[00:15:57] Anyone there? [00:18:00] How do I stop infoboxes mediawiki from going beyond the content area? [01:19:05] Hi Cytherea. [01:19:14] Probably CSS? [01:19:20] Do you have a link to what you're talking about? [01:19:22] What do I need to do to fix that? [01:19:24] Yes, I do. [01:19:32] http://wiki.taskforce39.com/index.php?title=Type_9_Shuttlecraft [01:19:44] Oh, I see. [01:19:51] mmm [01:19:52] You could write more content. ;-) [01:20:00] Eh. lol [01:20:17] I'd rather get this fixed. lol [01:20:58] So you're not using an infobox there, exactly. [01:21:01] You're using class="wikitable". [01:21:08] yeah. Ah [01:21:21] Mm, it should be infobox... [01:22:14] editing it doesn't fix much (I'm inspecting the element) [01:24:13] But, regardless, Katie, the wikitable shouldn't go outside the content are either. :-/ [01:24:37] .catlinks { clear: both; } [01:24:45] Would work on pages that have categories. [01:25:04] This is a custom skin? [01:25:06] Well, all these templates have categories built in. [01:25:08] You probably want a visual clear. [01:25:08] Yeah. [01:25:19] Like
or somethign. [01:25:28] Right above . [01:25:38] That does style="clear:both;" or equivalent. [01:25:55] couldn't I just do
? lol [01:26:10] Yeah. [01:26:16] But catlinks might be a better option. [01:26:38] The visualClear still causes the category box to hit the wikitable. [01:26:39] Mmm. [01:26:43] You could do both, I guess. [01:27:36] Thanks for your help! :) [01:27:40] Worked perfectly. [01:27:55] No problem. [02:55:23] i'm trying to use mw.config.get as part of my skin template, and it's saying mw is not defined [02:59:23] this is on 1.26 [02:59:45] UserProd: looks like this bug might apply to your situation – https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T68147 [03:00:06] thnx mww113 [03:00:17] looks like it was patched with this change: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/138999/ [03:00:21] You're welcome [03:00:35] hmm [03:00:40] that's specific to an extension though? [03:00:50] ah is it? [03:01:09] it looked like the error was coming up when he tried to use that call in a non-standard namespace [03:01:12] lemme check if it's my skin not loading a dependency [03:01:21] if you were using it in a template, that made me think it would apply [03:01:34] then again, that patch should be included in 1.26 anyway [03:02:04] i'm using it on my SkinTemplate.php file (copied partially from vector) [03:02:19] i'm using: mw.config.get( 'wgIsMainPage' ) [03:02:32] and my firebug console is saying: ReferenceError: mw is not defined [03:02:53] i tried my old version of the skin (that currently works in 1.25) and it's an error (on 1.26) [03:03:15] hmmm [03:03:21] that is quite strange indeed [03:03:56] my only guess is that it's related to when the mw.config is being loaded [03:04:57] that's possible [03:05:03] though if it worked before in 1.25 [03:05:14] I tend to think it could be a bug in 1.26 [03:05:39] did you checkout from git or did you install a nightly or something? [03:07:01] checkout REL1_26 [03:08:02] * UserProd checks one more thing to make sure it isn't me [03:09:12] and you updated and made sure you installed all the dependencies with composer? [03:10:16] i used the vendor repository [03:11:51] it's publicly visible, can i send you the link? [03:12:18] sure. not sure how much I can actually do for you thi [03:12:20] tho [03:12:44] thanks either way :) [03:13:01] you could try going to wmf/1.26wmf24 instead of REL_1.26 [03:13:16] then you would know if it was a recent change that broke something or not [03:13:28] those have too much other junk in them (like extensions and stuff) [03:27:58] I stuffed it in that same RLQ thing and now no error :) [03:28:05] i wonder if it's even running :P [10:47:02] i want to put a code in a website that allows me to post in a mediawiki site, do you know how i can do? [10:53:11] !syntaxhighlight [10:53:11] there are several extensions for syntax highlighting, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Syntax_highlighting - the most popular one is at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi [11:35:23] Reedy: was for me? [11:58:03] vev_, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page ? [11:58:18] merci andre__ [11:58:49] was api for sure.. [15:09:16] Hi, I would like some tech help please, is anyone on? [15:09:33] the sitenotice is malfunctioning [15:09:53] Which site notice? How's it malfunctioning [15:10:22] on nl.wikipedia.org the sitenotice does not work for some reason. I do not see it in chrome (logged in and logged out), I do not see it in explorer logged out, but I do see it in explorer logged in [15:11:41] it is supposed to be visible to everyone in all situations [15:17:51] Note that ^ was discussed in #wikimedia and I too notice the issue on mobile safari MW:Sitenotice is set and id incremented but it doesn't display [15:36:38] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114652 [16:42:33] hi, Can I create a check-list with mediawiki ? [16:43:56] hello [16:44:02] I need some help lz [16:46:44] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7775423/how-to-make-checklist-items-on-mediawiki ? [16:47:04] idk. I don't think you can have anything you just "click" to check off (lit github issues for instance) [16:47:19] you could just make a wiki page with a bulleted list or indented things, and edit the page to change the icon/symbol before it [16:47:25] Helmoony ^ [16:48:13] PuppyKun, yes [16:49:43] PuppyKun, it's better than nothing. I have to implement a check-list for featured articles candidates [16:50:29] :p there should probably be a way to log who checks what items anyways [16:50:52] personally on my wiki i use a bulleted list with a sort of "{{Done}} / {{Not Done}}" template at the start [16:53:41] PuppyKun, can you give me a link ? [16:54:53] :p I'm actually in the process of recreating my wiki. If you like the green check / red x I'm pretty sure a lot of wikis have {{Done}}/{{Not done}} templates. [16:57:28] yes I know. I'm gonna take a look at other possibilities to make it more simple. Thanks [16:58:44] np gl [17:40:07] Hrm, a couple days ago I cleaned out my wikis /tmp/ directory [17:40:26] Now none of my thumbnails are working, its just showing "Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination" [17:40:44] I've not touched the thumbs directory though so Im unsure why this is happening [17:41:06] actually I guess I should check the tmp' directories permissions as i guess its saving there as an intermediatory [17:50:44] Yep, fixed! Rubber duck debugging ftw. Just had to set the correct permissions and everything works [21:17:23] hello i enabled VisualEditor on a almost new install of wikimedia, i see in the version page that it shows that visual editor is "running" but when i try to edit some page i dont see anything different, i get the same simple editr, any ideas? [21:22:02] autofsckk: What browser are you using? Do you have two edit tabs? If only one, is it labelled "Edit" or "Edit source"?

[21:35:56] im trying to use EmbedVideo and im getting this error ----> Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /public_html/wiki/extensions/EmbedVideo/EmbedVideo.i18n.magic.php on line 12 im using 1.25 mediawiki version [21:36:41] autofsckk, what's on line 12 [21:37:02] $magicWords = []; [21:37:09] ffs [21:37:12] short array syntax [21:37:14] sounds like you're using an old version of php [21:37:34] Well, the extension has a higher php version requirement than MW itself [21:38:02] autofsckk, just change "[]" to array(); and you'll be fine [21:38:06] so to be safe i think i should be running 1.24? [21:38:24] autofsckk: PHP 5.4 or higher. [21:38:33] it's nothing to do with the mediawiki version [21:38:51] autofsckk: Alternatively, download the compat branch. https://github.com/Alexia/mediawiki-embedvideo/tree/compat [21:39:32] ok but what can i do if im running on a shared hosting that has an old php version? hostgator is running 5.4.43 on PHP [21:40:02] O_o PHP 5.4 should be fine. [21:41:06] autofsckk: Where is your wiki? [21:41:30] at hostgator trela [21:41:40] or you mean domain? [21:41:48] Yeah, domain. Where can I see it? :D [21:42:33] you cant, its a "private" ja http://wiki.aflanetmx.com im testing and learning [21:43:49] Ah. Browse to Special:Version and copy the full PHP version string under Installed Software to here. [21:44:57] 5.3.29 (cgi-fcgi) the compat branch you gave me seems to be ok now Trela, at least it gave me no errors on load [21:47:00] whats the best way to make mediawiki "easier" for the common user? maybe a wysiwyg editor? a category handler or something that could help normal users feel a little confident using a wiki? [21:47:28] Yeah, your site is running an old insecure version of PHP. I would recommend updating to PHP 5.4 at minimum if you can without compatibility issues. [21:47:58] autofsckk: WYSIWYG editor: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor [21:49:28] Trela: i aldready tried that, but i cant install anything on that server, i cant update php nor install a dependency of VisualEditor [21:50:29] i havent used wikis before, and i think they are really awesome, great way of collecting knowledge [21:50:49] thanks a lot for the people doing it [21:51:27] Trela: another good editor? [21:52:11] Not that I really know of other than the built in editors. If you are stuck with your current server configuration it will really limit your in what you can do. [21:54:30] Trela: i know, i used to have a linode vps but not anymore, i hope soon get a new one, i cant test meanwhile locally, i run linux and ngxinx+php-fpm [21:54:58] it seems that the video embed doesnt work, i get this error on trying to embed one video Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home4/ahernan/public_html/wiki/extensions/EmbedVideo/classes/VideoService.php on line 420 [22:01:29] autofsckk: Make sure to copy the entire compat download over the old EmbedVideo folder. [22:04:28] if i want to suggest a change to a hook, do I actually need the roll diff to gerrit myself? [22:04:50] to roll the * .. [22:05:02] Trela: i did it, download with wget, unzip, rename, didnt change anything from that folder [22:07:44] autofsckk: I just pushed up a new version with a few fixes. Hopefully that covers all the compatibility cases. [22:10:19] Trela: cool, thanks let me replace it :D [22:11:39] its working now, thanks Trela :D [22:11:46] Nice! [22:12:01] yes, i really appreciate your help :D [22:12:57] Of course. I always try to encourage people to upgrade their PHP versions for the best benefit, but I will not leave them without nothing if they can not. [22:15:20] i run PHP 5.6.14 (cli) (built: Oct 2 2015 07:15:51) locally, and on vps too, but for now i just have that hostgator account :/ [22:18:49] I use Dreamcompute for my VPS. $10 is cheap for being able to control the whole server stack. [22:43:24] has anyone been editing templates or translation on mediawiki.org ? The warning template on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Git2Pages is no longer displaying warning text, and I'm pretty sure it used to. [23:08:36] spagewmf: I guess it's somewhere down the template trail [23:12:47] spagewmf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anomie/previewtemplatelastmod is really helpful to figure out what has changed, I have it in my global.js
