[00:03:58] It only took 2 seconds, and the needle was painless. [00:10:46] I like to think that the reason why there are “Do not attempt” messages, is because of Florida Man [00:40:28] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/925186402344382524/cats.jpg [00:40:44] What happened to this wiki request? [00:41:27] Is there a way for a wiki creator to 'delete' a wiki request? @Agent [00:41:54] It was the request of that guy who was looking to create a Spanish version of the crappy games wiki [00:41:59] YellowFrogger: no, there is not but there's a way to suppress it [00:42:07] let me check [00:42:34] ? [00:43:20] YellowFrogger: check again [00:43:47] Have you 'recovered' the request? [00:43:54] dmehus, Could you check the #cvt channel? You have some messages on there. [00:43:56] And why does this happen? [00:45:40] YellowFrogger: seems I suppressed it when I declined it [00:56:47] I want to see does anyone uses MediaWiki as a CMS? [01:00:03] I know it could be in theory, but lack a proper example [01:00:22] MediaWiki is not a CMS :P [01:00:33] just ask the devs who keep having to repeat that [01:00:41] shhhhhhhhh [01:01:00] I mean, you could still use that with a look of hooks and jumps, but I would like to see an actual example [01:01:35] What MW is intended to be used for and what people use it for are surely two different matters :p [01:01:44] honestly I'm considering to use MW for my fansite just because of the convenience of templates, modules and some extensions [01:02:53] I mean, you could use it as a CMS. The argument of "MediaWiki is not a CMS" is commonly invoked when people want to make custom access levels on MediaWiki but not so much for other use cases [01:02:57] The main bone I pick with it having tested it out for a smaller scale website is that it's just pretty darn heavy. [01:03:20] Requires considerable overhead for features that wouldn't necessarily realize their potential. [01:03:43] Tbh, I’ve never really seen Doug online on Discord [01:03:58] I just use MediaWiki from Git to facilitate upgrades/extension installs [01:04:08] I think Wordpress would be better for this case in general, but I don't know if these conveniences I mentioned are even possible [01:04:19] i'm the type of person that likes automation of tasks [01:04:27] Doug used to be online quite a bit more, and more recently has been on more again. [01:04:54] I think Wordpress would probably suffice except for familiarity, and it may be more roundabout to achieve the same things that MW takes as natural paradigms. [01:05:00] Yeah, he used to be the most active user on this server I think [01:05:05] He’s usually idle on discord [01:05:15] And mostly active on IRC [01:05:18] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/925192656341053480/unknown.png [01:05:21] Perhaps you might consider using alternative software instead that doesn't have as much overhead but still has the wiki paradigm [01:05:24] quite active [01:05:26] Wow [01:05:38] what about Drupal [01:05:41] How many messages have I sent? [01:05:41] I'm searching for some nice open source softwares that can achieve that [01:05:50] I always heard about Joomla but never seen anyone using it [01:05:53] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/925192800654471168/unknown.png [01:05:55] wasn't drupal associated with forum software as well [01:06:01] Dam [01:06:05] If so I have an impression, mostly 'meh' [01:06:07] More than I expected [01:06:40] Drupal is another one I never seen being actually used [01:06:41] Was it? I don't remember but it's a CMS [01:06:46] as far as I can see [01:06:49] I've used Drupal before [01:06:56] better than WordPress in some areas [01:07:59] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/925193330403446824/IMG_7290.png [01:08:11] I know WP has some extensions to insert PHP tags on pages, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing (from a security standpoint), even though I'm the only one that's going to be editing the website [01:08:47] my idea was to make a separate MySQL database so I could store the custom data there and query on the page [01:09:19] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/925193665394122782/Screenshot_2021-10-22-14-39-01-88_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.png [01:10:12] yeah, not the best practice but if you're the only one editing the site well, nothing too harmful? [01:10:26] Widgets used to allow you to insert HTML on MediaWiki [01:10:29] not PHP but still [01:11:17] if I used MW on my fansite I would enable rawHTML [01:11:27] and disable account creation [01:12:03] if nothing goes right I will just switch to blogger [01:12:14] I did try making a club-based site for real life business that was based on mediawiki as a crude form of CMS, pretty much the problem is the resource hog for a gain that didn't necessarily sell itself [01:13:07] I just realized I've been proxying through test3 this whole time [01:13:14] hence why I never saw the 502s [01:13:17] ? [01:13:39] You have shell access now or smth? [01:14:03] I should disable it so that I'm not dumbfounded when people report 502s [01:14:27] Cheater >.> [01:14:51] on the bright side, I never get slowdowns :P [01:14:58] my connections are always fast [01:15:50] “added addgroups sysop;” aw man, I wanted free sysop :( [01:16:38] free sysop is free paperwork and expectations tbh [01:16:49] I usually proxy through test3 for that reason also, as things are more stable on the testing server than production... how ironic... the production servers are just bombarded with traffic so get a bit slower. [01:17:13] I don’t speak advanced technology >.> [01:18:39] I don't like to proxy via test3 all the time because I'm worried Miraheze will be down one day completely and when people report it on #general, I'll say "What are you talking about? Meta loads fine for me, in fact, it loads very fast!" [01:19:13] :Tux: [01:19:22] 'meta's smoother than ever, what are you all on about' [01:19:51] that's happened before where a few mw appservers are down and Meta all of a sudden is blazing fast :P [01:19:52] Tux moment [11:32:28] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/743072681057845378/925346120807354389 What the hell is this? [11:32:28] [url] Discord | discord.com [11:50:35] maybe the bot doesn't have to render links from wiki pages? [11:53:08] @Legroom Possibly. [17:19:50] @k6ka your status is amazing [21:32:44] I feel like I'm behind on Meta now >.> [21:33:04] More or less 1-2 days of not quite catching up and now I have an odd 10 pages in particular to read [23:41:21] > ⇐ MirahezeLogbot quit (~MirahezeL@miraheze/bots) Ping timeout: 256 seconds [23:41:21] hmm, that's not good [23:47:55] No worries at all.
