The parser function #info allows to add tooltips containing additional information or warnings.

Syntax


  • {{#info: <text> | <icon> }}
  • you must include the "nowiki" tag around any equal signs if you want to use styles inside the into popup
    • example: <span style<nowiki>=</nowiki>"color:red">
    • result {{#info:text this is red text|warning}}
  • {{#info:text <span style<nowiki>="color:red">this is red text}}</nowiki>


  • If you want to have a large image popup, the best way to do this is using these inline styles with the span tag
    • position:fixed; left:10px; top:10px; overflow:visible;
    • inline text {{#info:text THIS WILL PUT THE IMAGE UP HERE text}} inline text
    • Use the Popupimg template inside the Popup template to do exactly this
    • example: {{#info: {{Popupimg|[[File:Nicoll2011 Fig1.png]]}} }}
    • result: {{#info: }}
    • example: {{Popup| {{Popupimg|[[File:Nicoll2011 Fig1.png]] }} }}
    • result: {{#info: }}


Parameters

Text
  • The first parameter displays the text in the #info bubble and should only contain inline HTML elements. No paragraphs, tables, lists or any other block elements are allowed. One should also avoid using empty lines (because empty line will terminate one paragraph and start another one) and equal signs (see the tips section). Refraining from those guidelines could lead to incorrect HTML code and rendering (e. g. part of text after empty line could be rendered in the page, not in the bubble).

Icon
In case a second parameter is passed onto to #info, it will influences the display of the icon. If an incorrect parameter is used then the parameter will be silently ignored, and the default info icon will be displayed instead.

Allowed values are:

Icon Description Example
info A blue icon with question mark; default {{#info: test }}
warning A yellow icon with exclamation mark. warning}}


Code Result Comment
Some inline text{{#info:Text to be shown in a bubble.}} Some inline text{{#info:Text to be shown in a bubble.}} Click on the icon to see the bubble.
Tugrik{{#info:The official currency of Mongolia.}} Tugrik{{#info:The official currency of Mongolia.}}  
2011-02-29{{#info:Incorrect date.|warning}} warning}} In Semantic MediaWiki prior to version 1.6.0 the second argument is ignored, "info" icon is used unconditionally.



  • inline text {{#info:popup text parser tag}} using the parser tag 'info'
    • {{#info:popup text parser tag}}


  • inline text {{#info: popup text template }} using the template 'Popup'
    • {{Popup|popup text template}}

Wiki editors can add the magic word to a page to prevent automatic linking of page titles (remove spaces before and after NOAUTOLINKS).

__ NOAUTOLINKS __

Livelets

To create livelets, wrap any areas of the page in the #live parser-function.

In the following example, a transclusion of the page called Template:MyVerySlowTable has been turned into a livelet: 

{{#live: {{MyVerySlowTable}} }}


References and Citations

In-text references make it easy to copy the text to another page; on the other hand, they make it hard to read. References containing a lot of data, quotes or elaborate citation templates can make up a significantly larger fraction of the source than the text that will actually be visible. To avoid this, recent versions of the extension allow moving some or all of the references into the <references /> section, to the place where they will actually appear to the reader. Thus,

According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<ref name="miller" />
The Moon, however, is not so big.<ref name="smith" />

==Notes==
<references>
<ref name="miller">E. Miller, The Sun, (New York: Academic Press, 2005), 23-5.</ref>
<ref name="smith">R. Smith, "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 46 (April 1978): 44-6.</ref>
</references>

will have the same output as the first example above, although the numbering and order of the references will not in general be the same.

Upgrading MediaWiki

Step 1 - download latest stable version of MediaWiki


Step 2 - determine database credentials from dreamhost

Get Hostname (e.g.)
  • mysql.bradleymonk.com
Get Database name (e.g.)
  • bradleymonk_com
Get Database User name (e.g.)
  • username
Get Database User pass (e.g.)
  • password


Step 3 - back-up existing files and the database

  • Go to: mysql.example.com
  • Enter db user and password when prompted
  • click on db in left panel
  • click on the "Export" tab
  • check "Save as file"
  • click "Go"


Step 4 - FTP the mediawiki.tar.gz file to the /w directory


Step 5 - Unpack the tarball

Use the console to SSH into the /w directory and unpack tarball
  • $ssh bradleymonk.com -l username
  • Change to the /w directory
  • $tar xvzf mediawiki.tar.gz
  • this unpacks into a new folder: /w/mediawiki


Step 6 - Move files and rename directory

Copy files from old to new directory
  • LocalSettings.php
  • logofile.png
  • images (or upload) directory
  • extension directory
  • custom skins
  • .htaccess file
Swap-rename directories
  • rename old directory /w_old
  • move new directory out of /w_old to top level domain
  • rename new directory to /w


Step 7 - Run MediaWiki update script

  • login with SSH again:
  • $ssh bradleymonk.com -l username
  • change to the /w/maintenance directory
  • enter: $php update.php


  • If the prompt gives an error like: "you're using php version 2.x mediawiki requires version 3.x"
  • try entering these:
  • $/usr/local/php53/bin/php update.php
  • $/usr/local/php54/bin/php update.php


Check if the upgrade worked by going to the MediaWiki page "Special Version"
