Bug#1146244: mediawiki: Add an `update-LocalSettings.php` script
by Andrew Sayers 30 Aug '26

30 Aug '26

Package: mediawiki Severity: wishlist MediaWiki only supports reading configuration from LocalSettings.php, which causes problems for a lot of use cases. For example: * small local servers would expect `apt install mediawiki-extension-foo` to add the appropriate configuration for their wiki * larger servers (like Debian's own upcoming MW instance) might like to have a public config file in a repo and a private file with passwords etc. It seems like upstream isn't interested in these use cases, so it makes sense to create a Debian update script in the spirit of `update-exim4.conf` that manages a configuration directory. Development work on the new wiki has benefitted from a proof-of-concept implementation of this idea[0][1] - if you're interested, I'd be happy to put together a more production-ready version that e.g. doesn't hose the old version of the file (plus any other requirements).

Plantage 1:1.39.17-1+deb12u2 vers 1:1.43.9+dfsg-1~deb13u1
by Francois Sauterey 22 Aug '26

22 Aug '26

Bonjour, profitant du passage de debian 12 à debian 13, mon wiki est passé de 1:1.39.17-1+deb12u2 à 1:1.43.9+dfsg-1~deb13u1. Résultat : le joli message d'erreur suivant "Il n’y a pour l’instant aucun texte sur cette page. Vous pouvez lancer une recherche sur ce titre dans les autres pages, rechercher dans les journaux associés ou créer cette page." J'ai déplacé mon wiki sur une machine encore en Debian 12, et hop, les pages reviennent. Qu'ai-je raté ? ========== English (from deepl) ========== Hello, As part of the upgrade from Debian 12 to Debian 13, my wiki changed from 1:1.39.17-1+deb12u2 to 1:1.43.9+dfsg-1~deb13u1. The result: the following charming error message: "There is currently no text on this page. You can search for this title on other pages, search the associated logs, or create this page." I moved my wiki to a machine still running Debian 12, and presto, the pages are back. What did I miss? -- Cordialement, // Best regards Francois Sauterey Tél: 06 89 12 62 71

Bug#1144669: RFP: mediawiki-extension-universallanguageselector -- Help MediaWiki users configure their language settings
by Andrew Sayers 17 Aug '26

17 Aug '26

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: MediaWiki packaging team <mediawiki-debian(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Debian wiki team <debian-wiki(a)lists.debian.org> * Package name : mediawiki-extension-universallanguageselector Version : 2026-02-25 Upstream Contact: Wikimedia Language team <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:UniversalLanguageSelector> * URL : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector * License : GNU General Public License 2.0 or later, MIT License Programming Lang: JavaScript, HTML, Vue, PHP, Less, CSS, Shell Description : Help MediaWiki users configure their language settings Adds three main pieces of functionality to a MediaWiki instance: * an interface to let a user choose a language * input methods for entering text in different languages (e.g. screen keyboards) * built-in fonts to display content in various languages I'm making this request on behalf of the wiki team. Debian's wiki is moving to MediaWiki, and includes content in many languages. Translation headers are currently maintained by hand on every page, so packaging this extension will let us create a better reader experience with less author legwork. The wiki migration should provide a good opportunity to test this package, and the wiki team will presumably be an ongoing conduit for feedback, but the MediaWiki packaging team should be the primary maintainers. Some relevant links: * https://lists.debian.org/debian-wiki/2026/08/msg00022.html * this package came up during a discussion on the wiki mailing list * https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=871594 * an ITP from 2017 was closed in 2022 * mainly due to inactivity, but the last comment mentions font licenses
