[07:16:43] guess my username change request stuck really bad [10:16:12] hey I closed my wiki like this morning and I thought it would take 6 months to be deleted but it already is? [10:16:30] is this standard procedure for closed wikis? [10:43:07] What was your wiki? [11:12:16] twistedwonderland [11:12:38] I closed it since it would be in read only for a while, I didn’t think it would die so fast [11:24:59] [1/2] you mean, closed in core settings? [11:24:59] [2/2] or you left a deletion request? [11:26:18] the dormancy policy applies if wiki had no edits in 45 days, then it gets to "closed" status, admin can remove that flag, but otherwise it get eligible for deletion [11:45:30] so I have a little question about the ownership handover; I'm pretty sure I read that Owen's the one with physical server access, right? But since he plans on stepping down, how is the server data going to be transferred? [11:48:48] I asked a very similar question to that yesterday here, so answers likely gonna be the same https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1123382925157728396 [11:49:05] Ohhh okay, thank you! [11:49:37] that makes sense [11:50:20] i've heard that cloud storage is expensive, though it's also convenient bc they don't have to worry that just one guy has access to them [11:50:52] so i guess they'll just have to decide whether they value convenience or funds going towards other site stuff more [11:54:12] yeah I went to core settings and closed it. Afaik no one sent a deletion request [11:55:57] Apparently agent isai marked it as deleted thinking that you’ve migrated off of miraheze. It shouldn’t be actually deleted yet, and if you need it reopened you can leave a request on steward’s noticeboadx [11:56:14] literally what the fuck lmao [11:56:23] wha [11:57:10] also, if you want the wiki to be in read only but not deleted you should request dormancy policy exemption [11:57:28] atm it looks like this [11:57:34] https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=927940 [11:57:41] yeah, this looks like deleted ... [11:58:05] It’s marked as deleted in managewiki but afaik that doesn’t actually delete anything [11:58:14] tbh the plan was really just to let it stay in read only so that users can transition to the new site we migrated to over time because we only made this announcement a few days ago [11:58:23] and I figured the closed status does that nicely [11:58:33] ah, so you're migrating [11:58:36] because ultimately we don’t want the old wiki to be hogging Seo too [11:58:39] yeah [11:58:45] migrated to be precise but yeah [11:59:54] Agent: could you undelete this wiki? Requested via discord, apparently they are migrating but want to leave the current wiki in read only until new one is set up. https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=927940 [12:02:46] it’s alright we already migrated and just wanted a grace period for users to get the message that we have moved [12:05:12] there’s really no point in bringing it back, when the deed (and ultimate goal)is already done [13:36:43] What time does it take for counters to update after an import? [15:25:33] Do we need real name field in preferences? I don't think it is visible anywhere, and Wikimedia web sites do not have it. [15:26:03] + Zippybonzo [15:26:08] opss my bad [15:52:27] [1/2] So I've been trying to use the PortableInfobox stuff and... it just looks awful. I hate the way it looks when compared to the clean, crisp style that Wikipedia (and a lot of other wikis) use. That's kind of the look I want, but I'm not even sure how to go about getting that style of infobox for my wiki. Yes, yes, I know "Wikipedia isn't the gold standard", but it is for me in this [15:52:27] [2/2] case. Any suggestions? [15:53:30] CSS [15:54:47] I believe Agent has some code for that [15:55:16] exacly for turning PI into WP [16:03:33] Hmm, okay [16:13:17] Where could I find said code? [20:22:05] Could you explain to me how to if you don’t mind? I tried doing so with XML files but I couldn’t figure out how to?

[20:23:29] I was under the impresssion that was all I needed to do, but I will change it if needed [20:29:20] Yes I’m currently taking down files that were uploaded without the attribution thing [20:29:43] Someone uploading every single icon from both wikis to my site [20:30:00] And the Special:Nuke thing only seems to half work [20:32:03] Very classy behavior to try and have me taken off Hostinger btw t [20:38:38] actually [20:38:46] Yep [20:38:47] It seems like every file like that has been taken down [20:38:56] Or attribution given [20:39:07] I am glad the people housing genocide deniers are gone [20:39:08] Granted there aren't a lot of files [20:39:22] What genocide did I deny? [20:39:31] Your users did [20:39:35] He users we banned [20:39:37] Aight [20:41:28] Welp the deplatforming is better than suing ig [20:42:11] Suing was never an option honestly [20:42:22] Well glad to hear that [20:42:47] I did think it was a bluff kinda cause idk how a minor would sue a foreigner [20:42:52] Glad I and inky were correct with being able to trace it to hostinger [20:43:19] Welp, at least the domain will stay up [21:39:53] Is it possible to enable Extension:ContentTranslation? I was looking into it since I dislike Extension:Translate, but I’m not sure [21:40:39] Is it possible to enable [[mw:Extension:ContentTranslation]]?I was looking into it since I dislike [[mw:Extension:Translate]], but I’m not sure [21:40:39] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContentTranslation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate [21:40:40]

[1/2] [21:40:40]

[2/2] [21:46:36] I think a lot of people are disappointed w/ how Translate works, but ContentTranslation seems to be about machine work [21:47:35] I mean, the translation tags give me headache when I try to edit og English pages on Meta [21:53:04] it’s really messy and convoluted yk [21:53:09] too overwhelming to use [21:53:22] but I still want a dynamic way to translate pages yk [22:22:02] Requested to change my username on my old account can you please check it out @orduin [22:22:49] I don’t want any fandom account to have the same username as my Miraheze accounts [22:24:25] Just curious, is wiki creation requesting open again? [22:24:52] mhm, I believe so ^^ [22:26:24] apparently it can be requested (see [[phab:T728]]), in which case I would like to do the same (submitted [[phab:T11027]].) [22:26:24] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/phab:T728 https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/phab:T11027 [22:26:24]

[2/2] [22:27:40] as a side note- seeing the number of tasks submitted be over 10,000 really makes me grateful for the team behind it lol, even if the things can be menial / simple etc.
