Big annoyance with #Mediawiki: I have to type <code></code> rather than `` to add preformatted code text. 😫

Erfahrungen mit „KI“ und Code
Es gibt extrem viel, was ich an dem kritisiere, was die US-Konzerne uns als "Künstliche Intelligenz" verkaufen wollen. Aber mein Job ist es auch, das einschätzen zu können - deswegen habe ich mich ein wenig mit "Vibecoding" beschäftigt.https://kaffeeringe.de/2026/08/19/erfahrungen-mit-ki-und-code/

@luis_in_brief Have you seen the "Content partnership hub"? Even if you disagree with the proposed solutions, the problem statements are interesting.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Content_Partnerships_Hub/Strategic_planWe could come up with ways to transclude non- #Wikimedia content and make it searchable, but one big problem is how to propagate corrections back to the source. A small portion of nonfree files can get the entire collection removed.
Rijksmuseum and the Smithsonian could afford to develop their own #MediaWiki extensions.

Finally started my homelab... on my MacBook!
It was definitely a new experience for me, and I'm glad I finally found something that can keep me interested in actually using a homelab: running a MediaWiki-based wiki.
I used to be a heavy contributor to a wiki called LibreWiki, so I decided to import some of its pages into my own environment and experiment with its structure, extensions, CSS, and other features.
And no, I'm not planning to open my homelab to the public anytime soon. 😅 This is going to stay a personal project for experimenting, breaking things, fixing them, and learning along the way.

Ask your wiki in any language!
The AI Assistant replies in your language, even when the wiki content is in another. A German question on an English wiki gets a German answer, with citations to the English pages it drew from.

Stuck in "Don't even know what question to ask" land again
Looking at hosting my own MediaWiki for my DevLog
What do I put in all the fields? Do I want it in an subdirectory? Are all of the Defaults ok?Is there any guidance for how to install through CPanel/Softaculous (as that is what the Host for my Domains uses)? Any at all?

Is the new Bucket extension pronounced 'Bouquet'?

Still struggling with somewhere to host my "devlog"/ramblings.
I was thinking of using a wiki, but most Hosts seem to have 2 types:
- Public (anyone can EDIT)
- Private (no-one can VIEW)Does anyone know of a simple, cheap wiki host where JUST ME can edit, and ANYONE can view (without invite, just public viewing)?

@SarahFrumento Some accounts would be @CompGen (plain RSS feed from Wordpress blog), @eaf_blog (scraped from website, since RSS feed is too buggy), @GenWiki (recent changes from a #MediaWiki installation), @breisgau_hochschwarzwald_news (mostly from RSS feeds from their website), @archion_news, @matricula_news (the latter all scraped from website)

#GitLab at work got updated to v18+ and I see that rounded corners are back in vogue. They used to be very popular in #MediaWiki monobook circa 2008. Italian #Wikiquote never removed them, so we're now fashionable again by staying still. :)

Just wrote a piece of software (with help of #mistralai): a #MediaWiki CategoryDiver.
The tool is build e.g. to parse a custom given root category in #WikimediaCommons and get all subcategories (no depth limit) visualize them and return additionally a json file including all filenames in a certain category.

Feedback welcome.

argh, why does #mediawiki subscribe you to page edits when you leave "watch page" unchecked? why are these two distinct concepts in the first place? why can I not configure "do not subscribe by default" in my notification settings? AAAA
Edit: aha, this was an automated "topic subscription" (to "signatures") and can be deactivated in settings via unchecking "Automatically subscribe to topics". Obnoxious defaults tho, FU

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@bluespice/116991252785758238
After many years of building an “Enterprise Wiki” we think it's time for something new: a (wiki) software that intuitively structures knowledge, allows you to run highly scalable, interconnected knowledge spaces, as well as very small and simple knowledge bases, with #AI support that truly helps.
In this webinar series, you’ll get a sneak peek at the new BlueSpice Galaxy. We’re really looking forward to it.

@smsm1 I wonder what the history is of the diaries — back in the day, when they wanted a documentation site they set up #MediaWiki (which is still the right choice, I think) and in those days the obvious thing to use for blogs would probably have been WordPress. Nowadays perhaps one of the newer blog things could work.

Rust rewrite of wikiextractor, processes enwiki dump with template expansion in 24 min (instead of 13h with Python). Output is binary compatible (not counting Python mangling). CLI parameters are identical. New option to output a specific page by title (instead of pageid).

Chameleon 6 is out 🎉
The highly flexible #MediaWiki skin now builds on #Bootstrap 5. All Bootstrap 5 classes and utilities work in your wikitext and templates, and thanks to CSS variables, many customizations that used to need an SCSS recompile are now plain CSS edits.
Also new: Font Awesome 6. And the companion BootstrapComponents extension got a version 6 with Bootstrap 5 support.

Playing around with video.js beta 10. Top the new player, below the mediawiki placeholder (pre-JS loading).
It works quite well so far. i need to look at a few more gaps, but it's getting there.
