Troubleshooting

2015-03-29

Installed math extension [1]
Tried MathML -> seems there's no public server
Tried MathJAX -> the math tags get only converted to $-signs nothing else :(
adding default path of public server(s) -> no change; adding newer default path that's available from the MathJAX site -> no change
status: does not work yet Seems to be a known problem since Mediawiki 1.23 [2]. Suggested solution: use SimpleMathJax extension instead [3].
SimpleMathJax Works :) (but only with math delimiters not with $ and $$)

2015-03-16

On mobile devices the wikipedia logo is shown instead of the correct one: Reason: [4] -> [5] -> [6]


The normal logo does not show up even standard when $wgLogo is set to standard value for new wiki version (manual page for $wgLogo) -- why?? -- status: yet unresolved

2014-03-??

Problem resolved! It had nothing to do with image sizes. PHP stuff changed its behavior due to an server side software update. Since a newer mediawiki version dealt with that issue an mediawiki version update to 1.24.1 resolved the problem.
