Upgrading from MediaWiki 1.18 to 1.33 and it's going badly.
Skizzerz replied to Syd Lexia's question in MediaWiki Support
If you see $wgDBmwschema in your LocalSettings.php, delete that line entirely. -
Upgrading from MediaWiki 1.18 to 1.33 and it's going badly.
Skizzerz replied to Syd Lexia's question in MediaWiki Support
What error messages did you receive as part of the upgrade process? Try generating a fresh LocalSettings.php as @HSRobinson suggested (installing to a new database, modifying the database name/password in LocalSettings.php to point to the existing 1.18 database, then running the updater again). If this method works, then the likely issue is that you forgot to update some skins or extensions -- when updating MediaWiki you also need to download the updates for all skins/extensions you use. If a skin or extension doesn't have updates between 1.18 and 1.33, it is likely not compatible with 1.33 and an alternative should be found. -
More specific than the "what links here" Special page?
Skizzerz replied to BAMaustin's question in MediaWiki Support
You need access to the backend server (such as via SSH) in order to directly look at and query the database tables. If you are looking for something more powerful to generate lists of pages on-wiki based on whatever criteria, you can check out the DPL extension. Fair warning though: it's very easy to knock your wiki offline temporarily with a poorly-written DPL query.- 1 reply

I don't see any issues on the linked page. Can you describe in more detail what your problem actually is? Screenshots or error messages are helpful

If you're unable to connect, it sounds like it may be blocked by the firewall. You'll want to ensure that HTTP and HTTPS are enabled for outside connections into your NAS box.

Version 1.0.0
12 downloads
GTag Extension for MediaWiki The GTag extension lets you insert the new Google Analytics tracking tag on your MediaWiki site (gtag.js). Requirements MediaWiki 1.34 or later Installation Download the file (a free account is required) and extract the file to your extensions directory. We recommend that you "follow" the download so that you are notified of new updates via email when they are released. To install the extension, add the following to your LocalSettings.php file: wfLoadExtension( 'GTag' ); $wgGTagAnalyticsId = 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X'; // replace with your GA id Configuration In addition to the required $wgGTagAnalyticsId, this extension features many optional configuration variables that you may add to your LocalSettings.php file. Variable Default Description $wgGTagAnalyticsId none Google Analytics Id, for example 'UA-123456789-1'. Required. $wgGTagHonorDNT true If true, honor "Do Not Track" requests from browsers. If false, ignore such requests. $wgGTagTrackSensitivePages true If true, insert tracking code into sensitive pages such as Special:UserLogin and Special:Preferences. If false, no tracking code is added to these pages. In addition to these configuration variables, you may assign the right gtag-exempt to user groups to prevent them from being tracked. This can be useful to give to staff groups so that your internal users and staff are not tracked, giving you a better idea of who is actually using your site. For example: $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['gtag-exempt'] = true; Support Free community support is available on the mwusers.org forums. Paid support plans are available as well.Free

This feature is added by the Cite extension. You will need to enable the extension in LocalSettings.php before it will work. If you downloaded MediaWiki via a tarball, you likely already have the extension files downloaded; they just aren't enabled by default.

Check if there is any disk space quota or limit that's being reached. The disk being full would be my first thought when uploads suddenly stop working when nothing else changes.

Nothing like this is built-in, so you have two options: Create the graphs in an external program and upload them to MediaWiki as image or svg files. Then, you can use the regular image embedding features to show them in the article. Install an extension such as https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph and use that to program and display the graphs.

Pretty standard composer stuff, but it's very intimidating if you aren't already familiar with it. The last response in that linked issue is correct -- you need to run the composer command from your wiki root (same directory where LocalSettings.php is). You may have casing issues as well. Generally speaking (and I cannot confirm whether this is correct for chameleon or not), the value for $wgDefaultSkin must be all lowercase but the value inside of wfLoadSkin() should have a capital first letter.

Normally, wiki accounts cannot be deleted. The UserMerge extension may be installed on the wiki in question which would allow for an administrator to reattribute your edits to someone else and then delete your account. Other wikis may have different policies regarding closing or deleting accounts. The best way to find out for sure would be to contact the administrators of the wiki in question, rather than asking on a general-purpose support forum; we have no way of knowing which account you'd like deleted. (If you are referring to your account on these forums rather than a wiki account, use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page to request an account closure)

Look for $wgActorTableSchemaMigrationStage in your LocalSettings.php. If you see it, delete it from there entirely.

Usually running update.php fixes that. Try it again and see if the update script gives you any error messages.

This question is not relevant to this forum; please contact whomever asked you to do this on their Wikipedia talk page.

php.ini is a system configuration file. If you host your own server, you can find the ini file location in phpinfo(). If you have hosting elsewhere, contact your host and ask them to change the value in php.ini. Once changed in php.ini, you should modify your LocalSettings.php file as indicated. As a side note, this is only relevant if you are still stuck on PHP 5. The most recent version of MediaWiki does not support PHP 5. If you are using PHP 7, the warning is meaningless and you can safely ignore it.
