[18:07:59] MW 1.34.2: Connection timeout importing WP to my wiki. Host says at max connection time setting now. Any way to move this over via FTP maybe? Data moves over problem is the "opening" of the files and processing them I think [18:08:18] importing WP? [18:09:55] Wikipedia [18:10:09] Yes. But what exactly? [18:10:11] A few pages? [18:10:15] A huge xml dump? [18:10:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_County,_Florida [18:10:42] Fairly small but the templates make it pretty heavy [18:11:18] If you have SSH access, you can indeed ftp upload it, and then use a maintenance script to import it instead [18:11:20] !import [18:11:20] To import a few pages, use Special:Import - you can also import pages directly from another wiki (see !importsources). For mass imports, use importDump.php - see for details. NOTE: when using content from another wiki, follow the LICENSE TERMS, especially, attribute source and authors! [18:11:29] Thanks! [18:32:13] Has anyone attempted to port the Wikia extension DownloadYourData to MediaWiki? I found a mailing list thread where a user brought it up, but the conversation ended abruptly and I haven't been able to find anything else related to it. [18:32:34] Wikia use MediaWiki... [18:32:44] Wikia uses a custom version of MediaWiki. [18:32:46] And not an ancient version now [18:32:51] mostly [18:33:24] But I'd imagine something like that has more backend infrastructure to it [18:33:57] The code seems simple enough to adapt myself if need be, I just didn't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else did it already. [18:35:29] hmm [18:35:37] https://github.com/Wikia/app/tree/dev/extensions/wikia/DownloadYourData looks like it's still based on the old MW version [18:37:42] Which version would that be? [18:39:23] Looking at a special:version of a couple of their wikis shows 1.19.24 currently [18:39:49] That's probably right... They're on 1.33 for some... I think [19:34:06] MW 1.34.2: ImportDump - do I upload all my desired xml files into the Maintenance folder and then call them from there via the command? Thanks!

[Called from NostalgiaTemplate::pageTitleLinks [19:47:51] Looks like we deprecated somethign that is still used in prod [19:48:14] > NostalgiaTemplate.php: Use of Skin::privacyLink was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.36.

[Called from NostalgiaTemplate::afterContent] [20:22:11] Niiice [22:54:30] hello all! trying to upgrade an old mediawiki server from 1.30.1 to 1.34.1 and I'm getting this error: [22:55:36] https://gist.github.com/todrobbins/20782c54db8e2a0565854009a24b9b5d [22:56:38] or https://dpaste.org/f6Vt [22:57:16] What is the surrounding update.php text? [22:59:09] Not sure. I'm upgrading via cPanel because that's what the host provider offers [22:59:38] should I try another method? [23:01:52] We don't write the cpanel integration, so it's a little hard for us to support it [23:01:55] !update [23:01:55] update.php is a script that updates the database tables. You usually need to run it after upgrading MediaWiki or installing certain extensions. For details, see [23:02:16] Thanks! I'll take a look
