[00:57:43] I've a question about Common.css [01:56:47] !ask [01:56:47] Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [01:56:54] oh, they left [05:56:03] hello all, I'm having a minor issue [05:56:30] just upgraded form 1.28.2 to 1.29.1 [05:57:11] after sorting out a couple minor issues (always purge your caches, kids) I'm stuck with this error: http://puu.sh/xqith/6122f3a25f.png [05:57:37] if I disable the hitcounter extension it goes away [05:58:06] but then that breaks templates that rely on page hits [05:58:16] anyone got any ideas? [05:58:34] I just tried updating hitcounters to the latest git snapshot [05:58:39] but that didn't help [17:04:54] I'm unable to download from releases.wikimedia.org right now. Anyone else seeing this? [17:05:08] link please [17:05:39] Looks alright to me (random clicks through to https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.1.tar.gz, downloading fine) [17:06:13] Welp, it just started working again. [17:06:36] ~the power of #mediawiki~ [17:06:48] That's what I was trying to download all right. Shrug. [17:07:02] lol [17:26:36] hello, has anyone ever used or is currently using Polyglot extension? [17:36:26] Which polygot extension? [17:38:13] !e Polyglot [17:38:13] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Polyglot [17:38:44] yes Extension:Polyglot [17:40:08] I must've looked at extensions: again [17:40:30] It looks very unmaintained [17:41:25] SirLouen: Do you have a specific question? [17:42:37] Reedy, yes: I can't understand how one can link different language pages, as in the Interlanguage wiki links with this extension [17:43:48] It's very possible it's broken [17:44:02] For example, if I have the page called, Dog/en it's fine but then for french I should create another page, called "Dog/fr". But "Dog" is not appropiate for french, therefore I should create "Chien" page [17:44:19] but how can I link "Chien" with "Dog" as interlanguage links [17:44:58] if I have two pages "Dog/fr" and "Dog/en" they are correctly linked each other as English <-> French [17:45:11] respectively in each other page [17:49:10] * $wfPolyglotFollowRedirects: wether Polyglot should follow redirects it find [17:49:10] as the target of a magic redirect. This is false per default; setting it to [17:49:11] true causes an additional database lookup on every magic redirect, but it [17:49:11] allows for locaized page titles. For example, Main_Page/de could redirect to [17:49:11] Hauptseite, so people with the user language set to "de" (German) would end [17:49:12] up on a page called "Hauptseite" instead of the clunky "Main_Page/de". [17:49:13] NOTE: currently, the magic interlanguage links don't take into consideration [17:49:15] this type of redirect. [17:49:20] I think that seetting is what you're looking for [17:52:04] yes, but I don't understand it [17:54:24] Reedy what do you think it means? [17:54:37] You need to set it to true [17:54:56] yes, I did set it to true [17:55:05] but I don't see a difference [17:55:57] [18:43:48] It's very possible it's broken [17:56:16] yes possibly [17:56:24] but what do you interpret from that text? [17:57:04] with that setting you could edit [[Main_Page/de]] and make it a #REDIRECT[[Hauptseite]] [17:57:33] yes, but I've tried with that setting off and on, and with the redirect special word and it works [17:58:40] the config seems to be lame anyway, since it will lose all interwikis on [[Hauptseite]], since there won't be [[Hauptseite/en]], etc [17:58:45] what I think it means is that may redirect automatically according to the language set by your browser [17:59:25] yes exactly Vulpix, that is the lamest part I found in the whole extension, this is why I found my self needing to ask [18:01:08] or for example, if you have an link in another page lets say to my wiki called: www.mywiki.com/Main_Page/de then automatically it will magic redirect to /Hauptseite instead of getting stucked in the redirect page of Page/de as in redirect=no [18:01:28] I think this is what it means Reedy [18:02:18] but still it does not solve the issue I found that Vulpix pointed out :S so I don't find the meaning of this extension [22:36:36] if you had to represent some books in a wiki, where each of the Chapters were a Page. Which MediaWiki structure would you use to organise the Pages of this book? [22:38:16] I've been thinking on using a Category, as the Book, and each of the chapters linking this namespace. The problem is that maybe the Category will be significantly disordered in terms of chapter browsing [22:45:00] i'm seeing in wikibooks that what people do is create a Page as an table of contents, and then link every page with a category
