Hello!

I run a Wiki for an amateur songwriting competition at:

http://www.homecomposed.net/wiki/

MediaWiki     1.39.3

PHP     8.1.17 (cgi-fcgi)

MySQL     8.0.28-0ubuntu0.20.04.3

ICU     60.2

It stopped working properly a few weeks ago, so I upgraded from MediaWiki 1.26.3 to 1.35.10 without problems and everything was fine.

I then came back to it on Friday in order to upgrade further to 1.39.3.

Unfortunately, having done that (incl. running the update script in a browser), some pages now load as they should, whereas many others return "Error: Call to a member function getNamespaces() on null".

For example, the full error report for http://www.homecomposed.net/wiki/index.php?title=Home_Composed_Song_Contest_1994 is as follows:

[ZHNoFVjgJfmtun3AUscyrAAATq4] /wiki/index.php?title=Home_Composed_Song_Contest_1994 Error: Call to a member function getNamespaces() on null

Whereas pages like this are working fine, for example: http://www.homecomposed.net/wiki/index.php?title=Netherlands_in_the_Home_Composed_Song_Contest

Can anyone give me any ideas as to why this might have happened and how it could be fixed? Thanks!

Sounds like a bug in Html5mediator extension. Maybe the extension isn't compatible with 1.39, or maybe it needs to be updated to a new version.

Thank you! Html5mediator is indeed no longer supported, which is a bummer, but there we go.

I've removed it and the problematic pages do at least work again now, albeit with the Html5mediator code showing, so that's certainly a big step forward.

Unfortunately the supported alternatives (e.g. MP3MediaHandler, TimedMediaHandler) don't seem to allow the embedding of externally hosted audio files, which is what I was using Html5mediator for, so I guess I can look forward to a lot of time spent uploading mp3s in my near future...

Nevertheless, the biggest part of the problem is solved, so thanks again for that!

I was looking for a workflow on the MediaWiki instance.

There should be editors and Approvers, Approvers should be able to receive with in wiki notifications when there are new page creations or page edits from editors, and there should be warnings displayed on pages saying page is under review and once the Approvers approve the page or edit it be normal.

Catch here is there will be multiple editor and Approver groups, like Editor1, Editor2 and Approver1 and Approver2.

Will be happy to provide any additional inputs if needed.

Maybe extension:flaggedRevisions

Hi all, In -> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/Section_translation#Entry_points rather than redefining an ALT for the images of the gallery, I would like to retrieve the descriptions already translated on Commons. This way the translation work in centralized and done once only. For example for first image -> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Sx-language-selector-invite-th.png , I would like to get the FR text from the description/fr:

 
{{Information
|'''description'''={{en|1=Section Translation is surfaced on mobile when switching into languages where the content is not available yet so that users can translate it.}}
{{'''fr'''|1=La traduction de section est disponible sur les mobiles lorsque l'on passe à des langues pour lesquelles le contenu n'est pas encore disponible ce qui permet au utilisateurs de le traduire.}}

Is that possible ? Thanks. Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 13:23, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Try the extmetadata prop in api. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bimageinfo

Hi!

I'm interested how it works, to use the same picture as background and foreground.

MySQL	8.0.24
ICU	70.1
Lua	5.1.5
Pygments	2.11.2

I'm not sure how to resolve this problem, and I need help. Thanks a lot!

Sounds like a bug in extension:Lingo

I resolved it by removing the following line from LocalSettings.php

wfLoadExtension( 'Lingo' );

I'll report this error to Extension_talk:Lingo anyway

I feel like i've heard this error message before, but i could be mistaken. I would also suggest trying the latest version of lingo to see if it got fixed recently.

This is the error message that i got.

Setting up database

done

Creating tables, step one

Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1618 of /var/www/html/iwswiki/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: Error 3161: Storage engine MyISAM is disabled (Table creation is disallowed).

Function: Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database::sourceFile( /var/www/html/iwswiki/maintenance/tables-generated.sql )

si_text MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL,

UNIQUE INDEX si_page (si_page),

FULLTEXT INDEX si_title (si_title),

FULLTEXT INDEX si_text (si_text)

) ENGINE = MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8

isnt this database version supported?

I changed to innodb in tables-generated.sql and it looks ok but idont know if this breaks anything

CREATE TABLE /*_*/searchindex (

  si_page INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,

  si_title VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,

  si_text MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL,

  UNIQUE INDEX si_page (si_page),

  FULLTEXT INDEX si_title (si_title),

  FULLTEXT INDEX si_text (si_text)

) ENGINE = innodb DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8;

It should be fine. It is myisam by default for that table because old versions of mysql did not support fulltext indexes on innodb tables, and nobody ever changed mediawiki after support was added to mysql.

Hi!

I've got my hands on an external wiki. after updating it to 1.39 i can't edit the mainpage, also the preferences (user settings) of the admin account are all grey and not usable.

Greetings

Why can't you edit the main page? What does happen?

There is no "edit" button. I only can see the source code. Other pages i can edit.

The mainpage must be locked, but i have no permission to unlock it.

As Admin, i'm within the sysop & bureaucrat group.

If you go to view source, is there a message on it explaining why you can only view source?

"You do not have permission to edit this page for the following reason:

This page has been protected to prevent editing and other actions."

If i try to unprotect the page, i've got the error:

"You do not have the permission."

But why? I'm User #1 with SysOP & Buraeaucrat permissions.

In the LocalSettings the permissions for both is okay.

Same goes for the settings.

LocalSettings permissions are all ok, but nothing can be edited.

All is outlined and non clickable.

If you look at the page Special:listgrpuprights on your wiki, are the rights what you think they are? Do admins have editprotected rights?

Ah, that was the mistake. The admins don't have the editprotect rights. Thanks.

So, i only must get the the settings usable. Any ideas? Lacking rights?

They have editprotected rights by default, so I would suggest removing the config taking away those rights.
