I wrote an extension that allows you to include PART of one article (not the entire article) into another.
Email me if this is what you need.

Do you eant to reset the statistics, or would you like them to not
show up at all, ever.
If you want to reset them, that is easy.
If you want to make them never show, I would think you need to edit
their code. If you know php it shouldn't be too hard. If you dont...
then dont mess around in there.

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SVG_benchmarks#Further_testing
I ran a benchmark overnight on my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop (X in Failsafe,
i.e. not running KDE). Batik, ImageMagick, Inkscape and rsvg, each run
115 times through 58 SVGs from Commons of varying size and complexity.
Results (times in seconds):
median real mean real median CPU mean CPU
Batik 139.71 139.95 137.02 137.04
ImageMagick 112.43 112.67 111.7 111.73
Inkscape 51.43 51.52 51.18 51.2
rsvg 25.97 26.03 25.8 25.825.8
The laptop is a Dell Latitude D610 with a 1.6GHz Pentium M and 512MB memory.
* Inkscape was visibly thrashing the disk, suggesting it uses *rather
a lot* of memory ...
* Batik's JVM crapped out several times (39 out of 4485 rendering
attempts) for no apparent reason, not on any particular SVGs.
* Note that ImageMagick is not just slow, it's known to be buggy with
SVG rendering.
* I did not check the resulting PNGs, just threw them away.
Personal verdict: rsvg all the way. Inkscape if you have a lot of
memory and its dependencies are less trouble than rsvg (e.g. on
Windows).

Inkscape's half the speed and uses a lot more memory. Better to
ascertain and report bugs in rsvg if at all possible. (I realise the
security patch thing's a PITA as well.)
Batik, OTOH, is poo as far as I can tell. Fat, slow and Java craps out
at random. Perfect results except the 1% of failures to render.

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out how to include one article into another
for some time but can't seem to find out how. What I'm trying to do is
create several articles that are included in another article. The idea
is that changing Article 1 or Article 2 below would automatically
change Article 3 and Article 4 below. Sorry for the longwinded
explanation...
Thanks,
Justin
Article 1

Yes, you can do that easily. The process is called transclusion.
Your Article 3 would simply contain
{{:Article 1}}
{{:Article 2}}
And Article 4 would be:
{{:Article 2}}
{{:Article 1}}
Kind regards,

Is there a way to do this so that "What links here" on Article 3 is
"Article 1" and "Article 1"?
I think instead what happens by default is that "What links here" on
Article 3 is the many links "in" Article 1 and Article 2, instead of just
"Article 1" and "Article 2".
Thanks,

So for anyone who cares about the ajax search. I figured it out.
The ajax call is made by ajax.js and calls the search, but also
directs it where to go.
I modified the code to go into a div under the search on the side.
Works well, and it seems really fast.
Anyone interested, I can give you more detailed information.

I am a new administrator and I having a problem with spam on my wiki. Normally I would simply look up the new pages created and delete those pages. However, somehow this user was able to do the following:
1. Create pages that don't allow me (sysop) to delete them.
2. Create pages that don't allow me (sysop) to redirect them.
3. Create pages that are not listed in "Recent Changes".
4. Create pages that are not listed in "All Articles"
5. Create false login pages and copies of real pages that may redirect to other sites?
6. Create pages with URL names
Basically, if I had not seen this on my website user tracking log, I would not know these pages even existed. They are "invisible".
Here are a few examples:
1.
http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sima-ic.cz%2F_new%2Fiwer%2Fkepe%2F&%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%

6. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:What_is_a_Wiki%3F&%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Baction=edit&a
7. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?Talk:What_is_a_Wiki%3F&%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Baction=edit&a
8. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?Special:Userlogin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;returnto=What_is_a_Wiki%3F
They also created at least one false page like this "Editing TalkTalk:Main Page"
1. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=TalkTalk:Main_Page&action=edit
2. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?:Userlogin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;type=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sectoranime.com
3. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?Userlogin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;returnto=Main_Page
4. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stomol.ru%2Fcatalog%2Fafa%2Fazo%2F&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;
As well as what appears to be false login pages like these, possibly designed to steal passwords:
1. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;type=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sacred-fr.com%2F
2. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;returnto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scrappin
3. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;returnto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.channeln
4. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;returnto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.005flowe
5. http://archivopedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;returnto=What_is_a_Wiki%3F
Steps I have taken:
1. Blocked this IP from futher use of my wiki.
2. Added recaptcha
3. Blocked all unregistered user editing privilidges (at least until this problem is resolved)
4. Added SpamBlacklist extension
5. Created a Spam pages and redirected most of these pages I could find to it (but not the login pages and other pages which are duplicates (?) of original pages)
Remaining Issues.
* How do I ensure others won't be able to hack into my system and give themselves Admin rights?
* How do I delete the pages they created?
* How do I find out if MORE pages were created in this way--from this IP or other IPs?
* How do I put all of the appropriate security measures in place to prevent this from happening again?
* Should I delete the login and Main Pages and what appear to be other false pages listed above or will this affect the real Main page, and login page, and other REAL pages?
* Based on these false login pages, is password security really in jeopardy or does it just look that way? What is the best way to handle this situation?
I could use some assistance from an experienced administrator to help me set up some additional security measures and make corrections.
The specific IP of the known offending party is: 69.61.45.178
ARIN shows that this is:
Global Compass, Inc. NET-GLOBAL-COMPASS (NET-69-61-0-0-1)
69.61.0.0 - 69.61.127.255
SitiosHispanos.Com NET-69-61-45-176-29 (NET-69-61-45-176-1)
69.61.45.176 - 69.61.45.183
There is no information on ARIN where to report abuse.
Will someone also add this person to the BlockedList?

Some of those pages don't seem to exist, those that do just redirect
to "SPAM" and the histories show just one edit by "Admin1" creating
the redirect, except for a couple that seem to be invalid and just
default to the main page. What seems to be the problem?
> Will someone also add this person to the BlockedList?
What blocked list do you mean? Only you can block people from your
site. Just use Special:Blockip.
