[00:07:44] hi [00:07:51] world [00:08:24] mails from MediaWiki that tell me about an edit on my talk page contain "$PAGEINTRO" in the beginning [00:08:33] is this a known bug? [00:08:35] hah [00:08:56] (de.wikipedia) [00:10:13] ireas: edit my talk page? [00:10:27] SUL=ircnick [00:11:27] done [00:11:37] I can forward you the notification mail(s) I got [00:20:13] csteipp: around? [00:21:21] ireas: hello :) [00:21:30] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42752 [00:23:26] hi Nemo_bis! thank you! [00:23:41] sDrewth: what's up? [00:23:56] AaronSchulz would probably the one to ask about it as it seems to be a jobqueue issues [00:24:06] just found a long blocked IP able to be used to edit at Voy: [00:24:18] ireas: you left me a message? i didn't seem to get a notification [00:24:38] jeremyb: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer_Diskussion:Jeremyb [00:25:38] ireas: grrr, apparently i didn't have it enabled there. (i do have it on on most wikis... can haz global prefs??) [00:25:41] sDrewth: File a bug? [00:25:44] ireas: anyway, it's on now ;) [00:25:52] so jeremyb wanted to get a reality check on the why/how? A check today inicates that IP block is working [00:25:54] sDrewth: yeah, file [00:26:09] was more after the discussion initially [00:26:51] jeremyb: hehe. it is reported for de.wp already, so i guess we'll have to wait ... https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42752#c20 but i'll trigger a new notification for you anyway [00:29:46] ireas: yeah, i saw [00:30:07] * jeremyb has to run away for a while [01:38:27] Does anyone know where I would find documentation for the articlefeedback API? [01:38:41] api.php [01:38:47] use the auto-generated documentation [01:39:07] api.php what? [01:39:38] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php [01:39:47] Where would I find auto-generated documentation? [01:40:15] on that page... [01:42:10] Hmmm... does it not let me list the most recent feedback for all pages? [01:43:07] im not sure, i havent taken a look at it yet [01:43:42] Franco|Andro wants a bot to autohide feedback like 'hello' [01:45:42] use the edit filter [01:47:51] Doesn't the edit filter keep people from making edits? How would that help? [01:48:13] AFTv5 has AbuseFilter integration [01:48:21] AbuseFilters can be used to block bad feedback [01:48:33] Ah, I see [01:50:24] For example, the English Wikipedia has this filter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/458 [02:01:48] Thanks legoktm, Krenair; I've told Franco about your suggestion [02:02:30] yw [02:17:05] legoktm, Krenair: Franco|Andro says he thinks that a filter would hit the >10% limit. Can someone test this? [02:17:22] there's not a good way to test it... [02:17:48] Not AFAIK, but you can probably test it live anyway [02:17:58] What exactly do you want the conditions to be anyway? [02:19:37] Krenair see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Francophonie%26Androphilie/Auto-resolve [02:20:44] I'm not sure warnings work for AFTv5 + AbuseFilter [02:23:25] The whole discussion is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wolfgang42#You_asked_me_to_remind_you... [02:52:16] Hey all. Any news? [02:52:36] about...? [02:52:49] I just got an error that came up (and then decided to refresh and go away) [02:53:00] do you know the error message? [02:53:28] Anyone? [02:53:52] I'll look around and see what I can dig up [02:54:08] huh? [02:54:14] Wikipedia has problems? [02:54:36] Apparently for me too. [02:54:38] * legoktm reloads the page [02:54:44] I got an error then it immediately refreshed and went away. [02:54:49] worksforme. [02:54:55] I'm in US though [02:55:39] oh [02:55:55] No such problems here (US) [02:56:15] for me looks like it is having no CSSS [02:56:18] *CSS [02:56:58] I had that as well, no CSS/JS and then I refreshed, same, refreshed again, error, then it instantly refreshed itself and went to normal [02:57:05] Yet I just created a page no problem. [02:57:13] (I'm in Southern US [02:57:14] ) [02:58:43] For some reason the wifi at my job blocks *.wikimedia.org over https [02:59:02] So I don't get any CSS, JS or images unless I use plain http [02:59:13] Oh. Well, I'm on plain http, and it happened. [03:01:45] wolfgang42: heh, i wonder if it's some badly-implemented proxy that tries to catch domain typos [03:02:05] ori-l you mean my job wifi? [03:02:16] No, it's a completely paranoid content filter [03:02:28] It blocks wikimedia.org for being `Freeware' [03:02:47] 'socialist' [03:02:49] xD really? [03:02:55] hm, I have it good again [03:03:00] *working [03:03:15] Me too. Strange. [03:03:43] i can't reproduce... hrm. [03:04:25] It also blocks a google search for `cracks in the sidewalk' [03:04:33] ... as `Criminal skills' [03:04:58] Your IT guy must have fun reviewing your history (assuming he actually takes the time) [03:05:11] And http://figlet.org (an ASCII art generator) for `Internet dating' [03:05:20] Nope, he hasn't touched the filter in years [03:05:27] It's M86 [03:05:29] Wow, that explains the weird blocks then [03:06:00] He also can't figure out how to disable the antivirus software when it deletes an application he uses [03:06:12] You need a new IT guy then [03:06:12] So he uses an older version of it that doesn't get deleted [03:07:00] Another irritating thing: Us mortals have to change our passwords every 30 days [03:07:15] But he hasn't changed the admin password in at least 2 years [03:07:26] Does he tell yall the admin pwd? [03:07:30] No [03:07:39] Oh lol. Then why change it? [03:08:14] The reason I found out was because I was asking him how a printer was configured, and he discovered that it was authenticating to the network using his account [03:08:21] Wow [03:08:28] And he hadn't touched the printer in years [03:08:49] Ya'll seriously need a new IT guy [03:09:26] Tell me something I don't know [03:09:35] xD [03:10:05] Over the summer he reconfigured the 'M:\' drive, which is a shared network drive that gets mounted for each user so they can store their files [03:10:15] (It's a different folder for each user) [03:10:18] Right. [03:10:50] good bye [03:10:51] And accidentally made the filesystem world-writable, so anyone could change anyone else's files by going to \\fs02 [03:11:06] Wow. That's totally not what he was trying to do probably [03:11:13] No, not at all [03:12:07] Once I needed admin privileges on a computer, so he gave me admin on my account for that computer but never took out the standard restrictions [03:12:24] So I could edit settings but couldn't open the control panel to do it [03:12:30] :p [03:12:35] That's strange. [03:12:40] Do you still run XP at your office? [03:13:00] We upgraded to 7 last year [03:13:07] Oh. Okay. [03:13:11] But I actually have a laptop running Ubuntu [03:13:14] Are you going to be upgrading to 8? [03:13:34] No idea. I hope not [03:14:07] Haha, yeah. I've been running Release Preview on a desktop. It's a great idea, but better desktop (or laptop w/o touch) features need worked in. [03:14:27] And, in saying that, I've had a Latitude 10 tablet on order for over a month now. It's supposed to get here wednesday lol. [03:14:31] I feel both ways about it I guess. [03:14:36] I have a friend who absolutely loves it [03:14:44] Personally I prefer Linux [03:15:00] I don't. I couldn't ever wrap my head around having to use WINE for everything I do. [03:16:22] Most of what I do doesn't need WINE, fortunately [03:16:40] But I do keep XP in VirtualBox in case I need it [03:16:45] I would, mostly for pleasure. I do a lot of things that, on a work tablet, would need a Windows program. [14:13:50] Is mark, RobH_ or anyone else awake to report a MitM attack proxy? [14:30:13] @staff, do we or can we do anything about sites that redirect to one of our wikis, and not one for which we have control [14:30:26] facebok.fi -> fiwiki [15:12:24] sDrewth: what's the problem with that? [15:13:02] ah, that it *doesn't* redirect [15:13:15] str4nd: are you here for that one? [15:14:20] str4nd: brought it to me [15:14:42] if yes you can probably copy pietrodn's solution for wikipedia.it (our long-hated enemy) [15:14:45] if (mw.config.get('wgIsMainPage') && top != self) top.location.replace('http://toolserver.org/~pietrodn/wikipedia_redirect.php'); [15:14:52] https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js [15:16:00] 1257063 visitors saved so far from the helplessness of our legals ;) [15:16:40] (the first million was in the first month IIRC, then they lost their battle and changed their squatting techique) [15:23:14] Nemo_bis, can we determine how many logins (and from which accounts) has logined via the proxy? [15:23:27] rggh, engrish [15:24:44] Nemo_bis, the ip is 50.19.183.254 [15:27:35] str4nd: I don't know, but first thing to do is redirect people to correct place [15:27:53] I'll do that [15:27:56] you cal also add a warning about the need to change passwords and whatever [15:28:13] and it will also give you an estimate of how many people were using it [15:33:14] Roger, if we have the information of users, we could warn them directly [22:29:46] !log en.wiki job queue spiked from 1 to 3 millions in last 3 hours [22:29:54] Logged the message, Master [22:29:55] AaronSchulz: ^ [22:34:21] have you had a look to see what templates might have been edited around the time of the spike? [22:34:33] gah I keep saying I am going to afk and then I don't [22:34:46] anyways Nemo_bis I would take a look at that [22:34:50] apergos: it started spiking immediately after wmf6 deploy [22:34:56] apergos: noooo sleep [22:34:56] even so [22:35:00] I am going to [22:35:02] or read, or whatever [22:35:11] Reedy: worth rollbacking to wmf5? [22:35:29] it will be at a few dozens millions by tomorrow [22:35:54] (tomorrow PST I mean) [22:36:35] I see some enwik refreshlinks2 going right now [22:37:06] Ditto, there's a load of enwiki job queue activity [22:37:30] (in the runjobs log) [22:37:38] yeah just looking there [22:37:53] I was also looking at a live run on one of the runner hosts [22:38:21] anyways I amm really [22:38:24] walking away [22:38:28] right. now. [22:38:55] almost no changes in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChangesLinked&hidebots=0&target=Wikipedia%3ADatabase_reports%2FTemplates_transcluded_on_the_most_pages [22:39:24] this was a hours after the spike started https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Coord/dec2dms/dms&curid=10530455&diff=528524429&oldid=388525547 [22:39:31] I'm confused how swapping to wmf6 would apparently grow at such a rate [22:39:59] AaronSchulz: ^^^ [22:40:44] commons (for example) has < 1500 jobs [22:44:11] fenari going down [22:44:26] !! :) [22:44:26] A red exclamation mark (!) in the recent changes or on your watchlist means that edit is not patrolled yet. Read more about patrolling at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Patrolled_edits and configuration at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseRCPatrol [22:44:33] !del !! [22:44:51] notpeter: good luck on that upgrade [23:04:00] notpeter: glad my screen finished a few days back :) [23:04:07] heh [23:04:30] Reedy: meh, that's expected [23:04:41] it's ok as long as no problems are caused [23:04:54] greeat :p [23:04:58] Nemo_bis: ^ [23:06:12] * AaronSchulz goes to back to finishing redis queue stuff [23:09:05] Nemo_bis: Keep an eye on it... [23:09:26] what's fenari uptime? [23:11:12] reedy@fenari:/home/wikipedia/common$ uptime [23:11:13] 22:55:23 up 81 days, 20:17, 11 users, load average: 2.27, 0.99, 0.45 [23:11:16] + 5 minutes or so [23:11:23] Hmmm. [23:11:35] I'm going to have to upgrade again [23:11:41] er [23:11:41] https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home [23:11:44] reboot [23:11:45] Images aren't loading for me there. [23:11:46] Linux fenari 2.6.32-38-server #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:26:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux [23:11:46] Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS [23:11:49] I was going to say ;) [23:12:03] Susan: none of them? [23:12:14] upload.wikimedia.org over HTTPS seems slow. [23:12:15] Reedy: Ubuntu over9000.04.1 LTS is the goal [23:12:28] Hmm, better now. [23:12:30] Susan: yes, there are some issues. being worked on in ops [23:12:32] er [23:12:42] #wikimedia-operations [23:14:51] All right. [23:16:48] mutante: lmfao [23:20:08] what would be the right channel for a server configuration issue (wrong mime-type) ? [23:23:48] probably this [23:23:54] or you can open a bug [23:24:07] * Susan eyes Reedy. [23:25:16] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=822216 : A webm video is served as text/plain and Gecko browser refuse to play text files [23:26:11] Understandably so [23:26:41] What if it was an asciimation though? Native asciimation support would be cool [23:27:30] Heh. [23:27:47] video/ascii is currently not supported :-) [23:28:01] Yet! [23:28:05] something is technically wrong. [23:28:13] Hi Sage. [23:28:25] so, should I file a bug in wikimedias bugzilla ? [23:28:36] Nightdive: Yes, please! [23:28:48] emails for watchlist changes are saying $CHANGEDORCREATED instead of the normal string. [23:28:49] https://bugs.wikimedia.org [23:28:51] users in Europe use indeed a different dataserver [23:29:14] ragesoss: Silly. I think there's an open bug about that somewhere. [23:29:20] I saw a similar report that Nemo_bis was discussing. [23:29:48] ragesoss: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42752 [23:30:05] after purging, it returns audio/webm now [23:30:37] ragesoss: Seems like the same issue. You can leave a comment there if you'd like. [23:30:44] Also, props to Bugzilla's search for finding that bug. [23:30:55] cool beans, looks like people are on it already. [23:30:57] thanks [23:30:58] Platonides: that is a fast fix :-) [23:31:28] * Susan sends ragesoss back to field for further lolcat herding. [23:31:40] They're escaping. [23:31:54] Nightdive: Pages or media can be purged by appending "?action=purge" to the URL string. [23:32:06] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?action=purge <-- Example. [23:32:14] Nightdive, you're welcome :) [23:32:27] in this case, it was http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Experience_ubuntu.ogg?action=purge [23:32:55] Platonides: You should comment on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43215 [23:33:28] And apologize for destroying the test case. ;-) [23:33:48] Susan: thanks for the tip. btw: I know what appending to an URL means, i come from the browser community :-) [23:34:02] Heh, fair. [23:39:04] running slightly over my window due to ops meeting/lunch combo [23:42:17] 'The Wikipedia page "User talk:ClueBot Commons" has been $CHANGEDORCREATED on 17 December 2012 by anonymous user 182.18.209.15, with the edit summary: [[WP:AES|←]]Blanked the page' [23:42:32] Did someone forget to substitute or use single quotes instead of double quotes? [23:47:11] Hi Cobi. [23:47:26] Cobi: Sounds like . [23:48:42] fenari back up
