I want to have forum on my wiki so I installed it.
but when I visit the page, it was not working anymore. just I can see this message.
[2bf58dd491af6545744fd2de] 2024-10-17 16:14:08: 종류 "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError"에서 심각한 오류
심각한 오류 = serious error
so what I should do for it?
plz help me. if you can recommend another type of forum extension, it is also ok.
See Manual:How to debug. You'll want to set $wgShowExceptionDetails to true in your wiki's LocalSettings.php. Then post the full backtrace, as the redacted backtrace you posted is literally useless. But before doing any of that, you may wish to make sure you've run update.php, MediaWiki's updater script, which will create the necessary DB tables used by WikiForum.
I really like this extension and would like to re-add it to my project to re-create our original wiki's forums (Wetpaint/Wikifoundry hosted) which in many ways acted as our original talk pages.
Is anybody planning to resolve the security issues? Or should I start considering other options?
I posted a patch for testing on the currently non-public Phabricator ticket about a couple weeks ago. Nobody's commented on it so far, so if no-one comments on it and points out obvious issues (not that I saw any, but it's been a while since I actually worked on it), I'll probably just commit it and +2 it myself by the end of the year or so.
That said, the issues aren't really that big. An actual security engineer told me once that CSRF issues aren't much of a big deal with modern browsers anymore and the "XSS" possibility is basically "some messages accept raw HTML (but they probably shouldn't)" — problematic if and when you don't trust the people with the wikiforum-admin user right, but if you do trust the users with that right, then it's unlikely to be an issue. Really, it's like with the editinterface user right in general: be careful about who you hand it out to and you'll be fine.
I would really like to install a forum but any security issue is a show-stopper. As a developer you can do your own penetration testing on your installation using zaproxy https://www.zaproxy.org/
Response from Phabricator may take a few years, they have limited capacity.
Install went smoothly, and set-up went well, until I tried to actuall post a topic:

Can you provide more information about your setup, e.g. MediaWiki version? The exception message ("WikiPage constructed on a Title that cannot exist as a page") seems to not even exist in MediaWiki 1.35, the current LTS release, which is what WikiForum has been currently tested with and somewhat guaranteed to work (as per social tools/MediaWiki compatibility, which basically applies to all other extensions and skins I also maintain). I tested out both topic creation and replying to an existing topic on my local 1.35 install and both worked just fine.
It's unfortunate, though hardly surprising, that things break with newer versions of MediaWiki, especially as the powers that be intentionally make breaking changes to the underlying APIs. I cannot promise anything else than to take a look, but the guaranteed fix is to use a compatible (LTS) version of MediaWiki core, i.e. the 1.35 series currently.
Thank you Jack. This is from my "version" special page:
Product Version MediaWiki 1.37.1 PHP 8.0.17 (litespeed) MySQL 5.7.23-23 ICU 69.1 Pygments 2.10.0 Entry point URLs Entry point URL Article path /index.php/$1 Script path / index.php /index.php api.php /api.php rest.php /rest.php
Mediawiki shows the correct time (timezone)
WIKIFORUM shows time in sections, topics, messages - UTC time
what could be the mistake?
