[00:06:54] at least as interoperable as posix ;) [00:07:03] which is to say, if you try to be portable it usually works [00:07:26] of course the standard doesn't cover things like the windows forms ui libraries -- that sort of area tends to be the scariest [00:07:35] or weird hybrid code that calls lots of windows native functions ;) [00:07:47] But neither does, say, the C standard. [00:07:49] Oh well. [00:07:51] yep [00:08:12] but you can write portable code pretty well -- there's a nice gtk stack that works on both unix and windows ;) [00:08:29] and i guess their windows.forms implementation mostly works but i've never had any need to work with stuff written for windows front-ends [00:08:51] just played with some server-side things and some client software written for the gtk stack (gnome stuff) [00:15:31] Man, why do we have agreement in C on how to do everything except OS services that go beyond command-line printing and basic file use?

[00:25:24] nihiltres, maybe you want #mysql? [00:25:28] heh, probably [00:25:49] I'll head there and come back if that doesn't help [00:26:46] *AaronSchulz awaits his return [00:26:57] heh [00:27:25] Soooo, good 'ole Simetrical, how goes it? [00:28:57] nihiltres: i think i just downloaded a mysql server for osx [00:29:11] pre-compiled, out of impatience [00:29:18] *Simetrical waves to AaronSchulz [00:29:30] well, yes, that's I think what I did [00:29:36] AaronSchulz, I'm busy shaking someone's faith in the objectivity of morality. [00:29:55] my real problem is configuring the user accounts so that MediaWiki can use it and there aren't gaping security holes [00:30:06] have fun with that :) [00:30:11] morality is subjective [00:30:26] exactly [00:30:28] and relative... you can't be right in "everything" [00:30:50] you can't put tigers on vegetarian diets ^_^ [00:30:59] Splarka: tell the former to Kant :p [00:31:05] can't [00:31:13] recant! [00:31:37] AaronSchulz, I think I've mostly convinced him. [00:32:43] morals are ethics enforced upon you [00:33:03] in the same way religions are philosophies forced on others [00:34:06] what is moral? primary conservation of self, of your offspring, of your life's work, of your family, of your community, state/country, religious or ethnic group, species, animal kingdom, all life, the surface of the planet, the whole planet, our solar system, the whole universe? [00:34:12] anyone have a clue why $wgOut->parse("{{".$wikitext."}}") wouldn't permit raw HTML (when $wgRawHTML = true)? [00:34:17] (back to mediawiki ;-) [00:34:17] which has precidence? [00:34:27] you're no fun ^_^ [00:37:16] my question always puts an end to all conversation :-( [00:38:35] are you sure that is the right parse function? the spaghetticode needs to be entered at the right point [00:38:55] well - it's the way Special:Call uses it [00:39:26] is the code called wrapped in ? [00:39:26] the preprocessor - which afaict normally deals with raw html - doesn't get called [00:39:32] wrapped, yes [00:39:50] is there some other way i could try calling parse() ? [00:39:53] is it... moral to do that? [00:40:16] *Splarka attempts conversation tangent again, which is moral, subjectively... and hides [00:43:28] don't ever do that AaronSchulz [00:43:40] why? :) [00:43:47] that is your only warning [00:44:06] oh, have a little humor [00:44:08] AaronSchulz: AGAIN! ;) [00:44:29] humor is one thing, kicking people from IRC channels for no reason is not humor [00:44:52] people, my parse problem still isn't solved, focus! ;-) [00:44:57] lol [00:45:04] Splarka: Maybe it would be funnier if he bacame a freenode staffer and used /kill ;) [00:45:27] Splarka: well the humor is just subjective, since I laughed [00:45:48] are you sure you wan't to adopt that attitude? [00:45:57] ^want [00:45:58] Splarka: and if the voice of all laugh's then we all laughed ;) [00:46:20] Splarka: bah, you're no fun anymore [00:46:55] *AaronSchulz gets his Game beta test key out [00:47:19] AaronSchulz: set mode +g so we can all invite spam ;) [01:01:57] 04(REOPENED) New revisions occasionally created with wrong text ( but correct rev_len) - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14933 +comment (10Platonides) [01:07:21] Simetrical: You about? [01:08:06] Splarka: but seriously, didn't mean to upset you :( [01:08:34] bah, conference mode again [01:09:57] YES! I SOLVED MY PROBLEM! [01:10:01] [01:11:01] MZMcBride, for a little longer. [01:11:28] __NOINDEX__ / __INDEX__ aren't supposed to work on ContentNamespaces by default, but I don't know what that means. [01:11:30] AaronSchulz, things don't work that way on this network. On some networks randomly kicking people is de rigeur, like QuakeNet, but not here. [01:11:35] Is that even-numbered namespaces? [01:11:41] MZMcBride, no. By default, it's the main namespace. [01:11:46] Ahh. [01:11:48] It's customizable. [01:12:01] On MediaWiki.org, it includes namespaces like Manual: and Help: [01:12:01] Silly name for a variable... [01:12:02] . [01:12:08] What is? [01:12:17] Well, I guess not a silly name if it's customizable. [01:12:29] A content namespace is one that contains content, as opposed to "meta" stuff about the project and its users. [01:12:33] Or discussions, etc. [01:12:53] I always thought of content namespaces as any non-talk namespace. [01:12:58] Nope. [01:13:01] But I see what you're saying. [01:13:16] Anyway, basically, if people deindex pages, it's not going to be anything we really need to be on Google anyway. :) [01:13:19] There's still no way to track the magic word usage, and it's going to spread rapidly soon... [01:13:21] Just somebody's user page or something. [01:13:35] So? Not like it's a big deal. [01:13:40] Or the Wikipedia: pages. :/ [01:13:43] It doesn't affect internal search, or important pages. [01:13:48] Sure. [01:14:00] "Haphazard application that's unmonitored" is my concern. [01:14:00] Some of those *shouldn't* be indexed. [01:14:14] Yeah, but everything in wikis is generally haphazard and unmonitored. [01:14:16] Of course. [01:14:26] This doesn't seem like a particular concern. [01:14:40] Of course it is. [01:14:48] If nobody cares enough about the page to notice random __NOINDEX__ creeping in, clearly it's not very important anyway. :) [01:14:49] What is unmonitored? [01:14:59] Categories, templates, images ... all montiored. [01:15:02] Monitored, too. [01:15:13] Pagelinks, transclusions, etc. --> all monitored. [01:15:17] Everything is unmonitored, unless you count recentchanges and similar things. Which track __INDEX__ too. [01:15:22] Every edit to every page is unmonitored. [01:15:32] Just as much as edits that add or remove __NOINDEX__. [01:15:34] Page protections have a Special: page to list them. [01:15:41] __TOC__ is unmonitored. [01:15:52] __TOC__ doesn't change Google's results. ;) [01:15:55] And you know that. [01:16:21] Adding "MZMcBride enjoys the company of female poodles" changes Google's results. [01:16:23] And do we really want people making thousands of edits in a mis-guided effort to noindex an entire namespace? [01:16:27] It adds that string to the page. [01:16:42] If people make thousands of stupid edits, that's their waste of time. [01:17:32] Basically, __NOINDEX__ is no worse than some random bit of libel, which is tracked no better. [01:17:44] Bah! [01:17:49] Maybe we could add a message to the page when you're editing it saying that the robot policy has been overridden. [01:17:56] We're (supposed to be) implementing flagged revisions for that. [01:18:06] Flagged revisions should work for this too. [01:18:34] "Their waste of time" and a giant waste of resources. [01:18:51] Why is there NO documentation for BoardVote? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BoardVote [01:19:05] I mean what configuration options are there, or how do I enable it, etc.? [01:19:16] Oh, come on. Like we should avoid features because people will waste some of their time if they're too stupid to realize how to use them correctly? [01:19:19] That's an untenable attitude. [01:19:31] lymeca, because it's meant to be a Wikimedia-only extension? [01:19:41] We keep almost everything trackable. [01:19:47] lymeca, it's designed specifically for voting for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees on Wikimedia sites. [01:19:52] MZMcBride, this is every bit as trackable as any edit. [01:19:56] From edits to template usage to image usage to userrights changes. [01:19:59] oh [01:20:11] a noindex option for FlaggedRevs would be nice, and __NOINDEX__ seems pointless when anyone could just remove it, something like MediaWiki:no-index-pages would make more sense... [01:20:16] Simetrical: It could easily be more trackable. [01:20:24] MZMcBride, "easily"? Then submit a patch. [01:20:28] Heh. [01:20:30] ;) [01:20:54] I'm saying that the framework to track magic words and other weird parts of page text like this is already written and available. [01:21:01] darkcode, it's not pointless. It's meant for things like, say, RFA. Put it in the header template and you noindex all of them without having to constantly update robots.txt. [01:21:24] MZMcBride, what "framework to track magic words and other weird parts of page text"? [01:21:25] But we don't know if someone's done that already or not. [01:21:44] *AaronSchulz heard "FlaggedRevs" [01:21:45] darkcode, MediaWiki:No-index-pages doesn't scale to 2,000 back issues of AN/I. :) [01:21:49] More than 500 #ifexists puts the page into a category. [01:21:52] *Simetrical lures AaronSchulz away with candy [01:21:57] There's another example... [01:22:07] MZMcBride, ah, we could put it into a category. That's a viable implementation scheme. [01:22:18] And an underused one, perhaps. [01:22:30] I could do that right now except that I won't, because I'm going to sleep. [01:22:33] should be two categories [01:22:37] and one should be indexed ^_^ [01:22:38] Splarka, of course. [01:23:20] Simetrical: is it possible to categorize the pages that physically have the magic word, and not pages that transclude it? [01:23:34] so {{foo}} with __NOINDEX__ and not [[Bar]] containing {{foo}} [01:23:36] Simetrical, MediaWiki:No-index-pages could make use of regexprs like "* Wikipedia:Request_for_adminship/.*" [01:23:40] Splarka, probably possible, probably not desirable. [01:23:57] darkcode, yay, more regexes! Tim just had to disable UsernameBlacklist because its enormous regexes broke the site. :) [01:24:07] well, I mean, tracking __NOINDEX__ might be more desirable than seeing a spammy list of all pages with it [01:24:32] Splarka, except that if you see [[Template:Qulzpfstn]] on the list you have no idea that it's secretly transcluded into [[WP:NPOV]]. [01:24:52] (or, 4 categories.. [[Category:Pages manually indexed]] [[Category:Pages manually noindexed]] [[Category:Pages indexed by transclusion]] [[Category:Pages noindexed by transclusion]] ) [01:24:58] Simetrical ok LIKE statements "* Wikipedia:Request_for_adminship/%" [01:25:04] I'm looking at Extension:WikiPDF and there's an ominous message on the top of the page: "Doesn't work" [01:25:10] No other details... [01:25:25] lymeca: tell the truth, are you installing *every* extension just to try them all? [01:25:29] darkcode, how about dozens of individual pages? People who don't want their user page indexed, say? [01:25:47] This is a wiki, we don't need everything to be sysops-only. [01:26:00] Splarka: I've only asked about 2. And no I'm not, only ones which have interesting functionality. [01:26:11] __HIDDENCAT__ [01:26:16] That's the other example, I believe. [01:26:38] Yes, that's what Tim made up the idea for. [01:26:39] example of what? system-side categorization? [01:26:48] It could use some polish, like ignoring user entries into the category. [01:26:55] Splarka: Yes. [01:26:59] And maybe we could have a meta-category to include all of these, as they multiply. [01:27:13] #ifexist and __HIDDENCAT__ have categories populated based on page text. [01:27:19] well [01:27:28] not just #ifexist, any expensive parserfunctions [01:27:36] (what is the other one though.. I forget) [01:27:46] PAGESIZE? [01:27:59] The category members one? [01:28:18] probably [01:28:43] yep {{PAGESINCATEGORY}} [01:32:23] Simetrical, I'm just thinking that __NOINDEX__ would in ineffective in preventing indexing if anyone can remove it or add it, just another way to vandalise, someone decides they want to make a bunch of pages suddenly not get indexed at random, to improve there website ranking [01:36:00] maybe make it another protection level that can cascaded, where users can also add that protection level to there own user pages... [01:36:15] ugh [01:37:03] giving more edit power to users == wiki++;, giving more power to users to prevent otheres from editing == wiki--; [01:37:23] 03shinjiman * r38210 10/ (10 files in 4 dirs): [01:37:23] Update the Chinese conversion tables [01:37:23] Last minute changes for the release branch 1.13 [01:39:24] its not really editing related though, its just indexing related [01:40:13] still, it does reduce editing incentive [01:40:49] Simetrical: what do you think about general magic word tracker categories for all "senisitve" magic words, like __HIDDENCAT__ __INDEX__ __NOINDEX__ __NEWSECTIONLINK__ __NOGALLERY__ {{int:xyz}} {{DISPLAYTITLE:xyz}} etc [01:41:20] and (hypothetically, though the code might be dirrrrrrty) pages that have it literally could be defaultsorted as *, those transcluding could have it alphabetically [01:41:56] and then instead of custom categorizing hacks for each new one, there could be a simple system in place [01:44:16] (per silly idea, as if each __NOINDEX__ page had [[Category:Noindexed pages|*{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]) [01:44:19] imo, that looks doable, though not sure of the use [01:44:51] man, I should eat something [01:46:55] Simetrical: hey, wait a minute.

[03:36:06] unreliable [03:36:21] DanielTahar: do you want to actually restrict their ability to view the page, DanielTahar? [03:36:27] mm, redundancy, oops [03:36:41] or he can make an extension w/ the wgUser variable [03:37:02] *Splarka nods [03:37:06] perhaps a modification of sitenotice [03:37:29] erm, can just use anon notice if that is the only change [03:37:38] there's [[MediaWiki:Anonnotice]] [03:37:58] *Splarka only said that twice, heh [03:38:05] lol [03:38:24] well, not really [03:38:27] it's no biggie [03:38:42] note that sitenotices are cached oddly, things like {{#SWITCH:{{NAMESPACE}}}} or {{PAGENAME}} won't work as you predict [03:38:45] i'll just use a line saying "don't forget to login or register" [03:38:59] DanielTahar: add it to [[MediaWiki:Anonnotice]] [03:39:22] you could even make it namespace specific (not with #switch) [03:39:41]

in MediaWiki:Anonnotice [03:39:58] #remindanonstoregister {display:none;} [03:40:06] body.ns-0 #remindanonstoregister {display:block;} [03:40:12] would have it only show in article namespace [03:42:49] thanks!

I'm not 100% on that :( [04:18:51] hmm [04:22:50] ^demon: What's the best way to delete a user from the wiki? [04:23:09] user merge and delete extension [04:23:41] if you absolutely *have* to delete someone, otherwise I'd just leave 'em there [04:24:07] <^demon> What he said ^ :-) [04:25:00] best way is not to, ^_^ [04:33:27] *Splarka wonders if the API should have an indicator in props=categoryinfo for __NOGALLERY__ [04:35:02] http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=categoryinfo|revisions&rvprop=content&titles=Category:Maps%20in%20Spanish|Category:The_Ashes,_1882 <-- eg, this works, but only if it isn't transcluded [04:38:30] <^demon> Just for my own curious interest, why does protection code require a dummy revision be put into the database? [04:39:44] to show on watchlist, history, contribs? [04:40:11] (although it broke in watchlists for the longest time) [04:41:02] <^demon> I figured if it made a log entry, why bother with a revision? Other logged actions don't do that. [04:41:24] move does [04:41:32] and log entries don't show on history/contribs [04:41:46] It's always made me sad that move uses a Special: page. [04:42:09] <^demon> MZMcBride: You'd prefer action=move? [04:42:14] Yes. [04:42:57] *^demon shrugs. [04:46:54] it always made me sad that log actions against users and user pages were treated the same [04:47:17] you block [[User:Splarka]] and protect [[User:Splarka]], you delete [[User:Splarka]] and promote [[User:Splarka]] in userrights, etc [04:47:57] (for the purposes of Special:Log that is) [04:49:26] Yes, that's horribly confusing as well. [04:49:40] Especially with the text boxes Title: and User:. [04:49:42] maybe for new users [04:49:46] *Splarka wonders how to tell if a category has __NOGALLERY__ [04:49:56] AaronSchulz: Not just new users. [04:49:58] yeah, having to say User: is prolly the worse part [04:50:18] I can tell per-page via getElementsByClassName mw-category-media, but.. meh [04:50:47] *AaronSchulz plays with DPL [04:50:54] Would a magicwordlinks table be a terrible idea? [04:51:02] what for? [04:51:11] To track magic words. [04:51:22] it is doable without too much drain [04:51:31] but would it be worth it? [04:51:47] not sure since I don't know what one would do with the lists [04:51:54] I think the previous discussion about categorizing more magic word usage, like __HIDDENCATS__, is better [04:52:22] eg __INDEX__ __NOINDEX__ __NOGALLERY__, maybe a few others like displaytitle [04:52:35] yeah, that's what I thinking of [04:52:38] <^demon> It'd be similar to the IW table, I guess. The question is: do you want to query the magicwords table on every pageview so you can then run them through the parser? I guess it could be cached _very_ heavily... [04:53:03] ^demon: not any worse the pagelinks lag [04:53:08] <^demon> True. [04:53:18] like if a template is conditionally included and has cats [04:53:32] the cat data would get lagged if the condition changed [04:53:44] well, for things like time and stuff [04:54:12] heh [04:55:07] what would {{#ifexpr: {{CURRENTDAY}} mod 3 > 1 | __HIDDENCAT__ }} do I wonder [04:56:42] the table would be stuck on the state it was in during the last edit [04:57:11] or null edit, or purge, or edit to any templates transcluded on it? [04:57:35] I could null edits as 'edits' ;) [04:57:40] fair [04:57:41] not purge I believe [04:57:50] nor edits to templates [04:58:05] only very select magic words would need to be categorized or tabled, like those used once per page if at all, and rarely transcluded [04:58:06] edits to templates used call HTMLCacheUpdate which does purge on all pages used [04:58:13] but purge alone doesn't do linksupdate [04:58:44] Splarka: I think the parser output expire length is different for some pages with time magic words [04:58:52] still pretty hacky though [04:59:06] <^demon> My database is so messy now, I should probably redo my local install. Various funny bits here and there due to introducing/fixing bugs. [04:59:12] mm, hacky [04:59:37] ^demon: yeah, mine got pretty messed up at times [04:59:47] man, I love my rice cakes [05:00:06] like a bunch of page rows that pointed to revs that were not there [05:00:27] which leads to some *very* interesting behavoir [05:02:06] <^demon> AaronSchulz: Question about FlaggedRevs. When viewing search results, do the blurbs respect the sighted versions or not? [05:02:34] if a page has a sighted version, and it shows by default, only that version is indexed [05:02:47] well, assuming robots stuff is followed :) [05:03:33] <^demon> I meant the MW internal search :-) [05:04:05] lol [05:04:11] no, it is still the same [05:04:25] <^demon> Gotcha. [05:05:16] Splarka: well I suppose a null edit isn't an 'edit' in any ordinary sense of the word, since the page is the same and there is no history [05:05:50] mmm, I remember one fun bug [05:05:51] *AaronSchulz likes to indulge in jargon howeve [05:05:58] 03(NEW) Checkuser should display expired blocks as well as active ones - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14979 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki extensions: CheckUser; (mapellegrini) [05:06:00] some of the revision-specific timestamp magicwords... [05:06:02] *however [05:06:06] they'd change to the current time in null edit [05:06:14] but go back to last actual edit time with action=purge [05:06:15] People make trivial edits and use the summary "null edit" sometimes. That makes me sad. [05:06:18] *AaronSchulz lols at bug 14979 [05:06:31] heh, I said I was going to work on recursive checkuser months ago [05:07:26] 03(mod) Blocking and tagging from checkuser interface - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12808 normal->highest; +comment (10mapellegrini) [05:07:31] <^demon> And I keep saying I'm rewriting blocking. [05:07:52] 03(mod) Make DPL extension aware of FlaggedRevs for use on Wikinews - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14943 (10JSchulz_4587) [05:10:23] How are the passwords hashed in the DB? [05:10:25] Is it MD5? [05:10:33] It used to be. [05:10:52] It was md5(userid - md5(password)) [05:10:56] But I think it changed recently. [05:11:13] <^demon> AaronSchulz: Just tried to install FlaggedRevs on my fresh install. Update.php crashed. [05:11:24] lol [05:11:50] <^demon> plaggedpages table :-) [05:11:54] <^demon> *flagged [05:12:21] MZMcBride: Ah, well I'm using 1.13.0rc1 now, but I only use LDAP now so apparently passwords aren't stored in the DB which makes sense. But when I wasn't using LDAP I had 1.11.0 [05:12:34] So it depends on the MediaWiki version? Did 1.11.0 use MD5 hashing? [05:12:43] Yes. [05:14:24] ^demon: it shouldn't have to run anything there if it is fresh [05:14:49] <^demon> I was running update.php to make flaggedrevs tables appear ;-) [05:16:11] <^demon> http://pastey.net/92737 - there's the error, be right back. [05:17:10] ahh, did you run the flaggedrevs.sql query first? [05:19:48] anyone know how to access a page by it's ID number? [05:20:15] Access how? [05:20:52] normally - like instead of ?title=pagename, ?id=1003 [05:21:11] Try ?old=### [05:21:15] thanks [05:21:16] Oop. [05:21:20] ?oldid=### [05:21:23] ok [05:21:48] you might also need a null title [05:21:55] &title=-&oldid=123 [05:22:13] sometimes you get the main page without that [05:22:33] <^demon> AaronSchulz: I was under the impression that update.php added the tables :-P [05:22:41] nope [05:22:41] didn't seem to need a null title [05:22:48] <^demon> That would be why :-P [05:22:51] thanks, works well [05:24:51] Anyone able to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with the DISPLAYTITLE magic word? [05:25:52] if you're using >1.12 of MW it will only change capitalization [05:26:06] oh, I see [05:27:38] OverlordQ: sort of wrong and sort of wrong [05:27:45] I want to write an extension tag for my mediawiki instance, but within the extension I want to work out the name of the wiki that called it. Is there a global variable that can tell me that? [05:27:53] more specifically, it only changes the title in ways that make it still linkable by copypaste [05:27:58] well, acutally, I'm using 1.11.0 [05:28:27] eg, [[Foo Bar]] can be [[foo_Bar]] [[foo Bar]] [[Foo_Bar]] but not [[foo BAR]] [05:28:28] lol :) [05:28:58] and it might allow and or some other shit, or someone was requesting that [05:29:05] i know there was words like normalization in there somewhere but too lazy to remember correctly [05:29:12] heh [05:29:13] what about in version 1.11.0? [05:29:27] well, if you use it for that, it'll break when you upgrade ^_^ [05:29:53] how drastically do you need to change the titles? [05:30:23] So, was the original function completely trashed, or is there a new way to call it? [05:30:33] completely different :P [05:31:05] 03aaron * r38217 10/trunk/extensions/FlaggedRevs/ (FlaggedArticle.php FlaggedRevs.class.php): Improve and use getTagMsg() [05:31:23] <^demon> AaronSchulz: Works great now :-P [05:31:56] DuTempete: well, the original function was sorta silly... [05:31:59] be sure to try $wgGroupPermissions['*']['feedback'] = true; [05:32:36] <^demon> AaronSchulz: What's that do? [05:32:39] DuTempete: a lot of editors, a large percentage anyway, link to a page by copying the h1 class=firstHeading [05:32:50] ^demon: http://76.227.128.81/MW/index.php?title=Special:RatingHistory&target=Alexis_Bledel [05:32:59] if you mess with that, like by adding extra spacing, line returns, or changing it drastically, people complain [05:33:04] *AaronSchulz injected some test data [05:33:12] are you wanting to change the

or the or both? [05:33:27] <DuTempete> basically, I want a page ".../nameyyyymm" to display as "month of year, for name" [05:33:28] <^demon> Ooh, pretty :-) [05:33:37] <DuTempete> Splarka, my site is not public [05:34:06] <AaronSchulz> ^demon: the girl or the graph? ;) [05:34:12] <jdownie> ???I want to write an extension tag for my mediawiki instance, but within the extension I want to work out the name of the wiki that called it. Is there a global variable that can tell me that? [05:34:16] <Splarka> DuTempete: looks like it was changed to the normalizing method in 1.10 [05:34:19] <Splarka> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgAllowDisplayTitle [05:34:20] <^demon> AaronSchulz: Graph. [05:34:28] <Splarka> http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=23393 [05:34:39] <Splarka> so if you have revision higher than 23393, you can't even use it on yours as you want [05:34:42] <DuTempete> There will be 6 regular editors to begin, with a possibility of 8 in the future :P [05:34:52] <Splarka> you'll have to use javascript [05:35:07] <Splarka> or an extension with another parser tag hook or parser function [05:35:20] <Splarka> something like {{#realtitle:}} [05:35:21] <DuTempete> gotcha [05:35:37] <Splarka> that actually shouldn't be too hard, read up on how to make an extension ^_^ [05:35:54] <DuTempete> I don't have the time [05:36:32] <DuTempete> I'm designing a family wiki, with the main function being as a calendar, in my spare time atm :P [05:36:39] <Splarka> could you live with redirects? [05:36:43] <DuTempete> nope [05:36:49] <DuTempete> doesn't solve my problem [05:36:51] <Splarka> ".../nameyyyymm" would still be the URL [05:36:56] <Splarka> you could hide 'redirected from' [05:37:29] <Splarka> ahh well, go with a hacky JS solution for now, switch to extension later if anyone can write it for ya [05:38:13] <DuTempete> I want my mother to know what page she is editing without having to think to hard about what the name means, whilst still being able to alphabetise the pages automatically within the category :P [05:38:26] <Splarka> eg, if you make {{realtitle|foobar}} with content <div id="realtitle-override">{{{1}}}</div> ... you can change the content of that template later to {{#realtitle:{{{1}}}}} when you have an extension [05:38:56] <Splarka> and until then, use an addOnloadHook(function() { ... }) that checks for document.getElementById('realtitle-override') [05:39:30] <Splarka> and sets document.title and getElementsByClassName(document,'h1','firstHeading')[0] [05:40:14] <Splarka> like 5 lines of code [05:40:24] <DuTempete> *nod* Thanks much. [05:40:31] <Splarka> rar [05:40:41] <DuTempete> I have a buddy who is far better with JS than I am. I'll make him do it fo rme :P [05:40:49] <Lady_Aleena> zip :) [05:40:59] <Splarka> heh [05:41:00] <DuTempete> That stuff gets a bit too advanced for me! [05:41:08] <lymeca> Does anyone know where to find the e-mail address of Ryan Lane? [05:41:12] <Splarka> well, be sure to tell him to use addOnloadHook (built in), easy [05:41:57] <Lady_Aleena> Splarka, sorry, couldn't help myself, the very first thing I saw when comig back in was "rar" and the first thing that popped into my head was [05:41:59] <DuTempete> yeah, he alreday uses that. He's written quite a fair chunck of JS for a particular mediawiki site [05:42:01] <Lady_Aleena> "zip". [05:42:08] <Splarka> silly lady [05:42:15] <Splarka> Du: sweet, then he can do it no prob [05:42:36] <DuTempete> yeah, probably have it written in about 10 minutes. [05:42:38] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, have you gone to his user page and tried his email link? [05:43:11] <lymeca> Lady_Aleena: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Ryan_lane I don't see an e-mail link? [05:43:19] <Lady_Aleena> There is a nice little link in the toolbox "Email this user" [05:43:33] <Lady_Aleena> "E-mail this user" to be exact. [05:43:59] <Lady_Aleena> It is right beneath the link to "Logs" [05:44:25] <lymeca> Lady_Aleena: Do I have to be logged in or something? [05:44:27] <lymeca> I don't see it. [05:44:33] <Splarka> heh yes [05:44:33] <Lady_Aleena> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Ryan_lane [05:44:44] <Splarka> and you have to have your email set and confirmed too, probably [05:45:09] <lymeca> Once logged in can you tell what the address is? [05:45:21] <lymeca> Or do is it hidden and you have to send through the wiki? [05:45:23] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, nope, but you can send the e-mail. [05:45:33] <lymeca> Honestly I'd rather use Thunderbird to communicate with him. [05:45:36] <lymeca> I see. [05:46:33] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, the first message should go through the wiki, then if he cares to respond, then he can directly to your e-mail address. [05:46:47] <lymeca> Okay, makes sense. [05:46:54] <Lady_Aleena> Then you can use your e-mail client all you wish. [05:47:13] *Lady_Aleena uses Outlook. [05:50:11] <Lady_Aleena> Okay, I am trying to build a template, but something has gone really really wrong. Any template gods here want to help me debug it? The template is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lady_Aleena/Test_banner and to see what is wrong look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lady_Aleena/Test_banner pretty please? [05:51:51] <Lady_Aleena> And Splarka, take note, someone said that I made sense. :) WooHoo! [05:55:29] <mkv-> Morning. [05:55:34] *Splarka alerts Ripley's for LA [05:55:54] <Lady_Aleena> Splarka, not good enough for Ripley's quite yet. [05:56:33] <lymeca> Outlook? Ewww... [05:57:01] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, do you know how much of a culture shock I went through when I first switched from IE to Firefox? [05:57:40] <lymeca> Lady_Aleena: Howdoes that have anything to do with culture shock? Did you suddenly become involved in the Free Software community with that transition? [05:58:02] *Lady_Aleena still can't find where she screwed up in that template, and this her upteenth look throught. [05:58:15] <lymeca> I mean there's an underlying cultural difference with respect to licensing ideologies, but most of it is just technological superiority. [05:58:32] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, IE and Firefox are so different that it took time for me to adjust. [05:58:56] <lymeca> Just pointing out that it's not much to do with culture. [05:59:08] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, I was using that metaphorically. [05:59:19] <lymeca> Also mayne people who used the web in the mid-90's experienced a switch from Netscape to IE. [05:59:50] <lymeca> But ultimately, a browser UI is a browser UI. I find them all to be very similarly usable. [06:00:28] <lymeca> Outlook and Thunderbird are somewhat more different from each other than IE and Firefox though. [06:00:34] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, do you know how much angst I went through when I first saw my web site rendered on Firefox? I was in shock. [06:00:39] <lymeca> Lurning curve is worth it for freedom. [06:00:48] <mkv-> lymeca: What about Evolution then? :) [06:01:14] <lymeca> Lady_Aleena: Do you know how much angst basically any web developer goes though trying to support older IE versions and their crippling of web standards? [06:01:31] <Splarka> my first email was in ~1996, it told me to get Netscape Navigator 2.0 and ditch Explorer [06:01:47] <lymeca> mkv-: Not sure, haven't used it much. [06:01:58] <Splarka> "don't fool with Explorer unless you hate life." [06:02:00] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, all I know is that when I saw my web site for the first time on Firefox, I cried for about half an hour wondering how in the world I was going to fix it. [06:02:07] <mkv-> lymeca: Okay. It's quite similar to Outlook. A bit buggy still but it works. [06:02:19] <lymeca> But yeah there are many options. Thunderbird, Evolution, KMail, (pine ;-) [06:02:23] <mkv-> lymeca: Quite good even with a SBS. [06:02:31] <mkv-> lymeca: pine *shrugs* ;) [06:02:32] <lymeca> A lot of upgrade paths from Outlook [06:02:36] <mkv-> Long time no see. [06:02:38] <lymeca> hehe [06:03:22] <lymeca> Lady_Aleena: I've a suggestion: Code your site to W3C standards and through a badge recommending your web users to download a standards-compliant browser such as Firefox. That's what I do on my sites. [06:03:25] <Lady_Aleena> I still wish that I could use Perl on my site to make it even smaller, but I have yet to find someone to help me do it. (Basically teach me as I go and maybe write some of it.) [06:03:33] <lymeca> *throw [06:03:44] <mkv-> Anyway, I should keep configuring my mediawiki.. Quite much to think about.. (and nothing to think with :)) [06:03:54] <lymeca> mkv-: Yeah I'm doing that too. [06:04:05] <lymeca> I'm installing/configuring extensions [06:04:11] <Lady_Aleena> lymeca, if you go to my user page on en, you can get to my website, and see that I have these two little images showing my site to be W3C compliant. [06:04:19] <mkv-> lymeca: Oh, I'm only in the beginning of the configuration.. *sigh* [06:04:43] <lymeca> mkv-: Heh, good luck. Be sure to make backups!! I had to start from scratch this past weekend =[ [06:04:59] <mkv-> lymeca: Ouch. [06:05:08] <Nikerabbit> ^demon: -m is bad [06:05:13] <mkv-> I'm going to write own extensions also. [06:05:50] <lymeca> Lady_Aleena: That's good, especially if they pass. I generally honestly don't care if IE breaks my site or not. I'm not going out of my way to break my site and support the application which is singularly responsible for holding back web standards adoption. [06:05:56] <lymeca> SVG what wwhhaatt? [06:05:59] <Lady_Aleena> Anyone know any good forums for getting help with Perl which doesn't hit newbies over the head with the Camel book? [06:06:02] <mkv-> lymeca: Aint there a admin-interface anywhere to be found? [06:06:08] <mkv-> Lady_Aleena: perl.org [06:06:11] <OverlordQ> perlmonks [06:06:29] <lymeca> mkv-: Admin interface for what? I've installed a few extensions which make sysop users much more powerful. [06:06:33] <Lady_Aleena> OverlordQ, Perlmonks hits me over the head with the Camel book which is too damned expensicve. [06:06:37] <Lady_Aleena> expensive. [06:06:57] <mkv-> lymeca: Ah, those would be great. Did you download the extensions from mediawiki or anywhere else? [06:07:15] <lymeca> Nope, just mediawiki [06:07:20] <lymeca> There's plenty to choose from =] [06:07:29] <lymeca> Unfortunately my FCKeditor has wretched performance. [06:07:31] <mkv-> lymeca: Great. :) Thanks. I'll look into it right away. [06:07:44] <Lady_Aleena> mkv-, do they have a forum there where one can say this is what I want to do and there are people who are willing to show me where I messed up for free? [06:07:48] <lymeca> OverlordQ: Do you have experience with either FCKeditor or OggHandler? [06:08:11] <mkv-> Lady_Aleena: Hmm, dont know about the forum. But there is lots of help there. [06:08:26] <mkv-> Lady_Aleena: Better if you find the problem yourself. :) [06:08:59] <Lady_Aleena> mkv-, I need a site which for Perl which is equivalent to the W3C site where EVERYTHING is spelled out nice and simple for newbies and experts alike. [06:10:21] <Lady_Aleena> I have yet to find a page anywhere that tells me how to write a complex random generator or build a table from a database, both to be output onto a web page. [06:10:46] <^demon> Nikerabbit: Huh? [06:11:10] <mkv-> Lady_Aleena: Okay. I do not know then sorry. [06:12:01] <Lady_Aleena> I tried on Perlmonks, I really did, but there was no one to hold my hand through the process of learning like on another forum where I got help and then some for writing my initial website. [06:12:08] <Nikerabbit> ^demon: tends to sneak unrelated files [06:12:08] <Splarka> http://www.cracked.com/article_16521_5-tiny-mistakes-that-lead-huge-catastrophes.html wonder when Wikimedia will make the list [06:17:01] <Werdna> Lady_Aleena: Generally speaking, you should teach yourself, not expect others to do it for you. [06:17:32] <Lady_Aleena> Werdna, I was trying, but there is not enough information on the internet, that I could find to learn Perl inside and out. [06:17:47] <mkv-> lymeca: What extensions do you recommend for sysop handling? [06:18:12] <lymeca> mkv-: It really depends on what you want, and I have by no means read every entry in the Extensions Matrix... [06:18:24] <lymeca> but... [06:19:48] <Werdna> Lady_Aleena: generally speaking, find a project, and motor along and learn as you go. [06:19:54] <Werdna> That's how I learned perl, anyway. [06:20:19] <mkv-> Werdna: Word. [06:20:28] <mkv-> Werdna: Learn by living. :) [06:20:36] <Lady_Aleena> Werdna, my first project, which has stalled, was building a vast random generator. [06:20:57] <lymeca> mkv-: So far I have User Merge and Delete, User Snoop, WhoIsWatchingTabbed, and LDAP Authentication Plugin for the backend user auth to give me more control over accounts. [06:22:22] <mkv-> lymeca: Ok. I do not use LDAP (yet anyway, maybe I should?). [06:22:41] <lymeca> mkv-: I mostly chose it because my LAN already had an LDAP server running. [06:22:57] <lymeca> But I do find it gives me much more flexibility, as long as you have write access to the LDAP server =P [06:23:14] <mkv-> lymeca: Okay. This is only one server running. So no LAN behind or anything. [06:23:24] <mkv-> lymeca: This is for official purposes. [06:23:32] <lymeca> oh, wel technically you can run the LDAP server on localhost [06:23:37] <mkv-> Hopefully ~10.000+ more registered users. [06:23:59] <lymeca> Humm, there's nothing saying that a wiki server on a LAN can't be official or have lots of users... [06:24:11] <mkv-> lymeca: Yes, I know. But I do not know if I win anything by creating a LDAP-db instead of using the builtin MySQL for user-information. [06:24:13] <lymeca> In fact I'd bet most wikis are on LANs. [06:24:46] <lymeca> mkv-: Right, I don't think I would've started an LDAP server just for the wiki. I have other services which use LDAP though so it's convenient in that respect.

I'm a beginner and want to switch language directly on the main page like the attached image. [09:41:29] <Theblase> http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Main_Page [09:41:47] <Theblase> I install the Extension:LanguageSelector, but this is not the same that used in the http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Main_Page, in the top right corner. [09:41:57] <Theblase> Can anyone help me? [09:44:00] <Jhs> Theblase, maybe [09:44:23] <Theblase> Many thanks! [09:44:58] <Theblase> I waiting for your instructions. [09:47:08] <Werdna> domas: if I have a pointer and a size_t of what it points to, how do I free the memory [09:47:19] <Werdna> checking 250,000 moves currently uses 70% of my memory :) [09:47:59] <Jhs> Theblase, the thing is that typo3 doesn't use an extension at all, they use a (slightly complicated) template [09:48:06] <VasilievVV> Werdna: free()? [09:48:56] <Werdna> that takes just a pointer [09:49:00] <domas> Werdna: thats usually enough [09:49:01] <Werdna> and has undefined behaviour for just a void* [09:49:12] <domas> Werdna: free() works on same pointer that was given by malloc() [09:49:21] <Theblase> Ok, I understand it. [09:49:23] <domas> if you're using objects, of course you do 'delete' [09:50:07] <Werdna> domas: in the object's destructor (does that get called when the object goes out of scope?), I want to free a void*, which points to either string, long int or double. I have a size_t member so that I know how big it is. [09:50:09] <Theblase> Have you got any idea for this language switsching? [09:50:28] <VasilievVV> Werdna: how have you allocated it? [09:50:29] <domas> how did you get that void* ? [09:50:43] <domas> and no, object destructors are probably not called :) [09:50:48] <domas> unless you use some GC [09:51:18] <Werdna> domas: I have a class which can store ints, strings or floats. [09:51:26] <Werdna> so I have a void* pointer to the data, a type member and a size member [09:51:37] <Theblase> What is the necessary extension to language switching? [09:52:55] <domas> Werdna: well, delete it then [09:52:58] <domas> once you're done :) [09:53:30] <Werdna> do I need to cast to the appropriate pointer type before I do that?

[11:35:05] <mkv-> Question: I am trying to write a small tag-extension of my own, I have read the tag-extension manual and I cannot find anything wrong in my "script". But it still doesnt work... Any suggestions? Anywone care to look at it? [11:37:26] <mkv-> Instead of returning the values I want it just prints the "tag" that I want it to "hook"... [11:39:08] <mkv-> Whoups, now I found a typo. [11:40:56] <Dantman> mkv-: The developers help pages on MW.org are pretty bad... I suggest taking a look at how some of the more common extensions like ParserFunctions do it [11:41:31] <MaxSem> or in this particular case, CentralAuth [11:41:40] <mkv-> Ok, thanks. [11:42:01] <ThomasOwens> hmm. at one point, someone linked me to documentation specifically related to login extensions and the different variables and such, but I'm not finding that. [11:42:18] <ThomasOwens> MaxSem: if that was to me, CentralAuth is nothing like what I want to do. [11:43:13] <MaxSem> ThomasOwens, it's an example of auth extension [11:43:49] <ThomasOwens> but it's not even close to what I want to do. for one thing, authenticating across wikis is easier because they all use the same username/password system.

[12:26:15] <Jhs> okay, i see [12:26:36] <Jhs> adinc, url? [12:26:44] <adinc> Jhs: yes the url changed aswell [12:26:56] <adinc> it was before a subdirectory and now i did a subdomain for it [12:27:01] <Jhs> .... [12:27:06] <adinc> ahhh, it is wiki.dinc.org [12:27:09] <Jhs> :D [12:27:14] <adinc> ;-) [12:28:06] <Jhs> i assume you have to change the directory path in the config somewhere [12:28:38] <adinc> jhs yes, thats what i thought aswell, but the LocalSettings file doesnt have any directory parameter [12:29:03] <Jhs> hmm... [12:29:29] <^demon> adinc: Check your local settings and make sure $wgScriptPath is set correctly. In your case, it looks like it needs to be set to / [12:29:47] <Duesentrieb> which is evil [12:29:55] <Duesentrieb> don't install mediawiki files into the document root [12:29:58] <Duesentrieb> that spells trouble [12:29:58] <adinc> ^demon: ohhh yes, sure [12:30:01] <adinc> thank you [12:30:53] <CIA-55> 03aaron * r38233 10/trunk/extensions/FlaggedRevs/ (5 files): Refactor some code to look better [12:30:57] <adinc> ^demon: ohh, i just see that it didnt help [12:32:08] <Werdna> that's annoying [12:32:17] <Werdna> every '|' seems to evaluate to true [12:34:31] <ThomasOwens> Where does MediaWiki normalize the user name provided on Special:Userlogin? My custom auth is almost done, but I think it's rejecting "user names" because we use email addresses for login purposes. [12:34:44] <Werdna> it's not normalisation [12:34:50] <vinodhrajan> Hi. I Enabled Sub pages in the Main Namespace. However Subpages appear in some pages and do not appear in other pages.. [12:34:58] <Werdna> but you are quite correct that mediawiki doesn't like '@' in usernames [12:35:15] <ThomasOwens> See, all data is in an existing user database. [12:35:21] <ThomasOwens> So what are my options? [12:35:55] <ThomasOwens> Even if it involves hacking the code behind Special:Userlogin, as I'm looking at that now. [12:36:40] <vinodhrajan> see: http://www.tamilbuddhism.com/wiki/%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%B1%E0%AF%8D_%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D/demo & http://www.tamilbuddhism.com/wiki/%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%8C%E0%AE%A4%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D_%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%AE%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B4%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D/%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%A9%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A9%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%88 [12:37:06] <vinodhrajan> Subpages appears in the First one but doesn't appear in the seconde one :( [12:37:20] <Werdna> ThomasOwens: well, it could be done, but it interferes with some stuff [12:37:31] <Werdna> we used to allow '@' [12:37:31] <ThomasOwens> could you elaborate? [12:37:56] <Werdna> but, for instance, changing user rights cross-wiki requires @-free usernames [12:38:02] <cirwin> there are users on wiktionary with an @ [12:38:13] <ThomasOwens> ok, well we only have 1 wiki, so that's not a problem. [12:38:13] <Werdna> yes, legacy [12:38:19] <Werdna> we don't allow new registrations with '@' [12:38:34] <cirwin> bad coding if you use a legal char as a seperator ;p [12:39:10] <ThomasOwens> So what do I need to do to allow @ in user names? Because that's the only thing stopping me from using our current database.. [12:39:15] <Werdna> ThomasOwens: see static function isUsableName( $name ) { [12:39:19] <Werdna> in User.php [12:39:23] <Werdna> oh wait [12:39:25] <Werdna> the one below it [12:39:28] <Werdna> static function isCreatableName( $name ) { [12:39:33] <ThomasOwens> ok. thanks. [12:39:40] <Werdna> your own risk :P [12:40:31] <ThomasOwens> I know. [12:40:43] <Jhs> ThomasOwens, my suggestion is that you replace the @ with (a) or something in your database, and write a note on special:userlogin that users with @ in their names have to use (a) instead [12:41:18] <^demon> adinc: Not sure :( [12:41:24] <Jhs> only noobs want @s in their names anyways [12:41:34] <adinc> ^demon: ;-) [12:43:38] <adinc> i've set up login for my wiki, and when i call the mail page an erro page appears. can i get a loginpage to appear directly?

[14:17:46] <Xiong> the primary burden of clear communication rests on the sender [14:18:09] <Jhs> ^demon, hehe [14:18:12] <Nikerabbit> people tend to choose the shortest expression that can still be understood without big problems [14:18:15] <^demon> Jhs: Bug 14800. [14:18:24] <Xiong> if you mean to communicate a fact, say, "apple computer's second quarter was profitable" [14:19:12] <Xiong> then it is not necessary to lard this with an overtone that suggests the sender is somehow more sophisticated because he says, by a strict application of rules, he can disambiguate with case [14:19:33] <Xiong> we live in a world where some people still cannot read at all [14:19:51] <Xiong> and where almost everyone is taught that there are 26 letters in the alphabet, not 52 [14:19:54] <Nikerabbit> yeah, and now we can end this discussion [14:20:04] <Jhs> ^demon, ah yes. i saw that one earlier [14:20:05] <Xiong> because you're right? [14:20:22] <Nikerabbit> Xiong: no, because it doesn't lead to anything [14:20:28] <Xiong> disagree [14:20:38] <Xiong> it leads directly to implementation of case insensitivity [14:20:48] <Xiong> which i have wanted for a very long time [14:21:04] <Nikerabbit> Xiong: and note that most languages do not even have alphabet with big and small letters... let alone letters [14:21:22] <Xiong> i'm only concerned with english [14:21:24] <Jhs> ^demon, i might actually have fixed that one unknowingly, with r38207 [14:21:36] <Xiong> case sensitivity in MW is an unnecessary complication [14:21:39] <Jhs> but i don't know if the log uses group-* or group-*-member [14:21:50] <Xiong> it leads to thousands of time-consuming redirects, on WP [14:22:16] <Nikerabbit> Xiong: now you are changing topics [14:22:21] <^demon> Jhs: Go for it ;-) [14:22:30] <Xiong> and on other installs, requires careful attention to case when linking, *if* one chooses to follow correct style by capitalizing the "counter" words of titles [14:22:45] <Xiong> now i'm confused [14:22:52] <Xiong> i thought i was discussing case sensitivity [14:23:06] <Xiong> my thesis is, it is a Bad Thing [14:23:16] <Xiong> i don't say that case itself is wrong [14:23:19] *^demon totters off to fix a case-sensitivity bug [14:23:19] <Nikerabbit> if you want case insensitive titles, go file a bug (if there isn't one) or provide a patch [14:23:25] <Xiong> i believe in case preservation [14:23:30] <Nikerabbit> it only affects 10% languages or so anyway [14:23:36] <Xiong> i'm told the demand has been made before [14:23:40] <domas> case insensitive titles are easy [14:23:44] <^demon> Nikerabbit: I think there is one....probably more than one. [14:23:47] <domas> just use case insensitive collation [14:23:48] <domas> :) [14:23:57] <Xiong> i've even been told that case sensitivity is scattered through the code, requiring much work to eradicate [14:23:58] <^demon> hi domas :-) [14:24:04] <domas> HI CHAD [14:24:19] <domas> Xiong: not really, if database is case insensitive, there's not much done at mediawiki layer [14:24:20] <Xiong> well domas, you are the first person to suggest an easy fix [14:24:23] <^demon> Xiong: Case sensitivity of first character is controlled through $wgCapitalLinks. [14:24:29] <Xiong> would you like to go into a bit more detail? [14:24:36] <Xiong> demon, i'm aware of that switch [14:24:50] <domas> Xiong: ALTER TABLE ... CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET ... COLLATE ... [14:24:53] <Xiong> it only makes things more case sensitive, though, not less [14:25:01] <domas> Xiong: for most of tables. change varbinary fields into varchar, probably :) [14:25:05] <Xiong> domas, i don't follow you [14:25:11] <domas> Xiong: thats your problem then! :) [14:25:20] <Xiong> no need to be abrupt, sir [14:25:32] <Xiong> you seem to have a solution and i dearly would like to be able to apply it [14:25:36] <Xiong> consider me ignorant [14:26:26] <Xiong> do you have a method for making links completely case insensitive, while preserving case? [14:27:15] <Xiong> if so, and if the procedure is involved, as it appears, i'd like to ask you very nicely to write it up and post it on MW somewhere [14:27:24] <Xiong> i will give you a cookie for it :) [14:32:24] <sentinel100101> hah [14:32:25] <sentinel100101> haha [14:32:36] <sentinel100101> thats was kinda funny ^_^ [14:32:46] <sentinel100101> no offence [14:32:47] <sentinel100101> peace [14:32:49] <Dantman> ^_^ Pay me a wage and I'll get on the titlerewite [14:33:12] <Xiong> if i had money, i would [14:33:16] <Dantman> heh [14:33:41] <Xiong> i may feel more strongly about other issues but this one at least is fixable [14:33:51] <Xiong> no cure for cancer, no hope for world peace [14:35:31] <^demon> Dantman: We could trade features. You do Title rewrite and I'll do blocking rewrite :-P [14:36:00] <Dantman> heh... Title rewrite was mine... [14:36:14] <Dantman> But I need money if I'm going to work on something nowadays [14:36:21] <^demon> domas: Mind looking at a patch on bug 14418? It's a schema change I'm looking to do. [14:36:38] <domas> :( [14:36:49] <Dantman> I can't afford to work on something anymore unless it either gives me money, or something to put in a portfolio... [14:37:01] <^demon> Minor change <3 [14:37:13] <Dantman> And nothing MW related fits in a usable portfolio for me [14:37:55] <domas> Dantman: neither in mine! [14:37:56] <domas> :( [14:38:24] <domas> ^demon: I strangle you for char() alone [14:38:31] <Xiong> dantman that is what i tell my clients [14:38:40] <domas> ^demon: should I continue reading? [14:38:56] <Xiong> i told that to one guy and he promptly hired a manager who is now trying to kill my project entirely [14:39:05] <^demon> Yes, I justified my use of char(32), for it is also used in the interwiki table for the iw_prefix column. [14:39:20] <domas> ^demon: why not varchar() ? [14:39:41] <Xiong> that'll teach me to ask for resources [14:39:47] <^demon> domas: No particular reason, just stole the column format from the interwiki table. [14:39:59] <domas> ^demon: then fix it in interwiki table too ;-) [14:40:11] <domas> actually we don't use interwiki table on live site [14:40:59] <domas> but by putting that stuff into redirects table [14:41:05] <domas> you really deserve some punishment [14:41:23] <Schroeder> I wonder what propaganda Kremlin tool RIA Novosti is putting out today... [14:41:25] <^demon> uh oh :( [14:41:31] <Simetrical> domas, doesn't MySQL secretly convert long char to varchar anyway? [14:41:39] <domas> Simetrical: no [14:42:06] <domas> ^demon: another problem, you realize that without proper indexing that addition won't be usable in any way ? :) [14:42:28] <^demon> I really suck at SQL, that much is becoming more obvious :-P [14:42:53] <domas> thats the usual problem with mediawiki development [14:43:06] <domas> people add columns without thinking what they will be used for [14:43:25] <domas> your patch just fills the data [14:43:28] <domas> so it is entirely useless [14:43:31] <domas> as it doesn't use it [14:43:34] <domas> :) [14:43:58] <Simetrical> domas, it doesn't need to be indexed, unless you want a list of all redirects pointing to a specific wiki. [14:44:14] <domas> Simetrical: why does that field matter, then? [14:44:27] <^demon> Simetrical: Which would be cool. As would being able to remove interwiki redirects from the "Broken Redirects" page. [14:44:42] <Simetrical> The point would be so that you could filter out interwiki redirects from lists for some special pages, for instance. You *could* make the index bigger for that, of course. [14:44:45] <Simetrical> Or add another index. [14:45:08] <Simetrical> But since almost all redirects are intrawiki it might be fastest to not have to maintain the index, yes? [14:45:25] <domas> in theory you can prepend the key with interwiki, blank being 'not interwiki' [14:45:29] <domas> but it would be a hack [14:45:32] <domas> and would suck anyway :) [14:45:49] <domas> in the end, we don't really know what we're doing with that data anyway [14:45:52] <domas> so why store it there? [14:45:53] <^demon> domas: It currently saves the title with the iw prefix attached. [14:46:38] <Dantman> eek... [14:46:42] <domas> I really have troubles thinking about something [14:46:48] <domas> where you don't yourself know what you're doing [14:46:51] <domas> why should I know what you're doing? [14:46:58] <Simetrical> domas, by the way, I think we need ug_sortkey pretty soon. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=rollbacker&limit=50 [14:47:36] <domas> gh [14:47:45] <Nikerabbit> domas: are you offended if someone says that Lithuanian is a tiny language? [14:48:22] <domas> Nikerabbit: offended? no. do I think the one who says that is clueless? yes :) [14:48:25] <^demon> domas: It has potential for uses, such as specialpage filtering, etc by IW prefix.

[14:48:46] <Nikerabbit> domas: hehe, I wouldn't consider it or Welsh very tiny either [14:48:54] <domas> ^demon: I don't care about features that have potential for uses ;-) [14:48:56] <Simetrical> domas, no, just to anyone who asks and isn't obviously a vandal. :P [14:48:57] <Jhs> domas, yes, we are; at least global groups [14:49:14] <Jhs> n/m [14:50:25] <^demon> domas: Fair enough. :-P Wontfix? Clean it up a bunch and find a really good reason to use it then bug you again? [14:50:58] <domas> ^demon: the only thing I care there about is CHAR() [14:51:05] <domas> ^demon: it is wrong wrong wrong [14:51:10] <^demon> Easily fixed. [14:51:20] <^demon> I'll play with that later. [14:51:32] <domas> anyone who writes updaters removing all CHAR()s and TINYBLOBs from mediawiki codebase [14:51:36] <domas> and replacing them with VARCHARs [14:51:38] <domas> will get a cookie [14:51:42] <domas> I'm doing that on live site anyway [14:52:00] <Simetrical> What if something is actually fixed-length? [14:52:04] <Simetrical> Like img_sha1? [14:52:55] <domas> would work then [14:53:08] <domas> sucks though when we don't use NULLs for empty values [14:53:21] <Simetrical> There are no empty values in img_sha1, in theory. [14:53:29] <domas> if you have populated properly [14:53:39] <Dantman> eh? I thought we were trying to move away from text types and into binary types [14:53:59] <Simetrical> Dantman, char = binary in MySQL 4, which is all Domas cares about. [14:54:08] <Simetrical> No character collations until 4.1 or whatever. [14:54:24] <domas> Dantman: not an issue, 'CREATE DATABASE .. CHARACTER SET = binary' [14:54:29] <domas> and all your varchars become varbinary [14:54:35] <domas> the problem is with CHAR() though [14:54:37] <Simetrical> The point is var vs. non-var, and char/binary vs. tinytext/tinyblob. [14:54:42] <domas> because then it becomes BINARY() with zero-byte padding [14:54:53] <domas> and PHP hates zero-byte padding [14:55:17] <wikibugs> 03(NEW) Moving a page does not trigger autoflagging - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14984 normal; normal; MediaWiki extensions: FlaggedRevs; (pbirken) [14:55:44] <Dantman> I recall the manual saying something about VARCHAR BINARY not being treated the same as something that's actually binary [14:56:30] <domas> there's a difference between 'varchar binary' and 'varchar character set binary' [14:56:37] <domas> 'varchar binary' just picks binary collation [14:56:51] <domas> 'character set binary' makes it varbinary [14:56:59] <domas> a mess, but so it goes :) [15:09:50] <Xiong> BASEPAGENAME does not work as advertised [15:10:28] <Xiong> it seems that {{BASEPAGENAME}} on the page Foo:Bar/2 resolves to Bar/2, not Bar [15:10:46] <Duesentrieb> Xiong: got subpages enabled in that NS? [15:10:59] <Xiong> yabba yabba uh [15:11:03] <Xiong> blort [15:11:07] <Duesentrieb> :P [15:11:07] <Xiong> dunno [15:11:36] <Duesentrieb> well, if youdo, there would be a link to Foo:Bar on top of Foo:Bar/2 [15:11:39] <Xiong> probably not, it's an extra [15:11:51] <Duesentrieb> indeed [15:12:12] <Xiong> i need to go an enable subpages on all the namespaces [15:12:25] <Xiong> i can't think of a reason *not* to have subpages [15:12:38] <Duesentrieb> $wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array_fill(0, 200, true); [15:12:53] <Duesentrieb> a good reason is having valid literal names that contain a / [15:13:02] <Duesentrieb> which may be the case especially in the main namespace [15:13:13] <Xiong> ah, that's much better than what i feared, with a giant list of individual things [15:13:19] <Xiong> in my case, never [15:13:23] <Xiong> no fear there [15:13:30] <Duesentrieb> go ahead then [15:13:35] <Xiong> i abhor special characters in titles [15:13:47] <Duesentrieb> "special" is relative [15:13:59] <Duesentrieb> and the Wikipedia article about OS/2 should have *that* title [15:14:17] <Xiong> well, there ya go [15:14:18] <Duesentrieb> some for C++ [15:14:21] <Xiong> i don't like anybody [15:14:22] <Duesentrieb> or A* search [15:14:43] <Xiong> this drive to name things with special characters [15:15:19] <Xiong> i grew up believing identifiers should be limited strictly to A-Z, 0-9, and by the grace of the ghost that used to be a bug in the machine, the underbar [15:15:20] <Duesentrieb> well, the idea is to name things "naturally" and not restrict your self due to some artificial technicality [15:15:46] <cfedde> I'm having trouble with xcache and mediawiki I get the error: "xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching" The normal google-search-for-error-text technique is not leading me to a solution. Does anyone know where I can find a clue about fixing this? [15:15:52] <Duesentrieb> yes... well, for internal identifiers, i agreee with that, though java allows you to use sanscrit identifiers :) [15:15:54] <Xiong> you're thinking of just the wiki -- i'm on a jihad against the world [15:15:56] <Duesentrieb> but wiki pages... [15:16:01] <Xiong> starting with wal*mart [15:16:23] <Xiong> and the artist formerly known as prince [15:16:33] <Duesentrieb> cfedde: perhaps look into the xchache documentation for info on setting var_size ? [15:16:35] <Xiong> does he have his own private unicode point now? [15:16:56] <Duesentrieb> Xiong: possible :) [15:17:12] <Xiong> i'm going to edit the MW docs to include your shotgun solution; i like it [15:17:28] <Duesentrieb> Xiong: ??u?????? 's?????? ??noq?? ??o?? [15:17:55] <ZorroIII> funny [15:19:01] <Duesentrieb> istole that solution somewhre [15:20:34] <Xiong> how can i point out that '200' suggests 200 ns without being snarky? [15:20:57] <Xiong> "of course, if you have more than 200 ns, you may need to increase that limit" [15:21:11] <cfedde> I suppose that I could have mentioned that I've also been looking in the doc. Thanks for the reminder though. [15:22:16] <cfedde> apparently php and I have a disagreement on where the xcache.ini file is. [15:22:26] <Duesentrieb> cfedde: so you tried chaning it in the [xcache] section in sour php ini by setting something like xcache.var_size = 8M ? [15:22:30] <Xiong> guess who is going to win that argument? [15:22:55] <Duesentrieb> cfedde: well, from what google tells me, it uses php.ini. but that may be wrong or depend on the install. i never used it. [15:23:34] <Nikerabbit> 200 nanoseconds? [15:23:42] <Duesentrieb> .oO(best way to find out wether a config file is actually used: break the syntax) [15:24:09] <cfedde> Duesentrieb: that's what I thought too. this ubuntu has an "interesting directory structure" including directories and such. maybe it's more an ubuntu question. [15:24:10] <Nikerabbit> who was just talking about "say what you mean" and don't let the reader guess... [15:24:13] <cfedde> But thanks for the hints [15:25:06] <Duesentrieb> cfedde: on my ubuntu, its at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini iirc [15:25:11] <Duesentrieb> no funny directories [15:25:29] <Nikerabbit> Duesentrieb: fcgi <3 [15:25:45] <Xiong> am i correct in thinking that if i enable subpages, having already created a /foo page, that some godawful thing will happen akin to creating a new namespace over existing pages? [15:26:10] <Duesentrieb> Xiong: no, it'll just work [15:26:22] <Duesentrieb> Xiong: just purge caches. which happens automatically wheny ou edit the config [15:26:23] <Xiong> that, i don't understand [15:26:26] <cfedde> ls /etc/php5/ -> apache2/ cli/ conf.d/ [15:26:40] <Duesentrieb> Xiong: the reason is that namespaces are stored in a se??parate database field, while subpages are not. [15:27:00] <Duesentrieb> Xiong: namespaces are actually represented in the database, subpages are jjust a hack with special parsing of page names [15:27:06] <Xiong> well it's a Good Thing anyway [15:27:26] <Duesentrieb> well, it's convenient. if it's Good is another question. [15:27:37] <Duesentrieb> it makes it rather expensive to find all subpages of a given page, for one thing [15:27:50] <Xiong> i do get the backlink to the base page now, when reloading the (empty) subpage [15:28:05] <Xiong> so the gimmick works, thank you much [15:28:35] <Xiong> i'd noticed the enable subpage stuff before but back burnered it, unwilling to write out for all my extras [15:28:39] <Xiong> since i have several [15:29:02] <Xiong> i guess i figured i'd ignore the issue until it bit me on the butt [15:29:05] <Xiong> which it did [15:43:37] <Xiong> okay, i have beaten this punk to a pulp [15:43:39] <Xiong> http://www.beyondeuclid.com/wiki/Circumscribed_Trapezoid [15:43:52] <DanielTahar> hi [15:43:54] <Xiong> i really would appreciate someone telling me if i'm going all wrong [15:44:07] <Xiong> before i continue to go all wrong [15:44:16] <Xiong> hi DT welcome to MW [15:44:18] <DanielTahar> quick question: is there a parameter that translates into the page name? i.e. "you are currently vieweing the "<<PAGENAME>>" page" [15:44:25] <Xiong> yes [15:44:31] <Xiong> {{PAGENAME}} [15:44:42] <DanielTahar> really? well i was very close i see [15:44:48] <DanielTahar> that was a wild guess on my part [15:44:50] <Xiong> maybe maybe not [15:45:03] <Xiong> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help%3AMagic_words#Page_names_and_related_info [15:45:13] <Xiong> there's more than one choice [15:45:48] <Xiong> note that for all the good stuff, you need to upgrade your install, if it's old [15:49:55] <Xiong> maybe you, DT, would be kind enough to check out my thing and tell me if i've done anything that looks likely to catch fire and burn out of control: [15:50:03] <Xiong> http://www.beyondeuclid.com/wiki/Circumscribed_Trapezoid [16:01:35] <CIA-55> 03demon * r38240 10/trunk/extensions/StalkerLog/ (.

Despite the name, it's targeted at corporate wikis for office productivity monitoring, etc. [16:02:03] <proletaire> Hi everybody [16:02:45] <CIA-55> 03demon * r38241 10/trunk/extensions/StalkerLog/README: svn:eol-style. [16:03:40] <proletaire> Can someone help me to install the FlaggedRevs extension to my mediawiki? [16:04:17] <proletaire> I'm a huge newbie [16:04:51] <yannf> can someone tell me which doc is ok: http://www.visolve.com/squid/whitepapers/reverseproxy.php or http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy [16:05:12] <yannf> with the 2nd, squid doesn't even start [16:06:24] <cirwin> proletaire: do you know how to use svn? [16:06:29] <proletaire> Really? No good Samaritan? [16:06:36] <proletaire> sry [16:06:42] <guyvdb> Is it more efficient to iterate through part of an array with next() than with a for loop? [16:06:43] <proletaire> no i don't [16:06:48] <cirwin> ok [16:06:58] <cirwin> do you have access to your servers command line? [16:07:27] <Nikerabbit> guyvdb: why would it be? [16:07:30] <proletaire> heum... I tryed connecting with Putty, doesnt work in SSH, only in FTP [16:07:35] <cirwin> ok [16:07:42] <proletaire> does that answer the question? [16:07:45] <cirwin> in that case you need to download all the files from mediawiki [16:07:49] <cirwin> yes, it does [16:08:02] <proletaire> I did download the extension [16:08:07] <cirwin> ok [16:08:11] <proletaire> and uploaded it [16:08:12] <cirwin> then you need to upload it [16:08:14] <cirwin> good :) [16:08:16] <proletaire> of course [16:08:18] <MinuteElectron> guyvdb: You could do a benchmark if you're microoptimising. ;) [16:08:22] <cirwin> so you don't need too much help then :p [16:08:26] <cirwin> where did you put it? [16:08:32] <proletaire> It gives me a PHP error [16:08:38] <cirwin> ok [16:08:41] <cirwin> which php error? [16:08:42] <proletaire> wait [16:09:14] <guyvdb> Nikerabbit: because there might be a table lookup less? [16:09:30] <Nikerabbit> guyvdb: table lookup? [16:10:08] <Nikerabbit> last time I checked next() is a function... [16:10:20] <proletaire> Fatal error: Call to undefined method OutputPage::appendSubtitle() [16:10:32] <proletaire> I have version 1.12 of mediawiki [16:10:44] <proletaire> maybe its the version? [16:10:46] <cirwin> yes [16:10:57] <cirwin> FlaggedRevs needs 1.13 (r37158+) [16:11:02] <proletaire> oh............ [16:11:03] <proletaire> ok [16:11:04] <cirwin> it says so on the extension page [16:11:13] <proletaire> heu [16:11:21] <proletaire> how do I update? [16:11:27] <cirwin> with svn :) [16:11:42] <proletaire> Ok... well lets talk more about SVN then [16:12:00] <proletaire> what is it and how does it work? [16:12:23] <cirwin> it is just a way download lots of files and keep them up to date with minimal effotr [16:12:29] <cirwin> if you can't use ssh onto the server [16:12:35] <cirwin> then you have to use svn on your local computer [16:12:48] <cirwin> for which you need to download and install TortoiseSVN [16:12:59] <cirwin> then once you have downloaded the files, use ftp to upload them all [16:13:03] <cirwin> but it will take you a while [16:13:30] <proletaire> Why? I can't be no more than 20Mo... [16:13:53] <proletaire> And why can't I just download the update and reupload it on my server? [16:14:02] <cirwin> you can [16:14:09] <cirwin> if there is a download for a high enough revision [16:14:18] <^demon> Cirwin: 1.13 rc1? [16:14:53] <cirwin> dunno, what revision is that? [16:15:02] <cirwin> > 37158? [16:15:09] <^demon> Um, should be. [16:15:11] <cirwin> ok [16:15:14] <cirwin> do that then [16:15:18] <proletaire> You have a link? [16:15:48] <^demon> Yeah, 1.13 was branched at 37957. [16:16:37] <^demon> http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.13/mediawiki-1.13.0rc1.tar.gz [16:17:45] <proletaire> Ok, but I guess, since I don't use that SVN thing, that I will have to replace to whole mediawiki on my server and install this new version [16:17:47] <proletaire> ? [16:17:55] <proletaire> Thank you btw [16:18:05] <cirwin> you will have to overwrite all the files [16:18:09] <cirwin> not sure about the database [16:18:14] <barcalex> hi, i need your help. i have updated my wiki to the newest version. but now when i want to edit/write an article the editor bar has gone. can someone help ? [16:18:24] <Xiong> 1.13 is now the official, not the bleeding edge? [16:18:35] <proletaire> Hmmm... not really intelligent for futures updates... [16:18:35] <^demon> If you can't run update.php from the command line, try doing a fresh install (AFTER BACKING UP YOUR LOCALSETTINGS FILE!) [16:18:53] <^demon> Xiong: 1.13 has been branched and is in RC status. 1.14alpha is trunk. [16:19:14] <Xiong> don't parse RC [16:19:20] <^demon> Release candidate [16:19:25] <Xiong> ah [16:19:27] <^demon> Anyway, I'm off. [16:19:31] <Xiong> then i will stay away [16:19:55] <proletaire> Do you have an easy tutorial-page for SVN? [16:20:47] <Xiong> may god bless and keep the czar -- far from here [16:25:55] <fundamental> Is there any reason why a link to a project within a wiki would remain a red link after the page has been created, edited, and even subpages created? [16:31:54] <fundamental> If anyone has an idea why it might be having the problem the red link can be seen here: http://slax.scribblewiki.com/Featured_Module [16:33:13] <Nikerabbit> fundamental: look at the link target!! [16:34:10] <fundamental> The target was [[Project:Approval]] which directs the user to the right page, but in edit mode. [16:34:39] <Nikerabbit> fundamental: how about setting more reasonable namespace with $wgMetanamespace? [16:34:58] <Nikerabbit> can't test very much, your styles make my firefox go crasy [16:35:53] <fundamental> I am not the wiki's admin and don't even have sysop rights, but I also thought the name of the wiki might be the source of the problem. [16:36:48] <Nikerabbit> I guess periods in namespaces are the cause [16:38:36] <fundamental> Well, if there is no other solution I will try to contact the admin/sysop for the wiki to change the namespace variable if it is posible (it is hosted by a wikifarm).

Is there a way to get a similar dump of all the pages from a mediawiki installation that is that old? [17:23:59] <Simetrical> cfedde, upgrade it and take the dump. :) [17:24:11] <Simetrical> You could copy the database somewhere else, upgrade the temporary installation, and dump from there if you like. [17:24:26] <Simetrical> In case you want to keep using 1.4rc1 for some reason . . . [17:24:44] <cfedde> Simetrical: apparently that's going to be a multi-step process since there are several schema changes since then. [17:24:53] <cfedde> But maybe that's the best approach... [17:26:04] <Simetrical> cfedde, just run update.php. It will apply all the schema changes in order. [17:26:24] <Simetrical> Every new release tests to make sure that upgrading from 1.2 or so still works and gives the right DB structure. [17:27:39] <cfedde> hum. Ok. I must have made some other mistake when I tried the upgrade on my test server. [17:28:08] <cfedde> I'll go back and try again. [17:28:27] <^demon> Nikerabbit: I swear you stalk my commits.

[17:31:18] <^demon> Can't ping it. [17:31:27] <^demon> Back now. [17:31:28] <^demon> That was odd.

[17:41:39] <Nikerabbit> can someone tell me what is going on. mediawiki says incorrect password for one user, even after resetting the password, and doesn't send email even when i set it too directly to the database [17:43:16] <Nikerabbit> ah [17:43:22] <Nikerabbit> the user was cached by apc [17:43:41] <Nikerabbit> and changePassword.php doesn't purge the cache!

[22:16:57] <blobaugh> Duesentrieb: although it would be a good tool to have and post on my website for others.... [22:16:59] <Simetrical> brion, so those last two failing tests are wrong, I think.

[22:17:10] <brion> bleh :) [22:17:12] <Klemo> thanks again [22:17:15] <Simetrical> brion, there are also at least two failing tests where the *desired output* is invalid XML.

I am relatively new to MediaWiki... [23:35:51] <^demon> brion: Oh btw, I commented on the IPv6 bug. I was playing with the installer earlier and the IPv6 check in defaultsettings caused a regression there, as the IP class obviously isn't loaded during install :-P [23:36:00] <ryno1> maybe a way to bypass the loadbalancer all together [23:36:02] <wikibugs> 03(mod) Page URLs are messed up when using accented letters (non-ascii) mixed with escaped characters. - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11097 (10brion) [23:36:17] <brion> ryno1: check your configuration, check the db, check the manual changes you made to the system [23:36:34] <ryno1> Thx brion [23:36:49] <brion> ^demon: well, the installer shouldn't be running on our site o_O :) so there must be something else somewhere.....
