[00:01:49] any idea how to port over custom CSS? [00:06:22] [1/2] Writing that same CSS on other Mediawiki page. [00:06:22] [2/2] Of you found it on Mediawiki:Common.css then copy it in Mediawiki:Common.css [00:08:24] Mediawiki:Common.css isn't showing up [00:09:16] Do you know from where is the custom CSS? [00:09:52] yeah, I'm porting it over from the former FANDOM common css [00:09:58] I just can't find the page to paste it into on mira [00:10:28] What page you can't find? The one at fandom or the one at Miraheze? [00:11:05] mira [00:11:15] If the page is empty at that URL, you can create the page [00:12:56] worked. thanks [00:13:12] Great 👍 [00:23:02] is miraheze down or is it just me? [00:23:18] oh its back already [00:23:45] I also experienced that [00:24:03] I would have been very annoyed if it remained because I have been working on an infobox for like an hour without saving [00:24:19] Bad practice but I digress [00:25:57] save. save often. [00:26:03] save is your friend. [00:26:13] now, if only i could follow my own advice. [00:28:45] <:OpposeMH:775411033330155520> [00:30:16] [1/2] yep [00:30:17] [2/2] (it's back up for me though) [00:30:33] down again [00:30:35] gahhh [00:30:39] 🤷‍♂️ [00:30:49] (tldr it's on and off) [00:56:13] i am not having issues presently, but it does happen from time to time. [00:56:22] always best to save. save often. [00:56:44] (even if i don't always follow my own advice.) [00:57:12] (me when I painstakingly update map modules:) [00:57:17] thanks for the advice [00:57:53] also, i've learned if you go back on your browser, you may not have lost all that edit you just did. [00:59:19] based cache [01:19:28] does anyone know why this is when i try to import the "Module:Message box/ombox.css" from wikipedia? it doesnt seem to work [01:19:45] im sure the answer is more obvious than it is but im not a tech guy haha [01:30:41] you probably need to change the content model of that page to css [01:32:05] "page information" in toolbar or put `&action=info` after the link [01:35:15] thank u [01:50:25] why doesn't the visual editor let me insert a signature? I can insert one via the Source editor just fine (). [01:51:48] That’s on a talk page? [01:56:05] nope [01:56:21] Probably why [01:56:27] oh, you're not supposed to use signatures on non-talk pages? [01:56:35] You normally don’t use Sigs on article pages no [01:56:48] They are for signing messages on talk pages [01:56:48] we have an article that's the wiki's To-Do list, and we want to use signatures to check off completed tasks [01:57:08] should we move the to-do list to the main page's talk then? [01:57:58] I would use a simple template like [[Template:Done]] [01:57:58] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Done [01:57:59]

[01:58:15] but overall yeah use a talk page for that [01:58:17] I think you can enable signatures in namespace settings? [01:58:19] or a project page [01:58:29] or a project talk page! [01:59:23] that too [01:59:46] This seems like the best idea I’d say [02:01:37] unfortunately this does not seem to enable the button [02:02:38] I'll shuffle it over to Talk:Main then [02:02:39] thanks [02:03:05] huh I wonder what it does then <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [02:05:00] oh this is such bullshit - Talk pages only allow source editing [02:05:27] how the hell do you even use the signature button then [02:08:27] that's also a thing in the namespace settings at least [02:09:01] there's no Talk namespace? [02:09:30] talk is the sub to the main main space [02:10:13] it's a tab once you chose the namespace [02:15:40] ah! thankyou [02:18:49] okay this isn't working [02:19:05] changes to namespace settings are being saved, but the changes aren't being implemented [02:19:06] what gives? [02:19:34] I've enabled the signature button for pages across the whole Main namespace, but it's still greyed out [02:19:58] i've enabled visual editing for Talk pages, but there's still only the Source editor button available [02:20:01] wtf is going on? [02:21:20] Maybe it takes a while like many things to go through or something. (I really have no idea how signatures work, so pure geusswork here) [02:25:11] ik everyone is getting a lot of questions already but i changed the favicon for my wiki an hour ago and it still wont update [02:26:13] force a full refresh with Ctrl+F5 [02:27:21] did you put the full link with `https://static.`? [02:29:32] yea [02:32:50] when I force a full refresh on the talk page, the "Edit" link very briefly appears as the page is loaded before vanishing [02:33:07] so it's probably not settings propagation time? [02:33:21] i don't know enough about mediawiki to know wtf i'm looking at [02:43:07] this is the right namespace to be editing, right? [02:49:14] anyone know what property to change here to remove the white part? first time really trying psuedo skinning [03:12:47] okay that was SUPER weird [03:12:52] both changes now work [03:13:00] turns out it WAS settings propagation time? [03:13:02] how strange [03:21:57] yeah seemed pretty long <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [04:35:12] Just a quick question, I sent a request for a creating a new wiki, will it notify me when my wiki has been approved? [04:36:29] There's notifications if you go on Miraheze [04:36:39] It doesn't notify you on email or something iirc [04:37:07] Check back in half a day, usually it takes less than 5 hours [04:37:13] Mines took 5.5 hours [04:42:25] Ah ok, cool tysm! [04:42:38] <:PamThumbsUp:606252632339775572> [05:36:51] It should be sending an email in theory if i remember right [05:46:45] I don't think I got one [05:46:54] I only got an email when I registered a Miraheze account [05:51:26] Actually wait nvm I got an email [05:51:53] Sorry my bad, I meant to say I didn't get a notification when volunteers asked for follow ups [07:19:28] Is there any good youtube vid/reddit page on how to create good infoboxes? [07:48:07] Hi [07:49:16] My wiki zhinternetpedia.miraheze.org can change domain zhipedia.miraheze.org ? [07:49:24] Thanks. [07:55:16] Can staff help me? [08:01:04] given that it is like 8AM for utc, 3AM in new york time and something like midnight for the east coast of the US, the staff may be asleep. [08:02:06] There's not necessarily a standard of "good". You're going to need to customize these things to fit the needs of the content you're documenting. If you'd like help with that aspect I would be happy to make suggestions [08:13:29] Ok sorry thank you talk me. [08:24:24] <.zee.zee.> [1/3] Hey, was wondering [08:24:24] <.zee.zee.> [2/3] Is there a deletion thing if you leave your wiki innactive for a while? [08:24:24] <.zee.zee.> [3/3] I occasionally get long dips of motivation, so I may leave the wiki untouched for a period of time, so I’d rather not put a bunch of work into a wiki only for it to be deleted after a month or so of inactivity [08:33:18] Yes, just make an edit once per ~1.9months [08:34:11] If your wiki is somewhat "almost complete", request an exemption [08:36:23] should I be using a bot account for when i mass delete pages wtih nukedpl, or does it not matter? [08:37:51] [1/2] Bot account is to clean up the recentchanges. [08:37:52] [2/2] If you don't really need to make the recentchanges clean, no need for bot account [08:38:04] noted, thanks [08:40:32] The dormancy policy can be seen here https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Dormancy_Policy [09:01:05] might be good to have an autoresponder bot message for that [09:01:38] [1/3] Guys [09:01:38] [2/3] The owner and only bureaucrat on mockupedia (vladislav fesko) got break for a week or long [09:01:39] [3/3] And the fjattar issue wasn't resolved tho [09:03:29] [1/2] Can i report admin abuse on that wiki that all bureaucrat can't contribute on mockupedia to miraheze staff? [09:03:30] [2/2] (tldr. Admin demotion request) [09:30:22] [1/3] [[SN]] [09:30:22] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SN [09:30:23] [2/3] but it's probably will lead to community vote for demotion [09:30:23] [3/3] if that admin suppresses voting too, then steward definitely will have to intervene [09:30:23]

[09:38:23] the only bureaucrat can't use mockupedia for a week [09:38:49] oops [10:14:21] well shucks, I'll have to migrate another old wiki of mine, roughly a month later after previous, because dead games be popping this year lol [10:14:46] problem is - I don't wanna fuck w/ python ... [10:15:16] also I noticed Maintenance Script can't import files w/ `'` in names [10:15:31] I had to manually upload them after image dump import [11:56:54] what does interwiki prefix mean [11:57:30] a prefix to connect to other wikis [11:57:42] what does this mean in the context of the import form [11:58:14] do i leave it empty? [11:58:27] im adding templates. [11:58:40] for wikipedia the prefix is `w:` [11:58:54] even with templates? [11:59:22] yeah, but you actually can import from Wikipedia directly w/o files [11:59:33] i know but it needs to be in bulk. [11:59:39] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1166744577810645034 [11:59:53] you still need to tick "include templates" [12:00:07] Special:Import fails on big imports [12:00:31] it's just unstable, so I can't guarantee it will work [12:00:56] w/ xml files I mean [12:01:07] its unstable either way. [12:01:34] direct import? [12:01:41] yes. Times out. bad gateway. [12:01:42] Any import that is huge will get stopped by nginx to prevent various issues, so if its a huge import you’d have to do a import request [12:01:55] Poo. [12:02:20] that means the template is too complicated and weights a lot for that task [12:02:23] Stopped by isn’t the right terminology its more like nginx simply times out to prevent issues [12:02:33] ugh fineee [12:02:39] ill make a request [12:03:14] i think is easier to build a simpler template than to load a complex one [12:03:19] That too [12:03:29] Wikipedia templates are insanely complicated [12:03:46] i mean the issue is just it takes a long time [12:04:08] if we set super high web request limits, we'd run out of php-fpm workers [12:04:20] That was kinda the point i was making [12:05:16] we can only have 168 concurrent web requests [12:06:03] get a bigger cable. [12:06:07] /j [12:06:56] nothing to do with network capacity [12:07:03] get a bigger X is the answe [12:07:19] but it's not a bigger network cable [12:07:37] You should get more pidgeon carriers. [12:07:39] i doubt we'd go too high though anyway [12:08:02] it's better to actually import simpler templates from fandom [12:08:13] or doing from scratch yeah [12:08:24] too late [12:08:43] whats the upload size limit for requests [12:14:01] 200MB seems to have hit it lmfao. Yeah I think imma just make my own infoboxes and explain that process to the wiki owner. [12:17:55] [1/2] Can i set the page Special:NewPages to retrieve new pages older than a year? [12:17:55] [2/2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_pages [12:20:54] I think we there must be some $wg setting that limits how far the page looks [12:21:57] I am making a list of pages in chronological order on a spreadhsheet and my wiki started more than a year ago [12:48:56] The way my wiki almost got locked bc I didnt edit during the summer <:droidcry:1126190447178567681> [12:51:26] almost. But even when locked you still have six months more to reopen it [13:04:03] You can always try using Special:OldPages I think it is, but it will list by last edit rather than date created. [13:04:58] i will check on : Special:Log/newpages [13:04:59] There is not Special:OldPages [13:05:54] it is /create [13:07:02] [1/2] for my wiki is this one then: [13:07:02] [2/2] [13:14:39] travelling by writing a date in the offset is some QOL quality of life for this lists [13:29:46] [1/2] Is there a way to filter Special:Log by namespace? [13:29:46] [2/2] Is a great page. I think could be awesome if the page had that added feature [13:30:19] no because it's not just for pages [13:32:30] Yes. I understand. But the thing that the log can be years old is a great feature [13:33:00] maybe DPL and criteria Order by creation date could work? [13:35:27] is there an extension that adds a make new page button? [13:35:42] also how do i align a template right (like an infobox) [13:36:30] align is done with CSS [13:37:54] [1/2] `https://tuscriaturas.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/extensions` [13:37:54] [2/2] > https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Create_Page [13:39:09]
