[14:27:23] <^demon> Bugzilla. [14:27:32] <^demon> !bugzilla | QCoder00 [14:27:32] --mwbot-- QCoder00: All bugs in MediaWiki should be reported at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org. This is also the place to request site configuration changes, new features or enhancements to existing features, although bear the following points in mind before making a feature/enhancement request: 1) If the request is specific to a Wikimedia wiki, please discuss the issue on that wiki first. 2) Consider whether a custom extension would be more appropriate. [14:27:47] OK [14:28:09] The enhacment rleates to the File:namespace [14:28:27] <^demon> Yeah, file it under MediaWiki under Images/Files or something [14:28:36] Currently , {{information}} has to be added manually [14:29:08] If what the ({{information}} template does was implmented as part of the way the namespace works it would be automaticly added [14:29:44] and could be generated at upload, based on uploader supplied values [14:30:18] Another enhanchment would be to have some internal flagging system for files so that they could be flagged up for missing information automatically [14:30:31] rather than having to have massacre tagging of Talk pages [14:31:05] massacre tagging? [14:31:16] <^demon> Try to keep one enhancement per bug though. It gets confusing when someone puts 5 different ideas into one bug. [14:31:28] <^demon> It would [14:31:28] dmb_: Mass sweeps for No source, No license, No details [14:31:42] <^demon> s/It would// [14:31:48] I see [14:32:02] Currently a lot of these sweeps are done by bots [14:32:20] check [14:32:21] I fell it could be done better as an internal function inside the MediaWiki software [14:32:30] right [14:33:26] if some kind of Compliance flag word where used for File: namespace pages then that compliance flage word could also be used to inform users about images that were not [14:33:28] compliant [14:33:49] 03(mod) variant links are invisible - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19495 (10xu.jimmy.wrk) [14:33:53] At the very least such a Compliance flag word would need to have : [14:33:58] - Source present [14:34:05] - License Present [14:34:12] - Free licence [14:34:17] - Rationale Present [14:34:22] - Author known [14:34:29] - Date of work known [14:34:55] All of which would be simple check-boxes [14:35:12] in a user interface [14:36:57] QCoder00: but I don't care about that stuff on my wiki [14:37:08] dmb_: true [14:37:24] <^demon> Good use of an extension. [14:37:28] <^demon> Like FlaggedRevs [14:37:29] QCoder00: see SMW [14:37:43] ^demon: is that the 'versioning' system?

[14:38:06] QCoder00: go for it [14:38:06] <^demon> Yeah, it's been on de. [14:38:28] is it the 'big one' that was getting talked about? [14:38:41] i.e. anon edits don't show up until they get 'flagged'? [14:38:41] I can't code this myself but would like to propose a better soloution to image managment compared to massacre tagging and malfunctioning bots [14:38:53] QCoder00: right [14:39:03] you need to talk to WP devs... [14:39:14] not sure if that is in here or not [14:39:17] QCoder00: bad idea on many levels for it to inculded in core [14:39:28] Why? [14:39:31] QCoder00: it would be an extension [14:39:45] but that is no problem [14:40:01] Image managment is a pain [14:40:05] on Wikipedia [14:40:15] part from not everyone wants it, its a template you would have to inculde, doesn't really archive anything, you can already preload templates in the edit feilds [14:40:38] having some degree of automatic compliance checking in MediaWiki would help eleminate some problems [14:40:40] QCoder00: just because something is a pain on wikipedia doesn't mean it is on all sites that use mediawiki [14:40:59] Point taken [14:41:05] p858snake: but its reasonable to code a fix [14:41:06] <^demon> It would be an extension, for sure. [14:41:16] and having that in mediawiki would make it no way automatic, it would be the same as any other article text [14:41:34] <^demon> I for one don't have time to do it though. :\ [14:41:42] p858snake: To work it would need all Images to have 'Compliance' flagword [14:41:47] which could be configured [14:41:52] *dmb_ wonders how much of the crazy stuff that goes on in WP could use code ... [14:42:13] <^demon> dmb_: I propose replacing editors with code. [14:42:18] check [14:42:32] i second ^demon's motion. [14:42:47] ^demon: I propose replacing articles with Wolfram beta [14:42:47] <^demon> I'd also like to replace most bug reporters with code. [14:43:01] got testing suite? [14:43:20] One aspect of this that I'd really like to see is some automatic notifcation of image problems that users a seperate talk page [14:43:29] <^demon> dmb_: Eh, it works to some extent. [14:43:44] ;-) [14:43:47] So that you get a notifcation about image issues, seperatly from other 'content' message on a talk page [14:44:19] and the information template on en.wiki isn't even required, its just a nice way that most people have adopted to use [14:44:25] <^demon> QCoder00: It's certainly doable. Wouldn't be terribly hard either. [14:45:20] The extension I am disscussing here would need something like {{infromation}} [14:45:30] *{{information}} [14:45:42] because that's how it determines if certain fields are missing [14:46:00] <^demon> It would probably be implemented more in PHP and less in the template, but the idea itself is solid. [14:46:42] Licence checking would be against a known list [14:46:59] (Say for example a specfic set of templates listed in a Category:) [14:48:08] Because the check would be made each time the image is accessed or saved, the flag would be updated semi-automatically [14:49:03] you would never get away with every access, espically on somewhere like en.wiki, brion would simply kill you for that [14:49:15] Well on every save then [14:49:24] <^demon> Which is why it wouldn't be based on templates/categories, it would need its own tracking table. [14:49:25] which is when the flag is most likley to change [14:49:30] <^demon> And you can cache the status until page update. [14:49:46] QCoder00: what about all the bot maintainers? You think they want to be out of a job? [14:50:19] if your 12 an live in the middle of america, there isn't much to do... [14:50:30] The aim of this is to move functionality currently done by bots into an extension , so that the system works smarter [14:50:54] I know [14:51:10] meaning that people can concentrate on the serious things like finding actual copyvio's than trival lack of licence issues [14:51:16] you just have to think about who to discuss it with [14:51:49] QCoder00: file your feature request, then get a bunch of editors to endorse the idea somehow [14:52:05] that way you are more likely to attract a dev [14:52:27] Anyway, The User Upload manager would essentialy be a tabular display which shows a series of tick/crosses against images for various compliance flags [14:53:03] Any with crosses would show up in a highlighted manner. [14:53:38] 03(mod) variant links are invisible - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19495 (10liangent) [14:54:06] When saving an udpated page to the Image:namespace - The Compliance flags would be checked against the updated page, the compliance database updated and if any problems found [14:54:17] <^demon> Probably wouldn't be worth attempting until at least the new-upload branch is merged. Any work on Special:Upload right now is pretty much a waste of time. [14:54:18] uploaders informed by a notfication when they log in.. [14:54:37] ^demon: Whats changing on Special:Upload right now? [14:55:05] and if it did notify them, they would just fake the info like they do now so nonfree images get though... [14:55:07] <^demon> The backend to it is being rewritten. [14:57:31] p858snake: This isn't intended to solve that issue [14:58:01] It's intended to solve the issue of 'missing' source/licences... rather than incorrect ones [14:58:51] If an uploader has to 'lie' about an image, that at least gives admins more clout to banninate them [14:59:15] incorrect licences would make it even worse because you would need to check every file where as you can easilish find files without the tags [15:00:30] Hmm [15:00:47] Maybe my compliance flags also need a way for an admin to say , hang on this is a wrong un? [15:01:06] So that rather than a templated tag, all you do is click a check box and the system does the rest? [15:01:12] so, I can query the pages in the cat (would have been quicker to copy and paste a list but...), can anyone help with grabbing a field of the template in that page? [15:01:29] QCoder00: some idea of 'licence checked' should be impl [15:01:49] dmb_: which is why I suggest talking to the ppl who do this using bots already [15:01:57] (Granted some tools like Twinkle can to an extent do point and click managment) [15:02:28] 03(mod) Image cascading protection issues - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18483 (10shubinator1) [15:02:29] But at present things get done to tlak pages where some more centralised per-user Upload manager would seem to be better [15:02:43] People ignore talk pages [15:02:51] dmb_: well flagged revs in a way can be used for licence checking because once its checked, you can just flagg the page [15:02:59] right [15:03:11] They would be less inclinced to ignore a large RED banner which refuses to go away until you fix the issue [15:04:19] I.E " Image: Which you updated has no licence, Wikipedia cannot use your image without this information!" on every page you vist might make you take notice? [15:04:30] which would mean they would just fake the information, therefore making it worse [15:04:52] p858snake: he's suggesting you need to go find a guru to sign off on your imges [15:05:00] People will fake information regardless [15:05:03] QCoder00: why not do that for every page too? [15:05:06] dmb_: I'm not actually [15:05:12] oh, sorry [15:05:22] Flagged Images would be unworkable [15:05:23] dmb_: not with a big red banner he aint [15:05:28] and VERY anti-wiki [15:05:35] every page!!! [15:05:57] delete everyting so far and lets start again... PROPERLY THIS TIEM! [15:06:16] *dmb_ gets distracted easily -- sorry dudes [15:06:27] <^demon> dmb_: I've been saying that for 4 years. [15:06:29] The intention is that the 'Image Problem notifcation' works like the New Talk page messages notifcation, but with slightly more emphasis [15:07:06] So that you get the notifcation as an alert when you log in rather than as a talk page message [15:07:35] Talk pages needed to be split so that File namespace issues can be recorded seperatly from other content issues [15:07:55] That's a config issue though more than a software coding one [15:07:56] <^demon> What we really need is a clean way in core to deliver UI messages like that. *sigh* [15:08:18] QCoder00: I see [15:08:41] does the api even do template parameters specifically? [15:08:50] I'm sure I saw something about that [15:08:55] sort of [15:08:55] Ideally , one soloution would be for people to have two talk pages per user account [15:09:09] MrZ-man: which page? [15:09:10] one for non File issues and the other for the File issues [15:09:28] That as a temporary measure would fit into existing bot usage [15:09:42] (although you'd need to change the bots to use the modified namespaces) [15:10:19] I.E All the messages about File problems go to Uploads Talk : [15:10:22] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=expandtemplates&text={{Foo|Bar=Baz}}&generatexml&format=txtfm [15:11:02] Returns preprocessed wikitext (comments stripped, templates expanded, etc.) [15:11:41] QCoder00: then people would want a NS for every issue which would cause even more mis-management [15:11:58] Good point [15:12:11] Different thought [15:12:13] MrZ-man: The prsetree looks like what I want [15:12:33] could some kind of priority be used to modify the New messages notifcation? [15:13:01] <^demon> Heh. Everytime I start to do something with the skin I give up and walk away after like 30 seconds. [15:13:20] I.e A notifcation about a bad image has a "You must fix this NOW!" tone on the New message notifcation rather than , You have mail - read it sometime ? [15:13:22] MrZ-man: looking here:http://www.bioinformatics.org/wiki/Thermodynamics_and_Kinetics_for_the_Biological_Sciences_(Hammes) <- how to get what you just showed? [15:13:44] hrm... I want to write to it too though [15:13:57] <^demon> QCoder00: That would need something like bug 12681 fixed. [15:14:02] i.e. find and replace on all 'title=' text [15:14:04] you'd have to use 2 queries, one to get the text first [15:14:09] <^demon> What we need is like a generic injectBanner() method in OutputPage or something. [15:14:18] MrZ-man: and one to write it back? [15:14:33] well, 3 then [15:14:53] ahhh [15:14:54] get the text, get the parse tree, write it back [15:15:02] right [15:15:23] wait, no, you can get the text and the parse tree together [15:15:24] I'd rater just use perl if MW won't give me the pointer [15:15:55] I'm surprised mediawiki::api dosn't have some convenience things for this [15:16:06] but nothing jumps out [15:16:49] http://www.bioinformatics.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Thermodynamics%20and%20Kinetics%20for%20the%20Biological%20Sciences%20%28Hammes%29&rvprop=content&rvgeneratexml&format=txtfm [15:19:11] MrZ-man: where is rvgeneratexml documented? [15:21:55] besides in http://www.bioinformatics.org/w/api.php it doesn't look like it is [15:22:12] ty [15:22:35] I guess that explains why it isn't used in the perl module [15:22:54] I just assumed I'd be able to get and set template parameters easily [15:23:16] $page-template->parameter() [15:23:25] nm [15:23:48] 03demon * r52765 10/trunk/phase3/includes/DefaultSettings.php: (bug 17711) say each member of $wgSpamRegex still needs to be wrapped in slash marks [15:24:09] 03(FIXED) say each member of $wgSpamRegex still needs to be wrapped in slash marks - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17711 +comment (10innocentkiller) [15:26:16] MrZ-man: thanks for help [15:29:43] <^demon> Op?

[19:36:59] yep. i don't mind. it's for 2 lists of new pages on Main Page which lists latest pages in 2 sections based on their cats [19:37:13] those won't change in the time being listed there.

[19:43:51] Nikerabbit: "there is no development today" [19:46:37] so what would my next step be?

[21:52:37] if it could, it'd probably be disabled similar to action=info [22:06:32] 03(NEW) Enable the flood flag on the English Wikinews - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19521 enhancement; Normal; Wikimedia: Site requests; (Juliancolton2) [22:09:37] 03(mod) $wgEnotifWatchlist disabled, but option available on preferences - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19468 (10jidanni) [22:37:41] Yay, vector is site live [22:38:01] switched :d [22:51:34] Ideally , one soloution would be for people to have two talk pages per user account [22:51:34] one for non File issues and the other for the File issues [22:51:47] that's a bit image-centric... a filephile?

[22:59:04] hmm... for navigation and toolbox so maybe all? [22:59:14] p-lang? [22:59:18] ahh [22:59:21] thanks splarka [22:59:29] i widened my sidebar and playing with the layout [22:59:30] thanks [22:59:57] 03(mod) Special:UserRights not allowing Flood flag if user in not capitalised - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19519 +comment (10djsasso) [23:00:05] under p-lang = position: relative; change it to postion:center ? [23:00:17] luna6: er no [23:00:24] I was asking if you ALSO wanted p-lang centered? [23:00:34] p-lang is not the magic solution [23:00:48] ahh hmm i'm not sure what the p-lang is for? [23:00:58] "in other languages" [23:01:05] you really really shouldn't edit core files so much ^_^ [23:01:09] here is the thing [23:01:11] i dont think its nessecary we are usually english only [23:01:22] you won't find the solution in main.css because in html, text is aligned to the left by default [23:01:36] (in ltr anyway) [23:02:08] hmm ok... [23:02:21] sec [23:02:24] i sense a "but" coming :) [23:02:48] 14(WFM) I logged in to zh.wikipedia.org and it says I am $1. - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19454 +comment (10jidanni) [23:02:53] well, the 'but' is obvious [23:03:07] you just have to figure out out, rather than hunt/seek/replace cheat [23:03:40] ok..... [23:05:00] hmm [23:05:22] you want that little dot? [23:05:44] hmm i guess if its centered maybe not? [23:05:45] .generated-sidebar .pBody li, #p-tb .pBody li, #p-lang .pBody li {text-align:center; list-style:none;} [23:06:03] that grabs toolbox, otherlang, and any generated sidebars you will generate in the future [23:06:15] ahh... [23:06:27] and can go right into MediaWiki:Monobook.css [23:06:45] ahh thanks splarka i will try that now [23:10:20] luna6: hmm, there is still the margin on the
      tho [23:10:31] .generated-sidebar .pBody ul, #p-tb .pBody ul, #p-lang .pBody ul {text-align:center; list-style:none; margin-left:0;} [23:10:36] you might wanna try that instead [23:13:52] 03(mod) Special:UserRights not allowing Flood flag if user in not capitalised - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19519 (10scream) [23:18:29] Is there a way to get an xml version of any media wiki page via url ?

Usability wiki? [23:36:21] *Splarka pokles thedj, who seems interested in vectors [23:37:19] The + on talk pages being on the drop down arrow is un-intuitive [23:37:22] and out of the way [23:40:22] damn, there does seem to be a lack of a way in the API to tell if a title is on your watchlist [23:42:39] did you try list=watchlistraw [23:43:59] you can't pass a title to that [23:44:15] some people have watchlists with thousands, or tens of thousands, of entries [23:45:03] 03(NEW) vector skin hooks not documented in hooks.txt - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19522 trivial; Normal; MediaWiki: Vector Skin; (jidanni) [23:48:17] Splarka, i vote to open a bug for Roan :D [23:48:32] sounds like they have too many WL entries then :P [23:50:09] hmm [23:50:33] it would apply to pages, not revisions... so not part of prop=revisions [23:50:40] probably best as an inprop [23:50:48] Yeah.. [23:51:00] We're finally tieing AWB into the stuff we've put together for Api Editing [23:51:14] 'bout time [23:51:18] :P [23:51:21] hmm [23:51:34] Lack of time to do it, most of the code was done [23:51:40] this could also be useful as a parameter in all list= modules, but I have a feeling it'd be cumulatively expensive [23:51:54] and we had it setup to work out if the page was currently watched, to set a button to watch/unwatch as appropriate... [23:52:02] So was after a way to move that accross [23:53:59] We pull action=query&prop=info|revisions&intoken=edit&titles=Main%20Page&rvprop=timestamp|user|comment|content currently.. So if it was in there somewhere without pulling more/an extra query, that'd be nice [23:55:13] *Splarka waves magic Pez [23:55:20] 03(NEW) prop=info&inprop=watched - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19523 enhancement; Normal; MediaWiki: API; (herd) [23:56:00] cheers Splarka :) [23:56:17] mew [23:56:41] Where would i whinge about vector then?
