[00:19:49] <_plasticbottle> How do I know what roles I am assigned? I can't figure it out and I am the owner of the wiki [00:21:01] Wikis have no owner, you can check your user groups at Special:UserRights [00:21:22] <_plasticbottle> Ouh weird thank you! [00:46:00] <_plasticbottle> I can't figure out why the pictures in my table are so small, they're all 200x200px, but look like 25x25px... [02:00:33] <_plasticbottle> I'm using Cosmos and I was wondering why on the right side of the page the "recent changess" feed only shows up on some pages and not others. I want it gone altogether if I am to b ehonest and google can't seem to give me an answer... [06:06:02] dont think you can delete recent changes but you can remove it from your sidebar i think [06:06:12] visit MediaWiki:Sidebar [06:06:20] and just remove it from there [06:29:29] check [[dev:Template:Image]] [06:29:30]

[06:30:03] there's an option in additional settings/styling tab, disable right rail or something like that [09:00:21] wahh [16:30:04] anyone familiar with mysql regex? [16:30:33] i just crashed the page [16:30:46] even tho it worked in the sandbox [17:13:46] <_plasticbottle, replying to theoneandonlylegroom> That did it, thank you!!! [17:18:41] <_plasticbottle> Is there a reason that when you use "gallery" that is gives transparent pngs backgrounds??? [17:19:34] [1/2] that's how gallery is styled, images have frame and its own background [17:19:35] [2/2] you can change things via CSS tho [17:20:39] <_plasticbottle> Ah word, I'm not good at CSS, so I'll have to fix my other issue instead. I'm trying to figure out why my table's images got condensed, and was considering using a gallery instead but idk... [17:25:26] [1/2] i might share my css piece but later, busy rn [17:25:26] [2/2] tables and images are a bit tricky, not sure what you mean by condensed [17:31:49] <_plasticbottle> They're meant to be 200x200px, but look like 25x25 for whatever reason? It worked before in a different table using similar assets and sizes on a different page [17:32:45] <_plasticbottle> Though I do have the table nested in another table [18:05:39] In css pages, it’s telling me to use instead of @import, but i keep getting the red X error. What’s the correct format? [18:09:30] first time hearing if this [18:09:37] what are you trying to do exactly [18:17:21] the css errors and warnings the editor gives are stupid ngl [18:17:25] use import in peace [18:18:20] oh isnt actually a warning for once [18:55:23] <_plasticbottle> I'm trying to use portable infoboxes but not a single image will work? I'm following this guide https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:Infoboxes and when i try to put any image that I've uploaded to my wiki via the file name + png and it won't workNot sure what I'm missing [19:11:50] <_plasticbottle> Could it be because my image is 350x350px, when my infobox limit in the Wiki's style settings is set to 300x300px [19:13:19] I'm not sure if you can hardcode images into portable infoboxes. You can test if images work by calling the template and providing the image parameter. `{{Test|image=Blepp.png}}` [19:14:09] (i did some sleuthing and found the template) [19:15:01] <_plasticbottle> I'm not sure I am following, like I have to make a new template each time? Instead of just copying an empty template and putting new images into it? [19:15:40] Quite the opposite. [19:16:21] [1/3] you would change the image by providing a different image in the image parameter [19:16:21] [2/3] `{{Test|character1.png}}` [19:16:21] [3/3] and on another page: `{{Test|character2.png}}` [19:18:21] <_plasticbottle> I think I see either way I couldn't get any image to actually show up. Is image parameter different than image source? [19:19:46] the source is the parameter basically [19:20:51] [1/4] say if you had two images in your test template (an infobox) [19:20:52] [2/4] `` [19:20:52] [3/4] `` [19:20:52] [4/4] you would define the images followingly: `{{test|image=...|a WAY COOLER IMAGE=...}}` [19:24:53] <_plasticbottle> I've been trying to figure this out for over an hour and a half- Even following your clear directions I can't get it to work so I think it is a me issue here. I might take a break because I just cannot get it 😂 [19:26:28] <_plasticbottle> I think I am misunderstanding where in the total code for the box to put the {{Test|image=Blepp.png}} [19:26:48] <_plasticbottle> Also "Test" is just because that is the name of the template correct?\ [19:27:06] on pages where you wish to use the infobox [19:27:51] i can make a small edit to the template and leave an example if you'd like [19:50:24] <_plasticbottle, replying to asko1> that is totally up to you, not pressure to do so [19:51:20] smart to have moderation on [19:53:16] <_plasticbottle> I'm debating on what moderation settings I should have active, because at some point this is going to be a somewhat open edit for the players of the game this is for which is like a thousand people atm- [19:54:22] You’d be surprised/sad how many of those thousand people take interest in the wiki at all edit wise [19:55:43] <_plasticbottle> I figure as much, but the old wiki on fandom was basically closed off by a small three people because they got access to it, made a bunch of rules, kicked others off the editing team, and then abandoned it. So I'm at least trying to make this one more accessible for the general public of the players [19:56:50] that's nasty, hate it when people do that [19:58:08] <_plasticbottle> Yeahhhh I wasn't a part of the game at that time, but the old editors who left the fandom one (after the incident) reached out to me and informed me about the whole thing so I can try to know what to avoid [19:59:30] honestly I wouldn't use moderation for a rather small community, gets more in the way [20:02:28] <_plasticbottle> really? Alright I'll certainly consider that [20:04:33] fisch wiki has 50k concurrent players (more on updates), and we get maybe like 50ish edits on update days [20:04:55] so with some generous errors, like 1 for a community of your size? [20:08:47] <_plasticbottle> Ah okay! Thank you then!!! I'm still having a ball with learning the site and editing myself for now! Though I feel like I'm kicking myself in the head some days like today in which I just can't get infoboxes hahah [20:13:20] there's a lot to learn! but worry not, failing 700 times until you get it right is part of the fun (at least for me, but I might be weird) [20:15:19] That's 100% normal to me but I'm definitely weird [20:16:38] all the infra people i know are weird so checks out :D [20:17:27] <_plasticbottle> I'm enjoying the trial and error, but admittedly I'm going a bit mad today with the info boxes. I wish I could discern what I am doing wrong- [20:18:22] i do agree that there could be a bit more feedback, but such is the state of portable infoboxes [20:19:31] It ain't just infra [20:19:52] Pretty much all the science and tech industry tbh [20:20:58] Excuse me, you didn’t fail, you simply found 700 ways not to do it [20:21:53] Pix is right [20:22:12] "normal" people cannot comprehend editing wikis for fun, explaining code to a rubber ducky, "killing all children forcefully" or the sheer power fisch wiki has over db181 so yeah, gotta be weird or something [20:22:31] I work in a role where we are supposedly do innovative things [20:22:34] We don't fail [20:22:39] yeah fail is misleading, call it a mild detour in success [20:22:43] We just discover new ways of things not working [20:22:49] It's still useful learning [20:23:31] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1369409264510042183/IMG_0458.jpg?ex=681bc143&is=681a6fc3&hm=d4ac756af3a26d706e8ea9157fd9af2d997e2a31e3ba3d1606370b4637c5d5ef& [20:23:41] real [20:24:01] "innovative" really is just pr for "duck around and find out" [20:24:14] It really is [20:24:33] Try a thousand things and every so often we come up with one good one [20:25:01] 🤝 [20:27:07] honestly i cant believe there are people out there, who are content with the way they do things and dont want to continously improve anything and everything [20:27:10] even by a little [20:27:19] I work in R&D in government, we play around with fun shit, write up then pawn it off on certain nameless industry partners who will happily bill the taxpayer an eye to make the production version [20:27:31] I know [20:28:52] oooh r&d [20:29:12] cant believe they found a way to capitalize on neurodivergence [20:29:33] It's a lot of fun [20:29:55] <_plasticbottle> How do I edit that roles and/or permissions a user has btw?
