[Wikitech-l] Re: Need Help for MediaWiki Skin Development
Thanks for your reply Bartosz. I can see that the PHP based skins are working now (Mediawiki 1.35.*) but the same skin does not work on Mediawiki 1.36+. I mentioned in my previous email that I built a skin long ago and Jon Robson helped to upgrade that afterwards. My concern is that Mediawiki is moving towards Mustache and old skin docs are marked as outdated. But I found only one single page doc about this new system. Though you are saying those are valid. The core team who are working on this skin section can create the equivalent amount of docs which are available for PHP based skins. I can help to write the docs as well but as I am not building the system I have a number of queries regarding this. If I get the answers then I can create the related docs. Is there anyone who can help me to improve the skin docs of MediaWiki and I will get the help to build the skin from that. -- *Nasir Khan Saikat* www.nasirkhn.com On Sun, 20 Jun 2021 at 21:01, Bartosz Dziewoński wrote: > I can't help much with Mustache, but I'll note that all of the older > documentation is still valid.

[Wikitech-l] Need Help for MediaWiki Skin Development
Hi, I want to develop a skin for MediaWiki and need some help with a number of issues I have faced. I read How to guilde.[1]. There are references to Example skin and Skin Labs skin. I could not install the Skin Labs skin as it is tagged for MediaWiki 1.37+ and then I started to look into the Example Skin. As MediaWiki is moving to the Mustache all the previous skin related docs are marked as outdated. So can you please refer me to the doc pages where I can get the equivalent amount of guidelines of the old doc pages. I have a few queries related to migrating an old style skin to Mustache. If a straight migration is not possible, I am ok to start from scratch as well. I asked a few questions to the Support Desk [2] but did not get any response there. I tried to Discord [3] but only one person replied to me. But that was not the solution I asked for. Earlier I reported some bugs to Phabricator but did not get the answers there as well. So it would be really helpful if please help refer me to some doc, and mention where is the right place to get answers.

[Wikitech-l] Re: Need help to login with pwb.py with a bot account
This is interesting, 2-3 days I tried to use the mediawiki API from a bot
account and it was not successful. But when i tried to do the same from my
administrator account all the API was working fine.
I tried that on Mediawiki 1.35.2 on a fresh local installation.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Designing a MediaWiki Skin
Dear Phoenix, thanks for your details explanation and mentioning the useful links. I am working on a theme named MediaWikiBootstrap [1] for a while now. At the time of designing the theme i faced some issues on different pages, like Special:Allpages[2] which i mentioned in the first email, i want to use different CSS classes for the inpur field and the wrapping div, i could not find any guideline to do that. There are other pages too. I am sorry that i used the word Vecor Style but i wanted to mention the core style. In few pages and page sections i am getting formatted content and i do not have idea how to change that content. For example the search page[3]. I do not want to use the Mediawiki UI button style on that page, how can i do that? Is there any way to use the same form style in all the pages, like Search, Allpages, Contact page, Login, Registration and so on? There is way to enable vFrom but if i want to develop my own style then what are the steps? I have a plan to build other few skins for mediawiki but the documentation are not helping me to do that fast.

Where did you get this impression from? When building a skin, you're free to do the entire CSS by yourself; of course, often you'll find it easier to use some of the core styles in addition to your own styles. Do note that core styles doesn't mean Vector styles. MediaWiki core provides certain skinning-related general-purpose ResourceLoader modules, namely mediawiki.skinning.elements, mediawiki.skinning.content, mediawiki.skinning.interface and mediawiki.skinning.content.externallinks, the former three usually being somewhat mutually exclusive. Usually you'll want to make your skin load the mediawiki.skinning.content.externallinks module and one of the other three aforementioned modules. I found it very complex to develop a new skin for MediaWiki Yes, it's not a task for the faint of heart. A lot of the on-wiki documentation at MediaWiki.org is outdated, lacking or likely both. You might be interested in taking a look at some of the skins I've contributed to [1]; I'd say that Dusk [2] or [3] Truglass are pretty good examples in terms of structure. You'll need: * 2 PHP files (setup file + main skin file, i.e. if your skin would be called EpicAwesomeness, these files would be EpicAwesomeness.php and EpicAwesomeness.skin.php) * a folder (usually called resources) for assets like images, CSS and JS In the setup file, you define skin credits, make your skin a valid skin that MediaWiki recognizes and add its classes into the autoloader, as well as define the skin's custom ResourceLoader module, if and when you want to have some custom CSS. In the main skin file, you define two classes (though some skins seem to have split this into two files, one file per class; if you ask me, having these two classes in the same file is just fine because the other class is usually about 12-20 lines long); a class extending SkinTemplate (class SkinEpicAwesomeness extends SkinTemplate), which basically takes care of loading the appropriate ResourceLoader modules that your skin will need, and the class which contains most of the skin's HTML, and extends the BaseTemplate class (class EpicAwesomenessTemplate extends BaseTemplate). About a year ago i headed a project on Separating skins from core MediaWiki, could anyone please let me know the progress and current status of that project. That project was completed successfully and nowadays skins that were once bundled with MediaWiki core, such as Cologne Blue, Modern, MonoBook and Vector, are located in separate code repositories. The on-wiki project page at [4] might be useful, too. Please let the mailing list know if you have any further questions. Writing a new skin isn't easy, especially if you aren't a senior MediaWiki developer, so we'll want to streamline the process, improve the documentation and generally speaking encourage new people to write new skins! After all, MediaWiki.org currently lists less than 50 [5] skins, whereas WordPress, phpBB and other similar systems have hundreds of available skins.

Hi, I was trying to develop a MediaWiki skin based on Bootstrap3. I am facing several type of issues at the time of doing this.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Bootstrap 3 based Mediawiki Skin
thanks for the response. @Initially i was testing on the 'strapping-mediawiki' [0] skin and feel the need to upgrade it to the Bootstrap 3. At the same time i might need to change some other designs of that skin. @Stephan At this moment i am working on Mediawiki 1.21, But Chameleon requires atleast 1.22. So i could not test that. I am not that good (till now) on mediawiki skin development, i might need some help form you time to time. :) [0] - https://github.com/OSAS/strapping-mediawiki *-- **Nasir Khan Saikat* http://profiles.google.com/nasir8891 www.nasirkhn.com On Sat, Oct 12, 2013 at 9:57 PM, Stephan Gambke s7ep...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Nasir, yes, I am working on the Chameleon skin [0].

Re: [Wikitech-l] PDF Download
Hi Santosh, In some other thread of this mailing list i found that TCPDF(www.tcpdf.org/) have a good support for the unicode, but i just downloaded the code and tried it. I found that it also have some issues on for the Bengali/indic texts. Have you tried with this library? I will apply for the GSoC on this project and before staring on a specific tool i would like to study the other existing tools. Because though they do not have to full support for the languages but they are good at some points, like Render can render the texts properly and existing pdf tool works well with the collection extension. thanks nasir On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 4:55 PM, Volker Haas volker.h...@brainbot.comwrote: Hi all.

[Wikitech-l] PDF Download
Hi, From the very beginning, there is a problem in the PDF Download tool and that is it can not properly render the Bengali and some of the other Indic languages (might be all Indic languages). A few bug was reported earlier and the developers tried to solve the issues but unfortunate it was not completely fixed. Here i have a question that at this moment is there any developer of developer group is working on this issue? if yes then i want to join with him. But is no one is engaged with it then is is possible to apply GSoC for this issue. I am involved with the Wikimedia Bangladesh and within a short time we are going to arrange outreach programs outside of the city area. For that purpose the offline version will help us a lot. That is why i am interested. regards nasir khan -- *Nasir Khan Saikat http://profiles.google.com/nasir8891* ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

On clicking this a drop down menu comes with Template, where one can select the particular template like Cite Web, Cite News, Cite Book etc. And after selecting one, the window pops up and the editor fills in the details needed for the particular citation. This makes new editors job easy while putting the proper citations for the articles and need not worry about the syntax of Wiki markup. As far as I know, this thing is not available for Indic Wikipedia, can this be made possible on Indic too ?

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Mediawiki-i18n] Report on WebFonts deployment
Hi , The WebFonts is a great initiative for the indic wikipedia readers. I have tested this extension for the Bengali wikipedia. I have checked form some of the browsers (Firefox 7 8 from windows 7 and XP, Chrome 15.0 -windows 7 and XP, Firefox 7 form Uubntu 11.10) in different machines and in every case i had to face the same problem, that the page loads twice and takes an extra time for each of the pages. At the very first time the page loads with the system default font and then the whole page became empty and after that the browser shows the content with the selected web font. and the WebFonts did not work with the Android (2.3.6) default browser and in the Opera Mobile browser for android. thanks Nasir Khan Saikat Wikimedia Bangladesh On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 5:59 PM, Srikanth Lakshmanan srik@gmail.comwrote: On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 03:38, Platonides platoni...@gmail.com wrote: On 14/12/11 22:33, Srikanth Lakshmanan wrote: Language support teams :- In order to force them, if you don't test this it may break horribly for you when deployed seems way more convincing than no new goodies for you.

It's more compact (takes less storage space) and allows to format text quite fast to everyone who is familiar to wiki markup. If you are using HTML5, that means the extensions (parser functions) has to be implemented as XML tags, which are quite tiresome to input directly, so the extensions will probably require visual editor addons. Raw text editing simplifies implementation of markup extensions, some developers might do not have enough free time to develop their own visual editor extensions. That's why raw wikitext can be useful and time-saving.
