[00:00:20] I won't hold it against you 😆 [00:01:02] lol [00:01:43] Good luck @pixldev!!!! [00:02:08] you were quite fast to vote [00:02:26] Had to be first 🙂 [00:02:51] And beat the nominator 😂 [00:03:02] agent do be slipping on the nom votes [00:04:09] Does the nominee have to accept before we can !vote tho? [00:04:58] yes but he already did via DMs so it's set in stone [00:06:26] https://tenor.com/view/chisel-flintstones-fred-carve-gif-18036570 [00:07:44] Also, may want to change wik->wiki in the second to last sentance in the first paragraph. [00:09:27] done [00:09:33] thanks for the note [00:10:01] np [00:10:13] I love finding typos 😉 [00:10:31] Also, may want to change sentance in your sentence [00:10:31] this guy's in a rough spot https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions#BettaCallSoul@loonathewikiwiki [00:11:15] since I doubt he has a committed identity or anything he's kinda outta luck unless he does the whole 9 yards with an LE and someone to ensure he doesn't get stalemated by the moderation filter [00:11:39] Stews could ask for consent to CU, then verify if the accounts are the same [00:11:51] CU does not meet the bar I'm afraid [00:12:42] the subject has been covered in the past and it's policy from an SRE perspective to take no chances, even CU is not absolute enough [00:13:03] wow, the more you know ig [00:13:19] yeah it's been an unpleasant surprise to a number of people over time [00:14:04] but without much trouble, just time it's possible to take over a wiki while making that claim with no verification involved using the LE process... not my favorite setup tbh [00:16:10] They haven't created any pages or content yet, so they could probably just request a new wiki [00:17:51] Wow, pixel's RfP already has 6 supports [00:17:58] 👏 [00:18:02] the insidious part is that if you can't verify you're the account holder then you can't be the one to request that wiki is removed, but technically that wiki has to be removed otherwise the wc process should decline it for being a duplication of an existing wiki [00:18:25] didn't think about that [00:18:33] well, yeah, they are in a pickle [00:18:51] https://tenor.com/view/pickle-dill-with-it-gif-8229752 [00:19:13] at this point le is probably the only real bet and then take a break following some cursory checks so stewards are confident enough the wool isn't being pulled over, but it's up to stewards to explain that one [00:19:36] not surprised tbh, pixel's made a name for himself so far [00:20:14] a more curious vote might be deem who's prone to a measured or alternate view, less caught up in mainly discord-based impression [00:20:34] still, it would be nice to see this in the RfP since not everyone can see DMs [00:20:59] well of course, that's why there's a Nominee statement section [00:21:12] May run into trouble w/ users who aren't on Discord, but hopefully not [00:21:18] I'm just saying that it's safe to vote for him (despite being against the rules lol) because he accepted privately [00:21:34] Great minds (https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_permissions?diff=prev&oldid=386808) [00:21:41] might simplify to mention that consent was granted via dm to help assure people who have voted that this is the case [00:21:43] think alike 😉 [00:21:58] for sure. why I "supported if" they accept [00:22:45] but yeah I'd be pleased to give pixel a shot [00:23:00] https://tenor.com/view/vote-ready-election-america-usa-gif-12664504 [00:23:00] vote probably coming tomorrow ish [00:23:36] [1/2] still, i think the nominee should affirmatively accept. [00:23:36] [2/2] i don't think anyone doubts pixl's bonafides [00:24:08] I just mean upfront in a nomination like this - indeed the candidate should then proceed to accept formally and simplest of all is coordinating a time to ensure this is seamless [00:25:15] but barring that a mention in the first place of it is better than nothing as it could appear to be a random nomination at first read and it's not ideal for the only affirmation to be belatedly mentioned on discord by the nominator [00:26:07] so much bikeshedding [00:26:35] you ain't seen nothing [00:26:45] remember idk, first half of last year [00:28:39] That is my irl pet peeve [00:28:49] might be why I hate meetings [00:29:11] https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DWLl0IjpK8Ug&ved=2ahUKEwjkpraBsraFAxWYFVkFHbKyBIEQtwJ6BAgSEAI&usg=AOvVaw2SmhLDNVXW9Hb3fAuyfKN9 [00:29:23] i'm sorry this seems like bikeshedding. seems like a RfP should be accepted on wiki vs in DMs which the community doesn't see. [00:29:47] you know up is down when I'm the one who's on about what's procedurally ideal [00:30:52] I'd like to believe that was mostly tongue in cheek [00:31:14] If it would satisfy people, we could simply put the votes in a [00:31:21] until acceptance [00:31:29] idk why tho [00:31:33] @pixldev wake up and save us from this 💔 [00:31:54] Don't wake a sleeping angel 🤕 [00:31:59] at most just a note on the top of the discussion section and done, if I was stew I'd let it go but strongly advise mention that it was at least accepted between nominator/nominee for future reference [00:32:25] and to sync up somewhat so nomination can just be approved on the spot to eliminate the gap [00:32:43] I know a good solution to the "if i was a stew" problem 😉 [00:33:03] wouldn't want to go that far right now tbh [00:33:28] it's more than bikeshedding about rfps for sure [00:51:31] [1/2] I normally would agree with @jph2 but he has been talking about it in #volunteering #general and #offtopic ... So it's not surprising. But I agree that it would have been better that he could acknowledge it immediately. [00:51:31] [2/2] But @pixldev is not 24/7 on his devices. So let's be patient. He'll add his confirmation soon enough. [00:53:02] next person to talk about procedure will be vanished \:P [00:54:36] ```"Procedure" means a series of steps or actions that you do in a certain order to get something done correctly. It's like following a recipe to bake a cake or brushing your teeth before bed. Each step is important to make sure things work well.``` [00:54:57] So, why'd we change the RfP procedure from AN to RfP again? [00:55:19] oh, that's a different can of worms [00:55:27] Living dangerously huh? [00:55:31] and something that not everyone agrees on [00:55:38] do tell [00:55:53] Agent said "next person", which would be you 😆 [00:56:01] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Discussion:_Moving_appointed_permission_requests_from_the_AN_to_RfP [00:56:39] I waas kidding, but its a good read for those interested. [00:56:46] Very much a controversial topic [00:56:48] Also, being muted is no fun [00:56:52] mention it again and you'll be kicked <.< [00:57:02] 😶 [00:57:08] very tempting [00:57:43] ||move=okay, but I'd prefer to revert|| [00:57:48] @agentisai per the convo, should we revert? [00:58:05] it feels like a better solution is needed but at this time, unsure what it is [00:58:06] I support @agentisai [00:58:32] I’ll leave a on wiki accept [00:58:37] What# i miss [00:58:41] lol [00:58:45] agent muting me [00:58:58] people bikeshedding about your RfP [00:59:01] not much [00:59:11] RfP? [00:59:16] oh no what did i miss [00:59:18] remind me what bikesheding is plz im dimb [00:59:28] Request for permission... [00:59:33] no but did someone file one [00:59:35] I'm already in enough hot water here. Pixel's discussions in other channels isn't the issue, nor is their candidacy as they're a solid volunteer. I just don't think it's unreasonable to expect them to accept them to accept a nomination, especially since their comments on Discord have been somewhat reluctant. [00:59:42] like mindlessly arguing [00:59:58] Pixel did... [01:00:04] lol [01:00:16] well, ig agent did but same difference [01:01:13] Well, the fear of rejection is a real thing. So I understand his apprehension [01:02:02] And he's been discussing it at lengths [01:02:03] Their apprehension isn't the point. The point is waiting for their acceptance to avoid "bikeshedding" [01:02:31] Folks, lets just leave this behind us [01:02:38] The discussioin is precisely why I wanted more clarification of their acceptance. [01:02:41] Pixel has accepted, this is now irrelevant [01:02:59] this was an interesting case of bikeshedding [01:03:11] smh [01:03:46] i am sorry. [01:03:57] Pixl accepted? [01:04:03] Maybe my Meta is just slow [01:04:18] Not yet, I assume he is writing his acceptance now [01:04:34] But he has at least confirmed publicly that he intends to accept [01:07:10] was in the car [01:10:32] Sigh [01:12:12] Well.. I am off to bed. It's 3:11am again.. 🛏️ + 💤 = 🛌🏻 [01:12:19] good night [01:12:37] ig ill go lock the shed up 😆 [01:12:44] (why is it called that) [01:17:52] What are people's thoughts on adding delete userpage to meta? [01:18:47] Don't see anything wrong with that tbf [01:18:51] Login wiki also [01:19:03] yep, that too [01:19:29] also r u going to accept? 😆 [01:22:58] <.labster> Hey guys does anyone want to talk about procedure? [01:23:05] Mute this man [01:23:12] -_a [01:23:18] Nice job, lab [01:23:43] Yes(heard it here folks) im going to write an accept on wiki, if I don't come in the next hour ish I got too caught up in what to say and went to bed [01:23:46] /mute Labster [01:23:50] :p [01:24:01] heh, see DMs as wel [01:24:47] <.labster> You can just say “I accept” and edit the page later [01:25:36] True ture [01:25:50] <.labster> The great thing about wikis is that they’re great for holding incomplete information [01:26:51] COUGH Nyctopedia [01:26:56] I mean say what now [01:31:13] no clue what the tool emoji means tbh [01:31:20] 🤦‍♂️ [01:32:25] right right my bad. It's become the defacto symbol of the fandom wiki staff team im on, habits [01:32:35] we use it as an okay/confirm/agree [01:32:59] partly cause the wiki lead has a wrench head pfp [01:35:01] Ahhhhh [01:35:07] you’re a member of fandom wiki staff??? [01:36:01] That FANDOM Wiki is the reason I'm here/a wiki person at all 😄 [01:36:26] thank you funny minecraft server [01:39:01] It litterally means "What a Tool" or "They're a Tool" (usefull for only a select few things) [01:39:16] 🤨 [01:39:19] guh [01:39:20] that feels not right [01:39:34] That was.. not the intention 😄 [01:39:42] heh [01:40:08] [1/2] i just stole it from this guy [01:40:08] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227432900572479598/G5tbzvd.png?ex=662862f8&is=6615edf8&hm=8d82ced105edb7f82ed5d2832f06aa1ed99fc1e7327fd1095fcf484dae07961d& [01:40:28] hi boy [01:40:48] métagall moment [01:40:54] how did that autocorrect to “hi boy”???? [01:40:55] <.labster> That’s not even a real tool, it’s a crescent wrench [01:40:57] anyways writign [01:41:07] i hate them so much to be honest [01:41:20] every time i have to take something apart it’s a pain in the ass [01:41:22] https://tenor.com/view/tightening-a-screw-waldo-dinotrux-pipe-wrench-turning-gif-17903666 [01:41:33] lmfao [01:41:45] I used to watch that show so long ago [01:42:48] drat does support not support(lmao) custom text [01:42:51] eh done will do [01:50:04] [1/3] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_permissions#PixDeVl_(Wiki_creator) (don't forget to make your long speech for the Statement!) [01:50:04] [2/3] I expect a long one! [01:50:05] [3/3] 💤 [01:50:33] why you think im taking so long lol [01:50:52] (was looking for the link to my sample requests for anyone who didnt see it) [01:52:42] the hell is it 52 already dang [01:53:45] oh btw should we make a IRC mirror of #volunteering? thought of it cause i wanted to get the link to irc logs of the answers for non discord users [02:02:52] the shed has been locked https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_permissions?oldid=386818 [02:03:03] and I forgot to sign again lol(fixed) [02:04:15] @rodejong long enough for ya 😄 ? [02:05:59] hm cc MacFan4000 and @cosmicalpha? [02:16:26] We could, though I’d want to hear people’s opinions, on weather or not we should have an IRC channel for that [02:17:41] I think it could be good for our solely IRC users, even though they're rare [02:17:44] If it's meant to be accessible to everyone and targeted towards volunteers, an IRC relay makes sense [02:17:53] Though maybe we should wait for the rename [02:18:00] TBD if IRC channels will be renamed? [02:18:36] @Board Members / @Discord Administrators will need to clarify a bit [02:18:56] I guess we could do #miraheze-volunteering [02:19:16] currently the WT channels redirect to the MH counterparts [02:20:42] MacFan: will it flip once rename is done? [02:21:03] [1/3] hi guys, sorry to poke again, ive been waiting roughly 3 weeks for this SRE request (additional permission level being added) n if anyone could possibly give me a timeframe or nudge it for me thatd be really useful, im having to decide whether i need to adminlock pages in the meantime which will prevent my trusted editors from accessing them which isnt ideal. pls let me know i [02:21:03] [2/3] f theres anything i can do or if i must just wait longer. thanks guys, appreciate all you do!! [02:21:03] [3/3] <.labster> Assuming the community doesn’t fully reject our rename proposal, things will be renamed eventually, making sure we don’t break integrations [02:21:52] Eventually meaning in terms of months I'm assuming [02:22:00] Which if the case then yeah we should just create an IRC relay [02:22:14] If we decide to rename IRC channels, that would mean all official MH controlled channels (not necessarily all MH namespace ones) [02:22:34] Yep [02:23:24] Do we have wikisurf registered as well under the WT foundation project for IRC? [02:23:31] we should try for all the domains we plan to control [02:23:41] <.labster> Obviously we don’t need to rename the cabal because it doesn’t exist. [02:24:15] 🤦‍♂️ [02:24:21] That which must not be named [02:43:04] is #join-log dead? [03:08:24] hm/ [03:08:58] okay so what are we doing with #join-log?? [03:09:12] will look into fixing, thanks for alerting us to the issue [03:10:59] 👍 [03:20:36] We do not currently control the wikisurf namespace [03:24:12] Ah [05:21:24] cc: @\stewards could you close [[Meta:Requests_for_permissions#Labster_(Administrator)]]? this request has been open for a week and there appears to be a consensus to grant it [05:21:24] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_permissions#Labster_(Administrator) [05:21:25] [07:49:26] Curtesy ping @Site Reliability Engineers [08:12:47] @MacFan4000 @brandon.wm re IRC, I don't personally find it necessary or urgent atm for the channel and I think it can wait a bit longer [08:14:37] That would not be in the scope of Libera so no, it will not be done. That is just a domain anyway. We don't have mirahezecom or orainorg registered yet own the domains... domains dont dictate IRC, the project does, which will only be #miraheze and #wikitide [08:16:03] I am very sorry for the delay. Will get to it in a few hours if no one else does... [08:17:36] Appreciate the ping [08:36:59] what i missed? :ThinkerMH: [08:44:06] <.labster> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_portal#Request_for_Feedback_-_Rename_Miraheze_to_WikiTide [08:46:29] <.labster> If people are interested in giving more detailed, structured feedback than we got in the Miraheze Meeting to the proposal that we rename to WikiTide, please post something in the next few days to CN. ^ [08:50:13] [1/2] I'll voice my opinion on it soon [08:50:14] [2/2] But I'm okay with it, don't mind either way [08:51:26] <.labster> [1/2] Particularly, I'm interested in any feedback that the rename is bad for the future of the wiki farm and the foundation. I saw a lot of "you don't have enough reasons to rename", but that feels a little to much like sunk costs to me. The decision isn't yes/no, but which path gets us better results. I understand liking a name, perhaps even identifying with a name, but that's do [08:51:26] <.labster> [2/2] esn't mean that it will get the best results for us, collectively. [09:44:09] I'll add my comments later since the mobile editor is eating everything I type .-. [09:45:10] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_portal#Request_for_Feedback_-_Rename_Miraheze_to_WikiTide I have added my 10 cents [09:45:13] largely in favour, main concern is of course making sure transition is as smooth as possible [09:46:51] The transition is not the issue. It's just renaming all pages where Miraheze is written the logo and wordmark are centralised, and the new ones are already present at the repository. [10:41:40] speaking of NDA and the board of directors, it's something like this: [10:41:48] https://tenor.com/view/laughing-bird-soul-gif-21844036 [10:42:13] sorry for being late at that conversation ten hours ago XD [10:46:43] How about a new name, like Golden Spatulawikis [10:47:34] nice [10:56:16] As I wrote, MiraWiki/WikiMira would do well but other possibilities are available. ^ [10:58:03] right, all of that is part of the transition :p [10:59:32] I just meant to say, that is the childs play compared to the rest. [10:59:55] right, what I meant to say was that my worries for the transition were about the whole package, not just the physical changing of the name :p [11:00:36] like has already been said, it's a combination of a social and a technical change, and those two have to mesh well together in order for it to be smooth [11:03:40] True that [11:12:04] finally wrote up some comments: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_portal#c-LtDk-20240410111100-Labster-20240410084100 [11:13:13] OpenWikiNonProfit :thonk: [11:13:16] excellent name [11:17:29] orain i still visible on the gif [11:18:02] Orain will never go awau [11:18:03] quite ironic to be honest [11:18:11] agreed [11:19:14] nice [11:27:19] guys, I'm getting really hopeless [11:27:37] why the fuck my wiki is getting nerfed so hard in googlw [11:29:37] What's your wiki? [11:30:10] when console says 64 pages are indexed, only main page gets trough [11:30:34] [11:31:13] I see 118 pages show up when searching `site:https://gogigantic.wiki` [11:31:35] yeah [11:31:41] and when w/ normal quesries [11:32:09] like "gigantic wiki" - sure, but when tryed things like specific character - nithing [11:32:34] a wiki.gg instance that got open two days ago is already beating mine lol [11:32:49] while I forked in November [11:34:29] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227582472498446376/Screenshot_20240410-063418.png?ex=6628ee44&is=66167944&hm=d5017be46ade72be55be6c53916d62517cf8c9d535a3f6c81d92cc5bc18f12b0& [11:34:31] 🤔 [11:34:39] what the fucl lmao [11:36:39] it's so frustrating that I'm considering quit really, I'm getting flashbacks of my total burnout in 2018 [11:38:30] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227583485376725043/image.png?ex=6628ef36&is=66167a36&hm=83bbf55ca656ed5b6d5b333fd8c1a0570c7e003a1af7204e877107847aad870e& [11:38:42] At least you get shown above fandom 😄 [11:38:55] [1/2] please read again what I saud [11:38:55] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227583587168292916/2024-04-10_14_25_28.png?ex=6628ef4e&is=66167a4e&hm=50741c41e6c78ab440cadf3c8727ceacb2abbefea8b94dc13ee6621275be0ae6& [11:40:45] I did read it [11:40:48] You've submitted a sitemap and everything, right? [11:41:11] ofc I did [11:41:16] all the way in December? [11:41:43] it's all was going well until February [11:41:52] I think it might just be that Google knows the wiki.gg URL and prioritizes it because it has already indexed a lot of their pages [11:41:59] versus your domain which is new [11:42:13] Maybe a stupid question, but does a CategoryTree help on the front page to lure the bot indexing? [11:42:17] I noticed nerfing in February [11:42:43] I added one to mine [11:43:13] we actually had a spike on 24th, because of game release announce and Beta, but it's got back to the ground, and specific queries still don't show the wiki [11:44:02] I tried to contact publishers to at least hit Fandom on claims of official status but it's futile [11:44:42] why tear yourself on something that nobody can even see? [11:45:28] like, I was working so hard to make it good [11:45:58] I even convinced someone to buy domain, because I couldn't [13:04:12] Maybe it is probably because wiki.gg has better overall SEO? [13:05:00] I mean yeah [13:05:00] And it's possible that the gg wiki has completely re-written their content or even started from scratch [13:05:01] but [13:05:21] google is really fucking my instance over at the same [13:05:31] again, since february [13:06:53] like I did everything I could and knew [13:07:22] guess I'll die lol [13:07:27] Idk if it counts, but perhaps another factor has to do with the domain? [13:12:02] That's what I'm thinking [13:12:23] They brides google with da ad money [13:12:27] wiki.gg doesn't employ extraordinary SEO measures, it seems what helps them is their domain [13:12:48] Having wiki as the Domain? [13:14:53] so you suggest me stick to mitaheze? [13:15:18] which won't help me at this point against wiki.gg [13:18:04] Wow everyone is offline [13:19:14] i remember the game gigantic, i was a beta-tester of it for a little while before it got cancelled... and then it came back 😮 [13:20:06] not cancelled, it's has a veeeery complicated history [13:20:22] it was released in 2017 at last, but shutdown roughly a year later [13:21:29] so yeah, I welcome you on gogigantic.wiki lol [13:22:57] Well, guess the french press misunderstood the information but yes, it was shutdown for a problem that i couldn’t remember lol… [13:23:31] it was on brink of cancelation twice [13:23:39] then shutdown post release [13:23:46] Other than that, i had an hard time understanding how that game work lol… also, i can’t play that game because my computer is too weak now [13:24:11] Gtx 770 [13:24:30] my 2011 pc w/ gt430 still handles it well but I had to buy more RAM, yeah, there was another game w/ hard RAM cap [13:24:59] I already my ram maxed out (32gb) [13:25:01] so it was a good investment lol [13:25:33] Now, i cant even play god of war or ratchet & clank.. [13:28:00] Well, hopefully, i will be able to buy a new computer later… if i had enough money that is. [13:45:52] I've enabled UploadWizard and there's this licensing thing from Wikimedia [13:46:09] I assume because I have Commons enabled [13:46:16] any way to remove or change it? [13:46:51] this extension has to have the most confusing mw documentation [14:09:30] @pixldev are you available for a little test? [14:09:52] On mobile [14:10:10] I can test if it works with desktop view [14:10:14] I kind of need someone on PC rather... [14:10:19] Sure, let's try that [14:10:37] can you login on Meta, enable MassPatrol on your gadgets and check if it works? [14:10:41] Sure [14:10:53] I’ll have to remove it from my common js rq [14:10:58] yep [14:13:16] [1/2] and this link redirects me to an empty page on mira commons [14:13:16] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227622429917053059/2024-04-10_17_12_42.png?ex=6629137b&is=66169e7b&hm=1f594f86babe5e097726d9887c7fd4854d29551ca2484a7cbfd0afd74d890bfa& [14:14:00] It expects Commons to be the project namespace for Wikimedia Commons, but here it is an interwiki link to Miraheze commons. [14:14:30] that extension needs a bunch of work to make it non-Wikimedia specific I'm afraid [14:15:14] anyway to change that learn picture at least? [14:21:37] May have to do later my signal kinda sucks [14:28:17] Oh also, I now have 100 attached accounts [14:28:19] Oh boy [14:36:01] Rebrand as WikiCat - because people will Paws to read them, and we have the Purrfect wiki farm for you [14:38:09] When WikiCat says they have the best wiki farm, they mean it, fur real [14:38:49] [1/2] @bluemoon0332 no dice [14:38:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227628863647907961/image0.jpg?ex=66291979&is=6616a479&hm=2d382c104f85d5d8c5318990969b2080ee3cbeb838d53d6492cf4b1fe8343229& [14:38:57] @theoneandonlylegroom I'd also recommend another thing [14:39:09] promoting your wiki on the game's subreddit [14:39:11] or discord server [14:39:13] button appears but does nothing? [14:39:40] you think I haven't done that? [14:39:40] Nice joke. [14:39:43] wait, that's the wrong gadget, that's the mark as patrolled one [14:39:57] I said it, just in case [14:40:35] I hang in this community for years, and I tried to reach everywhere I could, it starting too feel like a joke [14:40:40] hmm [14:40:48] maybe even perhaps post again, since the game was released on steam recently? [14:40:55] right now would be a good time to do so [14:48:41] Oh wait is this a different from the last one where mark as patrolled doubles as patrol all? [14:52:22] wiki recruitment is a tough life and I don't have a consistent formula tbh [14:56:30] If Miraheze rebrands and get a new domain, a lot of links will break. This would be very harmful for the wiki farm! [14:57:29] It’s been explicitly stated that won’t happen [14:57:47] Wikis get to keep their domain [14:59:03] And Miraheze.org would redirect [14:59:38] I didn’t see that. But there are people who think it would be harmful anyways. [15:00:01] without specifics there's not much that can be done about those vague people [15:00:46] There’s a RfF on [[Community Portal]] [15:00:46] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_Portal [15:00:47] [15:01:00] Fuck it I’m making a redirect [15:01:13] as long as redirection is in order things should proceed smoothly from a technical perspective, especially as the only wikis that will get straight converted outright are the 'official' ones [15:01:42] but there'll still be a lot of references to update [15:02:06] [1/4] still seeing my August post circulating, sigh [15:02:06] [2/4] it's really funny, it has Miraheze and WikiTide separately, and people in notes kept bringing up Miraheze shutdown, and I was replying to them we are over it [15:02:07] [3/4] and now WikiTide redirects to Miraheze [15:02:07] [4/4] and then Miraheze gonna redirect to WikiTide lol [15:02:31] now wikitide is the master [15:10:16] They can’t stay decided on who’s top and whoms bottom [15:15:31] oof, licensing option in UW doesn't bring what I already had on Special:Upload [15:17:18] yeah, definitely need a simplified fork of UploadWizard [15:17:27] otherwise it's nice [15:18:08] How so [15:18:36] I dunno, it's very WM Commons centric [15:18:47] if there are setting I'm having a hard to find them [15:19:11] Try looking in the extension source [15:19:12] I'm trying to upload 3 images and it's too complicated on description part lol [15:19:22] extension.json should hold all config settings [15:20:24] Okay never mind [15:20:32] Upload wizard is goofy [15:20:34] Gimmi a sec [15:21:14] Found these https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-UploadWizard/blob/master/UploadWizard.config.php May be useful? [15:25:51] maaaaaan [15:26:35] No idea why they don’t just have normal config options [15:26:36] it suggests to copy fields to other files - yeah, absolutely what I needed [15:26:47] then goes "you gotta feel licensing manually" [15:26:49] bruh [15:26:56] This may also make it impossible to add them go ManageWiki [15:27:00] what the point [15:28:07] Hello all, it's me again. Would you please adding the extension .cat to allowed list for my wiki? Thanks. [15:33:28] who do we reach out to about bot accounts in the discord dm'ing people? [15:34:08] Discord Moderators; a DM is fine if you'd rather not share evidence publicly [15:34:32] i have no problem putting these people on blast [15:34:35] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227642897642553364/image.png?ex=6629268b&is=6616b18b&hm=a51bbe018cdc07c8b192f51e277925bb77db89ebaa0b45550222fba1bc4dc02f& [15:36:59] this is the only mutual server I share with this person [15:38:56] That does seem like the most "polite" scammer I seen in a while xD [15:39:51] it's a bit different from the regular ones I get where they want to sell me art commissions [15:40:45] the 'stressing me out' shit is a good lead in for the type that get you hooked on the 'uh oh everyone's account is gonna get terminated if you don't....' scam [15:41:10] unlucky for them, i have a black heart for internet messages [15:41:24] my block list has a bit of a scroll bar [15:42:10] might need to go to phorge for that one [15:42:23] [1/2] I was going to link this but I notice cat isn't in there [15:42:23] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227644859637305437/image.png?ex=6629285f&is=6616b35f&hm=15c770e79a08f16605c4f621613fd6fd18faa193b20f225f3b1ad106504ca936& [15:43:01] Ohh may I know what's the phorge [15:43:06] [[phorge]] [15:43:06] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/phorge [15:43:07] [15:43:10] lol [15:43:27] Thanks, let me check [15:43:44] now, phorge seems to have been backed up for a while so I would put it on back burner priority for the time being [15:43:45] For the moment I need .cab and .cat unfortunately I can't add these myself [15:44:06] see if you needed .cap that's in there [15:44:20] Noo I never used this kind of file [15:44:49] What are those extensions for [15:45:14] Microsoft Cabinet and Catalog files, mainly used for drivers signing [15:45:15] Digital pet ridesharing? [15:45:17] never heard of the cat one [15:45:21] I do know cabinet [15:45:52] I use them to publish consolidated documents and other kinds of files confirmed to be genuine [15:46:09] zip is an available extension interestingly [15:46:29] Yess [15:46:39] But it's not commonly used by me [15:47:13] cab probably isn't included by default for similar reasons as msi, exe... but I realize you can do 'dat' too [15:47:40] Actually extensions don’t need to be added by an SRE [15:47:48] someone with write access needs to approve it obviously [15:48:01] so it still needs sre to have a look? [15:48:02] But I could possibly add it later today via PR [15:48:20] if you can just do it via pr we could tell li ao to skip the phorge task I suppose [15:48:31] cc @li.ao if you haven't done it yet [15:48:32] I could make a pull request and ask a MWE to merge [15:48:42] I want to confirm it’ll be fine tho [15:48:46] No I'm yet to create a request [15:48:55] Am I need to submit it tho? [15:48:57] let pixel follow up first then I think [15:49:05] if it just gets added in your task will not be needed [15:49:17] @agentisai any issue adding these file extensions in a PR to ManageWiki settings? [15:49:35] I still need to do a pr for the new wiki main page, totally lost my github related stuff [15:49:41] not that I used it much anyway [15:49:52] Actually may not even need to wait till I get home I’ll have a laptop I could use gh code spaces [15:50:03] Gonna have lots of free Time anyways [15:50:05] May as well [15:50:31] There shouldn't be, no [15:50:49] Instead I didn't see an option to create a request for configuration change [15:50:51] alright, skip the phorge task and just check in when that gets merged then [15:51:02] [1/8] All I get are:-- [15:51:03] [2/8] Create Task [15:51:03] [3/8] Feature Request [15:51:03] [4/8] SSL Certificate Request (special cases) [15:51:03] [5/8] Report Security Issue [15:51:04] [6/8] Access Request Form [15:51:04] [7/8] Bug Report [15:51:04] [8/8] Import Request [15:51:06] Bet, I’ll make the PR and leave a message in sre later [15:51:21] Thanks agent [15:51:27] Sounds good [15:51:38] Yes Agent is nicee [15:51:44] I suppose it would be a feature request but again, since pixel is on it you shouldn't need to bother now [15:51:49] Me actually being able to contribute tech wise holy shit!!!! [15:51:55] Thanks [15:52:13] You can make a task and I can claim so you can bump me in my email if I forget [15:52:26] [1/2] cookies if you convert this to a pr [15:52:26] [2/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Raidarr/Main_Page_revision [15:52:43] So again, I need these file types to publish consolidated documents and files. I won't take advantages of this to publish any malicious codes or to distribute software like a download site [15:52:47] Thanks anyways. [15:53:03] seems like a legit use to me [15:53:24] Find me the config setting and mod it priority [15:53:26] I believe this is a legit use as I took look at the Content Policy at time of applying for my wiki [15:53:38] lets see, I know I was staring at it somewhere [15:55:50] [1/2] ah here [15:55:50] [2/2] https://github.com/miraheze/CreateWiki/blob/master/i18n/en.json [15:56:02] gotta get its \ns and so forth [15:57:35] If you want to bump me to not forget make a Phab task using the feature request form and assign PixDeVl (pixDeVl) to the task [15:57:40] For organization sake [15:57:45] Not strictly needed but [16:21:10] https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12034 @raidarr [16:23:38] Making the codespace now [16:25:15] Cat and cab [16:35:19] excellent [16:40:43] :DoneMH: Pull Request Submitted [16:45:27] Merged [16:45:59] @li.ao it should be available soon(ish) I think puppet pulls every half an hour [16:47:47] This is all above my pay grade [16:51:36] It was surprising easy [16:51:41] I just had to add two lines lol [16:52:00] https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/commit/6815e2750aa4570bb7f62c03ffa1a7deb81a28cb [16:52:01] Anyways [16:52:09] # CONGRATULATIONS @raidarr!!!!!!!!$ [16:52:32] https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pikachu-clap-clapping-clapping-gif-gif-13465728489229726846 [16:56:18] danke [16:57:38] You’re fortunate you don’t have to endure that damned blue though [16:59:00] Yeah congrats [16:59:00] just realized mine is practically stew color tbh [17:00:55] Thanks for informing! [17:02:05] I’ll ping ya once it on wiki [17:02:26] Thank you! [17:02:45] Speak of the devil [17:02:49] It’s up 😄 [17:04:00] Got it, thanks! Did you made global change? [17:04:55] I added it to the config for the farm and can see it on meta wiki [17:05:00] It should show up for you [17:05:11] Thank you, so I just need to make changes on my end [17:05:20] Aye [17:06:27] 😋 [17:09:19] @raidarr I’ll see about your thing [17:09:39] I just saved settings on my wiki, thanks for your help!

[17:40:44] I don't think the problem is happening now. [17:41:41] I'm seeing intermittent traffic spikes [17:41:44] It could be that [17:42:08] @raidarr Im making a few small copy edits in the PR cause I’m not logged into meta rn jsyk [17:42:11] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227675008432734258/Screenshot_20240410-124154.png?ex=66294473&is=6616cf73&hm=c8294deb3178885c3e3eab92090df80df7db7ec9c4fb94b1aad451be34bfe9f6& [17:42:18] Feel free to copy them on wiki [17:43:40] np [17:57:44] [1/4] Could someone make an announcement here on Discord about [17:57:44] [2/4] Request for Feedback - Rename Miraheze to WikiTide [17:57:45] [3/4] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_portal#Request_for_Feedback_-_Rename_Miraheze_to_WikiTide [17:57:45] [4/4] I don't think that most of us have seen that this is up. As far as now, only a handful have responded to it, which is in contrast to the 15 who voted at the meeting or how many users there are. [17:58:04] :thistbh: [18:00:00] TIL [[c:]] goes to Wikimedia commons and not Miraheze commons [18:00:00] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ [18:00:01] [18:00:05] Cause no one remembers it exists [18:04:21] Forking [18:11:41] @raidarr 🛎️ [order up!](https://github.com/miraheze/CreateWiki/pull/507) [18:11:49] It’s a draft rn [18:13:19] I do. [18:13:42] the main thing I totally forgot was the blurb for new visitors, that should be appended to what I wrote [18:14:08] O [18:14:13] And this is why we make drafts [18:14:14] hard to tell if formatting is 100% in order when squished but I did manage to tell that at least from the side by side [18:15:17] Google \n to whitespace and paste [18:18:32] Wheres dat [18:19:22] should be able to replace that last \n with `\n\n=== For visitors of this wiki ===\nHello, the default Main Page of this wiki (this page) has not yet been replaced by the bureaucrat(s) of this wiki. The bureaucrat(s) might still be working on a Main Page, so please check again later!` [18:28:28] I'm receiving email notifs from April 5th barely 🤔 [18:30:46] Huh [18:30:58] Id Job Queue waking up or smt [18:31:47] I think so [18:31:58] if that's any indication then jobs are 5 days behind [18:33:43] Backlogs will vary by type of job [18:36:02] funny you mention, https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1227630154126196786 [18:36:30] I saw MikeV's task [18:36:36] didn't you know you directed them to Phorge [18:38:08] Job queue may also need reset I think in the beginning things weren't running much at all and created a pretty large backlog that still hasn't fully caught up. Jobs like that can just be added to the redis queue for now until I improve that more. [18:38:38] there's no runJobs equivalent for Kafka, right? [18:38:43] I recently added the setContainersAccess one [18:38:54] hopefully that will stop all the Swift shenans [18:40:31] There isn't but I'm working on something that extends JobQueueEventBus and provides missing elements like number of jobs for showJobs and to maybe work with runJobs, but it's kinda messy and pulls directly from Kafka so I'm not sure exactly how it'll work. [18:43:00] @raidarr CC from CA’s comment https://github.com/miraheze/CreateWiki/pull/507#pullrequestreview-1992415713 [18:44:11] @agentisai how long is the feedback for rename open [18:48:28] should that have been avoided or [19:00:55] It's not like that was a bad move, it _is_ a technical issue after all [19:01:23] just seeing if it was redundant in that case, or if a different step should be suggested [19:03:49] congrats @raidarr [19:04:15] ty [19:04:39] you now also appear as a GS for those with Waki's MarkAdmins gadget [19:04:49] what is that? [19:04:56] fascinating [19:05:27] Waki, the IA you appointed, they ported their MarkAdmins script to a gadget [19:05:34] oh! [19:05:39] might use that [19:05:40] tis quite neat [19:05:41] well, more like approved the request rather than appointed [19:05:57] I'm like that one guy who steps in with a flip phone in a room full of smartphones when it comes to all the fancy js/gadgets etc [19:06:19] in rc you show as “BrandonWM(A/GR/WC)” [19:06:30] lol [19:06:57] I saw that brandon #announcements [19:07:28] cannot wait to see what Agent looks like [19:07:45] A/S/WC/SRE/T&S/etc [19:07:47] [1/2] like this [19:07:47] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1227696549459394672/image.png?ex=66295882&is=6616e382&hm=40582874c425a6562cddbfda9552b9edda92766bb34678e044ec857c47f87bc0& [19:07:54] that’s not actually that bad [19:08:18] Module:Othergroups/data makes it look like more :p [19:08:59] some are probably on his Agent (Miraheze) account [19:09:05] you can also change the letters [19:09:25] but only we Interface Admins can run the data updater hehehe [19:09:36] oh so its hard coded [19:09:40] yep [19:09:51] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-MarkAdmins-data.json [19:10:01] makes more sense then a shit ton of requests [19:10:11] ah yes [19:10:18] Have ya run for raid gs yet [19:10:24] I don’t even have access to edit it [19:10:39] The point [19:10:42] IAs confirmed to be above sysops [19:10:49] dang [19:11:05] sysop: blocks all IA [19:13:02] 😄 [19:13:18] might request IA solely for that page as I’m usually the only one that keeps the module updated [19:14:27] could maybe make it something that anyone could request to be run automatically [19:14:43] way too much work [19:14:51] yup [19:15:02] it's way easier to just press the MarkAdmins-updater button on the sidebar [19:20:01] oki have [19:20:30] Sorry, didn't really understand that one [19:22:15] Sorry about that. I meant has it been run since Raidarr gained Global Sysop rights [19:22:22] which seems to be yes [19:24:17] I am the type of guy who stands on the train platform, looking in my newspaper or book, while all the rest are on their smart phones 😄 [19:27:30] Im a wild card. Im either on my phone, if I have it laptop(likely for miraheze) or reading [19:28:07] @bluemoon0332 patroller is :DoneMH: [19:28:15] nice [19:28:41] from the looks of it may need to rerun next week lmaoskmeekfowndjrowjckvnwoxidqbfj [19:48:15] @.labster I’m just realizing that what you put on your sysop RfP can’t even be done by sysops [19:48:18] That’s all IA stuff [19:50:00] womp [19:50:30] so I don’t know if sysop is needed for any of it [19:55:57] <.labster> Should I just withdraw then? [19:56:14] <.labster> I keep thinking sysop is like the same as sysop on other wikis [19:56:32] Might be best as it might not be necessary, unless you find a solid use case and amend it [19:56:33] I'm kind of confused about IA myself [19:56:37] but either way, it should be the same as other wikis [19:56:42] I did too [19:56:46] as IA was the WMFs creation [19:56:46] actually [19:56:46] <.labster> But Meta has all of these byzantine rules that make it different from every other mediawiki wiki [19:56:54] I don’t think sysops can edit interface on regular wikis [19:56:56] I don't think that's the case here [19:57:11] On new wikis, rights are granted as sysop, IA, and crat [19:57:15] so it is the same [19:57:17] IA wasn't even a thing until a while ago when the WMF introduced it and I definitely don't recall meta doing anything special [19:57:21] ah yeah that would be it [19:57:33] <.labster> I don't think I've ever had a wiki with an IA. [19:58:52] Yeah, IA was introduced in what, 1.33? [19:58:55] I think probably the pre-IA ones remained the same [19:58:58] so ATT would be one of those [19:59:29] the ia thing was introduced somewhat more recently I could have sworn [19:59:39] I'm surprised it took hold on meta [19:59:53] eh yeah [20:00:02] may as well in favor of IA [20:00:03] I have in the more recent versions [20:00:08] yep [20:00:10] which also with IA [20:00:12] sysops can grant [20:00:16] but revoke [20:00:27] it’s all weird [20:00:40] meta rights might need a revamp [20:00:44] They can revoke, not at their discretion, but only during emergencies [20:00:51] i.e. compromised account [20:00:53] yeah, it's not _that strange_ [20:00:54] yeah, emergency use is valid [20:01:22] patroller vs autopatrol is the big one likely to come to a head at some point tbh [20:01:26] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Interface_administrators#Revocation [20:01:49] <.labster> Nope, sysops have interface rights in new wikis too [20:02:44] got it [20:02:52] really?? [20:03:07] do you mean stuff like "editsitejs"? [20:03:18] because "editinterface" is also available to sysops on Meta [20:03:29] <.labster> https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWikiDefaultPermissions/sysop [20:03:30] yeah that ^ [20:03:53] yeah there's no site JS there either [20:03:55] <.labster> They have all of the IA rights [20:04:11] not editsitejs and editsitecss [20:04:12] <.labster> It's just Meta which is a special snowflake [20:04:18] Nope... [20:04:26] <.labster, replying to reception123> read the page [20:04:43] Maybe I'm missing something but I see "editsitejs" in unassigned? [20:04:58] editsitejson is oddly in assigned [20:05:21] I assumed "editinterface" was enough but when I asked BWM he said he can't edit JS gadget pages [20:05:24] <.labster> Oh huh, I guess I saw editsitej* and stopped reading [20:05:51] that's json, I honestly don't get why sysops would have just editsitejson [20:06:02] Congrats @raidarr [20:06:08] did someone make a mistake when we set up default perms? or was it just thought that JSON is less harmful? [20:06:18] json poses no threat [20:06:38] fair enough, I figured that out after [20:06:38] CSS + JS do so only IA should have them [20:07:22] Yeah now I'm remembering the whole debate from a few years ago... that basically most admins aren't good with CSS/JS so there should be a new group for that [20:08:22] yeah I can’t do JS or JSON or CSS [20:08:26] <.labster> The group is literally called "system operator" why are there people there not good with JS or CSS? [20:08:28] or some MW interface weirdly [20:08:47] ask the WMF [20:09:00] they've been wanting to rename `sysop` for years now [20:09:02] <.labster> they should have split sysop and admin [20:09:04] maybe even over a decade [20:09:24] really should just be called admin shouldn't it [20:09:31] Yes [20:09:33] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T18737 [20:09:34] yeah tbh it's a terrible name as most supposed "sysops" know little to nothing about actual system operation [20:09:38] sysop is another thing that translated poorly to my forum-first brain [20:09:39] 2008 Phab task 🥳 [20:09:47] and people still confuse SRE with "sysop" and I can't blame them [20:09:50] danke [20:10:02] but what's the thing about json anyway, never got it in context of wiki [20:10:08] I know a little about running a website [20:10:10] if it could be no threat what is the point [20:10:12] by 2088 it'll probably be resolved [20:10:58] <.labster> Should I comment there that they should also rename "interface administrator" to sysop? [20:11:04] eh [20:11:05] I'm surprised they managed to pull off changing `oversight` to `suppress` [20:11:08] might not be worth the hassle [20:11:09] @raidarr I mean there could a threat later [20:11:20] I'm not sure how the right for community config work [20:14:30] Excuse me but I still have dead images on a wiki for several days, I should do an action myself to fix the problem? It's not a reproach, just a question. [20:15:22] <.labster> Can you post a link to your wiki? [20:15:37] what even is it in context of mediawiki [20:15:47] Of course [20:16:04] <.labster> You'll probably need to do `/auth` first [20:16:12] There's a few things that use JSON [20:16:17] Nothing scary though [20:16:31] Mostly lua stuff's data pages at moment [20:16:50] Shall I post the action here? [20:16:56] <.labster> sure [20:17:39] keke [20:18:07] but anyway @.labster if you did withdraw I have no doubt that some active steward would grant IA (if @reception123 is around?) [20:18:13] to me that feels wrong since those supports are for you as a notquitesysop [20:18:15] and maybe eventually we’ll just combine the two anyway :p [20:18:15] Do I have to wait a while for the role? [20:18:23] for? [20:18:29] if someone would have opposed you as an IA seems wrong [20:18:35] hmm? [20:18:40] alsi @.labster your website is borked smh smh [20:18:51] For the "authenticated" role [20:19:00] #verify [20:19:09] It should be automatically granted once you verify [20:19:47] yeah [20:19:56] Okay [20:19:57] https://sherlockholmes.wikitide.org/wiki/Germany [20:23:45] <.labster, replying to pixldev> I meant reply to the mediawiki ticket. My name isn't mentioned on that page. [20:24:34] pardon? [20:25:18] <.labster> https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T18737 do keep up [21:39:42] thank you so much, i really appreciate it!!
