[03:22:34] Would a Wikilambda equivalent for Quickstatements be useful? [04:11:40] are you sure about that? they dropped support for IE a long time ago. but that's not the point I'm making, mediawiki/wikimedia pages used to be much more distinctive, but the wmf has been making the theme as plain as possible, removing as much colour as they can (even making logos black and white in some places), and making logos much less prominent (removing them [04:11:40] entirely in som [04:11:40] e places), so now every page is just yet another generic black on white html page with no distinguishing features. one slight scroll down in the new skin and I can't even see which site I'm on any more, and that's a problem for me on my phone because my browser shows me thumbnails of the pages when switching tabs (re @Feeglgeef: On one hand it looks ugly AF, on the [04:11:40] other hand you [04:11:42] can load the Wikipedia main page perfectly on IE7) [04:12:10] They dropped support, yes, the mainpage still renders fine (re @Nikki: are you sure about that? they dropped support for IE a long time ago. but that's not the point I'm making, mediawiki/wikimedia p...) [04:12:26] The rest of the site doesn't, but that's not the point [04:12:28] did it fail to render when there was more colour? [04:12:40] No (re @Nikki: did it fail to render when there was more colour?) [04:12:53] then that's not relevant to the point I'm making [04:13:14] This is a fair point. (re @Nikki: are you sure about that? they dropped support for IE a long time ago. but that's not the point I'm making, mediawiki/wikimedia p...) [04:13:33] What would you prefer it look like [04:13:41] Give another website as an example [04:14:30] Something that would be nice is the main page taking up more than half of the main page [04:17:50] Because surely you aren't suggesting the website have an orange background? (re @Feeglgeef: What would you prefer it look like) [14:25:13] you keep linking this _Wikipedia_ policy (re @Feeglgeef: [[w:WP:SOFIXIT]]) [14:25:35] we don’t have such a policy on Wikifunctions at the moment (nor on Wikidata, for that matter), and Commons explicitly has the opposite policy ([[com:Commons:Don't be bold]]) [14:25:51] it’s up for discussion, of course, but I’m inclined to think Wikifunctions should be closer to Commons in this regard [14:28:15] [[c:Commons:Don't be bold]] [14:28:15] I would say "be reasonably bold" (which could be tied to WP "don't be a d*ck" but a bit stronger) (re @lucaswerkmeister: it’s up for discussion, of course, but I’m inclined to think Wikifunctions should be closer to Commons in this regard) [17:04:21] Does anyone know what is the page https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Human_languages for? [19:05:29] Toby your thumbs down is ambiguous (re @Feeglgeef: Does anyone object to me putting a create function link on the main page?) [19:05:42] I guess I should've asked a better question [19:05:57] We have an essay (written by me, of course) (re @lucaswerkmeister: we don’t have such a policy on Wikifunctions at the moment (nor on Wikidata, for that matter), and Commons explicitly has the op...) [19:06:32] And it's an essay, not a policy on commons (re @lucaswerkmeister: we don’t have such a policy on Wikifunctions at the moment (nor on Wikidata, for that matter), and Commons explicitly has the op...) [19:06:55] So we are as "Be bold" as commons as "Don't be bold" [19:55:00] Is there something like a "Enum" type? I see it mentioned here and there. I also think that I saw a Z page for it somewhere, although it's possible that I'm imagining it now. In any case, I cannot find such a page now. [19:59:43] Not as such. We have a different Type for each enumeration. For example, Z16927 is the enumeration type for the months of the Igbo calendar (like Z16959). (re @amire80: Is there something like a "Enum" type? I see it mentioned here and there. I also think that I saw a Z page for it somewhere, alt...) [20:00:21] ^^ (re @Al: Not as such. We have a different Type for each enumeration. For example, Z16927 is the enumeration type for the months of the Ig...) [20:01:42] Something is decided to be an Enum by the software if any of the items of Z4K2 have a Z3K4 of Z41 (re @amire80: Is there something like a "Enum" type? I see it mentioned here and there. I also think that I saw a Z page for it somewhere, alt...) [20:02:57] An Enum type means that the meaning of the types values comes from there existence. True is just true because true has a value of itself [22:34:35] I daresay the Commons essay has, during the 16 years of its existence, garnered a higher level of support than yours, even if it isn’t a policy, so I can’t agree with this equivalence (re @Feeglgeef: So we are as "Be bold" as commons is "Don't be bold") [22:57:24] I think should change this: [22:57:25] “Policies and guidelines should be written in English first and then translated to other languages. The English version of the policy or guideline is the authoritative version on which other language versions should be based.” [22:57:27] To something like: [22:57:28] “Policies and guidelines can be written in any natural language. A translation into international English should be a high priority. Once translated, the international English version should be adopted by consensus as the authoritative version on which other language versions should be based.”
