Adding default content to new wiki pages

I've mod'd this text hack from WikiMedia so that new pages in MediaWiki 1.6.10 have default content. I've wikified my notes for adding default content to new pages. joat: 07:15:18 5 Aug 2007

Magic quotes and MediaWiki

I went to upgrade the wiki so that I could play with some of the newer extensions. Problem was, the old trick of adding "set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);" to the index file wasn't working. However, thanks to this page (sorry, I don't read Russian), I have the new work-around.For those interested, add the following as the second line in index.php: "ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime',0);". You may need to add it to the index.php in the config directory too. If this helps, please pass it on. joat: 20:53:56 21 Jul 2007

Probes

[*sigh*] Spammers have discovered the comment function in the wiki (I'm receiving anonymous test posts). Hopefully they've discovered that there's no autopost capability. joat: 09:33:48 28 Apr 2007

Wiki comments

For those interested, the wiki now has a comments function, thanks to Haloscan and kekePower's work on "getting Haloscan to work in MediaWiki" (I did not use the template though). It'll take a bit, but I'll add the comments function to each of the pages in the wiki (a set of tags needs to be added to the bottom of each page or section). Update: I've posted my version of adding Haloscan comments to the wiki. joat: 08:55:35 24 Feb 2007

Wiki page counts

The page count for the Linux and SageTV page has passed all other pages except for the glossary and is slowly gaining on that. Initially the page count for the glossary was a bit of a suprise but, after thinking about it, probably remains in the lead because when I first built the glossary, I included a number of job-related terms describing the various sexual fetishes. Believe me, when your any of your bosses are women, it's much less embarassing to provide a link to a clinical description than it is to try and explain the term in person. In short, sex is #1 with television a rapidly closing second. (heh) joat: 19:52:55 16 Feb 2007
