[01:41:54] Quick question: Is there any way to have "private" or "hidden" pages on a public wiki? As in pages for people with x level of permissions are only able to view/edit those pages while the rest of the wiki is public to be seen/edited? [01:45:58] Is this my fault or Miraheze's error, and can I do anything to fix? [02:03:26] [1/2] probably need to know more about why it happened or if it is persistent to answer your question, tbh. [02:03:27] [2/2] the screenshot doesn't really tell us anything [02:05:56] My bad. Attempting to access additional settings in ManageWiki leads to this error [02:05:58] unsure of cause [02:09:17] i see you've got a thread in support. i hope tech gurus will be able to help resolve the issue. [04:01:48] You can restrict specific pages from edits to only certain groups, but not viewing [04:16:16] still Database error when I attempt to make a backup or dump from the wiki [07:59:41] anyone noticed if `#ifexist` got more borked after mw update? [08:21:39] because I've been updating templates, which use `#ifexist` inside `#if`, w/ file names, and I got new wacky links in WantedPages [08:48:28] hi all, sorry for asking again, does anyone know how long an image dump request usually takes? im totally fine being patient but my users... arent... as patient and i cant move forward in migration until our images are ported over, so just wondering if anyone has any experience of a timeframe? [08:49:00] i put a request into phabricator a week ago and that sounds about right of a wait, im just not sure if i needed to let someone know haha [10:17:11] anyone tried [[mw:Extension:Description2]]? [10:17:11] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Description2 [10:17:12]

[11:15:18] it works but appears to be very picky on what paragraph to use [11:16:09] I guess if the page has only infobox and a paragraph in the beginning, it will be alright [11:16:40] w/ my very weird infoboxes it skips to the second paragraph lol [11:20:57] trying to make wikiseo + textextracts work on a wiki, where I used to add wikiseo descriptions manually [11:21:21] because on newer wiki it works alright [11:22:38] image imports are handled by SRE members and we are currently having a shortage of them, so bear w/ us [11:24:00] no worries at all! thank you all for your hard work, i just wanted to be sure i wasnt missing anything haha [11:25:05] im very patient but our wikis userbase is a lot of younger teens so as long as i can say ive done what i can thats totally fine with me [11:38:27] You can manually pass the snippet to Description2 with the parser tag, but yeah it's not great. [11:39:16] yeaaah, I just got really tired of manually adding description [11:41:38] first paragraph is a part of my table infoboxes, so if there was a way to render provided in the template parameter as plain and pass it as description, it would be easiest for my case [11:44:16] if textextract won't work I'll try a tweak which might satisfy description2, but otherwise - idk [12:34:07] [1/2] I've been following this tutorial to have my wiki show up on Google however I've tried a few times (did wait for the times specified) and I keep getting the error, so I wonder if I did a step wrong or I should just continue trying every hour [12:34:07] [2/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:NotAracham/WikiSEO_-_Improving_Search_Ranking [12:35:10] Try purging cache on the main page [12:36:35] [1/2] Alright, I'll try that once I have my laptop [12:36:35] [2/2] I have checked the source code and the meta tag does show up [12:38:40] it might take a whole day for google to recognize meta tag [12:38:52] so just keep trying, yeah [12:39:45] Alrighty, thank you ^^ [12:50:00] anyone know what causes `Script error: The function "infoboxTemplate" does not exist.`? [12:50:02] randomly [12:55:55] what kind of infoboxes your wiki is using? [12:56:53] infobox officeholder [12:57:18] i have a few with it especially recently like my infobox country and military conflict etc work [12:57:29] but my character/person/officeholder all have this issue [12:58:12] nope [12:58:21] did you imported them from Wikipedia? [12:58:31] yes [12:58:47] made sure i didnt mess any extra imports either [13:17:00] well, it didn't work [16:42:18] I have a question for something in advance [16:42:36] But can one transfer ownership of a wiki on Miraheze? [16:44:04] As I plan on porting another wiki from Fandom in the next few days, but I want to make sure I transfer it to another individual who wanted to take it up. [16:45:24] Fixed with https://github.com/miraheze/ManageWiki/pull/436 [16:50:25] yes, you can make another user an admin/bureaucrat [16:50:46] there's no "ownership" over a wiki, technically [16:50:58] just these highest user roles [16:51:03] I know how to make another user admin [18:04:17] Where do I find the database of a wiki again? [18:04:49] core settings [18:05:59] Well it's a bit odd since there isn't much there [18:06:13] Is the database cluster it? [18:06:55] I can't remember how I did it last time [18:06:59] no, it's the first thing [18:07:03] Database name [20:43:34] miraheze being slow rn [20:43:48] wait nvm [20:43:51] its a me issue <:droidcry:1126190447178567681> [21:05:21] Anyone happen to be familiar with the translation extension? I think it's clashing with one of our templates in the translated version of pages [21:07:03] Is it the same translation extension as the one on Wikipedia? [21:20:40] I think? It's the one that comes with miraheze, this one: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate [21:33:07] Why is the checkbox for PollNY extension grayed out? I have social profile installed. Do I need to be a wiki owner to do it? [21:33:48] I can install other extensions [22:12:55] Bit of a weird question but is there a way to remove talk pages out of your wiki? [22:13:07] Since mine is personal I don't see why a talk page would be necessary for everything [22:20:29] [1/2] talk pages are like core parts of mediawiki [22:20:29] [2/2] you can restrict who can edit them and hide links/buttons via CSS [22:21:03] hiding buttons works for me [22:21:14] as in the css of the wiki? [22:21:27] yeah [22:22:17] well in any way im gonna use the talk pages for something else instead of help [22:22:31] like this [22:22:50] namespaces have id numbers [22:23:49] [1/3] articles are in main namespace, its number is 0 [22:23:49] [2/3] category is 14 [22:23:50] [3/3] and so on [22:24:32] [[Help:Namespaces#Localisation]] [22:24:32] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces#Localisation [22:24:33]

[22:24:49] [[mw:Help:Namespaces#Localisation]] [22:24:49] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces#Localisation [22:24:51]

[22:25:23] it says that this page doesn't exist [22:25:30] it was wrong link [22:25:41] aah ok [22:26:26] so if the talk page is 1 what is that 3002 for [22:27:50] I'm talking about hiding the "Discussion" button, which is closest thing you'll get to "disabling" talk pages [22:28:07] 3002 is a number of custom namespace I made on my wiki [22:28:22] ohhh [22:28:50] I created an imitation of forum space, which are like talk pages by themselves, so I had to hide the real talk pages lol [22:29:36] on that page, next section is eactly on CSS [22:29:43] so i replaced the 3002 with a 1 in the common.css page and the discussion button is still there [22:29:55] not 1 [22:29:58] 0 [22:30:10] ooooh [22:30:19] 1 is a namespace of talk page, which is attached to 0 [22:30:29] you are hiding the button on the main thing [22:33:07] well anyways ill ignore the discussion button for now [22:33:56] what i wanna know is how do you centralize infobox headers/titles bc they're normally left-aligned [23:00:12] is there a way i can get four images in a gallery like this? [23:00:32] two on top & and two on the bottom [23:35:30] nvm i figured it out w/ the multiple images template [23:42:30] Does Miraheze support Discord embed widgets?
