tags if I remember correct) [03:05:48] hmm [03:19:55] [1/2] Hmm, with the variables extension or some template trickery, it may also be possible to have multiple copies of the same table (with different version(s) of the columns) inside tabs. I can't think of a nice way to do it that wouldn't involve some fugly code though. [03:19:56] [2/2] Other than that, maybe take a look at for decluttering the table a bit? [03:25:36] this is what I came up with [03:25:55] not horrible [03:27:11] Hi! I want to import a wiki dump to Miraheze but it seems like I am having issues with logging into phabricator using my Miraheze account [03:27:15] is there an alternative? [03:29:08] Normally we prefer import requests to go through if possible. Though, if you do need to access phabricator, click the "Login with MediaWiki" button at the bottom right of the login screen. You'll use that instead of your username and password. The page [[Phabricator]] has some more information if you need it. [03:29:08] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Phabricator [03:29:09]

[03:30:04] Looks pretty good, can't say I have any ideas that would look better :) [03:31:13] no idea why its making the edges look like that though [03:31:18] or why I can't center the tabber [03:36:35] probably via css [03:42:37] Hi, for the source wiki do we fill in the original wiki it's exported from or the wiki we're importing to [03:42:52] Because if it's the former, the wiki was closed down earlier today [03:45:32] Original wiki is where it is from, if it's closed, that should be fine too. [03:45:43] Void do you happen to know the threshold required content wise so that Miraheze doesn't begin deleting the page in 60 days since the dormancy policy is vague on that regard [03:46:29] Is it measured by the size of the page or the amount of pages? [03:47:40] Are you asking about the 0 contributions clause or the exemptions clause? [03:48:39] Exemptions [03:50:16] My situation is that I have some level of content (15-125 kb, 25+ pages) and some templates [03:51:19] But as my wiki is a one man project, there's a chance I may go on an indefinite hiatus and I'd like to know how much more I need to get done to ensure my wiki isn't deleted when I go on a hiatus [03:52:44] Ah, in that case, it's generally a case-by-case type thing. Typically though, I personally just check to make sure the wiki isn't empty and actually contains some pages of relevant content (25+ should be enough, I'm pretty sure I've granted an exemption to a wiki with less). [03:53:42] Are exemptions permanent (I don't have to check in and refresh with staff)? [03:57:17] Permanent by default. I'm pretty sure the only temporary exemption we have expired like 2 years ago, and is still up. [03:59:23] Good to hear, I appreciate the info [03:59:25] <:PamThumbsUp:606252632339775572> [04:12:48] how do i make it so body only targets mw-content? [04:15:05] just make the selector #mw-content instead of body [04:19:33] how do i do that agan [04:20:54] did you make that body * rule? [04:21:41] its miraheze [04:22:10] if it's default then you can't change it, only overwrite it [06:31:57] [1/2] Does any of the Tab extensions allow for a picture file to be on the tab heading? [06:31:57] [2/2] AFAIK Tabber(Neue) doesn't [06:49:08] [1/2] it never was an option for all 4 versions of tabbers I knew [06:49:08] [2/2] when I wanted to this on Fandom, I had to ask some guy to make a js script (it's broken now after 2021 updates) [06:51:16] [1/3] fellas, question [06:51:16] [2/3] if wiki name is changed, do all project namespaces pages get updated prefix automatically? [06:51:16] [3/3] and what would happen if they are used in MediaWiki pages, like MediaWiki:Mainpage? has to be changed manually? [06:55:39] [1/2] IIRC, internally, the project namespace is literally Project:, but is aliased to the sitename (although at an even deeper level, the namespace of a page is stored as a numeric id, changing the displayed name of the namespace will automatically reflect on all pages in that namespace, but not links to those pages). If the sitename is changed, any links using it will need to be updated ( [06:55:40] [2/2] unless you add the old name as an alias). [06:56:24] I see, thanks [08:08:03] how do i give people administrator permissions on my wiki [08:15:21] [1/2] click on their username/open their user page [08:15:21] [2/2] in toolbar must be "Change user groups" link [08:16:58] kthx [08:24:01] i dont see administrator [08:25:11] you have to be a bureaucrat to apoint new admins [08:25:23] if you are an admin/sysop, you can't [08:26:28] i am a bureaucrat [08:26:31] or at least im very sure [08:27:05] have you changed someting in permissions settings? [08:27:17] ill try [08:27:40] no, I mean [08:27:55] if you did before you could mess up something w/ bureau [08:28:21] it's not recomended to change bureau and sysop [09:55:36] anyone here used node.js scrapper? [09:55:52] first time I tried it worked flawlessly [09:56:04] now I keep getting code errors from Windows [10:39:09] I keep getting `Cannot find module 'nodemw'` when I've run `npm install nodemw` several times already [10:41:25] is there like a guide out there for licensing on images? [10:41:59] how to apply licenses? [10:42:08] or in general how licenses work? [10:42:58] both i think [10:43:16] oh well i guess the first one falls under the second [10:43:20] but yeah [10:43:53] like at the moment when i upload an image, no licensing options are there [10:46:24] you need to create license (note like) templates, then set them up on MedisWiki:License page [10:47:05] ah [10:47:24] [1/3] example [10:47:24] [2/3] [10:47:24] [3/3] [10:48:51] also, should I go by US fair use, or UK fair dealing [10:48:53] i was confused on that [10:49:00] thanks [10:49:47] Miraheze is currently UK based but will be reincorporated into US soon [10:49:53] Why can't I use the "Insert" button it drives me nuts [10:49:59] wdym [10:50:22] is it permitted for blocking at first place to fjattar (they didn't snap)'s haters before someone even contributed it? [10:50:34] so im guessing i should go for fair use then? [10:51:10] I slapped both just in case lol [10:51:19] hm, okay [10:51:24] I want to add an infobox [10:52:15] [1/2] I suggested you leave a message on [[SN]] [10:52:15] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SN [10:52:16] [2/2] I just can't tell how soon a steward will be able to check out [10:52:16]

[11:56:45] [1/2] I'm curious, is it possible to have a text indicator on a wiki displaying a user hasn't confirmed their email yet? [11:56:46] [2/2] in the most basic of terms it would be something like this: `{{#ifeq: $wgEmailAuthentication|true|email verified|email not verified, check inbox}}` [11:56:46] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23ifeq:Template:_%24wgEmailAuthentication [12:41:31] Most possibly not in wikitext like here, no. But I think it could be possible in JS? Someone more in the know should confirm though [12:42:35] You can see variables accessible from wikitext here [[mw:Help:Magic_words]] [12:42:35] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words [12:43:30] https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words/en [12:43:34] Bot is being sleepy [12:44:41] I installed it manually into folder and still get the error ... [13:40:13] what is the best way to find people to contribute to my wiki? [13:42:58] [1/2] no easy answer here [13:42:58] [2/2] advertise the wiki in communities on other platforms related to subject of the wiki, like reddit, other discord servers, tumblr tags, rtc [13:43:04] [1/2] Likely dependes what your wiki is about. [13:43:04] [2/2] If its a game people that play the game could be a guess. [13:44:29] [1/5] I need a couple of "fixes" about this template [13:44:29] [2/5] https://picross.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:New_Infobox_Game [13:44:29] [3/5] (Don't fret about its shape, it's supposed to be a horizontal version of the typical infoboxes, standing of the top of the article page) [13:44:30] [4/5] 1. I want the (page title) to completely cover the first row. (Nope, trying to merge them on VE didn't work.) [13:44:30] [5/5] 2. To make the whole box itself align to center. (Obv "Float" has no use here) [13:48:51] For the top row, you need a bigger value of colspan [13:49:17] Since the lower rows also have a colspan of 2, there is more columns in total [13:49:24] 4 I think will work here [13:49:53] Also, please only use source mode for templates, it will make your life easier once you learn to use it [13:51:32] [1/2] Inkipedia forced Timeless to have sidebar on the left thus making it look like Vector on desktop (in fact this is just Timeless layout under 1340px) [13:51:32] [2/2] it's basically trad wiki layout w/ nicer buttons and zero worry about mobile compability, man, I def gonna do this on my wikis (while still offering restyled Vector as option) [13:53:10] although less space for background image [13:53:11] the problem is that it has no content [13:53:17] almost no content [13:53:28] what the subject? [13:53:34] transgender people and community [13:53:53] isn't there an LGBTQ+ wiki on miraheze already? [13:54:11] although [13:54:18] I guess the recipe is the same [13:54:21] yes... [13:54:24] go around w/ your idea [13:54:32] but i want this wiki to be unique [13:54:35] That's so nice. Is it a skin option or has to be done per wiki? [13:54:37] someone might get interest in contributing [13:54:43] CSS [13:54:49] i have to write some articles first [13:55:52] @xenareee Thanks. And what about the alignment? [13:56:27] I want to stick the template to the center [13:56:57] I'll have to look on pc since I'm on mobile rn. Quick idea though, could you try adding /center tags around the whole table and previewing? [13:57:49] (very cool wiki subject, I love picross! <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711>) [14:00:36] [1/2] Wow, it worked. The only thing I wasn't expecting was the center alignment having a whole tag for. 🤨 [14:00:36] [2/2] BTW thx [14:01:24] It's an odd tag that isn't used much anymore. You could get the same result by wrapping it with a div that has some centering styling, but I find it more readable [14:06:06] the equivalent would probably be

[14:06:20] because iirc center is deprecated [14:06:26] Yeah iirc [14:09:06] Not sure how long it takes for a html tag to be dropped entirely (will probably work for a long time still) but if you're worried about that, use what Furina said [14:10:43] [1/5] Thx for appreciating [14:10:43] [2/5] I have the same issue of @Exdetransitioner about my wiki (but I don't mind it) -- I mostly doing it one-man-band, and the wiki is a bounce off from nest to nest (FANDOM -> Gamepedia - absorbed by FANDOM -> Miraheze). Heck, the FANDOM one is left intact cuz it garnered a few contributors and seemingly there is a policy there preventing moving it over 🙂 [14:10:43] [3/5] My ultima goal was joining NIWA but now I'm a bit deviated of it -- cuz my target is the WHOLE genre, but it's now turned into a messy "PLOT" (WP:NOT lingo) , i.e. a listathon. [14:10:44] [4/5] I may find someone to fork the "Picross series" part of it as a NIWA-joiner, but not myself cuz since I live in 🇮🇷, I can AFFORD but not REDEEM a .wiki domain [14:10:44] [5/5] Btw it was a short story of my wiki 😂, thx for appreciation again [14:10:49] [1/2] Hi, some cateories on my wiki are listed as paes. I think is a backend issue. [14:10:49] [2/2] Can someone run a php script to fix this issue [14:11:28] hey, i admire one-man wikis. i may not know much about your community or topic, but keep up the good work good sir [14:12:42] when hyperfixation so strong [14:13:11] I had to direct my info hoarding somewhere lol [14:14:08] what information though [14:15:01] if it's about your wiki guides, maybe you could create a separate wiki just for those? just a suggestion off the top of my head [14:15:08] severaly underrated band, in my case, I started the wiki alone on fandom and managed to get it deleted because of how niche it was lol [14:15:13] oh [14:15:17] still managing alone [14:15:22] Soft Cell? [14:15:25] ye [14:15:55] One-man can be tough but there's some freedom in setting and changing the rules whenever you please when there's no one else [14:15:58] the musical guy is s-especially underrated and I'm his biggest fan 😂 [14:16:14] Did it attract anyone else to be a contributor? [14:16:21] I previosuly rewtore his WP article [14:16:27] Exactly [14:17:22] My wiki is very close to one-man too, thankfully it's for a game so I sometimes get an edit and there's two people helping periodically [14:17:23] [1/2] by the way, sorry to interrupt but i just saw this [14:17:23] [2/2] as far as i know and have experienced through my template creation process, visual editing is disabled for templates [14:17:23] [1/2] I haven't tried for real because it's still at WIP stage to my perfectionist eyes [14:17:24] [2/2] but I doubt at this point tbh, because the magority of fans are over 45 and hang exclusively in private facebook groups [14:18:06] I have to data mine shit all by myself [14:18:14] Wajiro mentioned merging cells in visual mode, that's why I mentioned it <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> but yeah should be a default setting afaik? [14:18:16] while they are being weirdly greedy [14:18:41] [1/3] totally get the feeling of running a wiki alone [14:18:41] [2/3] i more or less do most work myself, especially on templates, since none of my mates know how to hahah [14:18:41] [3/3] it's fun though [14:18:42] yeah, VE is turned off for templates by default [14:18:55] one-man is fun bc I am sitting in the room (wiki) and playing with my dolls (pages) [14:19:06] that's weird. whenever i create a Template: page, the Edit button doesn't even show up [14:19:27] If it's a default setting it can be changed from default. :p [14:20:01] not sure if it's a setting but i have never touched the visual editor even when i preach it to my fellow wiki editors [14:21:09] there [14:21:15] It can be changed per-namespace [14:21:44] maybe there's a setting to get it enabled but honestly if i enable that thing i'm VERY likely to going to run into that stupid random row break issue that plagued my previous template again [14:21:48] [1/3] Cuz I then put a big "THIS WIKI IS MOVED TO this address on Miraheze blah blah", assuming it's OK as a founder and admin. Yep? [14:21:49] [2/3] . [14:21:49] [3/3] Nuh-uh! My notice was rolled back cuz of Fandom's "Forking Policy" 🤨 (a google search would explain it) [14:22:01] ah yes [14:22:10] this server had a bit of a talk about that [14:22:29] Yeahh [14:22:58] yeah congrats on updated forked policy [14:23:34] I can't say much that hadn't already been said but this is still so insane to me [14:23:36] I shall pray my wikis are too obscure to care about lol + communities are very nice to go along [14:23:53] i guess just pray a "fandom star" doesn't come across your wiki [14:23:55] [1/2] I mean, how do even parameters work in visual mode? Are all {{{x}}} just hidden or have some visual implementation? [14:23:55] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:%7bx [14:23:56] [2/2] Templates are at least somewhat technical so there should be no reason to use visual there anyway in most cases <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [14:23:57] im lucky the wiki im moving is obscure :3 [14:24:13] (Manually by changing "action" to "veaction" in the address) [14:24:28] if you mean using templates [14:24:31] we had one here, pizza tower wiki admins bullied him out lol [14:24:35]
