I have a fairly extensive wiki on ZWiki on Zope (in turn on Plone). Most pages are in reStructured text format, but there are several in straight HTML as well. What is the best approach to migrate those pages over to a MediaWiki wiki with pages converted to MediaWiki and HTML formats? Of course I'd like to automagically convert all l...

On our network (a group of related websites - not a LAN) we have a common authentication system which works like this: On a network site ("consumer") the user clicks on a login link This redirects the user to a login page on our auth system ("RAS").

I had MediaWiki installed in as the default site on my server using IIS 6 and I created a virtual directory and pointed it to the Wiki folder. The page loads, but all the links are pointing to the original location that is no longer pointing to the Wiki Folder. Info Server Name: tech Path to Wiki: http://tech/wiki/ Example Links Wrong ...
IE8 has a known bug (per connect.microsoft.com) where typing or pasting text into a TEXTAREA element will cause the textarea to scroll by itself. This is hugely annoying and shows up in many community sites, including Wikipedia. The repro is this: open the HTML below with IE8 (or use any long page on wikipedia which will exhibit the s...

I have a site in ASP.NET and i thought it would be cool if i can redirect users to wiki.mysite.com. Now i would like to know if i can easily make MediaWiki recognize users logged into my site.

Th...
I am looking into using a wiki (prefer mediawiki, but not a req.) as the repository for developer generated documentation (User Guides, Release Notes, Application Notes, Errata, etc.) from a collaborative/easy-to-update point of view a wiki seems like a good match, however since this documentation will ultimately ship to customers we wan...
I just installed MediaWiki on a website and I am having some problems. Whenever I go to "www.something.com/wikidir" the server gives me the PHP index file as an unnamed download instead of displaying it. However, if I go to "www.something.com/wikidir/index.php" everything works as expected. I'm not familiar with Apache and was wonderi...

Anyone have a recommendation for an editor like the WMD editor, but using MediaWiki markup instead of Markdown? Our site is already using MediaWiki markup but we want a slicker editor without changing markup completely. Requirements include: live preview of formatted text underneath the markup you're typing a toolbar for common forma...
I'm running MediaWiki 1.13.2. When I go to my watchlist, I'm limited to only viewing the last 7 days (though MediaWiki should permit me to view the last 30 days). I've tried: Clicking the all button Changing the URL Changing the settings under MY PREFERENCES->WATCHLIST. When I save (e.g. 30 days) it resets back to 7 days! Googling fo...

All I need is to add a new edit button on the edit page which displays a javascript popup editor which in turn makes the appropriate calls. I need to know if it is feasible in Mediawiki, to inject javascrpt code into edit buttons. Any kind of ...
We have a MediaWiki wiki in which we make extensive use of templates. These templates often include a future date. For example, when a page should be deleted, we use a deletion template with a date one week in the future. (This then produces a message on the page showing that the page will be subject to deletion at that date.) Is ther...
I'm developing a wiki (based off of MediaWiki and Semantic Mediawiki+), and I'm having some trouble with tables - after making one, I'd like to be able to add another column or row in a WYSIWYG editor, as not all of the users know MediaWiki markup. Currently, I can't change the # of rows/columns after creating a table through my WYSIWYG...
Wikimedia explains how you can create a table based on multiple templates, where each row is formed from a single template. Is there anyway to do the same for columns? It sounds easy but I could not get it to work. Instead my page displayed multiple tables instead of multiple columns. Here's some code: Row page {|class="wikitable sort...
