Topic on Extension talk:Lingo

By default, the terminology page is "Terminology" for an English-language wiki, "Terminología" for a Spanish-language wiki. To change this default page, the parameter $wgexLingoPage must be defined in LocalSettings.php and set to the desired page.

I instaled Lingo and added two terms the first time to my Terminology page, and all went fine. But when i tried to add more terms, they don't work, it seems as if the extension just doesn't see them. I tried deleting the content of the page and even removing and reinstalling the extension and nothing happens. What can I do?

Perhaps there is a syntax mistake on the Terminology page? Could you verify? and if you don’t find any error, copy here a minimal Terminology page with the issue and/or give a link if it is a public wiki.

Also, I see Lingo does not support difference of case (see phabricator:T123961), so for instance if you enter the definition

Bug

A default in a software

The word « bug » will not be highlighted by Lingo since the definition has a capital "B".

The terms I entered are always written in lowercase in the articles, that is, exactly as they are in the Terminology page. I followed the syntax as it was on the extension's page here on the MediaWiki. Here's my terminology page.

I was not able to reproduce the issue on a test wiki (MW 1.37.1 + your Lingo version 74e31cc indicated in Special:Version), but given you customized the Lingo terminology page, did you change accordingly the parameter $wgexLingoPage to MediaWiki:Lingo-Terminología (NB the "ex" after "wg", it’s unusual for a MW setting) in LocalSettings.php?

No, I didn't change any parameter. I only checked in MediaWiki:Lingo-terminologypagename to know the name that the page should have, since my wiki's language is Spanish.

This is perhaps the issue: by default the page for terminology is Terminología; if you want to use MediaWiki:Lingo-Terminología instead, it is possible but you have to set $wgexLingoPage = "MediaWiki:Lingo-Terminología"; in the file LocalSettings.php.

You're right!! I moved the content of MediaWiki:Lingo-Terminología to Terminología, and tho it's kind of annoying having that page in the main namespace, it worked! Thank you so much!

I’m glad it works. I close the topic.

This same issue has happened to me.

I am running a local private mediawiki and SOME terms are not "working". i.e. no tool tip is displayed.

Product	Version
MediaWiki	1.37.0
PHP	8.1.2 (apache2handler)
MariaDB	10.4.22-MariaDB
ICU	70.1
Lingo	3.1.2

Tried with Terminology page and specifying a "Glossary" page in settings.

Any ideas?
