[05:52:19] <svetlana>	 how do I get action=parse to parse "~~~~" instead of displaying it as is?
[05:52:49] <jackmcbarn>	 svetlana: pst
[16:14:17] <Phil___>	 I have a newbie Lua q
[16:15:41] <svetlana>	 please
[16:16:21] <Phil___>	 This module returns a script error https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Sandbox/Sphilbrick/UNDtest
[16:16:41] <Phil___>	 despiet the fact that it works fine in http://www.lua.org/cgi-bin/demo
[16:17:16] <Phil___>	 I invoke it here: https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sphilbrick/sandbox
[16:18:57] <MatmaRex_mobile>	 Phil___: click on the error message to see more details
[16:19:14] <MatmaRex_mobile>	 "Script error: You must specify a function to call."
[16:19:44] <Phil___>	 Ok, doesn't tell me what to do
[16:19:49] <MatmaRex_mobile>	 "{{#invoke:Sandbox/Sphilbrick/UNDtest}}"
[16:20:05] <MatmaRex_mobile>	 #invoke takes a second parameter, which is, well, the name o the functionto call :)
[16:20:16] <MatmaRex_mobile>	 of the function to call*
[16:20:43] <MatmaRex_mobile>	 this also probably means that your module has to define functions, not just "constants"
[16:20:47] <Phil___>	 oh I had some parameters but I removeed them.
[16:20:59] <Phil___>	 Ok, I'll try again
[16:24:22] <svetlana>	 fixed
[16:24:33] <svetlana>	 Phil___,
[16:24:56] <svetlana>	 oh ffs, edit conflict :)
[16:24:58] <svetlana>	 i had this:
[16:24:59] <svetlana>	 local p = {}
[16:24:59] <svetlana>	  
[16:24:59] <svetlana>	 function p.hello()
[16:24:59] <svetlana>	 	ResponseTable = {}
[16:24:59] <svetlana>	 	ResponseTable["U"]= "Done"
[16:25:00] <svetlana>	 	ResponseTable["D"]= "Not Done"
[16:25:03] <svetlana>	 	res = ResponseTable["D"]
[16:25:05] <svetlana>	 	return res
[16:25:07] <svetlana>	 end
[16:25:09] <svetlana>	  
[16:25:11] <svetlana>	 return p
[16:25:20] <svetlana>	 it did return 'not done' this way
[16:29:00] <Phil___>	 I tried copying your code, but still not fixed?
[16:30:06] <Phil___>	 OK, got it, thanks
[16:30:26] <Phil___>	 BTW, one of my favorite people is named svetlana
[16:50:44] <marktraceur>	 !paste | svetlana
[16:50:49] <marktraceur>	 Ugh
[17:23:14] <svetlana>	 marktraceur, hi, thanks. i usually use dpaste.com.
[17:29:04] <marktraceur>	 And yet :)
[17:32:04] <david0288>	 I am trying to get hold of a database of wikipedia page abstracts. But the usual enwiki-latest-abstract.xml only contains the abstract text and not the wiki links. How can I get the abstracts with the links or markup?
[17:33:28] <Krenair>	 david0288, are you saying that the latest dump doesn't contain something the previous ones did?
[17:38:46] <david0288>	 Krenair, no they all contain just the abstract text and always have. But what I need is a database of wikipedia abstracts with their wiki links. For example the abstract that says "This article is about [[NASA|NASA's]]" instead of just "This article is about NASA's.."
[17:39:31] <Krenair>	 Hm. That sounds hard.
[17:40:00] <Krenair>	 I guess if you sent the wikitext through the parser, then took the HTML and got the plain text from that...
[17:40:58] <david0288>	 Krenair, I dont want the plain text this is the problem. I want the version with the links.
[17:41:22] <david0288>	 enwiki-latest-abstract.xml has only the plain text. But it is the links I am interested in.
