[00:18:38] I love rats. [00:27:08] @pixdevl: re: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/?diff=558147&oldid=558078&rcid=2085843#Request_to_rename_image, yeah, it was a little unclear if this was a lack of permissions issue to file move the file, or if the user was wanting the actual image renamed on the image/media server (believe that might be possible with a Phorge task, but not entirely certain if so or as to process)? [00:28:21] https://tenor.com/view/mouse-in-office-gif-27448402 [00:33:47] what [00:33:54] where is phorge task coming from [00:34:07] i think its jsut asking to move a file [01:05:43] what's your wiki again? #shamelesswikipromotionopportunity [01:06:18] [1/2] https://2000ad.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [01:06:18] [2/2] it’s still very much in early stages [01:06:56] Only because they linked to the image on `static.wikitide.net`, not the `File:.` page. I could very well be wrong [01:07:07] cool, I'll have to check that out 🙂 [06:33:33] That's nonsense. You can only upload to static if it gone via on wiki. [06:51:38] even with my sick and feverish mind it is abundantly clear to me that they just want a good old regular mediawiki file move, not some static jiujitsu bullshit [07:08:18] Wishing you wellness soon, and a reasonable resolution to this extremely odd file move request. [07:08:42] I'll try to tackle this weekend once I have more breathing room [07:18:26] Get well soon, Skye! [07:25:26] thanks! in the meantime i have accomplished my dream of becoming a living kebab :p [07:25:58] Same here. Me having allergies flaring up is kicking my basket. 😭 [07:26:05] I hope you're referring to the rotisserie feature rather than the being skewered. [07:26:43] But +1 on rotation and fans as an excellent cure for the heat nasties. [07:27:36] Allergy-related nasties are the worst. [07:28:25] Mhmm. Not a fan of the body doing an immunological self-own. 🙁 [07:29:13] Me either. The pollen level's been fairly high and my allergy medication's not helping. I think I need to get myself checked by my doctor and get a better dosage. [07:29:23] rotisserie and sweating unbearably [07:29:37] have an unlimited supply of tea so will be fine [07:30:22] Uff, glad for the tea. Especially if it's a sinus sick, that's always a welcome help. [07:30:55] surprisingly the fever is the only symptom thus far [07:31:03] it is a rather strong fever though [07:31:44] Yikes, well do keep a chilly shower on standby if you're creeping up on brain melting territory. Fever's there for a reason, but above a certain temp that's bad business. [07:32:13] oh yeah I won't get myself cooked, no worries <3 [07:32:38] wasn't being that literal with the kebab comparison 😭 [07:33:29] That's good, my dummy of a college roommate tried to 'it's fine' his way through appendicitis. [07:33:46] Had to take that goof to the urgent care when things went a bit splody and septic. [07:34:29] (He's fine today, just less an appendix) [07:47:04] already had that explode so probably won't happen again [07:49:19] I did make inroads to the medical field once upon a time, but for the life of me I cannot remember if that's actually a possibility. Humans are weird, so I wouldn't rule it out.

It's not loading for me [19:24:51] that page is more in need of deprecation than updating [19:25:25] honestly, yeah [19:25:34] do we even use MMS [19:25:36] It's also evil [19:25:41] lmao not at all [19:31:28] MMS [19:31:36] m and ms [19:31:46] mmmm M&Ms [19:36:48] swf and bmw are removed from the elderly message ssytem [19:37:09] .tell Crystalite13 I ran into issues with that before. Agree with @pixldev deprecation and deletion may be more worthwhile, superceded by `wikicreatorswiki` mainly [21:23:03] @dmehus: My abuse filter has taken a few hits if you want to look at that [21:23:04] https://meta.wikioasis.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?wpSearchFilter=25 [21:23:19] And congrats on the T@S thing [21:30:27] you're right, it _is_ evil. The MMS extension isn't _that_ great tbqh [21:43:17] I do want us to have a functioning fallback that isn't MCR or discord whatsoever [21:43:40] that is also less archaic than irc yet fulfills the 'is not on our servers which could die' condition [21:44:22] Disagree with the less archaic bit [21:45:18] sometimes i wonder why articles such as Terms of Service isn't in the miraheze.org url but rather in the meta wiki one [21:45:45] if I am going to be deterred from slagging IRC then I will expect there to be options more ux robust than hexchat, without having to fling money like irccloud, or entering an increasingly improbable series of 'well this exist' observations that involve docker containers or learn to code et al [21:46:08] if irc3 was more standard and idk whatever spacebar uses was discord-like in usability I'd probably be sold [21:46:46] yet also not matrix because I have found that is also not really ideal especially for 'server' setups [21:47:32] really I want to endorse something compatible with multiple platforms and is built both to accommodate single room formats and discord-style collections that aren't a whole bunch of hassle somewhere up or down (or all the way through) the chain to manage [21:47:47] and IRC as we have available by an ocean spanning margin ain't it [21:48:53] and if we solve that then we're basically looking at the standards problem because there's a good chance it might have to deviate even from irc3 to really work [21:49:39] I want it to be something like fluxer especially when it has its more ambitious integrations figured out but I also don't want to be stretched across 3 platforms or what have you [21:50:04] but deposing discord is a desirable mission to me always, as long as the alternative is not a distinct downgrade for the use case [21:50:54] to the extent irc as it is offered offers anything in experience, it is ideological or more pleasing to the technically savvy, hardly condusive to trying to encourage people to favor it [21:51:06] what are you guys talking about? [21:51:24] the miraheze.org url has always basically been a glitzy front door and has never been constructed to serve a material part of miraheze [21:51:56] meta has always been the central component of the real project and so meaningful urls congregate around that, and to try and do it otherwise would be a technical headache probably [21:52:24] for example the entirely different interface of creating some static webpage which holds the TOS vs just doing it with every other policy we have [21:53:06] but a vanity redirect of miraheze.org/tos to the terms of service could be interesting and similar for the most distinct policies [21:54:48] Probably pretty easy to do [21:55:17] that sounds like no trouble at all and also not a bad idea [21:56:23] [1/2] weird choice to make the "About" label link to the Meta Main Page and not the FAQ [21:56:23] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1540479707047526500/Screenshot_20260821-185538.png?ex=6a8a1b06&is=6a88c986&hm=2e1b4096dabbfbb2ce9c308b6bbc3c156935c3333f0fa70a2fd32cb481859614& [22:00:56] Make a Phorge task for it and add me, I’ll see about making a PR for it in a few days [22:01:10] Just need to confirm if the landing page uses the same redirect systwm [22:03:38] [1/2] I love wifi guys [22:03:38] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1540481532685455411/image0.jpg?ex=6a8a1cba&is=6a88cb3a&hm=1101dd52892930cae8e8e6a788046a933fd5332905e9c18426c1e125f450e8b5& [22:09:56] Tasty [22:24:04] maybe a vanity redirect for miraheze.org/tou and miraheze.org/privacy too? [22:24:26] * dmehus still really loves the design of our static miraheze.org webpage [22:30:00] pix much less so [22:30:29] pix much less so [22:33:26] [1/2] Does anyone have a tip on how to handle people who don’t understand the concept of licenses? [22:33:27] [2/2] We just received the following: [22:33:53] [1/2] ”anyone can use my images as long as they do not pass them off as their own and credit is given on the same page as the pic. [22:33:53] [2/2] i won't be writing anything up or signing anything, but feel free to use them.” [22:34:16] This is a prolific artist and photographer in the scope of our field. [22:35:22] The first sentence is very clearly a license, that’s compatible with use in CC licensed works such as a wiki. [22:36:06] The second? He says he’s refusing to put the first sentence (that was sent over instant messaging as text) in writing. [22:36:17] He just did and I just need to vent! [22:37:14] The guy basically want’s CC-BY (up to 3.0?) but he VEHEMENTLY refuses that. [23:28:12] works so I think you should just be able to edit `redirects_manual.yaml` [23:30:19] What server serves landing
