[01:00:04] Hi all, any can help me? [01:00:27] For some reason we can't see the links placed on MediaWiki:Sidebar (we only see the ones by default) and the links of MediaWiki:Grouppage-x are all in red [01:00:50] The wiki is: wikimedia.org.ve [01:10:54] !ask [01:10:54] 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. :) [01:10:59] White_Master: ^ [01:16:23] Negative24, i asked up [01:19:38] Negative24, For some reason we can't see the links placed on MediaWiki:Sidebar (we only see the ones by default) and the links of MediaWiki:Grouppage-x are all in red [01:19:39] The wiki is: wikimedia.org.ve [01:23:04] one sec... [01:25:03] np [01:32:02] White_Master: the problem is that you're using regular text and not system messages [01:32:30] notice how the main page line says mainpage|mainpage-description [01:32:38] it doesn't display like that [01:33:06] instead it takes the text from MediaWiki:mainpage and MediaWiki:mainpage-description [01:34:57] White_Master: see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:System_message [01:35:28] and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Customize_the_sidebar [01:36:54] oh wait...scratch everything I said before [01:37:33] heh [01:40:32] White_Master: try editing http://wikimedia.org.ve/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar/ve&action=edit [01:40:53] that's the one for your language [01:42:09] Negative24, not Sidebar/es? [01:42:24] Done, i edited Sidebar/ve [01:44:03] did it work? [01:44:14] * Negative24 doesn't speak languages [01:44:50] Negative24, nope [01:45:34] then try /es [01:46:39] Negative24, i edited too /es but not work :/ [01:48:00] White_Master: do you know who has shell access to that wiki? [01:48:25] Negative24, yes, i. [01:49:41] White_Master: try following https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Changes_not_showing_up [01:52:06] Negative24, i used purgeList.php [01:52:20] er [01:52:28] and rebuildLocalisationCache.php --force [01:52:32] heh [01:52:57] try the mysql truncate [01:54:35] I wonder how ops does it [01:57:13] sorry I have to go [02:29:15] Hey! [02:29:45] I have a MediaWiki installation on an IIS server. I'm trying to install a few extensions. [02:30:18] The thing is, if I go to mw-config/index.php, the installer doesn't recognize the older install [02:30:36] It'll just go through the usual steps you'd get when installing a new mediawiki site [07:11:59] hi [07:12:48] how to change the link title of this link? == [[:Category:STuff]] == [07:14:12] oops, missed the piped link in the docs [09:24:33] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages#mw-specialpagesgroup-login has an empty bullet, ideas? [11:16:22] is there a way to get the actual image url from the image namespace such as http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Albert_Einstein_Head.jpg? [11:16:35] using mediawiki api? [11:34:33] codezee: yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Albert%20Einstein%20Head.jpg&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url [11:36:05] eranroz: I get it, thanks :) [13:25:57] When one makes a reference like [[irc:whatever]], MediaWiki (on Wikipedia at least) makes a link for Freenode. Where is this behaviour defined? (Asking in part since I'm curious as to why the links did not refer to Freenode over SSL.) [13:43:08] Ah, hm, in a table in the database, it would seem [13:44:52] Ah, Special:Interwiki! [13:59:42] are there a few folks around that could do the ElCom a quick favor and help test the SecurePoll setup real quick? we’re just trying to catch any bugs in the verify process and certificate process in loading the poll :) [13:59:53] Link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/vote/337 [14:06:41] seems to work for me [14:08:40] MC8: great - thank you [14:10:49] Hm, where would one go to suggest a change to the interwiki table? [14:13:35] pred: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Interwiki_map [14:14:08] varnent, alright, thanks; was browsing the repos. :) [15:01:11] hey [15:02:12] Hi slacker. [15:02:22] can i get some help here? [15:02:31] !ask [15:02:31] 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. :) [15:05:03] How to fetch particular article when there are articles with same names. I tried lookin in the mediawiki FAQ but I couldnt find it. [15:08:10] slackR: you can't have more than one article with the same name; MediaWiki doesn't allow it. [15:09:24] uh, not like that. Like If i type Apple. It can output info about Fruit or about that tech company. How do I specify which one I want [15:09:26] ? [15:10:03] slackR: in MediaWiki, the two articles have to have different names. [15:10:32] See here, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_(disambiguation) [15:10:39] well then can you please tell me how they are differntitted [15:11:23] They're differentiated via different names. [15:12:39] Yeah I got it. Thanks. And is there any way to print those list? [15:14:04] List of what? [15:14:49] I dont know what The person might be searching for So I want to print out whatever apple related articles are present [15:16:05] If they search for "apple", they should see the full list of pages whose title includes "apple". [15:16:34] yes, that's what I want to do. [15:17:20] I'm saying, that's what happens already when you search. [15:18:12] okay, so ill be getting the output in json format. I meant what do I do from there? [15:19:00] How are you getting it in JSON format? [15:19:45] Im fetching the file in ruby. [15:21:06] I don't really understand, but - if you have a set of search results in JSON, what else needs to be done? [15:21:20] yes [15:22:26] No, I'm asking you - what needs to be done? Aren't you finished already at that point? [15:23:09] no, wait le me show you an e.g [15:25:41] Yaron: https://dpaste.de/kDNv/raw [15:25:51] The first one doesnt give me any results [15:25:58] whereas the second one does [15:26:32] wiat [15:26:35] got it [15:26:46] I had missed a '.' [15:36:58] Hey! I would like to have a page where users (or anonymous visitors of the wiki) can send an e-mail to the wiki's admin. [15:37:05] Is there such an extension? [15:38:55] kikero: [[Special:Emailuser]]? [15:44:59] saper: hmm, I would prefer something less personal. [15:45:08] i.e. send a mail to admin@mywiki.com or such [15:52:23] kikero: Well create a user WikiAdmin (this is actually the default) [15:52:45] and say [[Special:Emailuser/WikiAdmin|Contact the administrator]] [15:52:56] or call the user "site's administrator", whatever :) [15:57:15] kikero: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Contact_form_extensions [16:06:38] saper: man, this is a really cool idea [16:06:40] thanks! [16:13:40] Another happy customer^G [16:44:14] jeroen, r u around? [16:56:07] does anyone know when 1.24.3 is coming out? [17:08:24] Wow! Am I seeing this correctly... WMF code using NAMESPACES!!!! omg! [17:08:50] for quite a while now :P [17:09:17] which code? [17:09:22] But but but! They are bad for performance and have such a bad syntax and are so much like java [17:09:26] Should not use them at all [17:09:33] Bad things will happen [17:10:10] JeroenDeDauw: wait, did you miss the email where we're switching to jPHP? [17:10:56] YuviKTM: jPHP? :D [17:11:16] https://github.com/jphp-compiler/jphp [17:12:22] lolwat [17:13:06] <^d> JeroenDeDauw: performance in 5.3 was eh and syntax still sucks :p [17:13:17] <^d> But we use hhvm now so who cares? :D [17:14:54] <^d> JeroenDeDauw: hehehe https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/205992/ [17:17:03] ^d: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/205992/5/autoload.php [17:17:04] >_> [17:17:10] The manual classmap is still real [17:17:29] <^d> No, we have a script! [17:18:08] ^d: well, I could +1 your change, though then some people might no longer want to merge it :D [17:18:19] <^d> I need to finish making it not ugly [17:18:27] <^d> Lots of redundant "Profiler*" in places. [17:22:28] <^d> Speaking of lolwat... [17:22:30] <^d> https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/207722/3/includes/specials/SpecialStatistics.php [17:24:03] globals and 5 levels of indent? what's not to like [17:26:05] that commit message is particularly... useful [17:27:05] Pffft. All this nitpicking about commit messages. I change mine here twice already and bet you people will complain even more https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/119476/ [17:33:21] JeroenDeDauw: It can always be more specific [17:33:37] <^d> I left a comment about the commit message. [17:33:42] <^d> Also about a...great many things [17:38:06] "after of this commit remember do a git reset hard" [18:13:19] Is there an external editor for Mediawiki? [18:22:09] FlorianSW: wikibugs updates magically, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrit-wm needed a restart [18:35:50] Iiiiiit's grrrrrrrrit! [18:36:22] Did the parse API change in regards to redirects? [18:39:12] I'm pretty sure it broke http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=nYC&redirects [18:42:43] eranroz : Hi [18:43:23] I have been away for quite some time now. End semesters. :| [18:44:25] I have been catching up on everything. So I am creating the subtask we have been asked to. [18:45:07] I don't see aharoni around. So i suppose I will just drop him a message and wait for him to get back. I was hoping we could discuss the timeline in detail. [18:58:25] anomie: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=text&page=nYC&redirects=true Yup it broke, there should be (IIRC) "redirects":{"from":"nYC", "to":"New York City"} in there [18:59:46] Dispenser: Yup what broke? [18:59:58] The redirects options for parse [19:00:40] Or at least it changed breaking my code [19:01:41] valhallasw`cloud: sorry, was afk :) can you restart it? [19:01:51] FlorianSW: already done! :) [19:02:00] valhallasw`cloud: great! Thanks :D [19:02:10] ArticleTitle = (obj.parse.redirects != "" ? obj.parse.redirects[0].to : obj.requestid) [19:11:51] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24#Release_schedule says it should have been released 2 days ago, but I don't see any update about it [19:16:12] ^d: ^ [19:18:52] <^d> UserProd, legoktm: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_1.24&type=revision&diff=1637071&oldid=1627696 [19:20:00] okay :) [19:26:06] :( [19:26:36] UserProd: why? [19:26:45] please don't tell me we're going back to the old way of random releases every 9 months [19:27:18] UserProd: someone has to have patches to backport...otherwise there's nothing to release [19:28:45] right, but I liked having the predictable release schedule [19:29:24] if it's just cancelled for the month, that's fine, but an announcement would be nice [19:29:38] that's probably a good idea [19:29:44] * legoktm points to ^d [19:30:38] also, will there be a 1.25 RC this week? [19:42:49] <^d> UserProd: I said I'll do a beta1 of 1.25 next week [19:42:55] <^d> (little early for an rc) [19:55:51] cool, thanks! [21:51:58] valhallasw`cloud: can you check, if change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/208135/ is pushed to the tool labs account running wikibugs2? It seems, that we still get wikibug messages into #wikimedia-mobile and the labs-tools-wikibugs2-autopull failed :/ [21:52:19] FlorianSW: ohh! [21:52:59] webservice probably died; sorry, hadn't noticed the failure [21:53:27] valhallasw`cloud: no problem :) [21:54:51] FlorianSW: pulled correctly now; should update at the next message [21:55:04] (it won't leave the channel, but should shut up) [21:55:57] valhallasw`cloud: alright, thanks for fixing it so fast! :)
