element was a mediwiki message [02:26:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> wait what is this [02:27:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> We should be almost completely back now. Apologies for that everyone. [02:28:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> back from what? [02:29:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> That was my fault, I forgot adding new magic words completely breaks i18n until it is rebuilt, so caused MWException and broken localisation cache on all wikis on every page momentarily. I apologise. [02:29:46] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> help what are these words [02:30:38] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <florigon> https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words [02:31:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ohh ok [02:31:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Abracadabra? 🧐 [02:45:51] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> @Original Authority What's going on with Telepedia? I get a special pages error when I try to view the list of special pages on New Qualitipedia [02:46:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Haven't experienced that error? Can you PM me the link? [02:46:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> Here: https://newqualitipedia.telepedia.net/wiki/Special:SpecialPages [02:46:45] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> anyone [02:47:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> I see it [02:47:40] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> So how can you fix it? [02:47:58] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Well you just brought it to my attention like 5 seconds ago so I'm looking... [02:48:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> bro i am so confused,, [02:52:13] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Can you check now? [02:52:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> It's fixed now [02:52:47] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Thanks for bringing it up :thumb [02:53:14] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> how do i make a navbox [02:53:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> You're welcome [02:58:45] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Centurie> How do i edit the side bar of my wiki? [02:58:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Navboxes: I don't have the time to do this in full depth, but here's the basics. [02:59:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Centurie> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077424190556225616/image.png [02:59:06] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Mediawiki uses templates and modules to extend what it can do. [02:59:27] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> mhm [03:00:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> The `MediaWiki:Sidebar` page. [03:00:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Centurie> ok [03:00:24] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Here's an example of a template I created on meta that is a navbox. You can click 'edit source' to see the code that makes it work [03:00:25] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Navbox_NewAdminGuide_NA [03:00:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> There is also the StructuredNavigation extension. [03:01:06] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> When things are called like {{Navbox}}, that's calling a template named navbox. you can find that page on a wiki at Template:Navbox [03:01:06] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Navbox [03:01:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Wiki-Bot> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Navbox> [03:01:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You need to copy the template called navbox (and any other templates or modules it requires into your wiki) to make your own using that particular template [03:02:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> oh wow [03:03:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> This is essentially giving your wiki the instructions for 'what is a navbox', 'what can a navbox do', 'what should a navbox look like' [03:03:31] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> It's a bit of setup initially, but thankfully that part usually only needs to be done once [03:04:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> There are some other table-based options that are a little less scaleable, you can also find more about those here: [03:04:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Ultimate_Dark_Carnage/Carnage%27s_Guide_to_Templates:_Navboxes [03:05:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so can i just copy-paste that code and edit the links? [03:06:25] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Not exactly. That page requires another page called Template:Navbox to exist on the same wiki [03:06:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [03:06:46] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> So you'll need to create a corresponding page on your wiki by that name and copy the code from https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Navbox [03:07:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Template:Navbox requires Module:Navbox, so same thing there -- create a page by the same name, copy over the code from Meta [03:08:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i've never done any wiki or fandom stuff before, how do i make a new page? [03:08:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You'll probably continue to get one-off error messages saying 'such and such Module not found', keep following that trail and eventually the errors will clear up [03:08:48] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page [03:08:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ty! [03:09:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so do i just write like, [[this]], then it'll make a red link [03:09:52] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/this [03:09:53] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Wiki-Bot> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/This?action=edit&redlink=1> [03:09:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You're welcome. It's a bit of a steep learning curve initially but I promise it does plateau pretty quick [03:09:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Exactly [03:10:11] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> and then i have to make a page out of that and it'll turn blue? [03:10:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> 💯 👍 [03:10:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> cool [03:10:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i sound like a second grader rn fugyhkj [03:11:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> do i put the link on the main page? [03:11:38] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You don't even necessarily need to put a link anywhere. [03:11:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ? [03:12:11] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> If you went to https://<yourwiki>.miraheze.org/wiki/bread and a page didn't already exist, it would open up a prompt to create a new page titled Bread [03:12:19] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ohh ok [03:13:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Need to use the `/auth` command to verify your wiki user on discord in order to send links, but yeah, you've got the syntax correct. [03:13:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> augh ok [03:13:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> I need to call it a night though, good luck! [03:14:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ty! [04:45:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> Any other wikis seen a number of suspicious account creations in the last week or so? I am not generally wary of new accounts, these are just kinds similarly named w/no edits [04:46:05] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i made some edits and i made my own wiki [04:46:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i think i'm a real human [04:46:11] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so uh [04:46:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <BWM> which ones [04:46:42] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> I would be very concerned for you if you were suspicious of yourself [04:47:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> They aren't like, cross-wiki creations, but specific sign ups. And of course they haven't done anything wrong [04:48:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> mm [04:50:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> I apologize to Janessa is she is real but <https://criticalrole.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:JanessaLeedom75> an example [04:51:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> Callum is another <https://criticalrole.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:CallumHeydon> [04:52:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> its giving tumblr p*rnbot [04:54:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> I was gonna say, maybe tumblr has made me all 🤨 [04:55:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> real [04:58:48] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> we switched from ReCAPTCHA to hCaptcha but it seems hCaptcha isn't as effective as ReCAPTCHA [04:58:51] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> which sucks [04:59:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> because recaptcha blocked to many legitimate accounts, hcaptcha is still better for that reason. [05:21:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Legroom> lol trully tumblr bot vibes [09:20:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Gautier> You need to go first to Special:RegisterNewsletter, then they’ll appear in Special: Newsletter [09:21:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Gautier> No idea for that? [11:50:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Cocopuff2018> if you want a background for you're wiki, i recommend using cosmos skin, its way easier to use for backgrounds, and wiki designs [12:53:30] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <shirleynitzsche> I'll help anyone interested in how to earn $30k within 3 days and hours but you will reimburse me 10% of your dividend when you collect it. Note: only interested people should involve send a friend request or Whatapp +1 (612) 491-2637 immediately. [13:00:47] <Orange_Star> I also have another money making opportunity for the entrepreneurs here, send me 1 bitcoin and I'll send you back THREE bitcoins /sarcasm [13:07:16] <Naleksuh> How did you know what was sent. Before you joined [13:07:36] <Orange_Star> I read the logs [13:08:06] <Naleksuh> Oh right there are logs [13:08:12] <Naleksuh> Damn that's really dumb [13:08:20] <Naleksuh> Of course it is all logged by discord anyway [13:08:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <raidarr> lol [13:09:21] <Naleksuh> Logging is not funny [13:12:49] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <raidarr> ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ [13:14:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <raidarr> I don't see how it is possibly dumb, shocking or out of the ordinary either [13:27:27] <Orange_Star> Naleksuh: Logs are pretty cool, wdym? [13:35:20] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Gautier> I actually managed to add a background with no problem but I just want it to stay fixed. [13:59:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Legroom> I mean, it's hard to give or receive tech support w/o possibility to look up old messages, especially w/ volunteer environment and time zones [14:35:17] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> Yo, a bit of question: since Cloudflare allow CNAME flattening within the root domain, may a SSL be issued for that domain, if I create a CNAME for root domain to your `mw-lb.miraheze.org`? [14:35:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> With DNS Only mode of course... [14:36:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> Or can I use their universal certicate as my provider? [14:39:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> This might be a must be answer question, as I tries to use songngu.xyz for a CNAME pointed to a third-party Mastodon hosting service, and it work... [14:49:12] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <OatCookies> Goodnight! [14:59:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> Yes [16:20:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> The skin author is pretty active in the discussion page for their skin, if you don't find any luck here: [16:20:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Citizen [16:21:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Citizen isn't the most commonly-used skin on Miraheze, so it might be a little challenging to find someone w/ the context to help/ [16:22:21] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> I'll see if I can take a crack at the problem once I've got a free moment [16:22:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> Phabricator goes brrr [16:23:18] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> Will be back for a few moments. [16:27:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Testing this locally on my wiki, it works as intended, I scroll and the content moves across the background image. I recommend testing in your personal preferences CSS to see if the behavior is a caching issue... [17:03:42] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> Hi [17:05:46] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> How can i increase the amount of title hierarchies for my wiki? [17:05:47] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> The default goes from H1 to H6. Is there a wat to increase the amount of levels in this hierarchy with local admin rights? Maybe CSS or some settings? [17:08:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> For example i would like to increase it to something like this: [17:08:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> <https://avengium.miraheze.org/wiki/Prueba_de_títulos> [17:08:35] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> Is it possible to increase? [17:13:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Gummiel> Unlikely, as HTML itself only have up to h6 AFAIK [17:13:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> H1 through H6 are native HTML tags. I don't believe you can (or should) try to introduce a 7th [17:14:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> Oh, i didn't knew that [17:15:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> Then is done. Thanks [17:16:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> The choice in header tags also has some mild SEO implications, here's a fun article on that which goes into a bit more detail: [17:16:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://medium.com/swlh/html-heading-tags-best-practices-78a85f63df47 [17:16:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Though, as with anything SEO, take it as gentle guidance, not an ironclad rule. [17:43:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> Actually Google spider is really aggressive now, headers now count as links [17:44:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> For example you have a character page, headers are "Character introduction", "Lore", etc... Google will also account Character introduction and Lore as links [17:51:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> No BS SEO guide: https://learningseo.io/ [17:53:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Eytirth> My wiki is #2 if you search "Taerel" , with its tvtropes page #1 [17:53:11] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> how do i make a file thing like this? [17:53:12] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> https://rtl.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Great_Britain_(1707%E2%80%931800).svg [17:54:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> What do you mean by that? Generate PNG version of SVG or put that file on a page? [17:54:20] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> put a file on a page [17:54:31] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> [[file:filename.svg]] [17:54:31] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/file:filename.svg [17:54:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Wiki-Bot> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Filename.svg?action=edit&redlink=1> [17:54:51] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Either Special:Upload, the upload button found on most pages, or going to a page as above [17:55:13] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [17:55:16] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> cool [17:57:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so, like this? [17:57:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077650379413672086/Screen_Shot_2023-02-21_at_9.57.38_AM.png [17:58:01] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> yea [17:58:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> oh wait, did you edit the file name? [17:58:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> yeah [17:58:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> is that bad [17:58:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> no, it just that you forgot the file extension [17:59:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [18:00:53] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ok so how do i make an infobox? [18:02:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> You have multiple options, you can use PortableInfobox or import the Wikipedia infobox templates/modules [18:02:47] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> what's a PortableInfobox? [18:03:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PortableInfobox [18:04:14] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [18:04:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> what's the difference between it and the wikipedia one? [18:04:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Eytirth> Wikipedia is lots of "this template needs this temple to work" [18:05:05] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [18:05:19] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Eytirth> That one linked just needs an add-on to work [18:05:42] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so how do i use the the add-on? [18:05:48] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Eytirth> @Lake Can help you if you need help template coding [18:06:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> mm [18:07:22] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> We use the same interface as Fandom, so their help documentation works: [18:07:22] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> PortableInfobox Main Documentation (fandom) - https://portability.fandom.com/wiki/Portable_Infoboxes [18:07:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Generalized Help Page with Examples (fandom) - https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Infoboxes#Examples [18:07:24] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Additional Implementation Examples (fandom) - https://portability.fandom.com/wiki/Example_communities#Portable_Infoboxes [18:07:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> woahmygod [18:37:25] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> waugh idk what happened [18:37:25] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077660329334538311/Screen_Shot_2023-02-21_at_10.36.59_AM.png [18:37:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i copypasted this from the first link above: [18:37:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <infobox> [18:37:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <title source="title" /> [18:37:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <image source="image"> [18:37:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <caption source="imagecaption" /> [18:37:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> </image> [18:38:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <data source="color" /> [18:38:01] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <data source="tribe leader" /> [18:38:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <data source="inspiration" /> [18:38:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> </infobox> [18:41:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> Did you enable PortableInfobox? [18:41:41] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> wait how do i do that? [18:42:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> Click the "Manage this wiki's extensions" link on the sidebar [18:42:13] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> and then go to the Parser hooks section and search for the extension [18:43:21] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> mm [18:43:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> got it [18:43:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so then the portableinfobox will work? [18:50:19] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> It should, yes [18:51:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ok [18:56:31] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> The parser sometimes doesn't like trailing spaces. [18:56:58] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> So you might need to change it to: [18:56:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> ```<infobox> [18:57:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <title source="title" /> [18:57:01] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <image source="image"> [18:57:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <caption source="imagecaption" /> [18:57:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> </image> [18:57:05] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="color" /> [18:57:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="tribe leader" /> [18:57:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="inspiration" /> [18:57:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> </infobox>``` [18:59:46] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [18:59:47] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> thanks [18:59:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> when i tried it it just disappeared [19:01:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Yep, that would make sense, as there's no defaults assigned to any of those fields.

[19:41:12] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> So what you have now is a self-closed tag Let me show you an example, one second [19:42:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> ```<title source="title" /> [19:42:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <image source="image"> [19:42:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <caption source="imagecaption" /> [19:42:35] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> </image> [19:42:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="color" /> [19:42:38] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="tribe leader"><label>Tribe Leader</label></data> [19:42:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="inspiration" /> [19:42:41] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> </infobox>``` [19:42:44] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> An example of how you could change the tribe leader data section to have a label [19:44:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> icic [19:46:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> To center the title, you'll have to add something like: [19:46:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> ```.portable-infobox .pi-header, .portable-infobox .pi-title { [19:46:51] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> text-align: center; [19:46:53] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> }``` [19:46:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> [19:46:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> To your MediaWiki:Common.css page on your wiki [19:47:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> This adds CSS formatting which aligns the text to the center for that object [19:47:18] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i dont have a MediaWiki:Common.css page- [19:48:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You will if you go to https://<yourwiki>.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css, though it might be blank when you get there [19:48:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> replacing <yourwiki> with whatever your wiki's subdomain is. [19:48:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ok [19:49:17] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Code added to Common.css can take a few minutes to start working on every page, so don't be discouraged if the changes don't show up right away [19:49:49] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> AYY IT WORKED [19:50:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> uh is there a way to make the font not arial/helvetica/milk flavoured [19:52:18] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Possible, but I need to duck back out for RL duties, that'll be another CSS thing. [19:52:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> oki [20:01:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> waugh what [20:01:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077681483600371783/Screen_Shot_2023-02-21_at_12.01.08_PM.png [20:03:20] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Oh shoot, if you copied my code directly I think it didn't have both the opening and closing infobox tags [20:04:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> So you'll need an <infobox> tag at the start and an </infobox> tag at the end of the code [20:05:24] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> like this? [20:05:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077682474575986708/Screen_Shot_2023-02-21_at_12.05.11_PM.png [20:06:01] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Yep, that looks right [20:06:35] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> it still doesnt work,, [20:10:42] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> fixed, you were missing a closing / on the inspiration closing data tag [20:10:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [20:11:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Alright, going back to work for real now. 😄 [20:11:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> cya [20:51:21] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Adenin Konas> Oh yeah I like your template coding lol 🙂 [20:52:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ty! i literally knew nothing about coding or templates before today, so that really makes me feel happy lol :) [20:54:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Adenin Konas> https://tenor.com/view/compare-gif-18706679 [22:36:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <lucy louise> uhh im getting a 503 Backend fetch failed [22:36:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <lucy louise> is that a miraheze wide issue or just a me issue [22:42:18] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <lucy louise> it seems to have sorted now [22:48:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Michael Timko> Just ran across something weird in the Cosmos skin. When I use [[category]] to categorize articles, I get a tiny line of the same text displayed in the categories at the top of the screen. [22:48:56] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/category [22:48:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Michael Timko> [22:48:58] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Michael Timko> Anybody got any ideas why? Could it just be something wrong with the skin? [22:48:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Wiki-Bot> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category?action=edit&redlink=1> [22:54:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <electricboogaloo> does anyone know how I make it so no matter what if someone comes up in [[]] its blue and not red [22:54:33] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/ [22:56:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> That’s intentional. [22:57:10] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> The same way FandomDesktop/Oasis duplicated the categories at the top and bottom of the article. [22:57:21] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> what timezone is the announcement in? [22:57:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> Your local time [22:57:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Your own time zone. [22:57:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <electricboogaloo> . [22:57:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> oh [22:58:01] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Change the colour of non-existent links with CSS. [22:58:05] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> wait so it's coded for my timezone or is it just pst? [22:58:18] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Michael Timko> @Original Authority Thank you. This is the first time I seen a skin do this and it caught me off guard. [22:58:20] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> It will show you it in your time zone. [22:58:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> oh [22:58:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <electricboogaloo> how do I do this [22:59:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> I forgot what the selector is for red links. [23:01:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> how do i add citations? [23:02:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> Wrap your citations with `<ref></ref>` [23:02:35] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> and it'll turn them into citations [23:02:58] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> like <ref>https://example.com/news</ref> will turn that into a citation [23:03:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> do i have to make that an external link thing? [23:04:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <electricboogaloo> @Agent are you able to help with this [23:08:43] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> nvm, ty!

[00:06:05] [discord] <沙流> I have submitted it to phab, but is it difficult for the system to respond? [00:06:31] [discord] <沙流> I'm not the BC of the site so I can't re-install the extension right away [00:07:09] [discord] i want to add a custom font that isn't on google fonts, what's the best way to go about it? t4393 says "a CSP exemption from an operations member", but idk where to get that, and in my case it's hosted on github.com (not .io) [00:07:09] [discord] should i just base64 it and inline into the css? [00:14:59] [discord] we should probably detail how to go about that as that advice isn't the most up to date [00:15:07] [discord] Why not download the font and upload it to your wiki? [00:18:25] [discord] that's the second thing i tried but alas [00:18:25] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077383757679571054/image.png [00:18:56] [discord] ,,oh nvm found it [00:19:28] [discord] (`Media` → `$wgFileExtensions`, for future posterity) [00:20:44] [discord] how do I go to manage wiki to unlock it? [00:20:56] [discord] Unlock what? [00:20:57] [discord] simply Special:ManageWiki [00:21:12] [discord] assuming you are a bureaucrat and the wiki is closed and not literally locked, in which case different conversation [00:22:19] [discord] I got busy and hadn't edited it in 60 days and it closed [00:23:20] [discord] so yeah, as above [00:23:26] [discord] done [00:23:30] [discord] thanks for the help [00:24:06] [discord] Just make sure to commit a minor edit today, or the dormancy script will come knocking again w/in 24 hours. 🙂 [00:24:18] [discord] if the wiki is reopened locally it should be fine [00:24:32] [discord] Ah, good to know, that does count as an edit, doesn't it? [00:24:37] [discord] that would apply if it is reopened on meta in which case there is not a local log action, but a local managewiki action does count [00:24:53] [discord] and certain actions are excluded but that's things like renames, not local managewiki changes [00:25:31] [discord] understood [00:25:39] [discord] yes, anything you can see in the Recent Changes, including ManageWiki changes, counts towards activity [00:25:42] [discord] except renames [00:25:57] [discord] (I'd also like to include account creations as most are spam accounts but I digress) [00:27:20] [discord] ok weird thing 2: it insisted on changing the extension to `.sfnt` before i could upload, and now that i've done that the browser just ignores the font family entirely and switches to the next in line [00:31:23] [discord] @Agent @raidarr random q: I can't seem to find the cron/puppet bit that handles for dormancy reviews. Is that part of puppet or is that tucked away somewhere else in git? [00:33:08] [discord] [00:33:11] [discord] runs every 12 hours [00:33:17] [discord] and 5 minutes [00:33:19] [discord] lol [00:33:38] [discord] D'oh. Of course the one keyword I don't look for: "Inactive" [00:33:59] [discord] Was staring at this exact file and kept skipping right past it. [00:34:38] [discord] How punctual and also bizarre [00:34:46] [discord] It should probably be documented tbh [00:35:16] [discord] I'm sure there's a good reason for the offset, something about overloading a single timeslot w/ too many scheduled tasks [00:41:12] [discord] this happened with Another font so it's not just a quirk of the first one [00:41:17] [discord] but rather of mediawiki [00:42:25] [discord] it does accept .eot [00:55:52] [discord] how do I create pages? [00:57:44] [discord] NGINX is so much cleaner than Apache [00:57:56] [discord] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page [01:21:49] [discord] Hi everyone, I was wondering how I should go about importing common.css into my gadget css pages. I've tried the following import statements with no success: [01:21:50] [discord] [01:21:51] [discord] @import url("Common.css"); [01:21:53] [discord] @import ("Common.css"); [01:21:54] [discord] @import url("https://tfm.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css"); [01:26:08] [discord] MediaWiki:Common.css should be applied to every page load anyway. You shouldn't need to import it to a gadget page. [01:26:34] [discord] It's specifically for mobile, or would it be better for me to just copy and paste it for mobile? [01:29:52] [discord] I've read that copy and pasting the common.css for mobile is bad practice though, since it leads to multiple HTTP requests I think [01:34:20] [discord] Oh well, I'm not sure if this will work (given that mobile is wonky in the way that it is), but the proper format for importing a mediawiki css page is `@import url("https://tfm.miraheze.org/w/index.php?action=raw&ctype=text/css&title=MediaWiki:Common.css")` [01:35:14] [discord] Got it, I'll give that a shot, thank you Void [01:40:32] [discord] Works flawlessly, thank you again! [01:41:22] [discord] I'll be sure to keep &ctype and &title in mind [02:22:08] [discord] We are aware of some MWException errors. Apologies. Working on fixing now. [02:22:32] [discord] I was just wondering why I was getting fatal exception errors [02:23:22] [discord] Yeah, sorry about that. Looks like every page on ever wiki might be affected... [02:23:44] [discord] Should be back in a couple minutes. [02:24:34] [discord] Partially back (50% back), sometimes still getting them. Should be fully back soon. [02:24:44] [discord] <-florgen-> how do i make a navbox on miraheze? [02:24:57] [discord] <-florgen-> sorry im a bit new (read: just made an account today-) [02:25:45] My favorite is the title being `Internal error - {{SITENAME}}` [02:25:45] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:SITENAME [02:25:57] I didn't even know the element was a mediwiki message [02:26:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> wait what is this [02:27:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> We should be almost completely back now. Apologies for that everyone. [02:28:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> back from what? [02:29:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> That was my fault, I forgot adding new magic words completely breaks i18n until it is rebuilt, so caused MWException and broken localisation cache on all wikis on every page momentarily. I apologise. [02:29:46] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> help what are these words [02:30:38] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <florigon> https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words [02:31:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ohh ok [02:31:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Abracadabra? 🧐 [02:45:51] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> @Original Authority What's going on with Telepedia? I get a special pages error when I try to view the list of special pages on New Qualitipedia [02:46:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Haven't experienced that error? Can you PM me the link? [02:46:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> Here: https://newqualitipedia.telepedia.net/wiki/Special:SpecialPages [02:46:45] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> anyone [02:47:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> I see it [02:47:40] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> So how can you fix it? [02:47:58] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Well you just brought it to my attention like 5 seconds ago so I'm looking... [02:48:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> bro i am so confused,, [02:52:13] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Can you check now? [02:52:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> It's fixed now [02:52:47] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Original Authority> Thanks for bringing it up :thumb [02:53:14] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> how do i make a navbox [02:53:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> You're welcome [02:58:45] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Centurie> How do i edit the side bar of my wiki? [02:58:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Navboxes: I don't have the time to do this in full depth, but here's the basics. [02:59:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Centurie> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077424190556225616/image.png [02:59:06] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Mediawiki uses templates and modules to extend what it can do. [02:59:27] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> mhm [03:00:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> The `MediaWiki:Sidebar` page. [03:00:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Centurie> ok [03:00:24] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Here's an example of a template I created on meta that is a navbox. You can click 'edit source' to see the code that makes it work [03:00:25] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Navbox_NewAdminGuide_NA [03:00:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> There is also the StructuredNavigation extension. [03:01:06] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> When things are called like {{Navbox}}, that's calling a template named navbox. you can find that page on a wiki at Template:Navbox [03:01:06] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Navbox [03:01:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Wiki-Bot> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Navbox> [03:01:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You need to copy the template called navbox (and any other templates or modules it requires into your wiki) to make your own using that particular template [03:02:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> oh wow [03:03:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> This is essentially giving your wiki the instructions for 'what is a navbox', 'what can a navbox do', 'what should a navbox look like' [03:03:31] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> It's a bit of setup initially, but thankfully that part usually only needs to be done once [03:04:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> There are some other table-based options that are a little less scaleable, you can also find more about those here: [03:04:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Ultimate_Dark_Carnage/Carnage%27s_Guide_to_Templates:_Navboxes [03:05:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so can i just copy-paste that code and edit the links? [03:06:25] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Not exactly. That page requires another page called Template:Navbox to exist on the same wiki [03:06:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [03:06:46] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> So you'll need to create a corresponding page on your wiki by that name and copy the code from https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Navbox [03:07:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Template:Navbox requires Module:Navbox, so same thing there -- create a page by the same name, copy over the code from Meta [03:08:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i've never done any wiki or fandom stuff before, how do i make a new page? [03:08:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You'll probably continue to get one-off error messages saying 'such and such Module not found', keep following that trail and eventually the errors will clear up [03:08:48] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page [03:08:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ty! [03:09:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so do i just write like, [[this]], then it'll make a red link [03:09:52] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/this [03:09:53] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Wiki-Bot> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/This?action=edit&redlink=1> [03:09:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You're welcome. It's a bit of a steep learning curve initially but I promise it does plateau pretty quick [03:09:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Exactly [03:10:11] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> and then i have to make a page out of that and it'll turn blue? [03:10:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> 💯 👍 [03:10:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> cool [03:10:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i sound like a second grader rn fugyhkj [03:11:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> do i put the link on the main page? [03:11:38] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You don't even necessarily need to put a link anywhere. [03:11:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ? [03:12:11] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> If you went to https://<yourwiki>.miraheze.org/wiki/bread and a page didn't already exist, it would open up a prompt to create a new page titled Bread [03:12:19] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ohh ok [03:13:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Need to use the `/auth` command to verify your wiki user on discord in order to send links, but yeah, you've got the syntax correct. [03:13:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> augh ok [03:13:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> I need to call it a night though, good luck! [03:14:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ty! [04:45:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> Any other wikis seen a number of suspicious account creations in the last week or so? I am not generally wary of new accounts, these are just kinds similarly named w/no edits [04:46:05] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i made some edits and i made my own wiki [04:46:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i think i'm a real human [04:46:11] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so uh [04:46:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <BWM> which ones [04:46:42] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> I would be very concerned for you if you were suspicious of yourself [04:47:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> They aren't like, cross-wiki creations, but specific sign ups. And of course they haven't done anything wrong [04:48:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> mm [04:50:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> I apologize to Janessa is she is real but <https://criticalrole.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:JanessaLeedom75> an example [04:51:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> Callum is another <https://criticalrole.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:CallumHeydon> [04:52:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> its giving tumblr p*rnbot [04:54:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <RebeccaBunch> I was gonna say, maybe tumblr has made me all 🤨 [04:55:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> real [04:58:48] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> we switched from ReCAPTCHA to hCaptcha but it seems hCaptcha isn't as effective as ReCAPTCHA [04:58:51] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> which sucks [04:59:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <CosmicAlpha> because recaptcha blocked to many legitimate accounts, hcaptcha is still better for that reason. [05:21:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Legroom> lol trully tumblr bot vibes [09:20:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Gautier> You need to go first to Special:RegisterNewsletter, then they’ll appear in Special: Newsletter [09:21:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Gautier> No idea for that? [11:50:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Cocopuff2018> if you want a background for you're wiki, i recommend using cosmos skin, its way easier to use for backgrounds, and wiki designs [12:53:30] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <shirleynitzsche> I'll help anyone interested in how to earn $30k within 3 days and hours but you will reimburse me 10% of your dividend when you collect it.

Before you joined [13:07:36] <Orange_Star> I read the logs [13:08:06] <Naleksuh> Oh right there are logs [13:08:12] <Naleksuh> Damn that's really dumb [13:08:20] <Naleksuh> Of course it is all logged by discord anyway [13:08:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <raidarr> lol [13:09:21] <Naleksuh> Logging is not funny [13:12:49] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <raidarr> ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ [13:14:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <raidarr> I don't see how it is possibly dumb, shocking or out of the ordinary either [13:27:27] <Orange_Star> Naleksuh: Logs are pretty cool, wdym? [13:35:20] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Gautier> I actually managed to add a background with no problem but I just want it to stay fixed. [13:59:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Legroom> I mean, it's hard to give or receive tech support w/o possibility to look up old messages, especially w/ volunteer environment and time zones [14:35:17] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> Yo, a bit of question: since Cloudflare allow CNAME flattening within the root domain, may a SSL be issued for that domain, if I create a CNAME for root domain to your `mw-lb.miraheze.org`? [14:35:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> With DNS Only mode of course... [14:36:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> Or can I use their universal certicate as my provider? [14:39:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> This might be a must be answer question, as I tries to use songngu.xyz for a CNAME pointed to a third-party Mastodon hosting service, and it work... [14:49:12] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <OatCookies> Goodnight! [14:59:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> Yes [16:20:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> The skin author is pretty active in the discussion page for their skin, if you don't find any luck here: [16:20:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Citizen [16:21:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Citizen isn't the most commonly-used skin on Miraheze, so it might be a little challenging to find someone w/ the context to help/ [16:22:21] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> I'll see if I can take a crack at the problem once I've got a free moment [16:22:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> Phabricator goes brrr [16:23:18] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Pisces Kaze> Will be back for a few moments. [16:27:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Testing this locally on my wiki, it works as intended, I scroll and the content moves across the background image. I recommend testing in your personal preferences CSS to see if the behavior is a caching issue... [17:03:42] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> Hi [17:05:46] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> How can i increase the amount of title hierarchies for my wiki? [17:05:47] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> The default goes from H1 to H6. Is there a wat to increase the amount of levels in this hierarchy with local admin rights? Maybe CSS or some settings? [17:08:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> For example i would like to increase it to something like this: [17:08:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> <https://avengium.miraheze.org/wiki/Prueba_de_títulos> [17:08:35] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> Is it possible to increase? [17:13:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Gummiel> Unlikely, as HTML itself only have up to h6 AFAIK [17:13:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> H1 through H6 are native HTML tags. I don't believe you can (or should) try to introduce a 7th [17:14:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> Oh, i didn't knew that [17:15:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Avengium 𓂀> Then is done. Thanks [17:16:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> The choice in header tags also has some mild SEO implications, here's a fun article on that which goes into a bit more detail: [17:16:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> https://medium.com/swlh/html-heading-tags-best-practices-78a85f63df47 [17:16:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Though, as with anything SEO, take it as gentle guidance, not an ironclad rule. [17:43:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> Actually Google spider is really aggressive now, headers now count as links [17:44:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> For example you have a character page, headers are "Character introduction", "Lore", etc... Google will also account Character introduction and Lore as links [17:51:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> No BS SEO guide: https://learningseo.io/ [17:53:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Eytirth> My wiki is #2 if you search "Taerel" , with its tvtropes page #1 [17:53:11] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> how do i make a file thing like this? [17:53:12] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> https://rtl.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Great_Britain_(1707%E2%80%931800).svg [17:54:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> What do you mean by that? Generate PNG version of SVG or put that file on a page? [17:54:20] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> put a file on a page [17:54:31] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> [[file:filename.svg]] [17:54:31] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/file:filename.svg [17:54:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Wiki-Bot> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Filename.svg?action=edit&redlink=1> [17:54:51] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Either Special:Upload, the upload button found on most pages, or going to a page as above [17:55:13] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [17:55:16] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> cool [17:57:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so, like this?

[17:58:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> yeah [17:58:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> is that bad [17:58:52] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> no, it just that you forgot the file extension [17:59:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [18:00:53] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ok so how do i make an infobox? [18:02:26] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Tali64> You have multiple options, you can use PortableInfobox or import the Wikipedia infobox templates/modules [18:02:47] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> what's a PortableInfobox? [18:03:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <max20091> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PortableInfobox [18:04:14] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [18:04:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> what's the difference between it and the wikipedia one? [18:04:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Eytirth> Wikipedia is lots of "this template needs this temple to work" [18:05:05] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [18:05:19] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Eytirth> That one linked just needs an add-on to work [18:05:42] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so how do i use the the add-on? [18:05:48] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Eytirth> @Lake Can help you if you need help template coding [18:06:02] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> mm [18:07:22] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> We use the same interface as Fandom, so their help documentation works: [18:07:22] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> PortableInfobox Main Documentation (fandom) - https://portability.fandom.com/wiki/Portable_Infoboxes [18:07:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Generalized Help Page with Examples (fandom) - https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Infoboxes#Examples [18:07:24] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Additional Implementation Examples (fandom) - https://portability.fandom.com/wiki/Example_communities#Portable_Infoboxes [18:07:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> woahmygod [18:37:25] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> waugh idk what happened [18:37:25] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077660329334538311/Screen_Shot_2023-02-21_at_10.36.59_AM.png [18:37:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i copypasted this from the first link above: [18:37:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <infobox> [18:37:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <title source="title" /> [18:37:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <image source="image"> [18:37:57] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <caption source="imagecaption" /> [18:37:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> </image> [18:38:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <data source="color" /> [18:38:01] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <data source="tribe leader" /> [18:38:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> <data source="inspiration" /> [18:38:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> </infobox> [18:41:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> Did you enable PortableInfobox? [18:41:41] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> wait how do i do that? [18:42:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> Click the "Manage this wiki's extensions" link on the sidebar [18:42:13] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> and then go to the Parser hooks section and search for the extension [18:43:21] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> mm [18:43:23] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> got it [18:43:56] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so then the portableinfobox will work? [18:50:19] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Agent> It should, yes [18:51:15] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ok [18:56:31] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> The parser sometimes doesn't like trailing spaces. [18:56:58] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> So you might need to change it to: [18:56:59] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> ```<infobox> [18:57:00] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <title source="title" /> [18:57:01] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <image source="image"> [18:57:03] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <caption source="imagecaption" /> [18:57:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> </image> [18:57:05] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="color" /> [18:57:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="tribe leader" /> [18:57:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="inspiration" /> [18:57:09] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> </infobox>``` [18:59:46] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah [18:59:47] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> thanks [18:59:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> when i tried it it just disappeared [19:01:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Yep, that would make sense, as there's no defaults assigned to any of those fields. Without values to render, the infobox doesn't show up. [19:01:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ohh [19:02:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> How you can test whether it's working: on another page, try creating an infobox like so: [19:02:36] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> [19:02:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> {{Infobox_Tribe [19:02:38] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> |title={{PAGENAME}} [19:02:38] <wm-bot> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:PAGENAME [19:02:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> }} [19:02:41] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <Wiki-Bot> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/PAGENAME?action=edit&redlink=1> [19:02:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ah ok [19:15:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ok so i have a couple questions: [19:15:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> 1. how do i make the title centered [19:15:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> 2. how do i make the title separate from the picture?

[19:39:41] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> No, you can have labels [19:39:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> so how do i put them in? [19:41:12] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> So what you have now is a self-closed tag Let me show you an example, one second [19:42:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> ```<title source="title" /> [19:42:33] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <image source="image"> [19:42:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <caption source="imagecaption" /> [19:42:35] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> </image> [19:42:37] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="color" /> [19:42:38] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="tribe leader"><label>Tribe Leader</label></data> [19:42:39] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> <data source="inspiration" /> [19:42:41] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> </infobox>``` [19:42:44] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> An example of how you could change the tribe leader data section to have a label [19:44:04] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> icic [19:46:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> To center the title, you'll have to add something like: [19:46:50] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> ```.portable-infobox .pi-header, .portable-infobox .pi-title { [19:46:51] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> text-align: center; [19:46:53] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> }``` [19:46:54] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> [19:46:55] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> To your MediaWiki:Common.css page on your wiki [19:47:08] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> This adds CSS formatting which aligns the text to the center for that object [19:47:18] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> i dont have a MediaWiki:Common.css page- [19:48:07] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> You will if you go to https://<yourwiki>.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css, though it might be blank when you get there [19:48:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> replacing <yourwiki> with whatever your wiki's subdomain is. [19:48:32] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> ok [19:49:17] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Code added to Common.css can take a few minutes to start working on every page, so don't be discouraged if the changes don't show up right away [19:49:49] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> AYY IT WORKED [19:50:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> uh is there a way to make the font not arial/helvetica/milk flavoured [19:52:18] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Possible, but I need to duck back out for RL duties, that'll be another CSS thing. [19:52:34] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> oki [20:01:28] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> waugh what [20:01:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1077681483600371783/Screen_Shot_2023-02-21_at_12.01.08_PM.png [20:03:20] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> Oh shoot, if you copied my code directly I think it didn't have both the opening and closing infobox tags [20:04:29] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <NotAracham> So you'll need an <infobox> tag at the start and an </infobox> tag at the end of the code [20:05:24] <mhbridgebot> [discord] <-florgen-> like this?
