[01:22:07] I am having what I think is a css problem. When I hover over mathematics it enlarges! I want it to stop doing that. Can someone help me? [01:22:25] Check this out: http://drmf.wmflabs.org/wiki/Continuous_Hahn [01:22:53] It started happening when we upgraded our firefox version. [01:23:17] If you hover over mathematics, the math spreads out! [01:23:33] I'm using Firefox 38.0 [01:31:09] Howie, I think Firefox has the enlarging animation in its default CSS? [01:31:29] Can I turn it off? [01:31:59] Not sure, all I did was examine the browser styles for the equations and I found animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1); [01:32:33] then again, there was the same animation for regular text elements too so I'm not sure [01:34:52] Howie, or maybe its getting bigger because it's treated as an ? [01:35:15] Ok if that's the case, how do I stop it? [01:35:35] I need it to be a hyperlink, I just don't want it to change size, color or anything when I hover over it [01:41:16] Howie, sorry, I have no idea, but someone in this channel should eventually [01:41:43] You could change the settings to use only images, rather than MathML, but then you would get less-pretty math [01:42:02] right, I want the MathML [03:52:59] !style [03:52:59] To change styles for your wiki, go to one of the MediaWiki:xxx.css wiki page (NOT a file) and put your custom styles there (sysop/admin rights required). MediaWiki:Common.css is for all skins and should be used for content styles. MediaWiki:Vector.css is for the Vector skin (default), etc. For more information, see !skins and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/CSS [05:06:09] say, is it a bug that Special:ListGroupRights (1.25.1) includes, for Users, [05:06:10] Edit pages protected as "Allow only administrators" (editprotected) [05:06:46] I havent changed any rights to speak oif [05:10:05] hypergrove: ummm, in the stock mediawiki settings? [05:10:26] yeah just downloaded [05:10:57] http://54.149.69.117:8191/Special:ListGroupRights [05:13:28] heavily extended wiki, maybe one of the extensions is doing it [05:13:43] hypergrove: that would be my guess...not what I'd call "stock mediawiki" though :P [05:16:16] right... noting mw.org doesnt have this problem [05:25:07] hey all, is it possible to implement a auto-login feature for mediawiki ? [07:03:46] Hi, I removed a page from Translation in Translate extension and now I can't recreate its subpage with "/en" suffix because it says "This page is locked because the translatable page is currently being moved. [07:03:52] " What can be done? [07:11:22] hey all, I could not find the php_ldap.dll file in my /ext folder so I went to downloaded and copied into that folder. Also, I went to add in the extension = php_ldap.dll line into my php.ini file [07:11:50] gleki: which wiki? [07:11:52] But when i try to run localhost/phpinfo , it gives me 500 internal server error. why is that so? thanks [07:12:32] gleki: maybe it is still being moved? make sure your jobqueue is empty by running php maintenance/update.php [07:12:46] XYZ_, look it up in server/php error log. just a 500 is not informative [07:13:20] Hi, it gives me this error [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: php-cgi.exe [07:13:38] uhhhh [07:13:55] why in the world would you use CGI? [07:14:04] I've already exhausted all my google links but still could not find the solution . If it helps, my PHP version is 5.3.3 (cgi-fcgi) [07:14:30] It's not set by me, my company want to use it. [07:14:37] premature end of headers migh mean the cgi executable is crashing [07:14:40] is CGI not good? hmm. thanks [07:14:49] it's slow as hell [07:15:42] also, does your company want to be hacked that much it's running a version with a million security holes? [07:16:14] I guess they will be upgrading to a newer version later [07:16:35] 5.3.3 is what, 5 years old? [07:17:09] Do you have any experience with LDAP Auth? I am trying to implement an auto login feature to mediawiki . [07:17:21] hehe, right - 22 Jul 2010 [07:18:53] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication ? [07:19:23] Yeah, I read up on it already but still could not know how to configure. Perhaps is due to the absence of php_ldap.dll file. [07:20:51] php_ldap.dll has to be built against the particular php version you have. that's probably why it's crshing [07:21:30] But the version I downloaded is the same as my PHP version. Not sure why it doesn't work :( [07:23:29] have you read http://php.net/manual/en/ldap.installation.php ? [07:25:33] Yup, I did as follow. Copied the libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll files into my C:/PHP directory :/ [07:26:38] is C:\PHP in PATH? [07:30:25] in PATH meaning? [07:31:15] https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+path [07:34:07] Yup, C:/PHP is in my PATH. [07:34:30] C:/PHP or C:\PHP? [07:34:44] ಠ_ಠ [07:35:44] C:\PHP\; [08:14:08] hi [08:14:27] do we have any tool to count and list users who have certain amount of edits in certain time? [08:24:14] any help for this ? "Flow\Exception\InvalidDataException from line 49 /srv/mediawiki/extensions/Flow/includes/Model/UserTuple.php: No wiki provided " [08:24:23] it's when trying to update database [08:26:35] If this is the wrong place, my apologies and a redirect is welcome: I'm running MW 1.23.8 with the Collection (1.7) and Lingo (1.2.0) extensions and am trying to figure out how to prevent tooltips from being rendered in epubs. [08:26:50] (We're running our own render server) [10:49:28] I'm trying to install Infobox extension and keep getting error "Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "11"." Any advice please? [11:03:57] install lua and in LocalSettings.php set $wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['luaPath'] to the path to the binary [11:05:30] thanks for your response. i've tried this, however the error then changes to 126 [11:05:48] $wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['luaPath'] = '/extensions/Scribunto/engines/luaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic'; [11:06:44] i believe it could be a directory issue - however i've followed the path down to that folder so can't think what other directory i need to enter [11:08:48] this is the error produced in the log (once i enter a path to the binary) [11:09:08] exec: /extensions/Scribunto/engines/luaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic: cannot execute: No such file or directory [11:43:43] Farril: try installing lua separately and point to that [11:44:48] i didn't even realize it bundled binaries (though i'm on freebsd so it makes more sense to not use one of those binaries anyway) [11:44:51] is there a guide on how i do that? I know pretty much nothing about mediawiki and extensions so have just been following guides [11:45:19] i can an export script from wikipedia for infoboxes, then an import script on my site [11:45:23] ran* [11:46:01] just install lua with your package manager and then point the configuration at wherever it installs the lua binary [11:46:10] lua 5.1 that is [11:46:44] sorry for my idiocy - whats a package manager? [11:47:14] apt-get, yum, pacman, pkg [11:47:23] i should have asked if you had shell access [11:47:50] i'm not sure if i have the capabilities to use that method. i run on shared hosting so am just using ftp to push files up [11:48:14] i got ahead of myself and forgot that a lot of people don't have that kind of access [11:48:24] (for mediawiki) [11:48:50] i do have shell access (using cpanel with my host) - however i've no idea how i even start to use it [11:49:21] you wouldn't likely have the ability to start installing things anyway [11:49:58] likely not [11:50:08] check that the file is actually there (it should be) [11:50:27] my guess is that the file is there but you aren't allowed to execute it [11:50:53] i've got execute permissions on all the folders [11:51:09] you need execute permission on the binary too [11:51:24] the folder is there [11:51:29] extensions/Scribunto/engines/luaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic [11:51:38] inside is just 1 file [11:51:40] called lua [11:51:45] no extension [11:52:10] oh, you need to tell it the file, not the directory [11:52:21] does that sound right? it also has execute permissions [11:52:33] i think i tried that [11:52:36] i didn't see that lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic was a directory when i first looked [11:53:19] The interpreter has terminated with signal "11". [11:53:29] its just updated to this error now [11:53:38] also you need to give it the full path (and i wouldn't know how your hosting provider has thing s organized) [11:53:59] well media wiki is installed at /w/ [11:54:06] it *might* work if you just leave off the leading / [11:54:29] currently its - $IP/extensions/Scribunto/en.. [11:54:41] oh, that should work then [11:55:41] iirc that is [11:56:39] still the same when i remove it and try without a / etc [11:58:16] Farril: Just for reference, signal 11 is segmentation fault I believe [11:59:06] the fix people suggest for signal 11 is adding a lua path - which is what i did to get that in the first place [11:59:57] do you know if i'm getting a signal 11 fault - does that mean my lua path is now correct? [12:00:26] Can you execute the lua binary just normally? [12:00:57] Is your server 64bit linux? [12:01:23] it's linux, but i'm not sure if 32 or 64 [12:01:36] Run the command uname -a [12:01:37] currently i'm point at the 32 folder [12:02:35] i dont think i have access to run commands from anywhere. i only have access to a cpanel [12:03:16] Hmm, well try both the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version, and see if either works [12:04:29] i've tried both - both still give me the signal 11 error [12:05:32] * bawolff doesn't know [12:06:58] i'm at a complete loss :( surely extensions shouldn't be this difficult [12:07:26] There's several other things I could suggest, but they all require shell access [12:08:04] Hello all! I have a question about converting wiki table into excel spreadsheet. If I use Text Import Wizard, it always treats one pipe '|' as a delimiter, however I need it to handle only two pipes as a delimiter and treat single pipes as part of text. How can it be done? Thanks! [12:10:32] its working! [12:11:04] i've no idea what changed - didn't touch my directories, but suddenly it's showing up [12:11:42] many thanks for your help bawolff and robots [12:25:19] I think I got it :) If somebody wants to know how I solved it, let me know :) [12:36:56] Hi, I'm trying to add RST files to the wiki [12:37:01] Is possible? [12:40:43] Kalendium: mediawiki uses its own wikitext syntax [12:41:33] It's possible to convert RST to ir so? saper [16:23:19] How can I send multiple messages to several users with MassMessage? [16:40:31] ... [16:41:39] For one to hath receive knowledge, one must hath patience for said knowledgeth. [17:31:03] how do you called the media team, what is their channel? [17:34:28] Juandev, multimedia? [17:34:44] #wikimedia-multimedia [17:34:46] well, there is VE team [17:34:47] ok [18:21:00] Is it possible to add html attributes to wikitext list markup (* and #)? Or if you want to do this do you have to use actual HTML markup (i.e.,
    ,
  1. ,
      )? [18:21:37] you need to use HTML [18:24:22] saper: OK, thanks. [18:25:06] If you want to do it on an entire page or site wide basis via an extension or common.css [18:25:15] (you can do it via) [18:32:45] Rosencrantz: I don't think I'm understanding what you're saying. Can you elaborate a little? [18:40:01] Well if you want to change all of * or #'s on your site you can do it via CSS styling inside your sites MediaWiki:Common.css [18:45:04] The CSS extension can define CSS on an individual page by page basis,. [18:45:05] Rosencrantz: Right, but what if I want to style different lists differently (which is why I want to apply attributes in the first place) [18:45:47] Then yeah, if it's individual lists on the same page, then yeah, you'd have to do it in HTML [18:47:13] Is there a Mediawiki help page that lists all the elements that you *cannot* apply HTML attributes to? [18:49:27] What I mean is, all the *wikitext* elements that you can't apply HTML attributes to. [18:49:42] such as lists, for example. [18:49:56] I think it's really only tables, rows, and cells that can take them in straight wikitext [19:05:24] Hi ya'all. [19:05:28] Do any of you know [19:05:35] The API query to get a list of subpages? [19:06:28] ResMar_: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apprefix=User:Catrope/ [19:06:40] Great, thank you. [19:06:52] WTF why does that not work [19:07:07] Oh duh [19:07:08] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apnamespace=2&apprefix=Catrope/ [19:07:13] Yeah [19:07:16] You have to separate the namespace and the title :S [19:07:16] Getting badtitle errors. [19:07:25] I should know better, I wrote some of this code [19:07:41] Really? [19:08:01] *Why* is all the useful data buried in three layers of JSON then? It's a pain to extract through... [19:08:22] haha well for *that* I claim innocence [19:08:27] The pageid key in particular. [19:08:29] It was already like that when I started working on the API in 2007 [19:08:30] It's a totally random key! [19:08:33] Yeah it's a bit annoying [19:08:38] Do you know about &indexpageids=1 ? [19:08:39] Your key is a random numver! [19:09:09] WRONG IT'S A SEQUENCE FROM HERE TO ETERNITY! [19:09:33] Also &formatversion=2 [19:09:49] ResMar_: It's not buried behind three layers of useless JSON, it's buried behind you using the wrong format to see the three layers of super-useful XML. :) [19:10:13] marktraceur: Not sure if you're being ironic. [19:10:21] Yes, no, either, both [19:10:37] Wait no it doesn't work that way. [19:10:44] You have to chose one of those. [19:10:46] ResMar_: MediaWiki development is like that sometimes. Half the time everything we've done is a great idea, the other half of the time we all want to self-immolate [19:11:07] marktraceur, only self- ? :P [19:11:21] * marktraceur no comment [19:12:04] Come on even *I* know you don't make a key out of an effectively randomly generated pageid. The rest of it'd be fine but that just...no. [19:12:17] But it's not random! It's sequential! [19:12:22] You just don't understand the sequence! [19:12:35] And in the XML (the original API format) it's not a key! [19:12:52] What happens if you do an API query to get the pageid? [19:13:04] That's some...really circular logic, holy smokes. [19:13:04] The pageid of what? [19:13:31] ResMar_: If you were retrieving all 36,407,465 pages at once, it would make sense [19:14:41] Anyway. Back to wök. [19:15:20] ResMar_: I'd take an order of fried rice. :) [19:16:19] Just let me put down your credit card number and I"ll send it riiiiight over. [19:16:50] While I'm here, who came up with the namespace numbering scheme [19:17:06] 828? 2600? 108? Wh---why. [19:17:20] ResMar_: Same principle as z-index wars and port numbering [19:17:28] Everybody wants the low numbers and the cool numbers [19:17:52] Namespace 666? Sorry, already taken by Extension:Doom. [19:18:20] If I was a manager. [19:18:23] I would hate developers so much. [19:18:24] ResMar_: serious answer: >100 for user defined namespaces, > 500 (or >1000 depending on who you ask) for extension namespace, 0-100 for builtin [19:18:38] TIL. [19:18:44] We need namespace registration. [19:18:51] * marktraceur looks for that RfC [19:18:55] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_default_namespaces [19:19:00] ^ [19:19:13] Oh hey actually [19:19:20] You guys might find a project of mine interesting, on that note. [19:19:28] One sec let me find it. [19:19:37] and Semantic MediaWiki uses namespaces starting from 100 lol [19:19:56] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Associated_namespaces#Namespace_registry_and_association_handlers [19:20:00] From 2014... [19:20:09] !hss | Vulpix [19:20:09] Vulpix: ZOMG!! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/6/69/Hesaidsemanticga2.jpg [19:21:48] Hey guys so can you do me a favor. [19:21:54] Click on this link and tell me if you see anything: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=edit§ion=new&preview=yes&editintro=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Templates/Index_preload&preloadparams[]=incubator [19:24:31] Damn it, looks like I have to fix more stuff I didn't realize I broke. [19:35:07] ResMar_: I see things, yes [19:35:54] As far as I can tell, it works on PC, but does not work reliably on a Mac. At least, not on my Mac. I need to track down what the issue is. [19:36:02] What is your OS? [19:36:40] wait what? OS should not matter [19:37:48] I mean...I think so too but there's some sort of problem somewhere. [19:38:00] I see things (linux), but preloadparams[] doesn't seem to be working [19:38:20] Yeah, that's the problem. [19:38:40] Please please please don't mean that preloadparam[] is broke on non-Windows computers. [19:38:49] oh wait [19:38:59] its because I was looking for it in the editintro [19:39:14] but preloadparam is for the stuff preloaded into the edit box [19:39:47] For reference, you're supposed to be getting a list of articles tagged a certain way and some basic data visualizations about it. [19:40:36] that is definitely not happening [19:41:33] It's not happening for me either on a Mac. [19:41:45] It works fine on the platform I developed it on, Windows and Firefox. [19:41:48] *rubs temples* [19:41:51] I don't think its supposed to be happening [19:42:12] What s? [19:42:18] Or isn't in this case. [19:43:08] preloadparams only applies to the text inside the edit box, it doesn't apply to the help text (the "Editintro") above the edit box [19:43:45] Yes, but that content is being loaded into the edit box and previewed. [19:44:06] What confuses me is that I have nothing in my edit box, but the basic templates are still loaded and previewed on the page. [19:44:25] The editbox is supposed to contain a single parameterized template string. [19:44:39] ResMar_: you have the wrong url. What you want is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=edit§ion=new&preview=yes&preload=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Templates/Index_preload&preloadparams[]=incubator [19:45:03] Oh thank god. [19:45:31] What's the difference in the URL? [19:45:50] you were using the editintro= url parameter, you needed the preload= url parameter [19:46:07] I see. [19:46:17] Okay. I have a wiki set up, have shell access to the server, but I don't remember the password, and there is no password set for Admin. Help, please. :P [19:46:18] editintro is for some help text that's not part of the stuff you want in the edit box, and also ignores preloadparams [19:46:38] Okay, found https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Resetting_passwords [19:46:54] polybuildr: also, you can just use createAndPromote.php to make a new crat user [19:47:08] bawolff: alright, thanks! [19:47:09] I wonder when that error crept in. [19:48:05] So returning to my current project, I have a specific technical challenge. [19:49:38] As an aside, I'm impressed by the magic wikicode graphs [19:50:00] The visualizations? [19:50:06] They're going to be replaced. [19:50:08] yeah [19:50:23] Now that the Graph API is out, we have a less hackish way of doing native data viz on-wiki. [19:50:56] * bawolff also totally didn't know that lst was enabled on enwiki [19:51:16] Enabled everywhere yeah two weeks ago. [19:51:21] You'd know if you read the Signpost ;) [19:51:59] Anyway, my problem is that I need to get the most recent subpage of Wikipedia:Goings-on [19:52:10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Goings-on [19:52:14] nonetheless, an impressive abuse of image map [19:52:29] So RN that would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Goings-on/May_24,_2015 [19:52:33] Oh I didn't write that [19:52:58] Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Chart [19:53:20] Holy **** that's a lot of code. [19:54:57] If anybody knows any good dark corners of the internetz, please put a link to http://honeypot-wiki-alpha.wmflabs.org/ there. It's a honeypot to collect spam. [19:55:29] I feel like if I was a spammer [19:55:35] I would at the very least check [19:55:39] To make sure that whatever I'm spamming [19:55:47] Doesn't have 'honeypot' in the name, you know? Heh. [19:56:06] ResMar_: What if you were a bot? [19:56:25] Though I get your point. :P [20:16:33] polybuildr, would http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers/479050-wikispambot-v2-dominated-google-serp-wiki-backlink-scrap-spin-submit-ping-100-autopilot.html be suitable? [20:17:16] GEOFBOT: wow :P [20:17:28] are you really posting links to 'good dark corners of the internetz' in this channel? :/ [20:17:39] How would I go about formatting a named parameter to a template with pre tags? [20:17:57] sorry :/ [20:18:59] * bawolff wants to read that, but that's sketchy enough name I feel like I should use tor [20:19:39] bawolff: Visited it, doesn't seem dangerous to just load. :P [20:19:57] bawolff, "on this thread i will give special discount price of my amazin software,i called its wiki spam bot" [20:20:13] it's pretty old (~2011) but that site seems suitable [20:20:29] GEOFBOT: It probably is. :) [20:20:49] I shalt activateth da manual spambot! [20:21:22] Written like a true spammer, with coloured text [20:22:22] is there any way to get named parameters to expand inside a
       ? or some alternative that will get the same result?
      [20:23:48] 	 {{#tag:pre|Stuff inside pre tag. {{{1}}}. foo bar}}
      [20:24:11] 	 Ahh. Thank you.
      [20:40:11] 	 bawolff, polybuildr, made the first post ehehehe
      [20:40:36] 	 it's not easy to pretend to be a spammer (i think I went a little overboard)
      [20:41:28] 	 GEOFBOT: where? put the link on some pastebin and link back, maybe?
      [20:42:06] 	 polybuildr, http://pastebin.com/XHCW6CbT
      [20:42:51] 	 GEOFBOT: lol! :D
