[00:12:43] <dtcrshr>	 hmm ill contact the server admin to do this then. thanks very much mutante 
[00:12:47] <dtcrshr>	 beijos
[00:22:29] <XXN>	 Repost. It's enough to create the page ”MediaWiki:Cite_error_references_no_text_category” with content being title of a category, to have categorized pages with broken reference names in that category?
[00:22:42] <XXN>	 i'm about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_with_broken_reference_names
[00:24:29] <MatmaRex>	 XXN: i think so, yes
[00:25:04] <MatmaRex>	 XXN: or not
[00:25:17] <MatmaRex>	 XXN: where did you get that from?
[00:26:45] <MatmaRex>	 XXN: Cite adds a tracking category, but it's defined at MediaWiki:Cite-tracking-category-cite-error
[00:27:17] <MatmaRex>	 (and it's enabled by default, adding pages to - for example - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_with_reference_errors)
[00:27:32] <MatmaRex>	 XXN: your category seems to be some English-Wikipedia-specific magic
[00:30:16] <XXN>	 MatmaRex I deduced it from here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Cite
[00:30:35] <XXN>	 there is necessary some documentation related to these tracking categories
[00:30:56] <MatmaRex>	 XXN: as i said, they are specific to the English Wikipedia
[00:30:56] <XXN>	  i'm trying to enable this tracking category on some wiki, but unsuccesfully ( 
[00:31:06] <darsie>	 Ok, I'm now deleting ~60,000 spam pages, but I can still restore them (e.g. http://www.bksys.at/ecowiki/Apical_Corn_Mallet_Toe ). How do I delete them completely, without a trace?
[00:31:08] <MatmaRex>	 so you'll have to look there. :(
[00:31:25] <MatmaRex>	 darsie: there's a maintenance script that purges all deleted pages
[00:31:30] <darsie>	 thx
[00:31:37] <MatmaRex>	 ("purges" as in deletes permanently)
[00:32:02] <MatmaRex>	 deleteArchivedRevisions.php, it seems
[00:33:09] <darsie>	 thx
[01:09:25] <darsie>	 Do you think DeleteRevision.php has a problem with 3923 arguments?
[01:10:35] <darsie>	 If you want to remove multiple revisions, separate them with a space:  php maintenance/deleteRevision.php 1234 5678 
[01:10:39] <darsie>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:DeleteRevision.php
[01:10:57] <darsie>	 I have 3923 revisions to delete from my main page.
[01:11:52] <Reedy>	 Try it :P
[01:13:01] <darsie>	 ok :)
[01:25:22] <darsie>	 ok, looks like the deleting went rather well, but it seems I have to fix the current revision.
[01:48:42] <darsie>	 updating the page_touched field rerendered the page.
[02:08:20] <darsie>	 Do I have to delete User: pages of spam accounts to delete them with removeUnusedAccounts.php?
[03:23:49] <ElmerG>	 Evening all. I need some help. I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the line-height for paragraphs; I am looking at it with inspect element, and the thing I need to edit is showing up a @media screen .mw-body p and line-height inherit. For the life of me, no matter WHAT I edit, I can't get it to function the same as if I turn off that element from the checkbox there in Chrome. 
[03:24:06] <darsie>	 I have now deleted my spam user pages, called deleteArchivedRevisions.php and removeUnusedAccounts.php still doesn't remove the users. It does say "no log entries", but I can't see a script to delete log entries. Should I delete them with mysql?
[03:35:41] <ElmerG>	 Hmmm. 
[03:38:04] <ElmerG>	 Aha, found it! 
[03:40:04] <ElmerG>	 #bodyContent, got it done.
[05:12:34] <volture_>	 hi everyone
[05:12:43] <volture_>	 just a quick question
[05:12:58] <volture_>	 how can I add html code before the template?
[05:19:59] <volture_>	 anyone?
[07:50:35] <basisbit>	 still having issues with visualeditor setup on mediawiki 1.25.2. it is configured with parsoid service and so on. when loading the edit page, I get error 500
[07:52:19] <basisbit>	 any idea where I could find error logs for that?
[07:52:47] <basisbit>	 syslog only shows some messages from the parsoid service checking for files to convert
[09:44:34] <basisbit>	 so, I started completely from scratch, installed visualeditor as stated in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor (universallanguageselector + parsoid + configured everything as in the example configs + edited it to the corret parsoid port. am still only getting: error loading data from server: HTTP 500. retry?
[09:45:49] <basisbit>	 any idea where I could start for searching the cause of the problem?
[10:09:28] <sDrewth>	 abuse filter question: is "user_emailconfirm" still a primary check?  I cannot see it in the examine componenta of meta.wikimedia
[10:09:36] <sDrewth>	 primary check or abuse filter
[13:17:34] <Niharika>	 Hi basisbit, strewth, try asking in ~3 hours. Our star devs are sleeping. :) 
[14:15:50] <petan>	 andre__: is there any IRC channel for Code-In stuff? something like #wikimedia-codein
[14:16:01] <petan>	 like a place where we could organize stuff :P
[14:23:35] <andre__>	 petan, not yet so far, but I'm happy to conquer #wikimedia-devrel for that? :)
[14:23:43] <andre__>	 it's kind of where my team lurks
[14:24:01] <petan>	 ok
[14:41:45] <codezee>	 how do we get invitation to register on the google code-in site as mentor?
[14:46:54] <pouyana>	 Hi guys, I have a problem with my mediawiki installation. The upload function is not working properly. "mwstore://local-backend/local-public.." can not be created is the error. 
[14:47:01] <pouyana>	 safe_mode is off
[14:47:23] <pouyana>	 and the directory is added to open_base_dir path
[14:47:44] <pouyana>	 I can create directories my self with php in images folder
[14:59:24] <disk>	 hello, any mediawiki experts there? I need help updating the company wiki and have problems knowing where to begin
[15:00:24] <disk>	 I have access to the webserver hosting it and the MYSQL database but cannot find any source code. All I want to do is update the logo in the top left.
[15:00:32] <disk>	 Any takers to help me?
[15:04:04] <codezee>	 disk: if you have access to LocalSettings.php, just change the $wgLogo variable there to point to your logo
[15:04:58] <disk>	 yeah I saw that on the FAQ. Thing is I cant find that file. Where does it usually lie on the server?
[15:05:04] <disk>	 thanks for replying by the way
[15:08:01] <codezee>	 disk: its present in the mediawiki installation root, which by default should be in server root, try looking into /var/www/ if the server root is present there
[15:12:00] <codezee>	 disk: once you find the server root, you could do "find -name "LocalSettings.php"
[15:12:17] <disk>	 found it. So I edit the path to point to my new logo then I guess. Do I need to do anything else after that? Such as a restart, recompile or update database?
[15:13:56] <codezee>	 disk: that should be it, nothing more
[15:14:16] <disk>	 alright, Ill give it a whirl and let you know the results.
[15:21:53] <basisbit>	 Nihakira: it turned out that it didn't work because of missing php-curl. I added it to the dependency list on the how-to-install wiki-page.
[15:25:54] <disk>	 codezee, it did not update. Updated the path of "$wgLogo" Are you sure that there is nothing else to do in terms of updating?
[15:26:36] <codezee>	 disk: refreshed the browser cache?
[15:26:36] <disk>	 there exists a localSettings__.php file and a localsettings~.php file as well
[15:27:11] <disk>	 tried in two different browers
[15:28:07] <disk>	 deleted all browsing history in both
[15:29:04] <codezee>	 disk: is the old logo still displaying, or nothing?
[15:29:11] <disk>	 old logo
[15:29:54] <disk>	 I updated the line in the .php using notepad. Server is located on a machine runnning windows server 2008 which im connected to remotely
[15:30:10] <disk>	 so it is pretty sceled down in other editors or IDEs etc.
[15:34:19] <codezee>	 disk: where is your logo located relative to mediawiki root?
[15:35:13] <disk>	 its locaded at /skins/common/images/new logo.png
[15:38:07] <codezee>	 disk: is your logo accessible by typing absolute path in browser?
[15:40:04] <disk>	 yup
[15:40:50] <codezee>	 disk: try using "$wgScriptPath/skins/common/images/new logo.png" in $wgLogo...
[15:42:30] <disk>	 nope
[15:42:54] <disk>	 Could it be that the image is unsuitable, does not fit etc?
[15:43:26] <disk>	 Why does it fall back to old image and not show nothing or generate an error when I have changed path? It should not find old imge imo
[15:44:42] <Niharika>	 disk: It is probably generating an error and stashing it in the error logs somewhere. Though I have no clue where to find those. 
[15:45:12] <Niharika>	 disk: Try a different image of same dimensions as default one? 
[15:46:04] <RobotsOnDrugs>	 ugh, 1.26 spews out a warning about style module position and PageNotice was not fixed :(
[15:46:18] <Niharika>	 disk: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_logo.3F Is your syntax correct?
[15:47:13] <disk>	 I suppose so. Even wrote absolute path
[15:47:26] <disk>	 is a space bar in file name an issue?
[15:47:32] <disk>	 space field*
[15:47:59] <Niharika>	 disk: Quite possible. 
[15:49:11] <Niharika>	 codezee: If you have registered on the GCI site but haven't received an invite yet, maybe ping andre__? 
[15:49:20] <disk>	 did not change. Anyway. I gotta go now. At least I found the localSettings.php and know where to make the chene. Will continue later on alone
[15:49:25] <disk>	 thanks for all the help
[15:49:27] <disk>	 have a nice evening
[15:49:39] <Niharika>	 You're welcome. Hope you get it to work!
[15:55:34] <codezee>	 Niharika: ok,will do, thanks :)
[15:55:59] <Confused>	 Hi there, I'm having some problems with getting my Wiki online. I can access it from home (LAN network), and I forwarded the port Im going to use successfully. Trouble is this should work but doesn't
[15:56:19] <Confused>	 Do I need to change Apache's config file?
[15:56:49] <Confused>	 Im fairly sure its my apache thats denying access to my wiki
[15:56:58] <basisbit>	 Confused, way more information is needed to be able to help you.
[15:57:06] <Confused>	 because I can see the access log
[15:57:12] <Confused>	 hmmm like what?
[15:57:21] <basisbit>	 can you get a static index.html served by the apache http server?
[15:57:39] <Confused>	 I dont know what that means could you elaborate
[15:58:12] <Confused>	 Im running on xammp, Windows 7
[15:58:14] <basisbit>	 can you get any content at all from the apache webserver to some machine outside on the internet?
[15:58:20] <basisbit>	 oh, xampp. ok
[15:59:07] <Confused>	 I was able to access it from my iphone (using it's internet provider), but problem was that I could not access it 10 mins later
[15:59:14] <Confused>	 and havent been able to since then
[15:59:34] <Confused>	 When I check the access log on Apache, it says the IP address of my phone
[15:59:37] <basisbit>	 then I guess you don't have a static IP address and no dynamic DNS set up
[15:59:42] <Confused>	 but on browswer the link times out
[16:00:04] <Confused>	 I think I have a static IP
[16:00:10] <basisbit>	 or maybe some firewall / IP forwarding issue
[16:00:36] <Confused>	 I should note that I have not tinkered with Apache config files at all
[16:00:49] <basisbit>	 also, please do not use xampp to server public websites to the internet. - it is not secure at all.
[16:01:07] <Confused>	 hmmm should I use wamp instead?
[16:04:00] <Confused>	 ok nevermind I just uninstalled xamp. Shitty think does not work at all
[16:04:59] <andre__>	 codezee, Hey! Nice to catch you! I need your email address to invite you to the GCI site. Could you pass that in a private message please?
[16:06:07] <andre__>	 Meh. Just left. :( Or maybe Niharika has codezee's email address?
[16:14:44] <Niharika>	 andre__: Yep. Messaged you. 
[16:34:25] <Iman>	 Hi.
[16:35:00] <Guest64219>	 How should I do that?
[16:39:18] * DanielK_WMDE__ blinks
[16:42:13] <Guest64219>	 Hi. I have a list of words taken from a long list of articles. Is there any efficient way to identify the time stamp that each of these words has been added to the corresponding article?
[16:44:07] <andre__>	 Guest64219: getting diffs via the API and then parsing them, I'd guess
[16:44:55] <Guest64219>	 You mean for each article I have to get all possible diffs?
[16:46:08] <codezee>	 andre__: I've listed my name under mentors on GCI page, but I've not received an email, can you help?
[17:01:07] <andre__>	 codezee, can you pass your email address in a private message here, please?
[17:02:08] <codezee>	 andre__: sorry to ping again, I had received the email half an hour back, but noticed just now...I can register now :)
[17:03:12] <andre__>	 codezee, ah, sweet! If you need any help or have questions, please let me know! Happy to help!
[17:03:44] <codezee>	 andre__: just one more, does each task require two mentors?
[17:10:59] <andre__>	 codezee, it is not a requirement, just a recommendation
[17:11:07] <andre__>	 codezee, because mentors are supposed to reply and review within 36 hours
[17:11:11] <andre__>	 even on weekends
[17:24:24] <codezee>	 ohh, ok
[17:47:33] <wmat>	 is a page's last viewed date stored?
[17:48:46] <DanielK_WMDE__>	 wmat: no, page views are not tracked by mediawiki
[17:48:55] <DanielK_WMDE__>	 your web server already does that
[17:50:53] <wmat>	 DanielK_WMDE__: that's what i figured
[18:02:39] <Yaron>	 Hi - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/InstantCommons#HTTPS is written somewhat confusingly. Does a site need to be "https://" to use InstantCommons?
[18:03:51] <MC8>	 no, you can load HTTPS on HTTP sites
[18:04:54] <Yaron>	 MC8: alright, thanks.
[18:08:27] <RingtailedFox>	 hiya guys... i'm doing regular wiki maintenance and when i added the UserMerge extension, i got an odd error:
[18:08:44] <RingtailedFox>	 Warning: array_merge_recursive(): Argument #1 is not an array in includes/registration/ExtensionProcessor.php on line 294.
[18:09:03] <RingtailedFox>	 it's MediaWiki 1.25.1 though i'll upgrade it to 1.26.0 if that's the onlly way to fix it.
[18:11:20] <MatmaRex>	 RingtailedFox: are you sure you have the right version of the extension? if you're using MW 1.25, you should use the 1.25 branch of the extension too
[18:11:33] <RingtailedFox>	 ohhh
[18:11:48] <RingtailedFox>	 will i have to change things again when i upgrae to 1.26.0?
[18:11:50] <RingtailedFox>	 *upgrade
[18:13:48] <MatmaRex>	 possibly? most of the time, there is at least some "range" of compatibility
[18:14:16] <MatmaRex>	 but people often change extensions to use the latest features introduced by new MW versions, and sometimes MW breaking changes cause problems with older versions of extensions.
[18:14:29] <MatmaRex>	 so it's best to always use matching versions, unless you really know what you're doing.
[18:21:27] <RingtailedFox>	 thanks, the 1.25.x branch fixed it!  i'll upgrade the extension along side it
[18:26:19] <RingtailedFox>	 hmm... now it says only bureaucrats are able to access Special:UserMerge.... but i'm an administrator...
[18:28:06] <Dereckson>	 RingtailedFox: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge#Installation
[18:29:01] <RingtailedFox>	 yes. i replaced 'bureaucrat' with 'administrator' and nothing happened.  same with 'sysop
[18:29:04] <RingtailedFox>	 '
[18:30:04] <Dereckson>	 if you've opcache, and use php-fpm or mod_php don't forget to relaunch php-fpm/apache after such changes
[18:34:35] <RingtailedFox>	 thanks for the help :)
[20:59:07] <rita_>	 Nikerabbit, can we use the project namespace?
[20:59:16] <rita_>	 Nemo_bis, 
[21:00:11] <rita_>	 if we use it; will it be a problem?
[21:00:19] <Nemo_bis>	 rita_: on which wiki?
[21:01:23] <rita_>	 on mw
[21:01:36] <rita_>	 the software
[21:01:48] <rita_>	 not the website
[21:02:09] <rita_>	 is this namespace free or used by MW?
[21:03:16] <rita_>	 Nemo_bis, 
[21:03:19] <liangent>	 rita_, you can use Project:
[21:03:30] <rita_>	 ok
[21:03:31] <liangent>	 some links in MediaWiki point to that namespace by default
[21:03:38] <liangent>	 but it doesn't try to manage contents there
[21:04:30] <Nemo_bis>	 ...which means you actually MUST write something in that namespace https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_customizations
[21:04:52] <Nemo_bis>	 At very least copyright, unless your wiki is hosted in Afghanistan of course. :)
[21:12:14] <liangent>	 Nemo_bis, did a quick search and it appears some copyright law was already established in Afghanista...
[21:12:43] <liangent>	 and what about hosting in Antarctica :P
[21:13:22] <rita_>	 liangent, Nemo_bis merci
[21:13:34] <rita_>	 we are looking it
[21:20:44] <Nemo_bis>	 liangent: omg so we finally understood what was meant by exporting democracy! not only Coca Cola after all
[21:20:58] <Hero_of_Lylat>	 Question for you guys. What was addOnloadHook replaced by?
[21:20:58] <Nemo_bis>	 I have lost my only counterexample for presentations on copyright :(
[21:21:14] <Hero_of_Lylat>	 I'm trying to update from an older version and I need to fix up our JS
[21:21:44] <Hero_of_Lylat>	 I tried looking through the mediawiki.org site but I couldn't find the docs I needed
[21:44:13] <Renard>	 halp
[21:44:16] <Renard>	 me
[21:46:53] <Krenair>	 maybe
[21:53:10] <RoanKattouw_away>	 Hero_of_Lylat: addOnloadHook( ... ) can usually be replaced with $(document).ready( ... ); 
[22:16:46] <Hero_of_Lylat>	 RoanKattouw: Ah, thanks. I haven't read the source, so I had assumed it was hooked into something important.
