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.

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

 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a-3buntu5.4

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

 * PHP version:

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):

I really would appreciate your advise, Thanks

User Name and TIme stamp for leaving comments on discussions pages

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

No page header

Hi.

I'm new to the mediawiki software, and I recently started a wiki for a translation project. I changed my default skin for the wiki to "Modern" almost immediately and added the Mediawiki:Common.css code in order to use a specific table formatting, among other things. I noticed today that the TITLE for each page doesn't show up at all. I'm wondering if I have to alter some code or script, or if Iscrewed something up when I made changes.

Thanks for the help. --68.10.159.236 02:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
