[00:11:14] <darthbhyrava>	 Hello. Is it okay to create rooms on phabricator and add authors of the task you're working on to those rooms in order to talk to them? Or would it be poor etiquette?
[00:16:41] <Reedy>	 Is there any reason you can't just ask your questions on the task?
[00:16:48] <Reedy>	 A lot of people don't notice the phab rooms
[00:22:53] <darthbhyrava>	 @Reedy, no, there isn't. But I was wondering if one could start a convo with an experienced user there, whom they can ping regarding other queries later on in the same room.  Continuity?
[00:23:09] <saper>	 there is IRC
[00:29:41] <darthbhyrava>	 But IRC is punctuated with multiple automated user command messages, and interrupted by others' queries, no? It garners a quick response, but not always from the nick you want (author of task, last patch owner et al). 
[00:30:23] <darthbhyrava>	 I get your point though, I don't need to use rooms right now. I was merely wondering when one could. Thanks for the response, though! :)
[00:42:39] <p858snake>	 darthbhyrava: Use the ticket, that way everyone can see and input into the question
[01:16:36] <aerialB>	 I asked this on #wikipedia already but just realised it's more suited to this channel: Is there any way to increase the amount of results returned by imageinfo by the API? iilimit seems to only concern itself with revisions. I'm stuck with 10 results per page as it is.
[01:23:06] <Krenair>	 can you paste the full url?
[01:23:29] <codynguyen1116>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Imageinfo OK, so it looks like the max is 500 
[01:24:12] <Krenair>	 that would depend on whether you have the apihighlimits right or not
[01:28:12] <aerialB>	 Krenair: Are you asking for the url I am using to query?
[01:28:20] <Krenair>	 yes
[01:28:29] <aerialB>	 sure
[01:30:47] <aerialB>	 sorry it's taking a second as I'm reformatting it from a Python function :)
[01:32:10] <aerialB>	 ?action=query&titles=page_title&generator=images&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url&format=json
[01:32:33] <legoktm>	 aerialB: add iilimit=max
[01:33:28] <aerialB>	 legoktm: I tried, but as you can see from the wiki page on it, iilimit pertains to revisions rather than the number of results. This apparently is a known issue which will be fixed by the module's replacement.
[01:34:05] <legoktm>	 ahhh
[01:34:07] <legoktm>	 :(
[01:34:11] <aerialB>	 yeah
[01:34:17] <legoktm>	 imageinfo has quite a few problems
[01:34:36] <aerialB>	 Guess I'll put up with it, but it seems a funny piece of functionality to have been left out.
[01:35:37] <aerialB>	 Unless there is another module which can give me all the image titles and urls for a specific page?
[01:35:50] <aerialB>	 The only other thing I can find is allimages, but that is not per page
[02:14:09] <darthbhyrava>	 p858snake, cool. I'll continue using the ticket.
[02:40:58] <darthbhyrava>	 I added a patch to pywikibot/core. Do I ask for reviewers' opinion solely on #pywikibot or can I do it here, too? 
[02:43:43] <p858snake>	 you will find more pywikibot developers in their channel
[02:46:18] <darthbhyrava>	 Thanks, again! 
[12:22:09] <Django452>	 I am trying to setup LDAP support for my mediawiki using the LDAP Authentication extension. But I cannot get it to work. These are the logs provided by the LDAP debug https://dpaste.de/pK2y - what am I doing wrong? Why does it fail to bind?
[13:32:37] <yves877>	 hi, can someone give me a tip why i have no pictures/formatting during the mediawiki-installation -> http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160229/qnay5x7e.jpg
[13:33:33] <Reedy>	 Look at your browser console?
[13:35:33] <yves877>	 mh?
[13:36:28] <Reedy>	 Have a look at your javascript console on the browser
[14:31:29] <Auger>	 morning
[14:37:44] <Leah>	 Morning.
[15:29:13] <wordlength>	 Hi everybody! Is there any extension I could use to get the length of every article displayed at the end of the individual page? also: can you recommend an extension to get some statistics (especially Ø article length)?
[15:37:01] <Nikerabbit>	 wordlength: there is Special:ShortPages and Special:LongPages
[15:37:26] <Reedy>	 Should we create Special:AveragePages
[15:37:46] <Nemo_bis>	 Special:TotallyMeanPages
[15:37:54] <Nemo_bis>	 I guess ORES is partly that
[15:38:18] <Reedy>	 select avg(page_len) from page;
[15:38:39] <Nemo_bis>	 Special:BlockbusterPages, Special:MainstreamPages, Special:HippiePages, Special:ContrarianPages, Special:VerySuprisinglyNOtDeletedYetPages
[15:38:56] <Reedy>	 Special:PagesLikedBeforeTheyWereCool
[15:41:14] <wordlength>	 :D We run a rather small wiki (currently a bit more than 400 articles) and because we'll give a short presentation on it, I wanted to see what the average article length is, how an individual article changed over time, etc.
[15:55:22] <G_SabinoMullane>	 Might try https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/StatMediaWiki, but it may be easier to simply run some database queries
[17:47:58] <TimRiker>	 the Special:Ask page from SematicMediaWiki has hardcoded background colors that don't work well with my theme. Apparently there's no .css way to fix it because of the hard coded #eee or white added to tr elements.
[17:51:47] <andre__>	 https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Reporting_bugs
[17:56:07] <TimRiker>	 andre__, thx!
[19:24:10] <ilera>	 hey there, does mediawiki "takeover" emails?
[19:32:18] <Nemo_bis>	 ilera: in what sense?
[19:37:33] <ilera>	 never mind, I did something a bit wrong with the domain
[21:00:11] <jfive>	 hello
[21:00:37] <jfive>	 i have a private wiki running on mediawiki and i'd like to allow the upload of .md files to the wiki. is there any way to acheive this?
[21:01:19] <jfive>	 i've tried setting $wgCheckFileExtensions = false, but i still get the error that "File extension ".md" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (text/plain)."
[21:03:51] <Vulpix>	 jfive: you may disable mime type detection with this variable: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgVerifyMimeType
[21:03:51] <jfive>	 oh wait, there's a includes/mime.types file, sweet
[21:04:02] <jfive>	 Vulpix: ah, nice thanks
[21:04:16] <jfive>	 i've just added "md" as an allowed extension for text/plain in includes/mime.types
[21:04:38] <Vulpix>	 yeah, that's a better option
[21:06:10] <jfive>	 where can i read about how to link to a file i've uploaded?
[21:06:52] <Vulpix>	 !images
[21:06:52] <wm-bot>	 For instructions to use images in MediaWiki, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images>. For more technical details about image uploads, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Administration> and <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads>. Note that uploads are disabled per default (see !uploads).
[21:07:08] <Vulpix>	 yeah, the first link
[21:12:12] <jfive>	 ahh, hmm, now to figure out how to make the file uploads open in a new window ;)
[21:38:14] <jwynn6>	 i'm looking for a plugin that will allow me to set my mw to certain states in time and be able to flip between those states.   I'm trying to put specifications for contracting in and id like to be able to tie a contract to a state and thus show what the contractor is being held to, while allowing the pages to continue to be changed.  Anyone have an
[21:38:14] <jwynn6>	 y suggestions?
[21:43:21] <Platonides>	 flaggedrevs ?
[21:46:36] <jwynn6>	 maybe, it seems like it could work with some process work on the business side.
[21:47:21] <Platonides>	 or you could have several versions
[21:47:38] <Platonides>	 like  template:Contracting_conditions_on_2016-02-29
[21:47:56] <Platonides>	 and template:Contracting_conditions would be just a redirect to the lastest version
[21:49:05] <jwynn6>	 so, could i put a dropdown somewhere that lets the user select from multiple templated versions?
[21:52:38] <Platonides>	 jwynn6: you could have the user {{subst:Contracting_conditions}}
[21:52:50] <Platonides>	 in order to get an inclusion of the appropiate template
[21:53:53] <jwynn6>	 hmm ok.
[22:41:15] <Octalgenesis>	 hello
[22:43:45] <Octalgenesis>	 i have a problem, my gadget option is not showing up in the preferences, i added the line into LocalSettings.php
[22:49:03] <jfive>	 hello all
[22:49:24] <jfive>	 does anyone know, can you migrate a mediawiki db to another host? is there some way to change the hostname?
[22:50:39] <Vulpix>	 jfive: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Moving_a_wiki
[22:55:25] <jfive>	 vulpix is on fire today :)
[22:56:35] <OctalFusion>	 anyone had any opinion on my problem?
[22:58:54] <jfive>	 OctalFusion: sorry i'm not sure what a gadget even is
[23:00:13] <OctalFusion>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets#List_of_gadget_scripts
[23:01:46] <OctalFusion>	 hope that helps you understand, i can't belive that on my first day with this i am getting stuck lol
[23:02:43] <OctalFusion>	 all i want is to make a database searchable, but it seems harder then it looked at first
[23:04:12] <OctalFusion>	 it's supposed to show up if you go under preferences, but it doesn't for me
[23:06:15] <OctalFusion>	 this one in specific that i am trying to enable is called hotcats
[23:06:29] <OctalFusion>	 -s
[23:06:46] <OctalFusion>	 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-HotCat
[23:11:08] <bawolff>	 OctalFusion: Is Gadgets listed on Special:Version
[23:11:10] <bawolff>	 ?
[23:11:15] <bawolff>	 What does Special:Gadgets say?
[23:11:32] <bawolff>	 Have you actually installed any gadgets, or just the extension?
[23:12:09] <OctalFusion>	 i am actually not sure if i got one installed, it's not that specific on what i should do to have one installed
[23:12:53] <OctalFusion>	 is it a script file i should use, where do i put it, do i need to add a line etc...
[23:13:21] <bawolff>	 You put it in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition
[23:13:52] <OctalFusion>	 where do i put that?
[23:14:58] <OctalFusion>	 or where do i find that
[23:19:08] <OctalFusion>	 bawolff?
[23:19:17] <bawolff>	 Its a page on your wiki
[23:19:49] <bawolff>	 see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets#Usage
[23:20:31] <OctalFusion>	 so i add it to a edited page?
[23:21:38] <OctalFusion>	 like for example HotCat[ResourceLoader]|HotCat.js
[23:22:01] <bawolff>	 You have to import multiple pages
[23:22:37] <bawolff>	 on a different wiki you can go to page like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets/export/<name of gadget here> to export a gadget
[23:25:36] <OctalFusion>	 i am very confused...
[23:27:46] <OctalFusion>	 if i don't have the gadget page in preferences, what steps am i supposed to take to enable it?
[23:30:02] <OctalFusion>	 am i supposed to edit files in explorer or can i do everything with the backend when i am logged in?
[23:33:21] <OctalFusion>	 if i go to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition i don't seem to have anything listed there, it just asks me to make a page
[23:39:17] <Skizzerz>	 OctalFusion: it sounds like you didn't successfully install the extension
[23:39:22] <Skizzerz>	 is it listed in Special:Version?
[23:40:43] <Skizzerz>	 if no, follow the installation instructions on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets#Installation
[23:42:29] <OctalFusion>	 i imported the hotcat file and it did 5 uploads
[23:42:46] <OctalFusion>	 but no, it's not listed there
[23:43:27] <OctalFusion>	 the category gadget is however listed
[23:48:26] <OctalFusion>	 gah, i will just reinstall and see if it helps
