[12:23:06] brion: Hi, I have data I move from a recent unix box (mediawiki) to a window sone (with exfat)... the tar complains about filenames (images) with accents. [12:23:13] brion: I saw this recent patch from you https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/core/+/382074/2/includes/libs/filebackend/FSFileBackend.php [12:24:03] brion: wondering if that might be the explanation why, now, Mediawiki starts to store images with windows/fat forbidden characters (I do not use PHP7.1)? [12:26:47] brion: I also have read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FileBackend.php which specifically writes that filenames should be "Windows compliant". [16:09:51] Hi, is there an easy way to restrict a category and all sub-categories and pages? [16:10:08] Looked everywhere but every extension seems too complicated or no longer supported [16:10:50] I want there to be something like an IT category, Sales category, AR category, etc. [16:11:05] And not allow any users into IT except for the IT department [16:17:37] Not really, no [16:17:48] Maybe with some extesnion, but MediaWiki itself cannot [16:18:07] acro458: maybe you actually want namespaces, not categories? [16:18:17] it kind of sounds like that's what you want [16:18:22] and per-namespace restrictions are possible [16:19:37] acro458: note that read restrictions are tricky/incomplete, though. wikis are not designed to hide information... [16:19:49] restricting editing is easy enough [16:20:20] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespaceProtection [16:31:44] guess i have to read about namespaces [16:32:07] wasn't the one who set up the wiki. Don't even know what namespaces are [16:41:24] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words/es [W0OQDQpAADwAADjy56AAAABG] 2018-07-09 16:40:46: Excepción grave de tipo "Exception" [16:42:32] Wiki-1776, https://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug [16:42:41] I'm betting that's a known issue [17:06:13] hi,i [17:07:52] i've strange question, first - im not familiar with mediawiki skins. second - i trying to help friend with his wiki (wrote his skin). he wrote it on 1.28 and trying to run it on 1.31 [17:08:42] when im trying to edit any page (when clicking on "edit" button on the menu) its seems like im not logged in (but i am). when ive try to enter the url manually its works [17:09:26] the only different was that i've wrote the address with "www." prefix, there is any routing\code that may use that and cause the difference? [17:17:44] niso: I do not know the exact rules, but the domain is important when dealing with cookies. [17:19:37] Basically, if you logged in on www.something.foo, your session will probably not be valid on just something.foo, i.e. links to something.foo will appear to log you out [17:22:28] ty:)
