[00:00:23] i am testing [00:01:56] testing *what*? [00:02:35] z_AlexJFox: your page is inheriting a weird rule, rather than the global rule set, I'l do some more testing [00:02:55] Thank you [00:09:45] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:01] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:02] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:02] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:03] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:03] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:04] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:04] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:07] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:08] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:08] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:09] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:09] http://goo.gl/TbCqFi [00:10:25] 'Testing' ^^ [00:10:37] z_AlexJFox: huh [00:10:46] Scroll up [00:11:08] It's that guy who came in before [00:11:29] right [00:20:21] ugh [00:25:01] Has anyone ever had the content of a specific page break their html? I.e. make a div that should be a child of globalwrapper become not? [01:15:16] Does anyone know the best way to migrate pages from an old wiki? Special:Export, or transwiki via $wgImportSources? [01:15:21] Or something else? [01:23:08] HappyDog: Won't know unless you provide the specific versions [01:25:00] Old wiki was for a project long ago, and is currently MW 1.6 [01:25:07] New wiki is main company wiki, 1.25 [01:25:34] I could upgrade old wiki, if necessary, but would rather not have to. [01:26:02] We want to move project pages into main company wiki before we shut it down [01:28:13] HappyDog: I don't know the specific process for that version, but I would suggest checking out http://serverfault.com/questions/333284/what-needs-to-be-done-to-cleanly-move-a-mediawiki-installation-from-one-server-t [01:29:06] That's not really relevant - it's about moving a wiki between servers. [01:29:18] I have two existing wikis and want to move pages from one to the other. [01:33:35] HappyDog: Other than https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Export I don't have specific experience with what you're trying to do. Somebody else here might though [01:37:15] HappyDog: special:import export is the easiest [01:37:25] depending on the number of pages [01:47:47] Couple of dozen. [01:48:12] Will special import overwrite existing pages or can you specify a different namespace? [01:57:58] HappyDog: afaik no via the web interface [01:58:07] i'm not sure about the maintence script if there is one [02:04:06] p858snake: I guess I'll need to do some experimenting. Thanks for your help. [02:32:43] Evening all. Is it possible to use CSS or wikicode to put a vertical scroll in a Vector sidebar? [02:42:05] ElmerG: If the sidebar has overflowing content you might be able to put a scrollbar on its container. css property is overflow-y:scroll; [02:43:45] * ElmerG nods. It's a collapsible vector, it just ends up opening up off the bottom of the screen when multiple things are open. I'll look into that. [02:44:50] ElmerG: Without a page of the vector itself I'm not much further help, but vectors certainly are fun to play css hide and seek with [06:30:03] Update on 512MB server, testing Mediawiki's built in cache. https://gist.github.com/Cyken-Zeraux/58e0afd131d17a9f575b [06:31:40] Memory stayed stable, however CPU maxes out, but still meets a pretty good amount of requests. Various mediawiki varnish configs are being troublesome with cookies, will provide an update when I get that working [07:47:29] Hi! I am running MediaWiki 1.27 with VisualEditor, and I want "Cite" functionality without having to edit source code. How can I achieve this? I don't have a Cite-button, which I see Wikipedia has. [07:53:33] Langdal: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CiteThisPage [07:53:54] Not sure if you mean a cite button in the editor or not [07:58:19] langdal: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Citation_tool this might help you more, if I remember correctly there was someone in here earlier that had issues with mediawiki 1.27 and Cite [08:04:26] CZauX, Yeah I have some wiki-users that I want to shield from having to edit source (to the degree possible), and neither Cite nor CiteThisPage give you a "button" in VisualEditor. I have looked at the Citation tool page, and followed the steps without luck. [08:12:57] Langdal: Have you tried in the stable branch? [08:15:26] CZauX, no. The VisualEditor page states that it is not supported with MediaWiki 1.26.2 [08:16:56] CZauX, or actually I see that I could download an older version. [08:17:01] of VisualEditor [08:18:15] Langdal: If its not supported in 1.26.2 I wouldn't think it would work in 1.27 without modification. I'd look at what versions Mediawiki or Wikipedia are using. [08:23:38] CZauX, I'll try to set-up a local installation of mwiki 1.26 with an older VisualEditor, to see if that get's me anywhere. [08:24:08] Langdal: Happy hunting, let us know what you find [08:39:25] hello. anybody here who can help me? i tried to enable short urls on my wiki and now all i get is an internal error [08:42:02] brabupunk: Need more information to help with that. Apache or nginx? .htaccess if apache or vhost? [08:43:10] apache i think [08:44:18] brabupunk: I'l still need more information than that. Do you have access to the websites virtual host config, or are you trying to use .htaccess files? [08:45:38] i dont have access to the virtual host files [08:45:51] i tell you what i did: [08:45:56] brabupunk: Are you using a shared hosting service like Dreamhost? [08:48:49] i renamed the old directory from /wiki to /w and made these changes in the localsettings.php. then i went on http://shorturls.redwerks.org and used the .htaccess file that the site gave me and changed the localsettings.php according to what it said [08:50:55] and then i couldnt get to any site on my hoster [08:51:08] brabupunk: what is your hosting service? [08:51:15] so i tried to change it back [08:51:28] 1und1, its a german company [08:54:17] brabupunk: shortURL in .htaccess can have problems with shared hosters due to various vhost settings. If you followed http://shorturls.redwerks.org/ then I don't have many suggestions. I know with Dreamhost shared hosting I couldn't get it to work [08:55:05] https://piratenpad.de/p/mw-error << this is what $wgShowExceptionDetails shows me [09:06:34] You need to also update the config in LocalSettings.php with your article path. [09:10:25] brabupunk: try $wgUsePathInfo = true; right below ArticlePath [09:15:55] with articlepath everything i get is a plain white page, usepathinfo changes nothing [09:20:37] brabupunk: Do you have this set for example it should look like [09:20:38] $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; [09:20:38] $wgUsePathInfo = true; [09:21:00] yes [09:21:10] brabupunk: Also in .htaccess is it set like this [09:21:10] RewriteEngine On [09:21:11] RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/index.php [L] [09:21:14] for example. [09:23:33] this is my .htaccess: [09:23:35] RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L] RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2 [L,QSA,B] RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_U [09:25:30] but when i upload the .htaccess i get an 500 internal server error [09:25:42] brabupunk: Thanks, is $wgScriptPath set like $wgScriptPath = "/w"; [09:26:01] brabupunk: Try changing .htaccess through your online panel [09:26:09] from who ever hosts you. [09:26:11] please. [09:28:41] you mean like the webspace explorer on their site? [09:30:22] yes [09:31:26] brabupunk: I also doint think the article path config was meant to do what you want it to do i think it was meant to have a short url so instead of index.php it would be replaced with something like wiki or any other different short urls not / [09:32:08] theres no option to open it, just copy paste delete and such [09:35:25] brabupunk: Hi could you add this [09:35:26] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [09:35:26] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [09:35:37] in front of your RewriteRul [09:36:14] brabupunk: So it looks like [09:36:14] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [09:36:14] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [09:36:15] RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L] [09:37:03] brabupunk: Do you use cpanel or does your host give you a custom panel. All panels should include a way to view and edit your files through the browser. They call it file manager but can be different. [09:39:12] theres a webspaceexplorer on the website, but all i can do there is upload, download, copy, paste, delete and such. [09:39:37] brabupunk: Oh, but is there a way to edit files. Do you use cpanel. [09:40:09] So uploading .htaccess causes problems for you. [09:41:17] brabupunk copy all of .htaccess text and paste in a blank notepad and save then delete the .htaccess file then go to your fttp client and re create the file and see if it will let you create and edit it. [09:43:56] theres no option to edit files on the website [09:44:39] brabupunk ok. [10:22:01] iro: Update on earlier, basic Varnish benchmark https://gist.github.com/Cyken-Zeraux/8450f333459157cf6d3d 2300 requests a second. [10:23:36] Surprisingly, this $5 wiki could survive a reddit hug. [12:40:07] morning [12:53:14] hello a question about cloning enwiki, there is invoke everywhere sometimes it fails, i had imported i think everything well, but then i have this srbunto thing, about wikidata, it failes because wikibase not configured., can anyone help me with that? [12:53:42] *Scribunto [13:44:59] need to log into Riga Wiki and can't [13:51:15] Can I log in now? [13:57:13] fuck it, i just reinstalled mediawiki. now it works like a charm again, except for the stuff from extensions but these are just a few downloads. [15:37:53] How can I find out my user name? I haven't used it in several years. Help!! [15:39:14] Anyone out there? #mediawiki [15:47:15] Pam: in which wiki? [15:52:24] Nikerabbit - http://wiki.dreamhost.com/FTP [15:53:34] Pam: you could try if any of the thousands in http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&offset=&limit=500 ring a bell or use the filters [15:56:16] that didn't help me at all. [16:01:51] 3 min isn't a long search :) [16:03:38] i don't know what to do here. forget it. not helpful [16:10:23] bye [21:45:20] Hi Nikerabbit. [21:45:53] z_AlexJFox: Yes, if you have an unclosed div, it can break the page layout. [21:51:29] Leah: I thought MediaWiki was supposed to automatically fix any unclosed tags to prevent abuse. [21:52:05] Isn't that tidy? [21:52:21] yes, that's tidy [21:53:43] Aha, figured it was tidy [21:55:13] Right, HTMLTidy is used within MediaWiki. [21:55:17] On some wikis. [22:07:57] how to make Scribunto and wikibase work ... [22:09:29] i have imported enwiki and i have little lua errors [22:09:39] Hello! My name is Chet DeLano, Community Manager for a game in development called StariumXCV. In designing the look of our existing mediawiki page, there are drop shadows behind the images. I realized they're not part of the images themselves, and I'm having trouble as to where I might find.. perhaps an extension that is causing this? [22:09:57] The link is: http://reference.stariumxcv.com/index.php?title=Main_Page [22:10:01] i tried to configure wikibase but not sure how [22:12:01] hi starimux [22:12:08] it is basic [22:12:11] http://reference.stariumxcv.com/skins/mistylook/main.css?270 [22:12:20] remove the border anmd background image [22:12:23] and [22:12:31] it is part of the skin you have installed [22:12:51] Ok, thank you! [22:13:02] StariumXCV: you can inspect CSS applied to elements by hitting F12 and using one of the buttons to select an element of the page to see it's properties [22:13:15] you can find such things if you use chrome, right click and inspectm then see css place, by disableing or enabeling tles [22:13:30] styles [22:13:34] yeah, that [22:16:31] is anyone familiar with wikibase [22:16:38] extention [22:32:09] Hi shimondookdin. [22:32:17] You can try asking your question in here or in #wikidata and someone might know. [22:32:27] Or #wikimedia-dev or probably some others. We have lots of channels. :-) [22:36:08] all the channels \o/ [22:36:46] i have imported enwiki and try to install it so it will work well. [22:36:55] i see error [22:36:56] Lua error in Module:Authority_control at line 346: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). [22:37:31] i have downloaded the wikibase extention but i am not sure how to configure it [22:37:40] so the enwiki will work [22:38:10] ooooh fun [22:38:17] maybe wikibase should be configured to use wikidata [22:40:43] i have few more problems [22:41:06] it works slow when it downloads images [22:42:44] also it displays in the infobox
