Hello
Since I did not find a recommendation about that structure, I ask
here.
Is it ok to use ---- to indicate the beginning and the end of a
contribution to a talk page.
Thanks

Hello,
I'd like to have your opinion about the following discussion:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Beer_parlour#How_about_search_engi…
*
*A "Yahoo! Search" engineer is proposing some ways to better index
Wiktionary.
Is there something we can do about it in MediaWiki?
Thanks,
Christophe (aka Kipmaster).
Hello
I am sorry for such an elementary questions.
- On the wikipedia page which configures my personal setting,
I can see an option that it would be possible that users
could contact me via email (without that I have to reveal
my email address) and presumably I could contact other
users as well but the question is HOW?
- I also read it should be possible that I receive an email
notification if articles in my watchlist (or articles
edited by me) are modified. Again how is this done. That
question appears in the FAQ but there is no answer.
Thanks

Using MediaWiki version 1.5.6
I created [[:category:country]]
and in the page of category a I create a subcategory city
[[:category:country:city]]
In city, there is at the top of the page "Category:country" as text
instead of a link back to the parent category (country). Is this the
proper behavior? How do I get the automatic top heading be links to
parent categories?
I tried setting $wgUseCategoryBrowser in the defaultsettings.php to
true, but it did not do anything. It did not even show the DMOZ like ..
">" .. headings.
Thanks for any guidance.
Hi all,
A few weeks ago I was asked to set up a wiki, I choose mediawiki (1.5.3 was
the stable version these days) as the software. As I worked on the
project customers asked me for some modifications. I want to share
those with the comunity. Currently the patch is for version 1.5.3, but
if you think features are worthy I can create a patch for version
1.5.6 (current stable).
The patch is available in
http://www.chasqui.cu/staff/manu/2006/mediawiki/mediawiki-1.5.3-manu.bz2
This a sumary of features:
1. Added a initTemplate(&$tpl) method in SkinTemplate in order to
give a chance to subclases to initialize QuickTemplates in several ways.
2. Added 2 global vars to keep category pages from displaying the
header "Articles in category XXX" and no articles at all.
3. Added a 'talk' permission to allow wiki admins to restrict
anonymous access to pages in NS_TALK namespace.
4. Added 1 global var to control how firstChar() should behave in
order to create index entries in category page's listings. This, I
think, should be done other way, please read the comments in the
patch.
Files modified:
1. CategoryPage.php
2. DefaultSettings.php (in order to set the introduced permission and
global vars to current default values, this is, as if they never
existed)
3. SkinTemplate.php
4. Title.php (permissions are granted here)
5. Language.php and LanguageUtf8.php (firstChar mod, see above)
6. LanguageEs.php (disposable)
I would like to hear comments.
Regards,
Manuel.
I've disabled the ability to use blank passwords on wiki accounts.
For a long time we treated accounts very laxly in this regard; there generally
wasn't _that_ much reason to secure a casual account unless you were one of the
tiny number of sysops.
In recent years though the number of sysops has exploded, and we've added
customization features like the user javascript which are cool but potentially
really annoying if someone gets into your account and messes with them. As a
small concession to security and accountability, it's time for blank passwords
to go.
While running some password security checks, I found that a handful of sysop
accounts had blank passwords. Probably some non-sysop accounts also had blanks.
Affected accounts can reset the password by the automated e-mail password gadget
on the login form, unless of course they didn't put in an e-mail.

Thanks for the message...
Some even more basic stuff.
iv'e tried running MWdumper on several machines with
win XP and Mac OS X. Nothing happens when I double
click the executable .jar file. I've tried instaling
JRE 1.5, but still can't get the file to run... on
some machines I see a couple folders with .class files
in them, but don't know what to do with those. On
others I see an executable .jar file.
I see that MWdumper is a command line interface, BUT,
where would I type the commands in.
What exactly does using MWdumper accomplish? does
MWdumper simply create an SQl file from the XML dump??
OR does it connect my local machine to my webhost so I
can import the DB file?
IF it doesn't connect to my webhost, then how would I
upload this massive DB into mySQl, since phpmyAdmin
has a limit on file size that is much smaller than the
DB size?
THANKS!!

Any details about your machine OS? But anyway mwdumper
have not GUI
front-end yet, but works as command-line. So use shell
or open your
command-line tool, write and execute command like
java -jar proper-path-to/mwdumper.jar
--output=file:your-wiki-dump.sql
--format=sql:1.5 --progress=10000 your-wiki-dump.xml
Of course "proper-path-to", "/", "your-wiki-dump" are
only for example
and
you must replace them with your really names/symbol.
Next, you must
have JRE
1.4 or preferable 1.5 installed in your OS. And
remember, that the
--output
argument must be before the --format argument if
--format is used.
