[Mediawiki-l] RE: MediaWiki-l Digest, Vol 24, Issue 11

login id as parameter ? Here's an apparently simple question who's solution is evading me. We have mediawiki running on Ubuntu in a windows intranet (in a school). Everyone who gains access to the wiki has already logged on. I can easily grab their login name and pass it as a parameter to the weblink to the wiki. So I want a use to launch the wiki with something like http://localintranetserver/wiki?mylogin=fredbloggs which would mean that all editing that Fred Bloggs does bears his name. Sounds easy... would solve lots of issues... but can't quite figure it out. ________________________________ From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org on behalf of mediawiki-l-request(a)Wikimedia.org Sent: Sun 4/09/2005 2:42 PM To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org Subject: MediaWiki-l Digest, Vol 24, Issue 11 Send MediaWiki-l mailing list submissions to mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to mediawiki-l-request(a)Wikimedia.org You can reach the person managing the list at mediawiki-l-owner(a)Wikimedia.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of MediaWiki-l digest..."

Please bear with me if my questions seem trivial. Q1 - Can anyone recommend a tutorial site? Q2 - On a few wiki sites I saw handy button (Create New Page) -- How can I get this button to appear or is it some sort of hack I need to do?
