[11:55:36] Can you use an image of Wiki Commons in Wiki of miraheze? [12:06:38] [1/3] you mean from Wikimedia Commons? [12:06:39] [2/3] yes [12:06:39] [3/3] there's a setting for that, I believe it's enabled by default, so using name of the file existing on Wikimedia automatically gets that file [13:27:22] why doesn't this seem to work? [13:38:50] I guess Vector 2022 has unique class for bg [13:47:20] Inspector shows me this, I'm not sure what to make of it, do you have any ideas? [13:50:53] I have custom Vector-2022.css but I haven't made notes of what each piece of code changes lol [13:51:27] but - I think Vector 2022 utilities some parts of Vector.css [13:53:49] the last time i did anything related to webdev was 5 years ago...I'll probably need to spend a day making head or tail of this [13:53:58] welp, better start now [13:54:33] Are your wiki public? If so a link would be a 1000 times better than a few lines of the HTML in a Screenshot [13:56:02] no, it's a private project, and really there's nothing more than this - the wiki skin is set to Vector 2022 and the 3 lines you see is all I ever added to Common.css so far [13:57:12] well I never worked with vector myself, and what matters for sure though if how the skin applies CSS already as well, the HTML alone wont really tell anything about why it wont work [14:04:36] That said, if that is the code added to the MediaWiki:Vector2022.css or MediaWiki:Common.css it might just also be a case of it haven't been applied yet, can take some time due to caching etc. But yeah with nothing but 6 lines of HTML, all I can do is fire blind shots. [14:18:02] I have tried applying the same code to Vector.css now and it worked, I suppose these changes need to be skin specific [14:20:23] see [14:21:40] I started modifying Vector-2022 after the bug w/ logged in users, wiki changed to Vector 2022 but clearly used parts of Vector.css, I modified a year before that [15:37:57] hey who is stormknocked? [15:45:58] https://ballsdex.miraheze.org/wiki/User:StormKnocked [15:51:38] that name does not appear to be on this server nor do I see that it has been authenticated to any user here [16:23:11] yeah just that they are an admin on ballsdex.miraheze and they protected a page that needs to be updated [16:23:28] protected for admins only [16:24:58] unless they've volunteered contact information on their userpage/global page/meta page maybe?, on-wiki is probably your best or only bet [16:25:20] if the wiki has an attached chat like a discord server that could be a venue as well [16:25:35] what does these mean? [16:25:43] in #interwiki-requests [16:26:10] should maybe be a pinned post explaining those [16:26:26] and the others too for people who dont understand those [16:26:36] what wiki link? [16:26:57] like where would the contacts be? [16:28:06] if the information is volunteered then it would/should be on their userpage either local or global [16:28:41] perhaps the wiki has its own dedicated area for these contacts but that's case by case and I'm not familiar with ballsdex, it seems small and there didn't seem to even be a userpage so I doubt it [16:28:52] @raidarr can I DM you about mod issue? [16:28:54] but talk page is your best and probably only bet as long as they've edited anytime recently on wiki [16:28:59] ye [16:31:43] last time was end of 2022 [16:32:05] i found an account with similar last activity date [16:32:10] and same name [16:35:54] from a cursory check I see he may be unreachable or at best very slow to respond [16:37:33] I'd simply try to get what you can from talk page and if he is not findable elsewhere/does not respond, consider getting a global sysop/steward to have a look at things in lieu of absent management [16:38:27] it's also a case where a [[local election]] may be advisable for someone who's been responsible for developing the wiki in his absence, since he's hardly done anything with the place anyway (very small contribution history) [16:38:27] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/local_election [16:38:27]

[16:38:44] I'm tempted to just make a redirect for that [16:38:47] [[local elections]] [16:38:47] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/local_elections [16:38:51]

[16:43:58] ok you do it then [16:44:43] might be because it is a mainspace page that has a link in it [16:45:00] they do not like that [16:46:42] may not be autoconfirmed or something in that vein [16:46:51] if autoconfirmed might be an autopatrolled thing [16:47:00] The redirect has been added. [16:47:01] the error is explicitly just making the page in general [16:56:43] oh ok [16:56:56] how does someone get autoconfirmed [16:57:08] what is there to write about on meta.miraheze? [16:59:28] autoconfirmed = 10 edits and 4 days registered, but it could well be autopatrolled - I don't pay as much attention as I should to those details/the filters on meta [17:00:41] in any case I forgot that was a thing but I see why, obviously you don't want just anyone making pages willy nilly on arguably the most important structural wiki [17:00:56] on meta.miraheze [17:04:13] anyone can help me understand this stuff - https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1108436938131783740/1108436938131783740 ? [17:52:29] #Sidebar Help ? [19:37:49] [1/2] @Agent here's what i have so far of the chart showing open wikis over time. it first of all doesnt have all wikis because I can only access 5000 records in the api. but also, it doesnt seem to return all the closed wikis. as you can see here: https://meta.miraheze.org/w/api.php?action=wikidiscover&wdsiteprop=closure&format=json&wdstate=closed it only returns wikis closed in 202 [19:37:50] [2/2] 3 [19:40:13] @florigon you need to paginate [19:40:19] The api has more than 1 page [19:40:36] Or at least should [19:40:50] does the wikidiscover api have that ability? i remember trying to do the method that the regular api uses and it not working [19:41:10] If it doesn't, that's a bug [19:41:54] yeah i made a task requesting paginationhttps://phabricator.miraheze.org/T10665 [19:42:06] @florigon in the mean time, if you just need date and request number, an SRE might be able to provide that [19:42:25] what's "request number"? [19:42:29] Would probably be dumped sql though [19:43:06] Oh it's wikidiscover [19:43:15] Yes, wiki discover won't show dropped wikis [19:43:29] Sorry I just realised you are looking at wikis [19:43:42] We don't record that via widiscover [19:43:51] You'd need to go through the logging api [19:43:57] Which might have that [19:44:10] i think agent added closed date: https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T10666 [19:44:20] which is what i was using, but it only has records for 2023 [19:44:46] but whats the logging api? [19:51:39] Wikidiscover won't include anything dropped from the database [19:51:49] Logging api is the api version of Special:Log [19:52:03] We drop wikis every so often [19:52:10] That's the very final stage of deletion [19:53:06] Adding the ability to get more than 5000 results is something devs have to add, it's not a native API feature [19:53:16] I've looked into it but it's above my pay grade [19:53:23] an expert like @CosmicAlpha can probably tackle [19:53:40] oooh i see [19:53:47] do you know the link to the logging api? [19:54:34] I think it requires sql fidliness [19:54:57] Maybe Amir can make it easy in the million changes to DB query writing [19:55:04] Because abstract mediawiki [19:55:12] Nope [19:55:23] I'm on a train so internet too dodgy to browse too [19:55:49] ok ill look around. should it be a part of api.php? [19:56:02] yep [19:57:48] Yes, all APIs are [19:57:52] Well not exactly true [19:57:59] But you don't need to care about rest.php [19:58:29] That's a whole other kettle of fish interesting to people who want to display content or use a parser or be OAuth apps [19:58:39] For now [19:59:13] Ok great thanks [20:04:16] am I correct in my assumption that images uploaded onto a private wiki and then displayed on a still public Main Page won't load for users without authorisation? [20:04:41] That's correct since Swift [20:04:59] ok, just wanted to make sure [20:05:05] thanks [21:37:34] Is it just me or have things been really slow lately...? [21:39:04] Yeah, something is wrong with cloud12 [21:39:15] Everything on it is hitting load maximums [22:48:02] Hey that theme stuff it isn't working [22:48:06] nothing's changing
