[00:40:34] I was wondering this as he was a friend of mine [00:43:57] you should be able to view the block reason publicly [00:45:09] Oh, I didn't know he abused alts [00:45:23] I only knew 2 accounts [00:49:57] What did he do prior to sockpuppetting? [00:52:03] do you mean like contributions? [00:52:08] you can view those to [01:08:50] [1/2] forgot the name of the page responsible for allowing changes to the heading tab. could someone pls remind me? 😩 [01:08:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486532345115971644/image.png?ex=69c5d8a1&is=69c48721&hm=94d409dbdf727a391cd04fbc57c13782bbfff66f8336f1b80fe639bb079e59b6& [01:13:13] on cosmos it's MediaWiki:Cosmos-navigation I believe [01:13:22] but generally you'd do MediaWiki:Sidebar [01:13:42] thank u !!! [02:35:38] Hey, odd question but can i just transfer over all the templates from another wiki? I have granted permission from them, im just hoping that theres and easy way of doing it [02:46:42] [[Special:Export\]] to get the pages that you want then [[Special:Import\]] the file you just downloaded on your wiki [02:47:13] is it possible i can do it to every single template one a wiki at once? [02:47:37] also, kinda new to this so i have no clue where to put that [02:47:47] You can export multiple pages yet. You'll have to get the list of all templates from [[Special:AllPages]] [02:47:53]

[02:48:34] again, i have no clue where to even put that [02:49:01] wait i found it [02:49:33] okay i have a lot of the pages here [02:49:51] how do i get all of this and copy it over?

You don't go to each template. [04:10:06] [1/2] Hi everyone! I have a question about how I can get the image of the wiki to show up in the google search results (the logo), does anyone have any recommendations of what to look into, or is it something that fixes itself with time? The site favicon is already set in the settings. [04:10:06] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486577963443949725/image.png?ex=69c6031d&is=69c4b19d&hm=bdaeca1f127442ec0e0423780b3ab39c153fe3865d01acc132548d75eecd2f04& [04:22:11] Can I see your managewiki settings for that? [04:22:20] Cause I was able to set up mine earlier [04:22:55] Not sure about SEO results but it does show up on my wiki [04:23:01] [1/2] Is this it? [04:23:01] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486581214700900434/image.png?ex=69c60624&is=69c4b4a4&hm=77c24d0dee9bed647f092f03d9c9a1a7fa70d2550ed8f15f6f75cd994573d5af& [04:23:20] ohhh I found it [04:23:24] Yeah, just copy and paste the favicon to the icon [04:23:33] Thank you! [04:23:41] Nws [04:23:57] Might take a bit to update [04:25:12] I do wonder if it is intentionally slow like that or it's usually just that slow [04:26:06] I always thought Google was slow at updating logos [04:26:23] I've only fiddled around with the logos like once in the past, and they were kind of a pain [04:27:02] [1/3] Oh, I see [04:27:02] [2/3] This is the first time I am managing a wiki so [04:27:03] [3/3] (Technically I have 2, but the other wiki is inactive because we're waiting for game devs to do their j*b) [04:28:08] Did it update for you now? [04:28:10] Same here, the only experience I've had before now was just editing pages for a game that I really like [04:28:17] It usually doesn't take forever [04:28:25] [1/2] hmmmmm, nope [04:28:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486582572065619978/image.png?ex=69c60768&is=69c4b5e8&hm=a8539afcf075b018f131164e97fbb04eb0e96aa89cb80a43255b2975bce42ecf& [04:28:51] Well..last time I've seen updating skins on WikiOasis can take up to like 2 hours after removing the skin settings [04:29:13] I'm sure Miraheze takes much less to update things [04:29:41] This is on Google's end as well though, so it's probably going to take half a day [04:30:11] [1/2] oh no I have 2 logos now 😭 [04:30:11] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486583019098865816/image.png?ex=69c607d3&is=69c4b653&hm=e0da46cdea80f6ae3888bb81e577b66c42d99796ef699eb90a6398cd0d892215& [04:30:12] (Actually 3, I have 1 wiki on 2 farms for redundancy, planning to make 1 read only incase of vandals) [04:30:29] That shouldn't happen? [04:30:41] I mean the last time I use the same link for all 3 of them it worked fine [04:30:59] Weird, I guess I'll experiment with this and see what works [05:49:04] [1/2] is it possible to give an element a background like this? Or I can only use another overlapping element [05:49:05] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486602872228544632/image.png?ex=69c61a50&is=69c4c8d0&hm=fdbf8dae7884dccdeaa6ce65054cb0f7962c5973922a013ae8e91345a43253b7& [05:52:23] You need the full URL, not "File:Skibidi-Miku.jpg" [05:53:50] [1/2] I don't think it's working [05:53:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486604069517922310/image.png?ex=69c61b6d&is=69c4c9ed&hm=2817dec7aa4c214f6e784f8616b8d89660d9096b55dbcc1b5253f98081698ee9& [05:54:18] I found a support post on this issue saying that inline css can't do this, can't tell if it's been changed though [05:55:12] Sorry, I meant to say that you needed the static URL of the image itself [05:55:38] oh [05:55:55] Open the image on a new tab and copy the URL [05:57:56] [1/2] still doesn't seem to work, is there anything I did wrong [05:57:56] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486605100834230384/image.png?ex=69c61c63&is=69c4cae3&hm=fad1851de0332eb205ece9c696a02a8fb74824beecff9f9bd2facf6f642d220c& [06:10:43] [1/2] I think the default MediaWiki sanitizer strips urls from the style attribute. [06:10:44] [2/2] TemplateStyles should work though. [06:13:58] I see, thanks for helping [06:25:03] what would be the proper route to inquire about increasing `$wgMaxArticleSize` on my wiki to 4096? [06:43:34] You could make a request on [[SR/RC]], though approval requires a valid reason to need it. [06:43:35]

[06:43:39] Hey, how do i export all the photos and import all the photos from another miraheze wiki? [06:58:48] [1/2] Ehhh yknow what, here's my issue. Localization file patch diffs. Some are huge. I've seen one take up 11 chunked subpages (each chunk subpage at a limit 500k). 4 subpages transcluded onto a main diff page is the limit with 2048k as the max article size. I just did the math in my head and realized even with 4096 I'd only be covered for up to 8 subpages. I'm going to [06:58:48] [2/2] do the easier thing and modify my diff bot to change how the diff contents are displayed so that its a list of subpage links to view all the chunks instead of straining the server by trying to push up to 11 subpages onto one page like some sort of degen [07:25:16] If it's from one Miraheze wiki to another, you can use shared file repos [07:25:35] [1/2] can... someone help me figure out why this [isn't working]() ;w; it's all in a container together so there shouldn't be any kind of gap.. [(template page has how its supposed to look)]() [07:25:36] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486627161443008595/image.png?ex=69c630ef&is=69c4df6f&hm=f16bd267d0f3c8df5c3ba379299a78728ca0ed95f801f6988ac873f97db54abf& [07:25:50] Why are we hosting file diffs on a wiki [07:26:09] whats a share file repo [07:26:11] Official TF2 Wiki does it [07:26:43] Their diffs are devoid of early builds from before 2013 though [07:26:48] You can make one wiki share the files of another [07:27:01] So you don't have to upload twice [07:27:07] great... how? [07:27:23] Open a #support thread please [07:28:00] doesn't mean it's a good idea [07:28:01] That doesn't mean I'm questioning whether endless subpages are a good idea [07:28:05] https://tf2cutcontent.miraheze.org/wiki/Diff:441/26 that's all it is, nothing fancy [07:28:08] And whether there's a better way [07:28:27] just shove them into a gh repo [07:28:30] You have a problem with your css too [07:28:40] How so? [07:29:03] it stretches over the toolbar [07:29:18] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486628096307368007/IMG_1553.png?ex=69c631ce&is=69c4e04e&hm=c4c6c17520ce856ddcbfb19fa4513d2c7ed652c18d943376b174fbb4cfe7edf8& [07:29:34] that's just a mobile thing [07:29:54] Snap, I did not account for that with the diff css [07:30:00] Wait how do i get a background like yours? [07:30:10] do you have any experience with css? [07:30:14] That randomizes images? [07:30:20] no unfortunately [07:30:27] nah i just want one image and thats it [07:30:54] this is like my first introduction to coding soooo [07:30:59] i thinkkk [07:31:01] [[help:css]] [07:31:02]

[07:31:13] -# css isn't particularly code [07:31:33] i mean .. it kiiind of is? maybe? [07:32:37] There's [[dev:Template:Backgroudn]] which allows you to cheat and use a pre-built background. [07:32:38]

[07:32:47] It should be fixable. It's a bug. [07:33:03] just requires a max-width and text wrap, no? [07:33:09] content shouldn't escape the main area for it [07:33:48] [1/2] Basically the reason for the diffs is because I'm also doing patch note pages for the game. My wiki covers cut content in Team Fortress 2 but I'm also doing proper full patch documentation which helps pin down dates of addition of certain unused files that got added to the game over the years. [07:33:48] [2/2] If this is an issue of server storage or something, or my diff pages somehow negatively affecting other wikis performance, I'll go rent a VPS and self host a MW install and export my stuff [07:35:23] does it have to me a sv?g file [07:35:32] mira do not have that significant problems with server usage anymore [07:36:17] No. Please read the documentation first. The second example is a png file. [07:37:05] No, it's not an issue. I'm just wondering as to what the best way to do it is. It's our role to ask questions and see if anything can be suggested. [07:37:26] There are always things with servers to do [07:37:32] Ohh my bad, I took this whole thing the wrong way [07:37:55] Intonation and context can be near impossible to get through text alone [07:38:19] tone indicators do exist [07:38:23] ppl just dont use them [07:38:25] 🤷 [07:38:28] interrobang [07:38:36] is this news to you? [07:38:43] maybe [07:38:48] https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/14qc0cs/a_cool_guide_to_tone_indicators/ [07:39:01] oh that stuff [07:39:03] ya [07:39:47] Jesus and here I thought people only used /s for sarcastic and that doing that was some sort of internet fad like uwu or Q_( o. O Q) [07:39:50] I don't think we have anything directly available that could make your life easier tbh. Getting diffs is easy but not pretty formatting and embedding them without a service. [07:40:07] So I'd probably say thats the best way to do it for now [07:40:24] I'm doing this all at the moment with a custom Python script too. It's been a real fun learning experience [07:40:35] nope its an accesibility thing that was normalized by the autistic community but has expanded past it . because knowing tone in text is hard for everyone but neurodivergant people have a hard time even inferring meaning [07:40:52] Ye I wish one day we could have an isolated tools thing like Wikimedia and then you could make your own fancy thing [07:41:07] Python is very cool for scripting with [07:41:37] Well that explains so much, I guess I am technically neurodivergent (though I feel like us divergies are actually the normal folk). ADHD and I'm honestly starting to question if I may be like, the tiniest bit autistic [07:41:40] the most commonly used ones are /j, /hj, /s or /sar, /srs, /gen, /nm, and /lh in my personal opinion . the rest are more nuanced beyond that. sometimes ill just do the whole word like /silly or /threat because its finnier [07:42:13] adhd and autism are very very commonly comorbid. i think they have a comorbidity rate above 60%? i dont. remember the exact number but still [07:42:27] You're in a wiki discord so probably [07:42:32] LMFAO. this [07:42:38] Co-morbidity of neurodivergent conditions is very common [07:42:42] yep! [07:43:16] Diagnosed 1990 [07:43:18] okay so, im trying to follow the extension and documentation but i seem to be having problems, should i open another support ticket for this or use my like 5 minute old one [07:43:21] Autism and ADHD are also comorbid with, but not limited to: MCAS, EDS, fibromyalgia, dysautonomia (including POTS), IBS, GERD, other learning disabilities [07:43:28] dude. be patient. oh my god [07:43:40] sorry [07:44:10] Try https://rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php, it's basically the gold standard of online quizzes for this kind of thing because it's backed by actual academics. Look at the downloadable pdf after as that gives a lot more detail and covers a few conditions. [07:44:32] And we're probably off on a tangent from wikis so the rest of the discussion to #offtopic please [07:44:33] the RAADS-R is also a good place to start. not a diagnostic at all but it can help point in the right direction too for autism [07:44:37] oops! sorry [07:44:59] if we wanna get back to the topic of wikis can someone help me fix my fucking template i broke it again 😭 [07:45:02] whoops thought I was in off topic 🏃‍♂️‍➡️ [07:45:10] true but iirc it's not dying yet [07:45:16] plus isn't cloud21 completely empty [07:45:44] also I never understand how you can get dimms that add up to 135GB unless it's some weird GiB to GB maths [07:46:02] It is not dying, no [07:46:59] wd greens moment [07:48:19] im soooo?? . god. why are templates so annoying [07:49:48] [1/2] htmlcss how i hate you [07:49:49] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1486633256102137866/image.png?ex=69c6369c&is=69c4e51c&hm=bd8e00cb5971a4e322eccca17680b7447b2dca02b48ae53e0d11a7f1c6df0a66& [07:50:49] no idea why this infobox is being such a dick [07:52:30] im so???? [07:53:17] every day i crash out over this wiki and every day i insist i do this for fun [07:55:33] Welcome to software [07:55:40] You'll get used to that feeling [07:55:53] ugh im already used to it i've had this fucking thing since 2024 😭 [07:56:17] like COME ON IT SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE THE FUCKING FLOATING DIV BUT NO. NO. YOU HAVE TO HAVE FUCKING 18 LINES OF WHITESPACE FOR NO GODDAMN REASON [07:56:25] anyways. im totally normal and composed 😇 [07:57:25] the problem will fix itself when more content is added its just [07:57:32] i dont.. have the content to add. [07:57:47] I'm a professional developer and I can be like a kid at Christmas when things deploy and actually work in experiments for the first time [07:57:55] HELP I KNOW THE FEELING [07:58:34] its why i gave up on using citizen. it was too hard for me to figure out the classes as someone that was doing actual css for like.. the first time [07:58:41] when i started this wiki i only knew how to do inline css [07:58:57] and now look i have a wiki thats (mostly) viewable on mobile [07:59:12] i think [07:59:16] i havent checked actuallly [07:59:31] so its been months oops [08:00:26] hmm. im kind of regretting making the main container so wide. having a navbox on the side instead of the bottom of the wiki would be really cool but probably really crowded.. [08:02:19] hm. might be best :wensive: cuz now i have nowhere for my toc [08:03:22] [1/2] is there any easy way to get these all into dropdowns on top of the main page content ... without switching skins...
