[00:55:59] HELP!!! [00:57:37] I am user 'Please New Wiki', please read: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk [00:58:00] help [00:59:11] at the time the MediaWiki asks password, user and database, does not advance [01:00:30] because I can not? [01:06:42] , [01:45:38] hello [01:46:09] hello [01:58:33] Hi. [03:35:32] Can user pages be exported & imported? [04:10:00] Hi DrRush. [04:10:10] Yes, Special:Export and Special:Import should be sufficient. [04:11:57] okay thanks [04:33:41] can an extension have two parser functions? [11:37:26] anybody home? I got a question about stopping the rebuilding of the localisation cache [11:37:51] my question: 'how do ya do it' [11:51:56] Why would you want to? [11:55:46] DrRush: I'm not sure it's even the problem. There's a problem with our database getting pounded with update queries by ...resourceloader, i guess. [11:56:24] 'REPLACE /* MessageBlobStore::updateModule...blah blah blah;' [11:56:57] dozens of those until the database's concurrent connections limit is reached [12:10:08] Hi, I'm trying to recover an old wiki from the SQL file and I didn't find answers to my problem in the FAQ. What I want to do is to simply extract the articles from the SQL file, I've looked through the SQL file and the articles are there but not eligible due to various hexadecimal characters in the middle of a word (looks like special characters). Is there any good way to extract the articles without having to go through settin [12:29:52] JonBriem: does it look like unicode ӏ ? [12:31:11] no idea [12:31:27] how do they look like? [12:31:46] but I would just try to install some older mediawiki and see how it works [12:31:54] u8c3beu8c3a6r voru u8c3bevu8c3ad nokkuu8c3b0 u8c3beykkar ogu800 stu8c3adfar [12:33:17] but then it has to be the right mediawiki version right? [12:33:33] I tried installing the newest one and it didn't work [12:37:31] which language is the wiki in? [12:37:50] it might be you have lost backslashes or something in the dump [12:39:06] which database was used? [12:43:44] it's in icelandic and myphpadmin was used [12:44:19] or rather phpmyadmin, always mix up that name :P [12:45:25] yep [12:46:57] combined with a wrong encoding in the databse [12:47:03] it should be recoverable though [12:48:26] so just try setting up an older version of a wiki and see if it works? [12:52:23] JonBriem: getting database settings/encoding may be more tricky [12:54:28] I have the old wiki folder as well [12:56:31] I suppose the settings are in there somewhere [13:13:09] hey what do i need to "change" so my pictures (logo) and page-style? will be shown on a private mediawiki server? [14:22:22] somone familar with lua parsing? [14:24:18] probably at least a few people. although the US is just waking up. [15:39:07] desperation https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual_talk:Installing_MediaWiki_on_XAMPP&diff=0&oldid=621621 [15:39:08] I believe they were in here yesterday. [15:39:08] Could someone please review https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/243719/ [15:39:11] paladox: unlikely as not many people will spend the time to first click your link and find out that it's a code area they have no idea about. As you did not provide any context what your link is about. [15:39:12] (I think I explained this before :) [15:39:12] Woops sorry i forgot. It is about splitting two modules out but keeping the one that we are splitting. [15:39:46] without knowing which codebase I still don't know if I have the skills to review that or not. And hence whether to click it or not. [15:40:15] paladox, well, you can try to imagine to be the reader of your message. And your reader's time might be limited. :) [15:41:16] Since we already have on the modules on its own and so we create two modules off there own like one of them already. It will also fix the BlueSky skin problam where it carn't have all the three modules loaded since it will cause the skin to look differently then intended. So splitting it out fixes the problem. But the keep the three modules under the one module so skins that require the three module doint need to change anything and wont [15:41:16] affect them.7 [15:41:25] Ignore the 7. [15:42:53] paladox, no need to copy and paste stuff here [15:43:09] I am not copying a pasting. [15:43:10] as I asked which codebase it is about [15:43:21] It is to do with mediawiki/core. [15:43:36] And fixes a problem in the BlueSky repo. [15:43:37] Ah. And that answers my question. [15:43:39] mediawiki/core [15:43:40] thanks. [15:43:44] Ok. [15:43:45] that's all I wanted to know. [15:43:52] and any reader of your message probably too. [16:28:19] Hello, im having an issue where my Wiki Markup is showing in RSS Feeds [16:28:51] If i got to Special:New Pages and choose Atom under Toolbox and subscribe to the feed my RSS Reader (Outlook) displays wiki markup in content [16:29:37] i.e. in the page if i have == title == it shows that inside the rss feed [16:29:55] anyway to clean it up or enable wiki markup in the rss feed [16:40:12] HELP!!!!!! [16:46:59] hello [18:19:00] hello [18:19:48] help!! read : https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Srlimtvuqm4e4tk6&topic_showPostId=srn0ftkbc46ozk4o&fromnotif=1#flow-post-srn0ftkbc46ozk4o [18:19:55] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Srlimtvuqm4e4tk6&topic_showPostId=srn0ftkbc46ozk4o&fromnotif=1#flow-post-srn0ftkbc46ozk4o [18:20:22] help [18:21:22] help! read: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Srlimtvuqm4e4tk6&topic_showPostId=srn0ftkbc46ozk4o&fromnotif=1#flow-post-srn0ftkbc46ozk4o [18:21:57] help [18:23:09] newwiki: Hi. If you have a question, please ask your question. [18:23:40] I might not spend the time to click a link first in order to find out whether I can help with your topic or if I cannot help :) [18:25:00] ok, what am i doing wrong… inside LocalSettings.php i set error_reporting(-1) and ini_set('display_errors', 1) yet i still only get "Fatal exception of type MWException" on the screen when doing a search [18:25:15] andre__: it's a phpmyadmin problem, apparently [18:25:37] jspin, is $wgShowExceptionDetails enabled? [18:25:43] jspin, that would give you a stacktrace [18:27:35] thx, that did give a stacktrace [18:28:28] basically: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_debug [18:28:46] yep, i was there [18:29:10] that's how i set the 1st 2 settings i mentioned [18:32:06] help!!! read: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Srlimtvuqm4e4tk6&topic_showPostId=srn0ftkbc46ozk4o&fromnotif=1#flow-post-srn0ftkbc46ozk4o [18:32:32] help! read : https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Srlimtvuqm4e4tk6&topic_showPostId=srn0ftkbc46ozk4o&fromnotif=1#flow-post-srn0ftkbc46ozk4o [18:36:29] I do not know if you're here, but I will not spend my time rewriting it again, still write in a language I do not know. [18:40:28] andre__: so now that i have a backtrace, the error is that SpecialSearch::getPageTitle isn't defined when doing a search from the home page. I just upgraded to 1.25.3 so it seems strange anything would be missing [18:40:42] or at least anything as basic as search [20:23:48] andre__: I should've known… the problem was related to 1 of the extensions from the original LocalSettings file used with our OLD version of mw [20:24:02] thx for the debug suggestions tho [20:25:14] i'm now starting with a fresh LocalSettings and adding the old list of extensions 1 at a time to see what breaks [20:26:27] have you upgraded extensions? that should be the first thing to do after an upgrade [20:27:01] yeah, i spent half a day doing that [20:27:18] and some of them don't play nice together apparently [20:27:23] #/join wikimedia [20:27:28] lol [20:31:06] andre__: I've reported this some hours ago and apparently it's a regression on the last update on mediawiki.org, that doesn't seem to happen on enwiki or other wikis https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116899 [20:31:39] nobody has triaged it, maybe it's worth a look before it hits wikipedia? [20:37:51] uhh [20:37:54] addshore: is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116899 you? [20:38:49] Vulpix: I'm looking... [20:38:55] thanks [20:39:24] Hmm, confirming https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116899 - thanks for the heads up [20:40:00] yay! [20:40:17] andre__: was your priority change an edit conflict? [20:40:35] most likely [20:41:01] legoktm, likely [20:41:07] no conflict detection on phabricator :( [20:41:22] legoktm, yes it was. please correct me [20:43:59] MediaWiki installed on my computer, came a file called LocalSettings, LocalSettings put in the folder Index.php [20:44:53] Now I do what? [20:45:27] newwiki: are you following https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki ? [20:46:51] found it [20:46:55] i installed MediaWiki with Xampp [20:48:53] Vulpix, I've seen name Vulpix somewhere [20:50:49] probably [20:51:48] I now I do what? [20:52:14] MediaWiki installed on my computer, I now I do what? [20:52:26] does it work? [20:52:27] MediaWiki installed on my computer, I now I do what? [20:53:13] in http://localhost/wiki/mw-config/index.php [20:53:56] says installation complete [20:54:29] so you downloaded LocalSettings.php and placed it inside the folder where there's index.php, RELEASE-NOTES, etc? [20:55:06] yes [20:55:26] it should be done now, then [20:58:07] open one link in localhost? [20:59:00] the page that says "installation complete" gives further instructions, just follow them [21:00:26] I saw a link to click [21:00:54] I'll try [21:01:09] Filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116971 while at it. Vulpix, do you see the same? [21:02:08] like 5 or 6 seconds for me, maybe it depends on the number of watchlisted pages? [21:02:59] 1204 watched pages [21:03:15] It is written: LocalSettings.php not found. Please set-up the wiki first. [21:03:19] :( [21:04:47] Nemo_bis: 14 seconds if I select "30 days" [21:05:17] seems pretty slow, yes [21:05:19] but I put LocalSettings of side Index.php [21:05:49] newwiki: it should be on the same folder as RELEASE-NOTES. Be sure it's not inside mw-config folder [21:06:03] newwiki: what is the exact name of the folder? what is the exact name of the file? [21:07:28] C:\xampp\htdocs\LocalSettings.php [21:08:08] newwiki: it seems your wiki is in C:\xampp\htdocs\wiki\ [21:08:27] yes [21:08:44] newwiki, dod you read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki_on_XAMPP#Setting_up_Mediawiki ? [21:09:07] The first sentence there might be helpful [21:10:12] I read, but it's so much that I've forgotten what I read [21:10:20] Feel free to read it again :) [21:12:25] Vulpix, Nemo_bis: diff/hist links should be back now [21:13:25] thanks, that was fast! [21:13:34] legoktm, thanks! [21:13:37] from what I understand, the LocalSettings should be in the folder of my wik [21:13:55] newwiki: exactly. Now are they? [21:14:52] thank you. I'll try [21:20:47] I entered the wiki, and I connected [21:32:57] There is some free place I can host my wiki? [21:33:54] newwiki: see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services [21:35:18] thank you [21:38:54] as I upload my wiki? [21:40:01] would have to upload the Xampp folder? [21:41:14] that is, the entire folder Xampp? [21:41:44] newwiki: you'll have to ask the support team of those hosts [21:42:42] thank you [22:12:28] parent5446: Once you join irc, not allowed to leave ;) [22:12:56] Lol, I think I was offline for like a week max. :P What is my punishment? [22:13:42] a week! that's like a decade in internet years
