[07:41:13] I keep getting unstyled pages in the last few days (from two different networks, DNA and Funet). [08:00:06] 503'ing URL too long, I put it in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T189085 [08:02:58] Nemo_bis: probably not the same as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T181877 ? [08:27:41] legoktm: I *thought* it was about CSS, until yesterday, but now I see that even small JavaScripts take ages to respond or fail [08:28:13] :/ [08:28:13] So it could be a combination of both issues, or T181877 could just be a symptom of a larger problem [08:28:14] T181877: Reproducible FOUC on Search and ISBN Lookup (CSS delayed in Firefox) - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T181877 [12:23:19] Hi. I want to use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContactPage on a wiki for blocked/globally locked users to appeal a ban. Does the form still work for users who are locked? [14:00:35] Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 2 hours in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @addshore & @Christoph_Jauera_(WMDE) - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting [14:40:47] Hello. I know this is a bit late, but we need help regarding the gender Editathon tomorrow in Amman, Jordan. We need to lift of IP cap during the event. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T189121 [14:54:06] Tarawneh: I'm not a tech guy, but thats on a too short notice probably to get it done [14:57:04] Wiki13: I know, I got the IPs 10 mins. ago :( [14:57:18] ouch [14:57:29] tell them to get it sooner next time :P [14:58:01] Tarawneh: if you can get ahold of an admin on the arabic wiki you could ask them to create accounts [14:58:36] they have no rate limits (like creating users) afaik [14:58:48] I am already an account creator, and we will have a few others with us. [14:59:43] But the system sometimes refuses simultaneous edits from the same IP. Have no Idea why that happens [15:00:21] in that case it could be done then without lifting the cap right? I do understand lifting a cap would be nicer, but its all you can do on such a short notice [15:01:40] LOL, I do that all the time. :) I am used to creating accounts. [15:01:49] for the events that is :P [15:01:52] hehe [15:02:52] I mean ideally you would know it a week in advance so stuff like this doesnt happen [15:04:16] Reedy legoktm ^ [15:05:42] I dont know this for sure, but I thought there were ideas for this... not needing a gerrit patch to add IP cap lift [15:07:14] hmm. hope it can be done. If not my life will be a bit more $^#$^#$^ . Still , Dealt with worse through that last 16 years on wikipedia :D [15:07:30] hehe [15:08:33] I found it... https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T27000 a request to add an extension to do this Tarawneh [15:08:54] only thing is, the request for that task has been open for like 7/8 years now :") [15:09:11] Yes, still open [15:09:20] Well, I have to go [15:09:24] so I hope stuff gets done soon [15:09:26] Thanks Wiki13 [15:17:26] Where did Tarawneh go?

[16:01:53] :-D [16:02:45] How do I get addshore to review ALL of my patches in a timely fashion? [16:02:49] * Reedy glares at addshore [16:02:53] Reedy: cake [16:03:04] *g* [16:06:27] Hi everyone! [16:07:12] I'm currently searching for a means of editing Wiki tables using the MW API [16:07:31] Any help please? Basically, I want to start of with a table that has 2 rows 1 column [16:07:53] The table should have a header and a cell with content. Then edit this table via the MW api [16:07:55] I think you've only got action=edit [16:08:50] Yeah afaik the MW API cannot be used to directly edit arbitrary wiki tables [16:09:13] Reedy: Thanks. CFisch_WMDE, Okay! [16:09:55] I'm trying to build this tool that simulates a wiki table like a spread sheet [16:10:09] So that when a cell in the spreadsheet is edited, it edits same corresponding cell in the Wikitable [16:10:21] I've succeeded in scraping data off a spreadsheet to a wikipage [16:10:46] But now doing it to a table is my worry but I was just wondering if there is a way to do it directly with the API but no luck yet [16:10:58] Does VE allow this sort of editing? [16:11:13] Reedy: No idea actually, I don't know [16:11:21] I'm sure it does table editing... [16:11:28] But I think VE allows editing of tables [16:11:33] Reedy: Yes, it does [16:12:49] Ahhh ... so with "Wiki Table" you refer to a table in wiki text .. sorry - I was thinking of Database tables in my response ^^ - So of cause aus Reedy said you can manipulate that via the API, but only with the default API edit methods. [16:13:14] Yeah, [16:13:28] action works but I'm thinking how to do that in wiki table cells [16:13:40] Directly from the API or maybe some other way [16:15:48] CFisch_WMDE, Reedy, I'll keep digging! But I've succeeded in taking data (on changes) from a spreadsheet to a Wikipage [16:16:11] So I have no Idea how VE does editing of tables, they of cause have parsing logic that takes care of conversion from their internal "table" layout to wikitext table [16:16:15] Just something very simple, like a proof of concept but need to replicate that to Wikitables now then scale the solution to larger tables. [16:16:32] CFisch_WMDE: Yeah! [16:22:33] CFisch_WMDE: Parsoid... Wikitext -> Html -> Wikitext [16:23:06] yeah, thats the thing [16:24:39] Hmmm....., thanks Reedy :) [16:25:00] :D [16:41:32] Seems all the questions are being discussed on https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/ :-) [16:41:38] yupp :P [16:41:39] *advertise* [16:45:12] :) [16:59:20] is discourse going to be in production? [16:59:35] or will it stay there? [17:02:30] Wiki13: only time will tell [17:02:37] I think the plan is for production though [17:02:43] ah [17:02:44] Right, thats the end of the hour!!! [17:02:46] until next time!
