[03:31:30] What exactly are you looking to emulate? [03:31:56] this websites format, is that an what imported fandom looks like? [03:31:58] https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/LGBTQIA%2B_Wiki [03:32:57] The skin you mean? The general layout and look? [03:33:06] yes [03:33:12] This is the [[mw:Skin:Cosmos]] skin I think? [03:33:12] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Cosmos [03:33:13]

[03:33:27] With some custom CSS it seems [03:33:51] hell yeah, thank you [03:33:56] course [03:34:06] is there any way to emulate the css? if not its not the end of the world [03:34:08] glad i could be of assistance at 11:30 at night [03:34:29] yeah man 😭 us nocturnals dont play games [03:35:05] It’s pretty easy [03:35:09] I designed the theme [03:35:18] Everything you can tweak via Special:ManageWiki/settings [03:35:34] Its pretty rustic compared to something like Polandball Wiki [03:35:41] [[mh:polandball:]] [03:35:41] https://mh.wikipedia.org/wiki/polandball: [03:35:42]

[04:19:47] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298501098385965118/Screenshot_2024-10-22_211848.png?ex=6719cae2&is=67187962&hm=0083dea770b30e972b9f806dc5335144974c5e0aebf145fca138abbc55ec3d76& [04:19:47] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298501098620981289/Screenshot_2024-10-22_211854.png?ex=6719cae2&is=67187962&hm=be0ac929e741b7e16e9a7aae10d81a0dca7007e298adfea22cad162bbe3d05ba& [04:58:13] its probably a template [04:58:16] check that out [05:02:28] How do I make a template? [05:02:58] [1/2] You want to recreate that right [05:02:58] [2/2] To do so youd need to take a peek at the source code [05:03:16] open the pages source code and see where its coming from [05:05:51] [1/3] depends on what kind of infobox you are using [05:05:51] [2/3] infobox is a type of template, but there are 3 ways to code it [05:05:52] [3/3] [[Infoboxes]] [05:05:52] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Infoboxes [05:05:52]

[05:06:27] other kinds of templates can be used inside infobox [05:07:09] I urge all beginner admins to learn wiki text and template coding, trust me - this will help you a lot [05:09:15] I understand the basics of infoboxes, I'm just trying to understand how to get a tree list template to work. [05:09:37] I was more refering to headers [05:09:43] I've found that most wikis have the same copy past tree template page [05:09:54] if it's portable infobox, it has

tag [05:09:59] Oh, thx, I'll look into that if it explains headers lol [05:10:28] if it's classic table that just `colspan="2"` cell [05:10:47] I understand how to do basic things like tiered bullet points and basic data, but stuff like infobox headers i don't know [05:10:53] if it's Lua ... well, I'm not a helper here, look at infobox base documentation [05:12:06] I don't advise to copy anything from Wikipedia, but I haven't seen such three templates anywhere else, I suspect it might be Lua based [05:12:22] I've seen it in a few Miraheze wikis [05:12:40] perhaps they imported from WP [05:13:00] these two seem to support it, or have least managed to set up the templates for it https://ardin.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Tree_list https://criticalrole.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Tree_list [05:14:46] things are really slow huh [05:15:39] Is that what the default non visual editor is called? [05:16:33] Because that's what I've been using for the most part, I don't like the visual editor in a lot of instances due to how annoying it is to edit things like infoboxes [05:20:56] [1/4] yup, it's from Wikipedia, and luckily it's not Lua lol [05:20:56] [2/4] you just need to actually read documentation (not everyone bother to provide one, mind you) [05:20:56] [3/4] looking at critical role one - it's actually 3 templates, which provide tree look, but essentially it's the same bullet list [05:20:57] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298516486595411978/IMG_20241023_081747.jpg?ex=6719d937&is=671887b7&hm=40d3f7b57e8525320da1d3bae2c105be9e8e4616e8c9f4575834c19d6f6e8ea3& [05:22:44] [1/2] you'll need TemplateStyles extension for tree look to work, because it's CSS that make it [05:22:44] [2/2] [05:28:23] [1/4] it's called source editor [05:28:23] [2/4] wiki text is basically a markdown [05:28:23] [3/4] different wiki engines have different ways of formatting; the large majority of wikis, us and Fandom included, is on MediaWiki [05:28:24] [4/4] and you're right about it, I used visual only once when I edited a wiki for the first time lol [05:29:52] Thanks for all you're help. Once I've enabled that extension do i just copy paste the source in thet link to a new template? [05:31:48] [1/2] we usually advice to import templates instead of raw copy pasting, because of possible dependencies [05:31:49] [2/2] lemme check if WP version is same, then you'll be able to quickly import w/o a file [05:32:36] also credits/sourcing are always due, in case of import it's already there, otherwise you should state manually [05:32:49] Oh yeah, the infoboxes information page you linked earlier mentioned that. [05:33:04] I just wasn't 100% how the importing process goes [05:33:50] although it's infobox guide, the import part goes for any template [05:33:55] Guess I already enabled template styles on my wiki a while back [05:36:07] [1/3] yeah, it's all same [05:36:07] [2/3] [05:36:07] [3/3] you'll need Tree list, .../end, .../branching and .../styles.css [05:37:02] amd documentation [05:37:41] but Wikipedia docs are fancy, I would suggest to copy tex or make it simpler [05:38:05] they use Lua [05:38:52] [1/2] Are you referring to this? [05:38:53] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298521002493349888/Screenshot_2024-10-22_223825.png?ex=6719dd6c&is=67188bec&hm=f8506a7a4a3ad179d2b604a6a29d789e3a446033e6d04b76709f8265839cf5b1& [05:39:39] well you see, this all goes from documentation lol [05:39:56] hence what I mean by "fancy" and "use Lua" [05:40:16] critical role wiki made it simple [05:40:40] just, well [05:41:02] import these 4 templates separately, w/o "include" checkbox [05:41:21] that way documentation will appear as red link, at first [05:41:52] and you'll be able to create it by yourself w/ just text/code w/o all the hard parts [05:45:18] [1/2] [05:45:18] [2/2] actually, there are more small templates, if you want collapsed functionality [05:45:37] I'm probably not going to use collapse [05:46:00] then you can just simplify doc even more [05:52:07] [1/2] I'm importing those pages now, is any of this other fillable information important/relevant? [05:52:07] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298524334305968128/Screenshot_2024-10-22_225120.png?ex=6719e086&is=67188f06&hm=1477e456aa94b447fcdd486dd9782afcfdeaea4fd980006ee3414d9566303f0c& [05:52:19] the ones from critical wiki, not WP [05:54:06] prefix is needed, iirc for Miraheze wikis it's mh [05:54:38] So I enter mh for interwiki prefix? [05:57:12] yeah [05:58:22] I believe it provides proper link in page history [05:58:33] Ok, they've been succesfully imported. So I should be able to use basic tree lists now I assume, following them same formatting provided on the source pages. [05:59:11] check styles.css page, does it look like proper CSS? [06:00:14] [1/2] This is the imported page for me [06:00:14] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298526379125768224/Screenshot_2024-10-22_225939.png?ex=6719e26e&is=671890ee&hm=aaa77d80587f59f48b54dca5f1145af962930832d4d13fbc288b48d74f8dcd18& [06:00:22] yup, all good then [06:00:35] This has all been a valuable learning experience, thx [06:00:50] np :pupCoffeeMH: [06:01:29] [1/2] And would you look at that, tested it rn and it works like a charm [06:01:29] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298526693077549106/Screenshot_2024-10-22_230101.png?ex=6719e2b9&is=67189139&hm=9d22080711390bc6d8c13bddfa9fc8fe9c528f3f6ac33b1c90aea634b301609f& [06:01:35] mm I want tea now [06:01:53] https://tenor.com/view/tea-good-morning-love-messages-gif-25662378 [08:19:58] [1/2] can i add a section called "event period" in between last modified and contents? i know i need some css/js but im not sure how [08:19:58] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298561543130058793/image0.jpg?ex=671a032d&is=6718b1ad&hm=538d65442975f7d9a4c9bc3058426192c008b06d65b471c4ffc00ea834b5516a& [08:52:37] Hello [08:52:43] Anyone here? [08:55:37] hi [09:05:47] Nope for the Flagicon it is my world's flags and there's over 200 of them in the model atm [09:06:13] I'm the sole editor of that wiki [09:07:05] thought you meant actual users by "editors" [09:07:38] This is interesting but I got no idea how that really works [09:08:12] [1/2] source editor is for article code/wiki text, sp you ca copy paste [09:08:12] [2/2] but entire wiki in a single xml to import is a much easier and faster process [09:08:37] Yeah I mean there's users looking at the fandom occasionally but I'm the only user that edits things on a daily, weekly, month and yearly basis [09:08:58] So in that scenario it also imports templates? [09:09:27] yup, all text content, even things like MediaWiki:Common.css [09:09:58] exporting files is a bit trickier w/ Fandom tho, but possible still [09:11:03] If I already have them all stored on my pc it's gonna be less tricky right? [09:12:21] [1/2] you can drop an archive of them to our tech folks so they'll upload them in a single bulk, but filenames should be the same, so file links won't be broken [09:12:22] [2/2] ofc you can also manually upload one by one [09:13:07] there are extensions for mass file uploads too, but I'm not savvy around them to suggest one or another [09:13:25] Alright, I'm gonna be very annoying but where can I send them this archive? I wish I could upload them myself but There is over 400 files so I think the archive is a little bit better time wise [09:13:46] Thank you so much for answering all of my questions [09:25:07] [1/8] first you need the wiki to be created [09:25:07] [2/8] xml dump import goes here [09:25:08] [3/8] [09:25:08] [4/8] w/ file archive, first drop it somewhere like google drive, then here [09:25:08] [5/8] [09:25:08] [6/8] click on the first button, it will open an issue tracker site [09:25:09] [7/8] you need to click on Login with MediaWiki button (it will tie your tracker and Miraheze accounts), and in the task say you want files imported, provide link to your wiki and cloud/drive link to your archive [09:25:09] [8/8] it might take a day or two, depending on how busy folks might get here (everyone are volunteering) [09:51:50] [1/2] holy fuck I just got jumpscared by related articles lol, thank you cirrussearch [09:51:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1298584662117056512/IMG_20241023_125025.jpg?ex=671a18b5&is=6718c735&hm=0f10ecff65d03e49f21d11b6f10228d8ebbc0a816b6f237d576adf629720b060& [09:52:18] I forgot I even had it enabled [11:22:55] how long does related pages extension take to appear [11:25:53] @rodejong thank you very much for your explanation [11:26:44] idk but it requires cirrus search extension to work, plus ofc textextract and pageimages [11:27:03] cirrus search is restricted, requires steward request [11:27:14] where would i request it [11:27:17] phorge? [11:28:20] I believe you were caught by the spam filters due to including external links on your userpage and your usage of the trigger phrase "my site" [11:28:39] [[SR/RC]] [11:28:39] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SR/RC [11:28:40]

[11:28:47] ah, works [11:29:10] yeah it was definitly this, because i wrote "ʃǃte" instead of "site" and it immediatly worked [11:29:29] don't mine the fact that it should be pronounced as "sh!t" instead lol [11:29:47]
