Categories

I created this page https://wiki.freepascal.org/Install_on_aarch64_Arch_or_Manjaro but it doesn't appear in the Install categories page here https://wiki.freepascal.org/Category:Install can anyone tell me why please? - Dieselnutjob talk 5 August 2020.

The system only re-indexes the categories once per day. Even then, MediaWiki sometimes requires someone with server access to run a manual re-indexing process. If your page does not show up after a couple of days, then log a request in the Bugtracker. Trev (talk) 08:21, 5 August 2020 (CEST)

Image database errors

Trying to delete or overwrite existing images results in a database error.

See Bugtracker Issue #36784

Fixed in the recent upgrade of MediaWiki to version 1.35.6 Trev (talk) 10:12, 25 May 2022 (CEST)

Running logo

Please, please, please get rid of the animated gif logo! I can't read the page with that thing never stopping.

• You can get rid of the animated gif logo by logging in and choosing a different skin under My Pages | Preferences | Appearance. I use the Cologne Blue skin and it looks and works fine.
• You can also flag it with AdBlock - this seems to get rid of it from any site that uses it.
• easiest: use wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org instead of wiki.freepascal.org : http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Site_Feedback - Arent (talk) 13:00, 22 September 2016 (CEST)

Editor

Is this still alive? Any changes to get update for the mediawiki engine, the editor is so much developed 1(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?veaction=edit) since the version in use in this wiki. Also something like 2(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree#The_.3Ccategorytree.3E_tag) might be handy for indexing ie. FPC category with lots of cluttered subcategories. --LV 15:51, 28 January 2016 (CET)

Layout

Please set default skin to vector instead of monobook in LocalSettings.php so that not-logged-in users (most?) do not see the archaic interface anymore. Arent (talk) 11:13, 21 September 2016 (CEST)

$wgDefaultSkin = "vector";

Help

mediawiki:helppage should point to Help:Contents instead of default https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents - Arent (talk) 12:25, 23 September 2016 (CEST)

Image upload

In the page «Upload file» the permitted file types are: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, webp. But it looks like webp is not supported:

File:time-limit.webp
