[MediaWiki-l] Re: Wiki-Site.com down

This list is for the Mediawiki software itself and has nothing to do with Wiki-Site.com operations. You will have to reach out to Wiki-Site.com for your answers. I know that’s not a great answer here but we unfortunately can’t help. -George Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 19, 2023, at 9:50 A

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Mediawiki as an Enterprise wiki

There is some access control possibility, by giving certain namespaces or articles specific group requirements to view. Only grant privileged users those groups needed to read or edit the secure docs. Alternatively, create two parallel wikis, one of which is open internal access having the non-sec

Re: [Mediawiki-l] FW: Issue with Wiki site and databases?

On first inspection - I think that something went wrong with your database, and its lost some data. The software can connect to it, but the MediaWiki data doesn't seem to be in it. Check your MySQL database and see if it got corrupted or dropped data... On Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 5:03 PM, Jack S

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Email configuration

To explain briefly - MediaWiki uses what's known as a mail server - either a local or remote server which will accept server to server email connections. This is completely unlike Gmail or Hotmail or those things - those are mail clients you use, to access someone else's server. Your ISP would h

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Benefits of using wiki in a corporate environment-how to convience?

On the followup question - yes. You need to have the landing pad "main page" visible to anyone, but you can create a group memberships structure with a custom group that keeps anyone from accessing content unless you approve them. That isn't super-secure, but gets you reasonably far towards a sec

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Restricting user rights

Not without some effort - MediaWiki's access control stuff leaves something to be desired for some apps. However, one can cheat. Create a namespace for the summary - similar to Talk - and give the summary-only users edit permissions to the summary (or alternately, summary and talk) namespaces but

Re: [Mediawiki-l] How can I specify 'locked to editing' blocks of pages?

Transcluded pages, and locked transclusion sources, do this just fine. If you control the server you can set up a group security mechanism and put the auto-generated pages in their own namespace, which only a few users can edit, so you don't even have to mess with per-page permission stuff... O
