Caching

 * Caching on SMW: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_data_I_have_just_added_show_up_in_queries.3F
 * Only single page:
 * http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?15954-Is-it-possible-to-disable-cache-for-a-particular-page
 * worked for me (1.19.2): Extension:Winter with

Templates

 * See which pages include a certain template: Navigate to template and hit "What links here" (in the toolbox)
 * Use "|" as an screen output in templates: " &amp;#124; ", Example
 * Use table in template: with Template:!, Example

Including

 * If the source is in the Template namespace, just use the name itself, alone:
 * If the source is in the Main article namespace, you must put a colon in front of the name, thus:
 * If the source is in any other namespace (e.g., "User:Example"), you must use the full name, including the namespace, thus:
 * Noinclude, includeonly, onlyinclude:
 * noinclude: displayed only when the template page is being viewed directly; will not be included; useful for a description how to use the template and for
 * includeonly: displayed only when the page is being included. Useful for adding all pages containing a given template to a category, but not the template itself.
 * onlyinclude: only text surrounded by "onlyinclude" markup should be transcluded onto another page. It often overrules the other include tags: If there is at least one pair of "onlyinclude" tags on a page, then whenever this page is transcluded, it is only the material within the "onlyinclude" tags which gets transcluded.

Linking

 * Linking between Wikis: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking
 * Template:Softredirect
 * Linking to user's user page:
 * Manual:Redirect_to_the_user's_user_page
 * Manual:Redirect_to_the_user's_user_page

Misc

 * A better diff tool that recognizes if a wikitext block was only moved: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Better_diff_tool%3F#Better_diff_tool.3F_18763
 * Shows the number and growth of WikiPedia authors: http://stats.wikimedia.org/DE/ChartsWikipediaEN.htm

Connecting WordPress with MediaWiki

 * Use Extension:WPMW
 * If WordPress (WP) is not installed in a higher level folder but in the same folder as MediaWiki (MW) use this WordPress plugin to fix cookie problems

Special folder structure
Say you want your wiki to be located at example.com/wiki and at the same time you want your WordPress pages to be at example.com/word and example.com/press.

We assume that MW is installed in folder root/mediawiki and WordPress in root/wordpress.

Ways I tried to achieve this: -> FAIL
 * You can tell your WordPress to be at another location that you installed it in - just edit "Site Address (URL)" in "General settings". I tried to enter http://example.com there and followed the instructions shown here. I managed to get my WP running under example.com - however (as one could expect) the wiki was no longer accessible (since I had to replace the wiki's .htaccess with the one from WP)
