[00:39:50] Hello yall. I'm new lol [00:43:01] Guys [00:43:07] Hiya [00:45:57] hi new, I'm jenny [00:52:58] I know lol [00:53:53] :stare: [00:55:06] Basically Wikipedia is going out of business once the world makes wikis-- [01:08:59] would you believe me if i said wikipedia is a wiki [01:14:28] I know xd [01:18:22] Source: trust me bro [01:49:34] Hello all, I am new to Miraheze and here, and contributing towards wikis in general. I'm trying to start a wiki for a book series that I like. Does anyone have any guidance on how to start building up a wiki from scratch? Not the technical side of creating and editing pages, but how do I start turning the physical books that I have copies of into a structured and substantial wiki? [02:00:30] do tons of outreach for finding like-minded people who want to contribute and help [02:00:47] have a well-structured roadmap that gives you direction for what you want to prioritise [02:01:49] for me, i focused heavily on getting the most important characters of my wiki's universe documented first [02:02:35] don't focus too much on design/aesthetic in the beginning, as long as it is passable and FUNCTIONAL, to where it is not an active chore for editors to sift through, then it's fine [02:03:45] above all else, work with community, it is better to write something that isn't perfect but has plenty of room to grow and can be adjusted by others, rather than to write nothing at all, and recognising that from others and forgiving errors is the biggest thing for growing community [02:03:57] otherwise creating a wiki is just not sustainable without that [02:08:12] that's excellent advice, thank you. can you explain a bit about what a roadmap should look like? there's very little existing content online on these books, so I will be starting from scratch directly from the physical books, and my plan was to start with book/chapter summaries, and then from there build pages for characters, places, factions, etc. [02:25:34] [1/2] I can't tell you much about making the roadmap, but I can tell you that for any given "thing" (eg. locations, characters, major events, whatevers), I'd recommend you create a list of all of that "thing" in one pass skimming the books, noting down page numbers when the thing is first introduced. Makes it much easier to make sure you don't miss anything [02:25:35] [2/2] . [03:32:04] thank you, ill do that. is there any specific site i should use for compressing images or just any site that will do it? [03:34:29] your local software to create zip/7z/.. i think [03:46:04] <7bottlesofvodka> I still have alot of trouble importing template, is there any tutorials [03:46:50] <7bottlesofvodka> 💔 or do anyone take wiki commission [05:09:03] I think there might be an issue with static. Having trouble loading any image at all on AVID [05:09:55] also getting timeouts when trying to approve file uploads via Special:Moderation [05:14:38] link? [05:15:09] Seems to have sorted itself out just now actually [06:13:14] 502, again [06:32:56] <.cielnoir.> hello, im pretty much new to wiki-making like this, i wonder if i could see a full tutorial on how creating a table of infobox character for character's wiki? i've been trying the edit source and template but it didnt work, thankyou in advance ! [06:49:36] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:Infoboxes [06:55:18] <.cielnoir.> thankyou ! [07:15:13] [1/3] Hi i would like some help, I want the text to be formatted like the image on the right, but I've been struggling trying this for a while and just can't seem to get it to work 😭 [07:15:14] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1549680040814317698/image.png?ex=6aab9381&is=6aaa4201&hm=44de4935a602430a219d6b9577aabe05e75f784133e75a7f706ea1aea8aec8f7& [07:15:14] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1549680041414365204/image.png?ex=6aab9381&is=6aaa4201&hm=4397b464fba5c35ec4570a02f9be44b172be81e1777e473fb62dd0791751870b& [07:23:18] Can you share your code? [08:04:41]

[09:29:50] [7/9] hi2 [09:29:50] [8/9] {{Clear}} [09:29:51] [9/9] ``` [13:05:29] Oh by the way, is there a way to turn off contents on the side of pages site wide? I know there's _ _NOTOC__ but that's annoying to add it to every page lol [13:05:32] [1/2] This bit [13:05:32] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1549768198776299661/image.png?ex=6aabe59b&is=6aaa941b&hm=c98c81514dd65befcd177909e7121b8015e2568e863c55728483f208ed8c05bf& [14:15:44] I don’t believe there’s any way to do it site wide [14:18:23] you definitely can, probably just selecting the CSS of that section and modifying it to display as none [14:57:44] non-important question, but is there an alternative to MostWikiPoints now that its dead? it was kind of fun to have and compare between editors lol [15:31:29] ContributionScores? [17:12:11] Question, what would be the easiest way to create an interactable world map of Discord servers as a directory? Would it be DataMaps or Kartographer? [17:12:17] Unsure which one to use [17:27:02] alr nvm datamaps is way more doable [17:30:50] [1/4] > Improvements: [17:30:50] [2/4] > Improved compatibility with JPEG XL images. [17:30:50] [3/4] -Waterfox 6.7.3 update [17:30:50] [4/4] 🙌🏿 [17:37:25] is it safe to mass remove instances of `border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px`, it seems to just clutter the code [17:40:11] I used border-radius: unset; [17:55:53] you can at least condense it into "border-radius: 0px" [17:56:35] you can also apply it to the "body" element instead of spamming it everywhere, and just make sure that any elements that do need a border radius specify it in their own selectors [17:58:16] i wasn't the one who even applied those lolll i was noticing some other user remove instances of it and figured to make the job easier on her [18:20:51] it'd be `border-radius: 0`, you don't need measurement specification for zero [18:24:20] [1/2] uh huh [18:24:20] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1549848427477602324/image.png?ex=6aac3053&is=6aaaded3&hm=8849f51cf4c4085076d1ea4d50782d8bce0c429c060d551b5a1c40c22c345035& [18:24:27] I cant create my own userpage? [18:24:39] on the general miraheze wiki [18:26:15] I know technically it's optional, but I like doing it to be consistent [18:29:18] [1/3] Does anyone know why this mbox keeps stretching and not looking like image 2?
