Talk:Documentation:Administration
Things I have not been able to figure out how to do on my newly installed wiki:
- Edit the default navigation box to include custom links.
This turns out to be in the file "xhtml_slim.pt" within the Templates folder. I wish it were a wiki page instead!!!
- Change the default icon and background image.
OK. I think I figured this one out. They are in the "Stylesheets folder", under the name of the style template you are using. Note: They are not in the "templates" folder. They are PNG files.
Actually, the icon needs to be changed at the top level of the Stylesheets folder, not within the specific template (although it exists there as well).
- Modify the URL scheme so it respects the URL forwarding I'm already using. (i.e. The domain my wiki is hosted on is not the same as the URL I wish to use, so all liks at www.myhost.com/... should be forwarded to www.mydomain.com/...) Ideally, I'd like to combine this with some kind of URL redirection so that I don't see the annoying index.php links on all the pages.
The second half of this question is answered in Rewrite_Rules, but not the first half. (Although I can't get my .htaccess file to work.)
Thanks for your help!

The latest MediaWiki supports granting sysop rights through the UI, so you don't have to use a SQL statement any longer. Update this doc to reflect that? --209.6.144.65 19:51, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
In section 3.1 (enabling and disabling downloads) it would be nice to have more information, such as-- what do the ImageMagick lines do?
# $wgUseImageMagick = true; # $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";
