Next version of mw missing from navigation (1.31)

5
121.219.12.173 (talkcontribs)

Go to MediaWiki 1.30, then check the navigation on the right, 1.30 and 1.32 is there, but 1.31 is missing. How am I supposed to easily get to the soon to be released next version without manually searching for it?

Jdforrester (WMF) (talkcontribs)

You aren't "supposed" to get unreleased versions. If they're not released yet, it's because they're not thought to be ready yet.

Ciencia Al Poder (talkcontribs)

Jdforrester: That's nonsense. MediaWiki 1.31 is a Release Candidate. How can people test it to see if there are bugs previous to formal release if it isn't made available?

Also, that's not the object of the question. The box at the top-rigt of the page contains the following items:

The problem is that MediaWiki 1.31 is not appearing there (but 1.32 is!).

Regular end-users are absolutely not the right audience for Release Candidate software. The people looking to test it out are likely expert MediaWiki sysadmins, developers, and others who follow the mediawiki-l mailing list, not the more normal kinds of sysadmins who aren't necessarily expert in how labyrinthine bugs in MediaWiki can be explored.

The problem is that MediaWiki 1.31 is not appearing there (but 1.32 is!).

Wait a week or whatever and it'll appear when it's released. I don't see this as a problem. When 121… asked "How am I supposed to easily get to the soon to be released next version without manually searching for it?", and answer is "you aren't".

(If instead you want to debate having a link to the bleeding-edge master in the list, that's a fine discussion point, but not really the question asked.)

If the alpha version is there, the release candidate clearly should be too. It's simply easy navigation between relevant versions.

As for why should someone have easy access, maybe they want to easily see what is the upcoming version either because they are looking to update when it comes out, or are a user looking at the new features for when the wiki they use is updated?

Where should I ask for marking pages for translation?

Summary by Pipetricker

This page seems to be as good place as any.

Pipetricker (talkcontribs)

Three questions:

  1. What is the best place to find the answer to question number 2?
  2. What is the best place to ask for marking pages for translation?
  3. Can someone mark Help:Notifications/Notifications types for translation, please.
Ciencia Al Poder (talkcontribs)

I don't know where it could be asked. Probably this is a good place to do that.

Anyway, translation administrators have a page to list all pages with pending changes that need to be marked for translations, I'd assume they would routinely review them, but seeing there are more than 3000(!) pages marked for translation but with pending changes, maybe someone is not doing their duties...

Edit: I've now taken a closer look to this special page, and apparently not all listed pages have pending changes, which makes that page not so useful at all. It's hard to check for pages that require approval if one needs to check the action links and see if a "mark for translation" link exists. There aren't so many pages that need to be reviewed, then.

PS: I've marked that page for translation.

Pipetricker (talkcontribs)

Thanks for the reply and for the admin action. It seems like the bolded links on Special:PageTranslation are the pages with changes which are not marked for translation (I did a search for documentation of that, but couldn't find any).

Hi,

The Mediawiki docker package is building and running fine at my end for ARM64v8 architecture.

Build from: stable

Please suggest, what needs to be done to raise the request to add support for ARM64v8 arch at official docker library too.

Web banner about EU Parliament Copyright Directive vote of 5 June 2018

Summary by Ciencia Al Poder

Banner is no longer displayed

Micheledisaverio (talkcontribs)

Good afternoon, some wikipedias are showing a homepage web banner and have blocked users'edits, in order to sensitize the public opinion about the Directive Proposal the European Parliament will vote on 5 June.

Connecting by a PC to es.wikipedia.org and it.wikipedia.org homepage:

  • it.wikipedia shows a disclaimer which asks Javascripts has been enabled in the Internet browser. By a PC website connection, users won't see anything both for the desktop and for the mobile version.
  • es.wikipedia has blocked articles'editing, but there is no redirect to the disclaimer, even when users try to edit any article.

So the reasons of this editing block seem not to be explained to the users with a fixed connection device.

De and fr.wikipedia hasn't any disclaimer or editing block.

The Directive Proposal impacts Internet citizens of all the Europe, and legitimates itself by virtue of the continental dimension of the copyright matter.

For this reason, it will be more effective a common form of civil action, coordinated among wikipedia of different languages.

mediawiki 1.31.0, SQL-Error when uploading

Error: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'oi_deleted,oi_sha1,oi_description,NULL,NULL ORDER BY oi_timestamp DESC LIMIT 10' at line 1.

The Error is the double comma in the GROUP BY part between oi_user_text and oi_deleted

Ciencia Al Poder (talkcontribs)

Normally, SQL errors also contain a SQL comment with the name of the method executing the query. It would be nice to have that, and also the backtrace (see Manual:How_to_debug for more details).

The SQL statements joins with the flaggedrevs table, which is part of an extension. You may try to disable that extension and see if the error is still reproducible, and then BUGREPORT against that extension.

Topsnet-holgerd (talkcontribs)

Yes, you are right, when deactivating FlaggedRevs, the error does not occur. Maybe I shall turn to the developers of this extension.

And sorry, the function, that causes the error is:

Function: LocalFile::getHistory

And here's the backtrace:
