[13:09:33] !createpage | Ocsi [13:09:33] --mwbot-- Ocsi: The best way to create a new wiki page is to create a link to the not-yet-existing page on some page that does exist, save it, and then click the new red link and create the page. Alternatively, you can enter the name of the page in the search box and hit go and then create the page. For extensions that help with creating pages, see [13:10:31] Ocsi: third option, if you are a wiki administrator, it to install the extension CreateBox and use that. [13:10:43] Ocsi: MediaWiki could to better by default in this area. [13:10:57] thx [13:14:37] siebrand: it's arguable wether that would be desirable. having no obvious way of creating a new page is of course confusing - but it does force people to get thinking the wiki way, i.e. in terms of *linked* pages [13:15:03] Duesentrieb: it's a huge barrier to entry.

[13:20:21] i'd say it very much depends on the type of wiki you have [13:20:23] Ocsi: not because it is you, but because I am busy at work :) [13:21:11] Duesentrieb: as it is apparently a very common use case, the base product should have facilities for it (IMO at least0 [13:25:06] 03(mod) Cannot upload files at JAWP for internal error - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16464 +comment (10carkuni) [13:29:48] siebrand: i don't care so much if it's in core or not. i just don't want to have it on wikipedia :)( [13:30:07] Duesentrieb: you do.

[19:37:39] Meridiuz: by default? [19:38:04] yeah, I created a custom namespace which is only visible and editable for a special usergroup [19:38:28] the other users can't/shouldn't be able to see the pages, but the edits with parts of the text still show up on the Recent Changes page [19:38:36] per-namespace viewing restrictions are not supported, because mediawiki was absolutely not designed for that [19:38:56] because there are over a dozen possible ways to circumvent such restrictions [19:39:16] also for normal pages? [19:39:18] s/per-namespace/non-global/ ... we don't support per-page, per-category, etc. restrictions either [19:39:22] it's either all or nothing [19:39:38] what you COULD do, however, is set up a private wiki for such content, and share the user table [19:39:40] Skizzerz: per-namespace is by far the most common intermediary [19:39:44] no need to be overly pedantic [19:39:47] :) [19:39:57] !cms | Meridiuz [19:39:57] --mwbot-- Meridiuz: Wikis are designed for openness, to be readable and editable by all. If you want a forum, a blog, a web authoring toolkit or corporate content management system, perhaps don't use wiki software. There is a nice overview of free tools available at including the possibility to try each system. For was to restrict access in MediaWiki, see !access. [19:40:14] although, there are ways to do it [19:40:16] !lockdown [19:40:16] --mwbot-- Lockdown is an extension for preventing read or write access by namespace and limiting access to special pages. For more information, see < http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lockdown >. For general information on preventing access to your wiki, see < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access >. [19:40:17] Meridiuz: if you want, you use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SpecialRecentChangesQuery to restrict this :) [19:40:18] yeah, I know about that [19:40:29] + can [19:40:29] thanks ialex :) [19:40:31] can include phpbb in Wiki? like her debianforum.de [19:40:40] Meridiuz: check out the Lockdown extension too [19:40:47] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Security_issues_with_authorization_extensions <-- read this too [19:40:47] I did [19:40:54] but I thought the Lockdown was too much restriction [19:41:19] all I needed was a section to add a little more info which can't be read by players but can be used by moderators to keep track on the players [19:42:38] The most secure way to do that would be to create an extension [19:42:54] no.. the most secure way to do that would be to set up a second wiki for the moderators [19:43:35] yeah...you could be right [19:43:36] you can use the same installation even, just set different config (limit read, account creation, edit) [19:43:42] I didn't know I could use the same userbase [19:43:51] standby for another mwbot spam [19:43:53] !farm [19:43:53] --mwbot-- To run multiple wikis, you can simply install MediaWiki in different folders, with different databases or in one with database prefixes. You can also have multiple wikis using a single installation: and . [19:43:59] and they can interlink with the other wiki [19:44:17] be wary of cross-wiki rights leaks, I've seen it happen before [19:44:32] that is, be sure to test that only moderators (sysops?) and not regular users have access to the other wiki [19:44:45] right [19:44:47] (only applies to wikis sharing user databases( [19:45:43] well, if it's going to be a completely separate wiki, could make a separate user database [19:45:50] there are only like 10 mods anyway [19:46:10] Splarka: the most secure way would be to mail the information to all the moderaters [19:46:21] mail?? [19:46:23] mail can fall astray [19:46:38] Prodego: even the wikimedia foundation trusts secure wikis, when they are secure [19:46:42] dudes, I need some balance between security and functionality here [19:47:18] if it's fully secured, but not functional then it's as useless as a non-secure version [19:47:20] Prodego: http://arbcom.en.wikipedia.org/ is probably full of fun checkuser data [19:48:04] thanks for your help guys! [19:58:30] can include another page and in main page ? for.example have blog in /blog and will have blog front page in Main Page. is that possible? [19:59:18] !colon [19:59:18] --mwbot-- To escape the usual function of [[Image:]] links, [[Category:]] links, [[en:Interlanguage]] links, and create an inline simple link, prefix a colon. [[:Image:Wiki.png]], [[:Category:Cats]], [[:en:Foobar]]. A colon can also be used to transclude an article in the main namespace, eg {{:Main_Page}}. [19:59:57] Splarka: is that for me Boss ? :) [20:00:15] the last sentence is [20:00:38] ok any manual page or how to? [20:01:12] see various pages for Template help, everything is the same [20:01:23] except that you must specify the namespace if it isn't in Template: namespace [20:01:40] {{foo}} == {{Template:foo}} gets [[Template:Foo]] [20:01:46] {{User:Foo}} gets [[User:Foo]] [20:01:52] {{:Foo}} gets [[Foo]] [20:03:15] Splarka: i have forum with phpbb in /forum and the wiki in /wiki will dispaly the phpbb frontpage in /wiki Main Page text like her debianforum.de [20:03:50] oh, you want to transclude from another _wiki_? [20:04:03] (or even, from a non wiki?) [20:04:30] Splarka: i have wiki and forum installed [20:04:51] just will have the forum fraontpage in wiki frontpage [20:05:10] well, then you'll need some weird extension to include arbitrary html in a wiki page I think [20:05:24] unless the forum outputs RSS (several RSS extensions) [20:05:59] the debianforum.de is my goal [20:06:45] if not then move i the wiki to root directory :) [20:08:47] S-i-A, that site uses a different software [20:08:56] MoinMoin Wiki != MediaWiki [20:09:38] i think he just means he wants a site like that [20:09:42] lch: moin moin wiki ?? [20:09:49] is that software? [20:09:53] yes [20:10:07] also, what Splarka told you is probably not what you meant [20:10:24] yksinaisyyteni: yes i will create like that [20:10:26] onoes splarka! wrong again!

[21:11:52] im her to know :) [21:12:21] 400 would be ideal, i suppose. [21:12:25] if that works. [21:12:34] you have to chmod before and after each edit, though [21:12:44] ok i do [21:12:55] 400 is good if php runs under your user id. [21:13:09] 640 is good if php runs under a different id, but in the same group.

[22:15:27] S-i-A: 400 means it's read only. you can no longer edit. the wiki should work fine though. [22:15:49] Duesentrieb_: ues but some time must i edit. [22:16:05] S-i-A: with 600, the file could potentially be changed from the web. it's usually a good idea not to have things writable by the web process - if that's possible. [22:16:07] yes thank u [22:16:35] S-i-A: if you have to edit, just chmod it. some editors like vim also allow you to override the write protection on-the-fly. [22:17:17] yes i do so, i change the chmod back to 400 after editing ;) [22:18:48] right. [22:19:08] S-i-A: make sure all other php files are set to 400 too [22:19:20] which file to? [22:20:14] all the files in wiki directory? [22:20:28] yes. only the image dir should remain writable. [22:21:03] yes i know [22:21:10] thanks master :) [22:21:15] :P [22:22:01] the skins/ to ?

[22:24:22] S-i-A: the directories to 500 [22:24:24] Duesentrieb_: we'll do that, but need confirmation about the room first (or a denial) so we have something to announce. [22:24:29] they need to be executable [22:24:38] yes u r right [22:24:41] siebrand: just give what/when/where, say if you want to come (even if you can't), say waht you want to talk about...
