Increase hard limit of output from template
I am working on a project to translate a collection of over 5,000 songs into Spanish. To generate a list of all songs translated I am using the Special:PrefixIndex template as seen at: https://es.sarkarverse.org/wiki/Usuario:Abhidevananda/zona_de_pruebas
However this only generates the first 345 results. I need to see all of the results (currently over 2600). Is this possible... in this fashion or by some other means? Please note that I need the results as a single list on a single page, not stetching over multiple pages.
Thanks. Abhidevananda (talk) 05:04, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- You can do this by editing
$MaxPerPageonSpecialAllPages.php(currently set to 345). Note that you may run into other issues when changing it, such as timeouts. Leaderboard (talk) 06:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC) - The DPL extension might be a better option. Bawolff (talk) 06:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wow! @Leaderboard and @Bawolff Thank you so much for the quick and helpful replies. I will try the extension first and then - if I can't get that to work - editing the SpecialAllPages.php. Abhidevananda (talk) 09:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
502 Bad Gateway when accessing a particular page with any account logged in
This is weird.
I'm currently using MediaWiki 1.40.1+PHP 7.4.33+nginx 1.18.0. There's (so far I found) only one page on my wiki that behaves weird. If I access that page with my administrator account logged in, the page returns 502. The same happens for non-admin accounts.
The output in /var/log/nginx/access.log after I tried to access the page on my computer is as follows:
[01/Jul/2024:14:37:49 +0800] "GET <XXX> HTTP/1.1" 502 559 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
[01/Jul/2024:14:37:52 +0800] "GET /load.php?modules=skins.citizen.serviceWorker&only=scripts&raw=true&skin=citizen&version=akqj0 HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "/load.php?modules=skins.citizen.serviceWorker&only=scripts&raw=true&skin=citizen&version=akqj0" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
and there's no output about this wiki site in error.log.
If I log out of my account, the page is shown as usual with no data loss. The page content retrieved through curl in command line is also normal.
I searched through the Internet but found no clues. The sole related solution is mentioned in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67062607/nginx-returns-502-to-browsers-but-works-fine-with-curl and linked to a media wiki support desk topic which suggests setting $wgDisableOutputCompression to true. Unfortunately, no luck.
This problem is so weird to me. So I come here to seek for help. Subilan1234 (talk) 07:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- 502 usually means a timeout. You might have more info on nginx error log (instead of php error log)
- Sometimes different users might have different cachability, which might mean that logged out hits cache but admin does not and hits timeout.
- Is the contents of that page particularly complex. Bawolff (talk) 17:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, the content is long and complex to some extent. I'll check if there are other error logs present. Thanks. Subilan1234 (talk) 03:57, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Is this related to the use of Cloudflare? The error page suggests it's a host error, "The web server reported a bad gateway error", but there's no error logged in nginx error log (
/var/log/nginx/error.log) and PHP error log(/var/log/php7.4-fpm.log). I can't find any. - Interestingly when I added
error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );to LocalSettings.php, the page becomes accessible at once (Why?), with some extra lines displayed. - Notice: Array to string conversion in extensions/VisualEditor/includes/Hooks.php on line 889
- (repeated, about 50 lines)
- Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at extensions/VisualEditor/includes/Hooks.php:889) in includes/Request/WebResponse.php on line 80

- Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at extensions/VisualEditor/includes/Hooks.php:889) in includes/Request/WebResponse.php on line 80
- I think none of these warnings are of any use or related. If I remove the two lines from LocalSettings.php, the page returns 502 on refresh right away.
- There must be something wrong but is there any way to see the error directly? The error seemed invisible now as both nginx error log and php error log show no clue and turning on error_reporting in LocalSettings.php also gives no useful information. Subilan1234 (talk) 04:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Increase limit on list of articles (per Category page)
On my project, I have a category that currently includes 3262 articles. When I go to that Category page, I can only view 200 articles at a time. I would like to see all 3262 articles listed on a single page (without having to navigate from page to page, 200 results at a time). I need to allow for an output of 6000 results on any Category page. How can I make that possible? For reference, please see https://sarkarverse.org/wiki/Category:Songs_of_Prabhat_Samgiita

Automated way to add a Category to all pages in Namespace "Main"
Hi again. I have a wiki with close to 3000 articles in Namespace Main. Now I need to add a Category (the same category) to all of those articles (with only a few exceptions). I am looking for an automated way to do this, maybe a regex in Special:ReplaceText (or possibly in some other extension). I have researched this but could not find specific instructions. If this can be done, what would the regex(s) be... presumably in two parts (one for the Search string and the other for the Replace string? Thanks. Abhidevananda (talk) 05:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser would be useful, but i dont know if it can be used outside wikipedia. Bawolff (talk) 00:12, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Bawolff. Just found the answer through AI.
Search for: (.+)$Replace with: $1\n- Here’s a breakdown of what these expressions do:
(.+)$: This matches the entire content of the page.$1\n: This appends the category tag to the end of the content.- Make sure to replace YourCategoryName with the actual name of the category you want to add. (Sorry, I had trouble typing all of the Replace string. Immediately after the $1\n must come two opening square brackets, then Category:YourCategoryName followed by two closing square brackets.)
- I also found that for such a large number of results in the ReplaceText extension I had to extend the result limits from the default 250 to a much higher number. But the instructions for doing this (adding a line in LocalSettings) were explained in the ReplaceText extension doc.
- Appreciate all your help. Abhidevananda (talk) 03:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
LDAP Login
Dear Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am facing a challenge in setting up LDAP login in my MediaWiki version 1.41 and am in need of urgent assistance.
Specifically, I am looking for someone experienced in configuring and setting up LDAP login in MediaWiki. I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance you can provide.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have the necessary expertise or know someone who might be able to assist me.
Thank you in advance! 141.88.235.198 (talk) 09:31, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Have you checked out documentation at LDAP hub? If you get stuck, I can probably support you. Osnard (talk) 09:43, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Dear Support Team,
- I hope this message reaches you safely. I would like to inform you that I have looked at the instructions in LDAP HUB. Therefore, I would like to use the following configuration to manage LDAP authentication and authorization:
Extension: LDAPProviderExtension: LDAPAuthorization- I use the configuration in
LocalSettings.php. $LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider = function() {$config = ["akg.lan" => ["connection" => ["server" => "ldap://akg-dc-01","user" => "CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=AKG,DC=LAN","pass" => "testtestt","basedn" => "DC=AKG,DC=LAN","groupbasedn" => "DC=AKG,DC=LAN","userbasedn" => "DC=AKG,DC=LAN","searchattribute" => "samaccountname","searchstring" => "Administrator@akg.lan", // Replace USER-NAME with actual username"usernameattribute" => "samaccountname","realnameattribute" => "cn","emailattribute" => "mail","grouprequest" => "MediaWiki\\Extension\\LDAPProvider\\UserGroupsRequest\\GroupMember::factory"],"authorization" => ["rules" => ["groups" => ["required" => [ "CN=Mediawiki,OU=Groups,DC=AKG,DC=LAN" ] // Adjust group DN as needed]]],"groupsync" => ["mechanism" => "mappedgroups","mapping" => ["sysop" => "CN=Projektmanagement,OU=Groups,DC=AKG,DC=LAN", // Map sysop and bureaucrat groups"bureaucrat" => "CN=Mediawiki,OU=Groups,DC=AKG,DC=LAN"]],"userinfo" => ["email" => "mail","realname" => "cn",// Add additional user info mappings as needed]]];return new \MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\DomainConfigProvider\InlinePHPArray($config);};- Then i run this comands:
php maintenance/update.php --quickphp maintenance/rebuildLocalisationCache.php- Then when i Try to login on mediawiki i see this:
- "The credentials provided could not be verified."
- Could you please provide guidance or assistance regarding the setup of LDAPProvider and LDAPAuthorization for this purpose? Any documentation or step-by-step instructions you can share would be greatly appreciated.
- Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
- Best regards, 141.88.235.198 (talk) 12:03, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Please wire debug logs and then try to use the CLI script
php extensions/LDAPProvider/maintenance/CheckLogin.php --domain=akg.lan --username=<someusername>to test the login. Share a redacted version (may contain sensitive data) of the debug logs here. Osnard (talk) 06:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
What's the situation with Structured Discussions?
I wonder what extensions are recommended atm if you need comments or a forum.
On Structured Discussions I read that the project ended in November 2023 and everyone is advised to archive their discussion (what the?). Is there a follow-up? On the other hand this very support desk uses exactly this?
What should I use if I start a wiki nowaydays and want future-proof comments under article pages instead of talk pages?
- Extension:Comments looks very old.
- What will mediawiki.org use? Subfader (talk) 10:17, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Structured discussion is dead, I wouldn't use it. I'd argue it is impossible to maintain for 3rd parties, with a lot of exceptions and interventions that differ from how we do things in MW.
- Everything Wikimedia will eventually switch to using DiscussionTools. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 11:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Let's hope this will be supported longer than Flow. Subfader (talk) 11:53, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have a much better feeling about discussion tools than flow. Its already been fairly well recieved by the community, where flow was controversial right out of the gate. I think it has staying power (just my 2 cents, i dont have access to a crystal ball any more than anybody else) Bawolff (talk) 00:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Subfader: Out of general curiosity, exactly what is the problem with Comments? As the maintainer and primary developer of it since 2011, I'd be curious to know. :) Its User Interface is pretty stable and definitely not using the latest fancy design things, but it gets the job done. (I'll admit, though, that OOUI did end up lasting for several years longer than it did, but that, too, is being phased out and I'm sure that the successor will also be sunset in favor of a newer, shinier gadget, give it some time. Not using these sort of frameworks comes with the unexpected benefit of your code working regardless, if you can tolerate a somewhat "dated" looking UI.)
- For the record: the initial version was written circa 2006 (!) and as it (like other social tools originating from ArmchairGM which enable new content types, like Extension:FanBoxes, Extension:LinkFilter, Extension:Video, ...) predates MediaWiki's ContentHandler system by many years, it does things in a way which isn't ideal, yet it's surprisingly functional and shockingly robust (in my biased opinion), because even major core changes aren't likely to disrupt this little extension which does things in its own way.
- Some people argue that "no recent code commits" (or something similar) equals to a dead project. I largely disagree; while it may mean that the end-user should exercise a bit of caution and carefully test things etc., not all MediaWiki developers are huge fans of "move fast and break stuff", which, alas, seems to be all too common these days. Sure, it bumps up a repository's commit count a lot, but what for, and at what cost?
- Now, as for Comments' actual architectural shortcomings...while the comments are associated with a(n existing wiki) page, they are indeed in other ways separate, they are not regular wiki page content or anything. So implementing a history interface (phab:T156736) or the ability to undelete previously deleted comments (phab:T127595) is very tricky, to say the least, and I for one would be very surprised (but in a positive way!) to see those implemented before Comments turns 20 years old in 2026. Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:24, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, not old as outdated code but interface-wise. From the screenshots it looks like forum discussions from early 2000s.
- Do you know of sites that use it which you could link or mail me?
- In over 15 years I went from ArticleComments to some forum extension I forget and then Flow. Each time I was forced to throw away all old comments and posts. Not funny when you try to run a community. This timed I prefer some more LTS. Subfader (talk) 18:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- CSS wizards can probably suggest tweaks to the existing styles to make 'em more modern. I'm not enough of a CSS guru nor "modern" to know, though. :) The look hasn't bothered me and nobody's submitted a patch to improve things, so alas. As always, patches are more than welcome (but as a volunteer I cannot guarantee that they would definitely be tested/reviewed in a given time, or merged)!
- Comments is one of those social tools extensions which doesn't even require SocialProfile and it's a pretty popular, basic functionality, so I'd expect plenty of sites out there to use it. (If only WikiApiary was a bit more stable...) Here's an example page on Brickipedia, the LEGO encyclopedia hosted by ShoutWiki, which uses comments.
- Ah, ArticleComments...I remember that. It's been a while, eh? Out of sheer curiosity I did some digging, dug up the MW 1.20-compatible version and tried getting it working. It wasn't even that difficult, although it's still not working perfectly for me locally. The code somewhat shows its age, although admittedly its brilliance is that the "comments" are indeed just regular wiki edits on a regular wiki page. For example, the PostComment extension by wikiHow took a similar approach.
- Flow was always dead-on-arrival software, but the problem was that you couldn't say it out loud that the Emperor has no clothes. I'm sorry you ended up wasting your time with it. The WMF has a rather poor track record with discussion-related extensions, although Extension:DiscussionTools is doing better than Flow ever did and it has been more positively received by the various communities on WMF web properties.
- Migrations absolutely are horrible to do, and it's oftentimes just uncharted territory, and basically always so with MediaWiki extensions (e.g. "how do I migrate from extension X to Y or Z?"). There are various reasons as to why, but I think the main ones are technical complexity and a ridiculously small target audience, plus probably funding or the lack of thereof.
- Predicting the future is, of course, impossible. There are many reasons why some of the social tools are kinda horrible, as I explained in my earlier response; and yet, bizarrely enough, these same reasons might also be why they're surprisingly great (in my biased opinion, of course). Comments and others precede ContentHandler by several years, and while this has rather obvious drawbacks, it also means that these extensions have stayed surprisingly stable over the years (or decades, I should say, for a lot of them will be turning 20 years old in ~2-3 years (!)) by not relying on the standard MediaWiki way to do things. Whether this is or isn't something you want is a question only you (and your community) can answer.
- Also, I should point out that there are probably some other, likely even better commenting/discussion-related extensions. I just happen to be most familiar with the extension that I maintain. Jack Phoenix (Contact) 22:41, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Using Phonos with Top Icon
Hello! I post this here, because at Help_talk:Extension:Phonos has been suggested to use this page. I am trying to understand the possibilities to use Phonos in some creative ways. At en:Wikipedia:Spoken_articles we have a list of articles with spoken version (see, for example, en:2 Broadway. The project adds a Top Icon loudspeaker, which goes to the file itself when clicked, instead of being in the page (which may be better for people who wants to use the spoken version without leaving the page). I wonder if there would be a way to combine both things, and have the audio played directly when clicked the top icon. I could get the Phonos loudspeaker up there, but I don't know if there is a better option (like using the custom loudspeaker). Thanks! Theklan (talk) 15:13, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- It should be possible with e.g.
'"`UNIQ--indicator-0000000D-QINU`"'but it seems not to work because the click handler is only looking within #mw-content-text and the indicators area is outside that. We should probably also add the wikipage.indicators hook. I opened T369262. Sam Wilson 09:12, 4 July 2024 (UTC) - Thanks! Theklan (talk) 09:15, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- If your wiki is public, a link to it would be helpful. Bawolff (talk) 18:29, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. The icon after the link is always not displayed. And the link of the website is soka.cafe. It is a Chinese website. Kohana240 (talk) 14:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- soka.cafe is the link Kohana240 (talk) 14:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- The external link icon is supposed to be located at https://soka.cafe/skins/Timeless/resources/images/ext-link.svg - however i think the short url setup is intercepting the url and treating it as an article, preventing MediaWiki from loading the icon. What url MediaWiki uses for this is controlled by $wgStylePath.
- p.s. I love the customization of the Timeless skin, it is very pretty. Bawolff (talk) 23:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Maybe because of my terrible skill. But if I set the pseudo-static of the website, all pages can load corrctly. Only the link's svg can't display. Kohana240 (talk) 14:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Replacing site name with image
Hello, I'm looking on how to replace the site name with an image like how Wikipedia.org has the globe logo as site image and a WikipediA text logo in the place of the site name...

Links disappeared?
Hi,
On this Wiki there used to be several links for years. They are still in the code, but for reason have disappeared of the actual pages. Any idea how I can fix this?

$wgInterwikiCache not working in MW 1.42?
I recently updated my Mediawiki instance to v1.42, however I am now getting the error :
Deprecated: Use of InterwikiLoadPrefix hook (used in MediaWiki\Extension\Interwiki\Hooks::onInterwikiLoadPrefix) was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.36. [Called from MediaWiki\HookContainer\HookContainer::register in /var/www/vhosts/domain/mediawiki_1_42/w/includes/HookContainer/HookContainer.php at line 436] in /var/www/vhosts/domain/mediawiki_1_42/w/includes/debug/MWDebug.php on line 379.
And yet I have interwiki.php defined in the cache folder, and I'm requiring it in LocalSettings.php:
$wgInterwikiCache = require "$IP/cache/interwiki.php";
Has something else changed in these regards in MW 1.42? I shouldn't get this error when the $wgInterwikiCache variable is defined? Lwangaman (talk) 09:50, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- do you have the correct version of Interwiki extension for your version of mediawiki? Bawolff (talk) 10:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have the version that is bundled with Mediawiki. extension.json says v. 3.2.
- I install fresh Mediawiki instances by downloading the tar.gz and extracting:
wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.42/mediawiki-1.42.1.tar.gzLwangaman (talk) 10:52, 9 July 2024 (UTC)- just for good measure, I tried removing the Interwiki folder from extensions, and git cloning the extension from gerrit from branch REL1_42. Then I ran maintenance update scripts and
composer upfor good measure, but no change, still getting the same error. Lwangaman (talk) 11:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC) - I might also add that I had it working on MW 1.41 before upgrading to MW 1.42, there were no errors, $wgInterwikiCache was requiring the exact same "$IP/cache/interwiki.php". Lwangaman (talk) 12:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ok I think I found the answer: I tried setting the
$interwikiCachevariable BEFORE loading the Interwiki extension, and the error seems to have gone away. Up until the last version of MediaWiki it was working fine after loading the extension. Lwangaman (talk) 07:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC) - Actually no, the error has not gone away... Am still seeing it when running maintenance scripts. It was just further up in the message output. Lwangaman (talk) 07:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Do you have $wgInterwikiCentralDB or $wgInterwikiCentralInterlanguageDB set? It seems like those settings use that hook Bawolff (talk) 10:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I do have $wgInterwikiCentralDB set:
$wgInterwikiCentralDB = 'seminaverbi_en'; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['interwiki'] = true; $wgInterwikiCache = require "$IP/cache/interwiki.php";
- Should I not be setting this anymore? Or should I take any other measures? Lwangaman (talk) 18:20, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have commented out the $wgInterwikiCentralDB setting. If I turn on error reporting, I no longer see a warning in the frontend about the deprecated hook. However when I run jobs on the command line, I still see the deprecation error:

Wiki pages with somewhat long titles error when saving
Hello,
I have upgraded to MediaWiki 1.39.7 with the following components:
| Product | Version |
|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.39.7 |
| PHP | 7.4.33 (apache2handler) |
| MariaDB | 10.5.25-MariaDB |
| ICU | 74.2 |
I have been getting errors from the web browser such as "The connection was reset" when I try to edit and save pages with somewhat long titles (about 30 characters). Note that the titles are in the Greek alphabet, so I do not know if this plays a role regarding the size of character encoding. From what I read online, the maximum size for a page title is 255 bytes.
Also sometimes when saving is successful, I get lines of the form "<<<<<<< /private/var/tmp/merge-old-6jssyq" incorporated into the page's contents.
Note that I did not have problems of this sort with older versions of MediaWiki (or MySQL). I also do not have any problems with pages that have shorter page titles.
Any help on the matter is appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Kupirijo (talk) 11:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- > I get lines of the form "<<<<<<< /private/var/tmp/merge-old-6jssyq" incorporated into the page's contents
- This sounds like you have a git merge conflict in a file of your mediawiki installation. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 12:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @TheDJ
- Could you explain how git is involved in this error please? Aren't characters "<<<<<<<<" and ">>>>>>>>" used more widely and not only in git?
- Btw, this type of lines appears in the source of a wiki page, when I am editing a section of the page. Kupirijo (talk) 12:20, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- merge-old is what was triggering me. That is the prefix for the filenames that git uses when encountering two conflicting versions. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 15:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Greek characters are 2 bytes each. 30 character greek title = 60 bytes. So its probably not a length issue.
- It could also be something going wrong with edit conflict merging which also uses diff3 (and uses the merge-old-xxxxx convention), but i've never heard that happening before. See also manual:$wgDiff3
- Can you check your php error log. Bawolff (talk) 19:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. I checked
/var/log/apache2/error.log - and I get

RuntimeException on Main Page
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I just upgraded to MediaWiki 1.42.1 and now I get a RuntimeException on any content page.
The error message is as follows:
[Zo7mSqEjpbLgQB5NVrqDPwAAAgg] /wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page RuntimeException: Could not open '/home/brassgog/tmp_a5xawf/mw-GlobalIdGenerator1087-UUID-128'.
There is also a backtrace, but the spam filter won't allow me to post it.
My wiki is at https://brassgoggles.net/wiki/ Short of nuking it from orbit, how can I fix this? VonCorax (talk) 19:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Try just deleting the file /home/brassgog/tmp_a5xawf/mw-GlobalIdGenerator1087-UUID-128 . Sometimes this file gets created with wrong permissions if you run maintenance script as wrong user,but its safe to delete and that usually fixes it. Bawolff (talk) 06:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- That file already doesn't exist. There is no directory /home/brassgog/tmp_a5xawf . VonCorax (talk) 23:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Is $wgTmpDirectory pointing somewhere writable by whatever user mediawiki is running as? Bawolff (talk) 00:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- No. It's pointing to tmp_a5xawf . I assume you want me to set to to something that does exist? VonCorax (talk) 21:46, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- I changed it to /home/brassgog/tmp, and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks. VonCorax (talk) 22:17, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Links to Special:UserLogin and other pages render the wrong page
I have a problem where a number of 'Special' links such as those below render the Main_Page and not the special page in question. This means that the Login, Page Logs, Create Account and other links are broken.
This site in question is https://b58.wiki
```
/wiki/Main_Page?title=Special:Log&page=Main+Page
/wiki/Main_Page?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page&returntoquery=page%3DMain%2BPage

```
My virtual host config is

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/b58.wiki/privkey.pem

```
And I have a .htaccess file (/var/www/b58.wiki/.htaccess) as follows:
```
RewriteEngine On
# main rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
# Redirect / to Main Page
RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
```
The apparently relevant settings in /var/www/b58.wiki/w/LocalSettings.php are
```
$wgScriptPath = "/w";
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgScript = "";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;
## The protocol and server name to use in fully-qualified URLs
$wgServer = "https://b58.wiki:443";
## The URL path to static resources (images, scripts, etc.)
$wgResourceBasePath = $wgScriptPath;
```
I note that on your wiki, for example, the login link is of the form /w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Project%3ASupport+desk which is different that the login links generated by my mediawiki instance. If I manually type out this URL path and query into my wiki, I get a redirect to a new article called '/W/index.php' (with the text There is currently no text in this page...).
Software versions are
MediaWiki: 1.41.0
PHP: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.18
Debug panel is currently installed on the site.
This has defeated me for a day or so. I can't see what the problem would be. Any pointers or fresh eyes would be much appreciated. Townsonj (talk) 21:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- The problem turns out to be that either after installation (or somewhere in the shortURL documentation, I'm not sure), the LocalSettings.php has
- $wgScript = "";
- This overrides the default and correct value, which is $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; Townsonj (talk) 07:05, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

How to get tags for all edits
Hello,
I wanted to analyze data about edits on Wikipedia, so I downloaded the data dump with full history. But going through the xml, I managed to find all the revisions, edits and their comments, but tags assigned to the edits are nowhere to be found. Where are they in the dump or do I have to get them somewhere separately? VitSkalicky (talk) 09:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

editing no longer works
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I am looking for help:
After deactivating the plugin TinyMCE (editor that seems to have become incompatible), the visual editor no longer works (MediaWiki Vers. 1.42.1, VisualEditor Vers. 12ef5b7). Clicking on the editing button scrolls to the top of the site (or simply does nothing if the top view is already shown)
Another oddity is that I can no longer open the tab "editing" (as well as any other tab) in the settings section.
I checked the log file but could not find any hint about the problem (but most probably I am not competent enough to understand what I am looking at).
The code editor still works but the editing toolbar is gone. So, editing has become quite uncomfortable.
Any advice as to how to tackle the issue is appreciated 93.198.61.251 (talk) 08:32, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

- Have all of the extensions (including skins) been upgraded to 1.42? What happens if you disable all extensions except VisuaEditor (and anything absolutely necessary)? Leaderboard (talk) 19:08, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- deactivated all "unnecessary" plugins and VisualEditor started working again 👍 will activate the plugins one by one again and maybe find out what caused the issue... thanks for your help Delta4252 (talk) 19:27, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
SMW Property Value Template
Hello, everyone.
The default data type for property value is “page”. Property name::property value.
Can I also use a Template instead of a page as data type or isn’t this recommended?
It’s just because it thought it may be a good idea to organize templates with the help of SMW. I didn’t fin lad any information on this topic. Only which data types exist.

Loop through anonymous template parameters?
I have a template where I need to loop through multiple anonymous parameters.
{{My template
| Cats
| Dogs
}}
The template uses the variables in different places, so I cannot use
{{My template | Cats }}
{{My template | Dogs }}
How can I create a template that doesn't add all cases of {{{1}}}…{{{99}}}?

Is it only possible with Extensions like Extension:Loops and Extension:LoopFunctions? Subfader (talk) 11:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- It sounds like you'd do better with Extension:Scribunto, so you could either construct the entire template in Lua, or create a function that'd check for the param's existence (e.g. via frame:getParent()). Sam Wilson 11:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I am not able to create new accounts, I get the error:

Changing the username makes no difference.

What's up with isCreatableName?
I updated from WM 1.35 to 1.39.3 a year ago and I haven't tried to create a user since, so this likely happened during the update.

- It sounds like you are trying to use MW 1.35 extensions with MediaWiki 1.39. Try and ensure that all extensions have also been upgraded to the appropriate version.
- Of special note - RenameUser extension functionality is now in MediaWiki core. The extension cannot be used with newer versions of MediaWiki and must be removed on mediawiki 1.39. Bawolff (talk) 21:24, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Page Display Issue After Upgrading from 1.27 to 1.35
I recently upgraded my MediaWiki installation from version 1.27 to 1.35, and I'm encountering an issue with the almost all of my pages. After the upgrade, the homepage started up with only the title 'Main Page', the usual content and styling. It's showing only the basic text and structure, missing all of my wiki edits. Weird thing is I can see the history , edits and whatever changes I make gets saved. But I can keep doing it for all my pages. The upgrade wasnt easy but I was able to work through the issues.
Upgrade Process.
- Imported SQL Server data using MySql Workbench migration wizard.
- Reseeded around 17 tables whose Auto Increment was dropped by the migration.
- Ran the 1.35 mediawiki installer (Browser not CLI)
- Issues with Foreign keys so dropped whatever it complained about.
- And finally took what was needed from my Original Localsettings file.
Hoping these screenshots make sense of what I jst described

- PageInCat is not up to date for 1.42 yet it seems. You should either fix the extension and update it, or you can suppress deprecation warnings for php (should always be disabled for production) in your php.ini. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 18:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

How to disable caching for files for good?
On a wiki, I have the problem that uploaded new versions of existing files are not directly updated on pages linking them. If I click on a link, I get the previously uploaded version of the file. These are mainly PDF files, so no thumbnailing is involved if this matters.
- LocalSettings.php
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED;
$wgParserCacheType = CACHE_NONE;
$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;
$wgMessageCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED;
$wgMemCachedServers = [
'127.0.0.1:11211'
];
$wgCachePages = false;
$wgUseLocalMessageCache = true;
$wgEnableParserCache = false;
$wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse = false;
- VitualHost
<IfModule mod_headers.c> <filesMatch ".(pdf|odt|ott|doc|docx|dot|ods|ots|xls|xlsm|xlsx|xlt|odp|otp|ppt|pptx|pot|svg|jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$"> Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" Header set Pragma "no-cache" Header set Expires 0 </filesMatch> ... </IfModule>
The issue persists. I suspect that I also need to set the main cache to $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE; and forget about the message cache.
Perhaps there is something else I am missing? [[kgh]] (talk) 15:13, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- There is no cache for this that is part of your localsettings.
- Your webserver configuration is only disabling the cache for files which are served from disk. If they still need to be generated (by a 404 handler, or if they are always provided by thumb.php, then your filesMatch won't do anything, as they are not files. They are files streamed though a php script in that case. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 18:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- To rephrase your reply since I am not sure if I understand correctly:
- I need to set up a working 404 handler to prevent file caching? From what I posted, you cannot see if it is set up properly.
- In this case, I can provide specific information:
- LocalSettings.php

- > No, I wasn't sure what setup you are running and indicating that what you have configured SO FAR
- In other words, do I need to disable the 404 handler?
- > OK, so you are using thumb.php. In that case, you should see in your browser that all requests for images are of the form
- This is correct. Files are served via "thumb.php?f=FileName.pdf&widht=120.."
- > You'll want to modify the <Files "thumb.php"> block to add headers that disable the cache.
- I believe this should do the job:
<Files "thumb.php"> Satisfy Any Allow from all <IfModule mod_headers.c> Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" Header set Pragma "no-cache" Header set Expires 0 </IfModule> </Files>- I am still unsure if I should have a 404 handler in the first place. [[kgh]] (talk) 10:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- @TheDJ: What is your opinion on having a 404 handler in the setup? :) [[kgh]] (talk) 09:03, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would also suggest checking your browsers network tab to verify that all the headers are being set, and what caching behaviour is actually taking place (e.g. verify there isnt incorrect 304 responses or something) Bawolff (talk) 02:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- The network analyses reveal no caching, i.e., I get "Answers from cache: 0." There is no 304 status to see—all 200, at least from my side. I am now hoping that the most current files are being served. The users need to verify. Let's wait for TheDJs' reply. [[kgh]] (talk) 09:59, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
1.42 breaks remote authentication
I have been using the PluggableAuth and Shibboleth extensions for account creation and logins for a while. Shibboleth has not been updated for a while so I switched to the Auth_remoteuser extension, which has been working very well.
Authentication with those broke when I tried to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.42.0. As an experiment on a development platform, I created two stripped down wikis called fix142 using MW 1.42 and check141 using MW 1.41. The 1.41 MW works perfectly. It creates accounts and logs users in. Access is controlled by SAML.
MW 1.42 gives me this:
MediaWiki is unable to load the extension Auth_remoteuser. Please check that the extension's name is correct and all of its files are properly installed.
Details:
Error reading /var/www/html/fix142/extensions/Auth_remoteuser/extension.json. filemtime(): stat failed for /var/www/html/fix142/extensions/Auth_remoteuser/extension.json.

Remote mysql database ?
Hello, I'd like to transfer my mysql database to g**gle database. I just have the ip for mysql remote and the cloud configuration to make it public with authenticated. But I didn't succeeded. Is it possible, and how? 2A02:A020:88:D4DE:1:0:53DB:F38C (talk) 14:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Redirect to log in page if user not logged in
Hello
I'm creating a private wiki. My goal is to have the user immediately redirected to the login page from any page when they're not logged in. But I cannot get it to work without changing the mediawiki sources. I do not want to change the sources for security reasons.
My versions are:
| MediaWiki | 1.39.4 |
| PHP | 8.2.4 (apache2handler) |
| MariaDB | 10.4.28-MariaDB |
| ICU | 71.1 |
I tried to use a hook but since the not logged in page is a permissionErrorPage the redirect is not executed. The hooks I tried were BeforeInitialize and BeforePageDisplay.
Below my hook handle which i wrote into LocalSettings.php:
$wgHooks['BeforeInitialize'][] = function ( $title, $unused, $output, $user, $request, $mediaWiki ) {
# Check if the user is not logged in and not login Page
if ( $user->isAnon() &&
strcmp($title, SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'Userlogin' ))) {
# Get URL
$title = SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'Userlogin' );
$url = $title->getFullURL();
# Redirect to login page
$output->redirect( $url );
return;
}
return true;
};
Is there a way to implement my request without changing the mediawiki sources? Or a different handle that suits my needs? I already searched through Manual:Hooks.
Thanks in advance Rakon12 (talk) 18:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- How did you set up the 'private wiki'? If set up correctly you don't need to do anything. That should be the default, and in fact, only behavior; i.e "user [is] redirected to the login page from any page when they're not logged in." – Ammarpad (talk) 17:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, I am sorry for the late reply.
- I set it to private in the setup process. The normal behaviour is that if you're not logged in, a page appears saying you're not logged in with a link to the login page. I did not want the user to have to click on the link, but to be taken directly to the login page. Rakon12 (talk) 12:24, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

- Its hard to say. Possibly your webserver or hosting provider is intercepting and replacing 404 messages.

MediaWiki in WordPress
(Translated to English by Google)
I installed MediaWiki under a directory where WordPress is located (e.g. example.jp/wordpress/w/index.php), but the URLs were displayed in the format /w/index.php?title=$1, which was hard to read, so I changed it to /wiki/$1.
But then the pages were loaded on WordPress instead of MediaWiki, and I got a WordPress 404 error. What can I do to get them to display correctly?
I tried removing the permissions from WordPress to /wiki/ and /w/ in .htaccess, but it didn't work.
(I'm a beginner, so my explanation may be poor or my measures may be strange, but please bear with me.)
(Original: Japanese text)
WordPress のあるディレクトリの下 (例: example.jp/wordpress/w/index.php) に MediaWiki を導入してみたのですが、URL が /w/index.php?title=$1 の形式で表示されていて見にくかったので、/wiki/$1 の形式に変更しました。
すると MediaWiki 側ではなく WordPress 側でページが読み込まれ、WordPress の 404 エラーが出てしまいます。 正常に表示させるにはどうすればよいでしょうか？
.htaccess で、WordPress から /wiki/ と /w/ への権限をなくしてみましたが効果はありません。

- Why do you need CMS at the same directory. Have them at separate directories and set up both to use scripts paths to the direcotries. More over you can have bothsites at ceperate domain names like wiki.mysite.jp and wordpress.mysite.jp Fokebox (talk) 07:43, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply.
- WordPress and MediaWiki are separate directories. What does "set up both to use scripts paths to the directories" mean and how do I what to do that? I don't understand well, sorry. きくらげさん (talk) 03:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- You probably need different rewrite rules in .htaccess to control which application handles the url. There arent guides for when both wordpress and mediawiki are together - so if you are a new user i would reccomend not having them together so you can just follow manual:ShortURL Bawolff (talk) 20:38, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

JS of my special page extension not loading only on smartphone
On my wiki I made a special page that display recent changes in a pinterest style. Fort the image, it fetchs them using mediawikiParserOutput as a thumb 100px and then with js, I fetch the big images and put them where it should go. On desktop the js is loaded properly but on smartphone (and mozilla firefox smartphone simulation), it doesn't load.
It doesn't even matter what is in the js, if the js is only composed of a console.log("loaded"), there will be nothing in the console.
Here's my extension.json :
{ "manifest_version": 1, "name": "ArchiRecentChanges", "version": "1.1", "license-name": "GPL-3.0", "author": "Aymeric Feltz", "description": "Custom pages for archi-wiki.org that display a pinterest style list of recent changes", "type": "specialpage", "SpecialPages": { "ArchiRecentChanges": "ArchiRecentChanges\\SpecialArchiRecentChanges" }, "AutoloadClasses": { "ArchiRecentChanges\\SpecialArchiRecentChanges": "SpecialArchiRecentChanges.php" }, "MessagesDirs": { "ArchiRecentChanges": [ "i18n" ] }, "ResourceModules": { "ext.archirecentchanges": { "scripts": [ "js/archirecentchanges.js" ], "messages":[ "readthis" ] } }, "ResourceFileModulePaths": { "localBasePath": "", "remoteExtPath": "ArchiRecentChanges" }, "ExtensionMessagesFiles": { "ArchiRecentChangesAlias": "ArchiRecentChanges.i18n.alias.php" } }

|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.39.7 |

| ICU | 72.1 |
| elasticsearch | 6.8.23 |
We also have some js in our hack.js in our skin folder (that we deploy with npm), and this js works perfectly fine. It's only with the js of the extension that I have problems with Aphfug (talk) 12:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think on 1.39 you have to specify targets in ResourceModules in extension.json for the js to load on mobile. This requirement was removed in newer versions of mediawiki. Bawolff (talk) 20:35, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- However, this is the wrong place to ask these types of questions. Please ask questions about contributing to english wikipedia at w:WP:TEAHOUSE as they will be able to help you better. Bawolff (talk) 20:31, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
nginx rewrite rules for multiple wikis
Can anyone please help me set up nginx rewrite rules for multiple wikis with a common installation? I have a separate wiki for each language. E.g.
example.org/wiki/en example.org/wiki/fr/
Problem: Both wikis load with the correct URLs, but any action re-directs to the English wiki. E.g. creating a new page on the French (i.e. example.org/wiki/fr/) wiki re-directs to the English (i.e. example.org/wiki/en/) wiki. And if I try to create `Main_page` on the French wiki, it re-directs and opens editing the existing Main_page on the English wiki @ example.org/wiki/en/Main_Page.
How do I rectify this? Thanks in advance, I am completely stumped and any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

TypeError when attempting to view Special Pages
I just upgraded to MediaWiki 1.42.1 and now I get an InternalError:TypeError when attempting to display the Special Pages page.
The specific message is:
/wiki/index.php?title=Special:SpecialPages TypeError: MediaWiki\Auth\TemporaryPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider::__construct(): Argument #1 ($dbProvider) must be of type Wikimedia\Rdbms\IConnectionProvider, Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer given, called in /home/brassgog/public_html/wiki/extensions/ForumSsoProvider/ForumAuthManager.php on line 36
along with a lengthy backtrace which I will not reproduce here.
I'm using ForumSsoProvider to provide integration with Simple Machines Forum 2.1. VonCorax (talk) 22:30, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Error means your version of ForumSsoProvider is incompatible with your version of mediawiki. Try and get an updated version of the extension. Bawolff (talk) 01:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I had forgotten that ForumSsoProvider is a separate plugin; in this case I am using SimpleMachines'

What effect will this have? So far the wiki looks fine. Anyhow, do I need to worry? If yes, is there a suggestion on what to do about it? Thanks and cheers [[kgh]] (talk) 13:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- This sounds like possibly a user was removed from the database (this was something that people sometimes did after spam attacks), causing it to not be possible to find the user/actor that goes with a name in the log tables. You can look in your log_search table and find the records in question to see if you can find some sort of commonality for this user. I'm assuming this was possibly the second time this migration was run ? Cause if would expect at least some successful insertions for that many rows. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 09:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Visual Editor not working
I recently upgraded my Media Wiki to the latest stable version. I followed all the procedures I do in any other upgrade except this time there were a few issues. The first and most major issue is the fact that the Visual Editor is not working. When you click the "edit" tab the web page URL changes to show you are editing but the actual page does not change. I already tried re-installing the extension, but I still get the same issue. My search bar is also not working as it did before. It no longer gives me page suggestions while I am typing but that might just be a new thing in the update?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, JulianMalcolm08 (talk) 13:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- mw.loader.state({"icons-media":"missing","icons-moderation":"missing","icons-movement":"missing","icons-user":"missing"});
- How and where should these resources be generated? Can I use npm or yarn somewhere within my mediawiki installation? Perhaps within the /extensions/VisualEditor folder? However I'm not seeing a package.json in that folder anywhere. Perhaps if I copy and paste them from a source to their wanted destination, I just need an indication of the source and the destination... Lwangaman (talk) 15:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Setting up MediaWiki through dreamhost
We are having trouble with completing the basic setup by running the configuration script. We keep getting 404 error when we go to the URL of our MediaWiki installation in our web browser to complete the rest of the installation. We uploaded the file as mentioned here. We were also following this tutorial.
We are not sure what else to do. Has anyone set up a Media Wiki specifically through dreamhost? Thank you for your help in advance. Mnsolar (talk) 01:34, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have no experience with dreamhost, but In general: "simplify all the things". First try a very simply hello world .html file, see if you can get a response serving it up. Then try an index.php with just phpinfo() in it and see if you can get that to respond. etc.. etc etc.
- This will tell you which layer of the several layers that are involved is giving you a problem. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 09:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Does Mediawiki 1.39 LTS support MySQL 8?
The Compatibility guide says that Mediawiki 1.39 supports MySQL 5.7.0+.
To be sure before we upgrade our MySQL database, does that include MySQL 8.x or does the `+` just refer to the 5.x family?
Thanks. Mans0954 (talk) 08:51, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

It is said to not use thoses functions, but how do I replace the explode function ?
Hello, we work on the website archi-wiki.org that makes a lot of semantic query {{#ask}} and display them with templates. So we use #explode a lot because a smw {{#ask}} returns a string with delimiters. But it said to not use {{#explode}} and the others ParserFucntions/String functions. There is the wikipedia Module:String that replace a lot of them, but I haven't found replacement for the {{#explode}} so I tried making my own (Module:Explode):
local p = {} function p.findSep(frame) local text = frame.args[1] or "" local sepPattern = frame.args[2] or ";" local indice = frame.args[3] or 0 indice=indice+1 local i1=1 local i2=1 local i3=1 for i=0,indice-1 do if (i+1==indice) and (string.find(text,sepPattern,i3)==nil) then i1=i3 i2=0 break end i1=i3 i2,i3=string.find(text,sepPattern,i3) if (i2 == nil) or (i3==nil) then return "" end i3=i3+1 end return string.sub(text,i1,i2-1) end return p
It has the exact same outputs but I don't know how well it is optimised. Is there a better solution that I don't know of ? Right now, when we make a query that outputs 10k+ results, it takes a lot of time.
Here's some test examples :
{{#vardefine:test|test1;sep;test2;sep;test3;sep;test4;sep;}} T1: {{#invoke:Explode|findSep|{{#var:test}}|;sep;|0}} | {{#explode:{{#var:test}}|;sep;|0}} T2: {{#invoke:Explode|findSep|{{#var:test}}|;sep;|1}} | {{#explode:{{#var:test}}|;sep;|1}} T3: {{#invoke:Explode|findSep|{{#var:test}}|;sep;|7}} | {{#explode:{{#var:test}}|;sep;|7}}
res :
T1: test1 | test1
T2: test2 | test2

Would a parser function be best for a currency/point-based extension?
Hello. For one of my wikis, I have been planning on creating a point-based extension for a feature that can be used to access certain parts of a wiki (i.e. full versions of games that have demos). However, I am not sure whether I should use a parser function or some other type of extension. Any advice? Thank you for reading. Newman2 (talk) 17:39, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe you want custom Autopromote group using Manual:Hooks/AutopromoteCondition Bawolff (talk) 17:54, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Backup/Export all
Hi,
I am trying to find a way to export or back up my wikibase stored on wikibase.cloud. I have already found a number of extensions to export/back up self-hosted wikibases, as well as way to export specific pages (either one by one or a batch of pages). However, I have not yet found a way (if it exists) to instantly export/back up the entirety of a wikibase instance hosted by wikibase.cloud. Am I missing something or is this not an option at this stage? As I put more and more data in my wikibase, this is starting to feel like an important thing to do.
Thanks a lot in advance! 2A03:1B20:B:F011:0:0:0:A06D (talk) 18:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

MW can't connect to DB though the install script can
This is what I did:
1. Create a new MySQL database 'blah_mw' and a user 'blah_user' with all possible privileges on the former.
2. Install MediaWiki, providing the following information to the installation script:
$wgDBtype = 'mysql'; $wgDBserver = 'localhost'; $wgDBname = 'blah_mw'; $wgDBuser = 'blah_user'; $wgDBpassword = 'mynicepassword';
as summed up in LocalSettings.php.
3. Go to http://mywiki.org/, where I obtain the error:
MediaWiki internal error. Original exception: [ZqEs3UQYlJ7QKxMlbf02vgAAAIA] / Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnectionError: Cannot access the database: Access denied for user 'blah_user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (localhost) Backtrace: from /home/blah/public_html/includes/libs/rdbms/loadbalancer/LoadBalancer.php(1138) #0 /home/v/public_html/includes/libs/rdbms/loadbalancer/LoadBalancer.php(794): Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer->reportConnectionError() #1 /home/blah/public_html/includes/libs/rdbms/loadbalancer/LoadBalancer.php(782): Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer->getServerConnection() #2 /home/blah/public_html/includes/libs/rdbms/database/DBConnRef.php(99): Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer->getConnectionInternal() #3 /home/blah/public_html/includes/libs/rdbms/database/DBConnRef.php(117): Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef->ensureConnection() #4 /home/blah/public_html/includes/libs/rdbms/database/DBConnRef.php(338): Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef->__call() #5 /home/blah/public_html/includes/libs/rdbms/querybuilder/SelectQueryBuilder.php(747): Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef->selectField()
It seems that MediaWiki cannot connect to the database. However, when I open it with PHPmyadmin, I can see that the installation script has been able to edit it, so the problem is not related to the credentials I gave.
Does anybody have any clue what the problem can be related to? 2A01:CB19:8142:6C00:1CCF:B57E:64A0:D6E5 (talk) 16:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- When you say install script do you mean install.php commandline script or do you mean web installer? Bawolff (talk) 23:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I mean the web installer. 2A01:CB19:8142:6C00:F65B:F11B:9B75:993D (talk) 14:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- I should also mention that I use a shared hosting, so I don't have root privileges on the server. The creation of the database and MySQL user were done through the administration panel of the host, and then I downloaded MediaWiki by SSH. 2A01:CB19:8142:6C00:F65B:F11B:9B75:993D (talk) 14:58, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- That's weird. If it works in one it should work in both.
- Try using wgDBServer of 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, just in case (controls whether to use tcp or unix socket) Bawolff (talk) 21:04, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Finally it worked by creating a second user. Apparently my host blocked the first one, probably the web installer had it make too many inserts into the database... Sorry for bothering, thanks a lot for your answers. 2A01:CB19:8142:6C00:679:E05E:1051:3B2A (talk) 20:46, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I can't find an extension. Is there a hook that can be used without hardcoding into SpecialSearch.php? Subfader (talk) 15:13, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- If using extension:CirrusSearch you can use the incategory: operator. See help:Extension:CirrusSearch Bawolff (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Ping from bot
Hi, I noticed that if a user with "bot" permission pinging in the edit summary, the ping is not sent. what can be done? Thanks in advance! Neriah (talk) 20:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Bots are often excluded from pings yes. Which bot and which wiki are we talking about ? —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:08, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- @TheDJ This is a wiki site that does not belong to the Wikimedia Foundation. Manual edits are made through the bot account, so it is necessary for pings to be sent. Neriah (talk) 13:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- When you login/register, it is running a check by the user against the global blocking table.
- Access denied for user '36900384_a'@'192.168.0.%' to database 'globalblocking'
- User 36900384_an accessing via '192.168.0.%' cannot read or write to the globalblocking table. You'll have to fix that, it is a database configuration problem. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:05, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ok it's a database configuration problem but how can I fix this can you give me little bit idea. Xaloria (talk) 08:09, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's not really a MediaWiki issue and very much depends on how your server is setup. I'm assuming that access to other tables works ?

Lua error: module 'Module:Message box' not found
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I want to use MediaWiki's Stub template on my own installation. When I try to edit the template file I get the error message "Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Message box' not found." How can I fix this?
I'm using MediaWiki 1.42.1 with Lua 5.1.5 and TemplateStyles 1.0 (8a7dd4a).
Thanks. VonCorax (talk) 17:42, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- You need to also copy all templates it depends on (in this case w:Module:Message box)
- If transferring using Special:Export and Special:import, be sure to check the "Include templates" checkbox. Bawolff (talk) 20:12, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've done that, and now I'm getting "Module:Message box/configuration" not found. Do I just keep importing stuff until it works? Importing
Message box/configurationaccomplished nothing. VonCorax (talk) 14:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
help regarding custom titles
I tried to put the displaytitle on a page of a wiki I'm in, but all I got was this: "Display title "United Kingdomball" was ignored since it is not equivalent to the page's actual title."
This was the context of how I want to add it:
The title of the page is called "UKball", but I placed the code {{DISPLAYTITLE:United Kingdomball}}. The DISPLAYTITLE code ended up failing as a result, and I want to ask: How can I overcome this problem (which is changing the page's display title to something that isn't "related" to the actual title)?

ever-growing wiki
My wiki is consuming memory at an alarming rate. It is 20 gigs past where it should be.
I have deleted the image temp, archive, and thumbs folders. I have reduced the default thumb images to a single size. These purges produce temporary and tiny reductions but soon enough the numbers are right back where they were.
When I have less visitors it happens slower, when I have more visitors it increases faster. I am the only one who can add images.
Do I have a virus or a hacker, or just a bloated folder somewhere? -𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡💀 14:54, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- You should try to identify which parts of your applications take up most space. Based on your operating system there are different ways to do that. On Linux you can use
du -hcs ./* | sort -hwithin your MediaWiki installation directory. You can then dive into the largest folders and execute this command again. That way you may be able to identify where the data is. Then you need to decide yourself if it looks suspicious. Osnard (talk) 12:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

- Do you run a separate wgOATHAuthDatabase (and/or what is the current setting) or do you use wgSharedTables ? —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 11:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- I downloaded the 1.42.1 package from the MediaWiki website, sent the contents of the files from this package to the FTP server, overwriting the current ones. I started the update process.
- Example:
- mysite.pl/wiki/mw-config
- I entered the $wgUpgradeKey from LocalSettings.php on the update page and then I get these errors.
- And I don't understand why I have a connection error:
- An error occurred: Error 1044: Access denied for user '12345_wiki'@'%' to database 'virtual' Function: Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMySQL::doSelectDomain Query: USE `virtual`
- And I don't understand why I have this error:
- /home/xx/xx/x/wiki/extensions/OATHAuth/maintenance/updateTOTPScratchTokensToArray.php...
- I don't have anything like $wgOATHAuthDatabase or wgSharedTables in the LocalSettings.php file Monocero (talk) 11:56, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ah.
- > overwriting the current ones
- But that doesn't delete the files that have been removed, which can cause issues when loading the site. Please read again Manual:Upgrading.
- Additionally, you didn't update your extensions yet and therefor your OathAuth extension is not compatible with this newer MediaWiki version. You can either choose to update all your extensions, or a bit easier / less confusing, can be to
- first disable all your extension in LocalSettings.php
- upgrade the core with the updater
- install the newer versions of extensions
- re-enable the extensions in your LocalSettings.php
- run the updater again to ensure the extensions can run all their updates —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 12:14, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. I left only the images directory and the LocalSettings.php file on the server, then I uploaded new content from the mediawiki-1.42.1 package and the latest versions of the extensions I use. I started the MediaWiki update process and I get the same error:
- ...site_type key doesn't exist.
- ...iwl_prefix_from_title key doesn't exist.

- Which data do you want to see? Do you mean the entire contents of this file? How did those people solve this problem? These are the extensions I have installed:
- CreatePageUw
- DarkMode
- PageForms
- TinyMCE
- This is the skin I have installed:
- Citizen Monocero (talk) 19:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- None of them did (afaik). I was just hoping that the LocalSettings.php file would reveal some difference in configuration that might hint at what the issue is. Bawolff (talk) 22:37, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I uploaded MediaWiki 1.41.0 files and when updating I have the following error:
- ...oathauth_types table already exists.
- ...have module field in oathauth_users table.
- ...oathauth_users table does not contain secret field.

- An error occurred:
- No such service: OATHAuthDatabase Monocero (talk) 19:33, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- I had the same problem. The problem lies solely in the extension OATHAuth and it was solved after removing it from the extensions folder and copying it back from a backup.
- In short, having the newest mediawiki with an old version of the extension. Buran Biggest Fan (talk) 09:08, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Bawolff
- This bug with the 1.42.1 update comes from MediaWiki, probably from the OATHAuth extension. I did as @Buran Biggest Fan mentioned, I removed the OATHAuth extension from the 'extensions' directory on the server, in the LocalSettings.php file I removed the code wfLoadExtension( 'OATHAuth' ); that loads this extension and I was able to successfully update MediaWiki from 1.40 to 1.41.0. Then I uploaded this extension from the 1.41 package. I am not going to upgrade to 1.42.1 because there is bug:
- /home/xx/xx/x/wiki/extensions/OATHAuth/maintenance/updateTOTPScratchTokensToArray.php...
- An error occurred: Error 1044: Access denied for user '12345_wiki'@'%' to database 'virtual' Function: Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMySQL::doSelectDomain Query: USE `virtual`
- When version 1.43 comes out, I will update MediaWiki.
- @Buran Biggest Fan
- Thank you for your post. You helped me. Monocero (talk) 09:32, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, but we still have no idea why, as most people do not seem to experience this bug, so devs haven't been able to figure out what is going on. If there is anything different about your setup compared to the average mediawiki setup, please let us know. Bawolff (talk) 19:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- I understand, I will paste you the content I added in LocalSettings.php, but I did a test before updating, I removed this content from LocalSettings.php and during the update I also got this error.

Our staging environment is down "no healthy upstream" and our final pipeline tests are not passing because there is 'no matching files'
I have reached out to our hosting company, ironbank, and canasta to see if they had any insight. I am out of my scope here so any thoughts anybody has would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and expertise. Kimmywingz (talk) 17:47, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi!
- This all sounds like a regular file system permission error. Please make sure the the user context you are using to perform the copy operation has sufficient permissions on the target file system. Osnard (talk) 13:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- The second error sounds like you might have a mix of different versions. Bawolff (talk) 15:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for that information. Our base container is set up to run as root and the permissions haven't changed from prior to the update. Is there some way I can test the permissions? One thing that has changed is that previously we had one FROM command in our dockerfile that called the MW Canasta image from Ironbank on our main branch. Now the FROM command in our dockerfile on our main branch calls another repo which has a Dockerfile that calls the IB image (and additional package dependencies to make it "work") Kimmywingz (talk) 17:59, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
