[07:57:57] Meta [08:04:34] :ThinkingHardMH: [08:07:59] what do we mean exactly by best [08:08:29] Rain world wiki has extensive modding [08:08:36] the amount of articles, how community and admins manage it etc [08:08:41] Critical Roll has lots of pages [08:10:00] Rain World is what people tend to think when Miraheze is mentioned if not reception wikis [08:10:07] yeah, it's a good wiki [08:10:10] Itā€™s the main one I remember [08:24:27] <.labster, replying to theoneandonlylegroom> Basically wikis I could brag about at a Mediawiki Conference. [08:25:25] <.labster> Rosetta Code is the most obvious one to me. [08:26:11] <.labster> Basically quality, cultural impact, officialness, educational value. [08:26:24] oh well [08:26:55] i dunno then [08:27:11] Have you ever been to one? [08:27:27] <.labster> Nope. I've been to other programming conferences. [08:29:33] hay, maybe the one about mythical creatures [08:29:38] it's pretty old and big [08:29:47] I forgot its name tho [08:29:55] and it's in Spanish [08:30:37] Iā€™ve been to one big issue local Wikipedia event and I think once to a night event by my local WM chapter [08:31:36] and of the recent wikis is about toki pona [08:32:06] <.labster> I did like the Toki Pona wiki [08:32:38] sona pona [08:33:04] also don't forget Indonesian Wikipedia lil [08:33:11] <.labster> This isn't a Wikipedia event, it's a Mediawiki event. Crowd will be mostly developers. It's in Portland, so Ward is giving the keynote. [08:33:16] and that one NATO wiki [08:33:25] ah, so like [08:33:38] tech side is priority? [08:34:30] <.labster> Yeah, I have to admit throwing up a NATO logo in the slides will be pretty cool [08:34:32] Me who live on east coast :( [08:34:53] <.labster> I'm on the west coast, I still am flying. [08:34:53] I wanna meet the world famous James Hare [08:37:03] isn't Create/ManageWiki the biggest thing to come out of Mira? [08:37:52] Technological wise? [08:37:58] Very possible [08:59:07] <.labster> Unfortunately I'm that well equipped to talk about CW/MW.

[09:17:17] rain world wiki [09:17:19] pizza tower wiki [09:17:26] lethal company wiki [09:17:28] veloren wiki [09:18:01] aether gazer wiki [09:18:17] brave nine wiki [09:20:15] farthest frontier wiki [09:22:52] <.labster> I wonder what all of those wikis are about. Like how can you tower a pizza? Pizzas are flat. [09:23:11] <.labster> So like yeah I'm kind of old, right? [09:23:32] https://pizzatower.miraheze.org/wiki/Pizza_Tower_(Video_Game) [09:23:43] this game came out last year [09:28:21] all these wikis are fan wikis [09:33:44] sadly PT gained an infamous rep because of half of its audience are literal children w/ very immature sense of humour which is very evident on fandom wiki of all things and we at Mira are still dealing w/ its legacy garbage in files [09:36:02] but I can vouch that MH editors and admins are very hard working and do their best to make a really good wiki, and I'm gonna lie if I won't say it's the funkiest wiki on miraheze in visual department [09:37:17] Same here, and I only joined Miraheze in November so I haven't seen too much yet. [09:37:32] But what the best wiki's are is subjective [09:38:11] [1/2] yeah [09:38:12] [2/2] like the criteria Lab has given are very much "serious and good" [09:38:33] <.labster> A few can be fun too [09:39:17] PTW is only missing some kind of theming feature lol [09:39:45] Theme extension is basically Vector only, and my request for Themes (by wiki.gg) was declined [09:40:19] https://criticalrole.miraheze.org/wiki/Critical_Role_wiki:Manual_of_Style [09:40:46] This wiki has a great set-up with a MOS and good rules set [09:41:36] I could probably bring SPcodex which is very Cargo dependent but they migrated to independence in June lol [09:43:09] <.labster> I was definitely going to consider the Critical Role wiki. I wonder if I should throw 1d6chan up there too. [09:44:05] <.labster> I guess LGBTQIA is in the process of moving to Mywikis? [09:45:58] I think there are small wiki's that are used by institutions for organisational structures. Perhaps one of those could be considered. [09:46:46] Not everything has to be big, but just good used [09:46:48] to this day? [09:47:02] <.labster> That's what the sitenotice says, kinda. [09:47:32] <.labster> actually, mentioning mywikis, look at their front page: https://www.mywikis.com/ I'm sure all of those university logos are just one or two departments using the service, but it looks impressive. [09:48:41] the wikis showcase is always impressive [09:49:57] https://k6ka.miraheze.org/ [09:50:10] mywikis compares itself to miraheze but somehow not fandom lol [09:50:57] University of Copenhagen is in Denmark. [09:51:36] It's a well known university here. But could indeed be just one or two departments [10:11:03] > We're run by professionals. Miraheze is ran by unpaid volunteers from their community. [10:11:17] Like that makes a difference? [10:11:37] > Our software engineers have degrees in computer science from the top computer science universities in the world [10:11:57] Ive never seen a mediawiki extension or git commit to mediawiki from anyone at mywikis [10:13:13] <.labster> It makes a difference if you're expecting support that you paid for. [10:14:02] Maybe yeah [10:14:19] Why is the visual editor not available on the cheapest plan. That's a gimmick [10:14:52] this reminded me of tupka lol [10:14:58] <.labster> CS degrees are kind of meaningless for running a hosting company, though. [10:17:11] Yeah, a software development degree might be more handy [10:17:28] (Pretty sure they're not one in the same? Correct me if I'm wrong) [10:17:36] They're not the same in the UK anyway [10:18:13] both LGBTQIA seem to be active [10:18:27] stange [10:18:38] maybe ask admin [10:18:51] and both are behind fandom, ofc [10:19:38] first page results on google gives you two Miraheze wikis even [10:21:49] hm, did Nonbinary Wiki went indie? [10:22:02] was amongst most well known on Mira [11:28:36] @mx.lilasekhmet I have people try scam with AI crud [11:28:46] ok [11:29:03] I pay for lore to be written, but many, many are scammers [11:29:09] sorry, what does this have to do with grammarly and using it to check english wiki pages when you aren't a native english speaker? [11:30:28] I do scan wiki pages for AI due to how my wiki is run. And some people may wish to check an wiki for AI, hence Grammarly [11:30:56] Ah, so, you're saying you don't like people using grammarly on your wiki, because it makes harder to check for AI-written pages? [11:31:02] Yes. [11:31:06] Ah, that makes sense [11:31:30] It does work well for non native english speakers BUT I kinda regrat Grammarly fixing my wiki [11:32:24] What wiki do you run? [11:32:32] A inderpendant worldbuilding wiki [11:32:45] Which wiki though? [11:32:59] taerel.com [11:33:03] cool [11:33:19] Also, Google Translate also false flags as AI to dectors [11:37:41] to be fair with both google and grammarly, both are indeed curated by 'robots' [11:38:00] detecting if it's a robot going off something useful or making it up all from scratch is a tall order [11:38:28] I prefer to play it safe regrading AI made or AI altered content [11:38:57] well if you have an article you suspect is pure ai gobblygook you can shoot it to me [11:39:05] I've spent way too much time dealing with ai generated spam [11:40:11] Oh, AI gen spam is a problem now? [11:40:59] oh it's the next frontier of spam [11:41:07] I did revert some spam on Our Darker Purpose wiki on FANDOM, some probly AI made spam [11:41:18] a common track on forums for example is to just ai generate innocuous posts which may or may not properly relate to whatever threads they necro [11:41:33] How much spam was there? [11:41:55] well the spam I deal with is on a place where I have no ability to implement better measures so you could say I get a consistent front line of what's new [11:44:13] Some are even requesting wiki's just for the sake of AI filling it up with stories. šŸ˜„ [11:44:30] I have had 2 so far [11:44:35] oh yeah, we've gotten a handful of ai wiki requests so far [11:44:46] probably people who just shoveled the effort in chatgpt [11:44:59] haven't had the pleasure to knock one down simply because it failed to use the process properly [11:46:10] I was lucky that the requesters were to lazy with puting a nice description together. That would be the place where I would use AI atleast šŸ˜„ [11:47:21] Where is that?

[17:12:07] some scammers sent you a link to a server with Onlyfans and teen (porn) leaks, if you get in the server they'll ask you to verify and scan a QR with your phone's Discord app, if you do that your account is compromised. [17:12:13] *send [17:13:52] [1/5] What Tali sent is a wake up call, we need to be careful here on Discord who we write to because it's probably a bad guy who will probably steal our accounts, we each may have the accounts for a long time, and others he would steal everything we have on him. [17:13:52] [2/5] Scams and Discord viruses have made the community sit for longer, Miraheze, we haven't been through this experience, but we hope it won't happen [17:13:52] [3/5] Anyway, here in Romania, scams are serious, there are certain people who send you messages with packages from unreal mail, crazy links that make us lose our data from it.

I don't take the negative opinions into account (as this message is transmitted on some Romanian songs), but I don't want Miraheze to decay, for what, for bad intentions who want to do harm! Not! Any user who comments negatively on my view here, has his decision, but I will not respond in the same coin [17:43:30] for better or worse some things are appropriate and others only proceed so far [17:48:53] orain goin' against the holy trinity: miraheze, fandom, wiki.gg [17:49:24] [1/3] Nova wants to be a different place with a special vision, and wants to convey the good, and anyone who gives something good, will go towards a big Miraheze community, and that's what I, a Romanian who came here, want to say I also write poems, that makes me unique. I can now write a poem about Brandon if I want. [17:49:24] [2/3] I only gave an example now, don't take it bad, Brandon. I have no idea, but this is what I want to convey. Nova Media will make Miraheze a clean place together with our colleagues, those with wikis, moderators, administrators.
