How to get around 's symbol usage
I am using to add a piece of code if a variable is correct. The code, however, uses the symbol "|", which is what uses to differentiate strings and values. How can I get my code to work? http://www.vindictushq.com/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Item --74.100.99.189 08:40, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

How can I get my text to have a "right" alignment?
I can't figure out how to get text aligned to the right side of the page, despite searching the help pages for "alignment." Please help!

Existing pages with table code doesn't work in mediawiki 1.13.2

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.6
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a
 * URL: localhost

I have upgraded mediawiki version 1.10.0 with 1.13.2. I have executed update.php and refreshLinks.php. But the pages which have table code has broken. The data is in text table. All the pages are working good with 1.10.0 version. But doesn't work with 1.13.2.

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.

Please help me that what's wrong with version 1.13.2 that doesn't support existing page table code? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.88.84.10 (talk • contribs) 20:49, 31 December 2008. Please sign your posts with ~ !


 * I really need your help in finding this problem. Actually, it looks like there is some encoding problem some where with mediawiki version 1.13.2. This is corrupting the page display. If you are already aware of the problem then please let me know what could be the solution? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.88.85.100 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 13 January 2009.

MediaWiki:Common.css not showing

Hi! I do not seem to have the MediaWiki:Common.css file, either in the Wiki as a page or as a file. I created a new Wiki page with that name and pasted the basic content suggested on this site, but it does not seem to show any changes when I refresh. Questions: -Do I create my own MediaWiki:Common.css page? -If so, can I paste the content suggested here on this site? -How can I check that the css file is actually being used?

Thanks!

Want the theme used in this site

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.4
 * PHP version: 5.3.0
 * MySQL version: 5.1.36

I want to have a theme that the Mediawiki site (the current one), is currently having, in the wiki site that I am designing. When I say, the current theme it includes the following few:
 * Side navigations with arrow button and hide/show menu items.
 * Tab bars used in the Top-level navigation.
 * Search textbox at top right corner of your site.

Use CSS for style my wiki

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.4
 * PHP version: 5.3.0
 * MySQL version: 5.1.37
 * URL:

Hello, I like to style my Wiki with css stylesheets, but I don't know how. Can I code the css style direktly into an article? I tried it with  at the beginning of an artikel, but it doesn't work. That the same for html code, i tried to define a tag, but it is interpreted as plain text. Should I edit the index.php in the wiki home directory?

Thanks in advance,

Christian
