Before you post

• Check the FAQ and Errors and symptoms .
• If your question is about a specific feature, check the relevant technical manual , end-user help or extension page and consider asking on its talk page .
• For issues about the mediawiki.org website, report to Village Pump instead.
• Ask technical questions about Wikimedia websites on meta:Tech instead.

Post a new question

1. To help us answer your questions, please indicate which version of MediaWiki you are using, as found on your wiki's Special:Version page:
2. If possible, add $wgShowExceptionDetails = true;error_reporting( -1 );ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); to LocalSettings.php in order to make MediaWiki show more detailed error messages.
3. Please include the web address (URL) to your wiki if possible. It's often easier for us to identify the source of the problem if we can see the error directly.
4. To start a new thread, click the box with the text "Start a new topic".

Since I can't access the MediaWiki:Common.css for some reason, not sure why, I figured I can just edit the real one, but which file is that exactly, like where is it?

I think you have the wrong conceptual model. There is no "real" one.

If you want to edit it from commandline, use edit.php

Hello I am a beginner contributor on mediawiki and I have errors on the installation of extensions my mediawiki I installed with compose. now I can not do: php update.php

Please include what errors you have. Please explain what you mean by not being able to do update.php (i.e. what is stopping you).

error update.php

When I update, the process does not run to completion

Are you running this script on the same host as your mediawiki is on?

yes

I've installed everything with composer, but I don't know if I need to change port to update.

That wasn't the question I asked...

Sollen Punkte für Google, Apple, OSM oder andere Karten verwendet werden, dann ist eine Transformation erforderlich als das die Funktion Point.ToWKT zur Verfügung stellt.

Beispiel aus Template:Siehe

In args.Point ist der abgegriffene Punkt enthalten.

Dim Point As New Mum.Geo.Geometry.Point

If Not args.Canceled Then
  Point = args.Point

  'Wenn Sie Koordinaten via den Map.GetXXX Funktioen holen
  'erzeugen sie zuerst mit Clone eine Kopie der Geometry, weil mit der Transformation ansonsten Point nicht mehr die GK-Koordinaten enthält.
  Dim geom As Mum.Geo.Geometry.Point = Point.Clone

  'Transformieren der Koordinaten
  'Aktuellens Koordinaten System der Karte holen
  Dim sourceEpsg As String = Me.Application.Project.Map.SRS

  'Ziel System angeben
  Dim targetEpsg As String = "EPSG:4326"
  Mum.Geo.Application.CoordinateTransformation.Transform(sourceEpsg, targetEpsg, geom)

Else
  _EBLog.LogAndMsgBox("Es wurde kein Punkt gewählt!")
End If

Huh. LocalSettings.php looks normal.

Pages count not showing in account creation page https://vp.ftp.sh/FS/Special:CreateAccount but showing correct count in the Special:Statistics. What to do?

Perhaps you want to adjust $wgArticleCountMethod

@Titpup We have no such page on this wiki, as this wiki is about the MediaWiki software package, You would need to seek assistance on the wiki you are trying to edit.

We have a template which places .gif images like this

https://www.astro.com/im/sym/s_su.18.gif

In the html page rendering, it appears as

<img src="https://www.astro.com/im/sym/s_su.18.gif" alt="s_su.18.gif">

I would like to replace the .gif image with a .svg image like this

https://www.astro.com/im/sym/s_su.18.svg

but that is rendered into

<a class="external free" href="https://www.astro.com/im/sym/s_su.18.svg">https://www.astro.com/im/sym/s_su.18.svg</a>

How can I have it rendered the same way as a gif image?

It's because core doesn't know svg as an image format for external images. It is not listed in EXT_IMAGE_REGEX of the Parser, only: gif,png,jpg,jpeg. This regex probably could use an update, please file a ticket in Phabricator to ask for this functionality.

(obligatory note about potential dangers of allowing your editors to include images from the internet)

Thank you so much. I patched EXT_IMAGE_REGEX in ./parser/Parser.php

I do not know how to file a ticket.

Our wiki is not open to random editors, only a small trusted group can edit.
