Updated to 1.28 today and i cannot get the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi working
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I used the 1.28.0 downloadable tar.gz file from the official download page.
I am running on FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p3
The wiki is working normally after upgrade in that it shows all my pages, files, etc. However, all my highlights in bash, perl, python, etc. are showing up like <pre> sections instead of with colors like they normally did before the upgrade. Here is the output of my Version page:

I have made sure the pygmentize binary is executable and i've run it myself with -V and got version 1.21 which is in the 1.28.0 mediawiki tar.gz.
Does anyone have any idea of anything I might have missed?
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
echo -ne "ada0 : " && smartctl -a /dev/ada0 | grep Temp | awk '{ print $10 }'
echo -ne "ada1 : " && smartctl -a /dev/ada1 | grep Temp | awk '{ print $10 }'
echo -ne "ada2 : " && smartctl -a /dev/ada2 | grep Temp | awk '{ print $10 }'
echo -ne "ada3 : " && smartctl -a /dev/ada3 | grep Temp | awk '{ print $10 }'
echo -ne "ada4 : " && smartctl -a /dev/ada4 | grep Temp | awk '{ print $10 }'
echo -ne "ada5 : " && smartctl -a /dev/ada5 | grep Temp | awk '{ print $10 }'
</syntaxhighlight>
RESULT:

Problem with autoload file.
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi,
After updating to 1.28 file "autoload.php" every few minutes automatically changes the file name to "autoload.php.off.php" and displays a blank page. How to fix it?
Edit: The interesting thing is that on the local host (xampp) everythings works very well. I don't know what's going on. PHP Info http://bit(dot)ly/2gKGZzz
Regards Henry NH35 (talk) 03:19, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- I think it has to do something from the server side because for security purposes some restrictions are put on .php files to stop them from being executed etc.
- .htaccess code might give some clue if the hosting service isn't the one automatically putting some restrictions. I would suggest asking the hosting service. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 05:06, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Question about sorting
Is it - or will it be - possible for other extensions such as Semantic MediaWiki to use $wgCategoryCollation and rely on options such as <tt>uca-default</tt>, etc. for their own listings (rather than just MW's native category listings)? Any hooks that can be used, for instance? Cavila 09:35, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Problems with SyntaxHighlight Extension
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I have some questions. In mediawiki sandbox when you create a block code (with Visual Editor) you have suggestions when you write (class, def, ...) and you can tabulate code. ¿What is the extension?. I think is SyntaxHighlight extension but I don't have this charactristics in my personal mediawiki.
My mediawiki version is 1.27 and I've installed VisualEditor and SyntaxHighlight. 83.213.69.15 (talk) 09:37, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- Probably Extension:CodeEditor is needed too? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:12, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- AhmadF.Cheema Thanks. With CodeEditor I can do that (tab my text).
- Do you know what is the extension that suggest you keywords (class, def...)? 83.213.69.15 (talk) 10:28, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- By suggestions do you mean when just ar is written, a dropdown appears suggesting "array"?
- This feature should be already working, maybe it is an issue with the MediaWiki and VisualEditor versions being newer on wikimedia Wikis as compared to yours. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 11:57, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- 1.28 version implements this characteristic. Thanks for everything AhmadF.Cheema. 83.213.69.15 (talk) 12:14, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- Always welcome. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 12:30, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Changing a page title
I would like to change the title of a page. I have created an account and looked in your help section but I cannot see an EDIT tab at the top of the page - I would be grateful for some help.
I am trying to change this page title: ID Business Solutions Ltd. ----> IDBS
Thanks in advance for your help.
Alex Alexbstone 14:02, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- What you want to do is called moving a page.
- Note however that there are certain rules as to which name an article should be under. I don't know, if it should be ID Business Solutions Ltd. or IDBS in this case. 87.123.21.22 (talk) 15:06, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- If by "ID Business Solutions Ltd." you meant the page here: http://www.limswiki.org/index.php/ID_Business_Solutions_Ltd., you should also know that this support forum is for support questions for MediaWiki (the software used to run limswiki.org) and there is most likely no formal association between the two.
- You might need to ask at limswiki.org about their policies for moving/renaming a page. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 15:51, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- When I wrote that there would be rules for the name, then I thought of Wikipedia as the wiki to edit. 87.123.21.22 (talk) 16:26, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- Just in case there is some misunderstanding, my comment wasn't directed towards you (87.123.21.22) but towards OP. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 17:03, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

How do I reuse MediaWiki templates between wikis?
Hello.
While editiing my wikis a lot I noticed that I would like to create a sort of a library out of the templates that are used on all of those wikis (especially the ones that put metadata onto pages in Semantic MediaWiki). This question may be too broad, but what are the best practices of sharing MediaWiki markup between wikis? Would it be possible to make it in "library fashion" somehow so I could put the templates in a certain repository? Another point of such an approach, I think, might be just sharing the templates world-wide, let's say, on GitHub/BitBucket/etc.
Any advices and answers are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! 195.234.74.168 (talk) 17:52, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- Of course, templates can be complex, site-specific creatures with dependencies on many other templates, extensions, semantic data, etc., which then also need to be transcluded or enabled on your wiki - simply borrowing a template would not always work out of the box. I think you would need to come up with your own way of managing the templates that you need for your wikis. If you are using SMW, you could use that to store data about their usage and create some sort of a library.
- See also: Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding (but the above comment also applies here). Cavila 09:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Cavila, and thank you for the reply. I usually design (if this word applies here well) decoupled templates as much as possible. It brings some complexity and templates amount bloat, but the very main "core" templates are perfect candidates to be reused or demonstrate MediaWiki markup or template techiniques. I thought it might be something like a syncing bridge between a VCS and MediaWiki (have no real idea how it would work though). A few years ago I asked if MediaWiki supports a VCS-integration, but it was never implemented. Another option I thought about was git-remote-mediawiki helper use, but I don't find the latter a reliable solution ignoring non-main namespaces like `Template:` or extremely hard way to rebase the commits in order to put a single file change into a single commit (but it really helped me *very much* to restore a really big part once my wiki crashed and lost its database, though). Anyway thank you very much for the suggestions! 195.234.74.168 (talk) 11:14, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
How to configure wiki page for ldap from web front end

GoogleDocTag
I haven't been able to get this extension to work in 1.27. It has worked in previous versions in my wiki and I verified that I have the google link correctly. I noticed that the extension download page identifies it as a 'beta.' Is there anyone who can confirm that this extension works in 1.27 (or even 1.28)? Can someone suggest a solution? Thank you. http://wiki.worldofasdar.com 04:13, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- There has been a similar report on Extension talk:GoogleDocTag. The code of the extension has last been changed in 2013 - maybe it is just not working with current MediaWiki versions currently. Maybe you can investigate, what the problem is... 87.123.50.152 (talk) 09:15, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

LDAP + Mediawiki
Hi,

Hi,
I am trying to install in another server mediawiki with auth LDAP on main server. (iredMail really + LDAP)
I have LDAP installed and working on main server and mediawiki running too in another server. Now I want to install plugin LDAP on mediawiki, but I can't do it because I receive some fails.

I see "Succesfully" on connect to LDAP server but Mediawiki can't login with this error:
Automatic creation of a local account failed: A valid username was not specified.
Why? How could I fix it?
Maybe Should I edit some config on Mediawiki to disable automatic creation account?
Maybe Am I using bad values on String?

MediaWiki still can't upload non-ascii filenames
There was a bug that images with cyrillic filenames couldn't been uploaded on a Windows server. It was fixed in the new php 7.1.0
Now you can rename the file and it does work with non-ascii filename , BUT you can't just upload it with a cyrillic filename from the beginning - MediaWiki 1.28 still shows the same message "This wiki doesnt work with non-ascii characters". 158.69.57.69 (talk) 11:28, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- That sounds like with the new PHP versions a new feature might be available in MediaWiki.

Error after upgrade
Hello all. Just upgraded via dnf (Fedora 24) from mediawiki 1.26.4-1 to 1.27.1-1. I ran the db upgrade script with no problem. When I try to access the wiki now, I get this error:
Fatal error: Class 'Wikimedia\PhpSessionSerializer' not found in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/session/PHPSessionHandler.php on line 161
I made no changes other than the install and upgrade script.
A search for php session serializer returned this:

bxr.wiki wikitext and VisualEditor broken?
Please take a look at Buryat Wikipedia engine. I suspect there is something wrong with the interface. 1. The editing interface does not load. Wikitext editing works only partially, and VisualEditor does not work at all. 2. For not-logged in users the main page displays a page from several days ago. I spotted both problems from several computers and browsers. Elvonudinium (talk) 12:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Please tell us where to "take a look at Buryat Wikipedia engine". AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 23:51, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- So this seems to be about bxr.wikipedia.org. The developer tools of your web browser expose the problem, which seems to be exactly the same as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152172, so an admin should fix your local code. AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 23:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
index.php?Vulnerability_Found
What is this? Kuhitkuhit (talk) 19:03, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Help with installing Common.css and Common.js
Hello,
Every instruction I have seen on the web says to import them at MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js. However, when I do either, I get this error:
"The requested URL /MediaWiki:Common.css was not found on this server."
Can someone just tell me how to import these into my Wiki? My wiki is here: http://[MyURL]/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

- Thanks!
- --Robert F3ar13ss (talk) 04:10, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- You need to access your site file system / directory, probably through cPanel. You could use FTP too but dont worry about that. Just log into your account on the host then you will see some options. It might just direct you to cPanel straight away. Then find the 'file manager' and go into that. Then you need to go into public_html which contains your mediawiki installation. Then youll see an 'extensions' folder. Double click that, then go upload from the top menu options. Upload the ZIPPED folder of Parser functions, the unchanged file download of it, do not unzip it before, then once its uploaded itll be in the extensions folder. Then you unzip it in cPanel and make sure its called ParserFunctions rename it if you need to.
- Then you go into LocalSettings.php which is back at the same level as extensions, rightclick code edit it, then paste these in at the bottom.

Italic terms in page title
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I'm interested at my MediaWiki installation to have italic terms in page titles. The page titles of several pages should not be complete in italic, only parts of it.
I found at English Wikipedia there is a template "Italic title" in use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Italic_title
A sample usage of this template is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontline_(Australian_TV_series)
It fits to my expectation: The term "Frontline" is shown in italic, the term "(Australian TV series)" not (it's regular). Fine.
Before I start to copy this template and install it at my WikiMedia installation, I'd like to know how to use it. In general, I know how to use templates. But: How does the sample page use this template?
By inspecting the wikitext of the the sample page I couldn't detect the usage of the template.
What am I missing? Hasenläufer (talk) 00:16, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know if you really need a template: There are Manual:$wgAllowDisplayTitle and Manual:$wgRestrictDisplayTitle, which allow you to use the magic word DISPLAYTITLE. Does that allow you to style the title the way you want? 87.123.0.61 (talk) 00:31, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, no, this fits not to my concerns. I considered the usage of "DisplayTitle", but it would lead to problems I'd like to avoid. Hasenläufer (talk) 01:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- In the meantime I installed the template "italic title" and it works. My assumption is, at English Wikipedia the call of this template ist hidden by a translation. However, we can close this discussion. Hasenläufer (talk) 14:49, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
How to make Dynamic text area / table to show different text values?
I want to have a text area / table of values which can change to display different values with a dropdown menu, the only thing I found that is kind of like it is this:
http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Cho%27Gath
In the statistics section theres a little dropdown label which changes the values. I cant find out how they did it because the code is under a class which isnt in common.css. 49.177.93.182 (talk) 04:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- It's JavaScript and a very custom one, I don't think you can reuse it straight for your wiki, but the code is in MediaWiki:Common.js/levelselect.js Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:30, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- Oh thanks a lot wow u found it.Ive been trying some other things. I made a pure css dropdown and a javascript one and a html one, but I havent as of right now figured out how to connect variables to mediawiki.
- Like I can make a global javascript variable in common.js:
- var example = 1;
- But mediawiki parser functions just evaluates it as a string I think. All im trying to do is to display other text when a dropdown item is selected. So I was trying to get the variable from the dropdown like this does:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLSelectElement/selectedIhandex
- If you scroll down its in the example. Anyway, thanks a million for finding that script, Ill study it right after I go to the park. Just from glancing at it I can see mediawiki $variables in it this will help me a lot. Thanks 49.177.93.182 (talk) 04:58, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
- That's JavaScript code, a feature like this usually requires the page to contain already all the content to be displayed, organized in a sort of layers, which are all hidden except the one selected. A similar effect with tabs instead of a dropdown is provided by Extension:Tabber Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 11:14, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Upgrading from 1.19.15 to 1.28.0: Revision X of the page named 'Title page' does not exist
Hello,
I'm moving a Mediawiki installation to another host. Version 1.19 is not compatible with some libraries in newer Linux versions, so I'm upgrading it, too.
I've downloaded 1.28 sources, uploaded 'images' and 'skins' from the old version, restored the database dump (the name of the database has changed), copied and edited LocalSettings (edited wgServer, wgDBname, sbDBuser, edited skin loading, commented out all extensions), ran update.php.
When I open the title page of the wiki, I get the following message:
The revision #23968 of the page named "Заглавная страница" does not exist.
("Заглавная страница" is Russian for Title page)
The deletion log lists all edits from the old wiki, but none of them is available. When I open random pages for the 'All pages' list, most of them give the same error message. Some (at least three of them) contain the original text. Could you, please, point to what I'm doing wrong?
Here's how I install and upgrade Mediawiki:
#CREATE DATABASE mediawiki; #grant all privileges on mediawiki.* to 'mediawiki'@'localhost' identified by 'xxx'; mysql mediawiki < oldwiki.sql wget --no-check-certificate https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.28/mediawiki-1.28.0.tar.gz tar -xzf mediawiki-1.28.0.tar.gz mkdir /var/www/mediawiki cp -r mediawiki-1.28.0/* /var/www/mediawiki cp -r wiki/images/ /var/www/mediawiki chmod -R 755 /var/www/mediawiki/images cp -r ext/AntiBot/ ext/Widgets/ /var/www/mediawiki/extensions/ cp -r wiki/skins/* /var/www/mediawiki/skins/ rm /var/www/mediawiki/skins/*php cp wiki/LocalSettings.php /var/www/mediawiki cd maintenance php update.php cd .. chown -R www-data: /var/www/mediawiki Fruchtenstein (talk) 09:05, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Create Index pages with semantic properties
Hi everybody,
I am looking for a way to create Index pages (those ones created with Proofread Extension) and make every field a semantic property. So I guess there are two ways:
1) I should fille each box of my Index with semantic properties;
2) use a Form to create Index pages.
The first way is easier but longer; the second one seems to me more practical but I don't know how to realize it.
I use PageForms to create forms.

Need help
Hi mediawiki. For school I need to host an mediawiki server. The installation went fine but accesing the web interface with another computer brings problems, I hope someone can help me.
- When other people try to find my server they only can detect it with http://(IP-adress) but when they want to go to another subject (lets say they're on my homepage and want to go to ''history'') the URL (IP-Adres) loops to http://localhost and then it gives and error. But they can find it by typing (Ip-Adres)/history but by clicking manualy the url changes and it gives an error instead of the history page.
- I'm hosting my server in XAMPP and when I go to localhost I instantly come on the XAMMP page instead of my mediawiki page, is there a way to change that?
Windows 10 Xammp , apache & MySQL
Thanks Pcmasterrace (talk) 14:44, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- This error sounds familiar, and I'd wager a guess that the value of $wgServer is set incorrectly. This value should be set to the correct web address (assuming you have one), or the current IP-Address of the server.
- In which directory have you installed MediaWiki? XAMPP might have its own startup page in the root directory and apache might not know that it should use index.php in the MediaWiki directory a starting point. —Mainframe98 talk 15:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

For example, the Mainpage, Login page and when entering Edit mode do not show in the correct page layout.

Search results and other links are downloaded instead of being rendered
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Our company wiki has been working for years and has been updated to 1.26.3 a few months ago without problems. A few weeks ago it started downloading some pages instead of rendering them.
If the search term does not match the title of a page, the search result page is shown and clicking on one of the search result items works well.
If the search term matches the title of a page, pressing enter or clicking on the page title shown at the top of the list, downloads the page instead of showing it. Clicking on the Containing... link below the page name, then the search result page is shown and everything works well.
Clicking the Save page button after editing a page, the page will be downloaded. Canceling the download and clicking the Read link shows the page with the last editing properly saved.
The downloaded file is called index.php, it starts with the following text and has some binary data after that (I assume that's the compressed page content). I don't understand why there are the first two lines:
0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.10.2 Date: Mon, 05 Dec 2016 17:16:45 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Content-language: en X-UA-Compatible: IE=Edge Vary: Accept-Encoding,Cookie Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Cache-Control: private, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Content-Encoding: gzip Last-Modified: Mon, 05 Dec 2016 17:16:44 GMT

Block/Unblock a page by IP
Hi,
I wonder if it's possible to block or unblock a certain page by IP Address.
Example I have a page that is only accessible to some group, but inside a range of IP i want that anyone can see this page without the need of having an account.
Is it possible to set an acl whit the IP range ?

From there, access the user object and retrieve the IP address. If the address is inside the range you want, then add the user to a special group. Or: In case of such an IP, directly change the group membership to include the permission you want. 87.123.31.37 (talk) 23:04, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Also important to note that it works over http when securelogin is set to false however upon setting to true the site is not accessible via either http or https.
any help is greatly appreciated

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I've moved my Mediawiki installation to another server and I'm now unable to upload files. Looking in the error_log I see a single line for each upload attempt:
[07-Dec-2016 13:25:23 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function iconv() in /home/username/public_html/wiki/includes/media/IPTC.php on line 449
Perhaps iconv isn't enabled on this server. How can I turn this on? Would it be through a php.ini file?
Is there a way to confirm that iconv isn't enabled?
Thanks Chris huh (talk) 13:34, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Options for dark theme in Android APP missing
Hi there,
the former releases of the android app showed an option to turn the WIKIPEDIA APP theme into dark for better reading by night. Now I can't find this trigger anymore, is there a chance to reactivate it? I'm using APP Version 2.4.16-r.2016-10-14 80.81.3.182 (talk) 16:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Error: 1 cannot start a transaction within a transaction
Since I updated to mediawiki-1.28.0 from mediawiki-1.26.2 yesterday, I've been getting the following error, usually when I save or preview an edited page, and occasionally when I access a page:
Original exception: [a53679567296387f8f2003e6] /~dabeidle/mediawiki-1.28.0/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=submit DBQueryError from line 1054 of /Users/dabeidle/Sites/mediawiki-1.28.0/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading? Query: BEGIN Function: Database::query (MessageCache::loadFromDB(en)-big) Error: 1 cannot start a transaction within a transaction
If I resubmit the edit page, the changes are saved (usually after the 3rd attempt). On a query, reloading the page works.
One change I made from the previous version was to change the database ownership from _www:_www to my account, with corresponding changes in http.conf. This is a local, private wiki running on macOS Sierra 10.12.1, PHP 5.6.25, SQLite 3.8.10.2 as a personal knowledge base so access from the Internet is not possible.
The questions I have are: "Did I encounter a regression that I need to log as a bug?" in which case I can provide more detail, or "Did I miss something (probably simple) in the upgrade or configuration?"
I followed the upgrade procedure on <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading>, including upgrading the SQLite3 database. Dbeidle (talk) 21:30, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- I've added the following to my LocalSettings.php file in order to produce more info:
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true; $wgDebugLogFile = "/tmp/wiki.log"; $wgDebugToolbar = true; $wgShowDebug = true; $wgShowSQLErrors = true; $wgDebugDumpSql = true; $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true; error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
- A couple of quick tests didn't reproduce the error. More testing to come tomorrow. Dbeidle (talk) 02:52, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- If you reproduce that consistently, try disabling extensions, and see which one is causing the problem. Probably not a missing step in upgrade or configuration. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:49, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- I started off by disabling all extensions (WikiEditor, SyntaxHiglight_GeSHi, Cite), restarted the Safari browser, and browsed to the main page of the wiki. I got the following error:
'''Fatal error''': Uncaught exception 'Cdb\Exception' with message 'Unable to move the new CDB file into place.' in /Users/dabeidle/Sites/mediawiki-1.28.0/vendor/wikimedia/cdb/src/Writer/DBA.php:60 Stack trace: #0 /Users/dabeidle/Sites/mediawiki-1.28.0/vendor/wikimedia/cdb/src/Writer.php(88): Cdb\Writer\DBA->close() #1 [internal function]: Cdb\Writer->__destruct() #2 {main} thrown in '''/Users/dabeidle/Sites/mediawiki-1.28.0/vendor/wikimedia/cdb/src/Writer/DBA.php''' on line '''60'''- This was an end result of:

- I noticed that the tmp file in question had an ownership of dabeidle:wheel instead of dabeidle:staff. I'll try removing the tmp file, and then retry the test. Dbeidle (talk) 19:08, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- Removing the one /var/tmp file did not help. Failure repeatable. However, when I terminated the browser, deleted everything in /var/tmp, restarted the browser, and browsed to my main page it loaded this time. Testing continues. Will repeat the simple main page load test a couple more times and then start enabling extensions one by one. Dbeidle (talk) 19:29, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- Clearing out /var/tmp/* and disabling extensions helped a lot in reducing the occurrence of "cannot start a transaction within a transaction" errors (only saw one while navigating the wiki so far).
- I use three of the bundled extensions: WikiEditor, SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi, and Cite. When I enable any one of these three extensions, the occurrence of "cannot start a transaction within a transaction" increases. Reloading the page after such an error usually works in displaying the page. Note: I use the versions distributed with media wiki, I do not use the versions from prior releases.
- We can set up a screen sharing session if it'd help. Dbeidle (talk) 21:03, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- Not sure if this matters... After I enabled both the Cite and SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi extensions, both Chrome and Safari browsers get a "cannot start a transaction within a transaction" fairly quickly. However, I haven't been able to reproduce the error (yet) on Firefox. Makes one go "Hmmm!"
- After enabling the WikiEditor extension and editing s page several times I manage to reproduce the "cannot start a transaction within a transactions" failure consistently on Firefox now. Dbeidle (talk) 23:23, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- I though our MediaWiki continuous integration tests were run on sqlite, but no, devs confirmed they're run on mysql, so a regression may be introduced recently for sqlite, which went unnoticed.
- On T88312 Aaron suggest using CDB files for localization cache on sqlite, which may be the problem in this case.
- For that, according to $wgLocalisationCacheConf, be sure you've set $wgCacheDirectory to a writable directory. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:15, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Uncommented $wgCacheDirectory = "$IP/cache"; in LocalSettings.php. Firefox seems a bit better (will do more testing and with other browsers). At least it's not leaving a whole bunch of "lessphp_*.lesscache" files in the /var/tmp or cache directories.
- Now if I can only get back the sort arrows in my sortable table - they show up occasionally; but mostly not. Showed up under Chrome 55.0.2883.87, but not Firefox 50.0.2 or Safari 10.0.1.
- Nope, still getting the "cannot start a transaction with a transaction" failure on Firefox when I edit a page. Reloading (resubmitting) the page shows that the changes were saved. Dbeidle (talk) 18:55, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Please comment on T88312 about your issue, in case other developers can take a look, since it looks related. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:32, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- OK, comment submitted. Dbeidle (talk) 03:58, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Display of restrictive category listings
Hi all,
I’m looking for the best way to display categories and subcategories, and then subsequently only the documents that belong to those two categories.
E.g. “Foo” has a category of “A” and “B”. “Boo” has a category of “B”.
I would like the user to click on category “A”, and drilldown to category “B”. Once they click on “B”, “Foo” appears, but “Boo” does not, as Boo does not belong to category “A”.

Hello all, I have a question perhaps someone can help me with
So I have a offline Bitnami MediaWiki I use for some personal writing projects. I purchased a new SSD and Windows 10 to upgrade my computer recently. Before doing so I made a backup of the entire Bitnami folder and exported the MySQL. Now I am on my new SSD/W10 install trying to recreate the Wiki? What is the easiest way to do this? I tried installing the Bitnami MediaWiki stack and importing the SQL database file but it gave me errors? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

How to Search content rather than just page titles

How to do multi language side category
http://i.imgur.com/6UrqF2O.png
When we use wiki, there will be a multi-language category on left side, we can switch to other language related to the topic we found, is that doable on my own wiki system? Chan15tw (talk) 02:58, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 03:13, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, but the extension only change the environment language, wiki will change to the content to the language which you choose, how to do that? Chan15tw (talk) 06:14, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- From what I know, the Wiki does not change the content automatically, the content is either translated by contributors (using Extension:Translate), or the language links lead to their respective language Wikis. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:05, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Is that mean the contents in every language all saved in differents domain with differents databases? Chan15tw (talk) 08:56, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Sometimes, the translated page is at a different sub-page (like Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/es) at other times like at Wikipedia, the different language pages appear in different sub-domains (like en.wikipedia.org and es.wikipedia.org).
- Don't know whether the different language Wikipedias are using different databases or not.
- It should also be noted that the other language pages aren't necessarily translated pages, they can also be very different articles than their English counterparts. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 09:49, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Wikipedia almost certainly has separate different Mediawiki installations for each language.
- What is added maybe is Extension:Interwiki. JamesPoulson (talk) 10:00, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- So the left language link on the left side is the way to different wiki sites, and all of them were isolated website therefore if I want to have different languages with the same topic I need to separate the website and edit the link, there is only one question left, how to sync the language navigation among all website. Chan15tw (talk) 01:16, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- For different languages with the same topic, you can also follow the method used at MediaWiki by using sub-pages for other languages (like for Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/es). AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 01:40, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- How can links to other languages be displayed?
- And browsers redirected to a language sub-page according to the choice made with the Universal Language Selector? JamesPoulson (talk) 09:41, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, but I don't think the Universal Language Selector sidebar language chooser can be used to direct to sub-pages, I was referring to using a setup like that of "Other languages" box that appears under the title of MediaWiki pages (like in Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/es). AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:18, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- That is probably achieved by a template.
- Having a look at the markup there is this tag being used: <languages / > JamesPoulson (talk) 11:03, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- That is Extension:Translate.
- Also take a look at Help:Extension:Translate. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 11:15, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- What Extension:Translate does is add <translate></translate> tags which when placed in the markup makes a "translate" link appear which when clicked leads to a page where you can translate content from one page to sub-pages with codes such as /fr, /es, /de, etc. JamesPoulson (talk) 11:27, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- The "<languages / >" derives from Extension:Translate and not from some template. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 13:24, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- You are right Ahmad! Thanks a ton :D . This is the tag that adds the Other languages box.
- It's now showing on the front page of MonetaryAlternative and all that's left to figure out is if there is a shortcut to add this to all or multiple pages at once. JamesPoulson (talk) 01:52, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Pages not appearing in a category. How to fix?
I have added pages to a category on a newly created Wiki.
However, the pages don't appear on the page of the category itself and it says "This category currently contains no pages or media".

- You can easily edit the sidebar to add/change links, but not the toolbox section (where the upload link appears). See Manual:Interface/Sidebar. Adding a new link to the toolbox section is possible, however, but requires you to do a bit of coding in PHP in your LocalSettings.php, implementing the BaseTemplateToolbox hook.

- @Ciencia Al Poder I do not think the pages #Preusmeri and #Преусмери, but on redirection, what standard when in the editor when you want a page be forwarded to the other.
- @Wargo sr_el. Serbian Cyrillic and Serbian Latin are two equal letters in Serbian language, and should divert the software in the form of #Preusmeri recognized as diverting. Kizule (talk) 16:31, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- There's a difference. When you want to redirect a page on another site a real difference if it says #Preusmeri or #Преусмери. See the following: http://i.imgur.com/BcNXqB6.jpg It is for serbian cyrillic.
- Here is for serbian latin: http://i.imgur.com/o3qtjJm.jpg
- When given the command in Cyrillic, it shows one thing, but when given the command to Latin shows otherwise. Can it be installed to display the form as shown in Cyrillic (I think that shows the character in the form enter) Kizule (talk) 16:54, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect alias for sr_ec are: '#Преусмери', '#преусмери', '#ПРЕУСМЕРИ', '#Преусмјери', '#преусмјери', '#ПРЕУСМЈЕРИ', '#redirect', '#REDIRECT'
- Redirect alias for sr_el are: '#Preusmeri', '#preusmeri', '#PREUSMERI', '#Preusmjeri', '#preusmjeri', '#PREUSMJERI', '#redirect', '#REDIRECT'
- You can't have both, apparently. If you want to support both variants at the same time, you should clarify that on the bug report. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 18:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Ciencia Al Poder I want that when you are redirected to the Latin form of #Preusmeri to be like when they are redirected to the Cyrillic form. Kizule (talk) 18:37, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- I'm confused again. #Preusmeri or #Преусмери are syntax to create a redirect, you aren't redirected from one to another. Please clarify and provide exact steps to reproduce Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:22, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- #Preusmeri or #Преусмери are syntax to create a redirect,
- Yes it is. When you want to redirect using the syntax that is in the Latin version, showing one version. When you want to redirect by using the syntax that is in the Cyrillic version, showing another version.
- Version of latin syntax: http://i.imgur.com/o3qtjJm.jpg
- Version on cyrillic syntax: http://i.imgur.com/BcNXqB6.jpg
- I want to show the Latin syntax same as shown in Cyrillic syntax. Kizule (talk) 22:00, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- You can't Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:20, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- I close the topic, problem solved. The website will be used for redirection syntax in English and Serbian Cyrillic script. Thanks a lot! Kizule (talk) 13:13, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
Skin not loading in Mediawiki 1.27.1.
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Tried $wgResourceLoaderDebug = true; it worked temporarily. Once skin started working, wanted to use the wikieditor extension. That particular extension does not work with $wgResourceLoaderDebug = true; setting. Therefore played around a bit with LocalSettings.php and now even the skin is not loading correctly.
I am new to mediawiki. Please help

- I'm not sure how much I can help, but have you tried looking through Debugging yet? It has some tips :)
- For example, you could add this in your LocalSettings.php file:
error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
- Adding that will force to show PHP errors on your screen. If and when you do that, could you paste your error here? Thanks! (This will help so that even if I don't respond to this quickly enough, other people will still see it and might be able to help you too.) Also, what skin are you trying to install? SamanthaNguyen (talk) 04:49, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Hi,
- Thanks a lot for trying to help. Appreciate it.
- I pasted the above in localsettings.php. I did not get any error. The skin I expect to see loaded in vector. I see that in Special pages --> Version page skin vector is installed, however no css is applied when I browse pages on my wiki.
- I tried $wgDebugLogFile = "Wki_New.log"; in localsettings.php I get this error.

- It looks like you have backslashes mixed with forward slashes in your URL. Could that be the issue? 207.250.18.198 (talk) 14:42, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
- Did you download the right version/branch? If you go to Special:SkinDistributor/Vector, you should select "1.27" so maybe you misclicked?
- Also if I remember correctly, adding
?debug=trueat the end of your URL should bring errors in your console, which you can open by right clicking on a page and pressing "Inspect Element", then switching to the "Console" tab. (Also, a keyboard shortcut for this e.g would be Ctrl+Shift+I in Chrome) - There's some pages that I found (although I'm guessing you probably already took a look at these):
- Maybe running
mw.loader.getState( 'skins.vector.styles' );in your console will give back something useful? The styles module holds the stylesheets of Vector. You could also trymw.loader.getState ( 'skins.vectors.styles.responsive' );. SamanthaNguyen (talk) 05:25, 12 December 2016 (UTC) - Just looked at https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/REL1_27/includes/OutputPage.php#L3865, and according to the documentation, the function
transformFilePathchecks whether or not a file exists. So since it's giving a warning, from my understanding (although I might be wrong), you're missing theajax-loader.giffile. When you look through your files, go that path that it mentioned to you:\Wiki/resources/src/mediawiki.legacy/images/. You can download the file here: - https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/REL1_27/resources/src/mediawiki.legacy/images/ajax-loader.gif SamanthaNguyen (talk) 05:34, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Samantha. I suspected the same and checked. The file does exist.
- Following your instructions on the console I got this error

"badcachekey" error from API after 1.27 > 1.28 update
Hi, after successfully using Mediawiki 1.27 with VisualEditor for a while; we wanted to upgrade to the newest version because the editor starting to show some weird problems.
So I did an upgrade to Mediawiki 1.28, VisualEditor-REL1_28-93528b7 and Parsoid 0.6.1.
Now an error message occurs when saving a page which says "Unknown error". However the page does get saved. If you look at the 3 POST requests (to api.php) made by the save actions 1 fails (the 2nd one). It returns an error object with code "badcachekey" and info "No cached serialization found with that key".
If anyone can help us by explaining why this error occurs and/or what we can do to fix it, it will be greatly appreciated! We're kind of at a loss since downgrading doesn't seems to be possible?

Mediawiki and SMTP/Mail
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi guys,
I'm having a great deal of difficulty setting up SMTP mail on my WikiMedia VM. I have this as the following in my php.ini:
[mail function] ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/smtp SMTP = *placeholder* ; http://php.net/smtp-port smtp_port = 259 username=*placeholder* password=*placeholder* ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/sendmail-from sendmail_from = *placeholder*@gmail.com
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? The information out there is at best quite sketchy and involves processes I can't quite wrap my head around (i.e. using PEAR). Mediawikiuser86 (talk) 16:03, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Be sure the vm isn't blocking connections to the SMTP server. You can try with the netcat command:
nc -z <host> <port>Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:31, 13 December 2016 (UTC)- Thanks for the reply. Managed to eventually sort it by adding this to the localsettings file in root:::
$wgSMTP = array('host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com','IDHost' => 'mydomain.com','port' => 465,'username' => 'webmaster@mydomain.com', ## or info@mydomain.com, or whatever email account you've set up for your Mediawiki installation'password' => 'emailpasswordforwebmaster','auth' => true);Mediawikiuser86 (talk) 14:36, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Reason for error "Undefined class constant 'LIST_COMMA'"
Hi there,
since a couple of days I have my MediaWiki break again and again. I have it installed in a hosted VM on Ubuntu 14 with Plesk as management app.
For some reasons I cannot track down, at some stage, the fully functional MW stops working and in the Logs I get the following error:
Undefined class constant 'LIST_COMMA' in /var/www/vhosts/schneide-r.de/httpdocs/includes/Defines.php:34\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/vhosts/schneide-r.de/httpdocs/includes/WebStart.php(70): require_once()\n#1 /var/www/vhosts/schneide-r.de/httpdocs/index.php(40): require('/var/www/vhosts...')\n#2 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/vhosts/schneide-r.de/httpdocs/includes/Defines.php on line 34\n
There is no change to any of the wikimedia files, so it must have to do with some kind of configuration change caused i.e. by a linux update or by a plesk update. However, so far I couldn't find out what the cause could be as I have no idea in what area to look...
Is there any known reasons for this "Undefined class constant" error? It's pretty likely only the symptom of something different...

Force SSL, even for images
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I am trying to use SSL but I have trouble with getting mediawiki 1.23 to use SSL paths for images as well as logos. For example in this page both are loaded from http https://lsj.translatum.gr/wiki/mastery
It is a wikifarm and I have these in localsettings
$wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images/$site";
$wgLogo = "/w/images/c/c9/Logo.png";
I have used this in htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*)
https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} Spiros71 (talk) 18:30, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Have you set $wgServer to https:// AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 19:00, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Not sure how exactly it should be set. gServer = "https://"? or gServer = "https://$site.translatum.gr"? Tried both to no avail.
- Below the "$site" variable is used to match the subdomains of the wikis in the wikifarm.
- $site.translatum.gr
- The errors:
- mastery:1 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://lsj.translatum.gr/wiki/mastery' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://lsj.translatum.gr/w/images/lsj/0/08/woodhouse_516.jpg'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
- mastery:1 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://lsj.translatum.gr/wiki/mastery' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://lsj.translatum.gr/w/images/lsj/c/c9/Logo.png'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
- EDIT: I got it, it had to do with htaccess Spiros71 (talk) 19:26, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Note that after switching to https:, if $wgServer was http before, pages can still have generated HTML pointing to http: in the parser cache. You may need to set $wgCacheEpoch to force the discard of old content in the parser cache. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:58, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Can't register after update to 1.28 and other problems
I updated to mediawiki 1.28 and I also updated all of my extensions, and now I'm suddenly getting this error with large pages with a lots of images and media on them when I try to enter visual editor: it's starts to load but after a while it gives an error message just saying "http" and if I click "OK" I can see the toolbar of the visual editor but only some functions can be used and I cannot save the page because it gives me an error message. Sometimes I'm not even able to click on the save button at all.
I looked at the console of the inspect element tool of my browser and it gives the following error message:
[03189b8de32b5bb492e62d83] /load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&skin=vector BadMethodCallException from line 845 of /var/www/html/includes/session/SessionManager.php: Sessions are disabled for this entry point(anonymous function) @ load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&skin=vector:4
But even on other pages where the visual editor works fine it gives one of the following error messages:
load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&skin=vector:4 [d2979c18dcda8575beab441b] /load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&skin=vector BadMethodCallException from line 845 of /var/www/html/includes/session/SessionManager.php: Sessions are disabled for this entry point(anonymous function) @ load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&skin=vector:4

Also, I use the Mobile Frontend extension and I aren't able to edit on mobile after I updated to 1.28. When I click on the update button it says that it's going to redirect me to the editor but instead it just puts me back on the page and doesn't enters the editor.
On the Mobile Frontend inspect element tool of my browser and it gives the following error message:

- People aren't able to register on my wiki either because of this problem. Every time they fill out the registration form and click on register it crashes. Pls help. Innosflew (talk) 09:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- The problem you describe for large pages sometimes happens because the parsing puts too much load on processor and memory resources of the server. Check your server logs to see if that isn't happening.
- Are things working fine when these two extensions are disabled? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 09:42, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- The problems with the visual editor on desktop seem to have been fixed by disabling $wgSessionsInObjectCache and $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid']['forwardCookies']. I don't remember why did I enabled them in the first place.
- But the problems still persist with the Mobile Front end and at the registration. I'm still not able to enter editor on my mobile version, and people still not able to create accounts on my wiki, and the errors in my inspect element tool still showing at every page. Innosflew (talk) 09:53, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- Also, the way the account creation crashes is that it takes me to a fully white screen with nothing on it, and if I hit F5 on that screen to refresh it takes me back to the registration screen where the following error is displayed: "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again."
- And as I've said the following error messages are displayed in the inspect elemet tool of my browser on every page on my wiki no matter what I do: https://i.gyazo.com/bed75dbabde8807f81d049cc654fbd10.png Innosflew (talk) 14:52, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- And as you suggested I disabled Visual Editor, Flow(since this requires Parsoid as well), and the Mobile Frontend, and while the error messages that were displayed in the inspect elemet tool of my browser went away people are still not able to register on my wiki. Innosflew (talk) 15:00, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- The issue could be related to this Project:Support desk/Flow/2016/07#h-Can't_login_or_create_user_after_upgrade_to_1.27-2016-07-05T08:20:00.000Z.
- Try setting
$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;in your LocalSettings.php. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:12, 14 December 2016 (UTC) - I set it to
$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;and it's still not working. Innosflew (talk) 17:02, 14 December 2016 (UTC) - Btw I found this on Manual:Load.php:
"Code executed via load.php should not rely on the user's session as its results will be cached and sent to other users. Starting from MW 1.28, this is enforced and a "Sessions are supposed to be disabled for this entry point" exception will be thrown if a session access is attempted. See these tips on how to fix."
- So according to this the reason I'm getting those error messages in the inspect element tool is because I'm attempting a session access? How can I fix this? Innosflew (talk) 20:39, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, so I updated my mediawiki core and all of my extensions to the latest master version(1.29.0-alpha) to test it out but the problems persist. Also now I'm also getting errors about the Flow extension:

Innosflew (talk) 22:13, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- Contrary to what the error message claims, page Content_handlers does not mention the content model CONTENT_MODEL_FLOW_BOARD. It's obviously related to the Flow extension. Make sure that you have all related extensions installed!

- I have everything installed and I see Flow on the Special:Version page. Also opened chrome console and I notices on the talk pages I have this error as well:

- Also, on the latest master version(1.29.0-alpha) I tested out the editor both on Desktop and Mobile version seems to be working fine now, but I'm still getting the session errors in chrome console on every page for some reason:

Search functionality in mediawiki
Hi,
I am using mediawiki 1.26.3 version and i have a requirement of search functionality. When the user searchers for "sample" in the search box, it is listing down all the pages where the word "sample" is present. When i click on any of the link, it is not showing me where the word "sample" is present in that page. Can anyone help me in suggesting any extension that can suit this.

- Yes it works and thx for the link about statistics. But there is only strange thins that after putting this magic word the system requires to create template PAGESINNAMESPACE ... I just created an empty page. Fokebox (talk) 14:51, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- What do you mean by "system requires"? Does the magic word not work without creating the empty page? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 14:56, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- It works. But as soon as I have inserted Template:PAGESINNAMESPACE:1 so in the list of Templates I see that there is a Template:PAGESINNAMESPACE. It all works fine even I don't create this template. So you know if you put the word into brackets {{}} - then wiki creates a link to create a template
- You see here the red link - it wants to create a template ) Fokebox (talk) 15:03, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- As said before: "This will not work by default, will need to enable $wgAllowSlowParserFunctions too."
- It isn't enabled here, hence why it also doesn't work. 121.219.59.240 (talk) 03:37, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I enabled it it works fine. Could you please tell how to make correctly a link to the list with all Talk pages? Fokebox (talk) 08:08, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- You can try something like the following:
<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=1 List of Wiki talk pages]</span>- For more details, see: Help:Links#External links to internal pages AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 09:17, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
adding ldap config to LocalSettings = wiki page wont load
When I add the below config items to the bottom of LocalSettings.php and then attempt to reach my wiki page it will not load. There are no browser error pages or anything just a blank screen. I restart httpd as well after saving LocalSettings but that does not seem to resolve it. I have installed the ldap extension as well.
any ideas?

- $wgLDAPDebug = 3;
- $wgDebugLogGroups['ldap'] = '/tmp/debug.log';
- And check logs. Blank page is a code error.
- Have a look to my config:

Bwfreas (talk) 20:58, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- can anyone help intrepret my issues based on those entries in the error_log in /var/log/httpd Bwfreas (talk) 20:59, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- You had a number of issues in your LocalSettings.php file. However, it looks like there at least is no syntax error in it anymore now.
- According to Extension:LDAP_Authentication/Configuration it is correct to use a $wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();.
- The last issue is
PHP Fatal error: Class 'LdapAuthenticationPlugin' not found in /var/www/mediawiki-1.26.3/LocalSettings.php on line 137- This means that the class LdapAuthenticationPlugin could not be found. Did this class not get autoloaded? 83.135.225.133 (talk) 21:27, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- The LdapAuthenticationPlugin class is defined in the central LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php file. If you
- downloaded the extension in the right version and if
- the require_once 'extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php'; line correctly is in place, this error will not happen.
- My guess is that you did not only add the "#" sign above to create numbers in front of the lines, which you posted. I believe tht you are having these "#" signs in your LocalSettings.php file as well, which effectively deactivates these lines. Make sure to remove these three "#" signs from the three lines! 83.135.225.133 (talk) 21:35, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

- so as of right now when i tail /var/log/httpd/error_log and attempt to load the main page - this is the only error im seeing as of right now

- i think/thought i followed the extension install correctly but i am not sure how to tell if that plugin was loaded or how to verify? I am running mediawiki 1.26.3 which i believe when i installed the extension was not an option however it directed me to just use the most recent version - was that correct?
- also - is it possible there is a permissions issue anywhere here?
- lastly - referring to the last comment - yes I was just commenting lines as a test since as soon as i added the ldap items to LocalSettings.php the site became unloadable so I was just going back in line by line commenting them out to try and see if i could find a culprit and i left them commented when i copied them in here - that is my mistake and I apologize for the confusion Bwfreas (talk) 14:07, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- Try using the 1.26 version. You can download it here:
- https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-LdapAuthentication/archive/REL1_26.zip 83.135.227.123 (talk) 15:16, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- thank you for that! i installed it and just renamed the old LdapAuthentication in extensions to get it out of the way and now the page will at least always load however it doesnt seem like the ldap is working still which im not surprised at this point
- i know of /var/log/httpd/error_log, access_log and ssl_access_log is there anywhere else i should be looking or any other possible cause? can you tell me are my config settings right (I know you probably cant speak to some of the specifics on my side but otherwise does it look accurate?) I commented out the LdapAuthenticationPlugin.php because in the 1.26 version that file doesnt exist so I assume it isnt needed?

- one last point to mention here is that ldap and associated ports are in fact open between this wiki and the actual ldap server as ldap does work from the OS side of the wiki - there is also an entry in the wikis /etc/hosts for the ldap server IP

- The message "It looks like you are missing LDAP support; please ensure you have either compiled LDAP support in, or have enabled the module. If the authentication is working for you, the plugin isn't properly detecting the LDAP module, and you can safely ignore this message." happens when the ldap_connect function in PHP is not present. You need to install the ldap extension of php. See Extension:LDAP Authentication/Requirements. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:52, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

- it appears as though some changes i made relative to firewalld and adding the ldap port to localsettings.php has changed what is happening upon user log in
- from the gui now once entering credentials a user sees:
- = Database error =
- A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.
- it still shows "log in" at the top though they can browse all the articles, changes etc of the wiki

How to #replace double line feed
I have a text with double line feeds, like this:
This is some Text
MediaWiki renders this as
This is <p>some</p> <p>Text</p>
How can I use #replace to strip out the new lines / paragraphs?
That means I want to have "This is some text" as a result.
I tried this, but it doesn't work:
{{#replace:Text with double line feeds|& #10;|}}
{{#replace:Text with double line feeds|& #13;|}}
{{#replace:Text with double line feeds|& #182;|}}
{{#replace:Text with double line feeds|& #8233;|}}
PS: Had to add a space between "&" and "#" so that it's not parsed. Stefahn (talk) 16:12, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
Section Edit Box is missing Text
I have a recently installed wiki on CentOS 7 (1.26.3), PHP 5.4.16, MariaDB 5.5.47. Installation went smoothly and I satisfied all dependencies but the "Edit" text is missing from the section headers. It shows "[ ]" and if you move the cursor between the brackets it gives you the popup "Edit Section" but the actual "edit" text does not display. I don't see any errors in the Apache logs. Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks. NovaRay (talk) 16:16, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
MediaWiki Site Broken after Crash and Server Upgrade
I have three small, private, MediaWiki sites that were running on a CentOS 6 server. After a server crash, I built a new machine on CentOS 7 but I'm having trouble getting these three sites running again. Other sites using MySQL/MariaDB are working, just not the MediaWiki sites. The version of MediaWiki being used is 1.24. I know I need to upgrade but I figured I'd take one problem at a time.
When I go to one of the restored sites I get an error message saying the wiki-hartfam.mw_page table doesn't exist (full error message below). At first I thought it had to do with the hyphen in the database name, but now I don't think so.
When I look in the /var/lib/mysql/wiki-hartfam/ directory (although it's listed as wiki@002dhartfam because of that hyphen), there is a mw_page.frm file but no MYD or MYI file. In fact, for all of my wiki databases, both on the server and in my backups, the only MYD or MYI files are searchindex. Is this usual? Have I really lost the same files for all three wikis including in all my backups? That seems highly unlikely if not impossible.
So, is the problem that I'm missing files or does it have to do with my switching from CentOS 6 (with MySQL 5.1.x, if I remember correctly) to CentOS 7 (with MariaDB 5.5.50).
The exact error message I'm getting is:
A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. Query: SELECT page_title FROM `mw_page` WHERE page_is_redirect = '0' AND page_namespace = '8' AND (page_title NOT LIKE '%/%' ) AND (page_len > 10000) Function: MessageCache::loadFromDB(en)-big Error: 1146 Table 'wiki-hartfam.mw_page' doesn't exist (localhost)
Any help in recovering these sites would be greatly appreciated. HenryHartley (talk) 18:53, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- Solving one issue at a time is the right idea.
- What you have actually is a MySQL problem. The searchindex table really is a special table as this is the only table, which uses the MyISAM table engine. All other tables should be InnoDB. The content of these files should be in the idb files. During operation of the server the current content might only be inside the InnoDB tablespace, so that in the worst case these files do not reflect the newest state.
- When you access the MySQL server, e.g. with phpmyadmin or using the mysql command on the commandline, which tables are you then seeing in the three databases?
- Has InnoDB maybe not been activated?
- Next question: How have you copied over the contents from the old to the new server? Using an SQL dump file would be great! 83.135.226.168 (talk) 20:12, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- First, I don't see any idb files. I assume they would be in the same directory as the rest of this database's files. Is that right? I have the searchindex files (MYD, MYI, and frm) and then a long list of .frm files (and one db.opt file).
- You ask if InnoDB has been activated. It appears that MariaDB comes compiled with XtraDB as the default InnoDB replacement. Any reason that wouldn't work here? What would I do to check if InnoDB has been activated?
- The old server crashed and I am working from backup files. My biggest worry is that what I was doing for backup wasn't sufficient. I had a cron job that created a copy of the mysql directory including all the DB directories. That's what I'm using, copying the files directly from that.
- In the mysql command line client, "show tables;" lists all the tables, including mw_page So that's something, anyway. However, when I run "show columns from mw_page;" it says the table doesn't exist. HenryHartley (talk) 16:26, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- OK, good news. The idb file (as I'm sure you know but I didn't) is ibdata1 and is in the directory containing all the separate mysql database directories. Apparently it's shared between all the databases, which seems a bit crazy to me. I restored that file from backup and after a few false starts with file permissions, I got mariadb running. The mysql command line got me to the table content and the site now responds properly. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
- This is perhaps something that has been brought up elsewhere, but wouldn't it make a lot of sense to have the content from each database have its own idb file? Is that easily done (particularly is it easily done after the fact)? Is there a best-practices document somewhere that talks about this, particularly in terms of MediaWiki practice?
- Again, thanks very much for your help. HenryHartley (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Restoring old version of Media Wiki to latest version
We have a backup set, which is extremely old and are unsure of what version of MediaWiki it was built on.
We would like to restore it to the latest version of MediaWiki, we restore the database, but cant find any info on restoring attachments/images/skins, it appears the folder structure has changed from previous versions.
Alternatively, is there a way to find the version of MediaWiki through the SQL database or a file in /www ? 99.236.48.58 (talk) 00:31, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- In recent version at-least, the MediaWiki version can be found written in RELEASE-NOTES, HISTORY.txt, LocalSettings.php (all in root Mediawiki directory). See if these are available in your Wiki backup too. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 08:23, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Automatic conversion of time
Hi. Is there any function that, when using numbers as values in a parameter, to convert them to time units? Ex: Say I would like to use |time=1800 which would show up as 1 day and 6 hours. In addition to that, is there any way that the same conversion could be added to another parameter (say, |time2), automatically, but it would first multiply the original number (say by 1.2) then convert it and you would have 1 day and 12 hours? I know it seems nigh impossible, but I've seen magic happen with templates, so maybe something like this exists. Thanks! 188.24.81.118 (talk) 13:19, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Internationalize Extension:Gadgets/Scripts/SubPages.js
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I want to localize messages in this extension script (Extension:Gadgets/Scripts/SubPages.js). It seems not to be complex code, but I don't know how to internationalize it.

Darklanlan (talk) 01:33, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- These are not parts of the extension, just code snippets which can be copied to other wikis (e.g. to Commons). Neither of them is internationalized, only the user rights gadget is not used as its functionality is present in MediaWiki core (which is, by design, fully internationalized). Internationalizing these gadgets is complicated and there isn’t one common technique. However, Commons’s version is already internationalized so you can ask i18n on the talk page.

- Only sysops or other user groups with the delete right can delete pages. You should ask a sysop on the wiki. Some wikis have templates that you can put on pages requesting it's deletion, or ask on a talk page.
- Another solution is to make the wrong title redirect automatically to the new one (this doesn't require special rights). See Help:Redirects Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:20, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Non-extant pages producting 404 for /w/index.php
Hello,
I'm running into an issue with a new wiki I'm working on which I've never seen before and can't get to the bottom of.
I'm using the standard mod_rewrite rules as outlined in the docs, and that works fine for extant pages, but when attempting to naviagate to a page which has not yet been created, or e.g. a special page which doesn't exist I get a 404 page for /w/index.php instead of a MediaWiki rendered page.

- When you are doing a request to a non-existent page (e.g. to wiki/Does_not_exist), the server currently ends up trying to display w/index.php and it tells you that this file would not have been found.
- When you however view the history of one of your wiki pages, then w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history does work.
- I am pretty sure that the problem is somewhere in your .htaccess file. Maybe you are missing a RewriteBase or something like that... 83.135.227.123 (talk) 13:45, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
ScriptInstaller
Hi everyone! I was interested ScriptInstaller script, but doesn't work some functions on kkwiki (script page loaded by common.js). Script author currently inactive.
How to fix these three bugs:
1. here installer link doesn't work. Shown Must be installed manually message;
2. Show installed script list link not shown;
3. already installed scripts shown install link, not shown installed message. Please help me. Arystanbek (talk) 12:55, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for asking about this -- I wasn't aware of the script installer! I installed it in my global.js and it appears to work on enwiki. I see that the script is invoked but says to do a manual install on kkwiki, but not on enwiki.
- I went to my
- , though, and saw "Орнату" by the title. Clicking it added the script to my common.js on kkwiki.
- So far, good.
- The list of installed scripts did not display when I clicked the button, though, as it would on enwiki.
- So, clearly there are bugs with using the script on kkwiki.
- In fact, looking at the bottom of the script, it appears to only be designed for enwiki and designed to tell you to do a manual installation, otherwise.
- However, there is hope.
- If you go to the script's page itself (for example), you should see a working "install" beside the title of the page. At least, the link worked for me. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 02:26, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
- @MarkAHershberger don't have solve any way this problem? Arystanbek (talk) 04:34, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
- If you visit the page script page itself, you should get the install script.
- I don't have time to work on fixing the whole script, but if you are missing a particular thing, maybe I can find a way to fix that. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 16:12, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Can't get image thumbnailing to work / ImageMagick 7
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
We installed MediaWiki here at work (and it's awesome). Images and image uploading work fine, but we can't get image thumbnailing to work. I've installed ImageMagick 7 on the host machine (Windows) and I think I've made all of the correct changes to LocalSettings.php, but whenever we try thumbnailing, Apache crashes. No messages are logged in the error log until it restarts. I know ImageMagick 7 uses magick instead of convert, so I have that change.
Here are the pertinent entries from the PHP file:
- $wgSVGConverterPath = ;
- $wgUseImageMagick = true;
- $wgUseImageResize = true;
- $wgTmpDirectory = true;
- $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = 'C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16/magick.exe';
I don't actually have a "Tmp" directory defined, but I couldn't find a setting that sets that.
Any idea of what I can check? Frecklefoot (talk) 17:22, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- When I last installed IM under Windows, it also had a convert.exe coming with it. I don't know for certain, but it might be that both, magick.exe and convert.exe just are identical.
- Note that your value for $wgTmpDirectory is invalid! It has to be a valid path!
- What the line $wgSVGConverterPath = ; does is not clear to me. Defining a variable with an equal sign, but then putting nothing at all behind it looks close to a syntax error. I would just leave this line away. 83.135.227.123 (talk) 18:00, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry about the $wgSVGConverterPath confusion. I guess it got wikified out. What it's supposed to look like is:
- $wgSVGConverterPath = '';
- Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try changing $wgTmpDirectory to a path. Frecklefoot (talk) 18:29, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I changed $wgTmpDirectory to a valid path, but it still doesn't work. Thanks for pointing it out, though! Frecklefoot (talk) 20:14, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- magick.exe is the wrong executable. There should be a convert.exe file. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 01:20, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
- "Convert" was deprecated for ImageMagick 7. The new name of the conversion executable is Magick.exe. There is no convert.exe. Frecklefoot (talk) 17:12, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, in the latest version, there are no less than nine (9) executables, which all have the same size: magick.exe is one of them, but there also are identify, composite, compare and convert.exe.
- The difference between magick.exe and convert.exe is 2 bytes out of around 16MB. 83.135.237.233 (talk) 18:41, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- I installed ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16 and I see six executables and one of them is the uninstaller:
- dcraw
- ffmpeg
- hp2xx
- imdisplay
- magick
- unins000
- I was confused that I didn't see convert anywhere, but somewhere I saw that it was changed to magick and convert was gone. It was actually about another user trying to get ImageMagick to work with MediaWiki. I see that the latest version of ImageMagick is now 7.0.4.0. I'll uninstall 7.0.3 and install the new version and see what I get. Frecklefoot (talk) 19:38, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, installed 7.0.4.0 and saw in the install Wizard that you can choose to "Install legacy utilities (e.g. convert)". Selecting that gives me 14 executables, one of which is, indeed, convert. Apache still crashes when I try to display a thumbnail, however. And nothing is recorded in the error log except for the fact that it crashed and is restarting. I'm sure that just one of my settings is wrong, though. Here are my pertinent settings now:
# Image Converter $wgSVGConverter = 'ImageMagick'; # Image converter path $wgSVGConverterPath = ''; ## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory ## is writable, then set this to true: $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgUseImageResize = true; $wgTmpDirectory = 'D:/xampp/imagetemp'; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = 'C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-7.0.4-Q16/convert.exe'; # Path to jpegtran utility $wgJpegTran = 'D:/xampp/common/bin/'; # Path to tidy utility binary $wgTidyBin = 'D:/xampp/common/bin/';
- D:/xampp/common/bin/ doesn't exist, but I don't know if that is related or not. I don't know what the jpegtran utility or tidy utility are. D:/xampp/imagetemp does exist, and I set it was Read-only. I changed it so it was writable, but it keeps getting set back to Read-only. Frecklefoot (talk) 20:11, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- If jpegTran and Tidy are not installed in your system, you can just remove the two lines from your configuration. ImageMagick can also work without them.
- It is important that the temp directory actually is working. Does it work, if you remove the line on $wgTmpDirectory so that you just leave $wgTmpDirectory unchanged? MediaWiki should find the right path automatically - at least in theory.
- $wgImageMagickConvertCommand should be ok as you have it.
- If the above changs alone are not yet solving the problem, then I would set up debugging like so:
$wgDebugLogFile = "D:/xampp/mediawiki-debug.log";83.135.237.233 (talk) 00:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)- Thanks for your reply! I'll give those suggestions a shot when I get some time. Frecklefoot (talk) 17:29, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- SOLVED. A friend noticed that Apache was running as a 32-bit process. The ImageMagick I had installed was 64-bit, so couldn't access it. I installed the 32-bit version of ImageMagick and PRESTO! Thanks for all your help! Turning on the logging was the first step in finding the solution. :) Frecklefoot (talk) 17:07, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
Help me, blank page after migration to new hosting
I can't understand where is the problem in this migration of my Mediawiki 1.23 from my old hosting to the newone Ovh.
- I have my wiki.sql backup and I Imported it on my new database wikinew. All fine in populating the db
- I uploaded via Ftp the directory mediawiki with all files in www folder from old hosting to the newone in the same position
- I changed the configuration on LocalSettings.php for the access to the newdatabase
But when I try to go to the Index page I have a blank page with only a twitter button. If I make page source I see this code that probably is only a part of the my index page:

Installation doesn't continue it stops at you may use your wiki.
Once the system gives me the localsettings.php file i copy it to the root directory with index.php file then click on you may use your wiki and it just keeps on resending me the php file as if it doesn't find the index file i don't know. If i try to reinstall it actually detecs the localsettings.php file and asks for the upgrade code with i fetch in the localsettings.php fil end write down in the bof it the updates the databases then "you may use your wiki" appears and it keeps on returning me the "use my wiki" link and doesn't go anywhere. I installed the wiki in a sub domain at Affiliate-Wiki.Subvert.biz subvert.biz the main domain is in public_html/ so i put mediawiki in /public_html/mediawiki-1.28.0/ In the localsetting.php file i have
$wgScriptPath = "/index.php";
- The protocol and server name to use in fully-qualified URLs
$wgServer = "https://affiliate-wiki.subvert.biz";
i accessed the installation going to affiliate-wiki.subvert.biz/mediawiki-1.28-0/mw-config/indez.php
And when i go to Affiliate-wiki.Subvert.biz it just gives me the installation screen to restart. In the browser it redirects to http://affiliate-wiki.subvert.biz/index.php/index.php?page=DBSettings
it just stalls at the end of the installation or just keeps giving you new localsettings.php files 67.71.189.81 (talk) 20:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Redirects
Hi. I have a problem with redirects on my wiki: http://dragon-mania-legends-wiki.mobga.me/Special:SpecialPages. The Broken redirects special page doesn't get updated, even if the problem was fixed ago and I ran php updateSpecialPages.php. The same goes for double redirects. Also, the problem that appears at double redirects (the special page showing the double redirect 44 times on the page) also occurs in the list of redirects, where each redirect and the page it redirects to are shown multiple times. I ran fixDoubleRedirects.php, but it didn't solve any problem. What else could I try? │Star-Warden│ 22:46, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
- The problem is that the pagelinks table is not being updated, so for MediaWiki the redirects aren't fixed yet. And that's caused by a malfunction in the Manual:Job queue. Looking at [1] there are currently 1660523 (!) pending jobs.
- You should first clear that queue of jobs, by executing runJobs.php (probably with a --maxjobs or --maxtime parameter to limit the number of jobs executed, since it may take a while to complete).
- Once done, set Manual:$wgRunJobsAsync to false, and see if the number of jobs, when doing edits, doesn't grow without limit...
- Just another reason to fix T142751 once and for all. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 11:44, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- I see that that script is now set to false by default. Shouldn't I just pull the recent changes through git? │Star-Warden│ 18:00, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- Only if you want to run unstable software, otherwise just change the setting in LocalSettings.php as I suggested and wait for the next stable or security release. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:41, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- I am still getting the same issue, even though I ran runJobs.php and set that string to false... │Star-Warden│ 20:21, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- Did you run runJobs.php? Did it run without errors? If you ran it with --maxjobs or --maxtime, you should execute it as many times as needed to bring the number of jobs to 0. The number of jobs has decreased slightly, but still several orders of magnitude over what should be a sane value. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:40, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- I ran it but without any parameters and I received some error with max memory reached or something. I forgot to screenshot it. I remember I ran this same script three or four weeks ago and I didn't get any issues. I am not sure if it's because of setting that string to false or not, but edits aren't updated in real time. It takes a few minutes for new edits to be reflected or new images to be displayed. Isn't there a faster way to run all the jobs? Because bringing a number over 1,5 million to 0 would take an enormous amount of time. │Star-Warden│ 22:24, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- Most of them are repeats from the same pages, so they'll be automatically discarded when picked. The "fastest" way to run those jobs is to run them through this script, either all of them, or in small batches. Using --memory-limit you can increase the memory limit so it doesn't fail with max memory errors (see documentation linked from that script).
- You can also run rebuildall.php to "apply" those pending edits, but that won't clear the job queue. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 22:54, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- I will try to run all the jobs, but it's going to take a while. Is it possible to have multiple people running the same script from different computers? To speed up the process. │Star-Warden│ 10:04, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- I don't think the script is designed to be run in parallel. One single script can run several jobs in parallel with --procs, though. Note also that the database is (usually) a single instance. If it has been weeks since it's not working, it should not be critical to wait a while for the script to complete. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 11:41, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- Is there a way to have putty rerun the script, automatically, everytime it stops? I keep getting memory exhausted after it ran about 8 thousand jobs and I have to restart it again (usually happens every quarter of an hour). I tried using max with --memory-limit, but it said it wasn't able to allocate the memory needed or something along those lines (can't check right now). │Star-Warden│ 17:44, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- You can create a cron job and execute the script every 15 minutes or so. However, I'd be cautious of not executing the script if it's already running, you may get more memory errors and maybe executing the same job multiple times, so I'd execute them with a --maxtime limit to ensure it finishes before a new instance is run. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:08, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- I am not sure it worked? I added this line when I was presented with the file to edit: */10 * * * * /srv/dml-wiki/maintenance/php runJobs.php --maxtime 900 then I saved with ctrl + x. But I don't see the number of jobs decreasing. I opened the crontab with my user account instead of root using sudo crontab -e and used the one from /bin/nano. Does it take some time for it to start or did I miss a step? │Star-Warden│ 08:09, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Now that I am looking at the API, it seems that more jobs are added. Was this happening before the cron or once I "set up" the cron? │Star-Warden│ 08:45, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Some jobs just add more jobs to the table, because are "containers". Also, new edits to the wiki may add new jobs.
- You should look at the cron logs to see if they're executed. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:31, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- So, I looked at the log and from here (http://prntscr.com/dm47dw) it seems it's being executed. Yet the API shows more jobs than before. Before it was under 1,63m now it's over 1,63m. Have I added the correct command for the cronjob to run? │Star-Warden│ 10:55, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- I still didn't figure where I was going wrong, so I just disabled the cron job and started running the script manually. │Star-Warden│ 15:17, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Nevermind. I found the issue. I forgot to add cd before the command. Everything seems to be working fine, for now. By my calculations, it should take about 12 full days for the jobs to hit 0. Thanks a lot for your help! │Star-Warden│ 22:54, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- I have to reopen the topic because the redirects still haven't been fixed. The thing is, the number of jobs won't go below 6 no matter what I do? Any workaround to this job issue or preferably to the redirects? │Star-Warden│ 20:37, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Issue: Have to log in every few minutes
I have an issue with my MediaWiki installation, which causes to make me log in every few minutes. It is a closed Wiki and I always have to log in two or three times to get it started. When I edit something, I can't just save the changes. When I'm quick, I can use 'Preview' and then save changes. But usually I get an error message telling me that there was some data loss and I have to log out (!) and in again - and only when I'm lucky it works at the first relog.
So far, I read that that most likely is a problem caused by cookies. I checked, re-checked and the checked again, but my browser accepts cookies. The issue is the same with any browser I treid so far.
As you can imagine, this bug is heavily annoying. Does someone have a hint how to solve this? MueheM (talk) 08:07, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

- Hello, at first thanks for the advice. I followed AhmadF.Cheemas links and came to the same conclusion. Therefore I set
- $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ANYTHING;
- $wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;
- I have a hosted webspace, so I had to set the parameters into the LocalSettings.php. Alas, there was no change in the sites behavior. I cleaned the cache along with all cookies, but the error is persistent.
- Could the problem result from having the Wiki not in its own webspace but in a subdomain? MueheM (talk) 13:44, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- I tried all possible combinations of $wgMainCacheType and $wgSessionCacheType set at CACHE_ANYTHING, CACHE_ACCEL and CACHE_DB, but the problem seems rather unaffected by it. Does someone has any idea what else may cause this problem and how it could be solved? MueheM (talk) 11:05, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
- Maybe take a look at the last two comments in this Project:Support desk/Flow/2016/07#h-Can't_login_or_create_user_after_upgrade_to_1.27-2016-07-05T08:20:00.000Z. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:29, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
- I did exactly what you advised: made a subfolder 'tmp' (set at 750), added 'session_save_path("tmp");' at the end of the LocalSettings.php.
- The error is pretty unimpressed by it. Had someone a hint for me what I could try to find the error step-by-step, perhaps? MueheM (talk) 06:30, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
How can I (completely) delete a Category
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I know a category will disappear on the special page if there are no more references to it, however unused categories are still listet if I use the API to get all categories. I already get them sorted out by using the 'acmin' parameter, however is there a way to really remove unused categories? David Cajus (talk) 10:56, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- Just delete them like any other page. 121.200.232.58 (talk) 01:24, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- when i created a new category, but never created the page, the category still exists-- still listed in Special:Categories.
- As a result, it's still listed in user category-tools (such as Extension:CategorySuggest).

Mediawiki on Microsoft Windows 2008 R2. Thumbnail problem
Hello, I installed MediaWiki 1.28.0-0 and ImageMagick-7.0.4-0-Q16-x64 on Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 When I try to add some graphic files, i get this error:
Error creatintg thumbnail. Invalid Parameter - "80"
Error code: 4
What does it mean? Is here somebody who set up his wiki on Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 and use different graphics program then ImageMagick? Which program do You recomend? Halkerrr (talk) 14:35, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- Anyone something? Im trying to set up this wiki in my company and i said it will be done by the end of this year. Everything is done except this error. People from ImageMagick said that they cannot help. Halkerrr (talk) 08:57, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- I found [2]. MediaWiki should be working with IM 7 just fine.
- Have you configured Imagemagick correctly in LocalSettings.php? See Manual:Image administration for a first overview! 83.135.225.31 (talk) 09:28, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- I checked it couple times, tried different ways. Now it is set up like this:
- Halkerrr (talk) 10:16, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
# Image converter path $wgSVGConverterPath = 'C:/ImageMagick'; ## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory ## is writable, then set this to true: $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = 'convert.exe';
- Do you know how to upload videos 154.76.2.14 (talk) 19:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- And this is working?
- Note that $wgImageMagickConvertCommand has to contain an absolute path! See Manual:$wgImageMagickConvertCommand! 83.135.225.31 (talk) 10:45, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah i tried also with absolute path.
- It looked like this, does not worked too.
- Halkerrr (talk) 11:04, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
# Image converter path $wgSVGConverterPath = ''; ## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory ## is writable, then set this to true: $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = 'C:/ImageMagick/convert.exe';
- With an absolute path it is correct.
- I would now enable debugging by setting Manual:$wgDebugLogFile in LocalSettings.php. It has to point to the debug file, into which MediaWiki should write the log.
- Once you have the log file configured, view an image page, on which a thumbnail should get created and afterwards look into the debug log.
- It should contain information on the request, e.g. the exact command, which MediaWiki tried to convert the image and also potential output, which happened as a result. 83.135.225.31 (talk) 12:09, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- When i changed to absolute path like in post under, error is like:
- unable to load module `C:\ImageMagick\modules\coders\IM_MOD_RL_JPEG_.dll': The specified module could not be found.
- @ error/module.c/OpenModule/1302.
- convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `JPEG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/504.
- convert.exe: no images defined `\xampp\tmp/transform_09c80238bf68.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3258.
- Error code: 1
- Funny but under this path C:\ImageMagick\modules\coders file IM_MOD_RL_JPEG_.dll is normaly accesible. What do You think is reason for that? Halkerrr (talk) 12:19, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- I ran debug file. Lots of things are written here and actualy i dont know from where is not good :] Please help me analyse it. I paste some code here and please tell me if you need more to diagnose my problem.

MediaWiki save token to cookie problem without "Keep me logged in"
Hello, I installed MediaWiki 1.27.1 with using PHP 7.0.13. I am unable to save Token (say like mediawiki_en_Token having some value) in cookie once user click on 'Log In' button but without checking checkbox of "Keep me logged in". It is generating and saving when user check the checkbox but not when he do not check it.

Uploading files like doc docx pdf
I used a media wiki in my old job and it was simple to upload documents for others to download / view
I'd just type File:Filename.docx and when i'd save the page there would be a link i'd click the link and i'd get the option to upload a file so when others clicked the link they could download the file i've uploaded.
But i've installed my own media wiki.. and it doesn't work.
I've search all over and nothing seems to answer my question. the php.ini file is set to allow uploads.
any help would be great. 31.187.45.78 (talk) 13:38, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- the code i typed was [ [ file name . docx ] ] ( without spaced. 31.187.45.78 (talk) 13:39, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- sorry.. it's [ [ file: filename . docx ] ] 31.187.45.78 (talk) 13:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- You probably need to explicitly allow filenames having these particular file extensions.
- The following should work in your LocalSettings.php.
$wgFileExtensions = array_merge( $wgFileExtensions, array( 'pdf', 'doc','docx' ) );- See Manual:$wgFileExtensions. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 15:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
pt and pt-br distiction
I know it's lazy to commission this job to someone else (and chances are that I'm asking this in the wrong place), but could you please send me a link to the discussion where it was decided to set apart pt and pt-br translations? I find this to be a significant inconvenience, specially when you consider the increasing effort to establish a single official orthography for the Portuguese language.
The worst part of it is having to translate every single page twice, which is pretty pointless since the resulting difference is insignificant at best. ArgonSim (talk) 17:17, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- As I said at Extension talk:UniversalLanguageSelector#h-pt_and_pt-br-2017-01-29T22:22:00.000Z, if a message is translated the same way in the two variants, there is no need to translate it twice because MediaWiki uses language fallback to show the existing translation to users who choose the variant.
- Also, we need both (and more) if we ever get the real LanguageConverter for Portuguese instead of my gadget LanguageConverter (see pt:WP:Conversor de idiomas, phab:T28121 and pt:WP:Esplanada/propostas/Conversor de idiomas para as variantes do português (30mai2010)).
- For the creation of both translations, see the oldest ticket documented at pt:WP:Histórico de configurações. Helder 11:23, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

- It seems like you are using Manual:File_cache, but are not allowed to write to the location where the cache is writing (either permissions, or an SELinux ACL restriction issue). Either make sure you can write to it, or disable the file cache. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 09:43, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
Recent changes empty after upgrade to 1.27

After my upgrade from 1.23.11 to 1.27.1 my recent changes are empty. Anybody with a hint what to do? Mzeecedric (talk) 23:53, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
- I tried rebuilding the recent changes table via maintenance/rebuildall.php but still no changes
- Rebuilding recentchanges table:
- Rebuilding $wgRCMaxAge=7776000 seconds (90 days)
- Clearing recentchanges table for time range...
- Loading from page and revision tables...
- Inserting from page and revision tables...
- Updating links and size differences...
- Loading from user, page, and logging tables...
- Flagging bot account edits...
- Flagging auto-patrolled edits...
- Removing duplicate revision and logging entries...
- Deleting feed timestamps.
- Done.
- I also receive an error when running rebuildall:
- ...
- 1100
- 1200
- Es ist ein Datenbankabfragefehler aufgetreten.
- Abfrage: INSERT IGNORE INTO `page_props` (pp_page,pp_propname,pp_value,pp_sortkey) VALUES ('1287','notoc',,NULL),('1287','noeditsection',,NULL)
- Funktion: LinksUpdate::incrTableUpdate
- Fehler: 1054 Unknown column 'pp_sortkey' in 'field list' (localhost)
- Mzeecedric (talk) 00:29, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- Your database of MediaWiki 1.27 should have the column pp_sortkey in the page_props table. Have you forgotten to run update.php after doing the upgrade? This should have added the missing column...
- Merry Christmas to you anyways! 83.135.236.119 (talk) 02:46, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- Merry Christmas! I ran php maintenance/update.php via console. But you're right, the column was missing... After running update.php again the column ist there.
- But I still have the problem with missing recent updates, although rebuildall.php was run. Mzeecedric (talk) 22:51, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- In your first post you wrote that the recent changes would be empty. The rebuildall.php script should have added entries to the database table recentchanges.
- Is that table still empty now? Or are there now rows in it, but new rows are not getting added? 83.135.224.56 (talk) 00:02, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply. The recentchanges table is filled. But still nothing shows in Special:Recent Changes. Changes should be there, there have been quite some changes in December Mzeecedric (talk) 00:01, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
- Note also that Recent Changes have a limit of entries to display by date, so if there has been no edit since more than 3 days you need to adjust the filters to display them Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 18:00, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
- I finally discovered, that I always took an old backup... changes where from 2015. After manually creating a fresh backup everything was done. Also fixed my backup-script. Sorry for bugging you and thanks for your help anyway! Mzeecedric (talk) 20:49, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
Anonymous uploads don't show on Special:Log uploads
I allow anons to upload images to website and it works correctly. The recent changes lists the uploads as expected. But special:log doesn't list anons uploads, only registered ones. I checked if they are logged in the database table - and they are, so I guess the software is simply filtering anon uploads. How can this be changed? I have the old v. 1.15.1. Yonidebest (talk) 19:49, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- You first should update the wiki to a supported version. These currently are 1.23, 1.27 and 1.28. 1.23 and 1.27 have long term support with 1.27 being supported two years longer than 1.23.
- I think there might be a way to change what Special:Log is displaying using a hook. I have checked the available hooks, but at least on a quick glance I could not find one, which would be run inside that special page so that you could change the SQL query from there... 83.135.224.56 (talk) 22:12, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- Regarding the upgrade, I am afraid an upgrade will cause more damage than good. I have a custom CSS design (which will probably break), custom JS (which will probably not work properly) and Extension:AWC's Forum (which is now obsolete, which means I might loose all the data stored in the forum). I am not a programmer and the site is free so I can't afford to spend any money on such an upgrade, unfortunately.
- I was actually thinking of a fix to the PHP file which displays the log, but I don't know what that might be and couldn't find anyone with the same problem (obviously, anon uploads isn't popular). Yonidebest (talk) 07:26, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

LocalFileLockError"
Hi, when I try to upload any file, mediawiki show an error like this:
Warning: set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/xxxx/public_html/wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 3407 Exception encountered, of type "LocalFileLockError"
I don't change anything.... it appears just for all the files that I try ti upload with all the users.
Thanks.
G. 81.184.42.86 (talk) 00:51, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- This message means that in the PHP configuration, executing function set_time_limit() has been disallowed. The right solution for this problem is to allow this function again.
- A workaround would be to set $wgTransactionalTimeLimit to a smaller value: If you set $wgTransactionalTimeLimit to something smaller than the max_execution_time of PHP, then the error also will no longer appear. Note however that this will limit the time, which POST requests can be running before they get aborted. It might be that you actually do not want to set this value too low. See $wgTransactionalTimeLimit for more details! 83.135.239.136 (talk) 02:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, My wiki is not on the internet, rather I am editing it locally. It worked perfectly. I moved my wiki from one computer to another. Now when I open it, it says the following message- "Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.
(Cannot access the database)"
I am using XXAMP (on both computers), and both computers are windows. Can someone help me? Thanks, Kianlolcat99.
Edit: This is Mediawiki 1.26 Kianlolcat99 (talk) 02:53, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- In LocalSettings.php you have the database credentials, which MediaWiki is using to connect to the database. On the new server these credentials obviously are different from the old one.
- Make sure that database name, MySQL username, password and host are correct! 83.135.239.136 (talk) 03:23, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- It could be a problem with the ports. Be sure to check those and check that you haven't changed the MySQL username or password. Reception123 (talk) 16:23, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- Ok I will check them then. When I do both of the things you suggested, I will report what happened. Kianlolcat99 (talk) 22:01, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- 83.135.239.136, do I have to update my media wiki version? Kianlolcat99 (talk) 23:02, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- No, to get this problem solved you don't have to update MediaWiki. All you have to do is adjust the database variables in LocalSettings.php. Then MW 1.26 will work again.
- However, when you are looking at Version lifecycle you will notice that MW 1.26 no longer is supported. So you in fact should upgrade - in order to keep your system safe. 83.135.232.71 (talk) 23:17, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- What database variables do I have to adjust? Kianlolcat99 (talk) 17:07, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- Manual:Configuration settings#Database settings.
- Setting
$wgShowSQLErrorsto true may also display a more detailed error message. - Be also sure that the database server is running. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:48, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Issue with uploading files
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Dear all,
First of all, happy holidays!
I'm writing for help as I've exhausted google information and still nothing changed.
In short I encountered the message: Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/e/ea". when I tried to upload a file.
Am using Redhat 7 enterprise, with a mediawiki version of mediawiki-1.27.1
I did try a variety of tricks. The owner and group is already apache (redhat version of the ubuntu counterpart of www-data), and the permission is already 755, but the problem sticks.
I checked up the page of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads and went through step by step, I couldn't find anything obviously wrong. Can anyone give me some advices?
Thanks a lot in advance! Yimingleon (talk) 12:54, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- If permissions are correct (just be sure they're set recursively), problem may be SELinux, that may be blocking the creation of new files/folders for the webserver. See if it's enabled, disable it, and see if the issue persists, then configure it properly. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 15:49, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Ciencia AI poder for answering! I'm not sure if I know how exactly to disable such settings.
- I tried modifying /etc/sysconfig/selinux SELINUX=disabled and the old problem seems persists. Yimingleon (talk) 01:11, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
- Oh wait, I forgot to reboot my server, and after reboot, the problem solved! It indeed is due to SELinux issues. I think we can call this case closed. Thanks a lot Ciencia AI poder! Yimingleon (talk) 01:29, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry to bring this issue back. The issue came back surprisingly.
- After SELinux disabled, the same issue sticks. Anyone got any idea what else could be the reason?
- Thanks a lot in advance! Yimingleon (talk) 10:20, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- Check if it's really disabled ( https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/sec-selinux-status-viewing.html ), and check permissions again Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:34, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you again for your prompt response. Here's the detailed results:

- There's a clear mismatch here. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 16:09, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Page Edits not shown for logged out users
This has not been a problem until recently.
I log into my account on my mediawiki page (my account has admin rights) and make an edit to a page The edit does not show up for other users. If I log out, the edit is not shown - but there is an entry in the page history for the edit. Also I can change image files, and those changes show up for all users.
I have cleared my browser cache, logged out, logged in again. The page edit is not visible unless I am logged in. If I log in, I see the edit.
I don't know what has changed in the site. I am the sole admin. Mick0sky (talk) 17:24, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
- also, even when I am logged OUT, I can still see the changes show up in the diffs for the page.
- EDIT and I can see the edit in the source tab. Mick0sky (talk) 17:29, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
- What MediaWiki version? If it's 1.27 or 1.28, it may be that the Manual:Job queue is not running properly. See how many jobs are pending, and if you see a lot (a hundred or more) consider set $wgRunJobsAsync to false and/or manually call runJobs.php. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:39, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
- Ciencia, has there been a change that the job queue now also handles updates of regular pages? Note we are not speaking about an un-updated category here...
- Mick0sky, what happens when after editing a page, you purge the cache of that page using action=purge? Does it then still display the old revision? Or is it showing the correct version then? 83.135.234.235 (talk) 00:46, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the replies. Using api.php ? action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics
- I see:
- jobs="0"
- I just tried purging of cache and still the old revision is displayed. (only when logged out)
- MediaWiki: 1.15.5-2squeeze4
- PHP: 5.3.3-7+squeeze29 (cgi-fcgi)
- MySQL: 5.1.73-1+deb6u1-log Mick0sky (talk) 16:37, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- Would an update to recent version of mediawiki be the best option for (attempted) fix? If I did an update would any of these "invisible" edits be lost? Mick0sky (talk) 18:02, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- Version 1.15 is really old and really insecure. Yes, updating it is a good idea!
- No edits will be lost in that process. Edits are saved inside the database (e.g. in the database tables text, revision and page). The recent changes table can always be rebuilt again based on the information from other tables.
- But, you should make sure that you are having a recent and working(!) backup of the wiki before you start the upgrade.
- For details see upgrading! With your PHP version you coul duse MediaWiki 1.23 or 1.26, but not newer versions. And don't hesitate to ask again here, if you have more questions! 83.135.233.127 (talk) 18:19, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- In the meantime would trying to execute rebuildFileCache.php be a reasonable thing to try? Or one of the other scripts in the maintenance directory? Mick0sky (talk) 21:33, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- You could run it, but there are a few things to note: This script rebuilds the file cache. This cache contains rendered HTML of wiki pages. By default, $wgUseFileCache is set to false, so that MediaWiki will not use the file cache in which case running this script does not do anything useful.
- If the file cache however is used, then running rebuildFileCache.php might be worth a try. However, I would upgrade anyway. 83.135.233.127 (talk) 21:43, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

- Googling your error message gave me http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/726847 and Manual:$wgPHPSessionHandling, which I have just created for you.
- According to SessionManager.php, this error is happening when someone used session_id(). So not using session_id() should solve the issue. 83.135.234.235 (talk) 02:31, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- Instead of using session_id() and other session_* functions, use MediaWiki\Session\SessionManager! 83.135.234.235 (talk) 03:04, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

- I am having the same error , if you change the validateSessionId function , the regex pattern to
'/^[-,a-zA-Z0-9]{1,128}$/' it seems to fix that error, but then the wiki does not work, if you click on any page you are asked to login again, and it just gets stuck in a loop. This new session manager does not work.Leon.lewis (talk) 14:31, 3 February 2017 (UTC) - This allows the length of the session id to be beween 1 and 128, which is probabely not, what you want. My php version had a length of 26, so I changed it to the following:
- return is_string( $id ) && preg_match( '/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{26,}$/', $id ); 2A02:168:6410:2:4170:B902:D894:B0C (talk) 11:57, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- I solved a similar problem. It was a session problem.
- My server wasn't configured to handle sessions in php.
- I had to edit the php.ini file to handle correctly the sessions with the property "session.save_path".
- Actually, in my case, i had to do it on the .htaccess file. Matcafe (talk) 18:35, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- This is a bit different than the session.save_path issue.
- I've created T159567 after some tests. Basically, since MediaWiki 1.27, sessions are broken if you have PHP configured with session.auto_start = 1. Please disable session.auto_start in PHP. I've only reproduced the "Invalid session ID" error if session.auto_start = 1 and session.hash_bits_per_character = 6 on MediaWiki 1.27. On 1.26 it silently discards any session data. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:15, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks Cienacial Al Poder. I also encountered the same situation when I upgraded mediawiki to 1.34 using php 7.3 in debian buster. My php.ini was wrong and corrected with your description. Working fine now. Thanks again. Ranjithsiji (talk) 07:56, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for this information. I encountered this when trying to test Mediawiki 1.35.0-rc.2 locally on MAMP. In case it helps anyone else on MAMP, I just had to edit the php.ini file in MAMP/bin/php/(myphpversion)/conf/php.ini and set session.auto_start to 0. Thank you again.

CreateWiki logs creations (recenthchanges) on wrong wiki
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
We have tried to figure this out ourselves but we can't seem to find the exact error so I am asking here. Recently, after the 1.28 upgrade the extension CreateWiki (https://github.com/miraheze/CreateWiki) logs wiki creations on the farmer log on Meta wiki but they appear on the Recent Changes of the wiki that has been created rather than Meta wiki. Before, they all appeared on Meta which we want to happen now. How could we change this?

Navbox not showing correctly
I have used Special:Export and Import to Export Template:Navbox from Wikipedia and import it to my mediawiki site, i have also added Common.css page and added Scribunto plugin, but my navbox is looking broken. I have also made mediawiki on localhost (via wamp) and navbox shows as it should. This is a picture how it looks on my site (https://s23.postimg.org/pl0oki5rf/pic1.png), and this is how it should look like - it's on my localhost (https://s27.postimg.org/7yicpmjxf/pic2.png)
I don't know what could be a problem, because i think i have done everything i already done for my localhost.

SOLVED: Parsoid keeps complaining about invalid domain
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi there! I am struggling with setting up Mediawiki (works) with VisualEditor (almost works) and parsoid (doesn't work). I'd appreciate any input on this.
I installed mediawiki and visualeditor on my (debian) server which works fine so far. I cannot configure parsoid in a functional way; whenever i try to save a new article the log contains an entry about invalid domain. I followed all the hints in the manual and the troubleshooting section of the parsoid project, but to no avail.
My config.yaml: http://pastebin.com/sxgQtHkx
My LocalSettings.php: http://pastebin.com/jT3UJfrB
I tried LOTS of possible configurations with hostname, IP address, localhost and whatever. A line of my parsoid.log looks like this:
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's apache 2.4.10 with php7 and parsoid 0.6.1, btw. Cheers,

Problems converting files
I have your Media Monkey program. I am using it to convert a ton of files. It gives me an error about "file names are too long and duplicate files". It tells me to edit them, but I see no place to do it. There are a bunch of check boxes, and I am not sure which to check. If I leave everything checked what will it do? Will it remove both files or leave a single non-duplicate? For the file names that it says are too long, will checking it cause the program to shorten it or simply not convert it?

Upload files specific to pages
Hi there, I am new to wiki, can we upload files specific to the page we are on? And have a list of the uploads for that page? Also, we are having trouble embedding a PDF on a page. So far it only shows a thumbnail or a link. Any ideas? Thanks! 47.37.154.23 (talk) 06:06, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
Problem: With Firefox, there appears to be templates limit exceeded. It seems to be problem with Firefox only and for EEwiki only.
How to fix this?

- There's no limit exceeded, but apparently an unclosed div, table, template or reference Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

So, after trial and error getting parsoid setup, i was finally able to get it and i get this error.
The wiki is hosted on a hosting site and the parsoid server is also hosted elswhere.
Below are my settings for the wiki localsettings.php and the parsoid config file, config.yaml Parsoid is on Ubuntu 14.04.5
LocalSettings.php:
$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] = array(
"url" => "http://wiki_site_ip:8142",
"domain" => "localhost",
"prefix" => "localhost" );
Config.yaml
- # This is the only required parameter,
# the URL of you MediaWiki API endpoint.
uri: 'http://mywikisite/w/api.php'
# The "domain" is used for communication with Visual Editor
# and RESTBase. It defaults to the hostname portion of
# the `uri` property below, but you can manually set it
# to an arbitrary string.
domain: 'mywikisite' # optional
Now im sure one of these must be incorrect? Not sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Tormentium (talk) 17:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- (I've edited your question so that it looks like reasonable php code... Please confirm that this changes I made match what is in your LocalSettings.php.)
- domain in your config.yaml should match the domain in the wgVirtualRestConfig.
- url should LocalSettings should point to the parsoid server.
- Would it be possible to share the URL of your wiki? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:11, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
"Template used on this page: " no longer shows up
I have two mediawikis (same version and host), and one of them no longer shows the "Template used on this page:" part during an edit. How can I get that back?
After some more troubleshooting, I also don't seem to have jobs finishing off. Even when I run runJobs.php I end up with a pile left. Tenbergen (talk) 18:03, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- Can you provide the URL of your wiki? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:04, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- It's http://ccmdb.kuality.ca but it's largely set up to be a private wiki, so without an account there is not much to see. Is there something specific you would look at? Tenbergen (talk) 15:13, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
- (Ooo! I have a friend who runs WikEm.org -- It looks like there is a chance you guys could collaborate, if you're interested.)
- What is the output of runJobs.php? How often does it run?
- The templates used on a page doesn't show up (in my tests) when you're editing only a single section of the page. Maybe you're not editing the whole page? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:40, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
- (WikiEM looks interesting, a much more public use wiki than ours, we really are just documenting a database. I don't know if there is much overlap, though. If your friend thinks there is room for collaboration please ask him/her to contact me at my tenbergen account on wikipedia.)
- You are right, the templates show on the bottom when editing the full article. Much relieved.
- runJobs is crontabbed to run daily over night. Also, we have 20 unenthusiastic users, so we don't get more than 100 edits/day unless we are on a rare binge. We have two wikis much like that for different projects. On one, the api (https://ccmdb.kuality.ca/api.php?action=query&format=jsonfm&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics) gets down to very low or 0 jobs to run when runJobs is done. On the other we always have a few hundered/thousand in the queue. If I run runjobs manually, and then have a look at the jobs table and count job_cmd entries, I have avout 800 refreshlinks jobs in there. If I run refreshlinks manually I end up with about 400 refreshlinks left, but then I get 4277 htmlCacheUpdate ones. we only have 2,725 regular namespace pages, so I wonder if that is every page, category, property etc. If I run runJobs again I am back where I started, with about 800 refreshlink jobs in the table. Tenbergen (talk) 22:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
- There's something causing those jobs to fail. If running them from the console doesn't get any useful output, try setting a debug log file in case it displays an error message or something. Try also with error_reporting( -1 ); Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:17, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

No Download link for LocalSettings.php after upgrade to MW 1.27.1
There is no Download Link for the LocalSettings.php after installing MW 1.27.1 Install is in a new directory.
Where is the LocalSettings.php file?
One cannot use the previous file since it fails for all sorts of extensions not yet being installed in the new MediaWiki environment.
Using SeaMonkey for the install. Never had a problem previously, since one could cut the file from a specific location and paste it in the wiki root directory. Ken Roy (talk) 20:46, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- Could you tell me what page you're on where you expect the download link to appear? I suspect you aren't going to the last page because the "Download LocalSettings.php" link is in big, bold letters there. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 20:57, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- Answering my own question. In frustration, I click the Regenerate LocalSettings (which is flagged as not recommended) when I was done, I did receive the Save As for the LocalSettings.php file.
- Not a cool implementation. Instead of having a link for You can Start Using the wiki (might be different, since short term memory often fails me), you should have wording that says "Copy previous LocalSettings.php to wiki root directory, or something like that, Or Regenerate LocalSettings if starting from scratch.
- Thanks in advance for considering updating the text.
- Ken Ken Roy (talk) 21:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- Recorded your request: Phab:T154335 ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 21:29, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- Mark,
- I was on the page that says Install/Upgrade complete. I tried to rename the LocalSettings.php to start over, but it still remembers that I completed the install.
- The page had a link that I could start using the Wiki and a button to regenerate the LocalSettings.
- Until, I regenerated the LocalSettings.php I did not get a Download link. I was doing a brand new install but using an existing database. That is normally how up do the upgrades every couple of years.
- So it could be a problem only when doing an upgrade from a new install.
- Ken Ken Roy (talk) 22:16, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- The usual way of doing an upgrade is to copy over the old LocalSettings.php file. It should basically be working, also without changes. Before doing anything in the updated installation, you would first update the extensions to the according version. And after that, you would run the update.php script.
- Upgrade tells you that in more detail! It also details updates for the LocalSettings.php file, but as far as extensions are concerned, the changes listed there are optional. 83.135.237.125 (talk) 01:29, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- running the update.php script is not possible when one does not have server access. Ken Roy (talk) 12:38, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- In that case you use the web updater. 83.135.231.138 (talk) 13:04, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- What's wrong with updating the way I am doing it? Where MediaWiki recognizes a previous version of the database and updates the schema? Ken Roy (talk) 18:17, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- There's nothing wrong with that, but that's probably an undocumented way of doing an upgrade. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 16:41, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
- Maybe it's undocumented. I thought the problem would be the missing download link for the LocalSettings.php file - actually there is no need for such a link. You just continue using the old file. 83.135.239.68 (talk) 21:12, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
- Or maybe I am just to much accustomed to this existing process already and I just don't see the improvement... 83.135.239.68 (talk) 01:30, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- I normally do not use the existing LocalSettings.php since previous parameters often do not apply. Maybe MW 1.23 did not indicate that I could use the Wiki before the Local Settings.php was completely generated.
- It's hard to remember when one only upgrades every 3 or 4 years. It looks like that method in fact is using the web updater at least in that it updates the database but does not require the secret key since there is no LocalSettings.php in place. Ken Roy (talk) 13:15, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- It is kind of an exception that stuff in LocalSettings.php is not backwards-compatible. These exceptions are listed on upgrading, but that you have to change LocalSettings.php during an upgrade normally is not necessary. Jörgi123 (talk) 13:26, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
SVN REL1_16/phase3 upgrade to current version
I have an old mediawiki installation 1.16 checked out via SVN from:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_16/phase3
I wanted to upgrade to the new version via svn switch (as described in this Wiki) but it seems mediawiki changed to git instead?
What is the best way to upgrade this installation to the current version without re-installing (and without loosing any data)? Nobaq (talk) 14:42, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- That is right, MediaWiki has been switched to use Git instead of SVN.
- Since SVN stuff basically only is present in the .svn folders, it should be enough to remove these folders.
- Then in an empty folder I would do a git clone and clone the current repository. After that I would do a git checkout of the branch or tag you want. That should give you the content of the MediaWiki Core repository in the correct version. Afterwards, I would follow upgrade for the next steps. (You possibly have to do a few extra steps to download dependencies e.g. for syntax highlighting, but that depends on which version you are upgrading to.) 83.135.231.138 (talk) 15:56, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
