[00:26:02] [discord] Hoo boy cargo [00:27:01] [discord] Well that special page works now [00:31:43] [discord] yea it fixed itself [00:32:19] [discord] The simplest problem to solve: the one that fixes itself. šŸ™‚ [00:34:52] [discord] so does anyone know why https://genshinimpact.miraheze.org/wiki/Oceanborne isnt properly being added to the `talent_table` table [00:34:53] [url] Oceanborne - Genshin Impact Wiki | genshinimpact.miraheze.org [00:35:05] [discord] the https://genshinimpact.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Talent_Infobox template is what is supposed to add it [00:35:06] [url] Template:Talent Infobox - Genshin Impact Wiki | genshinimpact.miraheze.org [00:40:41] [discord] Check the page values page for that page [00:42:44] [discord] sorry but idk what that means im not too smart [00:43:55] [discord] ?action=pagevalues at the end [00:46:20] [discord] Hmm thereā€™s nothing for the table but something there for _pageData [00:46:26] [discord] What if you recreate the table? [00:48:15] [discord] If that doesnā€™t work try empty edit [00:49:13] [discord] If neither work then pray that it appears magically in the next hour or so lol [00:57:58] [discord] filed a request for GIWA [00:58:14] [discord] hereā€™s hoping [01:00:07] [discord] Not necessarily opposed to it, but I have a concern related to it that I'll post via comment form [01:03:39] [discord] https://chesapeakerp.miraheze.org/wiki/Dixie [01:03:39] [url] Dixie - Adalida Wiki | chesapeakerp.miraheze.org [01:03:59] [discord] or @NotAracham [01:04:40] [discord] Won't have bandwidth to help, but the answer will be some form of CSS [01:09:15] [discord] yeah no worries, always happy to answer questions [01:10:09] [discord] really the only problem is how limited the role is in function and in traffic [01:10:24] [discord] It's not a question, just something I'd thought I bring up related to something I found via talk page archives [01:10:28] [discord] I'm not opposed but I think I've made my position on such roles clear in the past [01:17:41] [discord] what do you mean? [01:18:05] [discord] @ChaoticShadow i've done all of those [01:18:58] [discord] oh no haha my talk page archives are an absolute mess [01:19:17] [discord] No, it's more like old revisions of your talk page [01:19:23] [discord] I already posted the comment [01:20:18] [discord] We'll need probably a steward to weigh in on that, there's been a few overlapping conditions over the years (that haven't been tracked well) and some of them are no longer in effect. [01:20:27] [discord] I'd thought all limitations aside from t&s had expired [01:20:40] [discord] and from t&s I only remember one condition [01:20:57] [discord] That's my recall as well, there's also other stuff w/ PTW but we don't need to rehash that right now. [01:21:47] [discord] indeed, only speaking in meta terms [01:22:07] [discord] it might have been helpful to incude the exact diff for review that is being brought up [01:23:39] [discord] Here: https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BrandonWM&type=revision&diff=255200&oldid=255145&diffmode=source [01:23:40] [url] User talk:BrandonWM: Difference between revisions - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [01:23:42] [discord] I vaguely remember that [01:23:46] [discord] and I tried to dig it up [01:23:49] [discord] but I couldn't [01:24:22] [discord] Yeah I didnā€™t even remember that [01:24:24] [discord] Interesting [01:24:27] [discord] it was some obscure condition [01:24:40] [discord] @Agent if you would like me to rescind i can [01:24:52] [discord] Another reason why talk pages should be archived and not just "archived in the history" [01:25:40] [discord] yeah iā€™ve begun that practice and will be continuing it [01:25:41] [discord] Technically recent RfCs created by BWM would also have been invalid based on those conditions, however that wasn't raised at thos etimes. [01:25:50] [discord] Interesting [01:25:52] [discord] That is true [01:26:03] [discord] An argument perhaps that those conditions could be considered invalid. [01:26:15] [discord] i vaguely recall that there was an exception that it could be done if i had consulted with an experienced user beforehand and they approved? [01:26:39] [discord] but i donā€™t even know [01:27:21] [discord] The restriction on you requesting any permissions requiring community vote applied to you self-nominating yourself; another user had to nominate you [01:27:49] [discord] yeah so itā€™s up to @Agent i guess [01:27:55] [discord] I don't count as a consult, btw, though I guess I now would. šŸ™‚ [01:28:18] [discord] On account of this technicality, I'm willing to waive that restriction for this RfGR as basically everyone forgot about that and it's unfair to subject you to something you were unaware of [01:28:42] [discord] will there need to be a formal appeal going forward for the restrictions applied [01:29:16] [discord] i canā€™t even remember what restrictions are in effect and which arenā€™t anymore, I believe @raidarr did away with most of the Steward ones back in the day [01:29:18] [discord] If you want but any decision is up to a reviewing administrator [01:29:44] [discord] iā€™ll put something on AN in a bit [01:29:49] [discord] true haha [01:30:09] [discord] iā€™ll be back in an hour [01:34:38] [discord] On account of this technicality, I'm willing to waive that restriction for this RfGR as basically everyone forgot about that and it's unfair to subject you to something you were unaware of [01:35:05] This makes sense for not blocking but why does that mean the restriction is waived entirely? [01:43:54] [discord] The waiver is specifically for this request instance, the larger set of rules will be reviewed later. [01:44:12] I don't really think that's how restrictions work [01:45:03] [discord] How to import pages? [01:45:24] [discord] I have the wiki file, I go to where it says to import, but it stays working and I get an error [01:45:49] [discord] How large is the file you're trying to import, and does it end with .xml? [01:46:38] [discord] 948kb and is .xml [01:47:05] [discord] Hmmm, that should be small enough for self-import. What's the error message you're getting? [01:47:32] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1082479618872852521/image.png [01:47:37] [discord] naleksuh: itā€™s at sysop discretion [01:47:38] [discord] Just refresh [01:47:42] [discord] @BWM i wasn't around when you were blocked or anything like that but whatever happened then, you seem to have improved [01:47:51] [discord] Sure? [01:47:53] [discord] Whenever you get a 5XX error, just refresh and it'll work fine [01:47:58] [discord] @Chelepicante if you cant import something, refresh multiple times and wait [01:47:59] [discord] could you post a message on my RfGR confirming the waiver? [01:48:01] [discord] It's normally just a one time thing [01:48:08] [discord] just so itā€™s from an official source [01:48:09] [discord] or only refresh once [01:48:15] [discord] if it is fixed the second time [01:48:21] [discord] *fixed upon the first refresh [01:48:28] [discord] if it doesnt work still then come back here [01:48:28] @BrandonWM Not really, though [01:48:44] Yes, but the point is that sysops do not have the authority to unilaterally "waive" them, so a post onwiki would not help [01:48:59] Agent could however, nominate BrandonWM, since the restriction is only for self-noms [01:49:09] [discord] I receive the: [01:49:10] [discord] The page you are looking for used the information you specified. Going back to the page could cause you to repeat some action. Do you want to continue? [01:49:26] [discord] I'll give it continue [01:50:13] [discord] yes [01:50:16] [discord] continue [01:50:38] [discord] Here goes the third [01:51:02] [discord] The file also has templates and other things, should it work like this? [01:51:13] [discord] if its still not working after trying many times use [[Special:RequestImportDump]] [01:51:13] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestImportDump [01:51:13] [discord] [01:51:14] [url] Not logged in - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [01:52:01] [discord] naleksuh: do the semantics really matter [01:52:41] @BrandonWM To be honest, yeah they do. I wasn't suggesting you should be blocked but I don't want to get into a precedent of "restrictions can just be ignored or overriden" [01:52:50] [discord] if the restriction falls upon who's nominating you even though a steward/sysop approved your nomination then it just seems like pointless bureaucracy to me [01:52:51] And to be fair you do have a history of violating topic bans [01:53:16] [discord] By the way, do uploaded pages count as pages? I already did a test and I don't count them as such [01:53:31] [discord] uh i think so [01:54:18] [discord] If you're referring to the page count displayed on the homepage, that doesn't update in real-time. [01:54:34] [discord] Ah ok [01:54:46] [discord] If the page meets criteria for a count as 'article', then it will eventually count even if it originated as an upload [02:12:11] [discord] @Tali64 thanks for pointing the restriction out by the way [02:13:01] [discord] You're welcome [02:14:24] [discord] Maybe delete and remake the table? Other than that I got nothing cuz sometimes cargo just doesn't want to work and then suddenly it does lol [02:14:43] [discord] it was forgotten and even though it doesnā€™t help me necessarily haha i appreciate the transparency so it could be resolved [02:18:25] [discord] i see [02:18:26] [discord] i might [02:18:28] [discord] do that [02:18:29] [discord] later [03:15:15] [discord] @Meta-Wiki Administrators for those that are testwiki consuls, could someone close the TestWiki RfCs when they have time? [03:15:36] [discord] they've been open for a while and no changes have been made, so they might as well be closed because it's just stale right now [03:25:27] [discord] Why are you ping meta administrators for testwiki issues? [03:25:46] [discord] a lot of Meta admins are testwiki consuls [03:30:38] [discord] I'd probably refer to active testwiki consuls directly tbh [03:30:52] [discord] active and testwiki is an even slimmer list [03:31:21] [discord] true but there's no @ for that and i'd have to ping each individually [03:43:46] Also #miraheze-testwiki exists for a reason [03:43:53] I don't think it's bridged to discord, though [03:44:30] [discord] not on Discord [03:44:31] [discord] yeah [04:22:26] [discord] we've got the reports extension enabled chez nous, but i'd prefer the problemreports extension at shoutwiki bc dropdown and translucent popup is more user-friendly imo http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Help:Reporting_a_problem documentation seemed to only be on shoutwiki and i couldn't find its public source code or anything. any of y'all have the skinny on this? ofc it would be ideal to straight-import problemreports as an [04:22:26] [url] Help:Reporting a problem - ShoutWiki Hub | www.shoutwiki.com [04:25:16] [discord] We do not support ShoutWiki and as far as I know, have no ability to migrate extensions from their platforms over to ours as MediaWiki isn't ShoutWiki [04:34:17] [discord] Well, that's not strictly true... Shoutwiki does use MediaWiki, but a much older version with lots of custom stuff on top [04:35:44] [discord] Shoutwiki uses only a few versions older I think, and they dont open-source all of their extensions, but don't have core hacks themselves I think. [04:37:39] [discord] Despite being listed as GPL 2 on their special:version page, it seems like that problemreports is closed-source proprietary [04:38:01] [discord] Trying to get confirmation on that [04:42:21] [discord] Yeah, total dead-end... [04:45:16] [discord] Their version of Monaco is closed-source also, somewhat oddly for that one... [04:50:21] [discord] I believe Monaco was (or is?) a paid feature back in the 2010s [04:52:09] [discord] Maybe it is. I also maintain an open-sourced version of Monaco now also. Monaco has had so many forks and maintainers over the year. Quite a history, unlike any other skin. It started out on Fandom, then Wikia years and years ago... [04:54:07] [discord] It is had like 4 different maintainers (as different forks) (the version I maintain), plus the original Wikia version, and the Shoutwiki version. [04:56:04] [discord] too bad, but ty for confirming it's not public. i'll keep tinkering on our interface [04:56:24] Hello raidarrr! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon. [05:29:13] [discord] wtf [05:40:01] [discord] wat [05:47:03] [discord] More IRC spam-dummies [05:49:04] [discord] metawiki logged me out again [05:49:12] [discord] i checked my cookies [05:49:19] [discord] and it had past logins and saved username cookies [05:49:22] [discord] but not session cookies [06:46:44] [discord] it's been an issue with me lately as well, and other users i know [06:46:49] [discord] no idea on the cause [06:46:53] [discord] @cosmci [06:47:19] [discord] [[phab:T10456]] [06:47:19] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/phab:T10456 [06:47:20] [discord] [06:47:21] [url] āš“ T10456 Investigate session issues with users getting logged out | phabricator.miraheze.org [06:49:16] [discord] yeah i se [06:49:19] [discord] *see [06:54:17] [discord] @paladox what do you think would happen if we use CACHE_DB for session cache? (just wondering your opinion) also. Trying to find the best way to avoid these session issues, which I am thinking is caused by key evictions in memcached due to it more aggressive caching in 1.39, so a lot more is cached now. [07:22:30] @CosmicAlpha Is it just the local wikis or the entire cookie set [07:22:39] Login attach hasn't worked on Miraheze for a while now [08:05:08] Naleksuh: I am not sure what you mean. [08:05:18] Logging out [08:05:36] Also do you want to do anything about the IP on meta? Nobody as blocked yet??? [08:06:33] Everytime I go on Meta I get logged out almost immediately right now, so I am not doing anything until we resolve this. It is far too annoying. [08:07:31] You are not doing anything about an IP doxxing someone because you might get logged out? [08:07:41] [discord] I presume itā€™ll try and use objectcache table? But Iā€™m not entirely sure tbh. [08:07:42] I can't even login. [08:07:59] I just get session errors now. [08:08:12] [discord] I have not had issues with login, Iā€™m still logged in [08:09:29] Oh wait Naleksuh what is going on with doxxing [08:09:41] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/20.190.22.62 [08:09:52] But you didn't want to deal with it because oh no cookies [08:11:20] not by choice, I can't even login... and yes I tried clearing cookies, and even in incognito. What the hell... this error is something new (well for me at this time)... [08:12:20] I will try a maintenance script to wipe my session data and try again. [08:12:41] [discord] Yeah, it would use objectcache. [08:12:52] [discord] whopps wrong reply message. [08:13:16] [discord] meant to reply here. [08:15:15] [discord] You can try it [08:16:02] [discord] But I donā€™t feel like it will fix your issue as the problem would have started years ago not recently and also would be affecting everyone. [08:17:03] [discord] it's central auth error or MWs itself? [08:18:47] [discord] Someone's been doxed on our wiki and it's the middle of the night for the administrators. Anyone available to help delete it? [08:18:59] [discord] paladox: 1.39 caches like 4x more. [08:19:03] [discord] @paladox [08:20:07] @RebeccaBunch which wiki? [08:20:41] [discord] Criticalrole [08:20:44] [discord] Ok [08:25:55] Hum, did someone do something to sessions? [08:28:33] Well it's been nearly an hour and the dox parade is still going on with no signs of stopping [08:28:44] Guys it's 12 past midnight I want to go to bed :( [08:28:54] @CosmicAlpha @paladox Time for SRE to do something [08:29:33] [discord] I do not know what to do with 20.190.22.62 one! Sends on every discussion page that Naleksuh was banned [08:29:35] [discord] @CosmicAlpha [08:29:47] [discord] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/20.190.22.62 [08:29:49] [url] User contributions for 20.190.22.62 - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [08:31:07] [discord] I don't get how exactly they doxx [08:31:08] [discord] they look up accidental logged out edits and users? [08:31:26] [discord] ? [08:31:43] [discord] i meant Kumioko... Kumioko Was banned [08:31:58] [discord] I meant Kumioko... Kumioko was banned [08:32:10] [discord] @Meta-Wiki Administrators @Stewards I can't login at all now, as I locked my account for two hours for trying to much apparently even though I only kept reloading from the 504s I kept getting. [08:32:10] [discord] Can someone handle please? [08:32:49] [discord] Don't you have the permission `unblockself`? [08:33:42] [discord] I locked my account, saying to many incorrect password attempts, not blocked it. (i know my password was wrong, logging in just was giving 504s now, and reloading apparently upped that counter) [08:34:15] [discord] Apparently all the up to two hours, I thought it started at 5 minutes... [08:34:18] [discord] The accounts Kumioko and Zedebe do not even exist on Miraheze [08:34:38] [discord] @CVT [08:35:12] [discord] Yeah, 20.190.22.62 seems to be spamming [08:35:56] @Justman10000 You are contributing nothing [08:36:05] This IP is an LTA and is doxxing and should be blocked by the first edit [08:36:13] We are here because everybody but me is sleeping or something [08:36:33] [discord] Why does this have to happen right now??? the worst possible time... [08:37:17] [discord] Well, if I were a steward, I could have taken care of it.... But no... [08:37:51] [discord] And sorry that I am only a menshc, and not always see through either [08:38:04] [discord] And sorry that I am only a human, and not always see through either [08:38:14] You're fine. This is just a situation, you know... [08:38:45] [discord] Like mine? [08:39:00] No the situation on Miraheze [08:39:31] [discord] Yeah, what says *I don't contribute*? [08:40:05] [discord] Is anyone from @CVT here? [08:43:41] [discord] blocked [08:43:51] [discord] I reset my account password throttle. [08:44:14] [discord] šŸ‘ [08:44:30] [discord] Oh, you ar in the CVT [08:44:32] [discord] šŸ˜‚ [08:44:44] [discord] Yes. [08:44:52] fucking finally [08:44:58] That only took an hour [08:45:04] Now I will go to bed [08:45:07] (at 12:45 am) [08:45:36] It is 1:45AM here already. I'll be going now also. So sorry for that delay Naleksuh. [08:47:00] [discord] Thx for blocking, what abbot deleting the edits? [08:47:25] [discord] Seems it's been handled [08:47:43] [discord] @Reception123 should the revisions be OSed? [08:47:48] [discord] Not on our wiki, criticalrole [08:48:01] [discord] I blocked globally. [08:48:18] [discord] I'm not familiar with the situation but unless there's personal info I don't think it's necessary [08:48:25] [discord] There was. [08:48:34] [discord] I think. [08:48:41] [discord] It's all very personal and still on our wiki [08:48:58] [discord] It's doxing a trans woman [08:49:01] [discord] Looking at critical role now. [08:49:15] [discord] Tyty [08:51:00] [discord] If there is please send links via DM to the revisions/affected wikis [08:52:05] @RebeccaBunch Did you seriously say that there's doxing right after saying that the revisions shouldn't be OSed [08:52:14] Reception123 : Can you join IRC for links? [08:52:51] [discord] I absolutely did not, that was someone else [08:53:07] [discord] sure [08:53:10] [discord] These edits should definitely be oversighted [08:53:54] [discord] @Reception123 should the revisions be OSed? [08:53:54] 12:47:48 AM [discord] Not on our wiki, criticalrole [08:54:06] [discord] That was a reply to the previous comment!! [08:54:16] [discord] That it had been handled [08:54:43] [discord] I'm not familiar with the situation but unless there's personal info I don't think it's necessary [08:54:48] Oh that one is from Reception123 [08:56:11] [discord] That inference was not appreciated [08:57:11] Well, it doesn't look like anyone is going to handle it anyway :| [08:57:15] So, I suppose it does not matter [08:57:23] [discord] But anyway! I see the talk page edits were reverted but they'll also need to be deleted [08:57:46] Yeah [08:58:13] [discord] I have sent Reception123 the revisions to do so. As I am only a Global Sysop, not a Steward I can't oversight them, but I DMed them to @Reception123 to handle. [08:58:37] But you don't even have all the revisions?!?!?!?!?!??!! [08:58:49] [discord] I do on criticalrolewiki. [08:58:50] [discord] Thank you very much! I hate that they orchestrated this in the middle of the night on purpose [08:58:56] Also what about meta? [08:59:01] You are a meta sysop there so you can revdel [08:59:41] It wasn't the middle of the night when it started [08:59:44] [discord] Yes, but I also need sleep it is 2AM, I am trying to pass this to someone else to finish handling, since it is morning for Reception123 now. [09:04:58] [discord] Naleksuh: if we PM me the revisions I'll revdel them now, since PII is urgent in the absence of OS, I will revdel. [09:05:03] [discord] *you [09:05:16] [discord] :O [09:05:22] [discord] And then I'll sleep, hopefully by 3AM. [09:05:25] For meta it's literally just all the pages I reverted on, you can't miss them [09:05:28] [discord] db121!!! oh naur!! [09:05:50] [discord] What about db121? [09:05:56] [discord] went down for a sec but its back [09:06:06] [discord] locked for maintenance [09:06:08] [discord] wah [09:07:01] [discord] Fixed. [09:07:46] [discord] phew. thought I had to actually do something else with my life for a second there šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø [09:08:05] [discord] thanks ||we love miraheze administrators|| [09:51:07] [discord] @CosmicAlpha you've been missing on my DMs šŸ˜… [09:51:07] [discord] I've been busy. Ping me about 20 hours from now and I will probably reply. [09:51:07] [discord] he got to deal with quite a lot at one time this morning [09:51:07] [discord] Okie ~~(you could've told me you were busy in the DMs anyway~~ [09:51:07] [discord] let the man work, he's the most overloaded volunteer on miraheze [09:51:07] [discord] Btw that message was one month ago XD [09:51:07] [discord] ok, that might be a little while back and he probably missed it [09:51:07] [discord] I had that typed out in a response to your message today and got sidetracked with other things I never sent it. [09:51:07] [discord] Oh lmao [09:51:07] [discord] Gotcha [09:51:07] [discord] I'll ask you tmr [09:58:14] [discord] CosmicAlpha needs a 1-month paid vacation to the equator [10:01:05] [discord] indeed [10:01:18] [discord] plus a few visits to a cloning facility [10:01:59] [discord] selectively breeding (pause) CAlpha [10:11:57] [discord] uh...

Or? [11:39:00] [discord] what's going on [11:39:02] [discord] feels like more a glitch [11:39:30] [discord] 6 pings just after I register for Wikibase access :bruh: [11:39:36] [discord] It seems to be an error with the relay bot. Also CVT Is on wiki only so please don't ping for Discord/IRC matters [11:40:22] [discord] Oh and since you are here, I got an exception error while recreating my page. [11:40:34] [discord] # [11:41:54] [discord] And who for IRC? [11:42:45] [discord] The same people as Discord usually. But please also note that it's not necessary (and advised) to excessively ping people, especially for non-urgent matters. [11:42:51] [discord] A single ping is probably enough [11:43:22] [discord] It... Was just a ping? [11:48:53] [discord] How frequently are extensions updated on Miraheze from their github pages (or is it automatic?) A bug I reported for JsCalendar has been apparently fixed but it hasn't taken effect on my wiki yet (purged etc.), so just wanted to know when it's going to. [11:50:44] [discord] let's say it's semi-automatic. But I can update that for you now [11:51:38] [discord] That would be great, thank you. No rush also [11:51:43] [discord] @Reception123 It's been 5 days since I opened my discussion on the news wiki (https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_noticeboard#Discussion_on_community-run_news_wiki_about_Miraheze), and there are 4 supports to 3 opposes, with 2 abstains [11:51:46] [url] Community noticeboard - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [11:51:54] [discord] Would that be weak consensus in favor of or no consensus [11:53:34] [discord] It also depends on the arguments. For example, in this case the supports are quite short some of them just say "why not" while two of the opposes seem to be more articulated. One of the abstains also is very close to an oppose. So I'd say for there to be consensus there would have to be more support and stronger arguments. [11:56:00] [discord] Huh? [12:01:07] [discord] Should work in around 15-20 mins [12:02:28] [discord] I had an idea about making a wiki for news related to Miraheze. Reception suggested that I should hold a vote on the community noticeboard, which I did. [12:36:59] [discord] it's a strange vote, the consensus appears to be mixed skepticism [12:37:31] [discord] for my part I asked about management because well, that is a core component and the answer on-wiki didn't really specify *how* it would work out [12:42:22] [discord] I don't really have a concerte plan for management, but if the wiki's community gets large enough, there would probably be an RfP process [13:13:13] [discord] I press on the importance of it now because a coherent grasp on management is one of the essential factors to ensuring the skeptics aren't proven right [13:13:55] [discord] I don't mean having a full on rfp and rfc process from the beginning but a clear idea of who's there and what exactly they'll do is a good start and something of its 'gravity' shouldn't be left to a single person either [13:15:50] [discord] so what I suggest on that front at the least is probably a couple of people co-founding that include at the least mild mannered platform savvy people and probably someone who's in direct contact with, among or accountable to global cvt/stewards so issues can be addressed as expediently as possible [13:16:24] [discord] those people should then have a very easy line of contact like DMs open to bounce things, and then you have a start which can head off issues that may appear immediately [13:17:25] [discord] I'd also want to know exactly how the publication of news is supposed to work; blog oriented, where everyone has their 2c and maybe a category system for certain topics or publications? [13:18:21] [discord] I'd probably advise that approach over doing it all in the mainspace with ambiguous authors for pages since that is where the edit wars would take place and issues would mainly crop up [13:20:09] [discord] There would be a input box for creating news articles, with a template automatically added for crediting the author and exact date the article was published [13:20:37] [discord] And I know Bukkit has expressed interest in the possible wiki [13:27:06] [discord] I'd give a tentative yes, I've been wanting a way to more effectively offer platform news for some time and in fact I had thoughts of the gazetteer becoming a news thing; *if* the wiki is founded that's one way to realize it [13:27:36] [discord] the more I think of it though, the more I wonder if it really needs a full-on wiki: If we want to summarize miraheze news that can probably be done through a meta-level publication without needing a full wiki in place [13:28:16] [discord] the 'room' of a wiki is where the nice idea of just keeping people updated what's going on with miraheze becomes an issue because people will be inclined to go much further than that [13:29:09] [discord] if you have a group dedicated to just making a publication through Meta (and surely it would be topical) then you could probably cover quite a lot of ground and not worry as much about what people are so skeptical about [13:30:31] [discord] we have enough trouble with things as simple as miraheze meetings, so what about compromising with that smaller-scope idea, seeing if people are interested, and if it really needs room as to be a full on wiki, the topic can be revisited using said publication and its experience as a reference [13:31:05] [discord] you, bukkit and I could create a meta-space to coordinate and/or do so via discord and we could see where it goes [13:43:34] [discord] That would be a good plan in case the news wiki isn't created [13:49:53] [discord] well, give it some thought [14:09:59] [discord] Goodnight! [15:06:38] [discord] I'm fine with doing that btw [15:54:39] [discord] Is there a way to enable the "" on the wiki? [15:54:47] [discord] I'm about to finish [15:56:43] [discord] You need to enable one of the extensions that add tabbers if you didn't yet [15:56:58] [discord] How do I do it? [15:57:08] [discord] Go to `/Special:ManageWiki/extensions` on your wiki [15:57:45] [discord] And enable either Tabs or tabberNeue inder the Parser Hooks section [15:57:53] [discord] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Tabs [15:57:53] [url] Extension:Tabs - MediaWiki | www.mediawiki.org [15:57:54] [discord] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TabberNeue [15:57:55] [url] Extension:TabberNeue - MediaWiki | www.mediawiki.org [15:58:09] [discord] Please check for yourself which one you need [15:58:56] [discord] I already did. Now I guess I have to wait [15:59:21] [discord] This is also accessible through the admin tools dropdown as "Manage this wiki's extensions" along with other things :pupCoffeeMH: [15:59:40] [discord] Yeah, this can take a few minutes max. Refreshing or purging the page can help too [18:11:01] [discord] @IVORK reminder that the authentication bot's still down when you have time to take action. [18:11:02] [discord] Reference to original issue: https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1081009397360238683 [18:19:24] OK https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/nQPifAxT/image.png [18:21:55] [discord] It appears that we approved the same wiki twice at the same time [18:23:20] Yeah but 1) my message got completely erased 2) Why is it putting SQL queries right there? [18:24:16] [discord] *shrug* I'd prefer verbose failure to silent failure. Agreed that it's weird to be adding the message there, though. [18:38:12] [discord] Well, the wiki was created properly, so it's just a minor issue [18:57:31] [discord] love CreateWiki Extension or hate CreateWiki Extension he spitting fax [19:58:57] Naleksuh: please file a security task [22:38:19] [discord] I have a real good question that hopefully someone has the answer to. I am using an if/then statement so that mediawiki chooses between a image file inputted into a template or a default image if no image is specified. [22:38:19] [discord] If its possible, what I am trying to do is have the image link to a wiki article instead of just diplaying the image information when the image is clicked on. [22:38:21] [discord] Is it possible to modify the if/then statement to do this? [22:41:05] [discord] If I understand your right, you just need to add a link= parameter to the images https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images#Altering_the_default_link_target [22:41:06] [url] Help:Images - MediaWiki | www.mediawiki.org [22:41:14] [discord] Yes, it is possible to redirect to a wiki page when they click at the image [22:43:56] [discord] @Gummiel I understand "link=". I tried to use it as part of the if/then statement, but it didn't work. [22:45:57] [discord] I mean I haven't tried using images in general inside if parser functions (or are you writing lua modules?), so might need some adjustment to make it pick it up I geuss, can you provide a link to where you are trying it, so we can see your attempts. [22:49:03] [discord] This is the code I wrote for the parser function. [22:49:05] [discord] | align="left" | [[Image:{{#if:{{{deviceA}}}|{{{deviceA}}}|blank.png}}|75px]] [22:49:05] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23if:Template:%7b%7b%7bdeviceA https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Image:%7b%7b#if:%7b%7b%7bdeviceA%7d%7d%7d [22:52:49] [discord] Best as I can figure, if its possible, then the page link needs to be somewhere in the first part of the function before | which would account for the "then" part of the parser function. [22:53:16] [discord] I just cannot find the right place to make it work. [22:58:01] [discord] Ahh like that, yeah, it gets "confused" and thinks the | for the image parameter belongs to the if parser functions instead. To fix this I believe you can use `{{!}}` to substitute the | (a sort of global template, and thus works, even though it does not exist as a template on your local wiki). [22:58:01] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:! [22:58:02] [discord] Again not something I have ever had a need to mess with myself, but that is my understanding of where it could be used, as it basically then outputs it as text, and thus get ignored by the if parser function [23:22:05] [discord] @Gummiel Thank you. I will try that.
