[02:39:47] <lasdam>	 hi, is there a way to grant a certain group of users access to create and edit pages only within their own userspace?
[02:47:01] <FoxT>	 lasdam: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespaceProtection
[02:48:30] <bawolff>	 Namespace protection wouldnt exactly do that
[02:48:54] <bawolff>	 You would probably need a small extension
[02:49:01] <bawolff>	 !hook UserCan
[02:49:02] <wm-bot>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/UserCan
[02:49:36] <FoxT>	 bawolff: Wouldn it work to restrict all namespaces and leave one open?
[02:49:56] <bawolff>	 !hook userCan
[02:49:56] <wm-bot>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/userCan
[02:50:06] <bawolff>	 (guess u is lowercase)
[02:51:05] <bawolff>	 i think what lasdam wants is users to only edit subpages of the user - so i could only edit things starting with User:bawolff/
[02:51:54] <bawolff>	 and you would only be able to edit stuff starting with User:FoxT/
[02:52:17] <FoxT>	 bawolff: Ah, I read userspace as namespace. Time to sleep, I guess. 
[02:53:27] <FoxT>	 Although I am surprised there is no extension for that yet. I am sure I have seen that idea before.
[02:57:45] <FoxT>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserPageEditProtection
[03:01:36] <lasdam>	 :o!
[03:23:06] <lasdam>	 seems to be working! thank you so much FoxT and bawolff !
[03:30:38] <lasdam>	 was giving myself ulcers looking for a wiki or cms all day that could do this with the necessary wiki functionality and was just about to give up and going to try to write the application myself
[03:31:03] <lasdam>	 believe it or not
[12:16:26] <mediawikinoob>	 Hi, guys! I would like to know where the page content of a wikipage is stored. I checked the database in phpMyAdmin but every single table was empty.
[12:52:06] <Ivy>	 Hi mediawikinoob.
[12:52:10] <Ivy>	 !schema
[12:52:10] <wm-bot>	 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_layout
[12:52:17] <Ivy>	 The `text` table has the page content.
[12:52:27] <Ivy>	 But depending on what you're doing, you should probably be using api.php or something.
[12:52:54] <Ivy>	 The `revision` table has metadata about each revision, including a pointer to the text blob.
[13:15:04] <tgr_>	 mediawikinoob: depending on configuration, it might be anywhere
[13:16:01] <tgr_>	 See ExternalStore specifically
[13:16:28] <tgr_>	 But usually it's in the text table
[13:59:46] <zodd>	 hi. How do I link to a paragraph within the same page please?
[14:01:14] <zodd>	 nm: typo
[14:07:59] <kevindank>	 Anyway to have a User Profile setup other then SocialProfile
[14:08:18] <kevindank>	 ideally i would be able to define fields for users to fill out 
[15:43:34] <kevindank>	 anyone aware of a Contributors extension that outputs list of contributors that still works with 1.3
[16:05:28] <flying_sausages>	 hey guys I'm wondering how to make a template to retrieve just one line from a table on a page. I have a couple pages for VMs in one category and they all have a table row for "reboot time" and I'd like to make one table from that. Any suggestions?
[16:08:16] <harmaahylje>	 flying_sausages: are you talking about database rows or tables on a wiki page?
[16:10:14] <DaemonD>	 So I gave $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; but it does not allow me to upload files not in the $wgFileExtensions = array(
[16:10:18] <DaemonD>	 is this a bug?
[16:11:02] <flying_sausages>	 harmaahylje, tables in a wiki :)
[16:13:41] <Platonides>	 DaemonD: what extension were you trying?
[16:14:32] <DaemonD>	 Platonides: i am using msupload via wikieditor
[16:14:40] <Platonides>	 was the extension in $wgFileBlacklist?
[16:14:44] <DaemonD>	 no
[16:14:50] <DaemonD>	 i only set .exe in blacklist
[16:14:50] <Platonides>	 is $wgCheckFileExtensions set?
[16:15:09] <DaemonD>	 $wgCheckFileExtensions = false;
[16:15:38] <DaemonD>	 i am on latest stable release
[16:17:27] <DaemonD>	 MsUpload is version 12.0 (a77b492)
[16:18:29] <DaemonD>	 WikiEditor lastest stable 0.5.1
[16:20:10] <Platonides>	 try with Special:Upload
[16:30:27] <DaemonD>	 Platonides: it works with Special:Upload!@!!
[16:30:32] <DaemonD>	 interesting
[16:31:43] <DaemonD>	 What does it mean? Only that MsUpload is affected?
[16:37:19] <DaemonD>	 actually i had older version of MsUpload I upgraded it to latest
[16:37:25] <DaemonD>	 but still same issue
[16:43:35] <Platonides>	 then it seems a bug in MsUpload
[16:50:34] <DaemonD>	 Platonides: thanks at least we narrowed it down. ANy known fix?
[17:11:24] <Platonides>	 DaemonD: I'm not familiar with MsUpload
[17:12:02] <DaemonD>	 It's great for uplading large number of files and quite convenient to upload right away.
[17:12:11] <DaemonD>	 You always go through the special:upload?
[17:13:59] <Platonides>	 I'm used to the old ways :P
[17:14:12] <Platonides>	 though I don't upload that much
[17:14:58] <DaemonD>	 I am trying to get several teams to start contributing to the org. wiki so the simpler the better
[17:16:03] <hexmode[m]>	 DaemonD: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleBatchUpload works pretty well
[17:19:27] <hexmode[m]>	 it supports drag-n-drop uploading.
[17:21:26] <DaemonD>	 hexmode[m]: thanks, is it also easy to add the batch files to the page like in msupload?
[17:23:08] <hexmode[m]>	 I haven't use msupload, but, yes, you can grab a bunch of files and drag them in.
[17:23:17] <hexmode[m]>	 It is easy to install, though, so you should try it out and make sure.
[17:23:58] <FoxT>	 DaemonD: hexmode[m]: IIRC MsUpload has some wikieditor widget that will insert the files into the wikitext. SimplewBatchUpload does not do that.
[17:25:09] <hexmode[m]>	 FoxT: DaemonD If that is what you need, then you should install VisualEditor since it does that
[17:25:23] <hexmode[m]>	 Not sure it does multiple uploads, though.
[17:26:43] <DaemonD>	 visual editor only accepts jpg afaik
[17:31:17] <Platonides>	 I find that strange
[17:43:12] <hexmode[m]>	 Pretty sure VE doesn't only take jpg... Let me test
[17:54:20] <hexmode[m]>	 DaemonD: takes png and svg.  gif seems to not work, 
[17:54:39] <hexmode[m]>	 and that might be a config thing
[17:59:09] <hexmode[m]>	 nm, gifs worked
[18:48:28] <DaemonD>	 hexmode[m]: yeah i meant images. not zip or wahtever
