[01:25:47] So I'm ssh'd to toolserver and trying to run a script that edits WP [01:26:02] Apparently I'm getting an error while editing a page [01:26:07] Request: [unknown method] [no URL], from 208.80.154.51 via cp1010.eqiad.wmnet (squid/2.7.STABLE9) to [unknown host] ([unknown])
[01:26:07] Error: ERR_INVALID_REQ, errno [No Error] at Sun, 22 Sep 2013 01:20:25 GMT [01:26:21] what did you send exactly, excluding the private info of course? [01:27:15] Also heh: "Error: [...] No error" [01:27:25] A dictionary containing the keys ['basetimestamp', 'notminor', 'maxlag', 'title', 'token', 'format', 'md5', 'nocreate', 'text', 'action', 'bot', 'starttimestamp', 'summary'] [01:28:26] Can you pastebin the code you're using? [01:29:01] Can you replicate the issue by running the code from another network, e.g. your own? [01:29:13] In PM, yes, not very comfortable putting it here [01:29:15] ^ or that [01:29:17] Krenair: 1 sec [01:34:29] Krenair: yeah, same thing on my own computer [01:34:37] Request: [unknown method] [no URL], from $my_ip via cp1012.eqiad.wmnet (squid/2.7.STABLE9) to [unknown host] ([unknown])
[01:34:37] Error: ERR_INVALID_REQ, errno [No Error] at Sun, 22 Sep 2013 01:34:13 GMT [01:35:01] Weird. PM me the code please? [12:12:11] hello all [12:54:43] cortexA9: chatty chat to #wikimedia-social and keep this channel as quiet as possible unless there is already traffic, then it doesn't matter if you chatty chat [12:55:05] and you are a succkky AAPL processor [12:55:28] that costs $20 [12:55:31] lol [12:55:32] :D [12:55:38] but was great [12:55:38] hehe [12:55:46] Any ideas why an e-mail to a Wikimedia mailing list might have gotten stuck? [12:55:47] then they sell the iPad mini for $199-$299 [12:55:52] This never happened to me before. [12:56:18] twkozlowski: yo polska, yo tengo loco.. cervezas. [12:56:29] Dobrii Den [12:57:26] twkozlowski: My mum was in Warsaw when she heard she was pregnant with me. [12:57:32] this was in late 1976 [12:57:48] So I love poland(ball) [12:58:00] ? [12:58:30] I'm sorry.. am I assuming too much that you are polish dude ? [12:59:07] Mrs. Truc Truc.. You are of baby with urr man. [12:59:15] 'k.. [12:59:19] not ##economics [12:59:20] Is this relevant to my question? I haven't heard about any problems with Telia's network in Poland... [12:59:45] Or anything else that might have influence over my e-mail not being delivered to that one mailing list. [13:00:20] twkozlowski: the Telia-Sonera have a thing going on with the Finnish business clients.. Calls, data and sms are same price in all Nordic and all Baltic [13:00:54] So if business takes you to your neighbours all call, data and sms are according to your plan [13:01:27] Thank God this channel is logged. [13:01:36] twkozlowski: It is? [13:02:16] twkozlowski: I was in the chargery bin for the 1st time when Sonera spent 4,000,000,000€ on 40% of a German UMTS license [13:02:29] they downwrote all of it a few years later, obviously [13:02:40] Sonera is former Finnish Telecom [13:03:54] they wouldn't have any experience in low sweeping the market enterer utilizing their superior customer base and assorted economies of scale [15:29:11] if I am filing a bugzilla for incorrect links in Special:Version, is that filed against the extension or something else? [15:33:18] sDrewth: against the extension [15:34:25] k, thanks [15:53:14] sDrewth, link to report? [15:54:15] not done it yet, too tired, will do it tomorrow [15:54:23] nothing urgent [15:54:58] Anyway if the broken links are under the 'Installed extensions' section than it's the extension that provides that text [15:55:01] and I had better go to bed, need to be up in 3:55 [15:55:33] stuff above that is core [18:11:42] Technical_13: poke [18:15:34] * Technical_13 giggles and pees hisself. [19:22:26] legoktm: around? [20:08:02] Hello, I'm trying to track down an old, forgotten account that I believe may be tied to my school email. I was hoping someone with database access could look up the username, given the email address [20:08:39] This is on Wikipedia, may not be a global account [20:08:46] which wikipedia [20:08:50] en [20:11:11] Is this sort of request doable? Not asking for a password, and I can also provide substantial evidence that I am (was) the owner of the account. [20:11:42] FYI I do not have access to that school email anymore (or else I'd just use password reset) [20:18:15] apergos: ^ - I don't think his request can really be granted [20:19:25] MusikAnimal, if you can't get this request done then your last options may be to ask the school to set it to forward to you or temporarily reactivate the account [20:20:57] Krenair: Thanks. Do you think they'll even do the db lookup? This isn't a big deal, really, I'm just curious as to the extent of the contributions I made way back then [20:21:10] I'm really not sure. [20:21:35] Associations between user email addresses and accounts are private information [20:21:47] I can't see the email addresses in the public DB [20:23:00] Looking up a user name from a given email address might get done. It certainly should be if you can prove the email address represents you, but I'm not a shell user, so... [20:24:21] Yes the email address is my initials and birthdate, which it can then easily be shown is me by cross-referencing this username with all my other accounts across the web... not worried about proving it, just wondering who to ask [20:25:52] just wait on this channel [20:26:11] if someone feels particularly generous it might get done [20:26:32] (usually it isn't) [20:27:20] Thanks, I'll stick around. [20:27:28] MusikAnimal, do you how many edits did this account have roughly? I'm just wondering how well known it might've been [20:27:55] Not well known, that I am certain. Might not even be autoconfirmed. [20:28:09] I was not a substantial editor until this account (MusikAnimal) was created [20:35:18] If it's not autoconfirmed then it might not be worth bothering to try to get it back [20:40:03] Well again, I'm just curious what all I did back then. It's a simple lookup, single line SQL query I'd imagine? [20:41:00] something like SELECT 'username' FROM 'users' WHERE 'email' = 'abc@example.com' ? [20:41:51] yes, but there are privacy considerations [20:43:27] I'm prepared to show that I am the owner. But first they should see if it even exists, as I'm not 100% sure the account was to tied to this email. The MediaWiki password reset feature does not throw an error message if the email does not exist in the db [21:22:16] MusikAnimal: of course, otherwise it would be sharing private info to anyone knowing your email [21:30:27] MusikAnimal, it'd be SELECT user_name FROM user WHERE user_email = 'abc@example.com'; [21:30:33] the technical bit is not the hard part [21:37:19] Krenair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ComparePages?rev1=570114240&rev2=574064478 [21:37:27] Krenair: Care to evaluate that? :-) [21:39:40] looks evil [21:40:06] Perfect. [21:40:47] Elsie, is this going to be run by every anonymous user? [21:41:01] Elsie: that looks like it'll make it impossible to enable VE back [21:41:19] (unlike the version you asked about yesterday) [21:41:25] Elsie: If so a sysadmin should step in and prevent the change [21:41:43] probably anyway [21:42:04] MatmaRex: I believe that's a goal, but I'm not sure. [21:42:11] Elsie does it just for the popcorns, ça va sans dire [21:42:27] Krenair: The idea is to put that code in MediaWiki:Common.js. [21:42:30] Krenair: the api call seems to be only for registered users [21:42:33] and only once per user [21:42:45] Elsie: wasn';t the goal to make it opt=in instead of opt=out? [21:42:51] opt-in, opt=out* [21:42:54] MatmaRex: NFI. :-) [21:42:56] opt-out*, ffs. [21:42:59] It's not my code or my problem to solve. [21:43:10] I'm just trying to evaluate whether it'll bring down the site. [21:43:31] Philippe is saying he has grave concerns. I'm trying to understand them. [21:43:34] bringing down the site? just imagine how many problems that would solve! [21:44:36] Krenair: I'm not sure what you meant by a sysadmin stepping in. [21:46:18] Elsie, I misunderstood the code and thought anonymous users were all going to be spamming api requests, ignore that [21:48:42] :-) [21:48:45] Thanks for taking a look. [21:48:56] The earlier code did do that, but the newer code should be saner. [21:48:59] Fingers crossed. [22:13:37] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IMBORED doesn't work :/ [22:15:01] Not yet! [22:15:26] Yeah, redirects to Special pages have been banned for a long time. [22:15:31] #REDIRECT [[Special:UserLogout]] [22:15:35] Heh. [22:16:16] I made it a soft redirect [22:18:21] Doesn't this make it more dangerous? :P [22:18:30] (As people are used to clicking those.) [22:19:17] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:AfC_submissions_with_missing_AfC_template [22:38:11] Huh? [22:53:05] Nemo_bis: Re: bug 54453, you only changed one apostrophe? [22:53:39] yes [22:53:43] it was annoying [22:53:57] Nemo_bis: Right... but there were two apostrophes to be changed... [22:54:21] Elsie: so I eliminated the one which annoyed me most. [22:54:27] Heh. [22:54:29] You're adorable. [22:54:32] You can't strive to eliminate all annoyance from the world [22:55:03] can’t * [22:56:19] Hah! [23:18:33] Sort of on-topic: http://www.reddit.com/r/shittyaskscience/comments/1mwc9m/since_knowledge_is_power_are_the_wikipedia/ [23:22:42] timeout! [23:22:49] There must be some important meaning in this.
