[07:33:10] <Nessa05>	 hi every i would like to participate in outreach 2015 winter 
[07:33:32] <Nessa05>	 could anyone point me where should i start ?
[07:34:50] <polybuildr>	 Nessa05: Take a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker and also get on #wikimedia-dev, not just this channel.
[07:36:09] <Nessa05>	 okay polybuildr Thank you i am going through the link :)
[09:25:16] <BradLee_>	 Hi, I need to make a small tweak to a php file, but I am not sure how to do what I require?
[09:25:18] <BradLee_>	 The line of code sets it to exclude ALL pages within the "Special" namespace
[09:25:19] <BradLee_>	 However I would like to exclude all pages in the "Special" namespace EXCEPT "Special:WikiForum"
[09:25:21] <BradLee_>	 I have found the relevant line, but I am not sure what I need to replace it with?
[09:25:22] <BradLee_>	 		&& strpos( $parser->getTitle()->getPrefixedText(), 'Special:' ) === false
[09:25:24] <BradLee_>	 		&& $parser->getTitle()->getNamespace() !== 8
[09:25:25] <BradLee_>	 Can someone please help me?
[09:25:27] <BradLee_>	 Thanks.
[09:32:48] <arianit>	 hi , how do I download sq.wikipedia for offline use. this one doesn't seem to be available from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/ 
[09:58:28] <Nemo_bis>	 (Already replied on #wikimedia-tech.)
[12:48:02] <BradLee_>	 I'm trying to get an extension to work with a specific page, but in an excluded namespace 
[12:48:03] <BradLee_>	 I have found the relevant line in the php file, but I am not sure what I need to replace it with?
[12:48:05] <BradLee_>	 			&& strpos( $parser->getTitle()->getPrefixedText(), 'Special:' ) === false
[12:48:06] <BradLee_>	 So I would like to exclude all pages in the "Special" namespace EXCEPT "Special:WikiForum"
[12:48:08] <BradLee_>	 What do I need to change this with, please?
[12:49:42] <Vulpix>	 Well, I think this would work only on English wikis. That's not the smartest way to check if it's a special page
[12:49:48] <Vulpix>	 !class Title
[12:49:48] <wm-bot>	 See https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/html/classTitle.html
[12:50:56] <Vulpix>	 $parser->getTitle()->getNamespace() !== NS_SPECIAL would be better and will work for all languages
[12:52:28] <Vulpix>	 $parser->getTitle()->isSpecialPage() even
[12:56:35] <BradLee_>	 It's not my code/extension, and tbh I don't really understand php.
[12:56:37] <BradLee_>	 I just figured out that I need to disable it for a specific set of pages so that it parses what it needs to. :/ 
[12:57:06] <Vulpix>	 BradLee_: for your question, I think it should be: && ( !$parser->getTitle()->isSpecialPage() || $parser->getTitle()->isSpecial( 'WikiForum' ) )
[12:57:33] <Vulpix>	 I'm not sure if you should pass WikiForum, wikiforum or Wikiforum to the isSpecial() function, though
[12:58:00] <Vulpix>	 that would be true for non-special pages, and Special:WikiForum
[12:59:20] <BradLee_>	 Ok thanks. I will try that. :)
[13:08:50] <BradLee_>	 @Vulpix: it's not working. :/
[13:08:52] <BradLee_>	 Do you want to see the full php, so you can see it's context?
[13:08:54] <BradLee_>	 It's posted publicly here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Emoticons
[13:10:41] <Vulpix>	 it uses "strpos( $parser->getTitle()->getPrefixedText(), 'Special:' )" AND "$parser->getTitle()->getNamespace() !== 8" on the same condition...
[13:10:46] * Vulpix cries
[13:12:04] <Vulpix>	 also... global $action; WTF
[13:13:15] <BradLee_>	 not *my* code 
[13:13:41] <BradLee_>	 bad is it?
[13:17:19] <Vulpix>	 bad code, if it at least works...
[13:19:31] <BradLee_>	 Oh, it works
[13:19:33] <BradLee_>	 I just need it to work in the excluded namespace
[13:19:34] <BradLee_>	 And if I comment the line out, then it works in Special:WikiForum
[13:19:36] <BradLee_>	 But can potentially break other special pages
[13:19:37] <BradLee_>	 Hence why I guess it was excluded in the first place?
[13:21:55] <BradLee_>	 I would've shoved it under the nose of one of my coders to fix for me, but unfortunately they are all booked up :/
[13:29:47] <BradLee_>	 @Vulpix: Nevermind if it is not a quick fix though. I don't want to put you out.
[13:31:23] <Vulpix>	 BradLee_: so it didn't work? weird
[13:37:14] <BradLee_>	 actually i take that back
[13:37:15] <BradLee_>	 i think it *is* working
[13:37:17] <BradLee_>	 i just needed to clear the browser cache
[13:38:40] <Vulpix>	 ah, good
[13:39:32] <BradLee_>	 thanks :)
[13:39:53] <Vulpix>	 I think the isSpecial arg should be 'Wikiforum', not WikiForum, at least when I've tested it with another special page
[13:42:21] <BradLee_>	 WikiForum seems to be working for me.
[13:43:31] <Vulpix>	 ok, eave that as it is, then
[13:43:35] <Vulpix>	 *leave
[13:44:16] <BradLee_>	 Yeah, will do.
[13:52:12] <BradLee_>	 @Vulpix: Thanks again. I really appreciate it. ;)
[13:52:21] <Vulpix>	 yw :)
