[00:00:55] On your own wiki? [00:01:19] !wg MaxImageArea [00:01:19] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgMaxImageArea [00:08:31] yes [00:09:27] Reedy: Thank you [00:22:10] I'm looking for a plugin I can use to put a hidden comment on a page. I want the comments from all pages to be viewable from one common location (along with links to the page where they were placed). I'd like the link to be entered by editing the page. The idea is to be able to insert comments on what needs to be done to a page later, when time permits, and to be able to find them later when there's time available to improve the content. Anyone know o [00:22:10] f a plugin which fits my needs? It's really hard to sift through the thousands of plugins to find one like this. Thanks. [00:50:34] any idea why second level sidebar entries wouldn't show up? I've purged aggressively to no avail. [00:56:42] nvm, i was formatting the link wrong :/ [01:02:37] emacer: One way would be to use HotCat (a gadget) and assign the pages to certain maintenance categories [02:02:11] Hey everybody! I wanted to know how to get started with developing the source code? [04:57:39] a general question related to GCI, is there a limit on the minimum number of tasks that a mentor should suggest before applying for mentorship? [04:58:01] codezee: I don't think so. [04:58:27] codezee: I'm mentoring 2 tasks so far and applied for mentorship. I'll be adding tasks as we go along though. [04:58:46] codezee: You should add tasks leftover from your GSoC project to it! [04:59:29] Niharika: hmm, I was thinking the same, except that there are only one or two of them that are easy enough for gci, so the question [04:59:50] codezee: Break up the harder ones? [05:02:58] Niharika: also, the gci page for mediawiki says, "you can become a mentor anytime", but I guess the deadline to apply for that would be well before 7th Dec? [05:03:54] codezee: Not sure about that part. andre__ would know, but I think he's zzz. [07:28:14] Is there a way to hide a prefix from all subcategory or page names when looking at the category view? [07:29:08] For example, let's say the wiki has [[Category:Lists]] and is filled with articles called [[List of dogs from Mars]], [[List of injured veterans]], etc. [07:30:05] Is there any way for users viewing [[Category:Lists]] to be shown links named "dogs from Mars" and "injured veterans", with "List of " cropped? [08:59:31] Hi. I have a problem with multiple usesr working on different subchapters under a chapter on wikipage. There are error that they cannot save. What can be the problem? [09:22:56] Hi. I have a problem with multiple usesr working on different subchapters under a chapter on wikipage. There are error that they cannot save. What can be the problem? #mediawiki [09:32:42] Guest92542, hard to say without the error message [09:33:16] codezee, no there is no minimum number. Your one or two tasks are welcome! :) [09:38:38] The error says there is a conflict: someone has edited. Even though they are on different section on the same wikipage [09:42:41] Hi. I have a problem with two users working on different subchapters under a chapter on wikipage. The error says there is a conflict: someone has edited........ Even though they are on different section on the same wikipage. What can be the problem? #mediawik [09:43:05] The problem could be a software bug. A list of edit conflict bugs are listed under https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T72163 [09:50:12] Thanks for the comment: it is a bug. [09:53:19] Lets say I have a document format with chapters and subchapters that I paste into a wikipage. The different users will write on different subsections at the same time. We have done this and with have editing errors. Is it possible to avoid this problem making a format, namespaces, kategories or something else? [09:53:49] you would need to use separate pages or subpages [11:34:20] bl [11:34:21] ub [15:28:36] hi all, I just changed the ip's of my web and mariadb containers. made sure the mw-settings are correct. however the page complains that 'Cannot contact the database server' even though it's certainly up [15:28:50] any idea what could be wrong? (the machines can definitely see each other .>) [15:30:09] <[PiR2|Idle]> did you check your configuration too? [15:30:46] which configuration? [15:30:48] <[PiR2|Idle]> LocalSettings.php make sure $wgDBserver etc. are right [15:30:54] that's what I just said [15:30:57] 'mw-settings' [15:31:05] not sure what else I could do [15:31:15] there's no firewall rules on the db-server [15:32:50] hmmmm, wait. I think the db has some rules for who can connect .. [15:32:51] let me see :) [15:33:54] hah, derp. totally it. will change and should be ok then [16:28:48] Hallo. [16:29:22] With the SiteMatrix API I can get information about all the sites in the wiki family - language codes, and site codes. [16:29:49] * Reedy wonders if aharoni is stating facts [16:29:50] :P [16:29:56] For Wikimedia sites this would be 'wiki', 'wiktionary', 'wikibooks', etc. [16:30:05] Till now - facts. [16:30:08] Now a question: [16:30:32] What's the easy and robust way to get the current site's code? [16:30:46] I'd probably use meta=siteinfo [16:30:50] I could get the whole SiteMatrix with the API and find the current site there, but that sounds silly. [16:31:00] Let's see... [16:31:22] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bsiteinfo [16:32:45] Hmmm. [16:32:52] I'm not sure that it gives it. [16:33:18] I can get 'enwiki' for en.wikipedia.org there, but what I'm looking for is 'wiki'., [16:33:33] I wouldn't expect siteinfo to have it. [16:34:28] hmm, see what you mean :/ [16:46:35] aharoni: Are you trying to get en.wikipedia.org from 'enwiki' or vice versa? [16:46:53] Niharika: no [16:47:11] I'm trying to get 'wiki' from en.wikipedia.org, fr.wikipedia, hi.wikipedia.org, etc. [16:47:26] 'wiktionary' from en.wiktionary.org, fr.wiktionary.org, hi.wiktionary.org, [16:47:27] etc. [16:48:27] I see. How about parsing the url? (Sounds silly, yep) [16:57:22] Niharika: I could also parse wgDBname, but it's not guaranteed that dbnames map to these codes perfectly. [16:58:16] If this code would be "wikipedia" for en.wikipedia.org, and its DBname was guaranteed to be "enwikipedia", it would be better, but it's not :( [16:58:33] aharoni: I'm not sure, but what is wgServer for? [16:59:43] Nope. Not that. [17:02:29] There's gotta be something. There's hundreds of config variables here. [17:04:59] you could compare this against the defined interwiki codes. [17:12:05] Hi, i am new here and I would like to contribute to the project.Where do i start? [17:14:40] I'm looking for a plugin I can use to put a hidden comment on a page. I want the comments from all pages to be viewable from one common location (along with links to the page where they were placed). I'd like the link to be entered by editing the page. The idea is to be able to insert comments on what needs to be done to a page later, when time permits, and to be able to find them later when there's time available to improve the content. Anyone know o [17:14:40] f a plugin which fits my needs? It's really hard to sift through the thousands of plugins to find one like this. Thanks. [17:48:42] thedj: can I pm? [20:36:08] legoktm: sure .. [20:50:40] Hi! I have a small query. In this example: http://thottingal.in/projects/js/jquery.ime/examples/ In the editable box below, when I choose any input type other than English, and press return, the next input goes to the beginning. Why? [20:51:18] nehaljwani: probably a bug [20:51:29] santhosh_ / santhosh ^ [20:52:43] ori: what I am confused is, why does it not happen with english [20:53:08] or any input with English characters [21:19:56] I replied to a comment on a patch set in gerrit and it automatically becomes a draft with no visible option to save/undraft it. Is there a way to publish the comment? [21:20:08] Click review [21:20:55] Thanks! [22:01:56] RFC meeting starting now in #wikimedia-office: API-driven web front-end [22:09:04] hey there. is there a better way to make a static copy of a generic mediawiki than to use wget? [22:11:01] using the usual wget the User: pages are missing for example [22:11:13] i guess because nothing links to them in the wiki itself [23:00:13] ori, gwicke, bd808: in my experience of mobile browsing, the biggest UX performance problem is not RTT or bandwidth, it is packet loss [23:00:41] it's not our fault your ancestors chose to settle some island at the end of the world [23:00:47] but yes [23:00:48] TimStarling: fair point [23:01:09] I mean, most people are patient enough to wait a few seconds for an article to load on their phone [23:01:25] it's when it stretches out to minutes just to load the initial HTML that it gets annoying [23:01:29] TimStarling: HTTP/2 is helping a bit with that [23:01:54] QUIC even more [23:02:41] but short of that, the main thing we can influence is size [23:02:52] yes, there's no packet loss with UDP. at least none that i'm aware of ;) [23:03:01] at least if the articles are short, you have a better chance of loading the article before the connection drops out [23:03:12] ori: the improvement is in the recovery from packet loss [23:03:33] for TCP, even a relatively small loss rate can stall things for a long time because of HOL blocking etc [23:03:39] i know, and to work around tcp slow start [23:03:39] yeah
