Seems you have a problem with php.ini configuration there. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

cleaning out a mass of unwanted users

by Boris Epstein

Hello everyone, I was careless enough to run a MediaWiki installation allowing people to sign up without a moderator's approval. Hence a few hundred of them did sign up and started to use the site to swap images. How can I delete their accounts in the most expeditious way? Thanks. Boris.

translatewiki.net ending localisation support for svn.wikimedia.org MediaWiki extensions

by Siebrand Mazeland

Dear all, Starting October 1, 2012, translatewiki.net will drop support for all MediaWiki extensions it currently supports that still remain in the Subversion repository svn.wikimedia.org. Many, if not all of the extensions that by that time have not been migrated to git/Gerrit, are clearly not that well maintained and we want to prevent our translators from spending their time on it. At the moment, a maximum of 273 extensions are affected. In case this message makes you wonder what git and Gerrit is all about, and how you can revive your precious extension, please see the following links: * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Tutorial * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Conversion/Extensions_queue Cheers! Siebrand

Characters displaying incorrectly

by Patricia Barden

Hello: When searching for the word cliché in my wiki, the search results return pages that have the word in it but it looks like clichÃ© instead of cliché. This is happening with other words and phrases that use characters like: single quotation mark, double quotation mark, apostrophe, en dash, em dash, accent acute, accent grave, tilde, umlaut, etc. What is the best way to fix this? I'm running: MediaWiki: 1.10.2 (r356) PHP: 5.2.17 (cgi) MySQL: 5.0.90-log Thanks, Patricia Barden

MediaWiki security release: 1.19.2 and 1.18.5

by Chris Steipp

I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.19.2 and 1.18.5. These releases fix 6 security related bugs that could affect users of MediaWiki. Download links are given at the end of this email. * Wikipedia administrator Writ Keeper discovered a stored XSS (HTML injection) vulnerability. This was possible due to the handling of link text on File: links for nonexistent files. MediaWiki 1.16 and later is affected. For more details, see <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39700> * User Fomafix reported several DOM-based XSS vulnerabilities, made possible by a combination of loose filtering of the uselang parameter, and JavaScript gadgets on various language Wikipedias. For more details, see <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37587> * During internal review, it was discovered that CSRF tokens, available via the api, were not protected with X-Frame-Options headers. This could lead to a CSRF vulnerability if the API response is embedded in an external website using an iframe. For more details, see <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39180> * During internal review, it was discovered extensions were not always allowed to prevent the account creation action. This allowed users blocked by the GlobalBlocking extension to create accounts. For more details, see <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39824> * During internal review, it was discovered that password data was always saved to the local MediaWiki database, even if authentication was handled by an extension, such as LDAP. This could allow a compromised MediaWiki installation to leak information about user's LDAP passwords. Additionally, in situations when an authentication plugin returned false in its strict function, this would allow old passwords to be used for accounts that did not exist in the external system, indefinitely. For details on how to clean up the data leakage, see: <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39184> * During internal review, it was discovered that metadata about blocks, hidden by a user with suppression rights, was visible to administrators. For more details, see <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39823> Full release notes for 1.19.2: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.19> Full release notes for 1.18.5: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.18> For information about how to upgrade, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading> ********************************************************************** 1.19.2 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.2.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.19.1): http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.2.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.2.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.2.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.html ********************************************************************** 1.18.5 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.18/mediawiki-1.18.5.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.18.4), without interface text: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.18/mediawiki-1.18.5.patch.gz Interface text changes: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.18/mediawiki-i18n-1.18.5.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.18/mediawiki-1.18.5.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.18/mediawiki-1.18.5.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.18/mediawiki-i18n-1.18.5.patch.gz… Public keys: https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.html
