Extensions

List of extensions:

Prepared a while ago, they are all needed or wanted. We also have a Blog namespace, we don't want these included in edit count too (I'm going to ask ShoutWiki about downloading the code for the extension as they made it) Solar Dragon 12:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

As far as permissions for these go, should I assign CheckUser permissions to bureaucrats or would you prefer to have a 'CheckUser' usergroup for that as well? --Jake 13:04, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
The RSS extension is actually for a future version of MediaWiki that's still in development, so it can't be installed. I'm still working on installing some of the other complex extensions. One thing I wanted to note about the dismissable sitenotice extension was that I've done some of my own work on it and discovered a way that does not require you to increase the sitenotice count after editing it. So you guys won't ever need to touch MediaWiki:Sitenotice id ever again. :) --Jake 13:22, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
OK, cool. There is a RSS extension then as our Twitter feed relied on it on both Wikia and ShoutWiki, not sure of the correct name for it then. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Oh, and bureaucrats should be assigned CheckUser too. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Also need CharInsert. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:43, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Just wondering how installing the extensions is coming along. Also, WebChat doesn't work properly. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:41, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm working on them now. What's the chat channel name? I have the settings set up like this at the moment:
$wgWebChatServer  = 'irc://irc.shoutwiki.com/wikisimpsons';
$wgWebChatChannel = '#wikisimpsons';
$wgWebChatClient = 'Mibbit';

--Jake 15:45, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Try changing the server to just irc.shoutwiki.com see if that works. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:51, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
It works! --Jake 15:55, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

OK, I would also like WikiForum too please. On another note, when will you have a chance to move the forum to the domain? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Did you want to have that wiki forum set up or one using a real forum system set up at http://simpsonswiki.net/forum/? Either way, it shouldn't take long. Also, I believe all extensions are installed except for Monaco. :) --Jake 18:08, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
By real forum, you mean our zetaboards forum? if so, could we have both? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:09, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Not ZetaBoards, as that isn't independent. Something like MyBB. And yes, we can do both. I was just concerned that one would overpower the other. I'll start with the WikiForum, since that one is more simple. --Jake 18:13, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and the poll extension doesn't seem to work (as seen on the main page) and I think the RSS extension is the wrong one (trying to find out which one ShoutWiki used). ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:17, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Blog namespace

We have a Blog namespace. Could you make this a namespace so it doesn't add to article count. Also, the Simpsons Wiki namespace, should a bot be able to move them all to the new namespace? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:08, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I may need the code from ShoutWiki to be able to exclude certain namespaces from the edit count. Also, it turns out that MediaWiki does have a maintenance script to resolve namespace issues, so it's all sorted out now. --Jake 15:31, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Just asked a staff member if he can find the code out. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:55, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Ok, I'm rebuilding the images right now, so hopefully we'll start seeing them soon if nothing is wrong. --Jake 16:17, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Rollback

Need rollback rights added, with the added ability of being able to rename images too. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Just making sure how I set it up was to your liking. --Jake 15:45, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
All seems fine to me. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:55, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Uploading images

Hi, I just got an error when uploading an image. The error is: Could not rename file "/tmp/phpfurMNF" to "public/8/8e/M.C._Safety_and_Caution_Crew.png". Any ideas? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:53, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Also noticed with the <code> and <pre> as well as the css pages that the text in them is extra small. Can this be fixed? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:55, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Try again now. I believe I've fixed it. :) --Jake 17:56, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Still doesn't work. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 18:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Slightly different error: Could not rename file "/tmp/phpvXXApE" to "public/8/8e/M.C._Safety_and_Caution_Crew.png". ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:08, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
I've tried uploading an avatar. Doesn't work as well. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 18:13, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I've tried updating the permissions recursively for all image folders. Let me know if there are still problems. :) --Jake 18:18, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
