What's the point?
[edit]- Is this duplication of Wikipedia really needed? Max Semenik 11:30, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- Was it even imported properly from Wikipedia?
- (Hint: the answer to each question is the same)
- EDIT: it appears that this isn't a direct duplication of Wikipedia, but it is still not needed nonetheless (and has an overly-Windows focus right now) Skizzerz 15:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia explains the process whereas more than how to do something. Some portions of this would not be allowed on wikipedia. For editors such as yourselves, this maybe very elementary and unneeded, but for newbie editors like me, this information is very valuable. Adamtheclown 23:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- +1 Adamtheclown. Plus there are other issues involved with chmod like the stuff Nemo is bringing up. Leucosticte (talk) 12:56, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

- Idea for this article is good but it needs some MediaWiki related info, such as preferred modes for some directories (uploads?). wargo (talk) 09:55, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Appropriate command for MediaWiki
[edit]As disgusting as it is, some crappy web hosts on shared servers require people to set ugly permissions on all their executables, such as 755 or even 777. Can we suggest a sensible command to set all files to their original permissions in core, or to whatever other permissions one is forced to, without touching stuff that shouldn't be touched? Something like
find core -type f ! -perm 644 -exec chmod 644 {} +
but a bit less invasive I guess. Nemo 11:43, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Assuming you have full control over your wiki's server (e.g. you own the server), what permissions should be set on the images folder? Condorcent (talk) 10:28, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
