Progress in SSFWIKI

Recently added new articles to the SSFWIKI:

  1. ssfwiki:FacePinPoint.com
  2. ssfwiki:Organizations, studies and events against synthetic human-like fakes (split from ssfwiki:Synthetic human-like fakes) and
  3. ssfwiki:Help against appearance and voice theft (just a stub).

Also content and explanatory additions, structural improvements and other improvements to other articles have been made, like

  1. Renaming the biblical stuff article to ssfwiki:Biblical connection - Revelation 13 and Daniel 7 which is truer to its scope and
  2. Renaming the legal stuff article to ssfwiki:Laws against synthesis and other related crimes.

Considering mw:Extension:ShortDescription

Considering mw:Extension:ShortDescription for better user experience for mobile visitors and it has some other advantages too and looks very straightforward to take into use.

Considering mw:Extension:AutoSitemap for w:Site map solution

Considering mw:Extension:AutoSitemap, an extension to automatically keep the w:site map up-to-date and to inform the usual search engines periodically if it has changed. This would probably help search engines pick up new changes faster.

Friday 2022-01-07

Possibility to improve the popups by adding a gadget

After searching a while I found out that the mw:Extension:Popups implements w:Page Previews (SSFWIKI has this now), but the gadget that implements w:Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups is a different thing. Got some expert help in irc as Reedy said that

[perjantaina 7. tammikuuta 2022] [19.46.20 EET] <Reedy> Both the extension and the gadget should be doable

so I'm going to look into pursuing a similar popup system as Wikipedia has. There are some advantages with w:Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups e.g. renders more prettily, popups contain clickable links, popups contain quick access links to wiki editing functionality.

Thursday 2022-01-06

Made and verified backups of just the database

Done.

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 AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode to stop the mw:VisualEditor REST 404 errors exhibiting when trying to edit subpages. Adding AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode 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:

   AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

for VE to work with URL's with slashes in them

   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(?:(?!rest.php/).)*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]

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 - "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 Func.

This Apache configuration (snippet) in the VirtualHost directive in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-website.tld worked for wikis where short URLs in the format of /wiki/ and the MediaWiki residing in /w/ and document root is one directory up from /w/

   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(?:(?!rest.php/).)*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]

Thank yous to Func for solving this for us and Kghbln for asking the question in phabricator:T270376 and thanks to Bob, who brought to my attention the problem that mobile users were unable to edit wiki.

  • 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.

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.

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)

This time will try to figure out how to tweak the mw:Manual:Interface/Sidebar and mw:Extension:MobileFrontend / mw:Skin:Minerva Neue, mainly for #SSF! wiki, but perhaps also others. Yesterday I figured out a procedure to correctly enable importing in my testwiki and after I got it to work I imported citation templates to the #BCM! wiki (predecessor of SSF! wiki), SSF! wiki and in Consumerium. The dormant Wikistudy already had a selection of citation templates from back from 2013-2014ish. Juho Kunsola (talk) 13:13, 7 December 2020 (CET)

Found this picture yesterday and it seems like a wonderful source of technologies, most to be combatted, but there may be a few beneficial ones in there too. Saved an offline copy, because sometimes treasure disappears from the Internet.

So I set in LocalSettings.php

  • $wgAllowExternalImages = false; # not really needed, is false by default
  • $wgEnableImageWhitelist = true;

and enabled that particular image in MediaWiki:External image whitelist. Formatting external images is more challenging, but I would like to not copyvio this one.

Next I'm going to look into mw:Extension:ImageMap

  • The favicon.ico not showing up most of the time was fixed today. Thank you to Vulpix @ #mediawiki for singlehandedly solving this issue. The problem was that the location given for the favicon.ico was interpreted as relative to /wiki/, not root of the site. My appologies, now solved.

  • The AI needs a name to be identified by, so lets call it the Adequate Porn Watcher AI (concept) or APWAI as an acronym. If we manage to get this protecting AI up and doing its job, the product of the synthetic hate illustration disinformation filth industrialists is going to be worth next to ZERO to them. Juho Kunsola (talk) 16:39, 17 July 2019 (CEST)

Since Friday 2019-07-12 it has been occurring to me that a change of plan seems almost self-evident: Don't ban modeling of human appearance without permission, but instead make a huge AI to look at all the porn findable on the Internet. Looking at porn and modeling it will not be hurting the AI. I don't yet know could we ban some appearance modeling and still at the same time model everything that looks like a body part in every porno. Juho Kunsola (talk) 16:32, 17 July 2019 (CEST)

  • Exported the citation templates from w:Category:Citation Style 1 templates, but the import failed due to error on my part (I accidentally imported everything to the Template-namespace, instead of each items default namespace) and probably some missing dependencies. Manually deleted all things imported into the Template-namespace. Installed mw:Extension:Scribunto and mw:Extension:TemplateStyles as advised in #mediawiki @ w:freenode IRC. For the citation templates to work also some Modules need to be imported from Wikipedia, but which and how to get the correct set is a bit unclear atm.
