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?
Thanks!

That page seems to have changed, it now just has a pointer to an
article about writing an extension which really doesn't seem to build
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. I wrote it
up at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Writing_a_new_special_page

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
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.

Hello,
I'm working on one wiki which shows characters in a weird way. UTF-8 is
used for encoding, so I believe that it isn't an issue.
You can take a look here Statik A – Sub Bavaria (sub-bavaria.de)
<http://www.sub-bavaria.de/w/index.php?title=Statik_A>, so you can better
understand what I'm talking about.
Could you please point me to something that I should look for, so I can fix
this issue?
Wiki was previously on version 1.31, I've upgraded it to 1.38.
Thanks for your help and understanding!
Best regards,
Zoran
Hi,
We are currently in the process of converting the Math renderer from
JS to PHP. In this context, we deal with large (50Mb) files for
testing https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T315223. While the test file
was part of the JS source code repo, we are unsure if this is also the
best practice for PHP code, as I don't remember having seen that in
other repositories such as core.
If you have experience with this, please let me know.
Thank you

Hello,
Two changes is being made on MediaWiki databases:
*First:*
We are reworking how extensions manage their database schema. The idea is
to basically deprecate LoadExtensionSchemaUpdates hook[1] and replace it
with structured values in extension.json.
This is needed to avoid arbitrary php code execution during database update
which can cause problems and was a contributing factor in one of our major
outages [2]. The other reason for this change is to be able to wire
abstract schema of extensions to core so it can be tested in CI (for
example for having a valid json, having prefixes set correctly, etc.) You
can see a POC of that in [3]
Given that once the change is merged to core, breaking changs to extension
registry schema would require a lot of work (updating the maniphest version
and so on), it's better to get it right before merge.
I have proposed something like [4]. For any feedback on this, please go to
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237839,
*Second:*
We are working to provide a replacement for raw SQL for query conditions.
When the query condition is exact equality condition (e.g. rev_id = 123),
you don't need to provide raw SQL but for most other cases you need to
either provide it or build it via IDatabase methods. For example:
'rev_timestamp > ' . $db->addQuotes( $db->timestamp( $since ) ). You can
see an example of this in [5] (being changed to something much better via a
newly introduced method).
This is not optimal and not very developer friendly, to solve that, we are
proposing to have something like ExpressionBuilder::greater(
'rev_timestamp', $db->timestamp( $since ) ) supported in
SelectQueryBuilder::where().
You can see the POC in [6]. For any feedback on this please go to
