[02:58:50] woops [02:59:21] Thar we go [02:59:46] MattJ: since I don't fully know how to do that, I'd recommend looking at another extension to see how they did it... unless someone else has any input [02:59:51] amidaniel: wtf? [02:59:58] qsheets: ? [03:00:39] he joined, you said "woops", then he parted and rejoined [03:01:02] qsheets, amidaniel runs mwbot. [03:01:05] Yes :) [03:01:09] i know [03:01:20] qsheets: Seems like a good plan :) [03:01:24] kk [03:01:24] amidaniel, are you going to get around to making it startable via shell script and putting it in cron yet? [03:01:26] qsheets: I made a boo-boo and had to restart it :) [03:01:32] i c [03:01:32] Simetrical: It is in cron >:() [03:01:40] So why did it die for hours? [03:01:42] This is the first time I've had to manually start it in about a year [03:01:43] lol [03:01:57] Really? I could swear I remember times a lot more recently. [03:02:03] Nope [03:02:08] I thought I remembered you saying that you had to start it manually because it wasn't a simple shell script. [03:02:13] *amidaniel has been on wikivication for months :) [03:02:13] *Simetrical checks logs [03:02:21] Yes, that was a long, long time ago :) [03:02:26] That issue has since been resolved [03:02:36] @reboot /home/amidaniel/MWBot/init.sh [03:04:43] *Simetrical gets millions of netsplits in his log, sigh [03:05:17] How often does the cron job run? [03:05:39] Well, the cronjob just runs on reboots. There's a built in mechanism to reconnect after e.g. netsplits [03:05:53] In this case it looks like the job was explicitly killed .. not sure why or who did it though [03:06:02] Unless it hit an error of some kind .. dunno [03:06:05] 070921 20:30:40 * mwbot has quit (Remote closed the connection) [03:06:05] 070925 22:28:45 * mwbot (i=amidanie@hemlock.ts.wikimedia.org) has joined #mediawiki [03:06:10] Oh, wait, it only runs on reboot? [03:06:14] Yessir [03:06:18] Why not every ten minutes or something? [03:06:36] Anyway, that case was only 11 months ago, and that wasn't an automated restart, right? :) [03:06:36] Because "There's a built in mechanism to reconnect after e.g. netsplits" [03:06:52] Maybe it started using too much resources or something. [03:06:58] Could be [03:07:32] Doesn't look like anyone @die'd it, and I ain't logging much of anything so it's gonna be rather difficult to diagnose why it died [03:07:54] But since this is the first time I remember restarting it since around January of this year, I ain't concerned :) [03:08:05] Oh, hmm, it's written in Java? [03:08:06] *Simetrical pokes around [03:08:15] Yessir, knock yourself out [03:08:21] If you'd like svn access you can have it [03:08:36] Ah, source code is in your SVN. [03:08:39] *Simetrical was looking for that [03:08:43] Haha, yes [03:08:52] *Simetrical uses git for his personal projects these days [03:09:39] Yeah, I do too :) [03:09:52] Ugg .. my ssl's all fucked up on ad.com ... what the hell? [03:12:07] *Simetrical wonders what happens if he tries running ~amidaniel/MWBot/init.sh [03:12:27] Wtf is going on with my server? o.o [03:12:47] Any idea what this is? mailman 4069 28.2 0.0 3568 1364 ?

[03:14:19] (And sendmail works fine.) [03:14:44] Yes, I am running mailman :) But it shouldn't eat up _all_ my resources [03:15:10] Why not? How selfish of you. :( [03:15:41] Maybe spambots are flooding your mailing lists?

[07:25:07] a toolbar button above your edit window [07:25:33] Splarka, I turned that thing off over 2 years ago. I think I have it display:none'd in my css. [07:25:49] Hi i have a question to ask [07:25:59] My edit window is very spartan. [07:26:10] newstar, just ask. [07:26:14] :) [07:26:33] Lady_Aleena: if I can find it in two minutes, you fail. [07:26:52] oh, wb mwbot :) [07:26:59] Werdna, it has been a while since I had to search for anything like this, so my search terms may be wrongt. [07:27:02] wrong even. [07:27:21] my wiki would have all articles categorized on the page say like Introduction, food, Hotel etc.. so i want to know is there anyway when a user make a new page rather than the normal edit page.. i have say input form like Food and then a text box so that when the users finishes writing the article its completely formated [07:28:21] instead of writing the whole thing on a blank page i have various text boxes and all the user has to fill in those forms and press submit and it would genereate a page with a toc etc [07:28:57] Lady_Aleena: try alt-2713 [07:29:15] or, you know, copy and paste this symbol [07:29:17] � [07:29:22] ✓ [07:30:14] I need find/replace in the edit window, so that I can do things like this without having to use my text editor which isn't all that great. [07:30:26] newstar: What you're talking about sounds a lot like what Semantic Forms offers [07:30:48] <_mary_kate_> Lady_Aleena: if you can't paste the symbol, you can't type it with alt either [07:31:23] @_mary_kate_, that is what the problem seems to be, and I would like to use it instead of long worded link text. [07:31:38] Lady_Aleena: or, you could type ઙ [07:31:46] it'll appear properly in the page itself :) [07:31:50] @_mary_kate_, I can paste it to Excel, but not my text editor. [07:31:50] <_mary_kate_> isn't it ✓? [07:32:09] _mary_kate_: I dunno. [07:32:29] A99? or 10003? [07:32:35] yeah, _mary_kate_ is right [07:33:10] Lady_Aleena: or you could just enable your toolbar and customize it with more buttons [07:33:11] super simple [07:33:28] (you can also use zocky's searchbox, which does regex search/replace in the edit box) [07:34:34] Splarka, no, I will use @_mary_kate_'s solution. It goes everywhere. :) [07:34:46] 5 clicks instead of 1, your choice [07:35:20] <_mary_kate_> the @ is not part of my nick, btw ;) [07:35:38] Splarka, actually, it is just one cell that needs to be changed in the spreadsheet that I need to change. [07:36:10] And that made no sense whatsoever. [07:36:24] ACK! Sorry, I am a bit distracted at the moment. [07:36:39] <_mary_kate_> Splarka: op nazi [07:36:50] Fire told me I am allowed to do that if you forget to unset it [07:36:55] <_mary_kate_> heh [07:37:01] cuz it is against freenode niceness policy [07:37:05] <_mary_kate_> i don't forget. he whined at me for ages and calls me lots of names [07:37:11] _mary_kate_, okay, I will not use it anymore, though I am using the tab key to fully get the usernames. Sorry... [07:37:11] <_mary_kate_> i think the policy is stupid and ignore it [07:37:22] can using semantic forms solve the problem?

Mailing lists are available at . [07:46:07] Splarka, I tried, but it is too confusing. [07:46:19] There are no hard and fast rules to go by. [07:46:47] http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/576/hesaidsemanticga2.jpg [07:47:17] one thing I agree with river on, "semantic" is stabbin' words [07:52:06] Splarka, would you look at a script and tell me how to make something appear at the bottom of the edit box instead of at the top? [07:54:49] link? [07:55:28] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ais523/bracketmatch.js the word Parse appears at the top, I would prefer it at the bottom of the edit window next to the buttons. [07:55:48] I think it is towrads the bottom of the script. [07:57:43] (loading crap, can't look yet) [07:58:31] Splarka, take your time... [08:01:07] Oh, btw, I made another table, but used that class you gave me that suppresses red links instead of #ifexist. :) And did anything come out of that conversation about using images in links, sort of like [[this|[[Image:this.svg|10px]]]]? [08:11:00] Lady_Aleena: looks fine at the top for me, but I have edittools enabled ^_^ [08:11:10] hmmm [08:11:40] Splarka, you should see how spartan my edit window is. [08:12:21] Also, having all those images load for the buttons takes too much time. [08:12:43] frankly my dear, I'd rather quote Gone with the Wind [08:13:00] heh [08:13:35] Splarka, http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Gone_With_the_Wind [08:13:35] this script is annoyingly arranged [08:14:09] Splarka, I just found it on a list of scripts, and like it because it helps me figure things out when I am writing templates.

[08:20:45] *Werdna uses a slightly higher resolution [08:21:42] 32bit color is alright though... [08:31:54] Hi! [08:33:06] I use a Template with parameters. Is there a way to prevent people from using this Template without specifying all parameters? [08:33:46] I'd like Mediawiki to prevent saving when some parameters are not set. How do I do this? [08:35:04] Caldrin: that is not possible [08:35:22] because of the "any text is valid text" paradigm. [08:35:28] indeed [08:35:33] but you can give lots of warning [08:35:50] Caldrin: you can, however, make the values default to some fat red message saying "you forget to specify X" [08:36:03] Ok, thank you. [08:36:18] {{{foo|pay attention you moron!}}} [08:36:43] well, maybe a bit more friendly [08:36:46] but you get the idea [08:37:15] I do, yes ;-) [08:37:56] <_mary_kate_> isn't one of those evil antisemitic tags? or unsemantic, whatever [08:38:50] sure is [08:39:03] wikitext is unseamntic. [08:39:14] that's why '' renders as not :) [08:40:01] Dantman: I got flamed for saying it was utterly broken from an i18n perspective, but at least I said why. Could you please elaborate on-list, because that would immediately give Guy a chance to improve... [08:40:12] all that talk about semantic markup is pretty obolete anyway. html has emerged as a thin client ui markup language. so it's mainly graphical these days.

[08:43:49] Reenabled on http://sandbox.wiki-tools.com [08:44:17] Obviously it's because I don't have large textual articles... [08:44:37] But when diffs are completely useless for anything but textual articles, there's an issue [08:45:32] Dantman: hmm, you enabled it differently than we did on Betawiki, I think. [08:45:37] <_mary_kate_> siebrand: i think you were flamed for the way you said it, which came across as a little rude [08:46:10] Dantman: we use the 'standard' diff by default, and have a choice to use visual diff. [08:46:30] Dantman: not certain what difference in config that is caused by. [08:46:39] imho it's nice as an option, but no good as a replacement [08:46:41] and indeed, it [08:46:50] is only any good for comparing flow text [08:49:00] Dantman: looks like you disabled it again. But I wasn't able to get any useful visual diffs in your wiki either. It is very text orentied, though.

[17:13:24] Or should I include anything ? [17:14:16] ^demon: and what it returns then? [17:16:07] <^demon> ialex: I can't pin it down. I've got en/es as a baseline for comparison. I used language => 'es' and it still returned en, this is after I've loaded my extension messages. [17:17:22] ^demon: iirc, wfLoadExtensionMessages() may load only some languages (user, content and their fallbacks + en) [17:17:56] <^demon> Bah, that might explain it. [17:18:03] <^demon> I figured it loaded all languages :-P [17:19:02] <^demon> So if I need to force a specific language, I should establish $wgUser as having a user lang of whatever I want to force?
