[00:07:55] So we generally don't allow sweeping changes to an approved wiki's scope and/or topic without review and approval by a Steward first. [00:08:30] But @tatiannaz , if you want us to undelete your wiki to allow for a speedy export of templates/modules, happy to do so [00:09:28] You can select just templates namespace on the Special:DataDump page, download that, then do the same thing with the modules namespace [00:19:42] O [00:19:50] How do I do this? [00:19:58] And they’re similar topics both fantasy world building wikis [00:23:42] Oh, you can request a scope change on the miscellaneous board, basically just tell us which wiki is changing, and what the new topic is. [00:24:32] Once you've locked in your scope change, if you need to change the URL for your wiki too, that's just a ticket at issue-tracker.miraheze.org [00:51:36] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1072370273485070387/1221975043920232499 hm [01:00:23] 👍🏾 [01:01:45] So where’s the misc board 😭 [01:02:16] [[SR/M]] [01:02:16] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SR/M [01:02:23] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SR/M [01:05:30] Thank u [01:05:51] No worries [01:15:12] Can’t imagine how My wikis gnna look in a year [01:16:10] Mine's barely changed but it isn't exactly worked on actively lol [01:17:04] I just started my wiki last february 2023 So It’s been large difference [01:21:50] A month after mine :) [01:41:20] <.labster> Shall I add https://login.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Clippy to devwiki? Who wouldn't want a helpful assistant template? [01:43:01] Go ahead [01:43:41] <.labster> Are people here too young to actually remember Clippy? [01:45:12] Please add [Category:Templates] too it [01:47:43] @.labster doc needs updating [01:48:08] so much more to do one fandom ;) [02:39:50] <.labster> @pixldev like what, need examples [02:40:50] Burn down your house after your PC tried to load a FANNDOM page with ads enabled [02:41:14] die of cringe overdose reading their PR nonsense about removing WR [03:00:31] <.labster> "Disable adblock on Fandom, so you can use your computer as an electric heater" [03:01:41] I hear it's especially practical for ice fishing [03:02:00] <.labster> ice phishing more likely [03:03:08] <.labster> "Add a comment about how information is missing from wiki page" [03:03:31] No that's my wiki actually [03:03:50] <.labster> I really, really don't understand comments [04:55:29] I miss clippy [04:56:09] <.labster> Now we have ChatGPT to be unhelpful, though, so it's not all bad. [04:58:05] I spent too long trying to click on dont show this tip again [04:58:53] <.labster> Maybe it should be a real checkbox that auto-unclicks [04:59:19] Can we just add clippy to common.js globally [05:01:24] <.labster> Templatestyles didnt exist when I first made that, I can probably do more now [05:07:24] Yes [05:11:22] <.labster> Clippy was basically the Taylor Swift of our generation [05:11:35] <.labster> Except annoying and can’t sing [05:12:30] Lol ok [05:12:38] I saw some videos about it but I don't know very much about it [05:12:49] "Read a page about the best fan ships of the year" this is pretty funny [05:14:32] <.labster> But really, imagine if ChatGPT randomly read your webpages, and started suggesting you do certain things, and was 99% wrong, and displayed over the webpage. That's the Microsoft Office Assistant, aka Clippy. [05:17:16] I see [05:17:18] Lol that's funny [05:17:21] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1222051746797584414/Untitled.png?ex=6614cf61&is=66025a61&hm=f120830c005faf2b4aa99ace36f6e922d6594a5a5e156b649618d96e2dfdb47d& [05:17:42] Turned off my ad blocker just to highlight the ads [05:25:42] w art tho [05:25:49] Lol yea [05:25:58] https://tenor.com/view/bronseele-bronya-seele-honkai-star-rail-gif-3291937127687754644 [05:26:02] https://tenor.com/view/honkai-star-rail-hsr-honkai-star-rail-bronya-gif-1387922688819601862 [05:35:31] I liked kitty [05:35:39] I forgot its name [05:35:48] like, the helper thingt [05:36:29] remember also dog, wizard, and some pathetic robot [05:41:16] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vz06QO3UkQ&rco=1 to think poor Aaron would've been fine if he just had better OPSEC [06:10:46] [1/2] is wikipedia broken for anyone else [06:10:46] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1222065190049415179/image.png?ex=6614dbe6&is=660266e6&hm=da255bccd2d81931e7ed8e4d706e2e9c6af9459796632ddc025183423ddfe6dc& [06:24:02] Works fine for me. [06:26:09] [1/2] Oof [06:26:10] [2/2] https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/s/gkFo1nkv8C [06:27:49] Yeah it's back now [06:28:16] Should be resolved [06:31:08] mira doesn't have ads so I don't have to worry about how they render :pupCoffeeMH: [06:32:20] also less worry over mobile layout w/ alt skins available [06:44:14] that's not Fandom, that's wiki.gg btw [06:47:44] Yeah I know [06:52:34] I just still can't wrap my head around how giving more skin choices or MFE limits users experience? ideas of design/layout? [06:53:04] eh [07:05:33] <.labster, replying to justleafy2003> https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1bhnqhe/resource_intensive_ads_for_stuff_i_have_no/ wiki.gg is #2 post, Fandom is #13 on that subreddit [08:47:19] [1/2] I've seen it multiple times on that subreddit [08:47:20] [2/2] There's literally almost zero people (including Fandom stars) who approve of having this terrible ad experience in the long term. [08:52:29] I hope to see a day where the ad experience changes for the better. This is pretty much a universal point being brought up among Fandom stars. [08:55:15] And if the company started to head to the direction where ad placement and the ad experience improves, even little by little, I'll be more than happy that they do that, and it will actually benefit them in the long run. [09:19:02] <.labster> VC money always chases short-term profits [09:26:58] Yeah, sadly [09:27:34] But I happen to be patient enough to hope to see any sort of change in the long term [09:27:36] So... [09:27:40] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [09:40:51] short term losses invite an even shorter term spiral [11:46:08] @justleafy2003 Happy wikiing 😉 [11:46:56] thank you [11:48:23] u edit the despotism 3k wiki? [11:55:51] ? huh? [11:56:03] link? [11:56:26] https://despotism3k.miraheze.org [11:56:30] I do sometimes help out on other wiki's yes. Just can't remember the name [11:56:45] yeah I like doing that too [11:56:54] even if it is a small contribution and/or I know nothing about a game [11:57:11] Can't remember this one 🤔 [11:57:32] it's ok [11:57:34] No I haven't [11:59:17] No changes were found matching these criteria. [12:00:50] thought you'd know about this wiki, cuz I thought u said to me "happy wikiing" when I started to play this game 😅 [12:02:47] Ah.. no, I meant your wiki request 😄 [12:03:23] ahhhh okay [12:03:37] thanks [13:35:42] @theoneandonlylegroom Could you please read a pm I send you? [14:56:53] MY NAME IS PM [14:56:55] PM [14:57:16] PM is the best combinations of the words [14:57:53] PM is the PMA [14:58:35] [1/4] PM PM PM [14:58:35] [2/4] PM [14:58:35] [3/4] PM [14:58:35] [4/4] PM PM PM PM [14:59:14] Please do not spam [15:00:01] Seconded, thank you [15:00:10] :EpicFaceMH: [15:00:24] hi [15:01:01] Hi [15:01:14] I'm the Future Wikipedia Miraheze User [15:01:27] I think not [15:02:45] @rodejong I like to spam with words as I saw that you sent a message to a user in which you used PM and I said that I can make jokes from any word or abbreviation [15:03:24] Hi - just a warning, this server really won't tolerate spam. [15:03:56] So feel free to do what you do but know that [15:04:03] Brandon, I also have a request that I would like you to approve if it is [15:04:13] Go ahead [15:04:28] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/42287 [15:04:36] Is my request [15:05:39] Sorry, hard no there. If you'd like to argue that further you're free to do so on the request, but I'll tell you now it's very likely a no. [15:07:27] What is "Future Wikipedia Miraheze"? [15:08:50] Nothing to worry about, as it is too broad to even be considered [15:09:47] The scenario for my concept would be thanks to this wiki Novaworld will have a place and progress more than ever and I will give more details about this new and imaginary world - this is scenario for my concept [15:09:52] [1/2] It has been declined again (for the 6th time I might add) [15:09:53] [2/2] We're not granting you a "Wikipedia of everything" as en.wikipedia already exists! [15:10:51] Hi, let's move this to the request itself. [15:10:55] Don't get angry, I'm giving up on this plan. I just want to Novaworld a new world with new countries [15:11:02] @rodejong [15:11:13] Let's move it to the request itself. Final warning. [15:11:53] Hello. [15:12:00] Hello [15:14:12] @brandon.wm Be careful, I'll have a good vision. I will give up the Fictional project to make room for the new project. The wiki will also be called Fictionalpedia, but rather than annoy the user ...... better Novaworld [15:15:09] I said to move it to the request and you didn't. 24 hour timeout. In the future, please think about your words and warnings delivered, to know when to stop. [15:16:27] Also, your Discord bio is literally FictionalWikipedia2024 in Romania, so. [20:54:57] I seen some unique things come out of ru.wiki and de.wiki lately, oh and ru has the engineer group https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F:%D0%98%D0%BD%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%8B (Interface administrator but without a broom) [21:00:31] [1/2] TL:DR [21:00:31] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1222289099746971699/643dbfbc648011fe.png?ex=6615ac6e&is=6603376e&hm=821310a29788586d9746d6821d66bd6886ae75b7adc5fce28568fbeaea920380& [21:08:55] janny/sysop is me in a nutshell tbh [21:57:06] I'm IA [23:21:12] <.labster> I’m rolefluid [23:26:52] I'm very much the right side lmao [23:27:04] raidarr-like [23:27:14] Is this the wiki version of political maps [23:27:32] Might be [23:29:10] Wiki maps, anyone? [23:29:28] Isn’t there meant to be an up and down? [23:29:41] So left is tech, right Is janny [23:29:49] What’s top and bottom [23:30:21] Probably good/bad at editing [23:30:22] Interaction? [23:30:39] Ie up is lot of noticeboards and community interactions [23:30:51] Bottom is quiet working [23:32:25] Very happy we've built a more active community [23:32:37] We should consider expanding Meta somehow.... [23:32:45] Not to say active or not [23:33:07] Take day MacFan, does SRE work but more in the shadows. [23:33:11] Compared to day Agent [23:34:43] Is anyone has a better idea for an axis im all ears [23:39:45] LMAO [23:40:13] ^ is more MacFan, > is more Agent, < is less Agent, and I have no down arrow so less MacFan [23:41:17] [1/3] The two most important things for contributing for a wiki are technical skills and communication skills, so let's just make those the two axes: [23:41:17] [2/3] Left-right (Technical): far left is no proficiency in MediaWiki syntax; far right is god-like technical skills, accompanied with a deep understanding of the MediaWiki software; center is average understanding of MW syntax, technical knowledge not necessary. I would probably be right-center (very proficient in MW syntax, decent understanding of how it works) [23:41:17] [3/3] Up-down (Communication): far up is incredible communication/comprehension skills and more frequent conversation holding; far down is poor communication/comprehension skills and rare (if present) conversation holding [23:44:54] You can be a janny and have tech skills [23:47:51] Ie you’ve seen me yap in tech and I’m also a meta patroller
