[00:43:47] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Pinophyta tmromllmdlwm [00:44:03] sorry [00:50:58] I've got my mediawiki behind multiple mod_proxy proxies. it's showing a private IP in its output.. inconsistently. sometimes it uses $wgServer , sometimes the IP. What the... ? [04:35:16] Is it possible to delete all orphaned pages? [09:10:45] Is anyone there? [09:10:56] nope [09:12:36] I need some help on Wikipedia with a table template. It appears to have conditional coding and I have failed to activate it for use in an article. I'm not very experienced with technical stuff on Wikipedia and I am not sure how to make it work. Please help. [09:16:54] Hello? Can somebody please help me? [09:18:21] Hoping that someone can help. I have recently restored two wikis from a backup after a harddisk failure. The wikis make use of a single MySQL database, each of them using prefixed tables. One of the wikis is running just fine after the restore; the other one is not. The issue is that all of the content on the malfunctioning wiki's main page is gone; the page just displays the sample text "There is currently no text in this page. [09:18:48] Even worse, I cannot edit the wiki's main page: clicking the edit button when registered brings up the message "No such section --- You tried to edit a section that does not exist. Since there is no section , there is no place to save your edit." [09:19:01] What's also confusing is that all of the other pages seem to be fine; I can search for pages, and clicking on "Random page" does what it's supposed to do. I can also edit all other pages except for the main page. Has anyone come across anything remotely similar? [09:19:10] Version information: MediaWiki: 1.14.0 PHP: 5.2.11 MySQL: 5.1.37 [18:19:32] hi mediawiki. why is mediawiki.legacy.shared.css being loaded on my pages? when/how is the legacy shared module loaded? [18:22:53] i see, it's coming from monobook, which i'm extending. thanks for listening. [18:24:29] hello, what does it mean when a bot is very slow at doing what it's doing. Fuzzybot for extension:translate only does 2 actions per minute.. [18:24:55] whenever I leave the site it pauses his actions [18:26:31] firebus: that CSS is used by all skins that have any CSS at all, according to the code [18:27:11] i think my issue is that, my skin's css that used to override the shared stuff, is now not overriding b/c the new version has more specific selectors... [18:27:36] does anyone know about how the bots work or not [18:27:53] guest22: patience [18:32:20] wmat: yup, that was the issue. [18:32:36] what does it mean when a bot is slow in editing? [18:33:55] what does it mean when a bot is slow in editing? [18:34:24] what does it mean when a bot is slow in editing? [18:35:08] everytime I come here, i never get any help, close this shit down if there are no active people helping. [18:35:30] either your bot is slow or your wiki is slow [18:35:32] either your bot is slow or your wiki is slow [18:35:33] either your bot is slow or your wiki is slow [18:36:50] phh, that helped. [21:16:32] Is there an existing config option in MediaWiki to automatically create a user page when an account is created? Like a welcome bot, but for the user page. [21:20:01] guillom, NewUserMessage does talk pages iirc [21:21:08] you could probably hack it to make user pages [21:21:15] Thanks, Krenair [21:21:41] Office IT wants me to file a phab ticket about it, so I will. [21:22:16] :| [21:22:52] guillom, what. [21:24:31] guillom: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount adds user page when user creates account (but it also requires confirmation of beurcrat) [21:26:09] Krenair: More context: When we hire people who aren't Wikimedians, creating a user page on the office wiki is one thing that they're supposed to do "quickly", but it's not trivial for newbies. So the goal is to have OIT's Python account creation script create a stub user page for the user. But OIT wants me to file a task about it in Phabricator, just in case other people in the MediaWiki universe want to do this as well. [21:26:34] *a task about having this built into MW or an extension [21:27:10] (The implementation doesn't have to actually happen.) [21:27:43] It might be simple enough to make NewUserMessage more generic [21:27:55] Yes, I'm filing the task against NewUserMessage. [21:27:57] But it likely won't be what OIT wants
