How do I add/remove tabs throughout my wiki?

See <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> or write your own extension (See: <tvar|2>Template:Ll</>):

For example, to remove the talk tab and then add a tab that always goes to the main page you would save this code in</translate> extensions/AR-Tabs.php:

Template:MW 1.21 <syntaxhighlight lang="php"> <?php if( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ){ die( "This is not a valid access point.\n" ); }

$wgHooks['SkinTemplateNavigation'][] = 'replaceTabs'; function replaceTabs( &$skin, &$links) { // Remove the talk action unset( $links['namespaces']['talk'] ); $maintitle = Title::newFromText( wfMessage( 'mainpage' )->inContentLanguage()->text() ); // Add an additional link $links['namespaces']['main'] = array( 'class' => false, // false or 'selected', defines whether the tab should be highlighted 'text' => wfMessage( 'sitetitle' )->text(), // what the tab says 'href' => $maintitle->getFullURL(), // where it links to 'context' => 'main', ); return true; } </syntaxhighlight> <translate> and then add </translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="php">require_once("extensions/AR-Tabs.php");</syntaxhighlight> <translate> to the bottom of LocalSettings.php

How do I remove a tab on only one page?

</translate> Template:MW 1.9 <translate> For example, to remove the Discussion (talk) page tab from the Main Page, on the MediaWiki:Common.css page add:</translate> <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> body.page-Main_Page li#ca-talk { display: none !important; } </syntaxhighlight>

<translate> To modify <tvar|1>MediaWiki:Common.css</> you must be an <tvar|2>Template:Ll</>. </translate>

<translate> See also:</translate> Template:Ll

<translate>

How do I remove a tab on all pages

</translate>

Template:MW 1.9 <translate> For example, to remove the Discussion (talk) page tab on all wikipages, on the MediaWiki:Common.css page add: </translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="css">

1. ca-talk { display:none!important; }

</syntaxhighlight>

<translate> Other tabs to remove are #ca-history, #ca-viewsource, #ca-view (Read tab), #ca-nstab-main (Page tab).</translate>

<translate> Other drop down menu items you can remove are #ca-watch, #ca-move, #ca-delete.</translate>

<translate> To modify <tvar|1>MediaWiki:Common.css</> you must be an <tvar|2>Template:Ll</>.

How do I remove the "Talk for this IP" link at the top right (e.g. when <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> is true)?

One option is to hide the link using the following CSS in the wiki page MediaWiki:Common.css in your wiki: </translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="css">

1. p-personal #pt-anonuserpage {

   display: none;

} </syntaxhighlight>

<translate> Another option is, inside your LocalSettings.php file, to use the PersonalUrls hook to remove the link to the talk page of anonymous users:</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang=php> $wgHooks['PersonalUrls'][] = 'lfRemoveAnonUserpageLink'; function lfRemoveAnonUserpageLink( &$personal_urls, $title ) { unset( $personal_urls['anonuserpage'] ); return true; } </syntaxhighlight>

<translate>

How do I remove the "Create an Account or Login" link at the top right of the screen?

To remove the login / create account links from the personal_urls you can use this code in your Template:Manual to hook in and remove them: </translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang=php> $wgHooks['PersonalUrls'][] = 'lfRemoveLoginLink'; function lfRemoveLoginLink( &$personal_urls, $title ) { unset( $personal_urls['login'] ); unset( $personal_urls['anonlogin'] ); unset( $personal_urls['createaccount'] ); return true; } </syntaxhighlight>

<translate>

How do I edit error messages?

Special:Allmessages contains a complete list of messages (error or otherwise), that can be edited.</translate>

<translate>

How do I change the footer?

</translate>

<translate> See:</translate> Template:Ll, Template:Ll

Template:Anchor <translate>

How can I edit / remove the Powered by MediaWiki image (and possible other images) from the footer?

You can hide the Powered by MediaWiki image by adding the following to your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css: </translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="css">

1. footer-poweredbyico { display: none; }

</syntaxhighlight>

<translate> If you want to remove it completely, you can use Template:Wg to remove it using this in your Template:Manual: </translate> <syntaxhighlight lang=php>unset( $wgFooterIcons['poweredby'] );</syntaxhighlight>

Note that this will also remove other powered-by icons, e.g. also the one coming from BlueSpice.

<translate> If you wish to change the icon images, urls, alt text, or add new icons please see Template:Wg' documentation.

How do I add a reply link to default signature tildes (<tvar|1>~~~~</>) template?

You can customize signatures in MediaWiki:Signature / MediaWiki:Signature-anon.

For example, changing the entries to [[{{ns:user}}:$1|$2]] ([[{{ns:user_talk}}:$1|talk]]) will put a link to users' talk pages and [[{{ns:user}}:$1|$2]] ([{{fullurl:{{ns:user_talk}}:$1|action=edit&section=new}} Reply]) would give a more direct link.

Users can change their signature in their preferences.

How can I change what the <title> of each page is? Where do I make changes?

Most of the text that you want to change can be found in the namespace of MediaWiki.

In order to change titles, texts, announcements, etc., go to Special:AllMessages, where you will see the text associated with the pages you wish to change.</translate> <translate> You need to log in as an administrator to edit the protected entries in the MediaWiki namespace.

If you want to change the title in your browser, you need to edit MediaWiki:Pagetitle.</translate> <translate> Go there and edit it just like you would any other page in your wiki.

In recent versions of MediaWiki, MediaWiki:Pagetitle is <tvar|1>$1 - {{SITENAME}}</> by default. If <tvar|2>{{SITENAME}}</> is producing the wrong text for you, you need to set <tvar|3>Template:Ll</> in your <tvar|4>LocalSettings.php</>.</translate>

<translate> Don't forget to clear your browser cache after you change your settings.

Does MediaWiki automatically capitalize the first letter of $wgSitename?

Yes.</translate> <translate> This can be changed using the <tvar|CapitalLinks>Template:Ll</> configuration setting.

How do I make external links open in a new window?

</translate>

<translate> See <tvar|1>Template:Ll</></translate>

<translate>

How can I suppress MediaWiki from formatting URLs, tags, etc?

Put "<tvar|nowiki>Template:Tag</>" tags around the URL or tag.

Example:</translate>

svn co <nowiki>http://svn.example.com/myproject/</nowiki>

<translate> Produces:</translate>
svn co http://svn.example.com/myproject/

<translate>

How can I force users to preview before they save?

</translate>

<translate> See:</translate> Template:Ll, Template:Ll

<translate>

How do I add more buttons on the edit page?

</translate>

<translate> See:</translate> Template:Ll

<translate>

How can I get more special characters or tags clickable on the edit page?

For adding more selectable special characters, etc., below the edit field, see <tvar|1>Template:Ll</>.

How can I use a different skin (e.g. Wikipedia's old Monobook skin) on my wiki?

</translate> Template:MW 1.16 <translate> While the Vector skin is the default skin for all installations made with MediaWiki 1.17 and newer, the Monobook skin has been the default before.</translate> <translate> See <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> for more information on configuring your default skin.

How do I disable external links from showing in the printable version of a page?

Edit the page MediaWiki:Print.css on your wiki and add the following code there:</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="css">

1. content a.external.text:after,
2. content a.external.autonumber:after {

content: none; } </syntaxhighlight>

<translate> This will override the styles defined in the CSS files coming with the MediaWiki source code.</translate> <translate> For more information, see <tvar|1>Template:Ll</>.</translate>

<translate> If instead you want to have the external links underlined in the printable version, then also add the following code:</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="css">

1. content a.external {

   text-decoration: underline !important;

} </syntaxhighlight>

<translate>

How do I change the text of the article (page name) tab of my wiki's main page?

</translate>

Template:Anchor <translate> To change the text of the tab, as one example used in Wikipedia, you first open the page "<tvar|1>MediaWiki:Mainpage-nstab</>".

After you've done that, click Edit and type in the edit box the text you want to be seen later on the main page - that's it.</translate> <translate> Don't forget to save the page as well.

Basic usage

How do I edit a page?

<translate>

How do I delete an old version of a page?

Old versions of page data are retained in the database and can be accessed via the page history features.</translate> <translate> This is useful for reviewing changes and correcting or reverting undesirable ones, but in some cases, administrators might want to make this information unavailable, for legal reasons, or to reduce the size of the database.

• Administrators can delete an old revision of a page by deleting the page, and then selectively undeleting revisions to be kept</translate>

<translate>

• For newer MediaWikis (1.14+), you can enable the core RevisionDelete feature that allows privileged users to remove single revisions from page histories.</translate>

<translate>

• The <tvar|1>maintenance/Template:Ll</> [[<tvar|2>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Maintenance scripts</>|maintenance script]] can mass-delete all old revisions of pages and their associated text records.

</translate>

<translate> See also:</translate> Template:Ll

<translate>

How do I use oversight/delete revisions in the page history?

</translate>

<translate> See:</translate> Template:Ll

<translate> You can also delete a page, and then restore only the revisions you want.

Are there any editing tutorials available?

There are several editing tutorials available, mostly on Wikimedia sister projects, such as Wikipedia.</translate> <translate> There are also markup references, etc. available on Meta.

• The page Help:Editing pages on this site</translate>

<translate>

• Editing help content on Meta</translate>

<translate>

• The How to edit a page guide on the English Wikipedia

How do I view the printable form of a page?

MediaWiki includes stylesheets which automatically style a page appropriately when it is printed; using the print or print preview function within your browser ought to render the page in a printable form.

You can also view this printable form using the printable version link in the sidebar under Toolbox or Print/export if using the <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> extension.

How do I use templates?

</translate>

<translate> See <tvar|1>Template:Ll</></translate>

<translate>

Can I use media (images, video, audio, etc.) from [[<tvar|1>m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Commons</>|Wikimedia Commons]] in my installed version of MediaWiki?

Yes, this is encouraged through the use of <tvar|1>Template:Ll</>. </translate>

<translate> See also:</translate> Template:Ll

<translate>

How do I use a template as a signature?

When you look at your preferences, you see a check box for "raw signature."</translate> <translate> But the field will only take a certain number of characters.</translate> <translate> What if you want more?

You will need to create two pages, possibly in your userspace.</translate>

1. <translate> Create the first page (FIRST PAGE)</translate>
2. <translate> Go to your preferences, check "raw signature" and put <tvar|1>{{FIRST PAGE}}</> in the signature.</translate> Template:Int
3. <translate> Create a second page (SECOND PAGE) (possibly a sub-page of the first)</translate>
4. <translate> Go back to the first page (FIRST PAGE) and do <tvar|1>{{SECOND PAGE}}</></translate>
5. <translate> Go to the second page (SECOND PAGE) and place the code you wish to have for your signature.</translate>

<translate> If you don't have this structure, you will still be inserting all your signature code into the raw code wherever your signature is used, because the software will insert "SUBST" in your preferences.</translate> <translate> You may not mind this, in which case you only need one page.</translate> <translate> If you want the raw code to only display <tvar|1>{{FIRST PAGE}}</>, which looks a lot cleaner, then you need to use the two-page structure.

How do I add the sandbox functionality to my installation of the wiki?

In wiki terms, a sandbox is simply a "play pen"; a page which users can mess about in.</translate> <translate> This is an ordinary page created in the normal manner, and can be located wherever you like.</translate> <translate> There is no special sandbox functionality built into MediaWiki.

Users often inquire about the Wikipedia sandboxes, which seem to be self-emptying.</translate> <translate> This is not quite correct; there are a number of volunteers who run bots to clean these up and return them to a certain state at regular time intervals.

How do I add a "Sandbox" link to personal tools (top right)?

You need to install the <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> extension.</translate> <translate>

How do I make my wiki serve all languages?

To make your wiki multilingual and a tool for translation, allowing translation of pages and of the custom interface (like the sidebar), use the <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> extension; there's extensive documentation. </translate>

Wiki importing

Importing from MediaWiki XML dumps

</translate>

<translate> See:</translate> Template:Ll

<translate>

Importing from other types of wiki software

</translate>

<translate> There is some documentation about importing in the UPGRADE file distributed with MediaWiki.

To follow on from those, this is how at least one individual imported pages from usemod to MediaWiki:

Because MediaWiki does not automatically link to CamelCase style links, you will need to add brackets [[ ]] to all your links.</translate> <translate> You can do this with the following:

First, obtain ImportStage1.txt (or whatever you want to call it) from the importUseModWiki.php script ( use > to pipe the output to a file )

Second, do</translate>

sed '/Importing/!s/\ [A-Z]\w*[a-z]\w*[A-Z]\w*[a-zA-Z]/\ \[\[&\]\] /g'
    ImportStage1.txt > ImportStage2.txt

<translate> This should create proper links in place of your CamelCase links.

This doesn't work so well for SubPage links - someone care to fix?

Then,</translate>

sed 's/upload\:\w*\.\w*/http\:\/\/aberwiki\.org\/uploads\/& /g'
    ImportStage2.txt > ImportStage3.txt

<translate> This fixes your upload links.</translate> <translate> Change the replace text so it fills in your url such as http://www.yourwiki.org/uploads/filename

You are now ready to import ImportStage3.txt into your database with a command such as</translate>

mysql -u<mysqluser> -p<yourpass> <db name> < ImportStage3.txt

<translate>

Importing from other types of files

There are a variety of tools available to help convert content from HTML (and other formats) to MediaWiki markup.</translate>

<translate> Developer and SysAdmin tools</translate>

<translate>

• HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki - a Perl module for converting from HTML to MediaWiki markup.</translate>

<translate>

• Wikificator - a JavaScript MediaWiki extension that converts XHTML to MediaWiki markup.</translate>

<translate>

• The <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> and <tvar|2>Template:Ll</> [[<tvar|3>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Maintenance scripts</>|maintenance scripts]] can be used to import text and images into MediaWiki.</translate>

<translate> End-user tools</translate>

<translate>

• Brief notes on converting from Microsoft .chm help files to MediaWiki</translate>

Templates imported from other wikis (such as Wikipedia) don't work for me

You probably need to install some extensions used on the source wiki, such as <tvar|3>Template:Ll</>, <tvar|4>Template:Ll</>, <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> or sometimes <tvar|2>Template:Ll</>.</translate> <translate> Also, make sure that you copied all site CSS and JavaScript required by the template.

Customising further

How can I allow use of HTML tags?

See <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> as well as <tvar|2>Template:LlTemplate:IntTemplate:IntTemplate:Ll</>. </translate>

<translate> See <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> and <tvar|2>Template:Ll</> for ways to make this safer.

How do I run a bot?

</translate>

<translate> See:</translate> Template:Ll

<translate> You might want to use the <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> framework.

How do I create a small wiki farm?

</translate>

<translate> See:</translate> Template:Ll

<translate>

How do I add meta tags?

The OutputPage class includes an addMeta method which can be used to add meta tags.</translate> <translate> The RequestContext can be used to get the relevant OutputPage object.

To add further Meta tags just add further lines as last lines of the function addMetaTags() like:</translate>

$out->addMeta ( 'description', 'This is a meta description.' );

<translate>

Why...?

…is the Help namespace empty?

The Help namespace currently ships in a blank state.</translate> <translate> It's up to you how much or how little help you give to your site visitors and whether this relates to other aspects of your site.</translate> <translate> Obviously you can easily link your visitors to help resources elsewhere.</translate>

<translate> We don't currently have a clean, internationalised set of help pages under a free license.</translate> <translate> However, if you want to copy in some help information onto your site, about how to use a wiki (a MediaWiki powered wiki) you are free to copy the <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> from this wiki.</translate> <translate> This set of pages have been deliberately created for this purpose, with wiki-neutral information, and no license restrictions.</translate> <translate> See Project:PD help. More help is available at the Meta-Wiki MediaWiki Handbook.

…are some of my images not showing up after an upgrade?

Several users have reported that, following an upgrade or a moving of their wiki, several images fail to be shown inline.</translate> <translate> The files exist, and the image description pages show a MIME type of <tvar|1>unknowncode>/unknown</> and, in some cases, a warning about potentially dangerous files.

To fix this, run the <tvar|1>maintenance/rebuildImages.php</> script from the command line.</translate> <translate> This will set MIME information for each file in the database.

Recent versions of MediaWiki implement [[<tvar|ResponsiveImages>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgResponsiveImages</>|responsive images]].</translate> <translate> Due to [[<tvar|bug>phab:T181987</>|a bug]], if the server locale is set to one that uses commas instead of dots for representing a decimal point, images may not render on some browsers/devices.</translate> <translate> This can be confirmed by inspecting a thumbnail of a medium or big image on a page with the browser tools, looking at the HTML code, and see if the <tvar|1>srcset</> attribute contains commas instead of dots when representing the <tvar|2>1.5x</> value.

…are all PNG files not being turned into thumbnails?

After upgrading to a more recent version of PHP, it is possible a different MimeMagic.php function is being used to detect file MIME types, particularly the built-in PHP function mime_content_type, which fails to detect PNG files.</translate> <translate> Search the web for <tvar|1>mime_content_type png</> for information on fixing this bug at the PHP level, possibly by editing your magic.mime file.

See [[<tvar|1>#"File is corrupt or has an invalid extension"</>|here]] for more info.

…can't I download MediaWiki {{#expr:Template:MW stable branch number+.01}}?

MediaWiki {{#expr:Template:MW stable branch number+.01}} is in a development state at present, and has not been packaged into a general release.</translate> <translate> The code can be [[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/Download from Git</>|downloaded from Git]] if desired.</translate> <translate> Or, if you want the latest development version packaged as an archive, get it at Template:MW alpha branch link (GitHub).

…doesn't this work? It works on Wikipedia!

Wikipedia and other Wikimedia web sites use the current version of the code in development; at present, this is MediaWiki 1.34.2, pulled from the current development branch.</translate> <translate> Coupled with the use of several extensions, this means that functionality between these wikis and your particular setup may differ.

• To obtain the current development code, read [[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/Download from Git</>|Download from Git]]</translate>

<translate>

• To check what version a Wikimedia wiki is running, as well as what extensions are installed, visit the Special:Version page for that wiki</translate>

<translate>

• You may also be missing several <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> that are installed on Wikipedia, see [[<tvar|2>#Templates imported from other wikis (such as Wikipedia) don't work for me</>|#Templates imported from other wikis (such as Wikipedia) don't work for me]]

…do I get a 403 Forbidden error after setting permissions on my Fedora system?

Fedora Core enables <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> by default.</translate> <translate> Instructions for setting SELinux permissions for MediaWiki [[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/SELinux</>|are available]].

…do I get Installing some external dependencies (e.g. via composer) is required?

Many web hotels only handle zip archives, and we only provide gz compressed tar archives, thus the archives has to be recompressed before uploading.</translate> <translate> This should not be much of a hurdle, but it seems like some archive tools occasionally fails to include all files in large archives.</translate> <translate> When this happen the vendor folder is left out, leaving the user with the rather non-explanatory error message.

Use a command line tool when recompressing the tar archive into a zip archive.

…do I get logged out constantly?

This is probably related to cookies or session data. See Log in problems for information.

If this is happening constantly to all users, it probably means that caching is misconfigured. Setting <tvar|1>$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;</> can be used to determine if caching is the cause of the problem. If that solves the problem, you should still investigate what is wrong with your caching configuration. </translate> <translate>

…is it a good idea to keep user accounts?

</translate> Template:Outdated <translate> At many times you just want to remove a user account out of the wiki either because it belonged to a spammer account or you just feel like it.</translate> <translate> The appropriate choice is to block the account or rename it if needed.</translate> <translate> Here is why:

Do I just remove this row from the User table?

Rob Church posted the following regarding this issue on the wikitech-l mailing list: </translate>

<translate> Another option is to give Admins the 'hideuser' right, and indefinitely block the user with the Hide username from edits and lists option selected.

<tvar|1>Template:Ll</> is also useful.

…is the number of pages so low on Special:Statistics?

[[<tvar|1>phab:source/mediawiki/browse/master/includes/DefaultSettings.php</>|By default]], <tvar|2>Template:Ll</> is set to <tvar|3>link</>.</translate> <translate> This means the number of "Content pages" on the <tvar|1>Special:Statistics</> page only counts pages which include at least one internal link.</translate> <translate> This can be changed by setting <tvar|1>$wgArticleCountMethod</> to <tvar|2>any</>.</translate> <translate> Afterwards, run <tvar|1>Template:Ll</> and/or <tvar|2>Template:Ll</>.</translate> <translate> (On Wikimedia websites, <tvar|1>initSiteStats.php</> is run on the 1st and 15th of each month.)</translate> <translate> There might still be wrong behavior, see for example <tvar|1>phab:T212706</>.

Anti-spam

Where do I get the spam blacklist from and how do I install it?

The [[<tvar|1>m:Spam blacklist</>|spam blacklist]] extension can be found in [[<tvar|2>Special:MyLanguage/Download from Git</>|Git]], just like all other officially supported extensions.</translate> <translate> For installation and configuration instructions, consult the <tvar|1>Template:Git file</> file and <tvar|2>Template:Ll</> over here.

How do I use $wgSpamRegex to block more than one string?

<tvar|1>Template:Ll</> is a powerful filter for page content.</translate> <translate> Adding multiple items to the regex, however, can be awkward.</translate> <translate> Consider this snippet: </translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> $wgSpamRegexLines[] = 'display\s*:\s*none'; $wgSpamRegexLines[] = 'overflow\s*:\s*auto'; [...] $wgSpamRegex = '/(' . implode( '|', $wgSpamRegexLines ) . ')/i'; </syntaxhighlight>

<translate> This example code allows convenient addition of additional items to the regex without fiddling about each time.</translate> <translate> It also demonstrates two popular filters, which block some of the most common spam attacks. </translate>

<translate> See also:</translate> Template:Ll
