Licence in Talk-pages
Are the Talk-pages also non-GFDL since they are not included in the distribution ? // Rogper 20:59, 31 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Talk pages are GFDL. MediaWiki is GPL though. I don't think this is related to them not being included. Accorded to Brion's latest edit, the reason help pages are not included is just because there is no clean, generic, internationalized help page set. Angela 06:18, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Offline Version of Wiki?
I happen to be in a situation where Internet access is very limited. Are there any current or future projects in the works to create DVD versions of the Wiki? If so, where and how can they be purchased. jpaisley@gmail.com

Re-arranging headings
I've split the "Customization" heading into "Configuration" and "More complex customization", because it was disproportionately large, and mixed issues of built-in customization facilities with issues of actually changing core pieces of the code. Of course, people asking questions won't necessarily know which is which, but I figure people answering can always move the section. However, if you disagree, feel free to revert the change but make sure you include the answer regarding LocalSettings.php/$wgSitename which was introduced in the same edit. - IMSoP 22:27, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

pre, without the monotype or table
Is there a way to be able to markup a selection of text, as with PRE and /PRE, but without having the text become monotype and in a table like that? .. just have it appear as normal text? -- Sy / sysy.homeip.net


 * I'm not entirely sure what it is that you want to happen, but I think you may want the and  tags; they just suppress the wiki's parser from processing everything between them (I used it just then). So as you know: the text between  and  isn't put "in a table", it's just a paragraph with a border round it (OK, it's a subtle difference), and is done using CSS. See Help:Editing for more information on what markup is available. - IMSoP 17:42, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Short Urls
Why does wikipedia have urls like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

while my metawiki has urls like this: http://james.westcoastbmx.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page


 * The Wikimedia sites use an Apache configuration to "rewrite" the URL. See Rewrite rules .--Zigger 01:19, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)
