 vbrooks | Good morning yall! Quick question, has anyone ever used $wgFixDoubleRedirects on their wiki? | 15:38:19 |
| vbrooks | https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgFixDoubleRedirects | 15:38:20 |
| vbrooks | I wanted to see if anyone has encountered any issues using this | 15:39:20 |
 Bryan Hilderbrand | Never used it, but it looks cool. Looks like it's used as an option on page moves. Any way to just invoke it as a maintenance script?

 tgr | It was used on WMF wikis for a while, then turned off, IIRC | 04:54:07 |
| tgr | something about vandalism problems | 04:54:13 |

| hexmode | Pasting into VE from, say, Office365 should work now: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/VisualEditor/VisualEditor/+/487893/ | 13:02:37 |
 cicalese | Awesome! I'm happy to see the folks at Microsoft contributing several patches lately. | 13:44:18 |

| tgr | Awesome! I'm happy to see the folks at Microsoft contributing several patches lately. are they using VE internally? or is it part of some project to make Office work more smoothly with things? | 18:30:54 |
| hexmode | @tgr good question. We should ask! :) | 19:48:13 |

| tgr | pretty impressive looking wiki software: https://www.notion.so/ | 06:54:08 |
 rundg | @tgr interesting. They don't mention anywhere who founded the company. Do you know whether any former WMF people started / work there? | 13:32:42 |
| Bryan Hilderbrand | I posted this on the meza channel earlier since they mention NASA and specifically David Meza (meza is named after him):

| tgr | freephile: no clue | 00:29:19 |
| cicalese | Would anybody be willing to test a patch having to do with sending mail from a wiki: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T207621? | 15:46:23 |
 jamesmontalvo3 | Matter whether using $wgSMTP or not? | 17:07:33 |
| hexmode | jamesmontalvo3: looks like the patch should be tested in both cases. | 19:33:34 |
| hexmode | How can I programatically look at an SMW object like Main Page#_QUERY57faf47f1d63fd2d0e3903a2ce503f2d ?? | 19:34:35 |
| hexmode | I can see the contents in Special:Browse, but I don't know what methods it is using | 19:35:04 |
| hexmode | guess it is time for a little code spelunking | 19:35:16 |
| hexmode | API sandbox shows that action=browsebysubject shows what I want by default. but ... how? | 19:42:44 |

| hexmode | Raspberry Pi doesn't have a battery-backed clock, so running wikis on them is wonky. I think the SheevaPlug does have battery backing, but I'll check. http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-86-sheeva64.aspx | 20:03:37 |
| hexmode | yep RTC battery is listed | 20:04:08 |
| Bryan Hilderbrand | How can I add formatting (bold, mailto, links, maybe images) to MediaWiki System Messages that are used for emails? For example, Createaccount-text | 20:04:32 |
| hexmode | bryandamon: to my knowledge, you can't. I think those messages are hard-coded (boo!) | 20:05:13 |
| hexmode | but if you give me the text you're looking for, I'll confirm | 20:05:32 |
| Bryan Hilderbrand | I tried wikimarkup and html/css and it didn't seem to work. But just adding bold would be nice, is that what you mean by the text I'm looking for? | 20:08:36 |
| hexmode | No, what text are you in the email are you trying to make bold? | 20:09:17 |
| Bryan Hilderbrand | For example:
Your username is: "$2" | 20:11:50 |
