[00:12:42] hi im online again [00:13:33] @dmehus i am avaliable if you got an update now [12:27:45] If anyone watching right now has discord mod permissions, you may want to look at the discord and take care of a porn poster in the general chat. [12:32:42] @raidarr hi [12:54:56] Reception123: ^ [12:55:07] already dealt with [12:55:31] Ty [12:56:02] Reception123's arrival was well-opportuned. [13:23:41] @dmehus [13:32:28] @Joey_Coconut is there any reason why you pinged Dmehus? If it's for the spammer I've dealt with them already [13:39:13] I hadnt realized the pong would go through as i dont have a tag attached. Spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure how to, thank you for notifying me that worked [13:41:25] it actually didn't because dmehus|away is his current IRC nick and Discord is @Doug, but now my comment has pinged him :) [13:41:58] Back in april, I had talked with Doug the duplicate 2b2t wiki, called 2b2tuc. The 2b2tuc wiki is still around and has resumed duplicating the contents housed on the 2b2t wiki. When we talked in April, Doug said they had lied on their wikirequest form, and that a discussion would occur with other stewards. As the wiki is still up I don't think this took place but I have no way of knowing. The owner of the 2b2tuc wiki has been [13:41:59] harassing myself individually, and the 2b2t wiki staff as a group, while copypasting content originating on the 2b2t wiki to his. Really need some guidance and help here. [13:42:19] Oh theyre 1 in the same, I had not realized [13:46:15] I see, I'm sorry about that 😦 It's no excuse but the sad truth is we have very few stewards so that is likely why the discussion was omitted. When I see either of them I'll let them know but if not feel free to ping again in a day or two [13:46:44] While I myself am a Global Sysop I don't have the power to close a wiki, otherwise I'd look into it myself [13:47:03] I know how it is bro, only have a few staff for our wiki, same stuff, different day [13:47:38] yeah, we've got 3 stewards for ~4000 wikis [13:47:45] and 5 system administrators, so really not ideal [13:49:49] I appreciate that, thank you <3 [13:49:50] Oh damn yeah that's tough [13:49:50] Aaaaand my wifis crapping out these messages will be out of place when they finally drop 😩 [13:52:04] no problem, hopefully a Steward will get to it this weekend [14:47:53] dmehus: well, I thought about two other ways to get news: [14:48:39] 1) create a "Blog:"/"News:" namespace on-wiki, so the posts (which would be articles) could be created by a specific selected group. [14:49:18] 2) get a wordpress installation somewhere. But I think this is a bit overkill [14:51:52] I just use a simple "news" page that I add to time to time [16:03:10] hi [16:03:20] @dmehus can you give me an update? [17:41:43] by the way, does anyone have a nice upload gadget (or just code)? One specifically that I can set a file extension [17:42:23] I still don't know much how to work with MW's API for this. And unfortunately, PageForms' upload field is not suitable for me [17:42:51] do you mean like a script or bot that uploads files? [17:43:37] just a script I have a form to create pages about midi files, and I would like to upload just midi for that form [17:43:57] (with that I could just parse the path of the uploaded file to the form and load everything normally) [17:44:30] with PageForms' uploadable field, it just opens Special:Upload [17:45:05] how about putting all midi's into a folder and using MsUpload to upload them all? [17:46:25] well, the problem is that users will be only using the PageForms' forms [17:46:45] the upload field the extension provides works, but I can't set a specific file extension there [17:47:30] i see [17:47:32] hmm [17:51:25] Hello. In our wiki at tuscriaturas and yourcreatures, we would like to use a bot to clean up redirected categories and put the stuff in the real category (since category redirects aren't fully supported in mediawiki) I have found bot scripts able to do just that https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/category_redirect.py [17:51:26] [url] Manual:Pywikibot/category redirect.py - MediaWiki | www.mediawiki.org [17:52:01] However, the pywiki bot implementation, though pending, is frozen on phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115305 Would it be hard to enable the bot? [17:52:03] [url] ⚓ T115305 Add miraheze support for Pywikibot | phabricator.wikimedia.org [17:57:23] you can add wikis onto pywikibot that aren't wikimedia wikis, that's what I use, just run 'python3 pwb.py generate_family_files' [18:09:08] Do you run it locally on PC or online on Toolforge? [18:13:08] I use the Pywikibot to archive pages, and I run it on PC [18:13:13] I've run it on both and you can do it on there [18:15:14] If you check the contributions of ChiBot on FAMEPedia you'll see the edits I used the Bot to make.

[20:36:46] k6ka: according to my new icinga alert thesimswiki.com isn't using a CNAME to mw-lb.miraheze.org [20:37:20] You'll have to ask MrC regarding things like domain names and such for the wiki, since he's the one who set it up for us. [20:38:45] k6ka: where's best to contact them [20:38:54] Right here on IRC. They're in this channel. [20:42:02] MrC: hi [23:17:07] RhinosF1: One apparent limitation to DNS is that for the root, if you use a CNAME for that, you lose the ability to have any other DNS records, that's why. So instead, specifying one more IPs to one or more cp is what's needed. [23:23:44] hmm, that's a bit tricky, given that this means that if the CP you're pointing to goes down, so does the site
