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.

page actins tabs got "unstuck"

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version:  	5.2.9 (apache)
 * MySQL version:  	5.0.67-log
 * URL: http://wiki.mirchar.ru

Hello,

I've been working on my wiki and all was fine, until I tried to install a counter on the pages. I've added the counter code to Monobook.php, cleared the cahe and suddenly thhere appeared an emty space between the page actions tabs and the main content field. As you can see, the tabs are not attached to the main body as they should, but are floating several pixels above it. Or, rather, it's the main body that moved down a bit.

I removed the counter code, but it did not help. I dowloaded a fresh Monobook.php from SVN, then a fresn main.css for monobook (I've been altering mine, I know it's not very good, but I'm so bad at css I couldn't figure out how to work with common.css), then commented out all the extensions from Localsettings.php. Yet, the tabs are still floating in space.

Please help me out, what could the problem be?

Hello everybody. I have been trying to put links such as "e-mail to user" and "what links here", into the sidebar of our wiki, but I failed. Could anybody please tell me what to do? I was not able to find these items in in mediawiki:sidebar in other wikis such as wikipedia, nevertheless they are shown on article and user pages.

Table of contents bookmark urls

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.2 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2
 * URL: http://www.spacetimeresearch.com/wiki/

We have installed MediaWiki in a sub folder of our website /wiki. LocalSettings.php has been modified to ensure that /wiki is setup as the $wgScriptPath. All the links to different wiki entries etc are working as expected, however Table of Contents URLs are linking to /index.php#bookmarkname rather than /wikki/index.php?title=Page_Name.

Is there some setting that needs to be set to ensure that this is working correctly?

Show/Hide buttons
I am on a wiki which is local to my home island, Shetlopedia (http://www.shetlopedia.com). For a while I've tried to get the show/hide button links over but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. Do I have to install an extention or is this simply a template one can make with code?

To be entirely precise, I mean the kind of show/hide that is at the very bottom of | this page

How to reveal more of headbg image above the main content window ??

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.7
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a-3buntu5.4
 * URL:

Using monobook skin/css, I want to lower the main content window (window with the tabs at the top) to reveal more of my headbg image (localized). likely really simple margin change, but as a newbie to PHP, don't know what they are yet. Looking for location in css and metric for adjustment. General info on physical adjustments would be good.

empty space before table

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14.0
 * PHP version:
 * MySQL version:
 * URL:

Hey, when i write a text and create a table right after the text, a free space between the text and the table appears. The free space is proportionate to the numbers of colums of the table has.

This is the code(but between COSTUMER and the Table is more empty space):

Customer

I really would appreciate your advise, Thanks

User Name and TIme stamp for leaving comments on discussions pages

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.30
 * MySQL version: 5.1.36
 * URL:

Is there a way to force a time/date & username "stamp" on a wiki page that someone has edited. I want to be able to have this come up on any comments that someone adds to the discussions pages in my wiki. I don't like the fact that you can add comments anonymously

Thanks
