[01:25:08] Yep, seconded [01:25:14] oh my bad [01:25:24] all good 🙂 [01:25:37] No problem [01:25:42] technically the global user page won't display as it's not under the same page name [01:25:43] @serverlessharej mind if I reopen your mod request? [01:25:48] or would you prefer it's closed [01:26:08] You beat me to requesting deletion :I [01:26:25] Feel free to re-open [01:26:40] oh cool 🙂 [01:53:01] was going to manually archive stuff on the noticeboards today but far too late for that on my end [02:02:20] No worries, you're a busy guy. [02:02:23] Get some rest [02:11:01] [1/3] What I need seems to be the exact opposite of Wikibot and WikiAuthbot. I'm looking for a way to link my NEW Wiki to an Existing Discord server full of hundreds of verified users to set up accounts painlessly on the the New Wiki. It currently only has me as user! It would assing roles in the Wiki that exist in Discord, this would ask users to log into Discord using a process li [02:11:01] [2/3] ke OAuth2 to get their discord server list, and if our Discord server is found the Server Roles on it. It would create a new users and assign roles if the user is found and no corresponding wiki user is found. [02:11:01] [3/3] After the first time the user might continue to use Oauth to login or use their wiki user. [02:49:24] Unfor [02:51:57] Are you able to set up oauth2? [03:49:08] thought someone died for a sec [03:50:17] [1/3] just saying, I don't oppose other people editing/updating the guide lol [03:50:17] [2/3] I just can't think of what else to add but advanced PI coding examples like [03:50:17] [3/3] or how to make it sound even more simpler (I tried) [04:00:51] Setting that up would be great. Do you have link to docs? [04:13:43] [1/3] So on this page it's still missing the lines and it's the original image, but if you actually click it it's the updated version with the lines, do I just have to wait for it to update? I've been waiting like two days ngl, little confused [04:13:43] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232907367474004001/Screenshot_20240424-231149_Chrome.jpg?ex=662b29f6&is=6629d876&hm=4a926ac084a49745e217e4fdc445721cf57168eea3acedaa729b7b046c10d237& [04:13:43] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232907367876792420/Screenshot_20240424-231154_Chrome.jpg?ex=662b29f6&is=6629d876&hm=597854108edb27c10e8a3df19c138349ac55772be698852073e87e319294d67c& [04:16:32] have you cleared the cache of the page yet? [04:22:46] I think so? Just incase how do you do that? [04:23:59] add `?action=purge` to the end of the url [04:29:44] [1/2] Ok noob question but: Creating pages from scratch. I'm trying to help a friend start up their wiki by providing some infoboxes but I cannot find a 'create page' type button anywhere. With editing the T&B Wiki we haven't needed to create any new pages during the move, so I completley forgot abt the lack of a 'create page' button. [04:29:44] [2/2] Now I'm not an admin on this new wiki so I can't change any settings or whatever so how do I create a page in this scenario? Template or otherwise? [04:31:12] Didn't work, weirdly only doesn't pop up on that specific page, it's updated on other pages though [04:34:34] [1/2] Go to page you want to create, Is ↓ this link available? [04:34:34] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232912613034299402/image.png?ex=662b2ed9&is=6629dd59&hm=4bafe43e9d2f134c341dd30d7cac3e837b563e764c5f48761f479f72f801cc4c& [04:34:51] could you link the page this is happening on? [04:35:43] Scroll down to Zazari https://kaizenriteshon.miraheze.org/wiki/Kaizenrit%C4%93shon_Clan [04:36:05] [1/2] looks normal to me :ThinkerMH: [04:36:05] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232912998264344636/image.png?ex=662b2f35&is=6629ddb5&hm=80d3cb4c30d62883a785b61c7ca306437dd17dbf9da8bd7a83c9aea604925e9b& [04:36:30] Bruh, computer being googy I guess lol [04:36:32] but it could also be because i'm not logged in, if so it's a cache issue [04:37:08] [1/2] Sorry, still deprogramming from fandom, since on there page creation was as easy as clicking on the create page and putting in a title (which is, a little too easy). [04:37:09] [2/2] Is the only way to make a page being to search for one that doesn't exist or follow a red link? [04:37:47] [1/2] iirc there's extension which add "Create page" button or link [04:37:48] [2/2] alternatively, Cosmos skin has that on itsown [04:38:19] I cleared the cache, I'll just have to see tomarrow [04:41:28] try inputbox for ease of use [04:41:41] been having the same issue, have purged the page like 5 times and cleared my browser cache just as many times, the image still isn't updating [04:42:02] and i'm not the only one having that happen on my wiki. mostly just confused [04:42:27] I'll see what I can do with this information for my friend's Wiki, since I'm not admin on it [04:42:31] a very large amount of content is being cached, do you have multipurge enabled? that will allow you to clear the page cache [04:42:42] uhh if that's an extension the answer is no [04:42:56] it's been happening on and off for the past few days [04:43:00] O.o using cloudflare but not multipurge? [04:43:24] i am not very familiar with the available extensions admittedly [04:43:26] wiki content at the moment is being rather aggressively cached so... [04:43:32] ah 😔 [04:43:52] i'll let CA know in morning to get multipurge installed [04:44:12] wait do you mean on my own wiki or like. a mira wide thing? [04:44:21] i just haven't checked that on my own wiki [04:44:42] oh it is installed [04:44:50] at least on meta [04:45:25] searching in the extensions manager doesn't bring it up, is that something i have to install? [04:47:29] it might be global [04:48:16] [1/2] @verityoffaith do you see a link called "Purge cache" anywhere? [04:48:16] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232916062958522422/image.png?ex=662b320f&is=6629e08f&hm=3793de120f20c4f2cf6cc88879df03969d247699093fc0e90d7952d1656965ae& [04:48:24] [1/2] it should show up here on a search, then? o ram i doing something wrong :ThinkerMH: [04:48:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232916098865823785/image.png?ex=662b3218&is=6629e098&hm=28c1c2da14acb2d72e845f36add69907a44919f737aaacf2766565232f70b8e2& [04:48:32] there's the purge button, but not purge cache [04:48:45] not that [04:48:49] @elliethepwincess Do a local hard reload on your browser or try another browser. [04:48:56] purge cache tells multipurge to clear the page cache in cloudflare [04:49:01] okay then no [04:49:17] what skin are you on? [04:49:29] vector legacy [04:49:30] it might be in a dropdown [04:49:36] it is not in the dropdown [04:49:50] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232916456212008981/image.png?ex=662b326d&is=6629e0ed&hm=639a4b217843a969323568cbd00798bf72f9c81136ab700f94dbd138fd637384& [04:50:17] which wiki, give url [04:50:27] https://rainworldmods.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [04:52:23] suppose it's about time i figure this out before this is relevant for any actually important images [04:54:57] can you locate managewiki? [04:55:34] https://rainworldmods.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki [04:55:42] yeah [04:55:51] check if multipurge is available [04:56:13] where would it be if so? [04:56:23] at first glance i don't see anything of the sort [04:56:31] are you admin? [04:56:40] admin and 'crat [04:56:51] screenshot what you see [04:58:40] [1/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232918678828220486/image.png?ex=662b347f&is=6629e2ff&hm=cb2170a028cc3eef5990ba294f31a0bbaa2929e2811582da8f0d76aed097eee7& [04:58:40] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232918679176478732/image.png?ex=662b347f&is=6629e2ff&hm=08f31d1144cc47af625838626d1802bfd8947e21137e3ead8923758155bddb12& [04:58:43] is it not an extension? [04:58:48] where should it be? [05:00:35] [1/3] which of these is you? [05:00:36] [2/3] Lurzard talk contribs‏‎ (bureaucrat, interface administrator, administrator) (Created on 24 July 2023 at 22:53) [05:00:36] [3/3] Stardustshimmers talk contribs‏‎ (bureaucrat, administrator) (Created on 12 August 2023 at 04:48) [05:01:20] the latter [05:02:04] you are bcrat and you get same view as a visitor? [05:02:12] ... apparently [05:02:19] now i'm confused [05:02:28] lurzard made the wiki, but i was told previously that there's not really an 'owner' of a wiki [05:02:40] if i have 'crat i should have access to basically everything, right? [05:02:51] depending on how its set up [05:02:55] ugh [05:02:57] maybe that's why [05:16:03] [1/2] As far as I can tell there is no way to enable Oauth on a private Miraheze wiki. I've read about central auth and that plugable auth is blacklisted. I read the meidawiki docs on Oauthauth but those instructions require cli access. I need to also have rules as well as require oauth login to discord. I searchd for Oauthauth in the extentions that can be enabled without much luck. I sear [05:16:04] [2/2] ched core settings for "auth" and did not find anything. That seems unlilkely to be true. [05:20:12] [1/2] if you might help me or can confirm that what I want is not practical please read this whole message and and acknowlege you understand what I am trying to do. I keep getting suggestions that are not helpful. [05:20:12] [2/2] What I need seems to be the exact opposite of Wikibot and WikiAuthbot. I'm looking for a way to link my NEW Wiki to an Existing Discord server full of hundreds of verified users to set up accounts painlessly on the the New Wiki.  [05:23:01] [1/2] do you have their email to send a temporary password? [05:23:01] [2/2] i'm sure you could build the url to generate accounts based on discord username using excel [05:31:10] No. They are all users on a discord server. I could send it via discord pm. [05:33:31] why can't they just go register themselves? [05:33:39] then have wikibot confirm? [05:38:30] wikibot confirms that discord users are on the wiki not that wiki users are on discord and have roles there before being given roles on the wiki [05:39:10] Its for when you want to verify new discord users that are already wiki users. It does not work the other way or am i missing something? [05:42:15] What do you mean, where would I set up oauth2? I could to it for a website on a server platform I control. Not sure how that would help me though. [05:47:41] Thinking it though, after they create an account and then verify it with the wiki bot.. Will it post something to Discord? Then I can manually assign them a role that allows them access on the wiki. [05:55:01] Is there really a need to be this complex? [05:55:16] [1/2] It's too bad you can't smoothly create and integrate a wiki with a discord server. So many discord users try to use discord for reference material when it's not the right tool. Being able to smoothly integrate a wiki would be extremely useful and a good way to expand Miraheze user and support base. It's not impossible to get that to work with the monolithic central auth system but it [05:55:16] [2/2] seems it would take a development effort. [05:55:44] Spies are part of the game we play [05:55:48] so YEAH [05:55:58] This sounds like a 1 off request for a specialty bot [05:56:12] Used once and rarely if ever again [05:56:57] If all in server are verified then give them the wiki link [05:57:53] Sereously. Do you think Miraheze has more users or Discord? I would think the miraheze community would want to convert some discord users. [05:58:50] If I need to send links to people, I use a copy-paste message [05:59:04] Only Some of the users would be able to edit some of the namespaces [06:00:29] Ok so the wiki is a roleplay spy game? [06:00:41] No it's call of dragons [06:00:50] Like spies in guild wars? [06:00:52] But yes there are spies [06:01:11] i think so. @theburningfirethatscorchessouls [06:01:46] Typical. [06:01:49] I'm not the one very concerned about spies but we have players that are obsessed with this. [06:02:02] Whether it's spies or dragons, you want to turn a discord server into a full blown role play wiki? [06:02:07] It's extreamly typical of many games. [06:02:25] Tbh if you want people to use a wiki, one way could be a copy paste message (I use macros) [06:02:34] Thats why having a private wiki that is easitly integrated with discord would be perfect. [06:03:45] There's no existing integration to link discord to mediawiki and with how people get scammed out of discord account, I wouldn't ever advise building such a app [06:04:02] Discord bots need maint as well [06:04:39] @m3w I posted one to the chat eariler but pluginauth has been blacklisted so it won't work. [06:06:15] It's a very neat use case for sure, but pretty far outside any easy pre-baked solution we have to my knowledge, unfortunately. [06:07:41] I'm a web developer. 😆 Custom definitely does take time to bake. I do understand the tech and methods to make things work, Just not how they work on Miraheze. Python, PHP, linux admin, javascript, Rust and go are not problems.. but it does take time to implement custom solutions. [06:08:26] Thanks. That is the confirmatoin I am looking for @notaracham [06:09:57] If your discord can fund self hosting, you can install whatever you want [06:10:15] Custom stuff could be made by freelancers, but that costs money [06:10:35] For now I can get users to create Miraheze accounts. If the wikibot will send a notice to an integrated channel i can then grant the verified accounts permissions here. [06:11:20] I think that could workm [06:11:57] @theburningfirethatscorchessouls i am frelancer... but i don't have time right now and don't know your "centralauth" system so that registered accounts can be used for any wiki on the system. I also don't know if there is some database where the verified discord user number could be stored. [06:13:11] I do not think Miraheze has such a database, and the auth system is pretty complex I thinkl [06:15:16] Yes It really sounds like its complex. They must have control so that they can manage the wikis when necessary. It would need to be set up so that any private wiki that enable the plugin would be able to create rules that assign roles given roles on a selected discord server. If users already are on Miraheze it must deal with that case. [06:18:11] Such a plugin on the Miraheze side would have to pass a "is this code safe" test. [06:19:06] Yes definitely. I can understand why something as unrestricted as pluginauth was not approved. [06:23:25] Yes. I decided it's too much admin overhead to spin up a server on digialocean linode .... I think we are better off with Miraheze. [06:24:51] I now see what you are saying about using wikibot. I'm going to test it out with my non-admin user and see how it goes. [06:25:43] I prefer self hosting, but then again, I have all day to work on my wiki [06:26:04] What is your wiki ? 🙂 [06:26:27] https://taerel.com/taerelworkshop/index.php/Endather_Forsaken_Forest [06:26:30] I want to have a personal wiki after starting to work on this one fo rmy allaince [06:27:31] About? [06:29:07] Just to organize all my thoughts and ideas. Something local is probabaly fine. I think I used zimnotes a few years ago that uses wiki underneath. It's too bad that markdown and become the lowest common denominator for simplified markup. Wiki is so much more powerful. [06:32:02] Ok but I don't understand this: OATHAuth – Important security feature, used for implementing 2-factor authentication on https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Extensions [06:33:21] it's an extension for 2fa [06:33:39] OATHAuth - 2FA / OAuth - for using 1 website to login to another [06:35:17] Problem I see with OAuth is if one account is hacked, it is possable they all are [06:35:22] We wouldn't be able to have you store stuff arbitrarily in our database. You'd be best just recording it on wiki in a structured format in my opinion. Discord ID -> Miraheze Username isn't private info. [06:36:01] There are risks yes, 2FA is one way to help as that could be different. [06:36:12] Wait. I think it is possable to read data off a wiki page [06:36:14] The advent of stuff like passkeys is also better [06:36:49] Because you have one token you can use to login anywhere but it makes hacking an account near on impossible [06:37:00] As the bit shared with the website is completely unique [06:37:12] Unless you can hack the place the token is stored [06:39:06] Webauthn @rhinosf1 is most secure FIDO security key. Yes. My usecase does not have the need for something as secure as that. It's better than password authenticaion because it can't be replayed and the private key is stored in the device itself and can not be read. [06:39:19] Yes it is [06:40:22] It is also potentially easier to use but the keys are to expensive. [06:41:59] Not really [06:42:04] Oh my word I went to pick up a print book today. It cost twice as much as it use to. JavaScript a definitive guide was $79.99 [06:42:20] So I supose in that context.. .maybe not. [06:42:24] All Apple devices can now store built in passkeys for authentication using Webauthn [06:42:34] I assume Android also can [06:42:45] No i don't think so with andriod [06:43:03] I would hope so cause google support passkeys [06:43:05] I remember "plug in the YubiKey on the pastel landyard when the computer prompts" [06:43:18] Google are a big supporter of passwordless auth [06:45:15] Maybe it can. Especially if it has finger print auth [06:47:57] Android 9 or above [07:07:07] [1/2] there's an issue with the login again [07:07:08] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232951007185735680/image.png?ex=662b529b&is=662a011b&hm=42841664ea044b7aaffe7dc65a7090d9546d6346e5261c9cf42e663b7e0fcbdc& [08:08:41] [1/2] @solodayheavenofficial silicona tried to go steward, when you was away, and maybe something else later [08:08:42] [2/2] and tbh, your hiatus was pretty big, hence my "too soon" [09:11:16] Really?

[09:56:39] [1/2] My friend tried ImageMagick on his self-hosting wiki, but it has some issue on rendering [09:56:39] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1232993670270029834/Image_1714038955221.png?ex=662b7a56&is=662a28d6&hm=bdb93154341b10dc0e797feaba37d5a09508085c16e9cf87194f5206b7bfe51e& [09:58:18] speaking of silicona [09:58:19] now this is a good suggestion they posted [10:13:28] Hello, does MediaWiki allow not including the References list in articles? [10:13:49] I tried removing it but to no avail, it just appears at every time [10:21:43] Where? [10:27:21] if you're using `` (and ``) tags on a page a list will appear ofc [10:27:56] Is this automatically showing up regardless of page source? [10:44:22] if the page source has these tags, or perhaps a template which uses them [10:44:39] Got it [11:05:57] [11:41:47] [1/4] I agree with this split. But i noticed that you say there are two pages already. [11:41:48] [2/4] [11:41:48] [3/4] And Meta community portal. [11:41:48] [4/4] I think we should connect pages with links and visually so we don't have several pages but people flock to one page because don't know the others [12:09:11] [1/2] Is there problem with the thumbnails? [12:09:12] [2/2] I tried update a newer version of the image, purging both the file page and wiki page, deleting and reuploading again but it still shows the old thumbnail. 🤔 [12:11:44] no, they are different, but they were given similar names, and that is confusing [12:12:25] I agree that is confusing [12:15:09] initially did not like exploding the community portal out into three pieces but imo there is a merit to combining both portals for policy/community discussion stuff, and having help requests go on its dedicated page [12:18:16] update on it: the thumbnails is correct but when i click on it to open the link (something like /d/dd/Filename.png), it is still the old image [12:19:15] i think the server hosting that image for some reason doesn't update it [12:35:17] Try purging the filepage [12:35:33] [1/3] add ```?action=purge``` behind the websites url [12:35:33] [2/3] wiki/pagename?action=purge [12:35:33] [3/3] replace pagename with the page you are on [12:36:06] So File:xxx.png or similar [12:38:44] Also, can I have a link jump directly to a specific section? [12:43:41] Table of contents [12:45:25] [1/2] yes, i already did that [12:45:26] [2/2] the image + thumbnail on file page are correct, but the wiki page using the image + the direct link to that image still show the old one [12:45:50] `[[Page name#Section name]]` [12:45:50] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Page_name#Section_name [12:46:04] Thanks [12:49:38] even if i use that command on the direct link, it changes to the newest one but then returns to the one when i close the page [12:52:56] Please try to view the page in an incognito/private window. See if the image appears correct. [12:53:12] Meaning as a logged out user [12:54:22] tried edge and firefox, same thing [12:54:32] (both are logged out) [12:55:10] does this change at all when logged in? [12:55:18] if correct when logged in we can squarely blame cloudflare [12:56:03] nothing changes except the file page displaying the image itself [12:56:44] there's a number of rogue caching issues that appear, what comes to mind is maybe jobs are just being slow right now [12:56:45] that's why i was wondering if it's somehow server's fault [12:57:16] it's the sort of thing I'd honestly wait on for a bit because sre is very very strained and would not be able to do much investigating unless the bug strikes them when they see this convo [12:57:39] besides purging I can't think of many more options you'd have to try and force the latest to appear [13:01:16] [1/2] I've only now gotten around to trying this and the only thing the nowiki thing does is fix the first bullet point not working. If the bullet points aren't showing at all, that doesn't change anything. [13:01:17] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1233040131196190760/image.png?ex=662ba59c&is=662a541c&hm=e383dce3dce25916bc358fcdca758e422e0df57419f103e0d7b40d602c13407c& [13:20:03] I'll have to do more tests, though. The fix works on pages with only two tabbers it seems, [13:20:23] What do you think of pure black or pure white backgrounds on wikis? [13:24:10] Fine as options or the default, but should probably be changed in some form later down the line. The colour doesn;t even need to be changed, a low opacity image as a bg can often work. [13:25:11] I prefer daqrk grey or off-white [13:29:46] Yea, that is easier on the eyes [13:43:21] Did you CSS that theme yourself [13:44:37] Unfortunately no. We haven't gotten the hang of that yet. But if you enable cosmos skin you can easily change the colours of that to test colour schemes if you need. [13:46:15] What kinda colors/style was you thinking? [13:46:29] Hello, I created a wiki, and was in process of setting it up. I forgot the name of the wiki or how I can find it. My username on Miraheze is ArsenalFan, that was the administrator of the wiki. I searched my emails, no clue either [13:46:41] (This was in 2019) [13:49:41] Might be deleted from system [13:50:11] Thats fine, want it deleted [13:50:26] But how would i see a list of wikis I administer? [13:50:41] [[Special:CentralAuth/ArsenalFan]] [13:50:41] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/ArsenalFan [13:50:42] [13:51:04] It doesn’t look like anything is there [13:51:07] no wikis appear to exist in which you are admin [13:51:15] it may have been dropped if it went inactive/deleted a longer time ago [13:51:25] fine, i deserved it [13:51:34] wikis which are deleted but are not dropped (ie, easy undelete by stewards) will appear in CentralAuth [13:51:54] no thats perfect, I was feeling bad about wasting MH resources [13:52:05] and yeah I just saw 2019 so long gone then, but if it was public you may find it on archive.org in an older collection [13:52:06] I'm about to start a new project, will start a fresh [13:52:27] all good, no info was there, i was getting familiar with being a wiki administrator [13:52:36] fair [13:52:47] Cheers guys, and thanks for this amazing project [13:53:00] if you still get the bug to test there is https://publictestwiki.com/wiki/TestWiki [13:53:08] np, best of luck with your project [13:55:33] [1/2] This was the wiki you created in 2019 [13:55:33] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1233053790748409866/IMG_0664.png?ex=662bb254&is=662a60d4&hm=d1305824cb9346f6b9de16e84e1dd69c3ff12fa1cece2d6d75172a7522e4ab2f& [14:01:58] process has really changed since then ei [14:05:04] Huh, currently looking at the page myself to see and all the bullet points actually appear on my end :ThinkerMH: [15:00:45] ......https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Requests_for_Comment/Community_portal what [15:05:43] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_portal#Request_for_Feedback:_Spilt_Community_portal_into_Village_pump,_Help_desk_and_The_Teahouse [15:05:48] I did warn him it was not a good idea [15:06:31] Well I, Reception, NA, and Agent have all been clear in talk page messages that they must receive explicit approval of a sysop before posting an RfC of any kind [15:06:35] once again a potentially useful idea is mangled to the point it needs to return to the drawing board [15:06:42] Clearly that was not the case here.... [15:06:44] was 'you must consult a meta admin before posting' spelled out? [15:06:53] Should be on the talk page [15:07:02] I'll confirm [15:07:46] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:Silicona#Admonishment_and_final_warning_on_creating_Requests_for_Comment this is what I have [15:08:03] I see strong advisement not to create without consultation; his latest rfc fits the letter of that warning but not the spirit [15:08:30] "consult the community if it's a good idea" [15:08:32] yeah [15:09:07] my personal take is that a substantially more firm 'just run it by a sysop' is the next step because he simply does not get the issue with how he's been proceeding and the 'run it by community portal' venue is inadequate to vet through his propositions [15:09:10] There was https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_portal#Request_for_Feedback:_Spilt_Community_portal_into_Village_pump,_Help_desk_and_The_Teahouse [15:09:36] yes but it seems overall feedback was negative [15:09:49] probably that's what I'd go with [15:09:52] some support for the broad theme, heavy disagreement on method [15:09:58] yeah [15:10:15] the problem with making a draft that way is that a draft like that is basically unsalvageable unless tossed and rewritten [15:11:15] drafting needs to be set up in a way that it can be revised from scratch if need be; I'm afraid the current model of drafting makes it difficult or results in coming off as rude/uncourteous if how the draft is structured is plain bad and it needs to go back to the pre-structure drawing board [15:11:31] hmm yeah [15:11:48] perhaps having 'variants' of an rfc would be a way to address this (since the issue is beyond silicona's particular proposals despite them being consistently case in point) [15:12:30] like multiple drafts of one idea and then we pick one to go through? [15:12:45] something like that I think would be a useful innovation [15:13:17] the draft page may even become a hub with variants presented outright if the original layout is contested, but I'm unsure how to do this without making it bureaucratic/overcomplicated [15:13:30] you'll need an RfC to do that 😅 [15:13:52] that's the thing, there should be flexibility in the process in a way that an rfc itself ironically would muddle [15:14:17] it's not a problem if the rfc is well formulated in the first place, @serverlessharej has some of the best rfc structure I've seen [15:14:59] but you get someone who's plain less savvy making proposals in a muddled way and it gets ugly real quick and very difficult to correct the course. I suppose unless this latest rfc is scrapped altogether, the structure discussion needs to be made on its talk page [15:15:14] I could just scrap it I suppose [15:15:19] since it comes to mind there is rarely a centralized 'overall discussion hub' [15:15:46] perhaps that is what could be done since scrapping is too abrupt: have an overall pre-voting discussion section where structure is discussed, and that can then be closed off when voting begins and the structure is finalized [15:15:47] [1/6] Ok now something weird is happening. [15:15:48] [2/6] We did the documentations a while ago but if we wanna edit them the visuals will break.

[15:21:29] 	  Interesting
[15:22:27] 	  not that i know of? 
 is a html tag that means preformatted so it keeps line breaks and stuff,  is a wiki thing and just means it doesnt treat it as wikitext and wouldnt have kept single line breaks
[15:23:24] 	  [1/2] i want to update on this issue, it's now happening to every picture i upload
[15:23:25] 	  [2/2] is anyone having the same problem like me? 😵‍💫
[15:44:44] 	  https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_Comment/Community_portal#Structure_of_this_RfC here we go
[15:44:51] 	  wrote it all quickly so it may not be as clear as I would like
[15:45:41] 	  I'm currently busy writing up another draft of something so I can't comment immediately on-wiki, but will get to it
[15:46:22] 	  looking at the original discussion, perhaps @rodejong @suzuneu @pixldev or @theoneandonlylegroom have thoughts?
[15:57:14] 	  [1/2] My Template:Multiple image just became like this one day and have not changed back.
[15:57:14] 	  [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1233084414334996551/image.png?ex=662bced9&is=662a7d59&hm=14fa67cb1fb92168f7c95e0c1d1273bf14db7b85ffece6097c3a385edff4c4e3&
[15:57:21] 	  no borders
[15:57:37] 	  on https://omnipaedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Neragon
[16:25:24] 	  know I've said this before, but I do think wiki creator needs to be reconsidered as a "entry-level" type of volunteer role https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_permissions#Collei_(Wiki_creator)
[16:26:11] 	  It requires a lot of policy knowledge and development within that, and I'd honestly prefer we overall transition to perhaps having patroller be that entry level role, or global rollbacker (if it stays how it is)
[16:26:15] 	  My 2c
[16:26:19] 	  anyone agree? 😅
[16:27:39] 	  GR needs deleting
[16:27:46] 	  Patroller is meh
[16:34:08] 	  patroller needs more straight up purpose to be a useful 'entry level' role
[16:34:29] 	  it adds no more in my book than patroller; in the case of GR there is at least opportunity to get hands on familiar with CVT affairs
[16:36:16] 	  but not sure how then we get entry level roles
[16:36:41] 	  dunno what the WMF looks like but odds are we probably don't have that size
[16:49:43] 	  'entry level roles' is something I am a little iffy about in the first place - entry level really comes down to being an asset in ways that can be done with absolutely no roles anyway
[16:50:01] 	  it is through that which many have gone on to be GS and other things
[16:51:18] 	  being role-oriented I think is a problem although it's difficult to say how to resolve that one - half the whole thing is demonstrating you have a sense of judgement and are willing to work with others, the technical bits be it for wiki creator, cvt, sre then come when those things are established and no role inherently makes that easier, especially something 'entry level'
[16:53:04] 	  [1/2] what's needed more imo is it being more obvious to contribute in the way I'm describing - the ways are there but people don't necessarily know them well or may not have particular goals to reach for. Someone was talking the other day about a guide to entry level SRE stuff, @pixldev I think? That's the sort of entry I think is most useful. Should hats be considered which are then usef
[16:53:05] 	  [2/2] ul but don't necessarily involve a full on NDA or truly sensitive access, yeah I reckon so, but there's a lot that can be done without them in the meantime
[16:53:24] 	  people who are looking more at roles and less at utility with or without them imo miss the point
[16:58:24] 	  Perhaps volunteers both community and SRE side can start drafting docs such as "How to get involved"
[16:58:29] 	  SRE-side I'd say more so
[17:02:57] 	  better to carefully draft it rather than rush it. get it correct the first time 🙂
[17:04:45] 	  in this case of CA needing emergency assistance, perhaps some of the formal procedures can be waived provided qualified individuals can prove their skills
[17:05:04] 	  I don't think there are that many formal procedures tbh
[17:05:17] 	  It's just a Phorge access request, NDA, and you're set I think
[17:05:34] 	  previously there was a questionaire back and forth
[17:06:10] 	  hmmm
[17:06:31] 	  and another note is, some may not be as comfortable providing personal details on basis of assisting
[17:07:16] 	  tbf we can't really grant out MWE/infra shell access without an NDA
[17:46:53] 	 I want to start on my approved wiki, I wanna start making section ,but I really dont know how
[17:47:50] 	  Please check  for general formatting help ^^
[17:57:46] 	  How do we get the announcement ping role?

[17:58:20] 	  Thx
[17:58:34] 	  this is a key principle of privacy for me (the user has a responsibility on this themselves), but alas it's still a thing people do and that fact needs to factor in whatever technical solution is considered

[18:00:47] 	  I can’t make a guide on sre though cause I’m not educated in being an sre
[18:03:04] 	  [1/2] yeah, same here. I set the same for wiki that I host or assist with thus eliminating the concern.
[18:03:05] 	  [2/2] if such data is already collected by Miraheze, could just hide those preferences then run sql queries to clear the collected data from database thus eliminating the issue
[18:03:29] 	  simply reset those columns to defaults
[18:04:18] 	  Socialprofile is a particular offender on those things from what I recall

[18:15:47] 	  So how do I get the ping role without the built in discord button ?
[18:17:37] 	  not exactly an extension I would recommend but maybe modification can be made to prevent as well
[18:19:48] 	  @originalauthority was working on a total rebuild for it, dunno how that's gone lately though
[18:21:05] 	  Its 99% finished just some weird bug that wont let the username be edited
[18:25:41] 	  I could see something like that being incredibly useful
[19:20:35] 	  @brandon.wm
[19:20:39] 	  i need help
[19:20:47] 	  has agent shown any sign of activity recently?
[19:20:55] 	  his discord account has been deleted and he owns the polandball wiki discord
[19:21:00] 	  this was completely without warning
[19:22:46] 	  he resigned from Miraheze/WikiTide
[19:22:54] 	  Oh shit
[19:23:19] 	  Well his account hasn’t been deleted yet
[19:23:40] 	  That takes 2 weeks, but he set his name and pfp to deleted use
[19:24:14] 	  no
[19:24:15] 	  oh he changed it back to that deleted user username
[19:24:16] 	  huh
[19:24:17] 	  his account was just deleted
[19:24:22] 	  like hes gone
[19:24:22] 	  is there someone else that has administrator permissions?
[19:24:30] 	  yeah
[19:24:33] 	  That is not the case.
[19:24:36] 	  it can't be deleted that fast
[19:24:42] 	  he manually changed the username
[19:24:43] 	  If you mean he left he must have transferred ownership
[19:24:50] 	  Discord will perform server ownership transfer to any user with administrator permissions
[19:24:53] 	  he transferred it to his alt which has been inactive
[19:25:00] 	  He has an alt?
[19:25:19] 	  well, supposedly
[19:25:26] 	  its not here though
[19:25:37] 	  Wdym supposedly
[19:26:11] 	  codenameblue
[19:26:25] 	  though it's hard to tell if its actually him
[19:26:39] 	  Has it ever sent messages?
[19:28:19] 	  thought I saw such a username somewhere
[19:30:02] 	  no
[19:30:26] 	  when did it join
[19:30:39] 	  right now i have no way of telling
[19:31:00] 	  ah
[19:31:02] 	  2021 apparently
[19:31:57] 	  I guess shoot it a message and hope for the best
[19:32:03] 	  agent at this point is unreachable from here
[19:32:12] 	  yeah
[19:32:49] 	  I suppose ask the main as well just in case
[19:33:23] 	  worst case scenario given a week or so it may be time to message discord to attempt a handover to another administrator
[19:35:17] 	  if he gave it to his alt instead of to a staff member, I'd wonder if he actually plans to return
[19:35:49] 	  on the sagan 4 server, Mnidjm did that when he needed to focus on finals
[19:37:20] 	  whereas when he was actuallt completely unable to access discord when he went to china for a while, he actually transferred ownership to me temporarily
[19:39:28] 	  [1/6] Is there a way to create breaks in galleries? Like

[19:39:30] 	  [6/6] ```
[19:39:58] 	  in image captions?
[19:40:19] 	  Like if the boxes were images, I'll try to make a drawing
[19:40:36] 	  I make fake galleries when I want to do that lol
[19:40:51] 	  aka thumbnails on lines
[19:40:55] 	  make 3 diff galleries?
[19:41:00] 	  [1/2] Like if the break for Valencia Community was hardcoded
[19:41:01] 	  [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1233140728532701214/image.png?ex=662c034c&is=662ab1cc&hm=a892f7ccdd924f3b51b7968aa95ce111a4d0293ca5ad09af143c2469f94bc3d8&
[19:41:21] 	  Would that keep the same spacing?
[19:41:55] 	  all the images would still be the same size if its default i think
[19:42:34] 	  I mean between the rows, like between Balearic Islands and Valencia Community
[19:43:16] 	  could probably mess with the css to make galleries have less margins
[19:44:01] 	  [1/2] Hmm, it makes a slightly larger margin, but it's probably fine

[20:18:04] 	  unfortunate
[20:20:56] 	  shame
[21:30:20] 	  Quick question; can/does a global (login wiki) user page get overridden by a local user page?
[21:31:09] 	  Yes
[21:31:39] 	  k thanks
[21:31:40] 	  yes
[22:11:27] 	  Can someone give Harej the elections committee role

[22:27:34] 	  sorry Harej
[22:27:43] 	  helloo
[22:28:38] 	  Hello there
[22:34:03] 	  would you happen to know where I can find information on wiki formatting? never done this before.
[22:34:26] 	  Sure
[22:35:11] 	  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents is a good start if you ain’t using visual editor
[22:35:21] 	  What is visual editor?
[22:35:38] 	  [[mw:Visual Editor]]
[22:35:38] 	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_Editor
[22:35:39] 	  
[22:35:58] 	  [1/2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting
[22:35:58] 	  [2/2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples
[22:36:27] 	  Thank you!
[22:42:40] 	  a visual editor for making articles, btw I not longer use it, is too clumsy to use!
[22:43:15] 	  Awesome, trying it now. If it's too clumsy are there any other alternatives that are similar to it/better?
[22:43:51] 	  Na it’s visual or source
[22:43:59] 	  Darn.
[22:44:00] 	  Imo learn to use source
[22:44:02] 	  hello World
[22:44:33] 	  source is better, visual can be very hard to do some things
[22:44:35] 	  Hello
[22:45:07] 	  In general Visual Editor makes some things maybe a bit easier and faster for some people to do, however there are some things that are near impossible, if not flat out impossible to do in Visual, that have to be done in source editor instead
[22:45:11] 	  How does one add images using visual editor?
[22:45:40] 	  What are some of the things I'd be missing out on using the Visual Editor? Like are there any key features that would be completely dropped in exchange for ease of use?
[22:46:07] 	  I can't really tell off the top of my head, since I for that reason use source 100% of the time
[22:46:53] 	  However if you don't have yet, the "Code Mirror" extension giving syntax highlight to source editor, helps source editor a lot as well
[22:47:39] 	  code mirror is essential, I cannot read correctly wikitext without it
[22:48:07] 	  No idea what any of this means, lol, but I'll try my best!
[22:49:03] 	  Go to "Manage this wiki's extensions" and you can tick extensions you think you need to enable them there (and ofc remember to click the save button after you picked them)
[22:50:05] 	  installing it with managewiki is easy, but when you have a self-hosted wiki... you need to download it, I think at this point the CodeMirror extension needs to be bundled with MediaWiki
[22:52:17] 	  Well I am going to assume anyone asking here unless stateing otherwise are asking for a help for a MH wiki
[23:10:14] 	  how do i create pages? @gummiel
[23:14:37] 	  You can type in the name of the page you want into the search bar and click the red link that pops up after you search it up. Also, you can add wiki links to pages that you can click on and create pages that way.
[23:14:46] 	  tables come to mind
[23:15:39] 	  Source editor looks daunting but it becomes pretty darn easy when you kinda pick up that like 85% of it is just "surrounding things in punctuation does other things"
[23:16:04] 	  usually that being apostrophes, brackets, and braces (`' [] {}`)
[23:16:20] 	  You can also look at existing pages and see how they work in source editor
[23:25:05] 	  Or the CreatePage extension or the url
[23:34:53] 	  ^
