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
As per the MediaWiki version lifecycle[1], I would like to announce the
formal end of life (EOL) of MediaWiki 1.37 as of today, Wednesday November
30, 2022.
This means that MediaWiki 1.37 will no longer receive maintenance or
security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue
to use it.
It is recommended to upgrade either to MediaWiki 1.38, which will be
supported until June 2023 or to 1.39 (released today), the next LTS after
1.35, which will be supported until November 2025.
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that a new version of my MediaWiki reference book,
"Working with MediaWiki" is now out. This is the fifth version of the book:
it first came out in 2012, and I have tried to update it every two or three
years, because after that point a MediaWiki book starts to show its age.
This latest version is fully updated for 2022 and MediaWiki 1.39, including
lots of new screenshots, new extensions and skins, and updated information
on all sorts of things.
The website for the book is here:
https://workingwithmediawiki.com/
You can also read the book online in its entirety, here:
https://workingwithmediawiki.com/book/
However, if you want to have a physical copy of the book - for you, your
loved ones, or co-workers - you can also order it on Amazon, or a number of
other sites like Barnes & Noble - there are ordering links on the main
site. It's now at the relatively low price of $25, or its equivalent in
other currencies. Perfect for the holidays, I would say!
If you do read it, I hope you enjoy it,
Yaron
