Mediawiki

From Smop.co.uk

There were four contenders here:

• mediawiki - de facto winner
• docuwiki - didn't get on with it
• moinmoin - don't like it
• ruse - bit immature ATM

I setup mediawiki as follows:

• apt-get install mediawiki
• visit "/mediawiki" and configure
• ln -sf /var/lib/mediawiki1.7/LocalSettings.php /etc/mediawiki1.7
• download spamblacklist to extensions/
• add antispam to the bottom of LocalSettings.php:

# Force people to register before they are allowed to edit
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; 
$wgShowIPinHeader = false;

#Disallow creating accounts
#$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;

require_once( "$IP/extensions/SpamBlacklist/SpamBlacklist.php" );
$wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array(
        // http://blacklist.chongqed.org/mediawiki/
        "$IP/extensions/SpamBlacklist/banned",
        // Mediawikis banned page
        "http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spam_blacklist&action=raw&sb_ver=1",
        // Banned strings page
        "DB: wikidb My_spam_blacklist",
);

• more LocalSettings.php changes:

# logo at top left of the screen
$wgLogo             = "$wgStylePath/common/images/smop_logo.png";

# allow uploads
$wgEnableUploads        = true;
# do not disable unknown extensions
$wgStrictFileExtensions = false;
# do not try mime checks (breaks .dia uploads for example)
$wgVerifyMimeType       = false;

To add the Google Analytics stuff in, you need to edit /var/lib/mediawiki1.7/skins/MonoBook.php (or whichever skin) and insert it into the footer section. Ewww.
