Calling local scripts from common.js
by Huji Lee 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hi, In the old days (i.e. before ResourceLoader), one could load a user script from their own local machine using something like importScript('file:///home/user/script.js') Today I tried to do something similar except that my script relies on RL modules (such as OOjs UI, MediaWiki API, etc). I couldn't get it to work. Some users on #mediawiki channel doubted it is at all possible to load a local script that uses RL modules. One user suggested GreaseMonkey but even that did not help. Note that I was using debug mode the entire time. I was wondering if anyone has been successful doing what I desire, or knows how it can be done. For the record, the script I was trying to run through GM is at [1]. Thanks, Huji [1] https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-AfD.js

[MediaWiki-announce] CentralAuth security update
by Gergo Tisza 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

A security bug [1] has been fixed in CentralAuth; the bug caused logouts to silently fail if the local account on the central login wiki was unattached. That does not happen under normal circumstances, so the vulnerability can only be exposed if some other error causes attaching accounts to fail; nevertheless you are advised to update your installations. The fix has been backported to all supported versions (those for MediaWiki 1.23, 1.26 and 1.27).

MediaWiki Architectural Patterns & Quality Attributes for Research
by Michael Skeen 16 Oct '16

16 Oct '16

Hello MediaWiki Community, I am part of an undergraduate research group focusing on software architecture patterns and quality attributes at Utah Valley University. We recently analyzed the work published on MediaWiki in the Architecture of Open Source Applications <http://aosabook.org/en/index.html> (AOSA) and referenced it in a paper we presented at the 13th Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA), as attached. As a part of our continuing research we wish to validate our architectural analysis for MediaWiki with the current developers. We would like to know if we are missing any patterns or quality attributes that may have been included in MediaWiki, or if there are any we listed that aren’t used. Any additional comment on these topics you might have would also, of course, be welcome. We believe we found the following software architectural patterns in this application: * Pattern Name | Is This Found in the Architecture? (yes / no / don't know) | Comments (optional)* Broker Client Server Event System Layers Pipes & Filters Plugin Shared Repository Other? We also identified the following quality attributes: * Attribute Name | Is This Found in the Architecture? | Comments (optional)* Scalability Usability Extensibility Performance Flexibility Security Capacity Cost Other? For your convenience, we have a complete list below of the patterns and quality attributes we referred to when conducting our research. To clarify, we are specifically studying architectural patterns, rather than design patterns such as the GoF patterns. Architectural Patterns Considered Quality Attributes Considered Active Repository Scalability Batch Usability Blackboard Extensibility Broker Performance Client Server Portability Event System Flexibility Explicit Invocation Reliability Implicit Invocation Maintainability Indirection Layer Security Interceptor Testability Interpreter Capacity Layers Cost Master and Commander Legality Microkernel Modularity Model View Controller Robustness Peer to Peer Pipes and Filters Plugin Presentation Abstraction Control Publish Subscribe Reflection Rule-Based System Shared Repository Simple Repository State Based Virtual Machine Please respond by October 25th, if possible. Thank you for considering our request, and for your continued work on MediaWiki. Sincerely, Michael Skeen, with Erich Gubler, Danielle Skinner, Brandon Leishman, Neil Harrison, Ph.D. (advisor) Reference: Neil B.

Help with link to file
by Luca Bertoncello 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Hi list! I'm new to MediaWiki and I have a problem that I can't resolve... :( So, I installed MediaWiki 1.26.4 and the WYSIWYG-CKeditor-wysiwyg_mw127_459. It works correct and I can create and edit the pages. My problem is when I need to link an uploaded file in the page... In this case I always see the link "file:blahblah.txt"... If I change the name, I can't access the file anymore. Can someone say me, how to solve my problem? Thanks a lot Luca Bertoncello
