jacky !tell [tantek] https://chat.indieweb.org/meta/2018-12-28/1545968643986000 looks like an issue with the Wiki?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
Loqi [[relapse]] Just tried to create an account on the microformats.org/wiki but it uses reCAPTCHA v1 for account creation and that's shut down.

gRegorLove Yeah, that's a known issue. We really need to upgrade MediaWiki
#
aaronpk The concept of upgrading mediawiki sets off a whole chain of events
#
aaronpk we basically have to set up a new server from scratch, install the latest everything, then import the content into the new server from a MW dump
#
KartikPrabhu which is why it should be done? maybe in a subdomain for starters?
#
aaronpk and likely means losing the custom theme
#
aaronpk Wordpress too
#
KartikPrabhu oh boy!
#
aaronpk I do technically have time to do this in the next week, but it's like a 2-3 day project
#
KartikPrabhu aaronpk: maybe setting up a subdomain could help with a new version that community people could help out with would be a good start?
#
aaronpk The most helpful thing would be for people to test out mediawiki and Wordpress exports and imports in an isolated environment to test out what plugins and versions of everything is needed and how to do that
#
aaronpk The server itself is useless because it's running too old versions of everything (Ubuntu is too old to install new PHP, etc)
#
aaronpk sknebel made a good start on the MW side of things by setting up that mirror
#
jacky sounds like a plan!
#
jacky TIL about http://microformats.org/wiki/Special:Export/Main_Page
#
gRegorLove I did some documenting on the plugins: http://microformats.org/wiki/mediawiki_customization#Upgrade_MediaWiki
#
gRegorLove I think this will fix the Special:Version page: https://github.com/gRegorLove/mediawiki-entry-title-override/commit/953d33d75c524c7624a9148925af50f08fe2fe50

ramin definitely worth the effort. Very encouraging for interested people coming to that web evolution/revolution page and stuff is working properly :)
#
[tantek] good find gRegorLove. I'm willing to try it

#
[tantek] close gRegorLove. You gave me the clue needed to fix it. Turns out there was one more extension with angle brackets in the extension, *and* the actual file that needed editing was OverrideEntryTitle.i18n.php
#
[tantek] so http://microformats.org/wiki/Special:Version is now fixed! (now to commit the hotfixes to GH 😂)
#
Loqi microformats community
#
gRegorLove Ah, cool. Page looks better!
