== Mediawiki skin (from helpdesk) ==
I'm looking for someone who could adapt an existing skin to a mediawiki. I've tried asking on IRC and on the mailing-list, without any success. Is there any other way of getting in touch with someone who could do it?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply to my question at the support desk : to remove "edit" at the right of each section.

== Big security hole in Simple Security extension ==
Hi, Nad, I find other user can edit the page which they should not edit this way:

1. go to "History" of the article

2. compare one record with another previous record

3. on the comparision page, the record on the left, click "Edit"

4. Alough there are some prompt information said you can not edit it, but actually the user can still edit it in the edit area, even change the Simple Security script!

Note: on the comparision page, the record on the right, the user can not edit it.

:What version of SimpleForms and LocalSettings? When I access the history of a restricted article it gives the message:
<pre>
Sorry, action not permitted!
Your user rights do not permit the view action to be performed on this article.
</pre>
:If I use another browser (logged on) to obtain the url in 3 that you suggest it still provides a restriction message --[[User:Zven|Zven]] 17:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

:Do you mean you can not access the "History" section at all? Sorry, how can I check the version of SimpleForms and LocalSettings? I tested it on my two different wiki version website, 1.10.1 and 1.11.0, unfortunately, this problem happened on both of them. --[[User:Italways|Italways]] 20:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

:: Thats right, on http://www.organicdesign.co.nz I cannot access the history of a restricted article unless I have the required permission I am logged in. You can check your extension version through your [[Special:Version]]. Your [[LocalSettings.php]] file should have the settings you added from the installation instructions on [[Extension:Simple Security]] --[[User:Zven|Zven]] 00:33, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

:::my Simple Security is version 3.4.8, 2007-10-09. I did not use Simple Form, that is why I wonder how to check Simple Form version.what the exact meaning of "restricted" you mentioned? On my site, I use {{#security:edit|user1}} on a page, that means only user1 can edit it, and it works if other user (e.g. User2) click "Edit" and try to edit it, it will prompt that it can not be edited, but if User2 go to History (on my website,every user can see page History, I try to use {{#security:History|user1}} to restrict it, but it does not work), he ca can hack and edit this page using the above way I described. --[[User:Italways|Italways]] 15:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

== PdfBook ==
Hi, Nad.. Thanks for PDF_Book. Hope this is the place to ask questions. Why does a generated pdf book show question marks "?" instead of an apostrophe " ' " in non English doc (i.e. French) ? Is there a place where I could find a more detailed help for using Doc_Book (I read already the help page)...I still did not manage using it without the <nowiki>[[Category]]</nowiki> tag. Thanks for help.

== Hi again ==
Though I have made a series of excellent contributions to the Support desk I still have trouble finding my way around the site, so I figured I'd ask you. Is there a place to suggest new ideas for MediaWiki? -[[User:PatPeter|Pat]][[User talk:PatPeter|Peter]], [[Project:Support desk/Support team|MediaWiki Support Team]] 18:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
:I'm not sure of a local page about that, normally feature requests are submitted to [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ wikimedia bugzilla] since that's an active workflow in use by the developers. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 19:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
:As for the signature I was about to announce it to all the Support team members, I sort of had it it the "beta" stages until I could get a good color (and now image).

== Can you help me some more? ==
Thank you for your help [[Project:Support_Desk#dif_MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning2_per_namespacea_and_more|here]].

The parser functions are great, thank you for pointing me in their direction.

But, that code you gave me to add an edit message to the site message adds the MediaWiki message successfully, but twice. It repeats. The other day it repeated it three times. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

(On a side note, is it possible to make a function that "hooks" a message into something, not the sitemessage, that appears below the title of the editing page? As in, when you edit a MediaWiki file, it says, below the title, "Warning: You are editing a page which is used to provide interface text for the software." Is it possible to have my new MediaWiki Message apear in that area, instead of the sitemessage which is above the title?

This request is less urgent, of course, than the bare essential of getting it to work in the first place.)

Thank you for you assistance so far, and thank you for any further help. [[User:Smaug|Smaug]] 02:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
:That's not usual for the site-notice to be above the title - what skin are you using? Also it's not usual for the OutputPageBeforeHTML hook to be called more than once, but a patch to the code would fix that problem as follows:
<source lang=php>
$wgHooks['OutputPageBeforeHTML'][] = 'wfAddEditMessage';
function wfAddEditMessage(&$out) {
static $done = 0;
if ($done++) return true;
global $action,$wgSiteNotice;
if ($action == 'edit') $wgSiteNotice .= '{{MediaWiki:EditMessage}}';
return true;
}
</source>
:If you want more control, you could add some code into the skin script which renders an article at whatever position you like using the following code (this code renders the article called MediaWiki:MyMessage),
<source lang=php>
global $wgUser,$wgTitle,$wgParser;
$msg = new Article(Title::newFromText('MyMessage',NS_MEDIAWIKI));
if (is_object($wgParser)) { $psr = $wgParser; $opt = $wgParser->mOptions; }
else { $psr = new Parser; $opt = NULL; }
if (!is_object($opt)) $opt = ParserOptions::newFromUser($wgUser);
echo $psr->parse($msg->fetchContent(),$wgTitle,$opt,true,true)->getText();
</source>

== [[Extension:NewUserMessage]] ==
Hi Nad. [[Extension:NewUserMessage]] is sweet. I have added it to the MediaWiki subversion repository. From what I see, there may be many more extensions that are worth adding to the repository. Why don't you try and get hold of [[User:Brion VIBBER|brion]] on the Freenode IRC channel #mediawiki and ask him if you can get subversion access as an extension committer? Cheers! [[User:Siebrand|Siebrand]] 23:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
:Oh, I am planning on using it very soon on [[betawiki:]]. Cheers! [[User:Siebrand|Siebrand]] 23:03, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

:::Excellent. Then you now know that people may be waiting for your extensions. Once of the advantages of having them in the MediaWiki svn is that, providing they have i18n features and a proper implementation, they will be added to the supported extensions in extension Translate, which gives much better localisation of the extension. Anyway, looking forward to your contributions. Cheers! [[User:Siebrand|Siebrand]] 14:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

==[[LocalSettings issue from helpdesk]]==
Here is the phpinfo page from the helpdesk issue regarding installing on Tomcat environment. Any help is greatly appreciated!
:Your PHP info shows that the java-servlet environment is not populating the PHP $_SERVER array with the CGI variables. There may be a tomcat config setting allowing it to work that way, but I can't help you with that. Have a look at [[OrganicDesign:files/info.php]], the CGI variables are in the section called "Apache Environment" and MediaWiki requires those be in the $_SERVER array at runtime. If they're not present as in your case, then it means that your PHP is configured to run in command-line context not web-server context. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 09:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

==[[Extension:XmlOutput|XmlOutput Extension]]==
Hello! It looks like you were developing the XmlOutput extension.

== Maybe a good alternative to CurrentUsers extension ==
Hi Nad, a virtual friend is developing a great extension (Ajaxwhosonline) http://www.gizmogarden.com/index.php/Ajax_whos_online that show who is reading the wiki in realtime. As i can see you develop CurrentUsers so i thought you could like (Ajaxwhosonline) and maybe help in development. What do you think?
:And PublicRevision extension? Any news?
::Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it and if it works well I'll replace the CurrentUsers extension with it. I don't have time to help in development as I have too much on even too make much progress with my own extensions (such as PublicRevision - sorry no progress). I've done a lot of AJAX in MediaWiki though and would be happy to answer any questions they may have, either here or on [[OrganicDesign:User talk:Nad]].

:::A couple of useful features in an online user list are, grouping all IP's into a single "guests" entry so that only logged in users names are shown individually (as there can be hundreds of anonymous visitors making the list too long). Also being able to detect and filter/group bots is a good feature. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 03:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:Hi Nad the current version has some bugs, but a new version will be released soon fixing many bugs and adding option to private chat between users. I don't agree grouping all IP's into a single entry. I think could have an option to show 3 lines and with option to expand the list to see all users. I'm happy you liked it and I hope you use it on your site (wait for the new version). Thanks.
::For me to use it on our site I'd need to allow the anonymous users to be grouped because I don't want a list of sometimes over a thousand IP's in the page - large traffic sites would be even worse. You have to design things in a scalable way. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 21:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I just saw that you are one of the people who offers support. Can you help me with how to install extensions? Every article on mediawiki I read I honestly dont get. My site is hosted by hostmonster.com and I just made it today. Its called vindemi.com
Thanks --[[User:Vindemi|Vindemi]] 01:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
:You'll need to tell me what you're trying to install and what's going wrong for me to be able to help. I see your wiki is a very old version which is likely to give you unnecessary trouble, you're running PHP5 which means there's no reason you can't run the latest version of MediaWiki instead of 1.6 which people usually only run if they're forced o use PHP4. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 02:46, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks I fixed the extension problem this way. But I have Two other questions: How do I change the maximum file upload size and Why the it say "Page" instead of "Article" on the top?--[[User:Vindemi|Vindemi]] 21:38, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
:::They changed the name from article to page in 1.12, it can be set from the [[MediaWiki:Nstab-main]] article, but for such settings to take effect you must also set [[Manual:$wgUseDatabaseMessages|$wgUseDatabaseMessages]] to "true" in your LocalSettings.php file. The maximum file upload size is part of the PHP environment so you'll need to adjust you ''php.ini'' file. Where that file is depends on your server and how you can make changes to it depends on what kind of access your host has given you. You could try forcing the setting from you LocalSettings.php by adding for example,
ini_set('upload_max_filesize','32M');
:::add it near the top where you'll find another ''ini_set'' statement for memory, but I fear it may not work adding it in there for file uploads since they occur in a separate request, and so a permanent setting from the ''php.ini'' file may be necessary. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 09:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you so much. It worked. Just one more question though: I need help installing Advertisements on the sides (Out of the actual editing spot) of my wiki.

== Help PdfBook Problem ==
Nad or support,

I installed PdfBook per the documentation. We running mediawiki 1.7.1, PHP 5.0.3, MYSQL 4.1.1.0a on Suse 10.2 and apache2

I am getting error in apache error_log when I try and run the pdfbook on a category
http://Docserver/mywiki/index.php?Title=Category:Installation&action=pdfbook

The following is from the apache error_log:

[client 127.0.0.2] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Parser::preprocess() in
/usr/local/data/www/mywiki/extensions/PdfBook/PdfBook.php on line 94

Following is from the PdfBook.php:

75 # Select articles from members if a category or links in content if not
76 $articles = array();
77 $title = $article->getTitle();
78 $opt = ParserOptions::newFromUser($wgUser);
79 if ($title->getNamespace() == NS_CATEGORY) {
80 $db = &wfGetDB(DB_SLAVE);
81 $cat = $db->addQuotes($title->getDBkey());
82 $result = $db->select(
83 'categorylinks',
84 'cl_from',
85 "cl_to = $cat",
86 'PdfBook',
87 array('ORDER BY' => 'cl_sortkey')
88 --[[User:Ajt|Ajt]] 17:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC) );
89 if ($result instanceof ResultWrapper) $result = $result->result;
90 while ($row = $db->fetchRow($result)) $articles[] = Title::newFromID($row[0]);
91 }
92 else {
93 $text = $article->fetchContent();
94 $text = $wgParser->preprocess($text,$title,$opt);
95 if (preg_match_all('/^\\*\\s*\\[{2}\\s*([^\\|\\]]+)\\s*.*?\\]{2}/m',$text,$links))
96 foreach ($links[1] as $link) $articles[] = Title::newFromText($link);
97 }

I looked at the Parser.php in /usr/local/data/www/mywiki/include and found that it did not have a function preprocess 
Parser.php is default from mediawiki.

Where do I get the Parser.php that has the necessary function that PdfBook uses and How do I install it?

When trying to look at the Pdf Book Sources e.g. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/PdfBook I get nothing.
Is that a temporary issue? Where can I find what I need to install to make Pdf Book work?

You can reach me on Klaus.Neutze@sun.com

Thanks
Klaus
:I have no idea why that link doesn't work, but you can get it direct from the SVN link http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/PdfBook/PdfBook.php --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 20:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

== NukeDPL Bugs ==

Hey there. While using NukeDPL, I've noticed a couple of bugs.
*The first two results for any query aren't returned.
*You don't need to be logged in to use it.
Just in case you didn't know. [[Special:Contributions/75.6.25.182|75.6.25.182]] 06:39, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

:People using the linked page [[OrganicDesign:Extension:NukeDPL.php]] were getting a version that didn't work because the dpl tags were being rendered. I changed it to a raw link. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 01:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

== Obsolete or Abandonded ==
Shouldn't you add SimpleForms to your list of abandoned extensions? --[[User:Alterego|Alterego]] 21:38, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks yes it should be, done now :) --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 08:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== RecordAdmin ==

Hey,

RecordAdmin sounds exactly like an extension that we need, but it would be awesome and necessary for us to be able to have a public form that users can fill out to submit a request to us.

How far out do you think this feature is?

[[User:Cmelbye|Cmelbye]] 14:45, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:That's already part of the current version, I just haven't had time to document it very well yet... I'll add a bit about that now - its in the section called "public forms". --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 07:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
::Also you should check out [[Extension:SemanticForms]], depending on your needs that may be a more appropriate extension for you. SemanticForms is more strictly structured and typed, but RecordAdmin is more quick and casual. Both of them store the data in articles in the same way as template syntax and parameters, so it would be possible to change from one to the other later if necessary too. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 09:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== PDF Book Not Available ==

Hi Nad - PDFBook is not available for download. It looks like it has been unavailable since March (from the Talk page). How can I download it? --[[User:Robinson Weijman|Robinson Weijman]] 10:52, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
:That's odd, you can still get to the code from the browse SVN link, or you can ''svn checkout'' it --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 21:11, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

== hi ==

red links for only sysop on simple calender

Is it possible so that non registered and user can't see the red links but only the sypop can? Many guests on my website don't like it.

e.g.

'''Anyone other then sysop sees''' 
''I like the colour red.''

'''Sysop sees''' 
''I like the colour [[red]].''

Sysop can edit anytime they like. When they edited red the link will be visible to everyone. [[Special:Contributions/86.136.71.30|86.136.71.30]] 19:50, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:DO you mean that you want people only with edit-access to see the red links? or just that you'd like the links to be normal colour for non-sysop but still lead to editing day-articles? --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 21:08, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I mean people only with edit-access to see the red links. Others see it as normal text. But once someone with edit-access edits it, It will become a link. Hope you understand :) [[Special:Contributions/86.136.71.30|86.136.71.30]] 05:25, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

== Extension RecentActivity ==
hi, I can't find the code or any instructions in order to install the specific extension. Is there a place where I should go?
thank you.--[[User:Biris|Biris]] 16:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
:oops, sorry, the link was incorrect, fixed now - it shouldn't have had .php on the end... --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 21:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

== Your Component just seems to be the right one ! ==

Hi, my name is Julien ([[User:B2T|B2T]])
I let a message on the discussion page for TreeView extension. This is really what I was seeking for and you seem to be only one who developed such extension.
Nevertheless, after instarlling, quoting the include at the begining of the localSettings.php and creating the article Common.css, I'm still not able to display any tree in my wiki... quite frustrating since I don't have any error messages.
I must admit I'm a newbe and your help would be much apreciated.
Cheers (sorry to chase you up on different pages)

== Additional Functionality CategoryWatch ==

Hey Nad, would like to add some functionality to CategoryWatch. Not sure if / how you would like to keep the main idea behind the extension. Have made changes localy and tested. Also fixed the salutation issue mentioned on the talk page of the extension. Now would like to discuss if and how to check-in my changes!
Ys, --[[User:Carter040|Carter040]] 14:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
:Hi sorry for the long delay, could you email me regarding this on aran at organicdesign dot co dot nz and I'll commit the patch. Thanks :-) --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 23:15, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

== Extension:NewUserMessage ==

Hi Nad. I was wondering whether [[Extension:NewUserMessage]] can be adjusted to add option to welcome a new user at his first edit (or upon a variable number of edits) not at his registration? The reason for that is that in Arabic Wikipedia we are facing a huge number of new registrations every day compared to other projects, and we would like to reduce the number of new user talk pages created everyday. --[[User:Ciphers|Ciphers]] 03:18, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

== Extension:PdfBook problem ==

Hi Nad. I try to use the mediawiki and the pdfbook extension. I have put the extension to the extension folder and included in the LocalSettings.php. I have installed the htmldoc as well. I am using IIS 5.1. When I put the &action=pdfbook to the URL it creates only an empty pdf. What can be wrong? I have only installed the htmldoc, should I make more settings with it?
Br, Zsolt
:Hy, Zsolt, i have the same problem like u. did u have a solution to fix it? cheers adrian - 16.Okt 2010

== Extension:RecentActivity ==

Hi Nad. I changed the status of [[extension:RecentActivity]] to Unstable, according to the talk page it is not working for MediaWiki 1.14 and 1.15. FYI Kind regards [[User:Aventicum|Aventicum]] 09:59, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

== [[:Extension_talk:EmailPage#Localisation|Localisation for EmailPage]] ==
Hi Nad, I have added the localisation for de and de-formal. It would be great if you include it into the extension. I have not found this extension on translationwiki, thus I am doing it "the dirty way". ;-) Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 21:46, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
:Thanks a lot, added to svn :-) --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 19:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
::I would like to thank you! I am thinking of going through all of your extensions an localise them in German language, if it is missing. This should add even more advantage and support their further distribution. Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 00:21, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== [[Extension_talk:EmailPage#Email_link_in_tool_box|Extension:EmailPage → support of modern and vektor]] ==

Hi Nad, I hope everything is ok down there at your end of the world. I think this extension should be core on non-public wikis since it helps pushing people to use a wiki rather than an e-mail. Thus support of modern and vector would be very very useful. As soon as you have some spare time... Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 19:41, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
:I'm not quite sure what it means to support those skins in terms of changes to the extension? --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 00:22, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
::Hi Nad, if you use those two skins neither the tab “e-mail” at the top of the page nor the link “E-mail page” appears in the toolbox. Thus you cannot use this extension when utilising with these two skins. It only works with monobook. Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 01:47, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
:::The problem seems to be with the skin itself - the hooks I've used to add to the actions links and toolbox links are the correct ones which work properly for most skins. I'll have a look later at the vector skin code and see why its failing for that and commit a fix if I can see the problem. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 00:47, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
::::Also I noticed that in the Modern skin only the toolbox link is failing, but the action link is added properly. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 00:52, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
:::::Yep, you are right! I could swear it was not there before, but it is. I am sorry for that. :-( As a beginner I would have thought that it is easier to place the toolbox link than the action link. Hmm...? However, a fix, if possible would be great because Vector seems to evolve being the future standard skin of MediaWiki. Take your time since it works with my two favourite skins. :-) Thank you and cheers --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 16:49, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Just wanted to say "Thank you!" for the SimpleSecurity extension. I know, I've read the warning signs that it might not be 100% waterproof but it's exactly what I was looking for and "secure enough" (and easy to use, too) for the wikis I care for. Thanks so much! -- [[Special:Contributions/78.47.219.222|78.47.219.222]] 08:21, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Hiii Nad , is FormMailer Extension working with 1.16.0beta2 version --[[User:Mohamed Ouda|Mohamed Ouda]] 01:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

== Extension:Javascript ==

Hi Nad,
I'm searching for a good way to include javascript files into my mediawiki without changing the php code of core files and without having to change every skin in my wiki. I came to your Javascript extension page. I like the way you managed the inclusion by a global pathes-variable. Unfortunately you marked your extension as obsolete. Why is it obsolete? What is currently the best way to include javascript files? It would be nice if you could update the extension's description page.
Thx Mo [[Special:Contributions/77.4.120.86|77.4.120.86]] 11:48, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
:I rewrote that extension a while back to work a slightly different way where you just save all your ''*.js'' files into the same place the extension is saved and they automatically are all loaded in whne you include the extension. I've updated the page here and at Organic Design. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 07:49, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

== PdfBook chapters all have the same name ==

Hi Nad,
I installed PdfBook (in 1.16) and when I export (as pdf or html) all of the chapter titles are that of the first chapter. Sub-chapters get the correct name though.
-Amir
: I noticed that if I put in a Heading1 on the page, it gets the correct title, otherwise it just uses the title of the first page
:: I wound up editing the extension and got the results I wanted without understanding it all (so I'm not sure if this will break something else)
<pre><nowiki>
$ttext = $article->getTitle()->getBaseText(); #set the title to the articles title, wasn't working before
$h1 = $notitle ? '' : "<center><h1>$ttext</h1></center>";
</nowiki></pre>

Hi Amir,
I am having the same problem. Where did you introduce this change in the PdfBook.php?
Thanks in advanced.
-Victor
:I've removed that get/setHtmlTitle stuff as it seemed to be causing trouble and was very old and too specific a purpose to be useful, so check it out now and see if it's sorted out. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 10:20, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
::Thanks Nad, it works fine now. -Victor

== AddLinkClasses Extention ==

I saw a post over at [http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?11979-Can-I-condition-page-link-style-on-page-Category MWUsers Forum] that would be very helpful to me. I contacted the poster and he referred me to you. I could really use your help with implementing this over at my site. I tried to implement it, but cannot get it to work. Please contact me at admin AT whatsafterthecredits.com or via that forum please.

== [[Extension_talk:CurrentUsers#UNIQ_problem.3F|Extension:CurrentUsers (UNIQ-problem)]] ==

Hi Nad, a working solution has been posted for your extension. It would be good if you will have a look at it and decide to include it into the source code of your extension or not. Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 08:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

== UploadCSV extension ==

Hello! It seemed that you have been working on [[UploadCSV]] extension for some period of time. Would you mind to give a link to the zip-file with extension - the original developer is unreachable now and the link to the extension is broken.
thanks in advance!

== Extension:RecentActivity ==

hi, re [[Extension:RecentActivity]], how would i change the following code in order to allow only articles in the main namespace to appear in the list:
<pre>
case 'new':
$dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
$tbl = $dbr->tableName( 'revision' );
$user = $user ? 'rev_user_text = '.$dbr->addQuotes( $user ) : '';
$res = $dbr->select(
$tbl,
'rev_page, MIN(rev_id) as minid',
$user,
__METHOD__,
array( 'GROUP BY' => 'rev_page', 'ORDER BY' => 'minid DESC', 'LIMIT' => $count )
);
while ( $row = $dbr->fetchRow( $res ) ) {
$title = Title::newFromId( $row['rev_page'] );
if ( is_object( $title ) ) {
$page = $title->getPrefixedText();
$items[] = $format."[[:$page|$page]]";
}
}
$dbr->freeResult( $res );
break;
</pre>
also, if I may ask, which sql quary should i use to change a list of main namespace articles starting with the words "Portal talk:" to namespace "101"?

i'd really appreciate your help. Yonidebest [[Special:Contributions/46.120.4.41|46.120.4.41]] 16:24, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
