Recent parser change regarding tildes in comments?
by Thomas Dalton 16 Aug '25

16 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.

Link backups? Archive links (webcitation, archive.org) with an extension?
by adrelanos 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi, you know, links break after time... Thats why many wikis use services such as webcitation. Is there some non-experimental extension, which automatically creates backups of links using either webcitation, archive.org or similar services? Or some doing some other kind of backup, such as screenshot the page or storeing the page? (The ArchiveLinks extension [1] looks very well, serving exactly this purpose, but its really stresses, not to use in in production wiki.) Cheers, adrelanos [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ArchiveLinks

Upload file issues with mw1.21.1
by Philip Bellino 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hello, I apologize for posting this as I did post it earlier, but I am at a total loss as to what the problem may be, so I am pleading for help. I upgraded from 1.16 to 1.21 and then 1.21.1. Ever since upgrading from 1.16, I can no longer upload files. It is not a permission or ownership issue, as all directories/sub-directories/files all the way down through and including each parent directory "/var/www/html/wiki/images" have root as owner and group and everything is set for 777. Installed software Product Version MediaWiki<https://www.mediawiki.org/> 1.21.1 PHP<http://www.php.net/> 5.3.8 (apache2handler) MySQL<http://www.mysql.com/> 5.1.60 Entry point URLs Entry point URL Article path<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgArticlePath> /wiki/index.php/$1<http://192.168.56.63/wiki/index.php/$1> Script path<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgScriptPath> /wiki<http://192.168.56.63/wiki> index.php<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:index.php> /wiki/index.php<http://192.168.56.63/wiki/index.php> api.php<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:api.php> /wiki/api.php<http://192.168.56.63/wiki/api.php> load.php<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:load.php> /wiki/load.php<http://192.168.56.63/wiki/load.php> I either get "Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/5/54" or Internal error Jump to: navigation, search Error storing file in '/tmp/php78T3qA': Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-temp/4/4a".

Reuse of the Internet Archive djvu book reader in Commons
by David Cuenca 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

The Internet Archive developed a djvu book reader in html/javascript http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader It looks like this >> http://www.archive.org/stream/birdbookillustra00reedrich There are many websites that are using it, so I was wondering if we could use it in Commons too? Would it take much effort to adapt the server side? https://github.com/openlibrary/bookreader Cheers, Micru

Tapping into the Backbone
by Fred Bauder 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

"The GCHQ mass tapping operation has been built up over five years by attaching intercept probes to transatlantic fibre-optic cables where they land on British shores carrying data to western Europe from telephone exchanges and internet servers in north America. This was done under secret agreements with commercial companies, described in one document as "intercept partners"." http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secret-world-communica… Fred

Hi, I have set $wgHTTPProxy = "http://<our proxy>:80"; but it requires authentication. How can I set the username and password for such? I can find any doc on MediaWiki or the web that specifies how.

Upgrade fails
by Mickey Feldman 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

I am trying to update from 1.16.1 to 1.21.1 on a hosted site to which I do not have command line access. I have installed the 1.21.1 files, copied over my images directory, LocalSettings.php that was carefully tested on a local PC with updated extensions, etc. I ran the update on the local PC to uncover the extension issues, etc, and that worked fine. I have edited my .htaccess files to disable mod_rewrite so that I could navigate to the update script. I did not overwrite my 1.16.1 files, I made a new directory for the new files and renamed it to w after renaming my "w" to "w1.16.1" php Error reporting is set to E_ALL I set max_execution_time to 1200 !!!! When I run : mydoc_root/w/mw-config/index.php5 I get a totally empty page and the navigation bar says : mydoc_root/w/mw-config/index.php5?page=ExistingWiki But there is no sign that anything is happening. No error message, no progress bar, no clock, no hourglass, nada. If I hit 'Back' I can get a "do you want to restart your installation " screen, but this gets me no further.
