After installing 1.5beta3, using the special page MediaWiki:Nogomatch to allow creation of a new page from a failed search (see FAQ at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#How_do_I_show_a_link_to_create_a_page_when_searches_fail.3F) no longer works. Instead, it displays the following: Search results From EnterpriseManagement For query "Test" No page with that title exists You can <a href=":Test" class="new">create an article with this title</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested articles">put up a request for it</a>.
The message does not display on a failed search but on a failed "go". To show the message: - Enter some text in the search input box, for ex "doesnotexist1234" - Press "GO" (not "search") Message should show: "No page with this exact title exists, trying full text search." Please retest using the "GO" button.
You are correct - this error occurs with the "Go" command, not "Search." However, it still displays the error -- as noted in the open, I am using the special Nogomatch page to alter the output of a Go result to allow us to create a new page, as refernced in the FAQ. It appears to be reaching the Special:Nogomatch page, but is not rendering the link appropriately.
MediaWiki:nogomatch should use wiki syntax, not html : ---8<---------------- <span style="font-size: 135%; font-weight: bold; margin-left: .6em"> No page with that title exists </span> <span style="display: block; margin: 1.5em 2em"> You can <b>[[$1|create an article with this title]]</b> or [[Wikipedia:Requested articles|put up a request for it. <span style="display:block; font-size: 89%; margin-left:.2em"> Please search Wikipedia before creating an article to avoid duplicating an existing one, which may have a different name or spelling.</span> </span> ---8<---------------- HTML got probably enabled on en.wikipedia.org and need to be fixed.
Understood - changing to proper Wiki syntax corrected the issue. I've added a comment on the FAQ entry, since the actual en:Wikipedia entry is of course locked. Thanks for your help!
thanks for the faq
