[00:21:54] Voting in the WMF board election is now open: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting (just about any MediaWiki developer who's committed anything to Gerrit or an extension/skin, even if it's on GitHub, in the past 6 months is eligible) [05:47:00] any idea what could cause this error occasionaly? it happens when i try and edit a page, or save a page with parsoind. but only sometimes: Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: (curl error: 28) Timeout was reached [05:47:10] like once a week or so [16:07:34] Hi, is it possible to hide edits by admins in recent changes? Thanks [16:09:27] all edits or just certain edits? [16:10:28] I only see filters for "bot" vs "human" but not for "admin vs regular human" [16:11:30] in general, the answer is no by default, but most admins have the ability to mark rollbacks as "bot" edits, which would be hidden in the default filters. If you gave the sysop usergroup the ability to add and remove the "bot" right from themselves, they could opt into hiding a wider variety of things by default [16:12:07] otherwise, an extension could allow such a filter without needing to mess around with bot access (and the extension would allow filtering after the fact rather than letting the admin choose whether or not it appears) [16:12:53] finally, you can achieve it via CSS as well, but this isn't a true filter because you will be shown 50/100/whatever results and then hiding admins, meaning fewer than your chosen number of results will be shown [16:14:17] (the css part might also require js, now that I look at it) [16:16:39] I was wondering to hide all edits by a sysop in recent changes. [16:17:10] So the only option is to tag sysop bot right? [16:17:20] That's the easiest option, at least. [16:18:10] Is there anything we achieve this through common.js? [16:18:19] we can* [16:21:08] Hmmm, probably, yeah. [16:24:21] Any hint how? [16:27:03] You'd write a script that scans Special:RecentChanges and looks for your list of pre-approved users. [16:27:20] And then hides those entries from Special:RecentChanges. [16:29:25] Gotcha [16:29:47] There might be existing solutions if you search around a bit. [16:29:53] There are worse ideas. [16:30:04] Like you could just delete those rows from the recentchanges database table. [16:30:46] I tried searching for it a lot but could find anything and then I came here for help/suggestions. [16:31:20] could not* i mean [21:09:40] Sorry, naïve question: A bunch of us are setting up a MediaWiki installation. We've installed Extention:Cite so that s work, but {{cite}}s don't work yet. I gather we need to get the Wikipedia-style citation templates which are a separate thing... Where should we get those from? [21:11:59] you can use Special:Export [21:12:14] to export Template:Cite and friends [21:12:34] Thank you! [21:12:35] or make Special:Import in your wiki fetch them directly from the other wiki [21:12:48] note you will surely need parserfunctions extension [21:12:54] and maybe even Lua [21:16:00] enwiki's [[Template:Citation]] gets into a whole sea of Lua in part because of [[w:en:WP:CS1]] and [[w:en:WP:CS2]]. [21:24:04] Thank you, that's progress! Now I can see "{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}" which is new... [21:39:04] there's a good chance that you *don't* really want...any of enwiki's templates, they're annoyingly complex for no real reason; many third-party sites have equally usable but far less complex citation templates and the like :) [21:43:37] Do you recommend any? I just want to reference websites and books in a Wikipedia-style syntax. [21:44:15] Wait, bd808, are you named after the TR-808's bass drum? (Sorry, total derailment...) [22:37:08] zoeb: heh, no but many folks guess that. I just happened to be the 808th person with the initials B. D. to get an account with InterNIC in the olden days of the Internet. Years later I needed a nick for lots of social sites and this one turned out to be easy to get most everywhere.
