[02:01:59] Apologies for the newbie question but, is the best way to customize the look of a wiki just editing Common.css? Is there an extension or tool people are using? I feel like I'm doing this wrong, haha [02:05:55] its how it was implemented, navigation doesnt need to reinvent the wheel, it reuses the mediawiki sidebar which in most skins its used as a sidebar but nothing prevents it from being used anywhere [02:07:17] [1/2] common.css for global customizations, skin specific ones go into .css [02:07:17] [2/2] there's information on mediawiki wiki if you want to learn more about the filenames and load order [02:24:41] Would anyone be willing to help me out with CSS stuff? I'm somewhat familiar with how it works, but am running into several roadblocks [02:24:59] (By that, I mean debug a little, not asking for an editor, haha) [02:25:45] [1/2] Common.css/skinname.css can be slow to update indeed, but is ultimatly the main way to change how your wiki looks (aside from changing the skin used ofc). Due to that slowness 2 common ways is to either use your browsers element inspector, to figure out the css you want, as you can then see the changes instantly, though changes done there only last until a relo [02:25:45] [2/2] ad. Alternatively you can put the css first in your user version of common.css/skinname.css, as that one is applied almost instantly as well when saved, and does stick through a reload as well then [02:26:59] https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/index.php is very nice site to find info about css (or a lot of other programming languages for that matter) [02:29:01] Appreciate it, I've been referencing it frequently [03:55:47] [1/2] `MediaWiki:Cosmos-navigation` [03:55:47] [2/2] for other skins - default `MediaWiki:Sidebar` [03:57:51] one of my wikis is fully on Cosmos, and the other uses it w/ MobileFrontend - neither responded to default page [04:08:26] oh i see [10:54:56] @randomizedkirbytree47 You need to /auth to post links [13:57:05] how long does it normally take for a wiki to be accepted? [14:02:05] Depends massively on who is around [14:02:17] How long has it been @poggerplayzyt [14:16:36] [1/6] Thanks! [14:16:36] [2/6] Okay, one more request: may I get an interwiki prefix on Pandora's Tale Wiki leading to Inkpedia? [14:16:36] [3/6] Specifically, I want [14:16:37] [4/6] https://pandorastale.miraheze.org/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki [14:16:37] [5/6] To have the prefix [[ink:blahblahblah]] lead to the corresponding article on [14:16:37] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/ink:blahblahblah [14:16:37] [6/6] https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page [14:16:38]

[14:41:12] almost 2 hours now [14:41:47] Come back in a day or 2. You'll get an email if you have one verified. [14:41:55] ok [15:21:42] I have approved your request [15:21:52] thank you! [15:22:48] You're welcome [15:24:47] I do not have the ability to add interwiki links currently; if and when I gain the interwiki administrator right, I will add the prefix as requested [15:30:54] how do i make a theme dark mode? [15:33:34] Via CSS; `filter: invert(1)` applied to the body element should do the trick [15:34:00] so do i put that on the custom css page for the theme? [15:34:59] You can put it in MediaWiki:Common.css to apply it to all skins, but that will work too [15:52:27] there's dark mode extension which add light/darkode button, but it sometimes acts wonky [15:53:08] what Tali suggested is "permanent" solution, just turning your wiki dark w/o any modes [16:32:55] for some reason some of the images I have stopped working. Anyone else with this issue? [16:42:19] yes, I have issues [16:43:06] [1/2] that issue was couple of days ago tho [16:43:07] [2/2] lemme check my wikis right now [16:43:43] still happens to my wiki though [16:46:57] my wikis are intact [16:47:06] you just get broken images? [16:49:06] Mine as well. [16:49:46] yeah [16:49:56] most work, some don't [16:51:50] @w0o0my which wiki [16:52:41] as an example https://chronocronum.miraheze.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D1%83%D0%B4_%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B4_%D0%94%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BC_%D0%92%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC [16:53:30] what's your wiki? [16:53:39] Manga Dubs Wiki. [16:53:46] omg [16:53:55] The images there show up fine. [16:54:15] the infamous UK company dubbing anime? [16:54:54] No, it covers several YouTube channels where manga is written out and read out by voice actors, such as Etra chan saw it!, ATTACK on MIKA and Sekai No Fushigi. [16:55:14] ah, my bad lol [16:55:28] on my link, too? [16:55:43] No, my wiki.

Today I find it broken [16:58:58] I have never seen that error before and it doesn't make sense [16:59:19] Hopefully @paladox will know [17:00:19] I’m not sure why [17:00:24] I’m mobile currently [17:01:09] Oh maybe that’s my recent change. Will have to look later [17:01:13] guys you're scaring me <:crashwoah:785111345749950464> [17:01:46] @w0o0my do not be scared by me thinking out loud [17:01:54] And your originals are there [17:01:58] It's just things broken [17:04:25] thanks for taking notice of the issue guys <:1_pray:800978408631959562> [19:19:50] Does anyone know why this keeps happening? [19:20:09] what exactly [19:21:11] It says "Ambassador to" [19:21:19] It's not supposed to say that [19:21:47] you copied infobox from wikipedia? [19:21:51] I did, yeah [19:21:56] And it says it on every office [20:06:35] I am not sure where I went wrong, to be honest [20:12:14] it has to be part of the template then [20:12:35] I tried it on another wiki and it didn't have the same problem. [20:12:53] I completely redid the officeholder template and that didn't fix it either. [20:13:47] can you link it? :o [20:19:15] https://athenaeum.miraheze.org/wiki/Helene_Hohgarton,_1st_Duchess_of_Hanover-Brunswick [20:21:16] [1/2] I am also having an issue with this page: [20:21:16] [2/2] https://athenaeum.miraheze.org/wiki/Hildegarde_Hohgarton,_2nd_Duchess_of_Hanover-Brunswick [20:21:33] The spouses not showing up and the parents having a clear issue. [20:32:13] has to be this part, subpage of the template [20:32:14] https://athenaeum.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_officeholder/office [20:33:17] What do I do to fix it? [20:35:37] could try deleting the "ambassador to" text and see what happens, or delete that whole section if you're not using it <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> I'm not too familiar with such templates sorry [20:44:17] It looks like taking out the Ambassador part worked [20:44:21] in the template [20:44:29] I have no idea how/why it was being invoked but it worked. [20:46:56] Thanks for your help!! [20:52:52] the parent issue seems to have been solved, did you try "spouses" for the spouse field? :o both are in the template [20:53:02] I did, yeah [20:53:09] Instead of doing the Mother, Father separate thing [20:53:34] nice <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [21:11:20] fixed now [21:14:52] Thank you! @w0o0my: your images should now work [21:15:28] fantastic, thank you so much [21:15:45] Please thank @paladox [21:15:53] @paladox thanks a ton! [21:15:59] yw 🙂 [21:19:32] what about ^ ?
