[07:14:16] Is it possible to get image captions via the API or do I need to parse the articles myself? [09:55:26] Hi, I have question about wikidata. I have one page about one company https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software602 - in the past, this company had different legal structure than it has now (and of course different ID). However in Wikidata there is only one record about Software602 so information in infobox aren't correct. How can I fix it? [09:56:14] I mean information that I cannot edit in infobox [10:34:50] can you edit the wiki... ah they are gone. oh well [10:35:00] ..the wikidata entry, I was going to say [10:35:03] meh [12:40:50] Hi, i am trying to update version 1.22 to LTS 1.31, and want to perform a dry-run on a clone first. for this i have duplicated the folder and database. however, the update.php seems to access the original database, although the LocalSettings was updated to the clone name. is there anything else that hasa to be changed, besides wgScriptPath? Thanks a lot in advance :) [13:14:33] tried again, this time creating a full clone of the file-structure at the new location, running the update script from the old version first. then, replaced the new folder with the new files from the tar.gz, moved content into place, modified LocalSettings.php, and ran the updater.php. again, the original database name ('mediawiki') was tried to be changed, instead of the new database [13:14:39] ('mediawikiUpgrade') :( [13:15:14] ive done those multiple times never happened [13:15:34] you replaced the db access on localsettings' [13:18:32] yes, and this has immediate effect, when I try with invalid credentials/database-names [13:21:12] weird [13:21:19] ive done that this work and worked [13:22:44] it just does not make any sense that it tries to access the 'mediawiki' database at all [13:24:23] found it: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Uf63mplrzzuxz0it&topic_showPostId=ugz9b1flgn3yxham#flow-post-ugz9b1flgn3yxham [13:26:49] oh youre upgrading froma really old version [13:26:50] heh [13:29:15] :D [17:10:35] hi [17:11:24] I saw in a wiki links like this: domain.net/index.php/Main_Page and so on ".../index.php/..." [17:11:39] is there a way to redirect those links to a pretty way? [17:19:03] Vulpix: ? ;) [17:22:59] !pretty [17:22:59] To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at or try the new beta tool at . There are instructions for most different webserver setups. If you have problems getting the rewrite rules to work, see !rewriteproblem [17:23:28] like [17:23:49] the problemis the old wiki is that way [17:23:55] the new wiki doesnt have the subdir [17:23:59] what would you advise? [17:25:57] old links should work, since the pretty URL is an internal map to the ugly URL, which means the ugly URL is still functional [17:31:58] it seems there are also links like this index.php/Namespace/... [18:57:13] How do i hide all content including menus for people not logged in and disable possibility to make new users? [18:57:32] !access [18:57:33] For information on customizing user access, see . For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see . [18:57:39] For the disable new users [18:57:48] I'm not sure about entirely disabling the sidebar [21:52:50] hi [21:53:18] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/core/+/467265/ <- using mediawiki 1.33.1 these patches should still need to be applied? I get those same warnings [22:14:31] 1.33.0 and 1.33.1 both should include the patch [22:14:53] (it's in 1.32.0 too) [22:15:55] i keep getting those errors [22:16:08] which is weird then
