non-server side wiki dumps
by John 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Are there any tools that allow you to create a dump of a mediawiki install that doesn’t require direct database access? My primary focus is on creating a backup of the wiki contents. Thanks

[OPENZIM] MWoffliner 1.8.0 released
by Emmanuel Engelhart 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Hi We have published a new version of MWoffliner: the MediaWiki scraper. Version 1.8.0 is - like always - available here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mwoffliner This new release contains big improvements in term of performance. MWoffliner 1.8 does not require anymore zimwriterfs binary and can write directly on-the-fly offline ZIM files. This means far less mass storage usage and a number of IO accesses divided by around 5. Here is the detailed changelog: 1.8.0: * UPDATE: Write ZIM files directly (Using Libzim) #184 * UPDATE: Removed 'tmp' files and directory #448 #575 * UPDATE: Removed --deflateTmpHTML and --tmpDirectory arguments #575 #576 * UPDATE: Implemented better request backoff #496 * UPDATE: Change file names/paths #278 * UPDATE: Removed --writeHtmlRedirects argument #506 * UPDATE: Removed --localMCS option (automatically detect) #490 * UPDATE: Updated documentation #423 * FIX: Other stability, logging and error handling fixes All of this has been made possible because a new software piece in openZIM portfolio: node-libzim. node-libzim is a JavaScript/NodeJS binding of our ZIM format reference library: libzim. It allows quickly to read/write ZIM files directly in JavaScript. The code is available in our code forge at https://github.com/openzim/node-libzim and of course available at npmjs.org: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openzim/libzim. This is the third milestone of a few we have planned with the support of the WMF. Next one on the list is 1.9 and is planned for end of April. With 1.9 we want to implement the full support of MediaWiki categories. Like always, PR and bug reports are welcome at: https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner Regards Emmanuel -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication

Help with Duplicator and MediaWiki 1.32
by Thompson, Matt (GSFC-610.1)[SCIENCE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS INC] 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

All, I'm hoping the gurus on the Mailing List here can help. I'm a big user of Duplicator on the wiki I help take care of, but it looks list some recent upgrade in MediaWiki is causing an issue. I've upgraded to the latest Duplicator I can find (Duplicator-REL1_32-5158b26.tar.gz) and I still get the error. When I try to Duplicate a page I get an "Internal Error" and: > [XIKDya3smIUAAHYHRiAAAAAV] /wiki/index.php?title=Special:Duplicator MediaWiki\Revision\RevisionAccessException from line 1635 of /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/Revision/RevisionStore.php: Main slot of revision 4281 not found in database! > > Backtrace: > > #0 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/Revision/RevisionStore.php(1671): MediaWiki\Revision\RevisionStore->loadSlotRecords(string, integer) > > #1 [internal function]: MediaWiki\Revision\RevisionStore->MediaWiki\Revision\{closure}() > > #2 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/Revision/RevisionSlots.php(165): call_user_func(Closure) > > #3 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/Revision/RevisionSlots.php(107): MediaWiki\Revision\RevisionSlots->getSlots() > > #4 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/Revision/RevisionRecord.php(192): MediaWiki\Revision\RevisionSlots->getSlot(string) > > #5 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/Revision.php(697): MediaWiki\Revision\RevisionRecord->getSlot(string, integer) > > #6 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/Revision.php(965): Revision->getMainSlotRaw() > > #7 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/page/WikiPage.php(1387): Revision->getContentModel() > > #8 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/page/Article.php(2792): WikiPage->updateRevisionOn(Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMysqli, Revision, NULL, NULL) > > #9 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/extensions/Duplicator/Duplicator.page.php(339): Article->updateRevisionOn(Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMysqli, Revision) > > #10 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/extensions/Duplicator/Duplicator.page.php(115): SpecialDuplicator->duplicate(Title, Title, boolean) > > #11 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/specialpage/SpecialPage.php(569): SpecialDuplicator->execute(NULL) > > #12 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/specialpage/SpecialPageFactory.php(568): SpecialPage->run(NULL) > > #13 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/MediaWiki.php(288): MediaWiki\Special\SpecialPageFactory->executePath(Title, RequestContext) > > #14 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/MediaWiki.php(860): MediaWiki->performRequest() > > #15 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/includes/MediaWiki.php(517): MediaWiki->main() > > #16 /home/geos/geos5.org/wiki/index.php(42): MediaWiki->run() > > #17 {main} > I will note that Wikiapiary says I might be the first 1.32 install to try it (https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:Duplicator).

Mod_rewrite broke my images?
by Greg Rundlett (freephile) 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

i setup my mod_rewrite rules[1] in order to support multiple language wikis at wiki/en wiki/es wiki/fr wiki/de etc. But somehow I've destroyed the ability to view and/or upload images Can anyone help me get my images back? Aside, are there any decent online tools (like regexr.com) for working with mod_rewrite (I know about the redwerks site.[2]) note: This install is based on Meza [3] but is different than a normal Meza install where the first folder in the path would be the name of the wiki... in this case 'wiki' is just a virtual path component. Example 1 URL: https://fswiki.qualitybox.us/en/img_auth.php/5/59/Geographylogo.png Result: 404 Description: Although this PHP script (/en/img_auth.php) exists, the file requested for output (mwstore://local-backend/local-public/5/59/Geographylogo.png) does not However, ls -al /opt/data-meza/uploads/en/5/59/Geographylogo.png -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 903 Jul 8 2016 /opt/data-meza/uploads/en/5/59/Geographylogo.png And, all images go through img_auth.php. img_auth.php says in the log that it's streaming: [img_auth] Streamingmwstore://local-backend/local-public/5/59/Geographylogo.png [1] Code samples https://demo.qualitybox.us/wiki/Wiki_farm [2] This is what Redwerks thinks https://shorturls.redwerks.org/?source=userdata&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffswiki.qu… [3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meza Greg Rundlett https://eQuality-Tech.com https://freephile.org

MySQL frozen after template change
by Eduardo Elias Camponez 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Hi, I have this problem where my Mediawiki gets frozen after I edit a Template that is used in a lot of pages. I understand from here [0] that the problem could be because of lots of inserts made in the jobs table. From `top`, MySQL is used a lot for a while which froze the site during few minutes. Because of that I started using Redis for Jobqueue in order to avoid that. However the problem is still happening. I'm not sure how to make sure Redis is being used. Although I have made some tests turning redis on and off, I'm not 100% sure is properly working. I'm assuming it is. Is is possible to know for sure what (if not the inserts) is causing the freeze? How do I make sure that Redis and no MySQL is being used for the JobQueue. Thank you, Eduardo [0] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Redis#MediaWiki_&_Wikimedia_use_cases_for_Re…

Delete MediaWiki logs
by Krabina Bernhard 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Hi, I cannot find an answer to the question how I can delete MediaWiki logs. deleteArchivedRevisions.php is great for deleting the revision itself, so it can no longer be used. But still, the entries in the deletion log show up. So I want to delete either single entries in the deletion log or the complete deletion log and cannot find any maintenance script or other option to do this. The problem is not so much the deletion log itself, but the announcement that a version of the page has been there before. I don't want users to see this. The simple usecase: I am preparing wiki pages to test functionality. They should be then created by users. This is possible of course, but the hint that there has been a version of the page in the deletion log is counterproductive in this case as it held only test data... Cheers, Bernhard
