[00:00:12] I am using MediaWiki 1.24. I am trying to add a meta tag to all my pages for theme-color (android chrome will change url bar color), but this seems... nigh impossible, even with extensions. [00:00:43] I only see extensions for SEO like keywords and titles and descriptions, is there any way to add a custom meta tag to every page? [00:02:35] Edit the available skins. [00:03:58] Which file in a skin would generate the meta/head elements? e.g. VectorTemplate? [00:06:14] I don’t actually know the ins and outs of editing mediawiki skins. But if you are focusing on android chrome, you could focus on a mobile skin and discover where in there it might be located? or, of course, find someone actually knowledgeable about such topics here in this channel. [00:07:29] I'm not really focusing on it much, but my main site has theme-color set, but when you get to the wiki it goes away, and its triggering my OCD... I may be able to just add the line to wherever is generated, it doesn't seem to be in the skin [00:07:36] i can see how it's building the page in the template though [00:08:36] you need a spot with access to $wgOut, then you can do "$out->addMeta('theme-color', '#54487a');". I'm doing it in a hook on 'OutputPageBeforeHTML' in my template [00:10:06] I see [00:10:12] Interesting how google did not surface this [00:10:50] This is probably out of date, but https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:OutputPage.php [00:10:51] thanks :D [00:11:11] I found this https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_add_meta_tags.3F [00:11:24] just gotta figure out where to put it, but now i'm on track [00:11:30] Cool! [00:26:50] got it working :D [00:30:00] \o/ [02:26:04] guys can anyone comment if mediawiki is more cpu bound or ram bound? [02:26:13] or I guess i/o bound [02:26:28] if you were selecting an AWS instance for hosting [02:30:30] Deep6: I would worry more about ram then cpu, as more ram = you can make your apc cache bigger (if you're using apc) [02:30:45] ok that's the way I thought [02:30:52] went for an r2.xlarge [02:31:19] but I don't really know. Probably depends on the types of visitors, what extensions, etc. Best answer will be gotten by profiling [02:32:31] sorry r3.2xlarge - 8 cores and 61GB RAM [02:41:35] bawolff: I'm almost embarassed to say it'll likely be used by maybe 10 people [02:42:31] Deep6: Sorry, I left irc - but, as long as you have cache (like apc) enabled, with a big enough cache size, MediaWiki should not require very much resources [02:42:35] esp. If only 10 people [02:43:03] yah 61GB of Ram should do it I think [02:43:07] :P [02:43:22] yes, that's definitely more than you need [02:45:21] well I work in one of those big orgs where people go.....it can't be that cheap [02:45:24] it must not be worth it [02:45:33] so you have to charge something just so people take you seriously [02:47:40] Deep6: Well if it makes you feel better, you can give me a bunch of money ;) [02:50:49] bawolff: you know let me take that into consideration [02:50:54] long pondering consideration [02:50:59] it might last a decade or 2 [02:51:16] I still be here ;) [02:51:20] *I'll [02:52:14] sadly so....will I [02:53:37] just about 30% through the Working With MediaWiki book [02:53:57] going to be using SMW as you suggest [02:54:13] any more focused info on semantic drill forms etc? [03:02:18] I honestly have very little knowledge about SMW [04:38:07] I just realized my Mediawiki instance's MySQL tables are almost all MyISAM. Does anyone know if I can change them to InnoDB? [07:32:21] good morning! [07:34:51] maybe someone can help me ... we upgraded mediawiki to 1.25.1. all our files, were in the images directory. the new version thinks they are in subdirectories like /images/7/7e/test.jpg but they are not. they still are in the main directory. anyone knows how to fix it? [07:35:39] I have recently installed and configured a mediawiki on my localhost, which has resulted into a site. How can I make changes to the site, change the look and feel of the site? [07:36:31] mainly, how can I start or whats the best way to start development in mediawiki?
