[00:26:42] what do you discuss? [01:15:20] [discord] miraheze stuff [01:35:20] [discord] theres also an offtopic channel [01:35:22] [discord] for [01:35:23] [discord] random stuff [01:35:43] [discord] like how i tried to get chatgpt to write genshin impact shipping fanfics but it doesnt understand how genshin impact works so it made weird nonsense [02:51:37] What happened to the main page?????? [02:55:08] [discord] Agent's testing out some changes [03:02:02] testing them out on the main page? [03:16:57] [discord] yes [03:17:00] [discord] i do that all the time [03:17:08] [discord] anyway apparently theres a redesig [03:17:13] [discord] *redesign [03:17:18] [discord] but not the logo [03:17:49] [discord] other stuff stays normal [03:18:07] [discord] wait no other stuff besides the logo etc is probably going to chage [03:18:18] [discord] just use party mode to make it less noticeable [03:18:38] The "redesign" is not great [03:18:42] I think the best part is blue on blue [03:18:43] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/3rRTfWqW/image.png [03:21:16] [discord] Yeah, the color will be changed [03:21:23] [discord] I just didn't really know what color to put for the header [03:23:41] Has anyone other than you agree to change the color? [03:23:50] The main page is not the place for BOLD.... [03:26:43] [discord] from what i can tell probably [03:26:49] [discord] notaracham went with it [03:27:01] [discord] also the main page is absolutely the place for bold [03:27:05] [discord] i did it on genshin impact wiki [03:27:14] [discord] i experimented on the main page for around half an hour trying to fix mobile compatibility [03:27:16] Never heard of that [03:27:19] [discord] and the wiki is going *great* 😎 [03:27:24] [discord] https://genshinimpact.miraheze.org [03:27:26] [url] Genshin Impact Wiki | genshinimpact.miraheze.org [03:27:30] [discord] im sure you havent because you live under a rock [03:27:44] [discord] you'd be instantly scared away from genshin impact once you learn it has kernel-level anticheat and telemetry [03:27:57] [discord] (i blocked the telemetry urls with /etc/hosts) [03:30:51] I meant your wiki, though I also meant the subject [03:31:06] [discord] oh [03:31:07] And yes, I wouldn't use that, but I bet it doesn't run on Linux anyway. Most stuff like that is only designed for Windows [03:31:07] [discord] makes sense [03:31:22] Though, how would you know that? I don't think I've told you much about my software preferences [03:32:11] [discord] i can infer it from your freedom software takl [03:32:14] [discord] *talk [03:33:00] [discord] also it technically doesnt run on linux because they say VMs break it and its distributed for windows + android + ios + playstation (they intentionally make it break in VMs) but its possible to either make a VM and modify it slightly or use lutris [03:33:03] I never gave a "freedom software talk" did I? [03:33:15] [discord] what you said about discord and about the freedoms of irc convinced me [03:33:29] That wasn't about free software, that was just about Discord being pricks [03:33:42] [discord] most people who say that sound like gnu/linux people [03:33:45] [discord] anyway this is probably off-topic [03:35:19] Let's un-bridge this channel [03:35:45] [discord] mod team said no so no [03:36:29] [discord] rip [03:36:45] [discord] maybe there should be a miraheze matrix [03:36:54] [discord] i have an account on the matrix.org homeserver [03:37:14] [discord] ~~also name it "Miraheze Identifiers" with a description based on something andyyeung wrote~~ [03:37:44] [discord] Collei confirmed Andy sock [03:37:48] [discord] lmao [03:37:50] [discord] hard disagree [03:37:53] [discord] i know about andy from uncyclopedia [03:38:00] [discord] oh really? [03:38:02] [discord] yea [03:38:05] [discord] he has a big group of socks there [03:38:32] [discord] and he used the same IP addresses to vandalize wikipedia [03:38:52] [discord] he seems to have some fandom accounts too [03:46:06] [discord] Not correct, I did not agree on mainpage changes. we were discussing alternative color schemes outside of general chat. [03:46:16] [discord] oh [03:46:17] [discord] my bad [03:46:41] [discord] No worries. I do agree main needs a refresh, it'll just need a bit more before it's ready for primetime [03:46:46] [discord] makes sense [03:46:54] [discord] the changes are probably alright though consensus shouldve been obtained first [03:47:50] [discord] only thing that's been highlighted is the top header as an issue [03:48:09] [discord] also NotAracham highlighted that there should be a bit of padding above the language selector [03:48:21] [discord] anyone is free to suggest a hex code [03:49:05] [discord] Overall restructure is fine, but definitely needs some extra work on colors. I'll do some fiddling and come up w/ some suggestions, as Naleksuh is right that blue-on-blue is a problem. πŸ™‚ [03:49:24] @Agent Which "mod team"? [03:49:36] [discord] the discord one [03:49:54] [discord] The Discord mod team is also partially the IRC one too [03:49:55] [discord] `@Moderators` [03:49:57] Ah, so Discord gets to control what IRC has to say [03:50:02] Let's +q mhbridgebot [03:50:10] [discord] +q? [03:50:19] [discord] that mutes a user [03:50:23] [discord] ah [03:50:29] It mutes a user on Libera only [03:50:35] On every other network, it gives owner permissions [03:50:38] [discord] yeah no, i'm not in support of that [03:50:45] [discord] hah [03:51:02] [discord] they should bring +q and +a to libera [03:51:08] [discord] and install inspircd while they're at it [03:51:14] [discord] make it Freenode 3.0 [03:51:35] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/9DdysKYg/image.png [03:51:38] [discord] > [irc] Ah, so Discord gets to control what IRC has to say [03:51:39] [discord] i thought that the IRC mod team was always the same as/mostly the same as the discord mod team [03:51:47] [discord] good work [03:51:54] [discord] for the most part, yeah [03:51:57] [discord] for the most part that's correct [03:51:59] First of all, they are called "chanops" and not "mod team" [03:52:04] [discord] except that discord mods can be elected [03:52:18] [discord] hmm [03:52:23] And yes, if both Discord and IRC collectively agreed that would be one thing. But as it stands, Discord is trying to run the IRC channel and severely overstepping it [03:52:33] [discord] and irc ops are all volunteers with advanced perms on MH (gsys, steward, sre) [03:52:34] Really dumb that IRC has to abide by Discord's rules because Discord says so [03:52:42] [discord] it's one volunteer group [03:52:43] [discord] like which rule? [03:52:43] No, just Stewards and SRE [03:53:13] [discord] it's irrelevant [03:53:32] [discord] > [irc] And yes, if both Discord and IRC collectively agreed that would be one thing. But as it stands, Discord is trying to run the IRC channel and severely overstepping it [03:53:33] [discord] maybe we could put the irc bridge back into a different channel [03:53:37] [discord] people come here for help more than they do irc [03:53:39] [discord] idrk [03:53:47] How would you know? You aren't on IRC [03:53:55] [discord] i see the bridged messages [03:54:25] [discord] #miraheze-relay-archived is very indicative of the old channel [03:54:30] [discord] this was decided against because of redundancy [03:54:33] [discord] I think I'm the only one of the discord mod team who isn't an IRC chanop aside from the MH meetings channel. [03:54:45] [discord] yea [03:54:47] Why are you a chanop on the meetings channel? [03:54:48] [discord] i believe so [03:54:57] [discord] so he can run meetings [03:55:04] And why do they need to be doing that? [03:55:13] [discord] because they're a discord mod [03:55:14] [discord] > [irc] Why are you a chanop on the meetings channel? [03:55:14] [discord] they have access to #the-cabal here on discord according to the discord api [03:55:19] [discord] Because I've volunteered to be a backup when Agent isn't available [03:55:20] [discord] despite being a wiki creator [03:55:24] [discord] instead of steward [03:55:34] [discord] i believe that they are more involved than most wiki creators [03:55:43] [discord] thats just a theory [03:55:46] [discord] Collei, I can talk for myself, please and thank you. πŸ™‚ [03:55:49] [discord] we've been exposed \:P [03:55:52] [discord] oh makes sense [03:55:52] [discord] sorry [03:56:59] I don't really think anyone uses the meetings [03:57:05] But still basically dmehus 2.0 [03:57:14] [discord] There have been a few instances where folks weren't around or available to start meetings, there was an ask for volunteers that were already involved in the community so I volunteered. [03:57:15] [discord] [03:57:17] [discord] As a matter of due diligence to make sure I wasn't a user overextending my rights, I went through the elections process for discord moderator to ensure I was fully empowered to do so without overrreaching. [03:57:24] [discord] This is not appropriate [03:57:25] [discord] Had that vote failed, I would not be acting as backup. [03:57:39] [discord] @BWM note that replies do not relay onto irc [03:57:43] [discord] one of the reason to bring irc here was that irc relay chat was missing important stuff from discord only general tho [03:57:50] [discord] the content does but the fact they are replies/the message they are in reply to doesnt relay [03:58:18] [discord] Also, I'd ask that you quit it with that comparison. I understand you have concerns about how privileges are given and when, but continued comparisons are an erosion of community trust in a volunteer acting in good faith. Even if that isn't your intent. [03:58:18] [discord] I don't want to assume what you're saying there Naleksuh but based off your previous expressed opinions of Naleksuh, I'm aware it's not a good thing coming from you. [03:58:25] [discord] also no, meetings are used pretty well [03:58:46] [discord] I would also remind Naleksuh of the [[MSCoC]], in addition to the [[VCP]] [03:58:46] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/MSCoC https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/VCP [03:58:47] [discord] [03:58:48] [url] Miraheze Spaces Code of Conduct - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [03:58:48] [discord] [03:58:49] [url] Volunteer Conduct Policy - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [03:59:16] [discord] also read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:OPAQUE [03:59:16] [wikipedia] WP:OPAQUE | "Certain things on Wikipedia happen with little or no explanation.

[14:10:58] [discord] when its admins will fix issues, and that depends on them entirely [15:48:49] [discord] How to enable citoid on wiki? [15:51:31] We disabled that last year miraheze-wide. But, I'm personally planning on asking for re-installation soon. [16:14:55] [discord] It requires approval of a new server too for RESTbase so if approved, I don't know if we'll have the specs available to provision a new RESTbase server [16:21:56] hmm [16:42:10] @Agent why are you disabling twinkle [16:44:17] [discord] Naleksuh: I disabled devwiki Twinkle on Meta and enabled the Meta Twinkle gadget on Meta instead [16:44:23] Oh [16:58:33] [discord] Not sure if any ATT admins are in here (apart from @Labster ) but https://allthetropes.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-purgetab.js needs updating [16:58:34] [url] MediaWiki:Gadget-purgetab.js - All The Tropes | allthetropes.org [16:58:52] [discord] it's quite old and uses code that no longer works (doesn't support the new vector 2022 skin either) [16:59:09] [discord] i guess all that needs to happen is to copy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-purgetab.js ?

I'll correct that now [17:03:16] [discord] pretty sure you can now disable it via ManageWiki [17:04:28] [discord] about my screenshots being broken [17:04:39] [discord] i was messing around with trying to find a way to delete all the assets of the get started program and cortona and stuff [17:04:45] [discord] without breaking anything else [17:04:56] [discord] the "without breaking anything else" part didnt go as planned [17:05:20] [discord] nearly every part of windows that uses html + css + js to display things (its a lot of the windows 11 bloatware but also a lot of its features) is now broken in some way [17:06:02] [discord] I think there's a program which lets you create a custom ISO of Windows where you can remove bloatware before installing Windows [17:06:04] [discord] Yep, gave them all the clues, as the recent changes rail is over in Additial settings > Styling. No need to banish it with z-position. πŸ™‚ [17:06:17] [discord] Thanks! [17:07:05] [discord] Did this also break the snipping tool? (Windows + Shift + S) Brutal. [17:07:16] [discord] yes [17:07:21] [discord] i am an idiot [17:07:23] [discord] so [17:07:27] [discord] i tried to screenshot it to demonstrate that [17:07:45] [discord] the only way to solve that as usual is ctrl+alt+delete then sign out which closes every app and then sign back in [17:08:34] [discord] but the other thing that i cant screenshot to demonstrate but you have to imagine: theres no way to turn off clipboard history right now, when i try to it freezes, but when i open clipboard history for the first ~10 mins after turning on, the clipboard history will just be a completely blank page, it doesnt say "nothing copied here" etc etc, its just blank [17:08:47] [discord] even after i copy a bunch of things i cant make it work [17:09:16] [discord] im also still unable to unbreak the get started ap [17:09:18] [discord] *app [17:09:30] [discord] > I think there's a program which lets you create a custom ISO of Windows where you can remove bloatware before installing Windows [17:09:31] [discord] there is but i bought this laptop online [17:09:39] [discord] and i dont want to install linux [17:09:47] [discord] or specifically gnu/linux [17:10:11] [discord] i want to switch to linux but a combination of laziness and incompetence and wanting to use windows-only programs and windows-only games prevents that [17:10:15] [discord] *gnu/linux [17:10:17] [discord] if you have a USB then you could just download the program, flash the USB with an unbloated Windows ISO and reinstall Windows [17:10:29] [discord] yea but i have a lot of apps and dont have a good place to back stuff up [17:10:36] [discord] rip [17:10:36] [discord] i back up the most important things on my 32gb flash drive [17:10:42] [discord] yea rip [17:10:48] [discord] backup your usb to the cloud [17:10:49] [discord] lol [17:10:54] [discord] i know i could use cloud storage and everything but [17:11:02] [discord] cant find a good alternative that is end-to-end encrypted [17:11:08] [discord] and gives more than like 10gb of storage for free [17:11:34] [discord] spread your data across like 3 accounts [17:11:41] [discord] 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 [17:11:44] [discord] boom [17:12:10] [discord] for some time all the search functions were broken and when i tried to enable the search service (it was stopped for some reason) it would say the interface is invalid whatever that means and i couldnt find anything good online [17:12:17] [discord] now that still happens when i try to start it but despite that [17:12:19] [discord] search is working just fine [17:12:27] [discord] (i obviously cannot screenshot to demonstrate that) [17:12:43] [discord] and lmao that 3 account idea might work [17:12:51] [discord] but im mostly lazy/dont have the time for it [17:13:09] [discord] also now bulkcrapuninstaller wont load for some reason [17:13:22] [discord] which is what i was using to easily access most of the files for windows garbage [17:13:55] [discord] it stops working once it reaches "searching for windows store apps" [17:14:05] [discord] and it wont open so i cant disable the option to search for windows store apps [17:14:16] [discord] for my Metawikiers, please comment about your thoughts [17:14:17] [url] Meta:Community portal - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [17:14:31] [discord] Microsoft really doesn't want you to get rid of their bloat [17:14:32] [discord] wow [17:14:42] [discord] I just block their telemetry at a DNS level with my pihole [17:14:57] [discord] getting rid of their tight integrations will probably blow something up [17:15:13] [discord] yea lmao [17:15:18] [discord] i block some telemetry with /etc/hosts [17:15:25] [discord] which is even with vpn on works just fine [17:15:36] [discord] of course i can still access the telemetry urls with tor but i have no need to do that [17:16:26] [discord] voluntary data donation [17:16:27] [discord] lol [17:16:29] [discord] lmao [17:20:20] [discord] anyway i am now installing ccleaner aka spyware temporarily [17:20:40] [discord] so going to close everything until im finished temporarily using it and then uninstalling it and deleting all of its files [17:21:12] [discord] I've only heard of CCleaner on Android, I didn't know it existed on PC [17:21:34] [discord] It's mixed usefulness, used to be more critical. [17:21:47] [discord] Moving to #ID:615786602454581249 though [17:34:10] [discord] alright got it sorry [17:41:43] [discord] CCleaner existed on PC WAY before it did on android lol. That said yeah I recentish uninstalled CCleaner, was getting way too agressive with ads and other things. Instead replaced it with mainly Wise Registery Cleaner (was really the main function I was using CCleaner for), but also got Wise Program Uninstaller, and Wise System Monitor as well. All of those 3 serving me better than CCleaner and being less obnoxios with ad [17:55:52] [discord] Stop using CCleaner on PC [17:55:59] [discord] Use PC Manager instead [17:56:05] [discord] :DoneMH: πŸ‘ [18:19:24] [discord] no [18:19:25] [discord] boring [18:26:09] [discord] Any one from AVID? [18:26:10] [discord] I wants to use some designs from u all v0 [18:26:49] [discord] Most of their bureaucrats are on this server but it'd probably be best for you to ask on their Discord [18:27:15] [discord] Alr then... throw it in πŸ’€ [18:27:28] [discord] U know what [18:27:31] [discord] Nevermind [18:27:42] [discord] I will do it myself [18:55:10] [discord] Hi, I have a question. Does anyone know if Wikipedia itself uses any extensions for SEO, especially WikiSEO ( if that is even possible ) ? Also are there any voluntary countributors that specialize on optimising articles for SEO or professionals helping MediaWikis with their SEO? Are Wiki articles ranking high in SEO just because of the size of Wikipedia ? Thanks!

[19:01:35] [discord] [19:01:36] [discord] 1. Already having massive name recognition - traffic improves search results [19:01:37] [discord] 2. Having a massive amount of page interlinking - dead-end pages aren't good for search optimization [19:01:39] [discord] 3. Having a massive amount of content + related content on topics - sites that have lots of informational pages are more likely to have one of them stick... to a point [19:01:40] [discord] 4. Having the money to spend on dedicated support staff that think about this daily [19:01:55] [discord] *traffic improves potential search results, it isn't a guarantee [19:05:40] [discord] Can't speak to any special tools they're using internally though [19:16:37] [discord] its mostly from fandom's office hours but some of it is also from google's official documentation and such [19:23:06] [discord] though far from the only aspect of SEO, one of the most important first steps in SEO is having good content that people will want to link to and click on [19:23:10] [discord] something wikipedia does well [19:24:24] [discord] The biggest spike I've seen is getting sitemaps submitted. It's hard for google to surface your content if it doesn't know it exists yet. [19:25:03] [discord] indeed [19:25:49] [discord] Any idea when replacetext will be functional again? [19:25:52] [discord] Who would have thought huh? [19:26:11] [discord] use regexreplacetext or whatever its called in the meantime [19:26:36] [discord] I know the workaround, I'm still wondering if there are any updates [19:26:39] [discord] i could be wrong but imo i feel that its an issue with replacetext itself not supporting basic mediawiki configuration options (specifically compressrevisions named something like that) [19:26:45] [discord] so i really have no idea [19:26:49] [discord] but somebody else could correct me on that [19:30:15] [discord] Yes, that's it [19:30:18] [discord] It probably won't return [19:30:41] [discord] We have to compress databases as nearly 7,000 wiki databases on our servers hogs up quite a lot of space [19:30:58] [discord] yea [19:56:01] [discord] Will the Template for DCM be fixed [20:03:08] @Agent "nearly 7000"? [20:03:13] Over 1000 were deleted just recently [20:11:26] [discord] Naleksuh: they were soft deleted (i.e. hidden from public view and queued for deletion when a sysadmin runs the script) [20:16:50] [discord] And even then in the context of storage space in those amount's, I doubt 6000, or 7000 wiki's would make that big of a difference relatively. [20:17:22] 1/7th of our wikis makes a difference [20:17:25] [discord] Unless this is on Meta, this is likely a problem local to a wiki and best addressed w/ that wiki's administrators... [20:18:02] It's a shame IRC doesn't show who I'm replying to on the discord side. [20:18:12] IRCv3 [21:22:42] [discord] Is that information available in the discord API and the bot that syncs the two could get updated to support it? [21:26:33] [discord] IRC has no concept of replies [21:26:38] [discord] It simply doesn’t exist [21:27:08] [discord] IRCv3 (the next version of the spec) does include support [21:33:28] [discord] Fair, I just meant including it into the message like the sender is prepended (from my understanding of some copy-pasted messages sent by the bot in IRC. Haven't actually set it up to see how it looks.) It's been years since I've been in an IRC room [21:46:21] [discord] 21:33:28 [discord] Fair, I just meant including it into the message like the sender is prepended (from my understanding of some copy-pasted messages sent by the bot in IRC. Haven't actually set it up to see how it looks.) It's been years since I've been in an IRC room [21:46:31] [discord] That’s what your message looks like on the irc side [21:59:18] [discord] is the page protected? [22:00:16] [discord] RIP i'm just not autoconfirmed on meta :I [22:34:26] [discord] I've unprotected it, consistent with all other noticeboards on Meta not being protected [22:39:01] [discord] CollapsibleVector now works again on miraheze [22:40:57] [discord] Thanks Paladox! [22:42:32] [discord] @Agent [22:42:32] [discord] @Vepttoimi is a spambot [22:42:54] [discord] :BanHammerMH: [22:43:00] [discord] (sending DM messages about cryptoshit and whatnot) [22:43:23] [discord] What a coincidence as another user just reported a different user for spamming crypto stuff like a minute ago [22:43:24] [discord] lol [22:43:28] [discord] twinbbs (926757504128516126) is also a spambot. [22:43:31] [discord] oh [22:43:33] [discord] uh [22:43:35] [discord] that's bad [22:43:38] [discord] Oh thank you it makes sense! [22:44:01] [discord] :BanHammerMH: [22:44:40] [discord] Think we got hit by a small spambot raid [22:44:59] [discord] skin isn't defined on https://allthetropes.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-ATTsite.js [22:45:00] [url] MediaWiki:Gadget-ATTsite.js - All The Tropes | allthetropes.org [22:45:00] [discord] Once again, a reminder to everybody to not click links in DMs [22:45:13] [discord] it's throwing in the console as variable not found [22:47:33] [discord] I've banned all users who joined within the recent 20 mins and who's join date was January 1st as that seems to be a feature of this spambot network [23:31:16] [discord] if you want to proactively ban spambot [23:31:20] [discord] *spambots [23:31:35] [discord] someone i know once told me about safetyhub and vertex server safety network [23:31:41] [discord] they are servers that give shared banlists for spambots [23:37:30] [discord] Why do people care if theyre autopatrolled on meta? AFAICT it doesnt affect them, only admins who can patrol posts [23:39:28] [discord] Autopatrolled means Meta sysops trust you and that exempts you from a few AbuseFilters + there's a group of users called patrollers who can also patrol edits. Everyone can also see if an edit is patrolled or not too. [23:41:04] [discord] Oh didnt know about the abusefilters. Everyone can see patrolled edits? I thought it was just patrollers [23:42:32] [discord] Looking in recent changes, i dont see a single red exclamation point [23:43:07] [discord] I thought `user` had `patrolmarks` [23:43:12] [discord] seems they don't [23:43:22] [discord] so yeah, only patrollers and sysops can see it [23:43:27] [discord] It makes our job easier though [23:43:28] [discord] Got it [23:43:40] [discord] Yeah im sure [23:43:50] [discord] and yeah, also exempts you from a few AbuseFilters like not being able to create pages in the mainspace or something like that [23:44:08] [discord] Ok thanks for the info
