Renameuser or UserMergeandDelete? [00:44:50] what about them? [00:44:50] RenameUser is likely to be more reliable and better-tested. [00:44:58] (if you mean "which should I use?") [00:45:05] ok thanks [00:45:08] it depends what you want to do [00:45:26] i'm writing an extension,a [00:45:31] you can't delete and merge users with RenameUser I don't think [00:45:55] no [00:46:15] and the extension should rename a user. but the new name might already exist [00:46:47] yet its ok if the new user gets deleted, as long as the user gets renamed [00:48:06] so essentially i need the functionally of usermergeanddelete, but renameuser does seem to be more up-to-date (isnt even compatable with 1.1.13) [00:48:32] 03malafaya * r46176 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/ (2 files in 2 dirs): Special:ImportLangNames full i18n support [00:56:00] gbruin, RenameUser is used by Wikipedia, so as I said, it's probably going to be a lot more reliable, well-tested, and up-to-date. [00:56:08] Plus you can likely get support for it here more easily. [00:56:22] If you want to rename to an existing name, you can just rename the existing user to something else first. [00:58:01] Alright [01:00:21] 03(WONTFIX) Displaying last editor' s edits on the edit page to reduce vandalism - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3639 +comment (10JSchulz_4587) [01:04:53] Hmm. This is causing an error for me when using custom CSS. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/29939 [01:06:52] that shouldn't afflict anything unless you load the css via @load using /wiki/Foo?action=raw&ctype=text/css [01:07:31] (although there are reports of ?action=raw returning errors even when using the primary script access point, in oddly configured rewrite installations) [01:08:11] Simetrical: brion did that mostly because of a .bat virus in an &oldid I showed him was a danger in almost all versions of mozilla [01:08:50] My server has neither $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL'] nor $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] set. [01:08:51] you could /wiki/Virus.bat?oldid=12345&action=raw and mozilla would ask you to save the arbitrary contents of an oldid as 'virus.bat' (as oldid ignores title, but browser sees it as the string between / and ?) [01:09:03] So it's raising the error falsely. [01:09:11] odd [01:09:23] but people have reported that before [01:09:27] http://thor.twcenter.net/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:TWC.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text%2Fcss&smaxage=18000&action=raw&maxage=18000 [01:09:32] That's a var_dump of $_SERVER. [01:09:47] 'SCRIPT_NAME' seems to be what's set. [01:10:51] (also, it was kind of silly to forbid it just to MSIE, I think that was the last USER_AGENT content switcher in core) [01:11:12] ((double although: it breaks interwiki magic transclusions if the interwiki link is registered for articlepath)) [01:12:45] What's the difference between SCRIPT_NAME and PHP_SELF, and why isn't the latter set for me? [01:12:48] *Simetrical frowns at PHP [01:15:09] *Splarka looks cluelessly blond at Simetrical ^_% [01:15:47] This seems to be a FastCGI bug. [01:16:47] Or maybe a lighttpd bug. [01:17:27] i doubt lighttpd is meant to set PHP_SELF [01:17:52] There we go. [01:17:56] It's a PHP conf bug.

This gives a nicer and more correct error [01:31:51] message. Possibly better solutions: [01:31:52] 1) Figure out how to do this without PHP_SELF. [01:31:56] 2) Give a warning or error on installation, or even on every page view, [01:32:45] Oh I've hit that bug before. [01:32:55] I had a live hack to fix it, but I don't remember what it is. [01:33:06] I *think* it was using REQUEST_URI instead of PHP_SELF [01:33:55] You just need to enable cgi.fix_pathinfo in php.ini. [01:34:47] I had a live hack in MediaWiki itself. [01:36:07] I added an error message instead. [01:36:12] Probably there's a better solution. [01:36:21] Hi everyone, if i pass something through a parser function eg. $wgParser->recursiveTagParse('{{Special:RecentChanges}}'); [01:36:21] I am getting a string returned "UNIQ263b564f57020e40-item-1--QINU" [01:36:39] am i suppose to put that through $wgOut?

[02:43:05] would I be looking at programming a hook or extension? [02:45:27] hello! what is the style code to change all borders color for a cell? [02:45:56] or should i change it one by one? on wikipedia is an example but it isn't very usefull [02:46:58] you'd want to be looking in your skins css and changing the appropiate table/td/tr values [02:47:41] eg. adding something like border:1px solid blue; [02:48:39] if it is just one cell... | style="border:1px solid blue" | cell content or cell content [02:49:16] if it is all cells on a table... or {| class="blueborders" and then in cite-wide css: table.blueborders td {border:1px solid blue} [02:53:04] <_Vi> werdnum, "Backing_up_a_wiki" implies I have access to server, which is not the case. I mean some like "wget -r", but for mediawiki and that writes Special:Export-style XML file. [02:53:37] Well you could put together a custom solution if you were really motivated [02:54:08] Splarka, it is just one cell [02:54:09] <_Vi> How to get list of all articles with minimal load for server? [02:54:19] _Vi: use the API 'allpages'. [02:54:30] but instead of "solid blue" can i use an html code? example: #3ccc5f [02:54:47] <_Vi> Is "API" accessible from ordinary users? [02:56:23] luminoso: yes u can [02:56:46] thanks :-D [02:59:18] <_Vi> werdnum, "MediaWiki API is not enabled for this site. Add the following line to your LocalSettings.php" [02:59:37] <_Vi> Is traversing "Special:Allpages" a good method? [03:00:36] _Vi: If you like. [03:00:42] it's pretty much the same, except it's harder to parse. [03:01:06] You should add that line to your LocalSettings.php [03:01:54] <_Vi> I can't add anything to LocalSettings.php because of this is not my wiki. (BTW their admins lost the database once because of lack of backup) [03:02:47] <_Vi> Is wikipediafs a good method of fetching articles' sources? [03:31:42] just ask the wiki owners to enable the api [03:34:38] Is API on by default in recent versions? [03:36:06] I believe it is [03:36:18] though I don't know how recent recent it [03:37:28] well, 'recent' is vague [03:38:47] Simetrical: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=16442 [03:39:19] that was between 1.7 and 1.8 branching [03:39:58] so of course it was off by default that far back ^_^ [03:44:02] Simetrical: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=16922 [03:44:32] and that was after 1.8 branch, so probably 1.9++ [03:46:51] Is there a way to hotwire the DifferenceEngine.php to use with any set of strings? [03:48:40] sure [03:49:02] Is it difficult? [03:49:36] most of DifferenceEngine.php was stolen from another wiki engine [03:49:45] so I should think stealing it for a third wouldn't be too hard [03:50:30] I don't suppose any of it is documented? [03:50:40] sure, in the file [03:51:09] I guess I'll spend some time trying to figure it out. [03:51:23] tangental: would a method to diff two arbitrary strings in the UI or API be a bit of a burden to large farms? You can diff any two non-deleted revisions, on the same article or even different articles, or diff against user input and a top revision of an article, but you can't diff user input against an oldid or user input against more user input without saving [03:52:06] depends whether anyone uses it [03:52:17] wikidiff2 is pretty fast though [03:52:46] a few hundred KB per second per core [03:53:18] possibly BEANSy, but could a mini-DOS happen against repeatedly and vehemently diffing against large top revisions without ever saving? [03:53:29] (oop, too many against) [03:54:27] not really, no [03:55:04] there are plenty of slower algorithms to attack [03:55:50] mmm, how about on a wiki that can't utilize the non-php differ (wikidiff2?) [03:56:18] yes, it's pretty easy to DoS the PHP diff engine, accidentally or on purpose [03:56:26] that's why I wrote the C++ version [03:57:34] heh [03:58:08] the PHP one is the same time order, just 150 times slower and using 200 times more memory [03:58:16] it's all in the constant factors :) [03:59:04] hello Tim-away [03:59:13] hi [03:59:41] How's Sydney? [04:00:21] ever pondered making the differ a bit of a mini-parser, for things like... adding +{{\nfoo\n}} between {{\nbar\n}} {{\nbaz\n}}, so it would start with '{{' instead of the previous '}}' ? [04:00:26] fine [04:00:58] Splarka: no [04:01:21] same for say, [[abc]] [[def]] [[ghi]] -> [[abc]] [[def]] [[ghi]] [04:01:23] poo [04:01:58] there are plenty of more interesting and useful tasks for me to do [04:02:12] you _always_ use that excuse ^_^ [04:03:19] then I'm sure you know what's coming next? [04:05:38] *Splarka sneeks off to avoid [04:06:10] so, Splarka, if you find the concept of smarter diffs particularly interesting, you can always do it yourself and send me a patch [04:06:49] bbl [04:07:32] s/do it yourself/learn PHP and do it yourself/ [04:08:38] *Splarka peeks up from the gopher hole, sees the suggestion go whizzing past [04:09:03] werdnum: enjoying the rain here?

[13:16:13] Mr-Fine, the point is that you can't do this automatically unless you write a computer program to do it for you. If you don't know how to program and don't want to learn, then don't pursue a bot solution. [13:16:26] Go look for an extension instead, someone might have made one. [13:19:04] AWB had a assessment category creator plugin for WP Projects... i think it became deprecated and removed though [13:22:50] update the wikiproject banner to use WPBannerMeta and it will give you links to create categories that don't exist >.> [13:32:19] hi2all [13:33:30] �� , � �� IIS + MSSQL?
