[00:10:29] <frecar>	 is the get_web_data broken with JSON ? 
[00:10:42] <Krenair>	 get_web_data?
[00:11:13] <frecar>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:External_Data
[00:11:39] <frecar>	 I can't get it to work with JSON data :/
[00:12:11] <frecar>	 Trying to get data from the Freebase api
[00:14:56] <frecar>	 trying to do a query like this: https://gist.github.com/frecar/d827cfb88a9f1eea79f0
[00:15:20] <frecar>	 but all I got is: "Error: no local variable was set"
[00:16:49] <frecar>	 any ideas? =) 
[00:17:02] <Krenair>	 never used that extension
[00:21:18] <frecar>	 any other way to get external data?

[05:54:59] <diverdude>	 Hello, i am using mediawiki with great joy...image uploads works, cross refs works latex integration works and more. However, I am trying to take my old "documents directory" with a lot of subdirs and organize it differently using mediawiki....There are lot of pdf's and such and it takes a long time to upload them one by one...is there a way of just uploading all the files easily such that i may reference them from the wiki.. or

[06:25:10] <AaronSchulz>	 maybe use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UploadWizard ?
[06:26:24] <MaxSem>	 maintenance/uploadBatch.php from shell
[06:27:24] <AaronSchulz>	 actually importImages too, given a subdir
[06:27:40] <AaronSchulz>	 in maintenance/ too
[06:28:53] <mentifis>	 hey, AaronSchulz or MaxSem...
[06:28:55] <mentifis>	 I'm having trouble setting a favicon on a local installation despite manually using the variable... I've even tried using an absolute path
[06:29:55] <MaxSem>	 what doesn'tt work?
[06:30:23] <mentifis>	 it just doesn't appear at all... I tried putting it in the root folder and nothing appears either
[06:31:20] <MaxSem>	 what's  in page source? what do you see in network activity in developer tools?
[06:34:14] <mentifis>	 <link rel="shortcut icon" href="> references it
[06:37:59] <MaxSem>	 and your $wgFavicon is...?
[06:40:15] <mentifis>	 I tried to use both $wgFavicon = "$wgScriptPath/favicon.ico"; - and then its absolute path, but none seem to work ($wgScriptPath seems to work for others too, so I'm assuming it should work even when not absolute)
[06:41:10] <mentifis>	 btw http://www.valis.com/images/psi4.jpg is the favicon I'm trying to use... 32x32 etc. should work, right?
[06:41:52] <MaxSem>	 it should bbee in .ico format, not JPEG
[06:42:19] <mentifis>	 I did rename it
[07:19:02] <zumba>	 Hi, I want to use single codebase of  mediawiki for two sites, but need to use different database. any help?
[07:20:25] <andre__>	 ln -s ? :P
[07:23:50] <zumba>	 hi andre, I followed this link http://www.steverumberg.com/wiki/index.php?title=WikiHelp_-_Method_Two#Unix_commands_that_you.27ll_use, but it talks about using same DB, diff table prefix 
[07:24:31] <zumba>	 I want to use different DB itself? 
[07:24:36] <andre__>	 "No valid wiki specified.php"
[07:24:44] <andre__>	 when I click your link.
[07:28:03] <zumba>	 hi Andre, yeah realized pl. retry the link I sent, it opens second time 
[14:21:36] <onei>	 is it possible to do aliases for namespaces? e.g. NS_USER would be User and Userr
[14:24:34] <saper>	 !namespacealiases
[14:24:41] <saper>	 !namespace
[14:24:41] <wm-bot>	 See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces for user help and documentation, and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Namespace for administration. For adding namespaces, see !extranamespace
[14:24:49] <saper>	 !extranamespace | onei
[14:24:50] <wm-bot>	 onei: To add a namespace, modify your LocalSettings.php file, and add namespaces via $wgExtraNamespaces. A comprehensive set of instructions for adding a namespace can be found at <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces>. $wgExtraNamespaces can also be used to rename the default namespaces.
[14:27:37] <YRTviva>	 Hello Someone there?
[14:28:12] <YRTviva>	 I need to protect untill Jan 1st 2016 how can set a date?
[15:16:24] <Guest44258>	 There is a page that was hacked in order to post malicious content about a certain United Nations executive. I used WhoIs to find the MediaWiki owner and contacted him. He said that page was put up under their MediaWiki without their approval, but they can't seem to delete it for some reason. Can someone at MediaWiki please help us take down the hacked page? Thanks.
[15:16:48] <Guest44258>	 The URL is http://wiki.originlab.com/~originla/wiki2/index.php?title=Learn_More_About_The_Lawsuit_Against_Grupo_Mayan_And_Daniel_Chavez_Moran 
[18:23:22] <islalobo>	 Hello, I forgot my username and I am trying to sign in in order to delete my account
[18:25:35] <Yaron>	 islalobo: is this on a small wiki, or a major wiki like Wikipedia?
[18:26:01] <Yaron>	 (Although in any case, you can't delete accounts in MediaWiki.)
[18:27:34] <islalobo>	 Yaron I was able to sign in. Now I am just looking to delete the user on mediawiki.org
[18:27:47] <Yaron>	 You can't do it.
[18:28:58] <sumanah>	 brion: hey, Ryan Lane and Tyler Romeo are interested in chatting about their RfCs on *Tuesday* next week; would that be okay with you? I know you usually don't like to do these meetings on Tues or Thurs
[18:29:09] <sumanah>	 but Tuesday is a lot better for Ryan
[18:29:22] <brion>	 sure just let me know when and i’ll keep my schedule open
[18:29:52] <islalobo>	 Yaron oh
[18:29:54] <sumanah>	 brion: thanks for your flexibility.
[18:30:12] <brion>	 no prob :)
[18:30:18] <sumanah>	 You know I usually try to keep it on MWF because you have the maker time vs meeting time division :)
[18:30:48] <brion>	 :D
[18:33:34] <MC8>	 Is it possible to see whether an interface message is actually used on a wiki?
[18:34:23] <Yaron>	 MC8: I don't think so...
[18:35:00] <sumanah>	 that would be cool! but yeah I don't know how you would do that
[18:35:26] <sumanah>	 MC8: I guess that you COULD put a unique string into the interface msg, and then set up a spider to crawl EVERY PAGE of the wiki and tell you if it found a match
[18:35:29] <sumanah>	 seems excessive though
[18:37:43] <johnduhart>	 I can only image that somewhere in core there's an unused message
[18:38:16] <legoktm>	 um
[18:38:18] <sumanah>	 I find this likely
[18:38:22] <sumanah>	 I could be wrong
[18:38:34] <legoktm>	 you could just put a wfDebugLog in the MessageCache::get hook if the key is the one you're looking for
[18:38:40] <legoktm>	 and check your log files after a few days
[18:38:47] <sumanah>	 That sounds a lot more elegant :)
[18:38:56] <Yaron>	 I don't think either of those ideas would work...
[18:39:13] <Yaron>	 You could have a message that only shows up after some obscure error, or some such.
[18:39:22] <legoktm>	 sure, it wouldn't be perfect
[18:39:44] <sumanah>	 yeah, it would help with screening out some candidates 
[18:39:58] <Yaron>	 Alright, yes.
[18:41:08] <sumanah>	 so, we could construct a list of the keys and then ack through the rest of the codebase to check whether that key appears again, right?
[18:42:24] <yang>	 Is there a way to import Wikipedia's Template:Cite web into mediawiki instance ?
[18:42:49] <sumanah>	 !import
[18:42:49] <wm-bot>	 To import pages a few pages, use Special:Import - you can also import pages directly from another wiki (see !importsources). For mass imports, use importDump.php - see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps> for details. NOTE: when using content from another wiki, follow the LICENSE TERMS, especially, attribute source and authors!
[18:42:52] <sumanah>	 !templateimport
[18:42:55] <sumanah>	 !template
[18:42:55] <wm-bot>	 For more information about templates, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates>. See also: !templateproblems , !wptemplates
[18:43:00] <sumanah>	 !wptemplates
[18:43:00] <wm-bot>	 To copy templates from Wikipedia, use Special:Export and check the "Include templates" option to get all the sub-templates, then upload the file with Special:Import on your wiki. You'll also likely have to install the ParserFunctions extension, Scribunto extension and install/enable HTML tidy. You also might need some CSS from Wikipedia's Common.css. You'll also need a lot of...
[18:43:02] <sumanah>	 aha!
[18:43:04] <sumanah>	 there you are
[18:43:13] <yang>	 thanks
[18:43:26] <sumanah>	 yang: glad to help. How is your MediaWiki installation doing?
[18:43:35] <yang>	 its perfect
[18:43:53] <sumanah>	 Aw, that is nice to hear :)
[18:44:58] <Nemo_bis>	 MC8: if you find a way let [[Talk:localisation]] know, the i18n folks have a hard time removing unused messages :D
[18:45:31] <Nemo_bis>	 Trivia: more useful is to know which messages are used the most. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63416
[18:45:33] <sumanah>	 Nemo_bis: this feels like something that a motivated volunteer could set up a tool to check for. Do you agree? 
[18:45:39] <Nemo_bis>	 sumanah: no
[18:45:41] <sumanah>	 Nemo_bis: also have you ever seen http://dxr.mozilla.org/ ?
[18:47:39] <yang>	 sumanah: it says for Wikipedia import i need to "upload" the file into Special:Import
[18:47:52] <yang>	 But the Template on Wikipedia source is protected
[18:48:15] <sumanah>	 sorry yang I will now defer to people who have done this more often than I have
[19:37:47] <AnonDE>	 Hi there. How can I avoid the ugly UNIQblaqwertznarfQNIU error on the Extension:FileBrowser with MediaWiki 1.22.5 ? it just occurs if i would use the "FileBrowser" with <filebrowser /> or <filebrowser dir="existing/dir"> ... <file name='path/to/file.file' caption='linkname' /> is working fine... i think its $wgOut to blame. Cheers
[19:41:33] <Vulpix>	 AnonDE: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extensions_FAQ#.22NaodW....22_or_.22UNIQ....22
[20:20:51] <manybubbles>	 Nemo_bis: any interest in me unleashing some new snippet code on itwiki?
[20:21:04] <manybubbles>	 it _should_ perform better and make much prettier snippets
[20:21:10] <manybubbles>	 like, with much more relevent extracts
[20:25:17] <Nemo_bis>	 sumanah (uh, gone): yes, I saw it, I think it was covered in http://laxstrom.name/blag/
[20:25:38] <Nemo_bis>	 manybubbles: Uh. No time to ask about it now..
[20:25:51] <Nemo_bis>	 When is it going to be deployed if I don't say yes? :)
[20:26:59] <manybubbles>	 Nemo_bis: not really sure.  I plan to deploy it to group 0 soonish - monday?  let it sit there and see if anyone complains for a bit
[20:27:07] <manybubbles>	 not _right_now_ that is for sure
[20:27:56] <manybubbles>	 it's available via a url parameter (cirrusHighlighter=experimental) right now.  I've got a new version that'll make the output coming soon, though.
[20:37:26] <Piotrek>	 Hi, I have a simple question - does MW support IPv6?
[20:37:37] <Reedy>	 Yup
[20:37:51] <Piotrek>	 Ah, OK.
[20:37:54] <Reedy>	 There might be a couple of bug here and there...
[20:38:00] <Reedy>	 But Wikipedia has had ipv6 for a while
[20:39:17] <Reedy>	 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=ipv6&list_id=309229&resolution=---
[22:16:43] <johnduhart>	 Reedy: Is AWB still using sourceforge?
[22:29:13] <Reedy>	 johnduhart: Aye
[22:31:09] <johnduhart>	 Reedy: poor you
[22:31:31] <Reedy>	 Doesn't make much difference
[23:02:42] <Meiko>	 who's in charge of the github copies of all gerrit repositories?
[23:02:48] <Meiko>	 the ones at http://github.com/wikimedia
[23:03:49] <marktraceur>	 Hm, it may once upon a time have been yuvipanda.
[23:04:09] <Meiko>	 hmm, do you know anyone who has admin/owner-level access to them?
[23:04:47] <marktraceur>	 Meiko: Why do you ask?
[23:04:57] <Meiko>	 I'd kind of like to have one of github's webhooks added to https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-MediaWikiChat so that it can show commits to it in #brickimedia on freenode
[23:05:41] <Meiko>	 We have the IRC webhook on all of Brickimedia's other repositories/extensions that we host on our github (http://github.com/Brickimedia) but MediaWikiChat is the only one we have in Wikimedia version control
[23:05:45] <marktraceur>	 Meiko: Why not make a Gerrit API call?
[23:05:58] <Meiko>	 If I knew how, I would :P
[23:05:58] <p858snake|l>	 ^d has access I believe, but probably best to file a bug in BZ under "Wikimedia -> Git"
[23:06:18] <marktraceur>	 Meiko: You can use the grrrit-wm repo to add configuration for #brickimedia
[23:06:35] <Meiko>	 Ok
[23:06:38] <marktraceur>	 Meiko: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grrrit-wm
[23:06:48] <Meiko>	 thanks for the link
[23:06:55] <marktraceur>	 Yup
[23:08:24] <Meiko>	 marktraceur: Is grrrit-wm based on node.js?
[23:08:28] <Meiko>	 looks like it
[23:08:47] <marktraceur>	 Yeah, but you only need to add a json config change
[23:09:33] <Meiko>	 yeah
[23:09:56] <Meiko>	 I've never used node.js except for launching Parsoid but I'll figure out how to execute grrrit :P
[23:10:07] <marktraceur>	 You shouldn't need to execute it
[23:10:16] <marktraceur>	 Just add the config line, someone will merge and deploy it
[23:10:23] <Meiko>	 Ohhh
[23:10:43] <Meiko>	 you want me to put in a change to gerrit for it. I was thinking I'd clone it and add my config but now I see
[23:11:06] <Meiko>	 that makes things easier
[23:13:45] <Krenair>	 marktraceur, Meiko: FYI, there are 17 owners of the wikimedia github org
[23:13:59] <Meiko>	 wow
[23:14:10] <marktraceur>	 Only?
[23:14:10] <marktraceur>	 :P
[23:14:14] <Krenair>	 one of which is gerrit actually
[23:18:05] <Meiko>	 marktraceur: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/129610/ :D
[23:18:58] <marktraceur>	 Meiko: I have to handle a bunch of other stuff today but I'll keep it halfway in mind. :)
[23:19:08] <Meiko>	 Okay :)
[23:19:46] <Meiko>	 after it's merged, it'll just automatically join #brickimedia or is it like GitHub's IRC webhook where it'll only join when there's a change and then it'll leave again?
[23:20:51] <Krenair>	 it stays joined
[23:20:56] <Meiko>	 sweet
[23:30:28] <Meiko>	 legoktm: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/129610/ fixed
[23:31:04] <legoktm>	 sweet
[23:34:46] <Meiko>	 legoktm: thanks :)
[23:34:50] <legoktm>	 np
