anglebracketsIn PHP prior to version 5.2.9 there is an incompatibility with libxml2 versions 2.7.0?2.7.2. This causes the very noticable issue of angle brackets, < and >, being stripped on Export and Import from Mediawiki. Upgrading PHP to at least 5.2.9 and libxml2 to 2.7.3 OR downgrading libxml2 to a version prior to the 2.7.x series fixes this issue. More info: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45996

anonnoticeAnonnotice is a wiki-wide message viewable by all logged out users at the top of every page.

Anonnotice is editable by sysops at [[MediaWiki:Anonnotice]]. See also: !sitenotice

externaleditorMediaWiki allows editing with external tools by sending control files when you request to edit. See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:External_editors>. Browsers not configured properly may ask you to download those files so you're unable to edit with "action=edit" only. To avoid it, go to your preferences and set it as a non-default edit action: Preferences ? Editing ? "Use external editor by default".

installInstalling MediaWiki takes between 10 and 30 minutes, and involves uploading/copying files and running the installer script to configure the software. Full instructions can be found in the INSTALL file supplied in the distribution archive. An installation manual can also be found at <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation>. See also: !download
installlinux"Install Linux, problem solved," is not advice. Though, this is probably preferable to Windows + IIS...
installmacosxTelling someone to get a Mac isn't much more helpful than telling them to use Linux (but it's still better than Windows + IIS).
instantcommonsInstantCommons is a feature for MediaWiki 1.16+ that allows any MediaWiki installation to use media on the Wikimedia Commons. This has basically been realized via $wgForeignFileRepos. See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos>. If you're only looking to use images from Wikimedia Commons and no other wikis, you can use the shortcut setting $wgUseInstantCommons to true.
interfaceYou can edit the text which appears in most parts of the interface by editing the right pages in the MediaWiki: namespace. See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:System_message>

interwikiInterwiki links are links between wikis. For instance, on Wikibooks, [[w:Article name]] or [[wikipedia:Article name]] will link to a Wikipedia article.

tidyHTML Tidy is an external application that cleans up HTML for XHTML compliance (such as bad user input like <table><tr></td></table>). Prior to the new preprocessor in 1.12 it was also needed for distributed, transcluded, or conditional HTML, or mixed HTML and wikitables, but newer versions allow it without Tidy. See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUseTidy>
tidyforidiots1. Go into LocalSettings.php 2. Add $wgUseTidy = true; in there somewhere 3. Commit 4. Enjoy
timezoneFor help with configuring timezones in MediaWiki, please consult <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Timezone>.
tocTOC stands for "table of contents". A TOC is shown on every wiki page that is long enough to need one. One can force wiki to show TOC on a page by adding __TOC__ to the wikicode; also, one can prevent a TOC to be shown on a page by adding __NOTOC__ to the page code.
toolserverThe Wikimedia Toolserver is a cluster of servers that provide free Unix hosting for Wikimedia users and researchers and includes access to copies of the live wiki databases. Access is granted on request on a case-by-case basis. See https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Main_Page for more info and https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Category:Tools for a list of documented tools.
tooquietYes, #mediawiki has a lot of people idling. If they were all talking, there'd be no on-topic discussions at all. The channel can be social but is in no way required to be. If you take offense at the silence, you may wish to find a more social channel. If you need help, just ask, and please don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time, see !ask
transclusionTransclusion is a general MediaWiki term for including things into a page using double-brace "{{}}" markup. This can be things like templates, pages in other namespaces, variables, output of parser functions, some Special pages, interwiki pages, and such. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Transclusion for an overview.

wikiA wiki is a collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone with access to it. Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work". Wikipedia is one of the best known wikis.

worstcaseGenerally, the worst that can happen is that someone compromises your site, steals your data, deletes it and replaces it with kiddy porn. Then they start a spam service on your server advertising the kiddy porn to twenty million email addresses, daily. Then your home gets raided, you get fired and your wife leaves you. Then you get killed in your sleep by ninjas.
