Hi. I want to use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContactPage on a wiki for blocked/globally locked users to appeal a ban. Does the form still work for users who are locked?

Hello. I know this is a bit late, but we need help regarding the gender Editathon tomorrow in Amman, Jordan. We need to lift of IP cap during the event. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T189121

Tarawneh: I'm not a tech guy, but thats on a too short notice probably to get it done
|
|

<Tarawneh>
|
Wiki13: I know, I got the IPs 10 mins. ago :(

ouch

tell them to get it sooner next time :P

Tarawneh: if you can get ahold of an admin on the arabic wiki you could ask them to create accounts
|
|
2018-03-07 14:58:36
|
<Wiki13>
|
they have no rate limits (like creating users) afaik
|
|
2018-03-07 14:58:48
|
<Tarawneh>
|
I am already an account creator, and we will have a few others with us.
|
|
2018-03-07 14:59:43
|
<Tarawneh>
|
But the system sometimes refuses simultaneous edits from the same IP. Have no Idea why that happens
|
|
2018-03-07 15:00:21
|
<Wiki13>
|
in that case it could be done then without lifting the cap right? I do understand lifting a cap would be nicer, but its all you can do on such a short notice
|
|
2018-03-07 15:01:40
|
<Tarawneh>
|
LOL, I do that all the time. :) I am used to creating accounts.
|
|
2018-03-07 15:01:49

Hi everyone!
|
|
2018-03-07 16:07:12
|
<d3r1ck>
|
I'm currently searching for a means of editing Wiki tables using the MW API
|
|
2018-03-07 16:07:31
|
<d3r1ck>
|
Any help please? Basically, I want to start of with a table that has 2 rows 1 column
|
|
2018-03-07 16:07:53
|
<d3r1ck>
|
The table should have a header and a cell with content. Then edit this table via the MW api
|
|
2018-03-07 16:07:55
|
<Reedy>
|
I think you've only got action=edit
|
|
2018-03-07 16:08:50
|
<CFisch_WMDE>
|
Yeah afaik the MW API cannot be used to directly edit arbitrary wiki tables
|
|
2018-03-07 16:09:13
|
<d3r1ck>
|
Reedy: Thanks. CFisch_WMDE, Okay!
|
|
2018-03-07 16:09:55
|
<d3r1ck>
|
I'm trying to build this tool that simulates a wiki table like a spread sheet
|
|
2018-03-07 16:10:09
|
<d3r1ck>
|
So that when a cell in the spreadsheet is edited, it edits same corresponding cell in the Wikitable
|
|
2018-03-07 16:10:21
|
<d3r1ck>
|
I've succeeded in scraping data off a spreadsheet to a wikipage
|
|
2018-03-07 16:10:46
|
<d3r1ck>
|
But now doing it to a table is my worry but I was just wondering if there is a way to do it directly with the API but no luck yet
|
|
2018-03-07 16:10:58
|
<Reedy>
|
Does VE allow this sort of editing?
|
|
2018-03-07 16:11:13
|
<d3r1ck>
|
Reedy: No idea actually, I don't know
|
|
2018-03-07 16:11:21
|
<Reedy>
|
I'm sure it does table editing...
|
|
2018-03-07 16:11:28
|
<d3r1ck>
|
But I think VE allows editing of tables
|
|
2018-03-07 16:11:33
|
<d3r1ck>
|
Reedy: Yes, it does
|
|
2018-03-07 16:12:49
|
<CFisch_WMDE>
|
Ahhh ... so with "Wiki Table" you refer to a table in wiki text .. sorry - I was thinking of Database tables in my response ^^ - So of cause aus Reedy said you can manipulate that via the API, but only with the default API edit methods.
|
|
2018-03-07 16:13:14
|
<d3r1ck>
|
Yeah,
|
|
2018-03-07 16:13:28
|
<d3r1ck>
|
action works but I'm thinking how to do that in wiki table cells
|
|
2018-03-07 16:13:40
|
<d3r1ck>
|
Directly from the API or maybe some other way
|
|
2018-03-07 16:15:48
|
<d3r1ck>
|
CFisch_WMDE, Reedy, I'll keep digging! But I've succeeded in taking data (on changes) from a spreadsheet to a Wikipage
|
|
2018-03-07 16:16:11
|
<CFisch_WMDE>
|
So I have no Idea how VE does editing of tables, they of cause have parsing logic that takes care of conversion from their internal "table" layout to wikitext table
|
|
2018-03-07 16:16:15
|
<d3r1ck>
|
Just something very simple, like a proof of concept but need to replicate that to Wikitables now then scale the solution to larger tables.
|
|
2018-03-07 16:16:32
|
<d3r1ck>
|
CFisch_WMDE: Yeah!
|
|
2018-03-07 16:22:33
|
<Reedy>
|
CFisch_WMDE: Parsoid... Wikitext -> Html -> Wikitext
|
|
2018-03-07 16:23:06
|
<CFisch_WMDE>
|
yeah, thats the thing
|
|
2018-03-07 16:24:39
|
<d3r1ck>
|
Hmmm....., thanks Reedy :)
