[00:00:16] What sort of addnaltioal control? [00:00:26] WikiTide Next [00:01:03] but yeah it occurs to me you can do custom license stuff on miraheze too, at least in theory [00:01:07] I am unsure if it would take off as there already is Miraheze, FANDOM, WikiGG, Shoutwiki and so on [00:01:59] closest comparison would be telepedia really, which itself lies in the distant shadow of miraheze; fandom is a controversial juggernaut, shoutwiki is defunct for new wikis, wikigg is very specific in its niche [00:02:21] there's not a whole lot of options on the table in the first place when you narrow down by not an evil corporation and actually functional [00:02:37] Forgot about telepedia, I do remember Amazing Wikis as well, that has a ton of rules though [00:02:41] in the end it's a matter of implementation [00:02:48] yes, amazing wikis is very heavy on rules [00:02:54] but even they have a handful of projects [00:03:11] forming direct connections with indie wikis/communities was a thought too [00:03:38] How heavy should Amazing Wikis be on rules [00:04:15] My wiki's rules are pretty much "follow the paid writer contract" and "don't piss me off." [00:05:03] amazing wikis explains its position as essentially covering all possible bases; few/very limited rules have their merits especially at small scale but inevitably circumstance and people pushing buttons forces them to become more specific, or conversely, more people involved and therefore more interpretations [00:05:28] it's very unusual for somewhere like aw to be as heavy as it is on rules but again, owner has his reasons for them and a majority at least aren't things that would be violated by accident [00:05:35] Hm yes. [00:05:51] Why is Amazing wikis so small [00:08:58] hasn't hit off I suppose [00:10:18] Also, managed to remove the wikistuff from my wiki to make it look more like a static website [00:18:40] Sorry, I'm back [00:18:45] Miss anything? [00:24:13] Meh [00:24:26] Soon to be moved away from MH way of doing things [00:24:33] Also what is going on with these icons [00:25:32] oh? technically speaking or scope/administrative [00:25:38] Technically [00:25:41] icons are kinda all over [00:25:48] oh I think I know what you mean by technically [00:26:29] it's an interesting alternative, hope it works well [00:26:54] My testing has yeilded really good results [00:27:13] Being able to add settings and extensions on wiki and not through php files is marvellous [00:27:55] (Please put the icons back as they were 😭) [00:28:11] could that perhaps be a base for a more independent wiki friendly management panel ie, non farm purposes? [00:28:57] Yeah for sure. I can't see why not. Would probably be pretty easy to spin off into its own extension just for managing configs [00:30:01] [1/2] https://taerel.com/taerelwiki/index.php/Taerel:Vaarat_Snowy_Beach [00:30:02] [2/2] What do you think of my CSS changes to hide most of the wiki stuff? (to make it look more like a static site) [00:31:00] what the [00:31:03] The Icons keep switching πŸ˜„ [00:31:12] I prefer the new icons [00:31:16] I know the Mh ones aren’t great but [00:31:18] this [00:31:20] Yeah that disk is so annoying and not at all relevant [00:31:23] this is garbage [00:31:40] @agentisai why is MWE a diiiisk 😭 [00:31:50] I rather have my books then [00:32:15] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1216906567283118201/image.png?ex=6602178e&is=65efa28e&hm=c1e9e9ae69c7dc774b6dd52eb52dcede1418d04813a2341be653e675201ecd4e& [00:32:30] i’m sorry to keep complaining about every icon but like cant we stay with πŸ”§ at least [00:33:01] I support books as a wiki creator icon [00:40:42] [1/2] https://taerel.com/taerelwiki/index.php/Taerel:Vaarat_Snowy_Beach [00:40:43] [2/2] What do you think of my CSS changes to hide most of the wiki stuff? (to make it look more like a static site) [00:49:32] fairly clean and the spartan sidebar is appropriate [00:54:42] Do you prefer the lack of wiki stuff? [00:57:42] To me it looks more like a normal website [00:57:55] It lacks the wiki feeling [00:58:03] From Brave, I fricking love firefox [01:00:03] I was trying to make it look more like a normal website. [01:00:36] Then you succeeded πŸ˜„ [01:00:47] firefox is a dream [01:01:03] I do like more spartan wiki designs so yes, that has some appeal to me [01:01:10] How much does it pass as a static site? [01:03:28] it doesn't if you're familiar with wikis [01:04:05] the off center content may look somewhat odd in an internet expecting the space to either be somewhat more symmetrical or more filled [01:05:39] mediawiki makes a somewhat rotten static site impersonator besides my own experiences trying similar using the tweeki skin, it's rather heavweight and has its own behaviors and mediawiki in some ways goes wasted when stripped of its front end mediawikiness despite its editing potential in the background assuming there is more to it when logged in [05:08:56] [1/2] Hahahahaha, a friend of mine re-earthed an early social profile which brought this perennial gem to light: [05:08:56] [2/2] "Time grant you the wisdom and luck to be crushingly embarrassed by your younger self at some point in the future" - Generic Internet Blessing/Curse, provenance and original coinage unknown [05:10:02] May we all live long enough to realize our own idiocy.

[20:32:28] cause boy it needs it [20:33:27] TBH the page should be merged into RfRW; both are very closely related and having them be separate seems a little bureaucratic [20:33:57] yeah [20:34:05] we have to move so many [20:34:13] Thats the fandom logo, right πŸ€” [20:34:25] Well, just the undeletion part; deletion can stay separate [20:34:48] Also Discord mobile ui is fucked again 😭 [20:35:27] it do that [20:35:42] That'd be it, yeah, but I haven't had time to set up autoarchiving [20:35:57] is it on wiki or server [20:36:55] @rodejong re https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/42054, I would ask the requestor if their wiki is a reception wiki as it seems reception wiki-ish but doesn't have enough context to definitively determine if it is [20:39:00] @tali64 I think @rodejong is more than capable of coming to a conclusion [20:40:01] The questions they've asked seem absolutely fine to me and they have enough experience to work out if they need to ask for more info [20:40:12] I'm sure they'll ask if they need backup or a second opinion [20:41:28] Understood, won't happen again [20:43:25] I was thinking rfrw should actually mergw into sr [20:43:32] For the record, I also don't think it's a reception wiki. The approved definition of one is "Wikis should not be structured around bullet-point, "good/bad" commentary". They seem to actually want to document it.

[20:44:02] [2/2] @rhinosf1 I don't mind really. We're a community that helps eachother. I do the same but in the Wiki Creation channel.

The subject matter of these wads could involve, mass murder, racism, and many other disturbing / controversial topics, even though these topics are disturbing / controversial, it should still be documented. Also, just because I want to document these wads, it do [20:44:46] [2/3] es not mean I support any of these messed up topics, this wiki is not meant to encourage discrimination or hate and it is not meant to encourage to spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumors against a person or group of people, and this wiki is not meant to cause / create drama, this wiki is purely meant to document Offensive / Controversial DooM wads. Each article on the wiki wil [20:44:46] [3/3] l document a specific offensive doom wad and any controversy connected them and a link for the wad will be provided. The purpose of this wiki is to document and archive the history of these offensive DooM wads.``` [20:45:39] I don't mind genius asks for help from others, people offering to advise on requests that seem to be complex or people giving constructive feedback. @tali64's seems unwarranted and I'm not sure correct advice. [20:45:46] Better not to discuss it here, but in our Wiki Creator thread [20:46:00] I basically think everything you've done was exactly what I'd expect for a fine and proper wiki creator. [20:48:00] If I could, I'd go back in time and stop myself from becoming a wiki creator; being promoted in the first place was a mistake, which this conversation demonstrates even more [20:49:48] acknowledge the error and learn, that is the best thing in any case [20:51:44] Also, it's been nearly a month since https://docs.google.com/forms/u/1/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmk9HFTTy7tSNZVZmBDvtA3uoVM4i-AV22za1jTRRnR0m33A/viewform opened.

[20:54:32] hm? [20:55:32] @pixldev basically, the more responses we get, the better. [20:55:43] I've just seen your nomination, that's a good one [20:55:55] i wrote it weeks ago [20:56:00] thanks google for saving it [20:56:19] I have the mental RAM of a calculator in the 1980s [20:56:26] Write more if you've got more to say about others [20:56:53] capiche [21:54:13] Done.
