[00:01:40] yeah it can just take a sec, i haven't done a name change but i know one of my noticeboard requests took about 4 days to be done [00:02:44] [1/7] anyone know how to place text onto an image? this is what I've cooked up so far but it doesn't seem to be working. [00:02:44] [2/7] ``` css [00:02:45] [3/7]
[00:02:45] [4/7] [[File:Column_title.jpg|frameless|center|960px]] [00:02:45] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Column_title.jpg [00:02:45] [5/7]
Title
[00:02:46] [6/7] /div [00:02:46] [7/7] ``` [00:05:02] nevermind! just had to clear cache [00:14:34] how do i change the background of a gallery or image it's currently white [00:18:26] are these transparent png images? [00:18:37] yes [00:20:50] also by background of the image i mean the frame [00:20:56] of the imag [00:20:57] e [00:25:52] do you need captions? [00:26:29] [1/8] i figured out how to do it without captions: [00:26:29] [2/8] ```CSS [00:26:29] [3/8] [00:26:30] [4/8] Snail_(transparent).png|caption [00:26:30] [5/8] Snail_(transparent).png|caption [00:26:30] [6/8] Snail_(transparent).png|caption [00:26:31] [7/8] /gallery [00:26:31] [8/8] ``` [00:26:47] oh wow thanks [00:27:35] [1/2] oh you could also do: [00:27:35] [2/2] ```style="background-color: transparent;"``` [00:27:55] @Generic [00:31:02] i got it to work but unfortunately i specifically wanted the background of a transparent image to be the color, not the background of the gallery overall] [00:31:46] hm could i see your code [00:43:31] Do you guys think I should make country, military, etc. wiki pages like normal, while having individual people be customized similar to Fandom? [00:43:56] How so? [00:44:33] Essentially, having a quote at the top, and an infobox at the side, with a third-person view of the character as if you know everything about them [00:44:39] for example, Trigger [00:44:43] hold on [00:46:47] I was also thinking of a third person perspective of you reading it realistically, for example, one of the major players in my universe "disappears" (in reality, becoming a mercenary for the Israel Defence Forces) [01:08:25] [1/3] i couldn't figure out how to make the images have their own background colour, but to make them the same colour as the background behind them you may need to put ```mode=nolines``` at the end of your like so: [01:08:25] [2/3] `````` [01:08:26] [3/3] if that doesn't work then you might need to check if your png are transparent idk [01:10:34] it did what you said but it's not the outcome i wanted [01:15:08] sorry but it looks like this is the extent of my wikipedia css knowledge, i wish you the best of luck for figuring it all out [01:20:43] [1/4] this depends on the look and feel you want for your wiki. and probably also what the wiki is about. [01:20:43] [2/4] if you want it to be like Big Wiki, then no quotes at the top and no (or few, but "cited" third-person views. [01:20:43] [3/4] but, if it's a game/rpg related wiki, then quotes and third person views might enhance the vibe. [01:20:44] [4/4] Big Wiki intends to provide a neutral perspective, but if your wiki focuses on a particular viewpoint, then third person commentary probably matters. [01:21:05] probably, yeah. [01:21:21] [1/2] it's really what works best for you. [01:21:21] [2/2] and you can always change it if you want. [01:22:33] ...real question now [01:22:58] is it violating copyright/trademark to make a reference to something (Ex, naming a mercenary group "Sicario" as a reference to Project Wingman)? [01:24:28] test your hypothesis [01:24:33] lmao [01:31:17] how do i add more stuff to this bar on the side (stuff in the blue) [02:04:41] I should probably extend the- i have an idea [02:35:20] should i remove the section about the TADF senior airman? [02:51:20] he would be really mad!! [04:08:33] once again I'm asking people to create threads in #support because of fast moving nature of this channel [04:10:48] [1/5] the process of CSS mods delves down to pocking around w/ element inspector, there's, sadly, no ready list of classes/id's for everything [04:10:49] [2/5] here's what I've done on my wiki [04:10:49] [3/5] `.mw-body li.gallerybox div.thumb { [04:10:49] [4/5] background: transparent; [04:10:49] [5/5] border: none; }` [04:12:09] does it happen w/ `?safemode=1` too? [04:14:34] [1/2] me who is spotify hater lol [04:14:34] [2/2] still having problems? [04:16:22] quick question: is there a quick way of adding notes (like image?) or must i do so manually like in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Explanatory_notes [04:17:31] wait im stupid disregard [04:17:40] this page explains everything actually [04:17:48] yeah i just realised i needed to scroll down [04:17:54] it's a second reference section [04:18:15] chur yea [04:22:31] my first table [04:28:10] miraheze on light mode feels brighter than discord on light mode omg <:droidcry:1126190447178567681> [04:29:13] its [04:29:17] just wikipedia [04:29:20] ...are you telling me [04:29:22] you use wikipedia [04:29:26] on fucking DARK MODE? [04:29:26] @haya_nate43 Watch your language. [04:29:33] # HEATHEN [04:29:34] well yes 🧍‍♀️ [04:29:42] # BEGONE, STAY AWAY [04:29:56] wikipedia and miraheze are satisfying on dark mode [04:30:14] [1/2] it supposed to be possible, according to skin's documentation, but I never got how to do this on Miraheze [04:30:14] [2/2] [[mw:Skin:Cosmos]] [04:30:14] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Cosmos [04:30:14] [04:30:20] especially when im editing late at night like rn bc my eyes literally would start straining [04:30:54] also idk if i should ask here but does this look like good formatting for a country page [04:32:12] im casually giving the poorest team the third best aircraft in the entire sport [04:32:37] thing is, they can barely afford the damn thing so they almost never use it [04:40:26] Am I able to request installation of a plug-in to my wiki here? [04:41:08] pretty sure you can only ask on Phabricator soz [04:45:43] I'm curious, what is your wiki called? [04:46:03] A Second Chance, why? [04:46:44] im getting girls und panzer vibes [04:46:51] thats the point yeah [04:47:44] oh ok is it about it or inspired by it [04:48:27] this is just a sport inspired off senshadō [04:48:58] the rest of the universe is inspired off of War Thunder, Ace Combat, my own alt universe, and others [04:49:08] pretty neat [04:50:09] I wanted to check it out, I like the setting and what you have so far [04:52:13] ai generation is really the savior of my wiki [04:52:32] like all the images on my wiki are ai <:droidcry:1126190447178567681> [04:52:44] If you find a page that you're capable of editing, dm me the link. I want my wiki open to the public but I don't really trust the public. [04:53:50] Lol got it, tho I'm pretty sure somewhere in the permissions you can make it so only mods/admins/bureaucrats can edit on the whole wiki I believe [04:54:25] is there a link to the wiki? [04:55:37] So far I see that Ukraine and the crude country infobox can be edited [05:01:30] [1/2] MANY extensions can be enabled by any Bureaucrat on a wiki by going to "Manage this wiki's extensions" on the wiki in question. If the extension on there is greyed out and says something about needing managewiki-restricted a steward has to enable it for you, thus [[SN]] would be where to go. If it not on a list, then you would have to ask on Phabricato [05:01:30] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SN [05:01:30] [2/2] r. Though there would be no guarantee even then, there could be a variety of reasons why an extension might just not be installed at all in that case [05:01:30] [05:16:32] most common reasons on not having an extension available on Miraheze are lack of maintenance (abandoned by developers), MW version incompatibility or issues w/ privacy, security or performance [05:41:05] I enabled the Popups extension yesterday, and it's still not working [05:41:09] anyone have any idea why that might be? [05:41:21] i checked the settings for the extension, and it should be working [05:41:29] it also does appear on my wiki's `Special:Version` page [05:43:00] (in my timezone) i enabled the extension at 3:15PM yesterday, and now it's 8:45AM [05:43:24] i'll see if it works by the end of the day, but is there anything I might be forgetting that's causing it to not work? [06:00:00] Make sure the required extensions listed under it are enabled too. PageImages specifically [06:00:10] Don't remember if they're enabled by default [06:00:52] Generally it takes a moment for ectensions to update but never longer than 15 minutes usually [06:01:12] So something has to beissing on your side still [06:25:48] hi! i have a small question, approximately how long can it take for my wiki request to be reviewed? [06:35:03] not a long time, i'm pretty sure i got mine made in under a day [06:37:07] i did yeah [06:37:11] it's required to enable it [06:38:00] working on a wiki logo, left or right? [06:38:38] i like the left, but i could see a different colour than yellow working for the right [06:38:42] why yellow? [06:39:13] i was making a little header for my articles and ended up using black and gold for it, so was trying to match the theme [06:39:17] i say that cos they look like mountains to me, which aren't usually yellow [06:39:35] thought spicing it up so it wasn't just monochrome might be nice [06:39:47] i might try experiment a bit though cause yellow does look funny [06:39:57] if you overall theme is yellow/gold, then the right would fit [06:40:05] it just looks weird by itself since "yellow mountains" [06:40:31] this is good feedback thank you [06:41:25] btw https://www.mildata.com.tr/ [06:41:41] ah [06:41:47] ill go with my wiki's full name then [06:45:11] refined [11:01:18] # I said DM. [11:07:10] if you're going to protect every page, you should just uncheck the "edit" permission for users and everyone in Special:ManageWiki/permissions <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> that way only you can edit it [11:10:01] Thank you. [11:10:47] how does this work [11:11:33] you choose a usergroup like (everyone) which is all anon/non-logged in users, then click submit [11:11:40] from there you can edit their permisisons [15:04:57] it does [15:07:20] can you link a page where it happens? [15:10:00] https://chronocronum.miraheze.org/wiki/%D0%A7%D0%B0%D1%82_swgalaxy.ru the last two images [15:13:52] is the first image the correct one? <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [15:14:13] the correct colors [15:14:26] what I see on Firefox/Arc [15:18:28] from surface level it just seems like that's just how the file is, because even the file page itself shows it like that <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [15:21:46] [1/2] I'm getting same on FF and my Chrome fork [15:21:46] [2/2] wild guess but the png itself might unusual, sometimes weird shit happens w/ graphic files [15:22:17] even opening static link shows the same colors [15:23:15] but Safari shows it fine? even though it's uploaded through Chromium [15:23:46] also, the file is the same as always, and before there were no problems. By "the same" I mean it's just a screenshot [15:24:11] but Safari shows it correctly? [15:24:17] as well as my computer [15:42:30] it kinda sounds like a gamma thing, and I suppose it's in the image file in a way that other browsers can't use it [15:53:32] you think it'd be better to try and replace the files? [15:56:30] probably yeah <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> maybe you can load the image in an image editor and export it again [16:25:58] can someone help me with this please: #How to: page description/preview on hover [16:26:08] i enabled the Popups extension and everything, but it's yet to actually function [16:26:20] and it's now been over 24 hours [16:26:31] how much pages you have on wiki actually? [16:26:37] not many [16:26:43] maybe like 15 tops [16:27:11] can you drop the link again [16:27:14] yeah 15 exactly actually, not including user pages [16:27:23] https://jojomodding.miraheze.org/wiki/JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Modding_Wiki [16:33:24] actually 8 [16:33:30] not counting redirects [16:34:13] there is little amount of internal linking [16:35:50] a lot of wikipedia links [16:35:53] zero images [16:44:35] I got ogged out and can't login [16:45:05] gives me VPN IP ban error although I've disconnected from VPN [16:47:30] nvm [16:48:40] ok, popups 100% don't work w/ redirects, like CC2 in your case [16:49:16] [1/2] as for the error itself - I don't know [16:49:17] [2/2] max I could find is this [16:49:53] I see that your articles start w/ text, not headings tho [16:53:38] <.yowin> Hey there, can somebody tell me how much time it takes for the admins to migrates a wiki ? I suppose it depends of the size but I'm curious (and thirsty of filling red hyperlinks) [16:54:48] you mean the xml text import of file dump? [16:54:57] you made requests already? [16:55:06] <.yowin, replying to theoneandonlylegroom> I made it yesterday [17:01:30] 😔 thanks for the tip [17:03:54] huh [17:03:58] i don’t even see that [17:04:09] no popup at all [17:04:59] [1/2] it will work only on "normal" pages [17:04:59] [2/2] not redirects, not categories, not wikipedia links (obvisously) [17:20:51] why’s that? [17:20:58] it works fine on other sites i’ve seen it used on [17:27:12] you sure about that? [17:27:23] it's literally said in documentation [17:28:00] fairly certain [17:28:08] you can test at https://jojowiki.com [17:33:29] i don't see cases I said here [17:39:25] how do i make an image something like this? [17:39:29] for the home screen [17:40:59] [1/2] make in any graphic program, recommended resolution is 135x135px [17:40:59] [2/2] set up the logo: additional settings admin menu, styling tab, needs raw image links (which has `static` in URL) [17:43:42] I can confirm that that fixes the issue [17:45:09] now for some tedious work [17:57:19] How exactly would I email a user through Miraheze? [17:57:57] Need to know because of a user who has been constantly trying to break into my own Wiki, despite not being welcome, with lots of alts, so I'm making a verification system [17:58:05] Unfortunately, said user is also in this Discord [17:58:07] a user should have email tied/verified w/ their account first [17:58:13] hmm [17:59:08] The user in question is named Bila here, and they've been harassing the shit out of me for pretty much the entire year [17:59:33] I went into further detail on the individual in question with some of the other staff [17:59:56] Where would I find this, though? [18:02:12] I can't find now huh <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [18:06:05] it seems to be a special page, Special:EmailUser [18:07:15] it will also show them your email sounds like <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [18:08:39] <00000000000.0000000000000> Hello, my friend sent an import request from fandom wiki to miraheze 6 days ago and gotten no response [18:09:02] <00000000000.0000000000000> Don't know if the staff is just busy or the email doesn't arrive to them [18:11:05] where exactly they left request? [18:11:18] <00000000000.0000000000000> Lemme get a link [18:11:42] <00000000000.0000000000000> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestImportDump [18:11:59] <00000000000.0000000000000> Both here and in email to miraheze team [18:14:55] I managed to set up emails, but whenever I go to EmailUser, it states that I am not allowed to execute that action [18:18:22] [1/2] can you check here? [18:18:23] [2/2] [18:19:05] <00000000000.0000000000000> Ok let me check on my friend [18:22:28] you can disable being mailed in your preferences, maybe they have <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [18:22:58] Yeah it’s yet to be reviewed seems [18:23:10] macfan, #501 escaped [18:24:12] <00000000000.0000000000000> Ok thank you! [18:24:20] <00000000000.0000000000000> Just not sure since we didn't get any reply lol [19:14:09] I'm the owner of said wiki, so I had to just set the permissions to allow myself to email others [19:14:26] Did it work? [20:56:00] anyone getting ? [20:56:07] yup [20:56:24] ok, doesn't seem to be hard [20:56:35] recovered [20:58:48] I keep getting it [20:59:29] [1/2] question for the background image can I use jpg instead of png ? [20:59:30] [2/2] For now I'm not changing a yet but for faster loading I figured best to have a faster image to load thats not 5 mb big [20:59:46] it's persistent [20:59:55] yes you can [21:00:05] yea same [21:01:11] Issues accessing wikis known [21:02:56] Yes. 502 here too [21:03:42] Same here. I wonder why Miraheze keeps going down? [21:04:13] 502 Bad Gateway again [21:04:31] free service ran by volunteers won't always be as well maintained as professional services [21:04:34] It’s working for me again! [21:05:00] [1/2] We have a ton more traffic since people are leaving fandom and coming to Miraheze. [21:05:00] [2/2] The people who manage Miraheze are volunteers and only do that on their volunteer time, not during work [21:05:29] This kind of instability is exactly what I was afraid of. [21:05:32] also the amount of people using the service has increased dramatically from what I would guess [21:05:52] is this a good thing.. in theory? more people [21:05:54] how about you won't spirale into your usual doom talk Bradlerz, please [21:06:10] Yes. The people at Miraheze pay the server service with the donations of users since Miraheze don't run ads [21:06:27] alright [21:06:29] good then [21:06:38] we'll suffer through some setbacks [21:06:45] I didn’t mean for it to look like that! [21:07:15] took people long enough to see just how trash fandom is [21:07:15] holy cow, i didn't realise miraheze's servers are only being managed by two volunteers [21:07:21] I'm considering donating money again to Miraheze but with the christmas spends and other expenses... [21:07:43] I lost my job on the last week so.. 😔 [21:08:00] i might send through a little donation lol [21:08:50] [1/2] Good luck 💪. [21:08:50] [2/2] I'm unemployes too [21:09:03] 😭 [21:09:15] I managed to send donation only once before being cut from the rest of the world [21:09:21] wish I could donate more [21:09:27] And then there were some videos on YouTube about it, including a Minecraft video from a YouTuber I used to like until he started doing clickbait. And then the Minecraft Wiki moved off of FANDOM, and Minecraft is one of the most popular games! [21:09:30] along w/ Internet Archive [21:09:30] web hosting is hard [21:09:35] How are you doing Legroom? [21:09:49] got sick again bleh [21:09:55] tee hee that was my doing [21:09:57] I am so glad I joined Miraheze before it was cool [21:10:05] internet archive is amazing I don't know how they manage to keep that service up, all the images in those web pages must take up so much space [21:10:18] For a service run entirely by very few volunteers, Miraheze's uptime is impressive tbh [21:10:21] During the pre-Reception times I guess? [21:10:34] Internet Archive is the best site ever. Without it there would be no wiki of mine [21:10:37] the fucking copyright strikes they get in recent years too [21:11:05] oh i remember hearing about that, something to do with archiving paywalled articles [21:11:08] I know, right? Who in their right mind would think it’s a good idea to go after an archive of Internet history? [21:11:23] the music industry [21:11:30] corporations 🎉 [21:11:43] book publishers [21:11:59] And Nintendo apparently doesn’t like their music being out there, like when they forced a YouTuber to delete their channel! [21:12:11] anyone getting constant 502's on miraheze? I was creating a bunch of pages on my wiki and now I'm getting constant bad gateway's from nginx [21:12:21] got this too [21:12:29] its been fixed [21:12:33] not for me [21:12:41] am I just rate limited or smth [21:12:42] oh it broke again [21:12:47] the site is unstable [21:12:51] it's still persentent, sys admins are looking into it [21:12:51] gotta wait it out [21:13:11] Intermittent 503s?! Probably just the servers getting overloaded again! [21:13:25] my company loses $10K a minute without miraheze being available [21:13:25] simmer down [21:13:35] Sorry! [21:13:36] we don't know why [21:13:36] make a cup of coffee and take a break [21:13:41] it'll be back [21:14:00] Do you think it’s something to do with the mass exodus from FANDOM? [21:14:08] don't ever rely on free services of your money depends on it [21:14:16] Miraheze is for fan projects [21:14:17] still has better uptime than other farms i know :) [21:14:19] my money does not depend on it [21:14:22] I was kidding [21:14:24] I'm not a sys admin and I don't like to speculate [21:14:42] OK then! [21:15:10] AllTheTropes is my favorite Miraheze site and it going down all the time is very annoying! [21:15:14] THERE'S A BOMB STRAPPED TO MY CHEST!!! IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE IN 3 SECONDS UNLESS MIRAHEZE COMES BACK [21:15:43] not funny did not laugh [21:15:50] aw [21:20:51] damn the NZD to USD conversion rate is nuts [21:21:13] all the conversion rates to usd are wack af [21:21:31] lol true [21:21:38] i tried to buy something that was 100$ from this place that only took euros and it costed 130$ after taxes and conversion rates [21:22:57] 10 usd is like 17.30 nzd [21:30:18] that is pretty bad [21:30:32] i mean minimum wage is 22.70 so it balances out kinda [21:30:40] I thought the canadian dollar was bad but it's apparently not as bad [21:30:57] our economy is pretty screwed right now too lol [21:34:41] Problem seems to have been caused by upstream maintenance. I suspect some network infrastructure maintenance done by our hosting provider caused some network links to have outdated routing information temporarily. [21:45:07] Currency conversions just looking at numbers doesn't really tell anything, what matters is really local prices of stuff put up against local average wages [21:45:42] Please don't make threats again [21:46:54] it was a spongebob reference :( [21:48:59] @plopilpy and saying it again could lead to significant sanction [21:57:03] hey chat, does anybody know if there's a css file that gets read on mobile AND desktop? i thought common.css would be it but when i put css variables in there, it doesn't get read by mobile.css, which makes me think common.css isn't loaded at all [21:59:46] I believe that changed at some point so it did [21:59:52] Maybe not 1.40 [22:00:17] I think you need a responsive skin [22:06:10] no i just need something that's loaded on all devices so i can access css variables lmao [22:06:22] it has access to special colors i like to use and when i want to change them i want it to be in one place [22:06:40] Ye but the only skins it will work for are ones that work on both mobile & desktop [22:06:52] Vector wasn't originally designed for that [22:06:58] i think you're misunderstanding me [22:07:05] i am using css variables for: color values [22:07:18] and i want to access those values on: mobile [22:07:32] Yes and MinervaNueue doesn't load mobile.css
