Recent parser change regarding tildes in comments?
by Thomas Dalton 01 Mar '26

01 Mar '26

Has the parser just been changed with regards to tildes (~~~~) inside HTML comments? It appears they used to be ignored, and are now suddenly being replaced en masse the next time someone edits the page (and can't be easily reverted - it just changes the sig to the reverter's instead). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2006-06-02-ear… for an example.

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Re: How to create a new Special page
by Bart Q. Simon 26 Nov '25

26 Nov '25

I distinctly remember there was a way to add a title to a special page simply by entering in a URL, then adding the title to the wiki edit field, and then saving. The new "writing a new special page" how-to is very confusing - and it wants me to write PHP to get the title to show up. There was an easier way... I can't find this how-to anywhere- though I'm sure it used to exist. FX can you walk me through how you've added a wiki page title to a special page?

I just figured out how to build a new special page which is like the Uncategorized pages page, but looks at the Image namespace.

Are there any good resources for writing scripts and gadgets
by Arcane 21 25 Nov '25

25 Nov '25

I'm currently trying to adapt several gadgets that are meant for wikis using the Monobook/Vector skins to the Monaco skin, and so far, I've managed to successfully port over the UTC Clock gadget and Sandbox page gadget to Monaco, but aside from those I've been having trouble since, frankly, my knowledge of Javascript/JQuery is slim and I'm not familiar with all the variables used in writing user scripts. I've fairly decent with CSS style sheets, but I still need help with Javascript, so does anyone know of some good resources I could look into, preferably tailored for writing scripts on MediaWiki? Also, if anyone wants to see what I have done so far (and have released publicly), the wiki I have been testing my live gadget/user script code on is here: https://mediawikitesters.orain.org/wiki/Main_Page

Forcing one callback to run after another?
by Daniel Barrett 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

tl;dr: Is it possible to enforce an order on callback functions that are attached to the same hook? Detailed question: I've written a custom extension that modifies Category pages. It creates a subclass of CategoryPage and inserts it using the hook "ArticleFromTitle." It works great on its own, but unfortunately, another popular extension we use, CategoryTree, does exactly the same thing, and it overrides my extension's modifications. I can write my extension to check for the presence of CategoryTree and compensate for it. Unfortunately, MediaWiki 1.28.0 always runs CategoryTree's callback after mine, so no matter what I do, CategoryTree wins. (Strangely, in 1.27, my extension always won.) Is there a way to ensure that my extensions ArticleFromTitle callback runs *after* CategoryTree's callback? Thank you very much. DanB

[Maps] KML-Support
by Martin Brunner 30 Dec '16

30 Dec '16

Hi! We tried to use the lastest maps plugin (former Semantic Maps) to display some KML tracks. But unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone confirm if KML does work again? According to the changelog it should work, but it seems we have two different kind of KML but none of them works. Or is it possible to display any other track format like GPX, etc? Regards Martin

Problem migrating from an old CentOS6/MySQL5 to new CentOS7/MariaDB5.5
by Edilmar LISTAS 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Hi, I already migrated other times from an old server to a new server, but always from MySQL to MySQL, after format and configure a new machine/OS. Today, I installed CentOS7 that comes with MariaDB5.5. I typed my wiki URL (that other times I migrated appeared the page to initiate installation), but it showed me this error: A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading?

Recheck and reverify
by Huji Lee 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Hi, In cases like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/326371 where the tests fail for arbitrary reasons (i.e. there is no issue with the patch set), any user with code review permissions (+1 or +2) can run "recheck" to let the tests run again and pass. If I understand the (very scarce) documentations on Openstack Jenkins, there are then two options to re-initiate the merging process by Zuul. One option is for a person with +2 permission to reapply their +2 code review. The other option is to run "reverify". I tried it on the patch set linked above but nothing happened. I am not sure if it is because I did it wrong, because only those with +2 rights can run it, or because we don't support it at all. So I thought I should ask. Please advise. Huji
