[03:41:56] Hi. As part of my work on my "GitAccess" extension, I found I needed a method to get a page name at a certain revision (currently that information is only available in the logging table). So I wrote a little add-on method to the Revision class: https://gist.github.com/MTres19/9872370bc3525fa9b8e7b23388b32ea2 [03:42:13] Comments? Should I try to have this mainlined? [08:00:38] hi [08:01:54] which extension allows to manage user rights (like creation of new rights) and namespace visibility from the mw installation itself [08:02:39] like if we cant go to localsettings.php and we need to do it from wiki. I guess maybe MaintenanceShell can do something like that right? any other ideas? [08:22:21] Juandev: you will need to edit localsettings to install any new extensions anyway… [08:42:24] p858snake: I know anyway, but this is to reduce the need of the use of IT guy [08:52:38] Juandev: there's an extension called Configuration, which probably could do that once upon a time, but i have no idea if it still works, and the whole thing is questionable security-wise [08:52:50] (as usual, it's a tradeoff between security and convenience) [08:52:54] !e Configuration [08:52:54] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Configuration [08:55:04] MatmaRex: I will have a look [08:55:24] well even for maintanenceshell you should have a special user right [17:09:31] Hey guys I need to know whether or not you can delete users from mediawiki. [17:10:09] You can, it's just not reccommended generally [17:10:48] I just had reset my wiki because of massive problems with bots and users and pages being created. Before I could turn off user account registration and disable page creation [17:10:59] more users and 5 more pages managed to get created. [17:11:11] Last time i had like 2800 things happen over 4 days but this time, its just a few seconds. [17:11:28] I'd like to delete them if i could [17:11:53] i'll nuke their contribs, and delete them. Can you point me towards the right instructions? [17:17:43] !nuke [17:17:43] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke [17:18:28] Adelia: That ^ should help with deleting pages. [17:22:09] the pages were only 5 of them , i just wanted to delete the 17 accounts that aren't real [17:22:44] make my user list nice and real, we only have a few users we need to have on the list period. I guess i just Mysql my way into there and have at it =P [17:32:51] Adelia: I think you can block them but not delete them. Special:BlockIP [17:33:16] Or you can use UserMerge extension to merge all the spam accounts into one and then block it. [17:33:20] !e UserMerge [17:33:20] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge [17:59:10] I have pages and categories. In a page I set [[Category:Names]]. This page appears in a list in Category:Names. [17:59:38] Is it possible to add something to the page, so to affect the formatting of its line in the list in Category? [18:00:35] So to say, simple [[Category:Names]] adds the page name in regular font, and some other trick adds it in italics, or with some icon beside, or with some other mark... [18:01:09] The idea is, if we have Category:Names with names in it, to show two types of names. Names of one kind and names of other kind. [18:38:28] <_TWS> visualeditor doesn't seem to be pulling from template templatedata. What can I look at for troubleshooting this?
