This list is for the Mediawiki software itself and has nothing to do with Wiki-Site.com operations. You will have to reach out to Wiki-Site.com for your answers. I know that’s not a great answer here but we unfortunately can’t help. -George Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 19, 2023, at 9:50

On first inspection - I think that something went wrong with your database, and its lost some data. The software can connect to it, but the MediaWiki data doesn't seem to be in it. Check your MySQL database and see if it got corrupted or dropped data... On Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 5:03 PM, Jack

Re: [Mediawiki-l] How can I specify 'locked to editing' blocks of pages?

2008-12-15 Thread George Herbert
Transcluded pages, and locked transclusion sources, do this just fine. If you control the server you can set up a group security mechanism and put the auto-generated pages in their own namespace, which only a few users can edit, so you don't even have to mess with per-page permission stuff...
