[01:13:34] So any strategies for SEO now that Google has killed site links when searching? [01:16:38] Honestly I just made sure my wikis are set up on other search engines like Yandex and Bing, which is not a bad idea anyways but felt more important to me now [01:18:07] Bing ding ring ring [01:18:41] Does the WikiSEO extension support new search engines yet [01:19:02] can anyone provide any proof of the search engine change in action? [01:19:16] wikiSEO does next to nothing anyway [01:19:21] if anything [01:19:29] google doesnt not consider keywords or descriptions [01:20:36] I don't see any new verification keys supported so I don't think so [02:08:09] It still creates the metadata required for SEO and social cards. MW by default have close to nothing [02:21:21] kai being proven WRONG!?!

[04:09:55] I log back successfully [04:10:06] But kicked again after 1 refresh [04:13:31] Well [04:13:40] Nothing wrong now [04:18:58] The Page is refreshing again and again [04:38:03] <18.748.837.46> [1/4] https://thecrisiswars.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Seal_Ba%27ath_Iraq.svg [04:38:03] <18.748.837.46> [2/4] this image and this image specifically is not showing correctly on my wiki [04:38:03] <18.748.837.46> [3/4] when i go to wikimedia commons it looks fine, when i look at it on here the middle flag is broken [04:38:04] <18.748.837.46> [4/4] one time i legit downloaded the image from wikimedia commons, uploaded it into my wiki, and its still broken [04:38:57] <18.748.837.46> [1/2] incase for whatever reason its rendering fine for you guys this is how it looks on my end [04:38:58] <18.748.837.46> [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1507603722438705335/Screenshot_2026-02-04_013043.png?ex=6a1280e1&is=6a112f61&hm=deef269480c51e62ef0ff6e94816b9dac09988a5d85ddbe0ea468975ccf2addc& [10:23:12] [1/2] this login system tweaking again [10:23:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1507690355116474389/image0.jpg?ex=6a12d190&is=6a118010&hm=d91d8004aa654a3c73a506b11f449dda976652d2fb01c698e0c089f6cb3bb0d0& [10:52:23] try logging in on meta then [10:52:25] lol [10:52:37] I think for now that's the best workaround [11:16:19] I got comment from Admin? and I responded it 14 hours ago, and dtill waiting [11:16:24] *still [11:16:44] This is a CentralAuth bug I think. It should not show this error when the session is invalidated. [11:17:04] Okay? [11:17:32] Idk if it is normal [11:17:38] it is [11:17:49] I'll go trip tomorrow, so i might not create pages for 2 days [11:17:53] I have no idea who admin? is or what request you're even talking about [11:17:59] We ain't mindreaders [11:18:04] Oh?

[14:13:41] Sometimes It refreshes automatically and shows I'm in [14:14:06] But then in 5 seconds it refreshes again and I'm off again [14:16:34] I've tried to logoff at meta and login in meta [14:17:02] Also tried logoff in meta and logon in my wiki [14:17:10] But none of them work [15:02:04] log in on meta and then log in on wiki worked on my wiki [15:34:12] Weird Gloop uses a forked version of vector legacy that includes a different search menu [15:36:12] they backport the search from vector2022 [15:38:26] @pskyechology would it ever be possible to get vector2010 WG edition on miraheze [15:38:43] u might have answered that before for me im not 100% [15:42:48] theoretically but not too keen having multiples of the same skin [15:45:13] So anyone know what happened to login system? [15:45:21] 😭 [15:46:39] [1/2] the solution is to clear your cache and cookies or to tough through it with multiple logins [15:46:39] [2/2] or as you were told above, to log in on meta and login on your wiki [15:47:02] Tried both [15:49:00] Also tried other brosers [16:55:43] FUCK. [16:55:48] I fucked up the INFOBOX. [16:55:50] HELP. [16:57:15] NVM fixed it [17:12:04] Damn bro I can't log in either [18:09:45] [1/3] this is probably a really obvious question... [18:09:45] [2/3] is there a way to have my `[[Special:CreatePage]]` links automatically load a page with a category? [18:09:46] [3/3] I want this so I don't have to teach my non-technical contributors the category structure, but have a page with links to "Create an X page" "Create a Y page" etc. [18:13:01] [1/3] Newbie here. Have an issue with a Infobox template i am using. For some reason, it keep listing the Template in the Category page i put in the infobox. How can i solve it? [18:13:02] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1507808589463420988/imagen.png?ex=6a133fad&is=6a11ee2d&hm=b0c109343740020b913ab91e85f9720e2076d7212c64f90622f7308f970e0e5f& [18:13:02] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1507808589790842920/imagen.png?ex=6a133fad&is=6a11ee2d&hm=f484306cf255d6b5d0edd2b675c1517564c67b50d62f2624588ec3a8707432e6& [18:25:07] I believe wrapping that in an includeonly is the solution [18:26:12] Seems like there might be some hiccups in how things are nested, if you'd like to provide a direct link the community might be able to help debug futher [18:27:00] https://ndmc.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:CVInfobox [18:27:54] Yeah, it's that second category on the second to last line [18:27:59] Need to wrap that in an includeonly as well [18:29:00] Oh, wait, shoot, sorry [18:30:39] It's because you're invoking the template on the template itself in the 'usage' section, so it inherently gains the category. [18:32:56] Ahhhh, i get it. So, there is a way to avoid that, or should i delete the usage section alltogheter? [18:34:31] The silly way would be to create a separate template without the category but same general output, then invoke that one instead in the example. [18:35:21] The harder way would be adding some conditional application of the category based on namespace to the template code, but that adds some more expensive overhead. [18:35:31] The dead simple way would be to just remove, but maybe other folks have better ideas? [19:22:34] try using this for the links https://pilgrammed.miraheze.org/wiki/t:Safecat [19:22:52] it does this [19:23:26] Nice. If it doesn't add much extra demand to page load, seems like an easy solution [19:24:11] Yeah, two ifs is still pretty light [19:25:37] how to change the database of your wiki? [19:26:22] cause my wiki is about a certain game and i changed the game's name [19:28:59] [[Phorge]] [19:28:59] [19:51:25] Problem with that is that hides the Category in all the entries i use the template [19:54:20] it doesn't seem like you're using it the right way [19:54:30] i updated the usage here [19:54:48] and you have to make a new template page on your own wiki and copy the code [19:54:59] to be able to use it [20:23:59] hi [20:24:01] how do i get the short description to appear with the article name in the search bar? [20:24:30] [1/2] for example [20:24:30] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1507841677493272606/image.png?ex=6a135e7e&is=6a120cfe&hm=be84a19867a810ebd73c3cc25fcc2b20f27fafc6dc564e86d75570ed76f219bf& [20:26:53] You can use [this extension](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortDescription) [20:29:21] it already was enabled tho [20:29:34] i'm wondering if it's a skin issue [20:30:45] yeah it was [20:30:57] Should work for vector (incl 2022), minerva, citizen and timeless [20:31:10] Monobook too [20:31:12] yep vector 2022 worked [20:31:14] ty [21:50:57] WOAH...
