[14:32:04] *freakolowsky wanted to post a funny comment on brion's "morning" but then remembered the last time he did that and it all ended up in time-travel debat ... keeping quiet :D [14:32:22] 174 people [14:32:27] now 175 [14:32:44] TimStarling: nice page... especially the thing about CSRF is something that I too have probably violated [14:33:33] bibi-B: pity they're not all qualified support engineers paid to help you with MediaWiki, eh? [14:34:01] TimStarling: awesome [14:34:05] (RC) [14:34:20] TimStarling: oh are we testing with php 5.3 RCs while we're at it? [14:34:32] could do [14:34:49] yay [14:34:55] I think we've been more or less 5.3-compatible for a while though [14:34:56] Can someone help me i have asked when i came in [14:35:39] as far as I can see you have not asked any question that we can answer [14:35:45] there are always surprises :) [14:35:59] Nikerabbit ... was typing just that :D [14:36:00] !ask | bibi-B [14:36:00] --mwbot-- bibi-B: Don't say "I have a question", or ask "Is anyone around?" or "Can anyone help?".

[14:38:03] lol ... just ask the silly question dude [14:38:59] freakolowsky: there is no reason to be unpolite [14:39:38] Nikerabbit: unpolite? [14:39:54] dude!! [14:40:38] wha'?? [14:41:25] I think he means that your lol sounded a bit derisive [14:42:13] is this place for support or somthing thats what it seems like [14:43:01] bibi-B: yes, can I help you? [14:43:37] es [14:43:51] How Do You Create The Page Locks ?? [14:44:49] you mean to stop other people from editing a page? [14:44:56] yes [14:45:27] first log in as an administrator if you're not already [14:45:42] go to the page, click "protect" which is near the top [14:45:42] I am logged in as administrator [14:46:11] there's a box near the top labelled "edit", inside you click "administrators only" [14:46:20] ok [14:46:26] i've got what seems to be a single user getting a server side error, loads fine for all my other users. http://pastebin.com/m6863e59f anybody ever seen this? [14:46:31] then scroll down to the bottom, and click "confirm" [14:46:36] then you're done [14:46:55] how do you use {{pp-vandalism}} [14:47:04] and things like that [14:47:28] if you're an admin on wikipedia, you use it in accordance with policy [14:47:39] if you're not, you don't bother with such things [14:48:10] ok [14:48:33] how do you add flash [14:49:33] go to www.mediawiki.org and search for "flash" [14:50:11] it's weird that it is a server-side error, but only 1 user gets it [14:50:33] rchern, perhaps he uses a different skin? [14:50:50] how can i look at that? [14:51:03] try setting his skin to default [14:51:13] rchern: it looks like a bug in the auth plugin [14:51:16] can you guess my next question? (; [14:51:25] how do i change a user's skin? [14:51:38] it's easier to change your skin [14:51:46] and see if you get its error [14:51:56] but if i don't know what skin he is using... [14:52:02] try all of them [14:52:13] for testing, useskin is your friend [14:52:18] open the demo links in new tabs [14:52:26] I don't know why you think it's skin-related [14:52:29] and anyways, there's only 1 custom skin, which is what i'm using [14:52:41] the skin is right, "User:" isn't a valid title [14:52:45] because the error is from SkinTemplate ? [14:52:58] TimStarling: only one user get's the error ... wouldn't auth bug be global [14:53:13] TimStarling, the bug isn't necessarily on the skin [14:53:21] but the skin is showing it [14:53:31] ...just for one user [14:53:34] $wgUser->getUserPage() is probably returning an invalid title [14:53:44] due to a bug during authentication [14:54:57] he isn't logged in [14:55:03] and can't [14:55:10] the main page always works fine he says [14:55:17] but clicking any other random page he gets that error [14:55:25] Does anyone have any experience with the KML Export extension? [14:55:27] good evening/morning all,how can I edit group permissions ?

[14:56:44] Platonides:thanks [14:57:07] you're welcome :) [14:57:12] could be a bug with the skin... ;) [14:58:23] well like i said, the skins that are there are the built-in ones and a custom one that is the default skin that i and probably ever other user is using [14:58:30] so i'm skeptical (; [14:58:41] but i'm not sure what i need to be looking for to resolve this [14:58:51] rchern, start by testing them [14:59:41] so I found out yesterday that there were half a dozen sequels to Caesar III [15:00:09] and coincidentally, I made a windows VM today... [15:00:16] *freakolowsky yet again refrains from using a certain three-letter acronym [15:01:09] "coincidentally" [15:01:34] it was!

[15:31:44] I've thought this condition should prevent index.php? to be interpreted as title (RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(redirect|index).php(.*) [NC]) but it seems does not.

[16:35:46] !ask I just imported wikipedia's databse into MW 1.14 and am getting error 1271 on a lot of pages. How do I fix that? [16:35:46] --mwbot-- Don't say "I have a question", or ask "Is anyone around?" or "Can anyone help?". Just ask the question, and someone will help you if they can. See also: !gethelp [16:36:12] l8r ppl ... off to the shop, so mah kitteh won't be hungry and nom my eyes out at night [16:37:05] Traveler: probably means you dumped from a database with one charset and imported to one with a different one [16:37:27] and/or your tables got munged to use different charsets/collations [16:37:51] what charset does wikipedia use, do you know? And is it a case for re-import or is there a fix for it? [16:40:19] try xml export-import, it's slower but much more robust from my experience [16:40:37] and you won't be troubled with database tables change [16:41:38] and no problem with charsets, I believe xml dump is always ut8 (correct me if I am wrong) [16:41:41] is that importData.php? Doesn't that tend to time-out on large databases like wikipedia? [16:42:17] I pulled down the XML dump, then used mwdumper to import it. I think my DB was set to UTF-8 (checking) [16:42:17] Traveler: maybe, I haven't tried it on such large wikies, yet. is it really that bad? [16:42:33] it's 6 million pages [16:42:49] 6 million, oh that's really too much [16:42:52] :) [16:43:18] I tried using mwdumper on an old machine, was going to take 27 days. I can't imagine what importDump.php would take. [16:43:48] it's really strange it's that's slow. it shouldn't be that slow. [16:45:10] and why such a large base on a slow machine... bad idea, probably. [16:45:58] IT's the machine I had and the database I needed sadly [16:46:10] I've moved over to a faster machine now, but get these errors [16:47:25] you probably have to turn on debugging with database logging, but that probably would slow the process down even more. [16:47:48] to fix the character error? [16:48:15] 1271 is a charset mismatch error? [16:48:17] enwiki dumps are probably still in latin1 or w/e [16:48:32] or did you dl the xml dump? [16:50:02] I d/l the dump enwiki-20080312-pages-articles [16:50:11] and Quest - that's what overlord said... [16:50:53] sorry my wikis are much smaller and xml dumps always were importing fine. my bases are always utf8 and collation is utf8_general_ci [16:51:11] I never tried importing such large dumps. [16:51:27] Quest - that's what I had as my base as well, I thought it was pretty standard [16:52:37] rar OverlordQ [16:53:37] I didn't do it, wasn't me, I was out of the country, my twin did it, i was asleep [16:53:46] http://toolserver.org/~overlordq/mwbot-logs/%23mediawiki/20090511.txt [16:53:58] all valid excuses [16:54:18] 04(REOPENED) API: revision size with list=usercontribs - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18743 +comment (10brion) [16:55:11] normal mwbot is back I'll probably delete those unless there's an urgent need to keep it [16:55:21] eep [16:55:27] well don't delete them [16:55:32] can you at least unforbid that one for a bit?
