[00:02:26] hmm, what if the int: only populated tables based on parsing the content language? [00:03:56] {{#switch:{{int:Lang}}|en=[[Foo]]|fr=[[Bar]]}}... would show [[Bar]] for french, but secretly always parse the contentLang tree for the link table? (double the work in some cases)... [00:07:06] ok. following directions on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_Person [00:07:25] it tells me to simply paste in the balnk template into an article [00:07:46] and add the information into the fields [00:07:50] it's not working [00:10:55] Isakill, this is on the English Wikipedia that you're following the instructions? [00:10:59] If so, try #wikipedia-en. [00:13:32] wait... you mean to tell me that programming the wikipedia (which from what I can see is powered by the wikimedia)isn't the same as the wikimedia?

The most common issues with templates copied from Wikipedia can be fixed by installing ParserFunctions and enabling HTML Tidy . [00:14:30] o.O [00:14:31] Templates are site-specific. Each site can create its own templates. [00:14:32] wait [00:14:44] not one person said I had to install anything else [00:15:00] Template:Infobox_Person is something that someone on Wikipedia created, it doesn't exist in MediaWiki by default. [00:15:00] No template exists in MediaWiki by default, you need to create them. [00:16:01] I read about that.. the creating thing.. but nowhere on any template page I found said anything about installing a parser... this may be the MOST helpful advice i've recieved [00:16:28] nor did anyone mention it this morning [00:17:28] thank you.. let me look into and install this parser function [00:17:35] *Mike||gone advocates for including it in core [00:19:53] Isakill, you need to copy the template and all the templates it calls, first, to your wiki. [00:20:42] Then you'll probably also need to install some extensions like ParserFunctions. [00:34:07] ok [00:35:54] Mike||gone, I agree.. this has been the most confsing project i've ever embarked on in recent times [00:36:27] Well, Tim said "no" to putting it in core, but I don't recall the reasons. [00:36:48] but seeing as I'm not brion, it probably doesn't matter what I think. [00:38:09] heh [00:44:57] sweet.. parser functions installed [00:54:50] ok another question.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Birth_date states that by copy/paste this line: [00:54:59] {{Birth date|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth|additional parameters}} [00:55:24] into a template:BDA will make the template?

[03:44:47] still has horizontal scrollbar [03:45:00] :/ what resolution? [03:45:26] 1280x1024 [03:45:27] What would be the best way to include the script.aculo.us and prototype javascript files from an extension? [03:45:34] Like where would I put the files, mainly [03:45:39] hm, maybe it's those size="45" textboxen [03:45:49] maybe you were right to pare themdown. [03:45:56] It would be nice if they'd expand to fill the available space. [03:46:16] Also, thinking of turning that thing on the LHS into tabs. [03:46:27] werdnum: when I click the [+] for something, I get the same link under it [03:47:11] Yeah, that's subsections. [03:47:24] for most of them, the subsection == the supersection. [03:47:31] I could add a special case for that, though. [03:47:34] :/ [03:47:54] it isn't so special if it is like all of them :) [03:48:11] haha [03:48:21] well, I've disabled a lot of settings since that tree layout was designed :) [03:48:49] Isakill: it's when you try to call the template from that template, e.g. Having {{Test}} on the page Template:Test when it is not enclosed in tags [03:49:08] There might be too many sections for a tab layout. Hmm.. [03:50:08] How easily can new JavaScript variables be added to the assignment block at the top of each page (with wgTitle and such)? A variable for the type of log being viewed on Special:Log would be useful. [03:50:52] Can be done pretty simply. [03:51:09] But couldn't you parse wgTitle or something? [03:51:36] what if i'm not trying to call the template from within itself? [03:51:53] context plz/ [03:52:17] AaronSchulz: other than the toc, anything layouty that might need fixing? [03:52:41] the horizontal scrollbar [03:52:53] That will be fixed by the toc... [03:53:01] (assuming I move it from the side) [03:54:11] hmm, flaggedrevs config looks ok now at least [03:54:32] though all the array values are duplicated and broken [03:54:41] werdnum: log doesn't have the type -- it's always log [03:54:51] werdnum: Unfortunately not; wgPageName and wgTitle both stop at 'Log'; presumably the slash-delimited parameter isn't considered part of the title.

[03:56:17] The alternative is to check if the first select in the DOM has a value of 'move' at the selected index, which is pretty fragile. :) [03:56:34] yes [03:56:35] (And is only accurate so long as the user doesn't change the select.)

[06:05:34] i guess that's what I need in order to run the wiki on my subdomain [06:06:22] well, no, you can have the wiki on a sub.domain.com [like that] and be on shared hosting [06:07:08] However if you want MW to work decently a VPS is best [06:07:09] but not with godaddy sux, they don't work that way :( the .sub is in the root and that goes like this sub.domain.com and also sub.domain.com [06:07:32] wow [06:07:35] that created a redirection problem, very confusing [06:07:56] sorry, i meant and also like domain.com/sub [06:08:09] Well, you could get like a linode... that would give you a lot of control, your subdomain preferences, etc... but it will cost more [06:08:25] Only round $20/mo [06:08:41] The kind of money it takes to buy a coffee a day [06:08:51] I dont drink coffee [06:08:53] ^_^ Actually, that's probably more expensive [06:08:58] heh, which is why all those damn 'save money tips!" never work for me [06:08:58] ;) Then pay for webhosting [06:09:13] that's about what I could pay, but for this price they usually don't give many databases neither bandwith or diskspace [06:09:15] I don't drink coffee either... where do you think I put that? [06:09:27] Erm... [06:09:43] http://www.linode.com [06:09:46] Mathieu1: are you in a position of needing a lot of diskspace and bw? [06:09:59] Smallest package has 12gb of storage, and 200gb of bandwidth [06:10:12] More than enough for quite awhile [06:10:29] Yeah, I would think that would be plenty [06:10:32] And it's a VPS, so as for databases... you run the databases, and the webservers [06:10:40] Esp if you're on a crappy shared godaddy situation right now [06:11:20] For all they care, you could run your own IRC server (however IRC servers are a little heavy, it normally takes one of the larger packages to run an IRC server) [06:11:27] Just make sure to monitor your usage and not use too many resources. If you get too big, linode will ask you to move away or buy more. [06:11:35] today they gd sux gives me 25 databases + Bandwidth Allotment: 1,500,000 MB + Disk Space Allotment: 150,000 MB, and that runs on Linux which is a bit less expensive [06:11:58] you guys are typing too quickly :) [06:12:11] Mathieu1: did you install the mediawiki software yourself with godaddy? Or did they provide it for you? [06:12:41] sherrod: they provided it, which is nice because they also update it when needed [06:12:59] ooooooh k [06:13:07] VPS gives you unlimited databases... you can keep them as up to date as you want, and you aren't limited to their panel [06:13:22] Mathieu1: are you good with linux? [06:13:44] Updating mw is a brease... backup db, svn switch, svn up, php maintenance/update.php [06:13:49] sherrod: not at all, never tried [06:13:56] Mathieu1: ok, i see [06:14:43] where do i learn about VPS [06:14:44] 03(mod) Ability to preview vector/re-rendered images in Special:Upload "warning" interstitial. - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16437 (10herd) [06:15:08] wikipedia i guess [06:15:21] Mathieu1: if you get a VPS, you will need to learn linux in order to setup your wiki instance [06:17:08] sherrod: i already installed mw a few times by downloading the package and following the instructions. It worked until i decided to try gd sux. Is there a difference with the VPS? [06:17:45] Mathieu1: not too much of a differnce. If you're comfortable configuring and installing mw and the required databases, you should be fine. [06:17:56] then no problem [06:18:09] do you know how to ssh? [06:18:26] and like, move around with a command line? [06:19:44] sherrod: I didn't know what a wiki was two months ago and now I have one running, or almost. I guess I can learn how to ssh too? [06:20:04] sure [06:20:14] that is fun and easy [06:20:21] You guys write code all day. Do you dream in 1 and 0 ? [06:20:38] binary dreams [06:20:40] nah, just in { and } [06:20:45] and // [06:20:46] lol [06:20:56] I don't write code. I use the code they write [06:21:08] so, uhh, thanks :] [06:23:26] the reason why I'd like to install mw on a sub.domain.com is because I'll have several sub.domains (en, fr, sp, it, etc). Should I try to simply go with a wiki family? [06:24:11] I'm afraid to use the same database and same source code for all the wikis [06:24:39] we use multiple databases and same source code [06:24:46] 03(mod) Provide preference-based autoformatting for unlinked dates - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4582 (10p858snake) [06:25:34] what if someone search an article in the en.wiki.com, could that probably pop up a result from the fr.wiki.com too? [06:26:08] domas: hey is that possible? [06:27:03] no [06:27:07] only if you make it so [06:31:01] how is wikipedia working with its sub.domains? do you guys know? a wiki for each language? [06:31:03] domas: can't multiple wikis use single database just with different table names prefix? [06:31:25] agaran: they can [06:31:37] Mathieu1: [08:24] domas we use multiple databases and same source code [06:31:44] agaran: wow, that becomes complicated for the average guy that I am [06:32:33] where did Schroeder go? bye! [06:32:44] Mathieu1: what kind of wiki are you setting up? [06:32:50] domas: wow, EC2 is pretty cool [06:32:58] domas: you can get a box with 15 GB RAM [06:33:07] you could store most of enwp database in memory [06:33:14] wheee, 10,000 fold speed increase :P [06:33:18] werdnum: I advocated in quite a few situations, don't use it myself [06:33:22] sherrod: a multi-languages wiki, nothing complicated [06:34:00] werdnum: I told people to use EC2 instead of building out expensive lab setups in our datacenter at mysql [06:34:09] for certain depts [06:34:12] domas: If anybody ever wants to do stats on DB dumps, EC2 looks up to the job. [06:34:23] ye [06:34:29] especially if you can distribute the task [06:34:30] Imagine doing stats on the entire enwp database loaded into RAM. [06:34:44] we run 32-gig instances nowadays ;-) [06:34:56] whee [06:34:57] anyway, enwiki doesn't fit into RAM, if you look at all crossindexing [06:35:07] indexing, yeah maybe not :P [06:35:11] you could distribute though [06:35:29] and load only relevant tables. [06:35:30] did you see "Overlay Weaver" ? :) [06:35:35] no? [06:36:13] we looked at EC2 but it was too expensive [06:36:13] I feel like upgrading xchat [06:36:22] sherrod: EC2 is good for temporary load spikes [06:36:29] not for permanent hosting [06:36:37] I feel like I'm traveling in another country... I see words and sentences that I don't understand... feels exotic to me [06:36:45] domas: so, people use it for like "overflow" sort of? [06:36:46] too expensive for permanent. [06:36:54] hmm, nbd exported tmpfs from bunch fo 4G pc' and raid5 over that?;D [06:37:06] nbd == network block device of course [06:37:57] brb [06:38:39] Mathieu1: note that you can share the user database/table across the wikis, or use SUL... the SUL is more of a patch to make older installations pretend they always had a shared user table [06:38:49] but SUL does have more features... [06:39:10] Splarka: thanks! [06:39:26] it is like... a cast for a broken leg, that also as a jetski in it [06:39:54] wow that is an incredible simile [06:40:00] alright, who's gonna have the last word about a reliable, easy to set-up, not too crazy expensive, and fun hosted server company? [06:40:04] it lets you log in to multiple domains (not just subdomains) for example [06:40:20] Mathieu1: minthost [06:40:49] Mathieu1: I've had good results with linode, but if the wiki gets big/popular, you will want to move. [06:41:28] p858snake: you, you work for them, right? or they pay you to put their name on forums... just kidding, I'll seriously look into it [06:42:43] sherrod: the wiki is already popular even though it's not public yet :( I should consider a long relationship with whoever I end up with with the hosting [06:43:20] if it crashes the VPS, linode will be pissed [06:43:30] sherrod: can't afford to move [06:43:47] sherrod: umm, don't want that [06:43:54] so... you're running a website that is quite popular, but don't have any money? [06:44:19] you know the trends in silicon valley, come up with a business plan later that's [06:44:36] i can't put add on the wiki, that sux [06:44:58] i can't do partnership neither [06:45:30] Can you charge for memberships? If it is popular, then it will hit a point where you can't afford it by yourself anymore. [06:46:17] ^_^ Smart people track IP's so they know who to drain blood money from... [06:46:25] no membership, I want everyone to access the knowledge for free [06:46:45] when I can't afford it, that's when I sell it :) [06:46:54] oh boy [06:47:00] And that's my allotment of random phrases for the day [06:47:14] Dantman: that wasn't random... that was sage advice :] [06:47:19] Heh [06:47:23] i agree [06:47:25] Ohwait... I had one from earlier [06:47:29] hehe [06:47:38] "Pizza... truly the food of the world" [06:47:41] [[Special:Random]] => [[Sage]] [06:47:44] heh [06:47:46] Is there a way to prevent linebreaks being transcluded in templates? [06:48:04] them [06:48:14] or to eat linebreaks in output but keep the code readable [06:48:24] {{#if:foo|bar}}{{#if:foo|bar}}
