[00:17:28] Hi all. I'm looking for an advice about multilang extensions, in particular - LanguageSelector and Polyglot integration [00:19:25] or recomendation for any other way to get both interface and content language switching at the same time, even for anon users [00:22:27] in my current setup, I've got two language selection widgets (one from LanguageSelector and other from Polyglot). Can't figure out how to supress one of them, e.g. LanguageSelector's one, as it swiches only the interface language... [00:38:19] a couple of related questions: Polyglot extension suggests that article's main page should be be written in wiki's content language (e.g. in English, if $wgLanguageCode = "en"). Should I create a corresponding "/en" subpage in that case? If so, what should be there? Redirect to base page? [08:59:03] hello to all [08:59:25] i have a problem using API login provided by mediaWiki [08:59:33] can anyone help me? [14:22:17] anyoe around with experience on LanguageSelector and Polyglot extensions integration? [14:29:04] Hey there - I'm just getting started setting up my own mediawiki. I'm trying to link to a certain file I uploaded to the wiki with [[Bestand:somename.ext|some alternative text]] ("Bestand" is File in English). The link works. However, for somewhat complex filenames sometimes the alternative text is not shown. Is this something I can fix, or must file uploaders adhere to a certain nameing convention [14:42:50] Rienzilla: what filenames specifically? that should work for any file [14:43:53] [[Bestand:Olg_karlsruhe_20160908.pdf|test]] displays as "Bestand:Olg karlsruhe 20160908.pdf" [14:44:08] for example [14:44:35] [[Bestand:O_k_2.pdf|test]] displays as "test" [14:44:49] the only difference is length, it seems [14:45:50] Rienzilla: that is very weird. [14:47:06] yes I thought so too [14:47:11] Rienzilla: by the way, syntax like [[Bestand:O_k_2.pdf|test]] will generally display a thumbnail of the file with 'test' as the caption; presumably, you don't have PDF thumbnailing set up if they render as links. you can use [[:Bestand:O_k_2.pdf|test]] (note the extra colon ':' at the beginning) to render a link regardless of any settings. (perhaps that will actually fix your issue somehow?) [14:48:10] heh [14:48:22] [[:Bestand:Olg_karlsruhe_20160908.pdf|test]] then displays as test [14:48:36] well at least that will work then, but I'm quite puzzled still [14:49:19] thanks [14:55:59] Hello. Does anyone know if there was an enhancement request or maybe an open bug filed for implementing Cyrillic in Serbo-Croatian language MediaWiki? [14:59:35] I am currently working on it but wouldn't want to waste my efforts if there has already been anything done in this direction. [15:04:55] biblbroks: we seem to support that language already (language code 'sh'). what do you mean? [15:10:00] well I'm asking about any official request or bug for having automatic conversions from and to cyrillic as well as namespaces, its parameters, special pages and similar in cyrillic form? An already working example of such thing would be sr.wikipedia [15:10:51] that sounds like LanguageConverter territory? [15:11:03] yes [15:11:37] I don't see a Croatian related request in the list of tasks at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T32759 [15:11:57] and aliases in json files (if I remember the dox well) [15:14:29] well actually [[en:Croatian language]] doesn't have Cyrillic IIUC [15:25:16] biblbroks: ah, i see. we have that for Serbian, but not Serbo-Croatian [15:26:42] i can't find anybody requesting the feature or working on it either [22:51:03] I had a database problem, accidentally deleted. I've been trying to reinstall MW. Finally managed to do so. But now my wiki is blank. I have a zip backup of the previous wiki. But when I unzip it I get a database error again. How can I restore my wiki from the zip file?

[22:55:48] without knowing the exact error, we can only point you to documentation on how to find it :) [22:56:42] the error is that I need to restore my wiki from a zip file [22:57:51] nope, the error is "I get a database error again" [22:59:01] This is the error page given: [22:59:03] Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Cannot access the database) [23:27:56] so, how do I restore my wiki from a zip of a previous version? [23:28:17] What is it a zip of? [23:28:23] Just the php and js files? [23:28:38] the zip is of my wiki, the whole directory that MW saved to [23:30:23] No backup of your database? [23:30:37] nothing but the zip.... [23:41:57] PelicanGaming: How did you setup the database in the first place?
