Understanding the generation of thumbs ...
by [[kgh]] 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

Heiya, I would like to understand a bit better how thumbs are generated by MediaWiki with the help of ImageMagick. Basically what I want to achieve is that only 4 thumbs are generated per uploaded file. I figured that "$wgThumbLimits" [0] is the setting to control this so I set: $wgThumbLimits = array( 180, 200, 250, 300 ); I assumed that if the user can only select one of the given sizes I would MediaWiki would only generate thumbs in the sizes defined with the setting. What I however got is thumbs in up to 12 sizes ranging from 120px to 2880px depending on the size of the file uploaded. So this setting is not the one and I did not really find a setting allowing me to control thumb generation. I am kinda lost in thumbs now so any hint will be appreciated ... Cheers Karsten [0] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgThumbLimits

title only search and display
by Denis Hainsworth 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

I've been trying to find the right way to do this, unsure if its easy and if so what the easiest way to go about it would be (api,extension,skin,etc) mediawiki is almost too configurable. Meidawiki with cirrussearch is pretty good, however I miss one big thing from our previous moinmoin setup and thats a quick simple search and display of wiki article titles. What I would like is a button which will take the string from the search field in mediawiki, perform a title search to grab any article with that string in the title and disaply all the articles , titles only, in alphabetic order. Any suggestions if such a thing already exists or what my best avenue to approach this would be given the various ways one can modify mediawiki ? appreciate any thoughts on the topic. we have a fairly small private wiki so this kind of search works really well, for myself at least. -- __________________________ Denis Alan Hainsworth denis.hainsworth(a)gmail.com

Mediawiki and Calendaring
by Hans van den Heuvel 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Hi list, Newbie alert !! I have a question about MediaWiki and calendaring integration and hope this is the correct list to ask ? I work in a technical support organization where we do use MediaWiki to share information between peers globally. Due to progressing requirements, I would like to integrate a calendar within our MediaWiki because of it's flexibility and ease of use for everyone. I have the following requirements : - LDAP user integration. [1] Maintain wiki rights for LDAP users, [2] Restrict calendar rights and maintain the ability to track changes and to revert when needed. - No external access. We do not want to rely on external sites as for example Google for both security and privacy concerns. - Support multiple calendars We need the ability to add multiple calendars to the same wiki in order accommodate different needs for different teams. - Event display Calendar should display an appropriate event field with possibly additional detail. I have looked at some Calendar extensions but not yet found what I am looking for. Are there any MediaWiki Calendar extensions that people here use in similar fashion and/or perhaps can recommend, or have people here built customized wiki-integrated solutions for this type of use ? The consensus could also be we need to look at alternative and perhaps more 'heavy-weight' solutions for this task. Just looking for ideas here, and appreciate your thoughts and insights, since a MediaWIki solution would be preferred. Best regards Hans

Fwd: [Wikitech-l] SHA-1 hash officially broken

Forwarding info that may be of interest. Pine ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brion Vibber <bvibber(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 9:56 AM Subject: [Wikitech-l] SHA-1 hash officially broken To: Wikimedia-tech list <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Google security have announced that they have a working collision attack against the SHA-1 hash: https://security.googleblog.com/2017/02/announcing-first-sha1-collision.html It's highly recommended to move to sha-256 where doable. Note that MediaWiki uses sha-1 in a number of places; in some such as revision hashes it's advisory for tools only, but in other places like deleted files (filearchive table) we use it for addressing, and should consider steps to mitigate attacks swapping in alternate files during deletion/undeletion. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Enforce a minimum article size
by 2007 23 Feb '17

I'd like to prevent users from creating new pages that barely have anything in them. I can't find any options to enforce a minimum article size. There is a variable for the config for a maximum article size but not a minimum. Any suggestions? Thanks A

URLs to Uploaded Files are Being Unintentionally Redirected
by Jordan Barden 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hello all: I have a MediaWiki installation--viewable at "http://www.alecexposed.org/"--that is running MediaWiki 1.27.1, PHP 5.6.27 and MySQL 5.1.56, and have come across a couple of issues that have me stumped. 1. The URLs to some of the uploaded files are redirecting improperly when accessed without the "www." prefix. For example, when I click on http://alecexposed.org/w/images/c/c8/1R10-Right_to_Work_Act_Exposed.pdf, the "www." prefix is appended, as intended, but the "w/images/" portion is being stripped from the URL. I have no clue why this is happening, given the current .htaccess file, the contents of which follow: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^alecexposed\.org$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.alecexposed.org/$1 [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^/?wiki/(.*)$ /w/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^/?wiki/*$ /w/index.php [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^/*$ /w/index.php [L,QSA] 2. Additionally, it appears that some of the uploaded files are not searchable within the list of uploaded files ( http://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles), despite the fact that they do appear in the list. I ran rebuildtextindex.php to rebuild the search index but it did not fix the problem. I'm not sure if these two issues are related or it's just a coincidence that they are occurring simultaneously. Any assistance you can give me is greatly appreciated.
