Hello everyone,
with the release of MediaWiki 1.24, the lifetime of MediaWiki version 1.22 ends. There will be a final maintenance release on 17th of December, 2014.
The new legacy version is 1.23. Users still using MediaWiki 1.22 are advised to upgrade to version 1.24.0 (latest stable) or 1.23.7 (legacy and LTS version).
MediaWiki 1.19 LTS will continue to be supported until May, 2015.
Best,
Mark Hershberger and Markus Glaser

Hi again,
getting to me second server-update I'm encountering a new set of error-messages. :-)
This time it's an undefined index: editfont in the file
includes/resourceloader/ResourceLoaderUserCSSPrefsModule.php
grepping for the word editfont through the whole
mediawiki-installation-directory didn't really help. It seems that exept for the
for lines inside of the file above (none of which defines editfont btw.) there's
one possible candidate in
includes/DefaultSettings.php: 'editfont' => 'default',
but I'm not sure whether that should be the definition missing in
ResourceLoaderUserCSSPrefsModule.php...
I'm adding the grep-result (minus the entries in languages/i18n/) to this mail
for anyone who's interested.
I'd be grateful for any hints or tips as to how to solve the error-message.

Hi!
There is now a Special:SkinDistributor[1] on mediawiki.org that will
allow you to download tarballs of skins that are hosted on gerrit. Since
skins have moved out of the core repository and handled like extensions
as of 1.24, it's now possible to provide an easier way to download them.
In addition, I discovered that the tarball generator (for both
extensions and skins) was including .git subdirectories in the tarballs
it was creating, causing extremely large tarballs depending on the
history. It no longer does that[2], shrinking tarballs by over 100MB in
some cases!
Thanks to Chad and Yuvi for helping with code review and the deployment!

I was looking at the information for the tooltips in MediaWiki
The info part works
However
Note and warning does not work.
Is there another way to get tooltips working in in MediaWiki without have to x out of them?
Without icon as well

Hi
Once upon a time after account creation users were directed to:
Mediawiki:Welcomecreation and then it was changed to Mediawiki:Welcomeuser
(I think). But now (1.23.6) it seems to go to a different page all together
with an option of either going back to the page they were at or going to
their preferences.
Does anyone know where that page is?
Can it be customized like Welcomecreation?
Thanks
I'm using the chameleon skin and I see that in the drilldown choose category it is showing bullets for the ul#drilldown-categories.
I do see that the css is there to remove them.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you for your help!

When I click on a table of content link it goes past the heading I selected by 2 lines.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you for your help!

Hi all,
I'd like to change some colours in the Vector skin, but if I do this
in CSS I will have to put hundreds of lines of code into
MediaWiki:Vector.css. It looks like the colours I want to change are
defined as Less variables, so if I could just override those then it
would be only a handful of lines. I don't really want to clone the
skin and modify the duplicate copy, because I will have to redo it on
every upgrade to make sure I get the latest updates to the Vector skin.
I tried putting the Less overrides in MediaWiki:Vector.css but it looks
like this content gets included separately, so it can't override any
Less variables.
Is there any way to tweak the Less code via an article page in this
manner, before it gets processed into CSS?
Many thanks,
Adam.
