[00:20:52] I am trying to get into my account. I typoed on the email to reset the pw and now cant send another request for 24 hours. Is there a way around this or a request I can put in somewhere to clear this up? [00:40:32] Kadane, maybe try to trigger the form from your phone or something? [00:40:40] (using mobile data rather than wifi) [00:41:44] theoretically those counters can be reset but IIRC it requires sysadmin intervention [00:42:44] Krenair, giving it a try now. [00:44:50] Negative Krenair, I think it is an account limit :( [00:45:30] Kadane, you're logged in while filling the password reset form? [00:45:47] No [00:46:02] Kadane, then if you inserted the wrong email how would it tie it to the same account? [00:46:21] I think its tying it to the account name [00:46:29] yes that much was implied, but how [00:46:47] I do not understand what you are asking? [00:46:52] wait are you saying you're filling *both* fields? [00:47:00] yes [00:47:01] You only need to fill in one [00:47:10] don't fill both fields on the password reset form [00:47:47] if you fill the username, the email will be ignored [00:47:55] Oh.. [00:48:01] Well then thanks for your time :D [15:01:19] Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 60 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @milimetric & @CFisch_WMDE - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting [15:19:44] hello there [15:20:23] Hi,superyetkin [15:24:54] any place to view tool requests and fulfill them? [15:26:51] Not sure [15:27:21] Are you meaning, people asking for a tool to be written? [15:27:32] If you stay around there's tech chat in half an hour [15:31:27] superyetkin: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/technical-tool-request/ [15:36:53] I think it depends on the wiki you’re interested in [15:37:01] for Wikidata there’s also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90870 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Tools#Proposals,_Wishes [15:50:39] Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 10 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @milimetric & @CFisch_WMDE - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting [16:00:02] hi everyone, here to help with any technical advice I can [16:00:48] \o/ [16:01:01] Hi folks and welcome! [16:01:19] Not quite my question but this intrigued me. https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2019-February/012819.html [16:01:19] Could we create the properties to have the vital articles lists in wikidata? [16:02:16] chicocvenancio: This sounds more like a question discussed with the Wikidata community [16:03:04] Hi. How can I add style="" to an entire wikitable row? [16:03:14] So either #wikidata or follow up on the mail thread [16:03:40] for example: I know that I can write [16:03:41] | style="" | [16:03:42] to add custom style to a cell [16:04:13] is it just [16:04:14] |- style="" [16:04:15] to add custom style to a row? [16:04:52] CFisch_WMDE Well, yeah, the Wikipedias communitues as well. I was thinking more on how the anthologies could work with perhaps multiple wikis having somewhat differing lists [16:05:22] revansx[m]: I think this shoud work |- style="" [16:05:53] CFisch_WMDE: that was originally on #wikidata with not much response and I prodded them into mailing list or wikidata itself [16:05:56] ok. great. it does. thanks. [16:06:28] revansx[m]: this is the best example I could find in the docs: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables#Cell_contents_alignment [16:06:48] that shows both row and cell-level styles in the same place [16:07:21] chicocvenancio: Yeah good question, I'm not sure what's possible with properties. - As fallback there could be constraint checks implemented. So keeping the property more open and checking invalid values afterwards... [16:07:24] there's an interesting |+ style="... syntax on that same page where you can add captions and other fancy stuff [16:07:26] perfect [16:07:38] ...but thats just a wild guess, I'm no Wikidata expert [16:08:24] Thanks CFisch_WMDE, neither am I. But this seems like a fun project to understand it a bit more [16:09:10] chicocvenancio: Defenitly :-) [16:12:50] Soooo anyone else? :-) [16:13:21] the host guide says something like "sometimes it's quiet, don't be disappointed" [16:13:36] Yes: Can I request a gerrit repository for a non-wikimedia PHP library? I've written one I'd like to use in an extension, but neither is currently yet available. [16:13:37] hi Fisch, nice to meet you, I'm Dan Andreescu and I don't remember if we've met in person [16:14:02] The library currently uses my nick as namespace, and so far all I've seen are libraries that use the Wikimedia namespace [16:14:19] mainframe98: would github or a similar hosting service be a better place for a general library like that? [16:15:46] Hey, I left feedback on the thanks changes for mobile at Phabricator. What's the timeline for this issue? Also, T211490 is at code review. When should it go live? [16:15:46] T211490: iPad Pro/iOS 12.1: scrolling is broken when editing mobile site in source mode - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211490 [16:16:14] It would, but if it is used in an extension hosted in Gerrit, I'd rather not use two different platforms. Also: I'm probably one of the few people who rather prefers Gerrit over Github. [16:16:31] Also, Wikimedia has great CI and coverage/documentation hosting [16:17:46] mainframe98: if it's mainly used in the extension, I would say your request has a good chance of being accepted. I don't personally know any other repos like this, but I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed. I was just thinking github would make more sense if you wanted your library to be widely used in the world [16:18:02] RhinosF1: Hi! Regarding the issue you linked. Normally the gerrit bot adds a comment, when the patch is merged. [16:18:13] mainframe98: and I agree on the niceness of gerrit btw, it's great for serious work, and the CI is getting really good [16:18:31] RhinosF1: This would be the next step for that to be fixed. [16:19:06] RhinosF1: After that there will be a tag added that will show when it's going to be rolled out on the wikis. [16:19:13] milimetric: Well, I would have it published on packagist, so that should take care of that part. In that case, I'd go and prep the extension - I think I would have a better chance if I have something to show that it is used in. Thank you! [16:19:47] RhinosF1: Something like https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/3871/ [16:19:55] CFish_WMDE - How long would a merge take? [16:20:14] mainframe98: yeah, feel free to ping me if you get rejected and I'll support the idea [16:20:18] RhinosF1: Depending on how long the review for the patch takes. [16:20:28] milimetric: I appreciate that, thank you! [16:20:53] RhinosF1: If it's n more complex issue it can take some time, since the solution could be more complicated then. [16:21:01] mainframe98: I can see the case for having a folder to collect these things like php-lib or something like that [16:21:11] so php-lib/your-repo [16:22:03] CFisch_WMDE - Thanks for the advice, the feedback regarding thanks issues can be found at T63737 [16:22:04] T63737: Thank notification on mobile should support click to undo - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T63737 [16:23:02] milimetric: It does appear we have a mediawiki/libs gerrit group, so perhaps that's an option. I know that Equivset is used both in core and AbuseFilter [16:23:22] RhinosF1: Hmm *reads* [16:23:24] oh, great then, I just didn't know about it [16:27:33] RhinosF1: Regarding the feedback, if your unsure if you were heard you could try to ping again jdrobson again. - I'm not quite sure what will happen as next steps there. [16:28:25] But maybe someone took notice of it already without any further comment.. [16:29:23] CFisch_WMDE - I'll try that. Thanks for your assistance. I think that's it for today from me. [16:29:54] RhinosF1: You're welcome :-) [16:30:41] Np [16:31:29] milimetric: So hi, yeah I'm also not sure if we might have meet somewhere already :-) [16:31:45] * CFisch_WMDE <- Christoph Jauera / WMDE-Fisch [16:32:00] :) well, nice to co-host with you [16:32:15] Same here :-) [16:52:06] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/technical-tool-request/ looks good. Thanks [16:52:36] is there any way to purge query cache on replica servers? [16:53:21] superyetkin: purge query cache? Why? [16:53:34] That doesn't even make sense, I think [16:54:23] Is recent changes having issues? [16:54:33] No Vandalism detection [16:55:30] Reedy: what do you mean? [16:55:57] What do you mean by "query cache on replica servers" and why do you want to purge it? [16:56:09] I believe some of my queries are showing outdated results [16:57:05] Depending on the version of mysql (or similar), there is no query cache https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/query-cache.html [16:57:17] Replag, or data inconsistencies (or wrong query) are more likely [16:57:26] Or MW hasn't fully processed some update, depending on what you're actually querying [16:58:10] for example, I have a query to list uncategorized pages [16:58:33] somehow, for some artiles, they show up there after the page is edited [16:58:36] superyetkin: yeah, that's more likely replication is a little bit behind, or there's something else wrong with the data [16:58:57] the query cache doesn't result in the server returning invalid results [16:59:24] (if it exists at all, like Reedy said, I think we use MariaDB and I'm not sure if it's still how that works, but it's removed from mysql) [17:02:34] ok, just reproduced the issue now [17:02:56] this tool shows the uncategorized pages [17:02:56] https://tools.wmflabs.org/superyetkin/kategorisizsayfalar.php [17:03:13] as you see, it shows no results [17:03:23] indeed, this page is uncategorized [17:03:24] https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6lc%C3%BCk_G%C3%B6l%C3%BC_(Bolu) [17:03:40] That's great, I can also make a page and not post the SQL query and tell you it gets no results [17:06:01] superyetkin: I think what Reedy means is could we please look at the query as well? :) [17:06:25] (I'm in other meetings now but I can peek around and see if I find anything obvious) [17:06:42] Reedy: no need to be rude, ok? [17:06:59] I am trying to give as much detail as I can [17:08:17] here is the query [17:08:17] SELECT [17:08:17] page_title, [17:08:17] page_len [17:08:17] FROM page [17:08:18] LEFT JOIN categorylinks [17:08:18] ON page_id = cl_from [17:08:19] WHERE cl_from IS NULL [17:08:19] AND page_namespace = 0 [17:08:20] AND page_is_redirect = 0 [17:08:20] ORDER BY page_len ASC [17:08:57] It's empty on the production servers, FWIW [17:08:57] (/me has to leave now see you around, thanks milimetric for joining the meeting ) [17:16:17] it is empty and not correct [17:16:25] superyetkin: I see what you mean [17:16:27] thinking [17:19:14] superyetkin: interesting, so looking at just your example page, there is actually a categorylinks row for it, with cl_to equal to "Arşivlenmesi_gereken_bağlantıya_sahip_kaynak_şablonu_içeren_maddeler " [17:19:46] superyetkin: so I'm not sure what that says, but is it some general category that's not visible or something? [17:20:45] yes, invisible [17:21:25] superyetkin: so is there a way to get a list of categories that are invisible, and filter them out from the join? [17:21:41] like, how do you know the category is invisible? [17:27:17] ok, I will try that [17:27:31] there is a template to make a category invisible [17:27:51] "Hidden categories are automatically added to Category:Hidden categories. This category is specified in the system message MediaWiki:Hidden-category-category." [17:40:06] Where can you request a users tools.wmflabs scripts are taken over by another user. There's some scripts That aren't being manitained anymore but are of use. [17:40:44] File a request in phabricator, ideally CC/notify the current maintainer too [17:41:12] Thanks reedy, what topics?? [17:41:45] Just "Tools" should be good for starters [17:42:13] Thanks [17:44:28] Reedy Tools not coming up as a tag [17:44:55] then add it later [17:45:05] do you have a specific user to take over in mind? [17:46:03] RhinosF1: "Toolforge-standards-committee (Maintainer needed)" would be even better [17:47:57] No andre_ I don't [17:49:11] T217789 is the phap ticket. Won't come up with Snottywong's phab Accounts. [17:49:11] T217789: Unmaintained&broken tools.wmflabs.org scripts that may be of use - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217789 [17:51:42] RhinosF1, could you please be more specific in the task summary? [17:52:02] One specific issue per ticket. This sounds like random catch-all and never resolvable... [17:52:32] ...from reading the topic. Maybe it's not in the task description though. [17:53:43] Andre_ what do mean by more specific? Some of the scripts they maintain Don't work and the don't seem to be active or able to fix them. [17:55:12] RhinosF1: The task topic is very vague. It says: "Unmaintained&broken tools.wmflabs.org scripts that may be of use" [17:55:36] Andre_ What do you suggest it's changed to? [17:55:41] It says nothing which specific scripts it is about. Many other tasks could have the very same title. It's not distinguishable. [17:56:07] RhinosF1, to mention the name of a specific tool or script. [17:58:24] Will change andre_ [17:58:29] thanks [18:00:08] ✅ Done andre_ [18:01:28] Is there a place where all the extensions and their maintainers are listed ? [18:01:50] FR30799386_: define "all" :D [18:02:00] A few are listed on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers [18:02:08] but not all >2000 extensions, no. [18:02:19] PageTriage, FlaggedRevs are the two I want to know..... [18:03:02] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers [18:03:40] I've just realised your Aklapper andre_. Why do you get added to all tasks? [18:04:16] andre__ Whats code stewardship ? [18:05:05] RhinosF1: He likes having a lot of emails [18:05:36] Reedy, ha ha. I was actually wondering that. [18:07:00] FR30799386_, something that I'd call "maintainership" and others call "stewardship" :P [18:07:19] RhinosF1: I just like getting mail. it makes me feel less lonely, I swear! ;) [18:08:42] "I've got how many emails to go through? I need another beer" [18:10:06] Andre_ That's strange, I assumed it was to do with your role. [18:10:47] Reedy: Cheers. I gave up counting all those beers needed. [18:10:57] RhinosF1: Maybe that's also true, yeah! [18:18:13] andre_ Thanks for the help anyway. [18:19:18] Reedy andre_ - Do you mind being quoted in future on that? I'll remove needless parts. [18:19:33] Beer isn't needless [18:19:58] By needless parts, I mean anything not part of the beer conversation. [18:20:40] What exactly are you wanting to quote and where/for why? :) [18:23:25] Reedy - Any time I think I need a laugh or Aklapper being in tasks comes up in conversation. [18:23:43] https://tools.wmflabs.org/bash :) [18:24:20] This part https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/XmIkBiVl/ [18:25:03] I can put it there reedy [18:25:18] IRC is all public anyway... :) [18:27:24] This one is andre_ [18:27:44] You happy reedy [18:27:51] I'm never happy [18:27:53] I'm British [18:28:53] I'm also British. Anyway, do you mind? [18:29:01] ^ reedy [18:29:21] https://tools.wmflabs.org/bash/search?p=0&q=reedy [18:29:22] :) [18:30:11] (it's fine by me) [18:30:14] See https://tools.wmflabs.org/bash/quip/AWlURNlefM03vZ1oEumF [20:24:25] RhinosF1, there's a process detailed at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Abandoned_tool_policy [20:49:22] Quiddity - That only works when a new maintainer is known. We don't have a replacement, I'm asking for one. [20:49:56] RhinosF1, ah, my misunderstanding, I thought you were wanting to become the maintainer, I will undo my changes. [20:57:37] Quiddity - Does it still need to be marked as stalled? [20:58:06] fixed! thanks again [20:58:41] Quiddity - np [23:16:46] [[Tech]]; 2601:1C2:200:4797:5C65:C2CE:8798:9586; /* metaphor wiki page */ new section; https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=18919135&oldid=18897701&rcid=13273932
