[03:08:44] Anyone around to help out a newb? Just setup Mediawiki for the first time. It's installed and running but I get an error when I tell it to mail a confirmation code to my email address. I'm trying to use Mailgun to handle outgoing emails as I'm fairly knowledgeable with their API. So I've tried following the instructions in both Manual:Mailgun and [03:08:45] Extension:Mailgun and in both cases I still get an `Fatal exception of type "Error"` [10:20:14] hey people, can you take a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vixpspyor2gmcyp9 [10:26:27] there is no way to say someone to translate an article first and another article second, but he is deleting translated article because category article was translated as first and become as empty [10:30:37] Agreed with you. I've replied [10:33:34] thank you! [10:54:45] TimStarling: is it possible to implement {{#counter:name}} parser function, which will auto increment on each call? [10:56:12] yes, but we don't like the idea on principle, we don't want expose the lack of parallelism as a feature [10:56:33] example, {{#counter:a}} {{#counter:a}} {{#counter:a}} {{#counter:b}} {{#counter:b}} {#counter:a}} would produce 0 1 2 0 1 3 [10:57:05] cite has counters, but the numbers can be calculated late, what you're suggesting would require serialization of preprocessing [10:58:06] the episode number in list of episodes article [10:58:23] on wikipedia, it's not going to happen [11:01:35] {{ep list|ep={{#expr:{{#counter:ep}}+1}}|airdate={{#time:2019-01-01 +{{#counter:ep]} weeks}}} }} [11:03:06] rather than, {{ep list|ep=1|airdate={{#time:2019-01-01 +{{#expr:1-1}} weeks}}} }} [11:03:23] {{ep list|ep=2|airdate={{#time:2019-01-01 +{{#expr:2-1}} weeks}}} }} [11:03:33] {{ep list|ep=3|airdate={{#time:2019-01-01 +{{#expr:3-1}} weeks}}} }} [11:05:13] i usually doing this, and manually increase the ep number [11:07:22] when there're 10-50 episodes, it take times to manually increment [12:11:58] anonhuino_email[: for that particular case, it makes more sense to manually set the air date instead of calculating it based on the number of weeks since the last aired episode [13:06:36] Vulpix: manually set date take more time than using calculate form, which can be just copied/pasted and only change the episode number [13:08:30] Doesn't creating a whole new parser function take more time than calculating 1 week since last date? [13:31:15] Vulpix: creating new parser function only take one long time, but manually calculate date will take longer time when there're plenty of episodes [15:24:11] New to Mediawiki and trying to get a file attached to a page. Found an article saying to use the Attachment extension, but when I attempt to download, it says "Download MediaWiki extension [15:24:54] What do you mean by "attached" to the page? [15:42:39] Reedy, I mean the same sort of thing that, for instance, I can do with "Outlook" to attach file to the page. [15:44:25] Reedy, [15:46:43] Reedy, I have a need to "attach" documents for others to be able to retrieve, if needed. I'm going to (hopefully) oversee which documents get attached. But I need to be able to attach things like: [15:48:03] Reedy, attach things like Word, PowerPoint, or Visio documents so that others can retrieve. Perhaps I should attach just PDF files. But I'm not sure how to do any of them right now. [15:48:17] MediaWiki has upload functionality [15:48:18] !upload [15:48:18] File uploads are disabled by default, set $wgEnableUploads=true; to enable it. See for configuration details, and for using uploaded images and other files. [15:48:29] But you can alos allow updload of doc(x) and such too [15:48:39] I don't know if an extra extension is necessarily needed [15:48:51] FWIW, I fixed the download section of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Attachments#Installation as it was indeed wrong [15:49:42] OK. So it isn't there. There was another place also. There was something talking about using #attach. [15:50:05] "#attach can also be used to attach a regular page to another regular page. [15:50:05] " [15:51:47] -win 14 [15:51:59] EKEZBOARD [15:52:19] * Reedy pets saper [15:52:41] As the admin for the Wiki, I want to be able to put some text on a page telling the viewer about a file, and then have a "link" to the file so a user can click on it and retrieve (or view) it.
