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 haven't > got a clue why creating a page with the name in it solves this, but it works That page seems to have changed, it now just has a pointer to an article about writing an extension which really doesn't seem to build 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 16 Aug '25

16 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.

Indent Sections feature and Extension status
by Evans, Richard K. (GRC-H000) 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Hello, Hello.. I'd like to have the feature provided by the extension "IndentSections" [1], but I see that it is outdated and I'm concerned about compatibility with MW 1.28.2 and SMW 2.5.2. I understand the core problem of this feature stems from the way mediawiki does not nest divs when rendering a page. My basic question is, ... assuming that the feature is a requirement for me, what is the best way to implement indented sections in MW 1.28? Is the existing extension still the best approach? Or is there another way that this group would recommend? [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IndentSections Thanks! -Rich

Ip address problem with bot password page
by Eddie Monroe 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

MediaWiki 1.29.0 Apache 2.4.27 MySQL 5.6.37 PHP 5.6.31 phpMyAdmin 4.7.2 Python 3.6.2 Pywikibot (whatever the latest from ToolForge is) I recently installed Bitnami mediawiki wamp stack, python and pywikibot with the above versions. It is a local installation running on MS Windows 10. My mediawiki seems to work fine. I can login, create and edit pages. I added a separate bot user but when I go to try to set a password on the Special page for Bot passwords I get the following error: Invalid IP address or range: 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 I have tried every combination of ip addresses I can imagine (inluding the default) 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 but nothing is accepted. I am new to wikis, apache, python and that sort of stuff. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eddie

Where In mediawiki do I insert the code Google provides to initially connect to AsSense? I’ve seen all of the instructions for inserting the actual ads but I can’t find anything on inserting the code to get approved for adsense. Thanks, Mike Bautsch
