[00:27:31] no. [00:27:37] or do I have to do getContributors(0,infinity)? [00:28:02] hmm hmm [00:28:19] you can construct an sql query to get the info. it's ok for a single page, but very inefficient if you want to do it in bulk [00:28:21] i need to make it so that only the person who created the page and admins can edit it [00:28:32] for recently created pages, you can use the recentchanges table, though. that's fast. [00:29:07] zocky: page ownership sucks. it's a wiki, not groupware... [00:29:17] if you really want this, make an extra table that records ownership. [00:29:21] Duesentrieb, in my case, it's a GIS machine :) [00:29:51] whatever [00:36:57] 03(NEW) Mailman search on mediawiki-api missing word database file or it' s inaccessible - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11088 normal; normal; Wikimedia: Mailing lists; (danny_b) [00:51:25] OK, so I changed skins on my wiki, and I changed the default in my localsettings.php but all my users stil either see the old skin or the site is broken for them [00:51:27] ok, that wasn't that bad :) [00:51:36] how do I force the new skin to show up for them [00:52:12] I even renamed monobook to monobook2 thinking since monobook nolonger could be found it would select the default skin, but they are just seeing no skin now [00:52:27] it would be in general a good idea if "default" skin in preferences meant default [00:52:45] what do you mean? [00:53:14] $wgDefaultSkin = is what I changed... [00:53:24] there must be some way to force it on all my users, right? [00:55:45] in fact I'd really like to make it so they didnt have a choice for the skin at all [01:43:03] hmm, I asked a little bit ago, but I am asking again, dang it... [01:43:08] I changed the skin on my wiki [01:43:13] many people didnt see the skin [01:43:30] how can I force it to change for them? [01:43:54] I took the skin tab out of the preferences screen [01:44:01] Edit the database. I think there's also a skin in maintenance/. [01:44:06] Er, a script in maintenance/. [01:44:07] amazingdave, so go edit their records in the database. [01:44:15] That will change user preferences. [01:44:30] how do I get to the script? [01:44:47] I forgot my database password... I was gonna try that, I am waiting for my host to get back to me [01:45:50] . . . Look for it in LocalSettings.php. You do have FTP access, don't you? [01:46:00] ya [01:46:08] I am there [01:46:18] Anyway, you can't (easily) run maintenance scripts without shell access, so if you don't have that then never mind. [01:46:41] sigh... I dont even know what shell access is... [01:46:57] I need someone who knows what the heck they are doing to be the administrator of this site... [01:49:35] flyingparchment: http://pa.us.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page [01:51:04] I wish there were more admin settings within the actual wiki... [02:02:03] amazingdave, yeah, MW sucks in that regard pretty badly. It's not good for non-techy people to administer. [02:02:36] even worse if they ever add in more built in features upgrading is gonna be a nightmare [02:02:49] I've made so many changes...

I am not even sure what my login is... [02:06:24] ok... I dont know it, I give up [02:09:44] after I've created a new skin, how do I move all existing users to that skin? [02:10:00] They see it before they log in, but after they get monobook [02:10:07] haha [02:10:14] I'm having the same problem [02:10:20] :) [02:10:51] they reccomended to me to login to the database and manually change it somehow, unfortunately i forgot my database login [02:11:16] I tried that, but it doesn't help because its a blob: [02:11:26] phpmyadmin says it can't edit blobs [02:11:48] hmm, well if you figure out let me know [02:11:59] likewise [02:12:02] :) [02:13:35] !!!

[02:24:17] anyone in here consider themself a wiki consultant? [02:29:08] I dont get where I am supposed to paste the middle part [02:29:18] The middle section needs to be inserted into the "normalizeKey( $key )" function in the "includes/Skin.php" file.

[03:00:34] it says, but i dont get where that is [03:00:43] inside of the ()? [03:01:22] amazingdave, we don't particularly support hacks like that. It's best to ask the author of the hack, who gave you the instructions. [03:01:48] If you don't understand the instructions, it's likely a bad idea to try following them, since you will tend to break your site. [03:04:14] sigh... I hate computer machines and the internets [03:09:58] well I guess I am out of luck [03:17:14] how do I check what version of mediawiki I am running? [03:17:38] amazingdave, Special:Version. [03:20:18] Simetrical: how do I check what the most recent changes to the wiki have been? [03:20:42] evanpro, look at Special:Recentchanges? [03:20:48] !! [03:20:59] Well, you seem to have all the answers. [03:21:15] Where could I get a list of all these "special pages"? [03:21:16] *Simetrical waits for someone to ask him how to find their contributions to the wiki [03:21:33] evanpro, Special:Specialpages :P [03:21:42] I'm trying to think of some other ones that are pretty much self-explanatory [03:22:17] Where can I get a list of pages that are unwatched? [03:22:28] How can I block an IP? [03:22:55] Actually most of the special pages have names that sound exactly like what they do [03:23:14] Well, yes, that's our little attempt at good naming practices. [03:23:18] But that might be because I think like a MW person thinks [03:23:28] *Simetrical eyes Special:Recentchangeslinked dubiously [03:23:46] But you have to know that special pages are the primary function of doing things and gathering information in the wiki. [03:23:58] Which isn't immediately obvious if all you do is edit, view histories, etc. [03:24:37] Simetrical: I think I've trolled you too hard [03:24:43] For which I apologize [03:24:58] You aren't trolling anything . . . [03:25:04] OK [03:25:05] Good [03:25:28] For the first question I wasn't totally sure if you were serious, after that it was obvious. [03:25:42] So, here's a better philosophical question: when should something be an action, and when should it be a special page? [03:26:01] I think we added actions up until we realized that we had too many actions, then we switched over to special pages [03:26:10] It should be an action if it was added to the software before special pages were invented, and a special page otherwise. [03:26:12] I don't think there's a bright-line rule [03:26:14] Or at least that's our philosophy. [03:26:25] Yeah [03:26:52] I have... 3 actions I added to the switch statement before we started doing more specials [03:27:26] hmmm .. generally I think of actions when it's really just associated with a certain title [03:27:39] Of course that doesn't hold up always, but seems to be the general "rule" [03:27:44] I think actions when it makes sense as a method of the Article class [03:28:07] If deletion were implemented today, it would be Special:Delete. [03:28:09] Ditto protection. [03:28:20] Well, we have lots of specials that take a target= parameter, or just have a slash parameter. [03:28:21] Indeed [03:28:26] Editing is fundamental enough to stay an action, and maybe history, but not much else. [03:28:29] Not sure if it would be a good choice though [03:28:37] action=delete is very sensible, sort of like action=edit [03:28:38] I think it would be. It gives a consistent interface. [03:28:47] Consistent, although unusual. [03:28:47] See, I'd say the opposite: delete, protect, etc. would be actions [03:28:55] And Special:History/Title [03:29:00] One could argue the inconsistency was introduced by things like Special:Undelete [03:29:18] amidaniel, also sort of like action=oversight and action=unprotect and action=undelete, right? [03:29:42] I'd probably go in totally the opposite direction. [03:29:43] Kill all actions. [03:29:46] Special:Edit/pagename [03:29:56] It's the most consistent approach. [03:30:01] Hmm [03:30:11] I dunno .. seems like a strange approach [03:30:17] Maybe it's just what you've gotten used to though :) [03:30:24] Special:Talk/Pagename [03:30:38] Special:View/Pagename [03:30:40] evanpro, no, talk pages are normal pages, not special pages. [03:30:57] Normal pages contain user-added content, special pages don't. [03:31:02] Simetrical: gee, my reductio ad absurdum turned out absurd...? [03:31:06] (not counting admins fiddling with the messages) [03:31:07] :P [03:31:14] See, I don't know you well enough. [03:31:18] Sorry [03:31:38] If you were flyingparchment I would probably have ignored those last two lines as clearly sarcastic. [03:31:54] It's funny, because we talk pretty often on this channel, but I think you talk to a lot of people here [03:32:00] evanpro: Took a while longer for Simetrical to find it absurd than I though :) [03:32:37] I was trying to think of a counter-example, where special pages contain user-added content [03:32:48] All I can think of is Special:Log, which is kind of a stretch [03:33:09] That's not user-editable, anyway. [03:33:27] Well, just barely. I mean, they can add summaries and stuff. [03:33:33] Not edit them. [03:33:37] And its primary purpose is not the user-editable content, even if it were editable. [03:33:39] Fair dinkum [03:33:49] The actual wiki pages are non-special, they're just . . . wiki pages. [03:34:10] OK, I'm going to create a special page that contains just user-editable content, just to be a counter-example [03:34:30] For no good reason whatsoever [03:34:34] Yes, but it will be a clearly inappropriate use of special pages, and it won't be in the core software, so I can ignore it. [03:34:44] Oh, I can commit it to the core software [03:34:59] Not for long. [03:35:01] Then you'll have to support it in this very channel! [03:35:04] !! [03:35:13] Don't forget 3RR [03:35:41] I think for commits it's more like 1RR and then brion gives everyone a smack. [03:35:47] B-) [03:35:48] But I've never tried. [03:35:57] Isn't that weird? [03:36:13] Kind of like wheel-warring, but awesomer and more pointless (given that it won't go live until brion's reviewed it anyway). [03:36:28] OK, gotta go put the baby to sleep [03:36:35] Good night floks, fun as always [03:36:58] flock(*evanpro); [03:37:38] *Simetrical would do fwrite() now but can't for the life of him remember the syntax [03:37:57] (C++ had a good thing going with I/O streams, easy to remember for the most part and the same for everything) [03:38:24] s/had/has/ [03:42:06] how do I find an error log? [03:42:18] For what? Apache, MySQL, PHP, or MediaWIki? [03:42:27] mediawiki [03:43:07] MediaWiki itself keeps no logs by default. You need to enable it in LocalSettings.php, check Google or mediawiki.org for instructions. [03:57:05] hi all [03:57:16] how do i create a link to a windows file share?

[05:39:14] (such as wikipedia for example) [05:39:44] something to export to pdf, or whatever standard [05:40:33] i heard of some sort of library under fuse which could perhaps do the trick [05:40:40] but.. well i dont know :P [05:40:55] they dont have a wikipedia page about that :O [06:06:20] is there a solution to this yet: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Google_Maps#Working_with_templates ? [06:06:39] this seems to be a general template-related parser problem (it has a wikimedia bug report) [06:17:05] <_wooz> lo [06:18:21] what i will break if rename namespace? (ie from bookshelf to books) [06:18:51] backlinks? [06:19:08] only? [06:19:22] think so, i'm not an expert though [06:19:29] or safe way is rename pages to main namespace then rename namespace in LocalSettings then rename back ? [06:19:50] i could sacrifice backlinks because all of them are by categories so will surviwe [06:34:12] so, how many of you tried using an extension in a template? i would guess at least someone has encountered the problem where the parser doesn't transfer the template variables to the extension but rather the {{{xyz}}} strings [06:34:57] piksi: yeah. it's bug 2257 [06:35:35] I heard jeluf had worked on a fix for that.

Is there any documentation on how to call MW functions from an external app? [07:29:48] I'm trying to integrate Mediawiki into a Gforge plugin, and I'd like to synchronise the user accounts. [07:30:19] But I'd rather use the methods provided by the Mediawiki code rather than access the database directly... [07:31:17] You could either try an AuthPlugin or include the includes/WebStart.php [07:32:22] I don't have WebStart.php, only WebRequest.php. I guess it was introduced after the version I use (1.7.1). [07:33:10] I'll read AuthPlugin.php and see what I find there. Thanks for the pointer. [07:34:49] Hm. It seems to be the wrong way around for my needs. [07:35:22] From what I read, it allows MW to call external code, while I'd like it the other way round.

[12:16:24] Hi [12:17:02] Is there any chance that a =title= (

title

) has an initial number different from "1"? [12:19:27] I don't think so. [12:19:42] note that numbering can be turned off as a user preference [12:22:08] Duesentrieb: I'm googling and it seems CSS2 allows 'counter-reset' [12:22:47] hi guys! [12:23:11] any ide how to delete a file in wiki [12:23:42] So I just wonder how to embed CSS in a page [12:24:14] I just didn't try, just waiting for suggestions while I test something... [12:29:05] I put , but it was ignored [12:29:16] I'm not an html nor css expert [12:32:28] In the html source, the section I wrote is embedded in
 ... 
[12:41:05] Duesentrieb: I've found my small code to work in a single html file, setting a random initial number [12:41:35] omgs: some MediaWiki extension will allow arbitrary CSS I beleive [12:42:06] faceface: can you give more details, please? [12:42:30] I forget... [12:42:30] And I just wonder if I could write an own "keyword" for that [12:42:56] can you tell me if your CSS can reset a # list to start from 2? [12:43:03] yes [12:43:45] At least, I've tried with h1, and no problem [12:43:59] But the method seems general, taken from w3.org [12:44:25] omgs: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:All_extensions the first page alone has lots of hits to 'css' [12:44:33] (the first 200 extensions) [12:44:59] hmm, CSS? [12:45:05] Page CSS is a nice extension ;) [12:45:40] where is it at? [12:45:52] MediaWiki's SVN repository [12:45:56] I have some # lists that I want to offset by 2 [12:46:08] Jack_Phoenix: where is it described? [12:46:14] nowhere really [12:46:21] well, the file has some comments, but meh [12:46:25] it works and it's nice [12:46:34] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/PageCSS/ [12:46:39] oh.... [12:47:48] Jack_Phoenix: do you understand what I want to get? [12:48:02] dunno, I came in just a moment ago. mind explaining it please? :) [12:48:32] I think it would be cool if with a keyword such __H1 22__, h1 counter was reset to that number [12:49:07] So, =my title= was displayed as "22 my title" [12:49:20] and html

my title

[12:49:35] omgs: show us the css to get that effect? [12:50:09] Hello all :) [12:50:32] faceface: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html [12:50:45] search "counter-reset" [12:51:03] in the page, I mean [12:51:06] omgs: it is possible you could more easily say "{{H1|22}}" [12:51:17] faceface: let me try... [12:51:30] omgs: it wont work until you build it [12:51:38] using one of the css extensions [12:52:29] faceface: you mean a custom keyword (instead of the probably ugly I typed before)? [12:53:17] omgs: wiki uses keywords like __SOME_SUCH__, but they are 'deep' in the sense that you need to hack code if you want to build one. [12:53:20] I'm installing a new Debian system with a new version of MediaWiki and I want to export the complete wiki and import the articles again into the new machine. Is posible to do this without expoting the articles one by one? :) [12:53:51] faceface: no problem if it works in a "standard" mediawiki way [12:53:54] yes [12:54:02] if you install a CSS extension, you can put your counter offset into some page, or more eligantly, put it into a template. Then you can call that template onto any page using the style of code I pasted. [12:54:41] I tried exporting and importing the DB but it fails :S in a SQL syntaxis telling me that it can not find a column... [12:55:08] omgs: you need to understand 'Extensions' and 'Templates' before asking any more questions... unless you question is about Templates or Extensions ;-) [12:55:13] faceface: gan you provide "mediawiki-newbie" proof instructions? [12:55:25] omgs: now you must die!!! only joking [12:55:43] er.... gota go... omgs read up!!! [12:55:46] faceface: I think I know enough to install it myself, just newbie about mediawiki [12:56:09] hi omgs [12:56:22] I'm a server admin for many years, but not used to mediawiki structure [12:56:37] omgs: it takes a lot of reading, but its worth it.

[21:50:31] <VoiceOfAll> ;) [21:50:55] <omgs> SimonMoon: thanks for the link [21:51:17] <omgs> It was helpful, but I'm unable to find out how to replace a calling parameter in the template [21:51:52] <omgs> I've created the template, so if called {{H1|5}}, I don't know how to use the "5" in the template [21:52:18] <omgs> The content of the template H1 is included, but no replacement [21:54:04] <CIA-15> 03robchurch * r25256 10/trunk/phase3/docs/hooks.txt: Re-alphabetise a few hooks [21:54:23] <Duesentrieb> omgs: err, you would use {{{1}}} for the first parameter. [21:54:24] <robchurch> hooks.txt sucks a bit [21:54:44] <Duesentrieb> omgs: or {{{foo}} if you use {{H1|foo=5}} [21:55:06] <Duesentrieb> {{{foo|xxx}}} uses xxx if foo is not given [21:55:11] <omgs> Duesentrieb: let me try... [21:55:34] *robchurch considers [21:55:49] <MinuteElectron> robchurch: Are you busy? [21:55:54] <robchurch> We could do a with a nifty script that quickly regenerates better-looking hook documentation from hooks.txt [21:56:05] <robchurch> I'm always busy. What's up? [21:56:35] <Duesentrieb> omgs: you talked about "extension" in your original question, which was misleading. parser hook extensions have special trouble with template parameters. it doesn't matter to you if you are not writing an extension (or using one in the template) [21:56:36] <MinuteElectron> I was told to use config2/ for the new config script, is that ok in your opinion? [21:56:47] <robchurch> Told by whom? [21:56:57] <Duesentrieb> me, i'm afraid :) [21:57:00] <MinuteElectron> Well, Duesentrieb said I could - not told as such. [21:57:02] *robchurch shrugs [21:57:09] <robchurch> Looks a bit silly, but whatever. [21:57:22] <MinuteElectron> robchurch: Do you have a different reccomendation? [21:57:29] <robchurch> Not really. [21:57:33] <MinuteElectron> ok [21:57:46] <Duesentrieb> "setup" would be an alternative [21:57:51] <MinuteElectron> no it wouldn't [21:57:52] <robchurch> The main problem with the current name is that it often conflicts with aliases to control panels on some hosts. [21:57:55] <Duesentrieb> configNG :) [21:57:56] <MinuteElectron> brion disagrees [21:58:16] <robchurch> Then again, that could easily be solved with a simple include() [21:58:25] <omgs> Duesentrieb: yes, but I was told to use templates, so I'm trying it now [21:58:35] <Duesentrieb> the other problem with "config" is that people think mw keeps its config files in there. and then exit the copy of localsettings.php they might have left in there. [21:58:57] <jimbojw> is there a hook which executes after undelete? like an UndeleteComplete ? [21:59:01] <robchurch> Now, the way to get brion to agree with something is to know how to present it to him. [21:59:05] <omgs> I can't say what's the right solution for my problem, thought templates get close (surely I'm misusing it) [21:59:07] <robchurch> jimbojw: Have you looked at docs/hooks.txt? [21:59:26] <jimbojw> not yet - I started with reading SpecialUndelete - then came here [21:59:41] <robchurch> For example, if you take an idea, and put it in some shorts, sandals, give it a surf board, and play some Beach Boys... [21:59:47] <MinuteElectron> brion says that 'config' is used instead of 'install' or 'setup' because it involves installation and upgrading. [21:59:54] <robchurch> jimbojw: If SpecialUndelete doesn't call wfRunHooks, have a look at the PageArchive class. [22:00:27] <jimbojw> thanks robchurch, I'll look in there [22:03:49] <jimbojw> robchurch: looks like the only wfRunHooks() call in SpecialUndelete.php is 'UndeleteShowRevision', and the word 'undelete' (case insensitive) appears nowhere in doc/hooks.txt (i'm using version 1.9.3 atm and can't upgrade) [22:04:08] <robchurch> You know what the solution is? [22:04:25] <jimbojw> not yet, no [22:04:42] <robchurch> First, blame it on the Australians. [22:04:45] <robchurch> Second, cry a bit. [22:04:51] <robchurch> Third, hack in a hook that does what you want. [22:05:03] <robchurch> Finally, sweat blood and tears trying to convince someone to commit it to trunk. [22:05:19] <jimbojw> no need - i'm a commiter now ;) [22:05:30] <robchurch> \o/ [22:05:32] <jimbojw> but yeah - i guess I'll hack in a hook for now [22:05:33] <jimbojw> thanks [22:06:29] <omgs> SimonMoon: http://mediawiki.pastey.net/72873 [22:06:41] <omgs> That's what I try to insert (as real html code) [22:07:04] <omgs> I've already done the substitution, but the code is wiped out [22:08:52] <omgs> Maybe it's not possible to get what I want by using templates? [22:09:10] <Duesentrieb> omgs: that'S because <style> is an extension tag that suffers from said parameter-extension problem. what you are trying to do is not currently possible, at least not if the extension doesn't take special care to support it. [22:09:37] <Duesentrieb> robchurch: does GeshiHighlite support expansion of template parameters ? [22:09:54] <robchurch> God knows what it supports. [22:10:02] <Duesentrieb> :P [22:10:10] <omgs> Duesentrieb: then I guess I should develop an extension that does right that [22:10:46] <Duesentrieb> omgs: does right what? you would have to modify every extension you want to use in a template. [22:11:04] <robchurch> Right, so this Kate Nash album. [22:11:14] <Duesentrieb> or provide a generic solution - search bugzilla, people have tried. but afaik, it's not possible while staying 100% backward-compatible [22:11:25] <omgs> I want to embed that code in the page by calling with {{subst:h1|5}}, for instance [22:11:31] <robchurch> Basically, what we've got is a fairly decent tune (probably sampled, but who cares) that seems to have Vicki Pollard's vocals slapped on top of it. [22:11:46] <omgs> The template is called "h1" [22:12:24] <Duesentrieb> omgs: that'S all no problem. using {{{1}}} inside extension tags like <style> is.

[22:12:44] <omgs> Yes, the code is "dumped", but not as style [22:13:07] <omgs> Maybe you're saying something I don't understand right now [22:13:10] <Duesentrieb> omgs: errr.... do you even *have* an extension that interprets <style>? that would be *another* issue. [22:13:22] <robchurch> :D [22:13:29] <Duesentrieb> >_< [22:13:46] <Duesentrieb> and wtf is <condator/>? [22:13:54] <omgs> Duesentrieb: no, but if you know the way, I'd like to know [22:13:55] <Duesentrieb> contador, whatever. [22:14:08] <Duesentrieb> omgs: err. the way to do *what*? [22:14:10] <omgs> "contador" is english "counter" [22:14:47] <Duesentrieb> i have no clue what you are trying to do, or why you think mediawiki understands <style>, or <contador>. [22:15:07] <omgs> I just want to dump the code you see in the pastebin as html in pages [22:15:33] <omgs> What I get with that is that <h1> will have a custom stylesheet [22:17:02] <wikibugs> 03(FIXED) Local time for Thai Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11074 +comment (10jeluf) [22:17:47] <Duesentrieb> omgs: for how many pages do you need this? [22:18:01] <omgs> Almost all in my custom installation [22:18:19] <omgs> Take that it's a way to number chapters, one chapter per page [22:18:21] <Duesentrieb> omgs: add it to MediaWiki:Common.css [22:18:39] <Duesentrieb> in there, you can also use page-specific classes to override default styles. [22:19:01] <omgs> Is it a plain file or do I have to edit by url?

[22:21:05] <Duesentrieb> omgs: after changing it, remember to do a forced reload to see the effect. some browsers like FF cache css aggressively. [22:22:26] <wikibugs> 03(mod) Change wikiquote into wikivitnun - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11096 +comment (10jeluf) [22:22:27] <wikibugs> 03(mod) New Namespaces on german wikisource - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11101 (10raimond.spekking) [22:24:48] <omgs> Duesentrieb: how do I call it, to specify the parameter? [22:25:25] <Duesentrieb> omgs: no parameters possible. it's simply css code that is applied for every page. [22:25:39] <Duesentrieb> omgs: what do you *ACTUALLY* want to do? [22:26:17] <omgs> If you take a look at the pastebin, there's a {{{1}}} [22:26:28] <omgs> I want that to be a parameter [22:27:10] <SimonMoon> omgs: What is the precise task you want to master here? Like what is the end result you want to achieve? Maybe there is a better way. [22:27:16] <Duesentrieb> no. what do you *ACTUALLY* want to do? in the end? what's the purpose of all this? [22:27:45] <robchurch> As Microsoft would put it, where do you want to go today? [22:28:04] <Duesentrieb> up, up and away... [22:28:06] <CIA-15> 03rotem * r25257 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesHe.php: Update. [22:28:11] <SimonMoon> Back to DOS? [22:28:22] <robchurch> Well, way back when. Nowadays it's more of a question of "which orifice do you want us to violate today?" [22:28:41] <omgs> As I said all the time, I just want a custom way to number chapters (<h1>), by specifing a paramater [22:28:50] <omgs> The only way I know to do that is via css [22:29:10] <Duesentrieb> omgs: each chaperter being a page? <h1> is generally used only for the page title. [22:29:22] <omgs> And the chapter number, too [22:29:33] <Duesentrieb> you want to show a number in fron of the page title? but it should not be part of the page title? customizable for every page? [22:30:13] <omgs> Take that <h2> inherit the <h1> numbering, so if you are in chapter 8, you'll see <h2> and lower as 1, instead of the real chapter [22:30:53] <Duesentrieb> omgs: it will not, since the numbering of headings is not done with css. [22:30:54] <SimonMoon> Wish i could help you, but i do not really grasp what you want. [22:31:14] <omgs> Duesentrieb: believe me, it is, I've tested it [22:31:27] <Duesentrieb> omgs: section numbering is a user option. the numbers are generated as fixed html. [22:31:29] <omgs> Please test my code in a raw html and you'll see [22:31:30] <robchurch> Fake it, baby! They won't even know! [22:31:39] <Duesentrieb> o_O [22:31:50] <robchurch> Who gives a toss about semantic markup? [22:31:54] <SimonMoon> sounds like something out of a bedroom conversation... [22:32:24] <robchurch> It's a song lyric. [22:32:39] <robchurch> That is, the "fake it" line. Nobody sings about semantic markup. [22:33:33] <Duesentrieb> omgs: if you put css-generated numbering on h2, h3, etc, it will be inconsistent with the numbering given in the table of contents (which you get with more than 3 headlines per page) [22:34:13] <omgs> No, only for h1 [22:34:17] <Duesentrieb> omgs: anyway, there are probably extensions for injecting per-page styles. [22:34:47] <robchurch> Like PageCSS. [22:35:08] <SimonMoon> Hmm, whom do i have to bribe to get a new hook into MW? [22:35:45] <robchurch> Four people. [22:35:50] <robchurch> Equal shares. [22:36:06] <robchurch> Open a bug report. [22:36:18] <Duesentrieb> omgs: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AddScriptCss [22:36:43] <omgs> http://mediawiki.pastey.net/72875 for those curious [22:38:03] <Duesentrieb> anyway, that extension also allows people to add javascript. with drastic security implications [22:38:19] <robchurch> So use PageCSS. [22:38:24] <robchurch> PageCSS even validates the CSS. [22:38:25] <SimonMoon> thanks robchurch. I namely want one where the external links are taken care off. And maybe one for internal links. The html with the css and the tile added is not alwyas wanted :) [22:38:27] <robchurch> Well, sanitises it. [22:38:30] <Duesentrieb> otoh, it has both a tag form and a parser function form. and parameters will work with the parser function form. [22:39:05] <Duesentrieb> robchurch: i expected that would exist, but didn't find it on mw.org [22:39:16] <robchurch> It's in Subversion. [22:39:39] <Duesentrieb> bah, make a page on mwo. nobody finds stuff in subversion if he doesn't know where to look. [22:39:48] <robchurch> I WILL NOT [22:40:02] <robchurch> The Boilerplate in Subversion's a damn sight better than the Boilerplate on MW.org, too. [22:40:19] <omgs> robchurch: can you provide a link?

Hitachi has a 1TB 7200RPM drive out for abour $200 [23:09:20] <mutante> heh, i read wikipediafs, then you said you wish you had more diskspace, and for a moment i thought of gmailfs, and wikipedia being used by people to have more diskspace, like by uploading binary data in little snippets like usenet bins, or something [23:09:20] <SimonMoon> Anyone got a pointer to some hiddin MW page anywhere that talks about how to actually create hooks? Not use them, but create.. [23:09:25] <amidaniel> Although you can buy two 750GB's for cheaper :) [23:09:44] <robchurch> Jeez, disk is even cheaper in the UK. [23:09:54] <amidaniel> robchurch: Is it? [23:11:05] <amidaniel> SimonMoon: Erm .. to create one, you just call wfRunHooks( 'myhook', args ..) .. what hook do you need? [23:12:11] <amidaniel> Because if it's not in there already, it's either a bad thing for you to be hooking or it should be in there but hasn't gotten in there yet [23:13:41] <SimonMoon> hmm, so its a 10 second oparation to add a new hook then... [23:14:11] <SimonMoon> And a lifetime to learn how to spell *hangs his head in shame* [23:14:18] <amidaniel> Indeed .. but most nonexistant hooks are nonexistant for a reason [23:14:35] <CIA-15> 03tstarling * r25258 10/trunk/debs/wikimedia-task-appserver/debian/postrm: Remove conf file diversions on purge, not on remove [23:15:06] <SimonMoon> Can you enlighten me on that topic maybe? Like what are the reasons for not adding one? [23:15:47] <VoiceOfAll> TimStarling: isn't that just an insane query? -> SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT SUBSTRING(rev_timestamp,1,8)) FROM `mw_revision` WHERE rev_user = 1 AND rev_comment != ”; [23:15:58] *VoiceOfAll lols [23:16:09] <amidaniel> Because they lot you screw with things that oughtn't be screwed with and will do nothing but cause you headaches, maybe? :) [23:16:14] <amidaniel> s/lot/let [23:16:18] <TimStarling> does that even work? [23:16:23] <VoiceOfAll> yep [23:16:30] <VoiceOfAll> .0032 sec for 4000 rows [23:17:01] <VoiceOfAll> TimStarling: get the "days of edits" [23:17:26] *VoiceOfAll wonders if the speed drop is linear [23:17:35] <CIA-15> 03tstarling * r25259 10/trunk/debs/wikimedia-task-appserver/debian/changelog: changelog for diversion fun [23:17:38] <VoiceOfAll> that would be .16 sec for a 200,000 edit user [23:17:38] *amidaniel goes off to build more $%!#^@$#! circuits .. bbl [23:17:46] <VoiceOfAll> amidaniel: meow? ;) [23:17:51] <amidaniel> grrowl [23:18:52] <TimStarling> 0.0032s is barely enough time for a seek, are you sure the index wasn't all in memory already? [23:19:05] <TimStarling> the extrapolation is a little bit dubious [23:19:58] <robchurch> And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you never use mathematical phrases in front of an academic. [23:21:31] <VoiceOfAll> :p [23:22:03] <Solifugus> The UPGRADE file says to preserve certain files/directories (e.g. LocalSetting.php)--Does this mean copy them off, unpack mediawiki files, then copy those "preserved" files back in? [23:22:09] <robchurch> If you like. [23:23:35] <SimonMoon> So this is a new hook then? wfRunHooks('ExternalLinkAttributes', array(&r, $link, $text, $class)); [23:23:41] *VoiceOfAll inspects his cache [23:23:52] <robchurch> That won't compile. [23:23:54] <VoiceOfAll> TimStarling: is there a way to clear any caching/memory? [23:24:13] <robchurch> (&$r) [23:24:32] <VoiceOfAll> robchurch: heh [23:25:01] <SimonMoon> thanks robchurch, thats why you never should do things in a text editor that has no code highlighting :) [23:25:16] <SimonMoon> apart from that, this should be a working hook, right? [23:25:27] <TimStarling> VoiceOfAll: what system are you using to test this? [23:27:22] <VoiceOfAll> XP, xampp, mysql 5, using phpmyadmin [23:28:56] <robchurch> haha [23:29:21] <robchurch> There's a "discussion" on the Wikimedia UK mailing list about whether QMC is in a "slightly rough area" and thus suitable for Wikimania 2008. [23:30:07] <MinuteElectron> QMC? [23:30:13] <robchurch> Queen Mary College [23:30:30] <MinuteElectron> In London? [23:30:36] <robchurch> nod [23:30:41] <MinuteElectron> oh [23:30:49] <MinuteElectron> Never gonna happen though.
