Rebuild the localisation cache to mitigate the issue.

I'm trying to install BlueSpice 4 on my Green Geeks hosted webserver, and I have been getting the following error when attempting to run wiki/mw-config/index.php for updating tables.

BlueSpice 4 is using Media Wiki 1.35.6

I have tried manually updating the extension, but I'm still getting this error. I'm fairly new to all of this, so I'm trying to figure out how to get passed this.

My PHP is Version 7.4 if that helps.

What's strange is that this only happens at;

mw-config/index.php?page=ExistingWiki

When I access the wiki, everything loads perfectly normal, and I can use the site without issue, and when I check Special:Version, UserFunction is marked as loaded.

I can't say exactly what fixed it, but I tried a code branch I found here;

https://github.com/Universal-Omega/mediawiki-extensions-UserFunctions

That fixed the error I was experiencing.

I did have to change

if ( isset( (int)$wgUFAllowedNamespaces[$cur_ns] ) ) {

to

if ( null !== ( (int)$wgUFAllowedNamespaces[$cur_ns] ) ) {

in UserFunctions_body.php

So, hopefully this is useful for anyone trying to run BlueSpice 4.

I'm still experiencing the same issue on the latest mediawiki version with this updated from its main branch.

I see others experiencing issues. I've tried the Universal-Omega branch but that seems very down revision now from the main repository.

I fixed this on my end by rebuilding the localization cache. A better error message here would be fantastic but that's in MW Core.
