[01:59:12] uhhh how exactly? Oh btw is my meta account connected with wikipedia and wikicommons? [01:59:19] or uh miraheze account or whatever? [02:07:13] Your MH accounts is global to all MH wikis (thus including MH's meta) [03:36:05] there's "wiki (un)deletion" section, you add request there according to template the others do [03:37:09] as in edit in? Also got it then, so I delete the MH account, my wikipedia/wikicommons won't get affected [03:37:10] thanks [05:21:50] Is the content of the Wiki actually deleted if no one uses it for long enough? [05:35:35] It seems to be, but after 194 days with the exception of if the "Wiki [is] made to be read, where a lot of information is already on wiki and doesn't need to be actively edited." [05:42:20] We do eventually actually delete it [05:42:41] It's rarely bang on 194 days when they are wiped [06:29:51] Curious if this ever ended up being a thing [06:30:07] Or otherwise is there a way to just make a link to creating a new article? [06:31:47] I've made a page w/ "create new article" fields (inputbox extension) and added the link to that page in sudebar [06:32:20] Sounds good, I'll do the same. Thanks for the quick reply! [06:34:01] [1/3] here it is, if you wonder [06:34:01] [2/3] [06:34:02] [3/3] I made it complicated tho lol, can be reduced to a single inpubox w/o fancy stuff [06:34:25] Much appreciated [06:34:29] Clean looking wiki btw [06:34:38] thanks [06:36:29] Mind if I use it as a basis? I'm admittedly not experienced with this and learning as I go with a bit of plug and play kek [06:36:43] But I want to ask ofc before I just copy and paste [06:37:04] sure [06:37:33] thanks a ton! [06:37:55] make sure to check the extension's page tho [06:38:10] how to use it etc [06:38:20] Will make sure to do [06:55:16] [1/5] I'll be 100% honest, I wasn't able to properly get the one you had working but I got the basic one on the page that is just [06:55:16] [2/5] type=create [06:55:16] [3/5] break=no [06:55:17] [4/5] /inputbox [06:55:17] [5/5] to work. Is there a way to simply make them add templates or is that asking too much for just the extension? [06:56:07] Ah nevermind, I'm a dummy. I got stuck thinking it was in preloadparams[]= for some reason when I think it is in parser functions. [06:56:13] My apology for the ping for no reason [06:56:55] [1/2] there's a parameter that will add a template to fresh page, it'll appear in editor [06:56:56] [2/2] I've done this too, but like - I've made that template to have all stuff an article should, that includes infobox, section headers, some other templates, navbox and some categories [06:59:46] [1/4] for example [06:59:46] [2/4] `preload=Template:ArticleEP` [06:59:47] [3/4] will add in editor this template [06:59:47] [4/4] [07:02:01] I just wanted to have article all clean and stuff so made a lot of create boxes (by using extension itself in a template) and created there preload templates for each type [07:07:32] [1/2] the problem I didn't thought about tho - how it'll go for visual editor users [07:07:32] [2/2] I'm 100% source editor enjoyer and feel at easy in the code lol [07:12:20] Thanks for the help with this, I got mine up and working now 🙂 [07:12:24] Exactly what I was looking for [07:12:59] yw [13:27:02] [1/2] Just letting everyone know I have other things which will be eating up my time and won't have much time to attend miraheze or any wiki projects, if you need me please dm me and I will reply when I have some free time [13:27:02] [2/2] Thanks cocopuff2018 [16:28:02] Hi [19:36:52] I have an appointment that ends tomorrow at 1, how about then? [20:05:16] so it's just MH and not the other wiki meta stuff, gotcha [20:05:25] edit it in? [20:06:49] yes [20:13:41] thanks [20:22:06] thanks, uh final thing: how do i add in my name stuff with ease since it says i need to sign my stuff and what not [20:27:21] `` [20:28:53] Hiii, how would I be able to create these pages? I want it to be the same as in Wikipedia @theoneandonlylegroom [20:29:41] why ping me lmao [20:30:14] Cuz you seem experienced in the site [20:30:31] if you tried to import something from Wikipedia - congrats, now you gotta import all the missing stuff manually the same way [20:31:21] Importing stuff from Wikipedia can be messy [20:31:30] Idk what to fill the template page with. Whenever I copy the source in I have to create other templates, etc etc. Is that how it's done? [20:31:43] The source of the template on Wikipedia [20:32:09] the right way has to be export/import, if you are taking from Wikipedia simply copy/pasting code won't get you anywhere [20:32:28] How would I do that? [20:33:11] Wish all pages and templates were readily available 😅 [20:33:46] [1/2] I'm currently making a guide on infobox making, but I've already added section about importing so it might help: [20:33:47] [2/2] [[User:Legroom/Infoboxes#Taking infobox from another place]] [20:33:47] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Legroom/Infoboxes#Taking_infobox_from_another_place [20:33:47]

[20:34:39] it's better to take templates from FANDOM, believe it or not [20:35:15] their default set of templates is much simpler and thus better than Wikipedia has, even things like stub hatnot or documentation [20:35:48] [1/2] someday there will be a proper set of templates available on Miraheze Dev Wiki to use [20:35:49] [2/2] but not today lol [20:35:54] I alo think you will dig a deep hole if you take from Wikipeida [20:36:15] It will take a while and be a lot of pain to inport all pages and all templates [20:42:46] also "all pages and templates" would be literally billions of pages, I don't think you really would want that 😉 [20:42:47] I guess I'll import from FANDOM then [20:45:22] Where would I find the Special:Export page of FANDOM, I can't find it [20:45:50] I mean on the Miraheze system, not on my personal Wiki 🤣 [20:54:14] [1/2] in URL after `wiki/` insert `Special:Export` [20:54:14] [2/2] although I suspect that FANDOM has something w/ logged out users, I can't do basic shit on my old wikis unless I login [20:57:39] Yeah lol I had to create a fandom account because of that [20:58:02] sorry about that [20:58:09] So I can't just import the XML file, I have to put forward a request for it to be imported? [20:58:55] import request is done if XML is too big [20:59:45] The file is 5KB [21:00:18] Btw when I import this file does it create a page [21:00:32] man, I gotta sleep lol [21:00:53] Nooo save me😭 [21:01:12] hopefully other folks here will help w/ your further questions [21:01:48] I have 6 hours of sleep before work now <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [21:02:02] Good nightttt 💤 [21:28:53] why does the thing keep spitting this out at me? [21:29:13] I'm following the wiki formating here as best as possibel [21:35:24] when saved it says and [21:37:35] as opposed to saying a. and saying what I wrote, and [a] [21:45:23] Well i got that done [21:45:30] so how do i delete my account? [22:07:49] You can't; however, you can request that it be locked and vanished [22:37:44] Really? also then it would be erased then of sorts from the records and all instead? [22:38:51] You would be renamed to "Vanished user [string of random letters and numbers]", but any edits you've made will remain, as they're required for copyright reasons [23:03:05] yet it's all on my wiki, and that wiki will be deleted/destroyed [23:03:17] so yeah nothing here really will stay.
