I spoke to soon it seems. The wiki is now up and running with the new database structure under 1.14.0 but I have noticed a problem with user accounts and specifically capitalisation. Our wiki uses HTML basic auth (hooked into the university web authentication system) so people's university usernames are automatically passed through into mediawiki. The problem is, even though the code we used to override AuthPlugin is the same as the one we used in the previous version, something weird has happened which means that our usernames (previously all lowercase) are now no-longer valid. Mediawiki seems to always capitalise the first letter of each username which means that I can't access user pages. For example, the link: http://www.myserver.ac.uk/mediawiki/index.php/User:yjl24 ... automatically becomes: http://www.ccbi.cam.ac.uk/micklemlab/index.php/User:Yjl24 ... when I try to access it and I am informed that "There is currently no text in this page.". I realise that this is probably a feature of the newer version of mediawiki rather than a bug as such, but I would like to disable this feature to allow me to have all lower case usernames in line with our uni web auth system. I would be very happy if someone could point me in the right direction so I have a solution and am able to make our user pages accessible again. I'm happy to include any and all relevant source code if necessary. Thanks in advance, Dan T. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
