Wikibase on third-party wikis
by Till Kraemer 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

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

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

Extensions/Gadgets that assist in template field-filling
by Brenton Horne 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hi, I know that on Wikia sites there's a tool available when editing in the Visual Editor that allows one to choose from all the templates on the Wikia site, and when one selects the template one wishes to use it loads the fields for said template and allows one to edit them all in this pop-up window before embedding this template into the article. It makes inserting several-input templates like infoboxes far easier and I was wondering if something like this existed for local MediaWikis when operating in source mode. I was wondering if it might be possible, for instance (like if something different to this is possible I'm still happy to hear it), if the WikiEditor extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor) could be given an additional tool with these capabilities. If you're wondering what I mean by this "tool" for inserting templates see http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Templates#Adding_pre-existing_templates . Thanks for your time, Brenton

Missing tests/ directory in 1.23.1-5
by Daniel Renfro 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

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, -Daniel (Us+er:AlephNull)

Autopromote problems
by John Horne 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

Hello, We are running a private wiki (MW version 1.24.1) so that anonymous users get no rights, and logged in users get the 'user' group rights. However, we have also set in the LocalSettings file: $wgAutopromote['editor'] = array(APCOND_INGROUPS, 'autoconfirmed'); and set various permissions for this group. Additionally we have set : $wgAutopromote['sysop'] = array(APCOND_ISIP, '141.163.4.11'); However, when I log in and look at the special user rights management page for my own userid, I see that I am in no specific group except for the implied group of 'autoconfirmed users' and Administrators. There are checkboxes for the Administrators, Bureaucrats and 'editor' groups, but none of them are ticked. If I tick a checkbox, and then click save, it says the setting has been saved but unchecks the checkbox again. Secondly, and more worryingly, is that if I log in using the 141.163.4.11 IP address, and look at the special user rights page, it shows everyone as being in the 'Administrators' (sysop) group! If I take out the autopromote from the LocalSettings file, then no-one (other than the original account created during installation) is shown as being in the Administrators group. Very strange. So, two things, why can we not set anyone in a group on the user rights management page, and why does the autopromote put everyone in the Administrators/sysop group? Thanks, John. -- ---------------------------------------------------- John Horne Tel: +44 (0)1752 587287 Plymouth University, UK

Indexing a nil value in Lua-based templates
by Brenton Horne 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Hi, I have created a ngrok link for my local host (I will try to keep it open as long as possible but if it is down and you want to access it please feel free to ask) and it is here: http://268ff1f3.ngrok.com (wiki is at http://268ff1f3.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/). Template:TemplateBox (http://268ff1f3.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Template:TemplateBox; which depends on Module:Languages @ http://268ff1f3.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Module:Languages) is causing an error at Template:Information_WC/doc (http://268ff1f3.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Template:Information_WC/doc), namely: "|Lua error in Module:Languages at line 291: attempt to index a nil value.|" These templates and modules I have imported (via Special:Export/Import) from Wikimedia Commons (Template:Information_WC/doc was at Template:Information/doc). Module:Languages can also be viewed on my Google Drive, if ngrok is causing issues: http://goo.gl/LaUYqM. Thanks for your time, Brenton

Remove the mustache from the logo?
by Yaron Koren 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Hi, Anyone now going to mediawiki.org will see this image for the logo: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/b/bc/Wiki.png It's the regular MediaWiki logo with a moustache and a "NOW WITH MUSTACHE" inscription; the change was made this morning. I'm pretty sure that the change is an excited reference to MediaWiki now making use of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustache_(template_system) However, as far as I can tell there's no explanation for the change anywhere in the site. Which means that a fair number of visitors to the site, I would have to guess, will think that it's been hacked. That was my first instinct, at least, when I saw the logo. I don't think there's anything wrong with being lighthearted on a documentation page, or even with playing around the logo - Google wrote the book on that sort of thing. But this particular change seems like an inept attempt at humor; could it please be reverted? -Yaron -- WikiWorks · MediaWiki Consulting · http://wikiworks.com
