[00:02:16] Hello I am the funny 339 guy on meta who mostly works on the characterpedia [00:07:45] O [00:08:55] 💤 [00:14:58] Btw how the wiki farm going for you rodejong aka The librarian [00:21:20] No problem, I know you are very busy atm. Just a heads up though, that info would be very useful on the interwiki page - If info was available, I wouldn't have needed to ask in the first place. Small in the grand scheme of things I know, but the little things are important too. [00:36:14] anyways @tedkalashnikov everything working righr mostly? [00:36:21] if not tell me what to fix [00:37:02] im just wondering if theres a way i could allow for both interwiki links and external links? [00:37:26] For the link param? [00:38:08] Yeah should be doable [00:38:12] Will do on Sunday [00:38:18] would i need two seperate link parameters? [00:38:35] if that would be the solution i can probably do that myself :o [00:39:46] nope i could make a function to match for “https://“ and then change the syntax [00:39:49] oooo ok [00:40:22] once you have a full programming language the barriers of typical wikitext logci fall to dust [00:40:25] 🤩 [00:40:47] i might be able to do this myself actually [00:40:55] ill give it a go and if not i will be patient LOOOL [00:41:11] also whats phightings credits page im curious to read the list lol [00:41:21] oh its Meta:Credits, youre not there yet but will be i prommy [00:43:25] look on mediawiki.org for the syntax for either regex matching or starts with for https://, according for http:// if it dont Use secure cause cringe [00:44:43] External is `[https://example.org Link]` and `[[Page|Link]]` [00:44:43] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Page [00:45:50] nod nods [00:47:18] btw on beta there was an extension to preview a page with the unsaved edit which was a life saver when making this cause I didn’t need to save and purge. Would recommend looking into [00:47:36] eh, i have a preview button already? [00:48:04] For modules? Odd, it didn’t show on beta. Maybe an extension screwed it [00:48:10] oh [00:48:19] no haha not for modules oops [00:48:24] Yea lol [00:48:48] previewing the template page shows you what itll look like without saving [01:06:41] mk. so this is the general support channel. chit-chat stuff is more appropriate in #offtopic [01:09:00] Thank you [01:44:50] [1/5] does anyone know what's wrong with this infobox? whenever I try editing the contents of it in visual editor it messes up the infobox and like duplicates it instead of just saving the changes I want to make to it.

I was going to request a change to the username of my test account, but I forgot what I had to do.

[08:31:18] tysm [08:31:35] [1/8] The template supports adding custom styles via the `style` parameter (and text style via `textstyle` which you already used). You can use CSS properties to change how your box looks like. To find the properties for what you need, simply google "css " and you'll get plenty of resources. [08:31:35] [2/8] For backgrounds, `background-color` is used. For more info read https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp [08:31:35] [3/8] So, if you add [08:31:36] [4/8] ``` [08:31:36] [5/8] | style = background-color: lightgray; [08:31:36] [6/8] ``` [08:31:36] [7/8] to your test page in the template, you will have a light gray background. :pupCoffeeMH: [08:31:37] [8/8] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1238770467620257823/image.png?ex=66407e66&is=663f2ce6&hm=6f08e6689274dc999d813a4936969af1ce4237904ef745f4cd39b6656d1ddffd& [08:33:06] [1/3] yay thx [08:33:07] [2/3] how do i make it fully wide though [08:33:07] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1238770849830666302/image.png?ex=66407ec1&is=663f2d41&hm=de42bf37757566364581384c6a7e26d5cee476465e716f08ce4831a701105167& [08:33:54] with `display: block;` [08:34:18] You can add multiple properties one after another, just don't forget the `;` [08:34:22] [1/2] like this for example [08:34:22] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1238771169558007828/image.png?ex=66407f0e&is=663f2d8e&hm=4e31a30dabe80f99d5e7c3cc398daad324648436b49b9545e55d9a19dda109d4& [08:34:28] how do i make the boxes look like that [08:34:32] with the little bar on the left [08:35:41] [1/2] did i do it right [08:35:42] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1238771502258847824/image.png?ex=66407f5d&is=663f2ddd&hm=bf54fbfb97b9d0d0a6574634b6632e7293c30506f68c68a34f4766d2307b498f& [08:35:53] no, in the same line [08:36:04] | is used to separate template parameters [08:36:17] oh yay [08:37:17] [1/2] i like how wikipedia has these but idk how to do that [08:37:18] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1238771905431863366/image.png?ex=66407fbd&is=663f2e3d&hm=790a4dd1eef47da06fe0dd861f9f6d2643a108a758223b4a7606ae993609c3b0& [08:37:23] like the little bars [08:37:29] This can be achieved with a border, and borders can have different widths/colors on different sides of the box. I suggest you google a bit for the styles you need (like "css how to center a box" etc) and get more familiar with the basics of templates to make things a lot easier for you. Then you'll be able to make the box look however you want ^^ [08:37:44] borders are the border property [08:38:01] https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp <- a good tutorial for these [08:38:49] [1/2] @xenareee i put it in [08:38:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1238772291094188052/image.png?ex=66408019&is=663f2e99&hm=1c5456c20406034b2d9cd57b67066cf8f05d33654471d19db1f4ee4012ccc0a4& [08:38:52] but it doesnt show [08:39:08] only take the stuff inside the brackets [08:39:15] these are the properties [08:40:03] Again, please take a look at some resources to know what you can do [08:40:17] oh ok thank u [08:45:34] https://embryology.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Npov [08:45:37] I made you one [08:51:11] yay th [08:51:12] thx* [08:53:58] [1/2] did i do a good job @xenareee @rodejong [08:53:59] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1238776103368392744/image.png?ex=664083a6&is=663f3226&hm=c5d3f9df9137f760b604c32152b29b725d7d162d9350bfe784db80a10d65469d& [08:54:04] does it look ok [08:55:00] yes [08:59:37] I fixed your documentation Template with a simpler version [08:59:43] Lookin' good!

I ask for this change because I'll be moving away from China soon and need to make edits on public computers, and later save changes by moderating the contents. [12:20:12] May I know how to do this? [12:27:00] there's Moderation extension [13:08:47] howdy! [13:09:19] May I know how to use this extension? [13:09:44] I haven't used it but each extension has a documentation on mediawiki.org [13:09:55] hi [13:09:59] I enabled this extension and edits from registered members can be moderated [13:10:00] But I need to enable guest edits as well [13:10:15] Okay I know [13:10:32] Do you know the way to enable guest edits? [13:10:50] you mean non registered members? [13:11:02] the wiki is public or private? [13:11:34] Public [13:12:05] Oh that means guests without an account are assumed to be in this user group? [13:12:25] I don't know a guest user group [13:12:36] there's no such by default [13:13:10]
