#
gRegor Well that's silly of them
#

#

#
aaronpk lovely, getting an obscure internal mediawiki error
#
aaronpk ooh i'm doing it in the wrong order...
#
aaronpk hm no, even the CLI update script is throwing that error
#
aaronpk great
barnaby joined the channel
#
aaronpk hm, has something to do with the Auth_remoteuser extension interacting with Vouch
#
aaronpk something changed about the Hooks api...
#
aaronpk now this https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Wwzn2br6gr2a6s17
#
aaronpk they always say upgrades are easy, but then you end up with random config things changing without good documentation

#
[schmarty] wow. at least that thread seems to have a fix
#
aaronpk ok i think we're back
#
[schmarty] oh, it only sort of does.
#
aaronpk home page isn't right
#
[schmarty] it's up, though!
#
[schmarty] haha yeah the "Main Page" default font text in the upper-left corner 😄
#
aaronpk oof, they completely redid how skins are organized now
#
aaronpk just stop changing things come on
#
aaronpk oh no the skin is all mustache templates now
#
aaronpk i don't know how i'm going to add back the little microformats hack
#
[schmarty] oh crud
#
aaronpk maybe there's like a proper way now?

#
aaronpk i wonder if i can just roll back to the old one
#
aaronpk nope haha
#
[schmarty] oh yeah they have notes that this new version of the theme breaks things
#
aaronpk boo
#

#
aaronpk yeah i have no idea how this is going to work
#
[schmarty] this is pretty extreme admintax--
#
Loqi admintax has -1 karma in this channel over the last year (-2 in all channels)
#
aaronpk what is a photo?
#
Loqi https://indieweb.org/Photo
#
aaronpk yeah
#
aaronpk lovely
#
aaronpk i can edit the skin but i don't think i can do the conditional "add mf2 if there isn't mf2 in the wiki content" anymore
#
aaronpk oh the "notitle" extension isn't working either
#
aaronpk https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/LanguageGetMagic removed
#
aaronpk everything changed https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Magic_words
#
aaronpk ok now how did i get the p-summary automatically added before
#
aaronpk ah right the dfn extension
#
aaronpk womp womp https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/ParserBeforeStrip
#
aaronpk ok that one swapped out easily with ParserBeforeInternalParse
#
[schmarty] whew
#
aaronpk so i manually added h-entry and p-name to the mustache template
#
aaronpk but that means it's no longer possible to turn a page into something other than an h-entry, so our event pages are now an h-event inside the h-entry
#
aaronpk but tbh i think that's fine because we switched to events.indieweb.org for those anyway
#
aaronpk e.g. https://indieweb.org/2022/Berlin we should just remove the h-event from the top of that page
#
[schmarty] ahh, yeah. tradeoffs!
#
aaronpk did not expect to spend 2 hours on this this morning
#
aaronpk the microformats wiki should go smoother since it's more a default mediawiki install
#
aaronpk that went much smoother
#
[schmarty] aaronpk++ woo!
#
Loqi aaronpk has 28 karma in this channel over the last year (111 in all channels)
#
aaronpk makes me wonder how many of the extensions we use we could get rid of to make this easier in the future
