[12:19:44] What is the best way to mass edit a MediaWiki site on Linux? [12:49:06] pywikipedia bot [12:53:58] How easy is pywikibot to use? [12:58:30] I find it quite easy, but it can only be used from the command line. There are detailed guides for each of the scripts on either wikipedia or mediawiki.org, though. [19:26:17] @rodejong since your my copyright and dev wiki guy: [[dev:Template:En-WP attribution notice]] says CC-SA-3.0 Unported. Doesn’t enwiki use CC BY-SA 4.0? [19:26:17] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/dev:Template:En-WP_attribution_notice [19:26:18]

[19:37:20] [1/2] Correct. They've updated that. But that has to be doen in Admin links. [19:37:20] [2/2] I'll see if Pppery is willing to change that [19:38:39] Ro when are you gonna run for sysop on dev wiki [19:39:13] Too many things I want, too little time. [19:40:10] Wiki creation takes a few hours for research on these requests, my own wiki, research how to make simple templates, chatting with my buddy 😄 [19:47:39] Anyways: after over a year on the platform, over 6 months on the discord, and two months active on Meta, I have officially submitted my very first wiki request to Miraheze [19:48:04] Nice! [19:48:21] What did you request a wiki for? [19:48:45] Documenting a niche 3D printing technique for printing without supports [19:48:49] Already approved [19:49:02] https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830 [19:49:03] 😉 [19:49:18] I’ve learned from y’all [19:49:45] I had intended to do this a while ago then my partner suggested waiting till we get it to work [19:49:50] I suppose the wiki will be public in the future? [19:49:54] Yes [19:50:00] nice [19:50:15] We wanted to wait till it worked then Make a public one [19:50:16] But uh [19:50:36] We’ve been fumbling with this partly due to lack of documentation on our part [19:50:53] We joked about it before then Today said yeah screw it [19:50:57] Anyways ima dm him [19:56:57] Anyways I may have to steal some templates and pages from meta [20:24:27] [1/2] CheckUser starter pack [20:24:27] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1218293757322199060/ca0584349705b0f6.png?ex=6607237a&is=65f4ae7a&hm=c7d68450dc329ffc896394c5e580ac8bb7a665331c85eafaca242ff599b2adec& [20:26:56] Proposal to rename "Oppose" to "Unsupport" [20:33:20] I unsupport your proposal 😉 [20:33:21] Cracked + and - should be renamed to unsupport and unoppose as you are withdrawing your point [20:33:40] does that mean I oppose, or that I {{abstain}}? Who knows [20:33:40] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:abstain [20:33:41]

[20:34:54] Oh it’s different [20:34:58] Yea I can get behind that [20:43:15] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Restricted_changes?curid=72048&diff=379108&oldid=379079 LinkTitles is a restricted extension? [20:43:19] anyone knows why? [20:47:47] hmm, I guess this batch mode thing looks a bit sus [21:10:45] [1/2] I am only missing cracked negative votes [21:10:45] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1218305410843545620/1d6f14535a6ab8b3.png?ex=66072e54&is=65f4b954&hm=9a15b0a87175e1f846376e8a8dad894d9d3d53c94386159a6ccf263a9e802fab& [21:13:09] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cu-endorsed you too can find the right images on WMC [21:15:42] And if you want animated SVG's: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki-2020-large-icon-spinning.svg [21:17:01] woah [21:56:40] Ah .. The Norro Style icons. Love those [21:57:48] Anyone remember that parody of the different wiki farm link numbers on Miraheze with the scribbles and the amoung us? Trying to find it [21:57:54] Someone posted here [22:12:29] <.labster> The other day I was looking for icons for `{{oppose if}}` and `{{abstain|strong}}`, couldn't find any [22:12:29] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:oppose_if [22:13:11] I honestly can’t tell if that’s sarcasm [22:13:13] <.labster> `{{oppose if}}` is technically `{{support unless}}` I guess [22:13:13] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:oppose_if [22:13:43] <.labster> It's not sarcasm, also probably not a good idea [22:13:44] So support if is oppose unless? [22:14:01] It can be hard to tell with you sometimes [22:14:05] Well [22:14:38] It could mean “I don’t have too strong opinions and therefore abstain, but if X, I oppose” [22:15:06] <.labster> it wasn't on the same item lol [22:15:57] Pardon? [22:23:12] <.labster> I wasn't trying to say that I strong abstain but might oppose if on the same item, but on separate votes [22:24:48] You strong abstain? [22:24:56] Like you really don't want to vote? [22:25:21] <.labster> {{abstain|strong}} is my reaction to all discussions of the Israel-Palestine conflict [22:25:21] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:abstain [22:26:29] Seems only appropriate when you’re explicitly asked or invited into a discussion [22:27:06] Ye that makes sense @pixldev [22:27:07] <.labster> I do politics so it occasionally comes up in real life [22:27:17] That's a good stance [22:29:30] It's as quintessential to the template space as {{curly brackets}} [22:29:30] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:curly_brackets [22:29:31]

[22:33:50] I have gone with “I’m uneducated enough on this topic to provide an opinion”. This feels like `{{abstain | strong}}` [22:33:50] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:abstain_ [22:35:31] That setence would mean you are providing a comment [22:35:37] Like most politicians [22:35:49] You are uneducated enough so you comment [22:36:14] _has spent too much time reviewing the grammar of other peoples work this week for his brain to not notice_ [23:17:51] the current votes are good, like someone said "do" [23:21:38] Touché [23:26:56] Asha Bhosle haves literally a single from 1938, she is 90 years old
