Search results not clickable on Safari

Unfortunately, I found a small bug. Pages not loading on Safari on Mac from the search bar. I also found this bug on github. I have seen that the problem also occurs on your German website.

Solution idea: Maybe Safari has a problem with the redirection...

Example:

https://star-citizen.wiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=Star%20Citizen%20Wiki --> https://star-citizen.wiki/Star_Citizen_Wiki

Thanks a lot for looking at the problem. Josua Koenig (talk) 09:01, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

I've noticed (on iOS) holding a search result and clicking Open in Background does open the page.

The issue seems to stem from Safari not letting the click go "through" to the link. Octfx (talk) 09:06, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

How could I fix this? Josua Koenig (talk) 11:07, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I want to add a default theme color, but I cannot figure out how.

I've been adding this in LocalSettings.php and citizen.php : $wgCitizenThemeDefault = "dark";

But it doesn't do anything. I'm probably doing it wrong as I'm quite new to MediaWiki.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Romanio0089 (talk) 15:34, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm experiencing this same issue. Batposter (talk) 09:58, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Will look into it. There will be a patch coming soon to address the known issues with the theme switch. Alistair3149 (talk) 19:53, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

It's been 5 months, any updates? It still not working... Inxity (talk) 17:05, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

It should be working a few months ago, have you updated the skin and purge your local cache? Alistair3149 (talk) 19:07, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I tried and also updated to 1.17.6. Cleared my cache, and still not working for me. Inxity (talk) 10:54, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi there! I discovered the issue and it should now be fixed. Would you mind to update and check again? Alistair3149 (talk) 19:31, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Issue with TinyMCE

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.

---

There seems to be a problem with the way the skin handles the TinyMCE editor (I already asked about it on its talk page, the author said it's most likely an issue with the skin).

When I edit a page with the TinyMCE editor, the textbox area just expands on and on, infinitely, and I can never reach the end of the page (thus unable to save any edit I make).

I run latest MediaWiki 1.37 (just installed everything a couple days ago). I hope the issue can be resolved, it'd be a shame to not be able to use TinyMCE in such a pro-looking theme.

Thanks! Lulullia (talk) 10:40, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Do you have an online example to test? Octfx (talk) 12:03, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, my wiki is private (and I only have a local server)...

But I think it's reproducible by simply installing and trying TinyMCE on any wiki with the Citizen skin (I didn't have any other extensions installed besides the default ones when I first encountered the bug). Lulullia (talk) 17:14, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

I also have this issue. In fact I've tried your workaround @Lulullia. It does work when first open, but once the javascript trigger it went haywire again.

I found out that the autoresize plugin causes this issue. Quick workaround is to disable the autoresize plugin either:

1. Rename TinyMCE\tinymce\plugins\autoresize folder to something else.
2. Comment out line 422 in MW_tinymce.js (autoresize/plugin.js)

Let me know if this workaround does not work or have issue.

Thanks. Ahmadpi (talk) 01:52, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the late reply I didn't touch mediawiki stuff in a while.

Thanks a lot @Ahmadpi ! your workaround is working like a charm. I'll share it with tinyMCE's author so he can investigate more. Lulullia (talk) 10:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Editing the width of pages

Hello,

I would like to edit the width of the default settings of the Citizen Skin from 960px to 1320px. I have already seen the informations on this page but it doesn't work. CSS says: Error: Expected RBRACE at line 6, col 5.

Thanks for answering! Valo139 (talk) 20:53, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

You probably missed a } in line 6. Alistair3149 (talk) 00:25, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

And I missed it says this too: Warning: Unknown property 'width-layout'.

The } seems to work. The error about this topic doesn't show up anymore. But if I delete the site from the cache, the changes aren't applied anyways. I have no clue. Should I send the link to my wiki?

Thanks! Valo139 (talk) 05:17, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Sure! I can help you better if I can take a look at the live wiki.

Also make sure that you are setting --width-layout instead of width-layout Alistair3149 (talk) 17:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Now it works!

Thanks for your help! I much appreciate. Obviously I made the simplest thing false. Valo139 (talk) 16:41, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Could we enable this skin in wikimedia wikis?

I think this skin is really cool! Is it possible to enable this skin in wikimedia wikis? Maybe it can be tested in Beta Cluster before deployed in production. Steven Sun (talk) 02:20, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

The "problem" is, that every skin/extension needs to have an official stakeholder group, that is responsible for any bugs/problems that may arise.

In order to get this skin on any official wikimedia site, a stakeholder group has to be found, and a successful security review has to be done.

While all this may be possible, realistically this won't happen. BUT if you are determined you could try to start a task on Phabricator. Octfx (talk) 08:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Changing style of page title / display title

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

Hi,

Really like Citizen, by far and away the best skin for me.

I have been experimenting with changing various elements but I'm pretty much a css/less novice and the one element I really cannot affect much is the page title. I thought it was using the H1 heading style but it's not and I can't find where to alter it. I can make site wide adjustments - font, size etc which will affect everything, but nothing specific for the title. My only solution so far has been to add a parameter in the DISPLAYTITLE magic word eg {{DISPLAYTITLE:<font size="36px">A Page Title</font> ...

This works per title but it's a faff to do it on every page and I would rather have something I can apply site wide.

If someone can point me at what I need to edit I would really appreciate it.

Thanks MrSmith35 (talk) 16:34, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you and glad that you like the skin!

This short tutorial will help you figure out how to style elements like that. Once you figure out the style, you can put it in MediaWiki:Citizen.css and it'll apply to every pages. Alistair3149 (talk) 06:58, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply Alistair. I had looked at the DevTools in my browser before but for some reason couldn't see the element I wanted to change. Anyway went back a bit wiser after reading the tutorial and found the element I need to affect - .firstHeading in content.less. Oddly it does reference the h1 heading style but when l alter that nothing happens to the .fristHeading so perhaps something else I have done is also affecting it. Anyway I can now make page headings bigger which is what I wanted = result = happy bunny! MrSmith35 (talk) 21:01, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

It does inherit part of the h1 styles as you can see from DevTools. Using a style targetting .firstHeading should be able to change the style. I suggest doing it in `MediaWiki:Citizen.css` on your wiki instead of editing the source file (e.g. content.less), as it is less maintenance when you update the skin. Alistair3149 (talk) 21:09, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks again. Yes I've managed to target .firstHeading and change its size in Citizen.css as you suggest.

How to do plain links in Citizen skin

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 make a couple of links that will appear on quite a few pages into plainlinks. These links to external sites will have their own icons associated with them so the standard link icon is just adding clutter. Tried the usual <span class="plainlinks"> but it didn't do anything. Switched to a different skin and the plainlinks were working as expected. Is there a different method I need to employ in Citizen to get plainlinks?

Thanks MrSmith35 (talk) 23:24, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

It was a bug in the previous patch and it should now be fixed. You can use the usual plainlinks way and it should hide the icon. Alistair3149 (talk) 21:03, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Alistair. Works a treat! MrSmith35 (talk) 03:23, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

There is an issue with your ICU or PHP-intl installation. Usually updating ICU would fix it, but if it doesn't, then you can disable the numberformatter through by setting wgCitizenUseNumberFormatter to false.

Is there a proper way is to customize the Preference box to add extra sections like this, or is it not possible in a similar situation with the toolbar? Konodiol (talk) 12:38, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Adding Recent Changes

HI Alistair

Is there a way to add Recent Changes to the Tools in the dropdown?

There is currently related changes but the complete list of Recent Changes I need to get added also,

Is this possible? SyrinxCat (talk) 17:03, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

You can add links to the toolbox menu using the SkinAfterPortlet hook with portletName being "tb". Alistair3149 (talk) 04:08, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

A bit if a mediawiki noob here and am not entirely sure how to do that. Does an extension have to be created to handle that or can it be called some other way? SyrinxCat (talk) 17:13, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

You can call a hook directly from localsettings.php.

Something like this should work, I am not a PHP expert though:

public static function onSkinAfterPortlet( $skin, $portletName, &$html ) {
    $html += 'RAW HTML HERE';
}
$wgHooks['SkinAfterPortlet'][] = 'onSkinAfterPortlet';

Alistair3149 (talk) 20:45, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks.

Sort if got it working with...

function onSkinAfterPortlet(  $skin, $portletName, &$html ) {

    $html .= '<a href="Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&limit=500&days=7&enhanced=1&urlversion=2">Recent Changes</a>';

}

$wgHooks['SkinAfterPortlet'][] = 'onSkinAfterPortlet';

Problem is it seems to add it to all drop-down menus when it needs to just go it the one with the tools so not sure how to specify to only go in that one? SyrinxCat (talk) 22:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Alistair

I have $wgCitizenThemeDefault = 'dark'; set in the LocalSettings file but for some reason it's always defaulting to the light verson. Ideally want folk using the dark unless they manually change it.

Should that setting not force dark for a not logged in users? SyrinxCat (talk) 17:15, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

It was a bug that was fixed recently.

$wgCitizenShowPageTools: Permission setting never shows tools

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

So the $wgCitizenShowPageTools option allows for a few settings for when the page tools are visible:

$wgCitizenShowPageTools

The condition of page tools visibility

true - always visible; 'login' - visible to logged-in users; 'permission' - visible to users with the right permissions

true

However, when I set it to 'permission' like so (in my LocalSettings.php):

$wgCitizenShowPageTools = 'permission';

The page tools never show up, even when logged in as the Admin.

Can someone else verify this setting works, and what permissions it's keying off of? IanMoriarty (talk) 04:46, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

You'd need to specify an actual permission in $wgCitizenShowPageTools, for example $wgCitizenShowPageTools = 'permission-edit'; will only show the tools for users with the edit permission. Octfx (talk) 06:27, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Top Homepage link disappeared

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.

---

When scrolling down pages in both desktop and mobile versions, a topbar with the page name appears which makes it possible to click on the page name to go back to the top of the page. Then, once on top, where the pagename was, the name of the wiki (in plain text) would appear and offer a one-click link to the homepage.

I had to reinstall MediaWiki 1.38 and reinjected my DB, extensions and then downloaded the latest Citizen skin and now the top bar has disappeared when at the top of the page. It is only present with the page name when scrolling down. That means there is no way to go back to the homepage in one click without first opening the sidebar and then clicking on the logo.

I see that the 'Personal Menu' and 'Preferences' moved to the left on Desktop and to the bottom on mobile but is that a new feature that appeared in the latest version I downloaded or a configuration error on my part? Since then, I also see that the 'Table of content' moved from left to right.

Can anybody tell me how I could put the Personal Menu and Preferences as well as the top bar link to the homepage back on top of any page and how to move the table of content back to the left?

Thanks for your help MediaWonka (talk) 23:34, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Citizen

2.0.0-beta.1 (c727f9e)

Sokote zaman (talk) 17:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

I wasn't able to reproduce on other wikis that have similar configuration. Citizen generates the webapp manifest to provide a better mobile experience, that isn't present in Vector so that's why it is not reproducible there.

Since the wiki is private, I am not able to figure out the exact error :( It could be something with private wikis but I am not sure. Alistair3149 (talk) 17:53, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you

I made the wiki public

Because it was in experimental mode, I had made it private and now it can be seen by the public

The mobile version is very good and I thank you for that

I think that the link of random pages is problematic because it only repeats one page at a time on each click Sokote zaman (talk) 03:43, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

The random page is sadly a feature of the core MW, so it is not something that I can tackle right away. But in the future I am aiming to work on the empty search suggestion popup state, which could potentially include random articles. Alistair3149 (talk) 19:53, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Add a button to the menu

Is it possible to create a separate custom icon in the row of buttons and after the gear icon?

If possible, please advise how to do it.

Is there an alternative way?

thank you Sokote zaman (talk) 06:57, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

You can probably inject new buttons through Javascript by prepending the element to the .citizen-header__end container. Giving the button a .citizen-header__button class will set the width and height correctly. Alistair3149 (talk) 17:50, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Where do I set the default page width for the Citizen skin if possible? Currently, new users are opening the wiki to 960px and ideally I want all users to have it set to 1680px as standard?

I want to avoid having to tell users to use the settings toggle manually in the bottom left bar.

Thank you for your work on the Citizen skin! I just installed Citizen 2.0.1.

Many help centers have a large search bar centered in the main page hero section.

On the main page of my wiki I was able to copy the HTML from the basic MediaWiki search field, but it doesn't show suggestions and article images like the Citizen search field does.

I tried using Javascript to append the citizen-search div to the body of the page, but I only get the magnifying glass icon that doesn't do anything.

Can you think of a way to display a big Citizen search field on the main page? CitizenFan (talk) 21:36, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

There isn't a way currently since the search suggestion is hardcoded to attach to the search box. However, we made a Javascript hack to trigger the search box when the user click on an element with the ID #skin-citizen-search-trigger. You can see the Javascript here and how it works here.

Reworking the search experience is a high priority for me in terms of features. Hopefully that I will get to that in this month. Alistair3149 (talk) 00:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply and for that trigger! Let me know if you need any help testing the new search features or anything else. CitizenFan (talk) 18:51, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

You have probably answered this somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so I'm posting this because I imagine others will have the same question.

Citizen 1 has the toolbar on the TOP and the table of contents on the LEFT.

Citizen 2 has the toolbar on the LEFT and the table of contents on the RIGHT.

Will Citizen 2 eventually have the ability to switch to the original layout, or do we just need to use version 1 if we want that layout? Thanks! CitizenFan (talk) 19:00, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

For now I don't have plans to implement that since there are some technical difficulties and design challenges. The intention behind the change is to clearly separate site-related tools and article-related tools, and also make sticky headers work better without conflict.

You can use version 1 or probably do some CSS hacks to make it work in Citizen 2. Alistair3149 (talk) 20:29, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Skin looks good but I don't understand why this line appears in the footer. (⧼citizen-page-info-0⧽) What is it and can I change it? Flounder ceo (talk) 00:14, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

That is very weird and shouldn't happen.

Do you have a live demo or screenshot of the bug? Alistair3149 (talk) 20:52, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll be looking into it this week Alistair3149 (talk) 11:19, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

The issue is with Extension:Hitcounter and it is blocked upstream. In the meantime, you can fix it temporarily by editing MediaWiki:Citizen-page-info-0 on your wiki. Alistair3149 (talk) 00:45, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for following up on this! I will try that fix. Flounder ceo (talk) 01:07, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Looks good. I changed it to say "Statistics". Flounder ceo (talk) 16:40, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Is it possible to hide Citizen-footer-desc and Citizen-footer-tagline?

As title says, is there any config to disable them? 159.146.48.57 (talk) 21:07, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

You can simply empty those pages and it'll become blank Alistair3149 (talk) 11:08, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
