[12:56:59] <niso>	 hi, i have a lots of files uploaded to my wiki, some of them has unique prefix, there is a way to add all of those with the unique prefix to new category?
[13:02:21] <Vulpix>	 niso: Pywikibot could do that nicely
[13:02:31] <Vulpix>	 !pywikibot
[13:02:31] <wm-bot>	 pywikibot is a bot framework written in Python that allows for easier automated actions on a wiki. For more information, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot>. For alternatives, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code>. We're in #pywikibot if you want to chat :)
[13:08:44] <niso>	 yea, ive searched for builtin option (so new pages will be added also)
[13:12:26] <yeehi>	 Hello! I would like MediaWiki to support by default the downloading of the Wiki for offline usage. This would be useful for people with poor internet access, for example. It could be achieved by integrating into the wiki a link to a .zim file, which could be browsed using Kiwix. https://kiwix.org. Kiwix are on Freenode: #kiwix
[13:17:29] <yeehi>	 https://github.com/openzim/mediawiki-docker
[13:24:42] <yeehi>	 MediaWiki developers might be able to use the following explanation to integrate .zim support into MediaWikis; http://www.openzim.org/wiki/Build_your_ZIM_file
[13:27:52] <yeehi>	 There is a tool to dump a MediaWiki for offline use already: https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner
[21:17:03] <bleb>	 wikipedia's new feature that displays a preview of a page when you mouseover - that a mediawiki feature?  or specific to wikipedia?
[21:20:35] <biberao>	 you can enable it in preferences i believe
[21:23:13] <bleb>	 this has information about how a user would enable/disable https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_Previews#Settings
[21:23:31] <bleb>	 but i was wondering if it's enabled by default on the server side
[21:24:53] <bleb>	 or like how would i enable/disable it via a config file
[21:26:02] <biberao>	 you can deny server side but it seems preference override it or somethig
[21:26:32] <bleb>	 do you know which version first had it on by default?
[21:27:01] <bleb>	 freebsd has versions 1.27, 1.29, 1.30, 1.31
[21:27:21] <biberao>	 im using 1.30 and 1.31
[21:27:48] <bleb>	 so i'm just wondering what would be the latest version which would not include the feature and/or would not require me to manually disable it
[21:29:44] <biberao>	 dont know
[21:29:45] <quiddity>	 bleb, it's an extension, just don't install it :)  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups
[21:30:17] <bleb>	 oh sweet
[21:30:25] <bleb>	 thanks
[21:30:49] <biberao>	 i forgot about that
[21:30:50] <biberao>	 :X
[23:10:45] <bleb>	 one more thing.  realistically how much of a danger is it to run an unsupported version of mediawiki?
[23:11:00] <bleb>	 i notice sites often run unsupported versions, e.g.
[23:11:02] <bleb>	 http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
[23:11:11] <bleb>	 http://tmbw.net/wiki/Main_Page
[23:11:20] <bleb>	 running 1.15 and 1.25 respectively
[23:11:27] <andre__>	 You are vulnerable to lots of security issues.
[23:11:46] <bleb>	 so somebody could easily hack hrwiki.org?
[23:12:07] <andre__>	 See the ChangeLogs of any newer versions released and see the security issues fixed in each versions.
[23:12:53] <andre__>	 I don't know each and every parameter / configuration setting of hrwiki.org, so I cannot easily say.
[23:13:11] <biberao>	 scribunto proc_open is awful
[23:13:29] <bleb>	 ok
[23:13:56] <bleb>	 and i guess its possible that someone running an unsupported version patches those vulnerabilities themselves
[23:20:05] <Krenair>	 for an old version of MediaWiki it's quite easy to go through the security announcements since the old version and figure out exactly what known attacks there are
[23:25:56] <Platonides>	 that seems a bit unlikely
[23:26:18] <Platonides>	 maybe, if it is installed as a package, and patched by the distro...
[23:26:48] <Platonides>	 mediawiki vulnerabilities are generally not too bad
[23:27:04] <Platonides>	 still, 1.15 is *ancient*
[23:27:39] <Platonides>	 1.15: released 2009-06-10
[23:28:23] <biberao>	 anyway to run wikipedia's modules without proc_open permitted?
[23:29:14] <Platonides>	 you mean Lua ?
[23:30:32] <biberao>	 yes
[23:31:20] <Platonides>	 that's Scribunto extension
[23:31:26] <Platonides>	 and it seems to need proc_open
[23:31:28] <Platonides>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto#Lua_binary
[23:31:56] <biberao>	 but it seems to be exploitable often
[23:32:55] <Platonides>	 proc_open is a function that allows running programs
[23:33:47] <biberao>	 yes
[23:33:55] <biberao>	 but for some reason its usually blocked
[23:34:26] <Platonides>	 a computer where you can't install or run any new program will be safer
[23:34:35] <Platonides>	 since you won't be able to run a virus
[23:34:41] <Platonides>	 yet it will be more limited, too
[23:34:49] <biberao>	 well
[23:35:01] <biberao>	 ive seen a nice PoC for it
[23:35:14] <Platonides>	 MediaWiki usage of proc_open is safe
[23:35:54] <Platonides>	 and it's just a tool
[23:36:24] <biberao>	 there are tools too
