Question on files comments
by Jeremi Plazas 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Hey there, We are using a bot to upload images to a wiki. It would seem that when we decide to upload a “new version” of a particular file (importing a new file over an existing file), mediawiki keeps the original “Comments” (Categories and the like…) that were specified in the original upload, even if new categories were specified in the latest upload. See the following link for what I mean: http://terdzod.tsadra.org/index.php/File:RTZ-Tsagli-KA-02-kar_gling_zhi_khr… Notice that the latest upload had a Category:Tsaglis added to it. But somehow that category isn’t enabled or active. Any clues? Any default setting in MW that keeps the original comments? Can it be changed? Or does it probably have to do with the custom bot we’re using? Thanks so much, https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C1QAGY Jeremi Plazas / Assistant Director of Research mailto:jeremi@tsadra.org Tsadra Foundation http://www.tsadra.org https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C0EJDS https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C7A26X https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C8GCJY https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C41CGG https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C6EAVP https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C0QFPM http://www.tsadra.org

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Revision deletion timestamp
by Kartik Kumar Perisetla 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Hi, I was going through the wikipedia dumps [ https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20161020/] and found that the file enwiki-20161020-stub-meta-history1.xml.gz <https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20161020/enwiki-20161020-stub-meta-histo…> contains all revision metadata. The timestamp field in 'revisions' table is for time when revision was created and the field 'rev_deleted' indicates that this revision was deleted. My question is- Where can I find the timestamp at which this revision was deleted ? Could you please provide some inputs on where to find the time at which a revision was deleted using dumps ? Thanks! Kartik

If you mean the line under an article which shows the time the arcitle was changed at last, there is no timezone associated.

Individual page CSS sheets?
by Bart Humphries 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

How would I set up individual CSS sheets for individual pages? Maybe page/css for each page, then I could add a CSS tab to all the pages? Also, how would I go about applying a stylesheet to every page in a particular category? [[Category:X]] = stylesheet1 [[Category:Y]] = stylesheet2 [[Category:X]][[Category:Y]] = stylesheet1 & stylesheet2 So then you'd have (in order) default site/skin CSS, category CSS, page CSS, user CSS.

404 Not Found when moving to a new server
by Jingyi C. Shi 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Dear all, I want to move my MediaWIki site to a new server. All the Ubuntu version, MySQL version, and PHP version are changed. After modifying the LocalSettings.php a little bit, now I can connect to the site via web browser but it shows errors of 404 Not Found. For example, when I go to "http://MyIPAddress/wiki/index.php", the page shows: Not Found The requested URL /wiki/index.php was not found on this server. So, how to address this issue? I have tried "php maintenance/update.php" but it didn't work. Looking forward to your help. Thank you all! Best, Jingyi
