[05:01:57] <cloudcell>	 hello, if I never used the project namespace before, but I want to change the variable $wgMetaNamespace (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMetaNamespace), will I break anything in the wiki database?
[05:11:55] <legoktm>	 cloudcell: no, but any links in page text that used the old namespace will need to be updated
[05:12:22] <cloudcell>	 ok, great! thanks legoktm 
[05:12:32] <legoktm>	 note that "Project:" will always be an alias for the meta namespace
[05:12:48] <cloudcell>	 it's just for some reason my namespace was named Pn although I wanted to name it PN
[05:13:00] <cloudcell>	 and thanks for that too
[05:13:30] <legoktm>	 cloudcell: actually I take that back, it can cause problems if you have pages named "PN:whatever" that would now be under the namespace
[05:13:53] <legoktm>	 you should run the namespaceDupes.php script, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:NamespaceDupes.php
[05:14:06] <cloudcell>	 thanks again
[05:14:27] <cloudcell>	 I have not yet managed to create any pages in that namespace, so I should be alright
[07:59:10] <Majavah>	 Uhhh, why does Phan like Title::makeTitleSafe but not TitleFactory::makeTitleSafe (which just calls Title::makeTitleSafe and has the same @return doc comment)?
[07:59:16] <Majavah>	 case is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth/+/651945/
[11:51:02] <cloudcell>	 if anyone used the extension "ExternalData", what does this error message mean: "Error: File name "rank.csv" is not allowed for directory ID "datafolder"." ???
[11:53:31] <Vulpix>	 !e ExternalData
[11:53:31] <wm-bot>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExternalData
[11:54:02] <cloudcell>	 I read this page already
[11:54:17] <Vulpix>	 Did you set $edgDirectoryPath['ID'] = "local directory path"; ?
[11:55:41] <cloudcell>	 yes
[11:56:55] <cloudcell>	 i am modifying this example
[11:56:59] <cloudcell>	 https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/VVpVW16B/
[11:58:29] <cloudcell>	 and setting 'Our test results' ... like this $edgDirectoryPath['datafolder'] = '/folder/subfolder/blahblah/;
[12:01:20] <Vulpix>	 Looks like it should be set as: $edgDirectoryPath['Our test results'] = '/folder/subfolder/blahblah/;
[12:04:25] <cloudcell>	 this is how I set it... even with a single quote mark at the end of the line...
[12:04:40] <cloudcell>	 and the precise text of the query is as follows:
[12:04:45] <cloudcell>	 https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/QWlvzW9A/
[12:05:44] <cloudcell>	 oh, sorry, i think i found the error
[12:10:11] <cloudcell>	 I'm definitely not at my best at this hour after working the whole day.... thanks for helping
[12:10:38] <Vulpix>	 yw
[12:10:51] <cloudcell>	 the path was set wrong
[12:41:51] <cloudcell>	 I've got another question which I cannot figure out myself, why does the following display only the headings, and no data?
[12:41:56] <cloudcell>	 https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/aiboHtzJ/
[13:14:17] <cloudcell>	 problem solved, I should have used  "format=CSV with header"...
[13:57:56] <cloudcell>	 another question: how can I make tables sorted by a selected column by default on page loading ?
[13:58:20] <cloudcell>	 it seems there was some module Sort that could have been used but it was deleted
[13:58:36] <cloudcell>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Module:Sort
[14:07:57] <DennisRoczek>	 uhm, why not simply sort the data in advance? :p
[14:14:40] <cloudcell>	 probably that's what I will have to do, based on this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T33332
[19:30:17] <Remilia>	 Extension:Cargo makes me sad every time I need to do anything related to DB maintenance
[19:30:31] <Remilia>	 I really need to set aside some time for a thorough code review
[22:59:00] <harmaahylje>	 Remilia: what's cargo for, and what kind of issues does it have?
