Toolforge warning
I tried accessing Toolforge today and I got this warning:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! It is also possible that a host key has just been changed. The fingerprint for the [] key sent by the remote host is []. Please contact your system administrator. Add correct host key in [] to get rid of this message. [] Host key for login.toolforge.org has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed.
I have removed [some information] thinking maybe it shouldn't be public. What does it mean exactly and what should my course of action be? Can someone help me? Klein Muçi (talk) 11:56, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- It probably means they reinstalled the operating system. The error means that you are talking to a different computer than last time you connected. In theory it could be someone evesdropping on the connection, but in practise it usually just means toolforge was updated.
- If your paranoid, check the value against those listed at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:SSH_Fingerprints/login.toolforge.org Bawolff (talk) 15:19, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Bawolff, thanks a lot for the straightforward answer! What exactly should I be changing so it allows me to login in again?
- This: login.toolforge.org,185.15.56.48 ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2VjZHNhLXNoYTItbmlzdHAyNTYAAAAIbmlzdHAyNTYAAABBBFnJSjCGW7kli+cdgtmndPAl4xLZNc9uqP9KWlsnVDqr8yQ2RkR5ACbXe6XZ+dS09Wc9ulOmGTOwCImMi9Fho78=

- That can't be right because I already tried that and I got the same message while still not being allowed to log in. Klein Muçi (talk) 15:36, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Generally i just delete the particular line from the config file (on next login it will ask if you want to trust, if you press y it will add an appropriate line back). Usually there are 2 lines you need to remove, one for the domain name and one for the ip address. Bawolff (talk) 15:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- It worked and I'm now logged in. I deleted the old file as well.
- Last question: In my known hosts, beside Toolforge, I also had this:
- [gerrit.wikimedia.org]:29418,[208.80.154.137]:29418 ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza...+oVFf1CgQ==
- What exactly is that and would I need to change anything in regard to it or does the Toolforge update not have any connection whatsoever with that? Klein Muçi (talk) 15:55, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- They are separate. Gerrit is the wikimedia code review tool (which also uses ssh). If you ever used git review (or git push) on a wikimedia code base, that is where that line comes from. Bawolff (talk) 16:12, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- I have. Again, thanks a lot for the fast and straightforward answers. My past experiences with WikiTech stuff have been frustrating and I've usually been redirected in the IRC chat channels. I saw that you were singlehandedly handling all the request here and that's to be appraised. Thank you and have a good day! :) Klein Muçi (talk) 16:16, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Klein Muçi, Remember if you use cloud services, It's highly recommend to subscribe to at least the cloud-announce mailing list, The relevant topic for this announcement was [Cloud-Announce] [IMPORTANT] login.toolforge.org now points to Buster Grid Engine, for your first post. P858snake (talk) 11:53, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- @P858snake, where do I subscribe to these mailing lists? Klein Muçi (talk) 12:22, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Klein Muçi Create a account on our Mailman install (or login, if you already have one) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/ then if you navigate to the clouds-announce mailing list and choose the subscription option. P858snake (talk) 11:01, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Wow, so many possible lists! Is the "Mailman install" a new thing? I didn't have an account for it apparently but I remember doing something more old-school for subscription in the past. I created an account and indeed I had some lists I had subscripted to already. I'm very much fond of this "new way" though. I did subscribe to it. Thank you for assisting me through this! Klein Muçi (talk) 14:35, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Klein Muçi We migrated from Mailman 2.X to 3.X last April/May which brought quite a few improvements. P858snake (talk) 21:44, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for this discussion! I just had the same issue. Thank you @Bawolff for the link to the SSH fingerprints. TiagoLubiana (talk) 02:12, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Tell search engines not to crawl anything which isn't part of the main namespace and Category namespace
MediaWiki 1.36.1 with long URLs.
I want to tell search engines not to crawl anything which isn't part of the main namespace and Category: namespace.
How to do that?
I currently use the following code written by @Bawolff but I am not sure why is the allow: are there because we already blocked anything else by the two disallow: didn't we?
disallow: /index.php? disallow: /index.php/*: allow: /index.php/Category: allow: /index.php/קטגוריה:
79.179.161.198 (talk) 15:59, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- In Hebrew קטגוריה means category. 79.179.161.198 (talk) 15:59, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Allow overrides disallow Bawolff (talk) 16:10, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- No, "allow" doesn't exist in robots.txt syntax
- http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 08:01, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Ciencia Al Poder I assume it existed in the past and was scrapped. Am I wrong? 79.179.161.198 (talk) 12:14, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, you're wrong. Maybe some search engines support it, but that's not a standard thing Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:57, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Ciencia Al Poder
- Thanks
- I guess I am willing to sacrifice crawling of category pages for sole crawling of articles, as articles are the main "meat" which brings readers to my website and if I need to sacrifice a million other webpages (including category pages) just that articles would be the only thing crawled, I guess I should painfully do that.
- I'll keep using the "non standard" exception suggested by Bawolff though, just in case. 79.179.161.198 (talk) 13:00, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Both google and bing support allow. I'm not sure what other search engines exist anymore. Bawolff (talk) 14:03, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Two MediaWiki developers here say contradicting things :)
- By whom's say should I go? :) 79.179.161.198 (talk) 14:18, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Read the documentation of each crawler, because robots.txt is not MediaWiki related Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 14:20, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Ciencia Al Poder
- I didn't think it was MediaWiki related...
- From my check, it is true that in the page you linked to, the term
allow:isn't mentioned, but it might effect as legacy or would suddenly be added (or returned) so I keep it. In case I'm impressed it's a problem to keep it, I'll remove it. - I agree that getting updated about changes in robots.txt language is important. 79.179.161.198 (talk) 14:29, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Not one have I bumped in webmasters "arguing" about if
allow:effects or not. Strange. 79.179.161.198 (talk) 14:30, 2 May 2022 (UTC) - We're not really disagreeing with each other.
- Allow is not in the official standard. It is however supported by most of the prominent implementations. Whether or not that fits with your needs is something you have to determine yourself. Bawolff (talk) 20:02, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Bawolff But why is it needed here if one didn't do a general? 79.179.161.198 (talk) 16:51, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
disallow: /index.php
- Because,
/index.php/*:would normally match/index.php/Category:as * means match anything. Bawolff (talk) 18:34, 1 May 2022 (UTC) - A wildcard and an exception to the wildcard.
- Some webmaster in WebMasters StackExchange once told me that there is no regex in robots.txt, this may have biased me from finding the connection. 79.179.161.198 (talk) 20:29, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- This is glob syntax not regex, which is slightly different than regex for how it works and what is supported Bawolff (talk) 21:54, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Because,
I have a repository on GitHub. Need Guidance!
Hello support desk. I have a repo in GitHub called Hello-World. I've been struggling trying to find the right connections to contact to find out any information on this repo and where I have connected the initial coding. My UN on Git is Rockon21. I believe not positive I may have created the possibility for the new Web 3.0 platform to be developed. I did not fully develop the coding itself; other coders have implemented the fully functional code. I believe I created the possibility for this new coding concept and am not an expert coder by any means. I am trying to learn new things in regard to coding but there's just a lot to learn in what seems to be such a short time as people/companies are wanting to use this platform. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. This coming from an ex-helpdesk level 1 admin for clarification purposes. Thisguy12win (talk) 17:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi this doesn't seem to involve Wikimedia or MediaWiki. This help desk is for those topics only.
- Additionally, I'm not sure what your actual question is. Bawolff (talk) 18:33, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Intermittent 'internal server error'
I've just set up a new wiki and imported exactly one Wikipedia template/module combo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Interlinear, using Scribunto, along with the necessary ), and I'm getting intermittent 'internal server error' messages on preview / save:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@mirja.conlang.org to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
This error seems to be related to page content, in that if I delete most of the content of a page and then try to preview again, it'll work; but doing a/b testing with removing various bits of content gives no sensible trigger content - the last time I tried it, the error seemed to be triggered by a simple line of unformatted prose. A few minutes later exactly the same page content worked fine, and I saved it, at which point I ended up in a situation where trying to preview the unchanged page text triggered the error message! I set up a log file dump, but the log file is massive and I don't know where to look in it for anything related to my error.
Does anyone have any tips as to where to go to debug this, or a better means to find the problem than just adding a log file dump line to LocalSettings.php? 67.198.30.42 (talk) 21:47, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- (along with the necessary extra TemplateStyles extension*) 67.198.30.42 (talk) 21:48, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- What does your apache log file say?
- > I set up a log file dump, but the log file is massive and I don't know where to look in it for anything related to my error.
- I assume you mean mediawiki debug log file? For this type of error,that's probably not useful. I would reccomend looking at apache log first (as the error message is an apache error), and php log file second. Bawolff (talk) 21:53, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Where can I find/make the Apache log? I don't see anything like that in my current directory, and a quick glance at the MediaWiki page on debugging doesn't show anything useful. 67.198.30.42 (talk) 21:59, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Alright, after some searching, I found the log file; it seems like some of my page content is matching ModSecurity patterns and throwing false-positive security warnings?
- [Sun May 01 15:48:19.189908 2022] [:error] [pid 211720:tid 3635522836224] [client 67.198.30.42:13934] [client 67.198.30.42] ModSecurity: Warning.

- What in the world am I supposed to do to make this not happen? 67.198.30.42 (talk) 22:54, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ideally disable mod_security in your apache config. It causes all sorts of problems like this for very questionable benefits. I think in this case it doesn't like you using the word "if" followed by some other words. Bawolff (talk) 23:58, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'll go ahead and do that, but I'm definitely curious as to what the downsides of doing that might be! I'm not super well-informed about security things, so if I'm intentionally disabling a security feature it'd be nice to know what that opens me to. 67.198.30.42 (talk) 00:12, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Mod_security is a WAF, it tries to block things that look "evil".
- Unfortunately its not a very good one. Most of its rules have a lot of false positives. Additionally, most of them aren't broad enough to prevent someone actually evil from doing evil things. Bawolff (talk) 14:01, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Is there any plan to make the main namespace explicit?
Category:X indicates an explicit namespace.
Is there any plan to make the main namespace also explicit?
As with Main:Y?
The "problem to solve" here is that for me and maybe for some others it will just be more convenient, especially when working with robots.txt
For indication Project:Support desk/Flow/2022/05#h-Tell_search_engines_not_to_crawl_anything_which_isn't_part_of_the_main_namespace-2022-05-01T15:59:00.000Z 79.179.161.198 (talk) 00:13, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- No, it's not possible.
- I don't see why it would be more convenient for robots.txt if you want to prevent crawlers from indexing other namespaces, since in robots.txt, disallow takes precedence over allow, which makes no difference when the main namespace is prefixed or not, as you'll have to explicitly add disallow to all other namespaces. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 07:55, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Ciencia Al PoderWould have been more clear to me than:
disallow: /index.php? disallow: /index.php/*: # Block all namespaces with exceptions possible in advance allow: /index.php/Main: # Exception for Main: allow: /index.php/ראשי: # Exception for Main: allow: /index.php/Category: # Exception for Category: allow: /index.php/קטגוריה: # Exception for Category:
Of course that's just me. 79.179.161.198 (talk) 11:44, 2 May 2022 (UTC)disallow: /index.php? disallow: /index.php/*: # Block all namespaces with exceptions possible in advance allow: /index.php/Category: # Exception for Category: allow: /index.php/קטגוריה: # Exception for Category:
- The allow: rule is not standard, robots will ignore it Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:58, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Google supports allow https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/robots/robots_txt . Its not in the original robots.txt standard but most crawlers support a superset of features. Bawolff (talk) 13:59, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Unable to log into MediaWiki on Synology

I successfully installed Synology's version (1.35) of MediaWiki on my NAS but when I try to log in I get a cryptic message (in a pink square) saying there were problems... No hints as to what could be the reason.
Does this possibly ring a bell for anyone?
Thanks in advance,

- Furthermore, I tend to clear cache often for mind clarity, moving along from things of the past.
- Some people like me also deserve editing, but it's not just me, it's people who come here in general asking questions, it's for the community's sake, I'd say. 79.179.161.198 (talk) 14:07, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- You can Bugreport it. Beware that to report things in phabricator you'll need an account :) Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 14:14, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure you're the only person who has ever had this issue. I think its very unlikely we'll change the behaviour.
- After all, if someone is ideologically opposed to user accounts, why would they want us to secretly create a temporary account for them behind the scenes? The way it is currently, you can choose whether or not you want an account, and we respect your wishes by not maintaining an account session for you if you don't want it.

Facing issue in Building VPP
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 Team,
I am trying for building vpp in a vm.
Using ubuntu18.04 machine and cloned the vpp code from the below github page
"https://github.com/FDio/vpp/tree/stable/2106"
But after trying sudo make install-dep seeing the below errors

I find the error string in https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/mediawiki-formula/blob/master/mediawiki/mediawiki.sql which is an innodb call, and maybe isn't being called correctly in a postgreSQL install. DGessel (talk) 00:55, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

- @Ladsgroup - any insight? Would a conditional check for the index exists before dropping it avoid the update fail? Can this drop index just be commented out as a quick fix? DGessel (talk) 11:15, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
DROP INDEX md_module_skin; ALTER TABLE module_deps ADD PRIMARY KEY (md_module, md_skin);

Customcssprotected and Customjsprotected permissions
There are some sites that I've come across that have the (customcssprotected) and (customjsprotected) permissions. However these permissions don't have their own permission summaries. From what I've researched, they are similar to the (editusercss) and (edituserjs) permissions. But what's the difference? ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 03:33, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Those are not permissions, those are the errors returned when you do NOT have the permissions.

- The wiki in question is no longer active. And many of the users that used to administrate that wiki have moved to the forked version of that wiki. So I'm not sure whether it would accomplish anything. I've been trying to look for those said permissions on other sites, but now that I think of it, I'm not sure whether I've ever seen those permissions anywhere else. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

RSync Alarm wikipedia requests
Hey it seems the rsync is alarm if active at https://grafana.wikimedia.org/alerting/list and we are not getting success in all of our requests, who can we reach out to about fixing this? 99.102.84.25 (talk) 00:37, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- What is your actual concern?
- That page is not really meant for public consumption. Bawolff (talk) 05:03, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- We are starting to see a large increase in the number of our requests to Wikipedia API timing out starting as of yesterday 99.102.84.25 (talk) 10:58, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- It seems to align with when the two rsync alarms began to go into alarm state 99.102.84.25 (talk) 10:59, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Are you following API:Etiquette? Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 11:35, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Also, what's your user agent used for your requests? Malyacko (talk) 12:28, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- It is very unlikely that the rsync alarm has anything to do with that. Bawolff (talk) 15:28, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Is there any other change were going online yesterday that might possibly causing issue? like overall service connection issue? 75.172.125.42 (talk) 20:06, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Impossible to say without answers to all the currently unanswered questions in this thread. Malyacko (talk) 21:11, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- We are still checking our user agent and check the API Etiquette. But our code base has been out for a few years and the http request is falling suddenly since May 03. Anything possible might be causing the issue? 75.172.125.42 (talk) 17:22, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, see above: Ignoring the rate limits, for example. Malyacko (talk) 17:42, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- Could you please add more information for the "Ignoring the rate limit"?
- Btw after some investigation for the API Etiquette, here are some result:
- We usually just query 2 articles for the in the loop and the title is not piped, one of the title could be some transformation with removal the spaces.
- We do not continue send request for the result we get from another request, thus we do not have the generator thing in our use case.
- We still investigating around the gzip. Is there anything happened recently with gzip request? Like that become mandatory?
- And we are only seeing the issue partially, not every request we make is having issue. 75.172.125.42 (talk) 18:51, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- Gzip is not mandatory.
- Which wiki are the requests being made to? What type of api requests (do you have an example)? What is the timestamp in utc when you started noticing the issue? Are you logged in (if so what username makes request? If not, what IP?) What precisely do you mean by "timeout" (are you getting an http response that is an error,if so what error, is your connection just not connecting? Do you not just not recieve an http response after some time (how long), something else? Bawolff (talk) 05:36, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- There was database maintenance around this time. While it wasn't supposed to affect anything, there was some reports that it was causing temporary slowness. It may be related to your issue. Bawolff (talk) 15:06, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Which wiki are the requests being made to?
- What type of api requests (do you have an example)?
- It is a Get request send to en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
- What is the timestamp in utc when you started noticing the issue?
- Between 05/03/2022 9am to 10am UTC
- Are you logged in (if so what username makes request? If not, what IP?)
- No login with username, trying to get the ip.
- What precisely do you mean by "timeout" (are you getting an http response that is an error,if so what error, is your connection just not connecting?
- Sometimes for some queries the http request is not succeeded, no wiki response returned, with request aborted exception. Continue checking the specific http code.
- Do you not just not recieve an http response after some time (how long), something else?
- No response for 3s in US 97.113.61.16 (talk) 22:32, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Btw is the database maintenance still going on? We still seeing the issue on our side. 97.113.61.16 (talk) 01:10, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- No.
- Also, no response for 3 seconds sounds more like you should just increase your timeouts. A problem on wmf end would look more like getting a 503 error. Most api endpoints in normal times should respond within 3 seconds but that is not true of all of them. Bawolff (talk) 01:23, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Actually we have a retry. The first call is 3s whlle the second call is 5s.
- For the user agent we found mostly they are "Java/1.8.0_211-ea", and several of them are "Java/phoneme_advanced-Core-1.3-b16 sjmc-b111". 97.113.61.16 (talk) 21:38, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- And with the 5 s retry we are still seeing failure. 97.113.61.16 (talk) 21:58, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- > For the user agent we found mostly they are "Java/1.8.0_211-ea", and several of them are "Java/phoneme_advanced-Core-1.3-b16 sjmc-b111".
- Per WMF's user agent policy, this user agent isn't allowed and could potentially be blocked (you are probably not blocked, as you wouldget an error message). Your user agent must have a contact email adress in it and should have a descriptive name of your tool.
- Anyways, i would suggest a timeout of 60 seconds. Bawolff (talk) 00:51, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes we didn't see it completely blocked. Is this block up recently? Could you provide the WMF policy link to it or any related doc to it if it is possible? Could you also provide some example for the user agent that is expected?
- Meanwhile we will look into the timeout change. 97.113.61.16 (talk) 18:01, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Your not blocked (you would get an error message if you were). The WMF policy is just that that user agent can be blocked arbitrarily. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User-Agent_policy Bawolff (talk) 18:05, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ah ok, that makes sense. The strange thing about this issue is that we have not made any changes to our client code that is making these requests in several weeks and we have not seen any of these failures before and then all of a sudden on May 3, we see this immediate spike in timeout failures on up to 10% of our requests and it has continued at this rate since then. 67.185.173.77 (talk) 20:13, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, after more investigation, we got the http exception: Too many requests - for unthrottling, contact noc@wikimedia.org to discuss a less disruptive approach. And the status code is 429. And our current fix is to replace our user agent ("Java/1.8.0_211-ea", and "Java/phoneme_advanced-Core-1.3-b16 sjmc-b111") with another one ("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/533.3") then we stop receiving the throttle messages. And is happening only when POST request for parse the content.
- Was there anything could happen on May 03 and caused the throttle on these user agents (or a specific set of user agents) suddenly? What could be a safe user agent we could use for future? Should we exactly follow the user agent policy you posted above? Is there any email list(noc@wikimedia.org) we could join or any metrics we could follow incase this happen again in the future? 97.113.61.16 (talk) 17:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Pretty much what we said already about API:Etiquette. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- You are being blocked for not following the rules, follow the rules that were linked to you and you wont be blocked.
- > "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/533.3")
- Using this user agent is not allowed, and makes it less likely for you to be unblocked as explained in the pages you were linked, because unlike the java user agent which looks like you were accidentally breaking the rules, the browser user agent makes it look intentional. Bawolff (talk) 21:04, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm a bit puzzled by questions like "Should we exactly follow the user agent policy you posted above?" No because you are also free to ignore the rules and get blocked instead? :) Malyacko (talk) 22:13, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- We are from Kindle device and the request we send out that have issues are from Kindle device. While we doing some other investigation, is there a good/ safe user agent we could use?
- And for the current one we are using,
- > "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/533.3")
- Do you know how much time we will have before this one get blocked?
- Do we get any notification before we get blocked?
- And is there anything happened on May 03 that could cause this issue? As we have been using this one for years and we never seen this issue before. 97.113.61.16 (talk) 22:18, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- > is there a good/ safe user agent we could use?
- Any specific one. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User-Agent_policy
- > Do you know how much time we will have before this one get blocked?
- No, you should change it now to follow the rules.
- > Do we get any notification before we get blocked?
- No. At any time you can avoid getting blocked by following the rules.
- > And is there anything happened on May 03 that could cause this issue?
- Someone probably looked at logs and then took action. Malyacko (talk) 22:41, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Really sorry for the entry level question.
I am trying to use the following template. It is perfect for a specific need that I have.
Sadly though, I am unable to see underlying code so that I can copy paste it into my site.
Wondering if someone can explain how I get to see code on specific templates?
Especially the one above.

Old User New Problem
Hello guys!
Hope someone can assist me and my students' website that uses Mediawiki.
I can no longer log in to my Mediawiki website, the pages are all messed up and no one can post anything anymore.
A while back I was hacked and the original site went down. I still have that backed up somewhere, but I went to webarchive and got my content from last October and used a back up version as a clone to get it up and running again.
This clone started acting up a few days after I set it up.
The website is at goodtoknow.com
Any help would be appreciated.
Best,

Page is redirecting to local server name
Hello,
as newbee i updated my MediaWiki package to version 1.35.5-1050 on my Synology NAS DSM 7.
Since this update, I try to open one of my Wikipages. But choosing this page it links to my local server page, which is the IP Adress of my NAS (localhost).
Where can I find the data content of this wikipage in order to copy and past the content manually?
As i am a Newbee I did not backup anything yet.
Thanks for any support.
Gunnar Moveitrocks (talk) 09:29, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- To fix this you should adjust $wgServer in LocalSettings.php
- Generally i think of you append ?action=edit (or &action=edit) it will surpress the redirect. Bawolff (talk) 15:26, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Question about the Abusefilter-log-private permission
I'm trying to test the differences between trying to access log entries of private filters on a site where I have the (abusefilter-log-private) permission and trying to access log entries of private filters on a site where I don't have the (abusefilter-log-private) permission.
However I can't seem to find anything in the log entries on the site where I do have the (abusefilter-log-private) permission, that I am unable to find in the log entries on the site where I don't have the (abusefilter-log-private) permission.
Apparently users that try to view log entries of abuse filters marked as private without the (abusefilter-log-private) permission typically see this message:
One or more of the filter IDs you specified are private. Because you are not allowed to view the details of private filters, these filters have not been searched for.
But I'm not seeing it. Could it be that one of the other abuse filter related permissions is automatically giving me private filter detail access?
Here is a list of all the abuse filter related permissions that my account has on the site where I don't have the (abusefilter-log-private) permission:
(abusefilter-log)(abusefilter-log-detail)= doesn't work unless the user has(abusefilter-log)(abusefilter-modify)(abusefilter-revert)= probably doesn't work unless the user has(abusefilter-modify)(abusefilter-view)

Here's a list of all the other abuse filter related permissions for completeness:

https and pictures
Seit ich meine Seite auf https umgestellt habe, werden meine Bilder nicht mehr angezeigt!
Since i have my webspace in https, my pictures are not visible! What can i do? Beulemann (talk) 09:37, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- You should serve your pictures from https as well Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:21, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Wurde die $wgServer-Variable in der
LocalSettings.phpentsprechend angepasst? Osnard (talk) 10:54, 4 May 2022 (UTC) - wiki.mayenerjung.de Er erkennt das Zertifikat nicht. Obwohl https:// angezeigt wird.
- Was hat diese Variable mit https zu tun?
- Der Eintrag lautet:
- ## The protocol and server name to use in fully-qualified URLs
- $wgServer = "http://wiki.mayenerjung.de"; Beulemann (talk) 11:56, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Warum sagt die Variable http wenn die Seite https ist? Siehe zum Beispiel https://wiki.mayenerjung.de/images/thumb/7/76/Ernst_D_Adams.jpg/300px-Ernst_D_Adams.jpg - HTTP 500 error in der Fehlerkonsole des Browsers. Malyacko (talk) 12:23, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ich kann die Variable auf https ändern. Das ändert aber nichts am Problem! Er sagt ja irgenwie, er hat ein Problem mit den Bildern, dass diese nicht sicher seien und es deshalb einen gemischten Inhlat gibt! Beulemann (talk) 12:47, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- The "mixed content" problem is caused by the difference between http and https on the same page.
- Once you've solved that, which seems done already, there's a second problem: Requesting an image through https returns an HTTP 500 server error.
- You'll have to search in the apache logs what's causing this error. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 13:23, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's on a webspace STRATO i can not see the apache log files Beulemann (talk) 17:55, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Local wiki in xampp, MIME-Type error in Style Document
I have a local wiki on a windows xampp installation. The CSS-Style is missing since an update of Mediawiki and xampp. When inspecting the error in Firefox' Debug Console it says that there is a MIME-Type error in the Style Document and that it couldn't be loaded.
Investigating further, I came across the mention of a script path error in the LocalSettings.php, which was never touched (as far as I remember). Nethertheless here is the copy of the scriptpath and resourchpath variables:
$wgScriptPath = "";
## The protocol and server name to use in fully-qualified URLs
$wgServer = "http://localhost";
## The URL path to static resources (images, scripts, etc.)
$wgResourceBasePath = $wgScriptPath;
DocumentRoot and htdocs are set right, as I can fully access the wiki, just without any CSS.
As said: This is a local wiki installation with no access to the internet, so even "unsafe" solutions are welcome. 91.42.88.134 (talk) 17:32, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Can you load the css page in question in your browser? What is the contents - is it actual css but with the wrong mime type, an error page, or does it show up like an html page from your wiki? Bawolff (talk) 17:58, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- The Wiki is in full HTML Style glory. No further error what so ever. I tried everything form the php-Error Log in the LocalSettings to Syslog and only found per accident the MIME-Type error via F12 and debug console.
- I haven't modified the vector.css, because I was fine with vanilla. 91.42.88.134 (talk) 18:16, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, well... apparently, the Vector.css is empty... 91.42.88.134 (talk) 18:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- we need to know the contents of what the webserver returns for the load.php url with the wron mime type to know what is causing the problem. Bawolff (talk) 22:04, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Unfortunatly, this is everything I get:
- "The resource of "load.php?lang=de&modules=startup&only=scripts&raw=1&skin=vector" was blocked because of a MIME type conflict ("text/html") (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff).
- Loading failed for the <script> with the source "localhost/load.php?lang=de&modules=startup&only=scripts&raw=1&skin=vector".
- The resource of "localhost/load.php?lang=de&modules=skins.vector.styles.legacy&only=styles&skin=vector" was blocked because of a MIME type conflict ("text/html") (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff).
- The resource of "localhost/load.php?lang=de&modules=site.styles&only=styles&skin=vector" was blocked because of a MIME type conflict ("text/html") (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff)."
- And in the Debugger for index.php: "Error: Incorrect contents fetched, please reload."
- When I manually load the load.php, the Mainpage appears - again without CSS, but content in the index.php and a loading error in line 11: "<script async="" src="/load.php?lang=de&amp;modules=startup&amp;only=scripts&amp;raw=1&amp;skin=vector"></script>" 91.42.69.245 (talk) 19:13, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- > When I manually load the load.php, the Mainpage appears
- Ok, this usually means an apache misconfiguration (if you are using apache). What is the contents of your .htaccess file? Bawolff (talk) 21:21, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- After searching the htdocs Directory of my xampp and mediawiki installation, it appears, that there is no .htaccess file present.
- But it worked before the last upgrade. 80.128.159.197 (talk) 18:49, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- *But somehow it worked... 80.128.159.197 (talk) 18:53, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, I looked into the documentation of Apache and they say, that the htaccess is no longer necessary, if the httpd.conf is configured right.
- So here is the content of httpd.conf:
- <Directory />
- AllowOverride none
- Require all denied
- </Directory>
- DocumentRoot "G:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs"
- <Directory "G:/Local Projects/ProjectWiki">
- Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
- AllowOverride All
- Require all granted
- </Directory>
- Everything else in the httpd.conf is vanilla 91.42.65.190 (talk) 21:22, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- You presumably have more than that given that G:/Local Projects/ProjectWiki is not inside your document root. Bawolff (talk) 15:32, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- I shelfed the problem for a while and finally found the solution by accident: In the attempt to create a network access to the my local wiki, I accidentally wrote "DocumentRoot: [path]\index.php" in the vhost.conf. A big no-no.
- The apache server can not open a file for DocumentRoot and never fully loaded the wiki resources - which resulted in my problems.
- Hopefully this odysee can help others. 91.42.72.51 (talk) 20:58, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
save edit box size?
is there a way to save the size of the edit page box? i find i'm constantly extending the edit box size because it's too short, it would be nice not to have to do this every time i edit a page. 156.68.77.186 (talk) 18:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
New Mediawiki install. Pages copied over with images directory, images not showing
Hi,
I have installed a new mediawiki for a small team that needs pages kept private. When I copy a pages source while having the same images directory on the new server the pages look fine except for the images. Images will show as the size with a link that takes me to the upload special page. Is there any way to fix this so that the images which are still located in the copied images directory will show when simply coping the source of a page to the new wiki.
I have also tried exporting and importing the list of pages but doing so results in the error seen below:
Import failed: * Loss of session data. You might have been logged out. Please verify that you're still logged in and try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in, and check that your browser allows cookies from this site. * No interwiki prefix was supplied Wikianon444444 (talk) 19:45, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Monstr6 (talk) 07:59, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- It seems that the missing users have deleted their username on a SMF forum that was linked to the mediawiki through an extension 10 years ago. I dont think it would be good to delete those users since they may have records on the wiki. I am no coder and would like to have some help on a building a SQL query to replace all references to those user's IDs with a working user IDs. Thanks for your help :) Monstropedia.org Monstr6 (talk) 08:53, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
localization file not working
Hey,
I was trying to write a little extension for myself to do some checks on user emails during registration. Now most of that is working now so I wanted to add localization as it is required as per the doc. But i simply can't get it to work.
I added the
"MessagesDirs": {
"SomeNameExtension": [
"i18n"
]
},
to extension.json
and put two json files (de.json and en.json) in the i18n folder of the extension.
The content of both these files is
{
"SomeName-desc": "<some words>",
"SomeName-fail": "<some other words>"
}
i tried to use the -desc with the "descriptionmsg" in extension.json and the -fail with a $value->fatal( wfMessage( 'SomeName-fail' ) );
But in both cases it will just show ⧼SomeName-desc⧽ and not the actual string that should be pulled from the json.
The general language of the wiki is german so i assume it should pull from de.json by default? I tried force regenerating the localization cache but no change.
Maybe I am just making an obvious mistake. I am pretty fresh to the whole wiki thing. JJBBSS (talk) 12:39, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- It might be some localization cache issue. Try removing the extension from LocalSettings.php, saving, viewing a page, and then readding and viewing a new page. Normally this isnt neccessary, but it should flush out caches. Bawolff (talk) 21:10, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- hhm, i tried that but there was no change.
- any other ideas? JJBBSS (talk) 07:58, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- ok,
- I found the solution.
- I read the doc again here and noticed the sentence about message-ids being lowercase. I tried that and things magically worked.
- I did a little bit of limited testing and it seems to only break when the first character is capital. Seems to work fine with all the other letters as capital.
- I am not really sure if that is intended behavior but is seems kinda arbitrary to only enforce lower case in the first letter.
- But if it is intended behavior it should probably me made clear in the doc. Because how it is currently written makes it seem like it is optional recommendation.
- Ok, I dug into the logs a little bit and I found this log entry:
[DBQuery] LCStoreDB::get [0s] localhost: SELECT lc_value FROM `l10n_cache` WHERE lc_lang = 'de' AND lc_key = 'messages:someName-desc' LIMIT 1- so when testing with the different capital things it seems that the first letter of
lc_keyis always converted to lowercase but the others are not. - So
messages:SomeName-descbecomesmessages:someName-desc. This means the that query will not get a result because the value would be under SomeName while it searched under someName. - And when the key doesn't start capital, not conversion happens so the query finds the value just fine.
- Kinda inconsistent.
- Idk where in the code that query is created so I don't know why this happens. JJBBSS (talk) 09:47, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- This happens because MediaWiki always ignores the case of the first character of the page title by design (there are some exceptions to this). Since those texts can be modified directly on the wiki by editing the MediaWiki:xxxx page, this limitation ensures there may not be conflicting messages with upper and lowercase versions of the first character of the message name. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 11:16, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Alrighty,
- Thanks for the clarification.
- Though it might still be good to document this a little more clearly in the doc. JJBBSS (talk) 11:41, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Would probably be nice if we threw an exception for keys that start with uppercase letter. Bawolff (talk) 23:40, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- so you mean something like this?
- This seems to at least catch my specific problem

How to connect at db using Power BI
I wonder how I could make a connection using Power BI in order to download all pages where I have given my contribution, basicallly for the two following reasons:
- create a personal KPI about how many pages I traslated, how many have been approved with alteration or without
- download all the content of each page (including the revised on) in order to create a sort of glossary to guarantee the uniformity for all translation.
Database should be public, then it would be very easy to allow me to achieve this aim.
Looking forward to a positive response
Regards GpieroMW (talk) 17:04, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- What is "Power BI"? See also the API documentation how to pull data. Malyacko (talk) 17:43, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- @malyacko
- Power BI by Microsoft is a tool that allows to connect to every kind of datasource, making report, data analysis and so on.
- Since all MediaWiki data are stored on MySQL or MariDB, power BI allows an easy connection and download data.
- My aims is only download only translated page recorded with my account.
- The only help I need it to know which server put in the connection
- Regards

- If you mean wikimedia wikis, you could maybe hook up the toolforge db, but that is not the intended usecase, so you are pretty on your own, and you would have to be careful not to make queries too large.
- you could also make a custom connector to mediawiki api, but probably a lot of work.
- If this is your own wiki you could do whatever you want. Bawolff (talk) 21:05, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

- Yes, maybe someone has an idea about what is the

.rootpage-HOMEPAGE ul li { visibility: hidden } .rootpage-HOMEPAGE .mw-newpages-time {visibility: visible} .rootpage-HOMEPAGE .mw-newpages-pagename { visibility: visible}- (This will also mess up any other lists, you can use a containing div to get around that. It will also make the bullet points invisible. Maybe you could use a ::before pseudo element to get around that). Bawolff (talk) 00:49, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Bawolff
- Going on the
ul lilike this made my sidebar menu to disappear so I did it.new_pages ul liand I also had to add a margin removing code. - Eventually I have added the following code to my starting code.79.179.87.161 (talk) 13:08, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Is there a MediaWiki designer?
It's hard to design a MediaWiki website due to lack of web design tools common in other content management systems (such as Elementor for WordPress, or Gutenberg for Drupal).
I am looking for a website design expert (Adobe graphic design stack / GNU graphic design stack and CSS) to give some design advice to my dull-designwise website.
Most (or all?) MediaWiki developers don't do design, rather PHP-SQL-HTML stuff, less design and less CSS, as far as I know.

Mediawiki - Docker compose
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.
Straightforward question:
If I use docker-compose up -d everything works fine and I get Mediawiki running on my localhost and my bash works fine.
If I use docker-compose up I get this: https://pastebin.com/FL8u9iHv and my bash freezes there. This got me curious. What am I lacking/doing wrong, if anything? Klein Muçi (talk) 03:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- So -d means detach and put it in the background.
- I am not that familar with docker-compose so this may be wrong, but what i think is happening: since you dont detach you see debug info which would normally be hidden. Your terminal is attached to the apache process. Since apache does not take input (since it normally runs in the background) it simply ignores anything you press on the keyboard. Thus it looks like things are frozen, where really its not frozen its just apache ignores input on stdin and doesn't normally output anything. Bawolff (talk) 08:07, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! That's what is happening because it literally ignores everything beside Ctrl+C to exit gracefully. Do I have anything to really debug though? I mean, for Apache. Klein Muçi (talk) 08:37, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Probably not. Generally if you wanted to access the container, you would want to start a new /bin/sh process and connect to that. Bawolff (talk) 17:07, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Okay then. Thank you one more time! :) Klein Muçi (talk) 17:16, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

What is wrong ? FrViPofm (talk) 19:29, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- You are missing MediaWiki files or your install is corrupt. I would suggest re-installing. Bawolff (talk) 23:37, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I tried the installation several times from the 1.37.2 .zip or tar.gz archive. I moves the files in place together with a <code>cp -r /path/to/source/* /path/to/target</code> and changed the owner with a <code>chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/target</code> I doubt I forgot a file each time, and always the same to get the same error. Maybe a php file. But witch ? My phpinfo says that JSON is enabled. FrViPofm (talk) 07:50, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

- Php 8.1 isn't officially supported by mediawiki 1.37, but it feels really unlikely that any incompatibility would manifest like this. However it seems like some other people have the same error https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307816 which is very weird (edit: i didnt realize you were same person) Bawolff (talk) 19:25, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- If you want to further debug you could add something like the following to line 115 of includes/AutoLoader.php https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/REL1_37/includes/AutoLoader.php#L115
- (This will break things so remove after)
if ($className=="FormatJson") {var_dump($className, $filename);die()}- That should cause mediawiki to show what path its looking for FormatJson Bawolff (talk) 19:52, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Compared with meld :
- https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/REL1_37/includes/json/FormatJson.php
- /var/www/wiki/w/includes/json/FormatJson.php
- No difference (just an empy ending line on the git version).
- Compared with meld :
- https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/REL1_37/autoload.php
- /var/www/wiki/w/autoload.php

- I have added the empty line at the end of FormatJson.php. And the installation seems running.
- Let us have a look further. FrViPofm (talk) 20:05, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- OK. WIki installed.
- Thanks. FrViPofm (talk) 20:05, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thats still super weird as an empty line at end should affect nothing. Maybe some sort of opcode cache issue and editing the file forced a cache clear. Bawolff (talk) 20:18, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- FYI - happened to me also, adding a newline at the end of FormatJson solves the issue. 217.132.25.116 (talk) 13:57, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

How to install this iframe-resizer on MediaWiki?
github.com/davidjbradshaw/iframe-resizer
cd WEB_APPLICATION_ROOT git clone PROJECT
But then what? 79.179.87.161 (talk) 17:30, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Please try it on an iframe in your website and tell us what have you done to make it work. 79.179.87.161 (talk) 20:20, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- That's a question for that project, and not for MediaWiki? What does "on" mean in "on MediaWiki"? Please also see "Post a new question" in the sidebar. Malyacko (talk) 11:58, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Malyacko "on" means as a software layer on top of another software layer, using this plugin on top of MediaWiki.
- I seek help in how to install this particular plug in, on top of MediaWiki... 79.179.87.161 (talk) 16:04, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Malyacko I get the point that this thread doesn't belong here.
- If you wish, please delete this post. I am totally fine with that. 79.179.87.161 (talk) 16:27, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Which exact software does that "plugin" plug in? It does not sound like MediaWiki. Malyacko (talk) 06:43, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Malyacko I am sorry, I didn't understand.
- One should be able to install it on any website. 79.179.87.161 (talk) 07:26, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- You say it's a plugin. So what does it "plug into"? If you know that you can "install it on any website", I don't understand what the problem is - that software should probably have documentation to install it. Malyacko (talk) 07:53, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Malyacko it plugs into a program. It's a software module which could be installed on top of any (web) program.
- I didn't manage to understand the documentation on start but someone of the community of that plug in helped me.
- The "abusefilter" here doesn't allow me to paste the relevant source code patterns here but here is a reference to the discussion where I got that help:
- github.com/davidjbradshaw/iframe-resizer/issues/1055 79.179.87.161 (talk) 08:39, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

- @Malyacko I don't think so, an explanation about how to use the plugin on a website is given in the GitHub discussion I linked to above, which generally doesn't require using any MediaWiki syntax. 79.179.87.161 (talk) 15:41, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

- What does "okay" mean? What would be "not okay"? What have you tried and what happened? Malyacko (talk) 11:51, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- "Okay" here means, is it possible to work with mw.loader.load (javascript file loader for MediaWiki) outside
MediaWiki:Common.JS? - I've tried it and I got:How then should I load the JS file in the code above? 79.179.87.161 (talk) 16:10, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
Uncaught ReferenceError: mw is not defined: mw.loader.load("/iframe-resizer/js/iframeResizer.contentWindow.min.js"); - That would be a no (more about time rather than place). You can't use mw before its defined. Bawolff (talk) 17:04, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Bawolff Before it's defined? I am sorry, I didn't understand.
- Why can't mw.loader.load be used outside MediaWiki:Common.js? 79.179.87.161 (talk) 17:18, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- You can't use
mwbefore the thing that creates it is run. MediaWiki:Common.js happens after mw is created, presumably whatever you are doing happens before. Bawolff (talk) 01:15, 9 May 2022 (UTC) - Wrap the JS code in a function that only triggers after the document is ready, that's generally the safe way to do this. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:23, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
problem mediawiki timestamps
hi, the problem next is very strange, i installed mediawiki 1.37.2 in a shared host with litespeed web server but the problem when use flow extension or similar extension which liquidtherads or discussiontools.
the problem is tested in flow, to the add topic the publicatin show timestamps "2 minutes" that is, 2 minutes in advance from the date and time of the server. since I set the time zone and for example my hour is 3:17, if you add the topic right now, the publication shows it was added at 3:19,
I tried to see if it's a problem with the php configuration but nothing turned out I don't know if it's a mediawiki problem either but the same thing happens with the DiscussionTools and LiquidThreads extensions.
see T307841 for a capture of the mistake. PetaloAzul (talk) 00:11, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Did you check what the current time is on the server, maybe it is just set to the wrong time. Bawolff (talk) 01:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Bawolff yes, here and here show the current time on the server, the default time zone is America/New_York. PetaloAzul (talk) 01:37, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- ok. I just adjusted the timezone to mine (America/Mexico City) but here you can see that it is showing the same error that is being experienced in mediawiki, exist a solution for this problem? PetaloAzul (talk) 02:46, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- So it sounds like your webserver has the wrong time. You should set it to the correct time. On linux this can be done with the date command although you probably need to be root. (Also maybe install ntpd) Bawolff (talk) 22:42, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Bawolff, ok, the site is in a shared hosting (x10hosting), I will try to report the problem then, I hope you can take it into account, thanks PetaloAzul (talk) 00:04, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
Invalid CSRF token
I am trying to use ruby and HTTPLite to make changes to my wiki, but all I am getting is an Invalid CSRF token response. I tried validating my token in the same method using the "checktoken" action and it returned valid so I have no clue what could be happening.
I can confirm that I have the right cookies, my body is a hash of:
"action" => "edit",
"title" => <StringVariable>,
"text" => <StringVariable>,
"token" => token,
"format" => "json"
I am using post_body so it is using a POST request, and I am posting as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Headers are:
"Host" => <StringVariable>,
"Proxy-Connection" => "Close",
"Pragma" => "no-cache",
"Cookie" => <StringVariable> (my own cookie data),
"User-Agent" => <StringVariable> (I copied my own user agent data)
I even tried substituting the "+\\" in the token to "%2B%5C" but that didn't help
Anything else I can try, did something fly over my head? I am just really confused Voltseon (talk) 04:00, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Its very odd that checktoken says its valid and its not working.
- My suggestion would be to try using some pre made bot, just to make sure it works so you could rule out something wrong with your wiki.
- Sometimes if im absolutely stuck on something like this, i will use wireshark to sniff the packets to make 100% sure its what i think it is (even better if i have someone else's working code so i can see what the difference is) Bawolff (talk) 06:33, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for replying
- I checked the packets with wireshark but I have honestly no clue what to even look for. The packets are kind of jibberish to me and can barely even make out which packet correlates to which request.
- I had tried an extention bot and it works just fine. But when I make any requests from my project it just falls apart. (Also it would be nice to have someone else's working code next to mine, but unfortunately I haven't been able to sniff out a single script that does something even similar using HTTPLite with ruby) Voltseon (talk) 09:14, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- "Cookie" "my own cookie data".... Don't implement cookies yourself, if that is what you are doing.. Use a cookie jar manager.
- There is a ruby implementation of the api at https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-ruby-api
- It seems like it hasn't been maintained in a while, but most aspects will still apply —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 13:32, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Unfortunately my project does not have any gem compatability and I haven't found any cookie jar manager scripts that don't require some kind of gem in order to function Voltseon (talk) 22:20, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on previously working Wiki
Hi, and thanks in advance for your help.
I had a working MediaWiki installed on my site (set it up myself a couple years ago as a novice). I haven't touched anything on the site in months, but suddenly, within the past two weeks, the site no longer loads and browsers are returning this error: "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS"
Any idea what the problem may be? 2A00:23C6:3B82:B601:7020:2E69:3818:32A7 (talk) 11:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS generally means that the webserver is making too many redirects from one page to the other. You will have to look at the logs of your webserver. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 13:14, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help.
- I've accessed the logs, but I have no idea what I am looking for. Getting MediaWiki installed in the first place is largely the extent of my programming knowledge.
- There are repeated 404s in a folder that is named "/.well-known/acme-challenge/".
- Could that point to the issue? 2A00:23C6:3B82:B601:7020:2E69:3818:32A7 (talk) 15:45, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, another possible clue: When I use "&nocache=" at the end of the URL, the site does load. So seems like the cache is part of the issue? 2A00:23C6:3B82:B601:7020:2E69:3818:32A7 (talk) 15:47, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- not neccesarily. It might just mean you are hitting different rewrite rules.
- Try using the network tab of your developer to see what sort of redirect loop is happening (what page you are being redirected to).
- Often this is a problem with rewrite rule or short url config. You should paste your .htaccess file (if using that) and the value of $wgArticlePath and $wgScriptPath from LocalSettings.php. Bawolff (talk) 22:39, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- I was getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS as well after upgrading from version 1.31 to 1.38 MediaWiki so I checked my $wgScriptPath which was set to "/wiki/" Changing it to "/wiki" tamed the redirects. I guess 1.38 is more fussy about the trailing "/". Chuck.Kahn (talk) 17:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

After migrating a wiki to a new server, my subdirectory permissions are essentially all 777...
I manually fixed the top-level subdirectory permissions to match those of a fresh install, but is there a script somewhere that can re-establish the expected permissions of the subdirectories recursively for the sub-sub directories and elements? FWIW, I am on MediaWiki 1.35.5. Thanks! Drewsaur (talk) 16:06, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- The -R option to chmod. See https://linux.die.net/man/1/chmod Bawolff (talk) 18:03, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes I am quite aware of that flag, but not all of the permissions for each file are supposed to be the same, I could see from the new install. So that won't work...! Drewsaur (talk) 18:16, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- There is no one right answer for permissions and ownership of mediawiki files - it depends on how your system is setup.
- but generally speaking, images subdirectory needs to be readable and writable by the webserver, LocalSettings.php should be readable by webserver but not other users (contains db pass) and should not be writable by webserver, everything else should be readable by webserver but not writable by webserver.
- $wgCacheDirectoty, if set, must be readable and writable by webserver, generally it should be outside of web root. For best security ensure php is disabled in images directory. Bawolff (talk) 18:56, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Understood. I am only referring to the permissions for the standard install directories and their subcontents, which are standard for a given release, such as docs, includes, languages, maintenance, resources, skins, vendor, etc. There are canonical permissions for those that are defined at install time. Other systems I have worked with have permissions-fixings scripts to fix things like this, and I am hoping something similar exists, or that there is at least a document from mediawiki that details the default install permissions for those directories and their contents. Thanks again! Drewsaur (talk) 15:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- If you are looking for a specific number, you probably want 644 on files 755 on directories. There is no mediawiki specific script Bawolff (talk) 00:45, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Module CSS subpage
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 create a "Module:Documentation/styles.css" page (similar to en:Module:Documentation/styles.css) on a new installation of MW 1.37.2 (with Lua 5.1.5), but when I try to save the page I get an error message saying the formatting of the page has unexpected characters. I even tried copying exactly what was in the en:Module:Documentation/styles.css page, but I still get the error. It seems to be treating the CSS as if it's Lua code rather than CSS. Is there an additional extension I need to install to make it treat the CSS as CSS instead of Lua? Or am I missing something else?
Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- 日本穣 Nihonjoe (talk) 22:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- First off, just to confirm, you have extension:TemplateStyles installed?
- Try creating the page via Special:changeContentModel which allows creating template style pages in other namespaces.
- Probably the reason is you need $wgTemplateStylesNamespaces[NS_MODULE] = true; by default its template only. Bawolff (talk) 00:40, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- I did not have that extension installed, but it is now. I also implemented $wgTemplateStylesNamespaces to allow it. Thanks! -- 日本穣 Nihonjoe (talk) 01:03, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

I had an offense 3 months ago. I have been banned. The time is over, and I am asking the ban to be lifted.
The agreement was 3monts banning and today is 3 months.
Please consider.

Bad SEO
I have a MediaWiki 1.36.1 website with Skin:Timeless and about 2,000 webpages, most of them (about 51% at least) are about marketing.
The website is all core, no external extensions or skins are installed.
This is my robots.txt syntax pattern:
User-agent: * Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap/sitemap.xml disallow: /index.php? disallow: /index.php/*: allow: /index.php/Category: allow: /index.php/קטגוריה:
The website's performance is very good with Google Page Speed Insights grades of 100/100 (both in mobile and desktop).
But,
The website's SEO is bad with average position of 43.8.
The average position becomes worse every passing day.
The website has only articles and categories --- As far as I know, I have removed anything else from PHP and there are no links to machine pages anywhere.
What may cause bad SEO to that website? 79.178.153.224 (talk) 09:01, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- The website's SEO is bad with average position of 43.8.
- In Google Search Console 79.178.153.224 (talk) 09:10, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- If Google can tell you that the SEO is bad and some average position, I'd assume that Google can also tell you *why* it's on some average position and what you could do about it. It's unclear to me why you ask here in a MediaWiki support place. Malyacko (talk) 10:16, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- I believe that the bad SEO is a legacy from the days that machine pages were indeed linked from various places (such as the sidebar), before I've removed link to these machine pages from PHP.
- But if so, what do I do now? 79.178.153.224 (talk) 09:12, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- A bit of help, someone? 79.178.153.224 (talk) 10:07, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- A bit of way more patience, please? Malyacko (talk) 10:16, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Malyacko I don't think I was impatient, rather this thread might went too down under others. 79.178.153.224 (talk) 11:29, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- The real reason, is you probably want an SEO professional to help you, which is a bit beyond the scope and expertise of this forum. Bawolff (talk) 19:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- You're asking about SEO on a MediaWiki support desk.
- You'll probably get some answers on a SEO forum (when actually sharing your website so others can take a look), where you can get tips from experienced users.
- If you get tips about changes you should make in your MediaWiki installation to better meet your SEO strategy, feel free to post them here and someone can help. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:41, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's probably more a reflection on your wiki rather than MediaWiki in general. I don't think there's any reason for a MediaWiki website (as a MediaWiki website) not to appear at the top of a search if the content is the best. Jonathan3 (talk) 13:25, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yep, I don't think it's a problem with MediaWiki. Wikipedia, a MediaWiki site, pretty much always gets the top position. Weeklyd3 (talk) 04:56, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Jonathan3 my website has only 2-3 links to it, I guess, with time, when more links are created, the average position will be better. 79.178.153.224 (talk) 16:10, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think that the problem is because I have added these robots.txt rules just about a week ago.
- Now, I should let the website some time to be properly crawled. 79.178.153.224 (talk) 07:26, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Wiki site down. Message says: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
Hi, I used a MediaWiki setup for my personal website which can be found here: https://mikepomranz.com/index.php/Main_Page
I installed it myself but am not particularly proficient with MediaWiki or programming in general.
A few weeks ago, the site stopped loading and I have no idea why: whether it's an issue with the install (which worked fine for about a year) or with my webhost (which is Bluehost).
I am receiving an error that "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS."
Adding "&nocache=" at the end of the URL remedies the issue and gets the site to load again.
Any thoughts on what may be happening? Thanks! 2A00:23C6:3B82:B601:8DE:ADF3:6127:9046 (talk) 10:41, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Your main page redirects to itself.
- Using non-short urls also works.
- https://mikepomranz.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
- As such, this seems likely to be an issue with your shorturl webserver configuration. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 10:48, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Amazing. Thanks for the diagnosis. Any advice on how to fix a shorturl webserver configuration? I'm guessing that's something I need to deal with through my web host?
- (Apologies for these novice questions.) 2A00:23C6:3B82:B601:8DE:ADF3:6127:9046 (talk) 11:05, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- So I'm digging around in my LocalSettings file and clearly I've messed something up. Is there a way to stop using shorturls? 2A00:23C6:3B82:B601:8DE:ADF3:6127:9046 (talk) 15:00, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- You can disable short url by setting
$wgArticlePath = '/index.php?title=$1';- typically for this sort of thing, the problematic part is in your .htaccess file. Bawolff (talk) 19:02, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, @Bawolff. This has gotten my site up again!
- The problem is that my Wiki is installed on my noapplause.com hosting site and I've been trying to use mikepomranz.com as a masking URL. I'm now recalling that I had actually gone in and changed the LocalSettings to get the masking to work -- and it worked for awhile -- but something changed and the workaround I was using stopped working and crashed the site.
- Any idea what LocalSettings to tweak to mask "noapplause.com/mikepomranz" with simply "mikepomranz.com" so that users can't see the underlying pathway?
- Thanks again for fixing my initial issue!! At least the site is up again!! 2A00:23C6:3B82:B601:157D:9E2:2D51:7CF0 (talk) 07:58, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- $wgServer = "http://mikepomranz.com"; is what you need to set in LocalSettings.php (along with adjusting $wgArticlePath and $wgScriptPath if the path part changed) . Depending on your hosting setup, you may need to do additional config on the hosting side Bawolff (talk) 17:50, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Amazing. I think that has resolved the issue! Thanks so much! 2A00:23C6:3B82:B601:3CD3:96B3:58F8:526E (talk) 11:14, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
some images missing, stored at another locations
Hello, I did a migration of our wiki to another server and a major upgrade from 1.27 (with BlueSpice plugin) to 1.37.1 (pure MediaWiki) and I'm facing several issues now. Some of the images are currently missing and not displayed on the pages. I have just noticed, that they are located in different folders so the links seem to be somehow broken. An example - a file is located here: /wiki/images/d/d3/vnc03.PNG but the links points to this location /wiki/images/9/92/Vnc03.PNG.
I've tried running rebuildImages.php but this had no effect.
Does someone have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Viktor the cleaner (talk) 11:37, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- BlueSpice may have one extension that allows to have the initial character of the image name as lowercase, while on MediaWiki the first character of all page titles are uppercase.
- Note how the image is called "vnc03.PNG" in the old location, but "Vnc03.PNG" on the new one.
- You'll have to install the entire BlueSpice stack again, or find which extension was being used for this feature and install it.
- Otherwise, you'll have to find the affected images and reimport them again with the importImages.php maintenance script. Those leftover initial-lowercase images may require some manual cleanup, though. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:56, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Its probably due to Manual:$wgCapitalLinks Bawolff (talk) 18:59, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for your help! Manual:$wgCapitalLinks actually did the trick for the missing images, that are listed. These are now back! However, there are still many images and files that are not listed. The files are actually on the server but their links seem to be broken. I have tried
importImages.phpbut that gives me...failed (at recordUpload stage)on the existing files. New files are imported flawlessly. Viktor the cleaner (talk) 15:13, 17 May 2022 (UTC) - This may be caused by edits or cached pages from when $wgCapitalLinks was not set. You may need to purge all the caches, and maybe run refreshLinks.php. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 07:49, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Unfortunately that did not help. I've tried all of the following,
php purgeList.php --all-namespaces; sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/wiki/images/; php rebuildImages.php;php refreshLinks.php; php rebuildall.php- but I'm still stuck with missing images/files. Only red links llike this
/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=name_of_missing_images.pngare shown and the pages with the missing content are listed in "Pages with broken file links". I have also tried to create the images folder new and reimport all the files, but that did not help either, only made even more mess. Viktor the cleaner (talk) 15:08, 20 May 2022 (UTC) - Making an edit to LocalSettings.php combined with refreshLinks.php should purge most relevent caches. Bawolff (talk) 15:42, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

I am getting an unknown error?
I am getting this error message when i imported Template:Button and I can't seem to find anything about it that is right, i checked the permissions and whatnot, and the permissions seem to be in line.
I am using a Plesk web server, using the GIT install of mediawiki. I don't know what else to supply, so if any more information is needed,p lease do feel free to ask.
I don't know what this error means, but here is what it says:
Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
No further details are available.

- Extension:Scribunto has some details related to this.
- Basically your version of php has security restrictions that prevent the scribunto extension from working. You need to either convince your host/webserver to lift the restriction, find a new host or not use any Module namespace pages. Bawolff (talk) 18:56, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, Just to clarify, i do have root access to the whole server, even outside of the web server.
- I rent the entirety of the server, the web server is what's running on the rented server.
- Therefore, i have full control over what goes on the server. Could you clarify what it is that i need to do to remove these restrictions?
- I can't find any information about it, so if you could, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you Jeffbezoslittlesister (talk) 12:35, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Received Welcome to first edit message in languages I never edited
Hi, I've received notifications in several languages that I don't know and have never edited, in the past few months. Something is fishy. The languages are:
Please let me know what caused notifications to be sent, or if I actually did make some minor change in those languages' pages and when. I do not remember or see any reason why I would have, since I cannot read them at all. Thank you. Mistakefinder (talk) 16:59, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- This can happen for a number of reasons, but for me personally it often happens if those wikis have imported a template which i have once touched (or the documentation associated with it). This then creates your local account in those wikis, resulting in a welcome message. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:46, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
“Français Cadien”
There are several errors with words in the French Canadian language package. The search bar is spelt wrong, several words are misspelled on the login page and the name of the package itself is wrong. We are hoping to present our French wiki at a Canadian Conference and we currently aren’t able to figure out how to edit the foundational code that includes the search bar and other features. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! 199.119.235.148 (talk) 17:30, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, you can edit the canadian french translation at https://translatewiki.net . Translations are done on a volunteer basis so i am sure they would appreciate assistence. One possible reason you might be seeing incorrect translations is if nobody has translated something to canadian french, mediawiki will fallback to generic french (of course, the translations could also just be incorrect)
- It is also possible to use extension:LocalisationUpdate to get language changes from translatewiki faster.
- If you want to change a specific translation just for your wiki, see Help:System message for how, but it would be awesome if you could fix any errors at translatewiki so that everyone could benefit.

Layout problem when changing language to french
Hello,
I installed MediaWiki with Softaculous on my personal website hosted on an A2hosting (shared host). By default it installs MediaWiki in English (1.37.2). When I change my LocalSettings.php $wgLanguageCode = "fr" and display my site on my browser I lose the layout (site theme). I have a text display old html style as if the CSS was not applied. What should I do to solve the problem?
Bonjour,
j'ai installé MediaWiki avec Softaculous sur mon site web personnel héberger sur un host sharé A2hosting. Par défaut il installe MediaWiki en français (1.37.2). Quand je change mon LocalSettings.php $wgLanguageCode = "fr" et que j'affiche mon site sur mon navigateur je perd la mise en forme (thème du site).

Change a "talk" namespace to a subject one?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
We used a script (https://github.com/hallowelt/migrate-confluence) to convert our confluence installation to Mediawiki. It does this by creating a new namespace for each confluence space. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be aware of the even/odd number system in Mediawiki that denotes regular pages and talk pages.
As such, a number of our imported spaces are appearing as just Talk/Discussion pages and can't be edited with the visual editor as well as some other side effects.
Is there any way to either force an odd numbered namespace to be presented as a regular subject namespace, or a way to move an odd numbered namespace to a new even numbered index? Mveinot (talk) 15:05, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Odd namespace numbers are for associated talk pages and this can't be changed.
- First of all, if the migration script has bugs, they should be reported upstream. If they fix it quickly enough, it may be safer to run the import again.
- Otherwise, there's a quick way to move all pages from a namespace to another, by doing an update directly to the page table, updating from one page_namespace to another page_namespace. However, this will leave the database in an inconsistent state, and you should run rebuildall.php after the change to repopulate all links and references again.
- If there are wiki links pointing to the affected pages, you should replace them by editing those pages. That can be done manually, by a bot, or you can try Extension:Replace Text Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 15:57, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for this reply... this seems to be working. Mveinot (talk) 19:29, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Synology & Visual Editor
Hi,
Ive installed the Mediawiki Package from synology on my Synology NAS.
Its Version 1.35.5-1050
The Visual Editor extension is included in this version and after reading this page Extension:VisualEditor#Installation it would appear that for basic operation there should be no further config required.
However i see no VisualEditor when i try to edit a page. Can anyone help me with diagnosing the problem - i contacted Synology Support and they just sent me here. Roycruse (talk) 09:32, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- We do not provide support for Synology. We are unfamiliar with their packaging and setup, they choose to include it, they are a commercial company, they provide the service. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:34, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- I had the same problem. When you set up Mediawiki, as part of its installation, on your Synology, make sure you click the options that engage VisualEditor. Then if the VE returns an error when you try to save the edited page, it means that there is another option which as to be set. For this go to: MainMenu (the four little boxes in the left corner of the Synology screen) / Web Station / on the left screen, click </> Script Language Settings / click MediaWiki and click Edit / click Extensions then at the very bottom of the list, click the zlib box.

Getting this error after importing my custom made wiki dump
There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page.
In history page bytes getting added for the first time but getting error in loading the page
does it related to revision, origin, id tags that I am using in xml dump?
visual editor error - Could not find latest revision for title
source editor error - The revision #0 of the page named "एसर क्रोमबुक टैब 10" does not exist.
This is usually caused by following an outdated history link to a page that has been deleted. Details can be found in the deletion log.
When i see history of one of the article data imported but not able to access the article
when i tried creatiing page with Mediawiki API I am getting this error
{'error': {'code': 'edit-gone-missing', 'info': 'Could not update the page. It appears to have been deleted.'

Remove extensions from URLs of Tools
Hello! I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but...
I recently activated the webservice for my tool in ToolForge and created a website with 2 pages (the main one + one other). Things worked fine as expected. However the other page shows /Pagename.html in the URL. I read online that to remove it either you should be doing something with the directory hierarchies which sort of spoofs it or you should change your .htaccess file. I also read from an old discussion in WikiTech that ToolForge doesn't make use of that file anymore given that it uses Lighttpd and now I'm kinda lost.

- I've never done it, but the docs suggest creating a file named

Need these log problems be addressed?

MediaWiki 1.37.2, PHP 7.4.29 (litespeed), MySQL 5.6.51-cll-lve, http://horawiki.org/
Hi. I'm trying to improve the slow behavior of my wiki. I suspect the real problem is load at the hosting service (GoDaddy) but I'm grasping at every straw.
I'm currently getting lots of logged warnings, and the question is whether they should be addressed. They're of two kinds:
1) PHP Deprecated, for Title::isWatchable and User::isLoggedIn and ContentHandler::getForTitle and maybe others, called from MinervaNeue and MobileFrontEnd and maybe others.
2) PHP Notice for undefined properties stdClass::$page_namespace and stdClass::$page_title, in includes/Title.php.
Are any of these not ignorable?
BTW: I haven't set up any cacheing because the site is very low traffic: At most a few thousand hits per day (including everything) and a handful of edits per month. But I'll cheerfully go that route if it's a good idea despite the low traffic.
Thanks, as always, for your help. Larrydberg (talk) 23:08, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- these are probably not causing your performance issues.
- However they shouldn't be happening and may indicate a buggy or out of date extension. Make sure all skins/extensions are the correct version for your version of mediawiki.
- For caching - there are different types, some more helpful than others. Object caching ($wgMainCacheType) is very important, and will improve performance even on low traffic sites. Bawolff (talk) 08:24, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
403 Forbidden by loading WikiEditor (Windows IIS)
Hi,
I just installed MediaWiki on a new webspace, but I get a 403 Forbidden if for example the WikiEditor is loaded.
I have the following MediaWiki configuration:

Server Windows Server IIS
I set up the WikiEditor in the LocalSettings.php and it is shown as Extension in the Versions-Page (0.5.3).

- Check your webserver error log, it will hopefully tell you why the page was forbidden.
- This is probably not a chmod (or cacls or whatever windows calls it) issue. Bawolff (talk) 08:20, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Can find only, that is a 403.0 error für the GET request of the link above.
- There are some hint the web that this related to SSL certificates. But the webspace is secured as all my other webspaces with a LetsEncrypt certificat. Lothron (talk) 09:12, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- In my experience 403s that only occur on one or two urls, are generally related to WAFs like mod_security being carelessly deployed and hitting false positives in MWs code. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:32, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
"read-only"-wiki
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi there,
I am still very new to this software. Normally, this program is designed for the collaboration of larger groups, however, I would like to write a kind of encyclopedia on a specific subject. The result should be readable only afterwards, but it doesn't need any big functions to edit. For example, can I somehow hide the history for non-logged-in users or would I have to manually delete the history on every single page? Unfortunately, individual markers would still remain, with the indication that a deletion was made there.
It would be great if the reader could finally just view the "end result" of every page, or if you could even disable as many things as possible for editing. What is the best way to proceed? Is there a way to completely disable this history for readers or a function to delete this history globally? Are there other things that should be considered? (have tried a few on a private page so far.) thank you very much! Sockerz (talk) 09:43, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- I had exactly the same question and solved it for my encyclopaedia. It is read-only for the public, except for comments or discussion, but that can be disabled as well.

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 have a potential bug. It may no longer be relevant so I'm asking for guidance here.
Page information on a template has a section "Page properties" with (on my wiki) a subsection "Pages transcluded on", a bulleted list of page titles. But the titles are all empty: You see only the bullet plus an "(edit)" link for an empty title. Example here.
When requesting this page info two warnings are logged for each list member: $page_title and $page_namespace are undefined. The offending code is includes/Title.php line 3158 where these two properties are referenced in a routine that seems to be invoked only when getting page info on a template.
The same page on other wikis, e.g. mediawiki.org, doesn't have the "Pages transcluded on" subsection and everything looks fine. This is no doubt because my version is older. But the same code appears in 1.39.0-wmf.12 so possibly there's latent buggy code even though its results aren't displayed. Send to Phabricator?

- Api works http://horawiki.org/api.php?titles=Template:Documentation&action=query&prop=info%7Ctranscludedin%7Ctemplates so not a db info.
- Could you check if its still there after disabling all extensions, to narrow down root cause? If yes,it probably makes sense to file a phab bug. Bawolff (talk) 20:44, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Same behavior with all extensions disabled. I'll file a bug. Thanks. Larrydberg (talk) 00:20, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
mw_config redirects to Mw_config even though I have renamed .htaccess
I am trying to update my wiki (wiki.polyinpictures.com) from 1.32.0 to 1.37.1.
I have renamed the .htaccess file in the new wiki folder, in accordance with this instruction:
- It might happen that the web-updater does not seem to work: Instead of seeing the initial language selection screen, you might see an empty wiki page, possibly with some error message. In this case it is most likely that your web server uses Rewrite Rules (most likely for short URLs), which do not show you the updater at mw-config/, but a wiki page at Mw-config/, with capital "M". In this case, rename the .htaccess file for the time of the update. Then you should be able to access the web-updater.
It didn't work, and I don't know what to try next. Am I supposed to rename some other .htaccess file? Are there other causes for this issue?
Thank you in advance. This has been causing me a lot of stress for a long time, and I really, really need to update my wiki because it's covered in error messages all the time and now for unknown reasons I am unable to upload media.
Edit: Here's my version info:
| Product | Version |
|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.32.0 |
| PHP | 8.0.17 (litespeed) |
| MySQL | 5.7.23-23 |
| ICU | 69.1 |
Cassolotl (talk) 19:11, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- It could be something in your apache httpd.conf. you should disable all rewrite rules temporarily.
- Alternatively, just use the cli update.php Bawolff (talk) 20:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Call to undefined method Wikibase\Repo\WikibaseRepo::getDefaultInstance()
Hi, I need some advice, I have an own standalone mediawiki instance with wikibase extension.
In the past, I've imported Qitems and properties using the WikibaseImport extension. This now fails with this exception backtrace,
# php maintenance/importEntities.php --query P31:Q5
[5de1fd28e98e57b7da508039] [no req] Error: Call to undefined method Wikibase\Repo\WikibaseRepo::getDefaultInstance()

According to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T280984 , it appears the getDefaultInstance() method was removed around April - May 2021,
the WikibaseImport code ( https://github.com/filbertkm/WikibaseImport ) looks untouched since May 7, 2016,
is this code maintained at all ? No39188 (talk) 20:08, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Probably not then. Have you asked it's maintainer / author ? —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:28, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure who to ask here, it looks like the git repo was forked to github.com as /Wikidata/WikibaseImport/ . There are some pending pull requests there partly addressing my issue, but they are pending for more than a year.
- Anyway, I applied some changes out of the pull requests and one of my own to my copy of importEntities.php and got the script working for me, but I lack the knowledge how to commit.

Edit page modification
Hey, beginner's question here
I'm planinning on adding restriction of the articles to particular user groups and I'd like to add the checkboxes for groups selection from the Edit page
I'm lost though how exactly to add or modify the functionality of Edit form Japanczyk (talk) 22:05, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Have you considered using the already builtin page protection
- Modifying edit page isn't the easiest. You can use hooks like manual:hooks/EditPage::importFormData (there are a bunch, that is probably not the best one) to modify public instance variables of the EditPage class, like editFormTextBottom (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/includes/EditPage.php#L353 )
- Maybe look at what other extensions do. I think FlaggedRevisions modifies the edit form, so does extension:TemplateSandbox Bawolff (talk) 05:32, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Redirect loop, behind proxies
Using the official dockerhub container: mediawiki:1.37.2
DB is official mariadb container (latest, as of today)
$wgServer = "https://development.mysite.com"; $wgCanonicalServer = "https://development.mysite.com"; $wgScriptPath = "/wiki";
Sitting behind: haproxy > varnish > nginx > container
haproxy terminates ssl and redirects http to https
varnish just caches and passes to backend, in this case nginx.
nginx config:
location /wiki/ {
proxy_set_header Host development.mysite.com;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_set_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://development.mysite.com;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:32583/;
}
container listening on 32583 (that's correct).
Site working perfect on 1.31, as soon as I try to go latest (1.37.2), I see these redirect loops.
So, it just throws 301 after 301 in a loop. Sending the requested url "https://development.mysite.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page" to the exact same location...
Logs from the container just show exactly that, with no real reason as to why. 124.47.132.150 (talk) 01:26, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Templates act weird after MediaWiki update
Hi, I have a problem with the portable infoboxes in my wiki, after finally updating it to the current version.
These p-tags appeared and I don't know where they come from
https://degwiki.com/wiki/The_Insulated_World_(2018)
and also, the whole infobox has more empty space
this is my commons.css: https://degwiki.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css
and this is the template for the infobox: https://degwiki.com/wiki/Template:Release
here you can see what it looked like pre-update: https://web.archive.org/web/20210618215104/https://degwiki.com/wiki/The_Insulated_World_(2018)
please, how can I fix this? :/ Seelentau (talk) 16:40, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- It doesn't answer your question (maybe the Portable Infoboxes extension version you have isn't compatible with your MW version?) but I like your your edit/action URLs are formatted, e.g. https://degwiki.com/wiki/edit/The_Insulated_World_(2018) I've created a separate topic here, if you'd be willing to answer: Project:Support desk/Flow/2022/05#h-Action_URLs_in_format_example.com/wiki/edit/Pagename-2022-05-25T16:43:00.000Z :-) Jonathan3 (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Everything is up to date. In the meantime, I found out that MediaWiki adds those paragraph tags everywhere. Just compare old vs new code:
- pre-update:
- <h2 class="pi-item pi-item-spacing pi-title" data-source="title">鬼葬</h2>
- post-update:
- <h2 class="pi-item pi-item-spacing pi-title" data-source="title"><p>鬼葬</p></h2> Seelentau (talk) 19:18, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Issues with pages not formatting correctly when upgrading from 1.35 to 1.36
Hi all,
After upgrading from mediawiki 1.35 to 1.36 the formatting of my pages just show text and no formatting or layout, i've copied all the images, extensions etc across to 1.36 but everything just shows as text albeit things work url's etc. If I browse to the 'URL/mw-config/' section for the 1.36 installation this works fine 'layout pictures etc'. As a test I tried reverting back the main wiki folder 'where the localsettings.php file lives' to 1.35 which then resolves the page issues. I'm i missing something that I need to copy across, could this be missing CSS or something like config?
To add to this i've just put some debugging on the main page and got the following:
Deprecated: SkinVector overrides setupSkinUserCss which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.32. [Called from OutputPage::getRlClient in mediawiki-1.36.0/OutputPage.php at line 3017] in /mediawiki-1.36.0/includes/debug/MWDebug.php on line 376
Deprecated: Use of Skin::setupSkinUserCss was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.32.

How can I find when a phrase was added to a page ?
Hi ! There is "Blame" that is part of the XTools project ( https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/35906/find-when-a-phrase-was-added-to-a-wikipedia-page ) but that is ONLY for Wikipedia not any other MediaWiki installation. I have a private wiki which is basically note taking and lists. I sometimes add a time stamp but many times I do not and sometimes I want to know the date and time when I added a particular entry. Can this be done through the API or using an SQL query ? I have some experience with SQL so can use that via command line. Cheers. Michael Z Freeman (talk) 17:17, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

- Yes, thanks. I checked XTools again (after all how do they do it?) and found that XTools/Blame is based on WikiWho ( https://www.f-squared.org/wikiwho ) which is written in Python. It's aimed at Wikipedia ,but after all WP is running on Mediawiki. i should be able to modify it if it does not run out of the box. Michael Z Freeman (talk) 08:59, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Invalid Time Zone Error while installing
Hello, I'm trying to install mediawiki 1.39.0-alpha to Windows Subsystem for Linux which using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. PHP version is 8.1.6.
When I go to welcome page, I get an error message.
[179976b38d28bf9f842574bd] /w/mw-config/index.php Wikimedia\Timestamp\TimestampException: Wikimedia\Timestamp\ConvertibleTimestamp::setTimezone: Invalid timezone.

It says "The environment has been checked. You can install MediaWiki.", but under this green text, the error message has appeared.
I changed vendor/wikimedia/timestamp/src/ComvertibleTimestamp.php to show current timezone setting (as told at Project:Support desk/Flow/2013/12#h-[RESOLVED]_Fatal_exception_of_type_TimestampException_after_upgrading_to_Mediawi-2013-12-10T22:12:00.000Z ), but it seemed current timezone setting is empty.
How can I solve this problem? I uploaded the screenshot at IMGBB. my server address is http://se-a.swa.re.kr/w/, but I'll shortly shut down the computer. 하늘토끼 (talk) 16:41, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

List order of release plan
Hi,
A suggestion, that you, like the VERY good improvement og release train graph, improve the releseplan tables, i.e. that you list them in reverse order as of now.
When I lokke into the plan, I'm interested in the newest possible version, and find it a waste of time, to have to run through older versions ...

Shutdown computer
When I shutdown the computer, does the wiki work? 105.105.220.155 (talk) 10:40, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- If the wiki is hosted on the computer being shut down, then no, it won't work.
- To avoid this, you should install the wiki on a server on the internet that's online 24h. This usually costs money.

Password reset without email address
Hello,
One of my bots (User:सांगकाम्या) is now blocked from using AWB because I cannot clear a spam message someone posted to it, which is a result of my not remembering the password of this account after using it for many years on auto-fill.
When I go to reset password for सांगकाम्या, I'm not getting any emails, likely because I did not attach an email address. Now, in order to add an email address, I need to log in, which I cannot do because I do not have an attached email address :-(
This bot is operated by me and my primary account is User:अभय नातू. I am an admin and a 'crat on w:mr.
Can you please guide me in resetting my bot account password? Thanks! अभय नातू (talk) 01:16, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Email ca@wikimedia.org
- Be warned you need to have very solid proof that you really do own the account. Bawolff (talk) 02:30, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Increase speed of parsoid in integrated mode
I am using parsoid via cli `php parsoid/bin/parse.php --integrated --wt2html --addHTMLTemplateParameters --inputfile` I am using multiprocessing to make it parallel as I have lot of files (whole enwiki). Is there a better way to do this? Can I remove some things from parsoid which might not be necessary for wikitext to html conversion? I am using templaes and modules and for that i have added those pages to the database. I am using bitnami mediawiki AMI on aws, if that helps.

Unable to load sub-wikis when multiple wikis enabled
Trying to setup multiple wikis on the format wiki.domain.com, wiki2.domain.com etc.
Successfully been using wiki.domain.com for months. Unable to get wiki2, wiki3 etc up and running.
When trying to add extra wikis, I try to follow this guide: Manual:Wiki family#Separate settings files
I've setup separate DBnames and DBusers for each sub-wiki, and I've created separate LocalSettings_SUBWIKINAME.php files.
I think DB setup is correct: If I copy LocalSettings_SUBWIKINAME.php to LocalSettings.php the corresponding sub-wiki loads just fine. I can add users and content etc., no DB errors are shown.
If I follow the guide and use the suggested script in LocalSettings.php, only my initial wiki.domain.com will load, everything else gives DB errors.
I suspect the LocalSettings_SUBWIKINAME.php configs are not being loaded. 188.176.161.203 (talk) 22:22, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

- The error message is basically saying your db name is incorrect (or it correct, but the tables were never created for the subdomain wikis) . Without knowing the rest of your config, the real error, and what the actual correct db name is, all i can say is double check your db name is correct and that you correctly setup the new dbs for your subdomain wikis.

- This comes from an extension. Be sure you're getting the error page from the server and not from the browser's cache, for example, by appending a random query string parameter to the Special:Version URL. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 08:46, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- I commented out all the extension loading and used a random query string and the error persists. 37.142.88.252 (talk) 19:13, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- You should also comment out skins. If you installed extensions using composer, they should be uninstalled too.
- If this doesn't resolve the problem, try downloading MediaWiki again and extract it on a clean empty directory, copying over only LocalSettings, uploads and non-bundled extensions and skins, as described in Manual:Upgrading. Otherwise, old files from previous versions may cause strange errors like this one. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 07:58, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

No Pictures showed
Hello,
I've established a small wiki for our RPG group and i want to disable the read-permission for external viewers. at the moment, reading for all is allowed.
I just want to use some pictures and the problem is, that I just get an internal server error back vor thumbs and other sizes except the original one.
What Did I do:
- first of all, I allowed the unpload in the LocalSettings.php: $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";
- Next I disabled the grouppermissions: # Lesebeschränkungen # $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; # Ausnahme für Bilder # $wgWhitelistReadRegexp = [ '@^Datei.*@i' ]; # $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; The only permission i set was the CreateAccount
- Next, I tried $wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/img_auth.php"; but this didn't work.
- My User has the permission to upload a picture and can do it, but there is a problem with the thumbnails. So I tried the permissions for the /images - directory an set it to 775, as well for the subdirectories. This didn't work at all.
- Well, no have no idea what to to else. My other Wiki works fine, but there I did not played Bogart with the $wgGroupPermissions
- Some Basic Information: http://wiki.melvaunt.de/
| MediaWiki | 1.37.2 |
| PHP | 7.4.29 (cgi-fcgi) |
| MySQL | 5.7.38-log |
Do you have any idea, what I have to do to solve the problem?
Thank you,

- What type of internal server error? (Please make sure $wgShowExceptionDetails=true; ) Bawolff (talk) 10:46, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- The Error is:
- Internal Server Error
- The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
- Please contact the server administrator at service@webmailer.de to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
- More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
- I'm not sure, where the logfile is; Where have i set the $wgShowExceptionDetails ? 95.114.82.21 (talk) 11:12, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- For this type of error check apache error log. It is more likely an apache misconfiguration and not a mediawiki issue. Bawolff (talk) 18:58, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I checked it, but it gives me just a 500 533 back:
- wiki.melvaunt.de anon-[IP] - - [date] "GET /images/3/32/Mondsee_Melvaunt_mit_anderen_Orten.jpg HTTP/1.1" 500 533 "[wikiadress]/index.php?title=Datei:Mondsee_Melvaunt_mit_anderen_Orten.jpg" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows [Version]; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 [Browser]"
- With the variable set, I get an Error like:
- 200 78570
- Do you know, what this means?
- thanks you and greetings Lastknightnik82 (talk) 23:15, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- So that is the access log not the error log. Its likely the error log will have more details.
- Thecsecond number is how many bytes transfered. The first number is http status code - 200 = ok, 500 = server error. Bawolff (talk) 14:57, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Any ideas how I could fix this? I turned off confirmEdit, didn't help. Thermo mimi (talk) 13:12, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- The 425 in the last line is number of bytes transferred not the status code. The status code is 200 OK. Bawolff (talk) 18:57, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I see - it was just suspicious because the 304 and the 425 seem to be status codes that come together.
- Any idea what I could do to at least determine which part of the system is causing this? It works fine in a xampp, the error message is different in iis and apache - but on this server, no matter which web server, it is not possible to edit existing articles, creating new ones works fine. I went through the permissions for specific address, rest url, I set rewrite rules ... none of that helped. Thermo mimi (talk) 11:27, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Maybe visual editor has a config for timeout size somewhere.
- I guess you could try profiling the rest.php call, but that might be a little tricky to set up.
- If you dont have cache setup ($wgMainCacheType), consider setting up apcu Bawolff (talk) 14:54, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
SSL Certificate isn't working

Any ideas what is going wrong?
The code was copied directly from the downloaded tar.gz file. Brianread108 (talk) 17:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- This usually happens if the tar program you are using does not support long filenames properly. 7zip is known to have issues.
- Try using the commandline GNU tar program instead. Bawolff (talk) 18:53, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, that indeed was it! Many thanks. I'd used "mc " to copy the code. Brianread108 (talk) 05:31, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
Set variable in LocalSettings only if request is not for Special:Version
I have a hack I need to set for any request other than Special:Version. My wiki's language is not English, so the request URL (as it appears in the browser) is actually to the translated name. So I also need to know if I need to match on the translated name or it gets to the original name when LocalSettings.php is executed 37.142.88.252 (talk) 19:40, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- It depends on what variable you are matching against, but probably translated. Bawolff (talk) 05:23, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
500 file error only for specific upload?
Hello,
I run a shooting game wiki on MediaWiki that is currently experiencing a strange issue. A user recently uploaded an image file to the wiki with the intent of putting it in one of the articles for a game (SDOJ), but something about this upload seems to have gone wrong, resulting in a 500 error. We can't even look at what's going on with the file or access it for deletion.
https://shmups.wiki/library/Special:Log
The file in question that 500s: https://shmups.wiki/library/File:SDOJTestMenuComposite.png
I'm not really sure why this is happening, it seems very random. I tried checking the error logs for the wiki, but it doesn't have any history of this event, so I'm a little bit in the dark...
I'm hoping anyone around here with more experience with MediaWiki (and/or cPanel) can help me diagnose this issue. Thank you for reading regardless!
~ Charlene 67.183.200.122 (talk) 22:02, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- See Manual:How to debug
- It's recommended to set up logs for errors, so you can check them even if they're not displayed on the browser:
- Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 08:05, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
$wgDebugLogGroups = array( 'exception' => '/var/log/mediawiki/exception.log', 'error' => '/var/log/mediawiki/error.log', );
