[00:20:46] [1/2] I just looked at a wiki i'm working on that had its assets and pages imported from an .xml dump from another wiki, and for some reason, none of the pages have any of their edits after mid 2017 [00:20:46] [2/2] other than the dump having being made from the wrong revision of the wiki, what could cause that? [00:21:01] It's surprising as I find there's a lot of buzz when they are said [00:29:08] [1/2] do you know the xml dump included articles after mid 2017? please double-check the dump to ensure it was the correct version. [00:29:09] [2/2] if it was, maybe a [[phabricator]] task would be advised? [00:29:09] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/phabricator [00:29:10]

[00:30:01] [1/2] the site in question had articles made after that, but this dump may have been made of an old version of the site somehow [00:30:02] [2/2] i'm looking in to it [00:32:30] [1/3] the guy who did the dump swore he saw edits from september of last year but I'm not convinced he knows what he was doing [00:32:30] [2/3] i'll poke at the .xml a bit [00:32:30] [3/3] but if worse comes to worse, can I ask on phabricator to import a different dump? [00:32:58] because if i've been carefully curating a mod team and images and stuff to resurrect this wiki for a month and the dump we were counting on is six or seven years out of date, i'm going to lose it [00:34:41] <.labster> Yeah that sounds like an old dump [00:35:22] yep. just go to [[Special:RequestImportDump]] [00:35:22] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestImportDump [00:35:23]

[00:35:33] thank god [00:35:52] okay, i appreciate that [00:35:57] i'll reopen my phabricator ticket [00:35:59] if it comes to that [00:36:25] <.labster> There’s dates in the XML, you can search for newer dates in a text editor [00:36:54] [1/3] in the meantime this guy types at the speed of slow, so i'm kind of in limbo [00:36:55] [2/3] Oh yeah [00:36:55] [3/3] What editor would you recommend? Notepad++? basic notepad? [00:37:26] Notepad++ would be my recommendation, as it can have fancy highlighting and syntax recognition [00:37:28] god, what's worse than looking at the [Personname] is typing... at the bottom of the window and waiting for them to finish tap-typing [00:37:49] <.labster> BBEdit on a Mac lol [00:38:46] <.labster, replying to maulmachine> AIDS is worse [00:39:13] well sure, but you can't see AIDS on discord [00:39:15] https://tenor.com/view/rich-evans-red-letter-media-funny-aids-gif-12716501870436822613 [00:40:38] <.labster> Which wiki is this again? [00:41:10] it's not done yet, but it will be 1d6chan [00:44:57] <.labster> Yeah, so a really annoying way to get a newer dump would be: scrape archive.org -> use pandoc to convert HTML to wikicode -> use a scripting language to format the pages into XML import format -> import. It won’t have the best attribution but it’s fine. I’ve done worse imports before [00:46:53] huh [00:47:12] <.labster> In your case you could even do that step after an older dump is imported so some of the page history exists [00:47:30] we do have what i'm pretty sure is a stable dump from a mirror [00:47:52] [1/2] but i can't understand why this one is so old [00:47:52] [2/2] i'm not sure this dump we did use is from 2017 [00:51:17] okay i'll open the dump xml with Notepad++ and search for a word that didn't exist in 2017 from my homebrew project [00:52:09] <.labster> Just search for “2018-“ in the timestamps [00:52:14] might be able to search daye [00:52:16] ja [00:52:39] [1/2] what the hell [00:52:39] [2/2] i see edits here with timestamps after 2017 [00:53:07] hm, check the corresponding page on wiki? [00:53:35] <.labster> It is possible the import process partially failed [00:54:53] If the failure was date passed(ie worked fine until X date) I think the import script supports a parameter to continue(?$ [00:55:33] I've seen it twice already 😮 [00:55:46] <.labster> I think it does all of the revisions of a page together? [00:56:19] I’d need to check docs [00:56:44] <.labster, replying to rodejong> We’re gonna need to close the pool [00:56:48] [[mw:importDump.php]]? [00:56:48] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/importDump.php [00:56:49]

[00:56:53] [1/2] okay, i looked up a page that didn't exist in 2017 in the xml, but the XML has it [00:56:53] [2/2] yet when I went to it on the new mirror on miraheze, it doesn't exist [00:57:21] Must be a bad import maybe [00:57:45] Universal Omega did the import? [00:57:56] [1/2] Good night everyone! [00:57:57] [2/2] 🛌 💤 [00:58:08] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1208215775207493712/image.png?ex=65e279a0&is=65d004a0&hm=dd7eee005610a08c9a2be1dfcfa7edfe18020b0ca45c7d2a7f02db5a6551db5c& [00:59:17] <.labster> If you haven’t done much editing yet it may be best to wipe the wiki and reimport from scratch? Maybe continue would work? [00:59:23] (Also apologies for you seeming to repeated getting delays with this) [00:59:44] well [00:59:51] Seems agent did the import https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/808001911868489748/1203971313660596224 [01:00:10] If failed though [01:00:20] It seems like it was killed [01:00:54] Interesting, rerunning should work? [01:01:11] <.labster> Who hired the OOM Killer for a hit job? [01:01:31] Potentially [01:01:47] importDump.php does not supporr a date parameter [01:01:59] a:whysob: [01:02:15] No, but it supports a skip-to or something to skip to a specific revision [01:02:21] IIRC anyway [01:03:19] <.labster> Yep [01:03:21] [1/2] so should i reopen the ticket on phab, or is this not something I can help with? [01:03:22] [2/2] If you need anything from me, let me know [01:10:01] <.labster> Assuming we still have the file, we should be good [01:10:22] If the dump you gave us contains the info we should be able to complete it [01:10:38] there's a .7z file on my phabricator ticket [01:10:51] https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T11781 [01:11:02] if it doesn't work on attempt two, i'll use a different, older mirror [01:11:08] but the images should work, at least [01:11:23] in fact i think the images from the dump we used here do work [01:11:27] it's just the pages thatdon't [01:12:46] so, if i wanted to proof the second attempt, is there anything in the phab ticket or on the wiki itself that will indicate when the import is done? a notification or a phab alert or something? [01:13:45] If you’re subscribed to the task you’ll probably get an email when its closed [01:16:27] okay [01:23:11] Well, thanks for the help, guys [01:23:20] i was losing it over here in panic [01:24:34] Oh I totally get it. Only remaining copy of old history of something you’re invested in possibly incomplete or corrupted? I’d have a stroke [01:24:47] yeah [01:25:23] i guess we could rip an ancient mirror from archive.org and convert it but ew gross [01:28:18] Please wikigods no [02:01:33] <.labster, replying to maulmachine> I’ve done something like this. It took months [03:37:54] is there an extension that uses LaTeX for equations? or its just the math extension? [03:58:45] <.labster, replying to verdessence> TeX support for Mediawiki was removed a long time ago. [03:59:48] <.labster> I think it's all in the Math extension now. [04:15:13] dsamn... [04:19:36] one day, decades from now, TeX will finally be completely deprecated and replaced by something new and not unmaintainably ancient [04:22:55] [1/3] hey folks, a quick question. [04:22:55] [2/3] recently, every time i hit edit source on a page, the page would just get stuck at "the editor will now load", and I'd have to always click the "please reload this page" for the editor to actually show up. [04:22:56] [3/3] is this just me or is there something else? [05:55:56] [1/2] I'm trying to follow the instructions for inheriting my old account on the new wiki by creating an identical username, but it says my old username i'm trying to recreate is too similar to one that already exists [05:55:56] [2/2] is there any remedy, or am I just hosed? [06:17:18] [1/2] Welp [06:17:19] [2/2] Domain just went down, how do I switch it back to the miraheze domain? [06:21:24] Hi. Just let me know what your wiki url is and I'll remove the custom domain [06:21:50] Wikipwaadia.works [06:22:02] Why do you need to inherit a new account? [06:22:16] what's the original Miraheze subdomain?

[14:49:19] your domain doesn't seem to be pointed to us [14:49:32] Wdym? [14:49:52] Dosen't the Extra info explain it enough/ [14:50:12] I mean did you follow the instructions in that page? You need to actually point the domain to us in order for it to work [14:51:01] Did i not? [14:51:11] Custom Domain: https://agesofconflict.wiki [14:53:24] Have a look at that page. You need to go into your domain provider settings and either set a CNAME or point your nameservers to us [14:53:49] Sorry what? I'm a bit confused [14:54:47] Oh, You mean change the NAMESERVERS to Custom DNS? [14:54:51] what do I imput then? [14:56:38] i don't, really, but i want to make sure as many users as possible from my old wiki can [14:59:04] Either cname to mw-lb.miraheze.org or change the nameservers to ns1.miraheze.org and ns2 [14:59:20] ty [14:59:38] done [14:59:53] [1/2] Oh..

[16:07:25] Wikidata is a storage/"cataloguing" kind of project tied w/ Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects [16:08:44] a wiki on Miraheze just exists on Miraheze platform and isn't tied to Wikimedia is any way, but can someone can add a link to your wiki in some object's wikidata [16:10:23] like someone added a link to my wiki about Soft Cell on Wikidata page about Soft Cell [16:11:16] mind you, my knownledge of this subject might be on surface level [16:15:57] On the gogigantic Wiki, how do they get the text all one colour and with the hovering effect? I'd like to use it And I can credit it in the CSS [16:20:39] you mean change color of all text or links? [16:20:49] and color change of links on hover? [16:22:07] Ye [16:22:18] Both [16:22:30] I'd like to change the defult colour as white and links as gold [16:31:26] ..? [16:51:21] [1/2] I usually leave commentaries in my CSS, on what portions of the code do, so like - you can see [16:51:21] [2/2] [16:52:24] [1/4] as for normal text color it's usually [16:52:24] [2/4] `body #mw-content-text { [16:52:25] [3/4] color: ...; [16:52:25] [4/4] }` [16:52:27] [1/20] ```/ Links / [16:52:27] [2/20] / Normal / [16:52:28] [3/20] a { [16:52:28] [4/20] color: #FFF8A1 !important; } [16:52:28] [5/20] a:visited { [16:52:29] [6/20] color: #FFF37A !important; } [16:52:29] [7/20] a:hover { [16:52:29] [8/20] color: #9FDDDF !important; [16:52:30] [9/20] text-decoration: none; [16:52:30]
