[00:48:25] Making a better hub of individual wikis could make a better feeling that Miraheze is growing [00:51:21] What do you mean by hub of individual wikis? [01:18:57] What would be the point of a hub anyway? [01:29:26] I think the wiki gazetter or wiki discover are not showing the activity of Miraheze. Cocopuff said in his comment that Miraheze seems empty just because one wiki seens Empty [01:30:42] Ah. Well, I think the gazetteer is ineffectual and I'd like to propose its removal, but I've been a bit lazy about doing so. [01:31:07] I'd say at least the right search options for WikiDiscover tell a different story, but again, the right search options and it's not as well advertised as it could be. [01:31:38] If you have thoughts for how a different hub would work, no harm in telling; even if they aren't feasible they could lead to something else useful [02:03:00] We hit 300K users in 6 years yet [04:59:19] Something showing the most active (by unique users perhaps) wikis might be useful re: the above [05:14:14] To add: I clicked on one wiki in the Gazetter (https://futurehistory.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) and saw it had no articles apart from the homepage [05:14:17] [url] Future History | futurehistory.miraheze.org [06:58:19] Please prevent Agent from minting any Miraheze NFTs [06:58:35] Too late [06:58:50] First Meta edit will be turned into an NFT :P [07:31:50] > lolol [07:32:13] > lolol [10:33:28] lol [10:50:29] In the spirit of the community noticeboard post and the good faith as well as insight displayed theirin, I will be sincere with the community and declare upon achieving greater rights that I shall immediately mint NFTs based on the avatars of prominent mirahezians and sell them to the wikimedia foundation [10:51:05] so as to catch up and innovate with good business principle and bring critical ambient income to the platform [11:42:30] yea [17:08:59] I was mentioned in a conversation in Meta. Is so long that i don't see what is the topic of the conversation. Other people where pinged too. Someone knows of what conversation on meta.miraheze.org i am talking about? [17:09:29] I think YellowFrogger mass pinged a few WCs and then undid his ping [17:14:37] I have thoughts about anything. I have a vivid imagination. But from imagination to doing something is a long gap. [17:15:35] I entered a few minutes ago and the mentions are still there [17:46:42] Oh of course, but an idea known has some greater chance of being followed upon :p [17:47:04] YellowFrogger undid the post, then it was restored, removed, and restored yet again. [17:48:01] Ok. If my comment is needed again just tell me [17:52:00] My idea is to make a "Portal" in wiki terminology. With rosters or rankings of things. And also, some statistics that you don't see in statistics, like: "Gold obtained by players" (joke 😄 ) And also, "wikis created" , "articles created this month within miraheze as a whole" etc. Having the magic to sum up the works of many wikis makes the bigger sum to be more remarkable. And also is a more stable growth. If some [17:52:00] wiki takes a break from editing during a month, other mirahezians might take that month as a marathon of editing and the global name keeps being a big name. [17:53:44] For example. If someone reads a number: 1234556 edits were made this month, that person can't doubt there is activity [17:54:25] Sounds like a spruced up front page [17:55:23] For starters it would be interesting to know what the leaders are and where that division breaks down, I imagine only sre would truly be privy to that though there are some numbers for wiki size and so forth [17:56:03] I like the idea of both promoting our 'flagship' wikis and taking the time to identify and promote up and coming wikis for whatever aspects they're particularly notable in [17:56:37] Though for me it's about promoting the broader concepts than just the numbers as initially suggested; of course it takes more work to curate at the level of detail I'm spitballing [18:01:53] Yes [18:02:17] I like the idea of doing the numbers for all of Miraheze [18:02:45] The roster is already present at Gazeteer so i ported the idea from that [18:03:10] But for "pages created" , "wikis created" etc is as a whole [18:03:30] In no other wiki you can see how many wikis were created [18:05:08] And for pages, putting " 12345 pages were made this month " is a number that is as a whole; and is not divided by wiki, so it gives the impression all the community contributed to that [23:47:21] hi there, is there any way i can embed images from another site like a Github pages without having to manually reupload all of them? sorry im really new to this [23:50:08] There are tools to help automate large numbers of uploads -- either directly to your wiki, to Miraheze Commons, or to Wikimedia Commons (depending on the licensing of the files, whether you want them to be widely available, and finally by usefulness to people outside your wiki): [23:50:09] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_tools#Standalone_desktop_applications [23:50:10] [url] Commons:Upload tools - Wikimedia Commons | commons.wikimedia.org [23:51:08] ahh, i see. but i would still have to reupload each time i make a change to an image, right? [23:52:26] I see, yes; it wouldn't be in synch with the source unless you set up a schedule to check or a pipeline of some sort. There may be a way to link directly but I'll defer to someone with more knowledge about that. [23:53:02] im asking because i have a map stored on a github that i usually make changes to a few times a month, and i'd hate to have to manually update it hah [23:55:11] you could use https://github.com/kaleidawave/pywikipedia to upload images to a mediawiki [23:55:12] [url] GitHub - kaleidawave/pywikipedia: UNMAINTAINED: The only python wikipedia package you will ever need | github.com [23:55:29] and have the script run triggered by a post-commit hook or something [23:56:17] oh that sounds, great! thank you
