Wiki-site.com is a wiki hosting company, listed at
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Starting_and_Running_a_Wiki_Website/Hosted_Wi…
Their "Support Contact" page [1] for paid wikis says:
"For wiki management support, we've created a forum at the following
address"
(links to THIS list!!)
Rami Addady, if you're listening, at least you should say something like
"You can get help from the amazing community of MediaWiki software users
and developers at their public discussion list" NOT "We've created a forum"
What do you think?
I've often wondered why some list questions seem like people are
"demanding" support. Now I know it's because some companies literally tell
their customers that this is their support desk.

Dear all,
SecurePoll is an important extension for the WMF community, yet not a whole
lot of attention has been given to it over the years. I recently became the
owner of the project, and would like to remind you that with the EN WP
ARBCOM elections coming up, it would be great if you could help the
SecurePoll project in the following ways:
1) Review patches: we have a few outstanding patches that address key
issues with SecurPoll. They await reviews, especially by those holding +2
rights. Please spare a moment and review them.
2) Submit patches: we have quiet a few open tasks for which no patch has
been submitted. Please spare a moment on this as well.
For your convenience, here are patches awaiting review [1] and here are
open tasks awaiting a patch. [2]
Sincerely,
Huji

Has anyone been successfull installing Data Transfer on fresh-ish
installation:
MediaWiki <https://www.mediawiki.org/> 1.27.1
PHP <https://php.net/> 5.6.26 (apache2handler)
MySQL <https://www.mysql.com/> 5.5.52
ICU <http://site.icu-project.org/> 50.1.2
SMW 2.4.1
Trying to install Data Transfer, tried both 0.6.2 and dev-master. It breaks
the wiki and when I try to run update.php i'm getting:
*PHP Notice: Undefined variable: wgScriptPath in
/var/www/html/tfadvss.tsadra.org-site/extensions/DataTransfer/DataTransfer.php
on line 64*
*PHP Warning: include_once(/languages/DT_LanguageEn.php): failed to open

on line 109*
*PHP Warning: include_once(): Failed opening

*PHP Fatal error: Class 'DT_LanguageEn' not found in

Any clues?
Thanks much,

As some of you might know, we are running a quite complex project with
http://www.housetrails.org that makes use of Semantic Mediawiki and map integration.
Unforunately, updating the Mediawiki, Semantic Mediawiki and its plugins has
become very frustrating recently, since every update brought some new problems
and feature loss. For me as maintainer of the project and also the people who
help me with maintaining the system, it is often difficult to figure out where
the problems exactly are coming from, and where to address these issues.
Just a short overview:
- Edit button for Semantic Forms was missing.
The reason seems to be that Mediawiki does not update categories immediately
anymore, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Ta3n8f4l49wuqe9s
Since we are using different forms for different categories the result is that
we are having problems here, and needed to install a suboptimal workaround.
I don't know where this change took place and where to open this issue, but it
worked fine before updating to MW 1.27.
- Wrong page in print version:
When clicking on "print page", the link shows a different page than the one that
currently is displayed. No idea where that comes from, maybe a problem with the
template?
- Coordinate input via Google Map is broken in Semantic Forms/Page Forms:
This usecase always had different issues and flaws in the recent versions of
Maps and Semantic Forms. With Page Forms it doesn't work at all.
- No KML support:
KML support (e.g. display of trails) suddenly was lost when updating maps.
- Confirm Account plugin failed to work with MW 1.27. Here we found some
replacement that is not as good, but will do the job.
However, I'm clueless how to get out of this update chaos. Maybe giving access
to our test system might help developers to test some use cases that obviously
haven't been tested recently. Or any other ideas how i could help there?

Hi All,
As a lone tinker with Mediawiki, who pays some attention to things
connected with it, I thought I would ask for a follow up to last year's
Mediawiki Stakeholders survey (see:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Stakeholders%27_Group). An
itemized wishlist of most requested features was made (see:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Stakeholders%27_Group/Tasks/Featur…)
with the top four being:
1. Easier installation and upgrade (for both core and extensions).
2. Editing and Visual Editor
3. Skinning and UI
4. Access Controls and Rights
I'm asking for this follow up because as far as I can tell little to no
process has been made on these issues. Additionally in some ways it seems
some things have gotten worse. But I'm hoping I'm wrong and someone with
more knowledge will enlighten me.
Here's some examples of things not improving, or getting worse:
1. Easier Installation and upgrade
a. Three years after the death of the Extension Matrix there still is
still no way to tell when a new extension is released.
b. Composer is an easier way to install extensions, but for those without
command line access it's a nightmare.
c. The upgrade process is still the same
2. Visual Editor
a. still a nightmare to install -- not in any sense is it an out of the box
solution.
b. On a shared host forget about the Visual Editor
3. Skinning and UI
a. same as extensions -- no easy way to find out about new skins
4. Access Controls and Rights
a. The most popular access control extension (Lockdown) only barely works
in 1.27 and causes other extensions to not work: Visual Editor, MsUpload,
and Upload Wizard (there's no doubt more).
b. Almost every other access right extension is unmaintained.
c. The two Semantic Mediawiki Access Right extensions are both
unmaintained.SemanticACL does not work at all in 1.27.
I know, or assume some of these things are being worked on, but still it
seems the stakeholders feature wishlist is not being translated into action
in anyway. So anyone know something I don't, or don't see on these issues?
(Btw, this is not a knock on the hard working developers behind Mediawiki,
and/or its extensions. But a desire to see if the desires of third-party
users have any impact on the direction of software).
Thanks
Chris
Hello,
I am trying to register two different window creation functions in OOjs UI
but somehow they conflict with one another.
The code is in [1] and you can use it like [2]. If you go to a page with
sections (e.g. my talk page) you should see new links in the section
heading called "add comment" and "close".
The first time you click on each, the respective dialog will be shown. But
whichever you click on first will only work once! So for instance, if you
first click on "add comment" and then cancel the dialog, then click on
"close" and cancel, now only "close" links will work (all of them) and none
of the "add comment" links will show a dialog anymore. No error is logged
in the console either.
I am pretty sure it has to do with the way I am defining my objects, but I
am not able to figure out what I am doing wrong. Please advise.
Thanks,
Huji
