[06:31:07] <piffbaff>	 is there a way to add a link for second, modified version of an URL without having to put it in twice? Specfically, I'd like to be able to give an off-wiki link, and then give that same link as archived on the Wayback Machine, without having to repeat the URL
[06:33:33] <piffbaff>	 so I can just put in "archive.org" and get that as a link, but also automatically generate "https://web.archive.org/web/*/archive.org" next to it, without having to actually write out the latter, except putting "https://web.archive.org/web/*/" in the page source somewhere, or in a template
[06:35:07] <piffbaff>	 creating a template is fine, I just thought there might be something more straightfoward I was overlooking
[09:11:28] <GPEquinox>	 I'm running into a weird issue with aliasing in a Special Page (extension). I was hoping someone here can help me understand what's going on:
[09:11:28] <GPEquinox>	 Let's say I have an extension of my EN wiki named ExtensionA, which is accessible  at Special:ExtensionA. I have defined the following aliases for this extension in an alias file:
[09:11:29] <GPEquinox>	 $specialPageAliases['en'] = array(
[09:11:29] <GPEquinox>	   'ExtensionA' => array( 'ExtensionA', 'AliasNameA', 'AliasNameB' ),
[09:11:30] <GPEquinox>	 );
[09:11:30] <GPEquinox>	 With this aliasing, visiting Special:AliasNameA lets me use the tool too.
[09:11:31] <GPEquinox>	 Now, I wanna launch this Special Page on my Spanish wiki too.
[09:11:31] <GPEquinox>	 If I define the same aliases for 'es', using Special:AliasNameA doesn't work on ES, however using Especial:AliasNameA works (notice that the namespace text is localized)
[09:11:47] <GPEquinox>	 does anyone know why this is happening
[09:13:18] <legoktm>	 GPEquinox: I don't think you're supposed to define the English aliases in Spanish as well
[09:13:31] <legoktm>	 just leave them in the English file and they'll work in Spanish too
[09:13:41] <legoktm>	 leave them *only* in the English file, I meant
[09:14:06] <GPEquinox>	 So just leave the $specialPageAliases['en'] array?
[09:14:15] <GPEquinox>	 that doesn't work either:(
[09:16:00] <GPEquinox>	 here's another piece of info, if that helps with debugging:
[09:16:01] <GPEquinox>	 Here is a line of code from the PHP file of ExtensionA:
[09:16:01] <GPEquinox>	 $this->action = RequestContext::getMain()->getTitle()->getText();
[09:16:02] <GPEquinox>	 On EN, while visiting Special:AliasNameA (an alias for ExtensionA), $this->action gives me AliasNameA
[09:16:23] <GPEquinox>	 however, same thing on Spanish, $this->action gives me ExtensionA (even though I am visiting AliasNameA)
[09:16:33] <GPEquinox>	 Which is why I thought I am messing up my aliases
[09:17:45] <legoktm>	 you shouldn't use ->getText() for special pages, there's a function for it
[09:18:30] <cranberry>	 Hi, could someone point me into the right direction? I want to populate table contents from a HTTP/JSON API, is that possible?
[09:18:34] <legoktm>	 use ->isSpecial( $name )
[09:18:45] <GPEquinox>	 ah okay
[09:18:46] <legoktm>	 cranberry: like an on-wiki table?
[09:19:16] <GPEquinox>	 Maybe parse the JSON contents returned from an API and make a DB call? If it is slow, you might wanna do it in batches or using a MW Job?
[09:19:20] <GPEquinox>	 legoktm may have better ideas
[09:19:37] <cranberry>	 Yes like a regular table and through some logic define which part of the JSON go into which column/row
[09:20:16] <legoktm>	 I've heard some people use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:External_Data but I've never tried it myself
[09:20:30] <cranberry>	 Ohh that looks promising, thank you!!
[09:20:40] <GPEquinox>	 try parsing the JSON, so you have all the data you need. You should be able to then make a DB call once you have all cols/ table info
[09:21:55] <cranberry>	 Thanks, I'll look into it. Have not worked much with it but want to get the info on the wiki in sync with the infos other programs pull
[09:30:07] <GPEquinox>	 Ok, I just found out some weird behavior with the way $specialPageAliases work
[09:30:07] <GPEquinox>	 legoktm - do you know if this behavior is expected:
[09:30:08] <GPEquinox>	 Here's my new alias array:
[09:30:08] <GPEquinox>	 $specialPageAliases['en'] = array(
[09:30:09] <GPEquinox>	   'ExtensionA' => array(  'AliasA', 'AliasB' ),
[09:30:09] <GPEquinox>	 );
[09:30:10] <GPEquinox>	 On my English site, visiting Special:AliasA and Special:AliasB work as expected
[09:30:10] <GPEquinox>	 Now on Spanish (note that I haven't added any Spanish alias array),
[09:30:11] <GPEquinox>	 Going to Special:AliasA work fine (I am assuming since it is defined as the first alias in the array)
[09:30:11] <GPEquinox>	 Going to Special:AliasB takes me to AliasA (here is the bug)
[09:30:36] <GPEquinox>	 On English, the aliases don't redirect to each other
[09:30:36] <GPEquinox>	 AliasA takes me to AliasA
[09:30:39] <GPEquinox>	 AliasB takes me to AliasB
[09:30:44] <GPEquinox>	 on Spanish, AliasB redirects to AliasA
[09:31:45] <legoktm>	 tbh I don't remember if that's expected behavior, I'd need to check but I'm actually supposed to sleep now, sorry
[09:31:57] <GPEquinox>	 Sorry about that
[09:32:00] <GPEquinox>	 Thansk for your help
[09:32:01] <GPEquinox>	 Night!
[15:37:01] <dessswq>	 I just installed a wiki but I can't log in, because since when I try it I get a database error.

[15:45:42] <Reedy>	 You've added an extension (OATHAuth) and not run update.php afterwards
[15:47:00] <dessswq>	 I didn't know I had to run update.php after installing OATHAuth
[15:47:36] <Reedy>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OATHAuth#Installation
[15:47:37] <dessswq>	 And how do I do?
[15:47:41] <Reedy>	 >Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
[15:48:01] <Reedy>	 !update
[15:48:01] <wm-bot>	 update.php is a script that updates the database tables. You usually need to run it after upgrading MediaWiki or installing certain extensions. For details, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Run_the_update_script>
[15:53:41] <dessswq>	 Ok. Thanks.
[20:00:01] <GPEquinox>	 Does anyone know id there is limit to the number of $specialPageAliases I can have for a particular language?
