[08:17:52] <RiderOfTheStorm>	 Hi there, Ihave a question about a self hosted Mediawiki. I have had hundrets of bots that registered and created pages (mainly profile pages). Is there a way to bulk remove those accounts and pages?
[08:49:26] <Guest0>	 Hi, I have a short question  about running maintenance scripts starting with MW. You now have to e.g. do maintenance/run.php update.
[08:49:58] <Guest0>	  If I want to add flags: Do the mechanics remain the same, e.g. I could do maintenance/run.php update --wiki commons
[08:51:03] <Guest0>	 or "maintenance/run.php update --nopurge --quick" et.c
[08:51:28] <Guest0>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Update.php
[08:52:56] <Guest0>	 To cut it short. Apart from maintenance/run.php and dropping the php suffix from the respective script everything remains the same?
[09:19:51] <Guest0>	 I do not yet have an MW 1.40 at my fingertips. This is why I am asking.
[09:27:28] <taavi>	 yes, `php maintenance/run.php update --foo --bar` should work fine
[09:28:48] <Guest0>	 Cool. Thanks for confirming.
[15:13:52] <Tuxedo>	 Hello, I have a question: I'm looking for a method to use a custom image view page instead of the default metadata page in the File: namespace.
[15:13:53] <Tuxedo>	 Is it possible to globally modify all default image link destinations:
[15:13:54] <Tuxedo>	 [[File:Some image|800px]]
[15:13:56] <Tuxedo>	 So instead of the image linking to: 
[15:13:57] <Tuxedo>	 File:Some_image.jpg
[15:13:59] <Tuxedo>	 ... it would link to:
[15:14:00] <Tuxedo>	 File.cgi?Some_image.jpg
[15:14:02] <Tuxedo>	 This assumes that File.cgi is a server exception, i.e. a custom image output that is bypassed by the wiki's default page serving. 
[15:14:03] <Tuxedo>	 It can of course be done in the markup by [[File:Some image|link=https://example.com/File.cgi?Some_image.jpg|800px]]
[15:14:05] <Tuxedo>	 But there are many pages I prefer not to modify manually.
[15:14:06] <Tuxedo>	 So if using the link= markup, it may be better done with the Replace Text extension:
[15:14:08] <Tuxedo>	 * Extract the filename within any "[[File:(.).jpg|" patterns.
[15:14:10] <Tuxedo>	 * Replace any spaces in filenames with underscores.
[15:14:11] <Tuxedo>	 * Insert |link=Some_image.jpg after the first | in each "[[File:(.)]] pattern.
[15:14:13] <Tuxedo>	 Or perhaps another solution is to create a new namespace (eg. Display:) that shows an image but generates a custom image view when clicked and replace all "File:" instances across the wiki with "Display:"
[15:14:14] <Tuxedo>	 Another way may be to modify the File: page output page. If so, how and where can this be done?
[15:14:15] <Tuxedo>	 Can it be done in LocalSettings?
