[00:10:35] Does anyone know how to report photos? Course I want to report a photo that a user uploaded that made me sick to my stomach! [00:26:28] I'd recommend contacting a local admin unless it's something urgent. You can find a list by searching for the page Special:ListAdmins. Otherwise, post in #cvt, but you will need to /auth to post links. [00:50:55] is it possible to force limited content width? ngl it fits well with the design i made [01:42:48] for tables? "|width=|" works wonders for cells, though its recommended to use percentages instead of just a number. [02:26:21] [1/2] Several changes made across my wiki from a certain time yesterday are not visible to users on certain platforms like mobile although it shows up for them on PC. If I log out of my account, the changes do not show up for me either although I'm the owner of the wiki. Clearing cache does not work (using ?action=purge). Did anyone ever experience this before? It's very weird and fru [02:26:21] [2/2] strating [02:39:01] Only way to access the revision is through the edit logs - what is happening??? [02:39:22] How can I add a new level of protection in my wiki? [02:43:11] how can i make all tables wikitable by default [03:38:10] How can I when it does? [03:38:26] If when the is so, then why would be then? [03:39:38] All of the wikis are having problems, they're either: giving 503s, timing out when trying to load, or taking 30 seconds to load a page with one sentence. [03:46:36] not happening to me so that's just a skill issue on your end [03:47:30] it was happening to me earlier [03:50:38] not happening to me so that's just a skill issue on your end [04:08:43] <7xing_unasozu> does miraheze have massprotect extension? [04:10:32] I'm not aware of a massprotect extension, but I do know there is one called ProtectSite [04:18:40] <7xing_unasozu> ok thaaanks im in need of that [04:55:37] Bumping this [05:00:16] Hey, I'm new to this softwear. And wiki-ing in general. Is there anyone who would mind walking me through the early stuff? Having the literature is helpful, but I need a guide... [05:25:09] Since it seems my question was overlooked, I'll post it again. I'm considering changing the license my wiki is under to one that is not in the stock list of licenses. Where would I file a request to have this license added to my wiki? [05:25:30] press the edit button to edit [05:27:26] This is the bible. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents [05:28:25] would recommend using visual editor over source editor as its easier [05:28:31] (you can enable it in wiki settings) [05:28:55] extensions to be specific [05:30:36] Yeah, I looked at that, thanks, but I was hoping for more guidance than "read the documentation". [05:31:14] Sounds useful. Looking into it. [05:32:29] how can i make all tables wikitable by default [05:33:29] oh i tried this importing 1 mb file and it didnt work [05:33:51] so no the limit does not appear to be 2mb [05:33:57] So importing directly has a even lower threshold? Damn [05:33:57] (its less) [05:41:40] where do i go to upload many files [05:41:44] images [05:47:49] Lord above... [05:48:40] I tried doing that. But it sent me to a wikimedia page. [05:51:49] Wait, no, I got it.... who puts a link next to a check mark? [05:59:24] by guidance do you mean like how to plan out category & file/name structure, goals of your wiki, page layout, etc? [06:00:48] I have the look I want planned, I just need some help doing the basic shit. [06:01:14] [1/2] There is no limit with import but it takes lots of CPU so it can fail. [06:01:14] [2/2] Import texts usually require manual import. [06:05:17] In boxed. [06:09:50] [1/2] its worth looking at other wikis that have been around for a while & know what theyre doing, for mine i looked at the genshin impact and pizza tower wikis for dpl templates & css styling respectively [06:09:50] [2/2] a lot of it is just trial and error and a lot and a lot of revisions [06:10:23] its good to have a manual of style & consistent naming structures at the beginning so you dont scramble to fix stuff later down the road [06:10:50] Yeah, no, that's all a good level above where I am. I'm on the full noob level. [06:13:21] When you start everything even as a newbie, you will need a solid plan first so your programmed stuffs don't become spaghetti [06:28:29] I ain't programing anything yet... [06:43:14] Unless you make a wiki without any looping parts, you will need really basic programming [06:43:50] A template is mostly for looping purposes [06:44:39] Tf is a looping part? [06:44:58] Do your wiki use infobox? [06:45:00] Like, I just learned how to successfully create a page. [06:45:53] I will be using info boxes. After I review the relevabt documentation. [06:46:13] yea, that part will need programming [06:49:40] My question, is unanswered... What is a looping part? [06:50:27] Well, it's like you use the same code for multiple pages [06:51:01] If you programmed an infobox correctly, you can use it for 100 or even 1k pages. [06:52:15] I'm not sure how big is your wiki but mine use the same template for ~500 pages. [06:52:51] That request can be filed via miraheze's phabricator instance, but it could take a bit before SRE can take a look... [06:53:10] My wiki has 1 page, of 5mins ago. [06:53:33] Granted, the first item on my todo list is setting up info boxes. [06:53:34] Thanks, I was kinda figuring Phabricator but I wasn't sure. [07:25:13] Good luck with working your page out [07:25:56] Also random thought I just had, can you partially bypass the 2 mb upload limit for XML files if you divide your page into several sections? [08:22:11] [1/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Infoboxes [08:22:12] [2/2] this is a good intro to infoboxes. The portable infobox extension is the most beginner-friendly way to make infoboxes. [08:33:18] Thanks. Its in my tbr. [09:45:35] But really a wiki can have many forms, so there is little to nothing in terms of universal "early stuff" we give, it depends entirely on the scope, size and/or community of your wiki [09:46:46] As long its readable I think its fine [09:47:07] I thought my wiki was too simple but I've seen even more simple ones and those worked out [09:53:06] Could be but usually wikis are really complex. [09:53:51] I'm also stuck with "technical debts" that may never fixable. [09:54:11] As I didn't plan everything before programming [09:55:26] It's usually easier to build a plan/templates when the wiki is still small and doesn't have a lot of articles. It may even be easier than planning in a void, since you get to see what works in practice and what doesn't [09:55:36] ^ [09:55:51] How organizer you are however depends on you and your community [09:56:25] If your wiki is a one-man project and there's tons of pages you might want a lot of automation to ease the manual work for example. It really depends [09:57:18] Sadly there are stuffs that can't be automated especially when the original contents aren't English and the wiki is mostly English [09:57:39] Yeah each case is different <:pupCoffeeMH:766487840694599711> [10:18:43] Due to the rise of sockpuppet accounts on numerous wikis, I believe that new users must give their email address while registering. The main problem with making email addresses optional is that it results in weak protection from sockpuppets and vandals. [10:23:35] I'm waiting for a response. [10:30:45] Maybe you should suggest this on the Community Noticeboard so it doesn't get lost on the Discord and irc [12:11:49] Said request can be actioned locally [13:09:15] Oh right [13:18:26] sorry for late reply but im talking about this [14:41:31] Did anyone ever have any trouble with mobile frontend extension? My wiki pages are updating on PC but users on mobile cannot view the updates unless I turn mobile frontend off and on again, which sometimes doesn't even work [14:42:00] I have a forum in support if you want to see more details [14:43:19] how do you change the text color in common.css [14:43:45] [1/6] also this used to work to change the background color but now it doesnt [14:43:45] [2/6] ```css [14:43:45] [3/6] body { [14:43:45] [4/6] background-color: #171517; [14:43:46] [5/6] } [14:43:46] [6/6] ``` [14:52:53] i saw waht you deleted.... you did it correctly... wait a few mins to see it applied... [14:54:37] i think i've observed a weird behaviour in my wiki [14:55:29] [1/2] on one of my pages, i am using the tabs extension to create several tabs [14:55:30] [2/2] one of the tabs has a link to another tab (pagename#tabname), and navigating to that tab via that link works fine but only for the first time [14:55:54] what about text color [14:56:06] i want to change it to white to be readable on the new background [14:57:34] its just color: value; [14:58:59] [1/2] color:{{{1}}}; background:{{{2}}} [14:58:59] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:%7b1 [14:58:59] [2/2] taken from my own template [14:59:07] the color is the text color, the background is the bg color [14:59:17] replace those with the values of the colors you want them to be [15:02:30] like this? [15:05:13] looks good. is this common.css? if it is you'll have to wait a bit after applying [15:05:27] yeah its common.css [15:06:52] i recall that a quick way to test your css out is to apply it to your own page's css [15:06:58] that one updates immediately [15:08:25] i had an image at the background and its not loading anymore [15:09:00] i meant the normally white part where the pages are [15:09:12] i wanted to change that to black without using dark mode [15:09:47] also the page text [15:09:53] didnt change to white [15:10:06] but this did [15:11:22] reset cache, instructions are on the top of the common.css page [15:11:34] i did many times [15:11:44] the image background is back [15:12:04] hm [15:12:11] sometimes it takes a while anyway [15:12:45] body might just also be the wrong selector/class, stuff that like varies depending on skin [15:12:54] what i meant is the normally white part changing to the color i want and the text color changing to white [15:13:01] for css best thing is to get comfy with the inspector tool in your browser [15:14:07] its been 15 minutes [15:14:11] since i last edited it [15:14:44] yeah "body" likely isn't what you're after [15:19:43] Hello how can I add new protection level. [15:27:44] hang on [15:27:48] why are there two body selectors [15:28:37] i fixed that but now im trying other text color options [15:28:41] this didnt work either [15:30:05] is it conflicting with the a selector in the common.css you showed [16:47:46] How come updates to my wiki after a certain time yesterday are not displaying on mobile for people but are displaying on PC fine? [17:09:07] if it's Mobile Frontend you can just disable it, skins like timeless or cosmos adapt fine to mobile on their own [17:09:58] I thought it was but after disabling, revisions still aren't appearing. It's like the mobile version of my wiki is broken and it's driving me mad lmao [17:12:22] to clarify, I'm talking disabling it permanently, not like disable/enable which you tried before in case you're talking about that [17:12:55] yeah I disabled it about an hour ago and am not turning it back on [17:13:40] I still saw it being on <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [17:15:58] Huh I could've sworn I kept it off, thanks for letting me know :D [17:16:17] The only thing is with it off it makes the mobile view look less neat but ig i can live with it [17:17:59] a skin like Timeless for example works well on mobile too, you can preview it by adding `?useskin=Timeless` at the end of the wiki url [17:22:14] Ty! [17:32:54] How exactly do I change the skin permanently on the wiki? [17:33:31] I found it nvm [17:33:34] additional settings, set the default skin on both desktop and mobile, then add the other skins to skipskins [17:57:00] I did that and every page is showing up as Timeless in incognito mode except the affected page which shows as this - what's this about? [18:40:51] There is a link to the Timeless version at the bottom [18:50:15] hm that page looks fine to me <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [18:55:39] Yeah, mobile is the problem [18:56:15] Does anyone know what to do? I used some css from another wiki to customize mine and now it's stuck like with the background from the other wiki's css no matter what I do except when I view it another browser or ingoctnito mode I tried clearing cache but that didn't work either [19:00:06] so what would happen if you make a new page with the same content? <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> maybe that page just broke somehow [19:01:05] <.wintertime.> Can I edit footer html somehow? I'm using vector 2022 if that relevant. [19:02:45] if you removed the image from the css it should update eventually [19:04:47] you can't edit wiki html directly no, can make js code though [19:05:04] It's also happening with the main page and another page but I can try if you think that'd help [19:08:59] it might help narrow down the issue at least [19:10:29] I'll have to try tomorrow as I'm working now. Just tired of this mobile issue and it seems it has now broken most of my pages; might just move or request an entirely new wiki under a different account [19:14:44] <.wintertime., replying to chimecrime> .org/wiki/Common.js Is this the correct path? Page is empty [19:16:01] <.wintertime.> nvm [19:16:05] <.wintertime.> I got it [19:16:11] <.wintertime.> MediaWiki:Common.js [19:16:13] might help to report it on [[Phabricator]] since it seems to be a technical issue [19:16:13] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Phabricator [19:16:13]

[19:25:49] how can i make all tables wikitable by default [19:28:10] if you generate a wikitable with visual/source editor they come with `class="wikitable"` already [19:28:55] well i was importing and the table wasnt wikitable [19:28:58] but nvm its fine [19:29:06] does miraheze have interactive maps [19:29:08] like fandom [19:29:12] and if so how do i make it work [19:29:51] theres extensions for real-life maps but for ones you make yourself like for a fictional/fantasy world, thats exclusive to fandom [19:30:02] search and replace might work? you can automate that with a bot/awb [19:34:30] damn [19:34:43] no its fine cuz theres only a few so its no big deal if i just do it manually [19:36:44] [1/2] there's something that can work similar, this thread might help you [19:36:44] [2/2] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1175857923700818052 [21:42:25] Hey guys. [21:42:43] Is it possible to automatically make one word on my Miraheze redirect to another page [21:42:55] without having to find every instance of that word and manually making it redirect? [21:44:11] Your qeustion doesn't really make sense. Redirecting is something an entire page does (as in it loads a different page when you go to it), not something a word on its own does [21:44:44] if I understand what you're asking, you can do that with a bot [21:44:56] if you, say, misspelled a page title in a link [21:45:12] but it was the same typo each time [21:45:20] you can correct all those instances with a bot [22:42:09] [1/2] I'll teach 10people to earn $50k within a week from the crypto market but you will pay me 10% of your profit when you receive it.

[23:26:25] [3/3] 1) Formatting issue- My text looks really squished together, and just to show a single paragraph break I have to press return three times. Do you know if there's a way to make it just. Look Better. Like, increase the space between lines, or [23:30:11] [1/5] Heyyyy [23:30:11] [2/5] I have two questions. [23:30:12] [3/5] 1) Formatting issue- My text looks really squished together, and just to show a single paragraph break I have to press return three times. Do you know if there's a way to make it just. Look Better. Like, increase the space between lines, maybe? [23:30:12] [4/5] 2) Do you know if there's a way to make a page show multiple images but in a way that looks neat? I think I can figure it out if someone can point me towards an example of it in someone else's wiki- To be clear, I'm thinking of several images that you can click or scroll through, but that take up the amount of space of one image. I don't think I'm explaining myself very well. [23:30:12] [5/5] I could probably use an image gallery instead if that is easier, but I don't know how to do that either. [23:33:51] [1/2] I dunno what's with the formatting issue but here's an example of an image gallery [23:33:52] [2/2] https://projectexonaut.miraheze.org/wiki/Halloween_Slam/Gallery [23:34:09] now I sized parts of this specially for the images I included
