[20:19:50] Hi … is there an easy way to change $wgHashedUploadDirectory from false to true without breaking the already uploaded images? [20:22:21] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgHashedUploadDirectory says, no, however, who knows … ;) [20:27:36] zrh: no [20:28:32] there are scripts that will let you convert your images from non-hashed to hashed, but those still involve having your images broken for a minute or so :) [20:29:57] I'm trying to hide tabs at the top of pages. #ca-talk { display:none!important; } doesn't seem to work. any ideas? [20:30:25] nvm [20:36:13] werdna: about? [20:37:18] roberthl: ? [20:37:23] pm? [20:37:32] if you like [20:38:21] Skizzerz: Well, the result counts, a few minutes (or even hours of broken images) doesn't matter in my case. [20:38:43] werdna: r49790 causes some issues in Fx3 [20:38:48] what issues? [20:39:03] See http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=Rtm%2Ftranslators&namespace=100&uselang=en causes the label to wrap early. [20:39:06] well, then you'll need to find a script that can move the images to appropriate sub-directories for you (there should be one or two out there...) [20:40:03] roberthl: can you give me all the information in one go instead of making me ask you every question? [20:40:06] i.e. [20:40:16] How do you know it's that revision? [20:40:24] Do you know what the problem is? [20:40:27] Do you have a suggested fix? [20:43:21] If I remove the "width:20%;" statement on line 77 of /skins/common/shared.css then the line wraps correctly, therefore I assume it is that attribute that is causing the issue. Suggested fix is to remove the statement, I don't know why it was added in the first place so can't suggest anything better. [20:44:23] I'd rather increase it [20:44:28] to 30% or so [20:44:52] Well sure, as I say I don't know why you added it in the first place. [20:46:41] because if you have a really long label then it looks terrible [20:46:56] and if you have no width set, then different tables have different widths based on their contents [20:46:59] which looks even worse [20:47:05] Ah, right. [20:59:04] how to remove the "privacy policy" and "page views" from the bottom of pages? [20:59:53] Privacy policy is a skin modification I think. [21:01:10] got it [21:12:20] hi [21:13:14] is there a plugin which enables to add some template calls on the end of a page? [21:13:34] but not for all pages, only for pages where a special template is used [21:14:15] the best solution would be a function who enables to add something to the page end.

[22:24:04] thats a plan [22:24:14] *znx experiments [22:26:31] Simetrical: only a handful of special pages transclude (though some consistency or even documentation would be nice as to which) [22:26:56] Yeah, I was hoping WLH would. [22:27:07] But you're right, I think it's like only five that do. [22:28:55] yeah .. maybe it would help to explain what i was intending .. [22:29:23] hmm, at least 6: recentchanges, newfiles, newpages, allpages, prefixindex, wantedpages [22:29:37] i have a simple site with my dvd collection on it .. i want to basically create the Actor pages from What Links Here [22:29:41] though all in totally different and inconsistent ways, based on the needs of whoever asked first [22:32:40] im guessing ill need to make something to rip through my site and automate the page creation [22:35:01] 03(NEW) Capital letters are always sorted first - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19197 enhancement; Normal; MediaWiki: Categories; (Drilnoth) [22:37:08] assuming my wiki is not hosted by me, how would i set the times to be local?

[22:41:32] sure, just hack up the source, or create a tag/pf extension [22:46:17] hrmm not ideal .. as really all i wish is the list but far better than i was [22:46:30] thanks Simetrical / Splarka [22:57:47] hi. is it possible to restrict editing on user pages to the user itself? [22:58:30] dergringo, I don't think so, without an extension. [23:00:25] Splarka: will that affect the "last modified" time? [23:00:33] Ok. Thanks Simetrical [23:01:08] Majorly: dunno [23:01:41] :( [23:03:27] it does :) [23:05:09] mostly I know it changes signatures [23:05:51] maybe you can tell Apache to use htaccess only on User:Bla [23:06:27] dergringo: there is a hack-around [23:06:51] Splarka, sounds good :) [23:07:17] protect the user page, like User:Blah?action=protect to sysop only, then change the content to: {{ {{FULLPAGENAME}}/user.css }} [23:08:03] this will create the page with transcluded content from a page ending in .css, which is auto-protected to just be edited by a logged in user matching the base page name (same for .js) [23:08:46] hmm this is a little bit "hacky" :) Thanks I'll try that out. [23:08:56] the bad part: even though the user page will show content normally (not wrapped in
 or ), but the subpage will show it in 
 or  as if it were css
[23:09:38] 	there are some extensions you might wanna look at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EditOnlyYourOwnPage  http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:KeepYourHandsToYourself  
[23:10:06] 	hmm, would it be hard to find the code part that does this to all pages ending in .css and change it to also apply normal User pages?
[23:10:25] 	no it wouldn't
[23:10:28] 	but don't do it
[23:10:54] 	or you'll have to manually merge the changes every time you upgrade, or come whining to us when it breaks!
[23:11:01] 	I prefer the extensions. Thanks.
[23:11:03] 	much better to do it in an extension (per above)
[23:11:12] 	i already merge too many changes each time :p
[23:11:13] 	Last modified time is based on whichever timezone you set in Special:Preferences.
[23:11:14] *Splarka 	grins at mutante
[23:11:30] 	I don't think it listens to anything else.
[23:12:07] 	Annemarie: it wasn't clear if they meant the displayed time (or for anon/liu), or the actual db timestamp
[23:12:23] 	Splarka: what is the real solution to merge changes with latest SVN code..  setup local SVN and mark the files i have changed somehow?
[23:12:27] 	03werdna * r51857 10/trunk/tools/planet/en/config.ini: Add my blog
[23:12:36] 	I don't believe it's ever possible to change the timezone for the internals...
[23:12:38] 	zomg coi.
[23:12:42] 	mutante: the real solution is to do it all in extension X_X
[23:13:02] 	and never edit core files...
[23:13:18] 	arr,ok ;)
[23:13:28] 	this still doesn't prevent forked skins from becoming outdated (mw needs a real comprehensive plug-n-play forward-friendly skin solution, meh)
[23:13:39] 	omg abuse
[23:13:52] 	i did the typical mistake, editing MonoBook directly ages ago
[23:14:16] 	I've seen like 10 users come in and ask why MediaWiki:Common.css isn't enabled, and after a half hour of tinkering and toying, the helper finally gets them to admit: 1) they upgraded recently, 2) they have a custom skin
[23:15:08] 	Thoughts before I actually post it? http://blog.werdn.us/?p=10
[23:15:09] 	werdna: tech/mw related blog?
[23:15:19] 	yeah
[23:15:39] 	heh
[23:16:14] 	well, per that specific URL, it has as much useful content as a typical wiki
[23:16:34] 	maybe you meant p=0
[23:17:52] 	hmm, Wordpad for a Mediawiki blog.. you could blog on Mediawiki itself?
[23:18:49] 	or make a mediawiki skin for wp, heh
[23:20:29] 	When do you use namespaces?
[23:21:19] 	http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:My_blog 
[23:22:10] 	http://www.sultanik.com/MediaWiki_as_a_blog
[23:31:06] 	dergringo: you use them all the time, possibly without knowing... page types are sorted into namespaces, the namespace derived from the title prefix.. [[Foo]] is in the main namespace (NS_MAIN 0) which is a null prefix, [[Talk:Foo]] is in the 'Talk' Namespace and is assicated with [[Foo]], [[User:Foo]] and [[User talk:Foo]] are another pair in user/user_talk
[23:31:54] 	Yes I know. But ehen does it make sense to create my own namespaces? When are they useful? Any example situation?
[23:32:00] 	*when

[23:33:12] 	uses include: keeping pages out of 'good article' count (though extra namespaces can be added to content namespaces), searching separately from other namespaces, listing pages separately from other namespaces in Allpages
[23:34:36] 	Splarka, thanks. I'm looking for a solution to provide content translation. Maybe a Namespace for each language is proper solution?
[23:35:20] 	generally people set up separate wikis for each language
[23:35:30] 	in cases where this isn't feasable, I think subpage syntax is the preferred method
[23:35:56] 	dunno, you should ask Commons what they do, or ask about Nikerabbit's translate extension
[23:36:02] 	/en //fr and stuff?
[23:36:41] 	I've seen that there is a languages box in the left panel (monobook) and I wonder how to make use of it
[23:38:32] 	that is for separate wikis for each language
[23:38:51] 	you define an interlang link for each wiki, and manually point each page for which a translation exists to said wiki
[23:39:16] 	well, you can do a trick with that, have the interlang links all loop back to the same wiki, and then you /can/ use namespaces for each content
[23:39:31] 	(but there is probably a reason it isn't done very often, not sure why)
[23:39:44] 	That sounds fantastic!
[23:40:03] 	!langlinks
[23:40:03] --mwbot--	Language links are links to translations of the same article on another wiki. For information on how to set up language links, see 
[23:40:11] 	Any further information or a link?
[23:40:13] 	Great!
[23:40:18] 	so, you do like that, but you have all links point to the same wiki
[23:41:13] 	That should not be a problem with the default installation or am I wrong?
[23:41:27] 	should work in theory
[23:42:21] 	note to have them work with 'in other languages' they must be valid language codes from languages/Names.php (or defined as custom languages)
[23:42:55] 	so you might define 'fr' as 'http://your.wiki/index.php?title=$1' and 'sv' as 'http://your.wiki/index.php?title=$1' and 'de' as 'http://your.wiki/index.php?title=$1'
[23:43:24] 	Yes I see. Thank you
[23:44:35] 	and then on [[Help]] add the text: [[fr:Aide]] [[de:Hilfe]] [[sv:Bork Bork!]]
[23:45:01] 	or, if you want them in segregated namespaces: [[fr:Francais:Aide]] [[de:Deutch:Hilfe]] [[sv:Svensk:Bork Bork!]]
[23:45:24] 	or you can even use the namespaces in defining the iw_url: 'fr' as 'http://your.wiki/index.php?title=Francais:$1'  etc
[23:45:52] 	note you can't use Fr: there as a namespace as that matches an interwiki prefix, and would conflict
