[00:00:35] BraydenP: a lot of categories. look at the bottom of the page [00:00:45] i would say, that page has way too many categories... [00:01:14] ah, you can ignore the "All articles with unsourced statements" cruft [00:01:52] "Supermarkets of the United Kingdom" is one of the more sane categories i guess [00:02:42] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Export [00:02:44] Not working [00:03:21] works fine for me [00:08:12] gn8 [00:29:16] hey [00:29:25] how do you enable CSS in mediawiki [00:29:33] or test that it is enabled [00:30:01] http://theplaz.com/wiki/index.php?title=ThePlaz.com's_Dropdowns_for_MediaWiki I am trying to get this to work [00:30:26] is anyone here [00:34:48] Hello [00:34:51] anyone here [00:35:15] what do you mean by "enable CSS in mediawiki"? [00:35:40] so you can use CSS in mediawiki [00:35:51] mediawiki uses CSS heavily [00:36:13] okay then if you go to that link that I posted [00:36:47] it says to paste css code in Mediawiki:Common.css I did and it doesn't work [00:37:05] thanks for help alxndr [00:37:12] *helping [00:37:21] try refreshing, try action=purge [00:38:17] where do I put that [00:42:35] part of the url, like "title=Something&action=purge" or there might be a "refresh" link on the article [00:43:19] thanks it is working put appearing over the text on main page [00:43:31] do you know of a way to fix it [00:44:18] don't know what you're trying to say [00:45:34] so the Main Page text is underneath the dropdown menu [00:46:27] like the ttile [00:46:43] looks like that's what it's supposed to do [00:47:48] I mean the first boxes [00:47:52] hey [00:47:55] sup :) [00:48:12] anyone here ever set up Memcached on their wiki? [00:50:20] tough crowd. [00:50:23] hi there.. there is any free personal wiki mediawiki based around? (I prefer without ADS) [00:50:44] Sean_Colombo, I only set up APC. [00:50:53] what's APC? [00:50:57] Lin, I don't know, possibly. [00:51:06] Wikia will let you set up a MediaWiki, but I don't know if you can have a private one [00:51:14] Sean_Colombo, Alternative PHP Cache. You may as well use that for caching instead of Memcached if you only have one server. [00:51:22] Sean_Colombo, Wikia doesn't give you private ones. [00:51:27] bummer [00:51:29] I have two servers right now [00:51:40] web front-end and a db server [00:51:51] As long as you only have one Web server, APC should work. [00:51:57] w0rd [00:52:03] You want APC anyway (or eAccelerator or Xcache) to do opcode caching. [00:52:16] All of them can optionally also be used as general memory caches, like Memcached. [00:52:19] cool, I'll look into it [00:52:37] i actually just set up memcached already, I was looking to see if anyone had any insight as to how much memory to give it [00:53:23] Experiment. It only needs to be as much as MediaWiki (and/or other apps) use. [00:53:35] You do want an opcode cache, though, even if you don't use it for a memory cache. [00:53:42] Speeds up PHP by a factor of several times. [00:54:05] nice [00:54:20] is APC > eAccel/Xcache or are they all about the same? [00:54:44] APC is written by the PHP devs, and will probably be built into PHP 6. I haven't had any problems with it. [00:54:53] s/probably // [00:55:15] nice [00:55:44] i hadn't heard anything about PHP 6 yet... when is the planned/estimated release date? [00:56:51] with mediawiki 1.11.0, I had to comment out $wgRequest->interpolateTitle(); in includes/Setup.php to get urls like index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit to work with $wgScriptPath = ""; and $wgArticlePath = "/$1"; Is this a known bug/problem/feature? [00:57:28] Sean_Colombo, I dunno, I suppose a couple of years. Not sure. [00:58:16] pabs3, $wgScriptPath = ""; ? How's that supposed to work? [00:58:23] Hmm, I guess it just means /. [00:58:47] Weird setup. [00:58:59] yep. I'm upgrading http://wiki.synfig.org - it worked in the old version [00:59:08] In any case, it's not recommended to have $wgArticlePath = "/$1". "/wiki/$1" or somesuch is preferred. [00:59:11] and it looks like 1.10 would work too [00:59:20] Although /$1 *mostly* works. [01:00:26] Simetrical: http://tango.freedesktop.org looks like it uses the same setup as us [01:01:31] Simetrical: any idea what interpolateTitle is supposed to do? [01:01:40] Not offhand. [01:02:08] Ah, I see. [01:03:13] It looks like a Very Bad Idea to comment it out. [01:03:25] Although I only glanced it over, so I don't know what went wrong. [01:04:33] IIRC, the first call to extractTitle returns 'index.php' instead of 'Main_Page' for index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit [01:10:45] Hello I am on the last step of installing the math equation function in wiki, but I need to install these: Rasterization is done via LaTeX, dvipng. These need [01:10:45] to be installed and in the PATH: latex, dvipng [01:11:00] does anyone know where/how I can install these? [01:15:31] its damn hard find a free media wiki farm with private support. I will start one in my own computer :-( [01:16:52] wikidot is fine.. but has a weird (not mediawiki) sintax [01:16:58] syntax [01:30:49] guess I'll use 1.10.2 then [01:35:24] does anyone know if there is a WSYIWYG editor in the current version of MediaWiki? [01:35:33] (or if they're still working on it?) [01:39:35] Sean_Colombo, no and no. Proper WYSIWYG is not practical with current MediaWiki markup. [01:39:42] It's effectively impossible to parse on the client computer. [01:40:15] So it would only work with high latency and server load, sending every change to the server to be parsed. [01:40:38] Parsing an average page takes ~800 ms last I heard, too, which becomes doubly ridiculous when transit time is added. [01:41:14] A prerequisite to a robust WYSIWYG editor is a sufficiently simple markup that it can be efficiently implemented on the client in JavaScript, and that's a major architectural change that seriously breaks reverse compatibility. [01:58:21] how can I get these [edit] buttons to work? http://is.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikivitnun:Sandkassinn [03:34:58] just a quick question (which I imagine is a FAQ but still can't find an answer) why is Wikipedia not in the default interwiki links ? [03:35:19] Are there default interwiki links? [03:35:29] Simetrical, many [03:35:34] If so, I suppose they're just to mediawiki.org, and Meta for historical reasons. [03:35:35] Hmm. [03:36:52] Simetrical, nope.. there's quite a few to quite varied wikis [03:36:58] but no wikipedia [03:37:03] That is kind of odd. [03:38:29] in the talk page there are questions about those defaults dating back to 2006 [03:40:51] i just manually added wikipedia, so now there are 175 interwiki namespaces.. and the only one I've added is wikipedia [03:41:14] anyway, it's no big deal.. just a curiosity [03:52:24] 03(NEW) Template in nickname in preferences gets expanded, SUBST: - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: User preferences; (ironiridis) [03:53:14] 03(mod) Template in nickname in preferences gets expanded, SUBST: - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414 (10ironiridis) [03:53:44] 03(NEW) __EDITPARENTSECTION__ - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11415 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: User interface; (wikt.3.connelm) [04:07:24] 03(mod) __EDITPARENTSECTION__ - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11415 (10ariel) [04:44:46] 03(mod) __EDITPARENTSECTION__ - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11415 +comment (10dmcdevit) [05:12:36] 03(mod) __EDITPARENTSECTION__ - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11415 +comment (10steinninn) [05:58:06] 03(NEW) Upload window bigger - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11416 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: Special pages; (steinninn) [06:13:04] how do I get $wgAllowExternalImages to work, apart from doing the logical thing (setting it to true)?

MySQL returned error "1054: Unknown column 'user_newpass_time' in 'field list' (localhost)". [10:01:37] could the update script think that the db is updated, when in fact it isn't? [10:01:49] if so, how do i force an update? [10:05:06] you shouldn't need to [10:05:15] it adds the field user_newpass_time if it doesn't exist. [10:07:20] so any clues about why it isn't? there are no errors reported when i run the update script [10:10:08] does the update script have proper permissions to modify the table schema? [10:11:15] how do i tell? (no permission errors are reported) [10:11:55] have you updated the update script from svn? [10:12:29] i had a thought: i'll check that the update script is actually updating the right database (I have several sites and use different table prefixes for the different sites).

[10:53:02] ah no, I see it's shareware [10:55:55] anyone got an answer? I have several sites all using the same wikidb, but with different table prefixes. when i run update.php for one site, the output produced shows table names that don't include the prefix, and the update doesn't seem to be done. Is this to be expected? [10:57:04] yes. [10:57:37] $wgDBprefix is applied another way. [10:59:00] so how do i update this site? [10:59:56] run it for each site. [11:00:11] (in the maintenance/ directory of each site) [11:01:30] Werdna: yes. but we should be getting a free license [11:02:04] flyingparchment: I'm not on the author list [11:02:32] oh I see, still scanning [11:06:24] but that is just what i am doing! My sites are set up using the recipe at http://www.steverumberg.com/wiki/index.php/WikiHelp so i have a linked, shared maintenance directory. Should I create a new copy for each site? [11:07:15] flyingparchment: what's infra.ts.wm.org? [11:18:51] 03huji * r25982 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesFa.php: [11:20:18] scs1ng: well, I would imagine that's your problem [11:22:37] so just copy /maintenance and its sub-directories from the source directory to the site directory for each wiki? I'm still not clear how the update script uses the table prefix - it doesn't seem to pay any attention to the prefix, looking at the source code. [11:23:09] scs1ng: read the maintenance/archives/patch-*.sql - they all have /*$wgDBprefix*/ in them, which gets substituted for the DB prefix. [11:24:29] anyway, the issue is here: $IP = realpath( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/..' ); [maintenance/commandLine.inc]. That guide suggests you link your maintenance directories with symbolic links, which are dereferenced by realpath to point to the same directory. [11:24:43] realpath() expands all symbolic links and resolves references to '/./', '/../' and extra '/' characters in the input path. and return the canonicalized absolute pathname. [11:25:02] Werdna: infra.ts.wm.org is a toolserver subdomain for "extra stuff", i.e. not user webspace or database. it's currently used for the new/experimental toolserve ug tracker and repository browser [11:25:16] nifty. [11:26:11] ok, so now we just have to discover why this is not working! [11:26:36] scs1ng: I told you why it isn't - it's using the same LocalSettings.php for all of them. [11:27:37] if a have changed a language file, is there a tool to easily update all entries in MediaWiki: namespace? [11:28:03] scs1ng: when running maintenance scripts, you have to somehow make sure they pick up the right config (AdminSettings.php and LocalSettings.php) for the respective wiki. if realpath is used internally, and you have set up individual wikis using symblinks, it will not work automatically because for all wikis, it will find the config located relative to the *real* path, not the "linked" path. [11:28:23] sorry; i missed that. apologies if i am being slow. [11:28:27] scs1ng: i think you can use --config=somepath (or some such) to specify what config to use [11:28:33] Aviator not that I know of. However, if the changes you did are "corrections", it is better to let them be added to MediaWiki code [11:29:11] Hojjat: I'm planning to do so. :) [11:29:21] Good idea [11:29:27] so the workaround might be to copy siteA/LocalSettings.php to source/, temproaruly, do the update, and then remove the copied localSettings.php? [11:29:37] If you know how to create a patch, just send the patch to bugzilla. Otherwise, just send a textfile or something [11:29:43] yes, it's called 'DELETE FROM page WHERE page_namespace=NS_MEDIAWIKI' [11:29:44] ;) [11:29:51] Aviator: update? in recent versions of mediawiki (>= 1.10, i think), message that where not changed explicitly will always be takn from the language files. for older versions, you can use maintenance/rebuildMessages.php (but you will lose all custom messages) [11:30:23] Werdna: that would leave a lot of orphaned revision entries... [11:31:04] Duesentrieb: I know, but I was being facetious, and I couldn't be bothered to write the accompanying DELETE FROM revision query, which is more complex [11:31:11] Duesentrieb: thanks [11:31:15] Duesentrieb: I'll see what happens with --config Is the 'somepath' the path to my LocalSetiings.php, or just to the directory in which it is ? [11:31:31] DELETE FROM revision WHERE (SELECT page_namespace FROM page WHERE page_id=rev_page)=NS_MEDIAWIKI; [11:31:34] ;) [11:31:37] scs1ng: not sure. i think it's LocalSettings.php [11:31:56] i'll give it a go. Many thanks [11:32:05] Werdna: i think you could just delete from a join [11:32:14] meh. [11:32:16] Werdna: but i was just nitpicking [11:32:18] that would involve rtfming [11:32:23] :P [11:33:18] Duesentrieb: I don't find such script :( [11:34:24] if ( isset( $options['conf'] ) ) { [11:34:24] $settingsFile = $options['conf']; [11:34:24] } else { [11:34:24] $settingsFile = "$IP/LocalSettings.php"; [11:34:26] } [11:34:37] Aviator: i think it no longer exists in versions of mediawiki that no longer copy all messages into the namespace. [11:34:38] eevidently, it should be the path to LocalSettings.php [11:34:50] Aviator: i.e. if it's not there, you shouldn't need it. [11:35:28] Werdna, scs1ng: ah, so it's --conf, not --config [11:35:51] apparently so [11:36:39] php update.php --config /path/to/LocalSettings.php doesn't appear to do anything different from running it without the --config; I assume that the option is not being seen by the script [11:36:52] I'll try --conf then [11:37:33] you can also try --conf=/path instead of --conf /path [11:38:26] Duesentrieb: we have a message named "Contris". Shouldn't that be "Contribs"? [11:38:29] it works!! at least it is producing updating messages... [11:39:06] I meant, "mycontris" and "mycontribs" [11:39:27] yes, it is supposed to be = [11:39:31] $bits = explode( '=', $option, 2 ); [11:40:01] Werdan was that to me, or to scs1ng? [11:40:16] Hojjat: who is "we"? and where exactly is that name used, and as what? [11:40:37] scs1ng. [11:40:44] Werdna: both forms are supported, if config is defined to be a "greedy" paramter. [11:40:57] not sure if it is set up for that. it *should*... [11:41:09] Duesentrieb: In the Messages files, we have three entries with "mycontris" in them. I thought if "mycontribs" would have been better... nothing important indeed [11:41:25] Hojjat: looks like a typo to me. [11:41:35] Hojjat: is that actually being used? [11:41:43] Duesentrieb yes [11:42:03] 'mycontris' => 'My contributions', [11:42:09] ah, well. i found some NTLM workaround/solutions, but perhaps i better get in contact with the ldap-auth-extension author [11:42:11] 'accesskey-pt-mycontris' => 'y', # don't translate or duplicate this message to other languages [11:42:16] 'tooltip-pt-mycontris' => 'List of my contributions', [11:42:36] all other instances of the same word, are "contribs" with "b" [11:42:39] Hojjat: yea, i see. well, it's not *wrong* but it does look odd. the common abriviation is "contribs". [11:42:50] 'contribsub2' => 'For $1 ($2)','nocontribs' => 'No changes were found matching these criteria.', [11:42:51] it kind of reads like it was named by a German :) [11:42:57] Duesentrieb: Forgot to tell: every message in my MediaWiki namespace has been changed explicitly [11:43:18] Duesentrieb: So you think it is not worth being changed, right? [11:43:27] Aviator: and now you have edited the language file? well, then you have two conficting sets of messages, right? [11:43:37] so, how would you expect a tool to merge them? [11:43:42] Duesentrieb: yes [11:44:03] Duesentrieb:because I can easily make a patch the fixes all of them, both in messages and in the code [11:44:54] Duesentrieb: I don't want to merge, just copy all messages from the file into the database, or perhaps reset the database if it can be done [11:44:56] Hojjat: extensions might be using it too... well, you can make a pach, but i'm not sure it makes all that much sense to mess with the names if there's nothing really broken. [11:45:18] Aviator: sure. delete the pages in the mediawiki namespace. then the wiki will use the language file. [11:45:30] Duesentrieb: well, there are messages which are getting renamed every now and then. [11:45:45] Aviator: maintenance/deleteDefaultMessages.php exists for that - though i'm not sure how it decides what isa "default" message. [11:45:59] 'cantcreateaccounttext' was changed to 'cantcreateaccount-text' recently! [11:46:01] Hojjat: do not change message names without need. you would break all localizations [11:46:03] Hojjat: *shrug* - submit a patch and see. [11:46:27] Hojjat: oh yes, Raymond_ is right: any wiki using a cusom text for that will hate you. [11:46:28] Duesentrieb: Oh I didn't mean that! I agree with you, indeed [11:46:32] didn't even think about that [11:46:40] :) [11:46:47] okay, don't worry [11:46:53] *Raymond_ was stabbed in the past for these things :( [11:46:58] hehe [11:47:11] *Hojjat taps Raymond_'s shoulder [11:50:54] Hojjat is stabble now with commit access :P [11:51:15] stabble means?

I just updated the page and through some kind of miracle the "people" part in the link turned to blue [18:34:50] so, problem solved somehow [18:35:11] hmm, why do give a category label [18:35:24] if its not supposed to be a link but actually put that page into the category [18:35:30] why do you do that [18:35:44] I was trying to put it into a category [18:36:26] whats the |Nelson part for [18:36:38] if i do that it simply puts it into category:people [18:36:43] sort key [18:36:43] and Nelson is not being shown [18:36:45] to put it under the N in the people category [18:36:48] ah.. [18:36:56] yes flyingparchment [18:37:11] interesting [18:37:45] it just makes it quicker to display the category pages? [18:38:15] Doos: putting things in a category doesn't create the category page. you have to also make the page [18:38:22] mutante, it makes sure that the Nelson page is put under the N [18:39:18] Doos: i was under the impression that mediawiki also does that without having to specify a sort key [18:39:32] mutante: not if the page title doesn't begin with N [18:39:53] yes flyingparchment, I did that when I created a page for other people .. somehow it did show the Nelson page in the category but the link to the category remained in red (as if it wasn't created) [18:40:50] where is the api folks when you need 'em [18:41:07] watching South Park probably [18:41:07] 03siebrand * r26008 10/trunk/extensions/ (14 files in 13 dirs): [18:41:07] Localisation updates from Betawiki.

[19:46:04] hello, i've read all the documentation about backing up my local wiki, but something is not clear... how do i check if my database is using a "problematic" encoding, and how do i back it up with phpmyadmin, if it's "problematic"? [19:46:22] blah3000: it almost certainly is. the only solution i'm aware of it, don't use phpmyadmin. [19:47:11] flyingparchment: how do i check if it definitely is? and how do i do it without phpmyadmin? [19:47:28] *how do i back it up without phpmyadmin, i mean [19:47:31] so...any thoughts about my biography question? [19:48:04] so, the google sitemap extension has a notice that it's deprecated and says to use maintenance/generateSitemap.php instead.. I can find the file easily enough, but no docs on how to use it. Any suggestions ? [19:49:00] Charles: i told you, it's not required [19:49:09] Charles, mediawiki doesn't enforce a bio by default.. [19:49:23] people should stop asking questions and then quitting [19:49:51] Charles, you've got an extension or something else weird that's installed [19:50:17] ok, i do have ConfirmAccount installed [19:50:21] i guess that might be doing it [19:50:27] ivarv: you just run it, and then upload the xmls to google [19:51:55] thanks for the tip [19:53:17] 03(mod) Changing the text when a wiki does not exist - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11125 +comment (10brion) [19:53:38] rainman-sr, ok, I ran it.. so now I have a bunch of gzipped xml and an an index file [19:53:58] rainman-sr, but sitemaps aren't jsut for google..

But an html form is useless without a back end that receives the data and does something with it. [21:36:19] do you know what extension [21:36:36] well I am just going to move text from one page to the other [21:36:46] SimpleForms, HTMLets, and probably others [21:36:58] well, something has to do the moving, right? [21:37:05] that would be the back-end... [21:37:17] yeah we are doing that in php code [21:37:44] Dave: then you could/should write an extension to generate the appropriate input form [21:38:30] I am trying to use krass calendar extension [21:38:55] Dave: a calendar is a lot more complex than a simple choice box... [21:39:00] have you read http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_Extensions ? [21:39:16] or more generally, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual%3AExtensions ? [21:39:25] I want it look for user and be able set todo list [21:39:46] is there a possibility to include a wiki apge into an other one? [21:40:11] Scooters|busy: yes. it's called templates. per default you'd use pages in the Template namespace, but you can indeed use any page [21:40:31] Dave: well, it's php... fins a good place to hook in, and go ahead. [21:41:01] neither of those extension say they support that [21:41:10] ok, tnx Duesentrieb i will try if i can make my page [21:41:11] Scooters|busy: {{foo}} includes Template:Foo, {{Project:Foo}} includes Project:Foo, and {{:Foo}} includes Foo. [21:41:21] Dave: write your own. [21:41:31] for html dropdown boxs [21:41:49] tnx Duesentrieb [21:42:05] Dave: if that would be all you need, yes. but you need a lot more logic, right? so, make it an extension. [21:42:24] I will but I don't want to reinvent the wheel [21:43:22] Dave: "look for user and be able set todo list" is hardly the wheel... well, i don't know what you really mean by that, but anyhow. [21:43:53] I mean stuff that is already written I want to utilize [21:44:36] i know. [21:44:51] hmm Duesentrieb, i think your suggestion doesnt work on what i want, i have a few pages (different languages) with things to do lists. Now i want to make an overview page with all TTDlists in it [21:45:03] Dave: i don'Ät understand exactly what it is you want to do. it sounds quite specific. so, find a specific extension that does exactly that, or write your own. [21:45:11] i write in the new page i created {{:TTDL_%28FR%29}} [21:45:21] but it doesnt show the page, just the code [21:45:55] that would be TTDL_(FR), right? [21:45:59] yes [21:46:04] try that [21:46:18] also... uh, just the code? with a link perhaps? [21:46:28] o shit, it works, tnx alot m8 [21:52:57] I know but I don't want to write a extension that does dropdown boxes [21:53:04] jkwhen there is one that does it [21:56:23] Dave: i already told you two that can do it.
