[16:39:16] hmm, as we can't use tinyurl on wikidata, how can we link to a precise sparql query on a project discussion page? [17:19:06] Harmonia_Amanda: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links#External_links ? [17:20:11] rom1504: doesn't say how to link to a blacklisted site (and that seems logical) [17:20:53] and doesn't say whicj url shortener we should use if tinyurl is banned [17:21:01] Harmonia_Amanda: your sparql endpoint is blacklisted ? [17:21:32] rom1504: the tinyurl to my sparql query is blacklisted [17:21:36] is there a limit to the size of external links ? [17:21:43] because all tinyurl are blacklisted [17:21:45] Harmonia_Amanda: why do you need to use a tinyurl ? [17:22:54] because not everyone as a screen which can read an url of an hundred signs? [17:23:19] you can hide the url with a mediawiki external link [17:23:47] [http://your_super_long_url sparqlquery] [17:24:02] and if you want to copy this url in your phone for example, then you can't [17:24:05] or short it using http://urlshortener.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:UrlShortener [17:24:26] Stryn: ah, this one isn't banned? [17:24:38] it should not [17:24:44] my phone has a browser which can go to discussion pages [17:24:50] Stryn: then we should use this one on the queries pages instead of tinyurl [17:27:26] :( that wiki is also getting spammed [17:27:45] legoktm: ^ [17:27:54] maybe restrict account creation there? [19:37:32] ehhhhhhh [19:37:42] Stryn: please don't use that wiki for anything other than testing [19:38:11] Glaisher: o.O they made it through the questycapcha?? [19:39:21] ok, Harmonia_Amanda ^ so, no :/ [19:39:34] Stryn: ok [19:39:42] http://urlshortener.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&type=revision&diff=5387&oldid=5381 [19:40:21] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108557 is the bug to deploy it properly [19:48:03] Help, something is broken... https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendariat linked to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendary, but not vice-versa. (Q465288) I removed the enwp link from the item (which added 1,038 byte(?)) and then re-added the link, and now it shows up on enwp again. What is broken here? [19:48:03] https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q465288&action=history [19:48:27] aude, Lydia_WMDE? [19:52:38] anyone? [19:53:48] nothing is broken it seems... [19:54:13] if you didn't see the link, maybe it was just some cache problems [19:54:31] weird, beacuse it didn't show up on enwp before (saw other items earlier today). [19:54:41] And Huon reported this one to me [19:55:00] what's even weired for me, is how removing a link can add bytes. [19:55:53] about links not showing: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T47839 [19:56:26] oh, thanks [19:57:52] odd [19:57:59] and the byte changes: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T41189 it's not a bug, just change in the data model or so...
