Missing Section Headings
by Marc Riddell 13 Sep '24

13 Sep '24

Hello, I have been a WP editor since 2006. I hope you can help me. For some reason I no longer have Section Heading titles showing in the Articles. This is true of all Headings including the one that carries the Article subject's name. When there is a Table of Contents, it appears fine and, when I click on a particular Section, it goes to that Section, but all that is there is a straight line separating the Sections. There is also no button to edit a Section. If I edit the page and remove the "… [View More]

MediaWiki to Latex Converter
by Hugo Vincent 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi everyone, I recently set up a MediaWiki (http://server.bluewatersys.com/w90n740/) and I need to extra the content from it and convert it into LaTeX syntax for printed documentation. I have googled for a suitable OSS solution but nothing was apparent. I would prefer a script written in Python, but any recommendations would be very welcome. Do you know of anything suitable? Kind Regards, Hugo Vincent, Bluewater Systems.

Experimental Wikia RTE branch for MediaWiki trunk
by Brion Vibber 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

(CC'd inez @ wikia) In the process of getting a better feel for the current state of Wikia, Wikihow, & a few others' rich text editor tools, I'm going through Wikia's CKEditor-based RTE extension and seeing if I can get it working on MediaWiki trunk. I've got a fork from Wikia's SVN in this gitorious project: http://www.gitorious.org/mediawiki-wikia-rte The 'master' branch is a straight git-svn clone of the subtree; 'tweaks' branch has some extra doc … [View More]

Unit testing now working - break it and be reverted
by Chad 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi everyone, Painstakingly, all of the unit tests are now passing on cruise control (Sqlite) and my local install (Sqlite & Mysql). This is as of r90150 [0]. Thank you immensely to Brion for finally tracking down and eliminating that pesky BlockTest bug. This means? We know that according to what we have covered by PHPUnit (barring things marked incomplete/skipped), everything is currently working. I'd like for Max to turn IRC annoyances back on with the codurr bot for CC failures. From … [View More]

Domain name for cruisecontrol
by Bryan Tong Minh 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Can we have a proper domain name for cruisecontrol? Something like testing.mediawiki.org. That is much easier to remember than ci.usability.tesla.wikimedia.org or whatever.
