Page Linking Help Needed

Hi, is there a plugin that automatically links key words to other Wiki pages? At the moment I am manually creating links but I'm sure there must be another way?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Mediawiki Appliance Version 1.13.20 Problems

Downloaded rPath Mediawiki Appliance, Running it on VMwear PLayer but can't find the localsettings.php file to edit.

Can't find much documentation. Any help or documentation would be great!

Extension Licensing Guidelines

I was wondering if there were licensing guidelines for extensions. I am combined several extensions with MediaWiki and noticed that some of the extensions have licenses that are incompatible with other extensions (e.g. Affero v.3 with a majority of extensions under GPL v.2). There are also several extensions that have no license indicated--is there a default license if you are coding for combination with MediaWiki? I was wondering if there was already guidance or if there could be some written on these topics. Thanks.

mySQL database username

MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
PHP version: 5.2.9
MySQL version: 5.1.33

I am configuring MediaWiki, except the one part I am having problems with is when it is asking me for a database username and password and confirm password. Below that is the superuser account, which is root.

>>>Granting user permissions... Query "GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE,CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON `wikidb`.* TO 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' " failed with error code "Can't find file: 'user' (errno: 2) (localhost)". <<<<

But it will not let me continue the configuration unless I specify a user and password since it will not let me leave it blank.

I am installing on Windows XP, just need some help with this issue. I am not very familiar with databases, i know the root user account info, but it is asking for a username and password and confirm password.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Migration stoped umlauts from working

MediaWiki version: 1.15.2
PHP version: 5.2.13-pl0-gentoo
MySQL version: 5.0
URL: ------

Hi there, i just wanne describe my problem once again and maybe today there someone with an great idea, i have an wiki running, it was migrated from another webspace _whithout_ changing the database, the webspace are the same architecture, an gentoo webserver with equal configuration, so now, it stoped showing umlauts, even in preview mode and only when the side gets edited or is new, the old sides works just fine, So if i edit the side on the old Webspace it shows umlauts very well, if i edit the same side and go to preview mode then it just changes every ä ü ö to <?>, the encoding in evry file is set tu utf-8, the database as well, and in php and mysql config also. I created an php file which writes data to an tinyblob in the same database, and umlauts work. so it should/must be something within mediawiki itsel, but i really dont know where i should take a look. Remember the side is just migrated, with an tar cpf and unpacked at the new webspace, there was no change in the sources. Hope someone has an really good idea

regards Jörg

Vector font is way too small (totally illegible)

I have just upgraded from 1.12 to 1.16, hoping to refresh our site with the really nice vector skin. I followed the handy upgrade article and all went fine! I then edited the LocalSetttings.php to:

$wgDefaultSkin = 'vector';

The pages still render but the are now completely illegible. The fonts on all articles seem to be about 4pt! I tried a variety of browsers (IE, Chrome) but no joy. If I change back to

$wgDefaultSkin = 'monobook'; all is well again. I spent the evening trawling forums, but no joy at all.

any ideas?

Signatures don't work properly on 1.15.1

Also asked here: w:en:Wikipedia_talk:Signatures#Invalid_links_in_signatures_-_MediaWiki_1.15.1.

I just realized that ~~~~ is creating links to SomeUserName and not User:SomeUserName. Is this a known MediaWiki bug? Is there a fix and/or workaround?

HELP! Anyone?

Hi there, please check in the user's preferences if the check box under the signature is hooked. Does this cause any effect to your problem? Bye --Robis.

Something similar to early WikiWords?

MediaWiki: 1.14.0

Hey, I'm setting up a wiki right now and i need to know if it is possible to create variables/functions for strings in wiki articles and pages?

e.g.

wikipage
Some text on the page
And even more text.

So now i know for sure that ppl at my company filling the wiki will miss to add [[links]] to other pages from time to time. I just want to make sure that the links to other pages that exist will be created. So i need to know if it's possible (maybe using MagicWords) if i set the string text as a variable for the function [[text]]. I have no idea how to do that and if it is even possible :).

TOC/Numbered List Formatting Bug

MediaWiki version: 1.12.0 and 1.15.1
PHP version: 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
MySQL version: 5.0.27
URL: http://wiki.electronicvisions.com/index.php/Formatbug

There is a formatting bug when a left aligned TOC has a numbered list to its right. The indentations don't appear to occur and the numbers themselves are located within the TOC box.

I tried upgrading to 1.15.1 to see if it had been fixed but it looked the same. (I then went back to 1.12.0 because I was having trouble convincing 1.15.1 to allow page edits, but that's likely my issue)

Here's the simple code that my example page uses to test it:

''Special notice text''
{| align="left"
| __TOC__
|}
== Sample Section Heading ==

:#First item in an indented, numbered list
:#Second item in an indented, numbered list
:#Third item in an indented, numbered list

== Another Sample Heading ==

Blah, blah, blah

Searchfunction in Files

MediaWiki version: 1.15.4
PHP version: 5.3.0 (apache2handler)
MySQL version: 5.1.37
URL: Intranet

Hi there!

I've got a little question about the searchfunction in my MediaWiki. Is it possible to search not only pages fulltext but also a word or phrase inside of a file uploaded to MediaWiki? One Solution would be to create for every file a new Wikipage and Copy the text into it. This would be much work and i think there must be a better way. Maybe there is a plugin which can handle this?

Thanks for your help and i hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards

(Resolved) Wired Data after upgrading of Debian

MediaWiki version: 1.11
PHP version: 5.2
MySQL version: 5.0 / Lastest Debian 5.0
URL: http://wiki.seemannsreise.de

After upgrading of debian 5.0 the whole wiki is getting wired. The databases tables itselfes look alright, and instaling a backupdatabase didn't help. What can i do ... ? Richard 212.51.25.1 Update: Upgrading from 1.11 to 1.14 didn't solve the problem.... Update2: Upgrading vom 1.11 to 1.14 with Database Update solved the problem. Everything up and running again :-).

ipblocks table corrupt?

MediaWiki version: 1.12
PHP version: 5.2.4

URL: N/A (intranet)

I receive the following message when trying to describe table ipblocks "ERROR: expected "[" to start datum, but got "4 [ 1 0 0 0 ]})}"; length = 0".

The reason I noticed this is because database dumps are now failing.

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.

I get this error when editing any page. But saving a new page is functional. *******(sitename) has a problem Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Can't contact the database server: Unknown error (mysql6.000webhost.com)) '''Can any one please help?'''

Answer: there is a file in the main folder called 'LocalSettings.php'. This file contains your database username and password information. Check to make sure the credentials are correct - this solved my problem. I had a bad password.

I had a the same error because I hadn't installed the php5 pgsql drivers so mediawiki couldn't connect to the postgres database containing the content.

I've upgraded via Web-Setup. Shell don't work. wgDBmysql5 is true ... false = no error, but i get problem with umlauts like äöü! The complete database has collation binary (manuelly set) and innodb (manuelly). After upgrade is sometimes innodb, myisam mixed or binary, latin1 mixed. I've tested some "install"-methodes (other settings) to upgrade - nothing work :(

What can i do?

Database error when trying to edit pages.

MediaWiki version: 1.14.0

MySQL version: 5.1.30-log
URL: intranet

When trying to update or edit any page, with any user gets the following error.

Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "Revision::insertOn". MySQL returned error "1048: Column 'old_text' cannot be null (localhost)".

I get something similar now, after at least a year of the Wiki working perfectly. Now no writes are possible:

from within function "Revision::insertOn": MySQL returned error "1048: Column 'old_id' cannot be null (..."

This is in MediaWiki 1.15 and PHP 5.2.5.

No changes to code or settings was made between functioning and non-functioning states. However, God knows what the hosting service has done to contribute to this.

Hi, I'll try to make it short! I have installed 2 extensions for the wiki, the first one was: "PHPSecure" and the second one "StubManager" because I will use the <runphp> Tags in the wiki-site, wich is still a sandbox at the moment. After installation, I added this lines in the LocalSettings.php like in the descriptions: SecurePHP Extension:StubManager

require_once( "$IP/extensions/StubManager/StubManager.php" ); require_once( "$IP/extensions/SecurePHP/SecurePHP.php" ); $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['bureaucrat']['coding'] = true;

So when I try to make a simple query,like:

<runphp>
require_once "db_mo_con.php";

   
    $sql="SELECT Marke, Preis FROM cigars WHERE id = 1";
    $result=mysql_query($sql) or exit("Fehler im SQL-Kommando: $sql");
    echo "<table align=\"center\" border=\"1\"  style=\"border:thin\" >\n";
    while ($row=mysql_fetch_row($result))
    {
        echo "";
        foreach ($row as $item)
            echo "<td class=\"Daten_DB\">$item";
        echo "\n";
    }
    echo "\n";
</runphp>

then the query works, but only in the preview modus????? When I try to save the page it gives this error:

Es ist ein Datenbankfehler aufgetreten. Der Grund kann ein Programmierfehler sein. Die letzte Datenbankabfrage lautete, SQL-Abfrage versteckt aus der Funktion „MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery“. Die Datenbank meldete den Fehler „1146: Table 'usr_web433_1.test_objectcache' doesn't exist (localhost)“.

wiki tells me that the Table (usr_web433_1.test_....) doesn't exist. this is right, the table doesn't exist, but I didn't ask in the query for this table. And why the query works in preview mode??? Can somebody help me, I'm not a PHP crack, and I'm driving crazy, since 2 days.. it is very strange..

Many thanxs in advance for your Help

I'm getting this error message only when I search for a geographic coordinate (which is how my wiki is organized) that has two negative coordinates. For example "-1.111111,-1.111111" returns this error message, while "1.111111,-1.111111" takes me to the appropriate page.

Can someone explain how to fix this?

PHP version: 5.2.9 (cgi)
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.3

The issue is originally from 2009 archives, and it took me a while to solve this this when my wiki broke. There are no other references to this issue in the net, so I'm offering my solution. There seem to be some cases where SQL-operation fails and PostgreSQL-related changes are not applied. These SQL-statements are from PostgreSQL setup script:

ALTER TABLE mediawiki.page ADD titlevector tsvector;

CREATE FUNCTION ts2_page_title() RETURNS TRIGGER LANGUAGE plpgsql AS
$mw$
BEGIN
IF TG_OP = 'INSERT' THEN
  NEW.titlevector = to_tsvector('default',REPLACE(NEW.page_title,'/',' '));
ELSIF NEW.page_title != OLD.page_title THEN
  NEW.titlevector := to_tsvector('default',REPLACE(NEW.page_title,'/',' '));
END IF;
RETURN NEW;
END;
$mw$;

CREATE TRIGGER ts2_page_title BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON mediawiki.page
  FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE ts2_page_title();

ALTER TABLE mediawiki.pagecontent ADD textvector tsvector;
CREATE FUNCTION ts2_page_text() RETURNS TRIGGER LANGUAGE plpgsql AS
$mw$
BEGIN
IF TG_OP = 'INSERT' THEN
  NEW.textvector = to_tsvector('default',NEW.old_text);
ELSIF NEW.old_text != OLD.old_text THEN
  NEW.textvector := to_tsvector('default',NEW.old_text);
END IF;
RETURN NEW;
END;
$mw$;

CREATE TRIGGER ts2_page_text BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON mediawiki.pagecontent
  FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE ts2_page_text();

-- These are added by the setup script due to version compatibility issues
-- If using 8.1, we switch from "gin" to "gist"

CREATE INDEX ts2_page_title ON mediawiki.page USING gin(titlevector);
CREATE INDEX ts2_page_text ON mediawiki.pagecontent USING gin(textvector);

According to FAQs, this is due to old (<5.3) PHP, but I'm running 5.3.2

Older versions of MediaWiki don't support PHP 5.3. Because they are also out of support and lack numerous security fixes, you are encouraged to update to 1.15.4 ASAP. Max Semenik 05:54, 17 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

What may be the reason to refuse the installation ? it sounds like DPL only is concerned by the issue. Because of the use of arrays as references in functions args ( LanguageGetMagic) ? see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51174.--77.199.136.200 11:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Since recently me and some of my users (but not all) are gettin the dreaded session loss error. I've tried troubleshooting, but so far to no avail. Is it somehow possible to force a setting in LocalSettings that forces the wiki package to use a local Session folder within it's own folder?

I tried using save_session_path="$IP/sessions";, but that did not see to do the trick.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I have been searching around, but nothing so far. My PHP skills are rudimentary at best. Normally when I click on "special pages" or "upload file". The page is blank, I have enabled error reporting, and I get this

This is around 87 on specialmultipleupload

function MultipleUploadForm( &$request ) {

               global $wgMaxUploadFiles;

.TMP File issue?

When Users try to upload images onto the wiki, they get a error that states "Cannot find C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PHP"X" Whereas X indicates a letter (currently PHPc.tmp) I've disabled Imagemagic(sp?) and I am still getting an error. Can I remote host the images and what tag would I use to embed it?

Error deleting file: Could not create directory "deleted/d/2/n" (or the like).

Hi, I have the problem that I get an error message when trying to delete images from our wiki. It says: "Error deleting file: Could not create directory "deleted/d/2/n" (or the like).

I found that the permissions of the ./images/deleted directory can not be changed to 777. Apparently it was made (or is owned) by another user. I have no root access, so I can't chown the directory.

I also tried to create another directory (del), set its permissions to 777. And then included in the LocalSettings.php :

  $wgFileStore['deleted']['directory'] = "$wgUploadPath/del";
  $wgFileStore['deleted']['url'] = null; 
  $wgFileStore['deleted']['hash'] = 0;

This doesn't help either. Even worse, after trying to delete a file, it turned out that also the owner of del was changed...

Any suggestions?

-> I managed to resolve it myself, after browsing mediawiki and Google for the same problem. It turned out that Safe_Mode should be tunred off (search on Safe_Mode for instructions how to do that).

Hi folks,

I encounter the following problem when uploading a document. When I uploaded a document and then upload a new version of the document, I can't see the new version of the document when I download it. Another user can see it. After an hour or so I'm also able to see the updated document. I tried it with the IE and Firefox, same problem. I also emptied my cach and all other options within the browser, so I guess it has to do with the MediaWiki itself. Thanks for your support.

no uploaded files in file-article

MediaWiki: 1.16.0 (on the same server an older wiki v1.13.3 is ok)
PHP: 5.2.12
MySQL: 5.0.90 (MyISAM)

When uploading a file, after the upload finishes, the browser opens a page where it says "No file by this name exists, but you can upload it."). Later I can see the file in the special pages file list (and I can download it), but in the corresponding automatically genereated article (e.g. "File:foo.gif") it says again "No file by this name exists, but you can upload it.")...

The problem strangely resolves itself after one hour or less, but anyway it is confusing and user will have to to wait before being able to link the uploaded files in the articles.

This problem has been reported previously but somehow has been tagged as resolved and moved into the archive | no uploaded files in file-article .

I came here to figure out why my captions are not displaying properly. Looking at the Help:Images page, I realized that it's not my installation because I can't see captions under the Example Images in this wiki either. Captions display only when the "thumbs" or "frame" option are selected. With "frameless", "border" or omitted, the caption refuses to display.

Looking at the pagesource of the displayed page, the caption is apparently not even being presented to the browser in those examples.

If it's relevant, I am browsing with Internet Explorer 7.0 though I had similar problems on Firefox. Rossami 23:42, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Turns out it's a problem of definition and explanation, not function. We are working to clarify the Help page appropriately. There does still seem to be a problem where the mouseover captions fail to display in some browsers. My current hypothesis is that it's an incompatible security setting. But that will deserve a separate writeup once it's reliably traced. Rossami 22:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

So, I have edited the page which was not working on 1.13.2 and copied the data from other system where it is working with 1.10.0 and saved the changes. but the page is not saving properly and it is removing the '|' and also placing some extra characters to the data.

Even the table format is good also the page is not getting displayed in tabular form.

It works good when i create a new page with table format.

(RESOLVED) EmbedImg Extension, Advice rather than tech help needed on Images

Product Version MediaWiki 1.14alpha (r45489)
PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5wm1 (apache2handler)
MySQL 4.0.40-wikimedia-log
www.trialworks.com/wiki

Hello, This is more of an "advice needed" post. I wanted to use the Upload/Image functions in MediaWiki but I believe I cannot... my webhost does not give me easy access to php.ini and I really don't want to go through the headaches of making them enable uploads in PHP, so I've kind of given up.

I did, however, download EmbedImg Extension and absolutely love it. It lets me take a address to an JPG or PNG file and paste it into the wiki, and in turn it displays the image (Rather than the path). The problem is that it's parameters only let me change size, but not location. I need to be able to align those images "right" with text, so that it all looks good. Aside from the extension, I got around the upload system by writing, in ColdFusion, an upload agent. It lets any of my users - in a super simple fashion - upload an image to the site and obtain the link, which then goes into the Wiki Article. It's really simple but very effective for my needs.

So now, I am just dealing with a formatting issue. It needs to be uber easy for my users. How would you guys/girls handle the alignment or would you really work on getting the Wiki upload stuff to work (btw, I feel my ColdFusion app is easier to use for my users than the Wiki stuff).

MediaWiki oes not find texvc - but texvc exist in the math folder !!!

MediaWiki version: 1.13.3

Hi there,

I need help, cause I tried serveral times to setup texvc for our MediaWiki. I downloaded and installed the latest version of OCaml and run the 3 steps:

  1. Change to the "math" sub-directory of your MediaWiki install
  2. Run 'make' (or 'gmake' if GNU make is not your default make). This should produce the texvc executable.
  3. Enable $wgUseTeX and $wgEnableUploads in your LocalSettings.php and everything should work.

I've seen no errors during the make but the MediaWiki does still not find the texvc !!! I checked the math folder and there is an texvc...

how can I resolve the problem ???

thank you !!!

How-to restrict access to a Special Page? (Resolved)

MediaWiki version: 1.13
PHP version: 5.0

Hi,

I'm using the extension Extension:UploadCSV where I can update pages with an CSV file. As this extension can easily cause vandalism, I want to restrict the access for just "administrators". Like when trying to access this page as a normal user: m:Special:Block

I added:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['uploadcsv'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['uploadcsv'] = true;

to LoaclSettings.php - but everyone can still access the page. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Chris

add to uploadCSV.php

// New user right - required to access Special:Maintenance $wgAvailableRights[] = 'uploadcsv';

function wfUploadCSVStart() {

       global $wgMessageCache, $ExtensionTitles, $wgOut, $wgUser;

# If the user doesn't have the required 'maintenance' permission, display an error if( !$wgUser->isAllowed( 'uploadcsv' ) ) { $wgOut->permissionRequired( 'uploadcsv' ); return; }

add to LocalSettings.php

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['uploadcsv'] = true;

Extension Licensing Guidelines

I was wondering if there were licensing guidelines for extensions. I am combined several extensions with MediaWiki and noticed that some of the extensions have licenses that are incompatible with other extensions (e.g. Affero v.3 with a majority of extensions under GPL v.2). There are also several extensions that have no license indicated--is there a default license if you are coding for combination with MediaWiki? I was wondering if there was already guidance or if there could be some written on these topics. Thanks.

Request for Enhancement / Extension: List of Tables and Figures

MediaWiki version: 1.16
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org etc.

I already asked for this on Help talk:Magic words, but supposedly this is the right place for enhancements requests.

Could we please have some new magic words, __LOT__ and __LOF__, added for "list of tables" and "list of figures"? Maybe also combinations of those: __TOCT__, __TOCF__, __TOCTF__ for ToCs with tables or figures or both included, and __LOTF__ for a common list of tables and figures. I'm not keen on the L ("list of"), so if you prefer T ("table of") __TOT__ and __TOF__ etc. that is fine with me.

This should improve table (|+) and figure captions people write, but might result in follow-up requests for a way to differentiate between a short caption intended for the list of X and a long version to be used with the table or figure. — Christoph Päper

[code]<noinclude>{{Bilgi kutusu başla}}</noinclude> {{Bilgi kutusu |name = Bilgi kutusu/doc |title = |image = [[Image:example.png|200px]] |caption = Caption for example.png |headerstyle = background:#ccf; |labelstyle = background:#ddf; |header1 = Header defined alone |label1 = |data1 = |header2 = |label2 = Label defined alone |data2 = |header3 = |label3 = |data3 = Data defined alone |header4 = All three defined (header) |label4 = All three defined (label) |data4 = All three defined (data) |header5 = |label5 = Label and data defined (label) |data5 = Label and data defined (data) |belowstyle = background:#ddf; |below = Below text }} <noinclude>{{end infobox page}}</noinclude>[/code]

When I use codes without; [code]<noinclude>{{Bilgi kutusu başla}}</noinclude>[/code] and [code]<noinclude>{{end infobox page}}</noinclude>[/code] codes

Only letters shown in my page like this: "schema: Bilgi Kutusu" with linked.

Miscellaneous (unsorted) Issues

Generate TOC from one page on another page

MediaWiki 1.13.2
PHP 5.2.10-pl0-gentoo (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.0.70-log

In short, I've got a page that includes a link to a target page. I'd like to include the TOC of the target page underneath the link to the target page so it acts like a jump table into the page. Is there an automatic way to do this, or am I stuck making and updating links manually? Thanks.

Linking pages by words

Hi, is there a plugin that automatically links key words to other Wiki pages? At the moment I am manually creating links but I'm sure there must be another way?

Any help would be much appreciated!

What I've done with our wiki is I built templates for specific key words. e.g. we do a lot of engineering, so for design & development I write {{design & development}} then modify the template to point to the appropriate procedures page. It's not quite automated, but better than manually adding a link. Plus, if the link ever changes, you only have to change the template once and the entire site reflects the new link.

How to add certain structured info to a list or table by an inputbox or submit button

MediaWiki 1.14.0 PHP 5.2.9 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.33-community URL local

I would like to make a list on a wikipage. This list must contain "name", "date" and "in" or "out" fields wich can be filled in by an inputbox. The goal is someting like a log for our users, so we can have an overview of who is taking hardware on the road.

Can this be done in wiki (php)? And how?

Thanks in advance.

Fatal Error...

I got this on a free webserver (so I don't have an access to it), after trying to save the page or to log in:

Fatal error: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]:
Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /mnt/md1/public/d/o/dob/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 2453

What should I do now? :-D

Drkazmer

you will want to post what version of mediawiki you have. If you do not know, go to http://<your wiki url>/Special:Version. Without it, finding out what function is on line 2453 will be a guess.

I have got the same issue with mediawiki1.8.1, following and upgrade, was there a fix for this?

character before DOCTYPE "<<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC .."

MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
PHP version: 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
MySQL version: 5.0.45
URL: local

I got a character above the logo "<" and I don't know what is generating it
and it is always there when I use the rich editor "disabling the rich editor doesn't help"
also with every preview it appends one more character as follow
<
<
one more thing
viewing page source I find that character before <!DOCTYPE..
<<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC .....

looks like something is appending that character "<" to the (output stream) How to debug such behavior?

FireFox error console shows


</* generated javascript */

what could be generating that character "<"?

sounds like HTML vs XHTML but how it could be fixed?

In MediaWiki what could be parsing anything before actually parsing any page, this character '<' is appended before any page, in the editor, just everywhere on the top of the page before the wiki actually parsing the page content

embed copies of authoritative versions of pages from other mediawiki instances, sharing one page history between mediawikis

MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
PHP version:
MySQL version:
URL:

There appear to be many ways of including content from one page to another, including templates and the "embed page" capability (which seems restricted to Special pages). The terms "transwiki", "inclusion" and "interwiki" are used in a confusing way making it difficult or impossible to answer some simple questions:

How, exactly and with examples, does one specify that the master or authoritative version of a page is at some other mediawiki, providing both a link to the editable version of that page and a visible & protected copy of it as if it were a page within one's own wiki (identical to the features of wikinfo?
How, exactly and with examples, does one simply include an entire non-Special non-template page from the same wiki? Is it possible to include from another wiki that is hosted on the same MySQL installation?
How, exactly and with examples, would one implement two-way transclusion so that the page could be edited in either one of two wikis, and the edits would be made reliably on the other to unify the page histories?
Are there any good examples of public mediawikis sharing content in any of these ways with private ones?
What other approaches, such as "auto-import of Wiki articles via XML using PHP's Expat Library" are used in Mediawiki extensions, and what are the advantages/disadvantages of doing this inclusion using XML rather than mediawiki's internal facilities?

How to combine regular expression so that you get the number of contributors per article ? (Extension:contributors)

I would like to use a reg ex to get from: User1,user2,user3,user4,user5 ----> the number of users (here is 5).

So that i could use : {{contributors/Article}} in a Reg Ex to get the number of contributors in Article.

Then, how to get an average on every articles or articles from a special cat ? Thx!

Does MediaWiki have access counter function?

I want to know that how many times is every page accessed. Can every page show its access times as the home page（main page）do? For example, japanese edition home page show "このページは 1 回アクセスされました。"(English: This page is accessed 1 times.)

If MediaWiki has this function, how do I configure it? If not, do I need to modify MediaWiki's source? How?

There is a logical need to decrease heading levels (position when embedded + 1) of included articles in Wikiskripta. Does it exist any extension sorting the problem out? Maybe it should be reported like a bug, surely also in other Wiki-projects would be logical and useful to decrease the indluded heading levels.

Suggestion on name for internal page

Just silly question. At my company we have wikimedia installation and it works great. We decided to put links to forms and other compnay information, but only for internal use (we are medical company not internet/web commerce company). What is good term to call our new internal page? Wiki is too limited. This is more than only wiki. Someone suggest Internal Company Portal (after your "community portal" on main page). Do you have suggestion? What is most common?

Intermitent bug during data entry using Semantic Forms

MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
PHP version: 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.4 (apache2handler)
MySQL version: 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.1
URL: Internal Intranet -> no external access.

We are experiencing a intermitted bug during data entry using Semantic Forms using IE. The bug seems limited mainly to users who have logged in for the first time. Further this issue appears to only affect users of IE.

User creates account and log-in. User creates a new page using a form, enters data for all fields, hits the "Save Page" button and all the data is lost. If they re-enter the data, then saves, the data is retained.

No error messages are displayed. Any assistance welcome.

Thank you, Adam.
