[11:32:16] Hello, I have a problem to install mediawiki [11:33:39] !ask | Bastenbas [11:33:39] Bastenbas: Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [11:38:01] Mediawiki is on my server and php is install but when I open the configuration file there are a blank page. [11:55:02] Hi Bastenbas. [11:55:19] Bastenbas: Which configuration file? LocalSettings.php is not edited via a Web browser. [11:55:29] You edit LocalSettings.php in a text editor. [11:55:55] It's the first installation [11:56:01] Bastenbas, how do you "open the configuration file"? what is the "configuration file"? [11:56:10] Please be exact and leave no room for interpretation of your steps [11:56:24] otherwise we might end up talking about different things [11:57:31] andre__: the /wiki/mw-config/index.php [12:02:41] Bastenbas: see the other question [12:03:11] Bastenbas, why do you think "/wiki/mw-config/index.php" is a configuration file? Where is that written? [12:03:22] or which exact Installation guide do you follow? [12:04:40] I follow this : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide/fr [12:06:26] Bastenbas: nothing in the guide says that's a configuration file, do you mean that when you navigate to your unconfigured wiki you just see a blank page and can't being the installation? [12:06:46] (in French, it appears to state the same thing as the English guide, so...) [12:07:24] teward: yes [12:08:00] check your webserver / PHP error logs - blank page either means something is missing or some other issue [12:08:07] (missing PHP depends for example) [12:12:39] Bastenbas, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Errors_and_symptoms#You_see_a_Blank_Page [12:24:58] teward: Yes, there a problem with PHP. I will remove and reinstall it. Thanks ! [12:25:52] doubt it's a 'problem' moreso than something missing [12:31:57] Bastenbas: reinstalling is unlikely to fix problems... If you know there is a problem with PHP, could you share how exactly you came to that realization? [13:09:49] morning [17:02:05] How do I make this terrible Gerrit server take new a new ... push for... my thing? [17:02:07] This is terrible. [17:04:01] ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/publish/master (squash commits first) [17:04:09] Do that then... [17:04:11] ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/publish/master (duplicate request) [17:04:22] I wish Wikimedia would switch to Github, Gitlab, or ANYTHING else. [17:04:45] Trela, which command did you execute to get that output? [17:05:47] Trela: plus which tutorial did you follow that says to "git push"? Normally you "git review" when using Gerrit. [17:05:51] see e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial [17:13:06] andre__: The tutorial does not help. I no longer have the "magical not-a-branch branch" since I deleted my original check out of Mediawiki. [17:17:46] Now I have to delete the repository on disk since it is FUBAR. [17:40:50] Trela: Doing git push is fine. Just make sure your commit is the only one in the branch that's not in master, and that the Commit-Id: header in the commit message is a totally random value you haven't used before [17:41:18] Trela: And also, people are talking about switching to something called diffusion, but probably still a ways off [17:43:41] Anything that does not require this fragile way of try to send patches to the foundation would be amazing. This goes back to my thing of, "I have to send this through Gerrit... Is this really worth my time to send to them?" [19:21:30] Hello, I would like to know how Wikipedia helps people with low vision? [19:22:23] Мне стало интересно, потому что это очень важно [19:36:51] Not really the right place. Most browsers can increase font size by pressing ctrl+shift++ (Ctrl shift and plus all at the same time) [19:47:31] hey, I have a bit of an issue with Extension:Translate [19:48:03] when I add a page to a category, and then translate the page, all language subpages of the page appear in the category as well [19:49:32] how do i go about making only the main page appear in a category? [19:50:57] Hi :) at #wikimedia-codereview we have a codereview hour from 20:00-21:00 UTC (in about 20 minutes). You are invited to join, and to help with reviewing changes (just join, and discuss with us), or you can get changes reviewed, just join and let us know, what we can review. [20:28:25] anybody here know about Extension:Translate? [20:29:18] shmn_01: maybe someone in #wikimedia-tech or #wikimedia-i18n can help you. I know there's a way to fix the category things, but I don't know what it is [20:29:29] ah [20:29:51] the last time i was on #wikimedia-i18n, literally nobody was in the room lol [20:30:18] oh sorry, I mean #mediawiki-18n [20:41:23] still waiting for a reply in tech [21:01:26] i might try asking #wikipedia-en for help [21:01:27] just in case [21:07:04] looks [21:07:06] whoops [21:07:15] looks like the wikipedia irc couldn't help [21:08:36] shmn_01: Ok, I'm going to look up how to do this for you [21:09:05] i appreciate it; i really don't want to be a pest if it seems like i'm spamming [21:09:28] I just assumed someone who knew what they were talking about would have answered you y now [21:10:04] So one approach that seems common is to have [[Category:Category name{{#translation:}}]] [21:10:37] and then the english pages are in the base category name, and the other's are in / subpages [21:10:54] I see, I'll test it now [21:11:45] I guess maybe another approach would be {{#ifeq:{{#translation:}}||[[category:cat name]]}} [21:11:51] assuming you have parser function extension [21:12:20] i don't think i have the parser extension enabled right now [21:13:40] the {{#translation:}} trick seems to work! [21:13:54] thank you so much! [21:13:56] yay! [21:14:09] sorry it took you so long to get help [21:14:18] it's fine, really [21:14:30] it's nice to get help at all
