[00:51:39] ? [01:49:31] The edit count discrepancy [09:19:28] They probably made edits in wikis that are now deleted [09:20:05] Though it's also possible that their edit count doubled because they were renamed, I fixed that bug in CentralAuth last week (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth/+/1241052) [11:04:27] nothing compared to https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Immanuelle [11:06:14] [1/7] It's the time of the month for MH Monthly which catches me off guard because of how short the month is. [11:06:14] [2/7] @crystalite13 I was thinking of skipping tech tips because we had too much content, but since some stuff is written I went through the guides you included. [11:06:14] [3/7] 1. The guide by Zeus is 2 years old and has some suggestions that would not work (e.g. changing sitenotice on fandom; requesting wiki closure), but there are also lots of valuable information. They also overlap with existing guides such as https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Moving_a_wiki_to_Miraheze. I think we should absorb it into whatever official resources we have. [11:06:15] [4/7] 2. NA's guide I would not include because it is more than 2 years old and is left in a draft/list state. [11:06:15] [5/7] 3. The guide on my user page should've been moved to help namespace and could've become a centralized place to absorb the content on other guides. Unfortunately this is not yet done. I should've prioritized this one. [11:06:15] [6/7] 4. Raidarr's guide is a good one to include in MH Monthly imo: some other guides are more official in that they aim to address the technical aspects of the migration. Raidarr offers lots of personal insight which would be less appropriate to say officially but works well as a user space guide. [11:06:16] [7/7] In conclusion I'm still not sure if I want to keep the tech tips section this month. If we do we should think about which guides to include and make appropriate changes, which is kind of late to do this month. [11:37:56] [1/4] Looking for feedback for the current draft as usual: [11:37:57] [2/4] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_Monthly/February_2026 [11:37:57] [3/4] Lots of parts are unedited at all (e.g. the IRWA interview) so feel free to suggest anything even if it seems too radical. [11:37:57] [4/4] I really need to sleep but will give it a more careful pass and work on the formatting once I wake up. [18:06:47] sorry, i should have checked with you [18:07:11] i sort of forgot about the date to and when i saw the empty section i kind of panicked 😟 [18:45:20] [1/3] I honestly feel some sort of responsibility now after being included here lol [18:45:20] [2/3] I'll probably try to make time for translating next weekend whenever possible xd, quite a bunch to be translated to VI [18:45:20] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1225560610628964423/1477738525641281667/Screenshot_20260302_014422_Samsung_Internet.jpg?ex=69a5dabf&is=69a4893f&hm=21793581351f404a3d5ad080f8242827e4db5f26c38ae39ae8248b0b945c8a2e& [18:46:41] come further into the cabal [18:47:06] I mean the only real requirement is on [[meta:translators]] [18:47:07]

[18:47:45] basically don't be awful at translating and don't go completely inactive [18:50:00] I really like the section on the IRWA, what a cool idea 🥳 [18:50:17] [1/2] Yeah I'll do my best to provide quality translations [18:50:17] [2/2] What's the use of the role if you're not gonna translate it well, people would rather ai translate at that point lol [18:50:47] It in turn endorses people to come to mh too [18:51:30] Honestly, I feel like MH is the highest quality service for general types of wikis like Roblox games [18:51:51] wiki.gg missing out on capitalising on children frfr [18:52:13] 😭 [18:52:54] omw to blow up all roblox wikis to spite fearless [18:52:54] Will we one day grow miraheze enough to the level of Wikipedia...actually nevermind that would be hell [18:53:23] Please god no [18:53:33] I don't really care if the roblox wikis blow up [18:53:44] I don't use em often..do it /s [18:53:45] I don’t think the whole volunteer only thing would work out much atp [18:54:05] Child labor 🔥 [18:54:31] Unless the amount of volunteers scale with the attention [18:54:48] WR honestly looks fine rn as more people are requesting for it [18:55:58] Though if mh gets wp attention overnight then we're cooked lol [18:56:11] Too many requests to handle [19:00:00] Not happening lol [19:00:31] Remember, the English Wikipedia is a top 10 website in the world [19:00:49] Yeah we'll be fine as long pewdiepie or some massive influencer don't advertise us lol [19:01:13] Yep..and it has other languages as well, so it hits even harder [19:02:15] Though I don't think many people use other languages of WP [19:03:24] spanish is like the other big WP language edition I think? [19:04:40] <_arawynn> german is the third biggest WP [19:05:55] even then nowhere near [19:06:01] like TikTok isn't even in the top 10 [19:06:27] I thought tiktok would have the highest DAU [19:06:34] Like seriously [19:06:35] hmmm, but most TikTok users don't use the website [19:06:46] Just the application [19:07:04] oh true [19:07:57] tends to have over a billion reads a month as well, I didn't know it was that big: https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/de.wikipedia.org/reading/total-page-views/normal|bar|2-year|~total|monthly [19:10:34] [1/5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-visited_websites: [19:10:34] [2/5] ``` [19:10:34] [3/5] This list and its two reference data sources —Semrush and Similarweb— do not account for app traffic, which now constitutes the largest share of overall internet traffic. [19:10:34] [4/5] ``` [19:10:35] [5/5] And yet it is still 11th, if it did include app traffic it would probably top google search [19:12:32] what in the god damn abuse filter did i just trigger on metawiki with my official account and who do i gotta explode and give cake to [19:12:55] (cause said edit should be on my normal account but still pissed that I got abusefilter'd) [19:13:53] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/1398849 lmao [19:14:12] official accounts should probably not be subject to that filter methinks [19:14:28] <_arawynn, replying to bluemoon0332> Are those the visits of german speaking Wikipedia or visits from Germany? [19:14:42] https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-walter-white-youre-right-youre-goddamn-right-gif-12030781 [19:14:54] it's the total visits to the German Wikipedia [19:15:15] all visits, doesn't have to be from Germany [19:15:40] <_arawynn> that's good to know and those are quite impressive numbers [19:18:56] @thewwrnerdguy (or other meta admins): can you update https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/16 to check for editsemiprotected userright instead? thank youuuu <3 [19:19:45] autoconfirmed is another viable userright [19:22:32] <_chrs_> would look like this btw: `!("autoconfirmed" in user_rights)` [19:52:12] autoconfirmed is a group not a right [19:52:24] The user right is confirmed iirc [19:52:28] it is also a right, apparently [19:52:34] wouldn't have suggested it otherwise [19:52:48] `Not be affected by IP-based rate limits (autoconfirmed)` [19:52:55] Oh wait no [19:52:59] That's dumb naming [19:53:07] Screw the wmf some days [19:53:13] autoconfirmed group has the autoconfirmed right 😋 [19:53:24] there's noratelimit already, why didn't they call it noipratelimit [19:53:26] Yes but so does confirmed [19:53:37] Which is the manually confirmed group [19:53:54] which is exactly why that needs to be changed [19:53:55] The manually confirmed group has autoconfirmed as a right [19:54:17] gatekeeping making edits from our gigantic pool of 0 manually confirmed editors [19:54:56] oh we do actually have some [19:55:03] 0 active manually confirmed editors* [20:01:42] <_chrs_> well yeah, confirmed is (on well run wikis) generally given out temporarily until you get autoconfirmed [20:22:02] done [20:27:29] Naming might possibly be the hardest problem in both tech and corporate operations, nothing in my years of experience refutes this. 😄 [20:33:54] I would like to present acryonms of badly spelt types of trees as a naming scheme [20:36:03] REDWOD [20:36:06] hmmmmm [20:36:14] no not badly spelt enough [20:36:17] what about [20:36:21] uhhhhhhhhhhhhh [20:36:38] REDWUD [20:36:48] RODWOD [20:37:02] RONWUD [20:37:50] The number of times I've seen someone propose a 'project polaris' or 'guest insights 360' or the millionth thing called 'experience next' [20:38:06] MIRANEXT MIRANEXT MIRANEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
