[04:17:56] Can anyone help with wiki hosting [11:51:10] Hello. I want to restrict all Special Pages only to the 'sysop' group. Meaning, I do not want all users having access to the Special namespace. To do so, I am using the Lockdown extension's: $wgNamespacePermissionLockdown[NS_SPECIAL]['*'] = [ 'sysop' ];But, it is not working. I can still view the Special pages as an 'all' user... Any ideas on how [11:51:11] to get this to work with Lockdown? Does the extension treat NS_SPECIAL differently? [12:52:03] Hi guys, is it possible to search for wiki articles based on tags or classification? If yes, how can this be done? [17:51:13] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Operations/ICU_announcement this software is only useful for intl wikis with different alphabets yes? not needed for English wikis? [17:55:35] it's used for all collation [17:56:09] I guess that the sorting order does not change for tain-1 characters but I have not looked at it tbh [17:58:29] MW 1.35 Is there a best practices for MW Page Forms when defining an address? Would the "Street Address" just be text, the city and state pages as they are hauled in from WP and then Coordinates for the whole thing on a map? THx [18:22:11] apergos: wanted to make sure, I was prepping our environment for 1.35 and noticed that ICU was installed on our dev machine but not our production one, so I wanted to make sure it was really needed before adding another package [18:23:12] c: what version are you using now? [18:23:17] out of curiosity [18:23:19] 1.34 [18:23:39] without libicu? [18:24:03] I expect you already have it automatically [18:26:05] php --info| grep -i icu does tha spit out something for you? [18:29:37] i searched via apt, it is there on both machines, but not present on Special:Version on the live site it seems [18:29:41] same version [18:35:00] strange [18:39:30] huh [18:39:34] well anywyas [18:41:23] why wouldn't MediaWiki show it on Special:Version, that messes with my OCD [18:41:31] I honestly do not know [18:41:57] * apergos loads up their local install that's somewhat older [18:42:07] omg it's going to take forever... anyways [18:42:45] I see it right after mediawii, php, mariadb [18:42:51] first table [18:44:34] yeah, i see the same thing...but only on the devbox [18:51:50] hi guys' [19:05:03] c: if your wiki is English only, ICU is likely not really needed [19:05:36] it is required for PHP's intl extension [19:05:51] that's what I took from the announcement, but if the library is automatically installed, no need to worry about it either way [19:06:13] so if you do not install that extension and you do not use PostgreSQL or something else, it will likely not be installed [19:07:24] apt said it was an automatic install, so something included it. I don't remember installing it manually. just the oddity in display between dev and prod was peculiar [19:07:38] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/PHP_configuration does not seem to mention intl either [19:07:48] but the source code does have IcuCollation.php that uses it [19:08:23] c: wonder if apt has a pkg-like option to show reverse dependencies [19:09:44] like so: % pkg info -r icu-68.1,1 \ icu-68.1,1: dovecot-2.3.11.3_1 sqlite3-3.33.0_1,1 php74-intl-7.4.11 [19:10:06] but likely you have intl installed as some default php extensions bundle [19:11:57] possibly! [21:36:36] MW 1.35 MW Page Forms: There appears to be a standard height/width for inputs like say for =Page. How do I define that for =Text which is larger. Thanx [22:50:42] greetings
