[00:00:42] <Platonides>	 it generates a broken link
[00:01:17] <valerio-bozzolan>	 In your opinion why [[meta:]] is disabled in Meta?
[00:01:26] <valerio-bozzolan>	 It seems stupid, but it's required for this
[00:03:18] <Platonides>	 file a bug in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GlobalUserPage ?
[00:08:40] <valerio-bozzolan>	 We have found two bugs in 10 minutes. Too for tonight... Goodnight dears :^)
[00:13:28] <Platonides>	 good night valerio :)
[00:23:23] <valerio-bozzolan>	 Platonides: If you are curious https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173793
[00:35:29] <valerio-bozzolan>	 Also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173794
[05:48:52] <kamadana>	 is it possible to write the project wiki's using the media wiki
[05:49:35] <kamadana>	 if possible can you please help how to write project wikis
[13:21:10] <valerio-bozzolan>	 Hello! We know that SVG images can be generated at choosen width, e.g. 1px:
[13:21:12] <valerio-bozzolan>	 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b2/Symbol_conditional_support.svg/1px-Symbol_conditional_support.svg.png
[13:22:01] <valerio-bozzolan>	 But 0px will generate a loop, and it die after some time with an error:
[13:22:04] <valerio-bozzolan>	 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b2/Symbol_conditional_support.svg/0px-Symbol_conditional_support.svg.png
[13:22:31] <valerio-bozzolan>	 I think that it's a waste of resources. Where we can file a bug about it?
[13:26:11] <valerio-bozzolan>	 OK nothing, I cannot reproduce anymore.
[14:14:15] <andre__>	 valerio-bozzolan, https://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug
[14:38:52] <Matthew_>	 OK... somebody smarter than me want to help with Gerrit?  Fresh checkout of Mediawiki using the Gerrit URL...
[14:39:02] <Matthew_>	 https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/st0WGx4a/
[14:40:27] <Matthew_>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial#Amending_a_change_.28your_own_or_someone_else.27s.29 says that's the proper way to do it.
[14:43:17] <Nikerabbit>	 my guess is that ssh protocol would work okay
[14:44:06] <andre__>	 Matthew_, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100987#1497954
[14:44:38] <Matthew_>	 Ok, thanks.  Could not find that.  
[14:44:53] <Matthew_>	 Maybe update the Phabricator urls?  Since that's what I copied off of...
[16:47:35] <Dewin>	 Is there a snippet of code I can put on a template that results in a link to that template -- regardless of if it's been moved -- such that if the template is transcluded, the link references the template not the transcluding page?
[16:48:26] <Dewin>	 I dug through a list of parser functions and such and didn't see anything -- I found {{pagename}} but that says that by default it'll be the name of the current page, not the transcluded template
[20:31:45] <bewbs>	 like 5 days and i have 350 spam accounts
[20:31:48] <bewbs>	 awesome
[20:34:24] <bewbs>	 mediawiki is somewhat lacking in usermanagement from what i see
[20:55:36] <MikeV>	 Where do you edit text for the "Create Account" login page?
[21:24:26] <Skizzerz>	 !spam
[21:24:26] <goat-bot>	 For information about combating and handling spam in MediaWiki, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam>.
[21:24:29] <Skizzerz>	 bewbs: ^
[21:24:55] <Skizzerz>	 vanilla mw is pretty terrible in that front
[22:06:21] <lev59>	 Hi! i need help with mediawiki. I have installed mediawiki on my synology and it worked but when i had added an extension (VisualEditor), i was said that the version was too old. So i have installed the last version (1.29.0) but since then i get a blank page with only this : "Fatal error: Class 'ILoadBalancer' not found in /volume2/web/MediaWiki/includes/libs/rdbms/defines.php on line 13 "
[22:08:00] <lev59>	 if i launch the update commande, i get this : 
[22:08:02] <lev59>	 ?> php update.php 
[22:08:03] <lev59>	 PHP Fatal error:  Class 'ILoadBalancer' not found in /volume2/web/MediaWiki/includes/libs/rdbms/defines.php on line 13
[22:11:27] <Platonides>	 how did you install the new version?
[22:13:26] <lev59>	 i have downloaded the tar.gz and extract it in /volume2/web/
[22:14:09] <Platonides>	 so you have there a mix of old and new files? :(
[22:14:56] <Platonides>	 see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading
[22:15:02] <Platonides>	 I would suggest starting again
[22:15:11] <Platonides>	 extracting to a new directory
[22:15:21] <Platonides>	 and moving (copying) only the files needed from the old install
[22:17:20] <lev59>	 i have only the pref file created at the install and VisualEditor
[22:17:35] <lev59>	 i will redo the install
[22:18:41] <Platonides>	 that's another way 
[22:18:45] <Platonides>	 it should be able to pick up your old database and upgrade it
[22:30:51] <lev59>	 i got this : 
[22:31:01] <lev59>	 ?> php update.php
[22:31:02] <lev59>	 MediaWiki 1.29.0 Updater
[22:31:04] <lev59>	 Your composer.lock file is up to date with current dependencies!

[22:31:27] <Krenair>	 lev59, please use a pastebin
[22:31:33] <Krenair>	 instead of dumping stuff into the channel
[22:31:41] <lev59>	 ok
[22:32:04] <Krenair>	 lev59, try setting wgDBtype to 'mysqli' ?
[22:32:50] <lev59>	 i use mariadb 10 if it can help
[22:34:14] <Krenair>	 hmm
[22:34:21] <Krenair>	 actually that might not help
[22:34:27] <Platonides>	 why not?
[22:34:31] <Krenair>	 my suggestion earlier, I mean
[22:34:39] <lev59>	 i get this with mysqli https://pastebin.com/1nhQan5E
[22:34:41] <Platonides>	 seems sensible
[22:34:51] <Krenair>	 it seems mysql and mysqli got aliased
[22:35:01] <Platonides>	 lev59: that's an improvement
[22:35:15] <Platonides>	 install php-mysqli package
[22:35:20] <Platonides>	 or however your distro named it
[22:35:33] <Krenair>	 lev59, you should install the php-mysql extension
[22:35:38] <Krenair>	 or php-mysqli or whatever
[22:35:48] <Krenair>	 might be php7.0-mysql or php7.0-mysqli depending on your php version too
[22:35:53] <Krenair>	 one of those
[22:36:21] <lev59>	 a mediawiki extension or dsm package?
[22:36:38] <Krenair>	 it's not a mediawiki extension
[22:36:40] <Platonides>	 dsm package
[22:36:42] <Platonides>	 I guess
[22:36:47] <Krenair>	 what is a dsm?
[22:37:17] <lev59>	 Synology OS
[22:37:32] <Skizzerz>	 do they even have a package manager?
[22:37:52] * Platonides fears what php version will it have
[22:38:10] <Skizzerz>	 lev59: run php -v
[22:38:22] <Skizzerz>	 let's find out!
[22:38:27] <Platonides>	 :)
[22:38:49] <bawolff>	 you may very well be the only person to have ever run mediawiki on that platform
[22:38:51] <Skizzerz>	 probably php 5
[22:38:56] <Skizzerz>	 if it was an old mw
[22:38:59] <lev59>	 PHP 5.6.11 (cli) (built: Jul 13 2017 05:20:13) Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
[22:39:08] <Skizzerz>	 that isn't terrible
[22:39:10] <Skizzerz>	 it's not like 5.2
[22:39:13] <Skizzerz>	 :P
[22:39:27] <Platonides>	 pretty much the words I thought, Skizzerz 
[22:39:30] <Krenair>	 5.2 was old when I started doing MW development
[22:39:34] <Platonides>	 are you psichic? :)
[22:39:38] <Skizzerz>	 heh, no
[22:39:57] <lev59>	 normally i have php 7 too
[22:40:11] <Krenair>	 lev59, the package might be php5-mysql or something
[22:40:26] <Platonides>	 you can try with the php 7 package
[22:42:21] <lev59>	 how do i do that? php 7 is said to be installed in the web panel from DSM
[22:42:46] <Skizzerz>	 search DSM for "mysql" or "mysqli" and see if there's one that says PHP mysql or mysqli or something
[22:43:30] <Platonides>	 maybe its command line binary is called php7, then?
[22:43:50] <Skizzerz>	 yeah but then you're looking at manually configuring the wiki to use php 7
[22:43:54] <Skizzerz>	 which I guess isn't the end of the world
[22:44:51] <Platonides>	 it depends on what engine is used by the webserver to run the .php files
[22:45:34] <Reedy>	 Considering there's a MediaWiki package in the synology repos
[22:45:41] <Reedy>	 I'm guessing there's a mysql library
[22:46:14] <Skizzerz>	 if it's old mw, it's probably the base (deprecated) mysql ext
[22:46:25] <Skizzerz>	 which if we dropped support for that in recent mw...
[22:46:32] <Reedy>	 You should be able to install PHP 7 too
[22:46:37] <Reedy>	 7.0.16
[22:47:21] <Reedy>	 If you don't need PHP 5 just remove it
[22:47:27] <lev59>	  php 7 is set as master in the webserver...
[22:49:06] <Danny_B>	 anybody around familiar with scribunto, particularly mw.html?
[22:49:08] * Danny_B thought that mw.html:allDone() closes all opened tags in the tree up to the root one, but it seems it doesn't. so is it a misunderstanding in expectation of the function result or is it a bug in the function?
[23:37:24] <raj_>	 hello
[23:38:55] <bawolff>	 Hi
