| 06:05:18 | <Nemo_bis> | arkiver, do you mean actually hosted by fandom? or wikifarms only? |
| 06:11:48 | <Nemo_bis> | there are many with odd shorturls andother webserver tricks like pokechu22 mentioned, some of which make the apis unusable (this is more common with old versions because innew releases many ui features fail miserably when the api is broken); then there are a few which customise the code to break export or specific api calls; and for very old wikis without an api we sometimes rum into broken skins which |
| 06:11:54 | <Nemo_bis> | made our screenscraping fail due to unbalanced html tags and so on, hundreds of those probably; wikihow and tmbg also good examples of problematic wikis as mentioned above, while fandom/wikia got much closer to mainline mediawiki thanks to efforts by ashley and mszabo |
| 06:12:19 | <Nemo_bis> | the imslp wiki is one where we still lack proper dumps i think |
| 08:31:38 | <@arkiver> | pokechu22: powdertoy.co.uk doesn't even have the siteinfo public https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&format=json |
| 08:32:08 | <@arkiver> | there is also no generator in the HTML of the page |
| 08:32:31 | <@arkiver> | this may be too far removed from mediawiki to be considered mediawiki |
| 08:32:57 | <@arkiver> | Nemo_bis: thank you |
| 08:33:34 | <@arkiver> | that being said though, i think we may be able to support powdertoy.co.uk |
| 08:33:40 | <@arkiver> | let me see |
| 08:35:56 | <@arkiver> | actually this gives me various unsupported cases pokechu22 that i think we may see on other wikis too, thank you |
| 08:36:17 | <@arkiver> | for example the version parameter in the load.php URLs is 7 characters long instead of the usual 5 |
| 08:39:23 | <@arkiver> | ah i see https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Special:AllPages.html is blocked too |
| 08:39:31 | <@arkiver> | but that's fine, we have crawling supported here |
| 08:41:07 | <@arkiver> | very interesting, the meta=siteinfo information is in the startup load.php module and this nicely shows "wgArticlePath": "/Wiki/W/$1.html" |
| 08:41:49 | <@arkiver> | yeah we can support this |
| 08:42:19 | <@arkiver> | pokechu22: Nemo_bis: the powdertoy.co.uk gave a lot of useful information, are there other cases you can think of that are "different than normal"? |
