[00:03:43] nah [00:04:10] there’s a specific padding incurred on [[mh:meta:chinafakewiki:Home]] [00:04:10] https://mh.wikipedia.org/wiki/meta:chinafakewiki:Home [00:04:11] [00:04:41] [[mh:chinafake:Home]] [00:04:41] https://mh.wikipedia.org/wiki/chinafake:Home [00:04:42] [00:04:46] there we go [00:08:51] [1/3] still feel like thats kinda where the problem is coming from [00:08:51] [2/3] bc normally the margin of 2

s kinda combine into each other so if theyre both 10px margin, (example numbers) it looks like theres a 10px gap between them and not a 20px gap [00:08:52] [3/3] but now the table separates the 2

s so both the 10pxs are counted separately and it becomes 20px [00:41:26] [1/2] Hey, sorry for asking stupid questions, but I even tried searching the discord for answers. I've toggled on Cosmon in the extensions, but it's not appearing in my dropdown to select as a skin in the styling tab. [00:41:26] [2/2] Do you know if there's a delay, or if I'm doing something else silly that's causing Cosmos to not show up? [00:42:09] u might just have to wait a few minutes [00:44:58] always give it a bit when its a managewiki change [00:50:10] Thank you both, it just popped up! Seems like it took about 20 minutes or so. [00:50:54] Actually probably a bit longer, since I started searching for answers 20 minutes ago haha [00:57:17] odd [00:57:20] ah [00:57:37] so I put the table in a div(?) [00:57:59] put the switch of the motd template itself in a div [01:58:35] ah [01:58:38] ok, will do [02:17:12] [1/2] I was sick for 2 days and couldn't handle it... it would increase so much... 💀 [02:17:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285424287909548063/image.png?ex=66ea3828&is=66e8e6a8&hm=7ab83cdba0ea4b9bc5698d4154d98d200b9f08bb1b75e59b4d95a8aa8eda2b3f& [02:17:26] ❤️ [02:17:37] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285424390338514945/image0.png?ex=66ea3840&is=66e8e6c0&hm=140ee3f89226ccfe5ec638cd65b3bdd2cc63b68c04a1106f9b49ecd03fff694c& [02:17:45] Wiki request log by beloved [02:18:16] If you do 1, it multiplies [02:21:40] Wiki creation queue is something I was considering doing but translations are not done (yet) [02:25:40] [1/3] Hi, [02:25:41] [2/3] I just noticed my user page on meta is not automatically synced with my global userpage from Login Wiki. I guess it's because I made my user page on meta before making a global user page. [02:25:41] [3/3] Is there a way I can delete my meta local user page so that it will sync with my global page? [02:26:12] just paste `{{delete|use global user page` on your meta wiki user page [02:27:21] Thanks! [02:28:53] If you volunteered as wiki creator, I think you'd do an excellent job [02:29:45] Wiki creator and Steward are two things I am probably not going to volunteer for any time soon. [02:31:50] Steward would be a while away [02:32:05] but wiki creator is a good short-term prospect I'm sure no one would oppose you for [02:34:04] SRE is something that I think will make better use of my time in terms of benefit to Miraheze and WikiTide Foundation [02:36:25] Or just doing Meta-related work [02:37:00] SRE? What's that? Never heard of it \:P [02:37:08] lol [02:37:17] Technology, formerly SRE [03:08:41] @agentisai [03:08:53] i heard you were kicking around [03:09:13] nice to see you [03:13:34] I'm scared now [03:13:38] Good to see you [03:13:53] WHY [03:14:02] You scare me [03:14:04] did I leave an impression of animosity [03:14:16] what happened man [03:14:23] No [03:14:25] I'm just naturally scared \:P [03:14:37] you of all people telling me that? [03:14:44] c'mon [03:14:46] what's up [03:14:59] you can DM me if you need [03:15:23] good to see you're commandeering PBW and PCB still [03:15:41] you left PBW in a bit of a scare back there lol [03:15:54] can't believe you're calling me scary [03:16:17] I don't think PBW was ever in any real state of danger [03:16:22] Everything sort of just continued as it was [03:16:40] there were a lotta unknowns [03:16:46] some unknowns still actually [03:16:57] as far as I know our domains are coming out of your wallet [03:17:11] The domains should be good until 2025 I think [03:17:27] care to message me before they're up? [03:17:38] i can take care of it after that [03:18:04] also. would you like to get reinvolved with either of those communities at all? [04:51:39] Agent can attest, I definitely sent a message or two their way saying 'holy cow I'd never want to be in the steward hot seat' [04:52:40] And yet, now I'm both steward and board member. The volunteer hooks, they can get in you. [05:39:25] so I’ve got a thing using dplforum [05:40:11] whenever I click any link to another forum or post it takes me to /wiki/Forum:Whatever?t= [05:40:36] also it shows the default Miraheze favicon in that namespace for whatever reason [05:42:21] which is also not the greatest for SEO [05:42:44] as you might be able to imagine, especially since the timestamp is changing constantly [08:33:33] [1/2] How do I add quotes?

Wanted to have it separated like the ImportJS, if not no big deal I will have it just part of Common.CSS [08:56:52] Which page is this from? [08:57:48] Special:TrackingCategories [09:01:12] u could @import it i guess? like `@import url('Mediawiki:Something.css');` on common.css [09:02:02] So I add the Fonts on Something.css and just reference it on Common.css ? [09:02:12] yea [09:02:20] Sounds perfect, thx Canada ! 🙂 [09:02:37] Here's a hug for you [09:02:41] https://tenor.com/view/hug-gif-15819456627234943636 [09:07:14] that's a template, code it the use [09:09:59] [1/2] I did that on Fandom if I used like 3 fonts, and they were in a scary barrage of symbols instead of proper font file lol [09:09:59] [2/2] I'd say if you use local font files or import from another place, then it's more compact to just keep in Common.css [09:11:08] [1/3] I import it from a website but I wanted to have it separate to keep easier to read and edit for me, it's mainly for mental load. [09:11:09] [2/3] Oh and it worked perfectly, thx again.

[09:53:01] How do I get a static version of an image [09:53:04] Like how do I do it myself [09:54:05] go to file page right click copy image link [09:55:51] [1/2] ?

(someone who knows more abt this pls correct me) [10:01:51] yeah p sure img_auth.php always works if it's public [10:03:10] https://rainverse.wiki/w/img_auth.php/a/a3/Rain_birthday_cake.png [10:10:24] No I think what I'm doing requires a static image [10:10:32] what are u doing [10:11:11] are you working w/ css? [10:11:40] because that and wiki settings are the only thing you'd need static image [10:12:40] Yeah thats why I'm just asking how to get the static version of the image [10:13:02] yeah the img_auth.php one is the exact same thing as the static link just for private wikis [10:13:23] bc it has to img auth so that only ppl who are allowed can see the image [10:13:24] private wikis are build different [10:13:39] I thought I set it to public [10:13:48] check the core settings [10:13:59] the img auth link while the wiki is public functions as a static link [10:14:45] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285544466811457567/Screenshot_20240917_171436_Chrome.jpg?ex=66eaa815&is=66e95695&hm=311dc09aa7c9318be3764b974a17d19d6c1c30b0c11d15e013a126a51ca2506b& [10:15:54] what are you doing exactly [10:16:00] [1/2] did u try using the img auth url and it didnt work [10:16:01] [2/2] if ur working w a border image far bigger possibility for something not working is u messed up the border image syntax [10:16:31] I got the "quote" template from the pizza tower wiki and I'm trying to replace the box [10:16:35] please don't tell me you are copying pizza tower wiki css [10:16:38] LOL [10:16:41] LOL [10:16:53] Maybe rather then laughing, help? 💀 [10:17:08] I worked on it [10:17:09] well im telling u ur problem isnt with the image link, the image link works perfectly fine [10:17:13] it's scary lol [10:17:25] most likely code error [10:17:34] It says the image link is bad [10:17:38] Or something [10:17:40] One s3c [10:17:41] Sec [10:18:25] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285545388832456775/image0.jpg?ex=66eaa8f0&is=66e95770&hm=54bbac372ca175a7367a100f807d12e22eeb55522c27b50d02d5e4b791628a6c& [10:20:16] Hello?

[10:25:16] quotation marks around the link part, like `url("https://......")` [10:25:28] Ooooh [10:25:36] > [17/09/2024 20:11] because that and wiki settings are the only thing you'd need static image [10:25:45] honestly, the "must be static" thing is a bit of an oversimplification [10:25:56] ive never had it get mad at me for not having quotation marks, is this templatestyles? [10:26:11] good enough for 90% of cases, but if you really want the proper answer: the values should be a url that is allowed by csp [10:26:19] so yes, even a cdn.discordapp.com url works [10:26:30] (for a week lmao) [10:26:30] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285547423262834779/Screenshot_20240917_172615_Chrome.jpg?ex=66eaaad6&is=66e95956&hm=8c78e8ef14edc2b809fd43c030c19bcf25a3ab9b3bd9d8904d2886d4503e468e& [10:26:38] but it does work [10:27:00] does templatestyles get mad at url()......? [10:27:24] worst case just put it in common.css [10:27:25] That would be weird [10:27:33] it checks the url [10:27:46] I don't remember TS bring salty about that [10:27:50] *being [10:28:05] maybe enable TS extender just in case [10:28:12] https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/blob/915c9873b6faf6f6c1d5bd89c48fd216012262af/LocalSettings.php#L5564-L5568 [10:28:30] Whats this [10:28:36] Alr [10:28:42] the regex for allowed urls in templatestyles [10:29:02] templatestyles checks if the url is static.miraheze specifically apparently [10:29:15] what a hardass [10:29:33] Nope, still nothing [10:30:14] perhaps we could add a <(?:https:)?//${HOSTNAME_BUT_ESCAPED_DOTS}/w/img_auth\.php/> exception [10:30:20] [1/2] https://static.miraheze.org/firstcommandmwentwikiwiki/e/eb/Mis-Quote.png [10:30:21] [2/2] well heres ur static url [10:30:23] (oops, forgot leading ^) [10:31:21] I'm not sure how to use it [10:31:28] Oh ty! [10:31:44] tempette: ah, i'm just thinking on how to allow img_auth.php urls in templatestyles [10:31:56] this will require a server-side change, but for now the static url should get the job done [10:34:03] Eclair is just thinking out loud [10:34:46] not every part of the convo might be applicable to your question [10:34:51] Oh [10:35:38] yeah pretty much ^^; [10:36:41] [1/2] OKAY ITS WORKING!!!!

I would like to be able to use these in my wiki. What do i need to do exactly? [12:32:26] Don’t import directly from [[Wikipedia]], see if [[dev:]] has an mbox version [12:32:26] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Wikipedia https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/dev: [12:32:27] [1/2] [12:32:27] [2/2] [12:36:40] Now i have something to work with, thanks! 😄 [12:37:16] almost any template on wikipedia can be simplified [12:37:38] wikipedia is too huge and varied, so they need very complex templates [12:38:07] thus we advice to not look at them too much [12:42:11] Fandom's templates are simpler [12:42:26] Nontheless i had absolutely no idea how to proceed with this at all, and i was searching for a long time and.... well now that the other link was thrown i did it in 5 fucking minutes. [12:43:37] Althought it doesnt look like a box for some reason xD [12:45:44] You may need to import the css as well [12:45:56] How do i do that? [13:00:06] (Found out, and it works!!!) [13:46:42] Is it true that WMF stewards are forced into their positions? /s [13:48:59] Shhhhh [13:52:41] :DoneMH: Done :) [13:55:48] [1/2] oh yea did I tell you about the keyboard I use for editing miraheze meta [13:55:48] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285600090009894943/P_20230316_144727.png?ex=66eadbe2&is=66e98a62&hm=15302fddc7652a44866482ce0fa11a6b5adc4aced2e976b69f50a6524552b22a& [13:58:34] Why [13:59:55] [1/2] how do you send a link of Special:ExpandTemplate with pre-inputted wikitext? so i can just easily share it here [13:59:55] [2/2] i'm trying to divide some column %s but i...am stumped [14:02:57] heh yes, I remember pushing you towards stewardship but you didn't want to accept \:P [14:04:52] Got it, a steward is elected by consensus and violently forced into submission [14:05:19] sort of how Speakers of the House of Commons were in the middle ages, yes [14:12:43] Being in the house of commons is mandatory, since MP's did not want to travel (we did not have motor vehicles and railways back then) [15:07:51] They still drag the speaker to the chair now. It's ceremonial though now. [15:28:18] UK parliament is something I find beyond amusing, especially the Denis Skinner and John Bercow moments [15:28:53] It can be amusing [15:30:27] remember when Betty Boothroyd scolded a MP for stuttering too much [15:31:04] Not sure I've seen that one [15:32:15] https://youtu.be/QMkgw-WYrVg?feature=shared&t=7 [15:32:37] Will look in a bit [15:32:39] On the train [15:54:22] [1/2] Idk where is the background, it's just orange [15:54:23] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285629935725314099/Screenshot_20240917_225334_Chrome.jpg?ex=66eaf7ae&is=66e9a62e&hm=6b688faa38710b1f86c68a05be4933461edbf4a905fbbf94ba2413ca836f52a6& [15:54:33] It's supposed to have a background imags [15:54:49] @CSS/JS Support Volunteers ^ [16:17:22] Are there any good video guides available on how to make ur wiki look better? [16:20:40] video guides are usually at YouTube. You can try searching for some [16:24:50] what skin are you using? [16:25:04] you can send a link if you #verify [16:26:15] [1/2] Already did and found absolutely nothing helpful about miraheze 😂 [16:26:15] [2/2] Looks like a neeche [16:26:51] [1/3] Standard? [16:26:51] [2/3] Idk skins have been way over my head [16:26:51] [3/3] I tried to find some but didnt find them either ._. [16:28:01] mediawiki coding and stuff is a rather niche thing [16:28:08] there are plenty of text guides [16:28:33] since like, the whole thing is textual [16:29:07] half of the time you can learn by looking at other wikis [16:30:04] Should I be having to re-login on every wiki now (after signing into meta)? [16:30:07] [1/2] where you tried to find? [16:30:08] [2/2] check what's available on Miraheze itself, in extensions admin menu [16:30:38] I.e., Was that an intentional change? [16:30:51] it happens if you visit new wiki, since your account isn't attached to user table yet [16:31:06] [1/2] I tried clicking through the skin menus [16:31:06] [2/2] But got completely lost ._. [16:31:18] Huh, I seem to recall long ago that it auto-added you when you visited their wiki. [16:31:19] gotta login over there and next visit you won't log out [16:31:35] Oh, I'm having to log in every time regardless. [16:31:54] yeah there was some change but also central auth getting worse at its job [16:33:08] Ah, yeah, seems to not be working as intended rn. Yesterday I logged into meta, told it to remember me, visited a new site, logged in there, told it to remember me. Today I log into meta, and it's asking me to log into wikis again that I've already logged into before. 🤷‍♀️ [16:33:32] Like my credentials never carry over or something. [16:33:50] And, on non-english wikis I can't log in at all in FF, only in Chrome. [16:33:54] [1/4] where exactly you got lost? [16:33:55] [2/4] by clicking on skin name you'll get to mediawiki page which has a screenshot of the skin [16:33:55] [3/4] for example, you liked Cosmos - in that Skins tab on your wiki check the box for it and save [16:33:55] [4/4] then, go to Additional settings menu, Styling tab - the first setting is default skin, where you should choose Cosmos and then save [16:34:24] I thought I had found an old fix for the FF issue, but today it's not working again. [16:34:32] [1/2] In that case i was on the wrong site [16:34:32] [2/2] I never saw any screenshots [16:34:32] [1/2] the same mediawiki code and principles are valid for a generic mediawiki wiki and for a Miraheze wiki. Miraheze is just a farm. [16:34:33] [2/2] If you want guides for mediawiki to look better, the things are skins and HTML / CSS [16:35:27] [1/2] On non-English wikis, in FF I now just get an endless loop of this: [16:35:27] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285640271199207547/Image_1209.jpg?ex=66eb014e&is=66e9afce&hm=123111ee4dc8afa46ffdafd1c5ee6a3f46e5e0c9d26c4e6cecfc502fbd36b2c7& [16:35:44] Doesn't matter how many times I resubmit [16:35:58] It's just not logging me into non-English ones in FF, period. [16:39:41] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285641336220811387/Screenrecorder-2024-09-17-19-35-56-4070.mp4?ex=66eb024c&is=66e9b0cc&hm=eb0a67aad5a94c6f3d3beb50ab08a8989e88c9d96e8216a2d5342571427c8239& [16:40:55] not recorded - going to Additional settings part, Styling tab, choosing and saving Cosmos as default skin [16:42:34] [1/2] the thing about Miraheze is that all those extensions are already installed, admins just have to enable or disable what they want [16:42:34] [2/2] mediawiki.org has documentations how extensions work and must be used, you just ignore the installation part [16:42:47] [1/2] softcell wiki skin is called "Timeless". [16:42:47] [2/2] that one is found on: [16:42:59] I'm going to assume the login issue on non-English wikis is related to the other issues that these wikis are suffering. [16:43:41] note that Timeless is a skin which is hard coded and not visible in extensions menu, it's just already in Styling tab [16:44:42] [1/2] Do you think the login issue is related to "pages appear empty and the history page is not updated" are related? [16:44:43] [2/2] Then, i think that's more important then. WakiWaki already put that issue in importance high [16:45:39] No idea. Hopefully the login issue gets resolved when the other stuff does. 🤷‍♀️ [16:45:51] I hate chrome but I can wait, lol. [16:47:05] I wouldn't give up too soon. Yes it's niche, and there's a lot to learn as Legroom said, but it can be incredibly rewarding if you take the time to learn it. [16:47:18] Fun, too! [16:48:57] Thanks for the encouragement:) [16:49:13] [1/3] @emel07 , you can find skin selection for Miraheze on: `Special:ManageWiki/extensions#mw-section-skins` [16:49:13] [2/3] for example on yourcreatures wiki is on: [16:49:14] [3/3] [16:49:21] And how did u got to that page from the main wiki page? ._. [16:49:33] admin sidebar? [16:49:54] Consider me a idiot [16:49:55] are you on phone perhaps? because default mobile skin is hiding that sidebar [16:50:15] No im just a complete newby [16:50:21] just paste: `Special:ManageWiki/extensions#mw-section-skins` as the title of the page in your URL if you don't see the button, and you go to that page from everywhere [16:51:14] is there a hamburger button in the left top corner flr you? [16:52:13] Yes [16:52:21] The honeycomb thing [16:52:32] I wouldn’t call it a hamburger [16:52:57] it's the 3 horizontal lines thingy [16:54:00] or it's just left sidebar for you right now? [16:54:02] This > ≡ [16:54:09] [1/2] Will be right with u [16:54:09] [2/2] My pc just gave up 😂 [16:54:35] and I'm on phone lol [16:56:20] [1/2] found the burger [16:56:20] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285645525781184619/image.png?ex=66eb0633&is=66e9b4b3&hm=7aefcb0cb5ef35d17694c0bc5ae99e0765f4baa6ace9402e78ff12ad8b1855e2& [16:57:26] it takes me to the watchlist? [16:59:59] @theoneandonlylegroom [17:00:30] That Burger ≡, when on Phone, goes to the sidebar [17:00:37] Ah [17:00:41] What u want is under Tools [17:00:42] damn you vector 2022 [17:00:53] yeah, it's on the left side ....... [17:01:03] when all other skins have that on the left [17:01:12] is there something newer? or something older thats better? [17:01:24] [1/2] the part related with "Adminsitration" is only visible to people with admin rights. It looks like this. [17:01:24] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285646803466846330/image.png?ex=66eb0764&is=66e9b5e4&hm=d618a1056fff9eed1848c01a5079c78643c02833e7957fb2c9139b6bb235aaa0& [17:01:33] vector 2022 is the skin you have now, it's current default [17:02:06] this is the admin menu, what Avengium posted [17:02:13] [1/2] i was at the wikis core settings page [17:02:13] [2/2] and got lost there [17:02:31] you need to go to Extensions first [17:02:41] there will be skins tab [17:02:49] aha [17:02:58] [1/2] any recommendations [17:02:59] [2/2] for a gaming wiki? [17:04:01] [1/3] I dunno [17:04:02] [2/3] the most popular skin is legacy Vector, it's straight up in Settings [17:04:02] [3/3] Cosmos (a la old Wikia) and Timeless (another one right in settings) [17:04:18] are other popular options [17:05:46] [1/2] I suggest taking a look at other gaming wikis [17:05:47] [2/2] As for my two, they're both timeless because it's my favourite skin, and is extremely customisable (though i definitely dont show it to its fullest extent) [17:06:24] [1/4] either im blind or i dont have that [17:06:24] [2/4] when i created the wiki there was something about special skins that i have request first [17:06:24] [3/4] are these one of those? [17:06:25] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285648059656699987/image.png?ex=66eb088f&is=66e9b70f&hm=095c297203dcc6b2d087b7fdd204102ca6a0bae0235fb26c07e48e3ff543f926& [17:06:43] you don't have to request anything [17:06:47] as I said before [17:06:52] everything is already here [17:07:00] you just switch on/off what you want [17:07:20] [1/2] if you need examples of skins [17:07:20] [2/2] Rain World Wiki is legacy Vector [17:07:42] rainworld.miraheze.org [17:08:01] my wiki, softcell.miraheze.org, is slightly modified Timeless [17:08:36] If u want to change the skin, you do it in Additional Settings [17:08:55] what I said before [17:09:22] mb i didnt saw that [17:17:07] [1/2] if you don't want to mess around with WP templates you can always half-ass a wikitable and it'll look sort of okay 👍 [17:17:07] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285650756824862740/Untitled.png?ex=66eb0b12&is=66e9b992&hm=20cdf01520b4ff8f8e7492c7cce46f865901131afad0c4662197d325dcb6bc36& [17:29:29] [1/4] i have no idea what WP means [17:29:29] [2/4] but under ur definition i already half-assed my whole wiki [17:29:30] [3/4] and i dont mind that xd [17:29:30] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1285653870269304854/image.png?ex=66eb0df8&is=66e9bc78&hm=da0fabcf400014706f21070ed9e7ee086ff65868a3fa6b7cf0c29648fed5dd0b& [17:31:00] WP = Wikipedia [17:31:18] ahh, I thought we were talking Wookipedia ... [17:31:25] [1/2] WP is Wikipedia [17:31:26] [2/2] Wikipedia's templates are notoriously complicated [17:31:48] Im quite happy with my tabels [17:32:09] v22... [17:32:34] oop yes, I did mean Wikipedia, I've added it in my original message to clarify. I also don't mind half-assed tables, they can also get the job done! [17:32:53] Step 1 for a new wiki, is to add the information you need. Step 2 is to make it look pretty. [17:33:01] [1/2] Its just hard to move things [17:33:01] [2/2] Like pictures or tabels around [17:33:05] Agree [17:33:21] the worst decision the people behind mediawiki made in the last few years is making v22 default [17:33:27] especially for logged out users [17:34:13] w3schools is good for small CSS. So if you want something a little more complex you can always use that when researching [17:35:30] WP templates are confusing because they use Lua 5.1 which is almost twenty years old [17:36:08] yeah I see them moving towards that more recently with flag templates, rather than just have it function on its own. [17:36:28] i wish they'd use a newer version but like [17:36:44] it's sort of how things like hospitals and banks can't update their decade+ old systems [17:36:57] you'd have to shut the entire website down for weeks [17:37:16] and especially if they want to make mediawiki itself not use 5.1, that would break anything using it [17:37:34] I've seen that with message boards, where they switch over to a newer system and lose all the BBcode. [17:38:14] the least they can do is make v22 opt in again and not default [17:38:24] or at least make v22 not fixed width [17:38:49] unlikely to happen but i can dream [17:39:40] You can disable fixed width though [17:40:32] yeah i just hate the default way it is [17:41:09] biggest gripe is the double sidebars and all of the dropdowns being on the right side as a big list [17:41:29] even disabling fixed width isn't enough because they still take up a quarter of the page if i do [17:41:50] yeah, it lowkey feels like ... fandom desktop ... [17:42:19] the reason I decided to try Miraheze is Cosmos lol [17:42:24] that and i have so much stuff in my dropdowns that them being in the sidebar means i have to scroll. which defeats the purpose of getting rid of the dropdowns [17:42:30] joined for Cosmos, stayed for Timeless [17:43:32] i guess it can always be worse (new monobook) [17:43:50] there's new monobook? [17:44:00] well not new [17:44:08] it's not really new anymore [17:44:18] ah, minerva is universally hated lol [17:44:23] it used to be good.. [17:44:45] i am still a vector legacy purist though [17:47:27] i wonder which of my gadgets will just natively work on here and which i will have to learn to do without [18:06:41] Agree that Minerva is usually hated by everyone. And the Mobile phone extension associated with Minerva skin [19:23:59] How to I change a image file name [19:24:08] I'm at the file page tbh [19:24:35] move the file page, no? [19:25:13] The special file page [19:25:20] For the image [19:25:30] To a different name [19:25:38] action is called Move [19:25:41] to rename [19:25:45] don't ask why [19:26:04] Okay thanks [19:26:21] meanwhile in Russian: Rename [19:26:32] well its called move and not rename because you're not renaming the page [19:26:41] you literally move it to the new name [19:26:49] and it leaves a redirect behind to the new page [19:26:54] Okay [19:27:05] I take the redirects away tho [19:27:11] you also can [19:27:23] so like vector-2022 [19:27:31] for files there's usually not a reason to leave a redirect [19:27:32] ? [19:36:43] Thanks [20:02:18] Learn to use basic Mediawiki stuffs, it applies to all wikis using that software including Miraheze [20:03:46] After you learn how to handle basic Mediawiki, get extensions for your special needs [20:04:22] is there a less tedious path than PI when it comes to getting infoboxes that dev/meta doesnt provide [20:04:25] such as officeholder [20:05:11] If a specific box doesn’t exist you’ll need to define its fields yourself [20:05:26] In my opinion PI’s builder is the easier [20:05:36] But we also have a base template for infoboxes on dev [20:05:44] that could help maybe [20:06:08] wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_officeholder [20:06:15] this one in particular [20:06:26] [[dev:Template:Infobox]] I think [20:06:26] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/dev:Template:Infobox [20:06:27] [20:06:44] ohhh awesome [20:06:53] thank you [21:00:47] Can I have some help with something? [21:01:07] ask [21:01:40] I would like to delete a blank page. How can I do that? [21:02:09] are you an admin? you should have Delete option in page tools/more dropdown [21:02:17] I'm not [21:02:18] on that page [21:02:36] I can "purge it" bit idk what else [21:03:03] [1/2] well, then you can't [21:03:03] [2/2] you might ask an admin to do that, or mark it for deletion, if the wiki has a template for that [21:03:20] How do I ask an admin [21:04:06] click on admin's username and you'll get to their user page, there should be "Talk (page)" tab [21:04:22] it's like a subpage for comments [21:04:41] the wiki may have a {{delete}} template, you could put that on the page and preview it to see [21:04:41] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:delete [21:04:42] [21:04:47] if not then you'll need to reach out [21:05:05] knowing which wiki it is may help get you a more direct contact [21:05:10] Liek an admin of the wiki? [21:05:16] yes [21:05:25] Oh ok I know a few of those [23:37:10] [1/2] it seems like I'm not able to remove some user groups that I should be able to, it gives me this error message when I try to remove all of the permissions from the group: [23:37:10] [2/2] ```The following errors occurred:
You cannot create a group without any permissions assigned.``` [23:37:28] and some other user groups just have no permissions assigned and I'm unable to delete those as well [23:39:58] should I make a phorge task for this since this has always been an issue on my wiki that I know wasn't an issue a while ago [23:43:30] why does it do
[23:43:31] that's weird [23:43:48] yeah it always does that in the error messages for some reason lol [23:44:02] well it's weird it's even showing line breaks [23:44:10] but the fact it's doing
and not
[23:52:34]
is a common invocation, I guess it was assumed to be valid in a scenario where the html was filtered out [23:54:16] apparently
and
are both valid [23:54:19] more you know [23:57:47]
is an xhtml/xml thing [23:58:09] which is obscure enough and a bit of a failed web concept that I see no reason to go on a spree to use it instead of ole
