[05:38:38] <Nemo_bis>	 Not sure this is an improvement. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:CirrusSearch&diff=prev&oldid=1873937
[07:08:46] <AW-HK>	 Hi any GCI mentor here?
[08:45:44] <bawolff>	 Is the results of ResourceLoaderGetConfigVars cached somehow. I have an extension that adds a variable to resource loader. It works fine for me, but there's someone using the extension, where the variable isn't added, and I am at a loss for why
[08:45:49] <bawolff>	 ?
[09:08:24] <bawolff>	 hmm, possibly because I missed the & in the function signature
[09:08:31] <bawolff>	 but I have no idea why it would work for me
[09:08:45] <bawolff>	 maybe subtle differences in how php does pass by reference between versions
[10:33:20] <Niharika>	 Hey, is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page loading very slowly for anyone else? 
[10:34:26] <bawolff>	 fine for me
[10:35:24] <Niharika>	 I've had a few other people complain the same. Hmm. 
[10:36:31] <Niharika>	 Not just en, meta too. Possibly others too. 
[10:36:34] <Niharika>	 Weird. 
[10:37:56] <bawolff>	 These sorts of things can sometimes vary depending on geographic location
[10:46:48] <p858snake|_>	 #wikimedia-tech would probably e a better channel for this
[10:46:53] <p858snake|_>	 or #wikimedia-operations
[17:23:09] <Nemo_bis>	 What does it mean when, in mediawiki vagrant, a php file I added in settings.d/ doesn't have effect and instead is printed on top of the page (without an error message)? :(
[17:23:31] <MatmaRex>	 Nemo_bis: you forgot to being it with <?php
[17:23:35] <MatmaRex>	 begin it*
[17:24:24] <JustBerry>	 Anyone have any idea if there already exists or a bot can be made where the bot archives sections of a talk page based on whether or not it has a {{done}} template or something of the kind instead of a time-based archiving bot?
[17:29:21] <Nemo_bis>	 Oh indeed. ^^ Thanks.
[17:31:12] <JustBerry>	 Nemo_bis: ^^ MatmaRex  ^^
[17:31:34] <MatmaRex>	 JustBerry: no doubt it can be made.
[17:32:01] <JustBerry>	 MatmaRex: any advice?
[17:32:06] <JustBerry>	 MatmaRex: where to start
[17:32:19] <JustBerry>	 MatmaRex: How exactly would you go about doing something like that, I know some python, Java, etc.
[17:32:59] <MatmaRex>	 hmm
[17:33:01] <MatmaRex>	 !pywikibot
[17:33:01] <wm-bot>	 pywikibot is a bot framework written in Python that allows for easier automated actions on a wiki. For more information, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot>. For alternatives, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code>. We're in #pywikibot if you want to chat :)
[17:33:25] <MatmaRex>	 that should be a good start? there are probably libraries in other languages
[17:33:27] <MatmaRex>	 !api
[17:33:27] <wm-bot>	 The MediaWiki API provides direct, high-level access to the data contained in the MediaWiki databases. Client programs should be able to use the API to login, get data, and post changes. Find out more at < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API >. For client libraries in various languages, see < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_Code >.
[17:35:43] <JustBerry>	 MatmaRex: I'll have to do it when I get a chance. Do you know of any page/users which might help me communicate this idea to some devs waiting for something to work on?
[17:36:35] <MatmaRex>	 not really
[17:39:26] <JustBerry>	 MatmaRex: Easy to make?
[17:42:33] <MatmaRex>	 JustBerry: not exactly easy, but probably easier than time-based archiving. finding headings and {{done}} under them should be easy enough, but beware badly structured talk pages.
[17:54:48] <GEOFBOT>	 JustBerry: I think there is a bot that archives {{done}} on WP:GL/I
[17:55:31] <GEOFBOT>	 or maybe not, it's been three years since I worked in there
[17:56:39] <JustBerry>	 GEOFBOT: kek
[17:56:43] <JustBerry>	 MatmaRex: k ty
[20:41:49] <ScarredSun>	 I'm trying to install another instance of Mediawiki on my server and keep getting errors: http://pastebin.com/EywUM8fd
[20:56:18] <legoktm>	 ScarredSun: what do you have in your local settings.php?
[20:57:31] <legoktm>	 ScarredSun: oh hmm, your extensions are in a separate directory? you need to set https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExtensionDirectory
[21:14:15] <Nemo_bis>	 Earlier I was wondering: is there no way to keep two different directories for extensions?
[21:18:41] <saper>	 Nemo_bis: why not? I think you need to fiddle a bit with assets paths if any
[21:34:24] <legoktm>	 Nemo_bis: not really unless you create symlinks. You can only set one value for $wgExtensionAssetPath (and now $wgExtensionDirectory) so :/
[21:35:20] <legoktm>	 we discussed the one directory requirement at some point during the extension registration discussions, I forget when/where that was though
[21:51:27] <ScarredSun>	 legotkm: That's the thing--I have no LocalSettings.php in that directory
[21:53:08] <Nemo_bis>	 legoktm: yes, that's what I understood. So far no problem.
