[00:38:02] <RetroGamer>	 I was wondering how to make an .ogg file playable on a page with Mediawiki version 1.21.1?
[00:39:18] <J1G|Anon126>	 RetroGamer: you need the TimedMediaHandler extension
[00:39:25] <J1G|Anon126>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler
[00:40:36] <RetroGamer>	 Ok... why isn't it possible without an extension in this version of Mediawiki, out of curiosity?
[00:42:41] <J1G|Anon126>	 resources, mainly
[00:43:01] <J1G|Anon126>	 some sites don't need embedded audio/video
[01:48:16] <hypergrove>	 hi - i am installing 1.25 with cli script and it's asking me: user home: _____ what is this about please
[01:48:55] <hypergrove>	 havent found anything using google
[02:02:39] <solarquest>	 what's an extension that could be used for private messaging on a wiki that doesn't want to enable Special:EmailUser?
[02:07:24] <hypergrove>	 ah thanks found my error
[02:07:38] <solarquest>	 wow, this channel is pretty quiet compared to how it used to be
[02:28:07] <Krenair>	 solarquest, there are different levels of activity at different times of day
[02:28:12] <Krenair>	 right now it is 02:30 UTC
[02:57:38] <Betacommand>	 solarquest: given the day of the week and time its not surprising to be low traffic
[07:25:43] <albertcoder>	 Hi Reedy, I just checked the deprecated variable "table_type" being used in MediaWiki 1.23.8 (at my localhost) using grep.
[07:26:15] <albertcoder>	 Should I work on this (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73566) to make a patch of it? 
[07:31:25] <albertcoder>	 @ Any other MWikian, is this worth working? So far I have researched, this bug hasn't been solved atleast in MediaWiki 1.23.8. 
[13:57:31] <mario___>	 how json files such as en.json are used for setting label in core?
[13:58:54] <Vulpix>	 they are read, parsed into objects and used as dictionaries for system messages
[14:00:10] <Vulpix>	 !i18n | mario___ 
[14:00:10] <wm-bot>	 mario___: See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Internationalisation for developer help on MediaWiki internationalisation. To translate MediaWiki in another language, please visit http://translatewiki.net
[14:00:45] <mario___>	 thanks
[14:41:57] <albertcoder>	 Hi legoktm I am interested in working on Improving static analysis tools for MediaWiki
[14:42:30] <albertcoder>	 Are there any micro tasks that I can take up?
[15:15:27] <mario___>	 vulpix:if i have added new message key in en.json in i18 then how do i sync it with core
[15:16:08] <Vulpix>	 what do you mean to sync with core? I suppose your changes are in "core", no?
[15:22:48] <mario___>	 vulpix:i have added a new message in en.json,another part of it was  already there,for some cases previous message has to be used  and for some cases new message then where do i need to modify to  take this effect  
[15:24:38] <Vulpix>	 mario___: you should find where in the code want to display your message, based on that logic
[18:18:48] <albertcoder>	 Hi Niharika
[18:19:07] <Niharika>	 Hi albertcoder.
[18:19:29] <albertcoder>	 I am interested in a couple of projects. For eg:  Improving static analysis tools for MediaWiki
[18:19:43] <albertcoder>	 but I am not able to see any micro tasks there.
[18:19:54] <albertcoder>	 How should I proceed?
[18:20:55] <Niharika>	 albertcoder: You can work on any easy tasks, even though they aren't absolutely related to the project. 
[18:21:22] <Niharika>	 albertcoder: Phabricator has an Easy tag for trivial bugs. 
[18:21:58] <albertcoder>	 Yes I did find some bugs which I can solve. For ex: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73566
[18:22:14] <albertcoder>	 but I am not sure if a patch for this has already been accepted or not.
[18:22:45] <albertcoder>	 I could see someone having submitted one but the bug is still open despite the submission of patch.
[18:23:32] <albertcoder>	 Should I make a patch  for this bug??
[18:24:38] <Niharika>	 albertcoder: I'd advise you against it. It has a patch merged and going by the comments, another patch in pipeline. Pick another bug?
[18:26:50] <Niharika>	 albertcoder: Look at the tagged projects. Try to find easy bugs in those. 
[18:29:05] <albertcoder>	 Niharika: Sorry but what's meant by tagged projects and how can I find them?
[18:30:37] <albertcoder>	 Earlier I found the bugs and microtasks from here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/
[18:30:45] <Niharika>	 albertcoder: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89682 See "Projects" under Subscribers.
[18:31:33] <Niharika>	 You see two project there: Mediawiki-Codesniffer and Continuous-Integration (apart from three other GSoC-related projects).
[18:31:51] <Niharika>	 Clicking on these tags will take you to the workboards for these projects. 
[18:32:06] <albertcoder>	 Yes, found them.
[18:33:54] <albertcoder>	 One more thing, whom to contact in case the author of a bug is bot? like this one https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T48995 ?
[18:35:35] <Niharika>	 albertcoder: Add comments to the bug instead of trying to contact specific people. The notification reaches all the subscribers (mostly). 
[18:36:28] <albertcoder>	 Yeah I did already on a few. Waiting for response. Thanks a lot. :)
[18:37:06] <Niharika>	 albertcoder: Not reasonable to expect responses on a weekend. You'll probably get replies during the next week. 
[18:39:27] <albertcoder>	 Alright Niharika thanks! Meanwhile I will try to grapple with the bug. :)
[18:39:49] <Niharika>	 albertcoder: Good luck!
[19:08:20] <ankita-ks>	 bd808 : This is a general query, what are the probable use cases (or advantages) of installing mediawiki inside vagrant?
