[10:20:16] hello? [10:20:50] i had a quick question about caspervend ^^; [14:01:40] @seen dispenser [14:01:40] Niharika: Last time I saw Dispenser they were changing the nickname to DispenserAFK, but DispenserAFK is no longer in channel #pywikibot at 2/14/2016 6:41:10 AM (1d7h20m30s ago) [15:38:10] I'm interested in solving bug phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121281..Can someone help me in getting started? [15:40:13] You might be better asking in #wikimedia-mobile [15:53:10] Alright! [19:40:58] hello there [19:46:54] Hi, I'm trying to setup mw on a nginx box. Are there any detailed steps out there on getting that setup? [19:47:11] !nginx [19:47:11] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !filesize, [19:49:05] when i update, is there some way to get LocalSettings.php automatically updated to the new format? or will i be stuck with its whatever-i-happened-to-install-first version forever? [19:50:33] there is not, but the format of the file doesn't matter [19:50:54] why are wikipedia "hatnotes" done with a custom module? can't it be done with standard wikitext, or HTML in it? [19:50:59] content changes (like how new extensions/skins are loaded) would need to be performed by you when you need to do them [19:51:21] Skizzerz: thanks [20:29:28] howdy [20:30:20] we had a spammer spamming our wiki, so we deleted the pages and blocked the users, but MW shows the deletion history and page title, and Google has indexed that [20:30:41] is there any way to have MW mark deleted pages as noindex,nofollow? [20:33:37] Turl: apparently yes, because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asdfgh or https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asdfgh&action=edit&redlink=1 have it. can't tell you how, though. [20:33:47] does it not do that by default? [20:38:46] maybe the sitemap doesn't list deleted pages, but if google has indexed them and the sitemap doesn't tell to remove them, google keeps them for a long time? [20:41:19] MatmaRex: those pages don't seem to be deleted [20:41:45] um, how so? [20:41:54] they're very definitely deleted, four times too [20:42:11] (it is, rather, that's just one page under different URLs) [20:42:55] MatmaRex: hm, my MW instance says "This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference." when you delete it [20:43:15] and "there is no text on this page" if it never existed [20:43:53] Turl: yeah, it's customized on Wikipedia, but it's the same message. [20:44:50] unless we're seeing something different? http://i.imgur.com/2ckerTQ.png [20:46:18] MatmaRex: log off/private window [20:46:20] MatmaRex: I see no red box [20:48:29] hmmm, interesting [20:49:05] huh, true. but they still have when i'm not logged in. [20:49:27] indeed [22:06:51] Is there a way to fetch a page using its page id instead of title? Tried to understand it via API but I don't want it in JSON/XML, just want it to display normally [22:07:39] i.e. as in index.php?title=Something but I want to specify page ID instead of title... [22:08:54] gunnarx: index.php?oldid= [22:08:55] gunnarx: yes, ?curid= IIRC [22:09:04] oldid is revision id, not page it [22:09:05] ah, curid [22:09:06] !index.php [22:09:06] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parameters_to_index.php [22:09:08] no oldid is for revision [22:09:12] MatmaRex, thanks I'll try [22:09:33] "cur" doesn't really mean "current" the way "old" means "old" ;) it's for historical reasons [22:09:46] YES! I was trying newid, pageid, id... everything I could think of :) [22:10:00] Oh, that's good to know, I guess :-P I just care that it worked. [22:12:39] thanks MatmaRex for the web page too [23:44:57] The "vendor" repo doesn't use tags? Is there a canonical way to sync it up with mw-core? [23:45:47] There's branches? [23:45:48] https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-vendor/tree/REL1_26 [23:48:00] Ah, thanks. I'm so spoiled with the taggging in core :) [23:48:20] heh [23:48:37] vendor shouldn't change much (at least, in release branches), so you should be good
