[02:56:18] I keep getting my contributions deleted [02:56:47] Posted everything with specific quotes, very well noted bibliography [02:57:07] https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Mendelssohn [07:04:38] hi, good afternoon. i tried to fix the issue by myself but i am failing. I have to recover a very old account which I forgot password, but interface says i am "globally banned" so i cant retrieve password. any tips about this? [10:34:36] Hey all. So is there any problem if a wiki simply uses templates on large no of pages without substituting it? Will it affect the MW performance? [10:47:08] no. but if the template is edited, all the pages using it will have to be reparsed, which might take a while. this will be done in the job queue. [10:49:34] Thanks MatmaRex. Another question. Is there a way to disable the subst feature? [11:42:33] hi [11:43:27] Is there a way to give a wiki page an alternative name which I can access with a url? [11:45:45] fu86: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Page_name [11:49:40] tale: Not sure how to do this without creating a link on a other page ... [12:00:18] fu86: Is this what you mean: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Redirects [12:32:25] Another question. Is there a way to disable the subst feature? [12:36:57] Probably no [12:36:59] t [14:51:59] afternoon guys [14:52:56] I am here because am after some instructions to add a newly created active directory group to mediawiki access file. Searched high and low on the net, and could not find an answer, so now i am here [14:53:09] Has someone done this before?? If so, please point me in the direction of the correct steps [15:00:48] hi [15:01:33] it is possible to search through wiki in raw mode? [15:02:49] carltonb: LDAP? [15:03:03] cronolio: What do you mean? [15:04:13] non-rendered view to find some html tag for example [15:06:21] You could do that with a database query, at least [15:07:30] wiki not mine :) [15:08:42] maybe api query something can. you know ? [15:09:27] You could pull all the page texts, and do it locally [15:09:53] I don't know how the searches actually work then [15:11:25] Reedy: active directory. I have been given a group name such as corp.internal/Security-Group/WebSite/G-IST-Scientia-Wiki [15:11:44] carltonb: No, my answer was, you'll probably have to use LDAP to talk to AD [15:11:52] Unless you're running some AD specific extension [15:11:58] yes i have the extension [15:12:08] Now i need to know how to see the group that has been given to me [15:12:11] or how to search for it [15:12:58] Reedy: 5,856 articles and 97,213 pages. [15:14:20] carltonb: Look at the config you already have? [15:14:57] Reedy: The config i already have allows users - DOMAIN\USER [15:15:14] Now i want to allow the group that has been set up [15:15:44] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication/AD_Configuration_Examples [15:18:52] Reedy: Thanks. Im sure i have looked at this before but thanks anyway [15:19:29] Unfortunately, what you're asking for is very niche information [15:19:40] Not many people use it, and even less people can support it [15:20:31] Reedy: Cheers [15:32:43] Reedy: under wgLDAPSearchStrings i can search for users using CORP-INT\\USER-NAME. How do i search for user groups?? Anyone know this? [17:47:20] 1.5 years waiting for review, rejection, or merge. I start hallucinating a while ago and I think that pony over there has turned into code. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/317167/ [17:47:31] Original: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/252455/ [17:51:44] You got review within a week of posting the original :P [17:52:08] Yep. :D [17:52:18] I'd remove the @access public [17:52:27] They're useless when you're decorating a function public anyway [17:55:55] Doing that now. [17:56:16] there's some @access private too [18:04:09] Done. [22:49:46] Ok, so here's a fun question. How do I reverse $wgUseSharedUploads ? If I've got an image wiki, and a wiki with lots of content, how do I merge the image wiki back in to the wiki with content? [22:50:09] Preferably without losing revisions and history. [22:51:20] Turn it off, export pages from target wiki, copy uploaded files across? [22:53:21] Is all the nessesary file history stored in the XML output of the File page though? [22:56:41] if you export the whole history [22:56:47] Doesn't export the physical files [23:00:18] Are there DB tables that tell the pages where the various physical file revisions are stored in the archive/ table? [23:13:35] Reedy: So poking around the Database layout page on MW.org, I'd guess I want to copy over a few DB tables like filearchive, image and oldimage as well? [23:13:59] Depends if you really care about that level of history [23:14:13] I suspect it wouldn't be quite so simple [23:14:24] Page ids will change if you import them to a new wiki [23:16:45] Are page ids actually stored in any of those tables? I saw a reference or two to page names, but nothing to IDs. [23:25:12] Not checked
