[00:19:13] Hey, just recently migrated a wiki to a new server and cirrus is giving me issues, am I in the right place? :P [15:29:08] Hello, just curious about the "personal tools" bug (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265543). I still see it on quite a few articles (mostly on en-wiki, but think I've seen a few on sv-wiki) and don't really understand the bugtracker. Is it truly fixed and is just cached on some articles? eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyl_cat , [15:29:09] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_law_clerks_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States_(Seat_9) [15:30:59] Looks like a fix has been made/merged/deployed etc [15:31:13] Mostly purge the pages when you see it, and it should clear it [15:40:05] Aha, that did it, thanks! And if it wasn't obvious, I'm not very educated on how the whole wikimedia is structured, just would have thought someone higher up would have scripted a cache purge everywhere after deploying the fix, but maybe that'd cause more harm than good? [15:41:31] It's a hard one [15:41:46] I don't know how widely the pages are broken. It's definitely not zero, but it's also far from 50%+ etc [15:42:17] When you've been around a while, most people tend to know to purge/null edit a page incase of issues [15:42:59] just little tricks you pick up along the way ;) [15:44:06] Thinking more about the other 99% of visitors, but yeah, guess it fixes itself inch by inch whenever someone edits pages :D [15:45:40] indeed [15:45:53] Feel free to browse many pages and see if they're broken and purge them ;pP [17:09:09] hey there! i am using mediawiki on python and while im searching for the term mother what appears is the father page... [17:09:12] why is that? [17:18:40] can somebody help? [18:29:24] MediaWiki on python? [18:29:26] * Reedy shrugs [18:38:33] er wat [18:52:44] I was wanting to create a database for a game I play with some friends, but I want it somewhat private. What can I use to create such a thing? [18:56:19] Kirby: what kind of hopes, desires or expectations do you have beyond e.g. a spreadsheet in a shared folder? [18:58:04] [19:08:42] My initial thought was to compile data into a spreadsheet, but with the many different items, classes, quest guides, and other data points; I was concerned about the layout/interface being too busy or sloppy for a lack of better description [20:23:51] Kirby: well, a wiki could certainly work of course, this is a MediaWiki channel after all :) [20:24:18] one could have different pages for different subsets of the data. But out of the box that would mainly be for human consumption, e.g. like a shared document with a table on it. [20:24:45] If you want somethig more machine readable as well, in favour of a more verbose edit interface, Wikibase or SemanticMW could be useful. [20:25:35] or if the collaborators are all tech-savvy, a git repo with some json files could suffice, turned into a static HTML site for viewing experience.
