I updated to MediaWiki 1.31.6, and installed the 0.3 version of TinyMCE by downloading
from here:
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TinyMCE/archive/0.3.zip
(which is where the "You can download the TinyMCE code, in .zip format..” on the
Extension:TinyMCE mediawiki page points to) and then uploading to the server running my
mediawiki installation. Now TinyMCE does seem to work properly, so that must have been
the issue. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’d still like to know how one
might use the git method to get a stable version, for future reference. That way I won’t
have to download locally and upload to my server. Perhaps there is a way to download
directly to the server from a web page using command line?
Thanks,
-Tom

Thanks for the suggestions. Some questions:
Where does one get the latest stable version of tinyMCE?
Here is the entirety of the “download” section for “extension:tinyMCE”
(
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TinyMCE):
Download[edit<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:Tiny…
You can download the TinyMCE code, in .zip format,
here<https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TinyMCE/archive/0…ip>.
You can also download the code directly via Git from the MediaWiki source code repository
(see available
tags<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/ETMC/tags/master/>)/>).
From a command line, you can call the following:
git clone
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/TinyMCE.git
To view the code online, including version history for each file, go
here<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org//r/p/mediawiki/extensions/TinyMCE…r/>.
Note:
1) there is no indication that the git link leads to a unstable development version of
TinyMCE. Is this something that users are just supposed to know? If so, it would be good
for the developers to included some short note about this, and how users with less
experience with MediaWiki etc. can go about getting the stable version.
2) that the last link (“To view the code online, including version history for each file,
go here”) points to a page that reads: "The requested project does not exist”.

I’ve installed tinyMCE on my installation but for several pages it
just doesn’t work. I get a delay, then the tinyMCE menu, but then no
text shows up below it for editing (even though there is text, and I
can see it by selecting “Edit source” instead of “Edit” (which
invokes tinyMCE). I’m running mediawiki 1.31.0, and my server is
running 7.3.13 (which I can’t change). Any ideas?
FYI I installed tinyMCE by going to my extensions folder and doing:
git clone
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/TinyMCE.git
Sounds like you installed git master (=unstable development 1.35.x
version) of TinyMCE together with an outdated insecure MediaWiki
version (1.31.0).
Does this problem still happen with a maintained MediaWiki version
(currently 1.31.6 for LTS, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download
and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading ) and the
corresponding TinyMCE branch (REL1_31)?
