I was about to upload a file that suggested the filename as "GUIDE1.jpg" since that was the filename it warned me that "a file already exists with that name" and to "be sure I want to overwrite it" (it's not a file from the wiki i'm working on) I guess I should be fairly verbose with filenames and prefix them to prevent potential overwriting from other wik [11:39:51] [2/2] i's contributors? [11:42:02] [1/2] They are - but if you have Wikimedia Commons or Miraheze Commons enabled then you can use their images without uploading them locally to your own wiki. [11:42:02] [2/2] MediaWiki checks if an image with that name exists on either of those wikis as a consequence when you try to upload - you can safely check the "ignore all warnings" checkbox at the bottom of the upload form to shut MediaWiki up if you're certain you don't already have a file by that name uploaded locally.

[18:36:17] We are working on a fix now [18:37:59] k [18:38:03] gotta sleep [18:40:50] do i wait for a fix [18:41:16] I am not quite sure what else you're going to do [18:43:13] thats np [18:43:37] just lmk when a discovery is made [18:44:18] i’m having issues logging on [18:44:41] permission error? acknowledged, fix to be made [18:48:08] Custom domain resource loading should be fixed. Looking into permission errors now. [18:50:10] See #announcements [18:52:50] alright when i’m logging in, it says it’s unauthorized [18:53:54] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466869045566640388/IMG_9577.jpg?ex=697e4fc1&is=697cfe41&hm=aaa4f42b1e69b43105de85ecf90930213c0ab52c3940b0419b358e346fa39e7c& [18:54:03] sorry for low quality capture i’m in class [18:54:54] yes and we're still investigating that, which is also stated in #announcements [18:55:00] my bad [18:55:03] 😭 [19:03:11] How often does Special Page cache refresh? I don't mind waiting, to be clear, I am just asking if it's a fixed cycle or something [19:05:36] it's like every 1 to 3 days, not sure of exact timings but it's usually within that range [19:06:19] ok sweet, i caught it right after it cycled ~2 days ago then. i can wait [19:06:53] I'm trying to clear out my uncategorized images [19:09:50] Permission errors are fixed (or should be). [19:12:20] @kai84 ^ [19:12:53] can confirm [19:12:54] :D [19:13:00] And @ykm.matthew [19:13:55] every 3rd day of the month at 5 am [19:15:51] is there a tool i can use to mass create pages all with the same text? [19:16:29] we've been trying to reach you about your pywikibot's extended warranty [19:16:35] hi [19:16:52] Can you login now? [19:17:10] yes [19:17:14] does it require knowing python [19:17:15] yes [19:17:29] Good [19:17:29] you're smart enough to learn [20:01:05] hi guys, is there any way to add copyable links to section headers? [20:01:14] either by extension, gadget, module or js [20:02:59] Like click to copy a link with a URL fragment? [20:03:46] yes exactly [20:03:51] with the #Header link [20:04:07] Yeah I can think of how to do that in JS [20:04:17] Want me to try to toss something together for ya? [20:04:50] if its no trouble for you that would be amazing [20:05:10] Eh, may take a bit but I could use some JS practice [20:05:44] Plus, I have other things to do on my laptop, and a new exciting idea to hook onto is very dandy for my bitch ass ADHD to get the ball rolling [20:05:51] LOL works for me [20:06:05] i would write myself but ughh works killing me [20:06:24] i think best implementation would be a "Copy link" text next to the "Edit" text [20:06:25] I feel ya [20:06:58] I feel that may get a bit long but I’ll try [20:07:07] you think so? [20:07:20] no idea, let’s find out [20:07:54] I could put this on Dev Wiki since it’s pretty generic, so I’ll also just go through the extra minute of adding proper classes so wikis can override what it looks like with CSS [20:09:35] For now though: I need food lol, will get on this in a spell [20:09:45] yeah that would be great, please take your time [20:18:38] depends on what you want. mass creating pages all with the same text is a fairly generic thing so probably a script already exists. I know you can also do that with AWB, don't know about JWB or PetraMagna's jswikibot but probably doable with them [20:31:02] Has there been an update regarding the images not loading from Wikimedia Commons? [20:34:56] How long does it usaully take for a new wiki to be approved? [20:37:02] if AI didn't process your request and gave to human reviewer, it's like 1-3 days [20:50:52] i decided to just do it manually, those tools seem out my knowledge scope atm sadly 😢 [20:51:01] ill learn one of them eventually [21:12:32] Bump? [21:14:39] This is going to be a tech team matter by the looks of it, I'd suggest filing a ticket via [[phorge]] for their asssitance [21:14:40] [21:17:52] im not sure I quite understand what the issue here is [21:18:19] if this is about thumbnails regenerating then those do take a painful long time [21:18:53] @tedkalashnikov fyi, my laptop thought itd be rly funny for the screen to possibly kill itself, so, that may take a while 😅 [21:19:34] NOOOOO HOW COULD MISFORTUNE STRIKE PIX LIKE THAT [21:19:36] omg 😭 i hope your laptops ok [21:20:25] Our volunteers need to stop breaking laptops [21:20:35] I don't have a laptop budget for volunteers yet [21:20:47] Dell don't do free laptops like yubico do free keys [21:21:02] have we tried asking someone like framework nicely [21:21:38] Tbh no [21:21:51] Gotcha, thanks! [21:33:09] I know I have no idea how this could have happened [21:34:11] [1/7] It’s only been doing this since August [21:34:12] [2/7] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466909370838159390/IMG_3223.jpeg?ex=697e754f&is=697d23cf&hm=97b67db26dab9ebdba7f9ebd9efefc932f05d66dd5a1e3521740e006bf428e46& [21:34:12] [3/7] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466909372264218645/IMG_2770.jpeg?ex=697e7550&is=697d23d0&hm=e9e9a9baa38a97a869a29f3e6599822f371567a45a9727dc1e134ef5b5554010& [21:34:12] [4/7] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466909373514383494/IMG_1337.jpeg?ex=697e7550&is=697d23d0&hm=6c48b2b9819744a60b200a7dcc0d05c179b55e160a545a3b7be7b3d69b5b0b8e& [21:34:12] [5/7] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466909374923411577/IMG_0865.jpeg?ex=697e7550&is=697d23d0&hm=156147628ce99d1d1d604618c48b82f3c6d507a0ff39ae1746dafca5f17633ba& [21:34:13] [6/7] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466909376244875525/IMG_9423.jpeg?ex=697e7551&is=697d23d1&hm=dbb43559d166bb65e9cd4a533676a6846336e2bf9d9b649da9dd20f5237f4ae1& [21:34:13] [7/7] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466909377658093688/IMG_9270.jpeg?ex=697e7551&is=697d23d1&hm=6ccb95766d6878e893cdd60209190071c9d648f18527d0bd13175d1a6e64ed1b& [21:34:56] I’ll give it some time to chill. If it’s not working by tomorrow, I’ll place the order for a new screen [21:35:13] is something unplugged? [21:35:31] was also thinking that [21:35:43] grab a screwdriver [21:36:11] It’s more complicated than that [21:36:22] i looked into laptops and pcs before and laptops are much more complicated with less space, i once messed up a laptop by digging around too much [21:36:33] you need to have specific screws too, best left for a professional [21:36:42] thats not really entirely true [21:36:48] the screws are in the laptop silly [21:36:49] I sent it to my Dell tech mate to see how much it scares him [21:36:50] the screws are already In the laptop [21:37:05] well, theres a lot of screw types [21:37:07] its probably the display cable became unseated from the motherboard, otherwise the display itself is damaged [21:37:14] right, but theyre already holding the laptop together haha [21:37:23] true lol, better not lose it tho [21:37:33] yeah, i usually get like a cup or something to hold them in [21:37:34] oh, i should go to bed, 4:37 am...night [21:37:45] i trust pix is a professional who doesnt take a cup of water to a laptop [21:37:51] If it changes as you open the laptop, it's a loose cable [21:37:53] bathing my screws for funsies [21:37:58] It’s an issue that pops up occasionally, with ebbs and flows in how common it is, it absolutely responds to software state in that things like mouse movement and weather I’ve logged in since booting affect it in patterns I can’t fully understand, but it’s also not just software because it applies across operating systems [21:38:13] yeah hardware it is [21:38:16] See if the screen reacts weird to you closing the laptop slowly and opening it back up [21:38:59] If it was the screen itself, I'd expect it to stay broken [21:39:14] So most likely a cable [21:39:32] Described the symptoms to my friend who works with computers for decades, his guess was some tiny bit of the screen broken in such a way that when the motherboard or whatever sends a very particular command to the display it causes a short circuit [21:39:53] That would be fun [21:39:55] currently it’s just not turning on the display at all [21:40:35] i love technology [21:41:02] One of our PCs at work has just forgot it has a TPM chip [21:41:21] [1/2] i was just describing this in another server but my partners previous laptop somehow got completely bricked, and would enter a pretty much infinite boot loop where itd boot, then power down, several times in a row, before refusing to boot. id have to either 1) leave it for 2 hours or 2) hold it upside down to get it to boot [21:41:21] [2/2] in the end it seemed that somehow, the hinge assembly near the edge of the laptop had become unattached and the pressure of opening the laptop had damaged the power assembly/circuitry, so it was just behaving in batshit ways when trying to power on [21:41:27] cant believe we got PC dementia before gta 6 mediawiki 2 [21:41:28] [1/2] jswikibot has a bot to mass add text which can be used here. I think I've done a similar workload in the past. [21:41:28] [2/2] PWB is miserable to set up (especially when using OAuth). JWB has a terrible interface with way too many buttons. Hence I moved most of my workloads to my own tools. [21:41:37] oh excuze me chaps ill be back in a spell [21:41:41] what baffled me the most was how leaving it alone for several hours would allow the computer to boot again for all of like 2 seconds [21:41:47] i had to fight for my life to back up his harddrive [21:41:51] My top university just sent me my admission decision [21:41:52] Most of our laptops are old as shit [21:41:58] Go on [21:41:59] o crap i hope it goes well for you pix [21:42:10] can we get a live reaction [21:43:10] Be back soon they actually have a decent looking suspense page [21:46:04] I'm nervous and excited for you [21:49:36] that sounds like a problem my old laptop had. I could turn it on but then it would brick itself after a few minutes and restart. I left it alone for a few days then booted it up and installed a firmware update then it was fine [21:50:05] Some of my laptops only start with hopes and dreams [21:51:23] This same laptop later on had a problem where if I pressed down on it with sufficient force it would then refuse to have power for a few days. Then it would work again. At the time I had insurance and they'd do a motherboard replacement which would fix the issue until I pressed down on it again. After at least 5 motherboard replacements they decided to just give me a new one [21:51:23] i swear claire has to do some insane surgery to her laptops every single time [21:51:47] wtf lmao? [22:09:09] is there a gadget that makes the link suggestion in codemirror 6 automatic and not have to be enabled by holding shift [22:11:20] [1/2] I thought it was automatic [22:11:21] [2/2] or was that only in 1.45 [22:12:17] it's automatic for parser functions and tags but not page links [22:14:35] yeah looks like it is only in 1.45 [23:23:30] [1/3] I’m not sure if this might be related to the new update or just an issue on my side, but all the headers are wrapped into the first header somehow [23:23:30] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466936894259466383/IMG_1861.png?ex=697e8ef1&is=697d3d71&hm=2450a61afec574fa3bca568f8f65c1246b95ea46eb139be8274f3360dd4bcd13& [23:23:30] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1466936894561718333/IMG_1862.png?ex=697e8ef2&is=697d3d72&hm=4e665e496db64936c330a957f6b4eb3f1185da1e2e11399b2d46170f763de141& [23:24:05] Oh it might just be the page itself having something that breaks it but I have no idea what [23:26:10] could you link the page?
