[00:15:51] is it possible to create a page similar to "Special:Categories" using generic templates in mediawiki? I need to create a page with the number of articles for top categories; how can I do that? [00:18:10] Is that not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MostLinkedCategories ? [00:23:53] thanks Reedy [00:24:00] I need a subset of this [00:24:45] is it possible to do without resorting to writing code outside of a mediawiki? [00:25:23] Simplest way would be writing a PHP subclass [00:30:49] perhaps I should look for an extension, maybe someone has already made one... [00:31:08] I don't know PHP, I will have to hire someone if I go down that route... [00:33:16] You can probably get someone to write it for you [00:33:27] It's probably 5-10 lines [00:35:39] ok, thank you for the information [11:23:42] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Blocksimpang [11:23:52] looks odd this user, claiming to be an admin [11:24:11] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Blocksimpang [11:25:41] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/FitnessStore12 [11:25:45] and one spammer to block [13:37:49] hello! anyone using the development docker images and has it working - something is wrong with the short urls and i get 404s al the time [15:04:33] nvm, hacked it in the Dockerfile :-D [15:47:32] are the LocalSettings.phps for WMF wikis available to view? [15:48:00] I can see https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php [15:48:11] I don't think we have LocalSettings.php :D [15:48:35] oh, does it not work like for WMF wikis? [15:48:55] no idea why but the files are named differently [15:49:08] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/mediawiki-config/+/refs/heads/master/wmf-config [15:49:54] CommonSettings.php and InitialiseSettings.php contain most things [15:49:57] right so that looks like it generates the LocalSettings.php (or whatever) [15:50:17] but the actual end result is not kicking about somewhere? [15:51:19] does anyone know how to change the content licenses on a self hosted wiki [15:52:24] Cocopuff2018: $wgRights* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Copyright_variables [15:53:44] inductiveload: I think they are cached to JSON files on production, but not 100% sure [15:54:03] is getting a newer licenses free or cost money [15:54:26] wmf-config/CommonSettings.php is the main entry point anyways for our mediawiki config [15:54:40] ok, just curious [15:55:01] i'm trying to set up a test wiki and wanted to steal some config so I could be the same [15:55:27] there is other test wikis aswell @inductiveload that you can request admin on [15:55:47] i want to mess with extension code tho [15:55:56] do you know how to do extensions? [15:56:01] not yet [15:56:38] if you want to use my wiki i have tons of extensions and if you want i can add extensions by your request [15:56:38] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230415 needs fixing and I'mma fix it [15:57:32] thanks, but I've got a wiki running in docker, I just need to figure out the configs to make things work like Wikisource [15:57:43] if you need help i can help you set up [15:57:59] well, I've got the ProofreadPAge extension working [15:58:07] but looks like no thumbnails [15:59:08] you also need to set up permissions [15:59:36] you mean to make myself an admin? [15:59:45] and for some extensions you do need to run update.php [15:59:56] yep, did that [16:00:09] no, to give yourself permission to use certain extensions [16:00:19] most extensions have sensible defaults [16:01:35] not all of them i had to give myself acess to the disable account extension' [16:02:40] to manage permissions you do it in your default.php file [16:04:26] thanks :-) [16:04:47] setting up Automatic email is a pain in the ass you basically have to make your own email [16:05:04] that's OK, I won't need that [16:05:07] and use it as a automatic email sender for reset password [16:05:26] it's just for hacking on stuff, not as an actual wiki [16:06:00] if its just for you i would recommend making it private [16:06:12] or disabling registering accounts. [16:06:20] it's running on localhost:8080 ;-) [16:06:29] if anyone's logging in, I've got issues [16:06:54] like a gaping hole in the firewall [16:06:56] I can see a wiki just fine on localhost:8080 [16:07:01] :D [16:07:10] hax! [16:07:26] my wiki Settings run on WinScp [16:08:06] my wikis are also on [abcd].mediawiki.test [16:08:46] if you do not run update.php your wiki will crash [16:09:29] wikimedia wikis havent run update.php in years [16:09:37] if ever [16:12:40] actually, there was a bug some time ago which caused it to run automatically which caused a major outage on all wm wikis [16:13:25] i wish update.php was automatic on my wiki [16:18:48] is it possible to give multiple users acess to your server [16:21:33] depends on your servers operating system, software, and other factors [16:24:10] this seems like alot of work to do [16:26:29] @Majavah how are you soo good at mediawiki [16:29:29] i'm really not, i just look things up from the documentation or source code when I need them [16:51:04] .does anyone know how i can get intouch with the portableinfobox develepor [16:53:43] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PortableInfobox [16:53:57] there's an author listed on the infobox, maybe try leaving a talk page message? [16:54:14] yeh i can try hopefully he is still active [17:37:44] is anyone here good with portableinfoboxes [17:38:51] !ask [17:38:51] Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [17:39:59] Run away from portable infoboxes. Learn wiki code, tables and CSS, and create them using normal wiki code [17:45:40] But i cannot run away from it because Infoboxes is one of the main things of mediawiki [17:45:50] that makes the pages look good [17:54:09] Main thing? I don't use Portable Infoboxes and my infoboxes look very good [17:59:19] ): i am missing an extension and i cannot figure out what [18:20:18] @Vulpix can i see your wiki please so i can use it to figure out what i am missing [18:27:45] Cocopuff2018: https://www.wikidex.net/ [18:28:11] dang i like the background [18:29:38] your using the kinda older skin [19:14:57] is anyone here good with connecting a wiki to a wiki family [19:24:34] !ask [19:24:34] Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [19:38:49] Is the new mediawiki Version out yet [19:39:55] oh lol. [19:40:12] probably for the best [19:40:13] it was temporarily unset here [19:40:22] because it was catching buovjaga [19:40:34] could have +e'd him [19:40:36] speaking of which, buovjaga: I suggest getting a cloak. That will get around the ban on your host [19:40:40] yeah going to do that temporarily [19:40:50] Skizzerz: just do a +e IMO [19:40:53] for them [19:43:55] er [19:43:57] derp [19:44:02] I wanted to check the banlist of it :P [19:44:19] noob [19:44:28] ikr [19:44:30] I got the order flipped [19:44:38] and this is why I don't stay opped :< [20:35:24] my New Year's resolution is to get a cloak [20:39:33] if you are waiting for a wikimedia cloak, i recommend requesting a freenode unaffliated cloak in the mean time [21:32:08] Can anyone help me with a infobox issue ? [21:32:52] http://neko.kazdel.com/index.php/Emergence_(TV_series) [21:33:02] no, you're banned from this channel [21:33:17] as you can see here it has a error and needs something and i Imported the infobox aswell does anyone know how to fix it or what i need for it to work [22:28:28] How would I regex replace "kin'toni Games Setting" with "Kin'toni Games Setting" (just those two srings) [22:28:48] I want to avoid find replacing kin'toni with Kin'toni # [22:29:05] then specify the entire thing as your search and replacement [22:29:12] nothing says regex can't have spaces in it [22:29:14] I am asking here as I am using AutoWikiBroswer to do it [22:29:43] I son't know how to replace with regex [22:29:51] find: "kin'toni Games Setting" replace: "Kin'toni Games Setting" [22:30:08] TY [22:30:24] (without the quotes, unless the quotes are actually part of the content you're attempting to replace) [22:32:04] Thankjs
