[09:15:48] <smart43>	 hi is there a easy way to disable backlink search? 
[09:16:02] <smart43>	 i tried $wgAPIListModules['langlinks'] = 'ApiQueryDisabled'; but its not effective
[09:27:36] <smart43>	 This module needs to have an option for globally disabling all non-authorized (anonymous) queries made by lame script kiddies targeting this special page with malwares from github in order to boost their ego.
[09:28:00] <smart43>	 :)
[09:29:35] <runxiyu>	 Hi, any idea if an extension exists to periodically poll an ics/icalendar url and display it?
[11:27:19] <Vulpix>	 smart43: langlinks is not the same as backlinks. Or do you really want to disable language links search?
[17:41:03] <ticky>	 Is there a way to get a permalink to a particular extension distributor revision? We're building a docker image with some extensions pulled in and unfortunately the extension distributor's URLs are not permanent links. Alternately, is there a safe way to reproduce whatever the extension distributor does to install dependencies?
[17:41:54] <Reedy>	 Use git? :P
[17:42:50] <Reedy>	 extdist is basically designed to only keep the "latest" version for each branch
[17:43:54] <bawolff>	 ticky: All that extdist does to install dependencies is run `composer install --no-dev`
[17:45:13] <ticky>	 I had some trouble with just running composer in situ, does it need to be outside of a directory tree which has another composer.json above it?
[17:45:21] <bawolff>	 ticky: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/labs/tools/extdist/+/refs/heads/master/nightly.py is the source code for extension distributor, if you are curious
[17:45:43] <bawolff>	 Normally you would run composer in the directory of the extension
[17:46:08] <bawolff>	 There is a plugin you can add, which lets you just run composer in the mediawiki root directory, and will do all extensions, and also deduplicate dependencies
[17:46:11] <ticky>	 yeah, I seemed to have different (and broken) results from using the tarballs for some extensions though
[17:46:32] <ticky>	 I'll look into it again though
[17:46:56] <bawolff>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Composer#Using_composer-merge-plugin for the plugin where you can just do it in MW root directory
[17:47:47] <bawolff>	 Oh i guess its not just composer, extdist also makes sure all git submodules are pulled in. Depending on git config that might not happen automatically
[17:50:46] <ticky>	 ahhh I _might_ have missed that
[17:50:56] <ticky>	 and yeah I had even worse luck with composer-merge
[19:55:21] <smart43>	 Vulpix: welcome back mate
[19:57:05] <smart43>	 Vulpix: yep i do because this API is only relevant to bots attempting to slow down our server and imo there should be a global option to globally disable access to it for non authenticated users
