[01:43:28] That won't necessarily be an issue, though do make sure you've set up a wikiseo presence via Google search console [01:43:41] ye we've already got one [01:43:46] that has our /wiki/ URLs indexed so im just worried [01:44:29] If you've already submitted a sitemap, should go quick [01:44:54] okay awesome [01:44:59] will /wiki/ URLs redirect to / ? [01:45:20] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1256787626715775057/image.png?ex=66820a30&is=6680b8b0&hm=2a5cce1c81fbe92a8ab1fb2df32116f12253c1c064b8779fd0dfd650eb908037& [01:45:39] Why does my domain redirect to the Miraheze mainpage rather than my wiki? [01:46:25] do you want dccomicswiki.com to redirect to www.dccomicswiki.com? [01:48:07] Well that would explain it [01:48:08] Yes [01:48:32] please file a request on phorge [01:49:05] No idea how to do that tbh [01:49:19] I'll just ask Cosmic in DMs lol. He'll sort it when he gets a minute. [01:49:30] eh, understandable [01:49:51] i noticed that someone already filed a (unrelated) request for the wiki while sourcing irc [01:50:02] Oh? [01:50:08] https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12248 [01:50:18] i'm unsure on the conventions of filing requests on behalf of others, but i suppose i could do it [01:50:37] Oh that, yeah he got the www. domain working [01:50:44] So apparently you can [01:52:31] task made: https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12270 [01:54:05] Wait actually, wouldn't it be the other way around? www. redirectly to the domain without it? [01:54:10] That's how it is with my other wikis [01:54:43] what direction do you want it to be? dccomicswiki.com -> www.dccomicswiki.com or www.dccomicswiki.com -> dccomicswiki.com [01:55:17] The latter [01:55:50] Sorry, I didn't notice you'd said the other way around beforehand [01:56:00] it's okay ^_^ [02:01:20] This is probably a silly question, but how do I get my logo to display? There's never been a logo on the top left, just the wiki name, before anf after I added my logo [02:03:46] hmm weird, there should be the default miraheze logo [02:03:54] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1256792297195176037/image.png?ex=66820e89&is=6680bd09&hm=e284ed0d4e67001ed946166909abe88be943bc89f8dc0906924d105db6ef5358& [02:03:54] i just realized, is the wiki private? [02:04:13] That all done right? [02:04:27] Yup. There weas never the Miraheze logo, and now there isn't mine [02:04:44] ("Yup" as in the wiki was private, right?) [02:08:48] Oh, I wasn't responding to that. It actually was private for a day, but even before then there was never a logo [02:10:09] hmm weird [02:10:10] url? [02:10:17] (of the wiki i mean) [02:13:42] https://westernrite.miraheze.org/ [02:20:17] ribose_carb: set "Icon ($wgIcon)" to the same value as "Logo ($wgLogo)" (in Special:ManageWiki/settings) [02:20:32] (references: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Wrztkw86y4j2x2w2 and https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Xt63zroehwwpfvw6&topic_showPostId=y5k81t795eco1eil#flow-post-y5k81t795eco1eil) [02:31:32] Thank you! I changed that setting, but when I open the additional settings I see a generic image icon, and no icon on any other page. Is this because it takes a few minutes to update? [02:48:20] does anyone [02:48:24] have a working double image template [02:59:01] ribose_carb: it should be a direct link to the image (typically https://static.miraheze.org/...), not a link to the file description page [02:59:15] tatiannaz: what do you mean by a double image template? [02:59:58] i mean the multiple image template [03:00:07] still don't know what that is [03:00:08] the framing has been broken for months and ivei mported the latest version frmo wikipedia [03:00:34] it's a [03:00:36] wikipedia template [03:00:38] that lets u [03:00:47] use multiple images in a infobox [03:00:50] idk how to explian it [03:00:58] example image? [03:01:52] HA thank you. I knew better [03:02:02] you're welcome :) [03:06:43] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1256808102896861304/image.png?ex=66821d42&is=6680cbc2&hm=20822d9ef013ac54fc31d4b98c6193a8df4f495ea89f7296b0c4f9826227f55a& [03:09:00] tatiannaz: can you give an example of the current version on your wiki? [03:10:45] here's a page where it's in use [03:11:31] [1/2] https://oblasia.miraheze.org/wiki/Uyuball [03:11:32] [2/2] https://oblasia.miraheze.org/wiki/Jyang%C3%AD_Institution [03:11:45] the formatting is broken and the only way i could fixi t was to put it in the basic infobox template [03:34:16] i think this is the workaround: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgUseLegacyMediaStyles [03:36:08] not yet in ManageWiki, i'll test if that is actually the fix before making a task on phorge [04:00:25] task filed: https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12271 [07:20:58] BlankEclair: https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12271#245497 [07:21:03] yep just saw [07:22:05] [1/3] Hello, Ive now got a new wiki that I want to start creating, but I cant seem to find any videos to provide help. Everything looks to be in written form. Can anyone recommend some videos to help me learn how to create a wiki? I've never done this before. I'm using the Citizen skill, if that changes anything. At the moment Im just trying to find a way to edit the home page to look [07:22:05] [2/3] similar to this https://starcitizen.tools/ But I cant see how to do that. [07:22:06] [3/3] Any help would be appreicated [07:23:33] the star citizen wiki homepage relies heavily on css [07:26:27] I really don't get how one can explain things like wikitext or CSS in a video [07:27:02] It’s very much a personal trial and error sorta learning experience [07:28:08] You’ll learn faster than you could with a video if you apply yourself [07:28:32] And since wikitext is used very often while editing wikis you’ll pick up on it quickly [07:32:20] [1/7] * fancy things require fancy skills, any thing must be started w/ basics, in case of MediaWiki it's wikitext, starter guides [07:32:21] [2/7] [[mw:Help:Formatting]] [07:32:21] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting [07:32:21] [3/7] [[mw:Help:Links]] [07:32:21] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links [07:32:21] [4/7] [[mw:Help:Images]] [07:32:21] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images [07:32:22] [5/7] [[mw:Help:Templates]] [07:32:22] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates [07:32:22] [6/7] * you can check source code (wiki text) on any wiki by pressing "see source code"/"edit source" button - it will get you idea how things are done [07:32:22] [7/7] * visual editor exists but it's a purely content editing tool, you won't go far w/ it as an admin + it's damn buggy [07:32:22]

[3/4] [07:32:23]

[4/4] [07:34:19] Is there an issue with written form? [07:35:17] For something that is in written form, it would make sense that most coverage is also in written form [07:36:25] Im a visual learner, so reading anythign takes me 10x longer to understand bfore I can even start to apply it, hense the desire for a video 🙂 [07:37:31] [1/2] one might say that Fandom's Help pages are a bit simpler than mediawiki.org's but I haven't checked in a while [07:37:32] [2/2] I learned by looking trough code on other wikis + trial and error [07:38:24] also turn on syntax highlight w/ marker button in source editor, it will save you so much braincells [07:43:12] (the source editor has syntax highlighting?!) [07:43:58] there's an extension for that which is enabled by default on all wiki, just users have to individually turn it on in editor itself [07:44:31] man, I would die w/o syntax highlight lol [07:49:07] me counting the number of } in my parser function mess trying to figure out where I went wrong [07:58:15] variables and templates are basically a more annoying version of lisp [07:59:01] i ported a giant {{{{{mess}}}}} into lua, but it had zero indentation. i had to manually indent and prettify it [07:59:01] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:%7b%7b%7bmess [07:59:30] that makes me wonder: are there tools that beautify wikitext? [08:08:47] [1/2] For css, you could try W3Schools [08:08:47] [2/2] It's not videos, but they don't have much text and most of it is showing you results and making you apply it [08:10:24] [1/2] Here's one of their tutorials for example [08:10:24] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1256884530468487250/Screenshot_20240630-091000_Chrome.png?ex=6682646f&is=668112ef&hm=3c78cd4d0bc45092e4a7f8c882d0783a396428153c2898a81c96a57616c7df26& [08:10:50] Thank you, that looks good 🙂 [08:11:26] [1/2] You're welcome! [08:11:26] [2/2] The Try it yourself button allows you to edit the code to experiment with it [08:12:46] [1/2] Here's a video for simple wikitext, however it's mainly just screenshots from the mediawiki page [08:12:46] [2/2] https://youtu.be/8nbi3j24YCs?si=08kziMid_RhTUcnk [08:28:21] CSS is secondary, if you're on lvl 0 you need to understand wikitext first and foremost [10:07:08] Hello, I'm not sure if my request for management position on https://k.miraheze.org/wiki/. The only manager I know of has recently passed away so I'm not sure how the mechanics work for replacing him. I'm happy to go through an election, but I know next to nothing of the process. My main interest is trying to keep the Wiki properly maintained. [10:08:06] My login name is SpecialK. I clicked on Submit but received no feedback, so I'm unclear what happened. [10:11:27] Hi, can you let us know the username of the account [10:11:34] We have a few steps to do [10:12:15] Of the account of the current manager? [10:12:27] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Deceased_Mirahezians [10:12:33] @discodoug yes [10:12:55] Razetime [10:13:15] @discodoug do you have a link to confirmation of passing? [10:14:05] Not of a news account yet, but I can point to posts on other forums. [10:15:03] A link to stackexchange is apparently blocked.. [10:15:36] you need to tie your miraheze account to post links here, anti spam measurement [10:15:42] #verify [10:15:49] @discodoug you can verify your Miraheze account or DM [10:16:01] Do you know if they had the matching Wikipedia account too? [10:16:36] My account is SpecialK. I don’t know if they had a matching Wikipedia account but I wouldn’t be surprised. [10:17:01] @discodoug look in the #verify channel if you want to verify [10:17:15] Or just DM me the link [10:17:21] Oh, okay. [10:18:09] @.labster you still awake?

You can follow the inactive section of https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Local_elections [10:22:56] Of course, our condolences for your communities loss [10:23:09] Okay. That works fine for me. I haven't been involved with the wiki very much to this point. Thanks for your help. [10:40:48] condolences [11:09:08] rest in peace [11:29:22] [1/2] It's always a blow when people, who volunteer to maintain these resources, pass on. [11:29:22] [2/2] We have lost an exceptional individual today. [11:34:42] I will add it to https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Deceased_Mirahezians as soon as it's locked [11:35:13] Kiju is online [11:35:18] @kiju1108 [11:49:20] My condolences for loss of your wiki community member. @discodoug Temporarily, Steward will act as administrator and bureaucrat for the wiki, overseeing its management. You can initiate an election on the wiki in accordance with [Local elections](https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Local_elections). Feel free to send me a DM regarding this matter [11:49:56] Can you lock the global account as deceased [11:55:04] ah yeah, this is also complete [11:55:33] Thank you [11:59:35] Now added to our memorial page on meta [11:59:42] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1256942235677622323/image.png?ex=66829a2d&is=668148ad&hm=b2334a6bca5de310c73b6be9268809052be9029c629d54281f62c8945f93c56b& [11:59:45] woah [12:00:14] I copied the source of to get it https://wiki.conworld.org/ [12:05:08] finally [13:45:49] hello [13:47:37] Hi [13:47:57] 2.5k articles?? [13:48:49] how many time it take for get the wiki accepted? [13:49:01] mine took abt 4 days [13:51:27] The backlog is only a few hours at the moment [13:57:32] thanks [14:06:14] Is anyone interested in making a Wiki Mechanic logo? [14:06:28] cc @pixldev or @suzuneu if interested [14:08:30] how do i find my old request? [14:08:50] [[Special:RequestWikiQueue]] [14:08:50] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue [14:08:50]

[14:09:58] thx [14:10:51] Gonna be gone for a week so :p [14:11:05] Whoever makes it use a wrench plz [14:11:34] honestly in my head i kinda envision it as the miraheze logo but with a wrench in the bottom-right corner :p [14:14:19] 🔧 [14:17:05] this looks like a nice wrench: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emojione_1F527.svg [14:17:09] (i'm not doing this btw) [14:22:32] Maybe remake the MH logo with 3 crossed wrenches where the hexes are made of the holes at the end [14:22:34] If that makes sense [14:23:31] that's actually interesting [14:24:02] intriguing [14:24:10] anyway time to sleep, nini [14:24:49] Boa noche [14:38:58] is it normal for Common.js to take... 17 hours to update? [14:39:10] Don’t believe so [14:39:50] Ive tried multiple browsers and computers, hard reloading but nothing [14:40:00] should I, edit it again? [14:40:40] Is it complex JS? [14:40:53] I wouldn't consider 77 lines complex... [14:41:11] besides, I just fixed a missing `)` [14:41:31] Does it work in user js? [14:42:27] Haven't tried it yet, hold on [14:43:42] [1/2] So much wronch [14:43:42] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1256983507666866196/Mech.png?ex=6682c09d&is=66816f1d&hm=2b532ec5bd2249d2e008a800aceab1c5cac1b7e6703326fb3970ea9308cd03ea& [14:43:58] i like that lol [14:44:22] EXACTLY [14:44:37] just mask out the old logo [14:45:18] It also somewhat references the mediawiki software flower [14:45:26] Which makes sense for the tech role [14:45:34] I think the bronze in the middle looks a little off [14:45:42] I said mask out the logo [14:45:53] The hexes will be the inverse [14:46:11] [1/2] Just the wrench? [14:46:11] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1256984133796888698/Mech2.png?ex=6682c133&is=66816fb3&hm=29c9dfdbf7b9dffd677935d50afe96b43d8d3bd6db84bad1b7ec45d396d4bf49& [14:46:22] That looks eldritch and horrifying [14:46:23] I LOVE IT [14:46:26] lol [14:46:35] and cutting out the hex in the center [14:46:42] Ah [14:49:20] This looks so scary and sick though [14:49:40] have mentioned it to steward [14:56:44] @suzuneu / @honglan233 do either of you mind if I wipe the current GP nomination from the page, so I can reset it a bit later in the day once the proposal is completely closed [14:56:59] Hm? [14:57:17] idk; @kiju1108 [14:57:54] Just to remove it from the page since there's nothing really useful to it (since it's closed w/o a single vote) [14:58:07]
