[00:42:28] <samwilson>	 is there a way that extensions can provide wiki page text? e.g. for help pages that are stored in text files in the extension code
[01:58:37] <Niharika>	 samwilson: Register text as messages and load those message strings on said page? I'm not very clear on what you mean.
[02:00:08] <samwilson>	 Niharika: yeah i thought of that. but i mean for whole long pages of text, and perhaps even images
[02:00:22] <samwilson>	 for packaging extension docs with the extension
[02:13:42] <legoktm>	 samwilson: just link to docs on mediawiki.org?
[02:14:28] <samwilson>	 legoktm: no, I was just wondering about doing something like we've done on xtools, where the docs are in the repo, and so are valid for whatever version is installed
[02:14:46] <Skizzerz>	 samwilson: option 1 is to put it as a Special page. option 2 is to have your db updater automatically create the pages
[02:14:59] <samwilson>	 like the whole readthedocs.org thing
[02:15:02] <Skizzerz>	 I'd recommend against option 2, as some wikis may not want there to be doc pages in the wiki itself
[02:15:16] <samwilson>	 Skizzerz: that's sort of what i was thinking
[02:15:25] <legoktm>	 how are you planning to have the docs be internaiontalized?
[02:15:46] <Skizzerz>	 if it was a special page presumably you'd display the content in the user's language
[02:15:53] <samwilson>	 legoktm: good point. i'm not planning on doing this; just thinking aloud really :)
[02:15:58] <Skizzerz>	 but
[02:16:05] <Skizzerz>	 just putting the docs on mw.org is probably best
[02:16:17] <Skizzerz>	 you can add tags saying "This was added in version X.Y" if you want
[02:16:24] <Skizzerz>	 (or "This was removed in version X.Y")
[02:16:34] <Skizzerz>	 idk if you can co-opt the existing templates for that
[02:17:10] <samwilson>	 Skizzerz: yeah, that's the easiest way it seems
[02:48:39] <c>	 anyone familiar with DPL cache and how to "flush" it?
[02:58:19] <Reedy>	 c: Just delete the contents?
[02:59:04] <Reedy>	 			if ( !$bDPLRefresh && file_exists( $cacheFile ) ) {
[03:00:43] <c>	 Reedy: delete the contents of $wgUploadDirectory/dplcache/ ?
[03:00:49] <Reedy>	 yeah
[03:00:56] <c>	 wasn't sure if that was safe to do
[03:01:02] <c>	 it's 11GB worth of stuff!
[03:03:16] <Reedy>	 it's a cache...
[03:05:18] <c>	 just paranoid. should i leave the 10 directories and empty the contents of each? 0-9
[03:14:02] <Reedy>	 Can if you want
[03:14:05] <Reedy>	 Don't need to
[03:14:11] <Reedy>	 				wfMkdirParents( dirname( $cacheFile ) );
[03:14:58] <Reedy>	 That extension is horrible to look at
[03:15:12] <Esther>	 c: It's almost always safer to move something out of the way before deleting it.
[03:15:17] <samwilson>	 c: if you're worried about accidental deletion, you could move the whole directory somewhere else, and make sure everything's running properly before deleting it premanently
[03:15:24] <Esther>	 Heh.
[03:15:28] <samwilson>	 :) snap
[03:27:26] <c>	 Reedy: aye, time to make it less puke amirite
[07:18:10] <rainvectoer>	 hello
