[04:09:36] Hi, I'm trying to transclude another page onto the front page for a "Featured article" scenario. [04:09:38] However the footnotes are appearing, despite either being ommitted from the portion of text, or being specifically blocked with tags [04:09:39] Example here: http://smiliepedia.org/wikiforums/index.php?title=Main_Page [04:17:45] BradLee_: There is are ref tags that are being included in trhe includeonly tag [04:19:28] On wikipedia, they simply summarize the introduction in a new template rather than actually transcluding the article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Today%27s_featured_article/August_30,_2015&action=edit [04:19:40] @GEOFBOT: I know... but I was wondering if there was a way to exclude them from showing in the transcluded page... since it is only a "preview"... and not the full article [04:21:51] BradLee_: I htink the only option is to manually surround each in the with s [04:22:08] @GEOFBOT: Ah, well that's a bit of a PITA. [04:22:09] @GEOFBOT: I would love to be able to come up with a way to avoid this if possible, rather than having to create a whole new "summary article" [04:23:49] @GEOFBOT: That would work... but it would probably require just as much work as creating a summary ;) [04:25:18] BradLee_: there might be an extesion [04:28:26] @GEOFBOT: Okay. Do you know a name? Or will I have to just look through them all? [04:28:44] meh, googled it, don't think there is one [04:29:19] if you really wanted to you could write an extension, but I've never done that before [04:30:25] have to go, good luck [04:30:26] @GEOFBOT: Yeah, I think I might just find a coder to do this for me. [04:30:50] @GEOFBOT: no worries... thanks heaps..., take care :) [05:04:08] I figured out a better way to do this, but I still need a little help please. [05:04:09] I can put this into my Common.css to prevent the references from showing in ALL namespaces [05:04:11] ol.references { [05:04:12] display: none; [05:04:14] } [05:04:15] But I'm not exactly sure how to apply it to the TEMPLATE namespace only? [05:04:17] Sorry if it's a dumb question. :/ [05:06:23] Or maybe even a SPECIFIC template page would be even more perfect [05:06:46] than using the whole namespace [05:11:58] .ns-template ol.references { [05:12:00] display: none; [05:12:01] } [05:12:03] Doesn't work :/ [05:16:30] It still hides the references from every namespace [07:40:27] ns-10, ol.references { [07:40:29] display: none; [07:40:30] } [07:40:32] Doesn't work either [08:08:41] Can anyone help me please? I've been banging away at this for a good couple of hours, with no joy. :( [08:57:20] i hav a wiki but i hav a probelm with teh wiki [08:57:43] the wiki does not edit [08:57:50] what du i do? [09:00:14] that is very descriptive [09:00:39] well i go to my wiki and when i try to click teh "edit" it does not say what do u want to edit? [09:00:47] as in, how do i tell it what 2 edit? [10:10:30] I need to apply the following CSS to a SINGLE page only. :/ [10:10:32] ol.references { [10:10:33] display: none; [10:10:35] } [10:10:36] I've been trying for FOUR hours. [10:10:38] I want it ONLY to apply to the Template:Featured_article page, but I can't get the syntax right [10:10:40] PLEASE put me out of my misery. [10:10:53] :( [10:15:34] BradLee_: do you know CSS? [10:17:23] not well enough to be able to fix this :( [10:17:24] most of the time i can hack away to get the result I want [10:17:26] but not this time [10:17:27] i dont even know what terms to search for to find a relevant answer to fix this [10:18:33] BradLee_: the tag of each page has a specific CSS class representing the title of the page. You can use it to make the rule apply only to that specific page [10:18:40] ive tried ns-10 (the ns number i want) [10:18:42] ns-template [10:18:43] 100s of variations [10:20:11] no, the per-page CSS class name is page-something [10:21:22] i know the page name [10:21:24] i just dont know how to tie it together with the syntax to get the thing to work [10:21:25] also, I'm wondering if you want to apply that CSS to the template page, or to pages *using* that template [10:21:26] the page is page-Template_Featured_article [10:22:41] so I assume I would use: [10:22:43] .page-Template_Featured_article ol.references { [10:22:44] but that doesn't work >.< [10:23:11] that should work, of course after the cache is cleared [10:24:06] can you post the link to the wiki? it would be easier for me to figure out what's the problem [10:26:39] Sure: [10:30:47] http://smiliepedia.org/wikiforums/index.php?title=Article:Aiwan <-- is the article I am transcluding [10:30:48] http://smiliepedia.org/wikiforums/index.php?title=Template:Featured_article <-- is the template page I am transcluding the article into [10:30:50] http://smiliepedia.org/wikiforums/index.php?title=Main_Page <-- is the main page (it's the featured article I'm trying to get to not display the footnotes [10:30:51] http://smiliepedia.org/wikiforums/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css <-- is where I am putting the CSS to do it [10:32:59] so, what I was saying, you don't want to display those references on the transcluded page (main page), not on the template [10:33:18] because the main page doesn't have the page-Template_Featured_article css class [10:34:07] use page-Main_Page [10:35:23] Oh, so it's still being transcluded to the Main_Page even though I've told it not to display in the template? :o [10:36:55] CSS hides things on the browser, when the page is displayed, it doesn't affect transclusion [10:38:41] OMG it worked!!! That was so simple !!! [10:38:42] I was getting caught up with the page-inside-a-page-inside-a-page thingy [10:38:44] Yeah, makes sense [10:38:45] Guess I have just been at it too long and am overtired :/ [10:38:47] Good sign I should prob go to bed now lol [10:38:48] Anyway... thank you so much!!! [10:39:01] yw :) [10:39:23] :) [12:54:10] Good day, my server had a minor hiccup which resulted getting it rebooted. As a result my WIKI sidebar disappeared and I can't get it back on. Anyone got any tips? [12:59:06] Hyperi: What is URL to your wiki? [13:01:46] tale: http://icewiki.hyperi.fi/ [13:02:22] Hyperi: I can see the sidebar. [13:02:23] I've tried removing stuff from it in case it's incorrectly formatted, aswell purging cache with all means (touching + DB table truncate) [13:02:46] tale: This one? http://icewiki.hyperi.fi/MediaWiki:Sidebar [13:03:02] Hyperi: Try with another browser. Or try not logged in. [13:03:32] Nopes [13:03:37] Hyperi: I can see the sideber on the main page, and I can see also that Sidepbar page. [13:03:47] The contents differ for me [13:03:52] Even with another browser [13:04:03] (Aswell other users reporting that the information there has disappeared) [13:04:09] Mitä meinaat sisältö on erilainen? [13:04:18] Mind if I PM ? :P [13:04:31] Hyperi: Juu, ei PM:ää lainkaan. [13:04:33] Not sure how finnish is tolerated here [13:04:58] Hyperi: User Grathlek has modified that sidebar page three times today. [13:05:08] In attempt to fix it [13:05:11] Yet 0 effect [13:13:05] The formating seems to be ok [13:13:25] did you make any changes to the config of your wiki installation ? [13:13:32] tale [13:14:03] Lord-Simon: Yes? [13:15:08] This seems to be the problem Hyperi has: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Changes_not_showing_up [13:20:03] Actually it still didn't show up [13:20:04] tale, sorry [13:20:04] mistook you for the one asking [13:20:15] I tried to edit /en aswell, and truncated objectcache table [13:20:25] Are you using a cache backend or something like that ? memcache, apc/u, varnish... no varnish [13:26:23] Actually I'm using memcache now that you mention [13:27:20] echo 'flush_all' | nc localhost 11211 [13:27:25] Lord-Simon: You get a candy [13:27:32] I had forgotten to start memcache [13:27:49] ... [13:27:56] sigh [13:28:09] wait... [13:28:23] go edit the configuration files [13:28:32] so memcache will start with the system [14:25:27] hello, fast question: what's the best plugin for markdown syntax? [14:43:05] tethra: Which plugins have You found so far? [15:42:38] tale: the ones here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Markdown_extensions [15:43:42] tale: one appears to be unmainted, another is beta, another has geshi support and is stable, which i guess i should go for in the absence of any other lists [15:44:01] tethra: Good plan. [16:53:51] Using mw 1.23.8 with Collection 1.7.0 and while Special:Book shows 2 Columns as an option, output is always only one column. Any suggestions are welcome. [17:08:38] (I should mention we're using mwlib) [17:12:01] Temporus: since you are using an older mediawiki you might have to download an older version of the extension... [17:12:26] Using http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/Collection [17:54:31] tale: It'd be nice to hear your feedback on it too. And do log any bugs you find! [17:54:44] Sorry, tethra ^ [18:26:58] Niharika: sure :) [18:49:09] GEOFBOT thanks, I'll give that a try. [23:35:54] hi, I have a wiki on a domain, but the domain name redirects to the wiki main page. it looks like search engines are not indexing the main page because of it. is there some way how to not have it shown as redirect? [23:37:28] Is there a way to share logins with wordpreas [23:46:38] !auth [23:46:38] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin
