Unable to create button

https://purelyevil.wikioasis.org This is my site. I am trying to create a button but am unable to. Want this to have people click and create pages....
Solution:
Nvm, It is resolved now

No wanted pages being shown

The images just explain what I meant by the title. Basically, it may have something to do with the imports, but new articles doesn't show wanted pages or new wanted pages as well.

How to Install MediaWiki?

Most tutorials I've found online have either resulted in errors I cannot find solutions to anywhere online or are outdated by several years. How do I go about adding MediaWiki to my wiki page? Or is there an alternative option that is still able to achieve a similarly customizable feel? I'm incredibly new to all of this and have never made a wiki page before. I have somewhat non-basic knowledge of python, JavaScript, and HTML but I don't think I'm a genius who could edit a website based off of that alone. Any advice or help from people who have been doing this longer? I'm incredibly lost....
Solution:
If you have created a Wikioasis instance and it has been approved, you already a fully functional Mediawiki installation. What are you missing? Or is it about an use case of Mediawiki outside of Wikioasis?...

DPL3 Produces Errors when Categories are Called On

I have DPL3 enabled on my Wiki so I can have category pages that are sorted by the last edited date except when filling out the parameter for categories, it spits back this error https://pastebin.com/s0cKgKJC...

Error while accessing the wiki

Getting a MediaWiki internal error while accessing the wiki: https://politicshub.wikioasis.org/wiki/Main_page...

Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic Scribunto

Is it possible to get these extensions enabled on my wiki? Thanks! https://loveanddeepspace.wikioasis.org/...
Solution:
enabled

Categories, some pictures and main page just disappeared

In the last couple days (can't pinpoint it specifically), our wiki just lost some parts of itself. There are redlinks to categories and some notice pictures, plus the main page just popped out of existence. No idea why. We don't have a special domain or anything. There is nothing in recent changes signalling that someone purged it manually. Some database bug? Also also, the default lang seemingly changed, though I might be just misremembering which one was there in the first place. https://csmw.wikioasis.org/...
Solution:
Should be fixed

Error when uploading images, and images won't display on my personal private wiki.

Hi. For some reason, after WikiOasis went down due to the site migration, the images won't display at all. I tried reuploading them, but I get an error. I also tried uploading new files but I still get an error. I tried waiting a few days, purging cache, and also cleared cookies for this site, but none of them seem to work. Is there any way to fix this issue?...

"Unexpected symbol"

so i was trying to add the template here (https://wikathlon.wikioasis.org/wiki/Module:Hatnote/styles.css) but it seems like nothing could work. there's always an error somewhere. does anyone know how to solve it?

Changed my wiki settings from private to public, and now all my uploaded images are gone?

I'm not really sure if these are related, but I was trying to test some thumbnail embedding stuff when a link was sent on an external site so I switched the wiki from private to public and suddenly all of the images I had uploaded are just, gone? Every single file in my log says its missing. https://brawlboard.wikioasis.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles...
Solution:
@toiler fixed, not quite sure how but purging the thumbnail cache worked lol

New Wiki Lacking Permissions

I got an approval for a new wiki earlier today, except my account doesn't have permissions to edit anything so I'm unable to do anything with it. Could somebody ensure that my account has the proper admin permissions?
Solution:
so I think it should be fixed now but it's hard to find an exact cause lol

Database error

I don't know how this happened but the page for an episode name which is literally an emoji (🥚) is completely broken. The code for the page is still accessible but I can't delete, move or make an edit on there. In fact, copying the code and pasting it into a different page with Latin characters, it is still visible and does work with preview, but it doesn't on this one....
Solution:
it's probably not happy with unicode characters

Formatting differences between same templates.

I have been trying to get my Template:Infobox_country working for quite a while to no avail. I have imported all required templates from English Wikipedia, verified that the same extensions were enabled, but I still get vast formatting differences I can't explain. See here for comparison: Infobox country on Thaepedia and Same Infobox country on Wikipedia Added screenshots to see if the formatting was different on another device. Also, sorry to those I interacted with suggesting I use PortableInfoboxBuilder, but it was stuck in a state of permanent loading so pretty hard to use...
Solution:
Fixed it! I was missing the common css stylesheet

Issue with spam

I am having issues with spam bots creating user accounts and adding spam to their user page, see https://www.solarpunk.wiki/wiki/Special:RecentChanges. I have tried to use the spam prevention extension and activate the Moderation option. But when I do, I get the error message 'An error occurred while attempting to enable the extension "Moderation".'...
Solution:
@qv1et (UTC+2) spam is now removed

Images with transparent backgrounds are filled in due to link background styling

While I was uploading some files on the Keynotathlon Wiki, I noticed that when I upload files with transparent backgrounds, the background gets filled in with a light rainbow background due to my CSS (at https://keynotathlon.wikioasis.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-rainbow-style.css) adding a light rainbow box around all links ("a" class) on thunbnails and a smaller box on file pages. Is there a way to exclude images from the a (link) class? Example page: https://keynotathlon.wikioasis.org/wiki/File:Kyoton-9_mascot.png...

The "/wiki/Special:InfoboxBuilder" is stuck on loading.

I let it load for about 5 minutes and it still did not load, and it's not a network issue from me. Other pages of the wiki load perfectly fine, but this one doesn't....
Solution:
I am guessing whatever was broken has been fixed, because it works as intended now for me. cc @IulianArian

why double \n

hello, for some reason i have to make two newlines to space up my lines, is there a setting to change it ?
Solution:
As far as I know, this is simply part of MediaWiki and cannot be changed. Someone else that knows otherwise is more than welcome to share!
