[00:02:30] [1/2] I can give you a link, but we use PortableInfoboxes. We do have separate parameters for tab names and tab titles, yeah - it does add to "parameter bloat" a bit so I actually don't use TemplateData for these templates. It means that the amount of parameters is directly tied to how the infobox displays, which isn't really a great solution. [00:02:30] [2/2] I think wwr's suggestion of classic (non-portable) infoboxes would be better (and more elegant) if you want more flexibility over tab numbers and TemplateData support [00:10:12] @janebuzjane: Ill admit, I saw something in here earlier that maybe Portable Infoboxes might not be as good. I would guess because Portable Infobox is kinda connected to fandom.com ? [00:11:20] and yea, I want my infoboxes to be flexible. I want to find ways to code in tabs that i can add on as needed (as in, having one infobox template that covers making an info box whether it has 2 tabs or 6 tabs). Same goes for the style tabs for just switching an image (but leaving the templatedata values the same) [00:12:40] [1/2] Yeah, I think that's part of it - they're also written in XML instead of in wikitext, which lots of experienced admins/editors don't like. They display nicely on mobile out-of-the-box but as I think wwr pointed out somewhere a few days ago, with CSS grid properties that shouldn't really be a problem nowadays. I think you'll definitely be happier with classic infoboxes with the us [00:12:40] [2/2] e cases you've mentioned. [00:14:21] Just was offering #if statements as a solution if your infoboxes were going to be a bit narrower in scope and you didn't want to bother with modules~ [00:23:17] Yeah. I want to find the kind of code to use that is closer to the Classic Infobox . Im okay installing modules but obvioulsy I have to stick to what Miraheze allows [00:27:21] @janebuzjane Any chance you know where I can find the code needed to create such a thing? I have an idea of some infoboxes (seen on other wikis) which kinda speak to me as far as what Im after. Some are using {{#if... (for example, this template https://minecraft.wiki/w/Template:Infobox_item . Notice that the parameters listed use this thing where it goes GroupN) [00:30:13] Im on IRC so I dont know if I can show images here: https://www.pasteboard.co/U-B-qKVlhR94.png (this shows the source of that infobox tempalte, but I do not see where GroupN stuff is set up) [00:34:30] They're using a module and the grouping is handled within the module ([here]()) - The template is just invoking the module, and the parameter for number of tabs is telling the module what to do [00:35:54] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:LuaInfobox [00:36:01] just add like 15 paragraphs of invisible nonsense text per page [00:36:03] smh my head [00:36:09] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [00:38:13] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:LuaInfobox -- thank you . It looks like I can likely pull the code manually or ... import? I had originally started making templates using Portable Infobox but I wanna switch [00:38:56] Import w/ dependencies is what you'll want to do, ye, and add the JS as mentioned [00:40:33] Okay. That will be cool..... Even if this LuaInfobox template is what I base mine off of, I understand the sentiment of keeping to just 10 or less infobox tabs [00:41:18] There is an example template https://communities.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:InfoboxWiki which does something similar to what you want. It creates 2 tabs if the page wikitext is smaller than a certain size. You can see the difference in https://communities.miraheze.org/wiki/Stella_Sora_Wiki and https://communities.miraheze.org/wiki/Blue_Archive_Wiki [00:42:18] [1/10] Another route is to use https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Tab which only creates a tab if the text is empty, so if you do something like [00:42:18] [2/10] ``` [00:42:19] [3/10] {{Tab [00:42:19] [4/10] |1={{{name1|}}} [00:42:19] [5/10] |2={{{value1|}}} [00:42:20] [6/10] |3={{{name2|}}} [00:42:20] [7/10] |4={{{value2|}}} [00:42:20] [8/10] }} [00:42:21] [9/10] ``` [00:42:21] [10/10] If `name2` does not exist then you won't see the second tab. [00:48:16] [1/3] hi there, im wondering if there is anyone who would be able to help me set up a `pairsfile` for this pywikibot script? [00:48:17] [2/3] [00:48:17] [3/3] i read the instructions but im struggling to understand how to format the data 😅 [00:49:42] I KNOW IT'S :NotdoneMH: THAT SHOULDA BEEN OBV FROM THE MESSAGE UNDER IT- 😭 [00:53:13] hi pixl LOL [00:53:49] Never tried but it seems like just a text file with double bracket links to the original and new titles, doesn’t seem to have anything that specifically pairs the two besides counting every two lines or smt [00:54:11] [1/2] it has some weird thing regarding the second column which i just dont understand [00:54:11] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1537262962039980123/image.png?ex=6a7e6733&is=6a7d15b3&hm=d4c6a24cf894a3a3029fbe6e22c90d354ce240ef0591b2e345740c923d79e269& [00:54:55] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1537263143863058522/image0.gif?ex=6a7e675e&is=6a7d15de&hm=17f0737321c823ca06f37f8c0e2fe96132086546f40a58762828ac66efeb92f2& [00:57:25] Who wrote this thing.. [00:57:39] Okay like I get it. I think. But also I don’t and this is not a great way to explain or do it [00:57:46] yeah it does not make any sense to my brain LOL [00:57:57] And raises the question of if the brackets are actually even needed?? [00:58:00] Okay uh [00:58:05] Honestly [00:58:10] You just need to change namespace right [00:58:38] yeah [00:58:50] i need to move Patch_Notes/[Page] to Patch_Notes:[Page] [00:58:54] i have a list of all the pages [00:59:16] oooooooookay [00:59:24] i have my laptop out now so [00:59:27] nw [00:59:28] dm? [00:59:42] You can DM me the list if you want yeah [01:00:04] I think I have a better way of doing this [02:04:43] @posix_memalign hi, i hear you might be able to help with pywikibot? [02:16:43] Just use [[dev:jswikibot]] and replace `Patch Notes/` with `Patch Notes:`. [02:16:44]

[02:17:41] there are too many bots what on earth [02:18:04] alright thank you ill try it [02:18:16] i couldnt even get PWB to login 😅 [02:22:28] THANK YOU SO MUCH it worked 😭 [02:24:07] WAIT THAT DOES WORK? [02:24:28] it did hallelujah [02:24:33] OH COME ON I TRIED THAT AS LIKE THE FIRST THING AND COULDNT FIND A RENAME OPTION LMAO [02:24:40] LOL IM SORRY [02:24:53] no this is funny lol [02:31:38] [1/6] ``` [02:31:39] [2/6] oldname1 [02:31:39] [3/6] newname1 [02:31:39] [4/6] oldname2 [02:31:39] [5/6] newname2 [02:31:40] [6/6] ``` [02:33:18] It's one of the features I really want to have. Being able to rename pages based on find-and-replace patterns instead of a pairs file. [02:33:37] usage like `py pwb.py .\movepages -noredirect "-summary:omochi gave me permission" "-pairsfile:pwb_input.txt"` [02:37:38] It's still a bit iffy because there is no preview button, so once you click submit it's YOLO time and the bot can do a lot of moves in a short time before you notice a typo. [02:46:08] yeah, in the end i couldnt even get my bottpassword to work so [02:47:32] `('TheWWRNerdGuy', BotPassword('AWB', 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'))` [02:47:44] yeah i followed the docs exactly and it just did not work [02:48:26] [1/21] ```python [02:48:26] [2/21] from pywikibot import family [02:48:27] [3/21] class Family(family.Family): [02:48:27] [4/21] name = 'miraheze' [02:48:27] [5/21] langs = { [02:48:27] [6/21] 'en': 'battlecats.miraheze.org', [02:48:28] [7/21] } [02:48:28] [8/21] def scriptpath(self, code): [02:48:28] [9/21] return '/w' [02:48:29] [10/21] return { [02:48:29] [11/21] 'en': '/w', [02:48:30] [12/21] }[code] [02:48:30] [13/21] def version(self, code): [02:48:31] [14/21] return "1.38.4" # The MediaWiki version used.

Does it allow users to edit pages with all custom protection types or all protection types? [04:50:00] Woah! [04:50:05] Sims pfp? /pos [05:09:37] Do u means /s? cause /pos can be misintepreted very easily [05:10:08] Nope! I'm certain I mean it positively. [05:10:14] I like Sims. [05:10:45] I like eradicating every Maxis-made Sims and replace them with Sims of my favorite characters from various fandoms. [07:26:38] all custom protection types as far I'm aware [07:59:57] How do I verify this? [08:00:36] i'm not sure [09:29:17] [1/2] heya just wanna ask something in regards to colouring text [09:29:17] [2/2] i know you can give tex basic colours using `(text here)/span`, but how do you make gradient text? [09:42:09] `style="background:linear-gradient(your gradient here);background-clip:text;color:transparent"`? [09:43:44] how should the gradient be formatted? [09:48:27] [1/2] found a site that does it quite nicely, i'm sure there's better ways but this works fine for now [09:48:27] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1537397412375568394/image.png?ex=6a7ee46a&is=6a7d92ea&hm=67666438d238439fa026cc78ab6757bfa3238715216e8884b9151ff023745549& [09:48:52] [1/3] `T/spana/spanl/spane/spann/spant/spane/spand/span /spanA/spanr/s [09:48:53] [2/3] pant/spani/spans/spant/span` [09:48:53] [3/3] i love codeslop 😋 [09:49:50] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Values/gradient/linear-gradient [09:52:03] hm i see [09:54:47] that's defenitally one way to do it lol [09:55:07] transparrent text on a gradient background [12:17:51] It’s not available for users I believe [12:17:57] Or at least it shouldn’t be [12:19:13] I am aware. Hence why I asked. [12:19:39] I would have tested it myself if I had access to it. [12:20:30] it is indeed a permission meant to grant global groups the ability to perform actions without needing to deal with being unable to action pages with custom protection levels [12:21:13] Does it work on non-custom protection levels though? Also would the permission work on custom protection levels outside of Miraheze? [12:22:09] take it away pix [12:22:45] I literally wrote the code to add the permission so I can just explain how it works exactly rq lol [12:24:34] Basically if a user with this permission has permissions to edit a protected page checked, the code gets a list of all the configured protecting levels, specifically removes the ones in default mediawiki, and adds the associated right to the list of permissions of that user [12:25:08] So no it doesn’t work on ‘vanilla’ protection levels, and if you wanted to yes the code should work just as fine off of Miraheze [12:25:25] You just may need to tweak it a bit because of the global permission check [12:25:26] it's a hook [12:25:40] Would it work just as fine off of Miraheze though? [12:25:53] see his last message [12:26:03] Probably™ [12:26:16] [12:26:30] Is there no way I can have a definite answer? [12:27:02] your definite answer is the opposite of "do you use CentralAuth" [12:27:08] as in, if you dont, it might not [12:28:03] i dont think my logic works rn let me get another coffee [12:28:25] It's just that I'm about to specify what the permission can and can't do. And I need to know that it would work on non-Miraheze protection levels before I add that information to an article. [12:28:28] The code is really very simple logic you could reimplement it around the central Auth bit fairly easilt [12:28:38] It would really just be simplifying the code more [12:29:04] wdym by "non-Miraheze protection levels" [12:29:35]
