Whenever an existing image file is [[edit]]ed, such as to add an appropriate image tagging template or include its source, the saved thumbnail often (though not always) seems to get corrupted, and then subsequently vanishes. A [[revert]] and/or [[rollback]] of 'offending' edits fails to restore thumbnail. | Whenever an existing image file is [[edit]]ed, such as to add an appropriate image tagging template or include its source, the saved thumbnail often (though not always) seems to get corrupted, and then subsequently vanishes.

==Purge/refresh dropping https secure connection== | ==Purge/refresh dropping https secure connection== | ||
When clicking on the orange 'refresh' tab at the top of pages when using our Monobook skin (not tried on other skins), our <tt>https</tt> SSL connection is dropped for our non-secure <tt>http</tt> connection. Sometimes, the refreshed page resumes the secure https connection, other times it keeps the insecure http connection. [[Vision2Learn Wiki]] is one example of dropping the https after a page refresh. This seems to be a 'backend' issue, and would be great if it could be rectified, along with any other commands which drop the https connection. | When clicking on the orange 'refresh' tab at the top of pages when using our Monobook skin (not tried on other skins), our <tt>https</tt> SSL connection is dropped for our non-secure <tt>http</tt> connection.

The [[mw:Special:PermanentLink/2837421|extension]] that powers [[Special:Configure]] has been [[mw:Extension:Configure|archived]] and is no longer compatible with the latest versions of MediaWiki. If we upgrade our core version, we will also need to remove that extension and the associated user rights. All config changes now have to be done through [[LocalSettings.php]] rather than on-wiki. <b>[[User:Ohnoitsjamie|OhNo<font color="#D47C14">itsJamie</font>]] [[User talk:Ohnoitsjamie|<sup>Talk</sup>]]</b> 13:56, 9 October 2018 (UTC) | The [[mw:Special:PermanentLink/2837421|extension]] that powers [[Special:Configure]] has been [[mw:Extension:Configure|archived]] and is no longer compatible with the latest versions of MediaWiki.

==Monobook search box== | |||
I use the Monobook skin, and for those in the know, this moves the search box from the top-right of the display, and plonks it into the [[sidebar]]. Unfortunately, my search box is low down the order in the sidebar; it is below the third section entitled 'help pages' and above the last section entitled 'tools'. I am not finding this location convenient, and would much prefer it to appear at the top of the sidebar above the first section called 'community', immediately below our logo. I have seen this on other wikis; [[UnMeta-Wiki]] is one recollection. I have had a mooch in [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]], but there is no obvious (to me) way to manually over-ride the search box position within the sidebar. | |||
So, can other users see if they can replicate this issue from their own user account when viewing via the Monobook skin (go to [[Special:Preferences]], select the Appearance tab at the top, select the radio button next to 'MonoBook', then click on 'Save' at the very bottom of your page). Or maybe my custom JavaScript settings are the cause of this issue; can some knowledgeable person examine my [[User:Hoof Hearted/monobook.js]] and fix any errors please?
