Central Notice extension on a local install of mediawiki
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 run Extension:CentralNotice on a wiki I am building and hosting locally through MAMP.
I have saved the extension to my extensions folder.
I have included the following in my LocalSettings.php
wfLoadExtension( 'CentralNotice' );
$wgCentralNoticeGeoIPBackgroundLookupModule = 'ext.centralNotice.freegeoipLookup';
$wgNoticeInfrastructure = true;
I have run the php maintenance/update.php which results with:
Your composer.lock file is up to date with current dependencies!
Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; and $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information
However, when I go to Special Pages > Central notice admin and click on it I get the "Campaigns" tab with a title that says "Database error" and then under that it reads:
A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.
[2293914d25933ed8de7a0d38] 2018-09-01 02:18:54: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError"
The only tab that doesn't throw up an error is the "Allocation" tab.
I was wondering if I have to edit the extension itself to redirect the page to my own database? EnfantDeGuerre (talk) 02:23, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
- Try adding
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;at the end of your LocalSettings.php to get a more detailed error. For further details, see Manual:How to debug. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:16, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Mediawiki container resolving mysql hostname to wrong IP address
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 working with this dockerfile. "docker-compose up -d " is working. Error I get is https://i.imgur.com/iUNszg0.png.
It says IP ending in .0.3 access denied. The strange thing is, logging into the mediawiki container, apt-get update and apt-get install dnsutils so I can run nslookup on stonetomeDB shows that hostname resolving to .02 and the mediawiki container is .03. Why is it resolving the incorrect IP address? Beatingmyheadonthisissue (talk) 01:18, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- Mysql the .3 IP is the IP address for where you connect from.
- Mysql provides user permissions based not only on user name, but also on where the user is connecting from. wikiuser@localhost would be the user wikiuser connecting from the same machine where the database server is, and wikiuser@172.26.0.3 is when it connects from 172.26.0.3.
- You need to add permissions to user wikiuser@172.26.0.3 on the database server. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:39, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

- Or you can do that by uploading a rotated version.
- I think Commons is using a bot for such things. However, I guess that this bot is basically doing exactly that: It downloads the file, rotates it and uploads the rotated version. 2001:16B8:1072:9F00:2CBC:F801:6A9B:9C9 (talk) 19:13, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

- ConfirmEdit Simple CAPTCHA is working fine only ReCaptchaNoCaptcha is not working with VisualEditor.

Cannot write a template to generate external link using parameters
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 write a template that can output an external web link that incorporates use of a template parameter as part of the URL.
e.g., I'd like to make a Template:Google that could be called as
<nowiki>{{Google|search+string}}</nowiki>
that would output the wikitext:
"[https://www.google.com/search?q=search+string Here is the search you requested]"
I'd expect the solution to be something such as
"[https://www.google.com/search?q={{{1}}} Here is the search you requested]"
If I wanted this to be inside (say) a ref tag pair, I know I could do it via #tag:, but I want this done exactly as shown above, and there does not seem to be a NOP extension tag I could exploit using that approach.
Any ideas? DulcetTone (talk) 20:49, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- I overcame this by wrapping my invocation of {{{1}}} with urlencode, e.g.,
- Here is the search you requested DulcetTone (talk) 21:06, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Does varnish/squid provide better performance compare to file cache?
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.
The page Manual:File cache suggested that for a large wiki web cache proxy is better than file cache. Is it really true for mediawiki?
In our test for a wiki with about 800k views each day, where most of users are not logged in and there aren't hot article among visits.
It seems that file cache is more stable compare to varnish in this case. As we don't have enough money to buy ram for all the pages, but we can sure afford disk space for all pages. Therefore file cache have higher hit rate Deletedaccount4567435 (talk) 22:55, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- It could well be that (as you found by your own measurements) File caching is better for some scales than caching with a proxy like Squid or Varnish. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 22:58, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, it provides better performance, because caching is done in memory, and requests that hit the cache doesn't hit your app server, which means PHP isn't handling such requests and has more CPU time to do other things.
- Of course, it should be configured correctly. For example, by default, requests with cookies won't be cached/retrieved from cache, and cookies doesn't necessarily mean the user is logged-in. Many tracking sites like google-analytics, etc, set cookies for anons too.
- The key thing here is how many RAM do you want to spend on caching. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:24, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Ciencia Al Poder: the key here are the two phrases "for some scales" and "caching is done in memory". If the server doesn't have much RAM then the caching proxy may give up and pass to MediaWiki. In that case, if MediaWiki doesn't have file caching, then the DB lookup, etc, to render the page is going to be slower than just using file caching. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 15:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
i have no problem with saving drafts in mediawiki 1.15.4 since today. I haven't update it or anything. When i try to save draft page it says that "view is complete" but page stays still and dont go to "Approved site". When I view page console on button click i get: POST http://page_sample.com/mediawiki/index.php?action=ajax 0 () error
Any ideas what to do ?
Gregor P. 89.142.169.184 (talk) 13:12, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hi!
- MediaWiki itself does not provide a "draft" mechanism. It probably comes from an extension. AFAIK there are only two extensions that that provide drafts: Extension:FlaggedRevs and Extension:Approved Revs. Are you using one of them (probably Approved Revs)? If so, which one and in which version? You can check this by looking at the Special:Version page of your wiki.
- Please also check the PHP error_logs on your server (see Manual:How to debug). And maybe there are more information included in the response body of that AJAX request that you have mentioned. Please have a look at the network panel of your browser.
- The MediaWiki version you are using is heavily outdated. Please consider updating to current LTS version 1.31. Osnard (talk) 06:10, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Country and city attribution of geolocated item
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 make use of GeoData API to perform aforementioned task.
I found GeoData API very clean, simple and user friendly in retrieving various data according to geo location of the item. But there are difficulties with retrieving country/city affiliation of the item. While country can theoretically be get in a single request (also not always but only if being specified and not in name format but rather by its alphabetic designation), the city is possible to be get only for items which are cities by themselves. Let's imagine I want to determine in one request providing the coordinates of the Sagrada Familia temple the name of the item and that it is located in Barcelona, Spain. As far as I understood there is no way to do that. From the second hand this information does exist for every geo tagged item and is available for example through WikiData SPARQL query service. But then I'll need to perform a second request to WikiData which I would have liked to avoid by all means.
Looking on advice on the optimal strategy to perform the desired. If not is it possible to add the country/city attributes to GeoData list=geosearch attributes? 31.168.140.228 (talk) 09:32, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

- In your Wiki's version of the MediaWiki:Timeless.css page, add the following:AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 18:03, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
/* Website title text */ #p-logo-text a { font-family: "Dancing Script"; font-variant: none; } /* Username text */ #p-personal-label > b { font-family: "Dancing Script"; }
- It has effect to website title text, but not username text. PlavorSeol (talk) 18:18, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
- Did you remember to hard-refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R) the browser tab? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 20:07, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

- I also tried to clear both web brower's cache (Ctrl+Shift+Del) and server-side cache ($IP/cache), but neither of them works. PlavorSeol (talk) 04:52, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
- I've tested it and it is working on my side. Maybe, there is some other .css rule on your end that is interfering?
- Did you include the
> bpart at the end of the selector? Try using "!important" for the .css rule, like so:font-family: "Dancing Script" !important;. - I tested on the master branch of the skin, which branch are you using? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 09:54, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

- ==See also==
- Were you asking about the "Anonymous" text on the top right, which changes to "Your account" when logged-in, or the actual username which appears in the drop-down of "Your account" when logged-in?
- For the former case, use the following:AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:41, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

- Additional question (I'm sorry but I don't know about CSS selector well):
- How can I change font of 'Navigation', 'Wiki tools' and 'Page tools' text that shows on narrow screen as well?
- Is there an universal selector or wildcard for entire top bar (which includes search bar and some menus) in Timeless skin? (NOT for entire page(
*), just top bar) PlavorSeol (talk) 15:42, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- You can find the name of selectors for individual webpage elements by using the selection tool available from browser developer tools. Press Ctrl+Shift+C (wait a few seconds) and select the element whose CSS you want to edit.

Automatically arranging articles in alphabetical order
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.
Hello. I am planning to work on a navigation bar which would surf between articles within a certain category and I was wondering if I could automatize in a way that I do not have to set the previous and next articles for each individual pages. Example: Let's say I have the following articles: Apple, Peach, Plum, Orange and I want to add said navbar to these articles so that, if I am on the Apple article, I can easily go to Orange (since it's "previous") and Peach ("next"). Is it possible to somehow create a switch that compares the "Pagesinacat" (or anything appropriate - I am just theorizing here) magic word against the "pagename" magic word and then outputs either the previous page in alphabetical order and the next page also in alphabetical order? And, of course, as in my example with the Apple article, if I reached the last page in the category, then the "next" page would be the first page. And if it's the first page, then the "previous" page should be the last page.
It seems like something that is doable, but I had no luck in finding such a feature on this wiki and I am thinking I am just not looking into the right place. Thanks! 2001:16B8:2BC5:2E00:ECF2:81EA:E5DF:1080 (talk) 05:18, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

- Maybe you can write your own extension or skin including some PHP codes like:
- And then
function getNext( Title $title, Title $category ) { $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_REPLICA ); $next = $dbr->selectField( 'categorylinks', 'cl_from', [ 'cl_sortkey > ' . $dbr->addQuotes( $title->getDBkey() ), 'cl_to' => $category->getDBkey() ], __METHOD__, [ 'ORDER BY' => 'cl_sortkey', 'LIMIT' => 1 ] ); if ( $next ) return Title::newFromId( $next ); return Title::newFromId( $dbr->selectField( 'categorylinks', 'cl_from', [ 'cl_to' => $category->getDBkey() ], __METHOD__, [ 'ORDER BY' => 'cl_sortkey', 'LIMIT' => 1 ] ) ); }
echo getNext( Title::newFromText( 'Apple' ), Title::newFromText( 'Animal', NS_CATEGOY ) )->getText();prints "Peach".

- I think the closest existing solutions to what you need are Wikipedia's Navigation_templates. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 19:44, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- I managed to find a solution through the use of Extension:DynamicPageList3 and it works almost 100% the way I want it to, but it encounters a problem with articles that have two or more words in their title. Namely, it follows the alphabetical order of the second word and not the first. I've read up and I was able to fix the "next" dpl call through the use of ordermethod = title, but using the same parameter for "previous" always gives the first page in the category, no matter on which page I am...
- Also, I wasn't able to find a parameter that, once you reach the final page in the category, you're given the first page as the next and when you're on the first page, you're given the last page as the first. 2001:16B8:2B76:4000:4D90:4EE4:207F:15F3 (talk) 20:38, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

- Thank you, that solved my problem
- But now I have 3 others,
- 1) My infobox is the full size of the page.
- 2) In my infobox I have error message, "Error Lua in Module: Wikidata at line 118: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value)."
- 3) When I want to import an image, example for the flag France (Flag_of_France.svg), I have this error message, "The extension of the file" .svg "does not correspond to the detected MIME type of the file (image / png). " *
- And I have to put the image in .svg, it is for the templates of the flags and for that appear in the infobox
- Where do all these problems come from?
- Thank you MonsieurMixem (talk) 13:22, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- You might need to copy the .CSS rules related to Infoboxes from Wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css too.
- Not sure. Make sure you extension version is up-to-date and the templates/modules you are importing are also the latest ones. Maybe Extension talk:Scribunto/2013#h-attempt_to_index_field_'text'_(a_nil_value)_in_luasandbox-2013-04-11T17:43:00.000Z could help.
- I don't think I understand you correctly. From what I understand, the image file is actually in .png format and you are just changing the extension alphabets. First, why would you need to do that? Just use Commons:File:Flag_of_France.svg. Or you "can disable the MIME type check completely by setting
$wgVerifyMimeType = false;— note however that this is very insecure". AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 13:49, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- 1. Thanks, the infobox appears normally
- 2. I am under Mediawiki 1.31 and the version of Scribunto is the good one (The template that I use is Modèle:Infobox Footballeur (It comes from the wikipedia french))
- 3. To make it clearer, I use the infobox, Modèle:Infobox Footballeur (Taken from the French version), and in the infobox to display the French flag side to the club, we must put this {{FRA-d} } (We must remove the space between the two parentheses) , but the problem instead that the flag appears I "Flag: France" which appears in red, and when I click on "Flag: France", I have the page "Import a file" which is displayed, and it is written directly in "Description of the file", "Flag_of_France.svg" I hope this has been clearer, if not I will try to send you some screens MonsieurMixem (talk) 15:56, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- I think the wording would be "File:France", not "Flag:France". It means the template calls for a "File:France" on your Wiki, but when it is not present the Wiki gives you the option to upload it. The easy way for this would be to enable $wgUseInstantCommons in your Wiki, to automatically get images hosted on Wikimedia Commons. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 17:14, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your help, in terms of flags it's good, I used the technique

Login with office365
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 in the process of implementing an extension for login with Office365 user(Version 1.22.3).
I was able to redirect to office 365 login page and return back to wiki index page with a valid office365 user.
I want to auto log users to wiki if the user exits in the table 'user' and Create new users on first login attempt by checking the email.
User login to wiki is working fine with below code.
$user->setId($wiki_user_id);
$user->loadFromId();
$user->setCookies();
$user->setToken();
But the New user creation is not working during the login.
$user->addToDatabase() Does not create a record in the table 'user'.
But the value of auto increment column 'user_id' is increased by 1 in each login attempt.
Is there any configuration for enable user creation during the login? or any other way to force user creation programmatically and login? Cms.lakruwan (talk) 11:11, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

- There is a new user right for users who can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. Before this all admins could edit CSS and JavaScript. This was a security risk. This group is called interface administrators. Administrators can delete user CSS and JavaScript pages.

Good morning,
i have issues configuring visual editor in my mediawiki instance. i have installed parsoid successfully on port 8000 but when i add the lines to enable the visual editor on the LocalSettings.php i can't reach my wiki anymore with error 500. what am i doing wrong?
Thanks 213.215.150.116 (talk) 14:43, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Maybe there is some syntax errors in LocalSettings.php. Can I see your added lines? Lens0021 (talk) 14:51, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- taken from the official guide:
- wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );
- // Enable by default for everybody
- $wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1;
- // Optional: Set VisualEditor as the default for anonymous users
- // otherwise they will have to switch to VE
- // $wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-editor'] = "visualeditor";
- // Don't allow users to disable it
- $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';
- // OPTIONAL: Enable VisualEditor's experimental code features
- #$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable-experimental'] = 1;
- $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] = array(
- // URL to the Parsoid instance
- // Use port 8142 if you use the Debian package
- 'url' => 'http://localhost:8000',
- // Parsoid "domain", see below (optional)
- 'domain' => 'localhost',
- // Parsoid "prefix", see below (optional)
- 'prefix' => 'localhost'
- ); 213.215.150.116 (talk) 16:07, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- i leave the lines as default because i haven't a domain and i wanna use mediawiki for test purposes in my lan.
- Thank you 213.215.150.116 (talk) 16:09, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Is the following:
$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] = array( // URL to the Parsoid instance // Use port 8142 if you use the Debian package 'url' => 'http://localhost:8000', // Parsoid "domain", see below (optional) 'domain' => 'localhost', // Parsoid "prefix", see below (optional) 'prefix' => 'localhost' ); - actually a single line in your LocalSettings.php?
- Because if it is, it is commenting out the closing bracket and semicolon at the end, therefore causing the syntax error. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 18:51, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- i also tryed to copy one line at time but no changes i don't think it's a syntrax error at this point. 213.215.150.116 (talk) 06:40, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- If you have shell access to your server,
$ php maintenance/checkSyntax.phpwill check for syntax errors and print those. Lens0021 (talk) 09:58, 12 September 2018 (UTC)- Looks like checkSyntax.php was deleted in 1.31: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rMW0ca822a3201dc280e2b9176d10c61d75a16f844a Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:19, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- On the, if no syntax error front, make sure you are using the correct version of the extension for your MediaWiki core version.
- Add the following in your LocalSettings.php to get a more detailed error message:For more details, see Manual:How to debug. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:25, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true; $wgDevelopmentWarnings = true; error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1);
Pooled servers going offline randomly
We have a media wiki site that once updated to PHP version 7.1.21 were seeing the site being hosted go up and down randomly. We have 3 servers hosting the site and never more than 5 connections are on any given one at a time. Were seeing 500 errors in the event logs but that's all we have to go on. The PHP log was showing a message about an extension that was corrected but has not changed the issue. What settings might allow me to enabled more verbose PHP logging or has someone experienced this and may have a direction I can look. Thanks.

Error Lua in Module: Wikidata at line 118: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value)
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.
Hello, I have a pretty annoying problem.
I have an error message that appears in my infobox (Modele: Infobox_footballeur), "Error Lua in Module: Wikidata at line 118: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value)."
Here are the lines 108 to 119 of Module: Wikidata
function wd.getEntity (val)
if type (val) == 'table' then
return val
end
if val == '-' then
return nil
end
if val == then
val = nil
end
return mw.wikibase.getEntity (val)
end
And I also have this displayed at the bottom, after Categories "Pages with script errors | Infobox error / Image unknown or badly coded | Page using P570 | No local image but image on Wikidata"
I am under Mediawiki 1.31.0 and on the latest version of Scribunto
Here is a screen of my problem (The problems are circled in red)
http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2018/37/2/1536691043-problem.png
Sorry if it's written in French on the screen, being that I'm french and my wiki is french.
Where can my problem come from ?
Thank you MonsieurMixem (talk) 18:38, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hello,
- Nobody knows how to solve my problem?
- Here is what is displayed when I click on the error

- You'll probably have to:
- try using different (newer/older) versions of Extension:Scribunto and the template,
- or try to edit the template yourself,
- or use some other Infobox template which does not use Wikidata, or ask one of the authors of the template for help. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 11:27, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you,
- The creator of the model contacted me, to avoid this type of error it is necessary to put a dash in the place which must leave free.

Template image size on mobile viewing

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix this template such that the image formats okay on mobile and doesn't shrink too much. See the template here:
https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Case
You can see how the images look fine on desktop, but on mobile they are tiny:
https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/PLL
Can you let me know the best way to modify the template such that on mobile the images are larger and can be seen more easily?
Thanks. Pjkcar (talk) 09:08, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- Their
width="10%"property makes the image shrink on mobile, Since 10% of mobile device's screen width is different from desktop's screen width. - Have you considered using the CSS min-width property(W3school link) together? Lens0021 (talk) 10:21, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, thanks! As for the min-width, what's the best way to integrate that into the template if I want the min. image width to be 100px? Pjkcar (talk) 03:14, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

- To export into PDF documents, you will need Extension:Collection, for something similar to .docx, see Extension:OpenDocument Export.
- If page histories are to be included, I think the only format available is XML, see Help:Export. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 14:11, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
Prevent editing other users' user pages

Is there an extension for preventing users from editing other users' user pages (including subpages), except users have specific rights? PlavorSeol (talk) 14:26, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- Use the Extension:AbuseFilter. You can make any rule you want. For example,
article_namespace === 2 & !(article_text contains user_name) & !(user_groups contains "sysop")will detect user page edits made by the other users that is not sysop. Lens0021 (talk) 14:54, 12 September 2018 (UTC) - For a working example of the above rule, see Terraria.wikia:Special:AbuseFilter/1. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 15:43, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- But it allows users whose username is part of other users to edit those people's userpages. PlavorSeol (talk) 09:26, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

After Update to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS the editing panes revert to text based
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 just finished upgrading my server to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I had to make a couple of changes to the php configurations and re-enable the php to get the wiki to come up again and it looks great. The only issue that I have noticed now is that when I have to use the editing panes everything reverts to a basic text editing look and not the polished look that I used to have before the upgrade. The pages look fine until I try to edit. It is not a public wiki and I cannot post a screen shot or upload anything to show what I am seeing unfortunately
| Product | Version |
|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.30.0 |
| PHP | 7.2.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 (apache2handler) |
| MySQL | 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 |
| ICU | 60.2 |
Any Ideas what has caused this?
Thanks! Koldawne (talk) 16:22, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- To Add additional information - It looks like when you edit it goes back to the original 2003 editing page.
- I have confirmed that the Extension:WikiEditor IS present and installed in the correct /extensions directory but when I try to follow the instructions to include the line wfLoadExtension( 'WikiEditor' ); at the bottom of my LocalSettings.php file then reload I get the following when I try to access the wikiI can get rid of this if I include the below line in the LocalSettings.php as indicated by the README documentation
[bfa094c5bdcfe2705455ee63] 2018-09-12 17:30:51: Fatal exception of type "Error"
HOWEVER..then I can't load the wiki withrequire_once( "$IP/extensions/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php" );
I have also tried clearing my browser cache as indicated in the Extension:WikiEditor page. Koldawne (talk) 17:34, 12 September 2018 (UTC)HTTP ERROR 500
- OK, so ..I figured it out.
- I needed to add wfLoadExtension( 'WikiEditor' ); at the bottom of my LocalSettings.php file and then also install php7.2-xml because the older version of php that I had been using on my server no longer included the DOM extension.
- Maybe this will help someone else ;) Koldawne (talk) 18:17, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
After logging into a private wiki searching prompts another login page
Hi,
I'm currently having an issue on my private MediaWiki instance where after signing in the first time and successfully being brought to the main page, if you attempt to search or visit another page you're prompted with another login screen. I don't really know what could be causing this, so thank you for any replies in advance.
My current configuration consists of:
— MediaWiki 1.30.0
— Apache 2.4
— Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS 67.131.21.67 (talk) 18:37, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- So basically, every time you navigate to another page of your wiki, you got logged-out, right?
- Look at Manual:How to debug/Login problems Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:29, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- It's only after you log in. After the 2nd time, you stay logged in and the issue doesn't come back. 67.131.21.67 (talk) 20:05, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- Are you using any authentication plugin/extension on MediaWiki?
- Check also if the URL is consistent. For example, your browser is at www.example.org, you log-in, and then you're redirected to wiki.example.org (since it's a different domain, the login cookies are not valid). Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:28, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- No authentication plugins/extensions are being used. The URL remains consistent the whole time as far as I'm aware. I checked LocalSettings.php and didn't see any inconsistencies, where else could I check? 67.131.21.67 (talk) 19:17, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- Look at Manual:How to debug/Login problems
- Try to set a debug log as explained on Manual:How to debug, and see what happens on the request where you got logged-out. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 16:19, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

I have open wiki and everyone can register, but I see that registered users can create more user profiles. How to disable it, but to allow all guests to register Fokebox (talk) 06:33, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- What would be the point of disabling that? They can just log out to create more accounts instead. 110.148.133.71 (talk) 07:31, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- May be you are right Fokebox (talk) 08:04, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- I guess you'll need to revoke that permission:
$wgRevokePermissions['user']['createaccount'] = true;- This can, however, affect other groups as well, like sysops or bureaucrats, that also are part of the "user" group. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:17, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

- I use these versions:

| PHP | 7.2.9 (fpm-fcgi) |
| MariaDB | 10.0.36-MariaDB-0+deb8u1 |

- An easy fix, I think, would be to add the index ct_rc_id to the change_tag column and then re-run the config.
- Do you need help doing that? Do you have access to your DB via phpmyadmin or the command line? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 18:06, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Ho tentato di uploadare una foto scattata da me nella pagina di un modello d'auto, ma m'è comparso questo messaggio : "Questa azione è stata ritenuta pericolosa e quindi impedita in base a una verifica automatica. Se si ritiene che l'azione in questione sia costruttiva, contattare un amministratore e informarlo su ciò che si stava tentando di fare. Questa è una breve descrizione della regola di sicurezza che è stata violata: Cross-wiki upload filter". Come faccio per caricarla correttamente? Grazie.

Extension to add meta problem
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 be able to add meta data, like titles, to my wiki. I'm following procedure described here Extension:Add HTML Meta and Title
I downloaded archived extension files and unpacked them in the extension/AddHTMLMetaAndTitle
The next step should be adding to LocalSettings a line
require_once "$IP/extensions/AddHTMLMetaAndTitle/AddHTMLMetaAndTitle.php";
But...
In the folder there is no AddHTMLMetaAndTitle.php file! If I add this line anyway, the whole wiki stops working.
Please, explain what should I do?
Thank you 142.157.25.184 (talk) 16:37, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- The wiki is 1.31 142.157.25.184 (talk) 16:38, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Did you unpack the extension files in "extension/AddHTMLMetaAndTitle" or in "extensions/AddHTMLMetaAndTitle"?
- Also try enabling the extension with the following in your LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtension( 'AddHTMLMetaAndTitle' );AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 17:02, 15 September 2018 (UTC)- Thanks, you way worked! 142.157.25.184 (talk) 18:31, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

No text appears in articles after migration
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 migrated a mediawiki from one server provider to another. All files have been copied, the MySQL-database was exported from the old site and imported to the new server, and the username, server-address and password were updated in the LocalSettings.php-file. However, no text appears on any of the pages. Only the menu and article headlines appears: http://transla.dk/biografi/index.php?title=Forside
- What is wrong, and what do I have to do to get the article text to appear. When you approach the "source", you can see there is text. But it is not visible in the main view: http://transla.dk/biografi/index.php?title=Forside&action=edit

- Upgrading MediaWiki really is the solution here.
- I see you are already doing this - your page currently shows
- "MediaWiki 1.31 internal error - Installing some external dependencies (e.g. via composer) is required."
- Make sure that you downloaded the right package from releases.wikimedia.org (which then includes the dependencies). For MediaWiki 1.31 this is https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.0.tar.gz. 2001:16B8:10E8:1100:2C14:4166:3E9F:D7A9 (talk) 22:15, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Replacing in mass
{{Template|$1.jpg|c|$2}}.Hello all! I was wondering if I could get some help with a little issue. I am trying to replace specific images that have the following format:
[[File:Nameofcharacter_Character.jpg|30x30px]]
to
{{template|Nameofcharacter.jpg|c|30}}
(where Nameofcharacter is placeholder, of course)
Now the problem I am encountering is that, for the life of me, can't seem to configure AWB in a way that it can mass replace these images with different px sizes among them. I have read up on the regex help page on Wikipedia, but nothing. I must mention that all image are in .jpg format and all have "character" at the end of their name, so it seems like the solution is so close, yet so far...

- I am sadly not really a regexp guru, but the Extension:ReplaceText should be able to do what you want: You can grab signs from the original text and reuse them in your replacement text. With the right regular expression you should be able to get both parts: The name, which starts after the colon and ends in front of the underscore and the number, which starts after the pipe and ends in front of the x sign. 2001:16B8:10E8:1100:4DBC:2195:1925:B9ED (talk) 16:17, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for the answer, but I am still faced with the same problem because I don't know what kind of regex to use. Also, that extension says that I must have compressRevisions disabled, but it is enabled and I am not sure if disabling it now would have it work. Still, I still don't know what kind of regex to use, so as not to replace what should not be replaced. 2001:16B8:2BA2:200:E183:846B:FBE6:E53B (talk) 16:48, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
- Coincidence has it that I received a solution to my answer (as I had also posted my issue in another part of the internet). For anyone interested, this should be the replacement text:
{{Template|$1.jpg|c|$2}}. Anyone with the right permissions can mark this thread as solved.

- Sorry for the spam, but I forgot to mention in the topic (Replacing in mass) that was just closed (and I have insufficient permissions to open it) that, in the search field, you have to add
\[\[File:(.*) Character\.jpg\|(\d{2,3})px\]\]in order for the script to match the images in my initial post. Also, I've made a typo in the string for the replace text field. It's actually{{Template|$1|c|$2}}(the .jpg needs to be dropped). Someone with the appropriate rights please merge this answer to the closed topic.

MediaWiki 1.31 not recognizing PHP7 after PHP update.
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.
My web server had previously been on PHP 5.6 while using MW 1.30. I learned that MW 1.31 would require PHP 7, and it turns out my web hosting service does have that option.
I went ahead and installed MW 1.31 and proceeded to update PHP to version 7. I tried all three settings, waiting ten minutes each before testing if MW 1.31 would recognize it. Regular PHP7, single-ini version, and Fast versions all came back with the response that "I am using PHP5.6.37" still. I don't know whether MW is failing to recognize the new PHP 7 status, if I have to wait longer before it will be propagated, or if PHP didn't update after all.
I'm at a loss, and would appreciate guidance. Note: The web hosting is given via Hostmonster, and is not my own personal server setup. DrewUniverse (talk) 05:10, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Does Hostmonster install both PHP versions in parallel on your system? If so you need to configure your system to make version 7 the default on your system, I'd guess. Malyacko (talk) 08:03, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @Malyacko, thanks for the reply!!! I forwarded your suggestion to Hostmonster. I am still unsure what the issue was, but a tech support agent did something internally that corrected the detection issue. PHP 7 is now detected by MediaWiki and the install is proceeding (so far). I guess we can close this thread! Thank the universe. DrewUniverse (talk) 17:52, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Installing MediaWiki under subdirectory NginX
I have problem installing mediawiki under subdirectory. I am using nginx 1.14 and php7.2 on ubuntu server 18.04.1 lts. I tried rewrite method, no luck. I am trying to use MediaWiki 1.31.0
I searched the web for few days, and still hasn't come up with good solution. I really want to avoid proxy (personal preference). What should I do? Is there really no solution for this? Kyj4599 (talk) 10:44, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Formatting problem
There's formatting problem in MW 1.31.0 when <code> tag used. If you start a line inside tag with space, then additional lines appear before and after "code" block.
How to reproduce:
//additional line will appear here by her own
<code>
testline_started_with_space
testline2_started_with_space
</code>
//additional line will appear here by her own Riddimshocker (talk) 12:22, 18 September 2018 (UTC) Don't the two extra lines show up without the spaces too?
Additionally, unless the default CSS rules change, I think <code></code> tags are meant to be used for inline elements, rather than multiline? <pre> or <syntaxhighlight> tags for code blocks. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:24, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Equivalence to HitCounters extension
I have a small mediawiki site, installed on a Debian Jessie server
MediaWiki 1.27.4
PHP 5.6.33-0+deb8u1 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.5.59-0+deb8u1
ICU 52.1
As HitCounters extension do not work with recently installed Mediawiki version, I am searching a replacement for it.
My need is totally basic, a approximate view counter on each page, no more.
I am not interested in giving any information to google, nor installing piwik/matomo which is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut

test for understanding the article
- It is necessary to add a section related to the article that would contain tests to check whether the reader remembered the autumn facts presented in the article. Each test consists of a set (for example 10) questions. For each question, several answers are given in advance, while one of them is right. Such a test could be created by anyone 37.221.200.35 (talk) 12:45, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Issues installing MediaWiki 1.30.0
Greetings, Im attempting to install MediaWiki 1.30.0 on a Godaddy Linuz server using php version 5.6. This is my first time installing MediaWiki. I followed the install/config directions exactly, but when going to my site I get the error messages listed below. Could anyone advise? Thank you.

MediaWiki 1.27 Exception encountered, of type "Error"
Two weeks ago I installed and configured MediaWIki 1.27 using MS SQL as the backend db. I'm running on Windows 2012 Server using MAMP Pro as the Apache/PHP handler.
I've had issue from the start, small things mainly. The search returns no results at all, some of the Special Pages return DB Errors, etc.
For the last week I've had users putting content into the Wiki, we were up to nearly 25 articles fully written and formatted. Within the last hour, something happened that caused my Wiki to start giving the above Error Message no matter what I do.
I'm not completely sure how to even go about troubleshooting. I've removed all Extensions from my LocalSettings.php that I added after the installation. I've turned on:
error_reporting( -1 );
ini_set( 'display_startup_errors', 1 );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
and
$wgShowSQLErrors = true;
within my LocalSettings.php to try to come up with a solution, but they add nothing to the page. I'm still presented with Exception encountered, of type "Error" anytime I try to access my wiki.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody,
I need to display how my wiki is growing in numbers for like pages, users and also what pages are the top pages and so on.
If I remember correctly I once saw an animation where you saw a graphic like created with graphviz just animated over time that new pages came across as well as new users and so on. The interconnection between the pages where displayed as well.
Does anyone has a clue how to do that?

Internal error after upgrading to 1.31
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 All!
I've upgraded my wiki from 1.25 to the latest version 1.31. The upgrade was successful as stated by the upgrade script but now I am getting error even when trying to visit the main page. The error is without any supporting info, just like
Internal error
[733a7abdae665b843d48b224] 2018-09-20 11:29:43: Fatal exception of type "Error"
Interestingly , special pages work fine, for example Version page shows all infos as expected.
PHP is working fine (version 7.0., I can successfully run phpinfo() function), no errors in php and apache logs. I've already turned off most of the extensions -- no changes.
I do not even know how to start debugging in this situation. How to solve the problem? Thank you. Rarruga (talk) 11:41, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Add the following in your LocalSettings.php file, to get a more detailed description of the error:For more details, see Manual:How to debug.
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true; $wgDevelopmentWarnings = true; error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1);
- Special Pages work fine probably because whatever application element (like an extension) is causing the error, does not get loaded on those pages. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 11:50, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! This helped a lot, the problem was indeed in extensions. I've not solved all of them yet, but at least I can see where the problems are. Rarruga (talk) 12:49, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Require NTLM/Form based authentication setup for MediaWiki 1.30.0
HI,
Please find below are the software/product we are having with in Redhat Linux 7 cluster server.
| Product | Version |
|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.30.0 |
| PHP | 7.1.8 (apache2handler) |
| MySQL | 5.6.40 |
| ICU | 50.1.2 |
Currently, We are having Kerberos/LDAP Setup with in our WIKI server(RHEL7) to achieve SSO (Single Sign On)
Now we do require our WIKI to be accessed over the Internet.
For that, we are having issues in authentication from AD server to our WIKI server (RHEL7) and we got error 401"Authorization Required" while accessing WIKI over internet
Now infrastructure team wonders, if WIKI can be setup with either NTLM or, Form based authentication setup?
Please let us know if WIKI supports for either of NTLM/ Form based authentication setup?
We look forward your help will greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in Adv ! Sanjay (talk) 12:04, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- You can use Extension:Auth remoteuser to have an implicit login if you have
mod_auth_kerb(or something similar) set up on your server. - If you want to have certain IP ranges not to be logged in implicitly, but by using a local wiki account you can configure this within the Apache configuration (Deny/Allow rules or by using a different vHost)
- If you don't want to manage the accounts in the wiki locally, but have a FBA against LDAP/AD you can have a look at LDAPAuthentication (which also requires Extension:PluggableAuth and LDAPProvider Osnard (talk) 14:18, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your prompt comments !
- Since we are AD users then, we are using Extension: LDAPAuthentication with Kerberos setup using
mod_auth_kerband SSO is working fine with in our network. - Now, we need to avail the WIKI in the internet and as per our infrastructure AD team, we need to approach NTLM / form based/ basic authentication.
- Hence, I want to know if MediaWiki 1.30.0 supports for all these methodologies to establish SSO? Sanjay (talk) 15:01, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- I am not aware of an HTTP Base Auth extension. Yet it should be doable. The AuthManager component for MediaWiki is quite powerful.
- I assume you are using Extension:LDAP Authentication by Ryan Lane, not LDAPAuthentication (by MWStack). As far as I know with this extension a log in with a local user account (one that only exists in the Wiki database) is not possible. But FBA against the LDAP/AD backend is possible. An external user would need to have credentiáls in your LDAP/AD. In stead of being logged in implicitly, he would need to use standard Special:Login page.
- You will have to add an exception in your
mod_auth_kerbconfiguration, so external users can access the wiki. Also a little configuration switch inLocalSettings.phpmight be required. SoAutoAuthSetupis not being called for external users. Osnard (talk) 06:09, 21 September 2018 (UTC)- Yes you are correct ! We are using Extension:LDAP Authentication by Ryan Lane.
- Actually if we enable SSO we wouldn't get the Login/Logout Option visible in the statusbar WIKI.
- But, If SSO is disabled in Sever level then we can able to see the manual Login page which is having option to choose for the DOMAIN.
- If we do select the Domain=Local then we can able to login the WIKI Locally i.e. we can login WIKI with out interacting LDAP/AD server.
- Else if we choose for Domain=Corporate then the user credentials will be authenticated by LDAP/AD server. Sanjay (talk) 12:16, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- Please be aware that NTLM is a less secure protocol than Kerberos. "Forms Based" is simply a way of entering a username/password. It sounds as though your infrastructure team are suggesting something like MS TMG's proxy which is awful, old and no longer supported by MS.
- If your clients are all AD users and their PCs are all domain joined then Kerberos can work - even across the internet. See Intranet (I wrote it) Have a look at this: Intranet/Intranet Reference Build Ubuntu, specifically the Apache config. The require sections can be pretty sophisticated. Gerdesj (talk) 01:33, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the Information!
- With our current requirement (to avail the WIKI over the internet),we are interacting with Loadbalancer server exist with in the corporate network.
- AS per our infrastructure team LB server does not support for Kerberos authentication approach anymore.
- Hence, they suggested to implement "Forms Based/Basic" authentication & authorization for WIKI to enable with SSO feature.
- also I want to confirm that all our clients are AD user accessing WIKI over various platforms like Windows/Linux.
- So, I would like establish multi authentication setup for internal and external traffic (i.e. Forms Based/Basic auth would parallelly work with Kerberos auth). Hence "Forms Based/Basic" authentication & authorization for external users(internet based users) & Kerberos would work for internal users.

Hey guys, thank you so much for all the awesomeness in the Let's Farm Wiki. Could not do without you guys. I also tried to contribute with translations, but the site did not let [us] input the pages I had worked on.
So, is this really true you are shutting it down? I thought it was a free domain (non-profit) and that volunteers were keeping the updates.
Let me know how I/we (Let's Farm game community) can/could help to keep this site alive.

- The wfProfileIn() function has been removed in MediaWiki 1.31.0.
- Please be sure you downloaded the BlueSpice extension bundle corresponding to MediaWiki 1.31. Otherwise, BlueSpice may still not be compatible with MediaWiki 1.31 and you may need to keep your wiki to MediaWiki 1.30 at most until this is resolved by BlueSpice. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:25, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- is there a way to downgrad from 1.31 to 1.27 ? 86.111.34.9 (talk) 11:01, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- You can use an older MediaWiki core with your installation, but beware:
- This is not supported. There is no supported downgrade path.
- Doing a downgrade might break future upgrades. With other words: If you do a downgrade, you might be screwed.
- For BlueSpice, you might try a newer version of the BlueSpice extension.
- I looked it up in the BlueSpice repository and the wfProfileIn -Out calls were removed here: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-BlueSpiceFoundation/commit/f31d1e3c176edf11a2488b14d3985bc3fbd8063a#diff-332f8b76b86bf46260d82c8e9b77fc22
- This fix is included in version 3.0.0-beta2 and 3.0.0-beta - as well as in the master branch.

Can't load .php files in root directory
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.
Hello,
Recently I enabled short URLs, but then the website only displayed texts without CSS loaded.
I read the Manual:Errors_and_symptoms#The_wiki_appears_without_styles_applied_and_images_are_missing, and found that all .php files(including load.php and index.php) would display a blank page.
Unfortunately the codes in "#You see a Blank Page" in order to display error logs also didn't work.
If I revert the settings to "index.php?title=" version, it can work well as before.
What can I do to enable it? Thanks! Brror (talk) 09:46, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- Are you using Apache or nginx?
- In any case, I think the problem is in the server configuration, which you added to make short URLs working. It would help, if you post, which tutorial you followed and/or, which server configuration you added.
- I guess that you still have to add an exception for .php files, so that the server does not redirect from them but instead leaves them alone. 2001:16B8:1055:6C00:80C6:9E5F:AA36:E475 (talk) 14:22, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- It has been solved, thanks for your suggestion!
- I just followed MediaWiki ShortURL Builder tool for nginx before, which caused this issue, but I tried separating "location /\.php" from "location /" in nginx.conf just now, and now it works well. Brror (talk) 00:58, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

- Bare Minimum:
- FileName | Categories Tagged 193.37.253.116 (talk) 02:25, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

- If you deleted and purged the data files of the MySQL server, I’m afraid it is lost, except if you find some backup.
- Given the error, I guess you upgraded the wiki recently, and either you are on a very old server either you have a very customised configuration parameter $wgServers. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 16:01, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

- How re-installed you the database?
- What are the following configuration parameters in LocalSettings.php:
- $wgDBtype,
- $wgDBserver,
- $wgDBservers ?
- What are the version of your MySQL server and PHP ? ~ Seb35 [^_^] 16:44, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- I don‘t have mysql data in my system. But i have all the files of mediawiki that i have installed in /var/www/html/mediawiki.

- This sounds like MySQL is not installed properly. At least I guess that the system currently cannot use it.
- Apart from that: If you do not have a backup of the database, then I don't see a way of how to restore the wiki.
- Maybe you can create a dump of the database from inside the old MySQL server. You could then restore this dump into the new server. 2001:16B8:10D9:9A00:ADE0:7A87:F23F:D332 (talk) 17:17, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

lowercase username

how can I have mediawiki display a lowercase username as a lowercase username without capitalizing the first letter?
who implemented this "I know you wrote the username all lowercase, but of course you wanted the first letter to be capitalized"? and could you please remove that since whoever did that omitted to provide a button that says "I know what I am doing"? thank you, much appreciated.

Remove sensitive pages permanently
I have a wiki I've been building on localhost (in Windows 10). The wiki has both private (personal financial info) and public (regular wiki articles on all kinds of topics) pages, categories, etc.
Now I want to split the wiki into a private one that I will keep on my computer (to help manage household finances and bookkeeping duties) AND then publish the public pages to the web as a separate wiki.
I've considered several options, but none of them seem very good.
First, I thought about duplicating my local wiki folder, then migrating the second half to local, and deleting pages through the normal MediaWiki deletions process. But, I read that the pages aren't actually deleted, which won't work for me because I don't want my private credit card and other financial details online for some smart hacker to take a crack at, even if it is supposedly "secure".
I looked up options on how to permanently delete pages, but all I found was conversations where people were inquiring how, but with no solution.
Finally, I thought maybe there is a way to install MediaWiki fresh and import the pages from local that I want to be public on the web. The challenge there is what if I miss something? When I try to import my pages, will that handle all dependencies automatically as well? It took me forever to import all the wiki templates and subtemplates to configure a musical artist infobox to look like on WikiPedia. I don't want to have to suffer through that kind of start and stop again if I don't have to.
So, what is the OPTIMAL way to split a wiki in two, remove parts from the copy, and post the copy with all the removed parts PERMANENTLY REMOVED?
Any help is appreciated. Ehtech2000 (talk) 17:02, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- MediaWiki has a few maintenance scripts, which can do that.
- Some scripts can work on a batch of pages, e.g. deleteBatch.php, but this one only does a normal deletion. Data will still be inside the database afterwards.
- E.g. nukePage.php will permanently delete a page and all revision texts associated to it. You can e.g. create a list of the pages to be removed and then use Notepad++ to easily turn this list into a nukePage.php call for each one of them. 2001:16B8:10D9:9A00:ADE0:7A87:F23F:D332 (talk) 17:13, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

EDGE Browser comes up with manipulated 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.
Hello altogether! In our small wiki, we have pages like this: https://www.perrypedia.proc.org/wiki/Portal_%22Intrawelt%22_(Zyklus)
In Firefox, opera, Chrome the page title shows: Portal "Intrawelt" (Zyklus)
Likewise does the EDGE browser, if I am _not_ logged in. With EDGE & being logged in, suddenly the title appears as: Portal "Intrawelt" #Zyklus#
Huh? When analyzing the source code, I can see the server sends (Zyklus) and I don't have any clue where and how the parenthesis are changed to hashes.
Server: Ubuntu 14.04.5, Apache 2.4.7, MySQL 5.5.61, Mediawiki 1.27.4 including several extensions Client: Windows 10, Microsoft Edge 42.17134.1.0
Does anyone have any ideas how and why this can happen? Sincerely, A. AnonymusGdpr (talk) 18:06, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- A random idea: try deactivating JavaScript in Edge to check if it is a JavaScript issue. (I don’t have Edge myself, I cannot test.) ~ Seb35 [^_^] 08:26, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- Good idea. Sadly, it's not possible to turn off javascript in Edge.
- (I guess Edge is rarely used, but one of our members does.) AnonymusGdpr (talk) 15:18, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- I checked the Common.js but it seems there is no such change.
- Perhaps check on other pages with parentheses like [3] or [4].
- Also check with the skin MonoBook these three pages [5] [6] [7]. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 12:03, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Seb35! Now I have tried other pages and MonoBook. It is amazing, or annoying, or both: This one seems to be the _only_ page where the parenthesis replacement happens, and it does so in MonoBook either. Haven't tried other skins. Instead I tried moving the page and creating a new one. As soon as the page name changes, <Portal "Intrawelt" (Zyklus) x> -> the title is displayed correctly; created a new page <Portal "Intrawelt" (Zyklus)> -> hashes again. Also moving around the page (to dismiss probably wrong characters within the page title) did not work.
- Finally I found a workaround. I inserted
- DISPLAYTITLE:Portal "Intrawelt" (Zyklus)
- and then it works, whatever browser, whatever skin. That's really odd. However, as long as this one is the only page I'll accept the deal.
- Thank you for your effort, didn't want to steal your time! AnonymusGdpr (talk) 07:20, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
- That’s curious. And it’s great you found a workaround! ~ Seb35 [^_^] 12:58, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Unable to view images in wiki
Hi
I have installed MediaWiki on my website, and I can upload image files to it using FTP. The files are stored in sub-folders of the /images directory, and look to be fine, the meta-data is readable and correct.
But MediaWiki is unable to render the image, and if you try to open it you get an internal server error. The behaviour can be observed at:
http://www.lambdapi.co.uk/morganatica/Special:ListFiles
and
https://www.lambdapi.co.uk/morganatica/File:Chassis.jpg
The lack of a thumbnail doesn't worry me as I haven't yet enabled ImageMagick, but surely the original image file should be accessible?
Many thanks Morganatica (talk) 11:47, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

- You cannot use ftp to upload images like this. MediaWiki will have none of the metadata for the images and it won't work.
- If you want to upload images directly and have shell (SSH) access, you can use the importImages.php script to do so. Otherwise you must upload images using Special:Upload or the MW api. Bawolff (talk) 22:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

- The edit page of MediaWiki sends a unicode test-string to and compares it with an internal constant. So either the HTTP request actually contains a wrong string or the serverside has an issue.
- Is is possible that your network traffic is being modified? By a proxy maybe? 2001:16B8:1055:9B00:7179:8097:6C70:A0AD (talk) 21:28, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

- > Could it be locale settings?
- No, I don't think locale settings could do this.
- Perhaps if pages are being served with the wrong content-type headers. Check your php error log for "Headers already sent" error messages. Check to make sure pages really are being served with

- That certainly suggests you have a proxy between you and MW, as some of those headers are not generated by MediaWiki (Like X-Random). Bawolff (talk) 22:45, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
- These are custom headers generated by the webserver. The webserver is hiawatha. Even if i disable all the custom headers, i still get cant save pages.
- Is Content-Type header ok? I dont see any errors in php-fpm error log. 2001:7B8:204:7:DFED:8D34:7942:EF9A (talk) 09:21, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, content-type header is fine. Maybe the webserver is somehow mangling unicode. Bawolff (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

- Poking back here, @Hoto Cocoa, did you successfully fix the issue? Or you got stuck somewhere? :) X-Savitar (talk) 14:30, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
- No changes. Hoto Cocoa (talk) 09:36, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for reporting this @Hoto Cocoa, could you report this issue here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/1424/ by filing a phabricator task? Also, I think you should install dependencies (for the first time) by running `composer install` instead. Let me know if this helps. X-Savitar (talk) 12:05, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- What Alangi Derick says. To use Extension:Mailgun, you must run composer for the MailGun extension. phab:T206415 was created, and has accordingly been declined. —Mainframe98 talk 09:38, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
Image thumbnail protruding past the next section
Is there any way to prevent that without adding more text? Like, making the next section start after the image thumb? 76.121.250.32 (talk) 23:48, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- "<br clear=all>" should work.

"Some or all of the undeletion failed:"
A vandal recently deleted a few pages, and when I go back to restore the deletion log, I get:
Some or all of the undeletion failed:
Invalid or missing revision.
You may have a bad link, or the revision may have been restored or removed from the archive.

I ran php populateRevisionSha1.php I saw from another thread with no luck solving the issue. What's the best way to troubleshoot?
Thanks. Pjkcar (talk) 14:53, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Which exact MediaWiki version is this about? Malyacko (talk) 08:33, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- The latest version, 1.31 Pjkcar (talk) 01:27, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- Did you run populateRevisionSha1.php with the --force option?
- Also, the error message should be more complete. Try setting $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:21, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I ran populateRevisionSha1.php with the --force option and without, still get the same error.
- When I set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; I still just get the same error:
- Some or all of the undeletion failed:
- Invalid or missing revision.
- You may have a bad link, or the revision may have been restored or removed from the archive.
- ----
- Any other suggestions to try? Would findAnomalies.php be useful? Thanks. Pjkcar (talk) 03:29, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- This may be a bug, but highly depends on your configuration.
- I wonder how a vandal could "delete" pages. Is that vandal a sysop, or do you give anyone permissions to perform deletions?
- I assume you first got to the undeletion page, where it lists one or more revisions of the page to undelete, and then after selecting some of them, or none (which would undelete all), you get the error message, right?
- Deleted revisions are stored in the archive table, you can look at that table to see if they're still there. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:32, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- When I go to the deleted page and click on History, and then click on "View or restore 6 deleted edits?", it shows all the edits below next to the usernames. But when I try to restore either all or selecting any individual one, I get "Some or all of the undeletion failed:".
- Regarding how they deleted it, good question. I'm unsure how they were able to delete it and cause these issues. Some of the pages they deleted I was able to restore without any issues using the process above, but 3-4 pages give me this error for some reason. Is it possible to prevent users from being able to delete pages but still allow them to edit? This would help for the future to prevent this issue, which is my bigger concern right now. Pjkcar (talk) 04:29, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- The delete right is not available to all users, as you can see in Manual:User rights. Either you added that right to all users, or the vandal was granted the sysop user group.
- On the undeletion page, there's also an option to see the deleted revisions without restoring them. Are you able to see the deleted revision text from there, or does it cause an error too? Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:27, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, I see on Special:ListGroupRights it shows emailconfirmed can delete pages. I've set $wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['delete'] to false now.
- Yes, I can see the deleted revisions without restoring. When I copy the content of the latest revision and go to the page, click Edit, and paste the content, I get:
- "Someone else has changed this page since you started editing it. The upper text area contains the page text as it currently exists. Your changes are shown in the lower text area. You will have to merge your changes into the existing text. Only the text in the upper text area will be saved when you press "Save changes"."
- The upper text area is blank then and the lower area has my revisions, but I can't save it. If I paste the revision into the blank upper text area and push save, it shows the same error "someone else...". How can I paste the revision onto the deleted page without merging? Thanks. Pjkcar (talk) 09:22, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
- Also, if someone spams, this means and admin has to delete the pages, and not the community. Is there a way around this? Thanks. Pjkcar (talk) 09:27, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
- Looks like there may be some inconsistency on the database for the page you're trying to undelete, causing it to not be able to undelete or even recreate it. It's hard to tell how to solve this without viewing the actual tables. Maybe you can try to recreate that page with another name, and then rename it to the correct name, although I suspect this may also fail too. The problem you're having may be that there's a row in the page table without revisions in the Revision table for that page. If that's the case, deleting that row may solve this problem. To be safe, you can simply update the page_title column to some random text.
- About the spam problems, you should give delete rights only to trusted contributors. Everyone could get emailconfirmed and delete all pages of the wiki. You can create a new user group with the delete right and promote users to that group manually. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:20, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
