[06:54:20] Hey everyone, I would like to contribute to mediawiki codebase but I kind of seem lost, I have a XAMPP setup and the source code from the github mirror available. Could someone guide me through the next steps [08:40:06] Hello? [08:43:06] hello [08:43:14] Can you hear me? [08:46:10] !ask | nemanja [08:46:10] nemanja: 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. :) [08:52:39] hallo [08:52:59] !ask | p858snake|_ [08:53:00] p858snake|_: 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. :) [08:53:34] How can i contact admin to remove flag, warning from my article? [08:55:02] nemanja: this channel is for the MediaWiki package, you will need to contact the individual wiki installs if you have issues with their content [09:00:02] I would but their IRC channels,aka admins of pages are inactive [09:05:49] nemanja: we don't have some super key to break into 3rd party wikis, sorry :) [09:06:57] To bad that some wikis have like less than 300.000 articles, and just few Admins, who are never active on IRC or wiki itself [09:30:05] nemanja: oh, you're talking about some Wikimedia wiki? [09:30:11] that wasn't clear [09:30:23] yes [09:30:27] sr.wikipedia.org [09:31:00] still, local admins are the ones to contact... [10:32:02] yo [10:33:01] just found a rce on a wiki subs [10:33:05] *sub [11:25:50] hi, i get this error message "- Could not find gem 'mediawiki-vagrant (= 0.14.0)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine." [11:26:18] due ./setup.sh in a fresh mediawiki vagrant clone [11:26:49] i am using ubuntu 16.04 [11:35:01] hi, i get this error message "- Could not find gem 'mediawiki-vagrant (= 0.14.0)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine." [11:35:01] due ./setup.sh in a fresh mediawiki vagrant clone [11:35:02] i am using ubuntu 16.04 [12:08:41] c? I cannot sending to you a mp [14:20:47] leave [14:20:54] anyone on? [14:21:24] leave() [14:54:28] Hello people [14:54:36] Got a hard question I think :P [14:54:51] Im using this syntax: ;Test :SomeTestDescription [14:54:57] to create a glossary [14:55:54] Now I wanted to add an attribute to the generated HTML [14:56:00] I did that by hooking into function getFullDefinitionAsTooltip [14:56:05] and adding $spanTerm->setAttribute('id', $this->mDefinitions[0][0]); [14:56:33] Now the content inside the generated

has the id attribute, which is correct [14:56:43] but the content inside the generated

has the id attribute too which is incorrect [14:56:45] How can I solve that? :O [14:57:42] You can create an extension with a new syntax to parse, to offer a glossary, with as output the code you want. [14:57:48] [14:57:58] (then the code in the format the more logical you think) [14:58:00] [14:59:19] So I cannt solve this by using the standard extension [14:59:21] "Lingo" [14:59:22] You need to cehck if it's still a best practice, it's possible this "tag" syntax is deprecated in favour of {{#glossary:something}}, but it's probably more clean tags in your case. [14:59:25] (LingoParser.php) [14:59:44] ah you're alreadying using an extension ok [15:00:13] Yea thats some default extension from mediawiki [15:00:19] suggest to the extension authors to implement your id solution, it's a probably standard and a good idea [15:00:20] To create such a list I guess [15:00:32] Yea but I gotta implemen tit now. [15:00:33] :D [15:00:34] implement it* [15:00:45] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=MediaWiki-extensions-Lingo [15:00:52] ok [15:01:02] But this is obviously not as standard mediawiki feature as i thought [15:01:02] ^^ [15:01:10] I thought everybody uses that. [15:01:14] (lingo isn't standard) [15:01:17] Oh ok [15:01:19] (I discovered it today) [15:01:21] I didnt set this up, im pretty new to this stuff [15:01:33] Just looking through the code and thinking wow this is bad [15:01:33] xd [15:01:40] in what file did you edit the code as described abovez? [15:01:45] Sec [15:02:03] Element.php [15:02:18] Lingo/src/Element.php [15:03:50] getFullDefinitionAsTooltip [15:03:55] that function [15:04:34] you should apply the id to the dt, instead of the span inside, shouldn't you? [15:04:39] Exactly [15:04:50] But the dt is created somewhere else. [15:04:53] And I dont know where at all [15:05:11] Something like

foo: metasyntaxical variable

would be more expected. [15:05:20] yea that would be a good solution [15:05:25] But I dont rly know where it creates the dt [15:05:36] theres no createElement('dt') atleast [15:08:07] I think the ; and : is standard syntax from mediawiki to create dl and dt and dd tags [15:08:07] probably in Tree.php [15:08:13] oh [15:08:15] and the lingo extension generates the span [15:08:17] ok [15:08:22] that would make sense [15:08:27] with the tooltip [15:08:45] okay so Tree is only internal to know what definitions are [15:08:51] Think so. [15:08:51] and not used for rendering purpose [15:38:10] Can i use umlauts in an id tag in mediawiki [15:38:10] :d [15:38:29] What is an "id tag"? [15:39:04] Wow I got kicked out [15:39:09] If you wrote something - again please. [15:39:11] What is an "id tag"? [15:39:15] [15:39:30] no, you can't [15:39:30] In which situations do you manually set id tags? [15:39:40] I have to set an anchor. [15:39:46] ah. [15:39:47] So people from other pages can link to an article directly. [15:39:54] The is disallowed in mediawiki [15:40:06] It recommends to use but I cannot use umlauts there so im basically trolled 4 life. [15:40:12] Vulpix: thanks [15:40:21] Vulpix: Is there any workaround to make it work tho? :D [15:40:25] Xatenev: but you can use {{anchorencode:}} https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#anchorencode [15:40:32] So when the url has #testäö it goes to #testaeoe [15:40:58] that works better if you use a template for that [15:40:59] Vulpix: That is exactly what happens right now. [15:41:09] tbh that's a bug now that we emit HTML 5 [15:41:17] When I type in [15:41:23] it generates C3.A1 or something like that. [15:41:34] umlauts are allowable characters in HTML ids now [15:41:54] Skizzerz: is there some fast core hack to make it work with umlauts? [15:41:58] so it doesnt anchorencode the ids [15:41:58] that's consistent if you reference this anchor from wikicode like [[#ä]] [15:42:01] Or would that break important stuff? [15:42:17] But I dont reference it from wikicode [15:42:19] Xatenev: probably, would need to dig to find it [15:42:24] I reference it from another external page [15:42:31] That i have no control over [15:43:14] And it links like myPage#Ä [15:43:43] I rly need some fast core hack or anything like that for this ://^^ [15:43:59] I will search maybe i find something [15:44:55] unicode adoption hasn't been fast... even python needs special syntax to deal with unicode characters... [15:45:39] some devs probably don't know there are more characters beyond ASCII :) [15:48:49] I solved it i think [15:48:51] but maybe i break the half page [15:48:52] xD [15:49:04] Nevermind i didnt solve it [15:51:49] Xatenev: you don't need to edit core at all [15:51:54] How do I solve it then :( [15:52:00] set $wgExperimentalHtmlIds = true; in your LocalSettings.php [15:52:22] THANKS [15:52:24] so easy [15:53:02] thanks a lot mate [15:57:30] jdlrobson: Hey, what else this patch needs in order to be merged? https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/307077/ [15:57:49] If you have some time, it would be fantastic [15:57:58] Amir1: plan it to a review hour [15:58:10] hmm [15:58:22] I completely forgot about code review hours [16:27:18] oh wow, enwiki uca is actually happening [17:22:53] bawolff: It's almost 30% done. :) [17:23:09] Niharika: I was just looking. Seems to be in the C's [17:23:48] bawolff: There are supposed to be ~100 mil rows and it's done about 30 mil. How did you find out that it's in the C's? [17:24:04] By looking at categories? [17:24:20] yeah [17:24:22] select cl_from, cl_to, cl_type, cl_collation from categorylinks where cl_to like "Cu%" limit 10; [17:24:28] gives a bunch of things with uppercase [17:24:33] but Co has the new collation [17:25:13] Nice. [17:25:20] The numbers seem a bit weird. [17:25:30] It's in the Cs and it's already done 30 mil. [17:25:39] And there are 100 mil. [17:25:57] I guess a lot of misc stuff comes before the A's too. [17:26:00] alphabet isn't really evenly distributed though [17:40:53] Niharika: I just checked, there are 30 million entries for letters >= C [17:41:00] err, <= [17:41:59] bawolff: Ah. I guess it includes all of !,#,& etc. [17:42:05] I've been trying to make https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RSS work with Google News feeds, e.g. http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=fr&hl=fr&q=iphone&output=rss but it appears a bit broken. Could that be in Google's end or just that RSS extension a bit buggy? Years ago, I had working RSS feeds but since Google appears unwilling to share XML news feeds, or at least... [17:42:06] ...they're making it as complicated as possible for whatever money making reason. [17:42:27] yeah, but anything with an accent is after Z, so it is kind of surprising [17:42:33] Sorry in case this subject isn't all relevant here. [17:43:04] Tuxedo: Everything involving MediaWiki, including extensions, is relavent here [17:44:10] Ok :-) [17:44:20] That said, I don't know the answer :( [17:47:21] No problem. Anyway, I think the Google feeds may be fixable with some of the template options (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RSS#Templates_for_channel_subelements_and_styling_the_RSS_Feed). [18:29:36] Niharika: woo, we're on to D's [18:29:58] Yay. [18:30:12] I guess it'll finish by Friday or so. [18:30:27] Or maybe not. [18:35:24] I figured out why there are so many rows early in the alphabet [18:35:46] There are a bunch of huge categories starting with the word All (~6 million rows worth [18:38:16] And also about 4 million rows from categories starting with Articles_ [18:44:26] Aha. That makes sense. [19:26:18] hello im having a bit hard time setting up visualeditor and parsoid [19:27:26] though parsoid looks like it is running with in its log [19:28:28] i recieve a error loading data from server: http 200. would you like to retry [20:14:19] I add < span id="welcome" / > to a wiki article at my MediaWiki installation - it works. [20:14:36] At Wikipedia it works fine. On my MediaWiki it doesn't. [20:16:00] wikipedia uses tidy, most other mediawiki installs don't. Might be related to that [20:16:07] I'd also ask, what are you expecting it to do? [20:16:15] Are you just using it as a link target? [20:22:29] I have an article with a lot of local refs (#like_this sorry I forgot correct name of them), like this page: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy [20:24:06] Can you link to your wiki? [20:25:54] http://autowiki.xyz/wiki/Autowiki:Privacy_policy [20:28:28] Well I'll try to play with tidy. [20:30:39]
