[10:15:36] <.labster> WikiApiary is so slow these days [11:13:22] oof [12:13:55] [1/3] threw this together for funsies, a thing that can sort by tags and each thingy has a bunch of tags 🤔 was sort of wondering 1. was there a smarter way to do this (i think semanticwiki and pageforms? but getting that enabled would be a hassle so i didnt bother) 2. is it a horrible horrible idea to actually go through with it and put 1000+ images on one page. like would there be proble [12:13:55] [2/3] ms. i know a gallery w a lot of images is fine but these are individual [[File things so idk if that makes a difference [12:13:55] [3/3] https://yohaji.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Canadabonk/sandbox [15:21:55] Thinking of making a meta essay on how easy it can be to start contributing on the tech side using my experience making extensions and config PRs, thoughts? [15:35:01] Go for it [15:52:36] @li.ao would you mind if I used your file extension request from yesterday as an example in this? Not mentioning you by name ofc but would probably be linked to the task/discord message chain. Up to you of course [15:53:01] Let me take a quick check to see what happens [15:53:53] May I know in which thing? [15:54:05] This [15:54:09] Let me see [15:54:22] Sure bro, yes you can [15:54:23] A essay page on meta detailing how to get started with tech stuff like I did yesterday [15:54:40] You can take any my messages as well as requests as in your materials [15:55:16] And I'm aware of yesterday's request later developing into a global codebase merge, and I'm happy for seeing this [15:55:50] Yes contributing on Miraheze is superbly easy, you just get your ideas which is practical, and it may be considered then you made contributions. [15:56:02] What do you think? [15:57:07] And bro when you were mentioning me I was just searching for housing for my stay in Europe😂 So after seeing the notification I just assume if another server posted some stuff mentioning all members and I was about to click on it then mute it😂 [16:30:58] I’m calling it “On learning tech” for now please give me better ideas [16:31:33] So what is the main subject? [16:31:49] Is this focusing on making a contribution itself, or for a border subject [16:34:32] Dipping your toes into how to help on tech, so mainly making pull requests. That’s when a user without access to a repository like our configuration one makes a fork/copy of it under their own ownership, makes changes and improvements, then opens a request for those changes to be merged into the upstream repo [16:34:41] Ie config changes like I did [16:34:50] And it’s also part of adding an extension [16:40:51] So just take the title like Getting Start on Making Global Configuration Changes - Beginners' Guide [16:40:53] Like this? [16:41:41] dewit [16:42:34] Is meta acting up for anyone else? [16:42:52] I’m getting an error when trying to preview but my internet in this location is historically shit so [16:43:40] worked for me on quick check [16:44:47] I tried to access with China Mobile Jiangsu [16:44:58] And yes it's up running [16:46:48] Working now [16:46:53] Just the wifi :p [16:53:24] @rhinosf1 for the what you need list is there anything I’m missing beyond gh account very basic git ability and a computer [16:53:29] Phorge acc optional [16:55:26] [[User:PixDeVl/On learning tech]] [16:55:26] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:PixDeVl/On_learning_tech [16:55:27]
