Error 500 with image uploading
Hello, i don't know if i'm posting this in the right place, but i've recently downloaded MediaWiki to replace my formal (slow) wikipedia system, and everything works great, however i am having a small issue that i seem to be unable to figure out:
The server is a CentOS 8 server, using Plesk for web hosting.
I am trying to upload images, but any image i upload appears as the "Missing image" icon, and when I click to view the image source, the server responds with error 500.
I am unsure why this is happening.
What i've tried:
- Allowing read/write access to the "Images" folder
- Ensured "File_uploading" was on in the php configuration file
- Disabling Cloudflare
- Allowing Read/write access to every folder
It doesn't seem to give me any error messages either, I am kind of stumped.
I hope someone can help me out with this issue, thank you TimeWisely (talk) 04:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

MWException After 1.31.12 to 1.35.1 Upgrade
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I've just upgraded my instance of MediaWiki from 1.31.12 to 1.35.1 and encountered a MWException. I've not found many examples online of the same issue, and any I've found do not have resolutions for me. I've attempted upgrading to 1.33 and 1.34 with similar errors. I am originally coming from a 1.2x version, but had upgraded to 1.31 to deal with upgrading PHP before going to a later version. 1.31 is stable for me. I currently have snapshots and can freely move my VM between working and non working versions. I also have backups should I need to retrieve data from an earlier version.
Version with the error is currently as follows...
| Product | Version |
|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.35.1 |
| PHP | 7.4.15 (cgi-fcgi) |
| MySQL | 5.7.15-log |
I was previously on PHP 7.3.27, but upgraded hoping it would resolve my issue. It did not.
I'm running IIS on Windows Server 2019.
My installation is copied on top of the previous version folder structure. I've done this for years without issue. I've tried running via a clean folder, but could not get the wiki to load whatsoever at that point.
The error I get is as follows...
Original exception: [db2f6cc9dc24371ea2ff7e2a] /index.php?title=Main_Page MWException from line 129 of C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mediawiki\includes\MagicWord.php: Error: invalid magic word 'expectunusedcategory'

I've run update.php, rebuildLocalisationCache.php, and cleanupEmptyCategories.php without any resolution. I've added $wgMessageCacheType = CACHE_NONE and did not resolve either. I have not upgraded the DB, but the version I'm on is listed as compatable with 1.35.
My wiki is internal, but would gladly expose it externally if that would be required to figure out this issue.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! EarthBoundX5 (talk) 10:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

- UPDATE: I found a post related to the skin error suggesting there could be an issue with the extraction of the tarball. I found I was on 2016 version of 7-zip (playing fast and loose with security clearly), and upgraded, re-extracted, moved files over the existing, re-ran mw-config, and got rid of the MagicWord error, but still had the skin error. I dug into the file path and found that the source rar has a file with a partially removed file extension.
- Under...
- .\skins\Vector\includes\FeatureManagement\Requirements\, the file LatestSkinVersionRequirement.p should be named LatestSkinVersionRequirement.php.
- After this correction, my wiki is working again. Although there is some odd behavior with the editor...things are at least functional and thus in the right direction...
- EDIT: The zip download does not have this missing hp from the file name.
- EDIT 2: Reverted snapshot to 1.31.12, and upgraded again from there with the zip for 1.35.1 instead of the tarball. Worked first time. EarthBoundX5 (talk) 09:20, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- 7zip causes problem when extracting some files, because now MediaWiki and extensions tarballs are generated using some gzip extension that's not fully supported by 7zip. If you use WinRar it should extract it correctly, or dowload a zip file instead. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Text only visible to administrators
I'd like to have some text/links within a page visible only to administrators. I don't think this is possible by default. Are there any extensions that would allow this? I can imagine that one might exist to allow the admin-only text to be enclosed in tags. Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 10:29, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- German Wikipedia has defined: de:MediaWiki:Group-sysop.css
- Things you want to hide may be equipped by
class="adminonly" style="display:none;"and will vanish in general but presented to those who undo this by class="adminonly" CSS. Or similar, such CSS is in effect for every named group. - That is rather common, e.g. wrt pages nominated for deletion to provide links to
action=delete, which are pointless and confusing for regular users, but can be utilized by sysops after decision. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 16:54, 1 March 2021 (UTC) - This sounds just right. Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 22:21, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Just keep in mind the text is hidden for normal users but not gone. Don't use this method to hide sensitive info like passwords. Bawolff (talk) 07:10, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. It's pretty much exactly for what Gib mentioned - delete and edit links. Jonathan3 (talk) 10:33, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
I'm trying to access the links form this page: https://www.limspec.com/index.php?title=Category:Specification:All_datasheet_specifications and whichever link i click on, i get the following Internal error:

- Extension:Scribunto#Installation I think talks about this as a scribunto setup step that might have been missed? You can look up how to set file permissions in your web host's documentation if you're not sure how to do that. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 20:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Embed bitmap in svg
When I try to upload a svg file with an embedded bitmap I get the following error.
<a> elements can only link (href) to data: (embedded file), http:// or https://, or fragment (#, same-document) targets. For other elements, such as <image>, only data: and fragment are allowed. Try embedding images when exporting your SVG. Found <image http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink:href="video-editing_introduction_screen-layout.png">.
Uploading a svg file without embedded bitmap works just fine.
I like to non-destructively annotate bitmap images, eg. screenshots by embedding them into an svg and then annoting them in Inkscape. This is a non-destructive workflow instead of painting the annotations directly on the bitmap. In that case, changing one (text) annotation requres that you change them all.
Is there a solution for this non-destructive annotation? Hugsch (talk) 13:22, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- There is some sanitizing mechanism, since SVG has security leaks which might be exploited to run hidden scripts.
- Furthermore I recall that our media people are not happy about bitmap hiding within SVG, which let people expect a tiny SVG but inside there is a huge blob.
- I guess MediaWiki will not create leaks in security concept to satisfy your desire.
- There are other mechanisms available to annotate images, look e.g. at English Wikipedia for old Imagemap feature and more recent Annotated Image jigsaw. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 17:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Found the solution myself.
- In Inkscape you can link or embed a bitmap. You have to select "Embed" in the File > Import dialog box. Copy and paste from the clipboard will automatically embed the bitmap. Hugsch (talk) 20:49, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- It's for security reasons, as a well crafted SVG file could load malicious remote code by this. You likely do not want to change that for your own safety. Malyacko (talk) 06:32, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- The primary reason is that in the original you were referencing a file that was separate from the svg. We require all svgs to be self-contained. Bawolff (talk) 07:07, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
1.35 Installation Fatal Error
Hi, i get following error when trying to install (fresh install) mediawiki 1.35 on synology nas:
Fatal error: Cannot declare class Maintenance, because the name is already in use in /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance/includes/Maintenance.php on line 55
Any ideas? 46.223.129.6 (talk) 13:55, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- The folks here would probably need more debugging information to help you with that. Also, they'd need more information about your setup such as the info asked for in this page's sidebar: Project:Support desk/Header/en
- Manual:How to debug TiltedCerebellum (talk) 20:53, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hardware:
- Synology NAS DS218+ with DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3
- Apache Server 2.2.34
- MariaDB 10.3.21
- PHP 7.3.16
- Media Wiki 1.35.1
- Im afraid i cant manually debug it since i cannot even install it... 46.223.129.6 (talk) 06:07, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- My guess would be that something is corrupted/broken in your mediawiki install. I would reccomend getting a new copy of mediawiki from official sources and trying again.
- Note: if using the synology package, we dont maintain that package and can only answer questions about the official version. Bawolff (talk) 07:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Ok i get back in touch with the synology support.
- I´ll report any findings. 46.223.129.6 (talk) 08:33, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- The synology support is pointing at the media wiki devs, since the package was succesfully installed on my Disk Station but the
- setup of the media wiki itself is leading to this error... 46.223.129.6 (talk) 08:18, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Have you tried installing from official MW sources instead and following the corresponding guides, just thinking that way you can get support here? TiltedCerebellum (talk) 01:00, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- I installed it manually via the web station on the synology and that worked fine.
- I guess they need to check the package that THEY are distributing... 46.223.129.6 (talk) 05:29, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

MediaWiki Browser Issues
I have a MediaWiki that only works when I open it on Firefox. You can see the site here:
http://www.lightmatterinteraction.com/lmiwiki/index.php/Main_Page
I have tried this site on Chrome, Edge, Explorer and Chromium and was not able to see the proper page. I am not sure what the issue is and I am very new to php and SQL type issues. Has anyone seen this issue before? Can anyone point me in the right way as to how to debug this issue?
The domain is registered with GoDaddy which hosts the site using cPanel. I created the instance of MediaWiki with cPanel's Installatron. The only file I have touched is LocalSettings.php which I added (the lines have now been commented):
# This snippet prevents new registrations from anonymous users
# (Sysops can still create user accounts)
#$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
# Disable reading line, for anonymous (not-logged-in => * ) :
#$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
I also added a couple of lines about display the php errors, but I have since deleted, because they did not give me any information.
It might be worth noting that I made all edits to the wiki pages with FireFox. This is MediaWiki ver 1.35.1. Any advice would be great, thanks.

Installing Ads on Media Wiki with Hook
Hello. I am trying to integrate the open source Revive ad server with MediaWiki 1.35.1. I need to put the following code, for example:
<ins data-revive-zoneid="1" data-revive-id="1ff718e019675202116618d59bb87e4d"></ins>
<script async src="//adserver.newtooslo.com/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script>
Into here:
$wgHooks['SkinAfterContent'][] = function ( &$data, Skin $skin ) {$data .= '
***I INSERT THE CODE HERE VERBATIM***
';
};
But to no avail. I think I did get this to work correctly but this does not work, just a blank page:
$wgHooks['SkinAfterContent'][] = function ( &$data, Skin $skin ) {$data .= '
<ins data-revive-zoneid="1" data-revive-id="1ff718e019675202116618d59bb87e4d"></ins>
<script async src="//adserver.newtooslo.com/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script>
';
};
Thanks,

- Blankpage means php error. See How to debug to make them show up.
- For this, i would suggest trying to do the string as one line (the opening ' on same line as closing '). Im not sure php lets string literals expand across multiple lines. The html should be fine being all one line. Bawolff (talk) 01:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Fatal exception of type MWException
Hello,
Working on a documentation where the owner installed MediaWiki and have given me permissions to add new pages and content. It was working okay, but now it gives the following error.
Fatal exception of type MWException
Can anyone help me out with this? I am quite new to the product.
Thanks! 2405:201:19:D016:11F5:B58:9B44:C9D4 (talk) 13:31, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Special characters in Title
Hello,
I'm looking for using special characters like : "[" or "]" to use a system as tag in Title of my different pages.
When I tried to use one in Title, I get the following message : ...It may contain one or more characters that cannot be used in titles.
Is there some tips to use those characters in a Title ?
Thanks for your answer MorenoPierre (talk) 14:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- As documented on Manual:Page title, "[" and "]" are on purpose banned from titles because otherwise you wouldn't be able to link to it from another page. While you can customize
$wgLegalTitleChars, I don't think that will work for the brackets, due to its special meaning. - Have you considered storing the name with brackets as a separate value? For example, for Wikipedias, "iPhone" is not a legal title (as it starts without an upper case) but it is printed as such with the use of templates and javascript: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone JCrespo (WMF) (talk) 15:16, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, I like to have 4 or 5 differents tags like [DEV] [TEST] [Metr] [PAC], and I don't know how to make same thing like "iPhone" page in Wikipedia ? with templates and javascript ? Can you explain me please ? MorenoPierre (talk) 15:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- I am sorry, I gave you outdated advice. iPhone uses DISPLAYTITLE magic word to update its title, not javascript. Sadly that only allows for case changes and underscores.
- I think you would be able to add brackets (I have not tested it) with an extension such as Extension:Display Title. JCrespo (WMF) (talk) 15:57, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- If you set $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false; you can put anything in the display title including []. Bawolff (talk) 01:43, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- This is definitely possible if the text in the square brackets is predictable. You can use round brackets in the title e.g.
Page name (TEST)and use a regular expression to spot when to convert them to square brackets using DISPLAYTITLE e.g.Page name [TEST]. I can't remember how exactly, but hope this message gives you hope while I look into it for you. Jonathan3 (talk) 17:17, 2 March 2021 (UTC) - Ok, it's an extension containing this bit of code. It probably isn't the most efficient way of doing it. You could probably replace the pattern_needs_square function with a simple regex string in your case.
- Jonathan3 (talk) 17:26, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
public static function onParserBeforeStrip ( &$parser, &$text, &$strip_state ) { #This converts page title headers from round to square brackets $title_old = $parser->getTitle(); $title_new = preg_replace( self::pattern_needs_square(), "[" . "$1" . "] " . "$2" , $title_old); if ($title_new!=$title_old) { $text = $text . "{{DISPLAYTITLE:" . $title_new . "}}"; } } - If you add this to LocalSettings.php it converts (TEST) in a page title to [TEST], and the same for DEV, Metr and PAC - hope it works for you :-) I've only tested it out on an old MW 1.27.1 wiki.
- Jonathan3 (talk) 23:34, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
function convertTitle ( &$parser, &$text, &$strip_state ) { $title_old = $parser->getTitle(); $title_new = preg_replace( '~\((TEST|DEV|Metr|PAC)\)~', "[$1]" , $title_old ); if ( $title_new != $title_old ) { $text .= "{{DISPLAYTITLE:$title_new}}"; } } $wgHooks['ParserBeforeStrip'][] = 'convertTitle'; - Thanks a lot Jonathan3, I tried to do it, but that still don't work. Maybe I did something wrong.
- I put your function convertTitle() in my LocalSettings.php and when I try to create a page (TEST) , it doesn't convert it.
- Thanks for your answer MorenoPierre (talk) 15:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- I see you marked this as complete - how did you end up getting it to work?
- Did you notice Bawolff's advice on improving the code, in Project:Support desk/Flow/2021/03#h-What_hook_should_I_use_instead_of_ParserBeforeStrip?-2021-03-09T23:38:00.000Z? Jonathan3 (talk) 21:37, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Your function work well, I just made bad things first time. Your function is exactly what I need ! Thanks a lot @Jonathan3 MorenoPierre (talk) 09:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'm pleased to hear that. You'll note from Project:Support desk/Flow/2021/03#h-What_hook_should_I_use_instead_of_ParserBeforeStrip?-2021-03-09T23:38:00.000Z that it'll stop working in MW 1.36 because of the hook used (I'm sure there's another suitable one) and there is a better way of doing it in any event :-) Jonathan3 (talk) 20:27, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
ldap groupsync not working after upgrade for existing accounts
we are attempting to upgrade from 1.19.1 on an old server with php 5.4.16 to 1.35.1 on a new server with php 7.3.20, the database is mysql community 5.7.31
as such we are changing from this ldap extension - Extension:LDAP Authentication to the current ldap stack that works on 1.35.1
we have configured 1.35.1 to point to a copy the old version database and to run update.php without the ldap extensions enabled which seem to go through fine, we then enabled all the new ldap extensions and re ran update.php, the ldap_domains table is created
we have configured groupsync with mappedgroups that works correctly for accounts that do not already exist in the wiki and they show up in the ldap_domains table and are added to the right local groups, anyone who already had an account in the wiki is not added to ldap_domains table when they log in and thus the groupsync does not add them to right local groups
is there something we need to remove / change on existing accounts so the groupsync works for existing accounts short of manually adding them to the ldap_domains table which does workaround the problem
we have also tested this configuration on a clean fresh site and the groupsync works for everyone including those whos does not work on the upgraded one
thanks Xethina (talk) 05:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- follow up, looking in the debug log there are these two entries for a new account after the upgrade
- [DBQuery] MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\UserDomainStore::getDomainForUser [0.001s] sci-mysql01.compute.dc.uq.edu.au: SELECT domain FROM `ldap_domains` WHERE user_id = 779 LIMIT 1
- [DBQuery] MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\UserDomainStore::setDomainForUser [0.001s] sci-mysql01.compute.dc.uq.edu.au: INSERT INTO `ldap_domains` (domain,user_id) VALUES ('uq.edu.au',779)
- the INSERT one does not appear for existing accounts when they login after the upgrade, they get two SELECTS
- [DBQuery] MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\UserDomainStore::getDomainForUser [0.001s] sci-mysql01.compute.dc.uq.edu.au: SELECT domain FROM `ldap_domains` WHERE user_id = 777 LIMIT 1
- [DBQuery] MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\UserDomainStore::getDomainForUser [0.001s] sci-mysql01.compute.dc.uq.edu.au: SELECT domain FROM `ldap_domains` WHERE user_id = 777 LIMIT 1
- so it looks like the insert only happens for new accounts when it is created and not for existing accounts even if the select will return nothing Xethina (talk) 06:08, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Update files
Hello all,
I use MediaWiki 1.35 and use the "Upload a new version of this file" function to update uploaded files in the wiki without having to constantly create them with a new name.
I noticed that after the update, the file remains unchanged. Only when I select the file and refresh the page where the file is located, the current version is shown to me. Is there any way to show the file directly without refreshing the page again?
I would be happy if someone could help me.
THANKS

Passwords must be at least 10 characters
Mediawiki 1.35.0, LocalSettings.php has
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;
But when I try to change my (administrator account) password, I get the red text 'Passwords must be at least 10 characters', and it won't accept the 8 character password I want Vicarage (talk) 11:29, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- That is the 'default' only as the name suggests. Any more specific policy will override it. You're being asked for 10 because that's the requirement for users in 'sysop' group.
- You must to change it there too:
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;. If you're in interface-admin or bureaucrat groups you must also change it for each group. – Ammarpad (talk) 12:57, 4 March 2021 (UTC) - That occurred to me, though its hardly obvious, as a default I specify should override something set inside code so I added the lines to correspond to Special:ActiveUsers
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['administrator']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['interface administrator']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['bureaucrat']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;
- And nothing changed. I even added sysop, in case that was some daft hidden group
- Only by editing includes/DefaultSettings.php and changing all the 10s to 8s did I manage to beat it into submission. Grrrr Vicarage (talk) 15:35, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies'] = ['default' => ['MinimalPasswordLength' => 8]];- Alternatively, you can put var_dump( $wgPasswordPolicy); die(); at the very end of LocalSettings.php to figure out the final value and see if its what you expect. Bawolff (talk) 17:10, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- There's no group 'administrator', so that line would not do any anything. The canonical name of the group is 'sysop'. You're not supposed to edit DefaultSettings.php. You better copy the relevant lines to LocalSettings.php – Ammarpad (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Basic information
- Username:John:
- Member of groups:Administrators, Autoconfirmed users, Bureaucrats, Interface administrators, Users
- No sign of sysop here
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies'] = [ 'default' => ['MinimalPasswordLength' => 12];
- makes my system lock up. I will stick with editing includes/DefaultSettings.php and moaning Vicarage (talk) 18:45, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- "No sign of sysop here"
- Sysop is the technical name of the administrators group in the software. The 'human' name value of it is "Administrator". This fact is arguably so well hidden in the interface these days, that it is hard to know if you don't know about the old name. A place where you can still see it is in the url of list users: Special:ListUsers/sysop
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies'] = [ 'default' => ['MinimalPasswordLength' => 12];
- [] need to be balanced. you are missing a ] at the end there. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 20:58, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Mediawiki seems very confused over Administrator vs sysop. If the public face of the role is Administrator, why do urls and documentation like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#List_of_groups talk about 'sysop' and 'bureaucrat' when an installer could imagine both administering things.
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPasswordPolicy is as confused as anywhere. Vicarage (talk) 11:58, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Maybe you solved this by now but if someone else struggle with this like I did today, here's what worked for me (added to LocalSettings.php):
- ## Change MinimalPasswordLength
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['sysop']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['interface-admin']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8;
- $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['bureaucrat']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 8; 158.174.93.211 (talk) 18:03, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I yesterday installed a local copy of mediawiki and have the same problem as @Vicarage. I have set the the dump as recommended by @Bawolff. Result is:
array(2) { ["policies"]=> array(5) { ["bureaucrat"]=> array(2) { ["MinimalPasswordLength"]=> int(6) ["MinimumPasswordLengthToLogin"]=> int(1) } ["sysop"]=> array(2) { ["MinimalPasswordLength"]=> int(6) ["MinimumPasswordLengthToLogin"]=> int(1) } ["interface-admin"]=> array(2) { ["MinimalPasswordLength"]=> int(10) ["MinimumPasswordLengthToLogin"]=> int(1) } ["bot"]=> array(2) { ["MinimalPasswordLength"]=> int(10) ["MinimumPasswordLengthToLogin"]=> int(1) } ["default"]=> array(5) { ["MinimalPasswordLength"]=> int(6) ["PasswordCannotBeSubstringInUsername"]=> array(2) { ["value"]=> bool(true) ["suggestChangeOnLogin"]=> bool(true) } ["PasswordCannotMatchDefaults"]=> array(2) { ["value"]=> bool(true) ["suggestChangeOnLogin"]=> bool(true) } ["MaximalPasswordLength"]=> array(2) { ["value"]=> int(4096) ["suggestChangeOnLogin"]=> bool(true) } ["PasswordNotInCommonList"]=> array(2) { ["value"]=> bool(true) ["suggestChangeOnLogin"]=> bool(true) } } } ["checks"]=> array(6) { ["MinimalPasswordLength"]=> string(48) "PasswordPolicyChecks::checkMinimalPasswordLength" ["MinimumPasswordLengthToLogin"]=> string(55) "PasswordPolicyChecks::checkMinimumPasswordLengthToLogin" ["PasswordCannotBeSubstringInUsername"]=> string(62) "PasswordPolicyChecks::checkPasswordCannotBeSubstringInUsername" ["PasswordCannotMatchDefaults"]=> string(54) "PasswordPolicyChecks::checkPasswordCannotMatchDefaults" ["MaximalPasswordLength"]=> string(48) "PasswordPolicyChecks::checkMaximalPasswordLength" ["PasswordNotInCommonList"]=> string(50) "PasswordPolicyChecks::checkPasswordNotInCommonList" } }- From my perspective it shows the param is set and accepted.
- But still, when trying to change the password for a user (the only user created as admin during setup), i get the message the minimum password length is 10.
$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 6; $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['bureaucrat']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 6; $wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['sysop']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 6;
- Any idea why this happens?
- Regards
- Kallewirsch
- Upate:
- when writing the reply I reconcnized the user created during setup might be of role "interface-admin" (makes sense). I added this to the params and now it works for the user where I tested it. KHFischbach (talk) 07:29, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Issues with Installing WikiBase
I have been having issues with installing wikibase (required for infoboxes)
I believed I followed the instructions correctly, however, following the installation my wiki goes to a white screen. Upon turning on error reporting I get the following error :
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Wikimedia\AtEase\AtEase' not found in /home/archive.xxxxxxx.org/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:171 Stack trace: #0 /home/archive.xxxxxxx.org/includes/GlobalFunctions.php(88): ExtensionRegistry->queue('/home/...') #1 /home/archive.xxxxxxx.org/LocalSettings.php(133): wfLoadSkin('MonoBook') #2 /home/archive.xxxxxxx.org/includes/Setup.php(143): require_once('/home/...') #3 /home/archive.xxxxxxx.org/includes/WebStart.php(89): require_once('/home/...') #4 /home/archive.xxxxxxx.org/index.php(44): require('/home/...') #5 {main} thrown in /home/archive.xxxxxxx.org/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php on line 171

Send notifications to all registered users in a wiki
Is there a extension or something else, that can send a notification to all users? I already tried to use the Extension:Newsletter, but I don't know how to subscribe every user to a newsletter.

Hide and reveal specific pages depending on user
We are creating a privately hosted wiki for a television series in development. We would like different user logins to hide and reveal different iterations of a few pages.
For example on a page with an Infobox television character template, I will have three tabs with three actor's names who are being considered for casting. We would like it so that each actor's representation would be directed to a page where their client is first choice.
Would multiple instances of the wiki be the best route or would something like the AccessControl extension work or does that just restrict access and visibility to certain pages?
Any help being pointed into the right direction would be great. This is a limited, private, wiki and it would be read only for all users aside from a few admins.
Thanks,

run create_pygmentize_bundle using local Pygments installation
Hello there,
My goal is add syntax highlighting for my own language. In order to do that, I installed Pygments on my local machine and added my own lexer file (mylexer.py). Since I don't want to pull request the lexer, how do I edit the create_pygmentize_script so it uses the locally installed Pygments to create the bundle? 68.129.140.104 (talk) 04:57, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Iframe Mobile Mediawiki Issue
Hi community ! Sorry for my bad English :p
I'm at the end of a long search about "iframe" for MediaWiki. I explain my issue, I would like to integrate mediawiki with the mobile version on pc with the href ending by "&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile". It's works and it's cool. But there is one problem, when I open a link in this iframe :
* In Firefox, perfect ! It opens the link with the mobile skin.
* In Chrome, game over ! The link is open with the pc skin.
Somebody knows if there is an iframe option on mediawiki about this problem ? And maybe somebody knows a way to fix it !
Thank you so much in advance for your help.
And have a nice weekend ! :) Pracarta (talk) 09:33, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Finally, Is not perfect on Firefox, because even if the Minerva Neue is deactivate, Mediawiki work with this skin. Pracarta (talk) 10:22, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- maybe SameSite cookie related (chrome defaults to lax, firefox defaults to none, but is eventually going to copy chrome).
- Have you considered just setting $wgDefaultSkin = "minerva"; (not entirely the same thing as mobile site, its using the mobile skin but the desktop site. There is probably some config you can use to disable autodetection and just use mobile always) Bawolff (talk) 19:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks you for your advise
- Hum, It could be an good idea.
- but now MediaWiki send me (only for MediaWIki in iframe) this :
- Oups ! L’habillage par défaut pour votre wiki, défini par
$wgDefaultSkincommeMinervaNeue, n’est pas disponible. - Votre installation semble inclure les habillages suivants. Voyez le manuel de configuration des habillages pour savoir comment lesactiver et choisir celui par défaut.
minervaneue/ MinervaNeue (désactivé)monobook/ MonoBook (activé)timeless/ Timeless (activé)vector/ Vector (activé)
- Si vous venez juste d’installer MediaWiki
- Vous l’avez probablement installé depuis git, ou directement depuis le code source avec une autre méthode. C’est normal. Essayez d’installer des habillages depuis le répertoire des habillages de mediawiki.org, en :
- Téléchargeant le fichier tar du programme d’installation, qui comprend plusieurs habillages et extensions. Vous pouvez copier et coller le répertoire

- Téléchargeant des habillages avec Git.
- Téléchargeant le fichier tar du programme d’installation, qui comprend plusieurs habillages et extensions. Vous pouvez copier et coller le répertoire
- Faire ainsi ne devrait pas interférer avec votre dépôt git, si vous êtes un développeur de MediaWiki.
- Si vous venez juste de mettre à jour MediaWiki
- MediaWiki 1.24 et au-delà n’active plus automatiquement les habillages installés (voyez le manuel sur la découverte automatique des habillages). Vous pouvez coller la ligne suivante dans

Malformed json in latest Wikidata dump
Hi,
I have a script to extract entities from Wikidata dumps, that I've been running successfully for years.
The last time I ran it, on current latest-all.json.bz2 (03-Mar-2021 14:10, size 63323125695), it complained about a malformed json:
ijson.common.IncompleteJSONError: parse error: after array element, I expect ',' or ']'
:[]}},"lastrevid":1374358285}{"type":"item","id":"Q27","labe
(right here) ------^
The script runs multiple threads in parallel, so it's able to "crash" on some threads while continuing on others, so I noticed that the error happens not only at that point, but also in a couple more places through the json.
I'm currently downloading the version that is .gz (rather than .bz2) to try running on it (not very hopefully, to be honest). Does anyone know why is this happening? Has there been changes on how Wikidata dumps are generated, or maybe it was just an error on this particular dump?
The last succesfully extraction happened at the beginning of January, on a .bz2 with size 61247031499 (I'm not able to find it in the dumps page) Motagirl2 (talk) 12:42, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Motagirl2 I am seeing the same issue with the last 2 wikidata JSON dump files: 20210222/wikidata-20210222-all.json.bz2 and latest-all.json.bz2. The downloaded files match the md5sums however I am seeing the following errors when parsing the JSON files:
- latest-all.json.bz2 (dated Mar 3 14:10):
- error reading separator after document #11554732: bad JSON array format - found '{' outside JSON object/array in input source
- wikidata-20210222-all.json.bz2 (dated Feb 24 10:42):
- error reading separator after document #11546033: bad JSON array format - found '{' outside JSON object/array in input source
- The latest dump file that I was able to successfully parse was 20210215/wikidata-20210215-all.json.bz2 (dated Feb 17 18:03).

- If using ubuntu. https://superuser.com/questions/437330/how-do-you-add-a-certificate-authority-ca-to-ubuntu
- Or instead of using a selfsigned cert get one from letsencrypt. Its free, after all. Bawolff (talk) 14:06, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello,
- After many days of search, I have finally figured out what was my problems.
- I have upgraded my wiki version from 1.32.6 to 1.35.1 and VE didn't work.
- I use a private wiki / centos 7 (on vagrant actually, in order to test the upgrade).
- Steps in order to solve my many VE errors (404 or couldn't resolve hostname or certificate issue) :
- - removed previous installation of parsoid
- - removed all lines in LocalSettings related to parsoid and VE (wgVirtualRestConfig, wgDefaultUserOptions, etc...) except "wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );".
- - add "127.0.0.1 mydomain.com" in /etc/hosts
- - generate selft certificate
- - add my crt file in php.ini (curl.cainfo).
- And now it works perfectly.
- Hope this will help people who were stuck like me.

Redirect when filename.pdf linked to from outside wiki
Sometimes people link to a pdf (or other file) when I'd prefer them to link to the related wiki page.
Is there any way to detect that the pdf is not being accessed via a wiki page, and redirect to another page. The other page could be the File: page, or some sort of iframe/frame that has some information along the top of the screen and the PDF in the main part of the screen. I'm not 100% sure what I have in mind so please let me know if you'd like me to clarify anything. Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 21:09, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

username stolen
Hello everyone,
For internet privacy etc. I have always used "Funatiq" as my name on the internet and social media. I wanted to make sure that if someone recognized the name Funatiq thay new it's me, so a made a "sub- / backup- name" Funatiq_ (I would use that if someone already picked Funatiq).
Before I decided to use that as my name I checked almost every social media and even game's and launchers if that name was aviable, and it was!
Now when I try to make an account it says that both names are already in use, which is extremely unlikely, so I tryed to login and it says its not registered yet but also showed me an option to see the info about the account.
The acount has been made on May 15 2020 and is conected to 3 other accounts. The account has not been active since then.
I feel like someone took the user name just to steal it from me, and since it's not being used I would like to take that user name and use it for improving wikipedia.
Can someone help me with this, or tell me how to contact wikipedia?
Kind regards, Funatiq

- Hi. The software converts underscores in titles (such as user names) to spaces for various reasons, and spaces at the end of titles are stripped, so 'Funatiq' and 'Funatiq_' are treated as the same name. For usurping an existing account name, see meta:Steward requests/Username changes. Thanks. Taavi (talk!) 11:16, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

- I'll look into that. I suppose then it doesn't matter so much which hook gets used. Thank you yet again! Jonathan3 (talk) 10:33, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

iframe works in Firefox, not Chrome
Hello all!
I have a wiki (Mediawiki v1.35.1) that works when unframed – that is, when not embedded as an iframe.
When iframed, the wiki login form:
…works with:
- Firefox, 85.0 Linux
- Firefox, 86.0 Windows
…and does NOT work with:
- Chrome, 89.0 Windows
“Not working” means authentication is blocked and this error is displayed:
There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form."
I suspect clickjacking defenses are involved.
My Apache (v2.4.6) headers:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header set Content-Security-Policy "frame-ancestors 'self' *.shotgunstudio.com"
Header unset X-Frame-Options
shotgunstudio.com is the embedding domain. Both my wiki and shotgunstudio have valid SSL.
My wiki LocalSettings.php settings:
$wgEditPageFrameOptions = false;
$wgApiFrameOptions =false;
$wgCookiePrefix = "wiki";
$wgBreakFrames = false;
I am especially puzzled by the difference between Firefox and Chrome.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Sincerely,
Wellington Winterbeef (talk) 22:50, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Seems more likely to be due to different default values for the SameSite flag for cookies between firefox and chrome. Especially if chrome works the second time around Bawolff (talk) 03:12, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Capitalize Privacy Policy
Pardon my OCD, but how do I capitalize the 'P' in policy in the footer where the link says Privacy policy. Every other link capitalizes each major word, except for this link. Petty, but it drives me nuts! 2601:248:C201:BF50:B06A:28EC:51A1:A240 (talk) 00:59, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

How to connect a backend CMS-agnostic contact form to MediaWiki?
I have an all-core MediaWiki 1.35 website (no addons installed) and I don't want to use the Special:EmailUser nor do I want to install any (MediaWiki) CMS-gnostic module such as Extension:ContactPage or any other but I still need a backend contact form solution.
To prevent an "XY problem" I could just as well stop here and ask "how would you solve that problem", but that case is a bit more complicated because let's say I have some nice backend CMS-agnostic form built with PHP or Node.JS or whatever and I want to to put it on the same infrastructure of MediaWiki (so it won't be a cloud form but a local form) and I want to refer users to it from the site's main navigation menu after which a user will be redirected to that form and after submission the user would be redirected back to the previous page.
How do I even start to implement such a thing? Please share some opinions or hints about what to with that and how to start. 2001:44C8:4559:7759:6DE2:ADEC:235D:C9A5 (talk) 07:14, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- you want to link to a non-mediawiki endpoint on the same server from the sidebar? See manual:sidebar Bawolff (talk) 07:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- A "contact us" link should indeed appear in the sidebar but I am not sure where to link it to.
- I don't want to create an HTML contact form either as a mediawiki endpoint or as a
.htmlfile non-mediawiki endpoint because it will probably save data to my own database which I avoid to prevent SQL injections or it would have to include my email address in the HTML source output because then spambots could easily "attack" my email address. - This is why I feel lost and don't know what approach to take and looking for some hints. 2001:44C8:4559:7759:6DE2:ADEC:235D:C9A5 (talk) 08:30, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

- Just search the internet for "php contact form". Once you've written the form, you can just link to it from the sidebar. It wouldn't have to save data to a database or expose your email address. Jonathan3 (talk) 11:37, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Okay, I understand now,
- Creating a new directory inside my MediaWiki web application root
- Naming the new directory as, say, "cms-agnostic-contact-form" (or just an abbreviation such as "cacf")
- In the new directory, creating an HTML file for the form structure, a JavaScript file for the form frontend behavior, a CSS file for the form styles and some backend (most probably PHP) file for the form backend behavior and get all up and running from an infrastructure stanpoint and alike.
- Linking to the HTML file from my main menu
- I am working on it, thanks a bunch ! 2001:44C8:4559:7759:843F:4EAB:11BF:9DAD (talk) 10:35, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

- I had the exact same problem. Maybe this will help someone stumbling on this page. My LocalSettings.php which I copied from an old setup had UTF-8 encoding with BOM. After removing the BOM the issue was gone for me.
- So you could check with Notepad++ for the encoding of your LocalSettings.php. If it shows UTF-8 BOM, you might have the same problem. In this case convert it to UTF-8 wihtout BOM. 91.249.177.34 (talk) 15:20, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- This looks like a configuration error. Maybe your redirect rules are intercepting the request to Parsoid, or there's something pointing to a wrong URL Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:40, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
wikipedia.org
Hi! I would like to make a similar website as "wikipedia.org" i.e. it has all the language versions of Wikipedia and a search bar. I can't find the source code for this website anywhere (even on GitHub) so I thought I'd ask here where could I get the source code for the website? And Google’s source code tool doesn’t help because it doesn’t provide more specific (PHP codes) for security reasons. I would think such files are publicly visible on Wikimedia because you have open source.
Thank you for the answers in advance and thank you for the effort you have seen! 193.185.246.137 (talk) 15:14, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- If you're looking to have a website that uses the same backend/interface as Wikipedia, all you need to do is download MediaWiki (whose source code is publicly available) and the associated extensions that Wikipedia uses. Some of your ideas (such as languages) will need some work.
- Edit: I misread your comment, see Pppery's reply below (thanks). Leaderboard (talk) 18:52, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Job Queue won't clear, runJobs halts on errors MW1.31
I've inherited a MW 1.31 install on a Win2016 WAMP server.
I haven't worked on a MW server in several years, so I'm not sure if this might be a known issue that was already corrected. showJobs reports over 5000 jobs outstanding, some from 2016. If I try runJobs, the number of jobs will vary, but never go down significantly.
I've tried running runJobs several times and 3 times out of 4, it will return with the following error (or some variation):

- This won't be the official answer, but I'd just delete everything in the jobs table, update MediaWiki, extensions etc, and hope for the best after that. On second thoughts, maybe just delete the rows that are of the type that cause that error and try runJobs.php again first... Jonathan3 (talk) 22:38, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Check what your commandline version of php is (often this is different than the web version). If its super old update it. If its php8, make sure your copy of cirrus is new enough because php 8 had some minor back compat breaks. Bawolff (talk) 01:26, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Custom bulletpoints
Hello,
I would like to create an unnumbered list with custom bulletpoints. For what i have found, you need to modify MediaWiki:common.css to achive that. Also you need to create a template. So i have uploaded an image "custom-bullet.png", if have created a template "custom-list", and i have modified common.css. I have cleared my cache:
Mediawiki:common.css
/* Custom list-style */
.custom-list li {
list-style-image: url('custom-bullet.png');
}
Template
Template:custom-list <div class="custom-list"> {{{1}}} </div>
Page
Wiki page {{custom-list|1=
- Foo
- Bar
- Baz
}}
However still the original bullet-points appear on my pages. So i think i'm stuck.
Is there any way to achieve this? Eppw1970 (talk) 08:11, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- you need to use the full url of the image, not just the file name. If you put the url in your web browser it should go directly to the image not the file description page.
- if it still doesnt work, you can also try adding !important between the ) and the ;
- If it still doesnt work please link to your wiki. The web developer console in your browser can also help you debug this by showing active styles for the dom node. Bawolff (talk) 11:33, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
How to ignore a template parameter value containing }}?

- nowiki tag? Html entity?
- This looks like some sort of data structure thats not whitespace sensitive, so making the last line be {u'pageviews': u''} } with a space separating the } would probably work too. Bawolff (talk) 11:27, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Bawolff: The value is fetched and set via an API call. This if fully automated.
- The question here is if there is a solution once the value like this was already added.
- HTML entity does not work without changing the value in retrospect. The nowiki tag does not help either since the trailing }} are still regarded as closing the template even if you add it.
- Thus it appears that there is no solution once the value is added like this, meaning the issue needs to be resolved prior to adding it or we need to change the values in retrospect?!
- We are talking about Wikiapiary.com where this new item derailed data display for all WMF wikis. [[kgh]] (talk) 16:09, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- }} is going to close the template. Whatever bot is making it is going to have to escape that somehow. Bawolff (talk) 02:28, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for confirming. Wanted to make sure that I did not overlook something her. [[kgh]] (talk) 15:28, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

I tried to install Jeroe Github again, remove the github package and composer, and again, but nothing works. Google seems to be quiet.
So, do you what causes the error, and can I do something for that? Or do I need to reinstall or upgrade my Wikimedia?
Meanwhile, I'll back up my database.
Thanks for any help, or ideas. Molmw (talk) 16:15, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Molmw You cannot install the Wikimedia people, maybe you meant MediaWiki? What is "Jeroen Github extension"? Which MediaWiki version is this about? Malyacko (talk) 21:25, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks!
- The mediawiki version is 1.34.1.
- Jeroen Github extension means GitHub extension for MediaWiki by JeroenDeDauw/GitHub.
- So its best to back up everything and start from scratch? Or might there be some solutions? Molmw (talk) 07:39, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- > - Removing wikimedia/at-ease (v2.0.0)
- That would be your problem. Sounds like in trying to install this extension you managed to remove all of mediawiki's dependencies.
- Honestly, i wish people would stop trying to make extensions installable by composer. Its a bad fit and causes confusion. Bawolff (talk) 02:25, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! Yes, I totally agree. I couldn't/ cannot reinstall Mediawiki's depencies---using Composer. So, it might be best to sit down, backup the file structure and database, and reinstall from scratch?
- Also, it might be a good idea to back up before trying to get the site better. . . Molmw (talk) 07:55, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Molmw (talk) 07:55, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for ideas!
- It was rather easy to copy the MW and install the newer version. The installation procedure noticed that I am working on an existing database, and fixed that too. Even the images are shown, after copying them back to the correct directory. Great.
- So, no more Composer for me. Molmw (talk) 16:16, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Vector search bar
Hi again!
I'm now trying to find some variable or code to make the search bar in Vector skin look like even on fr.wikipedia.org. There, the search bar is in a different place than on my wikis and this MediaWiki.org wiki. In Fr.wikipedia, the search bar is in the middle and a little bigger. Can anyone say a variable or code that will get me in the middle of the search bar too? I don't mean the sidebar. 193.185.246.137 (talk) 18:08, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Importing an old backup
I'm trying to resurrect an old MediaWiki site. I was never a MW expert and I've forgotten everything I ever knew about it over the 7+ years since I last used it. I just installed MW 1.31.12 since my web host only has PHP 7.3.11 installed. My web host has MySQL 5.6.40-84.0. The SQL backup file that I have is from 2012 and I believe I was running MW 1.14 at that time. I opened phpMyAdmin, selected the MW database, and used the Import tab to select my backup ".sql.zip". The import process ran successfully but accessing my MW site loads the default Main Page but the All Pages page only lists the Main Page. However, if I browse the database using phpMyAdmin I can see that my imported information is in the mw_archive table. What might I be doing wrong? Was there a format change between MW 1.14 and MW 1.31.12 that might be my problem? McDreimiller (talk) 01:29, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- the archive table contains only deleted pages (eg. accessible via special:undelete if you are an admin).
- The actual content lives in the page, revision and text table. Bawolff (talk) 08:22, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. You helped me figure out my problem It turns out that I had used a prefix "mw_" on my old wiki so my Import was creating a new set of tables instead of importing them in to the default table names. Now I have a new problem. I deleted my database and started over. The import is failing because there's a field in my backup that doesn't exist in the "archive" table. Here's a list of all of the fields in "archive" - bolded fields are in my backup:
- ar_actor
- ar_comment
- ar_comment_id
- ar_content_format
- ar_content_model
- ar_deleted
- ar_id
- ar_len
- ar_minor_edit
- ar_namespace
- ar_page_id
- ar_parent_id
- ar_rev_id
- ar_sha1
- ar_text_id
- ar_timestamp
- ar_title
- ar_user
- ar_user_text
- These fields are in my backup but aren't in the "archive" table:
- ar_text
- ar_flags
- I suspect that if I were to manually create the missing fields in the "archive" table before doing the import that there would still be things wrong in "archive" due to the apparent changes since my backup was created, and that the import would run into similar problems in other tables such as the "page" table.
- I'm guessing that if I were to delete MW 1.31.12 and install MW 1.14 that the import would work but then I'd have to figure out what steps I'd need to take to upgrade all the way up to 1.31.12.
- Before I do that is there a simpler way to restore my old backup into MW 1.31.12? McDreimiller (talk) 16:27, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- just import it and then run update.php it should upgrade the tables to the new version. Bawolff (talk) 21:47, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks again, @Bawolff. I added the two missing columns to the archive table and re-tried the import but it failed again, this time due to a missing column (cat_hidden) in the category table. So before trying again I hunted around and found this page listing all of the tables and reviewed every one that existed in v1.14 and noted any fields that have been removed between 1.14 and 1.31.12.
- archive
- ar_text
- ar_flags
- category
- cat_hidden
- page
- page_counter
- recentchanges
- rc_cur_time
- rc_moved_to_ns
- rc_moved_to_title
- site_stats table
- ss_total_views
- ss_admins
- text
- old_namespace
- old_title
- old_comment
- old_user
- old_user_text
- old_timestamp
- old_minor_edit
- inverse_timestamp
- user
- user_options
- After adding all of those manually, and making sure all of the tables were empty, I was then able to import my 9 year old backup successfully. Unfortunately, as I suspected, that backup was made right after I discovered in early 2012 that my wiki had been hacked and was being used to host 1000+ pages of spam. Sadly, I can't find the backup that I made after spending a month deleting all of the spam and I'll have to do all of that deleting again. McDreimiller (talk) 20:17, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

- You probably need to add the information mentioned for posting issues in the right-sidebar on this page (MW version, php version etc.)
- Otherwise, the folks that help here (I'm just a MW user) have know way of knowing if you're using a current version of MW or an outdated one... so for example, this is an old closed one, without knowing your MW version... could it be related to this?

Ideas to implement reminders of pages?
I am a student and have my wiki as my note system. To review my pages i would like to implement a system kind of like anki works. I have not found any ways to export the names of the pages in other apps like anki because the wiki isnt stable, sometimes i add things, sometimes I delete pages so anything outside of the wiki becomes a mess.
Does anyone have any ideas to implement a system where it reminds me to open a specific page at a specific time?
I could use calendar but that does not get the job done.
Thanks! Bedtry (talk) 08:11, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- You could use Cargo to store items (and Page Forms to make it easy to enter them). Each item could have a date. Each item could appear as an info box on the relevant pages.
- Then you could have a query on your wiki that showed the most recent items, or overdue items, or items due today or this week, or whatever. Jonathan3 (talk) 13:58, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I like the idea! Thanks for that! Bedtry (talk) 16:56, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Search to include external site
I’d like to be able to have the wiki search results also show (separately) the results for the same search term from an associated website. Is this possible with any existing extension? Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 14:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Perhaps not what you want, but you could try using a
googlewikilink. E.g. "google:MediaWiki site:wikimedia.org" to search for the string "MediaWiki" on the domainwikimedia.org. Nicole Sharp (talk) 15:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC) - Thanks for the idea. Jonathan3 (talk) 01:02, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
How to replace text at all namespaces?
Hi, I want to replace some text. The problem is, I have many articles like for instance
- Animal: bird
- Tree: fir

Request to remove "Multilingual Wikisource" link from Wikipedia Main page template
- Hello. On the English Wikipedia Main page, there is a template ("In other projects") used on the left column of the page that contains links to other projects. I noticed that this template points to the Wikisource project twice. There is "Wikisource" (which points to https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page) and "Multilingual Wikisource" (which points to https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page). Seeing as the other project links point to their respective English pages, I would like to request the "Multilingual Wikisource" link be removed, as to improve consistency. Please let me know where this can be properly discussed and how this modification can be done. I have started the discussion on the English Wikipedia Teahouse, and was suggested to ask here. This may be related to Wikimedia main page (Q5296). Somerandomuser (talk) 05:12, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- That Teahouse could have suggested meta:Tech instead, as this is not related to MediaWiki itself but to Wikimedia stuff... :) Malyacko (talk) 07:13, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose, it's related to a magic word {{Noexternallanglinks}} which I even can't find at Help:Magic words. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 07:55, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- i imagine its due to the wikidata item Bawolff (talk) 20:55, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Issue with users when upgrading old mid-size wiki. Please advise
cd Hello. I am trying to rejuvenate an old wiki. I went from 1.17 to 1.31 then to the latest 1.35. Everything seemed to go fine until I tried to log in.
Apache 2.4.35 mySQL 5.7.24 PHP 7.4.16 Local on Laragon
I have the following debug message:
[a88eebc044e7385adb9ab332] /Monstropedia/index.php/Sp%C3%A9cial:Mes_discussions Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1699 of C:\laragon\www\monstropedia\includes\libs\rdbms\database\Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading? (see 1 below)
I tried to update the database another time another time and I could see there are issues with users
Your composer.lock file is up to date with current dependencies!
Going to run database updates for monstrop_wiki7
Depending on the size of your database this may take a while!

ResourceLoader breaking a JavaScript library
I'm trying to have ResourceLoader load a JS library for me, but it keeps breaking. My browser console says "Uncaught SyntaxError: unexpected token: identifier". I click on the error to inspect the code, and it shows me what load.php is serving up. Here's where the error is:
[long line of code]"pnLb":[function(require,module,exports){"use strict";Object.defineProperty(
exports,"__esModule",{value:!0});[code continues]
I think ResourceLoader is breaking the line between "(" and "exports", and that's causing the syntax error.
I'm loading other JS files successfully; this is the only one that breaks. When I load the page using ?debug=true everything loads fine. Any suggestions? DawnPaladin (talk) 20:41, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

/load.php?lang= query string causes three problems in Google Page Speed insights
I have an Hebrew 1.35.1 all-core MediaWiki website; generally I have no significant performance problems reported in Google Page Speed insights besides one problem which occurs in three different contexts there:
- Enable text compression:
/load.php?lang= - Remove unused JavaScript:
/load.php?lang= - Eliminate render-blocking Resources:
/load.php?lang=
I believe this has to do with my site being Hebrew-interfaced (from installation onwards).
MediaWiki developmentwise, can I remove this query string from URLs?
This might solve the problem of Google algorithm recognizing it as "problematic" or "redundant". 2001:44C8:4559:7759:843F:4EAB:11BF:9DAD (talk) 21:11, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- I should add that as far as I remember, this problem is lurking/roaming above my website since its first MediaWiki version:
- 1.32.x
- 1.33.x
- 1.34.2
- 1.35.1 2001:44C8:4559:7759:455:BFA6:E9EC:814A (talk) 16:18, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

- MediaWiki is a very complex software system. It is guaranteed to throw some warnings in a tool like Google Page Speed insights. load.php is the endpoint that serves up Javascript and CSS and should not be removed. It is used at least a dozen times, so without the actual website/results of Page speed insights, it is hard to evaluate if page speed insights is correct or not.
- > "This might solve the problem of Google algorithm recognizing it as "problematic" or "redundant".
- Unlikely. the biggest cause for that would be incorrect canonical urls in the html content being returned, or because you are actually duplicating content. Google hates duplicate content. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 15:31, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- @TheDJ please share a bit more information about what kind of duplicated content you thought about.
- If there is any content duplication, it's not something that I had done or at least intentionally done; given that the website is all-core, I can't think of anything like that.
- The problem happens with every webpage I have ever tested; homepage or any article random page.
- If it helps --- respective examples for a full query string for any such link (the link in the error) are:
- load.php?lang=he&modules=mediawiki.skinning.content.externallinks%7Cskins.timeless&only=styles&skin=timeless

- load.php URLs contain many minified, concatenated CSS/JS files. As such, they are not too useful for pinpointing problems. I doubt the site language is involved in any way. Tgr (talk) 23:56, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks @Tgr but aren't these many minified-concatenated resources theme dependent and if I don't load them I'd have front-end issues in my site? 2001:44C8:4207:71AD:A8E4:67A6:513D:7860 (talk) 01:14, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- If you randomly prevent some of your CSS/JS files from loading, you are very likely to have issues, yes. That's true of both skin assets and non-skin assets. Tgr (talk) 08:31, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Please kindly share with us (as other people might have a similar problem), @Tgr if you had a similar situation, how would you have handled it? What might you suggest to try as an elegant solution? Thanks anyway, 2001:44C8:4207:71AD:A8E4:67A6:513D:7860 (talk) 08:57, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- I would just ignore the warning. Tgr (talk) 09:44, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Tgr I understand that such approach is existing and even common but in my personal case, this error is the only error and it downgrades the Google Pagespeed Insights (GPI) score of my website from 100 to 76 (and one can only "go figure" how this effect the SEO as not all Google's SEO principles are necessarily published out there, some secondary ones might change on the fly and if the solution is minor then I would indeed like to solve it.
- I ask in great plea for an idea, how to tackle this in my particular case.
- I consider to even fork Skin:Timeless and simplify it for my own purposes if that would help but is it really a skin issue?
- I might still misunderstand where this "problem" is coming from. 2001:44C8:4207:71AD:A8E4:67A6:513D:7860 (talk) 10:40, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

- As I said, it's hard to tell just from the URL where the issue is, because that URL concatenates many unrelated CSS and JS files. Any one of them could be the source of the problem. You could switch to another skin and see if performance improves. Tgr (talk) 11:20, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Bot User - Bot Owner relation in mediawiki database
Hi,
I am querying the wikidatawiki_p database via Toolforge. I checked the documentation, looked at the database schema diagram (v 1.34.0) and ran some test queries but I could not yet find a table storing the relation between a bot user (e.g., user with name "Github-wiki-bot") and the user of its owner/operator (e.g. user with name "Konstin").
Would anyone know where to find this information in the database?

Minerva Neue in Chrome Iframe

I still cannot solve my problem. When I have an iframe from Mediawiki on Chrome, the MinervaNeue skin cannot work.
If anyone has a solution, I will be very happy.
Have a nice day Pracarta (talk) 12:59, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- It is not clear to me what your situation is exactly... perhaps you can elaborate? "Minerva Neue in Chrome Iframe" suggests that maybe you're trying to display a MediaWiki site in an iframe on another site in chrome?--Is that the correct understanding? Why exactly do you want to do that? What do you mean by "iframe from MediaWiki"? Can you please provide a link to what you're talking about to make clear what it is exactly you're trying to do?
- Are there any errors in Chrome console? At current I'm not sure this sounds like a MediaWiki issue. What exactly are you trying to do with an iframe and why? TiltedCerebellum (talk) 05:46, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
Mobile.css breaking on mobile and desktop
- I have a wiki that uses infoboxes, and they display wrong on MobileFrontend. I applied some CSS to fix it, but somehow it doesn't apply on MobileFrontend, and breaks infoboxes on desktop. I'm using some code from Wikipedia's Mobile.css, which is how I got infoboxes working on desktop. Why is it doing this?
- Edit: I fixed infoboxes by applying the CSS through the HTML style tag in Template:Infobox on my wiki, but this still doesn't answer why infoboxes on desktop were effected by CSS it should not even be applying. Jkrosado (talk) 13:18, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Gzip not enabled
Hello to everybody. I have a wiki installed on a server Debian Buster + Apache2.

I really don't know what check :(

- I "solved" commenting line 1073 in includes/MediaWiki.php
- apache_setenv( 'no-gzip', '1' );
- Now I am in production so I reverted the mod to avoid problems. Is it a bug? Marcoemmegi (talk) 13:01, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- There seem to be some interesting (seemingly related to gzip) issues springing forth on phab for users on Apache:

- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T269985 TiltedCerebellum (talk) 21:43, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- It might be but the problem is the opposite one. I always get non gzipped pages.
- So the solution is to wait for mediawiki 1.35.2? Marcoemmegi (talk) 15:01, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not sure either if somehow related, though I found it interesting your issue was solved by commenting out some of the same mentioned in the first phab task. Might be good to create a phab task for your specific issue? Not sure. It's unclear what the recommended next steps are, I asked but didn't receive a reply and nothing to advise folks on installation or upgrade pages. For now we're waiting to see if patched or new release made available, though our host is bugging us to upgrade--we keep reiterating to them we can't. I was happy to see the task get moved to the prio interrupt board (I took this as potentially meaning priority work interrupt). I'm just an average MediaWiki user though so phab is a bit of a mystery to me still lol. I just keep watching that phab tasks (and related ones) as well as the installation and upgrade pages to see if anything gets posted. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 19:05, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for answering. I am a completly noob mediawiki user. I have some basis of php and sql, nothing more. I find that codeline because i searched for every header and apache_setenv php call because if apache couldn't force gzip something was wrong. I was sure that the server was correctly configured so the problem must be in php code.
- I don't know if disabling it should create problems in other parts of mediawiki, so i disabled my "patch".
- I could try to report the bug (if it is a bug). Marcoemmegi (talk) 09:12, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Just upgraded the wiki to 1.35 yesterday. In installing updated extensions did not realize that DynamicPageLists3 and the old DynamicPageLists that has been depreciated would conflict - and so an error occurred
Fatal error: Uncaught UnexpectedValueException: callback 'DynamicPageListHooks::onRegistration' is not callable in /home/customer/www/sentinelswiki.com/public_html/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:539 Stack trace: #0 /home/customer/www/sentinelswiki.com/public_html/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php(232): ExtensionRegistry->exportExtractedData(Array) #1 /home/customer/www/sentinelswiki.com/public_html/includes/Setup.php(161): ExtensionRegistry->loadFromQueue() #2 /home/customer/www/sentinelswiki.com/public_html/includes/WebStart.php(89): require_once('/home/customer/...') #3 /home/customer/www/sentinelswiki.com/public_html/index.php(44): require('/home/customer/...') #4 {main} thrown in /home/customer/www/sentinelswiki.com/public_html/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php on line 539
As I have come to understand this is due to the two extensions having the same namespace. I have attempted to remove the files - both the extensions and from localSettings.php
However - it doesn't seem to be working. Currently there is no reference in LocalSettings.php to either extension, and yet load.php shows:
Notice: Constant NS_DYNAMICPAGELIST already defined in /home/customer/www/sentinelswiki.com/public_html/LocalSettings.php on line 174
But the LocalSettings.php does not have that in there:
the lines surrounding it:
wfLoadExtension( 'TimedMediaHandler' );
wfLoadExtension( 'PageInCat' );
wfLoadExtension( 'Bootstrap' );
# HeaderTabs Functionality
$wgHeaderTabsRenderSingleTab = true;
line 172 is the Bootstrap load and and line 175 is the headertabs comment - like 174 would of course be the line where the DPL3 was installed but is no longer.
interestingly ... it is ONLY the main page where this error occurs. If I go to any other page on the wiki directly, They load (mostly well - some errors here or there I assume are lreated to this)

- You could put it on MediaWiki:Sitenotice. With most skins that would put it at the very top. See Manual:Interface/Sitenotice.
- You might be able to put it on MediaWiki:Sidebar somehow: Manual:Interface/Sidebar. Jonathan3 (talk) 20:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Change Default Page Template
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello all,
unfortunately my Google skills don't seem to be enough to get the knowledge I need, because I can't imagine I'm the first one to have this question: How can I edit the default page template in MediaWiki? Meening: every time a new page is created, a certain text, design or whatever should be automatically included without me having to manually insert a template for it first? I'm guessing there's some term other than "template" for this that I just don't know or can't think of....
Thanks Tim

- Extension:Page Forms lets you create and edit pages that have text already in them.

Create and track transactions / sets of changes
Hi,
I had a few questions about change management / propagation. Specifically, I understand that MediaWiki follows the "go ahead - make changes" principal but wanted to know whether there are any layers of protection we can add especially for downstream data consumers.
1) We are currently using categories to track changes that people have made that are "in progress" or "to be reviewed" before they are committed. Is there a better way of going about doing this or forcing this behavior? I have seen Protected Pages as a way to prevent changes to a page, but is there a way to propose edits etc?
2) If user 1 is making changes to pages A, B, and C is there a way to "group" those changes together and identify those were made as one "transaction" and separate from the changes that user 2 is making to pages A, B, and D? (Following the above, one idea was to create a category for each of these sets, but that is quite manual and tedious).
3) I'm hoping to integrate the data contained in MediaWiki with some downstream services and would like changes to the wiki (tracked through EvenBus) to be grouped in sets. I.e. I make a change on page A, B, and C and I want those to be able to group those together. Is that something that is possible / identify those changes in a "transaction" on the change propagation consumer?

Issues Getting shortURLs to work with VisualEditor -- Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 500)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello, there! I'm trying to get short urls to work on my wiki AND get visual editor to work. I've been having problems with the latter task. Here's my setup:
Wiki LinkShared hosting, Siteground
Apache/Nginx Compatible Server
No Root Access
Product
|
Version
|
|---|---|
MediaWiki
|
1.35.1
|
PHP
|
7.3.25 (cgi-fcgi)
|
MySQL
|
5.7.26-29-log
|
ICU

My installation is nested in a /w folder, and I have an .htaccess file in the root folder (public_html) where the /w folder is installed. Here's my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
# main rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
# Redirect / to Main Page
RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
And I added the following snippet to the LocalSettings.php:
$wgScriptPath = "/w";
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
As a result, I went from getting wiki.example.com/index.php?title=Main_Page to wiki.example.com/Main_Page.
I followed the manual here with hopes of getting short URLs to work, which it looks as though it works. The problem is, when I enabled VisualEditor and attempted to edit the main page, for example, I get the following error:
Error contacting the REST/Parsoid Base server
(HTTP 500)
I've consulted the troubleshooting section of the VE page for this error, but I'm getting nothing.
Could I request help on this matter? Thanks a ton! Orribu (talk) 22:12, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

- Oh yeah no worries! Orribu (talk) 03:13, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Bump again. I could really use some help! Orribu (talk) 21:42, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Have you seen:
- Manual talk:Short URL/Archive 3/Flow export#h-Visual_Editor_seems_to_defeat_attempts_at_short_URLs-2020-12-31T08:04:00.000Z
- And:
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T270376
- Just thinking some of the other examples in that might help (like kghbln's example maybe, in the absence of a better suggestion from a help desk person I mean--hopefully someone can help you out soon!)?
- You should be getting (and going to) a url like (for viewing a page)
wiki.example.com/wiki/Main_Pageand (for editing a page) you should be getting (and going to)wiki.example.com/w/... - I.e., make sure you yourself are going to and trying the new URL structure, not the old one?--I'm sure you probably already know that, if so please ignore... your example just made this thought cross my mind since I tested the wrong URL at first without thinking. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 22:39, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oh hey @TiltedCerebellum! Thanks for passing these along; I actually ran into the phabricator bug report when I was running around! It definitely seems like we have the same issue just about. I can't thank you enough for your time!
- So just to clarify, what exactly do you mean when you mention New vs. Old URL structure? I'm guessing it's
wiki.example.com/wiki/main_page vs.wiki.example.com/wiki/index.php...but I wanted to double check! - From what I see, for some reason the edit page calls
wiki.twistedfates.net/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&veaction=editbut apparently redirects towiki.twistedfates.net/wiki/Main_Page?veaction=edit, and that's where I run smack into a brick wall. - I tried changing the
/wiki/to/w/and got a 404. Orribu (talk) 02:46, 24 March 2021 (UTC) - Yep, I was referring to
wiki.example.com/wiki/Main_Page, apologies, I was confused by this bit: "As a result, I went from gettingwiki.example.com/index.php?title=Main_Pagetowiki.example.com/Main_Page" and just wanted to make sure you were now trying it at:wiki.example.com/wiki/Main_Pagewhich yes, of course you were, silly me. If it was a 404, perhaps your htaccess rules weren't quite right yet (I wish I wasn't lousy at understanding these lol). I'm gettingError contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 500)rather than a 404 error when accessing that edit url. What (if any) additional VE config lines do you have set in LocalSettings.php other than just enabling VE with:wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );?--Now that VE is built in, usually that's all that's required with the setup. - Also, did you install using MediaWiki's official release and instructions or was it from an automated installer provided by your hosting provider (siteground I think looking at whois info)?
- I'm not sure if this info is up to date given the current version and integration with 1.35 but it's worth a look:
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor#Troubleshooting TiltedCerebellum (talk) 17:35, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Heya, thanks for getting back to me!
- Sorry for the confusion! That's weird you got a 404, I'm still getting a 500 when I try the edit link!
- I don't have any VE configuration lines aside from enabling it.
- It was an automated installer provided by my hosting provider; do you think I should try a fresh install from the site itself?
- Thanks for the link! Orribu (talk) 19:09, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- @TiltedCerebellum, I think I figured it out. I installed Mediawiki from the site itself instead of going through my provider and it looks like all those permission issues and other things aren't an issue!
- Thank you, friend! I really appreciate your help! Orribu (talk) 06:27, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yep, this turns out to be the cause pretty frequently, unfortunately. Always better to use the official MW files and installation instructions. Glad you got it working! Yw and cheers! TiltedCerebellum (talk) 20:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

I have a account: with:

but mail email no longer exists (domain terminated) therefore I can't able to request for lost password, to login in Wikipedia.
How I do to solve this problem?

- If you're logged in at least one device you should be able to use Special:ChangePassword to change the password. If you're not, you should just create another account. It seems your account exists only on English Wikipedia and you have 0 edits. So surely creating a new account is just the simple thing to do here. – Ammarpad (talk) 08:15, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Mediawiki won't install
Hello, I am currently trying to install mediawiki and am a bloody newbie to this topic. I installed Filezilla and logged into my webserver. Since there are already some folders inside, my first problem is that I dont know where to put the mediawiki files. I experimented and loaded it in the same folder where my wordpress website is in, but nothing happened. I watched a tutorial where it is shown that you can open your webserveradress with mediawiki already on it after you loaded the extracted files on your webserver, but nothing happened. I watched a lot of tutorials and I could nowhere find a user interface shown in filezilla that looked like mine. Please help! Lea93wiki93 (talk) 14:09, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Put it in a folder called

Ideas for category lists workflow
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I want to reviev the pages in a category everyday. Per day i can review lets say 10 Pages.
Great for that would be a system to keep track at least a bit where I am at. Because categories only structure by Name and the wiki itself and its pages change weekly.
Systems where I create my own structure with category:xy|01; category:xy|02 etc. will fail because with every creation of a new page I have to look at which number I am at, thats way too complicated.
I could export the list everyday and let a program number it, but that feels weird (where i say: monday 1-10, tuesday 11-20 etc.)
Any ideas to solve that? Workarounds to sort categories by date of creation? Bedtry (talk) 20:17, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- You could use a Extension:Cargo table with just a date field, for the date you last reviewed the page. It could be included on the page using a template, though you'd not need to display the date on the page if you didn't want to. You could edit the page using a Extension:Page Forms form, with the main part of the page in a "free text" section and the date as a datepicker/date input.
- Or you could use use Extension:DynamicPageList3, e.g. if you want to review the pages that were edited the longest time ago, you could show the oldest 10 by:
- Jonathan3 (talk) 23:03, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
{{#dpl: |category= |ordermethod=lastedit |order=ascending |count=10 }} - "Workarounds to sort categories by date of creation?"
- Jonathan3 (talk) 23:10, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
{{#dpl: |category= |ordermethod=firstedit }} - Looked into it and that should really work for my needs. Problem is I am still at 1.41 and have never updated my wiki. Tried do install dynamic page list but i does not work on 1.41.
- Dont really know alot about mediawiki it so i would have to take the time to read into how to upgrade. But when I have the time dynamic page list could work great. Thanks! Bedtry (talk) 11:11, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- What's 1.41?
- It's a simple DPL query so should work with Extension:DynamicPageList (Wikimedia). You might have more luck with that on an old MediaWiki version. It seems on that it'd be
ordermethod=created. Jonathan3 (talk) 13:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC) - 1.41 is the version of mediawiki i am on.
- Tried to install dynamic page list (wikimedia) and it worked wonders. Thats exactly what i needed! Thanks alot! Bedtry (talk) 23:51, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

- My intent is to define new variables similar to
{{FIRSTREVISIONTS}} {{FIRSTREVISIONDATE}} {{FIRSTREVISIONTIME}}S0ring (talk) 15:46, 19 March 2021 (UTC) - Maybe you could create a template (with capital letters so you can imagine it as a variable) using DPL3/Cargo. Jonathan3 (talk) 15:50, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Or Manual:Variable might be a good starting point. Jonathan3 (talk) 15:54, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- There is no such variable implemented in MediaWiki core yet.
- I am afraid this will not happen since not really requested in WMF wikis.
- You might create and implement your own private parser functions, as mentioned.
- Another approach is to use JavaScript gadgets and query via API whatever you want and insert it into page wherever you want. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 11:22, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

How to add loading="lazy" to all <img> tags?
I'd like to speed up my wikis by adding <code>loading="lazy"</code> to all <code><img></code> tags. I searched for 20 minutes to see if it's already in core and found https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148047, which seems to be stuck because of printing issues.
There's an older extension Extension:Lazyload which uses a different approach, is in beta and seems buggy and unmaintained.
Can anyone say if this is on the road map?
And: Which core file would I have to modify to add <code>loading="lazy"</code> so that all sites load faster?
Thanks!
PS: See https://web.dev/browser-level-image-lazy-loading/ for an explanation of <code>loading="lazy"</code>. Stefahn (talk) 09:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- I managed to work something out for external images but not yet for internal ones. Put this in LocalSettings.php:
- Jonathan3 (talk) 11:42, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
$wgAllowExternalImages = true; function makeExternalLazyImages ( &$url, &$alt, &$img ) { $img = Html::element( 'img', [ 'src' => $url, 'alt' => $alt, 'loading' => 'lazy' ] ); return false; } $wgHooks['LinkerMakeExternalImage'][] = 'makeExternalLazyImages'; - There's Manual:$wgNativeImageLazyLoading Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Question:
Synology has recommended to contact MediaWiki with this error report. Does anybody know what the problem might be? PeterinKorea (talk) 13:00, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Please provide steps (commands) how you update. Malyacko (talk) 15:05, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Using Synology Package Centre I selected the MediaWiki version 1.35 update button which was available at that time PeterinKorea (talk) 12:38, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- FYI.. I got the same thing using the installer from Synology on a fresh install (not an upgrade).
- Fatal error: Cannot declare class Maintenance, because the name is already in use in /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance/includes/Maintenance.php on line 55 MikeDarling (talk) 20:01, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Have you contacted Synology yet? PeterinKorea (talk) 12:29, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- honestly sounds like something broken on the synology end. Maybe multiple versions installed at once.
- Generally speaking we reccomend using the official package over synology's version. We don't know what synology has changed from our version so its difficult for us to provide help. Bawolff (talk) 06:07, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with your assessment that it is probably at the Synology end but I have to try this route first. I have only a single version of MediaWiki.
- I understand your opinion about using the official package. However the MediaWiki package provided by Synology has been working fine for the last couple of years and as a newbie I prefer this route. PeterinKorea (talk) 12:44, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Malyacko, did you find a solution to this problem? I have the same issue. 195.206.189.192 (talk) 12:09, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- No I'm still looking for a solution. Have you contacted Synology yet? PeterinKorea (talk) 12:18, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- I have the same error using the synology package. How would you perform an install using the downloaded version? Backscheider (talk) 15:33, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- How far did you get? PeterinKorea (talk) 12:26, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- Synology MediaWiki is set to work with PHP 7.3.16 while the compatibility list from mediawiki shows 1.35 version is compatible with php7.3.x from 7.3.19 and higher, and any version of PHP 7.4 from 7.4.3 and higher.. I have reported this to Synology but they claim that MediaWiki works fine with PHP 7.3.16 and the later updates are for CVE issues PeterinKorea (talk) 12:25, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- Does anyone know what the issues were for MediaWiki with PHP 7.3.16? PeterinKorea (talk) 12:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- I found a solution; open /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance/Maintenance.php, and change "abstract class Maintenance" to "abstract class OtherMaintenance". The problem is that the class Maintenance is declared in both
- /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance/Maintenance.php and
- /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance/includes/Maintenance.php
- This is probably not the optimal solution, but it worked for me. 2601:500:C301:1DF0:D9B6:9606:27C8:A4BC (talk) 16:50, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion but I still get a blank page at mw-config/index.php.
- I somehow cannot get php error messages on screen, I tried enabling errors in the php7.43 settings.. I did try
- $ cd mw-config
- $ php73 update.php
- and the Maintenance error is gone, so something did improve. (There I get a follow-up message that LocalSettings.php is not present which is as I expected).
- I still get the mcrypt.so and mysqli.so not found warning. Did you solve this problem? PeterinKorea (talk) 13:53, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- This solution works for me to.
- After upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35.1-0140 on Synology DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3, my backup script gave the error "PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare class Maintenance, because the name is already in use in /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance/includes/Maintenance.php on line 55".
- My maintenance script had to be changed to use php73 instead of php72.
- I also had an unrelated problem in LocalSettings.php when trying to open my wiki after upgrade: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<first letters of my DB password>' (T_STRING) in /volume1/web/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php on line 62". It looks like that all text on this line was inserted in the middle of the DB password. After removing the inserted text, it worked again. Hansakelund (talk) 08:52, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for your suggestions.
- However as mentioned in my answer to 2601:500:C301:1DF0:D9B6:9606:27C8:A4BC I am still stuck, but tried installing using the mw-config/index.php page.
- Your answer (involving php73) seems to imply you use a script to setup LocalSettings.php, What script are you referring to? PeterinKorea (talk) 14:16, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- I am using a script to regularly copy my internal wiki from one Synology NAS to another Synology NAS, this script uses in turn some scripts in the maintenance/ directory. This script does not touch LocalSettings.php.
- The problem I had with LocalSettings.php showed as an error message in the web browser when trying to access the wiki and has (most probably) nothing to do with that the class Maintenance is declared twice. Hansakelund (talk) 08:52, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- I have downloaded MediaWiki from the MediaWiki site and compared the files with the ones from Synology and noticed there are differences:
- diff -rq mediawiki-1.35.1 /volume1/web/mediawiki
- Only in /volume1/web/mediawiki: disabled.html
- Files mediawiki-1.35.1/includes/DefaultSettings.php and /volume1/web/mediawiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php differ
- Files mediawiki-1.35.1/includes/installer/Installer.php and /volume1/web/mediawiki/includes/installer/Installer.php differ
- Files mediawiki-1.35.1/includes/installer/MysqlInstaller.php and /volume1/web/mediawiki/includes/installer/MysqlInstaller.php differ
- Files mediawiki-1.35.1/includes/PHPVersionCheck.php and /volume1/web/mediawiki/includes/PHPVersionCheck.php differ
- Files mediawiki-1.35.1/includes/templates/NoLocalSettings.mustache and /volume1/web/mediawiki/includes/templates/NoLocalSettings.mustache differ
- Only in /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance: Maintenance - Copy.php
- Files mediawiki-1.35.1/maintenance/Maintenance.php and /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance/Maintenance.php differ
- Take for example the maintenance.php from MediaWiki is only 2 kB versus 47.6 kB from Synology and the one from MediaWiki does not contain the "abstract class Maintenance", PeterinKorea (talk) 12:16, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, not sure if my findings are of any help, but please see my SOLVED trouble, which very much sounds like this one here. You can find my findings in this threat: Problems to access the MariaDB on a Synology Diskstation after update...
- Hope you get it working again! Good luck! RalliHH (talk) 08:57, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Finally Synology admitted that something went wrong. They disabled "pcre jit" in the /usr/local/etc/php73/cli/conf.d/SYNO.SDS.MediaWiki.ini file. After restoring LocalSettings.php, images and extensions my web pages miraculously appeared.
- Thank you for all your support PeterinKorea (talk) 12:07, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
script '/app/index.php' (request: "GET /index.php") executing too slow
- Hi. I've had a wiki on Mediawiki 1.35.0 running for a few months. Recently, I decided to move the server over to Heroku from another server. That server worked just fine - loaded pages in a second or two, but was otherwise tolerable. I moved it hoping that I could get faster performance. That has not been the case.
- Because I moved it to Heroku, I followed this guide: https://gist.github.com/caseywatts/d04bda6626ef2c6c8f97 which detailed all the necessary steps. After much configuration, I managed to get it working. Almost immediately, though, I noticed something was wrong. Pages loaded in up to 7 seconds rather than 1 or 2 (or less!). Looking at the Heroku logs, I got this error:

So, I upgraded to a paid server, which at this point was around 5x more powerful than the server I was using before the move. I also moved the MySQL database over to DigitalOcean instead of ClearDB. (Heroku's managed database)
- Even with these specs, I'm seeing the exact same performance metrics on the wiki as with Heroku free server+ClearDB - around 7-9 seconds of loading time.
- I may just end up moving everything back to how it was before, but I really would like some better performance than even that. WAUthethird (talk) 18:01, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- hi @WAUthethird
- did you find a solution or an explanation ?
- I have the same issue. Benfruc (talk) 14:10, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- you would probably need to do profiling to figure out what's up, but for starters, check your cache configuration.
- There's a lot more to performance than just the specs on the server. Bawolff (talk) 06:04, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- you might also be hitting a recache path that is slow one time but the results are then saved so they dont have to recalculate again. If so, it might get cut off before finishing and try and do it on every request. (Localization cache is a common culprit for this) Bawolff (talk) 06:10, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Is there a way to suppress Deprecated messages using PHPunit?
I am running the following:
sudo -u www-data env "PHP_IDE_CONFIG=serverName=mwvagrant" "CIRRUS_REBUILD_FIXTURES=yes" "XDEBUG_CONFIG=idekey=netbeans-xdebug" php tests/phpunit/phpunit.php --wiki=wiki --stop-on-failure --stop-on-error extensions/MyExtension/tests/phpunit/
As indicated in the MediaWiki vagrant documentation and I keep getting Deprecated Notices. Is there a way to silence those Deprecated notices?
Thank you 185.69.144.181 (talk) 15:48, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think its intentional that a deprecation warning breaks tests. Bawolff (talk) 01:36, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Bawolff, thank you very much for your response.
- The test actually succeed. Its just that I get about 10 deprecation + all the stack traces which means I need to scroll a lot to see whats a warning and whats a deprecation and to find whether it succeeds and what are the errors, etc. its very impractical. 185.69.145.77 (talk) 09:58, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- You can set
$wgDeprecationReleaseLimit = '1.x';to suppress all deprecation warnings added in version > '1.x'. – Ammarpad (talk) 10:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC) - That is exactly it. Thank you Ammarpad! 185.69.145.77 (talk) 15:38, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- I had this same problem, with HighlightUS but one message would not disappear!
- Adding '
error_reporting(0);'above the last error message line suppressed this as well Jmr1985 (talk) 13:56, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Unable to write/commit to the DB through the GUI

Two things to note, This is a test environment, the DB was restored from a production instance and the source files copied to the new location. All config changes made as needed. The Wiki instance can be fully browsed so we have a successful DB connection. The other note is that the DB server and dbs have been migrated from MySQL to MariaDB. Before laying blame on the DBAs I'd like to know if there's something else I may be missing.
I've run rebuildall.php and upgrade.php which completed w/o issue. However, I'm still unable to save pages.
Any help or insights appreciated.
Thanks! Mcb570 (talk) 17:48, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- try disabling all extensions.
- > Before laying blame on the DBAs
- Its probably not the DBs fault. Or at least i'd be surprised if it was. Bawolff (talk) 01:34, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Duh.. thanks for the reminder. I've disabled them all and it's working. Now... to track down which one it is.

Infobox Character template formatting help
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I want to preform a "switch" on a particular data input value, so it will display differently, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. Of the data perimeters, it's just a single word I want to appear differently "if" its inputted.
In my case, I want the input value for "{{{status}}}" for the term ' Deceased ' to appear as ' Deceased †'
Input Syntax
{{Character
| Status = Deceased
}}
I've tried this (below) and numerous other variations of "if" and or "switch" but it either changes every input value (such as i.e. 'Alive') to display as ' Deceased †' or no input value displays unless the input is exactly 'Deceased' to which it then displays as ' Deceased †'.
<data source="status"><label>Status</label>
<format>{{#if: {{{status|}}}|{{#switch:{{{status}}}|Deceased=Deceased †}}}}</format>
</data>
I was wondering if someone could help me out, and show me what I'm missing or doing wrong. SpiritHawk7 (talk) 00:15, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- i dont know what the data, format and label tags are. Probably you have to use {{#tag:TAGNAME on the outermost tag instead of its html form. See entry for #tag in help:Magic Words Bawolff (talk) 01:32, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

{{#if: {{{status|}}}|{{#switch:{{{status}}}|Deceased=Deceased †}}}}- There's something wrong in this part that I can't quite figure out unfortunately. I tired other variations such as:
{{#if: {{{status|}}}|{{{status}}}|Deceased=Deceased †}}}} {{#if: {{{status}}}|{{#switch:{{{status}}}|Deceased=Deceased †}}}} {{#switch:{{{status}}}|Deceased=Deceased †}}- etc, etc. Nothing seems to work out just right.
- It's not really too important, as I can still simply add the '†' to the input syntax to make it look like this:
Input Syntax {{Character | Status = Deceased † }}- and not have to worry about changing the formatting in the template, but at the same time it would be easier to format it so it's automatically added for me instead. SpiritHawk7 (talk) 02:52, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- first of all {{#ifeq: might be easier than #switch. <tagname> syntax generally messes with things like #switch, which is why im suggesting using {{#tag:tagname|... syntax instead for the outermost tag layer, as that syntax wont mess with parser functions.
- P.s. help:Extension:ParserFunctions is another helpful page. Bawolff (talk) 11:59, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the help and link. :) SpiritHawk7 (talk) 15:52, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Try this in
Template:Show status: Status: {{#ifeq: {{{status|}}} | Deceased | Deceased† | {{{status}}} }}- Then on your normal wiki page:
{{Show status|status=Deceased}} {{Show status|status=Alive}}- should show:
Status: Deceased† Status: Alive
- If it helps, "switch" doesn't necessarily mean "switch places" - it is just a neat way effectively to have lots of similar if statements. It's explained well in the link given above. Jonathan3 (talk) 00:03, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the help. It's very much appreciated. :) SpiritHawk7 (talk) 20:30, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Skin spontaneously changed, now all skins are broken (1.35)
Last night, I was browsing the MediaWiki that I have running on a Raspberry Pi 4, when the custom skin I have been using suddenly was replaced by what appears to be a rather broken version of MonoBook.
I looked at my preferences settings, and they still had my custom skin chosen. I checked the skin directory, my skin is in there. I cleared browser cache, I rebooted the Raspberry Pi, I tried another browser, and logging in on my phone. Still the wrong skin.
I went back into preferences and changed my skin selection to Timeless, on which my custom skin is based, and saw no change; still the broken MonoBook. I switched to Vector, and about half of my skin customizations appeared, such as the logo image, but the layout was not the way I like it, and there were still some things not quite right; it certainly looked nothing like Vector, however. I tried Monobook, and it was about the same as Timeless and my custom skin.
I went into LocalPreferences.php and disabled all skins except my custom skin, rebooted, and still no change, I see a broken version of Monobook. I shut everything down (mariaDB, Apache2) and moved all of the other skins outside of the skins folder, leaving just my custom skin. Brought everything back up, still no change.
Though I'd been editing earlier, at the time this happened, I was looking for more broken external links to update. I am the only user on the Pi, and it's behind a firewall on my local network.
The content is fine, it's just that the skin is hideous.
I figure this has to be something to do with the database, since none of the files in any of the skins directories had been modified since I set up this installation.
I am still running the latest stable version of MediaWiki, and as far as I can tell, all my extensions are up-to-date.
Is there any procedure I can follow to restore the skin functionality?
System Details:
- MediaWiki 1.35.1
- Raspberry Pi 4B, 4GiB RAM
- Raspberry Pi OS (Debian aarch64, built Monday, Feb 22, 2021).
- 256GiB USB 3.1 SSD
- MariaDB 15.1
- PHP v7.3.27 Daniel.glasser (talk) 01:52, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- check your browsers developer console for errors in the network tab.
- Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; and open all load.php files referenced in the html of your page (styles especially) and see if any of them have errors in them.
- Are you sure its a broken version of monobook? Sounds more likely a broken version of your skin you are mistaking for monobook. Bawolff (talk) 07:11, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm rather new to the Wiki stuff, and though I am a fairly ancient software engineer, a lot of this stuff is foreign to me.
- I followed your advice, including adding "$wgShowExcetpionDetails = true;" to the end of my "LocalSettings.php" file, but all I got was a browser warning about the logo image ("thoughts-logo.png") being preloaded but not used within seconds. Then I started my VM on which I'd developed the skin, and opened the prior incarnation of my personal Wiki, and the skin was as I expected. I went to "Preferences" and selected "Monobook" and hit "Preview", and it had a sidebar, which I had not remembered it having, and the fonts looked better than what I've been seeing on the stand-alone (not VM) version on the Pi. I went back to my "TimeyWimey" skin, and it looked as I expected.
- Then I narrowed the browser window to get a screenshot, and the layout changed to what I'm seeing from the Pi. I widened it, and the layout went back to what I had set up. I then changed the page magnification in the browser, and if I made the fonts larger, the layout goes to the broken one, and making them smaller brings back my layout. I have two monitors, one 4k and one 1.5K (1920x1200), and as I drag the browser window between the two screens, the layout changes.
- I'm not sure where in the skins javascript or CSS the switch between layouts is getting chosen, but it's changed across the board; still, but it appears to be a change in the way the font or screen metrics are being reported; oddly, the same size browser window produces different results between the two installations (the VM has 1.35.0 installed, the Pi has 1.35.1), and the older one switches at about 2/3 the width where the newer one does. Also, the mobile browser has different appearance between the two installations.
- It's very odd.
- But it appears the breakage is external to the Wiki itself, I need to adjust something someplace, and reduce the displayed font size in the browser until I work out how to adjust the switch-over point; I also need to clean up the narrower screen CSS to use the same fonts as I'm using for the wider views. Daniel.glasser (talk) 13:59, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- It sounds like an issue with media queries in your css file.
- Maybe its set up to use different css fikes for different screen sizes (via @media rules or media attribute) and one of the css files are missing. Bawolff (talk) 01:22, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: (curl error: 28) Timeout was reached
Hello
I'm using mediawiki 1.35 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Problems occur when using Visual Editor. A document of a typical length works well, but if the document contains a lot of <math> sentences or is excessively long, the following occurs:
(1) When switching from original to visual editing, the progress bar stops near 75%.
(2) After a few seconds, the message Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: (curror: 28) Timeout was read.
I tested my wiki's error-prone document with Wikipedia, and (1) went as it was, but successfully switched to visual editing.
I googled for hours and tested various tests, but it didn't work.
my wiki uses iptime DDNS and also has normal access to http://MyPrivateWikiDDNS.org/mediawiki/rest.php/MyPrivateWikiDDNS.org/v3/page/html/Main_Page. It's also a Private Wiki. The installation document says RESTBase should not be used on the Private Wiki, so I didn't use it. I need your help.

- Are you using MediaWiki over mobile? If it so then check your app settings, if the chrome browser is not updated then it happens sometimes. Or if you using it by a computer then reinstall the MediaWiki software. You can change it to source mode. And at least you can download the latest version of MediaWiki (MediaWiki 1.35.1) . Thank you ↠Tanbirzx (✉) 08:02, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

- Hi,
- I had the same issue when testing locally using PHP Simple Server (
php -S localhost:80). I am not sure whether this applies to you, but I will still post this here since it may be of assistance to someone else. The VisualEditor will not work using PHP Simple Server, since it only supports a single connection at a time. Because the VisualEditor API makes a request to itself through cURL, at least two connections are required. Xxmarijnw (talk) 11:45, 14 July 2021 (UTC)- Hello!
- First of all, thank you for your reply. Can I ask you to explain it in detail? It's a little difficult because I don't have enough knowledge. Thank you. 729steven (talk) 11:57, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- PHP has a built-in server mainly used for testing and debugging. You can start the built-in server on `localhost` by running `php -S localhost:80`. This will make the directory in which the command was run available via `localhost`. You can find more information about the built-in server on PHP.net.
- The reason the VisualEditor does not work is because this built-in web server only supports a single connection at a time. If two connections come in a the same time, one of them has to wait for the other to finish. Because of legacy code in the VisualEditor API, it needs to make an external request to its own API. This works fine on multi-threaded web servers like Apache and NGINX, but fails for single-threaded web servers. It fails because making an external request to the same web server requires at least two concurrent connections; one for the connection making the request and one for handling the request. If only one connection is supported, the connection making the request will wait for the request to finish, while the connection handling the request will wait for the connection making the request to finish, resulting in a deadlock.
- As I said, this likely won't apply to you, since you are probably not using the built-in web server. I hope this clarifies any doubts you had. Xxmarijnw (talk) 19:29, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Problem with accented french characters sort
Hello, I have tried several things to resolve the problem I am having, but without success. My pages starting with É end up at the end of other pages, which is wikimedia's default sort order. How to sort, so that the É are considered as E? I tried to reenter the line mw.config.set ('tableSorterCollation', {'É': 'E', 'é': 'e', 'ä': 'ae', 'ö': 'oe', 'ß': 'ss' , 'ü': 'ue'}); in my common.js, but it doesn't work, just like I declared $ wgCategoryCollation = "uca-fr"; in my Localsettings.php, but it doesn't work either ... I have the same problem with words that are in capitals like AKTO, which are found before other words and therefore not well sorted ... Can you help me please ? Thank you very much. Benoit. Miawtwo (talk) 04:28, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- where do you want things sorted (which list is the problem in).
- Note for $wgCategoryCollation, which only applies to categories and nothing else, there is also a maintenance script you have to run for the change to take effect - updateCollation.php Bawolff (talk) 10:33, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- See also m:Tech:
- You can see the problematic page here. At the start and at the end of the sort.
- https://forma-wiki.fr/index.php/Sp%C3%A9cial:Toutes_les_pages
- Please note that the above page is not a category, and Special:AllPages is not better on Wikipedia either: accented characters come after all sorts of special characters (which themselves are after Z), and À armes inégales is after À Wong Foo, merci pour tout Julie Newmar. Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:49, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- we do not support collations on that page (or most special pages)

What is a "Short Page"/"Long Page" on Special Page
Hello world. I have been trying to set up a wiki for my community and found that there is a page named "Special Page" with automated logs and generated data.
Some of the the items are quite self-explanatory. But I got some tricky ones that MediaWiki's manual couldn't help solve.
Would anyone know what is "Long Page" and "Short Page"? Seems to me that there is not a specifically character limit to determine Long or Short, as I have pages with a single line categorized as Long Page as well.
Thanks a lot. Lesliechung26 (talk) 07:01, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, please name that Special Page. Malyacko (talk) 10:12, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- there is no cut off. Long pages just starts at the longest pages in a content namespace and goes down, short pages start from the other direction. If you have a small number of pages on your wiki, both lists will contain all the pages on your wiki. Bawolff (talk) 10:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you! It seemed that both pages would not include any of the redirected pages though.
- I was looking for a tool, best if currently existing in MediaWiki, that could give me stats on the avg. length of the pages so that the community can have some gauges on how robust the pages are generally are. Would you know if there are any other tools that I can make use of? Lesliechung26 (talk) 06:43, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- that's correct, redirects are excluded as well as some namespaces (depending on config).
- If you have SQL access, i would suggest using that for add-hoc statistics. For example the following sql query:

How to change the WikiEditor insert link suggestions.
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi All,
So I think I may have done this a long time ago but cannot remember how. I would like to change the suggestions offered by the 2010 WikiEditor. I am also using CirrusSearch, so it looks like I should either change the openapi call in WikiEditor js or maybe CirrusSearch settings to prefer subpages (which would be cool) in the suggester in general
The goal is to offer Subpages in the suggestions of the link inserter as that is the way my wiki is structured, so a preference for the end of the full page name is what I want.
Say my wiki has pages like recipe/bread/white bread recipe/bread/whole wheat recipe/bread/gluten free bread
So if they type 'bread' I'd like those three pages to be show in the link inserter. It seems to work on the left-hand side of the string only to.
TIA Bluedreamer1 (talk) 14:51, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- So I think I solved my issue, the CirrusSearch completer is off by default so I enabled it with
$wgCirrusSearchUseCompletionSuggester = 'yes';$wgCirrusSearchCompletionSuggesterSubphrases = ['build' => true,'use' => true,'type' => 'subpage','limit' => 20,];- Then I ran
UpdateSuggesterIndex.php - Then I changed build back to false and it works nicely now
$wgCirrusSearchCompletionSuggesterSubphrases = ['build' => false,'use' => true,'type' => 'subpage','limit' => 20,];Bluedreamer1 (talk) 00:47, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Can a CMS-agnostic contact-form putted inside a wiki page?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
All-core, TimeLess skinned MediaWiki 1.35.1 with no addons besides a CMS-agnostic backend-frontend (HTML-PHP-JavaScript-CSS) contact form. I don't want to install any addons.
To access the CMS-agnostic contact form I go to a webpage such as example.com/contact.html.
My problem
My problem is that this webpage is a standalone webpage without all the bounty of a MediaWiki skin (header, middle, footer, logo, sidebar, menus, etc.).
My question
Can I somehow "plant" or "inject" or "present" or whatever term suitable here the form in its entirety (the output of the HTML, PHP, JavaScript and CSS file/s) inside a Wikipage?
Notes
- The PHP of the form is very minimal and is a utilization of the PHP mail() function so I wouldn't have a problem to put all of it in LocalSettings.php
- The main reason I want to do this is because I don't want to start complexing the form's standalone webpage with links to a "previous page" (which might not be in my site") or to my home page and things like that (logo, disclaimers, etc.) so I just need a way to put it in a wiki page with all these. 2001:44C8:470C:20E7:6CBF:BB98:93CD:63F8 (talk) 17:14, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- You could use Extension:Widgets to add the HTML form, which has your php script as the target. I guess the php script could redirect to a wiki page once it's sent the email, so that the user only sees wiki pages. Jonathan3 (talk) 20:48, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks @Jonathan3 I do very much need a non-addon solution, just to do it with core somehow.... I could write some JavaScript and CSS but all I need is just not exit the limits of working addonless, in this case. 2001:44C8:44C0:71A8:D12F:70A4:1772:DFCB (talk) 03:42, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Jonathan3 also, I want to use the HTML that I myself developed... 2001:44C8:44C0:71A8:D12F:70A4:1772:DFCB (talk) 08:19, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- You can write it all yourself.
- Just create the HTML form and put it in a Widget on the wiki. If you don't want to use the Widgets extension you could use Manual:$wgRawHtml (which has its own problems). There are probably any number of ways of getting a HTML form onto a wiki page.
- Then create the php script to deal with the form. I'm pretty sure it could send the email and redirect back to a wiki page. Jonathan3 (talk) 09:56, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Should allowing raw HTML turn all external links form nofollow to dofollow?
Should allowing raw HTML turn all external links form nofollow to dofollow?
If I would have to bet, I'd bet that no, because if I understood the manual correctly, raw HTML in MediaWiki is only about code that comes between two internal <html></html> tags; yet I still ask to ensure that existing links would not be effected in suddenly becoming "dofollow" links if I allow raw HTML.

Namespaces To Be Searched Default
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi, I want to be searched by default not only pages, but also categories.
I tried this manual but it seems not to work:
Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault
There I tried to use this line in LocalSettings.php:
$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault[NS_CATEGORIES] = true; Servant of Lord Jesus (talk) 15:54, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think the constant is NS_CATEGORY. Jonathan3 (talk) 21:35, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault[NS_CATEGORY] = true;
- Solved! Servant of Lord Jesus (talk) 06:26, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
Error displaying templates for copyright
Hello,
i was importing templates of copyright (e.g. [https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-4.0]) but them are not displayed at all. So i tried to import other pages (like Template:Documentation, Module:TNT, Template:CC-notice ecc...) but i got the following internal error:
[8cd798cebba44567fed73bde] /wiki/index.php/Template:CC-notice MWException from line 630 of C:\xampp\htdocs\wiki\extensions\Scribunto\includes\engines\LuaStandalone\LuaStandaloneEngine.php: Scribunto_LuaStandaloneInterpreter::encodeLuaVar: unable to convert object of type stdClass
Is simplier to create my own templates of copyright or i can fix this error quite easily? Cible30 (talk) 19:51, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- The message says that something is wrong with your Scribunto installation which will support the programming language Lua.
- I do not know how to remedy that.
- “simplier to create own templates” – well, if you want to solve this particular problem, probably yes.
- In the long run you should try to fix that Lua support issues.
- Many templates occurring in WMF wikis will rely on various other templates and Lua modules. And every WMF wiki is using other things which might be incompatible but share the same name.
- If templates are using a lot of other ingredients you do not know yet and functionality you do not need then brute force and simple text might be a better idea rather than copying a huge number of ingredients every time. A large wiki will organize central maintenance for 10,000 templates and applications by transcluding boring stuff from central sources. If you have just three templates you won’t need that. Gib Senf dazu! (talk) 09:23, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Ok so if someone reply about Scribunto error it might be useful for me in the future but for now i think i write the templates manually.
- Thank you! Cible30 (talk) 14:02, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

How do I download "Edit" and "History" from the page bar?
Maybe it's better that the surfers did not know that the page can be edited :) Novike (talk) 08:59, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- "Download" as how? and to where? – Ammarpad (talk) 11:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- On Vector the edit tab is within an li tag with id ca-edit, and the history tab is within an li tag with id ca-history. I guess if you were to put the following into MediaWiki:Common.css it would hide them. I've not tested it so can't be sure.
- Jonathan3 (talk) 11:05, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
#ca-edit, #ca-history { display: none; } - Thank you, working part time Novike (talk) 11:56, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Are there pages not editable/with static content we can leverage for testing purpose?
hi, my development team is querying Wiki APIs to retrieve content for a given topic.
As part of testing end to end in Production, we are checking that when a topic is queried certain paragraphs surface. However, content may change over time because of different revisions, so we were wondering if there are any pages which are not editable(e.g. protected pages) we can query for our tests without having to create a new test page just for this on wiki? 188.28.98.175 (talk) 13:21, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- bumping this one, and clarifying the question is simply: Are there any pages not editable/with static content? 188.28.98.175 (talk) 14:42, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- These pages seem to be protected: Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Security. Jonathan3 (talk) 14:48, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks Jonathan3! I see that they have some new revisions, does that mean that protected pages are still edited right? is there any wiki page for which you can guarantee the content won't change/will v rarely change? 188.28.98.175 (talk) 15:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Special:blankpage but you cant access via the api. (And even that is subject to editing i18n message)
- Generally no, everything is editable of you have sufficient rights Bawolff (talk) 15:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- You can create a page on the MediaWiki: namespace. Those pages are protected by default (only editable for users with the editinterface right). Since it's on this namespace, it won't display on Special:Random and generally it won't be indexed by search engines nor displayed on normal searches. Give it a distinct name that wouldn't clash with an existing or future message (like MediaWiki:Custom_test_page) and you should be good to go. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:10, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Contact Page Extension
I needed to have a Contact page on my wiki. I tried to install the Extension:ContactPage but it shows fatal error. Then I to report the issue and found it has been reported previously. Then I posted the error I found from my installation 4 months ago (Extension talk:ContactPage/Archive 2/Flow export#h-Fatal_Exception-2020-10-03T20:31:00.000Z). But as I did not got any reply and the issue exists till today I though this extension is abandoned.
Can anyone please confirm that am I the only person who is facing the issue or it is happening for others too?

VisualEditor Gadgets - Problems when adding multiple Templates
Hi, I adapted this example to add a template using VisualEditor Gadgets: VisualEditor/Gadgets/Add a tool
I customized it according to my needs, but the problem I have also exists with the code from the sample without any changes. It works very well generally, I do have only one problem in the VisualEditor "visual" mode. When I add the template via the menue, I can then press the "edit" button of the template in the VisualEditor and edit the parameters of the template. I can also use the menue a second time to add the same template a second time. When I then edit the parameter of the second template, also the parameter of the first already inserted templates get modified which surely is not intended to happen.
I guess it is because the tool insers the same instance of the object again instead of creating a new object or something like that (?), but my JavaScript expertise is not good enough to know what I need to change here. If someone has a hint I would be thankful. Thank you Brue (talk) 12:06, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

I did url-encode it like all my parameters and this shows in the request body, and I always generate a different token every time, but it's not working. 2A02:587:920B:8C00:B050:56E4:F7BA:EF5E (talk) 13:16, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

- a lot of things could go wrong here,its basically impossible to say without knowing more:
- does your wiki work generally. Can you login normally?
- are you sending correct cookies with request
- are you using correct token type
- is token actually being sent correctly

Link To CiteThisPage (Solved)
I have installed the CiteThisPage extension and it works as it should except no link is generated under Page Tools. Is there a way to add a sidebar link to cite the current page? 216.176.132.213 (talk) 14:25, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- by default it only shows up in content namespaces (manual:$wgContentNamespaces) and namespaces specified in $wgCiteThisPageAdditionalNamespaces. Is the page you are looking at a content namespace?
- If its still not showing up, maybe a skin issue. what skin are you using? Bawolff (talk) 09:34, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

- hmm. I dont see cite this page link on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Marks_of_Broughton?useskin=timeless . Maybe it is a timeless bug. I suggest filing a bug at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org making sure to add both Timeless and extension-CiteThisPage as tags. Bawolff (talk) 02:50, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- There's a 'cite this page' link at the bottom right under Wiki Tools (at least for me) – Ammarpad (talk) 06:45, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

The font of Japanese characters in my wiki's editor interface has changed. How do I revert this?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi, it seems that over night, the font of Japanese text in my own wiki has changed from this to this. I don't know why, since I didn't access the server files or changed anything around.
Does anyone know what could've happened or how I can fix it? :/
Update: So it seems like the monospaced font is at fault. I use it in both my own wiki and the Japanese wiki. But as you can see on the pictures, it looks fine in the latter and weird in the former...
Update 2: So for whatever reason, I had to change the font Firefox uses for serif fonts to MS Gothic (instead of standard TNR). This is despite using monospaced font in my user settings on the wiki.
I don't know what exactly is going on, but I feel like it has to do with the most recent FF update, don't know. Seelentau (talk) 18:41, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

How do I revert entire imports?
Hello!
I imported the incorrect pages, and I am wondering if there is an easy way to simply just revert the import?
Thanks. Carolina2k22 (talk) 00:22, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Where do you import the incorrect pages?
- See this Special:GadgetUsage ↠Tanbirzx (✉) 04:34, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- I imported incorrect pages on my own wiki, and what do I look at on the gadget usage page? Carolina2k22 (talk) 06:18, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- gadgetusage seems unrelated to this question.
- Basically if you didn't make a backup its pretty annoying. Easiest would be to make a one off script to look at the import log and then delete all the pages. So basically the answer is no. Bawolff (talk) 09:26, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
I have enabled raw HTML but I can't include HTML files with rel="import"
- MediaWiki 1.35.1.
- I have enabled raw HTML by adding
$wgRawHtml = true;to the end of my LocalSettings.php file and I can present HTML files directly inside MediaWiki articles. - But, for some reason, I can't include HTML files with
rel="import". - For example, I can access example.com/contact_form.html from my browser, but if I do do the following inside
<html></html>tags in a wiki article, that very webpage won't appear there:How solve that problem? 2001:44C8:4559:C64F:D82C:DE61:659E:8AAF (talk) 10:36, 27 March 2021 (UTC)<html> <head> <link rel="import" href="https://example.com/contact_form.html"> </head> </html>

- google chrome removed support for html imports last year https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5144752345317376 . No other browser ever supported it as far as i know.

Revert edits in multiple pages?
I want to revert the 300 or so latest edits on my wiki that were done via the ReplaceText extension and attributed to a specific user. Is there any easy way of doing that? There have not been any other edits since. MW 1.31. Spiros71 (talk) 14:54, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- You can use ReplaceText with the reverse paramaters: so if you changed "cat" to "dog", use ReplaceText to change "dog" to "cat". This, of course, will be harder in case there were instances of "dog" before you made the change. Leaderboard (talk) 15:18, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, but in my case it is much more complex than that :) Pity there is no such function in MW. Spiros71 (talk) 08:17, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Missing Images (After Upgrade)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
So I upgraded MediaWiki tonight to version 1.35. Something strange happened. The images on our Main Page are broken. https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Main_Page. Clicking through to one of the pages (https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Larry_Jansen) the image is broken there as well. Going to the file page (https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/File:LarryJansen.jpg) it says "No file by this name exists, but you can upload it".
If I try to upload it, it tells me the file already exists and it's the same as an image already there. The file is on the filesystem as well.
I can't really figure out what to do. It seems to only be images that are being used on the Main_Page. I tried `rebuildImages.php` but that didn't seem to make a difference. NickSportsRef (talk) 04:34, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

$wgUploadPath not set in LocalSettings.php
Sometimes it's the simple things... like trying to configure MW to use an uploaded image file for the logo, as per the documentation (option 1): Manual:FAQ#How do I change the logo?
In my case (fresh install), I've deployed files to /w and run the installation script. MediaWiki seems to run successfully but tracing $wgUploadPath in LocalSettings.php suggests it's not being set to the default value ("$wgScriptPath/images"), as it should be by includes/DefaultSettings.php and includes/Setup.php. Instead, I get an empty string--why?!?
$wgEnableUploads is set true and uploading works fine. The logo file can be successfully uploaded to and served from the images directory.
I can work around this in LocalSettings.php as follows but doing so feels dirty:
$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images";
$wgLogos = [ '1x' => "{$wgUploadPath}/2/20/logo-135-test.jpg" ];
This also works:
{$wgScriptPath}/images
includes/DefaultSettings.php:
/**
* The URL path for the images directory.
* Defaults to "{$wgScriptPath}/images".
*/
$wgUploadPath = false;
includes/Setup.php:
if ( $wgUploadPath === false ) {
$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images";
} Michhes (talk) 11:16, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- > tracing $wgUploadPath in LocalSettings.php suggests it's not being set to the default value ("$wgScriptPath/images")
- What did you do to "trace" it?
- It is the expected behaviour that it would be false in LocalSettings.php, and the empty string in a string interopolation context. If you use it to make another variable, you have to set it explicitly (or use extension function callback but i dont teccomend that for this case).
- To be clear, the default behaviour is to set to $wgScriptPath/images after LocalSettings.php. we can't set it before or during LocalSettings.php because we dont yet know what you set $wgScriptPath to. Bawolff (talk) 19:58, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, that makes sense (I wasn't clear on the execution order of the various files and was thrown by the online documentation which refers to $wgLogo, the inline documentation which refers to $wgLogos, and the default logo which also refers to $wgLogos).
- It's rudimentary but I just stuck a print statement in my LocalSettings.php file right before I use $wgUploadPath to assign $wgLogos:
- print "wgUploadPath: {$wgUploadPath}";
- #$wgLogos = [ '1x' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/wiki.png" ];
- $wgLogos = [ '1x' => "{$wgUploadPath}/2/20/logo-135-test.jpg" ];
- So instead of the above, I'll now do this (which works):
- $wgLogos = [ '1x' => "{$wgScriptPath}/images/2/20/logo-135-test.jpg" ]; Michhes (talk) 11:36, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Populating Category pages
I am a contributor to the Mythtv wiki which I understand is based on Mediawiki.
Yesterday I did a few small edits to one of my pages:
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_Editor
and included links (at the foot of the page) to two extra category pages: ‘HOWTO’ and ‘Knowledge Base’.
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:HOWTO
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Knowledge_Base
You can link to the category pages from my page but the reverse links – back to my page- only appear in the category pages whilst the reader is logged in. Log out and they vanish, login and they reappear.
Another contributor has confirmed that he experiences this too.
The category links I created back in 2018 are fine, though I recall that I had to perform ‘null’ edits to the category pages to make them stick. That trick no longer works as I can no longer do ‘null’ edits.
Can anyone shed light on this? How can I populate the category pages?

PhilBrady (talk) 11:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- there was a long standing bug where category pages aren't purged from varnish/browser cache on category additions (hence effecting logged out only).
- You can force purge the category page by going to https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Knowledge_Base?action=purge
- See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T26575 for the bug Bawolff (talk) 19:52, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Can't seem to restrict Module namespace?
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 trying to restrict Module editing just to sysop but none of the normal namespace protection things seem to work. I've copied other protections from my wiki (e.g. Template - which does work fine), but users can always edit Module pages. Here's my latest detailed config - all users with normal 'edit' rights can edit the page. Any clues?
$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_MODULE] = ['edit-module'];
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit-module'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit-module'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['edit-module'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['edit-module'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['manualconfirmed']['edit-module'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['edit-module'] = true; 91.125.240.46 (talk) 21:45, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Use the literal 828 instead of NS_MODULE.
$wgNamespaceProtection[828] = ['edit-module'];- The constant may not be available in LocalSettings.php and you're probably suppressing errors/notices, so you don't see anything. Ammarpad (talk) 05:29, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

OAuth 2 extension problem, with Wikibase 1.35 (docker-compose)
Hi,
I'm trying to use the OAuth 2 extension included in the Wikibase 1.35 (docker-compose bundle, found here : https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-docker).
First, I've tried OAuth2, just with this url in my browser :"myWikiUrl"/w/rest.php/oauth2/resource/profile
And I've got this error :
"Notice: Key file "file://" permissions are not correct, recommend changing to 600 or 660 instead of 755 in /var/www/html/extensions/OAuth/vendor/league/oauth2-server/src/CryptKey.php on line 63 "
So, I've generated private and public keys, with :
openssl genrsa -out private.key 2048
openssl rsa -in private.key -pubout -out public.key
Then, I've added those parameters : $wgOAuth2PrivateKey and $wgOAuth2PublicKey , to the end of my LocalSettings.php file, and I've set them to my generated keys paths.
I "chmod 660", the keys and "chown" them to www-data:www-data .
Then, I've tried to authenticate with PostMan, with an OAuth 2 configuration : "Authorization Code" Grant type, a Callback URL, an Auth URL : "w/rest.php/oauth2/authorize" , an Access Token URL : "w/rest.php/oauth2/access_token", my Cliend ID and my Client Secret, and with the option "Client Authentication send as Basic Auth header".
The authentication was ok, but the access_token returned this error (same error if I used : "myWikiUrl"/w/rest.php/oauth2/resource/profile ) :
<br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Method MediaWiki\Extensions\OAuth\Entity\AccessTokenEntity::__toString() must not throw an exception, caught ParseError: syntax error, unexpected 'Parser' (T_STRING), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) or const (T_CONST) in <b>/var/www/html/extensions/OAuth/vendor/league/oauth2-server/src/ResponseTypes/BearerTokenResponse.php</b> on line <b>0</b><br />↵
I don't know what is not correct..

- (I don't speak German?). Set $wgTmpDirectory to a writable directory. – Ammarpad (talk) 18:47, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- make sure the web server can access C:\Windows\Temp and can creare subdirectories.
- Otherwise set TEMP environment variable to somewhere writeable by the webserver. Bawolff (talk) 00:42, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
favicon.ico:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
MediaWiki 1.35.1 all-core with Skin:Timeless.
I don't use a favicon and prefer not to use one.
Each time I access the browser console in devtool I get this message:
favicon.ico:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
How to get rid of this error?
I am afraid it might sabotage the rest of my JavaScript processing. 2001:44C8:4559:C64F:440B:B7A8:4591:9F13 (talk) 15:19, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- > I am afraid it might sabotage the rest of my JavaScript processing
- It won't (its not a javascript error or related to js).
- You can set $wgFavicon = false; which will stop mediawiki from setting one. However most browsers will assume that favicon.ico in the root web directory is the favicon if the website does not set one, and hence is outside of mediawiki's control. Bawolff (talk) 00:38, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- I am not sure if I understood you correctly.
- I have added to the end of my LocalSettings.php the code
$wgFavicon = false;(which was not there before) and saved the file. - I then totally refreshed the webpage with CTRL+Shift+R in both Chrome and Edge and both displayed an error:
- Chrome error
GET DOMAIN/favicon.ico 404 favicon.ico:1
- Edge error
GET DOMAIN/favicon.ico 404 favicon.ico:1
- Do you think this is totally unrelated to MediaWiki?

Log In from other site ClientLogin doesnt work
Hi
I have this problem where i'm trying to log in to my media wiki (www.biblioteca.xxxxx.com) from another site (www.somesite.com) using ClientLogin.
$temp_folder = '../app/Http/Biblioteca/Cookies/';
$cookie_jar = tempnam($temp_folder,'cookie');
$endPoint = "http://www.biblioteca.xxxxxxx.com/api.php";
$params = [
"action" => "query",
"meta" => "tokens",
"type" => "login",
"format" => "json"
];
$url = $endPoint . "?" . http_build_query( $params );
$ch = curl_init( $url );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_jar );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_jar );
$output = curl_exec( $ch );
$result = json_decode( $output, true );
$token = $result['query']['tokens']['logintoken'];
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $endPoint,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',

),
));
$output = curl_exec( $ch );
curl_close( $ch );
echo($output);
I get PASS code but when i redirect to 'http://www.biblioteca.xxxxxxx.com' im not loged in.
Sorry for bad english CodingCred (talk) 19:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- this code is in my www.somesite.com project, my 'www.biblioteca.xxxxxx.com' WikiMedia version is 1.29 CodingCred (talk) 19:52, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- ?How can i get it to redirect and already be logged in? CodingCred (talk) 19:53, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- you're sending a redirect to the browser? The browser would not have the cookies that got set to curl so it would not be logged in.
- This is not the right approach to do single sign on. See SessionManager for the reccomended approach. Bawolff (talk) 00:30, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- @CodingCred Also note that 1.29 is an ancient insecure version which has been unsupported for 30 months and has seurity issues. Please use recent and secure software versions. Malyacko (talk) 07:29, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
word-wrap large numbers
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 noticed that MediaWiki doesn't have a native way to word-wrap large numbers in wikitext. They are wrapped when using the SyntaxHighlightPages plaintext page content model, but not when using the MediaWiki plaintext page content model or the MediaWiki wikitext page content model. Can you recommend a way to insert a wordbreak (<wbr />) once every 16 (or 10) characters? I can use an external text editor to insert <wbr /> after every "0", but for irrational numbers, that means that the wordbreaks are randomly distributed. It would look nicer on the wikipage if they were evenly distributed instead.
No breaks:

- Hm. It looks like the Flow extension does wrap the numbers. But need this for mainspace pages. Nicole Sharp (talk) 20:27, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- it might depend on your skin & css.
- you could ass some css to set overflow-wrap: break-word;
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow-wrap Bawolff (talk) 00:27, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks!!! I didn't know that CSS could control linebreaks/wordbreaks. That worked. I was also able to get it working by using
syntaxhighlight. SyntaxHighlight blocks off the large number from the regular wikitext, so that is probably the best option. - CSS:

How to Change Footer Links in Vector Skin
I'm trying to follow this with mediawiki 1.35.1
Manual:Hooks/SkinAddFooterLinks
I've tried registering the hook in the skin.json, and then adding the following to Hooks.php
public static function onSkinAddFooterLinks( Skin $skin, string $key, array &$footerlinks ) { if ( $key === 'places' ) { $footerlinks['my_url'] = Html::rawElement( 'a', [ 'href' => 'https://my.url/' ], 'My URL' ); } }
without the if statement, so that the link should show up on the footer of every page.
This doesn't seem to change the footer links at all. I already have some default links, but have no idea how to edit them or add more (using this method).
Please let me know what to do, thanks! Overfeedrumbling (talk) 06:51, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

- sounds like a referential integrity issue. You are probably missing an entry in the text table with old_id=17846 Bawolff (talk) 00:45, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick response Bawolff.
- When I run SELECT * FROM kb_text WHERE old_id = 17846
- Nothing there
- I do find the ID under kb_revision
- SELECT * FROM kb_revision WHERE rev_id = 17846
| rev_id | rev_page | rev_comment_id | rev_actor | rev_timestamp | rev_minor_edit | rev_deleted | rev_len | rev_parent_id |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17846 | 5161 | 0 | 0 | 20091022175611 | 0 | 0 | 20 | 0 |
- Legaulph (talk) 14:09, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks Legaulph (talk) 14:09, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- That's probably a coincidence (rev_id and text.old_id use different numbering schemes).
- You could try adding a dummy entry for that id into the text table. Bawolff (talk) 01:37, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks Bawolff,
- I actually had 2 ids it was failing on and I inserted them both and the site came up.
- I have some other issues so I probably will add another issue.

Short Urls on Nginx raise 404 Error on /wiki/File:Image.png/.gif/.jpg Only
We are migrating our installation from an Apache (Bitnami) to Nginx on Ubuntu 20 (Focal). Installation and upgrade went smoothly. Using ImageMagick for thumbnails.
Followed the manual to create Short URLs and they seem to work fine except for images ONLY - a 404 error is displayed. Add anything after the image extension (eg. '/wiki/FILE:image.png.aaa' and the normal wiki "not found" is raised.)
Appears to be a rewrite issue. Following the manual added the following in the nginx config
[...]
# Handling for the article path (pretty URLs)
location /wiki {
rewrite ^/wiki[/]?([^\?]*) /index.php?title=$1&$args last;
}
[...]
Not sure what I am missing. Please help! User9216 (talk) 20:41, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've not looked at your config line yet but is the problem below your only one?
- "Add anything after the image extension (eg. '/wiki/FILE:image.png.aaa' and the normal wiki "not found" is raised.)"
- That seems normal. Jonathan3 (talk) 04:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

How to upgrade PHP without upgrading MediaWIKI?
Hi,
I'm running MediaWIKI 1.28.0 (includes PHP 5.6.24). I would like to upgrade PHP version to 5.6.X where X is 25 or higher. I don't want to upgrade MediaWIKI.
I couldn't find any instructions on this can be done.
Regards
James Jamesyoungottawa (talk) 13:39, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- This is a PHP issue not MediaWiki's. This (https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration56.php) seems closer to what you're looking for. If after upgrading, you got new problem for MediaWiki, then you should probably upgrade that too. – Ammarpad (talk) 13:44, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- From a security point of view using end-of-life (EOL) and unsupported versions is not a good idea.
- PHP: Unsupported Branches indicates that PHP 5.6.x went EOL over 2 years ago.
- And Version lifecycle shows MediaWiki 1.28.0 is long EOL as well. It isn't even the 'latest' 1.28.x release. Look at Release notes/1.28, which indicates you've missed two security releases. Peculiar Investor (talk) 14:01, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- It looks from the Compatibility chart that you won't have any problem upgrading PHP but keeping the existing MediaWiki version. Jonathan3 (talk) 04:52, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
