[01:18:13] Well, it internationalizes by wiki language; I'm not entirely sure about by user language, so you'd need to try it. [01:18:56] i heard in a nutshell this - int takes php default while mediawiki takes possibly overriden message [01:19:26] We'd need to try it, and improve the documentation on [[m:Help:Magic words]]. [01:19:41] youp youp [01:29:57] 03shizhao * r28075 10/trunk/tools/planet/zh/config.ini: [01:32:41] I'm having a problem with a template. Here is the line with a named parameter: MFI-RM-{{{co}}} [01:32:59] It's part of a customized tag....is that going to cause problems? [01:34:07] Logan_Andrews: I think parser tags are parsed before template variables, so the parser will get the literal plaintext "{{{co}}}" even if you give it a value in a template. [01:34:28] dang [01:35:38] ok realted (sorta) question... [01:35:47] http://wiki.maquis.com/w/Cell:MFS_Charleston_Harbor [01:35:54] http://wiki.maquis.com/w/Cell:MFS_Trinity [01:36:11] the latter has the template applied....the top and side are altered [01:36:18] how can I prevent that? [01:39:15] Logan_Andrews: I can't see the wiki code (I have to register to view it, and I need approval to register), so I don't know. Check that you didn't forget to close a

tag or something, or install HTML Tidy (which fixes that kind of problem automatically). [01:39:54] Where can I post the code? I'll copy and paste it [01:40:04] http://rafb.net/paste/ [01:42:07] Template code: http://rafb.net/p/wQPdmJ35.html [01:43:36] that is missing a LOT of ending tags... [01:43:47] 03shinjiman * r28076 10/trunk/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/README: adding download method via SVN for GeSHi [01:44:55] So I need to make sure everything has an ending tag? We've not really bothered with them a lot because it works [01:45:12] well, you need the

at least, that's what's breaking the page [01:45:58] but you should throw in the and s in there as well, its good practise [01:46:04] that, and you're missing a |} [01:46:04] Do you see any reason to keep it? I'm basically adapting a stand alone page that is being the model for the template? [01:46:21] er, nvm, I can't read [01:47:03] that's up to you... I can't say much about your wiki considering I don't know much about it [01:48:35] Does anyone know if free-reading.net has an IRC #? [01:50:21] http://rafb.net/p/NupsgK17.html [01:50:40] modified template....problem on applied cell page is still the same [01:52:11] still missing an , as well as some issues with your second table's first cell, but that shouldn't be breaking anything [01:53:36] ok what's the problem with the 2nd table 1st cell? [01:55:39] um, semicolon doesn't need to be there [01:55:55] and you don't need the div before align [02:05:28] I think I did it....there must have been some code further down that was breaking it on the chapter page itself [02:05:38] Skizzerz: thanks for your help [02:05:47] np [02:21:55] on a personal wiki, i had a vandal who i blocked permanently, including blocking account creation; however, from the recentchanges table, it appears the user was able to create an account and edit; is this possible? [02:22:07] mediawiki version 1.11 [02:23:05] *Messedrocker frowns to see no names in [[Special:ConfirmAccounts]] [02:26:15] MZMcBride: yes, if they logged out and then created an account [02:26:36] that's why account creation blocks are mainly pointless for logged-in users =/ [02:26:46] what? [02:27:00] wait, did you block a username or an IP? [02:27:06] a username [02:27:23] but you're telling me that an account creation block can only work if the user is logged out? [02:27:28] ok, so if that user logged out, they lose the account creation restriction (at least from my personal experience they do) [02:27:58] i thought the account creation block was based on the rc_ip field [02:28:20] I don't know what it's based off of, but I'm having that same problem on another wiki [02:28:43] the user made at least 5 accounts, even though all the blocks had "block account creation" checked [02:29:05] yeah, that's what i'm experiencing as well [02:29:46] so I'm assuming that if you check that while blocking a username, it doesn't prevent that user's IP from creating accounts... of course, I haven't looked at the code base to confirm this yet [02:30:28] that would make the option pretty pointless, wouldn't it? [02:30:39] yes, it would [02:31:32] *Skizzerz goes to check the code [02:36:47] MZMcBride: Looking at SpecialUserlogin.php, it does appear to be the case that if you account creation block a username, they can log out to evade it [02:37:06] that seems like a pretty major bug [02:37:17] it's right in the comments... [02:37:38] which leads me to wonder why they don't change it since they know about it [02:39:06] MZMcBride: I pasted the function here: http://rafb.net/p/TkbLdc77.html , with comments in-tact [02:39:17] yeah, i just found it [02:40:11] *Skizzerz debates opening a bug to modify the functionality of that... [02:40:38] it should be fixed [02:40:44] else, the option is worthless [02:40:55] or at least entirely misleading [02:41:00] yeah [02:41:15] you going to file? [02:41:57] uh, sure [02:42:16] (just don't want duplicate bugs) :) [02:42:46] yeah [02:42:52] it'd be an enhancement, right? [02:43:24] i'd say normal [02:43:49] not really an enhancement to get the software to do what it says it's doing [02:43:50] k [02:48:51] 03(NEW) Change "block account creation" functionality when blocking usernames - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12185 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Blocking; (skizzerz) [02:49:25] very nice, thanks :) [02:49:57] had to figure out how to re-word that last sentence to avoid a redundant Therefore, opening the sentence :P [02:50:14] >_> [02:50:27] *Skizzerz fails at grammar and it's/its [03:20:22] What file actually bulids the HTML code for display? [03:21:09] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Parser.php [03:22:03] ok where would it most likely be on my server [03:22:16] /includes/ [03:22:32] ah...kk [03:24:31] ok so much for figuring that out on my own....Anyone ever play around with the .firstHeading class? [03:24:46] what are you trying to do? [03:24:57] http://wiki.maquis.com/w/Cell:MFS_Trinity [03:25:19] The graphic below the title I'm trying to put in the title as a bkgd [03:25:42] But I can't figure out how to make the section wider [03:25:49] or taller as the case may be [03:26:13] =/ [03:26:37] you don't have all the body classes [03:27:18] ah, 1.6.6, that would explain that... [03:27:20] I looked in the source code and saw h1.firstHeading [03:27:26] what else do I need to affect? [03:27:35] http://pruebita.com/wiki/Main_Page [03:28:21] Logan_Andrews: you see the padding around the header? [03:28:58] lol, nice wiki :) [03:29:11] pruebita = a little test :) [03:29:18] :P [03:29:26] Yeah [03:29:29] i let the 'user' group have 'editinterface' access; bad idea [03:29:39] Logan_Andrews: would that work? [03:29:53] lol, better than letting * have userrights access I guess :P [03:29:55] I think so...won't know for sure till I try of course [03:30:13] it's simple CSS: .firstHeading {padding: 50px 0 50px 0} [03:30:31] should make the area taller for you [03:30:34] top, right, bottom , left? [03:31:03] yep, like a clock [03:31:10] kewl... [03:31:51] I don't do too bad for someone thrown into PHP, SQL, Wiki and CSS all at once...but I still don't understand it all [03:31:58] thanks for the help [03:32:10] no problem [03:34:36] Can I do a vertical text align in CSS? [03:35:08] vertical-align:middle or whatever [03:35:36] I know "text-align: center" ... I don't have to have text before vertical? [03:36:06] no, the property is vertical-align [03:36:31] kewl [03:37:31] does the padding interfeer with the text placement? [03:39:05] yeah it does..... [03:51:57] 03shinjiman * r28077 10/trunk/phase3/languages/classes/LanguageZh.php: fixing zh-TW array to merging with zh-Hant instead of zh-Hans [04:00:29] how do I disable the printing of the "Main Page" heading on mediawiki ? I think wikipedia has it disabled, but I couldnt find a way to do it (some hacks on the net, but I was hoping a clean way or option or some define like __NOTITLE__ or) [04:01:11] !csshideheader | Buzz_ [04:01:11] Buzz_ : To hide the header on the main page, you need to add this CSS to the wiki page [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]: "body.page-Main_Page h1.firstHeading { display: none; }". If your main page's title is not "Main Page", you'll need to change it accordingly (look at the class on the tag in the HTML source). [04:01:33] thanks [04:01:38] yep :) [04:02:42] aaah. that looks all lovely now [04:02:44] ;-) [04:07:21] What elements control the look of the tabs across the top? [04:07:52] p-cactions, iirc [04:08:40] ok in the source code I found p-cactions and then it also had portlets with it.... [04:09:05] but portlet class is also with p-personal [04:10:01] if I want to change the look of the tabs then I need to affect the p-cactions elements only, yes? [04:11:50] or do I do p-cactions.portlet.li? [04:12:09] portlet is not the tabs .. [04:12:21] It's the toolbox, navigation, etc., i believe [04:12:45] the tabs are in a portlet too [04:12:48] Oh, I guess the tabs are in portlet too. [04:12:58] BUt p-cactions should be all you're concerned with [04:29:11] scap time! [04:38:25] amidaniel: you're Article.php fix worked perfectly :) [04:42:01] 03(NEW) Chang in Benglali Wikisource {{SITENAME}} and Namespace - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12186 15enhancement; normal; Wikimedia: General/Unknown; (bellayet) [04:54:40] 03tstarling * r28078 10/trunk/phase3/languages/LanguageConverter.php: Bump translation table cache version, since new tables have been added. Generates fatal errors if not done. [04:58:11] MZMcBride: Glad to hear it :) Let me know the next time it breaks :P [04:58:21] will do :) [04:58:53] though i usually only notice after it's screwed up 200 of my deletion summaries :/ [04:59:13] Haha :) [04:59:24] anyne would like to help directly on my wiki [04:59:31] would like to catalog my city [04:59:43] using semantic mediawiki and maps [06:54:39] could someone enlighten me why only the last line produces a thumbnail on a page, http://pastebin.com/m3d5e7b6f [06:57:22] maybe there is no Coffee.png image uploaded? [06:57:32] argh. :D [06:57:32] (note the last is .jpg) [06:57:38] Splarka, thanks ;) [06:57:48] np [06:57:48] goddammit :) [07:24:41] hmm, moving articles is kind of weird. i move A to B, then MW actually just creates a redirect from B to A, so when i remove A, B has no content ... or have i done something wrong? [07:24:58] so what's going on with GFDL/creative commons compatibility? [07:26:14] pengo: thats what i wonder too [07:26:30] most exciting news i've heard in ages [07:26:44] and i only happened to stumble across it on slashdot [07:27:32] pengo: wikimedia, the free software foundation, and the creative commons are working a way to allow wikipedia to relicense all its content to cc-by-sa [07:28:47] how is that possible? is there a clause that allows us to change to later versions of the GFDL? [07:29:01] yes [07:29:13] "or any later version" [07:29:13] cool [07:29:16] and a later version of the GFDL may stipulate for switching to the CC-BY-SA [07:29:43] GFDL is dead. Long live GFDL. [07:30:03] makes you kind of wary about using the 'or any later version' clause on your work, doesn't it? [07:30:04] 03rotem * r28079 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesHe.php: Update and fixes. [07:31:05] flyingparchment, I have no objection to my edits being relicensed to CC-BY-SA [07:31:15] all several thousand of them [07:31:22] no, i'm sure most people don't [07:31:41] but the point is, the FSF can basically relicense your work any way they want [07:31:48] flyingparchment: yeah. there's a reason Linux is GPL 2 and only 2. [07:32:32] i wish i could pay someone to write a wikimedia extension for me [07:32:42] but in this case it seems to be good thing [07:32:52] Messedrocker: me too. but first i'd need money [07:33:06] me too [07:33:16] micropledge.com ? [07:33:18] would $50 be a reasonable bounty for an extension? [07:33:45] Messedrocker: what kinda extension? [07:33:52] *Werdna ears perk up [07:33:57] hey werdna [07:34:17] don't get excited yet -- i don't have $50 [07:34:29] but basically i want at the right-side of each page a comments column [07:34:36] where there could be a comment section per article section [07:34:46] hello [07:35:18] hi [07:35:43] would anyone mind helping me a min? :D? [07:36:22] werdna, how doable would such a thing be? [07:36:35] well, you'd have to play with some skins. [07:37:06] what do you mean [07:38:31] *.* [07:39:14] well, the column doesn't exist there by itself. [07:40:01] so basically something would have to be coded into the skin itself, which i don't really have a problem with [08:19:03] '''At least the current revision of the source page must remain.'''

[10:28:32] there's a strong case here for a specialised native extension that does this job [10:30:22] indeed [10:30:23] Hi there [10:30:50] I am looking for a MediaWiki extension or wiki software for the purposes of software documentation that allows users to edit / add articles *for* specific software versions [10:30:53] is there such a thing? [10:31:07] would it be too much hassle to add code that would fall back to normal arrays if such extension weren't installed? [10:32:53] Sorry, don't quite understand that [10:33:06] was not directed for you [10:33:54] Sardukar: it's your wiki, you can decide how to name pages, anything more specialised and you aren't likely to find anything existing for it [10:35:14] I understand that, but that would involve making users read a whole bunch of guidelines and whatnot before making an edit which is a quite anti-wiki spirit [10:36:12] Sardukar: so... what do you have in mind? a form to fill in? [10:37:04] 03rotem * r28089 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesHe.php: Fixes. [10:37:16] I suppose, version tracking of sub-pages (i.e. version tracking of sections), w/ ability to display all swversions of a section or to globally filter the wiki by a swversion [10:37:24] swversion being a 'version of the software' being documented [10:38:03] you can use categories to do that. but it has to be maintained manually [10:38:05] 03rotem * r28090 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesHe.php: Fixes.

[10:39:10] Oh, ignore that [10:39:20] I forgot the concept of a category momenteraly [10:39:32] it's just a bog-o-stuff :)# [10:39:52] you can also compose pages by including other pages (from any namespace) [10:40:24] could you explain that bit? that might be useful [10:40:40] have you used templates? [10:40:54] I haven't used anything yet except the install script [10:41:03] + have intermediate PHP knowledge [10:41:21] Sardukar: read http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help%3ATemplates and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Embed_page [10:42:14] Sardukar: namespaces, categories and (template) inclusion are key features. learn about them first.

[13:16:05] hah [13:21:45] Hello [13:31:04] 03gri6507 * r28103 10/trunk/extensions/Tooltip/Tooltip.php: v0.5 - numerous style improvements [13:38:13] How to forbide link prefixes usage in specified language? [13:42:20] Hello [13:44:26] Hello! I have a question about MediaWiki and login form! So I need that MediaWiki took logins not from MediaWiki database, but from external database, where login are already created! Can you tell me - which extension could help me or what I need to edit in some config script to? [13:44:42] !authplugin [13:44:42] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin [13:44:47] ^see above [13:45:04] Thanks! But there only plugins for forums... [13:46:11] !ldap | Help_Needed [13:46:11] Help_Needed: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication [13:46:14] !help [13:46:14] Hi! I'm mwbot, a bot that was quickly whipped up by Daniel Cannon (AmiDaniel) to help out around #mediawiki. Some quick help is at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mwbot, you can find all my source code at http://amidaniel.com/viewvc/trunk/MWBot/?root=svn [13:54:11] VasilievVV: does this extension helps me to connect another MySQL database? [13:55:13] Help_Needed: you have another MySQL database with another format? [13:56:32] Not exactly format. There are different tables. [13:56:49] Help_Needed: auth-plugin is a general plugin interface. it can be used to autheticate to the user database of some forum, or against ldap, or against whatever you like. [13:57:10] for ldap, a plugin exists. also for phpbb and some others. [13:57:31] if you have some database with a custom structzure, you will have to write a plugin for it [13:58:19] Help_Needed: somehow, you have to tell mediawiki how to find the info it needs for login - this is what you do by writing an auth-plugin. [13:58:50] authplugins are really easy, took me like an hour to write a new one [13:59:06] account sharing should be simple enough [13:59:07] 03vasilievvv * r28104 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesRu.php: * Totally disable linkprefix for ru. [13:59:12] single login would be more tricky i guess [13:59:26] yeah, i didn't manage to make sso work [13:59:37] i think more than an authplugin is needed to check the cookie on every page view [13:59:58] Good for you, but I'm not really coder! :-( [14:00:22] Help_Needed: well, how do you expect mediawiki to magically be able to understand your user database? [14:00:27] someone has to write code for it... [14:00:31] Yeah! :-) [14:00:38] Funnu isn't it? : [14:00:50] i wonder why vmware server needs a license key when it's free [14:01:15] 'cause they can't get used to it [14:03:17] hi there [14:03:48] i have a question regarding categorys and namespaces: is it possible to have the same category in different namespaces? [14:04:16] what i need is "Category A" each in NS1 and NS2, but they must be treaten as separate categorys [14:04:18] category *is* a namespace [14:04:18] no, categories can only exist in the Category namespace [14:04:24] so categories are always in teh category namespace [14:04:26] ok. [14:04:36] beni_: however, you can make a naming convention: [14:04:53] use Category:Foo:X for the X category for namepsace Foo [14:04:58] Duesentrieb: something like "Category A (fooProject) already come to my mind [14:05:17] i like the multi-colon-thing [14:05:20] the problem with "Foo: CatA" is that sorting will be destroyed [14:05:35] you can use explicite sort keys. [14:05:48] ah, what does that do? [14:05:52] [[Category:Foo|]] on page X makes it shou under A, not X [14:05:54] err [14:05:59] [[Category:Foo|A]] [14:06:28] I have to put this in any article name, don't i? [14:06:38] or where do i put this in? [14:06:42] hm? [14:06:47] it's a categorization link [14:06:53] it goes on the page you want to categorize [14:06:54] 03(mod) Chang in Bengali (bn) Wikisource {{SITENAME}} and Namespace - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12186 summary (10bellayet) [14:07:19] but this implies, that if i have 100 articles under that category, i have 100 times this link? [14:07:40] yes... how else wopuld you put the articles into the category in teh first place? [14:07:59] Ok, this is an option i think. I think, with additional namespaces for the articles this should all be good separated. [14:09:02] thank you very much for that fast answer [14:10:07] speaking of namespaces. I'd like to remove the Talk: namespace, or at least render it unusable. the same with Portal:, User: and all the others except Special: and Category: and the default article namespace. any suggestions? are there any extensions that can do this, and where do I find them? (I'm using the very latest mediawiki version, so far unmodded, installed merely an hour ago) [14:13:17] jobjorn: put a namespace protection on it [14:14:32] e.g. $wgNamespaceProtection[ NS_TALK ] = array( ); [14:15:49] ah [14:15:53] 'thank you VasilievVV [14:19:50] jobjorn: use smth like $wgNamespaceProtection[ NS_MAIN ] = array( 'editlimited' ); . Than only users with "Editlimted: right will be able to edit these namespaces [14:21:07] sounds good. [14:22:42] what can I use other than "editlimited"? [14:26:58] Well, I've got a problem, and after searching the FAQ and the site about such an issue and after not finding anything, I figured someone here might be able to help. [14:28:05] I have a working MediaWiki installation on a server. I need to move said installation to another server. I packed up all the files and downloaded a backup of the database. Then, I put them up on the new server, configured the LocalSettings.php file and uploaded the database. [14:28:20] heh [14:28:26] oops, mischan [14:28:34] VasilievVV: is it these groups: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_rights#List_of_rights_and_groups that I can use with $wgNamespaceProtection? [14:28:58] Well, the problem is, with the new upload, it only displays a blank white page at the index. [14:29:21] It doesn't redirect to the main page or anything; it just sits at the root directory with a blank white page. [14:30:37] jobjorn: yes [14:31:30] e.g. $wgNamespaceProtection[ NS_MAIN ] = array( 'block' ); allow to edit these NS for users who can block [14:32:55] yo yo yo [14:34:11] brion-office: ? [14:35:17] its ho ho ho ..christmas is coming :) [14:35:54] Webs961: if you have a fresh mediawiki-install, you could always just try to install a new mediawiki installation using the old database? [14:36:42] That might work. Could it possibly have something to do with an older PHP install version (Eg. version 4.3.11 instead of 5.2.4)? [14:37:04] yes, I think the latest MediaWiki requires PHP 5 [14:37:08] Yes it does [14:37:10] I just read that [14:37:17] That's very frustrating. [14:37:44] Well, thanks for the help, heh. [14:37:56] *Webs961 tells himself to read the fine manual... [14:38:01] just install mediawiki 1.6.10 [14:38:08] http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.6.10.tar.gz?download [14:38:53] I've got some custom stuff that requires a newer version of mw (eg. a user account bridge). I'll just upgrade PHP [15:04:20] byez [15:09:31] Hello.. My mediawiki seems to have reset its user/password to root/nothing for mysql.. How do I change this? [15:11:41] that's the third report I've seen of that [15:11:48] that never used to happen did it? [15:11:50] TimStarling, Me? [15:11:56] yeah, you [15:12:11] you just have to delete the user MediaWiki created [15:12:12] I was very confused when I accessed it this morning oO [15:12:20] it's been creating user accounts with a different host to what was there before [15:12:35] it doesn't actually change the password, just creates a new one with a different password [15:12:37] Which user? The mysql user? [15:12:44] yes [15:12:58] I assume you mean the installer [15:13:04] Can I just change the password back? [15:13:09] No, the actual wiki doesnät work [15:13:11] you could [15:13:46]
