[05:59:57] can i get a little nudge in the right direction on the docs? I'm looking to match AD Security groups with Administrator groups in Mediawiki. We currently use LDAP auth plugin and it's working, but no way is apparent to match certain LDAP groups to MW groups [06:01:30] like they can log in currently, contribute, edit, but no administrators [08:32:54] hi. i would like to rename File: into Image: what's the best approach? Change the Mediawiki: setting? A language file? [10:29:53] My mediawiki wiki broke..... and I have no idea how to fix it [10:30:12] does it have any errors showing? [10:31:41] That I dont have permission to do anything at all on it now [10:35:46] http://hypotheticalhurricaneswiki.webatu.pw/index.php?title=Main_Page [10:36:29] That is what I'm talking about [10:38:43] Is it fixable or is it stuck like that? [11:09:04] gi11es: opinions? https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/About_MediaWiki:Apihelp-upload-param-stash/sv [11:10:29] Nemo_bis: suggested fix is correct [11:11:04] Nemo_bis: can translatewiki affect the english definition through the git bot, or would we have to write a commit to fix it? [11:12:58] gi11es: needs a patch [11:13:13] https://translatewiki.net/wiki/FAQ#Improving_the_English_source_message [14:36:17] info anustart [14:36:23] woops. [14:36:30] wrong window [14:37:40] Ohai cathfolant. :) [15:23:03] for anyone familiar with the api, is it possible for it to return data.links where data is the returned result (in json) [15:23:10] or rather is links a valid key [15:26:16] onei: Which API module? There are a lot of different return values. [15:26:25] action=parse [15:26:29] onei: Also, what is "links" supposed to contain? [15:26:40] no idea, I'm fixing up an old script [15:27:12] normally it's data.action.whatever or data.error, I've never come across data.links [15:27:14] onei: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Project:Sandbox&prop=links maybe? [15:27:55] It'd be data.parse.links, but whatever. [15:27:59] I think so, but that's a key within parse [15:28:32] I can't think of why there would be data.links...oh, maybe there are two actions [15:28:43] I think that's what it's supposed to be, but I didn't want to change it without being sure [15:28:52] nope, it's just a action=parse on the api call [15:29:10] Hm, then yeah, I'd suggest just fixing it [15:29:25] cool, thanks for the help :) [15:29:41] No problem [17:33:55] hi. [17:35:06] Hi [20:23:55] can anyone help me understand the differences between these four Bootstrap adaptations for MediaWiki? http://www.reddit.com/r/mediawiki/comments/2m5lkp/what_is_the_difference_between_these_various/ [20:24:20] i'm not super familiar with bootstrap or mediawiki, i just know that bootstrap makes things pretty, as a general rule [20:31:28] heh [20:31:43] TIL there's a mediawiki subreddit. [20:36:11] also, TIL there are 4 bootstrap adaptions [20:36:24] Maybe the third party extension community isn't as dead as I thought it was [20:38:52] kxra: I'd try https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Bootstrap first (I've never used it, but I've at least heard of the name of the author) [20:41:57] eww, some redditor took my username [20:43:38] o.O [20:43:44] there's another bawolff somewhere out there! [20:43:59] I don't know who he is, but I already don't like him [20:44:20] He doesn't even use the account: http://www.reddit.com/user/bawolff [20:44:57] * bawolff registered bawolff_ [20:55:27] hmm, does reddit totally fail without js... [21:09:17] bawolff: okay cool [21:09:23] I'm still curious about the differences though [21:12:04] I don't really know what the difference is, the fact there are four of them probably means they are all not great so various people have re-invented the wheel [21:15:08] bawolff: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/173098/1 [21:16:36] * bawolff looks [21:20:04] bawolff: ah, okay well do you know why one of them is an extension while the rest are skins? [21:20:20] like what difference that makes on how they work / what they are able to do [21:20:43] From a technical prespective, skins and extensions are basically the same [21:20:54] Its more the humans who like to think that they are different [21:21:38] well, [21:21:45] pre 1.25 they were actually different [21:22:12] * bawolff will conceede its a disputed point [21:22:14] <^d> There were sort of second-class extensions. [21:22:16] <^d> :) [21:22:31] <^d> Separate but equal and all ;-) [21:23:07] Other than the loading hack for skins/Foo.php, I'm not sure how they were all that different [21:23:11] <^d> bawolff: That's a good question about 🌻 :p [21:23:16] <^d> I haven't tried! [21:23:26] the autoloader made them different [21:24:08] yeah, but if I remember correctly you could ignore the weird autoloader behaviour if you wanted to, it was only triggered as a fallback (I think) [21:24:20] <^d> We can agree it was a mess :p [21:24:31] yes :) [21:24:47] <^d> Sadly, I'm already importing MediaWiki as MW [21:26:02] realistically, 🌻 would get old fast if I had to type it all the time [21:27:11] <^d> I'd have to resort to copy+pasting it. [21:27:12] <^d> :) [21:28:26] <^d> bawolff: Too be fair, if we can use those unicode chars then naming becomes less an issue. We'll just give out people's favorite unicode first-come-first-served :) [21:28:59] <^d> I'm really curious now. I'm going to blow up beta and try :p [21:29:29] Maybe we could give timed media handler the callsign 💩 [21:29:51] <^d> Aw boo. [21:29:53] <^d> "The callsign must contain only UPPERCASE letters." [21:29:59] <^d> It must do a check for [A-Z]+ [21:30:22] lame [21:31:48] given all the avatars, and memes in phabricator, I'm surprised they aren't on board with emoji [22:04:26] i guess i can actually just try all four bootstrap adaptations to see them in action [22:08:26] kxra: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Bootstrap is an extension to Mediawiki that provides the Bootstrap framework to skins, i.e. you can not just install it and expect Bootstrap features to work [22:09:26] However, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Chameleon is a skin that makes use of that extension and with that installed and enabled you can use Bootstrap features [22:14:10] FoxT: interesting! thank you for that info. so it seems like the other links are skins that use bootstrap, but the bootstrap extension seems to be a better system to allow for many skins to use it [22:14:29] use it without having to re-implement it on their won [22:14:31] own* [22:15:17] kxra: Well, I would agree, of course, other skin developers might not. :P [23:04:54] Hi - does anyone know how to have the search box in another location in the main page? Something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Main_Page_alternative_(Search_Box)
