[07:45:28] [[ZWS]] !M 10https://wiki.toolserver.org/w/index.php?diff=8395&oldid=8384&rcid=23083 * Nemobis * (-4) (/* .htaccess */ hmpf why did nobody ever correct) [13:54:32] how do you specify articles with double colon in them, say: http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/backlinkscount.py?title=CSI:_Cyber [13:55:00] that's legal? [13:56:13] well, it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSI:_Miami [13:56:44] so you'd expect http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/backlinkscount.py?title=CSI:_Miami to work [13:56:56] that doesn't have a double colon (i.e. :: ) [13:57:01] yet it returns 0 for all articles with : in them [13:57:23] same with double colon: http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/backlinkscount.py?title=CSI::_Miami [13:58:39] my bad, not "double colon" but "single colon" [14:01:36] Not really sure if I should be looking into it since the tool and Toolserver gonna die today [14:01:55] what! how come? [14:02:04] what's the alternative? [14:02:25] especially for this specific one: counting the number of links to an article [14:02:58] politics really, WMF has a [[not invented here]] syndrome and didn't want any bagged [14:03:20] I see [14:03:53] So better to let a 100 people port their tool and follow new rules than interacting with the community [14:04:36] so what's their alternative in this particular case? do you know? [14:05:51] Haven't looked, need to write that essay about Toolserver's demise [14:06:34] oh... [14:06:36] Guest31381: Fixed, type problem string vs int [14:07:14] thank you for the fix [14:07:39] but as you say... if it is going to die... [14:13:19] thank you again and RIP toolserver [16:12:04] Federico Leva (Nemo) * Re: [Toolserver-l] [Wikitech-ambassadors] Collection of issues after Toolserver shutdown [19:38:04] Marlen Caemmerer * Re: [Toolserver-l] [Wikitech-ambassadors] Collection of issues after Toolserver shutdown [20:38:38] Is there gonna be a countdown party? [21:48:59] Does someone have a catch-all .htaccess directive for redirecting everything to a fixed URL, i. e. /~timl/abc should redirect to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Tim.landscheidt ("abc" gets discarded). [21:53:20] you mean like /~timl/(.+) [21:53:40] or /~timl/(.{3,}) [22:59:24] scfc_de: Toolserver's webserver does not run Aapche [22:59:31] scfc_de: It runs Zues and other crap [22:59:38] but it supports a basic .htaccess with plain redirects [22:59:39] no regexes [22:59:48] What you can do use append a '#' to strip it [23:00:01] Redirect 301 /~timl http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Tim.landscheidt# [23:00:14] that will redirect /~tim/foo to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Tim.landscheidt#foo [23:00:21] scfc_de: Also, please use HTTPS :) [23:00:25] in your redirect target [23:00:27] might as well :) [23:01:01] Dispenser: one more hour :) [23:01:12] or rather 2 [23:01:14] sorry [23:01:15] :) [23:27:05] Krinkle, scfc_de: Please use protocol relative redirects :-) [23:27:12] Krinkle: Ah -- too much work. I'm not spending much time on the last minutes of ZWS :-). [23:27:45] scfc_de: This just goes in a plain file in public_html/.htaccess [23:27:53] that is preserved after toolserver goes down [23:28:00] what do you have currently? [23:28:56] $ cat /home/timl/public_html/.htaccess [23:28:56] Redirect permanent /~timl/templatecheck.php http://tools.wmflabs.org/templatecheck/ [23:28:56] Redirect permanent /~timl/wikilint/ http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikilint/ [23:28:58] Redirect permanent /~timl/ http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Tim.landscheidt [23:29:02] (644 :) ) [23:30:11] scfc_de: If you add a '#' to the last url, it will make things become a working url [23:30:15] now most of them become 404s on de.wiki [23:30:36] Redirect permanent /~timl/ http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Tim.landscheidt# [23:30:45] Krinkle: I know (now :-)), but I still couldn't bother :-). Thanks!
