(RESOLVED) How/were do I add the google analytics code to my wiki?
May someone help me? I'd like to know, where in which file(s) (index.php or index.php5 or even other files) I#ve to put the code. THX for help. Mirko.

 * You should only add things to localsettings rather than hacking the codebase, here's a snippet I've used to add google analytics in the past --Nad 19:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You mean in the LocalSettings.php?, right? And: can you explain or give me an example where exactly to put the code? At the beginning, the end or somewhere else? THX for helping me ;o) Mirko

(RESOLVED) Any possibility to use images as link?

Hi, is there any possibility to use an image as a link? Like in  ?

Cheers, Timo 13:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S.: Gonna upgrade to 1.11.0 but didn't find anything re my problem in the changelog.
 * You could install the Icon extension, which allows you to do this with a very flexible and easy syntax. Otherwise, you can set $wgAllowExternalImages to true in your LocalSettings.php, then create the link like so:  --Skizzerz talk - contribs [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  16:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) PHP running as a user account - how do I point mediawiki to use it?

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.2.4 (apache)
 * MySQL: 5.0.45-community-log
 * URL: The Empire of Aesedra

My host has exec disabled which totals any attempt to make thumbnails. I get this:

[Thu Jan 31 01:43:37 2008] [error] PHP Warning: exec has been disabled for security reasons in /home/ulujain/public_html/wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1812

I emailed my host and he's set up a /php directory in my username space to run it under my setuid. The thing is, I've no idea how to get mediawiki to use this as opposed to the server's (nobody's) credentials. Do I need to reinstall mediawiki or is there some other way? I'm totally lost here. Thanks in advance. Peter (ulujain.org)

(RESOLVED) Problems with dot in article name
I have got problem with my local wiki installation. I get errors when there is a dot in an article name. If I want to link to the article about "Edward_Stettinius_Jr." and I add the link like this I get an error: http://localhost/dewiki/index.php/Edward_Stettinius_Jr. The error message says "Edward Stettinius Jr - The page doesn't exist". If I try to access the article at de.wikipedia.org there is not problem: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Stettinius_Jr.

Why doesn't this work at my local installation of mediawiki? Any help or hint is appreciated. Mazi

- Mediawiki: 1.7.1 - PHP: 5.1.6 - MySQL: 5.0.24


 * I have been working on this problem for about 2 hours. Finally I found the solution. The URL has to look like this:
 * http://localhost/dewiki/index.php?title=Edward_Stettinius_Jr.
 * It is important to add index.php?title=articlename. Hope this might help other users having the same problem. Best regards, Mazi
 * 1.7.1 is very old, and since you're running PHP5 there's no reason to stick with such an old version of mediawiki, I'd recommend backing up your DB and upgrading to the latest version. --Nad 20:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) How to make a page use a certain skin?
How do I make it so a page will use a certain skin?

—The TattleTale Strangler 00:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Off the top of my head I would say something like the following would do it (this sets the skin to "MySkin" if the article is MyArticle and in the MAIN namespace). You could adjust this to work on a namespace basis instead of a specific title too --Nad 09:22, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * That didn't particularly help me, considering that I have no clue where to place that. So, where do I put it? --The TattleTale Strangler 17:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Wiki helpers. I was hoping to create a website using Media wiki software, but I can't find a web hoster willing to put the software on their server and I can't afford my own server to host the site.

 * Take a look here for free web hosts, I'm currently using tsone.info which I can highly recommend, but you have to display adds if you want free hosting, also if you want an add free webhost, beware they tend to ask for a lot of your personal infomation, who knows who the're selling it to, have a good read of their privacy policy before you sign up with them, but as I said before I highly recommend tsone.info for free hosting. --Chris  01:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) question to the use of maintenance/deleteOldRevisions.php
What is the “bestof” syntax, to use the script maintenance/deleteOldRevisions.php? The first time, I try to use it, it (in other words: my trial-and-error-usage) deleted _all_... Not only the _old_ revisions...

It is very important for me, and I just want accept registered users or not... Not registered users I want only for reading articles. Please, tell me it is possible?

Regards Dakszan

—Dakszan 01:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is possible. Put   in LocalSettings.php to stop anonymous users from creating accounts or editing the page.  I would then also add   to make sure Users are allowed to edit.  With these lines only sysops can create accounts, and only registered accounts can edit.  You can also create additional groups besides "User", "Sysop" and the defaults and assign them custom rights, but it sounds like this will be enough for you.

 * Thank you - it works! But I have another problem. I have set up everything as you said. And how can I register new users, which I want to join me .... How hive them login and password. Because, there is no link REGISTER NEW USER in login form. You said that only sysops can create accounts, so - how can I create new account as SYSOP. And another question is - when I am logged as a user (my login is displayed at the top of page) - when I go to for example MAIN PAGE - my login is automatically gone - and it looks like I am LOGGED OUT when I click MAIN PAGE. And the same happens with other links. Can I stay logged in all the time until I leave website, or until log out?

(RESOLVED) Interwiki template transclusion not right

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.2.0-8+etch10 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch1-log

I am trying to use an interwiki transclusion. For example, on my wiki, I try to use use:

The problem is it shows the documentation for the template, rather than using the template directly as I hoped for. I have $wgEnableScaryTranscluding = true; and I have enabled wikipedia for iwlocal and iwtrans in the database. The problem seems to be related to include and noinclude markup on Wikipedia's template pages. Thank you very much in advance for helping me with this!

 * See bug 12401 for advice. You can apparently use  to make it parse the raw wikitext, though I haven't tested that yet myself. Tuvok[Talk/en.wp] [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team   12:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

This response is helpful, but actually it doesn't work (for me). When the template is fetched, wikipedia returns Forbidden Raw pages must be accessed through the primary script entry point.

Is there a way round this? The URL it attempts to use fetch the template from is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:unsourced?action=raw Renderer 15:31, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I just get an error that says the "template fetch failed". I think the reason it just shows the documentation rather than the template when you use the normal transwiki inclusion (the only variant that works, apparently), it uses action=render, rather than parsing the wikicode. It makes the feature kind of useless, since Wikipedia has all kinds of stuff on template pages that isn't the template. Tuvok[Talk/en.wp] [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  17:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I can get commonsettings.php to work for my new MediaWiki 1.12 copy I downloaded from SVN, however I don't quite get InitialiseSettings.php as per http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.html

why does the CommonSettings.php page (http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/CommonSettings.php.html) not include the following line: $wgGroupPermissions['steward'  ]['userrights-interwiki'] = true;

According to mediawiki.org it says that line has to be included in CommonSettings.php or LocalSettings.php for stewards to set rights on other wikis - which I did using the above text.

My host runs PHP 4.47 and 5.23 concurrently (no, I don't know why). Anyhow, my wiki installed using the index.php5 script, and I managed to get the short URL's working fine. Only problem is, when I try logging into it - the index.php5?blah turns into index.php?blah and I get a blank page. If I manually add the "5", I can log in, then it redirects to index.php?blah and I get a blank page again.

On the mwforums site, it suggested I add:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

to my .htaccess. That prompts me for a download when I load the page :/

My log file is full of these:

Hi, i'm trying to put this functionality to work. I need a page that runs on special pages, can only be used by admins/bureaucrats and displays a list of users, just like  SpecialListUsers does but then, lets you click on them and then delete them from the database. I know that this goes against the mediawiki's policy but since i'm trying to adapt the mediawiki for a specifical subject, i want to let the students from this subject to edit content on that wiki, and the other to just look at the contents (no register available). And when the subject is done i want to be able to delete the user from the database without having to delete the user directly using sql statements.

I have tried to search for a "delete user" extension yet i've found nothing. Can someone point me to what extension would help me or tell me what should i modify in order to make this possible?

I've been browsing through help pages from different sites but it looks like everyone has that page readily available. What am I missing?

 * Common.js is not a file but a wiki page (like this one) that you can find at MediaWiki:Common.js. <font color="#66A7CC">i <font color="#9966CC">Alex  17:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
