[00:57:02] For example, she started the mathematics article with "The wild seas of Mathematics, navigated by students in the whole students across the globe, and for some it unites the suffering and for other the joy!" which really isn't so helpful, which I later changed to "Mathematics is a classification of related abstract sciences which deal with the logic of quantity, shape, and arrangement." Just... [00:57:04] ...now, she messaged me with "my issue is that you edit out my humor and my imagery and I also don't understand why other people create things, if you are going to completely change them" [00:57:25] Well... that's not a MediaWiki problem... but if you want a guide, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:OWN [00:57:31] Am I in the wrong..? [00:57:43] no [00:57:51] #mediawiki is mainly for technical problems [01:01:20] Thanks Emachman, that link was quite helpful [01:01:42] (Too many policy pages on the big old wiki to swim around in) [01:20:09] 03(NEW) Links in enotif change notification email should clear wl_notificationtimestamp - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18689 enhancement; Normal; MediaWiki: Email; (greenreaper) [01:45:19] <^David> hello, when I include WebStart.php it tries to include StartProfiler.php in my current directory [01:45:27] <^David> which of course doesn't exist [02:24:01] hi,all.

[05:50:46] wizardrydragon, oh thanks a ton. [05:50:54] For example: [05:51:18] If you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version [05:51:36] wikibugs, yeah I was on the same page. :) [05:51:36] You will see that Wikipedia itself uses a variety of different extensions to the core MediaWiki software. [05:51:40] 03(mod) Add support for Imagick PHP extension - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14706 (10yecarrillo) [05:52:26] wizardrydragon, that did a great deal of work. I'm going through that page. [05:53:34] jaiZ: If you want to make a mediawiki that functions much like Wikipedia does, you can basically go through that list to install all the extensions they use - though that comes with the caveat that some of them are designed specifically towards Wikipedia's needs and may not work quite as well in other environments. [05:54:05] wizardrydragon, ohk. I see. [05:54:22] There is a whole repository of extensions, though - Wikipedia only uses a few. [05:54:36] The full list is at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_Matrix [05:55:13] If you want to see any given extention in use, [05:55:24] Check out the "check usage" link [05:55:43] wizardrydragon, apart from that don't we have something like http://community.joomla.org/showcase/ [05:56:16] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sites_using_MediaWiki ? [05:56:20] which shows you usage of mediawiki for different purposes. As the customized look of mono-project or beagle. [05:56:38] wikiindex.org [05:56:50] thanks again wizardrydragon, Splarka. [05:57:08] And yes, there's also the MW page too, though I find it kind of sparse. [05:57:53] Wikindex lists them by the different MW forks, etc. - it can be a little daunting to navigate compared to that joomla.org link, though, I suppose. [05:58:17] wizardrydragon, I am going through the list of extension mediawiki page has. [05:59:25] One thing I feel compelled to note is that if you want the full functionality for Templates, you'll want to get the ParserFunctions extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions [05:59:43] It adds considerably to the inherent MediaWiki parser functions, as the name may imply. [06:00:16] wizardrydragon, Ohk. That is a good amount to read and apply for me now. ;) [06:00:23] :) [06:00:55] I don't use many myself, but if you want to do anything complex with templates, the ParserFunctions one ... well, it's not _neccesary_ - but it makes things much easier, in my opinion. [06:01:06] (I dont use many extensions, that is) [06:01:25] ew [06:01:32] implement it in php instead [06:02:05] wizardrydragon, going though the work extensions can do is itself a lot for me. [06:02:14] wizardrydragon, but surely it is fun in nature. [06:02:53] Oh, I've seen some wikis whose Special:Version page is basically the same as the extensions list there. [06:03:02] But I try to avoid that :P [06:03:56] wizardrydragon, extension list as wikipedia has? [06:04:22] Well, that is to say, some wikis just install _everything_ - but that's hardly neccesary (or desirable, really) [06:05:07] wizardrydragon, true. Basically a universal truth for every application providing plugin like functionality. [06:05:49] Indeed. [06:06:12] But there's always the "kitchen sink" complex that seems to get some people. [06:06:17] mmm [06:06:19] kitchen sinks [06:06:40] yeah :D [06:07:30] I'd imagine many extensions are also mutually exclusive [06:08:38] (and some are just silly.. you wouldn't really need Central Auth if you only have one wiki, for example) [06:09:04] I haven't used enough of them to know if there are any specific cases of them being mutually exclusive - but it stands to reason some would be - or at the very least, some would be redundant. [06:09:10] and many are deprecated by core functionality in newer versions [06:09:29] Yeah, you don't really need AddSysop now :-) [06:09:35] 03(FIXED) Enable "IP block exemption" on all Wikimedia wikis - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18337 +comment (10Wiki.Melancholie) [06:09:45] so "everything" really means "everything that would add features and wouldn't break shit and would actually be useful in some possible way" [06:10:31] I think the whole concept off addons/extensions/plugins is to add more functionality to the core, so much that you want it. [06:10:49] But generally, that so much needs to be defined, which is not the case.

[12:34:41] I tried to edit Parser.php but nothing helps [12:34:45] *Splarka thinks you don't want him to answer again [12:35:44] *ZioCorto thinks Splarka wants to answer againg [12:35:48] LOL [12:36:23] i have no solution for the problem, so ... [12:36:38] okay, what version of MediaWiki are you using? [12:36:44] 1.14 [12:38:42] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/tags/REL1_14_0/phase3/includes/parser/Parser.php?view=markup so this should be identical to your parser prior to your edits [12:40:18] omg [12:40:33] i have an old Parser.php in my includes dir [12:40:55] i do not care about the /parser subdir [12:41:11] sorry for this [12:41:17] now it works fine [12:41:27] well, you should care about it, since it is where the parser is now, heh [12:41:52] ZioCorto: ask your question [12:43:32] Splarka: i was checking help in wiki [12:43:39] but i can't find anything [12:43:46] well the first question is this [12:44:01] *Splarka grins [12:44:08] suppose I have several pages that belongs to more than 1 category [12:44:11] how dare you bother the poor wiki before asking us! haha [12:44:44] how can I create a template that can accept an arbitrary number of values for category? [12:44:48] something like this [12:45:37] [[Category:{{{category}}}]] [12:45:40] in the template [12:45:48] so in creating a page i just write [12:45:55] |mycategory [12:46:01] but i want to have more than one [12:46:25] is there a way or it's better removing category from the template and insert categories manually while creating pages? [12:46:46] do you have the ParserFunctions extension? [12:46:58] nope [12:48:28] then it is better to categorize manually, or create templates with single categories [12:48:41] {{cats}} -> [[Category:Cats]] [12:48:58] {{mammals}} -> [[Category:Mammals]][[Category:Animals]] [12:48:59] or such [12:49:21] ok I'll categorize manually [12:49:32] in fact there won't be a lot of categories [12:49:38] maximum 3 or 4 per page [12:50:10] hmm, you could just install parserfunctions and create a template to do that pretty easily [12:50:40] {{#if:{{{1|}}}|[[Category:{{{1}}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}{{#if:{{{2|}}}|[[Category:{{{2}}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}
