[03:20:53] 10 Print "Hi, I had an wiki account I made 2013 with this nick. Forgot pass. Anything I can do? [03:21:17] Load "Question to wiki people", 8,1 [03:24:02] Anyone up to help a noob to get wiki account back, or tell me "create a newone *badword* [03:26:40] This almost looks like the old Mirc. Or a Zmud client :p. neato. I just wanna keep my nick on Wiki. Possible? [03:30:07] If someone helps me, Ill give you a number to a swedish blond =). [03:59:14] Kurnn: do you know the email associated with it? [03:59:35] how about an intelligent brunett? [03:59:35] If so you can do password reset (dont need the nick) [03:59:44] hey. I didnt add an email back then. thats what the wiki tells me too [04:00:30] I could keep try different passowrds, but it was 2013, and I am a computernerd from the 80ies...I dont use the same passes :p [04:00:51] Oh i thought you said you forgot username? [04:00:56] and no password management app? [04:01:02] username is Kurnn [04:01:12] app, in 2013? :p [04:01:18] no [04:01:39] So basically if you can prove its yours with a high degree confidence we can give it back to you [04:01:53] last time i printed my 3 to 100 char passwords and logins, i used 40 sheets. Does not seem you are that much form the 80s [04:01:56] how can you prove you are you ? [04:01:56] ok sir How can I prove that? [04:02:10] High degree confidence basically means you are friends irl with someone in high places [04:02:21] hey! I am from 9+ies but one of the gamers! not you coders! [04:02:40] 80ies [04:03:04] yah. pgp digital cert? digital sig? 512 shasum at least? static ip? [04:03:07] anything [04:03:08] You fight like a dairy farmer! (that prove I am from 80ies?) [04:03:38] nope. I had the same ISP from 2000 - 2019-03-01. [04:03:42] so new IP now [04:03:51] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Password_reset/Confirming_identities is our internal docs [04:03:52] what if you are trying to social engineer us to get axx to someone elses account? [04:04:25] and why not just create a new acc ? [04:04:36] Fo you have any functins, rutines, ways to screen that out? [04:05:03] It rarely works out unless you have like some super active admin to vouch for you that everyone knows [04:05:04] I did one post...one thing. so its not the whole wrold. but I want my nick. I had Kurnn, since 2001 in RPGMMOs =) [04:05:42] well... 90's you say ... right? ... ummm... millennial, correct? [04:05:58] so here are some bad news. if you cannot prove that you is you. [04:06:02] that I dont have. this is the first time I "talk" to anyone in the wiki world. I use wiki like the rest 250 million people. but Id like an account now since it keeps track of me [04:06:06] 80ies! [04:06:07] you aint getting it. [04:06:12] Maybe we would be less stringent if nobody has used the account and you clearly use that name elsewhere [04:06:17] I played Pong! [04:06:36] it hasnt been logged in since 2013. and only once I think [04:06:38] me [04:06:40] same thing 80's 90 's. security != entitlement :P [04:06:52] not same thing! [04:07:02] oh [04:07:11] i played with 8bit, 16bit, 49k and 128k computers and modded their hardware. [04:07:19] I sold Sun Microsofystem in the 90ies, I know solaris ;) [04:07:22] do you remember those days? :P [04:07:35] and how that companiy died 2003 when oracle bought em [04:07:47] Kurnn: it may qualify as a usurpation request maybe [04:07:47] of course! [04:07:58] listen man. Basic common sense. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Password_reset/Confirming_identities is all you need [04:07:58] I had C64 first. 86, I think [04:08:12] 2 years later. Amiga 500....wow [04:08:37] next time start using pgp and digital sigs. No matter what changes, if you have a keypair, you will always be you [04:08:43] -91, PC in my dads office with Dos6 and ...Win 3.1? (WRF should I do with this?) [04:09:13] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Kurnn no edits, probably could get a usurpation [04:09:24] I understad. But when I made the wiki, I didnt really consider that account "very important to be secure" [04:09:30] listen, youngster... or in your words 'ma'man' Just make another account. [04:09:36] youngster? [04:09:52] yes. between me and you. of course. [04:09:55] ;) [04:09:59] Sir, whats the code to the dungeon in Maniac mansion? [04:10:07] so you made the wiki? Where you cannot login? [04:10:14] Kurnn: read through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations [04:10:17] the accont Kurn. yes [04:10:27] Kurnn:pokes and cheats now? those days are gone. [04:10:41] okay, which wiki are you talking about ? since you made a wiki. [04:10:50] I checked all help already. I didnt make any Kurnn/page [04:11:06] I only eedited. added on one wiki page with Kurnn, pass. thats it [04:11:16] shows the url [04:11:37] I didnt make a wiki page [04:11:42] I edited/added to one [04:11:57] show. [04:12:21] moment...it poped upwhen I tried to log in. [04:12:54] You may also get better help at a wikipedia specific channel like #wikipedia-en-help [04:13:10] you are not even registered here or logged with with an ssl/tls certificate and fingerprint. you could be anyone. [04:13:14] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Kurnn [04:13:38] Im sorry, but I wasnt sure where to start to ask. =) [04:13:48] well [04:13:56] on wikimedia ? [04:13:59] I can register here...its not my wiki? [04:14:08] non is your wiki man [04:14:34] unless you self host one, none is yours. on others, you are a contributor. [04:14:44] I chcked all the wiki help for users "help to log in etc". this is my last port of call....before I create a new account and DONT get my nick! [04:14:55] okay [04:15:01] contributor....sure [04:15:02] so... first thing to do, young man, is to move all this energy towards wikimedia admins [04:15:14] Nick registration isnt enough to prove identity so thats a moot point.... [04:15:40] bawolff: of course not. unless he uses the same cert fp on all his stuff. [04:15:42] (Freenode nick registration that is) [04:15:45] call me young man again, and Ill hit you with my magic staff+10 from Ultima 3 (1982) [04:16:29] my IP is not the same as 2013, it was! until I got a new ip just a few months ago. I had the same from 2000 - 2019 =). same email too [04:16:41] a certificate sig/fp key pair will work anywhere to help prove ID. [04:17:07] what, is that. [04:17:09] okay young man... there is nothing else we can do for you. You need to annoy the wikimedia admins [04:17:12] do I have one? [04:17:16] nononono [04:17:18] no. you do not. [04:17:27] if you say its not possible...I ll just create a newaccount [04:17:52] but you can start looking for openpgp key pair, create one and use it as per need. [04:18:16] but kurnn is ME in Everquest, Anarchy online, Wow, ESO, forums, EBM/Industrial world, etc [04:18:28] you have to talk to the admins of wikimedia. #mediawiki only develops software, that happens to be used on wikimedia [04:19:02] alright, thanks for the tip...but nah, this is very minor.... [04:19:32] again ma'man. anyone can say to be anyone. from now on, create a pgp key pair and sign and use the fingerprint to identify you. You can even add your pic to it. [04:19:46] I understand and I know this [04:20:00] never give the private key to anyone! only the public [04:20:01] pgp key pair, is a function I have not heard of [04:20:24] oh! add your pic as login? no... [04:20:45] ummm... your question strikes me in an odd way. What is your operating system of daily use [04:21:16] win 10 home. by choise. I dont use pro soly cause then its impossible to bitlock my drives [04:21:29] a key pair is a digital encrypted 'thing' that serves to encrypt, sign and ensure security [04:21:32] makes sense. [04:21:36] before it was win 7,64. but I had linux suse as firewall since -98 [04:21:37] windows user. [04:21:45] but with win 7. and win 10....dont nened it [04:21:49] * HeXiLeD felt it miles away. [04:21:50] yes windows user [04:21:54] I used em all [04:21:58] cause I like games [04:21:59] however [04:22:06] hence why you are not getting anything that i am talking about [04:22:22] you are in the wrong place to ask about that problem. [04:22:24] I also use Vertias File system since 1998, on win 98 (it at a port) [04:22:44] Pgp is hardly neeccesarily, and unless you had posted the fingerprint on your user page probably wouldnt help you much [04:22:47] yes, I dont know the names of the code...but...I know the functionsd of the OS [04:23:04] point #2 learn how to prove ID without using real life ID. use pgp [04:23:29] I've played virtual reality on Chalmers university 1999, on the Sun Fire 10000, the supercmoputer they boght for it [04:23:48] point 3: move on. it's getting unpleasant and off topic. [04:24:27] point 4: use a real decent irc client. something like irssi or weechat. [04:24:50] Please dont take this in a bad way, but I prove my ID on sites, thats iportant where I can loose things or dont want to loose it. using anything other then secure stuff that works everywhere, is not prefeble [04:24:56] they work well with pgp/certs/fp/sigs [04:25:12] yes, IA m sorry about that. I havnt used MIRC for 15 years [04:25:16] I clicked the chat.... [04:25:37] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E791gRFnWg [04:25:50] Ill go away if you want...but Its rare I meet people who understand what I talk about when I say Vrtual servers was around way before VMware [04:25:57] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-MPcUHhXoc [04:26:43] trust me young man. learn how to use security certificates to authenticate yourself and prove your ID in a secure way without using gov ID [04:26:45] and I play games....using linux/unix....gives you issues with every ported game (drivers/hhw). and Win 10, home, is the first windows whch I allow calling an Operating system [04:27:02] * HeXiLeD cracks to laughs [04:27:11] 10 is the worse ever. [04:27:28] you mean how bank system works, stock exchanges and proected code that sattelates are made of? [04:27:29] have a good .. rest of the day [04:27:56] spend less time gaming... and learn useful stuff [04:27:57] those things, I was a system designer for....what the techs needed in hardware in order to do whtese things [04:28:12] useful stuff, is what you enjoy doing. [04:28:58] And, um, you are talking applications and platform...not OS [04:29:03] lol [04:29:05] awesome [04:29:21] well you are [04:29:23] oh! [04:29:25] oh! [04:29:49] Java, was made by Sun microssytems and based on C++....with the intention to work on most platforms [04:29:58] my statement is correct or false? [04:30:09] snice wwiki say, java was created by Oracle ;) [04:30:53] this discussion is offtopic for #mediawiki and should be taken elsewhere [04:30:55] I havnt "wun" that argument with anyone yet (except old colligues who I worked with) [04:31:03] huh? [04:31:12] Low IQ, High Fluid Intelligence =) [04:31:17] (not joking) [04:31:34] please answer me about java thgouh [04:31:45] would mean sometihing to me heh [04:32:12] read my statement again [04:32:16] didnt talk about what it could do [04:32:19] Who made it [04:32:21] and why [04:32:33] was I right? [04:32:38] (I now I am) [04:32:41] know [04:32:53] argh! [04:33:05] Wiki says Oracle...and I never "win" that.... [04:33:20] ....... [04:33:54] the MMO that created DKP, Raiding skills, and the only MMORPG with the GUYS to make it hurt to die [04:34:17] you could try. I woke the sleeper as guild nr 4 world wide [04:34:47] I started a guild on EU server....2002. its still arond as the biggest one and with the rules I made [04:34:52] um [04:34:57] I didnt wake the lseeper myself [04:35:14] please take this offtopic discussion elsewhere, or you will be removed from the channel, this channel is designed for supporting people with the mediawiki software [04:35:19] no, I live in my apartment I own. since I work with selling IT solutions [04:35:28] sorry! [04:35:30] Ill go [04:38:06] Hexiled, you need to whitelist me [04:41:26] Hexiled: you still need to whitelist me. click my name. right click. add whitelist. then I can reply. you have a script up [08:31:22] saper: it would be so nice if Logger logged about itself :\ [08:36:38] I mean if the LegacySpi logger [which works fine] would log something about trying to initialise Monolog [12:41:18] I absolutely cannot understand what is happening here: I have wgMWLoggerDefaultSpi set in LocalSettings.php, maintenance/eval.php shows the correct value, but inside LoggerFactory.php, wgMWLoggerDefaultSpi has the value from includes/DefaultSettings.php [12:42:21] this only applies to one install, started happening after 1.33.0; other 1.33.0 installs are fine [13:18:36] saper: I think I found the cause at last [13:24:26] yep [13:29:13] note to self: be careful with composer [13:29:40] (the WikiSEO extension's autoload script emits log messages too early for LocalSettings to be loaded) [13:56:42] I think I might file a bug report for mediawiki itself: it would probably be a good idea to reset the logging system after loading LocalSettings [14:14:16] posted as T230270 [14:14:16] T230270: $wgMWLoggerDefaultSpi is effectively ignored if log events occur before LocalSettings are loaded - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230270 [19:29:21] found another postgresql-related bug [19:30:44] the transcode table schema has character varying(14) for transcode_time_ columns but the code inserts an ISO formatted timestamp [20:13:42] Remilia: MediaWiki uses varchars on purpose on mysql [20:14:00] not sure which way it is supposed to be on postgres for that table [20:14:20] I changed it to timestamptz and am waiting for the person who likes to hit this error to wake up [20:14:48] (it's TimedMediaHandler) [20:15:21] Platonides: I am guessing for MySQL MW uses UNIX timestamp-like stuff? [20:15:46] no [20:15:58] oh [20:16:04] ISO timestamp strings [20:16:06] yyyymmddhhmmss [20:17:53] Platonides: wait does it mean varchar(14) is 15 characters long? [20:18:05] you cannot fit an ISO formatted datetime into 14 [20:18:49] see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki/browse/master/maintenance/tables.sql$21 [20:19:15] oh so not ISO [20:19:23] thanks [20:19:27] yyyymmddhhmmss are 14 characters [20:19:39] yeah, and it is not ISO 8601 compatible [20:19:40] there's not T there [20:19:44] yup [20:22:53] if this change works for me I will only have to research why my users cannot upload updated versions of existing files, yay for cutting down the post-1.33.0 upgrade issues list to just one item... until something pops up again [20:23:23] Remilia: do they have permission for reupload? [20:23:48] note there's a different right for upload over existing files than for uploaidng a new file [20:24:03] also, there's another that allows giving the right to reupload just their own [20:24:08] Platonides: hmm, the error they get is "duplicate file" [20:24:41] then it seems like they are trying to upload an existing file, not an updated version [20:38:40] Platonides: thank you for the pointer, I'll look into this [20:38:50] the file definitely differs [20:38:59] (same file name but different hash) [20:39:04] you are welcome, Remilia [20:39:13] maybe check that hashes are being stored correctly? [20:39:42] I don't see how calculation could be wrong :/ [20:40:44] good idea, will do once the guy with the files is online [20:44:36] there's another check for deleted files [20:44:46] I would recommend trying with a completely new file [20:45:12] just to rule out that somehow that image was *really* uploaded [20:47:43] well, these are OGG Vorbis files... wonder if maybe it tries to calculate the hash differently for these, but good idea too, will check tomorrow [20:48:32] the hashes are just a sha1 [20:48:53] stored in base36 if I remember right [20:49:11] but a plain hash of the file [20:49:31] the temporary file is arrivign right at the server? [20:49:39] being an ogg file [20:49:55] maybe the file is too big, and it ends up hashing just an empty file or similar [20:50:05] which then produces that error rather than the real one [20:50:11] hmm [20:50:18] the upload limit is definitely high enough [20:50:20] try with a small file, too [20:50:29] post_max_size [20:50:38] and some other limit [20:51:08] what I do see is this: wfDebug.DEBUG: UploadStash::stashFile tried to stash file at '/tmp/phpdfLs7I', but it doesn't exist [20:51:26] that doesn't look good [20:51:50] this goes after wfDebug.DEBUG: LocalFile::recordUpload2: File 2/29/Hood_SecIdle2Skin8JP.ogg already exists! [20:52:20] are you using Special:Upload or Special:UploadWizard ? [20:52:31] it is the SimpleBatchUpload extension [20:52:48] a third one, then :P [20:52:52] haha [20:53:02] another test would be to try reproduce with Special:Upload [20:53:29] the thing that really puzzles me is that those two lines are preceded by FileOperation.DEBUG: FileBackendStore::getFileStat: File mwstore://local-backend/local-public/archive/2/29/20190810173345!Hood_SecIdle2Skin8JP.ogg does not exist [20:53:47] can it decide already if it exists or not [21:30:10] Platonides: also, it seems like reupload is allowed by default [21:31:46] the hashes in the database seem fine ("Hood_SecIdle2Skin8JP.ogg | ebb9g1mw1px247levz1x5v092vil9l0" as an example) [22:08:07] Hi, i want to add 1 or more "Cards pictures" to some of my pages. I want that each page that contains cards will be in a category (lets say "Contains Cards") and i want that each Card Image will be in a category "Cards [22:08:53] ", Thee is any simpler way to do this than a template in each Card file which adds it to the Cards category and a template on each Page that contains Cards that adds to him the relevant cards files? [22:09:17] Something like adding a category to PageB from PageA [22:54:59] I don't think so, niso [22:55:08] I would include the Cards in the pages using a template [22:55:40] so that using {{Card|foo}} would include [[Image:Card_foo.png]] *and* [[Category:Contains cards]] [22:56:26] but you would need to add the category to each file either directly or thorugh a template [22:59:15] :(
