[00:50:01] softplay: sounds like you're using "localhost" as your db server address, but the mysql socket (probably /var/lib/mysql.sock) is inaccessible to the webserver user [00:50:26] if you don't have permissions to change that, try changing the server address to 127.0.0.1 instead to force a tcp connection instead of a unix socket connection [02:27:38] Hey! I need some help for a css fix. On my wiki:https://wiki.gamepaduniverse.com/wiki/PadPedia has three vertical white bars that I want to get rid of. The first starts to the right of "GU" and extends down the page. The second before "Read" and the third after "More". Help? [02:31:55] Oh, the borders. :O [02:32:32] Typing you up some CSS for it. [02:35:20] goodman: http://pastebin.com/pk2j9QuB [02:35:58] goodman: Not sure where the "More" part is, but that fixes the first two. [02:38:22] Thanks! The more part is right before the search box [02:38:44] Trela:thanks for the assistance of those first two [02:39:05] Oh, I am not logged in so I am not seeing that. [02:40:54] gotcha [02:40:57] i found the element [02:41:00] div#mw-head div.vectorMenu h3 [02:41:12] Thanks again! [02:44:29] Awesome. :D [02:46:03] Looks like a good project for game pad users. [02:46:16] Trela:Thanks! [02:46:31] Human-computer interaction is my primary interest [02:47:12] I'll be releasing this app very soon:https://wiki.gamepaduniverse.com/wiki/DIY:Universal_Device_Creator [02:49:16] It's essentially my equivalent work as you helping me out with that css issue [02:50:32] Trela:Do you like? [02:53:16] goodman: Reminds me of a USB application I used to use on OS X. I forget the name, but it detect devices and allow you to build out with graphs what should happen when an input is detected. [02:54:20] Trela:was it for specific types of devices like audio or something? [02:54:37] Any USB HID. [02:56:33] Well how did the electronics part work? For my model, I have a list of supported binding types. Did this app allow you to create the binding types from scratch too? [02:57:31] I am trying to find it again. Unsure of that answer. :) [02:57:41] Trela:I would greatly appreciate the link [02:57:49] it's sort of a niche thing [02:58:16] I don't know a single person irl that knows much about HIDs [03:01:54] goodman: http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/ [03:04:17] Trela:Thanks so much for the link. [03:05:43] It appears to be in a similar vein [03:05:59] just for OS X users only [03:06:07] which is nice since i am releasing on windows [03:06:36] noticing it a hybrid between the app i showed you and the other one [03:06:55] different axioms of thought [03:07:38] similar but very different [03:07:48] thanks for pointing that out [03:08:07] Trela:do you do work with HIDs? [03:08:51] Nope. Most I have done is a small terrible library to bootstrap an old USB device in OS X. [03:09:16] Have to call my mom. Be back in about thirty minutes. [03:09:37] Trela:shall we continue conversation then? [03:15:40] i need help for mediawiki site [03:57:34] The Special:PasswordReset page for fr.wikipedia.org/wiki has an escaped nbsp in the titles of the form fields. I checked the hooks from the documentation, and ended up at /core/includes/specials/SpecialPasswordReset.php. [04:00:02] Here, protected function getFormFields() seems to display the titles of the fields. [04:04:26] But I can't figure out how the 'nom d'utilisateur ' from fr.json is being pulled in here. Am I in the wrong file, or am I missing something? [04:08:14] darthbhyrava: Look for a wfMessage function call. Alternatively it may be building a message translation key to pass to a wfMessage call later on in the processing stack. [04:11:11] IIRC, label messages were being double escaped in OOUI HTMLForms [04:11:18] but I think that was fixed recently [04:11:27] let me check again [04:14:22] Trela, thanks. Waiting for Glaisher to check, now. [04:14:47] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/250870/ [04:15:00] It was merged last week after the deployment branch cut so the fix will reach production this week [04:30:13] Ah, it's been resolved. Thanks for letting me know. [09:37:36] can i upload via api a page just in mediawiki stylized content? [09:39:03] jirib: what do you mean by 'mediawiki stylized content' ? So called wikitext (''tags'', [[links]]) ? [09:39:45] saper: yep [09:43:37] ok [09:44:34] jirib: use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit with contentformat=text/x-wiki [09:44:52] saper: oki thx [12:26:10] hi, is it a probelm to aword every user the right move-subpages on wmf project? [12:34:54] Juandev: which "wmf project"? What is the problem you would like to solve? [12:35:22] Juandev, not in scope for this channel [12:47:36] Krenair: which channel than? [12:47:59] I was told, I should ask devs, wheather it is a technical problem [12:48:30] Juandev, this is #mediawiki. [12:48:54] We should be telling you to ask your wiki's system administrator. [12:50:23] As I happen to be one of your wiki's system administrators, I know that the usual place to ask questions specific to wikimedia's tech setup in #wikimedia-tech [12:52:08] move-subpages can cause a lot of pages to be moved all at once, I wouldn't advise wikis to hand it out to all users unless they restrict registration. Certainly not to anonymous users. [13:09:19] Krenair: well, I thouth that channels takes care just of servers [13:09:23] never mingd [13:09:41] well never min [13:19:56] hi guys. I want to change my URL structure following https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL to wiki.com/wiki/Page_title. Currently I have the Default wiki.com/index.php?title=foobar. When I change this URL Structure, will the old links still work and redirect to the new URL Structure? [13:22:42]  [14:04:15] hi, How can I display/list all the pages that belong a certain category _or to one of its subcategories_? [14:27:45] gioele: maybe https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Deepcat_Gadget:_intersection_and_subcategory_search_on_Wikipedia_and_Commons ? [14:36:25] andre__: thanks [14:38:25] I have another question about categories and templates [14:38:46] I have a page "PageA" that contains only {{Unfinished}}, the page Template:Unfinished contains [[Category:Things to finish]]. How come the page "PageA" is not listed among those that belong to category "Things to finish"? [14:57:52] caching more than likely [15:06:09] p858snake: indeed. purging the page and a dummy edit made the page appear [23:40:23] hey how do I create a template where there is a class added for css reason called "mw-tpl-shopbutton"? There needs to be only one parameter for a url which will be shown as an external hyperlink.
