[00:11:35] i got extension enabled, but what then [00:12:10] uh [00:12:16] read the docs n stuff [00:18:50] Read the guide [00:20:12] ye olden [00:20:17] [1/2] Our portable infobox extension also works very much like Fandom's so their documation also works quite well: [00:20:17] [2/2] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1048292890050318427 [00:35:10] fun fact: the source code is actually based off of fandom's [00:35:45] Oh the old days [00:37:32] oh? [00:37:54] back when fandom was OS i mean [00:38:00] I wasn’t there for it [00:38:08] me neither lol [00:38:23] I’m compartively new to wikis conpared to people like reception [00:38:31] less then 2 years i think [00:38:37] yea definitely [00:38:44] me, who joined like two months ago: observes [00:38:54] wikis in general? [00:39:01] actual editing yeah [00:39:12] i had a tiny bit of edits on other wikis, but they're basically typo or link fixes [00:39:21] gochu [00:40:20] I only really started being a volunteer beyond discord support and active on meta this January [00:40:27] i joined the discord in August [00:52:26] _has been on Fandom since 2012_ [01:20:56] Finnally the irregularities in FurrNations were solved [01:23:57] so the wiki hasn't private [01:24:40] Please make sure to use the banner templates on NSFW pages, otherwise we may need to revisit it. [01:24:51] ok [01:25:11] MicroWiki needs to take notes of the banners [01:25:25] in despise is an normal micronational wiki [01:25:35] that only is SFW [01:26:21] instead of being an toxic wiki that creates uncomfortable environments [01:26:54] (such forcing users to use an irl picture on the infobox instead of characters) [01:27:32] does anybody know the styling sheets for infoboxes on wikipedia? [01:27:46] i ported over infobox school and the infoboxes are going the entire length of the screen [01:27:56] [[mh:omaha:Template:Infobox_school]] [01:27:56] https://mh.wikipedia.org/wiki/omaha:Template:Infobox_school [01:27:56] oh no [01:27:56]

[01:28:14] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css, take a peek around line 280 or so [01:28:26] i had to learn the hard way [01:28:37] But yeah, oh no is right, it's a whole project borrowing things from WP. 🙂 [01:28:44] it was easy [01:28:48] it told me what templates i needed [01:29:07] i made sure to port most of the base templates from dev, it's just for infoboxes im porting from wikipedia [01:29:23] i can, have, and will continue to import from wikipedia, but god damn can it be a pain sometimes [01:29:36] I'm personally a big proponent of Portable Infobox, but to each their own. [01:29:53] 🤝 [01:29:57] i want my wiki to look exactly like wikipedia [01:30:09] professional & no room for errors [01:30:11] masochistic [01:30:36] here's how i think about it [01:30:43] that's what im going for to tbh [01:30:43] imagine what the people who first coded all that shit felt [01:30:55] gl0v3: is the problem the infobox expanding past the viewport, or the infobox not working at all [01:31:03] because i immediately see a "Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 185: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value)." [01:31:17] woah how do you see that kind of stuff [01:31:22] you have access to everyone's wiki? [01:31:30] i looked at the page? [01:31:52] https://files.catbox.moe/iybp1s.png [01:31:58] i'm browsing logged out too [01:32:08] oh [01:32:20] It's expecting a wikibase extension to be installed and configured [01:32:37] yeah but... wasn't the question about it expanding past the viewport? [01:32:55] @notaracham did you create mirahaze? [01:33:10] i would like to shake your hand [01:33:26] Can't claim that distinction, but I do serve on the board of directors for the parent organization, the WikiTide Foundation [01:33:54] i guess not then [01:34:32] i think [[User:John]] did [01:34:32] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:John [01:34:44] is he here? [01:34:59] check the user page [01:35:32] As far as I can tell, John was never present in this server; as BlankEclair noted, he left Miraheze last year [01:35:43] how come? [01:35:58] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:John [01:36:24] right there in plain english [01:36:27] Cofounded by John and SPK [01:36:28] excuse me [01:36:39] SPF* [01:36:55] seems like his bio is poking at a cover up [01:36:56] a hornet's nest [01:37:19] who are those in power that he is talking about? [01:39:43] Pointless drama not worth re-dredging. [01:40:29] are they at least gone? [01:46:08] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Infobox [01:46:48] Your infobox misses this @gl0v3 [01:48:32] They have this module, that's not the problem. [01:50:57] [1/2] @gl0v3 looks like you've got the basic stuff figured out, let us know if you have more questions. [01:50:58] [2/2] One pro-tip if you didn't know: the mediawiki common.css page can take a while to take effect, you can also test it faster by going to your preferences >> appearance >> custom css page for the skin you're using and dumping the CSS code there. [01:51:14] That's essentially instant vs 5-10 minutes for common css [01:52:33] firefox also lets you add new stylesheets, useful for one-time testing [01:53:45] oh? [01:53:56] https://files.catbox.moe/yhn2d5.png [01:56:55] ah [02:30:28] what cookies from which domains do i need to preserve to stay logged in with centralauth [02:30:55] i wipe all cookies on browser restart but keep miraheze.org and login.miraheze.org, but didn't help when i tried to login on rainverse.wiki [02:33:21] okay, the problem was that i logged in on rainverse.wiki [02:33:42] if i wipe my cookies and start my login session on login.miraheze.org, suddenly i can login in rainverse.wiki even after restarting the browser [02:33:44] not gonna ask why [02:59:55] i dont even know what cookies do [03:00:08] i have been told to disable them [03:14:01] wait why? [03:21:07] They store data on websites, like login sessions [03:44:13] i see [03:45:12] hii [03:45:58] hi [03:51:03] hii [03:57:02] who let the dog in me out [04:00:52] good night everyone. [04:00:54] Hello. [04:00:57] anyone in here just never go to sleep? ever? [04:01:52] Anybody a good connoisseur of original Netflix shows and films? [04:03:06] not sure anyone watches original netflix anything anymore [04:03:23] also very offtopic [04:04:01] wait... did I asked for it in General??? [04:04:16] Damn, i thought I was in off-topic. [04:04:23] So sorry. [04:04:36] it’s not a big deal [04:04:38] at all [04:05:05] There is something called time zones which may help you. [04:05:19] Here where I am it's 11:05 pm. [04:05:24] i too live in a time zone [04:05:46] yeah, you can use the timezones to calculate when they're awake [04:05:54] it's typically 10 pm to 3-4 am [04:06:21] what time zone are you in [04:06:26] mr eclair [04:06:36] uh, ms [04:06:49] i apologize [04:06:54] i lost my train of thought [04:06:59] UTC+10 [04:07:50] +10 [04:07:57] you live in [04:07:58] russia? [04:08:17] or uzbekistan? [04:08:25] #offtopic btw [04:09:14] we understand, but calling it again about off topic starts to be rude. [04:09:33] good lord man, calm down! [04:09:39] you don’t gotta do her like that [04:09:43] relax [04:09:45] quick question - is it possible to transfer ownership of a wiki? [04:09:59] Wikis dont have owners [04:10:08] well right but like [04:10:10] main editor [04:10:12] They have crats to manage [04:10:14] the beaurcrat if you will [04:10:17] that [04:10:18] yues [04:10:26] keyboard soup today my bad [04:10:27] You can grant the right via [[Special:UserRights]] [04:10:27] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:UserRights [04:10:29]

[04:10:34] thank you [05:16:19] minor question , my phorge request hasnt been gotten to in a really long time (over 2 weeks at this point,) can someone who can rename wikis get to it.? if it isnt too rude to ask [05:36:14] This is unfortunately a fairly busy season in personal affairs for a lot of our tech volunteers, but if you've reached ~3 weeks, a ping to the `@technology team` alias in the #tech channel could be warranted. Please be sure you've also followed all relevant steps in the [[Custom domains]] document to make sure it can be addressed speedily [05:36:14] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Custom_domains [05:36:15]

[07:39:34] Is it possible to disable the "survey" and "planned downtime" banners for anonymous users? [07:54:15] planned downtime i don't think you can disable even when logged in, but maybe i'm wrong [07:54:50] actually, you might be able to do so with css [07:56:44] the ability to disable the banner type for surveys (special) is shown but grayed out [08:01:20] thorbjorn: to disable only surveys (as long as the id is kept consistent), `#centralNotice:is([class^="cn-MirahezeSurvey"], [class^="cn-Survey"], [class^="cn-Miraheze_Survey"]) { display: none; }` [08:01:43] to disable all central notices (imo not recommended): `#centralNotice { display: none; }` [08:08:51] i'm too lazy to hunt down how to hide planned downtime banners [08:12:06] [1/4] Some wikis with custom domains only appear to have their root page redirect to the new domain [08:12:06] [2/4] eg. simpleelectronicswiki.miraheze.org redirects to amps.wiki.gg, but simpleelectronicswiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Simple_Electronics_Wiki remains on miraheze [08:12:06] [3/4] Other wikis always redirect, such as pizzatower.miraheze.org/wiki/Cheeseslime, which redirects to pizzatower.wiki/wiki/Cheeseslime [08:12:06] [4/4] Is there a way to make our wiki always redirect, and if not, would it be fine to use Javascript to do it? [08:13:40] thelazysquid: that can be done on request through phorge [08:14:17] ohh ok [08:14:17] redirect is automatic tbh [08:14:41] from miraheze domain to custom, once it was set up via phorge [08:15:03] what kind of task would I make [08:15:10] (I have no idea how to use Phorge) [08:15:14] either the generic create task form or the request features one [08:15:35] it generally doesn't really matter as long as we know what you want--your local task triager will shift things around if needed [08:15:56] sounds good [08:16:20] actually wait [08:16:47] you mean request SSL doesn't create redirects @ eclair? [08:16:59] i mean... rainverse.miraheze.org doesn't [08:17:17] i'm actually not sure when redirects are done, but i do know that one way to have them made is to ask for them on phorge [08:17:22] I don't remember if my first custom domain request was via phorge or SSL [08:17:47] but it worked right away [08:17:57] BlankEclair: Wouldn't that hide it for all users, or is there a way to add a custom CSS for only Anonymous users? [08:18:08] hmm yeah i noticed that another wiki which requested it has it auto-setup [08:18:19] i'm not too familiar with ssl setup myself so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [08:18:30] [1/2] last time I asked on phorge for 301 redirect cus google, but otherwise miraheze -> custom already worked [08:18:31] [2/2] pretty sure SKL requested via Meta [08:18:47] what type are you talking about [08:19:04] bare mh subdomain -> custom domain or always forced mh subdomain -> custom domain [08:20:32] We still get the occasional wiki visitor complaining they get redirected to PolandBall wiki. Could this issue still be lingering somewhere? [08:21:01] thorbjorn: yeah, and i can't seem to find a class that specifies whether or not the user is logged in [08:21:20] you probably could sneak it in with javascript since the central notice + global sitenotice requires js to work lol [08:22:22] about the polandball redirect issue, i don't understand? [08:22:59] BlankEclair: Oh well, not looking for hacky solutions right now. I think it would make sense to add an option to hide such banners for Anonymous users, since it generally doesn't concern them. [08:23:15] In the meantime, would javascript to redirect users be fine? [08:23:21] i don't see why not [08:23:50] BlankEclair: Ah, we had the problem that wiki.themanaworld.org was being redirected to www.polandballwiki.com. It was fixed, resurfaced, fixed, and now it generally works, but sometimes somebody seems to still get the redirect. [08:24:09] that sounds horrifying to debug [08:24:56] Yeah, well I guess we'll just wait until either we no longer see the issue or we recognize a pattern. [08:29:03] kinda weird that the surveys aren't optout-able [08:29:40] oh wait, are they? [08:30:25] thorbjorn: does setting $wmgSiteNoticeOptOut hide the survey notice? [08:37:41] BlankEclair: I've checked that option now, but unless there's a server-side caching involved, it did not disable the survey notice. I guess it might be an "important" one. [08:38:06] hm, i probably misinterpreted what it meant by "all" twice [08:38:20] I also saw there is a "wgDismissableSiteNoticeForAnons" option, but that's already enabled and it sounds like it would make things even worse by not even making it possible to dismiss the notice. [08:38:48] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralNotice?subaction=noticeDetail¬ice=Miraheze+Survey+2024 [08:39:04] apparently the projects field is multiselectable (if you modify the html to undisable it) [08:39:27] can i have a link to your wiki to see if it's not caching? [08:40:47] BlankEclair: https://wiki.themanaworld.org/wiki/The_Mana_World:Home [08:41:13] survey notice not here for me [08:41:16] probably caching then [08:42:47] Hmm, yeah it's not there for me on Chromium/Linux, where I'm pretty sure I also didn't already click it away, but it's there on Chrome/macOS, even after hitting the refresh button. [08:44:25] ...i was about to ask if you're logged out until i remembered what this is about lol [08:44:29] try adding random query parameters [08:44:42] if the survey notice doesn't show up, it's varnish [08:47:39] Urgh, well, I just hit refresh again, and now the survey is gone on Chrome/macOS as well. Hadn't gotten around to trying with a random query parameter yet. [08:47:47] I was checking with Anonymous, yeah. [08:48:09] Anyway, I guess either the notice disabled itself, if that's a thing, or the cache expired. [08:52:42] caching is a magical phenomenon [10:25:04] do TemplateStyles have access to Common.css color variables? [10:36:24] melissenpai: wdym? as in set with something like `:root { --accent-color: purple; }`? [10:36:48] if so, then see the page for Extension:TemplateStylesExtender [10:43:32] yes, thank you! it would have been a revamping nightmare if we ever want to change the wiki's color theme [10:45:39] [1/6] related to this, is there a limitation to the usage of variables? it happily accepts [10:45:39] [2/6] `background: var(--main-color)` [10:45:40] [3/6] but it gives me errors whenever I try to use things like [10:45:40] [4/6] `color: var(--main-color)` [10:45:40] [5/6] or [10:45:40] [6/6] `border: 1px var(--accent-color)` [10:46:03] that's odd, i'll have to check that out [10:46:30] the variables are set in HEX, might be related to that too? [10:46:37] i'm just pasting the same HEX in those places [10:48:59] on common.css it's just a warning [10:49:04] annoying nonetheless, but harmless [10:50:32] aaah nevermind, reloading the cache fixed it~ [10:52:08] weird [14:36:44] I am in need of a stub template tho idk where to find a simple one [14:42:02] ghaztliousmoths: https://rainverse.wiki/wiki/Template:Stub [15:17:25] Thanks [15:33:55] I'm planning to do an NSFW religions sidebar [15:34:21] for all the topics related to NSFW furry micronational religions [15:46:23] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1260623160261214270/image.png?ex=668ffe4e&is=668eacce&hm=4df138392b20f7e81e8f617a1674249675f2cf07024d31038248771d295957e1& [15:47:11]
