I'm trying to extract internal links from wikipedia pages. This is the query I'm using
/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&format=xml&plnamespace=0&pllimit=max&titles=pageTitle
However, the result does not reflect what's on the wiki page. Take for example a random article here. There are only a dozen of links on this page. However, when I make the query,
/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&format=xml&plnamespace=0&pllimit=max&titles=Von_Mises%E2%80%93Fisher_distribution
I got back 187 links. I guess the API might has a database of all the links that have ever added to the page including all the revisions. Is that the case? How can I get the links from only the last revision?
The database has the correct list of the links in the current version of the articles. All the links you get from the API are in fact in the article. However, most of them are hidden in the (twice collapsed) navigation box at the bottom (scroll to the bottom, click "show" on the blue bar, then click "show" on the additional blue bars you now see).
Note that these links are on the page, but not defined in the wikitext - they come from the {{ProbDistributions}} navigation template (and the template that template in turn includes).
Sadly, there is no good way to list only the links that are directly/explicitly defined on a page, since template substitution happens before the actual parsing of the wiki syntax.

I have a search form in my header rendered as a cObject from a content element which is a ke_search searchbox and it leads to a /search page when submitting.
I also have subpages that are supposed to only look through seperately indexed pages like news and other pages.
For that I have folders in the typo-backend which contain indexer configs.
My problem is that when I set up that search box in the header the other searches are using the indexer config from the header (probably because it's the first searchbox on that page).
How do I make sure that every searchbox uses it's correct index?
As mentioned: Everythings seems to be split up nicely in the backend.
I can only imagine that somethings going wrong because the searchboxes are rendered with the same id but how can I make sure they render with diffrent ID's?
I managed to get an answer from the team behind Ke_Search.
When implementing a global searchbox that is used across every page, you should implement the searchbox as plain html and not as a content element in Typo3. You can only have one searchform as a content element per page.
Here's the documentation on how to implement the html version:
https://docs.typo3.org/p/tpwd/ke_search/main/en-us/Templating/Searchbox.html#include-searchbox-with-plain-html
Just leaving this here for anyone running into the same issue.
So I have been working on my wiki for a while now and I wanted to check if there are any links that I have missed making. So I clicked on the wanted pages page but there are no links I found this surprising. So I made 10 new pages all with a few Lorim Ipsum text paragraphs and then a link to the same uncreated page. I did this with multiple links so that I could have multiple results. But I get none at all.
The only thing it displays is:
List of non-existing pages with the most links to them, excluding pages which only have redirects linking to them. For a list of non-existent pages that have redirects linking to them, see the list of broken redirects.
The following data is cached and may not be up to date. A maximum of 1,000 results are available in the cache.
There are no results for this report.
So that is a problem What I would want is for the page to work and show every link that is missing. So not just when multiple of the same link is missing. But when there is any missing red link.
how would I go about fixing/doing this?
It seems that you should run maintenance/updateSpecialPages.php. Usually, a cron job is created for this.
As a favor for a friend, I'm trying to add a quick Valentine's Ad for an article that is supposed to be appended to the top of their existing site starting... tomorrow. They have an existing site made by somebody they are no longer in contact with back in 2010 built with Drupal.
I don't know Drupal. The only information I have is a HostGator login that I'm currently using to send a backup zip to my email.
HostGator's File menu doesn't even show search results for the text I'm searching for on the main page where I'd put this.
I have no idea what I'm doing, basically. I'm comfortable as a web developer in general and figured "yeah I can add a thing to the top of your pages, sure." I can write that HTML quickly, but everything else... do I need Drupal installed, etc, and will that run with the backup that HostGator is gonna send me?
Any advice? I realize I'm an idiot for signing up for a favor like this last minute.
Ultimately I just need to add some pictures and some text.
Easiest way to achieve this would be creating custom block. Not sure what version of Drupal you use, but let's assume it's D7 (similar for other versions):
Go to Structure -> Blocks -> Add block
Enter your static content into "Block body" field. Change that field format to "full html" so drupal won't filter out some of your tags.
If you don't want Drupal's block title to appear in Block title field enter < none > (without space signs in between! - SO can't show it without spaces).
Save your block
Now go to Structure -> Blocks...your block should be visible in block list. You can find and edit it from there.
Theme site uses has "Regions" (something like sidebars). If want your block to appear with main content find your block and select "Content" region. Or any other you want.
At top of that page should be a link "Demonstrate block regions" - click it to see which region is where..
After selecting region you can click "configure" link for your block to precise in what conditions block should appear on page. Click it.
Scroll down and in right sidebar at bottom of configure page you'll see "Pages", "Content types"... it for selecting on what pages, on what content types...your block should be visible. Default is everywhere, so if you need this - use it.
Save block. If you didn't save on Structure -> Block after selecting region select region again and Save.
You can embed your CSS there, but you can also go to (usually): /sites/all/themes/your_theme/styles/style.css or something like that.
If you can't find CSS turn the caching off for a moment: Configuration -> Development -> Performance and inspect location of loaded CSS file(s) (use browser inspection tool).
Good luck!
I am building a general website that also has a documentation page. For the docs page I'm using mkdocs. I would like a link in the docs page, ideally in the top right corner, that goes back to my main webpage. I know how to put links inside the docs, but I'd like this to appear like a header. Is there a way to do this?
No, this is not possible at this time. However, this is the subject of issue #989 and may be added in the future.
I am at an impasse with this page I am trying to modify for my institution. The page is somewhat proprietary and not all of the files that comprise the page are accessible to me. The only things I can get access to are 5 different files called a stylesheet(naturally), a head, a top, a bottom, and a print
So this is the page:
http://s5-sandbox.parature.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=15028
The issue is that below the page where you have the 2 sections for "Viewed Most Popular Topics" and "Most Recent Topics", is that the words ViewedMost run on together. Additionally the number of views and the first word of the actual topic respective of the views run on together. For example, you'll see 3869What is my Blackboard Username and COM ID?
Given the pages that I have access to, none of them have the ID for that section declared in them. It is in some .ASP page on Parature's backend. I've contacted their support and put in a ticket and did not receive any resolution. I tried emailing someone directly and a man told me something ridiculous:
If you right click on the area and click inspect element you are able to add a space either behind “view” or in
front of “most”. Either works, I’ve tried them both. The same goes for the number and the article.
I already know full well how to use the Chrome inspector but what I told this gentleman was that I don't have access to the page to add a space nor do I even know if there is an element I can use to fix the formatting. I was hoping you guys would be able to see something I do not on the page that would allow me to create the space that I am looking to add.
Thank you all.
.item:after {
content: "\00a0";
