[00:03:53] andre__: setting up mail stuff [00:26:24] question [00:27:03] I deleted mediawiki from my website after saving it to my comp (it had been working pretty great but then I... er... broke it) and re-uploaded it [00:27:08] what would cause it not to work? [00:27:15] would that render it inherently broken? [00:29:29] sorry, you're not being clear [00:29:31] did not work? [00:51:10] well I mean [00:51:17] http://masterceadeus.hostyd.net/w/ [00:51:26] clearly is empty [00:53:30] weelll [00:53:37] not empty but certainly devoid of wiki [01:39:42] !bug1 [05:11:35] Hello ! I am new to open source developement . I know python programming and it's oops concepts, how can contribute to mediawiki? [08:10:20] hello total newbie just installed mediawiki here, i wonder how do you start on building template and why some template on existing sites are so astoundingly complex [08:11:13] for example this 'height' template which i absolutely cannot interpret https://dpaste.de/LYEU [11:42:48] pikaren: templates that do math tend to be very complex, and that template appears to be converting between units too [13:00:08] Hallo. [13:00:47] Lately if I try to read Wikipedia in any language from Chrome using HTTPS, the skin is not really shown. Looks like CSS isn't loaded, or something along these lines. [13:01:07] It works OK in http, and works well in Firefox in both http and https. [13:01:12] Does this happen to anybody else? [13:22:39] do you get any mixed content warningas [13:34:01] zuzak: I get this in the console: [13:34:03] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P106 [13:40:59] aharoni: are you on your home internet connection? [13:41:33] Betacommand: I'm not sure what do you mean by that, but I'm connecting from my home. [13:42:09] wifi, adsl, and the ISP is the Hebrew University (my SO is a PhD student there) [13:42:14] aharoni: OK, I know some organizations have issues with HTTPS [13:42:30] curious that it's only in Chrome [13:42:51] aharoni: crome is known for being flaky at times [13:45:31] well, I'm sticking to Firefox usually because Chrome has lots of i18n bugs that are unbearable to me, [13:45:56] but lots of people do prefer Chrome, and if Wikipedia doesn't work over HTTPS, that's a pretty big issue. [13:46:02] but maybe it's just myself?.. [13:47:43] aharoni: its an isolated issue [15:17:49] hey andre__ we don't have any phabricator channel right? [15:17:54] I guess we can speak here [15:18:03] petan, hey. #wikimedia-devtools [15:18:08] aha ok [15:26:48] #yetanotherfuckingchannel [15:46:08] <^d> marktraceur: Wanna start a new channel for people who get mad about new channels? [15:46:17] Sounds like I just did [15:48:58] ^d if you connect to irc using telnet, output of all channels will be merged in 1 nice window [15:49:10] no more channel issues :P [15:49:15] so nice [16:19:41] hola! [16:19:53] got a quick question about eval.php [16:20:34] what is the code or command to retrieve a page and output it? [16:35:53] hi! I am looking for a wiki soft to enable collaboration on document translation, i was wondering if one can set up your wiki so that there was a master document and translation in the same divided window? Perhaps there is a plugin to enable parallel scrolling? [16:37:02] ko3t: there is the Translate extension which sort of has that [16:37:04] !e Translate [16:37:04] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate [16:38:00] ko3t: that page itself is translateable, so you can see how it works – https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Extension%3ATranslate&language=pl&action=page&filter= [16:38:15] cool, thank you! [17:18:38] qgil_: Hi! Are you around? [17:21:10] Hi, I have installed gitlab in my VM server, how I could install now mediawiki in the same server? [17:42:04] Wilfredor: Why does the usual way of installing not work? [17:42:54] tale: because nginx stop httpd service [17:47:58] hello [17:49:44] Wilfredor: How could Mediawiki work if there is no http server? [17:52:13] tale: That makes no sense. [17:52:29] Unless you're trying to run it over gopher:// or something [17:52:38] But I doubt that will work very well [17:53:06] yes [17:53:52] tale: you could try run mediawiki compiling php code with c++ and run directly the bin file [17:56:12] ...why [18:10:53] can i disable has joined/quit messages ? [18:11:23] nakinlaulu: sure, in your irc client [18:11:33] nakinlaulu: /j #freenode [18:11:55] i've loginned through webchat [18:12:31] nakinlaulu: you could install Xchat [18:13:45] nakinlaulu: This is not a help channel for IRC, please try #freenode or the channel for whatever client you choose [18:14:28] anyone on? [18:14:38] !ask | srynearson [18:14:38] srynearson: 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. :) [18:15:32] I'm a bit new to the working of mediawiki, but I've discovered a hack in our system. What is happening is False user are creating accounts and posting spam pages. [18:15:43] What the best resource to resolve this? [18:15:49] srynearson: That's not really a hack, it's just a fact of life. [18:15:51] !spam | srynearson [18:15:52] srynearson: For information about combating and handling spam in MediaWiki, see and . [18:16:36] I've found them listed in data/courses_wiki.sqlite. Dirty dogs. [18:18:01] do you suggest removing them from the sqlite file, or will that create other issue unknown to me? [18:18:59] srynearson: Use Extension:Nuke to do it, accessing the database without assistance is probably not the best course of action [18:19:05] !e Nuke | srynearson [18:19:05] srynearson: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke_ [18:19:47] okay, I'll review these pages. Thanks for your help all. [18:22:56] "all" :) [18:37:32] hi guillom [18:38:42] qgil_: hi! I've made a few minor tweaks to your blog post. Would you like to take a look before I add it to WordPress? https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Blog%2FDrafts%2FWelcome_Phabricator%2C_our_new_collaboration_platform&diff=10630003&oldid=10626959 [18:38:48] I'm adding the images in the meantime. [18:40:13] ok... [18:40:16] wait [18:40:38] I'm adding the images; we have time :) [18:42:31] guillom, looks good! These diffs are like an English nano-lesson. :) [18:42:43] qgil_: :) [18:56:34] .desc [19:05:52] i recently moved a wiki and am now getting "Error: Module:Navbar:26: bad argument #1 to 'sub' (string expected, got nil) [19:06:07] on my pages using Module:Navbar [19:06:42] did I likely break my Lua install? [19:07:09] does anyone know why these tests breaks? [19:07:11] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/175480 [19:08:54] Amir1: https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/mediawiki-phpunit/456/console [19:11:37] I read it but I couldn't get what is wrong [19:12:29] qgil_: It's out! http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/11/24/welcome-to-phabricator-wikimedias-new-collaboration-platform/ [19:12:44] qgil_: It's also featured on the blog's main page: http://blog.wikimedia.org/ [19:13:05] Now adding it to Tech News so I can sent it, then I'll post to social media [19:13:13] guillom: congrats :) [19:13:36] Amir1: Congrats go to qgil_. I'm just a scribe :) [19:13:57] Amir1: there's a syntax error in your sql file [19:13:57] congrats to all who were involved :) [19:14:03] Amir1: By the way, I owe you an email. I haven't forgotten :) [19:14:14] guillom: good thanks :) [19:14:39] legoktm: hey :) I'm not that good in sql so is there any kind of help to see that? [19:15:41] I'm not really sure myself. [19:16:42] I'm not sure but I think the last comma shouldn't be there [19:16:46] let's check [20:00:52] guillom, sorry for late reply: THANK YOU! [20:10:55] qgil_: sure :) [22:09:30] Hey [22:11:11] Hi annoymouse, what's up? [22:11:21] I could use some help using the API [22:11:29] annoymouse: OK, what are you trying to do? [22:12:06] I'm trying to get a list of articles matching a search and display their titles as well as a snippet of their contents [22:12:23] annoymouse: And what do you have so far for your query? [22:12:31] I also need to pageids as I would like the user to be able to open a full copy of the page [22:12:51] So it seems that I need the action=query&list endpoint [22:12:59] annoymouse: What site are you using? [22:13:10] marktraceur: Wikipedia. Sorry for not specifying sooner [22:13:16] Which Wikipedia? [22:13:22] (Whichipedia?) [22:13:31] marktraceur: English? [22:13:35] Ah, OK, one sec. [22:13:37] Is that what you're asking? [22:14:12] annoymouse: So you're looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bsearch right? [22:15:30] marktraceur: I was actually looking at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Search, but they seem to have the same contents [22:16:38] annoymouse: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srwhat=text&srsearch=meaning&srprop=snippet with a bit of tweaking [22:17:01] annoymouse: To link to the article, just use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ and append the title of the page. [22:17:36] marktraceur: Ah. So I don't need the pageids! [22:17:45] That's been the part that has been confusing me [22:17:56] Indeed. [22:18:13] You could use them to link to a specific version, but page IDs aren't used for much else. [22:18:22] marktraceur: And I should just spaces in the page title to underscores? [22:18:28] You can [22:18:32] *replace [22:18:43] marktraceur: If I don't it won't be a valid URL [22:18:45] I think Wikipedia is smart enough to do that for you [22:18:54] annoymouse: You could just URL-encode the title. [22:18:57] I'll do it anyway just to be safe [22:19:10] marktraceur: Okay. Thanks [22:19:11] Because there's already a method or twenty for that in every language [22:19:15] I'll probably be back soon [22:19:47] marktraceur: Actually one last question. Is there a way to get just the text of a page without any html tags? [22:20:54] annoymouse: Sure...I think it's action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content [22:30:34] marktraceur: That still has some formatting. I just want the plaintext [23:48:59] is this correct? http://prntscr.com/59txfa [23:49:05] for extension MediaWikiChat [23:57:45] pls help
