[00:22:04] I'm trying to recover my wikipedia account and am apparently blocked globally... I dont know why! Can I be unblocked? [00:22:45] helpjwiki: This isn't the right channel to ask. Try asking in #wikimedia-stewards [00:22:51] Thank you. [00:23:03] If you tell me your account name though, i could probably look up why you are globally blocked though [00:23:33] I don't remember... I tried to recover with my email [00:24:21] Umm, if you don't remember, i assume you are not too attached to the account name, why not create another one [09:41:20] Hello, I have a wiki that needs people to login to view pages. Where do I change the text on that page that tells the surfer to login? The generated text on that page is "Login required" and "Please login to view other pages" [09:46:56] all good - found it: editing mediawiki:loginreqpagetext seems to have sorted it. [09:57:43] roadie: if you use the "uselang=qqx" parameter in the URL, you can see the names of the strings, and then go to the MediaWiki: page to change them [13:03:09] 1.34 Y U NO RELEASE? [15:44:08] any idea why using Shell::command() doesnt work but if i run the same command with exec() it works fine [15:45:13] Escaping... Paths.... Got an example? [15:45:30] i basically hacked the syntaxhighlight extension to work on my system [15:45:31] * Returns a new instance of Command class [15:45:31] * [15:45:32] * @note You should check Shell::isDisabled() before calling this [15:45:40] i hacked the fuck out of it, its ugly [15:45:43] and slow [15:45:44] but it worsk [15:51:37] so basically i took this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:V4n3pjg78pvmh12n [15:52:52] and turned it into this: https://pastebin.com/m5UgEUcN [15:53:27] because Shell::command() kept saying the exit code was 1 but there was nothing in stderr or stdout [15:53:31] but if i use exec() it works fine [15:59:01] I'm guessing this is some relation to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183759 [16:00:17] maybe [16:00:31] there seems to be multiple things at play that prevented the syntax highlight from working [16:09:43] resolving those would probably be better than hacking the extension [16:10:28] yeah, definitely [16:10:42] but unfortunately i am not able to take on that task [16:11:02] what version of mw? [16:11:16] 1.33.1 [16:11:57] oh the patch on the task Reedy linked to wasn't merged yet [16:12:10] Yeah, I was just rebasing it... Then made a mess [16:12:22] so there's that, and there's also this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:V4n3pjg78pvmh12n [16:13:19] i guess pygments was not really meant to be run on windows or something [16:16:39] pygments works fine on windows in general, just PHP seems to be mangling things in proc_open. The (unmerged) patch works around some of that buggy behavior in Shell::command [16:16:47] true [16:17:18] I'm just wondering if the CI blockage is now.. unblocked [16:17:21] bypassing cmd.exe entirely would be better, but idk if that's desirable for this particular function [16:34:22] Patch needs some more love [16:37:35] you guys are awesome [19:42:34] The "welcome to Wikipedia" splashscreen I keep getting on hundreds of Wikimedia wikis is just every bit as annoying as the very first day :( [19:54:29] the very first day? [19:59:18] harmaahy1je: the day in 2016 or whatever when it was enabled https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136076 [19:59:59] a splashscreen? [20:00:12] see screenshots there if you don't know what I'm talking about [20:00:30] (looks like none of the issues was solved yet, except https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135811 ) [20:01:42] I can't find a screenshot, where should I look for one on the phabricator page?
