I am behind a proxy. Can someone suggest what to do. [09:55:05] Hello! [12:15:23] Hello [12:15:42] I was wondering if the maintenance script changePassword.php [12:16:23] is still relevant after 1.24 changes about "keeping" the passwords ? [12:20:14] inodb, 'keeping' the passwords? [12:29:16] Krenair, i mean keeping the hashes on user_password, on table user [12:29:39] i refer to : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_table [12:29:42] I know user passwords are stored at user.user_password [12:29:51] What change are you referring to? [12:30:14] Since MediaWiki 1.24, $wgPasswordDefault defaults to pbkdf2 and so on [12:30:38] okay... so what? [12:31:33] i have an error on using changePassword maintenance script [12:32:02] [7f2967da] [no req] PasswordError from line 2387 of /var/www/sandbox/includes/User.php: [12:32:36] and a message (localized) that says "you can't change passwords on this wiki" [12:35:23] can you give me the exact text of the error? [12:35:33] nvm, found it [12:36:14] That's this: [12:36:15] if ( !$wgAuth->allowPasswordChange() ) { [12:36:15] throw new PasswordError( wfMessage( 'password-change-forbidden' )->text() ); [12:36:35] are you using some special auth system? maybe some sort of extension? [12:37:31] aouch ! i certainly forget to get rid of it on LocalSettings :( [12:39:44] yep Krenair that was it ! sry for bothering ;) [12:54:58] join #apache-directory-dev [13:55:07] where does enwiki blank wpReason when deleting ? I cant find the related code [14:01:15] is there anything like {{PAGESINCATEGORY:categoryname|pages}} that also includes the number of articles in the subcategories? [14:01:36] guest35789: No, that would break stuff [14:02:04] Category recursion is very common [14:02:35] ok, thanks [15:26:09] I am getting this error message when I am trying to submit a patch on gerrit "ERROR: missing Change-Id in commit message footer". I tried using gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir); scp -p -P 29418 username@gerrit.wikimedia.org:hooks/commit-msg ${gitdir}/hooks/ but I am getting the error "ssh: Could not resolve hostname gerrit.wikimedia.org: Name or s [15:26:09] ervice not known".

[19:15:15] anmolkalia: https://people.wikimedia.org/~dzahn/commit-msg [19:15:25] put that into ./hooks/ manually [19:15:35] anmolkalia: oh, even better, you can download it here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/tools/hooks/commit-msg [19:15:55] ah:) [19:36:40] MatmaRex: Thanks a lot :) [19:47:10] I was wondering, is there anyway to disable the help indicators? [19:49:10] hello, i was working up on the wikipedia API for a application that is suppose i am on page "heroku" i want to get popularity of each link in that page. [19:49:21] by popularity i mean how many times it gives a link back to the orignal page "heroku" [20:00:11] hello, i was working up on the wikipedia API for a application, suppose i am on page "heroku" i want to get popularity of each link in that page. By popularity i mean how many times the link on the page gives a link back to the orignal page "heroku" [20:00:39] count so-called backlinks? [20:01:17] yup but not which are mutually related [20:01:29] rits: probably you need to start with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Backlinks [20:02:04] not sure what do you mean by mutually related -> A linking to B and B linking to A ? [20:02:37] saper: backlinks give all the mutually related links as well those one's also which dont have heroku but are linked on some other x page [20:03:01] I don't follow, sorry [20:03:59] yeah exactly and i have to count them actually but backlinks give a->b->c result [20:04:06] saper: ^ [20:04:51] as far as I know, no [20:05:00] only with redirects (which you can turn off) [20:06:48] rits: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=Heroku&generator=links&pltitles=Heroku [20:07:08] get only those that have links.length > 0 [20:07:36] saper: no i had tried through no redirect but those count the links only one time, i want to know the actual count [20:08:03] as on amazon web service how many times the heroku link comes [20:09:38] Vulpix: can i count the links through links.length [20:09:56] With mediawiki 1.25, do I need an extension to enforce password length and complexity? If so, can anyone recommend a decent one? [20:10:48] rits: no, it gives the number of distinct links. If a link to the same page exists more than one time, it won't return how many times is linked [20:11:23] Anyone know if there is anywhere to get the documentation for a particular vesion of Mediawiki? https://doc.wikimedia.org/ just seems to show it for master? [20:11:24] Vulpix: is there any way to do this through api [20:11:31] !lmgtfy extension password complexity site:mediawiki.org | ImADog [20:11:31] ImADog: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=extension+password+complexity+site%3amediawiki.org+ [20:11:51] do you feel like having good luck? :P [20:12:40] rits: no, because the api doesn't parse the page to get that. It uses the pagelinks table to retrieve them, which stores only one unique reference [20:12:53] !lmddgtfy [20:14:39] Vulpix: saper okey thanks for the help :) [20:15:01] !lmddgtfy is http://lmgtfy.com/?q=$url_encoded_* [20:15:02] Key was added [20:15:15] !lmddgtfy extension password complexity site:mediawiki.org [20:15:15] http://lmgtfy.com/?q=extension+password+complexity+site%3amediawiki.org [20:15:30] oops, no [20:15:55] !lmddgtfy is https://lmddgtfy.net/?q=$url_encoded_* [20:15:55] This key already exist - remove it, if you want to change it [20:16:08] remove !lmddgtfy [20:16:17] !del lmddgtfy [20:16:17] Deleting users is very messy and not recommended, because this breaks referential integrity in the database (they appear in many different tables like users, edit histories, recentchanges, preferences, etc). A safe solution is to block the users, and possibly rename them with . You can also try [20:16:34] haha [20:17:00] Inever remember how to delete them [20:17:27] rits: many edit strive to link an article only once or once per section, so a non-unique method wouldn't return any more meaningful results afair [20:17:30] !rm [20:17:30] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !abusefilter, !access, !adminsettings, !autoconfirmed, !autoload, !backup, !blank, !bulkpagecreator, !cache, !captcha, !centralauth, !charinsert, !checkuser, !cia, !composer, !copyinghelp, !credit, !css, !csv2wp, !debug, !dismissablesitenotice, !dpl, !dump, !email, !emailconfirmed, !evilglobals, !export, !farm, !filepermissions, !fileurl, !flaggedrevs, !footer, !gadget, !gadgets, !gnu, !hooks, !hosting, !htmlform, !iframe, !imagelink, !imagemap, !import, !importsources, !langlinks, !lockdown, !lts, !lua, !magicwords, !mailarchive, !memoserv, !multiplecommits, !mwhelp, !newusergroup, !openbasedir, !oversight, !package, !packages, !parserconf, !pastelocalsettings, !patch, !performance, !phpinfo, !poem, !ppp, !preventaccess, !profiling, !pywikibot, !pywikipediabot, !recaptcha, !refresh, !resetpassword, !revdelete, !rights, !roadmap, !rollback, !safemode, !scap, !secrets, !session, !smtp, !spam, !specialpages, !speed, !stringfunctions, !svg, !syntax, !templates, !testswarm, !thumb, !transclusion, !ts, !undo, !unicode_test, !userapproval, !webrequest, !wikilove, !wikipedia, !wysiwyg, [20:17:39] !lmddgtfy del [20:17:40] Successfully removed lmddgtfy [20:17:46] !lmddgtfy is https://lmddgtfy.net/?q=$url_encoded_* [20:17:46] Key was added [20:17:58] !cia [20:17:58] The retired bot CIA-# used to announce changes in the MediaWiki subversion repository.

Has anyone set this up recently? [20:19:39] an extension asking to modify MediaWiki files... hmmm.... [20:19:46] !e EnforceStrongPassword [20:19:46] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EnforceStrongPassword [20:20:32] outdated info is outdated [20:22:05] saper: yes but actually for knowing its popularity on its internal links i wanted its count, if any way possible [20:22:09] ImADog: revert your edit to User.php, the hook is already there in modern versions of MediaWiki [20:23:04] Ok I'll give it a shot [20:26:12] that extension is even bad for that... it forces it to be numbers & digits only and a maximum lenght. really? [20:50:05] legoktm: you around? [20:50:15] Betacommand: yup [20:50:52] legoktm: can you make the background of the new notifications match the skin background? [20:51:25] right now its an odd grey block at the top of my screen [20:52:03] you mean remove the background styling? [20:52:20] yeah [20:52:36] unless it has a message [20:52:45] that was there previously.... [20:52:59] what skin btw? we know that it looks super ugly in Modern [20:53:07] Monobook [20:53:38] its not super ugly, just a sore thumb [20:54:55] Not having a background I think would make the message blend a lot better [20:55:31] legoktm: sorry for being a nag, but I dont like radical changes :) [20:58:45] Betacommand: I'm being distracted by trying to deploy something. Wasn't the background shadow already there though? [21:08:50] Betacommand: if you feel strongly about it, please file a bug because I'll forget otherwise :/ [21:12:40] After enabling Extension:EnforceStrongPassword, I get an Exception encountered, of type "InvalidArgumentException" when I try to log in. Does mediawiki log errors like this for me to look at? [21:15:32] ImADog: you can configure an error log in php.ini, or in LocalSettings.php directly. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3531703/how-to-log-errors-and-warnings-into-a-file [21:16:35] there's also https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug#Creating_custom_log_groups [21:17:23] I don't know if handled exceptions like this go to php error_log or are logged only on mediawiki's log [21:18:34] Thank you , Vulpix
