[00:26:38] how do you fix the $wgLogo not showing up in Vector on 1.24 (mw-wiki-logo class) [00:29:34] guess i just have to edit navigation.less and put in a background-image [00:58:40] This is more of a wikipedia specific question, but are backlashes (\) allowed in page titles in the main namespace? [01:02:12] adrian_1908: It seems to be [01:02:12] I mean, from a technical standpoint at least [01:02:14] nick_name_34343434 [01:03:07] RoanKattouw: seem so, thanks. [01:33:05] Hello everyone. I am having trouble installing mediawiki. Google searches and looking at the documentation did not help. Can someone help me please? Thanks. [01:34:00] Hello87643: what issues are you having? [01:35:44] I tried to install the Wiki and I did so successfully, however when I try to edit the localsettings.php I get an error message. Here it is: [01:37:05] http://pastebin.com/YaMr1jkT [01:38:16] my website is https://theprivacywiki.org [01:41:40] Hello71: disable "magic quotes" in your PHP configuration. [01:41:51] wrong number. [01:42:06] :P [01:42:09] meh [01:42:12] Hello87643: http://php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc [01:42:39] lololololol [01:43:38] ok, thanks for the link, I'll do that. [05:34:32] Hi, need help writing to ('wpTextbox1') with javascript prepend function works on a normal wiki page and the new text is visible. But same operation works on wikisource page name space , but is not visible and not shown inpreview. any tips to fix the same. [07:12:49] Hi Guys, [07:12:54] anyone out there ? [07:13:13] Seeking help with extension creation [07:27:43] Hello [07:29:20] I'm trying to complete the SUL process and it the system tries to send me to another account which I don't own (and don't wish to own). Or maybe I don't understand the process fully. Who can I contact in order to get some help? [07:30:25] ikwik: hi, is this on a Wikimedia wiki? [07:31:46] legoktm, it can happen in wikimedia wiki and also in en.wikipedia [07:32:16] ikwik: ok, just merge the accounts you do own and ignore the ones you don't. They'll be renamed to a different name later on [07:34:45] When I enter my password in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount . I get this message: The home wiki for this account (listed below) has a different password to the one you entered. Please enter the password for the home wiki. And then I'm told that my Home Wiki (which I think will be my main account) is somewhere in the "sv.wikipedia.org" domain. (which I don't know/own/understand the language there) [07:35:47] is the main account not your account? [07:35:51] And then I'm offered to enter my password again in order to "Begin login unification". So I can't get to a stage where I merge my accounts [07:36:19] ok so, unfortunately you're going to be the one renamed, and the user on sv.wikipedia.org is going to get your name [07:36:33] Ohhh [07:37:01] That's a shame [07:37:02] there are details on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Single_User_Login_finalisation_announcement (messages to affected users is actually going to happen soon) [07:37:08] Isn't there something I can do? [07:37:34] there's a link on that page on how to request a new name [07:38:38] But I received a mail earlier telling me that wikipedia found all the accounts that I own and wish to merge them. Saying that I should click a link in order to finalize this. So how come I got a mail stating this if I'm the one that's going to be renamed? [07:40:36] the system sending out emails sent them out to users where we thought you may have owned the account, but we weren't able to confirm it, so it was asking you to try to confirm it [07:41:59] is this already finalized? I can't do anything in order to keep my name? [07:43:16] what's your username? [07:44:25] can I private message you my name? [07:44:46] sure [07:54:45] Thank you, good bye [08:44:55] hi there. i am using mediawiki 1.2.23 and i have red links for non existing pages even if a site has been created. any ideas howto fix that? [08:52:22] hi I managed to install wiki and vector skin, but no css/images are loaded. What might this be? [11:12:29] when I go into wiki.domain.com it alter url to wiki.domain.com:port/index, can I remove the port from url somehow? :D [11:14:51] what is the port? [11:15:00] 8080 [11:15:32] Well, HTTP runs on port 80 by default. So the explicit port will have to be part of your URL if you want to run it on a non-standard port. [11:16:47] it runs fine on 80 too [11:17:00] I have varnish on 80 but its setup to not cache mediawiki [11:17:21] dunno why it insist on adding 8080 [11:17:56] hmm wait I might know why :> [11:30:24] hi. how to mark featured articles in mw 1.25 [11:30:27] ? [11:38:41] gleki, there is no function in mw to mark featured articles? [11:39:01] unicodesnowman: i have no idea. how does wikipedia use that? [11:39:13] they implemented it [11:39:24] the pages marked with "featured article" stars dont have anything special in their code. [11:39:25] it's just a template AFAIK [11:39:31] hm [11:39:52] yep that auto adds to a category, but that's pretty much it [11:41:03] okay found it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Featured_article [11:51:54] hm, looks like i still dont understand how to make it work in a private mediawiki deployment [12:27:24] su [12:27:42] * impacific err [13:30:07] hi I have installed "categorytree", how can I make a list (using categorytree or some other thing) of all my categories? [13:59:51] basically I want to create something like this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Table_of_contents [15:35:06] lol who wrote this: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Synchbot#How_do_I_make_a_request.3F [15:35:14] Krinkle|detached ^ [15:35:25] list of wikis to skip, what kind of list is that? [15:35:29] I suppose csv? [15:35:48] here's a silly n00b question. Across mediawiki versions, has there been changes to the configuration file? [15:36:23] And the DB? [15:36:28] malaverdiere: you mean default configuration? yes there are changes over time [15:36:41] yes there are changes to DB schemas as well from one version to other [15:37:00] Hm, so I can't reuse a docker image blindly... okidoki. thanks [15:37:16] you can just run update.php script to update db schemas when you update [15:39:34] petan: my issue is that I'd like to run some tests on many versions [15:40:01] so I'd like a docker image where I just have to checkout another tag from the git repo. That'd be easiest [15:40:03] you can also pray and ignore recommended solutions [15:40:09] LOL [15:40:25] As much as I love prayer in general, I'll skip that option [15:40:52] So I could run the setup from an older version. And every time I try a newer version, I'd run update.php? [15:41:02] yes [15:41:10] Results (Found 5): announce, jobqueue, refresh, update.php, gsoc2015, [15:41:10] @search update [15:41:15] !update.php [15:41:15] update.php is a script that updates the database tables. You usually need to run it after upgrading MediaWiki or installing certain extensions. For details, see [15:43:23] thanks petan [15:43:26] yw [18:43:45] Hello, am Angela. Nice meeting everyone. [18:44:20] Hello angela you are welcome. nice meeting you [19:05:26] is it possible to create a page with all categories and their pages? like an overview [19:06:10] jnor: Maybe you'd like the CategoryTree extension [19:06:13] !e CategoryTree [19:06:14] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree [19:06:52] jnor: For example, see https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACategoryTree&target=CommonsRoot&mode=all&namespaces= [19:13:43] bawolff: thanks! [19:15:47] bawolff: is there a way to have the tree expanded by default? [19:16:18] fully expanded - I doubt it, it was designed with wikis in mind that had millions of categories [19:16:37] although perhaps there might be something I'm not aware of, check if the docs mention anything [19:19:55] bawolff: ok ty [19:39:49] can I create a internal link to a page, and have the link text automatically be the page title? [19:40:14] [[Page name here]] ? [19:42:49] bawolff: ahhh makes sense thanks!! [19:43:06] I was doing [[page_here]] as in the url [19:43:40] can you do [19:43:48] can you do the same with category links ? [19:45:50] [[:Category:Name here]] [19:46:08] or actually [19:46:21] [[:Category:Name here|]] is equivalent to doing [[:Category:Name here|Name here]] [19:46:46] oki [19:54:16] petan: Did you mean to link to a different section? What list of wikis to skip? ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Synchbot#How_do_I_make_a_request.3F ) [19:54:23] petan: Iet's Pathoschild's tool, not mine. [19:54:27] It's* [19:54:58] I did create a related tool people often use first, which is to autocreate your account on all wikis (so that this actually works) [19:55:03] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Krinkle/Tools/Global_SUL [19:55:28] Works in the browser [19:55:35] So horrbile, but oh so nice [19:56:25] Status: Made 4 auto-create attempts. [19:56:25] fa.wikivoyage.org [19:56:25] mai.wikipedia.org [19:56:26] or.wikisource.org [19:56:29] wikimania2016.wikimedia.org [19:56:31] Progress: 100% (723/723 wikis) [19:56:33] Yay [19:59:06] Hello all, I was wondering if anyone here has run the maintience/update.php on a copy of the wikipedia dumps. How long does this normally take? [20:00:02] I've never done it, but assuming you already have appropriate indexes (This will depend on the method of how you imported), it would probably be pretty instantanous [20:00:47] if your tables aren't up to date, possibly a long time depending on which parts are missing [20:01:09] Its been counting through "... Doing rev_I'd from ### to ###" [20:01:59] It made it up to 600 million something and then just a few moments ago it started back at 1 again and is up to 17 million + [20:02:20] hmm, well if actually has to make up dates, then it will take a long time [20:02:34] Its been running for over 24 hours >_> [20:03:18] I was jut curious if it was normal behavior for it to start back again ? [20:03:38] what's the actual line its doing? [20:04:08] rev_id [20:04:42] Currently on 17.33 million [20:05:40] I mean what is the actual log line for what it is doing [20:06:31] is it the rev_parent_id stuff? [20:07:22] I am running via command line, it says: "...doing rev_id from 17465517 to 17465816" [20:07:50] Not sure if exact number since its running by quite fast [20:07:57] thats ok [20:09:25] It seems to be doing more writes to the disk then reads this time through tho [20:09:30] Using iotop [20:11:32] I see no reason why populateParentId.php would restart, however the update immediately before that one is populateCategory.php, which also involves updating a lot of rows [20:12:32] Okay, I see so it runs through each column in the db [20:13:08] Not really [20:13:59] it runs through all the categorylinks, to make the category table which was introduced in that version. It runs through all revision rows to add rev_parent_id as that column is added in that version. Most db columns are untouched [20:14:43] Okay. [20:16:10] Alright thanks for your time. [21:14:34] I am new to the mediawiki community! Glad to be here! [21:17:14] ankg: welcome to the community [21:18:30] hi ankg [21:20:11] bawolff I've setup mediawiki core on my local. To start contributing should I start picking up issues from phabricator? [21:20:33] ankg: yeah, pretty much [21:20:54] although sometimes it can be hard to find a good first issue when you're just starting, so don't be afraid to ask around [21:21:19] Hey, I'm trying to debug an extensions's javascript with Chrome's dev tools. I'm running into an issue trying to step through the code, because it's being loaded during a document ready. [21:22:24] Rosencrantz: you should be able to insert a breakpoint and reload the page. It should break when that code executes (at least in Firefox that works) [21:22:49] That's what I was thinking, but the issue I'm running into is that the breakpoint isn't catching on page reload [21:23:33] I can try firebug really quick though [21:23:38] bawolff thanks! [21:24:48] or use firefox for that [21:25:15] Hmm.. firebug isn't even setting the breakpoint... [21:25:21] it's just giving me the waiting circle of doom [21:36:47] Hello everyone [21:37:41] bd808: Actually I was thinking the same thing. Probably using the whole setSchemaVariables method in the Database class [21:38:48] bawolff: as usual you are way ahead of me. I hadn't even looked to see if we had tech for that [21:38:54] bd808: Actually I was thinking of working on a patch for that bug [21:39:00] \o/ [21:39:10] .I am very much interested to contribute myself to mediaWiki as a project for GSoc 2015.what should I do for contribute for the wikimedia [21:39:26] We currently do something similar for database table prefixes [21:40:14] isuru: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker [21:40:30] isuru: this would be a good read too -- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 [21:41:49] @bd808 and bawolff thanks for your kindly respond [22:30:35] hi, I've got some problem with https://it.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Template:Pre2 Apparently, it suddenly has stop working and now it shows its HTML instead of its content passed through parameter #1 Any idea? [22:36:28] Andyrom75: was it working before this edit? https://it.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Pre2&diff=393925&oldid=168727 [22:38:09] Vulpix: nope.... much more before [22:38:35] I've tried with that edit to remove useless stuff [22:39:58] I've tried also in preview to substitute the whole content with just

{{{1}}}

[22:40:19] but it seems that tag "pre" has changed its behaviour [22:40:58] previously the wikicode was executed before the PRE tag, but now it seems that the tag has the precedence [22:42:11] Andyrom75: fixed, I think [22:42:12] Andyrom75: no, its always been like that [22:43:00] There is special casing to make

be treated like

I believe [22:43:10] bawolff: well, it has worked perfectly for a couple of years... [22:44:37] thanks Vulpix ! [22:44:51] nice idea for the fix! [22:45:26] try also {{#tag:pre|{{{1}}} }} [22:46:19] bawolff: ok, I'll try it now [22:53:40] bawolff: tried, but unfortunately it's not applicable in this specific case, because I need to specify some parameter to that tag [22:54:13] unless #tag, allow it in some way [22:54:26] Andyrom75: {{#tag:pre|{{{1}}}|style=foo|other_attribute=bar}} [22:54:35] excellent [22:54:38] let me try it [23:00:05] bawolff: thanks. Although it force me to use (in this case) a more verbose wikicode, the solution is cleaner and without the need of any tweak [23:28:04] Another phpunit question... I am running phpunit/phpunit.php and its not crashing (progress!) and now it is downloading something... [23:28:21] is that some external dependency I can get my distro's package manager to deal for me?
