[04:40:48] I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask this question as it is about the api. But I am trying to get a list of all the images on a page using generator=prefixsearch and either prop=pageprops or prop=images and neither one seems to work but they both work with titles=bla is provided directly. Any help would be appreciated. [09:05:08] Morning [09:05:15] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Speedway_event_7p/p&action=history [09:05:27] When used this template gets flagged up for Bad nesting.. [09:05:34] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_European_Pairs_Speedway_Championship [09:05:46] I can't see WHERE or WHY this should be occuring [09:05:50] Explanation? [09:06:38] what is "Bad nesting" [09:07:53] "Misnested tag" [09:08:19] I.e an HTML tag gets generated where the content model says it shouldn't [09:08:43] Or you have somethign like if I recall [09:09:08] The template concerned is hard to read due to the expr it uses.. [09:09:54] I can't see where that situation has arisen [09:11:29] Having to revert changes SEVERAL time because the parser is overly pedantic is frustrating. [09:36:38] ShakespeareFan00: What makes you think it has a misnested tag? [09:37:30] If you don't link pedantic parsers and prefer unreadable templates, just ignore that it has a misnested tag? I don't get it. [09:37:36] s/link/like/ [13:48:09] does anyone know of anywhere in MediaWiki were we do a multiselect on pages/titles? (or a single select for that matter)? [14:11:32] I found HTMLTitleTextField which doesn't allow multiple values, but it's close to what I'm looking for [14:49:40] am I crazy or are the perms 755 not permissive enough for the upload directory for some extensions? [15:10:07] davidwbarratt: Special:ApiSandbox [15:10:26] the title parameter for action=query, for example [15:16:07] wmat: 755 is sufficient, provided the directory is owned by the user that your webserver is running as [15:24:54] Skizzerz: it is [15:25:18] i'm sure it's me :/ [15:29:57] CreateAccount is not letting me approve account after upgrading :/ [15:31:20] did you run update.php? [15:31:32] always run that after upgrading, including upgrading extensions [15:32:21] yep, always do [15:35:26] i'll poke at it more [15:38:08] Could not open lock file for "mwstore://accountreqs-backend/accountreqs-public/e/el/eli/elinux:acctrequest:ip:199.187.160.250" [15:38:49] is accountreqs-public a real directory? I see accountreqs [16:23:53] hi. Could anyone please help with a strange error that causes 500 HTTP error? [16:24:06] 2018-08-27 16:19:42 mw2 jadtechwiki: [-] /wiki/- Error from line 1052 of /srv/mediawiki/w/extensions/CentralAuth/includes/CentralAuthHooks.php: Call to a member function getCanonicalServer() on null [16:27:01] Fixed, sorry for bothering [17:33:35] tgr ooo! thanks! [18:08:01] tgr hmm, yeah it allows multiple values, but no auto select or anything like that.. interesting [18:11:37] davidwbarratt: if you are looking for autocomplete, I'd check category handling in VisualEditor maybe [18:12:01] tgr ah yes. thanks you [18:16:15] davidwbarratt: if you are looking for non-multiselect examples as well, Special:RecentChangesLinked has a very fancy one and Special:CiteThisPage a more plain [18:16:30] nice! thanks!
