EVALUATING

Cargo and Page Forms Considering mw:Extension:Cargo and mw:Extension:Page Forms for structured data in-wiki for SSFWIKI. Other alternative would be mw:Wikibase.

The case of SSFWIKI is much simpler whereas Consumerium's case is very complicated to start with because of the vast interoperability demands for the knowledge graphs. In SSFWIKI I would use Cargo mostly for storing metadata about outgoing links and generate user friendly lists from those.

Yaron Koren wrote Cargo and he has also written the 'Working with MediaWiki book at workingwithmediawiki.com. In the book the relevant parts are found in Chapter 16 - Cargo and Semantic MediaWiki and Chapter 17 - Page Forms.

The experience from setting up a simpler case would help me learn how it would be possible to solve the things that Consumerium needs to function.

Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35.9 seems to have gone wellEdit

Upgrade deemed complete.

Made backups and a snaphshot in preparation for upgrade to newest minor point versionEdit

Done, commencing upgrades with the wiki dedicated just to testing stuff.

Tuesday 2022-12-06Edit

Recovered from a backup from Saturday 2022-12-03T10:52:36.413442+00:00 and popping some things in manually from backups. No data was lost.

Made a snapshot and made backups, verified and distributed the backups.

Saturday 2022-12-04Edit

Attempted upgrade of this wikifamily of two, but the test wiki would not upgrade to the newest LTS, 1.39, so I needed to rollback the process, but it didn't go very well and the MediaWiki was left in internally inconsistent state and closed for editing.

Friday 2022-12-02Edit

The new LTS (1.39) came out two nights ago. Making backups and taking a snapshot in preparation for upgrades.

Made and verified backups and took some snapshots. This was due anyways and upgrading a diaspora* pod to 0.7.18.1 next, though this is not necessary as the fixed bug does not affect the diaspora* pod I keep since 2013.

Making and verifying backups after resolving the thumbnailing problem on Consumerium.org developement wikiEdit

  • I will look into how long that setting was like that and was there any rational reason for it

Saturday 2022-05-28Edit

Some problem with image thumbnailing noticedEdit

Last night I uploaded some images and noticed that the thumbnailing system is not working as it should. Looking at Special:ListFiles I notice that if the images are small enough, they do not meet the thumnailing criteria (maybe). This is probably some software component failing silently i.e. without throwing an error message. I have reached out for help in irc. The other wikis are working fine, but they are on a completely different server.

Making, verifying and stashing backups and taking a snapshotEdit

Going to make backups and also take a snapshot, while waiting for some help or some realization of what is wrong, how did it go wrong and how to fix it.

Done. Going to make a snapshot of the system disk as well. Jukeboksi (talk) 17:02, 28 May 2022 (CEST)

Solved the lack of thumbnail generationEdit

Solution was to set $wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse = true; # default is false # [1]
