Hello Folks,
We are using Mediawiki 1.15 running on LAMP infrastructure on our
corporate LAN. We have some training material in audio/video format
(MP4) which we would like to integrate into wiki pages so that users
can watch/listen those files from the wiki pages. How should we go
about doing
I too would be interested in knowing if somehow we can get rid (hide)
'subst:' keyword. Most of the regular users get stumped when I tell them to
use subst:template-name after picking up a template from the drop down
list of FCKEditor.
Any way to make it more user friendly?
Platonides,
since FCKEditor could automagically prepend subst: to some templates.
That's great as I exactly want this same behaviour. Can you tell us
what modifications are to be made? Let's say I have templates named
Stardard and EvalForm and I want that any time a user selects
these templates
Thanks guys. I think that should do the trick!

There are some third-party extensions that provide some of these features,
but they are all insecure and easily cracked.
Just out of curiosity can you point out which extensions are you talking
about?
Good news: You can approximate some of these things with the FlaggedRevs

Hello Folks,
I am using MW 1.15.5. By default the following groups are present on my Wiki
(Special:ListGroupRights):
all, Users, Autoconfirmed users, Bots, Administrators, Bureaucrats
Now I would like to create a new group called managers and add few users
(for example john, tim and rick) to
so they'll already have all the rights that users have without you
defining it.
Great! Thanks for the insight.

Recently I upgraded to MediaWiki 1.15 from 1.12 and now I see a new Special

with, and their meaning. is not very self explanatory.

Why do you want to exclude redirects from Special:AllPages?
Partly because most of the user are getting confused if they see the old

Can't you restore the mediawiki database to the date just before the
vandalization happened? I guess this assumes that any legitimate edits that
were made during the period when the vandalization took place will get lost
too.

Hi,
I want to disable the RecentChanges special page on my Mediawiki 1.16
version even for user that are logged in. I have tried two different
methods:
1. Using Lockdown extension I added the following in my LocalSettings.php
require_once( $IP/extensions/Lockdown/Lockdown.php );
$wgSpecialPageLockdown['Recentchanges'] = array('sysop');
Thanks Benjamin! That did the trick.

If you are talking about mediawiki then usually you have a Log in/create

existing pages).
Does that help?

Yes you are right. However, I would really prefer to have a common solution
