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.

I'm trying to upgrade from MW 1.25 (yes…) to 1.41.1 and I get this error on the database tables upgrade (web frontend):

...index page_name_title already set on page table.
...skipping: index change_tag_rc_tag_id doesn't exist.
Converting djvu metadata...
An error occurred:
Error 1146: Table 'Foo.actor' doesn't exist
Function: RefreshImageMetadata::execute
Query: SELECT  img_name,img_size,img_width,img_height,img_metadata,img_bits,img_media_type,img_major_mime,img_minor_mime,img_timestamp,img_sha1,img_actor,image_actor.actor_user AS `img_user`,image_actor.actor_name AS `img_user_text`,comment_img_description.comment_text AS `img_description_text`,comment_img_description.comment_data AS `img_description_data`,comment_img_description.comment_id AS `img_description_cid`,img_metadata  FROM `image` JOIN `actor` `image_actor` ON ((actor_id=img_actor)) JOIN `comment` `comment_img_description` ON ((comment_img_description.comment_id = img_description_id))   WHERE img_major_mime = 'image' AND img_media_type = 'OFFICE'  ORDER BY img_name ASC LIMIT 1  

What can I do? The script doesn't create the table.

I created it myself according to the Gerrit change. And all the other errors like img_actor, img_description_id, missing PRIMARY KEY on templatelinks etc.

i activate numbering of paragraphs in my user preferences. Then when displaying the page itself numbering is:

Sommaire
1 2 Welcome to MediaWiki.org help pages
2.1Reading
2.2Editing
2.3Advanced editing
2.4Collaboration
2.5Personal customization
2.6Wiki administration

Strange: There is nothing between level 1 and level 2 on first line and all is under level 2.

Then making modify source + preview with a forced TOC, all is under level 1:

Sommaire
1Welcome to MediaWiki.org help pages
1.1Reading
1.2Editing
1.3Advanced editing
1.4Collaboration
1.5Personal customization

Can someone analyse and correct the display ? Thanks. --Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 09:04, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

What "page itself"? Please provide clear and full steps to reproduce something somewhere, including URLs.

it is written in the title, read the complete topic please. --Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 08:39, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

I can't log in with either my BoxRec Account or my Media Wiki account. I am trying ti upload an image to BoxRec.

@CrickCity We are not BoxRec and we have nothing to do with BoxRec. Feel free to contact BoxRec (whatever that is).

Your article States they are no longer in the US....however, for past three yrs they are in the southern tier of NY.

@Scaro44 This very website mediawiki.org does not have an article about "Asian Bees". You need to bring this up on the website that you refer to.

I'm having issues creating the common css, or any other css for that matter, I get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot declare class FileContentHandler, because the name is already in use in /var/www/domain123.com/domainxyz.com.com/fruitwiki/includes/content/CssContentHandler.php on line 0 *

• domain names have been changed

The wiki works otherwise well, editing, loging in, history, etc, I assume this is some sort of php error (from research), but where do I solve it? I should also point out that this is an older wiki 1.35.0.

Periodically I want to import a page from another wiki and choose to include templates in the export so that I don't have to manually go fetch a whole chain of things. A common use would something like Template:See Also, which brings over like 20 pages and modules along with it.

The problem is that these imports often overwrite changes to pages that I've modified (e.g. corrected wikipedia specific links). Sometimes they effectively undelete pages I've already deleted.

Is it possible protect a page against import?

Anyone?

I don't think this is currently possible, but it's an interesting idea.

Refresh can load it correctly.

When I post changes the connection will reset, even on localhost.
