Manual talk:Parameters to index.php

Cascading protection
Cascading protection does not "change" the protection level of the transcluded pages; these have their own protection level, but are protected indirectly by the cascading protection of the transcluding pages. Tizio 15:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Obsolete parameters
"editredlink" has been replaced by "action=edit&redlink=1", so it's likely to be removed from Wiki.php at some point. When this is done, move to a separate "Obsolete parameter" section. Tizio 14:26, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I could swear action=raw worked...
But now all I get is a forbidden message saying "Raw pages must be accessed through the primary script entry point." I'm fairly certain this worked before... 75.17.213.235 09:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

To clarify, I'm sending request like http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parameters_to_index.php?action=raw this used to work (iirc)...I think...?


 * Do what the error messages tells you: use the primary script access point. http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Parameters_to_index.php&action=raw works. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 12:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

AJAX
What should we do for using ajax in the search box? the description is not clear for me:

if enabled, calls a php function registered via $wgAjaxExportList; see Manual:Ajax. * requires $wgUseAjax to be true; the only callable functions are those in the array $wgAjaxExportList (implicite if $wgAjaxSearch or $wgAjaxWatch is set) * additional parameters: rs is the function name (e.g., rs=wfSajaxSearch); the rsargs[] array is the list of arguments of this function (e.g., rsargs[]=abcd passes the abcd string to the function). * the JavaScript function sajax_do_call for calling Ajax functions is defined in ajax.js

What schould a do in the LocalSettings.php

$wgUseAjax = true;

$wgAjaxSearch = true;

$wgAjaxWatch = true;

how schould $wgAjaxExportList[] with rs=wfSajaxSearch or array( 'wfSajaxSearch' ) works

Thx.

wp*Time...
I'm writing a bot for an internal corporate MediaWiki installation, and I'm running into the most peculiar situation. To a page that either does not exist or was created by my bot, I am able to update the page via the bot. On the other hand, if the page has been human-edited (no matter how far in the past), I receive a conflict resolution page. I have an edit token when doing this, and things appear to be okay there, but my values for the wpStarttime and wpEdittime are both blank. They are blank for two reasons really; almost every example I've seen has them both blank, and also I don't know what format a date would need to be in (or for that matter, a time pulled from where). Should they be blank? If not, what format should the stamp be in, and where should that date come from? This bot is for an automatic push of all schema changes to a database, so I really do not care about conflicts. Whatever my bot says should go. Is there anyone out there who can help me through this last leg of it? Thanks much in advance. -- Lance May 15:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
