Hi,
maybe this is a silly question and I apologize in advance, but I'm looking for a way to add (or better move) an image already uploaded in my wiki to a different category (chosen by me) from the default one: "Category:Uploaded_with_UploadWizard".
I forgot to do it at upload time.
How do I do that?
Thank you.

hello mediawiki users,
I have a bullet list:
* one
* two
* A very very... long line
Now I would like to wrap the third line to ease editing
(but without the intention of changing the layout):
* one
* two
* A very very...
long line
-> in this case, the bullet list ends at "long line"
which is now indented at the level of the bullet points.
I also canon seem to escape the newline:
* one
* two
* A very very... \
long line
This would be ok layout-wise:
* one
* two
* A very very...<br/>long line
but then I have these very long lines in the edit window still.
Any Ideas for this simple problem?
Many Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix

TLDR:
* We'd like to drop MySQL 5.5 support for the
"lagDetectionMethod=pt-heartbeart"
option in $wgLBFactoryConf.
* If you have not configured the lagDetectionMethod option, or use MySQL
5.6+, then this does not affect you.
Hi,
If you host MediaWiki using MySQL (or MariaDB) and have a cluster of two or
more database hosts (using replication), then MediaWiki uses lag detection,
via the wikimedia/rdbms library. For example, if lag is too high, MediaWiki
tries to connect to a different replica database, or it may automatically
set the wiki in read-only mode for a few seconds until replication catches
up.
By default, MediaWiki uses the MySQL built-in "Seconds_Behind_Master"
feature to power this lag detection.
We also support use of Percona's pt-heartbeat service, which can be more
accurate, [1] and is what WMF currently uses. However, we are currently
unable to use its accuracy very well, because TIMESTAMPDIFF is not
supported in MySQL 5.5 (it was introduced in MySQL 5.6.4). [2]
In order to make pt-heartbeat more useful as a lag detection method, whilst
avoiding expensive roundtrips or runtime detection (which are not
acceptable in this hot code path), we'd either have to support three lag
detection methods, or to change the current one to require MySQL 5.6.
MySQL 5.5 reached end-of-life in Dec 2018, and there is an open proposal at
T273375 to drop support for it completely in a future version of MediaWiki.
[3] However, I'd like to propose we drop support for it now with the
pt-heartbeat feature specifically, as being opt-in and rarely used, so as
to not require additional complexity and maintenance for us in the form a
third lag detection method. Especially, as it might not be used by anyone.
If you're affected by this, then the upcoming MediaWiki 1.36 release would
require that you either set MW to use the default lag detection instead, or
upgrade to MySQL 5.6+.
