[00:15:03] i was planning on seeing if i could add a search feature on managewiki, but apparently its not possible :p [00:15:05] what a shame [00:21:41] well, this could be possible but it would need some massive restructuring on ManageWiki, I imagine [00:23:50] [1/3] 🤔 🤔 [00:23:50] [2/3] maybe if we could include some way for JS to structure and then find the data [00:23:51] [3/3] but it's kinda painful to do that without a framework i know i have tried this before [00:24:18] yeah I mean a simple JS filter search wouldnt be too hard i feel like [00:24:27] hey i remember you [00:27:06] the one thing i hate about mediawiki's whole "but what about the users with JS disabled and users who still run IE 2 🥺" is that everything becomes more complicated than it could be if we just embraced newer web technologies [00:27:44] it's like shooting ourselves in the foot just for the good of the 0.1% of users who are too stubborn to google "chrome installation" [00:28:56] If Safari supports it and Chromium supports it and Mozilla supports it... [00:29:32] it took mediawiki until 1.36 just to support ES6 in resourceloader JS [00:31:00] since i only do some minor things in lua (aka roblox language, aka mediawiki module language, aka fivem extension language) [00:31:07] i have no idea what youre talking about [00:31:39] wait when was ecmascript 6 released [00:31:49] 2015 [00:32:34] took them like 5/6 years to support it??? [00:32:37] wow [00:32:56] I note that https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Board lists three board members even though there are nine seats to fill, including zero community members. Are you looking for board members? [00:33:38] im assuming ES6 brought some cool features or something? [00:33:42] and all major browsers have supported it since mid-2017 [00:33:56] yeah it introduced a lot of new handy syntax like arrow functions, let/const variables, etc [00:34:25] huh, well thats interesting [00:35:42] I have this module??? [00:35:50] link wiki [00:36:49] Will you be able to see it? It's a private wiki [00:37:04] oh, then no i wouldn't [00:37:08] did you go to `Module:Yesno` and make sure it was there? [00:37:09] Responding to Inflation, technically the community roles are entirely at the community discretion at any time, though there are some requirements (as noted on the Community Director page) for both eligibility and election [00:37:28] inflation: we are indeed always looking for community members to fill up the Board, yes [00:38:09] Nandos, if you've confirmed the module exists on your wiki, I'd try using the Purge action (often found under a drop-down labeled More, but depends on the wiki's skin) to force a re-render of the page. [00:39:00] re: above, reminds me that I want to push out a Global interface admin RfC for technically competent users who want to help out more [00:39:54] i mean, i dont really see a necessity for one but more hats for people i guess :p [00:39:58] Agent, what about appointed members? [00:40:42] The Board is mostly interested in seeking new community directors. Appointed members can definitely be considered if they can bring something significant to the project [00:41:50] Purge didn't do anything [00:42:07] It even shows the error on the module:yesno page lmao but the rest of the module is there on the page [00:43:23] Hmmmmmmm, that makes me think there's something else at issue here. [00:43:39] Could you screenshot the Module yesno page with the error? [00:47:04] Okay so I tried importing it again and now the error is slightly different hollon [00:48:58] Is this a public wiki [00:49:15] I ask because sometimes it's easiest to help if a link is provided. [00:49:43] It's private [00:49:50] Ah, gotcha. [00:50:03] Are you sure that page is in the Module namespace? [00:50:06] it looks like it may be in the mainspace [00:50:06] So that looks like a page called yesno, not a page called Module:Yesno [00:50:16] What dorito said. 🙂 [00:54:02] [1/2] Main namespace has no (blank) prefix, pagename --> `YesNo` [00:54:03] [2/2] Module namespace has `Module:` prefix, pagename --> `Module:YesNo` [00:55:54] I think it's in the right namespace? [00:58:59] And issue is still happening [00:59:05] Hmm [01:07:41] Purge again? [01:08:23] Okay so I deleted it and imported it again and it seems to have fixed at least for now [01:09:07] Thanks all for helping me through this stuff this is my first wiki [01:10:19] This is the way it goes. The folks who start with these questions often end up being the ones answering them just a few months later. [01:10:30] to be honest there's not a huge need for board members in particular in light of what the platform needs in genuine technical roles specifically [01:10:32] Myself included in that sample. 🙂 [01:11:00] and volunteering in other areas is probably going to go farther/be more achievable than just filling slots on the board, which represent the shorthandedness that plagues the entire structure [01:46:59] Board requirements refers to, "month/year of birth publicly accessible". In what context is this information made available, and why? [01:50:25] inflation: Companies House (the UK national company registrar) lists the birth month/year of every appointed director on their website so that's why it has to be made publicly available [01:50:34] Makes sense [01:52:05] Is there any way we can see the list/regex of slurs that is enabled on ballmedia wikis? I keep having batch edits blocked over it [01:53:07] seems to just be the standard Wikipedia list [01:53:12] I can send a list via DM if you want [01:53:23] Sure, send it [01:54:00] done [02:05:02] Hey just wanted to thank y'all for the spam account interventions you've implemented, it ground our spurious sign ups to a halt! 🙏 [02:05:32] Very happy to hear that! We've been working a lot to block all abusive IP ranges so I hope it helped [02:05:48] If you do see any suspicious account seep in, please do ping us so we can investigate and nuke their IP [02:06:25] We've also had good IP edits and accounts created so it seems like a good balance. Will let you know if any further suspicious accounts are created [02:09:01] Okay so I've embedded an image onto the page [02:09:15] How can I make it so when one clicks on the image they get taken to an article? [02:12:19] Found it nvm [02:18:24] I wouldn’t say block all ips on SORBS though [02:18:38] My home ip has been there since 2005 :p [02:26:52] Does anyone know why when I add a link to the image syntax the image balloons/enlarges in size on the page? [02:27:46] Also the image frame stops working [03:52:47] Companies House gives away way too much personal information for my liking. [04:04:36] The best way to get a question answered about syntax is to provide/paste the wikitext of the syntax you're using, often people can spot issues directly from that; otherwise there could follow lots of irrelevant guessing. [04:05:27] Aside from that, this page should help: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images [04:21:14] There's examples there that might help clarify what could be going on^ [04:22:44] Aside from a syntax error, or missing context, I can't think of what would cause that. [04:40:46] a shame that irc does not have typing indicators or some way to see who's online on discord [04:40:51] also how do you request a cloak [04:40:55] my protonvpn ip is very secret ok [04:42:32] join #libera-cloak and say !cloak, I think [04:43:02] thanks [04:43:30] it worked [04:43:34] how do you upload files on irc [04:44:37] test [04:44:48] cloak works [04:44:53] if someone replied to my question i didn't see it [04:46:00] you upload files to a different service and then link that in the chat [04:46:07] ok [04:46:08] got it [04:48:59] Welcome back, Collei [04:49:12] hello :wave: [04:49:24] not going to be very active on IRC but i'll use IRC when i need to discuss with miraheze [06:30:50] [1/3] is there any policy regarding templates on dev wiki? [06:30:50] [2/3] someone dived my WIP infobox into /doc page, and Documentation template here is a WP copy w/ Lua [06:30:51] [3/3] I want to make simpler documentation template [06:31:10] * as well [06:32:02] and another question - can other wikis use templates from dev w/o export/import? [07:42:50] I think it's possible, it's called Scary Transcluding [07:43:11] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableScaryTranscluding [07:54:33] it should be enabled on wiki that will use the template from another? [07:55:54] wait, it's not an extension l9p [09:42:15] If I remove the link part it fixes it [09:42:27] But add it back and instantly the frame breaks and it just grows in size [09:49:21] link in images doesn't need brackets [09:49:37] it would be just `link=Sardior` [09:50:07] also I don't expect div to work nicely in file construction [09:50:50] you can modify formatting of default caption class via CSS tho [09:52:04] and size can be defined too, like `...|300px|...` [10:05:09] I just put this and the size didn't change [10:11:32] remove frame and upright [10:11:45] I honestly never seen them used [10:11:51] thumb at max [10:12:45] Cheers [10:13:08] works now? [10:39:25] Good morning [10:39:35] USA [10:46:56] morning to you [11:14:10] Scary Transclusion is very expensive, I think there's a warning with that thing in ManageWiki extension [11:19:32] I see [11:20:15] better export/import then [12:54:20] logged out again 😔 [13:15:27] Yeee ❤️ [13:36:05] Hi,Could you delete my userpage on meta? [13:38:33] cc @Meta-Wiki Administrators [13:39:18] [[User:Buehl106]] [13:39:18] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Buehl106 [13:39:19]

[13:40:05] Done [14:26:20] <Призрачный Вор Скотт#2957> [1/2] Hi everybody. I have a question. [14:26:20] <Призрачный Вор Скотт#2957> [2/2] Here I have a wikiproject. Can I download it so that I can use it on a PC later? MW is set, let's say. [14:47:46] Special:DataDump is your friend if I understand your intention [16:40:36] @dinesh9999 , please use the `/auth` command to verify your wiki user before sharing links in chat. [17:28:20] any of y'all know if there's a way to get section headers to show up on file usage? scuffed mockup attached [18:09:42] you could theoretically accomplish that with JS, not possible with any existing extensions to my knowledge though [18:30:15] ty. can you point me toward any relevant documentation on this? [18:30:45] are you familiar with JS already or no [18:31:59] it's rusty but non-zero [20:24:05] [1/2] why can the search api use the pagedescription but popups cant x_X [20:24:05] [2/2] textextracts hates me and ive been fighting this war for so long (yes ive surrounded my infoboxes with divs yes ive used the noexcerpt class ive tried it all) [21:16:29] well, 2 out of the three GC requests seem pretty likely to pass, and one hasn't gotten very many votes [22:02:48] Drawfeet Wiki is still closed? [22:03:14] what error do you get? [22:03:25] I thought it got shut down [22:03:26] It was closed permanently, ys [22:03:30] 😦 [22:03:38] That's very sad [22:03:41] well same thing [22:03:51] It was deleted for copyright violations [22:08:25] i wish i could edit my extension files [22:11:55] what do you mean [22:13:46] i want to make edits to the js file that processes the popups api and i found where and how to change the code but idk how to override it so i just wish i could edit the file directly [22:14:23] popups? [22:14:30] pagepreviews? [22:14:58] when you hover on links and the little popup tells you about it? [22:15:27] just need to find out the override, it can be tricky but it's almost always plausible [22:15:42] oooh! [22:15:55] for various reasons mainly security and practicality, direct edits are not plausible given that the extension code is shared across the platform [22:16:01] yeah makes sense [22:16:09] i can't figure out the override [22:17:03] i found this and its like 'can be easily added' without explaining how to add them at all [22:17:12] this is on the extension:popups page [22:18:24] i decided to dive into ext.popups.renderer.article.js there and i know what i would change but no clue how to override it the file starts with ( [22:36:36] https://tenor.com/view/1984-gif-19260546 [22:36:52] literally 1984 [23:15:16] better a little 1984 then drop the bar to 984 [23:39:14] Are there community meetings where I can learn more about the project? [23:39:46] about Miraheze? [23:40:56] Yes [23:41:14] #miraheze-meetings [23:41:26] Thank you [23:41:33] we don't have meetings all that often [23:41:37] but occasionally we do [23:42:02] if you have any questions about Miraheze though, you're more than welcome to ask here!
