How to open MEDIAWIKI file?
The most common problem when using Mediawiki Source is that a specific MEDIAWIKI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MEDIAWIKI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MEDIAWIKI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Eclipse
In this case, you should first verify that the Eclipse application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Eclipse into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MEDIAWIKI with Eclipse. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MEDIAWIKI files.
Programs to open MEDIAWIKI file
Remember to download programs supporting MEDIAWIKI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Eclipse with MEDIAWIKI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MEDIAWIKI file to open in the Eclipse application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MEDIAWIKI file with the Eclipse application.
Step 3. Update Eclipse to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Eclipse program, it is possible that Mediawiki Source requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Eclipse Foundation website and install the latest version.
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MEDIAWIKI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MEDIAWIKI file. However, remember that not every infected MEDIAWIKI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MEDIAWIKI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MEDIAWIKI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MEDIAWIKI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MEDIAWIKI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MEDIAWIKI file again. However, some background programs may block the MEDIAWIKI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
