[04:11:56] we don't get as much infobox questions here now, aren't we? [04:12:30] dev wiki admin asks me about moving my guide from Meta to dev [04:27:30] They ebb and flow I think [07:54:37] do you people feel like dev wiki is underdeveloped? [07:57:49] I still can't get why templates wiki had to be moved (and a lot of stuff got lost in the process) [07:59:06] I wrote my first infobox guide on Templates and it got nuked lol [09:44:55] [1/2] hey sorry for the late reply, but thanks for checking it out! [09:44:55] [2/2] Is there any chance of this extension (lingo) getting re-enabled soon? [10:52:14] I'm still getting blocked for using Orbot (Tor) despite being logged in <:squint:755498402346827946> [15:07:39] how do i change the main page [15:10:43] Click on Edit (or Edit source depending on whether you enabled VisualEditor) next to the Read tab. [15:11:56] i dont see an edit button [15:12:40] Are you an administrator of your wiki? [15:12:49] yes i created the wiki [15:15:17] can you see the admin sidebar, aka ManageWiki? [15:15:42] and are you logged in? (I got logged out of Meta today) [15:16:36] im logged in and i am on the manage wiki page [15:17:34] You can't edit your wiki's main page in ManageWiki; the main page is edited like any other page [15:17:48] well i dont see an edit button [15:18:27] Are you on your wiki's main page? [15:18:36] ok i am going to it [15:18:49] im on it [15:20:40] The "Edit" button should appear near the wiki's title [15:22:29] i dont see anything] [15:23:25] [1/2] try clicking the hamburger icon [15:23:25] [2/2] are you logged in? [15:24:02] i am logged in and theres nothing on the hamberger icon [15:24:56] what happens if you put ?action=edit in the url? [15:25:23] it worked [15:25:42] looks like the skin doesn't have editor buttons available [15:30:31] It seems like Minerva [15:30:57] yeah minervaneue has this problem [15:32:05] [1/2] you either set up Minerva as default skin or switched to mobile mode [15:32:06] [2/2] in short - Minerva is a bad skin, even for mobile mode, use another [15:36:11] but none of the other ones are good [15:36:26] unless there are other ones that i cant see [15:36:39] you can check other skins in ManageWiki [15:41:24] skins tab [15:41:29] does anyone kow what skin this is? or is it a custom one [15:42:13] Minerva hides a lot of button and stuff, it was created for and tied w/ mobile mode extension [15:43:13] that's Citizen [15:43:28] Citizen is available on Miraheze [15:44:07] you need to enable it in the skins tab on Special:ManageWiki/extensions [15:44:53] ik but when i click the check then click save nothing happens [15:45:18] because you should set it as default skin in styling settings [15:45:30] you did this w/ Minerva already? [15:45:46] where is the styling settings [15:46:00] Manage this wiki's additional settings [15:46:08] in admin sidebar [15:46:11] Styling tab [15:46:18] right the first setting [15:48:30] that's because that page is to enable/disable skins from the available skins to the wiki [15:51:10] how do i change the icon in the top left corner [15:59:19] scroll a bit the styling settings [15:59:43] idk if Citizen has it separately, but it should be there, along w/ default destinations [16:01:33] how do i get to it with citezin [16:02:11] waiy [16:02:15] where it [16:03:36] i cant find a place to upload it [16:17:26] in sidebar there must be an Upload file link [16:17:47] or go to `Special:Upload` via URL [16:21:29] they're trying to upload a logo i guess? [16:28:16] yes, what I'm saying is where to upload it [18:10:31] ok, why logouts still happen? [18:12:51] Could be a few issues [18:48:54] i've had weird logout issues because of the browser starving [20:05:22] <24ean> any ideas how i can get a category like this for my wiki page ? [20:06:11] category? [20:06:16] <24ean> yes [20:06:42] wdym? categories are "folder" pages, usually visible at the bottom of the page [20:07:28] what exactly you are calling a category on this screenshot? [20:07:28] <24ean> Oh [20:07:45] <24ean> this [20:08:00] <24ean> i wanna get that on my page but its just plain text instead# [20:08:01] alright, this thing is called infobox [20:08:39] you tried to code it already? [20:09:33] <24ean> nope [20:12:08] <24ean> or how do i get this category [20:12:11] <24ean> just this [20:12:13] <24ean> by itself [20:12:14] <24ean> is that possible [20:13:08] [1/3] then you might need to check this [20:13:08] [2/3] [[User:Legroom/Infoboxes]] [20:13:08] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Legroom/Infoboxes [20:13:09] [3/3] this particular infobox is pretty comlicated tho, so you'll probably end up w/ import for now, but as mentioned in the guide several times - be ready for errors [20:13:09]

[20:13:53] at the bottom of the page code type `[[Category:`name`]]` [20:13:53] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:%60name%60 [20:14:38] sometimes infoboxes can add categories automatically, depends on how they were coded [20:15:22] <24ean> wheres the page source?? [20:15:28] <24ean> sorry i dont have a CLUE about coding or anything [20:15:32] relax [20:15:35] <24ean> i just wanna pursue a hobby of mine [20:15:38] listen [20:15:42] it's not scary [20:15:55] when you press edit button, what do you get? [20:20:05] there are just 2 types of page editors, one called source code/editor, and another is called visual [20:21:09] source editor isn't complicated or anything, it's just relies on wiki markup, like discord text formatting [20:21:22] <24ean> for some reason i keep getting a permission error [20:21:24] <24ean> but i own the forum [20:21:47] are you sure you're logged in? [20:22:06] <24ean> yup now i am [20:22:14] your wiki is private? [20:22:32] yeah, this is the source editor [20:22:43] <24ean> alright [20:22:53] <24ean> so at the top do i type something o [20:31:38] [1/10] you type text as usual and stuff [20:31:39] [2/10] infobox is a template, and templates are added to pages w/ `{{...}}` [20:31:39] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:... [20:31:39] [3/10] but template must be created first, or it won't work, check the guide I've linked earlier - [20:31:39] [4/10] links to pages inside your wiki, categories and files in text are added w/ `[[...]]` [20:31:39] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/... [20:31:40] [5/10] and so on, more info on wiki formatting here - [20:31:40] [6/10] however, if you are not feeling all this stuff, you can use visual editor [20:31:40] [7/10] it's like you are editing and seeing the result at the same time [20:31:41] [8/10] it's an extension which has to be enabled - click on "Manage this wiki's extensions" link in admin sidebar, then go to "Editors" tab, check "VisualEditor" and save changes [20:31:41] [9/10] after that the Edit button will start loading it [20:31:41] [10/10] there's one problem w/ it tho - templates are harder to insert here
