And the server has updated, see ​https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/Special:Version however the VisualEditor has stopped working I can't haven't been able to work out why yet...

Getting a new copy of the VisualEditor extension as per ​https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor#Download from ​https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/VisualEditor

cd /web/wiki.transitionnetwork.org/www/extensions
wget https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/VisualEditor-REL1_23-9883566.tar.gz
  2015-08-24 14:12:39 ERROR 404: Not Found.

Asking about this issue in ircs://irc.freenode.org/mediawiki-visualeditor ...

[chris]

Got help in the IRC channel... and a ticket has been created ​https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110031

wget https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-VisualEditor/archive/9883566.zip
unzip 9883566.zip
mv VisualEditor VisualEditor.old
mv mediawiki-extensions-VisualEditor-98835665dc8bb994c03cf173701d2ae91191d473 VisualEditor

However now I don't even get the loading animation when testing at ​https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/index.php?title=Sandbox&veaction=edit and there is no evidence of a connection in the Parsiod logs...

[chris]

Rather then spening a lot of time trying to get the LTS version of MediaWiki working with the VisualEditor I'm going to install the latest stable version, ​1.25.2 and see if that solves the issue:

sudo -i
cd /web/wiki.transitionnetwork.org
export MW="1.25.2"
wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-$MW.tar.gz -O mediawiki-$MW.tar.gz
wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-$MW.tar.gz.sig -O mediawiki-$MW.tar.gz.sig

tar -zxvf mediawiki-$MW.tar.gz
rsync -av mediawiki-$MW/ www/
chown root:root -R www/
chown -R www-data:www-data www/cache/ 
chown -R www-data:www-data www/images/
cd www/maintenance/
php update.php 

The the following was added to LocalSettings.php:

# MediaWiki 1.24 and newer no longer automatically enables installed skins (see 
# https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery 
# You can paste the following lines into LocalSettings.php to enable all currently installed skins: 
wfLoadSkin( 'CologneBlue' );
wfLoadSkin( 'Modern' );
wfLoadSkin( 'MonoBook' );
wfLoadSkin( 'Vector' );

A new version of the VisualEditor was downloaded via ​Download MediaWiki extension:

cd extensions/
rm -rf VisualEditor
wget "https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/VisualEditor-REL1_25-c947b49.tar.gz"
tar -zxvf VisualEditor-REL1_25-c947b49.tar.gz 

However the VisualEditor edit link didn't appear, reading the ​docs and ​discussion I realised there is a ​dependency:

cd extensions/
wget https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/UniversalLanguageSelector-REL1_25-7661826.tar.gz
tar -zxvf UniversalLanguageSelector-REL1_25-7661826.tar.gz 

And the following was added to LocalSettings.php:

# https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector#Installation
require_once "$IP/extensions/UniversalLanguageSelector/UniversalLanguageSelector.php";

However the VisualEditor is still not working, given the fact that the wiki site isn't used all that much I'm not sure if I should spend any more time on this?
