[00:01:57] yeah... [00:03:59] sorry that we can't do more for you I guess the obvious option is to just make a private sister wiki, then [00:05:29] yeah :p [00:19:39] oh hey my discord username updated on irc finally [00:20:20] they'll never figure out who pskyechology is [00:22:50] pskyche [00:24:01] mine is cooked so i'll go with pskyecho instead [01:38:02] [1/2] okay, wth, i added documentation pages and everything, and this stil doesn't wanna do the do! how am i supposed to add parameters to these visual infobox editors?

[01:41:13] [1/2] i already have that enabled [01:41:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1391232485836324955/Screen_Shot_2025-07-05_at_9.40.47_PM.png?ex=686b25b8&is=6869d438&hm=48969a17c18cbf2991cac1e9f4c0ec3bfa9415bd24ddbce42ced4a03552a103f& [01:41:41] OH WAIT OH MY GOD I'M STUPID [01:48:40] [1/2] okay, got it to work!

[06:00:24] wassup [06:28:13] yeah the article count takes a while to refresh, from my experience [07:17:52] common browser cache issue [07:23:23] is adding custom namespaces possible on miraheze? [07:25:20] Yes. Through [ManageWiki](https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/ManageWiki)'s namespace feature. [07:25:31] `Special:ManageWiki/namespaces` [07:26:25] amazing [09:45:05] what should i do to get poeple to contribute to my fork wiki instead of the original fandom wiki [09:47:53] I would focus on what makes you different. [09:54:32] make an announcement on the fandom wiki [09:55:54] nope [09:56:07] the fandom wiki was ran by semi active (though arguable closer to active) admins who kept many pages lock so they might block me if i make an announcement [09:56:10] i think [09:56:44] post on related communities like discord servers or reddit, bring up pros of the fork, just don't spam [11:08:41] Fandom themselves place strict limits on fork announcements [11:08:44] And will enforce it [11:15:43] whats the wiki though [11:16:43] they would remove it next or up to few days after someone else put up the notice [11:21:40] aba wiki [11:22:50] are you an admin on that wiki? or no [11:23:01] the fandom wiki? [11:23:02] no [11:24:02] make senser [11:24:08] making fork announcement became extremely hard after mossbag vid anyway [11:24:18] even if you are admin of fandom wiki [11:24:34] technically you can announce it on the discussion page of the fandom wiki [11:24:56] but they wont allow us to put up the annoucement on the main page, sitenotice, etc etc [11:25:02] and you'll bring attention of fandom staff [11:25:16] w/ discussion alone [14:08:52] [1/2] I want to change “edit” to “edit visual” but I can't find the way, there was a way to access the mediawiki page where it appears and it was with URL but I don't remember. [14:08:52] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1391420638542958775/Captura_de_pantalla_2025-07-05_111030.jpg?ex=686bd4f3&is=686a8373&hm=0fcde154033eb8fb681932fc2b9e062a617ad15c4b94bbea36bcff18a5be5d5e& [14:17:43] [1/2] Add `?uselang=qqx` to the URL of any wikipage, and you will notice a bunch of the interface being replaced with some different weird text. These are the technical terrms for things. Locate the one that replaces the thing you want to change, and then go to `/MediaWiki:term` replacing the term part with the text you see when using qqx "language", and edit that p [14:17:44] [2/2] age to say what you want it to say [14:19:28] Thanks, thanks 😀 [14:27:35] 💯 [15:23:49] [1/2] Why isn't my infobox working [15:23:49] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1391439500630036553/image.png?ex=686be684&is=686a9504&hm=4b0f7c40f216ef2aaeb9418992b77807b9d580d70a1528e60059f293f10ab8bd& [15:26:23] [1/4] infobox is a template [15:26:23] [2/4] there's template code that must be on a page w/ `Template:` prefix [15:26:24] [3/4] and then there's usage code you put on other page to actually use the template [15:26:24] [4/4] do you have the first one? [15:26:59] It is a template, and it does have the usage code [15:27:03] It came out as text [15:27:52] Why is it text [15:28:54] usage code should start w/ `{{templatename` and parameters should be divided by `|` [15:29:23] [1/2] it would be easier to tell if you'll link the page [15:29:23] [2/2] (to post links please #verify ) [15:32:41] It seems to work now [16:10:15] A template doesn't strictly need to be in the template namespace [16:10:26] That's just tidiness and convention [16:10:42] common man don't confuse newbies [17:02:20] umm. hi chat. so, someone's trying to create an account and for some reason the wiki is showing everything in Vietnamese?? like, the dropdown with "login here" and all that. they are not in Vietnam/using a VPN/etc, and the wiki is entirely in English [17:02:31] any ideas? [17:03:40] same for me too before! browsed the wiki and all of a sudden my wiki became russian 😵‍💫 it fixed itself afterwards though [17:04:05] damn - is Miraheze trying to make us become bilingual? [17:04:18] Miraheze gets acquired by Duolingo 😰 [17:04:56] [1/2] miraheze darling what are oyu doing [17:04:56] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1391464950240903249/image.png?ex=686bfe38&is=686aacb8&hm=581e05994eccaa9ad28d309e7a23b7aca10396358e138e3142111f96ba22d563& [17:05:00] apparently it's now just this one page. [17:08:24] cache being weird I guess but I'd say check Special:Preferences just in case (user settings) [17:18:19] definitely set to english [17:19:06] it's fixed now that she's got an account, but yeah, it was very weird [18:40:51] Half of the audio files on my wiki use the MediaWiki audio player, but today half of them decided to use the default HTML player. Really bizarre [18:49:58] I think it's from enabling the EmbedVideo extension, but I don't understand why only one page on the wiki is affected. Very frustrating. [18:59:21] ok, figured out what I need to request on Forge after reading the documentation for EmbedVideo [19:01:31] how do fix this (this user is registered yet the user doesnt appear to be not registered on my wiki) [19:01:34] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1391494300713488456/image.png?ex=686c198e&is=686ac80e&hm=712eea27efabbcea55956543f8929bb85fbb156ccc2a0d605b79cf162cd3b204& [19:02:56] Make them visit your wiki [19:03:37] i will try that [19:29:03] Computer's gone in for repair, but can't access wiki on my phone, there isn't a log in option or anything [19:30:27] It's in the hamburger menu on the left hand side on mobile skin [19:31:06] I promise you it isn't [19:31:15] It's a custom domain if that helps [19:32:11] Do you use the citizen skin on the wiki by chance? I've had multiple complaints of this that are tied to requiring accepting cookies first before it'll show login options [19:43:11] By default its set to monobook, but my phone has the default skin [19:47:34] minerva? [19:48:11] pretty sure login button is alright on minerva, but you can try to switch from mobile to desktop at the very bottom of the page [20:08:53] Yeah that helped, thanks [22:17:38] Question: but is it normal for the "Get shortened url" link to not work? Do you need a specific perm for it, or is it just a bug? [22:22:57] Is there anything that needs to be changed in ManageWiki settings to get the UrlShortener extension to work? [23:00:15] i think it only works on the wiki your using it on? [23:00:55] What do you mean? I've tried clicking the "Get shortened url" link on the wiki but everytime it goes "Failed? Try again" [23:04:24] Hm, link please? [23:07:31] Basically none of my attempts to shorten urls work on any page i tried on wiki: [23:07:44] I checked with another editor, and they said they got the same result [23:10:54] Hmmmm, weird, works fine on beta https://meta.mirabeta.org/m/3 [23:11:12] I won't uh, be able to login to my main account for a bit so I can't test on the main service [23:12:57] for some reason, I kept logged out automatically for some time, is this normal? [23:13:20] for some time or time to time? [23:13:33] for some time [23:13:38] it's fine, no hurry. it's not urgent (or even required), just would be a nice thing to be able to use lol [23:13:43] like sometime it would logged out all of the sudden [23:13:50] not like the entire time [23:14:05] how often [23:23:08] like once a day of usage [23:58:28] [1/3] @emiliers @pixldev Probably a permission issue. I can't do it on mirabeta. Try the `urlshortener-create-url` permission.
