[00:25:31] Cannot access the database: :real_connect(): (HY000/2054): Server sent charset (0) unknown to the client. Please, report to the developers. mediawiki [00:25:46] I get that on Mediawiki 1.39 Ubutnu 22.04 [00:26:00] Database is I think MariaDB 10 [00:31:33] Eytirth: are you sure you have right server/port configured? Error maybe sounds like mediawiki is connecting to something that is not a database [00:36:53] Yes, I do [00:37:10] New error, last page: https://pastebin.com/2LGk8BCd [00:52:24] Worked, bnut had to install as "root" [14:41:42] Hi, I have a question about Special:BotPasswords since I do not really understand the actual process from reading https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Bot_passwords [14:44:00] Is the process like this? You create a new user account. This account is given the bot flag. Once the account has the bot flag the account owner goes to Special:BotPasswords and does a self-service selection of all required permissions needed for the bot and at the same time sets a password [14:47:27] What makes me unsure is that you still need to provide a name for the bot. [14:48:48] Perhaps the process is like this: You are a user and want to create a bot password. To do so you go to Special:BotPasswords specify the desired name of the bot, select the needed permissions and set the password. [14:49:36] After doing so a new user account gets created with the provided bot name and you will have to ask for the bot flag granted in a second step?
