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.

Sidebar changes not showing up
I've followed the directions at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar but for some reason my changes are not showing up. I've tried purging the cache but this hasn't worked for me. I was able to have my changes show up before, so I'm not sure what I'm doing differently now that this isn't working any more. My sidebar has now reverted to the default settings it had when I first installed MediaWiki and no matter how much I edit MediaWiki:Sidebar I cannot get it to change. I'd be grateful for any advice. Thanks, Iain. —75.157.101.247 17:04, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Wiki toolbar missing in edit page after applying skin

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.9 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.81-community-log
 * URL: Tar Heel Wiki

The roundedblue2 skin installed on my site, tarheelwiki for some reason doesnt display a toolbar in the edit tab.

I can change the default skin for the site to monobook and the toolbar appears in the edit tab, so it has to be something with the skin, I assume.

Can anyone help me fix this issue?

 * Well where did the skin come from? Did you design it? I would suggest going to the Developers section and looking up the ID's of the different sections, in case they are not there like yours is doing.  Here is a link for your ease -> []

Disregard - The fix is to add the following to:

The skins php file:

php print Skin::makeGlobalVariablesScript( $this->data ); (I removed the php open and closing tags for this statement so the formatting wouldnt conflict)

text('jsmimetype') ?>" src="text('stylepath' ) ?>/common/wikibits.js?">

And have this in your localsettings php file:

$wgAllowUserJs = true; $wgAllowUserCss = true; $wgEnableMWSuggest = true; $wgUseAjax = true;'

At least this fixed the issues I was having.

Is there a way to inculde the Vacation and Meetings Templates in there Person Template after the part of the Free text ever Person can write to his Page?

Something like:

edit-link in articles and templates

Hello!

I need your help. I am from Austria and I hope you understand my English. ;-)

I have installed the MediaWiki on my webspace. There are no problems and you can go to to see my Wiki.

Now I want to change the look of "Monobook". The edit-links (in the articles) should be on the right side behind the heading - just like Wikipedia.

But I have another question too: I want to have an "Infobox" to sum the articles, for instance: bands, musicians, albums, ... I have created a table. But now I want to have a "template", so the user can integrate the table in their articles easily. How can I do a template therefrom? It's so difficult and I don't understand the instructions.

Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it.

Jakob from Vienna, Austria
