Hey SRE/anyone that knows anything about create wiki. We are still struggling with it. Specifically, we are having issues with suffixes. Every time we attempt to create a wiki, it just says that it doesn’t have the correct suffix, for example “wiki”. Is there a place to setup suffixes? Anyone that can help?

#

Can you paste an example

#

And some config

#

Like a what the dbname should be and what it ended up as

Is a photo of the warning we are getting. I’m getting a system admin to get some of the other stuff for you.

#

That's weird

#

What do you have your CreateWiki suffix set too?

#

You haven't changed it have you?

crimson sundial Jul 31, 2023, 12:26 PM

#

I believe it is set to wiki, but I’m not a system admin so I cannot be sure.

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 12:26 PM

#

Ok

vapid topaz Jul 31, 2023, 1:18 PM

iron perch What do you have your CreateWiki suffix set too?

Wiki, at least that's what I set it to.

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

#

vapid topaz Jul 31, 2023, 2:09 PM

#

We've managed to get Sammy to look through it, and they're pretty good, and will have it fixed in no time. I hope...

iron perch <@680822854920568834> why did you get nerd sniped

They didn't...

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 3:46 PM

#

vapid topaz They didn't...

Yes they did

vapid topaz Jul 31, 2023, 3:46 PM

#

In what way?

#

See, you can't think of which way they got nerd sniped...

crimson sundial Jul 31, 2023, 3:49 PM

Or they’re on a train with bad internet

My train arrived at its destination 2.5 hours ago

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

vapid topaz In what way?

Nerd sniping is giving a nerd an interesting problem and making them fall into the trap of solving it

#

That's exactly what's happened to @near silo

#

You've attracted their interest and got them to want to solve it

#

Now they won't stop until it's an amazing extension

Are you calling Sammy a nerd?

vapid topaz Are you calling Sammy a nerd?

Yes!

crimson sundial Jul 31, 2023, 4:06 PM

#

Smh

vapid topaz Jul 31, 2023, 4:06 PM

#

I'd be offended @near silo just kick off please, to prove a point...

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

Why on earth would you be offended

#

And I think Sammy understands what humour is

near silo Jul 31, 2023, 4:07 PM

🤨

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 4:08 PM

@near silo are you not at chaos communication camp

Not yet, 13th

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

Oh it's just in your status early

#

There's no way I'm ever going camping again @near silo

near silo Jul 31, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

To make sure folx know :p plus the dates are in there..

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

I will stick to luxury hotels when I do hackathons

#

I'm off to my work one in September

#

I will make wikimedia or Wikimania hackathon one year @near silo

near silo Jul 31, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

Next year 😌

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

@near silo not Wikimania, don't think wikimedia is announced

#

Maybe

near silo Jul 31, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

Ohh, yeah

iron perch Jul 31, 2023, 4:19 PM

#

If it's europe, that's a fair bet @near silo

Bank holiday weekend

#

Might be some helpful stuff for config in https://github.com/miraheze/ci-scripts/blob/master/mediawiki/globals/setup-CreateWiki.php. Last time I saw this problem, it was caused by the order in which configuration was initialized.

steady sleet Jul 31, 2023, 6:55 PM

#

Also, if it helps, here's a copy of the LocalSettings.php that I last used in a working CreateWiki dev environment. Some of the default installer stuff has been removed (and obviously it can't be used on its own).

#

@near silo I see you left the Discord server. Here’s a re-invite.

#

Are you still planning on assisting our wiki?

native canyon Aug 1, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

if they left, probably not

vapid topaz Aug 2, 2023, 9:52 AM

#

you never know, they might'vve just pressed the leave button accidentally.

crimson sundial Aug 3, 2023, 1:45 PM

#

@near silo we have our new hosting setup and the wikis back online. Could you assist in finishing createwiki setup or give instructions on how to?

#

We are now getting errors like “the wiki already exists”. We think this is because it doesn’t have the ability to edit the database. Any ideas?

peak flume Aug 3, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

or @iron perch

iron perch Aug 3, 2023, 2:08 PM

#

Why am I being pinged

vapid topaz Aug 3, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

blame them not me, I had nothing to do with this....

peak flume Aug 3, 2023, 3:26 PM

#

Hey Rhinos - sorry about that. "Wiki already exists" error - any thoughts?

steady sleet Aug 3, 2023, 5:19 PM

#

Some thoughts:

The database user you have doesn't have CREATE DATABASE permissions.
The intended target database already exists, which if empty, you can probably fix with DROP DATABASE.
The new wiki already has an entry in cw_wikis, remove that entry (or make it work).

peak flume Aug 3, 2023, 7:01 PM

#

Hey @steady sleet - I've tested theory 1, they all have full perms.

#2 - No database tables other than our current wiki showing up

#

Would it be possible for me to give you backend access and you poke around and look?

peak flume Aug 3, 2023, 7:23 PM

#

Everything requested is showing up in cw_requests like it should

native canyon Aug 3, 2023, 9:46 PM

#

ill take a look sometime tomorrow?

peak flume Aug 3, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

@native canyon that would be great

none of them are the problem I think, but no3 would be most likely.

peak flume Aug 4, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

That's not it - I checked the db and there's only one entry

#

I think it's something to do with the configuration settings... I just can't figure out what
