185.5.60.134: /* You need to enable JavaScript to vote */

Hey dude with the funny nickname :) I think your [[Extension:IM Status]] is quite interesting, and to give it some more exposure, and to support more i18n, I just added it to the MediaWiki SVN. I also made a few minor patches, most significant I think is delaying the message loading. If you are serious about MediaWiki hacking, I would also recommend that you request commit access to the MediaWiki svn repo, by sending a short mail with a request to brion at wikimedia dot org, accompanied by a public key you can use with your subversion client. Cheers! [[User:Siebrand|Siebrand]] 20:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

==Installation difficulties==
Hello, I'm new to the wiki stuff and I have problems to install your extension:RatingBar...
I followed the install instructions but somehow it still doesn't want to work.
 The php_error.log is saying:

:Looks like a permission problem. But on Windows (Windows Server I suppose?) I don't really know how to fix this. You need to make sure that all files in ''extensions/RatingBar/'' can be read (and maybe executed too) by the user that runs your HTTP server and PHP. [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 12:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

::Yes, it is a Windows Server... actually I first try new extensions on my laptop (just XP) before adding them to the Server (WinServer2008). I managed to install the Extension ArticleComments but when I try to install any Rating Extension I get the same error. Maybe it has to do with scriptfiles or something else, since ArticleComment ist rather "easy" (Some extensions can conflict with maintenance scripts, for example if they directly access $_SERVER (not recommended). http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions Since alot of people dont seem to have a problem it is obviously my fault :( or everyone uses Linux... In XP you cant do chmod 0777 or whatever. Is there some way to give the LocalSettings.php the permission to access the file?

==Extension:RatingBar Error==
Hi,
 First let me thank you for making the RatingBar extension for MediaWiki, it seems like a great extension.
Unfortunately I'm experiencing a problem with it after I've followed the instructions and installed it. After I've added the RatingBar code to a page, whenever someone (either logged in or not logged in) clicks on it to submit a rating, the page displays the following error message:

'''Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /"path to my directory"/extensions/RatingBar/doqueries.php on line 76'''

The code in Line 76 of the file doqueries.php as referred to in the error message is: 
''if( !$too_many_votes_with_ip && $action_id=="vote" && ( $uid>0 or $unique_check=='ip' or ( $line3 = mysql_fetch_array($query3) ) ))''

Do you know what could be causing this error and how it could be fixed?

Thank you very much for your reply and help, I appreciate it.
 Sincerely, 
--[[User:Jonem|Jonem]] 10:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
:The warning when the user is not logged in is caused by a little mistake in the extension code, for this you need to change your PHP configuration (set "display_errors" to Off), until we find a fix. If you can't change your PHP configuration, you can try to replace "mysql_fetch_array($query3)" with "@mysql_fetch_array($query3)". The warning when the user is logged in is probably caused by a problem with your session name, $site_name isn't handled properly by version 1.0-rc1 of the extension. You may want to check [http://www.wiki4games.com/index.php?title=Wiki4Games_talk:RatingBar#Problem... this] out, or post a link to a page on your wiki with the rating bar so I can figure out your session name cookie. [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 11:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the fast reply.
I tried to replace "mysql_fetch_array($query3)" with "@mysql_fetch_array($query3)", this caused the error message to disappear but also made the voting function to not work (nothing happened when logged in user or not logged in user tried to vote).
The strange thing is that even though I'm logged in, the same message as "you must login or register to vote" is displayed.
I don't think the error would be caused by an error in the session name, since the name of the site is just one word.
 Here is a link to a page on my recently installed wiki with the rating bar:
 
'''http://www.nicer.info/wiki/index.php?title=Testing'''
 
Thanks once again for your help, I'm very grateful.
 
Sincerely, 
--[[User:Jonem|Jonem]] 13:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

:In config.php, I think you should set:
<pre>$table_prefix = 'nic2'; // Copy value from $wgDBprefix
$site_name = 'capiorse'; // Copy value from $wgSitename?? (not sure about this!)</pre>
:These parameters are needed for the extension to be able to compute your session cookie name (which in your case is capiorse_nic2_session). No session cookie name = can't read the session = can't get the user name = the user can't vote ;) [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 14:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 
Thanks once again for the quick reply and help. 
When first installing Mediawiki I hadn't set a prefix for the database, I now did a clean install of MediaWiki in order to set a prefix which could be entered for the extension. Unfortunately the solution wasn't that simple and I'm still receiving the same error message as before without the vote being recorded, even though I'm trying to vote as an logged in user.
I have made sure that I have entered the prefix (nc_) as specified in the $wgDBprefix setting from LocalSettings.php and the site name (Nicer) the same as $wgSitename setting from LocalSettings.php. When making the SQL query I've also changed the 'wg_ratingbar' to 'nc_ratingbar'.
 If it would help you to find the error by testing my site, I have a user with the login as:
 Username: Test
 Password: test1
 The url to a page with the rating bar: http://www.nicer.info/wiki/index.php?title=Testing
 
As far as I understand something is stopping the vote from being recorded in the Mysql database, but more than that is above my understanding :)
 
I'm very thankful for your help as to what could be causing the error.
 Sincerely, 
--[[User:Jonem|Jonem]] 21:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
:Ok, apparently, $site_name shouldn't be the same as $wgSitename... but I don't know what settings it matches then. Basically, your session ID cookie is now called "capiorse_nic2_nc__session". If your prefix is "nc_" then $site_name should be set as "capiorse_nic2", and I'd be very interested to know which LocalSettings parameter this matches. I'm sorry for misinterpreting your previous session ID cookie, I thought you had a prefix because of the underscore, the extension can work without a prefix otherwise (it actually currently has a bug in this case, but it will be working in next version). [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 05:57, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 
It worked now, thank you! 
$site_name matches $wgDBname in Localsettings.php , so $site_name in the config.php of RatingBar extension should have the same value as entered for $wgDBname in Localsettings.php which in my case was capiorse_nic2 exactly as you said.
 
In order to avoid the Mysql error message for not logged in users, I've made changes as you specified before: 
"mysql_fetch_array($query3)" to "@mysql_fetch_array($query3)" on line 76 of doqueries.php

Also there's two similar error messages for a logged in user, and to get rid of them I've made a similar change as above: 
”mysql_fetch_array($query2)” to “@mysql_fetch_array($query2)” on line 131 of doqueries.ph.
 And: 
”mysql_fetch_array($query3)” to “@mysql_fetch_array($query3)” on line 133 of doqueries.php
 
I'm not that experienced in PHP code and I don't know what placing a @ in front of these lines actually does. Could you explain to me what this does? Do you think these changes could cause any performance issues for the RatingBar extension later on?
(otherwise, it might be a good idea to add these changes to the installation instructions for the RatingBar extension, or even directly to the code of the download package, so future users of the extension wouldn't have those Mysql errors).
 
And at last a suggestion; in future versions of the RatingBar extension, do you think it would be possible to make a feature where an admin could see how a username or IP adress have voted? (if not possible in the extension already will say ;)
 
Thanks once again for all the help, I'm tremendously grateful!
 Sincerely,
--[[User:Jonem|Jonem]] 12:40, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks a lot for catching the $site_name<=>$wgDBname match, I'll be able to fix the doc now :) The warnings you are reporting have been dealt with in the current dev version. Placing a @ before calling a function simply disables error reporting for the function, so no performance issue, it's just as if you configured PHP with display_errors=Off ;) It's already possible to see the votes made by a user with <nowiki><w4g_ratinglist user="name of the user"/></nowiki>, but it's not limited to admin ATM (it's disabled by default, and can be enabled for everyone). We'll improve that later. For the moment, you can use something like phpMyAdmin to see the votes by IP or by user ID if you really need to (not really a comfortable solution, but is ''usable'' for occasional use) [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 15:05, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 Thanks once again for a lightning fast reply and all the help. 
I'm very happy to have been of some help (although minor) of matching the $site_name to the term in the localsettings :)
 
Thanks for explaining what the @ does to the functions and I'm looking forward to the release of the next version currently in dev.
 
I tried the <nowiki><w4g_ratinglist user="name of the user"/></nowiki> and it works great, but is it possible to also display the votes made by not logged in users. Will say, votes not only by username but also by IP with a similar copy and paste code as above?
(I tried looking for votes in phpMyAdmin and in the nc_ratingbar table, but I didn't quite manage to understand it :)
 
I played around a little with the script and the settings in it's config.php file and I might have encountered a minor bug (or it's something with my own settings again). But when changing the $unique_check on line 48 of config.php to "both", votes made by users not logged in can't be recorded. When a not logged in user votes it just displays "You voted %" , without showing how many percent and the vote isn't recorded at all. Strangely enough, votes by logged in users are recorded and works with the option set to "both". 
Changing the setting to "ip" in config.php, makes it work also for not logged in users, but then a logged in user isn't tied to an IP address by the extension and one person could first vote as a logged in user and then log out and vote again as a not logged in user from the same computer. Having the setting as "ip" also allows one person to create multiple users on the same computer and making multiple votes, which I understand wouldn't be possible with the option "both", since the person then would have to get a new IP address for every username in order to vote from the same computer.
Is this the same for you that the option "both" isn't working correctly, or have I managed to mess up the configuration on my part somehow? ;)
 
Thanks once again for all the help, I can't thank you enough!
 Sincerely, --[[User:Jonem|Jonem]] 12:12, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:The problem with $unique_check is that we implemented it without describing precisely how it should behave at first. The value "user" should mean one vote per registered user I think, and I'm really not sure of what the other values are precisely supposed to do (Franck did this part)... yet what you describe about the "both" behavior not displaying voted % is clearly buggy.
:<nowiki><w4g_ratinglist user="name of the user"/></nowiki> doesn't work with IP yet, it's on the to do list for later :) As for the phpMyAdmin reading, "page_id" is the name of the page for which the vote is recorded, "ip" is the IP of the person who voted, and "rating" is the rating they casted (0 to 100). So a query like "SELECT * FROM 'nc_ratingbar' WHERE 'ip' = '127.0.0.1'" will list all votes by IP 127.0.0.1. [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 14:02, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 Thanks again for the swift reply.
 By following your explanation I've managed to query the database through phpMyAdmin for all votes of a certain IP, thank you very much.
 Regarding the minor bug with the "both" settings in the config.php file, do you think I could alert Franck of this by writing on his discussion page?
 Thanks once again for the help. I've thanked you so many times now that the word "thanks" has nearly become superfluous :) but I'm really grateful for your help, it was a long time since I received such wonderful help.
 Sincerely,
 Jonas
:You're welcome :) To make it up for my buggy software, I try to at least help solve the bugs ;) I e-mailed Franck a link to this thread, so no need to post on his talk page about it [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 16:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for e-mailing Franck! --[[User:Jonem|Jonem]] 10:38, 21 April 2009 (UTC) 
::Hi Jonas, thanks for reporting this bug when $unique_check='both'. I did a few changes in doqueries.php (see http://www.wiki4games.com/index.php?title=Wiki4Games:RatingBar/doqueries.php), hopefully it's solved now :) Cheers [[User:Franck Dernoncourt|Franck Dernoncourt]] 18:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Franck, thank you very much for the fast response and fix to the problem. The changes you made solved the "you voted %" problem, thank you!
 There was just a slight error in the code: on line 133, 141 and 143 of doqueries.php. Which was caused by the ' sign in didn't , I changed these lines to "You did not vote on this yet" and it worked splendidly!
 Although I might have caught another bug in the voting mechanism. It seems that when the setting in doqueries is set to "both" , it displays that a vote has been made by a not logged in user with the same IP when a logged in user is at the same voting page, and it says that "you voted before logging in". But if the logged in user tries to vote again, the vote is recorded and the number of votes are increased by one. Somehow the script recognizes that it's a user with the same IP, but doesn't stop that same IP from placing a new vote if it goes by a new username than which placed the vote before. Does the same thing happen for you when testing it?
 Thanks again, I appreciate your help very much.
 Sincerely, --[[User:Jonem|Jonem]] 10:38, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:For the errors on line 133/141/143 it's because you copy/pasted MediaWiki's output instead of the source: in the source the ' are defined as their xhtml code (eg &#39;), in the output they display like string containers thus create errors. As for the other "both" behavior problem, I'm not sure, but maybe this is related to the max number of votes per IP. But as I said earlier, the specification for this $unique_check still needs to be defined accurately before we can say whether the extension behaves as specified or not... [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 11:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

First let me thank you once again for a quick and helpful reply. 
Thanks for clearing up the ' sign issue. Then it wasn't an error in code but my own ignorance which was the problem :) I will download the source next time instead of doing a simple copy and paste. 
I will play around a little with the max number of votes per IP and see if it fixes the "both" behavior problem, otherwise I'll just wait for the next release :)
 Please don't hesitate to let me know if you would need a Beta tester prior to releasing the next version of RatingBar, I would be more than happy to help in any way I can.
 Thanks once more! Sincerely, --[[User:Jonem|Jonem]] 09:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello.
I have some problems with W4G RatingBar extension.
After installing it, creating tables and importing contents of other wiki it works in a strange way: after editing page with the ratingbar it is replaced with "You need to enable JavaScript to vote". In preview it works as it should. If I somehow change LocalSettings.php (even comments), ratingbar works normally just before next edit. In Opera I can detect three errors:

"Uncaught ReferenceError: updatebox is not defined"

"Uncaught ReferenceError: loadbox is not defined"

"Uncaught ReferenceError: W4GRB is not defined"

Extension talk:W4G Rating Bar

2015-11-04T04:03:16Z

185.5.60.134: /* You need to enable JavaScript to vote */

== Have Rating column appear first ==

When displaying top lists is there any way to have the rating column display first?

==If using WYSIWYG Extension, editing a page with Rating List screws up the code==

<w4grb_ratinglist toppages category="PS2 Games"/>

If I want to display a list of ratings as above then when using FCKEditor or WYSIWYG Extension and I edit the page, the table code gets screwed up like this:

{| class="w4g_rb-ratinglist-table sortable"
|+ Pages with the highest average rating in category PS2 Games (showing up to 10 pages)
|-
! Page
! Rating
! Vote count
|-
| [[/index.php?title=Forza_2|Forza 2]]
| 67%
| 1
|}

Your old extension Rating_Bar did not have that problem. At the moment I have to include the code from a template to prevent this problem but that's annoying. Is there any way to fix this problem or is there any way I can use some sort of special tag to prevent the editor from screwing up the code?

== Bug in read-only mode ==

Mediawiki 0.16: When in read-only mode, going to a page with a rating bar will print out a whole HTML page of Special:Lockdb [http://imgur.com/zmjud.png screenshot] (some content removed)

The <html>...</html> is returned from the AJAX query. I see you have some code in SpecialW4GRB_body.php for handling read-only requests, so presume it works in earlier versions of MW. Possibly an issue with MW AJAX requests in read-only mode?

As a '''very''' cheap and incomplete workaround I've replaced w4g_rb.php:617

<code>if(!$wgW4GRB_Settings['ajax-fresh-data']) $output .='</code>

with

<code>if(!wfReadOnly() && $wgW4GRB_Settings['ajax-fresh-data']) $output .='</code>

:Nicely spotted, thanks. Fixed in next version. [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 17:29, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

== Bug (w/ workaround): rating bar does not show when a page is created ==

If you create a page and put a rating bar in it, it will not show up the first time.

This is caused by:
if(!$page_obj->setFullPageName($fullpagename)) {
return array(''.wfMsg('w4g_rb-no_page_with_this_name',$fullpagename).'', 'noparse' => true, 'isHTML' => true);
}

in function W4GrbShowRatingBar (w4g_rb.php).

Only happens when you put a rating bar in while creating a page, doesn't happen when editing an existing page.

Workaround:

In w4g_rb.php, add a line at the start of function W4GrbShowRatingBar with the text "$parser->disableCache();" [[User:Bcoughlan|Bcoughlan]] 00:57, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

:Yup, the problem with this solution is that it will disable the cache on all pages which use the extension. I guess I could make it an option, though, until I find better... [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 23:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
::I think the problem has to do with the page not existing when the bar is generated. Perhaps it's possible to disable the cache only if the page doesn't exist?

:::Yeah, I guessed it was more of a decompression problem ;). We even used LZMA2 so maybe old 7-Zip versions don't like it (not sure though, as it seems my old IZarc can deal with them). Anyway, the star style is, as mentioned in ''"Features removed compared to the previous version"'', not available in this extension. We had to focus on one single style to put everything in place and make sure an unlimited number of bars can work together on a same page. The stars are not scheduled to come back yet. The first priorities are fixing the bugs we might still find, and then improve the current bar layout (I got some ideas but couldn't implement them yet). When all that is done and solidly tested, maybe we'll be introducing back some of the removed features. This choice of simplicity over features was made to reduce code complexity and chances of bugs: no more big features until we're sure we have a very stable version to rely on, which is what we really lacked with the previous Rating Bar 1.1.

:* you can't make a commercial service that revolves essentially around the code

==Star style rating==
Hi there.

Why was the star rating style removed? It was what my users want! Now I can't move to this newer version. Which is a real shame as I like the look of the new security. I would have thought Star ratings were far more common that percentages.

Thanks
[[User:mitchelln|mitchelln]] 15:41, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:Hi, the star style was removed because it was a real pain to get it working along with the other style (among other things, the crazy MediaWiki parser didn't help - it's indeed the cause of the last big bug of 2.0-rc1, reported a bit higher by Daviddoria). With the tiny development time I had, a choice had to be made, and naturally I chose what I use on Wiki4Games. Of course, this choice has its downsides, but at least now the code is crystal clear (kind of ^^) while the old one was a total mess.

== Multiple votes for different items on one page? ==

Hi, Does this extension support voting for different items on the one page?

I know about the max-bars-per-page setting - but I assume that is just displaying the same vote widget multiple times on the one page?

I want something that allows you to set multiple questions for one wiki page. ie A poll which counts votes for different aspects of the page subject.

Can this extenstion do that?

PS if not, can you make it do it as a paid job?

:* if you want to rate different aspects of the same page, I suggest you have a look at what Subfader posted above: [[Article feedback]]

:Hi, I agree that's a bit extreme, but the last time I published a GPL extension it ended up on MW's SVN with the link in the credits removed... ''Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me'' (plus I eventually found out MW doesn't really have a [http://bouml.free.fr/ clean record] on respecting authors' wishes as long as the license doesn't clearly impose them), so I thought now I'll pick a license which does protect attribution properly, with an extra lock. It doesn't prevent you from submitting patches to me, but it prevents them from popping up in forks here and there. [http://www.simplemachines.org/about/license.php SMF]-ish ^^ [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 08:33, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

::Did you talk to anybody about this? Extensions in SVN should include attribution regardless of what license is being used (and, in general, [[Talk:Commit_access_requests#What_to_do_when_someone_else_commits_your_extension_and_you_don.27t_have_write_access.3F|people should avoid committing extensions without contacting the author]]).

:::Well, seeing how all other extensions in SVN seem to have no credit link pointing elsewhere than to MediaWiki, I just assumed this was standard policy to edit links for extensions in SVN... I was told when the extension had been placed in SVN, though, but didn't check the changes immediately. So when I noticed like a year later that the link was gone, I thought it wasn't worth the trouble and that I'd just be more careful with my future license choices.
:::The link to BOUML was just to give an example of the kind of [[commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Bouml_titre.jpg|license drama]] which I ''really'' don't want to have to deal with. I stumbled upon it after the fire (just looking for an UML editor ^^), read a bit about it, and came to just a simple conclusion: if the license allows it, then there's always a possibility that Wikipedia/MediaWiki will do it. Even though I like the GPL, I have to admit that I find it highly unclear on attribution (among other things). If I had more time and money, surely I'd consider reading it several times with some lawyers in order to be able to both use it and protect the work I do, but unfortunately I don't. The CC-BY-NC-ND, on the other hand, is crystal clear... Less time spent on the law, more time spent on the code :) [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 20:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
::::As an aside, the BOUML issue is an issue the author is having with Wikimedia Commons, which is kind of separate from MediaWiki. (MediaWiki is the software, Wikimedia Commons is a website that happens to use the software. Both are supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, and their userbase has a lot of overlap, but at the end of the day they are separate projects). Furthermore, it seems kind of irrelevant to the situation at hand (The commons admins are arguing the logo is ok to keep because its too simple to be copyrighted. That argument applies no matter if the logo is GPL, cc-by-sa-nc-nd, or all rights reserved. Your extension on the other hand is obviously a creative work, so such an argument would not apply). However, with that said you should of course chose whatever license you feel comfortable with. As you say people will use whatever permissions you give them, so you should only give them the permissions you're comfortable with. Note: All extensions on SVN should have attribution. Normally this is done by a comment at the top of the php files, as well as code in [[manual:$wgExtensionCredits|$wgExtensionCredits]] to make it show up on special:version. If someone is committing an extension by someone else, usually they will also mention the author in the commit message. Removing attribution to the respective authors in an extension would be something that is considered extremely serious. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] 21:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

== Using this outside of a wiki ==

OK, weird (maybe stupid) question, but humor me:

The story is, I've been working on a website that I've realized is not actually suited for a wiki, and shouldn't run under MediaWiki at all.

However, I love this rating bar, and I've invested a fair amount of time into creating/tweaking images and the Javascript to my particular needs, and I really don't want to throw the baby (Rating Bar) out with the bathwater (MW).

As someone who is close to novice when it comes to PHP, I haven't figured it out yet, but is it even possible to tweak or rewrite the code somehow such that this extension can be decoupled from, and run independently of, MediaWiki?

== Move Article will W4G follow? ==

When I move a page to a new page name W4G Rating Bar does not follow. If the page previously had votes I have to go into the database and change the database entry to the new name. Is there a way to do this automatically? --TrailWIKI.us 20:01, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

== Oasis skin ==
It seems that the extension can't work with the ''Oasis skin''. [[User:Ftiercel|Ftiercel]] ([[User talk:Ftiercel|talk]]) 19:02, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

== Is it possible to rate files with it? ==

My Wiki is for students and grants them the chance to upload work they do to support fellow students (like protocolls etc.). Now just because a student thinks he is right, doesn't mean he has to be, which means that the files may contain wrong information. To resolve this issue I thought a rating system might be good. People should rate after taking the test the files they used to prepare for it.

The closed thing to what I had in mind is your extension. Now I wanted to ask, if this is even possible. What I imagine is something like [http://biosbg.cwsurf.de/images/ratings.png this]. I just copied one bar via paint, so I haven't tried this yet. Now I want to ask whether this is even possible. Most pages will contain 3 to 5 files, but some might have 10 to 15. Is that possible?

And just for the eyes: is it possible to make it smaller and put the text part (how much votes) behind the bar?

Thanks, --[[User:DMR|DMR]] ([[User talk:DMR|talk]]) 18:53, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

==single user rating==
First at all I want to thank you for this nice extension.
For our Wiki, where user can leave a comment at the page, I needed the given rating of that user (to display by template). At the moment there is no ability to display this, by using {{#w4grb_rawrating:[page name]|n}} or something like that.

Your licence wouldn't allow the change of your code. So, this way I'm asking for your allowance ;-) [[User talk:Letofred|Letofred]])

Otherway I suggest the following changes for a newer version:

;w4g_rb.php
<source lang="html4strict">
function W4GrbShowRawRating ( $parser, $fullpagename = '', $type = '' )
{
global $wgUser;

$output = '';

# Get textual page id
if($fullpagename == '')
$fullpagename = $parser->getTitle();

$page_obj=new W4GRBPage();
if(!$page_obj->setFullPageName($fullpagename))
return array(''.wfMsg('w4g_rb-no_page_with_this_name',$fullpagename).'', 'noparse' => true, 'isHTML' => true);

if($type=='avg') $output = $page_obj->getAVG();
else if ($type=='n') $output = $page_obj->getNVotes();
else $output = $page_obj->getMyVote(User::idFromName($type));
return $output;
}
</source>

;w4g_rb-page.class.php
<source lang="html4strict">
private $vote; # vote of user

public function getMyVote($uid)
{
$pid = $this->page_id;
$dbslave = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );

$result = $dbslave->select('w4grb_votes', 'uid,pid,vote',
array('pid' => $pid, 'uid' => $uid),
__METHOD__);
if($row = $dbslave->fetchObject($result))
{
$this->vote = wfMsg('w4g_rb-voted').' '.intval($row->vote).'%';

}
else
{
$this->vote = wfMsg('w4g_rb-you_didnt_vote');
}
$dbslave->freeResult($result);
unset($dbslave);
return $this->vote;
}
</source>

;w4g_rb.i18n.php
<source lang="html4strict">
'w4g_rb-voted' => 'voted',
</source>

;usage: {{#w4grb_rawrating:[page name]|{{{USER}}} }}
:-> within a template the rating of {{{USER}}} is shown.

remark: {{{USER}}} should not equal to 'avg' or 'n' - all other arguments will be a username, if not existing the result will be 0.

== Use W4G Rating Bar with IE8 ==

Hi, we use this extension. In firefox without any problems but in IE8 appears:
Meldung: Objekt erforderlich
Zeile: 70
Zeichen: 4
Code: 0
URI: http://MY_URL_AND_PATH/extensions/w4gratingbar/w4g_rb.js

The rating doesn't work in IE8. Is there any help outside ?!? ;o) Thanks a lot.

Maybe is there another rating bar, which is easy to use to rate articles and which provides a toplist?!

Thanks. Gerd

== Problem when using rawrating or ratinglist ==

When referring to a rating bar's value using the rawrating command or creating a list with the ratinglist command, the values do not update upon reload of the page. The only way the values will change is if the wiki page itself is edited and saved. Is there any work around to this? We want pages that don't get edited very often to have dynamic values with the rating system.

== Is there any way to "reset" the votes for a page after a page has been improved==

Im using this rating bar as a way to find and fix the worst pages on my system.

Is there any way that I can reset the votes for a particular page after a page has been reviewed and improved?

== Problem after MediaWiki upgrade to 1.23 ==

After upgrade, Special Page is not more accesible. The following error appears in logs :
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method W4GRB::includable() in /var/datas/mediawiki/extensions/W4G Rating Bar/SpecialW4GRB_body.php on line 31

In the page, the contructor is the following :
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct( 'W4GRB');
$this->includable( false );
}

Function includable does not exist anymore. But the constructor in the parent class is :
public function __construct(
$name = '', $restriction = '', $listed = true,
$function = false, $file = '', $includable = false
) {
$this->mName = $name;
$this->mRestriction = $restriction;
$this->mListed = $listed;
$this->mIncludable = $includable;
}

So mIncludable is false by default and this is not required to call something like $this->includable( false );
We can just change the constructor as following :
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct( 'W4GRB');
# $this->includable( false );
}

== You need to enable JavaScript to vote ==
"You need to enable JavaScript to vote" shows instead of ratingbar after anybody edited page. If I change something in "LocalSettings.php" (even comments), ratingbar on this page starts to behave normally. Just to the moment when somebody edits page again. Any clues?
Also, it gives three errors:

"Uncaught ReferenceError: W4GRB is not defined

Uncaught ReferenceError: loadbox is not defined

Uncaught ReferenceError: updatebox is not defined".

UPD: "$wgEnableParserCache = false" solves the problem.

:I have the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix?

== mysql_real_escape_string(): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO) on line 453 ==

Workaround for this problem: replace "mysql_real_escape_string" on line 453 for "mysql_escape_string". I don't know how to solve this correctly, but this solution works.

== wikieditor preview button strange behavior ==

I'm using MediaWiki 1.25alpha (80463f4) with WikiEditor 0.4.0 (Versió bca8c3c) and having a very strange behaviour when I enable the preview button at localsettings. Whenever I'm editing a page, if I press the preview button and then save changes, it changes the '''main page''' of my mediawiki with that content, instead of the actual page I was editing. This only happens when using the actual preview button, so even if I have it enabled at the localsettings, the wikieditor works fine '''ONLY IF''' I don't do a preview before saving. What's wrong? Something in my mediawiki general settings? Or is it something wrong with the wikieditor?

BTW, by the preview button I mean the one that appears on top of the wikieditor when <code>$wgDefaultUserOptions['wikieditor-preview'] = 1;</code> on localsettings, not the one at the bottom, next to the save button, which works fine.

Thanks.

:I also have this problem using MediaWiki 1.23 and WikiEditor 0.4.0 (3f6ac7c).
:However, more specifically, an [[Extension:InputBox|InputBox]] with '''type=create''' seems to be the problem. If I preview the page, then save the page, the page which is changed is the page named in the input box. If it is blank, then the main page is changed. If there is a default value in the input box, then it is that page (i.e. the default value) which is changed.
:Again, this is only with the preview tab at the top - not the MW provided "Show Preview" button at the bottom. Even once using the "Preview" tab, navigating back to the "Edit" tab and saving creates the same behavior.

== Link-suggesting module ==

Hi,

WikiEditor, upon clicking "Link", a link-suggesting interface popup appears which I guess would be JavaScript-powered. I was wondering where this popup's JS code is found in the module directory of this extension. This is because I'd like to edit Cacycle's WikEd WYSIWIG editor (for my own Wiki's use) so that upon inserting a redirect this same popup is called. If this JS is found in a module with several other lines of JS it'd be helpful if you could give me line numbers, please.

I asked my MediaWiki programmer and he didn't know it either. My suggestion is to add the following sentence after '''Done!'''

Hi,

I have just run the update.php script and now I am having a problem with the wikieditor-ui.

Hi,

I'm very new to mediawiki so have just been reading guide after guide. I'm trying to install my first extension - infobox. However keep having error after error.

Everything seemed to install fine, however i just get this error

Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "11".

Looking up guides say i need to manually set the lua path - however this just results in given another error (The interpreter exited with status 126.) which outputs an error in the log file that says it can't find this folder.

I have added the following to my LocalSettings.php

require_once "$IP/extensions/Scribunto/Scribunto.php";
$wgScribuntoDefaultEngine = 'luastandalone';
## $wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['luaPath'] = '/usr/bin/lua';
$wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['memoryLimit'] = 209715200; # bytes
$wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['errorFile'] = 'tmp/lua.log';

I've already contacted my hosting provider to no avail with fixing the issue.

Please help!

== CSS missing from page after removing index.php from url ==

I have been at this for a while and i have finally got it working..somewhat. I have a subdomain and a normal php site at the root. I want to be able to go to sub.domain.com/wiki and it will load up mediawiki. I have done this by creating an alias in apache.

Alias /wiki "/var/www/html/mediawiki/index.php"

Inside my loadsettings.php file i have

<pre>$wgScriptPath = "/";
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;
</pre>

This is working. The url looks correct and data is displaying, but all CSS is missing. What have i done wrong? [[Special:Contributions/95.45.224.137|95.45.224.137]] 15:43, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
:I guess that you currently can no longer access CSS styles, which are delivered by the load.php file. If this is your problem, then you should add an exception for this file to .htaccess so that calls to load.php are not redirected to MediaWiki, but that they are just left they way they are.

:You say you have a normal php site at the root, but you also have $wgScriptPath set to the root directory. That assumes MediaWiki is installed at the root, but that's not true because you have an alias for /wiki, so it should be /wiki instead.
:$wgArticlePath may not be right, also, if you don't have rewrite rules. [[User:Ciencia Al Poder|Ciencia Al Poder]] ([[User talk:Ciencia Al Poder|talk]]) 17:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

:Hi :) Unfortunately, this is the place to ask about the MediaWiki software, rather than the content of any wiki that runs on MediaWiki. As such, your question is quite a bit out of the scope of this wiki. Fortunately, you can look at [http://www.wikia.com/wiki/c:rs:Roving Elves wikia:rs:Roving Elves] for your answer instead.

== Maximalbreite ==

Mich stört es leider, dass die Auflösungen heutzutage immer größer werden. Daher denke ich, dass es angebracht wäre die Breite in meinem Wiki anzupassen. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass alle Skins eine Auto-Anpassung haben, jenachdem wie groß die Bildschirmauflösung ist. Ich möchte gerne das gesamte Wiki, welches ich leite, auf eine (Mindest)Breite von 1388px setzen. Weiß man denn, wo ich genau anfangen soll? Also bei uns ist der Monobook Skin aktiviert, also denke ich, dass es gut wäre da die Mindestbreite einzustellen. Ich weiß aber nicht, wie genau die CSS Regeln aussehen sollen. Ich habe als Test .body { width: 1388px } in Monobook.css eingegeben. Klappen tut es aber nicht ganz... Als ich zu einem größeren Bildschirm mit höherer Auflösung wechselte (1600px / 2000px), musste ich leider feststellen, dass #footer, #p-personal und div#content zusammengedrückt wurden und zu 100% nicht richtig positioniert wurden (sprich, dass alle drei nicht bis zum Ende [die rechte Seite] reichen). #p-personal wurde vollständig nach rechts geschoben. div#content setzte ich testweise auf div#content { width: 1150px }. Ich wäre euch sehr verbunden, wenn man mir hilft. :)

== MediaWiki search index issue with existing contents and special character decoding issue with Page title ==

Hi All,

I have recently migrated the Mediawiki 1.12 to Mediawiki 1.25.1, Everything works good except few things.
The 1st issue is that 3 characters or less keyword searching not gives result for existing data (old) but if I edit the page and try to put any new word and then it searches, so it means that I need to rebuild the existing search index.
as per Mediawiki advice i.e. '''Searchindex may need to be repaired: In phpMyAdmin, enter "REPAIR TABLE wikidb.searchindex; " for rebuilding the search index. wikidb is your database's name''', I did same thing but still same issue.
Do I need to run the '''rebuildtextindex.php''' also, if yes how I do as I don't know how to run the individual php page.
2. I also facing special character decoding issue on page title - If I see the existing page on production (mediawiki 1.12) it shows proper page title i.e. '''Arm®''', but if I see that in DEV server (mediawiki 1.25), then I see '''ArmÂ®''' [[User:Naimish88|Naimish88]] ([[User talk:Naimish88|talk]]) 20:44, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
:You should first run a REPAIR TABLE statement in phpmyadmin. Then make sure that you have shell access. Via the shell, you can run PHP scripts like the rebuildtextindex.php file. If you can run PHP scripts, you should first TRUNCATE the searchindex table. This will empty it. After that, run the rebuildtextindex.php script.

::::::> ''page title i.e. Arm®, but if I see that in DEV server (mediawiki 1.25), then I see ArmÂ®''
::::::Your second problem is a charset problem. If your plan is to upgrade the original server to MediaWiki 1.25 (as opposed to copying over your DEV instance), then you will most likely ''not'' have this problem on the original server.
::::::Make sure that in MySQL in your DEV system you are using UTF-8 encoding - basically everywhere: For the different tables and the columns (especially the column ''page_title'' in the ''page'' table). Also make sure that the "character_set_*" variables in MySQL are set to UTF-8. This affects these variables:
::::::<code> character_set_client = utf8;</code>
::::::<code> character_set_results = utf8;</code>
::::::<code> character_set_connection = utf8;</code>
::::::Afterwards, when you query the page_title column with a tool like phpmyadmin, you should see the page titles encoded correctly. And when this is the case, MediaWiki should also be able to display them correctly again. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.87.204|88.130.87.204]] 20:08, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

== Template:Listen - No Player for Embedded ogg File ==

Hello,

I'm working on a project for a client and having issues getting Template:Listen to function correctly. Both the template and it's accompanying module have been exported from Wikipedia and imported to the MediaWiki I'm working with. The "listen box" displays with links to the sound file I am trying to embed, but does not show a player or any option to play the sound file from the specific page I need it to work on. My code for the template looks like this:

<nowiki>{{Listen
| filename = LK Wheezing Laugh.ogg
| title = LK Wheezing Laugh
| description = LK's "wheezing laugh" was a popular recurring staple in the ''Shoot of the Week'' series.
| pos = right
}}</nowiki>

This is what I get showing up instead of the speaker icon and the play button:

<nowiki>http://www.lordkayoss.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lord_Kayoss#Shoot_of_the_Week</nowiki>

Wondering what I am missing. Is there some kind of code that needs to be added to Commons or inserted into LocalSettings.php to get the box to display correctly and include the media player? Is there another template/module I need to export from Wikipedia? I'd much rather get this working correctly versus installing a new media player via an extension that doesn't fit the native Wiki theme. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

== Method of Declaring Content Namespaces in one array doesn't work ==

The page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgContentNamespaces for declaring content namespaces indicates that the namespaces should be declared in a single array. This generates an error. It seems to work when each content namespace is declared with a discrete statement:

<pre>$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_VOL_TALK;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_STRNG;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_STAFF;</pre>

I'm a noob so chances are I'm doing something wrong. I am hoping that someone can confirm that the way I'm declaring content namespaces is not going to cause problems.

I'm using MW 1.25.1. Apache 24, updated a couple weeks ago, php56 updated recently.

Thanks,

::When I tried declaring content namespaces as an array like this format as described with content namespaces (see above):
::<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgContentNamespaces = array( NS_MAIN, NS_HELP, NS_PROJECT, NS_CUSTOMNAMESPACE );</pre>
I got a blank page. I did not add a line to the end of my LocalSettings.php to view error messages. I simply put each additional content namespace on a separate line. I'm trying to figure out why I can create new pages using forms with CreateBox but not with Semantic Forms and I am wondering if it would make any difference at all to declare content namespaces on separate lines instead of as an array.
I define my namespace constants first, e.g. snippet (starting at 3210):
<pre>define("NS_VOL",3216);
define("NS_VOL_TALK",3217);</syntaxhighlight>
::Then add namespaces, e.g. snippet:
::<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_VOL] = "Volunteers";
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_VOL_TALK] = "Volunteers talk";</syntaxhighlight>
::Then make them content namespaces, e.g. snippet:
::<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_VOL;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_VOL_TALK;</syntaxhighlight>
::Then enable subpages,
::<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_VOL] = true;</pre>
Then if it's working as it should, I would configure lockdown and other settings dependent upon the namespaces, e.g. $wgNamespaceProtection.
I'm just trying to debug "invalid or virtual namespace -1" errors when creating new pages using Semantic Forms (but not CreateBox). The way I am declaraing $wgContentNamespaces[] is different than described in the manual so I thought I would just check this as a possible source of error.

Hi! I'm new with MediaWiki and I want to update my wiki. I always use the [[Manual:Upgrading#Web_browser|web browser]]. Is there somethin I have to consider? Thank you! [[Special:Contributions/80.137.199.64|80.137.199.64]] 20:37, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

== Template:Listen - Is There an Alternative to TimedMediaHandler? ==

Is there an alternative to TimedMediaHandler to get the Listen box to embed and play a sound file? I have wasted nearly three days going in circles trying to get TimedMediaHandler to work. The extension does not come with all required pieces to function properly. Despite all my searching and questions in numerous forums and chat sessions, I am at a loss on how to get Pear installed and configured properly to make TimedMediaHandler work.

I simply want to be able to add the option to play a sound file from within the Listen box on a Wiki page. That's it. Can someone please provide a simpler alternative to the matrix of problems I've been presented with TimedMediaHandler? I have tried a couple different media players and have gotten them to appear on the page and play the sound file, but none seem to be able to be included inside the Listen box which is ultimately what I need to happen.

Thank you.

== Password reminder not sent ==

I' m a new editor of Wikipedia and logged out on Friday and now (woozy after an operation) can't remember my password. I've filled in the temporary password request form many times today, some of them 10 hours ago, and still have not received a reminder to my email, even though I have been repeatedly told that a password has been sent to my email address. I've tried entering just username too - that doesn't work either.

Does anyone know why or know how to get a temporary password please?

Can someone give me some pointers on where I should look for debugging this? I've tried things like removing the skins folder entirely (I get an error) so I know that it's using the skin, I just can't figure out why the changes are not appearing.

== [RESOLVED] Cannot upload image Internal Error ==

Hello,

I changed already the permission on my mediawiki page but I still cannot upload file.

What I did are:

Adding the following line in LocalSettings.php

$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgUploadDirectory = "images";
$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images";
$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgAllowExternalImages = true;

My permisison is drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 2015-03-24 10:39 images

I also did sudo chmod -R 755 images/

Still no luck.

Below is my error:

Hallo zusammen,

wir erstellen im Wiki PDFs, die einen Hyperlink zu einer PDF haben. Wenn ich das über meinen Windowsexplorer mache funktioniert alles.
Die verlinkten PDF´s liegen auf einem "anderen" Server.

Wer kann mir sagen wie ich das anstellen muss.

Die Quell PDF liegt auf: "C:\xampp\htdocs\images\f\f6\xyz.pdf"

== Read more button/link ==

Hi,

I am using the dailyfeaturedpage extentsion to display an article on my mediawiki main page and sometimes the article is too long which would make the page ugly.

I am wondering if there is a read more link extension whenever the article has more than (maybe 100 words) then it will show the "read more" link and by clicking on the link will bring users to the link of the article.

Thanks! [[Special:Contributions/2401:7400:C800:32AC:350B:D5C0:5F98:974C|2401:7400:C800:32AC:350B:D5C0:5F98:974C]] 15:07, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
:The source code of the extension is here: <nowiki>https://github.com/developingcountries/DailyFeaturedPage/blob/master/dailyfeaturedpage.php</nowiki>
:After line 36, ''$page'' contains what ''$title->getFullText();'' returned; basically that will be your complete article text.
:Reading <nowiki>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/965235/how-can-i-truncate-a-string-to-the-first-20-words-in-php</nowiki>, I would try adding to the original source code so that it looks like this:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
$page = $title->getFullText();
/** @var $limit integer Number of words to keep */
$limit = 100;
if (str_word_count($page, 0) > $limit) {
$words = str_word_count($page, 2);
$pos = array_keys($words);
$page = substr($page, 0, $pos[$limit]) . '... ' . '[[' . $featuredArticle[0] . '|Read more]]';
}
//returns page and parses the transclusion tags, onlyinclude etc., so that only transcluded section is shown.
return $parser->recursiveTagParse( '{{:' . $page. '}}');

:I have not tested this code, but it should basically work.

::When I change the sign from > to < as follows,

:::''$title->getFullText()'' in fact only returns the full '''title''' of the page; not the full ''text'' of the page. My mistake.
:::So instead of doing it with ''$page'' as I tried above, you should do something like:

/** @var $article object Article object for page $title. */
$article = new Article( $title );

== What makes wiki links go from red to blue/purple? ==

From: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page

''Once the page has been created, the link will change from red to blue (purple for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists.''

What (maintenance scripts?) makes the link go from red to blue/purple after the page has been created? I am noticing the links are not getting updated to blue/purple after the page is created. Are there any manual jobs I can run to make this happen? lizkim270 16:49, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
:YES! And there you are, another one of the "job queue not working" problems!
:You can run the maintenance script runJobs.php to get open jobs done; this includes re-rendering pages, which have to be updated (e.g. because they contain links, which need an update). [[Special:Contributions/88.130.75.87|88.130.75.87]] 16:53, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
::runJobs.php did the trick - Thank you. There were MANY jobs in queue... I guess this will have to go in my crontab. Are there any fixes for this? I think this started happening after upgrading from 1.22 to 1.24.. lizkim270 17:03, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
:::And this is still unfixed in 1.25. :-(

::::Apparently, MediaWiki is using the job queue for more things lately, so the refreshlinks / cache jobs need to compete with others. So basically, after you create the page it may take a few jobs until the cache of those pages is refreshed.
::::Setting $wgJobRunRate to a value less than 1 makes the thing worse. [[User:Ciencia Al Poder|Ciencia Al Poder]] ([[User talk:Ciencia Al Poder|talk]]) 09:32, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
:::::Right. The default makes it so that one job is run on average every hundred's page request. If you change a page, which is linked at a number of places and if your wiki only has a few hits (e.g. an internal wiki used only by some company members), you will likely come to the point where the queue gets more new entries than it can work away. In the result the queue is filling more and more and your wiki will seem more and more broken (e.g. because of outdated links).

== Display Image on RSS Reader Extension ==

Hi,

I am using the RSS Reader extension and currently I want to use Wikipedia Photo of the day rss feeds.

However, it is not displaying the images but instead it is displaying the image tag instead.
<img alt= "" ... >

How do I get it to display images?

We've switched from using Semantic Bundle to install MediaWiki extensions by using Composer. Now we can skip, for some extensions, manually including entry points at the LocalSettings.php file (http://www.bn2vs.com/blog/2013/11/24/introduction-to-composer-for-mediawiki-developers/).

== Whether edit filters do count preview actions ==

Hi,

Please refer to [https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/विशेष:संपादनगाळणी_नोंदी/59763 this hit to a filter] on mr wikipedia. During regular examination of past hits I came across this hit. I am bit intrigued with this hit since the user does not seem to have clicked save button, if he had clicked save button, then there was nothing to stop change to take effect. I would like to understand whether edit filters may hit during just a preview action ? or is there any other possibility which might have stopped this edit to take effect ? Whether this hit is a regular expected behaviour of edit filter or it is a bug in itself ?

If hits are given on user preview actions then, whether those preview actions are counted in a edit filter where rate limit is mentioned ? Just I am trying to find if such edit filter behaviour is becoming cause of false positives. Actually I want to reproduce [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100638 T100638 bug], which I have experienced once in a while but uptil now I have not been able to reproduce. Please also see bug [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86434 T86434] reported by Dutch wikipedia, also need to be studied if it also has simmiller problem.

:I can think of a few things, that might or might not cause this.
:#: Perhaps the user is editing from a shared IP address, and for some reason the filter is counting these as well ?
:#: Perhaps the stashing of an edit or the previewing of an edit using the API (Live preview) accidentally triggers this ?
:Testing or reading the code will be the only way to figure it out I guess. —[[User:TheDJ|TheDJ (Not WMF)]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 11:06, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for your reply giving valuable inputs.

Since I am not admin at en wikipedia, I need some one's support in administrative preview of listed instances to confirm that if any blacklisting or any other action might have stopped those edit actions from getting saved. If not then those can be usefull for further technical/bug study which we are discussing in this thread.

== Version Explanation ==

Hello there! I am new to MediaWiki and I am trying to get some information regarding versions.

According to Wikipedia's MediaWiki page, the most stable version of MediaWiki is 1.25. However, according to this section of the wiki ([[Manual:Upgrading#How_do_I_upgrade_from_a_really_old_version.3F_In_one_step.2C_or_in_several_steps.3F|link]]), the are versions as new as 1.5 and 1.4. Could someone please explain this? [[Special:Contributions/162.115.236.101|162.115.236.101]] 20:44, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
:I think I may have realized the reason for my confusion. I'm used to 1.5 & 1.4 being greater than 1.25, but I guess they correspond to 1.05 & 1.04, respectively, in MediaWiki versions. Thanks! [[Special:Contributions/162.115.236.101|162.115.236.101]] 20:53, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
::That is exactly it: For MediaWiki, basically just ignore the "1." at the start. What you are left with then, is the actual version number. So yeah, 1.5 is an antique version and 1.4 is even older. 1.25 however is the current release. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.88.6|88.130.88.6]] 00:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

== What's the best way to fetch an article based on a title? ==

Hello, I am testing how to use Wikideata API to parse wikipedia data. There are a number of examples provided in the maven project. But how can I do this? For example, return me the page whose title is "Hello World".
Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/12.222.14.61|12.222.14.61]] 21:21, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
:Two ways I know of:
:* Independent of the API, you can just add <code>action=raw</code> as an argument in the URL and it will return the page: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?action=raw for example]
:* Using the API, the API documentation gives you [[API:Main_page#A simple example|an example]] of exactly that. [[User:Clump|Clump]] ([[User talk:Clump|talk]]) 21:52, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

== Create a link to a redirect without redirecting ==

I want to create a link to a page with a redirect but not follow the redirect.

For example:
If I was on Wikipedia I would use [[RGB]] to link to the page titled RGB
RGB redirects to [[RGB Color Model]]
How would I link to [[RGB]] without the user following the redirect on that page?

I came up with [//{{SERVERNAME}}/w/index.php?title=RGB&redirect=no] but it has a little external link arrow at the end [[Special:Contributions/134.60.116.21|134.60.116.21]] 21:21, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
:You can only use the external link syntax for that. To skip the icon on the link, wrap it inside an element with class="plainlinks":

== "Signing" a mediawiki page? ==

Hey,

we are using Mediawiki to manage our company's quality management. We are documenting our processes, etc.

Now we want to move our fault management to the wiki. so that everybody can record erros in processes, etc.
Also we want to record meeting protocols where we are discussion that previously recorderd errors.
In the paper-based system, every employee had to sign the protocol (so that employess that were to present at the meeting had to read the protocol).

Unfortunately I have no idea how to convert this into the wiki?
Has somebody an answer/hint for that problem?

Help is very appreciated!

== redirecting to main page: main page does not exist? ==

Hi,

I want to redirect a page named 'Hauptseite' to my main page. The article Hauptseite therefore consists in the single line
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[main page]]</nowiki>

::::Modifying ''MediaWiki:Mainpage'' is a feature, which MediaWiki supports. And it will work. But it will have bad performance: MediaWiki is invoked and that only to do a redirect. A way faster method is to add an .htaccess RewriteRule, which rewrites calls to the main page to the new target. This circumvents MediaWiki and will be worlds faster.

== [RESOLVED] Help about formatnum magic word ==

Hello, I have one question and one (probable) bug report, both related to "formatnum:".
# In the [[Help:Magic_words#Formatting|magic words help page]], it is said that "[formatnum:] Takes an unformatted number [...] and outputs it in the localized digit script and formatted with decimal and decimal group separators, according to the wiki's default locale.". Does only the numbers on the left of the dot (eg: in <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:98765.4321}}</nowiki></code>, the "98765" part) can be formatted according the wiki's local, OR the numbers on the right of the dot (eg: in <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:98765.4321}}</nowiki></code>, the "4321" part) can be formatted too?
# In the French wiki, the <code>|R</code> parameter seems not working: as it can be seen in my [//fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Wikini/Brouillon#bug sandbox], the code <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:987654.321}}</nowiki></code> answers (correctly) "987 654,321", but the code <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:987 654,321|R}}</nowiki></code> does not provide the initial string (ie: "987654.321"), but provides "987 654.321". One can note that the code <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:{{formatnum:987654.321}}|R}}</nowiki></code> works well.

== Template syntax ==

My site is using some converted Wikipedia pages. In several of them I have, as an example, this syntax; "{{/Categories}}" which my site translates as
"Template:/Categories". This appears to be incorrect but the forward slash mark in front of the Categories is actually in the original Wikipedia page. Can anyone tell me what that slash mark indicates. At least what is page that the original syntax is asking for. [[Special:Contributions/72.64.87.166|72.64.87.166]] 13:43, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

== Auto Login to Mediawiki (Auth remoteuser Extension) ==

Hi folks,

I am trying to implement an auto login function into my mediawiki by using their windows credentials. I am using Apache Server.

I have implemented the Auth remoteuser extension and has implemented the mod_auth_sspi.so in my httpd.conf file and has configure it to be as follows

<pre><IfModule !mod_auth_sspi.c>
LoadModule sspi_auth_module modules/mod_auth_sspi.so
</IfModule>
</pre>

<pre><Location "file/to/path">

Allow from all
AuthName "TestWeb"
AuthType SSPI
SSPIAuth On
SSPIAuthoritative On
SSPIOmitDomain On
SSPIOfferBasic on
Require valid-user
</Location>
</pre>

However, it gives me the prompt to type in the username and password on IE/Firefox/CHrome which I don't want the prompt to appear. I want it to auto login to mediawiki straight without the prompt. Which step am I doing wrong?

How may I achieve the above? Thanks for all assistance! [[Special:Contributions/2401:7400:C800:32AC:B49F:9B0F:5103:9928|2401:7400:C800:32AC:B49F:9B0F:5103:9928]] 15:42, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

== How to question: How to get a list of all .svg files, i.e. their really correct locations, on commons.wikipedia. ==

Hi!
I asked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk first (#commonswiki-20150417-all-titles_contains_names_of_deleted_files), and it was suggested that I best try to ask here or at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29 
I try here first.

So I'm searching for all svg-files on wikipedia. While doing this I found out that commonswiki-20150417-all-titles seems to contain deleted files.

For example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:34sassinu.svg
(I don't know what sort of image that is. Obviously.)

So my questions are:

1. Is there another list-file similiar to commonswiki-20150417-all-titles that contains all deleted files, so I could do a cross check?

2. Is there an all-titles list-file that doesn't contain the deleted files?

3. Bonus question: Some of those files in commonswiki-20150417-all-titles have been renamed. In line with the two first questions: How to find out the current name?

I only want to download the svg-files, and not to download like 250% overload. Out of the 20 files I tried around half were renamed.

And some were deleted. Only around 5 were actually to find under the name given in the all-titles file.

By now I would have been faster if I just grabbed a whole wikipedia-dump. :/ But then that I really don't want to do .

Hi,

I upgraded from MW 1.24.2 to 1.25.1 (from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/applications/openSUSE_13.2/)

<code>sudo -u wwwrun php ./maintenance/update.php --quick --conf ./LocalSettings.php</code> did run smoothly and I had to reinstall some composer managed extensions. No errors so far. But trying to run the wiki on my computer prints out
: Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class Profiler in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/profiler/Profiler.php on line 83
I then tried to narrow down the source of failure, if this may have any relation to my LocalSettings.php, so I deactivated all extensions and settings, only rudimentary wg-variables were active. I even removed my installed composer extensions using <code>/usr/bin/composer.phar remove --update-with-dependencies 'mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki'</code> (etc. for all my composer managed extensions) to check if this fatal error is related but no success. The same fatal error remains.

== Localization extension (not the wiki loca!) ==

Hi,

I have a wiki for a game which has a lot of localization (go figure..) and because of that I usually have to put Korean names and when English version becomes available I basically have to use ReplaceText extension and manually replace everything. With bigger updates where there are thousands of names this takes too much time (pywikibot is not an option because some items might be using two different loca strings that have the same value and if only one of them is going to be changed a bot working purely on text would replace both).

Because I don't really know anything about programming and can't really create my own extension I am looking for something that would basically do this:
in the text I use something like <nowiki>{{str_dev_name_of_an_item}}</nowiki> and that would be automatically replaced by the name that is defined in some file that contains whole loca (so I would only have to update that one file from time to time and everything in the wiki would update itself).

Since googling localization and mediawiki is more likely find entries about wiki loca I have to ask here if anyone has ever heard of an extension that would work in a similar way or in exactly that way?

:When ReplaceText takes too much time, I guess this is caused by the fact that the different replacements are stored in the [[job queue]] and that during every single page hit there by default is a chance of 1% that one of these jobs gets executed. You can speed up this process by running the maintenance script [[Manual:runJobs.php|runJobs.php]]. That way you can run all jobs from the queue immediately!

== Page Protection Options ==

So I'm trying to figure out how to add more options to the access level drop down. I created a moderator group and granted some extra permissions. I want them to be able to lock pages as well as to be able to edit these pages.
However if I lock them as an administrator, my mods can no longer edit them. Also if the moderator trys to lock it, he can not lock restriction to the mod level. The next level is registered users, meaning anyone can still edit the page with the protection on.

So, for this drop down for Allowing edits on a protected page, how do I add an option for my user group "Moderators"?

== Set/call wiki version compatibility for extension ==

Hello,

I'm developing an extension for my wiki farm. I want to know how a PHP extension script looks like that has these features:

* Extension is going to call the ''wiki version'' (from <code>/wiki/includes/specials/SpecialVersion.php</code>). If the version is over 1.18 activate the extension, if the version is under 1.18 disable the function automatically or send a (fatal) error message and disallow/disable the extension for ''BlueSpice & Semantic-MediaWiki'' distributions/wikis and allow/activate extension for ''iSC Inc. & MediaWiki'' distributions/wikis:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
// Put the software in an array of form 'name' => 'version'. All messages should be loaded here, so feel free to use wfMessage in the 'name'. Raw HTML or wikimarkup can be used.
$software = array();
$software['[https://inc.isc/ iSC Inc.]'] = self::getVersionLinked();
$software['[https://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki]'] = self::getVersionLinked();
if ( wfIsHHVM() ) {
$software['[http://hhvm.com/ HHVM]'] = HHVM_VERSION . " (" . PHP_SAPI . ")";
} else {

:::Extensions cannot enable and disable themselves. They must be included in LocalSettings.php. If they are, they are ''en''abled, if they are not, they are ''dis''abled. With other words: The version check, which I posted above, will only be executed, if the extension is enabled and it might lead to the result that the extension does nothing except stopping execution.

== Importing the Wikia source code into a Mediawiki server? ==

Hi, I'd just like to preface this post by saying I have next to know clue really what I'm doing here, I originally just planned on making a wikia the usual way, but unfortunately I can't allow the information I want to store on it to be publicly accessible. Since I'd like to still use a wikia-type interface, I was wondering if there is a way to take the wikia source code they have on git and import it to my mediawiki server I've installed with Bitnami, and how I would do that. I'm using Mediawiki 1.25.1, PHP 5.5.25 (apache2handler) and MYSQL 5.6.23

Hi,
I have a question: can you tell me how to change the background color of the skin Vector in Mediawiki 1.25.1? Until now I used MediaWiki 1.22 and was sufficient just change the color in the file screen.less... But now it looks totally different and I do not understand what I have to change.

:Basically what you do is, use the same style definition as you did before (this modified line from in the screen.less file), but put the CSS definition into the wiki page ''MediaWiki:Vector.css'' in your wiki.

Looking up guides say i need to manually set the lua path - however this just results in given another error (The interpreter exited with status 126.) which outputs an error in the log file that says it can't find this folder.

I have added the following to my LocalSettings.php

:I guess that you currently can no longer access CSS styles, which are delivered by the load.php file. If this is your problem, then you should add an exception for this file to .htaccess so that calls to load.php are not redirected to MediaWiki, but that they are just left they way they are.

:You say you have a normal php site at the root, but you also have $wgScriptPath set to the root directory. That assumes MediaWiki is installed at the root, but that's not true because you have an alias for /wiki, so it should be /wiki instead.
:$wgArticlePath may not be right, also, if you don't have rewrite rules. [[User:Ciencia Al Poder|Ciencia Al Poder]] ([[User talk:Ciencia Al Poder|talk]]) 17:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

== Mobile Apps for Mediawiki - Any success / walkthroughs / advice ? ==

Has anyone taken the wikipedia ios & android source code and adapted it for their own site(s) ?

If so, is there any write up on this?

Couldn't find anything on this and the Mobile team doesn't seem to have made any updates since 2013 so not sure where best to talk about this - any suggestions? [[Special:Contributions/bb2|bb2]] 19:02, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

:Hi :) Unfortunately, this is the place to ask about the MediaWiki software, rather than the content of any wiki that runs on MediaWiki. As such, your question is quite a bit out of the scope of this wiki. Fortunately, you can look at [http://www.wikia.com/wiki/c:rs:Roving Elves wikia:rs:Roving Elves] for your answer instead. However, Arianwyn doesn't appear in that quest so maybe you're confused with another? [[User:Mdowdell|mdowdell]] ([[User talk:Mdowdell|talk]]) 06:40, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

== Maximalbreite ==

Mich stört es leider, dass die Auflösungen heutzutage immer größer werden. Daher denke ich, dass es angebracht wäre die Breite in meinem Wiki anzupassen. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass alle Skins eine Auto-Anpassung haben, jenachdem wie groß die Bildschirmauflösung ist. Ich möchte gerne das gesamte Wiki, welches ich leite, auf eine (Mindest)Breite von 1388px setzen. Weiß man denn, wo ich genau anfangen soll? Also bei uns ist der Monobook Skin aktiviert, also denke ich, dass es gut wäre da die Mindestbreite einzustellen. Ich weiß aber nicht, wie genau die CSS Regeln aussehen sollen. Ich habe als Test .body { width: 1388px } in Monobook.css eingegeben. Klappen tut es aber nicht ganz... Als ich zu einem größeren Bildschirm mit höherer Auflösung wechselte (1600px / 2000px), musste ich leider feststellen, dass #footer, #p-personal und div#content zusammengedrückt wurden und zu 100% nicht richtig positioniert wurden (sprich, dass alle drei nicht bis zum Ende [die rechte Seite] reichen). #p-personal wurde vollständig nach rechts geschoben. div#content setzte ich testweise auf div#content { width: 1150px }. Ich wäre euch sehr verbunden, wenn man mir hilft. :)

Dear Sir/Madam
I am uploading a image which is saved as 24bit .png file, but it can't display on mediawiki(I am using version 1.24).
The prompt error info is:

:Does this happen for all images you try to upload? The parse error is a really strange one. Looks like MediaWiki is trying to ''parse'' a PNG image, but images aren't ''parseable'' AFAIK.

== MediaWiki search index issue with existing contents and special character decoding issue with Page title ==

Hi All,

I have recently migrated the Mediawiki 1.12 to Mediawiki 1.25.1, Everything works good except few things.
The 1st issue is that 3 characters or less keyword searching not gives result for existing data (old) but if I edit the page and try to put any new word and then it searches, so it means that I need to rebuild the existing search index.
as per Mediawiki advice i.e. '''Searchindex may need to be repaired: In phpMyAdmin, enter "REPAIR TABLE wikidb.searchindex; " for rebuilding the search index. wikidb is your database's name''', I did same thing but still same issue.
Do I need to run the '''rebuildtextindex.php''' also, if yes how I do as I don't know how to run the individual php page.
2. I also facing special character decoding issue on page title - If I see the existing page on production (mediawiki 1.12) it shows proper page title i.e. '''Arm®''', but if I see that in DEV server (mediawiki 1.25), then I see '''ArmÂ®''' [[User:Naimish88|Naimish88]] ([[User talk:Naimish88|talk]]) 20:44, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
:You should first run a REPAIR TABLE statement in phpmyadmin. Then make sure that you have shell access. Via the shell, you can run PHP scripts like the rebuildtextindex.php file. If you can run PHP scripts, you should first TRUNCATE the searchindex table. This will empty it. After that, run the rebuildtextindex.php script.

::::::> ''page title i.e. Arm®, but if I see that in DEV server (mediawiki 1.25), then I see ArmÂ®''
::::::Your second problem is a charset problem. If your plan is to upgrade the original server to MediaWiki 1.25 (as opposed to copying over your DEV instance), then you will most likely ''not'' have this problem on the original server.
::::::Make sure that in MySQL in your DEV system you are using UTF-8 encoding - basically everywhere: For the different tables and the columns (especially the column ''page_title'' in the ''page'' table). Also make sure that the "character_set_*" variables in MySQL are set to UTF-8. This affects these variables:
::::::<code> character_set_client = utf8;</code>
::::::<code> character_set_results = utf8;</code>
::::::<code> character_set_connection = utf8;</code>
::::::Afterwards, when you query the page_title column with a tool like phpmyadmin, you should see the page titles encoded correctly. And when this is the case, MediaWiki should also be able to display them correctly again. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.87.204|88.130.87.204]] 20:08, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

== Template:Listen - No Player for Embedded ogg File ==

Hello,

I'm working on a project for a client and having issues getting Template:Listen to function correctly. Both the template and it's accompanying module have been exported from Wikipedia and imported to the MediaWiki I'm working with. The "listen box" displays with links to the sound file I am trying to embed, but does not show a player or any option to play the sound file from the specific page I need it to work on. My code for the template looks like this:

<nowiki>{{Listen
| filename = LK Wheezing Laugh.ogg
| title = LK Wheezing Laugh
| description = LK's "wheezing laugh" was a popular recurring staple in the ''Shoot of the Week'' series.
| pos = right
}}</nowiki>

This is what I get showing up instead of the speaker icon and the play button:

<nowiki>http://www.lordkayoss.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lord_Kayoss#Shoot_of_the_Week</nowiki>

Wondering what I am missing. Is there some kind of code that needs to be added to Commons or inserted into LocalSettings.php to get the box to display correctly and include the media player? Is there another template/module I need to export from Wikipedia? I'd much rather get this working correctly versus installing a new media player via an extension that doesn't fit the native Wiki theme. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

== Method of Declaring Content Namespaces in one array doesn't work ==

The page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgContentNamespaces for declaring content namespaces indicates that the namespaces should be declared in a single array. This generates an error. It seems to work when each content namespace is declared with a discrete statement:

<pre>$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_VOL_TALK;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_STRNG;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_STAFF;</pre>

I'm a noob so chances are I'm doing something wrong. I am hoping that someone can confirm that the way I'm declaring content namespaces is not going to cause problems.

I'm using MW 1.25.1. Apache 24, updated a couple weeks ago, php56 updated recently.

::When I tried declaring content namespaces as an array like this format as described with content namespaces (see above):
::<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgContentNamespaces = array( NS_MAIN, NS_HELP, NS_PROJECT, NS_CUSTOMNAMESPACE );</pre>
I got a blank page. I did not add a line to the end of my LocalSettings.php to view error messages. I simply put each additional content namespace on a separate line. I'm trying to figure out why I can create new pages using forms with CreateBox but not with Semantic Forms and I am wondering if it would make any difference at all to declare content namespaces on separate lines instead of as an array.
I define my namespace constants first, e.g. snippet (starting at 3210):
<pre>define("NS_VOL",3216);
define("NS_VOL_TALK",3217);</syntaxhighlight>
::Then add namespaces, e.g. snippet:
::<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_VOL] = "Volunteers";
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_VOL_TALK] = "Volunteers talk";</syntaxhighlight>
::Then make them content namespaces, e.g. snippet:
::<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_VOL;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = NS_VOL_TALK;</syntaxhighlight>
::Then enable subpages,
::<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_VOL] = true;</pre>
Then if it's working as it should, I would configure lockdown and other settings dependent upon the namespaces, e.g. $wgNamespaceProtection.
I'm just trying to debug "invalid or virtual namespace -1" errors when creating new pages using Semantic Forms (but not CreateBox). The way I am declaraing $wgContentNamespaces[] is different than described in the manual so I thought I would just check this as a possible source of error.

== Template:Listen - Is There an Alternative to TimedMediaHandler? ==

Is there an alternative to TimedMediaHandler to get the Listen box to embed and play a sound file? I have wasted nearly three days going in circles trying to get TimedMediaHandler to work. The extension does not come with all required pieces to function properly. Despite all my searching and questions in numerous forums and chat sessions, I am at a loss on how to get Pear installed and configured properly to make TimedMediaHandler work.

I simply want to be able to add the option to play a sound file from within the Listen box on a Wiki page. That's it. Can someone please provide a simpler alternative to the matrix of problems I've been presented with TimedMediaHandler? I have tried a couple different media players and have gotten them to appear on the page and play the sound file, but none seem to be able to be included inside the Listen box which is ultimately what I need to happen.

Thank you.

Can someone give me some pointers on where I should look for debugging this? I've tried things like removing the skins folder entirely (I get an error) so I know that it's using the skin, I just can't figure out why the changes are not appearing.

I'm using:
Mediawiki 1.25.1
MariaDB
PHP 5.5.25-1~dotdeb+7.1 running via php-fpm

== [RESOLVED] Cannot upload image Internal Error ==

Hello,

I changed already the permission on my mediawiki page but I still cannot upload file.

What I did are:

Adding the following line in LocalSettings.php

$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgUploadDirectory = "images";
$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images";
$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgAllowExternalImages = true;

My permisison is drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 2015-03-24 10:39 images

I also did sudo chmod -R 755 images/

Still no luck.

Below is my error:

Internal error

== Verlinkung aus einer PDF zu einer PDF, die auf dem Server liegt ==

Hallo zusammen,

wir erstellen im Wiki PDFs, die einen Hyperlink zu einer PDF haben. Wenn ich das über meinen Windowsexplorer mache funktioniert alles.
Die verlinkten PDF´s liegen auf einem "anderen" Server.

Wer kann mir sagen wie ich das anstellen muss.

Die Quell PDF liegt auf: "C:\xampp\htdocs\images\f\f6\xyz.pdf"
Die Ziel PDF, welche aus der Quell PDF geöffnet werden soll, liegt hier: P:\Auftragserstellung\Auftragsablage\abc.pdf

== Read more button/link ==

Hi,

I am using the dailyfeaturedpage extentsion to display an article on my mediawiki main page and sometimes the article is too long which would make the page ugly.

I am wondering if there is a read more link extension whenever the article has more than (maybe 100 words) then it will show the "read more" link and by clicking on the link will bring users to the link of the article.

Thanks! [[Special:Contributions/2401:7400:C800:32AC:350B:D5C0:5F98:974C|2401:7400:C800:32AC:350B:D5C0:5F98:974C]] 15:07, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
:The source code of the extension is here: <nowiki>https://github.com/developingcountries/DailyFeaturedPage/blob/master/dailyfeaturedpage.php</nowiki>
:After line 36, ''$page'' contains what ''$title->getFullText();'' returned; basically that will be your complete article text.
:Reading <nowiki>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/965235/how-can-i-truncate-a-string-to-the-first-20-words-in-php</nowiki>, I would try adding to the original source code so that it looks like this:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
$page = $title->getFullText();
/** @var $limit integer Number of words to keep */
$limit = 100;
if (str_word_count($page, 0) > $limit) {

$pos = array_keys($words);
$page = substr($page, 0, $pos[$limit]) . '... ' . '[[' . $featuredArticle[0] . '|Read more]]';
}
//returns page and parses the transclusion tags, onlyinclude etc., so that only transcluded section is shown.
return $parser->recursiveTagParse( '{{:' . $page. '}}');
</syntaxhighlight>
:I have not tested this code, but it should basically work.

:::''$title->getFullText()'' in fact only returns the full '''title''' of the page; not the full ''text'' of the page. My mistake.
:::So instead of doing it with ''$page'' as I tried above, you should do something like:

/** @var $article object Article object for page $title. */
$article = new Article( $title );

== What makes wiki links go from red to blue/purple? ==

From: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page

''Once the page has been created, the link will change from red to blue (purple for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists.''

What (maintenance scripts?) makes the link go from red to blue/purple after the page has been created? I am noticing the links are not getting updated to blue/purple after the page is created. Are there any manual jobs I can run to make this happen? lizkim270 16:49, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
:YES! And there you are, another one of the "job queue not working" problems!
:You can run the maintenance script runJobs.php to get open jobs done; this includes re-rendering pages, which have to be updated (e.g. because they contain links, which need an update). [[Special:Contributions/88.130.75.87|88.130.75.87]] 16:53, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
::runJobs.php did the trick - Thank you. There were MANY jobs in queue... I guess this will have to go in my crontab. Are there any fixes for this? I think this started happening after upgrading from 1.22 to 1.24.. lizkim270 17:03, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
:::And this is still unfixed in 1.25. :-(
:::Sure, you can add the script to your crontab, but ''I'' only consider this to be a workaround, not a proper fix. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.75.87|88.130.75.87]] 17:11, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
::::Apparently, MediaWiki is using the job queue for more things lately, so the refreshlinks / cache jobs need to compete with others. So basically, after you create the page it may take a few jobs until the cache of those pages is refreshed.
::::Setting $wgJobRunRate to a value less than 1 makes the thing worse. [[User:Ciencia Al Poder|Ciencia Al Poder]] ([[User talk:Ciencia Al Poder|talk]]) 09:32, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
:::::Right. The default makes it so that one job is run on average every hundred's page request. If you change a page, which is linked at a number of places and if your wiki only has a few hits (e.g. an internal wiki used only by some company members), you will likely come to the point where the queue gets more new entries than it can work away. In the result the queue is filling more and more and your wiki will seem more and more broken (e.g. because of outdated links).

== MediaWiki extensions loaded by Composer ==

We've switched from using Semantic Bundle to install MediaWiki extensions by using Composer. Now we can skip, for some extensions, manually including entry points at the LocalSettings.php file (http://www.bn2vs.com/blog/2013/11/24/introduction-to-composer-for-mediawiki-developers/). But how does MediaWiki know which extensions to load. Does it read composer.json? [[User:Waanders|Waanders]] ([[User talk:Waanders|talk]]) 15:18, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

== Whether edit filters do count preview actions ==

Hi,

Please refer to [https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/विशेष:संपादनगाळणी_नोंदी/59763 this hit to a filter] on mr wikipedia. During regular examination of past hits I came across this hit. I am bit intrigued with this hit since the user does not seem to have clicked save button, if he had clicked save button, then there was nothing to stop change to take effect. I would like to understand whether edit filters may hit during just a preview action ? or is there any other possibility which might have stopped this edit to take effect ? Whether this hit is a regular expected behaviour of edit filter or it is a bug in itself ?

If hits are given on user preview actions then, whether those preview actions are counted in a edit filter where rate limit is mentioned ? Just I am trying to find if such edit filter behaviour is becoming cause of false positives. Actually I want to reproduce [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100638 T100638 bug], which I have experienced once in a while but uptil now I have not been able to reproduce. Please also see bug [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86434 T86434] reported by Dutch wikipedia, also need to be studied if it also has simmiller problem.

:I can think of a few things, that might or might not cause this.
:#: Perhaps the user is editing from a shared IP address, and for some reason the filter is counting these as well ?
:#: Perhaps the stashing of an edit or the previewing of an edit using the API (Live preview) accidentally triggers this ?
:Testing or reading the code will be the only way to figure it out I guess. —[[User:TheDJ|TheDJ (Not WMF)]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 11:06, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for your reply giving valuable inputs.
::Meanwhile I have listed few such likely instance at [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter/False_positives/Reports#Study_of_hits_and_false_positives en:Wikipedia:Edit_filter/False_positives/Reports#Study_of_hits_and_false_positives]. Since I am not admin at en wikipedia, I need some one's support in administrative preview of listed instances to confirm that if any blacklisting or any other action might have stopped those edit actions from getting saved. If not then those can be usefull for further technical/bug study which we are discussing in this thread.
::If I can get support on this front then I can dig further to list more such instances at en wikipedia, and bring doubtfull hits to technical discussion and report at respective bugs wherever necessary.

== Version Explanation ==

Hello there! I am new to MediaWiki and I am trying to get some information regarding versions.

According to Wikipedia's MediaWiki page, the most stable version of MediaWiki is 1.25. However, according to this section of the wiki ([[Manual:Upgrading#How_do_I_upgrade_from_a_really_old_version.3F_In_one_step.2C_or_in_several_steps.3F|link]]), the are versions as new as 1.5 and 1.4. Could someone please explain this? [[Special:Contributions/162.115.236.101|162.115.236.101]] 20:44, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
:I think I may have realized the reason for my confusion. I'm used to 1.5 & 1.4 being greater than 1.25, but I guess they correspond to 1.05 & 1.04, respectively, in MediaWiki versions. Thanks! [[Special:Contributions/162.115.236.101|162.115.236.101]] 20:53, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
::That is exactly it: For MediaWiki, basically just ignore the "1." at the start. What you are left with then, is the actual version number. So yeah, 1.5 is an antique version and 1.4 is even older. 1.25 however is the current release. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.88.6|88.130.88.6]] 00:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

== What's the best way to fetch an article based on a title? ==

Hello, I am testing how to use Wikideata API to parse wikipedia data. There are a number of examples provided in the maven project. But how can I do this? For example, return me the page whose title is "Hello World".
Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/12.222.14.61|12.222.14.61]] 21:21, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
:Two ways I know of:
:* Independent of the API, you can just add <code>action=raw</code> as an argument in the URL and it will return the page: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?action=raw for example]
:* Using the API, the API documentation gives you [[API:Main_page#A simple example|an example]] of exactly that. [[User:Clump|Clump]] ([[User talk:Clump|talk]]) 21:52, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

== Create a link to a redirect without redirecting ==

I want to create a link to a page with a redirect but not follow the redirect.

For example:
If I was on Wikipedia I would use [[RGB]] to link to the page titled RGB
RGB redirects to [[RGB Color Model]]
How would I link to [[RGB]] without the user following the redirect on that page?

I came up with [//{{SERVERNAME}}/w/index.php?title=RGB&redirect=no] but it has a little external link arrow at the end [[Special:Contributions/134.60.116.21|134.60.116.21]] 21:21, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
:You can only use the external link syntax for that. To skip the icon on the link, wrap it inside an element with class="plainlinks":

== "Signing" a mediawiki page? ==

Hey,

we are using Mediawiki to manage our company's quality management. We are documenting our processes, etc.

Now we want to move our fault management to the wiki. so that everybody can record erros in processes, etc.
Also we want to record meeting protocols where we are discussion that previously recorderd errors.
In the paper-based system, every employee had to sign the protocol (so that employess that were to present at the meeting had to read the protocol).

Unfortunately I have no idea how to convert this into the wiki?
Has somebody an answer/hint for that problem?

Help is very appreciated!

== redirecting to main page: main page does not exist? ==

Hi,

I want to redirect a page named 'Hauptseite' to my main page. The article Hauptseite therefore consists in the single line
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[main page]]</nowiki>

However I always get the message 'page does not exist' although my main page is displayed as 'main page' and its URL is .../wiki/index.php5/Main_Page . Is there a special name or name space for the main page?

== [RESOLVED] Help about formatnum magic word ==

Hello, I have one question and one (probable) bug report, both related to "formatnum:".
# In the [[Help:Magic_words#Formatting|magic words help page]], it is said that "[formatnum:] Takes an unformatted number [...] and outputs it in the localized digit script and formatted with decimal and decimal group separators, according to the wiki's default locale.". Does only the numbers on the left of the dot (eg: in <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:98765.4321}}</nowiki></code>, the "98765" part) can be formatted according the wiki's local, OR the numbers on the right of the dot (eg: in <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:98765.4321}}</nowiki></code>, the "4321" part) can be formatted too?
# In the French wiki, the <code>|R</code> parameter seems not working: as it can be seen in my [//fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Wikini/Brouillon#bug sandbox], the code <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:987654.321}}</nowiki></code> answers (correctly) "987 654,321", but the code <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:987 654,321|R}}</nowiki></code> does not provide the initial string (ie: "987654.321"), but provides "987 654.321". One can note that the code <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:{{formatnum:987654.321}}|R}}</nowiki></code> works well.

Hi folks,

I am trying to implement an auto login function into my mediawiki by using their windows credentials. I am using Apache Server.

I have implemented the Auth remoteuser extension and has implemented the mod_auth_sspi.so in my httpd.conf file and has configure it to be as follows

<pre><IfModule !mod_auth_sspi.c>
LoadModule sspi_auth_module modules/mod_auth_sspi.so
</IfModule>
</pre>

<pre><Location "file/to/path">
Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "TestWeb"
AuthType SSPI
SSPIAuth On
SSPIAuthoritative On
SSPIOmitDomain On
SSPIOfferBasic on
Require valid-user
</Location>
</pre>

However, it gives me the prompt to type in the username and password on IE/Firefox/CHrome which I don't want the prompt to appear. I want it to auto login to mediawiki straight without the prompt. Which step am I doing wrong?

How may I achieve the above? Thanks for all assistance! [[Special:Contributions/2401:7400:C800:32AC:B49F:9B0F:5103:9928|2401:7400:C800:32AC:B49F:9B0F:5103:9928]] 15:42, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

::::::::::If it is working on localhost on Chrome and IE then there is nothing wrong with your settings (unless you want to have it also work on non-intranet sites, in which case you would need to enable automatic login on trusted sites and add those sites as trusted sites in the internet options, as well as to the manual Firefox setting).

== How to question: How to get a list of all .svg files, i.e. their really correct locations, on commons.wikipedia. ==

Hi!
I asked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk first (#commonswiki-20150417-all-titles_contains_names_of_deleted_files), and it was suggested that I best try to ask here or at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29 
I try here first.

So I'm searching for all svg-files on wikipedia. While doing this I found out that commonswiki-20150417-all-titles seems to contain deleted files.

For example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:34sassinu.svg
(I don't know what sort of image that is. Obviously.)

So my questions are:

1. Is there another list-file similiar to commonswiki-20150417-all-titles that contains all deleted files, so I could do a cross check?

2. Is there an all-titles list-file that doesn't contain the deleted files?

3. Bonus question: Some of those files in commonswiki-20150417-all-titles have been renamed. In line with the two first questions: How to find out the current name?

I only want to download the svg-files, and not to download like 250% overload. Out of the 20 files I tried around half were renamed.

And some were deleted. Only around 5 were actually to find under the name given in the all-titles file.

By now I would have been faster if I just grabbed a whole wikipedia-dump. :/ But then that I really don't want to do .

== [SOLVED] Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class Profiler in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/profiler/Profiler.php on line 83 (MW 1.25.1) ==

Hi,

I upgraded from MW 1.24.2 to 1.25.1 (from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/applications/openSUSE_13.2/)

<code>sudo -u wwwrun php ./maintenance/update.php --quick --conf ./LocalSettings.php</code> did run smoothly and I had to reinstall some composer managed extensions. No errors so far. But trying to run the wiki on my computer prints out
: Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class Profiler in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/profiler/Profiler.php on line 83
I then tried to narrow down the source of failure, if this may have any relation to my LocalSettings.php, so I deactivated all extensions and settings, only rudimentary wg-variables were active. I even removed my installed composer extensions using <code>/usr/bin/composer.phar remove --update-with-dependencies 'mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki'</code> (etc. for all my composer managed extensions) to check if this fatal error is related but no success. The same fatal error remains.

Any tip, solution or fix? Thank you. [[User:Andreas_Plank|Andreas P.]] [[File:Icon_External_Link_E-Mail.png|link=User_talk:Andreas_Plank]] 09:51, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

== Localization extension (not the wiki loca!) ==

Hi,

I have a wiki for a game which has a lot of localization (go figure..) and because of that I usually have to put Korean names and when English version becomes available I basically have to use ReplaceText extension and manually replace everything. With bigger updates where there are thousands of names this takes too much time (pywikibot is not an option because some items might be using two different loca strings that have the same value and if only one of them is going to be changed a bot working purely on text would replace both).

Because I don't really know anything about programming and can't really create my own extension I am looking for something that would basically do this:
in the text I use something like <nowiki>{{str_dev_name_of_an_item}}</nowiki> and that would be automatically replaced by the name that is defined in some file that contains whole loca (so I would only have to update that one file from time to time and everything in the wiki would update itself).

Since googling localization and mediawiki is more likely find entries about wiki loca I have to ask here if anyone has ever heard of an extension that would work in a similar way or in exactly that way?

Thanks in advance! [[User:Cristal01|Cristal01]] ([[User talk:Cristal01|talk]]) 09:57, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

== Page Protection Options ==

So I'm trying to figure out how to add more options to the access level drop down. I created a moderator group and granted some extra permissions. I want them to be able to lock pages as well as to be able to edit these pages.
However if I lock them as an administrator, my mods can no longer edit them. Also if the moderator trys to lock it, he can not lock restriction to the mod level. The next level is registered users, meaning anyone can still edit the page with the protection on.

So, for this drop down for Allowing edits on a protected page, how do I add an option for my user group "Moderators"?

== Viewing image and uploading image error - memory size ==

When I click on the image found on page:https://wiki.gamepaduniverse.com/wiki/DIY:Xinput_Arduino_Gamepad

I also get the type of error when i try to upload any photo.

I get the following error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2304 bytes) in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\gamepaduniverse.com\wiki.gamepaduniverse.com\w\includes\media\Bitmap.php on line 345

== Set/call wiki version compatibility for extension ==

Hello,

I'm developing an extension for my wiki farm. I want to know how a PHP extension script looks like that has these features:

* Extension is going to call the ''wiki version'' (from <code>/wiki/includes/specials/SpecialVersion.php</code>). If the version is over 1.18 activate the extension, if the version is under 1.18 disable the function automatically or send a (fatal) error message and disallow/disable the extension for ''BlueSpice & Semantic-MediaWiki'' distributions/wikis and allow/activate extension for ''iSC Inc. & MediaWiki'' distributions/wikis:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
// Put the software in an array of form 'name' => 'version'. All messages should be loaded here, so feel free to use wfMessage in the 'name'. Raw HTML or wikimarkup can be used.
$software = array();
$software['[https://inc.isc/ iSC Inc.]'] = self::getVersionLinked();
$software['[https://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki]'] = self::getVersionLinked();
if ( wfIsHHVM() ) {
$software['[http://hhvm.com/ HHVM]'] = HHVM_VERSION . " (" . PHP_SAPI . ")";
} else {
$software['[https://php.net/ PHP]'] = PHP_VERSION . " (" . PHP_SAPI . ")";
}
$software[$dbr->getSoftwareLink()] = $dbr->getServerInfo();
</syntaxhighlight>

=> Extension must get data from <code>/wiki/includes/specials/SpecialVersion.php</code>!!!

I hope somebody can help me. [[User:Suriyaa Kudo|Suriyaa Kudo (iSC Inc.)]] ([[User talk:Suriyaa Kudo|talk]]) 14:23, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

:::Extensions cannot enable and disable themselves. They must be included in LocalSettings.php. If they are, they are ''en''abled, if they are not, they are ''dis''abled. With other words: The version check, which I posted above, will only be executed, if the extension is enabled and it might lead to the result that the extension does nothing except stopping execution. You might call this "disabled", but technically the extension must in fact be ''enabled'' to do that. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.71.17|88.130.71.17]] 15:52, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

== Importing the Wikia source code into a Mediawiki server? ==

Hi, I'd just like to preface this post by saying I have next to know clue really what I'm doing here, I originally just planned on making a wikia the usual way, but unfortunately I can't allow the information I want to store on it to be publicly accessible. Since I'd like to still use a wikia-type interface, I was wondering if there is a way to take the wikia source code they have on git and import it to my mediawiki server I've installed with Bitnami, and how I would do that. I'm using Mediawiki 1.25.1, PHP 5.5.25 (apache2handler) and MYSQL 5.6.23

Again I am utterly new to html, sql, webpage hosting etc. so please keep it as simple as possible for me please! Thank you for your time. [[User:Takurudesu|Takurudesu]] ([[User talk:Takurudesu|talk]]) 11:03, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

== [RESOLVED] CSS bug or ? ==

I'm trying to change color layout.
In [[Mediawiki:Common.css]] (or Vector.css) I've made some changes that work as expected. Apart from one issue. Using an in-line image or fixed image works as expected:

div.vectorTabs span {
background-image: url("data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAABkAQAAAABvV2fNAAAADUlEQVQIHWNoYBgWEACJ5TIB0K9KcAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==");
}
However, a linear-gradient is repeated all over the tab:

div.vectorTabs span {
background-image: linear-gradient( #fff6f6 0%, red 100%);
}
What's wrong?

== MediaWiki search and keywords ==

Dear All.

I have a small internal MediaWiki installation up and running. After a couple of months in service, I got complaints from users saying that they don't get a hit on the expected page when they do a search in the search field of our MediaWiki installation. The reason is obvious - the don't get a hit in the text that's on the page and the content they are looking for. Is there a simple way to add a kind of meta keywords in an article to get a search hit?

I have read about YetAnotherKeywords and considering that option. Other possibilities seem to be CirriusSearch and SphinxSearch, but they seem to be more complicated. What does people use to resolve this issue on a smaller MediaWiki installation?

Regards [[User:Pompelpilt|Pompelpilt]] ([[User talk:Pompelpilt|talk]]) 10:27, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
:To make things a bit clearer:
:* MediaWiki with numerous sites and content
:* User uses search field in order to search for content on page
:* No hit displayed
:* Solution: You want content displayed.
:Correct?

== Exporting a wiki for offline use ==

I would like to export a whole wiki into a format which does not require a working Internet connection to use, does not require a web browser to view, and provides navigation and search facilities. CHM is an example of such format (CHM is a little evil, but it is good as an example nevertheless). What such formats does mediawiki export to, including tools to convert dumps to external formats? [[User talk:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 10:52, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
:I think there is no solution for that.
:MediaWiki content can be exported to XML format. Apart from that you can use the according external tools to create an export, e.g. if you are using MySQL, you can create a MySQL dump. Anyway,all this is targeted at an import into (possibly another) MediaWiki instance.
:What you however ''can'' do is this:
:* Run the wiki on a local machine. This requires Apache, PHP and MySQL to be running. However, this machine can then be offline, meaning it does not have to be connected to the internet.
:* ''The'' tool to view a wiki is a browser. Maybe you can build an exe file or so out of some of the pages - I know there were tools, which ''could'' do that, but anyway: You then will have to run that exe file in order to use the wiki, which technically is not different from running your webbrowser's exe file.

:You should export the wiki as a XML-file and then create out of this export one or more pdf files.

== [RESOLVED] No sysop, bureaucrat, etc. user on a local install ==

I have a local install of MediaWiki 1.15.1 with PHP 5.3.2 and MySQL 5.1.69. Going to Special:ListUsers/sysop shows no users. The only user listed on the wiki is me, but I don't have bureaucrat, sysop or other elevated rights. I want to import the Chart templates, but doing so by hand without elevated user rights is exhausting. I have access to the LocalSettings.php and AdminSettings.php files; neither of them lists any admin, bureaucrat or sysop users. I can grant myself full rights in PHPMyAdmin, but those don't seem to translate to rights from within the wiki itself. I don't know if I somehow managed to delete the root user or if it never existed.

Why ? What should I do to fix this issue, please?

Thanks.

pix is [http://didiermorandi.fr/AAT/inventaire/index.php/Fichier:Atterrisseur_avant_apres.JPG here] and list of pix is [http://didiermorandi.fr/AAT/inventaire/index.php/Sp%C3%A9cial:Liste_des_fichiers there].

:Your [http://didiermorandi.fr/AAT/inventaire/index.php/Fichier:Atterrisseur_avant_apres.JPG 1st] link is the "file page" in namespace 6 (File, Image, or localized "Fichier" in your case.) It contains an "upload history" ("Historique du fichier"). As you said that's empty, your upload contained no comment.
:Your [http://didiermorandi.fr/AAT/inventaire/index.php/Sp%C3%A9cial:Liste_des_fichiers 2nd] link is a special page listing all uploaded files chronologically (newest on top). For 2015-02-28 18:51 this list contains the image for your 1st link, with the same empty upload log, the same timestamp, the same size, etc., all as it should be.
:In other words, there is no newer version of Atterrisseur_avant_apres.JPG on this wiki, the old 2015-02-28 18:51 is still the current version. Wild guess, did you try to upload exactly the same image with a comment? MediaWiki completely drops all balls and marbles it might possess if images have the same hash, just don't try that, it doesn't work as expected.
:My failed experiments with another image on commons: [//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DPI_and_PPI.png c:File:DPI_and_PPI.png], I tried to fix a broken link in my upload 12:17:56 with a revert 12:20:08 and a new upload (correct link in comment) 12:22:03.

== Existing wiki is not detected by performing /mw-config ==

Hi! I was recently installed Math extension into my wiki. The files have already copied to the /extension folder. I have added <code>require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php";</code> to LocalSettings.php. The problem was when I wanted to update the database by performing /w/mw-config, setup could not show the next step, only the intro page was shown. Could you help me how to solve this?

== Possible to have different hashes in database? ==

Hey!

I am wondering if is it possible to have different password hashes in MySQL database?

E.g.

Admin - SHA-256:Salt:Password
User1 - MD5:Salt:Password

Have tried this:

<source lang="sql">
UPDATE `user` SET user_password = CONCAT(':A:', MD5('somepass')) WHERE user_name = 'someuser';
</source>

And it changes the password correspondingly, but after one log in with the user it changes the hash back to SHA-256 (Guess some kind of MediaWiki default.

Any ideas? [[Special:Contributions/195.80.111.109|195.80.111.109]] 12:21, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
:Hi!
:MediaWiki supports different password hashing algorithms. Even if one of these algorithms is set to be the default (SHA-256 in your case), for backwards compatibility it may still be possible to log in with hashes of another format. These older hashes are then updated during login. See [[Manual:User_table#user_password]] for more details! [[Special:Contributions/88.130.103.73|88.130.103.73]] 13:13, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

== white page after search ==

Hello

it have a bit of a problem. I have quite a few articles on my wiki. When i go to a NEW pc and enter the wiki, try to search for something that exists, let's say "Nature" on the wiki the page comes up blank and nothing is shown but a white page. If i search for example "cookie" the page comes up saying that nothing with "cookie" exist and ask if i want to create it.

If i enter a random article on the wiki and from there search for "Nature" the page comes up and no white page is shown, the same happens on the frontpage now if i search for "Nature" i get redirected to the correct page without a white page.

BUT, if i now go to a new computer again and search for "Nature" i get the white page of death until i have enterd any random article, then when i search for "Nature" again i get redirected without the white page

Anyone have any idea why this is ? i have tried to use the "rebuildall.php" script trough SSH but it did not help :/ [[Special:Contributions/192.176.230.1|192.176.230.1]] 07:34, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

== Prevent table tags being translated into entities ==

I am working on a lua module that accepts an undefined amount of arguments to produce a table. I have a template that invokes the module
<pre>{{#invoke:Module|module}}</pre>
I have a row template:

<pre>|-
| {{{1}}}
| {{{2}}}
</pre>

This is how I call the module template:

<pre>{{InvokeTemplate
| {{InvokeTemplate row | data1 | data2}}
}}
</pre>

Finally, the lua module:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
args = frame:getParent().args
t = mw.create.html('table')
t
:tag('tr')
:tag('th')
:wikitext('Header1')
:tag('th')
:wikitext('Header2')
:wikitext(args[1])
return tostring(t)</syntaxhighlight>

Now, the problem is that with this setup, the table layout in the row template is not recognized as wikitext, and instead is returned as is. I tried to use <tr> and <td> tags in the row template, but those tags were translated to HTML entities since it wasn't in a table context. I then tried to use the table creation tags in the invoking template - <code>{{(}}| {{((}}#invoke:Module|module{{))}} |{{)}}</code> - and modifying the lua module to <code>t = mw.create.html()</code>, however then the tags in the lua module were translated to entities. Despite the tags being in a table context, MediaWiki will not acknowledge it. Is there any way for me to force the wiki to not translate the tags - or perhaps there is a better practice to accomplish what I want?

::::LTech did not ask for a wa to do HTTP compression, but he in fact wants to compress images. Smushit does some kind of minification, which reduces the file size ''of the actual image''. It ''does not'' do any HTTP compression (which in fact would help in addition to already having smaller file sizes right from the start).
::::When you upload an image into MediaWiki, you would be able to compress it, if, directly after upload, you could run an ImageMagick command. Does MediaWiki support that?
::::In my test, Smushit reduced the size of a test image by 3%; 97% were still there. A nice little start, but not very impressive. If you really want remarkably smaller image sizes, maybe you should think about lowering the value of [[Manual:$wgMaxUploadSize|$wgMaxUploadSize]]. That would enable you to "force" small image sizes.
::::Another aspect would be to use GZip to compress what later is transferred to the client. However, GZip is not extremely effective on images. Usually, compression is used for things like JavaScripts and CSS styles, not for images. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.114.249|88.130.114.249]] 13:19, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

== Sort pages by something other than single letter. ==

By default MediaWiki sorts categories and pages alphabetically and arranges them under a single letter.

Is there a way to change the single letter to custom words? I don't want to this for category sorting, but it would be nice to do for page sorting within a category/subcategory. For example I have many pages of automotive articles. I would like to sort them by:

- Engine
 
- Suspension
 
- Interior

Instead of the default

- E
 
- S
 
- I

== Not Quite an Error - No Special Pages ==

Hi there, looking for help with a decidedly weird issue with our private installation of MW. Just upgraded to 1.24.1 and now having a very annoying problem. Whenever we try to get to Special pages, they usually show up once but then navigating to another special page or back to one we just had open, we get "No such special page," and the link to valid ones becomes red, too. 
As I said, sometimes it does work (such as after an IISreset) but only for a few seconds/requests, which is how I got this info.

MediaWiki 1.24.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5 
PHP 5.6.5 (cgi-fcgi)

== Image with no link ==

I am trying to display a decorative image that does nothing when clicked on.
I have tried to code it as

Any suggestions? [[Special:Contributions/198.84.240.164|198.84.240.164]] 00:05, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

== Showing images into RSS feeds ==

To whom it may concern,

I posted this a week ago here [[Extension_talk:RSS#Showing_images_into_rss_feeds_54510|Extension talk for RSS]] and it the same problem as described here [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T48443 Sanitizer fails to include image tags if incorrectly written as closed/void tags], but I will post it here in hopes that someone will see it an be able to help me out.

I have RSS feed 2.25.0 installed,

I am trying to get images to be shown in RSS feeds that I have added to a Wiki and I have not figured it out.

So lets say I create a Wiki page for an organisation that also has a Facebook page.
Lets say [https://www.facebook.com/wikipedia Wikipedia has a Facebook page].

Through [http://findmyfacebookid.com/ findmyfacebookid.com] I find out that Wikipedia's Facebook ID is '''33138223345'''.

I can add that number to the back of ''https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id='' to get https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=33138223345 which is the RSS feed of Wikipedia on Facebook.''

so far so good,

now I go back to my wiki and add that feed between {{tag|rss|o}}-tags, so it shows as such <pre><nowiki> <rss max="16">https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=33138223345</rss>
</nowiki></pre>

and it looks pretty good, except when there are images included in the RSS feed posts, they are not shown, just a html code is shown

e.g. this image

[https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQAbFMb77DTthF-D&w=158&h=158&url=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fe%2Fe9%2FWiki_camp_Armenia_2014_flash_mob.png%2F580px-Wiki_camp_Armenia_2014_flash_mob.png]

of Armenia's Wiki Camp shows up like this in the feed section of my wiki:

<pre><nowiki> <img class="img" src="https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQAbFMb77DTthF-D&w=158&h=158&url=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fe%2Fe9%2FWiki_camp_Armenia_2014_flash_mob.png%2F580px-Wiki_camp_Armenia_2014_flash_mob.png" alt="" /> </nowiki></pre>

well that is not that sexy, I want some feeds with images as eye candy, they get more clicks/attention/love.

# So I figure, I need to go into RSS.php file and set the parameter ''$wgRSSAllowLinkTag = true;'' and ''$wgRSSAllowImageTag = true;'' '''it still doesn't work'''
# maybe my wiki doesn't allow external images? so I follow the [[Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages]] instructions and add that with ''$wgAllowExternalImages = true;'' '''it still doesn't work'''
# The code itself is html, I check if it would work to just add {{tag|html|o}}-tags around the {{tag|rss|o}}-tags, '''doesn't work'''
# I copy the code out of the feed and add tags below separately <pre><nowiki> <html> <img class="img" src="https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQAbFMb77DTthF-D&w=158&h=158&url=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fe%2Fe9%2FWiki_camp_Armenia_2014_flash_mob.png%2F580px-Wiki_camp_Armenia_2014_flash_mob.png" alt="" /> </html></nowiki></pre> which renders the image after I set ''$wgRawHtml=true;'' see [[Manual:$wgRawHtml]] '''that works, but doesn't help me'''
# what if I set the [[Manual:$wgAllowImageTag]] to ''$wgAllowImageTag=true;'', now I don't need to set {{tag|html|o}}-tags around {{tag|img|o}}-tags and the images are shown but not in the rss feeds. '''doesn't work'''
# What if I can add {{tag|html|o}}-tags into the subelements of the template for the extension, directly into [[MediaWiki:Rss-item]]? The '''description''' is where the image are that I pulled from Facebook, so if I add {{tag|html|o}}-tags around that parameter? <pre><nowiki> {{$1 | title = {{{title}}} | link = {{{link}}} | date = {{{date}}} | author = {{{author}}} | description = <html>{{{description}}}</html> }}</nowiki></pre> '''doesn't work'''. Maybe around the whole template? <pre><nowiki> <html>{{$1 | title = {{{title}}} | link = {{{link}}} | date = {{{date}}} | author = {{{author}}} | description = {{{description}}} }}</html></nowiki></pre> '''doesn't work'''.
# Then I read through this [[Thread:Project:Support_desk/template_variables_within_html_tags]]. So you need to add <pre><nowiki> {{#tag:html| }} </nowiki></pre> around the parameters. <pre><nowiki> {{$1 | title = {{{title}}} | link = {{{link}}} | date = {{{date}}} | author = {{{author}}} | description = {{#tag:html| {{{description}}} }} }}</nowiki></pre> '''doesn't work'''. Maybe like this? <pre><nowiki> {{$1 | title = {{{title}}} | link = {{{link}}} | date = {{{date}}} | author = {{{author}}} | {{#tag:html| description = {{{description}}} }} }}</nowiki></pre> '''doesn't work'''. Around the whole thing? <pre><nowiki> {{#tag:html| {{$1 | title = {{{title}}} | link = {{{link}}} | date = {{{date}}} | author = {{{author}}} | description = {{{description}}} }} }}</nowiki></pre> '''doesn't work'''.
# Am I changing the wrong template? Maybe the [[MediaWiki:Rss-feed]] instead? there I change the source to <pre><nowiki>; '''[{{{link}}} {{{title}}}]''' : {{#tag:html| {{{description}}} }} : {{{author}}} {{{date}}} </nowiki></pre> '''doesn't work'''. Different <pre><nowiki> ; {{#tag:html| '''[{{{link}}} {{{title}}}]''' : {{{description}}} : {{{author}}} {{{date}}} }}</nowiki></pre> '''doesn't work'''.

I don't know what else I could do? Maybe take earlier version of the extension?
If anyone could help me here I would be grateful. [[User:Lumber Jack second account|Lumber Jack second account]] ([[User talk:Lumber Jack second account|talk]]) 12:24, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

== PDFGenerator + picture not shown (org.xhtmlrenderer:flying-saucer-pdf:9.0.7) FGJKJ ==

Hi all,

We are trying to put a picture inside a PDF file from wiki text.
The methods works well for creating a html document but not for a pdf document.
This is how we proceed for creating our PDF document :

final WikiModel wikiModel = new WikiModel("file://"+inputFolder.getAbsolutePath() +"\\${image}", "#${title}");
String renderedXHTML = wikiModel.renderPDF(builder.toString());

URL url = exportFolder.toURI().toURL();
PDFGenerator gen = new PDFGenerator(url);
gen.create(filename, renderedXHTML, PDF_HEADER, PDF_FOOTER, title, style);

but the picture doesn't appear...

The versions uses are : bliki-core:3.1.0, bliki-pdf:3.1.0

Any help would be appreciated.

== What should I do with the dead web links? ==

Hi.

The question itself if really short and probably asked million times already, but I'm not sure what to do with dead web links. My wiki is now full of dead web links that are reported by <code>Pywikibot/weblinkchecker.py</code>. What are the best practices in this case? I would like to preserve the web links somehow. Should be they just marked with text "dead link"? Or should I just remove the brackets and wrap the web links into the nowiki tag to let them be plain text? Or should I categorize the pages somehow? None of the above seems to be solid and strong.

Thanks in advance. [[Special:Contributions/195.234.75.155|195.234.75.155]] 08:59, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
:Weblinks themselves often are not solid. The saying that cool URLs don't change unfortunately is not taken very seriously by many website owners.
:Anyway, if the information you linked to now is available at another place, you should just replace the links - which might need manual searching of the new URL and then possibly using something like [[Extension:ReplaceText]] to fix it. You might also want to check, if archive.org has the according page archived.
:For links, which are not fixable, maybe you can put them into ref-tags - that way they will still be there, but just as a small footnote. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.108.145|88.130.108.145]] 13:11, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for the recommendations. Web archive is a very good option since the dead web links still refer old "web 1.0" sites. I'm not sure if I can find that info anywhere else because the referenced information is a sort of unique information. Regarding the ref tags: as far as I understand, the ref-tagged links will still be reported by the web links checker script. I would like to have something like page-baked/printed web links or so (I mean, the web links mentions should be kept somehow, not necessary to be a real link), because those links are a point of interest in the articles. [[Special:Contributions/195.234.75.155|195.234.75.155]] 14:53, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
:::Yes, ref-tags still produce links and so I would expect that they are still recognized as broken by that script.
:::So, if I understand you right, you want to keep the links (kind of for historic reasons), but they should not be recognized as broken and they do not necessarily have to be clickable as they only lead to a 404 page anyway.
:::One possibility (of which I do not know, if it works) would be: If the checker script has a way to recognize links, which it should ''not'' check (e.g. by adding a class to the links or so), then you could change your links that way.

== [RESOLVED] "MediaWiki does not function when magic quotes are enabled" error with magic quotes disabled ==

Upgrading from 1.12 to 1.24.1 and I'm receiving

"Exception from line 61 of /public_html/wiki/includes/WebRequest.php: MediaWiki does not function when magic quotes are enabled.

Backtrace:

#0 /public_html/wiki/includes/Setup.php(544): WebRequest->__construct()
#1 /public_html/wiki/includes/WebStart.php(121): require_once(string)
#2 /public_html/wiki/mw-config/index.php(36): require(string)
#3 {main}"

when I attempt to run mw-config/index.php. Magic quotes are off in the php.ini.

Trying to go to the main index just gives a "Fatal exception of type MWException".

I'm running PHP 5.3.27, if that makes a difference, and I've read and tried everything I could find, but I'm not sure what all I can do with only FTP and web access.

== Extremely Slow PPFrame_DOM::expand ==

My Mediawiki pages are loading Extremely slow. a 2 minute+ page load time is not uncommon for any page that uses templates. simple page loads relatively quickly. I have gone through every performance enhancing technique for mediawiki to optimize it.

I setup debugging and turned on profiling. The biggest and most common slow culprit appears to be PPFrame_DOM::expand.

== Not expanding a template on the page it's written in ==

I'm editing in he.wikisource, and we use alout the parser function #קטע (I'm not sure what's the english version, I think it's section from [[Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion|this]] extention). Because of the extended use of this function, quite a few pieces of text are shown in different places than where they are actually written. A need for a template that will be expanded on pages that are not the page on wich the text is written has raised, and the current solution used is to pass the page name as a parameter, and to check it in the expantion. This method has a critical inpact on the readability of the editing page, and I hope someone can suggest a better solution.

== Creation of Portals ==

Hello,

I'm quite new to MediaWiki and have created a Portal Page called:

/wiki/index.php/Portal:Topic

Following the instructions on the MediaWiki site I have checked that I have created a NameSpace called Portal, and the the parser is enabled.

However I have added '{{subst:box portal skeleton}}' to the page, and saved it. When I view the page I just see the text '{{subst:box portal skeleton}}' rather than the red boxes I am apparently supposed to see so I can edit it.

Can anyone help?

Thank you

== Database Error on Redirect ==

Hello all,

I installed a Mediawiki on my website today to use for my and my friends for our Dungeons and Dragons campaign.
However, when I try to redirect one page to another (using #REDIRECT [[page name]]), I get a Database Error, and I have not been able to find someone with similar problems (sorry if I overlooked something).

The error is as follows: 
*Query:
REPLACE INTO `mw_redirect` (rd_from,rd_namespace,rd_title,rd_fragment,rd_interwiki) VALUES ('194','0','Kalender_van_het_Ene_Licht','','')

I developing a media wiki extension as well a mobile app. that works together. The mobile app. scan a QR code and make a request to a special page of this extension.

== Manage Interwikis with central user DB ==

Hello,

I linked a few Wikis running different languages with the $wgSharedDB parameter. Editing and all that stuff works, but I can't administrate the other language Wikis, when I'm logged in the central wiki (where the users are created/stored). I always need to remove the $wgSharedDB parameter temporarily to log on locally at the Wiki which needs to be administraded.

For example:
In each LocalSettings.php I have the paramter "$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['interwiki'] = true;" But I can only edit the central interwiki list, not the one of the linked Wikis.

== Cannot save page after having updated it ==

I work with
Version 1.21.1
PHP 5.3.29 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL 5.5.42-log

my wiki: www.zauber-pedia.de

My problem: I update a page and want to save it, but it is not possible. I get this message: ''Service Temporarily Unavailable''

''The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.<nowiki>''</nowiki>''

I found out that this happens with pages in which I have written an URL, starting with "http://...". If I delete just these letters I can save the page. But this happens not everytime. The problem rises only from time to time.

Similar problem with pictures ending ... jpg. If I convert to ... png I can save the page. But, as mentioned, the next das I can uploag jpg and I can save a page containing a link with "http:/..."

Once again to make my problem cear: one day I can save a page which contains an URL starting with http:// and I can also upload a picture ending ..jpg. (both in different pages). Next day I cannot do so anymore. I cannot edit the page and save it. I cannot upload a jpg.

Any help is appreciated. Kassner [[User:Kassner|Kassner]] ([[User talk:Kassner|talk]]) 22:36, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

== Patrolling older articles ==

It seems that a patroller or admin can only mark edits "patrolled", if they were created before the user had the user rights. But with small wikis where theres a lot of older edits that are not parolled, these can not be marked, and therefore the lsit can never ble cleaned up, examples [https://sv.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Senaste_%C3%A4ndringar&days=30&from=&hidepatrolled=1&limit=500 sv.wikivoyage.org], [https://species.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=30&from=&hidepatrolled=1&limit=500 +2239 Unpatrolled pages on Wikispecies].

Can the user right be changed so it covers longer time back, or likevise?

Or is there any other solution for this?

:I am not completely sure, if I understand what you mean: Do you say that a patroller can only patrol a revision, if this revision was created ''before'' the patroller got the patrol user right? Or can he only patrol it, if it was created ''after'' he got that right?
:Anyway, this is not how patrolling is intended to work. If one of the above is the behaviour you see, I would consider this a bug or at least a configuration problem. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.103.126|88.130.103.126]] 17:00, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
::Patrollers (and admins) seems only to be able to patrol files that was created after the user got that right?
::The user can be that the older files are unpatrolled, they are marked with the red mark ! (This edit has not yet been patrolled) but the user cant mark that file as patrolled?
::Which means that some wikis will have thousands of unpatrolled files that never gets patrolled, in case of all admins and patrollers got their user rights after the file was created or edited? [[User:Dan Koehl|Dan Koehl]] ([[User talk:Dan Koehl|talk]]) 17:23, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
:::So the problem is that a patroller can only patrol revisions, which were created, ''after'' he got the patrol user right.
:::I see that wikivoyage and wikispecies are affected so I guess that most likely this is also an issue for other wikis.
:::Patrolling is part of the MediaWiki core and quickly skimming through the source code I have not found any "time restriction"...
:::Are you sure that this actually depends on ''the date'' on which the user got the patrol right? I mean this date is not stored in the user_groups table. You could only obtain it by doing some more complex queries to the log table, which most likely would have bad performance. I guess that this is not what is going wrong here...

:::::What I do is guessing currently - I do not have an explanation for what you see. I have now tested that in one of my wikis and there I ''do see'' the patrol links with a user whom I just gave that user right a few seconds ago.
:::::Are you the first or the only user with the patrol user right?
:::::Maybe the problem is that for old revisions the "patrolled" field (rc_patrolled) is somehow set incorrectly. If there are other users with the patrol right, please contact one of them. This user most likely got the user right at another time than when you got it. I am interested in the situation for files, which have been created or edited inbetween. What about these files?

== skins.vector.style module error => CSS not loading for Vector Skin ==

Hello,

MediaWiki : 1.24.1,
PHP : 5.4,
MYSQL : 5.1 (not sure though)

'''My problem :''' while using rewriterule, and doing some mistakes in the way, I lost the ability to use Vector skin. Problem is, it somehow corrupted something and since then, the CSS does not load anymore.
I tried the usual workarounds found here and there like adding <code> "RewriteRule ^(api|load)\.php - [L]" </code> but it did not help at all.
All the other skins work perfectly.

When I load the page with Vector Skins I have a 200 OK status.
street-hypnose.fr/w/load.php?debug=true&lang=fr&modules=mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint%2Cshared%7Cmediawiki.skinning.interface%7Cmediawiki.ui.button%7C%27%27%27skins.vector.styles%27%27%27&only=styles&skin=vector

However, when I see what I get in the CSS file, I get this :

Problematic modules: {
'''"skins.vector.styles": "error"'''
}
// the rest is okay

If I try to use the same load.php url, but instead remove the skins.vector.styles module in SkinVector.php, there is no error anymore. If I change it with skins.monobook.styles, it loads some CSS.

I tried to delete every single files from the Vector folders and put them in again from a fresh downloaded zip but the module seems to be "elsewhere".

How can I restore the skin.vector.styles so it can load the CSS correctly ?

The URL of my Wiki (in french) :
It's : street-hypnose.fr/wiki

:As far as I see, load.php basically is displaying CSS codes (and not a wiki page). That - and the fact that it's working for other skins - indicates that your RewriteRules do not break this (at least not currently).
:This is a link to see the problem: <nowiki>http://street-hypnose.fr/wiki/Accueil?useskin=Vector</nowiki> With &debug=true I get the error:
:<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>Problematic modules: {
"'''skins.vector.styles'''": "missing"

</syntaxhighlight>
:This error happens in includes/resourceloader/ResourceLoader.php when MediaWiki tries to get the module "skins.vector.styles".
:The definition for skins.vector.styles is in skins/Vector/Vector.php where the skin registers itself in $GLOBALS['wgResourceModules']['skins.vector.styles'].
:As a first fix, I would try doing a TRUNCATE on the objectcache table in the database. This will remove cached stuff and should force MediaWiki to regenerate the skin styles from the base files. [[Special:Contributions/88.130.103.126|88.130.103.126]] 02:25, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

:If you have a current backup, which still includes a working state, that would be ideal. I guess this backup must then come from december, from before you did the mentioned upgrade. If not too much has changed in the DB since then, you should take that one and run the update.php script on that undamaged DB again.
:If you do not have such a backup or if there were too many changes in between, you can try fixing/ignoring them manually as mentioned above. But in that case you cannot be sure that your DB afterwards will be in an unbroken state - for example the index lc_lang_key will currently be wrong as well, which you had not gotten an error message about.

== Making categories show above subcategories on Category Pages ==

Hi everyone,

Mediawiki installation 1.23.6

On category pages, I am trying to rearrange the items rendered. I would like to have the categories show up before the subcategories. But as per the default configuration sub categories show up above the categories.

I would like to reverse this order.

Can this configuration be set in Localsettings.php or somewhere else.

Thanks in advance.

== [RESOLVED] Is it possible to force MediaWiki update a certain Category:XXX page? ==

Hi.

Is it possible to force MediaWiki update a certain Category:XXX page? For example, a lot of pages used templates that referred a category "Templates" causing every such page to be included to the "Template" category. That's obviously wrong. I have already fixed the templates by wrapping the "Templates" category into the noinclude tag, so now every page that use these templates are no longer categorized as "Templates". That's fine.

Article source:
<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>

Template source BEFORE the fix:
This page is a stub
<nowiki>[[Category:Templates]]</nowiki>
Rendered article BEFORE the fix:
This page is a stub
Categories: Templates | Stubs
Category Templates BEFORE the fix:
Article
Template:Stub

Template source AFTER the fix:
This page is a stub
<nowiki><noinclude>[[Category:Templates]]</noinclude></nowiki>
Rendered article AFTER the fix:
This page is a stub
Categories: Stubs
Category Templates AFTER the fix:
Article <--- this is wrong
Template:Stub

But the list in the Category:Template seems to be frozen for really long time. I do remember that I had a similar case a half year ago, and I clearly watched the number of pages decreased slowly, but constantly. Now it got stuck. Is any categorization update status page available? (I'm almost sure that I remember someone told me it's performed by a background job) Or what am I doing wrong?

::Is your wiki public? A link to it may help us test the problem.
::When editing a page, view the HTML source of the page from the browser, and find two hidden inputs, that should be near the edit area:

== Template Param Within Div ==

I am using MediaWiki 1.24. I am brand new to MediaWiki but loving it so far but realize I have a lot to learn. I created a template which looks like this:

<div style="min-height: 32px; border-top: 1px solid #AAAAAA; border-right: 1px solid #AAAAAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAAAAA; border-left: 10px solid #3466A5; background-color: #fbfbfb; padding: 7px 7px 7px 15px;">[[File:icon-console-small.png|220x220px]]<pre style="margin-left: 15px; font-size: 120%; display: inline; border: 0; padding: 0;">{{{1}}}</pre></div>

However, the {{{1}}} param does not work and I read that the param cannot be between XML type tags. If that is the case, how would I write the above template so the param would work? I searched for an answer here first but was unable to find anything.

I am unable to provide a URL to my wiki because it is an internal IT knowledgebase which does not have external access.

It's extension tags where variables don't work, not HTML tags. The reason it doesn't work is <code><nowiki><pre></nowiki></code> is actually an extension tag (which nowiki's the input before outputting the actual HTML pre tag).

You can use the <code>{{#tag}}<code> parser function to use pre (or any extension tag) with variables: <code><nowiki>{{#tag: pre | {{{1}}} | style = color:red }}</nowiki></code>

Another way is to put an empty HTML comment right after the word pre (<code><nowiki><pre style="color:red">{{{1}}}</pre></nowiki></code>), which tricks the parser into ignoring it as a extension tag and instead output it at as a normal HTML element, but it's a bit of a hack really.

== Looking for a wiki about a wiki with Javascript ==

Been trying to figure out where to even find information on this.

Got a wiki up and running, and added semantic to be able to do some more stuff. Now I want the data that I added using semantic to generate some fancy graphics using javascript.
My problem is as follows.

I can't find much in the way of information how to embed javascript in mediawiki.
Got as far as that it needs to be added to MediaWiki:Common.js.

But are there examples. In my case, how to call a function deffined in Common.js
Secondly (and this probably does not belong here, but thought I might be lucky)
How would I go about running a SMW ask and get the data to the javascipt rather than generate the page. I have managed to get it into an array, but just don't know if that array can be accessed or if I need to do some JSON magic or similar. [[Special:Contributions/81.148.149.3|81.148.149.3]] 11:10, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
:With SMW ask you should generate an HTML table, or list, and with JavaScript look at that structure to gather the data. It can't generate JavaScript code directly.
:For example, assume it generates a table inside a div with class "graphicdata":
:<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
$(function() {
$('.graphicdata').each(function() {
var data = $.map($.makeArray($(this).find('table').eq(0).find('tr')), function(val, i) {
if (i == 0) {
// Skip the first row (we assume it's the header)
return;
}
return {
col1: $(val.cells[0]).text(),
col2: $(val.cells[1]).text()
};
});
generateGraphic(data);
});

== [RESOLVED] Can't create pages in custom namespace ==

Hello, 
I installed a wiki (1.24) which worked just fine. 
I created various custom namespaces via LocalSettings. 
When I now try to create a page in one of these namespaces, the page gets created in the main namespace.
Lets say I create the page: MyNamespace:Examplepage, I can already see in the editing URL that the page gets created in the main namespace 
secretwiki.com/index.php?title=Examplepage&action=edit 
instead of 
secretwiki.com/index.php?title=MyNamespace:Examplepage&action=edit 
does anyone has an idea what this could be? 

When I select to move a page, I can see the various created namespaces, so I guess they are installed correctly. 
But when i manually try to move a page to one of these namespaces, it says that origin and destination is the same, and therefore can't move the page.

:See [[Manual:Preventing access]]. basically, a wiki is not made to have per-namespace read protection. That information could be leaked in a lot of different ways.

== [RESOLVED] Clicking on Images ==

I am running MediaWiki 1.24.1 , PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.7, MySQL 5.5.41-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.

When I click on a image in any template I might use - I now choose Template:Auto images at Wikipedia , for example located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Auto_images
Clicking on the image it is then screened from URL - ...../...../Template:Auto_images#/media/File:example.jpg which shows the original size image in my browser and allows a slideshow-like possibility when there is more than on image on the page.

In my wiki, after creating a page with loaded image, I click on the image and
the image is then screened from URL - ..../mediawiki/index.php/File:example.jpg and only by clicking on "Original file" do I get the full image in my browser - URL - ..../mediawiki/images/example.jpg

Two questions:
1) How do I make my wiki behave like the Template:Auto images, and screen "full size" "Original size" image in the browser ?
2) Clicking on the "Original size" link the URL shows ..../mediawiki/images/example.jpg , but the directory /usr/share/mediawiki/images/ is empty ? [[Special:Contributions/176.253.30.21|176.253.30.21]] 10:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

$wikiText='<div>'.$input.'</div>';

#let's parse it
$newParser=new Parser();
$res=$newParser->parse($wikiText,$parser->getTitle(),$parser->getOptions())->getText();

#return
return $res;
}

#end of class

}

#Now register the tag:

$wgHooks['ParserFirstCallInit'][] = 'myClass::ExtensionSetupParserFunction';

</pre>

Now let's use this tag:

<pre><mywiki-tag>input</mywiki-tag>a
<mywiki-tag>input</mywiki-tag> a
</pre>

The html corresponding to the first line:

<nowiki><div>input</div> a</nowiki>

The second line has an extra pre tag around 'a':

<nowiki><div>input</div><pre> a</pre></nowiki>
.

In the rendering function, if we remove the div tags and just parse the input directly then everything is OK. Any idea what's going on here? [[User:Mfort123|Mfort123]] ([[User talk:Mfort123|talk]]) 20:30, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
:Another question would be: What is the reason to do that? Why you would parse a text inside a parser tag? You shouldn't need to do this, maybe you could explain a little bit further, what you really want to do :) [[User:Florianschmidtwelzow|Florianschmidtwelzow]] ([[User talk:Florianschmidtwelzow|talk]]) 23:55, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
::For my purpose, the tags are better than templates or a parser function. Anyhow, can anyone explain the behavior that I'm getting with even the simplest of tags (as above). It appears that there is a bug. [[Special:Contributions/76.68.156.239|76.68.156.239]] 01:19, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

== What will happen if I rename a user to an IP address? ==

Someone ask me to rename his/her username to "127.0.0.1", is there any potential dangers? [[User:一個正常人|一個正常人]] ([[User talk:一個正常人|talk]]) 07:53, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

::MediaWiki internally stores the information whether a user, who was logged in, did an action, or if the user had ''not'' been logged in. With this criterion it should still be possible to differentiate whether an edit was done by that according user account or by an IP user.
::Anyway, IP addresses are not considered acceptable user names for MediaWiki. It will be possible to confuse a username, which is an IP address, with a user with the actual IP address. For example the links pointing to the contribution pages of a user/IP address will look the same for both the IP address and the user account, which ''has the name'' of that IP address.
::A username of 127.0.0.1 also is misleading as it points to the actual ''server'', not a user, doing an action.
::[//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restrictions)#Restrictions_on_usernames en:Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restrictions)#Restrictions_on_usernames] makes me think that it is technically impossible to give user accounts such names. Even if it was technically possible, I would ''not'' give users user names, which also are IP addresses (among them 127.0.0.1). [[Special:Contributions/88.130.108.15|88.130.108.15]] 15:43, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
:::I finally have this conclusion:
:::It should technically be impossible to rename user accounts to IP address names. We already see that e.g. the contribution page cannot differentiate properly between both, if an account had an IP address name. Since the developers have spent time in making it impossible to rename accounts that way, I think it is currently not possible to say whether there additionally to other issues, whether there will also be security problems arising from such a renaming. Until now the "solution" for that was to forbid the according renaming, not to solve the security issue. So if not even the often-used contribs page cannot handle IP user names properly, then we definitely cannot say that it would by secure to use those. We just don't know.
:::So you can do the following: See, if you '''can''' rename the user accordingly and if that is possible report it as a bug with unknown security implication to the bugtracker! [[Special:Contributions/88.130.108.15|88.130.108.15]] 16:02, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
::::The first question is: How do you want to rename the name of the user? MediaWiki doesn't support this functions out of the box, so if it's possible or not is a question of the way you want to do it. Technically it shouldn't be possible to rename a user to an IP-adress.

== How configuration Babel for MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle ==

Hi
I want MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle but Seems like it should to check that the configuration matches your wiki's format so I saw Extension:Babel
But what I did not realize you could help me? [[User:Wikimech org|Wikimech org]] ([[User talk:Wikimech org|talk]]) 07:57, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

== $_SESSSION in extension ==

Hi all,

I would like to use the typical $_SESSION[] that I have been using in php, but when I try to use in a media wiki extension, specifically in a special page disappears. This is, I want to store one variable in the $_session, one special page is showed, and then when other special page is showed in that computer and with this session, to access to this variable. How I can do that, what is the proper way to store and work with session in extensions??

Thanks in advance,
David. [[Special:Contributions/84.44.187.218|84.44.187.218]] 17:37, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
:You could use the <code>$_SESSION[]</code> global variable directly or use <code>[https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/html/classWebRequest.html#aaef49305a579aab3fbab03bcb54f0341 WebRequest::getSessionData()]</code>. In special pages you should check, if the session is already set up, e.g. like SpecialUserlogin.php does it:

== Duplicates ==

Hi! Thanks for this great extension first of all. I'm sure I'll find many ways to utilize it. I just instaled on http://en.wikiarquitectura.com and it works almost fine. The only issue is that any text I include is printed 5 times on the site... any clue what might be going on? Thanks! (guillermo@wikiarquitectura.com)

The site is http://en.wikiarquitectura.com, I’ve you check any random article I’m sure you’ll understand what I mean. Thanks again for getting back to me.

:::You mean, like adding your Template:AdsenseHead and AdsenseFoot? Sorry, I don't know how to add wiki code before or after an article. But you could replace AdsenseFoot with something set in $wgPCRguii_Inserts['BeforePageDisplay']. I don't know for AdsenseHead, there might be a hook there but I didn't find it yet. [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 07:01, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
::::I was thinking in including some kind of javascript code to show where AdesenseHead and AdsenseFoot show right now, not wiki code.

==rename and move this extension==
Acronyms always should be avoided. This extension has so much promise and is so incredible, but it is advertised poorly. I attempted to rewrite some of the text, making it more understandable about what this awesome extension does. [[User:Adamtheclown|Adamtheclown]] 08:03, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, nice rewrite (except maybe you shouldn't try to get what's within ''source'' tags inside ''nowiki'' tags ;)) but how do you suggest I rename it? GUI isn't really an unusual acronym I think, but I agree that it's not really the proper term to describe what the extension does... Yet it's the only word that came to my mind to summarize all the places where the extension can write stuff. [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] 08:30, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
I have MediaWiki 1.19.0, PHP 5.3.10 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.49. skin vector on a personal NAS Synology DS 212 http://78.246.232.150/MediaWiki/index.php/Main_Page
Please how insert Google Translator in the left sidebar ?
Have you the code that i must use ?
Thank you for your answer.

:Hi, I don't know much about Google Translator. What code do they tell you to insert on your page? [[User:Patheticcockroach|Patheticcockroach]] ([[User talk:Patheticcockroach|talk]]) 11:33, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
Google Translator : https://translate.google.com/manager/website/suggestions
Google Analytics is installed on my wiki with PCR GUI Inserts - no problem
To install on my wiki Google Translator the code is in two part

Part I
Paste this code onto your website
Copy and paste the following code snippets onto every page you want to translate
Place this meta tag before the closing </head>

<meta name="google-translate-customization" content="ddd1b51b68f8337b-524a5e84173c7e7d-g184ec49b87a2c056-29"></meta>

Part II
Place this snippet where you'd like to display the Website Translator plugin on your page

<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE, autoDisplay: false}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>

Thank you for your help
Norbert (France)
:Then, if I recall correctly, you'll have to set it like:
<source lang="php">$wgPCRguii_Inserts['addHeadItem']['on'] = true;
$wgPCRguii_Inserts['addHeadItem']['content'] = array
(
'<meta name="google-translate-customization" content="ddd1b51b68f8337b-524a5e84173c7e7d-g184ec49b87a2c056-29"></meta>'
);
$wgPCRguii_Inserts['SkinBuildSidebar']['on'] = true;
$wgPCRguii_Inserts['SkinBuildSidebar']['content'] = array
(
array('Google Translator','<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE, autoDisplay: false}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>')
);</source>
