Git and Gerrit FAQ

MrBlueSky: /* How do I link to Gerrit URLs from Wikimedia wikis using internal link syntax? */ +answer

{{Git and Gerrit}}
Here is a FAQ concerning how to use [[Git]] and [[Gerrit]].

==Git==
===Pulling===
====Should I use <code>git pull origin master</code> or <code>git pull gerrit master</code>?====
?

====It says "Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge." What do I do?====
To discard your changes (and anything you had in the stash):
<pre>
git stash
git stash clear
</pre>
Now you can proceed with your pull.

===Committing===
====What's the difference between <code>git commit --amend</code> and <code>git commit --amend -a</code>?====
The -a option automatically stages all tracked, modified files before the commit, letting you skip the <code>git add</code> step unless you need to start tracking new files. A tracked file is a file that was in your last commit.

===Submitting for review===
====When should I use <code>git review -R</code> rather than just <code>git review</code>?====
?

==Gerrit==
=== Comments ===
==== How do I save inline code comments? I can only save them as drafts. ====
:''When I comment on code inline or reply to comments inline I cannot save it properly, just as a draft.
'''A:''' It's another of Gerrit's unintuitive parts. You have to click the "review" button back in the change overview page, and the draft inline comments will be attached to your "global" comment when you save it.

==== What should I put in the cover message when I publish comments? ====
'''A:''' ?

=== Miscellaneous ===
==== How do I watch changes? ====
'''A:''' You have to watch projects. See [[Gerrit/watched projects]].

==== How do I link to Gerrit URLs from Wikimedia wikis using internal link syntax? ====
:''For example, for bugs I can use <nowiki>[[bugzilla:1234|bug 1234]]</nowiki>'' to produce [[bugzilla:1234|bug 1234]].
'''A:''' To link to revision 1234 use <nowiki>[[gerrit:1234|revision 1234]]</nowiki>'': [[gerrit:1234|revision 1234]].

Help:Linksearch

2014-01-10T13:14:56Z

MrBlueSky:

{{H:h|Reader toc}}

'''{{h:ml|Special:LinkSearch}}''' is one of the {{h:ml|Help:Special page||special pages}}. It can be used to search for external links (links to other sites) in a project. It provides a list of [[Help:link|link]]s in external link style from the project on which it is applied, based on the provided URL pattern. For each link the source page is provided, and the exact target, both linked. All network protocols which

The listing shown is all links in all namespaces. There is no way to only show external links in articles, which is often of greatest interest as evidenced by [[w:Wikipedia:External links]]. The MediaWiki software does offer the ability to only search for links in a specific namespace, but this functionality is disabled on WikiMedia projects, due to efficiency issues. If you run your own Wiki site and you have ''[[:mw:Manual:$wgMiserMode|miser mode]]'' disabled the namespace functionality will be available.

==Patterns==
The URL pattern can be:

*an {{h:mlw|URI scheme||URI scheme}} followed by a wildcard
:For example: "http://*" ({{h:ml|Special:Linksearch/http://*}}) or "news:*" ({{h:ml|Special:Linksearch/news:*}})
:This returns all links which use the specified protocol.

*a {{h:mlw|domain name||domain name}} beginning with a wildcard (preceded by an optional scheme)
:For example: "*.org" ({{h:ml|Special:Linksearch/*.org}}) or "ftp://*.gov.ph" ({{h:ml|Special:Linksearch/ftp://*.gov.ph}})
:This returns all links pointing to the specified domain and it's subdomains. When no scheme is specified, http:// is used. Note that everything after the domain name is ignored in the pattern.

*an {{h:mlw|IP address||IPv4 address}} ending with a wildcard
:For example: "10.*" ({{h:ml|Special:Linksearch/10.*}}) or "ftp://193.206.*" ({{h:ml|Special:Linksearch/ftp://193.206.*}})
:The default scheme is again "http://". Everything after the ip address in the query pattern is ignored. Wildcards in IPv6 addresses are currently not supported.

*a full url without wildcard
:Examples:
:* "google.com" ({{h:ml|Special:Linksearch/google.com}})
:* "http://google.com/pressrel/pressrelease1.html" ({{h:ml|Special:Linksearch/http://google.com/pressrel/pressrelease1.html}})
:* "http://google.com/search?q="
:All links starting with the specified pattern will be returned.

Remarks:
*Even if multiple URLs lead to the same target, with regard to capitalisation, multiple underscores, and using "index.php" or not, Linksearch is case-sensitive after the first slash (/) and also does not find alternatively written URLs. Therefore, when creating an external link, for optimal use of Linksearch, use a canonical form for the URL. In particular, if after following a link the address bar shows a modified URL, change the URL in the link to that.
*The list is {{ml|Help:Alphabetic_order||alphabetic}} in the URL. Note that an underscore, unlike a blank space, is alphabetically positioned between "Z" and "a".
*User credentials in the search pattern and the external links are ignored for http://, https://, ftp://, etc.
*In the URL of the special page, the target search pattern has to be {{h:mlw|Percent-encoding||URL encoded}}.

==Linksearch and sections==
For links in external link style, Linksearch provides backlinks of sections, which "Special:Whatlinkshere" does not for links in internal link style. For links in [[Help:Interwiki linking|interwiki link]] style there is no backlink feature at all.

On the other hand, links in internal link style provide existence detection. Also each of the three styles can have a different look, depending on CSS.

Therefore it is useful to combine the advantages of various link styles adding "hidden external links" to internal section links and to all interwiki links, except those for which the interlanguage link feature applies. This is done by adding <nowiki>http://...</nowiki>; this can conveniently be done with a template, see below. Although no actual link is added (which would be superfluous because we have already an internal or interwiki link), it is recorded as external link, and therefore Linksearch can find it.

Since Linksearch allows specifying the first part of an anchor, it is useful, if anchor names are numerical or have a numerical end, to use leading zeros. Otherwise, when searching for links to e.g. "1", we also get links to "10", etc. This is e.g. applied in {{h:mlw|Portal:Current events/DateHeader2}}. More generally, if there are anchors "a" and "ab", it may or may not be desired that a search for links to "a" also gives links to "ab"; if not, use an anchor "_a".

Also, if anchor names have multiple components, it is useful to put the most significant component first, e.g. if anchors indicate months or dates, we could have the format YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD, or in a year page MM-DD (see also {{h:mlw|Calendar date|Big endian forms, starting with the year}}), with leading zeros (see also {{h:ml|Help:Date formatting and linking|Link to date content other than required for autoformatting}}). This applies also for page names, but since these are highly visible, as opposed to anchors, other considerations play a role too. In the case of sections, if for link targets another naming scheme is desired than for display of section headers, anchorscan be put explicitly instead of using section names. This is applied in {{h:mlw|Portal:Current events/DateHeader2}}, where the use in links of the names of explicitly put anchors is enforced by using pseudo sections, with displayed headers that cannot be used as anchors.

In the case of multiple sections with the same name, the HTML produced has a HTML ID that is the section name, with, from the second occurrence, "_2", "_3", etc. appended. This does not apply when other anchors are used.

==Links in external link style to the same wiki==
For ''new'' links to the same wiki the feature has been abolished in 2009, see [[mw:Special:Code/MediaWiki/53104]].

Consider this link:
*http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/9/11_wiki_move_proposal

Try whether it is found:
*http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&target=meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/9 gives a page with an old link, not this page with the same link.

==Email links==
If you want to find all mailto: links to a specific mail host, you can omit the user part and @ sign. For example [[Special:LinkSearch/mailto:gmail.com]].

== Quick installation guide ==

{| style="background-color: #F5A9A9;" |
|'''Warning about webhost auto-installers'''
|-
|Programs provided by webhosts to automatically install applications such as MediaWiki can, and frequently do, screw up the process, resulting in errors and a failure to install MediaWiki (or another application for that matter). If you encounter this problem, it '''does not''' mean that you cannot install MediaWiki; all it means is that you should do it manually. This is very easy and there are benefits to doing this, including more control over where on the server and file path you want to install it, the ability to use a shared database, or the ability to control more features of the wiki during the installation.
|}

For experienced users, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to read the more detailed version, [[#Main installation guide|below]].

# Check that your system meets the [[Manual:Installation requirements|minimum requirements]]
# [[Download|Download MediaWiki]] {{MW stable release link|(direct link to latest version)}} and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
# Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted (e.g., <tt>http://[domain]/mediawiki/index.php</tt>). If installed on a local machine, replace ''[domain]'' with '''localhost'''. If installed on a remote server, replace ''[domain]'' with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com).
# [[Manual:Config script|Follow the on-screen instructions]] to complete the process.

These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could go wrong, so if in doubt, you are advised to read the full instructions below!

API:Action API

2013-04-29T23:25:34Z

MrBlueSky: Undo revision 680963 by Baseball72 (talk)

<div style="background: #f0f0e0; border: 2px solid #aaa; padding: 4px 4px 4px 15px; width:80%; margin:0 auto">
* In MediaWiki, 'API' is often a synonym of the '''[[w:Web API|WebAPI]]''', which provides convenient access to wiki features, data and meta-data. This is what this page covers.
* You may also be looking for the internal '''[[Manual:Developing_extensions|extension interface]]''' (sort of "internal API" or "PHP API"), which allows PHP developers to add new functionality to a MediaWiki installation.

MediaWiki has two more outward-facing interfaces:
* The '''[[Special:Export]]''' page, which provides bulk export of wiki content as XML. Read the [[m:Help:Export|Export help article on meta.wikimedia.org]] for more information.
* The '''standard web-based interface''' (which you are likely using right now). Read [[Manual:Parameters to index.php]] for information on using the web-based interface.
</div>

{{API}}

'''This is an introductory overview. See the menu bar on the right for more detailed sub-topics.'''

If you want to monitor a MediaWiki installation, or [[w:Wikipedia:Creating_a_bot|create a bot]] to automatically maintain one, you can use the MediaWiki web service [[wikipedia:application programming interface|API]]. The web service API provides direct, high-level access to the data contained in MediaWiki databases. [[API:Client_code|Client programs]] can log in to a wiki, get data, and post changes automatically by making HTTP requests to the web service. Supported clients include [[w:Wikipedia:Creating_a_bot|bots]], thin web-based JavaScript clients such as [[:en:Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups|Navigation popups]] and [[:fr:User:EDUCA33E/LiveRC/Documentation|LiveRC]], end-user applications such as [[:en:User:Henna/VF|Vandal Fighter]], and other web sites ([http://toolserver.org/ Toolserver]'s utilities).

On new MediaWiki installations, the web service is enabled by default, but an administrator can [[API:Restricting_API_usage#Disabling_the_entire_API|disable it]].

== A simple example ==

This URL tells English Wikipedia's web service API to send you the content of the main page:

<pre style="overflow:auto">
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&titles=Main%20Page&prop=revisions&rvprop=content
</pre>

Use any programming language to make an HTTP GET request for that URL (or just visit that link in your browser), and you'll get a JSON document which includes the current wiki markup for the page titled "Main Page". Changing format to '''jsonfm''' will return a "pretty-printed" HTML result good for debugging.

Let's pick that URL apart to show how it works.

=== The endpoint ===

<code>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php</code>

This is the ''endpoint''. It's like the home page of the Mediawiki web service API. This URL is the base URL for English Wikipedia's API, just as <code>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/</code> is the base URL for its web site.

If you're writing a program to use English Wikipedia, every URL you construct will begin with this base URL. If you're using a different MediaWiki installation, you'll need to find its endpoint and use that instead. All [[Wikimedia]] wikis have endpoints that follow this pattern:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php # English Wikipedia API
http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/api.php # Dutch Wikipedia API
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php # Wikimedia Commons API
{{MW 1.17}}
Since {{rev|75621}}, we have RSD discovery for the endpoint: look for the <code>link rel="EditURI"</code> in the HTML source of any page and extract the <code>api.php</code> URL; the actual link contains additional info. For instance, on this wiki it's:
<pre style="overflow:auto">
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" href="//www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=rsd" />
</pre>

Otherwise, there's no safe way to locate the endpoint on any wiki. If you're lucky, either the full path to index.php will not be hidden under strange rewrite rules so that you'll only have to take the "edit" (or history) link and replace index.php (etc.) with api.php, or you'll be able to use the default [[Manual:$wgScriptPath|ScriptPath]] (like <code>w/api.php</code>).

Now let's move on to the parameters in the query string of the URL.

=== The format ===

<code>format=json</code>

This tells the Wikimedia web service API that we want data to be returned in JSON format. You might also want to try <code>format=jsonfm</code> to get an HTML version of the result that is good for debugging. Even though the API supports many different [[API:Data_formats|output formats]] such as [[w:WDDX|WDDX]], [[w:XML|XML]], [[w:YAML|YAML]] and [http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php native PHP], there are plans to remove all formats excepts for JSON, so you might not want to use them.

=== The action ===

<code>action=query</code>

This is the 'action'. The MediaWiki web service API supports over fifty actions, and they're all documented in the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php API reference]. In this case, we're using "query" to tell the API that we want to get some data.

The "query" action is one of the API's most important actions, and it has [[API:Query|extensive documentation of its own]]. What follows is just an explanation of a single example.

=== Action-specific parameters ===

<code>titles=Main%20Page</code>

The rest of the example URL contains parameters used by the "query" action. Here, we're telling the web service API that we want information about the Wiki page called "Main Page". (The %20 comes from [[w:Percent-encoding|percent-encoding]] a space.) If you need to work with multiple pages, please consider putting them all in one request to optimize network and server resources: <code>titles=PageA|PageB|PageC</code>. See the [[API:Query|query documentation]] for details.

<code>prop=revisions</code>

This parameter tells the web service API that we are interested in a particular revision of the page. Since we're not specifying any revision information, the API will give us information about the latest revision — the main page of Wikipedia as it stands right now.

<code>rvprop=content</code>

Finally, this parameter tells the web service API that we want the content of the latest revision of the page. If we passed in <code>rvprop=content|user</code> instead, we'd get the latest page content ''and'' the name of the user who made the most recent revision.

Again, this is just one example. Queries are explained in more detail [[API:Query|here]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php the API reference] lists all the possible actions, all the possible values for <code>rvprop</code>, and so on.

[[File:The MediaWiki Web API and How to use it - San Francisco Wikipedia Hackathon 2012.ogv|thumb|400px|An introduction to the API by [[User:Catrope|Roan Kattouw]] at the [[San Francisco Hackathon January 2012]]]]

== Getting started ==

Before you start using the MediaWiki web service API, be sure to read these documents:

* The [[API:FAQ|FAQ]].
* The page about [[API:Data formats|input and output formats]]
* The page about [[API:Errors and warnings|errors and warnings]]
* Any policies that apply to the wiki you want to access, such as (for Wikimedia Foundation wikis) our [[wmf:Terms of Use|terms of use]]. These terms apply to you when you access or edit using the web service API, just as they do when you use your web browser.

Beyond that point, what you need to read depends on what you want to do. The right-hand menu links to detailed, task-specific documentation, and some more general guidelines are given below.

== Identifying your client ==

When you make HTTP requests to the MediaWiki web service API, be sure to specify a <code>User-Agent</code> header that properly identifies your client. Don't use the default <code>User-Agent</code> provided by your client library, but make up a custom header that identifies your script or service and provides some type of means of contacting you (e.g., an e-mail address).

An example User-Agent string might look like:
MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; MyCoolTool@example.com) BasedOnSuperLib/1.4

On Wikimedia wikis, if you don't supply a <code>User-Agent</code> header, or you supply an empty or generic one, your request will fail with an HTTP 403 error (cf. [[m:User-Agent policy]]). Other MediaWiki installations may have similar policies.

If you are calling the API from browser-based JavaScript, you won't be able to influence the <code>User-Agent</code> header: the browser will use its own. There is currently no other mechanism for a browser-based client to identify itself.

In PHP, you can identify your user-agent with code such as this:

<source lang="php">ini_set('user_agent', 'MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; MyCoolTool@example.com) BasedOnSuperLib/1.4');</source>

Or if you use [[wikipedia:cURL|cURL]]:

<source lang="php">curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; MyCoolTool@example.com) BasedOnSuperLib/1.4');</source>

== Logging in ==

Your client will probably need to log in to MediaWiki, possibly via its own user account. See [[API:Login|the login manual page]] for details.

== API etiquette ==

If your requests obtain data that can be cached for a while, you should take steps to cache it, so you don't request the same data over and over again. More information about rate-limiting, concurrency, and general API etiquette can be found at [[API:Etiquette]]. Some clients may be able to cache data themselves, but for others (particularly JavaScript clients), this is not possible.

Per the HTTP specification, POST requests cannot be cached. Therefore, whenever you're reading data from the web service API, you should use GET requests, not POST.

Also note that a request cannot be served from cache unless the URL is '''exactly the same'''. If you make a request for <code>api.php?....titles=Foo|Bar|Hello</code>, and cache the result, then a request for <code>api.php?....titles=Hello|Bar|Hello|Foo</code> will not go through the cache — even though MediaWiki returns the same data!

You should take care to normalize the URLs you send to the MediaWiki web service, so that slightly different user input won't cause you to waste time on unnecessary HTTP requests. You can normalize a list of page titles by '''removing duplicates''' and '''sorting the titles alphabetically'''. Similar techniques will work for other kinds of data.

== Useful links ==

The menu bar on the right side of this page links to more detailed, task-specific documentation. Here are some links having to do with the API as a whole:

Gerrit

2013-02-16T14:18:31Z

MrBlueSky: /* Getting started */

{{Git and Gerrit}}
'''Gerrit''' is a web based code review system, facilitating online code reviews for Wikimedia using the [[Git]] version control system. For MediaWiki core development and Wikimedia-deployed extensions, commits '''must be reviewed''' before being merged into the master branch.

== Getting started ==

Wikimedia's Gerrit installation is located at [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/]. If you have [[developer access]], you can participate in the review process, but only [[core developers]] can merge changes. [[Git/Workflow]] gives a full overview of the Git/Gerrit workflow.

{{warning|Please note that Gerrit doesn't work well with Internet Explorer or Opera, and using a different browser is recommended.}}

* [[Manual:$wgUseCombinedLoginLink|$wgUseCombinedLoginLink]] controls whether to output a combined login / create account link in the personal bar, or to output separate login and create account links.
* Skin names are no longer created based on a ucfirst version of the key in [[Manual:$wgValidSkinNames|$wgValidSkinNames]] but now the value. This means for [[Manual:$wgValidSkinNames|$wgValidSkinNames]]["monobook"] = "MonoBook"; the skin loader will no longer try loading SkinMonobook and will instead load SkinMonoBook.
* [[Manual:$wgMaxUploadSize|$wgMaxUploadSize]] may now be set to an array to specify the upload size limit per upload type.
* [[Manual:$wgAPICacheHelp|$wgAPICacheHelp]] added in 1.16 is now removed. To disable API help caching, set [[Manual:$wgAPICacheHelpTimeout|$wgAPICacheHelpTimeout]] = 0;

Use [[Manual:$wgBlockCIDRLimit|$wgBlockCIDRLimit]] = array( 'IPv4' => 43, 'IPv6' => 128 ) to achieve the same functionality as [[Manual:$wgSysopRangeBans|$wgSysopRangeBans]]; you can use the BlockIp hook to replicate [[Manual:$wgSysopUserBans|$wgSysopUserBans]] functionality.
* The options on the block form have been standardised such that checking a box makes the block 'more serious'; so while "check to prevent account creation" and "check to enable autoblock" remain the same, "check to allow user-talk edit" is reversed to "check to *disable* user-talk edit", and "check to block anon-only" becomes "check to block logged-in users too". The default settings remain the same.
* Most of the field names on the Special:Block form have been changed, which will probably break screen-scraping bots.
* ([[bugzilla:26866|bug 26866]]) The 'trackback' right is no longer granted to sysops by default. [[Manual:$wgUseTrackbacks|$wgUseTrackbacks]] is already false by default.

* [[Manual:$wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups|$wgRateLimitsExcludedGroups]] (deprecated in 1.13) has been removed.
* [[Manual:$wgInputEncoding|$wgInputEncoding]] and [[Manual:$wgOutputEncoding|$wgOutputEncoding]] (deprecated in 1.5) have now been removed.
* [[Manual:$wgAllowUserSkin|$wgAllowUserSkin]] (deprecated in 1.16) has now been removed.

* [[Manual:$wgEnableDublinCoreRdf|$wgEnableDublinCoreRdf]] and [[Manual:$wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf|$wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf]] no longer work in core, and the functionality has been moved to the relevant extensions. See [[Extension:DublinCoreRdf]] and [[Extension:CreativeCommonsRdf]] as appropriate.
* ([[bugzilla:21107|bug 21107]]) Split error "customcssjsprotected" into separate messages for JS and CSS

* New hook "Collation::factory" to allow extensions to create custom category collations.
* [[Manual:$wgGroupPermissions|$wgGroupPermissions]] now supports per namespace permissions.
* [[Manual:$wgEnableAutoRotation|$wgEnableAutoRotation]] enables or disables auto-rotation. Leaving it set to null will cause MediaWiki to determine if auto-rotation is available.

=== New features in 1.18 ===
* BREAKING CHANGE: action=watch / action=unwatch now requires a token.
* BREAKING CHANGE: Article class heirarchy split into WikiPage (backend). and Article (frontend) hierarchies. Several hooks now pass a WikiPage object instead of an Article object. These hooks all use an $article paramater as documented in hooks.txt. Extensions should be updated to account for this, though most won't require any changes.

== Compatibility ==

MediaWiki 1.18 requires PHP 5.2.3. PHP 4 is no longer supported.

MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL, Oracle or SQLite can also be used, but
support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for IBM
DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server.

The supported versions are:

* MySQL 4.0 or later
* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
* SQLite 3
* Oracle 9.0.1 or later

== Upgrading ==

1.18 has several database changes since 1.17, and will not work without schema
updates.

If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
due to database schema changes.

If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
new database fields are filled with data.

If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!

When upgrading to 1.18.x custom skins may give errors. replace
tooltipAndAccesskey with tooltipAndAccesskeyAttribs.

See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.

For notes on 1.17.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

== Online documentation ==

Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):

:[[Documentation]]

== Mailing list ==

A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:

:[[mail:mediawiki-l]]

A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:

:[[mail:mediawiki-announce]]

It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.

== IRC help ==

There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net.

{{MediaWiki Introduction}}{{InstallationNav}}
Welcome to the '''[[MediaWiki]] installation guide''' which provides instructions on how to manually install and configure MediaWiki on a web server. Note that some users may find MediaWiki [[software bundles]] a convenient alternative to manual installation.

The first part of this guide gives broad general instructions, while the last section contains a list of appendices that give more detailed installation notes for specific system configurations and other less common uses of the software.

== Upgrade guide ==
If you are already running MediaWiki, see the [[Manual:Upgrading|Upgrade guide]].

== Quick installation guide ==
For experienced users, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to read the more detailed version, [[#Main installation guide|below]].

# Check that your system meets the [[Manual:Installation requirements|minimum requirements]]
# [[Download|Download MediaWiki]] {{MW stable release link|(direct link to latest version)}} and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
# Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted (e.g., <tt>http://[domain]/mediawiki/index.php</tt>. If installed on a local machine, replace ''[domain]'' with '''localhost'''. If installed on a remote server, replace ''[domain]'' with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com).
# [[Manual:Config script|Follow the on-screen instructions]] to complete the process.

These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could go wrong, so if in doubt, you are advised to read the full instructions below!

=== Notes ===

<div class="plainlinks">
* MediaWiki ships with an installation script which allows web-based configuration
* MediaWiki can share the database of another web-based application, e.g. phpBB etc.
* Knowledge of PHP is required in order to customize the software
* PHP 5 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.7 – if you are using an older version of PHP and cannot upgrade then you should use MediaWiki {{MW ancient release number}} ([http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.6/mediawiki-{{MW ancient release number}}.tar.gz download]). Note that this version is ''no longer supported''.
* MySQL 4 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.6 – if you are using an older version of MySQL and cannot upgrade then you should use MediaWiki 1.5.8 ([http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.5.8.tar.gz?download download]). Note that this version is ''no longer supported''.
* Some users find it helpful to install an additional software package such as [http://www.phpmyadmin.net phpMyAdmin] (MySQL) or [http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/ phpPgAdmin] (Postgres) to help administer the database server.

Manual:User rights

2012-10-29T00:57:50Z

MrBlueSky: rev.

'''User rights''' are specific access and ability permissions that can be assigned to customizable ''user groups''. Groups can then be assigned to (or removed from) users through the [[Special:Userrights]] [[Help:Special page|Special page]]. See [[Help:Assigning permissions]].

Access to this interface is itself governed by the 'userrights' right, so only users in the 'bureaucrat' group can do it (in a default set-up). See [[Manual:Setting user groups in MediaWiki]] for information about managing and the assignment of user groups.

This [[Special:UserRights]] interface was introduced in MediaWiki 1.5; see [[Manual:User rights (older versions)]] for earlier methods.

==Changing group permissions==
A default MediaWiki installation assigns certain rights to default groups (see below). You can change the default rights by editing the {{mediawiki|Manual:$wgGroupPermissions|$wgGroupPermissions array}} in {{mediawiki|LocalSettings.php}} with the syntax
<source lang="php">$wgGroupPermissions['group']['right'] = true /* or false */;</source>

(Note: by default install $wgGroupPermissions is not present and you will need to add it into the file)

If a member has multiple groups, they get the highest permission of any groups. All users, including anonymous users, are in the <code>'*'</code> group; all registered users are in the <code>'user'</code> group. In addition to the default groups, you can arbitrarily create new groups using the same array.

===Examples===
This example will disable viewing of all pages not listed in [[Manual:$wgWhitelistRead|$wgWhitelistRead]], then re-enable for registered users only:
<source lang="php">
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
# The following line is not actually necessary, since it's in the defaults. Setting
# '*' to false doesn't disable rights for groups that have the right separately set
# to true!
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['read'] = true;
</source>

This example will disable editing of all pages, then re-enable for users with confirmed e-mail addresses only:
<source lang="php">
# Disable for everyone.
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
# Disable for users, too: by default 'user' is allowed to edit, even if '*' is not.
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;
# Make it so users with confirmed e-mail addresses are in the group.
$wgAutopromote['emailconfirmed'] = APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED;
# Hide group from user list.
$wgImplicitGroups[] = 'emailconfirmed';
# Finally, set it to true for the desired group.
$wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['edit'] = true;
</source>

This example will create an arbitrary "ninja" group that can block users and delete pages, and whose edits are hidden by default in the recent changes log:
<source lang="php">
$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['bot'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['block'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['delete'] = true;
</source>
:'''Note:''' the name cannot contain spaces, so use <code>'random-user'</code> or <code>'random_user'</code> instead of <code>'random user'</code>

In this example, you would probably also want to create pages:
* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-ninja}} (content: <code>Ninjas</code>)
* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-ninja-member}} (content: <code>ninja</code>)
* {{blue|MediaWiki:Grouppage-ninja}} (content: <code>Project:Ninjas</code>)
This will insure that the group will be referred to as "Ninjas" throughout the interface, and a member will be referred to as a "ninja", and overviews will link the groupname to {{blue|Project:Ninjas}}.

This example will eliminate the bureaucrat group entirely. It is necessary to ensure that all six of these variables are unset for any group that one wishes to remove from being listed at [[Special:UserGroupRights]]; however, merely unsetting $wgGroupPermissions will suffice to remove it from [[Special:UserRights]]. This code should be placed after any <code>require_once</code> lines that add extensions such as [[Extension:Renameuser]] containing code that gives bureaucrats group permissions by default.
<source lang="php">
unset ( $wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat'] );
unset ( $wgRevokePermissions['bureaucrat'] );
unset ( $wgAddGroups['bureaucrat'] );
unset ( $wgRemoveGroups['bureaucrat'] );
unset ( $wgGroupsAddToSelf['bureaucrat'] );
unset ( $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf['bureaucrat'] );
</source>

From MW 1.12, you can create your own groups into which users are automatically promoted (as with autoconfirmed and emailconfirmed) using [[Manual:$wgAutopromote|$wgAutopromote]]. You can even create any custom group by just assigning rights to them.

==Default rights==
The default rights are defined in [[Manual:DefaultSettings.php|DefaultSettings.php]].
* Default values in trunk version: [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/DefaultSettings.php?view=markup DefaultSettings.php]
* Default values in MediaWiki latest stable version 1.19.0:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
/**
* Permission keys given to users in each group.
* All users are implicitly in the '*' group including anonymous visitors;
* logged-in users are all implicitly in the 'user' group. These will be
* combined with the permissions of all groups that a given user is listed
* in in the user_groups table.
*
* Note: Don't set $wgGroupPermissions = array(); unless you know what you're
* doing! This will wipe all permissions, and may mean that your users are
* unable to perform certain essential tasks or access new functionality
* when new permissions are introduced and default grants established.
*
* Functionality to make pages inaccessible has not been extensively tested
* for security. Use at your own risk!
*
* This replaces wgWhitelistAccount and wgWhitelistEdit

Manual talk:$wgMaxRedirects

2012-08-20T00:09:14Z

MrBlueSky:

Manual:User rights

2012-04-19T13:37:08Z

MrBlueSky: Undo revision 527379 by 110.136.178.169 (talk)

'''User rights''' are specific access and ability permissions that can be assigned to customizable groups. Groups can then be assigned to (or removed from) users through the [[Special:Userrights]] [[Help:Special page|Special page]]. See [[Help:Assigning permissions]].

Access to this interface is itself governed by the 'userrights' right, so only users in the 'bureaucrat' group can do it (in a default set-up). See [[Manual:Setting user groups in MediaWiki]] for information about managing and the assignment of user groups.

This [[Special:UserRights]] interface was introduced in MediaWiki 1.5; see [[Manual:User rights (older versions)]] for earlier methods.

==Changing group permissions==
A default MediaWiki installation assigns certain rights to default groups (see below). You can change the default rights by editing the {{mediawiki|Manual:$wgGroupPermissions|$wgGroupPermissions array}} in {{mediawiki|LocalSettings.php}} with the syntax
<source lang="php">$wgGroupPermissions['group']['right'] = true /* or false */;</source>

(Note: by default install wgGroupPermissions may not be present and you will need to add it into the file)

If a member has multiple groups, they get the highest permission of any groups. All users, including anonymous users, are in the <code>'*'</code> group; all registered users are in the <code>'user'</code> group. In addition to the default groups, you can arbitrarily create new groups using the same array.

===Examples===
This example will disable viewing of all pages not listed in [[Manual:$wgWhitelistRead|$wgWhitelistRead]], then re-enable for registered users only:
<source lang="php">
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
# The following line is not actually necessary, since it's in the defaults. Setting
# '*' to false doesn't disable rights for groups that have the right separately set
# to true!
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['read'] = true;
</source>

This example will disable editing of all pages, then re-enable for users with confirmed e-mail addresses only:
<source lang="php">
# Disable for everyone.
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
# Disable for users, too: by default 'user' is allowed to edit, even if '*' is not.
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;
# Make it so users with confirmed e-mail addresses are in the group.
$wgAutopromote['emailconfirmed'] = APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED;
# Hide group from user list.
$wgImplicitGroups[] = 'emailconfirmed';
# Finally, set it to true for the desired group.
$wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['edit'] = true;
</source>

This example will create an arbitrary "ninja" group that can block users and delete pages, and whose edits are hidden by default in the recent changes log:
<source lang="php">
$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['bot'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['block'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['delete'] = true;
</source>

In this example, you would probably also want to create pages:
* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-ninja}} (content: <code>Ninjas</code>)
* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-ninja-member}} (content: <code>ninja</code>)
* {{blue|MediaWiki:Grouppage-ninja}} (content: <code>Project:Ninjas</code>)
This will insure that the group will be referred to as "Ninjas" throughout the interface, and a member will be referred to as a "ninja", and overviews will link the groupname to {{blue|Project:Ninjas}}.

== List of permissions ==
The following user rights are available in the latest version of MediaWiki. If you are using an older version, look at "[[Special:Version]]" on your wiki and see if your version is covered in the "versions" column.

{{note|Although these permissions all control separate things, sometimes to perform certain actions you need multiple permissions. For example allowing people to edit but not read pages doesn't make sense, since in order to edit a page you must first be able to read it (Assuming no pages are whitelisted). Allowing uploads but not editing does not make sense since in order to upload an image you must implicitly create an image description page, etc.}}

From MW 1.12, you can create your own groups into which users are automatically promoted (as with autoconfirmed and emailconfirmed) using [[Manual:$wgAutopromote|$wgAutopromote]]. You can even create any custom group by just assigning rights to them.

I had pretty much the same output, and it seemed it is a problem with my freakin ISP here - they have a transparent
proxy, that does not know how to handle the svn checkout. My solution was to ssh into one of my boxes out there,
and run a tunnel:

<pre>
ssh -L 2080:svn.wikimedia.org:80 jhb@themachine
</pre>

and editing the /etc/hosts for a moment...

== Upload Files in ".svn" to webserver? ==

Hello! I downloaded the latest MW-beta from [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3] by TortoiseSVN. To install the MW-Version, do I need to upload the included directories named ".svn" to the webserver? --[[User:Nyks|Nyks]] 13:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

: The .svn directories are used by Subversion (or Tortoise) to keep track of your working copy, so that you can update it from the main code repository at svn.wikimedia.org. You only need to copy these files to the server if you plan to run svn update directly on the server. If you plan to upgrade by performing an svn update on your local machine and then copying the files to the server, then you can omit the .svn directories. --[[User:HappyDog|HappyDog]] 17:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

:: Thanks. I'm update with svn to my localmachine, and uploading this to the webserver. So i can omit it :) btw, i saw, MW-site are using "1.9alpha (r17974)". Is there a special tag or branch, which marks the "r17974" as a special version for test-usage? --[[User:Nyks|Nyks]] 21:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

::: I have no idea. Maybe someone else will be able to help you with that one... --[[User:HappyDog|HappyDog]] 22:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

The Subversion revision number is pulled out of the Subversion metadata files and shown in [[Special:Version]] if the software appears to be running from a checkout. This allows for more precise bug reporting and tracking features and regressions, etc. on production wikis like Wikipedia.

== SVN down? ==

Is SVN down? It hasn't been responding for the last little while. [[User:206.116.13.184|206.116.13.184]] 03:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

== Deleting .svn folders automatically ==

Anyone knows an automatic way to delete these annoying .svn folders (on windows xp)? I couldn't find a better way so I made this primitive script [http://delicieux.info/clean.7z here], you start it from the main folder.--[[User:Alnokta|Alnokta]] 16:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

: Hm? If you delete the .svn folders, you can no longer update using svn... Well, you can always check out a fresh copy of course. But svn up is quite a bit faster, and more convenient. -- [[User:Duesentrieb|Duesentrieb]] [[User talk:Duesentrieb|⇌]] 17:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

:: As Duesentrieb says, deleting the .svn folders means you can no longer update using SVN. If that is your intention, then it is probably better to do an svn export in the first instance, so that these directories are not created at all. --[[User:HappyDog|HappyDog]] 23:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
::: Yep, thanks..I used export..no need for any scripts :)--[[User:Alnokta|Alnokta]] 02:34, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

== Nightly/weekly snapshots ==

Wish there were nightly/weekly snapshots for those that just want one click downloads.

: If you just want one click downloads, I doubt the developer version is for you. Stick to stable releases. -- [[User:Duesentrieb|Duesentrieb]] [[User talk:Duesentrieb|⇌]] 10:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

== SVN Tag is incorrect ==

The SVN tag is REL1_11, not REL1_11_0 as given in the box at the top right of the page.

==Text in the 'article' and 'discussion' tabs missing in MW1.12 [Fixed in revision 26791]==

I've been using SVN to update MW1.12 install here .. Its on 1.12alpha (r26774) at the moment ..

I don't know when it happened but I noticed today that the text in the 'article' and 'discussion' tabs are missing... I can click on either of them and I get the same page .. OK, 'article' tab should give you the same page, but 'discussion' should take you to the talk page - that doesn't happen ..

Can someone help me to figure out how to get this working again please ??

I took all the extensions out of LocalSettings.php thinking it may be an extension that caused the problem, but that didn't help ..

--[[User:Zs6ro|Dick]] 16:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

----

I did a SVN update this morning to revision 26791 and my tabs came back and they work as designed ...

Thank you to whoever was responsible for restoring things ......

--[[User:Zs6ro|Dick]] 06:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

: If you use the latest development version, it's always possible that you grab a bad revision. You simply get whatever the last dev checked in. It's not a good idea to use alpha software in production - and if you want it to be at least somewhat reliable, use the revisions wikipedia uses (the exact revision is given on Special:Version) - and check for changes every day. -- [[User:Duesentrieb|Duesentrieb]] [[User talk:Duesentrieb|⇌]] 07:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info .. I don't mind being on the bleeding edge as my wiki is not on-line yet ... Still getting used to it and picking up a lot of experience (fast learning curve) !!..

As a matter of interest i decided to install another MW1.12 onto my server so i can start fresh .. I decided that I don't like seeing:

Couldn't find Turck MMCache, eAccelerator, APC or XCache; cannot use these for object caching.

and thought it could be useful to speed things up a bit, so I installed "eAccelerator" and from the tests supplied, and using a small php script (phpinfo), it is working - i can also see the cache directory filling up ..

But when i try a fresh install, I keep on getting the same message as above .. MW apparently doesn't see that i have a recognised cache running ???

Any ideas on this one or am I bleeding too much :-)

--[[User:Zs6ro|Dick]]

== umw ==

I have written a useful bash script that can help with updating multiple mediawikis from svn, it is called umw. you can find a weblink from my userpage. if you think it's good, you can add it in the [[Download from SVN]] page. [[User:NerdyNSK|NerdyNSK]] 21:25, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
: '''Attention:''' The link is invalid, it gives a domain error.

== Every once in a while ==
According to the page, if I choose to use a continuous integration model I should not "forget to run <code>maintenance/update.php</code> every once in a while, especially if things start acting strangely." Are there any better guidelines than "every once in a while?" Is there a mailing list I can follow that will state changes to the database schema to determine this frequency?

I suppose I could just grep to see if <code>maintenance/update.php</code> was updated and execute it automatically in that case. -- [[Special:Contributions/134.48.6.12|134.48.6.12]] 19:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

:If you go that route, tables.sql or updaters.inc is the file you should keep an eye on. I just run update.php whenever I <tt>svn up</tt>; in my experience, the script will finish within 10 seconds if there are no schema changes, even with hundreds of thousands of articles. —[[User:Emufarmers|Emufarmers]]([[User talk:Emufarmers|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/Emufarmers|C]]) 02:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

== svn+ssh ==

With regard to [http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Download_from_SVN&diff=prev&oldid=328076 this edit], aren't you supposed to use svn+ssh:// if you plan on committing? It works a lot better than http:// for that purpose. It also sounded as though [[git]] had some potential disadvantages... [[User:Tisane|Tisane]] 15:41, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

== svn checkout ==

Set in the svn checkout command trailing slash PLEASE!!!)))
:Why? It works great without it :) [[User:MaxSem|Max Semenik]] 17:59, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

The instructions to get the latest release are misleading. There is a difference between branches and tags. To get the latest release, the wiki page should be edited so that this command is used instead:

<pre>
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/REL1_18_1/phase3/
</pre>

== Incorrect URL in "Using TortoiseSVN" section ==

The URL in the "Using TortoiseSVN" section goes to the trunk release, not the latest stable release. —[[Special:Contributions/71.197.220.208|71.197.220.208]] 20:18, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Gerrit/Commit message guidelines

2012-03-28T21:11:22Z

MrBlueSky: typo

Crafting the commit message is a very important step of your development work. The message is usually the first thing other developers will see, and the first line is used by various toola as a summary of your commit message. You will thus have a first line which is meaningful and short and then a detailed message fully explaining your patch, what you did, your design choice, possible culprit to look at, any test you could have done. Bytes are cheap, so just write!

If your change is about fixing a bug, you will want to use that bug number at the very beginning of the summary line in parentheses. Since that first line is used by our Gerrit review tool to generate emails, that will make life easier to people receiving email notifications.

Whenever you want to refer to another modification, avoid using the commit sha1 which might change until it is merged. You will usually want to refers to either the Change ID or the Change number instead. Those will be stable in time and are not altered when someone submit a new patch set on top of your commit.

Following the first summary line, you want to add an empty line. That is how lots of programs interacting with git will actually detect the summary line.

Finally, you will want to wrap your message body at 72 characters. This will ensure Gerrit will correctly display it and make the message suitable for display in any mail clients. Some people receiving emails notification might be using a text client such as mutt.

The full format should thus be:

(bug 1234) Summary line used as a subject usually

Rest of the message detailing your change, can be a long message if
needed, for example to explain your design considerations.

Please split your paragraphs with you new lines :-)

Rest is pretty much free form, you can even use ascii art since commit
message are usually displayed using a monospace font.

Rendering example in the vim editor with syntax coloring:

Which, once pushed to Gerrit, will roughly looks like:

Manual:Coding conventions/PHP

2012-03-27T20:17:26Z

MrBlueSky: @var

This page describes the '''coding conventions''' used within files of the [[Manual:Code|MediaWiki codebase]] written in '''PHP'''. See also the [[Manual:Coding conventions#All_languages|general conventions]] that apply to all program languages, including PHP. If you would like a short checklist to help you review your commits, try using the [[Manual:Pre-commit checklist|pre-commit checklist]].

To help developers fix code with an inadequately spacey style, a tool called [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/code-utils/stylize.php stylize.php] has been created, which uses PHP's tokenizer extension to add spaces at the relevant places. It's recommended to run this over new files committed to SVN, but not so much for fixing current files.

{{TOCRight}}

== Code structure ==

==== Assignment expressions ====
Using assignment as an expression is surprising to the reader and looks like an error. Do not write code like this:

<source lang="php">
if ( $a = foo() ) {
bar();
}
</source>

Space is cheap, and you're a fast typist, so instead use:

<source lang="php">
$a = foo();
if ( $a ) {
bar();
}
</source>

Using assignment in a {{phpi|while()}} clause used to be legitimate, for iteration:

<source lang="php">
$res = $dbr->query( 'SELECT * FROM some_table' );
while ( $row = $dbr->fetchObject( $res ) ) {
showRow( $row );
}
</source>

This is unnecessary in new code; instead use:

<source lang="php">
$res = $dbr->query( 'SELECT * FROM some_table' );
foreach ( $res as $row ) {
showRow( $row );
}
</source>

=== Ternary operator ===

The {{php|language.operators.comparison|ternary operator}} can be used profitably if the expressions are very short and obvious:

<source lang=php>
$wiki = isset( $this->mParams['wiki'] ) ? $this->mParams['wiki'] : false;
</source>

But if you're considering a multi-line expression with a ternary operator, please consider using an {{phpi|if()}} block instead. Remember, disk space is cheap, code readability is everything, "if" is English and <code>?:</code> is not.

==== 5.3 shorthand ====

Since we still support PHP 5.2.x, use of the [http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php#102060 shorthand ternary operator] (<code>?:</code>) introduced in PHP 5.3 is not allowed.

=== String literals ===

For simple string literals, single quotes are slightly faster for PHP to parse than double quotes. Perhaps more importantly, they are easier to type, since you don't have to press shift. For these reasons, single quotes are preferred in cases where they are equivalent to double quotes.

However, do not be afraid of using PHP's double-quoted string interpolation feature:
{{phpi|1=$elementId = "myextension-$index";}} This has slightly better performance characteristics than the equivalent using the concatenation (dot) operator, and it looks nicer too.

Heredoc-style strings are sometimes useful:

<source lang=php>
$s = <<<EOT
<div class="mw-some-class">
$boxContents
</div>
EOT;
</source>

Some authors like to use END as the ending token, which is also the name of a PHP function. This leads to IRC conversations like the following:

<pre>
<Simetrical> vim also has ridiculously good syntax highlighting.
<TimStarling> it breaks when you write <<<END in PHP
<Simetrical> TimStarling, but if you write <<<HTML it syntax-highlights as HTML!
<TimStarling> I have to keep changing it to ENDS so it looks like a string again
<brion-codereview> fix the bug in vim then!
<TimStarling> brion-codereview: have you ever edited a vim syntax script file?
<brion-codereview> hehehe
<TimStarling> http://tstarling.com/stuff/php.vim
<TimStarling> that's half of it...
<TimStarling> here's the other half: http://tstarling.com/stuff/php-syntax.vim
<TimStarling> 1300 lines of sparsely-commented code in a vim-specific language
<TimStarling> which turns out to depend for its operation on all kinds of subtle inter-pass effects
<werdnum> TimStarling: it looks like some franken-basic language.
</pre>

=== Functions and parameters ===

Avoid passing huge numbers of parameters to functions or constructors:
<source lang=php>
//Constructor for Block.php as of 1.17. *DON'T* do this!
function __construct( $address = '', $user = 0, $by = 0, $reason = '',
$timestamp = 0, $auto = 0, $expiry = '', $anonOnly = 0, $createAccount = 0, $enableAutoblock = 0,
$hideName = 0, $blockEmail = 0, $allowUsertalk = 0 )
{
...
}
</source>

It quickly becomes impossible to remember the order of parameters, and you will inevitably end up having to hardcode all the defaults in callers just to customise a parameter at the end of the list. If you are tempted to code a function like this, consider passing an associative array of named parameters instead.

In general, using boolean parameters is discouraged in functions. In {{phpi|$object->getSomething( $input, true, true, false )}}, without looking up the documentation for {{phpi|MyClass::getSomething()}}, it is impossible to know what those parameters are meant to indicate. Much better is to either use class constants, and make a generic flag parameter:

:<source lang="php">
$myResult = MyClass::getSomething( $input, MyClass::FROM_DB & MyClass::PUBLIC_ONLY );
</source>

Or to make your function accept an array of named parameters:

:<source lang="php">
$myResult = MyClass::getSomething( $input, array( 'fromDB', 'publicOnly' ) );
</source>

Try [[mailarchive:wikitech-l/2006-November/027618.html|not to repurpose variables]] over the course of a function, and avoid modifying the parameters passed to a function (unless they're passed by reference and that's the whole point of the function, obviously).

=== C borrowings ===

The PHP language was designed by people who love C and wanted to bring souvenirs from that language into PHP. But PHP has some important differences from C.

In C, constants are implemented as preprocessor macros and are fast. In PHP, they are implemented by doing a runtime hashtable lookup for the constant name, and are slower than just using a string literal. In most places where you would use an enum or enum-like set of macros in C, you can use string literals in PHP.

PHP has three special literals: {{phpi|true}}, {{phpi|false}} and {{phpi|null}}. Homesick C developers write {{phpi|null}} as {{phpi|NULL}} because they want to believe that it is a macro defined as <source lang=c enclose=none>((void*)0)</source>. This is not necessary.

Use {{phpi|elseif}} not {{phpi|else if}}. They have [http://php.net/elseif subtly different meanings]:

<source lang=php>
// This:
if( $foo == 'bar' ) {
echo 'Hello world';
} else if( $foo == 'Bar' ) {
echo 'Hello world';
} else if( $baz == $foo ) {
echo 'Hello baz';
} else {
echo 'Eh?';
}

// Is actually equivalent to:
if( $foo == 'bar' ) {
echo 'Hello world';
} else {
if( $foo == 'Bar' ) {
echo 'Hello world';
} else {
if( $baz == $foo ) {
echo 'Hello baz';
} else {
echo 'Eh?';
}
}
}
</source>

And the latter has poorer performance.

== Naming ==

Use [[w:CamelCase|lowerCamelCase]] when naming functions or variables. For example: <source lang="php">private function doSomething( $userPrefs, $editSummary )</source> Use UpperCamelCase when naming classes: {{phpi|class ImportantClass}}. Use uppercase with underscores for global and class constants: {{phpi|DB_MASTER}}, {{phpi|Revision::REV_DELETED_TEXT}}. Other variables are usually lowercase or lowerCamelCase; avoid using underscores in variable names.

There are also some prefixes used in different places:

=== Functions ===

* <code>wf</code> (wiki functions) – top-level functions, e.g. <source lang="php">function wfFuncname() { ... }</source>

Verb phrases are preferred: use {{phpi|getReturnText()}} instead of {{phpi|returnText()}}.

=== Variables ===

* <code>$wg</code> – global variables, e.g. {{wg|Version}}, {{wg|Title}}. Always use this for new globals, so that it's easy to spot missing "{{phpi|global $wgFoo}}" declarations. In extensions, the extension name should be used as a namespace delimiter. For example, {{phpi|$wgAbuseFilterConditionLimit}}, '''not''' {{phpi|$wgConditionLimit}}.

It is common to work with an instance of the <code>Database</code> class; we have a naming convention for these which helps keep track of the nature of the server to which we are connected. This is of particular importance in replicated environments, such as Wikimedia and other large wikis; in development environments there is usually no difference between the two types, which can conceal subtle errors.

* {{phpi|$dbw}} – a <code>Database</code> object for writing (a master connection)
* {{phpi|$dbr}} – a <code>Database</code> object for non-concurrency-sensitive reading (this may be a read-only slave, slightly behind master state, so don't ever try to write to the database with it, or get an "authoritative" answer to important queries like permissions and block status)

The following may be seen in old code but are discouraged in new code:

* <code>$ws</code> – Session variables, e.g. {{phpi|$_SESSION['wsSessionName']}}
* <code>$wc</code> – Cookie variables, e.g. {{phpi|$_COOKIE['wcCookieName']}}
* <code>$wp</code> – Post variables (submitted via form fields), e.g. {{phpi|$wgRequest->getText( 'wpLoginName' )}}
* <code>$m</code> – object member variables: {{phpi|$this->mPage}}. This is '''discouraged in new code''', but try to stay consistent within a class.

== Pitfalls ==

* Understand and read the documentation for <code>{{php|isset}}</code> and <code>{{php|empty}}</code>. Use them only when appropriate.
** {{phpi|empty()}} is inverted conversion to boolean with error suppression. Only use it when you really want to suppress errors. Otherwise just use {{phpi|!}}. Do not use it to test if an array is empty, unless you simultaneously want to check if the variable is unset.
** '''Do not use {{phpi|isset()}} to test for {{phpi|null}}.''' Using {{phpi|isset()}} in this situation could introduce errors by hiding mis-spelled variable names. Instead, use {{phpi|1=$var === null}}
* Study the rules for [http://php.net/boolean.php#language.types.boolean.casting conversion to boolean]. Be careful when converting strings to boolean.
* Be careful with [http://php.net/operators.comparison double-equals comparison operators]. Triple-equals is often more intuitive.
** {{phpi|1='foo' == 0}} is true
** {{phpi|1='000' == '0'}} is true
** {{phpi|1='000' === '0'}} is false
* [http://php.net/operators.array Array plus] does not renumber the keys of numerically-indexed arrays, so {{phpi|array('a') + array('b') {{=}}{{=}}{{=}} array('a')}}. If you want keys to be renumbered, use [http://php.net/array-merge array_merge()]: {{phpi|1=array_merge( array( 'a' ), array( 'b' ) ) == array( 'a', 'b' )}}
* Make sure you have <code>[http://php.net/error_reporting error_reporting]</code> set to {{phpi|E_ALL | E_STRICT}} for PHP 5. This will notify you of undefined variables and other subtle gotchas that stock PHP will ignore. See also [[Manual:How to debug]].
* When working in a pure PHP environment, remove any trailing <code>?></code> tags. These tags often cause issues with trailing white-space and "headers already sent" error messages (cf. [[bugzilla:17642]] and http://news.php.net/php.general/280796).
* Do not use the 'goto' syntax introduced in 5.3. PHP may have introduced the feature, but that does not mean we should use it.

== Comments and Documentation ==

The [[w:Doxygen|Doxygen]] documentation style is used (it is very similar to [[w:PHPDoc|PHPDoc]] for the subset that we use). A code documentation example: giving a description of a function or method, the parameters it takes (using <code>@param</code>), and what the function returns (using <code>@return</code>), or the <code>@ingroup</code> or <code>@author</code> tags.

Use <code>@</code> rather than <code>\</code> as the escape character (i.e. use <code>@param<code> rather than <code>\param</code>) – both styles work in Doxygen, but for backwards and future compatibility MediaWiki uses has chosen the <code>@param<code> style as convention).

Use <code>/**</code> to begin the comments, instead of the Qt-style formatting <code>/*!</code>.

General format for parameters is such: <code>@param $varname [type]: [description]</code>. Multiple types can be listed by separating with a pipe character.

For every public interface (method, class, variable, whatever) you add or change, a <code>@since</code> tag should be provided, so people extending the code via this interface know they are breaking compatibility with older versions of the code.

<source lang="php">
class Foo {

/**
* @var $bar array: Description here
* @example array( 'foo' => Bar, 'quux' => Bar, .. )
*/
protected $bar;

/**
* Short decription here, following by documentation of the parameters.
*
* @since 1.42
*
* @param $context FooContext
* @param $options array|string: Optionally pass extra options. Either a string or an array of strings.
* @return Foo|null: New instance of Foo or null of quuxification failed.
*
* Some example:
* @code
* ...
* @endcode
*/
public function makeQuuxificatedFoo( FooContext $context = null, $options = array() ) {
/* .. */
}

}
</source>

PHPDoc was used at the very beginning but got replaced with Doxygen for performance reason. We should probably drop PHPDoc compatibility.

===@var: documenting class members===
There is a 'bug' in Doxygen<ref>[https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626105 Bug 626105 - @var in php is not documented]</ref> which affects MediaWiki's documentation: using <tt>@var</tt> to specify the class members' type only works if the variable name is appended:

<source lang="php">
/**
* Some explanation about the variable
*
* @var string $msg
*/
protected $msg;
</source>

If you don't append the variable name Doxygen will ignore the ''entire'' comment block and it will not be included in the docs.

== Integration ==

There are a few pieces of code in the MediaWiki codebase which are intended to be standalone and easily portable to other applications; examples include the UTF normalisation in <code>/includes/normal</code> and the libraries in <code>/includes/libs</code>. Apart from these, code should be integrated into the rest of the MediaWiki environment, and should allow other areas of the codebase to integrate with it in return.

== Global objects ==

{{Main|Manual:RequestContext.php}}

Do not access the PHP superglobals {{phpi|$_GET}}, {{phpi|$_POST}}, etc, directly; [[mailarchive:wikitech-l/2007-February/030029.html|use]] {{phpi|$request->get*( 'param' )}} instead; there are various functions depending on what type of value you want. You can get a {{phpi|WebRequest}} from the nearest {{phpi|RequestContext}}, or if absolutely necessary {{phpi|$wgRequest}}. Equally, do not access {{phpi|$_SERVER}} directly; use {{phpi|$request->getIP()}} if you want to get the IP address of the current user.

== Classes ==

Encapsulate your code in an object-oriented class, or add functionality to existing classes; do not add new global functions or variables. Try to be mindful of the distinction between 'backend' classes, which represent entities in the database (eg <code>User</code>, <code>Block</code>, <code>Revision</code>, etc), and 'frontend' classes, which represent pages or interfaces visible to the user (<code>SpecialPage</code>, <code>Article</code>, <code>ChangesList</code>, etc. Even if your code is not obviously object-oriented, you can put it in a static class (eg <code>IP<code> or <code>Html</code>).

As a holdover from PHP 4's lack of private class members and methods, older code will be marked with comments such as {{phpi|/** @private */}} to indicate the intention; respect this as if it were enforced by the interpreter.

[[mailarchive:wikitech-l/2007-February/029435.html|Mark new code with proper visibility modifiers]], including {{phpi|public}} if appropriate, but '''do not''' add visibility to existing code without first checking, testing and refactoring as required. It's generally a good idea to avoid visibility changes unless you're making changes to the function which would break old uses of it anyway.

== Error handling ==

Don't suppress errors with PHP's [http://php.net/operators.errorcontrol <code>@</code> operator], for [[Special:Code/MediaWiki/39789#c2650|any reason]] [[mailarchive:wikitech-l/2010-August/048780.html|ever]]. It's broken when <code>E_STRICT</code> is enabled and it causes an unlogged, unexplained error if there is a fatal, which is hard to support. Use <code>[http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/GlobalFunctions_8php.html#a875ea3710563af3ff4f09cd9411e4158 wfSuppressWarnings()]</code> and <code>[http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/GlobalFunctions_8php.html#a5c3700e80dde3839ed39b5f2bd674504 wfRestoreWarnings()]</code> instead. The [[Manual:checkSyntax.php|checkSyntax.php]] maintenance script can check for this error for you.

When your code encounters a sudden error, you should throw a MWException (or an appropriate subclass) rather than using PHP's trigger_error. The exception handler will display this as nicely as possible to the end user and wiki administrator, and also provides a stack trace to developers.

== FCK Editor Issues ==

Hi,
I am receiving the following error message whenever I try to edit an article:
Warning: Parameter 1 FCKeditor_MediaWiki:: onCustomEditor() expected to be a reference value given in (home directory)/public_html/(name of wiki)/includes/Hooks.php on line 117
Could you please tell me how to fix this or how to change to a different wysiwyg editor (e.g. tinyMCE)?

== Set the category of a page using data filled in the form ==

Hi,

I am customizing the mediawiki to work as knowledge base of the TI systems of a enterprise. I have a form (property:System) which the user have to choose what systems the page that is being created is related.
I need to set the Category of the page that is being created using the values filled in the property System in the form. How can i do this ? In my search i found the extension Semantic:WatchList, but i think there is a simple way to do it instead of using this extension.

MediaWiki Version : 1.18
PHP Version : 5.3.6
MySQL Version : 5.5.9

== Frames Displaying Incorrectly in Google Chrome ==

Hi, have a wiki site for a local sports group and the frames don't align correctly in google chrome (works fine in firefox and IE). website is here:
http://hawaiiultimate.com/wiki/
most specifically, the left main panes always align BELOW the main body (in its column, however not in line with main body), evident in some of the longer pages.

Running:
mediawiki 1.10.1
php 5.2.13
MySQL 5.0.45-community-nt

forgive me but i'm not extremely familiar with how databases work so go easy. i understand simple code and most of the methods of editing and maintaining wikis, but this one has stumped me. is it a versioning problem? is it difficult to upgrade?

mahalo for any help!

== How to hide delete articles in recent changes? ==

I use the recent changes RSS to announce the wiki got articles changed.

But a lot of spam use this way to show there F**K ADs in the twitter account.

The rss contain there ADs even after I delete it. For example:

:I think there was some means to add &bot=1 onto the end of a URL when removing vandalism, so that your action would show as being done by a site robot and therefore be absent from [[special:recentchanges]] unless the user clicks 'show bots'. I'm not sure if this is available for rollback, delete or both... but as far as I know the 'bot' flag is the quickest way to semi-hide something from recent changes.
:"Bot rollback" is mentioned on [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators/Tools Wikipedia:Administrators/Tools], [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Reverting Help:Reverting] but no word of what happens if a 'bot deletes a page.

== Extention: to take chunks of text and add html tags ==

What i want to do, is to take text, and add tags around it. Like i take a word "red" and color it red, without touching the wiki source that the user inputs. Without bypassing the caching schemes of mediawiki.
I was thinking to take the final raw html, and work from there. How do i do that? From an extension of course. [[User:Super Quantum immortal|Super Quantum immortal]] ([[User talk:Super Quantum immortal|talk]]) 18:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

== How can I calculate my age using an [[Help:Extension:ParserFunctions|expression]]? (for my user page) ==

Hi, My [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:3ICE user page] I tried to make this a proper interwiki link, but my en:User:3ICE attempt failed in the preview states:
*I'm 19.
But that is because I last edited it about 2 years ago.

I would like to replace my age with a code snippet, to avoid making a new edit every year just to update it. (I do not wish to remove my age from my user page.)

How would I code <code>Convert to years ( Current date - My birthday )</code> in MediaWiki's ParserFunctions Expr format? (Or some other programming language available on mediawiki) The help article did not cover subtracting dates, and googling around did not turn up anything I could use either. (I know, I probably didn't look hard enough.)

I study programming, but this problem has me stumped. Please help, [[User:3ICE|3ICE]] ([[User talk:3ICE|talk]]) 21:05, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

== calling functions in a hook extension ==

I'm trying to write a hook extension.
I have .php file which has:
<source lang="php">
// Load this php code.
$wgAutoloadClasses['AddImages'] = $dir . 'AddImages.body.php';
//Hooks
$wgHooks['EditPage::showEditForm:fields'][] = 'AddImages::fnAddImages';

Then in AddImages.body.php I have the class and functions
Class AddImages{
function form(){
//some php code
}
function fnAddImages(){
global $wgOut, $wgHooks, $wgUser;
// some code $call form = form();
$wgOut -> $call form;
return true;
}
}
</source>
My issue is I need to call another function eg form() within fnAddImages() but when I try to I get the message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function form();

How to I call other functions in the class besides for the 'hooked' function? Am I missing something about understanding hooks?
I need to output other data (form submission) besides for just returning true on the hooked function. I thought I would do this by calling other functions within the hook. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks, I'm really stuck on this. [[User:Lucy Tech|LTech]] ([[User talk:Lucy Tech|talk]]) 07:38, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
:You should be able to do <code>self::form()</code> to call another function from the same class as your hook (statically anyways. To call non-statically use <code>$this->form()</code>. In your example you have the hook function being registered to be called statically, but the actual function not being declared as static).

:While at it, you may want to rename the class to <code>AddImagesHooks</code> and make sure that the statically called functions actually are static:
:<source lang="php">
// Load this php code.
$wgAutoloadClasses['AddImagesHooks'] = $dir . 'AddImages.hooks.php';
//Hooks
$wgHooks['EditPage::showEditForm:fields'][] = 'AddImagesHooks::doAdd';

Is it possible to filter "recent changes"?

* "I only want to see changes to pages belonging to the American Civil War portal"
* "I only want to see changes to pages from the XYZ category"

== Wiki family ==

Hello!

I want to have some wikis in different languages, sharing the same media-files in another, single wiki. When all wikis are on one server all works. I use such code for language-wikis:

$wgUploadNavigationUrl = "http://commons.mydomen.org/index.php/Special:Upload";
$wgUseSharedUploads = true;
$wgSharedUploadPath = 'http://commons.mydomen.org/images';
$wgSharedUploadDirectory = '/volume1/web/commons/images/';
$wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true;

And everything works like with commons.wikimedia.org. But when language-wikis are on different server and have own IP, this code doesn't work. I undestand that problem is in $wgSharedUploadDirectory. But how to overcome this? Thanks for any help! [[User:ZelChief|ZelChief]] ([[User talk:ZelChief|talk]]) 10:33, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
:Have a look at [[manual:$wgForeignFileRepos]]. If you want to use ForeignDBRepo/ForeignDBRepoViaLB (the most efficient option) you still need to have the upload directory locally accessible from each server. You can do something like nfs for that. (ForeignAPIRepo doesn't have that requirement, but is inefficient) [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] ([[User talk:Bawolff|talk]]) 18:51, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Could you also look at the questions I put on the talk page at the above wiki ... and reply to me at raogk_mcowan@yahoo.com

== passing values in editform hook ==

I've created a hook extension so when you edit a page there is a button 'add images' and a popup with a form comes up.
$wgHooks['EditPage::showEditForm:fields'][] = 'AddImagesHooks::fnAddImages';

There are radio buttons 'upload image' or 'choose from existing'. However when I submit the form and look at the source code it only works for the id=editform and I can't pass any information though the form. It seems the hook 'editform' is overriding my form actions and method.

<form id="editform" name="editform" method="post" action="index.php?title=I_want_a_new_page&amp;action=submit" enctype="multipart/form-data"><form id="popup" action="index.php?title=I_want_a_new_page" method="get"><input name="addimage" type="radio" value="hello" />Choose from Exisiting <input name="addimage" type="radio" value="go" />Upload Image </form><button id="addImage">Add Image</button>
How do I pass my values, overriding the 'editform' action?
Also I get the message 'Remember that this is only a preview. Your changes have not yet been saved!'
and 'Warning: This page was deleted after you started editing!' and everything is deleted.
What is going on? Thanks [[User:Lucy Tech|LTech]] ([[User talk:Lucy Tech|talk]]) 07:55, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

== SMW Result Formats Timeline: Data range < 1900 doesn't appear ==

Hello, 
I already have posted this query on the SMW Result Formats talk page, but it might be related to the general Mediawiki code - therefore here we go: 

I recently have installed the latest revision of Mediawiki (1.18.1) and created my own wiki. I also installed the lates version of SMW (1.7.0.2) and Semantic Result Formats (1.7.0) in order to create a timeline with historic data from the village where I live. It all works perfectly well - except the fact that all dates prior to 1900 are not displayed in the timeline. In the documentation of the SMW Extension it says that dates back to the beginning of time are supported. However, somewhere inside the Mediawiki forums I read a hint that Mediawiki might only support dates back to approx. 1900 and not further back. Is this true and is there any workaround? I actually can't believe that there isn't one... Furthermore, I've seen other Mediawiki timeline extensions like EasyTimeline that show up historic data back to stoneages, therefore it's hard to believe that the reason for this behavour is Mediawiki. 
URL of my page is: http://hvg-wiki.heimatverein-gymnich.de/index.php/Zeitleiste. 
Versions: 
PHP: 5.2.12-nmm2 (apache2handler) 
MySQL: 5.1.43-nmm4-log

== Cannot seem to secure my wiki from unauthorized account creations, edits, etc. ==

MediaWiki 1.15.2
PHP 5.3.5 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.1.54-log

I have a Mediawiki installation at Climatewiki.org. Over the past several months, we've had many occasions of unwanted spam entries, even edits to existing pages. After each episode, I would discover the LocalSettings.php had been modified back to less-secure settings. I'd replace it with my more-secure version and things would be fine again for awhile.

This episode is different. I've pasted my LocalSettings.php below. But it hasn't made a difference -- account creation is still being permitted, even though I'm fairly sure it shouldn't be. I'm wondering now if someone who knows more about this stuff than I do has somehow over-ridden the localsettings.php. How would they do that?

Any help would be appreciated. LocalSettings.php currently is (I've replaced with xxxxx passwords and other information I'd rather not share); relevant settings at the bottom of the file:

== Mediawiki not working properly when installed under proxied zone ==

Our MediaWiki is set up on a zone that is sitting behind a proxy: "https://domainname.com/wiki"
It is installed under /etc/opt/csw/apache2/share/htdocs/mediawiki/.

For some reason, it has problems with the path ("https://domainname.com/wiki/mediawiki"). We have tried combinations of the following paths in LocalSettings.php, but nothing is working.

$wgScriptPath = "/mediawiki" or "/wiki/mediawiki"
$wgServer = "http://zonename" or "https://domainname.com/wiki"

Any advises or suggestions? Thanks for your help.

:$wgServer should definitely have only the protocol and the host. It should not have any of the path (aka not the /wiki ), and it should contain the server name as the outside world sees it. $wgScriptPath needs to point actually to the directory containing the file index.php for your wiki.
:If /etc/opt/csw/apache2/share/htdocs corresponds for the outside world to something like http://domainname.com/ and your wikis php files (index.php, load.php etc) are in the directory /etc/opt/csw/apache2/share/htdocs/mediawiki then your config would probably look like:
:<syntaxhighlight lang='text'>$wgScriptPath = '/mediawiki';
$wgServer = 'http://domainname.com';
// if you wanted both http and https to work, you might try $wgServer = '//domainname.com'; . If using squid caching, that might require some additional set up to make it purge things correctly for both http and https.

:::Well basically those configuration variables need to be set in such a way that the following would give an edit page url <code>$wgServer . $wgScriptPath . '/index.php?title=Some_Page&action=edit'</code> that would, if you directly typed it into your web browser, actually go to the edit page. (That's a bit of a white lie, the construction of such urls is actually a bit more complicated, but that's the basic version of how those variables work)
:::Note, all these variables are for how the web browser sees the url (and not how the web server sees the url), so even if https://domainname.com/wiki maps to some sort of virtual server, as far as the web browser is concerned, the actual server is https://domainname.com and the /wiki part is part of the $wgScriptPath.

== Retrieve password... safe mode problem. ==

Hi, I created a new user account in my MW, but forgot the password. When I try to change it (or when the user himself tries to) the following message appears:

"SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The fifth parameter is disabled in SAFE MODE"

How can I:

1) delete the fifth parameter OR
2) disable the safe mode?

:We really recommend avoiding using safe mode if possible. It doesn't actually make anything "safer" but is a giant pain.
:This particular message seems to be related to sending email. This particular issue has been fixed on the unstable version MediaWiki. The ways around this problem are:
:*Use MediaWiki 1.19 or higher. This isn't officially released yet, so you'd need to download from svn, etc. Should be out in a month or 2 though.
:*Find the file includes/UserMailer.php in your mediawiki install, and make the change described by the diff at [//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/99411 rev:99411]
:*Use [[manual:$wgSMTP]] to send mail (may or may not be possible on your set up)
:*Use one of the alternative methods that don't require email support to reset the password (there's a list of methods at [[Manual:Resetting_passwords]])

== Permanent deletion? ==

Okay, so here is an example vandalism scene I replayed in a test installation of MediaWiki:
#127.0.0.1 replaces the Main Page with nonsense
#Administrator reverts the edit
#127.0.0.1 replaces the Main Page with nonsense again
#Administrator reverts the edit
#Administrator protects the Main Page
#127.0.0.1 copies off the article about MediaWiki on Wikipedia (a copyrighted source) and pastes it on Test Wiki
#Administrator deletes the "MediaWiki" page
#127.0.0.1 pastes Wikipedia's article about MediaWiki on Test Wiki again
#Administrator deletes the "MediaWiki" page again

However, the pages with their content, revision entries and so on remain in the database.

Therefore, the database size unnessecarily increases nearly 1MB and, if the full database is available publicly, especially speaking for the copyright violation, anyone can look at the database dump to see the page which violated copyright law.

Will there ever be a way to permanently delete pages along with the regular way to delete pages in MediaWiki (completely remove them from the database, although the permanently-deleted pages cannot be restored) and solve any of the problems with ''deleted pages remaining in the database just so another administrator can restore it''? --[[Special:Contributions/218.186.15.10|218.186.15.10]] 07:22, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:Hi,
:I think no one should have to care, if the DB is an MB bigger or smaller. If DB size is a problem for you, you should maybe change to a hoster, which offers more ressources there.

:::Where exactly did I tell him that he shouldn't care? I told him that in my opinion he should not '''have''' to care about the available DB size. This is something completely different. But obviously some guys could misunderstand that; let me make this more clear: Today you can purchase harddisks with some terrabytes in size. Depending on usage, MediaWiki databases can grow quickly up to a few hundred megabytes or more. There it sounds like a joke to tell us that you had to care for "nearly one megabyte". If you cannot save new data in your database, you won't be able to run MediaWiki correctly. In the worst case you will even break your system. You need free space just to continue running the system; any changes on pages and such will need even more space. If you have to worry about a single megabyte, you should really change to a hosting package or even to another hoster, where you have more space available.

== The word 'from' causes fatal errors (sometimes)! ==

So I have an installation of MediaWiki. When editing the content of an article, sometimes the presence of the word 'from' will cause the server to throw a 500 error. If I substitute the instances of that word with something else--say, 'DERP'--the article saves and displays no problem.

Anyone have ideas on what causes this, or what I can do to fix it? I'm on a shared hosting account, so I can't see the PHP error log--just the one linked to in cpanel.:< [[Special:Contributions/66.66.190.94|66.66.190.94]] ([[User talk:66.66.190.94|talk]]) 09:25, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

== Tag hook: recursiveTagParse() - TOC not loaded ==

I'm using tags like
<pre><foo>
== Heading 1 ==
Text

== Heading 2 ==
Text

== Heading 3 ==
Text
</foo>
</pre>
To create a div around the content:
<pre>function efMoreMarkup( &$parser ) {
$parser->setHook( 'foo', 'efFoo' );
return true;
}
function efFoo( $input , $args , $parser ) {
$input = $parser-> recursiveTagParse( $input );
return '<div class="foo">' . $input . '</div>';
}
</pre>

But then tag doesn't work and the TOC is not loaded (forcing it via <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> doesn't help). Is there a solution to it so the tag doesn't need to be set below each heading? [MW 1.18.0] [[User:Subfader|Subfader]] ([[User talk:Subfader|talk]]) 15:19, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

:None of your links are working (also "static" links like to the RecentChanges page), because they miss the base URL. Having a look at the Recent Changes page for example you have spam in that page at places, where it cannot be put, if the attacker was just using the web interface.

== Basic question *HOW* to edit!? ==

It's assumed here, in the documentation of LocalSettings.php, that the readers knows
where this file is.

It would be kinda helpful if the documentation told me that.

You might think that "gee, if you need to edit LocalSettings then surely
you know where it was installed." But that is not the case. In my case
(just as one example) I have had a mediawiki installed for me on a hosted
server.

Now the first thing I want to do is change $wgLogo. It's proving
hard to do...

:How to change $wgLogo:
:# you have to edit the file LocalSettings.php which will be in the main directory of you wiki-installation
:#* always good to do: copy the original LocalSettings.php to LocalSettings.php.backup (just in case)
:#* change the value of $wgLogo
:# activate the changes (just hitting the refresh-button doesn't help always. Probably depending on the browser settings...)
:#* hit the refresh-button in you browser. You might also have to delete the cache to make the changes visible!

I have a question: I'm on my wiki. How can i reach the file and what i need to do to edit it? -20eric06

:[[LocalSettings.php]] is not editable from the wiki (probably because this would create massive security risks). To edit this kind of file, you need a way to edit files on your server's [[w:File system|file system]]. Evidently, the authors of the [[LocalSettings.php]] help assume the reader is the same person who [[Help:Installation|installed MediaWiki]] on a given server. If you have the skills to get through [[Help:Installation]], then you have the skills to edit any of the setup files such as [[LocalSettings.php]]. Obviously this assumption fails for the potentially large class of MediaWiki sysops who hired a [[w:Web hosting service|Web hosting service]] to install MediaWiki for them. If you hired someone else to install MediaWiki for you, then you are left with no obvious way to get at [[LocalSettings.php]], that is if you rely on the MediaWiki documentation as your only information source.
:The situation is not entirely hopeless, because every [[w:Web hosting service|Web hosting service]] must provide some way for the customer to change files on the server. To find out the method(s) you can use, contact your [[w:Web hosting service|Web hosting service]] or look on their Web site for documentation. The details will vary from one service to another, but every hosting service customer needs to change files on the server, somehow, so any competent service will tell you how they let you do this. Here are some methods your service might use:
:*[[w:Web content management system|Web content management system]]
:*[[w:Unix shell|Unix shell]] login, via [[w:TELNET|telnet]], [[w:SSH|ssh]], etc., and then you use a [[w:Text editor|text editor]] running on the server (such as the newbie-hostile [[w:Vi|vi]] or [[w:Emacs|emacs]]) to edit files there. This method might be common for servers running a [[w:LAMP (software bundle)|LAMP software bundle]].
:*The service might let you download files via [[w:FTP|ftp]] (or [[w:Rsync|rsync]], [[w:FileZilla|FileZilla]], etc.), edit them locally with some editor such as [[w:Notepad|Notepad]], and upload them back to the server.
:*The service might charge you a fee and edit files on their server for you.
:Note: something like my explanation above probably belongs in a help page here aimed at MediaWiki sysops who had a Web hosting service install MediaWiki for them. — [[User:Teratornis|Teratornis]] 17:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

::If you hire a [[w:Web hosting service|Web hosting service]] to install MediaWiki for you, you might benefit from also [[Wiki_on_a_stick|installing MediaWiki on your own Windows computer]], so you can experiment with customizing it. It would probably be cheaper to prototype with your own MediaWiki install, where you won't be getting billed by the hour; then when you know exactly what to change, you can contact your [[w:Web hosting service|Web hosting service]] to see about making the same changes on their server. If you learn what is going on behind the wiki interface, things like [[LocalSettings.php]] will make more sense. [[User:Teratornis|Teratornis]] 20:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

== Where is this file? ==

I believe that if I find the [[LocalSettings.php]] file, I can translate all of the namespaces (currently in English) into my language wikipedia.

Unfortunately, no matter what I try, I cannot seem to locate this file.

I notice that many other people have asked this same question, but I have not found any answer.

:See my comments above in [[Talk:LocalSettings.php#Basic_question_.2AHOW.2A_to_edit.21.3F|Basic question *HOW* to edit!?]]. It sounds like you don't have access to the [[w:File system|file system]] on the [[w:Server|server]] that hosts your [[w:MediaWiki|MediaWiki software]]. If you did, and if your server runs a [[w:Unix-like|Unix-like]] [[w:Operating system|OS]] (which I believe is true for all the language Wikipedias), you could probably find your [[LocalSettings.php]] with a <code>[[w:Find|find]]</code> command like this:
:*<code>find / -iname 'LocalSettings.php' -print</code>
:If you need to prototype some complicated MediaWiki setup, you may be better off [[Manual:Wiki on a stick|installing your own MediaWiki]] to practice with, and then when you know exactly what you want to change, contact your [[w:Web hosting service|Web hosting service]] (which in this case sounds like it would be the system administrators for your language Wikipedia, that is, the people who have file system access to the servers rather than merely administrator access through the wiki interface). — [[User:Teratornis|Teratornis]] 03:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

== Back It Up ==
Make sure you back this file up. I recently had a power failure while uploading a modified version resulting in a 0 byte LocalSettings.php both local and remote. The only way I could find to restore the file was to reinstall the wiki and try to remember what had been changed. {{unsigned|87.243.197.20|21:26, 5 November 2007}}

I believe there are some missing steps in the Latex equations enabling instructions in this page.

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.)

I have seen the file but still could not make it work. I think I should have texvc executable in the math directory, but I could not make "Make" works. Is there any texvc.exe already compiled for windows?

== One user-db for multi mediaWiki's? ==

Hello, I will install multi mediaWiki's on my homepage, but i don't like that, the user must be regisrie/login of all my wiki's.
How can/must be chance the LocalSettings.php to use one 'user'-DB?

I know/think must use
:* a one mySQL-IP (???.???.???.???)
:* a one mySQL-DataBase-Name (DB????)
:* a one mySQL-DataBase-Tabel for the user-name/-password ('user')
:* and for all wikis must set a prefix ('en_????', 'de_????', and so....)

Ok, but now? what must chance for all wikis? to use the 'user'-tabel in all wikis?
How chance the prefix for 'user'-DB from 'en_user', 'de_user', ..... -> TO -> 'user' without a prefix for the 'user'-DB ?

Please can you write me onto my page discussion-page.

== Installation Error ==

I am a total newbie trying to implement my first installation of MediaWiki. When I run the installer by pointing to the config folder I almost get an installation. But, I get the following output and have no idea where to go frem here or even if I am posting this at the right place in the right way. Here is the output and I am hoping someone can help me complete this installation:

# PHP 4.3.11: ok
# Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should disable it if you are able.
# PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
# Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
# PHP is configured with no memory_limit.
# Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
# Turck MMCache not installed, can't use object caching functions
# Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads.
# Found GD graphics library built-in.

# Script URI path: /FFWiki

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'title' in /mounted-storage/home5/sub004/sc12824-RFHO/www/freeflow/FFWiki/includes/Setup.php on line 370

== 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!

Additionally, part of the pages disappear as Mitch describes. My approach would be to create a database dump and then reinstall the wiki with a new name, then import the dump.

Please help me with this...

This error message occurs when "require_once( "$IP/includes/DefaultSettings.php" );" is not found. You may have commented or modified that line.

==Should I save Localsetting.php as utf8 encoding ?==
If I want to use some ExtraNamespaces in Chinese, I have to save Localsetting.php with utf8 encoding. But sometimes some error will occur, for example, the setting in common.css page will be desable and some functions will become unstable.

When I save it with other encoding, like big5 encoding, the ExtraNamespaces in Chinese will be unable.

Now, I save Localsetting.php in English and insert a line like followed:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ExtraNamespace.php" );
The ExtraNamespace.php is a utf8 encoding file and the content of the file is the setting involved with ExtraNamespaces. Then all problems I've met will be solved.

Can I do it by this way? or I should not use any ExtraNamespaces in Chinese. But I've tried to set all ExtraNamespaces in English and change the file .\languages\messages\MessagesZh_tw.php, but I always failed.

<strike>On several occasions, I have have tried editing '''LocalSettings.php''' by adding "require_once" extensions toward the end (but before the '''>?''' characters).

:Make sure that you are getting the correct variations of the Cite and ParserFunctions extension for your PHP version. I think Cite is fine, but the current version of ParserFunctions requires PHP 5 in order to run (and since you're running MediaWiki 1.6.10, I'm assuming you only have PHP 4). Try getting the other version of it and see if that works.

== Editing LocalSettings.php has created an error I can't get rid of. ==

I recently edited LocalSettings.php. After saving the changes, I tried to access my wiki, but it gave me an error.
After receiving the error, I took out the aforementioned change. Now my wiki gives me a completely different error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /etc/mediawiki1.10/LocalSettings.php:2) in
/usr/share/mediawiki1.10/includes/WebResponse.php on line 10 whenever I try to save a page. The wiki will also display the
same error on any of the wiki pages, at the top, where the header would be. The pages are still visible, except when someone
tries to edit a page.

A "default" copy of LocalSettings.php would be apreciated. I know there is no default exactly, but I just need something
that I can compare to my copy of LocalSettings, so I can see what is different and fix it. I realize that site names and
such would have to be different, but that's not what I need to see, I just need something that has all the same variables
and variable assignments as LocalSettings would when first installed.

== Securing this file ==

Nowhere can I find instructions on the generally accepted way to secure LocalSettings.php. This file sits in my root directory and contains plaintext passwords. Do I just chmod 700? Is that the only level of security provided? It seems like an awfully big risk. If someone does know a generally recommended way to secure this file, it should be listed both on this page and on [[Manual:Installing MediaWiki]]. — [[User:Epastore|Epastore]] 15:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
: The php/web user needs to be able to access the password in order to contact that database. So, it can not be secured against access by that user. Encrpyting it in some way would just be obfuscation, since the means for decrypting would have to be available to that user too.
: Since access by other users is prevented by the 700 access mode, I don't see a problem here. A second line of defense would be telling the database server to only accept connections from localhost or at least only the local lan. This is standard procedure and would prevent anattacker from accessing your database even if the password should be leaked.
: I don't know, and can't think of, any other way for web applications to secure the passwords they used for accessing the databse. Its the same for a normal multiuser system: your database password sits in ~/.my.cnf as plain text and is protected against access by others only by the file's mode. -- [[User:Duesentrieb|Duesentrieb]] [[User talk:Duesentrieb|⇌]] 16:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
::So is that what you do, just change the posix permissions? I am looking for some sort of generally accepted practice. What does Wikimedia do?
::Relying only on posix permissions seems to mean that if the server happens to have a hole (such as a newly discovered hole in php or apache for which there is not yet a patch), then my site could be effectively rooted. The most common exploits I see are "escalated privileges," i.e., breaking posix permissions.
::And shouldn't this security practice be documented somewhere? The default installation leaves the database password open to anyone who can browse to that file, does it not? Or does the .php suffix act as a basic level of security?
::As for the user needing the permission... it also means that anyone with ftp to the mediawiki directory can see the database password. Sometimes people are given ftp without being given full reign over the database, are they not?
::These are genuine questions... I am a newbie and would love to be proven wrong about any of the above. :) — [[User:Epastore|Epastore]] 21:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:::One thing that you can do is create and use a limited database user. Add a single purpose user that only has access to the wiki database and grant it select, insert, update and delete permissions.

== Blank wiki main page - subtly corrupted LocalSettings.php ==

Originally this entry would been about a "Wiki has a problem" message, but I quickly realized that I had changed the mysql password that MediaWiki needed. After updating the database password in LocalSettings.php, my MediaWiki started coming up completely blank. The web server didn't log any errors, so kept looking and I finally found this in phperror.log:

[31-May-2008 18:51:33] PHP Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in C:\www\wiki\LocalSettings.php on line 3 
[31-May-2008 18:51:33] PHP Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in C:\www\wiki\LocalSettings.php on line 4 
[31-May-2008 18:51:33] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\www\wiki\LocalSettings.php on line 4

The strange thing is that the file looked fine, no stray characters. It turns out that the Visual Grep editor that I'd used to edit the password had somehow corrupted the line endings. Opening it in a clean text editor (not notepad, metapad in my case) and saving over top of the file fixed it. I found references online to this sort of thing happening on Macs as well.

Or perhaps the file had gone stale and needed to be aired out. Regardless, good luck! - [[user:ivolucien|IvoLucien]] - 31-May-2008 19:36:44

== 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:

== What type of text editor to use? ==

It says, "Don't edit this file with [[Notepad]] or other [[text editor]] that adds byte order marks to files, or you will break your wiki." What is a better text editor to use? [[Metapad]]? [[User:Tisane|Tisane]] 02:40, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Of course, we can't include a bunch of software names on the LocalSettings.php page, but maybe a link could be provided to a list of suitable and unsuitable text editors?

== GNU Licence ==

A wiki i am setting up wishes to go under a GNU License, in order to prevent similar wikis at Wikia from stealing content. Is this advisable? if so, what settings do i need to set in order to run a GNU-licensed wiki? thanks [[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 18:29, 24 February 2010 (UTC).

== Activating the code ==

How do you activate the code once you have configured it so that it works on wikis? Is there also a way to use this on non-wikimedia wikis, such as WiiBrew? [[User:Keyboard mouse|Keyboard mouse]] 01:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

== I want to remove the square brackets on edit links ==

I'd like to set my edit links to be denoted with CSS styling (which I have done:

-webkit-border-radius: 2em;
border-radius: 2em;
border: 1px solid white;
}
)

However the square brackets in the [edit] links makes this look terrible. I want them gone. I don't see a preference for this, and I cannot easily find where in what file adds these in. Any clues? [[Special:Contributions/69.30.57.81|69.30.57.81]] 19:05, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

== $wgGroupPermission BEFORE OR AFTER extension calls? ==

Hope I'm i the right place to ask this. Would like to know what the correct order is between $wgGroupPermission and extension require/include_once calls? Should the permission be granted before the extension is loaded? Or vice cersa? 
:Which of these two is correct: 
::''$wgGroupPermissions['group' ]['function' ] = true;'' 
::''require_once("$IP/extensions/Folder/File.php");'' 
:'''OR''' 
::''require_once("$IP/extensions/Folder/File.php");'' 
::''$wgGroupPermissions['group' ]['function' ] = true;'' 
'''OR''' does it matter? I have been testing both orders and either seems to work but some extension authors insist one order while another author wants it the opposite. 'Put mine first', 'Put this last'. I just want to know how the MW core system wants. And if every author wants their stuff last what then? '''''Confused''''' 06:16, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

== Comments ==

The comment signs in the default localsettings.php are # or ##, is there any reason for this? It seems to me // or /*...*/ works too, but can this make any problems? --[[User:Lastwebpage|Lastwebpage]] 14:50, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

==Help==

I'm working on setting up a wiki for a website and need to know a few things. I am not the person who installed the wiki, but I need access to the localsettings.php. Is there a way that by setting up a wiki-family? that I can gain the ability to edit this? A commonsettings.php? Also, the common.css files are not accessible to me either, although I have b'crat access on the wiki. Must this be changed in the localsettings.php so I can customize our skin?

== Update outdated information ==

The page is currently protected so that I cannot change it myself. It says:
: ''Do not place extensions before the require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" ); line; that will blank the extension setup function arrays, causing no extensions to be installed, and probably making your wiki inaccessible.''

However, this is only right for MediaWiki 1.16 and older. Since MW 1.17, DefaultSettings.php no longer has to be included in LocalSettings.php instead.

It would be great, if someone could update that!

Manual:LocalSettings.php

2012-03-08T11:33:16Z

MrBlueSky: see talk

{{BOMWarning}}

{{MW file|LocalSettings.php|/|NotInSVN=created during installation}}

The '''<code>LocalSettings.php</code>''' file provides local [[Manual:Configuration settings|configuration settings]] (based on the <code>'''DefaultSettings.php'''</code> file) of a [[MediaWiki]] installation. You should take your time to review the settings in this file. The file is usually generated by the web-based MediaWiki installer but you might want to tweak some of the parameters, possibly in concert with Apache settings. For MediaWiki installations configured as a [[wiki farm]], a file named <code>[[Manual:CommonSettings.php|CommonSettings.php]]</code> may be used instead.

Changing a setting usually means changing the value of a [[w:PHP|PHP]] variable. You might want to make yourself familiar with the PHP syntax first before going ahead. As a rule of thumb, keep in mind that PHP variables are accessed by prepending a "$" character before the variable name; many variables are simply set to either <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>.

Your changes will take effect immediately after saving the file: there is no need to manually "restart" anything. In some cases you may need to clear your browser's cache to see changes.

The ''default'' values of many more settings are set in <tt>includes/DefaultSettings.php</tt>, ''which should not be edited;'' if the variable you want to change is not already mentioned in your <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt>, copy the appropriate line from <tt>DefaultSettings</tt> and modify it appropriately. Within <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt> you could add new lines at the end. All such lines should certainly appear below the line which says '<tt>require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" );</tt>'

Within the file, there can also be several lines such as '<tt>require_once( "extensions/''extension''.php" );</tt>', which link to other [[Extension:Contents|extensions]] enabled on the wiki. Those extensions may require setting the values of more variables in <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt>; check the extension's documentation for further instructions. A list of extensions is available at [[Extension Matrix]].

:{{caution}}
:In '''MediaWiki 1.16 and earlier''' it is important to not place extensions before the <tt>require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" );</tt> line; that will blank the extension setup function arrays, causing no extensions to be installed, and probably making your wiki inaccessible. Since 1.17 it's no longer necessary for LocalSettings.php to include DefaultSettings.php.

Your version of <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt> may not end with a closing PHP tag of '''<tt>?></tt>'''. This is done on purpose, as it prevents people from accidentally adding new information ''after'' this tag. PHP will function just fine without a closing tag.

See the [[Manual:Configuration settings|configuration settings index]] and the comments included in the settings files for help on what all the variables do. A short listing of the most important variables, as well as the most requested features, is listed below.

If you have a wiki on a MediaWiki [[w:wiki farm|wiki farm]] you may not have write-access (perhaps not even read-access) to the file LocalSettings.php (see e.g.[http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum%3ALocalSettings.php%3F]). The wiki farm company may or may not be willing to make changes you desire. Perhaps it wants to keep most settings the same on all wikis of the wiki farm.

{{note|1=Before 1.17, this file was automatically generated by the installer script and placed in the 'config' folder. As of 1.17, this file is no longer written to your webserver for security reasons. It is now offered as a download, which you must then upload to your server for your wiki to begin working. For a more complete explanation, see [http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=New-installer_issues&diff=334526&oldid=333913 this explanation].}}

==Standard settings==
===Include path===
The '''[[Manual:$IP|$IP]]''' (include path) variable holds the local file path to the base installation of your wiki. Make sure you refer to the fully qualified file path. Do not include a slash at the end of the path.

The [[Manual:Configuration settings|DefaultSettings.php]] file gets loaded from the directory designated by the IP variable.

===Site name===
The '''[[Manual:$wgSitename|$wgSitename]]''' variable holds the name of your wiki setup. This name gets included many times throughout the system. For instance, the [[:w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] tagline "'From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia."' makes use of this setting.

===Site language===
The '''[[Manual:$wgLanguageCode|$wgLanguageCode]]''' variable controls the language of your wiki's interface. While users can switch the language they see in their [[Special:Preferences|preferences]], this variable sets the default language that all anonymous users and most registered users see.

===Declination of site name===
Some translations of interface are ready for inflection of site name. You can set proper forms of word in variables '''[[Manual:$wgGrammarForms|$wgGrammarForms]]'''.

===Script path===
'''[[Manual:$wgScriptPath|$wgScriptPath]]''' is the URL path prefix to access the main MediaWiki script that is the central acting piece of code of MediaWiki. This setting should correspond to the [[Apache configuration|Apache settings]], especially if you are using Apache's [[w:Rewrite_engine|rewrite]] rules.

===Server name===
'''[[Manual:$wgServer|$wgServer]]''' can be used optionally to overwrite the automatic detection. When the wiki is accessed from either the localhost where it runs, from an intranet or from the internet, e-mail notifications and a few other computed messages would be usually delivered with the different URLs. Using <code>$wgServer</code> overwrites the detection and the server name will be constant.

If www.example.com is the server address of your wiki as seen from the internet, add a line such as
<source lang="php">$wgServer = 'http://www.example.com';</source>

The [[m:Help:Magic words#Page names and related info|magic word]] variable <code><nowiki>{{SERVER}}</nowiki></code> can be used on wiki pages; it equals the value of <code>$wgServer</code>; however, on a wiki, such as those in the WikiMedia family, where relative urls are used, it will not fully expand, for example here it displays {{SERVER}}, which can neither be clicked nor copy-pasted into the address bar as it is.

===Script name===
'''[[Manual:$wgScript|$wgScript]]''' is the name of the main (index) MediaWiki PHP script, named <tt>index.php</tt> by default. Changing the script name is probably not a good idea. However, if you feel the urge to do so, this is the place to make your changes. Make sure you know what you are doing.

===Redirect script name===
The '''[[Manual:$wgRedirectScript|$wgRedirectScript]]''' variable specifies the URL path to the ''redirect script'' which handles redirects in MediaWiki. This setting is similar to wgScript as you can configure the exact name of the script. As mentioned above, this is probably not a good idea unless you really know what you are doing.

===Article path===
'''[[Manual:$wgArticlePath|$wgArticlePath]]''' is the path to use when accessing a page in MediaWiki. The path should contain the path to the main script (usually making use of <code>$wgScript</code>) and use the <tt>$1</tt> placeholder for the article name.

If you are using Apache rewrite rules to create pretty and short URLs, you probably need to adjust <code>$wgArticlePath</code> to address the right path. Note that wgArticlePath is used to construct URLs from within MediaWiki. If you make a mistake here, internal links will show up incorrectly while you still may be able to access the main page by specifying the correct URL manually. See [[Manual:Short URL]] for more information on URL configuration.

Typical values are:

{| class="wikitable"
| "<tt>$wgScript/$1</tt>"
| pass the article name with separator "/"
|-
| "<tt>$wgScript?title=$1</tt>"
| pass the article name as a parameter (old style)
|-
| "<tt>/mypath/$1</tt>"
| custom path. Use Apache rewrite rules to convert "mypath" to the proper path accessing the main script
|}

===Stylesheet location===
Use the '''[[Manual:$wgStylePath|$wgStylePath]]''' variable to set the URL path to the place where the stylesheets (CSS) for the MediaWiki installation are located. The '''[[Manual:$wgStyleDirectory|$wgStyleDirectory]]''' variable should point the same place, but note that this is a local file system path for use in internal scripts accessing the file system.

===Upload location===
The upload directory is the place where files uploaded by the users are stored. The '''[[Manual:$wgUploadPath|$wgUploadPath]]''' variable specifies the URL path, the '''[[Manual:$wgUploadDirectory|$wgUploadDirectory]]''' points to the local file system path.

===Logo===
The '''[[Manual:$wgLogo|$wgLogo]]''' variable specifies which graphical logo is displayed in the top left corner of all mediawiki pages.

Add the following two lines to <code>LocalSettings.php</code> (below the "require" statements):

<source lang="php">
$wgStylePath = "/wiki/skins/";
$wgLogo = "{$wgStylePath}/common/images/wiki.png";
</source>

This replaces the default logo in the /wiki/skins/common/images/ directory.

The logo must be web accessible. The value of this variable is passed to the web browser, which uses it to fetch the logo. If in doubt, a good way to pick what to put here is navigate to the logo in your web browser (for example, this wiki the url of the logo is http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/b/bc/Wiki.png ), and put the full url as the value of this variable.

Some people just replace the skins/common/images/wiki.png file with their logo. This is not recommended, as the customized logo would be overwritten on upgrade.

===Contact info===
The '''[[Manual:$wgEmergencyContact|$wgEmergencyContact]]''' variable is the e-mail address of the user to contact when things happen. This e-mail address is used to send internal bug reports to. As an administrator, you want to include your e-mail address here.

The '''[[Manual:$wgPasswordSender|$wgPasswordSender]]''' variable is the e-mail address where e-mail gets sent ''from'', when passwords are sent out to users who have forgotten their passwords. Choose an address people can reply to in case of trouble or confusion.

===Database settings===
MediaWiki needs access to the database (currently either [[:w:MySQL|MySQL]] or [[:w:PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL]]) to store pages, modifications, user information, and a lot more things.

The '''[[Manual:$wgDBserver|$wgDBserver]]''' contains the hostname where the database is hosted on. In most cases this will be just "localhost" as the database is run on the same system, but for distributed installations, you need to fill in the fully qualified domain name of the computer running the database.

'''[[Manual:$wgDBname|$wgDBname]]''' is the ''database name'' of the database to be used by MediaWiki. A single MySQL or PostgreSQL installation can store more than one database and you can even run many MediaWiki installations on a single server. Make sure you have stated the correct database name here and use different database names for different wiki installations on the same database server.

The '''[[Manual:$wgDBuser|$wgDBuser]]''' and '''[[Manual:$wgDBpassword|$wgDBpassword]]''' variables contain the login name and password to be used by MediaWiki to access the database. Make sure the specified user has the proper access rights to be able to manipulate the wiki's table on the database server.

===Security===
Keep in mind that the LocalSettings.php [[w:File system permissions|permissions]] should not allow other users to view this file as it contains security-related data, including your database user password. [[w:chmod|chmod]] 700 or otherwise set the permissions to something that provides security from public access. The database user only needs to have SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE permissions for the database. See also [[Manual:AdminSettings.php#Security|AdminSettings.php]] (until MediaWiki 1.16) which defines settings for a MySql user that has superuser database permissions to run the maintenance scripts.

===User rights===
The '''[[Manual:$wgGroupPermissions|$wgGroupPermissions]]''' is an associative array, controlling permissions for creating and editing pages for your different user groups. In this array, custom permission levels can be created, and permission levels for the different user groups can be set. See [[Help:User rights]] for more information about the different permissions and user groups available.

===Force capital links===
By default, no page name can start with a lowercase [[:w:Latin alphabet|Roman letter]]: in an attempt to do so the first letter is converted to uppercase; if a link target, included page, image or category is specified with a name starting with a lowercase letter, the actual target etc. is the page starting with the corresponding capital.

Alternatively page names ''can'' start with a lowercase letter, in addition to the possibilities of starting with a capital, a digit, etc. For that you must adjust the '''[[Manual:$wgCapitalLinks|$wgCapitalLinks]]''' variable. Setting it to '''false''' allows lowercase characters, '''true''' chooses the default behaviour.

===Enabling subpages===
On localsettings.php, [[Help:Subpages|subpages]] are enabled on a per-namespace basis using the '''[[Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages|$wgNamespacesWithSubpages]]''' variable. For example, to enable subpages in the main namespace:

<source lang="php">$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = 1;</source>

===Image uploads===
Before users are allowed to upload files to the MediaWiki system, you have to enable that feature. Make sure the Upload Directory is properly configured and writeable by the Apache web server process. Then set the '''[[Manual:$wgEnableUploads|$wgEnableUploads]]''' variable to '''true''' to allow uploading in the web user interface.

i.e. Here's some example code from ''includes/DefaultSettings.php'' to put in ''LocalSettings.php''.
<source lang="php">
$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/uploads"; ## Wiki 1.5 defaults to /images, but allows more than just images
$wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/uploads"; ## Wiki 1.5 defaults to /images, but allows more than just images

## To enable image uploads, make sure the above '$wgUploadPath' directory is writable by Apache User or group.
## ''(i.e. chmod og+w uploads images)'' then the following should be true:
$wgEnableUploads = true;

$wgUseImageResize = true;
$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";

## If you want to use image uploads under safe mode, create the directories images/archive, images/thumb and
## images/temp, and make them all writable. Then uncomment this, if it's not already uncommented:
$wgHashedUploadDirectory = false;
</source>
If you want to be able to resize images on the fly to support thumbnails, MediaWiki needs a working [[:w:ImageMagick|ImageMagick]] installation. Set the '''[[Manual:$wgUseImageResize|$wgUseImageResize]]''' and '''[[Manual:$wgUseImageMagick|$wgUseImageMagick]]''' variables to '''true''' once you have installed and tested ImageMagick on your system. Make sure the '''[[Manual:$wgImageMagickConvertCommand|$wgImageMagickConvertCommand]]''' variable points to the proper location of the <tt>convert</tt> command of your installation, that the command is executable by the web server process, and '''[[Manual:$wgMaxShellMemory|$wgMaxShellMemory]]''' is large enough. See [[Manual:Image Administration#Image thumbnailing]] for detailed information and trouble-shooting.

Also, you may want to modify the list of accepted extensions, which is stored within the '''[[Manual:$wgFileExtensions|$wgFileExtensions]]''' array:
<source lang="php">
$wgFileExtensions = array('png','jpg','jpeg','ogg','doc','xls','ppt','mp3','sxc','pdf');
</source>

In case you run into trouble with ImageMagick, and obtain the following error message:
:<tt>Fatal error: mime_magic could not be initialized, magic file is not available in includes/MimeMagic.php on line 506</tt>
Try adding the following line to LocalSettings.php:
[[Manual:$wgMimeDetectorCommand|$wgMimeDetectorCommand]] = "file -bi";

{{note|Read the [[Manual:Security#Upload_security|upload security]] section in the [[Manual:Security#Upload_security|Manual:Security]]. 
Further information is available in [[Manual:Configuring file uploads]], [[Manual:Mime type detection]], and [[Manual:Image Administration#Image thumbnailing]]. }}

===LaTeX inline equations===
In order to render [[m:Help:Formula|mathematical formulae]] in [[:w:LaTeX|LaTeX]], you need a working LaTeX installation on your system. Set the '''[[Manual:$wgUseTeX|$wgUseTeX]]''' variable to '''true''' to enable that feature. Also make sure the '''[[Manual:$wgMathPath|$wgMathPath]]''', '''[[Manual:$wgMathDirectory|$wgMathDirectory]]''' and '''[[Manual:$wgTmpDirectory|$wgTmpDirectory]]''' are set properly, but you might want to go with the default values unless you have a very good reason to change it.

===Interwiki support===
[[w:InterWiki|InterWiki]] support is built into MediaWiki but you need to configure the prefix to be used for your internal links. This prefix is usually the same as [[Manual:$wgSitename|$wgSitename]], but in case you need to change that, you set the '''[[Manual:$wgLocalInterwiki|$wgLocalInterwiki]]''' variable to the preferred name.

===Language of user interface===
MediaWiki allows for a variety of localized user interfaces languages instead of the english default. If you want to run your wiki in a non-English language, set the '''[[Manual:$wgLanguageCode|$wgLanguageCode]]''' variable to the proper [[Special:SiteMatrix|language code]] (e.g. "de" for German, "es" for Spanish, etc.)

You may use any of the languages found in the directory language. E.g., if you find MessagesEs.php, you can use "'''<code>es</code>'''" for Spanish. Do not use "<code>Es</code>" with a capital letter. Although it seems to work, not all texts are translated.

Note: After changing the language code, you will need to run a php script to make it work.
With your command line tool, go to your wiki directory, open the "maintenance" folder, and type "<code>php rebuildMessages.php --rebuild</code>". Please note that on Windows, the PHP folder might not be included in the PATH environment variable.

Not all languages are supported. See [[localisation statistics|here]] for a list of the localisation statistics of {{CURRENTVERSION}}. See [[betawiki:Translating:Statistics|translatewiki.net]] for the statistics per released version.

===Setting copyright for the site===
* '''[[Manual:$wgRightsPage|$wgRightsPage]]''' is the page on the wiki that covers the copyrights that it falls under. Usually, this will be [[Project:Copyrights]].
* '''[[Manual:$wgRightsUrl|$wgRightsUrl]]''' is the page describing full details of your license. (For the GNU FDL, for example, this would be <code>http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html</code>.)
* '''[[Manual:$wgRightsText|$wgRightsText]]''' is the text in the footer that follows "Content is available under". It will be linked to the page specified in <code>$wgRightsPage</code>.
* '''[[Manual:$wgRightsIcon|$wgRightsIcon]]''' is the URL of the image placed at the left of the footer.
*:Note: If <code>$wgRightsPage</code> is non-empty, the link in the copyright/license notice will link to that page on your site. If <code>$wgRightsPage</code> is empty then the copyright/license notice will link to <code>$wgRightsUrl</code> instead.

To modify the copyright statements of the site, add something like this to LocalSettings.php:
<source lang="php">
$wgRightsPage = "YourWiki:Copyright";
$wgRightsText = "copyright YourWiki";
</source>
Afterwards, edit [[MediaWiki:Copyright]] to provide an appropriate message, using <code>"$1"</code> to indicate the position where the link to your copyright page will be.

'''Example: setting a [[w:Creative Commons|Creative Commons]] license'''

To set a Creative Commons license do the following:

* Choose your license: http://creativecommons.org/text/publish-website
* Examine the returned HTML code, e.g.:
<source lang="html4strict">
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/">
<img alt="Creative Commons License" border="0" src="http://creativecommons.org/images/public/somerights30.png" />
</a>
This work is licensed under a
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/">
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License</a>.
</source>
* For <code>$wgRightsURL</code> enter the href info from the first anchor:
<source lang="php">$wgRightsUrl = "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/";</source>
* For <code>$wgRightsText</code> enter the text the second anchor links from (add the "a" to the Wiki variable for a more grammatically correct version)
<source lang="php">$wgRightsText = "a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License";</source>
* For <code>$wgRightsIcon</code> enter the src info from the img link in the first anchor. You want to copy the badge to your own site instead of using the one from the Creative Commons site.
<source lang="php">$wgRightsIcon = "http://creativecommons.org/images/public/somerights30.png";</source>

* For using RDF metadata about copyright add one or both of the following lines to your LocalSettings.php
<source lang="php">
$wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf = true;
$wgEnableDublinCoreRdf = true;
</source>

===Custom namespaces===
By declaring the '''[[Manual:$wgExtraNamespaces|$wgExtraNamespaces]]''' array, and modifying the '''[[Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages|$wgNamespacesWithSubpages]]''', and '''[[Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault|$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault]]''' arrays, extra namespaces can be added to a MediaWiki installation; and by declaring the '''[[manual:$wgNamespaceAliases|$wgNamespaceAliases]]''' array namespace aliases can be added. '''Take heed''' not to have any pages already titled in that namespace, for instance in you had a page called "Technical:Support" and you created the Technical: namespace, then that page would not only be lost, but you cannot remove it from Special:Allpages. To fix this delete the namespace, move "Technical:Support" to "Support" in mainspace, delete the redirect, reinsert the namespace, and move it back to "Technical:Support". See [[Manual:Using custom namespaces|Custom namespaces]] for more information as to how to do so.

===Skins===
The default skin of the site can be modified via the '''[[Manual:$wgDefaultSkin|$wgDefaultSkin]]''' variable.

Welcome to the '''[[MediaWiki]] installation guide''' which provides instructions on how to manually install and configure MediaWiki on a web server. Note that some users may find MediaWiki [[software bundles]] a convenient alternative to manual installation.

The first part of this guide gives broad general instructions, while the last section contains a list of appendices that give more detailed installation notes for specific system configurations and other less common uses of the software.

== Upgrade guide ==
If you are already running MediaWiki, see the [[Manual:Upgrading|Upgrade guide]].

* [[Download]] MediaWiki (current stable version is {{MW stable release number}})
* '''Web server''' such as [http://httpd.apache.org Apache] or [http://www.microsoft.com/iis IIS]
** Local or command line access is needed for running maintenance scripts
* '''[http://www.php.net PHP]''' version 5.2.3 or later. PHP 5.3.1 is incompatible with MediaWiki due to [http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50394 a bug]. Due to a security issue with PHP it is strongly advised to use PHP 5.2.17+ or PHP 5.3.5+ ([http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2011-January/000094.html see here for more details]).
** with [http://php.net/pcre Perl Compatible Regular Expressions]
** with [http://php.net/spl Standard PHP Library]
* '''Database Server'''
** [http://www.mysql.com MySQL] 4.0 or later (*)
** or [http://www.postgresql.org PostgreSQL] 8.1 or later
*** Requires PL/pgSQL (contained in contribs)
*** Full-Text searching (Native in >=8.3, requires tsearch2 extension <=8.2)

For [[Manual:image thumbnailing|image thumbnailing]] and [[Texvc|TeX]]-support, additional programs are required.

(*) – Even though it may not be officially supported yet, [[w:MariaDB|MariaDB]], a [[w:GPL|GPL]] fork of the MySQL code by Monty Widenius, the founder of MySQL, is an alternative and can also be used by MediaWiki. [http://downloads.askmonty.org/mariadb/repositories/ Debian/Ubuntu repos].

== Quick installation guide ==
For experienced users, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to read the more detailed version, [[#Main installation guide|below]].

# Check that your system meets the [[Manual:Installation requirements|minimum requirements]]

# [[Download|Download MediaWiki]] {{MW stable release link|(direct link to latest version)}} and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
# Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted (e.g., <tt>http://[domain]/mediawiki/index.php</tt>. If installed on a local machine, replace ''[domain]'' with '''localhost'''. If installed on a remote server, replace ''[domain]'' with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com).
# [[Manual:Config script|Follow the on-screen instructions]] to complete the process.

These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could go wrong, so if in doubt, you are advised to read the full instructions below.

=== Notes ===

<div class="plainlinks">
* MediaWiki ships with an installation script which allows web-based configuration
* MediaWiki can share the database of another web-based application, e.g. phpBB etc.
* Knowledge of PHP is required in order to customize the software
* PHP 5 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.7 – if you are using an older version of PHP and cannot upgrade then you should use MediaWiki {{MW ancient release number}} ([http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.6/mediawiki-{{MW ancient release number}}.tar.gz download]). Note that this version is ''no longer supported''.
* MySQL 4 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.6 – if you are using an older version of MySQL and cannot upgrade then you should use MediaWiki 1.5.8 ([http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.5.8.tar.gz?download download]). Note that this version is ''no longer supported''.
* Some users find it helpful to install an additional software package such as [http://www.phpmyadmin.net phpMyAdmin] (MySQL) or [http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/ phpPgAdmin] (Postgres) to help administer the database server.

API:Action API

2012-02-18T18:18:54Z

MrBlueSky: Undo revision 501118 by 216.131.127.86 (talk)

<div style="background: #f0f0e0; border: 2px solid #aaa; padding: 4px 4px 4px 15px; width:80%; margin:0 auto">

MediaWiki has three outward-facing interfaces:
* the '''MediaWiki API''', which provides convenient access to wiki features, data and meta-data. Read this article for an overview of the API.
* the '''[[Special:Export]]''' page, which provides bulk export of wiki content as XML. Read the [[m:Help:Export|Export help article on meta.wikimedia.org]] for more information.
* the '''standard web-based interface''' (which you are likely using right now). Read [[Manual:Parameters to index.php]] for information on using the web-based interface.

You may also be looking for the internal '''[[Manual:Developing_extensions|extension interface]]''', which allows PHP developers to add new functionality to a MediaWiki installation.

</div>

{{API Intro}}

'''This is an introductory overview. See the menu bar on the right for more detailed sub-topics.'''

If you want to monitor a MediaWiki installation, or [[w:Wikipedia:Creating_a_bot|create a bot]] to automatically maintain one, you can use the MediaWiki web service API. The web service API provides direct, high-level access to the data contained in MediaWiki databases. [[API:Client_code|Client programs]] can log in to a wiki, get data, and post changes automatically by making HTTP requests to the web service. Supported clients include [[w:Wikipedia:Creating_a_bot|bots]], thin web-based JavaScript clients such as [[:en:Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups|Navigation popups]] and [[:fr:User:EDUCA33E/LiveRC/Documentation|LiveRC]], end-user applications such as [[:en:User:Henna/VF|Vandal Fighter]], and other web sites ([http://toolserver.org/ Toolserver]'s utilities).

On new MediaWiki installations, the web service is enabled by default, but an administrator can [[API:Restricting_API_usage#Disabling_the_entire_API|disable it]].

== A simple example ==

This URL tells English Wikipedia's web service API to send you the content of the main page:

<source lang="html4strict" enclose="div">
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=query&titles=Main%20Page&prop=revisions&rvprop=content
</source>

Use any programming language to make an HTTP GET request for that URL (or just visit that link in your browser), and you'll get an XML document which includes the current wiki markup for the page titled "Main Page". This is the web service API in action.

Let's pick that URL apart to show how it works.

=== The endpoint ===

<code>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php</code>

This is the ''endpoint''. It's like the home page of the Mediawiki web service API. This URL is the base URL for English Wikipedia's API, just as <code>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/</code> is the base URL for its web site.

If you're writing a program to use English Wikipedia, every URL you construct will begin with this base URL. If you're using a different MediaWiki installation, you'll need to find its endpoint and use that instead. All [[Wikimedia]] wikis have endpoints that follow this pattern:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php # English Wikipedia API
http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/api.php # Dutch Wikipedia API
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php # Wikimedia Commons API

Now let's move on to the parameters in the query string of the URL.

=== The format ===

<code>format=xml</code>

This tells the Wikimedia web service API that we want data to be returned in XML format. The API supports many [[API:Data_formats|output formats]], including [[w:JSON|JSON]], [[w:WDDX|WDDX]], [[w:XML|XML]], [[w:YAML|YAML]] and [http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php PHP's native serialization format].

=== The action ===

<code>action=query</code>

This is the 'action'. The MediaWiki web service API supports over fifty actions, and they're all documented in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php API reference]. In this case, we're using "query" to tell the API that we want to get some data.

The "query" action is one of the API's most important actions, and it has [[API:Query|extensive documentation of its own]]. What follows is just an explanation of a single example.

=== Action-specific parameters ===

<code>titles=Main%20Page</code>

The rest of the example URL contains parameters used by the "query" action. Here, we're telling the web service API that we want information about the Wiki page called "Main Page". (The %20 comes from [[w:Percent-encoding|percent-encoding]] a space.) You can ask for more than one page at a time: see the [[API:Query|query documentation]] for details.

<code>prop=revisions</code>

This parameter tells the web service API that we are interested in a particular revision of the page. Since we're not specifying any revision information, the API will give us information about the latest revision--the main page of Wikipedia as it stands right now.

<code>rvprop=content</code>

Finally, this parameter tells the web service API that we want the content of the latest revision of the page. If we passed in <code>rvprop=content|user</code> instead, we'd get the latest page content ''and'' the name of the user who made the most recent revision.

Again, this is just one example. Queries are explained in more detail [[API:Query|here]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php the API reference] lists all the possible actions, all the possible values for <code>rvprop</code>, and so on.

[[File:The MediaWiki Web API and How to use it - San Francisco Wikipedia Hackathon 2012.ogv|thumb|400px|An introduction to the API by [[User:Catrope|Roan Kattouw]] at the [[San Francisco Hackathon January 2012]]]]
== Getting started ==

Before you start using the MediaWiki web service API, be sure to read these documents:

* The [[API:FAQ|FAQ]].
* The page about [[API:Data formats|input and output formats]]
* The page about [[API:Errors and warnings|errors and warnings]]
* Any policies that apply to the wiki you want to access, such as (for Wikimedia Foundation wikis) our [[wmf:Terms of Use|terms of use]]. These terms apply to you when you access or edit using the web service API, just as they do when you use your web browser.

Beyond that point, what you need to read depends on what you want to do. The right-hand menu links to detailed, task-specific documentation, and some more general guidelines are given below.

== Identifying your client ==

When you make HTTP requests to the MediaWiki web service API, be sure to specify a <code>User-Agent</code> header that properly identifies your client. Don't use the default <code>User-Agent</code> provided by your client library, but make up a custom header that includes the name and the version number of your client: something like "MyCuteBot/0.1".

On Wikimedia wikis, if you don't supply a <code>User-Agent</code> header, or you supply an empty or generic one, your request will fail with an HTTP 403 error. See [[meta:User-Agent policy|our User-Agent policy]]. Other MediaWiki installations may have similar policies.

If you are calling the API from browser-based JavaScript, you won't be able to influence the <code>User-Agent</code> header: the browser will use its own. There is currently no other mechanism for a browser-based client to identify itself.

== Logging in ==

Your client will probably need to log in to MediaWiki, possibly via its own user account. See [[API:Login|the login manual page]] for details.

== Making your requests cacheable ==

If your requests obtain data that can be cached for a while, you should take steps to cache it, so you don't request the same data over and over again. Some clients may be able to cache data themselves, but for others (particularly JavaScript clients), this is not possible.

Per the HTTP specification, POST requests cannot be cached. Therefore, whenever you're reading data from the web service API, you should use GET requests, not POST.

Also note that a request cannot be served from cache unless the URL is '''exactly the same'''. If you make a request for <code>api.php?....titles=Foo|Bar|Hello</code>, and cache the result, then a request for <code>api.php?....titles=Hello|Bar|Hello|Foo</code> will not go through the cache--even though MediaWiki returns the same data!

You should take care to normalize the URLs you send to the MediaWiki web service, so that slightly different user input won't cause you to waste time on unnecessary HTTP requests. You can normalize a list of page titles by '''removing duplicates''' and '''sorting the titles alphabetically'''. Similar techniques will work for other kinds of data.

== Useful links ==

The menu bar on the right side of this page links to more detailed, task-specific documentation. Here are some links having to do with the API as a whole:

Help:Namespaces

2012-02-13T23:39:12Z

MrBlueSky: Undo revision 498961 by 198.228.195.214 (talk)

{{PD Help Page}}
Pages on a MediaWiki wiki are grouped into collections called "'''namespaces'''", which differentiate between the purpose of the pages at a high level. Pages in certain namespaces can also have special properties or behave differently when they interact with other pages.

Namespaces are indicated in page titles by prefixing the page name with "<tt>namespace:</tt>", so the prefix "<tt>{{NAMESPACE}}:</tt>" in this page's title ("{{FULLPAGENAME}}") indicates that this page is in the {{NAMESPACE}} namespace. Note, however, that colons and prefixes can also appear in page titles ''without'' indicating a namespace: The page [[Foo:{{PAGENAME}}]] is a page located in the [[#0: (Main)|mainspace]] because the namespace "Foo" does not exist. Similarly the page [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Foo:{{PAGENAME}}]] is in the "{{NAMESPACE}}" namespace.

==Standard namespaces==

The standard MediaWiki installation has sixteen namespaces which can contain user-generated content; there are also two special namespaces which contain pages created 'on the fly' by the MediaWiki software. The standard namespaces are organised in pairs, with each pair containing a 'subject namespace' and a 'discussion namespace'. The namespaces are numbered from zero such that all subject namespaces have even indices, and all talk namespaces have odd indices.

===={{ns:-2}}====

This namespace is an alias used for direct linking to media files: the link [[{{ns:-2}}:Wiki.png]] links to just the image rather than the image description page, which would be [[:{{ns:6}}:Wiki.png]].

===={{ns:-1}}====

This namespace is used to group [[Help:Special pages|special pages]], reports and interfaces that are generated 'on demand' by MediaWiki and which are not directly editable. It is not possible to create pages in this namespace except by modifying or extending the MediaWiki software.

====(Main)====

The 'namespace that has no prefix separated by a colon. Commonly called the "main namespace" or "mainspace". This namespace typically contains the bulk of the {{mediawiki|$wgContentNamespaces|content pages}} in a wiki. This namespace generally has no special properties.

===={{ns:1}}====

The "Talk" namespace is the discussion namespace attached to the mainspace. It has no special properties.

===={{ns:2}}====

Each user has a corresponding page in the {{ns:2}} namespace, which is linked to from edit histories, watchlists, recent changes, etc; wherever an individual user is uniquely identified. This page, and subpages of it, can be used by users to record information about themselves or to test and draft new content. Pages of the form "<tt style="whitespace:nowrap">{{ns:2}}:''UserName''/Foo'''.js'''</tt>" or "<tt style="whitespace:nowrap">{{ns:2}}:''UserName''/Foo'''.css'''</tt>" can only be edited by the user themselves or by [[Help:Sysops and permissions|administrators]].

===={{ns:3}}====

This namespace is the talkspace associated with the {{ns:2}} namespace. Pages in this namespace are mainly used to leave messages for particular users or inform them of discussions that may be of interest to them. To facilitate this, when a page [[{{ns:3}}:UserName]] is edited, whenever the user 'UserName' loads a page, a notice is displayed at the top of the page informing them of the edit:
<div class="usermessage plainlinks">You have [[{{ns:3}}:UserName|{{MediaWiki:newmessageslink}}]] ([{{fullurl:{{ns:3}}:UserName&diff=cur}} {{MediaWiki:newmessagesdifflink}}]).</div>

This notice continues to appear until the user loads their user talk page to read the message.

===={{ns:4}}====

This namespace is normally used for meta-discussions related to the operation and development of the wiki. It has no special properties.

===={{ns:5}}====

This is a talk namespace that is normally used for discussions related to the associated subject pages. It has no special properties.

===={{ns:6}}====
[[Image:Wiki.png|right]]
The {{ns:6}} namespace is used to store metadata for images, videos, sound files and other media accessed via the {{ns:-2}} namespace. Each file has a corresponding page in the {{ns:6}} namespace which is often used to hold licensing data. Linking ''directly'' to a page in this namespace instead includes the media file inline in the page: <tt style="white-space:nowrap"><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:6}}<nowiki>:Wiki.png|right]]</nowiki></tt> produces the image to the right. See [[Help:Images]] for more details of this link syntax. To create an [[Help:Links|internal link]] to the file page, you need to add a colon to the front of the namespace: <tt style="white-space:nowrap"><nowiki>[[:</nowiki>{{ns:6}}<nowiki>:Wiki.png|right]]</nowiki></tt> produces [[:{{ns:6}}:Wiki.png]].
The standard MediaWiki installation has alias "Image" for {{ns:6}} namespace - See [[Help:Namespaces#Namespace aliases|Namespace aliases]].

===={{ns:7}}====

This is a talk namespace that is normally used for discussions related to the associated media files. It has no special properties.

===={{ns:8}}====

The MediaWiki namespace is used to hold system messages and other important content. For instance, the page [[{{ns:8}}:Edit]] (or [[{{ns:8}}:Vector-view-edit]] in the default "Vector" skin) contains the text that fills the "{{MediaWiki:Edit}}" tab at the top of every page. If that page exists, it overrides the default content, which is "edit this page". Similarly, [[{{ns:8}}:Common.css]] is the system message which holds the [[wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] code that is loaded for all users for each page. It has the special property that the entire namespace is fully protected and can only be edited by administrators.

===={{ns:9}}====

This is a talk namespace that is normally used for discussions related to the associated system messages. It has no special properties.

===={{ns:10}}====

The {{ns:10}} namespace is used to hold [[Help:Templates|templates]], blocks of text or wikicode that are intended to be transcluded into several other pages. To facilitate this it has the special property that it is the ''default'' namespace for transclusions: the wikicode <tt style="white-space:nowrap"><nowiki>{{Foo}}</nowiki></tt> is equivalent to <tt style="white-space:nowrap"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''{{ns:10}}:'''<nowiki>Foo}}</nowiki></tt>.

===={{ns:11}}====

This is a talk namespace that is normally used for discussions related to the associated template pages. It has no special properties.

===={{ns:12}}====

The {{ns:12}} namespace is usually used to hold help files, instructions and 'how-to' guides. It has no special properties.

====13: {{ns:13}}====

This is a talk namespace that is normally used for discussions related to the associated help pages. It has no special properties.

===={{ns:14}}====

The {{ns:14}} namespace contains [[Help:Categories|categories]], dynamic lists of other pages. To facilitate this, linking ''directly'' to a category page does not output an inline link, but instead includes the page into the associated category page. So the code <tt style="white-space:nowrap"><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:14}}<nowiki>:Help]]</nowiki></tt> causes a category link to appear at the bottom of the page (at the bottom in the box marked "{{MediaWiki:Pagecategories}}"). Clicking on that link takes you to the category page, where this page is visible in the category list. To create an inline link to a category page, you need to add a colon to the front of the namespace: <tt style="white-space:nowrap"><nowiki>[[:</nowiki>{{ns:14}}<nowiki>:Help]]</nowiki></tt> produces [[:{{ns:14}}:Help]]. See [[Help:Categories]] for more details on category link syntax.

===={{ns:15}}====

This is a talk namespace that is normally used for discussions related to the associated category pages. It has no special properties.

==Localisation==
Namespace names and aliases can be localized in TranslateWiki.net, using the special page [[translatewiki:Special:AdvancedTranslate|AdvancedTranslate]]. To get started, visit [[translatewiki:Special:FirstSteps]].

===Renaming namespaces===
{| class="wikitable" width=0 style=float:right
|-
!{{hl2}}|Canonical name
!{{hl2}}|Localized name
|-
| Media || {{ns:-2}}
|-
| Special || {{ns:-1}}

|}

Namespace names can be translated into languages other than English and individual namespaces can be renamed, as set by a wiki's system admins. These names are known as the 'localized' namespace names. However, all namespaces have a 'canonical name', the original English name which will work on any installation of MediaWiki. So linking to [[User:Foo]] will always locate the user page for the user foo, whether the wiki is in French (where the localized name would be [[:Utilisateur:Foo]]), Russian ([[:Участник:Foo]]), or Hindi ([[:सदस्य:Foo]]). The canonical namespace names are given in the table to the right along with their localized names on this wiki.

===Namespace aliases===
On some wikis there are also namespace ''aliases'': alternative names that will also be resolved to the localised names. For instance, a wiki might define "T" as an alias for {{ns:10}}, such that typing [[T:Foo]] is equivalent to [[{{ns:10}}:Foo]], saving a few characters and seconds. An actual example would be on the [[wikipedia:|English Wikipedia]], where "WP" is an alias for {{ns:4}}, which is the namespace "Wikipedia". By default, "Image" is an alias for {{ns:6}}, so <tt style="white-space:nowrap;"><nowiki>[[Image:Wiki.png]]</nowiki></tt> is equivalent to <tt style="white-space:nowrap;"><nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{ns:6}}<nowiki>:Wiki.png]]</nowiki></tt>.

===Custom namespaces===

:''See {{mediawiki|Manual:Using custom namespaces}} for more information''.

Some wikis may wish to organise their content in ways that do not fit into this standard set of namespaces. A wiki may define additional namespaces to facilitate this; these namespaces behave exactly like normal namespaces, and generally have indices greater than or equal to 100. These custom namespaces generally have no special properties.

==Identifying namespaces==

There are a number of ways by which the namespace of a particular page can be identified:

;Magic words

The [[Help:Magic word|magic word]] <tt><nowiki>{{NAMESPACE}}</nowiki></tt> returns the value of the namespace the page is in.

;JavaScript

The JavaScript variable <tt>wgCanonicalNamespace</tt> contains the full namespace name. The variable <tt>wgNamespaceNumber</tt> contains the numerical index of the namespace.

;CSS

The <tt><nowiki><body></nowiki></tt> tag of the HTML page output is given two CSS classes that vary by namespace: A class <tt>ns-#</tt>, where # is the index of the namespace, and <tt>ns-XXX</tt>, where XXX is "<tt>subject</tt>" for all {{mediawiki|Manual:Namespace#Subject and talk namespaces|subject namespaces}}, "<tt>special</tt>" for pages in the {{ns:-1}} namespace, and "<tt>talk</tt>" for {{mediawiki|Manual:Namespace#Subject and talk namespaces|talk namespaces}}. So CSS code such as the following can be used to change the appearance of an object based on its namespace:
<source lang=css>
.ns-subject a
{ /* Almost all links on subject pages to be green. */
color: #00FF00;
}
.ns-talk a
{ /* Links on talk pages to be blue. */
color: #0000FF;
}
.ns-3 a
{ /* and links on user talk pages to be red */
color: #FF0000;
}

{{MW file|load.php|/}}

'''load.php''' is a script for the front-end to hook into for loading [[ResourceLoader]] modules.

== Details ==
First it checks the PHP version, which must be 5.2.3. or higher, and it includes [[Manual:WebStart.php|WebStart.php]]. Next, it creates a [http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/classResourceLoader.html <code>ResourceLoader</code> object] and calls its <code>respond()</code> method, which outputs the specified resource content, including a content-type header.

'''GraphViz''' is a MediaWiki extension that lets you create and display graphs as inline images on wiki pages, using the open-source Graphviz and Mscgen applications:
* [[w:Graphviz|Graphviz]] is a program that allows the creation of numerous types of graphs, using the [[w:DOT language|DOT]] language.
* [[w:Mscgen|Mscgen]] is a small program that parses [[w:Message Sequence Chart|Message Sequence Chart]] descriptions. Unlike Graphviz, this program does no clever layout operations or spline routing, as this is not needed.

Automatic graph drawing has many important applications in software engineering, database and web design, networking, and in visual interfaces for many other domains.

Additionally, this extension supports multiple graphs on one page, wiki-links in graphs, and automatic pruning of old images.

== Contributions and history ==
* In 2004 the user [[meta:User:Coffman|Coffman]] created an extension to MediaWiki in response to a basic need: rendering graphs online. He found the utility Graphviz in use on another wiki application, and thought about adapting it for MediaWiki (the wiki he actually used). Exploring the Graphviz tool, he discovered an incredible tool for making graphs.
* Later on, many people improved the extension on their own or provided little bug fixes as snippets on the discussion page. This led to several functional solutions for different use cases, and to a bit of chaos.
* In 2006 Gregory Szorc independently created [http://web.archive.org/web/20071217001132/http://opensource.case.edu/svn/MediaWikiHacks/extensions/Graphviz/trunk/Graphviz.php his own GraphViz extension], this one called "Graphviz" (small "v"), that included some helpful features like autopruning.
* Also in 2006, Ruud Schramp created the [[Extension:MscGen|MscGen]] extension, adapting the code from the GraphViz extension to work with MscGen.
* In 2008 Matthew Pearson created the extension [[Extension:GraphVizAndMSCGen|GraphVizAndMSCGen]], combining the code from the GraphViz with the [[Extension:MscGen|MscGen]] extension.
* In 2010 [[User:hummel-riegel|Thomas Hummel]] merged these and other versions, along with his own fixes, to try to create a working solution for several OSes in one file.
* In 2011 [[User:Jeroen De Dauw|Jeroen De Dauw]] uploaded the resulting code onto [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/GraphViz/ MediaWiki SVN].

== Install Instructions ==
=== Graphviz ===
# First, you need at least one of the external tools "Graphviz" or "MscGen" that renders your graph.
## Windows: Get your copy here: http://www.graphviz.org/Download.php or here http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/
## Unix: Same links as for windows but normally it should be preinstalled (at least graphviz - search for dot) or can be found in the package manager.
## Ubuntu/Debian: sudo aptitude install graphviz-dev
# Then obtain the Graphviz extension code [[Special:ExtensionDistributor/GraphViz|by downloading a snapshot]] or [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/GraphViz/ getting it from SVN], and then put it in your MediaWiki "/extensions/GraphViz" directory.
## Ubuntu 10.10 comes with an earlier version of the GraphViz extension pre-installed - this is a very old version, though, so you'd be better off replacing it.
# Add these lines to [[Manual:LocalSettings.php|LocalSettings.php]]: 
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
include("extensions/GraphViz/GraphViz.php"); //includes the extension 
$wgGraphVizSettings->execPath = "/path/to/graphviz/"; //Path to the Graphviz Installation
</syntaxhighlight>
:'''''Windows Default''': "C:/Program Files/Graphviz/bin/" (without dot.exe) or "C:\\Program Files\\Graphviz\\bin\\"'' 
:'''''Other Platform''' : "/usr/bin/" or "/usr/local/bin/" (where the dot binary is)''

* Make sure that write permissions for the "$IP/images" directory are granted.
* Make sure that internet users get read/execute access on your executables if you use server installations. (Especially under Windows.)

=== MscGen ===
The same procedure as with Graphviz - the path to MscGen has to be provided in LocalSettings.php:
<source lang="php">$wgGraphVizSettings->mscgenPath = "/usr/bin/";</source>

=== Differences from previous versions ===
* The variable $dotCommand that points only to the dot executable is replaced (like in [[Extension:GraphVizAndMSCGen]]) with $execPath and $mscgenPath that let you choose between several renderers.

== Configuration ==
There are some additional configuration parameters that help you to define a basic behaviour of the extension. If you don't use these parameters they contain a default value that leads to a (hopefully) good usage of the extension.
For each parameter add the line <code>$wgGraphVizSettings->''ParameterName''</code> in your LocalSettings.php after the <code>include("extensions/Graphviz.php");</code>-line.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Parameter !! Default Value !! Values !! Description
|-
| execPath || "C:/Program Files/ATT/Graphviz/bin/" || || (Windows) Path to the GraphViz executables with the dot.exe, circo.exe, fpdp.exe, neato.exe, twopi.exe
|-
| execPath || "/usr/bin/dot" || ||(Unix/linux) Path to the Graphviz executables (mainly it points to /usr/bin/ or to /usr/local/bin/) or you use $DOT_PATH
|-
| mscgenPath || -none- || ||Path to the MscGen-Installation
|-
| outputType || png || see [[#Renderers]] ||Which image format do you want to produce?
|-
| imageFormatting || true || true, false || Do you want to define position, border or thumb for the image (not fully supported see [[#Formatting|here]])
|-
| named || named || named, md5, sha1 || How are the images and imagemaps named on your drive? (see [[#Naming of the Images]])
|-
| info || false || true, false ||Adds information about the parameters given, e.g. renderers used, for use on the wiki-page. Probably most useful for debugging.
|-
| install || false || true, false || Gets you an errormessage if something fails, but maybe ruins your wiki's look. This message is in English, always. (not well implemented actually)
|-
| pruneEnabled || false || true, false || Do you want an automated pruning procedure each time you render a new graph?
|-
| pruneStrategy || filenumber || filenumber, filesize || Do you want to prune if there are too many files or if they need too much disc space
|-
| pruneAmount || 10000 || positive number || Defines the maximum files/filesize you accept for pruneStrategy
|-
| pruneValue || 0.5 || 0< number <=1 || Defines how many files are being pruned (0.5 = 50%)
|-
|}
You don't need to set these values if everything works fine for you. They are used in the LocalSettings.php only for the default behaviour of all graphs in this wiki. Some parameters can be set for each individual graph (see [[#Renderer]] or [[#Image-Types]]).

=== Naming of the Images ===
There are several ways to name the graphs. Each of them has some benefits and some problems. You set the Naming-Scheme by setting $wgGraphVizSettings->named in the LocalSettings.php (See [[#Configuration]]).

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Naming Type !! Description !! Pros/Cons !! Example
|-
| named || The storagename is the name of the wikipage and the name of the graph || + human readable + no cleanup necessary - two graphs need separate names || Graphviz_Sample---digraph+NAME.png
|-
| md5 || name of your graph is based on a md5 hash of its source || + don't worry about graphnames + pretty fast hash - permanent cleanup necesary (manually or scripted) md5 is buggy - possibility that 2 graphs have the same hash but are not the same|| Graphviz_Sample---0a1e0c6bb9c6d3af6486d8f3de657f0f.png
|-
| sha1 || name of your graph is based on a SHA1 hash of its source || + don't worry about graphnames + no hash-bug as md5 - permanent cleanup necessary (manually or scripted) - not so fast as md5 || Graphviz_Sample---a3862ef7e7f889778f0259657b07ba985197ef88.png
|-
|}

== Drawing Graphs ==
Basically you only need to write your Graph in the [[w:DOT language|dot language]] (or any other supported language) and put it into <code><graphviz>dot-commands</graphviz></code> or <code><mscgen>mscgen-commands</mscgen></code>. 
See the [[#Examples]] for some basic graphs - you don't even need the "border" or "frame"-tags.

=== Mscgen ===
Keep in mind that mscgen uses a language _similar_ to dot but it isn't really dot. So you have to write your own code for graphviz and mscgen to display the same graph. (Furthermore the goals of graphviz and mscgen are not the same)

Another limitation when using Mscgen is that you can't use multiple graphs on one page (if you don't use hashed storage-names).

=== Multiple Graphs ===
This extension supports multiple graphs on one wiki page.

If you name the pictures by the graph names (named='named'), you just have to give the graphs different names. That means that the following two graphs can be put together on on page.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! First Graph !! Second Graph
|-
|<code><nowiki><graphviz></nowiki> 
graph NAME <nowiki>{</nowiki>... 
<nowiki>}</nowiki> 
<nowiki></graphviz></nowiki> 
</code>
||
<code>
<nowiki><graphviz></nowiki> 
graph ANOTHERNAME {... 
} 
<nowiki></graphviz></nowiki> 
</code>
|-
|}

This doesn't work for Mscgen graphs, because custom names aren't supported. But you can put one Mscgen graph and multiple Graphviz graphs on one page.

If your pictures are named with md5- or sha1-hashes then you can have multiple graphs of each type (Graphviz and/or Mscgen) on your page. Keep in mind that you should clean up your image-directory from time to time, because the hash changes when the code has been modified. (See [[#Naming of the images]])

=== Wiki-links ===
In dot you can define an URL for each node. This is normally done before defining the graph. See [[#Example3]] for an example with Wiki-links.

In case you need an external URL, write:
:<code>Mollusca [URL="http://www.mollusca.animal"];</code>

And for an internal link in your wiki, write:
:<code>Mollusca [URL="Mollusca"];</code>

That's all.

=== Wiki styling ===
In case you want to put some kind of structure into your page you can use some image attributes as for any other image (in the style of regular MediaWiki syntax), like here: [[w:Extended_image_syntax]]).

The attributes are used like HTML attributes (e.g. <code><graphviz caption="Hello World">...dot...</graphviz></code>).

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Attribute !! Description !! Value
|-
| caption || Adds a caption to the graph (if bordered or thumbed) || some string
|-
| alt || Alternative text for graph (if not set caption is used and at least a default string) || some string
|-
| border || Adds a border around the graph || frame, border
|-
| location || Defines the position of the graph || left, middle, center, right, none
|-
| alignment || Vertical alignment to the text || baseline, middle, sub, super, text-top, text-bottom, top, bottom
|-
| type || Several changes in design || frame, framed, thumb, thumbmail, frameless
|-
|}

Please bear in mind that these features are not fully identical to MediaWiki's image attributes.
Differences/inconsistences are:
* In case of thumbed images the image-map isn't scaled down, so it won't fit anymore
* In case of thumbed images, they do not link to an image-page with a further description of the license and the picture in a higher resolution - we only add a (+)-sign to the caption with the direct link to the image.
* a framed and centered image will have a border with a width of 100%

'''Alternative:''' You could link to your images directly if you want to. So you could put the graph into <code><nowiki><div style="visibility:none;"><graphviz>...</graphviz></div></nowiki></code> and put the image of the graph anywhere into your page (or in any other page) via the "img" tag.
* If you use the named='named'-setting the graph names won't change and can be used easily.
* You have to allow linking to external images (since the images are not in the db) (and you can restrict it to your domain for security)
* you cannot use imagemaps that easily

=== Renderer ===
This extension can handle two applications for graph-drawing: Graphviz and Mscgen.
Graphviz comes with several rendering engines and Mscgen has its own. For Graphviz, different renderers are ideal depending on the use case. More information on the renderers for each application can be found on their respective websites.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Renderer !! Description
|-
| dot || typical hierachical layout with a "start" and an "end"
|-
| neato || "spring model" layout
|-
| fdp || like neato but better for larger graphs
|-
| sfdp || fdp multiscale version
|-
| circo || circular layout like for telecommunication networks
|-
| twopi || radial layout with "start" in the middle
|-
| mscgen || message sequence charts
|-
|}

You can define a renderer as the default (see [[#Configuration]]), or set it in an individual graph with an attribute (-> <code><graphviz renderer='neato'>...dot...</graphviz></code>).

=== Image types ===
Graphviz and Mscgen can produce a huge amount of different image types (see more on their websites). The GraphViz extension supports only some of them:
* Graphviz: bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, svg, svgz
* Mscgen: png, svg
'''Note:''' To display vector-graphics you have to configure your wiki installation properly (-> [[SVG]])

You can define an image type as default (-> [[#Configuration]]) or add it to the individual graph with an attribute (-> <code><graphviz outputType='jpg'>...dot...</graphviz></code>).

== Examples ==
For a start you can try these Examples:

'''Example 1'''
[[Image:Graphviz_Example1.png|thumb|"Hello World" graph for example no. 1]]
<code>
<graphviz border='frame' format='png'>
digraph example1 {Hello->World!}
</graphviz>
</code>

'''Example 2'''
[[Image:Graphviz_Example2.png|thumb|Example No. 2 rendered with neato]]
<code>
<graphviz renderer='neato' caption='Hello Neato'>
graph EXAMPLE2 {
run -- intr;
intr -- runbl;
runbl -- run;
run -- kernel;
kernel -- zombie;
kernel -- sleep;
kernel -- runmem;
sleep -- swap;
swap -- runswap;
runswap -- new;
runswap -- runmem;
new -- runmem;
sleep -- runmem;
}
</graphviz>
</code>

'''Example 3'''
[[Image:Graphviz_Example3.png|thumb|A more complex graph as defined by Example No. 3 (original imagemap contains (Wiki-)Links)]]
<code>
<graphviz caption='Hello SVG and PNG' alt='phylogenetic tree' format='png'>
digraph G {
node [shape=plaintext];
Mollusca [URL="Mollusca"];
Neomeniomorpha [URL="Neomeniomorpha"];
X1 [shape=point,label=""];

== Pruning ==
Each time we create a new graph we're going to check the Image-Path for pruning. There are several options on how to prune. Configure pruning with the adequate parameters in LocalSettings.php (see [[#Configuration]]).

With the default settings you don't need any pruning, because each graph is saved accoring to its name. If you update the Graph the image-file will be replaced so there will be no unnecessary file. Reasons for pruning can be: limited storage space for images, renamed or removed graphs, graphs named with a hash.

However the best solution for pruning would be to clean up the images manually from time to time, or do it automatically with a cronjob. This saves much CPU load.

== Development ==
Since I'm not a very experienced developer it would be nice if some "experts" could review the code or improve it on some edges. 
I'm also happy if you'd notify me about bugs or problems you have (e.g. on the Discussion page).

=== Important points ===
* Check for Security Leaks
** especially there has been mentioned: This [former] plugin does not properly sanitize user input when generating the "named" version of the files. This can lead to clobbered files and/or more serious vulnerabilities. --[[m:User:Andy753421|Andy753421]] 04:54, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
** See [[Security for developers]] for specific types of vulnerabilities
* Sometimes there is an error of preg_replace: "Unknown modifier '\' on line 434" - I can't find the mistake.
** '''NOTE''': You need to change the string <code>'/(\w+)\s([_:%#/\w]+)\s(\d+,\d+)\s(\d+,\d+)/'</code> by <code>'/(\w+)\s([_:%#\/\w]+)\s(\d+,\d+)\s(\d+,\d+)/'</code> to correct this error

=== Things that should be done ===
* What to do with graphs that are too large? e.g. for the GET-request? Maybe some attribute in the <graphviz>-Tag that this is partial code and that it waits? Or at least shortening some commands, links, ...?
* using popen()/proc_open() instead of shell_exec() for php save-mode if possible

=== Nice to have features ===
* add uploadDir to variables
* On my local installation a graph is rerendered very often (each hour or so) even if nothing has changed on the page. (Is this only my fault?)
** Can we reduce CPU load by preventing Graphviz from creating a new image if the page hasn't changed?
** Can I then prune all images that are older than an hour? Or do proper installations use a cache that maybe lasts a week or so?
* Error when setting $wgGraphVizSettings->install=true on ubuntu.
* Generate Graphs without extra tools (directly in the browser): Canvas?, [http://www.sweeting.org/mark/blog/2005/07/12/base64-encoded-images-embedded-in-html Base 64 Encoding] see [[Extension_talk:GraphViz#Do away with serverfiles| also]], [[Extension:Graph]], ...
* custom shapes for nodes in Graphviz aren't supported yet (http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation/html/shapehowto.html)
* improve pruning
** save pruning settings (maybe settings-file in graphviz-folder or images folder, because of write access?)
*** don't prune for each graph but only check date of last pruning
** remove files older than some date
* use the image formatting with wiki syntax with the help of MW-Renderer, so that it doesn't stay hardcoded
* put the generated graphs into the wiki-database, so that they can be handled like normal pictures

== Alternatives ==
If you don't like this extension there are some others that I find remarkable (although I tried to put the main functionality of all of them into this extension - so thank them for their ideas also).
* The [http://web.archive.org/web/20071217001132/http://opensource.case.edu/svn/MediaWikiHacks/extensions/Graphviz/trunk/Graphviz.php Extension by Gregory Szorc] is absolutely well coded and supports auto-pruning.
* [[User_talk:hummel-riegel#GraphViz-Version by Bytesmiths|GraphViz-Version by Bytesmiths]]
* [[Extension:Graph]] This Extension lets you draw ASCII-Art, SVG, and Graphviz-Images without(?) the use of the Graphviz-Tool
* [[Extension:FreeMind]] uses the FreeMind-Tool to draw graphs
* [[Extension:Semantic_Graph]] also uses the FreeMind-Tool to draw (as an alternative to the [[#Projects based on this extension]]
* [[Extension:GraphVizAndMSCGen]] built upon the old graphviz-source

== Projects that rely on this extension ==
* The "Semantic Result Formats" extension is used in conjunction with the Semantic MediaWiki extension, that bundles a number of further result formats for SMW's inline queries.
** [[Extension:Semantic Result Formats/graph_format]] (displays connections between pages (as graph)
** [[Extension:Semantic Result Formats/process_format]] (displays process graphs)
* [[Extension:Collaboration_Diagram]] (renders and visualizes a bipartite graph of any article and its editors)
