My user dashboard is missing after doing an update, where did it go, how do I get it back??
Topic on Project:Support desk
About which software are you speaking? If it is MediaWiki, please tell us, how you created the dashboard, which now is missing!
it's mediawiki. I don't KNOW how I created the dashboard, I'm not sure I even did. It had typical editing functions such as headers, italics, bold, url, image, etc. in a row a the top of an editing page. One could select one of the functions and the wiki markup code would be inserted onto the page at the curser. It was there the last time I wanted to do an edit, now it's gone. I HATE this. I want things left alone so that when I go back, features I expect to BE there, are there. I just want it back without a lot of hassle, and I can't seem to find ANYTHING about it ANYWHERE. To say I'm a little frustrated is a huge understatement.
This isn't a "user dashboard" (it's very hard to understand, that you mean the edit toolbar with this name, so please excuse the questions, no reason to snap :P). From what version to which version you upgraded? Did you upgraded any extension, too? Do you have the extension WikiEditor installed or not (that's important to know, what edit toolbar is missing). Have you any other editing extension installed? Is your wiki public? If yes, can you please give a link to it?
I did a system Fedora Linux update, which I assume updated parts or portions of the media wiki. You ask me questions to which I have no answers; I've no idea what happened, except I lost a very useful part of my software and I only want it back. This is so over-complicated. We simply updated Fedora 21, that's all we told the system to do. That it did. When I went back to my wiki, my "dashboard" was gone. That's what I can tell you. I'm not a geek. This was set up for me, support which I no longer have. Trying to find things on my own has been an exercise in futility. This is proving to be the same.
Sorry, we can't help you, if you don't give us complete information, or at least the ones we ask for :) Maybe it would help, if you give us a link to your wiki, or please give us the information we asked you for. You can check, what extensions are installed on the Special:Version page of your wiki. Another interesting thing would be, if you get an error message in your browsers console (see this ProWebmasters answer to know how to do this).
How did you used to access this "dashboard"?
Does a Fedora update also update MediaWiki?
