[05:58:46] Is there a way for a template to inspect the parameters to the template which invoked it? [05:59:19] or for a template to forward all its parameters to another template? [06:04:16] PeterRabbit: yeah, convert it into a Lua module [07:28:41] Hi, I created a page on my mediawiki with a question mark in the title, and I did so using %3F. However, now I can't access that page even though it's listed in Special:AllPages. It has the full title with the %3F in the URL, but the page only displays the title up to the question mark and asks if I want to create that page [07:28:52] How do I handle this situation? [08:16:40] neochronomo: sounds like your rewrite rules are messed up [08:16:49] URL rewrite rules* [08:16:50] !rewrite [08:16:50] 1) Try as a fail-safe method; 2) Do not put the files into the document root; 3) Do not map the pages into the document root (see !nullpath); 4) Use different, non-overlapping paths for real files and virtual pages; 5) Do not set a RewriteBase; 6) Put all rules into the .htaccess file in the document root. See also !shorturls [08:17:13] neochronomo: assuming you don't want to debug that today, you can probably move or delete that page using the API [08:17:16] !api [08:17:16] The MediaWiki API provides direct, high-level access to the data contained in the MediaWiki databases. Client programs should be able to use the API to login, get data, and post changes. Find out more at < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API >. For client libraries in various languages, see < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_Code >. [15:15:41] In https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T58860 Only 35 matches of "dir " and also many of them have a different kind of documentation rather than provided in the description such as newer, older it appears to be ascending, descending etc [15:41:07] ? [15:45:16] Greetings everyone. I am having some issue on a new mw 1.30 installation. Initial setup has been done using XAMPP on Windows, then moved to a debian webserver. The site works at all, but api.php cannot be accessed. It ends up with a redirection error. on XAMPP, api.php worked well. (http://m59wiki.webmaus.net). Any suggenstions? [16:33:11] Hi, how do I get rid of the "Create a book" and "Download as PDF" links in the menu on the left? [16:38:23] Say I'm editing this sentence "On new server cd to vhost root and download wordpress. wp core download" While editing I'd like to highlight the fragment 'wp core download' then press a button to have it surronded by (unless there is a better inline highlighter) doable? I have visual editor and edit source available. [16:40:12] In VisualEditor if I highlight it, then pull the Insert menu selecting codeblock it doesn't fill the code block with the highlighted text. [16:41:00] GumShoe: for short code fragments, there's a tool in the formatting menu [16:41:06] rather than "Insert" menu [16:46:29] Perhaps I haven't enabled that specific option? Here is an excerpt from LocalSettings.php https://pastebin.com/n8vyrKGf [16:51:09] DrSlony: on your wiki (i.e. you control the wiki's files), or on some other wiki? [16:51:17] Skizzerz my wiki [16:51:21] Skizzerz LocalSettings? [16:51:58] yeah, uninstall whatever extension is adding those links [16:52:06] thanks [17:22:11] Do I need to enable the in the formating menu with Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar customization https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar_customization#Basic_setup [17:26:05] GumShoe: It's not a setting, the tool is called "Computer code" and is in the styling menu (between the formatting/"paragraph" one and the link button), and uses the 'code' icon from https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=icons&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop whereas the tool is called "Code block" and is in the insert menu, using a different icon. [17:27:00] GumShoe: If you're setting up a new wiki, it might be easier for your users to just use VisualEditor's wikitext mode rather than have users learn both that and the WikiEditor. [17:33:32] It's mostly just me right now. I've just upgraded two MWs and enabled VisualEditor for the first time. I'm learning both... [17:34:21] ahh code the {} I want that... [17:53:16] Well hmmm.... I have it working in VisualEditor I can highlight the desired text and pull down on style menu selecting Computer code. I'm not seeing that in the 'edit source' menus. [17:54:23] there probably isn't parity between the two modes in terms of what features are available in the toolbar [17:55:06] if you mean the edit source tab (so skipping VE) entirely, then the default toolbar is rather lackluster although extensions like WikiEditor help pick up the slack [17:55:48] I'm not seeing a 'style' menu at all in menu in the wikieditor [17:58:39] GumShoe: again, VisualEditor and the source editor are two completely different editing interfaces [17:58:42] they DO NOT have feature parity [18:00:06] @Skizzerz understood see@James_F comment above [18:00:08] if you're using the wikitext editor, you're largely expected to know wikitext [18:00:23] James_F was talking about the visual editor menu, not the wikitext editor menu [18:00:40] I think [18:01:23] because what he describes definitely does exist in the visual editor menu [18:02:46] Yup found it in the VisualEditor. [18:03:07] Check this out; "Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar customization/Librar" https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar_customization/Library [18:07:15] This is what my toolbar looks like https://pasteboard.co/H5lYrur.png [18:12:55] Suddenly thinks to self go check it out on en.wikipedia... Looks the same. Guess I"ll quit for now and return to the "toolbar customization" later. [19:47:00] Is there a way to "inherit" the settings from a different skin and make a children version for MobileFrontend? [19:48:33] Most skins allow you to "subclass" them [19:48:41] I don't know about MobileFrontend specificly [19:49:25] I managed to do it for Vector [19:49:37] but Minerva Neue seems quite more complicated. [19:59:45] I'm not seeing anything in here that would suggest extension from the skin.json schema [19:59:46] (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/2cbd34dc55d5892e4ae6cd3b26ba214658857975/docs/extension.schema.v1.json) [20:10:27] *sigh* [20:11:01] MediaWiki:Mobile.css it is then. [20:11:15] That's one unacceptable limitation tho.
