Hello all

I'd like to customise some of my Wiki pages, alas, I don't know how (am 
not much of a PHP expert)...

1. I have this little error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function text() in 
C:\Server\htdocs\\wiki\skins\MonoBook.php on line 61

How to solve this?

2. How can I change the "Main_Page" to something else?
Additionally, I have a bilingual wiki so I need two names for the 
Main_Page both accessible

3. How to change the 'Talk:Article' to something different (i.e. like 
they did with the translations of Wikipedia)
4. I have written a SSI-footer and header, however, I can't get them 
into including them in my index.php (php require('foo.bar') function), 
how do I do this, or can't I?
5. Can I change 'index.php' to 'wiki.php' w/o any problems? (the reason 
being, i'd like my wiki to be placed in my main directory, where my 
index.php already exists)
6. I've never been fond on the WikiFormatting ([[internal link]], 
''italic text'', '''bold text''', etc), so I prefer using HTML in my 
Wiki, though, HTML is disabled by default...
How can I enable all possible HTML and disable the WikiFormatting (don't 
argue or ask why)...

I guess that was it for now...
Thanks in advance
