[01:28:21] I have a few small problems at present, but I am unsure what to do in the meantime. [01:28:36] hm? [01:29:04] [1/3] #Can no longer create templates? [01:29:04] [2/3] #Info box struggles :( [01:29:05] [3/3] #How to enable Extension:NewUserMessage? [01:30:27] do we have [[mw:Extension:NewUserMessage]] installed [01:30:27] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NewUserMessage [01:30:45] for infoboxes, see [[Infoboxes]] on meta If you havent [01:30:45] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Infoboxes [01:36:15] Yes, NewUserMessage is enabled. [01:38:41] [1/2] The thread is a misnomer now; I have another, smaller concern. [01:38:42] [2/2] And for the infoboxes: I understand the issue, but I have somehow lost the ability to create templates. [05:22:00] The CSS parser function (Extension:CSS) is not working for some reason; CSS should work with page and correct page name is used, but the style is not loading for some reason [05:24:18] so uh [05:24:32] is it not delivering updates/accessing wiki pages? [05:24:35] or like [05:24:55] do you want the bot to actually do things on the wiki like edit pages and the like [05:34:14] yeah, CSS extension got stricter, my condolences [05:34:48] I can only suggest TemplateStyles + TemplateStylesExtender; can be set up to non-template pages in namespace settings [05:36:19] Alright, thank you for the heads up [05:37:00] I'm not sure if CSS parser code rewrite would help, I haven't looked into it myself [05:37:03] yet [05:37:16] I mostly use TS [05:39:38] extension:css was always a hassle to work with, esp. with intollerance to url function (even with urls associated with miraheze), so this whole thing coming up is just [05:39:47] more frustration [05:41:05] iirc I think that was actually a bug [05:42:01] what was bug [05:42:04] it not handling url() in the past? [05:42:19] it used the built-in css sanitizer in mw core, so that's actually intentional behavior [05:44:17] can we have a "what bugs has Claire fixed this week?" newsletter [05:44:25] too many things to keep up on [05:44:54] https://blankeclair.github.io/security_trinklets.html [05:44:55] lol [05:44:58] if you want i can make it an rss feed [05:45:46] every time i lay my eyes on a new piece of software, this happens: https://files.catbox.moe/d8m4ty.png [05:46:54] TIL you go by she/her [05:47:10] now you know :p [05:49:53] yup [07:21:47] Guys, is it normal for Wikibot to not show New Pages in the Recent Changes Feed? [09:35:05] can i make my page background appear differently with a different namespace [09:39:23] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1291540824521179136/1291775353890799658 [09:39:44] thank you [09:54:25] [1/2] Woo!!

[14:57:54] [Template]/styles.css [14:58:02] assuming template styles or something extension was enable [14:58:16] Thanks [15:05:19] how would i stop every image in the wiki from getting inverted in dark mode? [15:22:36] there are snippets fixing dark mode somewhere on dev wiki [15:26:10] Does anyone know why my uploaded pictures to the main page of my wiki aren't displayed until I log in? [15:26:26] Im worried that when someone tries to enter the page without an account, it'll look like a broken page to them [15:26:35] Cache most likely [15:26:46] Or your wiki is private [15:27:04] Oh, that affects it? [15:27:18] Shoot [15:27:34] How would I transition it from a private to public wiki then? [15:28:25] It's a setting in the "Manage this wiki's core settings" [15:30:59] Gotcha [15:30:59] Thanks for the help! [15:38:18] [15:42:31] Thank you [16:09:40] guys where can I search for wikis? [16:11:50] there's no search of Miraheze wikis but there's [[Special:WikiDiscover]] [16:11:50] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:WikiDiscover [16:11:53] [17:08:26] Searching ā€œ wiki mirahezeā€ canā€™t hurt [17:10:19] only result is this one user page saying they where gonna make one [17:10:27] idk how to se eif they actualyl did tho [18:03:15] Check their central Auth for wikis where they have an account attached [18:06:30] Sorry wdym? [18:14:17] Go to [[Special:CentralAuth]] and enter their username [18:14:17] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth [18:14:17] [18:17:18] Are you able to reveal what wiki you're trying to look for? [18:31:19] Countryballs Europe 1890 [18:31:28] there was a fandom wiki [18:31:34] wondering if there's another one [18:32:30] dang blocked for `substantial violations of account policy for ban evasion/vandalism, hostile actions against other users` [18:32:56] rip them ig [18:33:54] Yeesh [18:34:01] yeah don't think they ever made that wiki [18:34:20] ig there is the other game from the developer [18:35:06] Do you know if the people working behind the fandom wiki reacted to the closure of it? [18:35:22] no clue, just know I used to be a beuro [18:35:34] on some acocunt that's probs been deleted by now [18:35:42] did that to like all my acocunts [18:36:14] just checked it 2day and it was deleted [18:36:23] and couldn't download files as extracting was too much memory [18:36:43] seems unrealistic so maybe some large level trolling happened idk [18:57:37] okay so.......... kindaaa wanna change the wiki scope again [18:57:49] in my defence this tiem i actually have a wik ifile thingy [19:28:06] [1/3] Hi everyone, german PhD Student and Knowledge Community NPO founder here, looking for the right place to "get in touch". Via https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Contact_us / https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help_center, Discord felt like the right place. What is the right place to talk to "the miraheze project"? I know, it feels like asking to talk to "The wikipedia", where I could con [19:28:06] [2/3] tect the WMF or WMDE in my case. [19:28:07] [3/3] TL;DR: Whom do I contact to have a chat about Miraheze? [19:28:47] It is [19:28:51] šŸ‘€ [19:34:25] [1/4] Alright, cutting it short: [19:34:25] [2/4] In short, we would like to create an index for ā€œfreelyā€ accessible videos (including YouTube, etc.) that communicate education and science there. The aim is to connect the creators and communities there moderately to the ā€œactually freeā€ knowledge, see Wikipedia, and to simplify the way there. [19:34:25] [3/4] We have been experimenting directly with the technology stack provided by the WMF for about 2 years, currently focusing on the first MediaWiki experiments, probably extended by Semantic Mediawiki, as was recommended to us in discussions with the WPDE community and will be discussed at the MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference in Vienna. [19:34:26] [4/4] Right now, we're roughtly at the end of the first experimentation phase, and would start on an actual demonstrator soon. Just having learned about Wikibase and Miraheze makes me feel like we might wanna stick around a little longer in experimentation phase. [19:35:13] I wouldn't want to use Wikibase & Semantic MediaWiki together [19:35:30] _likes the sound of experimentation and technology demonstrator_ [19:36:28] Feedback greatly appreciated, comments exactly like those are what I'm currently searching for šŸ™‚ [19:37:42] I mean you clearly have a formulated concept but I think you probably want to play a bit with the concept of what wiki stuff you want first before you call it a demonstrator [19:37:49] The idea sounds pretty smart though [19:38:00] Structured media [19:38:22] I wonder if the structured data for commons team would have ideas [19:38:41] May I post 2 pictures here? [19:40:15] Sure [19:40:55] [1/4] That's the current concept as a 2-pager. [19:40:55] [2/4] Within the next 6 month, we aim to puzzle all current developments into one demonstrator and see how far we are already, and what gaps (in our understanding or technology) are still wide open [19:40:56] [3/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1295471419685077072/image.png?ex=670ec547&is=670d73c7&hm=b10cd3a83571550897861fcb87d3e80d88d9e4920fa4cd4251b034f21ac3eaba& [19:40:56] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1295471420133998652/image.png?ex=670ec547&is=670d73c7&hm=cf8f5f0a0a75a71a8ecbce9c4d283d223a8c3e9d366e90753622deaa9d08c6c7& [19:43:09] I really like the idea [19:43:21] Semantic MediaWiki or Wikibase would work [19:43:40] @theresnotime or @urbanecm who owns structured data? [19:44:51] Took me ages to find https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Readers/Structured_Content [19:44:54] I'm just a regular user but maybe make this into thread (here or in support) to not lost it? [19:45:22] But that has no contact link [19:47:33] @Wiki Creators: I assume you guys would be happy with a wiki to do ^ on the understanding they are testing concepts to aim to have a demonstrator. Or maybe even multiple wikis to try different approaches? [19:59:49] [1/2] Really appreciating all the input, pings and help. Feel free to structure this request / topic however you see fit, as a thread etc. [19:59:50] [2/2] I'll gladly wake up tomorrow and provide any further information I can, alongside soaking up all the new knowledge for us to get this project running šŸ™‚ [20:02:09] Feel free to create a thread in #support [20:02:15] I will happily geek out [20:02:28] You can also email rhinosf1[at]wikitide.org [20:03:05] We could make a thread here as well [20:03:24] Do it [20:29:35] you found it? [20:30:04] How do you contact them though [20:30:25] As far as adherence to content policy/spirit of approvable wiki projects goes, the thing as described by @borgnetzwerk seems pretty clearly in-bounds to me. [20:31:49] Where we may run into trouble is if the wikis end up demanding an extremely outsized amount of storage/compute to the detriment of our ability to provide stable hosting. The demonstration slides don't suggest a problem to me, but I only took a very cursory look. [20:32:20] [1/2] > No active login attempt is in progress for your session. [20:32:20] [2/2] repeatedly when trying to log in, which is fun. [20:32:33] I think if it stays at TRL 3-5 it should be fine [20:32:40] depends on the reason, a phab task is probably a good first step (or a talk page message) [20:32:40] TRL 6 should be too [20:33:22] I think anything beyond a demonstrator we could see what hosting is suitable [20:33:56] I think it's suitable to take it from TRL 2-6 inclusive with us [20:33:58] [1/2] Hello, could I ask a quick question? [20:33:58] [2/2] how long does it usually take for the steward mail to be read? [20:34:06] From a resource perspective [20:34:11] a quick message to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:CParle_(WMF) even [20:34:14] sorry for the very sudden interjection btw [20:34:16] @Stewards [20:34:22] @borgnetzwerk [20:34:43] @notaracham am I talking nonsense talking TRLs or? [20:35:29] I am going to download CentralAuth onto an cassette tape and smash it into powder [20:35:59] Please add that to quips [20:36:00] Don't have bandwidth to think that through, today is slammed for me, but others might. [20:36:18] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_readiness_level#Definitions [20:36:21] Feel free to [[User:BlankEclair/Quips [20:36:27] Oops [20:36:48] I want a shower though [20:36:57] Also I am not going to be able to make a PR for readding citoid [20:37:01] Puppet is Greek to me [20:37:11] I did find the commit though that added it [20:37:40] You're doing well if it looks like a language tbh [20:37:48] Puppet is ye [20:37:49] Yeah, in short, we can work as a proving ground for initial concepts/demonstration, but we aren't a suitable host as a permanent infrastructure for the production version, if I understand this to be what I think it is. [20:37:58] Now thatā€™s a quip [20:38:02] only on Firefox, greattt [20:38:42] Again, my eyes are need elsewhere, so maybe a Q for dtech? [20:38:50] https://bash.toolforge.org/quip/o7E1w3IBLkHzneNNCXWA, https://bash.toolforge.org/quip/tjq1jXUBgTbpqNOmZ-m4, https://bash.toolforge.org/quip/AWfMzwcZfM03vZ1omSOA, https://bash.toolforge.org/quip/AU_3cMwj1oXzWjit5obk [20:39:04] It's just been 10 days, so I thought I should atleast ask [20:39:11] Ye that bit is techy if you're happy from a content policy side [20:39:15] thank you, btw [20:39:29] We'll address things as we can, I don't see any major missed comms, so please feel free to resend/reply to bump it. [20:40:01] I've been nerd sniped tbh so you can tell me to shut up and focus [20:40:18] done [20:40:59] It's safe, because this is all a pretty secluded corner of the internet, but I thought it wise to fix the whole 'visible and easily identified ip' issue [20:41:06] At some point [20:41:15] Yeah, don't see anything matching this request, so seems like it may have failed to send/gotten stuck in spam [20:41:20] Will address [20:41:30] thank you very much šŸ™‚ [20:42:09] Confirmed spam filtering, so whitelisted in case another request comes up [20:51:31] having re-read all their messages again, it seems they don't need to talk to wmf and want to talk to miraheze instead (: [20:51:50] (this would be an odd place to come to want to talk to the wmf anyways..) [20:53:06] [1/2] Yeah my general read/classification of this is: [20:53:06] [2/2] * We would like a wiki to act as a relational tool [20:53:33] Ye I want to see if structured data have thoughts / opinions [20:53:39] I'm all about talking to people [20:53:47] And collaboration [20:53:53] And sharing technical expertise [20:54:08] seems they're going to the MediaWiki conf, so that'd be the best place to find folx to talk to šŸ™‚ [20:54:23] Fair [20:54:42] My motto is normally that it can't hurt to ask [20:54:58] Every so often collaboration leads to genius ideas developing [20:55:43] It's why I like hackathons @theresnotime, all the genius is in one room [20:55:47] And we work together [20:55:55] And come up with a bunch of crazy ideas [20:56:06] oh for sure ^^ [20:56:10] And you might be able to pull bits from everything and create an even crazier idea [20:56:20] just don't like putting colleagues on the spot :p [20:56:40] More can come out of a week long hackathon than 6 months of normal work [20:57:07] The pace; excitement, skill and determination at our work hackathon is is unreal [20:57:30] If we could turn that into a normal 30 hour week like even half a year we'd do a hundred times the work [20:57:32] wellll, Wikimedia Hackathon next year šŸ˜„ [20:58:14] Announce a location and date then [20:58:38] hehehh I know >:3c [20:58:46] It's probably going to be wrong time for me though [20:58:49] Final year of uni [20:59:57] Wikimania 2026 is a shout though, just across the channel on Eurostar @theresnotime [21:00:16] where's '26 ? [21:00:20] Paris [21:00:27] oh! [21:00:27] I can do that in 3 trains [21:00:31] that'll be about Ā£3000 a ticket, please. [21:00:42] Portsmouth - Three Bridges - St Pancras - Paris [21:01:00] It's not that bad. It's expensive but not that much. [21:02:30] @theresnotime you should hold me to Wikimania 2026 [21:02:47] And maybe a hackathon soon too [21:03:07] You should not be in the tip of the south west where it takes forever to reach you [21:03:42] I'm in Eastbourne :p [21:03:59] Or all the silly [21:04:04] Same here [21:04:04] :nffsLurk: I wish I lived that close to a tennis tournament [21:04:56] [1/2] The all day hack event for WMNYC, Kunal was gonna work on a broken fragment redirect finder tool and the consensus was to name is BARF. [21:04:56] [2/2] Wiki folk are fun [21:05:15] Since when [21:05:30] eh two years or so [21:05:31] :p [21:05:59] I missed that completely @theresnotime [21:06:04] I thought you were Cornwall [21:06:17] Why have I lived on the south coast for 2 years and not met you [21:06:22] These English namesā€¦ [21:07:39] :p [21:07:55] @theresnotime I'm like an hour and half from you [21:08:23] huh TIL! [21:08:23] You're on the coast way train line [21:08:32] But everything splits at Brighton [21:08:50] You're closer to Brighton than me cause the coast way is slow as shit [21:09:03] But ye you can drive to me in like 90 minutes [21:09:27] next London meetup or something then! [21:09:34] (if we still do that...) [21:10:35] There is still a London Meetup [21:10:46] I've been saying I'd go to them for ages [21:10:52] I should get myself to one [21:11:14] Looks like they active yea [21:12:36] @pixldev ye I need to get off my arse one Sunday and go [21:13:23] I saw a banner with a funky cake on day in January and since then I attend every wiki event I can [21:13:31] Whatā€™s your excuse [21:16:05] Global renamer is still a group huh [21:28:34] What I'm confused by is how it got created, as every RfC I can find about it failed. [21:29:54] Bleeeh, CentralNotice doesnā€™t support targeting user rights [21:31:36] Actually it looks like they donā€™t? [21:31:41] I donā€™t see them in the list [21:31:47] But the perm error said they o [21:31:51] Que [21:32:22] notaracham: pixldev: https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/pull/5207 [21:32:39] this is where it was added, and it contains the reasoning [21:33:13] Thatā€™s actually a good idea [21:33:23] And makes sense I didnā€™t see it [21:33:28] Was looking for a global group [21:44:25] @notaracham you should remember this, I conferred with you on its creation \:P [22:06:13] Completely voided from memory, but the logic makes sense and today-me agrees with it [22:32:15] interesting [22:55:36] Iā€™ve never used Miraheze before. My wiki just opened. Iā€™m trying to use templates Iā€™ve found, but every time I paste them into the page the page just has text that links to the template instead of showing the template in action. Please help? [22:58:58] Wiki links are done using [[double square]] brackets. To insert a template, use {{double curly brackets}} [22:58:58] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:double_curly_brackets https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/double_square [22:58:58] [22:58:58] [23:01:41] Yes, Iā€™ve done that, however, itā€™s still linking to the template even when I use {{double curly brackets}}. [23:01:41] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:double_curly_brackets [23:03:52] Oh is it ref [23:04:04] Then the template doesnā€™t exist [23:10:46] How is it linking to the template tho if the template doesnā€™t exist? Should I try remaking it uploading it then using it? [23:12:41] Because your asking mediawiki to transclude a template that doesn't exist [23:12:52] So it will just link the template instead as a red link [23:13:28] Ooookaaaaay so is there a way I can. Make it exist? [23:14:12] Create the template? [23:14:59] Maybe? Iā€™m sorry if im being stupid or annoying Iā€™m new to this [23:15:33] You can link to a page that dont exist [23:15:42] it shows as a redlink [23:16:19] To tell people hey the wiki could use an article on this do u wanna make it [23:16:31] Yes, so do I make a separate page with the template in it as a template so then thatā€™s the template? [23:18:11] a template is just any page in the template soace [23:18:19] [[mw:Help:Templates]] [23:18:19] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates [23:18:20]
