[00:16:31] wikis had a quick 504 not found [04:10:40] Hello LRF! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon. [04:11:27] Cannot create account. First time using website and this is what I got when creating account. [04:11:30] Warning: This action has been automatically identified as harmful. Unconstructive edits will be quickly reverted, and egregious or repeated unconstructive editing will result in your account or IP address being blocked. If you believe this action to be constructive, you may submit it again to confirm it. A brief description of the abuse rule which [04:11:30] your action matched is: Anti-spambot creation [04:12:08] LRF: Please send an email to cvt {{@}} miraheze.org and ask them to create an account for you.

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:@ [04:12:11] [url] Template:@ - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [06:01:52] @Agent can't that message that's sent to them also include this "drop off a mail to cvt@miraheze.org for account creation"? [06:02:05] I seriously hate this AF [06:42:40] We can't unfortunately due to the way AbuseFilter is designed [06:45:58] Agent: it might be possible with a MirahezeMagic i18n override, I just don't want what message that would be. [06:47:07] Ah [06:47:49] It's freaking annoying and would drive newbies away, I believe it's already happening [06:47:50] CosmicAlpha: I've thought about a MirahezeMagic override but I was told it's not possible to set custom messages for the AbuseFilter globally though I don't know if perhaps it's a different case on the login screen vs AF warnings when editing/doing other actions. [06:49:04] Agent: I'm guessing the message is a standard i18n message, with $1 for the filter name, though now that I think about it doing that would make the message for all abuse filters, so probably wouldn't work. [06:49:36] Ah [06:50:00] We may be able to do an override specifically if $1 == something but that's when it becomes more complicated [06:50:41] Or even using #if parser function in a message override, if the message is parsable. [06:53:11] a little note under login form tho? just temporarily, until the bugs are fixed [06:53:34] That might not be a bad idea either. [06:53:48] "if you are getting problem w/ account creation" etc [06:56:06] Yeah, I just need to find if there's a hook to use to add something there, or if an existing message to override to append that. Not sure if there is. [08:52:37] Hello SuperYowza! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon. [09:04:11] Hey can somebody help me with something? [09:05:26] Hello SuperYowza72! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon. [09:06:59] Oh woops, I guess I duplicated this chat room in another tab, my bad. [09:08:56] SuperYowza: what do you need help with? [10:05:21] if I perform replacetext - they will appear as edits in history/RC? - the entire process can be rolled back in case of bad outcome? [10:07:00] Yes and not nicely [14:05:54] Since it's a bit messy to present global policies to people, I wonder if there would be value to creating a page that gives a blanket overview about global policies, particularly linking to each one, giving a brief description and noting who enforces them [14:06:46] I'd find such a page much more useful than perusing [[Category:Global policies]], which also dumps all translated pages to you at once and does not offer the context clues I mention above. [14:06:46] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Global_policies [14:06:46]

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Global_policies [14:06:47] [url] Category:Global policies - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [14:39:52] true [14:40:09] @Lake Joseph windowswiki dropped and deleted? [14:40:33] Reset, at the very least [14:41:53] haven't checked yet, but I requested just to reset the wiki [14:42:17] though I don't know if I will be active on the wiki right now because I got some other urgent things to do these days [14:42:18] I saw dropped and deleted on #miraheze-sre-relay [14:42:35] oh nice [14:43:09] I thought you adopted it? [14:45:39] I did [14:45:59] I'm saying just that I can't start doing things on the wiki right now because I'm busy with other things [14:46:01] It is reset [14:46:07] Just went to the domain :p [14:46:20] wonder if I can snipe the first edit [14:50:07] Okay [14:50:17] lol [17:00:26] i agree. Global policy can be too much for newcomers. [17:06:53] I've seen at least one wiki farm where 'a bit much' can definitely be said >.> [17:07:13] I think in this case it's just unclear what they are at a glance and takes a bit more effort than needed to become truly familiar with the ones to know. [17:07:55] Nonsense, if anything, we should have more global policies :red_angry_face: [17:08:12] Take inspiration from AmazingWikis, then [17:08:17] They have a policy for just about anything [17:09:03] huh [17:09:05] whoa [17:09:17] lol their RC is full of them just updating or changing policies [17:11:37] lmao [17:14:57] Yes. [17:15:36] Probly 50,000 words or more of rules
