[06:56:31] how do i tell if a wiki is mediawiki? or is any wiki a mediawiki ? [07:42:16] Hi... Um... okay. So I'm working on a project that i would like to use the wikipedia monthly xml dumps for, and noticed that you guys are running a severe shortage of mirrors.. i think most people are somewhat abject to host a mirror for a number of reasons. After thinking about it... most people are far less abject to seeding a torrent. Is there already an existing source for torrents of the monthly dumps? And is this the right [07:48:14] Duality: Check if it has a Special:Version page. [08:15:54] Niharika: awesome thanks! [08:18:14] Niharika: your my hero :) [10:24:34] Morning, Got a question if anyone is able to help [10:25:01] !ask [10:25:02] Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [10:25:46] !ask Getting an error: 2017-05-30 10:21:53: Fatal exception of type "DBQueryError" when trying to change passwords within preferences, using release 1.28.2 [10:25:46] Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [10:26:14] !debug [10:26:14] For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug . A list of related configuration variables is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Debug.2Flogging [10:27:00] You'll need to enable a few debugging flags to get a stack trace [10:27:04] Have you run update.php? [10:29:02] i've got all the debugging flags in LocalSettings, not seeing anything different, not run update.php yet [10:30:14] Try running update.php first [10:30:22] It's generally advised after doing any upgrades [10:30:28] Depending on how far you're upgrading across [10:30:58] you Reedy are a wizard :) [10:31:05] thanks, the update.php fixed it [10:31:10] cool [10:31:19] didn't ever notice the maintenance folder [10:31:26] !update [10:31:27] update.php is a script that updates the database tables. You usually need to run it after upgrading MediaWiki or installing certain extensions. For details, see [10:32:13] i knew mIRC would come in handy. When all else fails with google then revert back to the old ways of getting help [11:03:00] hey guys i keep on getting MediaWiki requires the PSR-3 logging library to be present. This library is not embedded directly in MediaWiki's git repository and must be installed separately by the end user. Please see mediawiki.org for help on installing the required components. I installed composer and did everything like tin the documentation... still no better result [11:03:13] what can be wrong [11:05:18] i think this is the same issue https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45126 but i dont understand what he did to fix it [11:19:13] Do you have a vendor repo? [14:32:05] Is there a default setting or variable that would limit an uploaded file to 100MB? [14:33:29] Ulfr: there's some $wg variable for it, but it's also limited by php.ini settings [14:33:40] Ulfr: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Set_maximum_size_for_file_uploads [14:34:13] MatmaRex: Yarp, was on that page. Just didn't notice the bit I needed to read :( [14:34:18] thank you very much though! [15:57:57] HI all [15:58:13] I need help in integrating wikipedia api in my app [15:59:16] I am using Wikipedia search api for my app when I search it on my app it showing results with name and thumbnail for example : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Rooney but its not showing any results and images for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C. Can you tel me why is that also how can I solve it is the issue with the images as image of wayne rooney is in jpg and image of manchester undited fc is in png [15:59:43] this is code I am using [15:59:44] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Chennai%20Super%20Kings&prop=pageimages&format=json&pithumbsize=100 [16:01:47] apihelp: fair use images are not returned by default (since a re user has to assess if he will be allowed to use them in his country. [16:02:36] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Chennai%20Super%20Kings&prop=pageimages&format=json&pithumbsize=100&pilicense=any [16:05:14] apihelp: be careful, the legal compliance lies with YOU when using such images, so you need to have a good understanding of copyright regulations to be able to determine if you can be potentially be sued for using such an image. [16:06:10] so I cant use those images? [16:08:17] @thedj ? [16:15:53] Tpt[m]: ping [18:59:01] if any one happens to know requests for oversight permissions, is this the right place to look - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/CheckUser_and_Oversight#Appointments [18:59:18] *? [19:00:10] codezee: This is the wrong channel for this sort of thing. If you're wondering about english wikipedia, try asking at #wikipedia-en . If you want to know about global cross wiki stuff, you could try at #wikimedia-stewards [19:01:50] unless of course you're asking about oversight on mediawiki.org, in which case this would be the right channel [19:02:13] bawolff: oh thanks! [19:28:02] Hi! Poking again. I'm looking for help uninstalling MediaWiki. Specifically, it looks like the Mediawiki database on GoDadddy (I know I know) appears to be shared with other things such as woocommerce so I can't just drop the database altogether. Would it be safe to drop the tables listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_layout? How would I confirm that they are safe to drop and not somehow used by somethin [19:29:29] I think Reedy said (yesterday?) to rename them and see if woocommerce still works [19:39:35] Ah! I think I was disconnected from IRC then and missed the message. Thanks Vulpix [23:01:46] how can I modify the account creation page to have additional fields that must be filled out by the user? [23:06:34] I'm trying to figure it out, but all I can find in the documentation talks about authentication providers and requests, and that seems to have to do with alternate authentication types which is not at all what I want. I just want to require the user to fill out more of their preferences when creating their account
