[00:02:56] @pixldev cc MacFan4000 [00:06:57] i added the DNS tag but if thats wrong just remove [01:30:40] [1/2] You mean Fandom’s Forking Policy? [01:30:40] [2/2] https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Forking_Policy [01:33:40] Or [Moving a Wiki to Miraheze]? [01:34:25] Or [[Moving a Wiki to Miraheze]]? [01:34:25] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Moving_a_Wiki_to_Miraheze [01:34:26] [01:35:55] [[Moving a wiki to Miraheze]] [01:35:55] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Moving_a_wiki_to_Miraheze [01:35:56] [01:36:04] That one [01:41:38] you can remove the unwanted response of the WB by reacting with 🗑️ [01:43:03] weird, usually it should work [01:43:18] Thanks for the tip anyway [01:43:49] [[User:Pisces/Fighting UploadWizard]] [01:43:49] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Pisces/Fighting_UploadWizard [01:43:50] [02:28:39] That's the one, thank you [04:13:41] you can disable it in Styling tab of Additional settings [07:49:11] Timeless sticky top banner - opinions? :ThinkingHardMH: [09:53:13] [1/2] Hi [09:53:14] [2/2] i need to establish different languages for my wiki. While i figured out how to translate pages, i failed to add the bar on top of the page where users can choose from the translated languages. please, i need help with that, Thank you! [10:07:59] imagine creating an account w/ 1488 in username in 2024 and think nobody notices [10:09:49] (yes, on Miraheze, spotted in request wiki queue) [10:11:17] Where can I find my namespace id ? I need it for a bot [10:13:52] [1/2] [10:13:52] [2/2] if custom, you can open its ManageWiki page, number will appear in URL [10:20:16] Okay thx [11:59:47] [1/2] so uhhh hi [11:59:47] [2/2] there's this page on a miraheze wiki that's basically an unsubstantiated hit piece against myself and the wiki I admin. I know I could edit it myself, but would it be good practice to? [12:03:06] firestar464: personally, it feels kinda odd to come onto a wiki just to edit something about yourself [12:03:24] [1/2] yeah that's what I thought [12:03:25] [2/2] What do you advise I do? [12:03:52] that being said, if the page runs afoul of the content policy (perhaps the conduct section?), you could report it to stewards (either through the normal steward requests page, or through email if you're not comfortable about linking the page publically) [12:04:37] if the admins of the wiki that the page is on appear to be trustworthy, you probably should start the matter from there [12:04:55] (assuming that the person who made the page isn't a part of that wiki's admin team or so) [12:09:52] [1/2] IDK that community is pretty cliquey [12:09:53] [2/2] and there's at least one admin I don't trust (they were literally warned by stewards against vandalizing the wiki they admin) [12:10:01] (i won't even go into their off-site history) [12:10:20] probably should escalate directly to stewards then imo [12:11:00] hm? [12:11:18] start from "so uhhh hi" [12:11:48] ah, my network is truly shit today [12:12:41] Can I do a rant on Trashy Vyond Videos Wiki? [12:13:04] not sure how well suited it is for #general, but i don't think anyone will complain in #offtopic [12:13:12] that's a strange question [12:13:13] tldr: someone writes hit piece about me and the wiki I administrate and I wanted to know what's the most polite way to go about dealing with it [12:13:45] I meant that I’m going to do a rant on it. [12:14:14] [1/2] I think he knows what you mean. [12:14:14] [2/2] He's just feeling that it's not exactly a usual topic of conversation [12:17:07] [1/3] Trashy Vyond Videos Wiki? Oh my motherfreaking god! [12:17:08] [2/3] This Wiki sucks! This Wiki likes complaining about every single Vyond video, even though some of them are average! Besides, the wiki should be called Trashy GoAnimate Videos Wiki, not Trashy Vyond Videos Wiki! [12:17:08] [3/3] This wiki also likes using the NSFW and NSFL templates, when I BORROWED A MATURE TEMPLATE FROM LOATHSOME CHARACTERS WIKI! Plus, the former and the middle templates are misused. [12:17:17] Hello Can anyone help me? [12:18:08] I want to add Skin:Timeless in my wiki asiancricket but I can't find this skin to enable from MangeWiki/extension [12:18:22] indeed [12:18:37] well, thanks discord/my network [12:19:08] [1/2] what I wanted to say [12:19:09] [2/2] I personally don't feel like seeing a rant on something that sounds like a reception wiki, and I don't think a platform support discord is fitting place for that @thestranger9314 [12:19:59] so just to double-check, the email for stewards is sre@miraheze.org, correct? [12:20:08] They also like to complain over every single detail of the video, even if they’re not bad qualities or relatively minor! [12:20:13] you can rant on your personal twitter or something tho [12:20:23] Did you not read what he just wrote? [12:20:27] He wasn't interested. [12:20:31] close the wiki [12:20:37] it deserves it [12:20:53] Your personal opinions isn't constructive feedback [12:21:16] The reception wikis also misuse words like flanderization [12:21:30] You were told to stop talking about the subject, so stop ;/ [12:21:35] you sweet summer child [12:21:38] I don't like reception wikis myself but I don't care about them as long as they don't become pain in the ass like Qualitypedia wikis were [12:21:52] and SJW too [12:21:56] Wikis are only closed for violating the Content Policy or other global policies and for serious reports Steward requests should be used. If you want to simply complain/voice your opinion about a wiki, #general isn't the place to do it as this isn't a free for all channel [12:22:15] Timeless skin is hard coded in MediaWiki, you can just make it default from Styling settings [12:22:56] Trashy Vyond Videos Wiki is in great need of images! [12:23:11] Then add them...? [12:23:14] for stewards its `stewards@miraheze.org` [12:23:15] buddy [12:23:20] drop it [12:23:33] [1/2] hmmm sounds like yet another alt-right screed platform [12:23:34] [2/2] if so then a report could be justified, but we can't really help you that much here [12:25:30] Thanks done [12:26:02] meow [12:27:06] meow [12:27:09] nya~ [12:27:15] purr [12:27:16] narendrasinghchhetri: i answered on the phorge task [12:27:18] mrrp [12:29:55] Can someone tell Trashy Vyond Videos Wiki to delete the NSFW and NSFL templates - a Content Warning Template already exists. [12:30:25] thestranger9314: that is up to the wiki's administration; miraheze stewards take a very hands-off approach to wikis [12:30:40] dude [12:30:46] also, #offtopic [12:31:03] do you read what you're being told? [12:33:18] They've been timed out [12:33:47] on the entire server or just this channel [12:51:05] Did I miss something big on meta? A lot of translation sources are getting outdated [12:57:02] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators#Revocation + loss of context (the previous version has mentions of votes of no confidence but the current does not. [14:16:53] Yes, appointment and revocation was slightly changed in a recent RfC [14:22:11] An administrator may lose their permissions if: [14:22:11] At least 5 users must support. [14:22:21] That, is just odd. [14:31:32] How do I make a CSS thingy [14:31:42] I wanna change the background and stuff [14:32:51] for some shit reason, I got muted for one hour [14:33:11] Dang [14:34:03] @MirahezeRelay [14:40:31] I'd say you were timed out for a good reason [14:41:25] Let’s not repeat it [14:41:38] MediaWiki:Common.css [14:42:39] That's not a person [14:55:17] How do I make a new page? [14:56:48] search the name you want to name the page and then click create the page [14:57:36] So like a list of characters or is that a different thing? [14:57:46] Or like if I make a page of just characters [15:02:27] Are you asking on how to create a page or are you looking for advice for a page that you want to create? [15:02:55] I'm not sure how pages work sorry- [15:03:53] Idk if there's types of pages or not [15:04:44] [1/2] There's namespaces [15:04:44] [2/2] But it doesn't usually matter for just the regular content on the wiki [15:05:01] What wiki are u working on? [15:05:27] Yk how there's wikis about a series, it's characters and sometimes it's world? [15:05:42] Thats the kind of wiki I'm doing [15:06:20] [1/2] That's vague and not what I was asking for [15:06:20] [2/2] I was asking for the name [15:06:25] Not the type [15:06:28] asking for someone but how do you delete your request to create a wiki? [15:06:33] they decided against it [15:07:01] On [15:07:03] Ohhh [15:07:04] Sorry [15:07:17] It's just called "Ruby's Revival Wiki" [15:07:34] I don't think you can but I think you can go into the comments of the request and ask for the request to be declined for x reason [15:08:01] Have you made any edits/contributions so far? [15:08:15] I've tried? ;w; [15:13:17] [1/6] I know there's a tutorial page somewhere but I don't know what it is, since I never had to look at it myself [15:13:17] [2/6] If you want to make a new page there's 3 different methods: [15:13:17] [3/6] 1. Add [[nameofpage]] to an existing page, like the main page. This creates a link to a page with the name that you put down [15:13:17] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/nameofpage [15:13:17] [4/6] 2. You can add/change the name after the /wiki/ part of the url [15:13:18] [5/6] So adding Decorations to the end of my wiki's url creates a link to the Decorations page https://kinderworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Decorations [15:13:18] [6/6] 3. If you go onto the Special Pages link in one of the tabs, you can scroll down that page to find a link to create a new page [15:13:18] [15:13:39] Oh alright [15:15:17] [1/2] There's also a type of page called Categories, which are basically a list of pages that are related [15:15:17] [2/2] So for u, you may want to have each character have their own page, and then put those pages into a Category called Characters [15:17:26] I don't use Categories because my wikis are designed to be as little pages as possible [15:17:39] So I make character page first and then categories? [15:18:10] Doesn't matter [15:18:37] Let me see if I can find some tutorials for u [15:19:25] https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories [15:19:47] https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting [15:20:11] https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images [15:22:36] i meant user as in locally (aka myself), been begging bcs to disable it but they wont [15:28:26] ah, you mean the admin wants to keep it? [15:29:40] fuck man, I'm home on wi-fi and discord is still lagging for me [15:34:40] Just put a comment on the request, a wiki creator can decline or hide the request depending on what you need. [15:43:29] thank you [15:43:34] relayed the info over to them [16:37:31] I made a image that you're supposed to click on and get taken to a different page but it keeps going to the image page [16:43:46] Are you following the syntax of [[File:(filename)|link=(page you want to link to)]] [16:43:46] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/File:(filename) [16:59:37] @ MacFan4000 I saw you closed my MX task - does that mean its been merged or just the change PR'd [17:03:32] PR was merged, should be deployed at this point [17:05:00] Hrmm Fastmail is still complaining at me, maybe itll just take a while to propagate [17:05:18] Puppet deploys every half hour [17:05:29] So it should wake up soon [17:05:32] Ahh I see [17:05:37] there is already an automated schedules? [17:05:43] Look for a message in #tech-ops [17:06:30] Was merged 14 hours ago [17:06:32] https://github.com/miraheze/dns/pull/538 [17:07:14] Yeah was just looking at it, all the records seem correct but Fastmail wont accept it fst [17:07:59] Never mind [17:08:05] I don't see anything puppet related recently [17:09:34] Do they have a support desk you could ask? [17:09:41] They should do, yeah [17:09:51] Ill get in touch with them [17:10:13] Sorry I can’t be of much help I don’t know DNS stuff ~_~ [17:15:34] it looks like the records didn't deploy properly, will get somebody to look [17:16:41] Thank you! I appreciate all the help [17:22:06] Puppet deploys lots of things [17:26:39] What reason is that? [17:27:50] You were told. https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/615786602454581249/1267822602316021760 [17:28:32] One hour is disproportionate [17:29:12] Take further discussion of that particular wiki's template management to that wiki, this server isn't the venue. [17:30:43] You can also join the Netpedia server and discuss the issue there: https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1001373934874284112/1143949300326465587 [17:31:20] Yep, great alternate okption [17:56:41] @tedkalashnikov we've identified a syntax error, fixed it and deployed it, so should work now [17:59:18] Did you get the semi colen [17:59:40] more like a dot at the end of the CNAME entries [18:04:18] That seemed to do it!!! Thank you [18:07:02] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1267906315007819919/makesweet-bwrsv8.gif?ex=66aa7d46&is=66a92bc6&hm=66db555784298e53903d032d9f46ef6f8acb29ff26a83a7af0ef8e15fda6f92a& [18:10:54] no [18:10:57] https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/615786602454581249/1224438238249353297/makesweet-zd7kkp.gif [18:11:22] Even better [18:11:29] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1208571827623043113/1263537368485597318/GbcEQH1.gif [18:11:50] The urge to dump 70 gifs into this channel is hard to resist [18:12:07] Shame IRC don’t support discord threads [18:12:40] How on earth would that work I have no clue, if it it can work [18:13:39] Felenov: replies in ircv3 maybe? [18:13:43] Otherwise it doesn't [18:14:15] Yes, but at the same time IRCv3 does not have threads as a concept [18:15:11] No [18:15:14] It'd be hacky [18:15:52] Isn't irc, especially v3, a hack already? [18:16:25] I have tried to write my own fully v3 compliant client, I rage quit it. [18:17:01] My thoughts was using ##channels [18:17:39] Ie `@PixDeVl has created a thread ##thread-name-id` [18:17:43] ##miraheze-thread-threadname [18:17:52] Oh right prefix [18:17:56] Well threads can share names [18:18:12] Felenov: yup [18:18:26] at this point just add a timestamp as a part of threadname (+1 to hack) [18:19:14] If I was in charge of v3, I would make quips a default part on most network, eris has it, rizon has it (somewhat) and dalnat still has not made one (as far as I know) [18:21:51] Seriously, wikimedia has quips, Miraheze has to have one too [18:22:37] Nope [18:22:41] We don't have a toolserver [18:23:19] YES [18:23:27] honestly [18:23:38] There’s one reason I haven’t set one up [18:23:45] Fair, if there is genuine interest, I can donate a VPS or a ESXi on f2esports.net clusters [18:23:46] My VPS is too week for elastic search [18:24:21] Felenov: we could ask UO nicely his thoughts [18:24:34] We had spare hardware capacity [18:25:10] If Miraheze took donations in Monero, I would have chipped in just so we can have a toolserver [18:25:50] Monero? [18:26:39] privacy friendly crypto currency [18:26:39] an MH tool server would be neat though i feel lots of our our dev folks have a VPS or shell access to test or bots [18:27:11] We probably wouldn't give many shell to us [18:27:14] It [18:27:23] Just use WMF build packs [18:27:53] I think hereku have a similar concept [19:31:08] https://furrnations.miraheze.org/wiki/Comedy_Central_(Draganian_TV_channel) [19:31:16] another one [19:36:54] there's a way to hide the auto-generated short descriptions? [19:38:58] like in Wikipedia? [19:39:01] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1267929464554131486/image.png?ex=66aa92d5&is=66a94155&hm=f9ec7f0a8b426326d33a0e02d51bd4001b4f188cb65b983fce994ee6a5336879& [19:39:09] doesn't appear [19:40:49] when you use the infobox+ [20:03:02] Did someone say miraheze toolserver >:3 [20:06:17] TheresNoTime: yup I did [20:06:58] Interesting idea.. :3c [20:07:38] TheresNoTime: I've been envisaging it for like 5 years [20:08:41] I must fight the little voice that says "I can help there" and remind it I already do too much [20:09:43] TheresNoTime: buy me a server? [20:10:16] And also you're signed up to be admin of it now [20:11:54] hahhh [20:14:49] Though, is the demand really there for it? [20:15:50] There's a few things that could go on it [20:42:55] if i block a user from the `Talk` namespace, does that include all subgenres of Talk like User Talk, etc, or no? [20:47:33] No [20:47:55] okay ty, i have a user putting gibberish on talk pages only and i want to partially block them as a warning lol [20:48:29] yeah, Talk is just for main namespace [21:04:42] Each is technically distinct yes [21:05:41] have they shown themselves to be at least a potentially useful good faith editor/clearly demonstrated they know what they are doing is bad and doing it for fun? [21:07:03] they just joined and i think theyre from fandom and dont know how talk pages on mediawiki work [21:07:09] and they havent touched any articles [21:07:50] okay actually fair the morons erm I mean distinguished editors on Stoneworks Wiki had to be handhell through talk pages as well [21:09:43] What kind of gibberish was it? [21:09:49] phighting babies? [21:10:15] [1/2] [21:10:15] [2/2] (this is a comment on the character, so technically relevant but not what should be on a talk page) [21:11:17] this is common behaviour on fandom [21:11:47] I'd probably just leave a warning on their talk page and only block if they continue afterward [21:13:04] alright fair, im still figuring things out bc normally vandalism is an instaban on our wiki but this i havent handled yet [21:14:16] assume good faith and all that ^^' [21:16:30] i promise we normally do LOL [21:16:44] vandalism is just a huge problem on our fandom counterpart + the games fanbase is a lot of teenagers who genuinely think messing w wiki admins is funny [21:16:47] so vandalism is ban with appeal [21:16:52] but yeah this is diff [21:17:44] yeah, ironically enough on our fandom wiki our lead who follows fandom rules to a T is super strict on that [21:18:19] except for blatant malintent like slurs we cannot block before giving a formal warning [21:18:50] vandalism is just a pain in the ass though, i genuinely dont have time to babysit someone and tell them why destroying the work of others because they think its funny isnt Good [21:19:02] but either way im quite literally paying for an email right now so people can appeal if they cant use discord so [21:26:41] totally understand [21:27:03] if it seems someone is acting in clear bad faith [21:27:06] oh boy, vandalism [21:27:06] french them [21:34:41] this got into my head thanks to this and i dobt know why ||https://wikis.world/@PixDeVl/112877577341875768|| [21:34:59] LOL [23:08:37] Anyone got an estimate of how long between sessions of approval/disapproval of wikis? [23:12:32] anywhere between a few hours and maybe 2 days normally [23:16:31] Alr
