[00:45:05] First time I do this in my life [00:45:14] But i did my part, I donated [00:46:37] https://tenor.com/view/snake-mgs-mgs3-metal-gear-solid-che-gif-793405683592836141 [00:48:59] [1/3] I'll help the first 20 people interested in how to earn $100k within 72hours 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! asking  me HOW! Or contact via WhatsApp, [00:48:59] [2/3] 👇 [00:48:59] [3/3] +1 (508) 214‑8755 [01:28:08] pluh [01:58:22] [1/3] does anyone know what this is? got this email and it just led to the public test wiki to this page [01:58:22] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194097804482707466/image.png?ex=65af1d3d&is=659ca83d&hm=48fb228ad3c1a21315c4ca3a8575086685dcf6605b0c232be17078f29e5037c4& [01:58:22] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194097804721791036/image.png?ex=65af1d3d&is=659ca83d&hm=b150d8f98505a0333ddc4e69795a4900bcb5eefa03525bb537479337ab5d6007& [02:23:17] every time i try to upload an image i get an error [02:23:23] just started like a couple minutes ago [02:23:35] well i've had this sparesly over some time but it's happening a lot more now [02:23:57] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194104241820799038/image.png?ex=65af233c&is=659cae3c&hm=f82371dbb7c9110eee0395352a48cec4b0e973382dd6aabff45b2f24e9158bb1& [02:27:55] Yes, the file system is very wonky right now. Sorry about that. [02:45:59] 👍 [02:51:51] Is there an extension similar to imagemap that lets you hover over specific regions of an image and display things by the mouse cursor like images? [03:22:01] I donated today too <:nannysalutepenny:1145892076408537239> [03:38:30] [1/2] yeah, w/ this you have an og wiki and editors can only translate it [03:38:31] [2/2] but separate different lang wikis is a case not only w/ Fandom but Wikipedia itself, they are run by different communities [04:29:52] fandom? [06:39:53] [1/2] huh [06:39:53] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194168652266750042/image.png?ex=65af5f39&is=659cea39&hm=c94da837533c06c47f75e132f464077634bc282b185134ec54325c6069efe770& [07:02:37] [1/2] are non-stewards allowed to make such replies? [07:02:37] [2/2] [07:14:26] If its truly older than 90 days it is technically an accurate response (IIRC anyway), I can't speak to whether it is something that is really a good idea or allowed to do though... [07:38:06] While the intention was good, we're going to have a whole slew of new stewards before too much longer. Better to be left for them in my view. [08:00:07] One thing to note is some non-public activity can generate CheckUser data [11:28:12] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194241207824564234/image.png?ex=65afa2cb&is=659d2dcb&hm=5f47aba12bd4d0582e4168b640de433275c6a6a9eebdf99ad20689e6f0a9ef6b& [11:28:53] i think the file servers are having a hiccup [11:56:01] yeah, unfortunately until we migrate to the new servers swift is acting up [12:23:52] wdym? what scripts? [12:24:03] no [13:36:14] Is this status page relevant? https://status.miraheze.wiki/ I think it says there is less than half a minute of outage per day on average, but reading this discord throughout December paints a more grounded picture. Does this not track the types of disturbances that are reported here? I need some help interpreting it. [13:41:08] Multiversion support. [13:49:51] that's a fault. we should be auto mapping it tbh [13:50:41] I wouldn't rely on that tbh. The automatic detection of an outage is not used in our monitoring. [13:51:18] https://grafana.miraheze.org/d/pfjAbhf7k/mediawiki-slos?orgId=1&viewPanel=22 is probably the best [13:53:04] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194277666874990653/Screenshot_2024-01-09_at_13.53.00.png?ex=65afc4c0&is=659d4fc0&hm=6f8c33bd67b62e1230a07013e89c157c2ee2310a1af9154a790b6a64662251a1& [13:53:25] which looking at the figure for MediaWiki availability is about 5m-6m down a day [13:57:04] Thanks! Is this time spent with no errors since last check? How is available defined? [13:57:36] that is based on nginx status codes i think [13:58:15] 1 - sum(log_nginx_status_code_doc_count{status_code=~\"50[024]\"}) / sum( log_nginx_hits ) [13:58:37] so % of requests that didn't return a 502/4 [13:59:57] So when mediawiki can serve the page, but for example the images can't be loaded, that's available, but when editing gives a server error, but the wiki readable that's unavailable. Did I get that right? [14:00:30] yes [14:00:46] Then the % is technically % of requests, and the times there are just an illustration [14:00:51] swift being down wouldn't be counted against mediawiki availability [14:01:02] yes, the timings are my illsutration [14:01:45] What does swift do? 😅 [14:01:55] Swift is what serves images [14:04:17] Hopefully once we move infra, we'll be able to resume SLOs [14:04:27] can't really achieve that when our infra is on its last leg [14:07:33] Is it a reverse proxy server written in swift? I'm not getting much from google [14:07:55] Search for OpenStack Swift [14:13:07] S3 💗💗 [14:13:43] Thank you, this was very helpful [14:41:52] if it weren't so costly for our use case \:( [14:58:30] Agent, aren't you a steward? [15:03:13] did WT never look into R2? [15:03:42] we did [15:04:17] it has good pricing, we used it up until November but also moved to Swift as file uploads went up [15:04:23] I am, technically [15:04:27] Need something? [15:05:36] Nah [15:07:05] was it as extensive as S3? I know it only supports a subset of the S3 features [15:12:05] It was fine for the most part. If you just need basic file storage then it was enough but yeah, it was missing a few features which I found useful on AWS like getting the size of a folder prefix. The `aws` cli tool was also very weird to work with on R2 as it sometimes returns nonsensical results if you don't modify it to contour to R2 [15:19:25] I might be leaving a lot of servers. A teacher accessed my phone without my consent, viewing parts of the servers I'm in's messages through notifications on the lock screen. I was falsely accused of using my phone in class. [15:19:38] I'm not sure if this server was present but one was and I left kt [15:21:07] Is mobile view dead?? Or what’s going on? [15:45:57] i saw the Fundraiser page [15:46:18] i would like to donate via discord serversubscriptions [15:46:48] please set? [15:48:52] i hate paypal [15:49:35] and dont sure how to use github [15:50:42] what about Ko-Fi? [15:51:42] @orduin would have to enable server subscriptions [15:51:54] but the fee structure is interesting [15:52:11] they take 10% off versus other platforms which take 2-3% [15:56:38] damn [16:04:07] Ko-Fi is another provided alternative for the fundraiser that has non-paypal options and a limited fee structure. Hopefully we can find something that'll meet your needs in the meantime, and either way we appreciate the generosity~! [16:06:48] That appreciation goes to everyone else who's donated so far, too! We're already getting close to one of our internal milestones for this fundraiser, so excited for what this will unlock for quality of service going forward. [16:18:57] i need someone big brain for this: [16:19:19] what is a good name for a namespace that documents files from a game, but isn't called `File` (for obvious reasons) [16:19:56] for example, a page in this namespace might be called `File:MainModeParam.bin.xfbin` (except with a differenct namespace than File) [16:20:34] Nothing. 😐 [16:22:09] Still WantedPages are empty. [16:22:27] asset, data, gamefile, gamedoc, gamedata, -> that the type of vibe? [16:22:45] that is the type of vibe <:Smugkeicho:766723565193265194> [16:23:01] `GameFile` might just be the best option [16:23:25] also, is there a setting to not make the search case-sensitive [16:24:13] [1/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194315703721934869/image.png?ex=65afe82d&is=659d732d&hm=688d425b3d8766e582bfb7eb5d71b815c88856948c81e70b362fce9dcba15814& [16:24:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194315704086822992/image.png?ex=65afe82d&is=659d732d&hm=798e627c48f47338946601b175cf89fd0d16920934fc1f810ce798a474115937& [16:28:08] Not until elasticsearch/cirrussearch becomes a thing for MH, which may or may not end up happening post-merger [16:29:14] (It supports case-insensitive searching unlike OpenSearch, but is much more expensive to operate) [16:30:12] TitleKey extension lets you have case-insensitive search [16:30:57] cirrussearch is actually being considered? [16:31:19] I'll defer to SRE on that one. We have it available on WT for wikis that meet certain criteria [16:32:14] This is good to know! I haven't used this extension before previously, but if it allows case-insensitive title search that really does solve most use cases right there. [16:33:57] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194318152381780099/image.png?ex=65afea74&is=659d7574&hm=efb9126440f907363914abb4c48c299d63cf61e9661be8d81756c7464d57735e& [16:34:12] "The TitleKey extension provides a case-insensitive page title prefix search." [16:34:20] prefix? [16:34:34] notaracham: huh, thought that cirrussearch was chiefly a wikiforge feature [16:34:41] nice to see, though [16:35:06] we do indeed want to push CirrusSearch on Miraheze in the near future [16:35:09] Yeah, WT inclusion criteria was fairly strict, you were a candidate for WF anyway if you qualified. 🙂 [16:35:22] CirrusSearch is pretty significant to have [16:35:25] for the convenience it brings [16:35:48] especially if you're already used to having it on other wikis [16:36:18] with the issues with cargo (i believe thats the extension), then it will need a lot of work to get performance to be decent [16:36:45] actually not sure of those two are comparable, ignore [16:37:24] [1/2] oh cool [16:37:24] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194319022116839574/image.png?ex=65afeb44&is=659d7644&hm=3b4920ed59e492a2648e4ab1e700f8043932673b170d8d6ee2c672c107c99c6a& [16:37:26] that just works [16:37:52] well now i think would be a good time for me to fully rejoin the project once again [16:37:53] Any of the complex data extensions all have their own sets of woes and unique support quirks, for sure. [16:38:08] well it kinda works [16:38:19] i can't tell if it's not working for some things because it's indexing or something [16:38:59] seems to be slowly getting better at working though [16:39:11] is there any point of CirrusSearch then? [16:39:12] if this just works [16:40:32] ah a new fundraiser it seems [16:41:58] CirrusSearch has some other advantages for other use cases [16:42:16] my biggest worry at this point is just storage. We might need an additional volume just for CirrusSearch [16:42:20] Yeah, unfortunately necessary given the scope of what we're trying to do. Hardware migration will reduce MH annual operating costs by nearly half and get on to modern-ish hardware appropriately scoped to task... but there's an up-front cost to do so. [16:42:28] tfw only 0.0083% of users donate [16:42:42] when i'm famous and rich, i'll be able to donate lots of money <:TsudaHappy:898649999267729498> [16:43:15] If every wiki donated just $1, we would be done immediately [16:44:33] is that including inactive wikis though [16:44:51] Alright, if every active wiki donated 2 dollars. 😄 [16:45:09] (jokes, inactivity is bad, but not that bad) [16:45:25] oh really [16:45:33] i thought more than like 70% would be inactive [16:45:39] just because of people starting stuff and abandoning it [16:46:07] My geuss would be that it is so much a ballpark number, that it doesn't really matter if inactive wiki's are included or not in that figure? [16:46:58] Agent does math these things out with actual numbers, can confirm, but there is a bit of preference for round numbers. [16:47:26] It's not great, but it is below 70% [16:47:40] surprising and cool [16:48:02] per CreateWiki, there's 5181 active wikis [16:48:06] lemme check the donation process rq [16:48:08] If you want to calculate without feel free to check out https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Reception123/temp_stats [16:48:15] so yes, if every wiki donated $2 \:P [16:48:34] you can donate via github? [16:48:36] yes [16:48:41] I feel like people nowadays rarely use on wiki search tho [16:48:53] Both recurring and one time is available 🙂 [16:48:55] Github sponsors is about the best of the options, zero-fee and immediate delivery [16:49:10] [1/2] aha [16:49:10] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194321983211573391/image.png?ex=65afee06&is=659d7906&hm=c7a5b583819df668cda458daa1a8ef872b405ba9d2a9ac937948803e3abfb69a& [16:49:26] i'll do my part then [16:49:34] But all options are pretty decent now, esp. since we can get reduced processing fees for 501c3 status. [16:49:44] huh [16:50:11] they rely on google fully instead [16:50:12] [1/2] this is the tax right [16:50:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194322242373431386/image.png?ex=65afee44&is=659d7944&hm=883f697b2c3aa91d1a84d45c48dc748a68c2404adf0217740d84b55839044c4f& [16:50:22] PayPal fees [16:50:42] does that mean you get the full donation amount [16:50:44] minus the fees [16:50:55] Yes. If that's not ticked we get the amount minus the fees [16:50:56] yes [16:53:01] idk what to expect from people who specifically chose MediaWiki because it's free lol, but I'm optimistic [16:55:43] how do you only apply CSS to one namespace again [16:55:48] Appreciate your support, and we look forward to proving out what's possible once migration stuff settles down. 😄 [16:59:19] Hopefully our other volunteers have some guidance for you on this, the only thing I'm aware of to do that is TemplateStyles [16:59:46] i vaguely remember seeing a solution before, but i forgot [17:00:11] [1/2] it'd be to change the font of the title for this namespace [17:00:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194324756078530612/image.png?ex=65aff09b&is=659d7b9b&hm=81d23b666ecf9f520b52bfdbf8cdcf5b649929e6be0ba29105a89969626e5899& [17:00:18] to something code-like like Consolas [17:00:18] Oh hey, Xena to the rescue [17:00:23] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1012372437075234846 [17:01:00] ^ this is what you're looking for I think, @kojobailey [17:01:05] so `.ns-[namespace#]` [17:01:15] i think [17:01:17] will tfy [17:01:30] Seems like, but very much CSS volunteer domain of expertise. De nada. [17:03:37] I would like to donate to Miraheze, but I know I can't, ||just because my current phone went black screen and it has the bank authenticator||. So I guess I'll wait and will donate later or in the near future. [17:03:55] Oh nice! Does it also work for other namespaces? I saw a Phab task suggesting otherwise but I don't know if it's been fixed or anything. [17:05:03] [1/2] seems so [17:05:03] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194325978487463976/image.png?ex=65aff1be&is=659d7cbe&hm=89bd9aeb71e592b7097b40c98d2c94d30304cb79ae6291da8db8797db4b538f8& [17:05:21] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194326055247413328/image.png?ex=65aff1d1&is=659d7cd1&hm=6341c41e4aa8c31ffaec5d9acd4ee3b051c79418cdf1f3ea4fdd11690c5af67b& [17:09:23] No worries, if you're able during the fundraiser, that's great, but support at any time is welcome and limits the frequency of future fundraisers. [17:09:53] Oh, okay. 👍 [17:58:31] hmm, the RealMe extension broke on MH? [17:58:49] I tested so far and can't find any rel=me [18:10:51] NO PAYPAL!? [18:11:47] no paypal [18:11:52] yes [18:12:00] not yet [18:12:06] but i’m getting very close… [18:13:23] You mean 🏳️‍⚧️ or 💰? [18:13:45] uh neither [18:13:46] what [18:14:04] wait a sec [18:14:09] is that you in your pfp [18:14:15] in the middle [18:14:52] if so [18:15:04] <:KosakuKneel:976926376722583612> [18:21:34] Idg the sticker sorry [18:36:41] 🤷 probably just thinks it's cool that Jody and Mandeep are in the profile pic if I'm reading the who of who's in there correctly. [18:36:58] Also congrats on getting the logo and favicon stuff sorted, glad to see that's working now. 🙂 [18:50:45] quick question, how long is inactivity period for a wiki? [18:51:02] I am awaiting for a background to be made but don't want to mess something up before it [18:51:19] before closure? around 60 days [18:51:30] alright perfect [18:51:35] Exact timing varies based on whether there's been edits, see [[Dormancy Policy]] for more details [18:51:35] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Dormancy_Policy [18:51:36] [18:51:55] you can set up organizational things before restyling [18:52:09] any change on wiki counts [18:52:09] 100%, and if it gets logged towards recent changes, it counts. 🙂 [18:52:45] ah perfect [18:53:47] Also a good reminder not to set retained recent changes to something incredibly low, as that can potentially cause a false-positive trigger of the inactivity notice/wiki closure. [18:54:13] ^has happened and had to be fixed more than once. 😅 [18:54:35] [1/2] I've been searching high and low, but can't find a clear method. Is there a way to add custom user groups to this list? [18:54:35] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194353542727745717/image.png?ex=65b00b6a&is=659d966a&hm=c2dd58856054689d3f2269a0f6ae174bb918ff9f773803fc1feda7137f4e6049& [18:54:43] I will make sure to have made changes within 30 days to not even have it triggered [18:57:39] [1/2] I want to try and configure a wiki to have most new pages editable by anyone, but then have the more completed or warred over pages restricted to people who've been given a custom role by asking through discord without making them admins. Unfortunately, it only lists these four broad groups, and I haven't found any way to add more to the list, even if you can make custom user [18:57:39] [2/2] groups. And I don't want the custom groups to have access to admin only pages either, so I can't just give them the same editing permissions. [18:59:29] I don't believe that there's an ability to add other group-based restrictions but the 'administrators' option simply means that the person must have the editprotected right as part of their role. [18:59:56] So if you'd like to granularly grant only editprotected, a custom group works for that purpose. [19:01:35] would that give them access to some of the more volatile pages, like Common? [19:02:22] It would not grant them the ability to edit global interface pages like MediaWiki:Common.css, if that's what you're asking [19:02:34] alright, thank you! [19:03:12] No problem. Those pages are locked behind the editsitecss and editsitejs, to my understanding [19:05:47] Beyond that solution likes spam prevention extensions like Moderation and AuthorProtect, etc. [19:06:40] MW pages require editinterface yes [19:07:29] Ah, would a MW css page need both, then? [19:10:36] I think so <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [19:10:58] most of MW pages are like system pages [19:11:34] [1/3] Yep that's who they are! Met them at comic con (: [19:11:34] [2/3] Thank you! I'm dressed as Roman Torchwick from RWBY [19:11:35] [3/3] And thanks- it's awesome to actually see them now!!! [19:14:55] Question: do these have to be edits to the pages, or do things like uploading files count? [19:17:01] If it logs in recent changes my understanding is it generally counts, but a minor page edit doesn't hurt for safety. [19:17:07] ^ [19:17:14] SRE would be authority on this though, and Agent seems to agree. 🙂 [19:17:19] everything except user renames and new user creations [19:51:07] Also, you can add extra protection levels [20:09:21] til I'm the only user on Meta w/ Tor use exemption lol (thank you) [20:09:43] Huh [20:09:51] Oh yeah cause Russia? [20:10:59] there was period of time when only Tor worked for me, all trusty VPNs got hit hard [20:11:17] but yeah [20:13:43] on another note, mate, it feels so wrong to transliterate WikiTide, or any org name lol [20:14:00] Translate? [20:14:24] Wikimedia Foundation is transliterated [20:14:26] I've seen "Miraheze" be translated literally into different languages like Japanese or Urdu [20:14:57] What’s the literal meaning [20:14:57] type in Russian letters how it sounds in English [20:15:05] Oh [20:15:17] Miraheze is a combo of stars' names [20:15:18] Miraheze is the combination of two star names [20:15:19] yeah [20:15:23] mira + heze [20:15:32] WikiTide is like - real words tho [20:15:44] The story behind it is fun [20:15:54] Yeah but those are the names or stars [20:16:02] Not bound [20:16:07] Nouns* [20:17:12] oh, I also realized 'tide' can also be interpreted as "time" [20:17:24] so you could say WikiTide = Wiki Time [20:17:28] Time for wikis [20:17:55] So are servers going to be much faster once the switch is made? [20:18:00] yes [20:18:11] That will be nice [20:18:46] Thank you all for your work on this [20:19:19] Guh [20:19:32] https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/407537962553966603/1172221696388907171/A8CBB465-9E48-4589-BA5C-A0FEA07CA2D2.gif?ex=655f8787&is=654d1287&hm=bb9854289dee930bbb7b5613d77da5e345830b7fd6aa418e6cb688418900dd55& [20:19:50] [1/3] I guess I'll go w/ ВикиТайд, but I'm still not sure w/ Miraheze [20:19:51] [2/3] like [20:19:51] [3/3] I'll be honest, "heze" sounds funny in Russian ... [20:20:03] it sounds funny in English already lol [20:20:25] shortened version of "fuck's knows" [20:20:32] Ye it's funny in English [20:21:19] WikiTide supremacy [20:22:50] the rule is to transliterate but there's no canon way of how to pronounce it in English lol [20:24:39] Corning [20:26:14] [1/2] You should see some of the rejected names list for WikiTide. [20:26:14] [2/2] Fwikis is one of my personal favorites, it's just silly to say. [20:27:12] How the fuck- [20:27:17] lmao [20:27:44] oh yes, we almost launched as Fwikis [20:27:49] I think UO had bought the domain too [20:27:50] Is the F for Fuck it [20:27:56] close [20:27:58] free [20:28:17] People would have exploited that to fuck [20:28:31] 100%, I'm really glad we didn't go with WikiMaster, big GoDaddy vibes from that one. [20:28:36] then we had picked WikiGrotto but it was deemed a misspelling risk [20:28:52] (WikiGrotto was my personal favorite) [20:29:00] and also WikiGeyser at one point [20:29:03] WHEEZE [20:29:05] Heh, yep. [20:29:22] tbh I wouldn't think that [20:29:23] Wha [20:29:30] Not bad [20:29:38] let me find the list [20:29:45] Did T predate forge? [20:29:49] [1/5] A smattering of others: [20:29:49] [2/5] * WikiHearth (similar spelling concerns) [20:29:49] [3/5] * WikiCove [20:29:50] [4/5] * WikiSpire [20:29:50] [5/5] * WikiLagoon [20:29:55] WikiWave would be cool as shortened, WW [20:29:56] I've got the list Agent, one sec [20:29:57] win win [20:29:59] other way around [20:30:04] Yeah [20:30:12] Spire is interesting [20:30:15] Why the ocean focus [20:30:24] Sugary Spire [20:30:26] accidental lol [20:30:28] sorry [20:30:32] Im scared to ask but what exactly do you think it would be misspelled as [20:30:50] Just hard to spell correctly, like how wikihearth would have been wikiheart waaay too frequently [20:31:04] I came up with WikiTide as I looked around my room while brainstorming and saw a poster of a rollercoaster I have called "The Tidal Wave" so WikiTide came into fruition [20:31:29] Yeah, we had already been ideating on an oceanic theme for a bit, it was a perfect fit for what we were trying to encapsulate. [20:32:04] Why ocean [20:32:07] [1/7] Our original criteria: [20:32:08] [2/7] * Catchy, memorable [20:32:08] [3/7] * Not already taken [20:32:08] [4/7] * Doesn't infringe on IP [20:32:09] [5/7] * Contains the word 'wiki' [20:32:09] [6/7] * Bonus: Conveys that it is a free service [20:32:09] [7/7] * Bonus points: Cheap to acquire, ends in .com [20:32:23] Booooooo .com booooooooo [20:32:40] I love that [20:32:41] org superiority [20:32:52] Though tide.wiki would be fun [20:33:02] WikiTide is named after a rollercoaster called the tidal wave [20:33:04] We ended up settling on .org eventually, just wanted the option [20:33:06] The .wiki TDL is expensive as fuck though [20:33:18] Least from what I see [20:33:33] We do have a short url service we just haven't rolled out [20:33:51] O [20:33:58] it's the word wiki followed by an ironic suffix [20:34:06] [1/3] the Ocean/Water ideation arose from: [20:34:07] [2/3] * being the opposite of WikiForge, which had already had fire-related iconography [20:34:07] [3/3] * Conveying the mental image of a vast body of things, in this case wikis [20:34:19] Already owned [20:35:07] ok, I see the guy who translated most of FAQ keeps "Miraheze" in English [20:35:19] Dang [20:35:27] although also providing Russian variant (source?) [20:35:31] https://wiki.wiki is not owned it seems [20:35:44] I believe at one point in the process one of us did say, without irony, "What's the opposite of fire?" [20:35:45] [1/2] consider [20:35:46] [2/2] KiwiWiki [20:36:14] kiwis are dang cute [20:36:18] perfect mascot [20:36:34] and like source of the word "wiki", right? [20:36:43] Kiwiki [20:36:55] too close to KiwiFarms [20:36:57] rejected [20:36:59] lol [20:37:01] ah fuck [20:37:02] right [20:37:04] Drat [20:37:06] bleh [20:37:12] How did “Miraheze” come about [20:37:53] One of Miraheze's co-founders worked at Wikimedia and two of the servers there were called "mira" and "heze" [20:38:09] Ah [20:38:12] It is [20:38:30] Ah [20:38:37] Didn’t click the link through [20:38:40] Wiki.co.uk is free [20:38:55] £1k though [20:39:12] Wow! Wiki.online is only $6,499.99! [20:39:14] A steal [20:39:16] Wikis.co.uk is fine though [20:39:21] Or wikis.eu [20:39:35] Instead of $12,999.99 [20:39:46] I think some kind of list of all wikis ever should be on this domain lol [20:39:47] https://tenor.com/view/skull-gif-23663947 [20:39:48] map [20:39:59] Bet [20:40:40] Anyone have a png Mira logo? [20:41:24] [1/2] I can do ya an SVG... [20:41:24] [2/2] https://static.miraheze.org/metawiki/3/35/Miraheze_Logo.svg [20:42:01] Let’s see if this works [20:43:45] Don’t drat [20:45:31] If anyone got a raster ping me I have a Funni ah idea [20:46:11] I have a PNG on my computer [20:48:02] Found on on commons [20:48:11] Will send once I get in my pc [20:48:28] Well, why don't you put SVG file to a converter? [20:48:47] SVG are supposed to render at any resolutions [20:48:58] we already own wiki.surf, maybe that'll suffice lol [20:49:30] I remain thrilled we locked that one in. [20:49:38] Oooooh [20:50:00] Could double for Miraheze maybe as well [20:50:07] certainly [20:50:10] MiraTide [20:50:49] Mirage [20:50:57] Cause mira and mirages happen at sea [20:50:59] We should buy that too [20:51:10] 💀 [20:51:28] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194382958799355956/IMG_2195.png?ex=65b026cf&is=659db1cf&hm=b4c0f74c89cd01488cfdd01d7890ef4217561f3a8ca5f9e30d0fa68197eb27cb& [20:51:29] no [20:51:32] are those domains cheap? [20:51:38] I mean the renew price [20:51:49] well like $10 each [20:52:13] Would be nuts when domain are $1 first buy then $100 for each year renewed [20:52:58] We did see some pretty extreme renewal prices during the search, for sure [20:52:59] … [20:53:22] Worse then 13 thousand USD a year? [20:53:34] Worse then 13 thousand USD a year? [20:54:08] the one we got for custom domain is like 23? for renewal [20:54:24] I wish we had 13k [20:54:26] Use cloudflare [20:54:31] we could get our own ASN lol [20:54:55] ASN? [20:54:58] I don't recall specifics, but some of the more bespoke TLD suffixes were pretty out there. [20:55:09] [[w:ASN]] [20:55:09] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASN [20:55:09] [20:55:15] nooo [20:55:20] another disambiguation page [20:55:23] [20:55:49] Yeah like I was looking at domain names cause why not, .wiki was like 2-4 times more expensive [20:56:02] tl;dr they own IPs and other technical things [20:56:41] [1/2] Sorry to interrupt, but I'm trying to make a new template and suddenly the border-radius is not being applied to the border itself, and I don't know how to fix it. [20:56:41] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194384272698638416/image.png?ex=65b02809&is=659db309&hm=52c43d4d8ca583b47a75c39b3956b0ea7fcfe3eb55f6b7daa276f46c2beef493& [20:58:19] Away from keyboard for a bit, but if this is on a public wiki a link to where this is being tested would help folks troubleshoot. [20:59:42] It's a private wiki [20:59:52] If you're using a table for your template, the "border-collapse: collapse" property prevents table borders from having a radius [21:00:40] An alternative that allows for border radii is to apply the property "border-spacing: 0" [21:03:40] Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately that didn't work, but it did give me another idea that lead me to the issue [21:04:07] [1/2] Turns out the skin I was using (Pivot) broke the option. I set it back to Vector 2022 and voila [21:04:07] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1194386141252685834/image.png?ex=65b029c6&is=659db4c6&hm=0440a4a9d73fc72fd0848ff1169b47723080406cc827478716eff53a3c7abf33& [21:04:50] So I guess I can't use rounded borders and Pivot [21:04:52] That's interesting [21:07:00] how do you authorize your account again? [21:08:33] type `/auth` [21:12:53] does it have to be here? cause i tried doing it in the bots channel and nothing happened [21:13:03] /auth [21:13:12] still nothin [21:13:29] is the bot offline or something [21:15:49] oh it's because of how my mobile app works, whoops [21:16:21] As you start typing, do you see an auto complete for wikiauthbot? If so, tap that. [21:16:33] yeah that doesn't show up for me on mobile, i have it now [21:17:07] anyway. i've heard that there's a way to download information from a fandom wiki? unsure if that's helpful for migrating wikis, but that was sort of my assumption [21:20:18] Downloads of XML can be provided on request by Fandom staff, but images are trickier given their terms of service [21:20:50] 😔 i see [21:21:31] [1/2] Link to documentation on requesting dump [21:21:31] [2/2] https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Database_download [21:22:08] There are image scraping tools that exist, but they are a bit tricky and require some technical expertise to use [21:22:43] alright, noted. i'm a little uncertain of how exactly the .xml helps here [21:23:10] i've imported templates before, but it feels a bit presumptuous to think i could just upload one to a new miraheze wiki to migrate it from fandom? [21:25:11] That is exactly what you can do (though you may need to make some extra changes/enable certain extension, depending on exactly what template it is), since the underleying software used by MH and Fandom is the same (even if fandom done some changes to it, and limits what you can do with it, compared to normal) [21:26:27] interesting. that's a lot smoother of a transition then. i know both fandom and miraheze use mediawiki, but isn't fandom's version way behind what miraheze uses? [21:27:45] not sure what version fandom uses, but when it comes to content, it doesn't matter too much, most stuff works cross versions, or require only minor changes to make work [21:28:19] sweet [21:28:24] They're on 1.39 and change [21:30:50] The biggest thing you'll notice vs fandom is that MH has a dizzying number of options and customization leeway vs fandom, but a lot less pre-built for your use. [21:31:06] It's one of our biggest strengths and weaknesses [21:31:29] yeah i'm honestly more used to miraheze, i'm helping a community migrate their wiki to mira [21:31:39] absolutely refuse to touch fandom unless necessary, what i know is just what i've heard [21:32:02] do .xml files include CSS data? or is it just HTML. or something like that [21:32:05] not too sure how this works [21:32:08] Very little is hyperbole, sadly. [21:32:13] 😔 [21:33:53] it contains the content of whatever is directly on the page(s) you exported, so any inline css would apply, but not stuff coming from common.css etc, though you can export common.css etc pages as well, in which case it would be only css stuff [21:35:06] [1/5] Some extensions I recommend enabling for best compatibility with fandom egress: [21:35:07] [2/5] * TemplateStyles [21:35:07] [3/5] * TemplateData [21:35:07] [4/5] * PortableInfobox [21:35:07] [5/5] * Fandoom dummy mainpage tags (not sure on spelling for this one) [21:36:26] good to know, thank you both [21:36:54] but as i understand, this is all of the data on a wiki. is it actually a collection of .xml files for every page then, instead of one massive .xml file? [21:37:03] it does say it downloads as a zipped file [21:37:33] It should be a single very long XML document stored in a zip file [21:38:09] i see [21:38:23] That XML file is essentially the logical instructions used to reconstruct all page text/wiki text, edit history and authorship [21:38:51] There might be a few other files in the zip as well [21:38:53] so we would only need to upload that file to the miraheze wiki and it would automatically create all the pages? [21:39:44] You'd submit it to [[Special:RequestImportDump]] [21:39:44] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestImportDump [21:39:45] [21:39:50] ahh okay [21:41:27] This is the best route. If it's very small (under 2 MB) you can try to upload yourself, but that method is prone to timing out. [21:41:51] there's several thousand pages, so that's probably the best route [21:42:21] [1/2] How many wiki can somebody open [21:42:22] [2/2] Cuz I feel like there should be a limit if there is none [21:43:46] There's no limit but if you do request a big number of wikis, a wiki creator has the right to ask you if you actually need them and decline if they feel you don't [21:44:02] There's been various times this prerogative has been excersized [21:44:51] Very much at Wiki Creator discretion, but as a very general rule, unless somone has a team, more than 2 or 3 simultaneous projects that are actively being worked is generally too many. [21:45:07] [1/2] Yeah I would probably only have wiki for huge projects of mine [21:45:07] [2/2] So like probably 3 total in many years from now [21:46:27] History is also taken into account -- if someone has serially requested/abandoned a large number of wikis they may also find themselves declined. [21:47:18] (Losing interest in a project is fine, but if you're requesting and dropping a wiki a month, that's not cool) [21:47:47] My wiki are gonna be on near life support in the future when I finish a series, but I hope there's a way to archive them so I can let finish stuff stay [21:48:36] Absolutely. If you've reached content-complete status for a wiki and its contents have a useful purpose in the future, we do have the option to request exemptions from dormancy policy [21:49:29] [1/2] Phew [21:49:29] [2/2] I really don't want years of work going away when I finish stuff [21:51:29] [1/2] Hey, I'm wondering if there's a way to edit what templates look like when they're executed? Or pictures in general? Because I'm finding that the captions- which I do want people to be able to see to keep it accessible- take up a lot of room compared to the images. Usually I don't mind but on my main page with my chill-banner (https://decapedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Chill- [21:51:29] [2/2] Banner) it just looks really really weird. So, is there a way to put the caption next to the image? Or, put text that's part of a template in a box to show it's part of a template? [21:58:55] What you're generally looking for as I understand it would be a messagebox template. There's a few flavors of varying complexity that you can look at implenting. [21:59:27] [1/2] An example of a spoiler template from a game wiki I helped create that unfortunately has several template/module dependencies: [21:59:27] [2/2] https://growevertreewiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Spoilers [22:13:35] Yes, this is the kind of thing I mean, thank you! How do I do that? [22:19:41] <_.walten._> How you can make templates? [22:28:23] Oh, btw! We should change the [[mw:Miraheze]] and [[mw:WikiTide]] Pages with the merger [22:28:23] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Miraheze https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WikiTide [22:28:24] [1/2] [22:28:24] [2/2] [22:43:10] Do you want to make your own or like use one based off of another wiki [22:43:22] <_.walten._, replying to thenamesjonas> Own [22:45:00] Ah yeah that can be tricky, as I've only edited ones I've imported, haven't made my own yet. I'm sure someone here can help/direct you to a good guide [22:54:01] [1/6] Hi! I learned how to make my own by asking on here a lot. A couple key things: [22:54:02] [2/6] * to make a template, you can use a form, or just lick 'create a page' and title the page 'Template:'(name). The latter is easier imo [22:54:02] [3/6] * I found this helpful in figuring out what a template should look like in source editor: https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox [22:54:02] [4/6] * The way I see it, there are two main uses of templates. [22:54:02] [5/6] 1. As a banner/ block message. Often a block of text w/ an image that calling the template literally just pastes onto the page. Useful for things like putting spoiler tags on pages (like, one of those spoiler banners, do you know the ones I mean? I think someone sent one recently) [22:54:03] [6/6] 2. As an editable structure for, say, a character. It's the exact same process, just with more parameters, which are options to put things in and are written like {{{write smth here}}} [22:54:03] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:%7bwrite_smth_here [22:54:03] Is there a wiki on Miraheze about wikis on Miraheze? Not a reception wiki but just an unbiased documentation of other wikis [22:54:56] Feel free to look at templates on my wiki (link in my user description) for the general layout. Good luck! [22:55:33] I don't think so, apart from like Meta, but that's more of a reception wiki I think. [23:04:07] Is there a common or official abbreviation for Miraheze? [23:04:12] MH, perhaps? [23:05:07] yea [23:05:14] thats used for interwiki [23:20:27] <.labster, replying to enlightened_southerner> No, just [[Special:WikiDiscover]]. This is a problem I want to work on [23:20:27] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:WikiDiscover [23:20:27] [23:20:28] <.labster, replying to enlightened_southerner> No, just [[Special:WikiDiscover]].

[23:36:49] [6/8] * Modules are bits of Lua code that let your wiki do even more complicated behavior that templates can't do by themselves, and is getting closer to acting like full-blown apps [23:36:50] [7/8] * Extensions are like installing new apps onto MediaWiki and allow it to do entirely new things it couldn't do (or couldn't do easily) with templates and modules alone [23:36:50] [8/8] * Moderation extensions, calendar widgets, and wiki skins that change up navigation are all examples of how transformational these can be.
