[06:59:04] hello, i need a template expert. how do i close a template within a template's #ifeq statement? [06:59:25] {{#ifeq:{{{infobox|}}}|no|| }} }} <--- this doesn't work [07:00:58] full problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Psi%C4%A5edelisto/sandbox2 [07:29:03] Hey, may I come in touch someone who has played a role in organizing this organization's participation in Google Code-In competitions? [07:29:40] AlwaysLivid: This time of day is probably not the best time to catch them [07:29:47] Let me figure out who the admin was [07:29:55] Got it. [07:30:14] I'm based in Europe, excuse my timing. [07:30:46] Its totally ok, i just mean they might not be around [07:30:58] Although looking at the list, i think some of them are european [07:33:12] AlwaysLivid: Relavent irc nick names are FlorianSW, Ebe123, Urbanecm, Gopa, xSavitar, and andre_ [07:33:31] You might have better luck on a weekday [07:33:35] or sending an email [07:33:59] bawolff_: andre has two underscores in their irc nick [07:34:24] There's links at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/2019 (If you go to their userpage, and are logged in, and have a confirmed email, there should be a link to email them) [07:34:25] Oh, Urbanecm has already been reached out to regarding the relevant enquiry. Got it, sorry for the fuss and thanks for the help. [07:34:32] I'll check it out as well, thanks. [07:34:44] Majavah: Whoops, you are right [07:34:47] never noticed that [07:35:05] AlwaysLivid: no fuss at all [07:35:09] also really sad that GCI 2019 was the final one :( [07:35:09] ( we resolved my issue in #wikipedia-en ) [07:35:20] Wait what? [07:35:32] * bawolff_ did not know that [07:35:33] Hi [07:35:35] yeah it was announced like last week [07:35:48] Yeah, we're trying to put together an alternative. Majavah [07:35:54] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/gci-announce/pmo3bvqYBew/vVT0-LK5AAAJ [07:36:01] That's very sad, i always really liked the GCI program [07:36:08] Everyone is really excited about it [07:36:21] I mean participants are always really excited [07:36:36] Are you all interested in an alternative that we're trying to put together? We're really in need of more organizations to be a part of the conversation. [07:36:37] and I'm still trying to get Finnish customs to give me my prize for last year [07:36:37] The spirit seems much more fun then the more formal gsoc somehow [07:36:42] Yes we got an offocoela email from google that google code 2019 was our last edition :( [07:36:48] Official* [07:37:42] (sorry for typos, I was on mobile) [07:38:15] AlwaysLivid: Well good luck, I hope you make it happen [07:39:27] Yeah, we have a bunch of ideas (as we're few people), but the only thing we lack for the time being as far as the organization goes is reaching out to organizations. [07:40:19] hopefully you can get something done, GCI was in my opinion best of the three Google programs [07:40:39] * Majavah is totally not biased as a runner-up from last year and having not participated in anything else [07:42:02] I really love GCI, This year 2019 edition, I was one of the administrator for wikimedia and I really enjoyed by seeing students enthusiasm and healthy competition :) [07:48:56] I would definitely consider reaching out to the Developer advocacy team at WMF directly as well https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Advocacy [07:49:02] I think that's the correct dept now [07:49:04] hard to keep track [07:49:29] Well really, andre__ is probably the best person, and he is already on your list [07:51:16] Not sure, I'm putting this in the TO-DO document I sent earlier. [08:01:16] AlwaysLivid: Also, feel free to reach wikimedia google code-in admins through an email "google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org" [08:01:33] noted [08:01:54] :) [08:48:12] AlwaysLivid: Is there anything else I could help you with now? [08:56:32] we just need participants in the conversations in all honesty, i'm really not sure as to how your internal hierarchy works but if you could bring that up that'd be great [08:56:47] i'm a bit busy because i'm also trying to reach out to other organizations as well and measure the interest around it [14:31:37] Hi there, I'm having some issues with a migration from 1.31 to 1.34. Can someone help me with this change that was done on index.php PATH_INFO? [14:32:12] I'm lead to believe that this could be causing some of the issues I'm facing because I'm expecting to get some titles from $_GET [14:33:49] What change? [14:34:30] the release notes say this: "Parameters for index.php from PATH_INFO, such as the title, are no longer written to $_GET." [14:35:37] Are you using $_GET directly in an extension or something? [14:36:09] yes [14:36:42] don't do that then :P [14:36:59] generally, grab a webrequest object, and use that to inspect parameters and their values [14:37:40] Reedy: Ok, this is not a good practice overall or just because it changed in REL134? [14:38:16] I don't think it's been advised to do that for a long time. Just REL1_34 changed some behaviour which broke whatever you're actually doing [14:38:36] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker/Extension_Writing_Tutorial#Exercise_4:_Introducing_$wgRequest [14:39:09] $wgRequest should mostly work, but might break in future... In favour of not using globals, and instead getting the webrequest object from a known context [14:40:12] Reedy: thanks, you solve it once more. Always very helpful :D [14:40:22] I try ;D [15:32:04] is there a way I can dynamically list all the pages that use a specific template? [15:33:59] What do you mean by dynamically? [15:35:30] if a new page uses the template, I want it to show up in the list without having to manually add it [15:37:38] I'm documenting my server setup and have a template to warn if a guide is unfinished. I want to list those incomplete pages on the overview page [15:38:06] * Reedy tries to remember if you can transclude Special:WhatLinksHere limiting to transclusions [15:38:27] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion#Special_pages [15:38:28] I think so [15:39:24] Yeah [15:39:31] {{Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:TEMPLATENAMEGOESEHERE|hidelinks=1|hideredirs=1}} [16:17:16] oh hey I learned a thing [16:17:19] well played Reedy [16:17:32] What have I done now [16:17:46] whatlinkshere transclusion trickery [16:21:49] heh [20:33:34] any way to test a commit in an environment like en-wiki, or another live wiki? I know there's https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org but I don't think I can test on here unless my changes are already +2'd and merged into master, right? [20:33:54] or another live wiki, I mean an environment configured like one of the live wikis [20:35:12] Not really [20:35:44] There's a tool for kinda doing something like that.. I can't remember what it's called... But it's more spinning up a MW instance with a patchset, rather than bringing in enwiki config etc [20:44:56] Reedy: that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
