[00:32:59] me 2 on my wiki! various times [03:12:36] i want to ask [03:12:41] how to add custom buttons to the wiki footer? [03:12:56] i see some wikis like fisch wiki have an extra button in the footer [03:16:30] what do you mean [03:16:35] the irwa button? [03:16:36] https://fischipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Timeless.js [03:17:04] at the bottom it just clones the miraheze button and replaces it with IRWA stuff [03:17:15] didnt even let them clarify [03:17:41] ...we dont really have any other extra buttons besides that [03:17:49] ah [03:17:51] lol [03:17:53] thanks [03:18:07] yeah that was i'm implying [03:18:28] Line 49 of the Timeless JS [03:18:37] ermmm what about Donate to Miraheze... [03:19:14] believe it or not, built-in [03:19:47] Don't clock me like this Asko [03:20:01] :thanks: [03:49:42] you do realise that we can add button on request, right? [03:50:11] [1/2] 1. i havent had anything to do with it [03:50:12] [2/2] 2. that's not fun! [03:51:11] o [03:54:38] omw to make 8 tickets for the 8 irwa wikis to get a silly little button added :3 /j [03:54:50] it can be just one :p [03:55:15] aight i'll get the bureaucratic process in motion [04:28:45] im motioning [05:11:07] we're gaming [05:34:56] we're gaying :3 [06:03:26] were mirahezing [06:08:33] So is semantic mediawiki the thing that wikidata uses? [06:21:15] @blankeclair is Semantic mediawiki the thing that wikidata uses? [06:21:24] no idea lol [06:21:26] doubt it tho [06:21:39] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Version [06:21:42] looks like a no [06:24:34] wtf 1.45?? [06:25:19] wmf runs 'em precocious [07:08:23] crazy [07:31:43] It's wikibase [07:35:52] [1/2] How come people who requested their wiki today are already getting it accepted, and i’ve been for like 4 days now and i still don’t have any response? I know it’s checked by volunteers and i’m not rushing anyone, but for me it feels kind of unfair for the people who have been waiting in the line. [07:35:52] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1382262040264966144/IMG_4282.png?ex=684a8357&is=684931d7&hm=f245117454507c8cfcc713bcc74332ace3255cf57f305d83a97c45f8618f51d1& [07:36:39] ...were they approved by the AI? [07:44:46] AI approves/disapproves quickly, if it's unsure or needs more details request is moved to human review queue [07:45:02] and there comes volunteer factor [07:46:19] I never had any AI check my request [07:46:30] dw, we used to have like 10 days queue times before AI solution was deployed [07:46:54] link? [07:47:21] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/60732#mw-section-comments [07:48:19] AI errored or ran out of credits [07:48:30] there was something on 9th [07:48:32] which gets you sent for human review [07:49:16] So can I delete the request and make a new one so that the AI checks it ? [07:49:33] unadvised [07:49:43] please dont [07:51:05] Or can the AI be run again on my existing request [07:51:34] Idk i’m kinda annyoed that any new request that gets made now gets instant decision from AI and i Can’t get any response yet [07:51:48] Looks like no request on June 9 was approved due to the outage [07:53:00] I think it’s a good idea to run the AI again on those requests that never got AI review it would loosen up your queue too. [09:12:39] I'll put it forward to run the AI again, But each request done by the AI costs money, so when the credits are out ... [09:13:41] If a request has gone for human review, you can probably expect a 7-10 day wait [09:14:14] [1/2] that makes sense for those who got rejected by the AI already [09:14:14] [2/2] but last I checked, AI doesn't cost during outages [09:15:06] i don't think it's unreasonable to try running the AI again on requests that didn't even get touched by it [09:17:51] We'll see what we can do [09:18:18] But if any WCs are around, please continue to review them [09:32:45] [1/2] silly question, but can i request file import from specific pages and not from the whole wiki? [09:32:46] [2/2] there are some unused files from the old wiki btw so i'm curious [09:37:04] [1/2] you can export selected pages into one xml file, via Special:Export on source wiki [09:37:04] [2/2] but files themselves aren't part of xml in any form (unless you mean File: namespace pages, which have descriptions etc) [09:38:09] oh i mean the files, not the pages haha, like images, audio etc [09:38:42] i knew that they wouldn't be imported if using the export pages tool [09:40:12] [1/2] you can scrap files but unsure if there's a way to pick certain ones [09:40:12] [2/2] you can delete things from archive after full scrap, and then give that for import [09:42:42] [1/2] ah i see, ig i should upload manually for now [09:42:42] [2/2] (i think scrapping might take even more time) [09:52:28] [1/2] also how can i fix this issue? [09:52:29] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1382296421075783680/image.png?ex=684aa35c&is=684951dc&hm=81f081deeb4e85997e0c4116158f87194e5a498086ef968a82e05e9957300646& [09:53:27] refresh [09:54:00] tried it, didn't work :/ [10:23:49] Wait a few seconds and refresh [10:23:55] Nothing you've done wrong [11:15:38] [1/2] Got my wiki approved! As I'm tangling with it, it becomes apparent that I haven't edited a wiki for 20 years 😮 [11:15:38] [2/2] How do I create a new wiki page and create a word-link to it? I vaguely recall from wikipedia that it's a simple as making a link, then pressing the link and then editing that page to create it from scratch, but what is the code for making the link? [[ ]] or something like that? [11:18:06] [1/2] simplest way to create a page is to search for it and clicking the red link [11:18:07] [2/2] links are indeed made with double square brackets, try `[[Main Page]]` for example [11:20:28] oh cool, thanks! [11:20:38] what do you mean by clicking the red link? [11:21:28] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1382318817681870952/image.png?ex=684ab838&is=684966b8&hm=e5de10eb49e236f71412c0215270096dfe68e1a4759788e41ff687812023a1e2& [11:22:50] oh word [11:22:52] that is easy [11:24:00] @theubusu AI approves in like 10 seconds if you give enough detail [11:24:43] [1/2] anyway, if you haven't already, I recommend checking out our [[How-to guides]] [11:24:44] [2/2] and if anything is confusing or unclear, there's always people around to help out [11:24:45]

[11:24:46] i wish [11:25:36] my request wasn’t seen by AI because of an outage [11:32:17] [1/3] i usually link these guides for beginners [11:32:18] [2/3] [[mw:Help:Formatting]] [11:32:18] [3/3] [[mw:Help:Links]] [11:32:18]

[1/2] [11:32:18]

[2/2] [11:32:37] Hopefully someone puts the 100 wiki requests that couldn't be reviewed through the AI agai [11:32:54] It shouldn't cost much [11:33:40] this already answered three of my questions 😮 thx! [11:33:49] i hope [11:35:28] i just want my wiki 😭 [11:48:31] [1/2] Learned how to make progressive blur 🎉 [11:48:31] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1382325622508093490/image.png?ex=684abe8e&is=68496d0e&hm=ef6eb7daf9ec8b1101bab645d79dc00e04e2ed925cd133470b92efc26611211f& [12:04:30] [1/2] speaking of, i noticed there an older, inactive wiki that covers the same topic as mine [12:04:30] [2/2] nobody has edited it for a while, and it got marked for deletion recently, so... should i report that wiki so it would be closed? [12:08:15] <_arawynn> If they're already marked for deletion I'd say it's not necessary that wiki [12:09:47] there's opening and adoption procedures tho [12:09:58] [1/2] oh wait, it got marked for being inactive, not deletion [12:09:58] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1382331021567201331/IMG_20250611_190939.jpg?ex=684ac396&is=68497216&hm=516c74daef21f881196b30399ab98f6ead0ebfe7ed3f7b3262b01ff85130852f& [12:10:43] [1/2] opening in case wiki got closed for inactivity [12:10:43] [2/2] adoption in case if you want to become an admin of a wiki and current bureau/admin is unreachable [12:11:23] inactive means you can just edit it and banner should disappear [12:11:49] [1/2] well, i did currently hosting another wiki that covers the same topic [12:11:49] [2/2] i didn't know there was a similar wiki before mine [12:12:29] i guess let the old one to get deleted [12:12:42] it got very different url? [12:13:03] yeah, apparently [12:13:19] well, only a word difference [12:13:52] is that wiki also forked? [12:14:36] hm... i dont think so [12:16:04] it's funny because the wiki i'm hosting is a forked one [12:30:56] so the problem is that it takes 6 months after close to be eligible for deletion [12:31:20] if what you made was already approved then yeah, we could expedite the close and maybe lock for good measure, if not adoption would probably be a more final process [12:33:43] [1/2] if the old one started as clean wiki and became inactive, chances are admin burned out [12:33:43] [2/2] forking is usually a much simpler solution [12:34:26] https://milgramproject.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page here's the wiki link, if you're wondering [12:34:35] it's preferred to adopt over the dead wiki [12:34:57] private wiki [12:35:03] on top of this all [12:35:19] rookie mistake [12:35:20] oh, well it can be flat deleted in some conditions, but close/lock might be the way [12:36:10] [1/2] oh btw i'm not the admin there, nor member [12:36:11] [2/2] i just stumbled on it when trying to search for my wiki [12:37:53] let me see what the pulse is, which already isn't great for being inactive but who knows [12:38:58] there is evidence of resurrecting it in march with the apparent intent to work on it eventually [12:39:31] this is a case where there isn't an explicit basis to tell them 'sorry you missed your shot, pls contribute to the people who've actually made it work', but that is probably the most equitable answer to avoid competing wikis down the road [12:41:51] also i don't think this wiki would see the day, iirc it was last edited in 2024 [12:42:13] eh maybe i shouldn't be bothered about it much and just ignore it [12:44:25] that would be best imo [12:44:45] policy greatly favors the incumbent wiki as the place to contribute to though it doesn't really consider what happens if someone sets private for setup and then just, buggers off [12:45:20] the operator did touch a few months ago hence only being inactive and not closed, but it's evident there is no passion there [12:47:43] yea, it speaks volumes [12:54:36] ive seen enough examples of wikis set private as a wip and then dropped [12:55:08] ngl im currently waiting for one such wiki to free the url [13:02:22] not our finest system on that tbh [13:03:04] I do think if someone comes in with intent to develop it and then they just drop the ball, hog the domain, rely on our protection against duplication in a way, then that protection should be summarily dropped if someone comes in with a clearer game plan [13:03:09] not sure how to express that as a policy though [13:07:07] man infoboxes are hard.. I eventually caved and just tried copying the documentation, but that doesn't give me an infobox, just a link saying "sample: infobox character" [13:07:12] [1/2] here's my preview: [13:07:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1382345423397720106/image.png?ex=684ad0ff&is=68497f7f&hm=a8cab3871d97f2d29953858974fdb730e5954e3f734142270b9b772e5ca771b2& [13:07:14] what am I doing wrong? [13:10:01] well, documentation subpage is a description+usage example of template, not the template itself that will be used [13:10:32] infobox is a type of template [13:10:59] oh [13:11:16] I have gone through both the infobox help docs and I can't understand how to actually make one... [13:11:43] we suggest to make them w/ PortableInfobox extension (method developed by Wikia/Fandom) or import from our Dev Wiki for an already made one, if it fits the purpose [13:11:47] [1/3] chat i'm new to miraheze and making a wiki with my friends [13:11:47] [2/3] how do i like [13:11:48] [3/3] add new categories and articles and stuff [13:12:08] I have approved the extension for using P.I. but how does that lead to me having a box on a page? [13:12:21] like how do I use the exten [13:12:27] [[infoboxes]] [13:12:29] @link [13:12:29] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/infoboxes [13:12:39] there's a visual builder which lets you to make simple infobox [13:12:59] in that guide linked below there's visual instruction too (collapsed) [13:13:10] *above [13:15:29] [1/6] basic method to create new page is clicking on a red link to one [13:15:29] [2/6] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1382317970948358317 [13:15:30] [3/6] or type new page name in URL (after `/wiki/`) [13:15:30] [4/6] categories are added anywhere in the code like this: `[[Category:`Name here`]]` [13:15:30] [5/6] category is a page w/ Category: prefix (in category namespace) [13:15:31] [6/6] a page w/o prefix is an article (belongs to main namespace) [13:16:00] mkay thanks [13:16:26] is it this one? https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:Infobox_101 [13:17:00] no, what BlankeClair posted (via bot) [13:17:08] [[Infoboxes]] [13:17:09]

[13:18:34] Still don't get how I actually create the infobox.. It suggests going to a miraheze fandom wiki and just copy one, but that doesn't allow me to dictate the specs myself [13:19:02] miraheze fandom wiki?.. [13:19:05] okay, look [13:19:10] the other way i mentioned [13:19:24] [[dev:Category:Infobox templates]] [13:19:25]

[13:19:33] you can copy these templates [13:19:44] Ok 😮 [13:19:48] there are portable infobxoes tooo [13:20:01] you can edit them by yourself on your wiki after import [13:20:13] still, i suggest to carefully read the Infoboxes guide [13:20:45] Ok! [13:25:25] There is an api to list files used on a page, but it doesn't seem to be exposed to the end user directly [13:25:45] Okay, so to use Visuel Editor, it seems like I should "go to Special:InfoboxBuilder on your wiki", but when I type that in, it informs me said special page doesn't exist? [13:25:52] can you reverse special unused files? /j [13:27:04] [1/3] wait [13:27:05] [2/3] you need PortablInfobox extension to make an infobox, and to use that builder [13:27:05]
