[01:03:01] <loopyhano>	 Yes
[01:03:15] <Hydronium>	 have fun

[01:07:34] <Hydronium>	 kartikey0303: GCI as well?
[01:09:01] <kartikey0303>	 legoktm: http://ur1.ca/oc9du
[01:09:41] <bd808>	 kartikey0303: one possible cause of that Vagrant/VirtualBox error is a lack of VT-x support in your host computer -- https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/2157
[01:09:50] <legoktm>	 kartikey0303: have you tried it with the virtualbox GUI open?
[01:10:01] <bd808>	 Do you know if you have a 64-bit CPU?
[01:10:35] <kartikey0303>	 bd808: i have a 64 bit cpu
[01:13:28] <kartikey0303>	 legoktm: no the virtual box gui is closed
[01:13:29] <legoktm>	 can you open it? and then try again?
[01:13:30] <bd808>	 good. I hate it when we are installing at a hackathon and have somebody who can't use mw-vagrant because they only have a 332-bit cpu
[01:13:30] <kartikey0303>	 legoktm: tried using gui open. did not work.
[01:13:30] <legoktm>	 what's the error message?
[01:13:31] <kartikey0303>	 legoktm: http://ur1.ca/oc9du
[01:13:34] <legoktm>	 no, I mean does the GUI say anything?
[01:13:47] <Reedy>	 bd808: Someone on #hhvm asked recently "does hhvm support 32bit yet?"
[01:16:26] <kartikey0303>	 legoktm: bd808 was right vt-x is not enabled on my bios
[01:16:26] <legoktm>	 ah ok. he's usually right :)
[01:16:26] * bd808 is a good guesser
[01:16:26] <Hello71>	 bd808: we call it psychic debugging
[01:16:28] <kartikey0303>	 bd808: is there any way to know if my computer supports VT-x
[01:16:38] <bd808>	 Reedy: I don't know if there is a reason that hhvm couldn't be built for 32-bit off the top of my head
[01:16:50] <Reedy>	 Probably not
[01:16:58] <bd808>	 kartikey0303: well... there's this thing called google ;)
[01:17:00] <Reedy>	 Just FB don't see any point to support it, for their own purposes at elast
[01:17:08] <bd808>	 yeah
[01:17:19] <Reedy>	 I suspect there's not going to be many people who'd want to use it, who are going to be running x86 still
[01:17:43] * bd808 builds HHVM for his Acorn
[01:18:00] <Reedy>	 lol
[01:18:09] <Reedy>	 1GB ram wasn't enough for oss-performance testing on hhvm
[01:18:13] * Reedy sighs
[01:18:44] <bd808>	 it takes about 3 hours to do a build in a VM on my very fast mac with lots o' ram and ssd

[01:22:20] * Reedy sighs
[01:22:32] <Reedy>	 You just run it to setup the machine, not polling a server
[01:25:31] <bd808>	 TL;DR don't try to reproduce our results. They may not be reproducable
[01:25:32] <Reedy>	 I also can't believe it's hard to test my MW version bump PR
[01:25:33] <Reedy>	 check it out, run it, see it runs, merge it
[01:25:33] <Reedy>	 Most of my ongoing debugging and such was noted on the PR anyway
[01:25:33] <Reedy>	 Including proof it runs
[01:25:34] <bd808>	 I've actually had pretty good responses getting hhvm patches reviewed and merged but I have tired in their support repos
[01:26:37] <Reedy>	 I'm happy I got it to the point we're shipping a clean MW tarball in it
[01:26:40] <bd808>	 *haven't

[08:40:45] <andre__>	 Psypro: I don't see anything MediaWiki related in that link

[08:41:46] <ThisIsX>	 Would there be a Python version of MediaWiki?
[08:42:00] <andre__>	 ThisIsX: the MediaWiki software is written in PHP.

[08:48:04] <nyuszika7h>	 maybe look for php-json / php5-json or a similar package
[08:48:16] <Psypro>	 PHP Version 5.6.16
[08:48:34] <nyuszika7h>	 found it, install devel/php5-json

[09:03:36] <andre__>	 ananayarora, could you elaborate why you think you're unable?
[09:03:42] <andre__>	 racercoder: Basic information is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend
[09:03:48] <andre__>	 racercoder, do you have a specific question?
[09:04:21] <racercoder>	 Yes! Where can I use it? 
[09:05:10] <andre__>	 racercoder, you can see it for example on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/ compared to https://en.wikipedia.org/
[09:05:13] <ananayarora>	 andre__: There is a bug with the task that legoktm has issued. The MediaWiki panel doesn't show the messages icon. 
[09:05:28] <andre__>	 racercoder: which steps did you perform before only showing "#eee"?
[09:05:39] <andre__>	 ananayarora, which Phabricator task is this about?
[09:06:07] <ananayarora>	 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119377
[09:06:10] <racercoder>	 andre__: I changed $dir to __DIR__
[09:06:29] <andre__>	 racercoder, if you have set up a local MediaWiki instance (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker ), then https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend should tell you how to set it up
[09:06:37] <andre__>	 racercoder, but I'm not sure if I answer your question :-/
[09:06:38] <ananayarora>	 andre__: The Echo extension doesn't display the messages bell
[09:07:48] <andre__>	 ananayarora: legoktm is probably sleeping right now, so you could also describe in the Phab task which steps you have performed and also add a comment in the GCI task that you've asked in Phab
[09:08:04] <andre__>	 ananayarora, did the Echo extension display it for you before you changed some code?
[09:08:19] <andre__>	 that would be also something to make sure first (making sure the problem is related to code changes)
[09:08:19] <ananayarora>	 andre__: Nope. 
[09:08:28] <andre__>	 ananayarora, ah, well, okay :)
[09:08:47] <andre__>	 ananayarora, so you set up MediaWiki locally and installed the Echo extension? Or which steps have you performed?
[09:08:53] <andre__>	 wondering which steps you followed.
[09:08:54] <ananayarora>	 andre__: Legoktm told me to try and update to the latest version of MediaWiki, but that simply screwed up the installation.
[09:09:11] <ananayarora>	 andre__: (Latest version from Git, not the stable one)
[09:09:18] <ananayarora>	 andre__: Yes.
[09:15:15] <racercoder>	 andre__: Did you get the #eee solution?
[09:15:57] <andre__>	 racercoder, how do you mean?
[09:16:16] <andre__>	 If you posted something here and ask whether I've seen it before you got reconnected to this channel, the answer is no
[09:18:12] <racercoder>	 Its okay. My connection was reset, so I had to shut down
[09:19:11] <racercoder>	 I will take care of that. Thanks by the way :)
[09:20:05] <Psypro>	 1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Class 'DOMDocument' not found in...... any ideas?
[09:21:54] <andre__>	 Psypro: not without output where that class was not found
[09:23:01] <Psypro>	 Class 'DOMDocument' not found in /usr/local/www/nginx/includes/cache/LocalisationCache.php
[09:23:24] <Psypro>	 andre__ se bottom of : https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/mediawiki-setup.54362/#post-306081
[09:24:38] <andre__>	 That's in a nginx path
[09:25:37] <andre__>	 ah, but probably unrelated
[09:26:37] <andre__>	 stupid question, but is the corresponding php package for handling xml installed?
[09:26:54] <andre__>	 which distro is this on?
[09:27:05] <Psypro>	 yes, see info.php on the page i posted
[09:27:27] <Psypro>	 xml XML Support active XML Namespace Support active libxml2 Version 2.9.3
[09:28:32] <andre__>	 I don't know enough about BSD I guess
[09:28:37] <andre__>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Errors_and_symptoms#Fatal_error:_Class_.27DOMDocument.27_not_found_in_xxxxxxxx.2FPreprocessor_DOM.php_on_line_nnn
[09:28:39] <andre__>	 is what I had in mind
[09:29:03] <andre__>	 so e.g. on my rpm based distro I'd have to install "php-xml" package. Which is not related to libxml2.
[09:29:31] <andre__>	 Don't know I guess...
[09:32:32] <Psypro>	 andre__ hm... I will look for such pakage
[09:34:51] <Psypro>	 Any one know where in the fil system is the file : LocalSettings.php 
[09:37:40] <Psypro>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php .. I think I found it out.. it is in the / of the mediawiki dir
[09:39:19] <andre__>	 top-level normally, yeah.
[09:43:36] <Psypro>	 andre__ is this vailid text for LocalSettings.php : $wgParserConf['preprocessorClass'] = 'Preprocessor_Hash';
[09:45:38] <Psypro>	 I entered, now mediawiki welcome pages, does not show, only "$wgParserConf['preprocessorClass'] = 'Preprocessor_Hash';"
[09:57:23] <andre__>	 Psypro: why do you think that's a different problem? How did you solve the first problem?
[09:58:06] <Psypro>	 andre__ Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in xxxxxxxx/Preprocessor_DOM.php on line nnn
[09:58:18] <Psypro>	 Therer are two ways, the xml package, or edit this file
[09:58:37] <Psypro>	 As far as I know I have xml
[10:01:57] <Psypro>	 pkg install php5-xml : The most recent version of packages are already installed 
[10:37:49] <ananayar_>	 andre__: Sorry I got disconnected, can you repeat what you said?
[10:39:19] <andre__>	 ananayar_, so you updated to the latest MediaWiki version from git master? Or did you freshly install that latest version?
[10:39:30] <andre__>	 If the first, did you also update your extensions, like Echo?
[10:39:33] <ananayar_>	 andre__: git master
[10:40:11] <ananayar_>	 andre__: MediaWiki itself crashed. It started to give me errors. Echo extension is separate
[10:42:06] <andre__>	 ananayar_, did you update to git master? Or did you freshly install that latest version?
[10:42:48] <ananayarora>	 andre__: updat
[10:42:51] <ananayarora>	 andre__: update*
[10:43:07] <andre__>	 ananayarora, did you also update Echo and related extensions?
[10:43:43] <ananayarora>	 andre__: Nope, but I was getting an error in the skins part
[10:44:01] <ananayarora>	 andre__: I'm probably abandoning this task, I've found a better and easier one.
[10:45:22] <andre__>	 ananayarora, hmm, yeah :(
[10:45:32] <andre__>	 well if you want to give debugging your problems a shot, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_debug is the first place
[11:11:19] <himanshu>	 Hi, How to get this SOMENUMBER query.pages.SOMENUMBER.revisions from JSON response from your API ? please help
[11:13:33] <himanshu>	 ?
[11:28:43] <TridenRake>	 Hey all. Is there a way to completely disable User Pages in mediawiki?
[11:29:04] <TridenRake>	 It is not documented anywhere.
[11:30:31] <ananayarora>	 Can someone review my GCI Task?
[11:30:47] <p858snake>	 you can just do a namespace protection on the User: pages
[11:33:49] <TridenRake>	 p858snake, Like this -> $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_USER_TALK] = ['everyone'];
[11:34:05] <TridenRake>	 Is there a way to remove it completely rather than protecting it.
[11:56:11] <TridenRake>	 I found :) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_add.2Fremove_tabs_throughout_my_wiki.3F
[11:59:40] <TridenRake>	 I still don't understand why $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_USER_TALK] = ['everyone']; is not working. It is not protecting the usertalk page. Am I doing anything wrong here?
[12:09:18] <Glaisher>	 TridenRake: 'everyone' is not a right.
[12:09:45] <Glaisher>	 uh, actually that's right.
[12:09:48] <TridenRake>	 That's what is mentioned on the documentation. What is the right one?
[12:09:58] <Glaisher>	 you just need a "= true" at the end
[12:10:14] <TridenRake>	 Ah! Sorry. Newb mistake again. Ignored it.
[12:10:30] * Glaisher goes on to read the docs..
[12:12:15] <TridenRake>	 Glaisher, Could you give me the correct syntax?
[12:13:32] <Glaisher>	 TridenRake: Actually, that seems right.
[12:13:46] <TridenRake>	 Wihtout "= true" ?
[12:14:54] <Glaisher>	 yeah
[12:16:05] <TridenRake>	 But there is no effect in the main page. I did it to remove user page. I added the extension as mentioned too.
[12:16:17] <Glaisher>	 TridenRake: It works here.
[12:16:27] <Glaisher>	 oh wait...
[12:16:34] <Glaisher>	 You were asking how to protect user pages.
[12:17:02] <Glaisher>	 TridenRake: You need NS_USER
[12:17:07] <Glaisher>	 not NS_USER_TALK
[12:17:52] <TridenRake>	 Does protection is same as removing?
[12:18:00] <Glaisher>	 No.
[12:18:05] <TridenRake>	 Let me try.
[12:18:20] <TridenRake>	 So is there a way to completly remove it?
[12:19:51] <Glaisher>	 No.
[12:20:24] <TridenRake>	 Okay. Thanks, :)
[12:25:02] <TridenRake>	 It works now :)
[12:34:02] <nyuszika7h>	 so does anyone have an idea about this error I'm getting with the Vector skin? http://dpaste.com/3TS6ZYG
[12:34:21] <nyuszika7h>	 this is after upgrading from 1.25.2 to 1.26.0, Monobook still works fine
[12:36:05] <Glaisher>	 nyuszika7h: Is Vector up-to-date?
[12:36:12] <nyuszika7h>	 how do I check that?
[12:36:28] <nyuszika7h>	 do I need to update it manually like extensions?
[12:36:32] <nyuszika7h>	 I ran a 'composer update' to fix another error earlier
[12:37:03] <Glaisher>	 Look for Vector on Special:Version on monobook
[12:37:28] <TridenRake>	 nyuszika7h, Not sure this will help. But did u upgrade the LocalSettings? I had some issue with the skins too.
[12:37:37] <nyuszika7h>	 what needs to be changed there?
[12:37:45] <nyuszika7h>	 version of Vector (and other skins) shows as "–"
[12:38:03] <nyuszika7h>	 https://flarar.cadoth.net/wiki/Special:Version?useskin=monobook
[12:38:17] <Vulpix>	 you should upgrade skins like extensions. If you upgraded by downloading the tarball of MediaWiki, an updated version of Vector is already included
[12:38:42] <TridenRake>	 I think u need to explicitly load the skins in LocalSettings.
[12:38:44] <nyuszika7h>	 ah, I should probably do that in the future then, I'm just using git on the REL1_26 branch
[12:38:49] <nyuszika7h>	 TridenRake: they are already loaded there
[12:39:13] <TridenRake>	 nyuszika7h, In my case they weren't (I updated from 1.24 to 1.26). 
[12:39:38] <Bjankuloski06>	 Hello guys. Can anyone help me explain how to install an extension on our wiki that needs unpacking in directory?
[12:40:35] <nyuszika7h>	 which extension?
[12:40:43] <Bjankuloski06>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WantedPagesFromNS
[12:41:17] <Bjankuloski06>	 we need this, as the standard one on wiki is dead as a dodo, since long ago.
[12:41:24] <nyuszika7h>	 that seems like standard procedure like other extensions
[12:41:25] <Bjankuloski06>	 it's a zip file, and it says to unpack in in directory. I have no clue what they mean
[12:41:38] <nyuszika7h>	 cd mediawiki/extensions
[12:41:40] <nyuszika7h>	 wget http://kazekr.net/inne/WantedPagesFromNS_1.0.1_beta.zip
[12:41:44] <nyuszika7h>	 unzip /WantedPagesFromNS_1.0.1_beta.zip
[12:41:45] <Bjankuloski06>	 yes. but I am ignorant of it :/
[12:41:53] <Bjankuloski06>	 unzip it where?
[12:41:55] <nyuszika7h>	 er, without the slash
[12:41:57] <nyuszika7h>	 in the extensions directory
[12:42:00] <TridenRake>	 Bjankuloski06, U have an FTP?
[12:42:15] <Bjankuloski06>	 don't think so
[12:42:38] <TridenRake>	 Bjankuloski06, U have a cPanel for ur server?
[12:42:53] <Bjankuloski06>	 I have no idea. I am just an ordinary wiki-admin
[12:42:58] <Bjankuloski06>	 bureaucrat, ok
[12:43:01] <Bjankuloski06>	 :))
[12:43:15] <Bjankuloski06>	 and have been so for a long time, but never tackled technical issues
[12:43:25] <Bjankuloski06>	 it's mk.wiki in question
[12:43:51] <TridenRake>	 Bjankuloski06, The easy way to install an extension is using SSH. The next easy way is using FTP. So u need either of this.
[12:43:57] <Bjankuloski06>	 I am a person of the social sciences and clueless, hence my bothering you folk
[12:44:05] <Bjankuloski06>	 I don't know what they mean
[12:44:21] <Glaisher>	 Bjankuloski06: For getting extensions enabled on Wikimedia wikis, you need to request on Phabricator.
[12:44:29] <Bjankuloski06>	 oh, blast
[12:44:46] <nyuszika7h>	 ugh, symlinks are annoying
[12:44:46] <Glaisher>	 but that extension is not installed on Wikimedia, so you can't get it deployed that easily
[12:44:51] <nyuszika7h>	 "cd .." and "ls .." point to two different directories
[12:45:15] <Bjankuloski06>	 ah, that is it. I have installed on our wiki 2 extensions so far, but both were installed on Wikimedia.
[12:45:33] <Bjankuloski06>	 I see, that is why this proves too technical for me
[12:46:16] <Bjankuloski06>	 but our active editors do want the wanted pages, so they asked me to inquire how to install it
[12:47:12] <kartikey0303>	 \leave
[12:49:47] <nyuszika7h>	 fixed it :)
[12:52:25] <Bjankuloski06>	 I shall inquire on Phabricator about this. Thanks a lot, guys!
[13:20:34] <TridenRake>	 Does anyone here use Wiki in their root? i.e site.com/My_page instead of site.com/wiki/My_page. I know the consequences of using it. But does anyone have ever faced any issues by doing this? I could take some advice.
[13:36:07] <TridenRake>	 Is there a way to make Wiki only accessible by its creator? (Not even sysops or admins). I found this general code - $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
[14:10:44] <Niharika>	 TridenRake: you're likely to get more answers on a weekday.
[14:11:28] <TridenRake>	 It's already a weekend? ha ha... Just realized!! Happy weekend everyone. :)
[14:11:47] <Niharika>	 :)
[14:15:15] <Vulpix>	 TridenRake: about your first question, yes, several wikis run under that URL scheme. There won't be problems if you know the consequences *and* do the configuration changes to fix them, usually several exceptions in rewrite rules
[14:16:30] <TridenRake>	 Vulpix, Read a few forums and some stackoverflow questions. I am sticking with the default one. :) Would make the upgrades easier.
[14:17:07] <Vulpix>	 about the second question, that would work, but you'll need to create a new "creator" group, and add permissions to read for that group
[14:17:54] <TridenRake>	 Vulpix, So that means, everytime a user is created, he/she shud be assigned to an indivudal creator group right?
[14:18:37] <TridenRake>	 Like Creator_user1, Creator_user2? Seems, I shud write an extension for this. Or does it already exist?
[14:21:33] <Vulpix>	 groups are general containers, more than 1 user can be assigned to them, so the group should be named "creator" (or similar) and not "creator_user1"
[14:22:33] <Vulpix>	 also I'd expect that someone add those users to such group manually and not happen automatically
[14:23:36] <TridenRake>	 Vulpix, I should have stated it more clearly. sorry.. :P Here is the case. Say all the signed up users want to create a personal wiki for themselves. So each one should need an exclusive access to their wiki. I hope you get it. 
[14:25:42] <Vulpix>	 TridenRake: the script that creates a wiki for themselves should take care of it
[14:26:07] <Vulpix>	 probably the one that grants them sysop
[14:26:20] <TridenRake>	 Oh! Should i write one?
[14:26:45] <TridenRake>	 Cuz, in the existing MediaWiki installation I tried creating a personal wiki for myself. Couldn't find one.
[14:26:59] <TridenRake>	 Sorry if this is really a dumb question.
[14:27:40] <Vulpix>	 creating a new wiki usually implies that a new subdomain or path needs to be created for the new wiki, and a new database needs to be setup
[14:29:18] <TridenRake>	 Okay. :) Thanks.
[14:30:07] <Vulpix>	 maybe you could find an extension to do that, but most wiki farms have their own personalized ones
[14:30:25] <TridenRake>	 I found something. But it seems a dead end. - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PasswordProtected
[14:31:06] <TridenRake>	 I kinda wanted to allow the users to maintain a journal/diary in wiki format. :)
[14:34:39] <Vulpix>	 a blog would be better for that IMHO
[14:36:17] <TridenRake>	 Ha ha... I am actually thinking of adding a blog in wiki too. I don't know maybe I am crazy trying to do this. :) This is what happens when you don't have a job after three years. :D
[14:45:27] <DakshShah>	 I saw a "{{:News}}" on a mediawiki page which loads up embeded content, I wanted to embed the same on wikipedia. Can someone help me on how to do that?
[14:46:06] <Vulpix>	 DarthGandalf: {{:News}} simply transcudes the contents of a page called [[News]]
[14:46:44] <DakshShah>	 Vulpix, Can I add contents of that page as via external linking?
[14:47:08] <paladox>	 saper: Could you review both https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/258681/ and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/258680/ they are both to do with your bug you filed at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121221
[14:47:13] <paladox>	 please.
[14:50:08] <Vulpix>	 DakshShah: do you mean transcluding contents of an external page?
[14:50:20] <Vulpix>	 *external site
[14:51:47] <DakshShah>	 Vulpix, Yeah
[14:52:48] <Vulpix>	 DakshShah: if the external site provides an RSS or Atom feed, there are extensions that allow to embed an RSS feed on a page. That would be usually the cleanest solution
[14:53:57] <DakshShah>	 Vulpix, Oh, Okay Thank You :)
[14:54:59] <Vulpix>	 otherwise you could create an <iframe> to embed an external page, but that will show the entire page, you can't control what sections of the external page display, and is potentially dangerous to allow such thing on a wiki
[14:55:39] <DakshShah>	 Vulpix, Okay I will look into it :) :D

[15:53:54] <ananayarora>	 andre__afk: Hi. I need help. I've converted the extension 'Petition' to Extension registration by generating extension.json using convertExtensionToRegistration.php. It created an extension.json successfully, I loaded the Extension and it was working too, but when I validate the extension.json with valiadateRegistrationFile.php it gives me an error. 
[15:54:16] <Reedy>	 What's the error?
[15:54:38] <ananayarora>	 Reedy: https://dpaste.de/WV8N
[15:55:37] <Reedy>	 What licence do you have set?
[15:56:20] <Reedy>	 Look at the LICENSE file and correct it to match
[15:56:25] <ananayarora>	 Oh
[15:59:13] <ananayarora>	 Reedy: Woohooo! Validated!
[15:59:17] <Reedy>	 :)
[15:59:35] <ananayarora>	 Reedy: Thank You ^_^
[15:59:56] <Reedy>	 Cleanup the PHP entry point if you haven't already, and push it to gerrit
[16:01:04] <ananayarora>	 I'm waiting for legoktm to come online so that he can approve the old task. I've done the old task, and an extra one too. :P
[16:03:10] * Hydronium is falling behind :<
[16:03:28] <Hydronium>	 I blame IRC

[16:04:02] <Hydronium>	 lol
[17:02:09] <anmol_wassan>	 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Gather/all/recent . The search box here is inaccessible. Well, after the "readonly" was removed. It started working again..
[17:02:42] <anmol_wassan>	 So, is the "readonly" creating the problem.. 
[17:02:48] <anmol_wassan>	 ?
[17:55:48] <dpk>	 hi, i'm trying to put a table as a parameter for a template call, but the | of the table {| is apparently being parsed as the end of a parameter
[17:55:50] <dpk>	 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DavidPKendal/MRS%26G
[17:56:31] <dpk>	 is there any way to fix this other than making the table a separate template and using it as a parameter? would that even work?
[18:04:02] <dpk>	 answer: yes, that does work
[18:35:48] <ananayarora>	 legoktm: If you're there please review my work?
[18:43:00] <TridenRake>	 PART wikimedia byebye
[18:43:11] <TridenRake>	 lol :P Aaaaawkward.

[19:09:24] <ford_p>	 hi. i have a live installation of mediawiki on a private server, which i want to move to another subdomain as well as change the storage backend from sqlite to mysql. i have set up a new wiki now and want to dump the old wiki and import it into the new one. is this possible or am i foolish trying this? what about accounts, can i transfer them as well?
[19:19:23] <andre__afk>	 ford_p: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Export and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps ?
[19:19:26] <andre__afk>	 would be my guess
[19:33:52] <ford_p>	 andre__afk: Help:Export seems to cover exports of single sites only. is there any way to do this in bulk?
[19:47:23] <ford_p>	 andre__afk: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Moving_a_wiki seem to be what i need.
[19:48:03] <Reedy>	 !backup

[21:05:47] <cpg>	 hi, i updated to 1.26 and i think we lost the ability to edit or even unlock protected pages
[21:06:00] <cpg>	 i am not 100% sure this was the cause
[21:06:25] <cpg>	 because we updated to 1.25.* not too long ago and i did not notice this issue until now
[21:06:33] <Reedy>	 What makes you think you lost the ability?
[21:19:44] <cpg>	 Reedy: oops, sorry, i missed your question before.
[21:20:12] <cpg>	 Reedy: i may not have lost it, but i cannot seem to find any way to edit the page
[21:20:15] <cpg>	 or unprotect it
[21:20:20] <Reedy>	 Is your wiki public?
[21:20:24] <Reedy>	 Are you logged in?
[21:20:31] <cpg>	 yes, yes
[21:21:09] <cpg>	 i only see these options http://dl.dropbox.com/u/364883/Screenshots/s6n~.png
[21:21:54] <cpg>	 thinking, it could be that out theme changes to adapt to 1.25.* missed a block of links
[21:24:30] <Reedy>	 View source would change to edit
[21:24:42] <Reedy>	 try appending ?action=edit
[21:25:03] <cpg>	 You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
[21:25:04] <cpg>	 This page has been protected to prevent editing or other actions.
[21:25:18] <cpg>	 view source does that
[21:25:27] <cpg>	 (appending the action=edit_
[21:25:33] <cpg>	 (appending the action=edit)
[21:26:14] <cpg>	 oh, i found the protected pages list
[21:26:23] <cpg>	 when i try to change the expiration, i get this:
[21:26:29] <cpg>	 You do not have permission to change protection levels for this page, for the following reason:
[21:26:29] <cpg>	 You cannot change the protection levels of this page because you do not have permission to edit it.
[21:27:41] <cpg>	 my user is admin, tho. i ought to be able to change protection level
[21:27:56] <cpg>	 so it looks more than just an issue with the theme
[21:28:28] <Reedy>	 Look at Special:UserGroupRights
[21:28:53] <Reedy>	 There's not been any major permissions changes in MW in ages
[21:36:14] <cpg>	 administrations should be able to do this
[21:36:15] <cpg>	 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/364883/Screenshots/t~ja.png
[21:36:33] <cpg>	 and i confirmed my user is administrator
[21:36:50] <cpg>	 and i am logged in
[21:58:32] <Krishna>	 Hi
[21:59:03] <Krishna>	 I am running mediawiki 1.25.3 and was running a website speed test.  It says that my skin (chameleon) is not compressed.  The rest of mediawiki is compressed and I have turned on the compression options in my LocalSettings.php.  Does anyone have an idea why this may be?  (link to the speed test result page http://www.webpagetest.org/result/151212_AH_7NX/1/performance_optimization/#first_byte_time)
[22:18:00] <Reedy>	 The skin uses very little JS it seems
