[05:07:41] Some seperators like " | " and "(" ")" are hardcoded in the cologne blue skin. The skin file doesn't have them too. How do I remove this? Could anyone help me here? :) [05:14:48] There are no wfmessage instances either. [09:54:44] rlhrsh [09:54:45] grohjerühjrehjer [09:54:46] dhoerjedtüje+rj [09:55:01] Hello [09:55:15] Were can I send a support ticket to the wikipedia support? [11:05:10] Hey everyone. Can anyone help me how to offset the anchor tag's scroll height? It sort of hides behind my fixed header. [11:10:37] TeidenRaker: Just simple Googling. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4086107/html-positionfixed-page-header-and-in-page-anchors [11:10:51] TridenRaker: Just simple Googling. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4086107/html-positionfixed-page-header-and-in-page-anchors [11:11:33] FiveYellowMice, I did find that. But it involves adding an extra class to the anchor links. :) I just added a before attribute and solved it. :) [12:55:30] morning [14:35:09] Hi, is there a way to debug an extension? I suspect SyntaxHighlight isn't executing pygmentize [14:36:26] !debug [14:36:26] For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug . A list of related configuration variables is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Debug.2Flogging [14:36:32] That should get you going for starters [14:38:56] I tried $wgDebugLogFile [14:39:12] but it didn't log any relevant info [14:39:51] Anyway I think I have resolved the issue now - adding $wgPygmentizePath = "pygmentize"; [14:40:03] instead of $wgPygmentizePath = "c:\\Python27\\Scripts\\pygmentize.exe"; [15:14:48] hey all, question about installing Semantic MediaWiki.... [15:15:13] so which git repo should i need to grab from? [15:15:20] this one? https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FSemanticMediaWiki.git [15:15:38] or this one? https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki [15:16:25] *which git repo should i need to use to get the files? [15:17:29] github I think [15:20:03] ardnet5, https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki links to https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/ [15:20:12] ardnet5, where did you find the git.wikimedia.org link? [15:23:39] andre__ thx for the respond. I kinda forgot where did I found the link, but I think it's somewhere around here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions [15:25:01] so ok, i'll just use the one on github [15:25:05] thx! [15:28:03] Looking for some help...is anyone else here running a MW server farm behind an IIS ARR load balancer? [15:28:56] To clarify, MW itself runs on several Linux servers that sit behind a set of MS IIS servers we use as load balancers for numerous applications, the wikis being just one of them. [16:10:59] Is jenkins-bot still down? Is anyone working on this? [16:15:58] It is up. [16:16:15] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137265 [16:28:27] Glaisher: thanks. I guess I need to re-review a current patch for Jenkins to be notified to also review it. [19:37:50] Does Mediawiki support PHP 7.0? [19:40:52] VisualLearner: mostly yes. i'm not aware of any issues in 1.27. we don't have a CI setup for it and stuff yet, though, as far as i know. [19:46:37] MatmaRex: Any idea why would I be getting this error message for 1.27 when attempting to create a LocalSettings.php file? [19:46:42] https://dpaste.de/2umS [19:47:16] VisualLearner: Do you have the php multibyte extension installed [19:47:22] Which is normally installed by default [19:47:55] hmm, wonder if it was removed in 7 maybe [19:48:31] no, https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-internal-encoding.php says its in php7 [19:48:43] How would I check if I have it installed? [19:49:28] * bawolff would expect the installer to check this for you [19:49:36] Make a php file containing just [19:49:40] and then view it in a web browser. It should list all php extensions installed [19:51:25] maybe the installer uses it before checking if it exists [19:53:24] I have it disabled apparently [19:55:43] VisualLearner: I filed a bug for this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137475 [19:56:12] If you compiled php yourself, you maybe have to provide --enable-mbstring . If you didn't compile yourself, you should complain to whomever you got php from [19:58:56] bawolff - Thanks for filing it! Ps. I installed PHP using '$ apt-get install' in Ubuntu 16. Where do I add the --enable-mbstring command? [19:59:19] I'm very surprised that ubuntu doesn't include mbstring [19:59:53] https://askubuntu.com/questions/491629/how-to-install-php-mbstring-extension-in-ubuntu [20:05:58] bawolff: It works now! Thanks :) - Ps. apparently I had it already installed, I just had to turn it ON in php.ini "zend.multibyte = On", as the default is OFF [20:07:04] bawolff, apparently that's new in PHP7 [20:07:38] * bawolff thinks that's rather silly [21:14:57] * GrandePuffo notte [21:17:45] Hi... I can't login anymore on any wikipedia server because of a username change request (which was accepted and propagated on all other servers) which did not update correctly on mediawiki servers. Can anybody help me solve this issue so that I can login again. My username is "AlessandroDiFrancesco" [21:18:38] How long ago was it? [21:18:41] It can take a while [21:21:17] any admin here ??? [21:22:35] Lots of admins here, but admins aren't the group handling global renames [21:23:33] Sorry if I'm at the wrong place but where should I go then? I've been looking to solve this issue for the entire day but there seem to be no place to go or form to fill or person to contact ! [21:24:19] I have the feeling my account is in a wikipedia bug loophole and I'm just trying to solve this but there are no options offered from the login page [21:24:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalRenameProgress/AlessandroDiFrancesco [21:24:36] It's still marked as in progress on mw.org [21:25:03] Yes... It has been like that for 2 days... while on the other servers it just took a few seconds after the request has been approved ! [21:25:28] I know the status, I just need a support/technical representative to tell me it's normal [21:25:52] Or how many more days I have to wait without being able to login just for a name change! [21:26:34] It looks to be done on mw.org [21:26:39] User account "Alessandrodifrancesco" is not registered. [21:27:06] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/AlessandroDiFrancesco concurs that you're renamed on mw.o [21:27:08] That's the OLD name... that I changed for AlessandroDiFrancesco (capitalization issue) [21:27:29] Yes [21:27:40] So, it's moved your account from the old name [21:27:54] Yes [21:28:09] But I'm unable to use neither the old or the new name on any server [21:28:41] What error do you get? [21:28:47] Have you tried just resetting your password? [21:30:10] Just tried again... same issue: "Your account is currently being renamed or merged." [21:30:54] Well, you didn't give the error message before [21:31:00] I guess that's some false positive [21:31:08] There's some job thathasn't reported back that the rename on mw.org finished [21:31:17] Considering you have no contribs there, it would've been trivial [21:31:39] Thanks for your help Reedy but I've been talking with other people earlier today which went through the same steps you did apparently in trying to help. Can't you put me in contact with an admin or point me to a kind of technical support contact/form/ticket system [21:31:55] Depending who you've been talking to [21:31:59] I've probably got more access than them [21:32:04] !bug [21:32:05] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ [21:32:07] ffs [21:32:08] !phab [21:32:08] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ [21:32:13] ^ Bug reports go there [21:32:21] But if you can't login to mediawiki, you won't be able to login to phab [21:32:45] Thanks... but I have no way to know really... There is no information related to this issue really. No link on the login form. No link after the error message [21:33:03] I'm just trying to be able to login [21:33:08] or to have someone solve that issue [21:33:25] I'm asking the person that wrote the code [21:33:38] instead I'm just going from chat to chat, from nice person trying to help to another nice person trying to help... but never any solution [21:33:45] Thank you 1 [21:33:48] I appreciate [21:34:12] It seems there might be some known issues with the rename [21:34:24] *global rename process [21:34:40] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135656 [21:36:03] Well from my side there seem to be a problem and a real lack of information for the end user regarding the status (in progress for 2 days does not mean anything to me). I would also suggest adding an option "If there is a problem with your account go there or contact XXX or fill the following form" so that an admin can check) [21:38:32] what should I do now? Should I wait here for my login problem to be solved, will someone contact me when working on it ? [21:38:55] I might have a solution [21:39:15] ? [21:41:04] Try now? [21:41:22] "There are no renames in progress for AlessandroDiFrancesco. They may have already finished." [21:42:33] Yeeees!!! It works !!! [21:42:43] THANK YOU VERY MUCH REEDY !!! [21:42:47] You are my hero :-) [21:43:39] hi, is it possible to have several site logos and sidebars, different for various namespaces? [23:58:46] auvajs: I guess it might be, but you'd have to customize your skin, might be able to get the namespace type with the outputpage object.
