[06:16:54] hi [06:17:24] need some quick help [09:21:09] Hello someone here? [09:21:10] Hi Andryv, I am here, if you need anything, please ask, otherwise no one is going to help you... Thank you [09:22:14] Can someone help me? [09:22:14] Hi Andryv, just ask! There is no need to ask if you can ask, if you already asked the question please wait for someone to respond [15:05:48] Howdy. I installed CirrusWiki on a janky Mediawiki instance I launched in EC2. I guess our real wiki at work has issues with search. [15:06:30] CirrusWiki install looks ok. I see it talking to ElasticSearch but is there like...a concise list of benefits I should be testing to see if it's an improvement? [15:06:39] CirrusSearch, sorry. [15:07:48] stemming is the big one [15:08:13] so searching for "searching" will give results that include the word "search", "searching", "searched", "searches", etc. [15:08:46] I'm kind of examining that now :) [15:08:52] you should also be able to search for short words (default mysql search only looks at 4+ letter words, you should be able to correctly search for 2-3 letter words now) [15:09:25] Ultimately the answer (with any wiki) is "we need a community of people to care about it." [15:09:45] If I have just one mediawiki server do I need to jump through the hoops of creating a three-node ES cluster? [15:09:55] Or is one sufficient? I have a feeling that that's up to me. [15:09:59] how big is the wiki? [15:10:07] I'd say smallish [15:10:14] a cluster is probably overkill [15:10:19] That's what I thought. [15:10:34] I should probably back up ES regularly though [15:27:05] Does anyone know an alternative for https://m.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=1692885? (DynamicFubctions)? [15:27:22] Someone said JavaScript before but that's unmaintained [15:46:22] hi [15:48:20] having some issues with imagemagick [15:57:25] only seems to affect svg's and i get the error "convert.bin: not authorized " [15:58:48] Hmm. Thats a new error. Havent heard that one before [15:59:14] try seeing if you can convert svgs from commandline [16:07:00] hmm [16:07:16] getting an " No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2701." [16:07:23] the file is there and everything else is fine [16:08:20] make sure that permissions are correct [16:09:39] what should they be at [16:09:43] a-x right [16:10:18] u+r at the very least [16:10:24] the file you're converting from needs to be readable by the user running imagemagick. The file/location you're converting to needs to be writable by the user running it [16:12:00] if the permissions are correct, check your imagemagick config to ensure that the thing you're trying to do isn't disabled [16:14:07] (imagemagick config being policy.xml) [16:15:52] what would i be looking for, it looks pretty default [16:17:55] Sometimes rsvg can be compiled to shell out to rsvg. Maybe it was compiled that way and you are missing rsvg [16:18:09] although id expect a different error message [16:19:29] hecc: see if there's entries in policy.xml for MSVG, SVG, or MVG [16:19:34] and if the access is set to "none" [16:19:43] if it is, try deleting or commenting out those lines [16:20:58] I believe that recent versions of imagemagick disable svg by default for security reasons [16:22:05] (so keep that in mind if you do enable them; it may be best to use something else to convert svgs instead of imagemagick) [16:25:51] Reception123: Have you tried the last version before archival? [16:28:34] i removed the MVG line from the policy.xml and it half works, the svg isn't displaying colors or anything it's just the outline [16:29:36] Default svg renderer in image magick is pretty terrible depending on compile options [16:30:40] i wish default things didn't suck [16:34:06] okay looks like i already have librsvg installed [16:35:12] You can tell mediawiki to use rsvg directly [16:35:24] !wg SVGConverters [16:35:24] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgSVGConverters [16:36:07] Although i think in recent versions the rsvg binary changed its name [16:56:00] FoxT: The thing is we prefer to install maintained extensions, that's why I was looking for an alternative [16:57:27] Reception123: Well, adopt it then. :D [16:57:48] FoxT: Ok :) [16:59:44] wow [16:59:46] i figured it out [17:00:02] and it was totally unrelated [17:01:11] Reception123: FWIW, I don't know what you want to use this for, but that extensions will have a performance hit on the wiki (it turns off caching). Other than that it seems at least safe to use at a quick glance. [17:01:50] FoxT: Oh,thanks for letting me know. I don't know either :P I [17:02:03] A user on our wiki farm is requesting it [17:02:39] nvm i celebrated too early [17:03:13] now i [17:03:18] i'm getting "Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: /usr/local/bin/rsvg-convert" [17:10:42] 1-click save with VE - How does one turn off the pop-up dialog box when you save a page with Visual Editor? [17:18:16] bawolff: do you know why this would happen? [17:18:17] https://ixwiki.com/wiki/File:Test.svg [17:42:40] * revansx[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/zBnNliwTSfWLmRjIUOqPWRmW > [18:02:39] is there a spelling correction extension that would correct searches like Google does? That's the one thing I'm testing out that fails. [18:02:57] If I'm going to change our wiki might as well include that, too :) [19:18:43] Hello. For you what caracterizes something as non-commercial? [19:20:58] ? [19:22:35] seujow[m]: All of our software & content is allowed to be used for commercial purposes, so its not something that's really relevant to us [19:56:40] hi all. is there a way to change the number of pages listed on a category page? i have a script that pulls a list of changes off of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SystemWideChange but it only gets the first 200 entries. i'd like to force a single page listing somehow [19:57:03] bcotton: Ouch [19:57:10] Why are you screen scraping when there's an API? [19:58:03] reedy: because i'm trying to get through another week or two of using this inherited script before i switch to a different process for tracking the changes [19:58:45] https://fedoraproject.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmlimit=max&cmtitle=Category:SystemWideChange [19:59:55] bcotton: Do you have access to change the mediawiki config? [19:59:56] !wg CategoryPagingLimit [19:59:56] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgCategoryPagingLimit [20:00:21] Looks like you only need to set it to 300 or so atm [20:01:16] Reedy: thanks. i don't have access, but i can ask our infra team. i'm looking to see how difficult it will be to change the script to use the API. it seems like it may be manageable [20:01:44] Reedy: i appreciate the help! [20:01:57] Personally, I'd stop the screen scraping ;) [20:02:45] There's other formats too (like xml and such) if you don't care for json [20:03:04] well in about 2 more weeks, i'm going to switch to using an issue tracker for this particular process, so it's a question of how much time do i spend? knowing me, the answer is almost certainly "more than i need to" :-) [20:03:21] If you can get someone to change the wiki config, that should just fix your problem [20:03:42] They literally need to add `$wgCategoryPagingLimit = 500;` (without the backticks obvs) to LocalSettings.php [20:05:14] cool. i may just do that. [22:37:08] Hello! Well, I work for a science communication magazine and I want to interview someone in the Wikipedia Organization. Do you know what's the best option to contact someone inside Wikipedia? [22:38:06] Sorry for my spelling, English isn't my native language. [22:39:54] agiraldoceron: checkout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us [22:44:52] Thanks legoktm! [22:45:00] np
