[00:33:17] <Nemo_bis>	 Betacommand: no
[01:16:46] <Reptob>	 I need immediate help I broke my wiki and even though I deleted the problem it's still broken!
[01:18:26] <ty>	 Repton: Make sure there aren't any errors in your LocalSettings, and check out the How to debug article on mw.org
[01:24:01] <Repton>	 I tried runing the script in htacess and jf didn't show any errors....
[01:24:10] <Repton>	 It*
[01:31:17] <Yaron1>	 Repton: what do you mean by "broken"?
[01:32:09] <Repton>	 As in all it shows is this: "
[01:32:09] <Repton>	 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/u769226260/public_html/mediawiki-1.24.1/LocalSettings.php on line 249"
[01:33:28] <siieoa>	 How do I enable PHP code to be executed (eg <?php echo foo ?>) in articles?
[01:34:33] <Yaron1>	 Repton: what do you have in LocalSettings.php around that line?
[01:35:16] <Repton>	 I had the checkuser thing in it but I deleted it but now it's just the user groups
[01:35:40] <Yaron1>	 What's the exact PHP code?
[01:37:42] <Repton>	 http://pastebin.com/QF57WRJD
[01:37:43] <Yaron1>	 siieoa: you can't call PHP within wiki pages (thankfully). You can call Smarty, though, via the Widgets extension, and Lua via the Scribunto extension.
[01:38:01] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: I want to use <?php require_one('article_1'); require_one('article_2'); ?> in my article
[01:38:08] <siieoa>	 once*
[01:38:18] <Yaron1>	 Repton: ooh, you should take that down... it has your password on it.
[01:38:27] <jackmcbarn>	 ...and change your password.
[01:38:29] <ty>	 Repton: " wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf['sysop'] = array( 'sysop' );" there is no $ before that 
[01:38:37] <Yaron1>	 siieoa: yes, okay. You can't do that.
[01:38:55] <siieoa>	 Why not?
[01:39:11] <Yaron1>	 There's no code that enables it.
[01:39:23] <Yaron1>	 Repton: you have a space instead of a $ on that line.
[01:39:57] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: How do I do this with Smarty or Lua? I have Scribunto installed.
[01:40:11] <Yaron1>	 Great. Did you read the documentation?
[01:40:43] <Yaron1>	 siieoa: plus, what do you mean by "requiring" an article?
[01:41:16] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: That I want to see errors if it exists.
[01:41:28] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: include will work for me as well.
[01:41:36] <Yaron1>	 What do you mean by errors, in a wiki page?
[01:41:58] <Yaron1>	 I don't understand what you want to do.
[01:42:26] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: I want to include various articles in one page.
[01:42:53] <Repton>	 I fixed that thing now what?
[01:43:01] <Yaron1>	 Ah. You don't need any programming for that - just add "{{:NameOfThePage}}" to the wikitext.
[01:43:08] <Yaron1>	 Repton: does it work now?
[01:44:42] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: Perfect, almost. How do I export title at the top of each included article? Example: {{:Beta-carotene}} does not place Beta-carotene at the top
[01:44:45] <Repton>	 Yes *phew*
[01:44:55] <Yaron1>	 Repton: great!
[01:45:15] <Yaron1>	 siieoa: you need to put that wikitext at the top of the page, then.
[01:45:27] <Repton>	 I thought for an hour that it would be irreversible
[01:45:37] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: How do I create variables and use them?
[01:45:44] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: Is that even possible?
[01:45:48] * Repton wipes sweat off forehead *
[01:46:03] <Yaron1>	 Repton: you really should change your password, though.
[01:46:20] <Repton>	 I will right now
[01:46:48] <Yaron1>	 !e Variables | siieoa
[01:46:48] <wm-bot>	 siieoa: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Variables_
[01:47:15] <Yaron1>	 Cool.
[01:48:04] <siieoa>	 Yaron1: Thank you once again.
[01:49:35] <Yaron1>	 You're welcome!
[01:56:13] <Repton>	 I changed it
[08:19:07] <Angelaki>	 good morning. trying to authenticate my user via openldap but no success until now. who can help me?
[08:40:54] <ankita_>	 hi! please suggest what might work with errors in vagrant up and vagrant reload?
[08:41:21] <ankita_>	 i am unable to run and test my code
[08:41:37] <ankita_>	 errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9916525/ 
[08:42:40] <ankita_>	 i already tried all the solutions on the web including enabling a GUI and this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/23095019/2015112 
[08:43:35] <ankita_>	 On the GUI I get an error: keys: press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
[08:44:19] <ankita_>	 what can be done?
[08:46:54] <ankita_>	 also, I am using Elementary OS Luna, and the latest versions of vagrant and virtualbox
[09:17:42] <ankita_>	 help please, i am only a beginner in this :)
[09:28:27] <saper>	 ankita_: I've heard about this problem, but not sure there is any solution found
[09:29:31] <saper>	 ankita_: probably you just need to run fsck?
[10:17:20] <yaoQ>	 Anyone here?
[11:44:44] <juboxi>	 Hiya and thanks thanks for the great FLGOSS wiki engine
[11:46:09] <juboxi>	 I'm having an issue of slowness on saves
[11:46:49] <juboxi>	 I should prlly boot to a proper OS and log in to server and turn debugging on and look at that first
[12:00:18] <Repton>	 http://hypotheticalhurricanes.hol.es/mediawiki-1.24.1/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_hurricane_small is there any way in LocalSettings.php that I can make it look like what it is supposed to?
[12:15:07] <Repton>	 Nvm I figured it out.
[12:18:53] <juboxi>	 How do I make the wiki so that only I can add users ?
[12:19:21] <juboxi>	 there are some bots registering accounts for spamming purposes not much minding the reCAPTCHA
[12:24:08] <parent5446>	 juboxi: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_account_creation
[12:26:47] <juboxi>	 Dänks parent5446
[12:35:26] <Repton>	 Is there a way to import files from another mw site to mine I need to upload a lot of hurricane pictures.
[12:38:21] <Gravis>	 is there a list of page namespaces stored in the mediawiki db?
[12:46:53] <juboxi>	 '$wgDebugLogFile = "/sites/globba12.si/logs/mediawiki.log";' ain't working as expected
[12:47:02] <juboxi>	 file is zero bytes in size
[12:48:14] <juboxi>	 file has same rights as access.log and error.log
[12:48:18] <juboxi>	 which work just fine
[12:48:30] <juboxi>	 just the debugging log is not getting written
[12:56:48] <Gravis>	 juboxi: have you enabled debugging?
[13:09:10] <kthx_>	 hello
[13:11:38] <kthx_>	 is it possible to query sha1 and description of an image in one api call?
[14:04:04] <Fiona>	 kthx_: Description?
[14:06:57] <kthx_>	 Fiona: the wikitext on the File: page itself
[14:07:11] <Fiona>	 Ah.

[14:13:20] <Qcoder00>	 Won't render
[14:13:23] <Qcoder00>	 correctly
[14:13:27] <jubo2>	 Hiya
[14:13:37] <Qcoder00>	 Mediawiki it seems can't cope with embedded footnotes
[14:13:47] <jubo2>	 I'm not having much luck turning the debugging on for http://GloBBA12.si/wiki/
[14:15:23] <jubo2>	 tried
[14:15:24] <jubo2>	 $wgDebugLogFile = "/sites/globba12.si/logs/mediawiki.log";
[14:15:35] <jubo2>	 but that doesn't produce anything to the empty log file
[14:16:02] <jubo2>	 I need to diagnose why saves are so damn slow on the GloBBA12.si study wiki
[14:16:15] <Gravis>	 jubo2: https://www.google.com/search?q=mediawiki+enable+debug
[14:17:02] <Gravis>	 Qcoder00: which part, the image or the crappy OCR?
[14:17:16] <Qcoder00>	 The OCR
[14:17:30] <Gravis>	 Qcoder00: then manually edit it?
[14:17:31] <Qcoder00>	 Transcription has an embeeded footnote
[14:17:34] <Qcoder00>	 I did
[14:17:51] <Qcoder00>	 The solution for embedding a footnote DOES NOT WORK
[14:20:19] <Qcoder00>	 because doing {{#tag|follow=<blah>}} isn't recognised
[14:20:37] <Qcoder00>	 Meaning the tranclusion will break when rendered
[14:21:00] <Qcoder00>	 I am getting slightly disapointed that I'm finding simple things like this quite often
[14:21:19] <Gravis>	 Qcoder00: so the issue is you have reference inside a reference?
[14:21:24] <Qcoder00>	 Yes
[14:21:40] <Qcoder00>	 And that's how it is in the scan
[14:22:43] <Qcoder00>	 https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Physical_Geography_of_the_Sea_and_its_Meteorology.djvu/370
[14:22:50] <jubo2>	 Gravis: I looked at the instructions in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug#Logging and the debug logging should be on but is not
[14:23:29] <Qcoder00>	 Gravis: I trird the approach in the help but it didn't work
[14:23:35] <Qcoder00>	 *tried
[14:23:50] <Qcoder00>	 So I am once again having to conclude Mediawiki can't do something
[14:23:59] <Qcoder00>	 Fix your code
[14:24:02] <Qcoder00>	 ;(
[14:24:52] <Gravis>	 Qcoder00: sounds about right.  though i'm not part of the mediawiki team
[14:28:13] <Gravis>	 jubo2: is "/sites/globba12.si/logs/mediawiki.log" an absolute or relative address?
[14:28:13] <Qcoder00>	 Anyone here that is?
[14:29:08] <Gravis>	 jubo2: well, better said, "/sites/globba12.si/logs/mediawiki.log" is an absolute address, did you mean it to be?
[14:31:29] <Qcoder00>	 Solved: mediawiki parser being pedantic again
[14:31:30] <Qcoder00>	 :(
[14:33:14] <jubo2>	 Gravis: yes it is an absolute address
[14:33:29] <Gravis>	 Qcoder00: a bit of info.  this is a known issue.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes
[14:33:36] <Qcoder00>	 Yep
[14:33:46] <Gravis>	 Qcoder00: seems it's not actually part of mediawiki but rather an extension
[14:33:51] <jubo2>	 Gravis: I was bit of a newb when I set up that server so the sites are located in there
[14:34:06] <Qcoder00>	 Solved it though, seems MEdiwiki/cite is even more pedantic than templates about parameter order
[14:34:46] <Gravis>	 jubo2: have you tried writing to somewhere like... /tmp?
[14:34:49] <jubo2>	 I cannot see what is wrong
[14:34:53] <jubo2>	 Gravis: I try that now
[14:35:12] <Gravis>	 jubo2: it's likely a permissions issue
[14:35:40] <jubo2>	 Gravis: but the file has the exact same permissions as does the apache log files
[14:36:06] <jubo2>	 Are the PHP process and the apache process distinct from each other?
[14:37:07] <Gravis>	 jubo2: i dont think so
[14:37:19] <jubo2>	 Gravis: mystic
[14:37:38] <jubo2>	 to /tmp it prints out the file as expected
[14:37:44] <Gravis>	 ;)
[14:38:07] <Gravis>	 jubo2: permissions issue.
[14:38:22] <Gravis>	 jubo2: now you just have to figure out why. :P
[14:52:57] <jubo2>	 ok.. I saw it was the SpamBlacklist extension ( prlly broken ) causing the delay
[14:53:05] <jubo2>	 Now the saves are fast
[15:04:28] <Niharika_>	 "The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter." I am trying to save a cloud link on a page. (http://cl.ly/image/3E3w3p3e2r1J) Is there a way to avoid this?
[15:27:21] <Gravis>	 Niharika_: sure, don't use cloud link.
[15:28:00] <Gravis>	 Niharika_: either that or the wiki you are editing has blocked external links in which case, nope.
[15:59:42] <Niharika_>	 Gravis: Alright. I'm editing MediaWiki. 
[16:23:59] <G_SabinoMullane>	 Ugh, the dreaded "Base lambda function for closure not found"
[16:24:31] <G_SabinoMullane>	 Anyone know which PHP version has fixed that? It's not clear from https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52144
[16:24:55] <G_SabinoMullane>	 Happens even if $wgMainCacheType is not APC
[16:38:55] <MC8>	 5.4.9 was the next release after they said it was committed (although I have no idea if that's relevant)

[18:37:46] <BartlomiejB>	 hi.
[19:23:01] <tfinc>	 ^d: during yesterdays mw:core review you guys mentioned that we have more performance instrumentation around search after the Elasticsearch upgrade. can you point me to where i can find that. not seeing a reference to it from https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Search#CirrusSearch
[19:23:49] <^d>	 It's in ganglia
[19:24:10] <^d>	 http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/latest/?r=hour&cs=&ce=&s=by+name&c=Elasticsearch%2520cluster%2520eqiad&tab=m&vn=&hide-hf=false - you're looking for the various es_* stats
[19:24:54] <^d>	 eg: http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/latest/?r=hour&cs=&ce=&m=cpu_report&c=Elasticsearch+cluster+eqiad&h=elastic1005.eqiad.wmnet&tab=m&vn=&hide-hf=false&mc=2&z=medium&metric_group=NOGROUPS for elastic1001
[19:26:05] <tfinc>	 ^d: nice, are all the es_* metrics standard and documented elastic search terms?
[19:27:12] <tfinc>	 ^d: nice, are all the es_* metrics standard and documented elastic search terms?
[19:27:47] <tfinc>	 ^d: looking over this https://doc.wikimedia.org/puppetsource/modules/elasticsearch/files/ganglia/elasticsearch_monitoring.py i'm guessing the naming is our own
[19:28:39] <^d>	 We stole some of that stuff from $somewhere
[19:28:46] <^d>	 manybubbles prolly knows more here
[19:48:05] <tfinc>	 ^d: past system and application level search stats do we have any other instrumentation to show what kind of experience our users are seeing when they search? 
[19:48:33] <tfinc>	 ^d: and yeah, you guys got the module from https://github.com/ganglia/gmond_python_modules/tree/master/elasticsearch 
[19:48:42] <^d>	 So we measure search latency as well when Graphite's not broken.
[19:48:57] <^d>	 gdash.wikimedia.org/dashboards/searchlatency/
[19:51:25] <^d>	 And we log slow searches to fluorine, but that's mostly for us to find ways to fix edge cases.
[19:53:33] <tfinc>	 ^d: yeah, no data. who maintains Graphite? and/or is there a phab task for it being down ?
[19:53:40] <^d>	 That's an ops thing.
[19:53:41] <Nemo_bis>	 I didn't even know that 1.9 worked in PHP 5.3.3 http://wiki.quakeworld.nu/Special:Version vs. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility#PHP
[20:11:42] <Jon___>	 hey is anyone around?
[20:12:02] <marktraceur>	 !ask | Jon___ 
[20:12:02] <wm-bot>	 Jon___: 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. :)
[20:13:02] <Jon___>	 I'm trying to go thru the help pages, but I can't find how to fix my problem.  I was logged onto an administrative account, and I went to protect my homepage.  After that, there is just a white screen.  Is there anyway I can protect pages and not break my site?  If so, how?
[20:14:30] <Jon___>	 And, how do I recover my site?
[20:16:27] <Vulpix>	 !blank | Jon___ 
[20:16:27] <wm-bot>	 Jon___: A blank page or HTTP 500 error usually indicates a fatal PHP error. For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug>.
[20:36:56] <Jon___>	 what is interesting is I am getting syntax errors on my LocalSettings.php file, and I literally copied and pasted from the help files
[20:46:11] <Jon___>	 I have a lot of undefined constants and syntax errors.  But I'm telling you, I followed the format on mediawiki.org.
[20:48:22] <Vulpix>	 maybe there was a help file with errors
[20:50:55] <Jon___>	 do you have any idea how to get my site up and running after trying to protect a page?
[20:52:03] <Vulpix>	 without the error messages, no, sorry
[20:52:58] <Jon___>	 I'm using the error_log in the home directory.  do you know of any other error logs?
[20:54:55] <Jon___>	 It seems the Tstring errors have to do with the version of PHP running
[20:56:57] <Jon___>	 do you think these errors are causing the crash?
[20:57:53] <Nemo_bis>	 possible
[20:58:16] <Nemo_bis>	 It's the documentation's devilish trick to make you use an up to date PHP
[20:58:22] <Nemo_bis>	 Education by torture
[21:01:06] <Jon___>	 [29-Jan-2015 13:55:20 America/Denver] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'pWriter' (T_STRING), expecting ']' in /home2/gdonline/public_html/LocalSettings.php on line 123
[21:02:08] <Vulpix>	 could you paste the line 123 of LocalSettings.php?
[21:02:59] <Jon___>	 I put the number sign in hopes it would bring the site back up, but it didn't work
[21:03:02] <Jon___>	 #$wgGroupPermissions['pWriter'][read] = true;
[21:03:22] <Nemo_bis>	 s/read/'read'/
[21:04:04] <Jon___>	 i don't know what that means sorry
[21:04:16] <Vulpix>	 it's commented out. The error must be from an earlier line
[21:04:26] <Vulpix>	 most probably an unclosed string
[21:04:39] <Jon___>	 I put the number sign in hopes it would bring the site back up, but it didn't work
[21:04:44] <Jon___>	 I just put the number sign in
[21:04:53] <Jon___>	 it's been doing the same error with or without the number sign
[21:04:54] <Vulpix>	 look for a single quote missing its pair
[21:06:29] <Jon___>	 everything checks, I can align it with the other permissions
[21:07:02] <Jon___>	 what I don't get is for one, it was spitting out these errors when I protected the page, and two, why now?
[21:07:05] <Jon___>	 I haven't changed the code
[21:07:55] <Vulpix>	 could you please post the entire contents of LocalSettings.php in dpaste, replacing any password with asterisks and such?
[21:08:25] <Jon___>	 dpaste?
[21:09:20] <Vulpix>	 https://dpaste.de/
[21:16:15] <Jon___>	 so do i just control v in here?
[21:16:20] <Jon___>	 or is there another way to go about doing things?
[21:16:25] <Jon___>	 i've never used dpaste before
[21:16:46] <Vulpix>	 yes, you paste the contents there and save
[21:17:01] <Vulpix>	 then you post here the new URL of the page it redirects you to
[21:19:13] <Jon___>	 i see no link to save it in dpaste.de
[21:19:53] <Vulpix>	 there's a big blue button below the textarea
[21:20:12] <Jon___>	 https://dpaste.de/YxCJ
[21:21:21] <Vulpix>	 Jon___: if you changed language frompython to PHP, it would have made things a lot easier :) here's the error: https://dpaste.de/RKS0#L122
[21:21:41] <Vulpix>	 line 122
[21:22:04] <Vulpix>	 well, from that line onwards...
[21:23:36] <Jon___>	 it fixed it, thank you
[21:23:43] <Jon___>	 why did the error log specify the wrong line?
[21:23:54] <Jon___>	 it's amazing you miss one little character and the site breaks
[21:24:47] <Jon___>	 thank you for your time and effort
[21:24:50] <Vulpix>	 that file is telling the server how to work, and machines often do not tolerate such faults

[22:38:45] <wm-bot>	 kynlem: See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:page_table
[22:39:42] <kynlem>	 yeah, checked that. but there are multiple entries in mediawiki.page with page_title i'm looking for, so there must be an extra criterium
[22:40:32] <Vulpix>	 kynlem: page_namespace is the namespace
[22:41:02] <Vulpix>	 page_namespace = 0 for mainspace pages
[22:42:00] <kynlem>	 got it, thanks, Vulpix!

[22:43:01] <the_called_>	 Hi, I'm trying to find someone who can explain what's going on with this mediawiki version 1.5.
[22:44:23] <the_called_>	 I looked up the email authentication function and found that it was added in version 1.5, but the latest release is supposedly version 1.24
[22:44:30] <Lcawte>	 the_called_: 1.5 or 1.15?
[22:44:44] <the_called_>	 1.5
[22:44:58] <the_called_>	 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEmailAuthentication
[22:45:29] <the_called_>	 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.5
[22:47:23] <Lcawte>	 the_called_: What's your question about it? Keep in mind 1.5 is 10 years old now and therefore no longer supported
[22:47:37] <the_called_>	 It looks like version 1.25 is still in the alpha stage though, so I'm very confused.
[22:47:43] <the_called_>	 O_o
[22:49:04] <the_called_>	 I see. So I should be able to use this email authentication feature just fine with my current version.
[22:50:51] <the_called_>	 How was version 1.5 developed 10 years ago and version 1.22 (the one I have) developed in 2013?
[22:52:30] <the_called_>	 oh
[22:52:42] <the_called_>	 'cause it's not .22 it's 22
[22:54:42] <the_called_>	 Then I guess my question is how do I get the email authentication to work? It's set to TRUE, but it's not requiring emails.
