Scenario 1: Using Virtual Directories with shared-hosting provider to Display Multiple Wikis[edit | edit source] This approach takes advantage of symlinks on a Unix-based system. This technique can also be used on Windows systems, by installing a program providing symbolic links. How to use "virtual directories" to operate more than one wiki on a single server, using the same source code (i.e. single set of MediaWiki files), using the same database, on a Unix-based system on a shared host: See the solution, including step-by-step, detailed instructions: Note that using a language subdomain similar to Wikipedia (en.example.com, fr.example.com and so on) will allow you to produce the capabilities of the above link's Method 2 while providing a simple differentiation of the two wikis through the use of a web server's virtual host capability.

Translate. The Translate extension makes MediaWiki a powerful tool to translate every kind of text.

Translate

It's used especially to translate software and to manage multilingual wikis in a sensible way. Features[edit | edit source] The Translate extension has many features specifically targeted to translators, while making back-end integration with actual source code as easy as possible. Meanwhile, everything runs inside MediaWiki, which allows users an almost endless degree of freedom for communication and self-organization.

Features include: Making Multilingual Wikis a Reality: this presentation shows how the Translate extension can make a wiki truly multilingual, based on the experience of KDE UserBase wiki.

Manual:Short URL/Apache

These instructions help setup Short URLs on Apache. The LiteSpeed webserver is Apache compatible and can be configured in relatively the same way. For information on what Short URLs are or to get instructions on configuration for other servers see Manual:Short URL. If you don't know what webserver you're using since you're using some sort of web hosting service, it's very likely that your host is using Apache. Plan[edit | edit source] Before starting, you need to decide on the name of your virtual "short url" path. In this manual we'll recommend/assume the following.

MooTools - a compact javascript framework. Semanticweb.org. Semantic-mediawiki.org. Semantic Forms. Semantic Forms is an extension to MediaWiki that allows users to add, edit and query data using forms.

Semantic Forms

It is heavily tied in with the Semantic MediaWiki extension, and is meant to be used for structured data that has semantic markup. Having Semantic MediaWiki installed is a precondition for the Semantic Forms extension; the code will not work without it. Very simply, Semantic Forms allows you to have forms for adding, editing and querying data on your wiki, without any programming. Forms can be created and edited not just by administrators, but by users themselves. The main components of Semantic Forms functionality are form definition pages, which exist in a new namespace, 'Form:'. Semantic Maps.

The Semantic Maps extension adds semantic capabilities to the Maps extension.

Semantic Maps

This includes the ability to add, edit, aggregate and visualize coordinate data stored through the Semantic MediaWiki extension. Since Semantic Maps uses the Maps API, you can use multiple mapping services. These include Google Maps (with Google Earth support), Yahoo! Maps, OpenLayers and OpenStreetMap. Sprint.
