[13:39:06] Hello, is there a more idomatic way of transcluding with parameters a table template to only include a range of columns? This is my WIP approach that I hope I abandon for something simpler [13:39:19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Maxorazon/sandbox/AMG_GPU_features_transclusion_example [18:20:30] Howdy all. We recently install v1.37.1 and enabled the included Extension:Cite today. Having some issues though. All of the inline citation numbers come up as just the & character instead of like [1] or [2]. Haven't been able to find a single use case where it doesn't do that. The output is fine, we have Module:Errors installed, and [18:20:31] we're not seeing any errors being thrown when rendered, in the editor, nor anywhere in any pages' source. Anybody have ideas for where to look next? :\ [21:33:25] Why is transcluding a wikitext table breaking all formatting? [21:33:33] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Maxorazon/sandbox/AMG_GPU_features_transclusion_example [23:19:43] maxzor_: the table is probably not starting in a newline [23:42:02] Morning folks. Recently installed 1.37.1 and yesterday enabled the bundled Extension:Cite, but we're getting strange behavior. Every inline citation comes out with an ampersand instead of the citation number in brackets and this is consistent across every page it's used on across the install. (The footnotes however output perfectly with either the [23:42:03] reference XML tag or a reflist template.) We can't find any error messaging, nothing in the docs talks about it, Gooogle comes up empty, nothing on Phabricator seems to be a match, etc. We're running out of ideas... anybody here have tips for things we can look at? [23:43:14] middle of the night here :D [23:43:58] you may have editied the MediaWiki: page which specifies how are the numbers listed [23:47:09] MediaWiki:cite_reference_link perhaps [23:47:52] Good evening. I'm trying to figure out how to link to an externally hosted image in a mediawiki. [23:48:12] just create an external link to it [23:48:25] but you need to flip a setting to enable embedding external images [23:49:05] !wg AllowExternalImages | puff [23:49:05] puff: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgAllowExternalImages [23:49:06] Like

? [23:49:08] Aha. [23:49:13] no [23:49:37] https://exmaple.orgmyimage.jpg [23:49:47] er.. https://exmaple.org/myimage.jpg [23:50:41] Thanks Platonides. I'm looking through the system messages and comparing them to the values on mw:Special:AllMessages [23:50:41] *example [23:50:58] thadius856: is your wiki public where we can view it? [23:51:01] puff, strongly recommend not doing that :) [23:51:21] It sure is public. Am I allow to posts ELs? [23:51:23] but it's up to you if you're willing to take the risk [23:51:32] thadius856: sure [23:51:48] https://wiki.captain-of-industry.com/User:Thadius856/sandbox [23:52:04] Is there a way I can bulk upload imges? I have several hundred photos I need to upload. [23:52:24] And having to go through eight steps per image... well that ain't gonna happen any time soon. [23:52:47] puff: you could copy them to the filesystem and use importImages.php maintenance script [23:52:50] ^ [23:52:58] and besides that, I think pywikibot can also do mass import [23:52:59] there are several tools for image uploading as well [23:53:07] like commonist [23:53:21] Okay, sounds like pywikibot or commonist are the way I should go. [23:53:45] Extension:SimpleBatchUpload could get you there as well. [23:54:00] It's for my makerspace's wiki (photos of how to disassemble, clean and reassemble the lens for the laser cnc, whee!) and right now nobody seems to know how to deal with the mediawiki install. [23:54:02] thadius856: https://wiki.captain-of-industry.com/MediaWiki:Cite_reference_link shows a & [23:54:06] Well, one guy does... and he has covid. So... [23:54:20] even though the contents seem the expected... [23:54:47] How did you view the output value of that message? [23:55:08] thadius856: I visited the above url [23:55:12] it shows a & [23:55:18] it should show a $3 [23:55:38] compare with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Cite_reference_link [23:55:47] Oh, right, I thought you were saying you were able to switch a debug flag to show raw message values or something. My bad. [23:55:50] well that's a weird bug [23:56:15] well, I can view its raw value by pressing the View source link on that page :) [23:56:32] Izno, Platonides: Are any of those bulk upload options *not* dependent on changing the mediawiki install's configuration? [23:56:55] pywikibot can be done user side [23:56:55] Indeed, first thing I checked was to make sure it wasn't a display artifact from some funky CSS. I see the & coming out of the parser as well. [23:57:05] Izno: Thanks. [23:57:06] puff: the client tools do not require changing the mediawiki install [23:57:17] (as long as it already has file uploading enabled, of course) [23:57:42] thadius856: did you touch the mediawiki core files? [23:57:49] Platonides: Well I can manually upload the images, it just takes way too many steps. [23:58:01] then these tools will be able as well :) [23:58:23] That's pywikibot and commoist? [23:58:28] I have not personally. There are two admins for the site (the company's devs) and from chats with them last night, they have not intentionally noodled with anything core side. [23:59:22] I can say little more than "it is not expected to be doing this" :P
