[00:00:29] <Platonides>	 it's probably easier to rework it
[00:01:34] <Dhaval>	 do you recon?
[00:02:07] <Dhaval>	 I am not familiar with creating template from scratch, can mend them
[00:12:21] <Dhaval>	 Platronides, are you working on it?
[00:24:41] <Dhaval>	 Platronides, It's now fixed. Parameters 4,5,6 were causing the issue...
[00:24:50] <Dhaval>	 Thank you for your help in getting this resolved

[07:53:03] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: hi madam

[07:54:33] <dheeraj>	 i am for GSoc
[07:55:01] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Do you know any programming?
[07:56:56] <Gopa_>	 Hello This is Gopa Vasanth I am newbie and please help me how to contribute to this mediawiki.org
[07:57:26] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: yes, html and css and learning javascript and also have knowledge in python and java
[07:58:14] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: MediaWiki (and related extensions) are primarily in PHP so you'd have to brush up on that. Also, hi Gopa_. 
[07:58:45] <dheeraj>	 ok
[07:58:47] <Gopa_>	 Niharika: Hello
[07:59:00] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: I gave you a link to setup the development environment. Once that's done, you can start looking for bugs (link in channel header) and fixing them. 
[07:59:09] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: i will start learnig basicks of it
[08:00:46] <Gopa_>	 Niharika: Can you please help me how to proceed further in contributing mediawiki
[08:02:15] <Niharika>	 !hacker | Gopa_ 
[08:02:15] <wm-bot>	 Gopa_: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker
[08:03:50] <Niharika>	 Gopa_: Please read through, setup your development environment (With vagrant, preferably), then start playing around with it, understanding how extensions work and so on.
[08:04:08] <Niharika>	 I can help with stuff when you have the dev environment setup.
[08:04:35] <Gopa_>	 Niharika: ohk thank you
[08:05:09] * Niharika gotta go for lunch
[08:31:10] <steven_c>	 Is the UserMerge plugin currently the only/best way to delete users ?
[08:31:17] <steven_c>	 *extension
[08:32:44] <eddiegp>	 !deleteuser
[08:32:44] <wm-bot>	 Deleting users is very messy and not recommended, because this breaks referential integrity in the database (they appear in many different tables like users, edit histories, recentchanges, preferences, etc). A safe solution is to block the users, and possibly rename them with <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Renameuser>. You can also try <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete>
[08:35:10] <eddiegp>	 steven_c: I guess so. As the bot said, deleting users isn't really recommended, but if you want to do that, that is the only extension I'm aware of that'd allow you to do so.
[08:47:15] <Gopa_>	 Niharika:   https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/mQl2BmrL/git-clone%20error.png ,Can you please help me in this error , I am facing the same from 3-4 attempts . 
[08:56:05] <Niharika>	 Gopa_: Are you on a university Wi-Fi? It may be blocking this.
[08:56:42] <Gopa_>	 Niharika: No I am using my personal mobile hotspot
[08:57:00] <Niharika>	 Gopa_: There's another way to install MediaWiki, using Vagrant. I'll recommend that if possible.
[08:58:32] <Gopa_>	 ok I will check that once 
[09:36:40] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Did you put your SSH keys on gerrit?
[09:39:36] <dheeraj>	 Niharika:  Dheeraj Malisetty Niharika: it is mentioning as it cannot access remote repository
[09:40:32] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: You didn't answer my last question. Did you generate SSH keys and put them on gerrit?
[09:41:25] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: how to do it
[09:43:16] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Firstly, where are you following the installation steps from?
[09:43:40] <dheeraj>	 yes
[09:44:26] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Where?
[10:05:14] <andre__>	 dheeraj: Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial
[10:12:28] <Gopa>	 Niharika: https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html , While  I am installing via Vagrant I do not find ubuntu in the following website to install vagrant so how to proceed
[10:14:22] <Gopa>	 I mean installing mediawiki via vagrant I do not find ubuntu support there could you help me please
[10:15:22] <Gopa>	 In this https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html 
[10:18:50] <andre__>	 Gopa, why are you on that page?
[10:19:00] <andre__>	 Gopa, Firstly, where are you following the installation steps from?
[10:20:04] <Gopa>	 andre__: I am on step 4 now 
[10:20:56] <eddiegp>	 My unqualified guess is that it's [[mw:MediaWiki_Vagrant]], that one links to the vagrantup download page iirc
[10:21:00] <Gopa>	 andre__: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Vagrant
[10:21:44] <Gopa>	 *In Quick Start 
[10:21:49] <Gopa>	 point no-4
[10:22:45] <andre__>	 Gopa: Have you tried the Debian download? Ubuntu is based on Debian.
[10:22:58] <andre__>	 Which Vagrant version does Ubuntu itself offer to you?
[10:24:03] <Gopa>	 I do not find any vagrant version for ubuntu there 
[10:24:48] <Gopa>	 I found for windows but not for the ubuntu
[10:26:55] <andre__>	 Gopa: Have you tried the Debian download? Ubuntu is based on Debian.
[10:26:57] <andre__>	 Which Vagrant version does Ubuntu itself offer to you?
[10:27:13] <andre__>	 Could you please not ignore my questions? Thanks! :)
[10:27:27] <Gopa>	 Yeah but I am checking 
[10:27:50] <andre__>	 Gopa: Checking what?
[10:27:58] <andre__>	 Please be clear.
[10:28:30] <Gopa>	 andre__: Sorry 
[10:28:57] <Gopa>	 andre__: Debian I did not do that
[10:33:19] <Gopa>	 andre__: oh thank you Now I got it I will install Debian 
[10:44:46] <dheeraj>	 in the last step i am getting this error https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/jj7V20XV/
[10:46:07] <andre__>	 dheeraj, last step of what?
[10:46:21] <andre__>	 dheeraj, see the questions asked here before which you have not answered yet.
[10:46:33] <andre__>	 dheeraj: Firstly, where are you following the installation steps from?
[10:48:37] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: 
[10:49:04] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: I  trying to generate ssh keys
[10:49:47] <dheeraj>	 andre__: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial#Prepare_to_push_your_change_set_to_Gerrit
[10:49:59] <dheeraj>	 andre__: from the above link
[10:51:42] <dheeraj>	 andre__: i completed generating ssh key, but getting permission denied for adding key to gerrit
[10:51:51] <andre__>	 dheeraj, that does not make sense.
[10:51:58] <andre__>	 dheeraj, you are still at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial#Set_Up_SSH_Keys_in_Gerrit
[10:52:05] <andre__>	 you are not yet at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial#Prepare_to_push_your_change_set_to_Gerrit I am afraid.
[10:56:58] <andre__>	 dheeraj: Any questions?
[10:57:08] <andre__>	 dheeraj, Did you successfully finish https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial#Set_Up_SSH_Keys_in_Gerrit ?
[10:58:47] <dheeraj>	 andre__: i am getting permission denied in that last step
[10:59:58] <dheeraj>	 andre__: of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial#Set_Up_SSH_Keys_in_Gerrit
[11:00:56] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Did you do the "Add your SSH key to Gerrit account" step?
[11:01:26] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: yes completed
[11:02:09] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Did you add your public key or private key to Gerrit?
[11:02:30] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: yes
[11:02:43] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Which of the two?
[11:03:13] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: public
[11:03:38] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Where did you add it? 
[11:04:21] <dheeraj>	 https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ghnrpoLq/Screenshot%20from%202017-12-18%2016-33-47.png
[11:04:58] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: in wikitech
[11:05:33] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial#Add_SSH_key_to_your_Gerrit_account Did you do this step exactly?
[11:05:49] <dheeraj>	 Niharika: yes
[11:06:30] <Niharika>	 So what's the problem?
[11:08:28] <dheeraj>	 after adding private key to agent , for the next step this is the error https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Jira6eNI/
[11:11:06] <Niharika>	 dheeraj: Private? I though you said public. Is your account name spelled correctly? 
[11:14:35] <andre__>	 dheeraj, so if you go to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/settings/ssh-keys you can se your public SSH key listed?
[11:37:30] <andre__>	 dheeraj, so if you go to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/settings/ssh-keys you can se your public SSH key listed?
[17:35:21] <rp_>	 anyone here have some time to assist with mediawiki + email?
[17:38:42] <Skizzerz>	 rp_: what's going on?
[17:41:24] <rp_>	 trying to figure out why it isnt emailing
[17:42:23] <rp_>	 i installed the MAIL and NET_SMTP but its still not emailing
[17:42:39] <rp_>	 Not sure what log file i need to review in debian/ubuntu
[17:42:46] <rp_>	 to see what is going on
[17:43:18] <DanielK_WMDE_>	 !errors
[17:43:18] <wm-bot>	 To see PHP errors, add this to the very top of LocalSettings.php: error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set("display_errors", 1); Fatal PHP errors usually go to Apache's error log - also check the error_log setting in php.ini (or use phpinfo). For more details in wiki error reports, set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; $wgShowSQLErrors = true; For full debug output, set $wgDebugLogFile to some path you like.
[17:43:52] <DanielK_WMDE_>	 rp_: if that doesn't help, look at apache's logs. where they are depend on your distro. typically either /var/log/apache or syslog
[17:44:39] <Skizzerz>	 rp_: in addition to that, simply installing those things doesn't make MediaWiki automatically use them. You need to enable email features in your LocalSettings.php first if they aren't already enabled
[17:44:52] <rp_>	 yes, i have done all of that
[17:45:17] <rp_>	 ive gone through all of the steps on : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP
[17:45:26] <rp_>	 just no having any luck..
[17:45:27] <Skizzerz>	 "still not emailing" is not exactly helpful
[17:45:37] <Skizzerz>	 what, exactly, is happening when you try to send an email
[17:46:00] <Skizzerz>	 and how are you sending it?
[17:46:00] <rp_>	 Going to pull logs now and see if i find anything
[17:46:14] <rp_>	 I was just doing a user registration and testing it that way
[17:49:54] <rp_>	 is there a better way to test?
[17:51:21] <Skizzerz>	 yeah
[17:51:45] <Skizzerz>	 go to Special:Preferences and input an email address, it should send a confirmation mail and have a link to resend one
[17:51:48] <Skizzerz>	 you can keep just using that
[17:52:39] <Skizzerz>	 less work than creating a new account each time :)
[17:53:19] <rp_>	 si
[17:53:25] <rp_>	 and i guess it was working
[17:53:29] <rp_>	 i got a email!
[17:53:37] <rp_>	 lol
[17:53:38] <Skizzerz>	 check your spam folders for the previous ones maybe?
[17:54:43] <DanielK_WMDE_>	 hehehe
[17:55:32] <rp_>	 yea... i think this last change i made fixed it... 
[17:55:40] <rp_>	 changed the smtp port
[18:14:04] <rp_>	 Skizzerz: Is there a way to delete users i created to test with?
[18:14:21] <Skizzerz>	 not really
[18:14:27] <Skizzerz>	 there's an extension which can do it
[18:14:40] <Skizzerz>	 if they have no edits, maybe a maintenance script as well? need to chekc
[18:14:41] <rp_>	 hmm
[18:16:03] <rp_>	 guess i can block it
[18:16:07] <Skizzerz>	 I don't see any scripts
[18:16:15] <Skizzerz>	 well if it's you, you can just leave it alone unless the password sucked
[18:16:37] <rp_>	 yea password sucked
[18:16:39] <rp_>	 test
[18:16:40] <rp_>	 lol
[18:43:14] <bawolff>	 Yaron: Do you have a moment?
[20:04:26] <rp_>	 Thoughts on ways to disable discussions?
[20:05:40] <bawolff>	 rp_: Do you mean the "talk" namespace, or something else
[20:06:28] <rp_>	 Yes
[20:06:31] <bawolff>	 rp_: Because $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_TALK] = 'editinterface'; will be quite effective to get rid of the talk namespace
[20:06:45] <bawolff>	 But that won't neccesarily stop people from talking in other places
[20:06:59] <bawolff>	 and you can use css to hide the talk tab
[20:07:24] <bawolff>	 putting
[20:07:30] <bawolff>	  #ca-talk {display:none}
[20:07:41] <bawolff>	 in the page MediaWiki:Common.css will stop the tab  from displaying
[20:11:23] <Mindiell>	 hi there, we got an instance of mediawiki and some FuzzyBot is doing some modifications automatically
[20:11:35] <Mindiell>	 Is there a simple way to deactivate it ?
[20:19:56] <bawolff>	 FuzzyBot is part of the Translation extension
[20:20:08] <bawolff>	 *Translate extension
