My change is here: http://www.appropedia.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&diff=45620&oldid=31309 [02:27:18] that's odd [02:29:42] It's the same as the way the toolbox displays, FWIW [02:31:41] Chriswaterguy: try removing the blank lines inbetween the sections, and add a space after each parent heading [02:37:00] a space, using space bar, as opposed to a blank line? [02:39:27] no no, remove the blank lines inbetween each section. and put a space inbetween * navigation * community and * topic areas [02:39:40] ah :) [02:40:15] no put a space after each single asterisk [02:40:20] now* [02:41:28] no change [02:41:57] will debug - go back and make a little change at a time [02:43:44] maybe it has something to do with the : before each category, its a system page. it won't categorize it, no need for them [02:44:56] ok [02:44:56] but the mystery is - why does it only happen to the first section? [02:45:20] im not sure, im just looking at possibilities, stuff that seems "off" [02:48:37] found something: removing hyphenated title in first line is the cause, but don't know why. This is where it pops up: http://www.appropedia.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&diff=45628&oldid=45627 [02:51:38] the issue isn't caused in a non-modified monobook [02:52:00] really? hmm [02:55:44] for now, using two words in first title (but no hyphen) and it's working [02:57:07] just noticed that "Appropriate technology" splits onto two lines - need a wide sidebar i guess [02:57:31] anyway, looking better - thanks Charitwo [02:57:51] np [02:59:34] btw, is this a good place to ask for CSS help? working on a new skin for the site, at http://www.appropedia.org/User:Chriswaterguy/monobook.css [03:00:35] splarka is pretty good with js and css, although he isnt here atm [03:03:35] cool - thanks!

Seems that mediawiki is taking seconds to generate each page, and my average processing time is about 3 secs per page. I wanted to compare that against indexing static.wikipedia.org - but the download page says the limit is 1 page per second - does that hold for static.wikipedia.org or just the main site. If not, whats the [04:23:00] rate limit on static? Anyone think of an alternative for a local index? [04:26:31] when I use the markup [[#content]] I get the html "#content" can I get something like "top" ? [04:27:28] Winton: why would you want to index the unpacked static.wikipedia.org? [04:27:35] you could just download the tarball and do it locally [04:31:35] do you want the english wikipedia or some other wiki? because the english dump isn't done yet [04:37:14] neil_d [[#content|top]] [04:37:38] darkcode: thanks ! [04:45:53] Tim, I'm doing some really high volume searches on Yahoo which arent sustainable, for a natural language algorithm, and I really need a local index [04:46:18] There's a static wiki tarball? The March one is a broken stub [04:46:46] http://static.wikipedia.org/downloads/2008-03/en/ [04:46:57] The last good one is June last year I think [04:48:13] but yes, if there is a copy of the March one that is good, I'd love the url [04:56:46] sorry, back now [04:57:05] np, about to watc Battlestar :) [04:57:16] the copy that's unpacked on the web is the June 2008 version [04:57:25] it's half complete, that's why there's no tarball [04:57:31] heh [04:57:35] once it finishes, a tarball will be generated for it [04:57:38] ok - when was the last good one? [04:57:47] I don't know, 2004? [04:57:52] ugh :/ [04:57:54] you should wait for it to finish [04:58:01] Do you have an eta? [04:58:18] (appreciate your response btw, sorry to be curt) [04:59:49] it's saying that it's done 78% of ordinary articles, after about a week [05:00:35] it'll probably speed up towards the end because the articles get shorter [05:01:11] great news - my alternate plan was to hack Rainman's lucene mediawiki mod [05:01:14] then once it's done with that, it might spend another day or so on shared image descriptions, then it'll tar it up [05:01:28] how big will it be, any idea? [05:04:52] the german one was 3.1GB, and the ratio english to german of equivalent XML dumps is about 3.8, so probably around 12GB [05:05:37] hi! [05:05:41] hi domas [05:05:45] hello domas [05:07:20] thanks so much - i'll try rainman's direct from xml dump indexer i guess - it will take a longwhile to download that.

Am I doing something wrong? (never rangeblockedbefore) [08:30:28] you can't range block wider than /16 [08:30:47] because that's be idiotic, /11 is 2 million IPs [08:32:03] you could however, do 32 /16s to block that /11 [08:32:19] *Splarka has done that more than once [08:32:19] nite! [08:32:30] It's a private internal wiki, and we have a spammer from BT. None of us use BT, so I wanted to block their main range [08:32:51] how can someone spam a private internal wiki ? [08:32:54] what is the /11 ? [08:33:57] *Splarka has even blocked an /8 on one occasion, lots of opening of new tabs [08:35:20] It's not an onwiki problem, but we suspect it's one of our internal users [08:35:37] So we want to rangeblock so it picks up who it is [08:35:43] what is the /11 in particular you wish to block? [08:35:50] The range is 81.128.0.0/11 [08:35:54] why don't you do a CU ? [08:40:38] I hate script kiddies :( [08:41:48] but they love ya [08:42:28] hmm [08:42:43] TheFearow: http://p.defau.lt/?FArETjSJ0YEk_l9uxBtmBw [08:43:06] if you open all those into new tabs you should just need to sneek through them all and click [block this user] [08:47:13] (although you may wish to adjust the time and message and options and other boring stuff) [08:48:02] TimStarling: in ExtensionDistributor/svn-invoker.php, svnShellExec() shouldn't return $output ?

[10:26:33] if you don't have the right to edit it, you should have a view source tab [10:26:40] if not, action=raw will probably work [10:26:59] action=edit *should* work ... except in previous versions where it would just show a "you must log in" message instead [10:27:15] (but you could use action=edit on protected pages at the same wikis, silly programmers) [10:27:18] didn't that get fixed? i remember it did that when you were blocked too.. [10:27:28] sure, but you assume they have 1.13.bleeding.edge [10:27:43] The wiki being used is relatively old. [10:27:50] Not sure what version exactly, though.

[15:58:06] these auto summaries were accepted as summary some days ago. [16:07:50] I've got a template that has maybe 20 variables. I need one more, unfortunately this is going to be rendered as a table and has an unknown length. I don't mind the template user constructing the table (i.e. passing a table to a var) but this not working. [16:08:25] Has anyone dealt with this in a template before? The number of vars is kind of open-ended.

[18:32:01] ok.....then how about this [18:32:09] totally different question [18:33:07] if I want to insert a new hook into the code, how do I do that? So that I change all of my code-hacking into stuff that looks like hooks (and perhaps could be added as real hooks someday) [18:33:41] Smaug: basically, you insert a call to wfRunHooks and give it the appropriate parameters [18:33:51] grep for wfRunHooks to see how it's done [18:34:04] also, read docs/hooks.txt or whatever it is called [18:34:10] what is grep? is that some linux term? [18:34:19] fulltext search over files [18:34:25] in windows, hit f3 in the explorer [18:34:44] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep [18:34:55] i can recommend unxutils for windows, btw [18:35:19] thanks, will read that text file [18:35:40] there's also some documentation on mediawiki.org [18:35:41] !hooks [18:35:41] --mwbot-- Hooks allow you to run functions at various points in the main MediaWiki code. For more information about using hooks in MediaWiki, see . [18:37:53] How do I clone an existing MediaWiki installation without shell access? [18:39:12] (I have FTP access though.) [18:43:17] FGHI: download the extensions directory and LocalSettings.php [18:43:47] does anyone know approximately how long it'll be before the next stable release? [18:43:48] then add those to an install running the same version in the target directory [18:44:07] Prod: I think 1.13 will be stable in September [18:44:27] I know. And skins. But how do I clone pages and user accounts and the corresponding user actions in pages' histories? [18:44:41] but stable is really just a snapshot [18:44:57] 03grondin * r36294 10/trunk/extensions/ExtensionDistributor/ (ExtensionDistributor.i18n.php ExtensionDistributor.php): Adding extension informations [18:45:00] yea [18:45:14] but at least it gets more widespread testing [18:45:43] FGHI: you need to dump the database and then import the dump file into a new db [18:46:19] is there a PHP script for it? [18:46:54] FGHI: run the query [18:47:00] nm [18:47:04] I've heard of smth named like 'mediawiki tools' or like that, but I just can't recall or google. [18:47:14] FGHI: try phpmyAdmin [18:48:05] the reason I ask is because my site is still on 1.11, and an upgrade to 1.12 is going to be major, and we don't want to have to go through that if 1.13 is just going to be released the next week and we have to go through it all over again [18:48:45] Ah, found it! http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mw_tools [18:52:13] Alexfusco5|Away: September? I heard June 2008! Have I heard wrong? [18:52:39] 1.12 was in march [18:52:52] so if they stick to quarterly it would be june [18:57:39] i've read all about hooks and now understand that I am phrasing it wrong. I do not want to create a new hook, but rather a whole new event! [18:57:51] (and then a hook) [18:58:57] Duesentrieb: thanks for the text file and link, it helped me come to this realization. Neither, however, explains how to create events, only hooks for events that already exists [19:07:24] 03jojo * r36295 10/trunk/extensions/Collection/ (4 files in 2 dirs): remove shared base URL stuff, which is not needed any more by newest mwlib code [19:10:35] 03(NEW) Cache Issue with "This page was last modified on ..." - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14541 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: Page rendering; (michael.frey) [19:17:01] Smaug: as i said: all you need to do is insert a call to wfRunHooks at the place you want the event to fire, and povide the parameters you want to be able to use in your hook function. look at existing calls to wfRunHooks for examples. [19:17:17] ok [19:17:47] Smaug: when you have inserted such a call in a place convenient for you, submit a patch to bugzilla - patches that just insert hook points (aka events) tend to be accepted quickly.

I have many fields, but one can have many many values to display as a table. [19:36:51] Mookie, what do you mean? [19:37:57] ..? [19:38:48] Hrm. How can I reword it. My template takes named parameters. [19:39:05] give me an examply [19:39:06] But, one of those values will be rendered as a table. [19:39:11] {{template|param|param}} [19:39:14] resuly [19:39:16] result* [19:39:20] It potentially could have infinite rows. [19:39:30] I do not know how big this thing could be. The template user decides. [19:39:57] show me an example of a user using it [19:41:25] {{ shoppnig list template | username | {| bread | milk | eggs |} }} # obviously, newlines would be needed in the table [19:42:15] I know this example won't work as-is. table must span a couple of lines. [19:42:50] huh [19:43:10] There is no way for me to know how many items will be on the shopping list. So I was hoping the template user can just hand me a table for display. [19:43:23] problematic indeed [19:43:33] maybe it's possible [19:43:49] I don't have enough experience to do it :P [19:43:51] I dunno how [19:43:52] sry [19:43:52] mewo [19:43:53] I've found an entry about using another template {{!}} which just outputs a | [19:44:03] yes [19:44:07] {{!}} is known [19:44:24] it helps to use | without making it think as a new argument [19:44:29] you could use [19:44:54] username | {{{!}} bread {{!}} milk {{!}} eggs {{!}}} }} [19:44:59] in your examply [19:45:02] example* [19:45:13] what's wrong with me and the 'y' today? :P [19:45:20] Hrm. Let me try it out. [19:45:54] try it [19:49:29] Mookie: i have an idea for you [19:49:47] have one parameter be the number of rows, or something [19:50:08] then all of the following parameters are numbered [19:50:19] since a user can add in any number of numbered parameters [19:50:43] use parser functions to check how many rows, construct such a table, and then put the parameter values into each [19:50:50] hrm [19:50:57] so in the template, instead of {{{1}}} and {{{2}}} [19:51:19]
