Daniel,

That really is a strange matter. mapbender.org and wiki.osgeo.org are 
the same mediawiki versions. But different settings are surely used - 
I'm going to compare both LocalSettings.php with each other as soon as 
possible.

mediawiki.org itself even uses 1.8alpha!


mapbender.org and wiki.osgeo.org are on quite different machines. First 
is a debian sarge with php4.3 in a XEN environment and the second is a 
Ubuntu using php5.0.

Indeed, it could be lots of things ;-). To bad. I'm checking the 
LocalSettings.php first.

I'll let you know.

Best,
Ben
