[00:24:50] on my mediawiki thing, the "edit" button for each section is weirdly on the left. [00:24:59] how do I make it so that the "edit" button goes back to the right [00:26:00] look into your Mediawiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Monobook.css [00:26:15] what values would I be looking out for [00:26:17] if there is some code that affects the section edit link appearance [00:26:45] yes, but which values would be indicative of the section edit link's appearance [00:27:07] pandacomics: look at the section edit link's class... [00:27:26] i see this in the html source: class="editsection" [00:27:28] something like .sectionedit? or [00:27:28] editsection [00:27:31] so, look for .editsection [00:27:34] oh ok [00:30:18] sorry for being retarded [00:30:25] but monobook should be in /wiki/skins right [00:30:30] as in monobook.css [00:35:39] more like skins/monobook/main.css or something like that [00:35:54] just grep for editsection over all the skin files [00:36:38] ok [00:36:39] I did [00:36:46] I tried putting in text-align: right; [00:36:51] but it did basically nothing [00:37:05] as in h1 { ....; text-align: right; } [00:37:11] same for h2, h3, etc. [00:39:56] ARGH! I tried changing div.editsection by adding text-align: right; [00:39:59] didn't work. surprise. [00:48:13] Check out Ogle a new search engine powered by google at www.ogle.i8.com [00:50:08] please but ogle.i8.com on the spam blacklist. thank you. [00:55:58] so yeah [00:56:23] I tried adding text-align: right; to div.editsection as well as h1.editsection, h2.editsection, etc. [00:56:49] to no effect. is there another parameter that's available that I can use to push it over to the right [00:58:27] so what does all that ugly yellow mean? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Newpages [00:59:08] unpatrolled [00:59:26] ugh, is that using css? is that the default? [00:59:31] is there some other color? [00:59:45] all colors are css [00:59:46] or another way to mark it [00:59:52] change it if you don't like it [01:00:00] it should be just a class [01:00:03] (havn't looked) [01:03:59] sorry to ask again [01:04:01] but another question [01:04:09] how do I reduce the size of the body text -__- [01:04:33] I know how to reduce the size of the header text cause it says h# {font-size: ###%} [01:04:42] but I haven't been able to find the body text size thing [01:06:51] I think you should learn css first [01:07:27] wow. doesn't help. [01:07:32] -___- [01:12:36] never mind, solved it. [01:12:42] thanks for nothing, micaelzer.

[02:20:08] *Random832 doesn't want to click to the talk page when it's just a couple templates [02:40:59] I installed everything, compiled texvc... now I went in a browser window (wiki/config) and it complains about ONE thing : Database host: localhost ; Connection failed... No idea why... mysql is up and running, the database was created, the user too, everything is verified and went successful [02:41:06] any idea on this?! [02:41:41] in fact, I just tried mysql -u wikiuser -p and it worked fine.. so I guess the problem is more with mysql than mediawiki [03:19:54] How would one go about removing the 'Main Page' header from the main page? Is there no way to do it without editing the code itself? [03:31:26] can anyone tell me why {{{title}}} here: http://bahaikipedia.org/Template:Navbox/core shows up different then the wikipedia one with the same code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Navbox/core [03:34:09] Hell [03:34:16] hello* [03:34:55] I'm trying to install Wiki on my webserver, and it's successful, but when I try to access it, I get this message in my FireFox: "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." [03:35:43] How do I resolve this? [03:38:36] got cookies disabled? [03:39:38] nope [03:43:47] I suppose I'll try v1.6 and see if that gives me any luck [03:54:30] I'm trying to use the Template Table extension, but it says my template has no data. Does it matter that my template has a space in the name? (I've tried it with the space and an underscore) [03:56:45] okay, nvm... I guess my host has PHP4 installed instead of PHP5 [03:56:49] 1.6 works [04:08:08] does anyone know what the settings are for the new page patrol thing on English Wikibooks? [04:18:33] Anyone have info on setting for new pages patrol on en:wb? [04:20:35] It's not documented; I assume it's new. [04:20:45] what new pages patrol? [04:21:34] Any confirmed account can now mark new pages as verified on Special:Newpages. [04:21:36] on enwiki. [04:21:47] confirmed = auto-confirmed. [04:21:50] and on en.wb (at least) [04:22:15] it was enabled for a while, then disabled till brion have the thumbs-up, and is re-enabled [04:22:26] so it's just the regular patrol feature with an extra bit of UI? [04:22:57] i'm just wondering who on en.wb can patrol/are admin new pages automatically patrolled/etc [04:23:24] TimStarling: I don't think so; patrolling is still disabled for non-creating edits. [04:23:33] yeah. no. But a similar idea [04:23:46] so it's an extension? [04:23:54] yes it is [04:24:03] what is it called? [04:24:04] from special:newpages, you hit some new page and you go to that page, but it adds a link "mark this as patrolled" [04:24:13] and then there's... other stuff [04:24:21] iunno. [04:24:28] If so, it's not listed on Special:Version. [04:25:24] it's this thing: [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/patrolled pages]] [04:41:20] No, I can't find it on Special:Version either [05:33:40] Does anybody have a link available to that monobook lines that make mediawiki return proper 404 status codes?

[08:56:24] the expansion component of strip() is now in extensionSubstitution() [08:56:46] and the expansion component of replace_callback is now in PPFrame::expand [09:03:21] it'll probably improve performance to move the prefix matching part of braceSubstitution() into preprocessToDom() [09:03:26] where it can be cached better [09:04:32] and that also opens up the interesting possibility of native parser functions, to go with native DOM expansion [10:14:04] 03(mod) Correct project namespace for Kannada Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11717 (10dungodung) [10:42:04] 03(NEW) Page rendering difected in eo:WP - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12010 major; high; Wikimedia: Language setup; (arno.raymond.lagrange) [10:44:15] Hi [10:44:55] I'm sorry if this is a "noob" question, but when I set up a wiki the default logo tells me to edit $wgLogo, but this does not appear to be in LocalSettings.php [10:46:07] add it [10:49:44] how, is it "$wgLogo = \path\to\logo;" and where [10:52:11] $wgLogo = '/images/whatever'; [10:52:14] at the end of the file [10:52:39] it's a URL, not a path on the local filesystem [10:52:46] 03(FIXED) Correct project namespace for Kannada Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11717 +comment (10jeluf) [10:59:20] done [10:59:22] thanks [11:01:32] 03(FIXED) Checkuser perfomance issues - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11387 +comment (10JSchulz_4587) [11:02:52] 03(FIXED) CheckUser still uses ExtensionFunctions.php - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11578 +comment (10JSchulz_4587) [11:08:01] $wgTitle->escapeLocalURL( 'user='.urlencode($ip).'&checktype=subipusers' ) [11:08:09] TimStarling: isn't that double escaping?

[18:36:38] the default setup with separate pathes for files and pages has several advantages [18:36:44] for example, easy control using robots.txt [18:36:59] mmememe: define a redirect?

[18:37:39] i want the same thing [18:38:04] mmememe: one way: in htaccess: Redirect /index.html http://yoursite/wiki/ [18:38:15] maybe / also works instead of index.html, not sure [18:38:31] this wiki is still in-progress and is a niche market anyway, hopeful i can get away with no cache for a while.... i use it as well so if it gets to slow i'll notice it as well, thanks for the help!

[21:02:47] <[NCIS]> thanks people [21:04:22] i noticed a difference between "Special:Userlogin" and "index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Main_Page" in media wiki. My problem is i only want to use "Special:Userlogin" but this does not display a link to return to the last page visited, even if i use returnto in the url. Is there a way of displaying a link to return to the last page visited on this page? [21:04:59] I need to use Special:Userlogin because I am using a custom authentication system and an apache configured to detect that pattern [21:05:23] matx: You want to use "/wiki/Special:Userlogin?returnto=Main_Page"? [21:05:46] i think i tried that but did not work [21:05:52] It should work. [21:06:03] Unless you used "&" instead of "?". [21:06:19] url arguments start with ? [21:06:36] hmmmm odd [21:06:50] The first URL argument starts with "?"; all others are added to it with "&". [21:07:36] So you can read the url as "domain/path/page QUERY argument AND argument". [21:08:30] hmm ok, give me a min, i need to install a extension on my laptop, evidently the problem seems to happen without this extension.. brb [21:09:12] i think there have been returnto bugs; you may want to make sure you're mediawiki is semi-updated [21:09:24] 03(FIXED) Create "=?UTF-8?Q?=D7=A4=D7=90=D7=A8=D7=98=D7=90=D7=9C?=" namespace on Yiddish Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11193 +comment (10jeluf) [21:09:26] erm [21:09:42] well on thing is, i am overiding the personal_urls arguments [21:11:36] 03(mod) Translation alternate names of special pages nds-nl - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12006 +patch (10raimond.spekking) [21:14:01] - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12014 +comment (10jeluf) [21:17:22] 03(FIXED) Create an author namespace on huwikisource - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11425 +comment (10jeluf) [21:17:47] hmmmm, my media wiki installion on my laptop used for development seems to act differently to the media wiki on server at work :( i dont have access to irc at work :( [21:18:21] are they the same version?

[23:44:36] images/timeline is 777 [23:44:55] /bin/pl is 777 [23:45:09] (that would be ploticus) [23:45:30] /extensions/timeline/easytimeline.pl is 777 [23:45:44] ok [23:46:26] *ST47 is currently trying it himself [23:46:29] 03(mod) subst: din't work inside tags - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12016 (10N/A) [23:46:30] the only thing I can think of is that I have perl installed on another location than /usr/bin/perl [23:47:05] well, check - what happens if you do /usr/bin/perl -e 'print "Hello, World!\n"'? [23:47:11] but don't know how to retrieve the right location [23:47:20] symlink it (if it is elsewhere) [23:47:51] I don't have access to some kind of shell on the server of the webhost :) it's not locally. [23:47:59] ;) [23:48:40] usually paid hosting provides ssh [23:48:42] also ploticus is therefore not installed in /bin/pl but /long/list/of/paths/mydomain/wiki/bin/pl [23:49:15] RidderGraniet: but that's the place it's linked to in LocalSettings? [23:49:24] with the paths and such [23:49:52] yes, because if that weren't right the script would return errors [23:50:26] do you know what the version is of ploticus? [23:50:55] I know this because the path to perl was once faulty (/usr/bin/local/perl) and after changing it to /usr/bin/perl it wasn't returning errors anymore [23:51:12] 2.33, the latest [23:55:32] 03(mod) Install the StringFunctions extension - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6455 (10Simetrical+wikibugs) [23:55:43] are you having any luck installing it? [23:56:02] I've got it installed, but no luck [23:56:45] mm [23:56:55] is the /images directory also chmodded 777?
