Dynamic Parsoid configuration
by Robert Vogel 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hello everybody! Some time ago, I asked this question on the Wikimedia Development Support forums [1], but unfortunately nobody answered. Mabye here on the mailing list someone can help me. I want to change the configuration of the Parsoid service dynamically, without modifying the `config.yaml`/`localsettings.js` and restarting the service. My use case is simple: I need _one_ Parsoid to serve multiple MediaWikis instances. And I need to be able to add new instances without the need to reconfigure/restart Parsoid everytime. The logic would be "If the calling MediaWiki instance sends 'ABC' as a prefix, the API url of that instance will be 'https://myserver/wikis/ABC/api.php'". I have the strong feeling that overriding the `parsoidConfig` object in `localsettings.js` will be the way to go. Am I on the right track? Your hints and suggestions are much appreciated.

Improving the mediawiki.org frontpage
by Andre Klapper 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

Hi, I'd like to discuss potential improvements to www.mediawiki.org (the front page itself), both regarding content and presentation, as I see several issues with the current page. I propose to discuss this in several stages: * Defining audiences, * defining content per group, * defining presentation and layout. My main intention are improvements to allow our audiences to better find the relevant information that they are looking for. We might not be able to make everything perfect but we can certainly try to make it better? If this sounds interesting, please take a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki/Homepage_improvements_2018 and let's discuss on the corresponding discussion page and work on this? Thank you! andre -- Andre Klapper | Bugwrangler / Developer Advocate https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/

"apierror-visualeditor-docserver-http" when trying to save in Visual Editor
by Osterlund, Magnus 24 Sep '18

When I edit a page with Visual Editor and try to save, I get a HTTP 404 apierror-visualeditor-docserver-http. It have been working before, but now when I try to set up RESTBase, it doesn't works anymore.

Do you use the mediawiki-core (no bundled extensions/skins) tarball?
by Kunal Mehta 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

Hi, While preparing the last MediaWiki security release, we (Reedy & I) noticed that the mediawiki-core variant of the tarball that doesn't include the bundled extensions/skins is treated differently than the normal tarball. So we have two questions that will help us prioritize future release process improvements. If you don't use the special mediawiki-core tarball, you can ignore the rest of this message. 1. Briefly, why do you use the mediawiki-core tarball instead of the standard tarball that includes extensions/skins? 2. Would you benefit from having a patch file (example[1]), like the one we currently generate for the standard mediawiki tarball? Replies on or off list are fine. This is mostly an informal survey, we don't have any plans yet and are mostly trying to gauge usage first.

External links page previews
by George 22 Sep '18

22 Sep '18

Hi, I have mediawiki latest version running on my domain. I was trying to enable page previews that are descrined here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_Previews The first problem I encountered is that there's no Enable/Disable previews option at the buttom of the pages/site and there's no option to enable/disable that in the preferences for user accounts. So I have solved this by installing the Populs extencion from: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups I now have page previews enabled for internal links. Now I am trying to enable the same page previews for interwiki links and other external links that I have all over my wiki. Is this at all possible and how do I do it? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Upgrade to MW 1.31.0 fails on maintenance/update.php
by Jeff Darlington 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

My current setup, under which MW is running swimmingly: Fedora 27 Apache 2.4.33 MariaDB 10.2.14 MediaWiki 1.30.0 I am attempting to upgrade to MW 1.31.0. I unzipped the tarball into a fresh directory, copied over my LocalSettings.php file, and changed the symlink that I use with Apache to point to the new location. I then attempted to run maintenance/update.php and it cryptically ended with a whimper: ==================== MediaWiki 1.31.0 Updater Your composer.lock file is up to date with current dependencies! Going to run database updates for wikidb Depending on the size of your database this may take a while! Abort with control-c in the next five seconds (skip this countdown with --quick) ... 0 Turning off Content Handler DB fields for this part of upgrade. Adding ipb_id field to table ipblocks ...Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; and $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information. ==================== I added the suggested flags to LocalSettings and got the following in my browser: ==================== [WyJ-joCjti3zg1lzHPXHqQAAAAM] /wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1457 of /var/www/gpf/mediawiki-1.31.0/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred.

Nothing has changed to my configuration (and probably to the wiki's contents) since I successfully upgraded to 1.30.0. If I switch my symlink back to point to my MW 1.30.0 install, the site loads just fine. So it appears the updater is bombing when it tries to add the field "ipb_id" to table "ipblocks". What confuses me is the "SELECT command denied to user 'wikiuser'@'localhost'" error. My wiki has two MariaDB users: "wikuser" (the standard user set in $wgDBuser) and an admin user set with $wgDBadminuser. Neither user account has changed, either in the DB or in LocalSettings. It *almost* looks like the updater is trying to use the standard user to do admin functions, but even that doesn't make much sense. "wikiuser" has SELECT access to all tables in the DB, while the admin user has all permissions to the entire DB. So I don't see why that specific error would crop up; even "wikiuser" should be able to perform a simple SELECT. Fortunately, I can switch back to MW 1.30.0 pretty easily, but I thought I ought to report the problem. ADDENDUM: I just noticed the following in the 1.31 release notes: ==================== Important pre-upgrade notes for 1.31 - If you're using MySQL, SQLite, or MSSQL, are not using update.php to apply schema changes, and cannot have downtime to run migrateArchiveText.php and apply patch-drop-ar_text.sql manually, you'll have to apply a default value to the ar_text and ar_flags columns of the archive table or make those columns nullable before upgrading to MediaWiki 1.31. maintenance/archives/patch-nullable-ar_text.sql shows how to do this for MySQL. ==================== Based on this, I think there's something screwy with update.php. I *am* using update.php to apply schema changes, but I'm guessing it's not working correctly. I have *not* tried this manual fix (and would prefer not to unless absolutely necessary). Jeffrey T.

Security release: 1.27.5 / 1.29.3 / 1.30.1 / 1.31.1
by Sam Reed 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.31.1, 1.30.1, 1.29.3 and 1.27.5! These releases fix 4 security issues in core and also includes some previously committed to git minor security and hardening patches. Download links are given at the end of this email. Patches will be pushed to Gerrit after this email is sent, and will land into the relevant branches as fast as our CI infrastructure allows. Git tags will follow soon after. All related tasks will be made public in Phabricator too in the following few hours. Please note that July 2018 was the End-Of-Life date for MediaWiki 1.29. This means that MediaWiki 1.29.3 will be the last security release for that version, barring any unforeseen issues. We would strongly encourage users of MediaWiki 1.29 to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.31, released in June 2018, or a yet newer version as soon as possible. MediaWiki 1.31 will be supported until July 2021. See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle> for more information. The patch files for this release are larger than normal as we are switching to a new release script that more aggressively removes dotfiles and other development files. Extensions missing from previous releases have been re-added, and unnecessary dependancies in vendor have been removed. This release also serves as a maintenance release for these branches. == Security fixes == * (T169545, CVE-2018-0503) $wgRateLimits entry for 'user' overrides 'newbie'. * (T194605, CVE-2018-0505) BotPasswords can bypass CentralAuth's account lock. Reported by Rxy. * (T187638, CVE-2018-0504) When a log event is (partially) hidden Special:Redirect/logid can link to the incorrect log and reveal hidden information. Reported by JJMC89. * (T193237) Special:BotPasswords should require reauthenticate. No CVE was issued since this is a hardening measure. The following only affects the 1.31 tarball: * (T199029, CVE-2018-13258) Tarball was missing .htaccess files. == Links to all mentioned tasks == * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169545 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194605 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187638 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193237 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199029 == Release notes == Full release notes for 1.27.5: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_27/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.27 Full release notes for 1.29.3: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_29/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.29 Full release notes for 1.30.1: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_30/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.30 Full release notes for 1.31.1: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_31/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.31 For information about how to upgrade, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading> ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.27/mediawiki-1.27.5.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.27/mediawiki-core-1.27.5.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.27.4): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.27/mediawiki-1.27.5.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.27/mediawiki-core-1.27.5.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.27/mediawiki-1.27.5.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.27/mediawiki-1.27.5.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.3.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-core-1.29.3.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.29.2): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.3.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-core-1.29.3.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.3.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.3.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.30/mediawiki-1.30.1.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.30/mediawiki-core-1.30.1.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.30.0): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.30/mediawiki-1.30.1.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.30/mediawiki-core-1.30.1.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.30/mediawiki-1.30.1.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.30/mediawiki-1.30.1.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.1.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-core-1.31.1.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.31.0): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.1.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-core-1.31.1.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.1.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.1.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html
