[02:35:08] Quick question: How can I change the welcome email for accounts which have just registered? Ideally, I would like to edit the complete HTML of such emails. [03:15:58] Hi JustAnIng. [03:16:04] You can edit some wiki page. [03:20:44] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllMessages&prefix=enotif&filter=all&lang=en&limit=50 [03:21:00] You can edit a page in the MediaWiki namespace to change the text. [03:21:14] You shouldn't need to edit the JSON files directly. [03:49:06] Sorry about the late response, but will the MediaWiki pages to change the email message accept HTML? [03:52:21] Probably not? [03:52:28] Are the e-mails currently HTML? [03:52:32] Or are they plaintext e-mails? [03:52:45] JustAnIng: ^ [03:53:18] They are currently HTML [03:53:32] Did you install an extension of some kind? [03:53:45] I don't remember MediaWiki shipping with HTML welcome e-mails. [03:54:23] I'm not positive then [04:06:15] JustAnIng: Are you talking about the plain text default emails from mediawiki or the HTML emails that Echo sends out? [04:07:23] I thought the default emails were html, but I may be mistaken [04:07:43] I am referring to the default MW emails [04:10:28] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T15303 is such a train wreck of a task. [04:16:29] The default emails are still plain text (some email clients may claim they are HTML just without any styling), but there is a Google Summer of Code project to implement HTML formatted emails [05:24:28] is there a way to auto link all words in a page? [05:25:08] so lets say, if I set a word "ABC" to link to an ABC page, are there any automated mechanisms where the editor would search for all instances of "ABC" and link them accordingly? [10:19:31] hello. I am trying to get properties from a list of pages. i.e. numbers built of Flying boats. I have this query but it doesn't return the properties or page conent: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=categorymembers&gcmtitle=Category:Flying_boats&gcmlimit=500&prop=pageprops [10:20:32] is there any way to get the "Numbers built" field? e.g. 49 for this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savoia-Marchetti_SM.78 [10:27:32] that's not a page property, but a parameter value of a template used on this page. Unfortunately, that data is not stored structured anywhere, so there's no way to retrieve only that, you'll need to parse the wikitext to find that template parameter and extract the value [10:29:28] the text of those pages can be obtained with prop=revisions, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=categorymembers&gcmtitle=Category:Flying_boats&gcmlimit=500&prop=revisions&rvprop=content [10:41:01] are there ways for visual editor to support embedding from 3rd party video sites? [10:50:28] slush__: MediaWiki should first support such embedding. VisualEditor is only for editing. If you have an extension providing that, it needs to also provide a widget for Visual Editor to support it [10:57:03] thanks Vulpix [10:58:02] is there a way to easily define widgets in VE? [11:00:33] @Vulpix: thanks, I'll do that [11:02:08] @Vulpix: is there an initiative to make such data query-able? Then you could generate list pages programatically (e.g. planes built after 1930), link to data in one place etc. [11:02:25] slush__: I don't know, there seems to be a guide at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Gadgets [11:03:07] arminrosu: yes, that's wikidata's project, a lot of pages on wikipedia have already migrated such attributes to wikidata [11:03:09] !wikidata [11:03:10] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata [11:04:17] @Vulpix: awesome, I'll dig right into that. Thanks for all your help! [11:08:21] thanks Vulpix [11:09:34] yw [11:25:44] Hi, I’m trying to write an authentication module (PrimaryAuthenticationProvider if I understand correctly) that would use XMPP to actually authenticate the user, and I’m looking for examples doing something similar; I won’t need any kind of password field, only an email-like field that will then be passed to another script I already have which will return 200 or 401 after a while, depending on the user accepting the login [11:25:44] . [11:27:42] I’d like to hide the normal username/password field to most users, but to keep it for admins and such (who should still be able to login from XMPP, just having this as an additional safety measure if my authentication module somehow starts failing). [13:41:50] I've previosuly had a mediawiki installed and it worked perfect. I now did a backup of all files and upgraded mediawiki, put back all config files and database, etc. This was made at the same time as I was moving the data from one server to another. Now when I try and access my mediawiki page I only see a white page. I am using nginx and I have other vhosts running fine here. Anyone got an idea of what [13:41:51] could have happened? [13:44:05] most likely it is a php error [13:45:13] !blank [13:45:13] A blank page or HTTP 500 error usually indicates a fatal PHP error. For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see . [13:45:14] slush__: great, that at least narrows it down to where I should start looking. I am running php_7.0-fpm [13:45:22] MatmaRex: cheerios [17:44:14] Hello. A file appears in UnusedFiles even though it is used in a page (https://aman.info.tm/wiki/Old#Food_Items https://aman.info.tm/wiki/File:Chicklets.gif). Could this be because it was uploaded with MsUpload? [17:49:42] Reception|away: the contents of UnusedFiles is cached, you may need to run https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:UpdateSpecialPages.php to regenerate it [17:50:00] Vuplix: thank you. Will do. [17:51:58] Vulpix: I ran it and there is no change. https://amaninfo.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:UnusedFiles [17:52:36] well, https://aman.info.tm/wiki/File:Chicklets.gif doesn't track it as being used on a page, strange... [17:53:05] maybe it was a problem when saving the edit, try a null edit on the page [17:54:07] Ok. My guess is because it was uploaded with MsUpload extension [17:55:27] it should not matter, unless MSUpload automatically places the image on the page (which I don't know) [17:56:25] All settings are here: https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/blob/master/LocalSettings.php [17:56:29] this is really werid.. [17:56:37] I don't know what else can fix this issue. [17:56:45] have you null-edited the page? [17:57:59] yes, i tried. still the same [17:58:32] jobs may be failing to update the whatlinkshere page, but it doesn't seem to be the case since there seems to be 0 pending jobs: https://aman.info.tm/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics [18:00:09] Reception|away: I've just null-edited the page and it now displays the page in Special:Whatlinkshere: https://aman.info.tm/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Chicklets.gif [18:00:12] We did have a jobs issue before, but that was fixed for sure and I verified on another wiki and there's nothing wrong there. [18:00:33] how did you do the null-edit... or where? [18:00:52] Well I wasn't sure what "null-edit" meant, I thought it just meant a random edit on the page, what did you do? [18:01:26] hit edit, and then hit save, without touching anything [18:01:40] i did that and it didn't do anything. [18:01:49] So should I try that for the other pages? [18:02:27] yes [18:02:35] Tried doing that with https://aman.info.tm/wiki/File:DNS_Server_Zone.gif and nothing happened/ [18:03:20] that shouldn't be needed normally, but since those pages seem to be imported, who knows... [18:03:52] Yes but how come it doesn't work for this page? Does it take time to change? [18:04:09] Anyways thanks for the help. [18:04:19] on what page it's being used? [23:18:36] ALVARO MOLINA..
