The link in the TOC still works as expected. This needs clearer steps that allow someone else to reproduce. Also, does this also happen when using safemode ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Locating_broken_scripts )?

Please give me an example how to use editarticle.py to do this:

echo "Hello world" > Test.wiki;
python pwb.py pagefromfile -summary:"The edit summary" -title:"Test" -file:"Test.wiki" -textonly -force

Sorry, this would be too hard, forget it. pagefromfile should be ok for your purpose

Add the --recursive flag to git clone.

pagefromfile.py is very useful now. To get the script working I have to run this to download the required scripts/i18n/ directory:

@Dvorapa Thank you.

Can anyone suggest a better title for this issue?

Exactly, pagefromfile.py can't overwrite pages. It says:

Page Test already exists, not adding!

You may use one of these options:

-appendtop    Add the text to the top of the existing page
-appendbottom Add the text to the bottom of the existing page
-force        Overwrite the existing page

First of all, the file should have correct Pywikibot license.

Finally for this purpose we already have pagefromfile.py or a little bit easier add_text.py. You can also use basic.py, which has the same functionality as add_text.py, but contains everything the proper Pywikibot script should have (so it is left here as an example to novice PWB script programmers).

Excuse me, what did I remove? I just improved the text.

I'm sorry but I have absolutely no idea how that happened. I just edited the text and saved it.

Ok, no problem..

I should note that I need to edit directory.fsf.org (not Wikipedia).

This works:
search="meaning"; curl "https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srwhat=text&format=json&srsearch=$search" | jq .query.search[].title
search="meaning"; curl "https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srwhat=text&format=json&srsearch=$search" | jq .query.search[].wordcount

@Aklapper I corrected the example. I think it's an issue if this cannot be listed because it should be possible to count hits in MediaWiki pages. For example curl+jq could be used as a search engine to list them in a terminal.

@Aklapper I tried to describe it better. Do you understand it?

Title:Text in page

• Foo: Hello world.
• Bar: Apples are good
• Baz: Something in this world that takes you to another world.

Well, I'm not sure - I don't know exactly what you want that message to look like. Presumably you want the message to also link to the form and category, but I don't know what you want it to do with the property pages.

No, I don't agree with showing the pages as links - I think the property pages think makes it untenable, but even not counting those, I don't see the need for it. But I'm re-opening the issue. If you can, please re-title it and make the explanation clearer.

Sorry, I meant "Is there some problem with generating the other pages?" as a question that would be in the mind of a user who saw just the template link - it wasn't meant as a question to you.

(Although it's good to know that those other pages were eventually created.)

The message could certainly also link to the form and category - though I don't know how it could link to all the property pages (if SMW is being used).

Well, the idea is that Special:CreateClass creates a bunch of pages - the fact that one of them gets created first, and possibly well before the others, is really just an implementation detail. If the result text were to only link to one of the pages, it could lead to confusion about why just that one is getting linked - is it more important than the others?

Oh... when you wrote "have be created", you meant "have been created"

In T185860#3927222, @Yaron_Koren wrote:

@David_Hedlund - no, "will be created" is correct - Special:CreateClass creates jobs that in turn create all those pages. Have none of those pages been created yet? If so, my guess is that there's a backlog of jobs that haven't been run yet. I would ask someone who has command-line access to the wiki to run the script runJobs.php, if you want these jobs to get run faster.

This has nothing to do with rollback rights or extensions.

There's nothing to undo for the first revision of a page. You created that page, even if the edit area was pre-filled with the default message provided by MediaWiki. This message may have changed, or even be no longer in use after a MediaWiki upgrade or uninstalling an extension.

It is, however, a valid concern, to not see the "default" content of that message when editing it (other than looking at Special:AllMessages).

As already said, to "revert" to the default, you should delete the message. Some messages also would revert to the default when blanking them, but that doesn't happen always (some of them will simply render empty). This of course means that, when deleting it, you'll lose the history of changes you made to the message, unless you try to undelete it. But strictly speaking, this task is not about that, or at least hasn't been worded as such.

@David_Hedlund: Could you explain which behavior you'd expect after "undoing the first edit when you create a new page"? Would the behavior be the same as deleting a page? Or something else?

@Zoranzoki21 I'm not one of the sysadmins for directory.fsf.org so I cannot know anything of what you asked for sure.

@Zoranzoki21 Wrong, I could undo when I made more edits, search "undo" at https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=MediaWiki:Revision-info&action=history

@SamanthaNguyen Yeah I know that. But you cannot see messages you have sent that hasn't been responded.

@SamanthaNguyen Thank you!

@SamanthaNguyen Why is this not set to default? This is one of the more important features of the extension.

@SamanthaNguyen Thanks!

At some wikis you earn points from admins when you acomplish certain tasks.

@T45 Thanks!

@Base Yes this is a problem with Phabricator, perhaps it should be filed? I don't dare to do it.

@Aklapper Copy/paste an article is done by copy the full source of an article and then paste it into your own MediaWiki.

@Aklapper No worries, I'm ok with the lowered priority and that you reverted the title.

@Framawiki I'm sorry, I added it by mistake.

@Nemo_bis How do I add https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150419 as a "parent task"? I need to learn.

@Nirmos I have not tried it, I'll let you know if it worked later.
