== Need help on adjusting the portlets to the top on monobook template == |
|||
--[[User:Dr DBW|<span style="color:darkgreen; font-weight: bold;">Dr DBW</span>]] | [[User talk:Dr DBW|<span style="color:darkgreen; font-weight: bold;">talk</span>]] 23:19, 18 February 2009 (UTC)* MediaWiki version: 1.13.2 |
|||
* PHP version: 5.2.5 |
|||
* MySQL version: 5.0.51 |
|||
* URL: on localhost so no url |
|||
Im using the monobook template and i want to customize it a little. What ive done in first place is to change the logo. My new logo is only 60px in height. Ive changed the logo img entry and the logo href entry in the main.css and adjusted the height there from 155px (default) to 60px. I expected that the portlets will come up a bit then, nearer to the top of the page. But nothing happens. The portlets are not moving to the top. Ive searched the css then for a option that may be necessary to change, but ive found nothing. |
|||
So my question: What should i do if i want the first portlet in my list to begin e.g. 20 px below the logo image? |
|||
Thanks in advance, |
|||

== Templates, Where are files located and what do contents look like, e.g. language used? == |

I am trying to customize an installation of MediaWiki and have run into problems. I can not find where I should place template files and what the contents of template files are to create custom pages. Essentially, I want to create a scaffold to help avoid the problems that can happen when there are blank pages. I want to give users a format for the material I want them to enter. For example, I want them to enter their topic, a brief summary of the topic, have a large edit box for them to enter their article text, have the ability to enter a list of examples, enter a list of related topics and finally to enter references or links to further reading. How can I create a template to do this and where does it go in the directory structure? What language do I use for the template text? Any examples would be very helpful! |
|||
Thank you, Steve |

Can I force every user to use the same template when "creating a new page"? The Template I want is very simple, with no parameters involved. I hope this template can be applied automatically without manually typing {{}} by users. Thank you! |

: I guess you are looking for something like the mechanism we use on this page, cf. [http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Project:Support_desk/Sections/Formatting&action=edit&editintro=Template:Questions-preload&preload=Template:Signature-preload§ion=new this URL], which adds an "editintro" and preloads one template. Well, there are some neat extensions at [[:Category:Page creation extensions]], namely [[Extension:InputBox]]. I don't know about any really ''forcing'' solution offhand, though (users are still able to create pages through "normal" <tt>…&action=edit</tt> URLs, or by manually removing template code from edit pages before saving). --[[User:Bdk|<span style="color:#116611">:bdk:</span>]] 02:38, 28 December 2008 (UTC) |

:::Well, on this support desk page we only use preloaded text for adding new sections to an already existing page; but we have an extra manual page for page creations, and that is what you want, I guess: [[Manual:Creating pages with preloaded text]]; it's linked from [[Extension:InputBox]] :-) |

::::I tried a extension called NewArticleTemplate. It works just like you mentioned about preload page. My problem now is that the format I created in preload page is totally lost, because I use FCKeditor, a WYSIWYG one, as a default editor. For example, the double equal sign "== text ==" in wikitext is considered "normal equal sign" in FCKEditor. Do you have experience in this sort of stuff? —[[User:Coulomb|Coulomb]] 11:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC) |

:::::Sorry for the late reply. Hmm, I don't know [[Extension:NewArticleTemplates]] in detail. Your question sounds as if you have to find your way through the "template jungle" first ;-) Do you still have problems with getting started? If yes, it would be best to describe how your preloaded template should look like (is it an infobox or such?). --[[User:Bdk|<span style="color:#116611">:bdk:</span>]] 16:13, 9 January 2009 (UTC) |

I am trying to make an infobox template for a local wiki about PC game modifications, where people can enter several parameters such as Screenshot and Leader, but if they don't, then those fields should not appear in the infobox at all. My code at the moment is: |
|||
<pre>{| class="infobox" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="float:right; margin:5px 0 5px 5px; border:2px solid grey; font-size: 85%;" |
|||

|- |
|||
! Mod Leader: |

| {{#if: | | {{{leader}}}}} |
|||
|}</pre> |
|||
However, at present, the infobox still shows empty parameters; I want it to skip those altogether. The template is at http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Template:Mod. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

: I have changed it on your wiki and added those templates [[Template:!]] and [[Template:!-]] to your wiki. Seems to work, but test it. I also changed the word "Platform" in your guide to lowercase "platform", because you programmed the template with lowercase (so uppercase did not work). Perhaps have a look on the pages where the template is used if the usage is correctly done with lowercase. -- JörgM [[Special:Contributions/84.156.191.245|84.156.191.245]] 21:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC) |

== Mediawiki FCKEditor overwrites my <h2> headers with ==header== wiki markup == |
|||
MediaWiki 1.13.2 |
|||
PHP 5.2.6 (apache2handler) |
|||
MySQL 5.0.51b-log |
|||
I am using the FCKEditor extension. |
|||
* URL: Intranet only so not shareable |
|||
I have pages that have table headers with HTML \<\h\2\> markup, for example: |
|||
<h2 style="margin:0; background:#ddcef2; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid #afa3bf; text-align:center; color:#000; padding:0.8em 0.4em;">Welcome to [[Wiki:Introduction|WIKI]]</h2> |
|||
When I edit this page, the FCKEditor shows up, allowing me to edit in WYSIWYG mode or swict to Wikitext mode. |
|||
If I switch the page to Wikitext mode, all my \<\h\2\> headers like the above get REPLACED with wiki table header markup (the equals signs), so the above header becomes the following: |
|||
<pre>== Welcome to [[Wiki:Introduction|WIKI]] ==</pre> |
|||
This is really messing up my pages. Please can you advise if I can keep my \<\h\2\> and prevent this automagical overwriting with "==" wiki markup as soon as I switch to wikitext mode? |
|||
Many thanks |

== (RESOLVED) Defining a custom edit section == |
|||
Is there any way (possibly with an extension) to define custom edit sections in an article? I mean, getting the same functionality you get automatically when you place a header; an edit link that lets you edit a specific section of the wiki text, without showing the rest. In particular, I'm interested in getting an edit link for a a single table row (where the edit link would be in the final cell of the row. Is something like this possible? Thanks.

: I don't know of a way to force an edit link without using a header. However, on our wiki, we had a similar need for row-by-row edit links and were able to use the exisitng header functionality to do so (see the example below). Keep in mind however, that since these are actual headers, we usucually used the <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> since the table of contents would include the content of the first sell of each table row. Hope that helps. [[Special:Contributions/63.192.83.15|63.192.83.15]] 00:05, 5 February 2009 (UTC) |

Hello, |
|||
I am actually having a couple of problems. The first problem is when I compare our mediawiki to another, for templates, when building a new page, I am not able to select the template button and then click manual for a list of templates. |
|||
The second problem is style sheets are getting messed up by the FCK Editor... whenever I go from the Wiki Editor to just plain text mode, the style tags dissapear. The only work around is to put in the style tag and save directly without previewing, but if somebody goes to edit, they dissapear again. |
|||
The FCK editor is version FCKeditor extension (version fckeditor/mw-extension $Rev$ 2007) by Meta |
|||
The other wiki I compare it with has more hooks then ours but most notably they are using version FCKeditor (version fckeditor/mw-extension $Rev$ 2008) by Wikia... is that the reason for both of our problems by chance? |

Hello, |
|||
I have a problem with pages which do not show up on category page as expected. |
|||
I have created a template "Hinweis/Überarbeitung notwendig" (transl. Notice/Rework needed) which belongs to the category "Überarbeitung notwendig" (transl. Rework needed). This template is included in some pages which DO need rework. Now, I expect these pages to show up on the category page. |
|||
But only a few do. |
|||
The template looks like this: |
|||
<nowiki><div style="border:black solid 1px;background-color:#FF9933;padding:5px;margin-bottom:20px;"> |
|||
'''Hinweis:'''<br/> |
|||
Diese Seite benötigt vermutlich eine Überarbeitung. Die Diskussion dazu sollten auf der [[Diskussion:{{{Seite}}}|Diskussions-Seite]] geführt werden. Ist die Überarbeitung erfolgt bzw. als unnötigt erachtet worden, sollte dieser Hinweis entfernt werden. |
|||

Is there a way to change every user's default skin ''without'' access to the PHP files? I don't think there is. |

:You could try playing around with your [http://editthis.info/ctss/MediaWiki:Monobook.css MediaWiki:Monobook.css] and with current MediaWiki's [http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikistandard.css wikistandard.css].

Using MediaWiki for our intranet everything was absolutely fine but after a recent Windows update and reboot any page containing quote marks has gone wrong. There are literally tens of quote marks where there should just be single ones so viewing pages look terrible. We have made no changes to any configuration files, php or Apache and approximately 500 pages are affected. Is there a quick way to remedy this so that the quotes are handled correctly? |

== Intra-wiki link anchors don't work in tables == |

|||
* PHP version: 5.2.6 |

* MySQL version: 4.1.22 |
|||
* URL: http://aiblog.nl/index.php?title=Competences |
|||
Intra-wiki links using an #-anchor will normally link you to the indicated site AND to the specific location within the site where the #-anchor is located. However, if I make such intra-wiki #-anchor links within TABLES, the link only leads to the appropriate page, BUT NOT to the #-anchor location. |
|||
For example: in the table on [http://aiblog.nl/index.php?title=Competences] I want every cell to refer to its correlating cell in the table on [http://aiblog.nl/index.php?title=CompetencesCourses] (and vice versa). However, I always end up at the TOP OF THE PAGE, and not at the specific anchor-location. |
|||
It would be nice if you could fix this, since it would make Mediawiki even more usable than it already is! |
|||

I would like to format the sidebar using WIKI syntax elements, as described at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Navigation_bar#Allow_wiki_markup_.28PHP.29, but the instructions there refer to |

* MediaWiki < 1.13.2 and to |

* MediaWiki 1.13.2, |
|||
but not to the version which is provided to us here (1.6.8). |
|||
I looked into the file skins/Monobook.php of our installation, hoping that it contains the same lines to replace as specified for MediaWiki 1.13.2, but they are not identical, the lines of the Monobook.php file of version MediaWiki 1.13.2 and our version 1.6.8 with regard to the configuration of the sidebar. So I do not dare to replace the sidebar lines in that file with the lines that are specified at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Navigation_bar#Allow_wiki_markup_.28PHP.29 for version 1.13.2. |

I am using a DPL to control some content on a page, providing a listing of other pages as follows: |
|||
<DPL> |
|||
category=*Capture Originating Requirements |
|||
category = Lessons Learned |
|||
count= |
|||
addpagecounter=true |
|||
ordermethod=counter |
|||
order=descending |
|||
</DPL> |
|||
However, I recently discovered how to effectively use templates across this site that I'm building, so I converted this listing to the following so that I could use the listing to generate a list of pages on any of our main page categories: |
|||
<DPL> |
|||
category=*<nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> |
|||
category = Lessons Learned |
|||
count= |
|||
addpagecounter=true |
|||
ordermethod=counter |
|||
order=descending |
|||
</DPL> |
|||
However, when I did this, the more generic apporach does not pick up on sub-category pages. When I use the absolute reference, I get a listing with all sub-categories, but using this relative reference only yields items that are specifically tagged with that category, and fails to provide any sub-categories. |
|||
Is this a problem or a feature? Any work arounds? |

Hello there |

Mr. Sven Hagge from the german Wikimedia Support Team referred to you. |

He said you could help. That would be awesome! |
|||
What we wanna do is '''using your Wiki for an Open Source film script'''. |
|||
A project in pretty the same area like MediaWiki:))) |
|||
Therefore some '''templates in WYSIWYG-outfit would be extremely helpful''' for the script-like look and feel from scratch as well as for organizational reasons for the later workflow. |
|||
'''0. Basics:''' |
|||
- Font: Courier New |
|||
- basic margins: at 3,0 cm (both sides) |
|||
'''1. Scene Headers:''' |
|||
- in CAPITAL letters; e.g. 4. HARRY JUMPS |
|||
- numbered |
|||
'''2. Dialogue:''' |
|||
- Tabstop at 4,0 cm |
|||
- margin right side of 4,0 cm |
|||
'''3. Dialog description:''' |
|||
- in brackets; e.g. (loudly crying) |
|||
- Tabstop at 4,5 cm |
|||
- margin right side of 4,5cm |
|||
'''4. Name of protagonist:''' |
|||
- Tabstop 5,5 cm |
|||
- CAPITAL letters; e.g. VIKTORIA |
|||
'''5. Scene fadings:''' |
|||
- Tabstop at 16,0 cm |
|||
- CAPITAL letters |
|||
That´s it! |
|||
Would U support our project by delivering these templates? |
|||
Would be great. |
|||
ThanX, Stephan |

I have a page for documentation of an API. It is fairly large and the product owner doesn't want it broken up into multiple pages. The TOC is huge and causes formatting issues since it displays on the right side. Is there a way to force it to be located in a specific subsection and if not, have it initially minimized? |

Hello! In addition to my question in the system section I am looking for a solution for the following problem: Incorporated in a template, I want to give a certain link to make it possible for the users of the page to compare the actual version of the page with a certain old version. I thought of something like |
|||
<tt><nowiki>{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|diff={{REVISIONID}}&oldid=4457}}</nowiki></tt> |
|||
The problem is the oldid parameter. For easy use in the template it would be great if this parameter could be added by MW itself. Of course, it could be used with a parameter like |
|||
<tt><nowiki>{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|diff={{REVISIONID}}&oldid={{{1}}}}}}</nowiki></tt> |
|||
but the oldid would have still to be determined by the person who inserts the template into a page. As those persons are not very familiar with MediaWiki insides (and are not really interested in), something like |
|||
<tt><nowiki>{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|diff={{REVISIONID}}&oldid={{last revisionid prior to certain date}}}}</nowiki></tt> |
|||
e.g. <tt><nowiki>{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|diff={{REVISIONID}}&oldid={{last revisionid prior to 20090201}}}}</nowiki></tt> |
|||
(where that last revisionid is determined by MW) would be somehow more convenient for them, as the date is given by a certain timeline of updating the whole contents of the site to the (internal) public. Any chance for that? -- JörgM [[Special:Contributions/84.156.130.207|84.156.130.207]] 08:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC) |

The <nowiki><includeonly><includeonly> and <noinclude></noinclude></nowiki> which are added on the used template generate a white line-space in it's place. How can i keep it from generating that white space in it's place? (Besides it generating a line-space, it works as it should.) |
|||
Example: http://sleepingfox.nl/wiki/index.php/Adamant_Warhammer (Directly under the colorized paragraph) |
|||
When using firebug (firefox), you can see the white space is a <nowiki><p></nowiki>, and by messing around with the placement of <nowiki><includeonly></nowiki> I found out that this was causing it. |
|||
Thanks in advance for any help you might offer me. |

I have tried reading the FAQ's but am still unsure of how to properly edit the sidebar. I want to remove the search and toolbox, leaving only the navigation section. I tried editing the Mediawiki:Sidebar page and removed everything except for |
|||
* navigation |

** mainpage|mainpage-description |
|||
But the search and toolbox sections still remain. I am not sure what I need to do. I am guessing that there is a php or js file somewhere that I need to edit. |
|||
Can you please tell me where I can find that file or what I need to do to successfully remove the search and toolbox sections from the sidebar? |

Thankyou |

:: I am afraid that this is not a bug, but a feature. Remember, MediaWiki is intended for Wikimedia projects where you usually need a search bar and the toolbox, so it probably it is not intended to remove both from the sidebar.

To force a table of contents on the page, even if there are less than 4 headlines on it, use <nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki> (maybe with adding <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> on the place where you want to have your TOCs).

@ Wikademia the template displays differently than at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagina_Group |

Same with: http://wikademia.org/Sulphur_Springs_Municipal_Airport - The main template there should be smaller, have a border, and on the right side of the screen. |

Hello, |
|||
i developed a skin for MediaWiki based on the YAML Framework. |
|||
How is it possible to get this checked (css id's and classes) by MediaWiki experts? |
|||
At the moment the 1st version is getting checked by some yaml experts, but still some verifying of MediaWiki experts' needed. |
|||
And how is it possible to deploy this as an official skin option into further MediaWiki branches?? |
|||
Kind Regards |

Thanks, but is there a specific place in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] to add that? I put it right at the botton of the code, and it hasn't changed the color of the links. —[[User:SilverBlade784|SilverBlade784]] 19:15, 3 May 2009 (UTC) |

: Sorry, it seems this is caused by the Wikia wiki farm and it's usage of skins. If I am right you are using a skin named Monaco, and a dark variant of it. There's something about this at http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Customizing_Monaco/Dark_skin, and I think you have to customize your page http://conduit.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monaco.css instead of http://conduit.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css. You should delete the color code for "a" on Common.css before adding it to Monaco.css. On the bottom of the page would be the best, but there are a lot of definitions for links on this page so you probably have to play a lot to find the right way. Maybe you better change just the existing color definitions for links. Color for internal links is A0E0FF, so check all the respective selectors where this colour is used. |

: By the way, "silver" was just the colour I used to check the behaviour on my wiki. Which colour is appropriate on your wiki pages you have to find out yourself. -- JörgM [[Special:Contributions/84.156.128.106|84.156.128.106]] 20:09, 4 May 2009 (UTC) |

Hi, |

I've copied some pages from wikipedia to the local mediawiki at our school, as examples of other schools' wiki pages for our students to ponder. But all of them use Templates, and those Templates in turn include other Templates... surely there is a way to download and install the Templates just as I downloaded and installed the mediawiki software itself? But I haven't been able to discover it. Can someone please point me to it? Thanks in advance. |

: No, templates are usually simple MediaWiki pages like any standard article at Wikipedia, so you usually can copy them like a simple page. There's a special namespace for them, in English "Template:", but it's also possible to embed almost any other MediaWiki page as a template with <nowiki>{{pagename}}</nowiki> resp. <nowiki>{{:pagename}}</nowiki> if it's a page from the main namespace (see [[Help:Templates]] for a first overview). But beware: Simple templates can be complete, but complex templates, as you mentioned in your question, refer also often to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] for Cascading Style Sheets or need [[Extension:ParserFunctions]] or something like that. Best is: Try to find out who made or worked on the templates you need and ask him/her for help, because there is no easy standard procedure – unfortunately. -- JörgM [[Special:Contributions/84.156.143.47|84.156.143.47]] 09:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC) |

Well... thanks I guess. No thanks I'm sure! It's just that this looks like a very messy job at this point as there are quite a few Templates involved. I hope that someone is looking into these 2nd generational problems with the wiki. Thanks again. |

: Basically it's a table with different cells. The cells are filled with other tables resp. templates containing tables. (That's an old HTML trick for columns and rows on a webpage, as far as HTML can't do it by default.) The frames are defined by css, probably at [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], I think, but this can be done in the table's code as well, though it's blowing out the code. Below is a simple (but not elegant) example which at least works on one webpage (just all the text is omitted). |

Revision as of 16:44, 27 May 2009
How Do I change the link on successful login to another page other than main?
- MediaWiki version: 1.13.1
- PHP version: 5.2.6 (apache2handler)
- MySQL version: 5.0.67-community-nt
- URL: private wiki on a usb key
I've installed the Mowes mediawiki package to test/learn and play with it.
What I want to be able to do is have a main page and after successful login instead of the link pointing back to the main page have it point to another page. I understand that Special pages are not editable like the rest.
Thanks Alan —Dragos 21:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- Probably it's the system message MediaWiki:Returnto which you have to customize, accessible also via Special:AllMessages. It does not pointing back to the main page, but to the last page you have seen before logging in. Be careful, I don't know, if this message is just used after login. In doubt don't replace the link variable, just add the page you want to have a link to. -- JörgM 84.156.191.245 18:06, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- In 1.15rc1 there's a new configuration setting $wgRedirectOnLogin, which I think will fit to this need. See http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/REL1_15_0RC1/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES -- JörgM 84.156.181.134 10:10, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
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

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.

formatting PHP/CSS code
- MediaWiki version: 1.13
- PHP version: latest
- MySQL version: latest
- URL: http://www.bandwiki.net/
I want to edit my wiki's code so that I can place a banner down the right side of the page. I am not PHP proficient, and can't seem to figure out which mediawiki document to edit.
What I image in either I need to place a table with a fixed with (allowing for the size of the banner to its right) on the page, or modifying the div's so that the content of each page would only have a width of x00px.
Also wondering, if there would be anyway for me to use our main sites (ASP/SQL) banner rotation script to run within the mediawiki page. This probably can be down using inline-frames; right?

- Haven't tried this yet, but how about a try with Extension:DynamicSkin, for example? If I understand it's usage right, you could add templates and scripts to your site without changing code, just by using standard wiki markup on a standard wiki page. But of course you would have to play with it to find the right way. -- JörgM 84.156.161.134 08:52, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Page is not displayed
- MediaWiki version: 1.14.0
- PHP version: 5.2.8
- MySQL version: 5.0.67
- URL: http://www.freeallegiance.org/FAW/index.php/Enforcement_FAQ (protected; this page is editable and also affected but you need an account to edit pages.)
The page is simply not rendered at all. But the problem is pretty weird.
Here's an outline of the page:
- What's new
- Pook's Rules of Conduct for Dummies
- Players' FAQ
- Boots
- Bans
- Issues management
- Commanders' FAQ
- Boot On Sight
- Acceptance of Players
- Newbie boot protection
- Lobby booting
- Commanders' rights
- Veteran Conduct
- Newbie Servers
- Veteran Players & New Accounts
- Directives to @Alleg
- Balanced teams and accepting newbies
- Misc
Sections 1 to 4.2 render just fine. Sections 1 to 4.3 give a blank page. Sections 4.1 to 6.2 render just fine, though! There are longer pages on the wiki, and pages with more templates. There currenly is some trouble with the database; however, this seems unrelated.
- Hm. Difficult. But there are three things that let me (! I may be wrong, very wrong!) think about database, not formatting:
- All three pages "Enforcement FAQ", "Enforcement FAQ/Sanbox" and "Enforcement FAQ/Sandbox" are affected.
- I can't see ANY revisions of "Enforcement FAQ", "Enforcement FAQ/Sanbox" and "Enforcement FAQ/Sandbox", not only the actual revisions.
- Texts/codes of the actual revisions of "Enforcement FAQ" and "Enforcement FAQ/Sandbox" (the third I haven't tested) render fine when copying it to a page at my 1.13.4 wiki (except for the templates I don't have).
- By the way, the headline "What's new" is missing in the actual source code of "Enforcement FAQ".
- I don't know what to do, but I would at least try the following, if there are no better suggestions:
- Saving the texts of all the three pages. (At least those parts of the text which you want to use for these FAQ.)
- Deleting all three pages. (Best if they could be deleted from the database as well, but this needs command line access to the wiki for its maintenance tools, I think. Never have done this. Or use of Extension:SpecialDeleteOldRevisions2 or something like that. Or killing it directly in the database ;-).)
- Building the page new, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph.
- But of course, there may be better suggestions. And if it's a problem with the database, there might be more problems, perhaps not detected yet. As it's probably no formatting problem, you might also ask in another section of the support desk (system or database). -- JörgM 84.156.129.191 12:54, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I have a problem with formatting the text. Probably this is not a problem at all but I didn't find the answer on your website.

—213.184.254.169 12:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- Does probably not work just with wiki markup, but list tags are also allowed in MediaWiki (see meta:Help:HTML in wikitext). Your example works with the following code:
<ol> <li>Item1</li> <li>Item2</li> <li>Item3</li> <source lang="text"> some code here </source> <li>Item4</li> </ol>
- which results in the following list:
- Item1
- Item2
- Item3
- Item4
some code here
- or – less elegant – with combining:
#Item1 #Item2 #Item3 <source lang="text"> some code here </source> #<li value="4">Item4</li> #Item5
- which results in the following list:
- Item1
- Item2
- Item3
some code here
- Item4
- Item5
- Indent for source code can be done by adding : in front of the line:
#Item1 #Item2 #Item3 ::<source lang="text"> some code here </source> #<li value="4">Item4</li> #Item5
- which results in the following list:
- Item1
- Item2
- Item3
some code here
- Item4
- Item5

code and source tag in articles

Hi, I'm trying to insert so code sample into my articles. Unfortunatly, it seems that the code, source and poem tags do not work at all. For example, if I try to insert some CSS sample, the # becomes a list. And I loose of course the standard coding incrementation. I saw multiple mediawiki implementations working with these tags , so I wonder what I do (or did) wrong.
Thanks for your help.

- The "code" tag is not meant to be used for multi-line code examples. You may either use "pre" instead, or use "source" after installing Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi. For "poem" you should install Extension:Poem. – rotemliss – Talk 14:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
What is the "proper" way to modify the toc (table of contents) box to add html to the right of it?

I love the toc (Automatically generated Table of Contents). I would like to customize my mediawiki so that anytime the toc is displayed, a div and some javascript is added after it (so that the div is displayed to the right of the toc). I'm sure a lot of people have done this already. What would be the proper way to do this? Should I write an extension? Or should I just append the code that displays the toc? I want to do this as quick and easy as possilble while ensuring that when I upgrade mediawiki in the future I won't have to re do my customization.
Thanks in advance,

Problem with ordered list and an indented table
- MediaWiki version: 1.11.0
- PHP version: 5.2.9-2 (cgi-fcgi)
- MySQL version: 5.0.24a-community-nt
- URL: http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?title=Remotely_Setting_the_Ramp_Rate_for_an_X10_Scene_Address
1) Cannot resume numbering of an ordered list (using # character at beginnig of line), after a table. Is there a way to do this without using HTML?
2) Content after the second indented table is not returning the left margin. List item numbers 4,5 and 6 should be flush left with items 1,2 and 3. The table between list items 4 and 5 should be flush with the first two tables. After each table, I restart list item numbering with the HTML ol tag. As you can see, this seems to work for the first part of the page, but after the second table everything gets indented further. NOTE: the large table on this page is actually 3 tables embedded in another 3-cell table.
Can anyone help me fix this?"
—198.173.162.2 17:11, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- There's no wikimarkup way of starting an ordered list at a number other than 1; as you've found, the solution is to use the <ol> tag directly. Try adding a linebreak between the end of the table and the <ol start=4>; that should reset the indentation. Happy‑melon 21:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- I would suggest: Use ONE ordered list with HTML tags from the beginning and don't indent the tables (they are indented by the list - at least with my FF 1.5). The following code (just simplified)
<ol> <li>Text {| border="1" cellpadding="2" | Text | Text | Text | Text | Text |} <li>Text <li>Text {| border="0" cellpadding="2" width="50%" | {| border="1" cellpadding="0" width="100%" ! Text ! Text |- | Text | Text |- | Text | Text |} | {| border="1" cellpadding="0" width="100%" ! Text ! Text |- | Text | Text |- | Text | Text |} | {| border="1" cellpadding="0" width="100%" valign="top" ! Text ! Text |- | Text | Text |- | Text | Text |} |} <li>Text {| border="1" cellpadding="2" | Text | Text | Text | Text | Text |} <li>Text <li>Text </ol>
- gives the following result:
- Text
Text Text Text Text Text - Text
- Text
Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text - Text
Text Text Text Text Text - Text
- Text
- If you want to indent the tables more than this, add something like style="margin-left: XXpx;" to the tables' heads.

- You can make your own editnotices for any namespace: MediaWiki:Editnotice-0 for the mainspace, MediaWiki:Editnotice-2 for userspace, etc. So you just need to put a copy of (or a template containing, make sure it's protected!) the guidlines, in the editnotice for each even-numbered namespace.

—84.27.52.84 14:14, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- The background colour here on mediawiki.org is set in our MediaWiki:Common.css file, which applies CSS to all wiki pages. For the Manual: namespace, we have
/* NS Manual + Manual_talk (light bluish violet) */
.ns-100 #content, .ns-101 #content { background: #f3f3ff; }
.ns-100 div.thumb, .ns-101 div.thumb { border-color: #f3f3ff; }
- You may need to look up the syntax of CSS in order to understand what this code is doing. Hope this helps, Happy‑melon 16:02, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
