Hello everyone. I want to restrict users of my site to create a page/article within 500 characters. I want to add one character counter which will count total number of characters inserted in that page from 500 to 0. How to do it ? My mediawiki version is 1.20.5 .
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where this css is coming from. I'm using the default mono book skin.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.site.com/w/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=site&only=styles&skin=monobook&*" type="text/css" media="all" />
Where is the actual css file. It's not main.css in the monobook folder because that has different css attributes.
You don't mention which version of MW you have, but I'll assume it is a recent one. Put &debug=true at the end of the url you use to load the page. That should tell ResourceLoader to load each style sheet separately and make it a little easier to track down.
If found some earlier threads about this problem, but I have not been able to reach a solution. My case is bit special as I have TWO separate mediawiki isntallations on same virtual server.
My setup
wiki.xxxx.com/it now running 1.20.5
wiki.xxxx.com/cd still on 1.5.x
if I look at working /cd main_page source I see this:
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cd/skins/common/shared.css?207" type="text/css" media="screen" />
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cd/skins/common/shared.css?207" type="text/css" media="screen" />
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cd/skins/common/commonPrint.css?207" type="text/css" media="print" />
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cd/skins/monobook/main.css?207" type="text/css" media="screen" />
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cd/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text%2Fcss&smaxage=18000&action=raw&maxage=18000" type="text/css" />
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cd/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Print.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text%2Fcss&smaxage=18000&action=raw&maxage=18000" type="text/css" media="print" />
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cd/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Monobook.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text%2Fcss&smaxage=18000&action=raw&maxage=18000" type="text/css" />
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cd/index.php?title=-&action=raw&maxage=18000&smaxage=0&ts=20130507083517&gen=css" type="text/css" />
- -->
But if I look at upgraded /it source I see only this:
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://wiki.xxxx.com/it/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint%2Cshared%7Cskins.monobook&only=styles&skin=monobook&*" />
- <style>a:lang(ar),a:lang(ckb),a:lang(fa),a:lang(kk-arab),a:lang(mzn),a:lang(ps),a:lang(ur){text-decoration:none}
- /* cache key: mediawiki_it-mw1_:resourceloader:filter:minify-css:7:efb677ba611191e9f30fad6f893ae33f */</style>
So one basic stylesheet is loaded in /it but most are missing.
I have been playing around with without any result: $wgScriptPath, $wgLoadScript, $wgServer
Also there are no errors in http error log concerning this. So how do I get skins: common/shared.css, common/commonprint.css and monobook/main.css loaded in the new version?
Try using the debug log and see if it reveals anything.
How to keep CategoryTree stayed opened after clicking any category in sidebar in Vector skin?
When I am going down in one category and subcategories (depth 5-6), after loading the specified category , the category tree is folded again. Is there any chance the tree stays opened? Please reply ASAP... How to keep nodes expaneded even after clicking any category from the tree?Any code changes to be done in Categorytree extension? It would be great to have the tree expanded to the current page after clicking any article , so that the users can get a quick impression about the location of the current article in the overall context?
I don't think this is available out of the box. If you want it added, file a bug requesting this.
If you want to try adding it (and I'm right that it isn't implemented) then you add a cookie from JS to manage the tree's state.
Please mention code changes if any is there.I referred to some websites but was of no help. http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/fr/Accueil http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/Main_Page http://wikispooks.com/wiki/Main_Page. I am using Vector skin
how do I edit the create account page on my media wiki site? i want to change the forms and include different things to stop bots from registering.
You should see Extension:ConfirmEdit to provide Captchas and the like. If you want to change the text displayed, then you can add "uselang=qqx" to the url to find the pages to modify.
I accidentally disabled the reference tooltips (clicked on the gear when it appeared over a citation); I can't get it back, even though it says it's enabled in my account settings. How do I get this back?
When you disable reference tooltips on enwiki, it sets a cookie in your browser named RTsettings. If you delete this cookie, you should be able to see the tooltips again.
You should look at the discussion pages on Reference Tooltips for more help.
Is there any way to create tables like those on the MediaWiki homepage? I'd like to be able to layout the structure of my pages using those kind of tables. Ordinary tables don't float like the others do.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but have you tried looking at the source or editing the page?
Hello all. Per a discussion at en:Wikipedia talk:Page Curation, I was wondering if someone could point me to the location in the repo for the page curation extension (not even sure if it's an actual extension). Thanks!
Hi, I am new to this wiki, how does mediawiki support multilevel navigation in sidebar. Like: Country->State->City->localitity. It is said that if we modify css and skin.php, we can achieve this, but nowhere it is specified how it is to be done. It would be very grateful if there are clear instructions provided how to do this.
Mediawiki:1.20.3 PHP: 5.20
Thanks and regards, Chary
Does $wgCapitalLinkOverrides work on the pagename level or is it only by namespace?
Will
$wgCapitalLinkOverrides[ NS_FILE:favicon.png ] = true;
(or something of the sort) work?
Hello I've just installed mediawiki on my apache web server. So far everything ran smoothly, then only thing left was for me to add image upload.
Once I enabled that image upload module I wanted to test by uploading one image. So I did successfully upload image but for some reason it wasn't displaying on my wiki page.
I went to a upload directory to see if the actual file size matches the one on my laptop and it does so I guess file upload went successful.
However once I click on the broken image to access the image directly I get a internal server error, i.e http://mydomain.com:10000/wiki/images/f/f1/test.png :
Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
When I look at the error logs this is what I see :
[Sun Mar 10 13:57:09 2013] [alert] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] /usr/share/mediawiki/images/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here, referer: http://mydomain.com:10000/wiki/index.php/File:test.png [Sun Mar 10 13:57:09 2013] [error] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] File does not exist: /var/www/html/favicon.ico [Sun Mar 10 13:58:04 2013] [alert] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] /usr/share/mediawiki/images/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here, referer: http://mydomain.com:10000/wiki/index.php/File:test.png [Sun Mar 10 13:58:04 2013] [alert] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] /usr/share/mediawiki/images/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here, referer: http://mydomain.com:10000/wiki/index.php/File:test.png [Sun Mar 10 13:58:07 2013] [alert] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] /usr/share/mediawiki/images/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here, referer: http://mydomain.com:10000/wiki/index.php/File:test.png [Sun Mar 10 13:58:07 2013] [error] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] File does not exist: /var/www/html/favicon.ico [Sun Mar 10 13:58:12 2013] [alert] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] /usr/share/mediawiki/images/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here [Sun Mar 10 13:58:12 2013] [error] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] File does not exist: /var/www/html/favicon.ico [Sun Mar 10 14:02:09 2013] [alert] [client xxx.xx.x.xxx] /usr/share/mediawiki/images/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here, referer: http://mydomain.com:10000/wiki/index.php/File:test.png
And I wonder if there is any opinions how to solve this issue?
Looks like you need to enable mod_rewrite.
I've installed the translate boundle http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Language_Extension_Bundle and upgraded to 20.2
Now I got a error after turning debugo on: includes/HTMLForm.php undefined index: api line 288
please, can you help me?
Hello.
When I installed MediaWiki I got an error, I am unsure of how to solve it. It is made to this domain: www.monovia.co.uk
Regards
Do you mean this error? Are you trying to write a custom skin?
Yes, its that error. Well, I wasn't, I just finished installing it and I got that error.
What OS are you running on? It looks like you're in the middle of setting up the wiki again, but I would check out the permissions of the directories.
If you still have trouble you can try contacting me.
Hello, which parameter is responsible for configuring the wiki as "open" or "closed" (in german: "geschlossenes Wiki")? During the installation I was unsure which option to choose and now I don't find the according parameter to change it. Can anybody help? Thanks a lot!
There are several extensions. See Preventing access
The installer "only" set some values in the variable $wgGroupPermissions differently. I guess the clou is to not allow all users (I think theat are the user groups "user" and "*") to edit the wiki. So set the according values to false (instead of true). --88.130.96.134 02:04, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Limiting the width of the entire wiki + centering OR a substitution for max-width with Chrome
- http://bg-wiki.com/bg/User_talk:Yugl#Check_2
- MediaWiki 1.17.0
- PHP 5.4.9-4~precise+1 (apache2handler)
- MySQL 5.5.28-0ubuntu0.12.04.3
We're facing a dilemma because Chrome does not limit tables to max-width value. This means we either need to find a simple alternative or limit the entire page's width. Starting with the former, we've tried <div> and that works to a degree, but our spam filter prevents using that ubiquitously. So we looked into the latter, but when we limit the page width, the edit/discussion tabs/search tabs stay the normal 100% width, so you end up with a weird display. In short,
- Is there a non-DIV max-width for Chrome?
- Can we limit the width of the entire page, including the edit/discussion/search tabs and center the entire site?
This really isn't the right place for that sort of question, but I think this question and answer on StackOverflow may help you.
When I went to the UsabilityInitiative page to download the extension, I noticed that it is not for the current release of mediawiki. Where can I find the extension matching the current release of mediawiki?
The extension no longer exists, it was an group of different experiments during development of MediaWiki 1.16, the current development cycle is MediaWiki 1.21.
Please read the notice on top of Extension:UsabilityInitiative. The different features have been extracted in to separate stand-alone extensions. Pick the ones you need and install them (the configuration is not backwards compatible, be sure to update your settings accordingly).

I am working on a asp site. It is working fine with windows 7 but after installation of media-wiki its ADODB.connection is returning null value. I have checked odbc settings for both 32 bit and 64 bit and its working fine. The error comes when ADODB try to open a connection with sql server. Can anyone help?
Can I use the API the fetch just the introduction of all the articles in a category so that I don't have to open all the links to read them.
Earlier I could do something like this by adding a list of iframes in a page with SRCs that look like "en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=query&prop=extracts&exsentences=10&titles=Sattriya". But now chrome is throwing an error "Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options". Though i could get only the unparsed html text, it was enough. Pls help..
