Hey all,
I'm happy to announce the immediate availability of Semantic Maps 3.4. This
release adds support for SMWs record data type and for the Maps tracking
category.
Support for older versions of its dependencies have been dropped. You now
need PHP 5.5 or later, MediaWiki 1.23 or later and Maps 3.8 or later.
Installation and upgrading can be done as usual.
You can find an overview of the changes in the release notes [0] and links
to installation and usage instructions in the readme [1].
This will be the last release of Semantic Maps as a dedicated extension.
It's features are being merged into the Maps extension, and will be
available there with the Maps 4.0 release.

Hi,
I'm very excited to announce that Debian and Ubuntu packages for
MediaWiki are now available. These packages will follow the MediaWiki
LTS schedule and currently contain 1.27.1. If you've always wanted to
"sudo apt install mediawiki", then this is for you :)
For Debian users, you can get the mediawiki package for Jessie from the
official Debian repositories using jessie-backports, and it will be
included in the upcoming Stretch release.
Ubuntu users will need to enable a PPA for Xenial or Trusty to set up
the package.
Instructions, links, and help can all be found at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/Packages>. Please let me
know if you have any questions or feedback.
Finally, thanks to Luke Faraone, Faidon Liambotis, Moritz Mühlenhoff,
Max Semenik, Chad Horohoe, Antoine Musso, and all of the beta testers of
the package for making this a reality.

Hi,
I'm running a little pool wiki for files, a data wiki for, well data,
and several language wikis (MediaWiki 1.27.1).
Users টিল and Till have accounts on enwiki. I can create a local user
টিল on poolwiki via createLocalAccount.php with no problems. I also can
create a local user Till on datawiki without any trouble, but when I try
to create টিল on datawiki, I'm getting the following error:
A database query error has occurred.
Query: SELECT
gu_id,gu_name,lu_wiki,gu_salt,gu_password,gu_auth_token,gu_locked,gu_hidden,gu_registration,gu_email,gu_email_authenticated,gu_home_db,gu_cas_token
FROM `globaluser` LEFT OUTER JOIN `localuser` ON ((gu_name=lu_name) AND
lu_wiki = 'datawiki') WHERE gu_name = 'টিল' LIMIT 1
Function: CentralAuthUser::loadState
Error: 1267 Illegal mix of collations (latin1_bin,IMPLICIT) and
(utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '=' (127.0.0.1)
Table globaluser on database centralauth looks like this:
| Field | Type | Collation |
+------------------------------+------------------+-------------------+
| gu_id | int(11) | NULL |
| gu_name | varchar(255) | latin1_bin |
| gu_enabled | varchar(14) | latin1_swedish_ci |
| gu_enabled_method | enum('opt-in', | latin1_swedish_ci |
| |'batch','auto', | |
| |'admin') | |
| gu_home_db | varchar(255) | latin1_bin |
| gu_email | varchar(255) | latin1_bin |
| gu_email_authenticated | char(14) | latin1_bin |
| gu_salt | varchar(16) | latin1_bin |

| gu_password_reset_expiration | varchar(14) | latin1_bin |
| gu_auth_token | varbinary(32) | NULL |
| gu_cas_token | int(10) unsigned | NULL |
I tried to do things like ALTER TABLE `globaluser` MODIFY
`gu_password_reset_expiration` varchar(14) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE
utf8_bin; but that doesn't work with gu_name:
ERROR 1071 (42000): Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes
I can do gu_name varchar(200), but I'm probably not supposed to do that.
I also can change gu_name varchar(255) to utf8_bin in a freshly created
centralauth database, but not in the one that is already populated with
my users.
Exporting the old centralauth database, changing gu_name to utf8_bin in
an editor and importing it, doesn't work either: same error as mentioned
above.
How can I fix this?
I'm running MariaDB 10.0.25 which seem to use XtraDB by default. Would
it help to switch to InnoDB?
And: my latest language wikis have $wgDBTableOptions = "ENGINE=InnoDB,
DEFAULT CHARSET=binary"; so I changed the old wikis from
$wgDBTableOptions = "TYPE=InnoDB"; in LocalSettings.php to the
settings of the new wikis. I don't know if that's a problem.
Aside from the problems mentioned above, should I change every database
and table of the old wikis from latin1_bin to utf8_bin, so that they are
in line with the new MediaWiki installations?
Any help is more than welcome!
Thanks and cheers,
Till

I've just finished writing an article and I wanted to ask you to take a look at it aand tell me your opinion about it, please read the whole article here <http://tendency.tacomakaraoke.com/e6ceznmn>

Hi,
I've found an interesting place with a lot of nice stuff, just check it out <http://ros.jkmerrill.org/e6achky>
Thanks for your consideration, webmaster
Thank you for the suggestion. Since we have already updated to MW1.26, I did not see that extension as a good solution. Since we would have to revert back to 1.25, install the extension, and then upgrade again. Is this the only solution available currently to revive page counts? Is there a way to find this information in the database itself?

Is there a way to obtain the page views for articles on MW1.26? In the previous versions, the page views would be listed on the bottom of the page.
I know the stats were removed after 1.25, but I am wondering if there is another way (through MySQL?) to find it. I do have access to SSH. Thanks.
Andrew

Are you using one of these two, or something else?
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:DateInputWidgethttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:DateTimeInputWidget
Both of those worked for me for selecting older years (the first was tested via Commons' UploadWizard, the second via the API Sandbox).
More context/detail/links might help. :-)

Hi,
Sorry I didn't respond to this before. For anyone who's wondering, Stefan is asking about the "datepicker" input type from the Semantic Forms
extension:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Input_types/Datepic…
It in turn gets its functionality from the jQuery UI library's "Datepicker"
module:
https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#dropdown-month-year
Stefan - it's true that the year dropdown only shows a 10-year range around the currently-selected year - i.e. 2006 to 2026 - which is annoying.
However, what you can do is select 2006, then open the dropdown again and the earliest selectable year will now be 1996, and then keep going like that.
That's also annoying to do, and a lot of users probably won't even realize that it's possible. What I would strongly recommend is to instead use the default "date" input type, which is better for historical dates - "datepicker" is really only intended for picking dates around the present time.

I'm attempting to upgrade to 1.27.1
After getting through some extension issues the page appears to load then disappears and no errors other than this in the apache log
