HI folks,
I am indeed new to Mediawiki. I have played with MW these past two weeks
and am blown away by it's complexity and its incredibly beautiful
simplicity. For my own education I have install MW a number of times
including the stable release as well as the core.git. I am currently
running both versions on the server. I am running MW on Ubuntu 12.04
server. CLI only, no GUI desktop. It is running apache2/php5.3.10-Ubuntu
pkg / MySQL5.5.23 / Pecl and all the normal and require php5 modules.
Using memcaching as well. This is a physical server and not a VPS.
The issue I have had is the Lua engine popping an error on
Module:Authority_control script. I have turned on lua error logging and
tailing the log file produces nothing. Here's the back trace in the
script error from the page in question:
This is the code in the page that triggers the "script erro" message in the page.
{{Authority control|VIAF=40172183|LCCN=n/79/114053}}
Lua error in Module:Authority_control at line 179: attempt to index
field 'wikibase' (a nil value).
Backtrace:
(tail call): ?
Module:Authority_control:179:in function "chunk"
mw.lua:553: ?
(tail call): ?
[C]: in function "xpcall"
MWServer.lua:73: in function "handleCall"
MWServer.lua:266: in function "dispatch"
WServer.lua:33: in function "execute"
mw_main.lua:7: in main chunk
[C]: ?
I have installed Wikibase and run the update.php. Added the required
lines in Localsettings.php. Module:Authority control is installed.
I am sorta kinda at a loss as to where to look. If anyone could point me in
the right direction to research the error, I'd certainly be appreciative.

Kasper Souren contributed replicate_wiki.py to pywikipedia at the last
hackathon. It allows replicating a complete namespace from one central
wiki to multiple others - see [1].

Hi,
I have set-up a wiki at http://wiki.x2592.com and installed (among other
things) the MathJax extension
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MathJax). (I originally tried
with the Math extension, but did not manage to get it working, despite
the fact that all the prerequisites seem to be met.)
MathJax is displaying Tex-encoded equations OK, but not MathML-encoded
equations. The greater-than and less-than characters in MathML tags seem
to be being converted to the HTML entities &ls and >.
I'm working with a local git checkout of the MathJax package (although
the results were identical using their CDN-delivered version), and a
one-week-old git checkout of MediaWiki and the extensions repository.
The MW MathJax is the version available as of 7 days ago, too.
The invocation string used to call MathJax is:
http://wiki.x2592.com/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML
Examples of equations and other supported content can be seen on the
main page of http://wiki.x2592.com, showing the problem, and the page is
currently enabled for editing for anyone that feels like dabbling.
It might be useful to add that I started a thread about this in the
MathJax discussion group:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mathjax-users/ZSVVy0Gs0nY
Is anyone able to help me troubleshoot this and get MathML displaying
OK?
Many TIA if so, :-)

Where can I configure my wiki's top right Search box to do only the
traditional "Search" behavior (go to search results page) and _not_ do
the "Go" behavior (go to an article if its title matches)?
The "Go" action may be appropriate for wiki's that aim wide and
shallow at everything under the sun. My wiki however aims deep and
narrow at one topic. I find the "Go" search behavior gets in the way
of showing search results.
Here's what I've tried so far:
$wgVectorUseSimpleSearch=true; // makes the top right Search box
show a simple search icon, which I like, instead of the "Search" and
"Go" buttons, but it does the "Go" function.
$wgVectorUseSimpleSearch=false; // shows both the "Search" and "Go" buttons.
I want to show only the search _icon_ and have it do only the
_traditional_ Search behavior. Where can I configure this?
Thanks,
Roger

I've been trying to set up the Collection extension and my own render
farm so I can generate zim files from my wiki. So far no luck.
Here's where I am:
I followed this guide:
http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Mediawiki_collection_extension_installation
And I can create zim files from wikipedia using:
mw-zip -c :en -o test.zip Acdc Number
mw-render -c test.zip -o test.pdf -w zim
mw-zip works just as one would expect.
-------------------------
mw-zip -c :en -o test.zip Acdc Number

wikipedia.

I know this is more of an apache question, but it should be a slam-dunk
and I am stuck..
I am trying to get short URLs working. I've configured mod-rewrite
before on other systems and I can't find anything wrong with any of the
various setups I've tried, but mod_rewrite is being ignored.
Here's my mediawiki setup:
Alias /mediawiki /var/lib/mediawiki
<Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/>
Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
# some directories must be protected
<Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/config>
Options -FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/upload>
Options -FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
This works fine, except that I have long URLs in the form of
http://newmoon.seiner.lan/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
I would really like
http://newmoon.seiner.lan/wiki/Main_Page
I've tried
root@NewMoon:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# cat rewrite.conf
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mediawiki/index.php [L]
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 5
</IfModule>
and various other places. If I take out the Alias in the mediawiki
file, I get 404 errors.
Nothing is written in the rewrite log.
But if I intentionally break the rewrite.conf, I get an error, so I know
apache is reading it, but it is not rewriting the URL ever.
I've tried adding the rewrite rules in /var/www/.htaccess,
/var/lib/mediawiki/.htaccess, no joy.
Any hints on where I can look?
Thanks!
