I distinctly remember there was a way to add a title to a special page
simply by entering in a URL, then adding the title to the wiki edit
field, and then saving. The new "writing a new special page" how-to is
very confusing - and it wants me to write PHP to get the title to show
up. There was an easier way...
I can't find this how-to anywhere- though I'm sure it used to exist. FX
can you walk me through how you've added a wiki page title to a special
page?
Thanks!

That page seems to have changed, it now just has a pointer to an
article about writing an extension which really doesn't seem to build
a special page.
I just figured out how to build a new special page which is like the
Uncategorized pages page, but looks at the Image namespace. I wrote it
up at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Writing_a_new_special_page

I'm currently trying to adapt several gadgets that are meant for wikis using the Monobook/Vector skins to the Monaco skin, and so far, I've managed to successfully port over the UTC Clock gadget and Sandbox page gadget to Monaco, but aside from those I've been having trouble since, frankly, my knowledge of Javascript/JQuery is slim and I'm not familiar with all the variables used in writing user scripts. I've fairly decent with CSS style sheets, but I still need help with Javascript, so does anyone know of some good resources I could look into, preferably tailored for writing scripts on MediaWiki?
Also, if anyone wants to see what I have done so far (and have released publicly), the wiki I have been testing my live gadget/user script code on is here:
https://mediawikitesters.orain.org/wiki/Main_Page
Has the parser just been changed with regards to tildes (~~~~) inside
HTML comments? It appears they used to be ignored, and are now
suddenly being replaced en masse the next time someone edits the page
(and can't be easily reverted - it just changes the sig to the
reverter's instead). See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2006-06-02-ear…
for an example.

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
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:

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.

-- 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.
