[00:07:39] <internetman>	 is there a tag or something to indicate that there should be a reference?
[00:14:29] <Nahiyan>	 {{citation needed}}
[00:14:35] <Nahiyan>	 well in wikipedia
[00:27:53] <internetman>	 Nahiyan: hm doesnt work on mine. and it doesnt look like its an extension
[00:49:22] <Nahiyan>	 it's a template
[00:49:47] <Nahiyan>	 see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Citation_needed
[00:49:49] <Nahiyan>	 internetman, 
[00:50:58] <Nahiyan>	 if you want to export that template to your wiki you might want to cut out only specific portions
[00:51:40] <Nahiyan>	 the wikipedia one is a bit complex and uses a general Template:Fix and many more things..
[00:51:50] <Nahiyan>	 e.g. categorisation
[01:08:58] <Krenair>	 $wgAutopromote['sysop'] = array(APCOND_ISIP, '141.163.4.11');
[01:08:59] <Krenair>	 oh god
[01:17:33] <internetman>	 Nahiyan: thank you
[01:19:48] <Nahiyan>	 you can try just a barebones <sup>[<span style="font-style:italic; font-color:blue;">citation needed</span>]</sup>
[01:20:11] <Nahiyan>	 internetman, the colour is a fake link
[01:24:37] <internetman>	 Nahiyan: exactly what i needed :D
[01:25:37] <Nahiyan>	 however you can also do this
[01:27:05] <Nahiyan>	 <sup>[''[[WP:Wikipedia:Citation needed|citation needed]]'']</sup>
[01:27:09] <Nahiyan>	 which will provide a real link
[01:27:17] <Nahiyan>	 to wikipedia's version of citation needed
[01:27:34] <Nahiyan>	 I mean this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed
[01:28:41] <Nahiyan>	 internetman, you might also want to take a look at this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Inline_cleanup_tags
[01:31:23] <internetman>	 Nahiyan: ah, ill make my own page then :)
[01:31:34] <Nahiyan>	 alright
[01:32:15] <Nahiyan>	 there's the Help or PROJECTNAMEHERE namespaces specifically for pages like these if you want
[01:32:23] <Nahiyan>	 so the Main namespace isn't polluted
[02:40:31] <omosoj>	 i'm trying to use the ruby library to access the wikipedia api and having a hell of a time. a few things aren't working
[03:04:12] <omosoj>	 my bad, seems to be working fine

[03:33:06] <basile>	 hmmm; Is it possible to use .mw-ui-button on a block element?
[03:37:36] <Fiona>	 Probably.
[03:40:16] <basile>	 I'm writing my first user script, and I seem to be able to handle localStorage on my first day of JS, but CSS remains a mystery to me.
[03:40:58] <basile>	 I just want to float the damn thing.
[03:59:57] <Fiona>	 First day of JavaScript?
[04:00:16] <Fiona>	 basile: Try float: left; or float: right;?
[04:00:28] <Fiona>	 You can also specify display: block; or display: inline; to override default behavior.
[04:00:32] <Fiona>	 Or display: inline-block;.
[04:00:36] <Fiona>	 Also, linkkkkkkkkk.
[04:31:05] <basile>	 Fiona: Yes, first day of JavaScript. I've tried float left & right, and display block. I don't have a link (yet), I'm working offline. But it's getting late so I'm probably going to call it a night.
[05:29:39] <kruti311>	 Hi all, I am Computer science student looking out for OPW internships provided by Wikimedia?
[05:30:13] <kruti311>	 May I know if this is the right place to ask for?
[10:02:50] <ryRubyy>	 How to add a special namespace that is forbidden to guests? thanks
[10:25:28] <Nemo_bis>	 (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access)
[12:46:23] <aaaa^>	 does mediawiki have a fixed left menu extension ?
[13:12:23] <Betacommand>	 aaaa^: see the sidebar
[13:12:30] <Betacommand>	 !sidebar | aaaa^ 
[13:12:30] <wm-bot>	 aaaa^: To edit the navigation menu on the left, edit page [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] on your wiki using its special syntax (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar for details). If you need more control, you can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinBuildSidebar).
[15:09:10] <cmdgy>	 I've add a 'ajaxpoll plug-in in my wiki, but I couldnot find the vote button. Does anyone know whats wrong with it?
[15:19:14] <hypergrove>	 hello. I must download 1.20 and found http://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/. I see mw-1.20.8.tar.gz (18M), mw-core-1.20.tar.gz (17M) and mw-1.20.8.patch (3.1K). Is the 20.8.tar = 20.8-core + 20.8-patch, and 20.8.tar is the one I should download? Thanks
[15:26:09] <hypergrove>	 would appreciate some advice
[15:59:14] <hypergrove>	 hi all - how are template calls edited by a user using mw's visual editor? thanks very much
[16:00:04] <hypergrove>	 thanks i see
[16:00:09] <hypergrove>	 bye
[20:26:54] <FernandoBasso>	 How to define mediawiki as a dependency in composer.json?
[20:28:05] <FernandoBasso>	 I tried { "require": { "mediawiki/mediawiki": "1.24.1" } } it composer install said that package was not found.
[20:46:55] <legoktm>	 FernandoBasso: MediaWiki isn't installable via composer like that.
[20:47:24] <FernandoBasso>	 But how can I deploy it on heroku then? Look: http://pastebin.com/7HiCVAdk
[20:48:23] <FernandoBasso>	 If I have a composer.json and run composer install, it will create a composer.lock. A composer.lock file must be a valid, parseable file, it seems (I can't simply add an empty composer.lock file).
[20:48:57] <legoktm>	 Just run "composer update --no-dev" ?
[20:49:24] <legoktm>	 1.24.1 didn't have any production dependencies iirc, it was just for dev dependencies like phpunit
[20:52:02] <FernandoBasso>	 All right. Thanks.
[22:11:53] <malaverdiere>	 Hey everybody. I wondered if anybody has tried web crawlers on Mediawiki. Any suggestions?
[22:36:16] <Krenair>	 malaverdiere, google indexes wikipedia pretty well
[22:36:37] <malaverdiere>	 Krenair: I certainly hope so!
[22:37:11] <malaverdiere>	 I am trying to get execution traces, and Mediawiki has a lot of features. So I wondered if there was a good crawler for that
[23:00:16] <cgt>	 toblerone: I see you.
[23:00:25] <toblerone>	 hi
[23:00:27] <toblerone>	 : )
[23:00:39] <cgt>	 Maybe we're all ghosts
[23:01:02] <toblerone>	 very strange. I couldve sworn this was empty. Oh well.
[23:02:55] <toblerone>	 I've been trying to find a way to get the content from a particular template on a given page. For instance, given pageid "123" I want to get the content from "Template:Foo". I'm guessing that there is no straight forward way to do this as there could be many instances of  "Template:Foo" on any given page...
[23:04:40] <toblerone>	 I've seen "expandtemplates" but that doesn't seem particularly useful given that I must first extract the wikitext im interested in
[23:23:26] <cgt>	 toblerone: I don't know of such a query, but I am not an expert. Maybe try the API mailing list.
[23:24:43] <toblerone>	 cgt: thanks, ill look there
