Nothing exists that maps wikiname to username. wikiname was a poor choice and now we're paying for it :-/ > - I understand that User:foobar has special meaning in MediaWiki and > agree it is worth the hassle for those who want the functionality; do we > have to force the feature on them and break their URLs? > They can do it on their own time. This is something that I suspect will just be a mess forever.

We'll have to see how others are doing it. Both OpenSuse and wikipedia use mediawiki to accomplish this.

(Added to ticket 31.) Exactly how attachments is going to work is still quite fuzzy in my head. We can mass upload attachments, but I'm not totally sure I can predict _where_ they'll end up. So if we had something at wiki/MyPictures/attachment it might end up in /wiki/uploads/5/42/MyPictures_attachment I've not looked into this much but anyone with experience in mediawiki attachments please do ping me and point me in the right direction, it'd save some time. -Mike -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list
