[05:28:03] <quiddity>	 Cycle 2 of the movement strategy discussion is underway at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Wikimedia_Strategy_2017 - Please take a look if you're interested in long-term planning and ideas. Cheers :)
[07:56:11] <Reception123>	 Hello. Does anyone have any idea why rebuilding LC stops at letter i (we have localisation for all languages)?
[07:56:26] <Reception123>	 Normally it goes until z, now it has to be re-ran manually for that to happen
[08:04:16] <Wisam>	 Hi
[08:04:50] <Wisam>	 I just want to ask if there is any API to get Wikipedia's featured articles?
[08:17:30] <Wisam>	 Any help?
[09:24:20] <Reedy>	 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=featuredfeed
[09:45:06] <MJPCubelo>	 hello
[12:47:31] <jubo2>	 y0 and Thanks, Thanks, Thanks for the awesomest wiki engine in the known universe
[12:47:40] <jubo2>	 I just updated from 1.28.0 to 1.28.2
[12:47:56] <jubo2>	 Updating-page on the mediawiki.org says I need to update extensions
[12:48:03] <jubo2>	 is there a way to do that in batch?
[12:48:14] <jubo2>	 even as I am not cloning into git to get them
[13:30:07] <jubo2>	 How do I easily check that all extensions are up-to-date
[13:30:34] <jubo2>	 I didn't get them from git so I probably used the extension distributor
[13:40:50] <PonglesEsquire>	 Hey all, I hope I can get some help here. I am trying to make a custom skin and part of part 2 of the tutorial is confusing me a bit.
[13:41:12] <PonglesEsquire>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning_Part_2#Extend_BaseTemplate in this section it shows starting off with a <?php but is it not part of the same file as the previous section?
[13:47:15] <PonglesEsquire>	 Or is that just in there in case the previous section went unused?
[14:46:38] <Reception123>	 Could someone please help with
[14:46:39] <Reception123>	  /w/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=timeless MWException from line 551 of /srv/mediawiki/w/includes/Html.php: HTML attribute data can not contain a list of values
[14:46:39] <Reception123>	 ?
[14:46:45] <Reception123>	 for Timeless skin
[15:07:46] <kalle>	 How do I go about to move a wiki from one server to another? Is there some tool ready for it, or will I have to dump databases etc manually?
[15:15:16] <eddiegp>	 !move
[15:15:17] <wm-bot>	 For help about moving pages, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Moving_a_page>. For help about moving wikis, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Moving_a_wiki>.
[15:15:37] <eddiegp>	 I'm not aware of any tool (that doesn't mean there is none), but the latter of ^ links might help you.
[15:16:19] <eddiegp>	 kalle: ^^
[15:41:19] <Reception123>	 kalle: there is Special:Export
[15:41:28] <Reception123>	 kalle: or dumpBackup.php
[15:41:47] <Reception123>	 The latter gives you an XML dump which you can import on another server using importDump.php
[16:41:31] <c>	 so installing 1.28.0 in skins/Vector/components/common.less line 30 it lists a width of 793px which causes content area to be wonky on certain resolutions...but I'm looking at the branch history on phabricator and I'm not seeing where this was added and then removed
[16:42:48] <Reedy>	 https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-Vector/blame/REL1_28/components/common.less#L30
[16:42:57] <Reedy>	 I see no 793
[16:45:00] <c>	 neither do it. but in our production branch and then a test branch for 1.28.0 i installed yesterday it's in both places
[16:45:05] <c>	 I*
[16:45:21] <Reedy>	 In the file on disk?
[16:45:23] <Reedy>	 Or the resultant file?
[16:45:29] <sigdk>	 Hello, I had a local wiki for keeping personal notes. Since a system upgrade I cannot access it any more (actually, I see no mysqld running). There are still files under /var/www/html/wiki ... Can I recover it?
[16:45:39] <c>	 Reedy: on disk?
[16:45:46] <Reedy>	 The physical file
[16:45:58] <Reedy>	 sigdk: You need the database for the contents. TRy and work out why mysql is not running?
[16:45:58] <c>	 i know, that's my answer
[16:46:47] <Reedy>	 If it's not in the git repo, for that branch.. But it's in your version
[16:46:49] <Reedy>	 Something is wrong with your version
[16:48:19] <sigdk>	 Reedy, can it be that mediawiki is using mariadb on debian?
[16:48:28] <Reedy>	 Quite likely, yeah
[16:48:29] <c>	 the version downloaded from here you mean https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.28/mediawiki-core-1.28.0.tar.gz
[16:48:58] <Reedy>	 c: Though, for a clean install, I do question why you're using .0 when there's a security update
[16:49:37] <Reedy>	 10+ minute sto download that file here. Bleugh
[16:51:26] <Reedy>	 c: That version doesn't include any skins
[16:51:29] <c>	 Reedy: we've been a bit distracted with our custom skin, but it's on the list to go to 1.28.2
[16:52:12] <Reedy>	 the non -core version has skins
[16:52:14] <Reedy>	 I think
[16:52:19] <c>	 i give up then, i was just making sure my change wasn't erased with an update, but I guess it's irrelevant if you don't see it
[16:53:05] * Reedy checks https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.28/mediawiki-1.28.0.tar.gz
[16:54:00] <Reedy>	 No 793 in that too
[16:54:07] <Reedy>	 So presumably you've got some random old version
[16:54:38] <Reedy>	 Or one someones modified
[16:54:47] <sigdk>	 Reedy, are data serialized somewhere on disk? do I lose them if the db gets uninstalled/
[16:54:48] <sigdk>	 ?
[16:54:56] <Reedy>	 No they're not
[16:55:07] <Reedy>	 But uninstalling mysql/mariadb wouldn't delete your data
[16:55:42] <Reedy>	 sigdk: Have a look in /var/lib/mysql/
[17:04:59] <sigdk>	 Reedy, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ddb2674acfcf46c7fd645b0c0fb3b1d9  seems there is a my_wiki directory under /var/lib/mysql/ (there is still hope!)
[17:05:21] <sigdk>	 I get a "Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties." and this came up after a system upgrade
[17:05:27] <sigdk>	 any hint?
[17:15:52] <Reedy>	 sigdk: Does it give you any more information than that?
[17:15:58] <Reedy>	 IIRC, it should usually
[17:17:15] <Reedy>	    Active: active (exited) since Sat 2017-05-13 18:39:41 CEST; 20min ago
[17:17:19] <Reedy>	 Is it actually running?
[17:17:38] <Reedy>	 I'm guessing not
[17:17:40] <Reedy>	 Mine shows...
[17:17:40] <Reedy>	    Active: active (running) since Fri 2017-05-05 15:05:27 BST; 1 weeks 1 days ago
[17:17:52] <Reedy>	 sigdk: sudo service mysql start
[17:17:52] <Reedy>	 ?
[17:18:42] <Reedy>	 Kinda sounds like your mariadb is crashing/stopping for some reason
[17:27:47] <sigdk>	 okay... I'll investigate that
[17:29:12] <Reedy>	 Check the logs if trying to start the service doesn't yield anything obvious
[17:35:17] <sigdk>	 Reedy, well, as you said mysql (mariadb) wasn't running... it works now. I got my wiki back
[17:35:19] <sigdk>	 thanks!
[17:35:54] <sigdk>	 btw, is there any way to take a backup? Serialize everything into a file maybe... for safety
[17:36:05] <Reception123>	 sigdk: dumpBackup.php
[17:40:41] <sigdk>	 Reception123, super, worked that too! thanks!
[17:41:06] <Reception123>	 No problem :)
[17:42:40] <Reedy>	 yeah
[17:42:50] <Reedy>	 Or mysqldump to get a full db dump
