    • PHP (likewise)
    • Database (likewise, e.g. MySQL 5.5)
  2. Please include the URL of your wiki unless you absolutely can't. It's often a lot easier for us to identify the source of the problem if we can look for ourselves.

I added the patch to fix the error you pointed me to, but did not fix problem.

128.95.123.20000:23, 18 March 2015

In fact you should just upgrade MediaWiki. Version 1.22 has known security holes and is not safe to use.

MediaWiki 1.23 offers long-term support until 2017 and btw. also contains a fix for the PCRE problem.

88.130.108.14500:45, 18 March 2015

I tried upgrading very first to try to fix. Does this mean my upgrade was unsuccessful?

128.95.123.20018:45, 18 March 2015

In current versions this problem should be solved. You can see the MediaWiki version, which you use on the wiki page Special:Version in your wiki.

Mobile app. post request to Special Page "error"

Hello all,

I developing a media wiki extension as well a mobile app. that works together. The mobile app. scan a QR code and make a request to a special page of this extension. The problem is that I always have a 200 ok response, and the request doesn't "execute" in the SpecialPage code that my extension implement, which should response another code. If I paste the same URI in a web browser the request and the special page works as intended. I don't understand why if I make this Post request from a mobile app. the result is not the same?

Thanks in advance, David.

Starting conversion of LiquidThreads to Flow at mediawiki.org

LiquidThreads (LQT) has not been well-supported in a long time. Flow is in active development, and more real-world use-cases will help focus attention on the higher-priority features that are needed. To that end, LQT pages at mediawiki.org will start being converted to Flow in the next couple of weeks. This page, as the most active on mediawiki.org will be the last to be converted.

Please see details, and an emphatic request for feedback, at Topic:Sdoatsbslsafx6lw. Much thanks.

[RESOLVED] "MediaWiki does not function when magic quotes are enabled" error with magic quotes disabled

Upgrading from 1.12 to 1.24.1 and I'm receiving

"Exception from line 61 of /public_html/wiki/includes/WebRequest.php: MediaWiki does not function when magic quotes are enabled.

Backtrace:

  1. 0 /public_html/wiki/includes/Setup.php(544): WebRequest->__construct()
  2. 1 /public_html/wiki/includes/WebStart.php(121): require_once(string)
  3. 2 /public_html/wiki/mw-config/index.php(36): require(string)
  4. 3 {main}"

when I attempt to run mw-config/index.php. Magic quotes are off in the php.ini.

Trying to go to the main index just gives a "Fatal exception of type MWException".

I'm running PHP 5.3.27, if that makes a difference, and I've read and tried everything I could find, but I'm not sure what all I can do with only FTP and web access.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

24.22.215.19811:47, 17 March 2015

Obviously, at another place, another value is set for magic quotes and that value takes precedence. You will also be able to see that when you check the output of phpinfo() for the value of magic quotes.

The solution will be to make sure, magic quotes are really disabled.

88.130.108.14512:49, 17 March 2015

Well, there was no problem before the upgrade, when magic quotes were still disabled.

I checked phpinfo and all magic quote entries are listed as "Off" in Local and Master Values.

24.22.215.19822:39, 17 March 2015

I personally doubt that the MediaWiki source code is wrong at that place. I now checked it anyway and it is correct.

The file includes/WebRequest.php, around line 60 checks for magic quotes:

if ( function_exists( 'get_magic_quotes_gpc' ) && get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
  throw new MWException( "MediaWiki does not function when magic quotes are enabled." );
}

According to the PHP manual, get_magic_quotes_gpc() only returns TRUE, if magic quotes are enabled.

88.130.108.14523:51, 17 March 2015

And yet it's not. I don't know what to tell you.

I'm just trying to find out if there's other places I can look or anything I can do to fix it before I just delete my whole install and give up on it.

24.22.215.19823:55, 17 March 2015

You can modify the source code to look this way:

/* Code commented out
if ( function_exists( 'get_magic_quotes_gpc' ) && get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
  throw new MWException( "MediaWiki does not function when magic quotes are enabled." );
}
*/

This will disable the check and MediaWiki will then not fail at that place. Note: If magic quotes are in fact enabled, running a wiki on that system is just downright dangerous.

---

Anyway:

If magic quotes in fact are disabled, get_magic_quotes_gpc() should return 0 and not 1.

So what you report basically is a presumably wrong result of a PHP function. A false-positive so to speak.

If things are the way you tell us, then this is a bug in PHP, which you should report to the PHP bugtracker.

Database Error on Redirect

Hello all,

I installed a Mediawiki on my website today to use for my and my friends for our Dungeons and Dragons campaign. However, when I try to redirect one page to another (using #REDIRECT page name), I get a Database Error, and I have not been able to find someone with similar problems (sorry if I overlooked something).

The error is as follows:

  • Query:
  REPLACE INTO `mw_redirect` (rd_from,rd_namespace,rd_title,rd_fragment,rd_interwiki) VALUES ('194','0','Kalender_van_het_Ene_Licht',,)
  • Function: WikiPage::insertRedirectEntry
  • Error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (localhost)

And the backtrace is this:

Does anybody have any clue what might be causing this? I'm running the most recent version of MediaWiki.

The relevant line is

Error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction 

In your case the problematic table seems to be mw_redirect - which is kind of interesting as this table as well as your query is not very complex.

A debugging guide for this problem is available at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6000336/how-to-debug-lock-wait-timeout-exceeded

88.130.108.14523:43, 17 March 2015
 

If you got this error only once, you can safely ignore it. But if you get it consistently or often then it's something you should worry about.

Extremely Slow PPFrame_DOM::expand

Edited by another user.
Last edit: 10:43, 18 March 2015

My Mediawiki pages are loading Extremely slow. a 2 minute+ page load time is not uncommon for any page that uses templates. simple page loads relatively quickly. I have gone through every performance enhancing technique for mediawiki to optimize it.

I setup debugging and turned on profiling. The biggest and most common slow culprit appears to be PPFrame_DOM::expand.

Here is an example Performance Output:

Creation of Portals

Hello,

I'm quite new to MediaWiki and have created a Portal Page called:

/wiki/index.php/Portal:Topic

Following the instructions on the MediaWiki site I have checked that I have created a NameSpace called Portal, and the the parser is enabled.

However I have added '{{subst:box portal skeleton}}' to the page, and saved it. When I view the page I just see the text '{{subst:box portal skeleton}}' rather than the red boxes I am apparently supposed to see so I can edit it.

Can anyone help?

Thank you

Peter West Sussex

What should I do with the dead web links?

Hi.

The question itself if really short and probably asked million times already, but I'm not sure what to do with dead web links. My wiki is now full of dead web links that are reported by Pywikibot/weblinkchecker.py. What are the best practices in this case? I would like to preserve the web links somehow. Should be they just marked with text "dead link"? Or should I just remove the brackets and wrap the web links into the nowiki tag to let them be plain text? Or should I categorize the pages somehow? None of the above seems to be solid and strong.

Thanks in advance.

195.234.75.15508:59, 17 March 2015

Weblinks themselves often are not solid. The saying that cool URLs don't change unfortunately is not taken very seriously by many website owners.

Anyway, if the information you linked to now is available at another place, you should just replace the links - which might need manual searching of the new URL and then possibly using something like Extension:ReplaceText to fix it. You might also want to check, if archive.org has the according page archived.

For links, which are not fixable, maybe you can put them into ref-tags - that way they will still be there, but just as a small footnote.

88.130.108.14513:11, 17 March 2015

Thanks for the recommendations. Web archive is a very good option since the dead web links still refer old "web 1.0" sites. I'm not sure if I can find that info anywhere else because the referenced information is a sort of unique information. Regarding the ref tags: as far as I understand, the ref-tagged links will still be reported by the web links checker script. I would like to have something like page-baked/printed web links or so (I mean, the web links mentions should be kept somehow, not necessary to be a real link), because those links are a point of interest in the articles.

Edited by author.
Last edit: 16:39, 17 March 2015

Yes, ref-tags still produce links and so I would expect that they are still recognized as broken by that script.

So, if I understand you right, you want to keep the links (kind of for historic reasons), but they should not be recognized as broken and they do not necessarily have to be clickable as they only lead to a 404 page anyway.

One possibility (of which I do not know, if it works) would be: If the checker script has a way to recognize links, which it should not check (e.g. by adding a class to the links or so), then you could change your links that way.

nowiki tags might actually be a good solution, if the above is not possible.

88.130.108.14515:32, 17 March 2015

You guided me to the Web Archive, so I have to check the web-archived links first, if possible. That's a really very nice idea. I've just written a web-archive template:

<includeonly>

{{#vardefine:YEAR | {{#sub:{{{1}}}|0|4}}}}
{{#vardefine:MONTH | {{#sub:{{{1}}}|4|2}}}}
{{#vardefine:DAY | {{#sub:{{{1}}}|6|2}}}}
{{#vardefine:HOURS | {{#sub:{{{1}}}|8|2}}}}
{{#vardefine:MINUTES | {{#sub:{{{1}}}|10|2}}}}
{{#vardefine:SECONDS | {{#sub:{{{1}}}|12|2}}}}

Example of use:

It looks very good to me so far.

Not expanding a template on the page it's written in

I'm editing in he.wikisource, and we use alout the parser function #קטע (I'm not sure what's the english version, I think it's section from this extention). Because of the extended use of this function, quite a few pieces of text are shown in different places than where they are actually written. A need for a template that will be expanded on pages that are not the page on wich the text is written has raised, and the current solution used is to pass the page name as a parameter, and to check it in the expantion. This method has a critical inpact on the readability of the editing page, and I hope someone can suggest a better solution.

A few links:

- A page with the source text
- A page that uses some of the page above
- The template talked about
- Technical details about the site

FCKEditor doesnt work with IE10+

Hello,

I installed and got FCKEditor working with IE9 and Firefox 36. For getting FCKEditor working with IE10 or higher I need to enable Entreprise Mode in IE...

Did someone already have the same issue and find à solution?

Thank you all

164.128.235.3612:48, 17 March 2015

There were two versions of FCKEditor. Anyway, both are currently unmaintained and not working for current versions of MediaWiki as well as for current browsers. I believe these extensions are more or less unused nowadays.

extension echo problem

Hi when I am using the web updater on mediawiki 1.25 wmf 18 I see this error comes up at top of white box showing the log

...echo_subscription doesn't exist.

How can I fix it.

151.229.250.23311:50, 21 February 2015

That's not a problem, that just means, that it doesn't need to be deleted :) echo_subscription needs to be deleted, see [1]. If it was already deleted, the update script just mention it, but does nothing. There should be no problem.

Which feeds? Watchlist feed? Recentchanges?

Florianschmidtwelzow (talk)09:41, 1 December 2014

mainly the watchlist feed, recentchanges and new sides are also interesting

129.27.104.910:38, 1 December 2014

And now the question is: What means private :) You mean that all users must login to read the content?

For watchlists, you can use Watchlist tokens.

Florianschmidtwelzow (talk)12:28, 1 December 2014

Yes, all users must login to read the content. I also don't see changes in the watchlist feed if I use tokens and I'm not logged in.

I am not the original poster but am also looking into getting Recent Changes RSS feeds to work from a wiki that requires login for access. I use tinytinyRSS, a web based feed aggregator. It's set up so that clicking on an RSS feed link generates a new feed. When I click on the recent changes RSS link in wikipedia, it creates a working link. When I click the same button in our password protected mediawiki it gives me an error:

No feeds found in http://ccmdb.kuality.ca/api.php?hidebots=1&days=7&limit=50&action=feedrecentchanges&feedformat=rss

When I look at the feed from a different browser that is not set up to push rss links into tinyRSS. When I am logged in I get something that looks like an RSS feed. When I log out I get the API instructions, preceded by

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <api>
  <error code="readapidenied" info="You need read permission to use this module" xml:space="preserve">
Tenbergen (talk)00:51, 12 March 2015

When I look at the error in TinyRSS it says "LibXML error 5 at line 3217 (column 1): Extra content at the end of the document"

When I copy and paste the API response into Notepad++ to count lines it only seems to have 3206.

Tenbergen (talk)01:22, 12 March 2015

Firefox -> view source code: It displays line numbers, and it indeed has more than 3217 lines.

There's no point in having a private wiki and also leak a recent changes feed. Sorry, but I don't think you would get support for opening that feed on a private wiki.

Thanks for the source code hint, I was looking at the rendered page. Looking at the source code hint, it appears that the complaint is about the script section at the very end. Which makes sense, it expects an XML document and instead receives an html document with a script at the end. The RSS reader can't interpret that, so to get any meaningful idea what is going on takes a fair bit. I think it might make more sense if, in response to a feed request, the api generated a "feed" that states the error?

Regarding the login requirement, I am not trying to get the feed to bypass it. TinyRSS can provide a login account and password, it just isn't working. I am trying to find out more about that.

Progressive JPEG thumbs not recommended?

I tried progressive thumbs ($wgCustomConvertCommand = "convert %s -resize %wx%h -interlace plane %d";) and the thumbs are about twice the filesize. That's correct? Too bad actually.

How to display flash in a page?

Edited by author.
Last edit: 06:51, 13 March 2015

My website uses MediaWiki 1.16 and can't enable SSH connection.

一個正常人 (talk)14:49, 8 March 2015

Use Extension:Widgets and create a widget with the HTML code for embedding a flash object. Then insert the widget on the page.

Ciencia Al Poder (talk)10:36, 9 March 2015

The download link of the extension is broken.

一個正常人 (talk)06:28, 11 March 2015
 

And please update your wiki to MediaWiki 1.23! 1.16 is not safe. It has tons of known security holes.

Last edit: 06:55, 13 March 2015

The website is built on a shared host. The PHP version only allow me to upgrade it to 1.19, and it has difficulty to upgrade since SSH connection is not allowed.

一個正常人 (talk)09:58, 10 March 2015

1.19 is still a supported (Long-Term-Support) release for a short while and highly recommended if you care about security and don't want your site to get hacked.

Malyacko (talk)11:21, 10 March 2015

Right. 1.19 (currently) still is supported and is safe to use.

You should really check the settings of your hosting pack to see, if/how you can change the PHP version. Does your host really only offer PHP 5.2? Hard to believe....

Actually the website isn't created by me, just the founder gave me the username and the password of the FTP and the database.The website's PHP version is 5.2.17, the MySQL version is 5.1.63 and the MediaWiki version is 1.16.5.

It's off topic! I'm asking how to display flash in a page?

一個正常人 (talk)13:41, 14 March 2015

You wrote above that the download link of extension Widgets would be broken.

I found the Git repository with the source code here: https://git.wikimedia.org/branches/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FWidgets.git

It contains the source code for the different versions of MediaWiki. There you can click on one of the commits and then click on the link "zip | gz | bzip2" to get an according archive. That is also how it works for other extensions as well.

Anyway, this extension is not compatible with MediaWiki 1.16.

Please read the previous comment again how to receive help. Please also consider fixing your keyboard: it prints certain keys like ? and ! several times instead of only once.

Malyacko (talk)09:10, 2 March 2015
 

'there' is here

Arent (talk)12:57, 2 March 2015
 

Just look at the examples given here. Quite self-explanatory, I would say.
