[06:36:18] Hey, I've got an OTRS ticket where someone is saying that one of the languages on the sidebar is written wrong [06:36:20] https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=7268887 [06:36:32] Can someone that works with the interface take a look at that [10:46:45] pywikibot's integration tests (which test calling the enwiki api) has been getting 'internal_api_error_DBQueryError: Database query error' on this for a while now: [10:46:48] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=usercontribs&ucuserprefix=Tim&ucstart=2008-10-10T11:59:59Z&ucend=2008-10-10T00:00:01Z&uclimit=5&format=json [10:48:10] and I now also get that here locally: http://bpaste.net/show/2sULUY94Ktd8GSLhwsnt/ [10:49:13] curious coincidence with the GIF-related outage? http://www.wikilove.in/2013/12/wikigifsorg-random-walk-through.html [10:50:37] that one works for me? [10:51:24] the query above also works now -- it seems to be an issue with the first request in a while, or something like that. [14:38:54] hey, it seems that the that currently the EPUB creator on all wikipedia sites generates PDF instead of EPUB ...problem should be introduced very recently, definitely created an epub ~2 days ago successfully [14:56:06] probably related to #mediawiki-pdfhack ? [14:58:28] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deployments&oldid=91455#Week_of_December_2 only lists https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.23/wmf5#Collection i.e. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/95483/ as recent change [15:11:23] Nemo_bis: mh, ok. any chances this will be fixed soon? (I don't know the wikimedia release/fix/push-cycl) [15:13:12] looking at the code, $writer (which specifies the format) is never used [15:13:38] xhochy_: the software in question is the Collection extension and the last change is on Collection, so file a bug about it in bugzilla's Collection component and you'll find out :) if that patch is at fault, may take just a week [15:22:16] Nemo_bis: ok, a week is too long for me :( Are there any (working) mirrors of wikipedia that do not run the latest version? [15:23:29] well, if the bug is confirmed severe and gets fixed quickly, maybe even a couple days might be enough [15:24:15] I doubt it, your best alternative at this point is probably some pdf->ePub converter, or perhaps some hacking of Tpt__'s WSexport [15:25:48] I'm at a hackday and wanted to build something with wikipedia epubs, so I'm now looking for an alternative hack....will do this at my next hackday. the original wikipedia epubs are good as an input but I do not have epubs for the content I wanted to use [15:29:52] xhochy_: at any rate, nothing will happen if you don't submit a bug or patch :) [15:32:43] Nemo_bis: found this bug, amended it https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/process_bug.cgi [15:33:33] (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58151) [15:35:23] MatmaRex: oh, yeah...should check the url before posting :( [15:36:09] it was worse when bugzilla didn't redirect after bug submission :) [15:42:23] Damn. [15:50:35] FTR: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mwlib.epub/0.14.3 can generate epubs from wikipedia independent of the current hosted renderer. not as beautiful as those by the "official" renderer but the format of the generated xhtml looks very similar. [15:52:55] hm? the current ePub producer *does* use mwlib [15:53:01] mwlib is being abandoned just now [16:22:52] replaced by what? [16:26:53] printing HTML to PDFs with webkit [16:27:16] (that's the tl;dr, it's documented somewhere, but i don't have the link; there was a post to wikitech-l recently)
