[15:33:00] hi, manual says: mysqldump -h hostname -u userid -p --default-character-set=whatever dbname > backup.sql [15:33:32] is it a good idea nowadays to omit the "--default-character-set=whatever" and rely on the mysql server's setup? [15:58:33] apurkrt: would that somehow help you? [15:59:04] Don't trust mysql with charactersets I would say. It pretty much sucks in that respect [18:32:48] Hello and big thanks for the awesome software and support. Is it possible to put Mediawiki into a mode that the historical reversions of articles are visible only to certain user groups (in my case just me) ? [19:58:35] jubo2: I don't think there's a "hide all previous revisions of every article" option. [19:59:52] As an administrator, you can "delete" revisions, but you have to do it manually for each revision. [20:00:07] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:RevisionDelete [20:42:50] That's an odd use case for a wiki, as you may have vandalism or make a change that while not vandalism also isn't the change you wanted to make. [20:43:05] You could feasibly write a bot to do it though. [20:43:45] Well, feasibly is an odd word there to some degree. :) [21:06:02] I'm using wikis in somewhat creative ways [21:07:27] Lately I've improved progress on many things by installing a private mediawiki to incubate and tune content without the "Agh. If this is not a good edit it will show till the end of the wiki" [21:09:33] thare's Preview button, too [21:09:48] When I asked if all revision history can be turned off from other than certain user group, I was thinking if a company website could be a Mediawiki with just the visitors not seeing changes. So completely different use case than my private fast sketching private wiki [21:10:33] Platonides: And there is also "show changes". The developers gift to 420 people [21:10:35] you could only allow the view action in the url for external users [21:10:58] I would need to remove pieces of the UI too [21:12:09] if you are using a wiki as a company website, you probably want a custom skin anyway [21:12:36] Too much trouble. Will keep it Wordpress. I intend to find out how well Wordpress hypertext and Mediawiki hypertext copy-paste into each other. I'm really happy with wiki -> email program copy-paste results [21:12:46] you may have a look at https://www.wikimedia.es/ [21:13:04] Soy no hablo espanol [21:13:12] no need to [21:13:29] I meant you to look at the website appearance [21:13:40] Yes. I see right away what' they've done there [21:14:49] Thank you Platonides and thank you all the wonderful people who make the awesomest Wiki engine in these parts of the Laniakea Supercluster. [21:15:18] hehe [21:15:27] I hadn't heard that expression [21:15:31] and always people should be thankful for the free help/support ... make free software? people are going to ask for free support. [21:21:09] In addition to accelerating development of good quality contents by using private wiki, I am also looking into transcribers of any platform. This will be good content for the hearing (computer writes speech it hears) and visually impaired (no need for physical keyboard, so blind can just speak very quietly very close to their phone's mic to compose texts, enabling one way of textual communication on the go)
