[01:35:18] <[1]hypergrove> Can I call a template in {{DISPLAYTITLE:}}? I don't see it in the doc. i'm on 25.1. [02:11:31] [1]hypergrove: yes [02:17:04] what would cause this on Special:Search? [02:17:05] Database error [02:17:06] A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. [02:17:23] turning on error logging and php exception reporting gives no additional information of any kind. [02:17:42] and AFAIK this just now started for no apparent reason. [02:17:55] was working just fine a few hours ago [02:20:54] Quasar`: you tried $wgShowSQLErrors = 1; ? [02:21:56] Error: 145 Table './doomwikidb/searchindex' is marked as crashed and should be repaired (localhost) [02:23:51] Quasar`: use sql to repair the table [02:24:24] is there a fast way to find out if there's any other corruption? [02:26:11] Quasar`: I don't work with MySQL, but a quick search shows that there is a utility called `myisamchk` [02:27:18] https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/myisamchk.html [02:28:01] note you should shut down sql server prior to use [09:10:06] Hello, guys. Help me please with installing VisualEditor. The problem i have: in the save page dialog, when I try to click the Summary input field, the field immediately loses focus. Instead, focus is put on the article text in the background [09:10:06] Also the buttons in popup menu are too big and won't even fit into the layout [09:12:12] mediawiki 1.25.1, VisualEditor 1.0.1, Vector skin, TextExtracts, EventLogging, BetaFeatures, VectorBeta, Popups, PageImages [09:15:03] Vizu: asking on #mediawiki-visualeditor might get you help sooner [09:19:36] thank you ! [10:31:47] Anyone here used to working with the mediawiki api? [10:32:41] I'm struggling with the documentation a bit [11:18:07] Bears what exactly is thy problem? [11:19:33] I'm trying to get the links from this https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Client_Scripting_Functions [11:19:43] Some reason I cant figure out how to do it properly [11:20:37] Might be that that wiki is pretty oddly done, if I parse the templates I get like results in different languages aswell [13:47:38] I'm new to mediawiki. I want to install an extension (specifically Cite) in order to add references on my pages.The install instructions say that I should save the files in my extensions folder. I can't find such a folder. Should I create it myself? Where in that case? Thanks in advance. I hope this explanation was clear enough. [13:50:59] tglkj044: the folder should be there. if it's not, somethign is very wrong, or you are looking in the wrong place [13:51:34] you can create it if it has gone missing for some reason, but i recommend to make really sure that you are looking in the right place [13:51:51] (also, if you create it, make sure it has the correct file permission bits set) [13:56:12] Ok. I'm looking for it in my xampp folder which contains folders such as img, install, licenses, php, If that's not the right place, what is? I've tried to find it using the windows search tool but without success. [14:18:03] tglkj044: that depends on how and where you instaleld mediawiki. the folders you are mentioning don't sound like a mediawiki install. in a mediawiki install, there is no php folder, no img folder, no licenses folder. [14:18:48] tglkj044: maybe there's a folder called "w" or "wiki" or "mediawiki" or "mw!"? [14:20:12] https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Statistics#Obsolete_branches [14:20:14] :( [14:21:16] Ok. So among what files or folders should I find the extensions folder if not by the ones I mentioned? [14:31:17] DanielK_WMDE: Ok. So among what files or folders should I find the extensions folder if not by the ones I mentioned? [14:40:55] tglkj044: in the folder that contains the mediawiki installation. i don't know where to find that on your system. how did you install it? [15:48:01] Hello [15:48:50] On any of my category/list pages if I try to edit them it just goes to a blank white screen [15:48:52] http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Category:Guides [15:48:53] hello [15:49:11] hi [15:49:15] is it advisable to run mediawiki with apc PLUS memcached? [15:49:20] or is it better to use only one? [16:05:46] DanielK_WMDE: obviously. my question was what files or folders I can expect to find in the one that contains the mediawiki installation (the ones I already mentioned didn't sound right to you). What folders do you find among your extension folder and in what's the path on your system (since searching didn't work for me)? [16:06:19] Axelei: if you have only one web server, and not too many pages, APC alone should be fine [16:06:36] if you run out of cache, or you need to share the cache between app servers, use memcached [16:06:54] tglkj044: look for api.php [16:09:09] I'm getting the following when trying to edit a category page: [16:09:17] Strict Standards: Declaration of CKeditorParserOptions::getSkin() should be compatible with ParserOptions::getSkin($title = NULL) in /var/www/extensions/WYSIWYG/CKeditorParserOptions.body.php on line 3Warning: Missing argument 4 for PageSchemasHooks::render() in /var/www/extensions/PageSchemas/PageSchemas.hooks.php on line 21 Notice: Undefined variable: frame in /var/www/extensions/PageSchemas/PageSchemas.hooks.php on line 27 Notice [16:09:58] i don't find it. i find other php-files related to mediawiki such as localsettings.php though [16:10:41] i don't find it. i find other php-files related to mediawiki such as localsettings.php though [16:18:22] Here's the error I'm getting http://postimg.org/image/3z2w3wnbz [16:28:16] danielK_WDME: I found the extensions folder now. Thanks. [16:55:13] Sage: sounds like the version of CKEditor you are using is too old for the PHP version you are using [16:55:35] A quick solution would be to turn opff the strict standards warnings in your php settings. [17:15:03] :( [17:15:04] Your user rights were changed by Krenair. You are no longer a member of this group: Coders. [17:15:12] WHAT DOES THAT MEAN [17:15:19] the coders group? [17:15:33] yeah! [17:15:36] why was I removed?!!? [17:15:40] everyone was [17:15:43] whyyy [17:15:45] groups are good! [17:15:48] sense of belonging [17:15:52] it was a group for SVN code review [17:16:06] we no longer use SVN [17:16:25] :( [17:16:30] yet sense of belonging [17:16:43] a karass [17:24:51] Some wikis have a "former admin" group :) [17:31:07] Krenair: not a very clearly-named group, was it? [17:36:08] It was clearly named when it was in active use. [18:19:52] #query [18:51:25] Hey friends of the cyber realm! [18:54:07] At https://wiki.gamepaduniverse.com/wiki/Tutorial:How_OneDrive_Mode_is_constructed the last two thumbnails at the end of the page don't register the captions at all. I believe I am using the right syntax and format. How do I get the captions to display? [18:59:55] hi patheticsneeze [19:00:22] Hey MatmaRex [19:00:42] patheticsneeze: all the thumbnails seem to have captions, but they're all white text on white background. [19:00:59] awwww [19:01:03] see that now [19:01:06] you're using the correct syntax [19:01:08] changing css [19:04:53] MatmaRex:Bless [19:07:08] :) [20:04:39] I have the problem that even if the user is no admin it get showed in the search for admins [20:04:51] the user was admin but not anymore [20:05:43] the mediawiki login REST API is returning login success even for banned accounts [20:06:02] this seems to be neither obvious nor desireable? [20:07:09] why? [20:07:48] Vulpix: because if you are using Mediawiki as a single sign-on, abuse is allowed to continue on other wikis or sites relying on mediawiki for auth [20:07:55] why would you successfuly log in a banned account ever? [20:08:23] banned accounts can edit their own talk page (unless disabled otherwise) or even access their preferences [20:09:14] i did a rebuildall and now it works [20:09:17] :D [20:10:42] Vulpix, that's not intuitive given the supposedly proper return of "Blocked" based on the mediawiki API. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login#Errors [20:11:14] logging in a blocked user actually results in "Success" not "Blocked" [20:13:09] the actual behavior is expected. I don't know under what circumstances it's supposed to return "blocked", though [20:13:51] ahhh,. trelane` https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgBlockDisablesLogin [20:15:11] aah! [20:15:34] will update that list to reflect that config variable [20:17:22] Vulpix, many thanks!
