Made and verified backups and took a snapshot of the system disk

  • Making and verifying backups and taking a snapshot in preparation of trying out the recently found fix for the REST communication 404s that Visual Editor has been causing for many. 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). See ciumd:Tickets and feature request#Tickets under observation for general outline of the situation.

  • Making and verifying backups after substantial additions to ciumd:User:Jukeboksi/Wiki.study/Natural therapeutics#Alzheimer's, which I have been preparing since Saturday. I hope to get it soon to good shape in order to send to (ex) President Martti Ahtisaari of Finland, who has unfortunately come down with Alzheimer's disease.

Added 45 churches contacted in 2020

  • 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.

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")

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. Juho Kunsola (talk) 23:33, 21 July 2021 (CEST)

Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.36.1 - rolled back

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 explanation - The books of Daniel and Revelation 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)
