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.

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
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)
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.

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?
