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

Recent parser change regarding tildes in comments?
by Thomas Dalton 17 Aug '25

17 Aug '25

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.

Developer Wishlist Survey: propose your ideas
by Srishti Sethi 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

That's right! At the Wikimedia Developer Summit, we decided to organize a Developer Wishlist Survey, and here we go: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Wishlist The Wikimedia technical community seeks input from developers for developers, to create a high-profile list of desired improvements. The scope of the survey includes the MediaWiki platform (core software, APIs, developer environment, enablers for extensions, gadgets, templates, bots, dumps), the Wikimedia server infrastructure, the contribution process, and documentation. The best part: we want to have the results published by Wednesday, February 15. Yes, in a month, to have a higher chance to influence the Wikimedia Foundation annual plan FY 2017-18. There's no time to lose. *Propose your ideas before the end of January, * either by pushing existing tasks in Phabricator or by creating new ones. You can find instructions on the wiki page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Wishlist>. Questions and feedback are welcome especially on the related Talk page. The voting phase is expected to start on February 6 (tentative). Watch this space (or even better, the wiki page). Cheers, Srishti Sethi Developer Advocate, Technical Collaboration team Wikimedia Foundation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:SSethi_(WMF)

Update to php 7.0.15 breaking MW 1.23
by Tom 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Hi all, Host updated from php 7.0.x(can’t remember exact but I think it was .14 last time I checked) to 7.0.15 Jan 19 build. MW 1.23.15 was working fine and really fast on php 7 until the update to 7.0.15 overnight. Now I’m seeing this error. [b073b5b0] /wiki/Main_Page Exception from line 1203 of /home/account/public_html/w/includes/parser/Preprocessor_DOM.php: PPFrame_DOM::expand: Invalid parameter type Backtrace: #0 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/parser/Parser.php(3165): PPFrame_DOM->expand(NULL, integer) #1 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/parser/Parser.php(621): Parser->replaceVariables(string) #2 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/parser/Parser.php(4864): Parser->preprocess(string, Title, ParserOptions) #3 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/cache/MessageCache.php(1008): Parser->transformMsg(string, ParserOptions, Title) #4 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/Message.php(977): MessageCache->transform(string, boolean, Language, Title) #5 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/Message.php(669): Message->transformText(string) #6 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/Message.php(732): Message->toString() #7 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/OutputPage.php(857): Message->text() #8 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/OutputPage.php(902): OutputPage->setHTMLTitle(Message) #9 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/Article.php(556): OutputPage->setPageTitle(string) #10 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/actions/ViewAction.php(44): Article->view() #11 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/Wiki.php(487): ViewAction->show() #12 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/Wiki.php(285): MediaWiki->performAction(Article, Title) #13 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/Wiki.php(647): MediaWiki->performRequest() #14 /home/account/public_html/w/includes/Wiki.php(506): MediaWiki->main() #15 /home/account/public_html/w/index.php(46): MediaWiki->run() #16 {main} Anyone else experiencing this on 7.0.15, should I file a bug report, known issue, is there a solution...? I took a quick look but didn't see anything noting 7.0.15 on phabricator. Earlier versions of 7.0.x we're working just fine and have been since early December when I upgraded from php 5.6 to 7. Right now my only solution is to drop back down to 5.6. Thanks Tom
