[07:00:43] i have this server where we all pick countries and we act out stuff as those countries (declare war, etc.) would that fall under Political simulation wiki? [07:06:34] yes [07:06:47] alright, thanks [07:07:43] just put a request in [07:08:51] Approved, thank you for choosing Miraheze! [07:09:21] thanks :) i've used Miraheze in the past, so I'm familiar with it now [07:09:41] awesome, we're here though if you need anything [12:12:53] question: if i create pages then admin imports xml from fandom would the xml replace the edits on pages that have the same name? [12:13:09] i ask because the admin of a wiki i edit in on fandom made a wiki in mh but he literalyl did nothing else [12:13:24] so idk if he's trying to import xml (it's a 7k page wiki so it might take long) [12:13:32] or is he's just lazy/doesn't care [12:13:43] because i want to edit in the wiki [12:13:56] but i am wary of what would happen if xml is edited [12:14:08] because i don't want the edits to be reverted [13:48:18] Is it possible to change the color of the textboxes, or buttons? [13:49:08] because I would like everything to fit my theme [14:08:58] No, your edits won't be overridden unless you updated the fandom version of any page after you edited the Miraheze version. The newest version always takes precedent. [14:09:20] It is, using CSS [14:20:50] ah okay, thanks [14:22:34] One of my admins asks: You can do custom css for yourself, but can you also just edit an existing style and upload it without third party intervention? [14:26:29] You can always copy CSS from another place and paste it onto your wiki, yes [14:29:01] I think they want to know whether we can add new skins without opening a ticket [14:29:20] oh, new skins [14:29:39] Or modify the css of an existing skin in such a way that it's available for all users [14:29:54] If the skin isn't in Special:ManageWiki/extensions -> Skins, then you will have to file a task to have the skin installed [14:30:15] To modify the CSS throughout your wiki, just edit MediaWiki:Common.css [14:31:42] Forwarded that response, thanks [14:37:43] Does the script recommended in https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Backups/en#Local_backups keep references to user accounts, even if it doesn't keep the accounts themselves? If I wanted to import the backup data elsewhere outside miraheze, would the result look consistent? [14:37:44] [url] Backups - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [14:39:03] I would suggest using Special:DataDump to generate a backup but it all depends on whether the account exists on the new wiki or not. If not, the account will probably look like imported>User in the history tab [14:39:30] I need something I can automate using a cron job [15:16:24] I wonder if it would be best for all the similar conversations on the Stewards' noticeboard (those who have seen it know what I mean) to be funneled into one topic, and anything else closed to point that way. [15:17:02] And community board while I think of it [15:17:03] In that case, WikiTeam's tool is fine, only issue is that it requires python2.7 which is old [15:45:11] A channel for downloading the backups that are already created internally might be interesting/easier/less resource intensive/yield better results [16:05:25] DataDump should soon be getting an interface with the MediaWiki API. If you're familiar with that, it might be easier to work with than the alternatives. [16:12:24] Only from what I read earlier, but great! Thanks for the information [16:18:30] Wow [18:50:55] I was wondering, would custom emails be possible to set up if you have a custom domain? (e.g. instead of emails coming from noreply@miraheze.org, emails could come from wiki@example.com or whatever). [18:50:56] Not that I want such a setup but I'm asking because I've never seen anyone ask and I don't know how to respond if someone were to ask that. [23:57:01] We're having issues with a persistent vandal who is evading locks everytime.
