[01:07:51] @bawolff: Turns out my file cache was corrupted. I deleted all the files, and allowed it to rebuild - and now the pages are rendering correctly. :S [01:08:16] I blame the upgrade to 1.23... But I can't be sure - we'll see if it happens again. [06:44:30] harej: so, MassMessage only converts User: --> User talk: [06:45:02] this is kind of documented on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:MassMessage#Creating_a_page_list, I guess it could be more explicit. [08:39:07] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:DumpHTML&diff=1205222&oldid=852034 [10:47:02] I have problems with ImageMagick. I have it working live but not ony test domain with MW 1.23.3. On thumb.php I get this suspicious error: [10:47:04] FileBackendStore::getFileStat: File mwstore://local-backend/local-thumb/4/41/Test_image.jpg/300px-Test_image.jpg does not exist. [11:30:53] hello [11:31:00] i run my wiki on persian language [11:31:27] so when i want to send link to a guy [11:31:29] it show me [11:31:31] for example [11:32:18] http://parsintelligent.com/wiki/index.php?title=%D8%B3%DB%8C%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%85_HDL-Bus#.D9.86.D8.B1.D9.85_.D8.A7.D9.81.D8.B2.D8.A7.D9.87.D8.A7.DB.8C_.D8.A8.D8.B1.D9.86.D8.A7.D9.85.D9.87_.D8.B1.DB.8C.D8.B2.DB.8C_.D8.B4.D8.A8.DA.A9.D9.87_HDL-Bus [11:32:23] it is not good [11:32:33] could anybody help me to fix this problem [11:32:36] ? [11:32:49] Hello. [11:34:11] could anybody help me???? [11:34:26] There are 3 problems with that URL. One is that you are using index.php?=, which is ugly. (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL explains how to fix that). Another problem is in the page title, it gets copied in %D8 form, you need to find an OS-specific means to resolve that (I work around this using linux style copy-paste (select to copy, middle click to paste). And the last problem, the section name, is not possible to solve to my knowledg [11:35:12] The ".D9" format of the section anchor is coded into the page (there probably is an extension to make it prettier, but I don't know it). [11:37:33] i use parentlink extension [11:37:38] but it is not working [11:37:48] at least %DB is unambiguous - important for a machine-readable identifier like URL [11:38:15] I can copy and paste that and get the page no matter what is my current configuration on IRC and the browser [11:38:20] what do you mean? [11:39:32] Hm. [11:40:42] I can not see how "parent link" extension is relevant so I'll forget about it for now [11:41:45] i read this [11:41:54] but i do not understand ho wcould i change it:( [11:42:03] http://parsintelligent.com/wiki/index.php?title=سیستم_HDL-Bus is how I can copy it from my browser - avoiding the %D8 bits [11:42:39] as I mentioned 3 problems I think we should decide which ones we would like to solve, and which ones we would like to leave as is [11:42:59] after we do that, we should see if we can solve the ones we wanted to [11:43:40] so you mean i should use all solutions [11:43:41] ? [11:44:12] if you like, yes, you can do that [11:44:28] if you do that, go from left to right, first see if you can get the short url working [11:45:58] Svetlana: but now your link has incorrect farsi (characters writte LTR instead of RTL) on my compter [11:47:47] let's see if we can solve the short url problem first, otherwise we'll still be at step 0 in the morning too. I apologize, I didn't need to show random things like that [11:47:54] i read that link, but i do not know what should i do [11:51:04] it probably depends on a number of versions and webserver software [11:51:25] are you using apache? [11:51:37] i use my host [11:57:30] what webserver is it using? [11:57:35] * Svetlana checks special:version [12:00:21] Svetlana: I think his problem is installation of the wiki software in /wiki/ not in, say, /w/ [12:00:21] i am there, how could i find out webserver?? [12:01:50] a part of my problem is that http://parsintelligent.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Version takes forever to load so I'm not sure what instructions to give [12:02:18] I got " [12:02:19] The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Administrators, ordinary." [12:02:29] Special:Version doesn't list webserver [12:02:36] curl -I or some such? [12:03:32] Server: Apache/2.4.9 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_fcgid/2.3.9 [12:03:35] X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.33 [12:08:54] ok you're using apache [12:09:16] see if https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache is useful [12:11:44] ok, let me see [13:50:24] i have a problem. this website keeps redirecting me to some ad page thats different every time [13:50:42] http://rocketpedia.uni.me [13:51:41] the wiki we set up a few years ago [13:52:10] Rocketpedia, the free encyclopedia [13:53:33] my hosting says that the domain doesnt point to the nameservers they use [13:53:52] i checked, and they do [13:54:31] answer: someone hacked my website and made it redirect [13:54:37] :@ [13:57:57] can someone help? [14:01:01] rocketmaster: I spot some weird JS in the page. [14:01:52] looks like domain parking to me [14:02:01] parking [14:02:04] ? [14:02:21] but, the domain is registered! [14:02:42] it should point to my website! [14:02:47] that's also consistent with the DNS records: there are A records to 199.59.243.118, .117, .121, .119 and .120 [14:02:58] those are owned by bodis.com, which is a domain parking agency [14:03:24] someone hacked it! :@@@ [14:03:53] the domain is registered by me! [14:04:08] i registered it myself! [14:04:12] and the dns server for uni.me is also bodis' dns server [14:04:52] so, do i change domains? [14:05:15] how could this have happened?\ [14:05:18] where did you register the domain? [14:05:36] here: http://cz.cc [14:06:08] freebie domain, kinda required on my part [14:06:12] which also seems down [14:06:35] so probably they went out of business and did not renew their domain names [14:06:50] down? the dns server is down? [14:07:02] if I understand correctly, you actually did not register a domain; just the subdomain rocketpedia.uni.me [14:07:17] yes, that one [14:07:51] Right. Well, your free domain registrar seems to have disappeared, so there's not much you can do, other than registering a new domain [14:08:01] fine [14:08:08] I'd suggest registering an *actual* domain, which, although not free, is not crazily expensive [14:08:15] and it gives you a lot more rights as owner [14:08:55] not possible, as i dont possess the funds [14:09:25] cant afford it [14:40:25] using an amazon ELB I'm trying to make sure I use the mediawiki cookies to reroute additional requests to the same machine that performed the login. However I'm not clear on which mediawiki cookie is the right one to use. I see 'dbname_tableprefix_Token' and 'dbname_tableprefix__session' . Can anyone tell me which cookie is a better choice? [14:56:27] Hi. Any trick which must be performed in order to edit the sidebar in 1.23.5? I think i've tried everything now, with no results. Edited "MediaWiki:Sidebar" several times, touched LocalSettings.php, truncated the "objectcache" table, waited a while. Nothing seems to work. [14:58:14] Logged inn as administrator. Default skin. [14:58:20] Any tips for me? [14:59:20] (going home from work - will be back to answer any questions in an hour or two.. ) [14:59:46] cariaso1: you should track both. The "token" one I *think* it's just to check that you have cookies enabled, but just to be safe [15:11:07] Vulpix thanks [15:27:22] JonasHL: What does not work? When at home, look at the Mediawiki:Sidebar page, does it have the changes you made? [16:29:52] I have problems generating thumbs. The debug log says FileBackendStore::getFileStat: File mwstore://local-backend/local-thumb/4/41/Test_image.jpg/300px-Test_image.jpg does not exist. [16:30:22] Paths exist and are writable for the server tho :/ [16:31:44] That message is not an error [16:32:02] its normal if mwstore://local-backend/local-thumb/4/41/Test_image.jpg/300px-Test_image.jpg does not exist (Which is often the case) [16:32:33] e.g. Its the first time anyone has ever viewed the 300px thumbnail, so there is no cached version [16:32:40] Ok. Says more than the frontend: "Error creating thumbnail: Error code: -1" [16:33:57] I described it here but no luck so far https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Error_in_thumbnail_creation_using_MW_1.23.3 [16:34:34] That means image magick (or whatever program you have set up to render) returned a status code of -1 [16:34:36] Hi, does anyone have an idea why my mediawiki's styles disappear every so many refreshes? Must be a caching issue? [16:35:11] Subfader: Can you generate thumbs with image magick when executing the command line things by hand (particularly when logged in as apache user) [16:35:23] usrnix: this may be a problem with requests to load.php failing (server responding with 500 status code) [16:35:39] Subfader: the specific commands used should be in the debug log, you'd just need to replace the file names [16:36:07] Yes we tried that. The command line throws no error [16:36:54] usrnix: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Errors_and_symptoms#The_wiki_appears_without_styles_applied_and_images_are_missing [16:37:30] Subfader: you may need to execute the command as the user running the webserver (usually with the "sudo" command) [16:37:52] Vulpix: THanks [16:38:05] Subfader: Did you check the result of doing echo $? [16:38:07] after [16:38:13] (It should be 0) [16:38:27] And did you use the limit.sh wrapper script? [16:38:29] I'm trying to run mediawiki on nginx, the resources seem a bit limited so far [16:39:23] Ok, trying as user. I stay logged in as root? [16:39:39] bawolff: echo $ after wards returns $ [16:39:54] I mean with the ?, litereally "echo $?" [16:40:26] yep, = = [16:40:28] 0 [16:40:45] 0 = success, so that's good [16:42:07] If your logged in as root, you can become the apache user by doing su www-data [16:42:15] (assuming www-data is the apache user's name) [16:42:59] or just with sudo: sudo -u www-data -g www-data (and the entire command after that) [16:45:08] Vulpix, same. No error, just the Version and man list [16:45:23] version? [16:46:30] Version: ImageMagick 6.6.9-7 2014-03-06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org ... [16:46:50] you mistyped the command, probably [16:47:25] you're supposed to type this: http://dpaste.com/0WX97M5 [16:47:47] with all those quotes [16:48:02] That's what I entered: https://dpaste.de/BOup/raw I copied the command from the error in the debug log WITHOUt the quotes and esacpes, no? [16:48:27] no, the quotes and escapes should be there [16:48:59] in my post on the support desk I forgot to put the entire command inside tags [16:50:40] Ok let's do this safe :) Which command exactly? I have 3 in the log: https://dpaste.de/xZ2f/raw [16:52:54] and does it help much repeating it when "/tmp/transform_2a0459b52bad-1.jpg" is already given? [16:54:09] you need to use the wfShellExec: line, without the wfShellExec: [16:54:42] yes, since it's the command that's consistently failing and we're debugging it [16:55:34] Ok, 3rd is 1st. Both commands with sudo... return nothing and echo 0 [16:56:41] does /tmp/transform_a5f66f9d0695-1.jpg exist? [16:57:16] yep. 2 files even (was only one before) [16:57:24] -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 13461 Oct 3 18:54 transform_2a0459b52bad-1.jpg | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13509 Oct 3 17:25 transform_c0f40ea5b985-1.jpg [16:58:09] that's owned by an interesting user [16:58:28] nice spot [16:59:09] maybe that was a first attempt without running sudo [16:59:14] I copied transform_2a0459b52bad-1.jpg to www and it's a proper thumb [16:59:50] root was me all the times yes [17:00:17] So MW thinks it's bad and flushes it? [17:00:58] try running that command again (but as the www-data user), but with a slightly different filename instead of transform_a5f66f9d0695-1.jpg [17:01:07] no, the command that succeeded for you it's failing when being run by MediaWiki [17:01:15] and run echo $? immediately after too [17:02:16] echo 0 and -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 13461 Oct 3 19:02 transform_foo.jpg [17:03:33] * bawolff has no idea [17:04:11] Subfader: do you have selinux or apparmor or something like that? [17:04:33] Say what? Guess no then :) [17:06:16] So the command is fine but MW is the problem. Could it be PHP? Wiki runs fine tho. It's PHP 5.5.13 with opcache [17:09:03] Hmm, does wfDebugLog( "foo", "..." ) go in the default log now a days? [17:09:30] Could this be confusing? Live: mysite.com/db/thumb.php / Test: test.mysite.com/db/thumb.php [17:10:17] Subfader: I think you might be right about issue with php [17:10:34] * bawolff wonders if process status codes can even be signed [17:10:36] it shouldn't be confusing, unless you messed the paths/urls in your LocalSettings.php [17:10:58] internally we use -1 to mean proc_open() failed and a bunch of other similar conditions [17:11:36] LocalSettings seems fine as wiki works as intended except for thumbs. [17:12:54] Subfader: Could you set [17:13:05] PHP error log reads nothing interesting. [17:13:19] $wgDebugLogGroups['exec'] = '/some/path/writable/by/webserver/exec.log'; [17:13:30] and see if doing that gives you a more interesting log file? [17:15:01] Yes, i definitely think its an issue with php shelling out. -1 isn't a real process exit code [17:16:40] exec.log stays empty after article and thumb.php loads [17:19:52] PHP 5.5.13 is a parallel installation as fastcgi module. I now switched back to 5.3.10 and it works. But I need the newer PHP :/ [17:28:11] I guess that solves it for me now. I can at least continue updating for now. Thank you both for the helping hands! [17:28:46] :) [17:30:37] I then wait for MW to support PHP 5.51.3? I want OPcache cos APC won't run my server [17:35:55] trying 1.22 for the sake of it [17:37:13] check to see if the $wgDebugLogGroups['exec'] = '/some/path/writable/by/webserver/exec.log'; thing works in 1.22, maybe that log type was added recently [17:38:04] alright [17:55:54] 1.22 and a nice error message on Special:Upload: Warning: is_executable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/:/tmp/) in /.../includes/Wiki.php on line 655 [17:56:59] thumbs work fine with PHP 5.5.13 and MW 1.22! Yay! [17:57:51] exec.log still empty [17:58:41] that error sounds familiar [17:59:18] Wiki.php line 655: if ( !wfShellExecDisabled() && is_executable( $wgPhpCli ) ) { [17:59:54] Subfader: I can't recall if 1.22 has 0fa9a391e3ca2e0b2b8f891406f0c884d48c30d0 [18:00:11] wait does the upload not work or just the thumbnails? [18:00:18] if it's the later, then disregard that [18:00:56] upload is fine. everything seems fine in 1.22. Just the basedir error which I don't see in 1.23. But I have a related problem in 1.23. [18:00:59] I suppose if thumbs work you must have been able to upload something (unless that was there from before) [18:01:28] Or stuff fworks cos the installation is fresh and not my old images folder? [18:05:30] I better fix that basedir error? Had it for some curl follow feature as well before while updating here. I don't quite get it tho. info.php reads open_basedir /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/:/tmp/. safe_mode is off too [18:37:06] Hello #mediawiki ! I am using mw 1.23.1 and trying to create my own skin, following the page here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning ..... when I try to login to a test account to view the skin while I am working, I get the following errors: http://pastebin.com/uSUd8u1x [18:37:42] the problem is there is no includes folder yet in my skin and there is as a result no "Skin.php" in my skins include folder [18:50:06] NVM ... mis-spelled the template class name [19:26:16] Got it! $wgCacheDirectory = ""; solves it in 1.23 along with $wgUseFileCache = true; and $wgFileCacheDirectory = "/tmp/cache/mw23"; [19:31:01] That solves your image rendering issue? [19:31:27] because I can't imagine how that could possibly be related [19:34:20] yep. runJobs() in Wiki.php got me. I once needed $wgCacheDirectory = ""; otherwise running jobs for Extension:ReplaceText wouldn't work [19:34:50] I guess thumb creations are no jobs? [19:36:15] Oh shit. Bad luck. The thumbs I tested already existed :( [19:36:26] ENOUGH FOR TODAY. [19:36:28] I totally do that all the time [19:36:33] damn caching [19:57:15] hi, folks. i'm running into the issue described in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8947654/is-there-a-way-to-get-onlyinclude-included-onto-a-mediawiki-page-via-a-templa and wondered if there are any better solutions, or if that solution is considered 'acceptable' [19:57:50] i.e., i want to have foobar show up in a page when it's creating using substitution from a given template [20:00:09] safesubst would be what I would reccomend [20:06:47] Hey adamw: I am not an official helper and not an expert, but I used tags and tags quite some time ago successfully for a very similar function [20:07:24] stbatduke: i've tried wrapping the and in like that, but it seemed to evaluate them all [20:07:34] right [20:07:48] i.e. it meant that the created page *honored* the tags, it didn't just *contain* them [20:07:51] so they cannot be nested, they contradict each other [20:08:20] includeonly will only include it in a transclusion, and not display it when said page is visited normally [20:09:09] onlyinclude will display all of the text on the original page, and then when the page is transcluded it will only show the text within the onlyinclude tags [20:09:45] However: If there are any substitution extensions this functionality could become broken, or at least that has been my experience [20:10:11] stbatduke: For reference, there's no "official" helpers here, don't hesitate to answer any question if you know the answer [20:10:32] bawolff: I have poor wording, I knew that, I only meant to state that I'm not an expert :) [20:10:37] stbatduke: i understand what each tag does in the case of a 'simple' transclusion / substitution [20:10:57] adamw: ok cool, sorry if I over explained there, [20:11:00] i just want to know if there's a good/recommended way to do the slightly odd thing i'm trying to do here :) [20:11:36] so you want a portion that's within includeonly to be the only part transcluded with onlyinclude? [20:11:44] so page "Foo" is created by substituting "Template:Bar", but I want page "Foo" *itself* to contain .... so that when *it* is included (transcluded, in this case) the content displayed will be filtered [20:11:44] because I am pretty sure that nesting breaks the functionality [20:12:00] if you want to see the actual case: [20:12:08] hmmmm [20:12:13] (which is bit complex because there's already some messy nested substitution going on): [20:12:16] are you using substitution AND transclusion? [20:12:33] not yet, but i want to. :) [20:12:33] so: [20:12:34] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_21_Beta_TC1_Base [20:12:35] adamw: On a related note, are you familar with the preload url parameter, it might be of interest based on what you're describing [20:12:47] is created by substituting https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Validation_results [20:12:53] ^^ what bawolff said! [20:13:06] what i'd like is for there to be ... tags around the results table in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_21_Beta_TC1_Base [20:13:27] so i could then create a 'results overview' page by transcluding all the various results pages (there are several) and it would just show their results tables [20:14:09] adamw: Other hacky solution {{safesubst:#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Template:Validation_results||stuff about results table}} [20:14:12] bawolff: nope, i don't believe so, can you point me to some docs? [20:14:26] bawolff: oh, right, i've actually done something like that before... [20:14:30] !preload [20:14:30] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Creating_pages_with_preloaded_text [20:14:56] oh, no, i don't think i want that. at least not for this. [20:14:59] My understanding of how it works is when something is substituted, any transclusion stuff that was in there gets broken since it has been rendered and the transclusion tags are now missing, if that makes sense [20:15:22] stbatduke: i can already do nested transclusion (the template above already does it, in fact) [20:15:31] well yes, nested transclusions [20:15:37] but basically you can add a url parameter like https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_2dfsafsdds1_Beta_TC1_Base?action=edit&preload=Template:Validation_results to make the edit box start off with some text [20:16:01] bawolff: as it happens that's not gonna work here, but thanks [20:16:25] but if you use substitution at any point, the substitution inserts the renderred text as the content of the page instead of leaving the markup alone like transclusion [20:17:12] stbatduke: yes, I do understand that. I realize that what I'm trying to do is somewhat tricky, it just seems like the kind of thing there may be an 'approved' trick for. [20:17:59] bawolff: the results pages aren't really meant to be created by hand and tweaked, they should be generated as non-interactively as possible (I actually have a script that creates them using this template system) [20:18:47] the trick with templates containing the tags that's described in the stackoverflow answer looks like it'd work, i just wondered if there might be something else preferred [20:19:08] I don't think there is [20:19:22] I think at this point the only way to do that at this point is with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion [20:19:37] Labeled section transclusion is an extension that I think can be used to do what you want to do [20:19:39] stbatduke: yeah, i came across that, only thing is I don't own the MW instance :) [20:19:53] stbatduke: I can ask our maintainers to add it, but they might want to wait until they do an upgrade, le sigh [20:19:55] know if LUA is installed on that wiki? [20:19:58] not yet [20:20:03] gotcha [20:20:06] i'm pitching for it to get added [20:20:08] * bawolff has never really liked LST, always seemed really hacky to me [20:20:10] I think those are the only two ways to do it :) [20:20:22] our maintainers are planning a major version bump and kinda delaying new plugins till then [20:20:24] I'm not a fan of LST or LUA either [20:20:25] stbatduke: thanks [20:20:35] * bawolff likes lua though [20:20:39] np, sorry I am not any better help :) [20:20:48] LUA probably wouldn't help in this situation [20:22:06] bawolff: I only don't like LUA because it hurts my brain! I was trying to figure out how wikipedia has their messages system setup to display all of the many "under construction" "this person just died" and other similar kinds of page messages, and my brain exploded trying to read the markup and LUA code that they use for it [20:22:40] pfft, you should of seen it before lua was introduced [20:22:47] really? [20:23:04] scary! [20:23:32] Wikipedians are crazy with their templates [20:23:53] hey, i'm building a damn test management system inside wikipedia here, i think i win the crazy award. :P [20:23:57] er, mediawiki. [20:24:12] adamw: I was thinking to myself, we don't even do that for our tests [20:24:38] bawolff: we've been using it for like 15 releases now, believe it or not [20:24:40] kwality! [20:25:17] the very first wiki 'test matrix' was https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/FC6Test2TreeTesting , i believe. the whole thing's gotten...er...a bit bigger since then. [20:29:22] the funny thing is that in some weird ways, mediawiki makes a really good tcms. so whenever we think about migrating off it, we find a bunch of stuff we'd lose... [20:31:00] yep, you have definitely out-wikied wikimedia on the testing front [20:50:09] heh, I got it. though in a way that only works if you happen to be already using nested transclusion... [20:51:26] the test result matrix template gets ...(tables)... [20:51:49] and the results validation template gets just a dangling after substituting the results table [20:51:53] er, nested substitution, i meant. [20:52:07] that way when the results page is created that substitutes *both* pages, it gets a full set of tags. [20:52:18] i'm an evil genius! [21:15:45] busy day https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bumble_Bee [21:17:43] hmpfUNIQb9bd4562f6a12ab6-nowiki-00000002-QINU https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/2nobib.com [21:19:39] 2nobib.com is a unique website, clearly [21:46:05] hello [21:46:12] I need some MediaWiki help [21:46:37] !ask [21:46:37] Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [21:46:58] okay, so there are two different topics multi-part questions I will explain [21:47:07] hmm, !ask is a bit more passive agressive than I remember it ;) [21:47:14] http://regex101.com/r/iU1lZ8/1 [21:47:22] so here is a regex script somebody made on regex irc [21:47:28] and well I need to make srue it works on AWB regex [21:47:45] then I need to know how exactly could I execute it in the sense of do I need to paste it to advanced find and replace settings [21:47:58] and I also need some help making a script in AWb that it can use as the replace value [21:48:07] though the only thing is I was told regex wouldn't work the way it is [21:48:12] for the way I needed it to replace [21:48:40] I think there's an autowikibrowser specific irc channel which might have more knowlagable people on the subject [21:48:44] #autowikibrowser [21:48:53] yes I was there bt [21:48:57] they are old no-response [21:49:03] hmm, guess that's not that busy of a channel [21:49:13] the AbuseFilter question perhaps, I asked wikipedia-en, sent me to help [21:49:16] nobody could help me there [21:49:41] what's the abuse filter question? [21:49:41] I want to use the village pump as a last resort since I don;t use wikipedia much and may not be able to track answers very well [21:50:03] okay so two things, or the first thing how can I make a message on the abusefilter that [21:50:10] or make it have message when you trigger it [21:50:16] Superdadsuper: are you sure the regex doesn't Just Work? [21:50:30] with a message I can put, I haven't tested it yet, but I want to make sure it works [21:50:35] the regex itself was tested on [21:50:36] Superdadsuper: if it doesn't, then at a glance, i think you just need to remove the named groups [21:50:38] regex101.com [21:50:55] and then I need a way to make a script in the [21:50:59] replace thing [21:51:00] and just used the match numbers if you want to use this for search and replace [21:51:46] i haven't used awb for ages, though [21:52:00] well I am guessing with the size of the script I need to [21:52:05] use the advanced thing on awb [21:53:07] I was recommended by one to askt he wikipedia village pump so what about the abusefilter, because it seems difficult to find help or people who know how ot use it through the irc channels [21:53:19] the advanced thing of find and replace [21:54:09] since I cannot seem to find much help in the four or 5 channels I have checked [21:54:14] where else could I get help?? [21:54:15] Abuse filter has an option to specify the action to take if something matches the filter, you can chose show message as an action [21:54:51] okay I am not very advanced with abusefilters, had the VSTF on Wikia setup for me since I use Wikia let me link you the Abusefilter so you can give it me to in syntax context [21:54:58] and I would liek the regex I provided earlier to [21:55:05] perhaps be put in somehow where? [21:55:08] f you put that in [21:55:26] then it says you cannot use it, so the one n awb would be for finding it, AbuseFilter would prevent it [21:55:57] http://bible.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter [21:56:10] the only one listed is the one I need a way to add a message to [21:57:08] so for answer a first how could I add the message in that abusefilter 1 [21:58:31] that filter probably needs a re-write, or needs to be written differently but something for another day [21:59:06] right now it does its job [21:59:42] and well if needs to be expanded I will make sure that happens, but Bawolff you know the syntax where and how I could add for a message? [21:59:53] and then how I could take the regex I wanted in AWB and make it into a filter [21:59:56] for in context stuff [22:01:47] Superdadsuper: At http://bible.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/1 , see the checkbox for "Trigger these actions after giving the user a warning" [22:02:30] okay [22:02:52] now do I need to create a mediawiki page type the name of it in there [22:02:59] or a mediawiki page witht he message [22:03:50] yes [22:04:03] correct? [22:05:23] hm? [22:05:25] oh okay [22:16:47] I guess I will be back tommmorow see if I can get some help them [22:16:49] then
