Recent parser change regarding tildes in comments?
by Thomas Dalton 28 Feb '26

28 Feb '26

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.

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 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

I started working on the task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T244730, to push the changes, I followed the steps given in the Gerrit tutorial. But when I run the command *git pull origin master,* the following error is thrown: error: Pulling is not possible because you have unmerged files. hint: Fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' hint: as appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit. fatal: Exiting because of an unresolved conflict. I would be glad if someone could help me with this issue Thanks in advance Sahaj Khandelwal

Delay in MediaWIki 1.35 Release and Branch Cut
by Cindy Cicalese 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

Due to the uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to temporarily push back the release of MediaWiki 1.35. Especially since MediaWiki 1.35 is a long term support (LTS) release, we want to take the time to give the release appropriate resources and attention. We will not be cutting the REL1_35 branch on April 7 as we had previously announced. We will be making another announcement no later than Friday, May 29 giving an update on when we will be cutting the REL1_35 branch and moving towards the release of MediaWiki 1.35. We appreciate your patience in these difficult times. Wishing you health, Cindy ______________________________ Cindy Cicalese Product Manager, MediaWiki Platform Wikimedia Foundation

Security pre-release announcement: 1.31.7 / 1.33.3 / 1.34.1
by Sam Reed 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Hi all, Tomorrow we will be issuing a security and maintenance release to all supported branches of MediaWiki. The new releases will be: - 1.34.1 - 1.33.3 - 1.31.7 This will resolve two minor issues in MediaWiki core, and also includes some fixes previously committed to git, including minor security and hardening patches along with bug fixes included for maintenance reasons. We've noted that these issues are minor, and as such you don't need to apply them as quickly as with other security releases, if you're unable to do so. We therefore decided to continue with getting the security (and maintenance) release out for this quarter as planned, even with the global situation as is. We will make the fixes available in these respective release branches, and also master. Tarballs will be available for the above mentioned point releases as well. A summary of some of the security fixes that have gone into non bundled MediaWiki extensions will also follow. Thanks! Sam

Mediawiki behind Nginx reverse proxy
by freebsd＠tango.lu 22 Mar '20

22 Mar '20

Hello, I find this strange that the there is no proper documentation on how to configure nginx to reverse proxy to mediawiki. My setup: https://wiki.domain.com Internal http://192.168.1.5/wiki location / { # rewrite /(.*) /wiki/$1 break; # rewrite ^/(.*)$ /wiki/index.php?title=$1&$args; rewrite /(.*) /wiki/$1 break; rewrite ^/$ /wiki/ permanent; rewrite ^/(.+)$ /wiki/index.php?title=$1 last; proxy_pass http://192.168.1.5; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $host; } I have tried a couple of things, I usually end up 404 - Not Found from the outside where I see a GET /wiki/ HTTP/1.0" 301 0 " in the internal servers log. Any idea how to set this up properly?
