==== Finally enabled VisualEditor successfully ====
The solution given here [[phabricator:T270376#7365202]] after the breakthrough discovery [[phabricator:T270376#7364419]] by Func needed to be tweaked also with <code>AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode</code> to stop the [[mw:VisualEditor]] REST 404 errors exhibiting when trying to edit subpages. Adding <code>AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode</code> to the Apache 2.4 config inside of the <VirtualHost>-directive seems to yield a completely functioning VisualEditor setup.
This advice I found in [[mw:Extension:VisualEditor#Allowing VisualEditor on page titles containing slashes]] after it was kindly pointed out by an irc-goer in #mediawiki. So the documentation has been improved lately.
So two configuration changes to Apache2 were needed to successfully enable VisualEditor:
<pre>
  AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
</pre>
for VE to work with URL's with slashes in them
<pre>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(?:(?!rest.php/).)*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
</pre>
for REST traffic to work as intended and naturally also short URLs working (MediaWiki is residing in w/ and wiki URL is /wiki/) and no more REST 404 errors at all.

==== Enabled VisualEditor ====
I finally enabled [[mw:VisualEditor]] on all wikis. I'm still getting REST 404 errors with VisualEditor, but I have verified that those exhibit '''only when trying to edit a subpage'''. When trying to edit a subpage with VE, it fails with REST 404 when loading the VE, but if trying to create a subpage with VE it fails only after the final "save page".
This is an matter of importance, because mobile users have been unable to edit any pages due to an issue with [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit]] and [[mw:Extension:MobileFrontend]] not quite playing catch with each other.
I was alerted to the issue of no captcha by a user of the Consumerium development wiki on [[ciumd:User:Jukeboksi/Log/2021#Sunday 2021-02-07]].
I filed a ticket on it [[ciumd:MediaWiki/Tickets/Phabricator T274807 - No CAPTCHA from ConfirmEdit served for users that use MobileFrontend]].
I did try to enable VisualEditor on 2021-05-13 but run into 404 problems regarding the REST-traffic, as have many other people. See catalogue [[phabricator:T266971|phabricator:T266971 - ''"Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server" (HTTP 404/403) and similar errors (catalog)'']]. The weird thing about these 404's was that they did not start to exhibit immediately after enabling VisualEditor, nor did they exhibit consistently.
It seems that the '''404 errors''' with the REST-communication used by VisualEditor '''are due to old style of apache2 rewrite engine settings'''.
For the problem of 404 errors in REST-communication I took the solution given here [[phabricator:T270376#7365202]] after the breakthrough discovery [[phabricator:T270376#7364419]] by [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Func/ Func].
This Apache configuration (snippet) in the VirtualHost directive in <code>/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-website.tld</code> worked for wikis where short URLs in the format of <code>/wiki/</code> and the MediaWiki residing in <code>/w/</code> and document root is one directory up from /w/
<pre>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(?:(?!rest.php/).)*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]

At least in one particular case it turned out to be an Apache2 rewrite configuration issue. Will try it out in my private test wiki and if it works there then I'll enable it in an another wiki and if that works then probably roll out the Visual Editor to all wikis, as that will enable also mobile users to edit the wiki (an CAPTCHA issue of long standing, pointed out by a Consumerium.org development wiki user).

I've been busy with improving the #SSFWIKI:

Sauli Niinistö-like]] and [[ssfwiki:Mediatheque/2020/Nixon's appearance and voice stolen - a public service announcement digital look-alike and sound-alike by MIT's Center for Advanced Virtuality|Nixon-like]] to sub-pages and linking them to articles where needed

==== Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35.3 ====


* Reverted MediaWiki to last Friday's state, upgraded the MediaWiki from 1.35.2 to 1.35.3 and performed backups and snapshotting. MediaWiki 1.35 is LTS, so going to stay on that. Going to recreate the few edits manually from a temporary wiki I have that contains the edits lost in the revert.

==== Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.36.1 - rolled back ====
<s>Upgraded the wiki MediaWiki briefly to 1.36.1.</s> This was rolled back to a backup from 2021-07-16
After the upgrade the system started throwing 5 deprecation notices about the [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo]]'s way of doing things.
The good folks at MediaWiki development did some restriction(s) on parser functions (See [[mw:Release_notes/1.36]] for more info). EmbedVideo implements a parser function.
Searching for a solution to the problem it appears that YouTubes and Vimeos can be embedded via the [[mw:Extension:Widgets]] and installing and enabling the widgets [[mw:Extension:Widgets#Video/Audio_widgets]]. As a long term solution this would appear better, because EmbedVideo has previously been interfering with [[mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler]], apparently due that they both take <nowiki>[[File:Filename.ext]]-syntax</nowiki> The TimedMediaHandler would have some good uses here in #SSF! wiki. There are some pieces in the [[Mediatheque]] that would benefit from timed text pointing out where it looks human and where it looks like a fake, which TimedMediaHandler implements.
As a temporary solution to suppress the deprecation messages I found "<code>$wgDeprecationReleaseLimit = '1.x';</code> [to suppress all deprecation warnings added in version > '1.x']" as a solution in [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:W5jble3el3qtwzp1 MediaWiki topic ''Is there a way to suppress Deprecated messages using PHPunit?''] [[User:Juho Kunsola|Juho Kunsola]] ([[User talk:Juho Kunsola|talk]])

  • Yesterday and today I added 45 churches contacted in late 2020 to Bibles and churches#Contacted. In 2020 I also mailed all the parliamentarians of the Finnish 2019-2023 session and also other political parties in Finland. Probably going to add those somewhere here.

Made and verified backups[edit | edit source]

  • Making and verifying backups. Recent improvements were mostly made to ssfwiki:Synthetic human-like fakes (added contact information for the organizations) and ssfwiki:Glossary (sourced translations and linked the wikidata items in ongoing effort to make it more like a "Glossary and a dictionary")
Done, also took an interim snapshot of the system disk

Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35.3[edit | edit source]

  • Reverted MediaWiki to last Friday's state, upgraded the MediaWiki from 1.35.2 to 1.35.3 and performed backups and snapshotting. MediaWiki 1.35 is LTS, so going to stay on that. Going to recreate the few edits manually from a temporary wiki I have that contains the edits lost in the revert. Juho Kunsola (talk) 23:33, 21 July 2021 (CEST)

Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.36.1 - rolled back[edit | edit source]

Upgraded the wiki MediaWiki briefly to 1.36.1. This was rolled back to a backup from 2021-07-16

After the upgrade the system started throwing 5 deprecation notices about the mw:Extension:EmbedVideo's way of doing things.

The good folks at MediaWiki development did some restriction(s) on parser functions (See mw:Release_notes/1.36 for more info). EmbedVideo implements a parser function.

Searching for a solution to the problem it appears that YouTubes and Vimeos can be embedded via the mw:Extension:Widgets and installing and enabling the widgets mw:Extension:Widgets#Video/Audio_widgets. As a long term solution this would appear better, because EmbedVideo has previously been interfering with mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler, apparently due that they both take [[File:Filename.ext]]-syntax The TimedMediaHandler would have some good uses here in #SSF! wiki. There are some pieces in the Mediatheque that would benefit from timed text pointing out where it looks human and where it looks like a fake, which TimedMediaHandler implements.

As a temporary solution to suppress the deprecation messages I found "$wgDeprecationReleaseLimit = '1.x'; [to suppress all deprecation warnings added in version > '1.x']" as a solution in MediaWiki topic Is there a way to suppress Deprecated messages using PHPunit? Juho Kunsola (talk)

The iFrame Widgets that are used to transclude websites are broken at the moment Juho Kunsola (talk) 06:11, 17 July 2021 (CEST)

UPDATE: Trying to enable this leads into error messages being thrown because the extensions mw:Extension:EmbedVideo and mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler take the same syntax, which apparently lead to an error message being displayed.

  • I was made aware today by a user on the Consumerium development wiki that there is a problem with invoking the mw:CAPTCHA for the mobile users, rendering mobile users unable to edit any pages. This is a semi-known issue in mw:Extension:MobileFrontend. There is an another minor issue to patch also. I'm looking for a solution or workaround to the problem for our mobile users and making backups now. Juho Kunsola (talk) 16:10, 7 February 2021 (CET)

  • Looking at mw:Help:Tables because many visitors of Biblical connection - Revelation 13 and Daniel 7 are using a mobile device with around 360 px screen width and I originally did not think of mobile users, hence the table in there is a bit tight for mobile screens. I'm thinking of reorganizing it and figuring out a way to format the explainer-portion as 100% width of the table. Juho Kunsola (talk) 13:23, 22 January 2021 (CET)
Got it sorted. Key was to set the columnspan correctly and just making the tables 2-columns wide instead of 4. Juho Kunsola (talk) 18:37, 22 January 2021 (CET)
