[00:02:00] ..yeah? [00:02:08] No reason to not [00:16:08] psst. hey chat. i forgot how to like. hide the page title for the main page. cause i tried looking at pizza tower wiki and i have no clue how it got like that. and i wanna do it on summitpedia [00:21:19] [[mediawiki:mainpage-title]] maybe [00:21:19]

[00:21:22] It’s something like that [00:23:37] i blanked it, but it doesn't seem to be Doing anything [00:24:15] Visit the main page and add ?uselang=qqx to the end of the url [00:24:46] oh yeah. its still there [00:27:21] OH I GOT IT [00:27:24] IT WAS ``MediaWiki:Mainpage-title-loggedin`` [00:27:28] i had to blank that as well [01:05:16] You can't see the categories in that first image because I did something along the way that made the text black. So just image there are categories there. [01:43:46] [1/4] @tali64 crat here, these men are requesting page deletion [01:43:47] [2/4] https://polcompballanarchy.miraheze.org/wiki/Savoinism [01:43:47] [3/4] https://polcompballanarchy.miraheze.org/wiki/DELETED [01:43:47] [4/4] https://polcompballanarchy.miraheze.org/wiki/Rejuvenative_Hamburg_thought [01:49:58] Your request has been forwarded to the Steward team; I'm not quite sure if this falls within the scope of Global Administrators, so I'll err on the side of caution [01:50:22] Alr thx [01:50:31] Didn't know who's behind page deletion [01:58:44] This has been done, thanks for patience. [01:59:03] Bigdelete is locked to stewards and T&S, so steward requests board is a great option if it comes up again [02:22:13] Alright thanks [02:36:31] @tali64 Hello, I need a password reset on an account that I neglected to add an email address to [02:37:18] If you lose to password to the account and have no set email isn’t really anything we can do [02:38:21] I understand [02:38:57] If it’s a very new low risk account Tech may be able to help [02:39:18] It was the admin account of a personal wiki [02:40:43] No, not a personal wiki. Serioushall wiki. I didn't take admining that wiki very seriously so I neglected to write the password down [02:41:17] Yeah I don’t think we can do anything [02:41:24] I highly recommend just adding an email [02:41:38] I'm not sure if I can do that without logging in the first place [02:41:48] Are there other admins or bureaucrat [02:41:54] are you still logged in anywhere? [02:42:00] Might be one [02:42:03] And meant in general not now [02:42:23] They gave admin to me in the first place and they don't like the community they left, but I could ask them when they're awake [02:42:49] I’m not sure if you need a password to change email [02:43:01] Do you also have bureaucrat? [02:43:13] I don't know [02:44:36] If there's no way into the account I figured I might just make a new wiki and make sure I don't repeat the same mistakes [02:47:21] I mean if it’s a single person public wiki ypu could run a local election or request admin from global staff [02:48:01] Those sound like good options. How would I do those? [02:52:19] [[Local election]] [02:52:20]

[02:52:53] [[SR/P]] [02:52:54]

[02:57:06] Would burocrat permissions be enough to give someone else admin permissions? [02:59:18] Yes [02:59:20] That’s [02:59:34] basically all it does, grant permissions and manage settings [03:03:09] I'll see what I can do about hosting an election/getting bureaucrat permissions [03:03:17] Thank you for your assistence [03:03:24] Cheers [03:25:58] while a wiki cannot be used for commercial activity, Is it within policy to include a list of (any or all) vendors for a hard to buy used good? I am specifically asking about customromhardware.miraheze.org where most of these devices are almost impossible to find with a custom rom preinstalled... [03:28:04] That’s chill [03:28:37] :prettythumbsup: [03:30:06] The policy is really there so commercial companies dont delegate their hosting costs to us [03:30:14] so including a link to different stores is OK? what about publishing the prices? is that a bit much? [03:30:19] And to meet our legal requirements to papa big revenue [03:30:22] Nah [03:30:36] The commercial activity is more to the entire wiki [03:31:26] Linking to and even promoting commercial vendors in the otherwise scope and topic, especially to the significant benefit of the reader, is more than fine. [03:32:37] thanks. I suppose if at some point it's a problem I'll get a warning to take that part down without deleting everything, right? [03:33:12] I'd hate to lose work [03:46:43] Oh yeah nah even if the community changed the policy we wouldn’t go in and nuke it all [03:46:50] bit of a silly question but I'm trying to change the color of the backdrop in Timeless [03:46:54] How do I do that? [03:47:00] Also does Timeless have a dark mode? [03:47:19] it doesn’t really cause a harm, the wikis made by companies dedicated to commercial activity are the main targets for our apache attack helicopters lazer sharks [03:47:50] You’d use CSS, although I don’t remember the exact code sadly :p [03:47:56] maybe try searching in #support ? [03:48:25] CSS is not my strong suit at aaaaall :Nervous: [03:50:35] How do I access the CSS html for the skin? I can probably figure it out, I just need to know how to be able to get to the code itself so I can fiddle with it. [03:54:05] You can apply on Mediawiki:Timeless.css [03:54:10] Hi legroom [03:54:31] [1/2] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1319311694979403849 [03:54:32] [2/2] CSS changes has to be made in MediaWiki:Common.css page (all wiki, no matter, which skin, except for mobile mode) or skin specific CSS, in you case MediaWiki:Timeless.css [03:54:38] morning [03:56:55] thanks! [04:12:06] Seeing the server maintenance site notice, I wrote some CSS this morning to customize it, but I see that the notice has changed since then, making my CSS not work as intended anymore. Should I expect that this will happen relatively frequently? [04:16:47] the Project: subspaces on my wiki turned into Miraheze Meta: outta nowhere [04:17:12] This again son of a [04:17:22] @agentisai do you remember why these happen again [04:17:37] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1341624709795549304/image.png?ex=67b6ace0&is=67b55b60&hm=10450ad8706ceee53659d00641ab514503232b1d61d67bacf6c70c3e71c5ce99& [04:18:02] race condition [04:18:46] run the script that fixed it last time, then it should be aight [04:21:18] gonna jump off [05:12:10] how do I make a link that brings you to a random page in a specific list of pages? [05:13:30] or any page under a category minus subcategories [05:13:51] Trollpasta is based for using MonoBook [05:24:08] true [05:24:35] [1/4] [[mw:Help:Random page]] [05:24:35] [2/4] [[mw:Help:RandomInCategory]] [05:24:35] [3/4] there is also this but I'm not sure if Miraheze has it?

[05:57:08] [1/2] When importing a template from Wikipedia, I want to include the template because I am trying to make a page on a specific video game BUT I don't want to include the transcluded pages on the wiki itself, I just want the basic skeleton of the page to work for my game [05:57:08] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1341649753330552874/image.png?ex=67b6c433&is=67b572b3&hm=757aef4008420e95f167d9431d5551cf7e94443fde1aadb4d006b83a175e572c& [05:57:58] [1/2] I want this box, specifically [05:57:58] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1341649963146412104/image.png?ex=67b6c465&is=67b572e5&hm=ead8d18c9599edf346f1cfdfeee9bc0274a07b173f2f358a6b5e36cf0a74de83& [06:02:46] we generally don't recommend importing templates from wikipedia [06:04:14] [1/2] they have a lot of dependencies, so "include templates" is a must, grabbing all sub templates and modules, it won't work otherwise [06:04:14] [2/2] but also, way too often the import still ends up w/ error [06:05:36] [1/3] we have some infoboxes in Dev Wiki, and I usually recommend newcomers use PortableInfobox (aka Fandom's way to build infoboxes) [06:05:36] [2/3] [[dev:Category:Infobox templates]] [06:05:36] [3/3] [[Infoboxes]] [06:05:36]

[09:48:44] see what other wikis do [09:50:40] aight thx [09:51:57] [1/2] we have FAQ and some guides on Meta Wiki, and some templates on Dev Wiki [09:51:57] [2/2] but in general yeah, take a look at wikis of similar nature, see how they are organised, don't venture much into visuals just yet [09:52:33] Hey [09:52:35] we all started like that [09:52:42] aight [09:52:48] thx for the advice [09:53:06] I have a question regarding Infoboxes they work fine and I tried using an example but the boxoutline doesn't appear, any ideas on how to solve this issue? [09:53:31] will I need to start learning how to code a wiki or is that not necessary at first? [09:53:32] wdym by outline? got infobox from somewhere else? [09:53:48] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox [09:53:54] I tried that tutorial [09:54:26] [1/2] You see there is no outline: [09:54:26] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1341709472749453332/image.png?ex=67b6fbd2&is=67b5aa52&hm=b7a64b3cf79dede458607d7687fbc945e3e167e07cfc01a09bad27198fbdb6cb& [09:56:08] [1/9] for just writing and categorising articles no but that's editor work [09:56:08] [2/9] the wiki will need templates + there are settings, so for an admin understand wiki text, template code and styling is a must sooner or later [09:56:08] [3/9] consider checking [09:56:09] [4/9] [[mw:Help:Formatting]] [09:56:09] [5/9] [[mw:Help:Links]] [09:56:09] [6/9] [[mw:Help:Templates]] [09:56:10] [7/9] [[Infoboxes]] [09:56:10] [8/9] [[mw:Help:Images]] [09:56:10] [9/9] and again, you can check pages on other wikis by clicking edit/see code button [09:56:11]

[5/5] [09:57:07] aight tysm [10:01:16] [1/2] copy this CSS code, the portion w/ `.infobox` classes, to MediaWiki:Common.css page on your wiki (it's blank by default) [10:01:17] [2/2] [10:01:58] might skip on geography stuff [10:02:52] Sure, I also just found this page, makes sense that I lack the required css, could you please tell me where I need to put it? [10:03:38] I just said, the same page on your wiki which is non existent by default [10:04:19] might take a bit of time for infoboxes to update after saving changes [10:04:31] Sure I'll try that thanks [10:10:02] It worked thanks bro [10:10:14] I think I understandd the whole concept now [10:10:24] I can add my own custom css too [10:16:17] np :pupCoffeeMH: [10:35:34] @theoneandonlylegroom Do you know why my TOC won't show even though I have fulfilled all the requirements (4 or more headers and TOC)? [10:38:55] I submitted a [steward permission request](https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions) a few days ago, but I haven’t had a response yet. Where can I see the current state of my request? [10:39:51] [1/3] no need to ping me, we are all volunteers here and anyone can chime in w/ help [10:39:51] [2/3] are we talking about main page? there might be `NOTOC` magic word preventing it [10:39:52] [3/3] also in default skin, Vector 2022, ToC is a part of sidebar [10:41:36] Sure thanks, I'll try these out [10:43:07] [1/2] which request exactly? [10:43:07] [2/2] bear in mind, Miraheze is fully run by volunteers, meaning that stewards and the likes get around their work when they have time, unless there's an emergency [10:45:39] I’ll see if I can send you a link or screenshot👍🏻 [10:45:40] Where can I find a list of my requests? [10:45:53] no need to send me anything [10:47:18] [1/4] you linked a request page, I'm asking what is your request [10:47:18] [2/4] but you can check your own contribution, there must be a link near your username at the top [10:47:19] [3/4] or your request was sent by email? [10:47:19] [4/4] in any way, I'm not in high rank volunteers circle so can't give you an ETA [11:01:21] So basically, we were setting up our Wiki and we accidentally removed the ‘manage permissions’ permission from the admin role😅 [11:01:31] I requested a full permission reset for our Wiki. [11:02:04] I submitted the request using the form on the page I linked; not via E-mail [12:35:12] is miraheze slow for anyone else [13:30:47] Which request is for your wiki? I don't see anything on that page that looks like the issue you're describing. [13:31:25] In any case, like Legroom said, we're all volunteers and Stewards review requests as time permits. They also try to prioritize them based on the impact of the issue. [13:32:01] well, it was [13:35:57]
