Knowledge BaseI'm not sure, but I think this is enabled now. Feel free to ping me if not.
This would be an awful lot of pages to rename, though...
![]() It looks like the lower case change breaks links to another KB article when just the article name is specified and it doesn't have a dash in it. It doesn't appear to break a link to another article if you also specify a display name. Links to external web pages (not a KB article) aren't effected.
I had to replace [[MozBackup]] with [[MozBackup | MozBackup]] , [[profiles.ini]] with [[Profiles.ini_file | profiles.ini]] and [[profile folder]] with [[Profile_folder | profile folder]] in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup to fix several broken links. [[Profile folder - Firefox]] , [[Profile folder - Thunderbird]] and [[Profile folder - SeaMonkey]] did not break. The previous change to that article had been October 6, 2013. I just had to replace [[profile folder]] with [[Profile_folder | profile folder]] in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls . I didn't edit any other articles yet. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Special:Version states we are using version 1.6.8 of MediaWiki. That was released 2006-07-08. The latest version is 1.24.1 (released on 2014-12-17). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version states Wikipedia is using 1.25wmf14 (156d214) 08:08, 3 February 2015 of MediaWiki. I assume that is a nightly build. Perhaps we need to update to the latest released version of MediaWiki. I've tried the upgrade a few times, and it just fails so I think we're stuck. I will turn off lowercase for now, PM me if we want it back.
Besides breaking links like [[profile folder]], [[mimeTypes.rdf]] [[about:config]] and [[about: plugins]], templates were also broken, such as the warning at the top of plugin articles and the templates to place images on the right. I edited a couple of articles that were affected, http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash when I first noticed the problem but stopped there since there are too many articles that use such links and templates to fix them all.
Thanks for turning off lowercase. Alice Wyman
Hello!
I am currently looking into s/mime and x509 certificates. While checking your page http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_an_SMIME_certificate I found a few old links: CAcert OK GlobalSign apparently has no longer free email-certificates Secorio link for free email certificates is now https://secure.comodo.net/products/fron ... 9&days=365 So they are part of comodo now. Start.com OK TC TrustCenter is no longer operating Verisign: the free certificate is only valid for 25 days Merged to KB theard

The aforementioned preference no longer exists (which is duly mentioned in the article). Please create a new article for the current preference, browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external, and add it to the about:config entries article as well. https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/…firefox.js#l435 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked#Conventional_popups
It would be preferable to link to a reviewed extension on the Firefox Add-ons site rather than a third-party site. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/strict-pop-up-blocker/
Adblock was abandoned years ago and is no longer listed on the Firefox Add-ons site. The sentence between parentheses doesn't make any sense and the link is invalid.
Installing Adblock Plus automatically subscribes you to EasyList; there's no point in telling people to do that manually.
First of all, the extension was renamed to “Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus” a long time ago. Secondly, it has nothing to do with blocking pop-up windows. That's what Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon is for. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_plugins
That link is dead, it just redirects to some generic support page that doesn't appear to test for Windows Media Player plugin. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries
Step 4, for the mac should also include "Shift + Backspace" as 'Delete' does not work on extended keyboards. (--http://kb.mozillazine.org/Special:Userlogin) Hmm, is 'that thread' this one? Anyway, here is the correction http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_and ... _your_mail references http://homepages.tesco.net./~J.deBoyneP ... rmats.html which appears to be dead (server reset) According to the internet wayback machine, it has been that way for years. Ah, but thank you wayback, at one point when the page still existed, it mentions that frequently given answers have moved. Follow that trail, and both wayback and right-now-in-the-present we find: http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan. ... rmats.html The http://kb.mozillazine.org/ is down in case kerz gets a email about this or if a mod wants to ping kerz by email.
Hi,
I don't have a mozillaZine account nor a mozillaZine Knowledge Base account. I'd like to have a KB account to edit a little bit about the email clients based on Mozilla Thunderbird. Can I got one, please? Thanks in advance.
It is not our practice to grant new members of the forum edit access to the Knowledge Base. As I'm sure you can understand, there are too many individuals interested in taking advantage of such opportunities for us to immediately grant edit access to everyone that requests it. If you see something that should be changed/added please post the entire text (as a reply to this thread) for the requested change so that a moderator can can review the proposed change and update the entry if appropriate. Thanks for your understanding. Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.
I like poetry, long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick. Please do not PM me for personal support. Keep posts here in the Forums instead and we all learn.
That was our old policy. See the first post in this thread for the current policy. There were very good reasons for the old policy but the side effect was we stopped getting any new knowledge base editors. Please sign up for a MozillaZine forum account, login using that account, and add a post to this thread stating why you want the knowledge base account ("to edit http://kb.mozillazine.org/Email_clients ... hunderbird"). If you do that I'll create a KB account for you and send you a private message with the password.
