lunatechian (lunatech-ian)

Did Shakespeare inspire Douglas Adams for the answer 42?

Take thou this vial, being then in bed,
And this distilled liquor drink thou off;
When presently through all thy veins shall run
A cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse
Shall keep his native progress, but surcease:
No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest;
The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade
To paly ashes, thy eyes' windows fall,
Like death, when he shuts up the day of life;
Each part, deprived of supple government,
Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death:
And in this borrow'd likeness of shrunk death
Thou shalt continue
two and forty hours,
And then awake as from a pleasant sleep.
— Shakespeare, Act 4, Scene 1.

The problem with MediaWiki is not the lack of documentation, but the lack of well organized documentation. Here is a useful bit of information I found out. Suppose you want to change the sidebar that appears in the MediaWiki site (the one of the left, which has some navigation links in it). You can do that by going to the MediaWiki:Sidebar page i.e. suppose that your wiki is installed on http://example.org, then your sidebar will be accessiable by going to http://example.org/index.php/MediaWiki:Sidebar . To edit that page, you have to be logged in as a WikiSysop
