Help:Block and unblock

2008-07-23T18:06:37Z

Admin: /* Blocking options */

[[Help:Administration|Sysops]] can '''block and unblock''' IP addresses, and registered user accounts if username blocking is enabled ([[#enabling username blocking|see below]]), from editing, uploading files, [[move|moving]] pages, and, if they have been granted such rights, protecting/unprotecting and deleting/undeleting pages. It is important to remember that blocks are preventative, rather than punitive.

==Blocking==

Blocks are applied via the form at the [[Help:Special page|special page]] [[Special:Blockip]]. There are several steps to applying a block:

# '''Specify the IP address or user to be blocked'''. Enter the IP address to be blocked, or the name of the registered user account to be blocked, in the "User" field of the form. Note that nonexistent usernames can also be blocked, so be certain you have the correct username. You can also block a range of IP addresses; see [[:mw:Help:Range blocks|range blocks]] for instructions.
# '''Specify a duration for the block'''. You can select a predefined duration from the drop down box labelled "Expiry", or you can enter a custom value, using the [http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Date-input-formats.html GNU standard format], in the "Other time" field. If the duration given is "indefinite", then the block will not expire, although the IP address or user account may still be unblocked by a sysop.
# '''Specify a reason for the block (optional).''' This reason will be displayed to the blocked user if they attempt to edit a page.

Click "block this user" to apply the block. All blocks are recorded in the [[Special:Log/block|block log]], and all currently active blocks are listed at the [[Special:Ipblocklist|list of active blocks]].

Note that in addition to manually entering the IP address or user account to be blocked into [[Special:Blockip]], you may also follow the "Block this user" link from the toolbox in the [[mw:Manual:Navigation bar|sidebar]] when viewing the "User" or "User talk" page of the IP address or user account. You can also click on the "block" link next following an IP address or user account name in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes list]].

===Blocking options===

Several extra blocking options were added in version 1.8 of MediaWiki, which are enabled by checking a check box on the blocking form.

;Block anonymous users only (also called ''softblocking''): This option changes the effect of a block when blocking an IP address. When it is enabled, the block will only affect anonymous users editing from that IP address; registered users editing from that IP address will not be affected. The option has no effect on a block of a registered user, but does on an autoblock caused by it.

;Block account creation: This option changes the effect of a block when blocking a user or an IP address. When it is enabled, the registration of new user accounts from that IP address will be disabled while the block is in effect.

;Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent addresses they try to edit from (also called ''hardblocking''): This option changes the effect of a block when blocking a registered user account. When it is enabled, the IP address most recently used by the account, and any IP addresses that the account subsequently attempts to edit from will be automatically blocked.

==Unblocking==

An IP address or registered user account can be unblocked via the [[Special:Ipblocklist|list of active blocks]]. Find the IP address or registered user account you wish to unblock in the list (you can enter the address or name in the "search" field to help you find the entry), and click the "Unblock" link displayed to the right of the block's expiry time.

This will lead you to a confirmation page. Enter the reason for unblocking (optional) in the "reason" field, and click "unblock this address" to remove the block. All unblockings are recorded in the [[Special:Log/Block|block log]].

Note that if a range is blocked, then the unblock must cover the whole range to be effective. Attempting to unblock an individual IP address in the range will not be effective.

==Effects of being blocked==

Blocked users may still read pages, but they may not create, edit or move pages, or upload files. Users with certain other [[:mw:Help:User rights|user rights]] will not be able to use those rights when they are blocked; for example, users with the rights to delete and undelete or protect and unprotect pages will not be able to do so when they are blocked. However, users with the rights to block and unblock users will still be able to do so when they are blocked.

Users who are blocked and attempt to edit a page (or move a page, or upload a file) will see the [[MediaWiki:Blockedtext|"user is blocked" message]] informing them that they have been blocked.

If the autoblock option has been enabled with respect to a block, and the blocked user attempts to edit (or move a page, or upload a file), the IP address being used by that user will also be blocked.

==Configuration settings related to blocking==

===Enabling username blocking===

The ability for sysops to block registered user accounts is enabled by default since version 1.4.1. It may be enabled or disabled using the [[mw:Manual:$wgSysopUserBans|<tt>$wgSysopUserBans</tt>]] setting in your [[mw:Manual:LocalSettings.php|LocalSettings.php]].

If a sysop tries to block a registered user account and this setting is not enabled, then an error message will be displayed, informing the sysop that the "IP Address does not exist".

===Enabling IP range blocking===

The ability for sysops to perform range blocks is enabled by default since version 1.4.1. It may be enabled or disabled using the [[mw:Manual:$wgSysopRangeBans|<tt>$wgSysopRangeBans</tt>]] setting in your [[mw:Manual:LocalSettings.php|LocalSettings.php]].

$G

2008-07-23T00:11:42Z

Admin:

{{wikify}}
GfxTools a.k.a $G is a software development framework for keeping projects organized and usable over time. Several of its key goals are:
# Standardization - using a common development framework makes it a lot easier for folks within our group to pitch in with development, use tools others have created, pick up someone else's project after he/she graduates, and make sure that your own project lives on after you graduate.
# Dependable demos and software libraries - $G provides an environment where software libraries and demos can be installed and used by the group.
# Easy cross-platform development - $G utilizes the same software organization and Makefiles across multiple development platforms.
# Source control for software projects - $G uses CVS to manage source projects.

Here's how it works: Whenever you start a shell, the environment variable "G" is set to point to the root of the $G directory tree. To change directories to go there, you would type "cd $G", hence the name "$G". The directory that $G points is actually different depending on the architecture of the machine that you are on, this means that you can trust that everything within $G/bin will run on your machine. Likewise, libraries in $G/lib are compiled for your machine/OS, etc..

There is a Unix-like directory structure within $G. Here's a description of the directories you will find inside each architecture specific $G tree:

* $G/bin: Installed executables and scripts.
* $G/data: A symlink to a data directory that is common amoung all the $G trees. Sci-vis data is organized and stored inside here.
* $G/doc: Project documentation in non-man format. Typically, html generated from javadoc or doxygen, README files for demos, etc..
* $G/help: Contains $G specific documentation, like this webpage.
* $G/lib: Installed libraries, shared libraries, and program resource files like config files, icons, sounds, etc.. inside project specific subdirectories.
* $G/man: Project documentation in unix man page format.
* $G/src: CVS controlled projects in subdirectories.

Install 3rd-party programs or libraries

2008-07-23T00:01:12Z

Admin:

A lot of great software has been written by people not in our group, and it's to our advantage to be able to make use of it. This HOWTO explains how to install a 3rd-party project (that is, a program or library) into [[$G]] so that everyone in the group can use it. This is easiest if you can get a simple source tree for the project, but we can even deal with complicated source trees and binary-only projects.

'''Remember to never copy files directly into <code>$G</code>!''' Everything in <code>$G</code> should get there by being checked into CVS.

==Install a simple source tree==
In this case, installing a 3rd-party project is identical to checking in and installing one you wrote yourself.
# Copy the source tree into any directory of your choice (''not'' in <code>$G</code> but somewhere in your homedir). Remember to make sure the tree is clean; no object files or other binaries.
# [[Put your code into CVS in $G|Import the project into CVS as normal]].
# Modify the Makefile that came with the project so that <code>make all</code> builds the project locally and <code>make install</code> puts executables into <code>$G/bin</code>, headers into <code>$G/include</code>, libraries into <code>$G/lib</code>, and documentation into <code>$G/man</code>.
# Check in and commit your changes to the Makefile, and you're done!

==Install a complicated source tree==
In some rare situations, you can't put all the project's source into our CVS tree. In this case, the goal is to package everything you've got up into a <code>.zip</code> file and make the build and install scripts temporarily unpack the source tree.
# If you already have a <code>.zip</code> file for the source tree, continue on. If not, use the <code>zip</code> command to create an archive.
# Move the <code>.zip</code> file into its own directory and create a Makefile there.
#* The <code>all</code> target should unzip the archive and build it.
#* The <code>install</code> target should copy the resulting executables, headers, libraries, and documentation into <code>$G/bin</code>, <code>$G/include</code>, <code>$G/lib</code>, and <code>$G/man</code> respectively.
# Move the <code>.zip</code> file somewhere else temporarily and [[Put your code into CVS in $G|import the project into CVS as normal]] with just the Makefile in the directory.
# Move the <code>.zip</code> file into the appropriate <code>$G/src/<projname></code> directory, check it in with <code>cvs add -kb <archivename></code>, and then commit.

Here's an example Makefile for the NIFTI medical image format library:
all:
unzip -ou nifti.zip
# nifti.zip has a
cd src; make all

install: all
cd src; make doc
cp src/bin/* $(G)/bin
cp -rf src/lib $(G)/lib/nifti
cp -rf src/include $(G)/include/nifti
cp -rf src/docs/html $G/shared/man/nifti

===Advanced: use <code>wget</code>===
Sometimes it makes sense to have the build and install scripts just download the project directly, rather than checking an archive into our CVS. Be careful about doing this, as versions and URLs change over time.

Rather than download the project's <code>.zip</code> file yourself and then check that in, you can add a <code>wget</code> command to the Makefile to download it, and then unzip, build, and install it as above.

Here's an optional <code>download</code> target that could be appended to the Makefile above and added to the <code>all</code> step:
download:
rm -rf src nifti.zip
wget -rq --reject "*.html*" --nH --cut-dirs=2 <nowiki>http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/src/</nowiki>
zip -r nifti.zip src
rm -rf src

==Install binary files directly==
If you don't even have a <code>.zip</code> file of the source tree for a project, then you have no other choice but to put the actual binary library file into CVS.
# Put all the binaries you want to install into their own directory.
# Create a Makefile in that directory that will respond to <code>make all</code> and <code>make install</code>.
#* For <code>make all</code> you can just print out "Nothing to do for this project."
#* For <code>make install</code>, use <code>gfxinstall3</code> to install the files in the proper places in <code>$G</code>.
# Now move the binaries out of the directory and import the directory into CVS.
# Copy the binaries into the new <code>$G/src/<projectname></code> directory, add each one with <code>cvs add -kb <filename></code>, and then commit.

Category:HOWTO

2008-07-22T00:38:32Z

Admin:

This [[Help:Categories|category]] contains pages describing step-by-step procedures for getting common tasks done. There are a number of tasks that just about every researcher in our group has to do at least once. Choosing a project, writing software and papers, presenting your work, finding a job: all of these tasks are easier with a little guidance. Each HOWTO is an article devoted to a single task and describes in plain language the best way to accomplish it. Keep in mind that the audience for a HOWTO is a complete beginner; the reason someone is reading the article is because they don't know what they're doing. Any document that meets this description belongs in this category.

To add a page to this category, include the code <tt><nowiki>[[Category:HOWTO]]</nowiki></tt> somewhere in its source code, preferably at the bottom.

Help:Starting a new page

2008-07-22T00:36:51Z

Admin: /* Using Wikilinks */

{{PD Help Page}}
There are several ways to start a new page.

== Using Wikilinks ==
MediaWiki makes it very easy to link wiki pages using a standard syntax (see [[Help:Links|Links]]). If you (or anyone else) creates a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be coloured red, <span style="color: #ba0000">like this</span>.

Clicking a red link will take you to the edit page for the new article. Simply type your text, click save and the new page will be created.

Once the page has been created, the link will change from <span style="color: #ba0000">red</span> to <span style="color: #002bb8;">blue</span> (<span style="color: #5a3696;">purple</span> for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists.

Usually this is the best way to create a new page, because it means that right from the start, the page will be linked from at least one other place on the wiki (and typically you will want to mesh it into other related pages later) If you are creating a new page without creating any link to it, you may need to ask yourself: Does this page really fit in with the topics already covered in the wiki? Also, how are you expecting visitors to find this page? Normally there is no reason to create a page without first creating a red link to it.

== Using the URL ==
You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:
*<code><nowiki>http://www.example.net/index.php/</nowiki>'''ARTICLE'''</code>    or
*<code><nowiki>http://www.example.net/wiki/</nowiki>'''ARTICLE'''</code>

If you replace <code>'''ARTICLE'''</code> with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. Clicking the "''edit''" [[Help:Navigation#Page Tabs|page tab]] at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit.

== From the search page ==
If you search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box and 'go' button on the left of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page. (Note that this technique doesn't work if you use the 'search' button).

{{Admin tip|tip=The "{{mediawiki|Extension:Inputbox|inputbox extension}}" allows you to provide an even easier way for your users to create new pages}}

== Create redirects to your new page ==
Don't forget to setup redirects when you create a page. If you think another person may search for the page you've created by using a different name or spelling, please create the proper redirect(s). See [[Help:Redirects]]

== Protecting your new page ==
Normally a new wiki page can be edited by other people (that ''is'' one of the main ideas of a wiki!) However, you could 'protect' the page, if desired, to prevent normal users from editing it. This requires sysop permissions.

This [[Help:Categories|category]] contains pages about the research projects currently or previously undertaken by our group. Any given research project may encompass several papers and software projects, all of which should be briefly described in the project's page. One of the major purposes of our wiki is software documentation, so each software tool (or reasonable group of small utilities) should have its own project page with user and programmer documentation.

To add a page to this category, include the code <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Projects]]</nowiki></tt> somewhere in its source code, preferably at the bottom.

$G

2008-07-21T23:32:42Z

Admin:

GfxTools a.k.a $G is a software development framework for keeping projects organized and usable over time. Several of its key goals are:
# Standardization - using a common development framework makes it a lot easier for folks within our group to pitch in with development, use tools others have created, pick up someone else's project after he/she graduates, and make sure that your own project lives on after you graduate.
# Dependable demos and software libraries - $G provides an environment where software libraries and demos can be installed and used by the group.
# Easy cross-platform development - $G utilizes the same software organization and Makefiles across multiple development platforms.
# Source control for software projects - $G uses CVS to manage source projects.

Here's how it works: Whenever you start a shell, the environment variable "G" is set to point to the root of the $G directory tree. To change directories to go there, you would type "cd $G", hence the name "$G". The directory that $G points is actually different depending on the architecture of the machine that you are on, this means that you can trust that everything within $G/bin will run on your machine. Likewise, libraries in $G/lib are compiled for your machine/OS, etc..

There is a Unix-like directory structure within $G. Here's a description of the directories you will find inside each architecture specific $G tree:

* $G/bin: Installed executables and scripts.
* $G/data: A symlink to a data directory that is common amoung all the $G trees. Sci-vis data is organized and stored inside here.
* $G/doc: Project documentation in non-man format. Typically, html generated from javadoc or doxygen, README files for demos, etc..
* $G/help: Contains $G specific documentation, like this webpage.
* $G/lib: Installed libraries, shared libraries, and program resource files like config files, icons, sounds, etc.. inside project specific subdirectories.
* $G/man: Project documentation in unix man page format.
* $G/src: CVS controlled projects in subdirectories.
