[09:48:49] How to manage a team while you are less educated than team members? [09:50:46] noone16, and what does that question have to do with the MediaWiki software? [10:15:49] Добрый день, не подскажете, как мне можно вывести статью в рамочке на главную как на wikipedia? [11:39:30] Hello everyone, I have a question about mediawiki. I would like to have, via mediawiki, a pretty nice homepage (frontpage blog type). How can I do that if it's possible? [11:42:13] frontpage blog type? [11:42:25] You're potentially looking at using another skin, or some extreme customisation of the main page [11:45:24] I would like the main page to show our project in a nice/sexy style, but style be able to use it/manage it via mediawiki. I would like to not have a html/blog page to show our project and a mediawiki. An all in one. [11:45:49] But thank's already, I didn't think about the skins [11:47:25] !cms [11:47:25] Wikis are designed for openness, to be readable and editable by all. If you want a forum, a blog, a web authoring toolkit or corporate content management system, perhaps don't use wiki software. There is a nice overview of free tools available at including the possibility to try each system. For ways to restrict access in MediaWiki, see !access. [11:54:27] Hi. I have a question about semantic mediawiki, is this the right channel for it, or is there a dedicated one for smw? The question is, why are there two pins on the map for every location: https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Map_format [11:54:52] #semantic-mediawiki is better usually [11:55:06] thx! [12:35:58] thx :) [13:01:11] Hello! I�m using the mediawiki and I need any extension or way for insert pictures in page, where I can insert same picture in other pages, without new upload Anything more userfriendly, is possible? [13:11:59] denisbr: you can do that already? [13:12:24] Write: [[File:YourUploadedFile.png]] (Or I don't understand the question.) [13:15:21] andre__: yes, this is possible, but, I need a gui interface, because, I have users non technical writers [14:00:10] denisbr: VisualEditor ? [14:07:13] andre__: this https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor ? [14:23:21] Hello. I need to create more than a hundred template pages on my wiki. I have scripts to automatically populate them once they are created (using importTextFiles.php) but that doesn't work for non-existing pages. Is there a way to easily create a number of empty pages with only page names? [14:26:51] It should work fine for non existing pages [14:26:57] if ( $status ) { [14:26:58] $action = $exists ? 'updated' : 'created'; [14:26:58] $this->output( "Successfully $action $actualTitle\n" ); [14:26:58] $successCount++; [14:27:02] What error message do you get? [14:27:52] Let me try again, maybe I missed something there [14:36:40] Reedy: Do you know if it's possible to direct the script to look for text files in another folder than the maintenance script is in? I'm not experienced with this. I'd rather not have all the text files in the maintenance folder [14:38:09] It looks like you should just be able to pass a parameter of like /path/to/files/*.txt [14:38:11] or similar [14:40:45] I thought so too, but it's telling me the file doesn't exist. I will try putting it in the maintenance folder for now to see if my first question is solved, then I can get back to the other later! [14:41:14] What command did you use? [14:42:16] works for me [14:42:16] $ php maintenance/importTextFiles.php /tmp/importfiles/*.txt [14:42:17] Importing 2 pages... [14:42:17] Successfully created Testimport1 [14:42:17] Successfully created Testimport2 [14:42:17] Done! 2 succeeded, 0 skipped. [14:43:47] D:\home\site\wwwroot\maintenance>php importTextFiles.php -s "Creating templates for MTD properties" --overwrite /TextFileimport/MTD/*.txt [14:44:20] Where is TextFileimport? A folder under maintenance? [14:44:52] Yeah, I'm looking at it right now [14:46:21] If you do D:\home\site\wwwroot\maintenance\TextFileimport\MTD\*.txt it'll probably work [14:46:45] Else telling it's a relative path from where you are currently... Possibly drop the leading slash, or prefix a dot [14:46:57] I don't know how well PHP on windows will deal with slashes the wrong way either [14:48:33] That seems to have worked (the full path). Thanks a lot! [14:48:52] Now I will see if it created the pages in a moment, it's always a bit slow for me [14:50:19] That also worked. I was just wrong about it not creating new pages. Thanks a lot for the help :) [14:50:32] heh, cool. np [15:40:39] denisbr: yes. [20:17:23] hi all. how can I change the a:link color locally in a table? [20:17:33] that is, in a table cell [20:17:42] with different background colour [20:21:56] [[link]] [20:22:06] if it [20:22:15] *if it's something you'll do a lot, put it in a template [23:41:32] I'm looking for reviewers (testers) for the MediaViewer bug that scrolls up the article after closing the viewer [23:41:34] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/560576 [23:41:45] Anybody as annoyed as I was?
