At some point two pages have been created on our wiki with a leading '/'. The
mistake was noticed and the page either deleted or renamed - at least a
correctly named page to replace each is existing. However, something has been

A Manual is in preparation, and to avoid redlinks on the Contents page,
we considered creating all pages, adding "ToDo" on the currently empty
ones. The idea was that the author could simply have a DPL statement on
his user page to see which pages still required content. Unfortunately,

I'm trying to construct a query that will list a page with all its sub-pages,
except those with language codes. It seemed to me that it should be possible

We use the Liquid Threads extension. It would be very useful to be able to
set up an RSS or Atom feed to pick up new threads. It's obviously not
practical to put a watch on every Talk page. Does anyone have a solution to
this?

Our wiki uses Mediawiki 1.14, soon to be updated to 1.16. From the day we
updated to 1.14 the RSS feed has been problematic, often sending as many as 30

While considering what we can do to make translated pages more accessible we
come up against the fact that by default page names remain in English, with
only the langcode appended. This makes things difficult for, for instance,
readers of Cyrillic or Chinese scripts.
One experiment has been to

As our wiki grows I become more aware that any major re-organisation needs

Categories have not been widely (or correctly) used on our wiki, and I want to

first category that I wanted, but I'm puzzled about the category links created
on the pages. The wiki states:
