Re: [MediaWiki-l] Women Tech Storm

> I wonder what the general reaction would be to a men only hackathon ? Probably disbelief followed by ridicule since this is 2018 and we’re still hearing preposterous arguments like this one. Yours, Chris K.

Parsoid (Heroku) & Mediawiki
by support＠comprofix.com 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hi Guys, We have been running Private MediaWiki with VisualEditor and using Parsoid provided by a Heroku instance for some time and this has worked with out an issue. We recently needed to move our Wiki to a new host and change the hosting URL (this part may be important). So I updated my $wgServer & $wgScriptPath with the new domain and path. I then spun up a new Heroku Instance for this new url. I also updated the $wgVirtualRestConfig url for the new Heroku App. Now when testing and attempting to edit a page checking the log on Heroku I receive the following error: "Your wiki requires a logged-in account to access the API." If I make the wiki public readable the editor, change $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; to $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true; the editor works fine. The only thing that has changed as mentioned is we have moved to a new host and we moved from a subdomain to a folder. So we have gone from wiki.example.net to www.example.net/wiki. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks. Matthew

Using JQuery in a tag extension
by Sigbert Klinke 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hi, I try to use JQuery code in tag extension. Following the manuals I added in extension.json: "ResourceModules": { "ext.Iframe" : { "scripts": [ "modules/ext.Iframe.js" ] } }, in my main.php file: class IFrame { public static function renderIframe( $str, array $argv, Parser $parser, PPFrame $frame ) { ... $parser->mOutput->addModules('ext.Iframe'); ... } ... } and my modules/ext.Iframe.js looks like: jquery(document).ready(function ($) { $(document.body).append("Hello World!"); }); I would have expected to see a "Hello World!" at the end of my wiki page, but nothing appears. So I missed something. Any ideas what? Thanks in advance Sigbert -- https://hu.berlin/sk https://hu.berlin/mmstat3

Upload API Error Handling
by George, Garrett J. (JSC-CB111)[SGT, INC] 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Hey all, I'm trying to get as much error handling coverage as possible with my extension. However, I can't find anything online regarding the possible errors for an image upload. I can find generic errors but nothing specific to the upload API. I've only been able to encounter warnings for duplicate name and file. I imagine there are some that deal specifically with the upload process, I implemented chunked uploading, and some of them I'd like to have a specific error message for. Thanks, Garrett

Problems installing mediawiki, please, help!
by Sharon Kimble 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

I'm trying to set up a localhost-only wiki for development which will not be web-facing. I've been following here [1] and also [2], and have got as far as 'Configure MediaWiki', and navigating to http://localhost and there I'm stuck. The browser shows - ╭──── │MediaWiki 1.30.0 │ │LocalSettings.php not found. │ │Please set up the wiki first. ╰──── But every time that I click on 'set up the wiki' it takes me to 'http://localhost/mw-config/index.php' and an "Error code 500". This is where I've installed mediawiki - /var/www/html/mediawiki Please someone, tell me where I'm going wrong and get me back working properly again. Thanks Sharon.

Wikibase/Wikidata: finding property value links
by Huji Lee 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi, I asked this on the Cloud mailing list[1] and got some useful advice but am still looking for a better answer. Apologies for cross-posting. Take [2] as an example. We see that in this page, the entity Q2113430 has a property called GeoNames ID (property P1566) and that property has a value of 18918. *Where can I find the link *between Q2113430 <--> P1566 <--> 18918 *in the database?* (Not through the API, but via a direct SQL query on the database) The idea is to get a list of all these triads to use for some investigation needed for [3]. Thanks in advance, Huji [1] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/cloud/2018-March/000244.html [2] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2113430 [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174553

Multiple foreign file repos for one wiki
by [[kgh]] 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Heiya, just a quick question. Let's assume that I set up mulitple foreign file repos for my wiki. What happens when e.g. two of them contain a file with the same name? Will the wiki a) error out, b) show nothing, c) show the first file it finds d) show an arbitrary file from the set if finds or ... Thanks for your insight. Cheers, Karsten

Wiki slowing down and becoming unresponsive
by Sebastian Berlin 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

We're having issues with a MW installation that gets very slow when multiple users are logged in simultaneously. After a while the wiki becomes unresponsive and in some cases gives HTTP error 500. This has occurred with as few as three users logged in at once. The wiki was installed on a Windows server 2016-server, following this guide: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki_on_Windows_Serve…. My first thought was that there was too little server resources, but when I looked at the task manager, CPU was fairly consistently between 5 and 25% (there were a few spikes) and the RAM was steady at around 50%. MW version is 1.30.0. I have turned on logging (following these instructions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug#Logging), but I can't find any obvious cause for this behaviour. I have compiled a list of messages that looks suspicious here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P6814. I didn't want to post the whole log since the logging instructions had security warnings about this. Any help with how to proceed finding the cause for this and fixing it would be much appreciated. All the best, *Sebastian Berlin* Utvecklare/*Developer* Wikimedia Sverige (WMSE) E-post/*E-Mail*: sebastian.berlin(a)wikimedia.se Telefon/*Phone*: (+46) 0707 - 92 03 84
