[10:58:39] yes [10:59:03] it was made configurable by upstream a few days ago though, it will be in the swift 1.7.0 release [14:42:46] Question: we want, in hewiki, to add a link for anons to their talkpage, if and only if it's not empty. i did not find how to figure out if the page is empty. i tried, e.g., to use "Special:Mytalk", but it seems that the API will not tell me if this particular page exists. [16:05:41] kipod {{#ifexist: }} ? [16:07:21] Platoniders: problem is to get actual user name. i do not think {{#ifexist:Special:Mytalk}} works as advertised... [16:07:59] no, that won't work [16:08:20] where do you want to add that? [16:10:32] the idea is to add next to "log in/create account" a link to the anon's talkpage, but only do it if such page already exists. [16:11:23] so the anon will be able to get to previous messages someone (usually sysop or patroller) left them in theuir talkpage. [16:11:48] however, we do not want to add links to such talkpage if it does not exist already... [16:12:37] i think i found the api call that will do it: it's "userinfo". will implement through JS. peace. [16:16:04] it doesn't seem a good idea [16:16:25] it will show the link for a dynamic ip even if the message was sent in 2005 [16:16:42] not to mention the large number of api queries it means [16:16:59] what's wrong with the notification bar? [16:22:51] Platonides: dynamic bar is great, but once the anon visits this page it disappears, and they do not have good way to go back there. [16:23:35] so if they want to reread the message or add something, they don't have a good way to get to it. [16:24:43] this concern was raised by one of the sysops in hewiki. [16:31:50] I recommend you get a statement from ops that it is ok to do an api query for each anon user of hewiki [17:14:29] Platonides: regarding the api calls, i do not worry. we execute quite a lot of code for each page loaded, and adding two api calls is no big deal. regarding old anan talkpages: in hewiki these pages are scrubbed periodically, and old anon talkpages get deleted (usually within weeks). peace. [17:14:48] s/anan/anon/ [18:15:21] kipod, I'm not concerned about time to page load [18:15:40] but the poor servers when adding a new uncached query for each page view [18:16:01] (except logged-in users, but those are few in comparison) [19:21:04] Hi there! Does anyone know who to contact regarding Wikimedia dumps? [19:29:16] foks: Hydriz IIRC [19:31:09] Thanks! I'll look into it. [19:47:03] Alguien me ayuda con una solicitud en test.wiki [19:47:08] :) ? [19:52:43] HI?
