How can i delete the files for ever, which are located in image/deleted

Create new page by Perl via MediaWiki::API

I want to create simple pages in a company-wiki by Perl. In reposetory i found the modul MediaWiki::API - but not a simple example to create a page.

can someone help to me ? JanTappenbeck (talk) 13:10, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

This is really a question for the maintainer of the CPAN module (Jools Wills), but there is an example in the documentation that may help. Note I have not tested this.

use MediaWiki::API;
my $mw = MediaWiki::API->new();
$mw->{config}->{api_url} = 'YOUR-API-URL';
# log in to the wiki
$mw->login( { lgname => 'username', lgpassword => 'password' } )
    || die $mw->{error}->{code} . ': ' . $mw->{error}->{details};
my $pagename = "Project:Sandbox";
my $ref = $mw->get_page( { title => $pagename } );
$mw->edit( {
      action => 'edit',
      title => $pagename,
      text => "Additional text"
} ) || die $mw->{error}->{code} . ': ' . $mw->{error}->{details};

If you try that, does it work? If not, what problems do you run into? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 13:36, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Just to point out: I have tested this script and successfully created a page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hexmode/Sandbox ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 14:42, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

thanks and first i try to login - but get following message:

in other websites the reason will be declare by wrong api.php-url - but when i call the url in browser i get the dokumentation-side like http://www.exotica.org.uk/mediawiki/api.php but with xml source at the beginning and and like:

I created an account on the server and successfully used the script to post to the wiki from Linux. I happen to have a version of Strawberry Perl on a Windows desktop, so I'll try that. But while I do that you might try upgrading your perl installation. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 15:23, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Maybe it complains from the \x{feff} character? It's the Byte order mark that usually start unicode streams... looks like that perl script doesn't support that?

Note that on the browser you see the documentation because the perl script calls the api passing parameters probably in a HTTP POST request, while your browser is using HTTP GET Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:38, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Worked for me from windows, but not using Strawberry Perl -- I didn't try Strawberry Perl -- so I'm pretty sure this is a problem of your version of perl. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 17:07, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

How does translating work?

Good day,

The wiki of whonix.org is using the MediaWiki software, as well as the accompanying language extension bundle with its language selector. However, noone really knows how to use it. And after reading through the guidelines written on the "mediawiki wiki", I still am unable to understand it. As far as I could gather, to translate a page, each section of text needs to be surrounded by the <language> tag. However, doing so simply doesn't work. The tags just appear in the text, as if they would serve no purpose. Also, adding the language selector, by using the <languages /> tag, doesn't work either. Only the homepage, was affected by these changes, however other sites of the forum seem to be unaffected.

If someone would be able to explain, what I'm doing wrong, I would be more than thankful.

Have a nice day,

Ego 178.114.20.135 (talk) 15:51, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Good day,

I've just had a nice chat with some on the IRC chat. They recommended I should try copying the contents of a page where it does work on a page where it doesn't, to see, whether it would then work. Sadly, the answer is no. No matter what we do the language selector seems to be weirdly selective (no pun intended) about where it works and where it doesn't.

If someone could help me with this, I would be more than grateful.

Have a nice day.

Ego 178.114.20.135 (talk) 17:22, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Approved Revs: Allowing the creators of a page to approve their own content

Hello,

First I apologize if this seems to be a repetitive question however, I have been searching and testing numerous things for a few weeks now. My organization is currently using the ApprovedRevs format of MediaWiki which I understand means that users with Admin/Bureaucrat permissions can approve newly created wiki pages as well as any/all revisions. However, the amount of approvals is getting rather big as more and more of our organization is taking advantage of this wonderful tool so we would like the creator/owner of a wiki page to be able to approval revisions themselves. We do NOT want everyone to be given admin/Bureaucrat permissions as to avoid users going to other pages they did NOT create and editing them whether accidently or on purpose. I have implanted many commands and lines of syntax to try and allow this including the below lines however, I can not seem to get the desired results. Can anyone assist? Thank you very much, Jaison

$egApprovedRevsApproveLatest = True;

Some Special Pages lost after server migration

So I very recently migrated a decent sized wiki (around 20k edits) from one server to another and something weird must have happened during the db restore that I lost a few special pages (only special pages as far as I can tell).

The problem is that a lot hapened in between and I already had a lot of edits after the migration which I wouldn't want to lose if the db was to be restored again,

The pages are:

Special:RecentChangesLinked

Special:NewFiles

Special:ListFiles

Special:Redirect

These appear completely blank (not even side menus) like there was nothing on the server. I had nginx setup on the old server because it was a temporary migration to deal with a huge wave of traffic and when we moved back to the old server nginx was disabled, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

The wiki is still using media wiki 1.24, I wonder if upgrading to 1.25 would patch these pages and fix them? Or if my only option is to restore the db completely

Thanks in advance 2001:8A0:6A43:7801:B05D:3C00:C9D1:70AD (talk) 16:54, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi ho!

As to what you write, I do not see a database problem. If you do not have any other problems with the database, then the DB should be fine.

The special pages in fact are programmed in PHP - they are not inside the database. A blank page (click me!) points to a PHP error. Activate error logging in PHP and check the error log to see, what is actually going wrong there.

Taking the above into account, I guess that a MediaWiki upgrade should most likely not fix the blank pages. MediaWiki 1.24 will still be supported until November 2015. However, if you ask me, running the most current version is a good idea - if you want to upgrade, make sure that your PHP version is at least PHP 5.3.3 or newer. And make sure that you have a working backup of all your files and of the current database. 88.130.69.182 (talk) 02:15, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Those special pages aren't stored in database dumps. Your database is probably fine.

The key sentence of your post is this one:

These appear completely blank (not even side menus)

This indicates that your server is running into errors. See these trouble-shooting tips for a blank page. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 02:16, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

(Im the OP) I was worried about the db being corrupted because after restoring the db the first time after the migration there were some content page missing, for example the main page was entirely missing (but the menus were there) and a lot of revisions had the error "2 past revisions appear to have not been found" or something around those lines, so I restored the db a second time and those first issues appeared to be solved but the blank pages didnt, so I was worried it could be the same problem. Glad you pointed out the blank page thing, I will try to look into that and report back if I run into any more problems. Thanks Kanecow (talk) 16:25, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi please try reinstalling mediawiki 1.24 or upgrade to mediawiki 1.25 to see if that fixes the problem. Just re copy mediawiki 1.24 files by re downloading and copying the files to your website to see if it fixes the problem. But please make a backup before you do that.

Installing infobox problem

You need to upload images to your wiki, or enable InstantCommons

For other templates you need to import as well. Of course, if they make use of other extensions you'll need to install them, or remove the functionality that depends on that extension. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:32, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

You downloaded the PNG representation of the SVG image instead of the SVG itself. If you're getting the image from commons, like File:Example.svg, you should click on the image, or the "original file" link, to get the SVG file. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:22, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

I know it has been a year, but I was searching for the answer and came across this question. Here is what I've found.

You need to get a context object and use that to get the user. If all else fails, you can use RequestContext::getMain(), but often objects that you're dealing with will have a better context for you.

For example, if you have an Article object, you'll be able to do the following:

$user = $article->getContext()->getUser();

Hi!

The path name /var/www/html/wiki/ obviously is correct; according to the error message, this path is where your wiki is installed.

Please check, if the file /var/www/html/wiki/includes/specials/SpecialAllPages.php exists. Is it missing?

If it is there, then most likely the permissions of that file are incorrect. The webserver user must be able to at least read that file. 88.130.122.12 (talk) 21:27, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

The file is there, but has a small "p":

SpecialAllMessages.php  SpecialAllpages.php

So I changed "p" to capital "P" and now it works :-)

Thank you! Bari007 (talk) 06:55, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

That's nice to hear!

My guess is that case-insensitively overwriting files with the same name and the case-sensitivity of the new filesystem caused this.

I think you should be able to avoid this kind of problem, if in the future you upgrade MediaWiki by putting the new MediaWiki files into a new folder (as opposed to copying them over the old files). 88.130.122.12 (talk) 10:15, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

So you are now running MediaWiki 1.25.2 on PHP 5.4?

The sourcoe code of this extension is here:

https://github.com/wmde/Diff

Obviously, when the Extension:Diff is installed, this extension cannot find some of its classes. 88.130.83.8 (talk) 10:25, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, but Diff doesn't seem to be the problem. Yet,

the socket_create error is because this PHP function is disabled by your system administrator. Although MediaWiki should probably check for it instead of failing so badly.

The problem about missing field is because you haven't followed Manual:Upgrade, specifically the part about running the upgrade script. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:03, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Basically I need the system admin to re-enable the PHP function and since the wiki (wiki.voteforthegirls.us) is on a section of a wordpress site (voteforthegirls.us).

I have tried all SSH utilities and none of them do the trick. Nsgaeverine (talk) 07:53, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Apparently the wiki simply doesn't work so I have decided to effectively move the wiki to a new URL as follows since my web hosting provider is GoDaddy:

OLD WIKI:

NEW WIKI: (This has cPanel hosting)

But still have run into serious problems though and likely ask for someone for assistance on getting things transferred. Nsgaeverine (talk) 14:51, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

404 error on main page links, but not on sidebar links

For some strange reason, only on the main page, internal links are build differently than anywehere else. An internal link like should look like www.carteamuntilor.ro/index.php?title=xxxxxx and so it does on any page of the wiki, except on the main page where it links to www.carteamuntilor.ro/enciclopedie/index.php?title=xxxxxx, although in the page content is the same way of building them (2 square paranthesis).

Also the WikiSeo extension does not work on the main page, but it works on any other page.

It can be observed here: http://www.carteamuntilor.ro Sorin.sfirlogea (talk) 13:22, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Hmmm... Going into edit mode of the main page and just saving it with no modification removes the problem... Now the issue is gone. What could it be? Sorin.sfirlogea (talk) 13:24, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Fatal error "Class 'DatabaseBase' not found..."

Hello there! I'm trying to upgrade my MW from 1.15 to 1.25.2 version.

I followed the Upgrading Manual but I encountered some errors of type "Exception" (Exception encountered, of type "Exception"...) when I run the update.php.

That happened both using "wfLoadExtension" and old "require_once".

So I temporarily decided to not import old extensions (by comment the lines in LocalSettings.php).

The installation page (mydomain/mediawiki-1.25.2/mw-config) finally started and I added the $wgUpgradeKey to LocalSettings.php.

Nevertheless I encountered another error:

Fatal error: Class 'DatabaseBase' not found in /web/htdocs/MYDOMAIN/home/mediawiki-1.25.2/includes/installer/MysqlInstaller.php on line 154

Where did I go wrong? What I have to do to fix the problem?

Thank in advance and forgive my very poor English. Ruster1969 (talk) 17:05, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Changing The Logo On The Top Left Of My Mediawiki Pages

I used to have Mediawiki v.1.16 and I hot linked a Photobucket image to my wiki to display a logo on the top left of each page. Since then I've updated to v.1.24 and believe that it's now possible to display an uploaded wiki image in that position.

In simple terms (please) what is the procedure for removing the hotlink and displaying an uploaded image. Seedier Wiki (talk) 19:54, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

What do you mean with "hotlinked"?

Anyway, he recommended way of changing the logo is this:

In your LocalSettings.php file, set $wgLogo to the path of your logo file. See Manual:$wgLogo for more information! 88.130.83.8 (talk) 21:02, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

I have added an example to Manual:$wgLogo. Jörgi123 (talk) 21:07, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Just to clarify. Previously, in order to display a logo on my Wiki pages, I had placed a direct link from my Wiki to a file hosted by a photo hosting site (Photobucket). I'm guessing I would need to remove this link before setting $wgLogo to the path of my preferred logo file? Otherwise I would potentially have two instructions to essentially do the same thing. A problem I have is that I cannot remember where I placed the direct link to Photobucket. Seedier Wiki (talk) 18:46, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

If you are using the Vector skin, then maybe you have added the image to skins/Vector.php or to the according PHP file inside the Vecor skin, if you are using a newer version of MediaWiki. If that is the case, you should remove this hack again.

Another possibility is that you used a hook; in that case you will almost certainly have the according lines of code in your LocalSettings.php file. 88.130.105.145 (talk) 19:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Error on linking files from public folder

Using Oauth I get E003 error

And I can't ". You'll need to contact the application author for help with this." ... :)

So, I am trying to use node passport, with the module written to support mediawiki login. And in effect it makes three calls:

callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:30005/auth/mediawiki/callback",

 requestTokenURL: 'http://v-ghost.port0.org:8081/dbfswiki/index.php?title=Special:OAuth/initiate',

 accessTokenURL: 'http://v-ghost.port0.org:8081/dbfswiki/index.php?title=Special%3AOAuth%2Ftoken',

 userAuthorizationURL: 'http://v-ghost.port0.org:8081/dbfswiki//wiki/Special:OAuth/authorize',

As far as I can tell this is inline with the requirement. And as far as I can tell it works up to a point. More specifically, it gets the token http://v-ghost.port0.org:8081/dbfswiki/index.php?title=Special:OAuth/initiate

It then goes on to authenticate (either to the ID I am already logged in as, or I get a login prompt, so that SHOULD mean that http://v-ghost.port0.org:8081/dbfswiki//wiki/Special:OAuth/authorize works.

But I then get the following error message:

Sorry, something went wrong. You'll need to contact the application author for help with this.

Unknown URL, E003

However, I do not know which URL this is, or where it's trying to read it from, and I can't find any error on what E003 means, and I do not know if there is any tracing options somewhere that I am missing. The callback is set to 127.0.0.1:30005/auth/mediawiki/callback

This is the same as callback url for the token.

Any suggestions what I can do about this issue? 86.176.111.244 (talk) 13:40, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

And I did run a trace as well, did not tell me much

So one step forward (one step back). After much fiddling about I think I found the issue.

Where as I thought it was the callback URL that was the issue, it turns out it was the authorisation URL that was wrong. passport-mediawiki-oauth seems to have added the OAuth twice

/dbfswiki/index.php/Special:OAuth/authorizewiki/Special:OAuth/authorize?oauth_token=&oauth_consumer_key=449c71620457972e86ef20e083ccb87b

Fixed this in the module code, only to be faced with a new issue, I know get a accept box, (application ... wants basic rights, and when I press OK, I get a There is problem with your input) 86.176.111.244 (talk) 09:50, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Your file is corrupt. Download MediaWiki again and unpack it on the server directly, instead of copying file by file over FTP Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:16, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

What the problem here is depends on your MediaWiki version:

According to the manual (Manual:Page_table#page_links_updated), if you are running MediaWiki 1.23 or newer, then the database table page should have a column named "page_links_updated.

So: If you are using an older version of MediaWiki, then this column should not be used (as it in fact should not be there).

If you are using MediaWiki 1.23 or newer, then the column in fact should be there. 88.130.105.145 (talk) 17:52, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. This was after updating to 1.23. I am missing that column on my page table but I'm not that experienced with MySQL. When I tried to add the column it gave me an error. 47.16.220.101 (talk) 14:34, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Maintenance: Generate thumbs for standard sizes?

I use a few standard thumb sizes (e.g. all articles use the same standard size, galeries etc.).

I'd love to generate thumbs for them via maintenance script.

Background: I have plenty of webspace and spare CPU power. Generating the thumb son the fly takes quite some while, esp. on dynamic galeries.

I found no maintenance script or extension for it :/ Subfader (talk) 21:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Multiple installs using single set of files

Hi, I'd like to set up something similar to editthis.info where different projects are located at different sub-directories like example.com/cats and example.com/dogs. So far I've got NGINX set up this way:

location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
        }

        location @rewrite {
                rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php;

}

There's the php-fpm stuff at the end, but that's pretty standard. For LocalSettings.php, I've got:

if (file_exists('../sqlite/'.$project.'.sqlite')) {
      $wgDBname = $project;
      $wgSitename = ucfirst($project);
      $wgServer = 'https://example.com/'.$project.'/';
      $wgArticlePath = '/$1';
      $wgScriptPath = '';
  } else {
      echo 'Project does not exist';
      echo $project;
  }

But things are getting really weird... could anyone help me with this unorthodox set up? I'm not sure how editthis does it, but I'm running into issues of redirects and general messiness. Primer19 (talk) 06:04, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

I now get as far as getting asked to authorise the oauth application for the user on a screen that reads:

Once I press Allow, I get the same box, but with the statement

"There are problems with some of your input."

But no info as to what the issue is. Not certain if there is any logs or similar that might tell me what the actual issue is, have looked at the standard ones, including the debug log (can't debug the actual window as its a pop up box, not certain how I would debug that).

Hook on thumbs creation complete?

I can't find a hook for when thumb creation is complete, so I want to hack core.

Which function is the last to handle thumb creation so I can grab the full path of the newly created thumbs?

I hope this includes thumbs created by $wgUploadThumbnailRenderMethod. Subfader (talk) 12:01, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

getTransform and doTransform() of MediaHandler is the last 'central' function for thumbnail generation. From there it basically depends on the media and the available render methods that are available. Most logic is in Bitmap.php, which contains common code for GD and ImageMagick transforms but there is a lot more. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:16, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Spam

Hi, I have a problem of spam on Speedypedia and I had to protect the English version with a password. How can I delete the spam from the database and why do I see all the spam in "recent changes" even after I deleted all the spam from tables user, page and logging? The spammers created about 200 users and 250 pages, how do I block bots from adding spam to this website? I added a math captcha but it didn't block the spammers, and they all have email addresses. Will it help if I will prevent users from adding articles until they confirm they email address? I don't want to block disabled users and that's why I don't want to put another captcha which computers can't read, is there any other solution to prevent spam? I read all the article about spam in MediaWiki but I don't want to make it too hard to real users to create an account and edit articles, what can I do?

If you want to see Speedypedia in English, send me an email and I will send you the password. Uri Even-Chen (talk) 15:06, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

See Manual:Combating spam for a start. Subfader (talk) 17:28, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

I already read it. I'll appreciate if you answer my specific questions above. Especially how can I delete the spam from "recent changes" and will it help if I will require users to confirm their email address? Uri Even-Chen (talk) 04:55, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

IRC I once used an extension to delete users by name and all the pages they created. But I don't remember which it was.

Undoing edits on pages you want to keep may be manual work only.

Recent changes: If you just want a clean list again you can set $wgRCMaxAge to 1 day and raise it by time going by.

Access-wise I use this strategy:

• Enable editing only for registered users
• User registration:
  • Email is optional
  • Captcha is required (Extension:ConfirmEdit#QuestyCaptcha) > It's a fan wiki so I use random images with persons and the user has to write the surname. Kinda restrictive but unsolvable for bots and less annoying than re-typing or calculating captchas! Subfader (talk) 13:26, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Your message suggests that you have deleted content directly from the database... well, you should be dong this unless you absolutely know what are you doing. Your wiki may have now inconsistencies, inaccessible pages or orphaned text entries on the database. Instead, you should use Extension:Nuke or other methods already discussed on the combating spam page. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 15:10, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I deleted the spam directly from the database, tables user, page and logging. I didn't find any other way to delete 200 users and 250 pages in 5 minutes. Uri Even-Chen (talk) 15:42, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Need help creating a page utilizing categories

First of all, I am not what you would consider an advanced user of Mediawiki. I have been working with it for a few years, but have never really dove into categories

I am trying to create a Wiki page dedicated to categorizing Community names, sorted by US state. However, I can't quite get categories to work the way that I would like to.

Example of what I am not trying to accomplish as seen here: Category:Category

See how it puts the letter "A", B.... and then something underneath that? If the "A" could be replaced with for example, "Alaska", and then list existing page names in alphabetical order that I have put a category tag into, that would be great.

I would also like the ability to utilize the category tag on the bottom of an existing wiki page to then display in alphabetical order under the appropriate state and not have to manually insert a link under "Alaska".

Here is a link to a PDF to illustrate what I am trying to accomplish: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz4qfV-a8tqAQWRUNUJXeWxWWkU/view?usp=sharing Any help would be greatly appreciated and if I am going about this the wrong way, please recommend what I should be doing.

For reference, we are currently running Mediawiki Software version 1.23.2. I am trying to get my admin to upgrade to the newest version.

Unable to add new skin

Thumbnails suddenly not showing

Hey all

I recently migrated my mediawiki install from dev to production, everything went smoothly and it worked with no issues.

Yesterday I went back to the wiki after a few weeks to finish up some work. when I noticed the thumbnails are missing.

It shows:

Error creating thumbnail:

Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/El3RLqM.png

But that's it. I checked other similar threads here and tried some solutions but none of them worked so far

I've already tried adding to my localsetting.php:

$wgMaxShellMemory = 524288;

$wgFileExtensions[] = 'svg'; $wgAllowTitlesInSVG = true; $wgSVGConverter = 'ImageMagick';

as well as

error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

Additional specs: Mediawiki version 1.25.1, PHP 5.3 and running on a VPS (Ubuntu)

Any help to finding a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers! Rusty mtl (talk) 22:49, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Add this:

$wgTmpDirectory = "$IP/images/temp";

in localsettings.php

If that didn't work, create the subfolder "temp" in your /images folder as well. 220.255.3.185 (talk) 07:59, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey thanks for responding!

I did both and still nothing. Rusty mtl (talk) 15:20, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

That's weird. I had the same issue on the same mediawiki version but in my case that worked.

Did you Update the MediaWiki database by executing the update.php maintenance script after adding the code and the sub folder? 220.255.3.185 (talk) 15:42, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

I ran the update script again, and even updated my web server. stil nothing.

I uploaded a file, and the thumbnail worked no problem, looks like its an issue with my server pulling from Commons?

Your InstantCommons is still configured to use http instead of https. Wikimedia is no longer accessible from HTTP however.

See also: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T102566

Either use the fragment in the description to temporarily patch your configuration, or update to a newer version of MediaWiki. 1.25.2 should have this fixed. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 19:25, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Autoblock - Automatic reset

Hi. Could somebody please clarify an issue regarding Autoblock expiry after 24 hours, as Autoblock is not clear on the issue. It states that:

"There is an internal autoblock expiry time variable, $wgAutoblockExpiry, which is set to 24 hours, meaning that autoblocks only last for 24 hours."

Does that mean that the autoblocking function will only be active for the original underlying IP for 24 hours, or does it mean that users who become autoblocked will only be blocked for 24 hours, or both?

In the following situation:

• Oct 1st - User:Bob is blocked indefinitely, with autoblock enabled
• Oct 8th - Bob creates a sockpuppet (User:Jane) using the same IP as he used on the 1st

Given that there was no activity from the IP address for a week, will User:Jane be autoblocked? TigerShark (talk) 16:44, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

When I run maintenance/runJobs.php half of the entries are "enqueue Main_Page":

Hide Text from certain users?

Is there a way to either hide text on a page from everyone other than a certain user group - or (my main preference) to set the talk page so that noone other than that user group can even see the page? 2601:405:4000:B96B:7D57:7544:B115:BF78 (talk) 03:59, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

On English Wikipedia they do something like that. Several classes are defined that hide content wrapped in those classes

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css

/* Hide stuff meant for accounts with special permissions. Made visible again in
   [[MediaWiki:Group-sysop.css]], [[MediaWiki:Group-accountcreator.css]],
   [[MediaWiki:Group-templateeditor.css]] and [[Mediawiki:Group-autoconfirmed.css]]. */
.sysop-show,
.accountcreator-show,
.templateeditor-show,
.autoconfirmed-show {
    display: none;
}

and the various mentioned MediaWiki:Group-* pages have CSS that 'unhides' content only for that user group. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 19:40, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

This is an ancient post, but I just came across it when trying to solve the same thing. I documented how I set this up on our wiki, thought it might help the next person trying to do something similar. In a way I think the info would be better off on this page so others can add to the knowledge, but I don't know the process to get that started. Here is the link.

Mediawiki suddenly stopped woking

The last time checked my MediaWiki page wiki-joke.com I received the error "internal error. Exception caught inside exception handler. Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information.". I proceeded to add

the required code. However, when I added the code when I went back to my site the site went totally blank. I removed the code and my site is still totally blank. I need to fix this error quickly as my my thousands of viewers will be very disappointed.

Including a "tags" feature in MediaWiki

I would like to be able to include "tags" on a MediaWiki site that would lead users to other pages that deal with the same topic. The only way I can see to accomplish that is to create the tags as links that target the site search. The result would be that clicking the tag would take the user to search results arising from a search on that tag. Is there a more elegant way to get a similar result?

Can't save links with "and" or "or" in the display text

If I try to make a link display "and" or "or", I get a 403 Forbidden message when I try to save the page:

You don't have permission to access /rccwiki/index.php on this server.

However, if I use an ampersand, it works fine. I'm new to using mediawiki so can't tell if it's on their side or if it's something within PHP, but would really appreciate any help.

For reference, this fails:

but this goes through fine

Some major regex error somewhere as if you hacked Parser.php.

It appears only on "(text) and (num)".

To find which extension causes it you could disable all extensions, check and enable each by each.

Parsing problem

So this code line

<code><code>{{</code>ébauche | ''vénètes'' | ''gaule'' | …<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

{{ébauche | vénètes | gaule | …}}

becomes this on my wiki. (Follow the link to the screencap)

Template for span tag doesn't work as expected

I copied WP's Template:Color to my wiki. It works as expected within a single line, but if I put two line breaks in the second parameter (making two paragraphs), only the first one is colored.

Here's the template:

<span style="color:{{{1|}}}">{{{2|{{{1|}}}}}}</span><noinclude>
  {{documentation}}
  </noinclude>

Here's the text:

{{color|green|Here's one green paragraph.
  
  And here's another.}}

Here it is on Wikipedia, where it makes this HTML:

<p><span style="color:green">Here's one green paragraph.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:green">And here's another.</span></p>

And here's how it shows up on my wiki. It makes this HTML:

<p><span style="color:green">Here's one green paragraph.
</p><p>And here's another.</span>
</p>

I can kinda guess how it gets there, but how can I have it do The Right Thing, as it does on WP?

Unfortunately, it's not publicly accessible. P₁h₃r₁e₃d₁₃ (talk) 01:37, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

The real issue is you're trying to use multiple paragraphs inside a span, which is invalid (spans are inline, paragraphs are blocks, and blocks aren't allowed inside inline elements).

The reason it "works" on WP is they have $wgUseTidy enabled, which mangles the HTML to make it valid. 137.147.180.136 (talk) 04:10, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Ah! I'll see if we can get $wgUseTidy enabled, thanks.

That seems to be the proper method on WP, so I guess there's not a better way? A template that would apply a class or inline style to all paragraphs within it? P₁h₃r₁e₃d₁₃ (talk) 18:29, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, turned on $wgUseTidy and no change to the HTML or appearance. I even waited overnight to make sure it wasn't some kind of caching. Any other ideas? P₁h₃r₁e₃d₁₃ (talk) 16:37, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

I can only guess that because WP is using a newer version of MW that changes something, or they're using a newer version of tidy.

My only suggestion would be to make a separate template for block level coloring (using div instead of span). 137.147.180.136 (talk) 12:56, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Based on this, maybe Tidy is not installed by default? Or its default config file is bad? There's really no info on how to set it up. P₁h₃r₁e₃d₁₃ (talk) 17:46, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Mediawiki sends wrong password

Hi!

Everytime I registrate a new user including the option to send a random password, the automatically created password is wrong. But when I send an e-mail with a new random password (to changing the user's password), this temporary password is OK. Although I searched for similar problems, I couldn't find this specific issue.

Hello,

I understand that your father is driving a Renault and that there are technical isues with that car.

This is the support desk for questions regarding MediaWiki, the software used to run wikis like Wikipedia. We are not associated with Renault or with some guys, who might run a Renault Wiki.

I recommend asking your Renault dealer for help - if someone should know how Renaults are working, it's him! :-) 88.130.119.122 (talk) 22:35, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

JSON error and upload failure with UploadWizard

You could do it with the createAndPromoto.php maintenance script, or you first assign the userrights right to the group your user belongs to (I assume "user"), give yourself sysop rights (through Special:UserRights) and remove the userrights right from "user".

Help:Trying to get MediaWiki again going (backup MediaWiki 1.13.3)

I had a MediaWiki site a long time ago. Back then I used MediaWiki 1.13.3 and I want to revive the site. I installed MediaWiki 1.13.3 and connected it with the database. After that I got the following error;

Database errorA database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:(SQL query hidden)from within function "Article::pageData". MySQL returned error "1054: Unknown column 'page_counter' in 'field list' (localhost)".

What does this mean and how can I fix it? I didn't practice a lot lately with MySQL, so I am not sure what to do, without making it worse than it is now. Your help will be appreciated, thank you! Config006 (talk) 15:46, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

I installed now MediaWiki 1.20.8 and it looked good, but then it said the following;

A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading? See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Run_the_update_script

Query: SELECT page_id,page_namespace,page_title,page_restrictions,page_counter,page_is_redirect,page_is_new,page_random,page_touched,page_latest,page_len FROM `database_page` WHERE page_namespace = '0' AND page_title = 'Main_Page' LIMIT 1  

Function: WikiPage::pageData

Error: 1054 Unknown column 'page_counter' in 'field list' (localhost)

I retried upgrading it by using the web upgrade, but it didn't fix the problem. Thanks Config006 (talk) 16:15, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T40451#427892 might have a patch.

Please run supported software. Both 1.13 and 1.20 are ancient and insecure nowadays. Malyacko (talk) 08:51, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Just paraphrasing the error message: Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading? Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:32, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

If you run the web updater and this script ended with errors, then I would not be sure that your database after that is in a good state. It may be that the update applied a part of the necessary queries while it failed on one of them. This leads to inconsistency in the database. It is possible that running the updater again cannot fix that (and that the updater will not throw an error informing you about this problem).

I recommend this:

- Delete the database and restore it from backup.

- Do not use MediaWiki 1.20.8. Instead, download MediaWiki 1.25.2 and use that version (needs PHP 5.3.3 at least).

- Run the update script again. Our page Upgrade has a complete guide - if you have shell access, it is recommended not to use the web updater, but to run update.php from the shell. 88.130.70.247 (talk) 12:08, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Update:

I have installed MediaWiki 1.25.2. I have restored it from backup. No errors at this moment, but the problem is; I don't see any content. I didn't upload any other maps or files than Images. I am afraid when I upload the rest that it will give errors again. Which files do I need to upload to my FTP? Apparently I need to upload other files instead of only linking the database with the software? Thanks for your help! Config006 (talk) 16:17, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

"Not seeing any content" is somewhat vague... if you mean the wiki looks like a clean install (there are no pages besides the main page, you can check Special:AllPages) then you probably created a new database instead of importing the old database.

Language inconsistency at "Create account" - de-formal

Some weeks ago, my wiki (www.liturgica-notata.uni-goettingen.de) was upgraded from 1.19 to 1.23.10. After testing some of the functionalities, I discovered that there is an inconsistency on the page "Benutzerkonto anlegen" (Create accout). I use de-formal, and most of the text fits this (for example "bitten wir Sie, die folgende Frage zu beantworten"), but on several places this is not the case ("Gib unten deine Informationen ein", "Gib deinen Benutzernamen ein", Gib dein Passwort ein", "Gib deine E-Mail-Adresse ein" und "Liturgica notata wird von Menschen wie dir geschaffen"). One of the system messages concerned seems to be "createacct-benefit-heading"; I will try to change that manually, but I think that should be provided by the software in the right language-version, and I can't see at a glance which system messages will be concerned also. LiturgicaNotata (talk) 07:04, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if I've understood correctly, but if you want to correct the interface message for all MediaWiki installations, you can do that on http://translatewiki.net/ Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:42, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

What Ciencia says is right.

However, I have just checked that on a version 1.25 wiki and at least there the default translation on page MediaWiki:Createacct-benefit-heading/de-formal is correct.

Does translatewiki.net provide support for different branches? I think it does not, right? 88.130.105.9 (talk) 22:41, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

See de, de-formal, and qqx. Shirayuki (talk) 01:52, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

It doesn't, but you would have to confirm with @Siebrand or @Nikerabbit ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 01:58, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

If translatewiki.net does not support different versions, then a new version of the 1.23 branch, which contains the latest translations, would solve the issue. If translations are not updated in older branches, then the solution is as easy as upgrading. In 1.25, the problem is solved. 88.130.120.102 (talk) 16:54, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

*sigh* Upgading is not that easy, at least not with my wiki, since it is hosted by the university computing center, and maintaining the wikis is not their top priority, it seems. I notified them I think in April or March that 1.19 will only be supported till May, and they managed to do the upgrade to 1.23 in September or so. I think they will stay with 1.23 as long as possible because that is a long term support release.

I was not sure if there was something mixed up in the upgrading process, some system messages taken from de, some from de-formal. But if you say some system messages are just not translated, then I will have to translate them myself. Is there an easy way to find out which system message produces which part of the page (link: http://liturgica-notata.wiki.gwdg.de/index.php?title=Spezial:Anmelden&returnto=Hauptseite&type=signup)? I have just looked into the source code, but there all the text on screen looks also like normal text in the html output. But perhaps your eyes see hints for the system messages where my eyes don't... LiturgicaNotata (talk) 08:54, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, see Help:System message#Finding messages and documentation Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:23, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Dear Ciencia Al Poder, thank you very much, that helped me find the messages I needed. I changed those and some more I found at first glance at the page Spezial:MediaWiki-Systemnachrichten. I will add a list of all the messages I changed, in case that helps someone to prepare a translation for all users in the next update for 1.23. I tried the link "Übersetzen" (Translate) on the special page, but to me it wasn't clear what to do next, so I'll leave it that way. The changed messages are

php Version not correct?

MediaWiki 1.25 internal error 
MediaWiki 1.25 requires at least PHP version 5.3.3, you are using PHP 5.4.45-0+deb7u1. Installing some external dependencies (e.g. via composer) is also required.
Supported PHP versions 
Please consider upgrading your copy of PHP. PHP versions less than 5.3.0 are no longer supported by the PHP Group and will not receive security or bugfix updates.
If for some reason you are unable to upgrade your PHP version, you will need to download an older version of MediaWiki from our website. See our compatibility page for details of which versions are compatible with prior versions of PHP.
External dependencies 
MediaWiki now also has some external dependencies that need to be installed via composer or from a separate git repo. Please see mediawiki.org for help on installing the required components.

Escaping before inserting into database

Hello,

I am using the database wrapper functions used in MediaWiki (Manual:Database access).

In the manual, it says "We provide a query() function for raw SQL, but the wrapper functions like select() and insert() are usually more convenient. They can take care of things like table prefixes and escaping for you under some circumstances".

My question is, what do they mean by "under some circumstances"? When will my data be escaped when inserting into the database, and when won't it? Thanks :] 146.175.202.30 (talk) 11:10, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Infobox tables - linebreak handling

Hundreds of bot registrations every hour

Hi, I am fairly new to mediawiki and definitely not a hacker. I have had my wiki installed for a few months, and all of a sudden I started getting between 1-15 registrations every minute. Some of these were able to edit and add pages, so I had to lock everything down. Users now have to register with a CAPTCHA, confirm their email address and add themselves to the editor group in order to edit. I didn't really want to do it that way but it was the only way to stop the spam. However, there are still hundreds of registrations every hour and I had to turn off email notifications because they send me a 'Mail undelivered notice' every time. The bot seems to be bypassing the registration process completely, and they aren't able to spam the site but it's really not functional to have so many fake users. There's so many I can't even weed through them. Any advice for this? Thanks! Nicolerpm (talk) 00:02, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Which exact MediaWiki version is this about?

In general, Manual:Combating spam and I wonder if API:Account creation in combination with API:Restricting API usage could be also relevant here. Malyacko (talk) 07:21, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

It is version 1.25.2, I believe that's the latest version. I've read the Combating spam article and it seems as though the only viable option that I haven't done already might be to restrict a block of IP addresses, however, I don't currently have a way to see the new user's IP addresses as far as I'm aware. Right now the new user doesn't generate a user page which would indicate their IP. I'm guessing that might be a dead end anyway because I doubt that they would be predictable enough to block, but I think I would have to get an extension like CheckUser? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The API: Account creation article could be helpful. I'm not really sure where to start though. It seems like Nocookiesfornew would be an error code that would be stopping the creation of new accounts.

I now have 1500 new users since yesterday. I keep restoring from a backup to clear it out. Is there a fast way to clear out all the users? Nicolerpm (talk) 15:31, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

If the backup, which you have, contains the whole database (e.g. as a database dump), then it might in fact be easiest to just use the backup from yesterday then.

What you should restrict is the possibility to create new user accounts: Depending on what usecase you use MediaWiki for, take this option away so that unregistered users can no longer create user accounts themselves. Or set up some kind of restriction during user creation (like a captcha, which actually does its job). 88.130.120.102 (talk) 16:51, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

It would be highly inconvenient to have to manually create user accounts for the purpose of this wiki, which is to be accessed but university students and other groups. I am using QuestyCaptcha for registration which is asking a question that only a human can answer. This bot is bypassing even that. I am going to go to my host and see what they can do for me too. Nicolerpm (talk) 17:34, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm wondering if you are you sure that QuestyCaptcha actually works correctly on your installation. Malyacko (talk) 06:48, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Also, be sure that, in case you upgraded, you haven't left the old installation accessible from somewhere else, which might be accessed by the bots instead of your new installation. That would not be the first time something like this happens. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:38, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Cannot upload files in a certain laptop

Hi My company uses wiki to share project documents. I'm just one of the users access to company wiki web site and I cannot upload any file from my laptop. But I can upload the same file from the other laptops with my user ID. I tried uploading a file from Chrom and IE both, the result is the same. From Chrom, I see the error page with the message code 'ERR_ACCESS_DENIED', from IE turns to the page with a message something like 'cannot display web page'. The most weird thing is that I can upload any file which size is under about 500kb. But this is only happening in my laptop. I can uplaod any file under 10MB with my ID from other laptops. So I think problem doesn't occurs from my company's wiki set-up, but from my laptop. My IT team operating wiki couldn't find a reason for this.

Would you please guide me how to check and solve this issue? Veronica Jeong (talk) 23:06, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, the server is rejecting the upload data, so this is something that needs to be looked at the server. Maybe they have custom access restrictions based on IP addresses or something like that.

In search of a search extension

Hello there!

I was wondering if there was an extension tht would give me a sitewide return, but unlike the one in the package, rather one that would have a slightly more controlled content size.

When I do a standard search, I only get the first few words of each results, but I would need a result that returns a prequalified parameter, like, instead of getting, as one of the results "the fox ate the chicke.........." I would get "the fox ate the chicken that escaped from the farm" because the editor put that whole sentence in between <parameters></>.

Or at least a result page that would have a minimum number of words, like say 30

I will be administrating a wiki that is in a dictionary form and whole sentences are needed as a search return.

Could anyone help please?

I've search the extensions pages, but I have neither found it or maybe because I don't know the jargon...I'm very new to wikis

Upgrading from Mediawiki 1.15.1

I am currently in the process of upgrading an old mediawiki site on a shared webhost that I don't have direct access to the servers. I also have never touched mediawiki before.

Want to validate the steps I have to see if there are any additional steps I should do or missing

1. Make copy of wiki site
2. rename wiki site folder site to site-1.15.1
3. make backup of mysql database using phpmyadmin
4. create folder called site
5. copy files from downloaded copy of mediawiki-1.25.2 into site folder
6. copy over LocalSettings.php along with any images used for site
7. copy over .htaccess file
8. go to site.com/site/mw-config/ to upgrade site
9. Test and validate

My rollback for this is going to be restore the backup using phpmyadmin and then rename the site-1.15.1 folder back to site.

Are there any issues with this that I might run into? Should the LocalSettings.php file be compatible? 216.252.194.205 (talk) 17:32, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, looks good.

What you are possibly missing is:

- Does the wiki use extensions? Check the folder extensions/ for files and folders and the file LocalSettings.php for according include/require statements. Extensions need to be updated as well.

- If the wiki uses special skins (check the skins/ folder), then these will need an update as well.

Depending on the size of your database and the speed of the server, you might get a timeout during the database upgrade (your step 8). If that happens, you have to consider the database to be broken. You then have to delete the database, restore it from backup and upgrade it again. Running update.php on the shell (instead of using the web updater) will prevent that problem.

Apart from that your steps should be complete. See also Upgrade for a complete tutorial.

In case of errors it is always a good idea to check the PHP error log or to activate error display inside the wiki pages so that you see, what is going wrong. See how to debug for more information! 88.130.95.138 (talk) 00:51, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Prevent newlines from closing lists

Consider the following wikitext:

*<div>A
B</div>

My intended HTML markup would be the following:

<ul><li><div>A
B</div></li></ul>

But instead I get the following:

<ul><li><div>A</div></li></ul>
B

The result is the same if instead of a <div> I use a <span>, <blockquote>, <pre> or any other markup I tried. It looks as if the parser gives a lot of priority to the list items. Isn't there a way to prevent the newline from closing the list items? For technical reasons I want the content of my list items to span several lines, while keeping the proper HTML markup. For example, the following would NOT be a solution, because even though the output would appear right, the markup wouldn't be:

*A
:B

MediaWiki has a javascript function built in for this. See ResourceLoader/Modules#addPortletLink. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 20:49, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

That adds it to the sidebar not the tab... Stargy (talk) 01:38, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

I asked someone else who finally gave me the code for this (javascript), this is what I added in MediaWiki:Common.js:

Add a custom tab after "Discussion"

var ul = document.querySelector(#p-namespaces ul");//finding the list

var newLi = document.createElement("li");// creating a list item

newLi.innerHTML = '<span><a href="[insert external link]" title="[insert title]">[tab name]</a></span>';

ul.appendChild(newLi);//adding list item to list

Add a custom tab after "View history"

var ul = document.querySelector(#p-views ul");//finding the list

var newLi = document.createElement("li");// creating a list item

newLi.innerHTML = '<span><a href="[insert external link]" title="[insert title]">[tab name]</a></span>';

ul.appendChild(newLi);//adding list item to list 72.219.238.198 (talk) 22:51, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello there

Would you know where I could find this JS you edited please, I just can;t seem to find it :(

Thank you 92.15.242.136 (talk) 23:12, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

it's http://yoursitename.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js

of course, only site owner should be able to edit it. Stargy (talk) 01:09, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Stargy, I appreciate.

I followed the link on my wiki (I own both wiki and site), and copied and pasted your code on that page but all I get is a copy of the text, no action on the menu has taken place.

I feel so inadequate here with wiki language, I know css and html, but wiki stuff is real new to me and instructions here are so jargonic.

Thank you though 92.15.242.136 (talk) 19:09, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

If you're the wiki operator and can install extensions, you could also use a server side method. Create a new extension (e.g. using this Manual) and add a hook listener for the SkinTemplateNavigation hook. As a hook handler you could use the following code to add a new tab after the discussion (or to be more precise: after the last tabe of a page) tab:

public static function onSkinTemplateNavigation( SkinTemplate &$sktemplate, array &$links ) {
    $links['namespaces'][] = array(
        'class' => 'test', // a css class, if you want
        'text' => 'Testtab', // That's the text visible to the user, you might want to use a message key, instead of a hardcoded text
        'href' => 'test', // That's the link the tab will redirect to, when clicked
    );
}

Help adding map

I have added an osm map to my page but cannot get the coordinates to show the correct map.

I wish it to take the coordinates from the lat/lng I have stated on the template.

how do I get this to work?

the map its showing is not the one it should be. Gmdesignuk (talk) 05:15, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

You could probably do that easily with Extension:Widgets and adding a widget with the embed code for OSM, giving lat and lon as variables Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:39, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

No. I guess I misunderstood the question :)

So you want to make a reference of a parameter used on a template on the same page? That's not possible.

First, you would need to say from which one of the templates used on the page get the parameter (and you can have the same template multiple times!). And that would be very unreliable. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:20, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

other wikis have maps that use map references on their page to display maps so it is possible.

but i just cannot figure it out myself 86.28.140.107 (talk) 16:59, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

the map code could be placed on the master template it does not need to be placed on the same page as the coordinates 86.28.140.107 (talk) 17:01, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

#time ParserFunction

In Wikidata, time values with precision year are stored in the format yyyy-00-00T00:00:00Z. The #time parserfunction seems not to be able to interpret this value. For {{#time:c|2006-00-00T00:00:00Z}} it returns 2005-11-30T00:00:00+00:00. Is there a way to fix this problem? Pasleim (talk) 07:20, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Not easily. PHP simply doesn't consider that a valid date time. And #time is directly mapped onto that function. You will therefor have to resort to parsing the string with lua or something. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 14:18, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

Hi,

I migrated a mediawiki solution from Windows to Debian (and from MediaWiki 1.16 to MediaWiki 1.25)

The application works but i'm not able to edit or save a page which exceed certain limits. If i write too many characters, i get an ERR_CONNECTION_RESET error in Chrome and the same with Firefox. I increased memory cache in PHP.ini but it doesn't do anything. I tried to check Apache log but even in Debug mode, nothing appears.

i use PHP 5.4. Do you have any idea? What should I check?

Thanks for your help. Pikar60 (talk) 12:53, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

A connection reset is very weird, because it's not a failure at the HTTP level, but at the TCP level.

This is usually caused by a PHP bug, that causes the PHP engine to crash badly, usually a segmentation fault. Look at the server's error log (usually at /var/log/apache2/error.log in Debian) for more information.

If the problem were memory, you'd still see an error message of "Allowed memory size of XX bytes exhausted", or just a blank page.

If the problem is segmentation fault, that's usually hard to debug and can be caused by a bug in PHP or a PHP extension (like a PHP opcode cache/acceleator). Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:21, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

Thanks for you answer. I change the HTTP LogLevel to debug. Now, i can see these errors occur when I have a connexion reset.

[info] [client 192.168.0.22] Request body read timeout

[debug] mod_deflate.c(700): [client 192.168.0.22] Zlib: Compressed 313 to 229 : URL /index.php, referer: http://wiki.url.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js&action=submit

But these errors doesn't appear at each connexion reset :/

I increased values in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/reqtimeout.conf it doesn't change anything

I don't have opcode installed. I have exactly the same configuration files (apache2 and php.ini) on both my Test server and Production server.

Test server works correctly but it is installed in a different network.

It doesn't have a cache accelerator installed on the server. (like opcode)

When we have a connexion reset a TCPDump shows these kind of info.

[TCP Suprious Retransmission]

[TCP Dup ACK]

[TCP Retransmission]

My network admin tells it's an issue from the server.

For info :

PHP Version in production server : 5.4.45-0+deb7u1 (apache2filter)

PHP Version in test server : 5.4.39-0+deb7u2 (apache2handler)

Do you think, it can change something? Pikar60 (talk) 10:25, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

This is interesting: [info] [client 192.168.0.22] Request body read timeout. So the server sees like the client times-out...

Maybe the problem is not PHP/apache, but the network. Something between your machine and the server is losing or mangling packets. Or maybe the server's NIC is buggy. If it were a segfault, it will be seen as such in the logs.

Try the tcpdump also on the server and compare results. That may be the key. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:31, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

The error PHP Warning: filemtime(): stat failed for ... doesn't seem to be the cause. It may indicate a missing file but doesn't seem to be required at all. It may have a fallback to en.json.

The error End of script output before headers seems to be typical when PHP is executed as a CGI script. You should turn on the display of PHP errors, see Manual:How to debug.

Why a Colon Before Category: Links?

Random "File not found" error

I installed mediaWiki in a folder under my Apache home - lets assume the folder name was enciclopedie and I was accesing it at http://123.123.123.123/enciclopedie/. After testing and deciding that this is what I need, I made a different folder - carteamuntilor.ro - and I moved the wiki files from folder enciclopedie to the folder carteamuntilor.ro, keeping the same database (MySQL on localhost). I am now accessing the mediaWiki instance at www.carteamuntilor.ro (domain and DNS entries are configured at my registrar). The problem that I'm having is that randomly some links are not working properly because instead of pointing to

www.carteamuntilor.ro/index.php?title=some_title

they are pointing to

www.carteamuntilor.ro/enciclopedie/index.php?title=some_title

If I go to editing the page with the wrong links and just save it without any modification, links are changing to the correct URL, but it might occur again later with no apparent reason. I have no ideea how to fix that.

You can see an example of this issue here. See the wrong links in Munți section (containing the folder enciclopedie in the URL) while everything else has the correct URL. If you click on a wrong link it will generate a 'File not found' error. Sorin.sfirlogea (talk) 20:39, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

What is your $wgScriptPath set to? Also, have you checked your Apache configuration? Malyacko (talk) 07:36, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

$wgScriptPath = ""

Can't see anything wrong with Apache configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/carteamuntilor.ro

ServerName carteamuntilor.ro

ServerAlias www.carteamuntilor.ro

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/carteamuntilor.ro

AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

</Directory>

</VirtualHost> Sorin.sfirlogea (talk) 14:50, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

This happens because pages are cached in the parser cache, with the previous URL scheme. This is fixed itself whenever someone edits that page (even a null edit).

I think you can use $wgCacheEpoch to force this cache to expire. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:49, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

I introduced the $wgCacheEpoch in LocalSettings.php and the problem seems to be solved. Let's hope that is for good. Thanks, Ciencia! Sorin.sfirlogea (talk) 20:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Coming back with this topic, unfortunately. Latest evolutions:

• still got the problem, randomly, although $wgCacheEpoch is in place
• what I noticed is that I just need to open LocalSettings.php file for editing, change nothing, just save it and the problem is fixed

But the issue appears again, later. Sorin.sfirlogea (talk) 10:48, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Help with multiple Wiki structure

I'm building a videogame community website that will also include Wikis for several games. The website should have one users database which will be used on all Wikis as well as the other areas of the website (discussion forum, etc.). I'm planning to use Mediawiki as the main framework behind this website, as the Wiki aspect of the website will be one of the main features.

I have no prior experience with Mediawiki, but after looking around I've found several helpful pages on this topic. Mainly: Manual:Shared database and Manual:Wiki family.

I have come to the conclusion that I will have to use the following structure for my website:

-----------------------------------------------

Main Wiki (Will serve as the core of the website, includes the main database for all registered users and additional website features, also includes links to all the Sub Wikis)

- Sub Wiki1 (Contains Wiki for a specific game)

- Sub Wiki2

- Sub Wiki3

The folder structure will be like this:

DomainName.com <- Main WIki

Domainname.com/Sub_Wiki1 <- Sub Wiki1

Domainname.com/Sub_Wiki2 <- Sub Wiki2

Etc.

-----------------------------------------------

Basically, I want the user to log in once and have access to all Wikis located on the website without having to create additional accounts on the Sub Wikis.

1. Is this the correct way to build a website with a structure like this?

2. Will following the instructions on these pages allow users to log in to the Main Wiki and use the same login session on all of the Sub Wikis?

3. Upon editing a page on one of the Sub Wikis, will that event be shown on the profile of the user (Located only on the Main Wiki)? Same question for all other user events on the Sub Wikis.

I really want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction in building this website. I wouldn't want to find out later in the process that my whole foundation is bad and needs to be rebuilt from the start.

Thank you for reading. 92.110.165.206 (talk) 05:18, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Could you elaborate why you want to set up several wiki instances instead of just one wiki which would be way easier? I have not seen any argumentation for that yet in your posting. :) Malyacko (talk) 07:29, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey Malyacko, thank you for your reply.

I want users to be able to search the invidual Wikis without having results from the other Wikis showing up. Also, the games are quite similar and will contain similar page categories. (for example: Equipment category) If there was just one Wiki, then this category would quickly get cluttered with Equipment from several games, which is what I want to avoid. As far as I can tell, this is the best option to achieve that.

Do you think there is a better way to do this? 92.110.165.206 (talk) 11:05, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Discussing content of English Wikipedia articles needs to happen on English Wikipedia (like the discussion page of an article), not here on mediawiki.org which is for software related discussions. Malyacko (talk) 08:44, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Texture Cache? - Point clouds from textured models

Hi,

I am using CC to produce dense point clouds from textured models. My texture size is 8192 x 8192, however these are reduced down when importing into CC

"[OpenGL] Image is too big to fit in texture cache! Reducing it to (4096 x 4096) for display!"

How can I change the texture cache to allow higher resolution textures?

What is "CC"? Are you sure your question is related to MediaWiki? Malyacko (talk) 08:42, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

How do we keep out "the unwanted" stuff?

Here we see false Users being created every day. And when I try to see Recent Changes, all I see is user creation logs. How do I keep from seeing that & how do we prevent them from creating spam user accounts? ~ Jeydo (talk) 23:48, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
