[00:00:41] If you had access you could run maintenance/runJobs.php to do it faster, but I assume you don't have access to that if this is Wikia. [00:01:03] *roberthl would expect Wikia to be running that manually anyway. [00:03:24] action=purge in ns8 should work on messages, but I don't think it works on job queue jobs, it is a "feature" [00:03:42] because the wmf devs don't like idiot users making null edit bots as it is, a purge bot wouldn' [00:03:45] t even need permission [00:04:41] :s [00:08:32] well you could run a purge bot without them even noticing >.> [00:08:51] Do they not keep access logs? [00:11:18] eventually, but not until the community "absolutely relied on it and you said don't worry about performance! [00:11:18] if you did it slowly enough, no one would probably notice, but doing it slowly somewhat defeats the purpose [00:11:30] +" [00:21:34] i saw you all were talking about javascript drag and drop uploading [00:21:43] anyone solve that? :-P [00:22:53] The closest you can get seems to be: [00:22:54] 23:40:38 < jdpond> oops - http://straxus.javadevelopersjournal.com/creating_a_mozillafirefox_drag_and_drop_file_upload_script_p.htm [00:23:21] At least from the discussion here, no one else posted alterantives. [00:31:14] tnx roberthtlsh [00:56:11] Nikerabbit, oh, you're right. With the ESCAPE it matches MySQL. [01:11:11] http://blog.wikidot.com/blog:performance-problems-update Their probably actually sounds the same as Wikimedia's. [01:13:56] Logged-in browsing sucks. [01:14:34] They needed a proper front-end cache. [01:16:04] No, it sounds like they had one, but it's vulnerable to stampeding the same way the Michael Jackson page on enwp was. [01:24:47] GreenReaper: so do you have like a guy at google that tells you whenever anything "furry" spikes a trend? [01:26:02] GreenDisconnecter [01:26:03] I have a few alerts set. [01:26:58] Why do you ask? [01:27:07] did you post to the adult swim forums after Aqua Teen Hunger Force "Hoppy Bunny"? [01:27:21] why do I ask? heh: http://echochamber.me/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=44401 [01:27:30] Oh, that. [01:27:41] Yes, I heard of that very quickly. [01:27:42] within 47 minutes even [01:33:00] wow those guys get worked up over a comic [01:36:33] the furries or xkcd fans? [01:41:01] the forum [01:41:01] *Splarka bites OverlordQ [01:41:03] ahh [01:41:07] they do that every comic [01:41:19] it's a three panel comic, we dont need dissertations [01:43:19] "I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!" [02:02:13] Hmm [02:02:14] http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:File_cache&curid=6322&diff=273540&oldid=270252&rcid=304902 [02:02:39] <^demon> Um that doesn't make sense. [02:03:06] <^demon> All the filecache does is store static copies of pages to serve to anons. [02:04:35] assuming, of course... [02:05:20] you disable the personalized p-personal for anons [02:06:06] <^demon> I think Setup automatically disables that when $wgFileCache is enabled now. [02:07:07] How do I set an image to have a caption, a frame, AND specify the size in pixels?? [02:07:18] if pissable. I mean possable. Possible. [02:07:24] Possumable. [02:07:35] thumb [02:07:47] [[Image:Foo|thumb|100px|your ad here]] [02:08:04] kinda silly [02:08:16] You knew it was an add. Brilliant! What if I want the caption and image to link to an outside link? (Affiliate link) [02:08:25] thumb doesn't mean thumbnail, you can specify a thumbnail anytime (except with frame), it means "wrap it in a frame but don't disable thumbnailing" [02:08:36] er [02:08:42] then you have to make your own frame [02:08:50] Oh. Well now, that is kind of silly. [02:09:00] and be using 1.14+ [02:09:05] no, your demands are silly [02:09:13] Oh. [02:09:16] but we put up with them, like we put up with mimes on the streets of Paris [02:09:48] Damned mimes. What if I eliminate the mimes by out mimeing them at their own game. Will I thus be made more tolerable? [02:10:05] We'll have a mimedown, just like on eurotrip. [02:10:08]
[[Image:Ad.jpg|400px|link=http://google.com]]

[02:10:27] manual pixel adjustment required but that should get you started [02:10:44] Plug that into an htmlet? [02:10:49] you can't use link= with frame or thumb, link= is for infobox icons [02:11:01] no, that's raw wikicode, plug that into a template or wikipage [02:11:09] Oh, nice. [02:11:13] if you're using raw html, you can use text [02:11:32] much easier but less secure [02:17:33] Splarka: What if I want to get that beautiful "float" (I think that's what it's called) effect that the frame does? [02:17:50] It's probably some basic css which you were just showing me how to do, but I'm retarded in CSS [02:18:53] <^demon> If an extension defines a message used in core, does it overwrite it? [02:22:06] style="float:right;" [02:22:23] on the outermost div [02:22:29] Neurotiquette^ [03:38:36] Splarka: Thanks man! Got it all looking spiffy.

[05:41:32] demon * r55673 /USERINFO/ (happy-melon nephele): eol-style [05:41:51] heh, you got demon-eol'd (everyone makes that mistake) [05:42:40] ;) [05:43:00] weird coincidence that it happened while I was in IRC... [05:45:38] Nephele: presumably yes [05:46:05] Nephele: well it was 7 hours ago [05:46:23] you can commit it, why not? it will get code reviewed, commented on, whatever [05:46:32] it won't just blindly get scapped [05:46:47] Oops, took me a minute to notice that you'd copied/pasted it, Splarka [05:47:09] I just copy-pasted it because the initation of an SVNner is 2 steps: you commit USERINFO, and then demon eol's it because extensionless files aren't usually suggested for proper eol fixins [05:47:29] *apergos goes to look at their userinfo [05:47:41] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/USERINFO/nephele [05:47:55] OK, thanks Mike_lifeguard and apergos [05:48:07] someone else did mine :-P [05:48:16] took em a week to get to it too [05:54:35] lag lag lag lag lag [05:54:36] bleah [05:56:00] 03nephele * r55681 10/trunk/phase3/ (RELEASE-NOTES includes/EditPage.php): Fixed EditFilterMerged hook to use hookError param [06:10:31] Hmm, so $wgRateLimits doesn't need memcached; does it need _some_ object cache, though? Will it work if $wgMainCacheType is 'CACHE_NONE'? [06:16:04] *OverlordQ got his right :D havn't had to be ^demon'd yet [06:20:14] Nephele: it's also best to inculde link/bugzilla numbers in revision comments and release notes where applicable [06:21:47] Yep. The edit I just made to EditPage didn't have a bugzilla entry -- it was just a "broken" note on the wiki documentation page [06:37:26] 03nephele * r55682 10/trunk/phase3/ (RELEASE-NOTES includes/parser/Parser.php): (bug 2257) Add a $frame parameter to recursiveTagParse so tag extensions can expand template parameters [07:39:40] hi all. the /wiki/skins directory on my site is world-browsable. is this supposed to be the case? I have a memory of mediawiki suggesting I put in place some .htaccess file(s?) to prevent that. [07:43:26] Doesn't really matter; what part concerns you: the directory structure being viewable? [07:44:50] largely the number of 404's flooding the logs, and partly the lines like this "/wiki/skins/Skin.php?delete" (I understand they can't delete it, but the attempt makes me uneasy) [07:45:37] have that return "File successfully deleted, you are a leet hacker" [07:46:09] I don't see how making the directory non-browsable would help any of that, but add "Options -Indexes" to an .htaccess file there if you wish [07:46:11] hehe [07:46:27] Assuming you have .htaccess enabled. [07:46:59] Thank you, Annemarie. [07:47:06] http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=TopSecret.php ;) [07:47:09] No, thank you, Emufarmers. [07:47:14] You're welcome. :) [07:47:27] *Annemarie tickles Splarka. [07:48:01] eeeeee [07:48:04] thanks all. thats fixed it up [07:48:04] thank you Emufarmers [07:48:12] Thank you Emufarmers [07:49:17] Kamping_Kaiser: you do realize that this probably isn't going to stop the 404s, though, right? I rather doubt most of the people/bots that requested the files in that directory did so by browsing it. [07:51:01] Emufarmers: I'm putting a redirect in place for that file. [07:51:17] Which file? [07:52:19] actually... thats probably a bad idea isnt it >.> [07:52:24] :-) [07:52:52] :) [07:57:13] is it a custom skin or a default package skin? [07:58:03] its the default for now [08:07:11] Has anybody gotten popups to work on mw.org? [08:10:08] While I'm here, I should ask my other question. would it be possible to theme/skin mediawiki so it has graphical buttons in the SideBar? [08:12:10] hey, deja vu [08:12:33] easiest would be to write your own extension [08:13:09] so its possible, if I can find someone whos php savvey? [08:23:36] can you use images in the sidebar? (if so, you can just fake the buttons [08:24:19] dont think [08:24:22] no, but [08:24:27] you can add images as background via CSS [08:24:30] it is time consuming [08:24:57] you'd have to do it for each link individually, and you'd have to blank the relevant messages for links in the toolbox (and leave them blank in navigation) [08:25:04] eg: [08:25:14] ** http://google.com| [08:25:15] mmmm. wonder if I can convince "them" they don't need graphical buttons; don' like my chancdes though. [08:26:16] produces:
  • [08:26:37] but you can define it as ** http://google|google-desc and have MediaWiki:Google-desc be blank [08:27:12] you'll have a usable ID, an empty , you can just apply: display:block;width:80px;height:20px;background: ... [08:29:04] nod. would be an 'interesting' exercise in keeping everything lined up, thats for sure. *debates* [08:40:09] ghetto-test: http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar [08:40:20] needs
  • list-style removed of course [08:40:23] and padding on the

[09:23:46] I guess one of the most annoying bits of it would be getting click boxes where you want them *palms it off as developer problem* [09:25:09] sooooo.......... this is a bit of an embarrassing question (seeing as I think of myself of an apache guy), but here goes: I've installed mediawiki with ubuntu's package handler, and....... well........ [09:25:56] Splarka: sorry 'bout late responce. was afk. [09:26:16] gamla_kossan: we recommened against that [09:26:17] I've put the apache vhost's document root to /srv/www/wiki. the /wiki folder however is a symbolic link which points to /var/lib/mediawiki. [09:26:30] p858snake: installing from a package hadnler? [09:26:37] !packages [09:26:37] --mwbot-- Many Linux distributions provide MediaWiki in a packaged format for that distribution. The MediaWiki development team refers you to your Linux distribution for assistance with installing, configuring or using them. The individual communities & companies who maintain such packages should provide installation instructions. [09:26:47] ah =) [09:26:49] Splarka: I notice that the image link only works on Mediawiki:special, not on [09:27:01] well, this is actually the first time I install with a package handler =) [09:27:06] Kamping_Kaiser: could be cache, refresh [09:27:12] can't say I care much for doing it that way though =) [09:27:39] its not that we dislike them as such but most of the time they are out of date or move files around [09:27:42] Splarka: I notice that the image link only works on Mediawiki:special, not on MW:monobook.css. is that expected? [09:27:47] p858snake: right [09:27:54] Kamping_Kaiser: could be cache, refresh [09:28:02] Splarka: hehe. wilco. [09:28:10] I'm logged in so the skin isn't cached, but if you're anon it probably is [09:28:24] p858snake: I'm thinking that accounts for what's weird - the url gets rewritten from foo.com/wiki to foo.com/index.php [09:28:36] gamla_kossan: if you want to use the ubuntu packages `/msg ubottu mediawiki` or `/msg ubottu apaache` for info [09:29:01] Kamping_Kaiser: http://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Monobook.css&curid=249&foo works there? [09:29:01] that could be your apache rewrite rules though [09:29:18] p858snake: well, I don't have any =) [09:29:39] Kamping_Kaiser: nah, I'm thinking I should install the way I always do instead =) [09:29:54] gamla_kossan: no worries :) [09:30:01] =) [09:30:44] Splarka: &curid=249&foo has no click box for the logo either. [09:31:35] dunno then, gremlins [09:31:36] WFM [09:32:57] no worries. Thanks for putting up a demo [09:34:48] Hi. Do you know if there's a system to make external links behave like internal ones? To remove the arrow you have only to add plainlinks class, but on Italian language projects (and some other) we are using http://it.wikiquote.org/wiki/Template:Interprogetto to link sisterprojects. It adds links above interwikis, see e.g. http://it.wikiquote.org/wiki/Cesare_Beccaria . But, if I want to add the uselang parameter, I have to use fullurl, and link [09:34:48] s will have "external text" class and "nofollow", which is not so good for our projects: http://p.defau.lt/?kzEvFYkrPMpSQO_DprIeDQ [09:36:25] change the css? [09:37:26] We can't do this for all external links, though. [09:53:36] p858snake: redid the installation not using the package handler this time. works just like it should now =) [11:08:55] is there any way how to clean up the externallinks table when it contains link which are no longer on any page? [11:11:03] run refreshLinks? [11:23:37] 03jan * r55683 10/trunk/wiki2xml/php/wiki2xml.php: Bugfix for removing templates in parameter of templates [11:37:16] join #gimp [11:37:52] $5 [11:42:58] i imported the keys for Tim and Brion from here https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.txt imported: 2 . then gpg --verify mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz.sig mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz : Can't check signature: public key not found [11:58:12] is there something that needs to be configured in order to allow transclusion in common.js ? [11:58:43] I mean, to transclude another MediaWiki:Foo.js page [11:59:20] you can't use {{}} because it is loaded via action=raw [11:59:32] so redirects and wikicode that generate crap will never expand [11:59:49] so, no [11:59:55] but what you can do is just use javascript [12:00:02] importScript('MediaWiki:Foo.js') [12:00:03] here they do it : [12:00:06] http://de.wikisource.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js [12:00:15] sure, read what I say after, fine by me [12:00:15] look at the bottom of page [12:01:02] you = dumb [12:01:11] "in order to allow transclusion" [12:01:15] that is nothing like transclusion [12:01:20] that is just loading more JS via JS [12:01:25] like I said [12:01:37] sorry if i was not clear [12:02:08] document.write(''); [12:02:09] etc [12:02:12] lame way of doing it [13:38:09] So this spider started crawling my website several days ago...

[14:48:57] if i have a non-public mediawiki behind Apache basic auth, could i somehow achieve single-sign on, so that the user, after logging in (htpasswd), is already logged in mediawiki too [14:50:47] Isn't there an auth plugin that does that? [14:50:52] Or something like it. [14:51:04] There's some HTTP auth plugin, don't know how it works. [14:51:41] ah,, i just found that http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AutomaticREMOTE_USER [14:51:44] seems about right? [14:54:14] Dunno. [14:54:20] I thought there was one in SVN. [14:59:25] it seems to work [15:13:14] rarrr [15:13:55] why aren't you listening [15:16:19] is there a standard way in PHP to mark a function as deprecated? [15:18:58] no [15:19:00] MaxSem: wfDeprecated() in MediaWiki [15:31:35] mm half of the visible lines are nickspam :o [15:35:25] rarr [15:47:31] hi there [15:48:07] I have one question: in which PHP file/class data submitted from preferences form are being actually parsed?

I was expecting it to search all texts from all wikis [16:42:29] wiki probably does not use the built in mediawiki search [16:42:31] Ask Wikia. [16:55:01] O_O Wow. [16:55:07] :D [16:55:07] A search for all Wikia wikis. [16:55:09] Oh wait! [16:55:14] Isn't that called Google? [17:00:07] *OuKB heard somewhere that Wikia was going to pwn Google. Fail?

[19:06:54] i'm not sure [19:07:01] happened before with wordpress [19:08:16] line 113 BTW is an include for LocalSettings [19:09:23] 644 tiem [19:09:34] Trying that [19:12:53] uit works now [19:15:51] !rar | Nikerabbit [19:15:51] --mwbot-- Nikerabbit: rar [19:28:43] hmm, pretty URL: http://localhost/wiki/Special:ListFiles?limit=50&ilsearch=Sa&title=Special%3AListFiles [19:30:41] hehe :) [19:32:56] there are both a specification of destination pretty URL and a hidden value of title in the form. is it a bug? [19:34:29] it should use $wgScript for the form's action parameter rather that $this->getTitle()->getPrefixedDBkey() [19:34:37] or something like that [19:34:48] *ialex didn't read the code ;) [19:35:52] it is $this->getTitle()->getLocalURL() :) [19:36:34] rar rar [19:36:46] wassup [19:38:09] not much [19:38:12] just raring [19:41:34] 03ialex * r55684 10/trunk/phase3/includes/specials/SpecialListfiles.php: [19:41:34] Use $wgScript rather than $this->getTitle()->getLocalURL() for the action parameter, since the title parameter is already present in the hidden fields and it doesn't work with ugly URLS [19:41:34] Reported by MaxSem on IRC. [19:41:56] :) [19:43:20] Durned higher education; they have indigenous multicultural basketweaving, but no Dutch classes. :( [19:45:09] ialex: don't do that [19:45:19] Nikerabbit: hmm? [19:45:31] that leads to ugly urls domain.com/w/index.php which gives no clue to the user where she is [19:45:37] +like [19:46:17] Nikerabbit: the other solution only works for "pretty" urls [19:47:12] hmm [19:47:37] ialex: why would that be case? [19:48:14] hmm [19:48:15]
      will strip ?title=XXX [19:48:24] (on GET requests) [19:48:36] oh yeah... it works for get because hidden becomes unhidden [19:48:46] post is different beast? [19:49:07] works correctly on POST [19:49:25] as we do for edits :) [19:49:33] why is it stripped for get then? [19:50:26] because the query string will be "populated" by the fields in the form [20:17:26] when is the rough release date for 1.16 likely to be? [20:17:48] before the end of the year :P [20:18:04] (at least I'd expect so) [20:19:00] me too [20:19:16] cos I'm just building a site at the moment [20:19:27] and desperately need the new preferences backend... [20:19:31] :( [20:20:17] use trunk? :) [20:20:32] I think I'll have to [20:20:39] I don't really want to use an alpha though [20:20:45] (or branches/wmf-deployment) [20:20:49] even though I'm developing it :D [20:20:55] that's a good idea [20:20:56] wmf-deployment is not really usable by third parties. [20:21:16] trunk is reasonably stable if you don't try to svn up constantly. [20:21:24] unless they're top-ten websites with terabyte dbs? :P [20:21:39] It's not usable by *any* third party. [20:21:40] (that was at your first post) [20:21:50] hehe [20:21:54] Wikimedia isn't a third party here, it's the one the branch is intended for. [20:22:03] The branch contains various completely Wikimedia-specific hacks. [20:22:04] is the michael jackson hack still in there? [20:22:06] :D [20:22:12] No, I doubt it was ever committed. [20:22:24] hehe [20:22:30] Anyway, svn up once to get the feature you need, check for bugs, and if necessary merge particular bad revisions in or out. [20:22:39] Merge particular bad revisions out, or fixes in, I mean. [20:22:42] It works pretty well. [20:22:56] I guess [20:23:57] at least I'll get to see my new Special:AllMessages [20:24:04] hello [20:24:05] has WMF not scapped in the month I've been away? [20:24:08] ah [20:24:10] hi [20:24:15] we're getting there [20:24:19] lol [20:25:01] Happy-melon? On IRC? :O [20:25:30] Happy-melon anywhere has been a bit rare for the last month [20:25:45] Oh, speaking of your Special:Allmessages thing, someone was complaining the other day about the lack of a search feature for it. [20:25:46] *Emufarmers whips [20:26:07] hmm [20:26:14] Ctrl-F [20:26:16] ?? [20:26:17] :-P [20:26:29] Which no longer works, because you broke it into multiple pages. [20:26:32] That's kind of the point [20:26:40] &limit=5000 [20:26:52] Which defeats the purpose [20:27:13] except that the table a) linewraps properly, and b) is still 30% smaller bytecount [20:27:26] c) doesn't filter using horrible horrible horrible javascript [20:28:11] Maybe we don't even need Special:Search, then [20:28:20] d) is friendly-ly available in all languages without changing the skin [20:28:22] we can just give people XML dumps and they can grep them [20:28:43] I'm not saying it wouldn't be a nice thing to have [20:29:05] does LuceneSearch search the default system messages? [20:29:23] if so, a normal search restricted to the MediaWiki namespace would do the trick [20:29:34] that's probably a cleaner way of doing it than building it into Special:AllMessages [20:30:05] No, it doesn't. [20:30:10] could it? [20:30:16] should it? [20:30:34] Doubtful. [20:30:44] to which? [20:30:48] both? :S [20:30:55] Roughly. [20:31:01] I doubt it would be worth it. [20:31:17] &limit=5000 isn't given as an option on the drop-down menu. [20:31:30] it probably should be [20:31:43] or rather "all" [20:32:04] save people having to hack the URL [20:32:06] all++ [20:35:04] hmm [20:35:10] adding a "5000" option would be trivial [20:35:54] I could hack it [20:35:56] it would be horrible [20:36:01] :S [20:36:25] or I could change Pager a bit more [20:36:29] which would be less horrible... [21:50:24] 03happy-melon * r55685 10/trunk/phase3/ (4 files in 4 dirs): [21:50:24] * Allow IndexPager->mLimitsShown to be an associative array of limit => text-to-display-in-limit-form pairs. [21:50:24] * Use this to add an "all" value to the limit form in Special:AllMessages. In reality, "all" is only 5000, but this is plenty more than most wikis should have. [21:51:52] there we go [21:52:39] I have hundreads of pages backuped as text files that I created on a non mediawiki farm, what bot can convert all markups and add them to to wikia? [21:53:14] *and recreate all pages using standard mediawiki markup? [22:06:19] 03happy-melon * r55686 10/trunk/phase3/ (RELEASE-NOTES maintenance/language/messages.inc): Follow-up to r55685 - update messages.inc, and fix wierd positioning of comment in RELEASE-NOTES [22:24:32] hi if I as a sysop added a user with the wrong emailadress, how do i chenge that in the user-system ?? [22:24:48] change [22:26:48] KosmooDK: are you just a sysop on the wiki (no site administration access)? [22:27:00] Happy-melon, i have total access [22:27:11] soo change in the DB ? [22:27:22] then you could kludge it in the db tables if you wanted to [22:27:37] is that in clear text ? [22:27:52] uhuh [22:28:26] UPDATE user SET user_email='new_email@somewhere.com' WHERE user_name='TheUser'; [22:28:28] etc [22:28:47] i think i can do it via phpmyadmin [22:28:51] will try right now [22:31:32] Happy-melon, user_email is set as an tinyblob, which apparently is binary......... so i cant edit that ... [22:31:50] Ah [22:32:03] How did you create the user? [22:32:08] if that user has never logged in or written anything.. can i then delete it ? [22:32:13] my thoughts exactly [22:32:20] and then try again [22:32:31] with the Create user page.... [22:32:52] so nothing special [22:32:55] it should be ok [22:33:06] no warranty, of course :D [22:33:16] but that's what I'd do [22:33:46] actually .. the safe way would be to rename the user and leave it for ever....... [22:34:02] then i could use the same name again to make a new user with the right email.. [22:34:11] do you see any faults in that idea ? [22:35:13] nope
