[01:48:27] Okay so thing is [01:49:04] turns out the infobox watchmacallit is basically needed some template shit? Idk how that even works but I want to use this different kind of infobox stuff instead of the shitty classical kind presented in miraheze infobox stuff [01:49:30] Is there anyone here who can help me with this thing? Specifically a coding expert? [02:02:22] An infobox can use another template so you need to get all the templates used by that box [02:04:36] At the bottom of a page that use infobox, you can see what templates the page uses [02:38:52] hi [02:38:57] hi [02:39:02] how does this templat thing work? [02:39:18] yeah me and stealthman are working on our wiki and we dont know how to rlly use the infobox [02:39:37] we want it to float on the right w/ text on the left but idk where and how to utitlize the css tools [03:31:25] And then what? Make Template: ETC pages for each? [04:25:13] No idea what infobox template did you use [04:27:51] [1/2] Supposed there's a template named X within an infobox template [04:27:51] [2/2] Unless X require additional input, you don't need to make X2, X3, etc templates [04:28:33] Templates are supposed to be reusable, not 1 time use. [04:28:56] https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates [04:42:04] This box on the right side (might depend on skin used and/or custom CSS) [04:43:39] [1/2] Unless you have lots of knowledge of operating Wikipedia's infobox, you might look at Portable Infoboxes instead. [04:43:39] [2/2] PI should be noob friendly. [04:45:20] https://portability.fandom.com/wiki/Portable_Infoboxes [05:32:22] I need a place to vent [05:48:22] please reach out to your friends or online mutuals at least, venting in random places w/ strangers isn't healthy [08:14:23] Have a Twitter if you want to follow me https://twitter.com/LNMSMiraheze [08:20:53] @Loves Next & Misses Sandra no one does. Please at least move spam to #offtopic and ideally cease. [09:49:03] It’s been moved to off topic [12:47:00] storage backends... [12:47:36] What about them @DualPlay Mapper [12:48:05] when i try to upload a new file it just gives me this error [12:48:31] @DualPlay Mapper it must say more than storage backends [12:48:38] Can you screenshot or paste the full thing [12:50:10] @Site Reliability Engineers [12:50:21] Issues with swift proxy I think [12:50:45] try reuploading. One of the storage node has run out of storage. [12:51:09] also some images are missing [12:51:23] some images? which ones? [12:52:36] I think it has been fixed for now [13:37:45] not sure if its just me but visual edtior is running very slow for me [13:40:20] What do you mean by very slow? [13:40:29] To edit / to preview / to open [13:43:44] its running very slow for me when i try to save an edit [13:44:07] Swift storage was very slow lately [13:44:08] oh now i know why its slow i have my internet tied up [13:44:32] I even got Swift errors while uploading images [13:45:02] paladox: ^ [13:45:29] no matter what mediawiki will always have bugs [13:47:41] The Swift issues are nothing to do with mediawiki [13:47:52] no matter what mediawiki will always have bugs [13:50:40] what's going on w/ you Coco [13:51:00] PLEASE BE AWARE THAT DISCORD IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PERFORMANCE ISSUES. SOME MESSAGES MAY LAG OR SHOW TWICE. [13:51:15] @Legroom wider issue [13:52:07] ah [13:52:52] ah [14:05:21] jst got slow internet atm [14:05:21] and miraheze lagging [14:05:55] And a Discord glitch on top of that [14:06:10] yep i got miraheze lagging on me plus discord lag [14:10:15] jst got slow internet atm [14:53:41] [1/2] To avoid creating high replication lag, this transaction was aborted because the write duration (6.3336365222931) exceeded the 6 second limit. If you are changing many items at once, try doing multiple smaller operations instead. [14:53:41] [2/2] [06b7fd8085afdac1bfcea88b]: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBTransactionSizeError" [14:53:59] What doing? [14:54:16] That message is an utterly inaccurate explanation [14:54:22] editing a wiki page [14:54:26] That's not why we have the write duration limit [14:54:41] @max20091 is the page particularly large? [14:54:46] no [14:54:48] Which wiki? [14:54:54] Does it happen twice? [14:54:59] @max20091 [14:55:35] https://houkai2nd.miraheze.org/ [14:56:24] only saw that once + a bunch of uploads and delete issues [14:57:48] does doing multiple things simultaneously freeze the server or some sort? [14:57:55] 🤔 [15:00:04] It shouldn't [15:00:22] The database definately wasn't happy at the time [15:01:15] Zooming out on the graphs and looking at other DBs it doesn't look particularly worrying though [15:01:50] @paladox can you see if the slow logs have anything in particular on [15:02:01] Or if everything is sometimes going slower [15:03:22] we don't have the slow logs switched on. [15:04:00] paladox: why [15:04:38] But based on what was said discord, something is off with the DB performance [15:08:50] [1/2] [backend-fail-internal]An unknown error occurred in storage backend "miraheze-swift". [15:08:50] [2/2] I'm sorry but my tool doesn't output the error code of MW [15:15:27] because we don't want log spam. https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/blob/be054bc7bf340b343f28158514de2dd289088405/Database.php#L73 (was set to 6 i just upped it to 10). The default is false. [16:14:09] I think my wiki's logo ran away: https://decyclopedia.tk/wiki/Main_Page [16:20:31] @Felix. Request should now be resolved, please look out for an email with login instructions. [17:11:32] paladox: that's not a solution [17:12:50] paladox: all that will do is speed up an outage if a query is bad. We need to know why the query took so long. [17:13:25] The exception might have more info but if it's a typical edit, that is a sign of something seriously wrong [17:13:39] Edits should be milliseconds not 6 seconds [17:14:30] Thanks but it keeps saying when I'm copy & pasting both in [17:17:48] Hmm, I would check if you're accidentally copying any spaces, and try doing a password reset if it's still not working... [17:32:22] [1/2] > File not found: /v1/AUTH_mw/miraheze-sagan4alphawiki-local-public/7/73/Binucleus_Stella_Dodecahedron.png [17:32:22] [2/2] <:thonk:487424606131453956> [17:35:53] doesn't fix itself on refresh [17:42:16] link to where I saw this: https://static.miraheze.org/sagan4alphawiki/7/73/Binucleus_Stella_Dodecahedron.png [17:42:40] this file should definitely exist [17:45:44] sorry guys,I have a question:Why can't I open my wiki? [18:13:44] there seem to be a problem with data base, look at earlier message [18:29:11] Swift and DB are separate components [19:09:57] Rhinos, you there? [19:10:14] very odd thing in naggieka's thread [19:10:24] or any other sys admin, really [19:10:55] could give an opinion [19:11:05] Hmmm, files start to fail to load [19:11:19] could be linked to overall low performance right now [19:13:24] my wiki is slow but no other glitches [19:14:00] 15 minutes ago I had a few files refuse to show up but now seems like it spreads [19:14:19] They show up on file pages normally though [19:14:33] Probably low performance side effect [19:15:22] Yes @paladox mentioned Swift issues [19:35:28] I don't follow what you mean here but um, I tried using something like this: https://worldsbeyondnumber.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_character [19:36:06] I thought all i had to do was copy then paste into my desired character page. [19:38:15] do you have an example character page where you've attempted to use this template? [19:42:49] Ah, right. This is a private wiki so direct links won't be possible [20:19:25] Before I make a support thread for it, is it even possible to modify the CSS of TwitterEmbed? I can find classes for it and modify them with F12 but it seems that the CSS is imported from elsewhere and loads after the Wiki's, so they don't apply. Can I somehow load CSS after a certain time? [20:32:01] You cannot, no. iframes cannot be styled as they get their CSS from the website they're loaded from so you can never target them. [21:05:15] So that's why? [21:05:28] also hold on [21:07:05] I mean i guessb ecause it's a private wiki that's why the css coding stuff doesn't work? Also wait, so because it's private also no one can see it? [21:07:41] no, he meant if wiki is private nobody here can check the code on your wiki, your templates, etc [21:07:51] it has limited access [21:09:03] didn't you made a template on your wiki already tho? [21:33:13] No, I did try, but I got nothing. [21:33:44] It just ended up being crap and i'm not very understanding of thsi sort of CSS/coding compared to fandom stuff. So how do i make my wiki public then? [21:40:19] also by going to crap it still did that thing with it being colored red and saying Template:Character or Character Infobox and what not. [22:31:35] [1/2] Hey, folks. Quick question: is there a way to embed Google Docs or Google Sheets documents into wiki pages as an iframe? [22:31:35] [2/2] I see that there are some extensions in Miraheze wiki settings for embedding things like Google Maps and certain media such as Youtube videos, but I can't figure out how to get iframe embeds from Drive to work even though the documents themselves have been published to web.
