[00:17:52] <DarwinElf>	 so... I have some problems.  Wikis have often suddenly appeared instead with 'not found' errors, so I reinstall, without changing LocalSettings.php or httpd.conf, and soon, it works.  I also followed restore process, dumping the database, dropping, recreating & reloading it, then Mediawiki installation says it found the tables.  Then when the wiki loads, it's without any of the articles, without any of the users
[00:18:52] <DarwinElf>	 I notice it also doesn't let you choose, in installation, whether you want to use HTTP or HTTPS... obviously one may want it accessible with HTTP, and force login with HTTPS.  Installation just automatically chooses only the way you are accessing the URL
[00:30:40] <DarwinElf>	 the restore guide also seems to be written backwards... says run an update.php, but then delete and recreate the main folder after the update instead of before
[00:41:39] <MacFan4000>	 DarwinElf: Did you restore a backup of the database?
[00:41:58] <DarwinElf>	 that's what I just said I did
[00:44:47] <MacFan4000>	 As for https, you can use it by changing $wgServer to https in LocalSettings.php,
[01:58:35] <DarwinElf>	 PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getCode() on null in /var/www/ontomath/mediawiki/includes/user/User.php on line 1538
[02:04:33] <Trela>	 If you want people to selective use HTTP or HTTPS, but force them to redirect to HTTPS for a secure login see this page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSecureLogin
[02:46:47] <DarwinElf>	 thanks.  As for upgrading/restoring, it seems I'll never be able to
[06:48:49] <Combined2857>	 hi guys
[07:16:46] <Combined2857>	 "Wikipedia is running MediaWiki version 1.30.0-wmf.10 (3646c26)."
[07:17:03] <Combined2857>	 Why is wikipedia in such an unstable version ? I think latest stable is 1.28
[07:19:03] <Combined2857>	 1.29*
[07:56:25] <quiddity>	 Combined2857, we update the live code from master once a week (or more).  "stable" is for 3rd-party users. See https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments
[07:56:51] <quiddity>	 (or something along those lines. It's late, I'm tired.)
[07:57:06] <Combined2857>	 thanks quiddity
[07:57:08] <Combined2857>	 rest well
[08:25:53] <altin>	 how do I make the mediawiki sidebar translateable?
[22:52:49] <Sophivorus>	 hi!
[22:53:05] <Sophivorus>	 anyone knows how to replace Article::doEdit() ?
[22:54:12] <Sophivorus>	 I have some code that used to do:
[22:55:26] <Reedy>	 Replace it with doEditContent
[22:55:31] <Reedy>	 Make a content object and pass it in
[22:55:44] <Sophivorus>	 Reedy: thanks
[22:55:44] <Sophivorus>	 but
[22:56:00] <Sophivorus>	 Article::fetchContentObject() is protected
[22:56:14] <Sophivorus>	 so is Article::getContentObject()
[22:58:25] <ashley>	 Sophivorus: basically like this: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Video/commit/dfeeee5203ec9aef30783b110053b0516fe226c3 -- ContentHandler::makeContent( 'wikitext goes here', $someTitleObject ); and then you pass that onto Article::doEditContent() and that's about it
[22:59:10] <Sophivorus>	 ashley: thanks, ill give it a try :D
[22:59:52] <ashley>	 np, lemme know if you run into any issues
