moving FAForever folder in C:\ProgramData to another hard drive

Even though I installed the FAF Client in a different hard drive, when I start the client and try to play Co-op games it automatically creates an FAForever folder in C:\ProgramData and starts downloading several gigabytes worth of files. I don't want this folder in my C drive because I'm short on space. Is there any way around this? I want it in different, separate drive that I installed the client in. 173.91.7.95 (talk) 03:01, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Moving by manual modification of the page table

It is possible to move a page by manually modifying the page_title field for a single row in the page table. However, the old title would still appear when viewing the page, so one must purge the cache or do a null edit in order to show the new title correctly. Also, one must manually create a redirect at the old title if desired.

Does anyone consider manual modification of the page table to be an acceptable way of moving a page? Note that "User moved page Old title to New title without leaving a redirect" would not appear in either the logs or the page history. GTrang (talk) 19:29, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

It messes with expectations that the system will have, so I'd be careful with that. But unless it is a User or File, it's probably not terribly problematic and the answer is... acceptable to who ? Also Manual:MoveBatch.php might be a better alternative. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 08:15, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Having caching enabled (specially object cache) can cause the old URL still display the original contents and even the new title display as a red link Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:24, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

yeah purging will be bypassed that way, so also links between pages might be out of date I guess. Again, it depends a bit on what you want to achieve. You are bypassing a system. there might be good reasons to do so, but there are lots of connections depending on a page so you need to understand what you are bypassing and if that is going to affect you. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 09:57, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Im learning Mediawiki and i just installed the extension "Graph" , but after i use an example on a mediawiki page , my page on local host can not be opened if i click on the Template:Graph:Chart link on the picture in attachment. Could anyone please help me to fix this bug ? I used the 3 example on this page : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph/Demo. And now if i click "Edit" on the page, my page can not be loaded , it turns blank

Thank you so much in advance

Disabling #skinswitcher on wikipedia mobile pages

editing via http instead of https

I have an installation of MW v1.32.0 with Apache v2.4.39, MySQL v5.7.26, and PHP v7.1.29 from Bitnami LAMPstack v7.1.29.

I can edit and save MW pages when accessing them via HTTPS but cannot save when accessing via HTTP.

Failing saves produce a server timeout warning page and the changes are not saved.

Is this something controlled by a configuration variable? I have not found a reference to this in the mailing list archive or in a number of unsuccessful Google searches. 73.88.211.150 (talk) 19:39, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Alphabetised titles appearing out of order in category listings

I'm an admin for the Lost Plays wiki, hosted by Folger: https://lostplays.folger.edu

We're seeing a really strange issue where alphabetised headers in category listings are appearing incomplete, with the missing titles re-appearing under their correct header but out of alphabetised order later in the list. MediaWiki 1.30.

For an example, see page 2 of Category:All - https://lostplays.folger.edu/_mw/index.php?title=Category:All&pagefrom=Lost+Muse%2C+The#mw-pages

The alphabetised list continues from page one, which is correctly ordered, starting with L, which is then followed by M, A, N, R, K, T, O, B, J, C, P, E, W, H, Q, U, S, F ... !?

I've run the refreshLinks.php, populateCategory.php and rebuildall.php maintenance scripts, and runJobs.php to clear the job queue, to no effect.

Export Categories as lists

Dear All,

Is there a way to export a list of articles of a certain category?

As the features of mediawiki to produce user shaped lists are limited and demanding, some parsing, comparing and combining of tailored hidden categories would open a workaround to me.

Thank you in advance!

Outputting Matrix Elements in Octopu

Colored text

What is the easiest way to color certain words in a mediawiki page?

If you're rarely going to change colours then probably use inline styles, such as:

<span style="color:green">Foo</span>

If they're repeatedly going to be used, then include such in templates, something like:

<span style="color:green">{{{1}}}</span> AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 22:37, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Search result give 404 error

I'm running MW 1.32, PHP 7.0.33, MySQL 5.6.40 with Vector skin. When is use the built in search, most of the time it works fine. For example, if I search on "Restaurant", I'll get search results and the URL looks like this:

http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php?search=restaurant&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go

But if I put in a search term where there exists a wiki page with the same name, I get a 404 error. For example, if I search on Automobile, I get a 404 error and the URL looks like this:

http://wiki.mydomain.com/http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php?title=Automobile

I have a wiki page called Automobile:

http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php?title=Automobile

For some reason, when my search term matches an existing page, my domain name is listed twice in the URL field.

I think you need to set $wgScriptPath = "/"; not blank Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:23, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Fixed problem by adding

$wgServer = "./";

to LocalSetting.php

I also tried $wgScriptPath = "/"; but that broke everything.

BTW - My wiki is installed in /home/goldthwa/public_html/

and my URLs look like this:

This is how it was setup by Siteground (my hosting provider) back in 2007 Scott216 (talk) 00:58, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Setting $wgServer = "./"; is a really bad idea. Good for you if it works on your configuration, but this is something that should break the wiki in unexpected ways. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:30, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Manual:$wgServer under the heading "Universal value" states: "In situations where a server URL is subject to change (i.e. frequent MediaWiki installation porting, intranet access, etc.), setting $wgServer to ./ will work without causing CSS not to work." Jonathan3 (talk) 12:39, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

That was added by an anon less than 2 years ago. I highly doubt this has been tested thoroughly, specially if you have Pretty URLs like on WMF wikis. It could only work inside browsers where URLs can be made relative, but it won't work in situations where one expect an absolute URL, like on sitemaps, api responses, etc. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 15:27, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

I've removed the "Universal value" section of that page. I've tested it on a wiki with Short URLs (/wiki/Pagename and /w/index.php), and after saving the page you get redirected to literally "wiki/Pagename" without server name nor protocol. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:06, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Any suggestions? Kuhitkuhit (talk) 20:58, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Problem solved. Kuhitkuhit (talk) 23:36, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Can you make certain that your used versions of Extension:MobileFrontend and Skin:Minerva Neue are for MediaWiki v1.32.

• In LocalSettings.php, set the following to get a detailed error message when your site goes blank:

$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgDevelopmentWarnings = true; error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL);

Enabling Parsoid

I've recently installed MediaWiki with Visual Editor. I'm getting an issue where I try to enable parsoid and I get a failed issue: "Bad Message". Everything works as far as I can tell. I check my parsoid on the port I have it assigned to and it comes up with no issues. The wiki works great and the Visual Editor is up but when I try to edit with the visual editor it comes up with a "curl error: 7" error loading from server. The only thing I can think of is the fact that I never actually enabled parsoid even though everything is coming up like it was enabled. I also checked the status of parsoid and it says its running. Very strange and very frustrating.

I'm using:

CentOS 7

PHP 7.2.19

MediaWiki 1.30.2

MariaDB 5.5.60

ICU 62.1

Curl 7.29.0

Visual Editor

Parsoid 0.8.0

I can't provide a link.

Thanks for any help. 24.173.19.226 (talk) 20:23, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

musician pages

Hey is the template wizard not working for some reason? I am trying to set a musician page up using the template but it's giving me an error.

I am not familiar with setting up WIKI pages.... so the simpler the better. Jill Kettles (talk) 21:59, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Hard to say without knowing which exact steps you performed, which versoin of TemplateWizard and MediaWiki you installed, and without telling us the error message. :) Malyacko (talk) 22:12, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

So I need to install the Template wizard ? Is there a good solid process that is posted somewhere? I have tried youtube and the FAQ stuff here but man I just want a step by step.

thankyou!

Jill Kettles (talk) 12:47, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Are you asking about Wikipedia, or your own personal Wiki?

For personal wiki, see Extension:TemplateWizard.

I am trying to publish a musician wikipedia page: like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles

I see the template upload but I wanted to make sure that it's the right way to do it... It seems like it's coded for some reason and not like, drag and drop your info in the right box?

how to change lampp (xampp) repository for mediawiki?

hi ,

my lamp installation that hosts mediawiki 1,32 on the Cenots OS 7 is having problem with overfilling space. (due to some loggs) so I copied over whole /opt/lampp/ into new different file system with more space available: /opt/cloudhost/lampp.

In my /opt I made symbolic link for like:

lampp -> /opt/clouldhost/lampp

I renamed the orginal /opt/lampp hoping the system would use the new location from synonym..

but now the main web page cannot be displayed and showing that it cannot access the database.

What else (confing?) needs to be adjusted to fix it? 192.46.111.7 (talk) 10:28, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Was your database (mysql?) inside /opt/lampp/? Maybe you need to change some configuration in mysql to tell where the files are now, maybe it doesn't like symlinks. Try to look at mysql error logs. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:18, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

How do I move a wiki to another URL?

Deleting old revisions

Is there a way to delete revisions by date? With compressOld.php script, you can optionally put start or end dates. I looked at Manual:DeleteOldRevisions.php, and it seems to delete everything, or just specific pages. Also the description said it deleted revisions from the revision table. In my MySQL database, the "text" table is by far the largest (223 MB), while the "revision" table is only 7.7 MB. Would running the deleteOldRevisions.php script only reduce the revision table size? I'd like to reduce my db size, but it's the "text" table that would make a difference. I've already run compressOld.php, which helped a lot - the "text" table used to be over 800 MB.

Problems with MW 1.32 PageContentSave hook

According to PageContentSave Documentation, since MW 1.32 it is no longer possible to replace the content of a page using the PageContentSave hook. However, I am writing a plugin which is exactly based on this functionality! Is there another way to bring this functionality back?

The documentation also states that I could use Pre-save transforms instead. Do you have a code example how to use it? Pulsargranular (talk) 15:43, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

WikiMedia and PHP Upgrade

I read in the Upgrade Manual to upgrade to MediaWiki version 1.32 that the PHP version should be 7.2. My current MediaWiki version is 1.23 with PHP version 5.23.28. Can I just upgrade PHP to 7.2 and then upgrade MediaWiki to 1.32? 151.165.212.150 (talk) 21:12, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

According to this graph, no you can't. PHP 7.2 is compatible with 1.31+

Compatibility#PHP

I recently upgraded from 1.24 to 1.32. At first it didn't work because I needed to install new version of my skin (Vector), I also needed to modify the LocalSetting.php file to load the skins the new way. One problem I'm still having is with search. If I search using a term that's also a page name, I get a messed up URL like this (domain name is twice):

http://wiki.mydomain.com/http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php?title=Automobile

I'd be curious if you have the same problem. Scott216 (talk) 21:29, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

I think the answer to the original question is Yes. Your website probably won't fully work until you have completed the upgrade process, but it's normal to have to ensure skins and extensions are compatible with the new version. Jonathan3 (talk) 07:53, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Pages not added to Categories (setting wgRunJobsAsync and wgJobRunRate didn't help)

Hi,

I installed MediaWiki 1.32.1 and created some test pages. Furthermore I created Category:Pages with some descriptionary text and added the test pages to categories (inserting Category:Foo in brackets). I can see the categories at the bottom of each page.

When I now try to access Special:Categories the page shows me the categories, but every page has 0 entries.

When looking for the issue, I found several sites which suggested to run the runJobs script which I did. I also set $wgRunJobsAsync = false; and $wgJobRunRate = 3; in my LocalSettings.php. Both changes didn't help. The site api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics&format=jsonfm shows that there are 0 open jobs.

What coudl be the issue here? Do you have other ideas why pages don't get added to category view?

Thanks 2001:4B98:DC0:47:216:3EFF:FE3D:888C (talk) 09:35, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Note that changing settings like $wgRunJobsAsync = false; etc when there are 0 jobs to run won't add the categories back. If some jobs failed completely to work, or even to be queued, due to a bad extension or problem with PHP, they won't get added again.

Anyway, $wgRunJobsAsync is false by default. I suggest to remove a category from a page, enable the debug log (see Manual:How to debug) and then add again the category to the page, and see if there's some relevant error on the debug log. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:38, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Family Setup Config

I don't know how many people setup wiki families but I am asking for confirmation on something. The wiki family documentation is OK but I think lacking some clarity. I have a wiki folder, let's call it mediawiki-1.32.2 and I have short URL's turned on. I opted to go the route where each wiki in my family has its own LocalSettings.php file i.e. LocalSettings_wiki1.php, LocalSettings_wiki2.php. My LocalSettings.php file has code like this (multiple wikis on the same domain):

$callingurl = strtolower( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ); // get the calling url

if ( strpos( $callingurl, '/wiki1' ) === 0 ) {require_once 'LocalSettings_wiki1.php';}

elseif ( strpos( $callingurl, '/wiki2' ) === 0 ) {require_once 'LocalSettings_wiki2.php';}

else {header( 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found' ); echo "This wiki (\"" . htmlspecialchars( $callingurl ) . "\") is not available. Check configuration."; exit( 0 );}

When I used that code directly I had an issue with the CSS not loading at all. It turns out it was because I also needed to do this:

If you use Short URL with the second case (directory based wikis), you need to check the two directories: strpos( $callingurl, 'wiki1', 0 ) || strpos( $callingurl, 'w1/', 0 ), to symlink the sources (w1 -> w), and adapt $wgScriptPath.

The problem is, a DB needs to be connected to for pulling in the CSS. Now my question is, can I change my first line of code to look like below and the other wikis continue to work OK? I made this change and the CSS is now loading for both wikis.

if ( strpos( $callingurl, '/wiki1' )  === 0 || strpos( $callingurl, 'mediawiki-1.32.2', 0 ) )

I'm not fully understanding if the DB is just being used to serve up the CSS or what else I need to do for this to work "right". What won't work right if I go this route and is this even suggested? This seems to be a gap to me in the family setup guide.

My setup is 1 wiki installation hosting multiple wiki's. That is what I am going for here. In each of the distinct wiki LocalSettings files, I have customized their doc upload paths to be unique and for their DB's to be unique. In both wiki's I am just using SQLite for the DB.

Custom special page to manage old pages

Hi, we're wondering how we can manage old pages. We would like to check once in a while which pages of a certain category exist whose last modified date are more than one year ago. We could then ask the owners to validate them to make sure they are always up-to-date. This process is important for some content.

Can this be done with a custom special page? Can I easily create a page that gives me alle pages of a certain category with last modified date between x and y?

Thanks! 81.82.224.91 (talk) 12:56, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare trait OOUI\AccessKeyedElement

Hello, I'm getting the following error after a fresh installation, using the official repository RPMs from Fedora 30, whenever I click on "Preferences" after logging with the first Admin account:

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot declare trait OOUI\AccessKeyedElement, because the name is already in use in /usr/share/php/OOUI/mixins/AccessKeyedElement.php on line 14

I tried to request it again, but it only will do it once every 24 hours. Any suggestions? Does it just take a while for the email to come through?

Tools to Help Manage Wiki

Can anyone recommend a 3rd party tool (even if it's a pay for tool) that helps you manage Wiki's?

For example:

• Upgrading a wiki
• Moviing a wiki to another server
• Backing up a wiki
• Restoring a wiki
• Installation of Mediawiki and it's components on a new server.

PHP Access Question (2nd try with explanation)

Are Github and Phab-something really the only ways to access the dev forum?

Seems like a standard email-username-password ought to be an option Riventree (talk) 18:38, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

@Riventree: What is a "dev forum"? Neither Github nor Phabricator are "dev forums". See Phabricator what Phab is [not]. Malyacko (talk) 04:17, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

I reckon you're referring to https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/ and yeah, they are at the moment the only options. Actually, in practice this means that you must have a Wikimedia account (which you do, Riventree), because you can log into Phabricator as that. Which means it's a two-step process, but does work.

When Discourse makes it into production (i.e. off wmflabs.org) it'll be a one-step thing and you'll still only need your main Wikimedia username.

The reason for not supporting Wikimedia login directly from Discourse is phab:T124691. Sam Wilson 08:36, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

PHP question

Wikibase/Installation

A basic installation of Wikibase is pretty much straight forward and basically consists of 4 steps:

# getting Wikibase

# fetching dependencies

# modifying LocalSettings.php

# running some maintenance scripts.

The latter is not clear to me. I can not figure out.

You write:

# if composer is available as a binary composer install --no-dev # if you downloaded composer.phar php composer.phar install --no-dev # Or use dockerized version (does not require PHP or composer installed) docker run -it --rm --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -v ~/.composer:/tmp -v $(pwd):/app docker.io/composer install --no-dev

How to download all the pages from specific category from Wikipedia?

Hi,

I need to download the text from all pages of a specific category from Wikipedia. So far, I have been using Wikipedia-API from Python and following https://pypi.org/project/Wikipedia-API/ and https://github.com/OliverMKing/CSDictionary_Gatherer/blob/master/search.py to first download the title of pages and then use that to download the text. The issue is, the API gets interrupted within 1.5 hours of running, so I am not sure if I am getting all the titles or not. Is there another way to get all the text and title pages of a specific category so that I make sure I have all of them?

Hi. I have the same problem of a working python script that started getting 403 errors.

For whatever reasons, Wikidata appears to be suddenly rejecting some User-Agents in the HTTP headers. Their own example python queries using the SPARQLWrapper module, which is based on requests, are not working. I got around this by temporarily setting a browser User-Agent like this

sparql = SPARQLWrapper("https://query.wikidata.org/sparql", agent='Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36')

but it would indeed be nice to be able to use the correct, default User-Agent (sparqlwrapper 1.8.4 (rdflib.github.io/sparqlwrapper) like before. 93.33.167.134 (talk) 09:14, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! Alxndrpi (talk) 10:38, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Confirm I am having the same issue for the past couple of weeks and that adding the user-agent header fixed it for me.

Added the following variable to the beginning of my script:

headers = { 'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36'}

And modified my requests from:

requests.post('https://query.wikidata.org/sparql', data = data)

to:

RefToolbar

Hello Please note this picture: w:ru:Шаблон:Интерактивная карта изображений I want this to be my site: https://wiki.sheki.site/index.php?title=%C5%9Eablon:%C4%B0nteraktiv_g%C3%B6r%C3%BCnt%C3%BC_x%C9%99rit%C9%99si .

Advice on Upgrading

I have inherited a MediaWiki site and I know very little about MediaWiki (or wikis in general). I am trying to learn quickly. Joomla and web site knowledgeable.

The site has MediaWki 1.23.9 running under PHP 5.6.30 and MySQL 5.6.41. I see that MediaWiki is at 1.32 and requires PHP 7+ (PHP 7.1 is available on my server).

Can someone suggest a problem free migration path from MediaWiki 1.23.9 to 1.32? I assume I can not just upgrade from 1.23.9 to 1.32?

For example I see 1.30 is the last to support PHP 5.6, so I assume that would be one intermediate step. Are there versions that make database changes I should be aware of? Any knowledgeable guidance would be very welcome.

I see MediaWiki has no "updater" like Joomla for applying updates to itself, so I assume it is a matter of downloading the PHP files and uploading them to the server, possibly running a specific PHP "installer". Are there SQL scripts that need to be applied to the data base directly for any updates? Anpdnd (talk) 15:33, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

See Manual:Upgrading. I don't think anyone can promise "problem free" though... Malyacko (talk) 15:43, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

The PHP question has been asked a lot recently. Maybe someone who knows the answer for sure could add to the Upgrading page. But as far as I know, you just change the PHP version (which may or may not break the website temporarily), upgrade the MediaWiki files to the latest version, and run the update script to change the database etc if necessary. Jonathan3 (talk) 00:36, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Essential changes in versions above 1.29 ?

Your linked page is interesting too. But it contains all release notes. It would be interesting to know the essential changes, which are shown on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Why_upgrade.3F but only up to version 1.29... Stefahn (talk) 13:05, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

I think they are just written to encourage us to upgrade.

I can think MediaWiki_1.30#Action_API_changes has made comparing pages/revisions much more flexiable as a major change. Someone else might think searching for contributions within an IP range at Special:Contributions is quite important. 94rain ^Talk 13:48, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

How to keep session after log in with a bot?

I'm trying to implement a script do download some html pages from my wiki and convert them to pdf. I'm logging in into my private wiki using a bot, trough the API, and getting the login token, but I can't keep my session (using the same token) to do some actions, like download an article html page using wget. We use LDAP authentication in our server, this can be a complication to use bots? Jlvale (talk) 21:20, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

@Jlvale How do you know that you "can't keep my session"? What happens or not? What are error messages or not? Malyacko (talk) 10:58, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Export all uploads

Is there any way to export all upload at once, or I need to copy/paste every pagename to Special:Export ? 2610S (talk) 05:56, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Well, there is Exporting all the files of a wiki, but I think this is way more complicated than what you, or maybe anyone, would need.

The simpler method would be to use the "Add pages from namespace" option in Special:Export. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 08:04, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@AhmadF.Cheema My wiki only gives me the option of Add pages from category, I do not have the option of Add pages from category.

Why is this ? 2610S (talk) 17:34, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Probably need to set $wgExportFromNamespaces to true. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 06:10, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@AhmadF.Cheema exporting the upload pages only exports the pagename, but not the upload itself.

how can I export also the uploads ? 2610S (talk) 19:35, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

All files are placed on the filesystem. MediaWiki doesn't provide an easy way to download all of them at once.

If you have FTP access, you can navigate to the upload directory and download all files. An alternative if you don't have FTP access is to use Manual:Grabbers and use the grabImages.php script. Note however that this script requires a full MediaWiki installation locally. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:26, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

extreme slowness

Hello.There is extreme slowness In Wikimedia projects:All pages open slowly.They work suddenly and then suddenly slow again ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 07:32, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 mediawiki.org is for the MediaWiki software. If some Wikimedia websites are slow then this has to with your internet provider or with Wikimedia servers and networks, but not with the MediaWiki software itself, so this is the wrong place. Maybe https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech or such.

Which exact Wikimedia projects have you tried? What does "slow" mean exactly?

Wondering if this could have to do with the recent problems of the Wikimedia caching data center in Amsterdam (Netherlands) but that depends on where you are located. Malyacko (talk) 10:57, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

About the speed of MediaWiki

Hello, I'm using the MediaWiki. I use mediawiki in vps, but sometimes I experience slow speed.

I've set up mediawiki speed settings (cache, etc.) and I don't have a lot of wiki users.

So I thought this was the server's performance problem, and I asked this question about MediaWiki's recommended specifications.

Tell me what the specifications of the server (cpu, ram, etc.) are for turning the MediaWiki to your liking.

p.s

I use php7 and MariaDB to run MediaWiki in Ubuntu. My MediaWiki version is 1.32. 180.189.102.176 (talk) 14:23, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

How do I install modules

Problem to update MW 1.3 (very Old) until an 1.32

Hello

we have an MediaWiki 1.3 (works with LATIN1!) on an Server with PHP5.3 (!!) and an older mySQL. Now we want to update. We Copy MW 1.3 to an Server with actual mySQL and PHP5.6. (Final-Server PHP 7.2)

I figured we'd have to update to 1.4 first, then 1.5.

Ok ... Server is too new ...

Manually Change Class Namespace-Entrys to MWNamespace. Change DB-Entrys with TYPE= to ENGINE=

1) Update to 1.4 (via console: php update.php) => Works (ok we CAN'T see an webpage-output ... 100+ deprecated errors ...)

2) Update to 1.5 ... First: php upgrade1_5.php ... no errors ... but it kills the db (Umlauts ÄÖÜß; same on filesystems etc.). I think he recognize the wrong charsets in db und change LATIN1 as UTF8 to UTF8 (the "new" names are typical for this error)

How do I get it clean from 1.4 to 1.32? When do we have to switch to the PHP7.2 server in the update process?

I have an problem to understand whats the different between AdminSettings.php and LocalSettings.php (i think this is the reason for my updateproblem...). I've understand that i must fill the AdminSettings with DB-Infos ... more? $wgUseLatin1 = true to adminsettings for upgrade1_5.php? I don't to this in my last "Update-Run" ...

Thank you 84.166.17.147 (talk) 01:17, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Apparently, it's not possible to upgrade from 1.4 to a recent version. You need to upgrade to 1.5 first. This is explained in Manual:Upgrading#How do I upgrade from a really old version? In one step, or in several steps?

I'd upgrade first to 1.4 and 1.5 on the old server (I guess MediaWiki 1.5 supported php5.3 well), then transfer database to the new server and upgrade to a recent version.

Once you upgrade to 1.5, you should check if pages with non-ASCII characters look well. If they do, when transferring database to the new system (or maybe even required for 1.5 to work), you can try to convert the database from latin1 to utf8 exporting the dump, running inconv and then reimporting it, as explained here: http://www.alphadevx.com/a/420-Converting-a-MySQL-database-from-latin1-to-utf8

For information about how AdminSettings.php worked back then, you can check Manual:AdminSettings.php. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:14, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Heythe main-problem is converting to UTF8 - doesn't work.I've updated first to 1.4 (ansi), then to 1.5 (first: upgrade1_5.php, then normal update; both via cli). Upgrade1_5.php kills Umlauts in Filenames ....The bigger Problem: i do this "blind" ... i have only an php 5.6-Server - no 5.3 any more. But i don't have any deprecated-errors @ updateprozess. (view the result via browser don't work - of course ... deprecated-errors). Problem in updatescripts are the Namespace -> rename to MWNamespace und SQL Type= change Engine=.In the manuels stand that i have set $wgUseLatin1 = true ... upgrade1_5 knows then: i must upgrade ansi to utf. AND i think here is something wrong. upgrade1_5 thinks it is utf8 and change tables to utf8 - without conversion -> destroy umlauts ... At my next attempt I will put $wgUseLatin1 = true into the adminsettings. Apparently the localsettings.php are not read by the upgrade1_5.php ... 84.166.22.144 (talk) 11:06, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Logo not showing on main page

I have already looked up the Manual:$wgLogo and my logo still doesn't show. It just show a blank white space but it's clickable.

As you can see this is the default logo

$wgLogo = "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/wiki.png";

I changed that to this

$wgLogo = "/mediawiki/images/myimage.png";

Also tried putting the image in the /resources/assets/ and replaced the wiki.png with my image

Still doesn't show Jhazuuu (talk) 01:23, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Have you followed the recommended size guideline for the logo? If the size is too large, the logo may appear to be blank white space.

If the Wiki is public, it would help if you could provide a link to it. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 06:04, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@AhmadF.Cheema I have read that the appropriate size is 130x130 or 135x135.

Sorry but the wiki is not public. Jhazuuu (talk) 06:35, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

So, is your logo this appropriate size?

If you return $wgLogo, to its original value, does the default MediaWiki test logo show up? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 11:24, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Only PDF file can be uploaded

Hello, I installed a MediaWiki (1.29.3) and tried to enable the file upload function. Following the instructions, I have enable the FileUpload and added the file extensions in the LocalSettings.php:

$wgEnableUploads = true;

$wgUseImageMagick = true;

$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";

$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'xls', 'mpp', 'pdf', 'ppt', 'tiff', 'bmp', 'docx', 'xlsx', 'pptx', 'ps', 'odt', 'ods', 'odp', 'odg');

Interestingly, I can only upload the PDF file without any problem. Any other file type will result in an error page:

=This page isn’t working=

XXX (site name) is currently unable to handle this request.

HTTP ERROR 500

I even purposely changed a picture file "picture.gif" to "picture.pdf" (to trick the system), and it also can't be uploaded. Other types in the extension list don't work. Any suggestion will be truly appreciated. 76.180.181.130 (talk) 03:57, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Upload not working on editor

I am having trouble with uploading images via wikiEditor/ClipUpload/MSUpload combination. I can upload/link to images that were uploaded via Upload File page. ClipUpload had enabled me to copy-paste images into the wikiEditor in the past, but when I try pasting into the editor window now, the message says it is trying to bring in the image, but the process never completes. No explicit error messages are displayed.

I tried looking into the Apache error log, and as soon as I paste something into the editor the error log starts growing with a line that says: "PHP Warning:  preg_replace(): Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 4 in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mediawiki\\includes\\media\\FormatMetadata.php on line 1864, referer: http://172.24.138.188/mediawiki/index.php?title=Sadfw&preload=&redlink=1&action=edit"

The error log kept on growing until I terminated Apache.

I did recently move the Wiki to a new host computer, but I am not sure if this is when the upload problem had started. Any idea how i might be able to troubleshoot this? 162.252.228.5 (talk) 16:06, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

1. Mueve la carpeta de archivos (normalmente la carpeta /images) a la ruta que quieras en el servidor.

3. Luego debes cambiar Manual:$wgUploadDirectory para que apunte a esa nueva ubicación
4. Si cambió la ruta de acceso desde el exterior (punto 2) debes cambiar también Manual:$wgUploadPath para que corresponda a esa ruta (esto es la ruta en la URL, no en el sistema de archivos). Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 08:12, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

mw-render does not embed the WIKI page images in downloaded PDF file

We have configured MediaWiki with mwlib server to render HTML pages to PDF using 'mw-render'.

Following is the 'mw-render' command successfully produces a PDF document for the Wikipedia article page Physics

$ mw-render --config http://en.wikipedia.org/w/ --username='xxxx' --password='yyyy' --output test.pdf --writer rl Physics

But, We need to configure same for MediaWiki so that MediaWiki API could render PDF using following configuration in LocalSetting.php .

We are using LDAP setup authentication for our internal wiki site. and I am able to render the PDF file using the following command.

$ mw-render --config https://wikitest.com/wiki/  --username='xxxx' --password='yyyy' --output test.pdf --writer rl Apache

But, here the issue is, The downloaded PDF file does not includes the images visible in the WIKI page. And throws following ERROR on shell. Any help appreciated.

Simulating chess by using MediaWiki's delete and move features

Has anyone thought of simulating chess moves by using MediaWiki's delete and move features? The idea is to upload 26 images to depict chess pieces and empty squares. Then, one would create 32 templates showing the initial positions of the pieces (e.g. "Template:A1" would show a picture of a white rook), with a parameter for the square color, perhaps {{{squarecolor}}}. Finally, one would create a "Chess" page transcluding piece position templates 64 times, with the "#ifexist" parser function used to show empty squares in lieu of redlinked templates.

Then, one can start simulating chess moves by moving piece position templates, making sure to always uncheck "Leave a redirect behind" on Special:MovePage. When the target page already exists, it would be asked to be deleted, and deletion would then correspond to capturing a piece. The only exception is with the en passant pawn capture, where the move and the deletion may be done in either order. This is also the only time one needs to manually delete a piece position template. Finally, the only time one needs to edit a piece position template is when promoting a pawn. In this case, the edit and the move may be done in either order. GTrang (talk) 21:22, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

interesting idea DannyS712 (talk) 22:34, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

To really see the updated chessboard, one must remember to purge or null edit the "Chess" page for every template move. GTrang (talk) 19:02, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Checking whether two of the requirements for castling (king and rook have never been moved, and the squares in between are empty) are met can be done in the following ways (in MediaWiki 1.32 or later; page creations are not logged in previous MediaWiki versions):

• General
  • Check the histories of the king and rook templates to see whether they contain just the initial creation with no moves.
  • Check to see whether the king and rook templates have edits that are shown as both page creations (rev_parent_id = 0) and "current" (rev_id = page_latest) in the user contributions page.
  • Check the logs for the king and rook templates to see whether they contain just a page creation log entry with no deletion or move log entries.
• White castling kingside
  • Check the logs for "Template:E1" and "Template:H1" to see whether they contain just a page creation log entry with no deletion or move log entries.
  • Check to see whether "Template:F1" and "Template:G1" are redlinks.
• White castling queenside
  • Check the logs for "Template:A1" and "Template:E1" to see whether they contain just a page creation log entry with no deletion or move log entries.
  • Check to see whether "Template:B1", "Template:C1", and "Template:D1" are redlinks.
• Black castling kingside
  • Check the logs for "Template:E8" and "Template:H8" to see whether they contain just a page creation log entry with no deletion or move log entries.
  • Check to see whether "Template:F8" and "Template:G8" are redlinks.
• Black castling queenside
  • Check the logs for "Template:A8" and "Template:E8" to see whether they contain just a page creation log entry with no deletion or move log entries.
  • Check to see whether "Template:B8", "Template:C8", and "Template:D8" are redlinks.

In any case, if one wants to castle, then one must move the king first, and then the rook. GTrang (talk) 14:41, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Adding a size to an image makes the image not display.

Hello, while editing pages on my wiki I noticed that adding a size specifier causes the image to not display properly, and instead shows a small broken image icon with the file name beside it, as if the image was never uploaded. I am putting in the formatting correctly, for example:

[[File:ImageName.png|200px]]

But adding the "|200px" breaks the image (any size does this). I do not know what I am doing wrong. Daintiiyt (talk) 14:07, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

When you specify a size, MediaWiki generates a thumbnail of the image at that size. You probably don't have a program configured to do the thumbnailing, or there's a permission problem preventing MediaWiki to generate the thumbnail. See Manual:Image_administration#Image_thumbnailing Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:00, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Style and mbstring.func_overload Problem

Hello,

I have two problems with my media wiki that I believe are connected. The problem is that sometimes styles and images are correctly displayed and sometimes, they are not. Sometimes styles are not correctly displayed but images are there. Normally I can help it by refreshing the site once or twice. Sometimes after refreshing, I get the error:

MediaWiki does not support installations where mbstring.func_overload is non-zero.

HOWEVER, the mbstring.func_overload is set to ZERO.

If I click on random pages in my wiki often enough, I can reproduce this error after several clicks.

When I call the load.php in the browser I get the message:

/* This file is the Web entry point for MediaWiki's ResourceLoader: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader>. In this request, no modules were requested. Max made me put this here. */

Can anyone here give me a hint where to look for the solution?

Many thanks

Sebastian

Can you link to your wiki?

The load.php calls that are supposed to serve CSS are probably failing. Try adding ?debug=true the the URL of your wiki and then checking using watching the network traffic in the developer tools (usually available via F12).

You should see some requests returning 500 instead of 200. From there, you'll be able to see what was sent back on those requests. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:30, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello Mark,

thank you very much. I had this MIME/ CSS problem as described here. As my server runs on windows, I solved it, creating a new file in wordpad++, including the following lines:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f

RewriteRule (api|load)\.php - [L]

I saved it as ".htaccess" and loaded it in my wiki folder on the server.

It solved the problem.

87.128.97.159 (talk) 09:45, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

It is strange that you are not consistently getting the mbstring warning. Here is the source of the warning which makes it sound like there are multiple servers, not all configured exactly the same, serving up the wiki. Could this be the case?

Next, what is the content of the page when it says the URL was blocked because of MIME-type issues? Is it just that CSS and/or JS is being served up as text/html?

Both of these problems, especially the fact that they are intermittent, seem to indicate that you have multiple servers hosting your wiki and that they are not all configured the same. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 15:40, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Issue with recent changes feed

Can I auto-categorize all webpages with a certain HTML tag?

If you have ReplaceText installed already you could replace <pre> with [[Category:Pre-including-pages]]<pre>. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:20, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't. Is there any other way to achieve that? 182.232.164.217 (talk) 19:22, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

You could write a bot to do what you want.

The ability to do this isn't built into MediaWiki. Installing ReplaceText is your best bet. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:24, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Could you maybe use one of MediaWiki's hooks to add the necessary Category: text to any page which contains the pre tag when it is saved? I think you can add code like this to LocalSettings.php without needing to write an extension (though I've not tried this yet). Jonathan3 (talk) 13:40, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

You could probably add a code snippet to your LocalSettings.php to do this, yes. I would not encourage that because you would quickly end up with an un-maintainable wiki if that were the way you decided to do things. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 15:43, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

It seems less messy than potentially having multiple, identical Category: declarations on pages (one per pre tag) by using ReplaceText.

The code could remove the "Category:Pre-including-pages" text if the pre tag is no longer present. Why would it become un-maintainable? Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 22:38, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

If that approach (adding code to LocalSettings.php) was used every time you want to change behavior on the wiki, you would quickly have a LocalSettings.php file filled with miscellaneous functions. It might work, but it would be much more difficult to maintain over a longer period of time than creating a new extension that encapsulates and organizes the code in a better, more readable, way. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 17:47, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

SVG thumbnail creation Windows Server 2012 R2 IIS 8.5

I'm running MW 1.31.1 on IIS 8.5 with Windows Authentication. I'm running into the problem of not being able to call PHP symlink (\includes\media\SVG.php, line 249), most likely due to permission issues. If I disable Windows Authentication for the site and use Anonymous Authentication, symlink works, but that's not an option. I've also tried adding the IIS Apppool user to list of use that can create symlink in Local Security Polices, no luck. It really needs Anonymous Authentication + administrator-level user. Also, my $wgTmpDirectory is set to a directory inside $wgUploadDirectory and the IIS Apppool user has read/write/modify/execute permissions on the $wgUploadDirectory directory.

Anyway, in SVG.php (\includes\media\SVG.php), line 234, instead of creating a temporary folder in wfTempDir() (lnPath), creating a symbolic link between lnPath and the srcPath (where the SVG file is located) and then provide the rasterize() function with the lnPath, I commented out that whole chunk of code and just provide the rasterize() function with the srcPath. It seems to work and MW can now create thumbnail directly in the thumbnail folder using the uploaded image path (srcPath) rather than the "local copy" a temporary folder in wgTmpDirectory.

My question is, what can go wrong? Not a rhetorical question, I genuinely want to know what the negative effects are. Does the rsvg-policy referenced in line 236 apply? Tommy H (talk) 23:40, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

To answer your question "what can go wrong?", refer back to the gnome url and this comment: "Only allow file: to load other file: URIs from below the path of the base file."

With your changes someone could create a file: URI in an SVG that pointed to any file on the operating system of the server that is in the same directory of the file being rendered and load that file into the output. The change that you commented out keeps this from happening.

I would just try changing the symlink call to a copy call and verify that cleanup of the temp directories still works. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 00:39, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

How to hide Sidebar_Menu links for anonymous users?

In MediaWiki 1.32.0, I have added, just for the sake of comfortability, some admin-oriented links to the Sidebar menu, but these links appear to anonymous users.

How could I hide these specific links for anonymous users (the rest of the Sidebar menu will look the same for everyone)?<br>I thought about selecting a class like ".not-logged-in" but found no such class. 49.230.97.196 (talk) 10:07, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

My guess is that you would need to hide them by id in common.js, and then reshow them using, eg, group-autoconfirmed.js DannyS712 (talk) 10:10, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Have a look at the UserFunctions extension. This is how I do this by checking if a user is anonymous and if yes, do not show the link. [[kgh]] (talk) 10:14, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

I just want to add classes from the menu-edit-page by myself (these will be added to those who are machine-created and already exist). 49.230.62.64 (talk) 17:36, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you all. @DannyS712 your suggestion seems best to me. 49.230.62.64 (talk) 18:02, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

No problem. Do you want me to right up some css for you? DannyS712 (talk) 18:09, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712 no, but thanks for your generosity. I don't use any CSS here; just JS. What CSS would you use? 49.230.62.64 (talk) 18:18, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

It’s easier to hide the elements with plain css, rather than injecting the css with js (assuming that is what you were going to do. If not, then what? I’m curious how else it could be done) DannyS712 (talk) 18:48, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Can you show how to do it with pure CSS? Johnywhy (talk) 21:22, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

@DannyS712 in this case I do it by hiding and unhiding from JS; if there way a body class for anonymous surfing, I would use it to hide the elements only for anonymous users, but there isn't such body class as of MediaWiki 1.32.0 so I must hide and selectively unhide with JavaScript as you suggested. 49.230.62.64 (talk) 23:24, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
