[00:10:01] <Rakanaronn>	 Hi
[00:14:05] <ori>	 hi
[00:24:41] <darthbhyrava>	 Hello. I am trying to ssh the mediawiki core repo onto my system, but I am getting the error "ssh: connect to host gerrit.wikimedia.org port 29418: Network is unreachable" 
[00:25:12] <Reedy>	 Are you behind a proxy?
[00:25:18] <bawolff>	 probably means you're behind a firewall (or using internet from a library or school that blocks high ports)
[00:25:28] <Reedy>	 We seriously need to fix our documentation
[00:26:20] <darthbhyrava>	 Yes, I am behind a proxy which blocks ssh. I have installed corkscrew and made the edits to the /.ssh/config file, though. 
[00:27:57] <Krenair>	 darthbhyrava, just use https instead
[00:28:58] <darthbhyrava>	 Krenair,  https to clone the repo? 
[00:29:55] <Krenair>	 yes
[00:30:00] <Krenair>	 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git
[00:30:51] <darthbhyrava>	 But in the 'Download from Git' page, they have ssh under 'Download for Development'. I was assuming it made a difference? I have already git cloned using https.
[00:31:20] <Reedy>	 It's reccommended, but not compulsory
[00:32:41] <darthbhyrava>	 Ah, fine. Thank you. :)
[00:32:51] <Krenair>	 with SSH you can use keys to push
[00:33:01] <Krenair>	 well, you have to use keys
[00:33:08] <Krenair>	 with HTTPS you have to use passwords, which sucks
[00:34:05] <darthbhyrava>	 Krenair, well, I'll make do for now, and see if I can figure out why corkscrew isn't working, then. :P
[00:35:10] <darthbhyrava>	 Krenair, here's the /.ssh/config : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13108337/ 
[00:35:27] <Krenair>	 I don't think that's going to change anything
[00:35:30] <darthbhyrava>	 Could you kindly take a look at it and see if something's missing?
[00:35:49] <Krenair>	 oh, I see, ProxyCommand
[00:36:02] <Krenair>	 what is corkscrew?
[00:36:46] <darthbhyrava>	 http://agroman.net/corkscrew/ A tool for tunneling SSH through HTTP proxies.
[00:42:11] <Krenair>	 darthbhyrava, I assume that is your actual path to corkscrew, right?
[00:42:15] <Krenair>	  /home/user/bin/corkscrew ?
[00:42:29] <darthbhyrava>	 Yes.
[00:46:35] <darthbhyrava>	 Krenair, sorry. The path was just /bin/corkscrew. It worked. But I have a new error now: "Permission denied (publickey)"
[00:47:13] <Krenair>	 have you put your public key in your gerrit settings?
[00:48:08] <darthbhyrava>	 No. 
[00:48:40] <darthbhyrava>	 On it. :P
[00:58:07] <darthbhyrava>	 Krenair, successfully cloned using ssh. Thanks for your help!
[00:58:46] <Krenair>	 yw
[00:59:13] <Krenair>	 I'm on a network where I can SSH out, but pinging anything is obviously bad
[02:32:17] <k_sze_>	 I'm trying to put some JSON in a <code></code> section, but the first and last curly braces get rendered outside the main gray box.
[02:34:47] <k_sze_>	 How do I fix that?
[02:35:08] <k_sze_>	 I can't use <pre> and <nowiki> because I also want to bold certain lines in the JSON.
[02:36:49] <MatmaRex>	 k_sze_: <code> is for inline code snippets only, you can't wrap multiline content with it. mediawiki will render lines starting with a space as preformatted text, though, and that's the gray box you're seeing.
[02:37:08] <MatmaRex>	 k_sze_: remove the <code> tags and indent the whole thing by one space.
[02:41:07] <k_sze_>	 ah, I see. Thanks
[02:45:17] <p858snake>	 !syntaxgeshi | k_sze_ 
[04:46:31] <dino82>	 o/ hi all.  What is the simplest way I can pull a raw page from a mediawiki site that requires a login/password via bash/php/python whatever?
[04:46:50] <dino82>	 Just need a clean insert login/password/site and page name sort of script
[05:22:14] <angrytechpriest>	 Hi there, having a bit of a problem with the inputbox extension, I'm trying to get it to preload a template I've set up, but it doesn't seem to want to pull it. I'm using the preload= parameter: <inputbox>
[05:22:14] <angrytechpriest>	 type=create
[05:22:15] <angrytechpriest>	  preload=Character_Page
[05:22:15] <angrytechpriest>	 </inputbox> -- Am I mucking this up here somehow?
[05:37:26] <Wilson>	 Hi everyone!
[05:37:51] <Guest90905>	 I'm very interested in volunteering for Foundation, by any chance someone here can give me some advice? :D
[05:40:25] <Katie>	 Hi Guest90905.
[05:40:29] <Katie>	 !hacker
[05:40:29] <wm-bot>	 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker
[05:40:36] <Katie>	 You may be interested in that link.
[05:41:01] <Katie>	 It's really about figuring what you're interested in doing and then exploring that and surrounding opportunities.
[05:41:28] <Katie>	 Whether that's JavaScript, PHP, documentation, user support, editing articles, patrolling for vandalism, etc.
[05:48:00] <Guest90905>	 Thank you for your reply Katie! I'm not a very techy person at all so I probably wouldnt be able to offer any help in that area. 
[05:48:21] <Katie>	 You can fix small typos and other errors in wiki articles.
[05:48:25] <Katie>	 Or help out around the wikis.
[05:48:59] <Guest90905>	 Ahhh sounds great! Will you be able to point me to the right direction for that?
[05:49:31] <Guest90905>	 I must admit I'm struggling to navigate on the Foundation's volunteering metawiki
[05:49:33] <Katie>	 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
[05:51:02] <Guest90905>	 So do I just find random articles and edit them, haha :P
[05:52:42] <Guest90905>	 I was looking for something more formal/systematic :3
[06:15:10] <david____>	 hi, I setup mediawiki ad my environment is varnish:80+nginx:8001, I tried to enable the SEO url of mediawiki but it will display http://mysite:80001/wiki/pagename, does anyone know how to fix it?
[06:15:12] <david____>	 thank you
[06:29:32] <ori>	 david____: some good tips here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_nginx_rewrite--root_access
[06:30:32] <david____>	 ori, yes, I followed the step to setup and it displays the url to http://mysite:80001/wiki/pagename
[06:31:07] <ori>	 oh, you want https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_in_site_root_directory
[06:50:10] <david____>	 ori, thanks but it doesn't work and I open a ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117844 to trace the problem.
[07:03:23] <Nikerabbit>	 did you try setting $wgServer or $wgCanonicalServer ?
[07:09:37] <david____>	 Nikerabbit, thanks and it works
[07:12:55] <david____>	 I use $wgServer and $wgCanonicalServer and my problem is solved
[07:12:57] <david____>	 thank you.
[09:24:04] <darthbhyrava>	 Hello. I'd like to work on T106432: HTML entity (no-break space) escaped in <passwordreset-username> and <passwordreset-email>
[09:24:23] <darthbhyrava>	 I can't figure out which file is causing the error. It is a Special page, so /includes/specials/SpecialUserlogin.php might have a say, and so should /languages/i18n/fr.json, but I'm not sure. :/
[09:24:36] <darthbhyrava>	 This is my first attempt at contributing to wikimedia, hence the unfamiliarity. 
[09:25:23] <darthbhyrava>	 I've posted this on the i18n channel, but there seems to be no activity. Could I please have some help with the flow and files involved?
[10:57:49] <Nemo_bis>	 darthbhyrava: the channel seems active to me, do you mean the messages you left in the middle of the night?
[11:15:03] <darthbhyrava>	 Nemo_bis: wrong terminology, inactive as in having very few users. Guess I should have waited,oops. :P
[15:01:27] <bluenemo>	 hi guys. My client has a Page https://wiki.test.de/index.php?title=Jira and wants to be redirected there when he types in https://wiki.test.de/Jira Can I do that natively with mediawiki or do I have to write some custom nginx rules for this?
[15:02:36] <Reedy>	 Needs to be done webserver side
[15:02:42] <Reedy>	 I think we have examples for it
[15:02:45] <Reedy>	 !shorturl
[15:02:45] <wm-bot>	 To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL> or try the new beta tool at <http://shorturls.redwerks.org/>. There are instructions for most different webserver setups. If you have problems getting the rewrite rules to work, see !rewriteproblem
[15:03:46] <bluenemo>	 Cool, thank you :)
[18:43:22] <Baymax>	 mmmm
[19:22:42] <|Rodejong|_>	 I seem to have lost connection between commons.wikimedia.org and my own wiki at http://www.rodejong.com/Wiki which shows that alle the images are shown as red links.
[19:22:58] <legoktm>	 |Rodejong|_: you need to upgrade your MediaWiki version, because Wikimedia Commons is now HTTPS only
[19:23:17] <ToraxMalu>	 moin
[19:23:24] <legoktm>	 |Rodejong|_: see https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2015-October/000183.html
[19:24:19] <ToraxMalu>	 is there any option to insert CSS-code like "td { display:block; }" in combination with DIV or Span?
[19:25:32] <ToraxMalu>	 or where I’ve to put this CSS-code to use as class-parameter?
[19:26:34] <legoktm>	 ToraxMalu: You can put that in MediaWiki:Common.css with a class, and then set that class in your div/span
[19:27:12] <ToraxMalu>	 i assume to require admin status to do so?
[19:27:12] <|Rodejong|_>	 Thanks Legoktm
[19:27:53] <legoktm>	 ToraxMalu: Yes, you need the 'editinterface' permissions
[19:28:08] <ToraxMalu>	 that doesn’t help…
[19:28:55] <ToraxMalu>	 or is there a know way to format the result of {{Special:PrefixIndex/…}} in only one column?
[19:29:00] <ToraxMalu>	 (instead of 3)
[19:29:20] <ToraxMalu>	 know = known
[19:36:59] <sim642>	 Is it somehow possible to embed youtube videos without needing to install extensions?
[19:37:10] <sim642>	 I can't really install any since I don't own the wiki
[19:42:41] <ToraxMalu1>	 sorry - pc crashed
[19:58:23] <Yaron>	 sim642: no, you would need an extension.
[19:59:10] <sim642>	 Nevermind, I just created a link to the video with the image being also youtube thumbnail URL
[19:59:14] <sim642>	 kinda works I guess
[19:59:21] <Yaron>	 Oh, okay.
[19:59:34] <Yaron>	 Actually, I guess you could do it with this too, but it's a bad idea:
[19:59:40] <Yaron>	 !wg RawHtml
[19:59:41] <wm-bot>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgRawHtml
[20:00:03] <sim642>	 I tried to, but it didn't seem to work on this wiki
[20:00:54] <Yaron>	 Ah. That's probably for the best.
[20:01:25] <Vulpix>	 sim642: you can use JavaScript to embed youtube videos
[20:02:08] <Vulpix>	 in fact, I'm doing that in a wiki just with JavaScript and a Lua template (for sanitizing URLs)
[20:02:27] <sim642>	 how would I be able to have JS if I can't even use raw HTML
[20:02:36] <Yaron>	 Oh yeah...
[20:02:45] <Vulpix>	 sim642: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript
[20:03:25] <sim642>	 I said, I don't own the wiki, so I can't really change anything
[20:03:48] <Vulpix>	 oh, well, in that case there's nothing you can do
[20:04:55] <sim642>	 I slapped this together: http://digi.physic.ut.ee/mw/index.php?title=Mall:Youtube&action=edit
[20:05:07] <sim642>	 now I wonder if it's possible to make that link open in a new tab
[20:06:13] <sim642>	 Or actually have usual image possibilities like floating and captioning
[20:06:33] <sim642>	 because from what I read, embedding external images really lets you do none of that with them
[20:09:54] <paladox>	 saper: Could you have a look at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/250007/ ive changed it with the feedback of @Siebrand.
[20:16:40] <|Rodejong|_>	  ►------------------------------------[Bye Bye]-----------------------------------------◄
[20:18:19] <ToraxMalu1>	 sleep well all
[21:32:01] <PJosepherum>	 hai
[21:32:10] <PJosepherum>	 anyone know much about imagemagick thumbnailing
[21:32:17] <PJosepherum>	 [questionmark]
[21:32:49] <PJosepherum>	 since upgrading to debian stretch (for mysql 5.6) the thumbnailer is encountering issues
[21:32:55] <PJosepherum>	 "There have been too many recent failed attempts (4 or more) to render this thumbnail. Please try again later."
[21:33:04] <PJosepherum>	 i'll be proactive and look for logs
[21:35:23] <paladox>	 Could someone help me to fix echo in metrolook. A year ago it was split out of personal bar in metrolook and its location is to the left off it. Recent updates to echo seem to stop it working with the code. Code looks like https://dpaste.de/LgeO and repo located at https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/mediawiki%2Fskins%2FMetrolook
[21:51:27] <DanielK_WMDE>	 !debug | PJosepherum
[21:51:27] <wm-bot>	 PJosepherum: For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug . A list of related configuration variables is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Debug.2Flogging
[21:51:58] <DanielK_WMDE>	 PJosepherum: it'S probably something simple, like file permissions (on the binary, or a temp dir, or something)
[21:52:32] <PJosepherum>	 fixed it, i had taken ownership of the image directory. chowning back to www-data repaired. thanks anyway :)
[21:52:44] <PJosepherum>	 any idea how to reset the counter for failed thumbnail attempts?
[21:53:16] <DanielK_WMDE>	 PJosepherum: no, but my guess would be that the counter is in the object cache. 
[21:53:26] <DanielK_WMDE>	 if you use memcached, restart that
[21:53:35] <PJosepherum>	 thanks buddy
[21:53:55] <DanielK_WMDE>	 if you use accellerator cache, restart the apache or fcgi or whatever owns the php processes
[21:54:21] <DanielK_WMDE>	 PJosepherum: good luck! I'm off for now. at the office at 11pm...
[22:03:57] <PJosepherum>	 thanks for your help brothaaa
[22:04:15] <PJosepherum>	 i have sorted a whole load of bugs encountered since upgrading to stretch :)
[22:04:57] <PJosepherum>	 next is updating SMW to see if they have finally resolved the issue where referenced properties are not updated in queries which refer to them upon alteration
[23:16:14] <Trela>	 One of those correct if I am wrong questions: Shouldn't this documentation include mysqli in the allowed values?  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDBtype
[23:19:58] <Reedy>	 Trela: I don't think so
[23:20:06] <Reedy>	 MW will just choose the driver to use
[23:21:02] <Trela>	 Read the code for a third time and I think I understand how it does it now.  Since mysqli is listed first as the possible drivers, as long as extension_loaded() returns true, it immediately chooses it.
[23:21:09] <Reedy>	 https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/includes/db/Database.php#L699
[23:22:15] <Trela>	 Thanks.  :D
[23:22:19] <Trela>	 *I read
[23:22:29] <Reedy>	 Trela: HOWEVER!
[23:22:38] <Reedy>	 It might be worth a comment on the page about it can use the mysqli driver
[23:22:52] <Trela>	 I can definitely put that in there.
[23:24:36] <Reedy>	 thanks
