Please does anyone have any idea regarding the answer to my question ??
I have a previously working wiki using the Collection Extension, and it renders PDF based upon our own
Renderer, which is a separate machine. It's still working great outside of our new single-sign on proxy.
However, my Company has implemented a single-sign on proxy where all of the traffic between my server
and the rendering machine will go back and forth through the proxy.
Does anyone know if it is even possible for the Collection Extension to work with a proxy ? Mine is broke in
that situation, and I'm wondering if it can be fixed, or if there's a technical reason why it wouldn't work through
a proxy.
Thank you for your professional opinion.

Forwarding because I think that this announcement might be of interest on
other lists too.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] New Request for Comment: Skin templating
To: <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all!
I have recently started a new RFC on revamping how skins are created, to
improve usability in creating skins, extend skins with new UI (in
Extensions), and give more power and flexibility for system administrators
to customise skins for their own sites without causing undue burden on
upgrades.
Details are on the RFC page on mediawiki.org, linked below. I welcome all
comments and questions, as I believe that these changes will greatly
improve the current state of our skin system. I prefer that comments and
questions are collected on the mediawiki.org page so that we can keep them
all in one place, but I’ll answer anything here as well 😊

I have a problem with sending emails.
The email has been sent but blocked as spam. This is how I see that Log
files are written, if I understand correctly.
There is also a problem sending from user to user, and also from the system
to the user (such as sending a verification code to the email).
What are the solutions to this? (Prefer not to use Mailgun).
Thanks.
Hello,
I am trying to update my company's Wiki page to the latest update you have (1.32.0). There is a download file but I need some assistance on how to execute the download. I read through the guide but still a little confused. Is this something you could assist me with?
I contacted another department that directed me here, see referenced [Ticket#2019021810008303]
Hi alltogether,
I hope this is the correct mailing list, please excuse if it is not (and
excuse my English, please).
I run a private Wiki and I am trying to create an extension where the user
can enter the title and some content in a form, similar to the extension
InputBox https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox (you cannot enter
page content into the form created by this extension).
I studied the code of several extensions and created something like this:
#*** begin code ***
$pageTitleText = "my new wikipage";
$pageTitle = Title::newFromText( $pageTitleText );
$pageContentText = "my new page content";
$pageContent = new WikitextContent( $pageContentText );
$newWikiPage->doEditContent( $pageContent, $pageContent, EDIT_NEW );
#*** end code ***
Actually this is not working and creates an internal error.
I tried something different
#*** begin code ***
#...
$me = User::newFromSession();
$newWikiPage->doCreate($pageContent,EDIT_NEW,$me,"summary",array());
#*** end code ***
This code creates an internal error, too. array() should be an array with
meta-information which I could not figure out until now.
I have studied the internal documentian
https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/REL1_31/php/ and the code of
several exentions, and now I am lost in classes and PHP-Code, maybe someone
can help me out?
Thank you for reading this,
Manuela

Hi mailinglist
**
*I am having troubles with the time to first byte (TTFB) on a newly
deployed Mediawiki in a Docker image.*
*
With a freshly booted Image (w/o extensions), the initial TTFB is very
high. (Browser: ~5s , Google Page Speed: ~3s). When i refresh the Page
in the Browser or in the Page Speed test, the page is delivered quite
fast. After not doing anything for about 30 mins, it is very slow again.
I disabled all caching mechanisms and could still reproduce this
behavior, so i looked in the DB, if there are still some caching
actions. It seems, things stored in the table objectcache have a TTL, so
i am trying out some combinations of file cache with prefilled page
caches and php APCu.
I am using the official Docker Image based on MW 1.32 (apache with mod
php 7.2) and i modified it to use a couple of extensions. It runs in a
kubernetes environment on the Google Cloud Platform and the DB Backend
is a Google Cloud SQL instance with MySQL 5.7. A Google Cloud Storage
Bucket is fuse mounted to store uploads permanently. In order to scale
horizontally there is a Pod with a redis service to provide all sessions
infos to all instances of MW. The plan is to run also a Varnish Caching
proxy in front of the LoadBalancer.
*My question is, what are the best practices to solve this issue?*

*Best regards,*

Hi,
A new episode of the MediaWiki podcast "Between the Brackets" has been
published: this one is an interview with Barry Grenon, who is Senior
Manager of the Information Experience team at Genesys. We talked about the
use of MediaWiki for documentation and technical communication, which has
what I think is a very nice setup at Genesys. You can hear the episode here:
