[00:07:14] I requested the wiki yesterday (I mean, it's the early morning of 7-8th September). It can be availiable tommorrow? [00:07:46] since y'all, guys take 2 days [00:09:41] You didn't understand care about anything that people said to you before, I guess. [00:12:14] [1/2] Patience and consideration is appreciated for any request. [00:12:14] [2/2] In the end, just give it some time. [00:13:41] they will get to it when they can [00:14:08] I only wanted to make an Spanish version of my own wiki, to people who are NOT friends of the English language (I mean bad english users) [00:14:23] that will probably be declined [00:14:28] you can just use the translate extension [00:14:33] + css/formatting issue. [00:14:53] I only wanna be like Wikipedia [00:15:09] like the other languages link [00:15:47] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282132241148936234/image.png?ex=66de3e33&is=66dcecb3&hm=61af925009130e4c8cefec18d052a207eb42f0231b6a77361942a4b8eeea8428& [00:16:01] I don't know if you understand @princessellierose [00:16:27] I don’t mean to be rude, but shouldn’t you focus on adding content to your wiki before creating an entirely new site and translating it? [00:16:36] You've said that a few times. Everyone understands. [00:17:37] I was like focusing making the Main Page as Spanish Wikipedia for FurrNations, because the English Mainpage is a bit of replicating [00:17:48] due to the blank gaps between the tables [00:18:02] It seems like a lot of your wiki is just imported templates from Wikipedia with not much actual content [00:18:06] From what I’ve seen? [00:18:11] Creating a same wiki in many languages can be really hard. [00:18:20] ^ [00:18:24] that is what they are doing [00:18:46] I remember there was a steward report about their wiki in the past that covered that [00:19:36] My wikipedia is just like the wikipedia, but furries on historic facts, micronations, businesses... [00:19:50] not really needs to be irl related [00:19:58] Besides, the cost of maintain each one make this really difficult. I don't try to discourage. [00:20:41] true, with the spanish version, I have 3 wikis, counting also my ESC one [00:21:51] and I just am starting with the English FurrNations, to look like the Wikipedia homepage [00:22:15] below of Did you know... theres a whole white gap [00:22:26] between the featured list section [00:22:32] and the picture one [00:22:56] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282134040744296468/image.png?ex=66de3fe0&is=66dcee60&hm=9534cefd3957ba2cbeb0a2edc090d33f3ecd4e58d12f5c92db6567d67140645a& [00:23:08] I don't know if someone's noticed it [00:23:53] why do you have many apps pinned to ur taskbar [00:24:14] idk [00:24:26] also ROBLOX had. [00:24:37] 😔 [00:53:15] I mean idk about the gap [00:53:33] if you can send the page where it’s happening I can have a look [01:13:24] How do I add references and notes [01:14:44] If I'm not wrong, [01:14:45] says i need a template, or smth but which one? any tips? [01:15:02] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282147152985980928/image.png?ex=66de4c16&is=66dcfa96&hm=34304db49207beba9d38c18bc558cdacea3c6be370f23ee476e8558e80c48a57& [01:15:22] You havent created one. [01:15:36] How do you mean [01:16:06] It appears in red bc you did not created those templates yet. [01:16:38] Which templates do I need to add [01:16:58] there might be some on https://dev.miraheze.org [01:17:27] For references, try to add "" for now. [01:18:37] https://furrnations.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [01:18:46] the main page of my wiki [01:18:56] (sorry for some content there) [01:22:45] you don't need a template [01:23:02] if you put `` it will display the references on the page [03:19:05] You may need to enable the cite extension for the references tag to work [03:29:44] 99.9% sure that is implemented in cite [04:38:15] Yep yep [05:12:22] One observation of mine as someone who joined Miraheze this year but has close to 20 years of experience with Wikipedia is that "community portal" is not an intuitive name for what the page actually is [05:14:29] For us or for them? [05:14:41] the one on Miraheze [05:15:04] It used to be worse, it used to be the Community noticeboard [05:15:18] which wasn't really a noticeboard for notices to the community but more of a help desk [05:15:34] Wait so I thought you just called it that because that's what MediaWiki calls it by default [05:16:22] The community portal name was just imported from WikiTide because at WT, we wanted to have our own Community noticeboard-like page but we didn't want to outright copy the name and have it be a blatant rip-off [05:17:16] I didn't know MediaWiki had a community portal system message built-in [05:23:04] Thinking about the Community Portal's name and the effort to rename it, I'm kinda surprised that no one suggested "Community center" as an alternative [05:24:23] It's not really intuitive though [05:25:25] I think an idea we floated around at the time when we split the Stewards noticeboard into Steward requests was maybe creating a new "Help desk" page and splitting the community discussions part into a new "Community discussions" page [05:49:44] Harej is in the process of doing a larger audit of how Meta is organized (and proposing some new structuring), revisiting some assumptions on logical naming conventions would make decent sense as part of that work. [06:45:34] [1/2] Don’t know if this is the right place for this, but on meta the blocked IP thing is messed up [06:45:34] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282230332396929034/IMG_9188.png?ex=66de998d&is=66dd480d&hm=d9ebc62e0df2095967205d8f6668ac00aeffbee5b2c3004f81ee53cafb782d60& [06:48:15] you are trying to edit when logged in or unable to login? [06:48:46] Not logged in, it’s blocking Apple private relay [06:49:10] The table isn’t displaying properly [06:49:52] vpn et all ip are blocked on mira, idk what's the apple thingy [06:50:15] maybe it counts [06:50:23] Apple’s fancy whatchamacallit proxy I believe [06:50:28] https://support.apple.com/en-nz/102602. [06:50:42] well, that's it then [06:51:02] I’m talking about how the table isn’t working properly [06:51:15] ah [06:51:17] sorry [06:51:20] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282231783357812808/1282230332610969624remix-1725778275927.png?ex=66de9ae7&is=66dd4967&hm=18bc9baddd2346a0c5d7719219a2c77b05ca6d046707f5566371b91d99d62a41& [06:51:25] All good haha [07:04:25] DiscussionTools doesn't seems to work in talk pages [07:21:49] That's not expected [07:22:16] I may have Flow still enabled in my site? [07:23:36] DiscussionTools and Flow aren't compatible [07:23:48] You cant use both on the same page [07:32:20] mine still have Flow checked [07:32:53] You will need to disable flow on that page for discussion tools to work [07:33:01] They are fundamentally different concepts [07:33:45] Flow is deceprated by the way [07:41:27] A migration plan will be coming soon when we force you to move [07:41:31] @songngu.xyz [08:05:55] hey so I have an issue [08:06:14] I'm trying to upload a image file on my phone to my private wiki [08:06:41] but it keeps saying "Something went wrong" and gives me the "dimiss" and "try again" buttons [08:06:55] I've tried in like 3 times in the past 2 hours or so [08:06:55] on upload page? [08:06:59] yes [08:07:47] literally just something went wrong [08:07:50] [1/2] screenshot needed [08:07:51] [2/2] there has to be a warning or error message [08:07:54] have you got a screenshot? [08:08:22] yeah let me take one [08:08:26] i'll send it [08:09:08] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282251364784803992/chrome_screenshot_1725782934741.png?ex=66dead24&is=66dd5ba4&hm=a95fc8bf8f7a8cd71bbfd121a234195ffe61394d51d75258b9ca712518d2c064& [08:09:11] There [08:09:25] that's not upload page, you're doing this in editor [08:09:38] it says upload file [08:09:44] underneath the error [08:09:49] this is from within VE then [08:09:57] can you try directly from Special:Upload [08:10:04] looks like source editor [08:10:12] where is that? [08:10:25] exactly where I said [08:10:32] Citoid? [08:10:37] go to the page Special:Upload on your wiki [08:10:44] Citoid is long gone [08:10:45] [1/2] yeah, by upload page I meant that [08:10:45] [2/2] `.../wiki/Special:Upload` [08:10:49] you mean Parsoid i think [08:10:53] but kinda ye [08:10:56] oh that makes sense [08:11:02] ah, I mistook that [08:11:30] [1/2] when we say some page name we mean portion usually after /wiki/ in URL [08:11:30] [2/2] there's also a list of all special pages, link in the toolbar [08:14:32] frick yeah! [08:14:43] it finally worked! 😅 [08:14:49] it was my mistake [08:14:49] VE is dumb then [08:14:58] it was [ ] then [08:15:06] it was source editor [08:15:09] I changed it to _word_ [08:15:32] I used to upload files from editor but files then end up being a mess, I now upload only from special page [08:15:46] since it lets you to add description and categories [08:15:48] ah okay [08:15:50] and license [08:15:57] VE shouldn't be giving unhelpful something went wrong [08:15:59] that makes sense [08:16:04] fr tho [08:16:04] when there's an actual error [08:16:08] yeah [08:16:10] that's just a terrible UX [08:16:22] what's UX? is it design flaw? [08:16:33] User eXpreience [08:16:34] user experience [08:16:37] i spelt that wrong [08:16:39] oh [08:23:53] okay [09:28:51] [1/2] sorry i forgot to check for responses [09:28:51] [2/2] but essentially im using a template page to log the raw templates for some pages, and i wanted an easier way to add them [09:30:21] https://pokemonunbound.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:RaidDrops here's the page i wanna add entries in [09:35:56] [1/3] I do have another question as well, though in quite a different branch: [09:35:56] [2/3] i've been using templates from bulbapedia for my wiki based on the last point, would I need to license it the same as theirs (2.5) or can i use the newer 4.0 noncommercial license? [09:35:57] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282273207495430156/image.png?ex=66dec17c&is=66dd6ffc&hm=99e4e956087af04e7718d7069a8aa25a16220ae5cd3dbdbd56f0daf5f44f53a4& [09:39:55] ruby.raven: re bulbapedia licensing: i think you'll just need an attribution template, kinda like [[w:Template:En-WP attribution notice]] [09:39:55] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:En-WP_attribution_notice [09:40:25] hey so how do you upload a video to your private wiki? [09:40:28] [[:w:Template:En-WP attribution notice]] [09:40:28] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/:w:Template:En-WP_attribution_notice [09:40:29] [09:41:12] no I downloaded the video [09:41:19] cosmicvin.: pretty sure you should be able to upload it? [09:41:20] i want to upload it [09:41:26] but how? [09:41:36] Same way as you did your image [09:41:38] Sorry, that link was related to a different conversation hahaha [09:41:49] ah okay [09:41:56] you'll need to enable the file extension first [09:42:01] see File Extensions ($wgFileExtensions) in Special:ManageWiki/settings [09:42:07] ok [09:42:44] my question is more about the license version though [09:43:04] less about how to implement it on relevant pages [09:43:18] I believe it would be best to use the license they provide? [09:43:32] [1/2] something with [[mw:Extension:InputBox]]? i havent used it myself but this looks like what u want [09:43:32] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox [09:43:33] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282275120018358292/image.png?ex=66dec344&is=66dd71c4&hm=ffdcfb59e89b252a0a6f67ac10dad5376932a562b484a651d65bdd171a8a5665& [09:43:33] [09:44:07] ill check it out and report back in a bit :DD thanks [09:51:44] [1/3] first check file extension settings as Eclair said, video formats should be allowed [09:51:44] [2/3] second, you need to enable TimedMediaHandler extension, to be able to watch videos on wiki [09:51:44] [3/3] then you just upload videos like images, all files are uploaded on wiki the same way [09:52:28] it's not letting me upload the mp4 and I already enabled the extensions and added all the video file formats and music formats possible [09:52:36] oh let me get that [09:53:15] [1/2] bear in mind that videos should not break copyright etc [09:53:15] [2/2] if video exists on youtube or other video hosting, you can embed them w/ links, that needs different extensions [09:53:15] I already added that [09:53:20] I just checked [09:53:34] ah okay, I don't think it exists on Youtube [09:53:55] [1/2] give it some time to start working [09:53:55] [2/2] and try w/ Special:Upload [09:54:04] okay [09:54:09] I'll try tha [09:58:38] It worked!! fricking yes! I didn't even know you could add Videos or Music to a Miraheze wiki!! (I am kinda surprised ngl, but to fair, my first (dead rn) website had those features too.) [09:59:17] you can even upload .c files on miraheze wikis lol [10:21:34] \ [10:22:02] the thing about Miraheze it's offering a lot of features, much more than other hostings, but it also gives an option to use or not use most of them [10:22:30] Fandom or wiki.gg have less features and are very restricted about them [10:22:47] so you just gotta know what you need [11:01:41] I noticed that Cosmos does have its own ThemeDesigner [11:01:59] But I can't give myself the permission to use it [11:02:44] it conflicts with managewiki im told [11:02:47] [1/2] "You don't have the rights to use Cosmos ThemeDesigner" [11:02:47] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282295063183101962/s.png?ex=66ded5d6&is=66dd8456&hm=b76f55d2efdb660a53743f4c92d848a5a0de3c710a1d70461b8d9f07166d6e4b& [11:02:55] wait it was?

[11:07:30] kind of [11:07:56] lemme try to find it i forget where i put it [11:11:08] [1/2] ah yeah this https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Canadabonk/CosmosTweaks-editor.js [11:11:08] [2/2] needs cosmostweaks tho bc all its doing is yoinking the colors from the variables in the css and also changing the colors of variables [11:20:36] Can anyone guide me to how can set an automatic message in any page by clicking a button it redirects to a page wiht automatic text how can I set that. [11:23:00] [1/2] do you have an example of what you're trying to get? [11:23:00] [2/2] I don't think I get what you mean [11:26:13] Will we set it up as Gadget or just my local code? [11:27:20] u can just import it to personal js [11:28:06] cool [11:31:52] Just for my interest, is there a trick to prevent FUSE when using the gadget? [11:32:04] (Flash of unstyled elements) [11:32:33] [1/2] Like in this page https://cricketnepal.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Protectedinterface when I click Submit an edit request and it redirects me to MediaWiki talk:Protectedinterface (new section) how could setup a custom message already there like here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_talk%3AProtectedinterface&preload=Template%3ASu [11:32:33] [2/2] bmit+an+edit+request%2Fpreload&action=edit§ion=new&editintro=Template%3AEdit+protected%2Feditintro&preloadtitle=Protected+edit+request+on+3+September+2024&preloadparams%5B%5D=edit+fully-protected&preloadparams%5B%5D=MediaWiki%3AProtectedinterface [11:34:00] It uses something known as `preload`, which can be used to load the template you wanted into the editing interface [11:34:39] I think InputBox does something like that [11:35:47] not really any more than the default cosmos, i think default cosmos just does that, the gadget css sometimes loads even before the base cosmos css [11:35:53] inputbox does yes [11:36:31] Ok can you clarify litle bit more so I can get some idea [11:37:19] So basically you will have an inputbox configured to preload a boilerplate template whiles at the same time, redirect you to the talk pagee to create new section [11:38:14] This is an example of an boilerplate like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Submit_an_edit_request/preload&action=edit [11:40:11] Ok firstly I should enable extension InputBox right [11:40:45] go to `Special:ManageWiki/extensions` for that [11:40:57] [1/2] this might assist you [11:40:57] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282304669418520657/3.png?ex=66dedec9&is=66dd8d49&hm=19346313354c4f3b0f06af7457688c375901df68e6e6f459ca1eaec64f16e522& [11:40:59] I've done this now after this [11:43:31] [1/9] ``` [11:43:31] [2/9] [11:43:31] [3/9] type=comment [11:43:31] [4/9] preload= [11:43:32] [5/9] hidden=yes [11:43:32] [6/9] default={{TALKPAGENAME}} [11:43:32] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:TALKPAGENAME [11:43:32] [7/9] buttonlabel=Request an edit in the talk page [11:43:33] [8/9] /inputbox [11:43:33] [9/9] ``` [11:43:53] Where to add this. [11:44:11] Where you want the button there [11:45:13] No no I wan to set a custom mesage inside a page [11:45:52] Look basically after clciking Submit an edit request then I want a automatic message there. [11:46:15] I don't want this button it's getting confusing actually for ,e [11:50:44] How can I set an automatic message there after clicking on the button how??

[11:54:47] Ok [11:56:41] [1/6] Actually I want this message after clicking on Submit an edit request [11:56:41] [2/6] {{edit fully-protected|MediaWiki:Protectedinterface|answered=no}} [11:56:41] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:edit_fully-protected [11:56:41] [3/6] {{subst:trim|1= [11:56:42] [4/6] [11:56:42] [5/6] [11:56:42] [6/6] }}  [11:57:12] just put that on that page then [11:58:15] Ok [11:59:00] Someone can review my request? [11:59:07] today [11:59:32] itll get reviewed when it gets reviewed [11:59:41] you keeping asking won't make queue go faster [12:00:05] idc [12:00:13] it's just hyped [12:00:27] then why wiki reviewers care? [12:00:42] it's just fucking hype [12:00:47] for the damn wiki [12:01:09] it's becoming spammy [12:03:33] Not working huh frustrating [12:04:12] It wont get the Wiki approved any quicker. Best thing to do is open a notepad and start working on your pages. [12:04:39] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282310631126470738/image.png?ex=66dee456&is=66dd92d6&hm=181e8261b51f84b9f586eaab15d46949173e646c20051616b7a7249d91700774& [12:04:47] If you are asked to expand on the wikis scope when asked, you'll at least have a better understanding of the articles your wiki will have. [12:05:57] And how you'll think this will work to my desire on recreating Spanish Wikipedia Main Page for FurrNations (ES) [12:06:25] huh? [12:06:59] I wanna launch the wiki today [12:07:22] Could you not preview the translations on their wiki, and then save it in a notepad 🤷 feels pretty obvious to me. [12:08:00] the translation widget didn't like how it look [12:08:10] I wanna make it as Wikipedia [12:08:34] when you select the link [12:08:58] [1/2] with that function [12:08:58] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282311717891604531/image.png?ex=66dee559&is=66dd93d9&hm=74763b41cb98e53094513d6eaf79fc9b5de7c83a7d6031b570ff7c2054c588db& [12:09:26] and says suggested languages [12:09:31] and that sh*t [12:09:48] understand now? [12:10:56] You can explain it to me all you'd like, but it's not gonna be approved quicker. I'm trying to offer a suggestion so you can get to work on something today while its still in the approval process. If you don't want to do that, then idk what to tell you. [12:11:46] well I ain't try to wait. Not offense [12:12:22] Doesn't sound like you have a lot of options. [12:12:24] The translation widget suck ass. [12:12:48] at least for me doesn't look fine to my wiki [12:14:53] it's not bad trying up to do as Wikipedia [12:14:58] separated wikis [12:15:11] for each language [12:15:42] No, but you have to realize the mods will do something about the spamming at some point. So you just need to relax. It's why I suggest working in a notepad until its approved. [12:16:07] bruh [12:17:00] I'll stay spamming. [12:17:20] If I won't reviewed, i am cancelling the request [12:17:36] and keeping the ENG FN [12:17:47] Miraheze, y'all win [12:34:04] I only wished have a place for my nation, since there's not furry worldbuilding wikis (except mines) [12:37:07] 😔 [12:38:05] nvm... [12:38:38] How would take? In a thread, of this server I read up of 1-2 days [12:39:01] @Discord Moderators surely it's going a bit far now [12:39:26] but probably will take mostly up 3 days now [12:39:54] It will get reviewed when theres time, we are all volunteers, please be patient. [12:40:00] Now please drop it. [12:41:46] If Fandom let you customize the skins, like Miraheze do. I won't mind off moving Fandom, but their skin is sucking ass. [12:42:03] doesn't fit for the wiki style I am doing [12:43:44] Don't offense, cosmos users. [12:44:21] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282320622290206731/1024px-Cosmos_skin.png?ex=66deeda4&is=66dd9c24&hm=d1376aef58f0055817191636ea4c44b32a36aadd4164518c0db51648f8c6c177& [12:44:30] This doesn't fit my wiki [12:44:31] Then dont use the skin. [12:44:37] Problem solved. [12:45:40] That's easy to say, but that skin in Fandom is as default, not chance to change the skin that you like [12:46:04] Your message reads like you're on about Cosmos. [12:46:20] that's how it's called [12:46:26] So then dont use it? [12:46:30] (not officially @ Fandom) [12:46:34] Nobody is forcing you to use Cosmow [12:47:15] Didn't understood the lead paragraph? no [12:47:35] I mean, if Fandom let you customize your wiki as Miraheze [12:47:40] I would use it [12:47:43] Ok [12:48:42] You get a lot more freedom for customization on Miraheze. [12:48:56] [1/2] but Fandom has only this style only as skin (also Miraheze, but the difference has more skins, has too). [12:48:56] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282321777514647563/1024px-Cosmos_skin.png?ex=66deeeb8&is=66dd9d38&hm=00a861c10c0ddbd7436182207dca02a02b468ebc3c6023141de07406787e1dd8& [12:49:10] true, fandom, has only a skin [12:49:21] Bro it's not that hard to wait a few days [12:53:42] Do you say by yourself, that aren't you a ADHD/Autistic person. (Sorry by adding this fact about me to comparing you) [12:54:07] Hi, ADHD person here. You can wait. [12:54:58] that response lmfao [12:55:51] I can be impatient, but I usually express it in a few lines and then do something else :p [12:56:51] and that work? [12:57:47] It should. [12:57:55] https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-general-kenobi-gif-18841535 [13:00:16] okay, then... [13:02:33] Maybe that's all? [13:02:45] Sorry, as I read now it seems more complicated to me. [13:25:51] Hello 👋 [13:26:14] Does anyone know how to contact the Fanonpedia administrators? [13:26:35] URL? [13:27:22] I meant is there any website where you can write to them/are there any active administrators there at all? [13:28:14] https://fanonpedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [13:28:23] Check Special:ListAdmins, look at contributions and use their talk page [13:28:26] Or EmailUser [13:29:27] Thanks [13:29:37] This Fanonpedia looks weird at first look [13:30:27] Users have weird permissions and there are no project pages [13:39:21] I will edit there! [15:27:06] Hey, is there a bot or smth that runs a list of pages through archive.org so I don't have to run all the pages I want through manually? [15:28:57] Hm? [15:30:13] My wiki is about a fanfic, and there's a lot of chapters of this fic, so I was wondering if there was a way I could get a bot to archive each chapter for me. saves me time, as archiving pages makes myc omputer run slower, so I can't do as much while a page is being archived [15:31:11] It archives as a whole [15:31:58] How do I do that? [15:32:35] u could download as pdf and archive the pdf lol [15:33:02] That doesn't sound faster than archiving the chapters [15:34:05] i mean where is the fic [15:34:20] if its ao3 u can view all the chapters in one go and archive that [15:37:13] Ooh, that's a really good point (it is AO3). Thanks! [18:11:41] And um, cosmos search bar don't seems to provide search suggestions [18:39:28] 😅 i think thats my bad i made the search bar overflow hiddened in cosmostweaks ill fix it one sec [21:11:02] [1/3] Hello people who are good at regex, I have two questions: [21:11:03] [2/3] 1. how do you get good at regex? Is there a course somewhere or something? I wanna understand how this stuff works! [21:11:03] [3/3] 2. I want to insert the same piece of text on a bunch of pages, right before the categories. Is there a regex I can use to add the text right before the categories? [21:11:27] (if you were wondering, yes, the text in question is the archived link) [21:11:43] 1. step 1: google regex cheatsheet step 2: google regex checker step 3: fuck around and find out [21:12:06] Thanks [21:13:13] flog it [21:13:19] are the category links always in a consistent spot in the wikitext of the page or do u just mean "insert at the end of the page" [21:14:04] [1/2] 1b: you don’t [21:14:05] [2/2] 1c: ChatGPT [21:15:02] not sure - I use visual edit for the categories, so they're wherever that puts them. Like, they are always the last thing on the page [21:15:47] but other people do, so, there must be a way! (and I'm abstaining from ChatGPT for moral reasons) [21:15:54] right so probably u just need "insert at the end of the page" which masseditregex tells u how [21:16:26] I tried that - prev showed it would insert the text as a category [21:16:31] hang on, I'll send a screenshot [21:17:22] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282449726494609550/image.png?ex=66df65e1&is=66de1461&hm=454b75a0497c9979232d4658dac61c8116c6fa7a5f636886551d1995ad12d409& [21:17:43] category links can be anywhere in the wikitext of the page itll always show the categories at the bottom of the page [21:18:31] So, the preview thing is lying to me? Cool! I'll submit that then, thanks! [21:18:41] oh, not submit, 'execute' [21:18:42] that's the word [21:19:33] [1/2] well yes and no [21:19:33] [2/2] the position of the bottom category bar has nothing to do with where the [[Category links are [21:20:23] [1/3] oh. then I don't know what a category link is [21:20:23] [2/3] Also, it only kind of worked ): [21:20:24] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282450486351495198/image.png?ex=66df6696&is=66de1516&hm=a9e756c3bc7bf6ac1aaab02f78b75e79ce9bb449c7386325cacc6cb9bce89e75& [21:20:50] it put the first word of the bit I wanted to insert on each page inside the previous link ): [21:20:58] [1/2] hm [21:20:59] [2/2] u did it to just one page i hope? [21:21:28] [1/2] add `\n` at the start of ur replace paragraph, that adds a linebreak [21:21:28] [2/2] so like `\nDue to the...` [21:21:40] no, 16😭 [21:21:41] fair [21:22:07] gotcha, will do. Now I just need to figure out how to undo a massedit [21:22:59] ah, I see, it's done by a bot [21:23:04] okay yeah, I can fix this [21:23:17] wait. shit. there's no undo button [21:23:25] means I gotta undo each one individually [21:26:28] [1/2] if ur feeling bold u could possibly regex to fix it [21:26:29] [2/2] replace `]]Due` with `]]\n\nDue` [21:27:10] [1/2] ooh. Ooooh [21:27:11] [2/2] Okay, I'll try that! I'm a little scared as regex is not my friend tonight, but I'll try it [21:27:36] oh wait except - the link isn't a #[[# [21:27:49] like, I just copy and pasted the link in [21:28:10] The source doesn't say there's a '[[' there [21:28:12] well no but the problem is with the Due kissing right up on the category close brackets [21:28:20] u can see if u edit it in source [21:28:33] Ah, right, gotcha. I'll try it then [21:29:00] she didn't like it ): [21:29:02] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282452666345062461/image.png?ex=66df689e&is=66de171e&hm=6c91d87f6adbd415d3c565b1304a730cad1f9185a77d3123cecf2e852e2b5e35& [21:29:18] oh wait [21:29:22] nvm I did a typo [21:30:10] nope, she still doesn't like it [21:31:56] hm. u got the /slashes/ at the start and end? try `/\]\]Due/` ? [21:33:59] Edit failed. [21:34:02] didn't work [21:34:32] mysterious [21:34:39] It's fine, I'll just do this batch manually [21:34:41] Do you even need the / at the start and end [21:35:05] [1/2] its really adamant about it may as well [21:35:05] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282454187082514503/image.png?ex=66df6a09&is=66de1889&hm=ac867cf1e75bedd7acd9c22d81a0dbd6bb70a477b909a23dc3f671a6c54fdb2a& [21:35:15] after this I've got three more series to go, each series with it's own link, so I'll try those as mass with the /n thing [21:35:45] `\n\n`, so that it actually makes a new paragraph [21:36:29] Thanks for all the help! [21:50:36] @canyada are you sure it should have both \n's? the preview thingy says that would type one \n, suggesting that the first one is all that's needed for the new paragraph. Just don't want to have to correct all those pages again! [21:56:31] [1/4] \n adds a line break, and in the sourc editor 2 line breaks make a new paragraph [21:56:31] [2/4] ``` [21:56:31] [3/4] paragraph 1 [21:56:31] [4/4] paragraph 2``` if theres only 1 line break, itll combine both the paragraphs onto the same line [21:57:10] Gotcha [21:58:28] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1282460070919278794/image.png?ex=66df6f83&is=66de1e03&hm=2013dbc4b2396f601d4df5262d3bc7230e98cafbe044e3acf33c4bfcd333e8c4& [21:58:30] arghhh [21:59:12] (it's fine, this one's easier to remove, I'm just tired and annoyed that regex isn't really easy and nice to me) [22:01:32] apparently, it's not easier to remove. shoot. [22:01:58] [1/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Requests_for_global_permissions#c-Xaloria-20240902125800-Abstain_5 [22:01:59] [2/2] bruh someone used GPT to respond in an RfGP [22:03:12] [1/2] im sort of curious what u put for the regex exactly [22:03:12] [2/2] also u gotta gotta preview it first and also maybe just for now do it to only 1 page at first 😭 [22:05:04] [1/2] I put '\n Due' for the 'find' and 'Due' for the replace. [22:05:05] [2/2] It's okay, it just said edit failed, but I'll do that next time [22:07:13] for the find it might be trying to find "linebreak Due" bc thats what \n is as is, try finding "\\n Due"? (the first slash escapes the 2nd slash and tells it to treat it as text as is) (i hope) [22:08:12] [1/2] arghhh [22:08:12] [2/2] So, should I try for "\n\nDue" and replace with "\nDue"? [22:08:39] wait it ate the first slash [22:08:49] `\\n Due` [22:08:56] fucking discord dont eat my slashes [22:09:15] For the find, you mean? [22:09:24] yeah for the find [22:10:12] [1/2] Like this?

What is the form that I should fill out in order to get 301s handles on the server? [22:11:14] search for `/\\n Due/` ? [22:12:46] regex likes it!!! [22:13:33] [1/2] omgomgomg thank you!!! [22:13:34] [2/2] When I do the next chapters, should I do replace for "\\n Due" or "\n Due"? [22:14:26] i think discord ate some slashes [22:15:25] discord hungy [22:15:29] Never mind. Found it. [22:15:45] [1/2] did replacing with `\n\nDue to...` really put that `\n` as text there? im kinda baffled how [22:15:45] [2/2] did u have spaces between them? that might have been why although i cant see how [22:16:19] It did - I did before the 'Due', but not between the two '\n''s [22:18:42] [1/2] huh i guess it really does get mad at 2 \n in a row [22:18:42] [2/2] try with a space between the \n? `\n \n` [22:28:44] the preview says it will literally write the two /n's like that, and given the preview was right last time, I'm nervous [22:29:00] did u use the right slash [22:29:34] oops [22:29:53] It's late and I'm sick and I also am Jared 19 who never learned how ot read 😭 [22:30:16] oh yayyy that looks good - lemme try it out!
