Hello Everyone,
I am trying to make or find a MediaWiki template that will take a
category and fill in a table on the main page of a site in one column.
The table will have a second column that will contain external urls.
Hello,
I have been running Mediawiki and updating with git - general outline here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Keeping_up_to_date
On update I pull recent versions of:
(1) mediawiki, (2) the extensions, (3) the skins, and (4) the external
libraries
with git.
I then run 'update' from the command line ( php maintenance/update.php ).
One issue I encountered is that: the extensions don't update right away - as
per the page 'Special:Version'.
Is there a simple way to reload the extensions?
Is it caching?
Any help/ideas on this would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Michael

I have several templates that I have copied from Wikipedia etc. Some of
them have a curious command such as {{/info}} what is throwing me off
is the / in the template call. I can not find any reference as to exactly
what that is supposed to do. It usually ends up with no results. Anyone<
please advise if you are aware of how this is supposed to work etc.
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a question that may be similar to G. Moko's post on December 19th
regarding "Dump of Recent Changes".
I have a private enterprise wiki that currently has some external users
that have been granted read-only access. I have been asked to remove these
external users from the wiki, but they need access to some of the content.
What is the best way to handle this? Extensions? Separate wiki that
automatically updates from the main using dumps (like G. Moko's post) and
some filtering (flagged pages, etc.)?
I'm considering adding the collection extension [1]. The content that needs
to be shared could be added and maintained by the collection and
daily/weekly pdf books could be distributed (possibly via Dropbox).
I welcome any thoughts on or suggestions. Thanks!
Regards,
Bryan

This afternoon, while procrastinating by cleaning up my clone of
gerrit's mediawiki extensions repository, I decided to make a meta
repository for some non-WMF-hosted extensions. (Hopefully this will
mean less need to clean up the clone in the future.)
I got some low-hanging fruit to start it off, but I'm hoping I can get
some pull requests to add more repositories.

Thanks,
Mark.

Hi Everyone,
We are working through an issue with Syntax Highler extension.
Highlighting fails, and the wiki page in question states "Pages with
syntax highlighting errors". It is fairly obvious there's an error
condition somewhere.
When we check the error log there's nothing present. The only thing
present is the server restart (which baffles me since this is not an
error):
$ tail -n 8 /var/log/httpd24/error_log
[Fri Dec 22 20:54:04.238747 2017] [http2:warn] [pid 13535]
AH10034: The mpm module (prefork.c) is not supported by mod_http2. The
mpm determines how things are processed in your server. HTTP/2 has
more demands in this regard and the currently selected mpm will just
not do. This is an advisory warning. Your server will continue to
work, but the HTTP/2 protocol will be inactive.

How do we trouble shoot this further? What do folks do when errors are
silently swallowed and no messages are logged?

Hi Everyone,
We are working on CentOS 7 with PHP 7.1.8. We recently upgraded to
MediaWiki 1.30.
This should be my last question. We are re-adding skins and
extensions. When running update.php we encounter:
MediaWiki 1.30.0 Updater
PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in
/var/www/html/w/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1507
PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in
/var/www/html/w/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1507
Searching for the issue is turing up small stuff, like
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-notice-undefined-index-server_name-…
. I found https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Stowqzxlreejgel2 and it
tells me to to use php_uname("n"), but I'm not sure what I am supposed
to do with it.
Is this something we need to worry about or take action for? Maybe add
php_uname("n") to LocalSettings.php? Something else?
(The hostname is pretty messed up because its a hosted environment.
The assigned hostname is "ftpit", but this machine is for a website
and wiki so it can use a domain name).
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
Hi Everyone,
We just finished a MediaWiki 1.30 migration. The iron is CentOS 7
x86_64 VM with PHP 7.8.1 and MariaDB 5.5.56.
According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDBmysql5 it
looks like we no longer need wgDBmysql5 in LocalSettings.php.
Do we still need wgDBmysql5?
Jeff
We are working on CentOS 7 x86_64 fully patched. We have SCL enabled
so Apache 2.4.58, PHP 7.1.8 and MariaDB 5.5.56 are being used.
We are trying to upgrade from MediaWiki 1.26 to 1.30. We are following
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading. We have been catching
database errors so we are trying to run update.php per
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:U26n1a1pgo0078tt (the update.php
step is missing from Manual:Upgrading, so we did not run it first).
The update is failing due to a syntax error. The "-8" below appears to
be related to literal UTF-8. We are not sure how to proceed.
We also noticed a message "Database.php: A database query error has
occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema
updater after upgrading?". A database schema updater is not discussed
at Manual:Upgrading, so we are not sure what to do.
We found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35631265/mysql-error-1064-default-chara…
, but the answer does not provide enough details for us to take
action.
Any help in getting our wiki back online would be greatly appreciated.
