CS1 errors; how to remove undesired ones
by Brenton Horne 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hi, I've copy-pasted the Citation/CS1 module from Wikipedia (with some minor adjustments, like I wanted the dois to be listed before PMCs and PMIDs, which the original module didn't do on my Wiki), along with its dependencies. The problem is that on my Wiki we have month ranges in journal article cites, sometimes, e.g., September-October 2010 for this citation http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20622510 and this generates a CS1 error. If you need to see the source of this module see http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Module:Citation/CS1?action=raw. A list of its dependencies I copy-pasted can be found here: http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Ci…. Here's an example of this date error http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Chimeric_monoclonal_antibody. I don't understand Lua so please be patient with me. Thanks for your time, Brenton

Hi All, I am trying to make a page in mywiki which all the users can be notified upon any changes only on this specific page not anything else. I don't want to use news feed tools as I just want to send email notification to users when only and only this specific page changed.I could not find any extension or tool for that ,however, the notification extensions are existed but I don't know how to change the configuration and installation to my own requests.Any help would be really appreciated. Regards,Poopak

update problem
by Alois Treindl 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

I am updating from Mediawiki 1.20.3 to 1.24.1 When I run maintenance/update.php I get this error: Adding rev_content_format field to table revision ...A database query error has occurred. Query: ALTER TABLE `adb_revision` ADD rev_content_format varbinary(64) DEFAULT NULL Function: DatabaseBase::sourceFile( /www/docs/wiki/maintenance/archives/patch-revision-rev_content_format.sql ) Error: 7 Error on rename of './wikidb/adb_revision.frm' to './wikidb/#sql2-1c98-86.frm' (Errcode: 13) (localhost) The $wgDBadminuser is user 'mysql' and the password for it is in my own ~/-my.cnf What could be the problem, or how could I debug this? It is not my first Mediawiki update, I have a history of updateing in 2013 from 1.18 to 1.20.3 and before than from 1.17 to 1.18

Password Reset Trouble
by Rowe, Dolores A 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Dear Teammates, I am looking at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Resetting_passwords and would like to use Special:PasswordReset. I have set the following property in LocalSettings.php: $wgGroupPermissions['sysop' ]['passwordreset'] = true; Also I am a sysop, and I am logged in. However, when the form comes up, it does not put up the input box where I can type in the user's email. It's MediaWiki 1.22.8. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong ? thanks, Lori

Interwiki linking
by Brenton Horne 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi, I've heard of the interwiki linking table and suffice it to say that the MediaWiki article on this ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interwiki_table) wasn't exactly helpful to me as a guide as to how to set them up. I would like someone to boil it down into a group of simple steps for me to do whenever I want to add interwiki links to my Wiki (I do have the extension installed if you're wondering and it seems to work fine for interwiki links already defined like [[Wikipedia:...]]). I'd also like acronyms (e.g., WP for Wikipedia) to work as prefixes in interwiki links like they do on the Wikimedia projects. Thanks for your time, Brenton

Rollback problem
by Brenton Horne 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi, I tried to rollback 10 edits on the MediaWiki:Common.css page on my Wiki and that action left me on a blank page and now I can't seem to load my Wiki at all (as the browser tries to load the page but never manages to). This problem is not limited to just one browser either, both opera and chrome are having this problem. How do I overcome this problem? Thanks for your time, Brenton

MediaWiki:Edittools Javascript wrapping
by Brenton Horne 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi, I've installed the edittools gadget on my local Wiki (taken from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Edittools.js) and now I'm customizing edittools (MediaWiki:Edittools, see http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Edittools to see it for yourself via ngrok), namely, by removing the special characters in it (as they're found in the WikiEditor I've installed) and adding templates with their doc pages hyperlinked in it. Unfortunately, this gadget treats all text the same getting them ready for insertion in the source editor, whereas I'd like the doc superscript to be left the way it is hyperlinked. Here's a screenshot showing what I'm talking about (with a drawn in box around the doc superscript I'd like to be left without the formatting of the characters to be inserted) http://imgur.com/8CDjO1k. Thanks for your time, Brenton

08 Feb '15

Hi i have this https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/184689/ in gerrit but was rejected because it had duplicate information. i would like to filter out extensions and only show skins on the skins api because at the moment it only shows the skins name and if it is default and if it is being skipped i would like to add the information that extension has but also have default skin and is it skipped also. skins have version and other information but it is not shown in the api.

Collapsing parts of the sidebar in vector skin
by Brenton Horne 08 Feb '15

08 Feb '15

Hi, I'd like to know how I can collapse sections in the vector sidebar like they have on SklogWiki (http://www.sklogwiki.org/SklogWiki/index.php/Main_Page). Please remember I am not a programmer or otherwise skilled in technical things so please just give me something to copy-paste (e.g., into LocalSettings.php or a page in the MediaWiki namespace). Thanks for your time, Brenton
