Loading Recent Changes brings CPU to 100% on server

Hello,

I am still having this problem, although I believe that it is specific
to the settings of MediaWiki, seeing that I have other MediaWiki
installations (also 1.7.1) on the same server, and they do not have
this problem.

When a user loads the recent changes page on my wiki, the CPU
utilization on my server goes up to 99 to 100% for a single Apache
process, and that process stays alive for *exactly* 60 seconds (which
also happens to be the cutoff time for PHP scripts on my server).
This only happens *after* the recent changes page has been sent to the
browser, and the connection has been closed (I have KeepAlive off).

I have no idea what is going on, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kasimir Gabert

Ifeq parserfunction not interpreting MAGIC WORDS?

Hello there, this is the second time i post this question on this
mailinglist, because i haven't had any reactions the previous time and
in the meanwhile i still could not find a solution myself, so here we
go again (for a last attempt, don't worry :

I am trying to show different images, dependent on some conditions:

Scenario 1: if the current page(name) is the same as a given pagename,
image_1.gif is shown.
Scenario 2: if the current page(name) is not the same as the given pagename, the
existence of the given pagename is checked:
       Scenario 2a: if the given pagename exists, image_2a.gif is shown.
       Scenario 2b: if the given pagename does not exist, image_2b.gif is shown.

So i wrote:
 {{if:
     {{ifeq:
{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}} | {{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/subpage | true
     }}
 | [[Image = image_1.gif]]
 | {{ifexist:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/subpage
              | [[Image = image_2a.gif]]
              | [[Image = image_2b.gif]]
    }}
 }}

The problem is that image_1.gif does not appear, even if
{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}} has the same value as
{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/subpage (e.g. image_2a.gif appears then
instead, because the given pagename

Connect to the process with gdb and see what it's doing.

Excerpts - how to do them?

Hi, I would like to be able to include/transclude an excerpt from a page.
Can anyone suggest how to do this with MediaWiki?

I have been thinking about several things:
- set up a separate name space like Talk, and associate and place each
  excerpt as a subpage to a page's excerpt page
 - transclude a section, sort of like how Edit of a section works
 - add new tags and hooks
 - use noinclude and includeonly in a clever way using macros

 Has anyone done something like this, and care to share some experiences?

 Thanks

Makesysop.php help

Hi,
I got my MediaWiki installation working (1.71)... now I just need to add
the extension Makesysop.php

How do I set it so that the following happens:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=
&page=

What I wanted to happen is for user rights to be displayed as:
Testuser changed group membership for Testuser1 <at> testwiki1 from (none) to
sysop, bureaucrat, checkuser, developer
Testuser changed group membership for Anewuser from sysop to sysop,
bureaucrat

I assume I need to install MediaWiki several times... this correct??

Thanks
Bekki

Re: Excerpts - how to do them?

Well, I solved it myself - wasn't that difficult using the ParserExtensions 
like if, ifeq.
Here is an example that allows inclusion using different tags.

On a page called Test
<includeonly>
When including this page, this text is always included.
{{#ifeq:{{{tag}}}|foo| FOOTEXT HERE This text is included if this page is 
included with the tag set to foo}}
{{#ifeq:{{{tag}}}|bar| BARTEXT HERE If tag is set to bar, then this text is 
included}}
{{#if:{{{tag}}}| ALL TAGS This text is included if the tag is set to any 
value except being blank | If not tagged, this text is shown.}}
<br>
This text is always included.
</includeonly>
<noinclude>
This is the normal text that is shown on the regular page. It is not 
included anywhere.
</noinclude>
*EOF*

To include/trigger all the different variations on another page :
{{:Test|tag=foo}}
or
{{Test|tag=bar}}
or
{{Test|nonexistant}}
or just
{{Test}}

Have you copied the automatically generated localsettings.php file from
the config directory to the wiki root?

MediaWiki-Based Issue Tracker

Hi, I've used quite a few wikis in the past but am new to MediaWiki. Any help
you can give me with my question would be greatly appreciated.

I am migrating my MoinMoin wiki to MediaWiki.  The main reason that I use the
MoinMoin wiki is because I have thrown together a rudimentary issue tracker
within it.  Here's basically how it works:

* Each "ticket" is represented by a single wiki page that uses a
particular prefix in its name
* Each ticket contains tags that denote its status, which is something like
this:
    * StatusOpen
    * StatusClosed
    * StatusPendingDefect
* The main page for this issue tracker, which is itself a wiki page, contains
macros that allow me to display a "dashboard" of every single ticket based on
its status.  Here's basically what it looks like:

    Browse Issues
    =============

    Open Issues
    -----------
    1. IssueTracker/This Is Issue A
    2. IssueTracker/This Is Issue B

    Pending Defect
    --------------
    1. IssueTracker/This is yet another issue

Re: MediaWiki-Based Issue Tracker

Hi Tom,

  I  guess  the Semantic MediaWiki extensions might be able to realise
  what  you  have  in mind. You would add a [[Category:Issue]] to each
  page    and   a   [[status:=open]]   or   [[status:=pending]]   or
  [[status:=closed]]. On the main page you can
    <ask>[[Category:Issue]][[status:=open]]</ask>
  to get a list of open issues.

  Come  to  http://www.ontoworld.org  and  take  a  look  a  a running
  MediaWiki with Semantic MediaWiki installed.

Kind regards,

  Max Völkel
