mediawiki issues

well, this is odd.  I have Mediawiki version 1.13.2, PHP version 5.2.6 (cgi-fcgi), and MySQL version
5.0.67-community-log installed, and no matter what anyone on my board does, we cannot get HTML tables to
work properly.

my board is located at http://wiki.mobianlegends.com/ and an example of this type of issue can be found at
http://wiki.mobianlegends.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Country and
http://wiki.mobianlegends.com/wiki/Sandbox 

My host has HTML Tidy installed with PHP by default, so i doubt having HTML Tidy is an issue... I am just trying
to figure out why it randomly decides to ignore HTML tags, and if there is anything i can do about it.

It doesn't.  If you click on *edit* for that template and look down at 
the bottom of the page, you'll see a list of the templates used in 
Template:Infobox_Country.  You're missing quite a few of those.  Copy 
the missing templates to the wiki and see what happens.

It's not just that, look at the plain Sandbox page <
http://wiki.mobianlegends.com/wiki/Sandbox> its having issues with mixed
wiki/html tables.

Re: New install - skins directory not found

Thanks.  This put me on the right track.  For the record, this is what I 
ended up doing:

1. Add the following lines in LocalSettings.php:
$wgStylePath = "/wiki/skins";
$wgStyleDirectory = "/var/www/html/wiki/skins";

2. Move the skins dir from the install dir to webroot:
# mv /usr/share/mediawiki/skins/ /var/www/html/wiki/

3. Copy the includes dir from install dir to webroot:
# cp -R /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/ /var/www/html/wiki/includes/

Add the missing templates and that will likely clear up.

Timestamps

How can I set the timestamps on edits to the current server time?
Example:
  I edit a page at 10 am CST.
  History currently displays that edit at 3 PM or GMT.
  I want the history to display 10 am.

Thanks.

Lennie

Re: Removing a user

Gustavo,

Unfortunately, you cannot "remove" a user from your wiki once an account is
created. From what I understand, it will cause issues with the wiki's
database because it will mess with page histories and the such. This is in
the MediaWiki FAQ at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#How_do_I_delete_a_user_from_my_list_of_users.3F

What you would want to do instead is "block" the user account forever (set
not expiration on the block). Details can be found on the MediaWiki help
page Blocking Users (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Blocking_users)

Hope that helps!
