== More potential privileged groups ==

I think stewards are fairly obvious so I've boldly gone and added that to the list. But what about these global groups?

*Abuse filter helpers
*Founders
*Pathoschild's group
*New wiki importers
*Ombudsmen
*System administrators
*WMF researchers [[User:Krenair|Krenair]] ([[User talk:Krenair|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Krenair|contribs]]) 16:02, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
:I believe stewards are now required to have TFA, so that there was no point in adding them.

:Well, its a good step, and I think we don't have any issue at Sindhi Wikipedia by implementing it. [[User:JogiAsad|JogiAsad]] ([[User talk:JogiAsad|talk]]) 22:37, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
:{{FlowMention|Tgr}} I think researchers should be added, they have some important permissions:
:*View deleted history entries, without their associated text <code>(deletedhistory)</code>
:*View deleted text and changes between deleted revisions <code>(deletedtext)</code>
:*View private logs <code>(suppressionlog)</code>
:*View, hide and unhide specific revisions of pages from any user <code>(suppressrevision)</code>
:*Undelete a page <code>(undelete)</code>
:Pathoschild's group (seems to also be known as global deleter) has some important ones too:
:*Search deleted pages <code>(browsearchive)</code>
:*Delete pages <code>(delete)</code>
:*View deleted history entries, without their associated text <code>(deletedhistory)</code>

== 7-9 character passwords with 2FA - have to lenghten to 10 characters? ==

{{FlowMention|JD}} accidentally wrote the following in an unrelated thread, I am making it into it's own thread to keep things tidy:

> I got 2FA activated since it has been made available. I don't want to change my general (and pretty complicated) password pattern only because it incorporates 7/8/9 characters instead of 10. There's no need of pushing people into greater password lengths when they're using 2FA already. [[User:Krenair|Krenair]] ([[User talk:Krenair|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Krenair|contribs]]) 22:31, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

== Password requirements ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Please fix the Password requirements section which currently suggests that a privileged account with password "123456" could change it to "1234567890" when they next log in. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 22:42, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
:I imagine 1234567890 appears in the 100,000-password blacklist. [[User:BMacZero|BMacZero]] ([[User talk:BMacZero|talk]]) 23:53, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
:Yes it is in the list: that is my point. The current text does not say that the full password policy will be enforced when a privileged user next logs in. Similar confused wording applies for non-privileged users. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 02:51, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
::Ah, apologies for the confusion. The requirements section does state for privileged accounts, "This is enforced the next time the user logs in"
::I just made an edit that tries to make it a little more clear. Does that help? [[User:CKoerner (WMF)|CKoerner (WMF)]] ([[User talk:CKoerner (WMF)|talk]]) 16:19, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks, but no, that did not help. The problem is the bulleted text in the "Password requirements" section. That clearly states that a minimum length of 10 characters for the password of a privileged account will be enforced at next log in. The top 100,000 requirement is separate and there is no mention of when or whether it will be enforced. I would be happy to fix the wording, which you would obviously check, but I have no idea what the plan is. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 01:13, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
::Please be aware that an 8-character password is considered as '''weak'''. It can be broken within 2 hours (if random enough). Go and try: https://howsecureismypassword.net/

::Please reconsider it and update your requirements. [[User:Misibacsi|Misibacsi]] ([[User talk:Misibacsi|talk]]) 15:00, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
::The NIST guidelines (last updated in 2017) actually [https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html#5111-memorized-secret-authenticators recommend] 8 or more characters. [[User:Tgr|Tgr]] ([[User talk:Tgr|talk]]) 08:15, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
::8 character Unicode passwords surely can not be broken within hours by any means available on Earth. Also, the attack scenario is not an offline attack, it is subject to rate limits unless someone steals the database. [[User:ToBeFree|ToBeFree]] ([[User talk:ToBeFree|talk]]) 18:55, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
::You're making a classic mistake here. The 8 character password is weak is based on the assumption you can a do a [[:en:Brute-force attack|Brute-force attack]]. In the case of the web service (like Wikipedia), that's not the case. You can't just try, try and try, mechanisms are in place to slow you down. Compare it with a pin code on an ATM card. Generally only 4 digits long, but generally secure enough because after three failed tries, the card stops working. [[User:Multichill|Multichill]] ([[User talk:Multichill|talk]]) 22:00, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
::FWIW even against bruteforcing by an attacker with access to the hash, 8 random characters are not really weak. If you use PBKDF2 with 10K+ rounds as per the NIST recommendation (Wikimedia uses 128K rounds), an attacker on a high-tier PC will be down to a few ten thousand tries per second (so about a month to bruteforce a single all-lowercase random 8 character password, about 100 years if it's mixed case + numbers).

== Warn, not require? Remember previous RfC?? ==

I think there was a request for comment previously and the outcome was that enforcing any password strength is bad, instead a warning should be shown. Perhaps [[Requests for comment/Passwords]] is a part of that discussion, it may have happened at more than one place however.

A quote from that page is "We can encourage stronger passwords without requiring them."

I think this may be worth implementing, perhaps as
*an e-mail to privileged users whose password is weak, and
*a warning ui for people who are signing up. [[User talk:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 23:15, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
:In the NIST paper it is mentioned:
:===A.1 Introduction===
:Despite widespread frustration with the use of passwords from both a usability and security standpoint, they remain a very widely used form of authentication [https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html#persistence <nowiki>[Persistence]</nowiki>]. Humans, however, have only a limited ability to memorize complex, arbitrary secrets, so they often choose passwords that can be easily guessed. To address the resultant security concerns, online services have introduced rules in an effort to increase the complexity of these memorized secrets. The most notable form of these is composition rules, which require the user to choose passwords constructed using a mix of character types, such as at least one digit, uppercase letter, and symbol. However, analyses of breached password databases reveal that the benefit of such rules is not nearly as significant as initially thought [https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html#policies <nowiki>[Policies]</nowiki>], although the impact on usability and memorability is severe. [[Benutzer Diskussion:Manorainjan|'''Manorainjan''']] 18:34, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

== Extra user rights and definition of "character" ==

:Two concerns:
:(1) How will you handle a situation in which a user with an 8- or 9-character password is given advanced rights? We can't risk someone being locked out of an account because a change in user rights makes their current password invalid. I hope the answer is that they'll be prompted to change the password immediately.
:(2) What is a character? Is it ASCII characters, or Unicode, or Latin script, or something else? If it's eight or ten [[:en:w:grapheme|graphemes]], this may pose problems for Chinese users in particular, given the nature of the language's writing system; that's analogous to requiring anglophones to remember a password of eight or ten words. [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 23:44, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
::Not true: are not words, but syllables. It's not so hard to remember a word of 8 syllables. There are numerous tools to save your passwords and/or -phrases securely so you have to remember only one master.passwd [[User_talk:KlaasZ4usV|Klaas]] `Z4␟` [[User:KlaasZ4usV|V]]:  08:50, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
:Hello Nyttend! Good questions, thank you for asking.
:1) This functionality already exists — the current minimum password length for a permissioned account is 8 characters. If an account with a password shorter than 8 character password receives permissions, the next time they log in they will be shown a skippable message that encourages them to change their password:
:[[File:Beta_Wikipedia_log_in_with_short_password.png|center]]
:2) I'm mostly confident that it is unicode characters, but will double check with the developers. [[User:TBolliger (WMF)|TBolliger (WMF)]] ([[User talk:TBolliger (WMF)|talk]]) 00:50, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
::Current code (Unless someone is planning to change it) is checking number of bytes. So a unicode code point can be between 1-4 bytes depending on where in unicode it is found. And actual things that look like a single symbol may be multiple code points.
::For example in the current code* implementation, a password consisting of the pride flag emoiji 🏳️‍🌈 would be considered a 14 character password.
::<nowiki>*</nowiki>I should stress, I'm just saying what's currently there, I have no idea if the plan is to change it. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] ([[User talk:Bawolff|talk]]) 21:54, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

::Filed as [[phab:T211550|T211550]]. Seems like a nontrivial problem though - accented latin characters probably shouldn't count double, emojis probably shouldn't count as 4 characters (the number of "popular" emojis is probably pretty small), Chinese characters counting as 3-4 might be reasonable. [[User:Tgr|Tgr]] ([[User talk:Tgr|talk]]) 08:36, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

:What happens if they skip? Do they then get the enhanced permissions but evade the improved password requirements? [[User:Mukkakukaku|Mukkakukaku]] ([[User talk:Mukkakukaku|talk]]) 02:34, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
:Yes, they can log-in and use all functionality. The next time they log-in they will see the same prompt and can skip it again. [[User:TBolliger (WMF)|TBolliger (WMF)]] ([[User talk:TBolliger (WMF)|talk]]) 16:52, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
:That kind of defeats the purpose of this feature then, doesn't it? If I get promoted, and my password is insufficient, then I can just skip forever and ever and continue using my weak password with enhanced permissions leaving what effectively is a security hole: my account with elevated permissions can be broken into much easier that other administrators'. It's kind of like having a "you must change your password every three months" rule and then letting the user keep their old one anyway if they don't feel like changing it.

I might not have read properly, but it appears that the old criteria disallowing a user to set his username as password won't be kept. Is it the case?

== Forced update? ==

Neat interface you got here. Couple questions:

1) are all privileged users now required to choose a new password? Or only those who do not meet the new requirements at the time of implementation?

1a) what happens to an account that does not comply?

2) are existing non-privileged accounts subject to the new requirements at implementation, or will they be in the future? Or is this ''only'' for new accounts? [[User:Ivanvector|Ivanvector]] ([[User talk:Ivanvector|talk]]) 17:22, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
:Hello Ivanvector, thanks for your questions.
:[[File:Test_Wikipedia_—_error_message_when_a_privileged_user_logs_in_with_a_short_password.png|error message when a privileged user logs in with a short password]]
:1) No. Those who have passwords that meet the new requirements can carry-on with business as usual. Those who do not meet the new requirements will see the warning message (pictured right) when they log in. When they change or reset their password the new password minimums will be required.
:We strongly encourage privileged users to not skip this step and to update the passwords.
:2) At this time all existing non-privileged accounts will not need to change their passwords ''unless'' they manually change or reset their passwords.
:It is important to note that password requirements will never be set in stone — there may be other changes in the future. Password security is an ever-evolving and ever-maturing topic and we want to make sure all our users and our wikis are safe from malicious actors.

== Is the top-100K password list really universal? ==

Having looked through the [https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/aad07ff/Passwords/10_million_password_list_top_100000.txt list], it looks very Latin and probably American.

There is no way the most popular Cyrillic passwords like "пароль" would not be there: "пароль" is an equivalent of "password" (2nd place) and even its transliterated variant ("пароль" written in Latin keyboard layout, i.e. "gfhjkm") is there at 111th place. Transliterated versions of another popular passwords like "lhfrjy" ("dragon" - 10th place, translated to "дракон" and transliterated to "lhfrjy" - 9089th place) or "vfcnth" ("master" - 19th place, translated to "мастер" and transliterated to "vfcnth" - 11875th place) are also there.

I would thus bet there should be dozens of Cyrillic passwords (and probably in other alphabets like Arabic or Chinese) in this list. Notably the two most popular (and ridiculous) Cyrillic passwords, "пароль" ("password") and "йцукен" (equivalent of "qwerty", 4th place) should clearly be in top-100. It would be strange to ban "gfhjkm" (a person made at least a minor security effort) and not to ban "пароль" (an immediate guess for a Cyrillic user).

Could you please thus check you picked a really universal list? Thanks [[User:NickK|NickK]] ([[User talk:NickK|talk]]) 17:44, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
:The list of passwords is based upon the Weakpass project's best wordlists. The list is based upon real passwords used by people from various sources across the internet. Given the general bias of the internet to English, it's understandable that most included would be Latin. They do offer [https://weakpass.com/wordlist/language other language lists]. I'll bring your recommendation up to the security team. [[User:CKoerner (WMF)|CKoerner (WMF)]] ([[User talk:CKoerner (WMF)|talk]]) 15:49, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|CKoerner (WMF)}} I agree that this is a real list of passwords used by real people. I just believe that for some reason this list includes only passwords containing in standard Latin.
:This list may make sense for websites having such a constraint for passwords, but WMF wikis accept passwords with any characters. Thus we miss:
:*non-Latin alphabets (as mentioned above)
:*commas. For instance, the list contains "k.lvbkf" ("людмила" typed in Latin layout, Lyudmila a rather common Cyrillic name), but it does not contain "aen,jk" ("football" translated to "футбол" and typed in Latin layout, while "football" is #14 and is clearly popular in countries where Cyrillic alphabet is used) or ",julfy" ("богдан" typed in Latin layout, Bogdan is a common Cyrillic name and is #3177).
:*extended Latin. It is quite surprising to see "jurgen" and "juergen" and not "jürgen" (Jürgen is one of the most common German first names)
:... probably something else.
:Thus this is not really a language list issue but probably some constraint imposed on this list. I think the best idea is to look for list of most common passwords without any constraints on what password can contain. Not sure dictionaries by language should really be used, the [https://weakpass.com/wordlist/749 most popular one] contains some very uncommon words that can really be reasonably secure passwords (like "Tuschzeichnungen" or "lawyeresses"). From this point of view top-100K is really good as it does contain all things people really use as passwords (first names, names of sports teams, places, birthdays etc.), it just should be extended beyond some constraints.

== Beyond the scope of the NIST paper! ==

The initial statement was: "The Wikimedia Security team has chosen to base our requirements on the National Institute of Standards and Technology guidelines."

Now, that very paper states its scope as:

"These guidelines provide technical requirements for federal agencies implementing digital identity services and are not intended to constrain the development or use of standards outside of this purpose."

I guess, the English phrase for this is: "to take a sledgehammer to crack a nut"

How much of a federal agency is Wikimedia? ;-) [[Benutzer Diskussion:Manorainjan|'''Manorainjan''']] 18:42, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

== Wish: Permit staying invisible ==
Hi, thanks for this wonderful extension which works smoothly on our closed 1.23.8 Mediawiki.
It's inspiring to see the fellow user's interest. But, sometimes, depending on atmospheric pressure ;-),
one might want to log in without being seen. I wonder how to make this possible. Perhaps just through a special
URL parameter or so? [[User:Avacpio|Avacpio]] ([[User talk:Avacpio|talk]]) 05:24, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

:If one is only reading, one does not have to log in. If one has to log in for doing an edit, one will be seen in the RC anyway. So, what would be the use? --[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 22:51, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

:::So,. the public is excluded in any way. You are amongst trusted members of the community only. And still You want to lurk around unseen? I do not think, that the solution to this problem is a technical one. --[[Benutzer Diskussion:Manorainjan|'''Manorainjan''']] 09:57, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

: Once again: our MediaWiki is closed (no read-access for public). We're a community (a church) of ~120 users. We've "WhosOnline" on the main page. Fine. It's important, and I assured all members, that no one can track which pages are being read by anyone. But if you read, for hours, or days, everyone always see's that u'r logged in. Sometimes this is not desirable. So, I would like to give (or program - but I've not enough time, and am not used to php) an option to log in and read totally invisible. ("bypass whosonline for this session"). My question is, whether someone here perhaps already has a solution or is able/willing to create one.

:The Problem is wfViewPrevNext used in getNavigationBar, Deprecated since 1.19 and removed in 1.24. You should replace getNavigationBar in WhosOnlineSpecialPage.php with this:

<pre>
function getNavigationBar() {
global $wgContLang,$wgLang;

$query = '';
$offset = $this->mOffset;
$limit = $this->mLimit;
$link = $wgContLang->specialpage( 'WhosOnline' );
$atend = $this->countUsersOnline() < ( $this->mLimit + $this->mOffset ); // show next link

$query = wfCgiToArray( '' );
if( is_object( $link ) ) {
$title = $link;
} else {
$title = Title::newFromText( $link );
if( is_null( $title ) ) {
return false;
}
}

return $wgLang->viewPrevNext(

== Show the online time a user is logged on ==

Hi,
I like the extension, but I'm also interested in seeing how long a user is online, so I made a few modifications, giving me the following output:

<pre>
Who's online
View (previous 50 | next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

161.90.43.138 Online for 0 hours 24 minutes 43 seconds
Admin [Admin] Online for 0 hours 34 minutes 8 seconds

</pre>

Are you interested in the code? Maybe it can be implemented as an extra option so that someone can choose whether or not to show the online time.

Update: Modified it so it can be optional with an extra variable $wgWhosOnlineShowTime. {{unsigned|DikkieDick|10:37, 27 February 2015}}

And when you go for the first time to the Who's Online specialpage it will be empty. When refreshing it will show f.e. you as being logged on for a few seconds where you might have been online for a while.

== How to make mailto link do First Last <foo@bar.com> ==

I have not figured out how to get MediaWiki to let me do this. I tried
[mailto:First%20Last%20<foo@bar.com>]
[mailto:<foo@bar.com>%20First%20Last]
[mailto:First%20Last <foo@bar.com>]
[mailto:<foo@bar.com> First%20Last]
[mailto:foo@bar.com First%20Last]
[mailto:foo@bar.com%20First%20Last First Last]
[mailto:<foo@bar.com>%20First%20Last First Last]
[mailto:First%20Last%20<foo@bar.com> First Last]
None of these works.

This workaround is as close as I could come:
[mailto:(First%20Last)%20foo@bar.com First Last]

[[User:Dave Yost|Dave Yost]] 21:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

:In this case <code><nowiki>[mailto:foo@bar.com First Last <foo@bar.com>]</nowiki></code> works and is displayed (as you wish) as [mailto:foo@bar.com First Last <foo@bar.com>]. The structure is generally the same as for normal external links: <code><nowiki>[link linkttitle]</nowiki></code>. --[[User:Bdk|:bdk:]] 23:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

:I think perhaps what Dave is after is for the <nowiki>mailto:</nowiki> to actually pass the recipient name to the mail program as well as the address. A standard html <nowiki>mailto:</nowiki> link <nowiki>(<a href="mailto:An Example <example@example.com>">)</nowiki> does do this in various clients, but is not actually compliant with [RFC1738]. Mediawiki insists on using the space to separate the link destination and link text ([mailto:An Example <example@example.com>] - hover to see <nowiki>"mailto:An"</nowiki>) - which is actually "correct" behaviour.

It is not possible with wiki code, as far as I know, but it can be done with JavaScript:

You might find some easy copy-and-paste code at that search. When you find something you think may work for you, put it in your MediaWiki:Common.js.

Phone: [tel:+1234567890 +1 (123) 456789-0]

I haven't been able to find any documentation on the difference between using <code><nowiki>[[File:some file.txt]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[Media:some file.txt]]</nowiki></code>. Initially thought them to be equivalent, but these are some different behaviours I have noticed on our wiki (in these examples 'uploaded file.txt' is an existing file (blue link) while 'not a valid file.txt' is not (red link)):

* <code><nowiki>[[File:uploaded file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:not a valid file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:not a valid file.txt</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:uploaded file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>Media:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:not a valid file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>Media:not a valid file.txt</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:uploaded file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''NOT OK - alternate text not displayed''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:not a valid file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:uploaded file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:not a valid file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in red ('''OK''')

Is this the default behaviour? If so, I think it should be better documented somewhere.

==How to write permanent anchor of sections?==

With a hierarchy like this:

<pre>
== item ==
=== created ===
== account ==
=== created ===
</pre>

When people link to account.created, it would be Page#created_2, right?

But when there's something added in between, like this:

<pre>
== item ==
=== created ===
== category ==
=== created ===
== account ==
=== created ===
</pre>

The anchor of account.created would then become #created_3, right? All the links to Page#created_2 before the change would now lead to the wrong section, that is category.created.

Is there any way to fix or work around this problem? Can we make the section anchor permanent once created? So new sections of the same title would have new anchors regardless of its location?

I tried to use VE to add a link from an article (Arno Schmidt)in SE to one in EN. The SE article is new and has no interwiki links as far as I know. When I chose the language and typed in the title (the same as the SE title), I got this message, which I don't understand: "The page you wanted to link with is already attached to an item on the central data repository which links to Arno Schmidt on this site. Items can only have one page per site attached. Please choose a different page to link with." This is far from simple English, e.g., what central data repository? Is it in SE Wikipedia, Wikimedia, Google, the German national library? why can't I attach another site? etc.[[User:Kdammers|Kdammers]] ([[User talk:Kdammers|talk]]) 13:51, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

== External link to section below closed div section ==

I am attempting to place a link to a section that is below a closed div section on the same page and when i click the link it just drops to the bottom of the page instead of the section needed. anyone know how to resolve this?

Example: <nowiki>{{OP|Mainpage:sectiontitle#subsectiontitle|subsectiontitle}}
</nowiki>

== Link to search results ==

I would like to have linked keywords on my pages with the links leading users to other pages with the same keyword.
I have a way to accomplish this but it's not very elegant.
What I do is create a link to the search function, embedding the keyword itself in the parameters.
The result is that the user is taken to a search results page based on the keyword.

Specifically, here is the string I'm using:

https://mySite.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=***&fulltext=Search&profile=all

...where "***" is my keyword.

Any thoughts?
Is there a better way to accomplish something like this?

Thanks.

:: I did something similar on my site's disambiguation template. I found a ''slightly'' better solution using some magic words: <pre>[{{SERVER}}/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search={{PAGENAME}}&fulltext=Search search]</pre>
:: There is probably a better way (and hopefully a way to do it using an internal link rather than external). But at least this way you wouldn't need to enter a static keyword in the link.

== Handling of entities in page titles ==

I noticed the following while fiddling around with the Usain Bolt article on Wikipedia.

Markup:

<tt><nowiki>* [[wikipedia:4&nbsp;×&nbsp;100 metres relay]]</nowiki></tt>

Result:

* [[wikipedia:4 × 100 metres relay]]

Strangely the link still works, but the non-breaking spaces do not survive to the rendered link text (opposite in both regards to naive intuition).

It wouldn't be a bad thing if nbsp entity was defined as an alias for regular space in the page name, but the nbsps were preserved in the rendered link text. Either way, the handling of entities in link targets could be better documented. [[User:MaxEnt|MaxEnt]] ([[User talk:MaxEnt|talk]]) 02:15, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

== External links on same server ==

We have some 'external links' from our wiki (e.g. https://example.com/wiki/ ) to non-wiki pages on the same server,
e.g. <nowiki>[https://example.com/tutorials/index.html Tutorial]</nowiki>.

However, the 'refreshLinks.php' script does not update the 'external links' table; and therefore Special:LinkSearch does not work.

Is this expected behavior?

== How to make mailto link do First Last <foo@bar.com> ==

I have not figured out how to get MediaWiki to let me do this. I tried
[mailto:First%20Last%20<foo@bar.com>]
[mailto:<foo@bar.com>%20First%20Last]
[mailto:First%20Last <foo@bar.com>]

[mailto:foo@bar.com%20First%20Last First Last]
[mailto:<foo@bar.com>%20First%20Last First Last]
[mailto:First%20Last%20<foo@bar.com> First Last]

'''''[[user:Christopherwoods|Chris W.]]''' ([[user_talk:Christopherwoods|talk]] | [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Christopherwoods WP profile])'' 11:30, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

:I agree that this was confusing. I just noticed on my self-hosted wiki that all external links now use a single SVG icon. No more content (email, pdf, etc.) specific icons. It was removed in April 2014. Here's the [https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/commit/63c149370497045ae6ac3154c3e0c2304fe202d3 commit].

==File: vs. Media: links==

I haven't been able to find any documentation on the difference between using <code><nowiki>[[File:some file.txt]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[Media:some file.txt]]</nowiki></code>. Initially thought them to be equivalent, but these are some different behaviours I have noticed on our wiki (in these examples 'uploaded file.txt' is an existing file (blue link) while 'not a valid file.txt' is not (red link)):

* <code><nowiki>[[File:uploaded file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:not a valid file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:not a valid file.txt</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:uploaded file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>Media:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:not a valid file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>Media:not a valid file.txt</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:uploaded file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''NOT OK - alternate text not displayed''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:not a valid file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:uploaded file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:not a valid file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in red ('''OK''')

Is this the default behaviour? If so, I think it should be better documented somewhere.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or comments.

== Creating a new article ==

I must be a bit stupid.
I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find out how to paste an article which i have written as a Word file on here. I can't see where to start, as there is no Sandbox.

Should i put it on one of my blogs first
and then link to that?

The article i want to put up is '''The English Spelling System'''
i.e. a much simpler explanation of it than is given under '''English Orthography''' on the main Wiki.

==How to write permanent anchor of sections?==

With a hierarchy like this:

<pre>
== item ==
=== created ===
== account ==
=== created ===
</pre>

When people link to account.created, it would be Page#created_2, right?

But when there's something added in between, like this:

<pre>
== item ==
=== created ===
== category ==
=== created ===
== account ==
=== created ===
</pre>

The anchor of account.created would then become #created_3, right? All the links to Page#created_2 before the change would now lead to the wrong section, that is category.created.

Is there any way to fix or work around this problem? Can we make the section anchor permanent once created? So new sections of the same title would have new anchors regardless of its location?

== VE ==

I tried to use VE to add a link from an article (Arno Schmidt)in SE to one in EN. The SE article is new and has no interwiki links as far as I know. When I chose the language and typed in the title (the same as the SE title), I got this message, which I don't understand: "The page you wanted to link with is already attached to an item on the central data repository which links to Arno Schmidt on this site. Items can only have one page per site attached. Please choose a different page to link with." This is far from simple English, e.g., what central data repository? Is it in SE Wikipedia, Wikimedia, Google, the German national library? why can't I attach another site? etc.[[User:Kdammers|Kdammers]] ([[User talk:Kdammers|talk]]) 13:51, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

== External link to section below closed div section ==

I am attempting to place a link to a section that is below a closed div section on the same page and when i click the link it just drops to the bottom of the page instead of the section needed. anyone know how to resolve this?

Example: <nowiki>{{OP|Mainpage:sectiontitle#subsectiontitle|subsectiontitle}}
</nowiki>

== Link to search results ==

I would like to have linked keywords on my pages with the links leading users to other pages with the same keyword.
I have a way to accomplish this but it's not very elegant.
What I do is create a link to the search function, embedding the keyword itself in the parameters.
The result is that the user is taken to a search results page based on the keyword.

Specifically, here is the string I'm using:

https://mySite.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=***&fulltext=Search&profile=all

...where "***" is my keyword.

Any thoughts?
Is there a better way to accomplish something like this?

Thanks.

:: I did something similar on my site's disambiguation template. I found a ''slightly'' better solution using some magic words: <pre>[{{SERVER}}/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search={{PAGENAME}}&fulltext=Search search]</pre>
:: There is probably a better way (and hopefully a way to do it using an internal link rather than external). But at least this way you wouldn't need to enter a static keyword in the link.

== Handling of entities in page titles ==

I noticed the following while fiddling around with the Usain Bolt article on Wikipedia.

Markup:

<tt><nowiki>* [[wikipedia:4&nbsp;×&nbsp;100 metres relay]]</nowiki></tt>

Result:

* [[wikipedia:4 × 100 metres relay]]

Strangely the link still works, but the non-breaking spaces do not survive to the rendered link text (opposite in both regards to naive intuition).

It wouldn't be a bad thing if nbsp entity was defined as an alias for regular space in the page name, but the nbsps were preserved in the rendered link text. Either way, the handling of entities in link targets could be better documented. [[User:MaxEnt|MaxEnt]] ([[User talk:MaxEnt|talk]]) 02:15, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

== GoogleTrans gadget now recoded ==

Hi there,

Last year you mentioned to me in a post that you had looked at my GoogleTrans gadget and it was old and ugly code that you wouldn't work with.

This is to alert you that I have recoded quite a bit of the gadget now. It is a Javascript Object now, the code to determine the word under the cursor, and whether the cursor is in the selected text has been completely rewritten.

:A few of these might be invalid or subjective (mostly the "bad line breaking" ones), but a lot of them appear to be valid. Additionally you might want to familiarize yourself with [[Manual:Coding conventions/JavaScript|MediaWiki's JavaScript coding conventions]] — while they, too, are somewhat subjective, they're widely accepted in the MediaWiki developer community and for a good reason.

:Some additional thoughts:

:* Do you really need to explicitly check for certain browsers (e.g. Konqueror, Netscape)? As per [[Compatibility]], only certain modern browsers receive Grade A support. JavaScript isn't even loaded for certain ancient browsers (IE6 & 7 at least) anymore, so chances are your code will never be executed in these browsers anymore.
:* You may want to use <code>jquery.cookie</code> or <code>mediawiki.cookie</code> (I think the latter one is the recommended one) [[ResourceLoader]] module instead for the cookie stuff instead of rolling out your own logic.
:* Finding X and Y position (<code>GT.SCfindPosX/GT.SCfindPosY</code>) can likely be done via [[jQuery]]. jQuery is one of those few things always guaranteed to be available in the MediaWiki environment (but some specific jQuery plugins, such as the aforementioned cookie-related ones, are ''not'' always available and have to be explicitly loaded). --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|Contact]]) 17:00, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I've had a look at your error listing, and made changes to the code to reduce the number of LINT errors. I tried out JSINT and it is too finicky to actually use. But I will try to get the style better than it was before.

:I finally got JSHINT to work in my Notepad++ and allowed for "tolerate messy white space". I only have 6 errors now, most of which have to do with nonascii characters in regular expressions. (I'm going to keep these because they make GoogleTrans work with Chinese/Japanese characters). Thanks for telling me about JSHINT. I will definitely run javascript through it in the future.

== Wish: Permit staying invisible ==
Hi, thanks for this wonderful extension which works smoothly on our closed 1.23.8 Mediawiki.
It's inspiring to see the fellow user's interest. But, sometimes, depending on atmospheric pressure ;-),
one might want to log in without being seen. I wonder how to make this possible. Perhaps just through a special
URL parameter or so? [[User:Avacpio|Avacpio]] ([[User talk:Avacpio|talk]]) 05:24, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

== Bug in MW 1.24 ? ==

Hi, there seems to be a little bug for the special page. The <nowiki>{{:Special:WhosOnline}}</nowiki> does work.

[Fri Dec 12 19:34:56 2014] [error] [client 129.194.30.22] PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Language::viewPrevNext() must be an instance of Title, string given, called in /export/data/portails/fmediawiki/extensions/WhosOnline/WhosOnlineSpecialPage.php on line 84 and defined in /export/data/portails/fmediawiki/languages/Language.php on line 4633, referer: http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/fr/Bases_psychop%C3%A9dagogiques_des_technologies_%C3%A9ducatives

:The Problem is wfViewPrevNext used in getNavigationBar, Deprecated since 1.19 and removed in 1.24. You should replace getNavigationBar in WhosOnlineSpecialPage.php with this:

<pre>
function getNavigationBar() {
global $wgContLang,$wgLang;

$query = '';
$offset = $this->mOffset;
$limit = $this->mLimit;
$link = $wgContLang->specialpage( 'WhosOnline' );
$atend = $this->countUsersOnline() < ( $this->mLimit + $this->mOffset ); // show next link

$query = wfCgiToArray( '' );
if( is_object( $link ) ) {
$title = $link;
} else {
$title = Title::newFromText( $link );
if( is_null( $title ) ) {
return false;
}
}

return $wgLang->viewPrevNext(
$title,
$offset,

== Show the online time a user is logged on ==

Hi,
I like the extension, but I'm also interested in seeing how long a user is online, so I made a few modifications, giving me the following output:

<pre>
Who's online
View (previous 50 | next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

161.90.43.138 Online for 0 hours 24 minutes 43 seconds
Admin [Admin] Online for 0 hours 34 minutes 8 seconds

</pre>

Are you interested in the code? Maybe it can be implemented as an extra option so that someone can choose whether or not to show the online time.

Update: Modified it so it can be optional with an extra variable $wgWhosOnlineShowTime. {{unsigned|DikkieDick|10:37, 27 February 2015}}

Update: I also removed the deletion of the entry db->delete etc.

And when you go for the first time to the Who's Online specialpage it will be empty. When refreshing it will show f.e. you as being logged on for a few seconds where you might have been online for a while.

== Keeping Template:Languages ==
{{Archive top|result={{done}}|status=resolved}}

Why should [[Template:Languages]] remain on a page when there are no translations for that page? It seems to me that it would promote the wrong kind of translations, which requires more work to convert. ([[Special:Diff/2323864/2335975]])

== Translate question ==

Ugh, Flow.

I've seen a lot of edits lately where you put translate tags in between every sentence of a paragraph, effectively putting three lines in between every sentence. For example, near "T:53" in [[Special:Diff/2320189/2335284]]. Is that really necessary? It makes the source wikitext a lot harder to read and edit, on top of the stuff the Translate extension already does to make it more difficult. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]] ([[User talk:Anomie|talk]]) 15:13, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
:Yes, it is necessary. By adding a sentence to the existing translation unit, all translations of the unit will be invalidated and will be removed from translation pages. So translate tags should be added properly. For example, T:1 was invalidated and was removed in [[Special:Diff/2248537]].

== [[Help:Spec/Glossary]] ==

I guess I understand why you have done [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3ASpec%2FGlossary&type=revision&diff=2364455&oldid=2364377 this], but the glossary isn't stabilized. Because of that the anchors will change, and probably the translations too. Some of the reason is that there are other established glossaries, and the page should probably relate to the terms used at those.

One option would simply be to neglect the anchors until the page is finalized, but then the anchors can be seriously outdated. So, what is the alternative? [[User:Jeblad|Jeblad]] ([[User talk:Jeblad|talk]]) 02:21, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

The recent edits you made to ApiParam have broken the bullets when they're deeper than the top level.

I don't understand the intricacies of translation, so I don't want to mess with the template too much, but I think the solution is to make sure that the bullet is either at the very start of the template or at least on a new line.

== Can you offer help on translation? ==

Dear Shirayuki, I saw that you took care about my edits on [[Extension:Cite]]. Thanks a lot, so I was able to finish the translation. I want to use Links to these Sites from german Wikibooks, so not every bit has to be explained again and again. Now I want to translate [[Help:Cite]], and I'm struggling with some difficulties. I browsed help and some other sites around here, but can't find answers for the things I'd like to know or do. Maybe you can offer help? It would be highly appreciated.

To the problem: I posted on [[Help talk:Cite]] a question a while ago, I'm confident enough about some parts of the question, to take care about it myself. E.g. editing the english page for some formating issues and for the translate-Tags. But another question arose: In the table error-messages are presented, that are probably to be translated by translatewiki, but at the moment, they seem not to. Does this mean, they are not translated yet? Or are they simply not displayed correctly? Or something else? I looked the error-messages up in some of the local (de) wikimedia projects, and they differ even there. Is it a good Idea to add translate-Tags for the messages and just add the actually used phrases (I suppose not)? Do you have any Idea, where I can look for help for this problem? E.g. first of all, I'd like to know how the translation in this case is (or should be) normally done.

As I said, any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot, regards [[User:HirnSpuk|HirnSpuk]]

PS: I'm sorry, I wasn't able to find, how to sign the Message. Hope this will be done automatically. Edit: Well somehow it is... confusing... [[User:HirnSpuk|HirnSpuk]] ([[User talk:HirnSpuk|talk]]) 23:52, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

== ApiParam slightly broken ==

It seems that the "maxallowedbot" parameter in ApiParam has become broken as a result of the translation tags that were added. Specifically, the "maxallowedbot" parameter no longer displays a default value when it's not specified. It still works normally when you specify a value, though. Can you have a look at it?

== Keeping Template:Languages ==
{{Archive top|result={{done}}|status=resolved}}

Why should [[Template:Languages]] remain on a page when there are no translations for that page? It seems to me that it would promote the wrong kind of translations, which requires more work to convert. ([[Special:Diff/2323864/2335975]])

'''Edit''': Besides, the page already contained a <lang<nowiki/>uages /> tag. —'''[[User:Mainframe98|Mainframe98]] [[User talk:Mainframe98|talk]]''' 12:56, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

== Translate question ==

Ugh, Flow.

I've seen a lot of edits lately where you put translate tags in between every sentence of a paragraph, effectively putting three lines in between every sentence. For example, near "T:53" in [[Special:Diff/2320189/2335284]]. Is that really necessary? It makes the source wikitext a lot harder to read and edit, on top of the stuff the Translate extension already does to make it more difficult. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]] ([[User talk:Anomie|talk]]) 15:13, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
:Yes, it is necessary. By adding a sentence to the existing translation unit, all translations of the unit will be invalidated and will be removed from translation pages. So translate tags should be added properly. For example, T:1 was invalidated and was removed in [[Special:Diff/2248537]].

== [[Help:Spec/Glossary]] ==

I guess I understand why you have done [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3ASpec%2FGlossary&type=revision&diff=2364455&oldid=2364377 this], but the glossary isn't stabilized. Because of that the anchors will change, and probably the translations too. Some of the reason is that there are other established glossaries, and the page should probably relate to the terms used at those.

One option would simply be to neglect the anchors until the page is finalized, but then the anchors can be seriously outdated. So, what is the alternative? [[User:Jeblad|Jeblad]] ([[User talk:Jeblad|talk]]) 02:21, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

== ApiParam edits ==

The recent edits you made to ApiParam have broken the bullets when they're deeper than the top level.

I don't understand the intricacies of translation, so I don't want to mess with the template too much, but I think the solution is to make sure that the bullet is either at the very start of the template or at least on a new line.

Manorainjan: more details and precision

<languages/>
{{TNT|PD Help Page}}
<translate>

There are five types of links in MediaWiki:


# '''[[<tvar|internal>#Internal links</>|Internal links]]''' to other pages in the wiki
# '''[[<tvar|external>#External links</>|External links]]''' to other websites
# '''[[<tvar|external2>#External links to internal pages</>|External links to internal pages]]''' in the wiki
# '''[[<tvar|interwiki>#Interwiki links</>|Interwiki links]]''' to other websites registered to the wiki in advance
# '''[[<tvar|interlang>#Interlanguage links</>|Interlanguage links]]''' to other websites registered as other language versions of the wiki</translate>

__TOC__

{{anchor|Internal|Internal links}}
<translate>
== Internal links == 


To add an internal link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in double square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page. If the page exists already the link is [[Main Page|displayed in blue]]; if it does not exist [[This Page doesnotExist|it appears red]] (unless the color scheme of the wiki has been changed from the default).
Links to the current page title ("selflinks") do not result in live links but are [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}|displayed in bold]].
(If you really want to link to the current page, you probably want to link to a specific ''section'' or to an ''anchor''; see examples below.)


The first letter of the target page is usually case-insensitive, unless configured otherwise by wiki admins, meaning links can be capitalized or not. The case of every subsequent letter must match exactly. Spaces in the page title may be represented as underscores (i.e., typing an underscore in a link will have the same effect as typing a space), but using underscores in links is not recommended since they will be visible in the page text (this can be prevented by using a ''pipe''; again, examples are shown below).

== External links == 


To add an external link, enclose the URL followed by space and the name of the page you want to link to in single square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page, with an arrow icon after it to show that it was coded with single bracket external link syntax, and thus may lead to another site.

=== How to avoid auto-links === 


When you put a URL on a wiki page, it will be automatically converted into an external link, like this:
</translate>

https://mediawiki.org

<translate>

To avoid that effect, put the URL between <tvar|1><code><nowiki></code></> tags, like this:
</translate>

<pre><nowiki>https://mediawiki.org</nowiki></pre>

<translate> To get this:</translate>

<nowiki>https://mediawiki.org</nowiki>

{{anchor|Interwiki|Interwiki links}}
<translate>
== Interwiki links == 


Interwiki links are links with the internal link markup to a website registered in advance. For example, you can link to the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower by typing <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:Sunflower]]</nowiki></code>, which will result in a link [[wikipedia:Sunflower]]. This works because by default MediaWiki configures <code>wikipedia:</code> as an "interwiki prefix" that turns into <nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/</nowiki> when used inside <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki>. (''It may not work if the admin of your wiki has changed the setting.'') Unlike internal links, interwiki links do not use page existence detection, so an interwiki link will appear blue even if the page does not exist on the remote wiki.


Similar to internal page links, you can create piped links, with alternate link label, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:Sunflower|big yellow flower]]</nowiki></code> is the link [[wikipedia:Sunflower|big yellow flower]] and <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:Sunflower|]]</nowiki></code> is the link [[wikipedia:Sunflower|Sunflower]].


Basically, interwiki links are abbreviations for commonly-used longer external links. A very similar link could be created as <code><nowiki>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower big yellow flower]</nowiki></code>.


More details are at [[<tvar|interwiki>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Interwiki</>|Manual:Interwiki]] and [[m:Help:Interwiki linking]]. Your wiki may have a [[Special:Interwiki]] page listing the interwiki prefixes it supports; {{git file | file=maintenance/interwiki.list | text=here is the default interwiki list}}. You can edit the [[<tvar|interwiki-table>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Interwiki table</>|Manual:Interwiki table]] on your site.
</translate>

{{anchor|Interlanguage links}}
<translate>
=== Interlanguage links === 


If your wiki has other language versions, you may find “interlanguage links” in the [[<tvar|sidebar>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Navigation#Sidebar</>|sidebar]], just below [[<tvar|toolbox>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Navigation#Toolbox</>|toolbox]] in a section titled “{{lcfirst:{{int:otherlanguages}}}}.”


Interlanguage links behave similarly to interwiki links (or [[Categorylinks|category links]]), except that they appear as a list in the sidebar and not within the content of the page (or below it in the categories bar). To create an interlanguage link to the corresponding page in another language, type <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''language prefix'':pagename]]</code> anywhere in the page (preferably at the bottom, like category links); the language prefix is the prefix specified at your wiki for the other language version (typically the [[wikipedia:List of ISO 639-1 codes|ISO 639-1 language code]]).
The interlanguage link is unilateral, it does not point back from that page in the other language. For that purpose, an equivalent back-link needs to be placed there as well. It does not work like the "Edit links" in the languages section of Wikipedia-language versions. But it can be used across all name spaces, including 'User:' to point to ones other profiles in other languages.


If you want to make the interlanguage link appear at a specific place in the content of the page rather than in the sidebar, add a colon before the language prefix:
:<code><nowiki>[[:en:Sunflower]]</nowiki></code> → '''[[:en:Sunflower]]'''


When a link is both interwiki and interlanguage, the order is '''[[wikipedia:en:Sunflower]]'''.
</translate>

== Keeping Template:Languages ==

Why should [[Template:Languages]] remain on a page when there are no translations for that page? It seems to me that it would promote the wrong kind of translations, which requires more work to convert. ([[Special:Diff/2323864/2335975]])

'''Edit''': Besides, the page already contained a <lang<nowiki/>uages /> tag. —'''[[User:Mainframe98|Mainframe98]] [[User talk:Mainframe98|talk]]''' 12:56, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
:You wrote "Don't use Template:Languages and Translate markup on the same page" in edit summary, but <code><nowiki><languages/></nowiki></code> does not work before marking the page for translation. [[User:Shirayuki|Shirayuki]] ([[User talk:Shirayuki|talk]]) 13:02, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

== Translate question ==

Ugh, Flow.

I've seen a lot of edits lately where you put translate tags in between every sentence of a paragraph, effectively putting three lines in between every sentence. For example, near "T:53" in [[Special:Diff/2320189/2335284]]. Is that really necessary? It makes the source wikitext a lot harder to read and edit, on top of the stuff the Translate extension already does to make it more difficult. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]] ([[User talk:Anomie|talk]]) 15:13, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
:Yes, it is necessary. By adding a sentence to the existing translation unit, all translations of the unit will be invalidated and will be removed from translation pages. So translate tags should be added properly. For example, T:1 was invalidated and was removed in [[Special:Diff/2248537]].

I guess I understand why you have done [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3ASpec%2FGlossary&type=revision&diff=2364455&oldid=2364377 this], but the glossary isn't stabilized. Because of that the anchors will change, and probably the translations too. Some of the reason is that there are other established glossaries, and the page should probably relate to the terms used at those.

One option would simply be to neglect the anchors until the page is finalized, but then the anchors can be seriously outdated. So, what is the alternative? [[User:Jeblad|Jeblad]] ([[User talk:Jeblad|talk]]) 02:21, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

== ApiParam edits ==

The recent edits you made to ApiParam have broken the bullets when they're deeper than the top level. They now show up as two separate bullets instead of an indented bullet (e.g., [[API:RecentChanges]]). Can you have a look? I don't understand the intricacies of translation, so I don't want to mess with the template too much, but I think the solution is to make sure that the bullet is either at the very start of the template or at least on a new line.

# '''[[<tvar|external2>#External links to internal pages</>|External links to internal pages]]''' in the wiki

__TOC__

{{anchor|Internal|Internal links}}
<translate>
== Internal links == 


To add an internal link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in double square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page. If the page exists already the link is [[Main Page|displayed in blue]]; if it does not exist [[This Page doesnotExist|it appears red]] (unless the color scheme of the wiki has been changed from the default).
Links to the current page title ("selflinks") do not result in live links but are [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}|displayed in bold]].
(If you really want to link to the current page, you probably want to link to a specific ''section'' or to an ''anchor''; see examples below.)


The first letter of the target page is usually case-insensitive, unless configured otherwise by wiki admins, meaning links can be capitalized or not. The case of every subsequent letter must match exactly. Spaces in the page title may be represented as underscores (i.e., typing an underscore in a link will have the same effect as typing a space), but using underscores in links is not recommended since they will be visible in the page text (this can be prevented by using a ''pipe''; again, examples are shown below).

== External links == 


To add an external link, enclose the URL followed by space and the name of the page you want to link to in single square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page, with an arrow icon after it to show that it was coded with single bracket external link syntax, and thus may lead to another site.

=== How to avoid auto-links === 


When you put a URL on a wiki page, it will be automatically converted into an external link, like this:
</translate>

https://mediawiki.org

<translate>

To avoid that effect, put the URL between <tvar|1><code><nowiki></code></> tags, like this:
</translate>

<pre><nowiki>https://mediawiki.org</nowiki></pre>

<translate> To get this:</translate>

<nowiki>https://mediawiki.org</nowiki>

{{anchor|Interwiki|Interwiki links}}
<translate>
== Interwiki links == 


Interwiki links are links with the internal link markup to a website registered in advance. For example, you can link to the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower by typing <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:Sunflower]]</nowiki></code>, which will result in a link [[wikipedia:Sunflower]]. This works because by default MediaWiki configures <code>wikipedia:</code> as an "interwiki prefix" that turns into <nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/</nowiki> when used inside <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki>. (''It may not work if the admin of your wiki has changed the setting.'') Unlike internal links, interwiki links do not use page existence detection, so an interwiki link will appear blue even if the page does not exist on the remote wiki.


Similar to internal page links, you can create piped links, with alternate link label, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:Sunflower|big yellow flower]]</nowiki></code> is the link [[wikipedia:Sunflower|big yellow flower]] and <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:Sunflower|]]</nowiki></code> is the link [[wikipedia:Sunflower|Sunflower]].


Basically, interwiki links are abbreviations for commonly-used longer external links. A very similar link could be created as <code><nowiki>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower big yellow flower]</nowiki></code>.


More details are at [[<tvar|interwiki>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Interwiki</>|Manual:Interwiki]] and [[m:Help:Interwiki linking]]. Your wiki may have a [[Special:Interwiki]] page listing the interwiki prefixes it supports; {{git file | file=maintenance/interwiki.list | text=here is the default interwiki list}}. You can edit the [[<tvar|interwiki-table>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Interwiki table</>|Manual:Interwiki table]] on your site.
</translate>

{{anchor|Interlanguage links}}
<translate>
=== Interlanguage links === 


If your wiki has other language versions, you may find “interlanguage links” in the [[<tvar|sidebar>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Navigation#Sidebar</>|sidebar]], just below [[<tvar|toolbox>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Navigation#Toolbox</>|toolbox]] in the box named “{{lcfirst:{{int:otherlanguages}}}}.”


Interlanguage links behave similarly to interwiki links, except that they are listed in the sidebar. To create an interlanguage link from a page, just type <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''language prefix'':pagename]]</code> wherever you link in the page; the language prefix is the prefix specified at your wiki for the other language version (typically the [[wikipedia:List of ISO 639-1 codes|ISO 639-1 language code]]).


If you want to make the interlanguage link appear in the content of the page rather than in the sidebar, you can add a colon before the language prefix:
:<code><nowiki>[[:en:Sunflower]]</nowiki></code> → '''[[:en:Sunflower]]'''


When a link is both interwiki and interlanguage, the order is '''[[wikipedia:en:Sunflower]]'''.
</translate>

{{Archive box|[[/Archive 1|1]]}}

==Where the users are==
Hello, thanks for the extension. Is it possible to show in wich page the user is? It would be very useful. Thank you. --[[Special:Contributions/5.150.135.196|5.150.135.196]] 09:47, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

== Wish: Permit staying invisible ==
Hi, thanks for this wonderful extension which works smoothly on our closed 1.23.8 Mediawiki.
It's inspiring to see the fellow user's interest. But, sometimes, depending on atmospheric pressure ;-),
one might want to log in without being seen. I wonder how to make this possible. Perhaps just through a special
URL parameter or so? [[User:Avacpio|Avacpio]] ([[User talk:Avacpio|talk]]) 05:24, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

:If one is only reading, one does not have to log in. If one has to log in for doing an edit, one will be seen in the RC anyway. So, what would be the use? --[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 22:51, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

== Bug in MW 1.24 ? ==

Hi, there seems to be a little bug for the special page. The <nowiki>{{:Special:WhosOnline}}</nowiki> does work.

[Fri Dec 12 19:34:56 2014] [error] [client 129.194.30.22] PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Language::viewPrevNext() must be an instance of Title, string given, called in /export/data/portails/fmediawiki/extensions/WhosOnline/WhosOnlineSpecialPage.php on line 84 and defined in /export/data/portails/fmediawiki/languages/Language.php on line 4633, referer: http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/fr/Bases_psychop%C3%A9dagogiques_des_technologies_%C3%A9ducatives

Life example: http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/fr/Sp%C3%A9cial:Qui_est_en_ligne

- [[User:Daniel K. Schneider|Daniel K. Schneider]] ([[User talk:Daniel K. Schneider|talk]]) 18:46, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

:The Problem is wfViewPrevNext used in getNavigationBar, Deprecated since 1.19 and removed in 1.24. You should replace getNavigationBar in WhosOnlineSpecialPage.php with this:

<pre>
function getNavigationBar() {
global $wgContLang,$wgLang;

$query = '';
$offset = $this->mOffset;
$limit = $this->mLimit;
$link = $wgContLang->specialpage( 'WhosOnline' );
$atend = $this->countUsersOnline() < ( $this->mLimit + $this->mOffset ); // show next link

$query = wfCgiToArray( '' );
if( is_object( $link ) ) {
$title = $link;
} else {
$title = Title::newFromText( $link );
if( is_null( $title ) ) {
return false;
}
}

return $wgLang->viewPrevNext(
$title,
$offset,
$limit,
$query,
$atend);
}
}
</pre>

May be not perfect but it work. --[[Special:Contributions/79.209.109.156|79.209.109.156]] 18:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
: Yes I can confirm too that the solution above works with MW1.24 ([http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Special:WhosOnline example]). Thanx again ! Would be nice if someone who has the powers and the know how could merge it into the Git master :) - [[User:Daniel K. Schneider|Daniel K. Schneider]] ([[User talk:Daniel K. Schneider|talk]]) 10:09, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Update: Tried to get this extension working in 1.23 and received the same error-message, but the above modification is a correct solution to get it working in MW 1.23.

== New Bug in Mediawiki 1.24 ==

Hi

Did the change listed above to get the Special Page working. But now I get the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: link in mediawiki/htdocs/extensions/WhosOnline/WhosOnlineSpecialPage.php on line 88

:It fixed my issues. [[User:Mlpearc|'''Mlpearc''']] ([[User talk:Mlpearc|'''open channel''']]) 20:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

:change <code>$links = $wgContLang->specialpage( 'WhosOnline' );</code> to <code>$link = $wgContLang->specialpage( 'WhosOnline' );</code> --[[Special:Contributions/178.24.206.247|178.24.206.247]] 20:13, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

== Show the online time a user is logged on ==

Hi,
I like the extension, but I'm also interested in seeing how long a user is online, so I made a few modifications, giving me the following output:

<pre>
Who's online
View (previous 50 | next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

161.90.43.138 Online for 0 hours 24 minutes 43 seconds
Admin [Admin] Online for 0 hours 34 minutes 8 seconds

</pre>

Are you interested in the code? Maybe it can be implemented as an extra option so that someone can choose whether or not to show the online time.

Update: Modified it so it can be optional with an extra variable $wgWhosOnlineShowTime. {{unsigned|DikkieDick|10:37, 27 February 2015}}

:{{ping|DikkieDick}} Sharing is caring, so it'd be lovely if you could share your modifications. :-) --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|Contact]]) 21:18, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Update: I also removed the deletion of the entry db->delete etc.

And when you go for the first time to the Who's Online specialpage it will be empty. When refreshing it will show f.e. you as being logged on for a few seconds where you might have been online for a while.

:The Problem is wfViewPrevNext used in getNavigationBar, Deprecated since 1.19 and removed in 1.24. You should replace getNavigationBar in WhosOnlineSpecialPage.php with this:

<pre>
function getNavigationBar() {
global $wgContLang,$wgLang;

$query = '';
$offset = $this->mOffset;
$limit = $this->mLimit;
$link = $wgContLang->specialpage( 'WhosOnline' );
$atend = $this->countUsersOnline() < ( $this->mLimit + $this->mOffset ); // show next link

$query = wfCgiToArray( '' );
if( is_object( $link ) ) {
$title = $link;
} else {
$title = Title::newFromText( $link );
if( is_null( $title ) ) {
return false;
}
}

return $wgLang->viewPrevNext(
$title,
$offset,
$limit,
$query,
$atend);
}
}
</pre>

May be not perfect but it work. --[[Special:Contributions/79.209.109.156|79.209.109.156]] 18:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
: Yes I can confirm too that the solution above works with MW1.24 ([http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Special:WhosOnline example]). Thanx again ! Would be nice if someone who has the powers and the know how could merge it into the Git master :) - [[User:Daniel K. Schneider|Daniel K. Schneider]] ([[User talk:Daniel K.

Update: Tried to get this extension working in 1.23 and received the same error-message, but the above modification is a correct solution to get it working in MW 1.23.

== New Bug in Mediawiki 1.24 ==

Hi

Did the change listed above to get the Special Page working. But now I get the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: link in mediawiki/htdocs/extensions/WhosOnline/WhosOnlineSpecialPage.php on line 88

== Show the online time a user is logged on ==

Hi,
I like the extension, but I'm also interested in seeing how long a user is online, so I made a few modifications, giving me the following output:

<pre>
Who's online
View (previous 50 | next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

161.90.43.138 Online for 0 hours 24 minutes 43 seconds
Admin [Admin] Online for 0 hours 34 minutes 8 seconds

</pre>

Are you interested in the code? Maybe it can be implemented as an extra option so that someone can choose whether or not to show the online time.

Update: Modified it so it can be optional with an extra variable $wgWhosOnlineShowTime. {{unsigned|DikkieDick|10:37, 27 February 2015}}

And when you go for the first time to the Who's Online specialpage it will be empty. When refreshing it will show f.e. you as being logged on for a few seconds where you might have been online for a while.

== Wiki pages not editable due to token_suffix_mismatch ==

In a personal wiki I cannot edit pages anymore. After clicking on "save changes" I am redirected to the preview page and get an error message:

german verison:

'''Deine Bearbeitung wurde zurückgewiesen, da dein Browser Zeichen im Bearbeiten-Token verstümmelt hat.''' Eine Speicherung kann den Seiteninhalt zerstören. Dies geschieht bisweilen durch die Benutzung eines anonymen Proxy-Dienstes, der fehlerhaft arbeitet.

english version:

'''Your edit has been rejected because your client incorrectly handled the punctuation characters in the edit token.''' The edit has been rejected to prevent corruption of the page text. This sometimes happens when you are using a defective web-based anonymous proxy service.

The internal error code is token_suffix_mismatch. In PHP the option magic_quotes_gpc is activated by the provider.

I don't know how I can solve this problem. Do I have to adjust the configuration?

Hi,

when I visit the Special Pages this error is shown:

Notice: Did not find alias for special page 'GetData'. Perhaps no aliases are defined for it? [Called from SpecialPageFactory::getLocalNameFor in /var/lib/mediawiki/includes/specialpage/SpecialPageFactory.php at line 688] in /var/lib/mediawiki/includes/debug/MWDebug.php on line 300

== Upgrade to 1.28 to use slideshow but doesn't work ==

I upgraded to this version, only to use this new option but doesn't work.

Options like below works normally.:
* <code>traditional</code> is the original gallery type used by MediaWiki.
* <code>nolines</code> is similar to <code>traditional</code>, but with no border lines.
* <code>packed</code> causes images to have the same height but different widths, with little space between the images. The rows in this [[Responsive web design|responsive]] mode organize themselves according to the width of the screen.
* <code>packed-overlay</code> shows the caption overlaid on the image, in a semi-transparent white box.
* <code>packed-hover</code> is similar to <code>packed-overlay</code>, but with the caption and box only showing up on hover.

Need help.

== refreshLinks jobs remaining after runJobs.php ==

I noticed I always have jobs left in the jobs queue. Had a look at the table and they are all either refreshLinks or refreshLinksPriority jobs. I figured that running runJobs.php should clean them up, but it doesn't.

I have tried setting jobattemtps = 0 on all, and that doesn't fix the issue. I also tried clearing them all out, but they re-appear.

The reason I even started looking at this was that categories and wanted pages and similar don't seem to be updating.

Stumped :-( [[User:Tenbergen|Tenbergen]] ([[User talk:Tenbergen|talk]]) 17:56, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
:I'm not sure why categories wouldn't be updated, but it is normal to have refreshLinks jobs. You can run down the queue, but it might take longer than you think.

:I agree that it's not why categories are not updating, but am trying to get to a point where I can look one thing at a time. I wanted to start with a clean jobs queue to see what happens in there when an article is added to a category. I was almost not going to mention that part lest we get lost down that trail.
:I understand that it can take time to empty the jobs queue, but I don't think that is the issue here. If I run runJobs.php manually it takes a bit of time the first time and shows text as it runs.

:Is there any general maintenance/fix script I could run? EG something that would just re-parse all the markup?

== Updating 1.25 to 1.28 ==

I think I have done everything correctly. I now have two directories. wiki and wiki.1.28. I changed wiki.1.28 to wiki and wiki to wiki.archive. Then the wiki did not work. When I changed back it worked again. The owner, group, and permissions are the same. I think the issue is the .htaccess file? There is not a .htaccess file in the wiki directory or the root directory. I get this error when I try to run wiki.1.28 as wiki:

== How to download Mediawiki 1.19 ==

Hello,

Need to move our wiki to some new hardware, but unfortunately it will not work on the latest version of the mediawiki software - we've tried.

So, this does not seem to be in the FAQ, maybe it should be.

Oh, to make life more interesting, I'm on a ship in the Pacific with very limited bandwidth, so whatever is the most efficient method :-) Would love an http link to a tarball, but cannot seem to find one.

Thanks!

:If your bandwith is limited and if the server with the MediaWiki installation on it is ''not'' on your ship, then it might be the fastest solution to move the files from one server to the other using tools like rsync or wget. With e.g. wget you will also be able to transfer the tarball to the new server - without having to ''download'' it ''to'' the ship and without having to ''upload'' it again ''from'' the ship.

:Thanks for the replies - I don't understand why I could not find the download link. I know I looked down realeases.wikimedia.org.
:Yes, do like wget - use it a lot, especially with the -c option - transfers tend to die a lot here, especially when we loose the link totally.

I have miktex intalled and latex is in the path. I edited LocalSettings as explained but I still receive the message: Failed to parse (Missing texvc executable; please see math/README to configure.)

== Logo ==

The Logo section says to use the relative URL, however I had to use the full canonical URL... What gives?

*<WHY> did you have to use the full URL? Maybe you were having the same problem I was... I think:
$wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/wiki.png";
Should be:
$wgLogo = "{$wgStylePath}/common/images/wiki.png";
and you need to define $wgStylePath not as "/var/www/html/wiki/skins/" (or whatever, that's the path from / on my machine), but as the URL path (and thanks to YOUR clue, whoever you are, I found that):
$wgStylePath = "/wiki/skins/"
This works like a charm for me, so I'm going to edit the Manual:LocalSettings.php so others with no previous knowledge of mediawiki setup will not be lead astray the way I was. Cheers!

::[[Manual:$wgLogo]] is the more full and complete documentation of this. It says the value is absolute or relative. The current instructions on this page are non-specific on this, but correct. They describe the standard approach as...
::<tt>$wgLogo = "{$wgStylePath}/common/images/wiki.png";</tt>
::...which is sort of relative, but actually absolute :-)

== How do I get my domain name to work? ==

I have an add on domain set up in my cpanel to point to the wiki directory inside my root directory. What do I need to do for newusconstitutionwiki.org to open when the domain name is typed. When I type in newusconstitutionwiki.org I get the following error:

'''The requested URL /constitutionwiki/index.php5 was not found on this server.'''

That is the correct name (constitutionwiki) for the directory I have the mediawiki files in!

This is the path I see in the address bar:

== Problem with installer ==

After walking through the installation, I get the "Complete!" page, telling me that I have successfully installed mediawiki.

The installer has generated a localsettings.php file.

The download offered, and the link on the page throws this error, however:

"Internet Explorer cannot download index.php from localhost.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."

Restarting the installation results in same answer. Without this file I can't get into my wiki because it believes it to be unconfigured.

Suggestions?

We also have this same problem. We have no other browsers we are allowed to use.
Surely this should be fixed not "get another browser"?

== Check user permissions before loading extension ==

Hello. I was wondering if there is a possibility to check the permissions of a wikiuser inside <code>LocalSettings.php</code> and depending on the outcome load an extension? Now we are using the below code, this works fine when the wikiuser uses the same laptop or computer all the time but that is often not the case.
<source lang = "php">$remhost = array("laptopname1", "computername2");

if (in_array($_SERVER["REMOTE_HOST"], $remhost )) {

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

}</source>

If possible, we would like to check if a wikiuser is member of a group like the '''sysop''''s and only then load '''extensionx'''. If the user is not part of the '''sysop''' group the extension is not loaded. Then it does not matter on which computer or laptop the user is working. Regards, --[[User:Jongfeli|Jongfeli]] ([[User talk:Jongfeli|talk]]) 07:32, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
:I would say that is not possible: At the time when LocalSettings is first read (and so when the extensions are included), a [[Manual:$wgUser|user object]] does not yet necessarily exist. Consequently, ''at that point'', you ''cannot'' check permissions of a MediaWiki user. --[[User:Jörgi123|Jörgi123]] ([[User talk:Jörgi123|talk]]) 16:19, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

== How to keep ones LocalSettings.php up to date ==

Mention How to keep ones LocalSettings.php up to date. I.e., one can update all the files except for LocalSettings.php, which still needs a way to keep it somewhat in step with what is generated for new installations. [[User:Jidanni|Jidanni]] ([[User talk:Jidanni|talk]]) 12:36, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

:I don't think people really keep the file up to date with what would be generated, if it was a new install. I once did that and I ended up manually comparing the content and merging where it seemed appropriate. But it is not really much, what you would have to update; most things are actually custom to the according installation and will not be gernerated during setup.
:If it however was vital to update that file, then I would expect MediaWiki to do that during upgrade. Other systems do have such upgrade wizards, which upgrade the central configuration file. However, MediaWiki does ''not'' have something like that. --[[Special:Contributions/88.130.88.162|88.130.88.162]] 22:22, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Does anyone here know whether any Wikimedia "content wikis" (English Wikipedia, German Wiktionary, etc.) actually use LocalSettings.php files? I know that [//noc.wikimedia.org/conf/CommonSettings.php.txt CommonSettings.php] "includes" the settings in [//noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt InitialiseSettings.php] (both publicly viewable), but CommonSettings also claims to be "included" by LocalSettings.php (which would not be publicly viewable).

I have made sure the pygmentize binary is '''executable''' and i've run it myself with -V and got version 1.21 which is in the 1.28.0 mediawiki tar.gz.

== How do I reuse MediaWiki templates between wikis? ==

Hello.

While editiing my wikis a lot I noticed that I would like to create a sort of a library out of the templates that are used on all of those wikis (especially the ones that put metadata onto pages in Semantic MediaWiki). This question may be too broad, but what are the best practices of sharing MediaWiki markup between wikis? Would it be possible to make it in "library fashion" somehow so I could put the templates in a certain repository? Another point of such an approach, I think, might be just sharing the templates world-wide, let's say, on GitHub/BitBucket/etc.

Any advices and answers are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! [[Special:Contributions/195.234.74.168|195.234.74.168]] ([[User talk:195.234.74.168|talk]]) 17:52, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
:Of course, templates can be complex, site-specific creatures with dependencies on many other templates, extensions, semantic data, etc., which then also need to be transcluded or enabled on your wiki - simply borrowing a template would not always work out of the box. I think you would need to come up with your own way of managing the templates that you need for your wikis. If you are using SMW, you could use that to store data about their usage and create some sort of a library.
:See also: [[Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding]] (but the above comment also applies here). [[User:Cavila|Cavila]] 09:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:Hi Cavila, and thank you for the reply. I usually design (if this word applies here well) decoupled templates as much as possible. It brings some complexity and templates amount bloat, but the very main "core" templates are perfect candidates to be reused or demonstrate MediaWiki markup or template techiniques. I thought it might be something like a syncing bridge between a VCS and MediaWiki (have no real idea how it would work though). A few years ago I asked if MediaWiki supports a VCS-integration, but it was never implemented. Another option I thought about was git-remote-mediawiki helper use, but I don't find the latter a reliable solution ignoring non-main namespaces like `Template:` or extremely hard way to rebase the commits in order to put a single file change into a single commit (but it really helped me *very much* to restore a really big part once my wiki crashed and lost its database, though). Anyway thank you very much for the suggestions! [[Special:Contributions/195.234.74.168|195.234.74.168]] ([[User talk:195.234.74.168|talk]]) 11:14, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

== GoogleDocTag ==

I haven't been able to get this extension to work in 1.27. It has worked in previous versions in my wiki and I verified that I have the google link correctly. I noticed that the extension download page identifies it as a 'beta.' Is there anyone who can confirm that this extension works in 1.27 (or even 1.28)? Can someone suggest a solution? Thank you. http://wiki.worldofasdar.com 04:13, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
:There has been a similar report on [[Extension talk:GoogleDocTag]]. The code of the extension has last been changed in 2013 - maybe it is just not working with current MediaWiki versions currently.

== LDAP + Mediawiki ==

Hi,

<nowiki>====</nowiki>

Hi,

I am trying to install in another server mediawiki with auth LDAP on main server. (iredMail really + LDAP)

I have LDAP installed and working on main server and mediawiki running too in another server. Now I want to install plugin LDAP on mediawiki, but I can't do it because I receive some fails.

Info

LocalSettings.php

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

$wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();

$wgLDAPDomainNames = array("iRedMail");

$wgLDAPServerNames = array("iRedMail" => "192.168.XX.XX");

$wgLDAPPort = array("iRedMail" => 389);

$wgLDAPEncryptionType = array( "iRedMail" => "clear");

$wgLDAPBaseDNs = array( "iRedMail"=>"o=domains,dc=example,dc=com");

$wgLDAPProxyAgent = array("iRedMail"=>"cn=vmail,dc=example,dc=com");

$wgLDAPProxyAgentPassword = array( "iRedMail"=>"PasswordBindPW");

$wgLDAPUserBaseDNs = array( "iRedMail"=>"o=domains,dc=example,dc=com");

$wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array( "iRedMail" => "mail");

$wgLDAPLowerCaseUsername = array( "iRedMail"=>true);

$wgLDAPUseLocal = true;

$wgLDAPDebug = 3;

$wgDebugLogGroups['ldap'] = '/tmp/debug.log';

If I try to connect I receive this on debug.log

I see "Succesfully" on connect to LDAP server but Mediawiki can't login with this error:

Why? How could I fix it?

Maybe Should I edit some config on Mediawiki to disable automatic creation account?

Maybe Am I using bad values on String?

== MediaWiki still can't upload non-ascii filenames ==

There was a bug that images with cyrillic filenames couldn't been uploaded on a Windows server. It was fixed in the new php 7.1.0

Now you can rename the file and it does work with non-ascii filename , BUT you can't just upload it with a cyrillic filename from the beginning - MediaWiki 1.28 still shows the same message "This wiki doesnt work with non-ascii characters".

Hello all. Just upgraded via dnf (Fedora 24) from mediawiki 1.26.4-1 to 1.27.1-1. I ran the db upgrade script with no problem. When I try to access the wiki now, I get this error:

:You need to access your site file system / directory, probably through cPanel. You could use FTP too but dont worry about that. Just log into your account on the host then you will see some options.

== Italic terms in page title ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

I'm interested at my MediaWiki installation to have italic terms in page titles. The page titles of several pages should not be complete in italic, only parts of it.

I found at English Wikipedia there is a template "Italic title" in use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Italic_title

A sample usage of this template is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontline_(Australian_TV_series)

It fits to my expectation: The term "Frontline" is shown in italic, the term "(Australian TV series)" not (it's regular). Fine.

Before I start to copy this template and install it at my WikiMedia installation, I'd like to know how to use it. In general, I know how to use templates. But: How does the sample page use this template?

By inspecting the wikitext of the the sample page I couldn't detect the usage of the template.

== Upgrading from 1.19.15 to 1.28.0: Revision X of the page named 'Title page' does not exist ==

Hello,

I'm moving a Mediawiki installation to another host. Version 1.19 is not compatible with some libraries in newer Linux versions, so I'm upgrading it, too.

I've downloaded 1.28 sources, uploaded 'images' and 'skins' from the old version, restored the database dump (the name of the database has changed), copied and edited LocalSettings (edited wgServer, wgDBname, sbDBuser, edited skin loading, commented out all extensions), ran update.php.

When I open the title page of the wiki, I get the following message:

The revision #23968 of the page named "Заглавная страница" does not exist.

("Заглавная страница" is Russian for Title page)

The deletion log lists all edits from the old wiki, but none of them is available. When I open random pages for the 'All pages' list, most of them give the same error message. Some (at least three of them) contain the original text. Could you, please, point to what I'm doing wrong?

Here's how I install and upgrade Mediawiki:

<nowiki>#CREATE DATABASE mediawiki;
#grant all privileges on mediawiki.* to 'mediawiki'@'localhost' identified by 'xxx';
mysql mediawiki < oldwiki.sql

wget --no-check-certificate https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.28/mediawiki-1.28.0.tar.gz

== Create Index pages with semantic properties ==

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a way to create Index pages (those ones created with Proofread Extension) and make every field a semantic property. So I guess there are two ways:

1) I should fille each box of my Index with semantic properties;

2) use a Form to create Index pages.

The first way is easier but longer; the second one seems to me more practical but I don't know how to realize it.

I use PageForms to create forms.

Any suggestions? [[User:Loman87|Loman87]] ([[User talk:Loman87|talk]]) 12:11, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

== Need help ==

Hi mediawiki. For school I need to host an mediawiki server. The installation went fine but accesing the web interface with another computer brings problems, I hope someone can help me.
# When other people try to find my server they only can detect it with <nowiki>http://(IP-adress)</nowiki> but when they want to go to another subject (lets say they're on my homepage and want to go to <nowiki>''</nowiki>history<nowiki>''</nowiki>) the URL (IP-Adres) loops to <nowiki>http://localhost</nowiki> and then it gives and error. But they can find it by typing (Ip-Adres)/history but by clicking manualy the url changes and it gives an error instead of the history page.
# I'm hosting my server in XAMPP and when I go to localhost I instantly come on the XAMMP page instead of my mediawiki page, is there a way to change that?

== MediaWiki does not use skin layout on specific pages. ==

Updated the MediaWiki to version 1.27.1

with BlueSpice 2.27.0

Using Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6 on CentOS 5

Selected language: NL (Dutch)

For example, the Mainpage, Login page and when entering Edit mode do not show in the correct page layout.

In fact. No layout is displayed.

Folder rights checked, should be fine.

Temp folder is accessible by PHP

Also set $wgAllowSiteCSSOnRestrictedPages = true; $wgUseSiteCss = true;

== Search results and other links are downloaded instead of being rendered ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Our company wiki has been working for years and has been updated to 1.26.3 a few months ago without problems. A few weeks ago it started downloading some pages instead of rendering them.

If the search term does not match the title of a page, the search result page is shown and clicking on one of the search result items works well.

If the search term matches the title of a page, pressing enter or clicking on the page title shown at the top of the list, downloads the page instead of showing it. Clicking on the <code>Containing...</code> link below the page name, then the search result page is shown and everything works well.

Clicking the <code>Save page</code> button after editing a page, the page will be downloaded. Canceling the download and clicking the <code>Read</code> link shows the page with the last editing properly saved.

The downloaded file is called <code>index.php</code>, it starts with the following text and has some binary data after that (I assume that's the compressed page content). I don't understand why there are the first two lines:

Hi,

I wonder if it's possible to block or unblock a certain page by IP Address.

Is it possible to set an acl whit the IP range ?

I set the $wgSecureLogin to true and I change the $wgServer to the IP of the box as is in place on another wiki of mine that is working with https however I did not set that one up so I am not sure what else I might be missing. Also important to note that it works over http when securelogin is set to false however upon setting to true the site is not accessible via either http or https.

any help is greatly appreciated

thanks

== Retrieving JSON with thumbnails for Category members ==

How to retrieve json response of category member with thumbnail url in it.
I have more than 100 items in '''category members .'''

What query shall i use in the url for retrieving thumbnails for each and every category members in the list('''more than 100 items''') for JSON response of the category member.

I tried using "prop=pageimages" query parameter but I'm able to retrieve only 50 max objects in JSON containing thumbnails url in it. What is the alternative to receive thumbnail for every members as they all have images in the page too added in the correct format.

Example url i used:

[http://ayurwiki.org/api.php?gcmlimit=max&action=query&gcmtitle=Category%3AHerbs&pilimit=max&prop=pageimages&pilimit=max&pithumbsize=100&generator=categorymembers&format=json&continue= http://example.org/api.php?gcmlimit=max&action=query&gcmtitle=Category%3AName&pilimit=max&prop=pageimages&pilimit=max&pithumbsize=100&generator=categorymembers&format=json&continue=]

== Error: 1 cannot start a transaction within a transaction ==

Since I updated to mediawiki-1.28.0 from mediawiki-1.26.2 yesterday, I've been getting the following error, usually when I save or preview an edited page, and occasionally when I access a page:

Original exception: [a53679567296387f8f2003e6] /~dabeidle/mediawiki-1.28.0/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=submit DBQueryError from line 1054 of /Users/dabeidle/Sites/mediawiki-1.28.0/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?
Query: BEGIN
Function: Database::query (MessageCache::loadFromDB(en)-big)
Error: 1 cannot start a transaction within a transaction

If I resubmit the edit page, the changes are saved (usually after the 3rd attempt). On a query, reloading the page works.

One change I made from the previous version was to change the database ownership from _www:_www to my account, with corresponding changes in http.conf. This is a local, private wiki running on macOS Sierra 10.12.1, PHP 5.6.25, SQLite 3.8.10.2 as a personal knowledge base so access from the Internet is not possible.

The questions I have are: "Did I encounter a regression that I need to log as a bug?" in which case I can provide more detail, or "Did I miss something (probably simple) in the upgrade or configuration?"

== Display of restrictive category listings ==

Hi all,

I’m looking for the best way to display categories and subcategories, and then subsequently only the documents that belong to those two categories.

E.g.
“Foo” has a category of “A” and “B”.
“Boo” has a category of “B”.

I would like the user to click on category “A”, and drilldown to category “B”. Once they click on “B”, “Foo” appears, but “Boo” does not, as Boo does not belong to category “A”.

== Updated to 1.28 today and i cannot get the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi working ==

The wiki is working normally after upgrade in that it shows all my pages, files, etc. However, all my highlights in bash, perl, python, etc. are showing up like <nowiki><pre> sections instead of with colors like they normally did before the upgrade. Here is the output of my Version page:</nowiki>

I have made sure the pygmentize binary is '''executable''' and i've run it myself with -V and got version 1.21 which is in the 1.28.0 mediawiki tar.gz.

Does anyone have any idea of anything I might have missed?

== Problem with autoload file. ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Hi,

After updating to 1.28 file "autoload.php" every few minutes automatically changes the file name to "autoload.php.off.php" and displays a blank page. How to fix it?

Edit: The interesting thing is that on the local host (xampp) everythings works very well. I don't know what's going on. PHP Info http://bit(dot)ly/2gKGZzz

== Question about sorting ==

Is it - or will it be - possible for other extensions such as Semantic MediaWiki to use [[Manual:$wgCategoryCollation|$wgCategoryCollation]] and rely on options such as <nowiki><tt>uca-default</tt></nowiki>, etc. for their own listings (rather than just MW's native category listings)?

I have some questions. In mediawiki sandbox when you create a block code (with Visual Editor) you have suggestions when you write (class, def, ...) and you can tabulate code. ¿What is the extension?.

== How do I reuse MediaWiki templates between wikis? ==

Hello.

While editiing my wikis a lot I noticed that I would like to create a sort of a library out of the templates that are used on all of those wikis (especially the ones that put metadata onto pages in Semantic MediaWiki). This question may be too broad, but what are the best practices of sharing MediaWiki markup between wikis? Would it be possible to make it in "library fashion" somehow so I could put the templates in a certain repository? Another point of such an approach, I think, might be just sharing the templates world-wide, let's say, on GitHub/BitBucket/etc.

Any advices and answers are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! [[Special:Contributions/195.234.74.168|195.234.74.168]] ([[User talk:195.234.74.168|talk]]) 17:52, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
:Of course, templates can be complex, site-specific creatures with dependencies on many other templates, extensions, semantic data, etc., which then also need to be transcluded or enabled on your wiki - simply borrowing a template would not always work out of the box. I think you would need to come up with your own way of managing the templates that you need for your wikis. If you are using SMW, you could use that to store data about their usage and create some sort of a library.
:See also: [[Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding]] (but the above comment also applies here). [[User:Cavila|Cavila]] 09:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:Hi Cavila, and thank you for the reply. I usually design (if this word applies here well) decoupled templates as much as possible. It brings some complexity and templates amount bloat, but the very main "core" templates are perfect candidates to be reused or demonstrate MediaWiki markup or template techiniques. I thought it might be something like a syncing bridge between a VCS and MediaWiki (have no real idea how it would work though). A few years ago I asked if MediaWiki supports a VCS-integration, but it was never implemented. Another option I thought about was git-remote-mediawiki helper use, but I don't find the latter a reliable solution ignoring non-main namespaces like `Template:` or extremely hard way to rebase the commits in order to put a single file change into a single commit (but it really helped me *very much* to restore a really big part once my wiki crashed and lost its database, though). Anyway thank you very much for the suggestions! [[Special:Contributions/195.234.74.168|195.234.74.168]] ([[User talk:195.234.74.168|talk]]) 11:14, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

== LDAP + Mediawiki ==

Hi,

<nowiki>====</nowiki>

Hi,

I am trying to install in another server mediawiki with auth LDAP on main server. (iredMail really + LDAP)

I have LDAP installed and working on main server and mediawiki running too in another server. Now I want to install plugin LDAP on mediawiki, but I can't do it because I receive some fails.

== MediaWiki still can't upload non-ascii filenames ==

There was a bug that images with cyrillic filenames couldn't been uploaded on a Windows server. It was fixed in the new php 7.1.0

Now you can rename the file and it does work with non-ascii filename , BUT you can't just upload it with a cyrillic filename from the beginning - MediaWiki 1.28 still shows the same message "This wiki doesnt work with non-ascii characters".

:You need to access your site file system / directory, probably through cPanel. You could use FTP too but dont worry about that. Just log into your account on the host then you will see some options. It might just direct you to cPanel straight away. Then find the 'file manager' and go into that. Then you need to go into public_html which contains your mediawiki installation. Then youll see an 'extensions' folder. Double click that, then go upload from the top menu options. Upload the ZIPPED folder of Parser functions, the unchanged file download of it, do not unzip it before, then once its uploaded itll be in the extensions folder. Then you unzip it in cPanel and make sure its called ParserFunctions rename it if you need to.

== Italic terms in page title ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

I'm interested at my MediaWiki installation to have italic terms in page titles. The page titles of several pages should not be complete in italic, only parts of it.

I found at English Wikipedia there is a template "Italic title" in use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Italic_title

A sample usage of this template is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontline_(Australian_TV_series)

It fits to my expectation: The term "Frontline" is shown in italic, the term "(Australian TV series)" not (it's regular). Fine.

Before I start to copy this template and install it at my WikiMedia installation, I'd like to know how to use it. In general, I know how to use templates. But: How does the sample page use this template?

By inspecting the wikitext of the the sample page I couldn't detect the usage of the template.

What am I missing? [[User:Hasenläufer|Hasenläufer]] ([[User talk:Hasenläufer|talk]]) 00:16, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

== Upgrading from 1.19.15 to 1.28.0: Revision X of the page named 'Title page' does not exist ==

Hello,

I'm moving a Mediawiki installation to another host. Version 1.19 is not compatible with some libraries in newer Linux versions, so I'm upgrading it, too.

I've downloaded 1.28 sources, uploaded 'images' and 'skins' from the old version, restored the database dump (the name of the database has changed), copied and edited LocalSettings (edited wgServer, wgDBname, sbDBuser, edited skin loading, commented out all extensions), ran update.php.

When I open the title page of the wiki, I get the following message:

The revision #23968 of the page named "Заглавная страница" does not exist.

("Заглавная страница" is Russian for Title page)

The deletion log lists all edits from the old wiki, but none of them is available. When I open random pages for the 'All pages' list, most of them give the same error message. Some (at least three of them) contain the original text. Could you, please, point to what I'm doing wrong?

Here's how I install and upgrade Mediawiki:

#grant all privileges on mediawiki.* to 'mediawiki'@'localhost' identified by 'xxx';

== Create Index pages with semantic properties ==

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a way to create Index pages (those ones created with Proofread Extension) and make every field a semantic property. So I guess there are two ways:

1) I should fille each box of my Index with semantic properties;

2) use a Form to create Index pages.

The first way is easier but longer; the second one seems to me more practical but I don't know how to realize it.

I use PageForms to create forms.

Hi mediawiki. For school I need to host an mediawiki server. The installation went fine but accesing the web interface with another computer brings problems, I hope someone can help me.

But they can find it by typing (Ip-Adres)/history but by clicking manualy the url changes and it gives an error instead of the history page.

== MediaWiki does not use skin layout on specific pages. ==

Updated the MediaWiki to version 1.27.1

with BlueSpice 2.27.0

Using Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6 on CentOS 5

Selected language: NL (Dutch)

For example, the Mainpage, Login page and when entering Edit mode do not show in the correct page layout.

In fact. No layout is displayed.

Folder rights checked, should be fine.

Temp folder is accessible by PHP

Also set $wgAllowSiteCSSOnRestrictedPages = true; $wgUseSiteCss = true;

Please advice.... [[User:Ivoets|Ivoets]] ([[User talk:Ivoets|talk]]) 19:17, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

== Search results and other links are downloaded instead of being rendered ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Our company wiki has been working for years and has been updated to 1.26.3 a few months ago without problems. A few weeks ago it started downloading some pages instead of rendering them.

If the search term does not match the title of a page, the search result page is shown and clicking on one of the search result items works well.

If the search term matches the title of a page, pressing enter or clicking on the page title shown at the top of the list, downloads the page instead of showing it. Clicking on the <code>Containing...</code> link below the page name, then the search result page is shown and everything works well.

Clicking the <code>Save page</code> button after editing a page, the page will be downloaded. Canceling the download and clicking the <code>Read</code> link shows the page with the last editing properly saved.

The downloaded file is called <code>index.php</code>, it starts with the following text and has some binary data after that (I assume that's the compressed page content). I don't understand why there are the first two lines:

== Block/Unblock a page by IP ==

Hi,

I wonder if it's possible to block or unblock a certain page by IP Address.

Example I have a page that is only accessible to some group, but inside a range of IP i want that anyone can see this page without the need of having an account.

Is it possible to set an acl whit the IP range ?

Best regards,

From there, access the user object and retrieve the IP address. If the address is inside the range you want, then add the user to a special group. Or: In case of such an IP, directly change the group membership to include the permission you want.

== Steps to use mediawiki over https ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

Can anyone fill me in on the steps and process for enabling https on a mediawiki page? I set the $wgSecureLogin to true and I change the $wgServer to the IP of the box as is in place on another wiki of mine that is working with https however I did not set that one up so I am not sure what else I might be missing. Also important to note that it works over http when securelogin is set to false however upon setting to true the site is not accessible via either http or https.

any help is greatly appreciated

thanks

<nowiki>#</nowiki>$wgSecureLogin = true;

$wgServer = "//10.10.10.1";

When I enable the wgSecureLogin i cant access the site at all (http or https). I have a second instance of mediawiki on a different server that is working via https but i am not sure why i cannot get this instance to work?

== Retrieving JSON with thumbnails for Category members ==

How to retrieve json response of category member with thumbnail url in it.
I have more than 100 items in '''category members .'''

What query shall i use in the url for retrieving thumbnails for each and every category members in the list('''more than 100 items''') for JSON response of the category member.

I tried using "prop=pageimages" query parameter but I'm able to retrieve only 50 max objects in JSON containing thumbnails url in it. What is the alternative to receive thumbnail for every members as they all have images in the page too added in the correct format.

Example url i used:

[http://ayurwiki.org/api.php?gcmlimit=max&action=query&gcmtitle=Category%3AHerbs&pilimit=max&prop=pageimages&pilimit=max&pithumbsize=100&generator=categorymembers&format=json&continue= http://example.org/api.php?gcmlimit=max&action=query&gcmtitle=Category%3AName&pilimit=max&prop=pageimages&pilimit=max&pithumbsize=100&generator=categorymembers&format=json&continue=]

Its a url to show example above, not a real live url to check

Please help me sort it ASAP.

== Error: 1 cannot start a transaction within a transaction ==

Since I updated to mediawiki-1.28.0 from mediawiki-1.26.2 yesterday, I've been getting the following error, usually when I save or preview an edited page, and occasionally when I access a page:

Original exception: [a53679567296387f8f2003e6] /~dabeidle/mediawiki-1.28.0/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=submit DBQueryError from line 1054 of /Users/dabeidle/Sites/mediawiki-1.28.0/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?
Query: BEGIN
Function: Database::query (MessageCache::loadFromDB(en)-big)
Error: 1 cannot start a transaction within a transaction

If I resubmit the edit page, the changes are saved (usually after the 3rd attempt). On a query, reloading the page works.

One change I made from the previous version was to change the database ownership from _www:_www to my account, with corresponding changes in http.conf. This is a local, private wiki running on macOS Sierra 10.12.1, PHP 5.6.25, SQLite 3.8.10.2 as a personal knowledge base so access from the Internet is not possible.

The questions I have are: "Did I encounter a regression that I need to log as a bug?" in which case I can provide more detail, or "Did I miss something (probably simple) in the upgrade or configuration?"

== Display of restrictive category listings ==

Hi all,

I’m looking for the best way to display categories and subcategories, and then subsequently only the documents that belong to those two categories.

E.g.
“Foo” has a category of “A” and “B”.
“Boo” has a category of “B”.

I would like the user to click on category “A”, and drilldown to category “B”. Once they click on “B”, “Foo” appears, but “Boo” does not, as Boo does not belong to category “A”.

Thank you [[User:PaleoIsh|PaleoIsh]] ([[User talk:PaleoIsh|talk]]) 03:50, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello all, I have a question perhaps someone can help me with

So I have a offline Bitnami MediaWiki I use for some personal writing projects. I purchased a new SSD and Windows 10 to upgrade my computer recently. Before doing so I made a backup of the entire Bitnami folder and exported the MySQL. Now I am on my new SSD/W10 install trying to recreate the Wiki? What is the easiest way to do this? I tried installing the Bitnami MediaWiki stack and importing the SQL database file but it gave me errors? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! The Bitnami support forum seems very slow?

== How do I reuse MediaWiki templates between wikis? ==

Hello.

While editiing my wikis a lot I noticed that I would like to create a sort of a library out of the templates that are used on all of those wikis (especially the ones that put metadata onto pages in Semantic MediaWiki). This question may be too broad, but what are the best practices of sharing MediaWiki markup between wikis? Would it be possible to make it in "library fashion" somehow so I could put the templates in a certain repository? Another point of such an approach, I think, might be just sharing the templates world-wide, let's say, on GitHub/BitBucket/etc.

Any advices and answers are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! [[Special:Contributions/195.234.74.168|195.234.74.168]] ([[User talk:195.234.74.168|talk]]) 17:52, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
:Of course, templates can be complex, site-specific creatures with dependencies on many other templates, extensions, semantic data, etc., which then also need to be transcluded or enabled on your wiki - simply borrowing a template would not always work out of the box. I think you would need to come up with your own way of managing the templates that you need for your wikis. If you are using SMW, you could use that to store data about their usage and create some sort of a library.
:See also: [[Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding]] (but the above comment also applies here). [[User:Cavila|Cavila]] 09:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:Hi Cavila, and thank you for the reply. I usually design (if this word applies here well) decoupled templates as much as possible. It brings some complexity and templates amount bloat, but the very main "core" templates are perfect candidates to be reused or demonstrate MediaWiki markup or template techiniques. I thought it might be something like a syncing bridge between a VCS and MediaWiki (have no real idea how it would work though). A few years ago I asked if MediaWiki supports a VCS-integration, but it was never implemented. Another option I thought about was git-remote-mediawiki helper use, but I don't find the latter a reliable solution ignoring non-main namespaces like `Template:` or extremely hard way to rebase the commits in order to put a single file change into a single commit (but it really helped me *very much* to restore a really big part once my wiki crashed and lost its database, though). Anyway thank you very much for the suggestions! [[Special:Contributions/195.234.74.168|195.234.74.168]] ([[User talk:195.234.74.168|talk]]) 11:14, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

== LDAP + Mediawiki ==

Hi,

<nowiki>====</nowiki>

Hi,

I am trying to install in another server mediawiki with auth LDAP on main server. (iredMail really + LDAP)

I have LDAP installed and working on main server and mediawiki running too in another server. Now I want to install plugin LDAP on mediawiki, but I can't do it because I receive some fails.

Info

LocalSettings.php

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

$wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();

$wgLDAPDomainNames = array("iRedMail");

$wgLDAPServerNames = array("iRedMail" => "192.168.XX.XX");

$wgLDAPPort = array("iRedMail" => 389);

I see "Succesfully" on connect to LDAP server but Mediawiki can't login with this error:

Why? How could I fix it?

Maybe Should I edit some config on Mediawiki to disable automatic creation account?

Maybe Am I using bad values on String?

There was a bug that images with cyrillic filenames couldn't been uploaded on a Windows server. It was fixed in the new php 7.1.0

Now you can rename the file and it does work with non-ascii filename , BUT you can't just upload it with a cyrillic filename from the beginning - MediaWiki 1.28 still shows the same message "This wiki doesnt work with non-ascii characters".

:You need to access your site file system / directory, probably through cPanel. You could use FTP too but dont worry about that. Just log into your account on the host then you will see some options. It might just direct you to cPanel straight away. Then find the 'file manager' and go into that. Then you need to go into public_html which contains your mediawiki installation. Then youll see an 'extensions' folder. Double click that, then go upload from the top menu options. Upload the ZIPPED folder of Parser functions, the unchanged file download of it, do not unzip it before, then once its uploaded itll be in the extensions folder.

== Italic terms in page title ==
{{Archive top|status=resolved}}

I'm interested at my MediaWiki installation to have italic terms in page titles. The page titles of several pages should not be complete in italic, only parts of it.

I found at English Wikipedia there is a template "Italic title" in use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Italic_title

A sample usage of this template is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontline_(Australian_TV_series)

It fits to my expectation: The term "Frontline" is shown in italic, the term "(Australian TV series)" not (it's regular). Fine.

Before I start to copy this template and install it at my WikiMedia installation, I'd like to know how to use it. In general, I know how to use templates. But: How does the sample page use this template?

By inspecting the wikitext of the the sample page I couldn't detect the usage of the template.

What am I missing? [[User:Hasenläufer|Hasenläufer]] ([[User talk:Hasenläufer|talk]]) 00:16, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:I don't know if you really need a template: There are [[Manual:$wgAllowDisplayTitle]] and [[Manual:$wgRestrictDisplayTitle]], which allow you to use the magic word DISPLAYTITLE. Does that allow you to style the title the way you want? [[Special:Contributions/87.123.0.61|87.123.0.61]] ([[User talk:87.123.0.61|talk]]) 00:31, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

== How to make Dynamic text area / table to show different text values? ==

I want to have a text area / table of values which can change to display different values with a dropdown menu, the only thing I found that is kind of like it is this:

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Cho%27Gath

In the statistics section theres a little dropdown label which changes the values. I cant find out how they did it because the code is under a class which isnt in common.css. [[Special:Contributions/49.177.93.182|49.177.93.182]] ([[User talk:49.177.93.182|talk]]) 04:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

:Like I can make a global javascript variable in common.js:
:var example = 1;
:But mediawiki parser functions just evaluates it as a string I think. All im trying to do is to display other text when a dropdown item is selected. So I was trying to get the variable from the dropdown like this does:

:That's JavaScript code, a feature like this usually requires the page to contain already all the content to be displayed, organized in a sort of layers, which are all hidden except the one selected.

== Upgrading from 1.19.15 to 1.28.0: Revision X of the page named 'Title page' does not exist ==

Hello,

I'm moving a Mediawiki installation to another host. Version 1.19 is not compatible with some libraries in newer Linux versions, so I'm upgrading it, too.

I've downloaded 1.28 sources, uploaded 'images' and 'skins' from the old version, restored the database dump (the name of the database has changed), copied and edited LocalSettings (edited wgServer, wgDBname, sbDBuser, edited skin loading, commented out all extensions), ran update.php.

When I open the title page of the wiki, I get the following message:

The revision #23968 of the page named "Заглавная страница" does not exist.

("Заглавная страница" is Russian for Title page)

The deletion log lists all edits from the old wiki, but none of them is available. When I open random pages for the 'All pages' list, most of them give the same error message. Some (at least three of them) contain the original text. Could you, please, point to what I'm doing wrong?

Here's how I install and upgrade Mediawiki:

<nowiki>#CREATE DATABASE mediawiki;
#grant all privileges on mediawiki.* to 'mediawiki'@'localhost' identified by 'xxx';
mysql mediawiki < oldwiki.sql

== Create Index pages with semantic properties ==

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a way to create Index pages (those ones created with Proofread Extension) and make every field a semantic property. So I guess there are two ways:

1) I should fille each box of my Index with semantic properties;

2) use a Form to create Index pages.

The first way is easier but longer; the second one seems to me more practical but I don't know how to realize it.

I use PageForms to create forms.

== Need help ==

Hi mediawiki. For school I need to host an mediawiki server. The installation went fine but accesing the web interface with another computer brings problems, I hope someone can help me.
# When other people try to find my server they only can detect it with <nowiki>http://(IP-adress)</nowiki> but when they want to go to another subject (lets say they're on my homepage and want to go to <nowiki>''</nowiki>history<nowiki>''</nowiki>) the URL (IP-Adres) loops to <nowiki>http://localhost</nowiki> and then it gives and error. But they can find it by typing (Ip-Adres)/history but by clicking manualy the url changes and it gives an error instead of the history page.
# I'm hosting my server in XAMPP and when I go to localhost I instantly come on the XAMMP page instead of my mediawiki page, is there a way to change that?

Using Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6 on CentOS 5

Selected language: NL (Dutch)

For example, the Mainpage, Login page and when entering Edit mode do not show in the correct page layout.

In fact. No layout is displayed.

Folder rights checked, should be fine.

== Search results and other links are downloaded instead of being rendered ==

Our company wiki has been working for years and has been updated to 1.26.3 a few months ago without problems. A few weeks ago it started downloading some pages instead of rendering them.

If the search term does not match the title of a page, the search result page is shown and clicking on one of the search result items works well.

If the search term matches the title of a page, pressing enter or clicking on the page title shown at the top of the list, downloads the page instead of showing it. Clicking on the <code>Containing...</code> link below the page name, then the search result page is shown and everything works well.

Clicking the <code>Save page</code> button after editing a page, the page will be downloaded. Canceling the download and clicking the <code>Read</code> link shows the page with the last editing properly saved.

The downloaded file is called <code>index.php</code>, it starts with the following text and has some binary data after that (I assume that's the compressed page content). I don't understand why there are the first two lines:

I wonder if it's possible to block or unblock a certain page by IP Address.

== Retrieving JSON with thumbnails for Category members ==

How to retrieve json response of category member with thumbnail url in it.
I have more than 100 items in '''category members .'''

What query shall i use in the url for retrieving thumbnails for each and every category members in the list('''more than 100 items''') for JSON response of the category member.

I tried using "prop=pageimages" query parameter but I'm able to retrieve only 50 max objects in JSON containing thumbnails url in it. What is the alternative to receive thumbnail for every members as they all have images in the page too added in the correct format.

Example url i used:

[http://ayurwiki.org/api.php?gcmlimit=max&action=query&gcmtitle=Category%3AHerbs&pilimit=max&prop=pageimages&pilimit=max&pithumbsize=100&generator=categorymembers&format=json&continue= http://example.org/api.php?gcmlimit=max&action=query&gcmtitle=Category%3AName&pilimit=max&prop=pageimages&pilimit=max&pithumbsize=100&generator=categorymembers&format=json&continue=]

== Options for dark theme in Android APP missing ==

Hi there,

the former releases of the android app showed an option to turn the WIKIPEDIA APP theme into dark for better reading by night.
Now I can't find this trigger anymore, is there a chance to reactivate it?
I'm using APP Version 2.4.16-r.2016-10-14 [[Special:Contributions/80.81.3.182|80.81.3.182]] ([[User talk:80.81.3.182|talk]]) 16:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

== Error: 1 cannot start a transaction within a transaction ==

Since I updated to mediawiki-1.28.0 from mediawiki-1.26.2 yesterday, I've been getting the following error, usually when I save or preview an edited page, and occasionally when I access a page:

Original exception: [a53679567296387f8f2003e6] /~dabeidle/mediawiki-1.28.0/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=submit DBQueryError from line 1054 of /Users/dabeidle/Sites/mediawiki-1.28.0/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?
Query: BEGIN
Function: Database::query (MessageCache::loadFromDB(en)-big)
Error: 1 cannot start a transaction within a transaction

If I resubmit the edit page, the changes are saved (usually after the 3rd attempt). On a query, reloading the page works.

One change I made from the previous version was to change the database ownership from _www:_www to my account, with corresponding changes in http.conf. This is a local, private wiki running on macOS Sierra 10.12.1, PHP 5.6.25, SQLite 3.8.10.2 as a personal knowledge base so access from the Internet is not possible.

The questions I have are: "Did I encounter a regression that I need to log as a bug?" in which case I can provide more detail, or "Did I miss something (probably simple) in the upgrade or configuration?"

I followed the upgrade procedure on <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading>, including upgrading the SQLite3 database. [[User:Dbeidle|Dbeidle]] ([[User talk:Dbeidle|talk]]) 21:30, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

== Display of restrictive category listings ==

Hi all,

I’m looking for the best way to display categories and subcategories, and then subsequently only the documents that belong to those two categories.

E.g.
“Foo” has a category of “A” and “B”.
“Boo” has a category of “B”.

I would like the user to click on category “A”, and drilldown to category “B”. Once they click on “B”, “Foo” appears, but “Boo” does not, as Boo does not belong to category “A”.

Is this even possible? I know in html you can use target="_new" or "_blank" to <a> tags. Would love a Wikitext equivalent. [[User:Soonshort|Soonshort]] 09:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
:Mmmm, I also would like this feature. Where can I found an overview of feature requests? [[User:Timboliu|Timboliu]] 12:34, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
::Mmmm, me too.
:::Mmmm, me too.[2]
::::Mmmm, me too.[3]

August 2016: same here, is this still not an option ? Can somebody with more experience change the mediawiki:common.js ?

It is not possible with wiki code, as far as I know, but it can be done with JavaScript:

https://www.google.com/search?q=target=+_blank+javascript

You might find some easy copy-and-paste code at that search. When you find something you think may work for you, put it in your MediaWiki:Common.js. And, of course, report back the results of your research so others can benefit from it too. [[User:Badon|Badon]] ([[User talk:Badon|talk]]) 06:03, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

== Custom link title? ==

The default wikilink title is the target page title (this is undocumented). How do I specify a custom title that better matches the context?
Example: at [[w:Bohm interpretation]] there is a wikilink to [[w:Copenhagen interpretation]] and the title is "Copenhagen interpretation". It would be much more informative to make the title "the state of every particle is described by a wavefunction".
--[[User:Yecril|Yecril]] 08:07, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
:Which link? Anyway, you can have that result with <nowiki>[[Copenhagen interpretation|the state of every particle is described by a wavefunction]]</nowiki>. --[[User:Nemo bis|Nemo bis]] 18:05, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

== Link to "Special:Allpages" with the namespace parm set ==

We are using Mediawiki 1.8.2. It's easy to determine an external link like <nowiki>[[http://etc]]</nowiki> that points to "all pages" with the namespace parameter set - i.e. to a dynamic list of all existing user pages or all categories in a given Wiki. Does this work in Wiki syntax too? How? Thanks. Burkhard 29 Oct 2009

== Showing links on message pages ==
I want to create an internal link (to a specific wiki page) on a message page (MediaWiki:Badaccess-groups). So, when the user sees that page they will get a link to a page (access restriction) explaining more. When I add the link I see '''[[access restriction]]''' (bold, link: correct). But when a user who does not have access sees the page they see <nowiki>'''[[access restriction]]'''</nowiki> i.e. it looks to them like the nowiki tags are present.

Does anyone have a solution? --[[User:Robinson Weijman|Robinson Weijman]] 09:04, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey there,
I would like to have the content of one subpage of our Wiki to be displayed in a shorter version (perhaps headlines) in a table on our main page. Has anybody an idea how to do this. BTW I am not an expert....

== Problem with double quotation marks inside title ==
Hey there,
I've been looking for similar cases, but I haven't found anything on this yet. 
I have an article with double straight quotation marks in it (Foo article in "foo section"). 
The problem is that whenever I create a reference for that article (for example)
:<nowiki>[[Foo article in "foo section"|My article]] </nowiki>
and then I save the page, the part that was between the double quotes disappears, so you will only have
:<nowiki>[[Foo article in |My article]]</nowiki>
Could you please help me on this?

== External links without icons ==

* External links without icons - is that possible using some standard markup? I want to save some space while putting a bunch of useful links into my navigation bar.
** I found one workaround, which is not entirely a standard Wiki markup, but it works - ”plainlinks” class links don't have icon. At least that. :)

Is there some list you can look in if you want to find the prefix to a specific wiki that is registered in advance (as it says in the section about Interwiki links), such as Wikipedia, Commons, Wikia or this site (MediaWiki)? That would be really useful, especially since I in fact don't know any way at all to find the prefix to a specific wiki. For example, now I would like to link an article on the [http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Main_Page OpenGL Wiki], but I can't use an Interwiki link since I don't know the prefix. —[[User:Kri|Kri]] 13:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

--[[User:TJRana|TJRana]] 22:28, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

: It is correct. That form does URL encoding. For example, with <nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki>, "Help talk:Links" would become "Help%20talk:Links", with the space in the page name converted into an URL-friendly %20 - If the documentation is confusing or incomplete about that, it should be improved.

== Adding tel: link ==

Hi: I am trying to include tel: links into my MediaWiki installation. They should work just like a mailto:foo@foo.bar link, but for telephone numbers. So, they should look like tel:+1234567890. When used on a mobile device these tel: links are opened by the telephone application and can be called directly from the website.

I would like to have the following structure:

<pre>
Phone: [tel:+1234567890 +1 (123) 456789-0]
</pre>

I have been looking around the source files to locate the one which defines mailto links for example, but couldn't locate it.

Anyone of you got an idea how to accomplish this?

: I agree, this should be simple to do, but I don't know of a simple way to do it. However, there are 2 more complicated ways to do it. The simplest is probably with [[Extension:Widgets]]. Also, [[Extension:Semantic MediaWiki]] can do it with its built in [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Type_Telephone_number telephone number type]. I hope that helps.

:: Easy enough, just add tel: to the list of allowed protocols. Add '''array_push( $wgUrlProtocols, "tel:" );''' to your Localsettings.php.

::: That works. Thanks! I added it to the $wgUrlProtocols array rather than use array_push (I assume either way would work). Next step is automatically make phone numbers (and mailto: links) external links the same way http:// links are handled. Anyone know how to do that?

==File: vs. Media: links==

I haven't been able to find any documentation on the difference between using <code><nowiki>[[File:some file.txt]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[Media:some file.txt]]</nowiki></code>. Initially thought them to be equivalent, but these are some different behaviours I have noticed on our wiki (in these examples 'uploaded file.txt' is an existing file (blue link) while 'not a valid file.txt' is not (red link)):

* <code><nowiki>[[File:uploaded file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:not a valid file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:not a valid file.txt</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:uploaded file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>Media:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:not a valid file.txt]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>Media:not a valid file.txt</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:uploaded file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>File:uploaded file.txt</code> in blue ('''NOT OK - alternate text not displayed''')
* <code><nowiki>[[File:not a valid file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in red ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:uploaded file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in blue ('''OK''')
* <code><nowiki>[[Media:not a valid file.txt|alternate text]]</nowiki></code> renders as <code>alternate text</code> in red ('''OK''')

Is this the default behaviour? If so, I think it should be better documented somewhere.

==How to write permanent anchor of sections?==

With a hierarchy like this:

<pre>
== item ==
=== created ===
== account ==
=== created ===
</pre>

When people link to account.created, it would be Page#created_2, right?

But when there's something added in between, like this:

<pre>
== item ==
=== created ===
== category ==
=== created ===
== account ==
=== created ===
</pre>

The anchor of account.created would then become #created_3, right? All the links to Page#created_2 before the change would now lead to the wrong section, that is category.created.

Is there any way to fix or work around this problem? Can we make the section anchor permanent once created? So new sections of the same title would have new anchors regardless of its location?

I would like to have linked keywords on my pages with the links leading users to other pages with the same keyword.

The result is that the user is taken to a search results page based on the keyword.

Specifically, here is the string I'm using:

https://mySite.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=***&fulltext=Search&profile=all

...where "***" is my keyword.

Any thoughts?
