[04:21:04] I just bulk added a Category tag to ~150 pages using the MassEditRegex extension. The tag was added, but the pages aren't showing up on the category page. [04:23:32] When I click through from one of the edited pages, the category page sometimes adds one of the pages (not the one I clicked through, just a random one). [04:24:35] Does anyone have any experience with that extension? Does it take awhile to work? Can I do anything to get the "pages in category" to show all of the pages? [04:28:36] and while every couple of click-throughs from a page adds a random page to the list, it isn't slowly populating the list in the background, because refreshing doesn't add anything [04:32:44] boblamont1: is your job queue configured and set up? [04:43:10] logoktm Honestly, I don't know. I looked at the manual for it, but the wiki is on shared hosting and I'm not sure I have sufficient access to run the commands. [04:49:51] legoktm: ^ [05:06:59] I logged into SSH and am running RunJobs. Um... was that the right thing to do? [05:09:08] It worked anyway. As soon as it finished running, all the pages showed up on the category page. [05:09:46] Question: does this mean the job queue is set up correctly or not (was it supposed to do this automatically?) [05:25:15] legoktm: thank you for bringing up the job queue. It gave me something to work with to get it updated. Now it's on to the next 175. [06:52:35] mediawiki and wikipedia shar ethe same account authentication gateway> [06:56:28] slushpuppy: mediawiki, as in the Mediawiki Wiki, or the Mediawiki platform? [06:57:12] Is there any way to batch prepend some text to a group of pages? Not namespaces, but just a common string inserted before a group of names (preferably by category)? [06:57:17] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki [06:57:39] I am just trying to create an account, and it says my account exists with en.wikipedia.org ;d [06:59:47] slushpuppy: yes, They are part of the Wikimedia Foundations single login platform [07:25:45] ok ty p858snake|L2 [07:26:09] are there any standing rules regarding page creation p858snake|L2? [07:26:26] what are you creating pages for? [07:28:41] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:FASummary&action=edit&redlink=1 [07:29:05] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BedellPenDragon <-- I am trying to include the templates for that extension [07:30:48] Warning: You are recreating a page that was previously deleted. [07:30:48] You should consider whether it is appropriate to continue editing this page. The deletion and move log for this page are provided here for convenience: [07:31:03] so I am wondering if I would break any rules if i recreated that page [07:33:44] I am pretty sure u guys got some rule page, but this is the first time i am doing anything on MW [07:54:58] slushpuppy: recreate it and mention what its for [09:04:12] hello, i'd like to make a mediawiki accessible via tor but also to keep it accessible via normal domain as default [09:04:47] what steps should i make to make it working? (users should login, edit, etc... via tor hidden .onion domain) [09:12:16] My ads aren't showing right in mobile view :( [09:12:18] http://www.powershelladmin.com/wiki/Main_Page [13:53:00] Boo, ads. [14:06:32] Who needs money anyway. There are a few tribes left who do without. They're about to lose their territories/land to industrially-driven deforestation and such. The rest of the world needs money. [14:07:04] They don't have a SSN, no ID, only the name they're known by amongst their peers. [15:31:41] In the WikiEditor extension, is it possible to modify the set of languages that appear under "Special characters"? [15:31:53] Specifically, I want to add Chinese. [15:34:20] Yaron: the characters available there are defined in /resources/src/mediawiki.language/specialcharacters.json in MW core (this is shared with VisualEditor too). i don't think it's configurable, but you could hack that file. [15:34:32] Yaron: or extend /includes/resourceloader/ResourceLoaderSpecialCharacterDataModule.php (which loads that) with some hook to allow customizing it. [15:35:58] MatmaRex: ah, okay - I was hoping there was some config variable or something, but I guess not. [15:36:18] I'll look at those files; thanks. [15:36:29] you could always submit a patch to add one :) [15:37:54] Do you think that might be worthwhile? Or are there no other languages/alphabets that would be easy to add? [15:49:33] Yaron: chinese? doesn't it have thousand of characters? [16:11:18] Nikerabbit: yes... or even tens of thousands. Someone else asked me about the Chinese thing. Maybe there's some subset that can be used? [16:11:47] I have no idea how people enter Chinese characters into a computer. [16:21:16] Yaron: with special tools, usually comes with the operating system [16:28:12] Wikipedia has been hacked, and all the pages now display "We are the borg, resistance is futile". How to fix? [16:36:04] The only attempt so far was for webfonts right? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Fonts_for_Chinese_wikis [21:46:31] hi! [21:47:01] what language can I use in the WikiBanner extension? Does "Your Code Here" imply HTML must be entered? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiBanner [21:49:42] yes, HTML [21:49:55] only HTML MaxSem? [21:50:22] what else? [21:50:39] MaxSem: JS? [21:50:52] [21:51:38] MaxSem: aah got it. Thank you! [23:57:34] I'm using a template that has a field that has a set number of possible entries (about 50). I'd like to add something to the template so that if the field is "X" it will be added to Category:X, if it's "Y" it would be added to Category:Y and so on. I think Parser Functions can do this, but I'm not clear on the proper syntax.
