[00:29:19] why is called miraheze [00:35:19] [[w:mira]] [[w:heze]] [00:35:20]

[1/2] [00:35:20]

[2/2] [00:35:42] [1/2] (see also ) [00:35:42] [2/2] > John, being employed at that time by the Wikimedia Foundation, began to brainstorm ideas for the name of the project. At that time, some Wikimedia servers were named after stars and two of them were named 'mira' and 'heze'. Putting these two together generated Miraheze's name and that was selected as the final name. [00:53:30] We already have Yappin in the queue but from my experience any long extension has a much smaller chance of getting reviewed. [02:10:07] huh [02:10:09] interesting [02:25:10] [1/2] Hypothetical question: I've started to become accustomed to using variables for some of my templates, but if I were to apply conditions for variables all at once, it wouldn't overload the template itself, would it? I'm mostly asking because I want to apply variables to a "chapter navigation template" for my wiki, and my story might be at least a hundred chapters long, and I [02:25:11] [2/2] might make a sequel to it (and God knows how many chapters that would last). [06:20:49] is miraheze down? [06:24:41] What do you mean all at once? If you need a navigation template with hundreds of pages DPL is likely the best choice. For anything more involved, maybe use Bucket. [07:05:47] you can place all the conditions at once, and it doesn't overload your device or the template at all, it's all server side [07:07:22] I mean those are processed at server [07:12:53] also texts are nothing, probably only images are the one stressing the server the most [08:21:17] [1/2] How do I verify what version of MediaWiki the `(checkuser-suggested-investigations)` permission that comes with the [CheckUser]() extension was introduced in? [08:21:17] [2/2] Unfortunately it seems that it was introduced in a version of MediaWiki later than the one Miraheze is currently using. [08:34:57] [1/2] Errrr [08:34:57] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1519984299212804178/Screenshot_2026-06-26_15.33.56.png?ex=6a3f8b30&is=6a3e39b0&hm=a8e3447e76ca3934bac564928963fae94a96d6721bd0e73edfe4379b3c172f5a& [08:35:01] [1/2] Why like this [08:35:02] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1519984318984884345/image0.jpg?ex=6a3f8b35&is=6a3e39b5&hm=77ff0ffac87d2111b0fd0f26650252e3e0c389148d859c026a5d51570575a984& [08:35:32] I can verify [08:36:04] Having the same issue too [08:36:06] unfortunately [08:39:10] Tech team is currently on it [08:42:32] ah oh [08:49:10] Access to all wikis should be restored for now. [10:50:13] Is there a way to view how many pages a person has created without having to manually count them? [11:00:10] Special:Contributions is what you're looking for, with the filter to show only page creations (as pictured). Then control+f for the word 'diff' to get a count. [11:00:20] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1520020885904294038/Screenshot_20260626-115720.png?ex=6a3fad43&is=6a3e5bc3&hm=416c6d884c5c5dd92536378799103bad8772de280182291c69ac80a03317a3dd& [11:01:40] There might be a proper way, but that's the only one I know of. [11:06:23] Thank you! 💜 [11:07:04] No problem [11:42:29] Why do people think CSS'ing Vector 2022 is so hard? [11:49:01] the skin is quite ugly by default, mostly due to the collapsible sidebars [11:49:05] some have made it work though [11:49:41] my favourite vector 2022 wiki [11:55:39] I find cosmos kinda ugly [12:09:04] Hello. [12:11:41] @pskyechology Heya! Just wondering is there is a channel where I can hire miraheze or WikiMedia developers to build a custom wiki? [12:11:55] It’s a paid commission. [12:21:20] you can try the mediawiki server, they have a channel for that, you'll find the link at https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1001373934874284112/1001376846216175657 [12:22:51] How would you make Vector 2022 and the Wikipedia mobile skin better [12:25:17] Can you send me the channel link? I’m in that server can’t find it [12:25:23] People said there’s none [12:25:34] https://discord.com/channels/178359708581625856/774358298941325344 [12:26:09] they also linked it to you at https://discord.com/channels/178359708581625856/1520034371799748708/1520039432382845101 [12:30:10] Thanks!! [12:31:20] @pskyechology Are you available to build a wiki yourself? 👀🤔 [12:31:58] We can discuss more in DMs if you want [12:44:52] no, not really [15:41:13] Hey, hum any way to disable bot logs in the discord webhook thing? [15:59:48] My wikia was migrated from fandom [16:00:10] Is there a way to make the info box for character pages work here too? [16:05:03] have you enabled the PortableInfobox extension yet? [16:58:44] Just did a few hours ago [16:58:50] A user requested it [17:06:28] Try making a very small edit on the page with the broken infobo [17:11:58] [1/2] @pskyechology @pixldev REALLY need a response quick, [17:11:58] [2/2] Is it possible to have a wiki on miraheze but the url is ours because we bought premium or smth? [17:12:23] Like a custom url [17:12:30] I don’t even understand [17:12:35] no you don't need it quick and please don't ping random tech members like that [17:12:44] we support [[Custom domains]] yes [17:12:45]

[17:13:12] is coding required in custom domains? [17:13:17] Or is it like any normal miraheze [17:13:54] Mb for the ping tho [17:14:16] No, there is a process to connect the domain that involes a few tech-ish steps that are documented and explained on the page Skye linked [17:14:33] It's not that bad really, just typing into a few boxes [17:16:47] Thank you [17:37:29] For stuff like these is there an editor community that I can hire? [17:37:33] Paid ^^ [17:37:54] If you yourself are willing to work lmk [17:40:14] You don't need to pay someone to complete the steps for a custom domain [17:41:14] except paying for the domain itself I suppose [17:41:43] Yes, was trying to not include that in my wording [17:42:02] You do need to pay to own a custom web domain, but not to connect it to a wiki we host [17:46:47] No I’m talking about literally building it lol, like editing in simple words [17:47:00] We already have the configuration done [17:48:06] Building templates, populating data etc [17:48:16] can anyone help with creating a roblox asym wiki? [17:48:27] i just got mine approved [17:48:45] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1520123668376715344/Hunters_logo.png?ex=6a400cfd&is=6a3ebb7d&hm=40918e8004d21db1c75b84b1175b9e9a075ea0bad8129d53a690e327cfdff971& [17:50:28] I'd recommend going to the community for the game itself to find interested players who may wanna edit [17:50:42] People who already know the game [17:50:45] ^ you are unlikely to find new editors here, we can help with specific issues [17:57:10] thats the hard part [17:57:24] nobody in my comunity knows how lol [18:00:45] tell them to be bold, everyone has to start from nothing [18:01:46] We can help with issues you have but we can't edit about stuff we don't know about [18:02:18] There is also a specific group of Roblox Wiki editors who could give tips and such, but you still need people who know the game [18:04:25] the irwa promo [18:17:22] So I've just started a wiki and I have no clue how to upload images correctly? Can someone help walk me through this? [18:18:02] head to Special:Upload or Upload a file in the sidebar [18:19:12] Yeah I'm just concerned about licensing and copyrights. [18:27:44] TIL about this [18:28:21] while I don't have interest in editing roblox wikis, I respect the roblox wikis that want to move or operate outside of fandom [18:28:57] It’s a pretty damn cool project [18:29:07] I say as someone who’s been in there since before it was public [18:29:08] I know about it [18:29:18] I meant I learned that they have a discord [18:32:10] Why is that, Is fandom bad? I never really edited it or been on there so I wouldn’t know [18:32:35] there are many reasons why fandom is bad [18:32:51] Oh dear [18:33:26] while I have past experience reading and editing wikis there, and generally, the wikis that are still on fandom aren't necessarily bad per se, it's mainly the host that is problematic [18:34:35] I see [18:35:16] for starters, they have an absurd number of ad placements and bloat to the point where like <10% of the screen real estate on desktop is for content, while the rest is the right rail, the giant ad banner on the top, and the sidebar that is lazily loaded right after [18:36:08] they make it hard for wikis to move out of the platform by not closing the old fandom counterpart, which is kept alive to generate as much revenue as possible [18:36:27] It actually started as a private consortium discord of the admins for different wikis then opened as a formal group [18:37:24] there are also some other shady practices, like imposing censorship on wikis for mature topics, such as gta and south park (before they moved) and their many attempts to integrate (gen)AI into wikis [18:39:30] In general, the profit goal and corporation incentives serve to greatly detriment the communities they host and are antithetical and counterproductive towards the value and goals of a community run wiki [18:40:10] That’s my tldr [18:40:26] Yikes [18:40:36] Ohh [18:41:03] at this point, i don't think it's wrong to frame fandom as an ad platform that serves wikis to the side while tricking users into thinking their main service is wikis [18:41:18] since they do value advertisements so much [18:41:23] I wouldn’t agree with that [18:41:56] e.g. satisfactory wiki asked for fandom to remove advertisements, and fandom requested $5M per year to remove advertisements for that one wiki [18:42:38] WHAT? [18:42:58] 5million dollars per year just to remove ads on a wiki?? [18:43:03] yeah... [18:43:35] Dang [18:43:46] that's what I read [here](https://weirdgloop.org/blog/we-wrote-a-guide) [18:45:55] [1/3] here's an example on this: here's what the fandom gloomwood wiki looks like to logged out users and here's the same article on the [newly forked gloomwood wiki](https://gloomwood.wiki.gg/wiki/Merchant) [18:45:55] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1520138053190946826/image.png?ex=6a401a62&is=6a3ec8e2&hm=e4e9d67d8f3d337785abfbccee9dae35c865541cc923defa1bf4d1ba97f69285& [18:45:56] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1520138053572759622/image.png?ex=6a401a62&is=6a3ec8e2&hm=7a6b8cfb7288c4feb835e61f10f1604efa7b6e904a2f16cf1da57b517309b470& [18:47:25] [1/2] and this is the worst you can get on wiki.gg [18:47:26] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1520138433794801829/image.png?ex=6a401abd&is=6a3ec93d&hm=f2de3ea4c9779a8142c334138fe33107d161395e4fc991b44174b5678bbe9e73& [18:48:51] Ohh [18:49:26] No one is gonna pay 5 million just to remove ads 💔 especially in this economy [18:49:51] miraheze wikis generally do have it even better, since miraheze has no advertisements [18:50:05] (Or data selling nonsense) [18:50:22] Oo yess I’ve seen [18:50:32] literally anything is a step up from fandom's ui/ux [18:50:36] ((i actively kill scrapers for breakfast)) [18:50:52] Yum! [18:50:55] She does ^ [18:51:14] nice lol [18:51:23] lmk if you have any leftovers [18:51:29] Didn’t eat lunch [18:51:43] Just quiche for breakfast [18:51:50] But it was food quiche [18:51:55] you can always go hunt for more chinese scraping farms [18:52:01] do you even have cf access i cant remember [18:52:25] No I don’t actually [18:52:38] cool, when are you graduating mentorship [18:52:41] I haven’t used my tech access in a while because I was always swamped with other stuff and classes [18:52:59] But since classes are over now (🎉) I’m hoping to go back to beta messing soon [18:53:18] he was forced to test and fix 300 extensions [18:53:27] My main free time focus rn is actually getting rid of one of my other time obligations [18:53:37] ye old Minecraft bank [18:54:20] But yeah I’m gonna try to use ext testing to hook y adhd [18:56:43] a:waaa: [19:00:42] someone HAS to remake Cosmos to make it look like Fandom Desktop tbh [19:00:51] nah [19:00:58] it should be a separate skin [19:01:06] i mean [19:01:09] it can be also a setting [19:01:19] I think cosmos looks nice [19:01:35] i dislike the icons [19:02:25] also I'm so sure many wikis would consider forking if they had a familiar design to work with [19:06:52] I’m going to tinker with cosmos [19:07:16] Does it still bug out the css pages? [19:08:03] elaborate? [19:08:41] It used to not render the css editing pages right for some reason [19:09:58] i mean i don't believe it still happens [19:23:35] Elevleion? Some kind of FandomDesktop clone [19:47:31] Is there anyway to add a gallery to a page of my wiki? [19:57:02] [1/4] I used the portable infobox. [19:57:02] [2/4] I don't think it's working, I am unsure why—if this is the case. [19:57:02] [3/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1520155949367820492/Screenshot_20260626-155303_Chrome2.png?ex=6a402b0d&is=6a3ed98d&hm=f36d6bcd7f02a04a21152e43103c1fde4e8e2bfd5981be902fee28f879f15a79& [19:57:03] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1520155949568884776/Screenshot_20260626-155250_Chrome2.png?ex=6a402b0d&is=6a3ed98d&hm=7b585f5a9c60d153464f81cbaf0f232245839f1a06adc2d7df68def72c3a5282& [20:44:32] [1/2] Am I uplaoding this image right?

I believe portable infoboxes display the article name automatically though, so get rid of the format field and it should be fine [21:07:38]

[21:12:53] yep, unless it throws error [21:13:03] just post the error here [21:13:38] Alright it got created good [21:13:52] I was worried about copyright stuff mostly [21:14:31] well, most copyright holders just nicely asking you to remove it if they ever wanted to [21:16:10] copyleft usually nicely asking you to attribute the file [21:17:24] Alright. I put the source in the description anyways [21:32:03] Is it an actual medieval thing? Because then it would be public domain, and you can usually get public domain files on Wikimedia without uploading them [21:34:07] Yes [21:34:20] Unfortunately its not on Wikimedia [21:34:39] Have you considered uploading it there too? [21:35:37]
