Recent parser change regarding tildes in comments?
by Thomas Dalton 17 Aug '25

17 Aug '25

Has the parser just been changed with regards to tildes (~~~~) inside HTML comments? It appears they used to be ignored, and are now suddenly being replaced en masse the next time someone edits the page (and can't be easily reverted - it just changes the sig to the reverter's instead). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2006-06-02-ear… for an example.

If you find any bugs please report them on Bugzilla[1] and make sure I am added as a CC so that we can fix any show-stoppers before the final release.

Kerberos support
by Jaap Winius 04 May '13

Hi folks, The users at my site keep forgetting their MediaWiki passwords often enough that I wonder: might it be possible to configure MediaWiki (not Apache) to authenticate them using Kerberos instead? Thanks, Jaap

Download links are given at the end of this email. * Jan Schejbal / Hatforce.com reported that SVG script filtering could be bypassed for Chrome and Firefox clients by using an encoding that MediaWiki understood, but these browsers interpreted as UTF-8. <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47304> * Internal review discovered that extensions were not given the opportunity to disable a password reset, which could lead to circumvention of two-factor authentication. <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46590> Full release notes for 1.20.5: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.20> Full release notes for 1.19.6: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.19> For information about how to upgrade, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading> ********************************************************************** 1.20.5 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-1.20.5.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.20.4), without interface text: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-1.20.5.patch.gz Interface text changes: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-i18n-1.20.5.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-1.20.5.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-1.20.5.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-i18n-1.20.5.patch.gz… Public keys: https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.html ********************************************************************** 1.19.6 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.6.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.19.5), without interface text: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.6.patch.gz Interface text changes: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-i18n-1.19.6.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.6.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.6.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-i18n-1.19.6.patch.gz… Public keys: https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.html

Who uses MobileFrontend?
by Max Semenik 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi, as one of WMF developers who work on MobileFrontend[1], I'd love to know how third parties use this extension. How does your caching works? How are you detecting mobile devices? Do you have any problems with running it? Finally, just tell us if you tried it at all:) ---- [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]])

MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle 2013.04 release
by Amir E. Aharoni 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hallo, I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki language extension bundle 2013.04 * https://translatewiki.net/mleb/MediaWikiLanguageExtensionBundle-2013.04.tar… * sha256sum: bd6aca60101308f429d90d421e35093328e7a05ea74d35c05a98474ab648dec4 Quick links: * Installation instructions are at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MLEB * Announcements of new releases will be posted to a mailing list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-i18n * Report bugs to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org * Talk with us at #mediawiki-i18n @ freenode Release notes for each extension are below. Amir E. Aharoni == Babel == Only localisation updates. == cldr == * Update CLDR to 23 and rewrite parser == CleanChanges == No changes. == LocalisationUpdate == No changes. == Translate == === Highlights === Work continued on stabilizing the new Translate UX (TUX) interface. Specifically, numerous fixes were made to make TUX work correctly in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The "message tools menu" was added to give easy access from the message translation interface to the history of the message and to translations in all languages (Special:Translations). Basic file format support was added for Xliff. Initial work was done to add support for sandboxing - allowing users to make several test translations before getting full translation permissions. This is an incomplete experimental feature and it is not active by default. === Noteworthy changes === * Removed the hide tab that appeared even though there were no more warnings. * Messages saying that there is nothing to proofread were clarified. * Show "Cancel" instead of "Skip" at the last message in the curent view. * Clicking a suggestion copies the suggestion to the translation field (previously, a user had to press a link, which was harder). * Simple paging for translation search results. * <tvar|> no longer visible on translation pages in source language (bug 46925) * The bottom toolbar is always shown, even without a scroll. * When a user modifies a translation, it is no longer proofreadable (bug 46687) * Numerous minor styling changes. * RTL fixes for Special:Magic, to ensure cleaner display of magic words in right-to-left translations. == UniversalLanguageSelector == === Highlights === Starting with this release, MLEB is no longer compatible with MediaWiki 1.19. To use MLEB 2013.04 or later, you must used it combined with MediWiki 1.20.4 or a later version. Work began on making the ULS appear in the sidebar rather than at the top of the page near the personal links menu. This is an incomplete and experimental feature. It can be tested by setting the variable $wgULSPosition to 'interlanguage'. === Noteworthy changes === * Wikimedia Foundation's GeoIP service is now used by default for detecting the user's location and guessing the suggested language. * A web font for the Divehi language was added. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Call for new list moderators
by Chad 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi everyone, As you may have remembered reading. Huib--our longtime volunteer moderator for mediawiki-l and wikitech-l--resigned from his positions back in February[0]. I let this slip longer than I should've, but I'd like to now make the call for a new batch of list moderators for mediawiki-l and wikitech-l. I think it's very important to have more than one moderator per list, so I'm looking for several candidates to help with moderation with one (or both) lists. It's a pretty low maintenance job (the occasional spammer), as Huib and myself have always had a very light-handed moderation policy and have preferred to let discussions run their course. So, if this is something you're interested in helping out with, please respond to this off-list and tell me why. Don't need an essay, just a sentence or two about who you are and why you'd like to volunteer. I'll give it a couple of days for people to think about it and e-mail me, and I'll pick some people by late next week. Thanks, and have a good weekend :) -Chad [0] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-February/066320.html

Fwd: "cancel" link while editing a wiki page with WYSIWYG activated leads to a 404 (index dot php disapears from the url)
by djioules 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Hi, Hope my question will fit on this list. I just upgraded my Mediawiki to 1.20.4. I encountered problems with FCKeditor, and I had to install WYSIWYG extension instead. I also had a couple of problems after installing this extension: - Editing an article with this extension delete any category associated with the article: solved with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/** Extension_talk:WYSIWYG#Editor_**removes_assigned_category_**16286<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:WYSIWYG#Editor_removes_assigne…> - When activating or using the extension while editing a wiki page, the "Cancel" link at the bottom of the edit frame returns a 404 (the /index.php/ is not present in the url... Can't find any fix for this second issue, anybody has any useful suggestion? Thanks a lot. Regards. Jules Mediawiki: 1.20.4 PHP 5.3.2 MySQL 5.1.67 WYSIWYG extension (version 1.5.6_0 [B551], CKEditor 3.6 (revision 6902))
