Re: Linking to a subject inside a page

This only works if you have a table of contents on the page and, of course,
can be problematic if someone changes the name of the heading, but if you
are willing to accept these limitations:

The table of contents will automatically create heading tags on a page for
reference.  These tags will be in the form of underscore replacing spaces in
headings.  For example

== Test Heading ==

Would create a tag:

Test_Heading

So on a page where you have more than 4 headings and/or forced creation of a
TOC named Test Page,  you could create a reference as

[[Test Page#Test_Heading]]

This is pretty crude, but could work

Totally untrue, it does work on pages without any table of contents ;-)

Re: Problem with custom namespace: Using special characters

Sorry I made a typo: they asked us to use &amp; for & (not $amp;, which was the typo I made). The directions for
using &amp; can be found here:
  http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Custom_namespaces
  So that would be Me&amp;You

  I've tried filling in the name as [[MediaWiki:Nstab-Me&You]], but it didnt work. In summary again, when
defining the namespace in the following way:
  Me&amp;You - it comes out OK everywhere except the database table (mw_page) puts the namespace number as 0
(and not as 100+ as it should be)
  Me&You: works ok everywhere, except the "article" tab comes out messed up the N-stab stuff.

  thanks!

That _should_ work, but hasn't been tested.

Any such direction is *wildly* incorrect and has no basis in fact.
Definitely do not do that, as it will *not* work.

You don't actually need to convert the spaces to underscores yourself; writing

[[Test Page#Test Heading]]

will also work (and the same's true for other special characters; no
need to worry about those).

Loss of session data, Still!

Hello again folks,

I'm still fighting a battle with lost session data. 

It seems like I'm getting closer--I have my session.save_path in a custom
php.ini file pointing correctly to a directory I have full access too, and I
even see files being written there, but they are empty (0 bytes). The end
result is I'm still not able to edit pages while logged in. Mediawiki
continues to report a loss of the session data. Another php site we have on
the same server space does show session data in it's session file, so I
think it's something with the mediawiki configuration.

The files being written are in the format
"sess_lotsofrandomnumbersandletters" ,  and permissions are set to -re------
(600).  Is that how they should look?

Complete symptoms: I can only edit files if I'm NOT logged in. I can only
upload files if I am logged in. I can only stay logged in while changing
pages if I check the "Remember me on this computer" box while logging in. In
other words, in appears that no session data is being saved on the server,
and/or being retrieved, in spite of the session files being written in the
directory specified.

What else can I be missing that would be causing a continuous loss of
session data?

This is a fresh install of version 1.10.0 running under PHP Version
5.1.0RC1, The Server API is listed as CGI, if I am stating that correctly,
and this is all running on Linux. I'm using a custom php.ini file I can teak
to override the defaults. If it helps to figure out the issue, here is a

Re: Automatically linking wiki words

Another consideration is meaning based upon context in which word/phrases
appear, for example tree:bark vs. dog:bark or drug:crack vs. drywall:crack.

As others have noted, this is a sophisticated capability to implement.  For
similar project need, my team ended up with a commercial search product
capable of performing semantic-based 'entity extraction'.

Re: Automatically linking wiki words

> Is there a way to automatically link the wiki words in an article? i.e. suppose in an article, there may be
words like "open source" or "software" for which articles are there in the wiki. Currently we have to
manually link them like [[open source]] or [[software]]. But most of the cases, the author may not be
knowing whether that article exists or not, or there may be case inconsistencies. Is it possible to
automatically link the words or phrases that has an entry in the page table as titles?

How would it know whether to link "open source" to [[open source]] or
[[open]] [[source]]?
