[00:00:29] I’ve requeued this for importing [00:00:36] alright, thanks [00:01:30] how do i reopen a request [00:01:50] if it doesn't work i can try resubmitting the XML without history, it's not that big of a deal to preserve history since fandom wikis can't be deleted anyway [00:02:14] nvm got it [00:02:29] since they don't even allow linking before i think what, a month? [00:03:31] It’s okay. The history is actually needed for legal reasons but I don’t think that’s the issue. If it happens again then it has to be some critical flaw with our own software which we will have to investigate [00:05:04] tbh i forgot that you do actually need to preserve history [00:05:10] but hopefully it does work [00:07:29] If seems it’s working [00:10:57] weird [00:11:07] they do say they're being imported but going to the page/page history shows nothing [00:13:50] 57624 [00:14:04] oof alright thanks [01:27:17] Can you ask the AVID Community Discord to create a spin-off discord server for the Opening Sequences & Closings Archive (OSCA) Wiki? [01:35:05] does anybody know how to create a simple sidebox like [[w:Module:Shortcut]] [01:35:06] [01:53:21] Entirely outside of Miraheze’s domain, advise you to join their discord and ask [03:41:24] Hi guys [03:41:43] i have a quick question [03:41:48] how do we make it when you hover over a citation [03:41:50] that you see the citation [03:41:54] or tap it on mobile [03:41:55] etc [03:42:17] [1/2] like this [03:42:17] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359735211314774096/image.png?ex=67f88f99&is=67f73e19&hm=8ab6e7440bdf06092c911e506bfc598043217df1a7e3b82568492df35760d7bf& [03:57:14] Hm, I can’t remember at the moment the name of the extension, the footnotes are the [[mw:Help:Cite]], I don’t know if the popup is something else [03:57:15] [05:10:54] For the cache issue that is around atm, is my wiki `lhmnwiki` on one of those that have legacy cache? [06:11:20] im divided between vector and citizen for a skin choice 💔 [06:11:46] frfr [06:15:43] is there a way to basically remove most of the color settings from citizen [06:22:36] The legacy caching infrastructure is only used for custom domains that haven't migrated to Cloudflare [06:22:54] miraheze.org wikis long moved to our newer infrastructure [06:58:43] yes, using css. for example this snippet removes the auto and midnight modes: https://github.com/Roblox-Indie-Wikis/snippets/blob/main/citizen%2Fdisable-extra-themes.css [07:21:38] if i want a custom bg image which skin is the best one ? [07:22:00] rn i have cosmos [07:28:11] it doesn't really matter since it's gonna be mostly covered by page content [07:28:48] w/ vector 2022, timeless (w/o modding) or cosmos you'll have it visible from both side of the screen [07:29:20] on more trad wiki look like old vector or monobook you'll have only left side [08:19:54] oh [08:20:11] idk how to set up bg for timeless [08:20:51] only cosmos offers easy way to set up background image, the rest require CSS poking [08:23:42] i figured [09:41:46] so like genuine question is there anything remotely close to a hardware ban here on miraheze [09:43:04] this guy that we banned on the fandom version of our wiki keeps coming back ceaselessly and it's starting to get annoying because he literally exists just to cause inconveniences for people by making crappy edits that make no sense [09:51:55] [1/3] this happening on Miraheze? [09:51:55] [2/3] then #cvt [09:51:55] [3/3] there are abuse filter and IP range ban solutions, for example [09:52:18] ty [09:52:24] ill make a report in the morning [09:54:27] he's socket puppeting, makes new accounts after getting a ban? [09:54:33] yes [11:10:08] I will take a glance [11:19:09] Heya. Just a quick question, are Google Drive links allowed on Miraheze? I'm making a wiki for my OC story, and the primary place I'm writing it (and therefore, where people read it) is on Google Docs. [11:20:02] Yeah no issue [11:20:16] I do wish there was a better place to write/read it, but Docs is my primary go-to because of the versatility it offers while being completely free. [11:20:35] coloring of text, formatting text in certain ways, and the like. [11:20:45] I’m not sure what the point of having a wiki is if you’re only using GDocs but we won’t stop ya :shrug: [11:21:09] Well, because my story is so expansive and versatile. [11:22:11] I've written quite a lot, and I feel it'd be nicer to have an "offical wiki" for multiple things in the story, rather than a single, huge document. [11:22:54] Though I guess it really just comes down to preference. [11:23:46] That plus the fact that editors can make edits to pages without the edits being reflected right then and there while they're typing. [11:23:47] hi [11:23:54] I want to create a yo kai watch wiki [11:24:03] they say it needs more information before a decision is made [11:24:10] again, probably just a preference thing more than anything else. [11:24:18] were they specific in what information was needed [11:25:28] [1/2] > The request for the "Gera Gera Wiki" is focused on the Yo-kai Watch franchise, which is a valid topic for a fandom wiki. However, the description lacks specific details about the intended content and structure of the wiki. Please provide more information on what specific aspects of Yo-kai Watch you plan to cover, such as character profiles, episode guides, or game walkthroughs. [11:25:28] [2/2] Additionally, clarify how this wiki will differ from existing resources and how it will address the issues of misinformation and incompleteness mentioned. Thank you for using Miraheze. [11:26:56] yeah, wiki sounds better for thag with multiple pages [11:27:59] Sounds to me you may need to be more verbose about the scope of the wiki. Eg. what parts of Yo-kai Watch are you going to focus on in the wiki? Is it speedruns, or maybe the anime? [11:28:13] basically what the ai wanted there was briefly about what it would actually do like document events, walkthroughs or whatever is relevant [11:28:28] perhaps a bit of what the franchise is [11:28:28] Mostly the story and general information [11:28:46] the description is all in on 'I like it but the current sources are bad' which is valid but limited [11:29:42] It may have been tripped up by that "general information" part. "General Information" can classify a multitude of things, so you may need to be less broad about what "general information" includes. [11:30:05] general information about the franchise [11:30:09] that wasn't specified in the request [11:30:19] (to war) [11:30:31] [1/2] this is the request [11:30:31] [2/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/57699 [11:30:37] Mhm, but still, better safe rather than sorry. [11:31:42] part of the prompting of the queue comes down to also, can you give an overview; it would be a weak wiki page in any context that doesn't give a solid overview of what is being covered [11:32:16] Mhm. It would also help consolidate certain info into certain sections. Plus, ease of access to anyone without requiring a gmail account, as well. [11:32:32] not requiring a gmail is a mission I can get behind any day [11:32:52] Should I say general overview of the franchise? [11:33:42] would 'it will will describe gameplay, story and other general information about the franchise' be accurate? [11:34:17] utg.miraheze.org/discord (or any other miraheze wiki) leads to the miraheze discord [11:34:23] Consolidation of information and ease of access makes having a wiki much more accessible to every kind of person. Plus, in the future, if and when I could get official translators, it would make having multiple languages about any given subject much simpler. [11:34:32] Yeah I think so [11:34:42] by the way, what does 'gera gera' refer to [11:34:44] also information about specific yokai [11:34:51] gera gera po and gera gera resort [11:35:16] I do believe "Gera Gera" is a reference to some things in the anime, if I am correct. [11:35:24] ah [11:35:29] Particularly the OP(?) [11:35:50] Maybe other things too, but I personally haven't watched it. [11:36:02] I don't usually jump into queue like this because it's unfair to work it out of order, but I've gone ahead and approved [11:36:05] save everyone time [11:36:47] Exactly. Saves a lot of people huge amounts of time and effort. [11:37:06] less data for the abc data farm [11:37:26] Plus, instead of linking to a heavy, multi-page long google document, I can instead link to a dedicated wiki. [11:37:53] Exactly. [11:38:00] Less data to them, the better. [11:38:12] Down with the corpos, V. [11:38:28] there are alternative formats to google drive but they're more enthusiast and definitely dial back on the straight up convenience [11:38:33] the best I know is cryptpad [11:38:42] Duly noted. [11:39:19] on the other hand cryptpad takes pains to ensure what you create is actually your business and doesn't feed ai or get scraped in other ways, so [11:39:36] I have been wanting to find an alternative to host my story, but because of the types of formatting I have in multiple chapters, it's difficult to find one that has similar functionality. [11:40:20] cryptpad does a whole office suite [11:40:31] I originally wrote the whole thing on Wattpad before migrating over to docs, which was an upgrade in some sense... but even now I'm grasping for something more reliable. [11:40:32] I'd be surprised if it doesn't have a pretty close match in some menu or another [11:41:00] it's based on something else, I'll have to look up what it is [11:41:15] I'll have to check it out, then. Could be a good replacement to docs. [11:41:40] only issue is transferring all of what i have right now onto it... [11:41:41] oh yeah and it's open source & self hostable [11:42:13] lemme check how many words there are in the first two acts [11:42:51] [1/2] 65,205 in Act one. [11:42:51] [2/2] 45,183 in Act two. [11:43:24] and then already in Act three, which is still a work in progress, there are two chapters that are over 11k words. [11:43:26] EACH. [11:43:49] depending how many files you are, it might come down to how beefy your clipboard is & how much formatting correction is needed [11:43:54] there are* [11:44:15] Safe to say, it'd be a pain to transfer absolutely everything from my docs to there. [11:44:50] Each character has their own unique color they use for speaking.💔💔💔💔 [11:45:00] may still transplant [11:45:09] mhm. depends on how it works. [11:45:16] depending how easy it is to get up and go on cryptpad I might be able to test it in a bit [11:45:33] but if it doesnt... god im gonna be in for a long weekend. [11:45:35] eeeh, that would be a big detour [11:45:57] I'll test it later. Either that, or when I get home from school. [11:46:58] Depends on where cryptpad is. If its a web app, then I may be able to do it on my phone, but I'll probably want to wait till I get home. [11:47:09] [1/2] Is this good? [11:47:09] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359857231583121590/image.png?ex=67f9013c&is=67f7afbc&hm=88f2a0c88e1b678bc7add7eb4f1c546fda060865bb375ef224a94951d9589165& [11:47:15] funny, nextcloud also does docs [11:47:35] no further steps needed, it is approved [11:47:45] however you're free to drop that in as a comment to supplement a little more [11:47:57] It's already approved? [11:48:02] Awesome! [11:48:10] yeah, I went ahead based on the conversation [11:48:26] Thank you so much [11:48:34] the second blurb has good bits that would be worth adding on for the record [11:49:07] . [11:49:45] might be on dev wiki [11:55:01] Alright, since every Wiki has to start somewhere, I'll try making pages about Nate, Katie, the Yo-kai Watch, Whisper, and Jibanyan [11:57:25] How do I make a new page? [11:58:39] using search or by typing in URL or by making a "create page" input box w/ one of 3 extensions [11:58:48] oh ok [11:58:52] nice [12:27:35] im defo gonna come here for coding support though. i already feel like im gonna fumble a lot... [12:27:47] secret weapon: chatpgt [12:27:55] no. [12:28:02] dont be ashamed to use it, you can learn alot [12:28:08] put dont be copying and pasting [12:28:13] thats shameful [12:28:17] im sorry but i outright refuse to use GPT [12:28:19] someone tried here, js or lua, i don't remember, it wasn't good lol [12:28:41] works ok for me, its really for the general idea and I go from there [12:28:58] he is more like a wiki for the functions [12:29:01] as an avid writer who is in the midst of writing her own ass story, as well as someone who wants to become a potential voice actor... no. [12:29:06] fair [12:29:07] not fucking happening. [12:29:14] yeah well, it won't help you w/ specific cases like for mediawiki [12:29:28] ill find out ig lol [12:29:45] still not approved, figured out im on the bottom of the 95 people list to be approved [12:29:49] im sorry but GPT is a fucking plague upon this earth. [12:29:54] (it was 97 2 days ago) [12:30:11] why do you say that [12:30:22] I get all the art stealing [12:30:30] they just mentioend they want to keep their job/hobby/talent [12:30:31] but not for other stuff [12:31:03] Im sorry but gpt is ass at story telling you're probally wayyyyy better [12:31:15] 100% [12:32:14] the one thing I DO hate about ai is how it autosorted me into the wait longer list for the domain approval [12:32:18] lets see here... Plagarism, its outright wrong on so many cases, blatantly spews misinformation, is a gateway to even more fucked up things, leads to people becoming astronomically lazy and dense, and it is worse than google more often than not. [12:32:43] yeah thats fair. But I dont use it to do that [12:32:52] I would never do that [12:32:53] GPT means fucking nothing to me and I wish only the worst upon its creators. [12:33:44] doesnt matter if you dont do that, many people still fucking do. [12:34:34] one good action doesnt outweigh the hundreds upon thousands of people [12:35:21] I, for one, prefer to keep my autonomy and human feelings. [12:39:12] using AI doesn't teach you anything. You don't learn anything from having AI spew out things that you want to see. The entire purpose of why art and writing is so enjoyable to make and get better at is because its difficult to get better at them. Difficulty creates a drive to do more, and get better. AI doesn't give you any of that [12:40:39] You're not learning anything by asking AI "oh yeah give me a code for this thing". You're just taking the answer of a programmed robot that is infamous for giving out false information. [12:41:08] ai tech one way or another is here to stay [12:41:23] what remains now is promoting, using, replacing big corpo slop with actually more ethical variations [12:41:41] gpt, gemini leading the charge [12:42:05] I haven't looked too much into llama but iirc that's developed by facebook and facebook is an equal/worse offender who had their fingers caught elbow deep in the jar [12:42:15] despite it being a self hostable solution [12:42:24] that doesnt mean we have to deal with it taking the things we created with our own two hands and melding it together to make something that vaguely resembles the input. [12:43:08] oh we're dealing with it even if that means things like putting gpt scrapers into black hole loops, attempts to corrupt the data they scrape, or wholesale blocking chunks of the internet for it [12:43:09] AI may be here to stay but that doesn't mean we have to use it. [12:43:30] I am entirely unopposed to using ethically built and locally processed models [12:43:40] I have a total aversion to anything outside those boundaries [12:43:54] that i can respect. [12:44:23] but i dont believe that there ever actually will be an "ethically built" model of AI. [12:44:26] a game forum I administer is at the point of cloudflare in permanent under attack mode + blocking brazil straight up because of scumbag scrapers [12:44:30] that, is a problem [12:44:50] there already are ethically built models, it's just that they're naturally less effective and go well under radar [12:47:00] No matter how "ethical" AI gets, the primary premise it is built upon is scraping info and compiling info, even if said info is copyrighted or protected. [12:47:21] I won't trust AI for as long as I live. [12:47:24] there's also 'foundations' you can train yourself and go from there, which further limit how many people will use them and for what, but still have certain values [12:47:54] but the best qualified models still have the problem of fundamentally being input data -> ??? -> result of never guaranteed accuracy [12:48:18] for this reason I can never quite trust them and my ethical carveout is more theoretical as that would still deter my actual use [12:48:56] they are confident regurgitators and the use of that becomes limited even with models that do say screw copyright and get the best possible data [12:49:02] In my view, AI will always pale in comparison to real, human conversation and questions. [12:49:36] ai is a tool, it is never to be compared to human conversation; and indeed, as a tool, it is only ever derivative of what humans made and put in, and is objectively proven to degrade dramatically when it feeds on its own kind [12:49:50] If you want info, take it from people, not a trained vomit machine. [12:49:55] in fact I wouldn't even call it ai, that brings up historic mythasizing about intelligence [12:50:30] it's just a model that soaks things, chews on them, spits something out. And there is practical use to that depending on the context. But as it exists that will remain limited [12:55:46] I specifically said I dont copy paste I learn [12:56:06] this [12:56:19] You gotta learn how to use it before you get left behind [12:57:34] the fuck you mean "get left behind" [12:57:42] i dont need to use it. [12:57:54] hold on im gotta type smth long [12:57:56] i have my own skills and my own intuition [12:58:31] I want you to realize "use AI or you will be left behind" is the same shit AI bros parrot. [12:58:55] No one needs to use it. It isn't necessary. [12:58:57] I think we could not use it a fair amount more than we do, but then, I advocate not following along with microsoft and refusing windows 11 by potentially radical means [12:59:05] I was helping my dad with his company and he had a problem, people, a lot of people, were applying for something, he was paying a lot of money to get people to read the apps, and instead we hooked up gpt with an api to smartsheet and saved a ton of money and time [12:59:25] now he can do more apps then the competitor, who was left behind because they didnt use ai [13:00:24] oh hey, discussion on "AI" [13:00:32] hi [13:00:35] who are you [13:00:35] you have to accept the truth that technology is evolving and we cant do anything about it now [13:00:39] a good mod would say this was long meant for off topic [13:00:46] 🤫 [13:00:48] I'm a medicore mod so I only suggest it [13:00:52] This comes with the caveats of false positives and false negatives, which are painfully frequent when using AI on such a broad thing such as applications. [13:00:56] exact same thing people said about computers years ago btw [13:01:10] well not for us [13:01:22] I think you havnt used it in a while, its way better now [13:01:24] THAT DOESNT MEAN IT DOESNT HAPPEN?!? [13:01:27] or rather, I'd strongly consider it if someone does stop in seeking support, but since nobody is right now it's fine [13:01:47] if it does makes errors, its way less than a human would [13:01:58] I have seen it work out fine in practical applications as long as you keep an eye out for errors, and it's probably faster to skim over ai errors than to do the entire work from start to finish [13:02:09] it depends on context of course [13:02:23] it was only check boxes and suhc [13:02:32] Whether it makes mistakes it really depends on model and application of model. The commercial general usage models make so many mistakes [13:02:35] Would a human make an error on the level of denying someone due to a misunderstanding of a sentence. [13:02:41] are you real? [13:02:48] frisk is real [13:02:52] AI will absolutely make mistakes. Numerous ones. [13:02:53] so far as anyone on the internet can be [13:03:04] why is he using an app to talk [13:03:08] irc [13:03:10] i'm speck of your imagination (also, very real goat from the IRC bridged to Discord) [13:03:12] it is bridged with discord [13:03:17] not for us so I cant agree with you there [13:03:23] AI takes things at face value- thats what it does. That's what it is PROGRAMMED to do. [13:03:37] good thing checkboxes are always what they mean [13:03:43] It can't look deeper than what is said on the surface. [13:03:57] if ai for a certain application consistently produces better results than doing it by hand from start to finish, and the error correction still takes less work, then it is only logical to do the action that objectively reduces workload. Sometimes it doesn't need to have that advanced intelligence to be useful. [13:04:03] I wrote my piece on AI on Miraheze's Community portal in topic gathering feedback for possible future RfC [13:04:26] Clearly opinions are divided on the topic :P [13:04:35] extremely [13:04:39] (https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_portal#%F0%9F%93%9D_Request_for_Feedback_%E2%94%80_AI-generated_content for those curious) [13:04:47] yes, I think war makes a good point here, but absolutely not in this context [13:04:55] GPT isnt just a "one size fits all" sort of thing, anyway. [13:05:17] then it is good to note there are many models tuned to many different applications, of various degree of quality of course [13:05:19] Saying that it hasnt caused issues for you personally doesn't mean that it hasn't caused issues for others. [13:05:38] but their issues do not bother me [13:05:38] but life is a matter of using tools that are effective for the job. It is irrelevant if it caused issues for others. If you use it and it works, then that goes a long way. [13:05:57] if other people are using it wrong thats on them [13:06:14] thats like asking chatGPT to pick up an apple and getting mad when it says it cant [13:06:32] I use it to its abilitys and im thriving [13:06:35] we make those compromises all the time, from the despicable state of how meat is made cheap for general use to how things are produced in countries with a loose or total disregard for human rights [13:06:58] realistically I almost disregard the copyright scruples of ai paired with the weight of those issues [13:07:24] So then if someone is using it "right", and gets an error due to a flaw in the AI code, is it them "using it wrong"? [13:07:26] this is to say I'm personally uncomfortable with straight up gpt use, but am not going to go after others who do use those models [13:07:37] An error in the code of the AI itself is not in their control. [13:07:48] if someone is using it right, gets an error, fails to consider there may be errors and does a check over, and that is pushed to production: that is user error [13:08:06] and does not do a check over* [13:08:11] But it is their job to make sure it works, of course vibe coding wont work well. [13:08:21] also it will probally be better in less than a year [13:08:27] 4.5 came out February [13:09:13] also again, if it doesnt work over and over again, your using it wrong [13:09:22] blind trust of a model without considering risk and errors I'd actually say is improper use, but it is still the case that it can be used to chomp out legwork and reduce the human role to review, which can be far faster than doing every aspect from start to finish [13:09:27] and also, even master coders never code perfectly the first time [13:09:51] thats why we write code on computers with backspace buttons [13:10:03] I'm especially weary of it in code but I come from a general dislike of how bloated and layered abstraction it has all become [13:10:27] yeah again, I would never use it to code, just to learn things from code [13:10:31] Look, I'm saying that AI is absolutely not as necessary as you claim it to be. Human distinction will always be better in my view than the automated response of a bot. [13:10:41] I think you are arguing a strawman here war [13:10:52] maybe for therapy, but not for automation lines [13:11:08] the topic is not so absolutely black and white [13:11:31] We've done automation lines in the past, without AI. [13:11:37] yes we are both talking about diffrent things right now [13:11:38] We've done this before. [13:11:50] so I think we should stop, we are both on diffrent topics [13:11:57] it is indeed not black and white [13:12:13] he is talking about art and compassion, I am talking about ai automation, completly diffrent [13:12:28] *she, please [13:12:39] thanks [13:12:48] this ai convo happened because of your suggestion of using gpt for code assistance not_here [13:12:59] to learn [13:13:03] not to copy and paste [13:13:08] again... [13:13:18] What do you learn from an AI spewing what it is told to? [13:13:43] A teacher [13:13:44] ask it to elaborate on why the code functions? [13:13:52] there are nice low-power models that provide alt text for images without alt text on Fediverse, I'd say it's a nice example of ethical usage of a model, though its worth noting that those models can still produce bad output that may have bias [13:13:54] ok brb [13:14:17] I asked what do you learn, not what you get. [13:14:31] wait what code [13:14:48] anything, I dont have an example at the moment [13:15:00] I can ask it for one [13:15:27] Please take this conversation to #offtopic - as far as I can tell, besides the sparse mention of the AI RfC on the community portal, this is not related to Miraheze [13:15:36] Im yet to even get approved 😩 for the wiki so I dont know what to do [13:15:39] roger that [13:16:55] ty [13:17:13] is there anything blocked on wiki? did not see any when I checked in earlier [13:18:17] [1/2] sorry i had a fellow compile a list but he hasnt gotten back to me yet so i dont have anything else but these usernames atm [13:18:17] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359880164091105510/Screenshot_20250410_061739_Discord.jpg?ex=67f91698&is=67f7c518&hm=38a4050ea79ff194b024ddea1a9e5721e7496d7fbdbe23999d247fc2cc23a4ef& [13:21:47] did this fella register under an original darwin account on miraheze, or would that be on Fandom? [13:22:05] it'd be on fandom [13:22:17] to my knowledge he's harassed a bunch of other wikis there as well [13:25:16] his first name was Winnername when we banned him on miraheze [13:25:20] if there are more I will grab them from the local block log, there seems to be a basis to investigate [13:25:42] i can provide evidence of his behavior on fandom its quite well documented [13:25:46] winnername is not visible on centralauth [13:25:57] if there is documentation I can transport/link in CVT space for future reference [13:26:34] yeah that's pretty much all we got sorry [13:26:41] its pretty aggravating [13:26:57] kind of his entire MO [13:27:04] plenty to go on I think [13:41:29] Many hours has passed, and Images refused to load in Miraheze. Why won't Mirahze Servers have proper maintenance? [13:41:46] It has been many times that Miraheze is on Cloudflare [13:42:21] no one else has reported issues which means they’re exclusively on your side [13:42:40] if you share your wiki’s URL then maybe we can check if it’s something like permissions [13:42:57] [1/3] ok, so miraheze has a couple tools for deterrence: abuse filters (for specific behaviors), IP (which stewards can look into among other things for detection), some other things such as eliminating certain patterns from usernames. But there isn't a whole lot if the first two aren't effective that are long term steps and after that point it comes down to whack a mole [13:42:57] [2/3] . [[Privacy Policy]] greatly limits what we can retain in the long term so for example if he went quiet for 6 months straight and came back, we'd depend on cvt general insights and what stewards remember to rediscover them again. But I can lay out a few steps ip level shortly and that could deter them to some extent. I'm not sure how effective an abuse filter would [13:42:58] [3/3] be given the pattern of edits at a glance to one of the accounts. Stuff like hwid or harsher fingerprinting is out of our scope as a matter of privacy and technical capacity I'm afraid [13:42:58] [13:43:08] unhelpful [13:43:20] It's happening on Polcompball Anarchy and Philosophyball Wiki [13:43:25] Even on Meta-Wiki [13:43:30] it’s a you issue then [13:43:35] It's a Wiki-Wide Situation [13:43:47] all I can suggest is trying to clear your cache [13:43:48] I'm not having it, agent's not having it, you're the only report and it's gone on a while [13:43:50] the duck quacks [13:44:05] what does viewing https://static.wikitide.net/rainversewiki/a/a8/Wings.png show you [13:44:09] for proper support in the future you need to be more specific on the issue and curb on the sass [13:44:56] I tried hard reset many times [13:45:07] hard reset? [13:45:45] Ctrl+Shift+R [13:45:49] ah [13:46:09] what's the response for any file on static.wikitide.net (e.g. https://static.wikitide.net/rainversewiki/a/a8/Wings.png) [13:46:35] Downtime Screen and Cloudflare Verification [13:46:41] screenshot? [13:47:38] I don't have enough time to send it [13:47:42] ooookay [13:47:44] 🤔 [13:48:36] found the request lol [13:49:07] So, is this a user problem? Or am I just in another server? [13:49:27] hitting a rate limit rule apparently [13:50:00] Well, It was experienced by other users in the Asian Server [13:50:12] > 5000 requests within 5 minutes [13:50:16] what in the hell [13:50:42] pt 2: this one will be a very nasty case of whack a mole for ip measure I'm afraid. Later I can put some deterrence down but I would expect more evasion going forward [13:51:47] I've been waiting for hours and the issue still persists [13:53:50] the ratelimiting rule applies for one day [13:54:05] Seems like 24 Hours [13:54:08] i'm kinda perplexed on how your ip sent 42k requests [13:54:21] It apparently started at the evening of 18 [13:54:45] How? Mostly from Polcompball Anarchy and Philosophyball Wiki [13:54:47] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359889352171196477/wot.png?ex=67f91f27&is=67f7cda7&hm=45749e392c102fb8db686116cb16db090ae2538c0274c30b66697c1daacd2786& [13:55:05] How does this work? [13:55:28] it's the chart of security events on cloudflare [13:55:30] specifically for your ip [13:55:39] timezone? [13:56:01] GMT+8 Ulaanabatar, Irkutsk, Beijing, Manila and Perth Time [13:56:26] So this explains why the multiple Cloudflare Loading Screens? [13:56:33] likely yes [13:56:45] considering that sending 5k reqs in 5m would lead to a 24h managed challenge [13:57:40] How does this happen? [13:57:44] By uploading images? [13:57:56] sending any http request i believe [13:58:23] What did I do? I was busy editing Polcompball Anarchy Wiki [13:58:38] I was editing my styles.css for many times in trial and error, and this happens? [13:59:25] [1/2] trigger the ratelimiting rule [13:59:25] [2/2] i'm not quite sure if i can see data prior to it being triggered since infra is generally not my thing [13:59:59] What exactly did I do by triggering the ratelimiting rule? By uploading too many images? Editing frequently on styles.css? [14:02:26] seems to be loading too many images [14:03:06] 99k reqs to static.wikitide.net for the past 24h... [14:03:28] referer is polcompballanarchywiki [14:05:43] Apparently, restarting the device works [14:05:56] probably because you got a new ip lol [14:06:35] I've always jumped IPs [14:06:42] Since the time before I used to be a Wikipedian [14:06:59] Now the mods kicked me out of the project because my userpage looks too pretty [14:17:00] [1/3] Hello everyone! I have some questions, I'm trying to put the logo for my wiki, the flavicon has changed, but not in some places like the bookmark tab, (I see rosetta code still has the flower icon), and I think there should also be the logo at the left side of uxnomicon in the title? Is my configuration wrong?

If I upload anyway, will that cause issues with anything to do with commons or will it just overwrite it "locally" on my wiki? [15:47:12] Ah, it seems I can just ignore it. (I typo'd the search and got no results, got the answer when I fixed that typo lol) [15:47:15] no issues, local image will override [16:07:31] I made a stewards request days ago and I've gotten nothing. [16:09:31] Not a single "we'll look into it" and I was told "it happens all the time" and "should just be a couple of clicks" [16:29:45] what is it [16:30:30] @fightthedystopia please link your request [16:31:08] I don't even know where to find it. [16:31:41] what's your username? [16:31:57] on Miraheze [16:32:02] there is no request on meta [16:32:06] I looked them up [16:32:33] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/FightTheDystopia [16:33:23] Correct, it's the same. [16:34:05] which section did you attempt to submit a request [16:34:57] [1/2] I had put one on phorge, but was told to close out as invalid and ask Stewards instead. So I did that, and I went here: [16:34:57] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359929658711347371/Screenshot_20250410-1232542.png?ex=67f944b0&is=67f7f330&hm=f6989e1e25ee71fbca075c8ab7bc3c005df81366eac0a3fced04cda78430366f& [16:34:58] clicked the "request permissions tool" tool button, [16:35:28] Put in my wiki (gsuswiki) and my problem, and it said "this needs a human to look at it, we'll let you know" [16:35:40] I got no notification, and no updates since then. [16:35:56] [1/2] do you remember which option you selected? [16:35:56] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359929905684418842/image.png?ex=67f944eb&is=67f7f36b&hm=0b38324c8ec0cdde61b60481c33f472d2d3aacd3d02765c67dee653b6e064c1d& [16:36:33] [1/2] Yeah, the last one "lost own permissions" [16:36:33] [2/2] I still have the admin and bureaucrat roles, but I accidental took away permissions on them, including myself [16:36:47] I will look into that [16:37:04] Thank you [16:37:52] I have heard isolated cases that using the form results in a request not going through, but irritatingly I haven't been able to reproduce it [16:38:01] unfortunately I did not reproduce it now either [16:38:43] Oh, did it glitch out of existence? Should I resubmit the request tool entry? [16:39:43] not needed now as I just fixed permissions, however, it would help if you tried again (just submit dummy info in the fields since it's a test) [16:40:19] Ok [16:41:53] I did a test [16:42:40] I see nothing [16:42:57] which browser are you using? [16:43:40] if it's on mobile or desktop may help too [16:43:47] Chrome on mobile. [16:43:49] Android [16:43:51] very well [16:44:07] cc @suzuneu, rfxhelper seems to be gobbling submissions ^ [16:44:17] I can try it with brave later [16:45:17] I tried to do exactly the same things as the first time, including using the "preview" feature [16:45:49] Since I apparently have the right requirements to replicate the glitch, let me know if you want me to send another test [16:46:26] And thank you very much for resetting permissions [16:46:45] np, you should be all set [16:46:58] Yeah, seems so, appreciate you [16:47:02] now one of us needs to reproduce the same issue and be sure it is a browser problem or if it may be something else [16:51:43] I actually don't seen to have permissions, or at least they aren't showing up in the tool Dropdown and the manage wiki stuff is still "look don't touch" [16:51:54] might need a hard refresh, perhaps [16:53:16] Yeah, I'll clear my cookies etc, give it a few minutes- [16:55:13] problem is reproduced on brave android, so my theory is something about the rfx tool for chromium on android kills requests before they can post. I even got a message that it was successful, but nothing submitted [16:56:06] Yay! [16:56:12] It's fixed [16:56:52] And I'm glad you were able to find something to help fix the glitch [16:57:02] np, sorry for the trouble [17:34:12] How to make Create Page?? [17:35:32] And how to Put a Logo in your Wiki?? [17:37:25] [1/3] The default way that I know of, is to search up the title of the page you want to create. Once you do that, there should be an option to create the page at the bottom. [17:37:26] [2/3] However, there is an extension you can look into to make that process better, which I will link in a moment. [17:37:26] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359945379881418832/image.png?ex=67f95355&is=67f801d5&hm=966bdc0acc833b9091e9bede074bb8f5a4c176066e65342884701dbd8e8b2444& [17:38:50] [1/2] But like this [17:38:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359945736359248002/Createpage.png?ex=67f953aa&is=67f8022a&hm=e5476fb3eab6a1d793f3a8684762c181ce08b00957a30898af65abf55e0abbb5& [17:39:00] Cause I can't get it [17:39:19] [1/2] This extension exists: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Create_Page [17:39:20] [2/2] And this one: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CreatePageUw [17:40:22] But how to put it in my wiki? [17:40:26] If you have the proper permissions on the Wiki, you should have the ability to manage the extensions of the wiki and the settings (which is where you can add the logo). [17:41:01] [1/2] Anything in the sidebar that looks like this?

[17:42:29] Ok thanks [17:44:10] [1/2] should I let this run?

[18:25:09] [2/3] the wiki where I am an editor stopped opening yesterday with an error about dns, and ip not found [18:25:09] [3/3] although everything is fine with the wiki domain, it is paid by the end of this year [18:25:39] @zaharichek let me guess, lostmediawiki.ru [18:26:04] [1/2] sorry [18:26:04] [2/2] it is wiki related to my question upper [18:26:15] @zaharichek I will DM [18:26:46] ok [19:12:50] [1/4] how would i go about creating things like this at the top of pages? i assume they are infoboxes that I can create, yeah?

[19:14:58] so that people could still access to the wiki in a way [19:16:04] [1/2] Does anyone know what is causing this [19:16:04] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359970203915653140/image.png?ex=67f96a73&is=67f818f3&hm=542a9a1aab9a5789350867f0f77f70d2d9af4bec1461f6babc2e9973dab42251& [19:16:04] we can arrange that yes [19:16:17] Cause what? [19:16:24] light and dark mode selector doesn’t appear and it seems that the wiki just merged them together [19:16:26] causing this [19:16:28] citizen skin [19:16:49] https://outlaster.peakprecision.wiki [19:17:15] @grischadj I've poked another engineer cause I'm lying on the sofa full of cold [19:17:56] @a_wildvoltaireian can you open a #support thread? [19:18:00] I really hope i can make a wiki that looks as good as this... someday... someday. [19:18:54] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Mbox [19:19:13] alr [19:19:45] thanks! [19:20:32] @grischadj removed, give it 30 minutes [19:20:55] thanks!

[19:28:54] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1359973434746208266/9C804304-1DC6-43AC-8A38-C8E8EFCDEF17.png?ex=67f96d75&is=67f81bf5&hm=632e21c5cbabdf5a2780df45f5822d61f50fe0f60092323b9a6c89ae10b683dc& [19:30:27] that's a gallery, no. Have a look on devwiki or though open a support thread [19:31:00] I see. I'm new to this whole thing, so forgive me for asking some.... obvious questions. [19:31:17] it's ok [19:33:26] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1359971801761054881 [19:35:37] you don't need to keep pasting the link to the thread, it won't get a quicker reply [19:52:31] Is anybody having issues with image loading and/or logging in? Me and another editor are having these issues on my wiki. [19:53:36] I’m able to log in now but images aren’t embedding currently [19:54:54] We’re looking into a potential issue related to that at the moment. We’ll ask you to verify if fixed in a few minutes. [19:55:01] Alright thank you [19:55:02] Pressure? [19:55:20] sigh.... yes. [19:55:30] I wish there were more infoboxtemplates on devwiki [19:55:38] Why the sigh [19:55:47] cuz i found it funny :3 [19:55:58] Touché [20:11:27] eh [20:11:34] is anyone else around [20:11:48] RhinosF1 [20:12:02] paladox: yes [20:12:17] someone needs to check the domain register for wikitide.net [20:12:25] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/s2A4QByC/ [20:12:26] paladox: i said that on MCR discord [20:12:33] oh discord is down [20:12:39] paladox: not for me [20:12:49] it's stuck on a loading screen for me [20:12:49] https://discordstatus.com [20:12:52] but maybe a wider issue than just us [20:12:56] also says they are having an issue [20:13:38] paladox: you on mac/linux device [20:13:44] Mac [20:14:00] paladox: edit /etc/hosts to add 15.204.87.20 as mattermost IP then [20:14:07] ok [20:32:56] discord seems to be working for me again. had a bit there where i was just stuck on loading for a while. [20:56:16] [1/2] I'm noticing that images aren't loading on the Battle Cats Wiki [20:56:17] [2/2] https://battlecats.miraheze.org/wiki/Battle_Cats_Wiki [20:56:45] At the moment, we believe the incident is upstream of us and we have no ETA on restoration [20:56:56] DNS for wikitide.net is broken [20:57:43] Technically capable people are free to mess with their host files but if you don't understand that then the best I can suggest is read a book [20:58:21] Got it, thanks [21:31:09] Do I have to use Phorge to mass upload images to my wiki? I have around 700 to import from my old wiki for this transfer [21:37:05] [1/2] yeah [21:37:06] [2/2] xml can be requested via Meta Wiki [21:41:12] I have the xml [21:41:33] @theoneandonlylegroom Just specifically talking about the image import because it seems I have to do that first [21:42:36] [1/2] images go to phorge [21:42:37] [2/2] you gotta upload it somewhere like google drive and share the link the phorge task you'll make [21:42:44] imma go eep now [21:42:47] [1/2] is there a way i could fix this [21:42:47] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1360007127124541542/image.png?ex=67f98cd6&is=67f83b56&hm=dd4f365b761c6efc90b61415ed40f2cb327e2cf48d9cff29c9c3d645b5ea7ba3& [21:43:03] the html has both dark and light mode on my wiki messing my code up [21:53:54] [1/2] So this is on the instructions for importing a wiki to Miraheze, but I'm on Phorge making a task right now and theres no box or option to send this to a specific email. How do I do this? [21:53:54] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1360009925153263698/image.png?ex=67f98f71&is=67f83df1&hm=88b61eb630c47caeb73bbc75af6553469f5aab3ba32160581adf95fb7117fbda& [23:12:17] I take it the outage is the reason why some images aren't displaying in the main page currently on my wiki [23:13:40] yeah [23:13:46] something fucky wucky is going on w/ dns [23:14:35] Well alright then nothing else to do but well wait [23:15:11] i was so confused when half of my pages were working [23:15:23] then purged one and realized its probably something on miraheze's side
