[00:11:18] I cannot display all information correctly in special:version for my skin named "Gamepad Universe" the license does not populate eventhough i entered in a value. [00:11:27] $wgExtensionCredits['skin'][] = array ( 'path' => __FILE__, 'name' => 'Gamepad Universe', 'url' => "[...]", 'author' => 'Paul Banwart', 'descriptionmsg' => 'gu-desc', 'license' => 'GPL-2.0+', ); [00:12:36] wiki is located: https://wiki.gamepaduniverse.com/wiki/Special%3AVersion [00:17:11] Sneeze: I think that should be license-name, at least afaik [00:19:26] Ugh. I knew it had to be something simple like that. Thanks. It works now. [09:06:31] Hey guys and galls. How do I link "Workshop" and "News" pages on the left sidebar in Mediawiki? I've lost them when migrating from 1.19 to 1.24. [09:14:37] Kostic, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar [10:07:08] andre__: thanks. [11:43:21] Greetings. [11:43:35] i have a question. [11:44:00] anyone alive? [11:44:10] !ask | Stinky [11:44:10] Stinky: 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. :) [11:45:13] I was wondering if there was a box i could create instead of using the coding box for an outline for the paragraph? [11:45:58] Like what i want to do it box the information sperately from the question. Example [11:46:36] Title would be on the top of this "box" and the information would be below in the box sortah off the the right a little bit. [11:46:53] Stinky: Have You examined the various Mediawiki box templates? [11:47:23] i guess i was searching the wrong stuff give me a moment and i will take a look. [11:47:46] Stinky: Google for: mediawiki boxed text [11:50:30] Thanks I found what I was looking for. [11:50:35] *thumbs up* [12:07:55] hello everybody! I've got a problem and I thought that this might be the right place to ask for a solution. I have been assigned to a project that is running MediaWiki ver.1.16.5. Now I'd like to update it but I haven't worked with MediaWiki before. Should I configure a new Wiki, install the few extensions that we use by hand and import articles & users (if possible)? I have no SSH access so I'm pretty much limited to ftp access : [12:12:58] may I assume that by posting my question into this channel I did something inappropriate? could you tell me where I should head to to post my problem? [12:16:31] lessing: What do you mean by update? Do you have another version of mediawiki running already? [12:17:47] no, but I think that it's not a good idea to keep an old version; we also have some problems due to bad maintenance in the past. I'd like to restart with a clean wiki [12:19:13] lessing: Okay. So if you don't have SSH, you can start with cloning the mediawiki repo from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git [12:20:30] lessing: Infact, if you are starting afresh and want mediawiki for development, its easier to use vagrant https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Vagrant [12:20:31] tarball might be easier [12:22:35] :D now u guys see me confused :D should I go with Git, Vagrant or a tarball archive? [12:24:02] wouldn't it be possible to 1) change rights to the config directory and to 2) reinstall (a new version of) MW? [12:26:13] ayushi: lessing: As far as I know, MW-Vagrant is a development environment and not for public wiki installs. [12:27:28] how do you change the background of the table of contents? [12:27:37] color* sorry [12:29:37] Niharika: Yeah that's what i said..or meant :P lessing: Tarball or git doesn't matter. Whatever suits you. Clone the new version and use the update key in your LocalSettings.php to update. Think that'll do. [12:30:06] thanks ayushi! I'm gonna try that [12:33:29] Stinky, that
has an id="toc" so you can set up custom CSS. [12:34:54] andre__: is there a wiki to explain how to do to it ? [12:35:03] im new to this haha [12:35:24] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Stylesheets [12:35:24] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:CSS [12:55:39] Hi. Can somebody help me on how can I add new languages to translate in? [13:56:36] Hi. How do I add languages in which I can translate in, in mediawiki? [14:01:13] ayushi: Better ask on #mediawiki-i18n. [14:06:22] Niharika: Okay :) [15:26:15] I am in need of assistance with a Mac/UNIX installation of mediawiki, which is not working [15:28:13] The API works from the web, but the index.php just hangs forever after loading the background image [15:35:57] Does anyone here know anything about getting mediawiki working/installation? [15:41:48] !ask | aquatiki [15:41:49] aquatiki: 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. :) [15:42:01] Oh, you're..okay. [15:42:24] aquatiki: Where did you get mediawiki? What is your setup like? [15:42:58] I had a working installation on my home computer, and then my Mac's HD died. I had to replace it and restore from a backup. I think some setting has been lost along the way. [15:43:20] PHP 5.4.30 is working [15:43:37] as is Apache 2.2.26 [15:43:39] Did you run maintenance/upgrade.php [15:44:03] yes. it all worked [15:44:09] Hm. [15:44:43] Did you replace LocalSettings from the backup too? [15:45:05] yes. LocalSettings.php seems to be OK [15:45:18] And the apache config? [15:45:52] where is that? [15:46:10] We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. [15:46:32] aquatiki: For now, please open your wiki and check the developer console for errors. [15:46:40] Failed requests, JS errors, etc. [15:47:14] Developer console? You mean on Safari? [15:48:52] aquatiki: Yes. [15:50:46] hi [15:50:51] The background image loads, and the HTML seems like it all the their, but it's still spinning its wheels [15:50:53] http://97.88.204.221/w/index.php?title=Latin:Mark/9/1 [15:52:55] One of several "load.php"s seems to be going on and on forever [15:54:07] Maybe it's a skin problem? [16:02:54] aquatiki: seems to load just fine for me now [16:03:23] !!! What?! It's my own computer and it works for you and not me?! [16:03:23] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !bribe, !hss, !tss, [16:09:53] Yep, works for me too. [16:13:38] WTH? What is wrong with me? Load.php is still spinning [16:15:44] must be a safari thing. My next door neighbor's wifi and Chrome worked. [16:18:49] aquatiki: Loads on my Safari. [16:21:52] Wowzers. This is some freaky curse. Well, thank you all. It is not my mediawiki install, so you should write this down as a success! [16:45:55] Why is my numbered list showing up all wrong here? http://wiki.octave.org/JordiGH:Sandbox#The_medcouple_kernel [16:46:09] There's an empty 1. before starting with the numbering I thought I requested in my mediawiki markup. [16:46:31] Where it says, "The kernel function is between -1 and 1" [17:13:10] JordiGH: why are you using a
  • tag? [17:13:22] Removing it would fix it, I guess. [17:41:34] Glaisher: Because I want to restart numbering from 3, not from 1. [17:42:10] JordiGH: Then just use the
  • tags only [17:42:11] not # [17:42:48] Glaisher: This seems to contradict the advice I see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List#Specifying_a_starting_value [17:43:18] I am wondering if it's just maybe a bug with my mediawiki version, 1.22.6 [17:43:35] Let me try rendering this on Wikipedia... [17:43:51] Works at Wikipedia, I just tried. [17:44:04] The exact same article? [17:44:06] Perhaps you have an old version of MediaWiki which doesn't support that [17:45:02] Okay, then I won't worry about it. This is an article meant for wikipedia. [17:45:12] I just didn't want to use wikipedia itself as a sandbox. [17:45:16] Glaisher: Thanks for your help. [17:48:40] Is it Mediawiki that has created 575 files named like magick-7EXbKRud to my /tmp directory? [18:25:01] I was just wondering, is there any way to tell what namespace/type of page is being browsed in the skin? I'd like to change some things for special and project pages, but I can't find anything on the topic [18:48:18] Still a draft? :) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_%28Notifications%29/Feature_requirements [18:50:20] I'm setting up mediawiki. I have ldap connection to Active Directory. After login I am stuck at "index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&action=submitlogin&type=login&returnto=Main+Page" [18:50:31] any idea what am I missing? [18:50:53] ldap log is clean.. [18:54:51] anyone? [18:55:00] stuck as in? [18:55:03] just no reply? [18:59:44] saper: nothing display in the browser [18:59:59] !debug | mallu [18:59:59] mallu: For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug . A list of related configuration variables is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Debug.2Flogging [19:00:15] enable mediawiki debug log and see what happens [19:00:48] saper: I have $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; [19:01:05] how do I enabled mediawiki debug? [19:03:20] mallu: ^ see urls above [19:03:24] $wgDebugLog and friends [19:03:39] is it running on unix/linux box? [19:05:49] Linux [19:05:55] Saper: iave $wgDebugLogFile = "/var/log/mediawiki/debug-{$wgDBname}.log"; [19:06:06] I have $wgDebugLogFile = "/var/log/mediawiki/debug-{$wgDBname}.log"; [19:06:21] but nothing in /var/log/mediawiki [19:06:22] did you test your AD connection using ldapquery from the commandline? [19:06:31] maybe there is permission problem [19:06:40] try "/tmp/mediawiki.log" [19:08:45] saper: I have this in my LocalSettings.php "$wgDebugLogFile = "/tmp/mediawiki.log" [19:09:02] saper: that is the first line in LocalSettings.php [19:09:09] still nothing in /tmp [19:09:38] I restart httpd after editing LocalSettings.php [19:09:49] do I need to do anything else? [19:11:26] strange [19:11:32] no need for rstart [19:11:36] check your php error log [19:12:22] mallu: did you try your AD access from "ldapsearch"? [19:12:42] saper: not yet [19:13:52] but check PHP log, there are certainly some issues there [20:00:38] hey [20:09:00] hello, I want to give a proposal and i have not worked in wikimedia development repository. How i have time to work on that after giving proposal? Please replay ASAP. [20:09:25] hello, I want to give a proposal and i have not worked in wikimedia development repository. How much time i have, to work on that after giving proposal? Please replay ASAP. [20:11:20] This is in the log we are getting "http://pastie.org/private/innaw71nr6amafbqst5waw#1" [20:11:43] saper: ^^ [20:14:45] anyone? [20:22:19] mallu: I was away [20:24:23] mallu: INSERT IGNORE INTO `user` ends with VALUES (NULL, 'X') [20:24:30] or did you modify this [20:25:42] because it is invalid SQL query [20:26:28] saper: no i didn't [20:28:15] mallu: add $wgDebugDumpSql = true; [20:28:18] how do I find out which script is calling this? [20:28:40] mallu: and $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; [20:29:12] ok [20:29:36] database error should show up [20:34:24] hello [20:35:20] saper: here is the log http://pastie.org/private/todgfrtm1bfli3ekd1ixq XXXX=ip address [20:35:47] mallu: i am new to irc [20:36:39] Koustuv: welcome [20:38:57] saper: so I don't see any DB error [20:39:26] how to use it? [20:39:47] is it similar to whatsapp or fb chat? [20:40:30] mallu: how to use it? [20:41:01] mallu: is it similar to whatsapp or fb chat? [20:41:29] yes, it is real time chat like FB chat or wahtsapp.. [20:43:55] mallu: right, there is no error [20:44:02] an after this? nothing happens? [20:44:33] Koustuv: hi, how are doing :) it's like FB chat only much better :> [20:45:40] saper: yes nothing happens after this [20:52:07] saper: do you think this is due to authentication issue? [20:56:36] mallu: how did you configure that? [21:03:29] saper: I have it configured in Localsettings based on this link http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication/AD_Configuration_Examples#Using_a_Proxy_Agent [21:04:21] saper: so I have a loadbalancer in front of this wediawiki server.. media wiki is seeing the loadbalancer IP [21:06:46] saper: http://pastie.org/private/erhqxrtayh9jo48ujw xxx= ip address. IP address is a roundrobin IP... do you think that cause any issue? [21:18:07] saper: Any idea? [21:30:36] mallu: this is fine [21:30:54] mallu: first I would check if your ordinary LDAP connection is working [21:31:29] saper: is there anyway to figure out the authentication is working as expected? [21:31:57] saper: ok [21:36:02] mallu: so do it from ldapsearch first [21:36:26] saper: ok doing that now [21:36:29] check php error logs [21:36:55] I did AD authentication for money for some customers, many things to check - if all lost use the network sniffer [21:44:20] saper: any quick example for ldapsearch? [21:46:59] saper: so ldapsearch is working [22:43:52] bd808: hi [22:44:03] is anybody from your team looking at LocalisationUpdate? [22:44:13] greg-g: ^ same question to you [22:44:37] aharoni: yes, tim is working on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T92900 [22:45:06] aharoni: but that is most likely not relevant to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T92823 [22:46:02] greg-g: ok [22:46:05] and there's also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T92721 [22:46:39] I wonder what's the right way to float / prioritize / poke about such things. [22:47:01] How should I tag them? It's more about fixing the servers than about fixing the extension. [22:47:13] Is "Deployment-Systems" the right tag? [22:47:21] deployment-systems gets them on my radar, I'm adding them to our team meeting now [22:47:31] greg-g: great, thank you. [22:47:50] andre__: Deployment-Systems is a well-named tag!!! :) [22:48:01] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70799 [22:48:07] remember that? :) [22:48:31] greg-g: now that you remind me, yes :) [22:48:38] :) :) [22:49:08] although that was before Phab. [22:49:23] I'll assume that Deployment-Systems is the right thing for Phab now. [22:50:55] aharoni: it is [22:51:15] "Description [22:51:15] Tools to deploy code on Wikimedia servers / cluster, including l10nupdate/LocalisationUpdate insofar it's specific to Wikimedia." [22:56:52] greg-g: ack. thanks. [22:57:29] aharoni: yuck, more than a year? [23:02:24] bd808: apparently. [23:02:35] I find such things occasionally for different languages. [23:02:49] Good that we have volunteers who bother to report such things. [23:04:01] I'd definitely find https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T92823 sooner or later, because it's my language, but I'd love to have something more robust. [23:05:02] greg-g: bd808: The general idea of LocalisationUpdate is actually something that we can be SUPER-PROUD of; let's keep it good. [23:05:11] Why should we be super-proud of it? - https://aharoni.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/continuous-translation-and-rewarding-volunteers/ [23:06:46] We fixed a long standing bug that was keeping l10nupdate from syncing HEAD messages every night as it is supposed to last week [23:07:07] we then proceeded to introduce a new bug almost immediately after [23:07:35] but that one is being worked on right now and must be fixed by Wednesday at the latest [23:10:03] bd808: great, thanks. [23:57:18] what is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Prianka doing? [23:57:44] prijaya__: are you ^ ? [23:57:55] Hi
