[13:14:08] <tibyke>	 how could i make a totally private wiki so that no page and content is visible to anonymous users. no i have the mandatory login, but the left sidebar with the categories is still visible. how could i make it go for anonymous users, or even better, redirect every page to a login page?
[13:18:00] <Xeroa>	 @tibyke you may start looking here for possible solutions: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Administrators
[13:18:40] <Xeroa>	 Also, you can set the type of wiki during the installation process. This can always be changed in the LocalSettings.php file of your mediawiki isntall
[13:19:02] <Xeroa>	 Therefore i kindly refer you to the administrators manual page :-)
[13:19:41] <tibyke>	 thanks, checking. do you know the name of the variable to change wiki type? its a legacy version upped to the latest, and it doesnt have anything like that.
[13:20:38] <Gloria>	 !access | tibyke 
[13:20:38] <wm-bot>	 tibyke: For information on customizing user access, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights>. For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access>.
[13:21:03] <Xeroa>	 ty Gloria :-)
[13:21:09] <tibyke>	 thx!
[13:21:20] <Gloria>	 The login page still has a left sidebar. ;-)
[13:22:15] <Xeroa>	 But that can be removed i believe by access of the special pages...
[13:22:23] <Xeroa>	 But taht's more for mediawiki-dev i believe
[13:22:38] <Gloria>	 You generally shouldn't ever change MediaWiki core files.
[13:22:42] <Gloria>	 It makes upgrades painful.
[13:23:05] <Xeroa>	 Indeed, it's best to make customizations to a wiki by writing an extension
[13:23:16] <Xeroa>	 But that's not an easy task, especially for ebginners like me :-)
[13:24:36] <tibyke>	 Gloria, so the sidebar has some categories and other info which i dont want to be available for non-privileged users, anonymous,e tc.
[13:28:21] <Gloria>	 Gotta run, sorry.
[13:39:03] <tibyke>	 I edited includes/Skin.php function() buildSidebar to only return anything if a user is logged in.
[13:41:24] <tibyke>	 i pretty new to mediawiki, so what i did is checking session: if (!empty($_SESSION['wsUserID']) && !empty($_SESSION['wsToken'])) {....}
[13:41:36] <tibyke>	 should that be ok? it works for sure :)
[13:45:02] <tibyke>	 and also !empty($_COOKIE['wikidb_session'])
[14:28:19] <Withoutaname>	 I wonder if you could just add display:none to everything
[15:22:39] <marktraceur>	 Withoutaname: You could but the site would be a little boring
[16:41:29] <axxis>	 greetings. Is there anyway to mass import all of the help documentation of mediawiki to a wiki?
[17:03:47] <rohit-dua>	 !seen Tpt
[17:03:47] <wm-bot>	 Did you mean @seen Tpt?
[17:04:04] <rohit-dua>	 @seen Tpt
[17:04:05] <wm-bot>	 rohit-dua: Last time I saw Tpt they were quitting the network with reason: Quit: Tpt N/A at 5/6/2014 7:28:19 PM (21h35m45s ago)
[17:12:17] <biberao>	 hi
[17:12:24] <biberao>	 how would i import a .txt to mediawiki?
[17:13:04] <biberao>	 plese
[17:14:21] <biberao>	 found it i believe
[18:06:27] <Bearded>	 Hey guys
[18:07:53] <Bearded>	 If I have an existing Bitnami stack running on port 80, and I want to add another port 80 MediaWiki (I'm excited to get it running correctly!) I would have to use the same VM instance to be able to use 2 different Domains with the same IP
[18:08:13] <Bearded>	 sorry if that was drawn out, but I either need help, or to find another way :/
[18:09:02] <Bearded>	 aka use apache virtual hosts on the same VM
[18:27:37] <Bearded>	 any ideas
[18:54:51] <chas11man_>	 is safeQuery() still used?
[19:50:23] <Automatik>	 Hi
[19:51:22] <Automatik>	 When a system message like searchemenu-new receives the current search as the variable $1, is this variable is encoded?
[19:55:22] <Reedy>	 It depends on the message and how it was implemented
[20:00:43] <Automatik>	 Do you know any way to look at the implementation of the "searchmenu-new" message?
[20:03:24] <^d>	 Automatik: You'd want to have a look in SpecialSearch.php. It's implemented in showCreateLink()
[20:03:44] <^d>	 The first param happens to be:
[20:03:44] <^d>	 wfEscapeWikiText( $title->getPrefixedText() )
[20:27:58] <Automatik>	 Thank you! And if we want to create a link containing the title in a URL like this: .../index.php?title=$1&action=edit , and the title contains a ' for example, then the URL will be ...?title=...&#39;... then MW won't like the sign # in the title, and the title of the page to create is truncated after the # sign. Is there a solution to avoid this?
[20:30:47] <Vulpix>	 Automatik: you should be using {{fullurl:$1|action=edit}} for things like that
[20:31:07] <Automatik>	 Thanks, I'll try it
[21:22:24] <uwe>	 hello, i have a question that has to do with templates and {{tag:pre|}} ; and i want to assign a class to it ... If this is not the place to ask, please forward me where i can ask ...
[21:24:18] <uwe>	 so i have a template to customize the <pre> tag using a class, in a template , doing <pre class="something">{{{1}}}</pre> would not make {{{1}}} interpritted as the first parameter, so i used {{tag:pre}} instead, but now i'm unable to figure out how to pass a class attribute to it ...
[21:25:01] <Vulpix>	 uwe: {{#tag:pre|content|class=something}} 
[21:25:20] <Vulpix>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Miscellaneous
[21:28:42] <uwe>	 thanks Vulpix !!
[21:32:42] <Vulpix>	 yw ;)
[21:33:18] <biberao>	 Vulpix: do you know any good converter from doc to mediawiki format?
[21:33:27] <biberao>	 one that could select individual pages?
[21:33:52] <Vulpix>	 uh, no
[21:34:01] <biberao>	 damn :|
[22:10:19] <Quasar`>	 is there any way to suppress addition of <p> tags in a given context, such as a template's transclusion?
[22:10:41] <Quasar`>	 I have a template that's a div with some text in it but when the template is transcluded, magic <p> tags are getting added around the textual content.
[22:10:57] <Quasar`>	 that'd be fine except that causes Extension:Description2 to decide that's part of the article content :>
[22:11:43] <Quasar`>	 whereas it's actually a stub header.
[22:23:39] <Quasar`>	 putting the content in its own p tag works fine :>
[22:51:26] <jazzorius>	 So this is more of a php/mySQL question than MediaWiki. I noticed that sometimes timestamps are CHAR (14) rather than DATETIME in Mediawiki's database tables. Is that because it's better for performance?
[22:53:16] <eebbrr>	 hello all!
[22:53:24] <sumanah>	 hi eebbrr 
[22:53:45] <eebbrr>	 I'm trying to find Nik Everett, the guy who created this:  https://github.com/wikimedia/search-highlighter
[22:54:10] <eebbrr>	 does anyone have an email address for him?  I'd like to ask him questions about that project
[22:54:13] <sumanah>	 eebbrr: he goes by "manybubbles" when he is on IRC - you could email wikitech-l and he is on there
[22:54:15] <sumanah>	 !lists | eebbrr 
[22:54:16] <wm-bot>	 eebbrr: mediawiki-l and wikitech-l are the primary mailing lists for MediaWiki-related issues. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mailing_lists for details.
[22:55:07] <eebbrr>	 sumanah: thanks so much.  I'll join wikitech-1 asap.  shanks!
[22:55:17] <sumanah>	 :)
[22:55:37] <sumanah>	 jazzorius: sorry I do not know
[22:55:54] <jazzorius>	 sumanah: OK. Thanks
[22:56:19] <sumanah>	 jazzorius: you may want to ask on wikitech-l or in a more MariaDB-centric channel
[22:56:52] <jazzorius>	 sumanah: OK. Thanks
