mediawiki.org does not offer Breville Smart Convection ovens.

I am in the process of purchasing one of your Breville Smart Convection ovens. However, I would like to know if I can use stainless steel pans or other kinds of plates in the oven? I am not sure that the high temperatures would not melt or leak the enamel from the platters and trays into the food. I would like to make an informed decision with this purchase. I await your response. Thank you! Beverly J.

Wrong support forum.😕

I note a lot of links have 'page no longer exists', so how do I get that info?

Is there a single person who manages this page/links?

Let me know, please.

Please explain which website you refer to. Please provide a full example link.

I would like to add an image with the following source code to Media Wiki 1.32.1:

File:QR-Code.jpg

Header

]

Unfortunately only the headline is shown and not the picture. In the localSettings.php I inserted the following array: $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc',

   'xls', 'mpp', 'pdf', 'ppt', 'tiff', 'bmp', 'docx', 'xlsx',
   pptx', 'ps', 'odt', 'ods', 'odp', 'odg', 'mp4');

Does anyone have a hint for me?

Hello,

on my wiki pages, I used the extension "NiceCategoryList2" to get a complete TOC on my starting page, as you can see here:

http://www.psych-med.de/wiki/index.php?title=Hauptseite

Unfortunately, the extension isn't maintained anymore, so I need an alternative after updating.

I tried "categorytree" and "DynamicPageList3" but wasn't able to get the same result (categories as headings, subpages as links).

For "DynamicPageList3" I studied the manual but didn't find a support page or forum to ask.

Can anyone tell me if or how I can get a complete table of contents on a wiki-page?

Thank you!

I'm pretty certain this would be possible with DPL3 - I need to do something similar and if I manage it I'll add a message here.

Just read your comments on your other topic. It's definitely possible to use recursion in DPL3 to display the category/page structure from a named top category (or alternatively to use separate sub-templates/queries for whatever level you want to go down to). I've got this working but it is similar to CategoryTree in that it displays the categories as links too, which is not what you want. I hope it will be possible to add some sort of "if" statement in the middle of the DPL3 query to show the categories as text (maybe even headings) rather than links. Maybe wishful thinking.

Hi Jonathan,

thank you for your encouragement. I'm also quite sure that it must be possible, but didn't get it working so far. I tried different statements, but only the pages of the top category are shown in a rather unclear way. If you can manage it, I would be very happy for a solution.

Unfortunately, there's no support from the authors or other users of the extension, at least I couldn't find one.

...and can you post/show me your query using recursion?

Please do not repost questions that have already been answered: Topic:V0dukrfwrhskumbm

See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224275

Hello, after update to MW 1.32.1 (Windows Server 2008 R2, PHP 7.1.14, MariaDB 5.5.5-10.3.14) it is not possible to upload image through interface of Visual Editor. The dialog returns a strange error after click "Upload".

Could not store upload in the stash (UploadStashFileException): "Could not store file "D:\Wiki\Dev/App_Data/temp/chunkedupload_cb59cde85454" at "mwstore://local-backend/local-temp/2/29/20190520131613!chunkedupload_cb59cde85454.".".

However, it is possible to upload file through Special:Upload page.

Any idea ?

Thank you

In any case, you can always upload files via Special:Upload.

I figured that out. Solution is here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224275

Is there a way for a template to count how many copies of itself are above it in the page? It'd be interested to have an 'auto vaue' in v:template:fig that works out the |number=parameter automatically.

(Copied at Topic:V0fffosf4ylovb9l)

Outside of Wikimedia Foundation Wikis, there is Extension:Variables.

Wow, the phabricator discussions got pretty heated on that. Is it some specific issue with Extension:Variables, or some general issue with any similar functionality?

Apparently, this sort of auto-numbering can be achieved with just CSS: https://css-tricks.com/numbering-in-style/

I've read Topic:Uqs4b6a7u20b4fsu. I'm running MW 1.31.1, PHP 7.2, Apache2 with APCu.

If I import a large number of XML-exported pages via Special:Import, the categories for those pages aren't populated until I edit and save a new revision on each page, or run a bot to touch each page without revising them.

Topic:Uqs4b6a7u20b4fsu strongly suggests this is a symptom of the job queue not having been run, but I've got the runJobs.php maintenance task running every 30 seconds. The topic also suggests running refreshLinks.php to force reparsing the page; this also does not work.

Are there any other options that don't require running a bot across all of the imported pages after each import?

refreshLinks.php should work. If it doesn't, then there's a job queue problem, maybe caused by a misbehaving extension that crashes when the LinksUpdate jobs are run or inserted on the job queue.

Enable the display of PHP errors and add logs for errors and exceptions, as explained in Manual:How_to_debug

I'm not sure if I should ask this in the talk page of the related subject or here as I saw a warning trying to add a topic there. So I'm posting here.

I have a template and I'm trying to include a table in it

{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/bubble | content = {{{!}} {{!}} my cell {{!}}- {{!}} my cell {{!}}} }} (Wrong formatting I don't know how to fix it)

But the result is the 'bubble' with raw wikitext in it. Any idea what could cause this and how I can fix it? :) Cheers!

What about just sending |mycell1=...|mycell2=... and having the table wikitext in the template itself?

What you are saying is that it's impossible? :( I could create a second template based on the first one for this purpose... I'll investigate, thanks for the idea.

I'm not saying it's impossible - I don't know - just that I'd probably do it differently :-)

Table definitions need to start on a new line, add a new line to your content parameter.

Hello, I'm the one who's using the MediaWiki.

The design that I want is a shape that you can see with a frame or thumbnail option. The one that the box surrounds the painting.

The thumbnail option gives me a satisfactory shape, but it puts a strain on hard capacity by creating a new size image file. (If this is wrong, let me know.)

So I want to be able to resize the image in the frame option, or I want to have another option. What I want is not to create a new size image, but simply to resize the original image. This includes the design I mentioned earlier.

Please answer.

See Manual:$wgUseImageResize how to change the new size image files behavior.

No idea what exactly your question about "design" is and what you mean by "design".
