[03:59:18] sounds impossible, unless it bases the directive to pre-save-transform based on the previous extension-tag state [04:00:03] (er, impossible to not have it do any PST except when an extension tag exists that is... *shrug*) [04:00:18] damn. i was hoping to make this fairly non-expensive. looks like I can't avoid that [04:02:30] I was thinking I could add a flag to the parser when the tag hook is called, then check for the flag's existance when the ArticleSave hook is called, but the flag is missing in the ArticleSave hook [04:03:54] i'm assuming something strange happens to the parser somewhere in between. (it is kind of a dirty hack anyway) [04:11:23] Gah. ArticleSave gets run before the tag does... [04:12:25] yah, which is why I thought it would probably be hard to do that [04:12:55] How does that possibly make any sense? [04:13:14] PST is only run on save, parsing can be done without saving [04:13:45] I'm going to have to add a new hook for this aren't I?

I was wondering if there was anything to be done in the general config to be able to display images in a page? Whatever tags I try [[image:filename.png]] [[file:filename.png]], with or without other arguments, all that I see in the page ils a linke with File:Filename.png that links to the properties page of that file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks [15:01:17] <GreenReaper> Sounds like the image server is out of synch. [15:01:32] <Duesentrieb> may have several reasons [15:01:40] <Duesentrieb> sieg_: can we look at your wiki? [15:01:53] <sieg_> it's in a intranet, unfortunately [15:02:12] <Duesentrieb> sieg_: one reason may be that your wiki doesn't know "file:" - until recently, you *had* to use "image:". [15:02:27] <sieg_> tried it, but didn't change anything [15:02:42] <Duesentrieb> sieg_: the second reason may be that the image isn't known to be an image. are these actual png or jpg images? what is the mime type shown on the image description page? [15:02:52] <Duesentrieb> is the image shown on the descrioption page? [15:03:04] <Duesentrieb> sieg_: also, have you checked the html code that gets generated? [15:03:09] <sieg_> even when I use [[image:]], what appears on the actual page is still File:filename.ext [15:03:11] <Duesentrieb> is an <img> tag generated? [15:03:55] <Duesentrieb> either your mime types are bad, or you are getting <img> tags but no rendered images. so the links is shown. [15:03:59] <sieg_> nope, just a sec [15:04:08] <sieg_> yeah, mime types are really weird [15:04:24] <Duesentrieb> what do they say? [15:04:28] <sieg_> the file displays fine on it's own in any browser, image viewer, etc [15:04:36] <Duesentrieb> that's not the point [15:04:48] <Duesentrieb> mediawiki will refuse to display anything not known to be an image [15:04:57] <Duesentrieb> so, what *is* the mime type? [15:05:16] <Duesentrieb> actually, if that is odd, it should refuse the upload. unless you disabled that check. [15:05:30] <sieg_> <a href="/wiki/index.php/File:Radialpoint-logo.gif" title="File:Radialpoint-logo.gif">File:Radialpoint-logo.gif</a> [15:05:34] <sieg_> that's the resultant [15:05:39] <sieg_> in html [15:05:48] <Duesentrieb> ok. so... what *is* the mime type? [15:06:16] <sieg_> (file size: 926 B, MIME type: image/gif�����������������������������) [15:06:25] <Duesentrieb> o_O [15:06:28] <Duesentrieb> ick.

[15:07:36] <sieg_> any idea what could cause that? I just see it in mime type [15:07:41] <Duesentrieb> to me it sounds like your image table is scrwed up. either corrupted, or the definition is wrong. [15:08:04] <sieg_> even when I uploaded a png, a jpeg [15:08:07] <sieg_> same result [15:08:08] <Duesentrieb> database upgrades simetimes do that [15:08:14] <Duesentrieb> going from mysql 4 to 5, for example [15:08:17] <sieg_> new install [15:08:25] <Duesentrieb> i would try to drop the taböe and re-create it [15:08:29] <Duesentrieb> you lose all images, of course [15:08:36] <Duesentrieb> odd. very odd.

[18:30:50] <faceface> its a one line edit to bork them [18:30:51] <Sonja> no, but i know somebody who can. i'll get their help [18:30:55] <RoanKattouw> Empty the MediaWiki: message? [18:31:11] <Sonja> i just want a simple list [18:31:17] <Sonja> oki'll talk to my php person [18:31:25] <^demon|meeting> RoanKattouw: HAHAHAHA, yeah, right. [18:35:48] <Sparragus> Hello everyone [18:36:27] <gpled> is their a variable that represents all the articles found in: special page: All pages? [18:42:39] <wikibugs> 03(mod) Garbled text in Wikipedia Mobile - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19972 +comment (10hartman) [18:43:24] <faceface> gpled: yeah... [18:45:14] <faceface> gpled: I use it here: http://pdbwiki.org/index.php/Statistics [18:45:38] <faceface> how do I tar cf but exclude a certain directory (images) [18:46:09] <capdog> hi all. is this a good place to ask a support question? [18:46:27] <faceface> capdog: try? [18:46:30] <faceface> ;-) [18:48:05] <capdog> right! :) I have a mediawiki installation for my personal usage on Media Temple hosting. I opened it up yesterday only to find that there's no content in it. Or at least, it won't display anything. Just the message "There is currently no text in this page" [18:48:17] <capdog> there is still data in the DB. [18:48:57] <capdog> i haven't touched the code or DB myself. If I set the $wgDebugLogFile variable and have a look at the log, it *seems* to be connecting [18:49:27] <capdog> in fact, there are messages stating that it is connecting to the DB [18:50:01] <capdog> also, I can create a user on the wiki, but it is instantly logged off and "forgotten", and i can't log back on with that user [18:50:07] <capdog> it's like mediawiki has lost the DB [18:50:22] <capdog> and I'm pretty sure it's something that has changed on the global level [18:50:27] <faceface> capdog: sounds like a paths problem ... [18:50:31] <faceface> can you point us at the pages? [18:50:45] <capdog> umm, the problem is that it's a personal wiki. ;) [18:50:49] <capdog> so it's on the net [18:50:55] <faceface> ok [18:50:58] <capdog> but it's private content (like passwords, etc) [18:51:13] <faceface> sorry... didn't read that write [18:51:20] <faceface> 'so its not on the web' [18:51:33] <capdog> so where can i look for debug info that would tell me why it can't find anything [18:53:09] <faceface> check the url's and paths carefully, and look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL [18:54:47] <capdog> faceface: thanks. my URL in the browser is /index.php?title=Main_Page [18:55:09] <capdog> and from that, i get the regular looking wiki, the only thing that's missing is the content [18:55:18] <Sonja> Can I put a ===subheader=== inside a table cell? [18:55:26] <faceface> Sonja: no [18:55:33] <faceface> I don't think so anyway [18:55:41] <Sonja> i'm basically doing a two-column layout of a text and its translation [18:55:49] <Sonja> maybe there's an extension to do the format i want [18:56:06] <faceface> Sonja: check the tables syntax manual [18:56:20] <Sonja> technically it shouldnt be a table, but divs with css [18:56:54] <capdog> faceface: hmm... if I go to any URL it seems to not work... /index.php?title=Help:Contents for example, also has no content [18:57:10] <capdog> just "There is currently no text in this page" [18:58:39] <Sparragus> Hey everyone. I have a question. Is there anyway to check is an article was protected in a certain revision using the api? [18:58:46] <Splarka> Sonja: http://p.defau.lt/?jSXBPPvwn_g6MFVTDUnuCg [18:58:57] <Sparragus> When I try this, it gives me information of the latest revision, not the one I want: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&inprop=protection&revids=300868712&format=xml [18:59:23] <Sonja> Splarka isnt that just a regular table? [18:59:49] <gpled> to make a user admin, i need to do it in mysql from console? [19:00:13] <Splarka> Sonja: yes, but you can put headers in it, and you can put headers in css divs [19:00:17] <wikibugs> 14(INVALID) Add support for more languages to mobile Wikipedia gateway - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16693 +comment (10innocentkiller) [19:00:21] <RoanKattouw> Sparragus: No, that data is not kept [19:00:59] <capdog> argh giving up [19:01:01] <capdog> thanks anyway [19:01:15] <wikibugs> 03(mod) Add support for more languages to mobile Wikipedia gateway - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16693 (10innocentkiller) [19:02:06] <Sparragus> thanks RoanKattouw.

[19:03:12] <Sonja> is there a way to add numbers to my ===subheaders=== or do i number them myself ===1. First topic=== and ===2. Something else to discuss=== + [19:03:37] <Splarka> well, using the timestamps, and "action" [19:03:51] <RoanKattouw> Sonja: People can enable numbering in their preferences [19:03:55] <Splarka> though you would need to parse the comment for full data, yah [19:03:58] <RoanKattouw> And you can enable it by default if you want [19:04:25] <faceface> how to tar up the wiki but --exclude the images directory? [19:04:34] <faceface> --exclude "mediawiki-1.14.0/images/" isn't working! [19:04:57] <Sonja> RoanKattouw cool. can i enable it just for certain subheaders on certain pages, and not others? [19:05:00] <Sparragus> oh! nice! I didnt know about the protect/unprotect action [19:05:05] <Sparragus> Thanks Splarka [19:05:13] <Sonja> RoanKattouw maybe there's a code i can use for that [19:05:13] <faceface> seeing "mediawiki-1.14.0/images/1/19/1xma.1.jpg" in the tar [19:05:14] <RoanKattouw> Sonja: No, it's per-user, not per-page [19:05:23] <Sonja> ohh it's a display preference type thing [19:05:26] <Sonja> it's not per-content ok [19:05:27] <Sonja> thanks [19:05:33] <^demon|meeting> hcatlin: Sent you a very minor pull request, when you get to it. [19:05:34] <Splarka> Sparragus: also be aware of the expiry dates [19:06:36] <faceface> faceface: use a * somewhere in your pattern! [19:09:15] <Sparragus> Splarka: Yeah. I wish I could get that info as well. Thanks anyways. [19:09:54] <Sparragus> Splarka: well, its available for some. I think i could be only for the most recent one. [19:10:28] <Splarka> Sparragus: it is available in the comment wherever it is used [19:10:49] <Splarka> if an expiry is missing it either wasn't used, or wasn't available to be used [19:10:59] <Splarka> (meaning infinite/indefinite) [19:11:22] <Sparragus> Hmmm, I see. [19:12:00] <Splarka> so, checking action="", [edit=~,move=~], and (expires ~), you can, in theory, make a correct timeline of protection [19:14:51] <Sparragus> nice. Thanks Splarka [19:15:39] <wikibugs> 03(NEW) Make the URL bar hidden in Wikipedia Mobile - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19977 enhancement; Normal; Wikipedia Mobile: server; (malrase) [19:16:38] <faceface> awesome ... update successfull! [19:17:24] <faceface> thanks for help [19:41:06] <Alphos> just checking, about the API, tokens are needed only to edit right ? [19:41:51] <Alphos> so, a bot that doesn't send his token when requesting a list or something still will have his limits 10 times higher than the usual ?* [19:42:31] <ialex> Alphos: yes [19:42:36] <Alphos> ok :) [19:42:39] <Splarka> well [19:42:43] <MrZ-man> you only need a token to edit, but you do have to pass the cookies to get the higher limit [19:42:45] <Splarka> tokens are needed for most actions [19:42:54] <Alphos> yeah, this i know MrZ-man [19:42:57] <ialex> for write requests [19:42:58] <Splarka> session cookies are needed for restricted actions, and for higher limits [19:43:17] <Alphos> that's what i figured :) [19:43:31] <Splarka> you do not need session cookies for all actions, like anonymous editing [19:43:52] <Alphos> is possible to anonymously edit through the API on WMF wikis ? :o [19:43:55] <Splarka> (action = write action) [19:43:58] <Splarka> sure [19:43:59] <Alphos> *it's [19:44:02] <Alphos> :o [19:44:08] <Splarka> the edit token is "+/" or something [19:44:21] <RoanKattouw> +\ [19:44:26] <Alphos> i thought edit rights were limited to registered users there :x [19:44:44] <Alphos> i didn't mean on mediawiki, but on WMF wikis [19:45:04] <Alphos> (anyway, i'll just create an account for my bot, why bother ? :p ) [19:45:08] <Splarka> ahh, might be restricted there yah [19:45:56] *Alphos crrrraaaaaaaves for a smoke >_> [19:46:11] <Splarka> but you can easily give it to anonfaces: [19:46:12] <Splarka> $wgGroupPermissions['*']['writeapi'] = true; [19:46:34] <wikibugs> 03(NEW) LiquidThreads should update with update.php like everything else. - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19978 enhancement; Normal; MediaWiki extensions: LiquidThreads; (agarrett) [19:47:05] <Alphos> yeah, i knew that [19:47:17] <Alphos> but it doesn't apply for WMF wikis ^^' [19:47:22] <Nikerabbit> who is parul? :o [19:47:32] <Splarka> hmm, actually I don't see why it shouldn't [19:47:35] <RoanKattouw> Nikerabbit: parutron in #wikipedia_usability [19:47:37] <werdna> Parul Vora is our user interface lady [19:48:06] <Nach> Is there a way to generate a static version of an entire wiki to put on a site which lacks PHP? [19:48:17] <Nikerabbit> html dumps [19:48:31] <Nach> how do I create an HTML dump? [19:48:49] <GreenReaper> A tool like http://www.httrack.com/ [19:49:32] <GreenReaper> I suggest configuring the dump carefully so that you do not get more pages than you intend, particularly the dynamically-created editing ones. [19:50:03] <MrZ-man> !e dumpHTML [19:50:03] --mwbot-- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:dumpHTML [19:50:04] <GreenReaper> For sites which have a "short name" like /wiki/Article then it's fairly easy, you just exclude /w/ URLs. [19:50:44] <GreenReaper> That should work, too. Though "release status unknown" worries me. :-) [19:52:35] <wikibugs> 03(FIXED) Subpages, logo, and default skin for Strategy Wiki - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19962 +comment (10eekim) [19:53:53] <Alphos> oh, while i'm at it, how long are the cookies kept ?

[20:36:34] *Splarka twitch? [20:37:43] <Splarka> rar RoanKattouw [20:37:50] *shortcircuit shakes his head sadly. [20:38:16] <RoanKattouw> Splarka: Would it be considered a big compat breaker if the JSON format of list=search changed from [ .. ] to { .. } ? [20:38:37] <shortcircuit> Yahoo Slurp is not paying attention to my robots.txt file. [20:38:59] <shortcircuit> At first it was ignoring the Craw-delay directive, now it's "only" ignoring the Disallows. [20:39:17] *Splarka checks what list=search outputs [20:39:56] <Splarka> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=foobar&format=jsonfm [20:40:09] <Splarka> what are you planning? [20:40:31] <RoanKattouw> To change <search> data here </search> to <search count="123"> data here </search> [20:40:47] <Splarka> ahh, hmm [20:40:53] <RoanKattouw> Which in JSON means changing "search": [ ... ] to "search": { "count": 123, "0": data ... } [20:41:06] <RoanKattouw> Which is probably the most ugly output ever invented by man [20:41:18] <Splarka> there is some weird mapping between xml and json, heh [20:41:32] <RoanKattouw> Cleaner would be to do "search": { "count": 123, "results": [ ... ] } but that breaks compat in all formats for sure [20:41:36] <Splarka> well, lesse... [20:41:50] <Splarka> depends how they iterate I guess [20:42:25] <Splarka> right now foo.query.search is an array of objects... foo.query.search[0] is an object with foo.query.search[0].ns and foo.query.search[0].title .. [20:42:53] <RoanKattouw> The latter wouldn't change [20:42:56] <RoanKattouw> The former would [20:42:57] <Splarka> and would still be if you used "search": { "count": 123, 0: data ... } I think.. [20:43:05] <RoanKattouw> Exactly [20:43:11] <Splarka> but I don't think "0" would be back compat, no [20:43:24] <Splarka> also a for() using .length would probably screw up [20:43:24] <RoanKattouw> s/"0"/0 , my mistake [20:43:36] <Splarka> lemme test it real quick [20:43:43] <RoanKattouw> Yeah it'd probably index one too far [20:44:15] <RoanKattouw> But for ( index in object ) works even if object is really an array, right? [20:44:43] <Splarka> well [20:45:01] <Splarka> you /only/ want to use for(in) for an object, not for an array [20:45:09] <Splarka> bad things happen if you use it on an array [20:45:32] <Splarka> jquery and scriptalicious sometimes add dummy properties to arrays which massively break in some browsers [20:45:49] <Splarka> so if you must use for(in) you need lots of typeof and redundant if() checking [20:46:05] <RoanKattouw> What could go wrong? [20:46:18] <Splarka> script stops, with error, heh [20:46:24] <RoanKattouw> Why? [20:47:01] <Splarka> var foo = ['bar','baz']... and then for(var i in foo) vs for(var i=0;i<foo.length;i++) [20:47:24] <Splarka> in some browsers, the former will find extra shit [20:47:31] <Splarka> as will almost all browsers if scriptalicious is around [20:47:40] <Splarka> so if you assume foo[i] is a string, shit breaks [20:48:00] <Splarka> because it won't always be [20:48:06] <Splarka> anyway, this is a sidetrack [20:48:13] <RoanKattouw> OK [20:48:34] <RoanKattouw> Back to my original question: are people gonna yell at me if I make the change I suggested? [20:48:37] <Splarka> the correct method for {} is for(in), and [] is for(var;<;++) [20:48:46] <Splarka> hang on, lemme test ^_^ [20:49:00] *Splarka pokles roan for distracty questions [20:50:00] <Alphos> still about the API... [20:50:14] <Alphos> what format is displayed by ?action=login ^^ [20:50:16] <RoanKattouw> Alphos: Ask ahead, I'm the API maintainer [20:50:36] <Alphos> is it xmlfm by default, just like other pages ? [20:50:44] <RoanKattouw> Yes [20:50:49] <Alphos> or is it something "useful" ? [20:50:50] <Alphos> ok [20:50:51] <RoanKattouw> Whatever you specify in &format= [20:51:05] <Alphos> just what i was about to ask ^^ [20:51:08] <Alphos> thanks :) [20:53:07] <Splarka> hmm [20:54:12] <Splarka> roan: http://p.defau.lt/?IFnjgVlFFTS4Tb3r5_33qA ignoring bad formatting, is this a correct (new) result? [20:54:25] <Splarka> well, count=3 [20:54:31] <RoanKattouw> Yes [20:54:40] <Splarka> k, simple iteration will break [20:54:40] <RoanKattouw> Not necessarily count=3 if you set srlimit=3 [20:54:52] *^demon uses format=phpfm because he's that hardcore ;) [20:55:07] <Splarka> foo.query.search.length will be undefined for that object [20:55:12] *Splarka tests for(in) [20:55:53] <Splarka> for(in) works but of course you have to special case "count" [20:56:16] <RoanKattouw> Does it blow up if you don't [20:56:16] <Splarka> typeof, if(...[i].title) , etc [20:56:20] <Splarka> yeah [20:56:23] <Splarka> well, sorta [20:56:24] <RoanKattouw> Right [20:56:30] <RoanKattouw> So it's a breaking change for JSON at leats [20:56:33] *Splarka checks if he uses list=search anywhere [20:56:51] <Splarka> hmm, I don't... [20:57:21] <Splarka> Roan: I guess a non-breaking change would be very very ugly eh? [20:57:29] <RoanKattouw> Yes [20:57:34] <RoanKattouw> It'd be this: [20:57:51] <RoanKattouw> 'query': { 'search': [ ... ], 'searchinfo': { 'count': 123, other data... } } [20:57:54] <Splarka> "searchresults": 123, "search": [] [20:57:57] <Splarka> heh [20:57:58] <Splarka> yah [20:58:14] <RoanKattouw> Which relies on the fact that nobody ever creates a module called 'searchinfo' [20:58:16] <RoanKattouw> Ugly [20:58:24] <Splarka> hmm [20:58:52] <Splarka> and I guess people are too lazy to count <search> children [20:59:02] *Splarka does a quick search on en.wp [20:59:12] <RoanKattouw> No, they're not [20:59:19] <RoanKattouw> It's the *total* number of results [20:59:41] <Alphos> btw, RoanKattouw, i was suggesting something earlier, the possibility to use pageid instead of title when sending an edit request [20:59:41] <Splarka> oh, right [21:00:01] <RoanKattouw> Alphos: Good one; please file a bug on Bugzilla for that [21:00:06] <Alphos> ok :) [21:00:08] <Splarka> Alphos: delete and move already suppor that, but mostly because if you have a bad title you can't reference it by title [21:00:12] <Splarka> er support [21:00:19] <Splarka> there is no reason to edit something with a bad title tho, is there? [21:00:33] <Splarka> unless you want obfuscation, heh [21:00:33] <Alphos> charset ? [21:01:07] <Alphos> honestly, i'm not entirely sure my utf-8 bots are safe with vietnamese pagetitles [21:01:10] <Splarka> well, like say you turn wgCapitalLinks on, create a lowercase page, and turn it off, you have a page then you can't access, but will show up in things like LonelyPages [21:01:17] <Splarka> ahh, well [21:01:28] <Splarka> urlencode should be fine, but pageid might be good to reduce bandwidth [21:01:37] <Splarka> oh crap, what am I, channeling GreenReaper [21:01:40] <Alphos> yeah, that too... [21:01:41] *Splarka dunks head in vinegar [21:01:45] <Alphos> XD [21:02:18] <Splarka> Roan: I guess just make the change, I can't think of any good way to be back-compat tho [21:02:20] <Alphos> besides, i'm getting a bot to work on RCs right now [21:02:36] <Alphos> and store page title is much less easier than storing pageid [21:02:38] <Splarka> but script writers can do a "typeof foo.query.search" for forward compat [21:03:05] <Splarka> thedj: please take note, list=search typeof change, does popups use it? [21:03:15] <Alphos> (i guess i'll finish the bot before i file anything on bugzilla though, i'd rather do that right now) [21:03:31] <Splarka> Alphos: hmm.. well you can always get the pageid with the edit token [21:03:49] <Alphos> you can get it without edit token [21:03:53] <Splarka> so if you store the id, before every edi do a http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&intoken=edit&titles=Foobar [21:04:06] <Splarka> Alphos: no, I mean, when you get the token, you get the ID/name [21:04:12] <Alphos> ah [21:04:16] <Splarka> and you really should get the token before every edit [21:04:21] <Alphos> but i get the token once and for all actually [21:04:23] <Splarka> or at least write the bot with the cabability to [21:04:25] <Splarka> heh [21:04:31] <Splarka> well, tokens are not guaranteed to be static [21:04:32] <Alphos> (at least if this possibility didn't change) [21:04:33] <Splarka> even though they are [21:04:39] <Alphos> �_� [21:04:46] <Splarka> it's a fact! [21:04:50] <Alphos> aren't they kept similarly to cookies ? [21:05:14] <RoanKattouw> They are static, yes, but we don't advertise it very openly [21:05:24] <Splarka> well, currently yes, but that may change in the future if they get abused somehow, or if a dev wants to be a dick, or if per-edit sessions become a fun feature, or some shit [21:05:27] <RoanKattouw> It might possibly change some day in the distant future [21:05:33] <RoanKattouw> i.e. probably never [21:05:38] <Alphos> well, it's in plain sight on [[mw:API]] :s [21:05:38] <Splarka> also things like rollbacks, preferences, userrights use unique tokens [21:05:52] <Alphos> yeah, that i know [21:06:23] <Alphos> but my bot won't request BU status, won't change his preferences, and won't per se invoke rollback :p [21:06:30] <Alphos> so, i don't really care :p [21:06:33] *Alphos flees :p [21:06:41] <Splarka> well [21:06:59] <Splarka> you should at least write a fallback, like if the token fails, fetch one, or if the token fails, abort and wait for master [21:07:04] <Splarka> heh [21:07:07] <Alphos> already did :p [21:07:23] <Splarka> I wonder if the staticisity of a token could be exposed somehow [21:07:49] <Alphos> it'll be fun, getting two daemons and one seldomly included php script to work together :D [21:07:52] <Splarka> ~token="+\" ~tokenunique="" [21:08:43] <Alphos> of all that, i'm afraid the only thing i've learned to do well are probably includes :p [21:08:54] <Alphos> it'll reaaaally be fun :D [21:09:23] <Alphos> (don't worry, i've added loads of security to avoid excessive activity ^^' ) [21:15:15] *brion nudges CIA-69 [21:15:41] *^demon kicks CIA-69 [21:15:42] <CIA-69> ow [21:15:52] *werdna stabs CIA-69 [21:15:57] *werdna eats CIA-69 [21:15:58] *CIA-69 tastes crunchy [21:16:35] <Splarka> yknow, when the number = 69 that one should eat you back [21:16:54] <werdna> o_O [21:17:46] *MrZ-man rubs CIA-69's tummy [21:17:46] <CIA-69> *purr* [21:19:47] *^demon throws a rock at CIA-69 [21:20:57] <Alphos> is a pageid altered if the page is moved ? my guess would be "no", but...

[21:26:18] <Alphos> (the content of the new page being #REDIRECT[[new title]] ) [21:27:13] <RoanKattouw> Yes, that's exactly what happens when moving pages [21:27:59] <Alphos> \o/ KITTEH UNDERSTOODZ MEDIAWIKI [21:28:01] <Alphos> :p [21:28:56] <Alphos> kitteh killedz Roan :x [21:29:59] <Matt____> hello room [21:30:54] <Spedia> quick question regarding SEO [21:32:57] <Spedia> I've heard search engines don't like the transfer of articles via the export/import function, because it repeats the same content/data [21:33:12] <Spedia> Would love to know what's your opinion on this?

I go to the station with a ticket bought in advance, I get on a train, which operates with decent frequency, and it takes me where I want to go. [22:03:43] <Splarka> maybe they wouldn't suck if people did use them [22:03:46] <werdna> RoanKattouw: Similar I think. [22:03:51] <werdna> Splarka: yeah :) [22:03:54] <RoanKattouw> Ah yes [22:04:01] <RoanKattouw> Yes, that's pretty much how our train system works [22:04:05] <Splarka> the problem is parking, too much parking available in the US and AU [22:04:11] <RoanKattouw> Except that I don't buy a ticket because students get free train travel [22:05:04] <werdna> although the First Capital Connect site seems to suck [22:05:14] <RoanKattouw> What's that?

[22:30:30] <Splarka> I mean go to Special:Blankpage and view-source [22:30:30] <Simetrical> FF|Skyrider, if you just want to make it not appear, try #p-logo { display: none; } in MediaWiki:Common.css. You might need to adjust the margin on the thing below it. [22:30:49] <Simetrical> Oh, this is some custom skin? Who knows, then.

[22:33:52] <Splarka> or higher specificity [22:34:01] <Splarka> or your skin doesn't load Common.css [22:34:09] <Splarka> which it doesn't, heh [22:34:12] <FF|Skyrider> heh.

[22:57:05] <Simetrical> RoanKattouw, I'm a graduate student, or about to become one. [22:57:09] <Simetrical> So, I take courses. [22:57:13] <Simetrical> And will eventually work on a thesis. [22:57:23] <RoanKattouw> And how does that make you money? [22:57:25] <Simetrical> Also I can grade/teach/etc. for some extra money, if I want, eventually. [22:57:29] <Simetrical> Because I have a fellowship. [22:57:35] <werdna> of the ring? [22:57:45] <Simetrical> No, a McCracken fellowship, I'm afraid. [22:57:59] <Simetrical> You don't normally get into Ph.D. programs in the sciences in America without a fellowship that pays your tuition plus enough money to live off of. [22:58:12] <Simetrical> It's about $24,000 for nine months in my case, plus whatever I can get from summer programs. [22:58:21] <Simetrical> Which is just fine since I'm still living at home. :D [22:58:21] <werdna> what are you going to do when you run out of education? [22:58:39] <Simetrical> Hey, dude, I can always get Ph.D.s in physics and computer science. [22:58:41] <Simetrical> (just kidding) [22:58:44] *^demon needs to finish his BS. [22:58:51] <Simetrical> I'm going to get a job. [22:58:55] <RoanKattouw> Simetrical: So you're working on a PhD right now? Or still on BSc/MSc? [22:58:58] <Simetrical> Well, most likely postdocs first. [22:59:05] <RoanKattouw> Right [22:59:07] <Simetrical> RoanKattouw, I'll start the Ph.D. program this fall. In, like, a month. [22:59:22] <Simetrical> Anyway, if I can't get a professorship somewhere I'll probably become a programmer. Whatever. [22:59:34] *Spedia wants crepes [22:59:40] <henna> RoanKattouw: just remember US phd program is fairly different from the European ones I know [22:59:45] <RoanKattouw> I know [22:59:47] <Simetrical> I'd like to get a Ph.D. anyway, just so I can say "Oh, well, I have a Ph.D. in mathematics from NYU." [22:59:47] <henna> you need to take actual courses for them :) [22:59:50] <RoanKattouw> Especially in terms of funding [22:59:53] <Splarka> get a PhD in: http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=709330&in_page_id=34 [23:00:10] <Simetrical> You only have to take courses until you pass your oral examinations, as far as I can tell. [23:00:26] <henna> in .be you'd ussually be funded by teaching or a grant or a fellowship as well for a phd [23:00:33] <FF|Skyrider> And does anyone knows a good extension that has a "per page side menu"? [23:00:42] <henna> Simetrical: do you go straight from bachelor to phd or do you have to go via a masters degree?

Usually you'd go straight to a Ph.D., a master's is unnecessary. But you can get a master's first if you want. [23:01:27] <Simetrical> Once I pass my written examinations, I believe I can drop out of the program with a master's if I like. [23:01:32] <henna> Simetrical: we have to go through a masters [23:01:36] <Simetrical> werdna, are you going to ever do the enwiki main page? It seems like far too much effort for me to undergo RFA for it. [23:01:50] <werdna> you always tell me at like midnight [23:01:52] <Simetrical> henna, you usually get the master's at the same time as the Ph.D. here. [23:01:58] <Simetrical> werdna, well, you're always on at like midnight. [23:02:08] <werdna> Simetrical: I'm always on from like 8am to midnight [23:02:17] <Simetrical> Yes, but times when normal people aren't on don't count. [23:02:19] <werdna> fucking timezones :) [23:02:22] <Simetrical> (normal people being, of course, me) [23:02:27] <werdna> "normal people" = Americans? [23:02:35] <Simetrical> No, me specifically. [23:02:46] <Simetrical> If I happen to be in Israel, then UTC+2 is normal at that point. [23:02:48] <^demon> Simetrical: What needs doing to enwiki's main page? [23:02:50] <Simetrical> (or whatever it is) [23:03:02] <Spedia> what's everyone's country? [23:03:05] <Simetrical> ^demon, HTML 5 conformance.

The problem is that i need to make 4 different wikis on the same domain, so i get game.domain.com/topic, but how do i sync the users? [23:08:56] <FF|Skyrider> k, thanks [23:09:33] <FF|Skyrider> I still need a "per page sidemenu" though ^_^ [23:10:41] <^demon> Might be an extension. [23:10:44] <^demon> It's definitely not in core. [23:11:25] <Evet> Amd Athlon64 X2 5600+ + 2gb DDR2 RAM + 800gb HDD = 49 euro monthly [23:11:53] <Saggo> Anyone know how to sync users etc between multiple wikis likie wikia.com [23:12:04] <RoanKattouw> !e CentralAuth | Saggo [23:12:04] --mwbot-- Saggo: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CentralAuth [23:12:07] <Evet> Intel Core i7-920 Quadcore + 8gb DDR3 RAM + 1500gb HDD = 49 euro monthly + 149 euro setup fee [23:12:12] *^demon stabs RoanKattouw [23:12:23] <RoanKattouw> What for? [23:12:23] <^demon> There's easier ways than using CA... [23:12:51] <Evet> Which is better? [23:12:53] <^demon> $wgSharedTables or whatever it is. [23:12:56] <Saggo> Thanks [23:13:15] <^demon> Just share the user table, and you'll be fine. [23:13:52] <Saggo> Okay ill try that extension [23:16:09] <Saggo> Demon: So i can just set $wgSharedTables in the conf file. and thats it? no use of the extension? [23:16:35] <^demon> It's not an extension, it's a config var to allow you to make some tables shared across databases. Read up on the docs. [23:17:00] <FF|Skyrider> ^demon [23:17:03] <Saggo> Ok ty [23:17:07] <FF|Skyrider> There is an extension for it.

[23:47:28] <FF|Skyrider> if it works for the wiki pages, why not the actions?

[23:53:32] <Simetrical> FF|Skyrider, hiding for the actions is usually not done. If you don't hide it for the actions, you can conveniently block robots from anything other than page views. [23:53:38] <Simetrical> ^demon, sure they will if you want. [23:53:44] <Simetrical> You can also use action paths. [23:53:54] <Simetrical> Those are used by the toolserver wiki and . . . no one else in the universe. [23:54:33] <^demon> FF|Skyrider: Listen to Simetrical. I'm tired and don't know what I'm talking about. [23:54:43] <FF|Skyrider> I'm actually quite confused myself :p [23:54:59] <^demon> brion: +13 committers.

[23:57:55] <FF|Skyrider> I dunno what to do :s [23:58:00] <^demon> Simetrical: I'll !vote yes [23:58:10] <Simetrical> Meh, it's probably not worth it. [23:58:16] <Simetrical> ^demon, are you an enwiki sysop? [23:58:27] <FF|Skyrider> Simetrical, can I at least hide /w/ [23:58:27] <FF|Skyrider> ? [23:58:45] <Simetrical> FF|Skyrider, I'm not sure what exactly you're asking at this point. [23:59:09] <FF|Skyrider> I wish to hide specific words/letters/numbers in the action urls [23:59:23] <Simetrical> More specific? [23:59:24] <FF|Skyrider> In this case: /w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit <- I wish to hide /w/ [23:59:35] <FF|Skyrider> So it'll show: index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit [23:59:47] <FF|Skyrider> Better if I can hide the index as well ^_^
