Adding a box above the edit page


Hi there, I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

I admin a small mediawiki and am trying to learn the ropes. I
want to add a template above the edit page, sort of like the blue box
here: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=BUTTS&action=edit 

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Boilerplate text on pages like that is stored in the system messages. 
If you click on Special pages, then System messages, it'll take you to 
(in the case of mediawiki.org):

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages

Search that page for the text you're interested in (e.g. search for 
"Attention visitors") and you'll see the source of the message.  Click 
on the name of the message in the left column ("newarticletext") and 
copy what you want.

Open the same page on your wiki and paste the content.

What is the title that's coming up?  It might give us a hint as to the
problem.

EAN-code generator for Mediawiki

Hi all,

I've tried Google but couldn't find any EAN-generator extension for 
Mediawiki. Does anyone know of any such extension, or any hint about how 
to achieve the functionality of generating the EAN code from a number.

TIA

Re: EAN-code generator for Mediawiki

Hi!I have made a quick programming session and developed exactly such an extension for you. You (and of
course everybody else) can download it and read more about it (as well as see its results) at
http://www.chaosreligion.com/wtl/index.php5?title=EAN
or at its MediaWiki page:http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EAN

greetings,
Markus

Internal error when creating accounts by e-mail with $wgMinimalPasswordLength > 0

Hi,

We are running MediaWiki 1.12. We can cause an "Internal Error" by using 
the following recipe.

1. Set $wgMinimalPasswordLength to 6.
2. Browse (as bureaucrat and sysop) to 
http://example.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup
3. Enter a new username, e.g. "UserFoo".
4. Leave both password fields blank.
5. Enter a valid e-mail address in the e-mail field.
6. Click "by e-mail".

Expected behavior:

1. Get a page titled "Password sent".
2. Temporary password shows up at entered e-mail.

Actual behavior:

1. Get a page titled "Internal Error" and the following content:
 >
> #0 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(338): User->setPassword('-')
> #1 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(320):
LoginForm->initUser(Object(User), false)
> #2 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(117): LoginForm->addNewAccountInternal()
> #3 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(96): LoginForm->addNewAccountMailPassword()
> #4 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(17): LoginForm->execute()
> #5 [internal function]: wfSpecialUserlogin(NULL, Object(SpecialPage))
> #6 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialPage.php(678):
