[03:10:44] First wiki request was a bit shaky lol [03:10:56] Slightly confusing interface but I'm 99% sure I got it figured out [03:43:20] Congrats! We'll get volunteer-specific channels up shortly to smooth things out going forward. [03:43:30] + a WT-specific updated WC guide. 🙂 [06:00:57] wiki not found errors happened enough that yandex crawled 3 pages of it 💀 [06:01:09] I have no idea what /wordpress/ is but still [06:05:31] blogging platform that is tied into one of the extensions, I forget which one [06:09:50] Yandex is aggressive [06:09:54] They index us like there's no tomorrow [06:15:39] Upside to that, at least, is that changes are picked up quickly [06:15:50] they did help me with cleaning up ugly redirect urls that were getting indexed. google didn't even bother [15:22:44] I will add only because it won't leave my brain otherwise that my barely-awake neurons briefly went "yandere index" which feels weirdly profound [17:40:47] I didnt even think yandex still exist [17:48:08] What other safe search engines can you upload site maps to? [17:54:23] If Russia still exists, so does Yandex. 🙂 [17:54:58] Im sure russians have the capability to use other sites too lol [17:55:32] It's true, but it's essentially their google, massive use at this point. VK is a competitor, but it's more like a bing or facebook [17:56:21] [1/2] vk is where people put all their pirated stuff lol [17:56:21] [2/2] but yeah its the big russian social media [18:11:54] So, other than google and bing (which I could get it to index anything), there’s little other choice. [18:22:03] I mean, duck duck go if you really want, but they just inherit from Google and Bing anyway [18:23:08] The ones that can potentially give you value are all listed on settings#mw-section-seo [18:23:27] But also I think Alexa might be defunct, so that one's probably not worth bothering w [18:27:01] [1/8] I guess my ratings for the console registrations: [18:27:01] [2/8] * Google - Yes [18:27:02] [3/8] * Bing - Sure, if you have time [18:27:02] [4/8] * Facebook - I guess, if there's an active community on your topic there [18:27:02] [5/8] * Yandex - Russia-specific mostly, limited benefit depending on intended audience [18:27:02] [6/8] * Alexa - Defunct, no longer relevant [18:27:03] [7/8] * Pinterest - highly-dependent on your wiki topic how much beneft you'll get here [18:27:03] [8/8] * Naver - Korea-specific mostly, same as Yandex [18:34:30] Helpful 👍🏻 [18:34:52] Bing - if you have time? [18:40:05] At least in US, bing is not a highly utilized search engine. [18:41:25] Great example of global use proportions out of statista: [18:41:42] Other sources put bing closer to ~5% [18:41:54] So, not nothing, but google should absolutely be priority 1 [18:44:26] @realtjari, need confirmation before proceeding w/ rename request, see DMs [18:53:27] Interesting. I knew google had the market share but I didn’t think it was that high. [18:55:01] Any of those quoted numbers always have a bit of an asterisk next to them, and regional variation is also very much a thing [18:55:09] I already have my site map on google but it seems slow to do anything [18:55:23] But yeah, google, for the most part, dominates other search engines [18:56:09] Yeah, google's painfully slow at first, but once it's indexed an appreciable amount it'll radically improve your search ranking [18:59:24] I had no issues with my other site on MH, always comes up no.1 in search results, then again it’s been active for 7 years. I know I have to bide my time with indexing but google will take days between attempting to crawl my WT site again. [19:16:58] does anyone know how to solve google not getting served the mobile site when checking if the site works on mobile [21:15:48] ooof. I guess I'll wait a few minutes :D That was unexpected [21:16:15] hope I can just paste the stuff I just copied from the page I was editing and could not save. [21:21:27] Pinging @Site Reliability Engineers on this one, as I'm not sure which thing to kick/restart [21:29:51] Just kick all of it, I'm sure AWS's datacenter doesn't mind [21:36:10] Receiving the same error message on my wiki as well still. [21:39:40] Yee, Same for mine [21:58:05] @notaracham considering the error is that we can’t reach the DB I don’t think’s there is anything that you as mw-admins can do [21:58:55] (Requires DB server access to fix) [22:07:57] Thanks for context, since the error mentioned some middle layer services I can reach, didn't know whether this was out of my scope. [22:34:35] @agentisai ^ [22:37:45] ditto dat ... This site is experiencing technical difficulties. [23:52:45] Everything still down? @agentisai [23:54:36] no, not anymore [23:55:19] And it miraculously starts working as soon as you say that. Typical.
