[03:07:49] hi [03:07:59] I was here yesterday already [03:09:28] unfortunately I was not able to find out yet, how I can achieve a knowledge-base-like style in media wiki [03:09:37] something close to this look: https://www.minerva-kb.com [03:09:58] can mediawiki really offer this functionality & look and feel? [03:26:15] SemiNus: this skin may be helpful: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Chameleon [03:31:27] thank you very much Yaron !! [03:32:32] Yaron, I am sure it's just my bad, but I cannot image it yet [03:33:00] this is a live FAQ example of a local internet service provider [03:33:01] https://www.hosteurope.de/faq/ [03:34:00] May I please ask you for a little more info about Chameleon? [04:13:37] hello there :-) I'm now building an script that gets the revision data from wikipedia's api, and have checked the docs, I wonder if you guys can tell me the best q/s? It is quite embarrasing to say but I've run one version of my scripts on my school's server but it seemed that I've been blocked... [04:27:26] hi xeocs [04:28:05] xeocs: have you read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Etiquette#Request_limit ? [05:34:22] Hi legoktm, thank you for your reply :-) yes, I did, but I wonder if there is a best practice? I vetted my script, it seemed that it was trying multiple connections at the same time, I've beening modifying it since.. [05:35:00] well the best practice is that you can go as fast as you can as long as you don't go in parallel [05:37:46] oh okay, thank you, so say for example I have multiple titles to collect and each provides a rvcontinue, I should only use the api for one title at a time then another after the current title's rvcontinue finishes? [05:38:44] thank you very much for your help :-) have a good night. [05:42:59] I think so yes [05:43:51] thanks, I see :-) [08:09:26] is there any minimum quality for extensions in gerrit? or can I add any old crap? [08:13:31] TimStarling: i think if your adding older extensions, just as long as you will maintain it [08:13:37] but I doubt anyone really cares [08:14:20] andre: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166954 [08:15:01] zhwiki: sentence? :) [08:15:28] pasting a link without any info / question does not allow me to guess why you're doing so :) [08:15:41] I'm trying to fix the problem [08:16:55] zhwiki: that is okay. but why did you ping me? [08:17:33] Cheat? [08:17:53] Or the Ping of the network? [08:18:23] zhwiki, I don't understand. [08:18:28] what is "cheat"? [08:18:37] Why you pasted that link to me here, 4 minutes ago, was my question. [08:18:44] I might have a problem communicating [08:18:59] or more general: "Why do you ping me specifically?" [08:19:14] zhwiki: what do you expect from me, by passing that link to me? [08:19:21] Oh, I'm looking for you to help me with the problem [08:19:36] I cannot. [08:19:47] zhwiki, But if you have a question, ask your question. [08:19:56] zhwiki: "I am looking for help" is not a question :P [08:20:26] ok [13:14:54] I am struggling with the extension MobileFrontend (default Minerva skin). How can I force it to display categories at the bottom of the page? [13:47:12] MobileFrontend, woof. [14:33:08] do we have any good docs for setting up Elasticsearch ? I cant seem to get my instance working [14:36:54] Betacommand: are you looking for elasticsearch+cirrussearch docs or pure elasticsearch cluster setup? [14:37:43] dcausse: elasticsearch+cirrussearch [14:37:47] setting up a simple elastic cluster (1 node) is relatively easy, they provide packages for main distributions [14:38:14] dcausse: ive got it installed but it doesnt appear to be functional [14:38:25] Betacommand: how do you check it's functional? [14:39:02] curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/?pretty' [14:39:25] dcausse: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html [14:42:11] Betacommand: if you get "Connection refused" even after trying to start it with "sudo service elasticsearch start", look at /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log to see if it contains any info [14:42:50] dcausse: there are no logs in that folder [14:46:54] Betacommand: it sometimes happen if the JVM fails to start, do you have java installed and sufficient ram to run it? (check Xmx options in /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options for es v5 or /etc/default/elasticsearch es v2) [16:31:21] hi, I have set up mediawiki with the visual editor, but the Cite menu is missing. Do I need an addon module for that? [16:32:26] !e Cite | Freenoodle [16:32:26] Freenoodle: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite_ [16:33:01] thanks!! [16:37:48] Vulpix, strangely there is alread extensions/Cite but no SpecialCite.php in it, should I replace that directory? [16:38:35] ah, so you want https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CiteThisPage ? [16:39:01] even if the directory is there, you should enable it in LocalSettings.php [16:41:24] Vulpix, Cite and CiteThisPage are both enabled already. citethispage seems to be unrelated to the visual editor. [16:41:52] I am looking for the plugin to the visual editor, which allows easy footnotes [16:43:08] I don't know how it works, but I've found this that may help you https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Citation_tool [16:45:00] a, thanks, that's what I was looking for. The initial setup looks like a lot of work, though [19:21:37] Extension MobileFrontend (default Minerva skin). Is there a way to display the categories at the bottom of the page? [19:36:23] violinwiki: i don't know, but try asking at #wikimedia-mobile too [20:25:58] Thanks [23:07:20] Is this an appropriate channel to ask in, if I'm having problems with the PdfBook extension? (Problems rending PDF.) [23:07:39] Not sure where to go for extension issues [23:17:40] kfogel: Yes, you can ask here although it is not certain that somebody will be able to answer questions on specific extensions. You could also try the talk page on mediawiki.org or the MW mailing list. [23:17:49] Thanks, FoxT. [23:18:14] I'm made some debugging progress, so I'll see how far I get before I ask anything here.
