Re: Upgrading Mediawiki

Hi Christensen, I do have access to the Cpanel which provides MySQL and
phpAdmin access. The database after upgrading says 152,714 records and 38.8
MB.

I was just wondering. If the database was written with UTF8 backward
compatibility, can I change it to binary during the Mediawiki installation?
I did that and wonder whether this could be the cause.

The wiki is a public wiki hosted by Wikia.

>From <http://www.wowwiki.com/Special:Version> it looks like they're running 
MediaWiki 1.13.4.

The template can be found here:

<http://www.wowwiki.com/Template:Guildbox>

Here's the content (the armory link at the bottom is the one I want to get 
working):

{{Talkpagedoc}}
[[Category:Infobox templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]

<includeonly><onlyinclude>{{Iconbox
|icon = {{{{{faction|Neutral}}} Icon}}
|name = {{#if:{{{name|}}}|{{{name}}}|{{PAGENAME}}}}

Re: Leading or trailing spaces in template parameters

Hi,

> [http://eu.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r={{urlencode:{{{server}}}}}&n={{urlencode:{{{name}}}}}&p=1
> {{{name}}} Armory] }}

You first have to find out if the {{{name}}} actually contains the
leading and trailing space. If it does, then the urlencode is your
problem, otherwise the problem lies in passing leading/trailing spaces
to named template parameters.

The following did not work?:

{{Guildbox
 | name =  &#32;M A&#32;
 | server = Bleeding Hollow
 | location = US
 | image =
 | leader = Deadhead {{RaceIcon|Human|Male|Small}}{{ClassIcon|Priest|Small}}
 | level = 1-80
 | type = PvP
 | faction = Alliance
 | accounts = 256
 | web = http://www.ma-wow.com/
 }}

If statements in templates not rendering correctly

Hey all,

I am trying to import some WikiPedia articles into a local instance of
MediaWiki and it seems as if the templates are not displaying correctly,
particularly when theres if statements or switch statements.  This can be
seen, for example in this page:
http://youversity.com/tmpwiki/index.php?title=Phish .  I'm using MediaWiki
version 1.13.3.  I believe this version should be equipped to handle
templates with conditional statements...does something need to be enabled in
a settings file somewhere or something?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.
James

Re: If statements in templates not rendering correctly

You need to install ParserFunctions:

No, that definitely failed, passing the encoding string (not actual spaces) 
to the template.

I'll try to bake up a test template to see what's going on with the 
parameter.

It's the {{urlencode: }} that strips the leading and trailing spaces,
according to the mediawiki help at meta [1].

I don't see how you fix that easily, so you may have to use a custom
template to get your preferred URL displayed.

Re: Left aligned table and bullet list

Good hint, here is my solution (in MediaWiki:Common.css):

table[align=left] {
  margin-right: 20px;
}

This adds 20px margin to all left-aligned tables.

You could also add this padding only to the left aligned tables.  You can do it in the page, or you can make a new
style in main.css (Or in MediaWiki:common.css if you have access to it.) called .left

Thanks for researching that. I guess I could go look at the source for that 
and see what the reasoning for the stripping is. Perhaps it will hint at an 
alternate solution, or perhaps a variant of urlencode that doesn't strip.
