Hey there, ext.wikiEditor.toolbar is a very old feature that was removed in this patch, which shipped in REL1_30 7 years ago. It sounds like you've got some local gadget/etc. that's trying to interact with that? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 18:54, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

@Jdforrester (WMF),is there any way to find out which one is trying to interact with it >? LuciferVN (talk) 15:17, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Is it possible to match whole words only in Find/Replace?

I tried \bword\b but no luck. Spiros71 (talk) 11:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

There are two ways to match whole words: you can use \bword\b with the (.*) button selected (that makes the search use regex); or you can just type in word and select the button with the quote icon, which forces the search to match only full words.

Apparently it does not appear to work for non-Latin characters, i.e. Greek. Test with these: λέξη, λέξης, αλέξης. Spiros71 (talk) 15:08, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Suggestion for (fixing) a minor TYPO

In the "[https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:WikiEditor&oldid=6741349 Latest revision as of 18:44, 6 September 2024]" version of this page, the "Installation" section ("Extension:WikiEditor#Installation") contains the sentence <blockquote>WikiEditor uses them to represents the icons.</blockquote>

It seems that the infinitive "to represent" should properly be spelled without any final letter "s". I apparently do not have the privileges to make a change, (the removal of that final letter "s").

I suggest that (if you agree that it would be a good idea, and) if you have the privileges to edit this ("non" article?) web page, you might kindly make the change to remove that final letter "s".

Thank you.

I corrected it. Thanks for pointing it out. Mr. Starfleet Command (talk) 17:03, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

HTTP 500 Error Only in WikiEditor, Special:Upload Works Normally

I’m encountering an issue with my MediaWiki setup where I get an HTTP 500 error (Server returned error: HTTP 500).specifically when trying to use the WikiEditor to upload an image. The error happens when I attempt to upload an image, but everything works fine with the Special:Upload page itself.

The issue is only occurring within the WikiEditor during the image upload process, and I’m unable to identify the exact cause. I’ve checked the logs, but there doesn’t seem to be a direct indication of what’s causing this specific error when uploading an image.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on why the WikiEditor might be causing this HTTP 500 error during the upload, while other pages like Special:Upload function without problems?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You mean uploading an image via the 2nd tab of the File dialog inside the WikiEditor ?

This would mean an upload via the API (as opposed to Special:Upload, which is an upload via webform). Any error 500 should show up in both Webserver logs, and in the PHP error logs. Standard advise for debugging problems applies. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 13:13, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
