 * Special:Newimages I broke the internet. I'm guessing it's cuz we're on 1.4b3 instead of 1.4b5 which I'm running my testwiki on localhost with.  --Me at work 14:42, 1 Feb 2005 (PST)

Thanks for community help!
I'm excited by the possibilities of using my new wiki at community.wikicities.com! Thanks again for your help. I've started loading in some information; as usual the main question becomes "How do I present this info in a way that's actually useful?" Interface, interface, interface has become the new "location, location, location". Pluckey 13:04, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * I've just written a new help page at Help:Navigation. Let me know if you need any more information on this. Angela 14:21, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)

Say, I forgot to mention something. Do you think it would be better or worse to modify how this wiki appears in the List of Wikicities -- making it "Community Communication" instead of "Community"? I understand about the objective to make the name something "rememberable" ... I had originally considered the name "Communify" -- a quasi-made-up word incorporating "unifying community communication -- but that's just asking for trouble, what with its similarity to "community". Typos alone would vote against that, I suppose. I think it'd be fairly insane for me to expect anyone would even try to type in "communitycommunication.wikicities.com" so keeping the URL as just "community" would work fine for me. Any suggestions? - Pluckey 13:22, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Changing it to Community Communication in the list, and calling it that whenever you write about the wiki is fine. I'd advise against changing the URL or project namespace to that though simply because it's too long to type. Angela 14:21, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * That's cool. Say, is changing the name to "Community Communication" in "The List O' Cities" something I can do (which obviously I haven't gleaned how yet) or something which requires your expert hand? :-) Pluckey 15:22, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * First, something you can do is append colons before your text to make it threaded. Secondly, yes.  To start, I'd reccomend you middle click "what links here" to open it in a new tab (if you're not using firefox or another nice tabbing program then you will have a lot tougher time doing this).  This way you can see what other pages you'll have to "fix".  Then, 'move" the original page to the new name (Community Communication).  After that, go and open all the pages that link to it in new tabs, and find where it links and correct it.  On the Wikicity Descriptions page, it's as a template, , which will be changed to  .  The rest of it is simplle wikilink changing (i think).


 * But, although you can attempt it, I'd reccomend it not be done by you as Angela may have some special other things to do, that I am not aware of. Easier to mess it up doing it on your own than to allow someone else to make the possible mistakes :) --Me at work 15:45, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Ah ha! Stacking colons creates more indentations. Now I know. Secondly, I agree -- this is probably beyond my limited set of expertise (Sunday marks my first week of using a wiki) & I'd gladly accept any help on this minor issue. However, and I may be misunderstanding what you're proposing, Me at work, but won't moving the page to a new location also change the URL (from community.wikicities to communitycommunication.wikicities)? I'd like to retain the current existing URL -- but change what shows up in the List of Wikicities list from "Community" to "Community Communication". Hope this makes some kinda sense!

Mediawiki 1.4b6
''An attacker could craft a URL which, when visited by a particular logged-in user, would execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the user's browser in the wiki's site context. This attack has been blocked, and as an extra precaution the user CSS and JavaScript subpage support is now disabled by default. Sites which want this ability may set $wgAllowUserCss and $wgAllowUserJs in LocalSettings.php.''

Sounds to me like "Oh noes, someone's figured out how to change someone elses javascript". I can't really understand how a page that only the user who owns it can edit is a security flaw. Seriously. It's like saying "We've killed the mediawiki namespaces after we found out an admin could potentially put bad words there and it'd show up on the entire site!"

I don't understand the reasoning, and more importantly, I miss my customizations. I have seen some great stuff done with user css modding (from mozcom:User:LouCypher) and bet they are also not happy about this. The list of fixes mentions it (third from the end) but doesn't link to bugzilla or any explanation of the problem, other then somehow an attacker can show a logged in user some js? --Me at work 22:06, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Wikipedia has it enabled, so I don't see why we shouldn't. I'll see if I can get it switched back on. Angela
