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.

Hi Everyone,
A quick heads up for others in this situation... We attempted to
migrate to MW 1.38.6 tonight. Our first step is a manual backup.
We found our manual backup (and backups for the last couple of months)
have been failing (yuk!):
# /sbin/mw-backup
Repair wiki database ok
mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'FLUSH TABLES': Access denied; you need
(at least one of) the RELOAD or FLUSH_TABLES privilege(s) for this
operation (1227)
Failed to dump wiki database
It appears this is a known issue on Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/2003866
In our case, workarounds like adding RELOAD or FLUSH_TABLES to the
backup user also failed:
mysql> GRANT FLUSH_TABLES ON my_wiki.* TO 'mwuser'@'%';
ERROR 3619 (HY000): Illegal privilege level specified for FLUSH_TABLES
mysql> GRANT RELOAD ON my_wiki.* TO 'mwuser'@'%';
ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
We reached our limit of knowledge for MySQL administration. I think we
will have to wait until the Ubuntu 2003866 bug is fixed.

Hello all,
Starting in April 2023, MediaWiki will end Grade A support for browsers that
do not implement ES6 JavaScript.[0] This mostly affects the small number of
Internet Explorer 11 users. A very small number of iOS users who have not
upgraded to iOS 10 (released in 2017) are also affected.
Users with these browsers will still be able to browse and contribute to the
projects. Enhanced features will become unavailable. For example, the 2010
wikitext editor will not appear, scripts and gadgets will not operate, and
notification buttons will take you to a page rather than open a pop-out.
This change will affect fewer than 0.1% of page views to Wikimedia wikis. We
previously raised the standard (from ES3 to ES5) in April 2017.[1]
Providing JavaScript for IE 11 and other ES5 browsers adds a significant
maintenance burden. It also hinders site speed for all users. Microsoft
ended its official support for Internet Explorer 11 in June 2022,[2] and
entirely removed it from Windows 10 in February 2023.[3]
This change will land in the development branch used on all Wikimedia wikis
this April, to be released as part of MediaWiki 1.41 around November 2023.
Please help carry this message into your communities.
(Tech News will announce this change as well.)

Hi all,
On Thursday we will be issuing a security and maintenance release to all
supported branches of MediaWiki.
The new releases will be:
- 1.35.10
- 1.38.6
- 1.39.3
This will resolve one issue in MediaWiki core, and two issues in bundled
extensions along with bug fixes included for maintenance reasons. This
includes various patches for PHP 8.0, PHP 8.1 and PHP 8.2 support.
We will make the fixes available in the respective release branches (plus
1.40 which is currently in alpha candidate status) and master in git.
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 later.
As a reminder, 1.38 is due to become end of life (EOL) in June 2023. 1.38.7
(due in June 2023 on the usual release cadence) is expected to be the last
release for this branch. It is recommended to upgrade to 1.39 (the next LTS
after 1.35).
