How to create a Main Page like Wikipedia with colored boxes?

I can't find the codes or info anywhere on how to created boxes with text on them that have colored backgrounds, and can be placed in columns (like two side by side for example).

This limit about the size of the submitted article is fixed by $wgMaxArticleSize to 2 Mio, which is already quite big, but if you want to increase it, you can change this parameter. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 10:28, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Problem

How can I upload a File via a Put/Post request?

Is there a way (especially with c#) to Put/Post a binary file to the Server?

I currently can succesfully receive .png and .xml files but would like to also write to the server.

I have added a real hard drive folder and gave the permissions access/upload to "anyone".

When I try to e.g. Post to "http://<sererIp>/Folder/Filename.png" I always get a 404 error. If a file "Filename.png" is already there, it says "Fully downloaded" but the file doesn't change at all.

What am I doing wrong? 212.204.121.235 (talk) 15:05, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

You have to use the API to upload files (see API:Upload specifically), you cannot simply POST to some path. You can check API:Client code for client-side libraries, it seems there are some code in C# and even one specifically for uploading files (I let you check if it correspond to your needs). ~ Seb35 [^_^] 18:44, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Putting a custom Map into the Wiki

Hi,

i have a Wiki for my Table Top Role-playing group. I got a map of the hole Gameworld and would like to integrate it into the wiki not just as an image but as an interactable map. There are already some solutions like Extension:Kartographer, but they only do that for the real world. Is there a extension that works like this but with my own image or a way to get my image into one of these Extensions that normally only work with real maps.

You should contact the administrator, they should update the wiki or at least the extension ConfirmEdit (containing the captcha). The extension says that other captcha types should be used instead. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 19:07, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Parsoid: using wt2html on several MediaWiki pages

Hello,

I'm trying to convert several of my MediaWiki pages (all belong to the same project) from Wikitext to HTML. I found Parsoid and downloaded all the materials and found the parse.js code has a wt2html option. How do I properly implement it to automate Wikitext to HTML conversion?

I've also tried using a GET request, but it seems I applied the wrong parameters. I tried to follow the format displayed in the parserTests.js code, but it didn't work.

Please help! Emske (talk) 02:11, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

For GET requests, see Parsoid/API. I’m not sure if Wikimedia has a public Parsoid to test, but if you have your Parsoid, the URLs are something like http://127.0.0.1:8142/wiki.example.org/v3/page/html/Main_Page/1 (the Parsoid needs to be configured for a specific MediaWiki installation, here without explicit 'domain' neither 'prefix', only the 'uri').

Also note the result is not classic HTML but enriched HTML for consumption by the VisualEditor (there are more tags and attributes than in classic HTML), see Specs/HTML/2.0.0. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 08:22, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

No SVG when importing templates from mediawiki using Special:Import

Hi,

v: 1.31.1

so I set up MediaWiki and it works fine. Now I wanted to export Template:Note, Template:Warning and Tempalte:Warn from the MediaWiki page. I included templates and all revision and importet it in my wiki. The pages work but there seem to be no SVGs.

E.g. /index.php?title=Template:Warning looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/71nIs9k

I don't really know what I missed. 188.60.72.147 (talk) 13:01, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

you will need to download the SVGs separately and upload them with the same name on your personal wiki.

Size of objectcache table

In old MediaWiki versions (like 1.19) the objectcache table used to grow without any limit.

Now I run MediaWiki 1.27.5 and the objectcache doesn't change much. One year ago it was 16 MB, today it's only 11 MB (with 500 articles and 50.000 users per month).
On another wiki the table has only 1,5 MB.

Is that normal or is there something wrong with caching on my server?

In my LocalSettings.php I use:

$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE;
$wgMemCachedServers = [];
#$wgCacheDirectory = "$IP/cache"; // no cache directory

Stefahn (talk) 09:40, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

As the name of the constant suggests, CACHE_NONE will not cache content. With this value, the table is probably used only for storing the session data of your users, nothing more.

Read Manual:Caching for more information. You probably want to set $wgParserCacheType to CACHE_DB. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:20, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Hide search box on Main_Page

Hi! I'm running v1.31 and trying to hide the search box on the main page only. I have the following code in my MediaWiki:Common.css but it doesn't work:

body.page-Main_Page.action-view h1.firstHeading, body.page-Main_Page.action-submit h1.firstHeading .p-search { display: none; } 62.96.213.62 (talk) 11:34, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

you are hiding the first heading, and you are hiding the search box within the first heading. Since the search box isn't within the first heading, it's not hiding it. You are also targeting the classname p-search, but p-search is an element ID.

This is likely more accurate:

body.page-Main_Page.action-view h1.firstHeading, #p-search { display: none; } —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 12:13, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

This would hide the search box eveywhere. To hide it only on the main page, it would be something like:

body.page-Main_Page.action-view #p-search { display: none; } ~ Seb35 [^_^] 13:28, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Consider that if you have language-specific wiki, then you must use localized name, e.i. no "Main_Page" but "Hauptseite" in German and so on.

body.page-Main_Page #p-search { display: none; }
works too. Many useful tips on similar topics can be found in https://www.hostknox.com/knowledgebase/706/How-to-remove-the-Search-block-the-Navigation-and-Tools-menus-and-menu-links-in-MediaWiki.html Ency (talk) 15:11, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks TheDJ! That worked but it hides the search form on all pages... hmmm...

p-search appears as both an id and a class: <div id="p-search" class="p-search navbar-form" role="search"> 62.96.213.62 (talk) 13:29, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Keeping a user logged in across multiple wikis

Hello,

I'm looking to keep a user logged into their account across two separate wikis. I already have the user table shared (it's stored in the database of one wiki, the other accesses it). What's the easiest way to go about this? I gave the $wgCookieDomain variable a shot, but it broke the login process. It's possible I was just using it wrong though.

Thanks! Garuda3 (talk) 15:30, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

That’s complicated, and as far as I know there is no simple way to do that. Wikimedia uses Extension:CentralAuth but it’s quite a work to set it up. You can have a look also to other similar extensions in Category:User identity extensions; there was also Extension:CASAuthentication but it was unmaintained (and also heavy machinery). ~ Seb35 [^_^] 14:40, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! I may try CentralAuth, but I'm pretty busy at the moment so I will probably wait until end of semester, so if I break something I will have time to fix it. Garuda3 (talk) 10:55, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Copied wiki from 1 Raspberry 3.0 to another. "Error creating thumbnail"

I think the db came over correctly to the backup RPi: All the pages and tables look correct.

I believe I used tar correctly to copy over all the images in both /usr/share/mediawiki and /var/lib/mediawiki.

Demande d'aide pour BdD connaissances sur MédiaWiki

Bonjour, et merci à @Framawiki

J'ai effectué le 1er WikiMOOC et j'ai suivi avec succès le MOOC du Web sémantique sur la plate-forme FUN...

Je me suis lancé dans un défi qui est devenu mon "rocher de Sisyphe"...!!! Mettre dans une base de type MédiaWiki l'ensemble des "connaissances" d'une communauté associative de ''philosophes praticiens amateurs'' Cette base est une somme de type documents "papier" (cours, biblio,...), documents numérisés, documents audio, documents vidéo. Pratiquement tout est référencé par nos soins.

1/ J'ai voulu tout d'abord monter un démonstrateur pour moi-même sur mon PC : téléchargement de la version 1.30 et de certaines extensions à partir d'une "ferme Wanpserver" et création des 1ers articles. Réussi sauf que tous les modèles de Wikipédia ne fonctionnent pas (compatibilités LUA ???)...!!!

2/ Hébergement et versement sur OVH avec l'aide d'un collègue dans le but de faire fonctionner tous les modèles et l'accessibilité via nos 2 smartphones : la 1er offre appelée Kimsuffi (hébergement mutualisé) a permis d'améliorer le résultat mais ne permet pas visiblement de faire fonctionner tous les modèles (notamment le binaire LUA !?! ). Je me suis renseigné pour passer à l'offre supérieure (VPS) pour améliorer le taux de récupération des outils WP et l'efficacité globale...

3/ Mon collègue et moi n'ayant pas toute la connaissance du moteur MédiaWiki ni des extensions possibles, je recherche une communauté française qui aurait cette expertise car nous avons des demandes de fonctionnalités (base possédant 4 espaces différents ayant des accès différents suivant le username et privilèges ad hoc, hiérarchie des articles de type "poupées russes", graphe des liens internes inter-articles, mis en pl:ace d'hyperliens avec des documents de type Office ou OpenOffice éditables hors wiki et qui seraient logés sur le site hébergeur,...)

4/ Je me suis posé très tôt la question d'une solution type "web wiki sémantique", mais, non spécialiste, je n'ai pas pu décider si le projet le nécessitait... notamment pour l'utilisation de chaque source qui, "saisie individuellement une seule fois", est réutilisable à tout moment...

5/ Le but du démonstrateur est de faire le point sur notre cahier des charges afin de démarrer un projet qui tienne la route.

Peux-tu (pouvez-vous ) m'aider à trouver cette communauté STP (SVP) ?

D'avance merci,

Guy, Guy6631 (talk) 11:20, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Je sais que OVH est un provider francais, mais "BdD" ou "Wanpserver" ou tous les autres choses, qu'est-ce qu'ils sont? (Et quelle "communaute" exactement? T'as pas pose des questions, mais beaucoup des choses t'as fait ou essaye... :) ) Malyacko (talk) 12:41, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

• BdD connaissances = Base de connaissances (exemple type : Wikipédia)
• Wampserver  ? = plate forme de développement Web. Voir le site : http://www.wampserver.com/

Je recherche une communauté de spécialistes MédiaWiki (français !!!) qui pourraient m'aider à déboguer les dysfonctionnements, à rechercher des options ou des modules ou extensions ou gadgets ou fonctionnalités beta écrits pour MédiaWiki (utilisés ou non sur Wikipédia !) qui nous seraient utiles et à compléter mon démonstrateur...

ImageMap bug, sourcecode gets parsed incorrectly?

Hey,

there's a bug in the ImageMap extension, can someone help me to fix it or create a workaround?

An example of the bug can be found here. The first few lines of this paragraph are linked to the image used in the ImageMap at the right side, for whatever reason. At first, I suspected a missing bracket or other character in the used template, but the template code is fine. I also tried substituting the template into the article, the source code looks correct:

Eine Besonderheit im Vergleich zu den Vorgängerspielen der Super Mario Bros.-Serie haben die Welten: sie sind nun alle auf einer Karte. Es gibt somit keinen Weltenauswahlbildschirm mehr, stattdessen geht man von einer Welt in die andere. Dieses System wurde zuerst in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' verwendet. Möchte man von einer Welt in eine andere gehen, so kann man entweder die direkte Verbindung oder die Röhre benutzen, die es in jeder Welt gibt. Man hat sie aber nicht von Anfang an frei.

However, the first few sentences still get linked to the image used in the ImageMap - something must get parsed incorrectly here.

How can I fix that, what causes that problem?

I'm using MediaWiki 1.25.1 here, the ImageMap extension has no version number, but was installed a long time ago and was never changed. Don't kill me for using such an old version, I took the wiki over in summer, and I'm going to update it (and finish the design) when I move it to my own server, but I need to wait until I get better internet, which will hopefully in a few weeks, since my current connection is too slow to transfer several gigabytes of data between servers, and the old server doesn't support SSH, which means I can't establish a connection between the two servers for a direct data transfer. 188.118.240.132 (talk) 14:32, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

mariowiki.net is using an old and unsupported MediaWiki version.

For what is worth, I had the same problem on wikidex.net on 1.29, but it fixed itself when I upgraded to 1.30, so I bet upgrading your wiki and extension to at least 1.30 should fix the issue. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:11, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Error when trying to edit

For a while now, when trying to edit our wiki, we get the following error message:

How to perform a POST request to convert several pages from WikiText to HTML?

Hi,

I'm trying to perform a wikitext to html conversion for several pages. The GET request displayed everything in html, but is there a way to retrieve the html code? I thought perhaps the POST request would work, but I keep getting an error when performing the following:

http://localhost:8000/localhost/v3/transform/wikitext/to/html/Sandbox

Givers me the following error:

Cannot GET /localhost/v3/transform/wikitext/to/html/Sandbox

localhost is my domain, and Sandbox is the page I'm trying this out on.

Also, is there a way to automate this for when I perform this on several pages?

Thanks! Emske (talk) 17:58, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

What is your usecase?

Wikitext to html sounds to me like you should actually be using the API! :-) 2001:16B8:106D:A500:6CE0:F1A:DC54:7A34 (talk) 18:09, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

What do you mean by use case? I'm just on a local server testing out/getting familiar with Parsoid in preparation for a large MediaWiki conversion to HTML (which should lead to an easier conversion to something else going forward). My Sandbox page is just my testing ground. Emske (talk) 19:36, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

The thing is that the MediaWiki API can parse a page and give out the HTML. There is no need to manually convert the wikitext - MediaWiki already can do that. See API:Parsing_wikitext for how that works! 2001:16B8:106D:A500:6CE0:F1A:DC54:7A34 (talk) 20:15, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

This might come off as a trivial question, but what is the difference between parsing the page and parsing the text?

Also, is there a way to get rid of the \n at the end of each line and the Parsoid specific information (I'm guessing it's in there for HTML->Wikitext conversion)? And is it possible to execute the command via command line or some other tool? If I could automate this process, that'd be fantastic.

I used the following command:

http://localhost/mywiki/api.php?action=parse&page=Sandbox

and a page containing JSON formatting appeared. If there's JSON formatting, can I get a JSON file out of this (a physical file, not just a display)?

• • Sidenote: the parameter in the documentation that's noted as {{PAGENAME}} does not exist as a parameter to set (i.e. pagename=). Shouldn't pagename be {{page}}? Emske (talk) 22:35, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

As an alternative, you can also use the parse.php maintenance script to parse from command line Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:45, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

> This might come off as a trivial question, but what is the difference between parsing the page and parsing the text?

There is no difference.

> can I get a JSON file out of this (a physical file, not just a display)?

If you add &format=json to your api.php URL you will get JSON. You can then convert that to a file or process it using your code, like your PHP code or whatever you use to code. HSRobinson (talk) 17:54, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

PHP error when importing xml

I posted a question a few days ago talking about having trouble importing a large xml file into a new wiki (and I forgot to properly thank AhmadF.Cheema for his suggestion of using importDump.php). We are currently trying to import an xml file of just over 5,000 article as well as everything else that is included in a database dump, and have tried importDump.php, though we have run into an issue while running it.

I did not run it personally, but the person with shell access ran the following command on the command line: php importDump.php --conf /opt/lampp/apps/wiki/htdocs/LocalSettings.php dumpfile.xml

He received: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in /opt/lampp/apps/wiki/htdocs/maintenance/importDump.php on line 349

The user who ran it claims that this output is because the feature does not use PHP 7, which is what our MediaWiki installation uses. Is this correct, and if so, is there a way to still import all the data as a whole xml? Sorry if I've missed something simple, I'm not the most literate when it comes to PHP and website maintenance. Thanks. 66.169.205.162 (talk) 04:58, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

It is not just a few files. But 13000 files. So I need batch convert. Or should I instqall some virtualbox with Ubuntu there, so that I can enable html-to-mediawiki converter there? Will it help to upload whole 1300 files db and get a mediawiki automatically? or any other solution do you suggest? thank you

Mistake in the Installation?

A couple weeks ago, I've installed MediaWiki, and I've gotten myself to design it before publishing it online. However, during the installation process, I might've made a mistake and classified it as a "private" wiki, when I intend for it to be published online for all to see. I didn't make a mistake during the installation process, did I? And if I did, is there a way to fix this so that it can be seen by all users? The-Psychid (talk) 03:57, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

In the main directory of your MediaWiki installation, there should be a LocalSettings.php file. In the file, there should be a line: "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;"

However, these links have the CSS class "mw-whatlinkshere-tools" around them so that you can hide them with CSS.

Adding the next lines of CSS to MediaWiki:Common.css in your wiki should do just that:

"frame:callParserFunction" and "PAGENAME"

I really don't understand how to make a sub-category of a category. I have given it a good read, and I still don't get it.

So, if I have a main Category: Geography and want to add Category: Country beneath that as a sub-category, how do I do that? I have read the Category section of the Manual and still do not have any idea how to create a sub-category. Do I add to the Category: Country page the ((Category: Geography)) tag? Or is there another method I'm just not understanding? 71.176.216.120 (talk) 21:00, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

XML + css

I have an XML-document which was generated by a database. I wrote a css-code which puts the XML-document in the shape I want it to be. There are XML- and css-extensions for MediaWiki, which are both installed on our wiki. Is there any possibilty to use them in combination, so that the css-code can be used directly on the XML-file? Or do I have to convert the XML-file to wiki-code first (with the extension) and then write a css-code that works on the wiki-code?

MediaWiki 1.32.0-RC0 fails with MSSQL

Windows 2008 R2 IIS 7.5

MS-SQL 2012

MediaWiki 1.32.0-RC0 (11-09-2018)

I had tried 1.31.1 but from reading found it doesn't support MS-SQL at all because of issues with it and it was being fixed in 1.32.0 release. Looking in GIT I saw most of those issues resolved. When I first try to install there's an error on table creation, it looks like a comma was left out of the tables.sql file.

maintenance\mssql\tables.sql line 1044

rc_patrolled tinyint NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_rc_patrolled DEFAULT 0

I added the comma to the end in that file and started the entire process over after deleting and remaking a blank DB. After fixing that though it installs the DB and moves on but errors after that.

Please file a bug report about the missing comma: How to report a bug.

For the followup error, also see Manual:How to debug Malyacko (talk) 23:29, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. I've created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T209870 and will begin working on debugging the other error. Brentil (talk) 18:11, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

I enabled full error capability in the php.ini as because this is a new install there is no LocalSettings.php yet. There are no errors being dropped just a notice.

PHP Notice:  Undefined index: UseWindowsAuth in \includes\libs\rdbms\database\DatabaseMssql.php on line 75

I went hunting from through the code and found that "Could not create a new page. It already exists." is for when error edit-already-exists is called. Which appears to be related to storage to the pages table. I went into the DB looking for what might already exist that is causing it problems. I found this in the pages table. The page_id 0 is created by the tables.sql file on line 183-184 so the page_id 1 must then be created by the code and then something is colliding.

Brentil (talk) 18:36, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

I started over with MediaWiki 1.32.0 stable release which has the MS-SQL fix in it. I still get the same error the the Install step of installation. I've enabled debugging and I don't believe this is an error in written code but a collision of the default page being created maybe during DB creation which then breaks during installation process as it thinks the page already exists and fails which also prevents me from moving on.

"Refreshed" Errors

I'm trying to customize my wiki with the "Refreshed" skin template, but I have some issues with it. The main issue is that every time it loads, there's an error that says: "Warning: count(); Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in (location of "RefreshedTemplate.php") on line 113." I'm actually looking at the file and the code is the following on line 113:

wfDebugLog( 'Refreshed', sprintf( 'Get %s, which contains %s lines', $messageKey, count( $lines ) ) );

My second issue is that when I try to modify my wiki CSS page so that the first header (h1) of each page is displayed in a customized font, and in uppercase. I think I've succeeded in making the font uppercase, but I'm unable to make it the font I want.

If you could help me fix these issues, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! The-Psychid (talk) 16:27, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

The "Warning" is displayed probably because you have debugging turned On somewhere in your LocalSettings.php. Removing those lines will stop the "Warning" from showing up. The skin authors are the people who will probably be in the best position to completely resolve it. For common users, usually such warnings can just be ignored.

Regarding the CSS, open the select tool from browser developer tools (in Chrome, press Ctrl+Shift+C) and select an h1 heading. This will in turn show the CSS rules that are being applied on the h1 element. If done correctly, your uppercase and customized font CSS rules should be visible there.

Also, you should remove the above image as your email address is visible. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:58, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Font for Wiki Tabs

I'm still customizing my wiki by modifying its CSS page. While I was experimenting it, I saw that I've found a way to make the "More" displayed in the font I want to customize with, and in uppercase. I actually want to see if I want to apply that for the other tabs in the navigational section, but I'm having trouble with it, even as I'm using Ctrl+Shift+C in Chrome. What would be the proper CSS code to resolve this?

Here is the image that will hopefully back up my inquiry:

<figure-inline>File:CSS Navigation.png</figure-inline> The-Psychid (talk) 20:01, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Using the select tool, select the tab that you want to change. Under the "Styles" tab, on the top there would be "element.style" brackets. In these, you can include whatever CSS you want to apply on the selected element. Include "font-family: FONT_NAME;" here. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 22:34, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Alright, but can I ask what the "select tool" is, and what it looks like when using MediaWiki? The-Psychid (talk) 03:01, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

In Chrome, press Ctrl+Shift+C; this will open up the select tool. I mentioned this previously in one of your previous topics. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 05:00, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Oh, I gotcha. I just have one more question, though: Is it possible to save the changes you've made on the wiki, through Google Chrome's selection tool? The-Psychid (talk) 02:29, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Never mind, I think I'm able to solve my dilemma, after going through further trial and error. Thanks for your assistance, though! The-Psychid (talk) 02:37, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

MW serving wrong page with random content, how to debug?

It seems that there are bug/bugs in Mediawiki 1.31 cache system. Where sometimes page will show totally different page than it currently is, and with page refresh/purge. the random content may change to other random page or change back.

Moreover, some times that page content will change to totally different template contents after submit, which made many edit lost and cause editors mad.

Password protection in .htaccess asks for password in every directory accessed

I'm working on a private wiki instance on a shared host for a student organization. I'd like the wiki to be able to be read by anyone in the team who knows the password without the need to create a user just for that. Contribution is limited to registered users only.

I am using URL shortening and HTTPS redirection too, and currently it asks for password again not only when the main page is loaded but also when the logo is loaded and the first load.php command is ran, so three times usually. Sometimes it asks seemingly randomly also while browsing the wiki.

It is very annoying, and I contemplated on somehow extending MediaWiki to contain a landing page for password and then register the session and keep it until cookies are cleared. I couldn't find an Extension for what I am trying to do. I'd rather stick to .htaccess in case there is no such Extension available at all.

The content of the .htaccess file is the following:

RewriteEngine On

# Always redirect HTTP to HTTPS

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

<If "%{HTTPS} == 'on'">

    AuthType Basic

    AuthUserFile /var/www/exampleurl.com/wiki/.htpasswd

    AuthName "Username and password required"

    Require user exampleuser

</If>

Yes, sorry. I was trying to install Math extension before this and I had the same error. I could not get the error tracing work. But finally running the update script fixed the issue. I was wondering if there was another way of having a mobile site. This sentence confused me (from Extension:MobileFrontend):

The TemplateStyles extension can be used to style content so that it renders nicely on mobile and desktop. MobileFrontend will not magically fix this for you!

Can this be done with TemplateStyles? Zeynel1 (talk) 17:02, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

The Extension:MobileFrontend (or specifically the skins which are used for mobile) will take care of most of the general MediaWiki website elements (navbar, sidebar, logo etc.); however, specific customised templates that the Wiki users create are not automatically corrected by the extension. These templates might need their own CSS rules to make them render the desired way on mobile. Extension:TemplateStyles is the convenient way to define specific CSS rules separately for each template.

modifiedby field not working since update

I previously created a dpl to help me with my maintenance jobs on a wiki. Some time ago we got an update to the last version and it caused all dpl's that used the modifiedby field to throw up this error.

The DPL extension (version 2.3.0) produced a SQL statement which lead to a Database error.

The reason may be an internal error of DPL or an error which you made,

especially when using DPL options like titleregexp.

Query text is:

SELECT DISTINCT `wdd_page`.page_namespace AS page_namespace,`wdd_page`.page_title AS page_title,`wdd_page`.page_id AS page_id, rev_user, rev_user_text, rev_comment, rev_timestamp, rev_id FROM `wdd_revision` AS rev, `wdd_revision` AS change_rev, `wdd_page` INNER JOIN `wdd_categorylinks` AS cl0 ON `wdd_page`.page_id=cl0.cl_from AND (cl0.cl_to='5e') INNER JOIN `wdd_categorylinks` AS cl1 ON `wdd_page`.page_id=cl1.cl_from AND (cl1.cl_to='User') LEFT OUTER JOIN `wdd_categorylinks` AS cl2 ON `wdd_page`.page_id=cl2.cl_from AND cl2.cl_to='Meta' WHERE 1=1 AND cl2.cl_to IS NULL AND `wdd_page`.page_namespace NOT IN ('1') AND `wdd_page`.page_is_redirect=0 AND `wdd_page`.page_id=rev.rev_page AND rev.rev_timestamp=( SELECT MAX(rev_aux.rev_timestamp) FROM `wdd_revision` AS rev_aux WHERE rev_aux.rev_page=rev.rev_page ) AND = change_rev.rev_user_text AND change_rev.rev_page = page_id AND `wdd_page`.page_id=rev.rev_page AND rev.rev_timestamp < 20181117160000 ORDER BY rev_timestamp DESC, rev_id DESC

Error message is:

Column 'rev_user' in field list is ambiguous (127.0.0.1)

When the following is inputted:

{{#dpl:|allrevisionsbefore=202505151400|ordermethod=lastedit|order=descending|distinct=true|category=User|notnamespace=Talk|notcategory=Meta|modifiedby=ConcealedLight|noresultsheader=—|mode=userformat|format=,\n* %DATE% %PAGE%}}

Any suggestions? 31.205.234.176 (talk) 17:00, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Seems like for MySQL it is not clear, which field "rev_user" it should select from the fields given in the list. The field can be prefixed by a table name or by a table alias to solve this issue.

Highlight search hits

Hello there

Is there a way to highlight the search hits in the matching documents? The search terms are bold faced in the search results page, but I'd like to see the terms highlighted or bold faced when the documents are opened. DokuWiki does this by default. I tried enabling $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting but don't see any difference at all with that setting.

Thank you Captgoodhope (talk) 19:47, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

You can use CSS to make the desired customisations. In your MediaWiki:Common.css page, use something like the following:

/* Search result headings */
div.mw-search-result-heading {
	background-color: #ffeb3b85;
}
/* Search result content */
div.searchresult {
	background-color: #8bc34a63;
}

AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 22:38, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, but not exactly what I had in mind. When I do a search, the search results will look like this:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlsOmAfsNhgShcoOEpumxoFT0Yq6fg

If I click on '2018-11-17 Test' to open the document, it will look like this:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlsOmAfsNhgShcoNdmk8hYsWhy_Csw

The search results will be highlighted in the document.

This might be quite complicated to do I think. What is the setting $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting supposed to do? Captgoodhope (talk) 23:25, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Someone asked about such functionality three years ago too. Don't think this is natively possible, will probably require some JavaScript.

$wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting appears to be broken. Although it does appear to have some effect on the amount of wikitext shown in the results but nothing relevant to highlighting. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 01:19, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

And two, I've been modifying its CSS page, and everything's working as I've intended for it. But when I log back in, the wiki altogether switches back to the default settings (but only on the login page itself). The attached screenshot should give you an idea:

<figure-inline></figure-inline>

In the case of the latter, is it an issue (because I'm assuming that the CSS source page would apply to all the wiki pages, including login)? And if so, what would be the best way to resolve this issue?

As always, I truly appreciate your assistance. The-Psychid (talk) 05:43, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Display xml-file with css-formatting in wiki

Hello out there!

I want to display an xml-file in my MediaWiki which is formatted by a css-file. I have the xml- and css-extension.

On the Wiki-page I used the code:

"<xml2wiki>

file = File:file.xml

</xml2wiki>"

The xml-file is displayed now but the css-formatting is missing. In the xml-file there is a link to the css-file:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="style.css"?>

Both files (xml and css) are uploaded on the Wiki.

Any ideas? 80.146.228.73 (talk) 09:34, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

the style.css should point to an absolute URL. Otherwise it will try to load a file named "style.css" on the same URL path of the current page, which I guess it doesn't exist. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:22, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

When accessing our mediawiki website, we got this error:

Exception encountered, of type "ParseError"

Recently on the Debian Stretch, we did 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'. Apparently, there was a software bug in the User.php file in 1:1.27.7-1~deb9u4. It was fine in the version 1:1.27.7-1~deb9u3.

The solution? Here are the changes we made in the User.php file under /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/user

====Before the change====

1803                 if ( $id == 0 ) {

1804                         // limits for anons

1805                         if ( isset( $limits['anon'] ) ) {

1806                                 $keys[wfMemcKey( 'limiter', $action, 'anon' )] = $limits['anon'];

1807                         }

1808                 } else {

1809                         // limits for logged-in users

1810                         if ( isset( $limits['user'] ) ) {

1811                                 $userLimit = $limits['user'];

1812                         }

1813                 } else {

1814                         // "global per name" limit, across sites

1815                         if ( isset( $limits['user-global'] ) ) {

1816                                 $lookup = CentralIdLookup::factoryNonLocal();

====After the change====

1803                 if ( $id == 0 ) {

1804                         // limits for anons

1805                         if ( isset( $limits['anon'] ) ) {

1806                                 $keys[wfMemcKey( 'limiter', $action, 'anon' )] = $limits['anon'];

1807                         }

1808                         // limits for logged-in users

1809                 } elseif  ( isset( $limits['user'] ) ) {

1810                                 $userLimit = $limits['user'];

1811                         }

1812                 else {

1813                         // "global per name" limit, across sites

Yes, we got it fixed

Installation Error

Hello,

I'm having problems with installing my wiki (http://wiki.danslo.cz/mediawiki-1.6.12/config/index.php). What can I do?

Thank you very much, Daniel Slováček 80.251.250.15 (talk) 18:18, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Daniel,

you are using MediaWiki 1.6.12, a version, which is really ancient and absolutely insecure nowadays.

Please follow Installation and start by grabbing a current version of MediaWiki, e.g. 1.31.1. This is the current LTS release. 2001:16B8:1015:C300:8D35:D29:F8C3:E8F7 (talk) 22:04, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Edit count seems to be out of sync

Hi, when using the Editcount Extensions if the transcluded count Special:EditCount/USERNAME is compared to actual page EditCount/USERNAME, then they don't line up. Do you know why this is happening? Any help on fixing it? Jakel181 (talk) 22:30, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Maybe Extension:Editcount updates the transcluded count after jobs are completed? Which one is higher, the Special page one or the transcluded one? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 04:13, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Although I do not know the answer, I have an idea on that one:

The extension is not really counting the edits, it only is increasing a number by one. If this number is incorrect, then the edit count as displayed by the extension is wrong. This can e.g. happen, if the extension has been deactivated for some time.

The transclusion however might just get the counted number of rows from the database so that it gets the right number, even though the number, which the Editcount extension has saved, is wrong. 2001:16B8:1095:C900:4977:3F19:EBE9:C9AA (talk) 20:07, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

MediaWiki stores it's own edit count on the user table. This is different from how the extension calculates the numbers, which is simply counting the number of rows in the revision table. If a page is deleted, it doesn't update the MediaWiki editcount of the affected users, but those deleted revisions won't be counted for those users, meaning the edit count per namespace will be decreased, while the internal global edit count would still count them. There's also differencies when one renames a page, which creates 2 revisions (one is the redirect page), increasing the edit count by 2 on the extension, but MediaWiki only counts it as 1.

Download mediawiki to thumb drive

I have a mediawiki install that I'd like to take offline. It's currently running on 1.16.4 due to some older skins and extensions I didn't want to get rid of. What would be the easiest way to run this from a thumb drive? 24.220.59.1 (talk) 03:54, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

MediaWiki needs a database to store all the data (except images, which are stored in filesystem). If you're using MySQL, it may not be safe to run that on a thumb drive. Removing the drive without unmounting it correctly can corrupt data. If you're using sqlite it should be safer.

There's some documentation in Manual:Wiki on a stick Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:15, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Database error when installing MW 1.31.1

When installing MW_1.31.1 I encounter a database error.

Look here for a sample wiki, where all the steps are documented by screenshots.

The empty database file is included too. So anybody can download it and test it on other systems in order to determine whether this is a bug.

Thanks. Alfredo1066 (talk) 14:25, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Looking at your screenshots, most of what you noted is not really a problem: MediaWiki will work without an OPCode cache - although installing one might make it faster.

For the default table engine, please choose InnoDB.

When I look at your wiki page with the error description and at your other topic Project:Support desk/Flow/2018/10#h-I_get_logged_out_when_editing_after_upgrade_to_1.31.1_from_1.26.3-Internal_error-2018-10-25T13:19:00.000Z, then I see the same error messsage twice:

JobQueueError from line 828 of /mw_1.31.1-neu/includes/jobqueue/JobQueueDB.php: Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

and

Error: 1146 Table 'db12596436-isamdb.isamdbjob' doesn't exist (localhost)

Somehow, MediaWiki tries to access tables with table prefix "innodb" and "isamdb".

According to the LocalSettings.php file, which you posted, you have not set $wgDBprefix. So there should not be a table prefix.

Using pywikibot on hosted services, especially Dreamhost

I'm looking to port a 30k page wiki from wikidot to mediawiki, which will involve many rounds of pywikibot processing. Is there any reason why a hosted mediawiki service, and especially Dreamhost, won't allow me to use it, or do they all have an api.php which I can connect to?

Counting templates in a page

Is there any way to count the number of times a template is used in a page and report it on that page (e.g. to write "this page contains citation needed templates")? I feel like it should be possible with some combination of magicwords or ParserFunctions or StringFunctions but I can't quite work out a solution! T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 11:26, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

It is theoretically possible by parsing the page using something like lua. Of course one would have to implement a lot of the mediawiki parser to account for all messy ways in which templates can be added to a page. 197.218.82.214 (talk) 11:49, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Custom URL for a page

Hi,

There is a trouble with a crawler that a main page of my mediawiki site isn't called just "index", but rather "index.php?something" How is it possible to have a page called just "index"? Temporary solution might be acceptable, as I only need an Adsense crawler to crawl my site to be accepted, and as I was explained the crawler cannot follow redirections. Del222 (talk) 16:45, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

You can see Manual:Short URL. 星耀晨曦 (talk) 16:49, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately, over there they say that the manuals are outdated.

I can simplify my question - how can I make my main page having address mywiki.com instead of mywiki.com/index.php?title=... ?

Thank you! Del222 (talk) 20:19, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

That is as simple as adding a redirect. How that is done is depending on the webserver you are using.

Btw: There should at least be one short URL manual with Apache and one with nginx. These two should be up to date. 2001:16B8:10F3:7000:4D69:8466:8142:606C (talk) 20:35, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

The thing is that the crawler doesn't follow the redirects. So, mywiki.com it should be a real URL of a starting page Del222 (talk) 23:22, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Anyway, a URL without a real filename is not a real URL. In this case, you may need to improve the crawler or use a proxy to let the proxy server return the redirected content based on the URL. 星耀晨曦 (talk) 00:08, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

But the easiest to implement is to use a short URL, e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki returns HTTP 200 code and its real URL is https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?titile=MediaWiki. Also Manual:Short URL not outdated. 星耀晨曦 (talk) 00:17, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

For now, my only goal is to have main page with address https://www.mywiki.org/ It seems that ShortURL manual doesn't provide such an option. In all the cases the page title is https://www.mywiki.org/something

Could you suggest the easiest way to correct the URL only on the main page?

Thank you! Del222 (talk) 21:32, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

You need a rule on your web server that redirects the specific "main page" URL to MediaWiki's main page. Instructions for doing that vary for each web server, and this is not MediaWiki related. google:redirect+root+to+index.php Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:21, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, Ciencia. Maybe, I wasn't clear about what I need to do. I already have redirect, so when the user tries to access https://www.mywiki.org/ mediawiki automatically redirects the user to https://www.mywiki.org/index.php?titile=Main_Page What I need is to have no redirect at all, the main page has to have the address https://www.mywiki.org/ Nothing else. This is possible to do, as for example wikipedia has the main page's address of this format.

I suppose that this is a mediawiki setting and not the server's, as I never configured the server to redirect to /index.php?titile=Main_Page Main page's address is generated by mediawiki. Del222 (talk) 14:10, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Are you using Apache? 星耀晨曦 (talk) 14:12, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Also, Wikipedia does not have the main page's address of https://www.mywiki.org/ format, it is as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (the format which is meant to be achieved by following the Manual:Short URL tutorial). AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 14:48, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes, that was the reason, so the correct name now is there. But a new issue appeared. Chrome now marks my site as "not secure", although it is https. I think, before this main page url changing everything was fine.

Any ideas how to fix this? Del222 (talk) 22:51, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Sorry to reply so late. Chrome reminds you that your site is not secure, but if you use https, chances are that some resources loaded on your site are not using https, but use http. 星耀晨曦 (talk) 03:16, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Access to session variables (read and write)

Hi,

I'm facing this need. I'm using successfully the OpenID Connect extension to auth using KeyCloak my MediaWiki setup, and that's nice. My actual need is to reach exactly the page where the user linked from another website.

Just to explain, on Website A there's a link to page B on MediaWiki.

The actual situation is that, even enabling autologin and disabling the local authentication, so that authentication happens transparently to the user, I land on mediawiki always on the home page instead of page B as I clicked from the other site...

I'm writing an extension that, in theory, if the user is not authenticated redirects the user to the auth page, when the user is coming from the right referer, and, when the user comes back from keycloak it sends him to the correct page instead of the home.

The logic looks ok, but the problem is that I cannot manage to write the page URL in session...

Timeless search box count question

Path outside of the MediaWiki (XML2Wiki-extension)

I'm using the XML2Wiki-extension. The XML-File I want to use is not on the Wiki-Server. Is it possible to use a path in MediaWiki that leads outside of the Wiki?

code:

<xml2wiki>

file = File:www.server.com/file.xml

</xml2wiki>

Problem using Wiki publisher extension in LibreOffice

Getting data content from the table on any page

Hi, I have a problem with obtaining data at the database level. I have created wiki pages with chemical experiments that contain tables with used chemicals (one experiment = one table with chemicals). I need to create a view (in SQL DB), which will obtain for each experiment all the chemicals that are in the tables (which are used in the experiment). Any idea how to get this type of data? Thank you! Jakubjuracka (talk) 16:45, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Database Issues with Heroku

Hello, and thank you for providing a support desk. I have a more or less functional* MediaWiki installation on Heroku and I'm trying to create a duplicate Heroku app, just to see if I can in case anything goes wrong in the future.

The duplicate app uses a copy of the other application's database (both Postgres) and a copy of the source code. It uses the same LocalSettings.php file. Some of the values in LocalSettings.php use environment variables that I set with Heroku. Most values are the same except for things like the database url and the website url. $wgDBmwschema is set to mediawiki. $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace is set to true.

The duplicate app displays pages just like the original application. It also allows me to login. However, if I try to edit a page the database throws an error.

Using the "Special:Version" page I see that both apps use 1.31.0-alpha, PostgreSQL 9.6.10, and PHP 7.2.12.

====== Edits on Duplicate App ======

The error received when trying open a source edit on the duplicate application ("action=edit"):

[1125f1a63b632645824f0ac9] /index.php?title=User:Devinplatt&action=edit Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1168 of /app/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

====== Update.php on Duplicate app ======

If I go to the Heroku server's bash console for the duplicate app and run maintenance/update.php I get the following error:

A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

Query: ALTER TABLE site_stats DROP CONSTRAINT site_stats_ss_row_id_key

Function: Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database::sourceFile( /app/maintenance/postgres/archives/patch-site_stats-pk.sql )

====== *Anonymous Submissions on Original App ======

Edits work on the original application, but only for logged in users. Anonymous users get an error when attempting to submit an edit on the original application ("action=submit"):

Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1169 of /app/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

Function: Revision::insertOn

Error: 42P01 ERROR: relation "ip_changes" does not exist

====== Links ======

Original application: wikiclaim.org

Duplicate: claimwiki2.herokuapp.com

Code: github.com/devinplatt/mediawiki

======

I'd like to know if there are any known remedies for, or causes of these database errors. My wiki currently works more or less, but if I can't make a functional duplicate application I'll be afraid to make any updates or changes in the future.
