[1] [04:14:12] what about non english version of the news ? [06:37:57] gry: did you read http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2014-April/076080.html ? [06:52:39] legoktm: I get such heaps of mail that I sort them a lot, and this one ended in the trash bin. I undeleted and replied to it, now. Thank you. [06:53:47] gry: most of the noise is from wikimedia-l I'd guess xD [06:54:56] I don't know. I have it that not all of these lists go to gmane; newsgroups are vaguely more useful than piling up a remote mail server. [06:55:01] s/have/hate/ [06:56:10] np [09:01:05] How is lucene-search supposed to handle special characters [09:01:24] how do we know which characters are excluded [09:03:23] I attempted a Special:Search on U+32DB and received "An error has occurred while searching: The search backend returned an error: " [09:04:23] is this a bug or intentional (like colons or other special MediaWiki-reserved chars that should not be searched) [09:16:54] how many times did you retry? [09:17:01] lucene search typically fails [09:17:05] sometimes it works [09:18:05] You could dig the code of lsearchd, but more useful is to check what results CirrusSearch gives for your search and file a bug if it's worse than lsearchd/not better as you'd like [09:41:47] Nemo_bis apparently Google doesn't recognize U+32DB in searches either [09:41:52] so it might not be just lsearch [11:04:50] !technews [11:05:08] * twkozlowski prods wm-bot [11:05:54] !technews is https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next [11:05:54] Unable to modify db, access denied, link to database isn't valid [11:06:18] Should've been /Latest anyway. Meh. [11:12:52] !log grrrit dead: 10.28 -!- grrrit-wm [tools.lolr@208.80.155.145] has quit [11:12:57] Logged the message, Master [11:13:25] thanks thedj and MatmaRex https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64093 [11:13:45] thedj: how about a backport? [11:15:06] that's up to matmarex as far as i'm concerned [11:55:19] can a page get auto-created server-side at the beginning of a day from a template? [11:55:54] gry: you would need a bot for that [11:56:06] that's what I'm trying to avoid [11:56:09] not server-side [11:56:23] gry: why? [11:56:54] there are at least 2 use-cases, one of them being a 'Month, DD' category used at 2 sister projects / 2 languages (4 sites total) [11:57:05] I'd like such category to be auto-created by server [11:57:09] What's your case for not using a bot? [11:57:26] gry: sounds like an easy task for a bot [11:57:29] I'd like something simple that doesn't involve humans grazing a bot [11:57:39] "humans grazing a bot"? [11:57:50] yes, taking care of it running and being configured properly [11:57:55] I'd rather have everything happen on-wiki [11:57:57] gry: set up a cron job and forget about it [11:58:01] it's more transparent this way [11:58:07] gry: on nlwiki, we use a bot to create daily AFD pages, and the maintenance was pretty limited. [11:58:23] server side features are never transparent [11:58:43] yes they are, they just need relevant recentchanges entries for them [11:58:53] yeah, and what are you going to do when it breaks? [11:59:00] and how will it be configured? [11:59:01] valhallasw: Ive had a bot that I setup and configured back in 2007, I think Ive made 2 changes in the last 8 years [11:59:03] otherwise a folk runs a bot and now I can't ask him to rely on an on-wiki template for such page creation [11:59:05] and who will know how to configure it? [11:59:20] gry, look, you're probably not going to be allowed to get a cron job in production to do this [11:59:28] different sister projects end up running their own bots, and some of them are doing it manually [11:59:34] interesting [12:00:07] simply set up a cron on some labs project like bots, maybe tools [12:00:30] Krenair: I never said the cron has to be on a production server, labs works great for that [12:00:46] Betacommand, no but gry wanted it on the server-side [12:20:57] Nemo_bis: i say, let's. [12:36:03] MatmaRex: then merge please :) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/127471/ [12:47:22] Nemo_bis: done [12:47:31] hmm, do we actually use Backport_to_Stable for backports to 1.23? [12:47:56] 1.23 is not a "stable" yet, i suppose [12:56:53] MatmaRex: no idea :) but at least we notified release folks [16:31:35] How to edit globally user page? [16:32:42] edit it individually on each wiki [16:36:23] lololol [20:19:08] How do I get Gerrit to show changes with CR=0? The obvious label:CodeReview=0 doesn't work (that lists changes with at least one CR equal to 0) [20:19:25] -label:CodeReview<=-1 also doesn't seem to work [20:20:19] even -CodeReview-2 shows CR scores of -2 [20:20:20] ugh. [20:20:31] valhallasw: -label:CodeReview? [20:20:36] also, it's Code-Review i think [20:20:47] YES! [20:20:49] (sans the '?') [20:20:49] you are my hero [20:20:58] YOU ARE HIS HERO!!!11ONEONE [20:21:02] * twkozlowski winks [20:21:12] of course, the official docs say it's CodeReview. Because Gerrit. [20:21:25] reviewer:"Merlijn van Deen" project:pywikibot/core is:open -label:Code-Review<=-1 [20:21:28] \o/ [20:21:29] *bookmarks* [21:57:06] Adrian_WMDE: ping [22:12:54] I had posed a question earlier about lucene-search [22:13:40] what was the question Withoutaname? [22:14:06] is there a list of excluded character sets from the search [22:14:33] [[Special:Search/;;]] is returning "An error has occurred while searching: The search backend returned an error: " [22:14:39] intended or no? [22:15:26] does it work in Cirrus? [22:17:05] i think so [22:17:14] Maybe ^d can help [22:17:18] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=;;&go=Go seems to return properly [22:17:43] Withoutaname: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47770 was WONTFIX'd [22:18:20] <^d> "The search backend returned an error" is definitely a lsearchd error message. [22:18:25] <^d> It's vague, useless and gone with Cirrus.
