[02:09:11] hey guys, I just updated from 1.25.4 to 1.26.2 and found all my links which contained ampersands are broken, can anyone give me some advise? Still googling, but so far no hits. [02:34:31] even an example of someone elses htaccess who is also on current stable may give me a hint. TIA. [02:41:17] phlunk3: have you updated anything else on your system or just the mediawiki install? [02:41:25] just mediawiki [02:41:41] phlunk3: do you use shorturls? [02:42:00] no I do not believe so, is that some third party extension? [02:42:16] and is it just links to your mediawiki install with amperstands or any url containing them? [02:44:50] just mediawiki [02:46:27] all & in URL's are being replaced with %26, but there seems to be some perma redirect loop happening. [02:48:17] re you running apache or something else as your webserver? [02:48:47] apache [03:20:23] copied someones solution from a much older post and that seems to have solved it. Changed $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript/$1" to $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1" in LocalSettings.php. [04:22:24] I want to request for space for new extenion. I tried to submit the request as per the link https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/New_repositories/Requests but I am not able to submit the request form [04:24:19] while submeeting the from I am getting the message "This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and has been disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do" [04:35:54] Hi! can someone confirm a life bug please? [04:39:18] Sure. [04:41:27] Leah one moment [04:41:48] I could not create pages at [[w:ur:]] in the module_tal namespace; the result was a page in the Main namespace I am searching someone to confirm this and to post a phabricator or another bug report [04:42:04] try to create [[w:ur:module talk:foo bar foobar test]] [04:42:15] https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AA%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%84%DB%82_%D8%AE%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%84_%D9%85%D8%A7%DA%88%DB%8C%D9%88%D9%84:Foo ? [04:42:26] it should be a discussion page but it is not; can you see? [04:42:43] Hmm. [04:42:56] can you see this? [04:43:55] Yes. [04:44:01] It looks like the namespace names are misconfigured, maybe? [04:44:56] https://ur.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general|namespaces|namespacealiases|statistics [04:45:02] while submitting the form "requesting the space for repository" I am getting the message "This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and has been disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do" [04:45:03] Hmm. [04:45:09] I got a message from #wikipedia-fa [04:45:14] can some one help be on this [04:45:47] gangleri|home: You can file a bug in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org if you'd like. [04:45:48] Well, I tried to save the page. Apparently the abuse filter prevents saving the page. [05:42] gangleri|home, this is the filter that is preventing the action: https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/خاص:مقطار_غلط_کاری/21 [04:45:57] The API output doesn't look too crazy. [04:46:32] Hi vinay_. [04:46:34] I'll look. [04:46:39] What's your username? [04:46:39] Leah I do not have access to my account for a while because of an overwhelming email account in Iceland [04:48:35] vinay_: Sorry about that. I turned off the stupid filter. [04:48:42] vinay_: You should be post to the page now. [04:48:55] gangleri|home: Sad. Someone will need to file a ticket if there's a bug in the software. [04:49:05] be able to post * [04:50:43] I live in Munich and my email account in Iceland has switched providers ; it is stupid [05:01:37] Hi Leah my userid is vinaypip [05:08:09] Hi Leah thanks for the help. Great its working [05:09:04] we should move repro requests into phab >.> [05:10:15] Submitting new repository is too difficult in media wiki [05:11:06] vinay_: we had a anti spam filter that you were hitting [05:11:12] vinay_: Leah has disabled it now [05:12:01] yes [05:40:34] hi how's everyone? :) [06:08:18] Hi verawushulover. [06:21:19] Also, sex. [06:23:37] Can I use the syntax on internal links for translation? [09:24:41] I am Jovan Teo, nickname mini_monstar both in here and Google Code-in. I come from Singapore and I would like to complete the task. Thanks [09:32:04] Hello. I would like to list all categories on my frontpage. What is the link/meta to this page? [09:36:11] Blinkiz: {{Special:Categories}} should probably do it [09:36:47] p858snake|_, thanks, but this only links to category page, I would like the categories directly on the main page [09:37:08] p858snake|_, I also have other stuff on the main page, it will not only be categories [13:53:05] i am begginer to Open source i dont know how i can get started to contributing mediawiki could anyone let me know [14:05:21] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute [14:06:52] morning [14:12:09] sagar_: ping [14:20:19] I've got a question regarding one of the mediawiki sites I help administer: When I add a Media or Image link on a page, then click on the link, upload the file, and go back to the page it is not updated. Only if I save the page again (without making any changes) it updates. This is on mediawiki 1.23.1, and since it is a pretty active wiki I'm pretty sure it is something which just happened. Anyone got an idea what it could be? [15:00:55] Looks like setting $wgParserCacheExpireTime=1 solved the problem - not an optimal fix, but should be OK since this is an internal wiki. [18:33:33] hello there [18:34:13] me needs little help, can somebody explain how to add translation tags to a 'category'? It's quite confusing [18:40:13] anybody? [18:45:27] yeah, translate confuses us all [18:45:40] hello [18:46:02] Husun: But basically you add . Later someone has to mark the page for translation [18:46:05] Hi Filystyn [18:46:10] still having problem with There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. G [18:46:55] does someone knows what TRIGGERS IT? [18:48:32] ANYONE?! [18:48:40] Filystyn: Cookie issues usually [18:48:54] Filystyn: Is it your own wiki? check session path [18:48:56] !session [18:48:56] make sure session.save_path is set correctly in your php.ini. Verify that it exists, is readable and writable to PHP, and check that session data is actually being written there. On a server farm, make sure it's a shared directory, accessible from all servers. [18:49:26] Filystyn: Also, some poorly written http proxies can sometimes cause problems with that [18:50:06] bawolff: like add at beginning then at end? But translation tutorial page says different mark-ups are tagged differently [18:50:28] Husun: That's basically it [18:50:37] you can get fancier, but that's the basic [18:50:52] bawolff: ahh, okay, thanks [19:03:27] thx guys [19:03:59] the problem is that some requests manage to work and some not [19:04:03] i wonder how [19:26:35] !ask [19:26:35] Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [19:28:44] Filystyn: Maybe there's something wrong with php's session storage, and session info gets deleted way too fast [19:31:32] ok i did it [19:31:55] very strangely interpretated thing but well hehe [19:43:19] I do not get how you guys get confused with Translate [19:44:33] ITs scary, and terifying [19:44:49] it's cute and nice :P [19:45:46] though a little bit temperamental [19:47:27] Base-w: I think that's referred to as Stockholm syndrome [19:54:52] bawolff: nope I do not think so [19:55:02] Translate has minuses [19:55:10] sinuses [19:55:11] but those are the TUX and related things [19:56:06] and cutting features off tux=0 [19:56:55] like I have now to switch to tux=1 just to set workflow state or whatever it's called and to then switch back to tux=0 since I have no idea how one can work in tux=1 [19:57:41] * guillom has learned to like the Translate extension. Which probably validates bawolff's 'Stockholm syndrome' point. [20:06:45] well I rather like it from the start of interracting with it [20:06:57] back in 2012 or early 2013 [20:07:10] and then it had less bugs to boot [20:09:39] o/ [20:09:48] how can i create a page in mw that only admins can see? [20:16:07] aelevadoan: On your own wiki? [20:16:10] !access [20:16:10] For information on customizing user access, see . For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see . [20:16:23] However, support for view restrictions is kind of iffy [20:16:45] or actually very iffy if fine grained. It works best when the entire wiki is private [20:18:40] bawolff: but i want to put private specific pages only [20:20:25] there's some extensions that can do that, but support is not great [20:20:59] ah ok [20:21:06] would you recommend any of them? [20:21:23] bawolff: or directly not using a public wiki for that? [20:22:50] I'd reccomend using a private only wiki (with maybe a couple pages whitelisted) [20:23:16] but its only for a few pages [20:23:19] the rest is public [20:23:37] I dont want to have to manage two separate wikis for that [20:25:08] there are some scripts to make it easier to have multiple wikis at once on one server, to setup "wiki farms", maybe they help even when just 2 [20:25:40] I have a mediawiki farm [20:25:53] but just didnt want to have two seperate wikis just for several internal pages [20:26:34] i would recommend you make an internal one, it doesnt cost you much and is easier/cleaner than trying to use one of those unsupported extensions [20:27:05] and i'd feel safer that it actually stays private [20:32:19] thanks mutante :) [20:48:45] Anybody have any ideas how to solve (ie make go away): PHP Strict Standards: Declaration of GadgetResourceLoaderModule::getDependencies() should be compatible with ResourceLoaderModule::getDependencies(ResourceLoaderContext $context = NULL) [20:48:51] my error logs are full of it [20:49:34] UltrasonicNXT: adapt your error_reporting in php.ini to not report E_STRICT warnings [20:49:47] E_STRICT warnings shouldn't be set on production [20:49:56] Vulpix: yeah I was thinking of that, isn't that a little dodgy [20:49:58] okay [20:50:12] Hello all! My wiki is localized and for the system messages there is this Gender parameter, which is used to put a verb into a correct gender form. So, for instance, logentry-delete-delete message looks like "$1 {{GENDER:$2|Y|X}} page $3", where Y is the masculine verb form and X is the feminine verb form. Now, for some reason uploadedimage message does not follow this rule. When I substitute its orignial "uploaded «[[$1]]»" with [20:50:27] does not change the verb into its feminine form, it always stays in masculine form, the default one. How do I fix this? Thanks! [20:51:37] Kajra: your message was cut off after "its orignial "uploaded «[[$1]]»" with" [20:52:05] When I substitute its orignial "uploaded «[[$1]]»" with "{{GENDER:$2|Y|X}} «[[$1]]»", it does not change the verb into its feminine form, it always stays in masculine form, the default one. How do I fix this? Thanks! [20:52:47] Kajra: did the original message had $2 on it? [20:52:54] what's the message name? [20:53:00] no [20:53:17] the message name is uploadedimage [20:54:12] hmmm, so $2 won't be substituted... GENDER won't work in that message with $2 [20:54:50] Kajra: I guess file a bug asking for $2 to be added to the message [20:55:05] yeah, that [20:55:31] so, there is no way for me to hack something somewhere to add it? :) [20:56:42] if you know how to add the $2 parameter, you can hack it and probably submit a patch to our git repository so other people benefit :) [20:57:22] Kajra: oh, yes you can add a patch for it [20:57:41] Kajra: See includes/logging/LogFormatter.php [20:58:13] Aha! Will do, thanks! Happy New Year! [20:58:18] or if you're really ambitious convert to new logging format (if it isn't already) [20:58:36] Kajra: Thank you for your willingness to try to fix the probelem [20:59:40] I'll definitely try and see if it is not over my head... If it is, I'll try some more :) [21:09:23] I got the Manual Skinning Page open but not sure if I understand everything. Question: Is it possible to style the wiki like my page (https://Aebian.org) ? [21:10:44] Hi! Please note: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RobertL#the_Babel_extension_and_directionality [21:18:04] I should have posted it in this channel: Hi bawolff Please see https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bawolff about the rendering of a global account page at an RTL wiki [21:21:10] wrap the global userpage inside

so it displays the same on rtl and ltr wikis? [21:23:12] I don't suppose anyone will be able to figure out why centralauth isn't auto-creating accounts locally? [21:44:03] <^> oh! I think I might know why [23:37:02] how do you get mediawiki to echo a variable [23:39:23] !debug | Chiyo [23:39:23] Chiyo: 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 [23:39:36] > One of the first things you will notice is that "echo" generally does not work; this is part of the general design.
