Always getting logged out

Hi,

I sign in to my MediaWiki installation using the Extension:OAuth2 Client. Which seems to work fine...

However, I keep getting logged out every hour or two, and then I need to log in again.

Any ideas why this could be happening?

Thanks. BubbaUsesWiki (talk) 06:05, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Have you tried checking $wgSessionCacheType in LocalSettings.pho and setting it to CACHE_DB ? TiltedCerebellum (talk) 19:23, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

The $wgSessionCacheType does not seem to be listed in my LocalSettings.php file.

These are all the rows that contain the word "cache"

## Shared memory settings

$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE;

$wgMemCachedServers = [];

## Speed

$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ANYTHING;

$wgCacheDirectory = "$IP/cache";

$wgUseLocalMessageCache = true;

$wgShowIPinHeader = false;

$wgUseGzip = true;

$wgEnableSidebarCache = true;

$wgJobRunRate = 1;

$wgHitcounterUpdateFreq = 100;

// $wgObjectCacheSessionExpiry = 10;

$wgCacheEpoch = max( $wgCacheEpoch, gmdate( 'YmdHis', @filemtime( __FILE__ ) ) );

$wgInvalidateCacheOnLocalSettingsChange = true;

I noticed that $wgMainCacheType is listed twice, though it appears in that order.... BubbaUsesWiki (talk) 00:47, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

You can add:

$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;

Per this: Manual:How to debug/Login problems and/or go through that resource regarding your login issues. Adding that line fixed my login issues because it now saves login session information in the database. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 20:14, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I would like to translate an extension.

I would like to translate an extension. Unfortunately I don't know what I have to do after I have inserted the translation, so that it is displayed.

For example. I am on the page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cargo/de

Then I click on Translate.

Now I can translate each block. and when I have translated it, what happens then.

How does the translation go online? HandrikF (talk) 07:06, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

If your language is set to german it should be live automatically when you visit special:mylanguage/Extension:Cargo

To clarify though, this is translating the documentation. There is a different process for the extension itself. Bawolff (talk) 10:03, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello,

thank you for the answer.

I would like to ask for an example:

On the page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cargo/Storing_data/de

Stands the following:

"This page is a translated version of the page Extension:Cargo/Storing data and the translation is 100% complete.

But the page is not completely translated?

how is that possible?

Below the table it continues in English. HandrikF (talk) 10:23, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

someone needs to add translate tags to those parts of the table on the base page. Bawolff (talk) 05:43, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Redirected templates in Visual Editor

Say I have a template {{a}} that redirects to {{b}}.

In Visual Editor, I can find both {{a}} and {{b}} when inserting a template.

Is there an option to only show {{b}} and not {{a}}? Leranjun (talk) 11:14, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Usually there is no need to have another template in a template. You can set everything in one template?

I think there aren't options to choose while editing a page via VisualEditor Fokebox (talk) 17:54, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

When you said "another template in a template" did you mean redirect? Leranjun (talk) 07:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I'm not aware of a way to selectively hide templates in visual editor, though for us, you can add a Template Data description that says "do not use, use template:b instead". Since it shows the first line of a description.

A use cause for this would be, when an old template, without a descriptive name, was used for brevity like "i" for an icon template. VE search can't search by template description currently, so if a user types "icon", template "i" will not show up, which is not at all ideal. Search is useless in this case, because it doesn't really search, it only does exact or partial matching. So, to make things easier for users, an "icon" template may then be created calling The "i" template. Then at least when users search for an "icon" template, they're going to find something somewhat intuitive. Since old templates may be used on thousands of pages, it's not really feasible to switch them all for some wikis, though AWB could be used to replace all instances, it's still a bit of work.

I have added a feature request that both VE and Template Data extensions can search through template descriptions so that VE search functions as most of us expect it to... but it was stated that new feature requests aren't a priority. At current, VE template search can't really search, people still have to know the names of templates or templates have to have long and descriptive names in order to be searched and used, which sort of defeats the purpose of having a search in the first place. :( TiltedCerebellum (talk) 19:57, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

OK, I realised my descriptions might be a bit confusing.

So here is my source code for the page Template:A :

#REDIRECT [[Template:B]]

It is not transclusion, just redirect.

And in the page Template:B I have the actual code of the template.

What I'm trying to achieve is to hide {{a}} from the search results in VE, and only show {{b}}. Is that possible? Leranjun (talk) 07:34, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Need to categorize content by Tags or similar

Hello,

My organization is needing to know how to properly configure our core business content so that it can be queried predictably via the Search function.

We have about 20 groups of documents that would be categorized distinctly, and then we have other subsets of documents that would be categorized distinctly across those 20 groups.

Example: We may have 10 groups of documents pertaining to each of our 10 departments. And then we would also want to just search for Process docs across all 10 departments to easily pull all procedures up. Just an example. I am assuming this will involve Tags, but I am finding no useful help/guidance in how to implement. Thanks much! 173.175.255.102 (talk) 21:53, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Timeless skin - How to change mobile screen queries?!

Hello, I'm a day 1 user of Mediawiki 1.31.10 & Timeless skin - in which file can I change the mobile screen size queries, or what it is used here, - to change the site transformations for mobiles at different screen sizes, not the default?! 95.68.25.5 (talk) 22:31, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

This isn't meant to be configurable. Its defined in Timeless/skin.json, however it is strongly discouraged to make modifications to MediaWiki source code. Bawolff (talk) 06:14, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Timeless skin - How to configure Right Column?!

How to Configure Right Column?! - How to edit what links appear there?! How to add another block with an image or menu in Right Column?! How to disable Right Column (when not by code)?! 95.68.25.5 (talk) 01:05, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Generally the right column is not meant to be configured, however it is possible via CSS or JS. See ResourceLoader/Core_modules#addPortletLink, Manual:CSS and Manual:Interface/JavaScript Bawolff (talk) 06:07, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I upgraded to 1.35 from 1.31.4. Using the Timeless skin, the title bar's right column seems to be disabled. I click on the down-arrow next to "Anonymous" and nothing happens. This worked in 1.31.4.

I can not get to the login screen from the title bar any longer. Hpyjoy (talk) 20:33, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

After upgrade to 1.35.0, get "cannot access database" error (no backtrace)

Upgraded to 1.35.0 from 1.24.something. PHP is version 7.4.3, MySQL is Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.31.

The upgrade process took a bit of doing, but the web updater eventually ran fine, and I have the output from the database update saved if that will help.

I don't see any errors in my web server error log. The URL to the wiki is http://thegaminggrunts.com/wiki/.

Thanks! 2001:4998:EFFD:7F06:0:0:0:10F0 (talk) 02:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Can you verify that mysql is up and running (For example, you can access it via command line mysql or phpmyadmin, and fetch some data from the wikidatabase [Doesn't matter what, just anything to make sure its running]).

If you upgraded versions of php, make sure you have php-mysql installed (However if you didn't the upgrade wouldn't work).

Also check php error logs for any errors. Bawolff (talk) 06:03, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Bawolff, yes, I can access tables and see data in the wiki db via phpMyAdmin. My site is hosted through Dreamhost, so I don't directly know whether php-mysql is installed, but as you say, if it's not, then the upgrade would have probably failed.

I'll look for a specific PHP error log.... 209.131.57.64 (talk) 17:03, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I set up a PHP error log and I can see that errors are being delivered to it (by a test script). However, I don't see any errors when I try accessing the wiki.

I'm also still not seeing any errors in the web server log (but I see the attempts in the access log).

Are there any other logs I should be looking at? 70.36.176.161 (talk) 21:56, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

if you are on dreamhost shared hosting than its a pretty good bet you have appropriate php-mysql installed.

Double check $wgDBserver is set correctly. Beyond that im not sure. Bawolff (talk) 04:33, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I got a backtrace to show up (added $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; to LocalSettings.php).

Before & Post Upgrade I can't hide categories.

Despite using __HIDDENCAT__ I've had no luck hiding categories. The weird thing is, in previews it's hidden but whether I'm logged in or not it shows up anyway. Any help is appreciated.

It's automatically created with DPL, the category is here. Kleissis (talk) 05:34, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I think the Oasis skin is just broken with respect to hidden categories. That's a wikia/fandom customization so you'll have to contact fandom support channels.

You can see that it works fine when using builtin MediaWiki stuff. For example its listed as hidden in the api output, https://tales-of-the-rays.fandom.com/api.php?action=query&prop=categories&titles=2000_Years_of_Hidden_Thoughts&clprop=hidden and it also shows as hidden when using the no skins exist skin https://tales-of-the-rays.fandom.com/wiki/2000_Years_of_Hidden_Thoughts?useskin=fallback Bawolff (talk) 05:56, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Still getting Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 500) errors when enabling visual editor in mediawiki 1.35 version

Title says it all. Does it matter if I'm on a shared hosting at this point? I thought version 1.35 would fix this and you wouldn't need a parsoid setup.

// Optional: Set VisualEditor as the default for anonymous users

// otherwise they will have to switch to VE

Our wiki is hosted on a Dreamhost Shared Hosting. Checking over my Apache2 error log on this, it appears their ModSecurity rules are too strict, and is triggering on various brackets, parenthesis etc as an "HTTP Request Smuggling Attack". Contacting Dreamhost support, they use: OWASP ModSecurity Project as their rule set. If you disable "Extra Web Security" this turns off ModSecurity and the error went away.

So I ran a clean install on the same server w/ a new mysqyl database and latest stable wikimedia. The new installation gave me the same error on Visual Editor, so it's not the installation, it's the server.

Looking at the source, most of the page is not marked for translation. Nikerabbit (talk) 19:31, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Now I got the answer from the programmer.

Oh, I get it - you want to translate the extension's *documentation*. For that to be done, I (or someone else) would need to add <translate> tags all over the Cargo documentation pages - just as exist on many other pages on mediawiki.org. Some of Cargo's pages, like the main one, have many <translate> tags in them - and others have a few, as you've seen. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to add <translate> tags - I don't know what ID to use for each one, or what size text I should break up the page into. Until now, all the tagging on my documentation pages has been done by other people. If you think you understand the system, feel free to add more <translate> tags yourself - it would definitely help with translation.

unfortunately I still do not know how to insert or delete these tags  Does anyone know more? HandrikF (talk) 07:21, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_example should help. Nikerabbit (talk) 15:39, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

I have looked at the description, but have not understood anything.  

As I understood it, the software (the translator) adds the markers. And I cannot change the markers.

That I can add the tags <translate></translate> is clear to me. In some sentences the markers are there, but still the software does not offer this for translation.

And the second question is: For what are these markers  ?

I cannot add them myself.

An example at this very problem/page would be the right one. HandrikF (talk) 17:57, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

The guidance is for translation admins (who have final say on the tags), not for translators. Nikerabbit (talk) 14:32, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

file a bug at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org being sure to tag it as mediawiki-extensions-oathauth and sqlite. Bawolff (talk) 04:29, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

The schema was not written for SQLite, it was probably just hoped it would work with MySQL syntax, so it's not surprising it doesn't, giving the many limitations of SQLite on ALTER command.

ALTER TABLE /*_*/ oathauth_users

ADD module VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL,

ADD data BLOB NULL;

The first ADD command specifies a NOT NULL constraint but there's no default value. In SQLite, a non-NULL default is necessary when a NOT NULL constraint is specified. – Ammarpad (talk) 05:31, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Reported at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T264492 Bawolff (talk) 09:32, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

It looks like it's fixed?

Could someone give me an instruction on how to apply the patch? 216.180.88.29 (talk) 09:14, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

just download a new version from Special:ExtensionDistributor

(If you really want to know how to apply patches see https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/patch.1.html but easier to just get a new copy of extension) Bawolff (talk) 08:02, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Custom wiki group membership, permissions automatically disappear

two search questions

1. can I get transclusions to be expanded in search results?
2. can I somehow specify what text is displayed in the result? For example, I have a summary on a page that would be a good thing to show rather than whatever is near the search term. 68.110.86.107 (talk) 03:24, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

for 1, try extension:CirrusSearch

For 2, yes but you may need to make your own search extension (or at least your own frontend part of 1) Bawolff (talk) 04:27, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

I've got that installed, but I'm not advanced enough to seemingly get it to work. It seems to be expanding the templates, but not the transclusions. Do you know of any documentation that can help point me in the right direction for #2? 68.110.86.107 (talk) 05:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

any idea why I would get the message "elasticsearch not up" I can't really find any info on it 68.110.86.107 (talk) 05:32, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Templates and transclusions are the same thing, so I'm not sure what you mean.

> "elasticsearch not up"

Presumably means that elastic search is down (i.e. The elastic search process is not running). Other possibilities might be if the elastic search process is not accessible from the webserver for some reason.

> Do you know of any documentation that can help point me in the right direction for #2?

You would need to know a decent amount of PHP to do this. Manual:Hooks and Manual:Hooks/SpecialSearchResults are probably good starting places as far as MediaWiki specific documentation goes, but the main thing is you would need to know PHP programming. Bawolff (talk) 09:27, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

It looks like this is going to require a subscription which is to much for my small hobby site. do you know of any free alternatives that might improve the mediawiki search engine? 68.110.86.107 (talk) 16:05, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

elastic search is free (with a somewhat complex setup). There are companies that offer paid subscriptions to elasticsearch, but what you are paying for is for them to set it up for you (and manage it), not elasticsearch itself. Bawolff (talk) 05:49, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

hi tehre, first time useing wiki, i have been and i wrote all the work straight into wiki, i have lost about 5 hours of my time, where i was writing off the top of my head to create a band page.

i will happily take down anything i need to, to become unblocked or to get my writing back. very frustrated and upset that all my hard work is just gone and i cant access it 124.168.88.216 (talk) 06:20, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

What's the name of the page and which wiki (e.g. is it english Wikipedia or some other website?) are we talking about?

Often in situations like these, if you ask politely, they will provide you with the contents of the page, but I would need to know which page and which wiki project, in order to know where to direct you.

MediaWiki 1.35 and VisualEditor - HTTP Error 403

I'm attempting to deploy MediaWiki 1.35 on Namecheap shared hosting, I was under the impression that the merge of Parsoid into the MediaWiki core would allow this so I apologise if I have misinterpreted.

I have decompressed the tarball into my site folder and installed it using MySQL and largely default installation options to try get something up and running. My plan is to have two sites so that I may familiarise myself with MediaWiki on one, test things out and fine tune prior to deploying to the actual site; one private, one authenticated edits only.

I have reinstalled the software several times now, including deleting the database used to ensure it's not culprit and I am still no closer to figuring out how to correctly setup Visual Editor. I am constantly met with the error "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 403)" and I cannot figure out for the life of me what is causing it.

I have attempted to invoke "/rest.php/{domain}/v3/page/wikitext/Main Page" substituting my domain in which works as expected. I have tried to enable cookie forwarding with no luck. I have tried explicitly declaring the Parsoid instance. I have tried manually loading the Parsoid extension from vendor/wikimedia/parsoid/extension.json, I'm running out of things to try.

I would have thought that the software would work out of the box, but I read up on it anyway to make myself aware of any "gotchas" and I am still struggling to understand the root cause of the issue, any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. Were you able to solve this? It seems like a bunch of people have complained about this at least at Extension talk:VisualEditor and phab:T263928, but no one really confirmed that the issue/bug exists. Rehman 11:13, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

I am putting this out more widely as an answer to this issue as I had a LOT of trouble resolving it. Basically, on some (cPanel) hosted sites the Parsoid/RESTBase Server API communications are blocked by several (PHP) ModSecurity rules. My host does not allow you to disable ModSecurity using .htaccess so I had to contact my hosting tech support and get them to whitelist rules for my wiki one or two at a time, while generating new ModSecurity rule errors by attempting to edit using VisualEditor, until we had found all the rules which were resulting in this error.

NB: At some point during this process a few pages might start working - not throwing a 403 - but then test a few more pages as they might still trigger ModSecurity. Nghtchld (talk) 05:48, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

I had the same problem with a very popular web hosting provider (the one similar to a crocodile). At first, it looked like @Nghtchld's suggestions were the root. There were ModSecurity issues for sure - their logs confirmed this. However, modification of the rules didn't solve the issue. It turns out that for some reason, the visual editor can call resources from other than the local hosting server. Since I didn't have allow statements specifically permitting those, they were all denied. The hosting service added all the IPs that could possibly be used for this to my .htaccess (there were over 60), and now it works just fine.

It took A LOT of badgering to get them to fix this. They kept telling me my .htaccess wasn't granting permission to my own client. It was super frustrating. But it was all worth it. I like working with markup code, but when it comes to just pounding out some text content, the visual editor is much better. 130.219.10.28 (talk) 20:51, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

I've been struggling with the "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 403)" error for months (currently on 1.37.1). We disabled ModSecurity and still the issue persisted. And today I finally found the solution. It is probably quite unique to our setup, but maybe this will help someone someday. I realised that we had a Wordpress site at our root domain with Wordfence security enabled in the .user.ini file doing this (stars replace true folder names):

 ; Wordfence WAF

auto_prepend_file = '/***/***/***/wordfence-waf.php'

 ; END Wordfence WAF

So in the mediawiki .htaccess I added this to switch this off for the mediawiki subdomain:

#Disable Wordfence from higher level domain

php_value auto_prepend_file none

And the problem disappeared. I did not expect the Wordfence at the root domain to affect the subdomains but it clearly did. Ryansbudza (talk) 10:27, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

This seems to be related to Rename ipb_address index on ipb_address to ipb_address_unique. I think you can use the information on this SO answer to rename the index by hand and then do the upgrade. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 22:41, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

134.34.200.62 (talk) 07:48, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

ipb_sitewide was added in 1.32, but there is a patch for it, which hasn't been run either seeminly Reedy (talk) 15:35, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Also, ipb_address_unique clearly exists on your schema. And it looks up to date

Does the sql user you're running the change as have permission to drop indexes? Reedy (talk) 15:38, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

The sql user is root while mysql runs on a docker container, thus it should have permission to drop indexes. As well the error doesn't mention any permissions problem.

Actually the issue can be reproduced on the command line:

mysql> ALTER TABLE /*_*/ipblocks DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique, ADD UNIQUE INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique (ipb_address(255), ipb_user, ipb_auto );

ERROR 1091 (42000): Can't DROP 'ipb_address_unique'; check that column/key exists 134.34.200.62 (talk) 18:49, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

But it definitely exists...

If you do it as two commands (ala the SQLite patch), does it work? I'm wondering if it's getting confused with the add and remove in the same line

What version of MySQL/MariaDB are you using? Might be related to that... Works on some, doesn't on other versions

You're using the root user in MW config to connect to MySQL? Reedy (talk) 20:22, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

No, it doesn't work due to a syntax error:

mysql> DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique;

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

The MySQL version is 5.7.31 and yes, I am using the root user to connect to MySQL, for example:

# mysql -uroot -p 134.34.200.62 (talk) 20:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

It fails also by using the correct syntax:

mysql> DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique ON /*_*/ipblocks;

ERROR 1091 (42000): Can't DROP 'ipb_address_unique'; check that column/key exists 134.34.200.62 (talk) 20:51, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

No it wouldn't, because that's not valid syntax.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/drop-index.html

DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique ON /*_*/ipblocks;

or

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/alter-table.html

ALTER TABLE /*_*/ipblocks DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique;

Reedy (talk) 20:52, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

see the previous reply pls... 134.34.200.62 (talk) 20:54, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Both are failing with the same error:

mysql> DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique ON /*_*/ipblocks;

ERROR 1091 (42000): Can't DROP 'ipb_address_unique'; check that column/key exists

mysql> ALTER TABLE /*_*/ipblocks DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique;

ERROR 1091 (42000): Can't DROP 'ipb_address_unique'; check that column/key exists 134.34.200.62 (talk) 20:56, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

But the index exists. It is there in your original output.

And the queries all work fine for me... "10.4.14-MariaDB-1:10.4.14+maria~focal-log"

No index ipb_address_unique exists in MW 1.31.

Long story short, the following workaround worked(!) by replacing the content of the sql patch with:

# cat /var/www/html/maintenance/archives/patch-ipblocks-fix-ipb_address_unique.sql

DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address ON /*_*/ipblocks;

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX /*i*/ipb_address_unique ON /*_*/ipblocks (ipb_address(255), ipb_user, ipb_auto);

The variant with ALTER TABLE /*_*/ipblocks DROP INDEX /*i*/ipb_address is always failing (due to the Mysql version?) 134.34.200.62 (talk) 12:24, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

If the split version works fine, we should probably just swap to that. It's easier all around... Reedy (talk) 14:55, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Oh. It's not the split that's the problem. It's the fact the patch is trying to drop the wrong index.

Sigh. Should've been more obvious Reedy (talk) 15:18, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

I'm getting myself confused now.

Your split version isn't the same.

The updater for patch-ipblocks-rename-ipb_address.sql should've renamed the index, and given it the incorrect signature.

Then patch-ipblocks-fix-ipb_address_unique.sql should've been run (as it is) to correct the signature. But at that point, the ipb_address index shouldn't still exist, it should already be ipb_address_unique.

However, I just noticed "...skipping update to shared table ipblocks.". Which will explain why the first patch isn't being applied. Reedy (talk) 15:30, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Right. So it's because the updater returns the same result for whether the table is shared, or if the index exists. This is wrong.

From 1.15.5-2squeeze5 to 1.35.0

Can I still migrate my configs and database from old 1.15.5 to 1.35.0?

Please help. Ethwald (talk) 02:21, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

yes. It should just work with normal upgrade process. If you run into issues, ask. Bawolff (talk) 03:09, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

There's a lot of Directories in V1.35.0 in /var/lib/mediawiki.

If I'll rsync the files from V1.15.5 /var/lib/mediawiki to V1.35.0 /var/lib/mediawiki, will there be any issue? Ethwald (talk) 04:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Do not copy old files from the old installation to the new one, unless they are configuration files or the uploaded images. See Manual:Upgrading#Other_files Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 08:51, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Note, that some configs in Localsetting file should be set up in other way. I advice to swithch off all extensions and set up them one by one. It might be so, that some extensions that you use in 1.15 are not supported in 1.35. Anyway it should not be very challanging. Fokebox (talk) 10:41, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the replies. I'll try it now and ask for further help if need be. Ethwald (talk) 23:30, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Is exporting/importing the database from old mediawiki to new mediawiki and copying the images directory enough to migrate all the data? Ethwald (talk) 10:14, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Please read this carefully: Manual:Upgrading

1) Make a back up of your website (files and mysql) You can request it by your hosting

2) Upload new files of MW (keep your images files)

3) Run update.php via ssh

4) Set up all extensions. Fokebox (talk) 13:04, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Debug log file getting too big

My debug log file is getting way to big. Today I noticed the timestamp was yesterday morning and the size 2147483719 (I think this is exactly 2 GB?).

Two questions:

Am I correct logging has stopped because the file became too large?

Can I limit the size by logging less details?

Thanks a lot!

Regards, Jethro Waanders (talk) 14:43, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

If you don't need the debug log, it is safe to just turn off debug logging and erase the file. Generally, if you are not looking for any problem in particular, you should not have the debug log on. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 15:07, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

it maybe depends on file system and things, but 2gb is biggest signed 32bit int, so probably.

You should probably not have debugging on just generally, but if you do need it look into something like logrotate to automatically rotate the files Bawolff (talk) 20:27, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Account Registration Problems

Hi all, I'm getting reports from quite a number of users that they are really struggling to set up their accounts. I have manually set up at least 3 accounts for people and not faced the issue so I'd entirely beleive it was user error but the fact many unlreated people describe the exact same error makes me think otherwise. They will fill out the registration form and be send an email with a confirmation code. As soon as the link comes through they click it to be told the confirmation code has expired already (almost instantly after its sent) but somehow if they close that tab and login as normal it works fine. The second issue is that when confirming the email people are reporting they are not receiving the email at all. Checking the mail logs on the server and it's sending perfectly fine but it's just not coming through. That one could be down to the mail provider but I've never known many providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook etc to take hours to deliver an email like this.

Any ideas foilk?

Thanks RobHowdle (talk) 12:53, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Diagnosing mail problems is tricky, but if the emails are taking too long, it may be that resending the email will provide them with an un-expired link since the first one may have been delayed by greylisting. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 17:43, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

"Error Saving Draft" with the Drafts extension on Mediawiki 1.35

I put the drafts extension in the extensions folder and added wfLoadExtension( 'Drafts' );. I also added these in localSettings.php:

$egDraftsAutoSaveWait = 120;

$egDraftsAutoSaveTimeout = 10;

$egDraftsAutoSaveInputBased = false;

$egDraftsLifeSpan = 30;

$egDraftsCleanRatio = 1000;

whenever I make a change and click "Save Draft," it says "Error Saving Draft." How do I fix this? YousufSSyed (talk) 05:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Extension:Drafts is unmaintained. You should look for alternative. – Ammarpad (talk) 13:58, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Do you know any alternatives? YousufSSyed (talk) 19:48, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

No, I don't. – Ammarpad (talk) 06:38, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

I also ran into an error with this unmaintained "Drafts" plugin with MediaWiki 1.35. Looking at the HTTP request flow with Chrome Developer tools, the error was a "badinteger" error for the "section" value when it called api.php. According to the Drafts plugin, the section value can be an integer or null.

Mediawiki 1.35 introduces Parameter Validation. It cannot handle null values for integers. I think this might be a bug but I'm not sure.

To work around the bug, you can edit the integer parameter validation. In "./includes/libs/ParamValidator/TypeDef/IntegerDef.php", look for this line:

if ( !preg_match( '/^[+-]?\d+$/D', $value ) ) {

and change the it to:

if ( !preg_match( '/^[+-]?\d*$/D', $value ) ) {

Then it will be able to handle values like null. This let me save Drafts with the plugin.

My suggestion is a workaround, not a fix, since values like "+" or "-" can also be accepted. A better workaround or fix would handle that case.

I think that Parameter Validation should be able to accept empty values but that is just my opinion. Jahoti (talk) 02:36, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

I worked around this issue in commit 28f48e343e675fc887ea2fe59025de7ce7d19208; see also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273703. I've tested Drafts on 1.35 and it seems to be working as expected. Jack Phoenix _(Contact) 20:12, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

I haven't tried this extension but I see this in the installation instructions:

If you want so use SVG (recommended) and the version of your MediaWiki is 1.26 or newer, you need to add the namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml to $validNamespacesin includes/upload/UploadBase.php. See Requirements for more information on why this is currently needed.

Did you do that? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 22:42, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

@MarkAHershberger thanks for your reply. Yeah I did do that part. I think I checked at all the requirements too. UGOBOSS777 (talk) 00:52, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

have you checked the write permissions on the directories where the files (png or svgs) are uploaded to? Maybe the process running the wiki is not allowed to write the uploaded images and thus fails there (in case you run apache you can check the logs there and see if you see some php errors there).

Donation link on sidebar not working

I'm having an issue with the donation link on the sidebar (usually on the left side of a wiki page). I downloaded and installed every extension available (including the 'master' version) and entered the code into my localsettings.php. The word "donate" comes up on my sidebar but cannot be clicked and shows as grey (as opposed to blue like usual links).

i've deleted it. Thanks for the info! You wouldn't happen to know which extension wikipedia uses by any chance? Thepainking (talk) 17:25, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Are you using a service like that offers a page to link to for donations, or the code to embed a donate button on a website? If not please ignore my comment.

You can create a sidebar link to your service's donation page in MediaWiki:Sidebar, adding the following works fine for me and looks pretty much exactly like the en.wikipedia.org donate link, unless I'm misunderstanding where you are looking and what you're after (quite possible):

** https://yoururl.com|Donate

Then can use your browser's web inspector to find the name of it's unique css selector, then style in via Common.css if a button or some other look is desired for it.

You can also use a hook to put the stuff before the sidebar, Manual:Hooks/SidebarBeforeOutput. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 01:27, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Windows cannot deal with files from MW1.35 archive ending with a dot

Hi,

I am running a MW1.35 installation on a linux server. Before doing any changes on this live server I am trying out first on my windows machine using xampp.. That worked fine untill now.. Windows cannot copy files to the linux server nor another location on my local windows machine because several files end with an dot (.). Windows cannot deal with files ending with a dot.

Can these files please be renamed in 1.35.1 version? it is quite annoying. See just some examples below from folder \extensions\VisualEditor\lib\ve\lib\oojs-ui

Thank you Malyacko, but how much load does 256 MB of RAM takes, I mean how many users can use that website at a time? Ramu ummadishetty (talk) 15:00, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

it depends on a lot of factors, what type of caching is setup, what extensions are installed, if the server is also running other services (e.g. your db or your memcached), how "at the same time" do you mean by at the same time, etc.

I would suggest experimenting and seeing. Bawolff (talk) 19:49, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

From my own tests, only 256MB is not going to be enough for a wiki of any size. As the installation requirements say:

..this will not suffice for a busy public site or a site with uploading enabled.

A decent modern wiki with the various services that it needs should really have at least 1GB of ram and probably 4GBs. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 20:10, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Unable to setup mediawiki on MYSQL 5.8.8 with Bin Logging enabled

I am attempting to setup MediaWiki 1.35.0. I am using PHP 7.4.4 and MySQL 5.8.8. The database has bin logging enabled. So when I go through the setup process I get an error message "MySQL 5.5.8 or later is required. You have 5.5.8-log." Is there any way to circumvent this, add -log as part of the check, or strip the -log from the MySQL version being reported? 107.213.5.207 (talk) 16:09, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Unable to restore images from backup

I have an old mediawiki which I am trying to update, which has a TONNE of extensions, and seems quite a complex set up (multiple different languages, a "commons" wiki etc").

I have five different sql dumps, but I only want to, for now, focus on the english version. "central.sql", "commons.sql" and "en.sql"

In order to get it working I created a blank wiki using the version it currently runs on, and restored a database dump.

For this to work I had to restore the "central" sql dump over the one of the language one - in this case english. This has given me the pages, layout and text of the wiki.

I am trying to restore the images but it is not working - I have copy and pastes the images into the image directory, in their original fire structure but am getting no file exists by that name

Anyone able to help at all?. 82.27.57.77 (talk) 17:25, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

mixing backups from different wikis won't give you a working wiki.

Images are probably from the commons wiki. Images are tracked on database tables (see image table and related), so only putting them in the filesystem won't make them appear on MediaWiki.

Restoring the image, oldimage and filearchive tables from commons may work, but this may conflict with any existing local image Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:37, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

can you post the LocalSettings.php (with passwords removed)?

It sounds like you're using the stock LocalSettings.php that comes with mediawiki after running the installer for the new version. I would reccomend against that (if your goal is to eventually set things up as before). I would reccomend restoring all the sql dumps into appropriately named db's, put the old LocalSettings.php into the mediawiki directory, and run update.php. (you might have to run that separately for each db. For shared dbs you might have to run db updates manually) Bawolff (talk) 19:46, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Flow error after upgrade to MW-1.35.0

So I'm currently wrapping up my upgrade to MW-1.35.0 but I can't resolve this Flow error.

Flow seems fine on every page on my wiki EXCEPT the Main_page, which was the ONLY page that had actual comments on the talk page.

The error says: /w2/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page Flow\Exception\UnknownWorkflowIdException from line 127 of /home/username/mysite.com/w2/extensions/Flow/includes/WorkflowLoaderFactory.php: The requested workflow does not exist on this wiki.

Here is the backtrace:

I already tried running update.php and composer update --no-dev to no avail.

I set both my upgraded wiki (mysite.com/w2) and my backup wiki (mysite.com/w) to use the home/user/tmp folder for the temp directory ($wgTmpDirectory) — could that be related at all...? Maybe I need to assign them to different folders?

Here's my plugin settings for reference:

# Flow + Echo + Thanks Settings
wfLoadExtension( 'Echo' );
wfLoadExtension( 'Flow' );
wfLoadExtension( 'Thanks' );
$wgNamespaceContentModels[NS_TALK] = 'flow-board';
$wgNamespaceContentModels[NS_USER_TALK] = 'flow-board';
$wgGroupPermissions['administrator']['flow-create-board'] = true;
$wgTmpDirectory = '/home/username/tmp/'; // Required to get Flow extension working

Any ideas?

Well I wasn't able to figure out what caused that so I just followed the Old Remnants instructions here: Extension:StructuredDiscussions#Old Remnants

I was able to delete the entire discussion page and recreate it.

But I'm still having issues with StructuredDiscussions.

Clicking on any comment to edit, delete, or even permalink to it sends me to an "Undefined" page (mysite.com/w/undefined).

Any ideas on how to resolve these issues with Flow / StructuredDiscussions?

I'll leave the ticket open in case anyone has an idea of what to try.

I don't use Memcached, only CACHE_ACCEL (APCu), so I also wonder if that has anything to do with it. Knomanii (talk) 23:13, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I figured out the cause of the issue and it was me. ;-)

I had created a custom common.js script for a .mw-ui-button button, which was affecting ALL buttons, including those on StructuredDiscussions/Flow.

I found the problematic rule in Event Listeners, then adjusted it in Common.js.

Now Flow is working fine. Sorry to bother everyone. Knomanii (talk) 01:26, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

I moved my wiki 1.34 to another hosting and when I deployed the database all messages in Structured Discussions disappeared, but when I tried to create a new discussion everything works fine, how can I get my messages back while the old wiki is still running where all the messages are still there?

Such a message on all pages where messages were left in the discussions:

As is often the case with MW, you need to dive in the code to figure out what is wrong.

In WorkflowLoaderFactory.php:

if ( $workflow->getWiki() !== wfWikiID() ) {
throw new UnknownWorkflowIdException( 'The requested workflow does not exist on this wiki.' );
}

A worklow stores it's associated wiki in database and it was likely identified by $wgDBName. If during migration $wgDBName changed, it will throw this error.

To fix it, you need to restore your previous database name in LocalSettings.php. Tinss (talk) 00:20, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm new to Semantic Mediawiki and need help

On a given page, I want to have multiple property values of the same property, have dates associated with each property value, so on another page, I can query all the property values, sorted by date.

I did lots of google searching and reading on Semantic Mediawiki and had trouble getting close to this. What I tried include two property values, on two different pages:

• [[Property::Property value]][[Property::Property value2]]
• [[Property::Property value]]

this inline query:

{{#ask: [[Property::+]] | ?property |format=ul }}

and this is the output:

• Test Page 1 (Population: Property value, Property value2)
• Test Page 2 (Population: Property value)

Is there a way to show different values for the same property in two bullet points or table cells (I prefer bullet points but I'm open to tables), and include dates for each property value so I could sort them in a query?

If you don't have ideas to build on what I got, then what kind of markup would I include on pages to annotate pieces of text with a label and date, and then query all the text with that label, sorted by date, on Semantic Mediawiki? So far this is very confusing.

I'm on Mediawiki version 1.35, PHP 7.4.10, MariaDB 10.4.14, and Semantic Mediawiki 3.2.0. YousufSSyed (talk) 08:01, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

I think there are two possible solutions to this if you want to accumulate all properties on one single page.

The first is to store properties as Records. But as records internally use Subobjects I think it would be more appropiate to use those directly.

An example could look like the following:

{{#subobject:
 |Property value=value
 |Property date=date
 |...
}}

You'd need to add a subobject for each different data / date combination. Octfx (talk) 12:32, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

This could work, but how I can display text with each subobject on the page with the subobject? YousufSSyed (talk) 14:28, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Then to print out the subobjects one would insert this code on the same page:

{{#ask:
 [[-Has subobject::{{FULLPAGENAME}}]] 
 |?property1
 |?property2
}}

Documentation is found here: https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subobjects_and_queries :) Octfx (talk) 14:33, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Is there a way to display a property value in wikitext in a query? Like can I make == Heading ==, appear as an actual heading in a query? By the way, When I try [[Property::~*Value*]] in a query, It doesn't return property values containing the phrase, do you know what could be done? YousufSSyed (talk) 15:21, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

How to use DataTables in MediaWiki 1.34

Hi,

I need help with using Datatables in Mediawiki.

I have inserted the below code in the LocalSettings.php file

$wgResourceModules['DataTables'] = array(

'scripts' => array( '/extensions/DataTables/media/js/jquery.js','/extensions/DataTables/media/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js'),

'styles' => array( '/extensions/DataTables/media/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css'),

// could e.g. add dependencies on core modules here

);

// ...and set up a hook to add it to every page

function addDataTablesScript( &$out ) {

$out->addModules( 'DataTables' );

return true;

}

$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'addDataTablesScript';

and In common.js file

$( document ).ready(function() {

$('.wikitable').DataTable();

});

Its throwing below error in console..

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'mData' of undefined

I have searched about this error, it saying it occured because of missing thead tag.

But in wikieditor there is option to insert <thead> tag, Tried with raw html table also, its not working.

Please help me on this, If anyone know how resolve this issue..

Thanks,

PDF Problems after 1.35 Upgrade

I have been using the PDFEmbed extension to display pdf files in my wiki. This stopped working when I upgraded to 1.35.

I then decided to try PDFHandler instead, but this only seems to work for pdf files uploaded after the switch. To make this work, it seems I would have to upload over 250 pdfs again.

Should PDFHandler work on pdfs uploaded in the past?

If not, is there a way to bulk upload my old pdfs?

Is it possible to get PDFEmbed to work in 1.35?

Yes.

Do you need the console output of update.php? 93.254.133.111 (talk) 12:33, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

searchindex table is somehow missing indicies (this index goes back to beginning of mediawiki so not an update issue). So i guess something went wrong during install.

You could try manually adding it (look in maintenance/tables.sql for definition) or try reinstalling mediawiki. Bawolff (talk) 20:27, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

There are so many CREATE INDEX commands in the tables.sql, i'm having a hard time to identify the right ones.

Could you help me out? 93.254.133.111 (talk) 09:20, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Issue Logging In

Visual Editor on a password protected site

Warning:

Using the method prescribed below will leave your wiki open to access from unauthenticated users, by merely setting the User-Agent on their request. It would be inadvisable to use this method on a wiki exposed to the public internet. See the discussion below.

Solved using the following:

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent VisualEditor-MediaWiki/* visualeditor
<Directory /var/www/>
    AuthUserFile /var/www/files/.htpasswd
    AuthName "Restricted Access"
    AuthType Basic
    Require local
    Require env visualeditor
    Require valid-user
</Directory>

Hello, for the testing version of my site, I would like to have the site password protected (its under a sub-domain).

The way I was trying to do this was through .htaccess, now when I do that I get a 401 from Parsoid Visual Editor.

From the following: User:Andrujhon/Allow Parsoid Server I was assuming that to fix it all I needed to do was whitelist localhost. So I tried moving the authentication to my apache2 config with the following (https://stackoverflow.com/a/27209938/14435944):

<Directory /var/www/>
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Please enter your username and password"
   AuthUserFile /var/www/files/.htpasswd
   <RequireAny>
      Require ip 127.0.0.1
      Require ip ::1
      Require ip local
      Require valid-user
   </RequireAny>
</Directory>

But it is still blocking my parsoid (deleting the password protection makes parsoid/visual editor works correctly, to be clear).

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or any better suggestion as to having a testing sub-domain password protected?

Thank you

Eddie Eddie K Smith (talk) 21:00, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Also tried the following:

<Directory /var/www/>
   <If "%{REMOTE_ADDR} != '127.0.0.1'">
       AuthType Basic
       AuthName "Development Environment"
       AuthUserFile /var/www/files/.htpasswd
       require valid-user
   </If>
</Directory>

Which looks very similar to User:Andrujhon's solution. Just that it is done in apache conf instead of LocalSettings.php. Eddie K Smith (talk) 23:58, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

I can confirm that SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent VisualEditor-MediaWiki/* visualeditor "resolves" the problem, in the sense that Visual Editor works again for an Apache-hosted wiki using AuthType Basic. However, it also allows anyone to access to your wiki if they merely set User-Agent: VisualEditor-MediaWiki/something on their request.

To demonstrate this:

curl -ILH 'User-Agent: VisualEditor-MediaWiki/foo' https://url.for.your/wiki

This effectively defeats your site's password protection, so it's inadvisable to do this for a wiki where any kind of access from untrusted users is possible, and especially for a wiki on the public InterWebs.

I wish I had better news, but I don't, yet. I'm confronted with two equally unpalatable options: not use VisualEditor, or switch to a private wiki instead of HTTP auth, leaving more parts of MediaWiki exposed to the public internet. --Ernstkm (talk) 11:06, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

While rev_deleted (or log_deleted or ar_deleted or rc_deleted, for that matter) could theoretically be equal to 8, having it equal to 8 is pointless and should never actually occur, right?

If you ever find a live edit (or log entry or deleted edit) with rev_deleted (or log_deleted or ar_deleted) equal to 8 on any wiki, rev_deleted (or log_deleted or ar_deleted) and rc_deleted (for recent edits or log entries) should both be changed to 0. GTrang (talk) 15:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Why shouldn't it be equal to 8? Why do you think it should be 0? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 20:06, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

8 is indeed an invalid value Bawolff (talk) 00:18, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Why? I'm confused. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 03:13, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

If rev_deleted were to equal 8 (DELETED_RESTRICTED), then the text, edit summary, and editor's username or IP address would all still be visible to everyone. That clearly makes rev_deleted = 8 pointless. GTrang (talk) 15:23, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 03:01, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

While rev_deleted (or log_deleted or ar_deleted or rc_deleted, for that matter) could theoretically be equal to 8...

How?. It would be easier to make informed comment if you explain how that could happen. Or better open a phabricator task to explain the issue clearly if you think there's actionable bug. – Ammarpad (talk) 04:10, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

hmm. Well maybe if you set everything restricted, and then uncheck all the restrictions, you might be left with 8.

I dont think having an 8 there would cause any problems. Bawolff (talk) 23:25, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

How to have my IP unblocked?

My project is using the Wiki API to search for images and my server IP 198.27.68.164 has been blocked. I modified my code to reduce the number of requests and include the maxlag parameter. Where can I request to have my IP unblocked?

Thank you! Jpg666 (talk) 18:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

You should probably read the IP block exemption page on Commons to find that information. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 19:57, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Collapsible Nested Lists

I'm trying to created an unordered list that is collapsible. The list has multiple levels. So, for example:

List Title (show/hide)

• Level 1a

• • Level 2a

• • Level 2b

• • • Level 3a

• • Level 2c

• Level 1b

I want to be able to click on the List Title and have it collapse the whole list. I was using something like this:

<ul class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-collapsetext="List Title (hide)" data-expandtext="List Title (show)">

<li>Level 1a</li>

<ul>

<li>Level 2a</li>

<li>Level 2b</li>

<ul>

<li>Level 3a</li>

</ul>

<li>Level 2c</li>

</ul>

<li>Level 1b</li>

</ul>

However, it only collapses the first level. Is it possible to collapse the whole list and, if so, what am I missing? SweeBill (talk) 19:04, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Would something like this be of any help?

Where are you putting this? In the sidebar? Or elsewhere?

For sidebar I'd use: Extension:DynamicSidebar or if Vector is in use Extension:CollapsibleVector

For lists based on categories and/or pages I use: Extension:CategoryTree

For other stuff, collapsible elements the provided resources or Manual:Collapsible elements should work... folks here can't troubleshoot without having a link, seeing your code in use, being able to use the web inspector/console on the page, knowing your MW version etc. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 18:00, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

So, technically, I'm trying to use it everywhere (sidebar and body of the wiki). While I didn't get exactly what I wanted, here is where I was able to get it to work:

I'm using MW 1.35.0. I can't seem to figure out Dynamic Sidebar though, I tried it and never got it working so I just abandoned the idea. SweeBill (talk) 01:01, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

This is a guess:

Disable this: Extension:MobileFrontend

Put # in front of the line of text that starts with this word: MobileFrontend in your LocalSettings.php
