I guess i would check if the page table has any pages with a negative id. If not i would just delete the negative entries from page_props. Afterall it should be impossible to ever match the negative entries.

I like the proposed changes. As an MW LTS user, I am forced to stick to outdated versions of MLEB due to PHP incompatibility, so the first proposed change is no change for me. If I am not mistaken, integration into the MediaWiki tarball as proposed with change 2 would even improve my situation.

1.32 is 5 years old, which is pretty old...

I have no general objection. But when looking at what is out in the wild, I am still regularly confronted with 1.2x, including early versions here, and with a pile of 1.31, which completely failed to upgrade due to the epical MCR upgrade disaster. Anyhow, forward-ports will be nice if possible. :)

According to that policy, you have to first upgrade to 1.35/1.39 and then to a recent version. Otherwise, you're going to miss on important schema changes and corrupt your databases. (because we remove old schema updates altogether).

It was a fresh installation done with install.php, and all it got was the rfc and pmid prefixes. In the meantime, more prefixes were added, but none were removed. Anyhow, I believe this discussion has already left the scope of this task. There should be a separate issue for it.

I will check back and ask if somebody tried to update this wiki created with MW 1.34. I do not understand why a MW 1.34 should work with a MW 1.35 schema in this situation. If it does, well ... If not, I would assume that the old backup with the MW 1.34 schema was used again, which does not explain why MW 1.35 schema changes should be in there. I will ask what they did to have background information about it.

It seems that the 1.39 branch is slightly special. It had some refactoring done that is not fully aligned with other branches it seems. The work was done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/874878

Possibly this causes a problem for people coming from 1.34 version, even if you have gone through 1.35 ?

The issue did not happen in the four weeks before also on PHP 8.1.x. It could be that the minor version Ubuntu 22.02. ships changed during this time.

How can I find out which skins support this responsive mode? Pretty sure Medik does not, which is why I set the following in the "LocalSettings.php" file:

$wgDefaultUserOptions['skin-responsive'] = 0;
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'skin-responsive';

This assumes that no skin supporting this mode is installed for the wiki. This option uses quite a lot of space on the special page "Preferences," which is why I rather not show it if this feature is not supported anyway.

I think that arraymap and arraymaptemplate will never make it to ParserFunctions. I suggest moving them to the Arrays extension.

I got the same issue when I was on REL1_39 for Mobile Frontend—some version of February or April 2023. After updating to the latest revision on REL1_39, everything is working as expected again.

This is still an issue for the extension's version (REL1_35), which is meant to work with MediaWiki 1.35.x. I have not tested 1.39.x yet.

@Ammarpad Thanks for your insight and for providing a patch for the issue. This is much appreciated. I am puzzled that I seem to be the first to experience the issue. I would have thought this is likely to happen more or less frequently. Well, sometimes ... :)

It could be that there is also a misconfiguration or a too-aggressive configuration of the relaying server at play. I cannot tell, though.

Hmm, is this extension bundled or not? On its page on mediawiki.org is still marked as a beta with no information about it being bundled.
