` [02:02:51] <_plasticbottle> [1/2] How do I add cosmos to the default skin options? I added cosmos as an extension but it hasn't become an option for default? [02:02:52] <_plasticbottle> [2/2] I'm new to this, but I tried Google and it said "well it should be there" [02:03:50] [1/2] It's under Special:ManageWiki/settings#mw-section-styling [02:03:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1367682966242725968/image.png?ex=68157985&is=68142805&hm=e970ece1f7518327c3f15b28dd89bf873632e3439adca137c580dd2c8076a558& [02:03:52] It should be at the top. [02:04:14] <_plasticbottle> Dude, I swear on my momma that I refreshed and it wasn't there until you said that [02:04:30] It sometimes takes a couple minutes [02:04:32] You might've had something typed into the search bar or something else happened. [02:04:43] <_plasticbottle> Ouhhhhh okay! Thank you either way! [02:05:10] Cache isn't reset immediately when an extension/skin is enabled in ManageWiki, it sometimes takes a few minutes to propagate so doesn't appear until that finishes. [02:05:56] <_plasticbottle> Now time to figure out how to make cosmos work on my personal view :L [02:06:44] <_plasticbottle> Got it! Thanks yall!! [02:37:17] <_plasticbottle> How do I change the domain name? It's greyed out, do I need to submit a ticket or something somewhere? [02:37:45] Do you mean rename the Miraheze subdomain? [02:37:57] <_plasticbottle> Err yeah I think so! [02:38:32] Then yes make a ticket. It requires other technical work to do which is why it's not possible to do yourself. [02:39:05] <_plasticbottle> Ahhh okay, where do I submit the ticket? I'm trying to find it, but this is my first 2 hours using the site so I'm still unfamiliar [02:40:13] explains everything you should need to know about how to submit the ticket. [02:45:52] will citizen'# command palette feature be coming to miraheze? looks rlly cool [02:46:02] or has it not been officially released [03:36:48] [1/3] hey ya know how most wikis have a solid color behind the text so it doesn't get mixed up with the background?

[03:40:13] [1/2] also, is there a recommended aspect ratio for backgrounds? because I notice that sometimes the background doesn't cover the full window when you expand it [03:40:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1367707223148597318/Screenshot_2025-05-01_at_11.38.26_PM.png?ex=6815901c&is=68143e9c&hm=d32c5bf9ca3a495b6e73f2bede7ac1937250d5b9a86f39cb14e353d00be0755c& [03:40:16] https://.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [03:40:33] wait [03:40:34] https://pvplegacy.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [03:41:28] [1/6] do [03:41:28] [2/6] ``` [03:41:28] [3/6] .mw-content-container { [03:41:29] [4/6] background: white [03:41:29] [5/6] } [03:41:29] [6/6] ``` [03:41:40] try `background-size: cover` [03:52:18] [1/5] @snowstacked where would all that go in the css exactly? just in a new line? [03:52:18] [2/5] it currently looks like this ```/ CSS placed here will be applied to all skins / [03:52:19] [3/5] .mw-page-container { [03:52:19] [4/5] background: url("") no-repeat center center fixed; [03:52:19] [5/5] } ``` [03:53:23] [1/9] ```/ CSS placed here will be applied to all skins / [03:53:23] [2/9] .mw-page-container { [03:53:23] [3/9] background: url("") no-repeat; [03:53:23] [4/9] background-size: cover; [03:53:24] [5/9] } [03:53:24] [6/9] .mw-content-container { [03:53:24] [7/9] background: white [03:53:25] [8/9] } [03:53:25] [9/9] ``` [03:55:14] it worked tysm! [04:42:29] [1/4] Is there a way to enforce page breaks when printing a wiki page? [04:42:29] [2/4] I would like to be able to print the paper computer I'm doing easily directly from the wiki [04:42:30] [3/4] [Amatl: Uxn Paper Computer](https://uxnomicon.miraheze.org/wiki/Paper_Computing) [04:42:30] [4/4] I kinda found a way that works for now, but I plan to add exercises and what not. I found somethnig about Collection extension but it seems it is not a thing anymore? [04:43:00] I would like to have a page break guaranteed (if possible) between each big table. [05:36:31] Yes it will be coming [05:37:24] Probably this weekend [06:03:45] Can i transclude a page so that its templates behave like they are still on the origin article? [06:06:01] Transclude a static copy [06:13:23] It appears not [08:59:11] how do i noindex translations ns [09:55:03] I think Special:ManageWiki/namespaces can do robots policy [09:57:43] [1/2] 1198 is just empty [09:57:44] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1367802226625482846/image0.jpg?ex=6815e897&is=68149717&hm=0230148838f25b85cbb1d35f768d3f7622df1d4051fb680607b61f167d91a397& [09:58:00] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1367802298813648966/image0.jpg?ex=6815e8a8&is=68149728&hm=eb61787adc013a2168cf259f1be104999ff2f725c7065414ba04a2392cf51c3c& [10:03:37] <.lannis> What do you guys think is the best looking skin on Miraheze? [10:05:21] citizen :oh: [10:30:46] [1/2] I loved old Vector-2022🙃 [10:30:47] [2/2] (it was like a merge between Legacy Vector and current Vector-2022) [10:55:53] Citizen [11:12:43] citizen imo [11:23:42] old vector and timeless [11:27:55] citizen is disorienting, reminds me of fandom desktop [14:29:19] Does anyone know how you change the default preferences for a wiki? [15:13:32] <_plasticbottle> I am struggling to add pages to a wiki that I made and own. It says I don't have permission, how can I remedy that [15:18:50] @rhinosf1 sorry for the late reply. If you're around today, could you help walk me through the cloudflare DNS changeover? [15:20:04] In like 2 hours time sure [15:23:19] Thanks, really appreciate it, just send me a DM or ping me whenever you're free 🙂 [15:37:09] <_plasticbottle, replying to _plasticbottle> Google says as the founder I should have that permission, but I still can't and I'm not sure why? [15:59:47] <_arawynn> did you change something about the user group permissions? [16:03:04] <_plasticbottle> Yes, everyone, users, and confirmed users [16:05:00] <_plasticbottle> According to the meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Raidarr/Restrict_editing_to_authorized_users [16:06:15] <_arawynn> 🤔 okay, that's the only reason for your problem I can think of [16:07:23] <_plasticbottle> [1/2] I thought as founder you got "exclusive access" or something like that- [16:07:23] <_plasticbottle> [2/2] I don't think I disabled my personal page-making permissions and I can't find anywhere that says I did [16:10:53] <_arawynn> not that I'm aware of - you're part of the bureaucrat and admin groups automatically [16:13:14] <_plasticbottle> Wait, so then I should have editing access right? [16:13:20] <_plasticbottle> So so weird [16:13:32] <_arawynn> yes you should [16:13:50] <_plasticbottle> Odd, I'll tinker with it later I guess! [16:14:01] <_plasticbottle> I can do everything so far BUT that :L [16:14:31] <_arawynn> very strange indeed, good luck with your tinkering [17:03:53] how to maximize an image inside a wiki table [17:04:24] by default it always has padding around it [17:20:54] I don't know where [17:21:54] could you share a link to the template? [17:22:30] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1367914156769935380/20250502_202212.jpg?ex=681650d5&is=6814ff55&hm=aca30250c6a6c5f8892b77d9f6e450acc0f64edcddcb340c84afbd504b1e84ac& [17:29:51] https://marshallcreates.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Company_Information [17:29:58] I am sorry I am late. [17:30:20] Now you have aceess. [17:30:55] no worries [17:31:24] [1/2] you need to add `/data` after the last line to close the data tag that starts in line 39 [17:31:24] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1367916394930376874/image.png?ex=681652eb&is=6815016b&hm=baf0db555e5ac9fab99b6fb3ce2c17d11ed9577d64930b9fe3312022f7e3f2e4& [17:32:57] <_plasticbottle, replying to _plasticbottle> Still can't figure it out 😦 [17:33:51] Ok thanks! [17:36:47] could you share a link to your wiki? (if it's public) [17:46:43] [1/2] by overriding the css in common.css [17:46:43] [2/2] I imagine something like `.wikitable > * > tr > td:has(img) { padding: 0px;}` might work [17:54:01] ah sad, i thouught i could specify inside the table with the '''style=''' tweak for the cell [17:54:11] i dont like css [17:54:45] sorry, I was a bit harsh to recommend common.css, dunno why [17:55:08] you could try defining it in the local `style=` as well [17:55:22] <_plasticbottle, replying to abaddriverlol> [1/3] I think it is public [17:55:23] <_plasticbottle, replying to abaddriverlol> [2/3] Currently using the cosmos theme because the people that this wiki is for are familiar with Fandom and I wanted it to be accessible for them [17:55:23] <_plasticbottle, replying to abaddriverlol> [3/3] https://santae.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [17:55:30] Padding 0px doesnt seem to work sadly [17:56:17] Is there something else, or is it css taking precedence? [17:56:53] I cant be too sure, I could help out easier if you provide a link to where your table is [17:57:29] Ill need to finish the table first [17:57:55] Trying to remake a portable infobox into a wikitable [17:59:40] I see that you enabled `wgEmailConfirmToEdit`, did you verify your email address? (you can check this at [Special:Preferences]()) [18:01:40] <_plasticbottle> Yep! [18:04:27] I don't think any of the groups your accounts has (bureaucrat, administrator, ifadmin) has the `createpage` right, but the `confirmed` user group has it [18:04:36] so you can either give yourself the group or add the permission to one of your roles [18:04:57] <_plasticbottle> Oh- I thought those ranks auto had it oops 😬 [18:06:04] * and user should have it by default, but higher roles like bureaucrat only have the rights that the lower ones don't have; they inherit most of their rights [18:09:39] <_plasticbottle> Ahhh okay thank you! [18:10:56] <_plasticbottle> Is there a guide anywhere for using cosmos? I'd like to add stuff to the top drop down menus and remove some of the other drop down menus- [19:04:06] is there a way to create a variable on the page itself of {{PAGENAME}} and use that in a template? [19:08:12] pretty sure you can use {{PAGENAME}} in a template and it'll show the name of the page it's transcluded in [19:08:23] if that's what you meant [19:18:59] yeah something else is breaking my transclusion i fear [19:22:04] yep forgot the parameter name [19:33:29] How do you edit the main menu? I know I've edited it in the past (years ago, I'm once again attempting to migrate off of fandom and returning to what I started on miraheze) but `MediaWiki:Navigation` is only showing a blank page when I go to that? [19:33:54] which skin are you using? [19:34:00] if you mean the sidebar, it's MediaWiki:Sidebar [19:34:48] Oh! Sidebar is the one, thank you lol [19:48:02] [1/2] https://marshallcreates.miraheze.org/wiki/Biggy_(Lidl) [19:48:02] [2/2] Can someone help me with the infobox on this page? The informations don't show. [19:53:13] [1/2] the template parameters of the infobox are currently called data1, data2, data3 etc, if you rename them to use the parameter names you specified on the page you linked, it should work [19:53:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1367952085336981605/image.png?ex=68167428&is=681522a8&hm=d610ed0995b6c1c24e0712f468037b9992a7e49cec5ba49e45c0bbd1c39692e0& [19:53:59] What is a parameter name? [19:55:21] [1/2] in this case the parameters you are putting into the template are called `toc`, `dof`, `wisi` etc, but the template is reading `data1`, `data2`, `data3` etc [19:55:21] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1367952622954348665/image.png?ex=681674a8&is=68152328&hm=145e44ea34355a5f9d48239f6e73da6f617253dfa3582476a03b1da2380c4590& [19:55:56] the names you supply like `name=value` need to match the names in `` [19:57:02] Thanks!

Trying to create a spreadsheet. [20:18:11] On my page? [20:19:08] oh no, in general. [20:19:37] is there a magic word equivalent that can give me the section it s currently in? [20:19:58] Page#section [20:21:22] You said on that article and I thought you meant my page...🤣 [20:22:37] write a webscraper script [20:23:51] Is that easy? I only know how to code in css and html [20:24:03] I used to do this in shebang [20:24:15] you can use the mediawiki api for this [20:24:29] or that ^ but i woulndnt know how [20:24:54] e.g. https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=categories&titles=Extensions&callback=&formatversion=2 [20:25:05] returns the categories for the Extensions page [20:27:28] [1/2] How can I improve my main page?
