[00:00:12] you should be able to export them individually or as a list [00:00:51] [ace]an[9el]: if you want them all, you will have to use the command line improt/export tools [00:01:14] i.e. dumpBackup.php and importDump.php, or mwdumper [00:03:36] Duesentrieb: are the default messages exported too, now that they aren't inizialized any more in the MW namespace? [00:03:53] BrokenArrow: probably not [00:03:57] (i would call that a feature) [00:04:18] (of course, but it depends what [ace]an[9el] needs) [00:11:14] Folks, are there any special restrictions on mediawiki updates if one makes a big leap from verion 1.6.9 to 1.11? [00:11:48] maning: can I do it right away, or should I install 1.7, 1.8 etc. first? [00:12:09] candeias: no big schema changes, the updater should cope. backup first [00:12:25] ! [00:12:50] allright. Thanks (backing up as we speak; downloading the DB) [00:12:57] can someone explain why this would happen? http://prishels.net/buttonsgone.png [00:13:03] beware charset issues with mysqldump [00:13:09] make an xml dump for good measure [00:13:13] !backup [00:13:13] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki [00:13:16] Duesentrieb: feel free to disagree with me anytime ) [00:13:42] naw, it should work [00:14:03] Charitwo: deleted buttons, timeout, adblocked? [00:14:15] Hello! can anyone tell me how I can get a snapshot of wikipedia with images? The download page says that they're not available anymore [00:14:25] nah, it's been that way for a couple days, definitely not adblocked [00:15:36] StinkyWinky: the problem is that downloading ~90GB simply doesn't work. [00:15:48] are those charset issues also relevant when using phpmyadmin? [00:15:58] candeias: even more so, yes [00:16:15] (two more layers to indtroduce confusion) [00:16:27] Duesentrieb why not? Ive just downloaded 70GB worth of simpsons episodes :o) [00:16:39] with http? [00:16:43] a torrent might work [00:17:23] Duesentrieb, the snapshots page says that images arent even available through torrent now. [00:17:24] there are also licensing issues with image dumps - the images can't really be distributed without the accompanying license info. [00:17:31] and the huge dumps cause technical issues. [00:17:39] i dunno - there simply arn't any atm. [00:17:59] StinkyWinky: afaik, there are no official torrents at all [00:18:07] or are there now? [00:18:36] duesentrieb, is there another way to get a snapshot of the images? like using a crawler (set to wikipedias listed limits) for just the images? [00:19:08] Duesentrieb: on #wikitech-l there's been some discussino lately - nothing WMF-endorsed, I think, but you should get some leads from there if you need to [00:19:30] <[ace]an[9el]> Duesentrieb: thanks I'll try that [00:20:06] StinkyWinky: no good way, no. the best i can think of is using a local cache: load once, on demand, then cache locally. [00:20:07] (ehr, mailing list, obviously, not channel): http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/ [00:20:44] BrokenArrow: there has been discussion about this every coupld of months for the last two years, i think :) [00:34:58] 03(mod) E-mail should have more available options - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11835 (10robchur) [01:50:18] hey, i came here earlier for some help which i figured out, but now after installing mediawiki it's not generating localsettings.php [01:50:43] any ideas? [01:54:05] Anyone here familar with how the wiki pages are processed? I have a question about handling of templates and not sure if it is meant to be done in that manner or not. Details in my next lines .... [01:54:35] Problem is on a normal wiki page, if there is two lines following each other, they are processed and showed as a single paragraph. [01:54:58] But with a template, that seems to fall down, not within the template, but after the template has been inserted. [01:55:34] Let say have a template that has "this is some template text, followed by some noinclude stuff [01:55:51] [[Category:something]] [01:55:53] " [01:56:24] I would then expect if you inserted that template within a page, there would not be a blank line / paragraph spaced placed after it. But it does. [01:56:44] Is it meant to do that? Or is it not osmething that has been consdiered? [01:58:49] You need to make sure there are no blank lines at the beginning or end of the template, generally. [02:01:05] Yes, did make sure of that. There are no blank lines at the start, between the text and the noinclude tags. [02:01:38] So it goes like "this is some text[[Category:something]]"? Or with an extra line break there? [02:01:52] Line breaks immediately before things like will be honored. [02:01:57] After, too. [02:02:04] Ahh, OK, that is what I was checking. [02:02:12] If you don't want the line break included, it needs to be inside as well. [02:02:22] Yes, I have the noinclude on a new line, makes it easier to read the template page text when editing./ [02:02:37] Oh well. :) [02:02:43] Ahh, OK, that is a good solution. [02:02:48] Thanks Sim, much appreciated. [02:05:39] Wohooo [02:05:43] That does the job :-) [02:06:00] And doesn't mess the template up too much. [04:08:04] TimStarling: I'm about to commit my EditPage patch; this isn't a bad time is it? [04:08:20] no, go ahead [04:08:44] cool, thanks. [04:08:56] 03david * r27091 10/trunk/phase3/includes/EditPage.php: Split mTitle into uiTitle and dbTitle; this is explained at the top of EditPage.php. [04:54:48] Question: Is Special:Mypage parsed before ?example= url params are? [04:55:18] Is that the reason example.com?title=Special:Mypage?action=edit doesn't work...

[06:09:26] hi guys [06:09:46] dpy: can you please help me [06:09:58] depends [06:10:22] I know more about the mediawiki code than about its usage or administration [06:10:31] I need to install Mediawiki on RHEL [06:10:34] or centos [06:10:59] so? [06:11:05] i am more a windows person and i am trying to use yum install mediawiki [06:11:14] it comes up with nothing to do [06:11:35] is there a instruction or something like that i can follow please [06:11:54] the one on media wiki website is too old [06:12:09] sakthi: I think you should first familiarize with linux and your particular distribution. [06:12:57] sakthi: once you get the hang of it, installation is fairly straightforward. [06:13:14] My boss is asking me to do it today [06:13:21] ah [06:13:24] the boss [06:13:25] I am fairly familiar with redhat [06:13:33] what he meant was: he wants it yesterday [06:14:20] Well he wants it going for tomorrow [06:14:26] up and going i mean [06:14:53] So i have 3 hours to work on this + i also have to install OTRS [06:18:42] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation <-- looks okay [06:18:59] nope it doesn't [06:20:12] http://wikihr.net/MediaWiki [06:20:48] Unless you have a specific question/problem, no one here will hold your hand through and install [06:21:49] yes, I think this is a case of, I don't want to do it, do it for me please. [06:22:27] lol [06:24:05] heh cool, that wikihr.net [06:24:42] yeah, I heard about it on wikitech-l [06:26:26] but if sakthi's job for today is to set up mediawiki (easy enough), and he doesn't want to do it, then he'd better find another job, I guess... [06:27:42] I can help, of course. [06:28:05] Werdna: is your name on the list?

[07:06:10] At the moment we have confirmEdit, which is great for stopping links being [07:06:10] automatically inserted, and stopping spammers from automatically creating [07:06:10] accounts, but turning it on for every edit it bit too high a barrier. And we [07:06:14] have $wgEnableSorbs, which is great for stopping open proxies.

Anyone arround? [07:12:40] Nikerabbit can you help please?
