[00:21:32] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern, replying to rodejong> That’s the second person I’ve heard say that but I can’t think of where that’d come from
[00:21:57] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> Or, something similar, anyway
[00:22:17] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> One of the hall monitors at my school said he read somewhere that the word for “flood” was a bunch of people on a boat.
[00:22:53] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> but..i cant for the life of me figure out where that might be from
[00:24:29] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> Oh.. I think I know why..
[00:24:41] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> 船.. (the modern mandarin word for boat) has what looks like 八口(eight mouths) to the right..
[00:26:30] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> that might be why some people think that
[00:26:30] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> [1/2] but that’s not the case because
[00:26:30] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> [2/2] the left side is 舟(radical for boats) and the right side is 㕣(hint for pronunciation... at least in old chinese anyway)
[00:28:29] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> A website perpetuating the myth: http://www.bibleprobe.com/chinese.htm
[00:31:24] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> I’ve done some more digging and it appears everyone who talking about eight people on a boat are people pushing creationism.
[00:32:04] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> Which... is hilarious because China would not have been Christian.
[00:34:13] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> [1/2] I see this page, and I want to laugh and cringe.

[00:34:13] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rodejong> Yeah, that's what I remember.
[00:34:29] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rodejong> Amazing. Thanks
[00:36:10] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern, replying to luna.nightfern> because its 舟 + 㕣, not 八口
[00:37:05] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rodejong> Ah
[00:37:37] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rodejong> I remember it from several decades ago
[00:48:38] <MirahezeRelay>	 <prof.ryanmaibam, replying to rhinosf1> To where?
[01:18:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <ultracane1997> To sre@miraheze.org
[01:19:05] <MirahezeRelay>	 <ultracane1997> I'm pretty sure is the intended email address.
[02:20:13] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> Half of the Miraheze problems discussed on this server are your everyday wiki issues.  The other half?  ||Infoboxes beloathed.||
[02:22:11] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x, replying to luna.nightfern> https://tenor.com/view/so-true-gif-24068595
[02:26:30] <MirahezeRelay>	 <songngu.xyz, replying to luna.nightfern> riel
[02:46:15] <MirahezeRelay>	 <lichmaster98, replying to luna.nightfern> Still better than half the issues being lua
[02:55:23] <MirahezeRelay>	 <luna.nightfern> lol
[15:25:50] <MirahezeRelay>	 <agentisai> @bluemoon0332 is it okay if I hijack your GIA RfC and rewrite it? I feel like the current format might lead to voting fatigue
[15:26:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> edit at will
[15:30:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> [1/2] POV: You're a wiki creator
[15:30:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1214233572920135680/image.png?ex=65f85e23&is=65e5e923&hm=81613ad1c1ce3f3bff4932f66ce709aa38e417b9b90626b887cb60853f783927&
[15:31:15] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> at least the "someone commented" notifs don't send email by default
[15:39:08] <MirahezeRelay>	 <songngu.xyz> at least now your life isn't going to be that boring
[15:41:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> Not that it was that boring to begin with 😂
[16:19:59] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0, replying to bluemoon0332> once had 97 on there
[16:20:03] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> yeeps
[16:20:25] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> you go through the queue of 125 requests and that’s what happens
[18:05:21] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rodejong> LOL
[19:35:44] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam> Holy crap, what happened with the wiki requests? There's been A TON over just the past few days
[19:35:59] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> we have no idea
[19:36:10] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> idk
[19:36:11] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> did Tardis Wiki started another wave?
[19:36:32] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam> At least I'm glad to see Miraheze get so much attention, especially compared to 2016-2018 hahaha
[19:37:56] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> oh definitely lol
[19:38:03] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> I discovered Miraheze only in 2021
[19:38:18] <MirahezeRelay>	 <songngu.xyz, replying to theoneandonlylegroom> same
[19:38:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam> I discovered Miraheze in 2016 when a friend of mine made a wiki for a community song contest 😅
[19:38:44] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0, replying to titowam> WC requests?
[19:38:54] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> or wiki reqs itself
[19:39:00] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam, replying to bwm0> Wiki creation requests
[19:39:02] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> I haven’t checked the queue in half a day
[19:39:05] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> oh
[19:39:06] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> brilliant
[19:39:14] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam> My guess is that theres like 50 of them over the past 48 hours hahahaha
[19:39:17] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> more work!
[19:39:23] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam> a:peepoCheer:
[19:39:25] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0, replying to titowam> ehhh no
[19:39:29] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> 75 minimum
[19:39:31] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332, replying to bwm0> unpaid work too, the best kind!
[19:39:33] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> bordering on 100
[19:39:37] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0, replying to bluemoon0332> 🙂
[19:39:41] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam> Hoooooly
[19:39:48] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> eh it’s fine
[19:39:52] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> but yikes
[19:40:07] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> i did 123 requests on saturday and did not want to do that many 48 hours later
[19:40:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam> Hopefully the wikis will be active and won't disappear within a few months due to inactivity :shrug
[19:40:39] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bwm0> Unfortunately that is a common occurrence
[19:40:41] <MirahezeRelay>	 <titowam, replying to bwm0> You're a real fighter, hang in there haha ❤️
[19:41:06] <MirahezeRelay>	 <songngu.xyz> There are some more WC perms requests going on atm
[21:01:37] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> several yes
[21:01:57] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name, replying to titowam> I'm thinking maybe something happened on Fandom or someone popular talked about Miraheze or something because a bunch of new people joined to request wikis
[21:02:04] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> Record breaking even for the dark age
[21:02:54] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> Mira is definately getting more traction while fandom continues to alienate editors and wiki managers
[21:03:06] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name, replying to raidarr> Yeah
[21:23:28] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rodejong> Perhaps we should spam on all social media
[21:23:36] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rodejong> 😄
[21:23:54] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> but fr, what's happened
[21:24:20] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> I can only think of Tardis Wiki but I haven't stumbled on some kind of news entry of video blog about it
[21:29:02] <MirahezeRelay>	 <tali64, replying to theoneandonlylegroom> The "Stop using Fandom" video by mossbag definitely contributed to the influx of wiki requests back in November 2023
[21:29:21] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> that's ofc
[21:29:34] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> I'm part of the wiki mentioned in it after all lol
[21:29:57] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> I mean Tardis Wiki going indie is the ltest biggest thing
[21:30:03] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> Oh yeah
[21:30:28] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev, replying to theoneandonlylegroom> Famous person :pepehypers:
[21:30:39] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> Warcraft Wiki migrating second time didn't seem to get as much coverage as MCW or Hollow Knight Wiki
[21:30:48] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> the overall trend to go indie and probably not too shabby seo is likely a massive contributor to mira's traction
[21:31:10] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> I'd say no better time to get a new wc crew but in practice there will be a consistency gap as new and perhaps new-old creators get mixed in
[21:31:28] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> Amen
[21:31:41] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> man, I just was suffering in semi official game server trying to exaplin to main mod why two fandom owned wikis both claiming to be official are bad
[21:32:11] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> That one brick wall meme seems applicable here
[21:32:20] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> https://tenor.com/view/talking-wall-gif-5021467
[21:32:30] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> I'm just walking around and begging IP owners to at least strip OfFiCiAl WiKi badges lol
[21:32:45] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> doubt they'll care for DMCA
[21:33:05] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> it's good to have new wcs as it might highlight potential candidates to get more involved and partake in functions like GS and perhaps eventually steward as well, a role that will need more faces with growth
[21:33:16] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> more techies is a given but, an ever present issue anyway
[21:35:06] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> If I can butcher my current IRL time sink(which should be over by ~17th) I am definitely interested in starting to learn about the software dev side and contributing here and there to stuff like CreateWiki features
[21:35:25] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> Can’t do anything too complicated obviously I’m stoopid
[21:36:04] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> one big piece of assistance that's always had limited engagement is just testing really, especially around upgrades and regarding extension ins and outs
[21:36:29] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> Really? Didn’t know that
[21:36:54] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> oooh testing
[21:36:57] <MirahezeRelay>	 <theoneandonlylegroom> my behated
[21:37:09] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> I do have an account on mirabeta(fuck betaheze) so if needed I can bully some stuff
[21:37:24] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> it's a very good thing to do especially around upgrade season
[21:37:42] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> Do we have a checklist?
[21:38:00] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> not sure that formal ones exist/ed, sre might be able to advise
[22:30:46] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> For anyone who uses/d FreeDNS for subdomain was it a good experience?
[23:24:10] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> Just saw this on let’s encrypts page. Interesting https://youtu.be/Xe1TZaElTAs?si=3ZJpUm0_LzncYGEG
