[12:59:26] Hi, what values are avaliable in LocalSettings.php? I want to change the wgScriptPath and wgServer depending on what domain the request is made on, so I need to know URL or domain used to connect. [13:01:42] I use the globals provided by php/apache for just that. if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']=== etc. you're not restricted to values mediawiki provides [13:03:54] I didn't know, thanks! [13:04:31] I can't promise it's the tidiest way to do it. I can promise that nothing about my wiki is tidy lol [13:08:03] that's good enough [13:08:05] Bodge is fine :P [13:18:17] Hi. Is it possible to set the a title="" in mediawiki when linking to external sites? [13:34:02] hi [13:34:21] what would be the easiest way to disable syntax hilighting? [13:35:02] for instance stuff like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)#%22Hello,_world%22_example [13:35:16] but on my own instance [13:36:33] Disable it? [13:36:51] That's using an extension, so don't enable the extension is the easiest.. [13:36:57] that should just disappear if you don't have the syntaxhighlight plugin. your example is written as [13:37:27] (or a dummy that just wraps it in
 before spitting it back out)
[13:39:58] 	 ahhh i see
[13:40:00] 	 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Vector.css
[13:40:12] 	 ^ here is a better example of what i would like to disable
[13:40:42] 	 no  in the source there
[13:41:13] 	 Why do you care about disabling colouring of css pages? lol
[13:41:56] 	 if it's impossible i can live with it
[13:42:29] 	 but i would like to replicate what this wiki does https://wiki.voidlinux.org/MediaWiki:Common.css
[13:42:51] 	 I think as per previous dicussions, they modify core files
[13:43:30] 	 ok
[13:44:07] 	 well its probably not worth it to force everything to black with css
[13:44:30] 	 since it's only for css pages that most won't have to look at
[13:45:10] 	 you would think that people who don't have SyntaxHilight enabled wouldnt want syntax hilighting
[13:45:32] 	 but i guess the extension interface doesnt lend itself to configuring css source pages?
[13:46:07] 	 If no one will look at it, why waste time changing it?
[13:46:42] 	 i do wonder that
[13:46:52] 	 ;)
[16:40:54] 	 bleb: voidlinux  doesn't have SyntaxHighlight  installed afaik
[16:41:05] 	 they haven't  disabled  anything other  than to uninstall/not install the  extension that does  it  
[16:41:28] 	 hm.. well they do have it installed
[16:41:37] 	 but the  output is plain 
[16:42:35] 	 intresting yeah, I guess they've patched it  so  that  it appies only  to articles with small portions  of  but not to whole pages like Common.css
[16:42:55] 	 bleb: if you don't want it  anywhere, then removing wfLoadExtension('SyntaxHighlight') from LocalSettings.php will do  the trick :)
[17:04:54] 	 Krinkle: that's the thing, SyntaxHighlight is not enabled on my wiki
[17:05:50] 	 bleb:  It is  not listed on /wiki/Special:Version but when you view /wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css there is coloured text?
[17:06:07] 	 If so, it'd be  curious  what other  extensions  are  installed  :)
[17:06:12] 	 is  the wiki public?
[17:09:28] 	 its not public yet
[17:09:41] 	 its hosted by a wiki farm
[17:09:57] 	 turns out SyntaxHighlight does appear in /wiki/Special:Version
[17:10:04] 	 but it is not enabled in /wiki/Special:ManageWiki/extensions
[17:10:27] 	 actually its not even mentioned in /wiki/Special:ManageWiki/extensions
[17:12:31] 	 SyntaxHilighting is listed on this page: https://voidlinux.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Version
[17:12:39] 	 but not on here https://voidlinux.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/extensions
[17:12:49] 	 i.e. there is no checkbox for SyntaxHighlighting that would let me enable/disable it
[17:12:51] 	 paladox: ^
[17:13:00] 	 It wouldn't be a surprise if it's a "default on" extension
[17:13:05] 	 oh
[17:13:10] 	 default on and can't be disabled?
[17:13:27] 	 yeh it's default https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/blob/master/GlobalExtensions.php#L36
[17:14:12] 	 i thought "default" would mean "checked by default"
[17:14:16] 	 but there is simply no checkbox
[17:14:37] 	 It's just got to be moved to MWE which will allow you to disable it
[17:14:53] 	 oh
[17:15:01] 	 MWE is some other php file?
[17:15:38] 	 yeh, ManageWikiExtension
[17:16:34] 	 that was quick ^^
[17:16:55] 	 Just need to know who are the right people to ping :P
[17:27:10] 	 bleb done with https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/pull/3157
[17:33:06] 	 paladox: so i see the check box now, but it is unchecked, and i still have the highlighting in 
[17:33:44] 	 maybe if i check and uncheck
[17:35:41] 	 hmm still no changes
[17:36:06] 	 maybe the highlighting for css files is not controlled by the syntaxhilighting extension..
[17:38:03] 	 Disabling it works locally
[17:38:12] 	 Sounds like something isn't quite right in the miraheze config
[17:49:04] 	 Hello, i can use toolforge in my computer or in Wikimedia Servers???
[17:54:47] 	 Reedy: are you sure you are looking at css pages like /wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css , and not just pages where there is  in the wiki source?
[17:54:56] 	 the former is what i'm having issues with
[17:56:09] 	 Yes
[17:56:17] 	 I looked at MediaWiki:Vector.css
[17:56:19] 	 It was colour
[17:56:21] 	 Turned off the extension
[17:56:23] 	 Force refresh
[17:56:25] 	 It was b/w
[17:57:23] 	 like shift+ctrl+r ?
[17:59:05] 	 Depends on your OS, but yeah
[18:05:36] 	 bleb should try now
[18:55:48] 	 paladox: still: https://voidlinux.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Vector.css
[18:56:13] 	 (still syntax highlighted, at least for me)
[18:57:03] 	 It's still enabled according to https://voidlinux.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Version
[18:57:30] 	 Reedy: it is listed under "installed"
[18:57:34] 	 does that also mean it's enabled?
[18:57:48] 	 Yes
[18:57:50] 	 Same thing
[18:58:04] 	 Few extensions have an off switch after they're enabled
[18:58:06] 	 works now
[18:58:17] 	 i had wmgUseSyntaxHighlightGeSHi set to true by default
[18:58:23] 	 paladox: fail ;P
[18:58:31] 	 heh
[18:59:09] 	 Reedy: then what is the point of the page https://voidlinux.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/extensions
[18:59:19] 	 That is not a standard MW feature
[18:59:24] 	 I have no idea what it does, nor how it works
[18:59:32] 	 oh
[18:59:44] 	 But there's no way miraheze can have it showing on Special:Version without it working on pages
[18:59:46] 	 https://voidlinux.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/extensions manages the extensions you want enabled on your wiki.
[19:00:22] 	 ah yes lookin good now
[19:00:29] 	 paladox: thanks so much for your help
[19:00:33] 	 yw :)
[20:21:57] 	 Anyone know where I can appeal a block?
[20:22:07] 	 on MediaWiki
[20:22:31] 	 I just got blocked for inserting "Inserting false or outdated translations"
[20:22:54] 	 because I just copied and pasted the original english when I was translating
[20:23:03] 	 However I was translating into Canadian English
[20:24:49] 	 I don't think MW.org has a formal appeals process, my guess would be to ping the blocking admin on your talkpage or send them an email
[20:25:33] 	 he blocked me from editing my talk page AND using email
[20:25:53] 	 ... that's useful
[20:26:27] 	 I've been translating some stuff on Commons so I thought I might as well do so on MediaWiki as well
[20:30:43] 	 I'm on my phone so hard to do anything helpful, sorry
[20:31:19] 	 Chess: For en-ca, if it's theres no change to be made, don't translate it
[20:31:43] 	 Got a link?
[20:32:28] 	 Reedy: I guess https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Chess
[20:33:13] 	 that would've been nice to know before
[20:33:20] 	 all my stuff got deleted
[20:34:01] 	 I don't recognise the blocking admin straight off
[20:34:16] 	 But considering they didn't even leave you a talk page message...
[20:34:36] 	 well I basically just copied and pasted the original English for 80% of my edits
[20:34:38] 	 which is probably why
[20:34:55] 	 but I manually review and check spelling
[20:52:22] 	 the reason why I copied and pasted is because I'm translating into Canadian English which is almost the exact same as the English used on most pages on MediaWiki
[20:52:37] 	 sorry if I didn't make that clear
[21:10:45] 	 Chess: If there's no change in translation, you shouldn't create those translations. That wastes everyone's time: both your time, the people reviewing your edits, and future editors when the original page changes and need to update the now outdated translations
[21:52:25] 	 Hi, im trying to figure out how to get extended error details from DPL. Im using debug=X (tried 0 to 5), and im still getting no helpful msg. only: "Help:  $0= $3" (the problem is using count somehow)
[21:54:31] 	 Using this dpl: https://help.gamepedia.com/Extension:DPL3/Parameters:_Other_parameters#debug
[21:55:31] 	 That's not an extension we maintain or host...
[21:57:55] 	 Just looking for anyone who know that, but im getting the same error for the maintained extension as well: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_(Wikimedia)
[21:58:42] 	 I don't know if they have any common code
