How to call LTR templates in an RTL fashion?

I have an RTL (Hebrew) 1.34.0 principally all-core MediaWiki website with Cite extension and ParserFunctions extension loaded in LocalSettings.php.

In that website I have the following Template:Cite which I use to create LTR (English) footnotes in English-only webpages:

<includeonly>{{#if:{{{refname|}}}
| {{#tag:ref|{{{content|}}}|name={{{refname}}}}}
| {{#tag:ref|{{{content|}}}}}
}}</includeonly>

Credit for @Jonathan3 for developing this template.

• Examples for how I call this template in an LTR fashion (English) are available in this specific post.
• I have already created and redirected the webpage תבנית:הערה to that webpage (Template:Cite).
• תבנית:הערה means in Hebrew, in that case, Template:Cite.

My problem

I desire to call Template:Cite (most likely by its תבנית:הערה redirect) in an RTL fashion (Hebrew), as with:

בדיקה_ראשונה{{הערה|תוכן=בדיקה_ראשונה}}

בדיקה_שנייה{{הערה|תוכן=בדיקה_שנייה|שם=שם_ראשון}}
בדיקה שלישית{{הערה|שם=שם_ראשון}}

But I don't know how to do it.

My question

How to call Template:Cite / תבנית:הערה in an RTL fashion (Hebrew)?

Calls should be only in Hebrew, otherwise I'll have various bidirectionality issues. 182.232.57.75 (talk) 02:29, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Autoconfirmed User Group + LDAP Group Mapping not working

I want the majority of users who are authenticated by remote_auth to be able to read pages only, but not to be able to move/edit/create etc. I tired to edit 'auto confirmed' to have limited privileges, but I don't know what the short name is for the config file?

$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmedusers']['edit'] = false; ?

If I just remove that group does everyone just become a 'user'?

I also tried to use AD group mappings, but it doesn't seem to be adding any users to my custom group. MyAdmins is a security group, but I also tired the OU 'myuser'.

'groupsync' => [

Need Help Upgrading MediaWiki

Have been asked by my web host to upgrade MediaWiki from 1.24.0 to 1.27 for security reasons. The server has PHP 5.6.40 (litespeed) and MySQL 5.7.30. I have access to Softaculous but had problems using this last time I upgraded and I've read on here that it's not a good idea to upgrade in this way. Am looking for someone to effect the upgrade for me, please. Seedier Wiki (talk) 09:18, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

What is "this way" exactly?

Also, see Professional development and consulting. Malyacko (talk) 12:02, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

"This way" referred to using the Softaculous script through my CPanel to upgrade Mediawiki. I was hoping to persuade someone on here to carry out the upgrade for me without using Softaculous. Seedier Wiki (talk) 13:32, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

note: 1.27 is still insanely old and no longer recieving security updates.

User registration

Please elaborate how you identify users, which made you come to the conclusion that users created additional accounts. Malyacko (talk) 12:01, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

if you mean the create account for another user option, you could adjust the permissions config of the wiki so that * has createaccoynt rights, but "user" has the right revoked, but im not sure why you would want to do that as people could just log out to create accounts.

Creation of new accounts

I am stuck with creating a new account.

are you talking about mediawiki?

We do not send passwords after email verification. If your account was created by email (unlikely if you were doing it yourself) then you would be sent the email immediately. Otherwise you should have provided a password when creating the account.

Note: if this is Wikipedia's ACC process, it might be different, i dknt know much about it. Bawolff (talk) 19:13, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Is it a best practice to explicitly call all parameters in template-calls in MediaWiki templates?

In an RTL (Hebrew) MediaWiki 1.34.0 website with Cite extension and ParserFunctions extension loaded in LocalSettings.php I use the following template to create references for English text.

Template:Cite

<includeonly>{{#if:{{{name|}}}
    | {{#tag:ref|{{{content|}}}|name={{{name}}}}}
    | {{#tag:ref|{{{content|}}}}}
}}</includeonly>

Credit for @Johnatan3 for essentially developing the above template.

Calling Template:Cite

Input

First check{{Cite|content=First check}}
Second check{{Cite|content=Second check|name=First_name}}
Third check {{Cite|name=First_name}}

<references />

Output

First check Second check Third check

1. ^ First check
2. ^ ^{לקפוץ מעלה אל:2.0 2.1} Second check

My problem

I don't know if it's a best practice to explicitly call parameters (or at least, all parameters) when calling a template in MediaWiki;

For example, in Hebrew Wikipedia I have seldom created references for articles and when these references were named (i.e contain a name HTML attribute) I just wrote:

{{הערה|מידע_ההערה|שם=xyz}}

I didn't put a parameter call such as תוכן= (content=) before מידע_ההערה (REFERENCE_INFORMATION) but rather, only before שם ("name"). If I would explicitly call all parameters in a the template call we would have:

{{הערה|תוכן=מידע_ההערה|שם=xyz}}

But Hebrew Wikipedia allows to omit the first parameter call somehow (perhaps based on the fact that it's the first parameter call).

My question

Is it a best practice to explicitly call all parameters in template-calls in MediaWiki templates?

@Johnatan3 wouldn't you prefer to make it redundant to call content= (i.e תוכן=) at least in cases were it is the first parameter? 182.232.57.75 (talk) 16:26, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

It's just how the code developed in the other thread, but you could change it to:

<includeonly>{{#if:{{{name|}}}
| {{#tag:ref|{{{1|}}}|name={{{name}}}}}
| {{#tag:ref|{{{1|}}}}}
}}</includeonly>

Then you would call it as you suggest (i.e. the "name" parameter has to be stated as "name=" but the content parameter just has to be the first parameter). Jonathan3 (talk) 21:00, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

This wouldn't work if you do it the wrong way round, e.g. {{cite | name = greetings | how do you do}}. I think that's because there is no {{{1 }}} parameter in that case. Jonathan3 (talk) 21:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

This wouldn't work if you do it the wrong way round, e.g. {{cite | name = greetings | how do you do}}. I think that's because there is no {{{1}}} parameter in that case.

MediaWiki 1.35 has not yet been released. You have probably cloned directly from the `master` branch of the development repository, which is not recommended. Please see Download for more information about how to get MediaWiki.

If you really want to use `master` branch you will probably need to run `composer update` from the installation directory, so library dependencies like "LightnCandy" can be resolved. Osnard (talk) 15:13, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

I have an RTL (Hebrew) principally all-core 1.34.0 MediaWiki website with Cite extension and ParserFunctions extensions loaded in LocalSettings.php.

In that website I use the following RTLized Cite template to create RTL (Hebrew) Cite footnotes in a Scribunto/Lua-free way.

Template:Cite (תבנית:הערה):

<includeonly>{{#תנאי:{{{שם|}}}
    | {{#תגית:ref|{{{תוכן|}}}|name={{{שם}}}}}
    | {{#תגית:ref|{{{תוכן|}}}}}
}}</includeonly>

Please review my testing pages for this RTL (Hebrew) Cite footnotes template

The following two testing pages:

1) בדיקה:הערה עם קריאה לפרמטרים ללא שיום בעברית

2) בדיקה:הערה עם קריאה לפרמטרים עם שיום בעברית

are exampling the input by which I call the above template (תבנית:הערה), as well as it's output;

Because this site (mediawiki.org) is LTR and biased by local scripts (all תבנית:הערה appear is Template:הערה), the source code isn't parsed correctly below but you could access it by viewing the source code of the current webpage.

If you don't speak Hebrew, using machine translation might be good enough when trying two review both testing pages.

Please be more specific what "review" means. Or why to review. Malyacko (talk) 07:12, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

@Malyacko

By "review" I mean to go through at least each input line in each of the two testing (בדיקה) namespace pages and impress if something is redundant (in the sense that it is already encapsulated in an adjacent test).

Beyond that, someone point out some crucial content structure/s I might have missed or just write something differently.

It should be best to review in a similar RTL (Hebrew) MediaWiki installment as of mine (described in the opening passage of the first post).

While all my tests came out fine and demonstrate that creating footnotes works, a review isn't urgent because I don't have much experience with source code testing in general, other people and myself might learn something from a review. 182.232.1.159 (talk) 11:26, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Reflist tag strange behaviour

Hello, I am trying to add a reference list to an article in my wiki. However, when I do {{RefList|group=lower-alpha}} or simply {{RefList}} I get a link to a non existant page "Template: RefList" and although I do get a reference list after that link, I do not get the reference list grouped by lowercase letter, but by numbers instead. I can't figure out what's causing this. I would appreciate help.

Thank you very much. Sam sepia (talk) 10:42, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

"Reflist" is a template not internal magic, so you have to create the template first. See English Wikipedia version: w:Template:Reflist. It's a bit complicated though. For the lower-alpha grouping, you've to create page similar to w:MediaWiki:Cite link label group-lower-alpha and make sure the template is set up to work with it correctly. Ammarpad (talk) 12:45, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I understand now, however, when I check the English Wikipedia RefList template, I can't see the code that's being used to generate those templates, I just see a website with documentation and when I view the code is has this stuff starting with a <div>, yet when I paste that code into my template I get a scrambled output, not really a working RefList template. Thanks for the reply. Sam sepia (talk) 14:00, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

It is a PHP script file which should already be present inside your <mediawiki_folder>/maintenance directory. See Manual:Maintenance scripts for details on running such scripts. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:27, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Blocked by MediaWiki?

I tried to create an account on a wiiki (https://uncyclopedia.ca) that runs on MediaWiki and I saw this message:

Your username or IP address has been automatically blocked by MediaWiki. The reason given is:

Your IP address is listed as an open proxy in the SORBS DNSBL. Too bad for you. Ha!

How is this possible if I am able to log in and post this message here?

(If I'm asking in the wrong place, please let me know where I should go for help) DarklitShadow (talk) 17:54, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

They have enabled Manual:$wgSorbsUrl and you get a message from https://uncyclopedia.ca/wiki/MediaWiki:Sorbsreason

Uncyclopedia is totally different wiki than mediawiki.org (or any other Wikimedia website) so of course you can write here. Uncyclopedia only use the MediaWiki software. Stryn (talk) 18:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Is there anything I can do to get myself unblocked there or is this a warning sign of a bigger problem such as "Hey buddy, you email address is compromised"

(I couldn't design a web site, let alone run an open proxy.

This was the first time I attempted to access the site.

I received the same message on https://uncyclopedia.co (first fork of Uncyclopedia) but I was able to successfully log in despite seeing the exact same message.

The only thing that might be worth noting is that currently two other devices on my network are working from home. DarklitShadow (talk) 18:14, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

It does not indicate anything about your email address. It may indicate that your machine is compromised and thus your IP has been used to send spam, but more than likely it indicates that either you are using VPN (and so all your traffic originates from a specific IP, which is or has been also used by spammers), or the IP range provided by your ISP has been used for spam by other people in that network range. In the former case try without the VPN or use a different exit point. In the latter case consider switching ISPs.

The other solution is to contact an admin at the website and see if they are willing to create an account for you. Clump (talk) 19:46, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Hmmm... there are only three things I can think that can possibly be related but I have no idea if any of them could cause this:

1. BitDefender sometimes warns me that a port scan was just blocked.
2. BitDefender occasionally tells me that Microsoft Books has an out of date certificate.
3. I have a second email which in the form "first.last AT [domain] and my last name contains two of the same letter sequentially. When it was created, I added a third and a month on a gmail forum trying to figure out why I wasn't getting email DarklitShadow (talk) 20:07, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

None of that is relevant: it is your IP address. Either you need to change that at least long enough to create an account (e.g., try creating an account from work instead of home, or by using your phone (while using data, not wifi), asking a friend with a different ISP, ...), or you need to get someone at uncyclopedia to help. If they hard-block your IP range even for logged in users (unlikely, but dunno) then the latter may be your only solution. Clump (talk) 20:58, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Have domain.tld/ show the domain.tld/Main_Page content

I have all my articles in the root like domain.tld/Main_Page and domain.tld/Special:SpecialPages. I know the pros and cons of this and I'm comfortable with them. Right now I'm trying to make it so domain.tld/Main_Page loads the domain.tld/Main_Page content, and if you go to domain.tld/Main_Page it takes you to domain.tld/. Is that possible?

My LocalSettings.php has:

$wgScriptPath = "/w";

$wgUsePathInfo = true;

$wgArticlePath = "/$1";

And my .htaccess has:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

DISPLAYTITLE is not working and places articles in the "Pages with ignored display titles" category

I'd like to have my article urls to be all lower case, but I'd like to have my display title capitalized. All my articles have a slash in them and are in the format of numbers, slash, then letters. For example: "123/abc". In each article I have "{{DISPLAYTITLE:123/ABC}}". Unfortunately my display title is showing in lower case and the article is put in the category: Pages with ignored display titles. Am I doing something wrong?

In LocalSettings.php I have:

$wgCapitalLinks = false; 144.51.12.18 (talk) 19:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Maybe with $wgCapitalLinks = false it thinks 123/abc is the same as 123/ABC so ignores it... what happens with that set to true?

Maybe add something to the new display title to get round that? E.g. an extra character. Jonathan3 (talk) 20:43, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

It didn't make a difference with $wgCapitalLinks set to true or true. I also moved the page to remove the slash and I removed the slash in displaytitle too, but still no difference. (I cleared my cache each time.) 144.51.12.18 (talk) 20:50, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

displaytitle only lets you change the name to a page thats equivalent. You can have separate articles 123/abc and 123/ABC so they are not considered equivalent.

Set $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false; to remove this restriction.

P.s.

$wgCapitalLinks only controls the case sensitivity of the first letter of title. Bawolff (talk) 21:16, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase... Jonathan3 (talk) 21:56, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

It is possible to disable that restriction with:

$wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false;.

Manual:$wgAllowDisplayTitle

OR, What about using a different extension to achieve a different display title?

Extension:Display Title

Also, why not just use css to override the first page header CSS to be all capitals if you want them all caps (by targeting the first header style and then using text-transform: capitalize )? Then you don’t even have to set a display title on every page, it’ll affect all first titles site-wide when set on the correct selector.

Any suggestions? Minic Space (talk) 20:05, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

whats the error from update.php? Bawolff (talk) 21:12, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi everybody :-)

Have the same issue here. Made the mistake to press the update button on the mediawiki app inside my synology nas. For all other servers and stuff this worked for years so I was confident to do so with mediawiki as well.

how do i - run my application's database schema updater after upgrading - on my synology? googled for that, but suggesting "run update.php" did not help, because i cannot find update.php. Can someone please explain dumb synology useres like me what to do when getting this error? normaly we are just fine pressing an update button. In this case I am happy to extend my LocalSettings.php file too, to get this error messages:

To update the schema you can use php maintenance/update.php. Taavi (talk!) 15:53, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

aehm.. jaaa... I got it. Here comes the simple solution for not so synology users facing the same problem after updating to Mediawiki 1.33.1 on a Synology Disk Station whith the error 'Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1587'

• Make backups from everything (database, files, all you have)
• Enable the ssh login inside Synology Disk Station (Terminal & SNMP Section)
• Download putty.exe for ssh access, open putty.exe and connect on port 22 to the ip address of your nas. (agree to the certificate if asked).
• Use the admin user with admin pw from your nas as login
• Enter 'sudo -i' and use the same password again.
• At the # prompt enter 'cd /volume1/web/mediawiki/maintenance' (maybe another volume name, whatever you use)
• There you enter 'php72 update.php'
• This now may run for 10-30 minutes or longer (depends on the size of your wiki). Look at the interesting things that will happen and wait until its's over.

Enter 'exit' twice to leave ssh shell and try to open up the wiki again in the browser. In my case it worked. Hope this could help.

Don't forget to disable the ssh login again, and if the wiki works now, make another backup from this newer version - backups can never be wrong :-)

Good luck,

yes for all of these, however for some of these you can only do the query for one specific language edition of wikipedia.

Wiki problem

My wiki looks like this is the solution

Hello World !!

I'm really interested in working with MediaWiki. But I'm very new to this environment. I feel a bit clumsy with many things integrated in the home page. I'm feeling difficulty in checking projects and how to contribute to a project.

Basically, I'm presently in my third year of Graduation. I have written python scripts and I'm willing to contribute completely to MediaWiki and stay connected to MediaWiki. I hope if anyone could guide me from scratch and help me to know all the resources, I would check all the possibilities and make my time useful by contributing into MediaWiki Projects. 43.225.23.193 (talk) 19:05, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Wiki spreading false information about political candidates.

calling api 'parse', does not return usable source for wikitext-generated images

so, there is somewhat esoteric ways to generate images from wiki text. specifically, by ways of module:graph, maybe in other ways too.

example of of wiki-text that produces an image, on hewiki: he:Template:צפיות

when this template is put in a table, it shows a graph, created "ad-hoc" by a module that can harvest some reliable data-sources, such as the view counters.

when i call this from the Api, using javascript, i used to get back a piece of html which displayed the graph. i did not look into it, so i do not know what was the url of the image source.

we actually used it to show a "last 90 days view graph" on the special:PageInfo page.

some time ago, (can't tell when. more than a year for sure) this stopped working, and i didn't look too deeply into it, just removed it from the special page, and wrote off a cute script that displayed a "view graph" popup.

now, some people are asking to revive it, so i looked into the call, the image src looks like so:

src=\"/api/rest_v1/page/graph/png/API/0/a73fcf01d9cef78b1746e97134b66fc190c1db6b.png\

and i wonder, is there a way to get the actual image? or rather, a way to convert this to a source that will display the image?

FWIW, the source returned when placing the template on a page looks like so, which turns out to be a valid image that displays on the page: /api/rest_v1/page/graph/png/משתמש:קיפודנחש/ארגח/0/5b906468a30a2837ae447bd1b372e687fbfc067f.png

let me paste the full piece of html returned by the parse call (collapsed on the right):

<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><div class=\"mw-graph\" style=\"min-width:900px;min-height:200px\"><img class=\"mw-graph-img\" src=\"/api/rest_v1/page/graph/png/API/0/a73fcf01d9cef78b1746e97134b66fc190c1db6b.png\" /></div>\n\n<!-- \nNewPP limit report\nParsed by mw1359\nCached time: 20200608014129\nCache expiry: 2592000\nDynamic content: false\nComplications: []\nCPU time usage: 0.036 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.052 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 90/1000000\nPost‐expand include size: 257/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 126/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 10/40\nExpensive parser function count: 1/500\nUnstrip recursion depth: 0/20\nUnstrip post‐expand size: 181/5000000 bytes\nNumber of Wikibase entities loaded: 0/400\nLua time usage: 0.009/10.000 seconds\nLua memory usage: 677 KB/50 MB\n-->\n<!--\nTransclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template)\n100.00%   48.060      1 תבנית:צפיות\n100.00%   48.060      1 -total\n 18.10%    8.697      1 תבנית:PageViews_graph\n  5.88%    2.827      1 תבנית:Trim\n-->\n</div>

Why Mobile View Greying Out Images

After years reading and editing articles on my iPad Mini4, just in last several days article images became grey boxes the size of the article images with instructions at the bottom, and inside, of each box to tap to see the image. Tiresome and takes away from reading to continually tap to see images. Have cleared browser just in case and checked all my settings but, as I wrote, have never had this problem before in years. Have always used Safari w/ Google as search engine in Private mode (which I have used for years, also.) Noticed that images return if I disable Javascript, but don’t want to continue this for the usual reasons and, as with my other settings, have had it enabled for years. ????? Thanks 2601:C6:D400:330:547D:21A9:29E8:2939 05:40, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Which exact browser and exact browser version is this about? Malyacko (talk) 16:46, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Same problem. My iPad Mini 4 has Safari version 13 (iPadOS 13.5.1) while the iPad’s Safari entry just gives a selection of Search Engines: Google, Yahoo, etc. and you select one. Have selected Google, then Yahoo, then Bing, and then DuckDuckGo - all with same results as above. 128GB iPad w/cellular w/3.9GB stored in iCloud. Images visible w/o tapping only if Javascript disabled. ? Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 04:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Can someone please provide clear, complete, exact steps where (full URL) to see some problem after providing which actions? We have no idea which website this is about so far. Thanks. Malyacko (talk) 05:24, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

This occurs when you go to any Wikipedia article. So if you put in the name of a notable person in the iPad search engine (in this case Google - Apple Safari does not let you chose Google Chrome, only Google, Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo) then scroll down to the Wikipedia entry for the person and tap on it the article appears as usual, but with images are greyed out. This graying out of images happens for any and every Wikipedia article selected. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 02:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Might be related to lazy loading images. Is there anything shown in the developer tools of that web browser? Malyacko (talk) 17:06, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Autologin users without password ?

I need to connect mediawiki with an sso system based on Jasny/sso. It works on Mediawiki 1.25.2 by using AuthRemoteuser plugin but I need to upgrade Mediawiki to 1.33.1 version. In this version AuthRemoteuser plugin doesn't work anymore; I tried to use SessionManager and AuthManager plugins but they don't do what I want. Is there a way to log in Mediawiki users only with their username, without having their password ? The sso system automatically detect when the users have to be connected, all the hooks needed on Mediawiki are in place : I just need the code who create the user session by his username only. JasnySSO (talk) 07:33, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

As far as I know Extension:Auth remoteuser should work quite well wit MediaWiki 1.33. Please make sure you don't just update MediaWiki core but also the Auth_remoteuser extension. Looking at what "jasny/sso" does, I believe you should be able to use the $wgAuthRemoteuserUserName variable with a callback function. Osnard (talk) 08:42, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes AuthRemoteuser has been updated, but it logged in users with submitting a fake login form, with the old specialpage "SpecialUserLogin". This class entirely changed in Mediawiki 1.33 so it can't works anymore doing this.. JasnySSO (talk) 13:20, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

"Extension:Auth_remoteuser" makes use of the new SessionProvider infrastructure that was introduced together with AuthManager in MediaWiki 1.27. The $wgAuthRemoteuserUserName configuration variable allows to specify a callback fucntion. In conjunction with jasny/sso it should work like this (PSEUDO CODE, UNTESTED):

$wgAuthRemoteuserUserName = function() {
    ...
    $broker = new Jasny\SSO\Broker($serverUrl, $brokerId, $brokerSecret);
    $broker->attach();
    $user = $broker->getUserInfo();
    return $user->username; //or  $user['username'], or whatever `getUserInfo` returns
};

EDIT: You might need to cache the results, as this function gets called in every request. Osnard (talk) 16:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

it works, thank you ! JasnySSO (talk) 09:43, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

• start upgrade process on new machine (via webclient)

Database was converted to newest version and mediaWiki is running fine at all, but some pages are missing, meaning they are marked red, linking to non existing content.

Diving a bit deeper into the problem, I was able to see, only pages containing ÖÄÜ as title are effected by this.

Is there an idea what I could try to get this entries running on the new setup too? I haven't seen any option for editing converting settings during the upgrade process. Janis he (talk) 12:42, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

there was likely a charset error during the dump db and import db on a new server step. Its likely they have been converted to a different charset in the page table of the database. Bawolff (talk) 15:36, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

socialprofile: change displayed information

I'd like to change the displayed information in the socialprofile extension.

Do I have to make changes in UserProfilePage.php? or is there another way?

Thanks!

Have you tried that extension's specific pages and talk page? There seems to be a developer manual there as well as a place to post questions specific to that extension which is not developed by MediaWiki.

Extension:SocialProfile

Extension:SocialProfile/Developer information

Extension talk:SocialProfile

And by latest version do you mean MW version 1.34 and which extension version? Without specific information it can be difficult for the people that mind this page to help you, so best to be clear and as specific as possible. I'm not sure if you'll get extension support here, or if it might be best to post on the extension page where the developers of that extension have a chance of seeing and answering your question (or perhaps some answers might be found my searching where people go to post questions about that extension on the extension talk page?)

SocialProfile: hide editing fields

how can I hide editing fields (f.e. video-games, music) not only in the public profile but also in the editing process?

Going through the setup, can't get past the database page. I put the info in there, and it fails with "Cannot access the database: :real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory." The user account I created has full privileges on the database. I changed the auth type from the default (caching_sha2_password) to mysql_native_password and still fails. I know the issue is around changes with mysql 8 but not sure exactly what it is. very frustrating. Seth2740 (talk) 01:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

it sounds like issue with socket vs network connection maybe. Try using 127.0.0.1 as db server instead of localhost or vice versa. Bawolff (talk) 02:06, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

ok that did it...i actually tried that before but didn't work then rebuilt the system. maybe was a combination of that and the auth method. at least it allowed me to move on Seth2740 (talk) 02:32, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

centos 7 (3.10.0-1127.10.1.el7.x86_64) and mediawiki 1.26.3 and texlive.

Hi All,

I am a newbie who inherited a wiki server and have an issue I do not know how best to deal with. I would rather not break anyting if I don have to!

I am trying to get rid of a vulnerability CVE-2018-17407 that has been linked to texlive. I have checked my machine an I have both the older and newer versions of texlive and need to remove just the older version.

I wonder if removing the older version will affect my wiki pages and what the recommended method for removing it would be? kernel and wiki version are in the title.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks Jbloch222 (talk) 13:54, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Jbloch222! How is Texlive related to MediaWiki? (Furthermore, you seem to run an ancient unsupported MediaWiki version which has not received upstream updates for nearly three years and has many unresolved security issues. Please upgrade for your own safety. If you want to stick to distribution packages provided by CentOS, then this would be a question for a CentOS forum.) Malyacko (talk) 14:07, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Malyacko

I was not sure if Texlive was important for the MediaWiki, just got these machines and plan to upgrade asap. When I looked into the texlive it had packages like texlive_thumbpdf that made me think MediaWiki might need it and particularly the older version.

Just could not understand why updates would leave the older version of texlive in place unless it was a dependency.

Thanks for the quick reply!!

How to copy paste an RTF table into a MediaWiki table?

I have a MediaWiki 1.34.0 install with no extensions.

I have an RTL file with a (most probably XML) table inside it.

I want to copy paste that table into a MediaWiki article without formatting with MediaWiki syntax from scratch.

How to copy paste an RTF table into a MediaWiki table? 49.230.1.116 (talk) 02:10, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Have you tried something like this?

https://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables

(You can usually add the number of requisite columns in the table at the top, then click into a cell to paste, then click "Generate."

You could also try creating your table in a site that has Visual Editor enabled, then view the page in source mode to copy and paste it into your wiki if you don't have access to a VE enabled site. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 02:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

How to automate integration of MediaWiki wegpages into Rich Text documents and/or email templates?

I have MediaWiki 1.34.0 with a webpage containing a few headlines and a few tables which I seldom edit in that MediaWiki webpage.

I can manually copy-paste the webpage into each new RTF document anew but I prefer to automate this process somehow so to to "call" (the essential part of) this webpage into RTF documents and then emailing the document (as is, or edited) to customers.

If possible I would prefer to further automate and call (the essential part of) this webpage directly into an email compositions (as an email template) instead attaching a file containing it.

See also: Help_talk:Redirects#Hiding_redirects_in_search_results... Jonathan3 (talk) 21:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

If you hid abc from your results, wouldn’t the redirect page be pointless? I thought the whole point of a redirect page is to create an alternate search term for an article that can redirect to the main article... If you don’t want that to happen, why not just delete the redirect page?

what use case is there for what you are asking? Why does abc need to be there at all? TiltedCerebellum (talk) 09:05, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

It might be that people have links/bookmarks to the old page which he/she doesn't want to break. That's the main reason I leave redirects when I rename a page. (I don't mind that they show up in suggestions but it would be good if they didn't show up in search results.) Jonathan3 (talk) 11:13, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

We generally use DPL3 to make a list of the pages that link to that page to hunt them down and fix them but it's a pain. Once no pages are linking to it, the page can be deleted. The search results links also redirect, so not such a huge deal. This thread suggested a possible solution:

The volume of the _text table increases abnormally

If i export all page from special page, all my content = 10 Mo

If i look in the database, the table _text = 280 Mo !

It would be absolutely necessary to propose a solution, to clean the table _text properly, and, to allow to keep only the last global version of the page.

My post : https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239104

My answer : Manual talk:Text table

In my case, indeed, only the latest version from a page interests me.

So I'm in a special case, since, a wiki must be used to keep the history.

Despite everything, this methodology is very heavy, for the database, and, the system resources.

In my case, I wish to be able to use the latest version, since it is a personal summary for the pages I write.

The versioning is practical, during the writing, but, I wish to be able to launch every day, a script which cleans the base, to only offer an optimized version, and, I then delete the revisions.

Currently, I do so:

maintenance/deleteOldRevisions.php --delete

maintenance/rebuildrecentchanges.php

maintenance/deleteArchivedRevisions.php --delete

maintenance/deleteAutoPatrolLogs.php

maintenance/rebuildall.php Zer00CooL (talk) 17:52, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

you may also want $wgCompressRevisions.

See docs for cron for your operating system. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html

Probably rebuildall and rebuildrecentchanges arent needed since rebuildrecentchanges is a subset of rebuildall, and more generally i am unsure if its needed at all.

Depending on your db, you may want to optimize the underlying table. Bawolff (talk) 00:52, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes i have, for example :

ALTER TABLE prefixe_text ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;

ALTER TABLE prefixe_externallinks ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;

ALTER TABLE prefixe_searchindex ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;

The table is correctly compressed, but, when i download the sql, i have always 500Mo.

It's not the good way, for me. I search a better solution.

Debian Buster Stable.

My DB is MariaDB, innodb, utf8-mb4

Mediawiki 1.33.3

Conf for mariadb :

[mariadb-10.3]

innodb_file_format = Barracuda

innodb_file_per_table = 1

innodb_default_row_format = dynamic

innodb_large_prefix = 1 Zer00CooL (talk) 12:39, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

well that is different then $wgCompressRevisions.

By OPTIMIZE i meant the OPTIMIZE command. Bawolff (talk) 15:25, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

No,

OPTIMIZE is a MySQL command for OPTIMIZE.

I don't want OPTIMIZE, i want clear all old content.

If all my page = 10 Mo from special page export it's not normal all my page = 400 Mo in the table _text

In my case, i want only the last revision, and, clear all old history, and, content. Zer00CooL (talk) 17:19, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I read the same requests, with people having databases of 2 ... 8 ... Go

It's a lot, for me, and, I think that everyone does not necessarily need to keep the history. At a given moment, it is necessary to clean the base, to allow its export, its backup, its redeployment.

In my opinion, it is urgent to bring a possibility to the cleaning of the table _text.

Otherwise, it forces you to export the pages to XML, and reinstall them on a new wiki. It's tedious. Zer00CooL (talk) 17:22, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

in certain configs mysql wont actually delete things (release space back to the hard drive) until you run optimize, which is why i suggested it. Bawolff (talk) 20:57, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

After Mediawiki update i'm getting and error on Social Profile when I try to send messages to users, and the message isn't sent:  2020/05/15 14:29:20 [error] 8287#8287: *120536933 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Notice: Undefined variable: user_name in /home/tibiawiki/extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/includes/UserProfilePage.php on line 198" while reading response header from upstream, client: 172.69.3.157, server: www.tibiawiki.com.br, request: "GET /wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio:Tillzin HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock:", host: "tibiawiki.com.br"

This error usually occurs when there is a mismatch between the MediaWiki version and the extension version. Looks like your versions are correct. Have you run the update script too? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:58, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Just Run like in the update script link, with de "force" parameter but still get the same error message in various users:

Its an issue with php error reporting in the wrong time in fastcgi protocol (well sort of, its also a real warning). Try setting php to only log errors to a file and not display them Bawolff (talk) 19:16, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Changing were the log error will be displayed didn't changed my problem. Still can't sent any messages to any user. Liokdama (talk) 20:46, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Did you get a new error message, or are you still receiving the old error? AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

The error number a think it's changed from 8287#8287 to 8291#8291 but the message is the same.

old: "[error] 8287#8287: *120536933 FastCGI sent in stderr: "

new: "[error] 8291#8291: *335384267 FastCGI sent in stderr: " Liokdama (talk) 20:50, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I have the same error in my site! :(

Problem with upload file in multiple template

Hi, I'm trying to write a form with PageForm for upload several images. I make the template and i call that template with "multiple" feature. But, when i try to upload an image he didn't take it and say "C:\fakepath\". I think this is a common problem that is caused by some security features of the browsers. Is there any solutions/tip? Cible30 (talk) 14:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

it is impossible to help without a link (so we can see your templates and see how you are setting it up, or at least the code samples) and knowing more specifics. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 08:37, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Template Issues

Hello,

I've got some button and button2 templates loaded. When I edit pages using the code and preview them the buttons show up properly. However, when I view the published page the buttons show as only text. What might be the cause of this? 192.81.87.233 (talk) 20:14, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Could be some extension or problematic JavaScript code that might be interfering. Open browser developer tools (by pressing F12) and look at the Console tab to see if any errors are logged there. Also, try disabling all extensions and see if the issue persists. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:43, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

It does not appear to be a browser issue. The developer console doesn't show any errors, and using a different browser/different computer yields the same results. 192.81.87.233 (talk) 13:04, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

He did not say it was a browser issue, he said it may be an issue with an extension or js you added to common js, an add on js file, or even a gadget/widget file. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 08:28, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Could it be something to do with whatever skin you're using? Maybe try it with Vector?

Or something in your Common.js or Common.css?

Could you cut and paste the templates here? Jonathan3 (talk) 18:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Choosejoy (talk) 05:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

what is $wgMainCacheType set to? Generally i would reccomend installing php-apcu and then setting $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL; as a first step.

Beyond that, you should consider using profiling to determine which part is slow. Bawolff (talk) 15:09, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Making links between text on same page?

Using Visual Editor, how do I make a link between a topic in a TOC and the text on that topic on the same Wikipedia page? I have successfully made links to other Wikipedia pages and to external websites but, on this presumably simpler matter of links between text on the same page, I have spent hours looking for guidance but found nothing. Any help much appreciated.

Database errors on page deletes from extensions that edit the database

Hello,

I've been updating and editing a mediawiki installation on my local network.

The vast majority of the maintenance, updating, and editing has gone very well. The exception to this is the fact that as I have been going along, cleaning test pages and attempting to use extensions such as Extension:Nuke I get a database error as follows;

The bellow error and stacktrace are the output from "title=Special:Nuke&action=delete"

[1310c5d63ad55b3dc32d7fab] /index.php?title=Special:Nuke&action=delete Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBTransactionError from line 1438 of /var/www/mediawiki/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: Explicit transaction still active.

after a second test of the extension Extension:DeletePagesForGood i've found success in deleting singular pages, but would like to have the functionality available to delete swaths of pages that are unwanted in some fashion.

If anyone could please shed any light onto the possible causes of the above error, that would be absolutely amazing.

I can create pages, delete pages in the standard way, and use the extension "Delete Pages For Good", but for some reason nuke fails.

I have checked extension versions, permissions on the database file, permissions of the database user, restarted the mysql server process, and possibly some things I cant quite remember at this point.

Thank you very much for any assistance.

EDIT

As I was going through and manually deleting some pages to see what would happen, I have discovered that there are two pages that I can not delete using Delete Pages for good.

at a guess, i think the version of the extension you have is not supported by your version of mediawiki (and possibly the author has not updated it so no version will work) Bawolff (talk) 04:48, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

What is the DevOps practice for websites on virtual machine server

I am running a non-profit MediaWiki website 1.34 that involves both database updates and code changes. How can I test that the website is running properly before I release it?

A few questions that I have:

1. Current DevOps guides focus on code maintainence, but given that I sometimes need to update the MySQL database when I change the code (e.g. installing an extension), how can I synchronize the database change between my local machine and the VM?

2. How can I synchronize system changes (e.g. Apache2 server settings)

3. LocalSettings.php contains sensitive information and should not be shared on repositories, but I often need to change the setting during development. What is the best practice to keep it only on VM? Use a secret.php file and load it with LocalSetting.php?

Timingliu (talk) 07:35, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

for 1) typically people have separate testing databases if they want a separate staging system.

2) generally you do a change on your testing environment, and then later on your real environment. If it was synced automatically there wouldnt be a point of having a separate staging env. This can be made easier by using a configuration system like puppet where you can write your config as code, and check it into git, etc

for 3) yes, loading a SecretSettings.php via the require directive is the most common method. There are other methods for provisioning secrets but they are usually tied to some deployment system. Bawolff (talk) 08:34, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Upload file - Action failed

Hi

I'm trying to use the Upload file tool to upload a small png file. The tool will let me select the file, it gives me a nice preview, I don't enter any other information at this stage, I just proceed to upload.

The result is this -

"Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/5/57/Mc3300green.png". Make sure your upload directory is configured correctly and your web server has permission to write to that directory. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgUploadDirectory for more information."

We have MediaWiki 1.34.1 running on a new CentOS 8.1.1911 vm and configuration is mostly default.

The /images directory has the permission apache:apache 0755, and

localsetting.php has $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgUploadDirectory = "${IP}/images"; $wgUploadPath = "${IP}/images";

I don't know where to start with this issue

How to get current user's timezone on a wiki page?

Is there a way to get the current user's timezone in a wiki page? I am using a embedded Google calendar and I would like to pass it the user's timezone to allow it to display event start and end time in relation to their timezone. 166.70.65.30 (talk) 19:10, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Default mediawiki doesn't support this, because for efficiency reasons we want to show the same page to multiple users, and different users might have different timezones.

Its possible there exists an extension to do this (Unforunately extension:UserFunctions does not include this). It is definitely possible to make one, but requires programming knowledge Bawolff (talk) 05:48, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

External links

Two domains same mediawiki

Hi, I have two domains that will be pointing to the same server where mediawiki and the database live. It works well with simple conditions in the LocalSettings file to tell it what the server name should be however I have one problem. If I log in on domain1.com it still shows me as logged out in domain2.com

Is there was way to share sessions across the domains so that if I login on domain1 then I'll also be logged in on domain2. They're both using the exact same source code and database, just sessions are not being shared.

Appreciate any advice 149.248.81.66 (talk) 05:24, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Its possible, but kind of difficult with two top level domains, since cookies can't be easily shared. Extension:CentralAuth may be able to do it (possibly in a non-default config, since its made for farms of separate wikis. But i don't know what that config could be). Otherwise i think you would be stuck extending mediawiki yourself (AuthManager) which requires programming knowledge. Bawolff (talk) 05:42, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

After update from 1.32.1 to 1.34.1 most images are not shown

Hello,

if tried to update to the new mediawiki Version. No mater which way I try, most of the images are not shown on the internal wiki page. I've tried to copy the new wiki to the root folder an run the setup, I've tried a coplet reinstall of the xampp environment and the mediawiki.

It is possible to upload a new picture, but it is not possible to upload the same picture with the same descption.

Does anybody have an ideo over this error? It's the first time after an updat that i ran into this problems.

Thanks 195.225.33.11 (talk) 08:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I've tried it this also, but it's not working 195.225.33.11 (talk) 10:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

If I look at the html cood, the path of the picture is automatically to the upload page, instead to the initial picture path

What process did you do to upgrade? It sounds like you are missing entries in the image table maybe. Bawolff (talk) 15:31, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I've downloaded the new mediawiki Version and I've overwritten all the folders expect images and extensions. After that I run the php update.php skript.

I've also tried the mw-config process and after the run again php update.php

I've also tried deleteing the whole folder and create a new one, import the database etc.

Which entries do I have to check?

195.225.33.1 (talk) 05:55, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

If you have a tool to look in the database, basically check that there is an entry in the image table for an image that is missing. Check also that the img_comment_id field is a number that matches some row in the comment table, and that the img_actor field is a number that matches some row in the actor table.

If you don't have such a tool, you can try using the Sql.php maintenance script, and doing SELECT * from image left join actor on img_actor = actor_id left join comment on img_description_id = comment_id; and see if anything seems missing or is full of nulls. Bawolff (talk) 06:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

everything ssems fine if I look directly into the db

If I click on the link, the only possible action is to upload the image

so far I don't seem to be the only one Project:Support desk/Flow/2018/05#h-New_version_of_images_don't_trigger_thumbnail_recreation_(1.30.0)-2018-05-30T14:22:00.000Z 195.225.33.1 (talk) 08:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

The topic linked to is about images being shown but the wrong version, where you seem to be describing the image being totally missing. I dont think they are related.

Just to clarify, if you directly go the file description page (i.e. if you have an image named Example.png, the page named File:Example.png ), does the page just say it doesnt exist? Is the image description there but the image missing? Something else.

Does the page Special:MediaStatistics report the correct number of files? Bawolff (talk) 09:23, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

If i go directly to the path of the picture, the the picture is shown in the browser (eg //servername/wiki/images/imagefolder/subfolder\imagename.png

if i click on the image on the wiki page, it links to the upload manager

yes the MediaStatistics are correct

But if i click on the image on the wiki page, it links to the upload manager 195.225.33.1 (talk) 10:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

i mean the url like mywiki.com/wiki/file:imagename.png Bawolff (talk) 15:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

anyways, what you are describing is consistent with a referential integrity issue in actor or comment table. Did update.php output any warnings?

Running cleanupUsersWithNoId.php followed by manual:migrateActors.php might help things Bawolff (talk) 15:54, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

If I do mywiki.com/wiki/file:imagename.png, I get an error access denied

no there are no warnings during update.php

running cleanupuserswithnoid and migrateactors did not help 195.225.33.1 (talk) 08:10, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

what type of access denied error? What does your apache (or whatever webserver you are using) say about the access denied error? Bawolff (talk) 08:26, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

The following error:

Cacheable articles

Hi. Quick question... is there any way to request cacheable response headers (i.e. max-age > 0, etc.) when fetching (specifically) the printable versions of articles (i.e. ...?printable=yes)? I know this is a long shot question ha. Thanks. Brycehughes (talk) 15:32, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

no, because we want to revalidate the response in case someone has edited it. If nobody has edited you should get a 304 instead of the full response which is much smaller.

The only place you can really ask for maxage headers is during action=raw and in the api.

If you are concerned about performance of this, consider setting up varnish Bawolff (talk) 06:00, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Making links in summary clickable

I have an internal wiki and each edit is related to a ticket and I'd like to include a link to the ticket in the summary for more information. When trying it out it shows the link but it doesn't make it an active link and just shows the text. Is it possible to make links in the summary clickable? If it makes a difference, all of the links are to one specific domain. 144.51.12.18 (talk) 20:16, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

That link is in English language here when not being logged in. If it isn't for you, then maybe you are logged in on that website and have your preferred language for the user interface set to Russian on that website. Malyacko (talk) 03:55, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Content not showing after update

Hi, this seems to be a comon problem but all the answers from the other topics didn't help me. I updated http://thediscworld.de to MediaWiki 1.34.1 and can't see the page content anymore. I updated by removing the original folder, extracting the new version, copying the uploaded images and executing database update. I don't think that the old version had any extensions installed but I'm not a 100% sure. At least I can see no references to extensions in the LocalSettings.

I tried $wgDebugLogFile and $wgShowDebug along with error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_startup_errors', 1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); but I can't see any errors or warnings in the output.

The content does show up when editing the page but umlauts are missing. Also some links on the menus are not displaying text. When I try the api sandbox I get "HTTP error: Forbidden".

Is there anything else I can try? 2003:E8:F22:1F00:298A:2082:5B18:F429 (talk) 05:38, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

This issue sounds like https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247222

The problem is likely the umlauts are encoded in iso 8859-1 instead of as utf-8 and mediawiki cant handle it well.

Does making a dummy edit to a page fix it?

The 403 error in the api sandbox is probably a separate issue. i dont know what the missing text in menu links is about.

Additionally, try setting the error display directives in php.ini, sometimes that works better. Check also your php and apache error logs. Bawolff (talk) 05:49, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

also i see you enabled debug toolbar, note the error:

parser] preg_match_all returned false
[parser] preg_replace returned null
[parser] preg_match_all returned false
[parser] preg_replace returned null

Bawolff (talk) 05:51, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

i think missing link text is probably due to same unicode issue in https://www.thediscworld.de/index.php/MediaWiki:Books Bawolff (talk) 05:53, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Editing the Books page and replacing the Umlaut fixed it. I tried a page with more content (than a single word) and it doesn't show text.

So potentially I could fix the Umlaut problems by manually by editing all pages.

The preg_replace and preg_match_all messages might be responsible for pages that require replacements (which would be all of them if they contain at least a link) not showing up. Now I wonder if the MediaWiki version doesn't call the regex methods in a way that is compatible with php 7.4 or if the escape characters of the calls are cached somewhere in my database. 2003:E8:F22:1F00:298A:2082:5B18:F429 (talk) 06:05, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

> Now I wonder if the MediaWiki version doesn't call the regex methods in a way that is compatible with php 7.4 or if the escape characters of the calls are cached somewhere in my database

The issue is that mediawiki uses the unicode version of regex (previously it used ascii), which explodes if it encounters text which isn't valid unicode (e.g. if it is w:windows-1252 instead). Mediawiki has code which is supposed to convert all input to valid unicode so it should never be an issue, but i guess it is... Bawolff (talk) 06:32, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

I can slowly restore the pages by saving them again but I can't edit pages with Umlauts in their titles. They show up as not existing. Can I fix this in the database? I tried the page table but that didn't help. Is that table still in use? The title column is still "latin 1" encoded. 2003:E8:F22:1F00:F43A:480F:2C02:914B (talk) 06:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

You could try a full export of the database (e.g. using mysqldump), convert it using a program like iconv, and then reimport.

latin1 is another name for windows-1252. Often db table encodings are ignored, and even if its labeled as latin1 it might not be latin1. That said, MediaWiki probably works best if all tables are listed as encoded in "binary" encoding. Bawolff (talk) 06:58, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

New MediaWiki - All domain traffic is redirected to wiki; subdomain setup possible too?

Hi guys, first time posting cause it's my first time setting up mediawiki on my server. I'm using nginx and I installed mediawiki under /var/www/html/w/. I setup short urls and it's working but it's routing all my traffic that goes to edhel.online to edhel.online/wiki/Main_Page.

The first thing I would like to do is have my main website, preferably I'll setup a wordpress at edhel.online and have the mediawiki at edhel.online/w/ or at wiki.edhel.online. Is there a way to do this while maintaining short urls or does the wiki need to be my landing page?

I originally had it installed in a mediawiki/ folder instead of w/ but I couldn't get wiki.edhel.online to work.

If your $wgArticlePath setting in LocalSettings.php was incorrect (i.e., had /wiki/ in it) then it would explain the incorrect routing.

You should consider putting the wiki under a subdomain if you want a wordpress site under the primary domain. Running them off the same domain is not a good idea, putting mediawiki into a subdomain is a better idea.

Did you confirm your subdomain was working and displaying pages before attempting to install mediawiki under it? If not I'd do a web search on how to config a subdomain in nginx, get the subdomain working and first confirm that it's working by creating and uploading a generic index.html or index.php with something in it like "it works", and then try to view it in your browser. If you know your subdomain is first working, then you're good to go on installing mediawiki under it. But if you don't know if it's working, you don't know where the issue is.

Then after you know your subdomain is working try installing MediaWiki in the subdomain folder via the steps at Manual:Installing MediaWiki. If you don't want it nested in a /wiki/ or /w/ folder then don't leave it nested in a /wiki/ or /w/ folder. You don't have to have /wiki/ or /w/ in the file path at all. To remove it, you could via ftp upload the contents of the MW directory into your subdomain web folder. Then your path would be like: sub.yoursite.com/Main_Page instead of sub.yoursite.com/w/Main_Page. If you were extracting from command line, you could have used the --strip-componets command to strip the extra folder off and just extract the contents to the web folder of your subdomain.

tar xvzf mediawiki-1.34.2.tar.gz --strip-components 1

Then you'd have to make sure that your $wgArticlePath is correctly set. Like one of the following:

# If mediawiki files are NOT nested into a folder in your web directory:
$wgArticlePath = "/$1";
# If mediawiki files are nested into a /w/ folder in your web directory:
$wgArticlePath = "/w/$1";
# If mediawiki files are nested into a /wiki/ folder in your web directory:
$wgArticlePath = '/wiki/$1';

Though the documentation states you can't use /wiki/ with short URLs. I personally don't like nesting MW into a subfolder at all and I like having MW in its own subdomain so there can be no errors with working with files and directories on the main site and accidentally copying over a necessary MW file or folder.

Moving/Renaming a single article from the command line

Is it possible to move/rename an article from the command line? I've found Manual:moveBatch.php but that seems more designed for moving many articles, and I'd only like to move one. Is there a more appropriate script for me to use or a way to use to muse moveBatch without having to create the listfile first? Meat curtain (talk) 20:26, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

See API:Move. Why would you use the command line to move a single file, instead of doing that in the UI? What's the underlying use case? Malyacko (talk) 21:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

A script would automatically rename a page if certain conditions are met. The script could create a listfile first, run the moveBatch.php script, and then remove the listfile, but I would like to use the right tool for the job if there is a more appropriate way to do it.

[Resolved] Encountering LocalisationCache.php errors when running update.php

Every time I try to upgrade it following the usual routine (running update.php under the /maintenance subdirectory), the version remains as 1.27.1 as tabulated above. During these resultless attempts, I get a volley of LocalisationCache.php errors as instantiated below:

Notice: compact(): Undefined variable: pluralRuleTypes in /home/domain/public_html/                   includes/cache/localisation/LocalisationCache.php on line 533

I'm not too conversant with PHP, but I can't find anything else to ascribe for these changeless updates (where the script presumably aborts its attempt).

From all I've pieced together, it might be attributable to an incompatible PHP version, but I would like to hear feedback from more experienced MediaWikipedians before I decide to update that; because I'm on a shared-hosting plan, I'd need to contact the host to do so.

Please let me know if you require any further information or resolutionary feedback. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: As suspected, it was due to an incompatibly outdated PHP version. I upgraded it via the ACP, did away with defunct extensions, and I successfully updated it.

that's a slightly different version of the same issue. Can you check if the Liuggio files exist in vendor?

To be clear, im not explicitly reccomending git, i just mentioned it because there are extra steps you need to do if using. Bawolff (talk) 19:45, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

I looked in the vendor folder and in the Liuggio folder all I see is a folder called statsd-php-client and these files in it:

Display Categories

Hi there.

Is there a way I can get the current article's category and display it elsewhere on the page? Maybe in a side-bar? Gavini74 (talk) 10:38, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

You can do this using Extension:DynamicPageList3 or Extension:Cargo.

In Cargo you could use the table _pageData and field _categories or _categories__full.

In DPL3 you could use the variable %CATLIST%. Jonathan3 (talk) 15:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

the best way would probably be to make your own skin. For example, Skin:Timeless Bawolff (talk) 15:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Creating a skin seems a daunting prospect!

Didn't someone ask something similar recently and an answer was to shift the existing Categories box from the bottom of the page using jQuery? Edit: found it. Jonathan3 (talk) 14:56, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

yeah, there are many approaches. JS can move the page around. Possibly you could also do something with Manual:Hooks/SkinBuildSidebar Bawolff (talk) 16:24, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Maintenance failed successfully (Wiki not responding)

I had a hardware maintenance of my server, which required a day long off time. The Database was put in read-only mode and a backup was created, then the whole thing was shutdown.

After three days I started the server and the first sign of life was a error page stating, that the Database is locked. $wgReadOnly was commented out, Database was back. But not the Wiki. I don't even get a blank page. It's just loading and nothing happens.

Long story short: Apache and my server were restarted countless times and there are no error messages from MySQL (database check is ok, but what should happened if it was read-only?). I tried the php error command in LocalSettings but again: The Wiki is not responding. 79.207.24.123 (talk) 12:14, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

I have to correct myself. In the last twenty minutes where some "aborted connection to dabase" errors in the Database. But I don't understand why. User and Password weren't touched. 79.207.24.123 (talk) 12:24, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

An hour later: Finally an error message to specify the problem:

something is wrong with your database. Can you check the output of the mysqld process for errors/any logs of mysqld? Also try connecting via commandlune mysql client and see if you can make some simple queries. Bawolff (talk) 15:40, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, but it seems, that Apache (or PHP) needed their time to catch up with the database. After six hours of continuous loading some pages appeared, now the Wiki is back up and running fine.

I know, that's a disappointing solution, but I'm happy I haven't had to rebuild my database or my webserver installation. 79.207.24.123 (talk) 16:28, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Help for Collection extension

How to add game maps or non-earth maps in maplike viewer

Hi,

I've been reasearching how to add non earth/game maps to mediawiki and I am not having a lot of luck. I've tried Extension:Maps which is ok but less that ideal as you cannot add links to the markers easily on the wiki. I've also looked at Extension:Kartographer but I cannot find out how to add a custom image. I looked at Extension:MultiMaps but that just seems to use different mapping services.

Maps extension also does not expose all the leaflet options that are possible in the underlying JS library

I was hoping for the following features to be available to my wiki users

a) Upload a Image file to use as a map

b) Simply add the map into an "map" type view with the zooms and scrolls etc

c) For users to be able to easily add markers, regions area.

d) For these markers to possible have links to other wiki pages

e) To be able to have semantic properties used to display locations on a may

f) Maybe have something like the GeoJson namespace/editor that comes with Maps

g) Totally nice to have - but it would be cool to split the maps up into tiles and let the zoom work. I have full server access so running a simple mini tile server is an option for me.

Personally I want this for a wiki for my roleplaying game, so I have maps at various levels of zoom and would like to provide them to the players and let them anotate them, add links etc to things they players have discovered.

These features also sound useful for an office plan, campaus map, stylized non-geo tourist maps, mall maps etc. So I am surprised I cannot find them. I did find something similar here https://runescape.wiki/w/RuneScape:Map but this seems a bit more complicated than I needed

If none of this is currently possible, what would be a good extension to start submitting patchsets for to add this functionality?

TIA

How to deal with Synonyms

Hello there,

We have a problem for synonyms/related words on our Wiki and looking for suggestions to fix it.

Let's say we have a page called कुंदकुंद. Now there are other similar words which should be directed to this page like 'कुन्दकुन्द' 'कुंदकुंदाचार्य' 'Kundkund'.

One solution is to create multiple pages with redirecting to the original word page. But we do not want to create multiple pages of similar spellings and make redirect because we have thousands of pages and this solution doesn't look clean.

So what would be the solution so that when searching within the wiki it shows the possible options when searching and when a user opens such page, it takes to the appropriate main page.

We're struggling our heads to figure this out but then I thought this is a very common problem which people encounter on CMS website all the time. So there must be some standard solution to it. Please suggest the solutions to this problem.

One requirement is also that When user searches in search box, the drop-down should also list the other options (synonyms) as user types those words.

thanks

Vikas Vikasnd (talk) 08:49, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

what's the concern with redirects? How do they not look clean? Bawolff (talk) 16:28, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

it creates as many entries as the pages in the wiki. And these pages are just blank. We then want to have each words phonetic English word as well for a page so it's easy for user to type on phonetic english equivalent rather than type in native language.

Vikasnd (talk) 17:11, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

what's the problem with a page you never see being blank? Bawolff (talk) 03:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

It's like creating fake pages that are used to map to a real page.

A page/article is supposed to have real, meaningful data, right! For some pages you may have redirects. But if you really want to do mapping of many pages, better way would be to map it outside of the page contents like a table or some file which maps all possible words to a single page/article. Creating redirects page isn't a software solution. It's kind of hack. Vikasnd (talk) 09:59, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Maybe you could use Extension:Cargo and have a Synonyms field containing a list of strings. I guess your normal MediaWiki searches would find the synonyms as page text rather than page title. A Cargo query/search could find the synonyms.

But this sort of thing is one of the main reasons for having redirect pages. Jonathan3 (talk) 21:34, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

is $IP set correctly? (Is the pathvits trying to open literally starting in the root directory?) Bawolff (talk) 16:26, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

$IP is not defined at all (but according to Manual:$IP it doesn't look like I should enable it).

I'm not sure if it's trying to use the root directory or not. The paths are set up on LocalSettings.php but it seems like the installer isn't honouring them for some reason. 109.156.56.166 (talk) 10:50, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

$IP is not something you set but is set automatically. If its value is wrong (or false) it could explain your issue. Bawolff (talk) 08:54, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Hmm okay, where would I find this option? It doesn't seem to be in LocalSettings.php. 109.156.57.250 (talk) 11:52, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

So how can I check what $IP is set to? If it's set wrong, how could I change it? I find the documentation for this very confusing. 109.156.57.250 (talk) 13:57, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

can i hook "page preview" to script-generated content?

i think the title pretty much explains the question, but let me elaborate a bit: the content i'm talking about is contained in a dialog - either some OOJS form, or jQuery.ui dialog.

this newly minted content contains links which look identical to links which show "page preview", when they are on the page.

is there a way to convince page preview to hook itself to these newly minted links?

peace קיפודנחש (talk) 04:09, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

With respect, what you are asking for is not clear at all. The tile doesn't explain it. Please explain (and if possible provide examples) to what you are trying to accomplish and where. This sounds like a customization rather than an issue with the MediaWiki software, you might try:

Professional development and consulting TiltedCerebellum (talk) 00:49, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

user:TiltedCerebellum

so, media wiki acquired a "page preview" behavior, where hovering above internal link shows a small snippet, sometimes with an image, in a small popup window. used to be "beta", now it's in core. i don't think it's an extension, but maybe it is (too many similar extension names, most contain the word "popup" one way or another)

there are scripts and gadgets which either add internal links, either to the page itself, or in some dialog boxes/forms they create.

what i want to do is to tell the "page preview" handler something like "here is a new piece of content, please do your magic on it"., so these newly minted internal links will acquire the behavior of showing the "page preview" on hover.

i tried to fire the 'wikipage.content' event, with the new content as parameter, but "page preview" gallantly ignored this, and refused to do anything regarding the new content.

i hope this is clear enough, but i'll be happy to elaborate if something is still unclear.

Database connection closing during importDump.php

Hello, I am consistently but sporadically having this problem on an instance of mediawiki I am hosting offline. Because it's an offline system I can't provide an in depth stack trace but I'll try my best.

I am trying to mirror Wikipedia with mediawiki-v1.34.1 in a few different languages such as English and Arabic and while running the importDump.php maintenance script on my XML dumps it randomly gets interrupted with the error:

Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBUnexpectedError from line 956 of /var/www/html/mediawiki-1.34.1/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: DB connection was already closed

It takes quite a while to go through the Wikipedia dumps as they're pretty huge, so this problem is making it very slow and hard to get through them as I can't leave the script running for longer than 30 minutes before this error occurs and stops it.

This is the line I am using to run it:

sudo php importDump.php --conf ../LocalSettings.php /var/www/html/arwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 --dbuser root --debug --username-prefix=""

I couldn't find this problem anywhere online, does anyone know how to help with it?
