That's strange the only math tag I can find is
<math>x</math>

Really strange indeed, I can't reproduce it locally, but on enwiki gives the same result at reported.

@mobrovac: Can you get access to the logs? Maybe wikisource has a special configuration.

Our special:version should show any extension differences (there are a few), and the conf shows config differences.

• same issue at fr.wikisource
• NO issue at mul.wikisource

We have a test wikisource somewhere

the same issue on pl ws.

I have no idea how to proceed. Maybe it's related to the visualeditor restbase configuration?

Is there an easy means to compare enWS and mulWS configs to spot difference? Neither should have visualeditor.

Understanding multilingual wikisource configuration is a pain because the software considers it to be a wikipedia:

krenair@tin:~$ mwscript eval.php sourceswiki
> var_dump( $site );
string(9) "wikipedia"

> var_dump( $wgServer );
string(16) "//wikisource.org"

Because DB name is 'sourceswiki' instead of ending in 'wikisource' like the others. I really wish we could rename wiki databases sanely. And I'd like to drop the 'wiki' suffix in favour of 'wikipedia' for the wikipedias, but that's a huge deal compared to just fixing wikisource.org.

Now, UseVisualEditor is set like this:

'default' => true,
'nonbetafeatures' => false,

'wikisource' => false,  # Paused until ProofreadPage integration is good to go
'wiktionary' => false,  # Paused until template editing is more tightly integrated
'frwiktionary' => true, # Per community request
'svwiktionary' => true, # Per community request

Which means it has VE enabled.

Could someone from Wikimedia-production-error provide the stack trace here?

@Physikerwelt, does the math extension rely on VisualEditor settings? If so, then that would probably fail for wikisource.

The relevant code (well, mostly a comment) is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EMAT/browse/master/MathRestbaseInterface.php;5d837f1af391b3386f3bbbb2ecb3dd064d0ea306$141-175
It tries it's own config setting (which I think Wikimedia sites just don't use) and then attempts to fall back through VisualEditor's identical setting, but of course that's not set up either (we don't set it for wikis where either there's no VE or we don't want the VE client accessing RESTBase directly, e.g. private wikis).

Which means it has VE enabled.

IIRC, the 'wikisource' in this config is a reference to a group rather than a db name. I don't see any VE preferences on wikisource, so am assuming that VE is disabled as intended.

I should ask you to read the rest of the comment, but really, you have access to this as well:

krenair@tin:~$ mwscript eval.php sourceswiki
> var_dump( $wmgUseVisualEditor );
bool(true)

You'll find it listed at https://wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures too.

@Krenair: I guess the question is whether English Wikisource has a dbname of 'enwikisource', or 'sourceswiki'.

I was discussing sourceswiki, which has VE enabled, and therefore the Math extension works there. The Math extension has issues on other wikisources (yes, including enwikisource) because VE is not enabled and therefore it does not know how to connect to RESTBase.

So we just need to set up RESTBase config for Math? (and probably disable VE at mulWS?)

Change 261321 had a related patch set uploaded (by Glaisher):
Set $wgMathFullRestbaseURL so that MathML works even if VE is disabled

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/261321

The math extension uses the following logic to find the restbase connection:
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Math/blob/master/MathRestbaseInterface.php#L141-L176

I filed T122567: Disable VisualEditor at Multilingual Wikisource (sourceswiki) for disabling VE there.

Change 261321 merged by jenkins-bot:
Set $wgMathFullRestbaseURL so that MathML works even if VE is disabled

@Reedy was kind enough to deploy it today and all seems to be fine after deploying.

@Reedy thank you.

Now works for me. :-)

works fine, thanks.

Thank you all!
