[01:42:21] is there any way to generate common templates? like stub and other universal ones as bases [03:07:50] Is there a way to see how many wikis currently have experimental status? [03:08:56]

How do I make these Navigation Categories into Miraheze? [03:13:56] Those look a little like tables with colored headers... is it a public wiki you can provide a link to? [03:14:20] If I'm being honest, those are a little hard on my eyes (too bright). [03:20:55] [1/4] Hey i just wanted to double check a policy/rule related thing, i think we're following it correctly, but I figure it's best to be safe. [03:20:55] [2/4] So the NSFW content policy states that NSFW wikis should have a dismissible banner to alert readers of 18+ content. [03:20:56] [3/4] Does that rule have to be followed exactly? [03:20:56] [4/4] Because our wiki has a warning right at the top of the page, but it's not dismissible. [03:24:20] I'm just a user, but perhaps you might be using `MediaWiki:Sitenotice` rather than the DismissableSiteNotice extension? [03:25:58] [1/2] This link might help, at least with what looks like collapsible tables (can't tell without a link provided): [03:25:58] [2/2] - Collapsible elements. [03:26:53] Plus [03:27:09] That's sufficient [03:28:10] cool! thank you for answering! [03:29:24] It's nice you're leaving it up all the time. [03:29:45] I misread that part x D [03:34:24] Oh, bummer, they have to be public [[Tech:Experimental_Wikis]]. Makes sense though I guess. [03:34:24] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Tech:Experimental_Wikis [03:34:25]

[06:50:23] Is there a way to make a channel in discord that can "search" for things in your wiki? [06:52:24] Use Wiki-Bot in a channel. [06:53:54] Thank you [06:54:46] No problem! [06:55:39] Sorry I'm brand new fr haha. Just trying to learn the ropes [06:57:41] How do I go about finding bots? [06:58:15] https://discord.bots.gg/bots/461189216198590464 [06:58:43] OHHH It's the one I already have lmfao. NVM! thank you [06:58:59] No problem lol [07:09:44] So, I'm used to Fandom Wikia (I know, I know) but how do you do templates and infoboxes in Miraheze? [07:17:31] [1/2] same way is in FANDOM, both platforms operate on MediaWiki [07:17:31] [2/2] you just need to make some extra steps on Miraheze, for example enabling PortableInfobox extension [07:17:59] OH! thank you so much haha. [07:20:17] you can just import things from FANDOM to Miraheze too, instead of redoing/copy pasting [07:20:36] Oh wait for real! [07:20:42] That's gonna save me DAYS [07:20:55] people migrate entire wikis from FANDOM here [07:21:25] the thing w/ imports tho they has to have all page histories, for licensing reasons [07:21:39] Imports? [07:21:43] Where would I find htis [07:22:29] are you planning a big migration or just to import couple of templates? [07:23:01] Mostly the templates honestly, I think I need to rewrite alot. I've had this server for about 4 years now [07:26:26] [1/3] on FANDOM wiki go to `Special:Export` page and type names of pages you want to export, it'll give you XML files of those pages [07:26:27] [2/3] then on Miraheze wiki (you should first request it to be created btw) go to `Special:Import` [07:26:27] [3/3] however if files are too heavy, over couple of KB, wiki will fail in the process and you'll have to request Miraheze sysadmins to do it for you [07:32:13] I got it created 😄 I requested it in the morning [07:40:01] I'm trying to work my way back when I didn't understand, so I have it downloaded as a XML, and I imported it, it's all blank though [07:42:49] Also, What are name sakes? [07:53:52] namespace is basically types of pages [07:54:06] for template page there's `Template:` prefix [07:54:22] on export page you should have it as `Template:...` [07:55:04] main namespace pages aka articles don't have prefixes and count as content pages of wiki (by default) [07:56:22] But do I not need the infobox template? [07:56:26] or is that built in? [08:00:35] Miraheze wiki is blank, you need to create or import templates yes [08:01:14] what I mean is that you should type namespace prefix too [08:01:29] in things like export/import [08:02:09] [1/2] your infobox is "Character", for example [08:02:09] [2/2] gonna me `Template:Character` [08:02:23] Yeah, that makes sense [08:08:56] [1/4] So the steps are. [08:08:56] [2/4] 1. Go to the page with the template. Copy paste Url, and place in Special:Export and download as XML. [08:08:57] [3/4] 2. Place the XML in the Special:Import and give it a namespace. [08:08:57] [4/4] 3. Then go to Template:(Name) and continue from there? [08:10:15] Is that correct? [08:10:25] How do I put that into the actual page then? [08:13:42] import should create the pahe [08:14:06] Mm... then I guess I am doing wrong [08:17:50] I have so many questions haha [08:31:50] Better question, when exporting, do I export the just the name, the url or the link? [08:32:57] [1/4] Like, is it (just as an example, I'm gonna Emily) [08:32:57] [2/4] Emily [08:32:57] [3/4] h.ttps://ffos-database.fandom.com/wiki/Emily [08:32:58] [4/4] /Emily [08:35:00] This is already somewhat the case as I described in my request, but if the universe would stand out even more through new media, such as series or new characters, then it would be good? [08:39:18] Thanks. [10:24:28] [1/3] I'm at work man, hope you understand [10:24:28] [2/3] Miraheze is volunteer based platform, people here are helping whenever they can and another user might have more competence over specific questions than me [10:24:28] [3/3] and, I'll be honest - I haven't performed export/import for over a year and always forgot details [10:26:18] a proper Miraheze based guide woul be handy ngl, MediaWiki ones are disappointing [10:30:53] all good! I am sorry to message you out the of blue. I appreciate the help! [10:43:05] I believe you only have to write out names of the pages on the Export page (each in a new line). It was also quite a while since I did exports, so you should try with 1-2 pages first to double-check <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [10:43:35] Names including namespaces of course (so for example Template:Stub would have to remain Template:Stub, not Stub) [10:47:30] ELI5 Namespaces, I'm not quite understanding the concept [11:11:25] Hello! can someone help me get unblocked on Miraheze? My IP has been globally blocked, and I sent in a couple of mails to try and have it rectified, but to no avail. [11:21:47] @Stewards [11:33:27] Feel free to DM [11:42:16] @HalfBloodPrince [12:06:55] Think of them like folders. So a page without a namespace (like `.../wiki/Apple`) is not in a folder, a template (`.../wiki/Template:Apple`) is in the "Template" folder (so the Template namespace) and so on. Some folders can have special properties that affect pages and that you can change in wiki settings. [12:08:57] Essentially a page belongs to a template that's named whatever you write before a : in the page name, but only of such a namespace exists. Otherwise it's in the main namespace (no folder) [12:09:10] You can add or remove existing namespaces in the wiki settings too [12:10:02] More info here https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces [12:25:06] It keeps happening. This time it hit Mason. [12:31:50] For the purposes of import/export you really don't need to understand the concept of namespaces. Just make sure you grab the entire name after the `/wiki/` part of the url of the page you want to export. [13:02:21] So, it's just after /Wiki/? [13:02:23] @Gummiel [13:07:07] Yes everything after the /wiki/ is the full title of a page, and what you put in the export text box (and if you want to export multiple pages then each title on a new line [13:35:34] I see. So it's not the ENTIRE URL? [13:35:37] It's just the name [13:35:57] That's good to know [13:36:05] Hi, after successfully installing the extension:Wikiforum I still can't find the corresponding special page on my wiki. Does anyone know how I can find the page and create the forum accordingly? [13:36:23] WikiForum is currently disabled due to some severe security vulnerabilities [13:37:32] but users still can enable it? [13:38:00] Thank you, is there a usable alternative? [13:38:36] Yes, i could do that [13:51:23] Goodnight! [14:41:27] miraheze will one day come to an end [14:44:54] we never know, miraheze could come to an end at anytime..... [14:46:23] I mean, for all you know Miraheze could shut down the next second /s [14:48:41] proceeds to delete all of Miraheze's servers [15:01:27] true, and the thing is we put all this work into mirahze and we dont know what could happen [15:01:42] I think you missed the /s [15:01:57] that is the scary part, all of our work going to waste [15:05:50] I don't really see the pertinence of such "doomsday talk" out of the blue. [15:05:53] Miraheze is doing fine [15:05:59] if you're worried about the fundraiser, one of the sub-goals was reaching £3840, which we met [15:06:17] so there's at least another year of Miraheze [15:07:37] man wtf [15:12:49] Obvious /s apparently wasn't obvious [16:27:30] A friendly warning, repeated doomsaying without evidence that the service is about to collapse (when it's very clearly not and several folks have told you otherwise) is a great way to get banned from the discord. Let's make this the first and last time you 'joke' about it, I'd really prefer to not have to take that step. [17:12:17] understood i am just worried about losing all my work, if miraheze was to go down hill [17:12:50] Sure, but that's why a backup feature exists, which you can utilize. [19:40:09] does i18n need to be configured for global renamers? [19:40:26] MirahezeMagic has to be updated [19:40:33] ah got it [19:40:44] thought so was just checking [19:40:55] since the Rename extension will be removed [19:43:27] what's Rename extension? [19:43:29] The renameuser extension is just merged with core [19:43:45] No functionality changes BrandonWM [19:44:03] GlobalRename is separate though [19:44:13] And part of CentralAuth [19:50:04] @CosmicAlpha around? If so, -sre Swift issue maybe [19:56:34] Might be fine [19:58:21] ? [19:58:26] how do you do that [19:58:31] send messages like that [19:59:03] @MirahezeRelay is from IRC @jst [20:32:44] damm [20:33:20] 0.16% of users on miraheze donating according to #announcements is enough for miraheze to meet their goal [20:34:10] 0.5% would have to donate like 5 dollars to meet their goal [20:36:15] so like 2% or 3% would have to donate a single dollar [20:45:33] Yep, sure wish that more of those that use MH, and can donate even a small amount, would. [20:45:54] Every little bit helps. : ) [20:48:23] according to #announcements their goal is 8175 dollars [20:48:47] 16.35 dollars * 500 members [20:51:07] Our group has recurring donations set monthly [20:51:55] That's a super convenient option imo [20:52:02] Nothing to have to remember to do [20:53:47] what is their goal tho [20:54:06] is it 8k dollars per ? [20:54:22] month 6 months year [20:54:49] [[Donate]] Some of the options provide [20:54:49] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Donate [20:54:50]

[20:55:34] Actually, that page seems outdated. [20:55:41] There's also: https://ko-fi.com/miraheze [20:56:07] also what is our group? [20:57:04] My wiki's group [20:57:35] ok [21:09:34] I requested on the Donate talk page that they add the ko-fi option above that MH volunteers provided to me here (understandably that page is protected). [21:17:45] Attempting an update now [21:22:18] Done, though someone more fluent with the translation extension should check my work to make sure the changes play nice. [21:23:13] whos in charge of the search engine these days at miraheze? [21:28:13] Is there a Global Sysop available? [21:28:37] or Steward [21:28:56] You rang? [21:29:26] I need someone to locally block https://tttewiki.miraheze.org/wiki/User:MH1994 on that wiki [21:29:55] they're attempting a 100GB+ image import, which is very much not something we can do given the disk usage on swift servers [21:30:20] their import was previously declined in https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T10760 [21:30:23] i wouldnt necessaryly say that is a blockable offense [21:30:28] Why not set wgEnableUploads to false for the wiki? [21:30:36] already did, but is useless [21:31:15] I'm not seeing any PR for it [21:31:27] wgEnableUploads is managed through ManageWiki [21:31:29] Can it be disabled via ManageWiki? [21:31:31] Ah [21:31:58] im checking you're dm in a sec NotAracham [21:32:15] Cocopuff: Disk usage on the swift servers holding files is already very much at the limit, check out swiftobject122: https://grafana.miraheze.org/d/W9MIkA7iz/miraheze-cluster?orgId=1&var-job=node&var-node=swiftobject122.miraheze.org&var-port=9100 [21:32:28] 100gb+ is not something we have the technical capability to import [21:33:48] will have a look in a moment i have alot of tabs open [21:35:30] Very well, will block [21:38:41] i do need to speak to you later in dms when you have a chance agent (wiki related) incass you are curious [21:54:35] @Agent you there? [21:55:21] still waiting on that block, user stop uploading for a while but it's back [21:59:33] gonna send a dm, agent, for when you have time to answer [22:04:22] i would recommend Posting you're request on steward's noticeboard [22:04:42] yeah [22:32:48] Did images break again? Noticed that images on my wiki aren't loading anymore again, though there's nothing in #announcements [22:34:37] My wiki's images seem fine... [22:36:21] link if still broken? [22:37:32] Your gifs are working fine, could it be a template problem? [22:38:02] I think it might be (from looking at comment history) ? [22:38:51] Seems to be PNGs [22:40:35] Yeah, PNG files are giving "unauthorized" error for some reason. [22:40:49] When going direct to static link e.g., [22:41:38] It's thumnails only, full link works fine [22:42:14] Purging has no effect. [22:48:00] I'd make a phab task to look at that wiki's circumstance [22:48:13] We noticed a change in image behaviour recently, images used on our public mainpage (on our private wiki) used to be viewable by logged-out, non-members. Now they all don't appear including CSS and fonts. [22:48:46] We assumed we'd then have to have exceptions for every item, which is too much work. [22:48:52] So, we ended up blanking the page instead. [22:49:07] Totally different though. [22:49:09] Last time this crept in, IIRC it was either a container issue or an overloaded swift server. Either way, something for SRE team [22:49:18] what you describe is probably intended as images were changed in a way to make them private in nature along with a private wiki [22:50:08] @Cirom, can you please make a [[Phabricator]] task for your issue? [22:50:08] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Phabricator [22:50:08]

[22:51:03] Ah, okay, I wondered. Definitely too much work to have exceptions added for each. The CSS was a bit odd, I guess it'd have to be in-line styles then. [22:51:33]
