[00:55:37] [1/4] i have a few questions regarding wiki creation [00:55:37] [2/4] 1) are these able to be changed later? I assume mostly likely yes, but I want to be sure [00:55:38] [3/4] 2) what are some good examples of what to put in the "Name" field? I know what the wiki will be for but not necessarily how it should be phrased [00:55:38] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555020327992561724/image.png?backend=b2&ex=6abf0109&is=6abdaf89&hm=d7439b40e3ddba01a58848fec9c5a8c514c020fbd3218c5a5a756eb6dc4bc111& [01:04:26] [1/2] 1) Yes all of these can be changed later [01:04:26] [2/2] 2) Generally people also put what the name of what they're covering + wiki, like `Detective Beebo Wiki` for example, though it doesn't inherently have to be it's probably good to just do that if you're unsure [01:05:32] alright, thank you [01:05:39] i have a third question as well [01:06:40] [1/3] this wiki will be moving from someplace else, a fandom wiki [01:06:40] [2/3] however, the fandom wiki of origin does not just cover the wiki we're creating on miraheze right now, but many other pages [01:06:40] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555023106886738100/image.png?backend=b2&ex=6abf039f&is=6abdb21f&hm=2c145626bbe2436f751bed20376b7143116133f51db9acf8d9ddb575f9510488& [01:07:15] [1/2] the structure is something like 1 wiki => points to lots of individual pages [01:07:16] [2/2] should i check this box or not [01:09:59] Not sure I'm qualified to answer this one but my opinion is probably, the word of a wiki reviewer would mean a lot more than mine here tho haha [01:10:13] [1/2] alright [01:10:13] [2/2] is this something that can be changed later or nah [01:10:23] and will it cause problems depending on what i pick [01:10:52] while the input itself won't ask you to make the name related to what you're covering, the reviewers will [01:11:29] if your wiki's name doesn't relate to the wiki's topic you will be asked to change it, if you don't the request will be denied [01:12:45] Yeah it should definitely be related, I was thinking of like -pedia type names when I was tryna say it doesn't have to match the example I gave [01:13:29] Afaik it's just a thing for the reviwers [01:15:14] Idk if picking wrong would change much or not [01:34:10] subdomain is the hardest to change and would involve sayinghi to tech [01:34:28] changing scope should have someone look over it to be sure it won't change into something that would be unacceptable [01:34:38] rest can indeed be changed at will whenever [01:35:18] would mark it as a fork which is a one time while-reviewing consideration, then explain as being from a fandom wiki with the context provided [01:38:53] can anyone help decorate and set up my wiki? a:Syellowsobbing: [01:40:36] it appears i am having this issue again [01:41:10] i did a reset of another wiki and now im having the issue of when i create any css or javascript pages it just fills it up with template data from the previous version of the wiki [01:42:13] [1/2] like, this is absolutely not what i typed in lol and is from an infobox i had in the previous version of the wiki [01:42:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555032053874040883/image.png?backend=b2&ex=6abf0bf4&is=6abdba74&hm=a46da02076701474e59e18d4a8c0548f9b6c196c1219d159a9c46275bdb2bcd3& [02:00:33] Where do I file a DMCA [02:04:45] [[Copyright takedowns]] [02:04:46] [02:47:15] what happened to comments on wiki [02:47:20] i cant se them [03:16:56] Hello when I try to edit templates in the visual editor the page gets stuck at loading. I can change or add them in source editor though so I'm not sure what's going on :Questioning_Nikki: I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue too? [03:32:30] which wiki? [03:32:39] battle cats [03:32:48] or did they like remove it [03:32:53] bc it was down for a bit a while ago [03:33:10] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555059977817694300/image.png?backend=b2&ex=6abf25f6&is=6abdd476&hm=8fc09a1485402607a13be6bb722953c1a171b9a8b113db9488a49b2f80571ba5& [03:45:21] ic thanks [03:53:46] When I click on edit template the whole page freezes too [04:55:54] Try enabling TemplateData in extensions [04:56:18] I had the same issue a few days ago and someone suggested the same, and it fixed it [04:56:39] omg I actually saw your thread about it just now and turned it on and it works again! :yayyy: [04:57:55] It was driving me nuts because I'd write a large chunk and then the page would freeze when I tried to edit a template :bceTired2Dead2: [05:04:02] [1/2] how do i change da sidebar colors [05:04:02] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555082842751504444/IMG_9055.jpg?backend=b2&ex=6abf3b41&is=6abde9c1&hm=895c2eb35df5d81d0eb976e0344cea9d8dc707cd5b2c90de44fda5cd881c2f60& [05:05:48] Seems like VisualEditor now requires TemplateData for templates to work? Should that be mentioned in ManageWiki extensions? [05:06:37] Actually, I'll just forward this question to the #tech channel [06:33:32] https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T16228 [07:37:38] <_arawynn, replying to pxdnbluesoul> Please use the Public Test Wiki for that, requests for testing wikis don't get approved.

I've been given both Administrator and Interface Administrator yet it says I'm not able to edit the settings. Is there any other role I need?

[16:04:39] nothing to worry about, part of learning CSS is learning what isn't worth your time [16:05:02] CSS can do a lot of really cool stuff, but doing that cool stuff will often take up way more time than its worth [16:07:05] is there a way to get templates to render in-line? i've got a template that's a single and mediawiki is rendering it (and the surrounding text) in individual

s [16:07:54] you'll probably need to use tags inline with the template content, since any line breaks may result in the parser generating p tags around the template [16:08:34] oh i had already done that but it wasn't working for some reason, just reloaded and it's fine now cheers [16:08:51] ah, classic [16:16:51] [1/2] doesn't seem to work inside other elements though?

I'm looking at transferring pages and files from one wiki to another (same ownership and author). Is the best way to do this still to essentially download and reupload all files with a bot? Also would we need to still manually delete the original files on the original wiki? [16:55:24] what wiki [16:56:06] [[dev:]] [16:56:07] [16:57:07] @pixldev knows how to run a bot to get an archive of old wikis iirc, and with that archive you could make a [[phorge]] task for tech to import (if the content is small enough you can use [[special:requestimport]] [16:57:07] [1/2] [16:57:08] [2/2] [16:57:13] Like, volunteer know of it, but people outside rarely do [16:59:06] Ah thanks. Both wikis would still be active, would this affect the archive? [17:00:07] it would mean the archive will be slightly outdated since any content produced after archiving won't be in the archive [17:00:14] but other than that no [17:00:39] Ah okay that wouldn't be a problem for the pages we're transferring [17:01:43] Thanks for the help! And thanks in advance @pixldev for the bot info [17:55:59] [1/3] https://doomsdayhunters.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Achievements [17:56:00] [2/3] https://doomsdayhunters.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css [17:56:00] [3/3] seems like the css for the ranger navbox is not working for some reason?

[17:58:29] nope, not even after purging & appending debug=1 [17:58:54] actually, nvm, it is working in a private tab [17:59:00] I think it takes some time for stuff put in common css and skin pages to load in, even after a cache refresh [17:59:09] thx [17:59:12] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555277919729754162/image.png?backend=b2&ex=6abff0ef&is=6abe9f6f&hm=bb7d441942ae3bb9c670516e2bd44ed8b30eb7f7d5db1b06cb4b18bf3beaf9e1& [17:59:25] gadgets usually faster, templatestyles immediate [18:00:08] I see [18:00:18] yeah I put them all in common.css [18:00:36] nonetheless, ty for the answer [18:00:52] and it's showing up fine for me now [18:04:07] wow shortdescription is weird now [18:11:04] [1/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555280904493203577/image.jpg?backend=b2&ex=6abff3b7&is=6abea237&hm=b2499dfe26ac0b26914c8f335089e12ca0af414a3aac799b551ec6f650a2c9e2& [18:11:05] [2/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555280906321788999/image.jpg?backend=b2&ex=6abff3b7&is=6abea237&hm=870f262204484f98202087fc715792f4526047d82e46ad72864f040996cbfb67& [18:11:05] [3/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555280907362115626/image.jpg?backend=b2&ex=6abff3b8&is=6abea238&hm=33707d7dc4142490256b74a1b00499c724fe21eadd47de1f88e29a78a8abf04e& [18:11:05] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1555280908167417966/image.jpg?backend=b2&ex=6abff3b8&is=6abea238&hm=601112a3a971d400cda9a325165ceef10839606a60edba0a381284c460e44f2b& [18:25:00] iirc debug=1 doesn't work, you have to use debug=2 [18:37:56] Used that as well and it didn't work at the timd [18:52:24] Will miraheze update their default vector css icons to the new design or not? [19:15:19] Are you trying to transfer all pages/files or a subset of them? If it's all files then what Jenny suggested with the bot works best. Otherwise you can use a bot to download the files you want and then reupload. Same goes for exporting/importing wiki pages. [19:17:16] It's not all, only a select amount. So we're subsections to a new wiki, so this would be around 6 pages and near 1000 images. (They are pages archiving game cosmetics) [19:18:41] You can download these with [[dev:jswikibot]] and then upload them in bulk with MsUpload or SimpleBatchUpload. [19:18:42] [19:27:58] Perfect, thank you! [19:37:35] plox [19:40:02] wait is there a way to overhaul the css entirely [20:06:05] as long as you've got the skills, you can probably do it [20:06:44] see the @/CSS/JS Support Volunteers if you need help [20:09:16] [1/2] Selectors for the Vector-2022 skin sticky sidebars should be something like `.vector-sticky-pinned-container` (set to transparent on our wiki) and `.vector-pinned-container` (where the actual color went; you can [see an example here[()) [20:09:16] [2/2] You would put your CSS in either MediaWiki:Common.css or MediaWiki:Vector-2022.css as these selectors are specific to Vector-2022 skin [20:09:53] [[meta:How to customise the look of my wiki - Miraheze Meta]] also [20:09:53] [20:10:00] ugh [20:10:11] [21:50:34] [1/2] Hello, I got this question from a user.
