[00:01:58] How do I patrol a page creation such as this ( http://i.imgur.com/YjOVvJc.png ) after the page was moved to a new name? [00:09:45] Add the rcid of the unpatrolled creation edit to the query string on the new page [00:09:48] IIRC [00:10:38] It'd be nice if this bug was fixed. It's been around for years. [00:16:41] cgt: I figured that'd be the solution, but where do I get the rcid? [00:17:14] Click the link for the upatrolled page [00:17:18] it should be in the URL [00:17:21] again, IIRC [00:36:07] cgt: It's not there :/ [00:38:12] cgt: instead of it being an rcid, it's a redirect=no [01:15:45] cgt: I found the RCID. It's 676. What next? [07:35:55] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Extension_talk:Lockdown/Lockdown_and_VisualEditor_-_can%27t_edit_protected_pages [07:36:05] Anybody found solution for this_ [07:36:07] ?* [07:49:53] hello [07:50:56] I got an e-mail yesterday. I was wondering if it's legit because username is correct but e-mail address is wrong [07:51:24] MediaWiki message delivery left a message on your talk page: [08:11:00] Kartagis: likely legit [08:45:41] How do I enable editing of a page with VisualEditor which was previously protected with Lockdown extension? Normal Editor works on that page. The situation is the same as listed in this Talk: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Extension_talk:Lockdown/Lockdown_and_VisualEditor_-_can%27t_edit_protected_pages [09:00:59] legoktm: why the wrong e-mail address then? [09:40:06] hi! currently, extension VoteNY has onl one vote by id(one id per page). Can anyone see a way to add 3 more votes per page? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/VoteNY [16:00:36] Some aggregating needed :) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:AggregateGroups [16:02:55] the lack of h1 is making me uncomfortable [16:44:58] Query: does anyone know what parser/StripState.php does? It's not very well documented [16:45:22] (which I found out while trying to translate some Parser.php stuff to python. Quick and dirty, sadly ) [16:51:56] kim_bruning: iirc the strip state contains items that have been ‘stripped’ from the document temporarily during processing — mostly HTML chunks from extensions and things like [16:52:09] they get replaced back in at the end after all the wiki formatting has been done [16:52:23] Ah! Ok, that makes sense [16:53:22] Since I'm being Q&D atm I probably Don't Need That Right Now. (sadly), since it sounds a bit interesting to dig in to :-) [16:53:32] Thank you very much! :-) [17:02:37] :D [17:18:36] in other news: Python's builtin regexp sucks; but otherwise the same function translated to python uses less lines, is more concise and more readable;-) [17:18:52] (was doing doTableStuff) [17:25:17] Has there been any discussion around alerting extension authors using Google Code of the impending closure? [17:25:30] I'm sure they received some communication from Google [17:25:43] Hey, extension authors using Google Code: Move your code. [17:25:48] ckoerner: Good idea bud [17:25:49] Done! [17:25:59] hhe [17:26:03] ckoerner: But yeah, I got an email about it, I'm sure they sent it to everyone who has code there. [17:26:43] I fear that some of them will just evaporate and we'll not only have bad links on mw.org, but sad folks who use those extensions. [17:26:49] You could probably do a search on mw.org for "code.google.com" and find extensions that still have their code there, fork it somewhere else, and add the new link. [17:28:10] I assume I should attempt to contact the contributors first, then with blessing or no response fork em. [17:30:51] ckoerner, sounds very sane [17:31:02] leave a note who to blame if/when you fork [17:31:16] Worst case you can then always remove later (unlikely event) [17:32:25] Ok. I'll take a stab at it. There's about 30 something extensions in the "Extensions in Google Code version control" category. [17:34:00] How can I get jenkins-bot to monitor an extension? Whom do I talk to? [17:34:35] Yaron: when in doubt, file a bug [17:34:44] in "continuous integration" component [17:35:07] Yaron: see also: #wikimedia-releng [17:38:29] MatmaRex, greg-g: thanks. [17:54:15] hello everyone [17:54:42] i was wondering, is there a way by default in mediawiki, to cite like a "note" or "information" cell? [17:54:49] s/cell/element [17:55:21] like the "info" and "notepad" icons shown here, for instance: [17:55:22] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LinkHint [18:05:50] can any one tell is [18:06:46] can any one tell me what is the use of phabricator...?? [18:07:52] ari___: it's a bug tracker [18:11:45] do we have to post our proposals there...?? [18:14:30] ari___: Yes. [18:14:52] ari___: Look at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93106 for example. [18:51:01] hi to all :) [18:51:11] yo [18:51:22] Hey, how does mediawiki interface with the memcache settings in php.ini? [18:51:37] I have a question to ask. is the right place? [18:52:01] acquarica: That would depend on what the question is about. :) [18:52:01] acquarica, we're not telepaths, just ask it! ;) [18:52:37] MaxSem Niharika lol :) [18:52:39] I would like to have a simple slideshow of pictures on my page (with the arrows prev and next). you can do? [18:52:44] (Mostly I'm asking in reference to allow_failover and the redundancy stuff. [18:53:11] I can do it? :) [18:55:39] Rosencrantz, first of all, two APIs are supported, php Memache extension and a pure-php fallback [18:56:27] Niharika: can you help me? I am able to install extensions, but I'm not finding something simple [18:56:40] if you're using the Memcache class, http://php.net/manual/en/memcache.ini.php should be followed [18:56:57] is that what you asked about [18:57:20] Yeah, that's what I'm asking about. I'm working with the sys admin on setting up some memcached load balancing and he was asking. [18:57:31] Rosencrantz, also WMF uses Nutcracker for failover/redundancy [18:57:49] acquarica: I'm don't have much idea about it, sorry. [18:57:50] (I mostly just handle mw upgrades extensions, etc.. ) [18:57:52] Hmmm [18:58:10] Niharika: ok thank [18:58:18] MaxSem: can you help me? I am able to install extensions, but I'm not finding something simple [18:58:24] (well, not for redundancy:P) [18:59:02] Hmm.. I haven't heard of it before... [18:59:04] acquarica, I tried a quick search and couldn't find anything [18:59:07] (to google!) [18:59:24] MaxSem: uhm ok, :( [18:59:30] MaxSem: thank you [18:59:55] maybe with a more exhaustive search [19:00:43] MaxSem: I'm trying, but I find nothing [19:04:23] acquarica: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SmoothGallery Status unstable though. [19:04:58] MaxSem: I'm not finding a whole lot, is there anymore information about Nutcracker that you've got? [19:05:58] Niharika: i had seen, certainly does not work with the latest versions [19:06:22] acquarica: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Image_Gallery This? [19:06:53] acquarica: Check this https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Image_gallery_extensions and see if you find anything useful. [19:07:05] Niharika: "Lists all images in the wiki, ordered by date (most-recent first)." I wanna see only one set of pictures [19:07:12] Niharika: thank you [19:14:43] thr is a problem when i am extracting the mediawiki file from mediawiki site [19:14:49] i was wondering, is there a way by default in mediawiki, to cite like a "note" or "information" element? [19:14:50] what should i do...?? [19:15:12] ari___: what sort of problem? any error message or anything? [19:15:20] ys [19:15:23] yes [19:15:48] would you care to share the contents of this error message so we could be of further assistance? [19:16:22] it is showing in between of extraction that :cannot create symbolic link [19:16:36] on what operating system are you? [19:16:42] 8.1 [19:16:56] that's a version number, i presume you mean windows? [19:17:10] obvious [19:17:14] is it? [19:17:20] yes [19:17:23] not to a mac user... [19:17:45] i downloaded the1.24.1 version from site [19:17:49] okkie [19:18:38] and how are you extracting the .zip file, just with the default functionality in Windows? [19:18:50] as in, you're not using WinZip or WinRar or anything like that? [19:19:19] my guess would be to check into the file system permissions of the directory where you are trying to extract to [19:19:27] i am using Winrar [19:19:44] ok, i would recommend that you try to extract a .zip file using just windows, then [19:19:57] it is a .zip file, correct? [19:20:38] oh, hmm... on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download it says: [19:20:42] "This is a .tar.gz file. If you are on Windows, you can use 7-Zip to decompress it." [19:20:50] yes [19:20:53] have you tried using 7-Zip like they recommend? [19:20:56] i am trying again [19:21:01] cool [19:21:33] are you trying to install mediawiki locally? [19:22:41] extraction done [19:22:47] what next [19:22:55] what next what [19:23:00] yes i will install it locally [19:23:14] can you help me in installing it...?? [19:23:30] have you read this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide [19:24:07] for installing locally do we need to have apache server...?? [19:27:26] you could install and configure apache/php/mysql yourself... or you could try something like XAMPP [19:27:31] XAMPP: https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html [19:27:45] it is showing access forbidden [19:27:47] doing it on your own: http://www.avajava.com/tutorials/lessons/how-do-i-download-and-install-the-apache-web-server.html [19:28:03] i have xamp [19:28:13] and apache installed [19:28:26] ari___: __what__ is showing access forbidden? [19:28:46] remember, i can't see your screen [19:29:27] my screen is showing access forbidden [19:29:37] once i type on the browser that link [19:33:27] okkie its done [19:33:37] thanks for the help [19:36:16] but now there is another problem [19:48:58] short question, has the talk page for an article the same page_id and only an other namespace? [19:49:18] lbenedix: why don't you find out? [19:50:09] I try to find out by asking people who are very experienced with mediawiki [19:51:14] Rosencrantz, https://github.com/twitter/twemproxy [19:53:29] lbenedix: Why don't you find out by checking on a MediaWiki wiki? [19:53:52] but no, I don't think that is the case [19:54:05] I'm quite certain that a pageid uniquely identifies a page [19:54:16] any ide, how I get the talk page for a page? [19:54:28] but you really should at least try to figure things out for yourself before asking [19:54:38] lbenedix: Prefix its title with "Talk:"? [19:55:04] but this wont work with the page_id [19:55:19] so look up the title from the pageid [19:56:01] I assume you're using the API? [19:56:20] action=query&prop=info&inprop=talkid should do the trick [19:56:25] I recently upgraded to 1.24.1 and now I have noticed that sortable tables an collapsible text are broken. How can I get these fixed? [19:56:40] action=query&prop=info&inprop=talkid&pageids=PAGEID [19:58:12] thx! [19:59:05] lbenedix: but seriously, try to figure things out for yourself. I didn't know how to do it and it took me a moment to figure it out. [19:59:16] anyway, I'm going to bed now [19:59:23] night cgt [19:59:31] night [19:59:57] anyone ever set up a template, such as /w/Template:Note? [20:02:11] jfive: yep [20:04:14] Rosencrantz: I'm trying to set up simple templates like Template:Note and Template:Warning [20:04:23] Rosencrantz: do i have to go out and find my own images for the icons? [20:04:40] Yeah, you *might* be able to use stuff off of commons. [20:05:50] for example, i see this page: [20:05:51] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Warning [20:06:05] Right [20:06:24] but but when i view source... and put that in my own wiki's Template:Warning [20:07:13] it doesnt' work at all [20:07:36] I'd suggestion using Special:Export to grab all of the related templates [20:07:50] Do you have scribunto? [20:07:54] It probably uses some LUA stuff too [20:07:59] (I think mbox is lua ) [20:08:16] i do not have scribunto, no [20:08:25] Ahhh [20:08:44] Well then you can try looking back through the history of Template:Mbox to find a non-lua version [20:09:07] It sort of becomes a fun exercise in "Let's try stuff until we find something that works" [20:09:16] Or you can install scribunto [20:09:20] Up to you [20:09:36] Or just make one yourself really [20:09:48] I think it's really just a table with an image on one side [20:10:29] that's really all my Note template is [20:15:05] people should just refrain from copying templates from en.wp, they're overly complicated [20:16:22] many templates are done with reusability in mind, like if wikitext were a programming language and templates were classes that could be inherited from. But no, that approach is simply wrong! [20:20:53] on doing vagrant provision I get this https://dpaste.de/QLk6#L19 can someone help me solve these errors? [20:21:58] Rosencrantz: awesome, i've got it now thansk [21:01:42] I am in charge of upgrading our wiki servers at my work. We currently use mindtouch core, but it is no longer an active project. Is there a way to migrate data to mediawiki? [21:13:35] whois tom39away tom39away [21:16:31] mgooley, not that I know about [21:16:37] you can do some google searches [21:16:50] in general, migration scripts are written once then discarded [21:17:30] so it's hard to find a script suiting your migration, wharever you are migrating from [21:18:19] right, mostly I think it would be better to go with a solution that is supported [21:25:59] you can import into mediawiki in several ways, but getting your old data into a suitable format would be up to you :/ [21:29:16] are there any resources on importing into mediawiki? [21:30:29] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps [21:30:40] you could also create an ad-hoc maintenance script, of course [21:31:13] Okay, thanks. That's helpful. I'll see what I can do. [21:31:26] that's a format to which MediaWiki can export its pages [21:31:51] if you can get mindtouch core contents into that... [22:48:59] I have setted my table prefix to "something_" in LocalSettings.php but when I run php maintenance/update.php, the php script writes out "Going to run database updates for database-something_" instead of "Going to run database updates for something_database".
