in the URL/Address bar with <MediaWiki:Sidebar> [19:17:34] <Suloo> but where is that URL/Adress bar ? [19:19:08] <bawolff> Suloo: Only the js part of that page is outdated, the rest is fine [19:19:38] <Suloo> ok [19:20:40] <Suloo> but can you tell me where that URL/Adressbar is located? [19:21:01] <Suloo> http://awesomescreenshot.com/0073kdikec [19:21:12] <Suloo> this is what i see when i try to create a page [19:22:19] <bawolff> Yes, so if you want to link to http://example.com and have the text of the link be example, you would write something like [19:22:26] <bawolff> **http://example.com|example [19:22:52] <Suloo> ah ok [19:24:43] <Vulpix> Suloo: You're editing (apparently) the page called "Linux: Advanced Concepts", but for the sidebar you need to edit the page called "MediaWiki:Sidebar" [19:25:21] <Suloo> ah [19:25:22] <Vulpix> Suloo: see this for examples of what is an "address bar" (it's part of your browser) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_bar [19:25:47] <Suloo> ok yes [19:26:00] <Suloo> i thought it is a field in the edit page itself [19:27:25] <Suloo> Vulpix: where do i find the page MediaWiki:Sidebar? [19:28:11] <bawolff> Suloo: http://suloo.de/bitwiki/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar [19:28:30] <Suloo> ah alright [19:28:32] <Suloo> many thanks [20:11:21] <Nemo_bis> So messy when one is used to special pages https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:statdisplay [20:25:28] <Suloo> how is this tool menu on left on this page is made? [20:25:29] <Suloo> http://bitwiki.pirate-hour.net/index.php?title=Main_Page [20:25:51] <Suloo> its like a drop down with that arrow [20:30:26] <bawolff> The tool menu is made by mediawiki, it cannot be controlled by MediaWiki:Sidebar [20:30:55] <bawolff> However the drop down thingy applies to all sections other than the main one [20:31:06] <bawolff> And you can make new sections with code like *Section name [20:32:14] <Suloo> ah ok [20:34:20] <Suloo> hm [20:34:23] <Suloo> * Section name|general [20:34:26] <Suloo> like this? [20:34:36] <Suloo> in Mediawiki: Sidebar ? [21:23:02] <Derky> Does anyone know if there's a decent alternative to the Hierarchy extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Hierarchy The mentioned alternatives on the page don't do the same thing. The closest thing I found is the "Book maker" extension, but this just allows users to generate their own book versions, rather then the admin to create the book and make it viewable online as wiki pages with [21:23:08] <Derky> pagination (next chapter, previous chapter) [21:37:55] <DarkFire> Hi I need some help with my mediawiki logo [21:38:06] <DarkFire> some times thw wikipedia logo shows [21:38:32] <Krenair> link to your site? [21:38:47] <DarkFire> http://wiki.libretro.com [21:38:58] <DarkFire> it shows up on some browsers [21:39:02] <DarkFire> and not on others [21:39:30] <DarkFire> its really odd [21:40:23] <Krenair> caching issues perhaps? [21:40:33] <Krenair> try testing in incognito/private browsing mode [21:40:50] <DarkFire> I did clear it [21:40:55] <DarkFire> it shows up on my iphone [21:40:59] <DarkFire> does not show on my mac [21:41:09] <DarkFire> shows up randomaly in other peoples browsers [21:43:12] <DarkFire> <ZellSF> I get the Wikipedia logo too. Android/Firefox [21:43:15] <DarkFire> I get it in safari ios 8 [21:43:24] <DarkFire> caching cleared [21:45:26] <Krenair> ok, that is indeed weird. [21:45:34] <Krenair> I see the wikipedia logo on Chrome on Android [21:45:40] <Krenair> I've never visited this site before [21:46:08] <DarkFire> ya [21:46:12] <DarkFire> $wgLogo = "images/logo.png"; [21:46:16] <DarkFire> so idk what is going on [21:46:41] <DarkFire> fine on pouffin.. [21:46:44] <DarkFire> puffin* [21:49:01] <Krenair> mm, ok [21:49:10] <Krenair> so you do have a CSS background-image pointing to that url [21:49:31] <Krenair> however, you have two other rules pointing to wikipedia's one [21:49:43] <Krenair> both marked as !important. [21:49:48] <DarkFire> its the default mediawiki install? [21:49:58] <DarkFire> odd [21:50:22] <Krenair> @media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), (min-resolution: 2dppx) { [21:50:23] <Krenair> #p-logo a { [21:50:23] <Krenair> background-image: url(//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg/270px-Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg.png) !important; [21:50:23] <Krenair> background-size: 135px auto; [21:50:23] <Krenair> } [21:50:26] <Krenair> } [21:51:30] <micechal> It's cool how it's linked outside of the domain mediawiki is running on [21:51:45] <Krenair> DarkFire, you have admin on this site right? [21:51:58] <DarkFire> evem more cool how its not folowing $wgLogo = "images/logo.png"; [21:52:02] <DarkFire> even* [21:52:05] <DarkFire> yes I have access [21:52:17] <Krenair> It is following wgLogo [21:52:26] <Krenair> But then you were silly and copied in wikipedia's stylesheet. [21:52:39] <Krenair> See the bottom of http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css [21:53:18] <Krenair> So just rm everything under /* [[MediaZilla:35337]] */ [21:55:05] <Krenair> DarkFire, ^ [21:55:10] <DarkFire> sec [21:56:23] <Krenair> Looks like I discovered an undocumented feature of unstable Chrome. [21:56:32] <Krenair> Turn off discovering devices -> crash [22:00:24] <DarkFire> thanks Krenair thanks Krenair [22:00:28] <DarkFire> wops [22:00:56] <DarkFire> looks like a user goofed [22:00:59] <DarkFire> :)

[04:42:14] Evening All I'm attempting to patch a mediawiki install but the patch is failing becuase it can't find tests/phpunit/includes/api/format/ApiFormatJsonTest.php [04:42:26] I've never seen a tests subdir in my install before... [04:42:40] trying to patch from 1.23.1 to 1.23.2 [04:45:27] CowboyPride: skip that file [04:45:49] CowboyPride: see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71379 for more details [04:46:01] Thank you... [07:15:43] in DPL "redirects" parameter says: The result will consist of content pages and redirect pages tagged with [[Category:Africa]]. Note: this parameter does not show pages that link to the redirect (as Special:Whatlinkshere/DPL:Discussion does); only redirect pages themselves. [07:16:01] How to SHOW those pages that link to the redirect? [07:39:22] Does mediawiki have a size limit for pages? [07:40:04] I just got a "Error: The text you have submitted is 2,129 kilobytes long, which is longer than the maximum of 2,048 kilobytes. It cannot be saved." and I'm wondering in which thing this maximum actually is... [08:00:50] Isarra: there are multiple places where limits can be present [08:01:44] off the top of my head: in php.ini, and in LocalSettings ($wgMaxUploadSize) [08:04:16] php.ini has a 2MB limit by default, so that looks like the culprit [08:04:19] Check http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Set_maximum_size_for_file_uploads [08:11:23] Thought I already set that to 10MB, but never did test that. [08:12:09] I'll check what it does in general, I suppose. [08:12:11] Thanks. [09:13:38] gleki: you might want to ask at talk page of the DPL extension as I suspect the relevant people watchlist it [09:48:33] ok [11:13:51] hmm [11:13:54] strange [11:14:13] try entering “Double baseball” [11:14:17] (to search) [11:14:20] on enwiki and plwiki [11:14:29] enwiki shows the suggestion, plwiki does not [11:14:38] cirrussearch versions exactly the same [12:55:19] hello... I'm finding some problem in upgrading [12:55:28] i've made the database dump [12:55:39] i've downloaded the new version of mediawiki [12:55:56] i've placed the Localsettings file and the images in the right palce [12:56:20] then i've uploaded the files but it throws me a db query error [12:56:28] maye i've missed something? [12:56:37] what error? [12:56:40] do i have to upgrade the dba tables? [12:56:51] A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. [12:57:12] there probably is an upgrade script, Manual:Updating should cover it, I'm not 100% sure [12:57:40] yes i've seen the upgrade script but. i don't have command line access to my server [12:58:45] how do i upgradw from the web browser? [12:58:58] softplay: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Web_browser [12:59:04] thanks [12:59:16] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Web_browser [12:59:22] eek. thanks. I am slow... [12:59:39] :) [13:00:00] thanks to the two of you ;) [13:06:49] see you guyz! [14:11:19] is there any way to get notified whenever someone submits a patch that, if merged, will modify a particular file? e.g. suppose I want to be notified whenever someone submits a patch to modify MysqlUpdater.php [14:20:56] leucosticte: none that I'm aware of. Not even on github :( (you can get notified for an entire repo, but not just a file) [14:21:25] Vulpix: oh. That might be a good way, if it could be implemented, to help reduce that code review bottleneck people are always talking about. [14:21:38] the thing is, CVS had such a notification for files! [14:22:08] Vulpix: There probably is some way to implement it using some sort of bot. [14:22:22] I wonder if phabricator will include that feature [14:38:52] Vulpix: Yeah, I haven't explored Phabricator yet, I guess we'll find out pretty soon. [14:50:02] Hello [14:50:17] hi [14:50:32] ive setup a new Media wiki and would like to build a new skin for it [14:50:41] i installed this [14:50:42] https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/mediawiki%2Fskins%2FExample.git [14:50:50] but all i get is blank white page [14:51:16] !blank | Suloo [14:51:17] Suloo: A blank page or HTTP 500 error usually indicates a fatal PHP error. For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see . [14:51:44] you may be able to see what error are you getting on the apache/server's error log [14:51:54] ah ok [14:53:34] Suloo: also, I'm not sure if that "example" skin would work for current master, maybe a change in core has made it incompatible and whoever did the change forgot to fix that skin [14:53:57] ok [14:54:37] i would be fine with just making a copy of the vector and build up on that one [14:55:51] but when i try to compile the less files it gives me errors, saying for example: FileError: 'mediawiki.mixins' wasn't found [14:56:27] so, my compiler does not create the css files out of the less files [14:56:38] im using winless [14:57:13] about creating from Vector: if you're using git master, probably yes, because Vector will be standalone from MediaWiki core (or viceversa, something that any custom skin should be) [15:00:22] Suloo: The less files used in MW core are not standard compliant. [15:01:17] ok [15:01:33] im new to less and media wiki as well [15:02:02] Suloo: In principle it should not be necessary to compile the files by hand. They are compiled on the fly. [15:02:22] i basically just want a theme that is responsive [15:13:38] ah nice, it works now [15:13:45] with that example skin [15:14:01] i just hat the example.php in the example folder rater than in the skin folder [15:14:12] so i put that in the skin folder, and now it works [15:14:14] cool [15:14:27] :) [17:53:27] hello, i have added parentlink extension in my wiki, but i can not go parent link in any page of my wiki, could anybody help me? [17:53:45] Is extension listed at Special:Version [17:54:05] Do you have a link to the extension in question, and a link to your wiki? [17:54:41] in special:version [17:54:44] i can see, [17:55:07] what do you mean by link to wiki? [17:55:43] As in, could you post a link to your website, so I could see the extension not working. [17:56:13] http://wiki.parsintelligent.com [17:58:24] have you seen? [17:58:42] * bawolff looking [18:01:25] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParentPageLink looks rather sketchy [18:02:58] i have followed that methods, but i can not have parent link [18:03:25] * bawolff doesn't know. Sorry. I think https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParentPageLink is simply just not the best method of doing such a thing [18:03:58] i mean in each wiki page, i should have parent link and also can go parent link [18:04:04] am i right?? [18:04:15] understand what i mean? [18:05:02] : i mean sth like that please see ftp://59.41.255.150/en%28enlish%29/ [18:05:11] it has parent link [18:05:24] I don't think https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParentPageLink really does that. [18:05:55] so what new option it apply? [18:07:01] what new option it add? [18:07:23] please help [18:07:44] * bawolff does not know the answer [18:09:39] bawolff: maybe you laugh at me, but realy i do not know what that option do in my wiki [18:09:50] please if you know, let me know [18:10:03] Well I can't help you, because I don't know the answer you seek [18:11:08] i just want to know, i added that extension, what should i do to use it? what is it doing? [19:14:50] hey [19:15:21] i try to add links to the navigation menu on the left in the monobook skin [19:15:30] but i do not understand how its done [19:15:48] i read this here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar [19:15:55] but it says its outdated [19:16:13] here is my site: http://suloo.de/bitwiki/index.php?title=Hauptseite [19:16:36] basically i want the tables on the mainpage tp appear on the left [19:17:12] in that manual they say: replace your wiki page's in the URL/Address bar with <MediaWiki:Sidebar> [19:17:34] <Suloo> but where is that URL/Adress bar ?
