[00:08:13] anyone here good with greasemonkey? Im trying to write a script to disable lazy loading as there is a fairly large lag for me [03:31:56] ^ [03:34:59] would bad things happen if i registered "Maintenance script" so i could flag it as a bot [03:44:12] i bet Fiona knows [04:14:59] !tias | c [04:14:59] c: Try it and see. You learn much more by experimentation than by asking without having even tried. [04:15:34] Fiona: i'm looking for precedence [04:18:00] Fascinating. [04:18:17] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Maintenance_script [04:19:43] https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACentralAuth&target=MediaWiki+default [04:20:35] is it a coincidence these accounts were created a week ago [04:20:52] the global accounts were created then [04:21:17] i.e. the accounts existed on-wiki but the global one was just created, likely by maintenance script [04:21:45] ok so creating it myself won't break the maintenance scripts that perform on-wiki actions [04:29:14] Account creation error [04:29:15] You have not specified a valid username. [04:31:01] Denied. [04:31:27] Fiona: even while logged into an administrator account [04:31:43] how do I "bot" maintenance script actions then?! [04:32:12] Which script are you having trouble with? [04:33:14] Fiona: the scripts run fine, they just flood recent changes [04:33:18] i want to hide all that [04:48:24] c: the name "Maintenance script" is reserved and can't be registered nor logged into [04:48:45] c: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgReservedUsernames [04:48:52] legoktm: as I just learned, is it possible to hide it's actions in recent changes? [04:49:10] you should have whatever maintenance script you ran flag its edits as bot [04:49:22] oh is there an argument for that [04:49:57] c: You still haven't said which scripts you're running. [04:50:29] well today I used importImages [04:51:59] wow, that script is pretty terrible :/ [04:52:14] well it works? [06:48:40] ./list [06:48:45] help [12:17:22] @seen rits [12:17:23] Niharika: Last time I saw rits they were quitting the network with reason: Ping timeout: 246 seconds N/A at 3/24/2015 1:44:52 PM (1d22h32m30s ago) [12:17:33] @seen rits_ [12:17:33] Niharika: Last time I saw rits_ they were quitting the network with reason: Ping timeout: 246 seconds N/A at 3/24/2015 10:59:16 PM (1d13h18m16s ago) [13:54:03] hi [14:01:51] adisha_, hey!! [18:15:02] Oh man. I'm stuck trying to fix my mediawiki - I'm getting a MagicWord.php issue but I did download the update that supposedly fixes the pcre compatibility bug. [18:15:22] I've turned on debugging if anyone wants to actually see the errors themselves. [18:15:28] (it's a publicly viewable website) [18:15:52] updating the localisation did not fix the problem as the documentation suggests. [18:17:54] niharika:upto what time we can submit proposal for gsoc [18:18:30] mdshekh: 27 March at 19:00 UTC [18:18:43] you might have seen the purple maker circuit boards at various hackfairs - it's the wiki for that: [18:18:53] http://wiki.oshpark.com [18:18:55] mdshekh: But we'd really prefer if you get them in much before that. To avoid last minute issues. [18:19:12] mdshekh: You can edit your proposal as many times as you like before the deadline. [18:19:49] mdshekh: And anyway it's the phab task that's more important, so updating that holds more importance than the proposal in melange. [18:20:01] yes i am currently working on it,i will try to submit it as soon as possible [18:20:07] Good. [18:32:20] rits: Around? [18:32:43] Niharika: yes [18:33:43] rits: How's it going? [18:35:11] Niharika: i am just completing my edits in phabricator :) [18:35:45] going to complete it just in few minutes [18:35:51] rits: What's up with the microtasks? [18:36:19] rits: You didn't show up for the meeting yesterday. Everything alright? :) [18:38:03] Niharika: i started working on it initially but still its not fixed, i am working on it [18:38:30] but because of my exams i couldn't fixed it [18:39:33] Niharika: As initial if the microstask is not completed would the student be not elgible for applying to GSoC and outreachy [18:40:23] rits: Well, you'd still be eligible but your chances drastically reduce. Especially if there are other students applying for same project and they have done microtasks. [18:41:43] rits: I'd suggest you finish up your proposal first and push it on Melange. And then carry on with the microtask. [18:42:02] Niharika: everything was alright with :) but my internet was ill :P , i wanted to ask you about the meeting , what things i missed [18:42:17] with me* [18:42:45] rits: Oh, we have logs up at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours/GSoC-Outreachy_2015_IRC_Party [18:43:15] Niharika: ah, yes thank you :) [18:44:01] Niharika: i will finish up my proposal by today and start working on the microstask then, thank you :) [18:44:18] rits: You're welcome. Hoping for a quick proposal and microtask wrap-up. Feel free to ping mooeypoo and mvolz if you have any doubts. They're both wonderfully helpful people. [18:44:57] rits: Also feel free to ask questions in the #mediawiki-visualeditor channel [18:44:58] Niharika [18:45:12] Right. [18:45:31] rits: mooeypoo said she would be on line, but she went home because she's still not quite recovered from being sick earlier this week [18:45:56] Niharika: yes they are really, :) they are always there to help, i will be in regular touch with them [18:46:29] Great! :) [18:48:26] RoanKattouw: oh, ok i was a little tensed about her not coming online, thank you, i will be on #mediawiki-visualeditor :) [18:49:29] RoanKattouw: thank you :) [19:10:39] niharika:can we edit our proposal in phabricator task beyond 27 [19:15:42] niharika:is it possible to so? [19:33:00] mdshekh: Hmm. Well, you can, but we would rather you not make any *major* changes. Adding new completed microtasks etc. is completely okay. Changing your implementation plan completely, not so much. [19:33:26] Niharika: hello, in phabricator numbered list is formed thorugh this # but its not making a numbered list its just showing a hash [19:33:45] rits: Ah. Wikitext not being parsed? Link? [19:34:04] Maybe you forgot to give a space after the #? [19:34:25] Niharika: its in preview actually i didnt submit it [19:34:37] Niharika: no i did give spaces [19:35:03] NIharika: i am making a numbered list in the table [19:35:29] rits: Oh. That's probably why it's not working. So just manually add the numbers 1, 2, 3.... [19:35:58] Niharika: oh, ok :) [19:42:04] Niharika: manually giving it a no. doesnt allow me to change the row the table is ended there when i enter through a new line and none of the bullets are working [19:42:44] rits: What syntax are you using to create the table? [19:43:08] | data | [19:43:22] Niharika: ^ [19:44:44] rits: I'm not sure why it isn't working. Leave the numbers out, maybe? [19:45:34] I think it's something to do with the syntax you're using, but I can't say till I see it. [19:45:59] but entering through a new line after a particular point is ending the table there [19:46:29] Niharika: oh ok i will submit it just then and then correct it :) [19:46:54] Okay. [19:56:47] [ Niharika , I'm logging in to Melange. Please wish me mental health and peace of mind. ] [19:56:56] :D [19:57:36] I hope Melange is less of a bother this time. I noticed they put in some improvements. [19:57:50] (Diffs in proposals being one of them) [19:57:55] * aharoni wonders how many proposed "Rewriting Melange" as a GSoC project. [19:58:21] And I have to create a new profile every year, right? [19:58:25] It does need a makeover. :P [19:58:31] One gets used to the madness, I guess. [19:58:50] aharoni: Well, I am not sure. I didn't create a new one and used my last year's profile, but I was a student then... [19:59:18] At least they send the t-shirts without problems :) [20:00:01] \m/ I'm all for goodies. [20:00:32] aharoni: I might have to ask you to sign up for Outreachy too. :P [20:00:46] But not tonight. I'll give you that peace for now. [20:00:58] :) [20:01:13] if they change the name to "outreachy", do they also change the mailing list? [20:01:36] the noise on the opw mailing list is almost unbearable. [20:01:53] aharoni: Yep outreachy-list@gnome.org [20:02:18] ok, let's hope it is different not only in its address [20:02:50] Hopefully. But after a few rounds, I expect it'll get as noisy. [20:11:07] subbu: Remind me please, do you speak Kannada? [20:11:34] aharoni, yes, i do. [20:11:50] In case you haven't heard, we just deployed ContentTranslation to the Kannada Wikipedia. [20:12:06] ooh .. nice :) and i hadn't heard. [20:12:07] So I'll use this as another excuse to thank you for Parsoid. [20:12:53] subbu: you are welcome to enable it and try to translate something: https://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%B6%E0%B3%87%E0%B2%B7:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures [20:12:58] glad! maybe i can get my dad to edit wikipedia that way [20:13:50] aharoni : I have forwarded to you the response I received from LanguageTool mailing list. [20:13:55] subbu: totally!!! that's my plan, too, when we enable it in Russian and Hebrew! [20:14:10] :) [20:16:00] ankita-ks: I'm on that list, too, you don't need to forward :) [20:16:06] but ask them also about traffic and about memory requirements [20:16:24] ah okay. I should've known. [20:16:41] aharoni, how do I access the content translation tools on kn.wp (i enabled it in beta features). [20:16:44] will do. :) [20:16:55] subbu: go to your contributions page [20:17:02] there will be a "new contribution" button at the top [20:17:07] Or just go to Special:CX [20:17:42] ankita-ks: by "traffic" I mean how much text goes back and forth per request. I suppose that it depends on the size of the input text. [20:17:52] and how much memory does the server need. [20:18:04] I know that machine translation, for example, needs a lot. Maybe this needs less. I'm not sure. [20:18:42] alright. thank you for elaborating. I was slightly unsure how to phrase that. [20:19:10] thanks. will play with it later. [20:20:30] subbu: great, thank you! [20:20:39] Niharika: what a brilliant UI: [20:20:46] "Role For Organization: Yes/No" [20:20:49] :D [20:21:10] Yeah, well. They don't have our awesome designers, do they? [20:21:15] Niharika: OK, I think I'm in. [20:21:28] Yep, you're in. Thanks. [20:21:41] ankita-ks: and maybe try to ask them whether it is able to handle many requests at once. [20:22:01] What do you mean by that? [20:22:13] as in is it multi-threaded or not? [20:22:24] Damni it, I'm really, really not a performance person. I'm really not. I just know that such things must be asked when installing servers :) [20:22:40] ah. okay :) [20:23:01] Let me ask around. [20:23:04] I mean, it's server, right? And it handles requests? And it may handle requests from a lot of people at once. So I'm wondering how many people is it able to handle. [20:23:22] As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure how many people are editing Wikipedia at any given time. [20:23:26] ah..okay. that makes sense. [20:23:33] hmm [20:23:56] In the English Wikipedia there can be many dozens of edits per minute. [20:24:21] (not counting bots, but bots won't use LanguageTool) [20:24:45] each of these edits is made by a person, and each of these can theoretically use LanguageTool, although probably not everybody will. [20:25:28] yes. Where do you think should I ask to get those stats? [20:26:01] #wikimedia-analytics is a good place to ask for information about number of Wikipedia edits. [20:26:17] okay. great! thanks :) [20:26:32] ankita-ks: about how much users load can LanguageTool handle - the LanguageTool mailing list. [20:26:45] yes, of course. :) [20:27:27] hi [20:27:33] I'm having a hard time trying to load MediaWiki:Common.css [20:27:37] I click "Modify wikicode" [20:27:43] I paste the css [20:27:47] Save.. [20:27:52] any idea? [20:28:20] I'm testing with the "alternance" table class [20:28:25] which doesn't work at all.. [20:35:06] hi! [20:35:17] i have a question concerning the wikipedia maps like [20:35:18] http://wma.wmflabs.org/iframe.html?48.8404_2.3108_0_0_de_15_de_48.83505821228028_2.319960594177246&globe=Earth&page=Institut%20Pasteur&lang=de [20:35:51] which plugin did they use? I have a semantic mediawiki running with semantic maps, but the map is not working like that [23:52:59] Hi, I just installed mediawiki and I'm trying to configure it. I am confused about User Rights. Target would be: Everyone can read; registered (with mail verification) users can create and edit Discussion; sysops can add pages and edit contents. Can someone help?
