__NEWSECTIONLINK__ or alternative in 1.6.10?
is there any alternative to __NEWSECTIONLINK__ or in 1.6.10?

Q/ doesn't work on my wiki. You'v got any idea ?
 * A/ Needs MW 1.14++

TOC - hide contents
is there a possibility to hide the content at starting up the page? i saw that it is made with a nice little java script.

Full list?
I'm sure I saw something like __no-rich-editor__ around this website.

Getting the username
Is there any way to detect the username of the person looking at a given page, so you could have the code respond "Greetings, " for example? This is a basic programming exercise, so I was surprised that there doesn't seem to be any documented way to do it with Mediawiki, unless I just haven't been looking in the right place.

I'd like to be able to make a welcome template that uses something like:
 * Yes, I am looking for the same thing, but for multiple other reasons.. I am looking for some kind of , I am also looking for some kind of

== Welcome! == {{post|1=0|2={{ subst: yoursig}}|3= May I extend my warmest welcomes and offer you any help you may need? Thanks for your {{NumberOfEdits|{{CurrentUser}}}} {{plural:contribution|{{NumberOfEdits|{{CurrentUser}}||s}}, {{gender:{{CurrentUser}}|Mr.|Ms.|}} {{CurrentUser}}!

If you need help with something...
 * ...I'm always available! You can drop a message on [[User_talk:{{{1}}}|{{gender:{{{1}}}|Mr.|Ms.|}} {{{2|{{{1}}}}}}'s user

talk page]] (which I watch like a hawk) or grab my other contact info on my [[User:{{{1}}}|{{gender:{{{1}}}|Mr.|Ms.|}} {{{2|{{{1}}}}}}'s user page]].
 * ...There's a wealth of wiki documentation on the meta wiki, perhaps some of it may be of use to you.
 * ...There's a really good Introduction over on meta also, it should help you figure out what's

going on if your new to wikis in general.

I'd like to hear a reply! Just click Edit above, and write a message under where mine ends - then, at the end of your message (on the same line) type four tildes (Like this: {{4tildes}}) to automatically insert a nickname linked to your user page, and a date/time signature!

Again, welcome to the wiki - and I can't thank you enough on behalf of the community for your help in making us the best DDO site around {{face|wink}}}} Technical 13 19:09, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Which uses  {{Welcome|(Login of sysop)|(display name of sysop if different)}} 

does not affect title shown while previewing
This confused me for a bit because I thought I was doing something wrong -- the magic word only changes the title that is shown when viewing a page, not when editing. It would probably be a good idea to indicate this in the documentation.

What I'm wondering is: are there any other magic words for which this is true but not obvious?

counts sub-categories
Is there anyway to count only pages in a category, rather than pages and sub-categories? Eladkse 16:49, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
