On Chrome I have a MediaWiki 1.13 installation that works on Firefox and IE 11, but the left menu appears below the content in Chrome.

How can I fix this without upgrading MediaWiki?

EDIT:

Found a similar question.

Also found a compatibility page on Wikipedia that implies that older versions of MediaWiki do not support Chrome.

Appears that the problem is server-side and I need to get the admins to upgrade to version 1.16 or above.

My install was fixed by commenting out the contents of KHTMLFixes.css, as per https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28267

  • Brilliant, a fix with much less impact in a huge process-driven enterprise. Thank you. – Ruskin Mar 04 '14 at 12:13

    More specifically, the file to edit for me was: `skins/monobook/KHTMLFixes.css` – sffc Apr 03 '14 at 06:46

    @Ruskin, the impact in your enterprise will come from the technical debt accumulating in the non-upgraded wiki... A 1.13 wiki must be upgraded now. – Nemo Apr 28 '15 at 21:50
  • @Nemo you're preaching to the converted there ... that contract has finished now and at a different client. They know it is an issue but red tape to get upgrade when system is slated for replacement is issue. – Ruskin May 14 '15 at 09:20

    @Ruskin, sure. :) I was just adding the customary footnote for the casual reader. – Nemo May 14 '15 at 12:08
