[01:44:46] hi [04:13:33] I just upgraded my wiki to 1.27.1 on my Debian Jessie machine. Now when I try to login it errors out with "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again." [04:14:12] Is there some session setting I need to know about? I've reset my password from the command line. [04:37:07] kdog: Did you run update.php after upgrading? [04:37:13] Or during, I guess. [04:37:30] Might be some incompatible cache somewhere? [04:38:02] Yvette, I don't think I did. I did the whole reconfigure thing. [04:38:51] I found it. Adding $wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB; to LocalSettings.php fixed it. Phew! :-) [04:39:34] :-) [04:42:03] I've been using mediawiki for three years now as a personal journal and this was an eye opener as to how much I really use it! [08:08:38] ashley, hi - i've just been looking at every skin the mediawiki site has for distribution and I think your BlueSky one comes to closest to what I need... do you know if it can be set to a variable width? [08:09:47] stevenm: probably not, it hasn't really been under active development in years, sorry [08:11:19] ah ok... what might you pick (if you're aware of any) if you wanted variable width and also drop down category links at the top? [08:14:09] I'd suggest looking at some of the skins I've enabled on http://social-tools.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page (it's a testing wiki, feel free to sign up although you won't be able to edit anything until I've given you edit rights; it's a cheap anti-spam measure) but Refreshed might do the trick -- it's responsive and has a top bar that is editable [10:00:30] Is there a way to force all pages to be a member of at least one category? i.e. prevent saving unless it is [10:26:26] stevenm: Which problem would that solve? [10:27:50] andre__, a problem where people forget to set a category [10:28:06] stevenm: Why do you want people to always set a category? [10:28:17] To prevent orphaned pages [10:29:00] Why do you think that setting a category prevents orphaned pages? Do all of your users only browse pages via categories? [10:29:08] Exactly [10:29:22] So if we're done with questions about my question... any answers? [10:31:01] http://serverfault.com/questions/267891/mediawiki-default-category probably comes closest. [10:33:37] Hmm yeah saw that page earlier [10:43:51] hmm - why on earth package extensions labelled as for REL_1.27 which needs extension registration - when the extension in question doesn't do that? [11:42:31] gday from sydney australia [11:42:56] gday from sydney australia [11:44:19] i am looking for guidance in setting up mediawiki on google cloud through bitnami [14:52:51] Is What's the best way to use the API for fetching a table on a wikipedia page? [14:58:44] A table? [14:59:33] do you want it as wikitext? parsed html? [15:06:04] Reedy: Ideally, Json. I'm gonna tear it apart in my PHP app. [15:06:21] Niharika: Json, as in, structured data? [15:06:36] Yes. [15:07:14] The MW api itself cannot do that, other than giving you it wrapped in a json object [15:07:55] Reedy: That'd be action=parse&format=json? [15:08:06] You don't have to have it parsed, if you don't want [15:08:12] you can just get the content from a revision [15:09:01] Okay. Thanks. [18:35:46] Hello, [18:36:26] I have an issue on my wiki were Special:MyLanguage redirects to a cached version of someone else's session of the article [18:36:38] where* [18:37:49] the language it picks is also based on someone else's session and unrelated to what I've set as site language [18:56:07] bump [21:33:13] Hello all! [21:34:06] Could somebody tell me about this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prev2.png [21:35:06] is this current anywhere on any wiki? [21:37:07] hello [21:37:32] Nesmir: that looks like FlaggedRevs interface. i don't know if it's currently configured in this particular way anywhere. [21:37:34] !e FlaggedRevs [21:37:34] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs [21:38:21] I saw a similar picture here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:FlaggedRevs [21:39:13] The 'real' question being: is that the full-package that would normally be installed to a wiki? [21:41:56] Some of us at the wikipedia in croatian language (hr.wiki) discuss about installing that extension over there on hr.wiki. [21:42:21] Nesmir: FlaggedRevs has a ridiculous number of configuration options, and it will look different pretty much on every wiki that installs it [21:43:26] Nesmir: i'm not familiar with all of them. on pl.wikipedia, we have it configured so that there's just one button to make a page as "reviewed". [21:43:35] to mark a page* [21:43:44] and the question arose, whether an user with editor privileges (user group editor) and user with reviewer privileges can mark only one scale, but leave the other two unmarked. [21:44:06] we plan to use all three scales. [21:44:50] and leave up to the users to mark just one of them, or two of them or all of them (scales) [21:46:43] yeah, it can be configured this way. you can even configure who has the permission to give each level on each scale. [21:47:15] wow, nice to hear that, I'm very glad to hear it. [21:48:00] so, I's like dream come true, hurray [21:48:45] Thanks MatmaRex, thanks a lot, really, nobody could tell me such good news, and fullproof info. [21:49:12] I asked on #wikipedia-de, #wikipedia-he, and #wikipedia-fi nobody knew. [21:51:38] :) [21:51:50] mobrovac: buy this user a beverage of some sort. I'll reimburse! :)
