Beginner looking for very short 'nexs' format

Dear,

I'm feature testing and learning MediaWiki : amazing and convincing!

https://connaissances1450.miraheze.org - v1.34.1

I had a look to blog special page, and Extension:News, (*)

but still: what are the easiest step to figure out an easy writer interface for contributing very short news, like events, or readings reference?

All of these to come aggregated on a page, and on the home page, on configurable list (categories selection).

My question is more on the first component : a ready interface where the user understands the format is short (100 words), and categorizing is encouraged /helped.

Are there other ready-made extensions for that?

Thanks on forward

Pierre-Yves Delens

Hi

I just updated my Mediawiki from 1.29 to 1.34 and at the same time I updatede the php from 7.1.33 to 7.4.4

But when I open my wiki I get the message:

MediaWiki 1.34 internal error

MediaWiki 1.34 requires at least PHP version 7.2.9, you are using PHP 7.1.33-14+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1"

But when I write "php -version" i get

PHP 7.4.4 (cli) (built: Mar 20 2020 13:47:45) ( NTS )

Copyright (c) The PHP Group

Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

   with Zend OPcache v7.4.4, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

II can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

How do I fix it?

Best regard

Kenneth

Ubuntu server 18.04 178.157.254.233 (talk) 18:50, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

You installed several PHP versions in parallel. "7.1.33" seems to be coming from some custom PPA at https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/. According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/php-cli you should have php 7.2, so I have no idea either where you got "7.4.4" from. This sounds like a question for an Ubuntu support forum instead. Malyacko (talk) 22:06, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

7.3.11 is the newest Nsturtz2 (talk) 00:58, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Where? How? Plus 7.3.11 is not 7.1.33. Malyacko (talk) 11:29, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Oh sorry that is my bad, I have the outdated version on my server. Thank you for pointing that out to me. Nsturtz2 (talk) 15:10, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi

You were right. I had installed PHP versions in parallel and also the wrong version.

I had added the repository ppa:ondrej/php and because I did not specified the php version I automatically got the newest (7.4.4)

After removing the wrong PHP version I installed 7.3 and now it's working again

Hope you all have a nice weekend

See Extension talk:TemplateStyles/2018#h-How_to_do-2018-09-16T19:44:00.000Z? Malyacko (talk) 11:28, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Why does mediawiki interpret hash signs inside <code> tags?

Is this intended behaviour? I would like to insert some python code which contains comments and thus hash signs. What do I have to do to make this work?

Why would Mediawiki interpret things inside code tags anyway? This doesn't make sense. 80.153.181.30 (talk) 15:29, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Is your code multiline? I think <code></code> tags are meant only for inline inclusion.

For multiline, better use <pre></pre> or <syntaxhighlight></syntaxhighlight> tags. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 17:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

its intentional that formatting works inside code (whether its a good idea is debatable but way too late to change it)

As Ahmad said, no formatting happens in pre or syntaxhighlight. Additionally you can use <nowiki> with code Bawolff (talk) 00:45, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Ahmad, preformatted text tags work. 80.153.181.30 (talk) 06:57, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

template show or hide

How can I put this button pattern inside another pattern, so that if I wanted to show the pattern and if I didn't want to show it?

https://wikicod.ir/tryit/?file=//&type=client Sokote zaman (talk) 17:06, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't understand what you're asking. Could you clarify what you want? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 23:33, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, thank you

More explanation:

I want to have buttons on some pages and not buttons on some pages.

How do I show or not show a button in a template consisting of several patterns?

Thanks Sokote zaman (talk) 23:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

When do you want the button to show up? If it is something on the page, I think you could do this with some JS in your Common.js. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 00:02, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your response

I want some pages to be just syntax and some pages to be syntax with buttons. Sokote zaman (talk) 02:14, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

How can I fix this problem? Sokote zaman (talk) 17:43, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

"Some pages to be just syntax" -- could you point to an example on your wiki where you want this to happen? I still don't understand your question. It looks like you know how to make buttons (you made a couple here), why can't you do that on your wiki? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 21:37, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, an example was created on Wiki

https://wikicod.ir/wiki/Test

Note that the first example is with the button

And

The second example is without a button

The above examples are shown with two patterns.

My question is how can I show both of the above examples by creating a template

Thanks Sokote zaman (talk) 06:04, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

If you want to include or exclude the button on a per-page basis, maybe you can try employing the ##if parser function used on Magic words#Page names in your template.

Something like: For two pages Page_A, Page_A_with-button

If {{PAGENAME}} includes the word button (can be checked using ##explode:), then allow button to be displayed otherwise not.

In case these patterns are to be included in the same page, simple if conditional statements should work. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 12:08, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your guidance

It would be great if you could give an example

thank you Sokote zaman (talk) 13:26, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Do you want the button inclusion/exclusion on a per-page basis or is it that there would be some elements with button and others without the button on the same page? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 13:31, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

is it that there would be some elements with button and others without the button on the same page Sokote zaman (talk) 14:21, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBReadOnlyError after VM crash

I run a wiki on an Apache webserver with Mysql in a Linux-VM . This VM crashed yesterday without reason and now this is happening:

*Apache is running

*MySQL opens 200+ threads with Mysqld --daemonize myslq.pid

**It tells me, that there are 14 open files

**mysqladmin says, that 140+ localhost/wiki process are sleeping (this number is constantly growing, which causes a "to many connection" error after a while)

*My VM is reaching its RAM and CPU limitation due to MySQL and freezes

*If I try to connect to my wiki via internet it either gives me a connection time out or "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBReadOnlyError" (but the wiki wasn't in read only mode when the vm crashed)

Since I installed MediaWiki two years ago I kept it up-to-date, made two successful upgrades to the recent versions and never changed the apache/mysql default settings (with exclusion of user/password) and it all worked fine. Until yesterday.

Further testing/logging within the wiki isn't possible due to the nature of the problem. I can't provide any log files. 80.128.145.126 (talk) 11:33, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

I have to correct myself: After many reloads I finally got an error log.

And again: I have no idea why it says "Read-only". I checked the LocalSettings and it's not read only.

Do you have a database backup? If you do, you should drop the database and restore from the backup.

If you don't, then your best bet is to try to use rebuild or repair the DB. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 21:34, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

yeah, this sounds like a mysql error not a mediawiki error Bawolff (talk) 07:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

The database checked ok. I narrowed down the error to PHP, because in some brief moments I somehow get the Mainpage with my content; but most of the time I get a blank page.

Maybe one of the MediaWiki-php's got fried in the crash event? 87.157.184.253 (talk) 12:28, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

thats just an error in displaying the page that reports the db is broken.

This is definitely primarily your database being broken plus an additional issue with the code that turns that into a friendly error message being also broken. However the primary issue is that your database is broken Bawolff (talk) 18:54, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

After much tinkering and reconsidering, I'm going to rebuild the Database via the last backup I luckely took half a day before the crash. But if there's a bigger problem within the database, this only will create an endless loop of getting the wiki back online and losing it half a day later. 87.157.184.253 (talk) 20:07, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Welp, it kind of worked. Now it takes a considerable time (about 10 odd mins) to connect to my mainpage. And I get aborted connection errors from php/apache in the mysql log. 80.128.151.130 (talk) 12:13, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi !

I'm not used to "coding" so I installed MediaWiki on my Ionos hosted server thanks to their build-in tool.

MediaWiki a been instaled correctly and i can browse through the pages but with no skin.

I get this error :

"Refused to apply style from '[URL]' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled."

After some reaserches I found that it can be due to short URL and that a need to create a symbolic link from /var/www pointing to /var/lib/mediawiki/[my $wgScriptPath value]. But I don't have a var folder in my wiki directory on the server. So what am I supposed to do ? It seems that my problem is linked to the fact I'm hosted by Ionos ? Have anyone already used MediaWiki with Ionos ?

Thanks for your help 7heo T (talk) 18:34, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

This ("Refused to apply style...") sounds like a server configuration problem.

I've set up an Ionos site just to test this since it looks like I can do that without incurring any cost. I'll come back and update this when I've tried it. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 22:14, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

it can be caused by a bunch of things. Can you open the css file in your browser (or provide a link)? Is it a 404 page? Is it an error? Something else? Bawolff (talk) 07:53, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

The URL does not correspond to a css file but to the load.php file.

Here is the link of the wiki : http://wiki-phaeton.trescarte.com/ where will be able to see the error in the console. 7heo T (talk) 15:53, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

The one-click install that I did at ionos seems to work. What have you done besides the installation? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 18:27, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Visiting your site shows the load.php giving http 500 errors. If you can edit the LocalSettings.php file, try turning on debugging.

Specifically, if you view-source on the load.php url, you'll see this:

Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom
of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging
information.

☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 18:31, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Besides doing the installation I didn't do anathing.

I've turn on debugging and now when i run the load.php file with the following parameters :

If it worked for you maybe I will try to uninstall and reinstall it ... we never know ... 7heo T (talk) 09:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

After reinstalling I still have the same problem ... 7heo T (talk) 09:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

The problem is this line right here:

Class 'FormatJson' not found

Which might mean that the PHP's json page is not installed.

But, you say you reinstalled it. And your special version page indicates that you are using Debian with MediaWiki 1.30 while it gave me Centos with MediaWiki 1.34. I'm using the 1&1 installer, not the one in Plesk (or another tool), so that is probably the difference.

How are you installing it? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 16:59, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

I've installed it directly from ionos website with their sort of "app store" and I simply clicked on "Install"

And yes I have version 1.30 but I don't know about Debian or Centos 7heo T (talk) 13:07, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

I finally solved the problem by downgrading my php version from 7.3 to 7.2

Thanks a lot for your help ! 7heo T (talk) 17:45, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

The pre/syntaxhighlight element will have to be included inside a div element which would define a new class such as syntaxhighlight-custom-color. Then that class will be used to define the new colour rules in MediaWiki:Common.css, something like:

.syntaxhighlight-custom-color pre { background-color: black; }
.syntaxhighlight-custom-color pre > font { color: red; }

How to use IsFileCacheable hook

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.

---

Extension:AccessControl (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-AccessControl/tree/REL1_34) should probably not let rebuildFileCache.php cache pages that are supposed to be access restricted. I see Manual:Hooks/IsFileCacheable can be used.

Unfortunatey there are no examples of this hook Category:IsFileCacheable extensions, is this correct in AccessControl.hooks.php:

<?php
use MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices;
class AccessControlHooks {
        public static function isFileCacheable (&$article) {
        $matches = [];

        $text = $article->getParserOutput(
            // 0 gets the current ID
            0, // $article->mOldId,
            // Don't have a user (and hopefully shouldn't need one as just grabbing tags)
            null
        )->getRawText();

        $parser = MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getParser();
        $parser->extractTagsAndParams(['accesscontrol'], $text, $matches);

        return !count($matches);
        }
        ...
}

T0lk (talk) 21:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

You can see how SMW was using the hook by seeing the code that MWJames removed when it was causing problems for someone trying to cache SMW pages. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 22:07, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

well at the very least it would be better to call $parser->getOutput()->setExtensionData() in the parser tag handler, and then check ->getExtensionData() inside this hook Bawolff (talk) 17:40, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Update to 1.34.1, desktop wiki loads then blank page appears

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!

We updated our wiki from 1.28.2 to 1.34.1 today and updated all extensions as well. Afterwards the desktop page loads, then a blank screen appears. If someone looks at the page using MobileFrontEnd, they can see any wiki page, read it, edit it and so on with no issues. This problem occurs on article and special pages, it doesn't matter what page is loaded.

Mediawiki 1.34.1 PHP 7.3.11 Database MySQL 5.7.28

Wiki is located at: succubus.net/wiki

Any advice would be very, very welcome! TeraS44 (talk) 23:31, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

In your browser developer tools (opened after pressing F12), your Wiki shows a JavaScript error for "mwCustomEditButtons is not defined". Probably "mwCustomEditButtons" is being incorrectly called in some JavaScript page on your Wiki (such as MediaWiki:Common.js); find it and remove it. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 00:02, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining what is happening, as I am not very well versed in MediaWiki, how does one go and try to find mwCustomEditButtons ? For that matter, how does one edit MediaWiki:Common.js if you can't edit it inside of MediaWiki?

TeraS44 (talk) 00:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay, fixed the error.

First problem was that as sysop I did not have the ability to edit site js. I added the right with:

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editsitejs'] = true;

In localsettings.php

editsitejs set to true for sysops.

Then I completely blanked the MediaWiki:Common.js page and saved the blank page through the Mobile page interface. On reloading the page, the wiki cleared the javascript error and the wiki has returned to normal.

That particular MediaWiki:Common.js page had been unchanged for six years and moving to 1.34.1 broke the extraedit buttons workaround that had been installed in that file.

Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction! TeraS44 (talk) 02:42, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Why search in history?

Hi

I changed the home screen many times

But in search of a site, what it finds is history

I had tried these too

php rebuildtextindex.php

Graphs in Mediawiki

Hi,

I would like to add Graph (timeline & line) using an internal data source.

what is the best extension for it? can someone send me a working examples for it.

Thanks,

Shalom

134.191.232.70 (talk) 09:27, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

See Extension:Graph or Extension:EasyTimeline or other extensions in Category:Graphical Timelines Malyacko (talk) 10:08, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

I used a graph from the Vega example and add it to my MediaWiki page and it works,

I have replaced in the "data": section the "values": part with the the "url" option

The data is not presented.

- I took the section "values" and enter them to a json file,

- the file is reachable, I am reading the data using the #get_web_data:url=http....... and it works.

Do you have any idea why it isn't working?

Do I have to add another extension to the MediaWiki so it will work?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Shalom Shalomwiess (talk) 06:24, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi,

I added support to https to the server and got

The error that I see on in the console :

[Vega Err] Error: URL hostname is not whitelisted: https://wikitest/mw/docs/ReleaseManagement/GraphTest.json

This is what i tried to add in the LocalSettings.php of the mediawiki :

$wgGraphAllowedDomains = [ 'wikiraw' => [ 'wikitest' ], 'https' => [ 'wikitest' ] ];

wfLoadExtension( 'Graph' );

$wgGraphIsTrusted = true;

i've tried to replace https with wikiraw in the page source instead of https, same issue:

"url": "https://wikitest/mw/docs/ReleaseManagement/GraphTest.json",

weird thing is, part of your data is showing in the graph that is rendered

Thanks,

Hi,

I would like to add a graph to mediawiki by reading the data from a remote json file.

I am a complete newbie.... So where do I start?

Is there some sort of a manual out there that could guide me through?

VisualEditor and Mediawiki over https

Hi

I don't succeed to make usable VisualEditor.:

visualeditor-docserver-http-error: (curl error: 77) Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?).

Here is my stunnul4 configuration:

debug = 7

output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log

verify = 2

[parsoid]

cert = /shared/stunnel.mobolab.net.crt.pem

key = /shared/stunnel.mobolab.net-without-passphrase.key.pem

CAfile = /shared/chain.mobolab.crt.pem

accept  = 192.168.1.88:8143

connect = 192.168.1.88:8142

I can see that certificates are well loaded, but stunnel never communicates with port 8142.

What can be wrong ?

as a guess, is php/curl set to use the custom cert you are using with stunnel? Bawolff (talk) 06:50, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi

Many thanks for your reply.

I just add this line in php.ini:

[curl]

curl.cainfo ="/etc/apache2/ssl/ca.pem"

ca.pem = certificates of CA + Intermediate

Am I wrong ? Do I have to add other certificates, modify options ?

ImageStack display

Hi,

Im desperately trying to get the Imagestack functionality to work.

Currently its displaying like this: https://nimbusweb.me/s/share/4058620/0phap96t4k6ww984hkce

Any ideas on where the bottle neck with cork might be?

The main issue I encountered with the install was that when importing the Template:Imagestack and Template:Imagestack/doc content I received a failed import error due to sanitized-css, though the relevant pages did seem to import in spite of this.

After I installed the TemplateStyles and Scribunto extensions doing the same import seemed to give a much worse outcome - " [d9169cbfc9f1e886ac2e9565] 2020-04-06 16:37:48: Fatal exception of type "Error" ".

Does this further info shed any light on what my next steps should be to ameliorate the issue?

Thanks,

Harry

Database error…precipitated by Twinkle?

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 getting a Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError" from English Wikipedia when I'm logged in. Searching this term on Google or MediaWiki turns up a lot of results—so many that I'm having trouble sifting through them. For the most part the people encountering this error seem too be doing under-the-hood work, and I haven't touched a setting in weeks. As far as I can tell, my error was precipitated by using Twinkle to perform an AGF rollback. The rollback failed, and I've not been able to load mainspace or diff pages in Wikipedia since. I've tried multiple browsers as well as deactivating Twinkle to no avail. I don't relish the idea of making an anon help request on English Wikipedia and then keeping tabs on it, so I'm hoping someone will take pity on me here. Full text of the error is as follows. Thanks in advance.

Creating a dropdown menu using value from a user-selected field

I'm using PageForms to create new pages using the input type of dropdown and a 'show on select' field, which I am trying to have pull the page content from the selected value with little success. Here is a snippet of 'code' which represents my ideal format.

System field|System|mandatory|values from category=Systems|existing values only

Planet field|Planet|mandatory|values from category='System'|existing values only

So in the example above, I want the user to select Sol as the system in the first dropdown, then to be able to select from the pages in the category 'Sol' in the second dropdown. I can only really use the System tag when referencing the field on the created page, not while in the form itself, so it is only in the example as a placeholder for whatever actual value I would need to use.

I cannot for the life of me find a way to do this dynamically, as using the 'show on select' tag can only be used to do this when the values are all entered into the form manually. There are going to be a lot of systems entered after the form is created, and editing the form to add each one seems unnecessarily painful.

I have also used Cargo to store this information in tables, which ideally could be pulled from easily enough, but the same issue persists with how to call the contents of said table without manually entering each one as a destination in the form. Ziggurat146 (talk) 06:29, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Difference between web and cli installer

Based on what I see here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T226857, my understanding is that there may be some difference in how the web vs cli installer finds and connects with the Percona / MySQL DB.

I have looked through Manual:Installing MediaWiki as well as Manual:FAQ#Installation and configuration

My guess from these are that if there are some external extension dependencies, then the command line installation must be used. Is this true? And, are there other cases of such differences?

Where can I learn more about the differences between these two installation approaches? Nnaka1 (talk) 14:46, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

web installer is better tested and has more options. Other than that no difference. Bawolff (talk) 07:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Upgrade to 1.34, having some pages not displaying. When editing, got a unknown character symbol

So we just upgraded our MediaWiki to 1.34. After the upgrade, several pages ended up not displaying. When we'd go to edit the page, we found the symbol on the linked example, which I believe is a unknown character in Unicode. This upgrade was from 1.2x something to 1.34, and included an upgrade to PHP. I've tried searching for this but can't find a solution upon search results. The error symbol is below.

https://scan-ne.net/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:W1KNE/UnicodeError

Here is an example of the change that fixed the page.

https://www.scan-ne.net/wiki/index.php?title=Berkshire_County_EMS&diff=47100&oldid=47049

I believe the previous character was the unicode superscript "1" (U+00B9). Necrat (talk) 14:56, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Looks like a character set issue. That question mark in a black diamond character you are seeing is the Unicode replacement character, 0xFFFD (0xEF 0xBF 0xBD in UTF-8). This is exactly what you would see if you entered superscript 1 in ISO-8859-1 (the default for PHP prior to 5.6) and saved it in the database as such, then read it back and tried to interpret it as UTF-8 (the default for PHP from 5.6 on).

Edit the page(s) and restore the correct character now everything is UTF-8 as it should be, and it should work from now on. Otherwise a quick and dirty fix would be to change default_charset back to "ISO-8859-1" in php.ini and revert to the unfixed page(s), but I cannot recommend that.

82.13.91.100 (talk) 16:22, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

note mediawiki has been using utf8 in db since mediawiki 1.5, so this is kind of an odd thing to happen Bawolff (talk) 07:02, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

add a header to Vector

Monobook had a header background image. i'd like to have one (for all pages) now that i'm using Vector. i saw this article which hinted at this, but it neglected to specify exactly how to create this. It mentions "Vector.css" but doesn't say where that file is, or where to create it or how to hook it into the system. Any hints here would be appreciated. Davecotter (talk) 16:30, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

See Manual:CSS Malyacko (talk) 19:39, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

thanks for that but, as a beginner, finding the info i need is difficult because there's a mountain of information and i don't know HOW to find it. as an experienced user i can understand that you would be frustrated with a beginner, preferring to say "read the f*** manual", but if you remember what it's like to BE a beginner, i can assure you i looked at the manual, and only became confused.

specifically: must i edit a stock file and add something that causes it to include MY css file? if so, what file, and where, and how? that is all. i looked at the page you sent me to and found nothing that seemed to me to indicate the answer to that question. is "Vector.css" an existing file? if so, where is it? if not, where do i create it? and then how do i cause it to be loaded? Davecotter (talk) 22:46, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

its just a page on your wiki named MediaWiki:Vector.css . It is not a file. The page with that name is special and automatically gets included as css. Bawolff (talk) 07:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Some CSS knowledge and a bit of experimentation will be unavoidable here. There is no straightforward way to just pop a header image into the Vector skin like there was with MonoBook.

As an example to get you started (provided the MonoBook skin is still installed on your wiki), you can use MonoBook's background image with the following CSS in your wiki's MediaWiki:Vector.css. As mentioned above, this is a real page on your wiki in the MediaWiki namespace, not a file on the filesystem; the page should already exist and be empty except for a comment explaining what it's for.

body {
    background-color: #f9f9f9;
    /* this assumes that your wiki is installed at '/w' in the web root */
    background-image: url('/w/skins/MonoBook/resources/images/headbg.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
#mw-page-base {
  background-image: none;
  background-color: transparent;
}

I used the developer tools in my browser in order to figure out which page elements to target with these CSS rules. In my opinion, that's the most straightforward way to do these kinds of customizations.

You'll notice right away, however, that this bit of CSS alone isn't going to cut it. The Vector skin's top row of tabs are created with embedded PNG images that fade to white, and that's almost certainly going to look bad with whatever background image you choose.

Good luck!

This is all fantastic info, thanks.

However, when I go to edit Vector.css, I get this:

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
You do not have permission to edit this CSS page because it may affect all visitors.
Permissions for editing of sitewide CSS/JS/JSON files were recently separated from the edit interface right. If you do not understand why you are getting this error, see mw:MediaWiki_1.32/interface-admin.

and that page it tells me to "see" doesn't exist. hmmm Davecotter (talk) 19:41, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

When you see mw: that's an interwiki prefix that means "points to an article on mediawiki.org." If you look at Special:Interwiki on your wiki and search for "mw" this will make more sense.

I guess it would've been nice if this error message had contained a clickable link, but knowing this, you still can assemble the correct URL yourself, which is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.32/interface-admin

Being able to edit the CSS for a MediaWiki web site is a security risk, so ordinary users are not permitted to do this. You will need to use the administrator account for your wiki, or make yourself a "sysop". Ernstkm (talk) 21:18, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

I get this error when trying to import the Infobox template: Class 'Wikimedia\CSS\Parser\Parser' not found

The MediaWiki instruction I found is this: "The error may come up on attempting to save a Wiki CSS page or on changing pages to "Sanitized CSS" content model. This may be caused due to some bugs which require composer install --no-dev to be run even when the extension is not installed from git".

I have NO idea how to run this "composer install --no-dev". I cannot find any instructions on mediawiki that I can understand.

I run my Mediawiki here: wiki.informatiebeveiliging.design The package is provided through my hosting provider. These are my installation details:

Product	Versie
MediaWiki	1.34.1
PHP	7.3.15 (litespeed)
MariaDB	10.1.44-MariaDB-cll-lve
ICU	63.1
Lua	5.1.5

I use Dreamweaver to upload extensions. Other than that, I have no idea how to 'run commands'.

Please help me, I cannot import templates!
Wertwijn (talk) 18:50, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

I guess the template uses the TemplateStyle extension?

If your hosting provider does not allow installing MediaWiki extensions then you need to contact your hosting provider. Malyacko (talk) 19:38, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, these topics describe the problem.

I have no problem with installing the MediaWiki extensions. The Parser-extension is also there.

My problem is that I do not understand the instruction given in these topics Project:Support desk/Flow/2019/03#h-Class_'Wikimedia\CSS\Parser\Parser'_not_found-2019-03-14T18:44:00.000Z, Extension talk:TemplateStyles/2018#h-How_to_do-2018-09-16T19:44:00.000Z, Project:Support desk/Flow/2019/03#h-Cannot_Import_Infobox_Templates-2019-03-25T20:31:00.000Z.

Unique background image on a category basis?

So my wiki used to have the option of displaying unique background images and CSS stylings but I've recently had to look for new methods of implementing it after a MediaWiki update disabled the method I was using before (which was HTML tags). Recently, we got something very basic working that just the changes the background color for certain groups of pages, but the background-image tag does not appear to load correctly. As a matter of fact, it actually disables all other elements. We devised a workaround of just overlaying an image to act as a fake background, but I'm hoping to find a more elegant solution.

tl;dr I'd like some assistance in trying to figure out how to get the background-image option to work on multiple pages.

Long version:

MediaWiki: 1.34.1

PHP: 7.3.14 (litespeed)

MySQL: 5.6.44-cll-lve

ICU: 63.1

Lua: 5.1.5

The goal is to have it so that pages based on categories (determined by a template on each page that automatically adds a category) change background images and CSS stylings on a per page basis.

Here is a link to my wiki: http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/Main_Page

On the sidebar are "settings" themed after different genres. Depending on what "setting" a page is part of, the background image and link colors change.

Here are some examples of differently colored pages:

http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/Galactic_Crucibles

http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/Infinite_Histories

http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/Dreamwalkers

The respective templates that control these pages' appearances can be found here:

http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/Template:Galactic_Crucibles

http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/Template:Infinite_Histories

http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/Template:Dreamwalkers

And lastly, here's an experimental page that attempts to use the template's code on its own CSS page. There's only one of these so far:

http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/MediaWiki:GC.css

Things I've looked in to:

While searching for help, I came across this on the Extension:CSS page:

"Using the parser function to use the CSS from another page does not work to change the color or background of the page, however, using the parser function on a single page by itself does allow the background to be changed. To overcome this problem, it is possible to load the CSS through transclusion, which does not cause the problem of failing to load the change to the page background."

However, I'm not sure I follow what exactly this means.

---

In the Template Styles Extension, there's a parameter called $wgTemplateStylesAllowedUrls. A default is given as follows:

    "audio" => [

        "<^https://upload\\.wikimedia\\.org/wikipedia/commons/>"

    ],

    "image" => [

        "<^https://upload\\.wikimedia\\.org/wikipedia/commons/>"

    ],

    "svg" => [

        "<^https://upload\\.wikimedia\\.org/wikipedia/commons/[^?#]*\\.svg(?:[?#]|$)>"

    ],

    "font" => [],

    "namespace" => [

        "<.>"

    ],

    "css" => []

]

However, replacing the URLs with that of my own site had no noticeable effect and the background-image option still wasn't working. The result was the following error:

'Page MediaWiki:GC.css must have content model "Sanitized CSS" for TemplateStyles (current model is "CSS").'

This occurs on this particular edit revision of the Galactic Crucibles template:

http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Galactic_Crucibles&direction=prev&oldid=9251

I'm not 100% sure if my syntax is correct so a possible example would be appreciated.

Also, please let me know if there's anything I need to clarify or if you have further questions about what we're trying to do here. Krayfishkarl (talk) 01:53, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

templatestyles does not normally use the mediawiki namespace. Use a page named something like template:galactic/styles.css Bawolff (talk) 07:18, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. We'll give this a shot. I may post further on this thread if we are still running into problems. Krayfishkarl (talk) 14:54, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Update, so I'm still running into issues. I just upgraded to the latest version of MediaWiki (1.34.1) and redownloaded the TemplateStyles extension version (1.34) . Whenever I attempt to change the content model of the css page to sanitized css at Special:ChangeContentModel, I get the following error:

[Xo4YCfSR5HaBHlnlGfPK9AAAAgI] /wiki/Special:ChangeContentModel Error from line 78 of <URL cleared for privacy purposes>omniversenexus.net/wiki/extensions/TemplateStyles/includes/TemplateStylesContent.php: Class 'Wikimedia\CSS\Parser\Parser' not found

The current page I'm trying to change the content model of is located here: http://omniversenexus.net/wiki/Template:Galactic_Crucibles/style.css

I've tried to look into this solution and found something about running "composer update --no-dev". However, I don't have (or at least don't know how to) access to the terminal. I'm using cPanel to manage the site and I haven't found any sort of ability to access the terminal. I am the site owner and administrator so I figure it should be something I'd be able to find.

Is there another way to fix this error without the use of a terminal? Krayfishkarl (talk) 18:34, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

not easily. You can use the mediawiki/core/vendor.git repo. Basically you can download https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-vendor/archive/REL1_34.zip and replace core MediaWiki's vendor directory with that one. Its a bit of a ymmv fix though, but it should work. Bawolff (talk) 07:00, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Alrighty then. I'll give it a try within the next day or two. I'll post back here when I have the results. Krayfishkarl (talk) 14:48, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

How to block all logs whatsoever to non Administrators?

I have a personal; non communal (at least at this point); MediaWiki 1.34.0 based, content website in which I publish technical services I offer. As a general rule, this site is not edited communally and I am its only registered user and hence its only administrator/sysop (someday I might appoint an helper or open it for communal edit but for now I don't have such a plan and anyway not prepared for that).

From various reasons, I want deleted (or moved) pages to not appear to anyone besides myself, and if they do, well, only in logs.

The following LocalSettings.php command helped me with deleted pages but not with moved pages:

$wgLogRestrictions['delete'] = 'deletedtext';

Because I know there are many logs (more than just "deleted pages" and "moved pages") and that by principle. new logs can always be added without me knowing it as a user of automatic upgrades, I contemplate to just block all logs whatsoever to non sysops and be done with it; assuming this is a good solution, I ask:

How to block all logs whatsoever to non Administrators?

This command didn't help me: $wgLogRestrictions["*"] = 'deletedtext';

49.230.68.40 (talk) 03:15, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Adding the following to LocalSettings.php didn't help:

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['restricted-logs'] = true;

$wgLogRestrictions['rights'] = 'restricted-logs';

$wgLogRestrictions['import'] = 'restricted-logs'; 49.230.68.40 (talk) 06:30, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

You'll have to add the logs and needed right in an associative array:

$wgLogRestrictions = [ 'delete' => 'deletedtext', 'move' => 'deletedtext', 'block' => 'deletedtext', 'xyz log' => 'deletedtext' ]; – Ammarpad (talk) 06:55, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Well, while the following might be good enough for me and for many others:

$wgLogRestrictions['delete'] = 'deletedtext';

$wgLogRestrictions['move'] = 'movedtext';

If you know away to restrict all logs to sysops only, please share it. 49.230.68.40 (talk) 07:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@Ammarpad I just saw your comment; thanks. 49.230.68.40 (talk) 07:10, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@Ammarpad

Please share your thoughts about this code block I came up with, it seems enough for me personally but I'm not sure it's totally correct:

$wgLogRestrictions = [

   'delete' => 'deletedtext',

   'move' => 'movedtext',

   'merge' => 'mergedtext',

   'block' => 'blockedtext',

   'upload' => 'uploadedfiles',

   'import' => 'importedfiles',

   'rights' => 'rightforuser'

];

Beyond naming or syntax, I'm not sure how am I supposed to know with which groups of users it deals (sysops, and possibly also?...),

Thanks in advance for help with this !!! 49.230.68.40 (talk) 07:43, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Is this a good approach if all I want to restrict is deletions, movements, merges, code block formation, uploads and imports and right changes?

$wgLogRestrictions = [

   'delete' => 'deletedtext',

   'move' => 'movedtext',

   'merge' => 'mergedtext',

   'block' => 'blockedtext',

   'upload' => 'uploadedfiles',

   'import' => 'importedfiles',

   'rights' => 'rightforuser'

]; 49.230.68.40 (talk) 08:14, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Wired, my comment above this one appeared to have been deleted or unpublished but after republishing in a similar fashion both appeared. 49.230.68.40 (talk) 08:15, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Only the first item will work correctly, that's delete' => 'deletedtext'. The rest will not behave the way you think, because these logs will not be viewable to anybody.

For it to work correctly, the right hand part of the array (the values), must be valid permission names defined by MediaWiki or extension or in your LocalSettings.php.

That's why in my example above I used 'deletedtext' throughout because it's given in your example and it's one of the default sysop permissions. So you don't need to change that part to a name that looks similar to the log name, you just need to use a valid right from admin group. You can use any of 'deletedtext', 'block' or 'delete' for example.

To see which group has which right; go to Special:ListGroupRights on your wiki. The name in parentheses is the internal permission name and that's what you can use in the above array. Beside each permission, you'll a find short description of what it allows person in the group to do. – Ammarpad (talk) 09:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@Ammarpad I admit I am having a hard time finding what fits what; but:

If I understood correctly from reading about deletedtext at Special:ListGroupRights page in my Wiki website, than:

I understand that that command, restricts any data about deleted AND moved webpages from any user which isn't a sysop,

i.e

$wgLogRestrictions = [

   'delete' => 'deletedtext'

];

Is like saying: Restrict ("delete") any data about deleted or moved data ("deleted data") from anyone which isn't a sysop.

---

If, so far, I have understood correctly, than this command itself, without the additions you have specified above (and I thank you for specifying them), is enough for me personally. 49.230.68.40 (talk) 12:57, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Link in the name space

What should I do to search for links in all domain names?

Sokote zaman (talk) 05:22, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

You have to give more information. Which domain name? what do you mean by links? – Ammarpad (talk) 07:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

I have a few custom name spaces.

For example, HTML:Home.

But if I want to use a link, I have to type HTML:Home.

What is the solution to link to HTML:home link just by typing home?

wikicod.ir

Thanks Sokote zaman (talk) 10:07, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Namespace is used for content separation. If you want link to 'Home' without any prefix, then create [[Home]] in the main namespace, that's without any prefix.

If you're just concerned about the looks of the link; you can add label. For instance, [[HTML:Home|Home]] will show 'Home' where it's linked but the link goes to [[HTML:Home]].

If you don't like the label solution and you're not using your main namespace, you can create a redirect from [[Home]] to [[HTML:Home]]. In that case, you'll just make a 'Home' link and you'll be silently redirected to 'HTML:Home'.

If you don't like the redirect solution either, then what you're asking is not possible. 'Home' will link to main namespace always (and then maybe redirect if applicable). Any link to any other namespace must include the namespace prefix. – Ammarpad (talk) 11:13, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, but this is not my answer. Automatically when you start a link, they will be displayed as indexed, and you can click the post without typing the name of the page as Ajax. Now how do I automatically show the remaining text of the page name by writing a part of the screen? Sokote zaman (talk) 11:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

I believe you are describing autocomplete feature of MediaWiki's built-in search box, and what you seem to be asking for is the same kind of autocomplete behavior when you begin creating a new link in the wikitext editor.

This would be a very nice thing to have indeed.

At the present time, I am not aware of any settings or extensions that would enable this for the default editor. Perhaps others would chime in with some ideas.

You may wish to look into Visual Editor and see if that can meet your needs; it seems to autocomplete on pages names across namespaces when you begin inserting a new link. Unfortunately, it is not a standalone extension that you can simply install and load from your LocalSettings.php; it requires additional software to be running on your server, and may require substantial effort on your part in order to get it working.

Good luck! Ernstkm (talk) 16:01, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Is it possible to import one wiki onto one namespace?

For example, I have a wiki called xwiki and would like to import its contents using importDump.php to ywiki. But, on ywiki I would like everything from xwiki to be imported on a namespace called XWiki:Something. So any pages that come from xwiki would be XWiki:A page. Is this possible with MediaWiki Reception123 (talk) 08:57, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Special:Import provides that, but the script does not. There's a patch (from phab:T143687 task) to add that option but it was never merged. See also phab:T64111 – Ammarpad (talk) 09:54, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your answer! Reception123 (talk) 17:59, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Problems logging in to 1.33+ after upgrade

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 manage three wikis through Installatron. All were 1.32.4. I upgraded one to 1.34.1 and it worked fine, but the other two refuse to let me log in after the upgrade - with valid credentials they say the account "cannot be created" (account creation is sysop only). Cleared cookies, tried a different browser etc. Restored the backup and it works again. After a bit of experimentation, it seems that the upgrade from 1.32.x to 1.33.x is where it is all going piriform. I looked at the changelog with particular scrutiny of "Breaking changes in 1.33", but could not see anything obvious. Presumably its not server related because one wiki is unaffected. PHP version is 7.2.

So. Any known issues I am missing? What can I do to try to diagnose this? TIA.

See Manual:How to debug/Login problems Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I did read that, and tried following the suggestions there. But there is nothing that I can see to distinguish between the one that works and the two that do not. Everything looks the same (except specific names obviously).

Mogsplosh (talk) 21:52, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

what is the name of the account (for the purposes of is it a valid user name)

Are you using shared db tables, centralauth, or any sort of login extension or non standard config

Do the accounts exist (are they listed on Special:listusers) Bawolff (talk) 06:53, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. The user names are valid, in fact they contain only alphabetic characters. (The passwords do contain punctuation, but nothing outside ASCII7.) The accounts are indeed listed on Special:ListUsers.

I am not (to my knowledge) using *any* fancy features. I installed each wiki separately (using Installatron) with no fancy settings, no special requirements and no funny names for anything. And indeed all three of them work perfectly as installed and for several updates thereafter, all the way up to 1.32. Upgrade all three to 1.34 (or even 1.33) and one still works, but two do not. So there must be something different between the two, I presume - I just cannot figure out what it might be.

Mogsplosh (talk) 17:49, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

The good news: it looks like I fixed it! The bad news: I am not sure what exactly fixed it. I went through LocalSettings.php with a fine tooth comb looking for differences between the working one and one of the broken ones and found nothing obvious. Backed it all up, tried updating again anyway (even though I had not changed anything), and it worked. It may have been some issue at the hosting service (I recently had problems with ModSecurity) or maybe something went wrong with Installatron? Hate not knowing, but what can you do.

Recherche croisée

Bonjour,

Si je recherche ONCE je trouve un certain nombre de possibilité mais je ne trouve pas la panthère des neige mais si je cherche panthère des neiges j'ai la référence ONCE.

Pourquoi la recherche ne donne pas toutes les références croisées ?

Merci,

René. Rbr146 (talk) 17:30, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@Rbr146 Salut, je crois que c'est la recherche sur fr.wikipedia.org? Oui, je peux reproduire la situation. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once est la premiere suggestion et cette page dit que "L'once est un animal de la familie des félidés, également appelé panthère des neiges."

La recherche préfère les titres des pages. Plus des informations techniques sont sur Help:CirrusSearch#Page weighting (en anglais). Malyacko (talk) 08:53, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

LoadBalancer.php and the MultiCategorySearch 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'm looking for help related to LoadBalancer.php and the MultiCategorySearch extension.

I have just updated the mediawiki installation here: https://www.mind-mapping.org/ from 1.33 to 1.34. MultiCategorySearch worked in 1.33 but crashes on my site in 1.34.

See this here: https://www.mind-mapping.org/index.php?title=Special:MultiCategorySearch or from https://www.mind-mapping.org/ click on 'special search page' in the center of that page.

The error message is as follows:

I inserted some print_r statements followed by a die after the private function line, and see that $i is '-1' $groups is 'Array ( [0] => )' $domain is 'mindmapping_mmtoolswiki-mm_'

My database is mindmapping_mmtoolswiki and the table prefix is mm_

Everything else on the site seems to be working after upgrading to 1.34.

Thanks for any guidance on this. Roygrubb (talk) 09:24, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

DB_SLAVE constant has been renamed and old alias removed in 1.34. You should upgrade MultiCategorySearch extension too. If after upgrade, DB_SLAVE is still there, you should file a bug report against the extension. – Ammarpad (talk) 15:17, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

I did check the dates on all of the non-default Extensions that I have added in the past.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Multi-Category_Search shows:

Latest version	1.69 (2016-12-13)
MediaWiki	MediaWiki 1.8 or higher

Its source page https://sourceforge.net/projects/mwext/files/MultiCategorySearch/ shows 2016-12-12

I've reverted to MW 1.33 for now and will report the bug.

Thanks very much Ammarpad for your reply. Roygrubb (talk) 16:39, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

I have installed successful the last Mediawiki mediawiki-1.34.1 on CentOS Linux 8 (Core).

I try add Extension:VisualEditor follow this document Extension:VisualEditor

But if I try add in my LocalSettings.php this value

wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );

I have HTTP error 500

My LocalSettings.php

# End of automatically generated settings.

# Add more configuration options below.

wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );

$wgDefaultUserOptions['minordefault'] = 1;

$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';

$wgVisualEditorParsoidURL = 'http://localhost:8000';

L'error is:

@Dadax1982 You installed an unstable development version which requires 1.35.0.

The page also explains how to not use the latest nightly build. Malyacko (talk) 15:17, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

@Malyacko I follow the document and I download last version Mediawiki MediaWiki 1.34.1 stable

Do you suggest download the version VisualEditor correct?

The following download instructions are for use with the latest nightly build of MediaWiki only.

cd extensions

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor.git

cd VisualEditor

git submodule update --init

Do you suggest download the version Visual Editor for 1.34?

500 error issue

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 - I've been directed here by my hosting provider, who says this about a 500 error I'm getting (sorry about this):

The message, as you are aware says:

MediaWiki 1.34 internal error

Installing some PHP extensions is required.

Required components

You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki requires to run. Please install:

fileinfo

You can, in Cpanel, enable the module 'fileinfo' in the select PHP version section - but when we do enable it for you, there is a 500 error.

As we have little experience of Mediawiki ourselves - you should contact their support and let them know you have the above error on your site, that you are running PHP 7.3 and that when you enable fileinfo to try and correct, it just results in a 500 error.

All this indicates something amiss with a recent upgrade of the software and I would recommend you make them aware.

The error that appears in the log seems to be this one:

[09-Apr-2020 14:29:19 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wfSuppressWarnings() in /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/skins/Modern/SkinModern.php:63 Stack trace: #0 /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/includes/skins/SkinTemplate.php(217): ModernTemplate->execute() #1 /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/includes/OutputPage.php(2574): SkinTemplate->outputPage() #2 /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/includes/exception/MWExceptionRenderer.php(134): OutputPage->output() #3 /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/includes/exception/MWExceptionRenderer.php(53): MWExceptionRenderer::reportHTML(Object(Error)) #4 /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/includes/exception/MWExceptionHandler.php(121): MWExceptionRenderer::output(Object(Error), 2) #5 /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/includes/exception/MWExceptionHandler.php(195): MWExceptionHandler::report(Object(Error)) #6 /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/includes/exception/MWExceptionHandler.php(167): MWExceptionHandler::handleException(Object(Error)) #7 [internal function]: MWExceptionHandler::handleUncaughtException(Object(Error)) #8 {main} thrown in /home/cv3qphmw/public_html/skins/Modern/SkinModern.php on line 63

Can you help at all? Gilgongo (talk) 15:39, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

The function wfSuppressWarnings() has been removed in MediaWiki 1.34. It has also been removed from Modern skin completely for unrelated reasons. You should upgrade the skin too. – Ammarpad (talk) 14:48, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

I want to all logs whatsoever so that only sysop-roled users could view them (including in recentchanges).

I have tried the following which didn't help (anonymous users can still read about moving of pages that were not deleted (only their name changed).

1) I have added in LocalSettings.php:

$wgLogRestrictions = [

   'delete' => 'deletedtext',

   'move' => 'deletedtext',

   'block' => 'deletedtext'

];

2) I have run in Bash:

How to restrict all logs whatsoever to non sysops (including in recentchanges)? 182.232.43.135 (talk) 03:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

@Malyacko I am the one who created this topic but my followups there didn't get intention so far. 182.232.43.135 (talk) 09:10, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

In that case, please do not deliberately fragment conversations. Thanks! :) Malyacko (talk) 14:33, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

If you put the code given to you correctly in LocalSettings.php, there's nothing more for you to do. The restriction applies sitewide. In fact, these logs will no longer be published to Special:RecentChanges even for administrators (the ones who have 'deletedtext' right). But they can view them through the logpage directly. – Ammarpad (talk) 15:59, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks @Ammarpad

@Malyacko if I could edit the previous post (especially with markdown) it is likely that all of this wouldn't happen; I wrote comments about this situation there; anyway, for me, this issue was over. 182.232.43.135 (talk) 16:29, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

How to add a checkbox to the registration form, when selecting which the user would be added to the created group?

Good afternoon!

I don’t know where else to write ...

I created a user group - "Editor".

I need to put a checkbox in the registration form, and next to it is the text.

If checked, then the user must be added to the group.

It is about creating a new user by the administrator.

I don’t understand where to dig ... and in general, what files to climb into ...

Found "LoginSignupSpecialPage.php", but it is not clear whether to add fields there. Those that are, they can be edited, but new ones do not appear. Or something like that ...

I also found "mediawiki.special.userlogin.signup.js", I hope there is no need to process the installed daw here ...

Maybe you need to do something in LocalSettings.php, then this is completely not obvious = (

I did not find what is needed in the official documentation = (

The brain can no longer tolerate this ...

Translated by google translate .... Shaddrag (talk) 13:38, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

AuthManager is official docs to add fields to signup process. Its somewhat complicated though. Bawolff (talk) 17:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi there!

Could you please let me know how can I get Extension:CentralNotice for for MW 1.29

Thank you! Fokebox (talk) 13:52, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

@Fokebox Hi, 1.29 is an old insecure version which has been unsupported for 18 months. First upgrade for your own safety. After that, use the "Download extension" link on the homepage of the extension. Malyacko (talk) 14:31, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

I know, but now it is quite difficult for me to make upgrade from 1.29 to current stabled version Fokebox (talk) 17:24, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

If you prefer to keep the door of your flat always open and let anyone in because it is quite difficult to repair its lock, so it be. :) Malyacko (talk) 09:40, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Anyway how can I download the extension for my MW 1.29? Fokebox (talk) 14:38, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

I have found the version for my MW 1.29. Thx to all Fokebox (talk) 19:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

How to redirect to an external website?

I want to redirect a page or a category to an external website.

However, when I try to do this, using #redirect, the redirected link is shown, which has to be clicked first.

I have checked the Redirect mediawiki page. Someone else has also asked this question there, but it was not answerered.

Surely this must be possible? Internal redirection and in/external linking works beautifully, so why not with redirection to external websites? Wertwijn (talk) 18:29, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

If you're referring to the question at Help talk:Redirects, it was actually answered; it was/is not possible. Although the question was answered for such long time, it's still true today.

On your "why" question, I am not sure either. If you care about external website you should add it to Interwiki_table (perhaps by using Extension:Interwiki). After that you can create interwiki redirect to the site.

Support for something "#REDIRECT http://example.com/this" is unlikely to be added to core whilst safer alternative already exists – Ammarpad (talk) 19:01, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

make sure the temp directory in that error message is writable by the webserver. The error message appears edited, so its hard to say which directory that is. It may be /tmp it may be something else. 775 is only good enough if the web user either owns or is in group of the directory (may not be true for system tmp directory). Normally i would expect /tmp to be 1777 not 775. Bawolff (talk) 01:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

No pages after import

Hello, I'm importing the Japanese version of Wikipedia. At first I made a dump file (xml > sql via mwdumper). Then I started the import, everything is fine on the command line, but the pages do not appear on the site.

What could be the problem? 82.162.123.0 (talk) 14:32, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Hard to say without clearer steps which allows others to understand and reproduce. :) Which MediaWiki version? Where to get "the Japanese version of Wikipedia"? How did you "start the import"? What happens on "the pages" when you go there? Malyacko (talk) 15:58, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

1) latest version

2) I downloaded jawiki-20200401-pages-articles.xml.bz2 from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/jawiki/20200401/

3) I used "mwdumper" for xml > sql

4) I ran this code (i use xampp so I ran the code here "xampp/mysql/bin" through the cmd) and import started

----mysql.exe --user=myuser --password=mypass

use mydb

source D:\dump.sql

----5) import completed successfully

But no pages (except the main page). 82.162.123.0 (talk) 18:19, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

mwdumper is for an old version of mw. After you import the dump run update.php to fix the imported stuff to be compatible with recent mediawiki Bawolff (talk) 01:01, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Restoring a mess

Hello,

I'd like to know how i can restore a wiki, which is a mess right now, due to a limit imposed by my host.

I was running 1.29, made a backup of the database and files before running the upgrade, and ran Softaculous update. After successful installation, i went over to the wiki, but it was full of errors (sql, database related). I asked my host about it and they told me that the version i upgraded to was only available to use on premium hosting (i run a very low traffic wiki, so a premium host doesn't make sense). I tried importing the database of v.1.29 to see what would happen but couldn't - my host told me i couldn't import that specific database without a premium account (does that even make sense? or was is that i couldn't import a database period? can such limit be imposed?). Now i've deleted the wiki folder from the server, uploading the v.1.29 files, and just now dropped all the tables, and ran the import of the v.1.29 database, but still i get errors. What i'd like now, is if i can restore the wiki, and how; i have v.1.29 database and v.1.29 files.

sql errors here https://pastiebin.com/5e947c935c3c7

what wiki shows on front page: https://pastiebin.com/5e948363ccc6b Jakeriper1 (talk) 15:05, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

@Jakeriper1 See Project:Support desk/Flow/2017/01#h-Warning_and_Fatal_Error_after_uploading_version_1.28-2017-01-07T01:20:00.000Z and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36577020/php-failed-to-open-stream-no-such-file-or-directory and get a better your host if they block you on an ancient, insecure MediaWiki version (1.29). Malyacko (talk) 15:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

they didn't block me on an old ancient insecure wiki, they failed to warn me the next version would not be working with free hosting. if i hadn't updated they would be still fine about me using the old version. Jakeriper1 (talk) 16:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

That's why I said that your host seems to be a host that I would not use as a host. Malyacko (talk) 18:11, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

the sql errors do not appear to be mediawiki errors. The other errors you link sound like some files are missing.

If you have the ability to upload php files to the server, i would reccomend not ysing softlicious and instead getting an official copy of mediawiki from this website and uploading that to the host (try to make sure to save LocalSettings.php from old wiki and use it with new one)

I agree with Malyacko, this sounds like a terrible host. Bawolff (talk) 01:00, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

thanks - i'll keep that in mind next time i install a mediawiki. for now, i've been uploading the backup wiki files (as i can upload files via ftp) and trying several things with the database and softaculous and everything else.

just as a side note, and shed some light why i'd stick to a host list this) this host has not been bad at all for the last 4 years (on this project) and 10 years maybe for all other stuff i've had online for free. i guess they had to draw the line somewhere with what i could get away with doing on the free host, and for so long - idk.

it is terrible how hard the line was drawn though. no warning about it either. but for what i've searched and tested, in the free range, they're a pretty good deal to use. they provide minutes quick (usually) helpful support replies (to free customers), allow you to put ads up (none of their own), unlimited traffic, tons of other stuff. not everything can be peachy, right?

from what im understanding, they're blocking my ability to upload big databases. their reply to my inquiries about why i couldn't roll the medawiki verison back, and importing the old database was "You need a premium hosting account for importing this database". but i've been manually creating and importing the database and its tables, importing old data, table by table and so far so good. hopefully all goes well, and the errors are indeed provoked by the host. Jakeriper1 (talk) 02:30, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

alright, got the wiki back up. as for the mysqli errors after database importing, i still got don't know what was going on. as for the errors on the wiki index page, it was a matter of changing the case of the 'Services' folder to lowercase. Jakeriper1 (talk) 13:33, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

<a> tags aren't parsed correctly

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 a MediaWiki 1.34.0 Hebrew website with only one extension (ContactPage) and I prefer not to install any further extensions.

I understand that a proper references/footnotes mechanism for Hebrew MediaWiki websites, requires installing extra modules beyond the core Cite as well as working with very complex Wiki syntax templates which is something I want to avoid; therefore, I desire to use the following templates and JavaScript as a frontend alternative:

footnotes_list

<includeonly><ol class="footnotes_list"></ol></includeonly><noinclude>

[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

footnote

<includeonly><span dir="rtl" class="footnote"><sup class="footnote_inner">{{{1}}}</sup></span></includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

JavaScript (non Babelified)

document.querySelectorAll(".footnote>sup").forEach((element, i) => {
    const li = document.createElement("li");
    li.append(...element.childNodes);
    element.textContent = i + 1;
    const footnotes_list = document.querySelector(".footnotes_list"); 
    footnotes_list.appendChild(li); 
});

const numbers = Array.from(Array(100)).map((e,i)=>i+1)
document.querySelectorAll(".footnote").forEach( (element, i)=>{
    element.setAttribute("href", `#footnote_${numbers[i]}`)
    element.setAttribute("id", "fn_"+numbers[i]);
});
document.querySelectorAll(".footnotes_list>li").forEach( (element, i)=>{
    element.setAttribute("id", "footnote_"+numbers[i]);
    element.setAttribute("href", `#fn_${numbers[i]}`)
});

My problem

<a> tags aren't parsed correctly → I get the output instead a footnote number, anywhere:

<a dir="rtl" class="footnote">או מבוססת מערכת הפעלה עם ליבות אחרות</a>

My question

What might cause <a> tags not to be parsed correctly? 182.232.61.94 (talk) 02:01, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Please delete the linked topic. 182.232.61.94 (talk) 02:02, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

mediawiki doesnt support a tags. Ise normal wiki link syntax ([https://example.com text of link here]). If you need to set attributes, wrap in a span.

I would reccomend just using the cite extension. The templates hewiki uses are complex, but cite by itself is not and there is no requirement to use those templates if you dont want to. Bawolff (talk) 00:53, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bawolff

if I use <span></span> instead <a></a> then the entire footnote_number structure becomes unclickable.

If I use <span>a></a></span> then I do get numbers wrapped in literal <a></a> and of course unclickable.

If think that at least there should be some LocalSettings.php command to allow regular usage of <a> tags.

Kindly,

49.230.94.95 (talk) 05:36, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

use [https://example.com <span class="foo">text here</span>]

To make

text here

You can use the special class plainlinks to get rid of external link icons example Bawolff (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bawolff

Neither:

<includeonly>[<span dir="rtl" class="footnote"><sup class="footnote_inner">{{{1}}}</sup></span>]</includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

Nor:

<includeonly><span dir="rtl" class="footnote">[<sup class="footnote_inner">{{{1}}}</sup>]</span></includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

Worked for me properly.

No link was created, rather just plain brackets. 49.230.94.95 (talk) 06:16, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

try

<includeonly><span dir="rtl" class="footnote">[{{{1}}} <sup class="footnote_inner">{{{1}}}</sup>]</span></includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

Assuming that param 1 is a full url (starting with https:// ) Bawolff (talk) 14:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bawolff

Thank you dearly, but it isn't a full URL, rather a local link.

As I am not a frontend expert and pretty much ran out of time for experimenting JS with this (and also get annoyed to Babelifi JS and past it in the JS webpage inside my Wiki which lacks any syntax highlighting when edited), I think it is best for me to study the source code of the common (Cite-Scribunto based) templates and create these backend. 49.230.94.95 (talk) 05:06, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

(and also get annoyed to Babelifi JS and past it in the JS webpage inside my Wiki which lacks any syntax highlighting when edited each time anew)* 49.230.94.95 (talk) 11:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

for syntax highlighting there is extension:CodeEditor.

the local link version basically uses [[{{{1}}}|<span class="foo">{{{1}}}</span>]] syntax instead. Bawolff (talk) 15:15, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Well, with that code neither footnotes, nor footnote numbers get created:

<includeonly>[[{{{1}}}|<span dir="rtl" class="footnote">{{{1}}}</span>]]</includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

RE: Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault#Changing options for existing users

The statement on Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault#Changing options for existing users appears to be wrong (or misleading):

"In MediaWiki 1.16 and later, you do not have to change options for existing users."

I just added NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK which changes immediately become effective. And I triple-checked!

Pls. can you check - and correct the Mediawiki page in case? Perhaps the text was misleading and should be reformulated such as

"In MediaWiki 1.16 or later, the change becomes effective immediately for all users." Wikinaut (talk) 12:05, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Looks like the "change options" part referrers to userOptions.php script. Apparently, when the page was updated in 2016, it left some confusion. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:30, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

I updated/clarified the doc. The statement was correct but worded in ambiguous way.

"You do not have to change options for existing users." means the same thing as what you're suggesting if you read it carefully. – Ammarpad (talk) 16:39, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

I can´t install extensions

Hello, when I installed media wiki using softaculous and I can´t install extensions in file zila.

When I put them, I see failed transfers and I do not know why, besides that it takes a long time, they are hundread of archives Alejitao123 (talk) 13:21, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

"hundreds of archives"? Where are you getting your extensions from?

For each extension there should be a single archive which can be uploaded through FileZilla and then extracted there on the server. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:17, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Does Hebrew Wikipedia's reference templates require installing any extension beyond the core Cite, for proper usage?

Please have a look at Hebrew Wikipedia's (RTL) reference/footnote templates:

Footnotes_list ("הערות שוליים")

<noinclude>{{ניהול פרמטרים/תוכן}}[[קטגוריה:תבניות עם ניהול פרמטרים]]</noinclude><includeonly>{{#invoke:ParamValidator|validateparams|module_options=יחידה:PV-options}}<div class="reflist references-small {{#ifeq:{{{יישור|}}}|שמאל|mw-content-ltr}}" {{#ifeq:{{{יישור|}}}|שמאל|style="overflow: auto"}}>     
{{#tag:references|{{{הערות|}}}|group={{{group|{{{קבוצה|}}}}}}|responsive=1}}</div></includeonly><noinclude>
{{תיעוד}}
<templatedata>
<!-- TEMPLATE METADATA -->
</templatedata>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות עריכה|הערות שוליים]]
</noinclude>

Footnote ("הערה")

<includeonly>{{#invoke:פרמטרים|equal|קוד=הערה/קוד|1|שם|קבוצה|שמאל|ימין}}</includeonly><noinclude>{{תיעוד}}[[קטגוריה:תבניות עריכה|הערה]] [[קטגוריה:תבניות ביבליוגרפיות|הערה]]
<templatedata>
<!-- TEMPLATE METADATA -->
</templatedata>
</noinclude>

The Footnote template gets primarily called by the {{הערה|שם="שם"|תוכן}} call and can be secondarily called by {{הערה|שם="שם"}} which is actually calling it again by a name.

My problem

Beyond the fact that I find the Wiki syntax of at least the first template quite complex, dense and confusing, I am wondering if they require installing any extension beyond the core Cite extension and what made me wonder this is the #invoke declaration there which I don't know its purpose.

My question

Does Hebrew Wikipedia's reference templates require installing any extension beyond the core Cite, for proper usage? 49.230.94.95 (talk) 14:58, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

The #invoke part requires Extension:Scribunto to work. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:20, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Why even using it and if one uses it, should something be configured on top of mere installation? 49.230.94.95 (talk) 17:49, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

scribunto should work out of box.

I am not sure I fully understand that sentence; please kindly rephrase it.

(I always create namespaces such as draft: by draft:ARTICLE_NAME so shouldn't that be enough?) 49.230.94.95 (talk) 04:46, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

What was meant is that most Wikipedia templates are a combination of additional templates and modules. To make one template work on your MediaWiki installation, you'll have to import other related templates and modules too.

The easy way to do this is to use the Special:Export page, insert the name of the template that you want to import into your Wiki, check the Include templates checkbox and click on Export. After this, you can use Special:Import of your Wiki to import all the relevant templates and modules into your Wiki. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 05:12, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

@AhmadF.Cheema I became confused from reading about exporting and importing extensions: Is this some kind of an alternative to directly downloading and installing extensions (and inputting other data to the system)? 49.230.94.95 (talk) 06:35, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

This is related to exporting and importing pages, not extensions.

Regarding extensions, you shouldn't need to do anything after installing Extension:Scribunto. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 14:24, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

prezi extension

How can I embed a PREZi presentation on the wiki?

I already have the PREZI extension installed and have added it to LocalSettings.php Prenedo1922 (talk) 15:11, 14 April 2020 (UTC) Maybe something like:

<prezi width="550" height="400" id="PRESENTATION_ID"></prezi>

Problem updating to 1.34

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 a working install of 1.30 here https://wiki.ampr.org

Trying to upgrade to 1.34, everything appears to go ok, but afterwards no users are able to login. When trying to login with the same username & password as before the upgrade the error is "Auto-creation of a local account failed: Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name." No errors seen in log files.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks G1fef (talk) 22:00, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

It looks like you just took your site offline. I was going to ask what extensions you have installed. Are you using native MediaWiki authentication? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 18:54, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Any further ideas on this? I have a brand-new installation and I'm getting the same error when trying to login. I'm the only user. I commented out all my modifications to localsettings.php to troubleshoot but it hasn't fixed the problem, and the only other modification I've made to the base installation is uploading files for extensions and themes. Archaic Meander (talk) 16:51, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Did you run the maintenance update script after upgrading?

Are you using the native MW authentication per the previous question above?

TiltedCerebellum (talk) 23:32, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I have same problem after upgrade my OS. I am not able to sing in. I already run update script, disable modifications and use native mw authentication. Does anybody have any idea?

Thank 185.86.98.226 (talk) 10:02, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I have similar problem. I was using mediawiki 1.22 with LDAP authentication. I have upgraded to 1.34 and sign in process work properly. I have had to install new instance of mediawiki (same OS, PHP, MySQL, LDAP, ...), I used same configuration, but on new instance sign in process failed with "Auto-creation of a local account failed: Username entered already in use". I tried turn off LDAP authentication, but the same problem. Any idea? Thanks 213.81.173.106 (talk) 08:00, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

I have same issue with Update from 1.31 to 1.35.1.

It failed due "Auto-creation of a local account failed: Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name." error.

User/pass worked before update. I started web update and the error shows up as a step of the upgrade process.

I use native MW authentication.

Any ideas? Joroldr (talk) 13:18, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

I managed to solve my issue. It is a problem in web updater. When I started shell updater, it solved all my issues.

Cheers Joroldr (talk) 17:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

I had a similar problem after upgrading to 1.35.1 from an older version, and what solved it for me was to add

$wgSharedTables[] = 'actor';

to LocaleSettings.php as documented on Manual:Shared database. The actor table is new since 1.31 and it should also be shared across instances... Madewild (talk) 12:30, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

It has perhaps to be investigated further but sharing the tables 'actor' some time after sharing the 'user' table might lead to a desynchronization and a wrong attribution of some editions: e.g. when a_actor and b_actor are shared and a_actor is the new shared table, the old user actor_id = 3283 from b_actor is not the same username than actor_id = 3283 in a_actor. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 15:34, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I hit this problem too. Finally, I found that I didn't perform "php update.php" to update the DB. After that it works fine. Avin Shum (talk) 09:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Error running update script after installing SemanticMediaWiki

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, I've installed MediaWiki 1.34.0 successfully with PerconaDB and am trying to install the SemanticMediaWiki plugin 3.1.5 through composer.

The installation successfully completes through composer, but afterwards when I run the update script (php .../maintenance/update.php) to update the DB tables, I see an error:

Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1603 of <MY_PATH>/mediawiki-1.34.0/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: INSERT  INTO `smw_prop_stats` (p_id,usage_count,null_count) VALUES ('1','0','0')

Function: SMW\SQLStore\TableBuilder\Examiner\PredefinedProperties::doUpdate

Error: 1105 Percona-XtraDB-Cluster prohibits use of DML command on a table (<MY_DB_NAME>.smw_prop_stats) without an explicit primary key with pxc_strict_mode = ENFORCING or MASTER (<MY_DB_HOST:MY_DB_PORT>)

I originally ran into a similar issue when installing MediaWiki itself, but was able to work around it using the command-line installer. Another solution that was presented at that time is tracked here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T226857. Due to system restrictions, I am unable to set the pxc_strict_mode=PERMISSIVE as some forums seem to suggest.

Have folks been able to find a solution for this? Nnaka1 (talk) 13:38, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

maybe a bug in smw. Seems like p_id should be a primary key. You could try filing a bug with the smw project Bawolff (talk) 15:56, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Export/import pages via shell

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to export pages, which are in a specific category, via shell. The export should be imported in a wiki with shell.

Is this possible? Ralfpotter (talk) 13:44, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

See manual:importDump.php and manual:dumpBackup.php Bawolff (talk) 15:54, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

But can those scripts be used to limit dumps only to particular categories? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

How can I achieve this?

Create a custom namespace for a custom category?

php dumpBackup.php --current --filter=namespace:"customID" > templates.xml Ralfpotter (talk) 07:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Page titles with periods yield nginx errors

Hi everyone. For some time now, page titles that start with periods (this used to work in the past, I know I wouldn't do that again) yield an nginx page forbidden error (403).

To replicate visit https://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Special:AllPages and open one of the pages that start with "..." for example the article "...continuavano a chiamarlo Trinità

Periods seem to be the only special character causing problems I cannot seem to fix. Where would I look to mitigate this? At least I would have to a) access the content of those pages b) create alternative locations and then also c) forward the old title pages with the periods to the new ones to be on the safe side.....

Thank you 2001:16B8:487C:7A00:4C35:7872:7157:4E55 (talk) 15:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

you probably have some config rule meant to prevent access to dotfiles. You will have to try and change your nginx config.

You can still access via api or using title url parameter https://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php?title=...continuavano_a_chiamarlo_Trinità&redirect=no you can also try disabling fancy urls ($wgUseArticlePath =false;) Bawolff (talk) 15:53, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

thank you, changed the respective lines in etc/nginx/additional_server_conf according to the server admin, that should not pose a security risk... but to be on the safe side i will transition away my wiki to not using article title that start with dots.... it is a legacy issue of sorts. 2001:16B8:487C:7A00:4C35:7872:7157:4E55 (talk) 18:27, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

the reason why servers often ban things starting with a dot, is that some servers use a file named .htaccess or .htpassword which might have sensitive data. Also some text editors (vim) create swap files beginning with a dot, which could potentially leak sensitive file contents if you are editing files directly on the server with vim Bawolff (talk) 00:47, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Is … an option? This is the original character and better than 3 dots. Simpsonspedia.net (talk) 19:11, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Login issues

Hello,

I am contacting you as you do not have a clear link on how to send a question/complaint to someone to get issues resolved.

I can't login to wiki miraheze even following https://meta.miraheze.org/m/4FU

It seems that every member that does edits to our sites have been logged out and I am getting a lot of personal emails now stating that pages have been edited, but I now don't know who has done what as all I have is IP addresses. I have cleared my cookies for wiki and miraheze nut still need the ones for other websites.

My user id is Denevs74. I have tried to message but as I can not log in I can not see a response. Can you please at least get my email from my userid and give me some advice please. Denevs74 (talk) 19:43, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

hi. You need to contact miraheze support. We can only help with generic mediawiki issues-anything specific to miraheze you need to ask them. Bawolff (talk) 00:44, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

That can't happen then as it won't let me login to miraheze so I will never be able to get a reply. Thanks for your help. I will just have to leave the miraheze wiki section then and stop using it. I will also let all the people who are currently on it with me that we will have to stop our community activity for the time being as we can not update anything (which is a shame after creating 930+ pages so far).

Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (C.UTF-8)

Unfortunately I haven't had any help on Extension_talk:PdfHandler since posting Extension talk:PdfHandler/Archive 2/Flow export#h-Error_creating_thumbnail:_/bin/bash:_warning:_setlocale:_LC_ALL:_cannot_change_l-2020-02-26T00:30:00.000Z a couple of months ago, so I hoped it might reach a wider audience here.

I get the error above when PDF Handler tries to create a thumbnail of PDF files. I guess it is a problem with my server, but any advice would be welcome. Thank you. Jonathan3 (talk) 21:51, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

that's a warning that shouldnt stop pdfs from being created. Its not ideal, but can probably be ignored. Bawolff (talk) 00:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. But something is preventing the thumbnails of PDF files from being created, which isn't something I can ignore so easily :-) For example, in the "New Files" page the message appears multiple times (once for each would-be thumbnail location), and in the File: page it appears twice (once where I think the big current page is meant to be, and once where I think the small "next" page is meant to be). Jonathan3 (talk) 22:25, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

i think its likely that some other error is happening in addition to that warning. Bawolff (talk) 15:21, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I am stuck here as this is all new to me.

Are there a variety of ways to make the thumbnails on MediaWiki? Maybe I could try each in turn.

Or maybe I could try to do it via the command line, to see if it's a problem with the server.

It sounds like ultimately this isn't really a MediaWiki question, but I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. Jonathan3 (talk) 11:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Extension talk:PdfHandler/Archive 2/Flow export#h-Warning_Messages_in_gs_subprocess_fail_image_creation-2015-01-11T11:36:00.000Z mentions "... fail image creation. The reason is gs prints out warning messages to stdout and this gets processed by convert and fails of course."

Could it be that ANY error message from ghostscript (such as the local error I'm getting) can cause the whole thing to stop working? Jonathan3 (talk) 21:30, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

My hosting provider changed "$wgShellLocale to en_US.utf8 as this is the suggested alternative if C.UTF-8 isn't available" which got rid of the error. Now I get "Error creating thumbnail:" with no details. I don't imagine I've provided enough information to elicit any help, but if I get to the bottom of it I'll explain it here :-) Jonathan3 (talk) 20:28, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

the "Removing bad 17002-byte thumbnail" implies that it succeded, but exited with a non zero exit status so the thumbnail was thrown away.

Error -1 can sometimes mean exit status out of range.

I guess try the individual command from cli as the web user, and try doing the parts separately, see what happens. Bawolff (talk) 02:02, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

In the end I gave up. Thanks for the assistance though.

random page option brings up wiki-pages not created by myself

I have installed media-wiki as an app from my service provider. I have filled it with my own wiki-pages but was very surprised when I selected the random page that random pages not created by me or other admins appear. Is this content I can delete? Is it content not stored on my server and just linked to? or do I have a security issue that I need to tighten?

many thanks,

William Wking0 (talk) 00:05, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

we dont know what your service provider does, they may have added extra pages.

For the official version of mediawiki, the only page automatically created is the main page.

Maybe your wiki is open to the public and other users are creating new pages. Check also the page Special:RecentChanges on your wiki to see if there's someone creating more pages.

Get templates at the bottom of some of your desktop pages at the bottom of the same pages on your mobile site

How can I get the templates that are at the bottom of some of your pages on your desktop site at the bottom of the same pages on your mobile site? Adwissler (talk) 05:08, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Should all RTL MediaWiki projects include Scribunto extension?

From a reason not clear to me, in Hebrew WIkipedia the maintainers decided not to only use the core Cite extension for references/footnotes and are also using Scribunto for some #invoke command.

In the past I tried to understand why Cite isn't enough for them but I didn't manage to understand the Hebrew explanation I read in the reference desk of Hebrew Wikipedia.

Should all RTL MediaWiki projects include Scribunto extension? 49.230.94.95 (talk) 06:20, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't think Extension:Scribunto has any direct necessity for RTL projects. The extension only allows the use of Lua language which is needed to make more complicated templates. If a MediaWiki project doesn't need such templates, then the extension won't be needed. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Does moving a page move all that page's sub-pages?

I can't find anything online about this. CatObsession (talk) 13:44, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Help:Moving a page#Moving subpages Malyacko (talk) 19:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you but I don't really understand what that means. Can I just move a page and all the sub-pages will move or do I have to move all sub-pages individually? CatObsession (talk) 13:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

If you mark the checkbox to move all subpages, they will be moved as well. That's up to you.

Note, however, that the namespace should have subpages enabled, otherwise the checkbox for moving subpages will not appear. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 14:01, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Remove Category Header

Hello

For hours trying to remove only the header in the category view.

h1.firstHeading { display:none; }

This remove every headers.

But I will only remove Category headers like this: Category:Fahrzeuge

Or can I just hide the word 'Category:'?!? Mansaylon (talk) 15:10, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

The body tag of a category page has class ns-14 (see Manual:Namespace#Built-in_namespaces) so you could probably use that in your CSS. Jonathan3 (talk) 22:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. This is my solution:

body.ns-14 h1 { display: none; } 217.118.206.50 (talk) 13:26, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

you prob want

body.ns-14 h1.firstHeader { display: none; }

Otherwise all level 1 headers (including any in the page) will be deleted, not just the title header Bawolff (talk) 15:19, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Include single pages into a chapter page

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 moving from a wikidot site to mediawiki. On the wikidot site I have a page representing a chapter that consists of all the single pages which are also wiki pages, each of which contains the actual text of that page. The chapter thus only consists of inclusions and when the chapter page is opened, the full content of the chapter can be seen. The chapter page contains:

[[include 0056]]
[[include 0057]]
[[include 0058]]
[[include 0059]]
[[include 0060]]
[[include 0061]]
[[include 0062]]

Is something like this possible in MediaWiki? Paul142857 (talk) 21:24, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, see Transclusion. You would end up with something like:

{{:0056}}
{{:0057}}
{{:0058}}

Where those numbers are the page titles of the individual pages. Jonathan3 (talk) 22:28, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

What encoding is the category links SQL dump (Python cannot parse)?

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T250517

I'm trying to get all Wikipedia categories links for a project. I've successfully managed to load enwiki-latest-page.sql SQL dump using UTF-8. However, I get the following error when trying to parse enwiki-latest-categorylinks.sql in Python:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xdc in position 1957: invalid continuation byte

If I ignore the errors, or use decode the file byte by byte, the SQL file seems to contain non-unicode characters after line 45, which messes the file up. Can anyone shed some light on the issue? Is this expected? Couldn't find anything on the help page. Since I was able to easily open the the page database using UTF-8, I did not expect this error. The code I'm using is very simple:

with open(filepath, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
  for _ in range(80):
    # Peek first 80 lines
    # outputFile.write(f.readline())
    print(f.readline())

Module (JS) implemented, but "function not defined" error

I'm setting up an extension to use OpenSeadragon for zoomable images, for this I'm modifying an "experimental" extension (Extension:ZoomableImages). If I dump the contents of openseadragon.js in Common.js it all works.

But if I try to use Resource Loader, I get "Uncaught ReferenceError: OpenSeadragon is not defined".

My modules are defined in extension.json as ResourceModules "scripts". I'm loading them using $parser->getOutput() ->addModules in my extension. They do get loaded. Indeed, if I copy and paste the content of the load.php call in the console, it says "module already implemented". But putting the call for my function in the console still says "function not defined".

Funnier still, if I use debug=true in the URL it then works.

Let me know if it's useful to share the URL of my installation and thanks for your help. Meeerkat507 (talk) 20:41, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

http://vacacionesdetrabajo.org/wiki/index.php?title=Siempreshoy1 Meeerkat507 (talk) 23:41, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Here are my ResourceModules from extension.json:

    "ResourceModules": {
        "ext.ZoomableImages.openSeadragon": {
            "scripts" : "extensions/ZoomableImages/openseadragon/openseadragon.min.js"
        },
        "ext.ZoomableImages.carga": {
            "scripts" : "extensions/ZoomableImages/carga.js",
			"dependencies": [
				"ext.ZoomableImages.openSeadragon"
			]
        },
        "ext.ZoomableImages": {
			"dependencies": [
				"jquery.client",
                "ext.ZoomableImages.carga"
        ]
        }
    },

And my loading code in my extension.php:

...
	public static function onParserInit( Parser $parser ) {
		$parser->setHook( 'zoomableimage', [ self::class, 'zoomableimageRender'] ); 
		return true;
	}
	static function zoomableimageRender( $input, array $args, Parser $parser, PPFrame $frame ) {
		$parser->getOutput() ->addModules( 'ext.ZoomableImages.openSeadragon' );
		$parser->getOutput() ->addModules( 'ext.ZoomableImages.carga' );
...

Meeerkat507 (talk) 03:56, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Fixed it, apparently, by redoing the dependencies and order of things in extension.json. Meeerkat507 (talk) 16:23, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

PageForms in 1.34 does not work with editor=wikieditor

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T250862

Hi,

I've been reading around in the mediawiki support pages but haven't found a solution for this issue :

I get a lot of console warnings about deprecated jquery calls, and "editor=wikieditor" is not working when used in a "free text" from in a PageForms extensions page

I have tried deactivating all extensions but then I still get a couple warnings so it seems to be related with the chore installation? idk

To be completely clear: the core issue you are trying to resolve is this:

"editor=wikieditor" is not working when used in a "free text" from in a PageForms extensions page

right?

For that, I don't know how to help you more, but you might be able to get help from someone else here or from @Yaron Koren. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 20:43, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

@MarkAHershberger - thanks for tagging me. I don't know what's causing this problem. (It's not related to those jQuery-related warning messages.) It's certainly possible that the Page Forms JS code for handling WikiEditor no longer works with more recent versions, and needs to be updated. Yaron Koren (talk) 01:55, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

mmm thanks for the answers... So I wait for the next version of PageForms to hopefully fix this I guess? 171.6.248.230 (talk) 08:53, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

and yes, the issue is "editor=wikieditor" is not working when used in a "free text" form in a page that uses PageForms.

So whenever I edit the page using PageForm (by clicking on "edit with form") the free text field does not have the wikieditor, instead it shows a regular textarea without buttons. If instead I edit the page clicking on the "Edit" link then wikieditor works. 171.6.248.230 (talk) 08:56, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

sorry I meant "when used in a 'free text' textarea / input field"

like this:

'''Free text:'''
{{{standard input|free text|rows=10}}}
This also does not work:
{{{standard input|free text|rows=10|editor=wikieditor}}}

@Yaron Koren Thanks 171.6.248.230 (talk) 08:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Coincidentally, I noticed the same problem today. The editor=wikieditor parameter doesn't work for free text inputs, or any textarea inputs either any more. I've recently upgraded to MW1.34.1 and have Page Forms 4.8 (4d268f8). I've checked and the textarea does have class="wikieditor". Jonathan3 (talk) 22:05, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Watch the Phabricator task for updates. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 20:55, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I subscribed to watch that task. One thing I don't understand : why is that task mentioned in this one https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rEPFM4d268f852e66f7b87790405631fde3d7216b2ade ? They seem to be completely unrelated, as this issue is with wikieditor, not VisualEditor, and I tried applying the diff of that task to my PageForms includes/forminputs/PF_TextAreaInput.php but nothing changed. Just curious why do you guys think that other task is related. Thank you very much @MarkAHershberger@Yaron Nifunifa20 (talk) 04:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

how to configure multi domains

I'm sorry for my poor Engilsh. I would like to configure more than one domain for my wiki. mydomain1.com mydomain2.com mydomain3.com ...

Issues migration: from 1.10 (windows) to 1.34 (linux)

Dear Support,

I am new in this project/support tool and I hope doing the correct steps.

I need to migrate from Windows MediaWiki 1.10 to Linux MediaWiki 1.34. I followed all the steps to migrate the database etc but in debug mode I get next. Don´t really know how to continue.

It is an internal mediawiki then I can´t share the URL.

Hi!

I'm trying to implement Infobox Person using as a model this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Martha_Bernays&action=edit. I copied its source code and installed every template/module that the page uses. However, my result is full of little errors.

Things like this are appearing, even though there is not these parameters in the source code, and its in the middle of the page, not fitted in a little box in the right uppercorner.

signal 25 is SIGXFSZ, which would be manual:$wgMaxShellFileSize is too small (However possibly image magick is creating big temp files because it ran out of memory, so mark may ultimately be right. Anyways, try playing with both setting). Bawolff (talk) 23:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Installing localhost MediaWiki on Fedora "LocalSettings.php" not found

Hi all.. Had mediawiki installed beforehand on windows/wamp and have been using for years, now deploying on a fedora box. It runs through the mediawiki install via browser, but then says it cannot find the localsettings.php, even when the file is actually in place. I ran through the setup again, restarted the server, but it doesn't pick up the file that's sitting in the directory as directed. I check the contents of the file and they are clearly the settings I chose during install. Not sure what to do next. Also this extended guide is down: https://ofswiki.org/wiki/Mediawiki_Setup_Guide Thank you for any help you can give on the matter. Mellowmammoth (talk) 23:21, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Did you download and install MediaWiki yourself or did you use the Fedora package?

What file location did you put your LocalSettings.php file in?

The old copy of that setup guide can be found via the wayback machine. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 00:29, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, thank you for the waybackmachine link. I did install from a package following the instructions on this link: Manual:Running MediaWiki on Fedora

The package command installed the the media wiki folder at /var/www and then I moved the LocalSettings.php file that I had to download after the browser based setup.

So is the fedora package not the best way to go for this?

Also I am unsure if its helpful to know but I have wordpress installed at /var/www/html, and that works correctly.

Thank you for taking the time to chime in. Mellowmammoth (talk) 03:03, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

then I moved the LocalSettings.php

Do you mean that you put the LocalSettings.php into /var/www?

I have wordpress installed at /var/www/html

HiDPI (2x) images?

many macs have "retina" displays, many PCs run at 200% scale. is there a built in method for serving up 2x images? see my more detailed question Davecotter (talk) 01:51, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Did you see HiDPI display support? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 02:02, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

"This article is outdated. It was written for an older version of MediaWiki and may not apply to the most recent version"

and even if it does work: "this code applies only to images created through Linker methods". I'm not sure exactly what that means, but for almost all images i just use the URL to the image like this:

[https://karaoke.kjams.com https://karaoke.kjams.com/screenshots/about2x.png]

it's just an image. but it's a 2x image. i want it served so it appears at 1x, but HiDPI on screens that support it Davecotter (talk) 15:48, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

The article is outdated, but it talks about how this is done in MediaWiki.

Specifically, this works with images uploaded to MediaWiki through Special:Upload or an extension like SimpleBatchUpload (e.g. the "Linker methods"), not to any image (like the one in your screenshots directory).

Turn on $wgResponsiveImages, upload your about2x.png image, and then embed it in wikitext.

If that doesn't work, let me know. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 20:46, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I attempted what you suggested, but I must have missed something? Davecotter (talk) 22:02, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

If you look at the image's file page, you can see the source contains the necessary srcset attributes, so MediaWiki at least has the capability now.

I think if you set the width of the image so it doesn't use the full-size image (like [[File:rogue_01.png|800px]], you should see better results. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 00:39, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

this requires that i know the dimensions of each picture. how do i say "this is 2x, please serve it at 1x" without having to KNOW the dimensions of the pic? Davecotter (talk) 00:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Sure, but the size you want is easy to find if you go to the File: page for the image. Just choose a size and adjust down or up as necessary. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 01:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

i do understand how it works now, and if that's the ONLY way then i guess that's the only way. :(

but what i really want is to be able to reference a picture by URL, and just label it as 2x, without having to know its dimensions. the whole POINT of computers is that it can compute things FOR us. the current system requires me to upload photos into the wiki media manager (i don't want to do that) and to know its dimensions (i don't want to have to deal with that). i want simple, so non-tech savvy editors can add hidpi pix, the current system is too complex.

is there a plugin that does this? Davecotter (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

As far as I know, you are describing a system that does not exist. Someone would have to build it. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 16:34, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

OBAID

I am working with a customized version of MediaWiki 1.33 called UCP at fandom.com.

I am relatively new to MediaWiki, but I am coming up to speed.

I would like to ask about the title typing system with MediaWiki, as it applies to image objects in the 'File:' namespace. There is code that requires the title of the object to have the extension of the internal format of the file that was uploaded for it. It also forbids you from moving the file to a title that doesn't use the internal file type's extension. To me, this seems a little ludicrous. I have an image, I can put it in a box on a page. I don't care about it's internal format, and wouldn't care unless I needed to download it. I can look at the object's metadata page if I'm concerned about the format.

The reason that I find this an issue, is I wrote some code for my wiki that uses an automatic image article system. The image displayed depends on the title of the article. If the expected image does not exist, it displays a broken file link on the article, and shows up in the lists of wanted files. This part works fine.

However, I didn't think it proper to make the image have a set file extension, like all '.jpg' or whatever. If MediaWiki can display the image, I don't care about it's internal format. So I discovered that you can create a redirect in the file system, so that you can use a redirect with the title sans the internal file format descriptor, and I use a human coding document to explain how to create such a redirect to get the desired image to display. However, I think this process is a little ugly, and that the user should just be able to click on the broken file link and upload a file using that name.

So, my question is, why is that internal image file format descriptor code still there, and is there really any other part of MediaWiki that would break if it were removed? I mean you can get rid of it by using redirect, but that really requires a little technical expertise to do this properly. Also, it seems to break the generality of replacing an image. If I have a .jpg in the file system, and want to upload a new image, and if I use a .png instead, I suppose that strong typing on the title of the object is going to get MediaWiki upset and say no to that for no good reason.

I think this code is simply anachronism, a leftover from the 'Image:' file system days. Convince me otherwise, but I think this cancerous tumor of pointless code should be removed, or maybe modified to do the job of saying; "Dear stupid human, MediaWiki will not convert this .SVG file to a .JPG if you change the extension in the title, it will still be a .SVG if you later download it. Would you like to continue?"

Rant mode off.. Thedarkgreenmeme (talk) 08:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

> I think this code is simply anachronism, a leftover from the 'Image:' file system days.

correct ;) —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 11:57, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

I wanted to an an aside to my topic. I went about looking for a way to get basic information about objects in the 'File:' namespace from the TemplateParser, namely, information that is listed on the metadata page when you refer to a File: system object in the browser. My plan of attack was to transclude this metadata page in the parser, then use parser string functions to operate on this transcluded data.

1) I could not figure out how to transclude this metadata page. Transcluding a file system object simply returns no data in in the implementation I am using.

2) Even if I could transclude this data and operate on it, I discovered that the string functions are crippled, and rightfully so, to minimize DoS attacks.

So, I can look at this metadata page in the browser, and see a lot of standardized information that should be available from the Template Parser. But from the Template Parser, there's just no way to do it, and if there was, it would turn into an expensive call that would be susceptible to a DoS attack.

I would like to inspire someone to write a Template Parser extension that handles this, such as returning good clean simple basic information from a File: system object such as its MIME type for a start.

Navigation bar had moved to the bottom, and pages look disorganized

I recently change the URL of my Wiki, and updated the version along with the backend database and php versions.

Now it all looks like crap, and I can't figure out why.

I've made sure I had the latest version of the extensions, even tried disabling them one by one to see if that fixes the problem.

I looked at URL rewrites and played around with settings in the .htaccess and LocalSettings.php, but that only broke more things.

I'm not sure what to try next.

Website: http://spaldam.com Spaldam (talk) 18:40, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

@Spaldam Open the Developer Tools of your web browser, go to the "Network" tab, and see that your website tried to load things from external domains called "load.php" and "resources". Which are not domains.

Check the values of things like $wgServer, $wgScript, $wgScriptPath, $wgLoadScript, $wgArticlePath, et al. Malyacko (talk) 19:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks @Malyacko. I see what you are saying about the incorrect domain calls, but I don't see anything wrong with the variables you mentioned. I've double check my .htaccess file and my settings. I'm not sure what I'm missing...

LocalSettings.php:$wgServer = "http://spaldam.com";

LocalSettings.php:$wgScriptPath = "/";

LocalSettings.php:$wgScriptExtension = ".php";

LocalSettings.php:$wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/skins";

$wgLoadScript says it was removed in the release notes, I don't see it set anywhere.

LocalSettings.php:$wgArticlePath = "/pages/$1";

@Spaldam I'd rather say an empty $wgLoadScript is the problem here. You state that "it was removed in the release notes". Unfortunately you did not say which version you are running, but for 1.34 the JavaScript global variable wgLoadScript has been removed. That is not $wgLoadScript. Malyacko (talk) 08:34, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it's on 1.34

I added the variable:

$wgLoadScript = "/load.php";

That seems to have fixed it. I'm not sure why, considering the default value shown on the page you linked to is basically equivalent.

Still, I do very much appreciate your help. Spaldam (talk) 05:03, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I am a student who had to create a wiki page and as time went by we continuously added to our page, updating and filling it with course content that we learned . The course is now finished and I personally put in alot of work and am proud of the end result. I would like to somehow save the pages/code in some offline folder on my desktop but i have no idea how. If someone could direct me that would be great. Not the most tech savy person .

Thankyou

You can export the page (with all the revisions, if you want) by using Special:Export. Alternatively, if you just want the page itself, try printing it using the link in the sidebar. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 21:09, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

You can also use tools of the browser that allows to save a page and it doesn't matter if it is a wiki page or not Fokebox (talk) 10:27, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

You could use something like Zotero to save snapshots of each web page, or just use the "save as" option, or just cut and paste into a Word document. Jonathan3 (talk) 21:49, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

@Pfsmit89 Hi, are you intentionally using unstable development versions (MediaWiki 1.35)? How did you download Parsoid and which exact version/branch? Malyacko (talk) 13:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Malyacko,

I'm using the latest version of wikipedia because the visual editor wouldn't work with version 1.34

I'm using parsoid version 0.11 and I used sudo apt install parsoid to install it Pfsmit89 (talk) 13:21, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

@Pfsmit89 The VisualEditor 1.34 branch should work with MediaWiki 1.34. If you used "sudo apt install parsoid" then you maybe got some old package that your distribution created at some point (we don't know as you don't mention your distribution version). I don't understand why you'd install some recent stuff manually from the vendor and then mix it with some old stuff installed via apt-get from your distribution - this asks for problems. Malyacko (talk) 06:44, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay I uninstalled everything. Installed mediawiki version 1.34 and followed all the steps in this video.

Hello Malyacko,

Well I managed to install TinyMCE just now but I'd rather have the visual editor if possible.

Tag extension only in specific namespace

I have a tag extension that gives an alternative rendering of <gallery>. However, I want this extension to run only in a specific namespace, galleries in other namespaces should render normally.

I have tried checking the namespace in the event handler called by the hook registered on extension.json (ParserFirstCallInit), using something like $title = $parser->getTitle(); and checking the title for the namespace (seems $title is returned as a string at this level, therefore getNamespace() throws an error here). If this is the correct namespace, then $parser->setHook( 'gallery', [ self::class, 'zoomableimageRender'] ); , which is the callback that does the rendering I want to do, else do nothing. However, it seems this function is called many times on page load, and if there is a single time when there is no $title, it goes to else and nothing happens at all.

I have tried doing the check at the callback level, here $parser->getTitle()->getNamespace() works as expected. However, if I do the check here and it's not the right namespace and do nothing, I get ?'"`UNIQ--gallery-00000000-QINU`"'?, which I presume means the parser doesn't know what to do.

1. Is there a way to give rendering back to the parser from the callback so it renders the <gallery> normally?

2. Is there any way to make it work at the event handler level using the ParserFirstCallInit or is there a better hook for this?

Thanks! Meeerkat507 (talk) 18:16, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Does this help? QINU_fix - I've not read it so maybe not.

For "do nothing" in the callback function would it work to just return recursiveTagParse($input);? Jonathan3 (talk) 21:43, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

ParserFirstCallInit is called only once even when parsing multiple pages in possibly different namespaces.

In your parser callback you could call whatever it is in CoreParserHooks (prob CoreParserHooks::gallery or something like that) if you are in wrong namespace. Bawolff (talk) 07:02, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Solved it with

$parser-> renderImageGallery( $input , false);

recursiveTagParse would just output the list of files.

So the full code is:

static function myExtRender( $input, array $args, Parser $parser, PPFrame $frame ) {
        $title = $parser->getTitle();
        $ns = $title->getNamespace();
        if ($ns === NS_MYNAMESPACE){
                //Alternative render of gallery
        } else {
                $input = $parser-> renderImageGallery( $input , false);
                return $input;
		}
}

I'm using the Tweeki skin. Apparently ParserFirstCallInit is being called once per navbar, sidebar, etc. Or so it seems. Meeerkat507 (talk) 22:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Ok, correction to the above: Gallery should be rendered with

$input = $parser-> renderImageGallery( $input , $args);

In order to pass on the gallery arguments, otherwise you will always get a default gallery style. Meeerkat507 (talk) 15:01, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

How to use Cite extension in RTL projects?

I want to implement a footnote creation mechanism similar to the one implemented in Hebrew Wikipedia in my own MediaWiki 1.34.0 based website (which is a personal and non communal website).

But,

According to my understanding, the footnote creation mechanism implemented in Hebrew Wikipedia includes the usage of at least five very complicated templates which require installing an external extension Scribunto:

template:footnote | תבנית:הערה

template:margin footnotes | תבנית:הערות שוליים

template:documentation | תבנית:תיעוד

template:parameter management | תבנית:ניהול פרמטרים

template:parameter management/content | תבנית:ניהול פרמטרים/תוכן

Contemplating these templates:

Even if I totally strip out all <templatedata> and [[category:]] ([[קטגוריה:]]) mambo jambo, I am still left with five templates which I personally find too many, too complex, too dense and too confusing and too hard to maintain;

There is no "Hebrew Wikipedia staff". You could however ask the community on Hebrew Wikipedia if you want to find out... Malyacko (talk) 14:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I have tried to ask there in the past and didn't answers I recognized as clear.

because they thought it made things easier and allowed for more consistent formatting. Bawolff (talk) 15:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

What goes in other RTL Wikis,

@AhmadF.Cheema perhaps you can opinion about Arabic Wikis or if the methodology of Hebrew Wikipedia might be outdated. 49.230.1.137 (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Apologies, but I haven't done any work on Arabic Wikipedia to be able to comment on this.🤔 AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 18:19, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bawolff following your above advice I checked the Cite documentation you linked to;

I didn't find the term "RTL" in that page or in any of its linked pages. 49.230.1.137 (talk) 15:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

it works the same way as ltr languages. Bawolff (talk) 15:53, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bawolff I'm not sure that that statement is accurate, for example,

If instead <ref> tags one wants {{הערה|תוכן}} to which a plausible translation is {{footnote|CONTENT}}, let along {{footnote|name="xyz"|CONTENT}}, one needs, a significantly configurated Cite extension and possibly also Scribunto extension (if I'm not wrong the | notes require Lua/Scribunto to be parsed).

Using {{הערה|תוכן}} is a comfortable way to make footnotes with RTL languages were <ref> tags would get jumbled in RTL mode.

Thoughts? 49.230.1.137 (talk) 16:48, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

you can either use defaults and be ok with bidi issues, make your own template that's a simple version (e.g. create a template page of your choice of name containing {{#tag:ref|{{{1}}}}}), or use the prebuilt one. Bawolff (talk) 02:23, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bawolff I am not okay with these issues :)

{{#tag:ref|{{{1}}}}} requires Scribunto doesn't it? And anyway this example isn't very clear to me; is there a guide you recommend others and myself to read to understand this code structure?

I don't know what you meant by "prebuilt one".

Kindly, 49.230.1.137 (talk) 04:50, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the complicated templates and modules, it should be pointed out that probably most of the times the authors of those templates wouldn't be active in answering questions or they might even have forgotten their reasoning for a particular portion of the code. Furthermore, it would take a long time to explain everything. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that you would get a detailed explanation for those templates and modules.

For the most part, there is going to be a good reason for the added complications, and most users and MediaWiki admins don't need to worry about those reasons.

To include the Cite functionality, most admins just need to enable the Cite and Scribunto extensions, and export the relevant templates (using מיוחד:ייצוא with לכלול תבניות checked) into their MediaWiki installation. There shouldn't be any need to further configure the Cite and Scribunto extensions.

You should look at how the Hebrew Wikipedia calls or makes use of their citation templates and try to mirror it. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 18:19, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@AhmadF.Cheema thanks ; but, in general I like to understand codes I work with and in this case I fell I shouldn't make an exception.

I think that a simpler option would be to work with JavaScript but this could bring all sorts of browser and SEO issues.

So, I wonder:

If all I need is

{{שם|תוכן="xyz"|הערה}}

Which in LTR would be:

{{footnote|name="xyz"|CONTENT}}

Can I indeed work only with two templates with Cite and Scribunto or must I work with all five templates of Hebrew WIkipedia (say, by exporting them to my Wiki)? 49.230.1.137 (talk) 04:56, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@MarkAHershberger by something "really really simple" do you encapsulate a "Cite only" ("core only") approach or whould you say that if I want something such as:

{{שם|תוכן="xyz"|הערה}}

(LTR example):

{{footnote|name="xyz"|CONTENT}}

I have no choice but to use Scribunto? 182.232.53.70 (talk) 13:41, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't know what your needs are. Why not just use Cite? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 14:55, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@MarkAHershberger My need in that context is to create a footnote creation mechanism which also allows naming certain footnotes so I could call footnotes which I have already created and also named instead making a full clone of each such footnote I have already created (that is, having the same footnote two or more times in the same article, instead just one and call it in many different place).

Side note

Because, in RTL edit mode, <ref> tags (or any other set of tags) gets jumbled with RTL text, than I need to create them via a footnote template call such as as {{שם|תוכן="xyz"|הערה}}

The above footnote template call is very much equivalent to this LTR version:

{{footnote|name="xyz"|CONTENT}}

Of course, this LTR version is redundant in LTR websites where you can just have <ref name="xyz"> without having RTL text jumbling up with these <ref> tags.

Summary

So this is all my need in that context --- just to have a simple footnote creation mechanism which allows naming and most preferably core only (i.e, without installing Scribunto, although I would install it if I have to). 182.232.61.249 (talk) 15:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@MarkAHershberger ? 49.230.134.110 (talk) 05:22, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

So, since

• cite allows you to have named footnotes and
• a template wrapper like {{שם|תוכן="xyz"|הערה}} would handle any RTL issue

it seems like you just need to use cite and write a simple wrapper template.

What am I missing? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 13:33, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

@MarkAHershberger I think it's primarily I who misses something.

What I miss is how to create a template that creates named <ref> tags (based on Cite) in RTL MediaWiki websites.

Template calls should look like this:

{{הערה|שם="שם"|תוכן}} (first call)

{{הערה|שם="שם"}} (secondary calls) 182.232.31.33 (talk) 12:15, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Check out the Ref and Note

templates on SimpleWiki. They don't use Scribunto or Cite. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:32, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

@MarkAHershberger at the start of both linked pages it was written:

Using ref/note tags is not the only way to do footnotes.

I have become confused from that sentence alone --- if I want to create named footnotes, should I always use both these prebuilt templates, or, say, for the simplest scenario, should I use just one of these, and if so, which one? 182.232.172.66 (talk) 07:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Furthermore, when I go there (Simple Wiki) to template:reflist, I get a much more complicated list:

182.232.165.170 (talk) 01:59, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Oh and one more thing @MarkAHershberger it seems to me that in Simple-English Wikipedia the reflist template does utilize Scribunto (which is something I want to avoid).

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Reflist 182.232.165.170 (talk) 02:56, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't know what to tell you. Go back a few years in history on reflist and get the pre-Scribunto version? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 22:50, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

I understand from the earliest history:

https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%AA%D7%91%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%AA:%D7%94%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%94/%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%93&dir=prev&action=history

The first version and the second version both don't utilize Cite but the third version since utilize both Cite and Scribunto due to #tag:ref command at <includeonly>{{#tag:ref|{{{1}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>.

I don't know how to check in Arabic, Aramaic, etc. 182.232.176.239 (talk) 11:45, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Either way, I was most likely wrong in my first claim here that Hebrew WIkipedia has six (essential) templates for footnotes; there are most probably three and one parameter page ("unit"):

template:footnote | תבנית:הערה

template:footnote/code

template:margin footnotes | תבנית:הערות שוליים

unit:parameters

As a non Lua programmer, I find it disturbing to expect anyone who wants named RTL footnotes to become a Lua programmer. 182.232.176.239 (talk) 12:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

@MarkAHershberger based on my two replies above and if it is okay please share with us:

If you install an RTL MediaWiki and you want to have named footnotes AND a footnotes chapter which are core-only and Cite-only based, so that you could call existing template-calls by name in the same page, how will you achieve that? 182.232.176.239 (talk) 15:56, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't know what to tell you. This is not something I have done or know how to do. I can only suggest that other people here would have to help you out. That, or you could learn Lua.

For what its worth, I have only a cursory familiarity with Lua, but I haven't experienced any problem just using Scribunto code as is. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:57, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't want to learn Lua or work with Scribunto if I don't have to - i.e for the sake of creating named & RTLized references.

Perhaps @AhmadF.Cheema had experience with this and would like to share with us his solution:

Ahmad, if you install an RTL MediaWiki and you want to have named footnotes AND a footnotes chapter which are core-only and Cite-onlybased, so that you could call existing template-calls by name in the same page, how will you achieve that? 182.232.40.56 (talk) 03:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, no experience with this.🙁 AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 09:22, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Community members, please tag someone who can help with this, 182.232.40.56 (talk) 02:29, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Milestone !

I use this template to create a footnotes chapter:

<includeonly><references /></includeonly><noinclude>

[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

I use this template to create each footnote:

<includeonly><ref>{{{1}}}</ref></includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

Now I do get numbered, clickable footnotes created in each webpage that contains footnotes, but, all my footnotes in each webpage look like this:

1. ↑ {{{1}}}
2. ↑ {{{1}}}
3. ↑ {{{1}}}
4. ↑ {{{1}}}
5. ↑ {{{1}}}

While I understand that the up-arrows are prebuilt and give the option to go back to the footnote number, I ask:

Why does is my footnote text doesn't appear at the footnotes chapter and instead I get {{{1}}} (nor it appears when hovering the number)? 182.232.40.56 (talk) 05:43, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

What is your "footnote text" exactly? The text between the <ref></ref> tags is supposed to be the footnote text, and in this example isn't it always {{{1}}}?

What exact code are you using to call the template in your article page? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 08:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@AhmadF.Cheema my "footnote text" is any text given inside each template-call; for example:

{{הערה|תוכן}}

Where "תוכן" ("content") is any text given inside each template-call. 182.232.40.56 (talk) 09:23, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Right, got it now. The {{{1}}} variables inside <ref></ref> tags can't work like this.

You'll have to use the following:

<includeonly>{{#tag:ref|{{{1}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 09:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Finally ! Thanks to you @AhmadF.Cheema I can (backendly) create back and forth linked footnotes.

The only thing I miss now is naming footnotes so to call them by name instead re-creating them two or more times per article, and I want to do so without Lua/Scribunto.

While I think that the current topic should be marked as solved, I have started the following topic (which is in need of being updated with your code example), to understand if I can indeed name footnotes and calling them by name without Lua/Scribunto:

[[Project:Support desk/Flow/2020/04#h-How_to_give_</includeonly>

So, to create a footnote I type:

{{הערה|תוכן}}

But I want to use something like:

{{הערה|שם|תוכן}}

While שם stands for name (HTML attribute);

How to give <ref> a name when called through a template, but without Lua/Scribunto? 182.232.40.56 (talk) 04:22, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

The second template should be:

<includeonly>{{#tag:ref|{{{1}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

182.232.40.56 (talk) 13:23, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

See Help:Reftags#Defining a reftag function. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 14:53, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@AhmadF.Cheema I have read there cautiously but I didn't find any explanation about how to make name at:

<includeonly>{{#tag:ref|{{{1}}}|name="name"}}</includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

To be equal with שם in template call, so that, instead:

{{הערה|תוכן|name="שם"}}

I could call the template this way:

{{הערה|שם="שם"|תוכן|}}

So maybe a more accurate version of my question is:

How to give <ref> a name in a non-English language when called through a template, but without Lua/Scribunto? 182.232.44.48 (talk) 20:36, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Crap, I had to write there:

<includeonly>{{#tag:ref|{{{1}}}|name}}</includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

I think. 182.232.44.48 (talk) 04:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

The template should be:

<includeonly>{{#tag:ref|{{{1}}}|name={{{2}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

Then it should be called in the article as: {{Template_name|foo|bar}}, where foo is the reference text and bar is the name of the reference. The reference can then be reused with the following code: <ref name=bar/> AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 09:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

I was told by Hebrew Wikipedia users that there could be a problem if my template includes text which by itself includes = symbol and I was recommended to use:

{{#tag:ref
    | 1 = {{{תוכן|}}}
    | name = {{{שם|}}}
}}

49.230.0.242 (talk) 03:35, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

But, that example doesn't work (or I have to change all template calls for it to work). 49.230.0.242 (talk) 03:52, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

This way the template should be called in the article as: {{Template_name|תוכן=foo|שם=bar}}. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 04:31, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

When calling that template with:

{{הערה|שם="שם"|תוכן="תוכן"}}

I get this Hebrew error:

שגיאת ציטוט: תג <ref> לא תקין; שמות שגויים, למשל, רבים מדי 49.230.0.242 (talk) 15:11, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

I get the same error with these calls also:

{{הערה|תוכן}}
{{הערה|תוכן="תוכן"}}

49.230.0.242 (talk) 17:51, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

@AhmadF.Cheema I think I should use your original template like this:

<includeonly>{{#tag:ref|name|{{{1}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>
[[קטגוריה:תבניות]]
</noinclude>

And, in cases that the CONTENT includes one equal sign or two or more equal signs, than I should input these not as mere text but via a {{=}} template whose value is = and then use that template as in:

{{ Test | R {{=}} 3/(2-(1+1)) }}

This is a solution I found in a quick search in StackOverflow at "Passing an equal sign ('=') to a parameter in a MediaWiki template".

But:

I am still in problem how to use "שם="שם instead name="name" so to get an all Hebrew (all RTL) template.

Sorry if I missed anything; this is tough and confusing to me. 49.230.0.242 (talk) 18:02, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Template within template to provide parameter name as well as value

I have templates {{convention | files={{fancy}}}} which I would rather write as {{convention | {{fancy}}}} where the fancy template provides the argument name as well as the value, but this does not evaluate. I looked at the Advanced Templates documentation, but this does not seem to cover my case. Vicarage (talk) 07:51, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Vicarage Did you see Templates_passed_as_parameters yet? It seems closest to your use case. SrishAkaTux (talk) 23:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I hadn't, but on inspection it doesn't help with the readability which is my main aim here. Vicarage (talk) 09:13, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

probably using lua (extension:Scribunto) is the easiest way to do complex template stuff. Bawolff (talk) 18:00, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Template using input

Dear all,
I would like to display an inputbox where the users are supposed to enter a pagename and then the respective page will be purged.
So far I made a template:purge like this:

[http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php?title={{{1}}}&action=purge purge page {{{1}}}?].

As far as I can see, Extension:Inputbox is restricted to certain functions. How can I let the input be the argument of the template?
Thank you in advance.
Yours, Ciciban (talk) 07:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

The actions and special pages where Inputbox redirects are hardcoded. So it's not possible. You should continue using your template. You can see more styles from English Wikipedia's w:Template:Purge_Pages. (Just note these were mostly rebuilt in Lua) but they all do the same thing. – Ammarpad (talk) 15:38, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

If you can make the inputbox and button with using normal HTML and Javascript you could put it on your wiki page using Extension:Widgets. Jonathan3 (talk) 22:00, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

How to change Cite extension up-arrows to some other symbol (say, carets)?

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.

Cite extension creates footnote numbers which are clickable - clicking these leads to a footnote in the references chapter and before each footnote appears to me an up-arrow which is also clickable - clicking it leads the user back to the footnote number.

Rather than up-arrows, I prefer a smaller symbol (say, caret)

How to change Cite extension up-arrows () to some other symbol (say, carets)? 182.232.40.56 (talk) 13:27, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I found these at Help:Cite:

Help:Cite#Set references to use ^ and letters 182.232.40.56 (talk) 13:28, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I admit the manual isn't very clear to me, it says to change it from System_message but when I go there I find:

cite_references_link_accessibility_back_label	קפיצה חזרה למעלה
cite_references_link_accessibility_label	לקפוץ מעלה

No arrow appear near these (which translated from Hebrew mean "jump back up" and "jump up" respectively). 182.232.40.56 (talk) 13:34, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi! You need to edit MediaWiki:Cite references link one and MediaWiki:Cite references link many on your local wiki. Taavi (talk!) 13:40, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Majavah hello and thanks !

When I went to either:

• MY_DOMAIN/MediaWiki:Cite_references_link_one
• MY_DOMAIN/MediaWiki:Cite_references_link_many

I got a page not found - 404

But, the symbols DID appear to me at:

• מדיה_ויקי:Cite_references_link_many&action=edit
• מדיה_ויקי:Cite_references_link_many&action=edit

מדיה_ויקי stands for "MediaWiki:" in English.

After I have edited the two webpages accordingly, I got the desired change.
