[00:19:51] I like that one 😄 [00:21:03] [1/2] I like the boasting about nothing. [00:21:03] [2/2] I made a page full of those too. Just a bit of banter [00:39:06] relatable! [05:55:50] [1/2] this is the thing [[w:Not Here to Please You]] [05:55:50] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Here_to_Please_You [05:55:50] [2/2] I was pleasantly surprised that the rip I had on my hard drive since 2009 is "fuller" than whatever I could find on SLSK previous summer [05:55:51]

[19:59:11] dev wiki is supposed to be such but is underdeveloped, basically [20:01:22] as I proposed before - make a number of standard template in much simpler manner, like Fandom's default templates (they migrate here as well and people have no problems), and recreate most popular Wikipedia templates in PI + suggest WP restyling snippet for PI [20:02:11] you maybe remember there used to be Templates Wiki - it got merged into Dev Wiki [20:04:47] rn it has same good ol' Lua infoboxes, so newbies step on the same rakes hoping for better solution on a Miraheze based wiki [20:09:46] like, I'm 99% sure that 70% of Miraheze wikis don't need mbox ... [20:10:07] or Lua based documentation template [20:10:44] experienced admins can go absolutely bonkers, ofc [20:17:33] I’d agree, or maybe wikitext based templates for stuff like MBox [20:48:44] @rhinosf1 https://x.com/MrHarryCole/status/1749888647946518539 [20:48:45] I was thinking about a Template Wiki where simple templates were posted, from where our users could copy as much as they want, without needing LUA etc. And where they in all ease can alter the values they need specifically. [20:50:26] @paladox: oh [20:50:28] Intresting [20:55:59] That’s kinda what Dev wiki is meant to be [20:56:06] It’s just underdeveloped [20:56:47] [1/2] Ohw... Hahaha [20:56:47] [2/2] So I could just make some templates on there, or what? [21:02:01] I will look into that in a few days [21:02:06] Thanks [21:18:19] I just got an idea for a great wiki ARG: written from the perspective of a Big Brother-esque figure about a fictional internet with exactly 17 websites that becomes more corrupted as you venture into its content; eventually, there's a big reveal that the wiki is an illusion and that you, the reader, have been corrupted so much that you can't trust your own memories [21:18:58] my new game idea - take a shot on every logout [21:19:15] that's 3 for me today [21:19:19] /j [21:19:36] good night 💤 [21:21:57] Actually, that gives me an idea for the ARG: when the reader gets close to solving the mystery, do a fake "logout" and send them back to the main page with everything significantly different than before (not logging them out, obviously) [21:24:08] [1/2] Never heard this before [21:24:08] [2/2] # cough DPRK [21:24:11] But I like that [21:24:49] A virtual Break-out room 😄 where the walls keep changing. [21:25:22] Putting in random pages [21:31:12] It should be possible by using custom cookies; I'm not certain such cookies are allowed, but there's nothing in the ToU explicitly prohibiting them [21:51:52] The cookies are for tracking stuff across pages? [21:55:04] What about inserting data into the url with parameters to read with JS [21:55:19] Ie ?stage=ect [21:55:35] Could also allow to kinda save and share progress [21:55:40] Easier to cheat [22:12:43] I'm planning on having dynamic page loading for the wiki's content; that way, coding separate versions of each page will be easier [22:13:00] So having cookies might be a requirement [22:13:25] How so? [22:38:26] Hmm, I wonder what would happen if I could live this out in real life. [22:38:28] https://tenor.com/view/dark-draw-yuma-and-astral-yugioh-zexal-gif-22556823
