No, remote loading is discouraged. If you're really keen, you can set up a mirror of it and use that.

No. Wikimedia is the name of a group of wiki-based open-content projects managed by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. MediaWiki is the software developed to meet the needs of these projects. edit] I tried that but it didn't work I had a problem, I came to this page and it told me how to fix it. But it didn't work, the problem is still there! 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.

There are two timezone-related settings: $wgLocaltimezone and $wgLocalTZoffset. Set both in LocalSettings.php. $wgLocaltimezone is used for formatting the timezone in signatures, and should be set to the locale name, for example "Europe/Berlin". $wgLocalTZoffset sets the default user preference the number of hours your local time differs from server time, and is used for timestamps seen in recent changes and history views.

Set $wgReadOnlyFile in LocalSettings.php to the name of a file, then put the reason for read-only mode inside the file. The contents of the file will be displayed to anyone trying to edit the wiki. Since 1.5 you can set $wgReadOnly to a string describing the reason for read-only mode, instead of creating a file. (Usual wiki markup is allowed in this string).

You can hide the Powered by MediaWiki image by adding the following to your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css: If you want to remove it completely, you could alter /skins/MonoBook.

Yes, MediaWiki can be installed multiple times in different directories using either the same database with a different set of table prefixes (configurable upon install) or using different databases altogether. Additionally, you may want to make some settings common for all the installations, and have a central place where changes to these can be made. Since the configuration file (LocalSettings.

First you should try a PHP cache engine such as eAccelerator or APC. It will save the parsed PHP scripts and enhance performance a lot (this is something you should use anyway on any PHP installation with non-trivial traffic). Zend Platform also contains a bytecode cache, however its "dynamic content caching" is not supported in MediaWiki at the current time. Memcached will provide some performance benefit, especially for heavily viewed sites.

Under 1.5, to disable all view top tabs, create a new skin according to the instructions in MediaWiki look and feel#Skin and name this MonoBookNoViews. Set this as the default theme. Logged in users will need to change their default theme to see the tabs to edit pages, however. You will need to remove the section of code in the MonoBookNoViews.php file which generates the views (top tabs).

There is a project at mw:Project:PD help that is creating a self-contained help system, with links to an experimental pywikipedia bot that can mirror that. Mediawiki has problems with autostarting sessions. Check your php.ini (you can run phpinfo() to find where it is located) and look for session.auto_start. It should be '0'. Also, session.use_cookies should be '1'. If you don't have access to php.ini and you're using Apache try to create a .

We have a universal version number for a release. This is set in the module Bio::Root::Version which is universally applied to every module which inherits from Bio::Root::RootI. To check the version, just use the following one liner: perl -MBio::Root::Version -e 'print $Bio::Root::Version::VERSION,"\n"' Now when we use version tuples that are not just decimal numbers, Perl converts these silently to Unicode representations.

The latest stable release of MediaWiki can be downloaded from download.wikimedia.org or sourceforge.net. Files are supplied in a .tar.gz archive. MediaWiki can also be obtained direct from our Subversion repository. See also Download

Installing MediaWiki takes between 10 and 30 minutes, and involves uploading/copying files, and running the installer script to configure the software.

This is not known, but old versions of ALSA have caused plenty of crashes, and have caused plenty of wrongly attributed crash-reports. edit] I'm often getting drop-outs (stuttering sound) under heavy system load. How can I prevent this? Increase the device buffer_size in your ~/.asoundrc (Alsa config file) to 32768 or 65536. If the file .asoundrc does not exists on your system, you can simply create it, as described here.

on my local mediawiki 1.5.6 installation I've set GroupPermissions so that only logged in Users can edit (works well). Now I want to set a few (really just < 10) pages to be editable by anonymous. I tried hacks in index.php and Title.php, without success. It' exactly the feature wgWhitelistEdit had done till version 1.4 - but this doesn't work in 1.5 - please help.

If you don't have access to a shell/command line (usually the case with third party hosting services) then you may find you can use Martin Geisler's phpShell software to achieve the desired result (unless SAFE MODE is not set for php). Installation problems are sometimes weird and hard to diagnose.

Installation - ImageMagick - Download from http://www.imagemagick.org/download/www/binary-releases.html - or look at http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ - DLL-version ImageMagick-6.2.6-1-Q8-windows-dll.exe - e.g. install in e:\usr\bin\sysexec (do not use any space in the install path) (no 'Program Files' allowed nor 'progra~1') - set PATH to e:\usr\bin\sysexec (normally, this is automatically done during installation) Environment - LocalSettings.
