Interwiki mappings?

  • Heh, I know it's pretty quiet here, but I thought I would mention this before I forgot. On the page Help:Template, I noticed the redlink for m:Help:Template. Which, after digging around a bit, I think can be solved outside of MidrangeWiki using the information here. — MrDolomite | Talk 15:39, 2 August 2006 (CDT)

Listed on wikiindex

I added a listing [1] over on http://www.wikiindex.com/. — MrDolomite | Talk 16:30, 10 September 2006 (CDT)

Deletion requests

Not that we have a bunch of them yet, but I made (hopefully) simple way to request deletions. Add the template {{delete}} to whatever is to be deleted and it will show up in [[Category:Deletion requests]]. Then, whomever has the authority to do deletes (um, you :), can decide yea or nay. — MrDolomite | Talk 11:29, 13 October 2006 (CDT)

MediaWiki 1.8 upgrade

Good deal, I'll holler if anything seems odd. I upgraded my local wiki recently and haven't had any trouble, but you never know. — MrDolomite | Talk 06:35, 6 November 2006 (CST)

HTML Comments in Templates

Hmm, when I look at the HTML source of an article which uses the {{stub}} template, the google comments are showing. I'm just not sure if they are from the template code or from somewhere else. I'll do a few tests and see what happens. — MrDolomite | Talk 15:12, 3 January 2007 (CST)

HTML Comments in Templates Part 2

Grr, based on some quick testing, I would say "No Dice". It appears that the wiki-parser does not even pass those wiki source comments out to the HTML. The google_ad_section lines in the HTML must be coming from somewhere else. I was going to say Mediawiki:Monobook.css or MediaWiki:Monobook.js but there is no google in there.

I'll check on http://meta.wikimedia.org and http://www.mediawiki.org about wiki-parsing and HTML, along with the mediawiki-l mailing list archives. — MrDolomite | Talk 15:38, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Mediawiki 1.9.0

Cool, I'll keep my eyes open for post-upgrade goofiness. The Wikimedia family of sites have been at 1.9 for a bit and are now actually onto 10ish. — MrDolomite | Talk 12:27, 11 January 2007 (CST)

Unable to upload file

On page Special:Upload, getting this error.

The upload directory (/home/wiki/html/images) is not writable by the webserver.

Sub-pages in templates

Trying to use a sub-page trick to document templates and realized that sub-pages are not turned on in the template namespace. From this info on meta, I think all that needs to be done adding this line to the LocalSettings.php file.

# Enable subpages in the template namespace
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_TEMPLATE] = true;

Thanx — MrDolomite | Talk 12:51, 11 January 2007 (CST)

  • That did the trick. I updated {{Delete}} to use the new documentation sub-page trick. — MrDolomite | Talk 09:27, 12 January 2007 (CST)
