[02:48:53] Generally how long does it take for a wiki to get approved? [03:02:09] Miraheze backend is currently understaffed. Approvals will take as long as they take. [03:02:56] [1/2] "this sucks!" [03:02:56] [2/2] earlier this year Miraheze was gonna be shut down, so honestly this is fantastic given the alternatives [03:03:20] Ah ok [03:04:16] Honestly makes sense. I checked the request log and it’s been piling up since the 15th. I’d offer to help but I’d be more of a burden. Guess I’ll just have to hurry up and wait. [03:09:40] wiki approvals are usually done by established, trusted users [03:09:55] so unfortunately you aren't able to help [03:10:23] Oh lol. I meant like offer to help out on the backend. [03:11:27] question: is it possible to edit wiki skins? users on my wiki are thinking of using Timless but the tricolour bar looks goofy [03:15:01] you can change various things like colors with css [03:20:45] thanks, where can I find and edit the CSS? I don't see it in the wiki settings [03:21:12] Wiki requests arent backlogged anymore, I’m just the only one doing it [03:21:27] So ill go through them again tomorrow [03:23:12] it's a special page, MediaWiki:Common.css for general css and should be MediaWiki:Timeless.css for Timeless specific css [03:32:49] thanks! but it doesn't look like there's anything there? [03:34:00] yeap that's the uh, intended way. it's not a simple options UI sadly, you'll have to actually write the CSS code [03:34:38] like, write an entirely new CSS for the whole wiki? [03:34:48] nope, just the parts you want to change [03:36:05] ah, ok [03:36:10] i assume that makes more sense if you know CCS [03:36:15] thanks for your help! [03:37:17] np, you can ask how to do a specific thing if you need help with the coding part too [03:47:21] i think you might need [[wp::sic]] ? [03:47:21] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/wp::sic [03:47:22]

[03:47:25] damnit [03:47:29] [[w:sic]] [03:47:29] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sic [03:47:30]

[03:47:34] there you go [03:47:54] its W:, wp: is wikipedia project [07:50:40] [1/4] idk why but CSS parser function seems to be unstable rn [07:50:41] [2/4] when I CSS page as template subpage, it works [07:50:41] [3/4] when I made one as separate MediaWiki CSS page - it doesn't [07:50:41] [4/4] I recall somewhere being stated that MediaWiki pages should work here [08:04:18] trying to change to template subpage and it still doesn't work ... [09:12:34] Are you sure it has the correct content model set? [09:17:23] absolutely [09:17:59] since TS is borked now I always have to manually change content model on CSS pages [11:01:14] hello i want to ask if the import dump is done yet? [13:55:15] I'm attempting to generate a managewiki_backup dump, but every time it fails. However, XML dumps succeed. [13:57:59] macfan or paladox could tell [14:34:59] hello i want to know if the import process is done yet? [14:46:06] did you submitted on phabrticator? [14:47:55] what [14:48:26] i just submitted the form [14:48:33] on miraheze [14:49:41] Fixed with https://github.com/miraheze/DataDump/commit/6534dc46b85fbdba9a4b35e859b35b627067feaf [14:57:10] should work now [14:58:19] Thanks, appreciate it. [14:59:10] what about guy on irc? [14:59:27] what's your wiki @ guest? [15:00:16] https://chidurianwiki.miraheze.org/ here [15:46:44] Guest272: you have to be patient - SRE availability is very limited due to understaffing, hard to know when we might have time to process imports [21:20:28] If it helps, you can pick specific elements with your web browser's dev tools and create individual CSS rules that way (color, background-color, etc.) and then copy them to Timeless.css. Also, there's a Visual CSS Editor extension for Chrome, if you prefer that. [21:22:01] (This is how I tediously customized my wiki recently, lol) [21:57:21] I’m gonna check out the extension, thanks [23:30:56] here we go again ddos kid is back [23:31:43] wtf noooooo [23:39:20] Why do templates imported from wikipedia all say /templatestyles and look like crap and not allow you to use the visual editor to change parameters? https://evolutionism.miraheze.org/wiki/Andromeda [23:39:53] its normal now [23:43:33] Is it something about content models? [23:44:40] You don't have the template styles extension enabled most likely. If you enable, purge the page or make an empty edit [23:45:08] Also yes, the styles subpage will have to have it's content model xhanged to sanitized css [23:45:30] Wikipedia imports are a mess usually, I sadly have to go to sleep now so someone else might assist [23:45:52] Is that just in extensions or something else? [23:46:06] For the templatestyles tag [23:46:32] If you aren't determined to use wikipedia's infobox I'd recommend to use PortableInfobox instead [23:46:36] I found it. It was disabled [23:47:05] As a wikipedian with over 40k edits I'm determined to use wikipedia infoboxes [23:47:05] There's an infobox guide made by Legroom also [23:47:27] Now for visual editor template editing [23:48:25] That fixed it btw [23:55:03] I can't figure out how to allow or restrict editing of the main page. Can someone help? 😂 [23:56:00] Install the protect page extension I believe and protect to Admins only [23:56:29] [[Extention:ProtectPage]] this? [23:56:29] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Extention:ProtectPage [23:56:30]

[23:57:06] Nope. 🙂 Thanks, though! [23:57:25] UserPageEditProtection? [23:57:35] [[Extention:UserPageEditProtection]] this? [23:57:35] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Extention:UserPageEditProtection [23:57:36]

[23:57:51] Wait, that doesn't exist. Weird. [23:57:58] Anyway, there's a plugin called UserPageEditProtection. Is that it? [23:59:18] that sounds like it's UserPage specific so wouldn't work on main pages [23:59:32] ProtectionIndicator? [23:59:41] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ProtectionIndicator
