[00:21:06] Evening everyone. I have a weird question. Is there a Google Drive equivalent of the Google Docs widget? I'm trying to figure out a way to embed PDFs hosted on Google Drive into a mediawiki. [01:53:51] in 1.35: I added "$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid']['forwardCookies'] = true;" like I had used in the past and it caused VEParsoid servicewiring files not to be loaded and VE to fail. [01:54:06] :( so much for cargo cult configuration [05:00:59] DannyS712: If you have a local MW set up now, you may want to take another look at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217951. Would be nice to see that resolved :) [05:03:11] hmm, completely forgot about that. I do have MW set up, should be able to take a look at it in the next few days. Thanks for the reminder :) [05:04:30] also, did you see my response at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/647295 ? [05:11:19] replied [05:11:25] I normally review my queue once or twice a day :) [05:12:12] okay, thanks. I'll try to figure out a better approach - I wouldn't sure about bundling revisionDelete since that also targets mobile and the others only target desktop [10:49:59] hey... as I'm understanding it a 'Project namespace' is for things like... information, policies, guidelines, essays, processes, discussions, etc... [10:50:10] i.e. about the wiki itself [10:50:50] if I don't want that namespace called 'Project' or match the name of the wiki... [10:51:08] would 'Help' be a good word? (it's an opinion thing, but I'd love to hear some) [10:51:10] stevenm: that's what it's traditionally used for, yes [10:51:50] e.g if I wanted to write a page to guide people on our policy on making categories and how to make them... Help:Making Categories [10:51:52] Help is also one of the default namespaces, so you can't rename the project namespace to help [10:52:03] lol I had a feeling someone would say that :P [10:52:19] * stevenm breaks out a thesaurus [10:52:25] any suggestions welcome :P [10:52:51] Notes maybe!? [10:53:41] I've never had this question come up when installing MediaWiki in the past, which is odd... [10:53:45] why not just use the default help namespace since it's already there? [10:54:07] I think that prompt has been there for a long time, but not 100% sure [10:54:11] well it doesn't seem optional to have or not have a project namespace... so it'd got to be called something ? [10:54:44] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_namespace [10:54:53] "There is a large amount of overlap between the Help namespace and the Project namespace (pages with the Wikipedia: prefix)." [10:54:55] no kidding :P [10:57:38] sounds like Help: isn't completely empty - so I like the idea that Help: is official MediaWiki software manuals [10:57:53] and maybe Notes: is specific notes by the admin of that mediawiki? [10:58:24] 'Project' is just going to be one of those terms that completely confuses people [11:02:29] hello! Trying to get mediawiki + wikibase set up perfectly for my project, currently using the official docker images. I want to use the site as both a repo and a client; I've managed to somewhat set up a sitelink, and I can now link items to pages on the same wiki using Special:SetSiteLink. The problem is that the pages aren't linking up the [11:02:29] opposite way, which I've verified by looking at the Page Information (which has "None" next to the item associated with the page), and by trying out the parser function {{#statements:...}} which doesn't work unless I explicitly specifiy the item ID [11:03:27] Are there any tutorials out there on how to get a set up like this working, or maybe someone here has done so before and could donate some wisdom? Been scratching my head since last night trying to get it set up :( [11:04:03] maybe Guide: [11:05:51] If you mean the docs, the docs I've been following are here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation#Enable_sitelinks [11:09:01] seems I got disconnected [11:11:18] nope was talking about something else (unrelated to your question) [11:11:56] ah okay! np [11:40:32] hi all, I need help in setting up my frontpage featuredfeeds extension [11:46:21] hi there Wikimass, please be more specific on what do you need help with [11:57:46] I might actually be totally lost here, so I'll go back to basics. What is the process of linking a wikibase item to a page, so that parser functions like {{#statements:...} work? [12:00:12] I found more specific docs here, but it says that the repo and client should automatically be connected (which they are, if I specifiy the item ID in the function explicitly, all is well). But I'm lost on how to manually create an association with an item in the repo, and a regular mediawiki page. [12:00:12] https://doc.wikimedia.org/Wikibase/master/php/md_docs_topics_repo-client-relationship.html#autotoc_md379 [12:02:54] If I attempt to add a sitelink as is specified in the example, I seem to get mixed messages: https://i.imgur.com/SjPu99l.png [12:04:54] have you set up the sites table correctly? [12:05:18] * Majavah wonders why is there a space between the [ and ceolwiki text in that screenshot [12:05:45] that I'm not sure of, one moment. I'll show the command and the table entry [12:07:30] the wiki's running on localhost. the command I entered (based off the example in the above docs) was: `php addSite.php ceolwiki default --interwiki-id --pagepath http://localhost/wiki/$1 --filepath http://localhost/w/\$1` [12:07:40] https://i.imgur.com/hX6lBgH.png is what that looks like in the database [12:08:07] @Majavah wikimass.org [12:08:49] ceolman: which wikis database is that on? or do you only have one wiki as both client and repo? [12:09:02] one wiki for both the client and the repo [12:09:06] and one db [12:09:25] I want to setup featuredfeeds extension. I have already imported all the pages from wikipedia [12:09:49] any help pls? [12:10:03] I've barely changed the default `docker-compose.yaml` for the official Docker instructions, just to add translation-related extensions [12:10:19] ceolman: what happens if you set $wgLocalDatabases = ['ceolwiki']; in localsettings? [12:10:27] I want the main page to be like that of wikipedia [12:12:16] Wikimass: have you tried following the instructions on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FeaturedFeeds? [12:12:16] I imported the Main Page of Wikipedia and the required Templates and modules [12:13:06] yea, seems i'm not grabbing anything from there [12:13:20] have tried that over 2days now [12:13:25] have you configured $wgFeaturedFeeds in LocalSettings? [12:13:26] I don't seems to get it [12:13:35] yes [12:14:04] Majavah: same thing -- but now I'm assuming that array should contain the name of the database the wiki's using? which I believe is just "my_wiki" from `docker-compose.yml` (I didn't change it) [12:14:11] Featuredfeeds is showing up already in Special:Version [12:14:21] My problem is how to use it [12:14:45] ceolman: you need to use the database name as the site identifier [12:15:05] ah okay, that flew over my head. I'll give that a shot now :) [12:15:07] thank you! [12:17:15] Majavah hope you got what i mean? [12:17:20] Wikimass: Did you set the required configuration and MediaWiki:Ffeed(...) pages? [12:18:10] not yet, Vulpix. That's exactly where i am confused about [12:18:49] What's confusing about the instructions? [12:19:32] FeaturedFeeds creates RSS feeds, it's's not for displaying content on wiki pages if I understand the documentation correctly [12:19:45] deploying featuredfeeds [12:19:49] making it work [12:19:54] the whole process [12:20:43] The whole process requires someone capable of reading, understanding and acting upon the instructions given on the extension's page [12:23:19] okay let me go one more time, I think i found something [12:32:57] Majavah: here's the current progress https://i.imgur.com/9Rj04Oy.png -- still getting this though https://i.imgur.com/ECBXWgQ.png [12:33:41] confirmed that the database name is my_wiki, also have `$wgLocalDatabases = [ 'my_wiki' ];` in LocalSettings [14:32:22] Seem to have gotten a little closer to getting Special:AddSiteLink to work. "my_wiki" is now a hyperlink, but it gives me this page when I try to add a link between an item and a page. https://i.imgur.com/nxVi2pB.png [14:32:44] Any idea what could be up here? [14:32:50] ceolman: sites table? [14:33:45] RhinosF1|NotHere: https://i.imgur.com/iKSBHlE.png [14:35:36] then I don't know [14:35:51] Wikibase took us years to setup at miraheze [14:38:01] yeah, it's still between Wikibase and SMW for me. I haven't actually tried out SMW yet because there doesn't seem to be any generic docker image officially maintained, but Wikibase was easy to get started with. This particular issue is bugging me at the moment though [14:38:07] Everything else has been relatively smooth sailing [14:44:06] have you set anything in wgWBRepoSettings? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation seems to suggest you would need $wgWBRepoSettings['localClientDatabases'] and $wgWBRepoSettings['siteLinkGroups'] [14:44:49] also does the item page show any empty site link groups like Wikisource for example in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1? [14:45:21] no site link groups whatsoever [14:47:27] I'll try the sitelinks part of that and specify "default" in the array, another section of docs said default was automatically included though [14:48:10] YES, that did it! [14:49:14] finally :D [14:49:37] Thank you so much for your help, Majavah and RhinosF1|NotHere! [14:49:52] Hopefully that's the end of those woes, time to add some data :D [18:33:22] Hi everyone. I wanted to work on developing the transliteration feature in sh wikipedia - the stuff that works in sr.wikipedia. I posted a task in the phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268033 and I was wondering if there were some people already working on this... I don't want to duplicate the job. I was bumping here about some three [18:33:22] years ago mentioning my intentions. Anyway I guess nobody is doing this since sh.wikis would surely talk about it but I surely want to check so as not to waste efforts [18:38:20] As I described in the task (bug report or how is it called in phabricator) I would definitely use some help but for now I managing it on my own. What I would like to know is whether I posted this task correctly. Is there some procedure I should have followed for reporting this feature request, or bug (depends how you look at it)? If there was some [18:38:20] procedure, like I should have categorized under some task other than https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T32759, where should I put it? Does it have to be a subtask of someother bigger project or ? [19:25:56] anyone using QuickStatements? I have it running via docker along with mariadb, wikibase, etc. but when I hit the "Log In" button in QuickStatements, I get this https://i.imgur.com/kPM59zf.png [19:26:18] which is found at http://localhost:9191/api.php?action=oauth_redirect (:9191 is QS) [19:28:46] I did find this, but the person who reported it ddn't provide their solution after they resolved it: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help_talk:QuickStatements#Fatal_Error [20:02:30] here's the error minus all the HTML entities, https://dpaste.org/1uH0 [21:34:42] hi, I asked about wikibase on #wikidata but no answer yet, is there a better channel? [21:42:43] probably asking when the wikibase devs are about would help ;) [21:43:21] when are they usually about? [21:43:38] are they in germany? [21:44:31] most of them
