[00:22:16] Not the wrong area, and IRC still exists so people don’t have to use discord 🙂 [01:19:47] yeah but I knew as a fact that mono had a Discoed account because we were talking right before thay [01:19:49] That [01:20:42] I sometimes prefer to chat on IRC over discord lol [01:46:44] X2 [01:52:03] May seem like a simple question but it uncharted territory for me, what is the purpose of a module and what can you do with it? [02:12:57] [1/2] Templates are logic that lets you automate/consolidate repetitive tasks and repeated information. [02:12:58] [2/2] Modules are the next extension of that, and can do a lot through Lua scripting, including adding new functionality that MediaWiki doesn't do out of box. [02:15:21] E.g. templates let you make a fun "on this day" text box, modules potentially let you turn that into a full on interactive calendar [02:15:58] And extensions are this functionality extension made even simpler [02:20:41] On Wikipedia there is a bot that moves categories down to the bottom of the page and I think also sorts them alphabetically and removes duplicates. Is there a bot I can use on my wiki here because I have had a big problem of being stupid with category placement and such in the past [02:24:45] Knowing Wikipedia, that bot is probably open source [02:25:00] we don’t have a global bot for that, though it would be interesting [02:38:35] Hm, do you have any random examples of a module so I can understand its interactive capabilities? [02:38:38] [1/2] Also, how am I meant to create the HTML for a flexbox? Like just at the start of this article, it shows a simple example of HTML and then CSS. Where am I first meant to add the HTML so that I can then add CSS for it? [02:38:38] [2/2] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Core/CSS_layout/Flexbox [02:42:23] [[mh:phighting:Module:StoredCites]] [02:42:23]

[02:42:30] reads from a config file [02:43:13] https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Module:Currency [02:43:38] https://stoneworksmc.fandom.com/wiki/Module%3ACalendarUtil?so=search [03:13:43] hi how r u all doing [03:15:27] doin [03:46:05] better provide link as well, perhaps it's slow cache [03:46:21] i didn't know about that, i just searched through #support and the image map extension was the one which showed up to me first [03:51:58] can you link me to the extension? [03:58:48] in admin extensions menu you can click on titles of each extension, this will take you to mediawiki.org documentation [04:22:43] https://mortimersheroquest.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css [05:49:56] What extension do you use for preloading a portable infobox at creating a new page? [05:51:00] Preload namespace includes the ENTIRE template page, including the [05:51:33] And preloader doesnt include the template [05:59:43] inputbox has preload option, it works via another template that would work as basis of new page [06:00:23] Ill try that one thanks [06:01:01] page where that class is used? [06:01:11] wow that's a lot of boosts [06:01:47] https://mortimersheroquest.miraheze.org/wiki/Mortimer%27s_HeroQuest_Bestiary/The_Old_World/Warriors_of_Chaos [06:06:52] [1/5] no such class is used [06:06:53] [2/5] you need to define it in CSS as [06:06:53] [3/5] `.scroll-2-container td` [06:06:53] [4/5] instead of [06:06:53] [5/5] `.scroll-2-row` [06:07:33] or td, I can't remember rn [06:08:39] [1/3] in HTML table structure is [06:08:39] [2/3] .../td.../td/tr [06:08:39] [3/3] where tr is row, and td is a separate cell [06:08:59] th is header cell [06:23:05] Corrections made, see how it goes once the cache clears [06:29:30] did it work in element inspector? [06:30:58] it works .... I might just have to adjust colour picks >.> [06:32:53] it's handy to draft styling w/ browser tools [06:42:46] does anyone have a site they use to create imagemaps? [08:15:56] silly nitpick, I only seem to be able to separate a paragraph and a table by a double line break, not a single one, it just seems to ignores single line breaks. [08:18:58] [1/3] in wiki text/spurce code - yes [08:18:58] [2/3] `x [08:18:59] [3/3] y` [08:20:03] [1/3] if you want them appear closer you do [08:20:04] [2/3] `x
[08:20:04] [3/3] y` [08:26:12] [1/3] yeah, not sure I'm quite getting you. It will ever be [08:26:12] [2/3] `X` [08:26:12] [3/3] `Y` [08:28:59] [1/4] So I can get a simple. [08:29:00] [2/4] `X` [08:29:00] [3/4] `Y` [08:29:00] [4/4] Even with a
between them. [08:46:31] is that inside some div or table? [08:50:42] nope, between a paragraph and a table ... well I cheesed it,

got me a single linebreak [14:50:57] Still exists de eikitide premium option? Or just a name of the foundation. I remember it was for profit. [14:51:40] WikiForge? [14:51:59] That’s a separate thing from the WikiTide Foundation/Miraheze at this point [15:14:48] When I "fork" a wiki, it means that I'm making a copy of it correct? [15:17:59] is it possible that I can just fork only the templates of a wiki? [15:26:13] [1/4] Yes forking a wiki is making a near to total copy of an entire wiki. [15:26:13] [2/4] You can use `Special:Export` on a wiki, where you want specific pages from (templates are the most common to do that with indeed), which gives you an xml file, that you can put into `Special:Import` on your own wiki. [15:26:13] [3/4] A few wikis you can grab pages from directly in `Special:Import` without having to export from the source first. [15:26:13] [4/4] Also keep in mind due to the size and complexity of wikipedia, it is heavily discounraged to import pages from there, if it can at all be avoided, as they are super complex, and often will need several non-trivial adjustments to work, so far better off, trying to find what you need from other sources instead, if possible. [15:27:43] Yeah my friends run their own wiki which is quite similar to what I want to do so I was thinking of just copying their templates basically [15:33:36] is there a way into get all templates at once or do I have to go type by type? [15:40:23] if they categorised their templates, like Category:Templates, you can you that [15:41:22] [1/2] after clicking Add all templates in there will appear in the box [15:41:23] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1350131703208874064/IMG_20250314_184055.jpg?ex=67d59fa2&is=67d44e22&hm=78d2d3a75f46ebb9521912b0ff7afa4ab09652b335e365ab090c4dfd65d44b18& [15:42:06] not sure if it includes from subcategories so you just check [15:43:01] cool thanks [18:39:41] Can an image be stretched to a specific width and height? 300px x 300px for example. [19:04:12] You can do that and much more directly in the image link yes https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images#Syntax [19:54:46] How often is the Rotten Links script run? [20:48:54] Never, according to our docs, that script hasn't been needed for about 15 months [20:57:01] What [20:57:23] It was changed to update things on edit [20:57:28] Which tbh was news to me [20:57:36] Until I read puppet's history [20:59:29] Before it was overlapping itself. By the time it actually finished running one time it was already running again to update again. So it was never ending running which was causing some issues also. It automatically updating with a job is a bit more sane as well. [21:19:47] Why is "Status of external links" and Special:RottenLinks still there? [21:20:19] It's updated on edit [21:20:22] Not via script [21:23:48] If you edit a template that has a link, do all of the pages (we have hundreds) that use the template get their links updated? [21:30:11] Eventually [21:30:46] Mediawiki will reparse every page that includes that template via the job queue [21:30:55] Which in a worst case can take a few hours [21:38:23] Hello [21:38:52] I have a question about the dark mode. It doesn't work for my infoboxes. Is there a way of changing this with CSS? [21:39:11] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1350221750457339904/image.png?ex=67d5f37f&is=67d4a1ff&hm=0a93f25e1bb1199a881c0ce9213d4db42a24db6aa1c9a24fa262cb069084fd54& [21:41:21] Probably best to use #support [21:41:34] Ah right. I'll ask there [21:44:26] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1350223071583404042/VID-20250313-WA0009.mp4?ex=67d5f4ba&is=67d4a33a&hm=9486d09a6b54c430cca2c4a33377b5c9fc3f5589fcf00f5487879c4a742c6810& [21:45:41] What [21:45:50] Please don’t sent random videos with no use or relevance. [21:46:10] Oh my, I'm sorry, I thought I was in another server, my bad [22:06:44] Whats the CSS page that controls all the CSS again? [22:18:04] Does anyone know or who can help? [22:23:20] MediaWiki:Common.css [22:32:36] Cheers thank you [22:32:43] 👍 [23:03:33] Right I tried changing the background to black and that didnt work in common.css . I'm not sure where to change it [23:55:06] I use maschek imagemap
