Hi everyone,
Does anyone here have experience running MediaWiki on AWS using S3 for
file uploads? If so, could you please let me know what extensions you
are using and perhaps provide your configs? I, and everyone else who
has looked at our site, is having difficulty wrapping our head around
how the AWS extension works. We haven't gotten it working, nor have we
gotten LocalS3Repo to work. Our goal is to have MediaWiki uploads sent
directly to S3 and served through S3 without going through our EC2
instances to save IO and bandwidth.
Could someone help us out?
PS: Here's our LocalSettings.php and its history:
https://github.com/SYNHAK/infrastructure/commits/master/config/LocalSetting…
Feel free to contact me either on or off list if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Chris Egeland
This is a notice that on Tuesday, Jan 28th between 21:00-22:00 UTC (1-2pm
PST) Wikimedia Foundation will release critical security updates for
current and supported branches of the MediaWiki software and extensions.
Downloads and patches will be available at that time, with the git
repositories updated soon after. The vulnerable feature is not enabled in
MediaWiki by default, however many sites will want to upgrade as soon as
the patch is available.
Hi,
I would like to allow users to be able to enter their social networking handles (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) into their user profiles so I can then show them on their user page or along with an article they create.
Anyone know of any way to get that done using any combination of extensions, hooks, etc.?
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
if I go on a wikilink in a page then a tooltip with the name of the
link target is shown. I would like to replace the tooltip text with
some text from the target page. Is it somehow possible?
Thanks a lot Sigbert

Yet another issues I have recently encountered is sidebars and some
boxes that contain info or links are filling the whole page across
rather than collapsing as they should and do on Wikipedia.
Any tips?
Thanks

Error: Module:Navbar:25: bad argument #1 to 'sub' (string expected, got
nil)
any tips on what is causing this. I thought maybe Lua but so far can not
confirm that.
seems to be occurring in several navbar templates.
thanks
John
From time to time I see this:
Example(talk<dot-separator>contribs<dot-separator>rights<dot-separator>renames)
Instead of this:
Example(talk•contribs•rights•renames)
Any ideas what I should do for this?
Thanks

Is anyone aware of an extension that would allow a user to view the
differences between two articles?
We are using mediawiki for user manuals. The articles themselves are
similar across a family of models, with the major differences being
images and a small amount of text in each article.
Over time, revisions diverge the articles, and cross-referencing a 150
page manual by hand across 5 models is quite time consuming.
I'd like to be able to run a diff, similar to the article history,
except between articles so I could easily pick up on the changes between
articles.
WorkingWiki [1] is not a lightweight tool, and needs you to be
assertively in control of your site's security, but can definitely do
this. You would just need to add a one- or two-line make rule to your
wiki page. I can provide more info if wanted.
