The problem is solved by a reconfiguration of confirmEdit as described on mediawiki extension page. Rgds Jan I @Jan: I quite agree that a general solution is better; this sure soundslike the "directory path" problem as described on the extension page. My policy on new sysops has been, that any committer who asks (or has problems) can be one; we trust committers not to let their use of karma exceed their fu. (In addition, I have appointed several non-committers who have demonstrated their care and caring to my satisfaction.) Maybe, if things (hopefully!) settle down, I can get around to posting some draft policy statements on the wiki, for review. {more}On 6 January 2013 03:10, Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <and...@pitonyak.orgwrote:I am unable to duplicate the problem.... Primarily because it looks likewhen I edit a page, I am not given this page. Well, I did only edit my user home page since I don't really want to be messing with public pages and adding arbitrary links even for testing. I am hesitant to create a test user because I expect that I cannot then remove that test user.... @Andrew: Your suspicions are correct about deleting a test user.However, users with no active edits (including test dummies) should be removed after a year, by Jan's maintenance script. Therefore, feel free to create a test user which will not be a sysop, and hence may show problems that your regular user (which /is/ a sysop) won't show. If you're through with the test user, simply delete any edits or pages it made, and wait for it to go away. /tj/or try with the new user "jantest" password "hej", which I created today to test it. jan I.On 01/05/2013 06:31 PM, Regina Henschel wrote: Hi Jan,I can still not enter a link on my page http://wiki.openoffice.org/** wiki/User:Regina/MYDrafts5<htt**p://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/** User:Regina/MYDrafts5<http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Regina/MYDrafts5>.I want to add a link in the section "References".

It does not work. Do I need some special rights? Please help, it is frustrating. Kind regards Regina janI schrieb: Hmm.I cannot really judge if there is a system problem, or you are just all chasing cats (and the system works). So I assume there is no system problem, and this is just a case of wild cats :-) If I am wrong then please say so. FYI: Both rbircher and imacat have the same access as I to svn and mwiki, allowing them to do changes, in case it is needed. With regard to outages, imacat and I receive mail from nagios approx. 2 minutes after mwiki has general response times longer than 10 sec. Infra also receives the mail but are quite busy at the moment. With imacat in taiwan and me in spain, we should have a good coverage, even when I sleep :-) have a nice day/evening jan I.

I saw at least one photo where I had to guess, because the photo was incomplete. More specifically, It was a partial body shot with nohead, or tail. I guessed based on the hair/fur that it was a cat. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/******AndrewMacro.odt<http://www.pitonyak.org/****AndrewMacro.odt> <http://www.**pitonyak.org/**AndrewMacro.odt<http://www.pitonyak.org/**AndrewMacro.odt> **> <http://www.**pitonyak.org/**AndrewMacro.odt<http://pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt> <http://www.**pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt<http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt>Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php--Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/****AndrewMacro.odt<http://www.pitonyak.org/**AndrewMacro.odt> <http://www.**pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt<http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt> Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php
