How to write login function

version 1.26

I have my own oauth2 server, so I want to write a plugin myself, everything is done except login, this is my code

private function loginProcess(array $user = [])
{   
    $username = $user['user_name'];
    $email = $user['user_email'];
    
    $user = User::newFromName($username, 'creatable');
    $user->setRealName($username);
    $user->setEmail($email);
    $user->load();
    
    if (!($user instanceof User && $user->getId())) {
		$user->addToDatabase();
    }
    
    $user->setToken();
    $user->setCookies();
    $this->getContext()->setUser($user);
    $user->saveSettings();
    
    global $wgUser;
    $wgUser = $user;
    $sessionUser = User::newFromSession($this->getRequest());
    $sessionUser->load();
    
    global $wgServer;
    global $wgOut;
    $wgOut->redirect($wgServer);
}

And I set the reading permission in LocalSetting.php

   $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
   $wgGroupPermissions['user']['read'] = true;

But It logout very fast, my server session lifetime is 24 hours, how to keep it login. Chan15tw (talk) 08:31, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Scribunto: where do I place modules?

Documentation string: Translations:API:Main page/43

Hi, there seems to be an issue in the documentation, relating to string Translations:API:Main page/43/en.

It contains a parameter, $query, used in the form [[$query]] (exactly like this, without any text), but displays as a link with the text: "extensive documentation of its own". This text is not in the translatable string itself, I cannot find it available for translation anywhere. Using [[$query|foreign text]] doesn't solve the issue, since the text in English still appears before the foreign text. Hamilton Abreu (talk) 16:01, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

I've updated it so the link text is translatable. A translation admin needs to approve my edit, though Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 18:27, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia for Blackberry 10

Hi., I am a Blackberry 10 user and its the only Platform I love to hold and would end up using. I was using WIKIPEDIA FOR BLACKBERRY 10 app and it was very useful to me. But I now after a wipe I lost the app and couldn't find in the Blackberry World. Please Support Blackberry Platform or give a link to Download the .bar file. Hoping for a favour. Thank you. 49.207.191.223 (talk) 18:39, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

This app obviously used to be here: https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/47596888

However, the website now says the page would no longer be found. According to this thread the developers stopped supporting Blackberry.

If you still have an old backup you obviously can restore the app from there. Or you ask one of the forum members - some of them obviously can provide you the bar file. 87.123.27.18 (talk) 19:59, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Announcement Bar

Hi all... I'm looking for an extension that gives the ability to show an announcement bar/scrolling news feed, that administrators could customize. Of course, it could be dismissable.

This would act the same way that MediaWiki has announcements for summits, etc.

Thank you for your help. PaleoIsh (talk) 20:44, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Two options: See Manual:Interface/Sitenotice or Extension:DismissableSiteNotice! 87.123.59.205 (talk) 20:50, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you... I had a hard time finding these. Would you suggest https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CentralNotice? PaleoIsh (talk) 21:06, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

I have never used the CentralNotice extension myself, but it is used by Wikimedia Foundation.That means that it likely is pretty stable. It is made to distribute notices to multiple wikis. So if you "only" have one wiki, then maybe this extension is overkill - except it has any other options, which you want to use. 87.123.59.205 (talk) 21:29, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Can I add a link to individual CSS files?

I want to use individual CSS files for some pages. How do I link to them so that they're only used in those specific files? I.e. how do I add a <link rel="stylesheet"... tag? Or, is it possible to have a stylesheet only trigger on pages in a specific category? (If Category X then use CSS Y...)? Banaticus (talk) 06:01, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Manual:Interface/Stylesheets says that you can create user css, but it doesn't say the same for articles. I am thinking it might be possible, but I am not certain. Maybe adding a /common.css after the name of the article will work. │Star-Warden│ 07:49, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

You can do this by using JavaScript, and coding the logic in JavaScript to detect what page the user is viewing (usually with mw.config.get('wgPageName')) and then load the required JavaScript.

If the set of CSS rules to apply on specific pages are small, you can put them in the MediaWiki:Common.css page and prefix them with the current page class. Each page has a specific CSS class applied to the body tag, so you can use that to limit the scope of those rules to specific pages. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:08, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Shorten the url to wiki.dtv instead of wiki.dtv/mediawiki

I am a beginner with apache or mediawiki and i cannot figure out how to make opening wiki.dtv point to the mediawiki page instead of default apache one. I tried changing the "directory root" in apache but that had issues with links in mediawiki. What is the common practice, as mediawiki is the only webpage on this server? Dacrade (talk) 07:18, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

I am not sure if they help, but there's some settings related to this in LocalSettings.php:

# The URL base path to the directory containing the wiki; defaults for all runtime URL paths are based off of this.

# For more information on customizing the URLs (like /w/index.php/Page_title to /wiki/Page_title) please see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL

$wgScriptPath = "";

$wgArticlePath = "/$1";

$wgUsePathInfo = true;

$wgScriptExtension = ".php"; │Star-Warden│ 07:46, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

I would seriously recommend keeping your wiki at /wiki or whatever and then putting a redirect from / to /wiki.

Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version and find the entry points section (they know what they are doing!) Make your wiki the same and then add a redirection from / to /wiki for convenience.

(I've had to amend these somewhat because I use HAProxy as a front end but should work OK when you've translated for your hostname and paths)

# doc Virtual host - Apache

ServerName doc.example.co.uk:80

<VirtualHost _default_:80>

ServerAdmin webmaster@example.co.uk

ServerName  doc.example.co.uk

DocumentRoot /var/www/html

Alias /wiki /var/www/wiki/index.php

Alias /w /var/www/wiki

</VirtualHost>

In LocalSettings.php:

$wgServer      = "http://doc.example.co.uk";

$wgScriptPath  = "/w";

$wgArticlePath = '/wiki/$1';

Get that working first and then put a redirect in the Vhost config - there are loads of howtos around.

Cheers

Jon Gerdesj (talk) 23:15, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Configuring it so page names start directly at the root directory can cause several issues, since those URLs will clash with normal files (path to images, scripts like index.php, api.php, etc), thus is not recommended. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:56, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Not entirely true, as you could keep the files in a sub-directory which is not a valid page name (such as _wiki), then you'd just have to worry about collisions from non-MW files, such as robots.txt. 120.144.32.44 (talk) 02:22, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Captcha Fails, spam suceeds

Hi. Our captcha trigger seems to be malfunctioning since this morning and there have already appeared some spammy accounts. I am getting these errors while on the login page (http://dragon-mania-legends-wiki.mobga.me/Special:UserLogin): Notice: Undefined index: badlogin /srv/dml-wiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit/SimpleCaptcha/Captcha.php on line 348 Notice: Undefined index: badloginperuser in /srv/dml-wiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit/SimpleCaptcha/Captcha.php on line 365

and on the create account page (http://dragon-mania-legends-wiki.mobga.me/Special:CreateAccount): Notice: Undefined index: createaccount in /srv/dml-wiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit/SimpleCaptcha/Captcha.php on line 924

I don't understand why it does that since we're using QuestyCaptcha and not SimpleCaptcha. Deleting the folder brings the wiki down. I tried disabling SimpleCaptcha in /ConfirmEdit/extension.json under AutoloadClasses (line 51), but no luck.

We're using the REL1_27 version of ConfirmEdit. I disabled create accounts, for now, so the error on the createaccount page cannot be seen, but the ones on the login page can be seen. The console doesn't display any related java errors, so I am not sure what's causing it.... │Star-Warden│ 07:20, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Update: the exact same issue happens on the wiki, used for testing purposes, installed on my PC (through xampp). │Star-Warden│ 09:55, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

While I was waiting/trying to find a solution for this issue, I tried using ConfirmAccount to, at least, permit the creation of user accounts, but in a controlled manner. Apparently, there's an issue with this extension, as well. On the 'request account' page (http://dragon-mania-legends-wiki.mobga.me/Special:RequestAccount), I am getting this issue

Notice: Undefined index: createaccount in /srv/dml-wiki/extensions/ConfirmAccount/frontend/specialpages/actions/RequestAccount_body.php on line 245

As I wrote above, the 'createaccount' index seems to be undefined in the issue related to ConfirmEdit. And even if I add a user name and email and hit 'request account', I get this: "Error sending mail:

Unknown error in PHP's mail() function." Why? I used php update.php to create the necessary tables and what I added in LocalSettings was:

require_once "$IP/extensions/ConfirmAccount/ConfirmAccount.php";
$wgMakeUserPageFromBio = false;
$wgAutoWelcomeNewUsers = false;
$wgConfirmAccountRequestFormItems = array(
'UserName' => array( 'enabled' => true ),
'RealName' => array( 'enabled' => false ),
'Biography' => array( 'enabled' => false, 'minWords' => 50 ),
'AreasOfInterest' => array( 'enabled' => false ),
'CV' => array( 'enabled' => false ),
'Notes' => array( 'enabled' => false ),
'Links' => array( 'enabled' => false ),
'TermsOfService' => array( 'enabled' => false )
);

How do I define those indexes? │Star-Warden│ 13:55, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Okay, now that's very strange. The issue fixed itself after I moved the entire code at the bottom of localsettings.php... But why? Why was the position important? │Star-Warden│ 18:13, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Okay, for anyone who's interested, I ran some tests and I found the culprit. The issue occured when the Captcha code was placed before the call for Wikiforum: wfLoadExtension( 'WikiForum' );.

Initially, I thought it was because of this value $wgCaptchaTriggers['wikiforum'] = true;, but disabling it or placing it after the call, even if the captcha call was before the wikiforum call, still caused the same undefined indexes issue. Then I navigated to the forum and tried opening a thread and I got this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method QuestyCaptcha::getFormInformation() in /srv/dml-wiki/extensions/WikiForum/WikiForumClass.php on line 359

Line 359 in that .php file is $formInformation = $captcha->getFormInformation();

Someone else pointed out this issue, on another thread of mine, where I showed some extracts from the server error log: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project%3ASupport%20desk/Flow/2016/10#h-Visual_Editor_500_error-Book_rendering_failed-2016-10-30T19%3A03%3A00.000Z

If I disable $wgCaptchaTriggers['wikiforum'] = true;, then the forum is working again, but it won't be able to prevent spammy comments since it won't run captchas. Is there any way around it or it's an unsolvable issue since the author doesn't maintain the REL branches? It can prevent spam from anonymous by setting $wgWikiForumAllowAnonymous to false, but then anonymous aren't able to comment. │Star-Warden│ 18:43, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Update: The part about the position is my fault, as I completely forgot the instructions here. I tidied up localsettings a bit the other day and I wasn't aware the position was important. Still, even if $wgCaptchaTriggers['wikiforum'] = true; is set below the call for ConfirmEdit, I will still get the fatal error from my previous reply. It seems that by setting $wgWikiForumAllowAnonymous to false, the error won't show up anymore for those who aren't forced to enter the captcha, but then the captchatrigger is pretty useless since my intention is to allow anonymous to comment, but to prevent spammers. Plus, the error will still show up for non-autoconfirmed users (but it won't show up for those who aren't forced to go through the captcha). │Star-Warden│ 19:06, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Categories and pages don't update

For the life of me I can't figure out what's going on with this MW installation. This category here: http://www.paijat-hamewiki.fi/wiki/Luokka:Muusikot is supposed to show under the 'Henkilöitä Päijät-Hämeestä' category. I also tried creating a new Demo Luokka (category) and adding a page to it. The problem is that none of the categories or pages are being updated and they still say they're joined to other categories when they shouldn't be. Also the page in my demo category has a red link even though when you click on the link, it goes to the page.

I have run refreshlinks.php, rebuildall.php and runJobs.php in case it was stuck there. Could anyone give any insight as to what's happening? It's running version 1.27.0. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks! Craftycoding (talk) 14:04, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

See Manual:$wgRunJobsAsync! 87.123.59.205 (talk) 14:31, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Maybe it is a cache problem at your end, the categories appear to be fine. The page you linked to is showing under categories: "Henkilöitä Päijät-Hämeestä" and "Demo Luokka". AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 14:32, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Further to that insight - do you (Craftycoding) use a web proxy for your browsers? Gerdesj (talk) 22:55, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks everyone. It must be a really huge cache problem then as it's lasted over a month. If you can see that info in the right place then there's not many options other than the cache. Also no I don't use a web proxy, and this has also been reported by other users, so is it possible that a server side cache is causing the problem?

Thanks for your help so far, I'm stumped. Craftycoding (talk) 08:42, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Another update. The job queue was huge so following the instructions here: Manual:$wgRunJobsAsync I emptied it and rebuilt the links. Still no joy. Then I did rebuildall.php and it still hasn't helped. I emptied the cache folder on the server and it's still not updating. The class pages just aren't updating no matter what I do. This page http://www.paijat-hamewiki.fi/wiki/Luokka:Muusikot should show under this categories: http://www.paijat-hamewiki.fi/wiki/Luokka:Henkil%C3%B6it%C3%A4_P%C3%A4ij%C3%A4t-H%C3%A4meest%C3%A4 Do all of you see it that way or is it missing? :/ Craftycoding (talk) 09:16, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

From my end, Luokka:Muusikot is showing the category: "Henkilöitä Päijät-Hämeestä", but the category page for "Henkilöitä Päijät-Hämeestä" is not showing the "Luokka:Muusikot" page. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:06, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Ok so it's not a (just a cache thing) it's actually not updating anything :/ I really don't know what more to try. Anyone got any advice?

Thanks for your time. Craftycoding (talk) 10:43, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Can you reconfirm that the jobs queue is at 0, through your Wiki's API (<Wiki-URL>/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics&format=jsonfm)?

Maybe try performing null edits on the category pages to force them to update. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 12:32, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi there,

Yes the jobs queue is at 6 at the moment but it was a lot bigger yesterday. It was around 1970 when I cleared it. After clearing it I ran the rebuild scripts but still no update unfortunately. It seems to just be stuck somehow without updating the categories. Craftycoding (talk) 13:43, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

How to suppress certain errors to deal with runaway log files.

I recently inherited ownership of a website set up with mediawiki, it seems like the previous administrator set up some logging functionality to log errors and other info to files. These files are owned by a faceless account and the logs have gotten so big that occasionally they cause our wiki to go down and we have to contact our IT guys who delete the file as root, but eventually the file grows to a big size again.

We have searched through the code and have tried to suppress the error but to no avail, here is a sample of what's in the logs, does anyone have an idea of which file/class/function they could be coming from so we can stop the logging? Thanks.

One log is titled access, and has the following lines:

$IPADDRESS - - [15/Sep/2016:11:34:03 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 401 381 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.3

6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36"

It seems to be logging a bunch of GET requests.

The other file logs errors.

[Thu Sep 15 11:32:43.243205 2016] [:error] [pid XXX:tid XXX] [client XXXXX] PHP Strict Standards:  Dec

laration of Auth_remoteuser::initUser() should be compatible with AuthPlugin::initUser(&$user, $autocreate = false) in /Auth_remoteuser.php on line 202

These files grow to huge sizes and we don't know how to delete them without contacting root, any ideas? 134.134.139.74 (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

The first line, the GET request which you are quoting, is part of an Apache server log. It is not an error, all it shows is a normal page request.

The strict standards error points to an issue in the Auth_remoteuser, which you are using.

The keyword for growing log files is: logrotate! Use this tool to rotate the log files, e.g. daily, so that they do not become that large anymore. 87.123.59.205 (talk) 18:45, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Just to expand on what Mr 87..205 said: Those logs are part of the infrastructure logging and your IT guys should be on top of it. They are from the web server and nothing to do with Mediawiki itself, which is just the content. I suspect that you find them under /var/log/apache or /var/log/http or similar on a Unix like system or somewhere else on something else.

There are a few options and given that you don't specify OS or distro or anything usefull:

• Cause less logging - Apache has a LogLevel parameter - turn it "down"
• Rotate the logs and as 87..205 mentioned, they ("root") should install the logrotate package to do this for Unix like systems
• On Unix like systems, Apache can be made to send logs through a system logger like syslog, syslog-ng or rsyslog - those systems can be made to drop entries or filter them in some way

Whilst "they" are at it, if this wiki is an important resource to your organisation then there really ought to be some sort of monitoring being performed for things like disc space usage etc.

Basically, as end users this problem really isn't yours (although the effect is). Your IT mob need to step up. Gerdesj (talk) 22:54, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Watchlist not sending email notifications.

We recently migrated our wiki to a new server, and upgraded to MW 1.27. It appears the 'watchlist' is no longer sending email notifications. There are 2 issues,

1. the automatic Job queue fails with the error "[null [runJobs] Failed to start cron API: received 'HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized]"
2. I've run the job queue manually from the maintenance directory, and it appears to run successfully, but no emails are sent.

I'm less concerned about item (1). I'd be happy if I could run it manually (e.g. cron).

Its entirely possible this is some system configuration on our end, but I do I track it down? I've confirmed that the the php 'mail' command works correctly. Berbo (talk) 19:53, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Does the new server run exactly the same OS/distro and packages as the old one? If not, then bad move - one change at a time, always, when you are moving things around. Anyway, please give us a hint at what is running here. cron implies a Unix like system so that's a minimal start.

We don't need your inside leg measurement to have a bash at making suggestions but please don't expect us to read your mind.

Sorry for the terse description. I was hoping there are some obvious things to look for when debugging this problem.

We moved from SUSE (SLES 11) running Apache 2.2/PHP 5.3 to RedHat SE Linux running Apache 2.4 / PHP 5.6 ( I didn't have the option of staging the changes). Then upgraded from MW 1.19 to MW 1.27.

Possibly its an issue with the SE Linux, which seems to break stuff. But as indicated I was able to run a simple PHP page to send mail, so I don't think its that. Berbo (talk) 16:21, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

PHP usually have different configurations for web and command line, maybe that's your case and the mail configuration of the command line php.ini is not complete. You can also try setting $wgSMTP if you have PEAR mail.

Jobs run in web requests are very buggy in 1.27.1, there have been attempts to fix it for 1.27.2 which hasn't been released yet. You may try to set $wgRunJobsAsync = false; to fall-back to a more resilient way. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:13, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

It's possible by using JavaScript, sure, but MediaWiki doesn't provide such mechanism. You may find somewhere on the Internet a script that allows to do that, and maybe integrate it in one of the pages where you can load JavaScript for all the site.

What should I do? Tribly (talk) 17:54, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

This is a problem with Extension:Flow. The source code is here: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Flow/blob/047b01b850caf30b677a1c32a83cce9df5151826/includes/BoardMover.php#L81

Obviously,

$this->storage->find( 'Workflow', array(
		'workflow_wiki' => wfWikiID(),
		'workflow_page_id' => $oldPageId,
) );

is returning null in your case. As to what you describe, the $oldPageId is set correctly, so the problem will be somewhere else in this code - or in $this->storage->find(). Jörgi123 (talk) 19:38, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

How to generate correct thumb url with $wgForeignFileRepos when using shared images?

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present error with thumb.php

Hi guys,

I have all my images file in commonswiki.org. When visit these file from en.mywiki.org (link https://commonswiki.org/thumb.php?f=Jul_27_2016_BicunSouth_KTT.JPG&width=800)

I got this error No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present error

I set the $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains[] = 'en.mywiki.org'; in commonswiki but still get same error. Does the thumb.php return Cross header? Deletedaccount4567435 (talk) 05:35, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

How are you loading the image so it gives such error? Apparently the Access-Control-Allow-Origin is only required when loading resources from XMLHttpRequest, fonts, WebGL textures and drawImage patterns. Normal wiki images aren't usually loaded this way, so they shouldn't get this error. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:30, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

system messages

Is there a way to apply a change to all the languages of a particular system message without having to change all of them? Example: I would like to edit MediaWiki:Uploadtext in English, but I would like for that change to be reflected in Uploadtext/de or Uploadtext/en-gb and so on without having to edit all those pages. 188.24.66.168 (talk) 08:22, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Put that name in $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg wargo (talk) 08:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the answer. Unfortunately, it seems I am doing it wrong. I tried editing some system messages created by Extension:MediaWikiChat and Extension:CharInsert (chat-topic and edittools). I added the code in localsettings.php as follows: <code>wfMessage( 'chat-topic', 'edittools' )->inContentLanguage()->text();</code>. I am not exactly sure what I should add and where. This section isn't very good at explaining either. Wish MediaWiki would give more examples. 188.24.66.168 (talk) 20:45, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

$wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg = array( 'chat-topic', 'edittools' ); wargo (talk) 21:41, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I did that, as well, but it still didn't work. 188.24.66.168 (talk) 06:59, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey again. This time I tried using 'uploadtext' (since it's not a system message created by an extensions, but in-built in the software) and it still didn't work. 89.123.224.116 (talk) 15:02, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Relative file path error when php runJobs.php??

Hi guys,

For security reason I have placed my database setting to a location where nginx does not able to read. However, when running runjobs.php as well as upgrade.php, I get file not found error. How to solve this problem? Is this a bug?

$wgDBname     = "enwiki";

require_once("../wwwwiki/wgLBFactoryConf.php");

require_once("../../wwwwiki/CommonSettings.php");

require_once("../../wwwwiki/ExtensionSetting.php");

error message:

PHP Warning:  require_once(../wwwwiki/wgLBFactoryConf.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /wiki/LocalSettings.php on line 9 Deletedaccount4567435 (talk) 07:46, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't see how is this more secure... Assuming database is not accessible from outside the webserver, there shouldn't be any additional problem if an attacker is able to read your username/password from LocalSettings.php. Also, if MediaWiki is able to access it, it can also be accessed by any other random script as well... Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 01:30, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Manual:Securing database passwords : Keep MySQL Passwords Out Of Webroot was an old security suggestion exist at least earlier than Mediawiki 1.25. The first time I saw this page was 2012.

The problem is we are using wgLBFactoryConf for wiki farm, where it must be a single file accessible for all wikis, and We can't put it directly under /wwwwiki/wgLBFactoryConf.php.

If a retard guy or bad extension mess up the website, using relative path could reduce the chance of file path exposure. Deletedaccount4567435 (talk) 14:31, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

You should avoid using relative paths like "../", use $IP or absolute paths instead. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:48, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

I have heard the recommendation to move the credentials outside of the web root quite a few times. The only reason I can think of where this helps is if PHP got broken: If PHP no longer parsed PHP files, it might happen that the server returns their textual content including the database credentials. This would not happen, were the credentials stored outside of the web root. 87.123.62.243 (talk) 10:09, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

How to fetch Page Creation date from database?

How to fetch Page Creation date and Last modified date from database in a single query using joins. I know they are in Page and revisions table. But my experience with joins in php is very less. Am trying to create an extension and this requires the above to be done in php. Thanks! Ashni rai (talk) 11:53, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't think ttrying to do that in one single query is a good idea. You would need to get all revisions from the revision table, which potentially are thousands of rows. And that while you do not need them at all!

I would query the rev_timestamp field for the oldest and the newest revision of a given page; makes two queries. 87.123.23.126 (talk) 15:22, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Error message : "This Site Can't Be Reached".

I am trying to put together my wiki, but I keep getting an error saying "This Site Can't Be Reached". I know it can be, because sometimes it will just take a second and the page loads and other times I have to manually reload the page and start again. Can anyone help? Attached is a screenshot of the message I am getting.and this is what I was doing when it happened. Hevnlymom (talk) 01:51, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

At-least in some cases, this happens because of a connection problem between your browser and the server hosting your Wiki.

Is this happening often?

One connection problem is that, for a short amount of time, the server cannot be accessed from a particular geographical location. To make sure that this isn't the error, try accessing your site through a different geographical location (using a proxy, or tor etc.). Or better yet, just use a tool like uptrends.

Also, if you are repeatedly losing your work and have to "start again" because of the "This Site Can't Be Reached" error on clicking the "Save page" button - click the "Back" button of your browser, as your work is likely to still be saved in the browser cache. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:50, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

If the error happens when clicking save or preview, hitting F5 is preferred instead of hitting back and submit again (F5 will resubmit the same form), since JavaScripts and some gadgets, specially Visual Editor, may cause that when you hit back the text you've modified is no longer there.

You can see the server error log to see if there's any segfault error or similar, when this connection reset happens. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 18:22, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't get the error every time I try, but just a lot in the last 2 days. My mother lives in NY and I am in TX. She attempted to view the site and got the same message and she wasn't even trying to save anything. Hevnlymom (talk) 23:58, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Ciencia Al Poder for the info.

This does appear to be a server side issue. Ask your hosting provider for any information from their side. I would suggest trying to access the site form a different geographical location (like a different country) or try using the uptrends tool when the problem occurs.

Updating mediawiki 1.15.5-7

Hello,

I would like to update my mediawiki 1.15.5-7 that work under postgres. However, Ive an error message when I try this command :

root@server:/usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance# php update.php WikiSysop --pass $Pass ($Pass is set of obviously)

MediaWiki 1.15.5-7 Updater

No superuser credentials could be found. Please provide the details of a user with appropriate permissions to update the database. See AdminSettings.sample for more details.

What's the problem please ? What is this credential ? Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 16:34, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Version 1.15 is really old and updating it is a good idea!

MediaWiki 1.15 is trying to read the database credentials from AdminSettings.php.

However, you do not need this file at all: When you are doing the upgrade, you will usually first upgrade the files of the installation and only afterwards run the update.php script. With other words: At the point where you are using update.php, you will already be using your new version of MediaWiki. The supported versions currently are 1.23, 1.26 and 1.27 and none of them is using AdminSettings.php anymore. 87.123.62.243 (talk) 16:41, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Ok thanks a lot. However, if I take the 1.26 or 1.27 files, how I do, I have to delete the old files or I uncompress the new files ABOVE the olders ? Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 16:54, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

You should extract the new files into a new folder to make sure that old files are out of the way. Then you move over the files, which you still need (like LocalSettings.php or the contents of the images/ folder for example).

More details are on page upgrade! 87.123.62.243 (talk) 17:13, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you but it still not working :( :( :(

Actually my old version 1.15.5-7 was in /var/lib/mediawki working with postgres 9.1 and the config file in /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php

I have downloded mediawiki 1.26.4 and extracted the content in /etc/mediawiki-1.26.4 then and I have copied the /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php in /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/LocalSettings.php

Idem for images : cp -p /var/lib/mediawiki/images /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/images and chown www-data: /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/images.

Then I have tryied again : root@server:/usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance# php update.php WikiSysop --pass $Pass and here is what it yields :

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SiteConfiguration in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/SiteConfiguration.php on line 18

WTF ? Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 13:10, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

I found your topic Project:Support desk/Flow/2016/04#h-Automatic_config_after_installation_for_version_1.15-2016-04-05T10:47:00.000Z from 7 months ago. In that topic you told us that you were using a number of different MediaWiki installation, which would be linked somehow. Is that still what you are trying to update here? (At least the error message is the same.)

You currently have

/etc/mediawiki-1.26.4  => MW 1.26
/opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/LocalSettings.php => New LocalSettings.php file
/opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/images => New images/ folder

Then you tried

$/usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance# php update.php WikiSysop --pass $Pass

As far as I understand it, you are running this command on the old installation. Make sure to run it from inside /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/maintenance/ instead - and leave away the parameters:

/opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/maintenance/#php update.php

Also in Project:Support desk/Flow/2016/04#h-Automatic_config_after_installation_for_version_1.15-2016-04-05T10:47:00.000Z Ciencia gave you an advice on what to do with the weird directory structure, which you are currently having. 87.123.32.63 (talk) 15:07, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, yes during this moment I tried a lot of things but it was not working, I admit that I did not do the rights manipulations and I should forget it for while. Now I can work on this update, at least till the end of the next week.... You can trust me, since Im talking to you, I tried exactly what I said in this thread, it means :

- Uncompress the mediawiki 1.26.4 in /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4

- Copy the old images from /var/lib/mediawiki/images to /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/images (+ chown -R www-data: /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/images)

- I have copied my old /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php to /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/LocalSettings.php

- Then I tried /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/maintenance/#php update.php (with or without WikiSysop --pass $Pass), that it yields this error :

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SiteConfiguration in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/SiteConfiguration.php on line 18

However, I just read your message and you told me, I have to put the NEW LocalSettings.php in /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4 and therefore Im wondering how can I obtain the new one ??? To have it I have to create a new vhost to point to /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4 (ok no pb) after it asks me to install this new mediawiki .... Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 11:03, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

I do trust you in what you say; I just have to understand what it means.

With the "new" LocalSettings.php file I just mean the copy, which you created when you put that file into the folder /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/. You can just continue using this copy of the file. There is no need to "install the wiki again" or something like that in order to create a new file with different content. The file can just be used as is.

I have now checked the source code of SiteConfiguration.php and line 18 does not contain a class declaration. See https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/REL1_26/includes/SiteConfiguration.php. Actually, although you now executed the update.php file from the right directory, the error message is still mentioning the folder /usr/share/mediawiki, which is the old installation!

I don't know why the Ubuntu guys have split up the installation files into different locations and what they have done to make the one location link to the other. However, you still have to make sure that the old files are not used anymore! 87.123.0.246 (talk) 12:42, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

1 : Yes, I don't know why it uses the /usr/share/mediawiki path instead the path where Im ... The problem is I have to keep this path because when it will work, I should prepare a package to update all our servers (we have a lot of MW 1.15.5-7 unfortunatly ...)

2 : I don't understand for the LocalSettings.php, you mean I can use the old one as well ? and I have to put it in /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4 ? Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 13:23, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

So I tried something else. I had a /etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki.conf with :

Alias /mediawiki /var/lib/mediawiki

<Directory /var/lib/mediawiki>

<Location /mediawiki> etc ...

Then today I created /etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki126.conf

Alias /mediawiki126 /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4

<Directory /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4/>

<Location /mediawiki126> etc ...

I deleted the old LocalSettings of MW 1.15 in /opt/mediawiki-1.26.4

Then I typed the URL https://localhost/mediawiki126 and set up the new configuration :

DbType : postgres

DbName : wikidb126

install account : postgres

DB account for web access : wikiuser (as before)

Admin account : WikiSysop (as before)

Ok the install has worked, but for the owner of the wikidb126 that I had to change despite the fact I specified wikiuser for db account, its owner will be postgres :

Glad to hear that the wiki now is basically working. Since the folder /usr/share/mediawiiki /usr/share/mediawiiki_old then will no longer be used, you most likely can remove that one.

Information on an error 500 usually is available in the Apache error log.

That the page_counter column has been deleted from the database is correct. You now need to figure out, where in the source code this column still is used. Maybe you still have to update a few extensions? 87.123.0.246 (talk) 18:05, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

I still noticed one thing: Your latest error message (the Postgres error, which tells you that the page_counter column no longer is there), is still coming from /usr/share/mediawiki/, from your old installation.

Please make sure that this old installation no longer is used. You said you would have moved the files away into a different folder?! 87.123.30.181 (talk) 20:51, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes exactly, thus, I have moved /usr/share/mediawiki in /usr/share/mediawiki_ and /var/lib/mediawiki in /var/lib/mediawiki. Hoever, is-it normal to find this line in the former LocalSettings.php ?

define('MW_INSTALL_PATH','/var/lib/mediawiki');

Sinice, I had to change by the new path, otherwise MW is not able to find the skin folder :

define('MW_INSTALL_PATH','/opt/mediawiki-1.26.4');

This way it's working, it finds the skin folder.

I shoud as well add this line, otherwise MW does not consider the skin folder either :

wfLoadSkin( 'CologneBlue' );

wfLoadSkin( 'Modern' );

wfLoadSkin( 'MonoBook' );

wfLoadSkin( 'Vector' );

Does that make sense there is no "$" at the beginning ? Otherwise it's not working... Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 11:26, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

The lines, in which you are loading the skins, are correct that way, without $-sign at the beginning.

MW_INSTALL_PATH should normally be set by MediaWiki automatically while it is running. Normally, there is no need to explicitly define it. (If I remember correctly, that may have been different in MW 1.15.) In MediaWiki 1.26, MediaWiki should instead determine MW_INSTALL_PATH all by itself. Maybe you can try, if it is working, if you remove that line. However, if it's only working with the path set explicitly, then leave it in! 87.123.5.18 (talk) 13:09, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

The update is working now, Im preparing a ubuntu package for the 1.26.4 (not 1.27 because our php version is 5.3 and 1.27 requires at least php 5.5). It has been difficult to upgrade from le ubuntu package 1.15 !! Anyway thank you for your help ;) if I could pay you cofee I would do it :) Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 22:44, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Glad I could help! I am drinking my coffee with milk and sugar! :-)

If you ask me, huge part of the problem was that strange directory structure, which the Ubuntu package for version 1.15 has created. The process would be way easier, if the new package just created a standard installation with all files in one folder, not in multiple places. 87.123.7.145 (talk) 23:23, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

This is Im going to do in fact. I will take the 1.23.15 coz it's a LTS and I ll package it. I have to mange the installation, transfert the images from the old 1.15 if detected and delete it after. Our servers are still under ubuntu precise (12.04) et no longer supported. Under trusty (14.04) ubuntu offer their mediawiki 1.19 but it's the same structure (/usr/share/mediawiki & /var/lib/mediawiki) therefore it's no !! definitly :) Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 13:45, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

ImageMap

Hello,

I am trying to use the ImageMap feature of the MediaWiki. Overall it is working just fine, but no matter what I try, i got the following problem:

The text after the ImageMap will always be a Link to the Image it self. The Link will go to the next footnote in the Text.

Here is the Code i used for the ImageMap:

==The Event-Driven Process Chain==
<imagemap>
Image:EPC_example.png|alt=Exemplary EPC process model.|Exemplary EPC process model|300px|thumb
circle 355 580 55 [[XOR Operator | XOR Operator]]
rect 240 270 475 425 [[Function | Function]]
rect 240 0 475 165 [[Event | Event]]
rect 0 720 240 880 [[Event | Event]]
rect 470 720 706 880 [[Event | Event]]
</imagemap>
The event-driven process chain (EPC) has been one of the most dominant languages for business process modelling over the last decades and is well established in both research and practice.[1]

Anybody got an Idea why this is? Here is a Link to the given Page: https://www.epc-standard.org/collaborate/Main_Page

Thanks 131.173.196.24 (talk) 18:30, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Looks like the HarvardReferences extension is conflicting with imagemap. Can you try disabling the HarvardReferences extension and see if that fixes it? Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 02:35, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the answer, but  apparently disabling the HarvardReferences extension made things even worse... Now the text will be linked till the next link in the text. But cause disabling the extension makes a different, it should have to do sth. with some reference configurations? We use the Cite Extension that is already built in in the MediaWiki. I have disabled both of them but with the same result as just disabling the HarvardReferences extension. Any additional idea is welcome!

Thanks! 131.173.166.59 (talk) 11:24, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

I found another "interesting" facet of the issue.

If i edit the page and go to the quick preview (not the "show preview" at the bottom of the page), everything is working fine? I don't know if that could help... 131.173.166.59 (talk) 11:44, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

I suspect it does not happen without the "thumb" option (try "right"). With thumb (or frame) the image link for the caption ends up inserted again, after the image, wrapping all subsequent text, terminating at the next link (hence why disabling the HarvardReferences extension made it worse).

I can reproduce the behaviour on a plain 1.27.1 wiki with no other extensions. But on a different 1.27.1 wiki (which has lots of extensions and I cannot control) it does not happen, nor does it happen on mediawiki. Not sure where the bug lies. Clump (talk) 12:09, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

This is a known bug in ImageMap. 120.144.32.44 (talk) 12:40, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Saving specific sides from a broken Ubuntu

Hello,

because of a HDD failure of the Host VM my Ubuntu Installation with the MediaWiki installed on it is broken. I am able to boot from a LiveCD and access the mounted HDD, however wasnt able to fix the OS.

My question now is: is it possible to get two specific wiki sides with only access to the file system? I dont really care for the rest but these sides are pretty important for me and yes i know i am an idiot for not making a proper backup.

Thank you! 62.156.184.62 (talk) 10:22, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes, you can access database files and script files (core, extensions, config...). wargo (talk) 10:36, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Okay where can i find them? 62.156.184.62 (talk) 10:39, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

By default it's in /var/www and /var/lib/mysql.

Maybe you can describe error? wargo (talk) 10:42, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the fast response!

Well there isnt really an error for Mediawiki, its just that i am not able to repair the original server. I tried to just shift the folders to another (my Nagios) Server, but all i get is

"A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software."

I guess the database has to be connected? 62.156.184.62 (talk) 13:42, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Depends on how you "shift the folders" and which command triggers that error message. Clear steps to reproduce the problem are welcome. :) Malyacko (talk) 12:43, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

If the only thing you did was just copy-paste the folders to another server then the "A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software." error most likely indicates that the MediaWiki files cannot connect to the the database. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 15:31, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Pretty much that, i just shifted the folders, which is obviously not working.

My new idea is to install a new Mediawiki from scratch, is there a posibility to import the old stuff with what is left of the /www amd /mysql folders? Like i sayed before it doesnt has to be pretty, a raw output would work fine. Is this viable?

Thank you very much! 62.156.184.62 (talk) 07:14, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Migrate mediawiki from Ubuntu to Windows?

Hello, I need to migrate mediawiki off an old Ubuntu Server (11.04) and was curious if I could migrate it to a Windows server? This would go to either a Server 2008R2 or 2016 Server if possible

Ubuntu 11.04

Current Mediawiki version 1.16.4

MySQL 5.1.63

PHP 5.3.5

Apache 2.2.17 Vjsuarez2002 (talk) 21:55, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

That should be possible, see Manual:Moving a wiki!

Depending on what you have on the new server (PHP and MySQL versions), you will also have to Update MediaWiki to version 1.26 or 1.27. 87.123.0.246 (talk) 23:32, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

This content can’t be shown in a frame.

Hi,

I added widgets 1.2.1 to my work mediawiki, edited the LocalSettings.php and added "$IP/extensions/Widgets/Widgets.php"; When I check the version in special pages I can see that is loaded and working fine

When I add "Google forms" I get "This content can’t be shown in a frame. There is supposed to be some content here, but the publisher doesn’t allow it to be displayed in a frame. This is to help protect the security of any information you might enter into this site."

If I used sample google forms pages from anywhere on the net, google or even here in mediawiki my pages load fine but when I make my own google form always het this error.

This doesn't seem to be about embedding MediaWiki inside another form, but embedding a google form inside MediaWiki. In that case, $wgEditPageFrameOptions won't help. Google forms seem to require you to use a special URL to embed the form. See this. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:12, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

How to delete deletion history?

Hi guys,

Just get an old wiki with about 85k spam pages without any backup. I delete all spam with DeleteBatch.php. Then the problem become 85k pages deletion history. How can I remove all those deletion record?

Thank you! Deletedaccount4567435 (talk) 06:33, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Are you trying to hide that you deleted those pages? If so, you will need revision rights, which you need to enable in localsettings.php (see Manual:RevisionDelete). If you're trying to delete archived revisions (but not the history of a page), then Manual:DeleteArchivedRevisions.php. If you're trying to delete page histories, then Manual:DeleteOldRevisions.php.

There's also an extension that lets you delete pages permanently, without any trace (Extension:DeletePagesForGood). You could also delete their data by accessing the database itself and searching them in the tables they belong to (though you're better off trying the previous options).

Hope it helps! │Star-Warden│ 09:57, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Is there any way to selective delete(remove from database ,not hide) those deleted version of spam pages from text table and archive table?

It seems I can clean out text table by purgeOldText.php. However, before that I need to selective delete those spam page from archive table. How to do so?

deleteArchivedRevisions.php isn't selective. Deletedaccount4567435 (talk) 02:34, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

By selective do you mean containing a specific phrase/word? If so, just use the search function of the database. │Star-Warden│ 07:32, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

The deletions are logged inside the database table logging. Deletions have "delete" as value in column log_type. You can then limit the rows to remove e.g. using the value of log_timestamp and of log_user_text. 87.123.0.246 (talk) 10:25, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

The correct answer to the original question has been given by 87.123.0.246. You also can delete removed contents from the text table - see Manual:Combating_vandalism#If_vandalism_has_won_the_last_battle_on_your_wiki. This however will not influence the log entries at all. 87.123.0.65 (talk) 09:04, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

If you deleted many spam revisions in one go, then it will be pretty simple to identify and delete them from the database: Inside the archive table, these revisions will have a value for ar_id. This value is an auto_increment and together with the other values of a given row you will be able to see, if you deleted the according revisions together with the other spam or if it got deleted in a different action. You can use ar_id and e.g. ar_user and ar_timestamp to check that! 87.123.0.65 (talk) 09:11, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Remote database setup

I have a running mediawiki with no issues 1.27xxx with php7. I have another site that is remote using exactly the same software, with the same database installed. I want to disconnect the mediawiki from the on site database and connect it to the remote database. I have found no instructions for doing that. Are ther einstructions that anyone knows of or can someone provide a way to do this. I am aware that the mediawiki may be set up initially like this, though have not done so. i just think there is something I am not aware of that will make this easier.

Image not shown Issue

Hi,

I am working on a new Mediawiki site, and I am having a problem with some images:

Since I have migrated the site to a new server all new images do not appear, instead there is an empty box:

http://adaptopedia.de/index.php?title=Borstige_Taigawurzel

or

http://adaptopedia.de/index.php?title=Engelwurz

I am doing the same as before in the other articles:

http://adaptopedia.de/index.php?title=Ginseng

or

http://adaptopedia.de/index.php?title=Brahmi

1) Uploading (FTP) the image to the /image folder on my server

2) Setting the Tags. e.g.:

[[Datei:Eleutherococcus_senticosus.jpg|miniatur|rechts|Illustration von ''Borstige Taigawurzel'']]

In the sites I have made before, everything is working fine, but the new sites, do not show the images.

Can you please hlep me and tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Rafael Rfnx (talk) 17:22, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Rafael,

your problem is that files inside the images/ folder cannot be accessed currently. E.g. the Engelwurz image has these URLs (thumb and original):

• http://adaptopedia.de/images/thumb/4/45/800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg/300px-800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg
• http://adaptopedia.de/images/4/45/800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg

which gives an error 403.

Other images in that folder however can be accessed, e.g. http://adaptopedia.de/images/thumb/b/b8/Panax_quinquefolius.jpg/800px-Panax_quinquefolius.jpg

Please make sure that access to all files in the images/ folder and in all of its subfolders is allowed! 87.123.0.246 (talk) 17:57, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

the rights are the same for both images:

-rw-r--r-- 1 web6 client0   94598 Dec 29  2015 Eleutherococcus_senticosus.jpg

like the Panax Picture:

-rw-r--r-- 1 web6 client0  154498 Dec 29  2015 Panax_quinquefolius.jpg

the access to all files is allowed! You can see it here:

http://adaptopedia.de/images/800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg

I dont know why there is a copy in "thumb/4/45/" or 4/45/" folder, i think its issued by the websites upload. Rfnx (talk) 18:55, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

and I've tried to chmod 775 the rights for:

• http://adaptopedia.de/images/thumb/4/45/800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg/300px-800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg
• http://adaptopedia.de/images/4/45/800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg

they look like this now on the server:

/thumb/4/45/

-rwxrwxr-x 1 web6 client0 552332 Nov  9 01:07 800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg

/4/45/

drwxrwxr-x 2 web6 client0 4096 Nov  9 01:18 800px-AngelicaArchangelica1.jpg

but the box is still empty:

http://adaptopedia.de/index.php?title=Engelwurz Rfnx (talk) 19:11, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes, most likely a filesystem permission issue on those images since they were imported from another server. You probably need to change the owner of the images folder, recursively. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 18:13, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

@Ciencia Al Poder

I migrated the whole kvm image to another server, so the permissions to the folder are the same as before:

drwxr-xr-x  8 web6 client0   4096 Nov  9 01:04 images

Only the IP changed.

The web6 user and its group client0 do have web access. Rfnx (talk) 18:48, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

I also wonder why the image is displayed when i click on my empty Imagebox on

http://adaptopedia.de/index.php?title=Datei:Eleutherococcus_senticosus.jpg#file

It leads to Wikimedia.org:

Problem Partial Text in a line should be centered

Hi,

I have a little formatting problem. I have to comment a code line of a configuration and the comment (no mediawiki comment)

should be centered . Here is the example:

ip-address <span style="background:yellow">10.242.64.41</span> <center>(* Loopback0 address *)</center>

The comment of the code is centered but not in the same line.

How can I prevent the line break? Someone an idea?

Kind regards

Thorsten Tuttikanone (talk) 07:35, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

The "center" element, which you are using is a block element. This is the reason for why it is displayed on its own line.

You could maybe try using a <span style="text-align: center;">(* Loopback0 address *)</span> instead. However, I don't know how browsers have to display this text, if there also is text in front of this part, which should not be centered. And even if you find what the HTML specification is telling for that case, the next question is, if browsers then really do it that way. Without knowing anything about it, my guess is: At least IE will surprise you.

Try the above, but my idea would be this:

Create a table with three columns. The table should be centered on the page. The middle column should only be as broad as needed for its content, not broader. The left and the right column should have the same width. Set content in the middle column to centered. Content in the left column should be aligned to the right so that it stands right next to the centered text from the middle column. 87.123.30.181 (talk) 11:01, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately the first idea doesn't work. I will try it with a table. 195.202.41.50 (talk) 06:24, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Redirect / Search does not work properly

Hi everyone,

I have two problems with my mediawiki.

1. If I search for a specific page, which exists, I just recive an result-page instead of being transfered to that page.
2. If I create a redirect page with "#REDIRECT["Destination Page"]" with no more chars than those (especially not leading), that page will only present the text for redirection instead of redirect immetiately. In addition, the "Destination Page", which exists, will be layouted as if it does NOT exist. By clicking on the destination, I can edit that page as if it is new to the system.

I think, both problems may be related, but I have no clue, how to solve them.

Can anyone help me out with this problem, please? =( 194.76.175.212 (talk) 08:34, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Mediawiki version is 1.26.3 and php version is 5.6.22. There is no error showing in console. 193.38.100.250 (talk) 09:28, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Be sure IE11 is not trying to render the wiki in "Internet Explorer 6.0 mode" or something like that, something that usually happens if your wiki is inside an intranet and the site is added to local intranet sites.

Hit F12 and see the "Emulation" tab. You can change Document mode to 11 or similar, in case it's in a document mode below 10. See this microsoft link Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:23, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Bugging out when trying to switch to source edit.

My colleague has reported to me that frequently he will be creating a page using VisualEditor extension (version 0.1.0 according to my special page). He will be documenting his design process , adding a large amount of text into a page, when he needs to add an image he needs to swap to edit source because of the lack of local file upload support in VisualEditor. When he does this it prompts him with a pop-up menu asking him: "did you mean to swap to source edit?" (something along those lines) and options being "No, cancel" "Yes, discard changes" "Yes, keep changes". Obviously he will select keep changes however once selected it just freezes the page and he looses all progress made (a whole lot of wasted time and frustration also). I am leaning more towards this being an issue with the extension so I have reported it as a bug to the devs but I am looking for any support so I thought I would also post here.

Cheers to anyone who read. Joescull1 (talk) 10:08, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Images Not Displaying

I just started my own wiki after using Wikia for many years. I am very experienced in wiki code but a complete novice in the back-end (PHP, etc.) stuff. I set image uploads to "true", but when I tried uploading a photo... It will not display properly. See here: http://internationalhockeywiki.com/ihw/index.php?title=File:Wiki_Logo.png

I am at a total loss for what to do, can someone please help me? I'd really appreciate it. Hockeyben (talk) 15:31, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

When I try to view the actual image, then your server responds with error 500. That is your problem.

What does the server error log say about this error? 87.123.30.181 (talk) 15:36, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration, referer: http://internationalhockeywiki.com/ihw/index.php?title=File:12-7-1907_Princes-Oxford.png

This is what the error log reports. No clue how to fix this. Hockeyben (talk) 16:29, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Anchor links

Hi, I am having problems with anchor links. I have a page that is a Glossary. Under each letter is a definition. That definition is an H4 header. So it should link to that. It is not. It just goes to a random spot on the Glossary page. Here is my a page with links as an example: http://wpbyd.com/wiki/index.php?title=TS_Fish_Kitchen_Disinfecting_%26_Cleaning#METHODOLOGYAny help is greatly appreciated.

E-mails Not Being Sent

I configured $wgSMTP in LocalSettings.php with a set of credentials and IP addresses that worked in past versions of MediaWiki but now, with version 1.27.1, I get an HTTP 500 error when I try to generate a new password and an e-mail is not sent.

E-mail used to work with a PEAR folder in the wiki's root folder as described at http://syrkos.com/blog/2013/04/12/manual-install-of-pear-mail-in-mediawiki/

I read that version 1.27 no longer requires a separate PEAR install so I removed the folder and commented out $pearPath = .... and ini_set (step 8 in the linked article).

What can I do to fix the problem?

Sadly, this is reported but there have been no progress so far. See T120896. The problem is with wincache, so as a workaround you'll need to remove $wgMainCacheType from your LocalSettings.php or install another caching system. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:02, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

You can try Extension:Approved Revs and Extension:Moderation, but if those pages already exist on the wiki you may not be able to "unpublish" them, that would be for new articles after the extension is installed. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:57, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

MultiUpload issues

Hi. Back when the wiki was founded, a very nice user mostly active at Wikia (Gguigui1), modified the MultiUpload extension (http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/MultiUpload) he wrote at Wikia Dev to work with our wiki (http://dragon-mania-legends-wiki.mobga.me/MediaWiki:MultiUpload.js). It's similar to MultiUpload here on MW. But since we upgraded our software to 1.27 and after fixing the JS issues, the script stopped working properly. Uploading looks like it's loading, but it's actually frozen. Might there be some lines inside it that need to be changed according to the recent JS migration pertaining to MW 1.27? Or is it a malfunction of our wiki? I must mention that I tried using MsUpload and SimpleBatchUpload but both extensions told me I don't have permission to upload files, even though I do have permission to do that. Using the in-built, single file uploader of MW works flawlessly (i.e. special:upload). The browser js console doesn't seem to give any related errors. What might be the cause of it? │Star-Warden│ 21:00, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

The variable:

$ WgPiwikURL = "piwik-host.tld / dir /";

What is wrong on this line? EMorgel (talk) 17:11, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Make sure to set $wgPiwikIDSite to the ID of your site in Piwik. For the first site, this ID will usually be "1".

Where can I find the ID of my website?

How does the syntax of this variable look like? EMorgel (talk) 17:14, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

The line should basically look like this:

$wgPiwikURL = "piwik-host.tld/dir/";

When you are getting this error, search LocalSettings.php for the word "piwik". The problem might also be one or multiple lines above the line, which is mentioned in the error message.

The Piwik Site ID can be seen in the piwik administration menu. Somewhere it has a page, on which you can define the different domains, which Piwik should track. And there it will also tell you the ID of each site. 87.123.36.37 (talk) 18:05, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

In update.php : syntax error, unexpected '[' in line 170

Hi.

When I try to execute update.php from command line, PHP terminates with "syntax error, unexpected '[' in line 170".

This is the line causing the error:

$updates = ( 'core', 'extensions' );

I'm trying to update from 1.20 to 1.27. I'm using php 5.6.27, MySQL 5.0.11 and centos-6-x86_64.

When I open update.php using Dreamweaver line 170 is marked like "syntax error", too.

I'm stuck because my 1.20 doesn't work with php 5.6 and the new one needs this database update. I was googling and there's no information about this problem.

Thanks. 2.137.90.91 (talk) 22:25, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Right... but if I set it to false, I wouldn't be able to see the box at all, thus I wouldn't be able to suppress the redirect and it will be created. I don't think hiddenprefs would affect it, either, as it's not a preference, so how do I uncheck it be default? 188.24.66.168 (talk) 02:11, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

You can add ?wpLeaveRedirect=0 to the end of the URL to load the form with the checkbox unchecked. How would you make that the default for every move? I'm not sure, but it would probably involve JavaScript. Reach Out to the Truth (talk) 02:29, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

1.23.15 - install.php with postgres

Hello all (again ^^)

I have had a problem during the packaging of the last MW 1.23.15 LTS. I have dl the 1.23.15 and the 1.26.2 in /opt :

/opt/mediawiki-1.23.15

/opt/mediawiki-1.26.2

and their apache conf :

/etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki123.conf (/mediawiki123)

/etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki126.conf (/mediawiki126)

.

Posgres is installed and works properly

dpkg -l | grep -E "postgres|pgsql"

php5-pgsql 5.4.34-1+deb.sury.org~precise+2

postgresql 9.1+129ubuntu1

postgresql-9.1 9.1.7-0ubuntu12.04

postgresql-client-9.1 9.1.7-0ubuntu12.04

postgresql-client-common 129ubuntu1

postgresql-common 129ubuntu1

.

Then I did

sudo -u postgres createuser -S -D -R -P -E wikiuser 'wikiuserpass'

sudo -u postgres createdb -O wikiuser wikidb123

sudo -u postgres createdb -O wikiuser wikidb126

.

When I attempt to install MW 1.23.15 (URL : https://my-server.com/mediawiki123/mw-config/index.php) I select :

DBType : PostgreSQL

Database host : localhost

Database port : 5432

Database name : wikidb123

Schema for Mediawiki : mediawiki

Database username : wikiuser

Database password : wikiuserpass

If I try to use the postgres account with no password, I have got this message:

Please enter a password for the new database user: postgres. While it may be possible to create users with no passwords, it is not secure.

.

When I click on continue, I have got a blank page (URL : https://my-server.com/mediawiki123/mw-config/index.php?page=DBConnect) !! Impossible to continue !!

.

With MW 1.26.2 (URL : https://my-server.com/mediawiki126/mw-config/index.php) I select the same options and it's working !!

.

So I tried an automatic install via /opt/mediawiki-1.23.15/maintenant/install.php

php install.php --server localhost --dbuser wikiuser --dbpass wikiuserpass --dbname wikidb123 --dbtype pgsql --dbport 5432 --installdbuser wikiuser --installdbpass wikipass --pass (password of which account is it please ?) --scriptpath /mediawiki123 my-server WikiSysop

and to the code, you have type=Pgsq. This value is wrong. You have to use type=postgres instead, then it will at least point to an existing PHP file.

For the error

Class 'Database' not found in /opt/mediawiki-1.23.15/includes/installer/PostgresInstaller.php on line 161

Pages are not linked to categories

Hi, I just just installed mediawiki on an ovh server. Only problem during installation was that cache is no enable.

Now when I put categories in a page, the page is not linked to the category. Here is an exemple: http://arae.kernork.fr/index.php?title=Isae

The categories show up in the bottom, but when clicking on the category page no pages are linked. All categories are shown as unused categories: http://arae.kernork.fr/index.php?title=Sp%C3%A9cial:Cat%C3%A9gories_inutilis%C3%A9es

How to get transparent backgrounds with ImagickExt?

My new web host doesn't allow exec() through PHP, so I have to use ImagickExt instead of ImageMagick. It generates SVG thumbnails just like before, but I don't know how to get transparent backgrounds working. In ImageMagick, I used the following line in LocalSettings.php:

$wgSVGConverters = array_replace($wgSVGConverters, array('ImageMagick' => '$path/convert -background transparent -thumbnail $widthx$height\! $input PNG:$output'));

But the same won't work with ImagickExt. The default value for ImagickExt in $wgSVGConverters is:

array( 'SvgHandler::rasterizeImagickExt' )

Does anyone know how I can change this to make ImagickExt generate thumbnails with transparent background? Thanks! TheAlmightyGuru (talk) 01:49, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

I finally figured how to fix this! The bug occurs because the code to render a PNG thumbnail from an SVG image has a bug. The current code loads the SVG image first, then sets the background to transparent, but it should be in reverse. To fix it, do the following:

Open /wiki/include/media/SvgHandler.php

Go to public static function rasterizeImagickExt

Replace the four lines of code which read this:

$im = new Imagick( $srcPath );

$im->setImageFormat( 'png' );

$im->setBackgroundColor( 'transparent' );

$im->setImageDepth( 8 );

To this:

$im = new Imagick();

$im->setBackgroundColor( 'transparent' );

$im->readImage( $srcPath );

$im->setImageFormat( 'png' );

$im->setImageDepth( 8 ); TheAlmightyGuru (talk) 13:32, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

OOUI error on search

Recently upgraded a WAMP MediaWiki to 1.27.1. When using Search box, searches for terms that do NOT link to articles, that is, using the "Containing..." option where there is no article in the primary namespace that correspond to the search term entered, I get a PHP fatal error.

Fatal error: OOUI\InputWidget cannot use OOUI\FlaggedElement - it is not a trait in (wikiroot directory)\vendor\oojs\oojs-ui\php\widgets\InputWidget.php on line 11

Saw reference to a similar problem here Talk:Page Previews/2016#h-Problem_with_images_and_references-2016-08-28T15:13:00.000Z, but didn't see a solution or workaround. Any suggestions? Search box autocomplete working fine. Selecting a page from the search results dropdown works fine. Only issue I know of is the "containing..." search.

Software stack:

Windows 10 - Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

Troubleshooting log:

1) Restarted Apache web server

2) Checked Apache error.log file, but no errors there.

3) Ran "composer update" on main MediaWiki composer file and restarted Apache again.

Several (10-12) warnings were issued about specific class files, like:

Warning: Ambiguous class resolution, "OOUI\ButtonElement" was found in both "C:\Users\Public\Documents\website\RTWWiki\vendor/oojs/oojs-ui/php/elements\ButtonElement.php" and "C:\Users\Public\Documents\website\RTWWiki\vendor/oojs/oojs-ui/php/mixins\ButtonElement.php", the first will be used.

4) Re-ran maintenance/update script. I had to correct some permission errors on the account the wiki was using to allow it DROP table permissions. Update script could then run these two commands, which it previously erred on:

Dropping table msg_resource_links ...done.

Dropping table msg_resource ...done.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

IowaJason Iowajason (talk) 01:59, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

bawolff on IRC support channel provided a solution. Basic problem is that my upgrade technique was to overlay new version of MW software over old version directory structure, creating duplicate paths. The suggestions was to install into clean directory on file system.

The shortcut I used accomplished to accomplish this goal was:

1) Stop Apache web server

2) Delete "includes" and "vendor" directories (I hypothesize that only "vendor" directory would have been sufficient.)

3) Recopy those 2 directories from distribution tarball.

4) Run "composer update" although I'm advised that such step is unnecessary.

5) Restart Apache

Thank you to bawolff. Iowajason (talk) 02:49, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi there,

I'm not sure if anyone still needs the solution. But I think this error can occur anytime you upgrade an old wiki via composer.

The ambiguous class declaration comes from the files inside the /vendor/oojs/oojs-ui/php/elements folder. It's outdated and seems to not get deleted by the composer while updating. Just delete this folder and rerun the composer update.

This should do it.

Unable to install html2wiki extension

I'm running mediawiki as a TurnKey application and the first thing I'm trying to do after setting the system up is to install this extension. I've followed the guide on the wiki by doing the following:

Installing from git.

Adding the two lines to LocalSettings.php (am I meant to enter these as is or should I be changing some, what does it mean to declare the variable before require_once?).

Installing all the dependencies.

But after that, when I go to the SpecialPages page, I don't see a html2wiki link and when I got to Special:Version, I don't see any mention of html2wiki like the page alluded that I should.

Any ideas? 59.102.56.111 (talk) 08:22, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

According to Extension:Html2Wiki you should add these two lines to the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = true;

require_once "$IP/extensions/Html2Wiki/Html2Wiki.php";

The result of the require_once line should be that the extension gets listed on your Special:Version page in your wiki! 87.123.34.120 (talk) 09:39, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Error with SocialProfile

Visual editor chokes with too many code blocks

I've created a page with some 10 code blocks on it. No problems when I'm creating, saving, or viewing, but when I go back to edit the page the code blocks don't load.

I'm pretty sure loading these up is causing some form of spike in CPU, based on php-fpm or Parsoid. If I see nothing happening on the edit page, and then go back to view, then edit, and repeat a few times it tends to slow the server to a grind where it can't handle requests for several minutes.

Is there a setting somewhere to adjust, or can I dig up logs for anywhere to help? Andeejaym (talk) 22:03, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

How to get data from a specific section in MediaWiki supported wikis

I am parsing a Wikia article and trying to get the data from the right hand side TOC block, I have already got the left one using the following URL

http://hetalia.wikia.com/api.php?action=parse&prop=revisions&prop=sections&page=America&format=json

But don't know the reference about the right one. What will be the parameter?

The original URL is,

http://hetalia.wikia.com/wiki/America Lamiajoyee (talk) 07:43, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

I beg pardon. Actually I meant the summary block on the right hand side (with the image). I need to parse the data inside that panel which is named "toccolours" in HTML.

I am attaching a shot

Lamiajoyee (talk) 10:56, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

The "right hand side TOC block" is apparently a template (http://hetalia.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Character). The API will have to be used in a way to access this template's data on the America page. I personally don't know how to do this, maybe someone else can help. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 13:50, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

There is no data associated with templates that is easily machine readable. You will have to parse the wikitext of the page to manually retrieve the values used with the template. 58.164.112.98 (talk) 01:27, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

MediaWiki does not "abuse" anything. However, I have never heard of that kind of problem. Also the lines which they gave you do not tell much. Especially they do not tell, which job was the problematic one. Maybe your host does not only limit resources, but maybe he also does not really have much of them.

You might want to try updating MediaWiki to a newer version. I know that the runJobs.php script works differently in current verions than it did in older ones. However, it will still need resources.

In the past, I have answered a number of users, who had problems with GoDaddy. But I don't remember anyone, who could not use HostGator. 87.123.36.209 (talk) 14:44, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

--Dec

--Nov

---07

----Possibly other articles

You could create categories like "2016 11" for November and "2016 12" for December. If you use numbers, you also would not have the problem that the categories would be displayed by their alphabetical name, which would be disturbing (April - August - December - February - ...). For the months January til September I would add a leading "0" then like "2017 01".

The different protocol pages can then just be put into the according category. 87.123.41.8 (talk) 08:59, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

"Call to undefined method" is a different error than the permissions issue.

For your error, make sure that the Extension:Scribunto version corresponds to your MediaWiki version. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 22:01, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you.

"Download Mediawiki extension" page (Extension:Scribunto)

No such extension "Scribunto".

Unable to fetch extension list! - it is written.

I suspected that. Because the catalog was inconsistent. I downloaded from here: github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Scribunto .

Can I download the right version? Tofiq Kərimli (talk) 22:09, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes, just make sure to download the version which corresponds to your MediaWiki version. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 05:05, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, Mr. But it is not possible to download from here (Extension:Scribunto). No such extension "Scribunto".

Unable to fetch extension list! - it is written.

Maybe there's a problem with the fresh version? Tofiq Kərimli (talk) 08:13, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

I downloaded it: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Scribunto/tree/REL1_32 Excellent! Problem solved. Thank you for your help. Interestingly, there was no need to change the files. They were changed. Tofiq Kərimli (talk) 10:57, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

I have the same issue, and when I check the permissions of the file, I find

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 apache apache 195508 Aug 22 09:40 lua

Looks to me to be fine (775 in fact).

In version 1.39.0 it worked fine with permissions set to 644...

I guess I'll have to ask the Scribunto maintainers? Techcare.noc (talk) 12:05, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Turns out reading the documentation and setting the correct SELinux context solved it for me...

Extension Lockdown blocks permission to SimpleBatchUpload

I installed the Lockdown extension to block acces for regular users to certain special pages. Everything works fine exept it blocks the uploading of files through the SimpleBatchUpload extension even though I didn't even configured the Lockdown extension to do that. How do I enable it for everyone to upload with the SimpleBatchUpload extension so I can use both extensions without any problems?

I would also like to know if it's possible to block acces to certain normal articles with the Lockdown extension?

Also, I have an other problem that has nothing to do with the Lockdown extension, but it has to do with mediawiki's native $wgGroupPermissions function. I tried disable the createpage permission for regular users and only enable it to certain user groups, but as soon as I did that the regular users weren't able to upload images on my wiki, which I still want them to be able to do that. How am I able to restric the creation of articles for regular users but still allow them to upload images? Innosflew (talk) 13:22, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey. Uploading an image means creating a page for that image, thus uploading and creating share a symbiotic relationship. As far as my knowledge goes, I know no workaround to that except for allowing uploading users to create pages, too. It's not something I am especially thrilled with, either, as I would like to do the exact same thing that you want to, but it is what it is. │Star-Warden│ 08:52, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Lockdown doesn't specify on its page about locking single articles, only namespaces or special pages, but there's an extension (though unmaintained) that does what you want: Extension:PrivatePageProtection │Star-Warden│ 08:56, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Pages with special characters no longer work after switching to SSL

Hello, after switching to SSL, pages with special characters no longer work. The error message is "The page isn’t redirecting properly". This error occurs independent from the browser (tested Firefox and Edge) and independent from used PC. And this error occurs independent from namespace.

The German language wiki is https://inklupedia.de/

You can reproduce the error by opening e.g.

- https://inklupedia.de/wiki/N%c3%bcrnberg

- https://inklupedia.de/wiki/Spezial:Letzte_%c3%84nderungen

Pages without special characters are working as expected. If you need more information to help, please ask or contact me at inklupedia@inklupedia.de

Installed is MediaWiki 1.26.2 and PHP 5.6.27 (cgi-fcgi). More information are available at https://inklupedia.de/wiki/Spezial:Version

Thank you

Frank InkluPedia (talk) 20:01, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

This looks like T131414, fixed in T106793, should land on 1.27.2 when it comes out (I don't know when). 1.26 is becoming obsolete in 2 days so it won't have any fix for that.

That's a strange situation, where it's fixed in master and backported, but nobody is doing a release of 1.27 with all the backports since june... I wonder what are they waiting for doing a new release. You may bring this to mediawiki-l. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 02:13, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

A fix for hosted sites

Was getting a MWException error so added to LocalSettings.php:

# SA added

$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;

Discovered /includes/cache/localisation/LCStoreCDB.php was attempting to write to /tmp when it is not allowed on my hosted account.

Fix was to add to LocalSettings.php:

$wgCacheDirectory="cache";

to put it in an allowed area on disk and

and changed /includes/cache/localisation/LCStoreCDB.php to hard code it to the settings variable:

function __construct( $conf = [] ) {

global $wgCacheDirectory;

if ( isset( $conf['directory'] ) ) {

$this->directory = $conf['directory'];

} else {

$this->directory = $wgCacheDirectory;

}

// Doesn't work on Bluehost, so hard code it ... scott auge

$this->directory = $wgCacheDirectory;

}

Not a member of the coding community here, but someone may want to explore this work around. Scott Auge (talk) 21:18, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Hacking the core files should not be needed - you should be able to fix the problem with configuration variables only.

Does it help, if you do not only set $wgCacheDirectory, but if you also set $wgTmpDirectory to a fitting value? 87.123.4.206 (talk) 08:26, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Extension:Upload Wizard new license

Hi everybody!

I want (and need) to add a new license in the list of 'my own work' licenses. How could I do?

Thanks for your help!

Lorenzo Loman87 (talk) 08:48, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey. You need to go to MediaWiki:Licenses on your own wiki. │Star-Warden│ 08:50, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer!

But adding new licenses in MediaWiki:Licenses just allows me to choose them if I use the default Mediawiki upload manager. Instead I want to select a different license in the UploadWizard extension.

I think I have to edit the Upload Wizard extension files, but I don't where. Loman87 (talk) 09:35, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, overlooked the title. I looked over the extension and found this. I don't know if it's helpful or not. │Star-Warden│ 14:32, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

I meant browse to your Wiki's version of the page, i.e. go to: <your_wiki_URL>/MediaWiki:Accmailtext

On second thought, this might not be related to the email message, but just the notification shown to the admin on resetting the password for a particular user. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 13:38, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Script Error

Is there a way to have Category Pages returned in the search results? Specifically in the Ajax/Suggest search?

We have a lot of category pages with info we want included in the search. Both the search results and the search suggestions. Is there a way to turn this on?

I have tried using $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault[NS_CATEGORY] = true; however ot does not seem to be working.

Thanks,

Maybe Extension:CirrusSearch can help, specifically Help:CirrusSearch#Filters.

I might have misunderstood above, can't what you want to do, be done through the "Advanced" option in "Search results" (e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=abc&fulltext=Search&profile=advanced&searchToken=53bm93cr2zl1cdagtwpqpjgrw) AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 15:52, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

The Search page itself is fine and does return categroy page results but the Suggestions do not. Like when you start typing in the search box and it suggests pages. It never includes category pages. :P. 2601:193:8302:1FA5:B101:D077:ED44:2DE6 (talk) 16:22, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

See if the comments in this section help: Manual talk:$wgEnableMWSuggest#Namespaces in suggestions. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 16:40, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

The suggestions will suggest any page, in that namespace. If you don't specify a namespace, then it is limited to the main namespace. Simply typing "Category:" will start suggesting categories. 121.214.25.146 (talk) 05:14, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes. It's true if you start the search with the word Category it will return the Category pages. I want them included at all times in the Ajaxy Suggestion box when you search. Does any option other then editing the core search javascript code exist? Peteolsen (talk) 13:47, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Raw scary transclusion is turning up the HTML for the login page instead of the thing I want to transclude

I have two wikis, both running MediaWiki. I want to use templates from wiki A on wiki B. To do this, I set up an appropriate entry in the interwiki table on wiki B, and tried using the {{raw:wiki:foo}} syntax.

Instead of getting the template, I got a page covered in the HTML source for the login page on wiki A.

Wiki A was installed with the private wiki option in the installer. The first thing I have tried is to set $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true, but although this setting has indeed taken effect, it has not resolved the problem on wiki B, even after resaving the affected page.

Any ideas about what might be causing the problem, and how to solve it? MadEmperorYuri (talk) 21:53, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Platonides solved this for me on IRC. The problem was the transcache on wiki B, keeping a cache of the login page. Truncating the transcache solve the issue. MadEmperorYuri (talk) 22:18, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Infobox & doc pages display issues

Hello,

2 issues here. Any time I insert an infobox, it aligns to the left, does not have borders, and various other formatting issues. I've verified the Navbar, Navbox, Infobox modules are installed properly in addition to the various templates. I can't figure out what could be causing this.

Additionally, all of my /doc pages are formatted incorrectly as well - no background colors/borders etc. Maybe these are related? Thank you for your help! Stillhouse (talk) 13:04, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

In case you are importing from Wikipedia templates, If I'm not mistaken, /doc pages aren't supposed to have a background colour and borders.

For the infobox issue, you might need to copy the relevant styling code from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 14:05, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Ohne es gesehen zu haben rate ich, dass womöglich die Dateiberechtigungen für den Ordner images/ nicht richtig sind. Der Ordner, alle Unterordner und alle enthaltenen Dateien müssen vom Webserver gelesen und geschrieben werden können! 87.123.61.69 (talk) 21:45, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Hallo, das Wiki ist öffentlich und unter http://stagenine.info/web/gox/index.php?title=Hauptseite zu erreichen.

Die URL für den Fehler ist http://stagenine.info/web/gox/index.php?title=Lichtgestalter, wobei das Bild Datei:ESC2014 - Austria 01 (crop).jpg nach dem hochladen einen weisen bildschirm erzeugt hat. Auch nach dem erneuten hochladen gibt es auch nur ein weise bild.

An den Dateiberechtigungen kann es nicht liegen da schon viele Bilder hochgeladen wurden. Weiterhin ist die Bild Kategorie und die Dateiliste nicht zu erreichen. Stagenine (talk) 23:40, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Der komplett weiße Bildschirm deutet auf einen PHP-Fehler hin. Wir brauchen die zugehörige Fehlermeldung! Unter blank page steht, wie du an die drankommst! 87.123.61.69 (talk) 23:46, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Hallo!

Danke erstmal für die Hinweise... leider ist mein englisch nicht gut. Ich habe, zumindest hoffe ich es wie in blank page steht die Zeilen

<?php

error_reporting( E_ALL );

ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

eingefügt und hochgeladen auf den server (natürlich wahr das <?php schon vorhanden).

Leider wird beim aufrufen der defekten seiten kein code ausgegeben, Ich kläre das gra dnoch ab mit meinen server hoster warum kein code angezeigt wird. Ich gebe soschnell wie möglich Antwort wenn ich ein code angezeigt bekomme.

Wenn nicht würde ich mich über eine Persönliche Hilfe freuen, am besten kurz über mein TS, wen es möglich währe.

Mfg Stagenine (talk) 09:11, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Wenn ich die Seite Lichtgestalter aufrufe, dann wird mir jetzt das Bild angezeigt: Das Vorschaubild in der passenden Größe ist auf dem Server vorhanden und man kann es auch abrufen. Auch das Original ist auf dem Server und auch das kann ich abrufen.

Beim Aufruf der Seite Datei:ESC2014_-_Austria_01_(crop).jpg kommt es aber immer noch zu einem PHP Fehler. Mit

<?php error_reporting( E_ALL ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

ganz oben in LocalSettings.php müsste dir der Fehler angezeigt werden. Ansonsten frag nochmal den Host - der wird eine Möglichkeit haben, dir die Fehlermeldung zu nennen! 87.123.61.69 (talk) 13:09, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

How to...

Backing up an offline only personal wiki?

Hello, I use an offline online personal Mediawiki for my own projects, I wish to upgrade my computer to 64bit Windows OS and I need to back the wiki up so I can access it after the upgrade. What is the simplest way to do this? Thank you 174.28.181.84 (talk) 16:05, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Edit, I mean' to say "I use an offline personal Mediawiki" 174.28.181.84 (talk) 16:09, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

See Backup! 87.123.61.69 (talk) 16:53, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

If I am going to install the new OS on a new SSD and keep my two current hard-drives (including the one where the Wiki is) as data drives so I still need to do anything specific to use the wiki with the new OS? 174.28.166.134 (talk) 00:32, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

The wiki needs a server to be run. The wiki files must be inside the docroot of a webserver (e.g. Apache) and the database files need to be in a MySQL server. Both of these servers need to be running.

It might be possible to continue running the old servers from your old HDD in the new OS, but I guess you might then have to change some configuration variables for these servers to continue working.And the servers will then be installed on the old harddrives obviously, not on the new one. Since you have to adjust the configuration anyway, it might not even be that much more work to just set up a new server directly inside the new OS and to run the wiki from there. That way the wiki will again be inside your OS and no longer outside - just as it has been before. 87.123.26.238 (talk) 04:51, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

OP here.

I think I am accessing the myPHPadmin panel for my wiki. I used the WAMP to install it and I forgot much so I need to be helped like baby lol

Well I am in the myphpadmin and I see the "export" tool but I can't find the file for my wiki? is this weird? should i be able to see the database of my wiki (the infos)? 174.28.166.133 (talk) 02:02, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Enabling Gadgets in MW 1.23.15

Hello, I have installed MW 1.23.15 and it's working but I find hard to enable the Gadgets. However, I put this line in my LocalSettings.php :

require_once "$IP/extensions/Gadgets/Gadgets.php";

I don't know neither if openjdk have to be installed on my server ... I would say no cause it's the browser that works with the scripts and no the server.... Could you confirm ? I use oracle java 8 last version with firefox 50 on my m$ windows and in fact, I don't see any Gadgets tab in the preferences ....

On my wikipedia space, I see the gadgets tab so I wonder maybe it's no neither a problem with my java plugin....

My page https://myserver/mediawiki/index.php/Special:Gadgets is empty but this senstence : Below is a list of special gadgets users can enable on their preferences page ...

Could you help me please ? Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 23:43, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Ok I have created the page https://server/mediawiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition and pasted inside some gadgets. it's working even if I don't really understand how I can separate the gadgets per type...

However I d like to know how we could create this page and the gadgets available without creating the page via the interface .... Is there any script to do that ? Im wondering if we could eventually insert this page directly in base by in which table ??? Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 01:35, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

It should be noted that JavaScript, which gadgets use and is part of the browser, is completely unrelated to Java, which uses a plugin to work in a browser. 58.164.108.250 (talk) 02:19, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

The gadgets are separated manually by editing the MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition page (e.g. see the source code for, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition).

For somewhat automatic setting-up of gadgets you can try exporting/importing gadgets like from, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 05:04, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes I know for JavaScript... Actually yes, it's working without any openjdk, the JavaScript is executed on the client side.

Ahmad, in fact I cannot export anything with Special:Export.... If I try to give the page Special:Export/MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js or any normal page name (even Special:Export/Main Page) and click on Add, the text box below remains empty...

/var/log/apache2/error.log

Ok I succeeded, lol you just have to put the name of the page in the text box, not in the input box (here it's a category name you have to put...). Otherwise, once my gadget pages exported, can I import them through a script in the maintenance folder ? ? Haroun al Mouwahid (talk) 19:40, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

By exporting gadgets I meant just using the "Export" link provided for each gadget at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets. No need to go and use the lesser efficient method of using Special:Export.

Regarding importing them to a maintenance folder, maybe I misunderstood you, but from what I know "gadgets" are basically like other pages on a Wiki. And like any other page on a Wiki, they are stored in the database and not separately in any directory. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:07, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Trouble with table rendering using while-loop and pipe-scape |

I have been stuck trying to get my table to render. I've read a lot, but can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Hopefully , someone spots it immediately and can help me.

I have a #while loop that works except that the |- doesn't render. I am using {{!}}- . I tried {{!-}} but it just looked for a template !-. I created the template and tried adding the standard |- and then {{!}}- but keep getting the exact same results.

The table just keeps rendering horizontally with a dash (-) in the column where it should be giving a new row.

I am using MediaWiki 1.27.1 on Debian with PHP5.5 and MySQL 5.6.32

Template:TableTop {{#vardefine: pvcount | 1 }} {{#vardefine: LastRow | 1 }} {{#while: | Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{". | {{ #vardefine: LastRow | Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{". }} {{ #vardefine: pvcount | Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{". }} }} Template:TableBottom Template:TableEnd

Regular brackets replacing curly braces for the sake of rendering here.

(( TableTop ))

(( #vardefine: pvcount | 1 ))

(( #vardefine: LastRow | 1 ))

(( #while: | (( #ifexpr: (( #var: LastRow )) > 0 | true ))

| (( #if: ((( DimNum (( #var:pvcount )) | )))

Issue with LDAP groups

Hi

My Wiki validates LDAP users with this setting

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

$wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();

$wgLDAPDomainNames = array("domain.com");

$wgLDAPServerNames = array("domain.com"=>"IP");

$wgLDAPPort = array("domain.com" =>"389");

$wgLDAPUseLocal = true;

$wgLDAPEncryptionType = array("domain.com"=>"clear");

$wgLDAPBaseDNs = array("domain.com"=>"dc=domain,dc=com");

$wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array("domain.com"=>"uid");

$wgLDAPUserBaseDNs = array("domain.com"=>"ou=Usuarios,dc=domain,dc=com");

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['autocreateaccount'] = true;

$wgLDAPGroupsPrevail = array("domain.com"=>true);

$wgLDAPUseLDAPGroups = array( "domain.com"=>true );

$wgLDAPGroupNameAttribute = array("domain.com"=>"cn");

$wgLDAPGroupBaseDNs = array('domain.com' => 'ou=Grupos,dc=domain,dc=com');

I have created two groups: wikiusers and wikiadmins

$wgGroupPermissions['wikiusers']['read'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['wikiusers']['edit'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['wikiusers']['createpage'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['wikiusers']['upload'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['wikiadmins']['*'] = true;

These groups are also created in LDAP

When I login with a user belonging to the LDAP group wikiadmins I do not have the Administrator permissions.

Upgrade question from 1.5 to 1.28

Were were running MediaWiki 1.5 on our 2003 windows server and everything worked fine. Last week we rolled out a new 2012 R2 server. We had to upgrade our Wamp to version 2.5 which meant we had to upgrade our PHP to 5.5.12. How should I go about the upgrade? Should I install a new version of 1.28 with new mysql on my new server then copy the localsetting.php over or is there a better method? 23.31.108.65 (talk) 14:30, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

An upgrade guide is available at Upgrade!

Usually it is the best idea to make a backup of both, files and database, and to then upgrade the existing installation, but inside a new folder. Also make sure to follow the information in the RELEASE-NOTES file - they are especially relevant in your case when upgrading a really old installation. 87.123.55.230 (talk) 19:06, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

You still need to update the database (using the files of your new MediaWiki version). Neither mw-update/ nor in the bin folder is where the updater is. By calling mw-update with your browser, you have only opened a wiki page with that name, nothing more. Apart from that it is not clear to me what commands you have run or what exactly you have done. Please follow our update page!

MediaWiki 1.27 (the final release of 1.28 is not out yet) has two possibilities to update the database: One is the web updater in example.com/mw-config/ and the other is running maintenance/update.php from the shell. Both will do the same and using the shell is recommended. 87.123.26.238 (talk) 04:59, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Clarification for GPL clauses when using MediaWiki with a commercial/proprietary product/project.

If I have a proprietary project, that is intended to be distributed commercially, and there is a wiki that is required with it, can I use MediaWiki  for the purpose?

The Wiki portion will be hosted separately and the communication with it from the rest of the project will happen over REST.

Could anyone please help me with understanding the

following passage of GPL-2.0:

"These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it."

Both products are separate with respect to functionality.

Besides, the REST API in MediaWiki, I believe, is there for such communications.

Does making a REST call to MediaWiki makes the calling project fall under the GPL's sphere? Iimraann (talk) 03:52, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

This is a forum for support requests, but not really a place where many laywers specialized in software licenses hang out. :) If you want to receive an interpretation of the GPL license text you will have to contact a lawyer, as any comments in this thread are obviously not legally binding but personal interpretations. Malyacko (talk) 22:31, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for replying Andre. I really need some pointers about being able to use MediaWiki. The statement makes one lawyer interpret it in one way while other, other way. Could you point me to anyone who could give me a 'go/no go' for the use? I need to understand it from the perspective of someone who chose GPL-v2 over less restrictive L-GPL for the licensing purpose of MediaWiki. I'll really appreciate all the help regarding this matter. Iimraann (talk) 14:03, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

GPL 2 was written in 1991. MediaWiki was started in the late 1990es. I don't know why MediaWiki maintainers at that time chose GPL over LGPL - maybe you can find something in ancient email archives though...

Again: The "anyone who could give you a 'go/no go' for the use" is a lawyer, as I cannot point to somebody who is above law. I could both give you a "go" or a "no go", but how does that matter in court when I'm not a lawyer? :) Malyacko (talk) 19:16, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

The authors of the software can choose multiple licensing policies for the same software and can clarify aspects of terms. The authors can clarify like 'Just making calls to REST API of MediaWiki doesn't force you to make the source code of the calling application available'. A lawyer can't do that, the authors of that software can. Could you please help me with it? :) Iimraann (talk) 06:43, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

The question with which licenses GPL2 can be combined is a rather common one. There are many products, which are licensed under GPL2, and so this question arises rather often. There surely will be lawyers who can tell you and who can bindingly tell you.

Without being a lawyer from reading the last note on I would say that -considering only the GPL2- you can use MediaWiki (with the GPL2) and another product, which in turn is using any other license, as long as the two products are separate works. 87.123.21.22 (talk) 19:37, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately I have already done this and I am still getting the error. Vpolius (talk) 15:46, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Then there maybe is not much you can do. You can delete the contents of the cache/ folder, but: This usually only are a few MB and they will automatically be recreated when people view the wiki.

What might take up much space is the content of the images/ folder. You could make space by deleting uploaded images. However, in order to really free the disc space used, you will have to permanently remove them. This can be done with the eraseArchivedFile.php maintenance script. This script allows you to delete a selected image, which had been deleted through the MediaWiki interface before.

The deleteArchivedFiles.php maintenance script will delete all images, which had been deleted through the interface before.

Note that these files, which previously have been deleted and would have been restorable, will then no longer be restorable! 87.123.26.238 (talk) 15:55, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Image Galleries without "File:" Prefix

Hello, I am in the process of moving from Wikia to an independent host. I have imported most of my pages, but noticed a problem. On Wikia, you can create image galleries without the "File:" prefix coming before the image. That does not seem to be supported in default MediaWiki. Is there some javascript or something else I can use to make this work on standard MediaWiki? Or will the "File:" prefixes all have to be inserted manually?

What do you mean "Image galleries"? wargo (talk) 19:46, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

<gallery>

</gallery>

On Wikia, images can be inserted like this, and still display properly:

<gallery>

Pic1.png

Pic2.png

</gallery>

But on standard Mediawiki, the "File:" prefix is required, or they do not display.

<gallery>

File:Pic1.png

File:Pic2.png

</gallery>

I am wondering if there is a workaround to allow the files to display in galleries without the "File:" prefix, as otherwise I will have to manually insert it on every gallery page. Hockeyben (talk) 19:51, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

It is not required on standard installation. wargo (talk) 20:09, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

File extensions aren't required by MW for galleries, for example: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Project:Sandbox&oldid=2298130 58.164.108.250 (talk) 02:50, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

FuzzyBot has broken my page

Hello, I have spend some time translating manually Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual/ru to Russian, it was not complete but something had been done. And then FuzzyBot came and ruined everything. Translation tool is cool but the original is far from complete support of it, and however I wanted complete sections to be moved to the new interface automatically. HALP!

Retrieving lost data after MW Zip closed

Hello, I'm part of a group that had a wiki hosted by MW Zip, which closed down unexpectedly a few weeks ago. We don't have a backup of our data, and haven't been able to contact anyone from MW Zip for help. Anyone have suggestions for how we might be able to access our data, or contact whoever was running MW Zip? Any help appreciated, thanks! 108.30.56.174 (talk) 18:33, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Maybe archived in Web Archive? wargo (talk) 18:53, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion Wargo, but that doesn't seem to be working, I think because it wasn't a publicly accessible wiki.

Any other ideas?? Does anyone have any info on who was running MW Zip or how we might contact them? Or has anyone had similar experiences losing and retrieving wiki data in the past? 108.30.56.174 (talk) 16:25, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Maybe try sending a message to their twitter account. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 17:05, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Ahmad for the suggestion. We've been trying that for the past couple of weeks, without luck so far. 108.30.56.174 (talk) 18:54, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Database error during searching

I get the following error whenever I try and search using the search function on the left hand side.

"

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "SearchMySQL::searchInternal". Database returned error "145: Table './callcenter/searchindex' is marked as crashed and should be repaired (localhost)".

"

I am not sure where to start looking to troubleshoot this issue. Unfortunately our wiki is on an internal company only network and is inaccessible from outside the network.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

This error can be solved without lossing anything:

Currently, the searchindex table is crashed and MySQL will not allow you to do anything with until before it got repaired. So in your database, run a REPAIR statement on the table searchindex:

REPAIR TABLE searchindex;

Enable upload to two different location?

Hi there,

I have been trying to find out if this is possible. Currently, users upload their files (jpg, pdf, etc) into the mediawiki and it goes to the following location:

http://mywiki/images/9/9c/ThisIsFile.pdf

1. Is it possible to separate the upload of pdf so it goes to a different directory such as: http://mywiki/files/9/9c/ThisIsFile.pdf
2. is it possible to upload files of pdf so it goes to a different server location? The reason this is requested is so that for future purposes, all the pdf that is located in this other server, mediawiki might be able to scrape all the words that does text searching in this other server. It would also help to lessen the typical traffic on the mediawiki server where people would just like to view pages only.

I have look at different support such as this, doesn't seem like there are replies. Anybody? Help would be much appreciated!

The mobile content uses https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend Malyacko (talk) 19:21, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

The content is the same, the styling is different. 58.164.108.250 (talk) 06:37, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

NO,the content of mobile is less than the desk. Yelvti (talk) 06:44, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

I remember reading somewhere, about some sections which are by design not shown in mobile view. This is probably done by using divs.

Additionally, some resource modules in extensions also do not get loaded in mobile view (see: Extension:MobileFrontend#For Extension Developers). AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 06:53, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

1% Biker Culture

I wish to create a page for the '1% Biker Culture' and I am having a hard time understanding the how-to and why-fors on how to open a 'New Page'.

Perhaps you would be able to guide me in the appropriate direction.

Slideshow

I upgraded to MW 1.28 and was eager to test out the new slideshow feature for galleries. It works great, but it seems I can't change the default px size of the images inside the gallery, no matter what I tried. I tried using

<gallery mode="slideshow" widths=50px>
Filename.png|caption
Filename2.jpg|caption
</gallery>

I also made use of $wgGalleryOptions, but to no avail. It seems galleries, while in slideshow mode, can't have the size of their images changed. Is this intended or am I doing something wrong?

These are my default gallery options inside localsettings.php
