[01:38:27] is there anyway to make a display title treat underscores literally instead of converting them to spaces? [01:43:04] nevermind, I think {{DISPLAYTITLE}} is what I need, I was using it incorrectly. [07:50:43] hi there! I am trying to setup an automated check for some of my mediawiki installations to be up-to date. [07:51:16] Is there a place where I can read, in a simple way, the lastest available mediawiki version? [07:51:58] by example, when I entered this channel, the topic says: "Stable release: 1.26.2". Is it set automatically? How? [08:37:19] swill: you can subscribe to the following email list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce [08:41:11] p858snake|_: thank you for your answer, but I need something that can be checked by a script [12:11:39] Hello all, I am looking for administrative assistance for authoring a sub-page for an existing encyclopedia article [12:12:48] any admin's online & available? [12:24:11] JohnnyBgut: this is the support channel for the mediawiki software; if you want help with English Wikipedia try /j #wikipedia-en [12:45:12] Fuck you fuckikng fucker [12:45:14] s [12:57:10] Strange, if not an impersonation, it's a regular Wikimedia user with a barnstar [12:57:13] https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Andre_Engels [12:58:50] Dereckson: Andre_Engels is not logged in currently, so probably an impersonation [13:09:20] Not so sure: it has a more or less sane if angry and frustrated discussion on #pywikibot [13:10:02] I'd bet he's frustrated and angry not to be able to run easily a bot [13:11:28] :( [14:26:10] a css question: i try to change background color it won't affect the lower part of the left side bar (starting at an arbitrary point, unrelated to where the side bar menu entries section ends). it looks like a well known issue. i tried "html, body, div { background-color: #000000 !important; }" (also at the end) and other combinations, it's still white. [14:28:14] jkale: Hit F12, inspect that white part and see if there's a CSS rule applied to it making it white, overriding your choice [14:30:06] jkale: Vulpix 's idea is the best way to check those kinds of issues. [14:35:20] Vulpix: nothing gets selected when i hover around that area. it's as if it doesn't exist. [14:38:13] jkale: try by clicking the 'curser icon' on top left of the window after pressing F12 [14:39:14] jkale: what wiki? what skin? what page? [14:40:10] sanjay_: i'm not sure i understand what you mean (i did click the "arrow" icon), but everything else gets selected [14:41:53] jkale: sorry ,only this much i can help you as i am a student , you could post your doubt here so that others can get to you. [14:51:30] Vulpix: it's just localhost and i won't manage to make it public, but it's the standard 1.23 lts with no Vector.css and with Common.css that includes only the "html, body, div [etc.] { background-color: #000000 !important; }" and i'm very confident it's a reproducible bug. note that you won't see it with short pages (it won't get to the "whitening" part). i expected full black, including the footer *and* the left bottom corner. [14:53:20] jkale: if you are able to reproduce that on a public wiki, that would help. browser's developer tools (F12) usually have a section to add/modify stylesheets, where you can copy your style html, body, div { background-color: #000000 !important; } [14:59:12] Vulpix: it happens on all wikis. i'll try to find one. [15:19:46] Vulpix: sorry. they all prevent me from editing their css. but let's put it the other way around: have you ever managed to control the background *color* of the bottom left corner of a long mediawiki page? [15:20:54] jkale: you don't have to edit their common.css, you can edit it inside the developer tools! [15:22:11] Vulpix: right. i misunderstood your message. sorry. [15:27:12] Vulpix: i'm not familiar with css terminology, but it looks like i need to place html, body, div { background-color: #000000 !important; } further down in the css file list. it works in load.php and inline style sheet #6, but not on anything "earlier" than inline style sheet #4 (including inline style sheet #4). [15:30:59] Vulpix: do you think there's css mediawiki applies after Common.css and Vector.css? [15:32:17] jkale: order can be overridden by making the CSS selector more specific [15:32:49] so basically you should find first what other CSS rule is overriding yours [15:36:09] Vulpix: yeah... i'm trying to figure it out [15:44:52] jkale: the point where we're stuck is in finding another wiki where you can't inspect the white region [15:54:09] Vulpix: found it. it seems Vector.css applies after Common.css. there was a html { background-color: #FFFFFF !important; } (i have no idea why) at some point in Vector.css. they promise Common.css applies to all skins which i thought also meant it applied at the end. [15:54:23] *an html [15:55:01] Vector.css is meant to override Common.css [15:55:38] Vulpix: is there any way to override all skins? [15:56:33] create the most specific CSS selector you can [15:57:18] and don't use !important on trivial rules that must be overridden in other parts of the site [15:57:52] thanks for your patience! :) [17:49:55] hi [17:50:03] im trying to change my password at phabricator and at gerrit [17:50:07] and none seems to allow it ! [17:50:12] anyone knows how to do it ?! [17:52:40] lfschenone: phabricator doesn't store passwords AFAIK, you either login with your MediaWiki or labs account [17:53:23] lfschenone: to change your gerrit password, you need to change it from https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/ [17:53:33] thanks vulpix ! [18:42:45] Vulpix: still there? [18:43:03] yes [18:45:31] Vulpix: do you happen to know anything about RDFIO and ARC2? i keep getting an error on *every* page save (yeah, finally thought of addressing it). [18:47:04] no, sorry [20:08:20] hello, [20:40:51] Hi. [21:36:25] Does anyone know the extension that wikimedia uses to globally rename accounts? [21:42:02] ah I think I'll actually move this question into #wikimedia's channel [21:43:36] globalrename? [21:43:42] !globalrename [21:44:08] ah nvm, it's a function that's part of CentralAuth [21:45:24] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:CentralAuth/Global_rename
