[09:25:22] ori: :) [09:25:47] ori: speaking of which, you fought with double compression before; do you have tips? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Performance_tuning [09:26:13] It's really silly that many mediawikis out there don't gzip their JavaScript... especially in recent releases where we ship so much of it [09:38:24] Hi, is there any way to add a specific background to a single page? [09:38:47] Additionally, any way there's a way to do this for a namespace? [09:39:21] Hello ! I want to contribute through python programming. As of now i only know basic python and it's oop concepts. Could anyone here please guide me? [09:45:43] RndMA: background as in colour? [09:46:01] iamutkarsh: have you tried reading https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker ? [09:47:38] iamutkarsh: once you've gone through the tutorial, you can jump on http://old-bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=easy%2C &keywords_type=allwords&order=Importance&product=Pywikibot&query_format=advanced&resolution=--- [09:48:04] Nemo_bis: Thank You sir ! I will surely g through it and try to give my best . :) [09:49:19] Nemo_bis: Yes, precisely [09:50:24] RndMA: you can check it.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css [09:50:47] Which has different background for Help, Project and Progetto namespaces [09:51:20] Thanks. That's one thing sorted. Is there some thing for pages themselves also? [09:54:40] Nemo_bis: Sir i dont have any python app developement background . [09:57:03] iamutkarsh: doesn't matter, the "easy" bugs are stuff you should be able to figure out after reading a python tutorial and perhaps the docs of the specific functions involved [10:00:19] With some effort, of course [10:04:11] Quite silly looking https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates [17:16:11] hello. i have a rather small wiki. is there a "extension free" way to display all categories and their article tiles in a hierarchical tree? [17:18:01] HellTiger: no [17:18:09] HellTiger: By hand. Otherwise I don't think so [17:18:46] mh then i go for Extension:CategoryTree [17:18:53] but maybe it doesnt cover articles. lets see [17:23:40] ok, this will take for ever. [17:23:52] is there a way to display the content of {{Special:Categories}} on a other page? [17:25:59] HellTiger: have you tried just typing "{{Special:Categories}}" on some page? that works for many special pages [17:26:49] MatmaRex: i have a link to this page then, but not directly its content [17:27:22] hmm, then that probably doesn't work for this page :( [18:54:13] Hi guys! [18:54:49] I have seen a request at the Support Desk, where someone asked, why the tool server (or parts of it like https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/articleinfo/index.php?article=MediaWiki:Histlegend&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia ) [18:55:01] are down. [18:55:25] Who is responsible for this page: https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/articleinfo/index.php ? [18:56:58] Meaning: Who would be the one whom onecan help to make it work again? [19:01:19] Joerg, not mediawiki [19:01:41] Krenair: ? [19:01:46] you are in #mediawiki [19:01:51] Joerg: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ <-- maintainers list here [19:01:53] i have run "deleteArchivedRevisions.php --delete" but i still have a page in a category, how can i delete it from there? [19:01:55] not the place to ask about *.wmflabs.org [19:02:27] HellTiger_NB: Do you mean that the category shows a page, which you have deleted? [19:02:37] yes Joerg [19:03:13] HellTiger_NB: There is a maintenance script, which can rebuild the content of the category pages. I think it was called something like rebuild..... [19:03:25] ah thx. [19:03:51] i just did rebuildall.php [19:03:58] this did the trick! [19:04:11] HellTiger_NB: Nice! [19:05:07] Krenair: Articleinfo is not in that list... [19:05:18] what list? [19:05:55] oh, the link that ori posted? [19:06:03] that's because you're looking for 'xtools', not articleinfo [19:08:18] Krenair, ori: Got it! Thanks! [19:08:45] still not on-topic for this chanell [19:08:52] channel* [19:11:28] I already helped a HellTiger today; I'm allowed to ask here! :-p [20:30:51] So errr [20:30:53] question [20:30:55] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Using_custom_namespaces#I.27mma_confuddled_about_namespace_order [20:31:11] I'm trying to get two namespaces (a namespace and its talk namespace) to be right next to each other [20:35:38] is there any efficient way to do this? [20:36:02] Master_: "next to each other" in what sense? where? [20:36:16] http://masterceadeus.hostyd.net/mhf/index.php/Special:RecentChanges [20:36:25] the dropdown should have them beside one another [20:36:28] errr hmm [20:36:34] Glitch should be above Glitch talk [20:36:42] I think namespaces are usually listed by the natural order of their numeric IDs, so the talk NS would always be next to the content NS, since the ID would be one higher [20:36:47] kinda like how User and User talk are aligned [20:37:02] what id did you give the namespaces? [20:37:02] mhm [20:37:06] 500 [20:37:11] and 501 [20:37:17] so it very well should be ordered right o.O [20:37:35] to me it looks like you got to 501 thing wrong, and assigned 1 instead. [20:37:46] a typo or copy/paste error somewhere [20:38:07] oh, even better [20:38:15] you didn't define the constant (or you mistyped it) [20:38:21] Master_: see http://masterceadeus.hostyd.net/mhf/index.php/Special:Export/Home [20:38:27] oh [20:38:33] the namespace ID should be numeric. but it's "NS_GLITCH_TALk" [20:38:58] i guess it's the lower-case k :) [20:39:19] which of these lines should remain unchanged, or what should be done with them? [20:39:20] define("NS_GLITCH", 500); define("NS_GLITCH_TALK", 501); $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_GLITCH] = "Glitch"; $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_GLITCH_TALK] = "Glitch talk"; // underscore required. use it to separate all words in the title of namespace [20:40:02] they look fine to me [20:40:11] but your wiki tells me that this isn't what you are actually using. [20:40:45] seems like you somewhere (also?) have $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_GLITCH_TALk] = "Glitch talk"; [20:40:51] looks nearly the same, but isn't. [20:41:03] NS_GLITCH_TALk is undefined, and will default to it's own name. [20:41:21] ok [20:41:50] shouldn't be a PHP error? PHP sucks [20:42:05] it's a php "notice", i think [20:42:26] http://prntscr.com/59fbd5 so which of these lines should be fixed? [20:43:03] again, they look fine, but they are not what your wiki is actually using [20:43:17] hmm [20:43:23] dunno why [20:43:48] i sometimes tried to debug a few lines of config for hours, only to discuver that they are overwritten some pages dfown in the config file, and the error was down there... [20:44:05] errr whoops [20:44:08] I made a dumb mistake [20:44:12] I forgot to save the code in my editor [20:44:13] does any one know how to get "Marker title and description" for maps extension? http://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Maps_examples/Google_Maps_marker_title_and_description&action=edit&redlink=1 [20:44:21] so the change was never ever imported to the wiki [20:44:35] ayyyyyyyyep. that fixed it [20:44:44] So how would I get it to be closer to main/ [20:44:50] I guess not make the id so high, right? [20:49:17] ty all [20:59:45] can some one give a hint or suggest some howto how to embed google maps with location popup description and terrian? [21:01:52] !maps [21:01:52] Maps is an awesome MediaWiki extension that provides the ability to dynamically visualize geographic data in your wiki pages and handle geographical data. See . Also try !sm [21:01:55] Huh. [21:02:03] I didn't think that would work [21:02:31] yes, maps replaced google maps extension [21:02:32] HellTiger_NB: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Maps [21:02:35] Yeah. [21:02:40] but the documentation isnt as it should be [21:02:41] Was that not what you wanted? [21:02:43] Ah. [21:02:57] i cant configure my link as it should be shown, the docs link is red, not filled [21:03:19] i want a popup with the adress, the most important feature. [21:03:35] Well, I don't really know [21:03:39] and if possible as terrain view. in the new google maps you cant see terrain anymore [21:03:43] Maybe there's an OSM solution that's more better? [21:03:51] but in the mediawiki embed extension you can. this is cracy [21:04:08] yes i searched http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_map_services [21:04:21] yahoo and bing doesnt have terrain [21:14:31] how could i gather all ==example== of all pages in the wiki? [21:14:40] display all of them in one page [21:45:55] duh. can i get categories into __FORCETOC__ , the page has categories but the contents doesnt show them [21:51:53] hey there [21:52:33] i'm having a trouble - all my http:// links produce http//, how to fix that? [21:56:09] ...anyone? [22:01:17] aolko: Did you modify $wgUrlProtocols by any chance? [22:01:56] 'http://', [22:02:09] actually, i extended it [22:02:38] and now it happens only in the template [22:03:07] if that's not it, then no idea. sorry. [22:04:38] :( [22:05:02] http://wiki.m1itv.ru/wiki/%D0%90%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2-%D0%9C%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B0 the problem place is on the right [22:05:08] in the template [22:05:34] http://wiki.m1itv.ru/index.php?title=%D0%A8%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD:%D0%A2%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BB&action=edit template itself [22:07:03] aolko: I searched the page source, but the string 'http//' is not found. Everything looks alright. [22:07:57] click that [22:08:31] http://i.imgur.com/mLCWQGK.png [22:11:40] aolko: could be something with Шаблон:Форматирование сайта [22:19:55] Hiya! Another question. lol [22:20:37] So, upon the creation of a page in the Glitch namespace, I'd like a template to be inserted in the editing window for the user to complete. Is there any way in MediaWiki to effectively do this? [22:20:56] (without going through a button kind of thing with like ?preload=Foo) [23:07:17] Hi, Im' trying to troubleshoot mediawiki not sending out emails to new users, and i have no clue where to start. can anyone point me in the right direction? [23:07:26] humm [23:07:36] I didn't even know MW natively sent out new user emails [23:12:10] how about for a password reminder then [23:12:32] whatever the option, emails aren't being sent [23:27:29] question [23:27:44] On my Glitch namespace, I'd like a template to be preloaded upon creation of a page in that namespace [23:27:44] hoooow [23:43:43] how do I correct could not extract the package.xml file from "/build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/Mail-1.2.0.tgz" [23:44:18] Geo: in which context? steps? [23:46:19] pear install MAIL Net_SMTP [23:52:28] Geo: errm, how is that related to MediaWiki?
