This package provides the components of a generalized labeling service for MediaWiki. There are two primary components, a user script to be used on MediaWiki and a flask server for the gadget to converse with.
The flask server is intended to be hosted by a web server, but a dev server can be started locally with
wikilabels dev_server
Installation will require some additional packages to be available.
sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-all postgresql libffi-dev npm g++ python3-dev libmemcached-dev
You'll need to create a wikilabels user and database. Here's a sequence of
commands that works on a fresh install of postgres (note that sudo rights
will be required).
Create a wikilabels user
$ sudo useradd wikilabels
Switch to postgres user to run commands
$ sudo su postgres
$ psql
postgres=# CREATE USER wikilabels WITH PASSWORD 'something secure';
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE wikilabels;
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE wikilabels to wikilabels;
postgres=# \q
$ exit
Switch to wikilabels user to load schema
$ sudo su wikilabels
$ psql
Copy-paste config/schema.sql into the command prompt.
Optionally, you can also load sample data into the database by copy-pasting config/schema-testdata.sql into the command prompt
$ npm install codemirror jquery oojs oojs-ui strftime yamljs
$ wikilabels dev_server --config config-localdev.yaml
- Go to one of the js subpages of your user page. You can choose a page such as these:
- meta:User:
<Name>/global.js, which will be loaded in all wikis, in all skins - meta:User:
<Name>/common.js, which will be loaded only on Meta-wiki, in all skins - meta:User:
<Name>/vector.js, which will be loaded only on Meta-wiki, in the vector skin
- Copy the following to the page you have chosen:
// [[File:User:EpochFail/WikiLabels.js]] (workaround for [[phab:T35355]])
mw.loader.load( '//labels.wmflabs.org/gadget/loader.js' );- Clear the cache of your browser.
This will import a live copy of the javascript.
