[11:07:55] <Frorayz>	 Hey guys I am back with another question lol 
[11:08:15] <Frorayz>	 Is it possible to redirect a page to an external link?
[11:08:47] <Frorayz>	 so when you would click it it would go to external link 
[11:08:51] <Frorayz>	 thorugh the page ?
[11:16:39] <Vulpix>	 Why don't you use an external link in place of an internal link?
[11:18:16] <Frorayz>	 Vulpix wdym?
[11:19:03] <Vulpix>	 Frorayz: External links allows you to put a link pointing to an external website. You create them like this: [https://example.com Click me!]
[11:19:13] <Frorayz>	 Oh 
[11:19:19] <Frorayz>	 I know but I wanna make a redirect
[11:19:22] <Frorayz>	 Is that possible
[11:19:35] <Frorayz>	 something like this?? #REDIRECT [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor]
[11:20:31] <Frorayz>	 if someone was to click a specific page i want that page to redirect to that url
[11:21:09] <Vulpix>	 It is possible, if you add the external site to the interwiki table, assign it an interwiki prefix, with iw_local = 1, and then put it in a redirect
[11:21:13] <Vulpix>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interwiki
[11:22:43] <Frorayz>	 hmm :O
[11:22:51] <Frorayz>	 Is wikipedia already set up?
[11:23:33] <Vulpix>	 MediaWiki comes with some interwikis already populated. wikipedia is one of them
[11:24:05] <lens0021>	 you can see the available list on https://wiki.frorayz.tech/wiki/Special:Interwiki
[11:24:53] <Frorayz>	 So in theory 
[11:25:15] <Frorayz>	 I would do #REDIRECT [[Wikipedia:Page_Name]]?
[11:26:17] <Vulpix>	 yes, but only if the interwiki is set with iw_local = 1 on the interwiki table
[11:26:40] <Frorayz>	 yea it doesn't redirect
[11:26:41] <Frorayz>	 https://wiki.frorayz.tech/wiki/FroyoWiki:VisualEditor
[11:27:04] <Frorayz>	 I am guessing it will need database edit? 
[11:27:24] <Vulpix>	 Yes, or install Extension:Interwiki
[11:27:27] <Vulpix>	 !e Interwiki
[11:27:27] <wm-bot>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Interwiki
[11:27:56] <lens0021>	 the wiki has interwiki extension already
[11:29:36] <Frorayz>	 yea it does
[11:32:21] <Frorayz>	 https://i.imgur.com/6mjphXn.png
[11:32:30] <Frorayz>	 So I set iw_local = 1? 
[11:32:32] <Frorayz>	 on wikipedia?
[11:33:02] <Vulpix>	 yes
[11:34:58] <Frorayz>	 weird not working still
[11:39:21] <Frorayz>	 trying to redirect this https://wiki.frorayz.tech/wiki/FroyoWiki:VisualEditor to this page in wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor
[11:39:58] <lens0021>	 maybe interwiki data is cached? i'm not sure
[11:40:48] <Vulpix>	 yes, interwiki is cached
[11:41:06] <Frorayz>	 how would i purge this?
[11:42:39] <Vulpix>	 Running this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ClearInterwikiCache.php
[11:44:18] <Frorayz>	 did but same lol
[11:52:46] <Vulpix>	 It works for interlanguage links. I expect it to work with normal interwiki links too given they're set with iw_local = 1
[11:58:00] <Frorayz>	 not sure how exacly it works
[12:02:16] <lens0021>	 you could set iw_local via the special page if you configure interwiki extension properly in localsettings.php
[12:04:20] <Frorayz>	 lens0021 how would you do that?
[12:04:25] <Frorayz>	 I tried the db method
[12:05:23] <lens0021>	 appending `$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['interwiki'] = true;` and visitng special:interwiki
[12:11:56] <Frorayz>	 lens0021 damn thanks!! 
[12:11:58] <Frorayz>	 It worked now :)
[12:12:51] <lens0021>	 i just have read the link vulpix gives, thanks
[12:13:05] <Frorayz>	 Vulpix Thank you !1
[12:13:11] <Frorayz>	 also!
[19:12:34] <Crepusculum>	 Is it possible to rename Gerrit and Phabricator accounts if my wiki account is renamed or not?
[19:19:23] <zabe>	 Phab yes, gerrit I don't know
[19:21:31] <legoktm[m]>	 We don't rename Gerrit/LDAP users right now: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP/Renaming_users
[19:32:25] <Crepusculum>	 legoktm[m]: OK, I understand. Thanks!
[21:21:15] <nyuszika7h>	 issues like these make me think... has nobody heard of user IDs when designing those systems?
[21:21:54] <nyuszika7h>	 usernames should be purely visual, apart from a unique constraint maybe
[21:26:40] <p858snake>	 i thought gerrit renaming was fixed when we went to the new user db thing, Hashar would know when hes next around
