[00:00:18] [discord] the ext. requires `managewiki-restricted` permissions to enable [00:00:23] [discord] which only SRE/stewards have [00:00:33] [discord] Miraheze's Cargo is at version 3.4-alpha, the last update done to it was like 1 week ago which bumped the version to 3.4 [00:00:52] [discord] ah [00:00:56] [discord] maybe someone should update it [00:01:09] [discord] it's not terribly outdated is my point [00:01:20] [discord] isn't 1 week the newest update [00:01:27] [discord] 1 week is all things considered brand-new [00:01:50] [discord] oh i see [00:01:52] [discord] we actually got cargo before it was restricted lol [00:01:57] [discord] ah [00:01:59] [discord] makes sense [00:50:23] [discord] T10353 [01:11:06] Why is this so zoomed in? [01:11:08] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/KvrDWUw6/image.png [01:11:20] Here is a usable version: https://worldtrigger.miraheze.org/wiki/Welcome_to_the_World_Trigger_Wiki?safemode=1 [03:12:15] [discord] is it possible to make the audio file show as a playable file directly from the infobox? [03:12:15] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068005421836668968/image.png [03:22:18] [discord] I believe that requires the timed media handler extension under Manage Extensions > Media Handlers [03:24:43] [discord] Anyway for me to change the font of my wiki? [03:24:58] [discord] Like, to Times New Roman [03:25:26] [discord] nope, not working :/ [03:25:34] [discord] Because Arial just looks weird with the wiki skin I have [03:29:16] [discord] Hmmm, just tested it with a sample ogg file on my wiki without issue... [03:29:28] [discord] Maybe try clearing page cache under more > Purge? [03:30:11] [discord] I'd also recommend testing out the commons example file to make sure it's not just unique to the file you uploaded... [03:30:12] [discord] [[File:Example.ogg]] [03:30:12] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Example.ogg [03:30:13] [discord] [03:30:17] [url] File:Example.ogg - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [03:30:52] [discord] oh there we go it's now working, i swear it wasnt working after purging before lmao [03:30:58] [discord] thank you for ur assistance! [03:31:21] [discord] No worries! It can also sometimes take a bit for extensions to fully establish themselves after enabling. [03:43:07] [discord] Alright so how do I change the default font for my wiki? [03:43:16] [discord] Arial doesn't look good with the Anisa skin [03:45:50] [discord] Example CSS: [03:45:51] [discord] ```#content { [03:45:53] [discord] font-family: 'Times New Roman'; [03:45:54] [discord] }``` [03:46:04] [discord] Where do I put it? [03:46:31] [discord] You can test it out on the skin you're working on by going to preferences > Appearance, then clicking the custom CSS option for your skin [03:47:05] [discord] Once you're happy with it, you can make it apply for all users by putting it into MediaWiki:Anisa.css or for every single skin with MediaWiki:Common.css [03:47:22] [discord] Which one? [03:47:22] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068014258153078864/image.png [03:48:06] [discord] Or this? [03:48:07] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068014445193859092/image.png [03:48:14] [discord] The ones badly circled here are skin-specific: [03:48:14] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068014476223332382/image.png [03:48:20] [discord] Alright [03:48:41] [discord] The ones you initially screenshotted below apply to all skins on your wiki or on EVERY wiki you visit [03:49:17] [discord] But any changes made in this zone only apply to you. [03:49:26] [discord] So what do I do to make it apply to my entire wiki for the Anisa skin? [03:50:14] [discord] To test this out on your personal view, you would add the supplied script to the Custom CSS link on the same line as the Anisa skin on your preferences. [03:50:38] [discord] If you want it to apply to all users who visit and are viewing your wiki via the Anisa skin, that's going to be via MediaWiki:Anisa.css [03:50:52] [discord] I've found that Georgia works better than TNR for ease of reading yet still keeping the stye [03:51:21] [discord] Alright so how do I access that? [03:51:46] [discord] https://.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Anisa.css [03:51:56] [discord] Thank you [03:52:25] [discord] No problem. Anything mentioned starting with Special: or MediaWiki: uses this same sort of syntax. [03:52:59] [discord] In case other folks are helping you down the line and use the same sort of references. [03:53:10] [discord] So I'd paste in this to it? [03:53:11] [discord] [03:53:12] [discord] #content { [03:53:13] [discord] font-family: 'Georgia'; [03:53:15] [discord] } [03:53:57] [discord] Yep, that should do it I believe. There's more complicated stuff for importing fonts that don't exist natively, but hopefully that one should. [03:54:13] [discord] Yeah I have no use for importing a custom font [03:56:53] [discord] Need to step away for the night, but hopefully our CSS volunteers can assist if you run into any further issues [04:00:34] [discord] Is the site back up? [04:02:17] [discord] Which site? This is the server for the wikihost Miraheze. We host over 6k wikis. [04:04:59] [discord] drawnfeet.miraheze.org/wiki [04:07:58] [discord] Still offline due to copyright complaints, the administrators have 60 days to sort it out. [04:08:18] [discord] (To my current understanding, I'm not involved in that action) [04:27:57] [discord] is creating wikis like lyricwiki allowed? [04:31:10] [discord] Pretty sure lyricwiki died off due to licensing issues [04:31:21] [discord] so probably not [04:40:56] [discord] aw man [05:01:46] [discord] but there are still wikis around that are about a certain genre of music (like pop, jpop, or music producer wikis etc) how come they didn't die? [05:18:16] [discord] SPcodex wiki states that lyrics are adapted from audios by editors (so I decided to go w/ this on my music related wiki too) [05:18:17] [discord] also fair dealing/use + putting all the info on images, copyrights [05:18:19] [discord] idk what was the exact issue w/ lyrics wiki tho [05:22:41] [discord] just so you know [05:22:45] [discord] replies arent relayed to IRC [05:22:52] [discord] well the contents are [05:22:59] [discord] but the message they're in reply to isn't [05:23:09] [discord] oh thanks I didn’t know what to do [05:23:12] [discord] if you want someone on IRC to understand what you're saying, include a quote for who you reply to [05:23:22] [discord] np its fine [05:26:34] [discord] speaking of lyrics wiki, and at this point separate lyrics site, - why the always they make pages for instrumental tracks just to put only "this track is instrumental" sentence [05:30:08] [discord] also - it seems like in general artists don't care about fan sites nowadays, and even fan pages/groups in social media [05:30:08] [discord] but if big company, like really huge record label, notice something related to their biggest artists, then there's a risk to get wrecked by their complaints [05:30:25] [discord] well sometimes i've searched up the lyrics to a song [05:30:32] [discord] but didnt realize it was an instrumental [05:30:40] [discord] how tho [05:30:47] [discord] bc i saw someone mention it somewhere [05:31:00] [discord] and got curious about the song lyrics [05:31:37] [discord] a track can bearked as instrumental in general artist/album page, instead of breeding pointless pages [05:32:01] [discord] i dont always search the track [05:32:03] [discord] i search for [05:32:04] [discord] the song [05:32:31] [discord] and you didn't listen the song before looking for lyrics? [05:34:15] [discord] correct [05:34:17] [discord] addition to this is the fact that there's like 7? wikis closed due to copyrights [05:34:18] [discord] but two of them are of unusual purposes, to say so, and one might think that copyright isn't the *real* reason [05:34:37] [discord] i usually look up song lyrics before listening to new non-autoplay songs [05:34:46] [discord] for a while i would just play whatever [05:34:47] [discord] but [05:34:58] [discord] it would usually lead to me playing some garbage that wanted to blow my speakers out [05:35:03] [discord] with some idiot shouting [05:35:10] [discord] so i prefer to look up [05:35:14] [discord] what the song is about first [05:36:01] [discord] lol [05:36:46] [discord] yep 👍 lmao [05:42:12] [discord] should i... try again to ping them or is that too much lol [05:44:11] [discord] up to you [05:44:28] [discord] idek who to ping when i type the name nothing comes up [05:44:31] [discord] i ping site reliability engineering whenever a single wiki is offline and i ping stewards for every permissions issue and have had no problems so far [05:44:41] [discord] you would need to just mention their irc username [05:44:43] [discord] oops that wasnt supposed to be a reply 💀 [05:44:52] [discord] because they're on another site (irc instead of discord)) [05:44:57] [discord] ohhh ok [05:45:03] [discord] ye lo [05:46:34] [discord] like @Naleksuh this? also the screenshot you have is strange because only the cosmos skin should be enabled on the wiki and that isn't it, hence the layout being broken. btw the task number is T10353 [05:46:52] Why on Earth would you only enable one skin [05:46:56] What a horrible thing to do [05:47:07] [discord] so that the CSS doesn't break [05:47:10] [discord] there might be two enabled [05:47:28] Just move common.css to cosmos.css [05:47:33] Then the CSS won't "break" on Monobook [05:47:52] [discord] i have only one skin enabled personally [05:47:58] [discord] but i dont want people to use monobook it screws with the other parts of the wiki styling [05:48:00] [discord] on my wiki [05:48:01] [discord] we have a lot of tables [05:49:16] [discord] hmm [05:49:17] And I don't want to use that awful Cosmos skin [05:49:21] [discord] thats not a horrible thing to do. a website has a design for a reason [05:49:24] Don't tell other people how THEY operate THEIR browsers [05:49:25] [discord] i have modified it its fantastic [05:50:00] [discord] naleksuh i cant tell if you're joking or not [05:50:03] [discord] okay but like you arent entitled to multiple wiki skins on a website thats not how browsing works. its not your website [05:50:19] [discord] you insist that message deletion is terrible because its apparently deleting someone's hard drive against their will or whatever [05:50:25] [discord] indeed dusty is correct [05:50:28] Actually that's why multiple skins exist [05:50:33] [discord] wiki admins [05:50:34] [discord] choose [05:50:39] [discord] what skins to use [05:50:50] [discord] managewiki does not stop you from enabling only one [05:50:56] [discord] i understand its nice to have the option of multiple skins but its not something you should expect on every website it is a luxury [05:50:58] [discord] no provision of the content policy or terms of use do either [05:51:18] [discord] i havent written 7300 lines of modified cosmos CSS for people to go on our wiki and use a different skin [05:51:19] I'm not sure why you think it's a "luxury". All wikis except yours do it [05:51:22] Actually, all wiki included yours [05:51:30] [discord] Orrr you disable all the other skins that look "bad" because you didn't style them like the others [05:51:35] So you'll just break other skins? [05:51:48] [discord] > [irc] I'm not sure why you think it's a "luxury". All wikis except yours do it [05:51:48] [discord] my wiki also does it [05:51:53] Instead of breaking the other skins, use the cosmos CSS for cosmos [05:52:05] [discord] *except mine [05:52:12] [discord] i.e., mine has only 1 skin [05:52:14] [discord] i doubt that you've visited every miraheze wiki without exception [05:52:57] [discord] I think its a luxury because im literally a web designer [05:53:14] [discord] but please tell me how me doing my job in a perfectly acceptable way is a horrible thing to do [05:53:43] You aren't designing your own web site. You're modifying already existing stuff [05:53:59] [discord] I mean it doesn't make a difference whether or not it's in cosmos or common if there's supposed to be only one skin used [05:54:02] [discord] naleksuh insists that really anything you make that doesnt let the user have complete control is a terrible violation of your "freedom" or "rights" [05:54:09] Wikis have skins for a reason. Infact, one of the main advantages of Miraheze is that it doesn't force you to use a skin like Fandom does [05:54:18] [discord] actually [05:54:25] [discord] which part of the terms of use or content policy [05:54:30] [discord] forbid you from enabling only one skin [05:54:34] [discord] this is such a strange hill to die on [05:54:37] [discord] i've read them and see nothing against it [05:54:44] [discord] managewiki also lets me do it [05:55:18] More like a strange hill for you. Why can't you just move your CSS to cosmos.css instead of insisting it break other skins just so you can insist everyone use one skin, defeating the purpose of skins even existing? [05:55:40] Just move common.css to cosmos.css. Two clicks helps everyone and doesn't hurt you even a little bit [05:56:08] [discord] ffs [05:56:18] [discord] because now they need to maintain code for other skins too [05:56:25] No, they don't [05:56:29] [discord] any JS or CSS feature has to work on all the skins now [05:56:32] [discord] oh really [05:56:34] No, it doesn't [05:56:37] [discord] since when did every skin have the same IDs, classes, and order [05:56:40] No need to "ffs" people [05:57:24] [discord] my styling is sitewide. it does mobile responsiveness. it manages how tables are displayed. we have so many tables [05:57:46] [discord] i cant divorce it from skin specific styling [05:58:07] I just told you how you can do it in less than a minute [05:58:28] [discord] what im saying is if i get rid of this css then on other skins mobile and tables wont work [05:58:51] OK? [05:59:04] [discord] naleksuh [05:59:06] [discord] with all due respect [05:59:11] [discord] this is a support channel [05:59:13] [discord] not a debate chanenl [05:59:24] [discord] i just wanted help with my domain... [05:59:29] It's a Miraheze channel [05:59:30] [discord] stop trying to convince people to do things certain ways [05:59:44] [discord] > Discussion and questions about Miraheze and MediaWiki. Don't ask to ask, just ask! Make sure your questions are sufficiently detailed, specific, and clear. [06:00:03] [discord] > i just wanted help with my domain... [06:00:04] [discord] yeah you cant get help here because naleksuh insists on derailing everything into a debate about freedmo [06:01:05] Collei your account is like a week old [06:01:17] No need for you to thrash people for not wanting others to change their skin [06:01:30] Or act like this is "everything" [06:01:49] [discord] oh whatever [06:01:58] [discord] ill talk about it later [06:08:25] It's still uncalled for whether it's now or later [06:08:31] Let's avoid talking about it at all [06:09:02] [discord] what should i do about my domain if anything [06:09:20] [discord] good question [06:09:46] @Dusty As long as your nameservers are set it's just the waiting game [06:12:34] [discord] ooh okay. thanks [06:37:06] [discord] just put code to Cosmos.css dude [06:37:07] [discord] it's not about luxury [06:37:08] [discord] some people hate custom designs and prefer default white stuff, some are colorblind and struggle w/ designated background/font colors [06:38:04] [discord] it's about accessibility [06:38:32] [discord] there's a reason why there are "web safe" CSS color codes [06:40:41] [discord] Is there no way to disable css in preferences [06:40:47] [discord] ah, forgot irc can't see replies [06:41:57] [discord] I can think only of personal css - and how do you get rid of all styling w/ it? that's a lot of stuff [06:44:14] [discord] Nah I mean bypass common and css altogether [06:45:01] [discord] Eg if you made vector have a neon green bg (please don't do that), can a reader disable that and use the default white? [06:45:20] [discord] idk about bypassing [06:45:53] [discord] one very cool coder guy over fandom himself only used his personal css w/ grey bg [06:46:10] [discord] and other mods [06:47:44] [discord] I mean you can "bypass" it by overriding it with your own person css [06:47:56] [discord] yeah, that the only way I know [06:48:26] [discord] but to "revert" to default would require counter every rule in common.css [06:53:48] [discord] Yeah but I'd have to know all of that. Suppose I visited a site on mobile and some styling breaks the page, I'd want to quickly toggle css off. It'd be even more of a chore to undo everything [06:54:31] [discord] Not that I've seen it yet, but it would be a nice to have [06:54:48] [discord] if there's no way to easily toggle off custom css, then that's a nice idea to make, like an extension [06:55:15] [discord] There is safemode but it also turns off js afaik [06:55:30] [discord] as action in url? [06:55:35] [discord] ah, js [06:55:39] [discord] sorry [06:55:50] [discord] Yea. `?safemode=1` I think? [06:56:08] [discord] Though it might turn off more than you want [06:56:38] [discord] yeah that's like, will be a lot of hussle to do that on every page lol [06:57:09] [discord] But if something really breaks, you should be contacting the admins of the site [06:57:29] [discord] and what if css is hard coded in js or module pages? [06:57:43] [discord] also TemplateStyles [06:57:48] [discord] man, that a lot [06:58:10] [discord] You coult use another skin if most styling is done in skin css I guess [06:58:56] [discord] yeah, the discussion started because the guy refuse to set skins that are different from default AND aren't styled [07:00:38] [discord] I suppose the bypass should function like MobileFrontend [07:01:07] [discord] absolutely abolishes styling from MW and TS pages [07:01:16] [discord] That said since `?safemode=1` exists, maybe there should be a toggle for enabling that, which would make it auto-apply and not have you to manually set it on every page [07:01:22] [discord] I think only on page HTML can get tru [07:01:53] [discord] ah yeah, like purge button + cookie setting :ThinkerMH: [07:04:23] [discord] Safe mode also disables js though [07:27:42] [discord] so like @SickDuck is it a sick duck (as in cool) or a sick duck (as in ill) [07:27:50] [discord] 😂 [07:28:02] [discord] Deff ill [07:28:03] [discord] that was a terrible joke my bad [07:28:15] [discord] I am extremely sleep deprived [07:28:19] [discord] ah [07:28:23] [discord] No worries [07:28:32] [discord] also, `/auth` would be helpful if you're a MH user [07:28:54] [discord] just type it anywhere and our good old friend @WikiAuthBot should be able to approve you for extended access [07:29:08] [discord] Alr did that, the bot sent a wierd private message [07:29:23] [discord] yup, just click the link there [07:29:33] [discord] it should redirect you to Miraheze Meta [07:29:37] [discord] and ask for OAuth approval [07:31:03] [discord] Yee, it's giving me an "application connection error" but I'll figure it out later [07:31:27] [discord] huh [07:31:34] [discord] if that continues let us know [07:31:40] [discord] weird [07:32:04] [discord] Yeah I'll try it again later, if it doesn't work I'll tell u [07:32:17] [discord] kk [07:32:50] [discord] Oh btw do you know of any server hosting clients that would support the mod, sorts like apex hosting, cuz I have been searching around and came up with nothing [07:33:30] [discord] what do you mean [07:34:55] [discord] also @NotAracham are you available to chat re: createwiki issues in a second [07:35:10] [discord] just have one thing to discuss if you're up for it [07:35:19] [discord] Like one of those monthly subscription servers [07:36:18] [discord] Yeah I just wanna find some way to host a server for the Better than adventures mod online rather than using my own device to host [07:37:08] [discord] explain this to me a bit more detailed since i'm afraid i don't quite understand [07:37:15] [discord] like a wiki for the mod? [07:40:59] [discord] Alright so for example if I would like to host a modern mod pack I'd go to apex hosting or any random hosting service and purchase a server with a set amount of ram for a monthly subscription to host said modpack, however with better than adventure its not like the other forge modpacks, so is there a similar hosting service you know about? [07:41:32] [discord] no i wouldn't, unfortunately. Miraheze only hosts wikis [07:41:43] [discord] so if you want a place to store info about your modpack, we're the place 🙂 [07:43:34] [discord] Oh my bad, I think I joined the wrong link on the servers site, see I'm reallyyy dumb and I thought this discord was related to the mod, but now I realized what's going on. This is related to the wiki not the mod [07:43:35] [discord] [07:43:36] [discord] My deepest apologies for wasting Ur time I genuinely didn't notice until now. I'm really sorry [07:43:58] [discord] it's all good, don't worry [07:44:04] [discord] Thx m8 [07:54:27] [discord] Don't feel dumb about that, you are certainly not the first to make that mistake, and I can guarantee you are not gonna be the last either 🙂 [08:59:22] [discord] Is there a way to mass-upload images? [09:00:36] [discord] https://github.com/Aspallar/Wiki-Up [09:00:37] [url] GitHub - Aspallar/Wiki-Up: Bulk file uploader for MediaWiki sites | github.com [09:28:31] [discord] The MsUpload extension has also been fixed, so you can use it [09:29:20] [discord] Really quick way to mass upload if you need to upload a bulk less than 100 images at once [09:30:00] [discord] Ah aight 👍 [09:30:06] [discord] yeah just need to upload a couple www [09:31:39] [discord] This seems like a nice heavier duty solution, thanks for sharing 👀 [09:32:44] [discord] MsUpload is easier then :pupCoffeeMH: enable it in ManageWiki and then you will be able to upload a bulk of files when editing a page (you don't need to actually save any edits). Make sure the filenames are already set [11:56:55] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068137457083752519/600cdce0213188024ddd7ee712b59dac.png [12:29:18] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068145606066970665/image.png [12:29:23] [discord] does create accounts prevents someone [12:29:27] [discord] from creating an account??? [12:29:30] [discord] im confused [13:05:08] [discord] Yes, giving someone the createaccount right let's them create an account [13:05:53] [discord] though usually the `*` or `user` group has it so it'd be redundant to give it to another group if one of them already has it as everyone inherits the right [13:09:50] [discord] Hola [13:09:56] [discord] Hola [13:10:26] [discord] Would this be the spot for support if i need help w a extension? e.e [13:10:51] [discord] The topic says yes [13:11:55] [discord] Ah ty, So Im kinda new to this wiki thing, and ive been working on this for like 4 hours, And i recently just aw the Portable InfoBoxes and is that like, A UI based? Or do I still need to go in and use scripting [13:12:57] [discord] It's a bit UI based. It has a UI that allows you to make an infobox but for more complex things, you'll need to use the source editor. [13:13:03] [discord] But PortableInfobox code is so easy [13:13:18] [discord] unlike a Wikipedia Lua Infobox which is like 10,000 lines for a simple box lol [13:13:31] [discord] Ah because I had uploaded it to my file manager, and then updated it but i dont seem to have any difference? [13:14:04] [discord] Nothing is different here [13:14:04] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068156873561346119/image.png [13:15:10] [discord] What do you mean by uploaded? Are you on a non-Miraheze wiki? [13:15:26] [discord] Uh prob? [13:15:39] [discord] Are you self-hosting is the question? [13:15:47] [discord] No im using a host [13:15:51] [discord] Is it Miraheze? [13:15:58] [discord] Not that ik of? [13:16:21] [discord] oh alright, it's because this is the server for Miraheze and we use ManageWiki to enable extensions so that threw me off [13:16:22] [discord] Anyhow [13:16:29] [discord] Ah okok [13:16:35] [discord] The portable infobox builder UI is available at Special:PortableInfoboxBuilder [13:16:41] [discord] It's not available in VisualEditor [13:16:50] [discord] how to get that? [13:17:07] [discord] Put `Special:PortableInfoboxBuilder` in the search bar and press enter [13:17:13] [discord] oH [13:17:21] [discord] its loading [13:18:24] [discord] Does it usually take this long to lad [13:18:27] [discord] load [13:20:17] [discord] If it's taking long to load, refresh [13:21:28] [discord] I feel like i didnt install it right, it still isnt [13:21:51] [discord] wfLoadExtension( 'PortableInfobox' ); was added too [13:22:04] [discord] That happens sometimes, it's not really an installation error but something that happens randomly on some browsers [13:22:36] [discord] Rip alr ty [13:22:42] [discord] Ill try on chrome and edge [13:26:37] [discord] Yea this dont like me fr [13:27:13] [discord] are you on Firefox? [13:27:26] [discord] I tried firefox, Edge, Chrome [13:27:30] [discord] All of them loading [13:27:40] [discord] hm [13:27:49] [discord] Right? [13:30:17] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068160953864171621/image.png [13:30:18] [discord] might be why [13:30:24] [discord] Im missing files I think? [13:43:29] [discord] No [13:44:05] [discord] That's quite strange. I'd say to just let them load. Sometimes it takes a while here on Miraheze but it usually resolves itself after a few minutes [13:44:13] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068164463024418856/image.png [13:44:16] [discord] yes? [13:44:18] [discord] am i missing anything [13:44:53] [discord] That's it [13:45:05] [discord] You can use that to generate an infobox [13:45:12] [discord] Alr, and to edit stuff do i do it in this one? or do i edit it in the page [13:46:37] [discord] That's used to generate an infobox. Once you make it, you'll have to edit it manually but you can use the existing code there as an example of how to do things [13:46:49] [discord] I put these in the LocalSettings? [13:46:50] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068165115519717376/image.png [13:47:06] [discord] Yes, if you need them [13:47:12] [discord] Ah alr thank u much [13:47:35] [discord] Do i include the (thing) [13:47:37] [discord] at the end [13:47:55] [discord] that's telling you what sort of values they accept [13:47:59] [discord] ah ok ty [13:48:02] [discord] so the first one only accepts an array [13:56:46] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068167618126680124/image.png [13:56:48] [discord] have you ever seen this [15:12:38] [discord] welcom [15:31:33] [discord] welcome to hell [15:31:35] [discord] jk [15:39:23] [discord] @Agent also i tired to add tome of the add ons and it did not like and make my site all white [15:39:58] [discord] What add ons did you try to add? [15:40:44] [discord] $wgAllInfoboxesSubpagesBlacklist [15:41:08] [discord] Paste what you added on LocalSettings.php [15:41:16] [discord] only that [15:41:28] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068193970380881950/image.png [15:41:47] [discord] oh [15:41:54] [discord] hm? [15:42:25] [discord] When you add a configuration variable, you also have to put what it'll equal to or else MediaWiki won't know what to do [15:42:35] [discord] uh? [15:43:00] [discord] For that, what you'd need to add for it to properly work is something around the lines of: [15:43:02] [discord] ```$wgAllInfoboxesSubpagesBlacklist => [ [15:43:03] [discord] 'value', [15:43:04] [discord] ];``` [15:43:05] [discord] I think [15:43:12] [discord] ill try [15:43:18] [discord] of course, change 'value' to whatever you want it to equal [15:43:37] [discord] ah [15:43:43] [discord] idk what i want it to = tho [15:44:00] [discord] Ya kno what nvm lmao [15:44:05] [discord] I have 0 clue what it does [15:44:13] [discord] If you don't need it then you should be fine by not defining it [15:44:28] [discord] I see the default values are "doc", "draft", and "test" [15:44:56] [discord] So, all im looking for is more options in he builder [15:45:01] [discord] does any of them do that [15:45:04] [discord] ah [15:45:13] [discord] Yeah no, nothing will offer more options in the builder [15:45:18] [discord] Ah okay [15:45:24] [discord] The builder is in beta so it has limited features [15:45:28] [discord] Oh alr thats fair ngl [15:48:54] [discord] Im so confused ngl [15:49:15] [discord] So i made a template with the builder, then tried to use it on a page, and its like blank [15:49:35] [discord] What did you place in the page? [15:49:44] [discord] i put {{ [15:49:50] [discord] then selected the template [15:50:08] [discord] oh [15:50:14] [discord] did you define any values? [15:50:22] [discord] i dont think i did smh [15:50:28] [discord] like {{Infobox whatever|value=example}}, etc [15:50:28] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_whatever [15:50:37] [discord] nope [15:50:38] [discord] rip. [15:51:00] [discord] You should define those values so that the infobox knows what you want to display [15:51:14] [discord] So do i do that in the builder yes? [15:51:38] [discord] In the builder, you put what fields you want and you name them [15:52:02] [discord] I think i get it [15:52:19] [discord] So im making a page about a new agency [15:52:19] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068196699153104916/image.png [15:52:22] [discord] So i would do [15:53:02] [discord] {{Infobox character [15:53:02] [discord] | Owner = [15:53:03] [discord] }} [15:53:05] [discord] ect? [15:53:07] [discord] Yes [15:53:12] [discord] bet ty [15:55:37] [discord] If i named the template "News" [15:55:43] [discord] What would i put on top? [15:55:54] [discord] {{Infobox News? or {{ News [16:01:56] [discord] Just News [16:04:54] [discord] And, im trying to put a image on it, but it doesnt like it? [16:06:41] [discord] welcom [16:10:41] [discord] Yea images are not working and idk why [16:23:25] [discord] how do you define images? [16:23:26] [discord] should be, example, `image=name.jpg` [16:24:44] [discord] On the other one, i have it so i put the file location in the box [16:25:21] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068205010380390511/image.png [16:25:22] [discord] Like here [16:25:46] [discord] But with defult, you have to put an actual file, which would apply to any other sub site using the same template [16:26:03] [discord] using VE hm [16:26:19] [discord] VE is out of my league cus I hate it lol [16:26:25] [discord] rip [16:29:03] [discord] Anyone know how to view your wikis view count? [16:32:07] [discord] Special:Analytics [16:32:54] [discord] And if you want more than that, you'll need to set up WikiSEO [16:33:25] [discord] Tuanks [16:33:25] [discord] @Agent would u know how to solve my issue? <3 [16:33:27] [discord] Thanks [16:35:23] [discord] ``` [16:35:24] [discord] "infobox-image">[[File:{{{image}}}|200px]] [16:35:24] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:%7bimage https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/File:%7b%7b%7bimage%7d%7d%7d [16:35:25] [discord]

[17:05:10] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068215033739345930/image.png [17:05:22] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068215081978056774/image.png [17:08:46] [discord] I should read about [17:08:50] [discord] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_documentation [17:08:50] [wikipedia] Wikipedia:Template documentation | "Templates are a very powerful feature of MediaWiki, but can be confusing to new users and even experienced users can have difficulty making sense of the more complex ones. Templates should therefore be accompanied by documentation to improve usability.Template documentation should explain what a template does and how to use it. It should be simple enough that a user without complete […]" [17:13:13] [discord] *Making* a template essentially always requires source-editing, since you're writing logic + wiki-script that doesn't play nicely with visual editor.. [17:13:58] [discord] Reading up on the documentation is never a bad idea, there's also our Miraheze template wiki, found here https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_Developers_Wiki [17:13:58] [url] Miraheze Developers Wiki | dev.miraheze.org [17:18:38] [discord] Yes I will write the base in source and edit the content in edit. [17:19:31] [discord] Do we always need to click preview change to view changes or can we see changes in real time parallel to our editor? [17:25:36] [discord] I don't know of a way to enable near-live preview like we have in replies on structured discussions, but agree that would be neat. [17:50:13] [discord] Is there anyway to have it so all edits need to be approved by an admin? [17:51:51] [discord] [[mw:Extension:Moderation]] comes to mind [17:51:51] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Moderation [17:51:52] [discord] [17:51:53] [url] Extension:Moderation - MediaWiki | www.mediawiki.org [17:53:15] [discord] i love u both [17:53:21] [discord] the bot and u [17:57:35] [discord] I tried to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Software_engineering [17:57:35] [wikipedia] Template:Software engineering | "" [17:58:42] [discord] However the result was this: [17:58:43] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068228507458601102/image.png [17:59:10] [discord] What is wrong? [18:02:49] [discord] That template you copied over requires additional templates to function [18:03:06] [discord] In this case, it needs Template:Navbox and Template:Documentation [18:03:40] [discord] Once you bring both of those over, you'll then start getting module errors for the modules you'll also need to bring over. [18:04:00] [discord] This is what is known as a 'dependency chain', and wikipedia templates generally have LOTS of dependencies. [18:04:14] [discord] Navbox stuff is usually pretty straightforward, thankfully. [18:04:15] [discord] cough fandom's navbox builder is easier/handier cough [18:04:29] [discord] anyone know abt this? [18:04:40] [discord] what exactly? [18:04:57] [discord] something in documentation confuses you? [18:05:03] [discord] im getting an error when i put the line into LocalSettings.php [18:05:20] [discord] ah right, you aren't on miraheze ... [18:05:24] [discord] yee... [18:05:34] [discord] sorri [18:05:34] [discord] have you checked the MediaWiki discord tho? [18:05:46] [discord] What error? [18:05:59] [discord] what did you add to LocalSettings.php [18:06:00] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068230340390424686/image.png [18:06:06] [discord] ah [18:06:07] [discord] wfLoadExtension( 'Moderation' ); [18:06:10] [discord] Did you run update.php? [18:06:13] [discord] how do u just fuckin know it [18:06:13] [discord] @Dearest Watch your language. [18:06:20] [discord] lol [18:06:21] [discord] How do i run that [18:06:34] [discord] Do you have command line access? [18:06:37] [discord] i should yes [18:06:56] [discord] Inside the mediawiki directory, run `php maintenance/update.php --quick` [18:07:17] [discord] alr uh gotta figure this out [18:07:30] [discord] you should be able to just paste that and it'll run [18:07:50] [discord] yea [18:08:52] [discord] Ah, i gotta use ssh onmy pc to open it thru cmd prompt [18:09:26] [discord] If you ever don't have shell access, you can also go to /mw-config/ on your wiki and run the web updater [18:09:36] [discord] It's just that the shell is quicker if you're already in there [18:10:43] [discord] Please don’t leave the web installer open on a public instance [18:11:43] [discord] aw little clock icon [18:12:12] [discord] Ya im confused. [18:13:04] [discord] Why [18:15:09] [discord] Idk if i can get it using cmd [18:15:10] This is a Miraheze channel [18:15:21] Let's discuss how to do maintenance on non-Miraheze wikis elsewhere [18:15:31] [discord] oop [18:15:40] [discord] The Discord channel allows non-MH discussion [18:15:47] [discord] though we can move to #ID:615786602454581249 [18:42:03] [discord] @Agent Hi, I've Recently been a Victim of a Wiki Owner Abusing Their Power Against Me. Could i Discuss this with you in DM's? [18:42:51] [discord] Sure [18:43:01] [discord] Thank you [19:34:38] [discord] so we're looking to move sagan4.miraheze.org to sagan4beta.miraheze.org but want to also make a separate, new wiki at the original url. Is that a thing we can do [19:35:09] [discord] we'll use some method of cross-wiki redirect to make old links still work [19:36:10] That sounds like it should be possible, but you'll probably need to make a Phabricator ticket to get SRE help [19:37:31] [discord] okay, let me go do that [21:09:29] [discord] what's happening lol [21:17:48] [discord] wdym? [21:19:04] [discord] idk how to call this in eng, but loads of new members usually meant something not good happening w/ miraheze lol (the 503s, the infamous server outage, etc) [21:32:03] [discord] I don't like the new format for language and task listing. It takes longer for me to page through to my desired language/task than to scroll down or search text via web browser. [21:35:40] [discord] hmm. i see, also, just got some crazy news that i didn't want [21:36:43] [discord] but i son't wanna spill that on yall [21:42:26] [discord] Ive seen quite some people on reddit and twitter not understanding what was going on with the removal of the reception wikis and thinking the entire wiki farm was down [22:32:37] [discord] now that i figured out how to enable the visual editor i am rockin' and rollin'. [22:37:11] [discord] good stuff [22:48:47] [discord] lol, I just saw the thread on reddit [22:48:49] [discord] so silly [22:48:53] [discord] thanks for replying though [22:49:10] [discord] that further cements the fact that a lot of Qualitipedia users thought Qualitipedia = Miraheze [22:51:29] [discord] Looking up Miraheze on Twitter and sorting by new was pretty funny. [22:52:07] [discord] That's part of my morning routine, always fun to see what people are saying [22:52:10] [discord] 1/3 people begging Fandom wikis to migrate, 1/3 Qualitipedia folks having a mental breakdown, 1/3 Twisted Wonderland players trying to figure out the latest update 🤣 [22:53:07] [discord] that describes the situation at the moment :lau [23:00:56] [discord] The continued halt on wiki creation probably due to the permissions bug probably isn't doing us any favors. [23:01:42] [discord] Technically speaking, you *can* approve requests but they take a while to show up and resolve [23:02:13] [discord] and are missing all the setup scripts [23:02:52] [discord] yeah, if we don't have resolution on that by this weekend, if a steward's available I may blast through those and have them manually complete setups... [23:03:04] [discord] Depends how far out we thing we are for resolution, but probably not a topic for general [23:04:29] [discord] 🤔 drama with MH? [23:05:34] [discord] better than nothing tbh [23:07:41] [discord] Assigning rights isn't a bother but what does worry me is that the assignContainerAccess script isn't run and I don't know what that does lol [23:08:18] [discord] Yeah, that spooks me [23:08:32] [discord] Files probably [23:12:40] [discord] Hmm, doesn't creating wikis work from eval? 😆 [23:12:48] [discord] could be another way to do it [23:13:08] [discord] ah yes, manually do every wiki request [23:14:00] [discord] Just 64 requests to process, nothing too much \:P [23:14:21] [discord] though I've reviewed a few of them and I'm sure the total amount of actually approved requests is probably half of that [23:14:30] [discord] Easily [23:15:33] [discord] well, I working on setting up a local environment I can attach a php debugger to, so hopefully that won't be necessary [23:16:15] [discord] Either way, I'll go through and do some pruning on the obvious 'needs more details' and 'CP violation' requests. [23:16:51] [discord] we should really document how to setup CreateWiki/ManageWiki [23:17:05] [discord] There's no tutorial and it requires a lot of configs to be set/some hacks [23:18:18] [discord] I do want to sort of document some of the intricacies of CW/MW in the tech namespace [23:18:25] [discord] As with everything on Miraheze, eventually 🤣 [23:20:54] [discord] Just need the time and or budget! [23:23:58] [discord] We already have a very generous budget for it [23:23:59] [discord] $0 [23:24:04] [discord] we just need time heh [23:32:36] [discord] Hi. I’ve heard about this New Qualitipedia & went on it. Only to be greeted with this: [23:32:40] [discord] guys, hosting is [23:32:40] [discord] expensive [23:32:46] [discord] 😛 [23:32:54] [discord] Hi. I’ve heard about this New Qualitipedia & went on it. Only to be greeted with this: [23:32:58] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1068312625257123870/IMG_7091.png [23:38:29] [discord] Yep, we've heard they've had some challenges, but Miraheze is not affiliated with that attempt at resurrecting QP so has no extra info on that. [23:38:30] [discord] [23:38:31] [discord] I did hear they have their own discord server where you might be able to find out more but don't have a link for that handy. [23:40:29] [discord] seems they did an oppsie [23:40:40] [discord] Jeez a weez, to think I got excited for a reboot! 😖 [23:40:47] [discord] lol [23:41:02] [discord] Well, hopefully the problem will be resolved and I’ll see the reboot 🤞🏻 [23:42:57] [discord] Wait, I’ve just realised! With the database dumps I’ve downloaded to drive…… they can be imported easily to the new QP! ^^ [23:43:27] [discord] Hopefully you don't import the old community as well lol [23:43:40] [discord] ……Good point. Lol [23:44:07] [discord] By the way, isn’t there a link to new QP server? Or is that hard to find for more information? [23:45:14] [discord] Last I knew, they resided at [23:47:33] [discord] Not much there [23:47:50] [discord] You have to verify first I think [23:47:53] [discord] to view other channels [23:48:24] [discord] Really? Where do I do that on a “Old” Qualtipedia server? ^^; [23:49:43] [discord] Cause there’s only rules & checkpoint ^^; [23:51:35] [discord] I think @Blad may have more info on additional servers for this, I think they've been keeping tabs on the QP revival efforts. Sorry to them in advance if I'm mistaken. [23:52:02] [discord] Hmmmmm…….. [23:53:01] [discord] Also, how can I do that since there’s only rules & checkpoints on the “Old” QP server? ^^; [23:53:42] [discord] No idea, I think you have to ping Fred or something [23:54:01] [discord] …..Who’s Fred? [23:54:15] [discord] He's the owner of that discord server [23:54:46] [discord] Would that be NDKilla? [23:54:55] [discord] No? [23:55:04] [discord] Qualitipedia is not Miraheze [23:55:45] [discord] They're the user on that other server in the offline section w/ a purple name color and a crown next to their name. [23:58:13] [discord] Ahhh [23:59:17] [discord] Now I’ve got access to the new QP strangely enough ^^ [23:59:18] [discord] [23:59:19] [discord] Now….. to solve the import database dump situation
