[00:04:36] how to avoid that [03:14:14] Is it possible to have only a select group that can create new pages but guests and signed up users can use the discussion page? [03:15:24] sure [03:15:33] that's how English Wikipedia works [03:19:11] qomp: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_creating_of_all_pages ; there's a special 'createtalk' permission you can grant. [03:53:05] wikipedia lets anyone edit anything [03:54:53] yes, but English Wikipedia forbids article creation to users who are not autoconfirmed [03:55:13] autoconfirmed even [03:56:31] well that didn't come over well lol [03:56:35] `autoconfirmed` [04:50:19] yeah i dont want any users except a select few to make content [04:50:26] the rest can only discuss, guests and confirmed/reg'd [05:00:19] mediawiki may not be the best solution for you then [05:00:46] the default expectation is that everyone can change everything and limitations are introduced only when the thing to be done is hard or unsafe [05:00:59] s/hard/difficult to understand [05:11:46] It'll work [05:11:52] I just have a small group of editors [05:12:02] Anyone can add anything on the discussion page then editors will fix the correct suggestions on the main pages [05:12:13] It's a good place for data management for public front-end [05:24:25] I just need to figure out how to code in these user limitations [05:31:18] I am fairly certain that's not something you can do with stock MediaWiki [09:38:31] Seddon, re discussion about dark modes, here's some terrible CSS that you can think about `[style*="background" i] { background: inherit; }` and `[style*="color" i] { color: inherit; }` [09:38:40] I have no idea if that works [21:33:43] Anyone have experience with setting up adsense auto ads on mediawiki? [21:33:53] I've installed and config'd the adsense extension [21:33:54] no ads anywhere [21:43:41] are you running an adblocker on your browser? [21:44:55] please make that the solution :joy: [21:45:40] no [21:46:17] I need to figure out how to have the header code for auto ads installed [21:46:28] but adding a simplel block of code into a universal header seems difficult for some reason [21:55:22] I think I worked out how to add a hook in localsettings with $wgHooks [21:55:25] Guess I just have to wait to see if they appear [21:59:57] qomp: you may open the developer console of your browser (hit F12) and see if there's any suspicious error there [22:02:20] Also, maybe your skin is not supported. I imagine the extension would set some areas of the skin for ad slots. I doubt they'll just appear in random places of the page [22:02:56] Also check the page as anon. Mmaybe it's not displaying ads for logged-in users [22:08:45] auto ads is meant to exactly inject ads randomly [22:11:33] what could *possibly* go wrong? :-) [22:14:31] Nothing goes wrong for 10s of millions of advertisers [22:15:00] I have about 20 other wordpress sites where it works perfectly. mediawiki has been difficult so far [22:15:21] This one module trying to add a small sidebar ad like it's 2001 [22:16:15] For advertisers it never goes wrong. I was more concerned about publishers and readers, but whatever [22:18:35] Google smart enough to show related ads based on page content [22:18:39] And ads never care about readers
