[04:04:25] Is this legitimate? or should I block it? https://login.miraheze.org/wiki/User:MirahezeRenameBot [04:16:53] It is legit. It shouldn't do anything besides renaming users and moving user pages. [04:19:59] Somehow this bot is blocked on less wikis than I am. Strange. Those renaming logs definitely seem more sus than myself who usually don't log any actions beyond account creation. [05:26:15] [1/2] can you help me, for example, to make everything in the namespace "test" open so as not to add every article to the whitelist? That is, for example, to open the "test:How_to_make..." [05:26:15] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1548565452375068672/Screenshot_20260913-102429.jpg?ex=6aa78576&is=6aa633f6&hm=835ade293fd6d615541d3b1d80a30ce68bab3bae6acaa0ea3a09106bb576908e& [05:26:46] Well, what is the syntax for which everything where there is a "test:" at the beginning was opened? [05:26:51] ??? [05:30:43] ^Test: would be one example. [05:31:35] Regular expressions aren't well known among most editors, so more regex questions would probably benefit from the #support channel as there's maybe about 5-10 folks who could reasonably answer [05:32:12] https://regex101.com/ is a decent tester tool [05:32:42] ! [05:37:57] And the question is, if I add to the whitelist in a private Wiki, will the main articles that are on the whitelist be displayed in the search, for example, in Google? [05:38:31] If you whitelist articles for read by anyone, they can also potentially be indexed, yes [05:39:01] The magic word `NOINDEX` on certain pages can help, but isn't a guarantee. [05:40:13] If you want a particular namespace to be 100% noindex, you can do that by managing the namespace and setting the robots policy how you like [05:42:09] Where can I do this? In the namespace settings? [05:42:20] Yes [05:43:30] thanks [05:48:44] can a search in a private Wiki be allowed using a whitelist or not? [06:22:25] is it possible to remove it so that someone could not change the theme just so that there was 1 theme and the other one did not get out, or it simply did not exist? [06:24:15] so you can leave only 1 skin enabled? Well, should I remove those that don't? [07:03:05] You can add unwanted skins to `Skip Skins` on `Special:ManageWiki/settings#mw-section-preferences`, so users cannot change skins through `Special:Preferences`. [07:08:40] You have asked this time and time again. The answer has not changed. The only solution is the above you can not disallow ? useskin as you have previously wanted. You have been warned to not waste volunteer time. [07:10:16] The answer has been given to repeatedly and we will not continue to entertain this, which is wasting our time. I do not mean to deny you assistance, if you have legitimate questions, ask, but we will not entertain questions that have continually been answered. [07:11:03] What?

[07:12:02] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1536266232842428476 [07:12:42] I'm sorry, I probably didn't see it or I forgot [07:19:42] Is it possible to combine them so that, well, there is a thing that can upload images to Wiki X and embed them on Wiki Z, or can I add another Wiki so that, for example, Wiki V can also be embedded with Wiki X? I hope you [07:19:46] Is it possible to combine them so that, well, there is a thing that can upload images to Wiki X and embed them on Wiki Z, or can I add another Wiki so that, for example, Wiki V can also be embedded with Wiki X? I hope you understood [07:21:42] It just doesn't seem to let you do it, just merge 1 wiki [07:54:34] [1/3] Почему не включается если я все так указал?

I need that to know, as it happened on an miraheze wiki recently. Thank you! [13:08:40] you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette [13:19:28] [1/2] Am I supposed to always navigate my wiki from here [13:19:29] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1548684544436084867/Screenshot_20260913-194828.png?ex=6aa7f460&is=6aa6a2e0&hm=aa43042944d06a0ae1dd0b31da7b6f04ea28efad4f405f6c442fe8a1f1f7c825& [13:19:36] [1/3] are omelette's necessary, though? [13:19:36] [2/3] can we not live full lives without them? [13:19:36] [3/3] must we destroy life to to create flat breakfast? [13:24:44] yeah exactly, we break the use case of wanting to see an immediate update, to make the omelette of having an ad-free wiki farm sustained entirely by donations [13:25:04] you can bookmark the wiki [13:26:14] tbf though [13:26:32] you could just hook it up to purge load.php when a .css or .js page in the mediawiki namespace is edited [13:26:45] and do the same for other page changes [13:27:28] [1/2] Hi everyone losing my mind with those infoboxes rn [13:27:28] [2/2] how are y'all doing [13:32:40] And, I'm a little bit confused on one particular matter. Does Miraheze, or whatever it is, they own my wiki or I do once it's done creating or something [13:34:27] And who got the coolest wiki icons and stuffs here [13:35:08] not sure what you mean by this [13:35:36] I think I make it pretty clear what I am insinuating [13:36:24] Do I own the wiki I requested? [13:36:42] Which has been approved, apparently [13:37:02] we're all hippie communists who believe ownership is theft [13:37:10] see [[wiki governance policy]] [13:37:11]

[13:37:33] we do not assert creative control or anything like that per [[Terms of Use]] which covers your question literally [13:37:36]

[13:38:44] if it is a community wiki then per se we do not acknowledge an 'owner of the community' and various policies apply which may divest control, but if it is say a personal worldbuilding wiki then that is irreleant [13:38:48] I think I red something like if I go overboard with things that don't have anything to do with the wiki at all, my wiki will be closed or something like that [13:39:07] indeed if the wiki goes into unacceptable scope it may be closed [13:39:24] For example? [13:39:28] there is not an inherent right to be hosted, more a good-faith offering subject to what is admittedly sometimes a bit of a patchwork of policies [13:39:31] what is the request [13:39:36] the number is enough [13:39:53] if you link outright you might get a bot slap unless you #verify first [13:40:23] a link like [[mh:battlecats]] will always be fine though [13:40:24]

[13:40:31] internal links, true [13:41:12] So, if I make a wiki about an American tv series, but later I added other American tv series. Would you count that as going overboard, and irrelevant to the wiki [13:42:14] Say Supernatural, then I added some shit like the Walking Dead [13:43:02] adding irrelevant tv shows would be an expansion for which the wiki could be closed for going too far off its requested basis especially if it becomes a conflict with another hosted wiki, which is why [[Content Policy]] wants something like that to be cleared first so we can tell you upfront if that is a problem [13:43:03]

[13:43:41] it is not a guarantee it would be closed but for that I would recommend you create a wiki specifically dedicated to the walking dead unless there is very compelling structural reason to do them both at once [13:44:05] Hmmm kk [13:44:14] Can I create my own icons [13:45:02] [1/2] the structural reason is for example if what you are making is personal fanon based on supernatural and you decide to expand into your fanon on the walking dead; this would be framed around it being your production and be a potentially approvable expansion. [13:45:02] [2/2] No restrictions on icons, if you can change it and know how go for it (within reason, always have to say that) [13:45:32] Are you insinuating that there isn't a guideline for that [13:45:44] we don't tell you how to do icons as far as I know no [13:45:51] Kk [13:45:54] Cya [17:03:31] (Within reason, e.g. don't be defamatory, don't be gross, don't be misleading, don't do clearly policy-violating things with icons) [17:43:39] What's the easiest way to get a list of all the files on a wiki without a copyright template in their description [17:55:51] I don't know if there's a proper way to do it, but I'd use the special page that lists all files, then use MassEditRegex on preview (with a null edit) to get a list of all files which call a template on their page, then use an R script to compare the two lists and output a list that contains only those entries that appear in the first list and not the second. [17:56:31] To be honest I expect there's a better way, but I don't know it. [18:10:49] might be easier than an R script [18:13:02] I suppose it depends what you're used to, I know and like R. [18:13:05] [1/2] I personally use to get lists of things, e.g. I can list all files by running that on Special:PrefixIndex/File:. [18:13:05] [2/2] For finding which files have a copyright template I'd use this pwb script [18:13:21] we have a 'Difference' button on https://xyy.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Pagelisttool [18:13:40] yeah I didn't actually want to answer the question because I know my way of doing it's really convoluted [18:13:49] Fair [18:14:04] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1548758681141776394/image.png?ex=6aa8396c&is=6aa6e7ec&hm=b242c8c0e2055cac4076b58c2e8b6783d71a82d5c9285f0fcc1581d4ccb0e071& [18:14:10] or rather, it has a lot of prerequisites. it's quite easy once you're used to it [18:17:36] btw since jswikibot is available i found it's the best way to list pages by some criteria [18:18:08] i always random pick a function of its just to use its page selection tool [19:21:46] [1/2] Sorry if its a newbie question, but what can i do to fix a template so it can fit the word without that letter going to a second line?
