[00:13:16] o/ [00:13:33] does anyone know if theres a way of transcluding a wiki article between different wikis? [00:13:46] !scarytransclusion [00:13:46] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual%3A%24wgEnableScaryTranscluding [00:14:14] thanks Reedy [00:47:52] A colleague has just created a private wiki and I logged in to create a page, and it says I dont have permissions [00:48:03] but in user preferences Im in the admin group [00:55:45] does anyone know why mediawiki would invalidate my password minutes after it was created? [07:54:21] Hello. I am Jordan from Dunman High School. Participating in google code in.Hope to receive your guidance:) [10:40:51] Hi Peirce here [11:02:59] Hello [12:15:35] hi, this is my first time on IRC chat [13:43:27] Hello. I'm trying to send an API request to edit a page. It says The token parameter "was found in the query string, but must be in the POST body". What is this "body"? the parameter called "body" in the post request? Maybe someone can show a curl example on how to do that? [13:44:27] what? [13:44:35] you need to set content [13:45:23] can anyone show me the full example? [13:46:58] because the relevant page uses a GBET request which I suppose no longer works https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#Example [13:47:02] *GET [14:04:44] gleki: Don't send it as a GET parameter, POST it [16:07:21] Hello, Does anyone know of an Editor that works with Semantic Forms [16:07:30] Hi peircechow! Welcome. [16:07:45] WikiEditor shows Wiki Markup instead of Styled content in the free text field [16:21:17] Is there a way for WikiEditor to show formatted text rather then wikimarkup [16:21:47] No [16:21:54] You'd need to use something like VisualEditor [16:44:14] Question: is there an arbitrary post length limitation for the api? sysop is trying to pull maximum number of page contents from wiktionary, but seems to be limited to a post length of 8k or so. [16:47:56] I installed Visual Editor but its not showing on the site [16:48:01] do i need to disable WikiEditor? [16:52:18] This is whats in my local Settings: http://hastebin.com/yibobuvepo.php [16:52:30] just shows default mediawiki editor currently, disabled custom extensions [19:00:10] is there some character other than | I can use in API queries to split up params? [19:06:30] specifically the ucprop parameter for usercontributions [19:06:38] Ulfr: no...why? [19:06:53] because googelscript has kittens when I pass a URL with a | [19:07:21] thus improving the health of the internet. [19:07:46] :( [19:08:08] dunno how that improves the health of the internet when it means I have to run several queries instead of just one xD [19:09:10] Kittens, specifically pictures of kittens, have been found to improve the health of netizens through some really strange research published recently. Have you tried escaping the pipe symbol? [19:10:14] I've been trying alternate hex and ASCII codes, but any way I feed the | to the fetch script results in frothing rage [19:10:24] which is really not a whole lot from a script engine, but I feel the hostility [19:11:09] and I'd postulate that your kitten hypothesis has holes, because I had to take care of a kitten for a weekend once. that thing was a demon [19:12:02] * Ulfr facepalms. [19:12:12] Carry on. Evidently hex encoded chars don't have a % at the end :( [19:14:28] heh [19:15:02] “something|else” becomes “something%7Celse” when urlencoded [19:15:31] Correct! [19:15:46] however the three hours and change I spent earlier on this issue I thought it was %7C% [19:15:50] thus error [19:16:54] ouch. [19:25:25] Seconded, motion approved. Though now I get to figure out how to script in a chart, so I think I preferred being ignorant about hex encoding [19:31:00] Good night. Good work. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning. [19:33:26] Hello, I've translated about 50 entries, but I can't seem to find a page I can fully translate. I have edited a page with the tags, but I can't translate that either. [19:47:38] invertedbob_, which steps did you perform? Also, #mediawiki-i18n might also be a good audience [19:48:39] Andre__ I have translated 50 entires using the translator tool, I know it said 20, but I got a bit carried away [19:49:05] invertedbob_, "it" being a Google Code-in task? [19:49:10] * andre__ misses some context [19:49:55] Yes. I'm, currently waiting on another task to get approved before taking up that one, but I started working on it. [19:50:04] Let me get the link :) [19:51:23] invertedbob_: Whou. Thanks so much for your hard work and making MW docs more translatable! :) [19:52:03] invertedbob_: You arnt meant to translate stuff for GCI [19:52:15] https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/5596007547011072/?sp-organization=5505623550590976&sp-is_beginner=False [19:52:24] Nemo_bis probably has more knowledge on that area. Or #mediawiki-i18n [19:52:27] This is the task I want to work towards. [19:53:16] Marking as translatable is that task. Translating from one language to another language is not part of the task. Just clarifying here. [19:53:45] (We're not allowed to have translation tasks in GCI because that is a rule by Google. But as Wikimedia we are of course happy to have more translations.) [19:54:21] andre__ well I guess I messed that up a bit, but some translations never hurt. And it was pretty fun, too :) [19:54:53] invertedbob_, cool! Glad you enjoyed it :) [20:02:31] andre__ So, what exactly do I have to do to complete that :) ? [20:03:06] invertedbob_, the GCI task links to detailed steps at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Language_policy/Migration_list#Google_Code-in_task_description [20:03:26] invertedbob_, if any of the text is unclear, please share which parts so we can help :) [20:06:08] andre__ how exactly can I have my page approved by a translation admin? [20:11:41] is parsoid required for visualeditor? [20:13:58] bb8r2d2, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor says "relies on the separate nodeJS-based Parsoid parser service to be up and running" [20:14:19] invertedbob_, that is a good question for #mediawiki-i18n - I'm not familiar with the workflows, sorry :-/ [20:14:41] andre__ I'll check over there, thanks for the heads-up :) [20:15:13] sure sure :) [20:15:20] So annoying the lack of a good editor that works for Semantic Mediawiki and Mediawiki. Makes the platform very frustrating to work on. [20:15:27] Switching to Sharepoint, thanks for the help [20:16:11] yw :)
