[15:04:31] bcrosby: Very much possible [15:05:34] hello [15:06:18] hi all, can anyone tell me where i can find infos about the "Languages" bar in wikipedia (at the bottom on the left), please ? [15:06:54] ghoulsblade: There isn't really a page on that [15:07:02] But everyone here knows how to do it :P [15:07:21] !interwiki | ghoulsblade [15:07:21] --mwbot-- ghoulsblade: Interwiki links are links between wikis. For instance, on Wiktionary, [[w:Article name]] or [[Wikipedia:Article name]] will link to a Wikipedia article. To set up interwiki links, see as well as [15:07:57] ghoulsblade: look for info on "interlangiage links". not sure how much is there, or how good it is. basically, interwiki-prefixes that are language codes are treated magically. [15:09:06] MZMcBride: PING [15:09:19] AzaTht: Does Twinkle rely on JSON callback? [15:09:20] is a list of the default actions documented somewhere? [15:09:24] RoanKattouw: no [15:09:26] Zach: Default actions? [15:09:30] I'm only using xml [15:09:33] AzaTht: Good, 'cause JSON callback is gonna go [15:09:34] like view, edit, delete, watch, etc [15:09:53] Zach: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parameters_to_index.php#Actions [15:09:55] Zach: Search www.mediawiki.org for '" parameters index.php" [15:09:59] Oh :P [15:10:00] 03grondin * r30669 10/trunk/extensions/I18nTags/ (I18nTags.i18n.php I18nTags.php): Add internationalization extension description message in [[Special:Version]] [15:10:08] thanks, i'll look into it =) [15:10:08] RoanKattouw: could it be possible for you to implement some sort of epoch variable? [15:10:41] AzaTht: What would it do? [15:10:51] ok [15:10:53] keep backward compat [15:11:09] thanks to you both [15:11:27] i.e. if an breaking change is introduced, the epoch is increased [15:11:50] Hmm [15:12:12] Well maybe I could add that to action=paraminfo [15:12:19] And do what $wgStyleVersion and friends to [15:12:21] do [15:12:26] Increment it on every breaking change [15:12:42] The problem is, though, that breaking changes only break one module; they don't break everything [15:13:00] For instance, if I break something in prop=langlinks, Twinkle doesn't care [15:13:06] I though more of keeping older epochs [15:13:35] ? [15:13:41] but perhaps thats impossible in reallity [15:14:11] like, if I'm using epoch 2; and you introduce breaking changes in a module I'm using, I will still use the old version [15:14:36] Well what you can do is use action=help&version [15:14:48] It has SVN revision IDs for every module [15:14:54] hmm [15:15:06] but I can't "use" the old revisions [15:16:05] I mean you can check the revids for the modules you're interested in [15:16:15] uh? [15:16:18] However, not every rev will introduce a breaking change :( [15:16:29] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&version [15:16:30] that isn't what I meant [15:16:38] Look for $Id [15:17:28] AzaTht: Can you state what you mean more clearly, then? [15:17:31] I meant the abillity to be not affected by a breaking change [15:17:34] roan.. last question [15:17:44] if possible [15:17:50] Agility: Fire away [15:17:50] If I upgrade from 1.10.1 to 1.11.1, do I have to do all the permissions again too?

[15:18:46] yea [15:18:58] like for http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmtitle=Category:Physics [15:19:11] cmtitle is a newly introduced parameter [15:19:19] It didn't *exist* before "Epoch 1" [15:19:24] yea [15:19:31] But imagine what a mess the code would be [15:19:37] but lets say that was epoch 2 [15:19:39] And how much old code we would have to keep around forever [15:19:50] yea, that what I was afraid of [15:20:07] Just because there's one guy in Evansville, Indiana who refuses to upgrade from Epoch 1 [15:20:11] hehe [15:20:36] 03(FIXED) Filter categorymembers by timestamp - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12944 +comment (10roan.kattouw) [15:20:46] but an epoch could still be useful even if it only warns that a breaking change has been made [15:21:24] but whatever [15:21:28] it was just a thought [15:21:54] as some people gets mad when there isn't a stable stable stable query api stable thingi that is stable like hell [15:22:38] MZMcBride: PING I SAID [15:22:42] Well you know the idea is that breaking changes hardly ever change the behavior of *existing* parameters, but replace them by new parameters (with or without a transition phase) [15:22:53] So you could just use action=paraminfo to see which parameters are supported [15:24:15] when we are talking about trolls anyway, how is the edit api going? [15:24:32] 03siebrand * r30671 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesCbk_zam.php: Change fallback to Spanish [15:24:44] RoanKattouw: and you havn't updated the credits yet [15:24:49] Backing XML up = very important or can I skip that stuff better then do it? [15:25:17] Agility: If you're gonna back up anything, just back up the database [15:25:23] AzaTht: Credits? [15:25:24] ok [15:25:43] the cretits at the bottom of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php [15:25:43] Agility: depends. XML is good for a long term/portable backup. it's also a good idea before upgrading. for a day-to-day backup, it's not so important, or even useful. [15:25:50] it looks bad as it's doing atm [15:26:01] This API is being implemented by Yuri Astrakhan [[User:Yurik]] / @gmail.com [15:26:09] RoanKattouw: XML dumps are quite usefull if you want to be able to use the backup with anything else but your current setup. [15:26:39] Duesentrieb: They don't preserve user data and all that stuff; he's upgrading, so he wants his entire DB backed up [15:27:02] in case of an upgrade, i'd recommend both. [15:27:14] the xml dump is not a replacement of the db backup [15:27:20] it's a useful addition [15:27:42] Agility: becsiacally, if you want to make sure you can restore your site tomorrow, dump the database. if you want to be sure you can access the context next year on some other box, make an xml dump. [15:27:55] when upgrading, i'd say make both. [15:28:04] yes ok [15:28:06] I am upgrading ^^ [15:28:12] and hell I dont want to loose anything [15:28:17] Duesentrieb: nah, just print the content ツ [15:28:24] as lately I had 700-800 edits a day the last month [15:28:36] is there a schema change? [15:28:46] stefw: when isn't there? [15:28:51] true true [15:29:08] *stefw has put off updating for a while not wanting to update schema [15:29:32] minor schema changes are common, but mostly, things are added. [15:29:57] a real structural change hasn't happened since the 1.4 -> 1.5 transition, at least not for important stuff [15:30:21] the only other structural change i'm aware of was the move to using the user_groups table [15:30:33] ok, Mediawiki:Messages doesn't go via tidy? [15:31:05] Duesentrieb: when will "phase 4" be then? [15:31:08] ツ [15:31:21] that will be MediaWiki 2.0 [15:31:22] That'll be when we rewrite the preferences system [15:31:31] Which completely sucks right now [15:31:42] Imagine extensions wanting to add preferences, or the API wanting to access them [15:31:49] Both are pretty much impossible right now [15:31:55] I see [15:32:17] RoanKattouw: adding preferences isn't so hard. Gadgets does it, dynamically even. [15:32:17] Seriously, that's just my little rant [15:32:42] but yes, there are a lot of things that could use a rewrite. [15:32:43] *RoanKattouw looks at SpecialPreferences.php again [15:32:46] we could ditch php, for one thing [15:33:02] Yep [15:33:08] A C/C++ parser [15:33:11] ehh.. the list of new things added in 1.11.1 is located.. not at the main page? [15:33:25] Agility: It's probably linked to from the main page [15:33:29] Release notes [15:34:20] Duesentrieb: Adding preferences requires multiple hooks now, right? [15:34:32] hehe, I see, consider me blind from now on [15:34:35] Ideally, you'd just add a class name to an array like you do with special pages [15:34:40] could write it in .NET [15:34:45] 03(mod) Request for Page namespace - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12877 (10smihael) [15:35:14] 04(REOPENED) Request for Page namespace - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12877 +comment (10smihael) [15:35:15] or reimplement it in ocaml [15:35:41] RoanKattouw: uhm, i don't quite remember, tbh. on for the preference page html, one for storing them, and one for applying them, i guess [15:35:52] Right [15:36:13] Ugly as hell in other words; preferences should just be classes with methods to validate, output form HTML, etc. [15:37:04] RoanKattouw: next job for tim then? [15:37:22] Yeah, that'll keep Tim busy :P [15:37:26] hehe [15:38:09] RoanKattouw: do you know why mikimedia messages doesn't get going via tidy? [15:38:14] as everything else does [15:38:40] we just had a problem with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext [15:38:43] AzaTht: Because they're not supposed to contain HTML? :P [15:38:52] Anyway, don't ask me about parsing, ask Tim [15:38:55] that broke xhtml [15:39:01] tim aint here [15:39:06] you are nex in queue [15:39:25] MZMcBride: get your lusy ass here [15:47:01] hmm [15:47:20] Roan, I just read the full upgrade guide [15:47:26] understand everything but one: [15:47:34] Shell [15:47:35] From the command line, or an SSH shell or similar, change to the maintenance directory and execute the update script: [15:47:35] $ php update.php [15:47:54] where to insert that $ php update.php [15:48:23] or.... just run the file update.php? [15:52:39] Agility, you need a SSH connection to your server, if possible [15:52:50] otherwise you have to run update.php through the browser [15:53:39] update.php is located at.. [15:53:50] wiki/maintanance/? [15:53:54] Agility: Yes [15:54:00] ok [15:54:06] dam this is scary [15:54:14] imagine when I screw up [15:54:14] You need to open a shell, go to that directory and run "php update.php" [15:54:25] Nah, I do it every time there's a schema change on the live code [15:54:38] yes but Im a newb and your not :P [15:55:00] how can i get the fragment of a special page? $wgTitle doesn't include it [15:57:03] run maintanance/update.php, thats the one?

You can install without it, and basic operation will work, but even creating backups or upgrading will be painful without it. Some more involved maintenance tasks may even be impossible.
