[05:18:40] AaronSchulz? [05:19:13] wo0t? [05:19:19] any idea? [05:20:03] you mean the obvious answer "to get the rev ID" or the "what it is used for" answer? ;) [05:20:54] it is causing me trouble, it needs to justify its existence or get chopped into little bits [05:20:57] so what is it used for? [05:21:10] the test wiki has it on the main page, i believe [05:21:44] nvm, i'm thinking of currentversion [05:22:29] Erm...Is it something I could hack into fixing Atom/RSS feeds? [05:23:06] TimStarling: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Env&action=edit ;) [05:23:32] Just something one of my users complained about. The URL for the Recent Changes feeds points to the page, rather than the diff or revision leading to the feed event. [05:23:40] only think I can find [05:24:10] which is really just a manual [05:24:56] when it was added, it says "useful for proper citation" [05:25:31] http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1739 [05:26:02] ok, it can get the axe then [05:26:36] is it really that annoying to implement? [05:26:59] were you here when I was talking about multiple parses on save? [05:27:13] we parse the whole article text once for SpamBlacklist, and twice for ConfirmEdit [05:27:30] then once again post-save for the link updates and parser cache [05:27:35] 03(NEW) Moving pages to their own redirects should be permitted - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11948 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Redirects; (phi1ipp) [05:27:42] ugh :s [05:27:46] this makes saving very very slow [05:27:59] *AaronSchulz looks at flaggedrevs again [05:28:05] now, fundamentally, there is no revision ID before the EditFilter extensions run [05:28:33] wiki gives china too much control over access, as do all pages. all china traffic should be redirected to informational pages about tiananmen [05:28:36] but the EditFilter extensions need the parse [05:28:48] laowai: ... [05:29:09] so I want to do a single parse for the first EditFilter extension that needs it, then reuse that parse post-update [05:29:38] the only way to do that and still have {{REVISIONID}} would be to somehow put a placeholder into the parser output and replace it once the revision ID is known [05:29:58] it would be like a reverse firewall. it would be amazing [05:30:08] but to do that and respect {{REVISIONID}}, and to produce sensible output when the post-parse replacer is not called, is no simple thing [05:30:29] so if it's no big deal, I'd rather kill it [05:30:54] and yes, I'm aware FlaggedRevs uses $parser->mRevisionId for all sorts of odd purposes [05:31:05] it'll have to be fixed to use a saner data flow [05:31:25] actually I was just worried about the extra parse layer for stable pages [05:32:41] hmm, but if mRevisionId is getting the axe... [05:32:45] not sure what to use instead [05:34:01] obviously you'll have to add something for-purpose instead of misusing an effectively private member variable of an unrelated object [05:34:30] or I could just set it [05:34:44] that would bridge the compatibility gap [05:35:00] hmmm [05:35:09] not before parse though, when do you need it in FlaggedRevs? [05:35:41] lets see, for the review form, after parse, before output [05:36:05] for the parser hooks, as revisions for templates/images are fetched [05:36:11] which is preparse I think [05:36:40] well, it's during parse [05:37:25] what exactly do you use it for during parse? [05:39:09] if the user is viewing a stable version of a page, the hooks cause select which images/template rev IDs to use. These correspond to the the stable revision's ID. So if rev X is stable. When a template for it is about to be looked up, it checks the flaggedtemplate table for rev X, for that that template, and gets the template rev ID [05:39:46] *hooks select [05:40:19] 03straussd * r27405 10/branches/fundcore/: Create branch subdirectory for fundcore [05:40:28] 03straussd * r27406 10/branches/fundcore/1.0/: Branch from December 2006 FundCORE [05:41:04] 03(NEW) Create Breton Wikiquote - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11949 normal; normal; Wikimedia: Site requests; (pathoschild) [05:41:32] 03straussd * r27407 10/trunk/fundcore/ (10 files in 2 dirs): Remove FundCORE 1.0 from trunk [05:45:22] TimStarling: meh, the ID is always known before hand when the flaggedrevs parsing stuff is called [05:45:49] so it's not a problem then [05:46:04] I could just change some stuff a little [05:49:51] 03straussd * r27408 10/trunk/fundcore/ (185 files in 25 dirs): October 2007 FundCORE [05:50:48] so I could keep {{REVISIONID}}, but it would only work for old and stable revision views [05:50:57] it wouldn't work for current revision views [05:52:42] $outputText = $wgParser->preprocess( $text, $title, $options, $id ); [05:52:47] $parserOut = $wgParser->parse( $text, $title, $options, true, true, $id ); [05:53:25] $id is just plopped right in from there [05:54:17] ok [05:55:18] this is good, it means I don't have to change Parser.php, which is in pieces in my working copy at the moment [05:55:21] I don't know why I still have $id=NULL in the function calls [05:55:41] it's always given, I'll have to update that whenever my next commit comes [06:01:14] TimStarling: so when you kill some parse redundancy, do you expect a huge performance boost?

[12:26:45] no it won't [12:26:50] mediawiki will create new dirs [12:26:58] and they will likely have the wrong permission. [12:27:04] that sucks [12:27:07] or is it smart and sets the same permissions the parent dir has? [12:27:13] not sure [12:27:14] that would actually be reasonable [12:27:21] not either. try it :) [12:27:36] there are also the sticky bits... they do some special magic for dirs. not sure what exactly :) [12:32:08] oh well [12:32:10] gnight all [13:42:55] 03(NEW) Make getEditToolbar() in includes/EditPage.php static - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11951 15enhancement; low; MediaWiki: General/Unknown; (bleher) [13:45:57] 03(mod) FileCache incorrectly caches multipage image pages - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9558 +need-review +patch (10bleher) [13:54:22] Hello [14:12:27] Hi all, anyone able to explain why mediawiki cannot see files in the require_once() when the leading "./" is on the filename? This is on IIS6. [14:13:45] 03(NEW) DatabasePostgres.php does not quote all schema names - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11952 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Database; (jh) [14:18:24] sdousley|work: what do you mean "can't see"? [14:18:36] does it give a file not found error? [14:20:12] TimStarling: yes, it says: "Warning: require_once(./includes/WebStart.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in W:\_Websites_host-it\wiki.host-it.co.uk\index.php on line 38" [14:20:30] if i take out the "./" in the require_once() it then works and errors on the next require_once [14:22:44] I have looked on the bugtacker, and found a change to make in UtfNormalUtil.php, but that change is already made [14:26:29] in theory the current directory should be set to the directory of the entry script [14:26:49] but maybe there's a configuration setting in IIS to turn that feature off or something [14:27:09] you could put this at the top of all relevant entry points (such as index.php): [14:27:15] chdir(dirname(__FILE__)); [14:27:22] How do I insert active php code into a mediawiki article? [14:27:37] SlimG: you don't. that would be very dangerous. [14:27:47] find a zero-day arbitrary code execution exploit [14:27:54] :P [14:28:07] TimStarling: yeh, i had thought about that, but there' no difference i can see betwen the installs of php and IIS on the 2 servers, and one works no problems, the other doesn't! [14:28:30] sdousley|work: so, *something* has to be different. [14:28:34] It's not how i have copied it between the 2 cos i have copied it to a linux server to test the migration, and it worked no problems (database is on a seperate server) [14:28:43] Duesentrieb_: that's what i guessed, but it's working out what! [14:28:46] well, you could work out what's different, or you could try my suggested workaround [14:28:54] just change the current directory on entry [14:29:09] I'd rather fix it properly than work around, since this problem will surely occur on anything that does that/. [14:29:49] maybe you should try an IIS support channel then [14:29:51] The problem i think is that php on IIS on the server that doesn't work returns "C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv" from echo getcwd() not the directory the files are listed in. [14:30:04] Duesentrieb_: well then, howto dynamically insert the content of a external page into a mediawiki each time that page is loaded? [14:30:18] and the server it works in, shows the folder the files are in rather than that directory [14:32:06] SlimG: write an extension to do it. or use an existing one, like HTMLets. or use an extension that allows you to insert iframes [14:33:40] SlimG: note that inlining the code of an external page into your wiki is dangerous, if you don't control that external page. any javascript code on that page would be executed in "your" context, allowing cookie theft, etc [14:34:16] Duesentrieb_: It's another page on the same server under my control :) no worries [14:34:31] Duesentrieb_: thanks for your help, I'll have a look at HTMLets [14:50:16] 03(mod) Server should return http status code 301 on " this page has been moved" pages - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11946 +comment (10roan.kattouw) [14:52:32] 14(WFM) Moving pages to their own redirects should be permitted - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11948 +comment (10roan.kattouw) [15:12:02] 03(NEW) creating internationalization i18n file - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11953 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki extensions: ImportFreeImages; (bertrand.grondin) [15:12:28] How would I make a wiki page of mine, the index.php of my site?

[15:40:40] 	I've got a question concerning the way edit conflicts are resolved. 
[15:40:42] 	Is anyone here?
[15:43:53] 	khatahn: you could try this and it's a bit long: &amp
[15:45:55] 	Does anyone here know if the way edit conflicts are resolved can be changed?
[15:46:38] 	Anyone?
[15:46:44] 	Wikidudeman_: depends
[15:46:56] 	Let me give an example
[15:47:10] 	sdousley|work:  well, i got around it with the geshi syntax highlighter addon. but thanks, i'll keep that in mind
[15:47:16] 	If I edit a subsection of an article and someone else edited while I was in edit mode...
[15:47:25] 	Then when it reloads, it reloads the entire article in edit mode.
[15:47:37] 	Not just the single section on which the edit conflict occured.
[15:47:43] 	Know what I mean?
[15:49:33] 	yes.
[15:50:05] 	I'd like it to just load the single subsection which the edit conflict occurred, not the entire page.
[15:50:09] 	Wikidudeman_: but i can't help you.
[15:50:15] 	Who can?
[15:51:53] 	Wikidudeman: That would require a *lot* of intelligence to work properly. E.g. when new sections are inserted, the section numbering will change.
[15:52:45] 	If you volunteer to invest 1-2 months of coding, you could probably implement something smarter. But so far, noone did.
[15:53:21] 	Oh
[15:54:19] 	hmm
[15:54:24] 	yeah
[15:54:27] 	that is not a simple problem
[15:54:43] 	it's probably solveable, but it's not somethign you can just whip together in half an hour
[15:56:29] 	i can thnk of some ways to get there part-way but it would be some hefty work
[15:56:40] 	and it would likely fail as often as not
[15:56:56] 	It's just very difficult to resolve edit conflicts, especially on large pages.
[15:57:09] 	With a lot of edits occuring.
[15:58:07] 	don't edit pages that other people are editing :)
[15:58:32] 	Wikidudeman_: and, yes, it is difficult to resolve edit conflicts.  if it were easy, the software would do it for you :)
[15:58:33] 	Impossible
[15:58:56] 	The software could do it somehow
[15:59:14] 	Wikidudeman_: mediawiki already attempst to resolve the conflict.  if it succeeds, you don't get an edit conflict notice.
[15:59:19] 	hi there. one question. does mediawiki supports in anyway smblinking?
[15:59:21] 	you nly get the notice when the automated attempt fails.
[15:59:29] 	Spike||N0ne: what is smblinking?
[15:59:38] 	Who is working on it?
[15:59:42] 	Wikidudeman_: you
[15:59:49] 	i want to make a link to stuff which is in a sambashare
[15:59:54] 	I'm not working on it.
[15:59:59] 	Wikidudeman_: then nobody :)
[16:00:14] 	You aid mediawiki is already attempting to do it.
[16:00:17] 	Spike||N0ne: there might be aw ay to do that weith an external media repository
[16:00:20] 	said*
[16:00:34] 	Wikidudeman_: mediawiki already has conflict resolution code in it.
[16:00:42] 	But?
[16:00:46] 	NotACow, like webdav or something?
[16:00:48] 	Wikidudeman_: it doesn't resolve all cases
[16:01:09] 	Spike||N0ne: i'm not terribly familiar with the media repository extensions.  sorry.
[16:01:27] 	NotACow, thx anyway
[16:01:40] 	Spike||N0ne: you might chceck the extension list, there might be something already

[16:20:48] 	g'day. i have a large amount of content that is NOT in mediawiki, and I'd like to get it in via a computerized import, not manual page creation and editing. I can pre-format the import to wiki-syntax before hand. Any pointers? Direct SQL import? XML format and imported via MW itself? I'd be looking at about 100 MBs of data, and a lot of images.
[16:21:29] 	Morbus: you can use the bot
[16:21:45] 	jlerner: where would I find that?
[16:22:00] 	pagefromfile.py 
[16:22:18] 	http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net/
[16:23:05] 	http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot_general_parameters
[16:23:27] *Morbus 	is reading http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pagefromfile.py
[16:23:29] 	actually, here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pagefromfile.py
[16:23:30] 	right
[16:23:50] 	there may be ways to do the import more quickly
[16:24:30] 	interesting.
[16:24:41] 	doesn't cover the images though
[16:24:48] 	i'm worried about the "out of memory" error if the text contains "several pages".
[16:24:53] 	i'd be looking at several (thousand) pages.
[16:25:07] 	you can always restart the bot if it crashes, from where it left off
[16:25:21] 	it's a little temperamental imho
[16:25:23] 	but it works
[16:25:58] 	what about Special:Import?
[16:26:25] *Morbus 	reads http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Import too.
[16:26:30] 	i think that's faster, if you can manage to create the file format correctly
[16:28:33] 	i grabbed a db export from a wikia site and would mirror that format... but i notice there's an  in here. can I only Special:Import once? I'd need to run this [import solution] multiple times and have it append to the database, not overwrite.
[16:29:28] 	yeah, that doesn't seem to be a problem.
[16:29:55] 	the only problem with Special:Import is php upload file limits. but breaking things up into 2MB chunks seems saner than one-page-per-file, ala pagefromfile.py
[16:30:24] 	i've created many pages from a single file processed by pagefromfile.py
[16:30:45] 	hrm...
[16:30:46] 	"For a large-scale transfer, somebody with sufficient system privileges can move data within the server, which is more practical than sending large XML files from the server to a user's local computer and then back to the server."
[16:30:59] 	which is great, but it doesn't say how to then tell MW to use that uploaded file.
[16:31:10] 	heh
[16:32:28] 	Morbus: maybe http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps#importDump.php
[16:32:47] 	yeah, i saw that, but hte import:help page says it hasn't been mtaintained to the newest releases.
[16:33:16] 	"but hasn't always remained in working order with recent MediaWiki releases"
[16:33:45] 	yeah, that's true of some of the stuff in the maintenance directory
[16:33:47] 	it's confusing
[16:34:21] 	does pagefromfile.py handle history if you pass it a page that already exists?
[16:34:38] 	i don't think it will do anything in that case
[16:34:44] 	it'll just move on...
[16:35:11] 	you want to import an xml dump with all the revisions?
[16:35:41] 	no, not necessarily. it'd be nice to have that feature though.
[16:36:23] 	at the very least, i need to run an import script on a regular basis as new data emerges. if that import script /happens/ to overwrite existing things, i /suppose/ that'd be ok, but i'd much rather it be history-friendly, which Special:Import sounds like it is, assuming i pass it modification times.
[16:37:33] 	Morbus: maybe import.py via the bot
[16:37:48] 	but that's getting beyond my personal experience
[16:38:20] 	is there a way to add javascript to one particular page in mediawiki? i just want to do some google analytics to one particular page...
[16:38:42] 	locke_: there's an extension that does thyat
[16:38:55] 	really? what extension?
[16:38:58] 	http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Analytics
[16:39:15] 	"Analytics is a simple extension which allows you to put a Google Analytics tracker in your MediaWiki articles"
[16:41:48] 	jlerner: and you just put  in which ever article you want to track?
[16:41:56] 	apparently
[16:42:02] 	i haven't used that particular extension
[16:44:27] 	hrm. bot framework only supports "monobook" skin? 
[16:44:31] 	jlerner: any comments about that?
[16:44:41] 	hm
[16:44:50] 	i have used it with a custom skin
[16:44:54] 	it didn't seem to be a problem

[16:45:27] 	Morbus: should be fine
[16:45:30] 	but no promises ;-)
[16:45:42] 	jlerner: i see you run OS X. bot runs fine on OS X? 
[16:45:59] 	oh, hey, incidentally, here's a silly question.
[16:46:07] 	does the bot have to run on the same host as the mediawiki install?
[16:46:07] 	i usually run it via a linux shell
[16:46:18] 	same host, no
[16:46:26] 	it wouldn't be very useful if it had to
[16:46:27] 	;-)
[16:46:29] 	yeah.
[16:46:35] 	but i was looking at the configuration...
[16:46:35] 	first thing you do with the bot is login
[16:46:40] 	it's just a web client
[16:46:58] 	and haven't seen any info on servername or botname/password, etc.
[16:47:00] 	login as mediawiki user Morbus.bot, or whatever
[16:47:16] 	oh, i see, i have to make a family thingy?

[16:47:22] 	y
[16:47:27] 	gotcha
[16:47:34] 	the bot should run file on OS X, why not
[16:47:36] 	;-)
[16:47:44] 	i'm not a python expert tho!
[16:47:55] 	well, i've never had any problems running python scripts or anything on os x.
[16:47:56] 	s/file/fine/

[16:52:09] 	looks like i can use imageharvest.py for image uploading.
[16:52:25] 	i'll fiddle with the bot thingy for a bit.
[16:52:46] 	very good
[16:53:34] 	has there been any new developments in the use of lists? a stronger/prettier inline WhatLinksHere?
[16:54:21] 	32 y pages link to IllustratorA. At the bottom of IllustratorA, there's a purdy list of those y pages?
[16:54:41] 	i know i can do it with crazy things like SemanticMW (which is a real possibility i'm exploring, as it's pretty nice, search-wise).
[16:54:58] 	but i was hoping for something more built-in.
[16:55:14] 	not sure ;-)

[18:45:49] 	is it done through sql commands, or is there a page somewhere i've missed
[18:45:55] 	if the permission is set for the user group you want to have that right
[18:46:26] 	visit something like ... Special:Userlogin&type=signup
[18:46:54] 	were there other changes to $wgGroupPermissions?
[18:47:35] 	well, i've turned off anon edit/read/createaccount, and explicitly enabled those on 'user'
[18:47:46] 	should be fine then
[18:48:09] 	ok thanks, i'll take a look there 
[19:43:04] 	MediaWiki v1.6.10: Some pages are locked from the primary sysop when no permissions were set that coudl cause it
[19:43:43] 	is there a module or someting to allow to upload more than 1 file at a time?
[19:44:18] 	*could
[19:45:37] 	is there a way to entirely disable the "talk" tab?
[19:45:54] 	XDuxaX: not really, because http is not good for mass uploads. you could try to adapt commonist to work with your site.
[19:46:11] 	or at the very least have default text?
[19:46:19] 	RPGMakerVX: you can hide the tab, but the talk pages are still there
[19:47:12] 	RPGMakerVX: about the permission problem... could you be a bit more precise? which pages? locked in what way? is some message/error shown? what does "no permissions set" mean?
[19:48:15] 	Pages like "Project:Protected page" and "MediaWiki:Noarticletext"
[19:48:29] 	nothing is set in LocalSettings.php that could explain this.
[19:48:57] 	MediaWiki:Noarticletext would be editablöe by sysops only per default.
[19:49:03] 	everything in the MediaWiki namespace is
[19:49:13] 	apparantly not :/
[19:50:02] 	RPGMakerVX: are you sure you really have sysop permissions?
[19:50:10] 	absolutely
[19:50:22] 	RPGMakerVX: and do you do *anything* with wgGroupPermissions in you LocalSettings.php?
[19:50:28] 	do you have any extensions active?
[19:50:38] 	oh, 1.6... ugh
[19:50:44] 	Yes, but none of it touched sysop
[19:50:51] 	as for extensions
[19:50:53] 	no
[19:50:55] 	not even sure if it used wgGroupPermissions
[19:51:00] 	It does
[19:51:25] 	1.6.10 had to be used because php5 was not available
[19:51:35] 	RPGMakerVX: can you post you LocalSettings.php to http://rafb.net/paste/ (with passwords removed)?
[19:51:51] 	php4 sucks... mediawiki 1.6  is old...
[19:52:15] 	as opposed to apparantly an "unstable" PHP5?
[19:52:20] 	eww php4
[19:53:08] 	damn
[19:53:10] 	g2g
[19:54:53] 	Jack_Phoenix: it doesn't help to eww every time someone mentions something you don't like
[19:57:56] 	I cant figure out how to get text blocks into the light blue boxes that have a border
[19:58:57] 	SiliconG: us a 
. consult your favorite html/css tutorial. [19:59:22] ok so that is how I have to do it - there is no automatic formatting [19:59:47] automatic? no. you have to tell it what you want... [20:00:07] you can make a template, so you can later use it like {{box|some text}} [20:00:21] !templates [20:00:21] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates [20:04:25] 03(NEW) Enable Gadgets extension in de.wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11956 15enhancement; normal; Wikimedia: Site requests; (arnomane) [20:06:03] Duesentrieb_: is there not something that will do this - I have to style it my selft? [20:06:32] how would "something" know what style you want? [20:06:45] do it yourself, or copy some box you like [20:08:28] the default blue box that mediawiki uses I just want to put text in just like they do on the site the code block [20:09:00] bonsoir [20:10:33] any idea's I am a newbie and I just want a turn key kind of solution [20:12:18] SiliconG: i have no idea what "the default blue box" is. you mean the infoboxes? they tend to be pretty complex. and they also tend to be done in dofferent ways and styles. [20:12:47] .oO(maybe i should host a mediawiki template repository, slap on google ads, and get rich) [20:19:58] I think that would be a good idea - in the mean time - can you look at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page [20:20:20] if you look down the page you will see the blue boxes on the right - that is what I am talking about [20:21:06] i see several box - a bighish blue one too, but not "down" the page... [20:22:14] ok well the blue boxes that have [20:22:50] SiliconGis: you'll have to learn the syntax anyway to fill it with the stuff you want. [20:23:03] so go ahead and make a floating blu box with
and css [20:23:39] ok so I have a par that I want to put in a box - what do I do? [20:24:12] <^demon> AaronSchulz: Ping [20:24:23] Pong [20:25:22] so is there a simple way to format text in a box like the ones on that page? [20:27:53] <^demon> AarpmSchulz: I'm using ConfirmAccount, and my users are getting an "invalid e-mail confirm" type error when clicking on the confirm e-mail links. Any clue as to why? [20:28:35] is it the latest SVN version? [20:28:39] <^demon> Yep. [20:28:41] how come when I login the username is alway CAPITALIZED?? how can I uncapitalized it? thank you all;) [20:28:44] <^demon> As of like 2-3 days ago. [20:29:14] what version of MW? [20:29:18] <^demon> 1.11 [20:29:24] hmm, worksforme [20:29:32] and CZ ;) [20:29:56] <^demon> Hmmm, let me check it out again. I've done 1 or 2 changes, those might have inadvertently broken it. [20:33:17] <^demon> AaronSchulz: Appears to be working again, I guess I broke it myself...didn't realize it. [20:34:56] is this wiki public? [20:36:20] <^demon> Yep. [20:36:39] <^demon> http://wiki.veropedia.com [20:37:32] when using mysql as the db, should full text search work out of the box? [20:37:42] pscheie: yes. [20:37:43] I'm using version 1.11.0 [20:37:55] hmm [20:38:00] pscheie: though with the restrictions that mysql's fulltext engine imposes [20:38:11] #most proiminently, search terms have to be at least 4 characters long [20:38:22] and can't be numbers [20:38:23] etc [20:38:34] ah Duesentrieb_ you hit the nail on the head for me! [20:38:43] \o/ [20:38:50] I created a document on ssh, then searched for it, couldn't find it! [20:39:09] so I made another doc, this time on VPN, searched for that, failed again! [20:39:37] Can I shorten the minimum length of the search string/indexing? [20:39:41] look at myslq's manual page on fulltext indexes [20:40:07] mmm [20:40:15] index.php in veropedia's urls [20:40:16] lame [20:40:30] $wgLogo :) [20:40:31] ergh [20:40:51] just tried searching for a 4 character string, worked just fine [20:40:53] <^demon> domas: I'm not *done* setting it up yet.

[20:56:08] el_sjaako: are you good at it?- Can you fix taxobox to take a default color (lightgreen) if its absent? [20:56:43] why is it capatalised in db? [20:57:03] when I create it, the name is all lower case [20:57:15] yes, it is cap in db [20:57:19] I wonder why [20:57:29] ribnitz: No, not really. But the help article about parametrs was pretty decent, I believe [20:57:55] el_sjaako: do you have a link? [20:58:31] hello, el [21:00:14] ribnitz: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template [21:00:21] its long, but should work [21:00:28] if it can be done... [21:00:51] poguy: If you entered them lowercase, I dont know why they are all caps [21:01:20] MediaWiki makes the first letter of user names uppercase by default. [21:01:38] can I disable that, Pathoschild? [21:01:59] I don't think so; let me look around. [21:03:27] nevermind Pathoschild, I can override getCanonicalName($username), thx a bunch!!
