Removed solution
Removed this solution:
 * Try flipping ImageMagick off in LocalSettings.php and just letting Mediawiki use GD Graphics Library to convert the image.

Per information found on Manual:Image_Administration:


 * The GD library is not capable of converting SVG images to the PNG format, at least according to Joen Asmussen's June 2008 NoScope blog.

 * increase the apache maxclients setting according to the apache documentation

Error about session data lost
The "lost session data" message occurs often when preview is on in the editing page. Even if you turn previewing off, category pages will trigger the error because they try to preview the page on first edit even if previewing is turned off. A pain. The question is, why does previewing cause this error when nothing else does? --Gullion 18:31, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

The error "Your session data was lost! Check your php.ini and make sure session.save_path is set to an appropriate directory." could in my case be solved by enabling cookies for the site. --Manscher (talk) 07:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Category page is not updated or created when adding a page to it
Suggested entry:

This happens when the DB updates are not yet started/done. Look at Manual:Job queue. To speed up job execution, look at Manual:$wgJobRunRate, Manual:$wgRunJobsAsync, and Manual:$wgUpdateRowsPerJob.
