Since my MediaWiki postgres container is working again… Taking the vacuum through the tickets.

Some of this is so easy to fix, but you need to be able to test the changes, and often Postgres support is broken again when you want to look at any of these.

I've been setting up #Imagor to work with #MediaWiki and it's all pretty straight forward so far. (I'm writing this I guess to curse myself to a day of annoying debugging tomorrow.)

If you find a wiki page seemingly from a MediaWiki, but without a "View History" link, here’s a tip for how to find it.

Example: the old HTML Working Group (WG) wiki at W3C
* https://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/Main_Page

Note the warning at the top: “This wiki has been archived and is now read-only.”

Aside: many years ago, each group at W3C had their own MediaWiki install, in a different path and disconnected from both every other group’s wiki, and the top level general W3C wiki (http://www.w3.org/wiki). I pointed out this made no sense, since groups more often than not had overlaps in documentation, technology, practices and would of course benefit from wiki-syntax interlinking. This was never really fixed at an infrastructure level, it had to be fixed at a cultural level, convincing working groups one by one to use the general W3C wiki, and ignore any WG-specific wiki. The other apparent hazard of having a WG-specific wiki is they can be (and have been) shutdown or frozen (like the example given), breaking any chance of fixing typos, other minor errors, or creating redirects to where the work has been restarted subsequently.

Note also the lack of a "View History" link as a tab top right adjacent to the content area (or anywhere else on the page).

This is likely because the page has been archived as static HTML, preserving the markup and styling, but removing any editing or history browsing or diffing or any other form submission based features that would require a dynamic backend like MediaWiki.

Here is how to find such a page’s history:
1. Find the “last modified” date in the footer and note the year, month, day.
2. Check for the page in the Internet Archive, e.g. prepend its URL with "https://web.archive.org/web/"
3. If there’s (presumably) still no "View History" link, look at the year month day numbers in the URL — the first 8 digits after "/web/" E.g. "20260512" for this page as of today.
4. Replace those 8 digits with the year, month, day noted in step 1, with 4, 2, 2 digit numbers respectively. E.g. "20150623" for this page. Press return to load that.
5. You may have to "close toolbar" the (x) in the top right of the page content.
6. Note the "View History" link, click it.

Presto, view history on a former MediaWiki page that’s been archived to static HTML.

This is my second #WASSUP #WASSUP2026 post, and first useful web tip.

Same question, different user, different answer, by design!

An admin asks about executive pay and gets a cited answer. A regular employee asks the same and honestly gets none: your #MediaWiki chatbot only ever draws on pages the asking user may read.

No separate permission system: your wiki's existing permissions decide what it may use to answer. Confidential pages stay confidential.

We have recently updated the #starcitizen wiki to #mediawiki 1.46.0

I just have to wonder: why doesn't #Nextcloud (written in PHP) have an app to integrate* it with #MediaWiki (also written in PHP)?

I guess it could be difficult -- nowhere near as difficult as doing web-based office apps (like Collabora), but also there's probably not anywhere near as much interest in it either.

(* I'm thinking of things like... being able to edit a folder-structure as a wiki, providing MW's markup, templating and extensibility and also special syntax for referring to other Nextcloud features outside the wiki -- like non-wiki files, calendar entries...)

...and for that matter, why doesn't Nextcloud have a Git manager? (Or does it, somewhere?)

I’ve posted my newest monthly update about technical changes that impact the Commons community but that have not been communicated via the more ‘generic’ news updates.

The topics are discovered and compiled into a list by a (Claude Sonnet created) software tool and then filtered again by me and I rework the list into a shareable post.

Wo ich gerade eine Wiki Seite teilte...

Hat jemand einen Tipp, wie man das Standard Theme von MediaWiki (aktuelle Version installiert) vernünftig zur Anzeige mobiler Seite pimpen kann.

Im mobilen Modus auf dem Smartphone sehen die Seiten einfach grottig aus (vor allem Firefox, Chrome besser). Beispiel:
https://www.kruedewagen.de/wiki/Uptime_Kuma

Wikipedia sieht mobil ganz anders und gut aus. Muss da mal nachforschen, was die anwenden...

@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_plan

We 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.

#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. :)

Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes

Join the workshop at #39C3!

NEW DATE: day 4, TODAY at 13:40 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.

Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?

This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.

• What does it mean to federate knowledge repositories?
• Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?

These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.

Some further, more specific, insights and questions:

• Local-first approaches and software (e.g. Reflection)
• Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as Ibis
• What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like Anytype
• The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as Obsidian does

Notice something new on the Rainverse Wiki home page?

That's right, we have a poll!

Inspired by polls on Super Mario Wiki, we will periodically ask you, the readers, assorted questions about the Rainverse! When the poll concludes, it will be replaced by another poll, and the results will be moved to the new Poll Archive page.

This new feature is thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] . Awhile back, @[email protected] started whining on Miraheze Discord and Rainverse Matrix that there were inadequate polling options available on Miraheze. In response to Beth's whining, Claire made a whole new MediaWiki extension, and Average Helper and Claire did the hard work to get it installed on Miraheze.

I'm also ready to preemptively announce plans for the Rain Character Tournament 3 and the My Impossible Soulmate Character Tournament 1. Each character tournament will ask you to vote for your favorite character in a series of matches, with winning characters advancing to the next round until only one remains.

Neither tournament will happen for awhile: The next Rain Character Tournament will likely begin several months after the release of Rain Volume 7, while the first MIS Character Tournament will not begin until after MIS Volume 1 is released. But we can announce that when these character tournaments do happen, you'll be able to vote straight from the wiki home page.

So, I think I've reached the point in my use of #Vega that I'm able to do more or less what I want with it, specifically with respect to popping it into #MediaWiki. I've been using it to turn #TopoJSON files into locator maps to pop into country articles on the Bahaipedia #wiki, and design-wise, I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

Oh yeah, did I mention I'm kinda interested in #GIS and #mapping and such? Well there you go.
