[00:11:00] optimize? [00:14:57] PNG are beefy, there's way to auto-convert to webp for some savings, nothing user facing as far as I'm aware. [00:38:14] How does Miraheze manage to store what must be over 10TB of images by now? [00:43:26] Yeah I did some digging into it and that's what I've read [00:56:56] not looking good for queue chonking tonight as I'd hoped [00:58:03] Lots of SSDs [00:59:16] [1/2] Probably not fully up to date (and will be updating again soon), but there's this rundown for those interested: [00:59:16] [2/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Tech:Server_usage [01:00:37] And thank you again to our generous donors for making it all possible! [01:01:11] [1/2] A) not WD Greens [01:01:12] [2/2] B) barely [01:03:52] hi [01:06:49] i keep reconnecting... 😅😓 [01:21:02] o7 to the Twinkle devs [01:21:04] User:PixDeVl/TC 101 [01:21:31] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1328172039298617466/IMG_5780.jpeg?ex=6785bc1a&is=67846a9a&hm=254f0954097197740bb539e66909bb7defa72a67db630ff4af4bccf419c44738& [01:37:57] I love Miraheze! All my homies love Miraheze! ❤️ [01:37:59] Hey! Hows everyone doing? [01:38:11] Hell yeah! [01:50:02] https://tenor.com/view/god-bless-miraheze-god-bless-miraheze-fandom-wiki-gif-14903733252958843574 [03:26:19] is there a way to import custom emojis like twemojis? [03:51:16] "perpetrators" variable won't show up on the civilian attack infobox even though it's in the template data ? [03:56:56] every other variable works i dont get it [03:57:24] [1/3] I'll say this. I started a Wiki on fictional broadcasting via Fandom and I was okay with it. Not perfect, but just fine. [03:57:24] [2/3] Then I started a Wiki on Miraheze about SiriusXM (if you know about it from living in the U.S.). Miraheze... is TEN TIMES BETTER, if not even more. I just started working on it but I already love it more than Fandom. [03:57:24] [3/3] Any new wikis I decide to create will be via Miraheze. [03:58:17] also this [03:58:21] i second this [03:58:31] need custom flags on some of the war infoboxes [03:58:50] you're lowballing it with the magnitude the amount of ads u see as an anonymous is what really matters [04:06:20] On Fandom or Miraheze you're talking about? [04:08:04] fandom [04:08:14] there arent any ads on miraheze [04:08:43] Oh yeah I've noticed that too. I'm glad you mentioned that. That's why I appreciate Miraheze even more. [04:08:58] epic wiki farm [04:09:17] Thank our awesome donors who make that dream a reality [04:09:35] A site of our size running soley on donations is insane [04:09:37] https://tenor.com/zMvm.gif [04:10:06] scrooge mcduck my beloved ❤️ [04:10:40] Nah, a lot of donations are average users pitching in a bit [04:10:43] and it adds uo [04:22:35] Thankfully, this one works, not the Peter Griffin one (if you watch Family Guy). [04:22:56] broken back [04:30:34] Heck, I wish we had the McDuck levels of cash reserves to burn [04:31:20] Hey pixel, does miraheze support fanon wikis (provided they follow the rules)? [04:31:33] Being able to have anyone with a full-time level of devotion to project success on staff would be tremendous [04:31:53] We are definitely not there yet [05:35:31] guten tag [05:36:16] Miraheze best 🗣️ 🔥 [05:36:36] never going back to crony capitalist [05:38:42] 🫡 [05:42:52] hi [05:43:07] a user request lock [05:43:24] Can Look? [05:46:06] Verified, and deeply sorry for the community's loss. It'll be handled shortly, may they wander the greater universe in peace in whatever may come after passing. [06:05:18] Will we be making the jump to MW 1.43? Or do we plan to wait a few more updates? [06:14:35] ? [06:35:43] In planning, still waiting on a bit more testing but soon ™️ [06:35:55] Will be making an announcement for Mirabeta testing soon [06:35:59] deceased user [06:36:32] oh [06:36:34] my condolences [06:44:05] perhaps add to https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Deceased_Mirahezians? [06:45:16] What started off as a nice FAQ section on my wiki ended up being an unhinged rant section from me [06:45:29] I hope this is a relatable thing for everyone else 🫡 [06:47:29] Does miraheze automatically redirect to the new wiki url from the old one after a rename? [06:48:37] Kinda curious, who is it? [06:51:22] > [13/01/2025 17:47] Does miraheze automatically redirect to the new wiki url from the old one after a rename? [06:51:32] homosapiensapien: i don't think we set that up by default, but i believe it's possible on request [06:52:25] https://github.com/miraheze/ssl/blob/9a710ac372d91b57406f34b8c1e31ff5300c4451/redirects.yaml#L520 [06:53:48] [1/2] any way to add something in here for subpages and stuff? [06:53:49] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1328255666116231240/image.png?ex=678609fc&is=6784b87c&hm=f57c922364cad976e9515981d3ed0685892dce20a66f2e530eee433e168c7396& [06:57:11] perhaps with an extension or javascript, but wdym by that? [07:13:13] much like discussion i want another section to access something like "Guide" or "Bugs" [07:17:43] Would I have to submit a phorge request for that or a pr? [07:38:58] [1/2] planning to make them subpages or custom namespaces? [07:38:58] [2/2] I would suggest fake tabber, but yeah, JS most likely [07:39:55] > [13/01/2025 18:17] Would I have to submit a phorge request for that or a pr? [07:40:07] homosapiensapien: if you know how to, i think just a pr is fine if you know how to [07:40:13] (why did i say "if you know how to" twice) [08:11:55] <_arawynn, replying to euphoria.holic> I would say yes, based on the fact that my wiki is for the lore of roleplays from a friend and me that definitely count as fanon [08:11:56] damn theres a page for this??? [08:12:02] now you know [08:13:22] Sadly yes [08:13:30] honestly sad [08:13:48] good to see that the community is acknowledging their contributions [08:16:53] iirc, Minecraft Wiki has an employee from Curse who helped them out with the wiki and died like a decade ago [08:17:10] https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Wiki:Wynthyst [08:18:22] If there's anyone missing within the criteria, please do add them [08:18:41] it's sad, but it's also a beautiful thing how a community, whether it's just a single wiki or the meta community of a wiki farm/host, does a tribute for deceased wiki editors [08:19:16] Criteria being account is locked, was in good standing prior, contributed significantly to miraheze or one of its wikis / communities [08:19:47] And can be reliably referenced without revealing non public information unless family consent [08:22:00] There's also https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Missing_Mirahezians [09:00:25] <.labster> I didn't realize SPF was considered missing. [09:05:59] <.labster> I think I have his phone number, back from 2017, which is quite a long time. [09:16:49] He was missing for a while [09:17:04] He's had occasional appearances in wikimedia IRC [09:17:14] But nothing Miraheze related [09:17:45] huh [09:17:52] Missing is more people who left the community than like actual missing person @.labster [09:18:00] oh [09:18:20] Some of them maybe that we have no idea where they are [09:18:29] Some of them may have retired and left Miraheze [09:19:17] <.labster> I can understand that. It's only people like me living in my parent's house and still on Miraheze, am i right? [09:20:06] I think you're one of our oldest now ye @.labster [09:20:39] Theres not many now that fully remember pretty much all of our history [09:20:52] a miraheze veteran [09:20:57] Reception is probably the closest [09:21:17] <.labster> I have a history of lingering on too long. I spent way too much time in my undergraduate student council as a grad student. [09:21:38] <.labster> Reception might even be before me. [09:21:39] I will be glad when my degree finishes [09:21:49] Academics can go away for a bit [09:22:27] <.labster> I loved academics, I still love learning things. [09:22:43] I love learning things but I'd rather do it [09:22:52] Not write 3,000 words about it and do very little [09:23:18] I'm also not convinced I've learnt anything from my undergrad [09:23:24] So far [09:23:43] With 6/7ths done [09:23:48] Just 1 semester to go [09:24:43] <.labster> What is your degree? [09:25:23] Digital & Technology Solutions (Software Engineer) [09:26:06] <.labster> oh, well, no wonder. Do something in a physical science and you will learn things. [09:26:45] Our teaching has been mostly poor quality [09:27:05] We had a cyber security lecturer that thought username and password was 2FA because it's 2 things [09:27:10] how [09:27:13] <.labster> . . . [09:27:20] He had no concept of methods of authentication [09:27:26] And what you know, are, have [09:27:34] This just sums up UK University though [09:27:38] tom scott did a better job of explaining this wtf [09:27:51] <.labster> So I assume you're not attending Oxbridge. [09:27:53] It's awful [09:27:57] No [09:28:07] BlankEclair: I've learnt more from Tom Scott [09:29:10] I know quite a few people who went to oxbridge and have regrets about going [09:29:55] I'm on a degree apprenticeship [09:29:58] So I don't regret it [09:30:10] But the degree is something I need to finish [09:30:13] Not a major part [09:31:15] Yeah in hindsight if I could go back I would do a degree apprentiship [09:31:34] I have learnt loads on the work side [09:36:55] They are very good [09:57:53] is it possible for me to request you guys to close a wiki? [09:58:13] theres a wiki based on our wiki which was made earlier and by a confirmed exploiter of the roblox game [09:58:37] https://robloxitemasylum.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page its pretty much dead, last signs of activity was like from march and in september [09:58:49] and it littered with outdated stuff [10:00:34] prabhasxd: yeah, [[SR/D]] [10:00:45] thanks wm-bot, very cool for not giving a link [10:00:45] Hey BlankEclair, you are welcome! [10:00:48] yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [10:00:53] shut up [10:01:19] [[SR/D]] [10:01:20]

[10:05:20] it can be requested but there are narrow circumstances in which it can actually be closed [10:05:50] being made by someone who exploits the game doesn't necessarily qualify and indeed the earlier wiki tends to actually be preferred as later wikis constitute an unauthorized fork, though that policy is itself a bit of a mess [10:06:30] wiki is pretty much dead anyways, most people assume that this wiki is the official one [10:06:42] despite the devs never stating that the actual official one was completed [10:06:57] it would probably be harmless to remove if there is another on miraheze that is actually maintained [10:07:20] no this is the only one [10:07:24] the wiki has been plain dead since october and 'living' is subjective to describe then [10:07:48] it is extremely rare for a wiki minding its own business on miraheze that does not violate policy to be removed prematurely [10:08:17] not entirely unheard of, one can just quote the minecraft wiki to me for example, but it is irregular [10:08:30] hm [10:09:25] I suppose it will come down to steward discretion to see if enough edge factors would favor closure and if that's enough to consist of a policy basis [10:09:39] because if that basis isn't there, even if it's somewhat thin, I would not expect closure [10:09:50] yeah it depends [10:09:52] off platform competition is rarely an accepted factor [10:10:07] unless the devs intervene or the wiki gets closed automatically [10:10:33] that wiki was made for the sole reason because i banned the person who made it from the fandom wiki of the same name [10:10:38] I don't think we've had a case where devs have called for a wiki's closure and I'm not sure there is basis to take that either, though it would be seriously considered [10:11:10] he was banned for being rude to staff, and constantly undoing staff edits [10:11:11] honestly not uncommon for miraheze wikis that split off fandom, it is a more relaxed, obscure place where people can explore deviation in interest so long as they appease the basic requirements [10:11:28] only one page on the entire wiki has a spoiler, and he was constantly making a template for a spoiler [10:11:29] it is the idea in the wiki creation process to try and stem this to an extent, but things inevitably slip through [10:11:33] told himt os top multiple times and he didnt [10:12:08] so I am sympathetic to the issue, it's just a murky area for miraheze to intervene in outside of what is actually codified [10:12:15] and there is not much of anything codified on this subject [10:13:03] I made an exception for an offshoot minecraft wiki that was inaccurate, effectively dead, competing with 'real' minecraft wikis, and the maintenance was abandoned by the people who operated it [10:13:28] I don't know if that same basis could be reused, not sure I documented on cvt wiki where ideally these examples can be referenced by future stewards and such [10:13:36] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1328305941392916570/image.png?ex=678638cf&is=6784e74f&hm=7760434d5d2d94bd59811de638d4544a352a939be0bd0dc4477e9e7a701d41be& [10:14:12] yeah, pretty cookie cutter case [10:14:26] he was told like 3 times 💀 too [10:14:52] it's hard without dedicated attention to find those examples, wiki creators are reluctant to approve if a basis is that slim. But if it does get approved and is let go then they tend to be home free until the kinda pointless fork inevitably dies of inactivity [10:15:10] this was faster when the dormancy policy was more strict, but it is more possible than ever for wikis to zombify with little effort [10:15:16] ah [10:16:04] that might be another basis to think of, avoiding a zombified/unmaintained wiki; but this intrudes on what is essentially the miraheze agreement with dormancy policy where you have a generous stretch of time to bring things around [10:17:12] I see on the request you have more details like there indeed being another wiki on miraheze and it having dev support [10:17:19] those can be useful factors to add in [10:18:04] yuppp [10:26:21] yall what is CirrusSearch? [10:30:39] bro i was replying to a request i made and i visited another wiki beforehand [10:30:50] and i was wondering why my ip address was visible 💀 [10:31:44] Where was it viable [10:31:44] sounds like you got logged out in the middle [10:31:47] Visible [10:32:03] message a steward privately with a link to where it was posted, reception seems to be on [10:32:26] cirrussearch takes more resources but is an actually good search tool [10:36:20] replying to a request i made [10:36:23] like in the preview of it [10:36:36] it isnt showing anymore, i logged in [10:36:43] it didnt let me post the reply anyways so [10:36:48] oooo [10:36:53] sounds intriguing [10:36:58] Oh that's good [10:38:28] sometimes mediawiki is not good at warning you when you're about to spout off your IP, so glad it worked out here [10:38:52] but yeah, new wiki attachments are a bit shambly at the moment [10:43:11] "No active login attempt is in progress for your session." [10:44:35] welcome to centralauth hell [10:44:45] 🎉 [10:47:10] <.labster> CentralAuth: you can check in any time you like, but no active login attempt is in progress for your session. [10:51:30] burn down the cookies [10:51:35] seems to be the only thing that does it reliably [10:59:21] [1/2] oh god [10:59:22] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1328317460868235285/image.png?ex=67864389&is=6784f209&hm=a189d3809983fd3a610cc154be15428fe2894039148c7e8abd5606604fb86267& [10:59:38] [1/2] i swear if i get more edits on this wiki than on fandom im gonna flip 💀 [10:59:38]
