[04:05:12] [04:05:18] [1/2] try these classes [04:05:18] [2/2] `#mw-site-navigation .sidebar-chunk, #mw-related-navigation .sidebar-chunk` [04:05:42] to `MediaWiki:Timeless` page they go [04:06:02] Sweet, thank you. I'll give this a whirl [04:06:22] And thank you for responding too [04:06:42] I knew where to put it I was just having trouble getting the code itself down [04:07:01] <.labster> No problem, Legroom has a bit more experience answering for MW questions. [04:07:28] <.labster> Do you know how to use the dev tools to preview CSS? [04:09:02] <.labster> That's how I work when I'm making changes, then paste the working code onto the wiki. [04:09:09] Yes I do. I've used that a lot for my wiki, but I was having trouble with that specific navigation box [04:09:53] The tool wouldn't quite place me on the background, it would just get me the text which was confusing to navigate [04:11:00] <.labster> most likely it will be `{ background: radial-gradient( #color, #color ); }` but you might want to try `transparent` for the outer color if it's intended to match your background [04:11:02] [1/2] if you use Firefox, there's styling tab, I use more often now [04:11:02] [2/2] on the left side click on + button to add new stylesheet and type new code w/ id/classes in there [04:13:04] Noted, thank you [04:13:11] [1/2] This tab right?

I'll give this a shot soon then [04:14:12] Oh yeah also this worked so thank you very much!

Thank you! [05:38:15] I think I should be able to manage the other link color stuff from here [05:41:45] I suggest to check some HTML/CSS basics, like HTML tags in this case [05:42:28] `` is a link tag, so to target links in some element you you add `a` after class/id [05:43:59] in element inspector part of web tools you can see that too [05:44:52] like, you clicked on element, there's part w/ CSS on the right, which can be scrolled to see inherited styles [05:46:38] [1/3] turns out i own a ghost wiki [05:46:38] [2/3] `spacedbwiki` [[mh:spacedb]] [05:46:38] https://mh.wikipedia.org/wiki/spacedb [05:46:39] [3/3] it shows up on my centralauth but the wiki says it doesnt exist [05:46:39]

[11:33:07] . [11:33:46] got a question? [13:37:00] another week, another logout [13:37:42] Huh [13:37:50] This is a bit of given, for some reason. People log in and the only thing they ask for is whether they can ask for help. They never actually ask their question, so they never get helped. [13:38:16] It's like calling tech support, and when the agent asks, "How may I help you?", you simply say, "Can I ask a question?" [13:38:26] "No, this is the pizza parlour. Order a pizza or hang up." [13:41:17] i think Legroom might be referring to an ongoing issue of users (such as himself) being randomly logged out of miraheze [13:45:24] yeah, I got logged out of Meta xd [13:46:19] It happens to me almost every time I close my browser even if I tick the keep me logged in checkbox [13:46:28] but also yeah, kinda silly people drop off IRC like this [13:48:37] [1/2] Not to interrupt the topic, but uhh [13:48:38] [2/2] Can I somehow have an image be displayed in a page without it being contained inside `pre`? It's getting in the way of some styling that I'm doing [13:49:39] you mean, you insert image via `[[File:...]]` syntax and it has white border around it? [13:49:39] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/File:... [13:50:27] [1/2] it's created by `thumb` parameter, but is needed to display captions [13:50:27] [2/2] you can modify its CSS to make container transparent [13:51:37] Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about [13:51:42] I'll try that, thank you [13:51:54] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1166842122230575186 [13:52:08] ^ here's ready code [14:24:59] [1/5] Howdy all! [14:24:59] [2/5] I'm very new to using MediaWiki and CSS and would like some help implementing a template on my wiki's main page (mythos.miraheze). I want to add a template that displays a set of icons which link to different categories on the wiki. To accomplish this, I went to the Zelda Wiki on Fandom (zelda.fandom) and copied the code for two templates that are used there to achieve exactly that, [14:24:59] [3/5] those being Template:Main Page Category and Template:Main Page Categories. [14:24:59] [4/5] The version implemented on my wiki works, but it looks much different (read: worse) than the version on the Zelda Wiki despite using the same source code, so I'm not sure what to change to achieve a more similar outcome. [14:25:00] [5/5] To be precise on the differences, their version pastes the text to the right of the images on a rectangular strip while mine uses plain text beneath the images. The heading on mine also doesn't appear for some reason. [14:32:56] Hm, can you send a screenshot? [14:33:58] [1/3] Mine VS the Zelda Wiki's: [14:33:58] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1190301692294594680/image.png?ex=65a14dd6&is=658ed8d6&hm=f9d68c63a4582b9b2bfd54382ad3cf5ec23402bf33c8139ac8e9348f23da1371& [14:33:59] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1190301692529496164/image.png?ex=65a14dd6&is=658ed8d6&hm=f5adc5764c93856eb20780beea335098752c1bd50654f0c007ede6fa3c4bfa57& [14:34:17] well, gotta be styling (CSS) [14:36:17] Your missing the CSS [14:36:44] How do I copy that over? [14:39:13] depends on where zelda wiki keeps it for this template [14:39:23] (I'm in a bus sorry) [14:56:45] [1/3] they keep it at common.css, look for the section at [14:56:45] [2/3] ´´´/ [[Template:Main Page Categories]] /´´´ [14:56:45] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Main_Page_Categories [14:56:46] [3/3] (common.css is the first place to look, then just search for the css classes that your template uses) [14:56:47]

[14:57:31] Ah, thank you [14:59:41] That worked perfectly! The heading still doesn't display but I can just put that on the main page directly rather than including it in the template like ZW does. [14:59:52] Thanks very much for the help. [15:01:24] No worries maye [17:53:20] anyone know if theres any way to hide parts of logs? a user forgot to log in and they want their ip hidden [17:55:30] Yes, with revision deletion. Admins have the ability to hide edits and logs. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:RevisionDelete [18:03:31] You can request a steward to oversight it, hiding it from anyone except stewards, aka people who sign a legal non disclosure agreement [18:04:26] Here, https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Suppression [18:04:49] Email `stewards[at]miraheze[dot]org` [18:05:09] k6ka actually had what i was looking for, thank u both tho (: [18:06:00] no worries [18:24:27] how do i add admins to my miraheize wikki? [18:24:50] Special:UserRights/(username), tick the "sysop" box [18:32:10] Is WikiAuthBot broken? [18:34:12] Is WikiAuthBot broken? I keep authenticating but it doesn't give me a role.. [18:37:37] odd [18:39:54] It's named WikiNapBot for a reason, it sometimes takes a nap [19:03:00] So true [19:03:33] Also why does MediaWiki engineer have no icon? Should make it a wrench or a gear [19:06:49] i cant find that, all i see is "user rights" under "special pages" [19:07:35] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1190370549780729856/image.png?ex=65a18df7&is=658f18f7&hm=de156ad69a2e4f2834ab86336be161c2fa18ad777e1306cd56f2f6f0d8afa257& [19:08:06] Click that and type the username of the user you want to promote in the box that appears [19:08:34] ooh [19:08:40] do i use the @ ? [19:08:59] It used to but then it got removed back when I merged the MediaWiki Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer role into one and never got restored when they got split back [19:09:11] I think the SRE role still has a tool icon iirc? [19:09:29] Which wiki are you trying this on? [19:09:52] [1/2] it does [19:09:53] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1190371123637010552/Screenshot_20231229-130933.png?ex=65a18e7f&is=658f197f&hm=00e377be2e3e149a07e8476a1e85b643ca1bcd7fbec146487a34da0577671340& [19:14:54] Wait it merged? [19:15:29] ngl kinda hate default emojs, If I made yall custom miraheze/mediawiki themed icons would yall use them? [19:18:33] The Discord roles, yes [19:19:14] Most likely. We don't have a lot of designers on board so that's why we just use the default emojis [19:21:01] Im thinking bout design [19:21:27] either MW engin or SRR prob the red MediaWiki flower in the hold of a wrench 🔧 [19:21:34] or on top of a bolt [19:22:20] for mods I like the scale, maybe put the Mira logo on one end [19:23:13] Stewarda maybe a recolored miraheze logo [19:55:00] they shouldn't be complicated for such small size [20:00:12] yeah [20:00:40] can’t really go wrong with different colored Miraheze logos [20:01:57] [1/2] something like [20:01:58] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1190384232653139968/image.png?ex=65a19ab5&is=658f25b5&hm=3e490e5d4570eb825bb140f4fedc0c6f6636b13769392d2881f932a505ea30ae& [21:22:40] its mirah-easy!

[21:31:55] <.labster> The White Tree of Gondor, obviously [21:32:14] Gondor..? [21:32:38] <.labster> https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Gondor (not one of ours, but pretty good wiki) [21:33:36] for discord admins do the all seeing eye lmao [21:35:29] @.labster that's cool [21:35:44] we could also stick with vector style, I personally like the theme of having role icons being the same color as the role [21:35:49] <.labster> I have an .svg version as well. [21:35:54] . [21:36:01] based as FUCK [21:36:18] we need a miraheze Graphics committee [21:36:53] I have a gcse in DT [21:37:01] ? [21:37:14] <.labster> those are letters in the latin alphabet, i believe [21:37:17] What we now call graphics in the UK [21:37:58] Because some idiot scrapped graphics, textiles & resistant materials [21:38:03] Does anyone know how I can quickly delete all categories on my wiki? [21:38:27] Deleting as in the page or removing all pages from it? [21:38:56] I’d recommend [[wp:AWB]] [21:38:56] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/wp:AWB [21:38:57]

[21:39:08] I fucking hate the bot emoji [21:39:09] I don’t understand your question but all pages which are listed as Category: [21:39:34] Categorys exist as long as pages are in them [21:39:49] But the content of the category page is seperaye [21:40:41] I currently have a plan to delete all man-made content on my wiki as a fresh slate (it is currently just me and one other person) [21:41:46] When I go onto a Category page and press delete, all pages which have that category the category link turns red, my plan is to delete all categories and then just delete the articles [21:42:40]
