1.the header frame says:  Introduced in version:1.16.0 (r55802)
2.the reference link at bottom says introduced in  1.16.9  => which is right ??
3.reference link points an old SVN link => https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/tags/REL1_16_0/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES?view=markup#l163

Can someone correct please ? Thanks.

Hi all, my problem today is that on translated FR subpage => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SELinux/fr#Pygments_for_SyntaxHighlight we have an access to {{TALKPAGENAME}}. Although it is meaningful in the root page (topic is on its own talk page) it becomes meaningless on the translated page where it accesses direcly the talk page of the translated subpage => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:SELinux/fr and of course the topic is not found since this talk page is today empty. So my question is: how to force the access to the talk page of the root article (dynamically if possible and avoiding a hardcoded link)) when called from a translated subpage ? something like {{TALKPAGENAME|BASEPAGENAME}} but unhappily this is not a template. Thanks.

Christian Wia (talk) 14:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Done with {{TALKPAGENAME:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}

BASEPAGENAME gets the page without the subpage, and then use it as parameter to TALKPAGENAME to tell it to get it's talk page instead of the current talk page. In magic words, the first parameter is separated with a colon from the magic word itself, and not with a pipe. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:18, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

After lots of work on our wiki, i want to add it to the list in "H" at "Sites using MediaWiki/fr"

Its locked but our wiki is fully hosted on our openstack infrastructure (not mutalised) and we participate in debug of some modules

From my point of view my wiki a great example of what can be done with mediawiki !

So please can you add this line in H ?

On page => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit
when numbering of sections is activated in the user's Preferences, current TOC shows:

1 API documentation
2 Example
   2.1 POST request
   2.2 Response
   2.3 Sample code
       2.7.1 Edit conflicts
       2.7.2 Large edits
       2.7.3 CAPTCHAs
3 Possible errors...

Where you can observe abnormal numbering/indentation 2.3 => 2.7.1
Going to => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#Sample_code you see that numbering invades the tabs of the example as follows :

2.3 Sample code
2.4 Python  2.5 PHP  2.6 Javascript  2.7 MediaWiki JS
#!/usr/bin/python3....
2.7.1 Edit conflicts

The corresponding wikitext is : <!-- Transclude Sample code --> {{:{{translatable}}/Sample code 1}} For coherence we must select an option: [1]either TABs are taken into account and become sub items of 2.3 as 2.3.1 2.3.2 ... and appear in TOC [2]either they are not numbered at all and do not appear in the TOC but indentation and numbering should always be coherent.

Can someone investigate ? Thanks.

Christian FR (talk) 22:01, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

This is caused by the tabbedWindow Gadget. See Project:Village Pump/Flow/2019/08#h-Enabling_tabbedWindow_Gadget_on_Mediawiki.org_as_default_for_on-wiki_documentati-2019-08-04T13:48:00.000Z

A solution would be to move those sections outside of the examples section, either converting them to level-2 headings or creating a new level-2 heading for them Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:23, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes the inclusion is starting with === and disturb numbering of following ==== items. The new structure is the following one (may be 'user cases' is not accurate) :

1 API documentation

2 Example

2.1 POST request

2.2 Response

3 Sample code

4 User cases

4.1 Edit conflicts

4.2 Large edits

4.3 CAPTCHAs

hi all

On page => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Imageinfo#Possible_errors I noticed following points:

1. The two following wordings have no error code specified :

| ? || Invalid value for iiurlparam (name=value).
| ? || Could not normalize image parameters for $1.
How do we research these error codes to make the assignment with the given text ?

2.reference to deleted page; what to understand ?

iibadfilecontexttitle uses reference to page 'MediaWiki:Bad image list' in text :

   Adds whether the file is on the MediaWiki:Bad image list 

but page MediaWiki:Bad image list is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Bad_image_list and has been deleted :

13:41, 7 January 2007 MediaWiki default talk contribs deleted page MediaWiki:Bad image list (No longer required)

3. API:Fileinfo at bottom is a red link

Christian FR (talk) 12:52, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Since MediaWiki:Bad_image_list was deleted, the default value is used instead.

Default value (defined on translatewiki.net, can be retrieved by using {{int|Bad image list}}):

:The format is as follows:

Only list items (lines starting with *) are considered.
The first link on a line must be a link to a bad file.
Any subsequent links on the same line are considered to be exceptions, i.e. pages where the file may occur inline.

ok thanks; remains point 3) unanswered. Christian 🇫🇷 FR 🚨 (talk) 14:02, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

See Special:Diff/3017650. The previous revision says:

This will eventually get superseded by prop=fileinfo. Shirayuki (talk) 14:18, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

To keep coherence of the documentation, it is not good to implement entries for what will eventually be done. So choosing a halfway solution, I keep this entry to remove the red link and point to a draft page telling about the substitution. This page is to be filled at approrpiate time. Christian 🇫🇷 FR 🚨 (talk) 14:39, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

There is an outdated link on Uninstalling that points to a redirection. The end destination is this link on the CMAKE FAQ. It could also be wikified instead of displayed as a full URL. Can't edit it because it deals with external links. Thank you! Feen (talk) 03:00, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
