ugh apparently my old mediawiki install was old enough that when I try to load it into the new version of mediawiki, it says it's too old to upgrade

so I guess I'm upgrading to 1.38.7 first

a version so old that wikimedia doesn't show it on the download page anymore, just tells you to upgrade

I'M TRYING

okay it's working now. I just need to remember how I fucked mediawiki into not allowing registrations, so I can re-enable it and then make my new user an admin

ahh:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

@foone I have those same settings in my internal wiki but then I'm using SAML for SSO. It was a pain to set up

@TerrorBite oh yeah I can see how that'd easily be a whole thing.

I just needed one account so I made one with a random password in my manager, rather than deal with the existing stuff

@foone Browsers see every subdomain in my network as one big website, so the built in password managers will only save one password for everything. So I said fuck it, might as well actually have one password for everything.

I'm not aware of any way to tell Firefox to add additional entries to its internal copy of the Public Suffix List

@foone ok I misspoke, I think you can save different passwords per subdomain. It's just that it'll suggest all of those for every subdomain. Apparently the trick is to set signon.includeOtherSubdomainsInLookup to false
