Re: [MediaWiki-l] 16.5 to 19.1 install issue update.php adds only 1 table

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Sum of hit counts in a namespace?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] $wgNoincludableNamespaces

I'm not clear on what the problem is. $wgNonincludableNamespaces prevents pages in a namespace from being included in other pages as if they were templates. It doesn't stop you from linking to those pages. ___ MediaWiki-l mailing list
