[00:21:37] yeouch [00:22:10] heyy, who can I dm regarding nsfw wikis [00:22:48] oh nevermind I see [01:50:39] Is there anywhere I can request to make Special:WantedPages update faster for a bit? I really want to attempt to clean it up as much as it is possible and as quickly as possible before taking a long break. [02:02:47] i made a bunch of pages in wiki, why does it say 0 articles [02:03:11] Because it is cached [02:03:20] what [02:04:49] the number is saved on the server and will stay that way for a while [02:09:24] ah i see [02:09:29] just takes awhile to update [02:14:13] Is there anywhere I can request to make Special:WantedPages update faster for a bit? I really want to attempt to clean it up as much as it is possible and as quickly as possible before taking a long break. [02:36:01] after i upload an otf font file how do i use it in css? [02:58:09] can u purge it [02:59:23] [1/7] replace with the url of the actual otf file [02:59:23] [2/7] ```css [02:59:23] [3/7] @font-face { [02:59:24] [4/7] font-family: FontName; [02:59:24] [5/7] src: url("https://static.wikitide.net/WIKINAME/2/26/FontName.otf") format("opentype"); [02:59:24] [6/7] } [02:59:25] [7/7] ``` [03:00:25] I don't think I have permission for that [03:00:44] im pretty sure anyone can purge a page [03:00:51] dont quote me on that [03:01:09] How do you purge a page? [03:01:38] [1/2] something like this, depends on skin ofc [03:01:39] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1354289165000511498/image.png?ex=67e4bf92&is=67e36e12&hm=47ce9a24f05c91fc6d6de29d2b7aba8355ccc72ff36cb3c2fc44e02b60a8ec8a& [03:03:28] [1/2] I see nothing remotely like that here [03:03:28] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1354289622212935710/image.png?ex=67e4bfff&is=67e36e7f&hm=6c1ac87f101ba28bf71e556955c4084081dd060e1d14c611e7efad9311b9d803& [03:03:40] can u link the wiki [03:03:55] https://shinto.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:WantedPages [03:04:16] ig special pages cant be purged [03:04:18] kinda makes sense [03:06:01] Yeah the specific thing behind it is basically I want to try to ideally in a day or so clear out all my wanted pages or at least compile a list of them because I want to reach a good point before taking a break [03:07:48] right [03:07:53] so it updated every 3 days [03:08:38] however there is an [open task](https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12835) on phorge to add the RefreshSpecial extension [03:09:46] so just wait ig lol [03:10:22] I don't think that is necessary [03:10:40] wdym [03:10:51] Because I think there is some kind of automatic special pages refresh thing on the back end [03:11:01] yeah its every 3 days [03:11:48] No, I am pretty sure it is configured somewhere in the back end [03:13:18] im confused on what you're referring to [03:13:41] every 3 days all wikis' special pages are updated via {{mw:Manual:updateSpecialPages.php}} [03:13:44]

[03:14:17] I an looking for it to happen automatically every day [03:15:21] i doubt miraheze would be willing to do that just for your wiki (or all) but i suppose you could try [03:16:11] maybe suggest a way of configuring special pages update frequency via ManageWiki? (https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/7/) [03:16:16] They do it for other things, but I am asking here whether it is even possible [03:16:36] im not sure [03:16:41] i would make a task [03:16:56] or ask in #support [03:26:23] We could on request, not every day I’d think yeah [03:29:18] [1/2] i think im doing this wrong? i am trying to do those infoxboes in wikis that say true name, nickname, likes, etc etc [03:29:18] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1354296125489676502/image.png?ex=67e4c60d&is=67e3748d&hm=3ebb34d7e53e09c910cac6d8e32a83fe8eb8ac114ad7fb67f57f4878afa20f02& [03:42:30] What about doing it for a month or so? Just long enough to get what I am doing done [03:44:33] Can’t really answer that, more of a tech question [03:50:44] [1/3] there's more than just CSS [03:50:45] [2/3] you can copy ofc, but if you don't know basics it's easy to mess up [03:50:45] [3/3] ptw infoboxes are wrapped in additional div [04:07:47] Devwiki is best for taking stuff, PTW has stuff people are testing, so may be broken [04:08:13] Anyone got wikis were it's possible to see how stuff's laid out? I'm that type of person [04:08:21] Like, coding/template wise [04:10:18] laid out how [04:10:40] Any wiki has its templates and css on the wiki [04:11:06] basically what it looks like on the editing page, under the hood because im having trouble with layouts and I need stuff to be in front of me for practical reference [04:12:42] [1/2] I was reviewing my to-do lists, and found the original Launch Plan for the [wiki](https://capoeirawiki.org/) I work on. Since some people already sent me email and messages asking about how-to launch a wiki, I decided to share this original plan on meta.miraheze.org. Along with a quote from a seasoned wikieditor. I hope this will be useful of new wiki-creators: https://meta.miraheze [04:12:42] [2/2] .org/wiki/User:Mayuxi/Wiki_Launch_Plan [04:59:29] ptw is pizza tower wiki lol [05:01:30] i keep forgetting about public test wiki [05:01:50] Thats an unfortunate abbrevation cause most people I know use PTW as testwiki [05:15:45] element inspector and source editor? [05:16:20] you can do that on any wiki, wikis where editing is limited have "see source" instead of edit [05:19:39] ...fuck, I'm really off today because I should have thought of that [05:20:34] that's literally how i learned shit back on wikia [05:22:04] [1/2] actually see, I'm off now too, it's 8am [05:22:04] [2/2] you can CSS layed out on MediaWiki: pages ofc, inspector is more for your own poking [05:22:32] Otherwise, I've managed to manually input stuff in info boxes but in the source editor, if I try to use the visual one, it gives me "undocumented parameters" when I have stuff [05:23:06] visual editor doesn't like templates and requires templatedata, additional code on template [05:23:15] it's an extension [05:23:20] Ahh [05:23:57] it's not hard to add but yeah, more hassle [05:24:02] Would it play nice if I coded stuff from vertically just for my eyesight sake? [05:24:06] I suggest to just stick to source [05:24:35] there's syntax highlight, marker button, in source [05:24:45] Oooo sezy [05:24:55] sezy [05:24:59] Mmm love me highlights [05:25:01] im gonna use that now [05:25:08] Ha [05:26:19] But yeah ngl I'm feeling g terribly overwhelmed due to unrelated things so that might be affecting my reasoning [05:26:57] My autistic brain is not liking the fact that neighbours are cooking so much spicy food [09:31:48] [1/2] Indeed. You placed the documentation on `Template:Infobox character`, but should be on `Template:Infobox character/doc` [09:31:48] [2/2] The Info you need to copy is from `Template:Infobox character` to `Template:Infobox character` [09:39:54] template loops mean that the Template you're using is using the same Template [09:40:24] [1/5] for example [09:40:25] [2/5] Template:IceSpice has ``` [09:40:25] [3/5] {{IceSpice}} [09:40:25] [4/5] ``` [09:40:26] [5/5] the template IceSpice is using template IceSpice [10:23:05] CP. [11:16:35] [1/2] “CP.” [11:16:35] [2/2] - PixDeVl 2025 [11:16:56] https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171 [11:24:04] Yeah, you guys seem to have your own issues, don't you? Well, I once again ask this: Do I copy and paste the code from the documentation or do I edit the documentation itself so that it works? Especially since the infobox seems to not work on the documentation itself, save for the bottom example. [11:30:40] try copy and pasting the code from the documentation [11:33:32] could you possibly send a link to what youre talking about ? [11:34:03] Okay then! I think that would make diagnosing the problem easier! [11:34:30] And this time, I won't hold back! https://fnafa.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:SimpleInfobox [11:36:26] i think you're talking about templatedata? [12:11:52] the mediawiki ux as a whole is not good [12:12:03] it needs a full refresh [12:12:21] it carries over to skins too [12:13:18] like citizen looks nice but it’s sometimes annoying and weird to use [12:14:35] [1/2] I've just heard about MH moving to CF for DNS, but I didn't get any memo about it. For clarification, wikis that have a subdomain record on the DNS settings are fine? [12:14:35] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1354428316651622410/image.png?ex=67e5412a&is=67e3efaa&hm=0df06349c4e02b92c6d4d7361060cbf60f3f06fb194ab6e8558f3993a2a95923& [12:14:41] like there are buttons for switching between tabs instead of tabs [12:14:50] yes [12:40:28] Is that why the template looks the way it does? [13:38:15] Others having issues with the notifications not working? [13:38:56] Ah.. probably a glitch as it is back again [13:41:18] i once saw a module for less used string functions [13:41:26] can anyone help me find it [13:41:59] what are you looking for exactly [13:47:10] it was similar to [[w:Module:String]] [13:47:11]

[13:48:48] oh nvm found it [13:49:13] [[w:Module:String2]] [13:49:14]

[14:16:04] is there a way to view the most visited pages? [14:17:58] special:statistics i think [14:18:00] wait no [14:18:04] Special:Analytics [14:18:12] no to like [14:18:14] link it [14:18:28] [1/2] something like this [14:18:28] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1354459492280172655/image.png?ex=67e55e33&is=67e40cb3&hm=8595930ee0bfe1ce54ab459de4df603c05225090c9559db62d6760912b7b0a05& [14:24:43] nah i dont think that exists [14:37:45] how could i remove the requirement of adding comment text in commentstreams? is there any option?

[2/2] [15:48:06] it's a function of WikiSEO extension, it helps wiki yo appear in search engines [15:48:16] oh [15:48:17] good to know [15:48:19] thanks [15:48:37] anyone know how to make this work [15:48:38] i [15:48:44] i dont really know what to callt hi [15:57:48] anyone ? [16:00:02] https://aventuresdiscordiennes.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Timeless.css [16:00:16] here's the css for anyone interested in helping me figure out the issue [16:00:38] (based on the PTW css with permission) [16:03:14] (not asking for anyone to edit it, but rather to point out the issue so that I can fix it myself) [16:16:56] Hi 👋 [16:17:50] yoo fnf fan [16:18:01] 🥹 [16:18:05] hi!! [16:18:09] Hi hi [16:19:03] [1/2] Just started a wiki with a friend a few days ago [16:19:04] [2/2] and I'm trying to learn how to use Miraheze [16:19:09] what's the topiiic [16:19:19] uh ... [16:19:26] if that's not indiscrete [16:19:30] I'm just a little bit curious [16:19:50] [1/2] Can't talk about it yet 😌 [16:19:51] [2/2] secret project [16:19:57] alrighty [16:20:22] but yeah I've done work on fandom wikis tho so I haven't been doing too bad [16:22:12] [1/2] I do have a question i wanted to ask, because I couldn't find a solution to this, although it might be like really simple. [16:22:12] [2/2] How do I change what the default page is called ? Because it starts off as just "Main Page", so I tried redirecting but that didn't exactly work. [16:22:30] should i ask this in the support channel ? [16:23:22] [1/2] MediaWiki:Mainpage defines the landing page of the wiki [16:23:22]
