87.123.56.23: /* Logo compressed, now blurry */

== Caching of the logo ==
The image would not display until I specifically clicked on the image. Initially the image showed up in the edit page only. Restarting apache and reloading the page is not sufficient.
:I have just added this to the manual. --[[User:Jörgi123|Jörgi123]] ([[User talk:Jörgi123|talk]]) 09:51, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

== Relative path didn't work // Another question on how to use $wgScriptPath ==
Can't get relative path to work. Absolute path works fine though.

$wgLogo = "http://i-okul.net/i-okul_simge.png";
Works fine

$wgLogo = "skins/common/images/logo-snf.png";

Does not work at all

== Using a larger logo ==
Another Noob needs detail on "modifying the site CSS" I would like to use a larger logo.
:The possible sizes are determined by the design of the according skin.Using a bigger logo is not currently supported. --[[User:Jörgi123|Jörgi123]] ([[User talk:Jörgi123|talk]]) 10:00, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

==SELinux security context==
I too had this issue where the image would not display using the correct syntax. In my case it was caused by using the improper SE Linux context for the file, which was assigned to it when I scp'd the file to the server. To correct change context with this command:
chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t logo.png

== 9 May 2007 ==

I struggled with this until I realized you can't use the variables $wgUnloadPath or $wgUploadDirectory in the script. I set the $wgLogo variable to the absolute path instead and it worked fine:

$wgLogo = "/wiki/images/Wiki_logo.gif";

--[[User:Tamouse|Tamouse]] 23:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks. Phew! (this php thing is pure evil) I gave up short URLs already lol, but I needed a logo lol. [[User:354d|354d]] 09:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

==Where to edit LocalSettings.php==
For a logo at <nowiki>C:\wamp\www\mywikipedia\skins\common\images\mywikilogo.png</nowiki> put an entry like this at the '''bottom''' LocalSettings.php
$wgLogo = "$wgScriptPath/skins/common/images/mywikilogo.png";

This has to be '''after''' the line where $wgScriptPath is defined.

Using $wgStylePath no longer works in 1.11, I understand, because of a change in DefaultSettings.php.
[[User:Svanslyck|Svanslyck]] 18:59, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

== Why simply overwriting the default image is bad advice ==

It took me ages to get the logo working but now have success. In this version the directory includes /skins/ directory which is absent in the syntax listed in this page

The path should be: mediawiki/skins/common/images

Just rename the current image wiki.png to wikiOLD.png (in case you need to replace

Then upload to this same directory a new image 135px x 135px and rename to wiki.png

It will then work

- oh if you find the logo does not appear (and no logo is appearing) check you local settings file has the $wgLogo variable commentted out with a hash

: This is very bad advice! ''Never'' use this method of changing the logo. Instead you should upload your image to your server and set $wgLogo to point to that location, as described in the manual page. This applies to ''all'' versions of MediaWiki from the very beginning up to the latest development branch. --[[User:HappyDog|HappyDog]] 10:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

== Documentation is inaccurate ==

What the documentation says to do does not work.
The correct way to write in the $wgLogo variable is:

$wgLogo = "$wgScriptPath/skins/common/images/wiki.png";

Where wiki.png can be changed to the name of your png logo image. Make sure you put your image in that folder the path points to!
Hope this solves your frustrations.--[[Special:Contributions/98.207.22.59|98.207.22.59]] 00:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:Maybe it depends on what version your mediawiki using at, which in my case, version 1.12.0., it doesn't work at all. the only thing that worked here is replacing mediawiki logo with yours. Agree, the instruction is useless--[[Special:Contributions/125.163.0.97|125.163.0.97]] 10:47, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

::Not sure what you're talking about: All the article says you should do is not leave the path at its default. (The default value listed was incorrect, however.) —[[User:Emufarmers|Emufarmers]]([[User talk:Emufarmers|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/Emufarmers|C]]) 19:59, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

== Random Logo ==

The following code, added to your LocalSettings.php file, will randomize your site's logo. A different logo (random) will appear for each page:
<source lang="php">
$logoNames[] = "Logo01.png";
$logoNames[] = "Logo02.png";
$logoNames[] = "Logo03.png";
$logoNames[] = "Logo04.png";
$logoNames[] = "Logo05.png";

$wgLogo = "/myWiki/skins/common/images/" . $logoNames[array_rand($logoNames)];
</source>
Simply create your logos, put them in the proper directory (/skins/common/images in the above example), and modify the LocalSettings.php file.

I don't think this should add too much overhead to page loads. -[[User:Cedarrapidsboy|Cedarrapidsboy]] 16:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

:As there is no skins/common/ folder in current versions anymore, the paths for the files have to be changed, but the basic idea should still be working. Note however that nowadays, the CSS code, which contains the path to the logo, gets included using load.php. The according content gets cached inside a MediaWiki cache. After that, it will no longer be really random as it would be, if <tt>$logoNames[array_rand($logoNames)]</tt> would really be executed on every single page hit. Instead, you will each time see the cached version - until the according cache expired. --[[User:Jörgi123|Jörgi123]] ([[User talk:Jörgi123|talk]]) 09:55, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

== how to make this work 100% of the time. ==

i run a number of mediawiki instances on bsd, ubuntu, and oel. each is slightly different in its implementation, especially ubuntu who breaks the installation up and symlinks the different parts together. the problem is that the $wgScriptPath and $wgStylePath go to different locations depending on the system you are on, and how mediawiki was installed. basically, they are unreliable.

the key is to set $wgLogo to the relative path from your domain's [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#documentroot DocumentRoot]. [this is an apache directive, not mediawiki]

the following assumes your logo is '''$WIKINAME/skins/common/images/$LOGONAME.png'''

if your wiki url is '''domain.com/$WIKINAME/''', your config should look like this:
$wgLogo = "/$WIKINAME/skins/common/images/$LOGONAME.png";

if your wiki url is '''domain.com/foo/blah/yakkity/$WIKINAME/''', your config should look like this:
$wgLogo = "/foo/blah/yakkity/$WIKINAME/skins/common/images/$LOGONAME.png";

[[User:Zeefreak|Zeefreak]] 15:40, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:Even better would be to get mediawiki from the [[Download]] page, and avoid the broken distro-specific packages :P. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] 17:01, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

::i agree, but many won't run it that way, especially on ubuntu where <code>sudo apt-get install mediawiki</code> does it all and is automatically upgraded. [[User:Zeefreak|Zeefreak]] 18:00, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

== Why $wgLogo and not CSS? ==

I tried to display a different logo for different namespaces.
The solution I came up with:

To allow a different Logo for different namespaces, modify
<code>$wgScriptPath/skins/Monobook.php</code>. Search for "background-image" (only one occurrence) and remove:

style="background-image: url(<?php $this->text('logopath') ?>);"

now the Logo can be set in [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]], e.g.
<pre>
#p-logo a {
background-image: url("http://younameit");
}

.ns-100 #p-logo a {
background-image: url("http://younameitdifferently");
}
</pre>

'''Why is the logo set via localSetting.php instead of css?'''
No hubris, I'm asking because I think there is a catch to my hack.
:Note, your hack will still work without editing Monobook.php if you add !important to your style rules. I would assume the logo is done with a variable since Mediawiki is supposed to be configured generally using LocalSettings.php, not the css files. Also some skins may use a different method of outputting the logo that is incompatible with what you're doing. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] 11:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
::Thank you. I did not read the CSS specs right. Now I know highest specificity by style attribute can be overridden by !important. Franky, 22:48 15 Aug 10 UTC

== Place the new logo in the correct Directory ==
My LocalSettings.php is at /etc/mediawiki and the $ScriptPath points to /usr/share/mediawiki. First, I placed the logo file into /etc/mediawiki and specified the absolute path in the $wgLogo parameter in LocalSettings.php - but the logo was not loaded. Only copying the file to the /usr/share/mediawiki/images and changing the path to the new destination helped.
Can't mediawiki read the /etc/mediawiki folder?
:It has to be a web-accessible path. [[User:Reach Out to the Truth|Reach Out to the Truth]] 21:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

::Actually, on the side of MediaWiki scaling will not happen. Instead, only part of the image will be shown. The manual page says that correctly. Compression ''may'' happen depending on other factors, e.g. when the page is accessed with a mobile device using a mobile connection, e.g. LTE or so. However, these factors are not MediaWiki related. --[[Special:Contributions/87.123.56.23|87.123.56.23]] 09:28, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

== 1.19.1 $wgLogo variable not working==
I had and issue with the logo not showing up for relative path, full url, and using $wgLogo = "";

I had to disable the php apc caching module and now everything works fine. It is probably just a apc config issue, but i am not going to use apc in the mean time for my small deployment.

== API ==

== The $wgLogo seems doesn't wok after I import zh-wiki's dump! ==

After I import dump from zhwiki-20150602-pages-articles.xml.bz2. The logo changed.
I think I just import pages from dump. Why the logo changed?
And what ever I set in $wgLogo, even "". The logo unchanged at all.Anyone can help me? Thanks.

The Special:Setting page show the $wgLogo right. But on normal page, $wgLogo doesn't work at all.

I really not know why!

== Updating an existing page when it's about your company ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Hi,

I'm trying to handle this in the most above-board way possible, so I'm turning to this forum. I'm an employee at a company that has a Wiki page. I got an email from someone today with this message: "
"Thought you'd be interested to know there's a flag on your Wikipedia page. This calls the integrity of your page into question, and negatively impacts your company's credibility." (They claim they can fix this problem -- presumably for a fee). Indeed, the page has these messages on it:
{| class="wikitable"
|This article '''contains content that is written like [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion|an advertisement]]'''. ''(August 2015)''
|}
{| class="wikitable"
|The topic of this article '''may not meet Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guidelines for companies and organizations]]'''.''(August 2015)''
|}
Furthermore, the page is way out of date.

What's the best way to handle this? Make edits myself? Hire an outside person to make edits? Ask a customer to make edits? The page really should be updated, but I don't know how to do so in a way that's acceptable.

All guidance is appreciated!

:First of all, I would suggest looking at the history of that page to make sure that this person who contacted you did not simply add these messages themselves. If they were added very recently, and you are quite sure these tags are inaccurate, you could probably follow the guidelines for [[:en:Help:Maintenance_template_removal|removing this template]].
:I also suggest first making any edits you can make without adding major bias that would bring the page up-to-date. Inevitably, some bias is going to slip in but other people can help with that. Asking customers to help edit directly might not necessarily be a good idea because it sounds like a daunting task, but requesting feedback and incorporating it into the article might help you avoid bias.
:Lastly, it's certainly reasonable to charge money for improving a company's image, but there's no definite guarantee that this individual is unbiased, and any significant amount of money seems unreasonable for improving a company's page on such an easily editable site as Wikipedia.

== Class not found in SpecialPageFactory.php ==
{{Archive top|result=I helped him/her fix the problem so it is all fixed now.|status=resolved}}

I'm just getting started developing an extension, the source for which is hosted [https://github.com/MTres19/mw-extension-git here]. The purpose of the extension is to allow wiki editing through Git. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to progress to actually working on that part since I've run into a problem accessing the special page my extension should create: whenever I access Special:GitAccess or Special:SpecialPages on my wiki (http://hcstechwiki.homenet.org/mw/index.php) I get:

'''Fatal Error:''' Class 'SpecialGitAccess' not found in /...<path>.../specialpage/SpecialPageFactory.php on line '''396'''

I've enabled the Renameuser extension without any trouble, so obviously this is something I'm doing wrong in my extension, but I can't figure out what it might be. I can't find any typos in my extension.json or SpecialGitAccess.php, but it seems that SpecialGitAccess.php isn't being included somehow...

I am running MediaWiki 1.27.1 with MySQL 5.1.73, PHP 5.6.13, and lighttpd 1.4.36.

== Filter on keywords in content in youtube, not in search ==

I was wondering if there was a way to filter on content in description in YouTube, for example, I want to block dog and cat videos

I have Pf-sense with squid guard working so the client gets the cert from the pf-sense server so it can see what otherwise would be encrypted traffic.

IF i do a search with Cat|dog in the filter it will stop the YouTube from showing results, however say i went to a car search and watched a video which had a car video but on the recommendations from YouTube column there was a cat or dog video and i clicked on it , that video will play thru.

is there a way to scan the description of the video etc to see if keywords could be blocked?

== Multipane Editting and Rendering ==

Hi everyone!

I am working on a wiki project for translating music lyrics from language A to language B. I would want the editors to be able to edit the content side by side similar to how Content Translation works. Unlike Content Translation, no new pages should to be created. The content should appear side by side on the same page when viewed by readers.

I would like to ask if there are extensions our there that support this type of editing. If not, is it possible to customize Content Translation to behave in the manner I described above?

== Problem with watchlist - maybe due to some extension ? ==

Versions :
IIS 7
MediaWiki 1.27.1
PHP 5.6.26 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL 5.7.15-log
ICU 57.1

Hi,

I am using many MediaWiki extensions, and am puzzled by one bug I get in Watchlist feature, which I think occur due to those many extensions.

When I click on "List", the URL submitted lacks the parameter "title=Special:Watchlist" and brings me to "Edit" the page I am launching it on. If I add it, it works.

Which extension might be the culprit ?

Here are the suspects :
<nowiki>
ConfirmAccount
Echo
MLEB
UserMerge
Babel
Comments
DynamicPageList
InputBox
MsUpload
ParserFunctions
ApprovedRevs
CLDR
Flow
MobileFrontend

== ePub ==

Yo !

I wondered why there are ePub conversions for the french and english Wikisource, and not for the spanish, so I ask and they told me it was because there aren't any tools in MediaWiki to convert wikitext into epub. It would be great if you could make it.

I'm not sure you can just copy without asking, but a French administrator of Wikisource, named Tpt, made a program that does exactly that. And the English found a trick too (though honestly, I tried both, and Tpt's program is far better for it converts the entire book while the English one just converts one page).

Hope someone will be entertained by the idea, is all. [[Special:Contributions/80.12.35.86|80.12.35.86]] ([[User talk:80.12.35.86|talk]]) 22:44, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

== Background highlighting inside a designated code snippet? ==

Is there a way to background highlight certain words/characters within a code snippet? I've been using <nowiki><pre> and <nowiki> for defining code snippets but they don't allow code to be parsed. I have a lot of code to display but need to bring attention only to small portions of it for the reader's convenience.</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/208.167.254.13|208.167.254.13]] ([[User talk:208.167.254.13|talk]]) 13:29, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
:There's no easy way to do that. Most you can do is start each line with at least one space. This will use monospace font similar to <syntaxhighlight lang='text'> but will allow markup to be parsed. You'll probably need to use <nowiki> when needed to prevent special markup on the code from being parsed.

:Highlighting single characters in preformatted text contradicts the principle of preformatting. Since it's preformatted, there should ''not'' be other styles for that text.
:Another option is installing and using the [[Extension:SyntaxHighlight]], which provides syntax highlighting for complete languages, e.g. for PHP or SQL code. [[Special:Contributions/87.123.33.161|87.123.33.161]] ([[User talk:87.123.33.161|talk]]) 14:27, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
False. <code><nowiki><pre></nowiki></code> just means "don't mess with the white-space"; you're allowed to have HTML inside to add additional formatting. In fact the W3C even uses a <code><nowiki><pre></nowiki></code> tag with a <code><nowiki><code></nowiki></code> tag inside it to mark up pre-formatted blocks of code as an [https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html#the-code-element example].

You can use the comment hack to make pre tags be interpreted as plain HTML rather than an [[Manual:Tag extensions|extension tag]], which allows HTML and wikitext inside.

== Mediawiki with InstantCommons enabled is very slow ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Hello,

I've enabled it on my wiki and pages take more than a minute to load with commons images on it. If I disable InstantCommons, same page loads within 2 seconds and here's the caching I've applied on LocalSettings.php - https://dpaste.de/d3BJ

I see that other wikis using InstantCommons on the Internet don't take so much time to load. Not sure what I have missed, any pointers would help. [[Special:Contributions/49.207.60.101|49.207.60.101]] ([[User talk:49.207.60.101|talk]]) 06:44, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== Suggestion for improving print view page - add Qr Code ==

Hello!

I have an idea for improving print view page (when in URL added parameter &printable=yes).

On each such wikipedia page at the bottom of the page there is Source link, like that one «https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JSON&oldid=81158804<nowiki/>»

It would be very useful if there was a Qr Code of that link too.

Could anybody add Qr code to print view page?

Thank you! [[User:VladGum|VladGum]] ([[User talk:VladGum|talk]]) 08:37, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== User login fail. ==

In one special computer, one user login with wrong password, and then I reset his password.

The problem is , he still can't login with system message: '''changeemail-throttled'''.

The strange thing is:
# I login this account in my computer, it's OK,
# I login my own account in his computer, it's OK
# I login this account in his computer, the '''changeemail-throttled''' message still display and login failed.
Of course, I wait till the 5min pass.

After check the source by '''changeemail-throttled''', som function is here:

incLoginThrottle: I think it is a counter to record user login failed. (this use IP and username)

clearLoginThrottle: I think it is used to clear the failed records

attemptReset: this call clearLoginThrottle in file '''SpecialChangePassword.php'''

I'm not sure, tried '''changepasswork.php''' to reset password of this account again, but in the computer login this account , '''changeemail-throttled''' still display.

I'm totally confuse, how could I do?

By the way, my wiki run without email serverice. [[User:Redlz250|Redlz250]] ([[User talk:Redlz250|talk]]) 08:42, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

:The problem with importing XML dumps is that it inserts revisions at the timestamp they were created, so if a page exists and the last edit is newer than the imported one, the imports won't be the last revision of the page.
:If you're sysop on the wiki, you can delete the template like any other page. But since imports will be in the page history anyway, you can also go to the page history and edit an old revision to bring it as the most recent one.

== TwoFactorAuthentication ==

Hi,

I justed upgraded from 1.19 to 1.27 on ubuntu. I used the LocalSettings.php from the old dir and put it in the new dir. Mediawiki loads up correctly with the articles. I added the TwoFactorAuthentication extension and as instructed for 1.27 I loaded this to the bottom of the LocalSettings.php file:

wfLoadExtension( 'TwoFactorAuthentication' )

But when I go to the main url mediawiki doesn't load up, I looked in the apache logs and it says:

Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '/var/lib/newmediawiki/extensions /TwoFactorAuthentication/extension.json does not exist!' in /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:106\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php(115): ExtensionRegistry->queue('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#1 /var/lib/newmediawiki/LocalSettings.php(171): wfLoadExtension('TwoFactorAuthen...')\n#2 /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/WebStart.php(124): require_once('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#3 /var/lib/newmediawiki/index.php(40): require('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#4 {main}\n thrown in /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php on line 106

I have verified that extensions.json does NOT exists in the '/newmediawiki/extensions/TwoFactorAuthentication'

When I use 'require_once "$IP/extensions/TwoFactorAuthentication/TwoFactorAuth.php";'

in the Localsettings.php mediawiki loads up fine but I don't see the extra box to input the pin number. I must be missing something here. Thanks in advance. [[Special:Contributions/99.27.53.185|99.27.53.185]] ([[User talk:99.27.53.185|talk]]) 15:07, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== Vector search box autocomplete don't work without read group permission for anonymous ==

Hi,

I've just upgrade from 1.24 to 1.27 and the autocomplete in search box with Vector theme no longer works.

After some test I saw that the API return "Permissiondenied" to the request while I was connected.

I found a workaround in setting read permission for anonymous ($wgGroupPermissions['*']['read']= true;) but it's not great because I don't want all the world to see all pages (I have group permissions configured)

Do you have another solution ?

Hi guys!

I am trying to set up a new environment for a old medium MW site with about 15 servers. This site used to throw everything into Memcached.

I understand the $wgMainCacheType should use CACHE_MEMCACHED. But what exactly the '''"local object cache"''' referring to? Is it Localisation cache? How should I set the localsettings.php file to implement the best practice?

== Using a template on my local MediaWiki installation ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

I'm interested in using routemaps:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Routemap

on my local MediaWiki. From what I understand, I think I need my own parser or module?

If I copy example 1.2 into a template on my own system, it does nothing. A box on that page lists 3 modules it uses. It also seems like I would need the graphics themselves. I don't see any routemap addon that someone has created, like some other features I added to my local install, like Google Map functionality.

What's the best way forward with this? Thanks. [[User:Nydepot|Nydepot]] ([[User talk:Nydepot|talk]]) 18:18, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

== Visual Editor - Insert - Media ==

In order to get the visual editor to recognize an uploaded image file, we have to upload the file with the file name having the first letter followed by an underscore in order to get the image file to appear using the Media settings window. For example, "Dog.jpg" will not come up in the display if the letter d is entered, but if we load the file using the file name "D_Dog.jpg" it will appear. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a fix?

== Automatic log out ==

Hi, A few weeks ago I started a Wikitravel account. I had the problem that it kept logging me out and pretending that my user didn't exist (MegaMgala) so I cannot ask for a new password. Then suddenly I stopped having the problem.

Now it logs me in just fine in Spanish but when I switch languages it logs me out again. Also the Spanish version pretends I never made a contribution which isn't the case. Before I could enter the English and Dutch version just fine without the system logging me out. Now I can only log-in to the English and Spanish version seperately and the Dutch version I cannot access at all.

Can anyone tell me what keeps happening? It is really frustrating. It shouldn't be that hard. I can't even

Thank you so much,

Cheers,

:While your account exists in the ''Spanish and English versions'', there is ''no account'' named MegaMgala in the Dutch one. WikiTravel obviously is not using ''one single'' user table, but ''multiple user tables''.
:I think this also is the reason for why you think it logs you out again when you change to a different language: Because it in fact is a ''different account'', which you are using there and while you are logged in with the one, you are not necessarily also logged in with the other. In fact I think this is not even a log out - you just have not been logged in. [[Special:Contributions/87.123.12.224|87.123.12.224]] ([[User talk:87.123.12.224|talk]]) 00:46, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Please see second section (Family and early life). Its wrapped to p tag. But I try to get only second section (index = 1), last paragraph is not wrapped to p tag:

== How to upload image to a remote shared wiki? ==

Hi girls and guys,

Due to some government regulation problem in China. We have to move some wikis with simplified-Chinese to China while others stay in US. We used to use ForeignDBRepo in $wgForeignFileRepos to get all wikis upload and access shared image in common.moegirl.org. Since all different wikis stay together and they can access same database and same file directory, this setting work fine.

However, now we got 2 databases and 2 servers separate from each other about 7,000 miles. By using $wgForeignFileRepos with ForeignAPIRepo in local wikis and $wgThumbnailScriptPath with thumb.php settings in common.moegirl.org, we can access existed images. But can't upload images to same file directory as we used to do.

I saw there are mw.ForeignStructuredUpload and mw.ForeignStructuredUpload.BookletLayout function and $wgUploadDialog setting become available since MW ≥ 1.27.

Can some one explained or provide help and/or documents on how to use these cross-wiki uploads settings?

Thank you!!!!!!!

:See [[Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons#Details]] for a configuration example that you can use for [[InstantCommons]]. You can adapt it to your needs.

You need to configure common.moegirl to thumbnail images with a [[Manual:thumb.php#404 Handler|404 handler]], or maybe setting also thumbScriptUrl (see [[Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos|$wgForeignFileRepos]]) would also work.

== VisualEditor and WikiEditor not working in 1.27.1 ==

We have recently upgraded to MediaWiki 1.27.1 but have found that neither the VisualEditor or WikiEditor extensions work in this version.

For VisualEditor I have tried using a known working configuration from our previous version (1.24.3) and clicking on the Edit link simply redirects to the same page (with veaction=edit appended to the url). The very latest version of VisualEditor was also tried without success.

After giving up on VisualEditor I decided to fall back on WikiEditor which sounded like a more established platform (but perhaps with less features). Again, I tried a known working configuration from the earlier version of MediaWiki and the toolbar was not shown. The very latest version of WikiEditor was also tried without success.

== How to edit Comment on an uploaded Image file? ==
{{Archive top|result=Image comments can be edited with the Edit link of the File page.|status=resolved}}

Hi everyone, it's the first time I've run my own wiki, I have MediaWiki 1.27.1,

I uploaded an image that had a long Comment description, then noticed I had worded it wrongly. I don't see a way to edit the Comment itself.

If I "Upload a new version of this file", users still see the original Comment (the bad one) directly beneath the image, on the image page. In other words, the image can be updated , but the Comment can't (?). Not in the place it is most visible. Yes, it was changed in the File History field for Comments. But like I say, it is a long comment which it truncated in the File History. Having it be wrong where it can be easily seen in full right below the image, but right where it can't be seen (cutoff in the File History), is unacceptable.

The core problem is that users only see the original Comment underneath the picture. Am I doing something wrong?

This is not a caching issue. Forcing action=purge will update the image, but it still has that original comment directly below it on the image page. No matter how many times I Upload a new version of the image.

Is my only recourse, the workaround of making an entirely new image from the same image? This seems very poor if someone wants to attach, edit, and update detailed supporting comments for images.

Thanks if you can help! [[User:RedKnight7|RedKnight7]] ([[User talk:RedKnight7|talk]]) 15:55, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

== Resize image ==
{{Archive top|result=Yeah, got it, thank you bro.

Very happy.|status=resolved}}

Hi, I'm trying to resize the images posted to maximum 800px wide, but I use the FRAME parameter in order to put the subtitles below, so I can not use the Wiki images variables.

So I was doing debug here to find out where the call occurs in loading the image to direct power to change the source code.

And I came to the Linker.php file.

The line '''"$ s =" <nowiki><div class = \ "thumb t {$ fp ['align']} \"> <div class = \ "thumbinner \" style = \ "width: {$ outerWidth} px; \" > ";"</nowiki>'''

It has $ outerWidth parameter that from what I understand, determines the image size when you will be charged.

So I was wondering if anyone can help me change the source code so that if the user upload a larger image than 800px wide, this image is automatically with only 800px wide to be displayed. [[User:Analistacavanha|Analistacavanha]] ([[User talk:Analistacavanha|talk]]) 17:38, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

== Category count decreases when not logged in. ==
{{Flow summary|Known bug with MediaWiki and anonymous users.}}

Versions = Wiki: 1.26.2, PHP: 5.4.43, MySQL: 5.5.51-38.2.

Site = http://www.vgmpf.com

I created a new page with a category tag and it shows up in the category page like it should. However, it only appears in the category to logged in users. For users who are logged out, the page is not in the category, and the total page count of the category decreases reflecting the missing page. I can still navigate to the page directly when logged out. I don't have any extensions to hide pages and most of the pages I created in the past show up properly in the category while logged out.

The only major changes I've made to the Wiki in the past year are upgrading from 1.25 to 1.26.2 and switching from manual user account creation to using the ConfirmEdit extension.

If you know why the pages aren't showing up in their categories for logged out users, please let me know, thanks! [[User:TheAlmightyGuru|TheAlmightyGuru]] ([[User talk:TheAlmightyGuru|talk]]) 18:45, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

echo '$(function() { console.log("test") });'

echo '</script>';

}

:I don't know, what you are actually trying to do. However, if you need jQuery, then the right way is not to output your JavaScript code into the page directly.

:You can't just insert scripts that depend on other scripts like that, as everything is loaded asynchronously since 1.26. As said above, making a RL module is the best way. If there is some reason you really have to have an inline script, then in currently supported versions of MW (1.26+) you can add your script to the RL queue, so it will be executed after the core modules (mediawiki and jQuery) are ready.

Hi,

When scanning my wiki with Rapid7 Nexpose I get the following vulnerability:

== Logo help ==

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with my local settings to get my logo to work? I've tried to copy exactly what the help documents say but just can't seem to get it to work. Here is line from my LocalSettings.PHP.

$wgLogo = "$wgScriptPath/wiki/images/ThanoTechLogoGREY.jpg";

What am I missing? Do I need to add public_html before wiki in the path?

:$wgScriptPath by default points to the folder, in which you have MediaWiki installed. From what you have set there, I guess that you installed MediaWiki into a folder called wiki/? This folder will by default already be part of $wgScriptPath. Try with
:<code> $wgLogo = "$wgScriptPath/images/ThanoTechLogoGREY.jpg";</code>

== Updating an existing page when it's about your company ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Hi,

I'm trying to handle this in the most above-board way possible, so I'm turning to this forum. I'm an employee at a company that has a Wiki page. I got an email from someone today with this message: "
"Thought you'd be interested to know there's a flag on your Wikipedia page. This calls the integrity of your page into question, and negatively impacts your company's credibility." (They claim they can fix this problem -- presumably for a fee). Indeed, the page has these messages on it:
{| class="wikitable"
|This article '''contains content that is written like [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion|an advertisement]]'''. ''(August 2015)''
|}
{| class="wikitable"
|The topic of this article '''may not meet Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guidelines for companies and organizations]]'''.''(August 2015)''
|}
Furthermore, the page is way out of date.

What's the best way to handle this? Make edits myself? Hire an outside person to make edits? Ask a customer to make edits? The page really should be updated, but I don't know how to do so in a way that's acceptable.

All guidance is appreciated!

:First of all, I would suggest looking at the history of that page to make sure that this person who contacted you did not simply add these messages themselves. If they were added very recently, and you are quite sure these tags are inaccurate, you could probably follow the guidelines for [[:en:Help:Maintenance_template_removal|removing this template]].
:I also suggest first making any edits you can make without adding major bias that would bring the page up-to-date. Inevitably, some bias is going to slip in but other people can help with that. Asking customers to help edit directly might not necessarily be a good idea because it sounds like a daunting task, but requesting feedback and incorporating it into the article might help you avoid bias.
:Lastly, it's certainly reasonable to charge money for improving a company's image, but there's no definite guarantee that this individual is unbiased, and any significant amount of money seems unreasonable for improving a company's page on such an easily editable site as Wikipedia.

== Class not found in SpecialPageFactory.php ==
{{Archive top|result=I helped him/her fix the problem so it is all fixed now.|status=resolved}}

I'm just getting started developing an extension, the source for which is hosted [https://github.com/MTres19/mw-extension-git here]. The purpose of the extension is to allow wiki editing through Git. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to progress to actually working on that part since I've run into a problem accessing the special page my extension should create: whenever I access Special:GitAccess or Special:SpecialPages on my wiki (http://hcstechwiki.homenet.org/mw/index.php) I get:

'''Fatal Error:''' Class 'SpecialGitAccess' not found in /...<path>.../specialpage/SpecialPageFactory.php on line '''396'''

I've enabled the Renameuser extension without any trouble, so obviously this is something I'm doing wrong in my extension, but I can't figure out what it might be. I can't find any typos in my extension.json or SpecialGitAccess.php, but it seems that SpecialGitAccess.php isn't being included somehow...

I am running MediaWiki 1.27.1 with MySQL 5.1.73, PHP 5.6.13, and lighttpd 1.4.36.

== Filter on keywords in content in youtube, not in search ==

I was wondering if there was a way to filter on content in description in YouTube, for example, I want to block dog and cat videos

I have Pf-sense with squid guard working so the client gets the cert from the pf-sense server so it can see what otherwise would be encrypted traffic.

IF i do a search with Cat|dog in the filter it will stop the YouTube from showing results, however say i went to a car search and watched a video which had a car video but on the recommendations from YouTube column there was a cat or dog video and i clicked on it , that video will play thru.

is there a way to scan the description of the video etc to see if keywords could be blocked?

== Multipane Editting and Rendering ==

Hi everyone!

I am working on a wiki project for translating music lyrics from language A to language B. I would want the editors to be able to edit the content side by side similar to how Content Translation works. Unlike Content Translation, no new pages should to be created. The content should appear side by side on the same page when viewed by readers.

I would like to ask if there are extensions our there that support this type of editing. If not, is it possible to customize Content Translation to behave in the manner I described above?

{{Archive top|result=PHP version 5.6.26 can be found at PHP's official [http://windows.php.net/download#php-5.6 site]|status=resolved}}

Hello. We have MediaWiki 1.26.0 and PHP that was installed about a year ago is 5.6.14. Recently we started to get a lot of PHP-related alerts as security issues on the server where Wiki is running. We think to upgrade PHP from 5.6.14 to the more recent. QUESTION: is it safe to upgrade PHP-software to the most recent one OR would you recommend to upgrade to certain version of PHP, which one? Thank you! [[Special:Contributions/198.232.185.11|198.232.185.11]] ([[User talk:198.232.185.11|talk]]) 18:20, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
:MediaWiki 1.26 will work with PHP 5.6, the minor version is not relevant. You can upgrade PHP to e.g. version 5.6.26. This should not cause problems.
:However, MediaWiki 1.26 - at least officially - is ''not'' compatible with PHP 7. So, if you want to upgrade PHP to version 7, you will have to upgrade MediaWiki (and extensions, which you might use) to version 1.27 first.

I'm new to media wiki and webhosting in general. I have the most baseline knowledge of how it works, so please forgive me as I stumble through this question and try to figure out what information I should be providing here...

I want to create an interactive map of some kind to feature on the front page of my wiki. Not like a google map. More like, an image where you can hover over certain regions and click them to go to its respective wiki page.

I'm assuming I'd need to create something in java? Or perhaps I could create a flash .swf and embed it that way; though flash is becoming outdated and many people seem to dislike it.

== Problem with watchlist - maybe due to some extension ? ==

Versions :
IIS 7
MediaWiki 1.27.1
PHP 5.6.26 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL 5.7.15-log
ICU 57.1

Hi,

I am using many MediaWiki extensions, and am puzzled by one bug I get in Watchlist feature, which I think occur due to those many extensions.

When I click on "List", the URL submitted lacks the parameter "title=Special:Watchlist" and brings me to "Edit" the page I am launching it on. If I add it, it works.

Which extension might be the culprit ?

Here are the suspects :
<nowiki>
ConfirmAccount
Echo
MLEB
UserMerge
Babel
Comments
DynamicPageList
InputBox
MsUpload
ParserFunctions
ApprovedRevs
CLDR
Flow
MobileFrontend

== ePub ==

Yo !

I wondered why there are ePub conversions for the french and english Wikisource, and not for the spanish, so I ask and they told me it was because there aren't any tools in MediaWiki to convert wikitext into epub. It would be great if you could make it.

I'm not sure you can just copy without asking, but a French administrator of Wikisource, named Tpt, made a program that does exactly that. And the English found a trick too (though honestly, I tried both, and Tpt's program is far better for it converts the entire book while the English one just converts one page).

Hope someone will be entertained by the idea, is all. [[Special:Contributions/80.12.35.86|80.12.35.86]] ([[User talk:80.12.35.86|talk]]) 22:44, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

== User login fail. ==

In one special computer, one user login with wrong password, and then I reset his password.

The problem is , he still can't login with system message: '''changeemail-throttled'''.

The strange thing is:
# I login this account in my computer, it's OK,
# I login my own account in his computer, it's OK
# I login this account in his computer, the '''changeemail-throttled''' message still display and login failed.
Of course, I wait till the 5min pass.

After check the source by '''changeemail-throttled''', som function is here:

incLoginThrottle: I think it is a counter to record user login failed. (this use IP and username)

clearLoginThrottle: I think it is used to clear the failed records

attemptReset: this call clearLoginThrottle in file '''SpecialChangePassword.php'''

I'm not sure, tried '''changepasswork.php''' to reset password of this account again, but in the computer login this account , '''changeemail-throttled''' still display.

I'm totally confuse, how could I do?

By the way, my wiki run without email serverice. [[User:Redlz250|Redlz250]] ([[User talk:Redlz250|talk]]) 08:42, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== Deleting Templates ==

hey Everyone,

I just have a quick question:

How do I delete Templates?

I imported an infobox template from wikipedia, however, I noticed something was wrong, so I edited the file (altered it to fit a German site), and now I want to re-upload it, but it isn - of course - not overwriting the installed version. Anyway to change this? Delete, overwrite, whatever rows the boat, as long as I can update the template.

Thank you very much in advance.

:The problem with importing XML dumps is that it inserts revisions at the timestamp they were created, so if a page exists and the last edit is newer than the imported one, the imports won't be the last revision of the page.
:If you're sysop on the wiki, you can delete the template like any other page. But since imports will be in the page history anyway, you can also go to the page history and edit an old revision to bring it as the most recent one.

after install i loaded up directly the downloaded LocalSettings.php to the root directory of mediawiki (where index.php is)

going to fqdn.tld/mediawiki and he gives me a interal server error 500

== TwoFactorAuthentication ==

Hi,

I justed upgraded from 1.19 to 1.27 on ubuntu. I used the LocalSettings.php from the old dir and put it in the new dir. Mediawiki loads up correctly with the articles. I added the TwoFactorAuthentication extension and as instructed for 1.27 I loaded this to the bottom of the LocalSettings.php file:

wfLoadExtension( 'TwoFactorAuthentication' )

But when I go to the main url mediawiki doesn't load up, I looked in the apache logs and it says:

Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '/var/lib/newmediawiki/extensions /TwoFactorAuthentication/extension.json does not exist!' in /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:106\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php(115): ExtensionRegistry->queue('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#1 /var/lib/newmediawiki/LocalSettings.php(171): wfLoadExtension('TwoFactorAuthen...')\n#2 /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/WebStart.php(124): require_once('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#3 /var/lib/newmediawiki/index.php(40): require('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#4 {main}\n thrown in /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php on line 106

I have verified that extensions.json does NOT exists in the '/newmediawiki/extensions/TwoFactorAuthentication'

When I use 'require_once "$IP/extensions/TwoFactorAuthentication/TwoFactorAuth.php";'

in the Localsettings.php mediawiki loads up fine but I don't see the extra box to input the pin number. I must be missing something here. Thanks in advance. [[Special:Contributions/99.27.53.185|99.27.53.185]] ([[User talk:99.27.53.185|talk]]) 15:07, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== Vector search box autocomplete don't work without read group permission for anonymous ==

Hi,

I've just upgrade from 1.24 to 1.27 and the autocomplete in search box with Vector theme no longer works.

After some test I saw that the API return "Permissiondenied" to the request while I was connected.

I found a workaround in setting read permission for anonymous ($wgGroupPermissions['*']['read']= true;) but it's not great because I don't want all the world to see all pages (I have group permissions configured)

Do you have another solution ?

Hi guys!

I am trying to set up a new environment for a old medium MW site with about 15 servers. This site used to throw everything into Memcached. However, I saw the [[Manual:Performance tuning]] state that: "We recommend bytecode cache for PHP, '''APCu as local object cache''', Memcached for main cache; this is what the Wikimedia Foundation uses for Wikipedia et al.".

I understand the $wgMainCacheType should use CACHE_MEMCACHED. But what exactly the '''"local object cache"''' referring to? Is it Localisation cache? How should I set the localsettings.php file to implement the best practice?

== Automatic log out ==

Hi, A few weeks ago I started a Wikitravel account. I had the problem that it kept logging me out and pretending that my user didn't exist (MegaMgala) so I cannot ask for a new password. Then suddenly I stopped having the problem.

Now it logs me in just fine in Spanish but when I switch languages it logs me out again. Also the Spanish version pretends I never made a contribution which isn't the case. Before I could enter the English and Dutch version just fine without the system logging me out. Now I can only log-in to the English and Spanish version seperately and the Dutch version I cannot access at all.

Can anyone tell me what keeps happening? It is really frustrating. It shouldn't be that hard. I can't even

Thank you so much,

Cheers,

:While your account exists in the ''Spanish and English versions'', there is ''no account'' named MegaMgala in the Dutch one. WikiTravel obviously is not using ''one single'' user table, but ''multiple user tables''.
:I think this also is the reason for why you think it logs you out again when you change to a different language: Because it in fact is a ''different account'', which you are using there and while you are logged in with the one, you are not necessarily also logged in with the other.

{{Archive top|result=Accidental syntax mistake|status=resolved}}

Hello,

I have installed mediawiki on ubuntu 14.04. Everything was working great until I tried changing the logo image in localsettings.php.

After I did that my wiki wont load and i get the error:

"the page isn't working

It is quite possible I messed up some other settings in the localsettings.php file. My question is, can I just replace the localsettings.php file or is there some other way to solve this?

== How to upload image to a remote shared wiki? ==

Hi girls and guys,

Due to some government regulation problem in China. We have to move some wikis with simplified-Chinese to China while others stay in US. We used to use ForeignDBRepo in $wgForeignFileRepos to get all wikis upload and access shared image in common.moegirl.org. Since all different wikis stay together and they can access same database and same file directory, this setting work fine.

However, now we got 2 databases and 2 servers separate from each other about 7,000 miles. By using $wgForeignFileRepos with ForeignAPIRepo in local wikis and $wgThumbnailScriptPath with thumb.php settings in common.moegirl.org, we can access existed images. But can't upload images to same file directory as we used to do.

I saw there are mw.ForeignStructuredUpload and mw.ForeignStructuredUpload.BookletLayout function and $wgUploadDialog setting become available since MW ≥ 1.27.

Can some one explained or provide help and/or documents on how to use these cross-wiki uploads settings?

Thank you!!!!!!!

:See [[Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons#Details]] for a configuration example that you can use for [[InstantCommons]]. You can adapt it to your needs.

You need to configure common.moegirl to thumbnail images with a [[Manual:thumb.php#404 Handler|404 handler]], or maybe setting also thumbScriptUrl (see [[Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos|$wgForeignFileRepos]]) would also work.

== VisualEditor and WikiEditor not working in 1.27.1 ==

We have recently upgraded to MediaWiki 1.27.1 but have found that neither the VisualEditor or WikiEditor extensions work in this version.

For VisualEditor I have tried using a known working configuration from our previous version (1.24.3) and clicking on the Edit link simply redirects to the same page (with veaction=edit appended to the url). The very latest version of VisualEditor was also tried without success.

After giving up on VisualEditor I decided to fall back on WikiEditor which sounded like a more established platform (but perhaps with less features). Again, I tried a known working configuration from the earlier version of MediaWiki and the toolbar was not shown. The very latest version of WikiEditor was also tried without success.

== How to edit Comment on an uploaded Image file? ==
{{Archive top|result=Image comments can be edited with the Edit link of the File page.|status=resolved}}

Hi everyone, it's the first time I've run my own wiki, I have MediaWiki 1.27.1,

I uploaded an image that had a long Comment description, then noticed I had worded it wrongly. I don't see a way to edit the Comment itself.

If I "Upload a new version of this file", users still see the original Comment (the bad one) directly beneath the image, on the image page. In other words, the image can be updated , but the Comment can't (?). Not in the place it is most visible. Yes, it was changed in the File History field for Comments. But like I say, it is a long comment which it truncated in the File History. Having it be wrong where it can be easily seen in full right below the image, but right where it can't be seen (cutoff in the File History), is unacceptable.

The core problem is that users only see the original Comment underneath the picture. Am I doing something wrong?

This is not a caching issue. Forcing action=purge will update the image, but it still has that original comment directly below it on the image page. No matter how many times I Upload a new version of the image.

Is my only recourse, the workaround of making an entirely new image from the same image? This seems very poor if someone wants to attach, edit, and update detailed supporting comments for images.

== Resize image ==
{{Archive top|result=Yeah, got it, thank you bro.

Very happy.|status=resolved}}

Hi, I'm trying to resize the images posted to maximum 800px wide, but I use the FRAME parameter in order to put the subtitles below, so I can not use the Wiki images variables.

So I was doing debug here to find out where the call occurs in loading the image to direct power to change the source code.

And I came to the Linker.php file.

The line '''"$ s =" <nowiki><div class = \ "thumb t {$ fp ['align']} \"> <div class = \ "thumbinner \" style = \ "width: {$ outerWidth} px; \" > ";"</nowiki>'''

It has $ outerWidth parameter that from what I understand, determines the image size when you will be charged.

So I was wondering if anyone can help me change the source code so that if the user upload a larger image than 800px wide, this image is automatically with only 800px wide to be displayed. [[User:Analistacavanha|Analistacavanha]] ([[User talk:Analistacavanha|talk]]) 17:38, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

{{Flow summary|Known bug with MediaWiki and anonymous users.}}

Versions = Wiki: 1.26.2, PHP: 5.4.43, MySQL: 5.5.51-38.2.

Site = http://www.vgmpf.com

I created a new page with a category tag and it shows up in the category page like it should. However, it only appears in the category to logged in users. For users who are logged out, the page is not in the category, and the total page count of the category decreases reflecting the missing page. I can still navigate to the page directly when logged out. I don't have any extensions to hide pages and most of the pages I created in the past show up properly in the category while logged out.

The only major changes I've made to the Wiki in the past year are upgrading from 1.25 to 1.26.2 and switching from manual user account creation to using the ConfirmEdit extension.

== SimpleBatchUpload ==

== jQuery is not defined when upgrade from 1.20 to 1.25 ==

I have written my extension when I use 1.20, and there is some Javascript in the code, for example

<?php

class Example

{

public static function onBeforePageDisplay( OutputPage &$out, Skin &$skin )

{

echo '<script>';

echo '$(function() { console.log("test") });'

echo '</script>';

}

It works perfectly in 1.20, but after I upgrade MediaWiki to 1.25, I got message jQuery is not defined(…), I am pretty sure jQuery is loaded, because I type $('body').length on console panel, it returns 1, how to fix it?

:I don't know, what you are actually trying to do. However, if you need jQuery, then the right way is not to output your JavaScript code into the page directly. Instead, include your code inside a [[ResourceLoader]] module. [[Special:Contributions/87.123.45.172|87.123.45.172]] ([[User talk:87.123.45.172|talk]]) 11:57, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
:You can't just insert scripts that depend on other scripts like that, as everything is loaded asynchronously since 1.26. As said above, making a RL module is the best way. If there is some reason you really have to have an inline script, then in currently supported versions of MW (1.26+) you can add your script to the RL queue, so it will be executed after the core modules (mediawiki and jQuery) are ready.

== Extension:SimpleBatchUpload ==

To download this extension the recommended way to download this extension is by using [[Composer]]. To do that, i was asked to add the following to the MediaWiki <code>composer.local.json</code> file and run <code>php composer.phar update mediawiki/simple-batch-upload</code> from the MediaWiki installation directory. But i am not able to find the composer.local.json file. So i tried this in composer.json. Has anyone faced a similar issue. Kindly guide me through this.

== Explicitly disable autocomplete? ==

Hi,

When scanning my wiki with Rapid7 Nexpose I get the following vulnerability:

Form with action <nowiki>https://wiki.example.url/index.php/Special:UserLogin</nowiki> does not explicitly disable autocomplete for the following sensitive fields: wpPassword

Is there a simple way to fix this? I looked at LoginSignupSpecialPage.php, but found no easy way to fix it myself. Any help regarding this issue is highly appreciated.

Best regards.

== How to separate file description page from database? ==

I am trying to separate files in about 20 wikis into one combined wiki. The file can be easily combined into one place but the description pages are much harder.

I've got MW 1.23 plus the LanguageSelector extension. I arranged things so that language & links of the Sidebar menu entries change when the user switches the language via the Language selector.

My goal: The current page should be refreshed automatically, e. g. from MyPage/de to Mypage or to Mypage/fr whenever the user changes the language via the language selector.

== Any way to limit search rate in total or for each visitor? ==

Hi guys,

Our wiki sites using elasticsearh with Extension:CirrusSearch. Recently there is a moron script kiddie keep attacking our MW sites by submit huge amount of search request from considerable amount of proxy servers.

We turned off the search VM now to avoid site down. We'd like to get search function back by limiting total search rate or search query by each visitor. Is there Any way to limit search rate?

== Updating an existing page when it's about your company ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Hi,

I'm trying to handle this in the most above-board way possible, so I'm turning to this forum. I'm an employee at a company that has a Wiki page. I got an email from someone today with this message: "
"Thought you'd be interested to know there's a flag on your Wikipedia page. This calls the integrity of your page into question, and negatively impacts your company's credibility." (They claim they can fix this problem -- presumably for a fee). Indeed, the page has these messages on it:
{| class="wikitable"
|This article '''contains content that is written like [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion|an advertisement]]'''. ''(August 2015)''
|}
{| class="wikitable"
|The topic of this article '''may not meet Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guidelines for companies and organizations]]'''.''(August 2015)''
|}
Furthermore, the page is way out of date.

What's the best way to handle this? Make edits myself? Hire an outside person to make edits? Ask a customer to make edits? The page really should be updated, but I don't know how to do so in a way that's acceptable.

All guidance is appreciated!

:First of all, I would suggest looking at the history of that page to make sure that this person who contacted you did not simply add these messages themselves. If they were added very recently, and you are quite sure these tags are inaccurate, you could probably follow the guidelines for [[:en:Help:Maintenance_template_removal|removing this template]].
:I also suggest first making any edits you can make without adding major bias that would bring the page up-to-date. Inevitably, some bias is going to slip in but other people can help with that. Asking customers to help edit directly might not necessarily be a good idea because it sounds like a daunting task, but requesting feedback and incorporating it into the article might help you avoid bias.

I'm just getting started developing an extension, the source for which is hosted [https://github.com/MTres19/mw-extension-git here]. The purpose of the extension is to allow wiki editing through Git. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to progress to actually working on that part since I've run into a problem accessing the special page my extension should create: whenever I access Special:GitAccess or Special:SpecialPages on my wiki (http://hcstechwiki.homenet.org/mw/index.php) I get:

'''Fatal Error:''' Class 'SpecialGitAccess' not found in /...<path>.../specialpage/SpecialPageFactory.php on line '''396'''

I've enabled the Renameuser extension without any trouble, so obviously this is something I'm doing wrong in my extension, but I can't figure out what it might be. I can't find any typos in my extension.json or SpecialGitAccess.php, but it seems that SpecialGitAccess.php isn't being included somehow...

== Filter on keywords in content in youtube, not in search ==

I was wondering if there was a way to filter on content in description in YouTube, for example, I want to block dog and cat videos

I have Pf-sense with squid guard working so the client gets the cert from the pf-sense server so it can see what otherwise would be encrypted traffic.

IF i do a search with Cat|dog in the filter it will stop the YouTube from showing results, however say i went to a car search and watched a video which had a car video but on the recommendations from YouTube column there was a cat or dog video and i clicked on it , that video will play thru.

is there a way to scan the description of the video etc to see if keywords could be blocked?

Hi everyone!

I am working on a wiki project for translating music lyrics from language A to language B. I would want the editors to be able to edit the content side by side similar to how Content Translation works. Unlike Content Translation, no new pages should to be created.

== Upgrade PHP ==
{{Archive top|result=PHP version 5.6.26 can be found at PHP's official [http://windows.php.net/download#php-5.6 site]|status=resolved}}

Hello. We have MediaWiki 1.26.0 and PHP that was installed about a year ago is 5.6.14. Recently we started to get a lot of PHP-related alerts as security issues on the server where Wiki is running. We think to upgrade PHP from 5.6.14 to the more recent. QUESTION: is it safe to upgrade PHP-software to the most recent one OR would you recommend to upgrade to certain version of PHP, which one? Thank you! [[Special:Contributions/198.232.185.11|198.232.185.11]] ([[User talk:198.232.185.11|talk]]) 18:20, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
:MediaWiki 1.26 will work with PHP 5.6, the minor version is not relevant. You can upgrade PHP to e.g. version 5.6.26. This should not cause problems.
:However, MediaWiki 1.26 - at least officially - is ''not'' compatible with PHP 7. So, if you want to upgrade PHP to version 7, you will have to upgrade MediaWiki (and extensions, which you might use) to version 1.27 first.

== Best way to include/embed an interactive map? ==
{{Archive top|result=You probably want [[Extension:ImageMap]]|status=resolved}}

I'm new to media wiki and webhosting in general. I have the most baseline knowledge of how it works, so please forgive me as I stumble through this question and try to figure out what information I should be providing here...

I want to create an interactive map of some kind to feature on the front page of my wiki. Not like a google map. More like, an image where you can hover over certain regions and click them to go to its respective wiki page.

I'm assuming I'd need to create something in java? Or perhaps I could create a flash .swf and embed it that way; though flash is becoming outdated and many people seem to dislike it.

Any advice in this matter would be extremely helpful. [[User:MyTriforce|MyTriforce]] ([[User talk:MyTriforce|talk]]) 01:27, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

== Problem with watchlist - maybe due to some extension ? ==

Versions :
IIS 7
MediaWiki 1.27.1
PHP 5.6.26 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL 5.7.15-log
ICU 57.1

Hi,

I am using many MediaWiki extensions, and am puzzled by one bug I get in Watchlist feature, which I think occur due to those many extensions.

When I click on "List", the URL submitted lacks the parameter "title=Special:Watchlist" and brings me to "Edit" the page I am launching it on. If I add it, it works.

Which extension might be the culprit ?

Here are the suspects :
<nowiki>
ConfirmAccount
Echo
MLEB
UserMerge
Babel
Comments
DynamicPageList
InputBox
MsUpload
ParserFunctions
ApprovedRevs
CLDR

== ePub ==

Yo !

I wondered why there are ePub conversions for the french and english Wikisource, and not for the spanish, so I ask and they told me it was because there aren't any tools in MediaWiki to convert wikitext into epub. It would be great if you could make it.

I'm not sure you can just copy without asking, but a French administrator of Wikisource, named Tpt, made a program that does exactly that. And the English found a trick too (though honestly, I tried both, and Tpt's program is far better for it converts the entire book while the English one just converts one page).

Hope someone will be entertained by the idea, is all. [[Special:Contributions/80.12.35.86|80.12.35.86]] ([[User talk:80.12.35.86|talk]]) 22:44, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

False. <code><nowiki><pre></nowiki></code> just means "don't mess with the white-space"; you're allowed to have HTML inside to add additional formatting.

I have an idea for improving print view page (when in URL added parameter &printable=yes).

On each such wikipedia page at the bottom of the page there is Source link, like that one «https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JSON&oldid=81158804<nowiki/>»

In one special computer, one user login with wrong password, and then I reset his password.

The problem is , he still can't login with system message: '''changeemail-throttled'''.

The strange thing is:
# I login this account in my computer, it's OK,
# I login my own account in his computer, it's OK
# I login this account in his computer, the '''changeemail-throttled''' message still display and login failed.
Of course, I wait till the 5min pass.

After check the source by '''changeemail-throttled''', som function is here:

incLoginThrottle: I think it is a counter to record user login failed. (this use IP and username)

clearLoginThrottle: I think it is used to clear the failed records

attemptReset: this call clearLoginThrottle in file '''SpecialChangePassword.php'''

I'm not sure, tried '''changepasswork.php''' to reset password of this account again, but in the computer login this account , '''changeemail-throttled''' still display.

I'm totally confuse, how could I do?

== TwoFactorAuthentication ==

Hi,

I justed upgraded from 1.19 to 1.27 on ubuntu. I used the LocalSettings.php from the old dir and put it in the new dir. Mediawiki loads up correctly with the articles. I added the TwoFactorAuthentication extension and as instructed for 1.27 I loaded this to the bottom of the LocalSettings.php file:

wfLoadExtension( 'TwoFactorAuthentication' )

But when I go to the main url mediawiki doesn't load up, I looked in the apache logs and it says:

Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '/var/lib/newmediawiki/extensions /TwoFactorAuthentication/extension.json does not exist!' in /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:106\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php(115): ExtensionRegistry->queue('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#1 /var/lib/newmediawiki/LocalSettings.php(171): wfLoadExtension('TwoFactorAuthen...')\n#2 /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/WebStart.php(124): require_once('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#3 /var/lib/newmediawiki/index.php(40): require('/var/lib/newmed...')\n#4 {main}\n thrown in /var/lib/newmediawiki/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php on line 106

I have verified that extensions.json does NOT exists in the '/newmediawiki/extensions/TwoFactorAuthentication'

Hi,

I've just upgrade from 1.24 to 1.27 and the autocomplete in search box with Vector theme no longer works.

After some test I saw that the API return "Permissiondenied" to the request while I was connected.

== What is the "local object cache" mentioned in Manual:Performance_tuning? ==

Hi guys!

I am trying to set up a new environment for a old medium MW site with about 15 servers. This site used to throw everything into Memcached. However, I saw the [[Manual:Performance tuning]] state that: "We recommend bytecode cache for PHP, '''APCu as local object cache''', Memcached for main cache; this is what the Wikimedia Foundation uses for Wikipedia et al.".

I understand the $wgMainCacheType should use CACHE_MEMCACHED. But what exactly the '''"local object cache"''' referring to? Is it Localisation cache? How should I set the localsettings.php file to implement the best practice?

== Visual Editor - Insert - Media ==

In order to get the visual editor to recognize an uploaded image file, we have to upload the file with the file name having the first letter followed by an underscore in order to get the image file to appear using the Media settings window. For example, "Dog.jpg" will not come up in the display if the letter d is entered, but if we load the file using the file name "D_Dog.jpg" it will appear. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a fix?

== Automatic log out ==

Hi, A few weeks ago I started a Wikitravel account. I had the problem that it kept logging me out and pretending that my user didn't exist (MegaMgala) so I cannot ask for a new password. Then suddenly I stopped having the problem.

Now it logs me in just fine in Spanish but when I switch languages it logs me out again. Also the Spanish version pretends I never made a contribution which isn't the case. Before I could enter the English and Dutch version just fine without the system logging me out. Now I can only log-in to the English and Spanish version seperately and the Dutch version I cannot access at all.

Can anyone tell me what keeps happening? It is really frustrating. It shouldn't be that hard. I can't even

Thank you so much,

Cheers,

MegaMgala [[User:MegaMgala|MegaMgala]] ([[User talk:MegaMgala|talk]]) 00:03, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
:While your account exists in the ''Spanish and English versions'', there is ''no account'' named MegaMgala in the Dutch one. WikiTravel obviously is not using ''one single'' user table, but ''multiple user tables''.
:I think this also is the reason for why you think it logs you out again when you change to a different language: Because it in fact is a ''different account'', which you are using there and while you are logged in with the one, you are not necessarily also logged in with the other. In fact I think this is not even a log out - you just have not been logged in. [[Special:Contributions/87.123.12.224|87.123.12.224]] ([[User talk:87.123.12.224|talk]]) 00:46, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

== How to upload image to a remote shared wiki? ==

Hi girls and guys,

Due to some government regulation problem in China. We have to move some wikis with simplified-Chinese to China while others stay in US. We used to use ForeignDBRepo in $wgForeignFileRepos to get all wikis upload and access shared image in common.moegirl.org. Since all different wikis stay together and they can access same database and same file directory, this setting work fine.

However, now we got 2 databases and 2 servers separate from each other about 7,000 miles. By using $wgForeignFileRepos with ForeignAPIRepo in local wikis and $wgThumbnailScriptPath with thumb.php settings in common.moegirl.org, we can access existed images. But can't upload images to same file directory as we used to do.

I saw there are mw.ForeignStructuredUpload and mw.ForeignStructuredUpload.BookletLayout function and $wgUploadDialog setting become available since MW ≥ 1.27.

Can some one explained or provide help and/or documents on how to use these cross-wiki uploads settings?

Thank you!!!!!!!

However, if one does View Source, all the content is there. I have not used the site for a while so I do not know if this is due to version change of software.

== VisualEditor and WikiEditor not working in 1.27.1 ==

We have recently upgraded to MediaWiki 1.27.1 but have found that neither the VisualEditor or WikiEditor extensions work in this version.

For VisualEditor I have tried using a known working configuration from our previous version (1.24.3) and clicking on the Edit link simply redirects to the same page (with veaction=edit appended to the url). The very latest version of VisualEditor was also tried without success.

After giving up on VisualEditor I decided to fall back on WikiEditor which sounded like a more established platform (but perhaps with less features). Again, I tried a known working configuration from the earlier version of MediaWiki and the toolbar was not shown. The very latest version of WikiEditor was also tried without success.

== Mediawiki Localization + common database ==

Hello all. I have an idea to make my wiki at least on two-three languages just like ar wikipedia, i.e.:
* en.mywiki.com - English
* de.mywiki.com - German
* ru.mywiki.com - Russian
+ common media files that can be used at all localized wikis + one user for all localizations + interwiki that allows to make links between one article, but at different languages
Could someone give a link or explain how to make it? [[User:Fokebox|Fokebox]] ([[User talk:Fokebox|talk]]) 14:43, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

:I also would like to know your opinion what is better to have one core of mediawiki and make subdomains for each localization (I still don't know how to do that) OR install mediawiki separately from yeach to its subdomain (en.mywiki.com, de.mywiki.com etc.) What do you think? [[User:Fokebox|Fokebox]] ([[User talk:Fokebox|talk]]) 14:27, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
:If you own the ''mywiki.com'' domain, you need to set up DNS for subdomains. This is usually handled by editing the DNS records in the domain registrar where do you have the domain, or maybe in your hosting. You may specify each subdomain the same IP of the server, or set it so any subdomain goes to the same IP.
:On the web server, you need to configure a virtual host setting to handle each subdomain. If installations are different, make the document root point to each installation.
:Having separate installs is easier (or safer) to setup if you generally don't know how to share the same install. Otherwise, you can point all to the same installations, have common settings in the LocalSettings file, and then maybe include additional settings depending on the subdomain.

== How to edit Comment on an uploaded Image file? ==
{{Archive top|result=Image comments can be edited with the Edit link of the File page.|status=resolved}}

Hi everyone, it's the first time I've run my own wiki, I have MediaWiki 1.27.1,

I uploaded an image that had a long Comment description, then noticed I had worded it wrongly. I don't see a way to edit the Comment itself.

If I "Upload a new version of this file", users still see the original Comment (the bad one) directly beneath the image, on the image page. In other words, the image can be updated , but the Comment can't (?). Not in the place it is most visible. Yes, it was changed in the File History field for Comments. But like I say, it is a long comment which it truncated in the File History. Having it be wrong where it can be easily seen in full right below the image, but right where it can't be seen (cutoff in the File History), is unacceptable.

The core problem is that users only see the original Comment underneath the picture. Am I doing something wrong?

This is not a caching issue. Forcing action=purge will update the image, but it still has that original comment directly below it on the image page. No matter how many times I Upload a new version of the image.

Is my only recourse, the workaround of making an entirely new image from the same image? This seems very poor if someone wants to attach, edit, and update detailed supporting comments for images.

Thanks if you can help! [[User:RedKnight7|RedKnight7]] ([[User talk:RedKnight7|talk]]) 15:55, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

== Resize image ==
{{Archive top|result=Yeah, got it, thank you bro.

Very happy.|status=resolved}}

Hi, I'm trying to resize the images posted to maximum 800px wide, but I use the FRAME parameter in order to put the subtitles below, so I can not use the Wiki images variables.

So I was doing debug here to find out where the call occurs in loading the image to direct power to change the source code.

And I came to the Linker.php file.

The line '''"$ s =" <nowiki><div class = \ "thumb t {$ fp ['align']} \"> <div class = \ "thumbinner \" style = \ "width: {$ outerWidth} px; \" > ";"</nowiki>'''

It has $ outerWidth parameter that from what I understand, determines the image size when you will be charged.

So I was wondering if anyone can help me change the source code so that if the user upload a larger image than 800px wide, this image is automatically with only 800px wide to be displayed. [[User:Analistacavanha|Analistacavanha]] ([[User talk:Analistacavanha|talk]]) 17:38, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

== Category count decreases when not logged in. ==
{{Flow summary|Known bug with MediaWiki and anonymous users.}}

Versions = Wiki: 1.26.2, PHP: 5.4.43, MySQL: 5.5.51-38.2.

Site = http://www.vgmpf.com

I created a new page with a category tag and it shows up in the category page like it should. However, it only appears in the category to logged in users. For users who are logged out, the page is not in the category, and the total page count of the category decreases reflecting the missing page. I can still navigate to the page directly when logged out. I don't have any extensions to hide pages and most of the pages I created in the past show up properly in the category while logged out.

The only major changes I've made to the Wiki in the past year are upgrading from 1.25 to 1.26.2 and switching from manual user account creation to using the ConfirmEdit extension.

If you know why the pages aren't showing up in their categories for logged out users, please let me know, thanks! [[User:TheAlmightyGuru|TheAlmightyGuru]] ([[User talk:TheAlmightyGuru|talk]]) 18:45, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

:You obviously have a huge number of extensions, which are passing a value instead of a reference to call_user_func_array() (however this may not work in PHP 5.3 and beyond, the manual is not clear at that point).

:And note that a final version of PHP 7.1 has not yet been released. Also currently there is no version of MediaWiki, which would officially be working with PHP 7.1. This might (should) change for MediaWiki 1.28, but 1.27 LTS version is ''not'' compatible with PHP 7.1.

== How to separate file description page from database? ==

I am trying to separate files in about 20 wikis into one combined wiki. The file can be easily combined into one place but the description pages are much harder.

It seems that Mediawiki store image description in table "text" along with other normal article, Is there any way to select and export file description page? [[User:Deletedaccount4567435|Deletedaccount4567435]] ([[User talk:Deletedaccount4567435|talk]]) 04:27, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:Don't mess with the database unless you really know what are you doing. There are tools for importing and exporting the data.
:You can use [[Manual:importImages.php|importImages.php]] to place images in the right directory structure of the wiki and also create the required database rows. Note that you need to import description pages before importing images: read next step.
:For the description pages, export an XML dump of those description pages with [[Manual:dumpBackup.php|dumpBackup.php]] and then import them on the target wiki. Read [[Manual:Importing XML dumps]].

== Language switching ==

I've got MW 1.23 plus the LanguageSelector extension. I arranged things so that language & links of the Sidebar menu entries change when the user switches the language via the Language selector. This works. But the current page does not change, so the user has to change it manually. AFAIK this is by design.

My goal: The current page should be refreshed automatically, e. g. from MyPage/de to Mypage or to Mypage/fr whenever the user changes the language via the language selector.

Is there any way to accomplish this? [[Special:Contributions/84.151.230.224|84.151.230.224]] ([[User talk:84.151.230.224|talk]]) 10:17, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

== UNC Links WIKI TO RICH EDITOR ==

I implemented the UNC Links using WIKI editor.

:The page you linked should contain a few preview images, but these images do not display. There is no error, in fact there is a reference to each image, but that is all.
:When I try calling such an image with its URL, e.g. http://www.sejlerwiki.dk/images/thumb/f/f7/Pantry.jpg/180px-Pantry.jpg, I get this error:

:The same does not only happen for preview images, but also for the originals.

== Logo help ==

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with my local settings to get my logo to work? I've tried to copy exactly what the help documents say but just can't seem to get it to work. Here is line from my LocalSettings.PHP.

$wgLogo = "$wgScriptPath/wiki/images/ThanoTechLogoGREY.jpg";

What am I missing? Do I need to add public_html before wiki in the path?

Thanks in advance! [[Special:Contributions/166.70.49.115|166.70.49.115]] ([[User talk:166.70.49.115|talk]]) 18:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:$wgScriptPath by default points to the folder, in which you have MediaWiki installed. From what you have set there, I guess that you installed MediaWiki into a folder called wiki/? This folder will by default already be part of $wgScriptPath. Try with
:<code> $wgLogo = "$wgScriptPath/images/ThanoTechLogoGREY.jpg";</code>
:The file ThanoTechLogoGREY.jpg then belongs into the images/ folder. [[Special:Contributions/87.123.19.84|87.123.19.84]] ([[User talk:87.123.19.84|talk]]) 18:58, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:Still nothing...it's just a blank white box. I just realized though that the image I'm trying to use is huge so I'll need to resize it. Would that effect if it works? [[Special:Contributions/166.70.49.115|166.70.49.115]] ([[User talk:166.70.49.115|talk]]) 20:15, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:Is your wiki public so that I can have a look?
:If the image is to huge, it can be cut off showing only little part of the actual image.
:You should be reading [[Manual:$wgLogo]]! It will contain hints on most of the issues, which might arise. [[Special:Contributions/87.123.56.23|87.123.56.23]] ([[User talk:87.123.56.23|talk]]) 20:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
