[01:24:18] I hope nobody minds me asking this here, I am super new to this all. I'd like to add a banner to a wiki I am helping with, however I am not sure how this all works and I am not experienced at all with this 🙂 [01:25:16] I enabled the "WikiDataPageBanner" extension, but I am not sure how to get it working [01:28:25] You can use MediaWiki:Sitenotice as an alternative [01:29:42] Thank you! I'll try that instead [07:14:36] how i can add templete to the site? [07:15:37] i have template wizard [07:15:52] [1/2] first you should create a template, either by coding or importing (taking) from another place [07:15:52] [2/2] only after that you can use on normal pages [07:17:25] [[mw:Help:Templates]] [07:17:25] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates [07:17:25]

[07:18:58] somewhere in #support I've made an easier explanation but I can't find it now [07:19:59] [1/3] main things in template coding are [07:19:59] [2/3] - `{{{|}}}` is how you define a parameter [07:19:59] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:%7b [07:19:59] [3/3] - use `` tags for additional stuff which aren't real part of template, like documentation and categories [07:21:20] [1/2] for more complex templates parser functions are used [07:21:21] [2/2] [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions]] [07:21:21] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions [07:21:21]

[07:22:47] if you want to make an infobox template I strongly suggest to use PortableInfobox extension [07:23:28] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1128308094561173646 [07:24:10] for navboxes - code tables by yourself or try to copy FANDOM's navbox builder module [07:45:27] This is because your template does not have TemplateData [07:47:50] TemplateData does look like this [07:48:52] Without TemplateData, you have to rely on Edit Source mode [10:15:14] Hi, is there any way to make a timeline, like so? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:EasyTimeline [10:32:52] [1/4] we don't know what instructions you've been following, what kind of infobox you had, etc [10:32:52] [2/4] the content of "Logo Test" page is actually the boilerplate (blank code to copy/paste) I talked about earlier [10:32:53] [3/4] "Infobox person" should have proper infobox code to function, did blanked it or reverted some edits? [10:32:53] [4/4] and, once again, - please make support threads, general chat is messy for stuff requiring deeper look/more time - why did you deleted it? (threads don't even disappear when you delete first message) [10:35:41] this extension is available on Miraheze [10:36:45] you should enable it in parser hooks tabs [10:37:14] [1/2] how to use [10:37:14] [2/2] [[mw:Extension:EasyTimeline]] [10:37:14] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EasyTimeline [10:37:14]

[11:52:28] So I have to download and install a bunch of stuff? [11:53:14] So I have to download and installa bunch of stuff? [11:53:33] no [11:54:02] on Miraheze number of extensions are already installed, you just have to turn them on in admin menu [11:54:13] like I said above, in parser hooks tab [11:54:38] in special admin sidebar there must be a link [11:54:47] Manage this wiki's extensions [11:55:08] then, like I said above, in parser hooks tab [11:55:12] this is the closest i could find to "parser hooks" [11:55:34] this settings [11:55:36] menu [11:55:44] I talk about extensions [11:56:25] okay found it [11:56:27] you can use search bar in there btw, type easytimeline and it will appear [11:59:25] I got one of the examples to work finally. Thank you! [12:18:14] np <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [16:22:05] Hello. My wiki is producing incorrect embeds on Discord. Any advice on how to rectify this issue? Thanks. [18:48:13] (for those that have been wondering, and yes I will update the page on wiki with this information) The new organization is incorporated in Illinois, things still have to be worked out, so its still quite a process before things that are visible to the general public will be able to fall into place (for example the actual transfer, ect) [18:48:56] yooo [18:49:20] Zppix, while you are here - users get errors when trying to make private wikis public [18:49:48] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1128751446742020226 [18:50:11] Not much I can do about that, looks like it will need SRE to investigate. [18:53:18] https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Miraheze_is_Not_Shutting_Down&oldid=341319 [19:09:39] SRE (me) is investigating (waiting for CI to finish on the patch) [19:16:47] Question were on earth is miraheze transferring to?? [19:22:09] According to the update from Zppix the new organization will be incorporated in Illinois, USA. [19:27:57] Is someone buying us out? Do we have a new team coming [19:28:36] What even is the name of this organization [19:30:48] [1/4] You've been here the whole time, I'm surprised you're asking these questions now. [19:30:48] [2/4] The basic details are here: [19:30:48] [3/4] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_is_Not_Shutting_Down [19:30:48] [4/4] An updated statement will likely be coming once Zppix/Labster/Void complete incorporation in the US of the new Miraheze organization [19:38:04] Miraheze Foundation [19:38:32] Number 74146392 in the State of Illinois [19:40:23] Will miraheze move to a new domain [19:40:28] No [19:40:31] / be renamed [19:40:47] No [19:41:09] How did you manage to get non profit in illionos [19:41:10] Good I am really glade to see mirahezr continue its services [19:41:14] (Also based state) [19:41:40] Right now we are only Not-For-Profit we still have alot to do to get the org fully setup [19:41:51] Ahhhhhh [19:41:56] Will they provide us funds to continue [19:42:08] So won’t get tax benefits (although that’s fine, it how we are rn) [19:42:20] We will be applying for 501c3 [19:42:51] I should ask if they will Provide miraheze some money [19:42:56] No [19:43:49] The organization exists to transfer assets to Miraheze Ltd to this one, when its ready and run it [19:44:11] I think there’s a minimum £1 buy of miraheze assets because the U.K. puts that at the minium ? (Not 100% sure tho) [19:44:36] So miraheze will pretty much remain as it is now??? [19:44:47] We havent got that far yet, the state just processed the incorporation yesterday [19:44:53] Yeh [19:45:23] Yes, miraheze will be under new management once the assets are brought [19:45:29] I havent even gotten the letter from the state that they processed it yet I just noticed by looking at the online database [19:45:40] Owen will deal with the wind down of miraheze limited after [19:45:49] Will paldox still remain as sre [19:45:53] Yea [19:46:25] Everything people wise will stay basically the same only difference is the board will consist of me, labster and void [19:46:49] man, good news fr [19:46:58] Will the new management have full acess to everything on miraheze and global stuff [19:47:06] We havent got that far [19:47:17] Legroom would make a good board member in the future [19:47:21] The new organization is less than 2 days old… [19:47:51] I think yeh within reason [19:48:03] We still have to adopt bylaws, and stuff, the only thing that has been done thus far is tell the government we exist [19:48:29] oh no lmao [19:48:42] I'm adraid of becoming moderator [19:48:52] There will be changes to the terms of use etc [19:49:18] So we gonna let them change stuff without community decisions being made? [19:49:20] Ah yes the Americanizing will be fun lol [19:49:34] The legal stuff, yeah there is no community choice there [19:49:48] Yeh community doesn’t get a say to break the law [19:49:51] I mean, you gotta do things by laws [19:49:57] Community can have an opinion and give it to the board [19:50:28] People are still accountable even tho they now have more protections then if it was under a single person [19:50:49] (I mean to the government/ courts) [19:50:51] Me, even more so, I’m the registered agent of the new corp [19:51:35] I got a really good question question [19:52:04] On the legal side what about the NDA's [19:52:26] NDAs will only be given to those who have a requirement to have them, we wont be giving them out just by asking anymore [19:52:38] Would new ndas be needed [19:52:54] Yes, the old ones will not be valid by US law [19:52:59] Ok [19:53:36] Me and void would have to I guess sign them before the take over is complete, right? [19:54:02] To ensure there’s no problem with our continuous use lol [19:54:06] Technically theres no legal requirement on timeframe its moreso whenever they are ready to given out to sign [19:54:12] Oh [19:54:54] I think most of the people in positions that require NDAs could be trusted enough even if theres a gap in coverage [19:55:30] So we gonna have a community election on the new board members (zppix,labster,void)? [19:55:46] I don’t know UK law well enough but I would assume the old NDAs would still be valid for previous information gained? I’m not sure [19:55:50] No [19:56:09] Articles of Incorporation already named us three as board members [19:56:36] not everything has or can be elected by community [19:56:46] Plus I’m required to be on board for the org to exist. [19:58:18] Hpw long will the board position stand for [19:58:41] Mine, indefinite, I’m the registered agent for the new org meaning I’m legally responsible for it [19:59:31] How do I list all users on my wiii? [19:59:51] Special:ListUsers [19:59:59] State of Illinois requires atleast one person to live within the state [20:00:25] Such as majority if not all states [20:00:51] How long will the other two board spots stand for [20:01:03] Don’t know, thats part of adopting bylaws… [20:01:23] You’re asking questions that theres no way to have answer for when its not even been a full 24 hours of the org existing [20:02:03] Just like any answer I give could be subject to change at any point [20:06:03] i am glad you guys stepped up and appreciate all the work you're doing to build the new, more resilient miraheze. [20:06:24] this whole circumstance has shown me there's not really anything else out there like miraheze [20:08:01] Except for WikiTide, but that's because it was made by a former board member [20:09:30] And may they both have a long and sustainable future [20:09:52] oi, Meta main page on old Vector is fixed [20:10:09] I kept forgeting to report it got messed up lol [20:30:18] This could have both a positive and negative impact just meaning what it stands for. On the positive side, it means there’s always someone to keep the org alive. On the flip side, it sends a message that no matter what you do you can’t be removed because, well, you literally can’t. [20:30:27] That goes for everything by the way, not just you. [20:31:09] Technically i dont have to have a director position, i just have to be on the board [20:31:49] clarifying question - aren’t all board members directors? [20:32:08] Not all the time, usually yes [20:32:25] Okay got it [20:32:41] A board can have non-director positions [20:32:45] It would be an advisory, non-voting role right [20:33:38] It can be whatever the board wants, only legal requirement is 3 directors [20:33:51] okay [20:34:11] But that varies state to state [20:34:38] Each state governs corporation law differently [20:35:38] Corporation is very much a state level law area, federally its mostly tax stuff [20:51:44] hi [20:55:54] Hi, I hope this isn't an issue but is there any simple infobox template that can be easily imported? Trying to help set up some pages with some but struggling. [20:58:24] Hello [20:58:40] Look in the pinned messages for info about templates [20:58:59] btw Tali, thank you again for the help yesterday 😄 [20:59:13] I guess you guys must have a billion people with no clue, so I appreciate the help/patience people have 🙂 [21:00:43] That's what we're here for [21:02:37] Right now I'm just getting an infobox ready. Although I am a tad confused, the one in pinned references requires some code to be pasted in the .css page on ones wiki if you want to export it. [21:02:40] Does this, [21:02:46] A. Require me to enable the CSS extension [21:03:02] B. Have a separate location/default page to paste this into once said extensions enabled? [21:03:12] Sorry, still very new to this all 😅 [21:07:08] Infobox styling can either be included in the infobox itself via inline CSS or in Common.css (you should assign a single class to all infoboxes, such as "infobox", and style them separately from other elements by using the "." prefix that designates classes in CSS) [21:08:01] Thank you
