Replaced O(N^2) regexes with calls to [02:08:20] StringUtils. This should fix the breakage of ActiveAbstract extension, which was [02:08:20] calling EditPage::sectionAnchor() statically. [02:08:21] We could probably all benefit from implementing a general rule *not* to call random non-static functions statically. This style is very vulnerable to breakage on later refactoring.

[12:26:21] Raymond_ oh the issue was resolved [12:26:27] fine :) [12:26:34] there were two double redirects on protected pages [12:29:07] Shiroi_Neko: "seperate aprovals" ? [12:58:26] Duesentrieb_ yes [12:58:31] how bots are [12:58:56] it is silly for multiple bots to request aproval for redirect.py on all 700 wikis [12:59:21] im my view [12:59:52] Duesentrieb_ it is on foundation-l [13:00:28] Shiroi_Neko: well, not only the bot code has to be trusted. also the bot's owner. [13:00:39] Duesentrieb_ right [13:00:53] if he isnt trusted on one wiki he shouldnt be trusted on all others [13:01:14] one centralised dicussion rather than 700 of them seems to be the better course of action [13:01:22] most wikis wouldnt see the danger [13:01:34] since they have a community made out of half a person [13:02:12] If it is really that big a problem why not build a double redirect prevention unit into MediaWiki - it would save an uncountable number of cpu cycles.

[13:04:58] MinuteElectron ok interwiki.py and redirect.py [13:05:02] Shiroi_Neko: it is annoying for interwiki bots and things like CommonsDelinker. We could try to get people to agree on some special rule for them [13:05:13] Duesentrieb_ indeed [13:05:17] precisely what I seek [13:05:18] Shiroi_Neko: but just saying "everything approved by one community should be accepted by all others" will not cut it. [13:05:29] Duesentrieb_ not one community [13:05:34] a meta discussion perhaps [13:05:36] a centralised one [13:05:50] one as in not 700 [13:06:04] you could try to set up such a process. the reality is though: going-ons on meta etc are very obscure to most people [13:06:16] Duesentrieb_ true [13:06:18] i for one sure have no clue where such deicussions are taking place [13:06:26] Duesentrieb_ most people dont care about interwiki bots either [13:06:39] Duesentrieb_ it started yesterday on foundation-l [13:06:53] same time pathoschild is woring on drafting a bot policy on meta [13:06:55] well... there was a lot of yelling about unauthorized bots delinking images... [13:07:16] Shiroi_Neko: once we get SUL, this would become feasable, and should be talked about, yes [13:07:20] is there a possibility to link a page of the wiki directly to some external page [13:07:29] like an external redirection [13:07:31] aton`: "link directly"? [13:07:44] ah. no. [13:07:44] ra [13:08:02] is there an extension for that? [13:08:06] well, it would be relatively trivial to write an extension that does it. so probably someone has.

[17:29:47] Hello the content that appears on a Wiki page, how is it created?? I mean do I need to enable any variable to display it or does the editor when writing the page takes care of it?? [17:30:24] What sort of content are you referring to? [17:31:35] ST47: I mean the Content frame that appears on the page so that when one clicks on it the page scrolls to the desired portion where the text is. [17:31:46] The table of contents? [17:31:53] That's done automatically by mediawiki [17:32:19] If you want to force one to appear, type __TOC__ whereever you want it to be [17:34:08] ST47: You mean the editor types while he is editing wherever he wants it to be?? [17:34:28] bonii: no, not necessarily [17:34:54] ST47: Then?? [17:34:56] If the editor doesn't specify a location, it's automatically put above the first section [17:37:37] ST47: In the wiki I have set up the Contents table is not appearing. Do I have to explictly switch some variable on?? I mean how is specified if a Contents table is to appear and what is it to contain?? Can you point me to some documentation if I am asking a FAQ. [17:38:04] If you do not have one on a certain page, and want one, type __TOC__ on that page [17:38:17] note that a page must have section headers [17:39:40] ST47: Thanks. I will just try it out [17:42:48] 03evan * r25667 10/trunk/extensions/OpenID/Consumer.php: [17:42:48] Two changes to the Consumer: [17:42:48] 1) Add a cookie containing the OpenID identifier on successful login. [17:42:48] This is in anticipation of future enhancements that will auto-login if [17:42:48] the OpenID ID is set, and the user is logged into their OP. [17:42:48] 2) Change the login default from deny everyone by default to allow [17:42:52] everyone by default. [17:47:41] I did the short url thing about 20 times now in various wikis and it works everywhere. Now i setup a new one and it wont work, i am stomped. [17:48:23] hi. "invalid confirmation token" when clicking the confirm. link in email after registration, anyone an idea about that issue pls? [17:48:52] (err msg translated from german, might be different) [17:49:30] i had some trouble when upgrading mysql, probably thats the reason [17:49:33] I got a 1.10.1 working fine, now i setup a 1.11 rc and used the same .htaccess (rewrite rules) and the same settings for $wgArticlePath but i get 404 errors now. Error log of apache says "File does not exist" [17:49:53] when loggin in i get "username not found " but it's there [17:50:32] To make it neater, the whole short url page thinks i want the scripts in /w/index.php and the nice artilce paths in /wiki/Somepage which i dont. [18:00:42] whats the latest recommended method to have RC in IRC? still missing that old "php rcdumper.php" , using the UDP packet method never really got it to work..and then there were other scripts.. [18:05:30] and ehm "$wgRC2UDPPort = '555666';" seems weird on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Simple_IRC_RC_Bot , ports above 65532 ? [18:08:03] ill try getting the UDP packets with netcat again .. [18:11:31] i'm being told i want to use caching proxy instead of bytecode caching to run my wiki page. is this true? [18:18:03] PureEvilGeek: I would always use a bytecode cache. And if your wiki is very large, as in has a LOT of hits, a proxy can reduce the stress significantly. [18:18:37] only person using it will be me [18:18:55] forget proxy [18:19:15] ok so enale bytecode caching? [18:19:37] If you have one installed, yes. [18:20:11] MediaWiki can detect them as far as i know, so just let it do its own thing there. If it cant find any, dont worry, its not needed, specially not when you are the only person using the wiki [18:20:11] i don't lol thats the issue [18:20:42] SimonMoon then the snow speed of the pages loading up i should assume is another issue? [18:22:19] PureEvilGeek: If you have slow sleeds there can be a hundred different reasons for that. [18:22:25] *speeds [18:22:51] SimonMoon then i need to start looking around on the server. going to increase ram first to see if that is it since i am running low [18:22:59] But if you can live with it, sine its only you using it, i wouldnt worry. [18:23:15] 13-15 seconds for a page to load [18:23:19] with nothing on it yet [18:23:24] well a little but just a few text lines [18:23:28] Yeah, that is damn slow [18:23:52] Windows or linux server? [18:24:58] is there a file where the information placed in pages such as Mediawiki:sidebar, mediawiki:sitenotice, etc, resides? This would make it easy to use the same setup in different wikis [18:25:05] unless there's a better way [18:26:09] 03(NEW) Image captions ending with external links display inconsistently - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11239 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Images; (wikiGracenotes) [18:27:35] inkhorn: export your mediawiki namespace and import it into the other wikis. [18:27:53] hey kids [18:27:57] hey brion [18:27:57] heya brion :D [18:28:02] SimonMoon: freebsd 5.x / apache something or another / php5.0.5 (i think? deffently 5.x) [18:28:35] would that include all the articles? [18:29:08] inkhorn: not if you just export the MediaWiki namespace, as i said. [18:29:24] i think dumpBackup.php has a namespace filter. [18:29:31] it *should* have anyway :) [18:29:35] SimonMoon: issue is my ram i think. [18:29:35] oh oh [18:30:17] brion: what i always forgot to ask you: does mwdumper update link tables on import? or does it just create the pages/revisions, and you need to run rebuildLinks afterwards? [18:30:32] Duesentrieb_: mwdumper does page, revision, text tables only [18:30:53] ok... thant's what i feared. [18:31:10] brion: is it fully compatible with 1.11 then? [18:31:29] presumably [18:31:34] do i do this in special:export [18:31:35] hmkay [18:31:50] it wouldn't set rev_len field afaik, though [18:31:59] inkhorn: if you only have a few pages, yes. otherwise, use maintenance/dumpBack.php from the command line [18:32:17] cool [18:32:29] brion: would be nice to fix that, but it should not be a real problem [18:34:05] brion: while i have your attention - what do you think about replacing more uses of isAllowed by userCan, so extensions can controll more permissions? [18:34:20] no opinion [18:34:25] not familiar with it at this time [18:34:51] hm, ok. i seems like it would make sense to use userCan for all page reated stuff like delete, move, protect, etc [18:35:01] but i wasn't sure if it would break stuff. [18:35:14] it might, who knows :) [18:35:51] so... should i just be bold when i have the time?...

      item, but anchor part of url [20:43:48] A question, Why does wgPageName have underscore instead of spaces? [20:44:13] because it does [20:44:26] causality -- it's a bitch sometimes [20:44:28] TimStarling: wonder if there is any specifc reason [20:44:55] you can use wgPageName.replace(/_/g, ' ') if you want it with spaces [20:45:02] TimStarling: I know [20:45:19] you really want the long answer? [20:45:20] the question was mearly, is there a specific reason [20:45:28] yes [20:45:32] the really long [20:45:34] once upon a time, there was a piece of software called usemod [20:45:42] hehe [20:46:13] it converted spaces to underscores in titles, so that they could be files on a disk [20:46:19] ok [20:46:28] apparently it was some kind of misconception about the allowed filename characters in unix [20:46:35] haha [20:46:58] Nerds. [20:47:05] and now it's too late to "fix" it [20:47:07] ? [20:47:15] Lee (or possibly Magnus) imported this article name concept into MediaWiki and called it the "DB key" [20:47:32] which is exactly the same as the "text form" except that it has underscores instead of spaces [20:47:36] you can't have spaces in the dp key? [20:47:43] db* [20:47:45] no [20:47:52] but of course, MySQL can store spaces just fine [20:47:59] so it's not for any reason [20:48:06] anyway, there is also a title form called the URL form [20:48:19] which is the DB form, URL-encoded [20:48:43] of these three forms, only two are necessary -- the text form and the URL form [20:48:50] the DB key could just be the text form [20:49:06] ok [20:49:32] but whoever wrote that part of the software didn't realise this, so now in MediaWiki, the primary form of a title is the "DB key" form [20:49:39] then, to any api guy here, I would like to be able to use the db form directly ツ [20:49:46] it's considered canonical in some respects [20:50:07] the api shows only the text form, not the db-form [20:50:19] any API will accept either spaces or underscores as input [20:50:34] should do, anyway [20:50:41] yea, but the seach the returned data, I need to use the text form [20:51:03] right, but the *only* difference between text form and DB key form is the replacement of spaces with underscores [20:51:12] i.e. the cannonical form is the text form [20:51:15] that is absolutely concrete and charset-independent [20:51:18] see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&redirect&titles=Fady_Andraos [20:51:24] true [20:51:56] but could the wgPageName be changed to the text form? [20:52:01] no! [20:52:13] as 99% of it's use it's not the cannonical form [20:52:14] what's the point of an API if you change it every 5 seconds? [20:52:24] ? [20:52:34] you'd just break every application that uses it already [20:52:50] ? [20:53:05] aha, you mean the wgPageName [20:54:33] hmm, havn't thought about that, but why does skin and stylepath look different? [20:55:37] should be wgSkin and wgStylePath imo [20:58:12] yeah [21:03:40] anyone worked with Snoopy before? [21:07:04] an extension told me to upload it to some directory, then alter the php file of the extension so that i "Specify the correct path for the include directive for the Snoopy class." [21:07:19] jargon aside i assume this means i just point to the url of the directory [21:08:33] ex: include "http://domain.org/Snoopy-1.2.3/Snoopy.class.php"; [21:09:17] no [21:09:41] include( 'file/path/to/the/dir/inside/your/server/Snoopy-1.2.3/Sno... [21:10:04] hmm [21:10:43] it's basically the same except without "http:/" [21:10:55] i assume [21:11:02] based on my ftp client [21:11:12] i feel like such a jerk asking these questions [21:15:49] so url and path cannot be used interchangably [21:16:10] i'm leardning! [21:19:08] does mediawiki sidebar allow html? [21:19:29] no [21:19:49] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Navigation_bar [21:24:16] Hmm, the librsvg SVG renderer requires a boatload of GNOME dependencies, batik requires a boatload of Java dependencies; the ImageMagick SVG renderer is somewhat lacking.

[23:40:58] "If this text corresponds to the name of an interface message (an existing page of that title in the MediaWiki namespace), then the text of that page is used as a label; otherwise, the header title is used as-is." [23:42:14] feltipen: An "interface message" is any page in the MediaWiki namespace (ie, pages whose titles start with "MediaWiki:"). [23:42:46] so when it says that the text of that page is used as a label, if the text is 10 words long, the header will be as long?
