Hi Everyone,
During a Mediawiki 1.34.3 to Mediawiki 1.34.4 upgrade... When updating
vendor components using 'php -d extension=phar.so composer.phar
update':
Package wikimedia/password-blacklist is abandoned, you should avoid
using it. Use wikimedia/common-passwords instead.
Package jakub-onderka/php-parallel-lint is abandoned, you should avoid
using it. Use php-parallel-lint/php-parallel-lint instead.
Package jakub-onderka/php-console-color is abandoned, you should avoid
using it. Use php-parallel-lint/php-console-color instead.
Package jakub-onderka/php-console-highlighter is abandoned, you should
avoid using it. Use php-parallel-lint/php-console-highlighter instead.
Package phpunit/php-token-stream is abandoned, you should avoid using
it. No replacement was suggested.
Package phpunit/phpunit-mock-objects is abandoned, you should avoid
using it. No replacement was suggested.
I don't add things to vendor/, and I did not install packages like
password-blacklist or php-parallel-lint. It looks like these are part
of a Mediawiki installation.
/var/www/html/wiki# find . -name password-blacklist
./vendor/wikimedia/password-blacklist
/var/www/html/wiki# find . -name php-parallel-lint
./vendor/jakub-onderka/php-parallel-lint

Hello everyone,
MediaWiki 1.31 has reached EOL. Consequently, Parsoid/JS (the javascript
version of Parsoid) is also EOL starting today.
Parsoid was originally implemented in Javascript. It was ported to PHP
in 2019 and the PHP port is now part of all MediaWiki releases. With the
EOL of the MediaWiki 1.31 LTS, LTS support transfers to Parsoid/PHP
0.12, which was included as part of the MediaWiki 1.35 LTS distribution.
Parsoid/JS has only been receiving security releases since 2020 and will
no longer get any security updates. We recommend all Parsoid users
switch over to Parsoid/PHP.

Hi Folks,
Please ignore if you receive two versions of this email. The list server
told me that " The message's content type was not explicitly allowed" when
I inserted a screenshot. I'm trying to attach a ZIP of an image this time.
What would cause the behavior shown in the attached file? There are two
rows in the table, but the second row does not show up on any searches or
even on the "view table" page. It only shows on the edit table page, but
the count at the bottom says "showing page 1 of 1 entries". I've tried
recreating the table, deleting and recreating the "Taroq 7" page, etc.
Nothing I've tried solves the issue.
Thank you,
david
As per the MediaWiki version lifecycle[1], I would like to announce the
formal end of life (EOL) of MediaWiki 1.31 as of tomorrow, Thursday
September 30, 2021, coinciding with the final security and maintenance
release for the branch, 1.31.16.
This means that MediaWiki 1.31 will no longer receive maintenance or
security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue
to use it.
It is recommended to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35, the current Long Term
Support (LTS) version which is not due to become EOL until September 2023.
MediaWiki 1.35 bumps the required PHP version from 7.0 in 1.31 (which is
unsupported upstream), to PHP 7.3.19 or later.
Thanks!

Hi all,
Tomorrow we will be issuing a security and maintenance release to all
supported branches of MediaWiki.
The new releases will be:
- 1.31.16
- 1.35.4
- 1.36.2
This will resolve 3 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.
It also fixes 1 issue in a MediaWiki tarball bundled extension.
We will make the fixes available in these respective release branches,
master and the currently unreleased 1.37 branch. 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.
As a reminder, 1.31 (the old LTS) was due to become end of life (EOL) in
June 2021. 1.35 (the new LTS) is supported until September 2023. However,
to try and meet our LTS-LTS overlap commitments (1.35 was late due to
COVID), 1.31 got best-efforts extra support until the end of September 2021.
As the end of September 2021 is now upon us, this means 1.31.16 will be the
final security (and maintenance) release, and therefore it is considered
EOL as of tomorrow, September 30, 2021.

Hi folks,
I associate some categories to templates using Cargo, but have many other
categories that are not associated with a template. I'd like such pages to
include {{Special:WhatLinksHere/{{PAGENAME}}}}. Is it possible to create a
default template that has this transclusion and gets used whenever the page
to display is not assigned to a specific template?
thank you,

Dear Mediawiki Experts,
some weeks ago I moved our mediawik from one Debian server to another and
updated from mediawiki 1.31.14 to 1.33.4. On new instance vector skin is not
displayed as familiar as in the old instance.
Sidebar which was before on the left hand side is now on the bottom of the
site. All logos are not shown. Font is different.
Can some one give me a hint to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Sancho HGH
