[MediaWiki-l] Consistent section and item numbering while documenting policies and procedures

Hi, all, I'm documenting policies and procedures using Mediawiki. Generally, when documenting procedures using something like Word, you'd have a consistent numbering system such as: 1.0 Purpose 2.0 Scope 3.0 Responsibility 3.1 General 3.1.1 Whatever goes here. ...and so on... I'm using the Magic

Re: [MediaWiki-l] MediaWiki Security and Maintenance Releases: 1.19.24, 1.23.9, and 1.24.2

I'm with you, Martin. I pulled down the 1.23.8 tarball and there is no /tests folder within it. Therefore, even if I'd installed from source as of 1.23.8, I'd be stuck trying to apply the latest patch. Ultimately I hand-edited the patch file to remove all the diffs relating to the tests folder..

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Adding HTML and JS to wiki pages

Isn't it a very significant security risk to allow users to write arbitrary javascript that could get shown to every other wiki user who visits the site? If this is a public wiki we're talking about that allows free registration, this would be something you simply cannot allow. Larry

When you say Category page, do you actually mean the built-in Mediawiki category page or do you mean a page that is using a SMW query to list all pages in a category? If the latter, try appending action=purge to the querystring and see if that clears it up. Larry Silverman Chief Technology

[MediaWiki-l] Validating wiki text before saving

Some of my wiki users seem to like to paste full wiki URLs into pages rather than use wiki link markup. Is there an extension that can throw a validation error and prevent the saving of a page if the submitted text contains a certain pattern, like the hostname of the wiki? Thanks. ___
