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
When I last tried semantic mediawiki (years ago), it permitted (perhaps
even emphasized) generating structured data through writing that contained
typed links. The "type" was a predicate that explained the relationship
between two pages. I think it was also possible to store a tuple of data
inside the link, which may convey the strength of the predicate (for
example) when such information was important and ignore it when it was not
important (I may be confusing this functionality with another extension)
Is any of this inline schema building possible with Cargo or are all typed
links made in the form data fields? For example, in the common AUTHORS and
BOOKS example, what happens if the AUTHOR is actually unknown but there are
several *likely* AUTHORS? One option may be to add a whole field to BOOKS
for LIKELY AUTHORS. Another way might be to create an intermediate page
AUTHORSHIP that ties AUTHOR to BOOK with a field that explains the
relationship in more detail. But, perhaps there is a way to add more nuance
to the AUTHOR assignment itself? Could this information be conveyed in the
AUTHORS field through an additional piece of information placed in
parentheses?

I'm trying to query the cargo database. In PageSchemas, the table is
called simply "Place". Here is the query:
{{#cargo_query:
table=Place
|fields=Place._pageName, Type
|where=Place.Type="Planet"
|format=dynamic table
}}
The code above produces "Error: Table Place not found." as does prepending
the table name with "cargo__" or "cargo_". What am I doing wrong?

Hi folks,
I'm working with Cargo, PageForms, and PageSchemas. I'm trying to define a
hierarchy of places (all assigned to category "Place"). I'm probably doing
several things wrong. The hierarchy is roughly:
SolarSytem- -> Planet --> Continent --> Nation --> SubRegion --> City -->
Neighborhood
I used PageSchemas to generate a "Place" Cargo table, Form, and Template.
It has two fields right now. (1) The "Type" Cargo field is a Page with a
list of possible inputs from the hierarchy above. The "Type" Template is
text with autocomplete. (2) The "PartOf" field is identical except it has
no list of possible inputs since I was hoping it would draw from page
instances.
When I choose a Place "Type" from the list, the selection is displayed as
static text, not as a link (even if I manually create a page with the same
name). When I try to choose a Place "PartOf", autocomplete never finds the
places I've already generated.
What is the proper way to create such a hierarchy? My approach does not
generate real subcategories like Place:SolarSystem and Place:Planet. Is
that what I should be doing? Does that require each subcategory to have its
own schema, form, and template?
Thanks for your guidance,
-david
