[09:14:21] <eranroz>	 AbuseFilter/Regex question: is abuse filter support negative look behind? (trying to define a regex for repeating char, that IS NOT within a template or external link - heuristics is OK)
[09:18:49] <eranroz>	 never mind - the "solution" is to use negative lookahead for [\|\}\]] "far enough"
[13:43:53] <comets>	 does the "Flow talk page manager" ever stop posting in the mediawiki wiki?
[14:05:08] <theatrex>	 Hey everyone. I am having issues uploading files to my Wiki. I am getting a permissions error in the /includes directory.
[14:13:09] <theatrex>	 Is there a certain permissions bit I need to set the includes directory at?

[16:50:13] <slyv>	 Hey - I am trying to use Wikimedia commons images and for some reason, they are not loading properly on my wiki. I just recently migrated the server with all files/database to a new one, so I did not change any configuration settings but for some reason the commons images don't seem to load on the new server.
[16:50:30] <slyv>	 See here: http://iiwiki.com/wiki/Loft_S%C3%BCndstedr
[17:34:05] <Nemo_bis>	 slyv: did you follow the troubleshooting instructions for SSL stuff
[17:34:11] <Nemo_bis>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/InstantCommons#HTTPS
[17:39:32] <slyv>	 @Nemo_bis: Yep, and the firewall, etc..
[18:00:52] <savagecreature>	 Greetings.  I'm having a great deal of difficulty finding instructions on how to create a skin for my wiki (so it matches my website). Does a tutorial using short, easy to understand sentences exist, and if so could someone please point me at it?
[18:03:43] <savagecreature>	 The FAQ says "edit a wiki page called MediaWiki:Common.css" but I have been unable to locate said page.
[18:09:14] <ptrz>	 can I upgrade from 1.23 to 1.25 through mw-config?
[18:11:54] <andre__afk>	 savagecreature, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skins
[18:12:20] <savagecreature>	 Thank you very much andre! I'll see if I can figure it out
[18:16:39] <ptrz>	 there isn't an easy way to make a certain namespace open for public reading, right?
[18:16:57] <ptrz>	 it seems that $wgWhitelistRead only takes page names
[19:37:51] <vonStrauss>	 I liked Mediawiki 1.11 better
[20:09:15] <Nemo_bis>	 vonStrauss: some remarkable things happened in 1.12 too! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Why_upgrade.3F
[20:12:36] <vonStrauss>	 Thanks, I'll check it out
[20:27:12] <eranroz>	 I remember there is/was a config var/language var to enable/disable suffix links (e.g whether to parse [[word]]s as [[word|words]] or [[word]]<nowiki>s</nowiki>). Where can I find it? (didn't find in DefaultSettings - though I may jsut skpied it)
[20:30:45] <eranroz>	 never mind - found it in MessagesXX as linkTrail
[20:30:49] <Nemo_bis>	 eranroz: search linktrail
