Release date of version 1.21.5

The section Current version states that version 1.21.5 was published on 14th November 2013, but the News section states that it was released on 28th January 2014. Maybe someone could correct it. Marc-André Aßbrock (talk) 08:45, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, it is fixed now. Qgil (talk) 21:20, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Forcing HTTPS

Damn you whoever thought enforcing HTTPS was a really wonderful move. At least do it properly. Here on mediawiki.org I can't disable HTTPS. The related checkbox is always checked even tho the preferences page says "You preferences are saved". Ironically Bugzilla is all on HTTPS so I can't report it over here. F**k.

Delete the cookies that say ForceHTTPS in your browser. However you shouldn't be logged into any wiki that has SSL enabled. Cussing won't help either, by the way. Jasper Deng (talk) 23:39, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't have those cookies.. KPu3uC B Poccuu (talk) 00:59, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

should be lower case forceHTTPS, sorry.

But in any case, I've had that problem before too. You have to relogin and when logging in, not from HTTPS. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:14, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

first of all why do you want to disable HTTPS? it gives a security and privacy benefits. If you really wanna do that then delete the cookies. Robex89 (talk) 19:03, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

how discuss 218.242.174.226 02:09, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Note https is now required for all users on several wikis, with more wikis to be added. See the blog post and m:HTTPS. SPage (WMF) (talk) 18:54, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Main Page template/pt-br

I'm having a problem when searching for a page to translate (Template:Main page/sitelink5/pt-br). The current search engine (Cirrus) does not offer the option to create non-existent pages. Can anyone help me? Fabiano (Fabsouza1) (talk) 16:08, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Direct link for you ;) In my opinion, MainPage should be migrate into new translation system (through Translate Extension). Kaganer (talk) 19:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I think so. This would greatly facilitate the work of translation. Fabiano (Fabsouza1) (talk) 20:14, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

fwiw we have a good chance to come up with a sane approach for localization of the homepage as part of MediaWiki/Homepage_redesign. Qgil (talk) 22:21, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Updating Picture

I am trying to upload a current picture and Wikipedia says I don't have the authority to do that. How do I get the authority? Rsieron (talk) 21:38, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

You need to become autoconfirmed first. That means you need at least 10 edits and 4 days of account age.

On old site article looks: http://s23.postimg.org/t10ogt3pn/wiki1.png

And on new: http://s23.postimg.org/t10ogt3pn/wiki1.png

So, my questioon: It's there a easy options for quoting and shadowing words? Gray 13:27, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

HTTPS links not rendering

Can anybody think of a reason why HTTPS links would not be rendered as links? All instances of HTTPS links across my entire wiki (including pages in the Special namespace [i.e. Special:Version]) are rendered as if surrounded by <nowiki> tags.

Ex.)

    HTTP renders properly
    FTP renders properly
    [https://test HTTPS renders exactly like this] 132.3.45.78 17:26, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Add this to your LocalSettings.php:

$wgUrlProtocols[] = 'https';

Tim (SVG) 19:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

I've added the line -- no change.

I was under the impression that HTTPS was a supported URL protocol by default.

Any other ideas? 132.3.45.82 20:04, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

I need help, some questions about html support <(_ _)>

I always using external image to paste the picture in the mediawiki. If I use internal phrase of mediawiki, the direct links with the png ot jpg external file name will auto show the picture in the mediawiki. But I want to

1. resize the picture and add the frame line around the picture so I want just using html phrase and don't want using wiki's phrase. I find the rawhtml function and it seems can provide full html support, but even if I add the command - "$wgRawHtml = true" in the localsetting file ,it(rawhtml) seems not work (still show the picture automatically). If I want to enable some phrase with html code and remove all the mediawiki support temporarily, how could I do?
and
2. just want the picture link using the type of hyperlink like the result of vbb code [url=XXXXXX.png]hyperlink name[/url] Because the picture will auto showing after I paste the direct link with png external file name , I can't use this method to show the hyperlink like below example - [http://XXXXXXXX.png hyperlike name]
3.Then,if I use the nowiki tag, it seems not only stop support mediawiki phrase, but also I can't use the html phrase, is this true?

maps on external SD card

First, I would like to say that the comparison page showing all the applications that use Open Street Maps is "amazing".

Second, I would to apologize for duplicating this post; I'm not what key I accidentally hit for that.

There is one column that I think would be a very good addition, although I don't know how difficult it would be to get this information. You would probably have to ask each developer if their app supported it.

Since many users devices, especially phones, have a limited amount of internal storage, they are looking for a way to store at least the map data, and possibly the app itself on an external SD card. If a column were added to the charts that indicate this capability, it would be very helpful.

You only need to go to the CoPilot forms to see how this has become a hot topic over there. An otherwise excellent product is being abandoned by many users because of their refusal to fix their product to allow this. Their forums contain many references to MapFactor Navigator, which does support this (like many apps) but they just blame everything on Google/Android, and have refused to do anything in over two years.

It looks like you're complaining about osmwiki:List of OSM based Services. While the OpenStreetMap wiki runs on MediaWiki, this site is not responsible for the content hosted there.

File uploading limit???

I need to change the maximum upload file size but its not working with me the upload window shows this

Maximum file size: 2 MB (a file on your computer) Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, doc, xls, mpp, pdf, ppt, xlsx, jpg, tiff, odt, odg, ods, odp.

so i need to make the maximum file upload 150MB i edited the following according to the Manuals in the website Manual:Configuring_file_uploads

\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\LocalSettings.php

#MaxUploadFiles
$wgUploadSizeWarning = 157286400;
$wgMaxUploadSize = 157286400;

from the \xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\LocalSettings.php file

and

upload_max_filesize = 150M
post_max_size = 150M

from the \xampp\php\php.ini-development file and also in the C:\xampp\php\php.ini-production file i know i am supposed to edit php.ini but these are the php.ini files that i found in the php folder so im not sure if i am editing the right files?

even after making these changes i still get this error Warning: POST Content-Length of 18143113 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

so how can i change the file limit for the upload?

Thanks Noopty (talk) 06:25, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello!

im sorry if i was not clear enough in my question but anyway!

i found the solution for whoever has the same problem. so in Xampp the php.ini file is located in xampp/php/php the file is called php without the ini but its the right one. so i opened that up and changed these

upload_max_filesize = 150M

post_max_size = 150M

like i mentioned before, so my problem was that i forgot to restart apache in my virtual server! so if you are using xampp go to the xampp control panel and just hit stop then start again and it should work just fine!

hope it helps :) Noopty (talk) 12:52, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
