[Mediawiki-l] Dependence on meta.mediawiki.org

Hi, although it does not happen too often, it seems like at the moment, access to my website is slowed down considerably because of meta.mediawiki.org. Is there a workaround where I don't have to access meta.mediawiki.org. I think it was trying to access bullet.gif and stuff like that? PM Poon

[Mediawiki-l] Slow connection

Hi, I did a new skin and I found out that IE displays the default setting before displaying the layout based on the IEFixes for the skin. This is logical but it makes the display rather awkward for a brief moment. Is it possible to have a conditional statement such that the corresponding default po

[Mediawiki-l] Breaking lines in an array

Hi, I wanted to break the footer so that the copyright message is in its own line rather than flowing over 2 lines. I did the following but it didn't work: $footerlinks = array( 'lastmod', 'viewcount', 'numberofwatchingusers', 'credits', 'privacy', 'disclaimer', 'about', 't
