The workgroup at my company is considering creating a wiki to store information that everyone may find useful. It would contain anything from tips/links on new technologies used on projects to internal procedures/guides for the servers we have set up. Has anyone had experience with this? Right now we're mainly using Sharepoint to keep...
I work on a complex application where different teams work on their own modules with a degree of overlap. A while back we got a Mediawiki instance set up, partly at my prompting. I have a hard job getting people to actually use it, let alone contribute. I can see a lot of benefit in sharing information. It may at least reduce the times ...
On the other end of the spectrum I would be happy if I could install a Wiki and share the login credentials between WordPress and the Wiki. I hacked MediaWiki a while ago to share logins with another site (in Classic ASP) via session cookies and it was a pain to do and even worse to maintain. Ideally I would like to find a plug-in or s...
I have my Wordpress install and MediaWiki sharing the same login information. Unfortunately users need to log into both separately, but at least they use the same credentials. What I would like to do is cause a successful log in on the Wordpress blog to also cause a log in for MediaWiki (ideally both directions). There are two ways ...
I created a few mediawiki custom tags, using the guide found here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_extensions I will post my code below, but the problem is after it hits the first custom tag in the page, it calls it, and prints the response, but does not get anything that comes after it in the wikitext. It seems it just stops p...
When using MediaWiki's markup language, the only thing that I hate is creating numbered lists. The only way I know to create a list is to do something like this: #Item1 #Item2 However, if I want to add spaces or some other text between those lines, the numbering gets lost. For example, the following will create text that has two numbe...
I've just installed MediaWiki on a web server. Obviously it needs lots of privileges during installation to set up its database correctly. Now that it's installed can I safely revoke some privileges (e.g. create table, drop table?) Or might it need to create more tables later (when they are first needed?) If not then I would prefer t...
I installed mediawiki on my server as my personal knowledge base. Sometimes I copy some stuff from Web and paste to my wiki - such as tips & tricks from somebody's blog. How do I make the copied content appear in a box with border? For example, the box at the end of this blog post looks pretty nice: http://blog.dreamhost.com/2008/03/21/...
Had anybody found a way to migrate MediaWiki pages over to WSS Wikis? We just put up Sharepoint 2007 and while it appears to meet our needs, it doesn't appear to be any tool provided by Microsoft to migrate MediaWiki pages over to WSS wikis. ...
I would like to allow the logged user to edit MediaWiki/Common.css without adding them to the sysop group. I understand that this will allow user to change it to harful ways but it is a closed wiki so that is not a problem. Any solution is acceptable even changing php code :) ...
We are managing our development with Subversion over HTTPS, Bugzilla, and Mediawiki. Some of our developers have expressed an interest in migrating to Trac, so I have to evaluate what the cost of doing so would be. For both the wiki and bugzilla, we would need to either migrate the existing data into Trac or a way to integrate with t...
For an application (*) I'm developing I need a mixture of dynamically generated and static pages. It would be cool to use a wiki such that once a dynamic page has been accessed for the first time it becomes a static page that can be annotated by a user just like any other static wiki page. In other words, I want to override whatever out...
I am currently using MediaWiki as a documentation website, with login authenticated by LDAP. However, we have hit a snag. Certain pages contain sensitive information. For example links that say "click here to log in". I would like to be able to protect certain pages from being edited by just anyone. I would like to allow certain grou...
Hi, I have been reading carefully through the mediawiki documentation but I have not been able to find out how to create new groups. When I look at Special:Userrights, I see only 3 groups : Bots, Sysops, Bureaycrats I would like to create my own custom groups, so I can use some extensions like the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Exte...
My crappy web host did some upgrades the other day and some settings have gone awry, because looking at our company's wiki (MediaWiki), every quote is being escaped with a backslashes. It's not even just data which is being posted (ie: the articles) which are affected, but also the standard MediaWiki text. eg: You\'ve followed a link...
I have a Perl app. that parses MediaWiki SQL tables and displays data from multiple wiki pages. I need to be able to re-create the absolute image path to display the images, eg: [.../f/fc/Herbs.jpg/300px-Herbs.jpg] From MediaWiki Manual:Image_Authorisation: "the [image] path can be calculated easily from the file name and..." How is th...
I need to convert my Sandcastle Help File Builder (SHFB) output that is a Web site (HTML) to Media wiki format Find a way to transfer/include the converted pages directly into the MediaWiki we have set up. Any ideas? we have over 1000 pages of HTML files inthe Website (output of SHFB). I thought of using a html2wiki converter ....
Currently I have two MediaWikis, one a slightly older version than the other. I want to merge the contents of both together, without eliminating duplicate pages. So far the best option I can think of is to use a bot (like pywikipedia) to go through all the pages of one wiki, and try inserting them into the other, renaming duplicate pag...
Is there a way to send a whole form's fields through a sajax function call? I think it is sajax anyway. We are using Mediawiki and the function call is to "sajax_do_call(funcName,[params],callbackFuncName)" I was just wondering if there was a way to jsut drop all fields from a form into params? ...
I have the following input: <node TEXT="txt"> <node TEXT="txt"> <node TEXT="txt"/> <node TEXT="txt"/> </node> <node TEXT="txt"/> </node> <node TEXT="txt"/> I am currently using: <xsl:number level="multiple" count="node" format="1"/> within an XSTL script to receive the following output: 1 txt 1.1 txt 1.1.1 txt 1.1.2 ...
