[00:01:33] All I did was click preferecnes & I have tried it multiple times. [00:03:41] mk. i see you've started a support thread on this. there's no need to post in general if you're also posting in support. but support is the best place to seek solutions to a particular problem as they can get lost here in general. [00:04:22] I posted it here first [00:05:59] [1/2] not casting stones, just suggesting. [00:05:59] [2/2] preferences is working for me, so not sure why it's not for you. hopefully one of our gurus can help out. [00:06:32] should I provide a link to my wiki on the support page? [00:07:24] links always help, but preferences is a user thing, not a wiki thing [00:09:16] it might have something to do with my wiki's settings, I did add some features, aswell as made sure visual editor was set as default(even though visual editor has only ever worked 2-4 times since my wiki creation) [00:18:12] in that case, links probably help, plus maybe what changes you made. preferences is working for me on meta and the wiki i spend most of my time on, so your wiki settings, or maybe extensions, might be the issue. they should play well together, but they maybe they don't. anyway, hopefully one of our more tech-savvy gurus can help in your support thread. [00:25:51] I don't remember what changes I made. [01:58:23] images still not working ? [01:58:30] chilee [02:06:20] This was an Import gone wrong :(, I can't manually import due to the page being to big & the Import Request is Broken.😢 [02:06:43] also now my pages won't load at all [02:07:01] yup, so now i just put placeholders where i need my images to be [02:08:08] I can use images as long as theyre in the wikipedia commons, but otherwise I can't. Also I cant figure out how to make templates, I want the userbox template. [02:10:22] @furina.siyanse do you know how to make templates? [02:12:14] [1/2] Don't worry it's an issue that's been happening since Saturday see announcements they're fixing it soon I think. [02:12:15] [2/2] Currently the entire art archive from my own wiki is not visible. so I decided to focus on youtube videos embedded for now. [02:12:37] does anyone know how to make templates??? [02:13:46] I didn't really make them I just copied them from other places and learn my way by copying what was already done. [02:14:46] I tried to copy them from the Wikipedia but it just said: Template Loop Detected, & Everytime I try to import it gives me a 504 error. [02:16:24] I mainly copied from fandom looking inside of other wikis and and then taking what I needed. [02:17:08] do you have an userbox type template i could use?? Im trying to make a Discord Invite Template. [02:18:24] you want to show a embedded code with an actual visible server with people joined up ? [02:19:11] if you scroll back up somebody was asking for that just yesterday [02:19:31] I'll help the first 20 people interested in how to earn $50k within 72hours and hours but you will reimburse me 10% of your dividend when you collect it. Note: only interested people should send a friend request or send me a dm!👇 ask me HOW ! [02:20:43] oh great a money scam bot [02:22:08] @paulgamerboy360 see this post [02:22:14] ffs @zppix can you delete this?(sorry idk if mods should be pinged for these) [02:22:50] I was looking for something like this but with the left having the server logo, the center the name, & the right the link [02:23:36] Done [02:23:43] uhh i guess you could use that userbox and replace as necessary [02:23:48] we're working on the images rn, had to wait for void [02:23:54] but the link on the right? [02:24:02] thanks mate [02:24:23] but I cant copy the template(it says template loop detected) & importing is down. [02:24:57] ig you can open a thread and dump the template code? maybe there's some circular dependency in there [02:26:38] though is there a reason the discord embed linked by the reply here doesn't work for you [02:28:18] I tried it and it said there was errors on both JS and CSS, and I tried to save it anyways and it just showed the code in normal text. [02:41:48] can someone help [02:41:59] Could not create directory "mwstore://miraheze-swift/local-public/1/14". [02:42:11] i'm trying to upload a very small size pdf to my wiki [02:42:16] Yes Miraheze images & files are down [02:42:23] oh [02:42:35] So is importing [02:42:40] ok [02:42:44] how long its been down? [02:43:04] Over 24 hours [02:43:20] wow [02:43:45] And Phabricator is useless because of CAPTCHAs, we can't due them with our images [02:44:36] Yesterday the whole miraheze servers went down & we are still recovering from the outage. [02:44:42] i see. ok [03:09:02] i was putting the code in the wrong spot, but now i cant get it to display [03:10:44] also i cant get visual editior to work, I dont even have the editior drop down [03:14:06] did you disable this by accident? [03:14:30] can't really tell much without any more details [03:30:08] No I have that enabled, it only worked about 4 times on the day I started my wiki. [03:30:33] also why do all my pages look like this now? [03:30:54] many thanks to miraheze backend admin for propping the network back up within a day [03:30:59] hope the images come back soon [03:31:23] we only just noticed the outage now when some of our users realised certain charts were not appearing [03:31:28] they all have comment boxes & this weird bar [04:13:31] [1/2] Pretty sure that's one of the social extensions you enabled by accident, there. I don't recall where it is in the categories or what it's called, but I know one of the extensions' description explains exactly what you've got (page comments and the like stuff) [04:13:31] [2/2] (if someone who dabbles with extensions more than me could correct me that'd be appreciated) [04:39:45] ....is Miraheze misbahaving again? [04:40:17] images refuse to load [04:42:25] #announcements [04:42:37] my apologies [04:42:48] this sucks [04:43:22] I needed this time to edit 😭 [04:56:56] maybe I really need to think about some other way to host my wiki [05:07:37] [1/2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Commentbox [05:07:37] [2/2] this one i suppose [05:13:01] Has it really been 3 days now?? [05:14:46] 2 i suppose [05:21:15] Ok thanks, I was looking through all of them but I didn't see that one. [05:24:11] aye [06:54:59] I've passed along the miraheze fundraiser link to the community who uses our wiki in the hopes that y'all get some money out of it [09:54:49] tfw you slapped custom icons in css [09:55:10] guess where's edit button w/o safemode [10:01:41] @ap.png no worries lmfao [10:01:59] lol [10:30:37] image hosting server still dead? [10:30:55] I only see the commons comeback [10:31:03] <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [10:31:37] still dead [10:31:53] #announcements is where you'll hear about any change to the situation [10:39:22] Hello Respected all, we want to change our custom domain. What will the best way? Please help us. [10:55:22] just request on phab [11:01:16] how do install/use the cosmos skin [11:01:41] feels like i am missing something very obvious [11:02:11] I just hope the images can still be a recovered because rebuilding the archive would take a long time [11:04:08] he already made a support thread [11:04:43] While I don't think anything specifically been said this time, usually swift issues tend to mean nothing is actually lost, just that the "connection" so to say between the wiki's and the actual image files are not working [11:04:44] seems like my replies didn't quite satisfied him [11:05:32] first enable the skin in extensions menu, then set it as default in additional settings > styling [11:05:47] oh thanks [11:12:03] one problem though, setting my skin to cosmos in appearance doesnt work, it just resets back to vector [11:12:30] so i can only see the skin if i add `&useskin=cosmos` to the url [11:12:45] appearance in your user settings? [11:12:49] yes [11:13:12] are you sure you're saving changes? [11:13:37] yep [11:13:42] and it just sets it back every time [11:13:54] maybe cache [11:14:16] and you set cosmos as default for wiki itself? [11:14:37] i have [11:14:38] although user preferences should override it [11:15:11] listed as the default here too [11:18:07] maybe just waiting a bit will make a difference [11:21:03] The way it is greyed out in that SS, makes me wonder, if you at some point might have set a global preference? Ie. a farm wide preference, in which case you either need to remove that, or put an override on that specific wiki [11:21:28] wait I may have, hold on [11:21:54] oh [11:21:58] yep cry [11:22:31] okay thank you [13:00:25] where can i get the templatestyles extension for my wiki? [13:04:36] it's in there [13:06:28] parser hooks tab, you can try to scroll for it [13:08:05] it's under a different name in vietnamese, found it [13:08:08] thanks! [13:13:46] idk why i haven't asked this yet but [13:13:57] does anyone know a bunch of wikis that are really good to learn from design-wise [13:14:58] skin modification or main page & templates? [13:17:48] skin moficiations [13:17:53] cool CSS and JS stuff [13:18:07] design layout would also be cool to check out [13:18:54] i've got a little something, but there's still a lot to desire [13:19:19] it's also pretty much just a copy of this [13:23:32] I can't tell if it's possible to learn, but just look at their Common/Vector.css and nick some snippets, while also poking web tools by yourself [13:24:35] dang the server is down [13:25:31] i was wondering if anyone had any particular wikis they wanted to highlight as good examples tho [13:28:05] maybe i should take heavy inspiration from the actual topic itself too [13:28:39] I could suggest the ones I worked on, but I'm trying to keep things simple [13:28:59] in case of Vector [13:29:48] the fanciest I've done so far is Vector on Pizza Tower Wiki, further modified by SKL, but since file server is down, everything looks broken [13:30:21] oh yeah true [13:30:30] i guess i'll just look at non-Miraheze wikis for now then [13:30:43] [1/2] this one has some cool stuff going on with CSS [13:30:43] [2/2] https://drawntolife.wiki/en/Main_Page [13:31:03] there's a chance that indie wiki change something in mediawiki itself [13:31:07] i like the use of `image-bg` or whatever it is [13:31:31] what's indie wiki? [13:31:44] self-hosted aka independent wikis [13:31:50] stand alone sites [13:32:04] not hosted on farms like Mira, gg, fandom, etc [13:32:24] farms lol [13:32:35] btw, is there a way to note make this say "Miraheze" [13:33:05] it's not a big deal, but it does stand out [13:33:50] you can request your wiki to point to a domain that you own/buy if you don't want the ".miraheze.org" subdomain [13:33:58] agree, never thought about it tho [13:34:21] no, meaning here the one above URL [13:34:34] my import request got cancelled due to the issues with file storage, do i make a new request after it's fixed? [13:35:32] yeah, wait until the issue is solved [13:35:38] before trying anything like that [14:03:25] The main issue with a general "example" for design, is that what is a good design, is heavily dependant on what a specific wiki covers [15:06:16] How do I make the discord widget show my server? [15:12:00] I put my server ID in but it just displays this: [15:46:30] 2+ days & images till not working :droidr [15:48:53] Hi! So I'm quite new to all this. I recently made a new wiki but I'm unable to upload any images. Says I don't have permission. I've bureaucrat access and have ticked the permission boxes so I'm not sure what's the issue? Is this something to with the ongoing image problems? [15:49:16] images are down [15:49:25] or sth like that [15:49:29] Uploading is down, Images are back up [15:49:34] template editing is also not working rn [15:49:43] they not showing 4 me so [15:49:45] My template editing is working [15:49:52] mine throws error 500 when i save [15:50:07] oh too bad, have you tried to clear the cache [15:50:26] Oh ok. Thanks for answering, I thought it was something on my end. [15:50:49] also importing from XML is working again. [15:51:05] still [15:51:24] probably since it's like 1500 lines of code [15:52:26] If the same template exists on wikipedia you could import it by xml data [15:53:24] it only exists on japanese wikipedia, i've already translated the entire thing manually [15:54:22] oh, i am importing all my templates & I have to manually change all the link prefixes. [15:57:00] @ryuu_ou are you using visual editor, because im using source editor(visual wont work on my wiki), if not you could try that. [15:57:15] am already using source editor [15:59:36] oh [16:03:59] Can someone tell me how to make this look like wikipedia's: [16:04:12] Ignore the red links [16:04:29] i would say look at ours but the images are down it kind of ruins things... worldtriggerwiki(dot)com regardless [16:07:22] yeah our images definitely aren't back.... [16:09:17] Oh thats to bad mine are. [16:10:11] at least that gives me hope they might be back soon 😭 [16:10:33] its an anime wiki and theres a loooot of gallery stuff and i use it for art reference [16:11:14] the thing that is annoying is that I cant upload new ones unless it is part of a page import. [16:12:04] cache i think [16:12:20] my main page has an image that continued to appear for a bit [16:12:25] nope i have never used this computer [16:12:26] when i cleared cache it stopped appearing [16:12:50] dk then, are they commons images? [16:13:11] some are commons some are Miraheze & some are my Wiki's [16:13:37] are they investigating the image thing does anyone know whats wrong [16:14:21] they are investigating it [16:14:24] IDK, but it sure is taking along time and they say there is no ETA, like how do they not have an ETA, do they not know whats wrong. [16:15:04] iirc they have very few people who can so its bound to take time [16:15:10] X_X [16:15:16] that suuucks [16:16:27] [1/2] starting to feel like its on the backburner for the admins or something not gonna lie... [16:16:28] [2/2] which i get that they're volunteers but like it's been days with no updates and no eta... i would appreciate a little assurance that some progress is being made [16:22:15]
