[00:22:36] BjornH, MediaWiki does not support this. You might be able to find an extension. [00:22:44] Or maintenance script. [00:23:30] Simetrical, ok, I will search for extension. Also I will look in phpMyAdmin if... [00:23:59] BjornH, you can delete the database rows, yes, but the name/user_id are stored in all sorts of tables. [00:24:20] Hummm, ok.

[10:09:31] like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans%27%27aa (where pagename is run trough wfEscapeWikitext so it doesn't break) [10:10:07] it should just say "bad title" [10:10:11] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Sans%27%27aa isn't very pretty either [10:10:32] and '' is valid in titles as far as I know [10:10:49] it also doesn't mess up links [10:11:04] and it isn't escaped by wfEscapeWikiText [10:11:12] it is [10:11:19] btw where I can read more about {{#timel:}} (just noticed from version that also that function exists)?

[10:25:17] the way it works in the new preprocessor is that template invocations are marked with lineStart if they're at the start of a line, at the parse stage [10:25:30] and the fix was to change {{PAGENAME}} to {{PAGENAMEE}} [10:25:43] then if there's *no* lineStart, and the result text starts with an asterisk, a newline is inserted [10:26:01] at expand time [10:26:15] yes, Splarka, you could use PAGENAMEE everywhere, but still, it's not the way around.

[10:32:39] the newer versions of mediawiki do this on install, but if you have an upgraded wiki, it may still be latin-1 [10:33:17] the main problem with it is that the data is destroyed by a mysqldump/import cycle [10:34:56] *Werdna waves [10:35:13] hi Werdna, how's the study going?

[10:36:09] Focus areas are, therefore, maths (especially ext.2), english, and legal studies [10:36:13] a week and a bit. [10:36:16] tuesday week. [10:36:59] which one is ext.2?

[10:39:06] 4U, when I was doing it, was almost entirely problem-solving style questions [10:39:15] it's a bit of both now [10:39:31] there are the straight textbook-style questions for about 60% of the paper [10:39:41] I did basically the same subject matter in 1st year uni, but it was much much easier [10:39:55] and the other 40% is stuff that you haven't seen before, but which you have sufficient knowledge to solve. [10:39:58] because we only had to know it, not solve crazy problems with it [10:40:26] ive got a problem, ive installed the extension multiupload, but I get an FatalError when i want to upload a picture Fatal error: Call to a member function getTitle() on a non-object in /mnt/web5/20/83/51663183/htdocs/extensions/MultiUpload/SpecialMultipleUpload.php on line 474 [10:40:48] anyway, it would have definitely made a positive contribution to my UAI even though I was bad at it [10:40:54] because it's so aggressively scaled [10:41:18] but I didn't need such a high UAI [10:41:26] well, the candidature is the top 2000 in the state.. [10:41:38] which is about the top 3% [10:41:54] which would correspond to about people who get 98 or above [10:42:21] (if it were to actually represent the top 3% of the state, rather than the top 3% of mathemetics students at schools which offer extension 2. [10:42:51] I need a UAI of either 99.65, if I want to do law, or 88, if I want to do engineering. [10:43:10] but, to be honest, I take the UAI as more of an intellectual challenge than a necessity. [10:43:25] mhm [10:43:39] that depends on what sort of engineering and where, doesn't it? [10:43:40] so, if I were to need 88, I would want to see how close to 100 I could get, anyway. [10:43:54] whatever floats your boat :) [10:43:54] TimStarling: that's the hardest engineering degree to get into, at UNSW. [10:44:13] ("flexible first year" engineering) [10:44:17] I thought software engineering at UNSW was well into the 90s [10:44:17] I think it's the hardest, anyway. [10:44:22] maybe they increased the intake [10:45:24] Oh, here's a harder one to get into [10:45:51] Bachelor of Engineering (Research & Development) / Bachelor of Science at ANU [10:45:54] 98.00 [10:46:18] yeah, you know why they do that? [10:46:33] do what? [10:46:38] it's a little secret that they don't tell you when you're applying for these courses... [10:47:49] "I wanted to utilise my UAI" is a common survey response for how people choose their degree [10:48:31] so the universities sometimes produce a few very similar courses, with different entry requirements [10:48:55] so that the courses with the lower intake, with a highfalutin title, will attract the students with the high UAI [10:49:02] where can i find the php.ini???? [10:49:25] bango: /etc/php [10:49:36] so it's for students who get 98 and then look around for courses that require it [10:49:50] hi [10:50:03] hi domas [10:50:33] i havent got etc [10:50:54] bango: oh, you're on windows? [10:51:05] TimStarling: sillies. [10:51:11] im on my server :D [10:51:26] where my wiki is istalled [10:51:27] don't they know that UAI is a measure of the quality of candidature applying? [10:51:32] bango: right. What OS does it run? [10:52:00] at UNSW they had "science" with a 55 cutoff, and "advanced science" with an 85 cutoff [10:52:12] identical courses, pretty much [10:52:17] yeah, they have that too, except, like, plus 10 for each [10:52:25] but every single person doing physics in my department was doing advanced science [10:52:37] dont know [10:52:38] 85 for "science", 98 for "advanced science" [10:52:44] its extern from a hoster [10:52:47] now this started to annoying me: {{#time: Y-m-d H:i:s}} == {{#timel: Y-m-d H:i:s}} and everything all is also similar: neither one support timestamps over (or under) unix time etc... please somebody enlight me: what is purpose of {{#timel}}? [10:52:53] bango: then you can't edit php.ini [10:53:04] mh [10:54:04] ive got a problem, ive installed the extension multiupload, but I get an FatalError when i want to upload a picture Fatal error: Call to a member function getTitle() on a non-object in /mnt/web5/20/83/51663183/htdocs/extensions/MultiUpload/SpecialMultipleUpload.php on line 474 [10:55:09] bango: where'd you get the extension from? [10:55:39] mediawiki.org [10:55:53] I think if you're choosing a university, you should look at the strength of the research department in the field you're interested in [10:56:04] rather than the entry requirement [10:56:13] mmm [10:56:19] TimStarling: might sound stupid, but what about simply preventing text expanded from magic words from being interpreted in #529 bugfix ? [10:56:31] singeupload works :/ [10:56:54] NicDumZ: maybe [10:57:27] I perfectly understand that you think that something better ought to be written for #529, but I can't find a way through as of now [10:57:32] Werdna: because strong research gives you talented lecturers, and a good path into a PhD [10:58:10] mmhmmmm [10:58:11] even if you don't do a PhD at the same university, it helps to know people who know people [10:58:14] someone recently reminded my education [10:58:27] the lack of it [10:58:30] what education!!!? [10:58:35] ;-) [10:58:44] my brother is one of ones pushing me to get a diploma [10:58:53] though I did his both master and bachelor works for him [10:58:56] meh :) [10:59:02] heh [10:59:08] mark: where are you from again?

[11:00:56] freezing, in fact [11:01:10] *Werdna slaps TimStarling [11:01:41] ugh [11:01:53] here hasn't been real snow in this winter [11:02:12] the big pain is that a lot of the european countries insist working holidays be taken by >18s [11:02:14] domas: believe me, it's *very* hard to get motivated for studies at this point ;) [11:02:29] which sucks, because I don't turn 18 till january [11:03:59] Bah... sed keeps irritating me... [11:06:54] Werdna: France sucks actually. I live there. :þ [11:08:09] :P [11:08:34] domas, not this year you don't come to finland looking for snow, or at least you have to prepare to go way way north in finland to find any... the ground here is bare as a babys bottom... with just a bit of talcum pownder on it for effect. [11:09:36] speaking of snow, I was talking to one of my friends from undergrad last night, first time in 5 years or so [11:09:56] these days she's working on an incredible cloud-seeding experiment in the snowy mountains [11:10:40] it's very cool stuff [11:10:46] in more ways than one [11:11:30] ah. It's been hot the last days here. [11:11:38] No more snow to be seen [11:11:48] And we're in.. march :s [11:12:43] hehe [11:12:50] Sydney is at its nicest in late march to early april.

I have a help section consisting of 10 long pages, on the main help page i'd like to add some "Where you find what" [12:24:45] MONK3000: Not in core, you can't. Someone would have to write an extension for that [12:24:56] {{#includetoc:}} or something (discussed on wikitech-l as well) [12:25:23] oh hi. yeah maybe i should request it ;) [12:26:24] ok if it's discussed by devs already i can wait [12:27:03] there's also the Hierarchy extension. that's quite complex though [12:27:55] Well it's not really being discussed by devs, some other guy requested it on wikitech-l [12:28:24] But he had some crazy idea to use {{:Page}} [12:28:30] Which isn't gonna happen [12:29:03] i don't need it urgently. i can set it up manually, but i can't be arsed to update it when change the content [12:30:04] and yes, Extension:Hierarchy si too much trouble for my little needs [12:32:24] Hi, How can I list all the Templates I have on my wiki? [12:32:38] MrHappy: Special:Allpages, select the template namespace [12:32:49] MrHappy: There's also Special:Mostlinkedtemplates [12:33:13] 1st suggestion worked, thanks. [12:33:28] 2nd also lists how often they're used [12:34:38] 2nd, No such special page. [12:35:40] i think the latter was only added in 1.11 [12:35:49] Ah [12:53:30] 03(NEW) New action parameter that renders js/ css pages via wiki syntax - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13388 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: Page rendering; (yes0song) [12:54:26] I am on 1.10.1 [12:55:06] MrHappy: In that case, you don't have the Special:Mostlinkedtemplates page. To see what it looks like, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Mostlinkedtemplates [12:56:38] is it easy to upgrade to 1.11 ? [12:56:53] Well you might wanna go to 1.12 ;) [12:56:54] the chap who used to look after the system has left. [12:57:07] 1.12.0rc1 is out now, 1.12.0 final shouldn't be long [12:57:12] !upgrade | MrHappy [12:57:12] --mwbot-- MrHappy: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading [12:57:14] and we don't want to break anything by trying to upgrade. it. [12:57:46] used in a busines, so we would go for nice stable versions. [12:58:51] i just upgraded from 1.8.2 to 1.12 after moer than a year. i thought i changed so much to the core data, but it was damn easy [13:00:31] having a read it looks easy. [13:00:56] what about subdirectries [13:01:04] MrHappy: What do you mean? [13:01:11] slash wiki [13:01:28] would I create a wiki1.11 directory [13:01:44] or it would overwrite the current version. [13:01:51] No, you'd just overwrite stuff [13:02:00] nah. just replace the inside files and folders. [13:02:01] hmm, scarey [13:02:18] Since you're in business, we recommend that you backup all your stuff (files, database) before upgrading [13:02:34] hi all, does anyone know how to disable ImageThumbing? [13:02:40] It hardly ever goes wrong, but you don't wanna be screwed by Murphy's Law ;) [13:04:08] i also had no clue but here's how i did. BACK the complete domain incl the database. move everything (except the images folder) inside domain/wiki/... to domain/wikiOLD. upload the new MW content to domain/wiki/ (except images folder). go through the install process [13:04:17] *BACKUP [13:05:01] MONK3000: That's an option, but it can be done even simpler: [13:05:44] Backup all your stuff, extract the tarball inside the wiki directory (overwriting whatever needs to be overwritten), then run "php maintenance/update.php" from the command line [13:05:57] LocalSettings.php is not overwritten [13:06:27] well that was my solution to handle the existing uploaded images but as said i have no clue and waited 1,5 years to upgrade ;) [13:07:51] and i don't use command lines [13:08:07] MONK3000: updating doesn't thouch uploads or existing data. [13:08:09] Because you don't like it or because you don't have shell access? [13:08:27] *Duesentrieb is scared of NOT using command line tools [13:08:34] *RoanKattouw seconds that [13:08:56] It's really not as scary as it sounds, all you have to do is type "php maintenance/update.php" and press Enter [13:09:08] RoanKattouw: good morning. I saw your response to my email to mediawiki-api [13:09:22] Ah [13:09:32] servers backed up every night. [13:09:35] Yeah well if the database is corrupted that's not the API's fault [13:09:47] RoanKattouw: did you look at Tim's comments on the village pump? [13:09:50] Yeah [13:09:55] database is dumped everynight. [13:10:00] Daniel: cos i don't like it. since i change much core data the "real way" by not overwriting existing files won't work? [13:10:20] RoanKattouw: that's why I posted an email instead of filing a bug [13:10:27] The API assumes that everything that's in the database is valid, otherwise it wouldn't've gotten there in the first place. The rest of MW makes that same assumption (look at Special:Whatlinkshere) [13:10:33] so all my existing uploaded files would still be intact [13:10:39] 03(NEW) Browser detection in wikibits.js - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: User interface; (lupo.bugzilla) [13:10:41] along with my images directory.

[13:11:13] sure [13:11:14] RoanKattouw: one thing that would be helpful in the API would be if a single invalid title among a list didn't cause the entire query to fail [13:11:20] that's what the update script takes care of [13:11:34] carl-m: True, we should handle that better (similar to missing titles) [13:11:39] Please file @ BZ [13:11:46] And assign to roan.kattouw@home.nl [13:14:45] another question what does $wg stand for in scripts.

[14:13:05] this is really important... maybe someone could help me with that... if you need my code for the request: http://rafb.net/p/YQYJyn73.html [14:20:44] I tried entering a Summary in wpSummary and it is displayed in the history... only the page content seems to disappear...

[14:39:36] MinuteElectron oh so that if the browser crashes all work isnt lost? [14:39:47] like how it is on gmail? [14:40:04] yes [14:41:51] i dont see it on bugizlla [14:44:50] Bah... AWK's string handling is to limited [14:52:10] hi [14:52:12] {{CURRENTTIME}} [14:52:33] {{CURRENTTIME}} always shows UTC at the Korean Wikipedia; [14:52:45] is there something that can be done so it shows UTC+9? [14:54:03] *twitch* mkay... Doing this much AWK code for something so simple... No thanks, *ditch* [15:02:44] Kjoonlee, is Korean Wikipedia configured to have dates in UTC+9? [15:04:35] Platonides: oops my mistake [15:04:45] Platonides: {{LOCALTIME}} exists for that purpose and it works [15:05:19] Platonides: but then {{{{#time: N}} works in UTC, not UTC+9 [15:05:38] Platonides: it's configured to have dates in UTC+9 by default, yes [15:13:41] ahhhh [15:13:43] {{#time: N | {{LOCALYEAR}}-{{LOCALMONTH}}-{{LOCALDAY}}}} [15:13:45] this works [15:18:43] Hi! I'd like to show the number of (total) page views of the site.. This number is visible in the Special:Statistics page but I'd like to display it in my home page, the code would be similar to this: {{NUMBEROFTOTALVISITS}} [15:19:04] ...but I d'nt remember the exact string [15:19:34] !magicwords | lorenzone92 [15:19:34] --mwbot-- lorenzone92: For more information about creating magic words and their inner workings, see . For a list of magic words, please see . [15:21:46] mmmhh... i can't find it [15:23:07] hello! Is there a way to "undestand" wheter a template is an user talk page a) anon. user b) register user. Is there a variable7funcion that can find out it, for example, from {{FULLPAGENAME}} varibale? [15:25:40] I can't find the magic word that displays all the site visits [15:27:04] lorenzone92, if it's not on that page, it probably doesn't exist. [15:27:42] mmh... but it's displayed in the Special:Statistics page ... [15:29:57] OK... another question.. how can I remove the "retrievedfrom" message? [15:32:49] You could edit its page in the MediaWiki namespace. [15:33:29] mmh... and are you sure that leaving blank that page I'll remove that message? [15:34:20] lorenzone92: you have to save a "empty" version of that page [15:34:23] No, you can't just leave it blank. You have to put something in. But it could be, say, . [15:34:32] Which will produce a space, hopefully. [15:34:51] isn't enought ? [15:34:52] (If entities aren't escaped for that message.) [15:35:00] That might work. [15:35:10] We don't have any standard way to do this at present, which is silly. [15:35:15] A blank message falls back to the default. [15:36:00] OK, thanks.. but when is that message dispayed? Because Google has crawled my pages and in the search appears "Retrieved from.." and it's horrible! :P [15:36:43] I haven't understood where it's displayed, because it's only in the source of the page [15:37:14] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13288 : any idea ? {{PAGENAME}} text is being wfEscapeWikiText, so ' is converted into its html entity, ' . And when calling {{urlencode: on this, ' is (again) escaped ... [15:37:41] lorenzone92, it might be only displayed for non-CSS-enabled readers, like Google, which can't see the logo, etc. [15:37:47] Check page source. [15:37:56] thanks [15:38:01] wfEscapeWikiText sucks. [15:38:13] yes. :s [15:41:57] I've another BIG problem (with my hosting provider).. When I upload a new image it's displayed properly.. But when I add it as a thumb (for example 200px) the file created isn't owned by me (user FTP) but by 'apache' (the hosting's user)... so I can't change the CHMODs (default to 644) and the image it's not displayed (I can't delete too). I tried to contact my hosting but they said it's a problem of a bad developed MediaWiki's sc [15:42:48] :( [15:46:55] lorenzone92, well, yes. That's inevitable. If a program running as Apache creates a file, you can't touch it. [15:47:29] lorenzone92, you can still delete files owned by others in your directories. [15:47:36] But not directories owned by others in your directories. [15:47:47] So, I can't display images on my wiki? :P [15:47:57] You can't delete the images using FTP. [15:48:08] Wait a minute, what? [15:48:15] If MediaWiki created it, it can read it. [15:48:24] And change it. [15:48:27] 644 is fine in that case. [15:48:38] It only needs to be 666 if it's owned by you, so that Apache can change it. [15:48:43] If it's owned by Apache, 644 is fine. [15:49:49] But the thumb isn't displayed anyway.... [15:50:08] Are you sure it's a permissions error? [15:52:30] when I moved my site from my old hosting and I re-uploaded my MediaWiki's files, they worked.. The new uploaded files aren't displayed. My old files are owned by me, the new files are owned by 'apache', but it's strange because MediaWiki is manage only by ME, why that files are attribuited to 'apache'? [15:53:48] because your web server runs as that user [15:53:54] and it's the web server that handles uploading the files [15:54:26] mmh.. so it's a MediaWiki error.. it's not so "logical".. [15:54:27] :P [15:55:16] the owner of the files is not an error, it's how things work [15:55:22] files are owned by the user who creates them [15:55:44] and how can i run MediaWiki as my ftp user and not as 'apache'? [15:56:03] lorenzone92, MediaWiki is a script that's being executed by an httpd process. That process is not running as root and cannot choose to save files as anything *but* the apache user. [15:56:21] lorenzone92, you can't unless you can persuade your host to do that, which on a shared host you can't. [15:56:23] lorenzone92: this sounds like shared hosting, so the most likely answer is you can't [15:56:32] the easiest way is to use fastcgi and run the php fastcgi process as that user [15:56:51] and how can i do that? :P [15:57:01] flyingparchment, still doesn't work too well for thousands of mostly-inactive users per server, since you'd have to spawn them all the time or keep hundreds idle continuously. [15:57:21] Simetrical: right. so 'you can't' is still the most likely answer ;) [15:57:30] It would be neat if you could have some root parent process setuid idle children or something instead of having to spawn new ones.

Have you chmodded the entire contents of the images folder (the part that you *can* chmod) 777? [16:08:07] yea [16:08:08] lorenzone92, the permissions on the parts you can't chmod shouldn't be a problem. [16:08:08] yes [16:08:29] i've chmodded all my /images dir to 777 [16:08:30] lorenzone92, sure? What are the permissions on images/, images/public/, images/public/f/, images/public/f/fd/? [16:08:36] You did all the subdirectories too? [16:09:36] yes, all except the directory of the uploaded files (because they are owned by 'apache) [16:09:43] 03(NEW) XML pretty-printer triple-escapes < and > inside tags - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13392 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: API; (roan.kattouw) [16:10:01] triple escapes hmmm [16:10:37] So for example for the file 'file.png' the directory images/thumb/5/55/File.png/ is owned by 'apache' [16:10:56] lorenzone92, and the permissions on each of the directories is what? [16:11:11] I don't believe that they're all 777, otherwise you wouldn't have this problem. :) [16:11:45] for the directory i don't own (so also /file.png in the example) the chmod are 644 [16:11:50] and i can't change them [16:12:11] (sorry for my english :D) [16:12:40] lorenzone92, yes, but what about images/deleted/, for instance? What are the ownership and permission bits on that? [16:12:42] Nikerabbit: < becomes &amp;lt [16:12:53] RoanKattouw, impressive. [16:12:54] ; [16:12:54] lorenzone92: can't you chmod -r 777 images/ ?

[16:15:09] deleted/f/ is 777 [16:15:30] is there something like MediaWiki:Anontalkpagetext , but that will be desplayed a the *top* of anon user's talk pages? [16:15:46] is it enough to call disableCache() when my tag extension returns dynamic content? [16:16:08] lorenzone92, how about deleted/t/, deleted/t/d/? [16:17:01] deleted/t/ is 777, deleted/t/d/ is 755 [16:17:29] lorenzone92, and who owns deleted/t/d/? [16:18:20] 'apache' ....... [16:18:44] so I can't even delete that dir [16:19:52] lorenzone92, okay, so something funny is going on. [16:19:54] is there a way to use extension tags in the mediawiki:sidebar? [16:20:11] yawn: I don't know [16:20:12] apache claimed it was unable to create a new directory in deleted/t/d/, but it owns it and has +x, according to you. [16:20:43] yawn: You do know that MediaWiki:Sidebar expects message names, right? (i.e. foo refers to MediaWiki:Foo) Maybe you could use extension tags in MediaWiki:Foo ? [16:20:49] So that's implausible. [16:20:57] Something wrong here. [16:21:07] Like Apache not consistently running under the same user, something stupid like that. [16:21:11] Or I'm missing something. [16:22:04] mmmh... [16:22:58] contacting the hosting support they told me it was a MediaWiki error.... don't know... [16:23:14] lorenzone92, everyone tells people in support that it's the other guy's fault. [16:23:22] true :P [16:23:31] Especially if they're being paid by the hour. [16:23:40] hhaha [16:23:49] See, I'm doing this because I feel like it, I don't mind helping out with a little server-permissions stuff too. [16:23:55] No difference to me. [16:23:57] Roan: hmm, no idea, really [16:24:01] Ask them what MediaWiki should do instead, if they're so smart. [16:24:18] Roan: basically i like to use sth. like which generates a link to a special today page [16:24:39] yawn: When you do *recentchanges|recentchanges-url it substitutes "recentchanges" with the contents of MediaWiki:recentchanges [16:25:11] So maybe use *today|today-url and put in MediaWiki:today-url [16:25:41] Oh sorry, switch foo and foo-url around in my examples [16:25:50] mmh.. there's another strange thing.. if i try to upload an image called errore.png i receive the error: Could not rename file "/tmp/phpYRkUUz" to "public/f/fd/Errore.png". but when I tried to upload a file called Ninfee.jpg it has been uploaded properly [16:26:48] lorenzone92, should I ask you to tell me the permissions of public/{,f/,f/fd/}? :) Who knows. [16:26:58] Hmm, maybe they're running PHP in safe mode. [16:27:04] yes they do [16:27:14] That optionally has restrictions on what files you can access. [16:27:17] That makes sense, of course. [16:27:20] Roan: *today-url includes the mediawiki page? [16:27:28] Now I remember. Should have thought of this before. [16:27:36] yawn: It includes MediaWiki:today-url , yes [16:27:46] Scripts aren't allowed to read files not owned by the script's owner. [16:27:56] Crazy restrictive, not really any way to help it. [16:28:01] That I know of, anyway. [16:28:12] Except to make all the scripts and other filesowned by Apache. :D [16:28:29] Which you can't do [16:28:38] Why not? [16:28:39] They said they can't remove the php safe mode............ [16:28:46] Yeah, they usually don't let you. [16:29:03] Maybe they can chown the right directories to apache? [16:29:50] mmh.. is there a workaround? :P [16:30:40] Roan: can i include the content without generating a link? [16:30:51] lorenzone92, if there is, Googling should tell it to you. [16:30:57] Roan: i basically just want the result of the tag evaluation [16:31:07] I think the usual workaround is to store everything in the database, but I don't think MW supports that for images. [16:31:10] Not that I've seen. [16:31:16] yawn: I understand, but I don't think it's possible [16:31:33] Roan: so i have to hack the skin, right?

[16:38:48] and then we can stop using it [16:38:53] someone :þ [16:50:47] How does one set the title of a special page to a specific system message. The default system message used isn't useful. [16:51:18] ugh? [16:51:30] do you want to change the title? [16:51:49] MinuteElectron: There is a SpecialPage member function somewhere [16:51:53] !c SpecialPage [16:51:53] --mwbot-- I don't know anything about "c". You might try: !adminsettings !bizzwiki !centralauth !cms !csshideheader !debug !dpl !dumphtml !extranamespace !feeds !gnu !imagemagic !install !interwiki !ldap !renameuser !rewriteproblems !smtp !threads !webrequest [16:51:59] !class SpecialPage [16:51:59] --mwbot-- See http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/classSpecialPage.html [16:52:27] well, I have a Special:AddTable which is listed as in Special:Specilpages, but I'd like it to use MediaWiki:datatool-addtable as it's message. [16:52:29] $wgOut->setPageTitle( $this->getDescription() ); [16:52:30] Ok, will do. [16:52:43] MinuteElectron: Either override SpecialPage::getDescription() [16:52:48] Nikerabbit: I used that, but that doesn't alter the listing on Special:Specialpages. [16:53:08] MinuteElectron: Never mind the 'either'. Just override getDescription() [16:53:16] MinuteElectron: override detDescription then [16:53:22] hmm, ok [16:53:27] :D [16:53:39] Surely there should be some parameter or function for this though :\ [16:54:18] as i'm going to end up doing this several times [16:54:25] MinuteElectron: Yes, there is, and you've found it [16:54:37] function getDescription() { return wfMsg('whatever'); } [16:54:44] RoanKattouw: meh, stupid solution. [16:55:06] No it's not, you're subclassing SpecialPage anyway [16:55:11] There should be a paramater to the special page constructor or a $this->setDescription function. [16:55:15] And default behavior is to use the addtable message [16:55:26] ok [16:55:28] Well maybe, but this works equally well [16:55:46] Not necesserily, it requires more code and is counter intuitive. [16:56:55] domas, you out there? [16:58:14] It makes more sense to override methods as needed than to shove everything into the constructor arguments. [16:59:02] Stuff like what the description is should be fixed in the particular special page's class, not open for changing by callers.

A basic "card" one, which contains a title, image, frame and specialized ones that "subclass" card and place more stuff on the card [18:05:52] So basically I want something like {{card|content="Include to another Template here, probably with parameters"}} [18:06:01] MONK3000: What do you wanna put in that array? [18:06:26] another namespace ;) [18:06:30] Blafasel: ok, that's fine. You put {{{content}}} into Template:card where that data should be inserted [18:06:46] MONK3000: In which array do you want to put it? [18:06:49] sth like $wgTitle->getNamespace()==array(NS_MAIN, NS_HELP) && [18:06:54] carl-m: Did that. The problem is passing it. ;) [18:07:01] huh? [18:07:08] what goes wrong? [18:07:11] MONK3000: That's impossible: how can one title be in both the Main and Help namespaces? [18:07:27] Does anyone know of a way to add a toolbar button in the edit page through an extension (as in not modifying mediawiki source)? [18:07:36] Roan: ah i see. so an if? [18:07:47] carl-m: As soon as content is a table to includes | etc. it fails (tried with {{{!}}} as well..). And I'd even like to pass {{contentTemplate|otherParam="foo"}} if possible [18:08:05] Blafasel: yes, that's possible [18:08:07] Roan: this is the code section: http://rafb.net/p/kLwsSC40.html [18:08:11] MONK3000: if(in_array($wgTitle->getNamespace(), array(NS_MAIN, NS_HELP))) [18:08:30] carl-m: Great. I'm probably missing a good way to escape the parameters, though? [18:08:30] Blafasel: one thing you can do to make tables easier is to just use HTML syntax for them (you have to enable the HTML tags for it) [18:09:00] then you don't have to try to escape all the | symbols [18:09:05] Hmm.. Good point [18:09:25] otherwise, you have the e4scaping issue and the issue that tables are whitespace sensitive [18:10:09] You guys know about {{!}} right (with two { signs, not three) [18:10:12] andrew`: with the SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec hook by accessing $tpl->data['nav_urls'] [18:10:22] You also need to create Template:! for that [18:10:32] RoanKattouw: he said he tried it, I assume that means he has the template [18:10:48] ialex: thanks i'll look into that [18:10:54] Well IIRC, {{!}} shouldn't work in this scenario [18:11:11] {{foo|param={{bar|baz=2}}|param2=blah}} [18:11:35] Should work correctly IIRC. Only | symbols related to tables need to be "escaped" as {{!}} [18:12:17] I think you're right, that the | in template parameters can be uncovered while parsing other templates; would have to double check though [18:12:24] !! can't !! [18:12:24] --mwbot-- I don't know anything about "!". You might try: !blankpage !credit !css !dataja !export !footer !help !iframe !images !import !install !mwbot !namespaces !parserfunctions !passwordsql !shorturl !test !welcome !wg !wikibugs [18:12:30] sorry [18:12:36] can't be uncovered [18:13:20] {{!}} used to work in that scenario too, but that was a bug which has now been fixed with the new preprocessor [18:14:28] Hmm..

[18:53:19] zarath76, XML dumps are not meant to be used as backups. They only contain stuff like articles. [18:53:33] zarath76, G_SabinoMullane might be able to help you. [18:53:54] hmm [18:54:15] there is a "convert MySQL to PG" script in the source code but a comment in that basically says use the XML dump instead [18:54:28] it seems to have copied everything I need except the user accounts [18:55:49] domas, are you around? When rebuilding a summary table, should I use LOCK IN SHARE MODE or just let it be inconsistent? [18:55:58] (He probably auto-rejoined, oh well.) [18:56:04] I may just try the mediawiki_mysql2postgres.pl script I guess [18:56:37] how can i obtain a list of all pages that end with "ware" in wikipedia? [18:57:24] windopain, database dump.

[18:59:57] Not good for performance. [19:00:05] windopain: Regexes, suffixes, anything that's not exact matching or prefix matching isn't really supported efficiently by the database [19:00:05] hi [19:00:15] People on the toolserver could run a query to check, it would just take forever. [19:00:33] Because the toolserver runs like a snail that's overdosed on sleeping pills.

Would take maybe ten seconds to a minute on the main server. [19:05:06] Yes, and the page table is what, 20 million rows? [19:05:12] 5 million articles [19:05:22] Most of which are probably not in memory? [19:05:27] according to toolserver, that is, 5 million pages in namespace 0 [19:05:42] Wait, you have toolserver access and you're asking this? Why don't you just run the query? [19:05:52] hey folks. is there a good way to list all users who have never authored any content? [19:05:56] Simetrical:, RoanKattouw: I see. Guess I need to appreciate the size of the database to understand. [19:06:03] Oh, wait, you're a different person. [19:06:05] No wonder. [19:06:09] windopain: wait a miinute and I'll run the query [19:06:12] I'll run it on the toolserver, if it doesn't take forever. [19:06:15] Or no, carl-m will. [19:06:21] let's not both run it [19:06:47] carl-m: well, i don't *need* it... was just wondering how it would be done. if it's no problem i am interested in the results though :) [19:07:07] kblin: Not really [19:07:09] windopain: there are two ways to do it - get a database dump, or find someone to run a db query on the toolserver. [19:07:19] http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Paul_G#Types_of_-ware_in_computing i think this list was pretty-much giving me what i was looking for but i'm not sure how complete it is [19:07:29] windopain: do you want redirects, too, or just main articles?

[19:13:02] windopain: for the record, you should ask these things in #wikimedia-tech or #wikimedia-toolserver, just to keep this channel on topic [19:13:07] the data is at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~cbm/ware.txt [19:13:39] the query took 1m9s [19:14:06] So a lot faster than I thought. [19:14:26] That's why I asked - I thought it would be reasonable to run [19:16:03] Well, on the main servers an index scan of just a couple hundred thousand categorylinks rows for COUNT(*) takes ~5 s. [19:16:17] kblin: no easy way without db access, and wikimedia doesn't publish the dumps of that table [19:16:17] So I figured this would not only be more rows, it would also have to check a where clause. [19:16:34] Which table? [19:16:45] We publish the dumps of the page table, that has page_is_redirect. [19:17:00] The redirect table is also published, just it's incomplete, since it's incomplete on the servers themselves. [19:17:12] Simetrical: he was looking for a list of users with 0 edits [19:17:47] hi everyone [19:17:47] carl-m: I've got access to the db, so that's not an issue. I'm just not really into databases [19:17:47] Oh, wrong person again. [19:17:49] Dammit. [19:17:49] carl-m: thanks... made a note of the other channels. [19:18:16] can someone tell me how to put an internal link to a cathegory in the middle of an article? [19:18:16] kblin, SELECT user_name FROM user WHERE user_editcount = 0; would probably work.

Maybe it's the transactions [19:20:28] carl-m, what do transactions have to do with it? [19:20:35] Main DB is definitely faster than toolserver. [19:21:21] yes, it should be much faster [19:22:43] carl-m: thanks, there's many on there i don't have on my original list [19:23:27] no problem [19:26:02] 03(NEW) MediaWiki ouput XHTML 1.1 instead of 1.0 Transitional - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13396 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Page rendering; (oldakquill) [19:26:49] 03(mod) On paged categories, article totals and subcat totals are incorrect - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212 +comment (10Simetrical+wikibugs) [19:27:02] 03siebrand * r32040 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/ (47 files): Localisation updates for core messages from Betawiki (2008-03-16 20:06 CET) [19:27:13] I saw you can have text loaded into a textarea by a link on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload - is that possible for articles?

I'm trying to use the perl script now but I ran into some problems. is the target PG database supposed to be empty or no? [20:00:14] Hey all. So what's wild, woolly and new in the wonderful world of MediaWiki? [20:00:47] And when's 1.13 going to be available to the rest of us? [20:00:55] there is no 1.13 [20:01:03] you can download sv head if you want, which is what will become 1.13 [20:01:47] Sasoriza: do you mean 1.12? [20:01:54] No 1.13...? 1.13alpha (r31998)? [20:02:03] Sasoriza, anyone can get 1.13 from SVN. [20:02:05] that is svn head [20:02:06] G_SabinoMullane, the first problem I ran into was the 2nd TRUNCATE TABLE line fails b/c of no semicolon on previous. once I fixed that, I got errors about constraints preventing dropping individual tables. [20:02:07] oh, yeah, then /trunk [20:02:12] The final version will probably be in three months or so. [20:02:16] In theory. [20:02:19] heh [20:02:21] Although the last was much longer. [20:03:37] Besides, flyingparchment, my question was, when's 1.13 going to be available to the rest of us? Not, is there a 1.13 already [20:03:51] what does 'the rest of us' mean? it's not available to anyone, because it doesn't exist [20:04:02] (svn head calls itself 1.13alpha, because that's what it will become) [20:04:23] zarath76: That script has not been maintainted in a while. I'll fix up the truncate line, and anything else I can find. [20:05:27] G_SabinoMullane, cool, thanks. I'm not sure but does it handle the FK constraints correctly? in terms of disabling FK's temporarily while inserting [20:06:15] Well it should, but please report any problems you encounter via bugzilla. [20:06:46] G_SabinoMullane, and is it meant to run against an empty new database, or one that has already had the MW install run to setup the schema [20:06:46] Simetrical: Thanks.

Thanks in advance for your reponses. [20:08:33] zarath76: I think the former, but it's been a long time. [20:09:01] We obviously need a better system to just slurp in the non-xml stuff. [20:09:27] yea my ideal would be a flag on dumpBackup.php that added the users [20:09:39] what else might I be missing besides users if I just used the XML file? [20:09:45] I feel like doing something totally radical with MW. Any ideas?

[20:21:49] XDS : match ? what do you mean ??? they are not even on the same content [20:22:00] I need the pages to match NicDumZ , so i can fill in the new page with new content [20:22:07] oh yes they are [20:22:23] NicDumZ have you got any another idea left? :D [20:22:38] ok so we understand each other at least ?

But... the templates are not being transcluded, for some reason [20:25:32] Funny thing is NicDumZ , if i only copy the "Operating Systems" section , and then fill in the information for the templates , it works partially .

[20:42:10] XDS: What do you mean ? [20:42:33] Hey, XDS, NicDumZ... just curious... what's the problem there? Slow-loading page? [20:42:47] ask for help on wikipedia ?

[20:52:20] ahh i see the dillema [20:52:29] mkay, it'd be nice if the next tab-stop was the search box? [20:52:32] Nikerabbit: Yeah, something like that would help for extensions [20:52:37] just a sec [20:52:38] I filled in all the info on the templates correctly , i believe [20:52:45] for now, I need some way to not die when they are not given [20:52:58] btw, why does RCL group by everything? [20:53:24] XDS: You did, as previewing works fine [20:53:32] hm how can i edit , etc in the table text - cause its encrypted there :( [20:54:03] damnit , i can't preview shit [20:54:18] what are you previewing btw ? [20:55:16] what are you using to specify sortable? where's your stylesheet? [20:55:32] Nikerabbit: hmm, loadFromCurRow() just needs tweaking I guess [20:55:42] hmm? [20:55:52] I haven't looked that part of code lately [20:56:14] not since I made CleanChanges :o [20:56:33] XDS: I'm looking at this: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Comparison_of_Dual_XXXSim#Reading [20:56:46] Just curious: Would it be possible to have a "create from template" link, without the need of the users to copy/recall the template parameters? [20:56:46] And I see what you mean, it's acting funky [20:58:31] yeah well im a f*cking asshole Sasoriza [20:58:51] I need a place to put this info in the hands of a 3rd party [20:59:16] Does anyone here run a 100% fully public wiki other than wikipedia ? [21:00:12] 03aaron * r32045 10/trunk/phase3/includes/RecentChange.php: Load extra RC fields [21:00:20] grrrr [21:00:31] 03(mod) Browser detection in wikibits.js - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389 +comment (10Bryan.TongMinh) [21:00:44] wrong version [21:01:46] XDS: The table content won't show for you, or the format? [21:01:59] the formatting . [21:02:15] Sasoriza: the formating [21:02:22] 03aaron * r32046 10/trunk/phase3/includes/RecentChange.php: r32045 committed from wrong working branch. Revert and commit the one I wanted. [21:03:11] ok question. [21:03:33] Is there a page somewhere that shows the hosting requirements of a private wiki server ? [21:03:42] I know that sounds like an oxy moron [21:04:13] XDS: Without looking at your stylesheet, my instinctive guess is to say, it's class="wikitable sortable" that's overriding it [21:05:43] umm Sasoriza you may be correct , but my instincts tell me that the sorting feature is working correctly , do you agree ? [21:06:25] Sasoriza: the layout is fine. The thing is, {{yes}} change the colors. [21:07:15] what about changing them all to just one enclosure ({}) each ? [21:09:12] I'm wondering if that {{{style|}}} is messing it up [21:16:09] Hmm. Well I copied it to my wiki and it shows up right for me. [21:20:25] @all , im going to try and duplicate the page on wikipedia itself [21:20:36] Sasoriza: no shit ? [21:20:45] link? [21:21:02] here's the content thats going in there........ [21:21:09] http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Comparison_of_XXXSim [21:23:43] XDS, the page *is* working on wikipedia [21:23:48] Werdna, are you here? I need someone to review my patch. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212 [21:24:01] My, uh, 33.03 KB, 971-line patch. [21:24:46] Simetrical: your patch has good form but lacks imagination in its execution [21:25:04] 03aaron * r32047 10/trunk/phase3/includes/Article.php: Might as well show username here if allowed [21:25:48] Was that a reference to something? [21:26:08] nothing in particular [21:26:17] hehe [21:34:48] Sasoriza: ? [21:34:59] Did you copy it to your wiki ? [21:35:39] 03(mod) Whitelist ISO/IEC 26300 (OpenDocument) file format - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2089 summary (10rmh) [21:36:48] XDS: yeah, but I deleted it already [21:37:13] thought you were going to try it on wpedia [21:38:07] it looks to me like either a problem in your css stylesheet, or that open-ended ref-num [21:42:45] Simetrical: How about a cat_page field that contains the page_id of the category (or NULL if it doesn't have a page ID( [21:42:51] i'm going to guess its a problem with the ref-num [21:43:20] I think i may have stoopidly copied the wrong ref-num style sheet [21:43:39] but even that wouldn't make sense , seeing that seems to be working properly [21:44:36] are you specifying the {{{style|}}} (in Template:No)? [21:45:10] actually, no, that shouldn't be it either [21:45:35] you've got something else on that page that's open-ending your ref-num brackets [21:47:17] so its something that _shouldn't_ be there ? [21:47:27] hrm. [21:48:15] or something in the wrong place, but I don't see it on the page itself [21:48:59] hrm. i have another idea [21:49:18] Could it be that the original page is part of a higher god ? [21:49:28] Like categories ? [21:49:51] And there is/are templates within the hierarchy ? [21:49:58] that are missing ? [21:50:42] its highly unlikely but its possible [21:58:17] Is this the right channel to ask why is appearing to break in Firefox? [21:58:27] XDS: Which user are you? [21:58:50] Test? [21:59:24] Azu: what do you mean by "break"? [22:00:00] hi [22:00:16] the image borders are extending outside of where they should [22:01:01] and in some cases simply not forming on the right side of the box [22:01:18] Azu, on Commons? [22:01:29] XAVIER [22:01:45] er [22:01:51] Sasoriza: XAVIER [22:01:53] no, on a private wiki [22:02:22] ahm, On commons there's a javascript which could be affecting your gallery display [22:03:01] http://www.digworld.com/azu/gallerybreak1.PNG [22:03:03] See what I mean? [22:03:33] Azu: a link to a live example would be more helpful than a screenshot [22:03:44] hah [22:03:53] http://cmwp.com/wiki/Japan_Time#Japan_Time_the_Movie:_The_Game:_The_Friend_Codes [22:07:32] Sasoriza: i think i copied the wrong ref-num template [22:08:18] Azu: no idea off-hand, but i'd try if removing the templates changes anything [22:10:16] Azu: Might be the widths you have in Template:SSBB Profile vs. 89px in the gallery [22:10:42] http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Template:Ref_num <~ THIS maybe wrong [22:10:47] can't even tell [22:10:53] but anyway... [22:11:08] http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Template:"templatename" , is where the templates are [22:11:45] But now they are not showing up as editable values like they where before [22:11:46] XDS: What are you trying to do? [22:12:29] So i can't even see them when i go to http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Comparison_of_Dual_XXXSim&action=edit [22:13:00] MZMcBride: get http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Comparison_of_Dual_XXXSim to match http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_archivers [22:13:18] So i can use the template for the following information.......... [22:13:29] http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Comparison_of_XXXSim [22:14:02] You need to copy Template:Yes, Template:No, and install Cite.php.

[22:17:58] still some funky stuff happening with the "?" and the cli [22:18:01] ..stuff [22:18:13] thank goodness it works tho [22:18:24] *applause* [22:18:34] Now i need to migrate the data from ............ [22:18:45] http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Comparison_of_XXXSim [22:18:51] Into that new format [22:19:09] without loosing my mind :) [22:19:24] shouldn't be too hard... we learn by doing [22:19:56] Sasoriza: after looking at code for to long you start to loose focus [22:20:12] ( literally my eyes are failing ) [22:20:23] guess it depends on the person... try taking a break, get some caffeine in your system [22:20:33] or get some rest and go back to it later [22:21:11] yeah [22:21:12] me, whenever I walk away from the PC, the stuff haunts me... I can't stop thinking about it [22:21:30] same here [22:23:04] so you want this page http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Comparison_of_XXXSim to look like this one http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Comparison_of_XXXSim&oldid=38567 ? [22:27:51] how long you been looking at code xds? [22:29:51] omg , i don't even remember [22:30:00] atleast the last 48 hours [22:30:20] ahh i don't think i'd last much over 12-16 [22:30:56] no prob jumping right back on it after sleep but i'd be making more mistakes than anything at 48 lol [22:35:08] XDS: Are you working on that now? If you want to take a break, I'll work up a copy and put it on your talk page. [22:36:45] Sasoriza: copy of what ? [22:37:07] copy of the old 38567 page ? [22:40:30] the one you're trying to do, reformatted [22:43:16] ok that be good [22:43:23] i guess [22:43:39] Just want to make sure where on the same page , as to what content is going to be used [22:44:19] I would also like to put a shipping calculator in their somehow at a later point. [22:44:45] Maybe make prices be put on a completely separate table. [22:45:20] you're doing the table under General Information? [22:47:03] or Operating System Support? [22:50:24] RoanKattouw_away> Simetrical: How about a cat_page field that contains the page_id of the category (or NULL if it doesn't have a page ID( <-- Why? More things to keep consistent. You can do a join on the cat_title. [22:54:16] Sasoriza: Gen. [22:54:39] Well , not sure what you mean Sasoriza [22:54:51] But the title should be General Information [23:00:51] XDS: I left a message on your talk page, we can continue discussing it there as necessary [23:03:20] going now Sasoriza [23:04:35] Sas-away: you did it [23:04:50] we owe you one man :) [23:04:50] ! [23:06:28] cool [23:07:21] *Simetrical uses Stirling's approximation on XDS [23:11:06] *Sas-away wishes it was always that easy [23:27:43] 03(mod) Magic word for number of items in a category - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6943 (10Simetrical+wikibugs) [23:46:32] 03(NEW) Add bot generated spam reports on enwiki to robots.txt - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13398 15enhancement; normal; Wikimedia: General/Unknown; (mrzmanwiki)
