[00:00:11] haha nice <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [00:04:20] 503 Varnish XID 136803113 [00:04:42] woops [00:05:32] @Site Reliability Engineers seems to be widespread 503's. [00:05:52] seems to work now <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [00:05:56] loads fine for me [00:06:26] Aaaand we're back! [00:06:28] glad to see its fixed <:hunterglee:1127586414217941003> popped in just to see if others were getting 503s too [00:06:37] sigh [00:06:43] Thank you 🙂 [00:07:10] it's kinda funny I joined because I had a question then I got the 503 error LMAO [00:07:23] I think I answered my own question though so that's good [00:10:37] Yes, if I'm correct, it's a part of EmbedVideo or TimedMediaHandler [00:11:18] Yes, if I'm correct, it's a part of EmbedVideo or TimedMediaHandler [00:11:57] Though that thing can't be themed as it is browser native thing [00:17:10] i'm glad i missed the latest batch of 503s [00:25:33] thats fine [00:27:34] Anyone familiar with DPL3 -- is there a way to make a single line configuration like `category=blah|mode=none/dpl` instead of needing to format each line as a new line? would be easier to fit this into a table. [00:31:33] using vector2022, how can i move the toolbox back to the right? [00:36:39] I dont think you can [00:36:57] You can always switch to old vector (which i think is the best skin) [00:37:09] i meant back to the left* oops [00:37:18] Alright, I'll poll it with my community to see how they feel [01:29:54] How do I use templates also can I use templates from Wikipedia would that be possible [01:37:50] Also how do you enable visual editing another features from Wikipedia [01:48:01] [1/2] you can create templates by using the page title `Template:My_template`. You can import templates from wikipedia or other wikis, but you should be aware that many wikipedia templates are complex and rely on one (or many) lua modules and other templates. So, unless you need that level of functionality, it might be easier to create a simpler template. dev.miraheze.org has some you could c [01:48:01] [2/2] opy. [01:48:57] as for visual editing, go to "Manage this Wiki's Extensions". [01:49:47] @jph2 i enabled all the extensions but it doesn't seem to be working [01:51:55] sorry. i always use source editing, so someone else with experience with visual editing will have to weigh in. afik, it should work if the extension is enabled. [01:53:27] OK now it's working thanks for the help [01:59:41] If anyone knows how to use template/add them could you tell me I need help [04:32:59] I have a question related to the policy: Is the main page allowed to contain profanity? [05:20:25] <.c4ko> hey, is there a way to improve the search functions of ones own wiki? for example i use lots of pali words... and it would be nice if the search bar shows results with "Taṇhā" if somebody just search "tanha"..... is there any way do get it less strict? [05:58:04] [1/7] is there a way to change the background colour of these boxes? [05:58:05] [2/7] this is the code i am using for it [05:58:05] [3/7] ` [05:58:05] [4/7] File:Iotan_Mr._Bagel_Full.png|link=Pilots|[[Pilots]] [05:58:05] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Pilots [05:58:06] [5/7] File:Key_Crawler_Shell.png|link=Shells|[[Shells]] [05:58:06] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Shells [05:58:06] [6/7] File:Key_Treasure_Locker.png|link=Items|[[Items]] [05:58:06] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Items [05:58:06] [7/7] /gallery` [05:58:33] im sure tehrs a way to do it i just dont know the syntax [07:19:24] What are search keywords meant to show? Are they meant to be hits from search engine results? [07:22:30] CSS [09:42:20] <.hecko, replying to evilgabe> [1/7] more specifically something like [09:42:20] <.hecko, replying to evilgabe> [2/7] ```css [09:42:21] <.hecko, replying to evilgabe> [3/7] .gallery-black-boxes .thumb { [09:42:21] <.hecko, replying to evilgabe> [4/7] background-color: #222222; [09:42:21] <.hecko, replying to evilgabe> [5/7] } [09:42:22] <.hecko, replying to evilgabe> [6/7] ``` [09:42:22] <.hecko, replying to evilgabe> [7/7] and then add a `gallery-black-boxes` class to the gallery [10:09:36] In Miraheze, how do I add a 404 page with one image that randomly changes to another and another? [10:16:12] <.hecko, replying to josephdapro08> [1/3] for the 404 page you'll have to edit `MediaWiki:Noarticletext` (and probably `MediaWiki:Noarticletext-nopermission` too) [10:16:13] <.hecko, replying to josephdapro08> [2/3] for randomness you can try the `RandomSelection` extension ([help here]()), but it only randomizes on page render (and not refresh) so it might not be random enough for you (or not work at all) [10:16:13] <.hecko, replying to josephdapro08> [3/3] the alternative would be to randomize using javascript which i don't have much experience with [10:21:36] how can i add js to a page?

[13:34:53] Is it possible to create a Miraheze wiki from a SQL backup of an existing wiki? We're hoping to preserve as much of our previous self-hosted wiki as we can, including images and revision history [13:35:21] I'm aware XML exports and imports are possible but I'm not sure they preserve all that [13:41:19] I think Import does save rev history, according to [[mw: Manual:Importing XML dumps]], not images though [13:41:19] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/_Manual:Importing_XML_dumps [13:41:19]

[13:42:07] Oh wait I think I mostra [13:42:30] [1/3] > the ideal is basically a setup that is a literal duplicate of the backup I've restored [13:42:31] [2/3] > user accounts, images (and also lots of the machine manuals as attachments of course). I know we had to customise and add plugins for some of the various file formats and they weren't supported by default [13:42:31] [3/3] this is what someone else is saying, and I guess an SQL dump restore is as close as we get to that [13:45:53] [1/4] I'd guess it's possible w/ another self hosting instance [13:45:53] [2/4] xml contains all pages, including MediaWiki namespace [13:45:53] [3/4] not sure about custom namespaces and user groups tho [13:45:53] [4/4] Miraheze wiki are operating w/ ManageWiki system, which lets to set up custom namespaces and user groups and other settings [13:46:41] I guess Rhinos or Zppix would know better than me [13:47:25] some other wiki farms use ManageWiki as well, and it has its own backups as JSON files [13:48:21] There may also be issues if you use extensions not currently in/cant be added to ManageWiki [13:51:29] @bbc.co.uk: It depends how old the SQL backup is [13:52:07] If it's one from 1.39/1.40, then we could probably do it yes. [13:52:14] It's not really up to me though [13:52:53] if you've got very heavy customisation though, we may not be able to support [14:12:27] The backup's from 1.36.1 [14:18:52] unlikely to work [14:19:25] that's rough, but thanks for letting me know! [14:50:53] <__mangone__> uh [14:51:08] <__mangone__> my stuff imported [14:51:17] <__mangone__> but the pages are blank except for the main page [14:51:41] <__mangone__> or this [14:58:24] you need to enable extension PortableInfobox, the make an empty edit on that page [14:58:57] PortableInfobox is a fandom thing which doesn't work right away on other places [14:59:04] need to do these steps [15:04:17] <__mangone__, replying to theoneandonlylegroom> how does one do that [15:05:25] [1/3] look the admin sidebar, there will be "manage this wiki's extensions" link [15:05:25] [2/3] then in search field type portableinfobox [15:05:26] [3/3] enable it and save changes [15:06:02] <__mangone__> alr alr thx [15:07:12] <__mangone__> it did not fix anything [15:07:19] <__mangone__> i made an edit [15:23:07] can you link the page?

[15:59:18] <__mangone__> oh i did not [15:59:46] I see only google drive link, and the task wasn't vandalized either [15:59:56] <__mangone__> must've thought i did [16:00:14] <__mangone__> sorry lol [18:46:54] in vector.css (or common.css? im not sure) whats the tags for the body and header text? [19:13:01] [1/7] content area in Vector is [19:13:02] [2/7] `.mw-body` [19:13:02] [3/7] headers (can go to Common.css) [19:13:02] [4/7] `.mw-body h1.firstHeading [19:13:03] [5/7] .mw-body h2 [19:13:03] [6/7] .mw-body h3 [19:13:03] [7/7] .mw-body h4` [19:13:17] thank u <:100ksmile:1081807505988014202> [19:13:50] for other elements like sidebar and page tab you need other classes [19:14:18] you can check my Vector.css, but the usual process is to poke around w/ element inspector [19:14:38] has anyone noticed VE get faster? [19:14:38] [19:14:54] source editor user moment [19:15:59] If you do use VE, hopefully you've noticed it get faster. [20:42:49] anyone knows what skin this is? [20:43:30] legacy vectork [20:43:43] thanks! [20:45:31] is there a way to change the main page text (the big one that says main page) to something else? [20:46:23] catboo: yes [20:46:58] how? [20:47:31] I think Mediawiki:mainpage-title, i don’t remember the exact name [20:47:33] need to check [20:47:39] yes something like that [20:47:53] i know theres a version that shows to logged in and logged out [20:48:59] hmm interesting [20:51:31] Mediawiki:mainpage-title redirects to a page with that title and a dash as content [20:53:26] Just rename Main Page and then change MediaWiki:Mainpage to whatever you renamed Main Page to [20:54:44] that's the thing... i'm trying to find out how to rename main page [20:55:07] sorry if it sounds a bit of a stupid question, i'm creating my very first wiki [20:55:37] there should be a move button in the menu on the top right of the page [20:55:37] there are several ways [20:55:57] to "rename" any page you need to "move" it [20:57:27] aaa i see, thank you! [21:42:16] slow load anyone? [21:45:35] a little [22:21:33] it changes [22:21:53] most notably when going to editor (source, mind you) [22:40:20] how could i make a article counter on my wiki? i know that my wiki has the special:statistics page but am wondering how can i display the number of articles there on another page (mariopedia does that) [22:41:40] [[mw:Help:Magic_words#Statistics]] [22:41:40] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Statistics [22:41:40]

[22:42:14] thanks! [23:02:53] anyone having problems w/ `vertical-align` in tables? [23:03:10] it has no effects even in element inspector [23:08:46] I have custom classes for table, and vertical-align comes off as middle when I didn't set it [23:09:04] even w/o any styling it aligns to middle [23:14:11] nvm I'm dumb [23:14:16] I gotta sleep lol [23:17:57] Hi :) [23:18:15] Is it possible to add mp3 clips to sites? [23:19:46] yes, but i believe you have to have an extension for it [23:19:57] Great! Thanks! [23:20:05] no problem! [23:23:44] Do you know what its called? [23:24:05] TimedMediaHandler? [23:24:34] Does anyone have a list of recommended extensions? [23:25:33] yep [23:25:53] There isn't really one set of recommended extensions (or those that would be are active by default rather), what you want depends on your needs which is different for every wiki [23:26:36] Well it feels like TimedMediaHandler would be part of a recommended list [23:26:43] But yeah I get that [23:26:46] Every wiki is different [23:26:51] I like how it starts bare bones [23:26:55] And you choose what you want [23:27:23] Why? plenty of wiki's don't need music embedded on them, if anything I would say its a pretty niche one [23:27:45] Yeah true [23:27:59] Oh yeah, is it possible to make the media auto play? [23:28:00] it's useful for gaming wikis or music related wikis... [23:28:50] Yep, Im planning on adding the sounds monster make on every monster page. Im also adding the ambience of every level on every level page. [23:28:57] Cool emersion [23:29:36] [1/2] hmm not sure [23:29:36] [2/2] you can try to search about it here to see if anyone has already asked [23:29:42] i'll go look up in the docs [23:32:09] ??? [23:32:11] is there a way to make my links have a media tag automatically? [23:32:22] extracting text from the page or something [23:33:10] it's for displaying 3d models [23:33:22] Oh nice! [23:33:24] I need that actually! [23:39:26] Uhh how do I insert the audio? [23:39:48] i just realized my wording is unclear [23:40:08] I assumed it could just be Insert -> Images and Media, but that only wants images. [23:40:27] i meant, i want my pages to have an automatically generated media description tag, extracting text from the page to make it [23:41:46] it's on Special:Upload [23:42:16] afaik, you can't do that but there could be an extension to do it [23:42:30] <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [23:43:24] there is one, but infoboxes seem to stump it [23:50:46] [1/2] https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Description2 [23:50:46]
