[00:38:00] [1/5] In the case of fandom wikis and their search results poisoning the legitimate wikis results, there is a bit of a solution, though you'd need to be a bureaucrat on said fandom to employ this tactic. If you have access to editing MediaWiki:Common.css on a fandom and you want to take the Fandom wiki down, go ahead and toss in [00:38:01] [2/5] ``` [00:38:01] [3/5] * { display: none !important} [00:38:01] [4/5] ``` [00:38:02] [5/5] That'll make every page just be blank [00:38:32] that's an easy way to get yourself blocked and demoted [00:39:16] I used to run a fandom wiki for a flash based MMO that was initially available through Newgrounds of all places and the wiki straight up died after a while. Like literally no editors for 3 years straight. So I did that trick to the Fandom wiki since fandom staff outright refused to delete said wiki [00:39:38] I wouldn't do that willy nilly to any old wiki, obviously [00:40:26] I was thinking it could be a good way for the RuneScape wiki to get rid of the Fandom copy if someone who worked for the RSW had access to editing the css of the Fandom site [00:41:05] fandom would obviously revert it almost instantly [00:41:16] [it's still blank after idk how long]() [00:41:53] I think the game has a new revival on Steam and the players of the revival have made their own wiki for the revival, so no big loss there [00:43:02] No? I can read it fine [00:43:09] Weird [00:43:16] It loads blank white for me [00:43:29] me also [00:43:40] im very surprised they havent blacklisted that line of css [00:43:55] or just the * selector in general [00:48:04] I remember how awful Fandom was 20 years ago when it was Wikia, so it's no big surprise that they're still terrible all these years later. [00:50:04] I think that's one of the benefits of being born in the 1980's, I got to grow up alongside the internet and witness all the online shenanigans over the years. [00:51:15] 1980s is crazy [00:51:51] 16 year old steam account [00:56:35] u spyin on me? ;o [00:57:46] Fandom cleared the tag for Common.css in August 2025. But they didnt clear FandomMobile.css so it is still blank on mobile only [01:57:12] Interesting, didn't know that. [01:57:33] fandom's recent update removed the FandomMobile skin from Special:Version [01:57:51] ... which means you cant use `?useskin=fandommobile` anymore [01:59:23] Damn, they de-bcrat'd me too [01:59:31] All this for a dead wiki for a dead game [02:00:37] [1/2] Still thanked Kirkburn 😂 [02:00:38] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1482196725774028920/Screenshot_20260313_220023_Firefox.jpg?ex=69b612c5&is=69b4c145&hm=8f0a22d98162c8ed08cb9d13c44216aa9285bb8afb5ef7b6f177d83b8364802a& [02:02:06] I'm trying to figure out when the last actual edit to the wiki was [02:04:54] gawd, they're still doing ugly hacks? [02:05:16] God I hate navigating fandom wikis [02:05:24] wdym [02:05:56] i do know that oasis has both a skin (which is not properly loaded), and a separate extension for some reason [02:06:16] oasis has a... extension? [02:06:29] ...yep [02:06:36] show [02:07:02] yes show [02:07:39] filed under extensions [02:10:23] god i miss oasis [02:12:04] [1/2] apologies for no css, but too lazy to reinstall sassphp [02:12:04] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1482199606115827865/1773454315960.png?ex=69b61574&is=69b4c3f4&hm=9c5c26b2345550b3b12cfcdc7d64e921049129165d65fce08697dc073b2cb345& [02:15:32] I don't like CSS anyway. [02:17:17] Why need CSS when you have raw HTML? [02:19:51] it's weird, I never noticed any issues of Fandom's design for the years I was there, yet now when I go back to the BC Fandom wiki it looks awful [02:20:04] and nothing has changed about it since pre-migration [02:20:17] Yeah initially it wasn't bad. It was actually decent in the earliest days [02:20:53] Then they started shoving ads in [02:22:27] I was going to self-host my wiki initially but didn't want to pay for a VPS rental and the now-exorbitant fee for my former domain tf2cutcontent.wiki which has shot up in price since I stopped paying for it and abandoned it [02:23:11] https://tenor.com/view/dispatch-dispatch-game-blonde-blazer-dispatch-blond-blazer-blonde-blazer-gif-2635145337410771316 [02:23:16] blonde blazer has arrive [02:23:24] [1/2] is this conventional [02:23:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1482202458695663856/image.png?ex=69b6181c&is=69b4c69c&hm=3a37b5e6384d3a59220065b4f934b23e064e36a3f59f1890cde843a5fc57026a& [02:23:42] divdivdiv [02:24:24] ignore my 4 divs [02:29:26] this looks like the selectors you'd copy from inspect element [02:29:55] https://tenor.com/view/lucki-shh-lucki-shh-gif-3245291727502780352 [02:29:55] but no it's not conventional, I'd recommend you use CSS classes to avoid all that [02:30:22] for infoboxes? [02:31:16] yeah [02:36:08] please, if you value your sanity, don't check my wiki's Common.css 🙏 [02:37:51] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1482206092711952475/SPOILER_image.png?ex=69b61b7e&is=69b4c9fe&hm=fd2ade1867f3eb7d913dd768355ac862accaf0102b3d7790c27764482b6491d9& [02:38:00] spoilers for the people who are of the faint of heart [02:38:14] if it ain't broke then wait until it breaks to fix it [02:38:14] is what i say! [02:38:27] I got that from stack overflow and it works, don't judge me :< [02:38:56] I am also responsible for TCRF.net having that same code in their Common.css [02:39:15] yamete kudastop [02:39:40] I know what yamete means, I watched filthy frank :< [02:40:07] What is the conventional way to do that then? [02:40:23] what HE said! [02:40:32] Oops I mean ʌ ʌ （ΦωΦ）「春になったにゃ」（ ∪ ∪ ） [02:40:36] but I am using classes [02:41:48] ... [02:41:59] really weren't kidding [02:42:11] 🤣 [02:42:29] i just want to have one section in my infobox have no bottom border 🥹 [02:42:39] the Sufferi [02:43:50] well it depends on what you're actually trying to do but the conventional way is generally to have css classes and then all the columns would have this css class so you don't need to get into `nth-child` territory [02:46:11] Lesson learned: don't listen to stackoverflow [02:46:22] :steveo_kek2: [02:50:54] i got my wiki and im trying to learn how to do things and im already massively confused lol [02:51:12] im sure with enough time experimenting and learning stuff it'll flow a lot better but theres a lot of information im struggling to process [02:53:19] [[how-to guides]] might be a decent help, and if you have any questions feel free to ask the Discord [02:53:19] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/how-to_guides [02:53:20]
