[00:03:32] hey [00:03:42] i want to ask in the future if i need to ban someone from my wiki how do i [00:03:47] i have no one to ban rn im just wondering [00:11:50] Go to `Special:UserBlock/Username` [00:12:11] ty [00:14:54] hello [00:15:54] just wondering if anyone else is having an issue right now, I'm trying to upload a file but it goes to 500 Internal Server Error [00:16:36] Not that I am aware of. Link to your wiki? [00:17:53] dominionofbc.miraheze.org [00:18:56] Creating a page is fine, just uploading a file gets the problem [00:19:17] and now it works [00:19:27] fifteen times I tried and it failed [00:21:54] Hello how is everyone [00:22:55] trying to calm down from being mad about someone not doing their job right lol [00:22:59] i vented about it in offtopic [00:23:51] Oh thats never good. What happened? [00:24:05] somebody made a patch [00:24:13] did $( ' self-+2'd [00:24:31] even though the maintainer is still available [00:24:50] and now the patch broke the extension (under certain circumstances) on miraheze, and two users have reported it [00:24:56] Ah right [00:25:15] That must be annoying [00:25:18] this could've been avoided if the user spent the extra <5m to actually test the patch [00:29:50] Ouch [00:30:59] Is it resolved now? [00:31:46] nope, i just pushed the patch [00:31:51] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/CommentStreams/+/1112860?tab=comments [00:40:52] @snowstacked here are you basically that one kid who skips classes because smart and humble people 2x older than you [00:50:10] Assuming the AI bill passes (basically a gaurantee at this point), when will it take effect? [01:00:56] the code is already implemented, so i believe it's a matter of flipping a config switch to turn on auto-approve/decline? [01:04:10] pretty much but I believe there is tuning due in the pipeline before that happens [01:05:02] my understanding is it will get a little more review time, feedback, adjustment, make sure that makes sense, then should be about good, but agent's word would be best on that [01:29:00] does anybody know how to make an enemy box like this https://combatinitiation.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Enemy_Box [01:55:07] i'm dumb but it's pain [01:56:23] oh [01:56:47] no it's just pain, suffering, 12 hours and 13 questionings [01:57:07] uh oh [01:57:32] templatadata maybe? [02:04:52] [1/2] This is how Infoboxes were made before LUA modules were introduced. [02:04:52] [2/2] This is just simple Table codes in the source editor. [02:05:10] (around 2010 and earlier) [02:05:21] Good old times [02:08:52] Enemy_Box/style.css needs extension Template styles activated. Special:ManageWiki/extensions [02:17:43] is there an issue with miraheze atm [02:18:01] users are reporting to me they are having issues making accounts rn and it took them over 8 times to get it to work [02:21:19] I've heard of similar account creation issues, sometimes it shows it fails but it actually made an account alr [02:31:43] Please open a support thread. And use the tag "Technical support" [02:46:13] Am I allowed to share a post I created on reddit or is that advertising? [02:47:34] @Discord Administrators [02:47:37] What kinda post [02:48:26] It's a post where I have an infobox of 2 candidates and it's an alternative timeline where the Confederacy won and it's like a poll almost, but you must comment who you want to wjn [02:49:06] I would imagine no [02:50:26] what are #e8938q colors. def not right but I saw them and I was wondering they're called so I can find a color for my CSS [02:50:54] Off-topic if anywhere, but this doesn't seem like the right venue for it. [02:51:49] So no? Fair enough. [02:52:07] I'd recommend looking for mock elections/alt history servers, that seems like a better venue. [02:52:29] yo what are these type of #e389389 colors in css called [02:52:43] I'm really not sure what you're talking about [02:52:52] like #e8e8e8 [02:52:59] what are they called [02:53:02] hex color codes [02:53:04] i know they're somethint color [02:53:06] oh thanis [02:53:11] Yes, hex codes [02:53:13] yw ^_^ [02:53:27] i thought they were discount RGB [02:53:35] https://htmlcolorcodes.com/ if you're feeling clever [02:53:48] well, they are RGB [02:53:54] just a more compact way of representing them [02:54:13] you can also do rgb(255, 255, 255) if you want to represent them in decimals [02:54:16] Yep, different ways ofo saying the same information [02:56:23] can I just copy CSS code [02:56:34] from like a random wiki if I provide credit [03:04:23] [1/3] ...I mean I just copy it and then butcher it up to suit my needs. [03:04:24] [2/3] <_< [03:04:24] [3/3] >_> [03:04:42] bruh same [03:04:43] But only on fandom. I'm kinda barebones on miraheze. [03:05:00] thing is for the life of me I can never find a perfect color conbination [03:05:21] https://www.thirdmillennium.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Worlds [03:05:38] so I just used the ones from the template I stole [03:06:04] https://thirdmillennium.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Worlds [03:06:36] I also just realized I can just use Wikipedia files [03:06:40] bruh [05:30:29] how do I make the create page thing [05:41:45] there are several extensions for that [05:45:36] [1/3] [[mw:Extension:Create Page]] lets you to put "create new page" input thingy, say on main page [05:45:36] [2/3] [[mw:Extension:InputBox]] is an older one and lets you to create many such things, nit just for page creation (this is what I use, w/ many option and on dedicated "creation" page) [05:45:37] [3/3] [[mw:Extension:CreatePageUw]] creates a separate Special page for that, it can be linked from sidebar, for example, or again on main page [05:45:37]

[1/3] [05:45:37]

[2/3] [05:45:37]

[3/3] [05:47:03] additionally, Cosmos skin offers creation button in the corner like Fandom does (since it's a port of on old Fandom skin) [05:47:16] how to apply cosmos [05:47:22] Preferences?? [05:47:56] skin is a type of extension, first you enable it, then set up as default in additional settings/styling [05:48:08] check first if you'll like the look of it [05:48:18] [[mw:Skin:Cosmos]] [05:48:19]

[05:48:48] it's actually the most beginner friendly skin [05:49:13] offers color settings so you might nit even thread into CSS [05:49:19] I do, however [05:50:07] since those aren't enough for me lol [05:52:25] I joined Miraheze for Cosmos/Oasis but stayed for Timeless [05:53:01] why do the links I give to unregistered new people always be using the Y2K looking skin [05:53:41] this tells me nothing man, maybe drop a link? [05:54:09] https://thirdmillennium.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [05:54:29] i think i did an oopsies in manage wiki [05:55:01] and what skin you see? [05:56:04] you set up Modern (hardcoded into mediawiki) skin in wiki's settings [05:56:25] and probably picked another in your personal/user settings [05:57:32] by default registered users can choose alternative skins in user settings, in case they aren't vibing w/ what admin set up [06:07:18] that's modernb [06:07:37] MediaWiki started roughly in 2004 [06:07:38] sir that looks like it was made in 2005 [06:07:54] i always thought it 2014 [06:07:55] it was modern back then [06:08:05] how did I almost get this right LOL [06:08:35] so I should pick Cosmos right? [06:08:52] yes, but first enable it in extensions [06:09:00] alr [06:09:06] and check your personal settings afterwards [06:09:18] wait what stuff in Special:ManageWiki do I actuallt need [06:09:25] there's 7000 options [06:09:37] there's small search box [06:09:48] also tabs name offer you a gist [06:10:04] take a while to go through it [06:10:11] extensions are important for example [06:10:24] look at your sidebar, there must be Administration and 5 links [06:10:25] most wikis require dozens of extensions to get where they are today [06:11:14] i think nobody in this discord has the time but it would be nice if each of these extensions/options had a seperate main page that showed visually how it worked with like images and stuff [06:11:42] you click on extension name and it opens its page on mediawiki.org [06:11:49] each extension has a hyperlink to its mediawiki example page, that will explain what it does, configurations and examples [06:11:56] oh... [06:12:00] well i'm dumb [06:12:11] anyways let me do that cosmos real quick [06:12:19] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions_included_in_Miraheze [06:12:21] see here [06:57:16] is there anyway to transclude data from a google sheet into a page [06:58:43] ik about sheetsformw but it just seems like a portal [07:00:58] lemme check, but I can tell you anything around google is considered privacy breach risk here on Miraheze [07:01:23] except for font import [07:01:43] our wiki uses google forms :p [07:02:44] ah, well I guess you are more equipped to help Toasted than I am then [07:03:09] toastedwell: wdym by transclude data [07:03:34] get data from a cell [07:03:51] hmm, idt there's an extension for that [07:03:59] as in one specific cell? [07:04:19] aka a number [07:04:31] and i would use it in a template [07:05:11] i'm guessing smth like {{#sheetscell: id | column | row}} [07:05:42] mmmm yea kinda [07:05:55] the benefit is that i only need to edit one thing [07:06:17] also would it work if the cell was shifted etc [07:06:53] shifted? [07:08:01] if i add a new row [07:08:23] all the cells below it would move [07:08:27] maybe you better utilise cargo? [07:08:29] ah, doubt [07:11:25] idk what that is srry [07:11:36] [[mw:Extension:Cargo]] [07:11:39] k [07:11:47] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cargo [07:12:02] there's big ass link preview now lol [07:12:13] oh god [07:12:33] but it says what it does in first paragraph so it's ok [07:31:14] yo what's categories [07:31:18] I still don't understand them [07:31:28] Is it just pages linking to other pages? [07:33:23] [1/2] Category: pages? [07:33:24] [2/2] consider them to be folders, they can contain other pages and show them like list, including other categories [07:33:52] [1/2] like [07:33:52] [2/2] [[mh:softcell:Category:Records]] [07:33:53]

[07:33:57] Like thoe A-Z things? [07:34:27] kinda, they're just semi automatic in that regard [07:34:34] bruh [07:34:46] oh well I'm just gonna keep it just a normap page for now [07:34:51] ty for the help [07:34:53] ? [07:35:21] I mean, maybe properly populated example will help better understanding it [07:35:45] like the bot link above [07:59:23] well maybe [08:53:53] helloo [09:03:43] 😃😃😃 [10:01:05] stackd what settings did I do an oopsies for it to look like THIS [10:01:06] https://thirdmillennium.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [10:01:19] IT's something Anti-Spam but I can't find it [10:28:10] what [10:28:21] just help me [10:28:32] i have to do something in like 4 mins [10:28:35] context ??? [10:28:43] please just help tweak the settings [10:28:48] just check a page please [10:28:59] It says revision needed and I don't know how to turn it iff [10:29:07] anyways disappears [10:29:10] https://thirdmillennium.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Moderation [10:30:09] i have no idea what you did for egApprovedRevsBlankIfUnapproved, egApprovedRevsShowNotApprovedMessage [10:30:15] just reverse what u did buh [10:32:08] :ThinkerMH: [10:33:42] no more wikipedia global prefix [10:33:46] it's now time for eepypedia global [10:35:30] 🎉 [11:04:51] [1/2] fellas can someone explain again how to limit second account creation (user makes an account and then creates a second one, for some reason) [11:04:51] [2/2] if this involves abuse filter I definitely need help [11:05:02] I just forgor [11:10:03] Probably needs abuse filter ye [11:10:25] @zppix or @.labster speak abuse filter I think [11:12:34] we don't allow AF from affecting account creation [11:12:44] I mean if you just want someone to not be able to create a new account if they are logged in, i believe you can just remove createaccount permission? Beyond that abuse filter really cant determine if someone is creating a second account, unless you do some sort of if statement looking to see if they are logged into an accoubt [11:13:17] https://github.com/miraheze/MirahezeMagic/blob/d69085218ed248537592ff1124a18bd477ee7038/includes/HookHandlers/Main.php#L139-L166 [11:13:29] Doesn't solve the second account issue. They wanna allow create account on * but restrict it on user [11:13:35] While I assume not affecting like admins [11:13:36] Yes we most certainly do have filters that prevent account freation [11:13:55] That's only autocreateaccount [11:13:58] Not createaccount [11:14:00]
