[00:03:24] Umm [00:03:26] fatal: internal server error [00:03:31] when I do git pull... [00:04:30] ostriches: --^ [00:04:53] bawolff: `git prune remote {origin,gerrit}` [00:05:01] Or just origin, if you don't use the gerrit remote. [00:05:19] bawolff: welcome to our weekend ;) [00:11:08] https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gryllida/common.js mw.config is not a function -- what did i forget to load?... https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript#mw.config does not say :-( [00:12:20] gry: mw.config.get() [00:12:26] ooh thanks [00:21:18] ostriches: You mean `git remote prune origin` right? :-) [00:21:29] Yes, that'w what I meant [00:40:00] :( objects are hard https://jsfiddle.net/b6gq405c/4/ [00:40:05] (in js) [00:41:47] no, scratch that, i 'fixed' it in another case [00:48:48] gry, $.extend() [00:49:07] hmm? [00:49:38] aha, thanks :) [00:55:45] how do i make api.php great again? it used to have everything on one page, so i didn't have to switch my brain on and think about request types [00:56:01] There's a url parameter for that [00:56:12] i.e. which action to perform [00:56:13] documented in the api help page btw [00:56:49] https://test.wikipedia.org/w/api.php doesn't mention it, i'll attempt looking at mw.org for more info [00:58:07] It should be mentioned on that help page [00:58:15] i attempted to skim https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page and it doesn't seem to mention it either [00:58:19] ok [00:58:38] it's a change. it is supposed to be mentioned somewhere close to the top :-/ [00:58:42] ok, its kind of hidden, under examples [00:59:52] ok, thanks, that's working and looks a bit more useful now that it has links now. it only had non-htmlized stuff before. thanks :) [01:04:53] With SUL finalization, does this mean everyone has a central account and there are no more unattached accounts? [01:05:52] ...barring some bugs [01:06:16] Do any of you know how to be a User Helper? [01:08:03] tgr: So, if we don't have any more unattached accounts, does that mean we can set the localPasswordLoginPrimaryAuthenticator/whatever its called, to be loginOnly, with no ill effects? [01:08:05] Wrong channel, Sorry [01:23:09] bawolff: as far as I can see, yes, but we have plenty [01:23:39] tgr: I thought in theory, SUL finalization was supposed to kill all those [01:25:03] * bawolff not sure of an easy way to query unattached accounts [01:26:01] Well I guess the obvious way is to join on the table [01:26:06] that query will probably be super slow [01:26:22] bawolff: https://phab.wmfusercontent.org/file/data/ckjk77h66vjpygkiznr7/PHID-FILE-7x5yrblfmxhkyiqfwcys/T141160-unattached-users.txt [01:26:51] ignore the ones from 201607, that was a bug that got fixed [01:27:49] the query assumed that everyone is at least in centralauth.localnames [01:28:40] mostly system accounts and such, and loginOnly probably wouldn't hurt them [01:28:56] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Lindamolli [01:29:06] Looks unified (unless I'm missing something) [01:29:13] oh [01:29:19] * bawolff can't read [01:30:38] There are a couple that look like real users [01:31:05] Why didn't these get renamed during SUL finalisation? [01:32:16] possibly they did but got unattached later [01:32:44] also, some of these might be dangling accounts where a SUL user does exist [01:33:16] since the password is the same the only user-visible effect would be that login does not transfer to certain wikis [01:33:46] Hmm, maybe we could just do loginOnly anyways [01:33:59] Since that seems much more elegant than adding a random hook there [01:34:01] see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/321602 [01:35:50] thanks [02:00:40] Hi guys, I'm visiting from google code-in. I'm a junior at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Tech. [02:04:33] Hi. :O [02:05:11] How active is this channel generally? [02:05:29] Reasonably. It tends to die off into the night time. [02:06:03] Ah ok. Cool. [02:49:13] hello everyone! I'm Shardul Chiplunkar, a GCI student doing the IRC task for Wikimedia [02:50:10] Hi. :) [02:51:26] sup [02:51:38] hello gry, naitian [04:57:14] can someone recomend me a way to bulk edit pages [04:57:26] that works for all namespaces ? [05:02:11] define bulk edit [05:08:11] hey guys this is Vishrut Jaipuria [05:16:07] kim_bruning, you mean Extension:MassEditRegex [05:16:08] ?? [05:44:55] Hello? [05:46:30] hey [06:05:36] !ask [06:05:36] 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. :) [06:34:20] If anyone has the time could someone please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151843 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151842 [06:34:31] We are trying to upgrade to 1.28 but these two upstream tasks are preventing us from doing so [07:05:57] Reception|away: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Maps/blob/master/INSTALL.md lets me think you also need the most recent version of Maps [07:06:05] see the Platform compatibility [07:06:08] section. [07:09:00] Reception|away: for maps, issues should be reported at https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Maps/issues [07:15:10] Reception|away: for Metrolook we need a branch REL1_28 [07:22:32] Hi [07:25:09] Is anyone even online here??

It essentially determines what was changed, and makes the reverse change; so you can easily undo a vandal edit that is followed by legitimate edits. See .

A safe solution is to block the users, and possibly rename them with . You can also try [09:39:39] !checkuser [09:39:39] CheckUser is an extension that allows privileged users to see what IPs a user edited from or what users edited from an IP.

[09:57:12] (or start to answer questions, or be silent.) [09:57:16] thanks. [09:57:20] You failed to put an link [09:57:43] Try wikis to put that link [09:57:53] Examplelol1, tell us where esactly. [09:57:56] *exactly [09:58:18] Right now nobody knows *where* you failed to put a link. [09:58:29] Provide an URL. [10:00:27] Why is everyone so silent [10:01:25] vishrutjai: errr...?

[10:20:13] gry, hi. what with? [10:20:21] i asked above [10:20:25] bit busy here but if it's quick... [10:20:37] 18<gry18> hi all. how do i retrieve contents of section 0 of a page whose name i know? i check api, i can 'edit' a section 0, but i haven't found how to just view the contents. [10:20:39] 20:50 < gry> hi all. how do i retrieve contents of section 0 of a page whose name i know? i check api, i can 'edit' a section0, but i haven't found how to just view the contents. [i am retrieving just wiki markup, not html] [10:20:43] yes [10:21:10] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor?action=raw§ion=0 [10:21:23] seems to do the trick [10:21:28] can i do the same through api? [10:22:04] https://test.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&recursivesubmodules=1 does not list 'action=raw' for example [10:22:15] hm [10:22:28] yeah that's because action=raw is not an api.php action, it's from index.php [10:22:34] but I think this is what you want [10:22:36] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=VisualEditor&rvprop=content&rvsection=0 [10:24:29] to http://test.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&recursivesubmodules=1 [10:24:40] gry, does that solve it?

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. :) [12:32:08] hello, anyone here who can help me with my own mediawiki project? [12:33:10] im trying to create Graph:Chart [12:36:15] im trying to get this line to work: {{GraphChart|width=400|height=100|xAxisTitle=X|yAxisTitle=Y|type=rect|x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8|y=10, 12, 6, 14, 2, 10, 7, 9}} [12:38:04] has anyone tried doing this sort of stuff before? [12:39:29] what happens? [12:40:27] nothing happens [12:40:33] just blank page [12:42:04] i followed instructions from MediaWiki, but maybe im doing something wrong [12:43:39] i'v installed Graph & JsonConfig -extensions, do i maybe need other extensions beside those two? [12:44:16] oh and btw im running the 1.27.1 version of MediaWiki [12:44:26] hello , I am interested in contributing to mediawiki, can any one mentor me in picking up a right project [12:44:41] hello i am new to mediawiki and am looking to contribute. Can i get any guidance? :) [12:51:47] soumya: Not if you only stay on IRC for four minutes :( [12:52:00] nikhilrayaprolu: What are your interests? :) [12:52:24] heya... I run a mediawiki 1.23.2 with several extensions like SMW, SF, HeaderTabs, and more. Now I'd like to update my installation with as little impact as possible. Which version would you guys recommend? [12:52:26] nikhilrayaprolu: Have you checked https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute already? If you're looking for working on code, also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker [12:53:12] sven^: do you intentionally run an LTS version? If yes, 1.27 is the more recent LTS version [12:53:58] andre__: yes, kind of. I installed in Feb 2012 and don't think it was the most recent version back then [12:54:07] sven^: errr, I am wrong. [12:54:20] but there are several problems I haven't found a fix for, so I need to update. I guess [12:54:31] Sigh. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle is inconsistent. Some parts say 1.27 is an LTS version, some say 1.28 is. [12:54:34] * andre__ grumbles [12:55:50] the point is, I don't want to run into trouble having to edit anything by hand to make it work again after the upgrade, but I think the SMW channel would be a better place for that [13:43:18] Hi [13:51:27] Hi Guest55577 [13:58:58] Hello! [14:00:53] Short question: I'm trying to set a mediawiki instance up on my local PC to play around with it. First step should be installing a local webserver, hosting the mediawiki files there and accessing them with a browser? [14:01:41] Pretty much, yup [14:01:44] !install [14:01:44] Installing MediaWiki takes between 10 and 30 minutes, and involves uploading/copying files and running the installer script to configure the software. Full instructions can be found in the INSTALL file supplied in the distribution archive. An installation manual can also be found at . See also: !download [14:03:08] Ah, thanks :) [14:03:59] Using vagrant might make it easier for you [14:04:01] !vagrant [14:04:01] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Vagrant [14:08:16] Interesting. I'm already shooting for bluespice, I guess I'd have to substitute the installation files in the vagrant package then? [14:10:01] I've downloaded xampp now, gonna try it that way [14:18:19] uh. what do I do if I have upgraded to 1.28, but [[special:version]] still shows the old version, even with action=purge? [14:18:34] That's weird [14:18:56] upgraded = tar xf into a new source tree, copy localsettings.php, images and extensions [14:19:31] Did you point your webserver at the new dir? [14:19:43] and run update.php, though that won't change the version [14:23:57] Reedy: oops. no :3 thanks for the hint. there was a symlink I have overlooked :D [15:17:06] Hello everyone this is my google code in link [15:18:13] I need to complete my first task and this is it [15:21:52] Heh. :) Welcome gamerguy980!
