[00:01:08] Another question, has someone tried the LZMA compression as an alternative format for the regular database dumps? [00:04:41] is the syntax fixed now, or they might be modifications in the future? [00:05:11] the latter [00:05:55] e.g., does it evolve gradually, as people feel like it, or there are enforced regulations for it? [00:06:32] does the parser change regularly? (although for minor changes) [00:07:48] it grows like cancer [00:08:08] I want to double check if it is really reasonable to give it a try (building an alternative parser) [00:09:05] start looking at the source of the current parser and the parser tests [00:09:23] and learn about things like ast's:) [00:09:54] I am reading stuff for it now, [00:10:52] but before even starting to look at the code (I have grown some fear about it), I think I should make sure it is sane. [00:13:05] So do you think it is reasonably doable? [00:20:08] OK, thanks a lot. Back to reading ...

[03:24:18] 03(mod) Add Simple Forms MediaWiki extension - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10928 (10eep) [03:33:28] Can someone help me perform a dump rebuilt i dont really know how to do it under windows [03:42:06] is it possible to set MediaWiki so anyone can edit an article's discussion page, but only, say, Sysops can edit the articles themselves? [03:43:07] Yes. [03:43:18] can you direct me to a resource that outlines how to do this? [03:43:20] < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_rights > [03:43:41] I tried what it suggested and it didn't work [03:44:06] either one can edit nothing or one can edit everything (except protected) by those settings [03:44:08] What version of MediaWiki do you have? [03:44:19] 1.8.4 [03:45:01] The "Anonymous users can only comment" doesn't work? [03:45:03] specifically, the last example allowed anon to edit an article AND its discussion [03:45:24] Hmm... it shouldn't. [03:45:46] Looking at the options in the tables above, "editpage" is not listed at all. [03:45:52] It only appears in that example. [03:46:05] And just using "edit" kills editing discussion pages. [03:46:25] ...try looking through < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access > [03:47:51] Those all discuss permissions for editing certain articles by certain types of users, not editing just discussion pages. [03:48:22] There's a section on restricting entire namespaces, no? [03:49:29] Is 1.8.4 classified as "Pre-1.10"? [03:49:43] Yep. [03:50:43] The 1 is the major version number; the 8 and 10 are minor version numbers. [03:51:41] Right, I just always get confused when I see 1.8 < 1.10 when in my mind it should be 1.08 < 1.10. [03:52:19] Well, 1.08 would be equivalent. :) [03:52:27] Either way, I'll carefully try upgrading and then using that section.

[05:09:08] therealnanotube: never heard about such a feature. [05:10:54] hm... can you think of any underhanded way to accomplish it? keeping in mind that i own the wiki, and can do any kind of admin stuff on the backend? [05:11:26] can't tweak the apache server config, but can edit mediawiki code, etc. [05:15:57] any ideas? [05:16:13] or am i basically screwed? ;) [05:18:07] therealnanotube: hack the code :) [05:19:01] ehrm, well, yea, that's what i was kind of assuming i'd have to do, but... i was hoping for some hints :) diving into a big lump of php code without direction is kinda... scary :) [05:43:21] ok, so there's stuff in redirect.php that looks to be on the right track, with the header("location") bit and all... but doesn't seem to be actually used by an internal redirect (when i edit it to cripple it, doesn't change the redirects)... [05:48:17] anyone can tell me how i can affect the page redirects? editing redirect.php doesn't seem to do anything (the changes show up when calling redirect.php directly, but not when looking at actual page redirects) [05:56:12] anybody alive? [06:06:35] hello [06:06:40] i have a strange problem... [06:06:48] nobody can log into my wiki [06:06:53] or register, even [06:06:55] :-s [06:06:58] and i can't log out [06:08:27] any ideas? [06:10:58] maybe your sessions directory is read-only? [06:11:04] hmm [06:11:23] where would it be? [06:11:53] in localsettings.php, its set with "session_save_path", that should point to where your sessions dir is [06:12:17] hmm [06:12:44] found it? [06:12:55] no. [06:12:59] hrm [06:13:16] it's not even in the file [06:14:17] ah... then it's probably not set specifically, which means its in the default location [06:14:28] unfortunately... i don't know offhand where that default location is :) gotta google it [06:14:32] :-( [06:15:58] maybe the default is in /tmp... in which case probably the problem is not what i was guessing it was... [06:33:59] :-S [06:34:03] it didn't work :-( [06:34:05] wtf [06:34:50] so, that Project: namespace redirect to $wgMetaNamespace/$wgSitename... if it were not working, what file and/or setting/variable might be at fault?

[20:37:09] The mediawiki is located in /www/htdocs/mediawiki and it can be found at kreth.mine.nu/mediawiki [20:38:41] I reserved a adress www.trampolinwiki.de.vu which is redirecting to kreth.mine.nu/mediawiki. This works, but the adress is changed back to kreth.mine.nu/mediawiki [20:39:23] <_Danny_B_> robchurch: so if i put the link to the category page like [[:category:foo]] it won't appear on that list just because thereis no category member? [20:39:53] Special:Wantedcategories is a list of categories without description pages. [20:40:04] [[:Category:Foo]] does not place a page in a category. [20:40:14] So I added $wgServer and $wgServerName in LocalSettings.php but then the page doesn't work anymore.... [20:41:29] <_Danny_B_> robchurch: i know. but couple times the list was containing categories even though they had no memberf,but link to. and after the link was removed, the item on list disappeared [20:41:45] That sounds like a coincidence. [20:41:59] <_Danny_B_> ok then [20:42:04] It might also be due to pending link updates which would have been done immediately upon page save. [20:42:20] With wgScriptpath ="mediawiki" it searches in /mediawiki/mediawiki and with wgScriptPath ="" the page is unformated as you can see currently. [20:42:38] Can anyone offer some help? [20:43:02] Nevertheless, that would be a bug, and I don't see why you would ask for completely incorrect page semantics to work around it. [20:43:23] :-s [20:43:25] hmm [20:43:27] it's not selinux [20:43:31] <_Danny_B_> robchurch: do you think special:wantedpages could have namespace selector then? [20:43:59] There's a Special:Wantedpages with a namespace selector in the unfinished report branch I worked on last month. [20:44:11] I'm waiting for brion to tell me whether or not I'm on crack or not before I complete it. [20:44:52] <_Danny_B_> ok, good job, thx [20:45:45] Anyone?

[21:08:14] how do wikipedia administrators do? [21:08:28] for checking (if they do) [21:08:49] if you want to watch a page easily go to page and click watch [21:09:02] but a bot can do it as well. [21:09:03] *spaz gags [21:09:46] ok, is there an option "autowatch" for enable "watch" on all new pages I create? [21:10:04] There is, actually; have a look in preferences. [21:11:09] ok thx [21:11:11] I found [21:11:58] and for configuatation of e-mail set $wgEnotifWatchlist to true [21:12:53] if I don't do that, what's the difference between watching and no watching?

[21:16:42] <_Danny_B_> is it possible to set default thumbnail size other than current (i think) 180 px? [21:16:43] that's what robchurch told [21:16:51] I didn't understand [21:16:52] Special:Upload [21:17:01] _Danny_B_: For you, or for all users? [21:17:07] Where I have to write that? [21:17:07] It's a preference, so it's doable for both. [21:17:08] <_Danny_B_> all users [21:17:09] go to Special:Upload [21:17:20] where? [21:17:29] No luck yet. thanks for help. [21:17:38] in search box for sure [21:17:42] IIRC, the actual values that are valid preferences are confined to a set in includes/DefaultSettings.php, but of course, you can casually override that too. :) [21:18:29] ah it's ok [21:18:30] thank [21:18:31] s [21:18:31] :) [21:18:36] but you should have set $wgEnableUploads=true [21:18:42] You're welcome [21:18:44] yes it is true [21:18:50] <_Danny_B_> robchurch: so if we wanted to set bigger one on our wiki, we need somebody with shell access, right? isn't possible to make it as message? [21:19:44] good night [21:20:22] you're welcome [21:21:23] Why my mediawiki gives me Warning:proc_open(/dev/null) [function.proc-open]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\lighttst\includes\Parser.php on line 730 [21:21:45] It happens after using tidy [21:22:03] and the tabs are displaced too [21:23:24] Why would you set that as a message? [21:23:32] Sounds like an abuse of the message cache to me. [21:24:08] robchurch. do you mean me? [21:24:13] no [21:24:41] ok [21:24:44] Apparently, MediaWiki is trying to open /dev/null, for what purpose I couldn't say offhand, and it doesn't like it. [21:24:55] Presumably this is because /dev/null is an invalid path under Windows. [21:25:00] I suspect this may be a known bug. [21:25:46] but why tabs are displaced [21:26:09] I used correct tidy.conf [21:26:09] Because the error screws up the rendering, and all the pretty CSS doesn't quite work after that. [21:27:12] It's nothing to do with tidy.conf, it's a bug in MediaWiki. [21:27:54] So I'll wait for its patch:) [21:28:01] Yes, bug 8737. Let me see... [21:28:29] maybe I shouldn't use many templates are used in wikipedia [21:30:13] can anyone offer me an extension to prevent acces to a page [21:30:15] ? [21:30:24] access [21:30:37] disallow category may work [21:30:52] another?

[21:37:52] Well, it's mildly discourteous, but provided you keep the copyright notice on Special:Version intact, I don't think it violates the licence. [21:38:40] Anyone know how to list a category and it's contents in a little box, like on Wikipedia? [21:38:52] Thanks robchurch. Have good time. [21:38:59] I've gotten a request to enhance the category listings on our Mediawiki site (SourceWatch.og), and I'm hoping that one of you geniuses can give me advice. I'm kind of stumped. [21:39:20] SykoSilver: You mean the CategoryTree extension? [21:39:31] I have no ida. [21:39:52] That's what produces the little [+] links and expands categories at the top of category pages. [21:40:12] Otherwise, I don't know what you're talking about, and you'll need to show us. :) [21:41:08] robchurch: at the bottom of this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Diamond_and_Pearl [21:41:39] Though I would like to list a category on the main page as well, without the main page being in the category... [21:41:49] The thing that starts with Categories: All articles with... [21:42:00] or the box with Pokemon video games in? [21:42:19] the box with Pokemon video games [21:42:41] That's a template. [21:43:00] We have a "tobacco documents biographies" category on our site. We have about 10,000 articles that belong to this category (which means that they are mentioned somewhere in tobacco industry documents). The problem is that it's difficult for people to browse through a listing of 10,000 articles when each page only shows 200 articles at a time. People who are using our site want us to provide an an easier way to do it, such [21:45:11] 03robchurch * r24838 10/trunk/phase3/ (4 files in 2 dirs): (bug 8737) Fix warnings caused by incorrect use of `/dev/null` when piping process error output under Windows [21:45:24] 03(FIXED) Warnings on Windows with Tidy enabled from reference to /dev/ null - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8737 +comment (10robchur) [21:45:45] the_unluckiest: There, that should be in the 1.11.0 release, unless I've taken too many happy pills again, and it has to be reverted.
