[04:36:12] aah a human [04:37:03] I am not sure if this is the right place but I have a problem trying to install SemanticMediaWiki [04:40:38] I am trying to initialise through localsettings with enableSemantics( 'localhost' ); but this causes localsettings to crash. [04:56:46] rontwd: SMW has their own official channel at #semantic-mediawiki [11:03:49] i just want to talk with your authorize management member my mobil no is 9214905962 [12:39:06] hi guys. i need to create a blog for my mediawiki site. any ideas? should i have a wordpress just for the blog? [13:50:13] Ed_WikiRio: I don't know any good solutions for wiki, but WP is kind of monstrous, advice to look at https://ghost.org/ or maybe even Jekyll ;) [13:52:47] btw, interesting question for everyone: is it possible in theory to spoof page existence on-the-fly ? Eg. there is no Template:Test page in wiki, but I'd like to make wiki think it's here and provide it contents in code. Checking "ArticlePageDataAfter" but I am not sure it's a good way to go [13:55:20] Ed_WikiRio is unfortunately no longer connected [13:56:53] The closet I've come to spoofing a page is spoofing IIRC a category list on a test page. I suspect this capability might reqpuire an extension, but I'v spent way less time on the innards than a great many here [14:12:33] Vedmaka: What are you trying to do? [14:30:13] Yvette: I am trying to provide a template with extension without actually creating a template page [16:13:00] andre__: I have gone through this (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker) for installing an extension.I then came across WikiEditor extension from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Comparison_of_extensions_in_distributions. Can you give me some more details about this? [16:13:21] Hi! [16:13:52] I'm looking for the best way to obtain a big dump of HTML files of the wikipedia for a research project [16:14:05] vivek___: No, because your questoin about "some more details" is too vague, and I assume you don't want me to copy and paste the content of that page you linked :) [16:14:11] vivek___: Please read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#Feedback.2C_questions_and_support - thanks [16:14:25] Cbreed: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/ ? [16:14:52] we need an HTML dump [16:15:05] our group planned to use ~ 100 servers of our cluster to crawl the wikipedia with a 10s delay [16:15:42] but using a web crawler is not advised [16:16:24] Cbreed, why does it have to be HTML? [16:16:31] we want to learn a parser by having the matching HTML files to the revisions in the dump, which can be downloaded [16:16:37] using deep learning [16:17:22] so we already have the wiki text files in the dump [16:18:08] Cbreed, just FYI, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps should have mailing list contact info, in case nobody on IRC has a better idea [16:18:30] oh, thank you [16:20:28] we calculated that we could obtain 100.000 files with our cluster in 3 hours. and starting our script is a matter of one day I think. And I don't want that our research group is responsible that our university can not access wikipedia any more :P [16:21:27] does anyone know how long it would take to set up a local copy of wikipedia? [16:24:25] andre__: I meant to ask you that can I download the WikiEditor extension in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Comparison_of_extensions_in_distributions ? [17:06:05] vivek___: Why do you look at that ancient outdated page? :) [17:06:30] vivek___: You can download any extension. So I don't understand what your question is. [17:10:39] Okay.I saw many extensions in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Comparison_of_extensions_in_distributions and I just randomly chose the WikiEditor. [17:10:59] vivek___, "choose" for what? [17:11:25] WikiEditor extension [17:11:48] vivek___: You can download any extension. [17:11:56] vivek___, but for what reason did you initially go to that ancient outdated wikipage? [17:21:56] I followed the steps instructed in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide. [17:27:19] andre__: Now I came to know about some active extensions in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version.Will it be better for me to choose the extensions in this page? [17:35:10] vivek___, as I do not know what you want to achieve, I do not know what will "be better for you". [17:36:36] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide does not link against https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Comparison_of_extensions_in_distributions so I still have no idea how you ended up on that ancient outdated page, but I'll give up asking now [17:38:15] there were only 2 links to that page, in Category:Extensions and Manual:Extensions, that I've removed now https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Comparison_of_extensions_in_distributions [17:38:26] andre__: I wanted to proceed with WikiEditor extension but since you said that it is an outdated one I became confused. :) [17:38:41] vivek___, I never said that. [17:38:59] Please read again what I wrote. Or quote the exact line where I said that, please. [17:42:09] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/D2VgABJn/ [17:43:05] vivek___, Yes. I enever said that the extension is outdated. [17:43:24] I said that https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Comparison_of_extensions_in_distributions is outdated and useless. [17:44:18] andre__: Oh sorry. :) [17:44:42] andre__: cool:) [18:08:00] andre__: I installed WikiEditor extension as said in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions. How should I start working with it. As said in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions I edited the LocalSettings.Php page by adding the codes given it. [18:08:55] vivek___, I am not sure why you ask me personally... :) [18:08:58] vivek___, what exactly means "work with it"? [18:09:18] vivek___, is the extension's toolbar displayed when you edit a page on your wiki, or not? [20:59:09] ___ ___ [22:29:59] Hi there! I’m Sangam. [22:31:00] I’m getting some trouble in installation of MediaWiki 1.29 [22:32:14] I’ve already installed the composer [22:34:38] ksangamcse: You need to provide more details. What's the error? I'd suggest you try doing the vagrant install which is much quicker and way less hassles. [22:58:47] Niharika: Thanks. It is successfully installed now.
