미디어위키, 위키미디어, 위키백과, 위키의 차이점은 무엇입니까?
이건 자주 하는 질문입니다. 이 질문에 대한 자세한 정보는 을 보기 바랍니다.

미디어위키를 어떤 목적으로 쓰고 싶습니다. 가능합니까?
미디어위키는 자유 소프트웨어입니다. 이 말은 여러분은 아무런 법적인 제한 없이 어떤 목적으로도 미디어위키를 쓸 수 있다는 말입니다. 더불어, 라이선스 조건은 소프트웨어 그 자체에 단독으로 적용됩니다. 이것은 아무리 많은 위키들이 그 내용에 관대한 라이선스를 허용한다 해도, 어떤 특정한 방법으로 제출된 개인 위키의 내용을 허가할 의무는 없습니다. 물론, 위키백과와 같은 지원 사이트에 프로젝트로서 설립되었다면, 우리는 개인에게 개인이 자유 배포를 허가하여 쓴 글에 대해 허가할 것을 권장하지만, 요컨대 개인은 허가하지 않아도 됩니다.

소프트웨어를 직접 수정하거나 개정하는 것은 일반적으로 허용되지만 일부 제한이 있으므로 더 자세한 정보에 대해서는 GNU GPL 버전 2 전문을 참고하시는 것이 좋습니다. 그 이유는 미디어위키는 무료로 제공되므로 적용될 수 있는 법이 허용하는 정도에 대한 보증을 할 수 없기 때문입니다.

어디에서 미디어위키를 다운로드 합니까?
미디어위키의 최신 안정 배포 버전을 다운로드 하려면 여기를 클릭하십시오. 배포 파일들은 .tar.gz으로 압축되어 제공됩니다. 또한 Git 저장소에서 다운로드 할 수 있습니다.

미디어위키 설치하는 법은?
미디어위키의 설치는 10분에서 30분이 걸립니다. 완벽한 설명서는 배포되는 압축프로그램의 INSTALL 파일에 있습니다. See, where you will also find the minimum system requirements.

미디어위키는 어떻게 설치합니까? 시스템 요구성능은?
많은 리눅스 배포분은 미디어위키를 그 배포분에 대한 포장된 형식으로 제공합니다. 미디어위키 개발 팀은 개인에게 개인의 리눅스 배포분이 설치, 환경설정이나 배포분을 사용하는 데 필요한 도움을 알리고 있습니다. 이러한 패키지들을 관리하는 개인적 커뮤니티와 회사들은 설치에 대해 설명해야 합니다.

서드 파티 배포분은 오래된 버전일 수 있음을 알리며, 따라서 목적과 확장의 호환성 정보에 대해 상당한 주의를 기울여야 합니다.

한 서버에 여러개의 미디어위키 설치가 가능합니까? 어떻게 하죠?
한 서버에 여러 개의 위키가 설치될 수 있습니다. 그 방법은:


 * 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


 * 개인은 각 위키에 서로 다른 데이터베이스를 사용해야 합니다.

또는

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).

미디어위키를 사용할 때 셸 접속이 필요합니까?
미디어위키를 설치할 때 셸 접속(SSH)이 반드시 필요한 것은 아닙니다. 하지만 셸에 접속하기를 강력하게 권고하고 있습니다. 셸에 접속할 수 없다면, 위키를 백업하거나 새로운 버전으로 업그레이드하기 상당히 어렵습니다. 몇몇 유지관리 작업은 셸에 접속해야만 할 수 있습니다. 그리고 많은 주요 확장 기능들은 셸 접속을 해야 정상적으로 동작합니다.

파일 업로드를 가능하게 하려면 어떻게 합니까?
파일 업로드는 미디어위키에서 자주 사용되는 기능입니다. 하지만 모든 배포 버전에서 이 기능은 기본값으로 불가능하게 설정되어 있습니다. 파일 업로드를 활성화시키기 위해서는, 먼저 웹 서버( 혹은 Apache 사용자에게 디렉토리를 쓰기 가능하게 허용하는 것 등) 에 의해 쓰기 가능한 업로드 디렉토리 (기본  )를 만듭니다. 그리고 를 LocalSettings.php 내에서. 업로드 시도 중 "mkdir에 실패했습니다." 오류가 발생할 경우 이는 허가 문제가 있다는 것을 의미할 수 있습니다.

추가적인 확장자 파일을 업로드 허용하려면?
미디어위키는 파일 업로드 유형들을 지시 배열을 이용해 특정하는 것이 필요합니다. 보통 이 지시는 개인의 미디어위키 설치 폴더의 LocalSettings.php에 위치합니다.

예를들어, LocalSettings.php 파일을 수정해서, PDF 파일을 업로드 허용할 수 있습니다:

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).

Is it possible to move my wiki to a different machine?
Yes. It should be. In essence, you will be backing up your old installation and then "restoring" it onto the new machine. Finally, you will have to make additional modifications to update the wiki configuration so that everything points to the new location.

어떻게 제 위키를 다른 서버에 이동시키죠?
Follow the instructions at Manual:Moving a wiki.

로고 변경하는 방법은?
로고는 미디어위키의 왼쪽 상단에 위치합니다. LocalSettings.php 파일에서 $wgLogo을 수정해서, 로고를 변경할 수 있습니다.

There are two ways to change the logo:


 * 1) Upload a picture to your wiki using the normal file uploading interface. This allows the logo to be replaced easily, so you may want to protect the page if you use this method.
 * Then add the $wgLogo line to LocalSettings.php, for example:
 * 1) Upload an image to your server by other means (such as FTP).
 * Add the $wgLogo line to LocalSettings.php, for example:
 * (In this example, the image is in the same folder as the LocalSettings.php file.)
 * (In this example, the image is in the same folder as the LocalSettings.php file.)
 * (In this example, the image is in the same folder as the LocalSettings.php file.)

If you want to change the logo in only specific pages, override #p-logo css's background-image property or use third party extension like.

어떻게 위키의 CSS를 편집하나요?
You shouldn't edit the CSS files (such as common.less) directly, because it will make upgrading harder if you need to apply your customizations each time you upgrade the software. Instead you need to edit a wiki page called MediaWiki:Common.css if you want to apply your CSS changes for all skins, or a wiki page called MediaWiki:Vector.css if you want to apply the customizations only for the Vector skin.

The content of the MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.css pages always overrides the default CSS styles specified in the skin files.

How do I hide the left vertical navigation toolbar?
In other words, how do you make the main content div take up 100% of the display, hiding the logo, toolbox, navigation and search engine?

To hide it permanently, copy and paste the following into the MediaWiki:Common.css page:

To instead hide the toolbar when the user presses F11, enter this in your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js:

How do I hide the categories at the bottom of each page?
You can hide display of the categories on each page by modifying your MediaWiki:Common.css and adding:

Can I customize the logo in the top left corner? If so, how?
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.

파비콘을 변경하는 방법은?

 * 미디어위키 루트에 있는 favicon.ico 파일을 변경하면 됩니다.
 * 다른 방법으로, LocalSettings.php 파일에서 $wgFavicon 셋팅을 변경하면 됩니다.

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.

어떻게 둘러보기 바를 사용자 설정하나요?
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.

모든 문서마다 텍스트 메시지(사이트 공지)를 어떻게 추가합니까?
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.

어떻게 대문 제목을 변경하나요?
Simply click on the "Move" tab, and move the page to the desired page title.

Usually you also want to change which page is the configured as "main page".

대문 제목은 어떻게 감추나요?
MediaWiki does not have a built-in option to hide the main page title (see ), but you can use CSS to hide the title. Alternatively, you can use the extension.

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.

목차는 어떻게 숨깁니까?
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.

 * Add the following rule to MediaWiki:Common.css:


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

인터페이스 텍스트는 어떻게 변경합니까?
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. 항목도 참고하십시오.


 * 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.

어떻게 인터페이스 언어를 변경합니까?
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 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).

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.

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.

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

 * 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. 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.
 * If your wikis are already established and you want to switch to a single sign-on, you can use the extension. 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.

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


 * Git 설치
 * 미디어위키 소스 코드 깃 "클론"으로 다운받기.
 * 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.' );

…is the Help namespace empty?
The Help namespace currently ships in a blank state. It's up to you how much or how little help you give to your site visitors and whether this relates to other aspects of your site. Obviously you can easily link your visitors to help resources elsewhere.

We don't currently have a clean, internationalised set of help pages under a free license. However, if you want to copy in some help information onto your site, about how to use a wiki (a MediaWiki powered wiki) you are free to copy the from this wiki. This set of pages have been deliberately created for this purpose, with wiki-neutral information, and no license restrictions. See Project:PD help. More help is available at the Meta-Wiki MediaWiki Handbook.

…are some of my images not showing up after an upgrade?
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.

왜 모든 PNG 파일은 썸네일 이미지로 변환되지 않는가?
PHP 최신 버전부터, 달라진 MimeMagic.php 기능을 통해 파일의 MIME 타입을 자동감지합니다. 그런데 이 기능이 PNG 파일을 탐지하지 못합니다. 인터넷으로 mime_content_type png 을 검색해보기 바랍니다. PHP 자체에서 그 문제를 수정해주어야 합니다. 아마도 magic.mime 파일을 수정해야 할 것입니다.

…can't I download MediaWiki {{#expr:{{MW stable branch number}}+.01}}?
MediaWiki 0000 is in a development state at present, and has not been packaged into a general release. The code can be downloaded from Git if desired. Or, if you want the latest development version packaged as an archive, get it at (GitHub).

왜 작동하지않죠? 위키백과에선 작동한단 말이에요!
Wikipedia and other Wikimedia web sites use the current version of the code in development; at present, this is MediaWiki, pulled from the current development branch. Coupled with the use of several extensions, this means that functionality between these wikis and your particular setup may differ.


 * To obtain the current development code, read Download from Git
 * To check what version a Wikimedia wiki is running, as well as what extensions are installed, visit the Special:Version page for that wiki
 * You may also be missing several that are installed on Wikipedia, see #Templates imported from other wikis (such as Wikipedia) don't work for me

…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.

…do I get logged out constantly?
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. 여기서 이유를 알수 있다:

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.

is also useful.

…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.

Where do I get the spam blacklist from and how do I install it?
The spam blacklist extension can be found in Git, just like all other officially supported extensions. For installation and configuration instructions, consult the file and  over here.

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.

Nine times out of ten this is because you didn't clear your cache. The simple test for this is to request a page that hasn't been requested before. Select the part of the URL in the address bar that contains the page title (e.g. Main_Page). Twiddle your fingers on the keyboard for a while, hit enter. Check if the problem is on that page too.

MediaWiki uses both a server-side cache and a client-side cache, so clearing your browser cache is often not enough. See the relevant entry above for more details.

Here are some other things to check:
 * Were you editing the right file? Try inserting some garbage into the file you edited, does it break anything?
 * A great debugging tool in this case is to create a file called phpinfo.php, containing only . Upload it into your web directory and invoke it with your browser. Check the document root and the path to php.ini.
 * Were you editing the right part of the file? Did you create a duplicate entry in php.ini? Add new settings to the end of LocalSettings.php, not to the beginning.
 * If you created a .htaccess, are you sure AllowOverrides is on? Ask your hosting provider.
