[00:21:11] There's one in Extension:MyVariables, otherwise I remember Fandom dev wiki has a script you could import. [00:23:18] <.spacedancer.> how do I add spmeone to my administrator list? [00:33:55] <.spacedancer.> (it's a private wiki) [00:50:49] <.spacedancer.> They aren’t a member yet btw [00:51:06] Ensure that the person has a Miraheze account and has visited your wiki, then go to Special:UserRights locally, type their username, and tick the "sysop" and/or "member" box [00:53:05] <.spacedancer., replying to tali64> There is no user by the name "Author'sLife". Check your spelling. [00:54:15] It doesn't look like their account is attached to your wiki [00:54:24] <.spacedancer.> How do I make it be [00:54:44] <.spacedancer., replying to tali64> I know [00:55:14] <.spacedancer.> I'm trying to make it be attached [00:55:22] Tell them to visit your wiki; that's basically the only thing you can do [00:55:34] <.spacedancer.> It's a private wiki [00:55:48] <.spacedancer.> and they are on the main page [00:55:59] <.spacedancer.> nvm it worked [01:27:25] <.spacedancer., replying to tali64> I found out she wasn't logged in yet since I typed the link in since she hadn't clicked "Keep me logged in" [01:28:27] <.spacedancer.> How do I add a sidebar with a picture? [01:51:37] Enable UserFunctions extension, then insert the magic word {{currentloggeduser}} [01:51:37] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:currentloggeduser [01:51:38] HI Chat [01:51:38]

[02:24:50] <.guardianx.> [1/3] I find it strange that MediaWiki has a MagicWord to list a users gender but not the username. [02:24:51] <.guardianx.> [2/3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words [02:24:51] <.guardianx.> [3/3] Doesn't that seem odd? Like wouldn't, in order to get a users pronouns, you need a username or ID? [02:25:52] [1/2] because [02:25:52] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1314417495137976350/image0.jpg?ex=6753b22f&is=675260af&hm=3ea4ebe3ebb8c964852783e82e69291579bcd3de0be7627f948f81d395011ee5& [02:29:15] <.guardianx.> [1/2] Wouldn't user preferences be bound inside of a user profile though? [02:29:15] <.guardianx.> [2/2] It just seems odd to me that the magic word can access things inside a user name or ID, unless, are you saying those things are external to user names? [02:53:45] <.spacedancer.> [1/2] I saw where someone typed {{stub}} and it showed up as “this page is a stub. You can help by expanding it!” [02:53:45] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:stub [02:53:45] <.spacedancer.> [2/2] How do I make that? [02:53:46]

[03:00:44] [[dev:Template:stub]] can help you [03:00:44] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/dev:Template:stub [03:00:45]

[03:03:17] And please read the documentation [03:18:18] Quick question, is there a way to bulk delete pages on a wiki? [03:19:53] <.spacedancer., replying to rodejong> Ok thanks! [04:05:14] Oh awesome thank you! [04:06:23] [1/4] do note that if the visitor is signed out, itll appear as blank so i recommend doing this [04:06:24] [2/4] ``` [04:06:24] [3/4] {{#ifeq: {{currentloggeduser}} | | user | {{currentloggeduser}} }} [04:06:24] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23ifeq:Template:_%7b%7bcurrentloggeduser [04:06:24] [4/4] ``` [04:08:03] Hmm, this is meant to be a link to your userpage... [04:08:10] is there a way to grab an IP address if logged out? [04:08:49] just do Special:MyPage then [04:16:05] pppppft I'm sorry [04:16:12] still useful information to know, thank you [04:28:31] Does anyone have an answer for this? To specify, I want to delete pages that are within a certain category. [04:31:51] maybe use NukeDPL extension? [04:32:29] then in Special:NukeDPL insert like `category=yourcategoryhere` or something [04:32:32] ive never used it before so [04:42:34] I think it requires you to have the `` tag already in those pages [04:47:04] it allows dpl and dpl3 [04:47:06] right? [04:48:38] pretty sure [04:48:56] that's what I saw in the documentation and extension params [05:08:37] [1/2] should the wiki description be moved to the bottom or keep it as it is [05:08:38] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1314458455880241182/image0.jpg?ex=6753d855&is=675286d5&hm=d96b062c98da4d6fefde2879ae5807521cadabde50024b79a3abddb018dc9b9f& [05:42:01] gotta enable dpl3 extension too [05:42:36] I think it's alright as is [05:49:26] Does anyone have the DPL manual? It seems like the old manual is gone [05:51:28] https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:DynamicPageList [05:51:40] https://help.fandom.com/wiki/Extension:DPL3/Manual [05:52:54] Tysm [05:59:34] Is the LinkSuggest broke on MH? [06:04:32] Oh, it isn't. Somehow there's internet connection error [06:38:28] <.labster> Since DPL3 is now maintained by CosmicAlpha, we should probably move the documentation elsewhere... probably to mediawiki.org. [07:01:23] and PI I guess [07:48:19] just asking, but is anyone else having trouble with the search engine? It's getting messy and now i have to type the entire page name i want to get to because it won't show it to me otherwise [07:48:23] same for files (pictures etc) [08:12:26] Standard or CirrusSearch? [08:12:51] Standard is likely to be that bad [08:26:00] man wish there was a easy way import images from fandom [08:27:34] the import part should be fairly easy, if not a bit manual [08:27:37] the exporting part... [08:27:50] yea [08:28:06] but the thing is sadly the wiki is closed [08:28:10] ah damn :( [08:28:18] gg [08:28:21] so i have to get it from http://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ [08:28:26] best you can do is dig archive.org to see if any archivists got to it first ig [08:28:28] oh [08:28:29] thx [08:28:36] oh that works [08:28:39] its sad [08:28:44] why didn't i think of that before [08:28:54] https://www.md5hashgenerator.com/ and fandom archive [08:29:03] it helps [08:29:03] and the xml file [08:30:37] also, i wonder if a big wiki did an edit on a big template [08:30:45] because i think we have ~50k unclaimed jobs for refreshLinks [08:30:55] oh [08:31:23] i say i think because i'm trying to understand the jobqueue dashboard [08:32:48] man irc relay is cool [08:32:58] ikr [08:33:02] basically realtime [10:06:43] Up seems better [10:06:58] Like the viewer can see it and it's a short and brief explanation [12:48:47] standard but it used to work. I asked for Cirrus to be installed on my wiki, i'm still waiting [12:49:02] (not saying that in an impatient way though, i'm just simply waiting) [12:52:49] [1/2] i dont really understand whats the differences of this [12:52:49] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1314575272397246524/0491225F-E8BC-47A9-ADF5-A8B5B5DB2DA5.png?ex=67544520&is=6752f3a0&hm=fd8e215549226fc783d5a6b55c7eef372a82dedb3d745c1fd6a579da9c6e406e& [12:53:09] is it advisable to use #tag for imagemap or [13:03:46] #tag is when you try to make a template w/ imagemap [13:04:12] otherwise , like coding the thing right on the page [13:05:41] although, now I think about it, you can like make a non-template page w/ <...> and then use it like template w/ `{{:pagetitle}}`, but I haven't tried that [13:05:41] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/:Template:pagetitle [13:05:48] bad bot [13:05:49] shoo [13:06:07] [1/2] ah i see [13:06:07] [2/2] i assume applies to all parser hooks that involves template to include #tag? [13:06:35] huh, ive actually never heard of this lol [13:10:14] [1/2] not parser hooks, tags [13:10:14] [2/2] like and in a template have to be typed as #tag [13:11:02] I guess the only exception here is [13:57:43] [1/2] Has anyone else had issues of import requests creating inconsistently some new users on the wiki after importing the xml dump? In this case the I think the xml dump contained hundreds of distinct users but the import added 15 users on the wiki for unknown reasons. Not sure if it was intended since it would be preferable it didn't add any extra users. [13:57:44] [2/2] https://alphacentauri.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log/newusers [14:12:52] is it possible to import pages from fandom using .xmls? [14:22:41] [1/3] yup [14:22:42] [2/3] but you should include edit history, unless it's a template, they get a pass on this [14:22:42] [3/3] but Special:Import is unstable, we suggest using Special:RequestImport, especially if you're trying to import several pages [14:23:44] you mean actual users or user pages w/ "one hundred"? [14:23:55] yeah we have like 916 pages on our fandom wiki [14:24:17] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1314598290389602364/image.png?ex=67545a90&is=67530910&hm=3b26287c390b6867b8635c6eac319c652bc4552b4aab7fd036e80bca1334e151& [14:24:18] [skunked](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1215318818533019648.webp?size=48&name=skunked) [14:24:25] does this include images? [14:24:27] well, if you are migrating the entire wiki you need an xml dump, not each page [14:24:39] if so i have to do some damage control and get rid of personal slop images [14:24:45] yeah [14:25:19] [1/2] fandom offers xml dump, that's only text stuff [14:25:19] [2/2] file dump is created separately by third party means, fandom doesn't like file scrapping [14:25:21] [1/3] and a lot of templates are either [14:25:22] [2/3] 1. not finished on the miraheze wiki [14:25:22] [3/3] 2. different names [14:25:32] well shit.................................... [14:25:44] so that means [14:25:45] all images [14:25:49] need to be replaced?.............. [14:25:52] no worries, someone here can help w/ that [14:25:58] wdym? [14:26:03] please slow down [14:26:15] was told that we need to basically replace old images with new ones [14:26:21] like months ago iirc [14:27:07] well hopefully, its me and one more dude lmao... altho members from the wiki will probably help [14:27:07] you did some work on Miraheze already? and looking into import only now? [14:27:34] no i looked into the import stuff a while back, i just need to reconfirm and bunch of stuff [14:27:57] have you already done some pages or templates [14:28:10] so far only templates and like the main page [14:28:14] we're almost done with everything [14:28:21] its just the small things that need to be fixed [14:28:37] this had to be done after import [14:28:45] . [14:28:54] the fandom import template will get overwritten by your current miraheze template [14:29:16] shouldve done the importing in the first place ngl 😓 [14:29:22] it's not too bad [14:29:34] but it's usually considered at the beginning [14:29:40] can be fixed [14:29:50] true [14:30:20] we didnt only because by the time i had actually started working on the wiki by myself, the roblox game had a big ass update and so we were basically waiting for that update hype to die down and then we would import stuff [14:30:37] the miraheze wiki was made iirc month prior by one of the devs of the game [14:30:48] honestly a mistake on my part [14:31:15] so right now we have a window to complete the wiki in maybe a couple of weeks [14:32:37] we didnt really ask for this, it was an idea from them if we should migrate to miraheze, we were cool with it but we never asked them to make the wiki [14:32:58] i mean we did already have the idea to migrate the wiki for like a year maybe? [14:33:27] oh well.. [14:33:52] [1/4] * go to Special:Statistics on fandom [14:33:52] [2/4] * wait for dump [14:33:53] [3/4] * go to Special:Import on miraheze or Special:RequestImport on miraheze meta wiki [14:33:53] [4/4] * wait [14:34:03] ah [14:34:09] thanks [14:34:11] !

[14:35:39] not again [14:35:43] a [14:35:47] not that bad [14:35:52] [1/2] so its thease dudes right [14:35:52] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1314601208123490366/image.png?ex=67545d48&is=67530bc8&hm=42485355e5ffb0154bef2c9644fb9dc536b0af3f172578f6a94fc101183e0700& [14:35:58] dont these notifs [14:36:03] just stay there [14:36:07] yep [14:36:08] [1/2] forever [14:36:08] [2/2] \ [14:36:10] yep [14:36:19] yeah im gonna go crazy [14:36:39] so i take the second one or the first one? [14:38:47] It meant any distinct users with edits on various pages, and not just user pages. [14:41:38] [1/2] users - say accounts, aren't a part of xml dump [14:41:38] [2/2] accounts you see on Miraheze are distinctly Miraheze accounts, attached by CentralAuth system when any Miraheze user visits your wiki or someone register account on your wiki [14:42:52] [1/2] there's no account migration system on Miraheze, hate to say [14:42:53] [2/2] unless an account w/ identical username that on Fandom already existed it may get attached to histories [14:43:16] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1314603070306521149/image0.jpg?ex=67545f04&is=67530d84&hm=9b8186d5183b4b960dfc9454af1f214b93797023b76f9165599720cfe1af7b65& [14:44:44] wiki.gg and some independent wikis like Minecraft one have account migration process, it's somehow involves a special edit on Fandom iirc [14:46:25] rn if you check page history usernames would appear as red links w/ wikia prefix [14:47:22] Well, it seems in this case 15 accounts got created during the import and those were marked on the logs with "User account ... was created automatically". I was just wondering what kind of reasoning was there. Maybe because they had edits on some non-main namespaces? [14:49:57] [1/2] well, my account just got attached/created [14:49:57] [2/2] it's just Miraheze users checking on your wiki [14:50:05] a h [14:53:53] Okay, no worries then if they are just synced from CentralAuth. Nothing to see here. [14:58:51] [1/2] sorry I'm in a bus so my lookup is haphazard [14:58:52] [2/2] maybe there's something going on, considering CA is a buggy mess [14:59:58] because Installing is not an user?.. [15:01:14] woah [15:01:31] that would actually be cool [15:30:19] for some reason mediawiki seems new for me [15:30:25] even tho it isn't [15:30:28] lmao [15:30:51] i forgot how to change landing page [15:35:06] Special:Mainpage ? [15:37:33] ig yea [15:37:36] oh no [15:37:42]
