Manual:FAQ/hu

Mi a különbség a MediaWiki, a Wikimédia, a Wikipédia és a wiki között?
Ez egy sűrűn feltett kérdés; részletes válaszért lásd a lapot.

Szeretném a MediaWikit (valamire) használni. Megtehetem?
A MediaWiki szabad szoftver, így bármire használhatod jogi következmények nélkül. Továbbmenve: a licencszerződés kizárólag magára a szoftverre vonatkozik. Tehát annak ellenére, hogy számos wiki nem szabad licencű, a te projektedben ez nem kötelező. A Wikipédiához hasonló lapok támogatására létrejött oldalként természetesen bátorítunk szabad licenc használatára, de röviden: nem kötelező.

Amennyiben a szoftveren kívánsz változtatni, bizonyos korlátozásokkal megteheted; a feltételekhez olvasd el a GNU GPL v2 szövegét. Mivel a MediaWiki ingyenes, a törvényi kötelezettségeken felül nem jár hozzá jótállás.

Honnan tölthetem le a MediaWikit?
Kattints ide a legfrissebb verzió letöltéséhez. A fájlok .tar.gz archívumokban férhetők hozzá. A szoftver Gitről is hozzáférhető.

Hogyan kell telepíteni a MediaWikit?
A MediaWiki telepítése 10–30 percet vesz igénybe, és szükség lesz fájlok feltöltésére és másolására, valamint a beállításhoz a telepítést végző szkript futtatására. Lásd a, ahol a minimum rendszer-követelményeket is megtalálod.

How do I install MediaWiki using a package?
Many Linux distributions provide MediaWiki in a packaged format for that distribution. The MediaWiki development team refers you to your Linux distribution for assistance with installing, configuring or using them. The individual communities and companies who maintain such packages should provide installation instructions.

Be warned that third-party distributions may be older versions, so pay close attention to compatibility information for directions and extensions.

Can I install more than one wiki on a server using MediaWiki?
It is possible to install more than one wiki on a server provided that:


 * You install multiple instances of MediaWiki (such as with a software bundle like the Bitnami MediaWiki Stack); in different directories – one for each wiki

Or


 * You use a different database for each wiki

Or


 * You use a different database prefix for each wiki (for Postgres, you can achieve a similar effect by using different schemas and users)

For information on the latter two options, see ' and ' respectively.

For more information on setting up a wiki family (wikifarm), see.

For information on an alternative way of setting up more than one wiki using the same server, database and source, see Steve Rumberg's (archived version) excellent exposé and additional comments from users.

How do I install an existing wiki, like Wikipedia or Wiktionary?
The main (but not necessarily the easiest) method is to import. See Wiki importing, below.

(Non-MediaWiki methods, such as Xowa and Kiwix can be found at w:Wikipedia:Database download).

Does MediaWiki require shell access?
Shell access (SSH) is not required for installing MediaWiki, but it is highly recommended. Without shell access, it may even be difficult for you to get a backup of your wiki, or to upgrade to a new version. Some maintenance tasks are not possible at all without shell access. Many major extensions work best with shell access.

Hogyan telepíthetek kiterjesztéseket?

Hogyan engedélyezhetem a feltöltést?
A feltöltés egy gyakran használt funkció, de a jelenlegi verziókban alapértelmezésben le van tiltva. Az engedélyezéshez tedd a feltöltési könyvtárt (alapértelmezésben ) olvashatóvá a webszerver számára (  vagy engedélyezd az írást az Apache-felhasználónak stb.), majd a LocalSettings.php-ban állítsd a  változót   értékre. A failed to mkdir hibaüzenet jogosultsági problémát jelent.


 * Lásd még: 

Hogyan engedélyezhetem más kiterjesztésű állományok feltöltését?
Az engedélyezett kiterjesztéseket a  változó tárolja. Ez általában a gyökérkönyvtárban elhelyezkedő LocalSettings.php-ben található.

Például PDF-állományok feltöltésének engedélyezéséhez az alábbi sorokat kell hozzáadnod a LocalSettings.php-hez:

How do I change default user preferences?
The MediaWiki default user preferences are in  Don't edit that file, just use it for reference.

Say if you want to hide minor edits in recent changes by default. DefaultSettings.php says:

To change the preference, put this in your LocalSettings.php:

To change the default namespaces to be searched, in any version of MediaWiki, set in LocalSettings.php to an array mapping namespace indexes to boolean values. For example, to search the main namespace and the category namespace, use:

In some cases, after you change a default user preference, you may also want to change the user preferences of all existing user accounts.

If so, use the script in the Maintenance directory. Use the "--dry" option for the first run, assess the impact and go from there. (--dry does not write the database)

php userOptions.php --dry --nowarn hideminor --old 0 --new 1

Also, always backup your database before making these kinds of changes (you do not need to if you are just using --dry).

Frissítés

 * Lásd: Kézikönyv:Frissítés

Lehetséges a wiki más számítógépre mozgatása?
Igen, működnie kell. A végrehajtáshoz biztonsági mentést kell készítened, amelyet az új helyen „visszaállítasz”. Végül módosítanod kell az elérési címeket, hogy minden hivatkozás az új helyre mutasson.

Hogyan vihetem át a wikim más szerverre?
Az instrukciókért olvasd el ezt az oldalt.

Hogyan változtathatom meg a logót?
A bal felső sarokban látható logót a -ben található változó definiálja.

A változtatásra két mód van:


 * 1) Töltsd fel az új logót a wiki saját feltöltési felületén. Így a kép könnyen módosítható, azaz jó ötlet lehet a lap levédése.
 * Ezután add hozzá a LocalSettings.php-hez' a $wgLogo sort; például:
 * 1) Töltsd fel a képet a szerverre (pl. FTP-vel).
 * Add hozzá a LocalSettings.php-hez' a $wgLogo sort; például:
 * (A példában a LocalSettings.php és a logó egyazon könyvtárban helyezkednek el.)
 * (A példában a LocalSettings.php és a logó egyazon könyvtárban helyezkednek el.)
 * (A példában a LocalSettings.php és a logó egyazon könyvtárban helyezkednek el.)

Ha csak bizonyos lapokon szeretnéd a képet viszontlátni, írd felül a #p-logo background-image CSS-paraméterét, vagy használj harmadik féltől származó kiterjesztéseket (például ).

Hogyan szerkeszthetem a wiki CSS-ét?
Nem javasoljuk a CSS-állományok (például common.less) szerkesztését, mivel frissítéskor nehezebb lesz a módosítások kezelése. Ehelyett a szerkesztést az interfészről érdemes végrehajtani; az összes kinézet megjelenését a MediaWiki:Common.css, míg például a csak a Vectorét a MediaWiki:Vector.css lapon módosíthatod.

A fenti lapok tartalma felülírja az állományokban található információkat.

Hogyan rejthetem el a baloldali oldalsávot?
Más szóval: hogyan növelheted a tartalom befoglaló div-jének méretét a terület 100%-ára, amely így elfedi a logót, az oldalsávot, az eszköztárat és a keresőmezőt is?

A végleges megoldáshoz add hozzá a következő sorokat a MediaWiki:Common.css-hez:

Ha azt szeretnéd, hogy csak akkor ne látszódjon, amikor a felhasználó megnyomja az F11 billentyűt, a MediaWiki:Common.js-t kell bővítened:

Hogyan rejthetem el a kategóriákat a lapok aljáról?
Ahhoz, hogy letiltsd a kategóriák megjelenítését a lapokon, add hozzá a következőt a MediaWiki:Common.css-hez:

Testre tudom szabni a bal felső sarokban lévő logót? ha igen, hogyan?
The logo is a portlet block without a pBody section. It is identified by the p-logo id. The background image is specified by the variable, which is defined in. This location is relative to the web server root and not the system root. Redefine this in to change the image. If set wrong there will be no image on the page; check your web server error log and adjust accordingly. However the size of the p-logo will need to be big enough for the logo if it is not to be clipped. This is set in the stylesheet (main.css in Monobook), under the p-logo style, the default setting is:

Note, if you are using a different sized logo, and want to change the CSS, please do not modify any of the core MediaWiki stylesheets. Instead add to the on-wiki css page (MediaWiki:Monobook.css for monobook, MediaWiki:Vector.css for vector. MediaWiki:Common.css will also work for all skins)

Reducing the size of the logo
Note that a tag is on top of the logo so if you are trying to reduce the size of the logo's portlet you will also need to change the #p-logo a and #p-logo a:hover rules. The default setting for these is:

How do I customize the link-URL of the site-logo in the top left corner of all pages that activates when the site-logo is clicked upon?
By default, clicking the site-logo takes you to the main site-page. If you want to change which internal site-page is the "main" site-page, edit MediaWiki:Mainpage.

To make the link of the site-logo link externally to any other arbitrary URL, you can add a hook to your LocalSettings.php to override the mainpage href which is used by the logo.

How do I change the icon in the browser's address line (favicon)?

 * Simply upload your favicon.ico to the root of your domain/subdomain, make sure file name is in lower case and its name is favicon.ico
 * Alternatively edit the setting in LocalSettings.php and add

See for more details.

Tip: The favicon image should be either 16 x 16 pixels or 32 x 32 pixels.

Rewrite Rule
If you are using a rewrite rule in .htaccess to remove "index.php" from the URL, you will also need to add an exception for .ico files. Simply add the following rule to your .htaccess:


 * RewriteRule .*\.ico$ - [L]

This rule must appear before the index.php rule.

Case sensitivity
When uploading the favicon file, be sure the filename is in lowercase. (That is, "favicon.ico", not "Favicon.ico".) A lot of servers (e.g., those on UNIX-like operating systems) will not be able to find the file unless its name is in lowercase.

How do I customize the navigation bar?
The contents of the navigation bar which appears to the left of each page using the Vector or the Monobook skin are determined by the MediaWiki:Sidebar page there on your wiki. For information on customising these, please see Manual:Interface/Sidebar.

How do I put a text message (sitenotice) on every page?
Put a text in the MediaWiki:Sitenotice page. It will be displayed on top of every article page.

You can also add text to MediaWiki:Anonnotice to create a message that only displays for logged-out users. It is often a good idea to transclude the site notice on the anon notice to make sure that logged-out users still get the information on the site notice.

How do I change which page is the main page?
By default, MediaWiki looks for a page with the title Main Page and serves this as the default page. This can be changed by altering the contents of  MediaWiki:Mainpage to point to a different title. If this does not change the 'Main Page' link included on the sidebar at install time, edit  MediaWiki:Sidebar.

Hogyan változtathatom meg a Kezdőlap címét?
Kattints az „átnevezés” fülre, majd add meg a kívánt nevet.

Esetleg meg kívánod változtatni a kezdőlap hivatkozásának címét is.

Hogyan rejthetem el a Kezdőlap címét?
A MediaWiki erre nem tartalmaz beépített megoldást (lásd: ), de CSS-szel megoldhatod. Alternatívaként használhatod a kiterjesztést.

Add the following to on your wiki:

If your main page uses a localized name or you have renamed the main page you need to change the  part. You can find a correct parameter by viewing HTML source of the main page and searching for the  tag.

For example, if your language is Lojban, the body tag looks like this:

Therefore you should put this line in your instead:

If you would like to hide the title of a "Main Page" in a specific namespace like "Help:Main_Page" add the following to on your wiki:

Note the difference:  in comparison to. The latter will not work.

If this doesn't work, you may be using a skin that doesn't support this, or you moved your main page without updating MediaWiki:Mainpage, or you have a really old MediaWiki version.

If the skin uses a different element for the title than a  element with class , you'll need to find the appropriate CSS selector to apply for that skin.

Hogyan rejthetem el a tartalomjegyzéket?
The table of contents (TOC) is automatically shown once there are four or more headings in the article. There are multiple ways to hide it.


 * For one page
 * Place the magic word  in the page's wikitext.


 * For all pages
 * Install
 * vagy
 * Add the following rule to MediaWiki:Common.css:


 * Per user
 * Users can add the same CSS rule to their common.css personal stylesheet.

How do I change the interface text?
Interface text is altered using the MediaWiki namespace. For each deviation from the default in the site language there is a page MediaWiki:Englishmessagename, and for each deviation from the default in each other language a page MediaWiki:Englishmessagename/languagecode. (Since release 1.9 there are no pages for messages equal to the default.). On creation of a page the edit box autofills with the default. When creating a page to override the default it is useful to first save the default version, to allow diffs with it. See also.


 * For a list of system messages, see Special:Allmessages
 * To switch off the MediaWiki namespace, see the  configuration setting
 * To remove the Privacy policy or Disclaimers links at the bottom of each page, set the content of pages MediaWiki:Privacy or MediaWiki:Disclaimers respectively to a single hyphen.

How do I change the interface language?
To change the default interface language, alter the value of  in , for example

You may also need to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes.

The new default interface language will be applied to all users who haven't ever customised it.

If you want to provide users the possibility to create and choose pages and interface elements in languages other than the default one of the wiki, you need the extension, which can make your wiki multilingual.

If you want to change the language settings for all existing users, use the maintenance script. For instance, to have all users with English set use French instead, run:

How do I remove the "Talk for this IP" link at the top right (e.g. when is true)?
One option is to hide the link using the following CSS in the wiki page MediaWiki:Common.css in your wiki:

Another option is, inside your LocalSettings.php file, to use the PersonalUrls hook to remove the link to the talk page of anonymous users:

How do I remove the "Create an Account or Login" link at the top right of the screen?
To remove the login / create account links from the personal_urls you can use this code in your to hook in and remove them:

How can I suppress actions and special pages?
Suppressing actions and special pages can be useful when you want to create the illusion of a static website via a particular URL or VirtualHost, but also have an 'internal' view that is a true wiki. i.e. if you have an inward facing 'view' of your wiki that users can edit, and an outward facing 'view' that should appear like a static website (no history, no discussion, etc., etc.).

After hiding all the appropriate links (see above), if you are using the Apache web server, you can disable actions and special pages using the following rewrite rules:


 * 1) Lock down the site (disable MediaWiki commands)

RewriteEngine On


 * 1) RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log


 * 1) RewriteLogLevel 9


 * 1) See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Parameters_to_index.php#Actions

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*action=.*) RewriteRule .* http://www.my.domain.com?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php/Special:Search RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*Special:.*) RewriteRule .* http://www.my.domain.com?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*Special:.*) RewriteRule .* http://www.my.domain.com?
 * 1) Catch a trick...

Above, a request for, for example, will be simply rewritten to. Similarly any page in the Special namespace (with the exception of Special:Search) will be rewritten to. Remember, this is only a hack, and isn't intended as a solution for a secure CMS.

Note that you will need to adjust the above rules to match your specific URL naming schema.

Other issues to consider when trying to lock down a site like this is the API and POST requests for the wiki content (rather than GET).

How do I edit error messages?
Special:Allmessages contains a complete list of messages (error or otherwise), that can be edited.

How do I change the footer?

 *  See:, 

How can I edit / remove the Powered by MediaWiki image (and possible other images) from the footer?
You can hide the Powered by MediaWiki image by adding the following to your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css:

If you want to remove it completely, you can use to remove it using this in your :

Note that this will also remove other powered-by icons, e.g. also the one coming from BlueSpice.

If you wish to change the icon images, urls, alt text, or add new icons please see ' documentation.

How do I add a reply link to default signature tildes ( ~ ) template?
You can customize signatures in MediaWiki:Signature / MediaWiki:Signature-anon.

For example, changing the entries to  will put a link to users' talk pages and   would give a more direct link.

Users can change their signature in their preferences.

How can I change what the of each page is? Where do I make changes?
Most of the text that you want to change can be found in the namespace of MediaWiki.

In order to change titles, texts, announcements, etc., go to Special:AllMessages, where you will see the text associated with the pages you wish to change. You need to log in as an administrator to edit the protected entries in the MediaWiki namespace.

If you want to change the title in your browser, you need to edit MediaWiki:Pagetitle. Go there and edit it just like you would any other page in your wiki.

In recent versions of MediaWiki, MediaWiki:Pagetitle is $1 - by default. If is producing the wrong text for you, you need to set  in your LocalSettings.php.

Don't forget to clear your browser cache after you change your settings.

Does MediaWiki automatically capitalize the first letter of $wgSitename?
Yes. This can be changed using the configuration setting.

How do I make external links open in a new window?

How do I delete an old version of a page?
Old versions of page data are retained in the database and can be accessed via the page history features. This is useful for reviewing changes and correcting or reverting undesirable ones, but in some cases, administrators might want to make this information unavailable, for legal reasons, or to reduce the size of the database.


 * Administrators can delete an old revision of a page by deleting the page, and then selectively undeleting revisions to be kept
 * For newer MediaWikis (1.14+), you can enable the core RevisionDelete feature that allows privileged users to remove single revisions from page histories.
 * The  maintenance script can mass-delete all old revisions of pages and their associated text records.

How do I use a template as a signature?
When you look at your preferences, you see a check box for "raw signature." But the field will only take a certain number of characters. What if you want more?

You will need to create two pages, possibly in your userspace.


 * 1) Create the first page (FIRST PAGE)
 * 2) Go to your preferences, check "raw signature" and put  in the signature.
 * 3) Create a second page (SECOND PAGE) (possibly a sub-page of the first)
 * 4) Go back to the first page (FIRST PAGE) and do
 * 5) Go to the second page (SECOND PAGE) and place the code you wish to have for your signature.

If you don't have this structure, you will still be inserting all your signature code into the raw code wherever your signature is used, because the software will insert "SUBST" in your preferences. You may not mind this, in which case you only need one page. If you want the raw code to only display, which looks a lot cleaner, then you need to use the two-page structure.

How do I add the sandbox functionality to my installation of the wiki?
In wiki terms, a sandbox is simply a "play pen"; a page which users can mess about in. This is an ordinary page created in the normal manner, and can be located wherever you like. There is no special sandbox functionality built into MediaWiki.

Users often inquire about the Wikipedia sandboxes, which seem to be self-emptying. This is not quite correct; there are a number of volunteers who run bots to clean these up and return them to a certain state at regular time intervals.

How do I add a "Sandbox" link to personal tools (top right)?
You need to install the extension.

How do I make my wiki serve all languages?
To make your wiki multilingual and a tool for translation, allowing translation of pages and of the custom interface (like the sidebar), use the extension; there's extensive documentation.

Importing from MediaWiki XML dumps

 *  See: 

Importing from other types of wiki software
There is some documentation about importing in the UPGRADE file distributed with MediaWiki.

To follow on from those, this is how at least one individual imported pages from usemod to MediaWiki:

Because MediaWiki does not automatically link to CamelCase style links, you will need to add brackets  to all your links. You can do this with the following:

First, obtain ImportStage1.txt (or whatever you want to call it) from the importUseModWiki.php script ( use > to pipe the output to a file )

Second, do

sed '/Importing/!s/\ [A-Z]\w*[a-z]\w*[A-Z]\w*[a-zA-Z]/\ \[\[&\]\] /g' ImportStage1.txt > ImportStage2.txt

This should create proper links in place of your CamelCase links.

This doesn't work so well for SubPage links - someone care to fix?

Then,

sed 's/upload\:\w*\.\w*/http\:\/\/aberwiki\.org\/uploads\/& /g' ImportStage2.txt > ImportStage3.txt

This fixes your upload links. Change the replace text so it fills in your url such as http://www.yourwiki.org/uploads/filename

You are now ready to import ImportStage3.txt into your database with a command such as

mysql -u -p < ImportStage3.txt

Importing from other types of files
There are a variety of tools available to help convert content from HTML (and other formats) to MediaWiki markup.


 * Developer and SysAdmin tools
 * HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki - a Perl module for converting from HTML to MediaWiki markup.
 * Wikificator - a JavaScript MediaWiki extension that converts XHTML to MediaWiki markup.
 * The and  maintenance scripts can be used to import text and images into MediaWiki.


 * End-user tools
 * wikEd - a text editor for MediaWiki that can import HTML (including Microsoft Word-generated HTML.)

Templates imported from other wikis (such as Wikipedia) don't work for me
You probably need to install some extensions used on the source wiki, such as, , or sometimes. Also, make sure that you copied all site CSS and JavaScript required by the template.

I want to have multiple wikis, but only require registration once
You can share other tables as well, as long as they don't contain any data dependent on non-shared tables or data specific to one wiki. See Manual:Shared database for examples and more information. It has a few more features than a shared user table, but it's more difficult to configure and it's tailored toward a Wikimedia-style setup. However, it is easier than attempting to completely merge multiple user tables into one.
 * If you're starting from scratch or you're switching from one wiki to multiple, you can use and  to have all wikis share the user table of the "main" wiki.
 * If your wikis are already established and you want to switch to a single sign-on, you can use the extension.

How do I fix problems or add features to MediaWiki?
The basic steps to improving MediaWiki (that is, becoming a MediaWiki developer) are:


 * Install Git
 * Download the Git "clone" of the MediaWiki source code
 * Get a server, a database, and PHP running on your computer (this can be annoying, so please ask for help if something isn't working)
 * Get MediaWiki running on your computer off that Git checkout (can be annoying as well, so, ditto)
 * Fix the problem or add the feature you were thinking of
 * Edit the source code of the relevant file(s) to fix the problem
 * Follow Gerrit/Tutorial

How do I add meta tags?
The OutputPage class includes an addMeta method which can be used to add meta tags. The RequestContext can be used to get the relevant OutputPage object.

To add further Meta tags just add further lines as last lines of the function addMetaTags like:

$out->addMeta ( 'description', 'This is a meta description.' );

...nem jelennek meg a képeim feltöltés után?
Several users have reported that, following an upgrade or a moving of their wiki, several images fail to be shown inline. The files exist, and the image description pages show a MIME type of  and, in some cases, a warning about potentially dangerous files.

To fix this, run the  script from the command line. This will set MIME information for each file in the database.

Recent versions of MediaWiki implement responsive images. Due to a bug, if the server locale is set to one that uses commas instead of dots for representing a decimal point, images may not render on some browsers/devices. This can be confirmed by inspecting a thumbnail of a medium or big image on a page with the browser tools, looking at the HTML code, and see if the  attribute contains commas instead of dots when representing the   value.

…are all PNG files not being turned into thumbnails?
After upgrading to a more recent version of PHP, it is possible a different MimeMagic.php function is being used to detect file MIME types, particularly the built-in PHP function mime_content_type, which fails to detect PNG files. Search the web for mime_content_type png for information on fixing this bug at the PHP level, possibly by editing your magic.mime file.

…do I get a 403 Forbidden error after setting permissions on my Fedora system?
Fedora Core enables by default. Instructions for setting SELinux permissions for MediaWiki are available.

…do I get Installing some external dependencies (e.g. via composer) is required?
Many web hotels only handle zip archives, and we only provide gz compressed tar archives, thus the archives has to be recompressed before uploading. This should not be much of a hurdle, but it seems like some archive tools occasionally fails to include all files in large archives. When this happen the vendor folder is left out, leaving the user with the rather non-explanatory error message.

Use a command line tool when recompressing the tar archive into a zip archive.

...jelentkeztet ki folyamatosan a rendszer?
This is probably related to cookies or session data. See Log in problems for information.

If this is happening constantly to all users, it probably means that caching is misconfigured. Setting  can be used to determine if caching is the cause of the problem. If that solves the problem, you should still investigate what is wrong with your caching configuration.

…is it a good idea to keep user accounts?
At many times you just want to remove a user account out of the wiki either because it belonged to a spammer account or you just feel like it. The appropriate choice is to block the account or rename it if needed. Here is why:

Do I just remove this row from the User table?

Rob Church posted the following regarding this issue on the wikitech-l mailing list:

"If the user has made edits, then removing rows from the user table cause theoretical loss of referential integrity. Now, to be honest with you, I can't think of any conditions where this would cause an actual problem; "undefined behaviour" is the phrase we use.

What I'd suggest doing, to be on the safe side, is running a couple of quick updates against the database:



What this will do is cause MediaWiki to treat the revisions as having been made anonymously when generating things like page histories, which should eliminate any problems caused by these routines attempting to check user details from other tables.

If the user has caused log entries, i.e. rows in the logging table, or uploaded images, then the situation becomes trickier, as you'll have to start mopping up all the rows everywhere and it could become a bit of a mess, so if the user's done anything other than edit, I would strongly recommend just blocking them indefinitely.

If the username is offensive or undesirable, then you could consider renaming it using the extension."

Another option is to give Admins the 'hideuser' right, and indefinitely block the user with the Hide username from edits and lists option selected.

A is hasznos lehet.

…is the number of pages so low on Special:Statistics?
By default, is set to. This means the number of "Content pages" on the Special:Statistics page only counts pages which include at least one internal link. This can be changed by setting  to. Afterwards, run and/or. (On Wikimedia websites,  is run on the 1st and 15th of each month.) There might still be wrong behavior, see for example T212706.

Honnan szerezhetem meg a feketelistát és hogy telepíthetem?

How do I use $wgSpamRegex to block more than one string?
is a powerful filter for page content. Adding multiple items to the regex, however, can be awkward. Consider this snippet:

This example code allows convenient addition of additional items to the regex without fiddling about each time. It also demonstrates two popular filters, which block some of the most common spam attacks.

Kipróbáltam, de nem működött

 * Problémába ütköztem, elolvastam ezt a lapot és tanácsokat kaptam a megoldáshoz. De nem működött, a hiba továbbra is fennáll!!!!

Tízből kilencszer elfelejtetted kiüríteni a gyorsítótáradat. Ezt legegyszerűbben egy korábban még nem felkeresett lap meglátogatásával próbálhatod ki. Jelöld ki az URL lapcímet tartalmazó részét (például „Valami_lap”). Malmozz ujjaiddal a billentyűkön, majd üss entert. Ellenőrizd, hogy ezen a lapon is fennáll-e a hiba.

A MediaWiki szerveroldali gyorsítótárat is használ, így a böngésződ cache-ének törlése gyakran nem elég. Részletekért lásd a vonatkozó szakaszt.

További ötletek:


 * A jó fájlt szerkesztetted? Ha nem odavaló tartalmat illesztesz be, okoz-e fennakadást?
 * Ez esetben a debughoz jó módszer a phpinfo.php állomány létrehozása, melyben mindössze a  szöveg szerepel. Töltsd fel a fájlt, majd hívd meg a böngészőből. Vizsgáld meg a gyökérkönyvtárat és a php.ini helyét.
 * A fájl jó részét szerkesztetted? Létrehoztál duplikált bejegyzést a php.iniben? Az új beállításokat a LocalSettings.php végéhez, ne pedig az elejéhez add hozzá.
 * Ha létrehoztál .htaccess fájlt, az AllowOverrides be van kapcsolva? Fordulj tárhely-szolgáltatódhoz.
