[00:09:35] so i want to write a page that is a set of steps for doing a task on the computer, and fill it with lots of screenshots. how can i quickly get the screenshots into mw? should I just take all the screenshots and save them, then mass upload? or is there some other cooler way? [00:09:54] like a screenshot app that can link in with mw? [00:35:54] the table editor in the Visual Editor is a bit cumbersome [00:36:02] tab does not move to the next field [00:36:34] Fiona: I am thinking about content sharing between wikis. One wiki is too big and it's not possible to get its website operators to install useful or untested stuff. I would think running my own wiki and using their api is one way to do it (with another way being using my own api instance and writing some software to merge, pull, and push data between wikis). [01:13:05] "Non-daemonized mode is no longer supported. Please install the mediawiki/services/jobrunner service and update $wgJobTypeConf as needed." -- after a fresh install of MediaWiki vagrant. [01:13:27] just fixed today in mediawiki-vagrant [01:13:37] try a git pull to grab the fix [01:14:57] bd808, hehe you see how long it took me to install a new copy today [01:15:20] mw clones are a little time consuming [01:15:44] so true [01:16:20] I bootstrap all my mediawiki/core.git clones from an older local copy to make things go faster [02:31:15] Is there any way that I can deactivate the creating a new user account with mediawiki? [02:31:32] I mean to stop other people creating a user account [02:35:51] Daley, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_account_creation [02:37:02] You can, how will you get users? Requests? [02:37:45] My wiki site got vandalised with nonsense [02:41:00] They all do. [02:41:20] Lots of antivandal extensions to pick from. [02:44:18] If I wanted those extensions, or templates I'd need someone to put them onto my site. I don't really understand having wiki code and implementing it myself. editing articles I'm ok with just need the formatting to be done by someone else [02:46:19] Daley: If it's fine for your use case to have all accounts created by an administrator, then don't worry about it. You can stick to what MaxSem said. [16:21:30] exit [17:33:25] I installed MediaWiki and enabled the apisandbox, math, and confirmedit roles. When I try to do an edit via the API sandbox I get the following error, which I do not understand: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8720412 [17:33:42] I thought mw vagrant was supposed to set it up appropriately [17:34:11] *I installed MediaWiki-vagrant [17:34:32] Hi cgt! Let me take a look at this. [17:34:36] Thanks [17:35:04] the action=query&meta=tokens request for the edit token went fine [17:35:06] Oh, my, quite a nasty error you got there [17:35:20] yup [17:35:24] I guess the mw-v jobqueue isn't configured correctly [17:35:29] * marktraceur pings bd808 [17:36:09] I don't know what it means by the non-daemonized config not being supported, I haven't changed my local config and my API has been working OK [17:36:31] We fixed that about 24 hours ago in the MediaWiki-Vagrant code [17:36:38] Oh, cool. [17:36:46] cgt: So pull from git again and it should be working! [17:36:48] I think I did pull the repo yesterday. I'll try to update. [17:36:50] git pull; vagrant provision should fix it [17:36:50] thanks [17:37:35] It was a new breaking change in MediaWiki that we missed adding config in mw-vagrant for [17:38:00] cgt, also check the hhvm file perms, as listed in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89390 [17:38:08] Lot of those breaking changes happening recently [17:38:24] * marktraceur bangs chrismcmahon's MORE TESTING gong for him [17:38:31] bd808: Hi! It'd be awesome if you could review https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/186157/9 sometime today. :) [17:38:43] mobrovac: will do, thanks [17:38:47] bd808: Aaron caused not one but two epic failures with his StatusValue patch (so far...) [17:39:02] marktraceur: we are running HHVM now so have adopted Facebook's "Move fast and break things" motto ;) [17:39:10] Obviously [17:39:18] We're doing great at the second part [17:39:20] it breaks SecurePoll [17:39:25] we found that yesterday [17:39:32] bd808: HHVM does? [17:39:41] StatusValue [17:39:46] Oh, dear, then three [17:39:56] Unless it was the same newGood thing that he fixed yesterday. [17:40:12] It works now. Thanks for the help. [17:40:25] SecurePoll has a Status subclass that doesn't call parent::__construct [17:40:31] so boom! [17:47:09] hello folks, i'm attempting to get the Visual Editor working on my installation of MediaWiki (fresh). unfortunately the instructions seem to be incomplete and don't apply to CentOS boxes. does anyone have any recommendations? [17:48:05] uhm, where did the page.counter field go in the page table? [17:49:17] !db page [17:49:17] See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:page_table [17:49:35] that is the first place i looked [17:49:36] wmat: it's gone, man. gone. [17:49:41] This feature was removed completely in version 1.25.0. [17:49:46] hitcounters were killed [17:49:50] ahhh [17:49:59] and of course, nobody bothered to update docs [17:49:59] (not gonna cry for them, myself) [17:51:19] great, i have users screaming about broken pages that called page.counter via DPL [17:52:06] wmat: page counters are evil [17:52:20] oh, i have no doubt of that [17:54:26] so is there another less evil way of generating a list of the most popular pages within a category on a page? [17:54:56] No [17:55:24] wonderful [17:57:38] hi. how to create groups ? [17:58:21] !access [17:58:21] For information on customizing user access, see . For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see . [17:58:39] fellipe: ^ [17:59:19] Vulpix: I've already visited this User Rights page, but I did not find how to create group. The documentation is not so clear [18:00:13] fellipe: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#Creating_a_new_group_and_assigning_permissions_to_it [18:00:35] Betacommand: thanks, let me take a look [18:00:43] where did you get lost on the manual? [18:01:00] fellipe: its the same link that Vulpix gave you [18:53:40] Hello, on Special:UserLogin/signup i can see several languages for user interface. How to add more languages? [18:55:12] gleki: what languages did you want? [18:59:45] Betacommand: just many. e.g. Lojban since the mediawiki I'm using is in Lojban. [18:59:45] Will all captchas return a response to captcha-blocked edits like the one shown here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#CAPTCHAs_and_extension_errors? (with the same fields, that is. type, mime, id, question) [18:59:54] But also Chinese and Portuguese. [18:59:59] Betacommand: But also Chinese and Portuguese. [19:00:51] gleki: if they are supported by mediawiki the uselang parameter can be used [19:01:21] Betacommand: how to show them on that page as links? [19:01:30] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jedi_Twilight&uselang=ru [19:01:34] looks like mw be default shows only some languages. [19:01:43] looks like mw by default shows only some languages. [19:02:12] Language: Deutsch | English | Esperanto | français | español | italiano | Nederlands [19:02:32] gleki: can you post a screen shot? [19:03:59] Betacommand: you may just use a direct link: http://mw.lojban.org/mw/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin [19:08:16] gleki: its related to Mediawiki:loginlanguagelabel [19:10:33] gleki: actually, it's http://mw.lojban.org/lmw/MediaWiki:Loginlanguagelinks [19:10:48] had to dig in the code to find it [19:11:25] Vulpix: thanks was still digging [19:19:51] Vulpix: Betacommand thank you!!! [19:21:20] yw [19:31:56] Will all captchas return a response to captcha-blocked edits like the one shown here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#CAPTCHAs_and_extension_errors? (with the same fields, that is. type, mime, id, question) [19:37:34] I know that SimpleCaptcha and MathCaptcha do, but what about, say, recaptcha? I can't test that easily. [20:03:30] Nemo_bis: You there? [21:15:10] hey guys, does anyone know if VisualEditor works with the current stable release or must you use the current alpha [21:17:15] Comet: The MW1.24 version of VisualEditor works fine with MW1.24 [21:17:33] Comet: But it misses all the features we added since MW1.24, like table editing etc., which makes people sad. [21:18:26] hey guys. made a wiki but bots are really nuking it. Anyway my biggest problem right now is that they almost ddosing me. Server CPU spikes all the time...Any ideas? [21:18:39] James_F, guess i'm confused because the installation instructions only show you how to download VisualEditor via git, which is the version for 1.25wmf16 [21:19:21] latest VE definitely breaks 1.24.1 in other words. [21:19:34] Comet: … because the great big "Download Snapshot" link in the infobox is the main extension download route. [21:19:50] i guess it couldn't hurt using 1.25.x? [21:20:19] i'm starting a fresh wiki for some internal company documentation. as long as it works, i'm cool with that haha. [21:36:33] James_F: i finally discovered ExtensionDistributor. so now i can try the version for 1.24.1. thanks for pointing me in the right direction. [21:36:45] Comet: Sorry for the confusion. [21:39:59] Comet: suggestions on how to make it easier to discover are appreciated :) [21:43:04] I guess the download buttons should be flashing [21:45:58] lol [21:57:35] well, i read through every bit of documentation for the visualeditor and parsoid. jumped through many hoops to get it working correctly due to distro specific issues. [21:58:16] a bullet line that simply says * If you're using the stable release of MediaWiki, git will not work. Use the ExtensionDistributor. [21:58:29] that would clarify much before beating my head against the wall. [21:58:37] It's a wiki [21:58:41] Feel free to edit it :D [21:58:54] good point. haha. [21:59:14] And smack James_F with bug 1 at the same time ;) [22:02:39] Reedy: Bug 2001* [22:02:49] marktraceur: Task 2001* [22:03:04] Task Two Phousand and One.

[23:35:40] in looking at the abusefilter abusefilter.tables.pg.sql file, it says: [23:35:52] -- Note: This does not currently work, as the extension generates queries [23:35:53] -- like this: SELECT af_hidden FROM abuse_filter WHERE af_id = 'new' LIMIT 1 [23:36:26] Am I SOL, or is there a way to get abusefilter to work with postgresql? [23:46:01] nangel, out of curiosity - why pg? [23:46:42] That's what we've always used. wiki.alpinelinux.org [23:48:34] * MaxSem yummies at fresh software [23:57:12] grmbl [23:57:32] nangel, have you tried if it actually works for you? [23:57:46] Yes, I've tried [23:57:59] Database error [23:57:59] A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. [23:58:47] RROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "new" at character 95 [23:58:47] STATEMENT: SELECT /* AbuseFilter::filterHidden Jbilyk */ af_hidden FROM "abuse_filter" WHERE af_id = 'new' LIMIT 1 [23:59:15] Those last two were from the postmaster.log [23:59:45] heh, but it seems that the tables _were_ created
