I'm not quite sure what you mean. When you say "wikipedia", what do you mean? Wikipedia is a particular website running on the MediaWiki software. If you're talking about your own website, then I think you mean "MediaWiki" not "wikipedia". If you really do mean Wikipedia, then I don't think you can do what you suggest - you can't have your "own" page on Wikipedia. If you do mean "MediaWiki", then I'm still not sure what you're getting at. MediaWiki has a built in search function, you don't need to write your own page for it.

One second Thomas Dalton,I will clear your doubt. You know that on WIKIPEDIA we can create an account and add details on it.Here i am talking only about WIKIPEDIA. Now i edited this accounts user page . MY goal is to display that page content from third party (i will design) software . Now a user uses this third party software to search for particular category file,in account created by me initially in WIKIPEDIA.To search he gives keyword from third party soft ware.Based on this keyword page must be displayed if it is in my created account. MY QUESTION IS CAN I DISPLAY THE PAGE? PLEASE JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER. Thanks a lot for your response. regards, maveesh On 7/18/07, Thomas Dalton <thomas.dalton(a)gmail.com> wrote:

You can not display any external site anywhere on Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia project. You can only link to it (if it's not included in spam filter database). Regards Danny B.

MY QUESTION IS CAN I DISPLAY THE PAGE? PLEASE JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER.

If I understand you correct, the answer is "no". The only content on Wikipedia is that which is typed into the form on the edit page, there is no other way to add content.

Or perhaps they are creating a "Wikipedia user-page editor"? - Mark Clements (HappyDog)

That's not how I interpreted Maveesh's email. It sounds to me like he's trying to create some kind of search tool, but I don't understand the details.

Yeah - me neither. I figured that it could be some kind of 'private portal' kind of tool, so you specify subjects you're interested in, and it searches for relevant/new/changed/whatever articles and automatically updates your user page with links/content/whatever. If it's not that then I'm not quite sure what the point of an extra search tool would be, even if it was possible. - Mark Clements (HappyDog)

Yes its correct Mr.Clements. This what u replied " It could be some kind of 'private portal' kind of tool, so you specify subjects you're interested in, and it searches for relevant/new/changed/whatever articles". Search must take place only on prescribed place(only in my account of wikipedia). Whether it is possible for me to do this? On 7/18/07, Mark Clements <gmane(a)kennel17.co.uk> wrote:

What is 'search in my account'? Search on the pages you edited? Search on the pages you watch? Search on pages from X categories? Read a list of titles from your mind and search in them? ;-) Also, search the titles or fulltext search?

What do you mean by "in my account"? Do you mean subpages of your user page? If so, I think you probably want to make your own website, not use Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a project to make a free encyclopedia, anything not related to that project should be done elsewhere.

It's pretty clear to me that Mr. Kumar does not have English as a first language; given the technical domain, perhaps he should either look for someone who is more fully bilingual, or post his question in his native language in the hopes such a person is on the list and will step up to translate? Cause I've done tier-1 tech support for a living for 20 years, and Wikipedia for about 4, and I can't figure out what he's on about, either... :-) Cheers -- jra -- Jay R.
