Hi,
I'm trying to use Wikibase on my pool wiki and language wikis.
In my pool wiki, I can create properties and items, but I can't add site
links to them. ID: "Q1", site id: "cswiki", site link: "article name"
gives me the error "The specified article could not be found on the
corresponding site." even though that article exists on cswiki.
I also can't access data from the language wikis. If I use
{{#property:P1}} in an article on cswiki, nothing shows up.
I downloaded Wikidata-refs-heads-master.tar.gz and extracted it to the
extension folder of my pool wiki and language wikis.
My LocalSettings.php of the pool wiki looks like this:
# Wikibase
$wgEnableWikibaseRepo = true;
$wgEnableWikibaseClient = false;
$wmgUseWikibaseRepo = true;
$wmgUseWikibaseClient = false;
require_once __DIR__ . "/extensions/Wikidata/Wikidata.php";
require_once __DIR__ .
"/extensions/Wikidata/extensions/Wikibase/repo/ExampleSettings.php";
# SiteMatrix Extension
require_once "$IP/extensions/SiteMatrix/SiteMatrix.php";
$wgLocalDatabases = array( 'cswiki', 'dewiki', 'enwiki', 'eswiki',
'frwiki', 'huwiki', 'hywiki', 'itwiki', 'nlwiki', 'plwiki', 'poolwiki',
'ptwiki', 'ruwiki', 'srwiki', 'svwiki' );
My LocalSettings.php of the language wikis (cs for example) look like this:
# Wikibase Extension
$wgEnableWikibaseRepo = false;
$wgEnableWikibaseClient = true;
$wmgUseWikibaseRepo = false;
$wmgUseWikibaseClient = true;
require_once __DIR__ . "/extensions/Wikidata/Wikidata.php";
# Settings
$wgWBSettings['repoUrl'] = 'http://pool.mypedia.com';
$wgWBSettings['repoScriptPath'] = '/w';
$wgWBSettings['repoArticlePath'] = '/wiki/$1';
$wgWBSettings['siteGlobalID'] = 'cswiki';
$wgWBSettings['repoDatabase'] = 'poolwiki';
$wgWBSettings['changesDatabase'] = 'poolwiki';
# Optional
$wgWBSettings['siteGroup'] = 'mypedia';
$wgWBSettings['sort'] = 'code'; //optional
$wgWBSettings['sortPrepend'] = array(
'cs'
);
In populateSitesTable.php, I changed
"https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php" to
"http://pool.mypedia.com/w/api.php" and "$validGroups = array(
'wikipedia', 'wikivoyage', 'wikiquote', 'wiktionary','wikibooks',
'wikisource', 'wikiversity', 'wikinews' );" to "$validGroups = array(
'mypedia' );"
Do I need to change "$wikiId = $this->getOption( 'wiki' );" too, since
it says "wiki" is expanded to "wikipedia"?
Table "sites" in the poolwiki database looks like this:
site_id | site_global_key | site_type | site_group | site_source |
site_language | site_protocol | site_domain | site_data | site_forward |
site_config
1 | cswiki | mediawiki | mypedia | local | cs | http:// |
com.mypedia.cs. |
a:1:{s:5:"paths";a:2:{s:9:"file_path";s:5:"/w/$1";s:9:"page_path";s:8:"/wiki/$1";}}
| 0 | a:0:{}
[...]
15 | poolwiki | mediawiki | pool | local | en | http:// |
com.mypedia.pool. |
a:1:{s:5:"paths";a:2:{s:9:"file_path";s:5:"/w/$1";s:9:"page_path";s:8:"/wiki/$1";}}
| 0 | a:0:{}
I changed site_group "wikipedia" to "mypedia" and added data for
site_protocol and site_domain by hand.
I noticed that the script path is "/w/$1" here, while $wgScriptPath in
LocalSettings.php is actually "/w", could that cause any problems?
And should I change site_group of the pool to mypedia like I did with
the language wikis or isn't that necessary?
Wikibase DataModel 0.8, Wikibase Repository 0.5 alpha, WikibaseLib 0.5
alpha and Wikidata show up in Special:Version of the pool wiki.
Wikibase Client 0.5 alpha, Wikibase DataModel 0.8, WikibaseLib 0.5 alpha
and Wikidata show up in Special:Version of the language wikis.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks and cheers,
Till
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

How much longer? 1.25 is May 2015; Wikimedia's ZAP -> HAT migration is
nominally to be finished within a month…

Sure, if announcing a 1.25 dependency change and then changing the change
later won't disrupt people too much.

While looking into upgrading my 1.22.5 installation to 1.23.5, I noticed that the tests/ directory was missing. Looking in git it is there for the REL1_23, but seems to have vanished in the tarballs for releases?
Am I missing something? or are these releases incomplete?
Sincerely confused,

Hi all,
My team at the MITRE Corporation is considering using the LiquidThreads
(LQT) code base as a starting point for a new commenting extension we are
writing. We would either fork LQT and work directly on the existing code,
or at least use the code as inspiration or a basis for how to start
designing our own extension.
I'm aware that development of LQT was canceled over three years ago - can
anyone shed some light on the backstory of why it was abandoned? If there
were some fundamental technical flaws with the extension, that would be
good for us to know if we shouldn't waste our time; on the other hand, if
it was more of a policy/philosophy reason, then that would also be good for
us to know, to see if that reasoning applies to our needs.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've added Cite and refToolbar to my Wiki but they aren't being loaded.
Cite was automatically in my extension directory immediately after
installation, so what I did was I added
require_once "$IP/extensions/Cite/SpecialCite.php";
To near the end of LocalSettings.php and while cite appears @
Special:Version it does not appear to be working. For example, citation
templates I've added to my Wiki are not organized into footnotes when
contained between <ref> </ref> tags and these tags are, in fact, left
unparsed in articles.
As for refToolbar I added this extension (via copy-pasting the files
listed here
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RefToolbar#Related_scripts]
into their respective MediaWiki namespace pages (including adding
* refToolbar[ResourceLoader|default|dependencies=user.options,mediawiki.legacy.wikibits]|refToolbar.js
* refToolbarBase[ResourceLoader|hidden|rights=hidden]|refToolbarBase.js
to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition). <gadget-refToolbar> appears @
Special:Preferences under Gadgets and is ticked.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton

The bad part of LQT is not about interaction with watchlist.
It will be
essentially untouched by any trimming short of complete
rewrite.

If you fork something, you will have to maintain it forever
- why not put
the same effort in contributing to mainline instead? And
Flow is quite
complete for most use cases, and its team is mostly working
on adding
support for various crazy workflows user communities have
created in more
than 10 years without a good discussion system. I don't
think you need to
wait for these.

I already explained why, bugs are here:

librsvg didn't work. I've installed it via cygwin (I'm
running Windows 7
64 bit). I even directed MediaWiki (via $wgSVGConverterPath
=
'C:\cygwin64\usr\include\librsvg-2.0\librsvg';) towards the
directory
where it is installed. Any other ideas?

I've also noticed that with each time the

is decreased by 20 minutes on the "small" wikis, and by 10
minutes on "large"
wikis such as Wikipedia. The message of the above linked
commit is
> Made ActiveUsers use querycache and do staggered
updates on view
Is this what "staggered updates" are supposed to do? Does
the cached page age
really depend on how frequently it is loaded by users? This
would explain why
the age is over 29 days for small wikis, while large wikis
serve ~1day old page.

Hi,
since the update of MediaWiki from 1.22 to 1.24, which happened about 10 days
ago [1], ArchWiki has some problems with the Special:ActiveUsers page [2]:
* The number of users in the list is much lower than it should be according to
the Special:Statistics page.
* The users in the ActiveUsers list are not the most recently active users
according to Special:RecentChanges (but it happened several times that the
list contained only my account, which could be related to that I was the most
recently logged-in user viewing a page at that time).
* The ActiveUsers list will grow larger (but not large enough) when the page is
reloaded frequently, but will be emptied after some time regardless of
$wgActiveUserDays which is 30, the issue is only a few days old on our wiki.
* The second line on the ActiveUsers page says:
"You are viewing a cached version of this page, which can be up to 29 days, 23
hours and 40 minutes old."
This value is too large, isn't it? Is it even configurable? I have been unable
to find anything related. Also, I don't think the page was cached until 1.23
or 1.24, so perhaps this is part of the problem...
As far as we know, ArchWiki is not the only one affected, see e.g. [3].
Thanks for any clues about the issue.

Hi,
I've noticed that SVG thumbnailing on my new locally-hosted Wiki is
thumbnailing svgs incorrectly. This is what it appears like atm when

Likewise I've also noticed there's no enclosing box around infoboxes in
my Wiki, which you can also see in this image. This is the sort of

Hello Markus,
there was supposed to be a "monthly point release" 2 days ago, for versions
1.23.x and 1.24.x (1).
I guess it's postponed for some reason.
Are there any estimates when it will be?
Thanks,
Erkan
