Re: Embedding a default template on each image description page

It's a more extreme solution, but using Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic
Forms will give you exactly what you're looking for. Semantic Forms has a
GUI by which you create the basic templates, assign metadata properties, and
build user input forms for data.  There's even a java popup to enable the
image upload, the ability to prescribe page names based on template
parameter inputs, and pre-loading for any additional text you want standard
on each image page....all with forms you design yourself.

Semantic

What is Semantic Wiki? It somehow parses the language to create articles 
or links automatically or some such?

Hi Steve. I assume you are talking about Semantic MediaWiki. It is hard
for me to explain it by heart, so I asked my friend Google who came up
with a web page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki appears
to be a great entry point for understandable information on Semantic
MediaWiki. It also contains web links for further reading.

Cheers! Siebrand

Re: Semantic

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_wiki#Example answers the question 
but doesn't make the point, at least not to me. I don't see either any 
advantage or justification.

Re: Semantic

Semantic MediaWiki is an extension to MediaWiki that essentially allows a
user to tag certain information as metadata for the page.  But then you can
define how that metadata relates to other page metadata.  It's kind of like
a category tag, but much more structured.  It's almost like being able to
define ''HOW'' or ''WHAT KIND'' of link exists between a page and the
information on the page.  Of course, the big pay-off is being able to sort
and sift by that information using a simple query.  When used together with
the parser functions extensions, it's very, very powerful.

Best way of changing a template

After the catastrophic attempt this morning; what is the best way of
changing a template and form for a semantic wiki?
I thought that simply removing the original template and renaming the
new one to the old name, and updating data would do the trick but
apparently not. I'm missing something.

Regards,

Martin S

Re: how modify taxobox template

Hi,

I think step 6 means that AFTER you have made successfully changes to your test
Taxbox template in your own useraccount in the User: namespace you copy the text
of the modified template back to the official template in the Template namespace
to make the new modified version available for the whole Wikipedia. 
So step 6 is basically the reverse of step 1.

Cheers,
Gu

Permissions error uploading image


   [this is a re-post;  don't think the original went out (we've been having 
mal probs.)]

   This used to be working, but has broken recently, either though my moving
the install around or through upgrading to 1.13.0.

   I try to do an upload and I get:

Could not rename file "/tmp/phpVxOSnK" to
"public/f/fd/Framework-SLOC-OOCalc.png".

   I've ensured that 'images' and it's subdirs are all writeable by the server.

   I've pinned this down to ./includes/filerepo/FSRepo.php line 338, but am
struggling to diagnose any further (my PHP is limited).  The following edit
provides no clues:

$status->error( 'filerenameerror', $srcPath, '['.getcwd()."|$IP]".$dstPath );

   As I get "[$IP|]public/f/fd/Framework-SLOC-OOCalc.png" in the target
filename.  Shouldn't getcwd() work?  Shouldn't $IP evaluate?

   Existing images do come up OK AFAICS.

   Any ideas?

   I also tried creating 'images/public', and symlinking images /to/ public,
but to no avail.

Re: how modify taxobox template

well, the problem is that I can not modify original template, so I
don't understand who I sent code to modify original template..

Re: how modify taxobox template

These steps describe the "theoretical" way to change the template - in practice
the template on Wikipedia is "permanently protected from editing, as it is a
heavily used or visible template" and it can only be edited by an administrator.
So you can't do step 6 yourself, you have to ask an administrator to do it.

But you need to discuss your proposed changes first on the talk page here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Taxobox
and if there is consensus an administrator will make the actual modifications.
