 check out [[Add a Wiki]] and [[How do tags work]].  I jiggered it a bit, let me know what u think, thx --[[User:Rathbone|Ray]] 02:44, 27 Jan 2006 (EST)
-John, I've got a little problem with the "tag" and "category" template.  It's a trailing space issue -- when you use the template within a body of text, it somehow adds a trailing space inside the template results and worse, requires that you don't add a trailing space afterwards, else it messes up the output.  Any ideas?

 Hello John,  I am toying with the mark-up for wikinodes that are not there and TedErnst asked me a good question.  Can we currently sort on a no for URL_wikinode?  Meaning if we do what I am thinking about (e.g. [[The_league_of_scarybirds]] with the - WikiNode) does that damage being able to find those?

 == List of wikis by size ==
 Is it possible to introduce another categorization criteria, by size (conservative pages count)?

 Could you extract a list of all Mediawiki URLs, something like "select old_text from text where old_text LIKE "%Recentchanges%"; hmm,or make a mysql dump file and grep it from there? If we had a list with all Special:Statistics URLs of the listed Mediawikis that would be the key to make automated statistics. [[User:Mutante|Mutante]] 16:02, 27 Feb 2006 (EST)

 Hi John,  Sean over at Meatball pointed us in this direction: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_main_page.3F How do I change the main page] for whenever you get around to it.  Best, [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>   (uhhh, wait, that didn't tell us anything... )
 :I'm pretty sure that what that means is that (and an admin will have to do this as the page is protected) the page [[MediaWiki:Mainpage]] just needs to edited to say the name of another page. [[User:158.135.241.100|158.135.241.100]] 02:43, 1 Mar 2006 (EST)

 == upgrading ==
 [[Sean Fennel]] has been discussing the merits of an upgrade [http://www.wikiindex.com/User_talk:Sean_Fennel#RC_patrol here].  How does it look from your end? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 00:11, 12 Apr 2006 (EDT)
 We are in the planning stage for an upgrade from MediaWiki 1.4.5 to 1.6.3 which is the stable current version. If 1.7.X becomes the stable version before we upgrade we will use that version. This promises to be a difficult upgrade for the following reasons: (1) the database schema changes significantly and that nearly always creates problems, (2) a variety of modifications that we have made to enable things like editable menus will have to be redone, and (3) the pretty URL hack may break the whole upgrade process. We have an unused wiki to practice on to refine the process and I hope to have all the wikis in our stable upgraded by 15 May 2006 barring any really tough problems. I tell you all this so that you can understand my reluctance to introduce any more variables into this process before we upgrade. Let us see what the status of the RSS feeds is after the upgrade and then we can decide what to do. [[User:John Stanton|John Stanton]]

 : May require some tinkering to work inside another template. It is meant to get an external logo and point it to a wiki page. I think you reversed the usage trying to get a local wiki image and point to an external site. Anyhow play with it and see if you can put it to good use. It could serve as a model for your usage. Another advantage to getting the external Logo is that you can always tell when the wiki is dead :-) [[User:John Stanton|John Stanton]] 18:56, 12 May 2006 (EDT)

 Hi John,  check [http://www.wikiindex.com/WikiIndex:Community_talk#rel_nofollow_on_links_to_wikis this] out.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
 :: The NoFollow setting is a default anti-spam setting in mediawiki and essentially makes spam postings a useless exercise because it makes links on the wiki "no counters" for Google ranking (and other indexers). There should be a policy decision made as to its use or non-use! [[User:John Stanton|John]] 11:59, 19 May 2006 (EDT)

 John,, could you please comment on [[User talk:Sean Fennel#monobook.js]]?  I don't really know much about this, other than that it could help us automate repetitive tass a bit more.  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:25, 28 May 2006 (EDT)

+John, I've just installed mediawiki at http://chicagocoop.net/wiki and I'd like to have the urls show up like they do here, http://chicagocoop.net/wiki/PageName without the index.php and such.  How do I do that?  Thanks!
