[00:12:23] [discord] What does boosting do [00:14:32] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1069047862253600819/image.png [00:14:58] [discord] If declined because of something missing in the request, do I re-request a wiki or do I just edit the request? [00:15:11] [discord] 2 boosts for lvl1, 7 for lvl2, 14 for lvl3 [00:18:26] [discord] Oh interesting, is it permanent? [00:18:41] [discord] edit the request [00:20:33] [discord] Alright [00:21:37] [discord] Each boost lasts one month, so level goes down as they expire [00:31:38] [discord] Oh om [00:35:14] [discord] @Agent ? [01:34:30] [discord] what do you need help with? i’m not agent haha but happy to answer any questions you may have [01:35:48] [discord] Pretty sure he's referring to vandalism on a wiki I manage [01:35:50] [discord] I'll handle it shortly [01:36:54] [discord] ah [01:37:02] [discord] also what is this? https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=no-ipinfo [01:37:03] [url] User list - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [01:45:25] [discord] What happened to real life villains wiki? [01:46:28] [discord] temporarily closed [01:46:46] [discord] Greatest movies wiki? [01:46:52] [discord] and awful movies wiki? [01:48:04] [discord] Those were closed down permanently as per community vote [01:48:20] [discord] what did they do? [01:48:31] [discord] man im gonna miss them [01:48:51] [discord] That's accidental. It'll be removed hopefully soon [01:49:01] [discord] gotcha [01:49:03] [discord] The entire IPInfo tool is broken though [01:49:06] [discord] :waaa: [01:50:41] [discord] ah [01:50:42] [discord] good job [01:50:47] [discord] My understanding is that the wikis' admins weren't able to keep the toxicity under control [01:51:01] [discord] unsourced statements [01:51:47] [discord] it had been a problem that the wiki staff knew about and were trying to fix it but if i remember correctly it came to a last straw when a troll posted a defamatory article and harassed people w/ it or something like that [01:51:51] [discord] i believe it was discussed in #ID:615786602454581249 [01:53:55] [discord] How would I go about adding people to view/administrate my private wiki? [02:01:30] [discord] Once they've visited the site, you can add the member role to them at Special:UserRights [02:43:18] [discord] oh and as for the reception wikis like great/awful movies [02:44:05] [discord] their community decided that it was impossible to maintain an accurate database and that the way its designed has led to constant on-wiki and off-wiki drama, harassment, and toxicity both for their own wiki and the miraheze platform as a whole [02:44:15] [discord] miraheze staff did not decide that, the community decided it [02:44:27] [discord] it was around a 65% support !vote [03:01:58] [discord] So what to the crappy games wiki? [03:07:57] [discord] they were pain in the ass to deal w/ (immature, toxic community, dramas, constant vandalism, ect) [03:07:58] [discord] they were previously kicked for that from FANDOM [03:55:37] [discord] that is correct and a more concise way to say what i said [03:57:06] [discord] this is in my managewiki log on my private wiki [03:57:06] [discord] ``` [03:57:08] [discord] 06:52, 28 January 2023 Collei talk contribs block changed the settings (wgAbuseFilterActions, wgRestrictionTypes, wmgWikiLicense, wgFileExtensions, wgImplicitGroups, wgTwitterCardType) for "colleismallbrainwiki" (all rights) [03:57:09] [discord] ``` [03:57:19] [discord] i dont remember changing those [03:57:47] [discord] Some of the defaults can do that if they weren't saved in before [03:58:05] [discord] i checked utc -> pst time [03:58:07] [discord] it happened at 10 pm [03:58:20] [discord] i was probably tired and trying to do something else [03:59:04] [discord] oh [03:59:05] [discord] i remember now [03:59:08] [discord] I've noticed that happens quite a lot [03:59:14] [discord] i changed it from creative commons to all rights reserved [03:59:18] [discord] after it was approved [03:59:23] [discord] 1984 [03:59:32] [discord] because it is a private wiki [03:59:42] [discord] :literally1984: [03:59:50] [discord] we need CC0 on all private wikis [03:59:54] [discord] why [03:59:55] [discord] rip [06:32:44] [discord] question for the more Meta-friendly people in the room [06:32:54] [discord] why do we have the community portal and the community noticeboard [06:32:59] [discord] they have the same purpose [06:34:21] In theory, because the community portal is for inward connections and community noticeboard is for outward connections [06:34:29] In practice, because someone made a community portal and no-one deleted it [06:35:06] [discord] @Meta-Wiki Administrators could deletion (or at least a permanent archive) of the page be considered [06:35:32] [discord] it's rarely used and its purpose has been usurped by the Community noticeboard [06:35:40] [discord] there's no point to keep it around [06:36:24] Oh wait, the community portal is in project space? [06:36:27] That's why, then [06:36:39] Community noticeboard = For all of Miraheze [06:36:39] Community portal = For only Meta [06:37:05] [discord] in theory yes [06:37:18] [discord] but in practice there's no difference [06:38:55] Well, there should be [06:39:04] People also need to stop making Meta-only RfCs in mainspace [06:39:08] Project space exists for a reason [06:42:55] [discord] No, the community portal was purposefully revived last year to separate Meta issues from the Community noticeboard which is for all of Miraheze [06:43:00] [discord] (re: BWM) [06:43:07] [discord] so deletion will not be considered [06:44:00] [discord] Though generally, M:CP is not used that often as many issues either require administrator attention and thus go to the AN and because Meta has been quiet lately 🤣 [06:44:48] Yeah [06:44:52] Let's seperate RfC next [06:45:05] Right now it's just one big mess that has NO distinction between Miraheze RfC and Meta RfC [06:47:22] [discord] perhaps a good idea [06:50:54] [discord] It's not that big of a mess [06:51:00] [discord] Meta RfCs are sort of rare [06:51:28] [discord] The M:CP was thought of because there can be times where local Meta discussions turn very long [06:51:35] [discord] and this clutter the CN very badly [06:51:46] [discord] Meta RfCs aren't really cluttering much [06:51:55] [discord] fair [06:53:50] 1) Yes they are [06:53:50] 2) The problem is less clutter and more confusion [06:58:19] [discord] i dont find it *that* confusing right now [09:50:37] [discord] js fellas, can you check this [09:50:37] [discord] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1068985726374514688 [09:50:38] [url] Discord | discord.com [09:51:07] [discord] also we need some sort of manual status set for forum entries [09:55:14] [discord] if it's successfully resolved, initiator or mod adds a :DoneMH: in its title so it can be ignored by the rest and close by itself [09:55:14] [discord] if it's not resolved in a day or two, goes ❓or whatever [09:55:15] [discord] :NotdoneMH: for declined by stewards, say, or urgent thing and errors w/ ‼️ [09:55:17] [discord] some users just try to boost their entries in hope for other volunteers to help, and instead is still ignored, because, probably, when we see some amount of messages already in preview, we don't chcek [12:53:58] [discord] what happen to the awesome games wiki.etc.? [13:00:18] [discord] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/29544 what a strange request [13:00:19] [url] Wiki requests queue - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [13:00:26] [discord] lol [13:05:45] @NotAracham yup, the miraheze pseudo-interwiki thingy is [[mh:meta:]], can you? [13:05:45] https://mh.wikipedia.org/wiki/meta: [13:06:05] @RhinosF1 alright bro, I saw your message. [13:06:47] [discord] hm [13:06:58] Wait, was there a general log out for everyone? [13:07:48] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1069242461291036712/image.png [13:07:52] [discord] “pseudo-group” in Meta:Autoconfirmed users is mean that? [13:07:55] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1069242489439010888/image.png [13:08:07] [discord] what setting do i need to use to be able to add verified_user? [13:08:12] [discord] anyone know? [13:09:28] [discord] What is the usergroup you are in [13:09:35] [discord] bureaucrats [13:09:48] [discord] Well I got the same notice as well. Same permission error. [13:10:06] [discord] I have been reading multiple articles on the Real Life Villains Wiki. [13:10:34] [discord] Configure bureaucrats and add permission to bureaucrats to allow "verified_user" to be added [13:12:07] [discord] isnt that this tho [13:13:37] [discord] Assuming this is the bureaucrat usergroup [13:13:38] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1069243925199597608/Screenshoot.PNG [13:15:19] [discord] try it. If you find anything difficult to understand, please let me know, my English is not good [13:15:21] [discord] lol [13:17:58] [discord] That's a really good idea. Possibly tags if they can include emojis? [13:21:49] [discord] sure, my english is also a little bad as well 😅 [13:22:24] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1069246133609713745/image.png [13:22:25] [discord] its still the same [13:26:38] [discord] I think it's the other way around. So you need to be in the `verified_user` settings and check `bureaucrat` here [13:26:53] [discord] how [13:26:56] [discord] Right now verified users can add bureaucrat to others if that's correct [13:27:35] [discord] im at the verified_user settings tho [13:27:59] [discord] permanently deleted from miraheze, possibly moved to telepedia [13:28:00] [discord] reason - community and wiki itself was a huge pain to deal w/ and they kept spoiling reputation of the platform [13:28:13] [discord] What is the maximum size of a gif where it will still be animated on the wiki? [13:28:29] [discord] Cus I have a 1000x1000 one [13:28:30] [discord] Then check the first column for bureaucrat [13:28:40] [discord] And it isn't animated [13:29:22] [discord] The original size will always animate but thumbnails will not. I think there's a setting that controls the threshold, lemme check [13:29:56] [discord] The limit is not just resolution [13:30:02] [discord] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMaxAnimatedGifArea [13:30:03] [url] Manual:$wgMaxAnimatedGifArea - MediaWiki | www.mediawiki.org [13:30:43] [discord] Thank you for that [13:31:05] [discord] You can change it in `Special:ManageWiki/settings#mw-section-media`, however I'd advise to downscale your gifs and compress them [13:31:19] [discord] Too heavy gifs will not load well [13:31:34] [discord] And usually aren't viewed on high resolution anyways [13:31:44] [discord] https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/953454190917713920/1068883123301007390/mixed.gif [13:31:58] [discord] How much would I need to downscale this? [13:32:50] [discord] Aww [13:33:52] [discord] It has flat colors so compressing it would lighten it a lot. And I think lowering the resolution to around 800-600px would be enough [13:34:26] [discord] hm [13:34:28] [discord] Okay sounds good [13:34:32] [discord] Thank ya [13:34:40] [discord] It's short and this setting is affected by the amount of frames so it's likely it will play after you do that [13:35:05] [discord] Can you tell me what the URL of your wiki is? [13:35:06] [discord] Keep in mind re-generating thumnails isn't instant also [13:35:08] [discord] let [13:35:11] [discord] let me check it [13:49:32] [discord] webp can be animated tho? [15:03:50] Hello Justman10000! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon. [15:04:15] An administrator or higher here?Ein Administrator oder höher hier? [15:04:17] An administrator or higher here? [15:06:18] [discord] why do you need them? happy to ping if needed but perhaps i can try to answer your questions [15:07:11] [discord] Also might need you to be a bit more specific. There is a huge difference between an administrator of a local wiki, and a global administrator for the entire Miraheze platform [15:07:20] To block BallNutz because nonsense edits [15:07:26] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:BallNutz [15:07:27] [url] User:BallNutz - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [15:07:28] [discord] ah, makes sense [15:07:39] [discord] please report in #miraheze-cvt [15:08:13] [discord] error db121 [15:08:33] [discord] where [15:08:38] [discord] https://polcompball.miraheze.org [15:08:39] [url] Polcompball Wiki | polcompball.miraheze.org [15:10:50] [discord] now works [15:16:00] [discord] It’s designed to come up automatically [15:16:04] [discord] But it won’t allow edits [15:16:17] [discord] @paladox please put db121 back RW [15:17:52] [discord] i have the same error [15:18:08] [discord] Everyone on db121 would [15:18:13] [discord] It is fixed now [15:18:32] [discord] got it [15:20:51] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1069275942746329148/image.png [15:21:13] [discord] That's not exactly descriptive.
