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

Hello,
Is it possible to modify the type of a property declared with Wikibase ?
Thanks,

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.

On my Mediawiki 1.28 installation, I encounter these errors 'Cannot flush
snapshot because writes are pending' with several extensions (EmailToWiki,
HTML2Wiki, DataTransfer)
Here some excerpts from the log-file:

Maybe something is wrong with my installation, so any help is highly
welcome!
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

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.

Seems the Icon no longer works in MediaWIki 1.28.0
Extension:WikiEditor 0.5.0
icon: 'https://site/images/1/18/image.png',
Has anyone found a solution for this issue?
Thanks,

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

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.
Thank you!
