[00:40:52] Can anybody help me? A user in Turkish Wikipedia cleaning all pages and redirecting them to other namespaces. https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96zel:Katk%C4%B1lar/K%C4%B1r%C4%B1m_alkoll%C3%BC [00:42:58] Mavrikant, wrong channel [00:44:13] somebody must stop this. There is no online admin in TR wiki [00:44:55] #wikimedia-stewards ? [03:13:28] Bonjour! [03:13:47] And, you know, hello and stuff. [03:16:35] Anyone here? [03:32:21] Hi phanto. [04:46:14] * GPHemsley wonders why the MediaWiki release announcements run on a different calendar than everyone else in the world [04:48:13] GPHemsley: How do you mean? [09:03:36] "Wednesday, November 27th" - so will it be out today or tomorrow ? :) [11:34:32] Carmela, Richlv: Indeed, the last few pre-release announcements have had a mismatch between day and date. [12:38:42] Oh, yeah, Mark doesn't own a proper calendar, apparently. [12:50:19] marktraceur i would like to work on wikimedia interface.. [12:51:01] i think we can improvise our interface much more.. [12:53:10] You mean MediaWiki? [12:58:19] gvaibhavraj2, would you like to elaborate a bit on your ideas? [13:01:55] andre i mean the design part of the interface can be upgraded .. [13:02:05] would you like to elaborate a bit on your ideas? [13:04:05] "can be upgraded" can mean a lot of things. "Making it pink" could be an "upgrade" but I doubt that it's a good idea, for example. [13:05:20] lyk although present design of wikimedia is decent but it seems so dull and so mainstream..using more js and css..we can have a proper design and wrk on it..just i got a strike in my mind today about it..so i just put it up.. [13:10:31] gvaibhavraj2: Have you tried other skins? [13:11:52] G_SabinoMullane..nopes srry i would do it..i hv just started actually [13:13:27] can u assign me a particular beginner level bug.i will be grateful.. [13:17:19] gvaibhavraj2, I recommend https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs (but I still need to update the links; we moved to a new bugtracker this weekend) [13:17:42] if you want to get into coding, there are many helpful links [13:18:09] I went through the list but m not getting which way to proceed..could u suggest me a particular bug? [13:33:42] ?? [13:34:24] gvaibhavraj2_: Hi there [13:34:32] gvaibhavraj2_: What do you want to work on? [13:34:56] i am easy with php in backend and front-end languages [13:35:13] You watch out for PHP, he's only got one thing on his mind. [13:35:26] gvaibhavraj2_: OK, fair enough...but what *interests* you? [13:35:47] I would like to work on mediawiki interface [13:36:24] That's a very broad statement [13:36:45] gvaibhavraj2_: Which interface? The API? Frontend code that makes Ajax clients? Backend code that builds most of the interface? [13:37:16] gvaibhavraj2_: you either need to find a bug yourself, or be way more clear which specific field you are interested in [13:37:16] Backend code [13:37:20] ah :) [13:37:37] gvaibhavraj2_: OK then. Let me see if I can trim down them thar buglist. [13:37:52] ya thnx a ton.pls let me know asap [13:40:52] andre__: I don't suppose there's a way to query "in project X AND in one of projects Y, Z, or Q"? [13:41:22] have you tried "in all projects: X && in any of the projects y,Z,Q" ? [13:41:30] Uhhh [13:41:39] yayaya! [13:41:40] andre__: I don't see either of those fields [13:41:52] marktraceur, which random interwebs page are you on? [13:41:57] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/advanced/ [13:42:07] Apparently there are two search pages [13:42:10] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/search/query/eG0yhhO6zWBf/#R [13:42:13] yeah [13:42:18] you're on the global Phab one. [13:42:25] I'm in the Maniphest bugtracker one [13:42:31] global = also code review etc [13:42:55] Got it. [13:43:04] I wonder how to make that more obvious :-/ [13:44:11] gvaibhavraj2_: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/6X6TIsslnLfT/#R should be helpful [13:44:20] Just a guess at things that might be interesting to you [13:45:24] ok..the links with the bugs "patch for review" have been fixed already ryt..?? [13:46:04] Hm, yes [13:46:06] One sec [13:46:44] gvaibhavraj2_: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/8T7Fha50LWIk/#R wow much smaller [13:47:21] ook [13:55:48] gvaibhavraj2_: Does any of that look interesting? [13:56:27] yups i m looking for heading/summary with the same id field [13:57:30] i.e bug no. T28312 [13:58:07] Cool!

[16:09:10] Hello, do you happen to know off the top of your head which extension would allow people to put "file://" links into the MediaWiki (context: Enterprise Wiki, is supposed to link to files on Samba shares) [16:10:29] ManDay: Uhhh, don't do that. :P [16:10:37] I think someone has asked this before [16:13:05] markSWATteur: Why would I not want that? We trust our employees :-P [16:13:29] ManDay: Yes, but their browsers don't trust MediaWiki [16:13:34] Because let's face it [16:13:39] It's programmed by a bunch of degenerates [16:17:03] * Reedy high fives markSWATteur [16:18:41] www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileProtocolLinks#Link_to_a_file_on_a_fileserver_on_your_LAN [16:18:45] Faggots [16:19:07] ManDay: Hey, no need for the language. [16:19:16] what? no high five for me? [16:19:17] !filelink [16:19:17] To allow local file:///xxx links, use $wgUrlProtocols[] = "file:"; See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUrlProtocols for more information. Beware that several browsers do not allow file urls on pages loaded via http. Also note that most browsers do not support "remote file" urls like file://server/share [16:19:22] Huh! [16:19:24] TIL. [16:19:33] TIL2! [16:19:52] most browsers don't [16:19:54] sooo... [16:20:03] i guess our employees are mostly using IE6 or something [16:20:07] so everything is good! [16:20:11] That may be sufficiently broken, yes [16:20:23] perfect [16:20:37] "mostly using IE6" and "everything is good" are two strings rarely in proximity to each other [16:21:06] zuzak: Indeed, I hit several internal parser errors in reading those lines. [16:21:21] you obviously don't understand corporate logic [16:21:45] "Is it barely working?" "Well, yes, but" "PERFECT!!!" [16:24:52] someone suffers from a lack of humour it appears [16:30:33] ManDay: Why d'you say that? [16:31:04] marktraceur: Cause I get the feeling someone didn't get the joke [16:31:12] Uhhh...kay [16:52:07] FYI https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/wikiteam-discuss/EFpO3PHpGb0 [16:52:37] This time, whenever I find a non-boring wiki I'll immediateòy report to ^d [16:58:18] heh marktraceur , thanks [16:59:05] is it possible to get content of multiple pages in single request using MediaWiki API? [17:00:16] rishy: Yes. [17:00:17] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=API|Main%20Page&rvprop=timestamp|user|comment|content [17:18:44] @marktraceur: is it possible to use the content in wikitext format? [17:18:47] Ah, you had already asked here ^^ [17:19:10] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Parsing_wikitext can be improved [17:19:12] Ohhh. [17:19:30] rishy: You want to use an API call in a wiki page? [17:19:40] I don't think that's possible...or easy [17:19:46] He wants the expanded wikitext [17:20:03] You could probably 1. create a template with special markup output 2. use a gadget to load the parsed wikitext into the page [17:20:06] But that sounds...bad [17:23:42] rishy: the docs probably lie, you'll have to test multiple combinations of the parameters and then fix the docs :) [17:24:01] Is ActiveUsers broken in master perhaps? Way less users than there should be https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Special:ActiveUsers [17:25:02] @Nemo_bis: I'll try to check out if there is any possible way to get around this [17:28:36] @marktraceur You could also use something like the External Data extension to read an api query string in. [17:29:01] https://clkoerner.com/2013/05/03/mediawiki-statistics-and-panics-status-board/ [17:29:02] Widgets? :) [17:29:05] !widgets [17:29:10] !e widget [17:29:10] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:widget [18:01:48] Hi to all. [18:02:36] I'm planning to launch my wiki on public [18:02:52] so I'm trying the same with mediawiki [18:03:11] will I need to purchase any domain? [18:09:41] Jagan: you need to do whatever you'd also need to do when you want to have a public website, whether that website is a wiki or not :) [18:09:49] help please [18:09:57] question please [18:10:13] after i edit my page, it keeps redirecting me to the front page [18:10:15] without saving [18:10:20] it wont even show a preview [18:10:38] its only on certain pages [18:10:44] it lets me save and edit fine on most [18:12:15] it doesn't give me an error message or anything, just send me to the front page [18:15:44] andre_: So i need to purchase the domain, is it? [18:18:14] this is seriously starting to piss me off [18:18:18] why the fuck is it doing this [18:21:07] Jagan, if you don't have any public webspace available and if you want to have a special address: yes. depends. [18:21:15] but this isn't a very MediaWiki related question :) [18:21:35] bronston, tried http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug already? [18:22:06] andre_: understand, thanks! [18:23:15] i will try that andre__ [18:52:18] Hi I'm trying to install mediawiki on Ubuntu-14.04 [18:52:29] is this correct guide. [18:52:31] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu [18:53:04] Jagan: the general installation guide is probably more up to date https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki [18:56:53] thanks! legoktm [20:15:44] 'waiting for the 1.24 stable so I could start upgrading my server' ^^ [20:20:00] you're a thrill seeker, eh? :) [21:48:37] how can i check the existence of a variable? getting an error: no local variable "stimeperiod" was set [21:53:36] plut0: where? doing what? [21:53:51] Explicitly defining it on all code paths is easiest [21:54:11] and/or setting a default before conditionals where it may or may not be set [21:54:55] ahh i just figured it out [22:00:38] I'm gonna install MeidaWiki for the first time in a few years. [22:00:39] Soon. [22:00:42] MediaWiki, too. [22:00:56] What about MediWiki? [22:00:59] I guess I probably did the installer in the past year or two. [22:01:05] MediWiki is still in beta. [22:01:17] My wiki kind of shit the bed. [22:01:22] Probably from system updates. [22:01:24] aw. [22:01:30] I mean, the data's fine. [22:01:33] But I need to update the software. [22:01:41] It might be running 1.19. [23:36:38] !ops [23:36:50] I don't know what the topic was. [23:37:00] * legoktm scrolls up [23:37:02] Not that. [23:37:07] marktraceur: one sec Ill look the topic up [23:37:08] Probably not.
