Collection extension not working with external URL
We have several wikis which are accessible via an internal and an external URL. On each wiki we have the Collection extension running with weasyprint for PDF rendering. PDF rendering works flawlessly with the internal URL. It does not work with the external URL, however. So I called the weasyprint python scrip via the shell and gave it the external URL as parameter. Weasyprint then replied with a 401 error (Not authorized). Is this an error with the apache configuration? How do I configure apache correctly that PDF rendering via the external URL works? Ablum010777 (talk) 14:31, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- That sounds like a Weasyprint configuration question, whatever "Weasyprint" is? Malyacko (talk) 07:30, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Weasyprint is the Python module that actually generates the pdf files. Ablum010777 (talk) 12:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
How to do Raw Export?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
My old wiki broke, prolly due to auto-upgrades.
Unfortunately, attempts to import my .sql fail. I tried importing to fresh installs of both new and older versions of mw.
So, my plan now is to rebuild the whole wiki from scratch.
i installed the latest mw and all extensions. No errors.
Now i need to manually rebuild all pages, categories, and other assets.
How can i get a simple text export of all pages, categories, and other assets, for manual copy/paste into the new wiki? Johnywhy (talk) 20:01, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Solution:
- Pages
- Use dumpBackup.php to get page content. i used `--current` switch, to get just the latest version of each page.
- Manual:DumpBackup.php
- That outputs xml.
- Then, for easy copy/pasting, convert to .csv or Excel format
- https://onlinexmltools.com/convert-xml-to-csv
- Then open in Excel or a .csv viewer. I found Google sheets works well.
- https://www.becsv.com/csv-viewer.php
- Fields of interest:
page__titlepage__revision__text__#Textpage__revision__parentidpage__id- I believe subpages are identified by slashes in the page-title.
- Categories
- Do sql export of categorylinks table to get the categories (or just view the table in phpMyAdmin).
- Namespaces
- Namespaces are embedded in the page titles.
- i'll leave this topic open for a little while, in case anyone wants to add info about other tables. Johnywhy (talk) 00:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- i would suggest instead figuring out why your sql dump backup failed (whats the error?). Thats probably going to be easier in the end.
- You can do an xml backup, and reimport with importDump.php and then run rebuildAll.php, but may loose user data.
- I dont know why you are trying to convert to csv/spreadsheet, but that's not an approach i would reccomend and sounds much harder.
- P.s. namespaces are not embedded in page titles in the db. They are stored separately as a number. Bawolff (talk) 03:47, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Import Results
- Wow, the importDump.php actually worked. I can see there are some issues, but wow. Somehow, when i reviewed the MW manuals for moving and upgrading a wiki, i didn't notice any mention of importDump. I'd like to suggest importDump.php be mentioned on those pages, as another option when nothing else works (my sql imports failed).
- Manual:Upgrading
- Manual:Moving a wiki
- Rebuilding
- On completion, importDump suggests rebuildrecentchanges.php . You suggested rebuildAll.php. i'm not clear on the difference. Note, my dump includes only the latest versions of each page.
- https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/rebuildall_8php.html
- https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/rebuildrecentchanges_8php.html
- Oh, here it is:
- RebuildAll.php is equivalent to running rebuildtextindex.php followed by rebuildrecentchanges.php, and finally followed by refreshLinks.php.
- Manual:Rebuildall.php#Details Johnywhy (talk) 05:34, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- i'm guessing the fail might be due to use of a lot of extensions, which may work differently in 1.35 than they did in 1.31.
- i don't care about user-data, just content and structure: pages, categories, namespaces, etc.
- i'll try your suggested scripts. Johnywhy (talk) 04:20, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Many thanks, @Bawolff, you made my life easier! Saved me a ton of time and effort. Johnywhy (talk) 05:55, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

What give newline on backslash-n?
i'm rebuilding a broken wiki. The mw version was from 2019, so prolly 1.31.
i'm manually recreated my pages in 1.35, with same extensions.
In my dumpBackup.php i see a bunch of `\n` which are intended to render as newline.
But the newlines aren't rendering.
i'm guessing it was done with an extension, but not sure. Could be ParserFunctions.

WikiEditor Johnywhy (talk) 03:03, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- probably not an extension.
- \n is c-style escape for newline. The components in mediawiki that use this style are PHP, javascript, json and sql. Notably xml does not use this style which is the format dumps are in, so normally i wouldnt expect that in an xml dump except in cases with a custom content model.
- You may want to post a short example of the dump file. Bawolff (talk) 03:42, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- reading your earlier post, there is a definite possibility than the \n was introduced during one of your conversion to spreadsheet steps. Bawolff (talk) 03:49, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Indeed. Here's a snippet of raw dump:
<text bytes="63" xml:space="preserve">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents [[Category:Help]]</text>- Here's the same after conversion to csv:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents\n\n[[Category:Help]]- i could do a global replace in the csv, but i think would be better to change the converter parameters, if possible.
- And here it is. This converter preserves newlines without substitution, and offers a bunch more options.
- https://www.convertcsv.com/xml-to-csv.htm Johnywhy (talk) 04:07, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- New Issue:
- Strangely, copy/paste from Google Sheet to MediaWiki page gives double-quotes around the entire body-text, even tho there are no visible quotes on the Google Sheet. Johnywhy (talk) 04:52, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
How to list all pages, all namespaces?
It seems Special:AllPages can only show one namespace at a time. Johnywhy (talk) 06:49, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- you would have to use an extension like DPL i think Bawolff (talk) 04:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
How to add a url parameter to an internal wiki-link in sidebar?
For example (this doesn't work):
Special:Search&profile=advanced
as in
https://mywiki.xyz/index.php?title=Special:Search&profile=advanced Johnywhy (talk) 07:12, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- does manual:sidebar help? You may have to use full urls starting with https:// Bawolff (talk) 17:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- i read the doc, but i don't see a way to add parameters, other than full url, as you mentioned. I was concerned a full url would open in a separate window, because i have the following in LocalSettings.php
$wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';- Is override possible? i just discovered, i asked about overrides three years ago. (Sorry, i'm rebuilding this wiki after not touching it since then.)
- Project:Support desk/Flow/2018/05#h-How_to_override_$wgExternalLinkTarget_=_'_blank'_?-2018-05-04T12:50:00.000Z
- Ok, now i see why i have the HTMLTags extension! Here's how i made it safe:
require_once "$IP/extensions/HTMLTags/HTMLTags.php";$wgHTMLTagsAttributes['a'] = array( 'href');- But if i want ability to change target, then i think it needs to be
$wgHTMLTagsAttributes['a'] = array( 'href', 'target');- Correct? i'll try it.
- Update: This doesn't work:
<a href='https://mywiki.xyz/index.php?title=Special:Search&profile=advanced' target='_self' />|Search PagesJohnywhy (talk) 18:08, 3 February 2021 (UTC)- i dont think you can do that in core very easily unless you remove the target _blank thing generally.
- Some options include:
- new extension that creates a rediret special page so you can use an internal link
- using custom interwiki that includes that url parameter
- custom sidebar extension
- using js to modify the link Bawolff (talk) 04:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Would like to do this globally, including pages already subscribed to. Johnywhy (talk) 08:28, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Missing input-field on Special:MovePage in mediawiki 1.35.1
On the Special:MovePage, the input field is missing from the form in my 1.35.1 install. I cannot move pages unless I add the missing input tag inline in the html before submitting. The <input statement in the html is missing completely. The reason-input field (wpReason) is there, and is editable, bit not the wpNewTitle.
Workaround: Using DevTools in chrome, I can manually edit the HTML, copy the wpReason-input tag to wpNewTitle-div, and give the new tag name wpNewTitle. Returning to page, the field is now visible and editable, and the form submittable doing a move for the page in question. Smultring76 (talk) 08:36, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

- You don't explain what is actually blocking you from editing, which exact steps you perform, what exactly you see, and we don't know what "comments on the page" means exactly. A link to the web page that you want to edit would also help (if it is public). Malyacko (talk) 14:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- the autogenerated parts of the image page are controlled by pages that start with MediaWiki:. See specisl:allmessages for a list. You can also try adding ?uselang=qqx or &uselang=qqx (depending if the url already has a ? In it) to see which part of the page is controlled by which mediawiki nsmespace page.

I've recently moved a wiki on 1.33 to a Linode instance (visible temporarily sans-https here while I investigate this issue: http://codex.ragnarokraven.net/rtw/index.php/Main_Page ), however I've run into a strange issue: Special:SpecialPages either gives me an internal error, or, if I remove the file I added to get it to do this, HTTP 500.
The HTTP 500 seems to point at the include for Special:FewestRevisions (/include/specials/SpecialFewestrevisions.php) being the culprit, but creating a duplicate of the real file (that has Revisions properly capitalised) simply leads to an internal error on MediaWiki with no further information.
Any ideas? 142.162.230.68 (talk) 18:24, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- sounds a bit like you might have a mix of files from multiple versions of mediawiki. Please make sure you only have a single version.
- Also be sure to enable php error reporting and include the text of the error message. See How to debug Bawolff (talk) 03:50, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Restoration from backup
I'm unfamiliar with MediaWiki, so forgive me if the answer is obvious, but I want to make sure of something. When it comes to restoring a wiki from a backup, the database and the wiki content are separate and must be backed up and restored separately, correct? 47.199.160.137 (talk) 21:22, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Not quite: the database contains the wiki content, or at least the text parts of it (and other stuff). The data outside the database is the uploaded files, and yes this must be backed up and restored separately (in a default installation, it's the
images/directory). See backing up a wiki for more info. Sam Wilson 02:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Why does WikiSysOp and Admins have fewer rights than Users?
In Special:UserGroups, WikiSysOp and Administrators have only one permission (if that's what the checkboxes mean):
"Be notified via email about newly approved account requests"
Users and bots, on the other hand, seem to have many more rights.
No one, it seems, has ALL rights.
i'm confused. Why don't WikiSysOp and Admins have all rights? Johnywhy (talk) 21:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- you can set up rights however you want (the groups you mentioned dont sound standard). Generally speaking if someone is an admin, they are both an admin and a user, so no need to duplicate.
- See also special:listgrouprights Bawolff (talk) 03:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- "the groups you mentioned dont sound standard"
- Which? WikiSysOp and Administrators aren't standard? Johnywhy (talk) 14:14, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- there is a default group called sysop (often displayed as Administrator). I have never heard of WikiSysOp. It sounds like something custom in your install. Bawolff (talk) 05:49, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thx. WikiSysOp must have come from Softaculous.
- I'm still confused why Administrators don't have full rights. Johnywhy (talk) 21:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- You better should ask the owner of the wiki you're talking about. We CAN'T answer because we don't know why the wiki owner did configure the user rights that way. Tim (SVG) 02:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- @SVG i am the owner of the wiki i'm talking about. i am trying to understand how the permissions work. Johnywhy (talk) 18:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Last-Modified headers without object cache
I'm setting up a new MediaWiki (my first time). I've tried it on two hosts, one uses Nginx, the other Apache with php-fgp. On the nginx host, the If-Modified-Since/Last-Modified headers are working fine, but on the Apache host, the server always sends Last-Modified with the current date for index.php, so the cache is never used. This only happens for index.php - requests to load.php and static resources are being cached fine. Is there an obvious setting I'm missing? Adam Millerchip (talk) 02:53, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- I wonder if this could be related to the
$wgMainCacheTypesetting? The nginx server is usingCACHE_ACCEL, but the apache server doesn't have a a cache available so is set toCACHE_NONE. I guess if it's using the cache to determine thelast-modifieddate, that would be why. It's just a guess, though. Adam Millerchip (talk) 12:19, 4 February 2021 (UTC) - It was the cache - nothing to do with the web server. I enabled APCu, set
CACHE_ACCEL, and now it's working. Adam Millerchip (talk) 15:35, 4 February 2021 (UTC) - ...Well APCu isn't installed. So that was wrong. 🤷♂️ Adam Millerchip (talk) 16:39, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- i dont think its based on cache. Should be based on the page_touched db field (along with other factors, including the mtime of LocalSettings.php and some other cache checks.)
- You could try enabling mediawiki debug log (see How to debug) see of it says anything useful. Bit of a long shot. Bawolff (talk) 05:47, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for that - it gave me an idea of somewhere to look.
- I'm seeing on the version that doesn't use the cache that it gets a cache miss for the user, looks the user up, and then doesn't use the cache due to something do to with the user? The page last modified is definitely before the If-Modified-Since value.
- The other system doesn't get a cache miss, there is no log about looking up the user.
- No cache version
User: cache miss for user 1 ... OutputPage::checkLastModified: client sent If-Modified-Since: 2021-02-05T15:07:24Z OutputPage::checkLastModified: effective Last-Modified: 2021-02-05T15:10:56Z OutputPage::checkLastModified: STALE, page=2021-02-02T16:43:22Z, user=2021-02-05T15:10:56Z, epoch=2021-02-05T15:02:02Z
- Cache version
OutputPage::checkLastModified: client sent If-Modified-Since: 2021-02-05T15:16:22Z OutputPage::checkLastModified: effective Last-Modified: 2021-02-05T15:16:22Z OutputPage::checkLastModified: NOT MODIFIED, page=2021-02-04T10:55:25Z, user=2021-02-05T15:05:57Z, epoch=2021-02-05T15:16:22Z
- The investigation continues... Adam Millerchip (talk) 15:37, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- When pages are viewed by users, they're not cached AFAIK, because there may be changes not related to the content itself. For example, a user visits page A, then goes to Special:Preferences, and changes language, skin or other setting that would affect viewing the page. Then, if the user returns to view page A again, it should not get it from the cache. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:15, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, that makes sense. But it doesn't explain why the pages are cached on the nginx server, even for logged in users. Adam Millerchip (talk) 23:52, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Comparing the logs in more detail.
- The main difference seems to be that the version with APCu available is using that for caching, instead of the database or no cache:
[session] SessionManager using store APCUBagOStuff- vs
[session] SessionManager using store SqlBagOStuff[objectcache] MainWANObjectCache using store EmptyBagOStuff- When then causes this to happen, only on the non-APCu host:
[objectcache] fetchOrRegenerate(global:user:id:blah:1): miss, new value computed- So maybe this "new value computed" is the problem. The only thing I can think of is that the object cache is using
EmptyBagOStuff, and somehow generating the current time for the user'smQuickTouched. I checked the database, and the actual touched date has not changed. 🤨 - c.f. https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/3a39e433d8db95286cce318a58b31569cf6939ca/includes/user/User.php#L2316-L2339
- I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it looks like there's nothing I can do about it, so I'm giving up for now. Adam Millerchip (talk) 08:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Spoke too soon. I commented out this line and now it's using the browser cache. Adam Millerchip (talk) 08:57, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

CODE TRANSLATE
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but would it be possible to add a MediaWiki extension that will automatically replace instances of <code> with <code translate="no">, and render the TRANSLATE attribute for the displayed HTML?
There is still an ongoing bug in MediaWiki that prevents rendering the TRANSLATE attribute to HTML, but having translate="no" on CODE elements is important, since automatic translation of computer code into a different human language could introduce serious errors if the code is altered and then copied. Having an extension to automatically insert and render the TRANSLATE attribute specifically for CODE elements (which should never be translated) would be really helpful. For example, writing "CODE element" would have the word "code" translated, but writing "code element" would not translate the word "code."
Nicole Sharp (talk) 05:17, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you to make us aware of this issue.
- Our bug tracking and feature request system opened an issue in 2017 to solve this: phab:T161486
- There is another item definitely not supposed to be translatable, even if content may be rather English and some human language involved:
<syntaxhighlight>I think that one deserves this attribute always.
Ah, and it is not really a bug but a feature. For security reasons we disallow all attributes as long we do not permit usage. PerfektesChaos (talk) 08:24, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- For syntaxhighlight I have created a request phab:T273873 now. PerfektesChaos (talk) 12:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, and I guess I have seen you in that task editing in 2018. Well, if it is in Phabricator already it does not accelerate anything by a support desk question. PerfektesChaos (talk) 13:28, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- It would be good for MediaWiki to recognize the TRANSLATE attribute for general use, but my original question was whether this could be solved with a MediaWiki Extension instead. Specifically to dynamically add and display the TRANSLATE attribute for certain elements. Nicole Sharp (talk) 07:07, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- If you attempt to catch all HTML elements this seems to be a real challenge.
- If you want to catch
<code>then you might succeed with your private extension. - You need to inform the parser that your extension will deal with all <code> elements. Then you will receive the attributes and the current content of the element.
- There is a similar case with
<pre>which looks like an HTML element but is caught by MediaWiki. - The element is cut off the parsed text (“striped”), and the outcome of your extension will be inserted finally at the same position. This would bypass the element consumption by the parser, which will swallow all unknown attributes like
translate=. - Please note that you are responsible to parse the element content. Meaningful italic or bold markup might occur, and any other Wikisyntax is permitted inside, like template transclusion. You need to preserve permitted attributes and ask to parse the content. The
<pre>element is not doing this, which has the effect that it behaves like<nowiki>around contents. - I am not sure about the sequence the original code is processed by the parser, and parser might change over time and order is not necessarily stable. I guess the tag detection will happen quite early, and you get byte by byte the original wikitext code.
- In general, the correct solution is to tell our parser that translate is no malicious attack wrt all HTML elements. An extension is a huge overhead to bypass phab:T161486 and open another maintenance issue which would leave a second open task. However, a special tag handler could ensure that
<code>is never subject to translation.
- If you want to catch
- Another issue: Why is translation trying to translate inside
<code>? It would be better if translation software refrains from all those things on all HTML pages, not only generated by MediaWiki. PerfektesChaos (talk) 14:53, 7 February 2021 (UTC) - Yes, a smart machine translator should be ignoring text inside CODE elements to translate. I haven't tested this with every web translator though, and it's still better to explicitly tell the machine translator not to translate certain elements. For me personally, assuming that MediaWiki does eventually recognize the TRANSLATE attribute, a find-and-replace extension would save keystrokes by not needing to manually type
translate="no"every time I type<code>. Nicole Sharp (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
MYSQL 8.0.23 is Compatible with Mediawiki 1.35.0

CirrusSearch : Problem with french accent
Hello,
Content of multimedia text (pdf) are displayed with malformed french accent, in the extract below of search results (Multimedia link). French accent is correct in all site but not in the plain text content in elasticsearch.
Regards. Francois187 (talk) 09:10, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, which MediaWiki version do you use? Is this a public installation that you could link to? Malyacko (talk) 10:17, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello,
- Sorry, I use 1.35 version, it's private intallation. I think accents are incorrect in elasticsearch just for pdf contents orher searchs are ok.
- Regards Francois187 (talk) 13:07, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- is the text layer of the pdf in question correct? E.g. if you use pdftotext commandline tool, does it do the accents correctly? Bawolff (talk) 05:44, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Unfortunately no example has been given how “malformed french accent” does look like, but I guess it is some encoding like w:en:UTF-8. The snippet displayed below Special:search result entry is displayed as-is in document code, byte by byte, and not translated nor encoded. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 09:09, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello,
- pdftotext give an empty file, I try some -enc parameter (UTF8, Latin1) and result is the same. Francois187 (talk) 09:32, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Could you please describe precisely in which kind of view you did observe what, and submit a few words containing the malformed character? Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 09:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Here an exemple of malformed character
- int�r�t g�n�ral
- The view is the result search, below link to pdf document there is a short text extract from pdf content with keyword found in bold. (for instance Test)
- le Test int�r�t g�n�ral blabla blabla
- Here the URI :
- /index.php?title=Spécial:Recherche&profile=images&search=Test&fulltext=1 Francois187 (talk) 10:21, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- For more details accents are incorrect in file_text field in elasticsearch however characters are correct in source_text field for the same document. file_text is the text extract from pdf. Francois187 (talk) 10:33, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- As I wrote above: This document snippet is displayed as-is in document code, byte by byte, and not translated nor encoded.
- Those byte sequences are not encoded, and PDF content is not wikitext content.
- Meanwhile I wonder how you did manage to access PDF source code via Spécial:Recherche. The PDF source is located in namespace
Media:=-2, while the media description page withinFile:=6is searched by Spécial:Recherche. - See this search. The word
Policiesis not part of media description but part of media source. - I also wonder where you did retrieve
source_textfield andfile_textdata. This is not part of interactive interface/index.php?but might be API:Search via/api.phpor external tool. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 10:46, 5 February 2021 (UTC) - I retrieve source_text and file_text directly inside elasticsearch with curl command. Malformed accent are generating during indexing processus. Francois187 (talk) 10:51, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello,
- Any Suggestions ? 185.24.186.214 (talk) 09:03, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello,
- We solved our problem, we can close. Francois187 (talk) 16:36, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Having had the same problem following the import of my database into a new setup, the following solved it:
$wgShellLocale = "fr_FR.UTF-8"; # or another locale matching your language- Then run the following maintenance script from your install folder:
php maintenance/refreshImageMetadata.php- Then follow again the instructions in CirrusSearch's README to reindex content.
- Optionally, you can accelerate the process by running:

Removing rights in extension.json doesn't seem to be working
I'm wondering whether it's by design (so a feature) or a bug that Group Permissions can't be unset in extension.json. I've been trying to do
"GroupPermissions": {
"*": {
"edit": false,
"createpage": false,
"createtalk": false
},
"user": {
"edit": false,
"createpage": false,
"createtalk": false,
"applychangetags": false
},
}
But this has no effect whatsoever. So I had to resort back to this in LocalSettings.php to make this work:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['createtalk'] = false;
I couldn't find anything about this, whether extensions shouldn't unset permissions or whether this might be a bug? This page doesn't list any examples where a right is set to false either, so again, is that because it's not supposed to work?
I also tried setting the properties above in a function that is called by ExtensionFunction from the extension, with the same result: no change in permissions. The only place where these seem to have any effect is LocalSettings.php. Clausekwis (talk) 21:17, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- its not supposed to work. A true value takes precedence over a false in the event of a conflict.
- If you want to override a true, use $wgRevokePermissions Bawolff (talk) 05:41, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks @Bawolff for your reply. Using
$wgRevokePermissionsis not an option in this case since I don't want to revoke the permission from users who may have multiple roles (may be a member of multiple groups). - Could you please explain, or point me to the section of code to check, why setting the value to
falseinLocalSettings.phpworks, but setting it inextension.json, acallbackorExtensionFunctiondoesn't work? Clausekwis (talk) 11:24, 5 February 2021 (UTC) - There's another point that appears to be illogical or inconsistent to me. On Manual:User_rights and Manual:$wgRevokePermissions, it's said that for
$wgRevokePermissions: Revoking a right with
$wgRevokePermissionstakes precedence over granting it with$wgGroupPermissions. If the right is revoked for even one of the user's groups, they will not have it, regardless of whether it's explicitly permitted by other groups.- Since every user, even someone in the
sysopgroup is a member of theusergroup, it's not logical to me that they would retain (at least on Special:ListGroupRights) a right that has been removed from theusergroup. Clausekwis (talk) 11:58, 5 February 2021 (UTC) - > Since every user, even someone in the sysop group is a member of the user group, it's not logical to me that they would retain (at least on Special:ListGroupRights) a right that has been removed from the user group
- Oh sorry, i thought that's what you wanted. Based on your later comment, setting it false from within a $wgExtensionFunction should mostly work but it depends how the original permission was set in the first place. Bawolff (talk) 17:05, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

- Just FYI not answering your question, but, I did build a skin based off of Oasis, see Skin:Cosmos. Universal Omega (talk) 01:33, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Cosmos is a poor replication of the actual skin, and I have had numerous issues with it as a whole. Jkrosado (talk) 17:20, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- I know that Cosmos exists, but I have abandoned this and instead forking it from Wikia's source code. It uses a lot of Wikia-specific code and many features are not on the skin but as separate extensions, so this may be a hard job for just one person. AtomicMario (talk) 00:27, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- I would like to also not I spent 2 years trying to fork Fandom itself. It was much easier and cleaner to remake it as a skin, I think. Fandoms code base is an utter mess, not to mention the open source version is 1.19, so you'll also have to make it compatible with modern mediawiki if you want to use it on other versions, something it took even Fandom, months to do, and then did not open source it. Universal Omega (talk) 01:24, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
Extension list of links?
I store a lot of pdfs in my google drive and link directly from a page in the mediawiki to the files in my google drive.
Now i want to have a overview of all the links. I know i can use special:linksearch, but it only displays the url, not the name that i put on that link:
example:
if i put "google.drive.xyz" and name it "pdfxy" i will only see "google.drive.xyz" after i search for it with special:linksearch, so i dont know whats behind that link.
Cant find any extensions that will help me with that. Bedtry (talk) 09:00, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- i dont think that exists, you would probably have to creare your own. I dont even think this info is currently tracked in db Bawolff (talk) 21:08, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
enabling upload pdf
I enabled uploading pdf but on that page I get this message. What does it mean? pdf file has problem or a php extension or wikimedia itself?

- Ghostscript 8.71 is very old. Try upgrading to 9x version. – Ammarpad (talk) 17:14, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- This seems related to: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T188122
- So basically, your specific PDF includes some JPX JPEG2000 images inside it and the version of imagemagick+ghostscript on the server doesn't seem to support that. When WMF updated their systems from Debian Jessie to Stretch the problem disappeared. Ghostscript 9.26. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 09:17, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, my computer crashed when XAMPP and my local wiki were on. So i had a problem with mysql that i solved in this way https://stackoverflow.com/a/63080034.
But, when i start my wiki again, it shows this error: "Cannot access the database: Unknown error (127.0.0.1)"
Do you know what can be wrong? Cible30 (talk) 15:54, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- mysql is probably broken or off Bawolff (talk) 18:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- And do you know what can i do to fix it?
- I can try to reinstall XAMPP? Cible30 (talk) 19:16, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- However it isn't off because i turn on in the XAMPP control panel.
- Then if i try to access at the database via phpmyAdmin it works and show me all the tables. If it can be still broken i can try to disinstall and reinstall all XAMPP or only mysql. But will i lose some data? Cible30 (talk) 11:08, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- I tried to disinstall and reinstall XAMPP but now the wiki give this error:
- A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

Mobile users invariably getting "MediaWiki internal error"
MediaWiki 1.35.1, PHP 7.4.11 (litespeed), MySQL 5.6.49-cll-lve; MobileFrontend 2.1.0 (df4735d); http://hora.wiki/
A user reports that when using an Android phone they get an internal error on every page. The first part of the backtrace is reproduced below. It's very similar to a backtrace I received two weeks ago which can be seen in this Support Desk topic. Sadly, nobody responded to that one, and I still have that problem, but now I think this internal error is a separate issue.
The error is "Error from line 157 of .../includes/skins/Skin.php: Cannot use object of type RequestContext as array" and therefore seems related to this (closed) phabricator task. And, indeed, Vector is my default skin and MobileFrontend is installed (version info above). Does this have a simple solution, I hope?
Here's the partial backtrace; you can see more at the other topic linked above.
Thanks for any help.

I did a few searches that suggested the issue was related to a lack of encryption, so I followed the recommendations I saw and enabled the openssl extension in php.ini, but that didn't resolve the issue. Another post claimed that while normally not appropriate to use, setting $wgSessionInsecureSecrets to true would prevent the exception from appearing, however, even with it set to true, the exception still occurs.
What, if anything, can I do to resolve this issue, or at least get more information on the cause of the exception? 47.199.160.137 (talk) 02:51, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- try putting $wgShowExceptionDetails=true; earlier in your LocalSettings.php. make sure you capitalized and spelled it correctly. Try enabling php errors just to see. Bawolff (talk) 18:33, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Securing logins without rate limiting or captchas
- MediaWiki 1.34.2 with just one registered user of myself.
- ==My problem==
- I am having trouble setting Rate limiting due to slowness from a common dependency (Memcache) and I don't want to use Captcha because of a minimalist approach by which I don't install any external extension besides ContactPage to ensure ease of maintenance and upgrading through time (as far as I know MediaWiki captchas require at least one external extension).
- ==My question==
- How to solve my problem by securing my logins (preventing brute force attacks) without Rate limiting or Captcha?
- Perhaps:
- OpenID
- Email login confirmation (2FA)
- Relocating the login form to a new secret URL
- Anything else
- ==Side note==
- If I could I would gladly disable the option to log in from a public login form and logging in only via my hosting provider's control panel via a random link but I don't know any CMS which supports such kind of login (MediaWiki, WordPress, Drupal). 2001:44C8:4288:72A4:F98C:FD42:7216:317C (talk) 08:24, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

- as i said in your last post, you have memcached setup wrong, so its doing nothing other than making things slow.
- You should test to see if it works with CACHE_NONE, maybe it does. If not, installing php-apcu and using CACHE_ACCEL might be easier. Anyways, if you want features, use a host that supports your usecase. Bawolff (talk) 18:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Adding a Google search box to a wiki page
I have a wiki where each page is mapped to an external fileserver directory. I want to add a search box to the page that allows site specific searches of the fileserver content. So on page London I'd have a box where I could input the text Hats, and that would generate a google custom search https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Afileserver.com/Places/London+Hats and all my pdfs with Hats would be returned.
Is my best approach to use the iframe extension embed a search page coded elsewhere, or is there a clever Mediawiki solution? Vicarage (talk) 11:37, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- I couldn't think of an easy way of adding a box that would submit an external url, so I coded [https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Afileserver.com/{{#rreplace:{{PAGENAME}}|[ ]|%20}} Search], which gives an initial failed search, but is set up for a valid one Vicarage (talk) 12:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Set
$wgDisableTextSearch = true. And then set the external service url at$wgSearchForwardUrlas documented on the manual page. This will make the native searchbox to always redirect the search to whatever site you set for the latter variable. – Ammarpad (talk) 20:24, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Search for extension on backlinks
Hey, i use a lot "whatlinkshere" and i wondered if there is a way to structure that.
For example how it is right now:
whatlinkshere:
a
b
c
How i want it is:
whatlinkshere:
1. Pages that are helpful for new users
c
2. Pages that are fun
a
etc.
So i kind of want to categorize the backlinks but have not found a way or a extension that works like that. Bedtry (talk) 19:38, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- You could use Extension:DynamicPageList3 queries in templates along with page categorisation, e.g.
{{#dpl: | linksto = {{PAGENAME}} | category = Fun | eliminate = all }}- I have not tested the above.
- I use something similar. I can't remember why I used eliminate = all (reset = all is similar). I think it was to prevent a DPL-generated link, on page X, to page Y, from causing page Y to say "page X links here".
- Or use Extension:Cargo to create relations between pages. Jonathan3 (talk) 22:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Moving installation to a different folder on same server

FaaS/PaaS hosting model, shared hosting for MediaWiki?
I can't go with an IaaS modeled hosting service; the prices are great, yes, but it's too much time for me about SMTP/MTA/DNS/CDN/Upgrades/Security installations and confs, thus I must go for a Fass/Pass hosting service.
My problem is that most FaaS/PaaS hosting services I know of, especially those of the "shared hosting" sub-model are WordPress-only-oriented in the bad case and WordPress-and-a-bit-of-Drupal-oriented in the less bad case.
If it's in order here, please recommend others and myself about an affordable, commonly-priced, FaaS/PaaS hosting service which respects and supports MediaWiki and also contains Memcahed configured for MediaWiki.

Updating of MediaWiki in Plesk
Hi, we are running this MediaWiki which apparently is not up-to-date. However, I do not know how to update because it is installed as an application from Plesk on a HostEurope virtual engine.
I would like to update MediaWiki from Plesk to the newest version since I have big troubles with spam on my wiki site and some extensions would not run properly.
How can this update be initiated?
Thank you Bgerlach (talk) 12:58, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- While I won't comment on the update issue yet, I should note that most extensions should be comparable with MW 1.31, since it is technically a supported LTS release. I don't think extensions would care about the minor update version. Leaderboard (talk) 13:34, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for this hint. It indeed slipped my attention that I have to use the extensions for MW 1.31 instead of 1.35. Thank you. I was now able to install the extensions.
- Does anybody know how I can find out more about this upgrade in Plesk? Bgerlach (talk) 20:21, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Developing an extension in MediaWiki
We need to write some validation logic to validate data that has been entered in the PageForms of SMW before saving it to the database. We are suing MediaWiki 1.34. I came across this : https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/docs/architecture/developing.extension.md
and have been trying to follow the instructions to write a custom extension.
a) I want to confirm that this is the right way to proceed.
b) Are there any instructions on how i can deploy this extension to my installation of Semantic MediaWiki ?
c) Is it possible to call an external service endpoint from SMW when an event is triggered. We want to define the validation rules using Shacl and would like validate the data entered against Shacl rules - any suggestions on how this can be done would be very helpful.

Which states pretty clearly (on second reading) to create a sandbox on... Commons

Sudden database connection problem
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
A week ago I had a working app with a Postgresql database on Heroku. I pushed a commit and that connection stopped working, I went back to my previous commit which used to be working and the connection still didn't work.
Since then I've tested my app on two local servers, one on my computer (which does work and is supporting my whole client base right now) and one on my partners computer, which has the same issue as the Heroku server. Could anyone help me in figuring out how to fix this and get my server on Heroku running again?

And than the update stops, resulting in all content pages showing error message; see e.g. https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Main_Page
Also, tried to run cleanupUsersWithNoId.php but not sure what prefix to use.
Any idea to fix this?
Appreciated! @Albert Ke Albert Ke (talk) 03:58, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- the prefix doesnt really matter. Its just prefixed to the username of imported users.
- For ipblocks you might have to manually delete that row of the ipblocks table. Bawolff (talk) 05:10, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you @Bawolff,
- Could you point me to some documentation on how to gracefully remove a row from the ipblocks table from the command line?
- Thank you for the prompt response! Albert Ke (talk) 15:34, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- you should probably backup db before doing this. You can use Sql.php or mysql command line tool (if the latter, have to do, "use dbname;" first.)
- And then do something like
- DELETE FROM ipblocks WHERE ipb_address = "0-0";
- (Im not sure which key is duplicated. That where clause might be wrong. Maybe it should be just 0) Bawolff (talk) 17:05, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you @Bawolff,
- Made a db backup as sql and xml. Did "use wikidbname" -> Database changed
- It looks like the 'delete from' didn't have an impact:
- mysql> DELETE FROM ipblocks WHERE ipb_address = "0-0";
- OR
- mysql> DELETE FROM ipblocks WHERE ipb_address = "0";
- OR
- mysql> DELETE FROM ipblocks WHERE ipb_address = " ";
- OR
- mysql> DELETE FROM ipblocks WHERE ipb_address = "";
- resulted all in:
- Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.0x sec)
- Using ipb_address_unique:
- mysql> DELETE FROM ipblocks WHERE ipb_address_unique = "0-0";
- ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'ipb_address_unique' in 'where clause'
- Could the problem be in:
- Beginning migration of revision.rev_user and revision.rev_user_text to revision_actor_temp.revactor_actor
- User name "Stkane" is usable, cannot create an anonymous actor for it.
- And therefore, should I delete from revision 'Stkane' or something?
- Or is this a bad suggestion?
- Thank you! Albert Ke (talk) 17:16, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- ipb_address_unique is a compound key using multiple fields, so its a bit unclear which field is duplicated. If you dont care about any of your blocks, you could just delete all of them, or the following query might tell you which ones are duplicated:
- SELECT ipb_address, ipb_user, ipb_auto group by 1,2,3 HAVING count(*) > 1; Bawolff (talk) 20:40, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry this took awhile, I think there needs to be a FROM in the statement (without it returns a 1046 error). Also, it looks like the prefix needs to be in front of the table name otherwise it returns an empty set.
- When doing:
- mysql> SELECT ipb_address, ipb_user, ipb_auto FROM mw_ipblocks group by 1,2,3 HAVING count(*) > 1;
- It returns:
- +----------------+----------+----------+
- | ipb_address | ipb_user | ipb_auto |
- +----------------+----------+----------+
- | 173.44.37.242 | 0 | 0 |
- | 188.187.33.116 | 0 | 0 |
- | 198.245.71.141 | 0 | 0 |
- | 199.15.234.122 | 0 | 0 |
- | 5.254.138.73 | 0 | 0 |
- | 5.254.145.211 | 0 | 0 |
- | 5.9.238.41 | 0 | 0 |
- | 68.235.38.10 | 0 | 0 |
- | 86.159.109.94 | 0 | 0 |
- | 93.182.180.14 | 0 | 0 |
- +----------------+----------+----------+
- 10 rows in set (0.00 sec)
- Then followed the next steps to remove double entires:
- Get the ipb_id for each duplicate, so e.g: select * from mw_ipblocks where ipb_address = "173.44.37.242";
- Delete 1 of the two indicated ipb_id's. So e.g.:DELETE FROM mw_ipblocks WHERE ipb_id = "479";
- and repeat step 1 & 2 10 times since there are 10 duplicates.
- Re-ran the build.php script and now went through it completely so problem solved!!!

uploaded images arent visible any more
Hi, I noticed that uploaded images arent visibale any more at my wiki.
for example:
file https://www.dasletztewiki.de/images/f/fa/Alex_Couch.jpg isnt available, page is http://www.dasletztewiki.de/index.php?title=Alexander_Voigt
the log entry says the following:
File::transform: Doing stat for mwstore://local-backend/local-thumb/a/a6/Lasche.jpg/468px-Lasche.jpg
[FileOperation] FileBackendStore::getFileStat: File mwstore://local-backend/local-thumb/a/a6/Lasche.jpg/468px-Lasche.jpg does not exist.
But on my server, the file is where it should be?!? 195.145.204.21 (talk) 06:27, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry - the log is about image /images/a/a6/Lasche.jpg - but its on the same page an the same problem 195.145.204.21 (talk) 06:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

- Check the error log of your webserver software.

- thanks for your reply.
- webserver is saying on the corresponding line:
- [core:alert] /var/www/vhosts/***/httpdocs/***/images/.htaccess: Option FollowSymLinks not allowed here, referer: _url_/index.php?title=Alexander_Voigt
- (the *** in the logs are the correct path)
- my 1.28 will be updated soon :) 195.145.204.21 (talk) 09:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Got It!
- images directory got its own .htaccess and there I changed "Options +FollowSymLinks" to "Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch" ... thanks for pointing out to the webserver logs, that give me the necessary hint 195.145.204.21 (talk) 09:55, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
CirrusSearch autocomplete: Search in NS_MAIN and NS_FILE at the same time as anonymous user
I searched for that several hours for now, but i don't get ist.
Pleas help me.
I have MediaWiki 1.35 with CirrusSearch installed.
I just want to search in NS_MAIN and NS_FILE at the sametime in the autocomplete search box as anonymous user.
I tried
1.)
$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault = [
NS_MAIN => true,
NS_FILE => true
];
2.)
Extension MixedNamespaceSearchSuggestions
with
$wgContentNamespaces = [
NS_MAIN,
NS_FILE
];
3.)
$wgCirrusSearchExtraIndexes = [
NS_FILE => [ '' ]
];
Don' know how to setup this.
4.)
$wgCirrusSearchNamespaceMappings = [
NS_FILE => [ 'titlesuggest' ]
];
$wgCirrusSearchShardCount = [ 'content' => 4, 'general' => 4, 'titlesuggest' => 4 ];
Don' know how to setup this.
I hope someone could help.

Upgrade Problem 1.28 -> 1.35 - only hyroglyphs visible
Hi,
I tried to upgrade my site from 1.28 to the latest version. Uploaded all files and run the mw-config script.
After all it says everything went fine, but when I access my site - I only see symbols and hyroglyphs
Site running 1.28: https://www.dasletztewiki.de/index.php?title=Hauptseite

TOC
Hello,
is it possible to create a table of content with collapsible headings? Onmiy (talk) 14:35, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Basically yes, but Iam not sure whether we have an easy configuration option to ensure collapsed TOC from beginning.
- Via JavaScript you may equip the TOC element with
class=mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"and need to request:mw.loader.load("jquery.makeCollapsible"); - Please see Manual:Collapsible elements and ResourceLoader/Core modules. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 10:37, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Pages within a listed category all have starting letter of {
I am creating categories by using a template and the PAGENAME variable. The categories are getting created correctly, and the pages are being added with the correct name, but they always started with the character '{'

- yes, mediawiki sets cookies for people who are blocked. It is configurable via manual:$wgCookieSetOnAutoblock.
- Note: that cookies also get set when you save a page, even if logged out (this is to ensure users properly get any talk page messages sent to them, and to make sure that they always read-back a version after their writes in the face of db lag) Bawolff (talk) 20:46, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Slowness of a local wiki
Hi, i recently tried to import XML pages of Infobox and it gave me an error, same as: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project%3ASupport%20desk/Flow/2016/04#h-Error-2016-04-27T04%3A38%3A00.000Z
After that i looked at the page Template:Infobox and it was partially filled, with some data lacking. I tried to make an infobox in my wiki, calling the template and it work but when i go to a page with an infobox it is very slow to load
Do you know what can be the problem? Cible30 (talk) 21:04, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- the lua code is taking too long. There might be profiling data you can look at when you preview the page. You will need to know lua to debug this problem.
- Its possible switching from LuaStandalone to LuaSandbox might help performance. As always, make sure you have caching setup. Bawolff (talk) 04:11, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, thank you. I think LuaSandbox isn't available for windows (?) (and i'm on windows)
- I don't know if it may be useful but i try to look at the Network panel while the page was loading. ("A" is the page that was loading and that contain infobox)
- Images here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10BQNq0a1ap7z8zP2l0g2GjrUohTudy9A/view?usp=sharing

Templates in Articles Not Automatically Updating
I am having a weird issue all of a sudden (I'm 98% sure it is new) where if I edit a template, the change does not automatically update on any articles featuring that template. If I go to edit that article and then save the changes, then the changes to that template show up. I do not seem to be having any issues with categories or anything like that, my job queue is clear (that was my first guess), and wgJobRunRate is set to 1. I'm running MW 1.31 if that helps, let me know if any other info is needed. Tfkalk (talk) 04:47, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- The website is probably showing you cached versions, and editing them clears the cache. Probably adding &action=purge to the URL would have the same effect. There's some relevant stuff here: Manual:Cache. Jonathan3 (talk) 10:13, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- (I have been looking for an answer meanwhile)
- Sounds as if your cache updating is slow. It is the right starting point that you mentioned that your job queue is clear.
- We do know this problem but receive an updated page version with some lag since our job queue has always overload.
- When you modify a page transcluded anywhere else all depending pages are marked as dirty and put into execution queue to be rebuilt. Apparently this mechanism is out of order.
- If you edit or ask for cache clearing by
action=purgein URL (see Manual:Parameters to index.php) that page will be rendered freshly. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 10:49, 11 February 2021 (UTC) - Maybe an extension or something is interfering with the job queue? I think this happened to me once. I think I either updated the extension or deleted the contents of the job queue table, or both, to get things up and running again. Jonathan3 (talk) 15:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks @Jonathan3 @Gib Senf dazu! ! Adding the &action=purge worked. As you can imagine, I would like to not have to purge each time if possible haha and figure out what caused this issue to fix it. I went and re-checked the job table and there are now two jobs there (both of which seem tied to the template I had edited). Is it possible that this is really a job queue issue? Tfkalk (talk) 17:49, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- I always like to blame caching if I don't understand something, if that helps :-) I'd look into that and the job queue thing too (maybe disable extensions and see whether it works etc). Jonathan3 (talk) 23:48, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
How to test if MediaWiki communicates with Memcached?
My hosting provider's staff member reported that Memcached process is running. After that I have set:
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED; $wgMemCachedServers = [ "127.0.0.1:11211" ];
And yet, I did not experience any significant improvement in content serving speed, rather pages are being loaded/reloaded significantly slower.
How to test if MediaWiki communicates with Memcached either from MediaWiki's side or perhaps even from Memcached's side? 2001:44C8:424C:FDE4:DD9:A557:7608:AA3C (talk) 07:24, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- In my shared server environment, Memcached host is indeed localhost (127.0.0.1) and it indeed listens to port 11211, so the above configuration is probably correct.
- Perhaps I lack some conf in another place? 2001:44C8:424C:FDE4:F5C4:1F71:96DA:FDC9 (talk) 07:51, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

unwanted bot subscribtions
Hi
I'm annoyed by hundreds of fake automated subscriptions requests every day.
I run every night the maintenance script removeUnusedAccounts.php but it doesn't clear the logs and it will trouble the true people who are not writing immediately after subscription.
What is the best way to prevent such automated subscriptions (and allow true ones, of course).
Thanks Tintinux (talk) 08:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- PS : I'm running Mediawiki 1.35.1 Tintinux (talk) 08:01, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Manual:Combating spam Malyacko (talk) 08:45, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- At one point I had hundreds of these. As they had not made any edits to the wiki, I was able to use Manual:removeUnusedAccounts.php to get rid of them.
- Then I used Extension:ConfirmAccount for a while, but it was a pain in the neck because I couldn't find a way to deal with multiple accounts at once. It might suit you, though, and may have been updated.
- Maybe the answer is to run the script weekly or monthly, to give genuine people time to make an edit if that is their intention. Jonathan3 (talk) 14:42, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Collapsible elements issue after update to 1.35.1
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I'm making use of the Collapsible elements on our wiki. After upgrading to 1.35.1 it only works once on a page - reloading the page will show all of the elements expanded. Clearing the browser cache will make it work again once. You can test it here: https://docs.derivative.ca/TestPage - reload the page to see all of them suddenly expanded. Looking at the browser's console reveals this:

- the error message says you are not using mediawikis built in version of jquery, which is probably causing the problem.
- You can see https://docs.derivative.ca/TestPage?safemode=1 works, so probably something bad in mediawiki:common.js or mediawiki:vector.js or a gadget. Bawolff (talk) 11:43, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

- safemode works for me only when initially hitting the page. reloading it results again in all of them expanded. Wuestenarchitekten (talk) 21:28, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- yes, safemode just temporarily disables Mediawiki:common.js and related pages. It was meant to demonstrate where the problem is, not be the solution. You need to either fix or delete those mediawiki namespace js pages. Bawolff (talk) 05:08, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

add a category/tag to a link?

How to realize LDAP Single Sign On in the version 1.35
Hi,
we are not mediawiki experts but generally experienced developers. We have to upgrade (ancestral) mediawiky from 1.27 version to the 1.35 one. The former installation uses SSO based on the AuthPlugin extension. In the new (upgraded to 1.35) installation we have already working LDAP authentication based on LDAPProvider (e.t.c.) extension and we really appreciate any idea how to implement the SSO too.
Thanks in advance for your reply/help. Koropeckyi (talk) 08:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- For SSO you can use Extension:Auth_remoteuser. You webserver needs to provide the proper username then. Usually this is archived by using Kerberos. On Windows Servers one must just enable "Windows-Authentication" in the IIS. On Linux servers with Apache as webserver you will need to set up
mod_auth_kerbor something similar. Osnard (talk) 09:21, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

La pregunta es (es la primera vez que subo algo a wikipedia) ¿se contrastan las opiniones realizadas por un tercero? ¿alguien supervisa que esos comentarios esten fundados? ¿o se procede a eliminar la pagina en cuestion?

Unable to access pages with apostrophe in the title
Hello
We built a new Mediawiki 1.32 environment a year ago and imported all of the existing mediawiki pages from an older mediawiki environment via mysqldump to the new environment.
We have just discovered that we are not able to access wiki pages that was previously created that includes an apostrophe in the title. Do anyone know if this can be resolved, and what a fix would be?
Here’s an example
Leadville - Al's Notes
https://osswiki.tdc.vzwcorp.com/wiki/Leadville_-_Al%27s_Notes
Our current configuration includes the following.
mediawiki-1.32.2
Apache 2.4
PHP 7.1.33
MySQL 57
Solaris 11.4
Thanks! Rallison11 (talk) 16:07, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- Mgug30, Thanks for the response. But can you put that into english. I am not able to read it. I am trying to determine why we are not able to access wiki pages that were created in a previous version of Mediawiki which includes an apostrophe in the title Rallison11 (talk) 19:17, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- wow, solaris. That's not something you see anymore.
- I cant view your site (something about dns), but most likely, something wrong with apache rewrite rules for short urls. Can you view it if you do index.php?title=title_here ? What happens when you go to such pages? Bawolff (talk) 11:23, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Bawolff,
- Yes, we have a heavy Solaris presence. :) This is the only Mediawiki environment we have on Solaris.
- The URL is internal. I included it as an example of a page having an apostrophe.
- But, when I try to access the page using either of the following https://osswiki.tdc.vzwcorp.com/wiki/Leadville_-_Al’s_Notes or https://osswiki.tdc.vzwcorp.com/index.php?title=Leadville_-_Al’s_Notes it takes me to the main page of the wiki (https://osswiki.tdc.vzwcorp.com/wiki/Main_Page), instead of the actual page.
- This is what I have in httpd.conf for the rewrite rules
- RewriteEngine On
- RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
- RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
- RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wiki/index.php [L]
- Any help or direction would be much appreciated.
- Thanks Rallison11 (talk) 02:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Bawolff or anyone, ,
- I wanted to follow up to see if anyone can provide any assistance on why we are not able to access wiki pages that were created in a previous version of Mediawiki which includes an apostrophe in the title. When we try to access a wiki page that has an apostrophe in the title it takes us to the main page of the wiki, not the actual page we are trying to access. Based on the previous response, I posted the rewrite rules currently in the configuration.

Upload link fails to appear
I'm new to MediaWiki and am working on a site for a client and I need to upload pictures to complete the project. I've followed all the steps to ensure that uplodaing should be possible yet, no matter what I've done, I still cannot get the upload link t appear.
The $wgEnableUploads = true; is set to true as you can see.
PHP uploads are on from the php.ini file.
The images folder is writable.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help!
Thank you,

- What happens if you type
[[Media:Test.jpg]]in to a page, save the page, and click the link? Jonathan3 (talk) 22:49, 12 February 2021 (UTC) - Make sure the user you're logged in with has permission to upload. It's true by default for 'user' and 'sysop' groups.
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['upload'] = true;- You should check whether you've changed it in LocalSettings.php – Ammarpad (talk) 06:47, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- if you go directly to the page Special:Upload it might give you a meaningful error message. Bawolff (talk) 11:18, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Special:ReplaceText Issue with Categories
- On replacing,
[[Category:Rebuttal Deep-Dives]]
with
[[Category:Retorts]]
i received alert:
The information you’re about to submit is not secure
Because the site is using a connection that’s not completely secure, your information will be visible to others.
That's unexpected, because the site is secure.
I clicked "SEND ANYWAY", and was returned to Special:ReplaceText, without any confirmation that the replace was done.
Now, the categories on pages say:
[[Category:Rebuttal Deep-Dives|Category:Rebuttal Deep-Dives]] Johnywhy (talk) 00:36, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- the security warning is probably unrelated to the replacement not working. The replacement issue is probably just specifying the wrong text.
- For the security warning, make sure that $wgServer starts with https:// Bawolff (talk) 11:16, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thx for the security fix! i wonder why wgServer wasn't https on first installation. Johnywhy (talk) 19:14, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Ignorewarn deprecated, so how to overwrite already existing files using upload.py?
Hi, I'm doing an upload job where I am trying to overwrite a certain set of files via upload.py. However the ignorewarnings seems t be a legacy feature and the documentation isn't updated to match that. How can I block the upload bot from asking me if I want to upload (necessitating me to type Yes to each uploaded file) to an already existing file without using ignorewarnings? What's the syntax?
Also, is there a list of warning and error codes for uploading and if so where can I find them? C1MM (talk) 00:37, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

- we have the same issue with $wgServer .
- originally installed 1.35.2 in debian bullseye [ see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35 ]
- 1.35.2 had bugs like this that I spent 10+ hours on :
- Adding default interwiki definitions ...Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1699 of /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: Error 1054: Unknown column 'iw_api' in 'field list'
- after that I am trying 1.35 untared over 1.35.2
- in 1.35.2 this worked:
- $wgServer = WebRequest::detectServer();
- now it does not.
- tried :
- $wgServer = 'http://wiki-2021.<ourdomain>.com';
- $wgServer = 'wiki-2021.<ourdomain>.com';
- and
- $wgServer = 'localhost';
- still an issue.
- the searching around I've done shows others running into the great wall of $wgServer .
- we are a 100% Debian shop and as with Debian for many years we greatly appreciate the work done to maintain Mediawiki. So I understand that there can be bugs . I'd like to help get this fixed for all.
- I do not consider the 30+ hours working on our migration from what is a git based 1.31 system to 1.35 to be a waste of time. I do not want to give up so and suggested shots in the dark will be appreciated.
- PS: we'll probably try install to a new directory and rsync extensions and more to the new install. I'll copy the current virtual machine in case someone has suggestions. RobFantini (talk) 17:42, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Never mind my last post. I am following Ciencia Al Poder's advise and using latest production wiki version and making progress.

- Apparently one of the revisions points to a text id = 0, which is invalid. That shouldn't happen during normal operation, and is an error. You probably would get an error if you view the diff of that particular revision.
- Possible fixes involve manually editing the database: Find that revision and either delete it, or update the rev_text_id with the id of the previous or next revision of the same page. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your hint, @Ciencia Al Poder. I checked the revisions table:
SELECT * FROM `mw_revision` WHERE `rev_text_id` = 0- 1 Result from 2011. Would it OK to just delete this entry? Or will this cause other inconsistencies?
- Thanks again. 2003:E4:FF15:E000:39EF:2E89:9CC9:9783 (talk) 16:29, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- There will be no inconsistencies, just a revision that disappears. However, that revision is already broken/not accessible, since it has no text associated to it. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:21, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Solved. Thanks alot @Ciencia Al Poder
- I deleted the broken revision and the update.php finished without any problems.
- MediaWiki 1.35.1 ist finally up and running.
- Thanks again for the great support!

How to "start slow" with community creation?
I am the admin of a MediaWiki 1.34.2 website; currently I am the only registered user and the website is closed to registration and editing for anyone else.
I do want to open the website for public editing (to both anonymous and registered) but I want to "start slow", allowing only minor edits at start, say, up to creating/deleting 500 bytes per edit. The purpose of such limitation is to slowly learning about patrolling and moderation myself and getting more. Of course, a user who edits should get a clear message that editing is limited.
If you were in a similar situation, which limitation/s would you utilize and how would you do so? Thanks 2001:44C8:424C:FDE4:A70C:CC50:427D:2A46 (talk) 12:14, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Using Javascript to filter out lines
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 wanted to filter lines in my wiki based on an input box. Outside mediawiki this works
<script>
function filter() {
var x = document.getElementsByClassName("column");
search=document.getElementById("input").value;
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
if (x[i].id.indexOf(search) == -1) {
x[i].style.display = 'none';
} else {
x[i].style.display = 'inline';
}
}
}
filter();
</script>
<input type="text" id="input" onkeyup="filter()" value="Golden" placeholder="Filter..." title="Type in a name">
<div id="Boulder 1" class="column">Boulder 1</div>
<div id="Golden 1" class="column">Golden 1</div>
<div id="Boulder 2" class="column">Boulder 2</div>
<div id="Golden 2" class="column">Golden 2</div>
But I've got confused on how to put this in common.js, my current approach is
$(function () {
var x = document.getElementsByClassName("filtered");
var input = document.getElementById("input");
if (input != null) {
search=input.value;
} else {
search="Golden";
}
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
if (x[i].id.indexOf(search) == -1) {
x[i].style.display = 'none';
} else {
x[i].style.display = 'block';
}
}
}());
$('#boxhere').html('<input type="text" id="input" onkeyup="function ()" value="Golden" placeholder="Filter..." title="Type in a name">');
With wiki page
<div id="boxhere"></div> <div id="Boulder 1" class="filtered">Boulder 1</div> <div id="Golden 1" class="filtered">Golden 1</div> <div id="Golden 2" class="filtered">Golden 2</div> <div id="Boulder 2" class="filtered">Boulder 2</div>
But the javascript function is not being run as I type. I guess the problem is how to give names to the function and call it correctly, but I can't get the right combination of function keyword and different sorts of brackets. Vicarage (talk) 16:00, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Several problems:
- You have encapsulated your code via
$(}());- Basically it is a good idea to encapsulate things.
- But it is hidden from the world now.
- It does need a name in global JS namespace.
- That name is required in
onkeyup="uniqueName"
- That name is required in
- It is a strange mixture of jQuery and document.getElements HTML DOM functions, but would work.
searchwas not declared and might collide with something else in global JS namespace.- Some minor strict coding issues. PerfektesChaos (talk) 18:39, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- You have encapsulated your code via
- Thanks for the suggestions, which I've tried to take on board, thought as I'm sure is apparent I don't really know Javascript. I was following the advice in Adding JavaScript to Wiki Pages, and didn't really understand the syntax, and why there there was a function keyword but not followed by a name
- If I rewrite still clumsily asthen fred clearly runs once, but it doesn't seem to run again, as <div id="output"></div> in a mediawiki page never gets changed as I type in the box Vicarage (talk) 20:07, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
function fred () { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("filtered"); var output = document.getElementById("output"); var search123 = "Golden"; if(document.getElementById("input") && document.getElementById("input").value) { search123 = document.getElementById("input").value; output.innerHTML = document.getElementById("input").value } for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { if (x[i].id.indexOf(search123) == -1) { x[i].style.display = 'none'; } else { x[i].style.display = 'block'; } } } fred(); $('#boxhere').html('<input type="text" id="input" onkeyup="fred" value="Golden" placeholder="Filter..." title="Type in a name">'); - Ah-ha onkeyup="fred()".

LocalSettings.php-only-debugging in MediaWiki 1.32 or greater
I want to know if there are or there aren't problems with Memcached in my MediaWiki 1.34.2 installation and to do so only via LocalSettings.php (in part because my hosting environment is PaaS-shared and I don't have a lot of control over its components).
Please review my LocalSettings.php configuration below and share if you find any problem or would change something (perhaps adding some information security):
# PHP: error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); # SQL: $wgDebugDumpSql = true; # Creating a log file: $wgDebugLogFile = "./myLog.txt";
2001:44C8:424C:FDE4:84FE:C86C:C2BE:11DC (talk) 17:10, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Malyacko by "information security" I meant to ensure secured output with as less as possible potential for security breaches or data that could make easier work for potential crackers. 2001:44C8:4180:F93D:749F:92CB:35E8:D44B (talk) 09:54, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- In that case I'd rather recommend running supported software versions. The 1.34.x series had its end of life in November 2020, so its security issues will not get fixed by 1.34.x updates. Malyacko (talk) 20:56, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
Renaming Category Failed with MassEditRegex
(also posted to MassEditRegex talk page)
My rename failed. First i went to the category page https://MyUrl/Category:Delete_Me, which lists one page called DeletemeNext, i clicked `Edit All`, and got the Mass Edit page with the category pre-loaded.So far, so good. Then i enter my desired find-replace text:
find: \[\[Category:Delete Me\]\]
replace: [[Category: New Category Name]]But when i submit, i get an error, saying the page (the page that's in the old category) doesn't exist: Johnywhy (talk) 19:22, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
how to set a offset to view the heading below the nav
In ChameleonLayoutFile: fixedhead (MW135) the headings are under the fixed nav not visible after a jump from TOC. How to set a offset to move down the page (slider scroll up) by nav.height after jumping from TOC only?

MediaWiki internal error - bug in extension???
Our site is running MediaWiki (possibly v.1.25.1? this is what I found in the release notes on the cpanel file manager) through HostGator (running PHP 7.3.6).
We do next to nothing behind the scenes with the wiki in the cpanel and whatnot, we solely update the content. We are not tech savvy at all (we're Jane Austen enthusiasts) so if you are able to help, please assume that I'm extremely stupid when explaining!
The wiki was running just fine a couple of days ago but yesterday we discovered that when trying to load any page on the wiki it was throwing up an internal error like the one copy and pasted below. I googled around and tried doing an update through the browser mw-config, having managed to find the upgrade key, but this only gives me the 1.25.1 option. I looked at attempting to upgrade to the latest MW, but if I'm reading it right, HostGator's PHP isn't a new enough version to do it -- v.1.35.1 requires PHP 7.3.19? And HostGator's inbuilt MW install option is 1.23.9 which I assume is no help whatsoever! We do have a backup of the content, but have no idea where to go from here. Can anyone help???

- The "Special:Version" page in MediaWiki should tell you which exact version you are running. Just to make this clear, did this internal error happen before you tried upgrading? Malyacko (talk) 23:59, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Before - only two users on the site have access to the "behind the scenes" content, myself and the board administrator, and neither of us have touched any of the wiki files in years. The error came out of nowhere! Ruxburgh (talk) 08:30, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- the internal error sounds a lot like having the wrong version of extension:Cite for your version of mediawiki. Bawolff (talk) 00:20, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! Would it be normal for this to break out of nowhere? How would I go about changing the version? Ruxburgh (talk) 08:32, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- I think MediaWiki 1.25 is not (fully) compatible with PHP 7.3
- HostGator probably upgraded PHP and that broke things. If you can't return to the previous PHP version, you'll have to upgrade MediaWiki and extensions to a recent supported MediaWiki version. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:14, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- How do you update the extensions? Sin Stalker (talk) 00:25, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- See Manual:Upgrading Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:18, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- HostGator supports PHP 7.4, which MediaWiki supports: How to Update the PHP Version | HostGator Support. You can switch the PHP version there, and then upgrade MediaWiki. Leaderboard (talk) 14:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Were you able to fix this?

Need to disable DatabaseMysqlBase::serverIsReadOnly
I currently have a Mediawiki 1.30 install that I have tried to upgrade to the latest 1.35 and that has failed due to the db server read only checking.
My db backend is a master/multi-replica Mariadb cluster with Maxscale doing read/write routing. All writes go to the master and all reads to to the replicas. When the upgrade.php attempts to see if the db is read only, it does so with a select statement, thus routed to a read only replica and fails. I changed to db from the maxscal IP to the master mariadb box and the upgrade worked. Swapped the host back to the maxscale box and found I was unable to log in. Enabled debugging and got this:
[DBQuery] Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMysqlBase::serverIsReadOnly [0.001s] xxxxxxxx: SELECT @@GLOBAL.read_only AS Value
So, I rolled back my install and things are working again. While I cannot understand why there would be a need to have read only logic in the software at all, I need to know if there is a way to disable it as it will not work in my environment at all. Joeotterson (talk) 22:04, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- MediaWiki handles the Primary/Replica connections through $wgDBservers. Looks like Maxscale doing the read/write routing is not supported. You probably want to bugreport it. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:05, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Detecting the presense/absense of flag argument to a template
I would like to detect the mere presense/absense of an argument to a template as an elegant flag, to distinguish between {{fred|flag}} and {{fred}}. But all the #if and #ifeq logic and using defaults means the best I can do is {{fred|flag=}} which seems crude. Vicarage (talk) 09:12, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- use {{{1}}}. Complex argument handling is easier in lua. Bawolff (talk) 01:52, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- You should never treat
{{fred}}and{{fred|}}and{{fred| }}and{{fred|1=}}differently. - The VisualEditor is inserting empty assignments automatically for recommended fields, and using VisualEditor the performers do not know how source text looks like. Template programming is much older.
- I understand from our template magicians that best approach to deal with default value
42(or none) by{{#if: {{{1|}}} | {{{1}}} | 42 }}- This is also trimming but unnamed parameters keep whitespace.
- It makes no difference whether Lua is used or traditional template programming, both suffering from the same nuisances. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 10:50, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- As far as I can see {{fred|flag}} and {{fred}} end up exactly the same if you interrogate flag in a template, so you can't see it was provided that way or not. My hopes were raised as the External Data extension for example uses flags, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:External_Data##get_web_data_-_CSV,_GFF,_JSON,_XML,_HTML, but I guess that's because its a parser function.
- Oh well, ugly it is. Vicarage (talk) 18:02, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
How to safely remove ContactPage?
On MediaWiki 1.34.2 the only addon extension I ever installed is ContactPage; for now I would like to remove it.
Is there anything to take into account when (backuping) and removing its configuration from LocalSettings.php and when removing its files from the file tree? 2001:44C8:4180:F93D:B543:F43:460A:F3A9 (talk) 11:42, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- I recall I had to create some 301 reference when getting ContactPage to work but I can't find that reference in a list of all the references I have. 2001:44C8:4180:F93D:B543:F43:460A:F3A9 (talk) 11:43, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Looks like Extension:ContactPage doesn't write anything to the database. Removing the extension from LocalSettings.php should be sufficient. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:00, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

- The two errors dont make sense. If extension.json is missing (first error) then the update shouldnt run. Maybe its a permission error. Check its readable by web server. Bawolff (talk) 01:50, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- The frist question is CheckUser is download by git and it is marked as submodule, and I used git to upload to heroku. How about the second question? SunAfterRain 06:17, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

- Hi, this sounds like a question on the web server software level and is unrelated to MediaWiki itself. Malyacko (talk) 15:05, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- It appears that if you use a self-signed certificate 'account creation' attempts will result in a session error resulting from within the 'form processing' function. It seems to be an application triggered error.

I need to disable the noreferrer attribute for 4 external "_blank" links in my wiki.
I completely understand that noreferrer has been included for security but I really need to turn it off in my use case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Setup Mediawiki as HTTPS Only
Does anyone have prepared steps to setting up Mediawiki as HTTPS Only? I am setting up an internal CA and Intermediate CA so I am looking for any previous experiences in this effort. Especially regarding Mediawiki behavior. Currently, I am able to display the 'create account' and 'login' pages, but their actions result in a session error. I am assuming it is the certificate, so I am setting up the CAs as well. MWilsonCK (talk) 09:32, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- that's something you do on the webserver layer not mediawiki. As far as mediawiki is concerned, all you need is $wgServer to be the correct origin starting with https://. Everything else is on the webserver layer below mediawiki.
- If you want strict https only, you may also want to configure your webserver to send HSTS headers.
- > Currently, I am able to display the 'create account' and 'login' pages, but their actions result in a session error. I am assuming it is the certificate...
- Almost certainly not due to the certificate. It could be something related to rewrite rules or $wgServer. If those are set incorrectly the action of the form might be in a different origin than the original page which would cause a session error. If caching is misconfigured it can can also cause a session error. Bawolff (talk) 09:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the prompt response Mr. Bawolff. $wgServer is currently set as follows: MWilsonCK (talk) 10:23, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- ## The protocol and server name to use in fully-qualified URLs
- $wgServer = "https://hostname:443"; MWilsonCK (talk) 10:24, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- normally you would not include :443 at the end since port 443 is the default for https. Bawolff (talk) 05:04, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- I have toggled $wgServer before and that resulted in a fatal error.
- I have also toggled: #$wgForceHTTPS = true;
- And currently commenting out forcehttps has gotten me to this current state.
- Further reading suggests using Let's Encrypt. So I'm taking a trip through SSL Land.
- What do you suggest? Everything else works on my old Mediawiki (http only) and my system. MWilsonCK (talk) 10:24, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Of course my situation is somewhat specific, so I would like to document options with solutions.
- And, it appears that Mediawiki won't work with a self-sign cert? MWilsonCK (talk) 10:40, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- So my question is: are their any other hacks? e.g. cURL, etc.? MWilsonCK (talk) 10:51, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- It appears that if you use a self-signed certificate 'account creation' attempts will result in a session error resulting from within the 'form processing' function. It seems to be an application triggered error. Maybe cert verification functions.

Hi,

- all the folders have all the permissions
- these are my settings:

Someone with more knowledge on this will need to help you I think--just a MW user over here. The <code>does not exist</code> part to me would suggest it's looking for the files in the wrong place? Or a missing config settings like this topic:

- Yes, it is solved.
- I change the ResourceBasePath to the path manually written. Maybe it is because i created and set the wiki on Linux and once on windows the ResourceBasePath doesn't work.

Gaining Admin Privilges
Hi,
So we created a wiki in 2020 but upon creation there was a pre-existing user with the bureaucratic and admin privileges. How is that ? I am now trying to gain these privileges and and have tried contacting this user, but they don't respond. Now we would like to get this resolved prior to publishing our wiki. Can I create a new local settings on a pre-existing wiki, in order to gain these priviliges? Take into consideration that the wiki is ours and there is no infringement of rights. If we were to ask for professional help, who would we go to?
Thank you TVC690 (talk) 17:21, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- This sounds exactly like Changing bureaucratic/administrator status?? on Project:Support desk (mediawiki.org) Peculiar Investor (talk) 17:56, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, that was posted by my colleague but we have been trying to the Manual:Createandpromote.php solution but we were not able to get it to work. TVC690 (talk) 18:27, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- > Can I create a new local settings on a pre-existing wiki, in order to gain these priviliges?
- Not easily. Usual method is to give all users the userrights right, add yourself to admin group, remove the userrights right from the all users group.
- > If we were to ask for professional help, who would we go to?
- Professional development and consulting
- > Yes, that was posted by my colleague but we have been trying to the Manual:Createandpromote.php solution but we were not able to get it to work.
- If you describe what happened someone might be able to help. Bawolff (talk) 05:01, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your replies :)
- >If you describe what happened someone might be able to help
- When trying to add the permissions on the manual:createandPromote.php this is how I tried to type in the code in different ways
- 1. php createandPromote.php --bureaucrat --sysop --force Username
- 2. php createandPromote.php [--bureaucrat --sysop --force] Username
- 3. $permit roles = ['sysop' , "bureaucrat', 'bot' ] Username
- 4. Also tried to create a new user using php createAndPromote.php --bureaucrat --sysop --custom-groups=developer WikiSysop mypassword
- but none of the worked after uploading the file via ftp. TVC690 (talk) 14:17, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- 1 or 4 are correct. But where did you try to type this and what text was outputted after you did? Bawolff (talk) 08:13, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- So I have access to the SSH Terminal now and I locate the file that has the Manual:createandPromote.php on terminal and when I type that command the responding message is "Could not open input file: createandPromote.php" TVC690 (talk) 18:02, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- All of MediaWiki's maintenance scripts should be found in the
maintenancedirectory, so if you are the wiki's root directory the command isphp maintenance/createandPromote.php <options> - So #1 becomes:
php maintenance/createandPromote.php --bureaucrat --sysop --force UsernamePeculiar Investor (talk) 18:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)- Do I have to be in the root directory to execute the command? I used the cd command to get to the maintanence directory to execute the command but i still get the same message Could not open input file TVC690 (talk) 19:04, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- @TVC690 It has gone unnoticed as we've cut and pasted your previous attempts that the command is createAndPrompt.php, (case sensitive).
- So from the maintenance directory the command is:
php createAndPromote.php --bureaucrat --sysop <username> [password]Peculiar Investor (talk) 19:33, 19 February 2021 (UTC)- So I tried the command above still isn't working. But this message keeps popping up now, Usage: php [options] [-f] <file> [--] [args...] and a whole list of codes like -h and -r and -c . I don't know how to proceed. I though maybe I have a problem with php as an executable file ??. I don't know.
- I appreciate the assistance and your patience with my questions. TVC690 (talk) 21:31, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- @TVC690 What does
php -vreport? Peculiar Investor (talk) 22:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC) - @Peculiar Investor PHP 7.3.11 (cli) (built: Nov 14 2019 14:45:47) ( NTS )

- @TVC690 In the wiki's maintenance directory, try the command
php showJobs.php- It often returns 0. See Manual:ShowJobs.php for more information if you are curious.
- If that command works then I don't understand why the command is:
php createAndPromote.php --bureaucrat --sysop <username> [password]- isn't working for you. Have you confirmed the createAndPromote.php script exists in your maintenance directory? Peculiar Investor (talk) 15:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Peculiar Investor So I still get the same response which is "Can't open input file". and yes both files exist in the directory. TVC690 (talk) 17:22, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- @TVC690 The only other thing that I can think of is file permissions are preventing the maintenance script(s) from being opened. You might need to involve your hosting provider's support desk. Peculiar Investor (talk) 17:56, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- So I tried to type the command "php createandPromote.php --bureaucrat --sysop --force Username [password]" on the hosting providers website/file manager/ftp but there is a little x next to the line and that says Syntax error Unxpexcted T_String" How can I correct this ? TVC690 (talk) 19:55, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- To the best of my knowledge you need to execute it on the command line, via SSH. Peculiar Investor (talk) 20:30, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- When I did it in the SSH Command line I got the same error TVC690 (talk) 20:43, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Google turns up a few ideas, see mediawiki Syntax error Unexpected T_String - Google Search Many are for older versions of MediaWiki but they might help you debug the problem.
- Is the wiki currently live and operating without other issues? Peculiar Investor (talk) 00:10, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Your colleague previously mentioned where you are hosted. Do you have ssh access there so that you can execute the createAndPromote.php script from the command line? Peculiar Investor (talk) 14:38, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Now I can say "yes" to this, but when I do the above message is given. TVC690 (talk) 18:03, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Why can I not see the CookieWarning using the master
Hi Support Desk help,
Why can I not see the CookieWarning when I use the extension form master which appears to contain the fixes for previously reported problems with the Vector skin in MW 1.35?
I opened a new topic since updating previously opened entries
does not appear to get any answers.
Is there a new configuration option that now restricts the CookieWarning by default to European countries?
I upgraded our production wiki last weekend and am still trying to get the CookieWarning to work.
It is difficult to debug web applications from screen captures !! since I can not see the CookieWarning
Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide. Ken Roy (talk) 22:25, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

CirrusSearch
Hello,
after installing the extension and define the settings, is it necessary to put a CirrusSearch search bar on a page or is the CirrusSearch function integrated n the MediaWiki search funtion? Thanks Onmiy (talk) 11:09, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- its integrated. The normal search bar gets replaced with a cirrus one automatically when the extension is enabled. Bawolff (talk) 08:10, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Proton setup in wiki 1.35.1 on RHEL 7
Hello Team,
I am working on wiki 1.35.1 with RHEL 7, and I need to configure proton server.
I am following a below document for Proton pdf server in my wiki :
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/ServiceTemplateNode/GettingStarted
Steps Done:
step 1. Taken git clone
$ git clone https://github.com/wikimedia/service-template-node.git svg2png
step 2. Edit package.json which suggested in the link.
step 3. Configure config.dev.yaml, changed port and name which suggested in the link.
step 4. Dependencies: npm install, yum install librsvg2-devel,npm install --save librsvg
step 5. Creating the route module, changed path and app version which suggested in the link
Created new route module by copying the example routes/empty.js.template, to routes/svg2png-v1.js
step 6.Now, find a convenient location in the body of the file to register a route, and its corresponding handler function.
So my questions are in step 6.
question 1. In which file or where I need to add given code:
router.get('/:file', function(req, res) {
return preq.post({
uri: 'http://' + req.params.domain + '/w/api.php',
body: {
format: 'json',
action: 'query',
prop: 'imageinfo',
iiprop: 'url',
titles: 'File:' + req.params.file + '.svg'
}
})
});
question 2. What will be the exact URI (uri: 'http://' + req.params.domain + '/w/api.php') ? As I have taken clone in data/www/html
Team kindly suggest me proper steps, looking for your positive response .
TIA

VisualEditor strange behavior (unregistered inputs, double line breaks, disappearing characters...)
Hi all,
On my wiki (using mediawiki 1.35.1), VisualEditor (0.1.2) behaves very strangely and I can't figure out what might be causing it. (PHP 7.4.13, MySQL 5.7.33.)
Here's a gif showing this, with the on-screen keyboard on just for the purposes of seeing my inputs: vgy.me/u/DlMgW6
I've also poster on VE's talk page and StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66229966/visualeditor-strange-behavior-unregistered-inputs-double-line-breaks-disappea).
Partial list of some weird things I've seen:
- Can't enter text if there's nothing written yet (must use the toolbar to add a formatted string and then you're able to add to it).
- Can't input a line break if the cursor is at the end of the line (must add a random character, add the line break before it, then remove the character).
- Line breaks inconsistently add one or two lines.
- If adding several line breaks with no text, it's impossible to then navigate to one in the middle; arrows keys make the cursor jump to the next line with text.
- Sometimes inputs are simply not registered, or the characters get added to the end of the line regardless of where the cursor is.
- Adding line breaks sometimes makes random characters appear (presumably the same characters who did not appear when trying to input them earlier)
- etc.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, and/or how to fix it? Thanks.
(Unfortunately I can't link to the wiki at the moment as it's not public yet...) Acccent (talk) 17:00, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Custom position of LANGUAGES in MediaWiki:Sidebar ignored, displayed at bottom
From https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274916
MW1.35.0 / Windows Server / IIS / MySQL 5.7
Using vector skin. I am using the following code for the MediaWiki:sidebar page:
*LANGUAGES *PERSONAL *navigation **mainpage|Main Page **Special:Categories|Categories (All) **Category:Consular|Consular **Category:Corporate|Corporate **Category:Development|Development **Category:Diplomacy|Diplomacy **Category:Geographic|Geographic **Category:Global_Issues|Global Issues **Category:Legal|Legal **Category:Missions|Missions **Category:Trade|Trade **Special:AllPages|A-Z index *Support **Help:Contents|Help **User_guidelines|User Guidelines **Wiki_training|Wiki Training **Wiki_suggestions|Suggestions *TOOLBOX
In my MW1.33 instance, the language link was showing up at the top of the sidebar as expected. However, in MW 1.35, the language link is pushed at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Is this a bug?
- Is there a way to move the language link back to the top of the sidebar? Ti infotrad (talk) 21:40, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- I guess that this is part of skin Vector migration and recent development.
- There is a user preference to keep LEGACY Vector which is MW 1.33.
- Future design will be adapted step by step. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 10:32, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- I am already using the legacy vector, makes no difference (can't attach the associated screenshot, unfortunately) Ti infotrad (talk) 22:02, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- For now, fixed it by hardcoding location in

Issues with fresh mediawiki installation.
Hi,
I installed MediaWiki for the first time on my server and noticed a couple of issues. When loading the default page, index.php, the page keeps loading and then gives a "ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR 200". Same thing happens when I try to edit my preferences, and when I click on something like "Skins", the page starts loading but there's no redirect at all, after a while it stays on the same page. I went on the unofficial mediawiki discord to try and solve the issue but nothing seems to be working. One user mentioned the error is related to "api.js" and "in the Selenium testing stuff, which is not normally run by loading a page". There's no special configuration for mediawiki, no extension, skin or anything else. Other websites on the same machine work just fine. Cloudflare works fine on other websites hosted in the same machine too. 62.211.59.45 (talk) 04:52, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Which exact MediaWiki version is this about? Which exact installation steps (URL) were followed? Which webserver software is used? What's shown in the error log of the webserver software when this happens? Malyacko (talk) 08:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Highly likely you've encountered T235554, a known problem with MediaWiki 1.35.
- Please confirm which MediaWiki version you are using plus the other information that Malyacko has indicated as part of the standard 'Post your question' materials. Peculiar Investor (talk) 12:14, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply, but I was able to access the server just today.
- My version is 1.35.1.
- The installation URL (although I'm not sure if that's the information you're asking) was wiki.mydomain.ltd/mw-config/index.php?page=Install. I didn't do anything special during the installation, I only provided a login password, a database table, user, password, and selected couple of standard settings.
- I'm using Apache as a webserver.
- The apache error logs are just a few and 4 days old, but appeared after I started tweaking my configuration to find a possible fix to the previous issue
- "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /webfolder/LocalSettings.php on line 143, referer: wiki.mydomain.tld/index.php/Speciale:Preferenze
- or "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /webfolder/LocalSettings.php on line 143"
- Line 143 contains $wgForceHTTPS = true;
- I thought it was related to redirects at first but that wasn't the case.
- So, nothing relevant in the server logs. 62.211.53.116 (talk) 13:19, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
HOWTO make a single page full open
Hi, I have a restricted WIKI and want to have a single page complete open (editable) to everyone - it is a Brainstorming goal
→ the page: https://nhi1.selfhost.co/wiki/index.php?title=Public_appeal_for_a_LINUX_server_for_everyone
what I have to do? Aotto1968 2 (talk) 09:24, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- See Manual:Preventing access for what is [not] possible. Malyacko (talk) 09:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- I was already on this page - but this is the opposite I want - I understand now that mediawiki seems require a user-account.
- is this right?
- Now, what I have to do - everyone who want to edit this page give an user-account?
- and restrict this user account on this single place ?
- or is there probably an other feature I can use for brainstorming tasks in mediawiki Aotto1968 2 (talk) 09:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- MediaWiki does not require an user account to edit. It depends on the configuration.
- For that particular use case, I'd create a custom namespace, assign a new fake permission to the user group (or sysop, or whatever) if you want only a specific group to edit other pages, and add that fake permission to Manual:$wgNamespaceProtection for all namespaces except the one you want to be editable for all.
- You can also remove the createpage permission to the "*" group and add it only to users, or the groups you want to create pages, so people can not simply create new pages under that namespace. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:54, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
Why many wikis use example.com/wiki/ subdirectory?
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.
Why many wikis use example.com/wiki/ subdirectory?
Why add that "wiki/" sub directory and not present direct URLs?
I understand that subdirectories in URLs are often needed for organization as for storing images, videos, audios, special forms, content-contexts (such as food/clothing/phrama/furniture etc. but I also recognize a recurrent paradigm of organizing regular articles in a "wiki" directory and I don't know why it has become a common practice (and perhaps even a best practice?) in regards to MediaWiki websites.
Thanks for sharing a point of understanding about this, 2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:743F:77B0:6C95:ACC (talk) 11:15, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- You got it already. You would not be able to distiguish between
- I understand the meaning now, I think that instead "wiki" I would name it "wiki_articles" or just "articles".
- BTW, is that on by default? Because in my MediaWiki 1.34.2 Hebrew website paths are like:
example.com/robots.txtexample.com/index.php?title=ערך2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:743F:77B0:6C95:ACC (talk) 12:17, 18 February 2021 (UTC)- @Gib Senf dazu! 2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:743F:77B0:6C95:ACC (talk) 13:05, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- No, it's not default. See Manual:Short URL for configuration, since it requires rewrite rules on the server. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- The /wiki/ part of the URL is unnecessary. As noted above, for short URLs you just need rewrite rules. I think it is only recommended as it is easier to support as people run into fewer problems. Jonathan3 (talk) 21:30, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- You also get less attack surface from bots that try to scan common URLs to find vulnerabilities. If everything is a page from the root, all those scans will end up on a wiki page, which means CPU and database load. A lot more costly than a simple static HTTP 404 error page. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 22:22, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- That's really interesting, and not something I've read or thought of over the years. It seems obvious now. Anyway, too late to change! :-) Jonathan3 (talk) 22:36, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

== Multiple domains for the same wiki ==
I have a brand new mediawiki installation running on awebsite.domain.com via apache on ubuntu 20.04.
Now, I've also created an alias for that website, bwebsite.domain.com. What I would like to achieve is that both awebsite and bwebsite are fully functional, identical copies of one another, but just with different domain names.
I thought all I would have to do is just create a new apache configuration that serves bwebsite.domain.com. That I did, and it works, except some parts of the wiki appear to be broken. In particular, I am using authentication via the PluggableAuth extension. When trying to log in on bwebsite.domain.com, I end up with "Fatal error authenticating user" on awebsite.domain.com.
I have the feeling that this might be because inside LocalSettings.php $wgServer is set to be fixed to awebsite.domain.com. Would it be possible, perhaps via some if statements in LocalSettings.php, to add some code that looks at what the current path is and uses an if statement to set $wgServer?
I tried searching for something like this, but I have not been able to find it. [[Special:Contributions/2A02:A452:64AD:1:34A9:2BB:8A9C:912C|2A02:A452:64AD:1:34A9:2BB:8A9C:912C]] ([[User talk:2A02:A452:64AD:1:34A9:2BB:8A9C:912C|talk]]) 15:31, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
:yes, you can set it based on values in $_SERVER or WebRequest::detectServer() (assuming the latter is still a thing)

Special:RecentChanges, Special:RnadomPage and Special:Categories are all robots.txt excluded, is this a serious SEO problem in your opinion?
I opine that it is:
*Recent Changes page can act as a "second" (and eloquently dynamic) minor sitemap, especially if well served for crawling bots.
*Random Page can induce nice dynamicity to crawling bots, each time the site is being crawled in a general way
*Special Categories might increase the chance of the category tree (and its changes) to be crawled
Why not exclude these from the broader, common, exclusion of special pages in robots.txt in MediaWiki? [[Special:Contributions/2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:A9C1:E404:486D:D5EB|2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:A9C1:E404:486D:D5EB]] ([[User talk:2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:A9C1:E404:486D:D5EB|talk]]) 17:25, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

== My homepage isn't among my website's most linked webpages although harsh linking from logo image and I find it a bit strange ==
I think I have found an SEO problem in MediaWiki (my current version is 1.35.1 but what I will describe below relates to version 1.34.2).
==Background==
According to ''Google Search Console → Links'', non <code>Special:</code> webpages linked via Sidebar menu in my website are the most linked pages in my website (more than any webpage in the website) but the homepage isn't mentioned in that ''Google Search Console'' list and that's weird because the homepage is linked right above the sidebar menu via my website's logo image.
==Opinions==
*In I find it strange that the webpage of my website, linked via the ''logo image link'' isn't counted one of the aforementioned most linked pages; Perhaps this is because the <code>role="banner"</code> attribute and value in the logo image element with <code>#p-logo</code> CSS ID.
*Allegedly, a way to fix this "problem" is to just add a textual link to my homepage in the sidebar menu but then it would case a (somewhat strange) duplication of links to the homepage - one from the logo image and one right under it from the sidebar menu.
==Side note==
*Maybe the developers of Google Search Console deliberately don't consider the homepage as one of the most linked pages and exclude it from the aforementioned list.
==My question==
What do you think about the situation I described and how would you handle it, if at all? [[Special:Contributions/2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:A9C1:E404:486D:D5EB|2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:A9C1:E404:486D:D5EB]] ([[User talk:2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:A9C1:E404:486D:D5EB|talk]]) 18:52, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
:generally links from within your own site dont matter much from SEO perspective, so i wouldnt worry.

:About the lack of text; there is an (automatically created) <code><alt></code> text for the logo image but I am sure you meant for the lack of ''anchor text''.

== Hello! Many issues faced and solved. A working favicon is my white whale. ==
For starters, I put a 32x32 pixel favicon.ico in my root directory, adjacent to my LocalSettings.php. Stil, no favicon turns up.
Then, I used the .ico's source .png. I added $wgFavicon = "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/w.iki.png"; to my LocalSettings.php and still nothing.
What am I missing? Any ideas? [[User:GuacamoleRob|GuacamoleRob]] ([[User talk:GuacamoleRob|talk]]) 10:00, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
:The first thing should have worked. What do you see when you you type (your wiki URL)/favicon.ico into the address bar? Is it displayed? [[User:Jonathan3|Jonathan3]] ([[User talk:Jonathan3|talk]]) 10:55, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
:Great question - I had not checked yet.
:https://usa.abandonedbusiness.club/favicon.ico looks like the file it should!
:Your response is why I posted here. No matter what I google, I see the same two methods for setting the favicon and nothing about troubleshooting this issue. It JUST isn't showing up and obviously, there is a reason but I am out of ideas. I am clueless. [[User:GuacamoleRob|GuacamoleRob]] ([[User talk:GuacamoleRob|talk]]) 16:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

:I use Notepad++, so ultimately what I resorted to was coming back to copy Bawolff's code and pasting it in the line under mine. I realized my mistake is that I'm so noob at PHP. Instead of encapsulating my string with -'- quote marks, I was of course using -"- quote marks.

::just fyi, the difference between ' and " in php is how $ sign and \ is handled.

:In [[Manual:$wgFavicon]] the examples have it as a file path rather than a URL.

:Good note! Thank you.
:So, with that in mind, my first effort was to create an exception rule on Cloudflare for
:/images/2/26/favicon.ico
:allowing that file to be served without security. I flushed the cache while I was there, too. Then, opened an incognito window in my test browser (Which clears cache every time it's closed) and it didn't work. Went through my now typical routine and checked 3 browsers, it didn't work.
:So I changed my $wgServer = to https because I hadn't been introduced to that setting yet. Went to Cloudflare, deleted the exception rule, cleared cache, and repeated verification routine. It still didn't work!
:This issue is simply one of 3 websmithing white whales I'm dealing with right now. '''''<u>White. Whale.</u>''''' This issue just refuses to be solved!
:Also, I can't get the font Trinigan FG to work on any sort of any kind of Wordpress, and I can't get phpBB to install on my IONOS webspace.

:So going to your site on firefox, it seems like the favicon is working.
:However, i do notice that there seems to be some sort of issue with closing the http/2 stream, which makes firefox think the page is still loading and delays showing the favicon. I think there's been some reports of that happening in the past with cloudflare. You could try setting $wgDisableOutputCompression = true; and see if that helps.

:Wow, hey! That's some great feedback! My wiki is seeing a little traffic today (I'm sure most of it from various tech support people I've been in touch with about one thing or the other), so it's refreshing to hear they've been greeted by a site without a bouncing, blank favicon screaming "This website is administered poorly."
:I just checked on Firefox, and boom - there it is! At long friggin' last, Bawolff! One of the white whales is finally on the ship! I can't thank you enough, man. Whoo! That's such a huge relief.
:Any idea why it's still not showing up in Edge OR Opera, though? My main and my test browser both still fail to load the favicon. What's Firefox that those other guys do not?
:I've been using Opera as my primary for years, but a number of smaller things like this keep coming up. I guess it's time to think about moving back to Firefox.

Hello,
i have tried all extensions for the search function, but there is no one, which is really user friendly. (MediaWiki 1.35: CirrusSearch, Adv.Cirr.Sear., ElasticSearch, ...)
Do you guys have any idea to simplify the search method?
Thanks [[User:Onmiy|Onmiy]] ([[User talk:Onmiy|talk]]) 10:15, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

:1. `user-select` is set to none and there element is not expandable/collapsible
:2. I could, but I am asking if its already been done, your sarcastic comment suggests it has not been written
:3. `action=edit` menu label becomes "View source" after changes and the page has message `"This page is locked to prevent accidental data modification while a change propagation update is run."`. There are no outstanding jobs, `action=purge` makes no difference, but restarting php-fpm works once page is reloaded. OPcaching being on or off makes no difference and cache type is `$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL;` [[User:Bluedreamer1|Bluedreamer1]] ([[User talk:Bluedreamer1|talk]]) 15:08, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

== Delete Unused Images With String in Name ==
I'm trying to delete all my unused files that contain a specific string in their name. I have tens of thousands of these images so I don't want to do it by hand, but I also have some unused files mixed in that I want to keep. Luckily the files I want to keep don't contain that certain word in their file name.
Is there any way I can perform this repetitive task? [[Special:Contributions/68.229.117.46|68.229.117.46]] ([[User talk:68.229.117.46|talk]]) 02:55, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
:*You might dig into [[API:Delete]] which will delete pages if the current account has sysop. It can be done with JavaScript or other programming environment.
:*You can use [[API:Lists]] as generator. This enables you to feed the Delete process with lists of pages matching some criteria, e.g. files that contain a specific string in their name. Or you might want to create a category first from those files and inspect for things to be kept, then deleting all category members.
:*Note that this is a logical deletion only, just changing visibility. Those can be undeleted easily. If you want to get rid of binary media data, which might be MB or GB, an SQL operation on database tables might be executed, removing all records belonging to logically deleted files. Be careful, make a backup of database first, and test with limitation on one record only. [[User:Gib Senf dazu!|Gib Senf dazu!]] ([[User talk:Gib Senf dazu!|talk]]) 10:01, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I've encountered unusual behavior with MediaWiki 1.35 where email notifications aren't being sent via edits to pages on a user's Watchlist. Here are the steps I've found that consistently works.

#User A adds a page to their WatchList.
#User B makes an edit to the watched page.
#User B has to refresh or revisit the watched page.

And by the way, should it be safe to delete it? 2001:44C8:4247:5F3C:74FB:D601:8F28:A1CB (talk) 18:15, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

- its used on special:emailuser. I'm not sure why you would expect this to be documented. Are you going through every single message. There are like thousands of them. You can't really delete a message. Deleting the page will revert it to its default value. Generally speaking, if there is no dash in the name its a core message not an extension.

expand the external data within the <display_map>. I get {{{title}}} instead

rebuildimages not moving files into the right subdirectory.
Hello.
We have a wiki that was brought back from the dead using a torrent image archive of 32gb+ (that's compressed).
We ran rebuildimages. That created sub-directories, probably from the image paths of the wiki articles.
Well, we have a lot of images not loading correctly (white space).
Turns out the rebuildimages did not move all the images into their correct subdirecotires.
When you look up the image, it will have the expected sub directory i.e. images/1/1a/hello.jpg
But, the actual file is still in images/hello.jpg.
If you try to reupload the image using the single file uploader, it gives you an overwrite warning, ignoring this warning corrects the image, and stores it in the right subdirectory. But we have 200k+ images, and you cannot overwrite images using uploadWizard.
Is there a way to fix this? A parameter we can run, or a way to set all image paths to use just .../images/?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I think I finished the Internet looking for a solution to this, but I'm out of ideas. Mediawiki works fine up to the moment I add the TestopiaReports to LocalSettings.php, like this:
require_once($IP."/extensions/TestopiaReports/TestopiaReports.php");

periods vs. bullets
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.
A default MediaWiki installation will display unordered lists with periods instead of bullets on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge for Google Android 9 (but unordered lists will display correctly with bullets instead of periods on Opera for Google Android 9). But this issue doesn't seem to happen for Wikimedia wikis (or desktop web browsers). Is there a way to fix this for non-Wikimedia wikis to always display unordered lists with bullets instead of periods for mobile web browsers? Nicole Sharp (talk) 00:27, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- it will probably depend on your skin. Maybe some css is not working. If it works on wikimedia but not on your site it probably means something is wrong with your site. If you include a link maybe someone will be able to figure out why. Bawolff (talk) 05:46, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- There is no custom CSS in place, nor are any custom skins used other then the installation defaults, so the problem is with the default configuration of MediaWiki. I don't know where on MediaWiki I would need to make a change though if unordered lists display correctly on Wikimedia wikis but not on new installations of MediaWiki (with default settings). I also don't know why unordered lists display correctly on Opera for Google Android, but not on any other web browsers for Google Android. I tried using both desktop and mobile modes, and replacing the default font with Google Noto.
https://wiki.nicolesharp.net/Nicole Sharp (talk) 05:58, 27 February 2021 (UTC)- There are different mechanisms depending on skin.
- Desktop Vector bullets are created from https://www.nicolesharp.net/w/skins/Vector/resources/skins.vector.styles/images/bullet-icon.svg
- https://www.nicolesharp.net/wiki/NikkiWiki?useskin=monobook uses https://www.nicolesharp.net/w/skins/MonoBook/resources/images/bullet.svg
- Mobile bullets are traditional HTML. Or: They should be.
- Dots are first attempt to display, until image arrives.
- Perhaps there is some mechanism on that Android preventing access, some adblocking or damaged thing.
- Something is strange with your installation. Do you know MinervaNeue?
- Minerva is not used on https://www.nicolesharp.net/wiki/NikkiWiki?useskin=Minerva but Vector default is kept.
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project%3ASupport%20desk/Flow/2021/02#h-periods_vs._bullets-2021-02-27T00%3A27%3A00.000Z?useskin=Minerva is shifting to mobile design.
- How does your site, or any site, is prepared to switch into Minerva if device is mobile? No idea. WMF farm has some magic device detection capabilities.
- If you are attempting to use Minerva but Minerva is not present and the system falls back to Vector HTML interface but fallback was not told to use https://www.nicolesharp.net/w/skins/Vector/resources/skins.vector.styles/images/bullet-icon.svg respectively then you will get fallback dots. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 20:08, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- There are different mechanisms depending on skin.
- The only major difference between Opera and the other mobile browsers is the Opera VPN, but I disabled the VPN and there was no change on Opera (unordered lists still display correctly with bullets). On Google Chrome for Android 9, I tried disabling adblocking and Lite Mode (Chrome's data saving feature) but no change either (unordered lists still display incorrectly with periods instead of bullets). I also tried disabling on MediaWiki "Use Legacy Vector" but no change there either. I do have Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android, but did not attempt to disable it.
- My first thought was that it could be a Unicode problem, if the phone's fonts cannot display the
•(•) special character, and it was being substituted for an ASCII period (.) instead, but using a local install of Google Noto (on the same domain) for the MediaWiki CSS didn't resolve the problem either. - My phone (a Motorola Moto X4 Android One) might be reaching end-of-life later this year (August 2021) if Motorola doesn't provide an upgrade from Android 9 to Android 10. So if anyone can duplicate this problem with a newer version of Google Android, let me know.
- I tried experimenting with the other skins provided by the default MediaWiki installation, and here are the results I got for displaying unordered lists on Google Android 9:
| Chrome | Edge | Firefox | Opera | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vector | . | . | . | • |
| MonoBook | . | • | • | • |
| Timeless | • | • | • | • |
- I did not realize though that MediaWiki might be loading a bullet image instead of a bullet Unicode character to display unordered lists, but now I can see the variation in bullets between the different skins. So a simple solution maybe for the Vector skin would be to try to display unordered lists with the Unicode bullet character (
•) instead of an image. Not sure if that would work or what would be the best way to implement that. - Nicole Sharp (talk) 03:19, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Perhaps SVG rendering is insufficient in those Android environments?
- I learnt from our technicians that images were chosen to ensure unified appearance over browsers.
- By default, list bullets are created by the browser, from plain HTML.
- Mobile MediaWiki is using this approach.
- A
•character in code is superfluous. It might be missing in user font, or too small and decreasing accessibility, and might be copied when c&p is done for items or entire list. - Monobook, which is older than Vector, has chosen some turquois square bullets, available via image only at that stage of CSS and HTML, about 2003.
- Vector seems to inherit that in 2010.
- HTML5 and recent CSS were implemented in browsers during 2010s.
- Timeless is more contemporary and is using browser style bullets (HTML default).
- A black circle image is funny for people creating a poor man’s night mode, turning background into black and foreground (scripting) into white.
- Looking at your stencil it seems to me that it is reflecting SVG rendering, doesn’t it?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="5" height="13"> <circle cx="2.5" cy="9" r="2.5" fill="#202122"/> </svg>- Does not appear too difficult, but if no direct SVG rendering is present then no image.
- For this reason MediaWiki SVG files are delivered as PNG, as far as I understand those people.
- I do expect that this problem will vanish on upgrading your environment.
- You might use a non-MediaWiki page in your universe and try (I guess the dot will appear as fallback from lack of SVG rendering)
@#<img src="https://www.nicolesharp.net/w/skins/Vector/resources/skins.vector.styles/images/bullet-icon.svg" />#@
- Please note that your Minerva is a Vector. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 09:17, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Meanwhile I digged out phab:T220327 Unordered list styles: Remove special treatment for browsers which don't understand SVG from 2019.
- If the HTML snippet I suggested shows similar appearance under same conditions, the SVG cause has been proven.
- I this case you might try to inject the removed lines of fallback into the respective PHP files on your site. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 18:29, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Solved!! Simply add the following to
LocalSettings.php: $wgVectorResponsive = true; # https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Vector
- The MediaWiki page says that it is experimental, but it should probably be enabled by default for future versions of MediaWiki.

Questions about MediaWiki
Hello, I hope you are doing well.
I would like to create a MediaWiki, however I have several questions:
- I understand that installing MediaWiki is free: however, I wanted to know if this was also the case for creating a site: once we install MediaWiki, it seems to me that the software asks the name of the site we want to create: is it free to create a site?
- I would like to know if it is possible to have "discussion walls" like the one on this page. Are there means of communication on MediaWiki, a bit like forums in parallel with encyclopedic spaces?
Have a nice day, Oxymors (talk) 11:25, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- so we make the software, but you're responsible for getting hosting, which we are not involved in providing. There are some free hosts but generally they are lower quality. Typically people use something like digital ocean that costs $5-$10 a month or AWS. The domain name also costs money, typically around $15/year.
- When testing it out, people often use their own computer for testing (localhost) this is free, but mostly only works on your own computer.
- Some people dont want to host themselves, and get someone else to do it for them. Costs of that can vary a lot depending on who you go with. If its some sort of communal project, miraheze provides that free. Bawolff (talk) 20:33, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- Are you using the MW 1.35 version of the skin as Bawolff mentioned? TiltedCerebellum (talk) 21:07, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- I reverted to version 1.30 and that's when the display issue occurred.
- Version 1.35 had to modify the database I think.
- But I did use an official download. Gennievre (talk) 13:37, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- It's unclear to me what reverted means. You went back to using MW 1.30, using the matching 1.30 version of the skin, and you reverted back to the 1.30 version of the database? (In my understanding, you can't use mismatched versions of things or errors are likely to occur as a result of that). TiltedCerebellum (talk) 19:57, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Excuse me but I am using the google translator.
- A migration from v 1.30 to v 1.35 went wrong (blank page on the home page and numerous warnings). However, I had used an official 1.35 by following the procedure as best as possible.
- So I wanted to go back to version 1.30 with my backups. But it didn't work well since the sidebar is no longer on the left, it is at the bottom of the page.
- I would therefore like to find a normal wiki with version 1.30 and then successfully switch to 1.35 afterwards.
- But I don't know how to fix this sidebar problem.
- Wiki home page is here https://www.gennievre.net/wiki/index.php?title=Accueil Gennievre (talk) 16:48, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'm just a MW user so I'll leave it up to the experts here because there may be several things going wrong with your setup.
- One thing: MW 1.30 is not compatible with the version of PHP you are using (Your Spécial:Version page says you're using 7.3.27). See Compatibility, the highest version of php 1.30 can use is 7.1.x.
- If you use MW 1.30 you need to use the compatible Monobook skin version, as I said above (for some reason your Spécial:Version reports no version number for any of your skins, which makes me wonder if you're using the wrong version of Monobook for MediaWiki 1.30).
- Your extensions also need to match the MW version you are using (if you install MW1.30, your extensions must be 1.30 compatible too), and it may be helpful to disable extensions on setup and re-enable after setup is complete.
- What lines in your LocalSettings.php are you using to (1) load Monobook, and (2) set Monobook as the default skin?
- Did you copy one version of mediawiki over top of the other?
- Sounds like the problem you ran into with MediaWiki 1.35 is the same as the problem you are now having with 1.30? -- If so there may be problems with in your configuration settings in the LocalSettings.php file. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 05:44, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yesssss !
- You may not be an expert, but you are very efficient and your diagnosis was correct.
- I switched back to PHP version 7.1 and it's all good! Thank you so much.
- If I can abuse it, what would be your advice so that I upgrade to version 1.35 of MW without having a problem? Gennievre (talk) 12:47, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Well, check that you were trying to use a compatible php version for that one too (7.4.3+ for 1.35)... I find it strange you had the same exact issue on 2 different versions of Mediawiki. Quite possible you also had the wrong php version there too? Disable extensions on upgrade then re-enable one or two at a time. You can't trust that all in our LocalSettings.php is current and working. Recheking the upgrade manual every time can help prevent skipping over important stuff. Usually I install 1.35 using the web installer as if starting from scratch and let it regenerate a default LocalSettings.php. Then I start adding things back a bit at a time. That helps me to find any outdated code. I also visit each extension page and make sure the configs haven't changed for those too (sometimes they do) and one wrong line of code in LocalSettings.php can also tank everything as well as mismatched versioning. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 06:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- > Well, check that you were trying to use a compatible php version for that one too (7.4.3+ for 1.35).
- My web host offers me PHP 7.4.15 so it should be okay?
- > Disable extensions on upgrade then re-enable one or two at a time.
- How do you deactivate extensions? This is by commenting out the lines wfLoadExtension ('xxxxxx'); in LocalSettings.php?
- > Recheking the upgrade manual every time can help prevent skipping over important stuff.
- There is one step in the update that I don't understand, it's:
- Clear pending jobs
- For performance reasons, some actions in the database are delayed, and are managed by the job queue. Those jobs are stored in database and contain parameters with information about actions it should perform. It's strongly recommended to run those pending jobs before upgrading the wiki, to avoid them failing in case the parameter specification of those jobs change on the new version. Use runJobs.php to run all pending jobs and clear the queue before performing the upgrade. Gennievre (talk) 18:22, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yep, you're right I misread the numbers (I get a little bit number blindness now and then due to my beautiful broken brain ;)
- Yes, I comment out any added (non-bundled) extensions on upgrade because I find often there may be issues with these that's easier to sort out one by one after I've confirmed MW is functioning as expected out of the box (prior to addons)--Helps me narrow down where potential issues might be. Get MW running first out of the box without addons tells me if the problem is with MW and not an extension. If an issue emerges after enabling an extension, that tells me something else.
- For clearing pending jobs, people usually access the command line and do follow: Manual:RunJobs.php. Requires access to command line on your web host, since I have that, I'd log into SSH, navigate to the MediaWiki maintenance directory, then run:
php runJobs.php - You need to consult your web host documentation to see if you have access to command line.
- To check how many jobs are in the queue if you don't have access to command line, you can go to:
- yoursite.com/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics&format=jsonfm TiltedCerebellum (talk) 21:00, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- So if I see this, does that mean I don't have any jobs in the queue?

- "statistics": {

- @TiltedCerebellum I don't think you understand PHP's versioning. See https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-7.php#7.4.16 to see the history of the PHP 7.4 branch. PHP 7.4.15 is most definitely more than the required 7.4.3+. Peculiar Investor (talk) 21:17, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, I misread it myself whilst trying to help lol--Multiple sclerosis kills my brain's ability to see numbers properly sometimes. Consequences of having lesions in that part of my brain. Apologies for that... will edit to fix now that I can actually see it lol. ;)
- At current it is reporting 0 jobs in the queue. Do you not have access to command line?
- Honestly I just follow the MW manual as less can go wrong this way. Most hosts offer command line access, even shared hosts. In the latter case often it's just restricted to your own user directory which usually works fine for average stuff. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 05:33, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you again for this dialogue. I did not understand everything with the command line but I will ask my web host.
- I propose to stop this thread. But I have a new question that I will ask with a new title. Gennievre (talk) 18:51, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Correction of the mis-spelling of Berihn
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.
As the creator of the character Jannah Berihn, I have noticed that the name has been mis-spelt several times on this wiki and would politely request that the errors be corrected. The primary ones can be found here: The HPA Saga - Elite Wiki (alioth.net)
I'm not about to give out my real-world name, but I created and authored Berihn and Longhaul Outpost (LHO) related media at the Elite Bulletin Board Service/System (EBBS) for a number of years, and worked with the artist known as Jonathan Bluestone (who can be found at JD-Bluestone at Deviantart) on the often comically absurd postings that were attributed to Jannah. Most notably the ones which were dialogued at The ELITE Bar and Grill and as a foil to the author of the Norman Mosser materials.
Most notably and other than the mis-spelling of Berihn (prou; Burr-Rinn) is the apparently missing Longhaul Outpost aka LHO, which has been also described in the wiki as ''long haul'' when the former above is the correct usage. LHO was a former Coriolis class station that Berihn purchased and then retro-fitted after it was moved by tugs to the very edge of the Diso System so that it was in Interstellar Space and therefore not under the jurisdiction of the GalCops or any other authority within the Diso System.
From there, Berihn ran the place like a speakeasy, allowed illegal trade with one exception - no slaving. The station was attacked several times by both authorities, and was the scene of a Mosser inspired incident mentioned in the HPA Sagaaaagh when the HPA prematurely went off and took half the station with it and thus ended Berihn's business. The lady herself, the ''Commanderess'' was then reported missing, presumed dead, but she was anything but.

Mediawiki isn't sending confirmation or password reset emails.
Localsettings.php says MediaWiki 1.35.0
I had my friend set my wikis up for me a couple months ago. I haven't hadd issues with email confirmations due to having very few editors. But I've tried to edit the localsettings.php and I can-not get my wiki to send any sort of emails. It doesn't work to confirm my account or reset my password. SungHerSong (talk) 04:05, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- I had the same problem: "
Project:Support desk/Flow/2021/02#h-confirmation_email_failure-2021-02-03T08:46:00.000Z." - Make sure the email address for
$wgEmergencyContactand$wgPasswordSenderinLocalSettings.phpis using the same domain name as where MediaWiki is installed. - Also, should upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35.1 LTS for the latest security updates.
- Nicole Sharp (talk) 04:16, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- My installation of Mediawiki is installed on a server rented through Cloudways. So what email should I be using here?
- I'll have to look into upgrading once I sort out the current issue(s) then. Thanks for the suggestion. SungHerSong (talk) 15:57, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- assuming you are not using $wgSMTP, test the host's mail system. Can you send mail via the commandline mail program? If not, an MTA might not be installed, it might not be configured correctly, there might be a firewall blocking outgoing email, etc. Bawolff (talk) 06:33, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- > test the host's mail system. Can you send mail via the commandline mail program?

Sidebars on both sides of the site
I was wondering if there was a way to add a sidebar to both sides of a site. The default one on the left, and another one on the right that shows the RecentChanges. 2A02:587:B421:3700:9825:5461:ED71:EA54 (talk) 06:24, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Adding redirect for domain starting with www.

So I have in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf some lines like

ServerAlias www.example.wiki
but the www.example.wiki domain doesn't work. So do I do it through apache rewrite rules to get www to work? Wqwt (talk) 09:23, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- "does not work" is very vague. Provide exact error messages. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 15:24, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- the page does not load at all. do you mean like apache logs? Wqwt (talk) 22:09, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- If its a blank white page enable php error reporting and include any php errors.
- If its an apache error (typically this is not a blank white page but a message saying 500) include the apache error log.
- More generally, include any errors from any error log that seem related. Bawolff (talk) 07:20, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Template:Module_rating protect template execution when only reading documentation

Hi all. When I display for example page Template:Module_rating to read the documentation, i would like to suppress the first red header message "Module rating is invalid or not specified." resulting obviously from automatic dummy execution of the template. More of that, the case 'Anything else or if missing' is described in the array below.
Please, which tag structure to use to make template active only when transcluding ?
Thank you. --Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 10:56, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- You can wrap the template contents inside <includeonly></includeonly> to prevent it from executing on the template page itself and only execute when transcluding it. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 15:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Changing namespace constants
I've got a couple of custom namespaces with constants 100-103 inclusive, but now realise I should have been using 3000+ (Extension_default_namespaces). What's the best way to change these? Can I just change the number in the define line or would that break things? Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 14:00, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- if they are custom namespaces you made, 100-103 is the correct range. Bawolff (talk) 21:04, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- I have no plans to use SMW at the minute, but I see that SMW uses those constants for the Relation and Property namespaces. There are warnings (emphasis added):
- The namespaces in 100–199 are reserved for site-specific namespaces, and should not be used by extensions. Many extensions are already using this range, though, so be careful. If you're writing a new extension you should never hardcode any namespaces inside the 100–199 range.
- Namespace numbers between 3000 and 4999 should not be used [for extensions?]; these numbers are reserved for wikis to define their own custom namespaces. Furthermore, care should be taken when selecting numbers under 1000, since this range has historically been quite heavily used by extensions and sites alike (numbers under 200 should probably be avoided altogether).
- Avoid namespace numbers 100–199. These were historically used by both extensions and sites.
- Custom namespaces on sites should use namespace numbers 3000–4999. These should not be used by extensions.
- I'm fairly sure I went for 100+ by following advice at the time, so maybe this is all new.
- If I were to just change the constants now would it cause any problems? Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 10:35, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Smw isnt using them anymore. Im not sure i agree with that page's advice. 100-200 has always been custom. Extensions are not supposed to use that range. Bawolff (talk) 07:16, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've just checked and the page table has a
page_namespacecolumn. After changing LocalSettings.php, would I just need to, for example, change every 100 to 3000, every 101 to 3001, etc? Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 00:20, 2 March 2021 (UTC) - And every other field ending in _namespace. There is a lot of potential for referential integeity issues if you miss a field. Highly reccomend you take a backup before doing this. I would honestly not reccomend doing this unless absolutely neccesary. Bawolff (talk) 07:17, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, I will leave it alone... it looks like Semantic MediaWiki is the only likely overlap and I'm not planning to start using it for as long as Cargo exists.
- Just thinking. Would there be a way of getting rid of the old namespace, using ReplaceText to rename the pages (moving to main namespace), creating the new namespace (same name, different constant), and renaming the pages back again? Jonathan3 (talk) 10:43, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Some problems in the score of CirrusSearch
When I search in en.wikipedia.org with "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&cirrusDumpResult=&cirrusExplain=pretty&search=drug&ns0=1&fulltext=1", I get the result, in which the score is composed of many fields (like all_near_match, text, redirect, title, etc) and the final score is the sum of all fields.
However, when I search in my MediaWiki built locally which installed CirrusSearch and elasticSearch, the score is composed of a parameter, all_near_match and all/all.plain, and the final score is the product of 2 different fields.
I have several questions about this phenomenon.
First, what is the field all/all.plain in my MediaWiki’s result means?
Second, why my MediaWiki’s result doesn’t include other fields like redirect, title, text, etc?
Finally, why the algorithm of score in en.wikipedia.org is different from that in my MediaWiki?
I would appreciate very much if you can help and provide some explanations about the above phenomenon! Jacksonowen401 (talk) 17:21, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
