20:00 🔗 BFeely has joined #wikiteam
20:01 🔗 BFeely Hello. Anybody here?
20:02 🔗 behind_yo why?
20:02 🔗 BFeely Just wanted to suggest a wiki that should have high priority.
20:02 🔗 BFeely It's listed on WikiApiary as https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/WOT_Wiki
20:02 🔗 BFeely Its homepage at https://www.mywot.com/wiki/Main_Page
20:03 🔗 BFeely A disgruntled individual recently signed up for WOT and vandalized almost all the pages. I went through the history (I am a member there) and restored them all one at a time.
20:06 🔗 behind_yo vandalism is part of wikis
20:06 🔗 behind_yo why should it have higher prio? than e.g. a wiki that will cease to exist in x months?
20:07 🔗 behind_yo why not motivate the wiki admin to install some vandalism tools?
20:10 🔗 behind_yo BFeely I may be too harsh now? :-( don't misunderstand, just playing devil's advocate
20:12 🔗 BFeely One thing about WOT is that their MediaWiki instance uses WOT's account system for authentication. Maybe I will suggest that editing privileges only be given to users above a certain activity level. The vandal was a newly registered user and not gained any activity score.
20:13 🔗 behind_yo if the admin has the tools, he can mass delete also edits
20:13 🔗 * behind_yo sees no problems, as long as you have an active admin ;-)
20:13 🔗 behind_yo is now known as Erkan
20:14 🔗 BFeely Not even sure who is responsible for administering the wiki on WOT. They haven't even had a CEO in the past few months, and even on the forums it often takes several hours for moderation to occur.
20:15 🔗 kyan I tried dumping it with python dumpgenerator.py https://www.mywot.com --xml --images and it fails with an error message Unsupported wiki. Wiki engines supported are: MediaWiki
20:15 🔗 kyan It seems like their api.php is broken
20:16 🔗 kyan Aha: https://www.mywot.com/w/api.php
20:17 🔗 Start_ is now known as Start
20:18 🔗 BFeely Thanks kyan. I was about to do so myself.
20:18 🔗 kyan Don't thank me yet, I'm getting an error message http://pastebin.com/wHXifvA7
20:19 🔗 kyan I assume I'm doing something wrong
20:20 🔗 kyan I put it into archivebot
20:21 🔗 Erkan no matter what, I'd get hold of the admin first, any spammer/vandalizer will only make trouble in the future
20:22 🔗 BFeely I already alerted the closest thing to the admin I know about. He terminated the user's account and the wiki has been quiet the past week.
20:34 🔗 BFeely has quit IRC (Quit: Page closed)
21:30 🔗 pir^2 has joined #wikiteam
21:30 🔗 pir^2 Erkan - should be fixed, try git pull origin master
21:30 🔗 pir^2 Wait, are you the same Erkan as on Wikiversity?
21:31 🔗 Erkan I am guilty
21:32 🔗 pir^2 Does the dumpgenerator work now?
21:33 🔗 pir^2 @kyan
21:33 🔗 kyan I'll try it
21:33 🔗 pir^2 that bug was in master for a week and nobody reported it?!
21:34 🔗 pir^2 (BTW I introduced it in the first place, while trying to fix another bug)
21:34 🔗 kyan Seems to be working, but getting a warning:
21:34 🔗 kyan ./Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:79: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.
21:35 🔗 Erkan pir^2 I guess then I know you too from WV ?
21:35 🔗 kyan Failed with an error message:
21:35 🔗 kyan http://pastebin.com/XCdJahHS
21:35 🔗 pir^2 That's unrelated, kyan, ... oh, let me see (re: pastebin error)
21:35 🔗 pir^2 (the warning about SSL was unrelated)
21:35 🔗 kyan Ah, cool
21:36 🔗 pir^2 What happens if you resume?
21:36 🔗 pir^2 Erkan - well, not WV specifically, but Wikimedia in general
21:37 🔗 Erkan pir^2 ok, nice to meet you
21:37 🔗 Erkan wiki world is so small
21:38 🔗 pir^2 although I'm pretty sure I did talk to you in freenode #wikiversity once or twice
21:38 🔗 kyan Not sure if I did it correctly: http://pastebin.com/814SvaHk
21:38 🔗 pir^2 wow, that's weird kyan, looks like an HTTP server error
21:39 🔗 kyan Ah! Resuming a second time (rerunning that command) is working
21:40 🔗 pir^2 There's a bug like "auto-resume on trivial errors"
21:40 🔗 kyan Failed after a little while again with Export from 'https://www.mywot.com/w/index.php' did not return anything., resuming again is working again
21:41 🔗 pir^2 https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam/issues/242 - https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam/issues/33
21:42 🔗 pir^2 Nemo or I will probably fix that eventually. Unless someone else submits a pull request first
22:04 🔗 pir^2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 370 seconds)
