[01:48:01] Howdy [01:49:55] I'm trying to code a relatively simple Template, but am getting caught up with the brackets syntax...any gurus have a few minutes? [01:49:57] Hey prech [05:08:02] So i just went on mw.org for the first time in ages [05:08:05] and I was mentioned: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Translate/Mass_migration_tools#Approaching_conclusion.2C_feast_now [05:08:11] Can someone catch me up on what that's about [05:08:14] since I'm so lost [05:10:25] Nemo_bis: see the above. [05:11:16] Nemo_bis: I'm not making sense of it. "What is the problem, and what should these translators do?" are not answered in that message, to my understanding. [05:11:37] I don't even do anything as translationadmin [05:11:47] I only had it to delete and revert vandalism in the translation pages [06:16:56] svetlana: it's not a message for translators [06:17:20] the subject page is supposed to provide the basics [08:09:22] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Configuration_settings#Ideas_for_making_translatable [08:37:28] hi, when i use link a website in my wiki, [08:37:48] and assume a user click on that link, then the link be opned in same tab [08:38:09] if i want the link be opned in another tab, what should i do? [08:55:29] could anybody answer me [08:55:30] ? [08:57:17] hi! updating mediawiki with installed interwiki extension - it returns me error while running maintenance/update.php - it can't open 'archives/patch-add_interwiki.sql' [08:57:40] i've solved it, file was `archives/patch-interwiki.sql' [08:58:12] but it does CREATE table, not ALTER, and I already have this table, with a bit different structure [08:59:15] should i remove 'iw_api', 'iw_wikiid' and 'iw_trans' columns, as archives/patch-interwiki.sql suggesting? [09:04:53] could any body answer me? [09:18:38] hi, if i link a website in my wiki, and then click on that, the website is opned in that tab, which wiki is opened [09:18:52] if i wan to open it in new tab, what should i do? [09:29:23] Umm theres a config [09:29:43] what? [09:29:48] which config? [09:30:25] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Opening_external_links_in_a_new_window [09:30:42] Set a default target for external links. Add the following entry to your "LocalSettings.php" file in order to open links in a new window / tab. $wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank'; [09:31:09] $wgExternalLinkTarget [09:31:36] to find this i needed to do a web search. the keyword was 'external link' 'mediawiki' and 'new tab' (the first of which which is absent in your question) :) [09:32:11] * bawolff would have been more specific, but harder to look up when using cell phone [09:32:30] yes i agree :) [09:32:44] what do you mean? [09:32:45] by [09:32:46] Set a default target for external links. [09:33:05] set default "where do they open?" for links which lead to pages outside of your wiki [09:33:24] links which lead to pages on your wiki are called "internal links" [09:33:59] "target" = "where do they open when I click on them?" [09:34:19] how caould set target?? [09:34:38] i just paste this $wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank'; [09:34:45] in my local setting.php [09:34:48] ye, add it to the end of your LocalSettings.php [09:35:00] just this? [09:35:03] yep [09:35:05] reload the page, should work [09:35:23] it open in new window or new tab? [09:35:54] that's up to your browser to decide, usually new tab [09:36:21] Thanks, let me check:-) [10:42:43] https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/How_about_a_MediaWiki_Consortium%3F is going on right now [10:42:46] and there's a live stream apparently [10:45:21] legoktm: is it a big group? [10:45:50] * robla is in another session, but could come downstairs if it makes sense for me to [10:45:51] robla: like 25-30 people? the room is pretty bad though [13:17:38] Hi! Is there any way to change a page's canonical title? Eg: The url is "Foo" but the page title is "My Foo". [13:18:41] yes [13:18:47] !displaytitle [13:18:47] See . [13:20:52] Hmm, that doesn't seem to be working. [13:21:29] I'm trying to do this via special page (Wikitext), and it's not changing the title at all. [15:36:59] Hi All, am new here and looking for help with tracking down a DB deadlock with MediaWiki 1.23.2 + VisualEditor + Parsoid service. I did quite some investigation and think I know what is happening, but dont understand the _why_. Is this the right place to ask here? [15:38:18] BjoKaSH: Hey, the best place to ask is probably #mediawiki-visualeditor but it sounds very odd indeed – neither VE nor Parsoid touch MediaWiki closely enough to cause a DB issue, or at least, it shouldn't! [15:40:05] BjoKaSH, is there a serious load on your wiki in general? [15:41:13] Well, the basic sequence is Client calls /wiki/api.php -> VisualEditor Extension calls parsoid service -> Parsoid service calls /wiki/api.php while the first call is still running. This second call deadlocks. I spend full day yesterday to trace and have a complete 26 steps interaction log (used MediaWikis logging facilities + tcpsdump to capture the on-wire conversations) [15:42:50] @MaxSem: No, idle test wiki, but requiring to be logged in to read. I followed the relevant suggestion regarding Cookie forwarding and setting wgSessionsInObjectCache = true; for non-blocking session store. [15:44:31] BjoKaSH: What DB back-end are you using? [15:45:56] I use mysql: 5.5.35, Debian wheezy package. Basically, this is an almost up-to-date Debian wheezy with VE and Parsoid (MediaWiki extension and the service) from Git [15:46:14] Installed overthe last week [15:47:04] Hmm. That sounds very odd indeed. [15:47:56] I have a long writeup of my investigation, only to discover afterwards, that there seems to be no public mailing list for such things. I can post it somewhere. [15:50:11] Mediawiki-l ? [15:50:42] BjoKaSH: Wikitech-l or wikitext-l would both be appropriate. [15:51:31] Ok, I missed both, Google for "mailing list mediawiki visual editor" didn't produced something obvious. [15:51:49] Ah, sorry, no there's no VisualEditor-specific list right now. [15:52:00] We might make one but so far it's not really had much need. [15:52:13] (Splitting lists mean fewer people get to see the issues.) [15:53:53] Agreed. Honestly, I am more an old-school mailing list that a forum / chat guy. Anyway, back to topic: I was kind of hoping I made something obviously wrong, but it seems my problem hasn'd been reported so far. [15:57:04] Should I first try the #mediawiki-visualeditor irc channel or better go directly to the wikitech-l, given that I have already a write-up of the problem (including versions, setup and session transcript) in mail format. [15:57:32] BjoKaSH: The list post would be great. [15:57:58] BjoKaSH: Right now we're all at a conference so response won't be instant, I'm afraid. [16:00:06] @James_F Ok, no problem now that I know I might have to wait a bit. Will locate the mailing list now, register and send my question/findings. [16:00:22] BjoKaSH: Awesome. Sorry for the difficulties you've had! [16:11:50] @James_F Done. Happy reading and enjoy your conference. [17:38:05] hmm [17:38:14] first-ever commit war on gerrit> [17:38:17] *? [17:51:59] lazowik: I doubt it's the first. [17:52:09] mhm [18:26:59] Hi, I noticed looking through the less files that Vector does @import mediawiki.mixins, but I dont see a file named like that anywhere? [18:28:21] mediawiki.mixins seems to be some sort of alias or keyword that imports multiple stuff [18:31:45] Well the issue I am having is I need to use the clearfix hack, and I have it as a mixin, but when I use it in the template, MediaWiki breaks [18:31:53] I think its the less extend function [18:32:12] so I am trying to just compile all the less files into a skin now [18:36:23] nvm, found them
