[00:08:17] how can i edit my web url [00:08:25] i don’t want to have miraheze in my link anymore [00:32:08] You mean provide your own custom domain? well first you need to register a domain if you dont have one, but idk if you can change the url later, I’ll check. [01:06:10] [1/18] I've been trying to figure out how to use this, and after setting up a bot account and a bunch of files for pywikibot to use, I've come to the following error: [01:06:11] [2/18] ```WARNING: Http response status 404 [01:06:11] [3/18] WARNING: Non-JSON response received from server abts:en for url [01:06:11] [4/18] https://adriftbetwixtthestars.miraheze.org/wiki/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo%7Cuserinfo&siprop=namespaces%7Cnamespacealiases%7Cgeneral&continue=&uiprop=blockinfo%7Chasmsg&maxlag=5&format=json [01:06:11] [5/18] The server may be down.

I instead removed the /wiki automatically added with the language in the family file, and just adding /wiki manually to any page URLs i try to mess with, and this successfully rem [01:06:13] [10/18] oves /wiki from the api link, but this results in a similar but different error: [01:06:13] [11/18] ```WARNING: Http response status 404 [01:06:14] [12/18] WARNING: Non-JSON response received from server abts:en for url [01:06:14] [13/18] https://adriftbetwixtthestars.miraheze.org/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo%7Cuserinfo&siprop=namespaces%7Cnamespacealiases%7Cgeneral&continue=&uiprop=blockinfo%7Chasmsg&maxlag=5&format=json [01:06:15] [14/18] The server may be down.

[01:08:17] from my limited understanding of mediawiki and stuff, it seems like i'm missing an "api.php" [01:11:13] You should be hitting `https://adriftbetwixtthestars.miraheze.org/w/api.php` [01:11:29] oh huh, interesting, i'll see if i can make it do that [01:13:04] ok, i think that fixed it, because it successfully tried to edit the page (and failed, because i didn't set up some bot user stuff up properly i think, which i can fix on my own) [01:13:05] thank you!! [01:14:02] No problem! [01:28:47] ok so i've got a pretty interesting issue after that. i get the error `pywikibot.exceptions.UserRightsError: User "None" does not have required user right "edit"` when i try to run my test code, so I take a look in `user-config.py` and discover that the `usernames` dictionary has no previous references or sources, which leads me to believe i set it up improperly [01:31:34] not entirely sure where that is supposed to come from and i have no idea how to repair it, nor do i know if that's the actual issue [01:31:38] how can i see every page a template is used on? [01:35:05] try the "What links here" tool on the sidebar thing while on the page for a template [02:02:37] nevermind i might've found the issue [02:05:03] Yep, works great now. My issue was I never ran `pwb.exe login` [03:05:55] [[Custom domains]] [03:05:55] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Custom_domains [03:05:55] [03:18:02] Hey void were you able to read over my evidence yet? [03:32:20] <5.35> [1/4] I was wondering about [03:32:20] <5.35> [2/4] [03:32:20] <5.35> [3/4] [03:32:21] <5.35> [4/4] which use [03:32:55] <5.35> [1/2] `{{attr|x|y}}` and `{{tag|span}}` [03:32:55] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:attr [03:32:55] <5.35> [2/2] are no longer colored as shown on the template pages [03:33:11] <5.35> [1/2] seems that `{{#tag:syntaxhighlight||lang=text|style=display:none!important}}` [03:33:11] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23tag:Template:syntaxhighlight [03:33:11] <5.35> [2/2] is now necessary [03:51:56] Hello, I am Prodraxis from Wikipedia. I will probably lurk here from time to time - I have an account on Miraheze but I mostly lurk there cause most of the time I edit the English Wikipedia. [03:53:08] O/ [03:55:34] Zppix, I recognize you from the WP discord... [03:56:00] Yep been on enwiki since around 2014 [03:56:05] lol [03:56:15] i've only been editing since March this year [03:56:34] Oh really? Could of swore ive seen you around forever [03:56:51] yeah.... well, i was an avid lurker since 2020ish [03:57:09] (as an IP ofc. that's why I know about policy and stuff. I didn't edit back then tho) [03:57:18] I think maybe I’m thinking of Prax something [03:57:45] Praxidicae?? well she's a global sysop and apparently according to WP:IMBRIAN a bunch of people confuse us lmao [03:58:05] Yes, and lol Its pretty similar [03:58:49] I have no relation to Praxidicae though, it's only a coincidence tbh. I used to be named Shadow of the Starlit Sky until I decided I needed a shorter username and chose Prodraxis as a reference to Prodigy Math Game, my first DYK [03:59:22] Ah nice [03:59:41] yeah... my old username was too long and I despised typing it out whenever I logged in [04:01:35] Yeah was 14 when I joined enwiki, then in 2017 I came here [04:03:18] lol [04:03:42] well...... I can say I am somewhere in high school but I will not reveal exact age due to privacy issues [04:04:05] Of course [04:04:22] I would edit enwiki during class all the time [04:04:32] lmao same [04:04:35] Infact most of my edits near the beginning were done during class 🤣 [04:05:03] i wrote a good chunk of Korea Job World in class lol [04:05:17] I even did some sysadmin stuff for Miraheze while in class lol [04:05:41] i would never pass rfa in miraheze or wp meanwhile lmao [04:06:08] not that i want to be an admin or anything - i personally would only run if the community wants me to [04:06:23] This next few weeks will be busy for me here on Miraheze [04:06:50] yeah.... i've been seeing tons of updates and stuff on meta [04:07:10] Yeah my most recent edits on Meta are huge hints as to what [04:11:01] ikr.. [07:58:14] <.labster> I just looked up best wiki hosting on What3Words and it says that it's in the middle of Nunavut: https://what3words.com/best.wiki.hosting [12:52:32] Loo [12:57:31] I’ve been looking at MediaWiki hosting cause I Was considering making a self hosted on a home server [12:57:47] I have fallen down the habit hole of learning about panels [12:58:03] Help me please! [13:08:33] Also do y’all know if you can use a domain registered through Squarespace for a wiki? Like setting cookieworld.com to the site and wiki.cookieworld.com to a Miraheze wiki? [13:17:25] @orduin, please take a look at https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_permissions#Jph2_(Wiki_creator) and https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_permissions#Redmin_(Wiki_Creator) if you are able to; wiki requests are still piling up. [14:32:44] where can I find the option for having a wiki's logo ($wgLogo) appear over the sidebar? [14:35:22] also, is there a way to stop $wgLogo from being included in preview embeds? [14:35:45] it's unneccessary and annoying for our users [14:36:24] Manage this wiki's additional settings -> Styling [14:36:43] there's a space for a link to a logo and favicon [14:37:48] yes, and I've filled that out with the image you can see in my second embed [14:38:00] that's working and fine, we've got the favicon turning up where it should [14:38:15] but for some reason $wgLogo doesn't appear on the actual site [14:38:32] it's all still just text and coloured boxes [14:41:32] no logo :( [14:41:53] I assume it is some sort of toggle or option somewhere like "show logo in sidebar", but I haven't been able to find it [14:43:09] might be a function of the skin. i the generic skin, i had the favicon but no logo. when i switched to the legacy 2010 skin, the logo shows up for me. [14:47:18] yeah, def because it's 2022 vector [14:47:30] I still haven't figured out how it really works [14:51:35] ahh ok [14:51:43] I'll try out some other skins then, thankyou [14:52:38] you can change to legacy Vector in the same styling settings tho [14:53:03] a lot of people don't like new version lol [15:03:52] any idea why google says "there isn't a lot of HTTPS pages on your site thus it's not very convenient", while everyone know that Miraheze is HTTPS? [15:04:20] Is the entire Miraheze is full HTTPS? [15:04:29] I thought so? [15:04:58] Some parts of the website can be unecrypted and thus cannot pass Google HTTPS [15:05:49] No idea if they do check if a website is accessible without encryption [15:06:40] like typing http://meta.miraheze.org/ instead of https [15:07:16] @theoneandonlylegroom where are you seeing that [15:07:24] @max20091 we do not serve over http [15:08:02] miraheze.org (and all subdomains) are HSTS preloaded [15:08:18] No browser should even be attempting HTTP requests [15:13:31] [1/2] in Google Search Console [15:13:31] [2/2] maybe I misinterpreted it ... [15:14:01] @theoneandonlylegroom can you screenshot (in English) and DM [15:19:24] Is there a version of the ManageWiki Extension for non farm wikis? [15:20:31] [1/2] Yes, it's open-source but don't expect for supports tho [15:20:31] [2/2] https://github.com/miraheze/ManageWiki [15:20:58] isn't heavily tied w/ CreateWiki? [15:21:02] ManageWiki/CreateWiki really is hard to setup outside of the Miraheze environment [15:21:10] Was gonna say, that’s why I asked [15:21:23] ManageWiki/CreateWiki work very close together [15:21:28] They can be seperated, but no idea how well it would work [15:21:32] Pretty sure you need CreateWiki [15:21:37] Or maybe create needs manage [15:21:46] No pretty dashboard for me 😔, it’s not a big deal just wanted to try it cause gonna make a self hosted wiki on a home server [15:22:09] The [[mw:Extention:ManageWiki]] page mentions it needs create wiki [15:22:09] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extention:ManageWiki [15:22:10] [15:22:24] ManageWiki requires CreateWiki [15:22:45] So the answer to is there a version for non-farms, no ish [15:22:57] You can have CreateWiki installed and just not assign the rights [15:23:13] Know if there’s another similar extension? [15:23:16] But both are hard to install [15:23:54] Eh, oh well, not like i don’t know how to use LocalSettings.PHP [15:24:22] There's https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfigManager for blue spice [15:26:44] Oh thank you [15:27:14] Related ish questions, anyone have any experience using a git version control to back up configurations? [15:27:35] Yes [15:27:40] Miraheze does that [15:27:51] (Also to make it the same across all servers) [15:28:40] Yeah I got the idea looking at IRC git relays [15:29:11] I tend to be trigger happy with configs so I was thinking about it to revert my tomfuckery [15:31:01] It's a pretty smart idea [15:32:18] Yeah, just wondering which files and such to include, rn Im thinking to do skins, LocalSettings.PHP, and the extensions directory [15:32:43] You can do the whole installation if you want [15:32:49] That's easy enough to do [15:32:56] It's generally up you [15:33:14] Full install will make updating super easy, git pull can just work [15:35:53] Yeah, but including stuff like the images directory would cause data to rollback when restoring [15:37:39] You can change the images directory [15:39:13] Hm? [15:40:03] Make images store somewhere else [15:41:42] True, although right now I’m just setting up a wiki instance for the fun of it, not to use it in a prod environment so not super important, I just wanna learn how [15:41:55] But thanks for all your help [18:19:38] i suggest putting cgi/fpm and memcached to improve loading times [18:22:56] there's a mediawiki discord and irc for your support questions @pixldev [18:27:17] that’s probably a better place yeah thank you [18:28:36] setup cache in your wiki and also setup php fpm/fastcgi [18:31:07] 133 requests done, wiki request queue is now no longer backlogged [18:32:56] good job [18:35:59] 👏 [18:43:27] @pixldev your loading times might be slow without cache and fastcgi, at least it was in my experience [18:45:25] and might be reaching timeouts [18:45:52] ah, thanks, ill keep that in mind if I ever go to set up a producation server or the testing is being real slow [18:46:38] cache definitely should help performance and reduce timeouts [18:47:09] cgi is a dubious one [18:48:17] so i cant really setup managewiki and createwiki independently? [19:17:19] No [19:18:26] welp [19:18:44] i mean, i cant setup managewiki/createwiki outside of miraheze? [19:19:10] Its not easy [19:20:01] there's no instructions to do this because its unsupported correct? [19:20:46] does it require puppet and varnish set up? [19:20:58] and i take its not possible on windows [19:23:00] Its just extremely difficult to setup [19:23:57] It wasnt really designed to be used outside of Miraheze, although if someone has the technical knowledge to do so nothing is stopping them from trying [19:25:43] Its not designed for small scale wiki setups either [19:35:51] we recently had there some folks ready to pay to help them set up CreateWiki on their farm [19:37:28] (they got help for free lol) [19:40:46] oh cool [19:40:59] i'd like to set up createwiki/managewiki for self-learning/experimentation [19:45:23] the only other wiki farms using these extensions I know are Telepedia and WikiTide/Forge (but this one is not surprising) [19:51:03] WikiTide yeah is basically blue Miraheze from what i see [19:51:14] Telepedia is purple fandom [20:50:35] Yeah, you need the cw_wikis table [20:51:40] There are some commits hanging about on GitHub somewhere in attempts to spin off MW to not require CW but I don’t believe they got very far. [21:16:51] [1/2] RE: WT, things are a bit different on backend (extensive use of cloud-based architecture + cloudflare) along with slightly stricter wiki acceptance criteria. [21:16:51] [2/2] Given that it was formed by former MH volunteers (myself included) there's absolutely a lot of shared thinking and "Blue MH" is still an absolutely fair comparison for now. [21:18:49] I expect we'll continue to further diverge over time, but more stable hosts is better for everyone, hence why I'm still volunteering as a discord mod here. [21:20:16] Aight, thanks for the clarification Aracham, and good luck with WikiTide, keep up the good work mg 🫡 [21:20:30] <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [21:35:01] Hello people's! [21:54:38] came here to ask a question. I noticed that on wikipedia when using the vector 2022 skin there's a way to disable limited width which gets rid of alot of the unused space for pages. Is there a way to do the same on a miraheze wiki? Since I don't see that setting [22:19:58] why so? [22:31:33] what's a good way to handle typos in the source material? <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> for example there's a dialogue option "Ghost Stroy" in a game, and there's wanting to stay accurate but it also won't make any sense to ppl running the wiki through auto translate/screen readers or stuff like that [22:38:23] Thats really up to you, I might use square brackes([]) to tell the reader this part of the text has been changed to make it more readable [22:38:31] Maybe outline in a policy page [22:38:43] <:nomChocoStrawberry:938647184973365318> [22:51:50] `[sic]`(often in superscript) is basically the indicator used to say, that this is a mistake kept from the original, if you do end up needing something like that [22:56:27] [1/2] agree [sic] is the accepted means of saying the mistake comes from the original. [22:56:27] [2/2] but i don't recall ever seeing [sic] as a superscript. [23:46:17] Hmm might be remembering it wrong on the superscript part, not sure, maybe confusing it with reference notations, as they use a similar kind of style [23:53:29] theres a Wikipedia page on it as well [23:53:37] {{wp:Sic}} [23:53:37] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/wp:Template:Sic [23:53:39] [23:55:14] not the page i eas looking for but okay [23:55:35] https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic [23:55:41] what i meant to link [23:55:55] good luck chime <:EpicFaceMH:912930767972225095> [23:56:46] haha tyy [23:56:51] works with [] idkf [23:57:02] [[wp:Sic]] goofy bot [23:57:02] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/wp:Sic [23:57:03] [23:57:38] wait no [23:57:40] idfk
