[00:52:25] Yes. [01:24:38] i wonder if we could include a parser that converts a url or fqdn to the database name if possible [01:41:17] Already possible using a combination of other ones. [01:41:29] oh? [01:51:33] [1/4] Using ParserFunctions with string functions enabled I spinned something up real quick: [01:51:33] [2/4] ``` [01:51:34] [3/4] {{#explode:{{#replace: https://test.miraheze.org/wiki/Page | https:// | }} | . | 0}}wiki [01:51:34] [4/4] ``` [01:51:58] oh right, i forgor about explode [01:52:01] ngl i was thinking of lua [01:53:34] [1/16] (function signatures might be different, i haven't checked docs) [01:53:34] [2/16] ```lua [01:53:34] [3/16] local p = {} [01:53:34] [4/16] function p._main(text) [01:53:35] [5/16] if string.match("^https?://", text) then [01:53:35] [6/16] text = mw.uri.new(text).host [01:53:35] [7/16] end [01:53:36] [8/16] text = string.sub("%.miraheze%.org$", "", text) [01:53:36] [9/16] text = string.sub("%.wikitide%.org$", "", text) [01:53:36] [10/16] return text [01:53:36] [11/16] end [01:53:37] [12/16] function p.main(frame) [01:53:37] [13/16] return p._main(frame.args[1]) [01:53:38] [14/16] end [01:53:38] [15/16] return p [01:53:39] [16/16] ``` [01:53:45] [1/5] I first created a much more complicated version then realized I could do that. If you want to see my original horrible one using Variables +ParserFunctions lol: [01:53:45] [2/5] ||`{{#vardefine:url|https://test.miraheze.org/wiki/Page}} [01:53:46] [3/5] {{#vardefine:trimmed|{{#replace:{{#var:url}}|https://|}}}} [01:53:46] [4/5] {{#vardefine:subdomain|{{#explode:{{#var:trimmed}}|.|0}}}} [01:53:46] [5/5] {{#var:subdomain}}wiki`|| [01:54:55] I was just wondering what I was doing. I tend to very much overcomplicate when doing parsers lol... [01:55:02] oh dear :p [02:08:09] Expensiiiiive [02:08:25] (jokes) [02:17:41] You don't 'own' a wiki. You may request and be a crat on multiple wikis, if we see you're capable of properly maintaining them all [02:40:48] WikiTide Limited owns all the wikis technically. [02:41:19] You just manage the wiki, and that can be changed at any time for any reason really, but it usually only happens under extreme circumstances. [02:47:06] WikiTide Limited? who dat [02:48:27] MiraTide LLC [02:50:22] Heh. WikiTide Foundation (technically still WikiTide Inc to the tax man) is the legal entity. And no, we don't claim ownership of the wiki's contents, precisely. [02:51:18] But we do reserve a pretty thorough right of hosting refusal when it's needed. [03:17:51] RollTide LLC [03:40:58] we technically reserve the right to display your content [03:41:16] which makes sense--what's the point of giving us content if you don't want us to display it [03:42:34] I reserve the right to eat your content if i forget to eat lunch [03:46:07] i reserve the right to rewrite your templates in lua if i deem them too messy [03:48:16] Are there any guides/tutorials/resources I can look at for miraheze? Whenever I look stuff up on google I get mostly unhelpful 100 view videos. And the official miraheze docs are admittedly confusing at times [03:51:40] having any videos is news to me ngl [03:52:24] not miraheze-specific, but i feel that [[mwHelp:Templates]] is loadbearing documentation [03:52:25]

[03:52:35] [[mw:Help:Templates]] [03:52:36]

[03:53:19] the current global notice takes too much space on mobile [03:53:41] along with [[mw:Help:Formatting]] if you need a cursory reference for wikitext [03:53:42]

[04:01:25] ok ty [04:24:55] [1/2] Mediawiki's generic help contents are also a great starting place: [04:24:55] [2/2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents [04:25:10] Many (but not all of the articles) apply here too [06:44:09] [1/2] having this issue as well today >A< [06:44:09] [2/2] had both editor checked on personal setting but somehow visual editing option doesn't show up [06:45:50] disable/enable again the extension [06:46:16] but any experienced admin will advice to ditch VE and stick w/ wiki text lol [06:47:03] <2fa_auth, replying to mooncloud> frfr [06:47:21] <2fa_auth> I love democracy 😎 🔥 [06:47:29] <2fa_auth> i voted [07:05:56] ive had it like this for months [07:30:40] [1/2] yeah it's for my team members which mostly never have any experience in wiki editing. [07:30:40] [2/2] will try to re-enable the extension. thanks! [07:44:18] [1/2] does anyone know how i can make this own box on my wiki [07:44:19] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363782385443012719/voe3cml.png?ex=680748d2&is=6805f752&hm=92db7a332559ab3238b6a99d89025abce95246ec18899738f3276cec24406b2e& [07:46:09] you can import but importing from Wikipedia is not advised [07:46:16] yeah i wouldnt do that [07:46:19] i had too much chaos last time [07:46:41] it doesn't look too complicated tho, mostly borderless table [07:46:50] depends on how complex are parameters ofc [07:47:00] could you help make a basic one for me? [07:47:02] never used such infoboxes so can't tell [08:04:12] [1/2] does anyone know what ive done [08:04:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363787390761828513/3ogvoeM.png?ex=68074d7b&is=6805fbfb&hm=910f4388e0a4715fafb56f080942750a92d95e9f079a9504d9b5bfdd54768d85& [08:09:34] [1/2] this is now the error [08:09:34] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363788742434885753/gwzwNPq.png?ex=68074ebe&is=6805fd3e&hm=4ce7e92d326dac10b4b048820ae8922be46c1ab1d4456f8133be1a81d465888b& [08:18:29] well, says exactly that [08:18:36] you don't have Module:Arguments [08:18:42] you'll have to import it [08:22:47] but i do [08:22:58] it gaveme that error after i added that [08:23:09] https://kernowwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Module:Arguments [08:24:53] idk, I personally avoid Lua as much as I can [08:25:02] i have never heard of lua [08:25:17] i just copied and pasted from someone elses wiki [08:25:27] major breaking news on #offtopic. [08:27:59] it's not Miraheze related tho, man ... [08:28:04] offtopic is offtopic [08:28:21] and besides, not a lot of people are catholic [08:28:23] But that's why I mentioned #offtopic because its on there, not on here. [08:29:23] my point is, you didn't have to bring this up in general Miraheze channel breaking ongoing convo [08:30:03] Okay. Fine. [08:32:38] Lua is a programming language which can be used on wiki templates for more versatility/complexity, and thus is mainly used by Wikipedia [08:32:48] Module: pages contain Lua code [08:33:22] but trying to import such templates often result in these dependency errors, hence why we advice simpler methods and templates [08:34:35] I'm not able to conjure an table analogue of that infobox now, since I'm on mobile [08:34:52] and in general, still on personal wiki hiatus [08:35:10] maybe someone else will [09:47:53] [1/2] i tried using the infoboxbuilder but [09:47:53] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363813484256563311/5rWDW0A.png?ex=680765c9&is=68061449&hm=32692891199e37dc74f8c650551750d887a3359c3c670c7dd6f5ee4bae978bbf& [09:56:16] Didn't see you add infobox anywhere [09:57:21] i used the builder so it should of added [09:58:40] [1/2] It's not, you just create a template. [09:58:40] [2/2] And you need to add the template to your page [09:59:04] i did [09:59:06] infobox builder -> infobox template -> add the template to a page [09:59:10] i did that [09:59:14] its in the screenshot [09:59:27] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363816394738765854/w1AfLuM.png?ex=6807687e&is=680616fe&hm=0353ee44203776ab5e7c6c97f4d0cace8fcaf203d65cfa1b34372fb0d8f7a555& [10:00:02] That doesn't look like it was build from infobox builder👀 [10:00:32] it is [10:00:41] :ThinkerMH: [10:01:15] Can you show a bit of code from that template? [10:02:33] [1/2] If it was really infobox, the template should display like this from the Visual Editor perspective [10:02:34] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363817176384929854/ERRcaVx.png?ex=68076939&is=680617b9&hm=11b0a74da9f23afb87e7768286ec1e40ef4e346935d726f061ee8364f23659df& [10:37:53] [1/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363826065960865852/kWaGIkO.png?ex=68077180&is=68062000&hm=f67986eb04f354726402e89ec3f7cfb557d25b13ce9823ef33b610c1d9b7a1e3& [10:37:53] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363826066283561012/WNFZz9v.png?ex=68077180&is=68062000&hm=6bc91bfa01b47c542e5574664ec4197e77646d47bd652d8a95d33afa7802d670& [10:38:12] wait wrong one [10:38:29] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363826217077444821/UUDcSi0.png?ex=680771a4&is=68062024&hm=b6c4b0c17c9166fd69ac7251d7e445eff9624edb4be93c6d26faabe8dae14d2f& [10:47:44] You aren't using portable infobox I see [10:48:03] yes i am??/ [10:48:09] i used the builder [10:48:30] I guess that's how it look like while in Visual Editor, did you try to save the page to see what happen?

It's better if I can directly see myself [10:51:49] I mean the direct url of the page [10:56:25] Oh I figure now [10:56:38] You are using the incorrect template [10:57:11] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1363830926169083935/XJ5yNRj.png?ex=68077607&is=68062487&hm=4d70d63ff82d4b2e8f304d2e245042728211719c2a38ece79336c180b6dfc457& [10:57:19] ^That's how I fixed [10:59:45] oh i see [10:59:46] thank you [11:06:25] portable infobox won't suffice for that election infobox still [11:07:24] [1/2] PI is fixed standard 1-2 columns table [11:07:24] [2/2] giving it different appearance requires more coding, or perhaps just making plain classic infobox [12:06:53] im not smart [12:07:01] i cant be bothered to try do all that [13:31:28] [1/3] Is there a page that explains the "edit recovery feature"?
