Hi Robert, thanks for your answer, I will check out the extension Page_Forms. The second parameter of "doEditContent" was a typo when I wrote the message, in my Wiki-code it is a string (should be "summary") Thank you Manuela -- Sent from: http://mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com/

Hi Manuela, you will need to enable proper error reporting. Please set $wgShowSQLErrors = true; $wgDebugDumpSql = true; $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true; in your LocalSettings.php file. Also, have a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug -- Robert ________________________________ Von: MediaWiki-l &lt;mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; im Auftrag von Manuela &lt;pressephotografin(a)gmail.com&gt; Gesendet: Montag, 28.

Here the error message from the following code: $pageTitleText = "my new wikipage"; $pageTitle = Title::newFromText( $pageTitleText ); $pageContentText = "my new page content"; $pageContent = new WikitextContent( $pageContentText ); $newWikiPage->doEditContent( $pageContent, "summary", EDIT_NEW ); [1ad3dc9e94053cf14fada5a0] 2019-01-28 14:25:01: Fataler Ausnahmefehler des Typs „Error“ Does this code actually mean something to you? It seems like a random number to me, it is different every time. The previous steps are working, I have checked this, the wikipage "my new wikipage" does not exist. Of course I could create the wikipage by directly accessing the database with an "INSERT", but I think this is not the best method.

Hello Manuela, it looks like the source of the issue is, that you try to create a wiki page from within a parser hook callback. This is very uncommon. It somehow messes with the global state of the Parser. Do you have your code online somewhere? Maybe github.com? This would probably be a better place to discuss implementation details. Or maybe you could give some details of your use case. -- Robert ________________________________ Von: MediaWiki-l &lt;mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; im Auftrag von Manuela &lt;pressephotografin(a)gmail.com&gt; Gesendet: Dienstag, 29.

Hi Manuela, I am sure you can do this by using the standard object model and extension interface of MediaWiki. I really advice against manipulating the database directly. Maybe you could even use the "Action API" of MediaWiki: 1. Use the parser hook / special page to create the desired form (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HTMLForm) 2. Create a resourceloader module to load javascript (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/Developing_with_ResourceLoade…) 3. When the user submits the form, assemble the wikitext from the form fields and use the "Action API" to create/edit the wikipage (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit, https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/REL1_31/js/#!/api/mw.Api.plugin.ed… and https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/REL1_31/js/#!/api/mw.Api ) -- Robert ________________________________ Von: MediaWiki-l &lt;mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; im Auftrag von Manuela &lt;pressephotografin(a)gmail.com&gt; Gesendet: Dienstag, 29.

I have already thought about that. What would be a better way, a Special-Page Extension? I had the idea of entering a page title and some initial content into a form and creating a new page from that. This is the way how many users would expect it to work, and obviously there is no simple way in MediaWiki to do so. My code is really simple, just creating the hook, defining a test page title and test content and trying to create a page from that. I will post the full code this evening. If there is no simple way I must go the hard (and dirty) way and use SQL for directly accessing the database, greetings Manuela -- Sent from: http://mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com/ MediaWiki-I | Mailing List Archive<http://mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com/> mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com MediaWiki-I forum and mailing list archive.

API:Edit seems promising, but I have to figure out how to use it. Unfortunately are the programming samples written in Python and not in PHP. I want to learn Python, anyway (PHP is really hard to read for me, the greater-than-signs and the $-sign are piercing my eyeballs ;-), I wonder who designed this language ) Thanks again, Robert, greetings Manuela -- Sent from: http://mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com/

Robert Vogel wrote Hi Robert, I am trying to avoid JavaScript as much as I can. I would strongly prefer a PHP or Python script. I have never written JavaScipt code in my life, and I have written lots of code. First of all I must figure out how the API is working and what it is doing. I will have to study the manual several days, maybe things become clearer for me then. Thank you, I'll be back ;-) Manuela -- Sent from: http://mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com/

Hi altogether, in the meantime I have found a solution that works for me for now. I have created an extension with a million-monkey-form where I can enter parameters for a template, this page creates a text for copy&paste which I can insert into a new page (which I have to create "by hand").
