[00:06:03] These log messages are largely coming up in response to queries on the `jobs`, `page` and `objectcache` tables. Was there some setup I had to do to support multiple PHP hosts touching the same database? [00:06:56] BurningPrincess: ok [00:07:04] BurningPrincess: did you find the correct place? [00:07:08] BurningPrincess: is it working correctly now? [00:07:43] BurningPrincess: you can rename /var/www/mediawiki-1.32.0 to /var/www/wiki/ for prettier url [00:07:48] BurningPrincess: but it does not matter a lot, you can adjust the url in your webserver later [00:08:54] kitb_: it does not look like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Shared_database has anything useful for you, does it? [00:10:11] Sveta: is this for multiple wikis using one database? I have one wiki across multiple app servers and one database [00:12:50] Sveta: I found the right place, had some problems with Localsettings.php not being found, solved problem by deleting mediawiki files, getting a new tar.gz and unpacking that into the right dir [00:13:09] BurningPrincess: ok [00:13:30] ]Thank you helping [00:22:42] kitb_: if you don't get a response here, please ask at the project desk or at the mailing list, and share the solution here. not sure I can find it straight away now [00:23:15] Sveta: alright. thanks for looking for me :) [00:24:32] project desk does seem like a better place to ask. i'm gonna have to head out in a bit and don't have a bouncer [00:30:09] kitb_: no worries [01:53:19] Hello. I have used Mediawiki for years. i have just installed xampp with bitnami mediawiki. Installation went smooth, used defaults. does not work. It actually displays as and the things following are parsed as markup. [01:54:04] I'm not finding anything seaching the help site [01:54:22] I'm on Windows 10 [02:53:52] hello? [04:21:35] Hello everyone, I would like to ask about the project "Better understand the impact of content translation tools" and where can I start contributing for this project? [04:34:54] this is a good place [04:35:03] thank you for coming [04:39:48] Sveta: thanks, I would like to know, where can I find the documentation about the project, I have been using Python and Jupyter-Notebook for some time now. [05:32:03] hi again [05:32:29] if you login to outreachy, you will see more details [05:52:15] Sveta: the project details are hidden even after logging in. The only details available are the skill description. It will be helpful to get more details! [05:56:39] hmm [05:58:06] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_18 [05:58:23] Mentors Isaac Johnson [05:58:37] @Isaac (IRC channel: #wikimedia-research) [05:59:34] I think their nick on irc is 'isaacj', and you should join the #wikimedia-research channel to speak with them [06:24:33] Sveta: thank you very much for the information. i will try to contact @Isaac on #wikimedia-research. [06:36:53] hello wikipedians [06:37:43] Would anyone be interested in sitting for an interview as part of my documentary? [07:26:48] @Senthilsaivam posted in Issue with unrelated recommendation as part of Related Pages for an article about machines - https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/t/issue-with-unrelated-recommendation-as-part-of-related-pages-for-an-article-about-machines/1228/1 [08:12:14] hi, i am currently running mediawiki 1.31.1. I want to upgrade to newest version. Is there an easy way to do that? [08:15:52] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading [08:16:20] cleanup; backup; install new files; run update scripts [08:16:42] and don't forget your extensions [11:52:16] how to push a Bugfix for mediawiki? [11:52:37] Can someone give me the link to the right documentation? [13:15:50] hello all, I would like to separate the MediaWiki software from the configuration and content file of my wiki instance. the goal is to make it easier to upgrade the software and to support two wikis running o nthe same software without copying it. does MediaWiki support this somehow? [13:46:20] rp2: See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family ... although I would suggest you try out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meza since it aims to greatly simplify this process [13:46:57] aaah [13:47:16] great, thank you [13:52:41] I'm not sure about meza ... it adds another layer we need to know about [14:58:52] I'm not sure what you mean by "need to know about". It's open source, so you can inspect everything that is going on. And the documentation is always improving to try to help users. There is a riot channel where you can ask for help. In my opinion, it's worth using because it simplifies the install, upgrade, and configuration process, it standardizes your config, and provides ways to use revision control on your [14:58:53] config. [15:13:57] Are MediaWiki versons supported indefinitely or for a certain amount of time? [15:15:59] BurningPrincess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_version_history [15:17:25] Thank you andre__ [15:17:34] yw [15:19:03] Looks like a year and half to two years of support is that right? [15:22:38] BurningPrincess, depends on the version [15:22:49] LTS versions are longer [15:23:01] * BurningPrincess nods [15:23:52] I doubt my compter will last untill the currant LTS verson of MW is unsupported./ [15:24:26] How often are LTS verson's relesed? [15:59:56] darenwelsh[m], what I mean that, great as it may be, I and my colleagues will need to learn about it when it is used [16:00:31] thus far we only have a handful of wikis [16:00:43] another question: Is there any way to write text that is conditional on the hostname? [16:01:46] I'm trying to use {{#switch: {{canonicalurl:Help}} | ... }} but it doesn't seem to work. It looks as if {{canonicalurl}} isn't being expanded in time [17:47:43] I found something in the docs for #ifeq to explain it, but nothing on how to fix it [20:25:39] Are questions about cargo ok here? Or is there a better place? (Question is, can I use cargo on an existing wiki withouth breaking the current system. can cargo be removed withouth damage (and will it clean it's tables?), and are nested page forms possible? [20:39:31] What is the ultimate and most complete formatting resource for wikitext on a basic mediawiki installation hosted on shoutwiki.com [20:39:55] I found this https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents is there anything else that is more complete? [20:40:10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style ? [20:48:34] julientm: that first link is probably the best [20:48:50] thank you Skizzerz [20:49:17] (/me pings ashley in case there's a better resource) [20:52:11] hi! MediaWiki.org has hopefully quite a bit of public domain help pages on MediaWiki, and they apply to ShoutWiki as well because we at ShoutWiki use MediaWiki (and update our version regularly!); we have some help pages of our own as well, which you'll find at http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Help:Contents or at [[Help:Contents]] on your ShoutWiki site (or its localized equivalent, provided your wiki is in Finnish (fi), French (fr), Dutch (nl) or [20:52:12] a few other supported languages to which help pages have been translated) [20:58:43] @ashley, thank you! [21:01:14] julientm, no problem :) if you ever need staff assistance, let us know via [[Special:Contact]] or directly by emailing support< at >shoutwiki.com and we'll be more than happy to help you out! [21:01:26] awesome
