[00:01:27] Thanks for everything! [00:03:22] https://commons.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:License_templates [00:03:51] You can see here the available license templates [01:29:18] late but welcome back @raidarr [01:29:34] danke [06:26:59] Hey @bwm0 , which is the wiki you think this wiki is duplicating? https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/41271 [06:32:20] There are quite a few Minecraft-Roblox wikis I recall approving [06:33:35] Do they all talk about cross play between the 2 games? [06:37:13] I’m not sure, you’ll have to check yourself [06:38:59] I would say this is relevant for a wiki creator to confirm, as that is what would determine if it's truly a duplicate wiki or not. [06:40:01] Sure, please stand by [06:42:46] They do not, rather they focus on what seems to be pseudo-Minecraft inside Roblox (or something) [06:43:29] Updated [06:44:22] Thank you very much! [06:59:07] Is there a upload limit to image? [06:59:18] For the wiki [07:05:24] [1/2] there is not but if it's evident that the images are too big for their own good or aren't really used on wiki it's subject to check up by Mira's global admins [07:05:24] [2/2] it is also against to host wikis as file storage rather than an actual wiki (unless it's a file repository for other wikis) [07:17:05] [1/3] Oh on the topic of this, can someone advise whether it's possible to bulk delete items within the "Unused Files" special page? (I don't need it now but just planning ahead) [07:17:05] [2/3] I saw there used to be an extension for it but it's no longer maintained and it might all be done in the backend now? [07:17:06] [3/3] But yeah, there's a lot of shit on my own wiki. XD So many unused files from years of lack of maintenance, It wouldn't surprise me if it's considered a breach of content policy so I wanna get that cleaned up when I can. [07:19:05] I'd say DPL3 + NukeDPL, filtering by File namespace [07:19:06] Also to add to Legroom's point RE Pokm000, if very large images are uploaded, they tend to fuck with the thumbnail previews. So yeah, I don't recommend anything overly large either. [07:20:07] I was thinking of NukeDPL but then I saw it had this warning ` Warning: If you use namespace = Image the image files won't be deleted correctly, only the corresponding text pages.` So I wasn't sure if it was capable of removing images, only articles? [07:20:17] ah [07:20:58] I remember using an AJAX js script on Fandom to delete files, but had to compile the list manually [09:25:27] 200MB per file if I'm correct, no hard limit on total files [09:28:13] [1/2] Oh, 250MB [09:28:14] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1209431305717022810/image.png?ex=65e6e5ad&is=65d470ad&hm=0ac21cdc158e5c001795fa81586f8ccff0655aaab62a621178d922e559bca430& [09:30:19] You can setup AutoWikiBrowser to load names in "Unused Files" then auto click the delete button [09:30:28] 💀 [10:46:39] that's massive ☠️ [10:47:45] Anyone here know basic animation? [10:49:09] for what? [10:50:03] Right now I'm tryna do basic animating because I wanna make a series of mine [10:51:06] [1/2] mate, this discord server is a support place of Miraheze, the wiki hosting platform [10:51:06] [2/2] I assumed you are asking about CSS animation, but it seems like it's total off topic [10:51:45] Right just wanna know who knows basic animate my bad [10:52:56] There's no reason we can't store up to 4GB [10:52:59] for a single file [10:53:17] an entire movie in 720p? [10:54:52] if it's less than 4GB, it can be done [10:55:31] Swift has some limits at 4GB, Wikimedia support higher than 4GB but I think it needs extra work [10:55:47] but I don't expect too many people want 4GB+ uploads [10:55:51] @cosmicalpha might knpw [10:56:00] I don't expect too [10:56:08] and least we forgot about copyrights [10:56:51] and things like game moding software better be kept of proper file hostings [10:57:15] or Internet Archive [10:58:04] plenty of movies are available on IA too [11:04:39] [1/2] [11:04:39] [2/2] if it's still not what you meant then please move it to #offtopic [13:35:35] [1/2] harej might be a late starter but he's got the lead in the race [13:35:35] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1209493554234392657/image.png?ex=65e71fa6&is=65d4aaa6&hm=7372ccb75142aba3078e32b1ad3ce393efd9a1abdb304e4c138692a0868546e5& [13:39:27] What chart is this [13:39:36] That Owen held for that long [13:39:48] that's the board of directors chart [13:40:00] Oh [13:40:14] Rest in peace Owen, enjoy your retirement [13:40:21] charts seems to be a bit odd to me [13:40:26] not only this [13:40:58] I don't think anyone has been really maintaining those chart [13:41:10] Yeah [13:41:15] according to the SRE members chart I'm not a member :ThinkerMH: [13:41:34] they are manually updated but I meant how these lines are rendered [13:41:35] I wanted to try and Make a script a while ago to automatically make it based on user rights [13:41:37] But uh no [13:41:44] but my buttons on GitHub very much say I am [13:42:14] I really hate how the chart works tbh [13:42:21] should use JSON IMO [13:42:34] that would actually make it possible to update automatically [13:43:44] by all means [13:55:06] how do you become a translator on meta? [13:56:18] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Translators#Appointment_and_Revocation [13:56:47] basically head over to the [[AN]] and ask if you suit the qualifications [13:56:47] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/AN [13:56:49]

[14:00:18] All are updated regularly with the exception of SRE [14:00:46] and I do not know why SRE isn’t (except I don’t think we use it on any pages like the others tbh) [14:01:17] where are the translator extension docs? [14:01:45] [[mw:Extension:Translate]] [14:01:45] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate [14:01:46]

[14:04:15] gonna have to check that :ThinkingHardMH: [14:11:36] so I just read this entire page and then I’m good for this requirement!p? [14:11:52] What languages do you know? [14:13:04] And how proficient [14:13:41] I submitted just now as well. (danish and Dutch (da+nl)) [14:15:07] [[Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard#I_would_like_to_help_out_with_translating]] [14:15:07] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%2527_noticeboard#I_would_like_to_help_out_with_translating [14:15:08]

[14:16:01] I’m native Italian [14:18:01] if you have a strong grasp on english as well (you do seem to do well from what I've seen), that should do it [14:20:06] I do! I’ll finish reading the page you linked me, and right after that I’ll make a post on the notice board. [14:22:34] I would also suggest to get an idea of how Meta works etc [14:23:00] meta-awareness is good for all roles for sure [14:23:40] Indeed. There's a lot missing which could be copied and altered over mrom Wikimedia [14:25:01] if it's done with caution and does not make it nearly impossible to keep tabs [14:25:26] that was the big problem with people doing that from wikipedia, just loads of mildly complex and ultimately unhelpful templates and pieces that have been buried ever since [14:27:07] how would I do that? [14:28:10] Go through the category pages, and read those pages. [14:28:15] pretty much just browse and learn who's who, how various meta processes work, maybe do some local testing of how translation might go so you're off the ground going smooth and only need to work out kinks in your interface knowledge [14:28:24] fx. know where the licence templates are is quite handy [14:28:47] and yes, categories are a strong way to get an impression, I've made a few updates over time to try and make them more intuitive and others have as well of course [14:29:09] [1/2] top level category [14:29:09] [2/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Miraheze [14:30:25] I see I could probably tweak some of the top level categories like drop t&s into the field area [14:31:06] But the main thing should be the MediaWiki:Sidebar. It should have an update as well [14:31:49] it was initially, removed in one of the sidebar updates [14:32:14] might have been because the categories aren't necessarily as useful for casual editors, rather for people explicitly becoming more 'meta aware' [14:32:41] perhaps to that end it can be added to autopatrolled since anyone getting that far has been around the block at least a little [14:32:49] autoconfirmed* [14:32:49] Where and which ones should I read? [14:33:50] fields, policies and documentation are good to know [14:34:42] granted it's mainly the board and trust and safety that are fields I recommend people know, finance and tech have more niche appeal [14:34:51] The great thing about categories: They show the relevant pages, and not the clutter in interlinks [14:35:38] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Translations might be useful to get an idea of what is/is not translated, although translations are very roughly categorized [14:36:02] rules [14:36:05] how do I do local testing? [14:36:08] policies [14:36:14] user groups on meta [14:36:25] how boards work [14:36:40] that's prime stuff on my opinion [14:37:21] translate some stuff offline and see how well it reads out is my big thought, even run it by someone who's also proficient in italian (wish that sort of thing was done more often but it's not compulsory at all) [14:38:58] There’s no other Italian translators on Meta… [14:39:20] could have sworn there were 1-2 folks who knew it but if that's the case I guess no on tapping others [14:40:19] probably back in 2021-2022 [14:40:38] How do I find out my proficiency level in English? [14:40:49] actually, someone tried to translate w/ google but alot was rollbacked [14:41:07] tbh it's kinda intuitive [14:41:08] well yes, we got a lot of google hence the problem :p [14:41:15] Google Translated Italian reads very bad [14:41:21] and yeah, it's more where you think you're at, there's no official test [14:41:21] exactly [14:41:27] I like you already [14:41:39] so RfC was made to limit translations to native or professional speakers [14:41:50] the rule of thumb is, are you capable enough in english to understand the word of what you're translating and what it means [14:42:06] ie, you can capture some of the intent in the policy and not just the raw words [14:42:22] Yes, I can. [14:42:37] we've had various users come through who were sadly just not comprehensible at all in english and clearly did not understand what they translated, that is where the concern lies [14:43:09] or to put it another way if you need to use a translate to get by in english there is a concern [14:43:50] I nearly never use google translate for English. [14:44:21] as long as you've got the language down pretty well then your proficiency should be fine [14:44:56] I’m not like that since I actually understand what is written. [14:45:09] so yeah, you should be good [14:45:22] Is there a list of the levels? [14:46:25] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Babel#Usage [14:46:29] we use babel template [14:46:31] yeah that [14:48:10] By those definitions I am level 3 and a half [14:48:29] At least that’s what I believe I am. [14:49:54] I gave myself 3 too [14:50:36] You can use: "{{#babel:it-n|en-3}}" [14:50:36] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23babel:Template:it-n [14:50:48] there's a user on Meta who is trying to much to be helpful, and plastered lvl 4 on Russian while copy/pasting google translate results untill I asked her to stop [14:51:52] [1/2] You can use: "{{#babel:it-n|en-3}}" [14:51:52] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23babel:Template:it-n [14:51:53] [2/2] You can put it on your user page. [14:52:41] I just did that plus some other languages I know: https://login.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Eatyourglory [14:54:39] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1209513453627244584/image.png?ex=65e7322f&is=65d4bd2f&hm=0f00d91a0b331cf48e896a277c6b6919167ff31cc46bae966d1dda37616e26d4& [14:55:50] I listed the Scandinavian languages as I'm interested to learn these languages [14:56:38] imagine adding all languages as 0 under couple of ones you know [14:56:41] I barely know 2 [14:57:16] I kinda wanna modify the Bable module [14:57:49] parser data stonks? [14:58:47] Wait is it not a module [14:58:53] Well, I understand a little Faroese, but too little to call it level 1. Icelandic I do not understand at all, but would like to, as that is still the Old Norse language which was spoken here in Norway, Denmark and Sweden for about 800 years ago [14:59:04] Oh it is a parser function my bad [14:59:05] No, just templates [14:59:50] I’m dumb [15:00:54] Now I just gotta ask on the admin noticeboard right? [15:02:04] Yes, Just under mine [15:02:42] Oh, hey, pixeldev, any updates on that .XML import you said you would look in to last week? [15:03:11] I was trying to get the .XML import and image import on my new wiki, and it froze at 2017 or something [15:37:06] Oh yea. What was the task again? Note I’m not a member of SRE(I not much smart a:Pensive_motion:) so I can’t really do much action wise myself [15:37:35] I sent agent a poke, he'd be best able to follow up with you on that [15:37:45] since it seems that's where things ended up on the original task itself [15:38:10] Okay [15:38:28] The issue was importing an .XML for my wiki that appears to have frozen halfway through [15:38:38] No edits after 2017 are visible [15:57:50] How do you delete a namespace? [15:58:18] Like can I delete namespaces, I, myself have made? [16:00:09] that's pretty odd because MediaWiki doesn't process imports like that [16:00:24] it goes by page, not by date [16:00:36] so one page is imported with all of its revisions at a time [16:02:41] I don't know what to tell you [16:02:59] When I go to the newly-imported page, no edits after 2017 are visible [16:03:12] well, I'm rerunning it [16:03:19] Okay [16:04:28] yeah, go to that namespace setting, there will be Delete tab or something [16:04:50] Alr thx [16:11:19] Maybe syntax error in the xml that tripped up the script? [16:15:08] I hope not, but if there is, well [16:15:15] We only really needed the wiki as it was [16:15:30] If we lose all the older edits and revisions, we can deal with that [16:26:14] still no luck contacting that guy? [16:26:31] sorry you'll have to go tru such hoops [16:28:02] Hey @cosmicalpha, whenever you have time, could you import the images from Rushpedia’s Wikitide version to Miraheze? [16:29:30] What’s the Phab task [16:29:55] What's the difference between a normal infobox and a portable infobox? [16:30:32]
