[09:17:25] Hi all. I've been trying to modify the signatures for my mediawiki site. The timestamp generated has no class or id to it. How do I set it? Or more precisely, which file has the class that generates the

timestamp

part? [09:32:04] Is this a bad time to ask? [09:57:47] TridenRake: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/master/includes/parser/Parser.php;a2cc0fd34738b6934944cef4324a297224b54ad2$4477 [09:59:13] Thanks Prateek. [10:07:38] And, I just commented out the line ($this->register( include "$IP/resources/ResourcesOOUI.php" );) in ResourceLoader.php to get rid of OO-UI. Is that enough to stop the OOUI resources from being loaded? prtksxna , how do I remove it completely? [10:08:29] Apologies to direct the question to you. You are the only one active in this timezone. [10:13:16] TridenRake: I'll have to look, just a second [10:13:36] TridenRake: You are aware that a bunch of things depend on OOUI now? Some special pages etc [10:14:48] Yeah.. I am seeing that few stuff are broken now. But the dependency goes as far as the UI only right? I'm working on a custom skin, and thus the curiosity. :) [10:16:33] TridenRake: Your skin could probably benefit from OOUI. Its a widget library that gives you some stuff out of the box - https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/ [10:17:13] TridenRake: And then there are mw specific widgets too, like https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/ [10:17:18] oops https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#!/api/mw.widgets.CategorySelector [10:19:17] TridenRake: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOjs_UI might be a good place to start if you're interested :) [10:20:37] prtksxna, Wow! Thank you for the link. I do love the OOUI. But the wiki I am working on is a simple one and I'd like to keep things to the bare essentials. Looking for a way to load less resource as possible. Is there a way to do that? [10:21:18] Just because OOUI modules are registered, doesn't mean they're loaded [10:21:23] /served [10:21:32] TridenRake: Removing it will break things. But you don't have to worry about the loading where they arent needed [10:22:18] what reedy said :) [10:24:27] Yeah, I totally get it. But I still would like to have a MW installation without OOUI. It's a pure subjective thought to be honest. :) [10:24:56] It'd probably be better to modify HTMLForm to always use non-ooui mode then [10:25:09] that'd take care of a significant number of the cases [10:25:26] could also break things (maybe) but probably less chance [10:35:36] Thank you bawolff. [13:28:54] Hey! [13:29:48] Can anyone help on how to start contributing to the wiki.(Using phabricator,Mediawiki localhost) [13:34:10] anyone [14:55:39] satya_1612: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker [19:59:06] How am I supposed to debug this: http://imgur.com/a/eVFdQ [19:59:24] I'm trying to use wikipedia templates in my wiki [20:00:00] I think I may have forgot to install something when I installed media wiki, like a programming language or something. [20:04:41] FrogCast: parser functions extension [20:06:14] Nemo_bis, so google media wiki parser functions extention? :] [20:06:52] !e ParserFunctions [20:06:52] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions [20:09:28] MatmaRex, Nemo_bis its already installed [20:10:35] if you're still seeing that, then it clearly isn't [20:11:34] FrogCast: what do you see in Special:Version? [20:11:42] MatmaRex hmmmmm [20:12:18] MediaWiki 1.27.1 [20:12:18] PHP 7.0.13-0ubuntu0.16.10.1 (apache2handler) [20:12:19] MySQL 5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.10.1 [20:12:19] ICU 57.1 [20:12:19] Lua 5.1.5 [20:12:59] that is the software. Extensions or libraries? [20:14:07] libraries, if you please [20:14:51] Nemo_bis, nvm, local config [20:15:06] uh https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Inflation-year&action=edit [20:15:12] !cookie | MatmaRex, Nemo_bis [20:15:12] MatmaRex, Nemo_bis: To enable cookies for popular browsers, see [20:15:31] ?:D [20:15:32] lol [20:16:07] sorry, i'm busy [20:16:32] MatmaRex, no no, you solved my problem. Enjoy the cookies. [20:16:37] oh, yay [20:17:11] \o/ Alright back to work [20:19:14] * Nemo_bis stored the cookie away for breakfast and goes brush teeth [21:49:55] Hi all. Are there any GUI based config tools for mediawiki? A bit like phpbb? [21:50:22] !e Configure | Thorax [21:50:23] Thorax: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Configure_ [21:50:31] although that may be no longer up to date [21:50:35] There's the Configure extension, but it's not very well maintained [21:50:43] the installer is a GUI, though [21:50:56] and most actions are done through the web interface [21:51:54] I'll tell you what I need. I want to enable user registration, and the ability to add certain users to a group, only this group should be able to edit [21:54:52] In my localsettings.php I have $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; [21:54:52] and $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; [21:59:30] Thorax: pretty sure we have an example somewhere that does just that [21:59:32] !access [21:59:32] For information on customizing user access, see . For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see . [21:59:37] (no GUI tools i know of, though) [22:01:18] Ahh cool, thanks MatmaRex [22:04:13] Its all a bit confusing though [22:04:19] Whats the * group for? [22:06:26] it just means all users [22:06:37] (including those not logged in) [22:07:27] ahh I see [22:08:29] Im wanting to add a captcha like the one used here. http://en.uesp.net/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page&type=signup Can anyone point me in the irght direction? [22:08:32] right* [22:09:30] Is it confirmedit? [22:12:13] Thorax: yes [22:12:38] That is included in the latest version of Mediawiki yes? [22:13:07] uh, probably [22:13:07] !e ConfirmEdit [22:13:08] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit [22:13:17] that page says it is [22:23:10] So. I have a group called "write". How do I add users to it? [22:23:33] go to special:userrights [22:24:19] Thanks Platonides [22:24:48] !e bureaucrat [22:24:48] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:bureaucrat [22:24:50] :) [22:24:57] ? [22:25:01] Ha, that didnt work. [22:25:02] you don't need an extension [22:25:16] What is the bureaucrat group for? [22:25:21] as whom are you logged in as? [22:25:37] the user you made during the install will have the proper rights [22:25:45] Im logged in as an admin, trying to add a user i just created to a group [22:26:00] The user i created during the install yeah [22:26:19] and what happens when you go to special:userrights ? [22:26:31] I can enter a username [22:26:38] It all seems to be working [22:26:45] I just wondered what that group was for [22:27:06] oh [22:27:20] bureaucrats are those that can change user rights [22:27:30] Ahhh! Very useful! [22:27:32] Thank you [22:27:37] thus, you can have admins able to delete pages, block users, etc. [22:27:42] but not change user permissions [22:28:00] (or make it more fine-grained so they can only change _some_ permissions) [22:28:37] I want certain people to be able to add users to another group [22:29:51] typically you would make those bureaucrats [22:29:54] Hello! Are there any admins here or someone I could quickly get in touch with in charge of content moderation? [22:29:55] but not the others [22:30:05] Terry_: what's up? [22:32:32] Ahh [22:32:36] What is the reply command. [22:32:51] uh… just write in the box below the chat and press enter? [22:33:06] Hi there! One of our users is getting doxxed. Someone used mediawiki to create a wiki targeting them, publishing their name and number, photos, and other sensitive information [22:33:14] Along with a lot of awful harassment and racist crap [22:33:34] Would it be possible for us to get the IP address of the person who created this so that we can ban them from our community, and to get the page removed? [22:38:23] ffs.... I installed media wiki last night and I think I already have my first spambot [22:39:14] Terry_: only if they edited without being logged-in, which I doubt [22:39:32] Would you be able to remove the page at the very least? [22:39:45] Pretty sure it violates your ToS [22:40:12] on what wiki was that? we don't have control over MediaWiki installations in general [22:40:31] Terry_: mediawiki is freely downloadable software, anyone can download it and set up their wiki on their own server [22:40:56] if you see that on wikipedia or something, that's a different thing. but we don't have the ability to control all the random installations out there [22:41:51] Terry_: if they're running an outdated version, you might be able to hack them ;) although mediawiki hasn't had any terrible security vulnerabilities recently. (and no, i won't help) [22:42:23] any admins on? [22:42:32] eweew: sure [22:43:02] mind if you send me a PM? [22:43:08] its a little confidential [22:43:11] no problem [22:43:26] Hi P. [22:45:47] Hi Vulplix, just waiting on your PM [22:46:06] I though you were initiating the PM with me :) [22:46:33] Sorry i'm not sure how to PM on web IRC.. :( [22:47:22] IIRC: /msg nick message [22:47:39] doing '/query Vulpix' should probably open a new tab as well [22:47:55] I'll note something that was said above to someone else though [22:48:16] er, or not? [22:48:25] wb [22:49:08] anyway, MediaWiki is a software package that is freely downloadable, and can be set up by anyone. When you asked for an admin here, we expect that your issue lies with the wiki at www.mediawiki.org and not some wiki installed on some other site -- we generally cannot assist with those [22:49:23] if it's another wiki run by the Wikimedia Foundation, we can point you where you can ask though [22:49:59] *we generally cannot assist with admin functions on other wikis, we can try to assist with other issues though if they're software related :) [22:52:02] Ser_: are you still waiting for someone to PM you? [23:12:37] Hi all. Can anyone suggest a visual editor? [23:12:52] there's Extension:VisualEditor [23:12:56] it's a bit of a pain to set up though [23:13:01] !e VisualEditor | Thorax [23:13:01] Thorax: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor_ [23:13:06] er [23:13:09] * Skizzerz slaps wm-bot [23:13:21] link still works though [23:14:44] Skizzerz, Thats what I was looking at. Not on the same page though.... [23:14:51] Wow it looks complicated to set up [23:15:07] there's the extension itself, and you'll need to install Parsoid as a separate service [23:15:25] if you're on debian/ubuntu there's an apt repo you can add and get going [23:19:54] I think I'll leave it for now [23:20:09] My wiki is rather slow to load pages and save edits
