Set wgArticleCountMethod to any, then waited 24 hours for cache to clear, then visited Special:Statistics?action=purge, the number of pages does not change

When I visit Special:Statistics, my site tells me I have 69 content pages, yet when I click on "Content Pages", this brings me to a page which lists 132 pages.

I then went to LocalSettings.php, and added the following line:

$wgArticleCountMethod = 'any';

I waited 24 hours for caches to clear and revisited the Special:Statistics page and it still says 69 content pages.

My page listing includes "hideredirects=1", so my expectation is to see the number 132 in the "Content Pages" section of statistics.

How can I further debug this?

Searching for a Phone Book, or something similar

Hey Guys,

We are implementing a MediaWiki for our fire brigade as an "information system" and therefore i'm searching for an appropriate solution to implement something like a "phone book". We have a lot of contacts with different backgrounds, e.g. catering, transportations, shelters, politicans, doctors, different companies and more.

And therefore we are looking for a solution to easily manage these contacts and find them fast, best would be with something like tags oder categories.

thanks

Edit shortcut not working in Firefox

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.

On this site, Wikipedia and wikis elsewhere, I can use keyboard shortcuts like ctrl-option-v for editing with VE, ctrl-option-h for page history, etc. (Mac). I used to be able to hit ctrl-option-e for (source) editing/viewing, but on Firefox nothing happens even though the shortcut is suggested when the cursor hovers over the "edit source" link.

I have already made sure that there are no add-ons hijacking this shortcut. Any ideas why this is happening? Cavila 16:22, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Page content lost, while DB is ok

Hi all,

I've been looking for similar cases to mine, but I've been unable to find one, hope this is not a dupe.

Long story short, we recently lost the DB where our MediaWiki was in, while the disk content was intact. We manage to restore a not very fresh version of the DB.

The wiki is not very frequently updated, but we keep adding content, so there could be a certain level of out of synch

The effect we see is that we are able to login but no pages are found at all. We get all the time the error saying that at this moment there is no content in this page.

We are able to see all the pages references in special - all pages, but links are not reaching the content.

This was not an upgrade error, MediaWiki was up to date. Jangjaytxia (talk) 20:40, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

So to confirm, your old db backup is from the same version of mediawiki as you are currently using?

Most likey cause would be if the db dump missed some tables.

So first off, verify that the revision, actor, comment and text tables all have rows in them.

If that's all true, i guess pick a specific page, find it in the page table, look at page_latest value, find that id number in the revusion table, find rev_actor make sure it is in the revision table, rev_comment_id and make sure there is a corresponding entry in comment table, and so forth until you have identified what is missing. Bawolff (talk) 08:11, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Very interesting... I can see that all tables have data, but in the revision table, all entries have rev_comment_id=0, rev_actor=0, and probably less important, rev_deleted=0.

Can this be the cause? I remember one of the chaps mentioning that he ran a script to try to fix the content...

May I manually update values to something? Jangjaytxia (talk) 14:04, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

rev_deleted = 0 is normal (means not revision deleted).

The other two will cause this problem. This is very similar to what the db looks like pre actor migration (e.g. pre the 1.35 upgrade) so you could try upgrading (make sure to keep backups in case it doesnt work or make the problem worse) Bawolff (talk) 15:15, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

upgrade worked like a charm!

New section at a specific level

Is there a way to tell Special:NewSection which level to use? By default it uses a level-2 section heading ("=="). What if you want it to use level-3? dcljr (talk) 00:08, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

No, but consider using preload instead. Bawolff (talk) 08:04, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Wiki-Statistics

Hello,

I have a question concerning statistics.

If I use the extended statistics I get for the number of content pages ca. 900

- if I "count" the pages which are in the main namespace, there are ca. 700

Could you tell me, where the difference might come from?

What are the criteria for "content page"? Amanave (talk) 07:13, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Manual:$wgContentNamespaces. Depending on your settings there may also be the requirement pages have one link. See manual:$wgArticleCountMethod.

Sometimes things can happen to make stats innacurate. There is a script you can run to recount the articles. Bawolff (talk) 08:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Hallo zusammen

Ich habe Mediawiki installiert und Benutzer eingerichtet.

Allerdings sehe ich nur die Hauptseite, aber keinerlei Funktionen.

Ich kann keine neuen Seiten erstellen, keine Dateien hochladen, etc.

Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, muss ich den Usern die Benutzergruppe "Benutzer" zuweisen. Diese Benutzergruppe steht allerdings unter Benutzerrechte nicht zur Verfügung.

Was muss ich tun, um Mediawiki funktionstüchtig zu machen?

Besten Dank für eure Unterstützung.

$wgLogos is not working

{{{text}}}

After trying to follow this page Manual:$wgLogos mine shows up blank. However if I browse to it via URL, from localhost or another computer, I can view it. So I guess that means the permissions are good.

Here is the $wgLogos settings in the LocalSettings.php file

$wgLogos = [

        '1x' => "/images/mylogo.png",           // path to 1x version

];

The actual path of the logo on disk is /var/lib/mediawiki/images/mylogo.png

If I change the above '1x' to a 2x or 1.5x, the default, "set $wgLogos..." image comes back. So it seems to be some formatting thing or something.

The mylogo.png image is 135x135 pixels and 47.4KB in size.

I also see the lines in LocalSettings.php file:

$wgLogos = [ '1x' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/wiki.png" ];

...

## The URL path to static resources (images, scripts, etc.)

$wgResourceBasePath = $wgScriptPath;

...

$wgScriptPath = "/mediawiki";

Here is my version information pulled from my special pages

MediaWiki	1.35.6
PHP	8.1.2-1ubuntu2.9 (apache2handler)
MariaDB	10.6.11-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
ICU	70.1

Entry point URLs

Entry point	URL
Article path	/mediawiki/index.php/$1
Script path	/mediawiki
index.php	/mediawiki/index.php
api.php	/mediawiki/api.php
rest.php	/mediawiki/rest.php

You need to create a second version of your png, reduced to 100 pixels. Then add the "icon" line. Flounder ceo (talk) 18:15, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

> I also see the lines in LocalSettings.php file: ...

Having two lines like that generally means the last one specified wins.

Based on what you wrote, i suspect you need to instead do

$wgLogos = [
        '1x' => "/mediawiki/images/mylogo.png",           // path to 1x version
];

more generally, verify at what url the image is served at. Bawolff (talk) 19:43, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

@Flounder ceo

you're saying I need two files? one 135x135 px for the 1x version and a second one 100x100 px for icon? I don't see where in the documentation it says you have to specify both those but I gave it a try, and it still does the same thing. The LocalSettings.php now looks like this.

$wgLogos = [

        '1x' => "/images/mylogo.png",           // path to 1x version

        'icon' => "/images/mylogo100.png",           // path to icon version

];

and I now have two files like this

/var/lib/mediawiki/images/mylogo.png

/var/lib/mediawiki/images/mylogo100.png

However this did not work.

Also, I mentioned those previous variables, $wgResourceBasePath and $wgScriptPath because $wgScriptPath is mentioned in this article Manual:FAQ#How do I change the logo? and $wgResourceBasePath is not mentioned in the article, but in the LocalSettings.php file it is there but says do not modify.

The change the logo article also says:

Caution: Do not simply overwrite the default logo installed with MediaWiki (/resources/assets/wiki.png); this file will be overwritten when you upgrade.

and $wgResourceBasePath has a default value of /resources/assets/wiki.png which makes it seem like I shouldn't touch it.

## The URL paths to the logo.  Make sure you change this from the default,

## or else you'll overwrite your logo when you upgrade!

$wgLogos = [ '1x' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/wiki.png" ];

I hope you can understand the confusion here...

@Bawolff

I tried this method before actually. I used method #2 mentioned in this article Manual:FAQ#How do I change the logo?

perhaps I don't understand the $wgScriptPath variable but I was under the impression that it was just the root of the URL, which in my case was /mediawiki

However, when I tried using "{$wgScriptPath}/images/mylogo.png"; as the value for my icon, it broke the site. Now it seems to be working. Not sure what changed or why it's working now. Is it better to use the literal path /mediawiki/images/mylogo.png or path including the $wgScriptPath variable?

I currently have rectified the issue by using the built-in lines:

## The URL paths to the logo.  Make sure you change this from the default,

## or else you'll overwrite your logo when you upgrade!

$wgLogos = [ '1x' => "{$wgResourceBasePath}/images/mylogo.png" ];

It is working like this. Wakemeforlunch (talk) 20:45, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

> Is it better to use the literal path /mediawiki/images/mylogo.png or path including the $wgScriptPath variable?

It doesn't really matter. Using $wgScriptPath means if you ever change it, you only have to change it in one place. The downside is it can be more confusing because you have to specify it after specifying $wgScriptPath, and you must use " not ' for the string.

> you're saying I need two files? one 135x135 px for the 1x version and a second one 100x100 px for icon? I don't see where in the documentation it says you have to specify both those but I gave it a try, and it still does the same thing.

Some skins want different sized logos. It really depends on what skin you are using. See also manual:$wgLogos Bawolff (talk) 21:28, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Many skins run fine with the 1x 135 px file but some, like Vector 2022, want the icon 100 px file. As long as you're doing it, you might as well add the 100 px and future-proof your site somewhat. Flounder ceo (talk) 13:51, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

What should I do to write code blocks?

I want to write pascal code on my website, I tried <syntaxhighlight> for code blocks but it didn't work. Is there another method, can you help me? Saliha96 (talk) 13:59, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

What exactly did not work? Please also see "Post a new question" in the sidebar. Malyacko (talk) 15:49, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

maybe try <nowiki> and <code>. Flounder ceo (talk) 18:10, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I dont think syntaxhighlight (pygments) supports pascal, but it supports related languages like delphi or modula-2.

If you cant get syntaxhighlight to work, <pre> is the best alternative. Bawolff (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I share code blocks of delphi language on my site. I want it to appear as in the example url below.

https://tr.wikibooks.org/wiki/C_Sharp_Programlama_Dili/%C4%B0lk_program%C4%B1m%C4%B1z

I added syntaxhighlight_GeSHi to my site. My site did not open as soon as I added it to the LocalSettings.php file. I'm using MediaWiki version 1.39. Saliha96 (talk) 07:19, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Bringing the Contents to the side bar

How can I bring the "Contents" list to the side bar just like wikipedia? The Contents list is getting longer and longer that I have to scroll a lot. SakagamiYae (talk) 15:23, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

This is done via the Vector skin, in the Vector-2022 variant. Either you install and run an unstable software version of MediaWiki, or you wait for the most recent MediaWiki release to include this. Malyacko (talk) 15:49, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Changed the Domain

I changed the domain that is linked to my wiki, the new domain works, but some times clicking on a internal link takes me to the old domain (which is not conected any where).

When I pass with the mouse on links in the side bar I see the new Domain, but when I pass on links in the home page I see the old domain and when clicking I get diverted to the old domain.

I tried to edit the page, but when I click on save I get diverted to the old domain.

What can I do ? 147.234.64.59 (talk) 18:01, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Review LocalSettings to make sure everything points to the new domain. Flounder ceo (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Clicking on save and going to the wrong place generally means that $wgServer is incorrect in LocalSettings.php. generally internal links use relative urls and should not be affected by domain changes as long as the path stays the same. Bawolff (talk) 19:53, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

pagebreaking before tables in printout

In printouts longish tabels do a pagebreak before when they do not fit on the paper. That in many cases results in one page with just a header and the table starting in the next page. I added a class in mediawiki:Print.css and applied it to the table, but that doesnot affect anything.

in the above data I cannot find IMEI, how to match it to the correct device.

The IMEI for the above device is 000F383636373238303631333532343134 ( its is not there in the sent data)

Appreciate your help.

StructuredDiscussions Extension: Is it possible to make a link that creates a discussion page with a specified name?

Hi!

I would like to use the StructuredDiscussions extension to create a discussion that is linked to a wiki page. Right now I have to go to Special Pages -> Enable Structured Discussions and enter the name of the discussion page I would like to create.

Now I would like to be able to embed a link on a wiki page that redirects to "Enable Structured Discussions" and ideally creates a page that has the name format '[wiki page] Discussion' (maybe there is a way to pre-fill the form that is opened when clicking on "Enable Structured Discussion" with the name of the page that linked me there?). Or maybe there is some kind of workaround for that.

I tried to find a way to make a form for creating a StructuredDiscussion page but it seems it's not possible to make a template for that.

Help is very appreciated. :) 2A02:810A:B80:3388:F88F:653A:CEC9:E635 (talk) 14:56, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Incorrect translation of a message on Special:ContentTranslation

Hello. Where is it possible to translate the message reporting the minutes passed since the translation draft was last edited (on the Special:ContentTranslation dashboard)? I would like to update the translation as it is currently incorrect and very annoying for Slovenian (sl). It says after (x minutes) instead of (x minutes) ago. The div class is 'cx-last-updated'. I tried hard to find it in translatewiki and elsewhere but to no avail. TadejM (talk) 19:43, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

That translation is provided by Moment (https://momentjs.com) not MediaWiki. So unfortunately it cannot be changed here. – Ammarpad (talk) 08:28, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Error creating directory shellbox

I'm running a Mediawiki install locally on XAMPP.

When I attempt to view Common.css, I'm getting the error -

Warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\vendor\wikimedia\shellbox\src\FileUtils.php on line 113.

Internal error

[25778356fbad990ba5a19c4d] /mediawiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Common.css Shellbox\ShellboxError: Error creating directory shellbox-0093d7cde73873f0

I'm running:

MediaWiki	1.39.1
PHP	7.4.33 (apache2handler)
MariaDB	10.4.27-MariaDB

In LocalSettings.php, I have:

$wgTmpDirectory = "C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\images\temp";

That directory is writable and has full permissions.

I can't think of anything else to try.

Thanks for any suggestions. Redheadkelly (talk) 23:47, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Just for anyone who might come across this issue...

I had been using an older version of Mediawiki since it was just a local install. I upgraded to Mediawiki to 1.39.1, which required upgrading XAMPP to support php 7.4.33. It didn't solve the problem, but when I removed $wgTmpDirectory from LocalSettings.php, it worked. Redheadkelly (talk) 05:52, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

How to allow bureaucrats to create (local) rights dynamically?

Like how stewards can create (global) rights without modifying LocalSettings.php, how can I make bureaucrats do the same? The last available username (talk) 04:30, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

You need an extension. The one stewards use is extension:CentralAuth but it is oriented more to having multiple wikis. Bawolff (talk) 07:24, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Problem in TemplateEngine.php

I get the following message:

I applied the following temporary fix:

and the message disappears. Dessources (talk) 12:49, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Mediawiki behind Nginx proxy working inconsistently

I'm using the official Mediawiki Docker container to host a wiki on port 8181. I have Nginx Proxy Manager running as a reverse proxy for the Mediawiki.

Whenever I enter the URL in my browser, the page loads partially. Looking at the logs of the Mediawiki container, only status "200" is reported. The logs of Nginx Proxy Manager however, list many "connect() [...] failed (22: invalid argument) [...]", along with warnings about upstream prematurely closing the connection and "upstream temporarily disabled while connecting to upstream".

Does anyone have an idea what might be going wrong? I have verified that if I connect directly to port 8181, bypassing the proxy, everything works as expected. I've also tried all Nginx configuration that I've found online for people having a similar issue, to no avail sadly. 80.112.178.13 (talk) 19:50, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Oh also, I've set the $wgCdnServers setting to allow for the local ip of the container:

$wgUseCdn = true;

$wgCdnServers = array();

$wgCdnServers[] = "10.89.0.2:80";

$wgCdnServersNoPurge = array();

$wgCdnServersNoPurge[] = "10.89.0.2";

Setting the subnet "10.0.0.0/8" in $wgCdnServersNoPurge doesn't change anything either. 80.112.178.13 (talk) 19:53, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Error 22 definitely leads me to think it is an nginx config issue, but what, i dont know. Bawolff (talk) 22:26, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Alright, that's at least a good pointer. How would Mediawiki behave if the CdnServers were misconfigured? Would it respond with 403? 80.112.178.13 (talk) 22:48, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

if you mean $wgCdnServers was misconfigured, it would just show the wrong ip address when you edit not logged in.

Some other misconfigurations might result in a 500 error. It is unlikely anything would cause a 403 Bawolff (talk) 23:00, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

For anyone stumbling on this later, I figured out what was going wrong:

The official Mediawiki Docker image (tag 1.35.1) does not play well with Nginx' `proxy_http_version 1.1;`. This was set by default in our configuration, so fixing it to be `proxy_http_version 1.0;` fixed the problem (without significant performance downsides on the scale that we're using the wiki, namely an internal wiki for a small company).

Hopefully that helps someone else! 80.112.178.13 (talk) 10:33, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

This sounds like nginx isn't understanding the http 1.1 stream that it is receiving from MediaWiki. Common issues have been with http stream compression (there was a bug in MediaWiki at some time with this, you can disable this functionality however), and also issues with old versions of nginx.

Depends on what is in softsql.sql. if its a full db dump, then you are in luck.

softsql.sql appears to be a full dump. Trying now. Johnywhy (talk) 22:37, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

@Bawolff

- Do i simply run the following in mysql admin?

mysql -u wikidb_user -p wikidb < dump_of_wikidb.sql

- Create an empty db first?

- Should i get old username/pw from backup? Where? Johnywhy (talk) 23:25, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

You can check the sql file to see if it creates the database (see if it has a line like CREATE DATABASE, somewhere near the beginning after the SETs).

The username/password is for your db server. It might not be the same as the one for the old site. The old site db username/password would be in LocalSettings.php (look for $wgDBname, $wgDBpass ) Bawolff (talk) 04:04, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Thx! Here's the beginning of the sql file. As you can see, it's a Softaculous backup. That scares me. I'm worried something will fail. Is it a MediaWiki .sql file? Or a Softaculous .sql file? Same thing?

It appears there's no CREATE, so i believe i need to create a new db. To avoid any changes to the .sql file, i assume i should use the same db name for the new db. And ensure the username/pw match the values in LocalSettings.php

So yes, it probably wants you to create the database first.

The format is a mysql dump file. This is a pretty standard way to backup a database.

the first table in what you posted is namdd account_credentials. That is not a table name mediawiki uses, but it could be a mediawiki extension, or possibly the db backup has both mediawiki and non mediawiki things.

Keep the file around. If something goes wrong you can always start over and try again. Bawolff (talk) 07:04, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Tagging as 'Needs more detail' / listing tagged pages

Hello,

I am new to mediawiki but I haven't been able to find what I am looking for. I know that when you link to a page that doesn't exist it shows up as "Wanted". But I am looking for a way to flag already created pages as 'needing more details'. While also having a page similar to the 'wanted pages' that I can go to and see a list of these tagged pages.

It would be Ideal if I could tag sections of a page as needing more details and have a page listing all of the page/sections that are flagged, but just having a list of pages that need attention would be fine.

I have tried looking though the list of extensions but I do not recall seeing what I was looking for. Perhaps someone in the community could point me in the right direction or tell me if such a thing exists.

thank you, 2600:1700:6950:69A0:50C:6CF4:9907:D06D (talk) 22:14, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

How to properly delete a 'ghost' article?

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.

---

Further to Issue in searching Wiki keyword I have taken a dive into the actual database and have found we have four instances of two articles with the same page title "Widget:<Widget name>". One is in ns=0 and one is ns=274. For example, Widget:Google Document. Their page ids are different.

Is there a proper way to delete the 'ghost' articles in ns=0?

I can load the 'ghost' version from the Article namespace using w/index.php?curid=xxx and by adding parameters check the page history &action=history and page information &action=info The later confirms the page is in the Article namespace.

I am not the original wiki admin and my best guess based on examine the page histories is the Extension:Widgets was installed early in the wiki's life, the articles were created, then the extension was disabled/removed, stranding these articles, possibly in ns=0.

A number of years later the Widgets extension was added/enabled and new versions of the Widgets:<Widget name> were created. I am left to again guess that the software did not make the connection to the older articles in ns=0.

I have tried appending the parameter &action=delete when viewing the ns=0 version of the articles but it again an Internal error and traceback. Peculiar Investor (talk) 03:46, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

You can sometimes do that by using the API.

Easiest way is to run cleanupTitles.php Bawolff (talk) 08:17, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

It found and fixed the four instances and now search is no longer returning an Internal error. Peculiar Investor (talk) 11:11, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Fatal exception of type 'Error' - Math extension

After installing the Math extension and trying to add a simple "<math>0</math>" command the page doesnt load properly and shows "[14d0dd0b3c5f7a55d370b9a3] 2023-02-06 12:41:34: Fataler Ausnahmefehler des Typs „Error“" which translates to Fatal exception of type 'Error'.

I installed Math from this link: https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/Math-REL1_35-53e3cef.tar.gz. I know its not the newest verion but thats due to me not having the newest mediawiki version.

I also noticed that the Math-Status Specialpage shows Test Comparing the generated SVG with the reference failed.

Does someone know where this comes from, or how to solve this? Thanks in advance. Linzm99 (talk) 12:44, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

I installed a slightly newer version of Math and it works now! I propably missed something with the other install. Linzm99 (talk) 13:07, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Missing revision after upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade an instance that is running 1.31.6. After I do the upgrade I get the following:

The revision #76147 of the page named "Main Page" does not exist.

This is usually caused by following an outdated history link to a page that has been deleted.

I can see that revision in the revision table. But maybe it's not for the "Main Page"? Oldmanwaterfall (talk) 14:49, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

oh boy, welcome to the club. The support desk houses tons of these problems. From what I learned, and if you have a backup, upgrade incrementally. There is a database corruption that happens somewhere at around or after 1.35 (I believe), so upgrade in steps Rebastion2 (talk) 08:49, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks I tried a new upgrade but went to the latest Legacy LTS 1.35.9 and it seemed to have worked like I expected. I'll go with this for now. Oldmanwaterfall (talk) 13:59, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Good. But what is the question? :) Pierpao (talk) 15:24, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

File:FileName generates incorrect URL (file://filename)

I've migrated and upgraded an old mediawiki to 1.35.8 and am now fixing up the configuration. The content loads but file links aren't working properly (they are working on the old wiki). For example, [[File:Monitor_Code_Block.jpg]], does not show the file and instead creates a url file://Monitor_Code_Block.jpg, instead of the correct URL. I've tried running php maintenance\rebuildall.php but that didn't help. The files were copied to the upgraded wiki in the images folder. $wgScriptPath, $wgUploadPath and $wgServer seem to be set correctly. 196.24.216.2 (talk) 08:37, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

To expand on what I do see, the image replaced with a citation looking like "[[3]], where the inner [3] is a URL pointing to "file:dcom_.png" in this example (not even a valid file URL in fact). I've tried running php maintenance\refreshImageMetadata.php, but that didn't help either. 196.24.216.2 (talk) 13:04, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Do you have $wgUrlProtocols set to something other than its default in LocalSettings.php? If so, what is it set to? Bawolff (talk) 19:50, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, that was the problem! It included 'file:'. Changing that to 'file://' fixed my problem as per the bug description in your link. 196.24.216.2 (talk) 07:39, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Problem with login and user data

I use MediaWiki for a private single user purpose in a cPanel managed commercial host, and used its upgrade mechanism to upgrade from 1.37.6 to 1.39.1. Before upgrade and after upgrade I was able to log into MW. However, there was a problem with one page, and I decided to revert to the complete backup of 1.37.6 cPanel had made for me to see if it worked there.

After this, I was not able to log in any more. I tried also to create a new user, and it succeeded partly - a new user was created, but the username I gave was not registered in the mySQL database, while my full name was, and after I logged out, there was no way to log back in.

Also, cPanel sets the wiki admin user name and password, and these did not work either anymore, and setting it again and saving through cPanel has no effect on the MW. I tried to upgrade to 1.39.1 again, and the same situation continues.

I am able to browse the mySQL with cPanel, and I see e.g. the user I created in mw_user as "Unknown user", but with my name as the "Full name". This unknown user is the only row in the mw_user table. My former two users (admin and normal) are visible in the mw_actor table.

Any ideas? Khk2 (talk) 18:12, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Hosting service dropped MediaWiki support totally

I have used Aplus.net as my hosting service for 20 years. And I have used MediaWiki on it for 15 years.

Database backup should consist of a single .sql file (maybe compressed in .zip/.gz/.xz/.7z) that you must restore on a new *empty* database server (database with no existing tables, etc).

Manual:Restoring a wiki from backup has useful information about the process.

You may try to use the same MediaWiki files that your host provided first, to see if you can have a working wiki with the same version you were using before. You seem to have two mediawiki installation folders, in askoh.com/public/mwiki and askoh.net/public/mwiki. If the version of MediaWiki was too old, it may not work due to recent PHP versions. In that case, you should upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35 (not 1.39, because of phab:T326071). Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:36, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

I am trying to recover a wiki (that is an older, but unknown version) that died for unknown reasons. I have an SQL dump, and the original LocalSettings.php file. After doing the SQL import, and copying the current version into the web directory (without the LocalSettings), the installer recognizes the files, takes a long time updating them, and apparently succeeds. The wiki appears to be working, more or less, but I can't log in using the account created during install. I have no idea why. Taustinoc (talk) 23:24, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

You should log in with the original account you had in the wiki. I don't think an upgrade with the install script would create a new user.

Since you mention the installer takes a long time, I wonder if it might be timeouting in the middle. Running maintenance/update.php would have been a safer bet.

If you can't log in with the existing user (and you are sure you have the right password), maybe it's some kind of incompatibility between password hashes, although I don't think there should be any. What's the type ofo hash of that user? As in, what's the beginning of the user_password field in the user table for that account? (the value before the second : defines the kind of hash) Platonides (talk) 01:34, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

update.php says everything is up to date. Unfortunately, I don't have the password for the original account, though I might be able to get it.

As an experiment, I reinstalled it as an open wiki, and tried to create a normal account. I get this error:

[314f82c5ce98981f49fd8cfc] 2023-02-09 04:26:28: Fatal exception of type "CannotCreateActorException"

Also, it won't let me create an account with a username of admin, because that already exists, but changePassword.php says "no such user: admin"

So I think something is not right somewhere, but I'm not finding anything useful on the error message. Taustinoc (talk) 04:33, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

> [314f82c5ce98981f49fd8cfc] 2023-02-09 04:26:28: Fatal exception of type "CannotCreateActorException"

That definitely sounds not right. I would guess something went wrong with update.php. also, consider setting $wgShowExceptionDetails=true; in LocalSettings.php Bawolff (talk) 07:10, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Well, I recovered the admin account. Had to dig the correct username out of the SQL dump and use changePassword.php, but I can now log in as the admin.

And, for reasons unknown, I can create new accounts how.

But there's a *lot* of pages that return "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." However, if I do a search for content specific to that page in the SQL dump, it's clearly there.

And when I search for a page that isn't there, I get

[19d7ba82cd4f297e2334e1eb] /index.php?title=Special:Search&search=Code+%28roll+option%29 Wikimedia\Assert\PreconditionException: Precondition failed: This Title instance does not represent a proper page, but merely a link target.

More important, is there a fix? Taustinoc (talk) 20:25, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

You're probably affected by the bug phab:T326071 (fixed, but 1.39.2 hasn't been released yet).

There's no (easy) recovery for this. Just restore your backup again, but upgrade to 1.35 first. Then you can upgrade to 1.37 Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:44, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

That does seem to be the same error. I'll give it a go. Taustinoc (talk) 21:57, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Well, I don't get errors when I try to create a page, but there were still a bunch of pages that have no content. Which turned out to be pages whose names started with lower case letters. $wgCapitalLinks and cleanupCaps.php seems to be taking care of that. If it also cleans up the template pages, I think I'm good. Thanks. Taustinoc (talk) 22:21, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Well, cleanupCaps.php didn't fix the templates, but I can use Move to fix those. There aren't that many. So I'm good to go.

How to make a table of contents on the left outside the reference information block (Old style).

From the information that I read on MediaWiki, it was written that when switching to the new Vector 2022 template, the table of contents will be located outside the article block, so that when scrolling it is always in front of your eyes Terinel (talk) 06:52, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Please see "Post a new question" in the sidebar. I'm not sure what the question is as you mention both "old style" but also switching to the Vector 2022 skin (not "template")... Malyacko (talk) 10:59, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Cloudflare and Apache returning 127.0.0.1 as IP

Hello,

I'm horribly confused as I've setup remoteip on apache to use CF-Connecting-IP but unfortunately whenever I use CheckUser on MediaWiki (or when I tried to verify my email) it keeps sending the ip as 127.0.0.1.

Does anyone else have any ideas as to how this can be fixed?

error "There is currently no text in this page" after update

Hi all,

I've updated mediawiki from1.32 to 1.39, and ran the update.php script. Now I can login to the wiki, but for any page I open I got this message:

"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."

Can't find any solution ErPetruzza (talk) 12:00, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

All the details related to the pages are available (name, lenght, ect...) but there are missing history and content ErPetruzza (talk) 15:00, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

I also tryed a new installation of mediawiki, and then to restore the db from backup. But nothing changed ErPetruzza (talk) 18:07, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

I had to rollback to 1.32 and restore the db again. At least thousands of wiki pages aren't lost ErPetruzza (talk) 18:39, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

You have to upgrade to 1.35 first. See phab:T326071 Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 18:13, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

thank you, I'll try this ErPetruzza (talk) 08:50, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Files with missing revision 0 cannot be restored in 1.39.1

Hi, from a migration/update that did not work well around 2009 (I was not involved at that time) we (https://www.hammwiki.info) have a real lot of images with a missing revision 0, so the description etc. cannot be edited etc.

In MediaWiki 1.35.7 we had a good workaround: Deleting and restoring the images created the revision 0 and everything was fine.

In 1.39.1 the image cannot even be deleted, seems the Mediawiki checks for revision 0 what it did not in 1.35.7. DeleteBatch.php and Undelete.php in maintenance folder work, but do also not create the revision 0.

Example Image: https://www.hammwiki.info/wiki/Datei:Allee-center_1.jpg

Any idea how I can solve this? Being able to create a revision 0 would be fully OK, no matter how.

Cheers Frank BonniHamm (talk) 15:05, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

oh yeah, sorry to hear. I have the same problem, and scrolling through the support desk, so have many others. There seems to have been a breaking change somewhere at the 1.35 mark, and if that was skipped or didn't work correctly, some data in the actors table is irrestorably lost... it would also help me to be able to at least delete or overwrite these files.... Rebastion2 (talk) 17:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Your problem is tracked at phab:T326071, however your wiki's user attribution data has been lost already. Restore from backup and upgrade to 1.35 first if you can. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 18:12, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

"Will be fixed in MediaWiki 1.39.2" and "attribution data has been lost already" are sort of contradictory. What does the patch at T326071 fix for those already affected? Who has backups from years ago.... all very frustrating. Rebastion2 (talk) 15:42, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

You don't need backups from years ago. You need a backup from *before* the upgrade. You're supposed to backup your database before an upgrade (it's recommended on Manual:Upgrading), and in case you run into problems, restore it immediately, not leave your wiki in a totally broken state and continue overwriting backups from the broken state.

The fix in 1.39.2 is to prevent data loss. However, wikis that have been upgraded already from a very old versions, have lost their data and it's unrecoverable. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

The problem is, if I don't notice these Revision 0 errors after an upgrade, like most people do if it only affects a handful of files/pages, then years go by until you do notice. I know I am sitting here like an idiot because the post-1.35 upgrader is all screwed up, but it's not years ago when 1.35 came out that I noticed the database corruption. In order to revert to a backup and not leave the wiki in a broken state, I need to know it's a broken state. And that's not always so clear or visible.... unfortunately. Rebastion2 (talk) 17:56, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

any suggestions on how to manually fix this if it just affects a handful of pages and files? in my mind, if I could erase all traces of a page/file in the database (as if it never existed) and then create it completely anew, that could solve it... or I enter some bogus actor/rev IDs... but not sure how to do that exactly without making things worse Rebastion2 (talk) 12:29, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

so I wonder without having done anything if I attempt another upgrade will it work now, or do we need https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328169 first for sure Rebastion2 (talk) 10:50, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Help for these and related issues would be huge, maybe as a package of database integrity / repair tools MW maintenance could have in store? I lag several versions of MW behind because of these issues, and not every project has the budget to hire a database wiz to overcome them. Rebastion2 (talk) 12:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

would be great if someone could work on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328169 Rebastion2 (talk) 06:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

PHP Error after upgrade 1.37 to 1.39.1

{{{text}}}

My host required me to upgrade from PHP 7.4.30 to PHP 8.2 so i decided to update MediaWiki first from 1.37.? to 1.39.1. After merging the new release into my instance, blank page.

The DB is MySQL 8.0.28-0ubuntu0.20.04.3

PHP is currently 7.4.30 until this is fixed at any rate.

The site is: https://wayneprecht.org/wiki3/index.php

Enabling debug yields this:

I have no clue how to proceed. I currently have all extensions commented out and the LocalSettings file has all the recent changes. 1.37 had been working fine for at least 18 months, so something in the update. Finavar (talk) 21:19, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Please install your wiki on a new, empty directory, and copy only LocalSettings.php, as explained in Manual:Upgrading.

You're mixing PHP files from two different installations!! Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:53, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Created a fresh install and moved LocalSettings.php, the 2 skins and 3 extenstions I had added to 1.3 and copied the images folder.

Wiki now works, but no images appear. I get a grey box with "Error creating thumbnail: File missing".

The files are for sure there, permissions are correct. LocalSettings.php has these variables set:

$wgScriptPath = "/wiki3";

$wgUploadDirectory = "$wgScriptPath/images";

$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images";


$wgEnableUploads = true;

$wgUseImageMagick = true;

$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";

$wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse = true; Finavar (talk) 03:08, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Probably a permission issue with the images folder (ensure it is writsble by the webserver) Bawolff (talk) 06:02, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Error creating thumbnail: File missing looks like MediaWiki can't access the file. Try opening a image from the File: page directly. You probably made a typo when copying the images folder (maybe you have an /images/images folder or similar). Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:18, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Your summary said cannot use variable replacement, but that is not the issue here. You can use variable replacement if you want (as long as you define things in the right order), you just have to use the correct variables. E.g. for $wgUploadDirectory would be "$IP/images" and not $wgScriptPath based. Bawolff (talk) 03:16, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Help With Deprecated Method getCanonicalName()

I want to upgrade to the latest LTS release 1.39.1 from 1.35.1, but I'm blocked by this method deprecated as of 1.38. Unfortunately, the 1.38 release notes do not allude to alternative methods for those deprecated.

The problem is that this method is used by Extension:IPBAuthLogin, and I want to try to figure out if it's possible to wrangle it into submission. I'm not a PHP coder, but I can usually figure things out or at least learn enough to ask the right questions.

I operate a closed wiki restricted to forum members only, so my forums act as a gateway to User access to the wiki. This method is a part of a function that essentially normalizes a wiki and forum user name to get a clean match without possibility of duplicating users, allowing authentication with my forum user names.

Here's the trace for the error:

The replacement for the removed User method is UserNameUtils::getCanonical(). – Ammarpad (talk) 12:37, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

I was able to work through updates to my local of Extension:IPBAuthLogin with that method as a starting point, so thank you again!

Once I'm finished with all my testing, I will fork and update it.

Is it best practice to update the extension in place (will likely render it useless for MW versions < 1.38), or should that one be left "as is" for compatibility with 1.35-1.37? ~z929669 Talk 17:18, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

MediaWiki sending IP as 127.0.0.1

Hello, I'm having quite a few issues as MediaWiki is detecting my IP as 127.0.0.1 when I use CheckUser and when I was looking to confirm my IP.

I've already configured Apache2 following [2] and I am unsure as to why this is happening. I have already created a php test file and confirmed that the CF-Connecting-IP header is being passed.

I've also tried:

$wgUseForwardedFor = true; $wgForwardedForHeader = "CF-Connecting-IP";

To no avail.

In CheckUser, when I look to see all edits from my username, it is picking up the XFF header: "IP: 127.0.0.1   XFF: [omit]". But I don't know why it isn't just picking the CF-Connecting-IP plainly up as the user's IP.

Please help, it'd be much appreciated since this is a bit confusing and practically makes CheckUser redundant. Carolina2k22 (talk) 04:50, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Upgraded from 1.26.3 to 1.39.1 directly

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.

---

Dreamhost updated PHP to 8.1 today around noon and the removal of the each() function broke critical aspects of my wiki including saving pages. I have been running 1.26.3. Foolishly, I did not read the entire Upgrading manual page and instead of stepping through 1.35 first as it advises, I upgraded directly to 1.39.1. Installation threw Error 1054 Unknown Column many times and not knowing better I created the comments table manually, and repeated the process to create each unknown column that threw an Error 1054 so the upgrade would populate these values and proceed. The upgrade apparently succeeded but the website then failed to load, throwing an error. I have a backup of the database after the 1.39.1 install.

I then attempted to downgrade to 1.35.9 by replacing the install files, and after I manually recreated several columns and indices in templatelinks that had been dropped by the 1.39.1 install, the upgrade process succeeded. After all the upgrade process now was only looking for these columns and indices so it could drop them again anyway. But it is still throwing an error.

MediaWiki internal error.

Original exception: [Y@XAYqXqbAL2rW9YxfgqVwAAAAE] /index.php Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1713 of /home/(username)/wiki.(my website).com/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

Error 1054: Unknown column 'page_restrictions' in 'field list' (mysql.(my website).com)

Function: LinkCache::fetchPageRow

Query: SELECT page_id,page_len,page_is_redirect,page_latest,page_restrictions,page_content_model FROM `page` WHERE page_namespace = 0 AND page_title = 'Main_Page' LIMIT 1

I also have made a backup of the database after this 1.35.9 install, and this is where I am currently. I do not have a backup of the database from before I began, but I do have a backup of the 1.26.3 install files. I can't downgrade back to 1.26.3 because it can't find the cur table. This was clearly not designed to be backwards compatible this way. It is clear that actual page text tables are unaffected by the upgrade. Based on the manual the upgrade essentially shuffled data around, like collating comments into the comments table, and most of what was affected was things like edit summaries, which I don't use or need. Commenting out extensions in LocalSettings has not done anything.

I'm not a mysql guy. I am doing this through Dreamhost and phpMyAdmin with Filezilla for the FTP. I don't know how to access a command prompt or a shell for this install.

What is the best course of action I should take to fix this? Do I run Maintenance/update.php through a command prompt somehow? Should I wipe the database and reimport one of the backups on a fresh install? Ancillation (talk) 05:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Questions about changing back

I've got 2 questions about changing the page appearance:

1) I do NOT like the new page appearance- there is much too wasted space in the margins, especially to the right. The option is given to change back, but when I select that, I get a page designed for a software professional. I just want to know WHICH option do I choose to get the old look back, since that IS offered? For Dummies version, please.

2) I do NOT want all of the detailed clutter that shows up on the Current Events page (right column). The only thing that I'm interested in on a regular basis is the By Topic listing. I don't WANT the Trials, Elections, Sports, etc. in EVERY visit. So I close the sections, but the NEXT time I visit the page, they're back. How do I make my selections PERMANENT (but reversible on the particular visit)? CFLeon (talk) 11:41, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

That's a preformatted text not table. <syntaxhighlight lang='text'> text used to have a horizontal scroll bar but this was removed due to various issues with overflow. (See phab:T24060, for example) – Ammarpad (talk) 18:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

I didn't say it's open. The solution also is already what you see (that's to not add scrolling)

However, I think you can add the scrolling behavior for yourself by adding this in your common.css

    overflow: auto;

== CSS class for logged in users ==

Hello, I noticed that the "body" element has different CSS classes depending on the current namespace, action (e.g. action-edit), etc.

Is there a way to add a class depending on whether the user is logged in or not?

This would help in creating the style on my wiki.

Thank you! [[User:Mruczekdd|Mruczekdd]] ([[User talk:Mruczekdd|talk]]) 18:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
:I'm not sure about that, but you can use the page MediaWiki:Group-user.css for CSS you only want to show up for logged in users. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] ([[User talk:Bawolff|talk]]) 20:22, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
:I found some code in another thread, changed it a bit and it seems to be working
:LocalSettings.php:<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>
$wgHooks['OutputPageBodyAttributes'][] = 'wfAddLoggedInClass';
function wfAddLoggedInClass( $out, $sk, &$bodyAttrs) {
  $user = RequestContext::getMain()->getUser();
  if ( $user->isRegistered() ) {
    $bodyAttrs['class'] .= ' loggedin';
  }
  return true;
}

{{Archive top|result=Needed to add an override to the <Directory> section of the Apache config file. Apache error was <code>IfModule not allowed here</code>. An <code>AllowOverride</code> ALL in the right place fixed it.|status=resolved}}

MediaWiki	1.39.1

PHP	8.1.2-1ubuntu2.10 (apache2handler)

MySQL	8.0.32-0ubuntu0.22.04.2

Apache version 2.4.52

Example page: http://rptools.hyperbooks.com/index.php/mapTool_User_Interface


I am trying to move a wiki from a test server to a live server. Everything works perfectly on the test server, but images don't show on the live server. Both servers are Ubuntu 22.04 server, and both were set up identically using the LAMP server install in apt.


The database import seems to have gone without error. Both tables with "image" in their name show the same data. The images are there in the images directory. Permissions are currently set to 777, so permission issues seem unlikely. File Upload says it works, but I can't find the file anywhere in the images directory. (It might be there, in all the folders, I can't find it.)


cleanupImages.php only lists 42 images, but there are over 2,000 (and the show in the File list). No idea what that means.


rebuildImages.php does nothing. as does rebuildall.php.


If I click on a missing image, it takes me to the File: page, where the thumbnail doesn't show. If I click on the file there, I get:

<code>Internal Server Error</code>

<code>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.</code>

<code>Please contact the server administrator at [no address given] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.</code>

<code>More information about this error may be available in the server error log.</code>

<code>Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Server at rptools.hyperbooks.com Port 80</code>


I even tried renaming LocalSettings.php and rebuilding it, but I get the same errors.

== Loss of session data when editing in 1.39.1 ==

*MediaWiki 1.39.1

*PHP 8.1.14 (apache2handler)
*MySQL 8.0.32 Ubuntu 20.04.2

After updating from LTS 1.35.8 to 1.39.1, I have been encountering intermittent loss of session data when editing. The message is:
----Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. 

''Because (my wiki) has raw HTML enabled, the preview is hidden as a precaution against JavaScript attacks.'' 

'''If this is a legitimate edit attempt, please 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.
----Refreshing the page results in a successful save and I remain logged in. I get this error when editing pages or using the ReplaceText extension.

I enabled a debug log as described in [[Manual:How to debug]], but could not find any errors. I check the "Keep me logged in" box at login.

My Localhost.php cache settings are:

<code>$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL;</code>

<code>$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL;</code>

I have a multiple server configuration with a load-balancing front end across multiple traffic handling servers connected to to a single server containing the database and files on the backend.

How can this be debugged?

:Generally if you had multiple web servers the issue would happen a lot (since CACHE_ACCEL is not shared between webservers).

I see that others have asked about this, and that the answer is "yes, it can be done using $_SERVER with $wgServer", but I can't find any details on exactly how.


I have a fully functional wiki set up at https://rptools.hyperbooks,com/ It is a reconstruction of a broken (due, I believe, to an update to something on the part of the host) wiki at wiki.rptools.info. The folks who run RPTools would like to redirect that URL to my copy, at least temporarily (it may be some time before the guy who needs to fix it will have the time to dig in). So I'd like to have both URLs point to the same wiki install, using the the same database. (Setting up the virtual host in Apache to point to the same directory is no problem.)

Kia ora koutou, I'm just enquiring to see if any of you know of an up-to-date Discord OAuth2 extension that I can use on my wiki (and force all users to link their accounts to), as well as view what Discord account a user is linked to.

This is mostly because I am creating a wiki and the community is primarily based on the Discord server, so I feel like it would be best for vandalism purposes, etc, to be able to have that function.

If anyone knows of anything like this, please reply :)

== Interwiki links get lost in Vector 2022 ==

Dear ∀,

When we recently switched the default design in one of our wikis to Vector 2022, interwikilinks stopped to appear, comp.

https://wiki3.railml.org/wiki/Main_Page

(at least I cannot find them, c.q. not where they are in the English Wikipedia)

If I return to Vector 2010 [https://wiki3.railml.org/index.php?title=Special:Preferences&useskin=vector&wprov=vctw1#mw-prefsection-rendering-skin], the interwikil ink is there.

Is there a special setting required?

We want the video should be visible in mediawiki, should not be downlodabe by user.

== Transclusion does not work for table content? ==

I have 3 pages:

- Overview page

- Detail page A

- Detail page B

I have tables on pages A and B and mark 1 row with "onlyinclude" - right after the table header and before the table end line.

I have the same table on the overview page. Right after the table header, I transclude {{:pageA}} and {{:pageB}}.

The result is an overview page with a table containing the rows from those 2 pages.

BUT. The content of the overview page does not render again after a change to page A or page B. I have to do a null edit or add ?action=purge to the URL, which causes a confirmation page to occur. 

Why is that? A bug?

For many extension, there is a link using [[Template:Extension]] to browse the repository. Using [[git:mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor|Visual editor for Wikitext documents]].

On my wiki user John Doe exists. When importing with <code>php importDump.php /dump.xml</code> all revsions are accounted to "imported>John Doe" which link to the local user account John Doe.

== Seemingly missing content after upgrading (exists in DB) ==

I have upgraded quite old Mediawiki installation (since 2007), which has some custom extensions, but nothing too wild (mainly custom accesscontrol). Since then, the wiki shows on all pages (except special pages): <code>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.</code>

I can see last modified pages in Special:RecentChanges, however seeing the page or the diff returns an error (page as described above, diff claims the revision doesn't exist)

The content is in the DB, as this query
<code>SELECT page_id, page_namespace, page_title, page_latest "rev_id", old_text "text"    FROM page    INNER JOIN slots on page_latest = slot_revision_id    INNER JOIN slot_roles on
slot_role_id = role_id and role_name = 'main'    INNER JOIN content on slot_content_id = content_id inner join text on substring( content_address, 4 ) = old_id and left( content_address, 3 ) = "tt:"
and old_flags = "utf-8" WHERE page_id=1;
</code>

returns a correct result (1 row with expected content). The supposedly missing revisions are also to be found in the database (in revision table)

The upgrade (it was actually move to a different server) was done from:
{| class="wikitable"

All files were copied, then overwritten by new version and <code>update.php</code> was launched. I have dealt with some problems with actor migration (I believe there are some historically deleted users), which was dealt with by adding some rows:

<code>INSERT INTO actor (actor_user, actor_name) VALUES (234, 'Unknown2023-1');
</code>

Also there was one issue with an archived revision, which I solved with this query

<code>UPDATE archive SET ar_title="Test" WHERE ar_id=141;</code>

I even tried to re-run <code>update.php</code> with <code>--force</code> but to no avail. Disabling extensions proves no effect.

I am at a loss. The data is clearly there, yet Mediawiki insists it is missing. How can I investigate further?

== Import XML without sha1 check? ==

Hallo, I'd be thankful for some advice.

I have to migrate an encyclopedia (>4000 items) from a very historic website to MediaWiki. There is no problem to generate output/input file with the XML structure. The only problem makes the sha1 clause:

<code><text bytes="1234" sha1="31-ascii-chars-sha1">A long text fully converted to MediaWiki-style code.</text> <sha1>31-ascii-chars-sha1</sha1></code> 

In a former [[Project:Support desk/Flow/2015/07#h-[RESOLVED]_Editing_exported_xml_files_(wiki-pages)_and_importing_them_into_other-2015-07-20T08:50:00.000Z|| post at this desk]] (8 yr ago) I read that "The bytes and sha1 data is informative, and can be used to check integrity, but they aren't currently used on imports." It seems not be valid in current version (1.39.1). If I try to import a XML file without bytes and sha1 clauses, the very short items (up to 2 lines of text) are fully imported, by longer items only the page title is imported, not the text. 

Is there a possibilty to turn the "bytes" and "sha1" checks off? At least for a one-time import?

Thank you! [[User:Nyctal|Nyctal]] ([[User talk:Nyctal|talk]]) 15:54, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
:That strongly suggests your dump file is corrupted, and you probably should figure out what is wrong with it in case it causes further problems (like was it reencoded or something).
:If you really need to though, you will probably have to regenerate the base36 sha1 hash and replace them. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] ([[User talk:Bawolff|talk]]) 01:34, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

== Warning: XMLReader::open(): Unable to open source data ==

When importing an XML dump with <code>php importDump.php /dump.xml</code> I am getting the following warnings:
<pre>
Warning: XMLReader::open(): Unable to open source data in /../w/vendor/wikimedia/xmp-reader/src/Reader.php on line 577

All revisions appear to have been imported, however I am wondering is somehting is going terribly wrong at my end unnoticed by me.

I am on MW 1.39.1 on PHP 7.4 2003:F1:C707:5E00:521E:59CA:6576:8DB8 (talk) 22:08, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

That error is related to file uploads. It might indicate that file metadata was not extracted properly. Bawolff (talk) 01:31, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the hint. Now I dumped the wiki with <code>dumpBackup.php --full --include-files --uploads > dump.xml</code> instead of just doing <code>dumpBackup.php --full > dump.xml</code> and on import the number of these warnings went down from around 30 to 5. Stil not all of them are gone and I have to note that this wiki does not have files uploaded to it. Just uses commons and a different file repo. To cut it short: My "issue" is not completely resolved but it was minimized. 2003:F1:C707:5E00:AEE9:1913:D6DE:6E8E (talk) 20:40, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

$wgNamespaceAliases does not work

I tried to add the following code to my wiki,

$wgNamespaceAliases = [

'Gates' => 3138,

'Gates_talk' => 31389

];

$wgNamespaceAliases = [

'GATES' => 3138,

'GATES_TALK' => 3139

];

I tried adding individual namespace alias', and all they did was crash my wiki.

I tried typing the name of the namespace out, and all it did was crash my wiki.

Neither one of the top pieces of code redirected the old name to the new name.

Short URLs not working as expected - index.php still visible

Hi all,

I've just finished upgrading an old Mediawiki install from v. 1.32 to 1.39.1 (latest) and I finally got that to work, but I cannot get neither $wgArticlePath or hiding index.php from Mediawikis URLs to work properly...

I have my Mediawiki files in the Document Root ($wgScriptPath = "";) and my $wqArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; - but, no matter what I set as my $wgArticlePath, it's being ignored....?title= is removed, but index.php/TITLE remains...

$wgScriptPath = ""; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; $wgUsePathInfo = true;

My Apache setup utilizes the following RewriteRules:

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/rest\.php RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/index.php [L]

The most annoying bit is that I had it all to work with the old version 1.32, but ever since upgrading it doesn't seem to work al all... Where might I be going wrong about this?

Best regards,

Søren Grønning Sgiv-sdu.dk (talk) 13:07, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

I dont know if this is your issue, but the syntax should be

$wgArticlePath = '/wiki/$1';

E.g. using ' not " Bawolff (talk) 17:45, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for chiming in - according to the manual for short URLs, this doesn't matter, though...

Have a look at this page from the documentation (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache): At the bottom, there's mentions of both $wgArticlePath and $wgScriptPath being put in double quotes.

Moreover, in PHP as in many other instances, single quotes handle quotes literally and do not interpret escaped characters, where as double quotes do. Double quotes are 'softer' in this sense and less literal.

Therefore, I suspect something else is playing tricks on me :) Sgiv-sdu.dk (talk) 06:46, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Oh, i guess it doesn't matter because $1 isn't a valid variable name in php, so it never gets interopolated regardless of the quotes.

Anyways, its critical in this instance that $1 is treated literally, but you get that either way. Apologies for saying the wrong thing and any confusion that may have caused. Bawolff (talk) 08:38, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

I would suggest checking Special:version which should list path variables so you can see if something is overriding it.

Check also you dont have the same variable specified a second time in LocalSettings.php or anything like that. Check also you are editing the correct file, and haven't accidentally commented out the line

I definitely think it is more likely a LocalSettings.php issue and not rewrite rules. What you describe (/index.php/page_name) is the default behaviour if $wgArticlePath is not set Bawolff (talk) 08:43, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the help and suggestions!

I'm much inclined to say that it must be something concerning the LocalSettings.php file and the $wgArticlePath, which seems to get screwed up - although I'm not yet sure what might prevent it from working...

I'll be looking into the php.ini file to see if there's anything there affecting my paths, that might also play tricks on Mediawiki's $wgArticlePath ... Sgiv-sdu.dk (talk) 07:59, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

On going over my LocalSettings.php, I discovered a totally lame error on my part - I'd accidentally misspelled my $wgArticlePath as $wqArticlePath, which - of course - makes a difference....

Thanks again, Bawolff :) Sgiv-sdu.dk (talk) 08:38, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

how to normal the contribution score of media wiki

hi all,

we run our media wiki for our employees.

we request them to contribute for completion.

we install the contribution score extension but the score isn't fair.

how can I normal that score?

is there any idea?

500 error upon installing Scribunto

I'm running a Mediawiki server on the Bitnami stack, and every time I try to install Scribunto, I get an HTTP 500 error that does not perform any kind of php logging (even though i'm fairly sure the problem is the php). I've tried to get some read on the error messages, but it doesn't show up in the apache2 error logs no matter what I try. Help would be appreciated :) Theleekycauldron (talk) 09:57, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

fixed, after much fuckery! If anyone finds themselves in the same position, my tips:

1. If Mediawiki asks you set a new temp directory, don't do that!
2. Instead, download the lua binary that comes with Linux and set the path to that. Theleekycauldron (talk) 10:27, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Btw, if you are already downloading stuff, and using debian/ubuntu consider apt install php-luasandbox it will be faster than lua binary. Bawolff (talk) 22:57, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

lua 5.3 apparently deprecates a "loadstring" variable Scribunto relies on? backtracking to 5.1... Theleekycauldron (talk) 10:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

How to print the username of the original author of a page?

We have a MediaWiki website in which registered users can publish opinion articles.

At the start of each opinion article there is a template indicating "This opinion article was written by USERNAME".

Right now, it shows {{{1}}} instead of USERNAME.

How to fix this? 2001:44C8:4179:6920:F17A:3CA6:DCB2:FC49 (talk) 04:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

It's possible to get the author of the latest revision, via the {{REVISIONUSER}} parser function, but I don't know if there's any way to get the first author. I'd suggest it'd be better to have this be provided to the template anyway, so that there is some control over who is listed as the author (which it sounds like your template is expecting anyway, as the first parameter). Sam Wilson 06:50, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

There are some extensions that do this. I think extension:MyVariables does Bawolff (talk) 12:29, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Wiki editing help

Hello, is it possible to have a hyperlink to an external page and in the future remove that link and it removes it for every page that has it available.

Example:

• Pages 1-5 have a hyperlink to Google.com

• We want to remove Google.com from a singular place and have it be removed from pages 1-5 without individually going to each page.

Is something like this possible? I figured we could template each one, but is there a different way so we don't have 100s of different pages. More so, is it possible to keep it condensed to a single page? 199.21.198.113 (talk) 18:40, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Watchlist

wikimedia:

"According to the relevant preferences, changes to pages you watch may also be notified to you by email. The main preference for this is "Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist is changed".

Magic words

Are there any "magic words" for the "Words in all content pages", like in the statistics, to display it elsewhere?" 2003:C5:FF11:8F62:18CA:2DA7:E458:2D54 (talk) 06:22, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

No, that is not available as a magic word. Bawolff (talk) 11:08, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

credentials cannot be found

I can no longer log in to my main, non-wikisysop account. I get an error saying that my credentials cannot be verified. ( I don't know what that means.) I can still use the account by logging into wikisysop and using Sudo to jump into it. When I tried to assign it a new password etc., it said "credentials could not be found", it sounds like a database problem to me, and I don't mind going into SQL and manually rebuilding it, if I know where to look. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

UPDATE: I am now unable to log into my account at all, not even via Sudo.

You can try changing passwords with the Manual:changePassword.php maintenance script. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:00, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Under 'users and rights', "edit account" which I believes accesses that script, produces a "credentials cannot be found" error, as if the User has been deleted or something, as if there is no password to change. -𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡💀 17:55, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

No, the script must be run from the command line on the server. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 18:58, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Done. That username, "Archangel", crashes it. Testing with 2 of my other alts does not. It changed those successfully. This leads me to even more firmly think that this is a corrupted database issue. If I knew where to look, I am certain that I can manually repair whatever damage is there. -𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡💀 23:52, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Be sure you have not enabled any (external) authentication extension, because the user may be linked to that external auth, which would prevent you from changing its password. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:44, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

I don't think I have anything like that. The user is (was) an alt I use for most of the social-type stuff on the wiki, while I use the wikisysop account for the techie stuff. I don't have anything external, as far as I am aware. Not even sure how to check for it. This happened to the account once before, and I had to re-create it as a new account, and remake the sig and user page etc, all over again. I would rather not do that a second time if I can help it. -𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡💀 07:16, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Really, I'm pretty sure its data corruption. If I knew where to look in the database, I can probably repair it, or at least rule out the possibility of data corruption. -𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡💀 22:24, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Please include the exact text of the error message.

Based on your description so far, it does not sound like database corruption so much as an extension overriding mediawiki's authentication procedures and then failing, but hard to know without knowing the exact error message and what AuthManager extensions are installed.

Another possibility is that the username is a reserved username, and hence logging in with it is disallowed. Archangel normally would not be reserved, but extensions can add to the reserved list and some pages in mediawiki namespace can make a name be reserved. Bawolff (talk) 00:45, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

I will do this today. Thank you! -𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡💀 16:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

"The supplied credentials could not be authenticated." -𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡💀 21:05, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

generally this means that either the primary mediawiki auth mechanism was marked non authoratative (some extensions do this) or the username is reserved and not allowed to be used for login. Bawolff (talk) 11:04, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Ok, thanks so much! I scrubbed my wiki of unneeded extensions and changed the username. Hopefully, that will do the trick, thanks again. -𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡💀 21:52, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Is it possible for non-admin users to create a StructuredDiscussions page

Hi :)

I have the StructuredDiscussions extension installed in my wiki and right now it is possible to create a discussion board through a link in Special pages. Since this is only visible to users with admin rights - is there a way to make it accessible to regular users?

Kind regards Shaker0351 (talk) 13:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Probaby with manual:$wgGroupPermissions but k dont know the permission name. Bawolff (talk) 17:24, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Shaker0351: Assigning flow-create-board to the user group should allow all registered users to create StructuredDiscussions boards via Special:EnableStructuredDiscussions. See extension.json.

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['flow-create-board'] = true;

in your LocalSettings.php should do it. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:26, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Cannot apply Stylesheets - Error code 500 - TypeError: strpos(): Argument #1 ($haystack) must be of type string, array given

Hi,

My organisation has a project that generates just a Wiki Page that people can contribute to.

This was working about 3 months ago on PHP 7 and MW 1.38 (stable at that time) in a Docker container that runs in our internal-dev Kubernetes cluster. The skin used is Tweeki.

On upgrading the project to PHP 8.1 and MW 1.39.1, a number of errors cropped up, but mostly had to do with outdated or deprecated extensions. I've resolved all of them, however, the stylesheet and Tweeki skin do not seem to get applied.

On debugging the project and doing a F12 inspect, the Console error shows the following error:

"Refused to apply style from 'https://<Internal-dev-URL-masked>/load.php?lang=en-gb&modules=ext.flaggedRevs.basic%2Cicons%7Cmediawiki.widgets.styles%7Coojs-ui-core.icons%2Cstyles%7Coojs-ui.styles.indicators%7Cskins.tweeki.awesome.styles%7Cskins.tweeki.externallinks.styles%7Cskins.tweeki.mediawiki.styles%7Cskins.tweeki.styles&only=styles&skin=tweeki' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled."

On clicking the link, the following debugging error is displayed:

[049916d27f36806026c322db] /load.php?lang=en-gb&modules=ext.flaggedRevs.basic%2Cicons%7Cmediawiki.widgets.styles%7Coojs-ui-core.icons%2Cstyles%7Coojs-ui.styles.indicators%7Cskins.tweeki.awesome.styles%7Cskins.tweeki.externallinks.styles%7Cskins.tweeki.mediawiki.styles%7Cskins.tweeki.styles&only=styles&skin=tweeki TypeError: strpos(): Argument #1 ($haystack) must be of type string, array given Backtrace: from /var/www/html/includes/OutputPage.php(4228)

9. 8 /var/www/html/load.php(39): wfLoadMain()
10. 9 {main}

Thinking that this could be a problem with the Tweeki skin, I switched it to MonoBook or Vector, but both skins seems to produce this error. I'm even using Bootstrap 4.6.0, which is required by Tweeki to apply its skin and there has been no change in the Apache configuration settings between PhP 7 and the upgraded PhP 8.1.

Would really love some help as I've been stuck with this error for about a week. :) Tarunjoseph93 (talk) 14:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

What is the value of $wgLogos in LocalSettings.php ? Bawolff (talk) 17:18, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

$wgLogo = [ '1x' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/logo.png" ];

I just have one logo in my project. Tarunjoseph93 (talk) 10:34, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

that is the syntax for $wgLogos with an s, $wgLogo without an s uses different syntax. Bawolff (talk) 12:37, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, it seems to have solved the error.

Scoured the depths of the internet for almost 2 weeks and stuck with the same error, only to find out that the function itself is a plural word now, rather than singular. Unbelievable. Tarunjoseph93 (talk) 15:09, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

i have the namespace module defined with Module:Graph lua code inside. Any ideas? 93.188.143.1 (talk) 15:27, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

What parameters are you invoking it with. Are you sure the x values are being specified? Bawolff (talk) 17:22, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

I've made a Template that calls the Module: Graph wich looks like this:

{{#invoke:Graph|chart}}

and then on any other text page, i call it like this:

{{Graph:Chart|width=600|height=100|xAxisTitle=X|yAxisTitle=Y

|type=rect|x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8|y=10,12,6,14,2,10,7,9}} 93.188.143.1 (talk) 10:36, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

its working if i call it like this on the template:

Template loop that I can’t fix.

I am trying to add a template for dams for my wiki but every single time I try to fix it it won’t work. I think this code is somewhat broken but I don’t even know.

^{{dams

  | Title2=Example

 

  | Image1=Example

 

  | Caption1=Example

 

  | Built=Example

 

  | Cost=Example

 

  | Destroyed=Example

 

  | Countrys Owner=Example

 

  | Company Who Owns It=Example

 

  | Expenses=Example

 

  | Energy Produced=Example

 }}

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. My wiki just moved from fandom so maybe I’m using fandom code but idk AMaxIdoit (talk) 18:38, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

What is the deal with thumb handler?

Use thumb_handler.php rather than thumb.php to set up the thumb handler.

On manual Manual:Thumb handler.php I am told to add:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/[0-9a-f]/[^/]+/[^/]+$ /w/thumb_handler.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/archive/[0-9a-f]/[^/]+/[^/]+$ /w/thumb_handler.php [L,QSA]

Apart from the Apache voodoo. Here the handler goes via thumb_handler.php.

The online wizard accessible via Manual:Short_URL/Apache#Online_Wizard tells me to add

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2 [L,QSA,B]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/archive/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2&archived=1 [L,QSA,B]

Apart from the Apache voodoo. Here the handler goes via thumb.php.

Both files are in the script path. Which version is correct? Probably the wizard version or both? 2003:F1:C70E:6600:630D:4D5:7627:FA99 (talk) 23:42, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

thumb_handler.php is better. The thumb.php version wont work for certain file types. thumb_handler.php is newer than thumb.php although both have been around for a very long time at thus point. Bawolff (talk) 07:31, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the info! Good to know I think. 2003:F1:C70E:6600:463:E9E6:59CC:4DF2 (talk) 09:52, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Note that, after setting up the rewrite rules, you will also have to set in your "LocalSettings.php" file:

$wgThumbnailScriptPath = "$wgScriptPath/thumb_handler.php";
$wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse = false;

[[kgh]] (talk) 10:47, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

I dont think you should set $wgThumbnailScriptPath if using rewrite rules - im pretty sure it only works with thumb.php and is less efficient than the rewrite rule version.

The $wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse setting something you should set . Bawolff (talk) 12:08, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I would have guessed that $wgThumbnailScriptPath is dedicated to thumbnailing no matter which handler is used. Oopsie. :) [[kgh]] (talk) 12:19, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

migration issues

hi guys

A long time ago, I Have migrated my mediaWiki page.

It used to be in a subdirectory on another domain. I have followed the mediaWiki migration guide. Weeks later, I still have issues with old links that do not exist anymore.

I have tried rebuildall.php - it resolved some issue like missing images.

It also screwed category indexes...they are all empty now.

I used to have hardlinks as a kludge, due to intermittent issues.

https://eh.hajes.org/Category:ecu

Now written according to wiki coding.

:Category:ecu

Both leads to an empty page, which used to be an index with alphabetic order.

Any suggestions, what went wrong, please? Haj3s29a (talk) 11:24, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

During the article creation/modification/deletion, mediawiki hangs on loading

Hello, everyone! While I'm trying to create, modify (by Wikieditor) or delete article, mediawiki freezes on infinite loading and then times out the connection. However, when I'm editing any article with VisualEditor, an edit performs successfully. I've tried to check access.log and error.log in /var/log/apache2, but it seems that there is no error logged. There isn't even POST request with &action=submit link logged in access.log, so it seems that the request is not even registered by apache? I've also checked mysql error logs, tried to debug the page from Manual:How_to_debug, tried to add chmod on all mediawiki files, tried other ways to debug PHP and even checked the /var/log/syslog - also, nothing is being registered there. Maybe you guys have some idea how can I resolve this problem? I even tried to reinstall the wiki and update it from 1.32 to 1.39.2 version - the problem was also there and is still happening.

Please help me with that, as I'm struggling with this one for about one month.

Installed software:

Mediawiki: 1.39.2

Are you using the correct version of your extension for your version of mediawiki. Bawolff (talk) 11:37, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Are there any extensions on mediawiki that require a verification code to register?

My wiki is special. It is a wiki for relay novels.I need an extension that allows members to write applications. Members can submit the applications to the administrator for review after they have written them. Only after the administrator has approved them can they obtain membership.

Is there a extension that can implement this function? Thanks:) Zero-zoner (talk) 02:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Cascading protection of pages within the category

Hi, doesn't the cascade protection of the pages that are in a category, for example, category: new pages, protect the pages in this category? Mahdi Alavi nasab (talk) 03:51, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

No, since that would let anyone protect any page which is not wanted. Taavi (talk!) 19:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

syntax highlighting is operational despite of warning message

Hi all, when opening a long page for edition -> https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Upgrading&action=edit , syntax highlighting works on the complete file in the window but with following message:

Syntax highlighting on this page was disabled because it took too long. The maximum allowed highlighting time is 20ms, and your computer took 33ms. 

In this case the message is useless because work is done and should be removed or timing was wrong evaluated. What to understand ? Thanks.

syntax highlighting : view the text blocks ?

Hi all. Is it possible to request a feature which would stop syntax highlighting process at the very first step where text appears on the screen with red/yellow background transitional blocks ? As a translator admin, if i can isolate the text blocks visually, it is easier for me to set the translation tags. A button/tab on client side (JS ?) would be appreciated. Thanks.

Upgrade 1.31. to 1.39.2, php version?

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.

---

MW 1.31 supports up to php 7.3+ whereas MW 1.39 minimum version support is php 7.4.3. How does one go about upgrading in one step (I am guessing this is safe given that https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326071 was resolved with 1.39.2)? Has anyone done this in one step without issues? Spiros71 (talk) 10:17, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're question is?

See Upgrading for generic info on how to upgrade. I encourage you to make a backup first just in case. Bawolff (talk) 16:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

What php version should be used for the above upgrade? Spiros71 (talk) 18:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

You should use a PHP version that is supported by the version of MediaWiki that is running at that time. Likely this means that you will have to upgrade PHP at the same time you upgrade MediaWiki. Taavi (talk!) 19:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

I imagine php 7.4.3+ will work with both MW 1.39 and MW1.31.

MW 1.31 has a minimum requirement of 7.3, it should not be taken as saying it is incompatible with 7.4.3 (It is incompatible with 8 though) Bawolff (talk) 20:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, indeed, MW 1.31 appears to work with 7.4.33. Spiros71 (talk) 11:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

I think you would just get the new files ready, upgrade php, swap the directories and run update.php. Jonathan3 (talk) 22:14, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

[Resolved] Error: Call to undefined function

Hello,

I've added HTTPS support to my server, and now mediawiki reports "Error: Call to undefined function" for several functions, depending on what page I'm trying to open.

The main page has an issue with MediaWiki\Extension\Scribunto\Engines\LuaStandalone\shell_exec()

The Special:Version page has an issue with curl_exec()

I have made changes to the php.ini to try and remedy this:

I commented out open_basedir

I've removed "exec" from disable_functions = passthru,shell_exec,system,popen,curl_exec,curl_multi_exec,parse_ini_file,show_source...

I even removed curl_exec() as it is mentioned when trying to open special:version, but no change.

I think I upgraded to the latest version (1.39.2), but I can't find any evidence for that. Techcare.noc (talk) 13:00, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Are you sure you are editing the correct php.ini file? Often there are several php.ini files on a system. Bawolff (talk) 14:50, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Oddly enough, when I do

$ sudo find / -name 'php.ini'

I only get the one result: /etc/php.ini

I'd gladly try another one if I had one... Techcare.noc (talk) 15:21, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

I disable the Scribunto extention, and the errors disappear.

The page still has a some kind of error, but it's less visible.

Do I continue troubleshooting with Scribunto? Techcare.noc (talk) 15:47, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Depends. Do you want to use scribunto? If yes, then yes, if no then no.

Scribunto does require having shell_exec (except if you are using php-luasandbox). Its not the only mediawiki thing that does, although most of mediawiki will work without it.

> I only get the one result: /etc/php.ini

Create a file in your web directory called info.php containing only:

<?php phpinfo();

Then view it in your web browser. This should show all of PHP's current configuration, including which ini files are used and what the disable_functions are (Usually under the header "Core"). Check to see if shell_exec is on the list of disable_functions or not. Bawolff (talk) 16:16, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Good morning,

I already had this file, although I renamed it.

Moved it to the main directory, and found the following:

Loaded Configuration File	/etc/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files	/etc/php.d

Under "Core" I find a very confusing entry.

disable_functions

exec,passthru,shell_exec,system,popen,curl_exec,curl_multi_exec,parse_ini_file,show_source

exec,passthru,shell_exec,system,popen,curl_exec,curl_multi_exec,parse_ini_file,show_source

First of all I don't understand where this "local value" and "master value" come from.

Consequently I do not understand why the "local value" and the "master value" both still have "exec", "shell_exec" ánd "curl_exec" in them, when the only php.ini file I find on the whole system (using the command sudo find / -name 'php.ini') has the following for "disable_functions":

disable_functions = passthru,system,popen,curl_multi_exec,parse_ini_file,show_source

This is very confusing. Techcare.noc (talk) 08:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

So based on what you posted, you can also have config files not named php.ini. any file regardless of name that is is /etc/php.d/ is also a config file.

Also try restarting your webserver,i dont think php picks up config changes automatically without a restart.

Master value is the value from php.ini. local is run-time config. Just worry about master for now. Bawolff (talk) 11:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

None of the .ini files in /etc/php.d contain "disable_functions", so I don't think the functions are enabled somewhere else.

Every time I change the php.ini I restarted the server to be sure.

Current status when I restart the webserver:

When I comment out scribunto in LocalSettings.php, I seem to get a working website, apart from {{safesubst:#invoke:time|time|*}} messages...

You can try to reinstall the server software 维基佛祖 (talk) 11:02, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Reinstalling is rarely a solution to a problem, except if you explicitly do wipe all existing configuration data (which often does not magically happen when "reinstalling"). Malyacko (talk) 11:26, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

I don't want to do that necessarily... Techcare.noc (talk) 15:43, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I suppose its possible that the disabled_function default was changed at compile time, although that would be pretty unusual. Bawolff (talk) 19:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

But please back up first. 维基佛祖 (talk) 11:02, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Obviously. Techcare.noc (talk) 15:43, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

The Issue is resolved.

The solution: set the correct SELinux context.

I looked at the Scribunto extension page Lua section.

This spoke of setting the correct rights on the Lua folder.

I checked the SELinux details, and found no context was available.

Now the Scribunto extension works, and other extentions that I had issues with previously, now also work without crashing the site.

Thank you for your support.

P.S.: Settings and database are backed up regularly. Techcare.noc (talk) 15:56, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

That's kind of surprising. The error message for an SELinux issue should be different. Regardless, glad to hear you got it working. Bawolff (talk) 20:54, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Show webp thumbnails as webp and not as png

I would like to serve (new) images as webp to my visitors.

If I tell MediaWiki to show a thumbnail of the image, ImageMagick unfortunately creates a png thumbnail instead of a webp thumbnail. My webhost said we can't tell ImageMagick to create webp by default.

Is there a MediaWiki setting to say that all thumbnails should be webp? Stefahn (talk) 14:52, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Not in mediawiki core.

Some people (wikipedia) do stuff outside of mediawiki to make this work. I'm not sure precisely, but i think some combination of varnish/swift/thumbor is used to look at accept headers and dynamically chose the format to use. Bawolff (talk) 16:21, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Is offline MediaWiki inaccessible to anyone?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.

I've been trying to download MediaWiki so that I can use a Wikipedia-style wiki for offline documentation (using the AMPPS software stack). Is it possible for me to do this fully offline (i.e. no other person can possibly access it)? Nythar (talk) 10:31, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, although this has more to do with how you configure your webserver (i.e. make sure the bind address is 127.0.0.1) Bawolff (talk) 10:58, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/mediawiki/vendor/wikimedia/shellbox/src/FileUtils.php on line 113

All pages with syntax highlight tags fail to load. AFAIK, It is not a permissions issue.

I managed to make everything work after the migration by installing all dependencies etc. But syntaxhilghligh doesnt work. I'm desperate to get this working.

Probably a permissions issue in your temp directory (If normal unix permissions are fine, check also things like selinux).

if /tmp is not usable, make sure you set $wgTmpDirectory to something writable. Bawolff (talk) 14:50, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Blank Website.

Dear All.

I am using Mediawiki 1.35.1 hosted by Strato.

The PHP version is 8.0

Database MySQL version 5.7

It has always run perfectly since installation.

The problem with my website is a blank start page.

The first time it took three days and then the website just came back.

Now it's happening again and it's been 5 days now.

The Errorlogs that Strato keeps for me show no errors.

I also downloaded the Logfiles over various time frames / day / week / month.

Strato directed me to "You see a blank page"

First I made a copy of my original LocalSettings.php

I then added the below lines as indicated to the LocalSetting.php

error_reporting( E_ALL );

ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

This gave no errors.

From the above page I can click through to "Manual:How to debug"

There, however, the instruction is slightly different.

error_reporting( -1 );

ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

See the difference in the top lines error_reporting( E_ALL ); / error_reporting( -1 );

Does this matter?

Even with the changed 1st line I don't get any errors.

Do you have an idea why I see a blank page?

Thanks in advance. A newbie. Nipperus (talk) 14:14, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

E_ALL and -1 should have the same affect.

Check your webserver/php error logs.

Is it only the main page? That would be kind of weird. Could be that it happens once and then gets cached somehow. Do you have any CDN/varnish caching setup? Bawolff (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

#Bawolff. webserver/ php error logs contains no errors, was already posted.

All pages contain the same problem.

No CDN/varnish caching Nipperus (talk) 15:52, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Are you sure you have the correct log file? Bawolff (talk) 11:07, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

There are two types of log files i can see and download.

This one just called Errorlogs ( only for the last 5 days possible )

Gives me this notification for the first time today.

PHP Deprecated:  Required parameter $rules follows optional parameter $value in /mnt/web018/b1/20/511036220/htdocs/STRATO-apps/mediawiki_01/app/vendor/wikimedia/less.php/lib/Less/Tree/Directive.php on line 20

The other I can look back up to six weeks and I have to unpack with a zipp program. Nipperus (talk) 12:17, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Deprecation warnings are safe to ignore, but the fact it is present suggests it is the correct error log for php.

Sometimes php and webserver share an error log, sometimes they are separate. If they are separate you should also try and find webserver error logs in case the error is on the webserver layer. Bawolff (talk) 12:35, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

The zip files I downloaded are abracadabra to me. I have downloaded them over various periods but I can't do anything with it. It looks like this:

error_reporting( E_ALL ); and error_reporting( -1 ); are equivalent. E_ALL is a PHP constant that means all possible errors, and -1 does the same.

Note that for those lines to work, the error should happen *after* those lines have been executed by PHP! For example, a syntax error after or before those lines will prevent those lines from execute, or a runtime error if it happens before those lines. Be sure you add them directly in index.php after the "<?php" line. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 14:53, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

They are at the correct position.

However in LocalSettings.php and not index.php. Nipperus (talk) 15:55, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

If you think the error is happening early in the process, set thee settings in php.ini Bawolff (talk) 11:06, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Now I get it also on vector-2022... is it a php version thing, should I forget php-8.2 and go with older php 8.1 or even 8.0?? Kroulingor (talk) 17:52, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm losing my sanity. I think I will NUKE and start over with older version of PHP such as 8.1, should I go back to 8.0? anyone has a suggestion?? this is FreeBSD where I installed it. Kroulingor (talk) 18:08, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

They are just deprecation warnings. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50602776/php-error-reporting-production-vs-development —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 19:17, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

how do we remove said warnings. thank you. Kroulingor (talk) 20:10, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

"Adjust error_reporting directive in your php.ini file." as detailed in the stackoverflow post —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 20:18, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

This is not the only file that controls debug output. php.ini is the primary file that controls this, however it can be overridden via the error_reporting reporting directive in LocalSettings.php (e.g. Set error_reporting( E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT );) Bawolff (talk) 20:21, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Browser incapatability

Hello,

Very inexperienced Mediawiki user here.

I did a recent site migration and now my mediawiki looks good on Firefox, but the tables are extra elongated in MS Edge and Chrome. I am using a SKIN

Is there a way to fix this?

Also, I want to add new pages to the navigation bar because certain things such as "Edit" and "Special Pages" are not on the navigation bar in this SKIN.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Steve Irvingwash (talk) 18:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Ummm... why did you type " Hel me please" ?

I'm the one aking for help here : ) Irvingwash (talk) 04:28, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

@Irvingwash: They're just being spammy; ignore em.

As for your issue: what skin are you using? And there's a possibility that your browser is caching the old version's CSS — try force refreshing and see if it helps.

For the navigation bar issues, you'll have to say what skin you're using I'm afraid. :-) Sam Wilson 05:12, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, Sam, for letting me know! I probably would have had a wonderful conversation with it : ) I assume it's a bot.

The SKIN is something a friend of mine made 8 years back.

The site is a site where my students upload their article summaries and I edit them for grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and fluidity. My students are NYC inner city school kids, so I appreciate this help. Here's the site:

Any assistance would be appreciated.

This seems to have to do with those long links pasted in each table cell. If you remove them, then Chrome-based browsers seem not to have a problem. Looks like Chrome-based browsers have a different concept of "word wrapping" than Firefox. (In general, the entire page does not look like a use case for a table, as the table columns do not contain any tabular data - what's the difference between the second and the third column?. Semantically speaking this should be a list and not a table, also for accessibility needs.)

If you want to change your skin you need to edit the code of your skin, and as it is a custom skin only you know the code... You can see a different skin (Vector) in action by adding the suffix "?useskin=vector" to your web address. Malyacko (talk) 09:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

jQuery UI Out of date Vulnerability - Pending for more than 2 years

We recently upgraded the app from Mediawiki 1.35.x to 1.39.1. There are outstanding vulnerabilities related to JQuery UI modules that exists after the upgrade. The security tool utilized for scanning is Invicti NetSparker. The Vulnerabilities reported are:

1. jQuery UI Tooltip and detected that it is out of date.
2. jQuery UI Autocomplete and detected that it is out of date.
3. jQuery UI Dialog and detected that it is out of date.

Is there a way to load the latest module of the jQueryUI module through ResourceLoader?

Considering these vulnerabilities are more than 700+ days old, need to determine a path forward utilizing the MW software before getting "Rejected" from Security.

Let me know if you need additional details.

Installed software

Product	Version
MediaWiki	1.39.1
PHP	7.4.33 (fpm-fcgi)
MySQL	5.7.38-log
ICU	50.2

Appreciate all your help on this question. Thanks Armfns001 (talk) 20:39, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

MediaWiki uses a patched version of jQuery UI with various bug fixes applied on top of the base version. Many of the vulnerabilities found on the upstream codebase also don't apply to MediaWiki because we either don't use those features or don't pass untrusted user input to them.

We don't have plans to upgrade given the effort required for relatively little gain, as jQuery UI is no longer maintained and our time is better spent moving entirely away from it.

Any vulnerabilities that are confirmed to affect MediaWiki can be reported using this process. Taavi (talk!) 21:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
