[13:12:16] morning [13:36:30] Hey there [13:36:56] I have a question about wiki templates. How to prevent autogenerated html? [13:37:00] ... there [17:06:59] Hi - is there any way to make a talk page on mediawiki.org not use Flow? [17:07:22] It looks like sometime in the last month or two, talk pages started using Flow automatically. [17:09:50] A new talk page, that is. [17:45:53] I asked this before, but: is there any way to make a new talk page on mediawiki.org not use Flow? [17:46:23] if there is one, it's a bug :P [17:47:04] MaxSem: that's bad. [17:48:12] I want to keep making archive pages for an existing, non-Flow talk page - I guess I can no longer do that? [17:49:46] This seems like bad decision-making on someone's part. [22:03:01] if i have no access to a wiki's db, but i can import the user: pages (about 30), can I do that, and then create the user via email-psw, getting each user to reenter their password? Or is there another way to preserve the user accounts & user pages and user talk pages? [22:03:44] this is part of moving the wiki to a new server..... [22:07:22] hypergrove: the important part will be do match the user IDs with the user IDs in the newly created pages to preserve history [22:07:46] s,do match,to match, [22:08:26] hypergrove: you can dump a lot of the page history/information using [[Special:Export]] [22:08:30] !export hypergrove [22:08:30] To export pages from a wiki, navigate to Special:Export on the wiki, type in the names of the pages to export, and hit "export". See for an example of this form. See also: !import [22:09:02] i understand, and excellent point -- how do i ensure the correct user id is assigned to each user [22:10:47] the IDs will be in the dump [22:12:14] saper, yes in the dump, but is there a simple way (beyond editing the db) to ensure the previous id is assigned to a user? [22:14:14] i think i need to put more pressure on to get the db in hand..... thanks [22:14:24] let me check [22:16:46] poking around in the "maintenance" directory but nothing there to help [22:17:15] if your users have consecutive IDs, just try to create them in the same sequence [22:17:58] ok, thanks again and much appreciation to all of you [22:19:06] With PostgreSQL I'd just readjust the sequence giving out user IDs, with MySQL you can ALTER TABLE user SET AUTO_INCREMENT=x [22:19:19] ah gone
