That's very odd, it should just work. You're sure you have $1 in there exactly (e.g. no space between $ and 1)? If your wiki is public, can you link to it? -- bawolff p.s. When finding what mediawiki messsage to change, appending ?uselang=qqx (or &uselang=qqx) to the url can be much easier than

Hi. The line you point out is wrong. It should be ->parse() instead of ->text() (In order to prevent admins from inserting javascript by editing the page MediaWiki:duplicator-success-revisions). In fact most of the message related stuff is wrong in this extension. I think the issue you're experia

I have an urgent need/desire with MW-1.28.2 to have a bug-fix/feature made in the Extension:Duplicator [master-cf59a69] by Rob Church and Vitaliy Filippov. The problem is that the current version doesn’t create wiki links for the source (old) and destination (new) articles. [0] I think this cou

John, As I posted previously, I am not an Apache admin. I know very little about it, and I know nothing of rewrite rules. I had previously tried going directly to the index.php, and I get redirected to the "/mediawiki/Main_Page". Thanks Daryl On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 10:45 AM, John wrote:

As I said leaving mediawiki in the root (pointing DocumentRoot to the mediawiki directory) is not recommended. When I set up a wiki I tend to put the code in /wiki and use rewrite rules to make /w the clean URLs. I would also check your rewrite rules too. Try going directly to your index.php page

Hi, I just wanted to apply the patch for the new version 1.27.4 but dry- running the patch gave me some error messages. So I stopped. For version 1.27.3 there have been no patch so I manually made the changes. Can I simply use the patch ignoring the error messages? Or what should I do? Here comes
