Cách cài đặt sử dụng Laravel- PYRO

1.Cài đặt:

1.1 Cài đặt Xampp/ Wampp:

Lưu ý rất quan trọng là cần cài đặt phiên bản php dưới 7.3, nghĩa là trong khoảng 7.2.*. Vì pyro chưa update php 7.3.

1.1 Cài đặt Composer:

Nếu chưa có composer thì cài composer trước:

https://getcomposer.org/download/ (Lưu ý cặt đặt biến môi trường (PATH environment variable) cho composer để có thể gọi nó bất kì đâu).

1.2 Cài đặt Pyrocms :

Khi bạn tạo source từ đầu:

composer create-project pyrocms/pyrocms

Khi bạn clone source đã có về:

composer update

Setup project:

php artisan install

Is your question about MediaWiki itself? MediaWiki does not support downloading Maps. It's a wiki software. Malyacko (talk) 10:02, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

How to attach a word or link a word document

I see several articles on how to add an attachment to a MediaWiki page but while in Edit I don't see any option to select Add > Attachment.

To do so:

1. Browse to the page you wish to attach the file to (or you may attach files to your space's Home page).
2. Click Add > Attachment.
3. Click the Browse button to browse for a file on your computer.
4. Highlight the file you want to attach, then click "Open"
5. If desired, add a comment to the file.

I want to know how to add a word document or link a word document to our Wiki page.

Thank you. 50.235.216.218 (talk) 13:36, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

For including files into a Wiki page, you'll need to upload them. See Help:Managing files.

By-the-way, where on a Wiki page do you get the "Add > Attachment" links? It should either be embed file for the WikiEditor or "Insert > Media" in the case of VisualEditor. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 15:24, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Make sure you have created an account and are logged in to MediaWiki.

On the left hand side, there should be a 'Tools' section with 'Upload File" below it.

By default anonymous uploads are not allowed. You must register and log in before the upload file link appears in the toolbox. 2601:144:C002:4E10:613F:5D0D:3462:7554 (talk) 01:44, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Is there any way to import a wiki from the source files?

Unable to create thumbnails for mp4 video files manually

So apparently my instance of MediaWiki (1.32.0 with TimedMediaHandler extension installed) does not create thumbnails for videos.

I generated a whole set with GIMP and named them after the original file name Blocking_electrostatic_induction_from_Spark_generator.mp4

as follows 1200px-Blocking_electrostatic_induction_from_Spark_generator.mp4.jpg, and put the set in the directory

I uploaded them to this directory here: https://atur.us/pera/images/thumb/7/74/Blocking_electrostatic_induction_from_Spark_generator.mp4/240px-Blocking_electrostatic_induction_from_Spark_generator.mp4.jpg

Which should be the right directory for thumbnails for the original file , which is here: https://atur.us/pera/images/7/74/Blocking_electrostatic_induction_from_Spark_generator.mp4

No thumbnail appears on the file page or in category listings.

Is there a step I am missing?

Background

hello guys, I was searching for information "how to change background" but found absolutely nothing. I want to change background on the head and bottom, but how?

I use mediawiki 1.30.1 89.151.179.220 (talk) 15:03, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

This can be done by applying additional CSS rules to specific classes of the page. These rules will be included in the MediaWiki:Common.css page.

To find out which classes are relevant for your purpose, on your Wiki page press Ctrl+Shift+C, wait a few moments, and this will open the selection tool of your browser's built-in developer tools. With the selection tool, click on the part of the page you want to apply changes to. This will put into focus the relevant CSS classes. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:44, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

LDAP Questions

I messed up and need some help. I upgraded to 1.32.1, upgrading PHP (to PHP7 from PHP5) and Apache in the process. I also upgraded the LDAPAuthentication extension for version 1.32.1. Authentication with LDAP does not work any longer. It worked prior to upgrade. I watch network traffic and no attempts to AD server are even being made so its all about the MediaWiki server. I've tried reverting back to no avail though I haven't gone as far as downgrading PHP and Apache, yet.

1) wgLDAPDebug - I've tried 3, I've tried 99. Where exactly should debug logs be to view them? I'm not seeing anything.

2) Anyone gotten LDAPAuthentication to work in a new Ubuntu, up to date mysql and apache?

This is the Auth section of LocalSettings.php. I've tried many variations.

## Enable LDAP Authentication

require_once( "$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php" );

$wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();

$wgLDAPDomainNames = array( 'mydomain.com' );

$wgLDAPServerNames = array( 'mydomain.com' => 'dc1.mydomain.com dc2.mydomain.com' );

$wgLDAPSearchStrings = array( "mydomain.com" => "wikiuser@MyDomainName" );

$wgLDAPRetrievePrefs = array( "mydomain.com" => "true" );

$wgLDAPPreferences = array("mydomain.com" => array( "email" => "mail","realname" => "displayname"));

A number of deprecated functions is still in my database after the update

Upgrade from 1.16 --> 1.32 went mostly smooth, but now the edit page is just a blank screen (i have display_errors on and the recommeded in wf settings set to true).

In browser console I see the following errors:

Uncaught ReferenceError: addOnloadHook is not defined

And similar. As far as my understanding goes, the functions are called from DB (there are no "addOnloadHook" in any of the actual files and as I've read its deprecated). How can I update my database in a way that will allow me to at least have a usable edit page?

Too be clear, I have downloaded new version of Mediawiki and a new Vector skin, then I run update.php as the instruction told me and did some minor changes to LocalSettings.php (disabled outdates extensions and replaced the 'required_once' with 'wfLoadSkin'). The website is 99% working, except when it comes to edits. Deimos (talk) 16:02, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Looks more like deprecated JavaScript errors. Do you have any old code in MediaWiki:Common.js? Try removing that and temporarily disabling all extensions and see if it changes anything. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 17:44, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes, there is a bunch of functions in this page, including the addOnloadHook function. But... How do I remove it? Where is the code stored in files? Deimos (talk) 20:45, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

The error is caused by Pinterest Save Button.

^^As mentioned above, have you checked MediaWiki:Common.js? Try removing that and temporarily disabling all extensions and see if it changes anything. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 04:45, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

So, I open that page and see that there are problematic functions, including the addOnloadHook. But I don't know how to remove it without breaking the site. I search for this function in files, but only find it in backups of old theme and installation. I searh for it in database, but even if I delete all the rows where this function is mentioned, I still get the same 'addOnloadHook is not defined' and I also partially break my wiki (had to restore DB from backup. I feel like the next step I'm going to do is to downgrade to the last version of mediawiki used addOnloadHook function. Deimos (talk) 09:08, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Removing all the code from MediaWiki:Common.js shouldn't break the site. Everything defined on that page is extra in the sense that it is not needed for core MediaWiki installation to work.

And definitely do not directly edit the database. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 14:01, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Well, could you point me how do i do that? Note that 'Edit' button just pops the blank page for me. Deimos (talk) 08:26, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Apologies, forgot that part of your original post.😴

Maybe disabling JavaScript in your browser and then trying to edit might help? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:02, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Omg, that fixed it! Disabling js in browser for my wiki allowed me to edit pages. Then I just removed the problematic functions, enabled js, hit Ctrl-F5 and voila. Thank you! Deimos (talk) 10:17, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

How to make articles unvisible?

Hi, I want to make the following setting in my wiki:

All articles, which are not in any category shall be unvisible for guests.

I have MediaWiki 1,23,9. I know its old.

Thanks 84.137.169.209 (talk) 19:42, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Very difficult to do so by default.

If you have very few pages that you want to be viewable by anonymous users, a better option would be to whitelist only those pages. See $wgWhitelistRead.

For more customization, it would be easier to restrict viewing by namespaces rather than categories. See Extension:Lockdown (especially the warning at the top) or Extension talk:Lockdown/Archive 2/Flow export#h-Namespace_lockdown_doesn't_work_correctly_in_MW_1.31-2018-06-19T06:13:00.000Z. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 22:14, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. This sounds complicated.

Can you tell me, what exactly I have to do, that no guest can see any article on my wiki?

If so, how can I now make exceptions: that some articles can be read by a guest?

Sorry I'm newb and need easy steps. 84.137.169.209 (talk) 08:43, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

To prevent guests from viewing all articles, you'll want to create a private Wiki. For this, see Manual:Preventing access#Simple private wiki.

To allow viewing of some specific articles by guests add those pages to $wgWhitelistRead or $wgWhitelistReadRegexp.

The code lines mentioned in the above references are to be included in the LocalSettings.php file present in your Wiki's main folder.

For example,

## Private Wiki
# Disable reading by anonymous users
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
# Disable anonymous editing
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
# Prevent new user registrations except by sysops
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
## Whitelisted pages
$wgWhitelistRead = array(
    "Main Page", "Foo", "Bar", "Foo Bar"
    );

I do this using Lockdown, combine this with white liststhis will allow you to "lock out" visitors and users at a pr. namespace level - all done in localsettings.php . You can also add a snip of code there to block visitors from going to special pages. AssetDenmark (talk) 10:07, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

403 Forbidden access error

Hello guys

I have a working wiki on my computer, where I can access wiki pages and all.

However, when I try to access a page that has ":" in the name, I get an Error 403: Forbidden Access.

It is problematic because I would like to access the MediaWiki:Sidebar page to edit the sidebar.

Is there any way I can fix this?

From what I understand, it could be Apache that is keeping me from this page, but I don't understand why it would.

Skin seems to not take into account changes at Tempo.sking.php file

Hello guys, I have another question.

I am trying to edit the skin Tempo.skin.php, and change the content of it.

However, whatever I put in the file "Tempo.skin.php" doesn't change the behaviour of the skin on my mediawiki. If I delete half of the file, the skin remain unchanged on my mediawiki.

From my understanding, ti is from Tempo.skin.php that the skin is loaded and create the html of the webpage.

Why doesn't the skin change when I modify Tempo.skin.php?

Problem when modifying Tempo.skin.php file

Hello guys

I am trying to customize the skin Tempo for my mediawiki

I modifier sucesfully the CSS of the skin. However, I would like to costumize also the php code of the skin, which I find in Tempo.skin.php.

But my problem is that when I modify the file, the changes are not taken into account by my browser, (but the changes to the CSS were taken) and the mediawiki isn't modified (other than the CSS)

Is there anything I am missing to make my browser look into the php file when putting a skin on my mediawiki?

Thanks in advance Nemael (talk) 22:51, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Oaky, I found what the problem is.

I use Firefox to test out the skin, and it somehow keep the old php in cache.

I actually installed Google Chrome to try it, and Bam! All the changes were there.

Does anyone know how to empty that cache that firefox uses? Nemael (talk) 23:00, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

For MediaWiki, this might be what you need: Manual:$wgInvalidateCacheOnLocalSettingsChange

And for Firefox. Jonathan3 (talk) 00:38, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for this solution :)

Another way to make it work is to refresh the page with Ctrl + F5, it'll do a "hard refresh" of the page Nemael (talk) 00:42, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Trouble installing modules/templates

Fatal error in Special:Import after installing TemplateStyles

I'm currently trying to set up a mediawiki with the help of the bitnami stack virtual machine. So far everything is working, but now I'm trying to import Templates from Wikipedia. Especially Annotated_Image and Annotated_Image_4. When importing Annotated_Image_4 I get no errors but testing this, there is a lot of unformated text. When trying to import Annotated_Image I receive the error, that there is no content handler for sanitized css.

So I tried installing TemplateStyles but after this nothing can be imported anymore. I am trying to configure TemplateStyles but cannot find good documentation at the moment. CDeussen (talk) 14:11, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Can someone explain how AuthManager can replace LDAPAuthentication?

It's not clear what configurations are needed for Authmanager. Can someone post their configs for LDAP authentication?

This page Manual:SessionManager and AuthManager says to set $wgSessionProviders & $wgAuthManagerConfig.

But for the $wgSessionProviders page, it says to configure like this.

$wgSessionProviders[MyCustomSessionProvider::class] = [

   'class' => MyCustomSessionProvider::class,

   'args' => [ 'dc1.acme.com' ],

];

Questions here:

Is "MyCustomSessionProvider" just a non-important name here or do I have to have something else that references MyCustomSessionProvider? If yes, what and where? There is little documentation on this.

The Link for $wgAuthManagerConfig is even worse, with zero information on it.

I just want to start with, where does one enter your AD / LDAP hostnames, whcih section?

Mass user deletion

Over the last year my website was raided by spambots. They have created hundereds of accounts that I wish to delete for good. There is a UserMerge extension that can merge all of the accounts into one, but that seems to be a very inefficient way of dealing with it, since there are hundereds of spambots. Is there a way to delete a lot of users at once? Deimos (talk) 11:13, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Extension:BlockAndNuke can mass block spam accounts and delete all contributions made by those spam accounts, in just two clicks.

Also, Extension:Checkuser may be helpful, which can find the underlying IP and the interface can provide options to block a bundle of accounts from the same IP or an IP range. 94rain ^Talk 11:25, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I see that BlockAndNuke only works for recent accounts. Unfortunatelly it does not really work for me, as the users are dated back to 2017. Also, all contribution has been deleted already by other extensions, I only want to delete the accounts. Deimos (talk) 11:39, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Oh I did not read the question carefully...

I see that BlockAndNuke extension can be integrated with Extension:UserMerge to merge blocked accounts. But I do not know how it works exactly

“

Integration with Extension:UserMerge If you have Extension:UserMerge installed, this blocked user's accounts will be merged with the user specified in $wgBaNSpamUser which, by default, is "Spammer". If you want this to work you will need to install code from here for UserMerge as the main branch of UserMerge does not have the necessary hooks in it.

94rain ^Talk 11:42, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I tried to use it. Unfortunately, seems like this patch is long outdated. It needs to apply changes to the file UserMerge.php, but in UserMerge extension for MW1.32 there is no such file.

Template expansion

One year ago I created Wikis. One of them is still working without problems. (rietstapwiki.com)

I had to recreate another: burkewiki.com. It contains several thousand pages, all use a template.

This template is very similar to the one in rietstapwiki.com. The difference is the English language.

In the new Wiki the templates are not expanded. If I go and edit a page by introducing a space character

after the first line, the template gets expanded. I cannot believe that this space makes the difference.

updating them. 212.204.92.13 (talk) 15:02, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello!

I am trying to install VisualEditor on mediawiki regard to the offical page: Extension:VisualEditor an (in addition) the Parsoid installation:

Parsoid/Setup#Configuration after installed mediawiki Manual:Installing MediaWiki

It start with it three times on new debian machines, always the same error when the Visual Editor seems to start:

" ......apierror-visualeditor-docserver-http-error: http-request-error....."

I got no curl and no http error code, just if I want to try again.

My question are:

With the actual Edition of parsion (0.10), Visual Editor and Mediawiki and the installation steps in those articels - does VE work??

Or is anywhere a actual installation (with all the new versions debian, wiki, parsoid availible at this time) manual for this or is Visual Editor not longer working at all.

Therefore: Are there any alternatives to edit and creater pages on mediawiki easier then the standard editor? Shouldn´t it possible to create Sites with it wihtout knowing anything about html?

Thank you so much!

Migration of old Wiki from version 1.10.1 to SharePoint Online

During the course of performing some cleanup and shutting down old servers, we found out the hard way that one of our teams is still using a Wiki on a very old piece of hardware (that MUST go away) and we have been tasked with migrating the content to another Platform.

As this is literally my first project working with a Wiki, I'm hoping that some of the experts out there can weigh in and let me know;

1) Is it even possible to migrate content from a Wiki on version 1.10.1 to SharePoint online?

2) What methods/tools would you suggest we use to carry out the migration?

I've been doing quite a bit of research over the past few days and haven't come across much information that is truly helpful..

We're really just looking for some guidance/advice here. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "We don't know about SharePoint Online"??

Someone reached out to me regarding a Metalogix product that supposedly will do migrations from MediaWiki to SharePoint Online. That is the goal here.

I'm really just trying to understand if it is even possible to take the old MediaWiki site (with all of it's contents) and move it into a SharePoint environment?

Again, if anyone can provide some guidance or has experience with similar migrations, I'd love to know how you made that work.

wiki recovery

I've been using a raspberry pi to host a private wiki since 2014 (MediaWiki 1.19.20+dfsg-2.3), and recently the sqlite database file outgrew the veracrypt container on which it was stored. Fortunately, I made regular backups of the database file, but while the wiki works for a short period after swapping out the database file for a backup version, within a day or so it will start returning HTTP 500 errors. The database checker claims that is not corrupted, yet the problem persists until I swap out the database for a fresh copy (which then succumbs to the same fate).

I then tried a fresh install (MediaWiki 1.27.5) on a separate pi, but the newer version does not seem to recognize the old database file. I've tried updating the database file as well as the entire media wiki installation on the first pi, and these failed.

What would be the easiest way to get it running again? Pepsisformosa (talk) 19:29, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

I did a fresh install, and it detected support for sqlite database and works fine with the brand new database.

Looks like a problem with the version of sqlite on your system. See the last message on this topic. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:59, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

I tried again using backports and installed sqlite version 3.27.2. It works when I allow it to make a new (empty) database, but when I point it to my old database and tell it to upgrade, it still fails.

The failure is different, at least. This time it never finishes upgrading and was still giving me the "busy" animation 6 hours later.

Looks like you're going a step back again? #flow-post-v0053a7f4bgyfhgc Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:31, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

I managed to port a wiki from 1.18 to 1.32 - i simply set up the new wiki as-is - and tried to set up everything up the same, installing the same extensions/namespaces etc.. After that I ran a export/import... and that seems to work nicely. (I did not see anything "lost"... yet. ) - you should do one or more backups of the "native" 1.32 Wiki along the way.

From what I read you try to "copy" the SQL files, but there could be all sorts of differences.... doing the export/import also allows you to "mess" a bit with the table names/prefix etc. You can - carefully - edit the export file to match a new prefix ( $wgDBprefix ). AssetDenmark (talk) 06:41, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Ciencia,

I had to redo the installation and messed up the permissions in doing so. I'd consider that going "back a step" and fixing it to be bringing me back "forward" back to where we were before. :)

I did manage to upgrade my SQLite with backports, and now the "Version" page lists my SQLite version as "3.27.2 with full-text search support". So ignoring my permissions mistake, it looks like there's no change despite the upgraded SQLite.

AssetDenmark,

It looks like you're referring to MySQL databases as opposed to SQLite? I'm not aware of any MySQL "files" I could copy, and also not aware of any "export/import" function for SQLite databases. When I look up how to do the export/import I find only MySQL stuff, and the reason I went with SQLite in the first place was because I thought I could simply back up the database file (which had worked well until recently).

I did look into the installation settings and prefix things, and I'm not sure whether I understand correctly. The original installation was years ago and I can't remember the exact settings, but it seems that this information is all in the LocalSettings.php file, no? I did try using the original LocalSettings.php file with the appropriate changes, but the upgrade process doesn't seem to change based on this? I think the prefix should be the same in both cases, as I did not do anything differently there. 198.72.159.149 (talk) 19:39, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Feel free to post your current error message, since now I'm lost as of what's the problem now Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 15:59, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, it got a little confusing with the extra permissions mistake thrown in there. Basically, I think the backports upgrade didn't change anything.

HELP I CAN NOT GET AN ACCOUNT TO WORK

The custom MediaWiki:mwe-upwiz-license doesn't display

I have a problem, I've edited $wgUploadWizardConfig for to add new choices of licenses. But in the UploadWizard, when I am going to choose a custom license, the text shows something like this ⧼mwe-upwiz-license-wikimedia⧽ and the message MediaWiki that I'd created don't display.

For example, I've added this to $wgUploadWizardConfig:

        'licenses' => array(
		'wikimedia' => array(
			'msg' => 'mwe-upwiz-license-wikimedia',
			'templates' => array( 'Wikimedia' )
		),
		'other-wiki' => array(
			'msg' => 'mwe-upwiz-license-other-wiki',
			'templates' => array( 'Other wiki' )
		)
	),
        'licensing' => array(
        'ownWork' => array(
            'type' => 'or',
            'defaults' => 'cc-by-sa',
			'licenses' => array(
				'own',
				'public-domain',
				'cc-by-sa'
            )
		),
		'thirdParty' => array(
			'type' => 'or',
			'defaults' => 'none',
                        'template' => 'self', // this adds a link to Template:Licensing to the file info page
                        'licenseGroups' => array(
				array(
					'head' => 'mwe-upwiz-license-wiki-head',
					'licenses' => array(
						'wikimedia',
						'other-wiki'
					)
				)
                        )
		)
       )

In UploadWizard, the text is shown like this:

⧼mwe-upwiz-license-wiki⧽

• ⧼mwe-upwiz-license-wikimedia⧽
• ⧼mwe-upwiz-license-other-wiki⧽

What can I do? 181.55.114.245 (talk) 03:00, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

mwe-upwiz-license-wiki, mwe-upwiz-license-wikimedia and mwe-upwiz-license-other-wiki are supposed to be message keys. This means you need to create the pages MediaWiki:mwe-upwiz-license-wiki, MediaWiki:mwe-upwiz-license-wikimedia and MediaWiki:mwe-upwiz-license-other-wiki with the text you want to display. This will allow you to provide translations to users using other languages. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:22, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Fetch Only Images from API

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=search&gsrnamespace=0%7C6&gsrsearch=Cocina+La+Ley&gsrlimit=10&prop=imageinfo&format=xml&gsroffset=0

If you browse through some pages you will notice pdf files.

I tried using filetype:bitmap parameter but in case of these API calls the order of images is not the same

Without bitmap parameter - https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=search&gsrnamespace=0%7C6&gsrsearch=chase+%26+status&gsrlimit=10&prop=imageinfo&format=xml&gsroffset=0

As you can see in both API calls order of results is not same.

I want to fetch only png and jpg files from API and also maintain the order of relevance. If not in this API kindly let me know if there is similar API.

Thanks in advance Abhishek1491 (talk) 14:40, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

It may not be possible to do that in the api at all... In that case, the best you can do is to filter the file type on client-slide Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:19, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Error when upgrading while shared database is set

An error occurs when running update.php while shared database is set with a SQLite database. 118.221.206.84 (talk) 00:21, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Please provide more information and/or report a bug Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:13, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

and tags around headers remove their collapsibility on the mobile skin

Is there a way around this? An example can be seen here.

I ran into this issue while attempting to create a mobile version of a page with different elements shown on desktop and mobile with the nodesktop and nomobile classes. I wanted to separate different sections with collapsed headers on mobile so that readers could expand whichever section they wanted to read, but found that the headers were not collapsible anymore. Jaywye (talk) 06:08, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. Is there a reason why a collapsible mobile heading becomes uncollapsible when surrounded by <div>, <span>, or any other tags/attributes? https://i.imgur.com/vtznslm.png Jaywye (talk) 09:50, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Probably a bug. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:38, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Such things break the section detection. (A header creates an 'implied' section, but if you start wrapping things, the implied sections no longer work and you are left with just the headings). —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 10:28, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

UploadStashFileException when uploading image in Visual Editor

Showing a complete table of contents (categories and pages)

Fatal exception of type "Error" on preview

Hello, we've just migrated the data from an old version of Mediawiki / an unsupported OS platform to MediaWIki 1.32.0 / running on PHP 7.0 on Ubuntu 16.04. The migrate was done by building a new platform, copying the SQL data (and image files) from the old system and making minimum necessary changes to the new plarform's configuration file. The data import worked fine, migration script (php /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance/update.php) completed without error, wiki 'mostly' works. The only error is as in the subject when attempting to preview a change (or actually, preview itself, you don't need to change anything, just ask for a preview). These fail with message of the form:

[04f796e3b179a4cdf7946122] 2019-05-20 15:11:35: Fatal exception of type "Error"

with a different number in the square brackets and time stamp.

The web server (nginx 1.16.0) records error messages of the form below, one error message for each attempt to preview:

2019/05/20 15:24:06 [error] 18426#18426: *8136 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Notice:  Undefined property: CKeditorEditPage::$isCssJsSubpage in /usr/share/mediawiki/extensions/WYSIWYG-src/WYSIWYG/CKeditorEditPage.body.php on line 35" while reading response header from upstream, client: [redacted], server: [redacted].com, request: "POST /index.php?title=Category:Sysadmin&action=submit HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock:", host: "[redacted].com", referrer: "https://[redacted].com/index.php?title=Category:Sysadmin&action=edit"

where I've removed the external address of the site and the server name and replaced then with [redacted] instead.

Saving changes *without* preview works fine, the saved pages are rendered correctly. WIth preview it consistently fails with the error message. Matt-at-Penman (talk) 15:36, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

See Manual:How to debug how to get a stacktrace for the fatal exception. Might be the WYSIWYG extension which is not very maintained, see Extension:WYSIWYG. Malyacko (talk) 15:49, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for that, yes, does look like the issue is in WYSIWYG. Below is what is output on the GUI once the debug and stack trace are turned on and I try to preview a page.

Interesting, it looks like wfRunHooks is a deprecated function as of the version this system was built with but is still being called by WYSIWYG... the file identified in the stack trace above at line 36 has

"wfRunHooks( 'EditPageBeforePreviewText', array( &$this, $this->previewOnOpen() ) );

so it appears not to be compatible with the latest MediaWiki version. It's also got at least one other occurrence of wfRunHooks in it.

And testing... it appears that by replacing wfRunHooks at lines 36 and 38 in the referenced file by Hooks::run the issue is resolved... previews work again. Probably would benefit from being fitted into WYSIWYG code... Matt-at-Penman (talk) 11:07, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

My previous comment asked for version information for TimedMediaHandler and a complete stacktrace (having every line end in "..." is not a complete stacktrace), but anyway: /var/www/vhosts/hosting.netcup.net/httpdocs/wiki/extensions/TimedMediaHandler/extension.json does not exist!

So you have to find out why it does not exist. And explain how exactly you install TimedMediaHandler. Malyacko (talk) 11:35, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

That's the stack trace but not the error message. The extension may be missing the id3 library, that you need to get with composer.

Inside the TimedMediaHandler extension directory, run:

composer install --no-dev Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:20, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't have SSH access. But I have the alternative via

{

   "extra": {

       "merge-plugin": {

           "include": [

               "extensions/TimedMediaHandler/composer.json"

           ]

       }

   }

}

Added to the DAtei composer.json. Unfortunately I still get the error message

extensions/TimedMediaHandler/includes/handlers/ID3Handler/ID3Handler.php: Class 'getID3' not found Corraggiouno (talk) 16:51, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Without running composer, adding that line won't do anything...

You can download the TimedMediaHandler folder to your PC, run composer locally to get the id3 library, and upload it again to the server Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:02, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

The file and folder are there on MediaWiki 1.32: includes/filebackend/FileBackendGroup.php.

Either you removed a folder in error, or there's some suspicious activity on your server that's deleting random folders...

I'd download MediaWiki 1.32 again from the official repositories and replace all the files with that. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:34, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Include a table in a template

I'm not sure if I should ask this in the talk page of the related subject or here as I saw a warning trying to add a topic there. So I'm posting here.

I have a template and I'm trying to include a table in it

{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/bubble | content = {{{!}} {{!}} my cell {{!}}- {{!}} my cell {{!}}} }} (Wrong formatting I don't know how to fix it)

But the result is the 'bubble' with raw wikitext in it. Any idea what could cause this and how I can fix it? :) Cheers! Extarys (talk) 00:41, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

What about just sending |mycell1=...|mycell2=... and having the table wikitext in the template itself? Jonathan3 (talk) 06:38, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

What you are saying is that it's impossible? :(

I could create a second template based on the first one for this purpose... I'll investigate, thanks for the idea. Extarys (talk) 19:45, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm not saying it's impossible - I don't know - just that I'd probably do it differently :-) Jonathan3 (talk) 22:11, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Table definitions need to start on a new line, add a new line to your content parameter. 110.145.60.136 (talk) 23:38, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

I see (from clicking "edit") that you do have line returns. Maybe it's a problem with sending the initial and final single curly brackets - maybe use an equivalent to the {{!}} which you are using for sending the | character? Or maybe try sending the table using HTML instead of wikitext? I haven't time to try this so sorry if it wastes yours :-) Jonathan3 (talk) 23:36, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

About the MediaWiki image options

Hello, I'm the one who's using the MediaWiki.

The design that I want is a shape that you can see with a frame or thumbnail option. The one that the box surrounds the painting.

The thumbnail option gives me a satisfactory shape, but it puts a strain on hard capacity by creating a new size image file. (If this is wrong, let me know.)

So I want to be able to resize the image in the frame option, or I want to have another option. What I want is not to create a new size image, but simply to resize the original image. This includes the design I mentioned earlier.

Please answer. 221.162.185.233 (talk) 20:51, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

See Manual:$wgUseImageResize how to change the new size image files behavior.

InstantCommons problem

Hello, I have found that loading speed when reading some specific documents using the MediaWiki is slower than other documents.

I checked the commonality of slow loading documents to see what's wrong with them, and I found that I used InstantComons to insert files from Wikipedia Commons.

I'd like to know what caused this case. 49.251.36.216 (talk) 21:59, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

When I had this problem some years ago and digged into it, found that InstantCommons performs the image checks sequentially which, when you are using many images, is slow and user noticeable (specially taking into account that you are performing remote connection).

Categories aren't populated after XML import, refreshLinks, and runJobs

I've read Project:Support desk/Flow/2018/12#h-XML_import_not_populating_categories-MediaWiki_1.31_internal_error-2018-12-21T09:50:00.000Z. I'm running MW 1.31.1, PHP 7.2, Apache2 with APCu.

If I import a large number of XML-exported pages via Special:Import, the categories for those pages aren't populated until I edit and save a new revision on each page, or run a bot to touch each page without revising them.

Project:Support desk/Flow/2018/12#h-XML_import_not_populating_categories-MediaWiki_1.31_internal_error-2018-12-21T09:50:00.000Z strongly suggests this is a symptom of the job queue not having been run, but I've got the runJobs.php maintenance task running every 30 seconds. The topic also suggests running refreshLinks.php to force reparsing the page; this also does not work.

Are there any other options that don't require running a bot across all of the imported pages after each import? PFWOz (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

refreshLinks.php should work. If it doesn't, then there's a job queue problem, maybe caused by a misbehaving extension that crashes when the LinksUpdate jobs are run or inserted on the job queue.

Enable the display of PHP errors and add logs for errors and exceptions, as explained in Manual:How_to_debug Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:22, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

This is on a stock tarball install of 1.31.1 so no added extensions. Debug logging did not log crashes or errors, the imported pages simply are not being queued until touched. I've abandoned the project as a result but will revisit if I try again and file a bug if this behavior persists. PFWOz (talk) 16:19, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback : Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab}

HI,

After we upgrade MediaWiki 1.30.0 to latest LTS version of MediaWiki 1.31.1. We fell into math rending issue with following ERROR.

"Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab}"

I have checked that we are getting the PNG(680e5ed23df897dbdd0502298a168b91.png) under /data/www/html/wiki/images/math after I ran following command in shell. But, still we are getting above math rendering Error on page.

From the Math Extension Installation Guide it's mentioned that now we need to install mathoid for MediaWiki >= 1.31

We did not install mathoid earlier in our RHEL7 server. So please help us with the complete installation & configuration of mathoid.

Thanks in Adv,

Hi, do you have a specific question? (You likely do not ask anyone to copy the content of Extension:Math#Mathoid into this thread?) Malyacko (talk) 09:26, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

could you let know why we need these additional Mathoid server installation required since earlier MediaWiki 1.30.0 version is just working fine with Math/LaTex render to PNG. Sanjay (talk) 11:29, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Cannot access the database: :real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to move a legacy install of MediaWiki from a dead server to a new one.

I have exported my old postgres Database, reimported on the new server, and installed MediaWiki 1.32.0

I'm having trouble to connect to the database, during install I'm using :

Database Type : MariaDB, MySQL, or compatible

Database Host : Localhost

Database name : wikidb (an empty DB I created for testing)

Database table prefix : *left empty*

Database username: wikiuser

Database password : password

Wich throw back this error :

Cannot access the database: :real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory.

I've create the testing DB + User as suggested in MediaWiki doc :

CREATE USER wikiuser WITH NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOSUPERUSER ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password'; CREATE DATABASE wikidb WITH OWNER wikiuser;

I'm having trouble troubleshooting this, any help would be appreciated, while I continue to poke around.

Many thanks !

Maybe I'm thinking it's too simple, but is your web hosting software's database module (e.g. MySQL) turned on? For example, if you're using XAMPP (v3.2.4 is what I use as of this writing), in the Control Panel, there is the option to "Start" your MySQL. If it's not running, you won't be able to set up your DB. 174.56.68.128 (talk) 16:49, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Googling brought me here. I may not have the exact same configuration (I'm using a synology NAS) but I got this same error message while attempting to upgrade old mediawiki.

Page will not accept changes

Categories are not updated except using rebuildall.php script

I have the same problem as others with the categories, when I assign a category to a page, it is assigned well, but in the category page it indicates that there is no page. Pass with all categories. I am using version 1.32.1 under PHP 7.3.

I have tried with runjobs.php but it does nothing, the categories remain empty.

I have set the command $wgRunJobsAsync = False in LocalSettings.php and nothing, there is no way that the categories appear.

Only by running rebuildall.php all the categories appear correctly.

I've been reading and testing everything for days and I can not get the categories out automatically, the only way is with rebuildall.

Some solution to try. ToniBC78 (talk) 12:55, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

I had a similar problem (with MW 1.31) and updating Extension:Cargo the running Manual:rebuildall.php solved it. The difference as that rebuildapp.php gave an error message identifying the (old version of the) extension as the problem. But I guess it could be a problem with some other extension which you have. Maybe disable them and see if it works. Jonathan3 (talk) 23:39, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Internal links not working correctly with 1.32.1 upgrade

We recently upgraded to 1.32.1 and now our internal links list the title of the page (DISPLAYTITLE) instead of the title given in the code. The code has not changed since the upgrade. Here is an example of the code:

*[[GuidedResearch:Bedfordshire| Bedfordshire]]
*[[GuidedResearch:Berkshire|Berkshire]]
*[[GuidedResearch:Buckinghamshire|Buckinghamshire]]

Before upgrade:

• Bedfordshire
• Berkshire
• Buckinghamshire
  
  

After upgrade:

• Bedfordshire GuidedResearch
• Berkshire GuidedResearch
• Buckinghamshire GuidedResearch

*** Note: the titles in the links now reflect the <nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:{{{Location|}}} Guided Research}} which is defined on each page. ***

How can we get these links to use the title listed in the link?

Thank you in advance. AmieH (talk) 19:22, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

ImageMap Error

I am trying to install GraphViz, but it is requiring that the ImageMap extension be downloaded as well. I downloaded the file and placed it in the extensions folder named ImageMap, and added the wfLoadtExtension in localsettings. I go to my wiki's version and it appears that it all downloaded correctly. However, when I go to update the composer later on I get a blaring error:

Then, I go back to my wiki and it stops working. Upon looking in my extensions folder, I find that the entire ImageMap folder was essentially deleted. I am not really sure where to go from here.

Command.php: proc_open() returned error

I am attempting to install MediaWiki 1.32.1 (also tried with 1.32.0 and 1.31.1). I have access to server with PHP 7.3, only via FTP, no ssh.

I run installation process and on the next step after selecting languages I get the following error:

"/bajka/mw-config/index.php?page=Welcome MediaWiki\ProcOpenError from line 380 of /home/users/ink/www/bajka/includes/shell/Command.php: proc_open() returned error!"

I was sure this was a common issue, but surprisingly I could not google the exact error message anywhere in connection to MediaWiki (only issues with proc_open() disabled). Is this a server configuration issue (not much flexibility there with my hosting provider) or is there another cause of this problem? Is there anything I can on my side to fix this? 195.189.85.63 (talk) 10:29, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Your hosting probably has limited the access to proc_open() functions (that's usually the case on cheap shared hosts). Check if your hosting allows proc_open Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:37, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

LocalSettings.php Not Found after upgrading MediaWiki 1.32 on Fedora

(Scarcely a new topic, but I don't seem to be able to add to previous posts)

I am upgrading to 1.32.1 on Fedora 30, having done a fresh install on a new server, but using the (upgraded) database from the previous version, 1.26 of F24. I have the LocalSettings.php file in my wiki folder, in my case /var/www/wiki, alongside index.php etc. After running through all the previous answers to this problem, checking permissions, SELinux, etc, I tracked the call to LocalSettings to includes/WebStart.php, and found it was looking for it in the install dir, /usr/share/mediawiki. I added a soft link there back to the "proper" LocalSettings.php and all was fine.

So I don't really have a question, except "Is this how it should work ?" - I rather gather not - and I thought I should pass on the experience.

John 182.239.180.188 (talk) 22:28, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

That's probably a problem on Fedora package.

MediaWiki is usually placed directly on the web server root and not on a totally unrelated folder. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:33, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

John - thank you for your post. I had the same issue, upgrading from Fedora 29/ MediaWiki 1.29 to F30 and MW 1.32.1. Installed at the root - /var/www/html. Your softlink idea fixed the issue for me as well. I have no idea if that is how it is supposed to be, but I read this will cause issues with people that run multiple wiki's on the same server. 2601:18A:C401:307C:5EEB:B79F:F84A:B998 (talk) 18:32, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

It seems that the problem is caused by the change in the following statements in includes/WebStart.php, from

IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );

if ( $IP === false ) {

        $IP = realpath( '.' ) ?: dirname( __DIR__ );

}

to

IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );

if ( $IP === false ) {

        $IP = dirname( __DIR__ );

}

Without realpath('.'), the files can NOT work with symlinks and can NOT easily shared by multiple wikis on a single site (because $IP is NOT set correctly).

Indeed, I have a few mediawiki wikis on a single machine running Fedora 30, and after updating to 1.32.2 rpm they don't run.

Could you put the realpath('.') statement back  ???

Thanks in advance.

Kazuyoshi KazuyoshiFurutaka (talk) 09:12, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

You can set the MW_INSTALL_PATH environment variable in apache so it finds the correct path. See the SetEnv Apache directive. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:11, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Can it be used for multiple wikis in the same machine?; e.g. http://a.wiki.machine/wikiA/ and http://a.wiki.machine/wikiB/

Kazuyoshi KazuyoshiFurutaka (talk) 10:43, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

I don't know how is your "wiki farm" set up, so it will largely depend on how do you define different settings for each wiki Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 11:10, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Very simple.

There're several wiki directories under /var/www/wiki (e.g. /var/www/wiki/wikiA, /var/www/wiki/wikiB, ...) and there's a LocalSettings.php in each directory; mediawiki files in the common /usr/share/mediawiki directory are shared via simlinks.

(I'm afraid a single httpd configuration (say MW_INSTALL_PATH) is shared by the wikis)

Kazuyoshi 240F:80:B046:1:69EF:D187:FC64:FDDA (talk) 13:34, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Set MW_INSTALL_PATH to /usr/share/mediawiki, and WIKI_PATH to wikiA in the first case, or wikiB in the second, and then inside the LocalSettings of /usr/share/mediawiki require_once('/var/www/wiki/' . $_ENV['WIKI_PATH'] . '/LocalSettings.php'); Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 15:58, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

See bugzilla 1718580, specifically (DaveG 2019-07-14 02:14:09 UTC). I cannot include the link so posting the basics here. This is FC30 specific and addin to what Ciencia already pointed out,

Add a Directory entry for each wiki to /etc/httpd/conf.d/mediawiki.conf like below and restart httpd.

<Directory /some/wiki/dir>

    SetEnv MW_INSTALL_PATH "/some/wiki/dir"

    AllowOverride None

    Require all granted

</Directory>

If you get an error 500 after and are upgrading, check /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log as it's probably choking loading something not included with the latest build. Remove it from LocalSettings.php and it should work. 98.194.73.219 (talk) 05:10, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

I too struggled with the FC30 changes in mediawiki. And, thanks to Johns comments am back and running again. This had me stumped for several weeks since I just did not have the time to research it. Now, something that worked for the past 10 years was broken in FC30, with no clear information on how to fix it -- is very sad.

I am also trying to now figure out how to run multiple wikis and that is broken. Ciencia Al Poder -- appreciate your comments, but they are too terse for the normal person. May help those who do not need help and can figure it out with a few hints. Will greatly appreciate the code fragments and in which files..

Page owner

What extensions or techniques can be used to keep track of the page owner on a wiki? The purpose is twofold, to avoid edit conflicts and to emphasize an author's responsibility for a wiki page until it is completed. This should be installable at wikimedia wikis. Gryllida 09:38, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

What is a "page owner" in which concept? What defines a "completed" page? Malyacko (talk) 12:32, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Page owner is someone who is working on completing the page. Completed means approved by another user (think like 'reviewed' at Wikipedia). The 'page owner(s)' should receive notifications of page status changes (approved, rejected, revision requested, etc). Gryllida 23:10, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

I have Synology NAS installed and I am trying to run mediawiki on it.But whenever i try to update mediawiki by running the "update.php" script,It says i am missing a PHP extension namely,"phpinfo".I tried numerous ways to get phpinfo but all have gone in vain.

I have PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.2 installed and this extension is supposed to be enabled by default.However even after resttarting PHP the extension is not getting enabled.

Multi 'page language' wiki

I seem to get more and more lost here - please help! I am trying to setup a multi language Wiki but I struggle with the simplest things. My wiki is Danish, but I want it to support English and probably the Scandinavian languages. The universal language selection works just fine - but I struggle getting 'page language' to work.

• It seems like I can not create a new page in English, i tried to use the $wgPageLanguageUseDB = true; option, where I can set the page-language after the page is created (the page_lang field is set). But then other problems appears.
• When I try to export/Import that page the language is not preserved... I actually aim to import some 400 corresponding pages in Danish/English. But it seems that the export/import from/to an other language does not work?
• Also, How can I establish that a page in language1 corresponds to language2 - say in Wikipedia there is an article for Kant in both languages, they are corresponding... but it is not the same contents (translated).
• Also Quite basically - how do I get the "other languages" options to show up?

Edit summary blacklist

Hi all, Is it possible to block URLs from edit summaries? Someone posted a bunch of spam edit summaries, I don't see any benefit in allowing URLs to be posted so I'd like to block this.

Thanks Garuda3 (talk) 14:14, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Also, "edit summary" appears a few times on the hooks.txt page so probably you could remove URLs from edit summaries using an extension or maybe code in LocalSettings.php. Jonathan3 (talk) 00:09, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I didn't realise Spam Blacklist covered summaries, so I'll keep that in mind. It was a YouTube URL so not something I wish to block across the whole site, so I guess I'll leave it for now. It seems like this attack was a one-off. Garuda3 (talk) 12:38, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

MW Update from 1.23.17 to 1.31.1

Hi. I procrastinated a little bit with updating this wiki here:

• www.mobadaten.info

It still runs with MW 1.23.17. Part of the problem is the server's PHP version, which is still 5.3.29. Now is the time to update this wiki because my provider wants to decommission this old server and so the wiki will be moved to another server by my provider. At the end I want to update to the LTS version MW 1.31.1.

But the question is, can this be done in "one step" or are there "more steps" needed?

"One step" would mean:

1. The MW 1.23.17 wiki is moved to another server
2. PHP is updated from 5.3.29/5.5.9/5.6.x to 7.2
3. Update from 1.23.17 directly to 1.31.1 via web browser
4. Execute the usual adjustments to the extensions

"More steps" would mean:

1. The MW 1.23.17 wiki is moved to another server
2. PHP is updated from 5.3.29 to 5.6.x
3. Update from 1.23.17 to 1.27.5 via web browser
4. Execute the usual adjustments for the extensions
5. PHP is updated from 5.6.x to 7.2
6. Update from 1.27.5 to 1.31.1 via web browser
7. Execute the usual adjustments to the extensions

Many thanks to an answer in advance! Wgkderdicke (talk) 15:02, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

This probably won't help much, but I'm fairly certain (not sure) that in the past when jumping from an old version, I have just upgraded PHP first (even if incompatible the old MW version), got the new MW files, then run the update script. Jonathan3 (talk) 23:46, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

So you suggest to do it in "one step"? Wgkderdicke (talk) 01:28, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

This may depend on how much you value site and the traffic rate of your site. It sounds tempting for "one step", but if there is an accident when upgrading, you may need a recovery time longer than "More steps". From site stability, I recommend "More steps". 星耀晨曦 (talk) 20:01, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Personally I'd just go for it. The upgrade page talks about upgrading from "a really old version" in one step, and say that unless you'd on version 1.4 or older it should work fine: Manual:Upgrading#How_do_I_upgrade_from_a_really_old_version?_In_one_step,_or_in_several_steps?. Jonathan3 (talk) 22:08, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Well, it is a hobby site. There is no need to keep permanently an eye on the traffic rate or such things. This site can be offline for minutes, hours or days without any consequences. My provider will keep a backup so I can start twice or oftener from the beginning with the upgrade. So if there is an accident during the database upgrade, I can start very quick again. But without any accident I had to lay hands on the non-bundled extensions only once. Because this, so my experience, is the real and annyoing work on the software update.

I don't think Skin:Minerva Neue is recommended for just MediaWiki 1.30+. It has been working fine for previous versions too.

Just try downloading and installing the skin for versions 1.27 and 1.29 (for some reason 1.28 doesn't appear to be available). AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:31, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Note that MediaWiki 1.28 is not a supported MediaWiki version and has probably security vulnerabilities. You should upgrade to a supported version.

Also note that on previous versions, the skin was simply "Minerva" and was part of MobileFrontEnd and not a separate skin. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:27, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

1.27 is EOL this week. 1.28, 1.29, and 1.30 have not had security fixes since November 2017, July 2018, and December 2018 respectively. I would very strongly encourage you to upgrade to 1.32, the latest release. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 17:27, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the upgrade recommendation. I tried. Then I came across so many errors. I had to restore everything back.

In 2016 upgrading to 1.28.2 was not a problem.
