Search multilingual in one mediawiki
by Grammy Jiang 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Dear all, Sorry for bothering you. I deloy MediaWiki as a content sharing && management platform in my own company, and in company we use both English and Chinese. In mediawiki very beginning configuration page, English is selected as a default language for this MediaWiki, but there will be some pages wrote in Chinese in this MediaWiki. Now my problem is, "Search" function is only working in English, when I input Chinese in the search box, MediaWiki will return nothing! Does MediaWiki support this kind of function, search in multilingual in the same one MediaWiki? Do i miss any settings? If not, is there any MediaWiki Extension may help? Many thanks! Best regards, Grammy Jiang Qingdao Create Future Environment Protection Technology Consultancy Co., Ltd Room 6-11, Building B, International Innovation Park, Songling Road, Laoshan District, Qingdao City, China

Security fixes for CentralAuth and MobileFrontend extensions
by Chris Steipp 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 A number of security issues in MediaWiki extensions have been fixed. Users of these extensions should update to the latest version. * CentralAuth: Internal review found multiple issues that have been resolved: ** (bug 70469) Special:MergeAccount failed to validate the anti-csrf token in its forms when performing actions. <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70469> ** (bug 70468) The internal function to attach multiple local wiki accounts into a single, global account did not re-check that the requesting user owned the "home wiki" for that username, but assumed that user did own this account. This could allow a user to add their local account edits to a global account that they didn't own. <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70468> ** (bug 71749) Incomplete fix for bug 70468. The fix wasn't applied to the new feature where accounts were globalized automatically on login. <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71749> ** (bug 70620) When globally renaming a user, the antispoof table, which prevents similar looking names from being created, weren't updated. This potentially allowed another user to register an account with a name that looked identical to the username of a user who had been globally renamed. <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70620> * MobileFrontend: (bug 70009) Sherif Mansour discovered that POST parameters were being added to links generated by MobileFrontend, which could reveal the user's password after login. <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70009> ********************************************************************** Extension:CentralAuth ********************************************************************** Information and Download: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CentralAuth ********************************************************************** Extension:MobileFrontend ********************************************************************** Information and Download: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlQ1lJoACgkQ7h9mNGLYTwGdgAD/X7q6WfaBoE2SdKjZeoLE9yvs wg07Fs4kytmmSQDXa4IBAKBgaYuhuRt5j+G5Q9YNdfCCkvlSqnz7heCIX1Ddn5ma =cOb1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Documentation needed for downloading skins via Git
by Yaron Koren 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hi, I upgraded a wiki (via Git) to the latest version, which is 1.25alpha, and discovered that core MediaWiki no longer includes any skins. To get skins via Git, the error message at the top of the wiki helpfully recommended "Cloning one of the mediawiki/skins/* repositories via git [sic] into the skins/ directory of your MediaWiki installation." What was missing, however, was an actual Git command to call. I looked in mediawiki.org and couldn't find anything either. I tried some obvious commands, like: git clone http://git.wikimedia.org/tree/mediawiki%2Fskins/Vector.git ...but those didn't work. Thankfully, someone on IRC suggested the following: git clone https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-Vector ...which did work. But that doesn't seem like the official location; and in any case, this really should be documented somewhere. Can anyone help with this? -Yaron -- WikiWorks · MediaWiki Consulting · http://wikiworks.com

Reset MediaWiki password without email
by Tongjie Li 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

hi,all I have a question of how to reset MediaWiki password without email.I post it in stackoverflow, but maybe it is be better asked here. We set up a MediaWiki server for organizing docs.One of our customers forget his password.We need to reset the password for him. In the MediaWiki docs <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Resetting_passwords> ,there are three ways to do it: First is to reset by email. Since we do not have a mail server,we can't done with it. Second is using changePassword.php, we try it. But we found other account can be changed successfully,but not this account. After the script runs, the new password is still not working. Third is using direct database modification,since our version is 1.22. still other account can be changed, but not this account. After update the database,the user cannot login in with new password. sql as foolow: UPDATEuserSET user_password = CONCAT(':B:somesalt:', MD5(CONCAT('somesalt-', MD5('somepass')))) WHERE user_name = 'someuser'; We have no idea why is this happen? Will be MediaWiki bug? Is there any log that I can check? Is anyone have a idea? thank you very much! -- All the Best! Li Tongjie
