Hello,
The CoC committee had a meeting with four members out of five (Lucie, Tony,
Tonina, and Amir were at Wikimania and MusikAnimal wasn't present). These
notes are the public outcomes of the meeting.
* The committee chose Amir as the chair (Amir requested to be the table but
it got rejected)
* The committee is currently composing the anonymized report of its cases
and will be published soon.
* The committee soon will decide on the two amendments currently under
discussion. Feel free to comment on these two:
** Public logging of bans:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Uikcu1emvmw6e4z8
** Modifications on the appeal process:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Uay0vz6no8ayac3m
* The committee is willing to introduce a new internal role which for lack
of better term, we call it secretary for now. The role's main
responsibility is to help the committee on organizational bookkeeping. Like
reports, documentation of cases, etc.
* At the end, the committee wants to remind people that its role is
reactionary and we won't interfere when there's no report. If you see a
behaviour you find unacceptable, stand up and send us a report and don't
wait for the committee to jump in.
Regards,
Amir on behalf of the committee
I'm trying to reduce the size of a large text table in one of our mediawikis.
I ran the maintenance script deleteOldRevisions.php, but after I was done the text table was still
the same size.
What am I misunderstanding regarding the procedure ? What does this indicate ?
thanks,
Lori
Hello @all,
I have a Problem with a custom Design of a Wiki. If this here is not the
right place for me to ask, please apologize.
We have a Website that uses a Design with a sticky Toolbar on top of the
page. Integration is fine but if you click on a link inside the Page
Navigation to reach some Anchor point the page jumps to high because it
does not know there is this sticky Toolbar and part of the Wiki Text is
hidden behind.
Could anybody give an advice how to tell the Wiki to leave a Space of maybe
100px to the top of the page when jumping? Or any other helpful Idea?
Kind Regards
Martin
Hi,
A new episode of the MediaWiki podcast "Between the Brackets" has been
released: this one is a conversation with Lucas Billett, who has managed
the wiki at his company, Ingredion, since 2009. You can hear the episode

Hi at all,
whenever I try to re-request a password MediaWiki tells me that I have
to wait another 24 hours until I can do this.
My understanding is that $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle [0] is there to help
be control this behaviour. No matter what I set to this parameter, even
"false" I am still being asked to wait for 24 hours.
I am using redis for caching. My theory is that you need memcached for
this to work and if memcached is not present MediaWiki enforces a day,
no matter what. Is this about right or is there something else at play?
Bonus question: Is there a another way to change this 24 hours period?
Probably not but hope dies last. :)
Thanks for your time.
Cheers, Karsten
