[12:34:22] [1/2] do we have an observer who speaks a lick of russian who might be able to further triage https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions#%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%BD%D0%B5_%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B5%D1%82_%D0%B2_%D0%A0%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B8, which seems to either be an ip block issue we might have something to do with or something we can't deal w [12:34:22] [2/2] ith because it is locally enforced [12:34:36] a gnome would probably have it shot to the misc board as it doesn't seem permissions related [14:58:49] [1/2] Wiki does not work in Russia [14:58:49] [2/2] Hello! At [possibly upon?] changing, there appeared a problem with opening my wiki in Russia or its working [presumably the wiki]. The site either does not open or works very slowly. [Not sure about the part before the comma], [something] will reveal if this is normal or just a fixable mistake. [14:59:03] interesting [14:59:12] I'm very rusty, I'm afraid. [14:59:39] It's been a good couple of years since I've last read russian. [15:00:00] So there are probably some mistakes in that translation. [15:00:15] given there was since a fairly elementary question the next day on the help desk that someone else addressed I think your read is probably accurate and they just encountered a blip on the servers [15:00:29] will do a check to make sure the wiki is behaving expectedly but will probably run with that [15:01:01] seems reachable and actively edited, thank you for the input [15:01:10] No problem. [17:30:42] Roskomnadzor (Russian Ethernet Moderation Ministry or smth) banned MediaWiki and related subjects including Miraheze due to War Censorship [17:31:47] Wikipedia's Fault if simply [17:39:32] Wouldn't be the first time they put us on the no list [17:47:55] would not surprise me and not something we can chase, but it did not appear to be the nature of their question [20:34:11] @raidarr I have an idea to modify @elisapoly 's draft welcome page into something more succinct and a bit more neutrally styled. [20:34:30] Your feedback is good [21:00:09] what welcome page [21:01:33] When you create a new wiki on Miraheze there is a default main page that the wiki launches with (for example, https://communities.miraheze.org/wiki/Project:Home?oldid=1) and there is a proposal to change it here: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Requests_for_Comment/New_Maintenance_Script_welcome_page [21:01:56] ohhhh [21:02:04] thought it was meta's main page [21:09:20] by all means [21:10:17] (to clarify I would prepare it as a separate proposal alongside the other one; my phrasing suggested I was going to overwrite it) [21:11:52] multiple drafts for approaches is a good thing [21:25:22] oh my god is this what people see when someone pings skye and not skye [21:27:32] eh, bit worse [21:27:57] [1/2] :Kek: [21:27:57] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1225560610628964423/1534311956318781572/image.png?ex=6a73aadc&is=6a72595c&hm=4d593065782d2ee18637aee6c7d3d5291663b5c86c51ecbb38a73d3584c1eced& [21:28:19] @pskyechology I shall accept any punishment you throw upon me [21:38:42] lol [23:15:36] Did you get this figured out?
