[01:43:46] Mediawiki help seems to indicate I would need access to LocalSettings.php, which is consistent with my past experience [01:52:32] Protected: ManageWiki allows you to change mist settings in your wiki. See [[ManageWiki]] for more info [01:52:32] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/ManageWiki [01:52:32]

If something can't be changed in ManageWiki, most things we can add custom configuration for your wiki to LocalSettings.php, it just requires a Phabricator ticket. [05:17:04] [tell] dmehus: 2021-08-09 - 15:22:07UTC tell dmehus [[Special:CentralAuth/JacksonS2021]] https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Anhedonia_Productions&oldid=90195 https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Anhedonia_Productions&oldid=120200 Could you check these 2 sockpuppets out? They most certainly appear to be overlapping on one of the pages, picking up where Jackson's In The Mix has left off on [05:17:04] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/JacksonS2021 [05:17:04] [tell] dmehus: 2021-08-09 - 15:52:44UTC tell dmehus previous tell was from DarkMatterMan (not MH-Discord as it will say) [05:17:06] [tell] dmehus: 2021-08-10 - 00:35:00UTC tell dmehus Command, Hollywood, Fireworks and Ultimate are all locked, as they were confirmed to have been behaving similarly, along with other behavioral evidence.

[06:20:03] Hello McDutchie! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon. [12:51:49] So I'm curious, would anyone know how to stop the extension BlogPage from adding a date category automatically on page creation? The associated mediawiki page and repository pages have been incredibly unhelpful in finding a lead, and I'm hoping it's not something that would boil down to a phab task to manually change. [14:36:26] Who appoints system reliability engineers? [14:41:48] @el komodos drago https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Tech:Appointment_and_revocation_policy [14:41:49] [url] Tech:Appointment and revocation policy - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [14:42:04] Thanks [15:09:38] Are accounts shared between wikis? [15:12:48] Yeah [15:15:48] So what is effectively the meaning of removing the create account permissions from *? [15:15:58] What does that do? [15:17:01] I don't mind if all users can have accounts; ideally they can have accounts for their own settings, probably also talk access; I just want to gate actual page edits behind some sort of approval process by administrators [15:17:58] Continuation of https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/435711390544560128/876610470654668830 [15:17:59] [url] Discord | discord.com [15:18:08] One way or the other unregistered users can not create accounts?? Which is strange [15:18:24] They can't? [15:18:55] In a regular public wiki, unregistered users can register their own accounts [15:19:05] I'm new to miraheze [15:19:15] What is the typical account creation flow here? [15:19:21] They'll have to request the account to be created by anyone with the createaccount right [15:19:46] So there's no way for a user to create their own account, even with an extension? [15:20:12] That's if you remove the createaccount userright from the * user group [15:20:24] Why not? Users can create account [15:20:51] I'm only answering your question [15:21:23] Normally any one can create accounts [15:23:28] Oh, got it [15:23:45] But you also said accounts are shared across wikis [15:24:03] If I remove the create account permission from * in my wiki, can a user go to another miraheze wiki, create an account there and then use it in my wiki? [15:24:49] Ohhhh funny enough, this is correct. [15:25:10] Alright, then I probably don't want to use this method to restrict edits [15:25:25] You want to restict edits? [15:26:05] Ideally I want everyone to have an account if they want, but edits to actual pages (not talk pages, anyone can use those) to require manual approval of the account by an administrator (for example by changing it to another type of account) [15:26:57] I was looking into account creation restriction until now so I haven't explored whether this is possible yet [15:28:06] Hm, groups [15:29:15] Ok, this looks easy [15:29:29] Is there a specific permission for editing talk pages? [15:29:55] You might need to protect the pages. It'll work like, Protect page "Protected" against users that are not in the "Autoconfirmed" user group Then when a user is promoted to autoconfirmed they can now have access to editing page "Protected" [15:30:25] There isn't a specific permission for editing talk pages apparently > You can't do it out of the box since MediaWiki treats editing a Talk page the same as editing any other page in the wiki [15:31:46] I'll request the extension that does this through phabricator, I believe that's the procedure [15:32:07] What extension? [15:34:19] TalkRight [15:34:27] Just sent the ticket [15:39:16] Are all rights/permissions non-overlapping? [15:41:06] Ok, this is well explained here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#List_of_permissions [15:41:06] [url] Manual:User rights - MediaWiki | www.mediawiki.org [15:54:05] I imagine adding new extensions to the dropdown in media settings is also a new ticket [15:54:17] *file extensions [15:58:20] Do you mean being able to upload some file extensions that are currently not available? [15:59:22] Correct [16:08:52] You can do that in Special:ManageWiki/settings#mw-section-media Then you scroll to find File Extensions ($wgFileExtensions) [16:09:12] There you can select the file extension from the list you want and then save. [16:13:16] Yes, but I need to add new extensions to the list [16:13:19] The ones I want aren't there [16:13:51] Like which ones? [16:14:00] Another question, how can I actually use the new group I created? It's greyed out in Special:UserRights [16:14:01] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/435711390544560128/876861359889989712/unknown.png [16:14:39] Another question, how can I actually use the new group I created? It's greyed out in Special:UserRights [16:14:40] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/435711390544560128/876861522847088640/unknown.png [16:14:46] (better screenshot) [16:15:22] The extensions I'd like to use are .tga images and some 3D model stuff like .fbx [16:15:50] Go to Special:ManageWiki/permissions/bureaucrat#mw-section-group Look for the user group there and check it appropriately as wanted. [16:16:53] Aha! Hadn't found that tab yet. Thanks! [16:18:04] Oh yeah. [16:19:46] Phabricator it is [16:19:51] Thanks for all the help btw [16:25:58] No prblms.
