Sometimes when I upload a new version of a file, it doesn't change to the new version on pages. Sometimes it changes on one device but not another. Anyone know how to fix this?

By emptying your web browser cache.
Is there any way to do it without emptying it every time? For example if my friend views my website, will they have to clear cache to view the latest file version as well?
You could use a web browser with less aggressive caching behavior. This is nothing that MediaWiki can influence. This is behavior of your local web browser that you installed.
Hi,
I have a mediawiki installation configured with SimpleSamlPhp and Pluggable Auth, allowing users with ad accounts to log in.
In the pluggable Auth there's also a group mapping, making users in a specific group admins in the mediawiki.
The wiki itself is open to read, but not to edit. Now I'm wondering if there's a way to deny login for users that are not in the AD groups for admin/edit access, to not have unnecessary logins from users, that doesn't change anything from just viewing without login.
Is this possible? Basically have "require X group from AD" to createaccount? Or does this only work with workarrounds where you strip any rights from normal users except for read and you have to live with them being able to log in? Or would this have to be done on ADFS side?
Kind regards
Is it possible for an author to request speedy deletion of own comment?
Yes
I keep trying to sign into Closing Logos. When I enter my e-mail address (which has changed from the previous one) and request a new password, I receive no e-mail. Then I try to establish a new account name and use the temporary password to create a new password, but it keeps coming in as "not identified."
What's the problem? Has Closing Logos kept me from signing back in again? I don't recall making any bad comments; if I disagree with something I just overlook it.
Please tell me what I can do about this. Thanks.
Only "Closing Logos" knows (whatever and whoever that is), and we are neither "Closing Logos" nor do we have anything to do with them, so we cannot help.
I recently had to install TorBlock, LoginNotify and CheckUser extensions. Tables were created successfully for Checkuser extension but during testing only localhost adress 127.0.0.1 showed in Special:CheckUser for a user access. I guess IP gets replaced during the process somewhere incorrectly but I need to find out where to fix it. It might be due to caching but in webserver logs and cache logs IPs are correct. I wonder if TorBlock and LoginNotify extensions may be influenced by this issue.
I am new to wikis and I need some guidance. How can I either change an account status to administrator or create an admin account for someone that will be helping me create my wiki Thanks
Use the page named Special:UserRights on your wikk
I've been trying to install WikiMedia on a webhosting plan. I'm not great at Linux and such, but done my best with what I've got.
When installing Scribunto, the server host has a Lua version 5.3.4, which isn't compatable with the extention when using usr/bin/lua. If I stick with luastandalone, I get the error: Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "11".
I am asusming that there is something I'm missing if it keeps crashing. I've tried to set up error logging with $wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['errorFile'] = '/var/log/luastandalone-error.log';
but I get another error of Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/var/log/luastandalone-error.log): Failed to open stream: Permission denied, even though the proc_open setting is set in the ini file for the domain (the wiki is installed in the folder /wiki/, but not as a subomain).
MediaWiki 1.41.1 with PHP 8.2.18. Linux64 web hosting.
Thanks for reading and any advice!
It seems this provider doesn't allow you to execute your own binaries (lua standalone). You can try asking if they are willing to install LuaSandbox, or ask them to allow list your usage of the direct lua binary.
Any ideas?
not working where ? for which site ? what is it not doing ?
Hello everyone!
Im using Citoid on local mediawiki instance, in the manual reference tab there is cite web, book, news and Journal options for referencing, i've imported all the templates and modules required.
when i try to add Site web manual reference i get the template Data such as checkboxes and data inputs, but when i try to add a Journal manual reference for example, i get an empty page, no template data, only this message :
The “ Cite Journal ” template does not yet have a description, but there may be information in the documentation shown on the template page .
and if you try to open the link above you will see that the template is imported.
Is there some other templates or modules i need to import or am i missing something?
I appreciate any guidance.

I have created Template:UserScore and inputed
and in my page itself i am calling the template and adding values like this
{{UserScore

| Badges = 5
}}
