[05:02:16] mork lee birthday 8/2. celebrate it yall [05:04:05] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/870894562166599680/image0.gif [09:23:23] I don't know who he is [09:34:36] That's better. [10:38:24] Dark may I ask you if Mira might consider to merge old/new accounts? [10:38:46] Hmmmm, that I'm not sure. [10:38:48] Who is Mira? i don't understand [10:39:00] I think he's referring to Miraheze. [10:39:27] Yep [10:41:17] I don't think you can strictly 'merge' accounts without potentially dangerous and ultimately not worth it database work [10:42:01] Oh, ok [10:42:08] that sticker looks great [10:44:02] Okey I thought was mainly by miraheze Policy I never fully understood the technical issues thx 😉 [10:44:36] Pretty sure it's okay/standard to just put on your new profile 'hey guys, I was this user' and cross link them to leave it at that [10:44:56] Easy yep [10:45:00] Obviously as long as it's not circumvention and so on :p [10:45:26] *more easy [10:45:29] @raidarr: it's been done [10:45:39] But normally only from accounts created on import [10:46:01] Fair enough. [10:46:31] Thx to all 🙏 [10:47:14] So not much inherent risk to account merging, then. [10:50:31] It varies [10:50:38] I've seen it fail [10:50:42] But it's fixable [10:50:48] Problem is it locks you out [10:52:14] Bit sensitive then; would you say that import merges are inherently safer as compared to merging two decently wide exposure Miraheze accounts? In other words, just merging what are probably local users is fine, but if it starts going cross wiki (meta, +5 various wikis apiece) then there may be trouble? [10:53:05] Yeah, like merging my account would be quite problematic I'd say [10:53:38] Yes [10:53:56] An account on a single wiki with no organic edits is much less risk than Reception123's account [10:54:49] Makes good sense, then. [10:55:55] It's slowly getting less dangerous [10:55:59] Also depends on the wiki [10:57:02] Certain extensions are really bad at handling renames & merges (including CreateWiki tbh) but one that's just got core and default extensions will be less risky [10:57:12] yeah, it's not that terrile but just a bit risky [10:57:17] That's why on some wiki requests it will show your IP as the requestor [11:23:26] About Nonciclopedia, what can you tell me? [11:24:10] Do you use “normal” policy? [11:31:17] I mean that I tried to marge my account (Executive2 to Executive) on Nonciclopedia and I asked for tech support by stewards (here known as assistenti Wiki) they asked me if my account was blocked babbling about technical differences to recover the original account, so I understand now in this offtopic the situation. [11:33:46] So :ThinkingHardMH: thanks again! [11:35:58] 🍏 [12:10:14] @Agent the steward role is known as assistant, asistente in other wikis. What do you think on that translation? [12:38:44] Steward shouldn't be translated [15:57:31] Yes. I heard you. But i was only remembering the conversation with Agent [16:01:35] For here known I intended a talk about what stewards may be in other languages… nothing more ,) [16:01:52] *For her known as assistenti [16:04:04] But you were not talking to me… I realized that now 🙂 [16:04:25] that title sounds as if users with that role assist someone else [16:04:34] a higher role [16:05:47] It's a proper noun [16:05:55] You shouldn't translate it [16:09:31] RhinosF1: we're not being serious, just brainstorming something [16:10:57] we won't change any translations, I assure you that [16:11:00] Command sent from Discord by Agent: [16:11:01] ...for now [16:11:05] /s [16:12:55] if Stewards are here "to help the community" then an assistant to others is a good name. And is closer to the function they do 😄 [17:26:37] Yep [19:12:46] RhinosF1: Not sure what you meant in -sre; I cannot even edit test3. 😛 [20:47:58] @R4356th: really? [20:48:09] Why you do loads of techy stuff [21:39:58] Just file an RfC (Request for Crateship) 😆 [22:01:50] I just hope you don't end up repeating yesterday's incident. 🙂 [22:02:23] Oh what am I saying? Of course you won't. :/ [22:03:42] Oh, yes, yesterday's incident. How unfortunate, I really thought they'd be a good fit :(( [22:04:11] now MintyDocs is installed on Miraheze [22:04:34] if anyone wants an easier method to create documentation/manuals of things, that might be useful [22:08:23] And how it works?
