Developing a FileBackend that supports subfolders
by Robert Vogel 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Hello everybody! I am trying to evaluate the feasibility of creating a FileBackend [1] that supports having multiple files with the same filename in different subfolders. On the database such a file could be saved with slashes in its name (e.g image.img_name = Foo/bar/Some.pdf and image.img_name = Baz/Some.pdf) as a unique identifier and it also could be linked in wikitext (e.g [[Media:Baz/Some.pdf]]) in this way. But in the servers file system it would be saved to something like "<mediawiki>/images/baz/5/5f/ Some.pdf". Does anybody know if this is possible with MediaWikis FileBackend? Are there any issues that I should be aware of?

Alternatives for [[Project:Support desk]], Q&A sites
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T31923#1160268 Question by HappyDog: «However, one does have to question why we use the wiki for these purposes at all. We don't use the wiki for internal issue tracking, so I'm not sure why we are using it for support. I am not aware of any other company or open source project that would consider using a wiki for handling support issues - it is clearly the wrong tool for the job». What software/site to use for https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk ? Nemo

Changing login or another button active state color
by npyxg1mg2kn7dvk0rl06 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

I use personal theme and successful fixed login button(mw-ui-button.mw-ui-constructive) color like that: .mw-ui-button.mw-ui-constructive { background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #7EC0EE; color: #D3D7CF; border: 1px solid #7EC0EE; text-shadow: 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } .mw-ui-button.mw-ui-constructive:hover { box-shadow: 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0px -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) inset; border-bottom-color: #7EC0EE; But when I press button, button color changes to #00AF89 for second. I tried set color to .mw-ui-button.mw-ui-constructive:active with no success. Can't catch active button state with inspect element

non whitelisted namespaces?
by Bill Traynor 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I'm getting the following error when trying to upload an SVG image: "This SVG file contains an illegal namespace "http://sozi.baierouge.fr" In searching for a solution to this, I've found http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WhitelistedNamespaces Do I really need to install another extension to solve this problem? Why would a domain name in an SVG even trigger this Warning on upload? Also, checking the Ignore Warnings radio button in the upload form doesn't have any effect. Thanks Bill

using hlist
by Bill Traynor 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I've added the following snippets to common.js and common.css: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Snippets/Horizontal_lists And I've got a table written in MW markup that I've added class="wikitable hlist"; to. Now how to I make an unordered list in a table cell appear horizontally? Right now I have: * Item 1 * Item 2 * Item 3 I need this to render as: * Item 1 * Item 2 * Item 3 Ideally, I'd like to be able to do this as wiki markup. Is that possible? Or do I have to wrap the list in a div? Thanks Bill

Does the logging table have to be in chronological order?
by Daniel Barrett 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Will anything bad happen if entries in the MediaWiki "logging" table are not inserted in chronological order? Due to a bug, our logging table has incomplete data. I'd like to insert the missing data using a script. However, the log_id column is auto-increment. This means that when the table is ordered by log_id, the data will not be in chronological order by log_timestamp. Is that bad in any way? Or are all applications (like Special:Log) expected to "order by log_timestamp" rather than log_id? Thanks, Dan

Reminder: AjaxDispatcher and Sajax are deprecated
by Krinkle 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hey all, This is a reminder that AjaxDispatcher and the Sajax js library have been deprecated for a while now (many years). They are still around due to them having been exempted from our deprecation policy – this because these features (as well as their deprecation) predate the existence of this policy and are part of our legacy stack. I'd like to propose their removal in MediaWiki 1.26.0. This is expected to release in November 2015 [1] for third-parties. For Wikimedia sites we'd drop it in June 2015 halfway our 1.26wmf branch cycle. Well after 1.25wmf22 [2], and shortly after the Lyon Hackathon. [4] Note that the Sajax js library has been decorated with deprecation notices, and re-deprecated with release notes since MediaWiki 1.22.0 (December 2013). Sajax usage has almost been eliminated. Migration should be trivial using jQuery. [3][4] AjaxDispatcher is typically migrated to an API module. [5] A few projects known to make use of Sajax: * SecurePoll * ReaderFeedback * BlogPage (Only SecurePoll is deployed at Wikimedia.) A few projects known to make use of AjaxDispatcher: * CategoryTree * Collection * FlaggedRevs * SecurePoll * SemanticticForms (All of which are deployed at Wikimedia.)
