[00:25:55] addgoat: lets create a mw.o page for all the Docker stuff [00:25:59] [[Docker]] [00:32:05] People can see what I write here right? [00:32:11] hmm [00:50:08] Hintswen, we do [00:50:41] well that was unexpected [00:51:19] Not a single answer to any question here for at least a month, except that question. [00:52:50] that happens when people don't know the answer [00:54:01] Yeah but I'd expect an answer to at least one of the questions I've asked. hard to believe no one knows the answer to anything I have asked. [00:54:53] anyway, what was the question? :) [00:56:05] Last question I asked here: Anyone know what extension Wikipedia uses to put og:image metadata on pages? [00:56:46] Hintswen, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenGraphMeta ? [00:56:49] prettymuch gave up on getting og:image working though [00:57:01] so I thought so, but wikipedia doesn't have that extension on it [00:57:20] also that extension doesn't actually seem to work for images but it does do the description [00:57:31] not sure if thats a 1.29 bug or not [00:58:07] hmm [00:58:30] the download for 1.29 doesn't even work with 1.29, I had to download the master snapshot [00:58:57] do we even do it? [00:59:57] Yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natt%C5%8D has [00:59:57] believe it may be https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-PageImages [01:00:08] https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-PageImages/blob/457c1568aaeedc4fcb67bd32557488b8dff44fde/includes/PageImages.php#L220 [01:01:08] so I thought it was that too, but unless I'm missing something it didn't seem to when I tried it [01:01:16] waaat? someone vandalized my extension with social network stuff? XD [01:13:24] legoktm: sounds goat [01:26:18] Hintswen, I would test it out but my vagrant install seems to have broken again [01:28:04] * MaxSem slaps addgoat around with a troutgoat [02:42:08] addgoat: oh wow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Docker is really out of date [02:44:27] addgoat: also need a mediawiki-docker project on phab [05:53:35] https://twitter.com/kennethreitz/status/896423550285950976 [05:56:31] ! [05:56:31] Hello, I'm wm-bot. The database for this channel is published at http://wm-bot.wmflabs.org/db/%23mediawiki.htm More about WM-Bot: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/wm-bot [05:57:00] I mean... is 1GB low for Wikipedia? [07:03:33] Wikipedia or Mediawiki? If it was Wikipedia then sure 1GB is low. [07:05:43] just checked the entire memory usage of the server I have mediawiki running on, 372mb. Small wiki only a few thousand pages (including redirects) [07:36:15] hi [07:37:00] hi ale11 [07:37:09] when querying the api, is it possible to keep the original order of categories? it seems that by default, the categories are ordered alphabetically [07:37:37] (query with prop=categories) [09:32:32] hi, there is this page http://coinwiki.info/en/Main_Page which has a category "Coins" where the short names of certains coins are, that forward to the respective article. Now I have this page http://coinwiki.info/en/SpectreCoin which I want to the category coins and add a certain short name to the main page. How can I do it? [09:34:11] I have found this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories but no other of those pages have [[Category:Name]] in their source code [09:34:22] so I'm not sure that's the right thing to do [09:53:26] bitcoinx: They may include some stuff that does have that Category -tag. [11:28:05] ok so I have added the Category:Coins tag here http://coinwiki.info/en/SpectreCoin, but it still doesn't show up in the list here http://coinwiki.info/en/Main_Page [11:28:05] Somehow I would also need to define an abbreviation, because most of those on the main page are tickers, not the actual name [11:28:16] can someone help me to find out how to do that? [11:39:46] ok got it :) Just had to edit the template [12:53:50] Hi, I'm trying to upgrade mediawiki (on debian wheezy) from 1.19 to 1.29.I used all 1.19.x-Patches und wnat to go to 1.20 now. What is the (best) way to do this? Do I have to use core-1.20 and copy "LocaleSettings.php" and "Images/"? I tried 1.20.8.patch. But dry-run shows a lot of failures... [12:54:57] php: 5.4.45; mysl: 5.6.36 [13:03:40] why would anyone go from 1.19 to 1.20 if you said 1.29 before? [13:03:53] also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading [13:05:51] I tried going directly to 1.29 but it didn't work. So I thaught of doing it step by step. [13:42:30] elminuto: If You upgrade that Wheezy to Jessie, You get Mediawiki 1.27.3. That upgrade should work, unless You have already messed the installed Mediawiki. [13:42:43] That are the patches You wrote about? [13:45:10] Hehe, just made a dist-upgrade to jessie and installed mediawiki 1.23 to try if that will work ;o) [13:47:11] When I understand the upgrade-manual right, I install (download and unzip) the mediawiki and copy "LocaleSettings.php", "images/" and (parts of) "extensions/" [13:48:32] So i always copy the important parts from the original-folder. That's why i hope it is NOT totally messed up ;) [13:59:45] elminuto, I hope you did not install 1.23 from mediawiki.org because that is an ancient unmaintained version too... :) [13:59:56] 1.27 is maintained. [14:09:41] andre__ Yes i did... I'll check 1.27, because 1.23 doesn't work... :( [14:15:30] is this the right place to ask questions with respect to how the API works? [14:15:47] elminuto: Have You installed Mediawiki from Debian package? [14:16:30] No, I download from releases.wikimedia.org and unzip [14:16:58] like discribed here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading [14:17:45] elminuto: Then upgrading Mediawiki should work if You follow the upgrading instructions. [14:18:05] elminuto: I assumed You had done the installation with apt-get. [14:18:47] elminuto: If You now have a Mediawiki installation that works, I suggest upgrading that and read carefully the instructions. [14:19:08] elminuto: If the Mediawiki no longer works, restore from backup a working setup and upgrade that. [14:19:10] tale: I hope it will work ;) but our 1.19-version is damn old... [14:19:37] elminuto: It does not matter how old it is, if it is newer than mediawiki 1.5. [14:22:57] tale: Well, it's a migration to a virtual machine and an upgrade... But if you say mediawiki-upgrade is no problem, than there should be only configs to fix. Sounds manageable ;) [14:23:33] thanks to tale and andre__ so far [14:35:33] ale11: try? [16:36:55] What plugin can I use to have something similar to a spreadsheet on a wiki page? Not looking to serve .xlsx files, but actually get a table structure for text on a wiki page. [16:37:58] sslb: wikimarkup natively supports tables [16:38:06] although it isn't the most intuitive to use [16:39:15] Skizzerz, I'd like to find something easy if it's out there. I want to spend more time working then worrying about formatting :) [16:40:00] well, there is the VisualEditor extension [16:40:09] which gives a WYSIWYG editor, including one for tables [16:40:16] it's not the easiest thing to install/set up though [16:44:59] Skizzerz, thanks for the info. [16:45:52] sslb: you can test it out here to see if it suits your needs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox?veaction=edit&action=edit [16:46:24] otherwise https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables gives info on how to format tables in wiki markup [19:21:14] trying to set up a user page in wiki [19:21:24] need help did not like name? [19:22:32] Heather @wikipedia profile set up [19:22:55] can someone help
