[05:23:03] We are organising an workshop and need to bypass an ip so that 30 accounts can be registered. Please help [05:23:16] any steward available here [05:23:18] ? [09:25:16] Hi, I got a Database error on Commons while splitting overwritten files: "[WqT1EwpAMFQAAJOCdXMAAAAF] 2018-03-11 09:21:24: Errore irreversibile di tipo "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError". Irreversible bug or there is a known solution for this problem? [20:50:20] hi guys. just wondering - is it possible to add a checkbox option to an article? if so, how do i do it? [21:00:42] tkore, a checkbox to do what? [21:03:42] quiddity, a checkbox that marks a certain article as one that has some value to the end user. [21:03:50] for example, if the article speaks about health, i want a checkbox that when checked, marks the article as helpful for people seeking health-related benefits [21:04:20] so that later i can add a 'health' icon to the article's link [21:08:16] tkore, IIUC, you're asking about a hypothetical system (possibly one that you plan to code?) that would enable you/anyone to both rate the usefulness of an article, and to categorize it. Is that right/close? [21:10:48] quiddity, im talking about an existing site built with mediawiki that i need to customize. it's already customized but more improvements are needed. the categories functionality is already present, but for a different purpose. if i had to simulate my question to a WordPress installation (bear with me, i can't stand it myself), i'd say i needed to add some metadata to an article. [21:11:46] Oh! So not for Wikimedia sites. (I was mid-typing this: If you're just trying to find highly-rated articles within a specific topic area, there is already a system for that at some of the Wikipedias. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine#Metrics ) [21:12:34] I'm not sure. You might get better results asking in #mediawiki (though Sundays are often slow). [21:12:56] But include all of that contextual information up-front. :) [21:13:15] Gotcha, will do :) thanks! [21:16:14] quiddity, could you point me in a general direction of a 'getting started' guide for the mediawiki api? i've already been to https://mediawiki.org and to its Web API hub, but it's not as comprehensible as i'd expect. is there something better or should i just go along with it? [23:24:46] tkore, I'm guessing you mean https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Web_APIs_hub -- there's also the more detailed page at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page -- but it's probably missing bits. Please do leave notes on the talkpage, for anything you couldn't find, so that the docs writers/maintainers can either point you to where it might be, or add/update the info needed. [23:58:01] https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Index:Manual_of_the_Lodge.pdf [23:58:22] Seems the parser f&^% up a perfectly reasonable template call [23:58:32] The contents page transclusion is broken
