[10:11:35] Yes [10:11:49] can they also accept page IDs after a pipe? [10:11:54] The database just does a >= (or <= ) comparison [10:11:55] No [10:11:56] (as per cmcontinue) [10:12:11] hmm, so how do you disambiugate with say, 500 of the same sortkey (stupid users, but possible) [10:12:11] No, cmcontinue does since a few second [10:12:22] You use cmcontinue [10:12:26] k [10:12:36] cmcontinue=sortkey|which|may|contain|pipes|123 [10:12:37] so how to combine the functionality of both into the UI, simply [10:12:48] &from=MMmmmmmmm|id [10:13:05] &from=foo|bar|baz|baf|id where id might just be a random number.. and foo|bar might be a >= [10:13:09] Ain't that simple; you'd have to rewrite the relevant *Pager class quite a bit [10:13:14] yah [10:13:31] maybe a second set of parameters? &fromid= &untilid= ? [10:13:46] Yeah that's probably cleaner [10:13:54] Still, IndexPager only supports paging by one field, not by two [10:14:01] damn [10:14:10] So you'd have to write a new pager class, like DoubleIndexPager, which pages on two fields [10:14:19] e.g. ns/title, or in this case sortkey/pageid [10:14:34] 03ialex * r42198 10/trunk/phase3/ (RELEASE-NOTES includes/api/ApiQueryUserContributions.php): [10:14:34] Per Catrope's request, commiting patch on bug 16018: [10:14:34] * (bug 16018) Added uccontinue parameter to list=usercontribs so paging works properly when multiple users are queried or a userprefix is used [10:14:41] Thanks ialex [10:14:42] be easier just to _add_ the pageid into the sortkey when they get categorized *grumble* [10:14:56] 03(FIXED) Need a username parameter in query-continue for API usercontribs - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16018 +comment (10alex.emsenhuber) [10:15:06] the chances of ambiguation would be exponentially reduced [10:15:15] I mean literally, sortkey = sortkey|pageid [10:15:27] if page is > 70 chars, then the sortkey is complex enough not to care [10:15:51] you'd have to try pretty hard to break it in such a case [10:16:09] Well there's no need to duplicate information; there's a cl_from field with the page ID, and an index on cl_sortkey first, then cl_from, so you've got everything you need [10:16:10] it'd just make slightly uglier &until and &from [10:16:34] heh, right, but drastic rewrite of pager classes, or divorcing category paging from reality... [10:17:01] bah, not sure what to do for a bug then [10:17:12] "things in categories are fucked up" sums it up [10:17:41] hi JeLuF [10:17:44] Well IMO it's Pager's fault; categories aren't the only case in which paging by multiple fields is useful [10:18:01] mmm, any open bugs for that that could be blockers for this? [10:18:19] Not that I'm aware of [10:18:31] Maybe there are similar disambiguation cases [10:20:10] Categories have it rough with the duplication of sortkeys. I still like the idea of sortkey's getting appended with the page title mandatorily ^_^ *ducks* [10:23:30] *Splarka gets headache, submits bug before he forgets [10:25:52] page ID :P [10:26:54] 03(NEW) Category pagination (&from and &until) should utilize pageid for disambiguating identical-sortkeys - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16021 minor; normal; MediaWiki: Categories; (herd) [10:27:13] well, at least with page title it doesn't needlessly duplicate info [10:27:27] page ID is shorter [10:27:33] (and since categories are alphabetical by sortkey, it is a teeny tiny bit more intuitive) [10:27:41] heh, compromise is possible [10:27:49] the page title cropped to the lenght of the pageid ^_^ [10:27:55] makes sense in a sadistic way [10:27:59] lol [10:28:11] if you have 99 pages, you don't need more than 2 letters to disambiguate most likely [10:28:22] if you have 10,000,000, then 8 characters should be good [10:28:29] Well because the sortkey is usually a substring of the page title, it feels like a waste of space [10:28:42] mmm, space vs cpu vs bandwidth [10:29:12] Werdna: more opinion than "page ID :P" on this in general? [10:30:03] Splarka: What exactly do you mean by "it involves exact sortkey matching"? The API doesn't require exact sortkey matching in cmcontinue [10:31:08] well, it pretends to [10:31:09] "info": "Invalid continue param. You should pass the original value returned by the previous query", [10:31:20] What was the continue parameter? [10:31:28] It should end with a | , remember [10:31:28] &cmcontinue=Flibble [10:31:34] Use cmcontinue=Foo| [10:31:37] you mean, if it contains a pipe, it is good to go? [10:31:38] that's odd [10:31:46] Well there are two fields [10:31:52] hmm [10:32:04] right, but it _always_ contains a pipe [10:32:07] Sortkey, which happens to be non-empty, and pageID, which happens to be empty [10:32:08] Yes [10:32:19] So if the sortkey is "Foo|" your cmcontinue would be Foo|| [10:32:26] And Foo||123 for the next set [10:32:28] well, anyways, the instructions say "You should pass the original value returned by the previous query"... [10:32:35] Yes [10:32:38] so it seems to me, like it would almost never be filled in by a human [10:32:53] therefor, my claim is accurate in practice if not in technicality? heh [10:33:04] Yes, kind of [10:33:11] *Splarka wishes you'd stop changing the rules on him though [10:33:13] The API happens to always use exact matching, but doesn't require it [10:33:17] *Splarka wishes you'd fill in your own bugs too! arr [10:33:22] lol [10:33:31] *Splarka assigns that bug to you just to annoy you [10:33:35] (not really) [10:33:39] lol [10:34:47] Anyway, continue parameters aren't designed to be filled out by humans, although it's not wrong to do so either [10:35:08] mmm, well, it probably isn't best to blindly trust them either [10:35:23] But if the continue parameter is malformed, that means it has to have been filled out by a human, because query-continue doesn't produce malformed output [10:35:23] like with cmdir=desc prior to your recent fix X_X [10:35:27] Hence the error message [10:35:42] Well we escape continue parameters before passing them to the database, of coures [10:35:55] "query-continue doesn't produce malformed output" <-- heh [10:35:58] ideally you mean [10:36:08] Yeah [10:36:14] Except in the sortkey-with-pipes case [10:36:28] In which I kind of cheated by just changing the definition of malformed :P [10:36:33] haha [10:37:08] well, you coulda changed it to double URI encoding [10:37:23] Foo%257CBar%257CBaz|123 [10:37:23] ... [10:37:44] (the API accepts %7C as | for parameter delimiting, right?) [10:37:46] I also could've used ]] as an escape sequence for | :P equally ugly [10:37:47] Yes [10:38:18] so, cheated but kept the user-end clean... do any query-continue use two parameters? [10:38:33] Not at the same time, no. [10:38:46] Although list=usercontribs now uses either ucstart or uccontinue depending on the context [10:39:00] *Splarka nods [10:39:02] But that shouldn't be an issue [10:39:10] Nor should multiple continue parameters at once [10:39:23] Clients are supposed to just blindly do whatever query-continue tells them to [10:40:29] "query-continue": { [10:40:29] "categorymembers": { [10:40:29] "sendlifesavings": "BankOfZurich|Account#18271823" [10:40:51] json jokes for the win [10:41:16] Technically that should be cmsendlifesavings ;) :P [10:41:28] hmm [10:42:10] does uccontinue work with prefix mode? [10:42:12] *Splarka looks at the patch [10:42:25] (or just with multiple ucuser= ?) [10:42:56] prefix mode and multiple ucuser [10:43:04] $this->multiUserMode [11:18:31] when you run dumpbackup.php it creates a file I'm assuming, where is that file stored?

[11:26:57] I would like to list references on a single page and use citation to link to the reference page. Is that possible? e.g. The sun is large (Newton, 1700). and in the reference page: Newton Issac, 1700 book. Now I would like to click on (Newton, 1700) and go to the reference page. [11:31:23] sphenxes: Cite extension? [11:39:03] It is no longer Friday... :-P [11:53:38] how do i find my database table prefix? [11:54:43] t0lk: $wgDBPrefix? [11:55:13] it's set to "" [11:55:28] t0lk: then you are not using any prefix [11:55:38] oh [11:55:41] ok [11:56:03] i'm trying to use mw_tools that requires a prefix: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mw_tools [11:56:11] is there anything I can tell it for that field [11:56:25] "$wgDBprefix in the LocalSettings.php must equal to the backup` table prefix. Otherwise, the recover maybe failed." [11:58:24] t0lk: Just ensure that the installation you are recovering to has the same prefix as it was backuped, that is, no prefix, or $wgDBPrefix = "" [11:59:45] ok [12:00:04] mw_tools doesn't want to run without a defined prefix :/ [12:00:42] In that case, you should report this bug to the author of this tool... [12:01:09] ok [12:01:10] due, thanks [12:01:13] thanks :) [12:01:17] ^_^ Especially since the recommended settings for MW is to have no db prefix [12:01:31] T_T Don't spit on the sane people [12:22:03] 03(NEW) Sun Wiki Publisher - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16023 15enhancement; normal; Wikimedia: General/Unknown; (smihael) [12:36:48] Dantman: the people without crappy hosts :) [12:37:52] ^_^ Can't handle $20 a month?

[12:52:22] Is there a markup variable that will return the browsers user name? I don't see it if there is. [12:52:34] No, of course not [12:52:39] no, that can't be done for reasons of performance. [12:52:44] Firstly that would break caching horribly [12:52:52] ok thanks [12:52:56] In brief, the page would have to be regenerated for every user, which would be a massive waste of resources. [12:53:00] Secondly, the art of detecting browsers is unreliable [12:53:00] :) [12:53:11] Dantman: he's talking about the username of who's viewing the page. [12:53:21] detecting browsers? [12:53:30] oh, heh... Didn't see the "user" [12:53:38] he thinks you mean {{USERBROWSER}} gives 'firefox', 'safari', 'chrome', whatever. [12:53:42] but he's wrong :) [12:53:48] yes [12:53:49] heh, thought [12:53:55] okay thank you [13:39:52] 03(mod) Possibility to link to particular section of [[Special: Preferences]] - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16013 (10Eugene.Zelenko) [13:50:29] Hi, what is the local flag on Special:Interwikis?
