[00:35:56] nvm [01:28:12] <.spacedancer., replying to squarelandiuh> nvm [03:14:43] Semester is finally over so I can come back here 🎉 [03:33:44] oh well [03:33:47] whatever [03:33:49] nvm [04:34:07] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1319885592175313018/image0.gif?ex=676796bf&is=6766453f&hm=c32b3dbe3930f7f6a6ca799b42b234c315361ee3ba5600368d043c60c5a7f84c& [05:33:46] Will I receive a notification of some kind once a domain request has processed? I notice that today the domain for our wiki is directing to Miraheze, but it's throwing a "Wiki not found" error. Not sure if it's finished yet since I don't have any meta notifications [05:35:05] almost had a heart attack thinking this was for miraheze [05:35:06] [skunked](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1215318818533019648.webp?size=48&name=skunked) [05:58:29] Can you imagine? "Good morn, fine citizenry. We have reviewed our expansive upload policy and reached the conclusion that it breeds an excessive dependence on our service. Enjoy your freedom from wiki-dependency with the newly enforced 150KB upload cap." [08:00:18] this should be a good motivating force to optimize any files you have [08:02:09] I tried sizing some images down and they ended up having a larger file size lol [08:34:23] i dont even know how you would do that [08:34:59] ive been so used to the fact that miraheze has a higher file size limit, to the point where i forgot that fandom has a 1 MB limit on uploading background images [08:35:10] lawd hav murci!!! [08:40:29] same lol [09:13:16] Does #global-wiki-feed show all edits on miraheze? [09:15:32] pretty much [09:15:33] yeah [09:45:58] From public wikis [09:49:37] how can i make a certain image on an article be the image that pops up in the thumbnail [09:49:44] like when you search for that article [09:52:12] pageimages extension [09:52:26] however if you want a specific image when it pops up, its pageimages + wikiseo [09:59:21] and now how do i make an image what shows in the thumbnail [09:59:29] rn its the first image in the article [09:59:45] check "Overwrite PageImages with WikiSEO" in Special:ManageWiki/settings [09:59:48] ensure wikiseo is enabled [10:00:41] ok i did that [10:00:53] then do {{#seo:|image=whatever.png}} [10:00:53] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23seo:Template: [10:24:12] [1/2] hello i tried to import a xml file but it gave me this error [10:24:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1319973690632441868/image.png?ex=6767e8cb&is=6766974b&hm=cc4eba94eccc62861d6d7933801879230913bb09f2b70e9c0cdb016a2ea56be5& [10:24:15] is there a fix to this [10:28:28] [1/3] using Special:Import? [10:28:29] [2/3] it's unstable, like in its core, it's just there and might work for one small page, but nothing proper [10:28:29] [3/3] we advise using [[Special:RequestImport]] at Meta Wiki [10:28:29] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestImport [10:28:29]

[10:41:25] thank you! I submitted the request [11:04:20] Hi everybody. I need your opinion about a project I want to realize (with your help?). I try to put it in a thread and hope not to spam this channel 😉 [13:03:54] [1/5] Just gonna leave this here- if anyone here lives in the New York metropolitan area USA, and is interested in learning more about Wikipedia and the people behind it(and eating funky shaped cakes!), Wikimedia NYC is hosting Wikipedia Day 2025 on Jan 25, 2025 at the Brooklyn Library. Other groups are likely going to be hosting their own things throughout January across the world, if you [13:03:54] [2/5] ’re curious I can look for you! [13:03:54] [3/5] Here’s the event page, and a fun trailer by Molly, if you find it interesting and don’t have plans, maybe check it out(personally I love these a ton) [13:03:55] [4/5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wikipedia_Day_2025 [13:03:55] [5/5] https://www.instagram.com/reel/DD0LKeIyf1t/ [16:02:34] I was about to file a bug report on Phabricator over something... but when I double-checked the issue on multiple browsers (including those both based on Chromium & not), it had already solved itself [16:30:07] Sounds about right [16:54:37] The Special:WantedPages on my wiki no longer updates [16:54:49] No idea why [16:56:58] How long has it been [17:00:45] Five or six days, I think [17:09:31] Hm, I think it may be set to a week? Check again in 2 days and see [17:13:33] There's already a task for that [17:13:38] For WhatLinksHere [17:13:42] I think some are broken [17:20:41] Can we set the deadline ourselves? [17:22:25] How do i close a wiki? [17:23:16] oh wait, i think i found it [17:23:21] "Manage this wiki's core settings" [17:26:04] i assume its not normal to get a "something went wrong" after, right? [17:26:31] yep, it got through [17:28:19] Nay [17:28:34] If needed we can manually update [17:28:48] Any way to check when cron runs [17:30:01] [1/2] I've closed the furby wiki [17:30:02] [2/2] Hated working on it [17:31:18] Didn't help that I only made it cuz other people wanted it to exist, not because i myself wanted it to exist [17:32:17] just in case maybe make dumps of it [17:32:35] all that work you've made to not be wasted [17:34:58] I do that by "Manage this wiki's backups" right? [17:37:10] yeah, but file dumps has to be made via steward [17:38:27] ah oki [17:38:43] how do i do that then? [17:50:17] okay thanks [17:54:09] [[SR/M]] I guess [17:54:09] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SR/M [17:54:09]

[18:19:22] Crons are evil for monitoring. I have no idea why we don't use timers. [18:21:30] I did not know timers existed :p [18:27:57] [1/3] Why does the text at the top not appear when logged in?

[19:08:00] Touché [19:08:44] ? [19:10:09] ChatGPT at the top [19:10:18] Ah [19:10:19] LOL [19:10:36] _doesn't use chatgpt that often_ [19:10:53] That explains the weirdness I felt when I initially read the mail [19:11:21] I would go full swing rant mode but I have bigger issue IRL [19:30:47] I went for it [19:30:58] Lol [19:31:34] I'm in a grumpy mood anyway [19:32:03] At least you gave me some lolz while I'm full anger mood (thanks politics!) [19:32:50] Link? [19:32:59] No idea how to navigate hyperkitty [19:33:07] Should be the same one, my reply should appear [19:33:13] [1/2] Archived-At: [19:33:13] [2/2] [19:33:27] /me was too lazy and reused the message header [19:34:23] [1/7] >>> Good Evening, [19:34:23] [2/7] Does the vice chair of AffCom really have so little care and appreciation [19:34:24] [3/7] for the community that you can't even be arsed to write your own human [19:34:24] [4/7] friendly response? [19:34:24] [5/7] Do better. [19:34:24] [6/7] Thanks, [19:34:25] [7/7] Samuel [19:34:28] a:Clap: [19:34:51] The old mailman was a much simpler UI but it had a major security flaw [19:34:59] It stored your password plaintext [19:35:02] Get nae nae’d [19:35:09] Kms [19:35:16] How [19:35:26] The very most basic of security principles [19:35:27] Cause it was very very old [19:35:32] Was it OSS [19:35:37] Ye [19:35:40] It was pre-2000 anyway [19:35:49] Sounds like someone could have forked and fixed [19:35:55] Mailman is officially GNU Mailman [19:36:04] How long did it take to someone to notice [19:36:09] And it still does that? [19:36:10] Everybody knew it [19:36:17] Nobody dare to fix it until 2010s [19:36:26] (With release of v3) [19:36:54] Mailman is still part of GNU project while not really advertising that I think? [19:37:18] [1/2] I have sent da request [19:37:19] [2/2] I can now work on other projects without feeling guilty about the furby wiki [19:38:42] Hey @ghaztliousmoths [19:38:51] You made it to the end of your first semester too [19:39:01] I made it to my final semester [19:39:03] Scary [19:44:24] [1/2] We are at over 2/3 of our fundraiser goal https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Fundraiser [19:44:25] [2/2] Thank you everyone!
