File descriptions aren't fetched
by Till Kraemer 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi, I'm running multiple language wikis and one pool wiki. The problem is that no file descriptions are fetched in the language wikis although $wgFetchCommonsDescriptions is set to true. LocalSettings.php of the language wikis: $wgUseSharedUploads = true; $wgSharedUploadPath = 'http://pool.example.com/w/images'; $wgSharedUploadDirectory = '/path/to/pool/w/images/'; $wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true; $wgFetchCommonsDescriptions = true; $wgSharedUploadDBname = 'poolwiki'; # DB-Name of PoolWiki #$wgSharedUploadDBprefix = 'wiki_'; # Table name prefix for PoolWiki $wgRepositoryBaseUrl = "http://pool.example.com/wiki/Image:"; ForeignAPIRepo used to work fine before, but since I switched from Apache to Nginx, no images show up anymore in the language wikis. This is how my LocalSettings.php used to look like: $wgForeignFileRepos[] = array( 'class' => 'ForeignAPIRepo', 'name' => 'pool', 'apibase' => 'http://pool.example.com/w/api.php', 'fetchDescription' => true, // Optional 'descriptionCacheExpiry' => 43200, // 12 hours, optional (values are seconds) 'apiThumbCacheExpiry' => 0, // required for local thumb caching ); I also tried to set 'name' => 'poolwiki', (name of the pool database) but that doesn't work either. I also re-started Memcached and I even deleted a file description page from the CloudFlare cache, but still no file description can be seen :/ My software: MediaWiki: 1.22.0 PHP: 5.3.27 (fpm-fcgi) MySQL: 5.1.70-log Any help would be über-cool. Thanks and cheers, Till

Syntax highlighting for Mediawiki code
by Dan Fisher 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

I'm sure this has been asked a number of times before. What is the easiest thing that can be done so that when we click "edit" we see the Mediawiki code highlighted in different colors and various other settings instead of it being plain text? This is not highlighting for a computer language. Its highlighting for the default mediawiki code. For example: [[Hello|My link]] Just an example: 'Hello' can be in red, and the other part can be in green and brackets are bold and so on. Is there an extension that can be installed? This one, is for computer languages, so its not what I'm looking for: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi Dan

Scaling up - MySQL server
by David Gerard 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

rationalwiki.org is getting hammered again. It looks like MySQL is the busiest portion - seriously just doing a lot of work. Our current arrangement is: one box for MySQL, Apache, Lucene (the latter reindexing weekly); two Squids; a load balancer. These are all virtual machines on Linode (who we like). Apache and Squid boxes are Ubuntu 12.04 servers. The *usual* thing when we get hammered is that Reddit discovers an amusing tumbleweed article. The squids take care of this, of course. But then something like the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate happens, we score pretty highly in Google for skeptical material and a wide variety of articles gets hit and MySQL has to work for a living. So, what's a good approach to scaling up MySQL on a VM? Add more memory? Add more cores? (How's MySQL 5.5-ubuntu do for multicore?) We can trivially add more Squids, and we haven't doubled up on Apache but shirley that won't be entirely unfeasible. - d.

MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle 2014.02 release
by Kartik Mistry 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hello all, I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle 2014.02. This bundle is compatible with MediaWiki 1.22.2 and MediaWiki 1.21.5 releases. * Download: https://translatewiki.net/mleb/MediaWikiLanguageExtensionBundle-2014.02.tar… * sha256sum: 5c5636332b38a7ce9ac12fac74f0402afdc592aa58795b51dc4747877db340da Quick links: * Installation instructions are at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MLEB * Announcements of new releases will be posted to a mailing list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-i18n * Report bugs to: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org * Talk with us at: #mediawiki-i18n @ Freenode Release notes for each extension are below. -- Kartik Mistry == Babel, CLDR, CleanChanges == * Only localisation updates. == LocalisationUpdate == * README was updated to include better installation instructions. == Translate == === Noteworthy changes === * Allow capital letters in MediaWiki style variables (insertables) * Bug 60500: Added AppleFFS module for iOS/Mac OS X Localizable.strings files * Remove shortcut activated from "paste source". It's similar to "revert changes" button, which does not have the insertable class and thus the number indicating shortcut key won't be visible. * Added new hook TranslateMessageGroupPathVariables * Bug 61459: Removed $wgTranslateExtensionDirectory option. * The magic-export.php was updated to handle failures more gracefully. * Bug 50954: In the translation interface, 'Add documentation' link now changes to 'Edit documentation' as soon as documentation is added. * Bug 54194: The ApiQueryMessageCollection module no longer throws exceptions on invalid input. == UniversalLanguageSelector == === Noteworthy changes === * Detect tofu before applying any default fonts. See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/WebFonts#How_web… for technical documentation about how tofu detection works in ULS. * Bug 60304: Added enableWebfonts preference. Each wiki can be configured to load the fonts by default using the new global variable $wgULSWebfontsEnabled. Its default value is true (to load fonts). * ULS is now much lighter for the browser thanks to many changes: ** Bug 56292: All SVG images were optimized to reduce their size even 50% in some cases. ** I18n related jquery.i18n and messages code is now loaded only later after user interacts with ULS. ** We removed a dependency to a big JavaScript module which was no longer needed to support anonymous preferences. * Bug 60815: Add Marwari (rwr) and Ottoman Turkish (ota) to the languages supported by ULS. === Fonts === * Add Iranian Serif and Iranian Sans Bold fonts. * Removed Amiri font from Persian. * Replaced Xerxes font with Artaxerxes. === Input methods === * Bug 53695: For languages which have no input methods, the "Use native keyboard" option is now shown as selected by default. * Added Venetian input method. -- Kartik Mistry/કાર્તિક મિસ્ત્રી | IRC: kart_ {kartikm, 0x1f1f}.wordpress.com

MediaWiki Security and Maintenance Releases: 1.22.3, 1.21.6 and 1.19.12
by Markus Glaser 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hello everyone, I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.22.3, 1.21.6 and 1.19.12. These releases fix a number of security related bugs that could affect users of MediaWiki. In addition, MediaWiki 1.22.3 is a maintenance release. It fixes several bugs. You can consult the RELEASE-NOTES-1.22 file for the full list of changes in this version. Download links are given at the end of this email. == Security fixes == * (bug 60771) SECURITY: Disallow uploading SVG files using non-whitelisted namespaces. Also disallow iframe elements. User will get an error including the namespace name if they use a non- whitelisted namespace. * (bug 61346) SECURITY: Make token comparison use constant time. It seems like our token comparison would be vulnerable to timing attacks. This will take constant time. * (bug 61362) SECURITY: API: Don't find links in the middle of api.php links. == Bug fixes in 1.22.3 == * (bug 53710) Add sequence support for upsert in DatabaseOracle in the same way as in selectInsert * (bug 60231, 58719) Various fixes to job running code in Wiki.php: Make it async on Windows. Fixed possible "invalid filename" errors on Windows. Redirect output to dev/null to avoid hanging PHP. * (bug 60083) Correct sequence name for fresh Postgres installation. Spotted by gebhkla * (bug 60531) Avoid variable naming conflicts in DatabasePostgres::selectSQLText. Spotted by gebhkla * (bug 60094) Fix rebuildall.php fatal error with PostgreSQL. The fix for 47055 introduced a fatal error when running rebuildall.php. This is a workaround suggested by gebhkla on Bugzilla. It just checks to make sure $options is actually an array before calling array_search on it. * (bug 43817c12) Add error handling if descriptionmsg isn't defined for extension. * (bug 60543) Special:PrefixIndex omits stripprefix=1 for "Next page" link.
