[02:51:59] hey folks, I think I might have found an issue or maybe its just known to be defeated... but I am getting a huge influx of user creation bots with ConfirmEdit and ReCaptchaNoCaptcha on, I am running 1.28.2. I thought NoCaptcha was the strongest how could I be getting a ton of spam with it on [03:13:12] My installation of MediaWiki just stopped working out of the blue. Are there any log files I can check to divine the cause of this service interruption, and if so, where are they? [03:13:32] !debugging [03:13:33] 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 [03:14:15] Thanks [13:31:41] hi guys i have gotten my mediawiki working again almost with nginx and php7. when i visit my wiki everyhting is fine. i click on login and get a 404 error [13:33:32] MediaWiki version? For the 404, what is the URL you end up on? [13:38:15] https://lv-sensu.lotvantage.com/wiki/Special:UserLogin [13:38:26] that is the url [13:38:53] andre__, not sure the version it was the latest version installed will need to check [13:39:32] Special:Version tells you [13:40:13] url wont work for me [13:40:17] 404 [13:40:28] as I get from special:userlogin [13:49:02] dangerdoom: I think our short url setup is bortked. Login page is at https://lv-sensu.lotvantage.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin [13:49:55] *your [14:11:50] Is there any tool for converting XML to SQL and importing the database? [14:11:59] enwiki-20170601-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2 > enwiki-20170601-pages-articles-multistream.sql [14:25:02] FoxT, i think so too. I currently have no rewrite rules in my nginx configuration for mediawiki but I do no serve it as a subdomain rather as a subdirectory so I am not sure how I should be setting up the rewrite rule [14:28:33] dangerdoom: I don't know nginx, but in any case you should make sure that the subdirectory where MW is installed (wiki) and the URL path are different. What is often done is to install MW in a directory /w under your document root and then set up the redirect so that the URL path is /wiki [14:39:03] How can I clear the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi cache? [14:42:10] Nevermind, fixed. There's a CACHE_VERSION in the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.class.php file. Just increment that number. [19:24:23] Mediawiki has a function #ifexist. [19:24:39] We have a mediawiki site in our museum. [19:25:02] May we use #ifexist function to check for pages / categories in Wikimedia Commons? [19:25:16] In other words, can #ifexist be used in cross-wiki checks? [19:29:03] PMZ, from the documentation, looks like #ifexist can check if a file exists on Commons, but not if a page exists on Commons https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23ifexist [19:33:36] Thank you! Such a pity, for I wanted to check if a category exists on Commons. [19:35:08] I mean, I wanted to use it like this: [19:35:42] {{#ifexist: commons:Category:Category_name| Found it! | No category appears. }} [19:39:59] just tried something like that line in my testwiki sandbox, and it doesn't work :/ [19:42:03] perhaps scribunto may be helpful in this case? [19:43:23] Thank you! [19:58:58] hi everyone, is it possible to create a media wiki installation where the only person who is able to edit a page is the original creator of it ? So other users when they create edits their edit is "pendind review" but the "admin" of the page is automatically the original creator of hte page [19:59:31] so if I create a page only I can edit is, other people's edits must be first validated by me [20:19:07] yes [20:19:12] you can do all that [20:19:38] Not so long ago I have asked about #ifexist with interwiki. [20:20:01] I wanted to use #ifexist to check if the category exists on Commons. [20:20:08] Let me generalize the question. [20:20:22] May I do something with page on Commons via interwiki? [20:20:40] May I get its ID, or its size, or anything about it? [20:23:01] kaizushi: thank you very much for your reply. I would like to refine that a bit, is it possible that the original creator of the page has the sole rights of editing the article but not the discussion of the article. In other words, only the original author may edit the article but everyone may add to the discussion [20:28:09] kaizushi: also if you know please let me know if this is done natively using setings in media wiki, through extensions or by using bots [20:41:15] May I gain some data about interwiki page? [20:59:18] it asks at the installer [21:03:43] thank you kaizushi [22:46:50] hi all - any idea where I can download the 'wikisaurus' - is it part of the wiktionary data dump? [22:59:40] Help
