Wikibase on third-party wikis
by Till Kraemer 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi, I'm trying to use Wikibase on my pool wiki and language wikis. In my pool wiki, I can create properties and items, but I can't add site links to them. ID: "Q1", site id: "cswiki", site link: "article name" gives me the error "The specified article could not be found on the corresponding site." even though that article exists on cswiki. I also can't access data from the language wikis. If I use {{#property:P1}} in an article on cswiki, nothing shows up. I downloaded Wikidata-refs-heads-master.tar.gz and extracted it to the extension folder of my pool wiki and language wikis. My LocalSettings.php of the pool wiki looks like this: # Wikibase $wgEnableWikibaseRepo = true; $wgEnableWikibaseClient = false; $wmgUseWikibaseRepo = true; $wmgUseWikibaseClient = false; require_once __DIR__ . "/extensions/Wikidata/Wikidata.php"; require_once __DIR__ . "/extensions/Wikidata/extensions/Wikibase/repo/ExampleSettings.php"; # SiteMatrix Extension require_once "$IP/extensions/SiteMatrix/SiteMatrix.php"; $wgLocalDatabases = array( 'cswiki', 'dewiki', 'enwiki', 'eswiki', 'frwiki', 'huwiki', 'hywiki', 'itwiki', 'nlwiki', 'plwiki', 'poolwiki', 'ptwiki', 'ruwiki', 'srwiki', 'svwiki' ); My LocalSettings.php of the language wikis (cs for example) look like this: # Wikibase Extension $wgEnableWikibaseRepo = false; $wgEnableWikibaseClient = true; $wmgUseWikibaseRepo = false; $wmgUseWikibaseClient = true; require_once __DIR__ . "/extensions/Wikidata/Wikidata.php"; # Settings $wgWBSettings['repoUrl'] = 'http://pool.mypedia.com'; $wgWBSettings['repoScriptPath'] = '/w'; $wgWBSettings['repoArticlePath'] = '/wiki/$1'; $wgWBSettings['siteGlobalID'] = 'cswiki'; $wgWBSettings['repoDatabase'] = 'poolwiki'; $wgWBSettings['changesDatabase'] = 'poolwiki'; # Optional $wgWBSettings['siteGroup'] = 'mypedia'; $wgWBSettings['sort'] = 'code'; //optional $wgWBSettings['sortPrepend'] = array( 'cs' ); In populateSitesTable.php, I changed "https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php" to "http://pool.mypedia.com/w/api.php" and "$validGroups = array( 'wikipedia', 'wikivoyage', 'wikiquote', 'wiktionary','wikibooks', 'wikisource', 'wikiversity', 'wikinews' );" to "$validGroups = array( 'mypedia' );" Do I need to change "$wikiId = $this->getOption( 'wiki' );" too, since it says "wiki" is expanded to "wikipedia"? Table "sites" in the poolwiki database looks like this: site_id | site_global_key | site_type | site_group | site_source | site_language | site_protocol | site_domain | site_data | site_forward | site_config 1 | cswiki | mediawiki | mypedia | local | cs | http:// | com.mypedia.cs. | a:1:{s:5:"paths";a:2:{s:9:"file_path";s:5:"/w/$1";s:9:"page_path";s:8:"/wiki/$1";}} | 0 | a:0:{} [...] 15 | poolwiki | mediawiki | pool | local | en | http:// | com.mypedia.pool. | a:1:{s:5:"paths";a:2:{s:9:"file_path";s:5:"/w/$1";s:9:"page_path";s:8:"/wiki/$1";}} | 0 | a:0:{} I changed site_group "wikipedia" to "mypedia" and added data for site_protocol and site_domain by hand. I noticed that the script path is "/w/$1" here, while $wgScriptPath in LocalSettings.php is actually "/w", could that cause any problems? And should I change site_group of the pool to mypedia like I did with the language wikis or isn't that necessary? Wikibase DataModel 0.8, Wikibase Repository 0.5 alpha, WikibaseLib 0.5 alpha and Wikidata show up in Special:Version of the pool wiki. Wikibase Client 0.5 alpha, Wikibase DataModel 0.8, WikibaseLib 0.5 alpha and Wikidata show up in Special:Version of the language wikis. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks and cheers, Till

File descriptions aren't fetched
by Till Kraemer 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi, I'm running multiple language wikis and one pool wiki. The problem is that no file descriptions are fetched in the language wikis although $wgFetchCommonsDescriptions is set to true. LocalSettings.php of the language wikis: $wgUseSharedUploads = true; $wgSharedUploadPath = 'http://pool.example.com/w/images'; $wgSharedUploadDirectory = '/path/to/pool/w/images/'; $wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true; $wgFetchCommonsDescriptions = true; $wgSharedUploadDBname = 'poolwiki'; # DB-Name of PoolWiki #$wgSharedUploadDBprefix = 'wiki_'; # Table name prefix for PoolWiki $wgRepositoryBaseUrl = "http://pool.example.com/wiki/Image:"; ForeignAPIRepo used to work fine before, but since I switched from Apache to Nginx, no images show up anymore in the language wikis. This is how my LocalSettings.php used to look like: $wgForeignFileRepos[] = array( 'class' => 'ForeignAPIRepo', 'name' => 'pool', 'apibase' => 'http://pool.example.com/w/api.php', 'fetchDescription' => true, // Optional 'descriptionCacheExpiry' => 43200, // 12 hours, optional (values are seconds) 'apiThumbCacheExpiry' => 0, // required for local thumb caching ); I also tried to set 'name' => 'poolwiki', (name of the pool database) but that doesn't work either. I also re-started Memcached and I even deleted a file description page from the CloudFlare cache, but still no file description can be seen :/ My software: MediaWiki: 1.22.0 PHP: 5.3.27 (fpm-fcgi) MySQL: 5.1.70-log Any help would be über-cool. Thanks and cheers, Till

Increasing API 'ask' query limit
by Green, Steven 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hello, This is my first post, so hopefully this works! Anyway, would someone be kind enough to explain what I need to do to increase the number of results returned through an API 'ask' query? I have a script wherein I invoke the API 'ask' function to return page titles from a certain category that also contain a specific SMW attribute. The query works fine, but only returns 50 page titles (max) when I know it should be returning something over 600 titles. I have tried adding 'limit => 1000' to the query (which I know could use in an #ask inline query within a page) but seems to have no effect. The script itself is running under a user that has all rights (except bureaucrat). What am I missing here? Regards, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ steven.green(a)tdsinc.com<mailto:steven.green@tdsinc.com> What can be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. C.Hitchens

Introduction to Extension:EditNotify
by Abhi Nand 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hi everyone, The coding period for Google Summer of Code ended a few days back, and I am so happy to announce the new extension which I was working for the last couple of months. I had tried my best to make the extension as good as possible under the mentor-ship of Yaron Koren. So far I have been really enjoying my journey with MediaWiki. I have picked out a few features which makes the extension special. This extension makes use of Echo extension to notify the subscribed users of specific events. The events include creation of new pages, editing of pages, change in specific template field and change in specific template field to template value. Users can keep track of a particular namespace or category or get notified of these events in all pages. Users can receives notification as both alert message and email. Users can also keep track for all changes which notifies them of every edit. The create page notification is limited for all pages, thus it cannot be used in a particular namespace or category. For the extension to work, an array should be added to LocalSettings.php, in which usernames can be added to get notified for various events. You can read more about the extension at Extension:EditNotify [0]. In addition, we are planning to implement the user interface for the users to sign up for the events. I am very fortunate to be a part of this community, although I am a newbie in here. I am planning to stick with MediaWiki and contribute more to the organisation in future as well. Thanks to all those who have helped me out when I was stuck. My heartfelt gratitude to my mentor, Yaron for his time, support and guidance, without which I could never have completed the project. :) [0] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EditNotify Regards -- Abhinand N About <http://www.abhinand7.me/> | Blog <https://abhilovesto.wordpress.com/> | Github <https://github.com/abhinand4858> *"Explore.Dream.Discover"*

git release branches
by John 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Can we get a repo for each major release that contains core, skins, and all extensions in a single checkout? Right now I am updating and with all of the sub modules, I am running into issues where I cant set a branch on the extensions/ repo for REL 1_27 and get all extensions as of that branching, Instead I am forced to go thru one by one and manually set it, if and only if a given extension has said branch set, otherwise I am out of luck. Getting everything together would cause a larger checkout, but keeps things together for those who want to pick and choose.

Page move results in deletion
by Huji Lee 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Hi Formrely, when you moved a page to a new title that is a redirect with no other history, the history would move over and the first page would become a redirect. Recently I noticed that this results in *deleting* the target page first, i.e. a deletion log is created. It is interesting that users without delete right (i.e. not sysop) can also do this and generate deletion logs. Is this a new change? I cannot backtrack it in code. I am not sure if letting non-deleters generating delete logs is a good idea. Huji

Managing updates of Mediawiki with git (?)
by Dr. Michael Bonert 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Are there any thoughts on managing updates of Mediawiki with git? I'm not a developer... but I have flirted with the idea a bit. I program occasionally here and there-- though my day job is totally unrelated. I have played with git and I have a couple of Mediawiki installs that are running from installs via git. I like that I can roll forward and roll back easily. Updates of the wiki in theory should be: ---- pathofwiki# git checkout 1.26.4 pathofwiki# php maintenance/update.php ---- What is opaque to me is the submodules. The skins, extensions and external libraries have to be updated with two or three commands... this is missing. I think it stems from gaps in my knowledge about git. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Download_an_extension suggests: --- cd path/to/extensions git pull git submodule update --init --recursive --- --- If I try the above I get... cd path/to/extensions # git pull You are not currently on a branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details. git pull <remote> <branch> --- Branch info # git branch * (detached from 1.26.4) master --- # git submodule update --init --recursive seems to do nothing Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to something like "git for amateurs"? Thanks in Advance, Michael
