        hah, four results - two are part L, two are really part i
      • brianfreud
        :P
      • ok, I think the chances of "foo part i bar" are fairly 50/50 too, as to it being sentence or part, so in that one particular case, I'll err on the safe side and assume sentence
      • (That means part vi also treated the same way in Norwegian mode mo)
      • alastairp
        heym brianfreud
      • update git
      • --> oggrenamer.py
      • please report bugs, it probably needs a bit of work
      • brianfreud
        will do :)
      • how do I tell it to recursively check a the subdirs of /foo ?
      • alastairp
        for i in foo; do rename $i /dest; done
      • :)
      • brianfreud
        so it'll be renaming them as it submits the puids?
      • brianfreud just wants to submit puids, not rename or move...
      • brianfreud hears echos of warp :D
      • alastairp
        hmmm
      • yes, probably
      • although
      • brianfreud
        I'm looking to run it on post-picard files, so they're already tagged/located where i want them, I just want to be able to post-picard submit puids, as luks' original script did
      • alastairp
        if you just want to submit,
      • run albumidentify.py album/
      • should work on ogg, flac, mp3
      • gatuguroobu
        [08:13] * nikki wonders how many words 2 minutes of speaking would be
      • depends on what language :D
      • nikki
        it depends on a lot of factors
      • this thing needs to be 2 minutes long, but I have no idea how long that would be
      • gatuguroobu
        what thing?
      • nikki
        this thing!
      • gatuguroobu
        :O
      • nikki
        I should have started it ages ago >_<
      • I have 4 days left and I've had 35 so far
      • and I just started it ¬_¬
      • alastairp
        nikki: 1 page / minute
      • typed
      • gatuguroobu
        btw, nikkichan, is it wrong to add our agreed "category:to be reviewed" to all pages on http://mediawiki.musicbrainz.org/Migration_Script ?
      • nikki
        how much fits on a page?
      • gatuguroobu
        eg. ay it needs adding to all pages
      • on that page
      • iiuc, that page details course of action during migration
      • nikki forgot to add it
      • nikki adds it now
      • it will know to do category:user -> use:namefoo, i like tha
      • t
      • nikki :D takk
      • can you think of anything else?
      • alastairp
        nikki: 12pt times new roman :)
      • gatuguroobu
        we have a page "MusicBrain" ??
      • looks bork
      • and things like ReleaseUrlRelationship, it looks wrong "Release URL Relationship", I'd add a hyphen between release and url, what do you think of that?
      • nikki
        gatuguroobu: I've been editing that page for a few days, so I've already added all the things I've seen so far :P
      • gatuguroobu
        and i think MBChatLogger should stay MBChatLogger, it's not got a space nit's name
      • nikki
        and yeah, I'd add one too
      • oh! I noticed on the eee earlier that sortname sometimes turns into Sortname and somethings to Sort Name
      • warp
        nikki: just time yourself?
      • gatuguroobu
        so can i edit it too? i don't want to be told not to fuck sstuff up
      • nikki
        it's a wiki, sure :P
      • gatuguroobu
        \o/
      • are you finished editing, no edit conflicts
      • nikki
        warp: well, yeah, but I don't like speaking so I'd rather say it as few times as possible :)
      • but the only other way I can guess it by number of words
      • but I have noooo idea how many it would be
      • gatuguroobu: yes, I'm done
      • gatuguroobu
        one thing agaisnt non CamelCase: when i see title name "How To Add Disc IDs" i automatically get the reactino to turn it into "How to Add Disc IDs"
      • XD
      • guess case the wiki, loi
      • is musicbrain a typo?
      • nikki
        it's one of the pages I would delete
      • gatuguroobu
        we'll look at it when we go trough thr pages then
      • nikki
        I think a number of pages were created simply 'cause usemod/moinmoin turned camel case stuff into links
      • gatuguroobu
        warp: is it OC ReMicx or OCReMix?
      • hmmmm
      • nikki
        it has a space, I looked it up
      • gatuguroobu
        will be aesoem to finally fix that
      • nikki :D
      • warp
        oh, it's a catcat in disguise.
      • gatuguroobu
        :D
      • who you think it was?
      • Nathan Explosion?
      • :D
      • MBChatLogger
        I hate the evil empire
      • warp
        i think freenode should charge 10 EUR to change nicks, like microsoft does.
      • gatuguroobu
        no
      • alastairp
        they do?
      • gatuguroobu
        besides i didn't do it, the client did because something logged me out, and i haven't been arshed to /nick Catgroove
      • and i can't be catcat, because Herr Eple is catcat
      • MBChatLogger
        I hate the evil empire
      • warp
        alastairp: on xbox live arcade, if you want to change the gamertag of your account, that costs 800 microsoft points.
      • nikki
        be catcatcat :P
      • gatuguroobu
        nah
      • alastairp
        warp: heh, right
      • gatuguroobu
        better to re-use old nicks than to keep creating new ones
      • TRM ID -> TRM-ID ?
      • nikki
        no
      • gatuguroobu
        okidoki
      • should actual HowTo's be How To, How-To, HowTo or How-to ?
      • aCiD2 joined the channel
      • it's like "ToDo"
      • nikki would use 'how to' and 'to do' in normal english, so would do the same in the wiki
      • gatuguroobu would use HowTo or How-To for these *guides*
      • well :)
      • we can poll people what they think later if need be
      • MClemo
        how-to do something... I'm with nikki
      • gatuguroobu
        ok, so i was wondering, about using namespaces. when and if do we do that? the main positive bit is that a search can be set to spesifically include, exlude or exclusivly search in either namespace
      • all namespaces hare two fold, pair numbers are namespace, the oddnumber following is the talkpages for thaat namespace type
      • eh main, main_talk, users, user_talk
      • eg*
      • nikki
        I think official docs should be in their own namespace and I think luks agreed
      • but I'm not sure exactly what that includes
      • gatuguroobu
        so i was thinking that Official styleguidelines (official docs, that?) coudl be in its own namespace
      • nikki wonders if luks is around
      • nikki
        well docs could mean the official stuff like wikidocs stuff
      • gatuguroobu
        yes
      • nikki
        or it could be the official style guidelines, or both
      • gatuguroobu
        oh yes
      • luks
        morning
      • nikki
        hey!
      • do you remember when we mentioned a different namespace for official docs?
      • gatuguroobu
        i think offical styleguidelines coudl benefit, because then we couldsay "search in that namespace" and then users wouldnt get lots of unrelated unoffical discussion and proposals
      • luks
        hm, no
      • gatuguroobu
      • nikki
        well anyway, what would you put in another namespace?
      • luks
        me? just official docs
      • but the namespace should be searchable by default
      • nikki
        is that wikidocs stuff, style guideline stuff or both?
      • luks
        hm
      • gatuguroobu
        there are of course categories, and they should be in those too, but if in a namespace, users can easily do a search specifically *in* that namespace, e.g. a search for "volume" in OSG namespace, would probably only yield actual volume styleguide references rather than lots of stuff just talking about it. <-
      • luks
        I'd say wikidocs
      • and all style guidelines should be wikidocs
      • gatuguroobu
        hmm
      • wikidocs, are the transclusioned pages?
      • nikki
        yes
      • gatuguroobu
        well yes thne i agree
      • very much
      • ok, what are we gonna do with the Help: namespace, it's a default, but unles we populate it with usefull data it's kinda pointless
      • luks
        maybe Help: could be the wikidocs namespace
      • gatuguroobu always found that the wikipedia search was confusing, didn't understadn what all the options where before i read the mediawiki pages now
      • gatuguroobu
        hmmmm
      • are all wikidocs typical "help" pages?
      • nikki
        I don't think so
      • gatuguroobu
        they seem t obe documentation. more "manual" than "help"
      • category Man:
      • :D
      • luks
        heh
      • gatuguroobu
        that would be awesome
      • actual help, help pages, would be the "how do id othi" and FAQ type pages
      • erh, "how to foo"
      • move those to help and have one for wikidocs, i'd say
      • luks
        I think "how to foo" should be regular pages in the main namespace
      • gatuguroobu
        and link the two extensivly
      • nikki
        http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Products for example is more an info page than anything
