[00:18:06] Hi. I have a private mediawiki and try to do the following: A template with a {{parameter}} (int) should add a category [[Category:Foobar|{{parameter}}]], but this fails to work correctly: Both {{parameter}} 1 and 10, 18 etc. end up being sorted by the first letter only - 1.

The *tabs* like edit, protect, preferences at the top are something else, I'm not sure how they're generated and skinned. [00:22:46] skierpage, the blue "preferences" and stuff?

Preferences is in a similar portlet with id="p-personal" [00:27:18] Uh-huh [00:27:34] *skierpage shouldn't pretend to help, CSS is a dark art to me ;-) [00:28:21] XD [00:28:26] Now you doing so far so good :) [00:28:43] I for one just started digging through it, so I suck XD [00:31:34] Crap [00:31:41] skierpage, how good are you with templates/ [00:33:00] barely [00:33:14] XD [00:34:50] are you two any good with regex?

[03:47:57] give it a test, go to your preferences and deselect that under Misc [] Show table of contents (for pages with more than 3 headings) [03:48:08] then see if it appears with __TOC__ (and at least one heading) [03:48:24] the other option is to put __NOTOC__ on most pages [03:49:50] Actually, I'm wondering what WikiHow did to make TOC unavailable in any situation, and if there is a way to default it to not show. [03:50:26] #toc { display: none;} [03:50:27] heh [03:51:22] But that would still show the toc in the output html, which their's does not. [03:51:32] Wouldn't it? [03:51:35] yes [03:51:39] so maybe a skin hack [03:51:51] yah, that's kinda what I'm thinking.

We will not be held responsible should private information, such as a password or bank details, be leaked, leading to loss of funds or one's job. [08:10:54] Werdna, we use mediawiki as a resource to store information about our clients. Currently we just store username and no password.. we refrained from storing passwords here because we felt the mediawiki password page protection + ssl is not enough security to store the passwords.. trying to think of some ways to store it in the wiki in a more secure manner [08:11:26] ya.. well based on the above - that's why we weren't comfortable storing it in there [08:12:31] hmm [08:13:39] Passwords on user accounts? [08:14:31] passwords [08:14:35] we store user accounts in there currently [08:15:17] joobie: you can always encrypt whatever with gnupg and put the reult into the wiki. no idea how that would make sense, but it is a secure way to store passwords int the wiki, i guess, [08:15:53] you have to ask yourself *why* you want to store them there. and if the convenience you cain is even possible without compromising security [08:16:26] it is convenience [08:16:37] but say we encrypt the pass and put it on the wiki [08:16:48] to decrypt then we need to run through another app ya [08:16:54] is there a wiki based tool that can be used to decrypt [08:16:58] so it can be all limited to the wiki [08:17:00] you could use an appropriately written extension. [08:17:06] no. because that would be inheritly insecure [08:17:14] see, it can not be secure and convenient at the same time [08:17:22] sure it can [08:17:24] don't be silly. [08:17:56] Werdna: well... no, it *is* a tradeoff. sure, it can be made more convenient while staying secure, etc [08:18:18] but generally, if you want it secure, you have to jum through some loops. [08:18:41] if you have the wiki decrypt it, it's not going to be secure any more. [08:18:54] to be reasonably secure, secrety have to stay local. [08:19:15] which means distributing keys, having the right app, etc [08:19:17] sure you can do that [08:19:35] do what? [08:19:42] you can write an extension that disables page caching, and works only if the user has a 'viewpassword' right [08:19:45] that's not too hard. [08:20:49] Werdna: huh? that just as insecure as any other page protectiopn extension we offer. [08:21:09] the fact that i can't think of a way to bypass it off-hand doesn't mean it's SECURE. [08:21:34] we have had majore loopholes discovered in the past. stuff getting leaked through diffs in rss feeds, etc [08:21:56] hell, export was completely unprotected for years. [08:22:50] heh [08:23:18] I was able to defeat medcom's official wiki's per-page protection with a simple transclusion in preview [08:23:36] (requires edit access, but still..) [08:24:49] yes, that's a simple way to defeat most of them, it bypasses the userCan check. you have to use wgNonincludableNamespaces to protect against it [08:25:18] and that's just one of a dozen paths [08:25:27] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Security_issues_with_authorization_extensions [08:27:41] i know, i wrote several of the entries :) [08:28:02] the better extensions cover all known loopholes. [08:28:06] but there may well be more. [08:30:08] *Splarka only wrote half of one, but should write another he knows [08:30:24] yea, write more :) [08:31:17] with a shared user DB, it is (or was in ~1.5) possible to have a 'read' leak if you have the appropriate group on a sibling wiki [08:31:40] not sure how it was set up actually, heh [08:32:03] but that is possibly a common configuration, people wanting secure pages make a parallel wiki with the same user db, but with different rights assignments [08:32:39] wow [08:32:45] just read the backlog [08:32:47] interesting [08:33:00] so what would you'll consider a secure way to do it - given it needs to be made availabel on the net? [08:33:20] i currently have a htaccess passwd set to the site.. so that's one level outside of medawiki that you need to pass to get access [08:33:24] then mediawiki needs you to login [08:33:26] then..? [08:33:31] Never store clents passwords in plain form anywhere...! [08:33:37] ya [08:33:38] That's the only real sollution [08:33:41] im thinken of crypting it [08:33:45] like dues suggested [08:33:53] well, I'd personally write an extension for decrypting passwords; or, you could store it externally [08:34:07] Actually, best to just hash it in a way you can't decript it [08:34:19] Honnestly, passwords should never show up outside of the client app [08:35:01] And the client app should always store them in a hashed form that can't be decrypted [08:35:10] Werdna, how would the extension work you have in mind? [08:35:21] tag extension. [08:35:39] base64-encoded-encrypted-password [08:35:59] k [08:36:02] so that contains the hash [08:36:03] then? [08:36:10] well, you can't decrypt a hash [08:38:42] so that would show a hash on the screen ya? [08:38:57] then u would copy that and paste it into another app with a salt to get the passwd? [08:39:14] anyway to keep that whole process in mediawiki - or ist hat insecure [08:39:22] .. can think of a secure way to do it?

[09:41:12] Hi, does the thumb.php URL (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/thumb.php?w=130&f=Wiki.png for example) return an image for every image of wikipedia or only some of them? Is there a difference with the Special URL ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Filepath/Image:Wiki.png for example)? [09:42:20] the thumb.php only generates images at a specified thumbnail size, and only if the image is larger than or equal to that size [09:42:41] (and isn't too big for the memory allocation) [09:43:01] the filepath is actually a 302 HTTP redirect to the image location at full size [09:43:48] so, the Filepath will more reliably always work (assuming it exists), but the file may change size (say, a bigger or smaller version gets uploaded) [09:44:23] the thumb returns a static non-forwarding URL, and a constant image size, but relies on the image being larger than that size [09:45:11] note that you can predict a file path based on its name [09:45:16] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Filepath/Image:Wiki.png gives http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bc/Wiki.png [09:45:47] the md5 of "Wiki.png" is bc32c4ef985f1924664e5f5c7359ef62 ... the filepath you'll note contains /b/bc [09:46:28] *Splarka hopes brasseur got that all ^_^ [09:46:57] Splarka: thanks, if I take the example of 'Abe_Lincoln_young.jpg', it is accessible form the upload url http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Abe_Lincoln_young.jpg but not from the thumb.php: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/thumb.php?w=80&f=Abe_Lincoln_young.jpg [09:47:35] http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/thumb.php?w=80&f=Abe_Lincoln_young.jpg [09:47:45] note that the URL is /wikipedia/commons/ [09:48:17] it isn't on en.wikipedia, per se...

[12:59:33] is that means that there's another way to display them directly? [13:00:47] A external program is normally used to render PNG versions of the SVG [13:00:56] !svg [13:00:56] --mwbot-- For more information regarding SVGs in MediaWiki, see . [13:02:08] yes but actually I wonder if there's a way to make MediaWiki displaying directly the SVG and so not to convert them [13:02:43] No... and for good reason [13:02:51] yes because of IE... [13:02:56] that's it? [13:02:57] Not just it [13:03:05] what else? [13:03:20] SVG isn't a thing natively supported widely enough [13:03:50] Sure, a number of major browsers support it... However there are still dozens of browsers people use which don't [13:05:20] ok, but if for my own private wiki I choose to display them directly because I know all the readers have SVG-capable browsers [13:05:22] Not to mention, that any browser only renders SVGs about as well as ImageMagic can do it... And that's the shittiest program you can use to convert SVGs... Rendering SVGs with something like rsvg or imagemagic yeilds better results displayed [13:06:53] Additionally, while browsers can display a nice full size SVG... There are lots of bugs with various browsers which pop up when you try and drop one into a img tag [13:07:48] Simetrical, you there man? [13:09:29] Hi guys, i have a problem, I am trying to edit a page via a bot, by using the action=submit and sending in my HTML parameters (edittoken, starttime, endtime, summary, textbox1..etc..), but i am getting the following error: http://rafb.net/p/wytrLN98.html [13:09:35] wut am i doing wrong [13:10:00] rough guess, no user-agent [13:10:07] i have the user-agent [13:10:11] and i can login and stuff [13:10:20] this was the problem yesterday :D [13:10:20] Mangled edit token [13:10:29] ye, how is it mangled. [13:10:30] Bad escaping, or double escaping? [13:10:49] LordAnubis: heh. I just remember that thing ALWAYS gets me [13:10:54] acc to the HTML i get back, : value="b29024bf6db6ef3ca64bfee29f157dbd+\" [13:11:06] well, I'm not against the use of rsvg or any other SVG converter, but in my case, my wiki is hosted by a public web host so I'm sure if I can set an SVG converter [13:11:07] Werdna, ye it took me a whole day figuring it out :D [13:11:51] Dantman|FS, so.. wuts "escaping". [13:12:01] Backslash [13:12:03] Dantman|FS, you can see above the value of my edit token, i think this is the right format. [13:12:24] Dantman|FS, oh, so ur suggesting i should remove the backslash ? wut about the + sign? [13:12:32] no, DON'T remove them [13:12:39] Werdna, then? [13:12:53] are you sure you're url-encoding them? [13:12:57] Nah... I mean that ' " and \ get backslash escaped [13:13:15] I think the problem is that the + is being interpreted as a space. [13:13:18] Werdna, no, and my next question will be "wuts url-encoding". I am a VB6 guy, and this is my first web app ! [13:13:30] ^_^ Sounds like we have the issue [13:13:32] heh [13:13:33] LordAnubis: how are you submitting. [13:13:34] :D [13:13:38] using winsock [13:13:41] a POST parameter [13:13:42] ah [13:13:46] yeah, you need to urlencode [13:13:53] how do i do that :) [13:13:56] dunno how to do that in VB6, don't wanna know :P [13:13:57] Sockpuppets for Windoze! Gasp! [13:14:08] *Dantman|FS should probably go to sleep [13:14:08] no i mean, wuts the layout of url encode [13:14:09] :D [13:14:27] Dantman|FS, its actually a copyvio detection bot, in VB6 :D , On WINDOWS (yayyy, ) [13:14:53] ^_^ Normally it's best to build bots ontop of a framework instead of writing from scratch... [13:14:58] Helps avoid issues like this [13:15:15] <^demon> Isn't there a .Net-based Mediawiki framework? [13:15:24] And lets you focus on making the bot work, instead of the framework [13:15:40] Werdna, so after a quick google, i guess this is how my edittoken should be (url-encoded): b29024bf6db6ef3ca64bfee29f157dbd%2B%5C [13:15:41] ^demon: I wrote one once. [13:16:01] Dantman|FS> so right now there is no way to display SVG with MediaWiki directly? (I looked the Extension Matrix, it doesn't seem someone wrote something allowing this kind of trick) [13:16:09] ^demon: yes, but i am VB6 guy, i started from "Dim strUsername as String" :D [13:16:13] below scratch [13:16:19] av16ar: Nope [13:16:24] oh :( [13:16:44] A few questions. How can I add automated text sections such as the stub section in wikipedia. i.e. with one to get an entire html formatted box with stuff that I wanna say in it. [13:16:47] <^demon> LordAnubis: I wrote a calculator in VB6 once. Never was a desktop programmer really... [13:17:16] Jubei: templates [13:17:22] !manual Templates [13:17:22] --mwbot-- An introduction to using MediaWiki is at , see for information about copying it to your own wiki. More technical information for MediaWiki administrators is at . For an introduction on programming with MediaWiki, see .

[13:18:21] Dantman|FS> do you think it would be difficult for me to try to write an extension allowing the direct display of SVG (knowing I know how to write an extension for MediaWiki) [13:18:44] av16ar: That kind of thing would likely require a hack to MediaWiki [13:19:57] My programmer half is proding me to re-open up some documents, my browser, and ssh and continue making stuff... While what little bit of a sane side I have is telling me that the lighteaded feeling I have is a sign I should go to bed... [13:20:09] heh [13:20:25] Werdna, Dantman|FS : IT WORKED, I just url-encoded the mofo, and it worked :D [13:20:39] thanks a lot for ur help [13:21:53] Ok... time to stop staring at random places and get some sleep... ^_^ It is already 6:30AM... heh... [13:22:16] Dantman|FS> what you mean by hack? you mean it's impossible to do it with a simple extension? [13:22:41] Ya... you're basically altering the very foundation to how MediaWiki handles images [13:22:56] It's not something that would even be easy for a developer to do [13:23:32] Dantman|FS>ok thank you for your help, is it day or night in Vancouver? [13:23:55] What? Vancouver? Stalker!!!! [13:24:09] Dantman|FS> ^^ [13:25:07] -Dantman|FS- TIME Mon May 5 06:25:04 2008 [13:25:34] ^_^ Well Lower Mainland... I'm not that far west though... [13:26:33] You know... I turned 19 5 days ago... And I really haven't noticed it as a daily thing... [13:27:45] Dantman|FS> 1st May is your birthday? [13:27:49] Yup [13:28:27] may is the best month to bear [13:28:55] ^_^ And if you want a twist... The doctors said I was supposed to be born on April 1st... But they got an april fools... rotfl...

So I created a patch w/o really understanding what I'm doint. :-) [14:15:06] whoops [14:16:16] <^demon> Simetrical: I've looked into it. Seems to be some issues compiling.

[14:24:25] Instead, how about replacing it with a getPrintStyle() method or similar, which children can override if they like? [14:28:54] I am having an argument, what is best, a namespace or stuffing loads of pages as subpages to a master page? [14:29:24] Simetrical: Sure, why not. But where should this method be placed? In MonoBookTemplate, QuickTemplate, ...? [14:31:05] So just that I get you right: the idea would be to write a function getPrintStyle() which just returns the static string "common/commonPrint.css" and in my own skin, I'd then override it with my own static string? [14:31:42] I guess either SkinTemplate or QuickTemplate. [14:31:45] QuickTemplate, maybe. [14:31:51] I hate how Monobook skins are set up. :( [14:32:00] yoda_gh, yes, basically.

[15:23:30] gernot, yeah, I vaguely recall that. I've never looked at QuickTemplate. [15:23:46] So I wonder whether it wouldn't be more inline with the current design to duplicate something like SkinTemplate::buildNavUrls() and use something like $tpl->set('printcss') for it. [15:23:49] gernot, I have to go now. You can file a bug and CC me to it, Simetrical+wikibugs@gmail.com, I'll see about committing any patches you might have. [15:24:03] That sounds good, though, although "current design" is atrocious. :) [15:24:19] Well, I don't feel like refactoring the current design yet. :-) [15:24:29] Thanks for your help so far, I'll file the bug then!

  • What does mediawiki use to locate its images for displaying on pages? [21:36:17] and/or where in the code? [21:37:17] matthew_: Have you set $wgUploadPath to a valid directory? [21:37:40] a valid web path, rather [21:37:51] yeah [21:37:56] check the url's in the src attribute you get in the generated html. try to load that url directly. [21:37:57] MinuteElectron: $wgUploadPath = "/resources/files/Wiki/{$wsuCurrentWiki}/images"; [21:38:15] and is that valid? [21:38:19] also... $wsuCurrentWiki smells of a complex custom setup (wiki farm, anyone?) [21:38:55] matthew_: check the urls, as i told you, please. [21:39:14] Duesentrieb: $wsuCurrentWiki is just the current wiki.. that part I made so I know it's correct [21:40:26] Duesentrieb: It does upload images into there... just doesn't show them afterwards.. I think I've read all that.. but I am looking through it again now. [21:40:50] again: check the url you get for arendered image thumbnail in the end [21:41:14] also, go to an image description page and click the full-res link. check if that works. [21:42:05] might also try Special:Filepath and thumb.php [21:42:30] should get you the same url [21:42:49] well, Filepath, anyway. thumb.php is different [21:42:54] Duesentrieb: The url I get for a thumbnail is as follows (clicking on it gives me a dialog to upload): /ctltwiki/resources/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=VLAN_Basics_1.gif [21:43:34] o_O [21:43:44] If i upload one.. it's still not there.. (well, it does put it in the filesystem, but not shown on the wiki) [21:43:49] uh... you get that where, exactly? in a src attribute of an img tag? [21:44:11] Duesentrieb: href= [21:44:15] in the page source [21:44:35] so, no img tag is created at all? i.e. you don't get a broken thumbnail, but a "missing image" link? [21:44:52] why would I get 'You must log in to view other pages.' if my $wgAuth extension has function authenticate ($username, $password) { return true; } ? [21:45:24] Duesentrieb: doesn't appear to have any image tag, no.. [21:45:47] (Dues: right, different failure modes too... worth trying maybe) [21:46:13] arcanez: because authentication and authorization are different things? the message may actually be misleading. it really means that you don't have permiossion to see the page -- not being logged in is usually, but not necessarily, the cause. [21:46:54] matthew_: see if an enty is generated for that image in the image table. check if an image description page is created, and if an upload history is shown there. [21:47:16] Duesentrieb, I'm assuming '$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;' is the cause.. how can I authorize users in my extension [21:47:57] by assigning groups that have the required permissioins [21:47:59] !rights [21:47:59] --mwbot-- For information on customizing user access, see < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_rights >.

[21:48:58] Duesentrieb, thanks [21:49:07] np [21:50:23] Duesentrieb: the image is certainly in the image table.. [21:50:38] Let me see where upload history might be kept..

[21:51:38] Duesentrieb: I have one image repository for each wiki. [21:52:13] under web root, its files/Wiki/{$wsuCurrentWiki}/images [21:52:54] and you don't have any wgSharedUpload* options set? [21:53:22] Duesentrieb: I don't think I do.... [21:53:29] double check [21:55:12] not in my current wiki version--let me see if I missed that from the old 1.5.6 (also--google only has one result for "wgSharedUpload" [21:55:46] that's because google doesn' [21:55:54] doesn't support substring search [21:56:24] we have $wgUseSharedUploads, $wgSharedUploadPath, $wgSharedUploadDirectory, $wgSharedUploadDBname and several more [21:57:01] ah.. well.. the only references in the 1.12.0 and 1.5.6 are in mediawiki code.. nothing I put in (LocalSetting.php) [21:57:10] 03siebrand * r34274 10/trunk/extensions/ (45 files in 44 dirs): Localisation updates for extension messages from Betawiki (2008-05-05 23:21 CEST) [21:57:11] I was just grepping through code [21:57:24] looking atlocalsettings should be sufficient [21:57:37] well then... what dopes the image description page look like [21:57:54] oh, and did you look at Special:Log? Uploads should be logged there. [21:57:59] Also see Special:Newimages [21:58:12] nope.. let me look at those.. (and make notes of those) [22:00:00] Duesentrieb: wow.. Special:Log shows where I tried to upload it and, when I click on it, it shows that image.. [22:00:29] huh. can you give me the url? [22:01:06] Duesentrieb: but when I click on an image upload prior to the upgrade... It brings me to the dialog to upload [22:01:16] Here's the URL to the image I could get: http://wikidev.wsu.edu/ctltwiki/Image:VLAN_Basics_2.jpg [22:01:25] 03siebrand * r34275 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/ (MessagesDe.php MessagesIs.php MessagesKk_cyrl.php): Localisation updates. Fixes on previous commit. [22:01:43] "You must log in to view other pages." :) [22:02:30] hmm... ok just a sec.... [22:03:39] Duesentrieb: I guess none of the wikis in the farm are setup for anonymous access... I thought one of them might be.. [22:04:09] you'll have to dig yourself, them [22:04:17] on that page, do you see the upload history? [22:04:23] yes [22:04:25] can you include this image on some page? [22:05:16] actually, the "file history" shows only the last upload of it that I made after the upgrade to 1.12.0 [22:05:25] let me see if I can link to it from another page [22:07:02] Duesentrieb: yes I can.. It links and shows. [22:07:16] Duesentrieb: So it's just all the old graphics from 1.5.6 that won't show..

[22:09:06] sorry, don't know what the problem is. try to get hold of timstarling, perhaps. he rewrote the image handling recently [22:09:39] 03brion * r34276 10/trunk/extensions/OggHandler/OggHandler_body.php: XHTML fix for ogg player icons: -> [22:09:41] he's on irc often, though australia-timed. [22:11:01] how can I override Special:UserLogin ? [22:12:20] Duesentrieb: ok.. btw, I noticed it'll show the image on the new page I made but not on the original page... like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=image:VLAN_Basics_2.jpg‎ [22:13:13] huh? [22:14:44] Duesentrieb: it's strange.. I will try to track this through the code.. and, if still necessary, try to find timstarling, as you suggest. [22:15:08] 03brion * r34277 10/trunk/phase3/ (5 files in 4 dirs): [22:15:08] Revert r34267, r34268, r34269, r34270 for now. [22:15:08] I don't like the UI chhanges here; the file usage links simply disappear from [22:15:08] their current location with no warning or explanation, while the in-page TOC at [22:15:08] the top suddenly starts linking to a different page, totally unexpectedly. [22:15:16] might just be a caching problem. try to purge. check edit preview, that's never cached. [22:15:36] Duesentrieb: good point... ok.. i will kill my cache [22:16:08] nope.. didn't work [22:21:15] 03brion * r34278 10/trunk/phase3/includes/ (Database.php DefaultSettings.php): [22:21:15] Revert r34199, r34205 for now. [22:21:15] I don't really like the var name $wgSharedDBtables (inconsistent caps). [22:21:15] Compare with Gregory's patch on bug 2396: [22:21:15] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2396 [22:21:15] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=3610 [22:21:19] That uses a var named $wgSharedTables, but makes it more flexible (allowing arbitrary DB and prefix per table), which may or may not be a super idea.

[22:28:21] !hooks [22:28:21] --mwbot-- Hooks allow you to run functions at various points in the main MediaWiki code. For more information about using hooks in MediaWiki, see . [22:28:36] there is a hook that lets you set up a different login page thingie in there i believe [22:28:41] 03siebrand * r34281 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/ (16 files): Localisation updates. Rebuilt all language files. [22:31:14] $wgHooks['AutoAuthenticate'][] me thinks [22:56:18] Hi! When I look at the latest eswiki article dump, it seems to have 670000 articles. But http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Statistics seems to say that it has 357944 articles. Any idea what's up with that? [22:57:09] cjb: could it be total pages vs. main namespace pages? [22:57:45] siebrand: The dump's download link says: [22:57:46] Articles, templates, image descriptions, and primary meta-pages. [22:58:09] 357944 articles means... [22:58:10] So I guess the image descriptions/templates count as articles, and maybe they're the 2x difference? [22:58:12] cjb: looks like that's is... [22:58:17] that many pages, in the main namespace, that aren't redirects, and contain one link [22:58:24] so templates/meta/images don't count towards that [22:58:29] contain the string [[, isn't it? [22:58:30] "Excluyéndolas, hay 357.944 páginas que probablemente son artículos legítimos." [22:58:43] = main namespace, containing a link [22:58:54] carl-m: I believe it means registered internal links [22:59:04] I thought it just looked for the string [[ these days [22:59:10] so excluding interwiki/interlang/category, but including images [22:59:15] now I need to pull out the source [22:59:18] heh [22:59:20] :) [22:59:25] presence of '[[', yes [22:59:30] thanks [22:59:33] (note the live counters may not be accurate due to drift) [22:59:37] Okay. So the 350k vs. 690k makes sense. [23:00:01] I wish I could cut down the size of the eswiki article dump without much loss of content. [23:00:16] before or after you download it? [23:00:20] after [23:00:30] I'm trying to ship something for OLPC, based on the eswiki article dump [23:00:38] and serving the data out compressed, a la wikipedia-iphone. [23:00:54] ah [23:00:59] But hoping to go 480M -> ~100M without losing much probably isn't very realistic :) [23:01:22] maybe if I just take an earlier dump, and hope that the "most important" articles are the ones that were created first.. [23:01:30] heh [23:01:36] cjb: "importance" of entries can easily be esitmated from the number in incomming links. if you want it more accurately and have cycles to burn, calculate page rank :) [23:01:38] take an earlier dump but get the newest versions of those articles? [23:01:53] Splarka: ooh, that's a fine idea. [23:02:13] no it isn't, due what Duesentrieb said ^_^ [23:02:21] heh [23:02:37] and reduce thumbnails, remove meta pages when possible, and no templates should be needed if you are doing a static release right? [23:02:46] actually, if you want roughly "older" pages, you can go by ID. not completly accurated, but pretty close. [23:03:01] I'm just worried that I'll give a dump to kids who are offline in Peru or somewhere, and it'll have missed some basic science thing (like, say, "DNA Replication") because it only had incoming links from a few Biology pages. [23:03:12] Splarka: thumbnails aren't in the article dump [23:03:32] you're not including any images? [23:03:51] I was going to hand-pick some images later, I guess, but there's not much spce in the size budget for it. [23:04:03] cjb: you can also try to traverse the category structure, starting at some "important" points. how much that strips out, and how much cruft it includes, depends on how well structured categories are on that wiki [23:04:05] eswiki is 480M for just compressed article text, and I want to give something standalone that's useful in about 100M. [23:04:11] enwiki sucks badly wrt this [23:04:21] Duesentrieb: it seems that you quickly end up pulling in everything [23:04:39] depending on the structure, yes. [23:04:40] for example, the Science article links to the Religion article. Even if I just follow one link from every page, it seems I quickly get everything pulled in. [23:04:51] you can get more sophisticated, using spreading activation or some such [23:05:01] but that ammounts top about that same as pagerank or HITS [23:05:11] or number of edits. [23:05:30] heh [23:05:42] yes, that's the "age" criterion [23:05:45] I guess there's actually a wikislice community I should be talking to. [23:05:48] Duesentrieb: more than just age [23:05:55] shich is roughly correlated to number of links, btw [23:06:03] huh. [23:06:10] (not only in wikipedia, in all "natural" hypertext networks) [23:06:41] rank all pages by number of revisions (more == better), date of first revision (older == better), date of last revision (newer == better), number of links (more == better), and length of page (longer == better), weight each rank and sum, then take the top 20% [23:07:37] cjb: for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BA_model [23:07:41] date of first/last revision can just go by rev id# (or article id#) [23:08:17] Splarka: incomming links. outgoing are not so meaningfull. [23:09:06] cjb: you could post to WikiResearch-l [23:09:10] Dues: that is what I meant [23:09:20] number of links TO, to clarify [23:09:25] yea, i guessed so, but it wasn't quite clear :) [23:09:29] bah [23:09:38] .splarka {color:transparent;} [23:09:39] better? [23:09:55] Okay. Next question, I guess: how much would I expect the full 3G dump to take up uncompressed in a db? It looked like it was going to take a few days to get it imported to mysql for mwdumper when I tried last night. [23:10:10] right, incoming links, got it [23:10:29] cjb: test with simplewiki. it' [23:10:39] it's nice and small, and gives you an impression of what to expect [23:10:58] uncompressing xml/text from bzip2 should be about factor 10-20 [23:11:29] Duesentrieb: *nod* [23:11:31] putting it in a database with all link tables, and all indexes on that... hell if i know. factor 2 or 3 maybe? [23:11:47] does mysql usually store data compressed? [23:11:51] [23:11:58] the secondary data is for relations, while the bulk is made up of plain text, so it's hard to tell [23:12:08] no, maysql doesn't compress [23:12:16] ah, interesting [23:12:19] mediawiki can be told to compress revisions [23:12:26] I wonder if there's a per-table option to compress text in mysql. Seems like there should be. [23:12:36] not sure how easy it is to set that up [23:14:59] cjb, in recent versions I think there are table types that allow that. [23:15:07] But I don't think it's true as a general transparent thing, no. [23:15:09] *nod* [23:15:15] Although it should be! :) [23:15:23] I'm looking for it, but it looks like the compression in mysql 5 is a different sort of thing [23:15:30] makes sense that if you want speedy access to your database, you probably don't want to store everything compressed. [23:15:48] it would only make sense for long text [23:16:01] i.e. clob types [23:16:11] depends on the language model [23:16:32] if you have a language model that was precompiled against the uncompressed data, it would make sense to compress every shortish strings with it [23:17:33] that would still be very slow [23:17:56] while the overhead for the relatively rare retrieval of full text would probably be barablke [23:18:03] compressing short strings is not going to help much [23:18:10] right, it would be optimizing heavily for space at the expense of speed [23:18:29] might not save much space either [23:19:00] for an application like XO, that might make sense. but for that, you wouldn't want a full blown relational db anyway. [23:19:55] yeah. so, at the moment we're keeping everything in the .xml.bz2 with an index, and uncompressing the specific block an article's in when it's asked for. [23:20:24] nice [23:21:52] Evening everyone [23:22:24] Might I be able to find an eswiki dump from <200802? That's the oldest on download.mediawiki.org.

[23:31:46] I can't find it anywhere [23:34:04] Ktron: it's not possible with the usual image linking syntax. you can use an imagemap, though [23:34:17] carl-m, an imagemap? [23:34:25] Look at Help:Images [23:34:53] but the real answer is you have to do it some other way, you can't just do a piped link [23:36:32] carl-m, do I need to have an extension installed for ImageMaps? [23:37:14] I believe it's Extension:ImageMap [23:37:28] that's what's enabled on wikipedia [23:37:30] !imagelink [23:37:30] --mwbot-- Image linking is intentionally not supported in MediaWiki, so access to the image's description page is always available. If you need image links, see for methods and information. [23:37:39] carl-m, I apologize, that was a dumb question, its just barely further along the page [23:37:42] (there are many more ways than just imagemap) [23:37:53] javascript [23:38:08] css offsets, site-wide css, external images, other imagemap-like extensions [23:38:29] javascript sucks ^_^ [23:38:47] you don't even need it, you can use site-wide css, and it has per-page control [23:39:21] is there any way except imagemap that works for the blind? [23:39:43] in what way does imagemap work for the blind? [23:39:46] it can't show them the image [23:39:58] you specify alt text for each object in the imagemap [23:40:03] I'm actually putting it in a template, so I'm debating between making the Image: page a redirect and installing Extension:Icon [23:40:17] I think for now I'll just make them redirects [23:40:39] well, his need of creating a whole image linking elsewhere is not the same as utilizing a proper USEMAP attribute of img [23:41:10] the linkedImage extension looks reasonable [23:42:10] Bleh, the #REDIRECT doesn't seem to work [23:42:52] carl: right, but sometimes, if it is say just one image on one page that need an external link, site-wide css is much simpler [23:43:11] but for something like a navigation template system using icons, that extension is much easier [23:44:03] sure, if you just needed one image, maybe CSS can do [23:45:00] 03(mod) Use Preprocessor_Hash by default to avoid missing DOM module errors - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13770 (10Simetrical+wikibugs) [23:45:47] 03(mod) Option to watch the user pages of users you block - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13950 (10Simetrical+wikibugs) [23:47:27] 03(mod) Use Preprocessor_Hash by default to avoid missing DOM module errors - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13770 (10brion) [23:56:55] Is there a way to make MediaWiki validate against an external database?
