[00:07:31] <black_13>	 does media wiki run on mysql or maria
[00:07:46] <black_13>	 or a maria and mysql functionally similar
[00:16:55] <bd808>	 black_13: its should work with either. No major difference from the point of view of MediaWiki
[00:17:24] <bd808>	 black_13: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MySQL
[00:18:12] <black_13>	 thanks
[00:18:37] <black_13>	 is there are particular version of mariadb that i should use
[00:18:41] <black_13>	 or should be used
[00:20:01] <black_13>	 one of the things i found is that importing the sql an xml dumps was incredibly slow on my laptop but i have access to an 8 core machine with 64 GB of mem
[00:21:41] <bd808>	 black_13: the current requirement is "MySQL 5.5.8+", so MariaDB 5.5+ as well
[00:21:52] <black_13>	 ok
[00:23:21] <bd808>	 It looks like we are using 10.1.36 for the Wikimedia production wikis these days -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version#Installed_software
[00:24:25] <black_13>	 my ubuntu machine is at 10 something
[03:22:59] <black_13>	 bd808: is there an order to import the sql files from the latest dump into the database

[06:27:49] <legoktm>	 well...
[06:39:09] <shauno>	 to be fair, that's how my brain operates at 6am too.
[18:47:04] <danyill_>	  hi. I've found my way here from the https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Errors_and_warnings page. I'm working on a deploy of Mediawiki with Visual Editor. While VE works, images are sometimes missing. I've traced through the Parsoid output and see for some (but not all) images I am receiving a "apierror-unknownerror". I'm looking for a few pointers on where to look next -- happy to be redirected to a more appropriate place.
[18:54:03] <legoktm>	 hi danyill_
[18:54:19] <legoktm>	 danyill_: for parsoid issues, asking in #mediawiki-parsoid might give you some better results
[19:10:09] <danyill_>	 Thanks @legoktm I'll try that
[19:19:32] <niso>	 hi, i saw several options, what is the best option to disable registration until the new user email is verified?
[19:23:11] <niso>	 and an antispam extension?
[20:26:17] <de-facto>	 When I would like to write a new mediawiki extension for embedding 3D WebGL models (with Three.js) and my models consist of a quadruple of files (model.obj, model.mtl, model,jpg, model.preview.jpg), how do I manage this quadruple of files internally?
[20:26:39] <de-facto>	 Afaik mediawiki uses single file media e.g. images, videos etc
[21:56:15] <Operator873>	 Question for the room... I have a dark theme interface and in edit mode, the disclosures at the bottom are still in black font and thus, not readable. Where can I change this... if at all?
[21:56:26] <Operator873>	 https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/U1gL2NjM/image.png
[21:59:18] <Platonides>	 the css?
[21:59:22] <quiddity>	 Operator873,  this CSS should do it:  .editOptions {color:white}
[22:00:32] <quiddity>	 Operator873, you may want to look through this (ancient) Enwiki gadget to see what else it tweaks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Blackskin.css  (though it isn't perfect either)
[22:01:16] <Operator873>	 quiddity: That did it. Awesome! Thank you very much
[22:38:46] <Banaticus>	 http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Lashing is essentially three pages transcluded on another page.  There's a link before the first transclusion, "Main article: blah" -- why don't the other two sections also have a similar main article link?
