 Bryan Hilderbrand | Yeah, exactly one of my annoyances. | 06:34:17 |
 Georgios Mavropalias | Hmm, Meza is a great project, but I think I will wait until it can let you choose which extensions you want to install, and also support Ubuntu, before using it. | 06:42:26 |
 hexmode | It should work on Ubuntu since it works on Debian | 18:29:14 |

 rundg | Has anyone incorporated WikiData into their wiki projects? | 17:30:25 |
| rundg | Looking for examples to scope and understand the best way to combine WikiData and FamilySearch wikis | 17:31:54 |
| rundg | I've already done a lot of reading, so that's why I'm looking for concrete examples | 17:32:53 |
| rundg | I think the preliminary steps would be to make FamilySearch wikis compatible with the OpenGraph protocol (ie. FaceBook) using https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenGraphMeta and Description2 | 17:35:20 |
 cicalese | You may want to talk to Andra Waagmeester, who is very active in the third party Wikibase community: https://twitter.com/andrawaag/status/1205521177646632961. | 17:35:32 |
| rundg | This would provide better SEO and start the structured data implementation without even using WikiData | 17:36:39 |
| rundg | Thx cicalese | 17:42:01 |
| hexmode | Has anyone else here read Philip E. Auerswald's "The Code Economy"??
I'm about half way through and he seems to be making a great argument that one of the drivers of ... everything ... is the ability to share knowledge.
And I'm thinking, of course, WIKIS! | 21:14:14 |

| rundg | Why is $WIKI blank (empty) for --fspath and --urlpath in
sudo -E -u meza-ansible WIKI=en php /opt/htdocs/wiki/mediawiki/maintenance/generateSitemap.php --fspath=/opt/htdocs/wiki/mediawiki/sitemap/$WIKI/ --identifier=familysearch --urlpath=/wiki/$WIKI/sitemap/$WIKI/ --server=https://www.familysearch.org

 tgr | that syntax sets environment variables for the process that's being invoked, not for the current shell | 08:28:30 |
| rundg | Thanks @tgr | 12:04:53 |
| rundg | This syntax works:
export WIKI=en; sudo -E -u meza-ansible php /opt/htdocs/wiki/mediawiki/maintenance/generateSitemap.php --fspath=/opt/htdocs/wiki/mediawiki/sitemap/$WIKI/ --identifier=familysearch --urlpath=/wiki/$WIKI/sitemap/$WIKI/ --server=https://www.familysearch.org

| hexmode | tgr: hoping you are around... Do you know the recommended way to upgrade a WMF virtual server to Debian Buster from Stretch? | 02:16:33 |
| hexmode | (I want to upgrade wikiapiary and try it on php 7.3 or 4 | 02:18:07 |
| hexmode | * (I want to upgrade wikiapiary and try it on php 7.3 or 4) | 02:18:12 |
| hexmode | Also, just realized WikiApiary would be a good place for me to test some extensions I'm working on. | 02:18:48 |
| hexmode | "apt dist-upgrade" would work, but is that frowned on since the server is deployed from a stretch image? | 02:19:53 |
 legoktm | Its recommended that you just create a new VM and copy stuff over as needed | 06:31:00 |
| legoktm | But technically the apt dist-upgrade should just work since its a normal Debian system more or less | 06:31:21 |
|  kai joined the room. | 14:20:05 |
| hexmode | legoktm: thanks, that is kind of what I thought. And, hey, a new install is always a time to clean out cruft! | 16:26:02 |
| hexmode | bleh ... FP of WikiApiary was timing out. Just approved the latest edit from Karsten (from back in January!) and now it works | 16:43:20 |
| hexmode | Going through my logs and this guy keeps popping up: https://adef.xyz/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9 | 16:45:07 |
| hexmode | they're pointing to a "served-by-linode.png" that WikiApiary no longer hosts | 16:45:44 |
 revansx | Hey guys.. Happy Ho-Ho.. If you have any time today, please take a peek at the EMWCon 2020 Announcement page I created in mw.org [1]. I'd like to send it out to all the main mailing lists as IRC rooms, but I wanted to get some feedback from you guys first. Thanks!
