[00:03:47] google also prioritizes $wgAppleTouchIcon a bit more [00:03:51] so maybe set that as well [00:04:13] Didn't know that [00:04:15] Thank you [00:05:10] np! [00:05:11] :) [00:24:34] Helllo how can I add a logo that is shown in Main Pag of my wiki? [00:29:34] do you want to add a logo to the page content itself [00:29:45] or do you want to add a wiki logo [00:36:17] wiki logo [00:36:49] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/ManageWiki [00:37:00] Scroll down to "How do I change my logo/favicon?" [00:46:03] Is there a way to make CodeMirror be enabled by default for users on my wiki? I can't find a setting to do it on ManageWiki. [00:49:57] https://cricketnepal.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [00:50:05] Not working [01:00:37] how to fix "undocumented paramater" [01:00:50] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1290840885592064041/image.png?ex=66fdecc1&is=66fc9b41&hm=865f8d9de0bb9e18cc64cf32b0c04c3ceda23ee8ae2311d1b43634a9508fab65& [03:13:45] [1/2] I guess I been living under a rock for the past few months [03:13:46] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1290874339125628999/91357058035bb378.png?ex=66fe0be9&is=66fcba69&hm=97e989fa95ae308239af9da9e19c253056098e1a672b9ee941c0396ce3e221e6& [03:15:55] Meta translation: spend all the time on a policy page only for it to go out of date in a month [03:24:34] it's enabled by default for everyone, it just requires a click on marker in editor once [03:25:27] I mean, how do I make it so editors don't have to click on that marker? [03:25:49] [1/2] TemplateData extension, then, well, document them [03:25:50] [2/2] the point is to make template VisualEditor friendly [03:26:08] nvm I found out [03:26:12] like lomg ago [03:26:44] could update then to not make anyone to answee [03:29:03] [1/2] well, that's something I haven't seen addressed before [03:29:03] [2/2] idk if it's possible, I assume if tech member could help [03:33:06] The extension's page says I can add `$wgDefaultUserOptions['usecodemirror'] = true;` to LocalSettings.php, but on Miraheze I guess I'd have to use LocalWiki.php? Last time I went there though, the config turned out to be in ManageWiki so I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything. [03:42:54] not all settings are available in ManageWiki so everything else in php has to be addressed via [[Phorge]] [03:42:54] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Phorge [03:42:55]

[03:43:09] but like [03:43:27] you can check the file by yourself first [03:43:31] i've seen default user options set in LocalSettings.php actually [03:43:36] weird, i know [03:43:54] so it's always manual turn on in editor? [03:44:17] do you mean automatically turned on? [03:44:43] https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/blob/a2a2be3d66d5265d866ea49e2913dcc6ff610d2e/LocalSettings.php#L4683 [03:45:00] the extension itself is always enabled, but it requires icon click in source editor to start working [03:47:37] if you ever think you're useless, think about the post_vars column in this commit: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/ExternalData/+/a3c26b8603fa7c15e33716d4faa4574647162996%5E%21/ [03:49:34] [1/2] >line 4660 [03:49:34] [2/2] Kinda no wonder I never realized it was there... [Hehehe](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1265978176333680701.webp?size=48&quality=lossless&name=Hehehe) [03:49:42] ctrl+f? [03:50:11] I never thought about that too. [03:50:39] who merged this commit... [03:51:10] there's an undocumented url replacement, commented out debug prints, inconsistent spacing, and forgetting to use post_vars [04:07:19] so it can be requested? [04:08:06] uh, what are we talking about again? [04:08:24] i'm trying to wrap my head around mediawiki database schema changes, but i think i get it now [04:17:02] what do you think the default should be set for post_vars? [04:17:30] it's not even used [04:17:34] so why not drop the column [04:19:51] CodeMirror [04:19:56] yes but as a quick fix [04:20:10] drop the table, the code checks if it exists [04:20:17] if not, it doesn't use it [04:20:22] oh nice [04:20:27] do you want me to do that them [04:20:31] you could also drop the column, or set the default to anything [04:20:38] `DROP DATABASE mhglobal;`? [04:20:40] or even remove the NOT NULL requirement [04:20:43] I think that'll work [04:20:49] DROP TABLE rainversewiki.ed_url_cache; [04:48:37] yeah that would work'); DROP TABLE Messages [04:49:15] https://xkcd.com/327/ [08:39:35] hello as a person who has never used miraheze before can the layout of a wiki be changed to one similar to fandom's [08:40:49] The Cosmo skin is most similar to Fandom's current design and can be found in your wiki's skin settings [08:42:43] is there also like a theme designer.. ? [08:43:35] There was supposed to be an theme designer, but it doesn't work here as it conflict with ManageWiki [08:43:56] so how would i change the colors [08:45:27] Cosmos skins imitates old Wikia look and offers color and layout settings, admin has to access them via "Manage this wiki's additional settings" link in admin sidebar, "Styling" tab [08:48:27] [1/2] but first you need to enabled the skin (Manage this wiki's extensions > Skins) and set it as default (first setting in same Styling tab) [08:48:27] [2/2] I also would suggest to disable MobileFrontend extension, since Cosmos is mobile adaptive [10:10:39] [1/3] Hi, How can I managewiki so that when clicking on the main wiki logo, `$wgLogo` this logo takes you to different pages depending on which namespace the current page is in? [10:10:40] [2/3] I have different images for a logo depending on the namespace, but when clicking the logo, it returns to Main_page. [10:10:40] [3/3] Can i change the page that links with the logo if i use a different image on every namespace? [10:11:59] avengium: that's an interesting idea actually, would probably need a hook on your wiki though [10:13:11] Hi, the search bar on my wiki automatically forwards you to MainPage regardless of the page you are searching. Is this a common bug? [10:13:31] moing: no, can you give your wiki? [10:13:43] sure, it is asoiaf.miraheze.org [10:14:17] hmm skin bug i'm going to assume [10:14:55] (thinking out loud) when searching on the default skin, it goes to "https://asoiaf.miraheze.org/w/index.php?search=sleep&go=Git" interestingly [10:15:01] The original wiki that I am translating from uses the same skin but their search bar works, is there anything to solve this you think? [10:16:24] oh it seems like the search is broken on all languages :p [10:16:31] [1/2] logo is like always tied to whatever is set as MainPage [10:16:31] [2/2] I assume the solution will involve JS [10:17:28] my wiki is on english and search appears to be broken too, was the issue at least acknowledged? [10:17:36] i'm just looking into it [10:17:48] so this is a common bug on Tweeki currently? [10:17:50] looks like the destination url goes to the main page and not Special:Search [10:17:52] yes [10:18:23] It took me all day yesterday trying to figure out the problem [10:19:44] [1/2] Can i put links in Mediawiki:Common.js to try to do that? [10:19:44] [2/2] what do i have to write? [10:20:04] yeah you can [10:20:17] I don't know man, ain't JS savvy, but all JS has to be done on Common.js yeah [10:20:19] i personally would prefer the hook method, but if you want you could also do it via js [10:20:30] (should i add asterisks to your above statement?) [10:20:38] hook like? [10:20:43] mediawiki hooks? [10:20:57] https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks [10:21:21] Ok. I am going to read Manual:Hooks [10:21:38] is there a place to fix this? [10:22:01] so that it would go to Special:Search instead of main page [10:22:06] moing: the bug fix should be in the skin itself [10:22:09] i'm working on it actually [10:22:22] oh, okay [10:22:56] thank you, looking forward to your fix :pupCoffeeMH: [10:23:28] hmm... i think it may potentially be a bug with miraheze's setup? [10:24:03] like in ManageWiki? [10:24:13] close, but no [10:24:27] in https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config [10:24:53] interestingly, /w/index.php?search on my test mediawiki install does the search, but on miraheze it doesn't [10:25:04] guessing hyperactive seo optimisation [10:25:57] not an expert on any of these, sorry [10:26:03] it looks like a foreign language to me [10:26:14] oh okay [10:26:34] i believe the proper fix would be in miraheze-specific code instead of tweeki's [10:26:45] you think SEO causes this? [10:27:02] an seo optimisation, not seo itself [10:27:19] basically, /w/index.php?title=... would redirect you to /wiki/... [10:27:25] but it's being maladaptive here [10:28:32] where would that miraheze-specific code would be? [10:28:53] have you omitted `/wiki/` in URL by a chance? [10:29:20] in any of ManageWiki pages? not to my knowledge, no [10:29:30] theoneandonlylegroom: the url causing the redirect is created by tweeki [10:29:39] it's a restricted setting [10:30:01] I just created the wiki like two days ago [10:30:08] how skin can affect basic functionality ... [10:30:26] search bar points to /w/index.php?title=searchquery&go=Go [10:30:41] oops, i mean /w/index.php?search=searchquery&go=Go [10:30:52] miraheze adds a redirect to /wiki?search=searchquery&go=Go [10:31:03] which causes another redirect to /wiki/ [10:31:53] I don't want to interrupt the topic of fixing the skin to go to Special:Search instead of Special:MainPage but I would like to follow up on the hooks. How long do you think it will take to investigate the tweeki skin? [10:32:12] i have time blindness :p [10:32:30] ideally /w/index.php -> /wiki should never happen, but the last time i tried to tackle the auto-redirect (https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12214) it didn't work [10:32:38] so perhaps the /wiki -> /wiki/ redirect should keep the query parameters [10:32:58] how will I create a redirect for that? could you help me [10:33:13] requires code modification to miraheze-specific stuff ^^; [10:34:52] Is all in the backend. I think tech persons have to fix that, not local admins [10:35:00] yeah backend [10:35:08] i'm already eye-ing at the code [10:35:24] I think so too, one last question then. How can I contact the tech team [10:35:56] generally, to file issues, you'd go on phorge (see https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Phorge) [10:36:04] i actually just filed a task for this (https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12682) [10:36:38] oh thank you so much [10:36:52] sorry for taking up all your time [10:37:13] it's okay ^_^ [10:53:32] pull request (a request to change code) has been made, when that's merged (accepted), the redirect should no longer happen [10:54:15] though you might need to clear cache to make searching terms that you already searched working again because they were 301 redirects [10:54:47] avengium: investigation done (turns out it's not tweeki after all); do you want me to look into hooks? [10:58:14] Yes. I want to look into hooks, if you have free time [11:01:52] @blankEclair mention, Where should I write my hooks to work based on the namespace? [11:02:00] LocalWiki.php [11:02:25] I think as a local admin, i don't have access to php [11:02:52] you can make phorge tasks and/or pull requests to add it in [11:03:08] for example, our wiki has a hook to add witty quotes at the bottom [11:03:20] https://rainverse.wiki/wiki/Special:RecentChanges (all the way at the bottom) [11:03:31] That's a good idea. I will do a phorge task [11:03:46] https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/blob/a2a2be3d66d5265d866ea49e2913dcc6ff610d2e/LocalWiki.php#L605-L611 [11:03:54] alright, i might add the code in [11:14:24] [1/3] I made this phorge task, [11:14:24] [2/3] https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T12683 [11:14:24] [3/3] If you need me to explain the content better, let me know. [11:45:52] avengium: just fyi, i replied to the task [11:46:17] Thanks 😊 [12:31:07] @kiiyoko hi I saw your blocked message [12:31:23] Yes there is a way, you can request it on [[SR/RC]] [12:31:23] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SR/RC [12:31:24]

[12:39:41] hi, I'm trying edit the css so a different background appears in light mode vs dark mode [12:40:13] https://ufo50.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css [12:41:11] not sure what's wrong [12:58:09] solace9436: what is setting the classes? [12:58:21] oh citizen [12:59:09] @kiiyoko also #verify to post links lol [12:59:20] got it 🫡 [13:02:18] [1/2] I don't know what I'm doing with CSS [13:02:18] [2/2] if you could point me to where I could copy and paste code I think that would be the easiest way [13:02:27] oki [13:03:52] I would recommend gathering a basic understanding of it as copy and paste has a remarkable way of making things unmaintainable if you don't have the bare principles down [13:04:09] things change between versions, quick fixes could be applied but only if those principles are understood, and so forth [13:04:37] this is... becoming a more complicated problem than expected [13:04:45] oh wait i forgot that the images are dead [13:07:33] solace9436: what skins do you want it to be for? [13:10:11] citizen skin [13:11:02] https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/P523 [13:11:09] probably should put it in MediaWiki:Citizen.css though [13:13:36] thanks, it works! [13:14:40] you're welcome ^_^ [13:16:16] I should move it to Citizen.css so if I use a different skin, I could make changes for each skin? [13:16:45] yeah [13:16:49] each skin has its own CSS page yes [13:17:23] Common.css is a general, main CSS page which affects the wiki no matter which skin is used [13:18:08] [1/2] it's better to keep things like fonts or template styling in it [13:18:09] [2/2] skin related CSS better to keep in corresponding skin pahe [13:18:30] gotcha [13:52:23] Following up on this, created this oauth proposal https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:OAuthListConsumers/view/5b1ff1b1f5d6ea4fbf764452cdf4ff1e . @pixldev let me know if I need to fix anything on it [13:53:05] Did you make it as an owner only app [15:07:38] it worked! thank you so much [15:07:45] you're welcome ^_^ [15:10:07] Images I upload do not appear on the page for quite some time, do you think this is a cache problem or Miraheze? [15:10:54] example? [15:12:48] https://asoiaf.miraheze.org/wiki/Daemon_Targaryen this page again, I uploaded the infobox image and it doesnt show up [15:13:18] https://asoiaf.miraheze.org/wiki/Cerissa_Brax Also this one, I uploaded the coat-of-arms images but they don't show up either [15:13:25] and it has been nearly 2-3 hours [15:14:46] moing: seems like you have to manually purge the cache [15:15:26] could you direct me in that direction? [15:15:36] add ?action=purge to the end of the url [15:15:49] this might be a bug in PortableInfobox tbh [15:16:44] hmm nope [15:16:51] purge didn't work [15:16:54] oh? [15:17:13] nevermind im dumb [15:17:26] I typed ?purge=1 instead [15:17:32] the images showed up [15:17:38] oh lol :p [15:17:47] yep it all works [15:17:57] thank you so much again [15:18:03] loving Miraheze already [15:18:11] I'm glad I moved the wiki [15:18:51] you're welcome ^_^ [15:22:57] That one shouldn’t be owner only (the one under approval) [16:04:36] I'm loving Miraheze too. The volunteers and the community is awesome. People are so helpful [16:06:56] Glad to hear it ;) [16:09:34] Dyno stroked [16:09:39] If your message was just blocked [16:16:23] Say, I don't have any access to the delete function on my wiki anymore.

[16:42:13] Depends on the flavor. If you simply requested your account to be locked or reversibly vanished and had an email attached, you can email stewards@miraheze.org from the same email address attached to your account to reverse it. [16:42:28] If you requested a GDPR vanish from trust and safety, then no dice, you'll need to make a new account. [16:48:28]
