[00:03:17] My work has an internal wiki and I need to overhaul part of it. Is there a way to make a "fork" of a page or section to work on, before committing changes to the official wiki? [00:43:45] jfcaron: A simple, albeit public way is to perhaps just make it a subpage where you can perform your edits before applying them on the main page. [00:46:09] I couldn't find a way to make a copy, only to move each page to a new name. [00:46:25] I ended up copy & pasting the wikitext and am now editing locally with my text editor. [00:46:49] I'll get the sysadmin to help me replace all the files when I'm done, I guess, or maybe host a demo wiki with my changes. [00:51:42] Hosting a private development version was my other idea. It's more complicated, but gives you all the features of an actual wiki without having to expose anything potentially incomplete, though you still have to ultimately copy-paste the page sources into the production wiki. [00:52:25] I'm surprised there isn't a built-in way to make a "private" copy of a page, or like save a draft of an edit. [00:52:40] But I guess the scope of the software has to end somewhere. [00:54:59] So was I with other features I took for granted, hence why I visit here from time to time. The subpage thing is what we did on our wiki. The main page is slowly being reworked in a subpage so it can eventually fully replace the true one. [01:04:32] yar [01:04:38] Time to go home. [01:04:44] jfcaron [01:37:02] they could always just copy the content of the pages they wish to work on onto their userspace [17:00:35] How do i set a global group to were the global group can only add certain groups? [17:02:30] define "global group" -- are you using shared tables, some sort of extension, ...? [17:02:56] shared table i want to make the global groups able to only add certain user rights [17:03:05] and not all groups [17:04:40] $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups [17:05:08] yes but how do i set it for global groups? [17:06:25] if you're sharing the user_group table there is no distinction; every group is a global group [17:06:38] (and per-wiki local groups don't exist) [17:07:21] thanks! [17:08:21] (slight asterisk on the "per-wiki local groups don't exist" because you could define per-wiki autopromotions in your settings) [17:16:10] https://fanapedia.filmpedia.us/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page [17:16:40] im having an issue i connected the database to filmnprl_mw14863 and im still getting the acess denied message i am unsure what else needs to be done [17:22:22] > Access denied for user 'filmnprl_mw14863'@'localhost' to database 'globalblocking' [17:22:29] The message sounds self-explanatory [17:22:38] i gave the database acess [17:23:37] No. You have to give access to the user ('filmnprl_mw14863'@'localhost' exactly that user) to that database [17:23:55] Probably SELECT permission, at least [17:24:39] ok what would i name the database? [17:26:15] globalblocking.* ? [17:27:36] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/cP81pRGM/GlobalBlocking-REL1_41-f9eb2e4.tar.gz [17:27:47] i created it and gave it acess to the database usure why the error still occures [17:30:25] created what? You have to give permissions to the user, not create anything [17:31:43] https://www.techbrothersit.com/2018/06/how-to-grant-select-permission-on.html [18:34:25] filmnprl_globalblocking.mwoo_l10n_cache' doesn't exist [18:34:33] so i got it semi fixed but now how do i generate this [18:57:49] never mind [19:12:11] @vulpix i tried using the steps of the video you linked however when i run the commands all i get is yyyyyyyyyy down the line mine isnt the same as the one in the video [19:12:24] @vulpix [19:33:56] how do i make the local account section work? and set it to keep track of global edits? [19:33:56] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/EE85S96Z/image.png [19:34:04] how do i make the local account section work? and set it to keep track of global edits? [22:53:49] I have an infobox template that's exhibiting unexpected behavior. Somewhat difficult to explain in words, but it has several parameters, split under 2 headers, but only the parameters under the second header show up. The first header just shows up empty. [22:54:56] I'm also fairly certain it's not the paramters being associated wrong, since when I tested incrementing the header paramter numbers (i.e. header1 -> header2), some of them do show up, but now before the header, instead of after. [22:56:19] There is a /doc subpage where the template paramters are defined and the main template page maps those parameters onto the ones on the base infobox template.
