[00:00:17] should work with .php too [00:01:05] matthew: however you would navigate to a wiki page. i.e., if you would go to www.domain.tld/wiki/Help:Contents for Help:Contents, enter the url "www.domain.tld/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css" then press edit. [00:01:23] so it's in the database the same as any normal wiki-article [00:02:01] the MediaWiki namespace is a pretty cool place (Editable only by sysops), go to Special:allmessages to view all the default values of the default pages in the namespace,it's pretty fun. :) [00:02:09] MrZ-man: so you believe the problem is because the htaccess file is not in the root, but in /example.com/ ?

[00:15:29] I guess I should change '8' to '3' or something, huh? [00:18:29] A single vertical column would be nice. [00:18:48] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Image:New_Userrights_interface_-_Columned_based_on_settability.jpg [00:18:52] this is current [00:18:55] I always get confused by tables of checkboxes where it's not obvious if you're supposed to read top to bottom or left to right first. [00:18:57] except for <8 rights [00:19:05] Why are you using JPG? :( [00:19:13] *Werdna hides [00:19:33] It artifacts for stuff like this and looks ugly, plus it's bigger.

[00:30:07] i was also thinking about whether we should integrate the group page links onto the check labels [00:30:16] oh yeah [00:30:17] good idea [00:30:24] maybe just ditch the 'member of' line [00:31:33] gotta run in a few minutes, errands to run on the way home [00:31:39] that line's gone now. [00:31:44] woo [00:32:30] and the groups are linked [00:32:40] and the other column displays 'None' if it's empty.

[01:43:22] yes, APRIL FOOLS [01:43:28] sorry Werdna if I scared you [01:44:00] lame. [01:44:17] i haven't had any opportunities to pull one all day until now. :( [01:45:15] and it's too late to do so now. [01:46:35] it's still April 1 for me, 9:50 PM. dunno what timezone you're in. [01:48:40] that's what CTCP TIME is for [01:49:32] -Dashiva- TIME Central European Time, GMT +1. Do the math yourself. [01:49:43] interesting... [01:49:58] TimStarling: try version. [01:50:33] Smaug: you have to do april fools day gags before 5pm though, check the enwp article... [01:51:11] april fools day on the internet goes for 48 hours [01:51:22] whether you like it or not [01:52:03] it's gotten longer since september started. [02:04:36] what is enwp? [02:04:45] kylu: sry, i was gone for a bit [02:04:50] English Wikipedia [02:05:03] sorry, habit. [02:07:04] i'm in the article and not finding the reference to 5 PM [02:07:09] but i take your word for it [02:10:22] well if i can't do april fool's jokes, i guess i'll go to sleep [02:10:25] goodbye [02:10:31] g'night.

[02:20:04] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5241.txt [02:20:06] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5242.txt [02:20:40] Werdna: meh, I liked the form before [02:21:31] I'm still waiting for them to implement the evilbit standard [02:21:52] I like the pigeons one best, because it was actually implemented. [02:21:59] People need to implement more April Fool's RFCs. [02:22:37] TimStarling: can you review bug 13459? [02:22:52] I'm thinking another table may be best [02:23:36] Oh, there's a mention of the evil bit in RFC 5241. :) [02:25:02] Hmm, is RFC 5242 an April Fool's RFC or is it coincidence? [02:26:17] . . . April Fool's, I guess. [02:28:24] *Simetrical doesn't really get it [02:28:57] domas: how is the Oracle migration goin eh? [02:29:02] Question: How do I install Userip? [02:29:14] ^ [02:32:26] BoL, what's "Userip"? [02:33:05] Checkuser doesn't work for me, unfortunately, everytime I try to install it something else exists and when I write the thing on LocalSettings.php, it doesn't work [02:33:09] so I'm trying to use Userip [02:33:20] AaronSchulz: there seems to be a whole lot of stuff in that patch that's unrelated to the bug [02:33:27] which happened to possibly be writtened by you... [02:33:30] BoL, never heard of it. It's not an official extension, AFAIK. Ask the author, not us. [02:33:35] Is it? [02:33:46] Maybe I was fixing up whitespace or similar. [02:33:46] it's the predecessor to checkuser [02:33:49] *Simetrical looks in repo [02:33:56] TimStarling: some of it is just the rest of rev_deleted that I haven't merged [02:34:16] Hmm, there's a Userip, yep. It should probably be considered unmaintained and obsolete. I've never looked at it. [02:34:17] yeah... [02:34:35] is that a branch? [02:35:14] huh [02:35:47] TimStarling: no [02:35:59] though there is some obsolete branch somewhere [02:36:26] TimStarling: well defaultsettings.php, logpage.php, and splog.php should have the gist [02:36:51] Simetrical: userip? Haven't heard of that in a while [02:36:55] DefaultSettings.php looks wrong to me, I don't see why you need to add any groups or rights [02:37:16] surely that belongs in the setup code for the oversight extension [02:37:55] 'oversight' should be called 'suppress' [02:38:03] and in the core [02:38:11] why? [02:38:13] that's what rev_deleted is for [02:38:19] rev_deleted is not an extension [02:38:40] yes, but it's a quick way to refer to functionality which is partially implemented [02:38:41] is there a UI for it in the core? [02:38:48] yes [02:38:56] which works? [02:39:12] yes, specialrevisiondelete.php [02:39:20] been in there for a while [02:39:41] Tietew or some guy started it [02:41:03] so what is it about this patch that I'm actually meant to be reviewing? [02:41:42] the method of restricted log types [02:41:49] should it also use a separate table? [02:42:46] a separate table containing what? [02:42:51] Werdna: I liked the checkbox rows :( [02:43:01] TimStarling: the log items for restricted logs [02:43:12] the suppression one being the first restricted log [02:43:25] which is for things hidden from sysops [02:43:32] AaronSchulz: as in, one big line of checkboxen? [02:43:51] Werdna: where it makes more rows if they get too long of course ;) [02:43:57] heh [02:44:04] well, you were overruled [02:44:04] now I have this big empty "rights you can't change" thing [02:44:11] blame Pathoschild,brion-away [02:44:24] I like the columns better too [02:44:36] Hmm? [02:44:57] AaronSchulz: I think it's ok to have it in the same table [02:45:13] that certainly keeps things together [02:45:37] but I think you could provide some functions which make it easier for others to query it securely [02:46:22] because first you'll break everything that reads the logging table, fine [02:46:44] then everyone whose code is broken will hard-code a reference to $wgLogRestrictions [02:47:02] then you'll decide a bit later that $wgLogRestrictions is not flexible enough and you want to change the way it's configured [02:48:10] so I think you should look any other code (in the API and extensions) that uses the logging table, and look at how you can refactor the permissions filtering [02:49:00] hmm, must things seems to use LogViewer and the FauxRequest thing [02:49:15] eww [02:49:47] it's the same problem though [02:49:48] it is too ugly to manually query the table and output it [02:50:02] if LogViewer is used, it should be safe [02:50:47] actually, SpecialLog.php is kind of ugly [02:50:54] you'd think it would just be the specialpage [02:51:16] but there is this weird Reader/Viewer thing, I'd really should have it use Pager sometime [02:51:44] if you provide a decent interface now, you'll reduce the risk that someone later will get fed up with LogViewer and write their own crappy interface [05:03:29] sweet, got logging using pager now [05:04:55] awesome :D [05:08:00] 03aaron * r32684 10/trunk/phase3/includes/RecentChange.php: Use new fields [05:08:09] wow! irc scared me! [05:08:13] didn't know you were awake [05:09:27] I have a LogList class for the formatting [05:09:47] brion: I also dumped all the reader/viewer stuff there...not sure what to do with that [05:10:21] I'll have to change a shitload of FauxReader stuff to be able to remove it from the core without breakage [05:10:48] *AaronSchulz will deal with those classes later [05:18:33] I should do some work soon [05:18:40] also, well done AaronSchulz [05:19:32] Werdna: being able to doing "earliest" is kinda fun [05:19:46] before that would require a scan of....several rows [05:20:31] On bottom of every page I see "This page has been accessed x times.". Is it possible to get a consolidated page containing hit count of all the pages? [05:20:49] Any special page for that? [05:21:50] hey werdna? :) [05:21:54] kylu? [05:21:57] :D [05:22:19] sooo.... would you mind peeking at AdminSettings.php and figuring out why I can't access the db? [05:22:56] how are you trying to access the db? [05:22:57] is a very simple file, kylu's a bit o.O now. [05:23:08] via centralauth extension [05:23:23] I did the table create already [05:23:52] I can turn on special:asksql if you'd like, but didn't want to read there either. [05:24:00] Nineth: Special:Popularpages? [05:24:34] kylu: well, it looks okay [05:24:39] what's the exact error you're getting? [05:25:31] pasting to query. [05:28:42] brion: yes, it is what I need.

[07:33:50] <_wooz> lo [07:34:32] :) [07:34:52] api editting is half broken [07:36:02] I've found that the initial inserts that have to do with saving the main article text work [07:36:21] obviously, but what I mean is, those are wrapped in a transaction [07:36:41] that's what tends to happen when you duplicate existing functionality for no reason and without testing [07:36:49] then a new transaction begins, and all of the links updates are done [07:37:16] like, inserting categories, external links, etc [07:37:31] but the transaction is never comitted [07:38:12] unlike the main index.php that always runs $mediaWiki->finalCleanup() which ensures a commit is run [07:39:43] so really, in mediawiki, there is no explict commit executed when editting an article. The final clean up method takes care of it [07:40:15] since api edit does not have a clean up method, some db updates never get comitted [07:41:08] im new to mediawiki (code).

[08:54:50] it's like... there's a question there, somewhere, just trying to get out [08:56:32] AaronSchulz: is it normal that an user with deleterevision right but not hiderevision can put the DELETE_RESTRICTED bit on a revision ? (same for log action) [08:56:45] flyingparchment: shoudln't something be there?

And MediaWiki does allow role-based permissions [14:41:38] Which is what I use in our product. [14:42:02] ic, whats ur product if i may ask?

[16:57:31] just out of curiosity: why is there a portal if there is a main page? and if there is a good reason: which content should reside in main page, which in portal? [16:58:38] vince42, you mean portal such as "Portal:" or community portal? [16:58:49] Wiredtape: yes, Portal: [16:58:59] the standard setup of mediawiki ... :) [16:59:26] Portal: is a namespace, it doesn't come with the standard setup of mediawiki.. and it is a custom namespace used on wikipedia and other websites [16:59:29] 03aaron * r32707 10/trunk/phase3/includes/LogEventList.php: typo [17:00:22] i think the main idea is pages in Portal: refer to a specific subject, and act as heirarcical categories (as opposed to the usual category:) and the main page is a main page for any subject or thing [17:00:54] though i'm sure the wikipedia community could explain why "Portal" was used and not something else.. [17:01:07] i know - but if it is only a namespace ... why is there a portal in navbar? it is kinda irritating ... :) [17:01:45] navbar? [17:02:01] you mean the navigation sidebar? [17:02:05] navigation menu on the left [17:02:17] standard installation doesn't create that [17:02:28] either way, you can edit that through mediawiki:sidebar [17:03:29] the standard mediawiki setup has it ... don't get me wrong: I am happy with it - i just wondere why there are these two entries, which are quite similar ...

[20:28:00] How is css supposed to be edited in mediawiki? [20:28:22] matthew: what does it say above the edit form ? [20:28:26] oh, Common.css, for example [20:28:41] I might have given you the wrong advice earlier because I did not see you were trying to edit Monobook.css [20:28:43] ialex: I don't see any edit, anything... [20:29:06] ialex: I checked on 3 different wikis.. [20:29:09] 03(mod) blank page after edit - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13591 (10office) [20:29:13] matthew: and if you do /MediaWiki:Monobook.css?action=edit [20:29:17] versions 3.5.6, 1.11.2, and 1.12.0 [20:29:28] ialex: I'd like to try that way.. [20:29:55] matthew: so it just says "view source" where it should say edit? can you edit any mediawiki namespace pages? [20:30:04] !css | matthew [20:30:04] --mwbot-- matthew: To change styles for your wiki, go to one of the MediaWiki:xxx.css wiki page and put your custom styles there (sysop/admin rights required). MediaWiki:common.css is for all skins and should be used for content styles. MediaWiki:monobook.css is for the MonoBook skin (default), etc. For more information, see !skins and [20:30:23] that would seem to suggest that you should be able to edit monobook [20:30:33] ialex: opens up an edit box.. but seems to be read only.. I cannot type in it. [20:30:36] but common.css would allow you to style things as well.. [20:30:56] matthew: and above it does there is an "Permissions error" ? [20:31:05] ialex: in my 1.11.2 version.. it seems to work in 1.12.0 [20:31:26] ialex: no permission error or any error [20:31:54] matthew: is your wiki public ? [20:31:56] actually, i didn't try the 3.5.6 version [20:32:17] ialex: sure.. http://zuesworks.com/wiki [20:32:48] ialex: that's the url to my personal one.. the one I really need to fix (for my work) is version 1.12.0 and it seems to be allowing me to edit [20:33:23] ialex: See this goofyness on the left menu.. it's what I need to fix: http://wikidev.wsu.edu [20:34:29] matthew: you need to have editinterface right to edit that namespace (this can be set in $wgGroupPermissions) [20:34:59] anybody running mediawiki on postresql? [20:35:18] matthew: by default it is assigned to sysops [20:35:34] Mornin'. Question: what's the 'approved' method for purging the complete history? I've getting my site pretty much where I want it, and I don't need nor care about the history. A Google search claimed there were some utilities in wiki/maintenance, but I'm not seeing any likely candidates. [20:35:35] blue_asterisk: Yes [20:35:39] i am logged in as sysop [20:35:44] he server at bugzilla.wikimedia.org is taking too long to respond. [20:35:46] omg [20:35:51] bugzilla is down? [20:35:54] G_SabinoMullane: have you run into a lot of hiccups? [20:36:10] White_Cat: No, working fine for me [20:36:18] G_SabinoMullane: how has your experience with it? [20:36:18] blue_asterisk: Sure. But things get better every version. Run as recent as you can. [20:36:27] White_Cat: no [20:36:39] :( [20:36:41] blue_asterisk: I wrote most of it, so I'm biased, but it's been good. [20:37:18] G_SabinoMullane: is the performance better than mysql? [20:37:25] jcw: you can delete all old revisions [20:37:37] hopefully that won't mess up any site license [20:37:47] Not for my content, it won't. [20:37:49] G_SabinoMullane: how big is your site? [20:38:06] I see deleteArchivedFiles, deleteArchivedRecidions, deleteOldRevisions. I'm not sure which is appropriate. [20:38:10] deleteOldRevisions.php [20:38:22] *jcw makes a damn good backup, first. [20:38:31] blue_asterisk: Got a bunch. Biggest is probably citizendium. Peformance is pretty much the same, although our built-in search is much better. [20:38:57] jcw: the two others are for deleted content [20:39:15] G_SabinoMullane: ah, cool [20:39:21] I'm just curious [20:39:30] running those will free some easy space probably [20:39:32] I'll be using lucene [20:39:55] and I'm more familiar with mysql [20:40:52] AaronSchulz, it claims it delete 264 old revisions, but all the history is still there. I'm looking to clear that history, also. [20:41:06] purge your browser cache? [20:41:25] Yes. [20:41:52] G_SabinoMullane: what is the biggest advantage of using postgresql over mysql for mediawiki sites? [20:41:53] 03(FIXED) API query returns two elements - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13596 +comment (10roan.kattouw) [20:41:56] d'oh. [20:42:05] I guess I need to --delete for it to actually do it... [20:42:42] Thassa betta now. Thanks, AaronSchulz. [20:44:09] blue_asterisk: If you are already familiar with mysql, that's probably best. pg advantages are a better schema (e.g. FKs), better search (no myisam tables either), and better concurrency. [20:44:17] Any of you guys recommend a way to have specific video download links for youtube/google/ifilm videos on your wiki? [20:44:30] But I'd go with what you already know. [20:46:03] blue_asterisk: If you want pg advocacy, visit #postgresql, I'm going to stay mostly nuetral on this channel. :) [20:46:32] Not to start a postgross/mysql war, but one thing I've found is that mysql upgrades tend to be painless, while postgres upgrades tend to be very painful. This comes from the experience of having to maintain a postgres system for a couple of my users. [20:46:33] G_SabinoMullane: thanks :) [20:47:00] Postgres does have some advantages, but I couldn't tell you if mediawiki takes advantage of them or not. [20:47:25] ibm just took up Postgres too [20:47:33] will probably see alot of improvement in the near future [20:47:59] I sorta wonder why they did that, too. Unless they're targetting postgres for "low end" and db2 for "high end". [20:48:09] They've put a LOT of work into DB2. [20:51:38] jcw: Well, EnterpriseDB is in the business of replacing Oracle installations, not db2 ones. [20:57:23] I can't really find how db2 and enterprisedb compare. DB2 is definitely a "high end" product for IBM. But I can't easily find a feature comparison of the two. Apparently at least one agricultural (moo!) company replaced db2 with enterpriseDB. [21:03:22] hello all [21:03:34] hi simsim [21:04:21] i've been scratching my head over how to create sub-pages in MediaWiki! [21:04:46] use a title with a / [21:04:55] could i create sub-pages without the need to create custom namespaces? [21:05:00] yes [21:05:09] what you may want is enable links to parent pages [21:05:16] which is a per namespace directive [21:05:27] 03(FIXED) Show true message source in Special:Allmessages&ot=php / xml - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13431 +comment (10brion) [21:05:38] i want to create a subpage in the Talk namespace for discussing sources translations [21:06:09] it would have its own tab [21:06:27] but in the talk namespace only.. [21:07:11] am i clear, Platonides? :) [21:07:29] its own tab? [21:07:41] of course [21:07:49] you will need to change the skin [21:08:13] the page itself may be on a different namespace, be a subpage... [21:08:17] it doesn't matter [21:12:08] is Roan Kattouw in here? [21:12:25] hmm.. i'm afraid i'm not getting you, Platonides!

[21:19:42] simsim: and you want a tab on every page to link to this subpage? [21:23:20] yes [21:23:40] on every article's discussion page, to be clear [21:25:16] simsim: well then, there will be two steps to what you do. first will be making the subpage, then will be making the tab. when you say you want the subpage to exist on every discussion page, what do you mean? do you mean that you want it to come with preloaded text? because you can create any page or subpage of any name by entering it in the url as you would an existing page & press edit/creat [21:27:13] no, not preloaded text. but a link should exist even ifno one started the page yet (i.e. the normal way the discussions page itself works) [21:31:00] see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_add.2Fremove_tabs_throughout_my_wiki.3F [21:31:36] it actually might not work, in that case hack the code where the hook is and put code in directly (if you feel comfortable doing that) [21:32:30] well, i'm ok with that, although i'm astonished why MediaWiki doesn't have such basic functionality by default [21:33:13] in the code sample, change wfMsg('mainpage') to reference whatever mediawiki msg you want (in this form it would reference Mediawiki:mainpage and in the mediawiki message you specify, write something like {{TALKSPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/[subpagename] [21:34:00] eh, the designers don't see a need for another tab, or a second talkspace [21:39:32] well, here's the situation i'm currently facing [21:40:00] i've a country-specific wiki encyclopedia.. [21:40:16] ok [21:40:37] on the discussion page, great amount of the content goes into discussing sources translatios [21:40:44] *translations [21:41:35] for example, if your wiki is in english and people are writing an article with some french sources on the subject [21:41:49] Ack! [21:41:52] Split! [21:42:13] simsim: ok... [21:42:14] Smaug, you there? :p [21:42:19] yeah i'm here [21:42:21] crazy split [21:42:26] guess a lot of people using that server [21:42:28] lol.. okay [21:43:19] so i thought of splitting the sources translations discussions (which got very heated and controverisla) into a separate page on the same discussion page [21:44:13] if anyone has a neater solution than having another sub-page i would be very greatful [21:46:14] the tabs should go like this : Article | Discussion | Edit | + | Source Translations | History [21:47:28] sweet... the enwiki full-history dump took only 15 days instead of 35 this time :D [21:47:30] progress [21:47:33] mabye just using = = to create section headings? you may get a long page, but it will stay on one page and can be navigated from the TOC. i mean subpages are the best way if you must split a page [21:48:06] might still take two weeks to recompress as .7z though ;) [21:49:44] in my opinion, i think source translations shift users focus on discussiong the core article [21:49:55] from* [21:50:22] well you'll have to decide what to do [21:50:51] Yeah, I have to :) [21:52:36] i guess i'm going to request users to vote on this before implementing it [21:54:04] thanks for the help.. [21:54:29] hi all [21:54:32] simsim: users rarely know in advance waht they actually want. the only thing votes are good for is you having something to point to later. "but you told me to do it this way..." [21:54:37] I need some help [21:55:02] yw [21:55:10] I can't find langage packs for wiki media ... [21:55:21] (it's my first serious install) [21:55:24] !language [21:55:24] --mwbot-- I don't know anything about "language". You might try: !langlinks [21:55:36] !langlinks [21:55:36] --mwbot-- Language links are links to translations of the same article on another wiki. For information on how to set up language links, see [21:55:54] nope [21:56:52] so so [21:59:01] neo000: uh... "language packs"?... [21:59:15] neo000: mediawiki comes with translations in > 100 languages. [21:59:18] no packs needed. [21:59:38] just change the ui language in your user preferences. [22:02:00] can anyone help me troubleshoot why a recent upgrade of parserfunctions no longer work? (it appears on the version page yet the commands don't seem to work, it just outputs the text as if it isn't a registered0,00 command) [22:07:16] why so much netsplit today? [22:11:09] thank you. I just figured it out. I came with the languages preinstalled i didn't see it. Thank you nayway [22:11:16] anyway [22:12:01] Smaug: [23:39] -christel- [Global Notice] Hi all! I'm about to do a teeny bit of re-routing, it shouldn't be too messy -- affected users should be around 7K. Have a great day and thank you for using freenode! [22:13:22] neo000: MediaWiki has UIs for about 300 languages. About 100 languages have a somewhat decent localisation at least. About 65 have excellent localisation. [22:13:42] neo000: Some 25 have excellent support for often used extensions, too. More, see: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics [22:14:06] meheh. [22:14:16] I needed brion :รพ [22:14:22] .oO(mw is probably one of the apps with the best i18n support of all times) [22:14:49] Duesentrieb: goals for 2008 have not been met by far ;) [22:14:52] well, the i18n code isn't so great, but the coverage is massive :) [22:15:05] 2008 ain't over yet ;) [22:15:59] Duesentrieb: I want a read UI for 120, excellent core localisation for 90, excellent Wikimedia extension support for 50, and 20 languages with 65+% of all extensions in Betawiki localised. [22:16:59] Duesentrieb: currently we are at 97/63/26/14, from 48/50/11/7 end of 2007 (http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics_in_time) [22:17:32] Duesentrieb: but the 97 will drop a lot when the new 'most often used' messages are redefined. [22:20:15] Duesentrieb: btw, I think Windows Xp may have a large number of localisations, too. Can't find how many, thoug. Most of the larger FOSS projects have up to 40 languages supported. [22:22:46] Hi - simple question - does anyone know where I can edit what color broken links appear as in wiki software? [22:23:11] is this done on the monobook skin (presuming I am using it) itself or somewhere else [22:24:20] ? [22:24:21] HypedZJ: try [[Mediawiki:common.css]] [22:24:47] netsplit? [22:24:58] Skizzerz: netmerge. [22:25:02] ah [22:25:27] (zzz...) [22:26:12] siebrand - do you know what I would put in Mediawiki:common.css? [22:27:18] HypedZJ: google a bit on how to do link markup in css... [22:27:19] meeeerge. [22:27:31] cool thanks [22:30:08] is derwin here? [22:32:06] brion, got some time for me, now ? [22:42:48] well. If I need answers, I'll just write to wikitech-l during the day, hoping for some comfort, instead of sitting there all night. [22:42:57] :( [22:43:03] *sniff* [22:43:04] wassap [22:43:22] no offense, brion, it is just that time offset makes it difficult for me [22:43:54] I'll just write a mail to wikitech, there is no anger in my previous comment. 'later ! [22:46:02] ok :D [22:46:46] Hi - simple question - does anyone know where I can edit what color broken links appear as in wiki software? [22:47:18] Broken links? [22:47:24] redlinks? [22:47:31] Ah [22:47:31] yes [22:47:43] css can do it, I think [22:47:44] MediaWiki:Common.css [22:47:45] a.new [22:48:00] do you know I would input in Common.css to edit just broken/red links [22:48:13] Here's how you do it: [22:48:22] On MediaWiki:Common.css, put this text: [22:48:50] a.new { color: #xxxxxx; } (where xxxxxx is the hex value of the new color) (yay for teamwork?) [22:49:08] Yep [22:49:28] excellent, and that will just apply to new links? [22:49:34] or prev. broken links [22:49:42] all redlinks [22:50:11] excellent, heres the bit more challenging follow on, how do I appear new links appear as normal text - meaning its still a link but looks just like normal text [22:51:06] make* [22:51:31] a.new { color:#000000; } [22:51:57] that would make it a black link, yes, but it would still appear as a link?
