Creating new article in 1.6.8

I just upgraded from mediawiki 1.4b6 to 1.6.8.

Apparently the syntax for creating a new article has
changed.   I've  
been searching release note and using google to try to find
the new  
syntax, but no luck.  I've tried various things but none
work.

Anyone here have any quick pointers?

My search results page (MediaWiki:Nogomatch) includes the
code

[[:<nowiki>$1</nowiki>|create an article with
this title]]

which used to manifest as a link on the results page to
create a new  
article.  Now the brackets display instead of working. 
Tried <a  
href.. tags as well, but that had the same problem.

Advthanks,

- Hiawatha

I believe the name of the message has changed; check
"noexactmatch" or
something like. The message itself is now supposed to handle
the colon
part.

Hello everyone,

I've been looking for a way to customize the way our Wiki
works.

The first thing I had in mind was disabling the toolbox,
either for everyone
or for certain groups.  Maybe also disable the navigation
for certain
groups, I already have it disabled/empty.

Another thing I've been searching for is how to add an
article to a specific
namespace, and only that namespace.  I've read that
namespaces are an easy
way to make the wiki more like a content management system,
by restricting
certain namespaces to certain groups.

The third thing I've been trying to do is to figure out how
to disable
customizing your preferences and only allowing an admin to
do so.

Right now, I have restrictions on who can edit, create, etc.
 I'm also
looking at a plug-in for adding articles to a "restrict
by group" via a tab
similar to edit, watch, delete etc.

I've been looking for most of these topics over the last few
days, but I've
also been looking at other things as well.  If anyone could
point me in the
right direction, that would be excellent!!!

Thanks
Wayne
