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.

 * Found out that you have to put $wgDefaultSkin = "cologneblue"; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php then you can disable changing it by also adding $wgAllowUserSkin = false; below that. --Bigone5500 22:18, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

I would like to have a link to an external file (i.e. word, pdf, ppt), which is on my local disk, without importing it into mediawiki.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

How can i edit multiple words in a section to bold while editing any page through the editing toolbar that we see on the top. When i select multiple words in a section and click on bold in the toolbar it only converts the first word selected to bold. Do not know how to convert many words to bold at a time using the toolbar
