Hi. Per Sumana, I'd like to get a Labsconsole account so I can submit merge requests. Username DCOLLINS, email address dcollinsn@gmail.com. I do not have a svn account.

Hi Ryan, I was unable to create an account there just now. I made a note of my attempt on Talk:Wikimedia_Labs#Create_account_26228.

It worked this evening however.

status update on database replication on Labs?

Could you please post some kind of a Labs status update with the ETA for database replication? Many were hoping by the end of the month/quarter, and the main Labs page says something about the end of February, but no status updates since last year. It would help to plan.

Hi, I am running mediawiki on a 2008 windows server.
Mediawiki 1.20.2
PHP 5.3.19 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL 5.5.29

I am trying to set up an active directory with my work where it will access the employee database so everyone can log in with their username and password. It's not working, plus it even says that the admin username and password are incorrect. I have uncommented the php_ldap.dll extension and downloaded the LDAP authentication extension.

Local Settings:
require_once( “$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication/ LdapAuthentication.php” );
$wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();
$wgLDAPDomainNames = array( “my.work.com” );
$wgLDAPServerNames = array( “my.work.com” => “my.domain.my.work.com” );
$wgLDAPEncryptionType = array( “my.work.com” => “clear” );
$wgLDAPUseSSL = array( “my.work.com” => false );
$wgLDAPRetrievePrefs = array( “my.work.com” => true );
$wgLDAPMinimalPasswordLength = 1;
$wgLDAPSearchStrings = array( “my.work.com” => “my\\USER-NAME” );
$wgLDAPBaseDNs = array( “my.work.com” => “dc=my, dc=work, dc=com” );

I have some group permissions in my local settings as well and can post those if needed.

Can you help me?

Require an account on Wikimedia Labs

I'm a contributor on Chinese Wikipedia, and have lots of contributions on Chinese Wikipedia, and I'm interested in mediawiki developing. Besides that, I'm going to attend the Hackathon on Wikimania 2012 in Washinton D.C., I want to require an account on Wikimedia Labs to have some experiments and practice on mediawiki before the Hackathon.

I've already submitted my require on developer access page.

Thx~

Requesting access to Labs.

Gday Ryan. I am doing some work on a project with Dirk Beetstra, which he has running on Labs. Beestra is after some support and menial work and suggested that I should contact you to get access to Labs so that I could assist. Is that possible? It is a number of years since I have done shell work, though did act as postmaster and listmaster for RootsWeb for a number of years and that included about ten years of shell access. Thanks for your consideration on this matter. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:17, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

search attributes with a userdefined filter

Hey Ryan,

please give me a hint. I'am searching for a possibility to access a special colum at the ldap. For example, if a user want to log in, at first, I want to check if this user exists or not. After this step, I want to check a special attribute. Only User, which have an entry at these attribute are allowed to log in. But I don't know how and where to set these filter. I thought, perhaps here at the LocalSettings.php? but I'am really not sure.

$wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array( "array"=>"uid" xx>>here?<< );

xxI want to search for something like: "eduPersonEntitlement = urn:mace:dir:entitlement...."

Thanks for help.

Best regards

File:Ryan_Lane_-_How_to_be_a_part_of_the_MediaWiki_developer_community.pdf

Hey. I was reading your File:Ryan_Lane_-_How_to_be_a_part_of_the_MediaWiki_developer_community.pdf that you had linked on the mailing list. It looks like quite a good introduction for newbies, but one thing that was bothering me is on page 11 you had:

$escID = $dbr->addQuotes( $id );
$dbr->query( "SELECT * FROM foo WHERE foo_id= $escID" );

as acceptable. Really to be acceptable, foo needs to be escaped with $dbr->tableName('foo') or the code won't work on wikis that use db prefixes.

Bawolff (talk)23:33, 16 February 2012

It's acceptable from a "you're not going to get owned" POV. There's a reason I mention later that there's a recommended way.

LDAP wsDomain error talk

Hi Ryan,

 Spent the last few hours scouring all sorts of info over the wsDomain issues. I see that there is still no fix, and still lots of confusion.

I just finished an installation of Mediawiki + Ldap and immediatly ran into the issue. config: Apache 2, Server 2008 r2 x64, Mysql, Php 5.2 thread safe - vc6, xcache for php 5.2

I was trying to dig into it, and to do so i did a quick "search in all files" in the mediawiki root dir for "wsdomain" (not case sensitive). I got 133 hits in 3 files, only 4 of which were not in LdapAuthentication.php. In fact those 4 are the only hits outside of the LDAP plugin at all. (My resutls might be a *slight* bit off as i have added some of the "fixes" ive read about...nothing is working) I can produce this error ever time, by simply visiting the main wiki page and then clicking login. I have so far *only* seen it when a user is *not* logged in. Logging in makes it go away, and in fact possibly not come back. I logged in and out on Firefox and the problem went away...so i had to use Chrome to see it again. As long as i dont log in on Chrome i can make it happen over and over.

The question is...where is $_SESSSION['wsDomain'] being set? I cant find it? Everywhere i find it, its being refrenced, not set.

Id like to help fix this. I can collect any information you want, and if needed we may even be able to give you remmote access to examine the setup/system.

Wikimedia Labs

Interested in development of Wikimedia Labs as a tool for extension development. I have SVN commit access - would it be possible to get that linked to a Labs account? Thank you!

Varnent21:39, 29 November 2011

Yep. Labs isn't fully set up for an easy extension development environment right now, but if you are willing to set most things up manually right now, it'll work. I need the following information from you:

  1. Your preferred wiki user name
  2. Your SVN account name
  3. Your preferred email address

You can send me this via wiki email, or via rlane at wikimedia dot org.

Crap articles

In the ACTRIAL discussion you said:

Why don't we instead make a policy that marks "crap" articles as being poor quality, then funnel our efforts into make them good? Instead of deleting something, why don't you take a few minutes to make it better?

Maybe that was just rhetoric, but if it was a serious question, the reason is that, though many articles are indeed flagged for improvement, when we refer to crap articles created as first edit by non-autoconfirmed users, we mean "articles" like "Ryan X born 7 August 1997 is the coolest man in the universe" or "Tommy Z is gay and has no friends" or (a few from my recent deletion log):

JohnCD23:12, 7 November 2011

Yes, and there are examples of legitimate content and non-crap stub articles being deleted because the person didn't cite sources, or it's a stub. In the old days this content would be marked as [citation needed], or marked as a stub. This leaves around content that others see as needing citation or being a stub and it entices them to make it better.

Ryan lane23:28, 7 November 2011

Yes, certainly there are examples of that, but you seemed to be saying that deletion is always bad because it removes information that could have been improved. People often say that who do not know what the actual new page list of an anyone-can-edit site looks like. My point was to illustrate that many new "articles" are not amenable to improvement, and those are the "crap articles" people were talking about.

JohnCD12:25, 8 November 2011

I'm not saying that there is no bad content. I'm saying that there is also good content that gets thrown out rather than being improved. I want to avoid us throwing out the good with the bad, and for us to try to be more helpful instead of telling people to go away.
