[01:35:21] not off my head, but I may know a wiki that does it [01:35:53] But also [01:37:33] It depends on what exactly you want [01:37:43] is your goal just the star thing? [01:37:54] pretty much [01:37:59] just some way to show that articles are featured on the article page itself [01:39:17] https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Page_status_indicators [01:41:07] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Top_icon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Featured_article Honestly, seems pretty easy [01:48:40] oh i had no idea was a thing in MW [01:48:42] thats awesome, thank you [01:55:29] [1/3] Pissing me off, when I put it in inspect element it works perfectly fine but when I put it in Common CSS it becomes transparent again what the hell 🥹 [01:55:30] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1404282042283196436/IMG_2931.png?ex=689a9f11&is=68994d91&hm=57329067ef022e38932e721f2d9fa54eea40e5491c3a0035736c0c3b6fd0f88f& [01:55:30] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1404282042664882186/IMG_2932.png?ex=689a9f11&is=68994d91&hm=e4ef1b6482ba7af5dbed505a40f31fb1f94174d993d8c550fec724c91f2157bf& [01:56:04] [1/2] Can one of y’all check if it’s transparent or solid [01:56:04] [2/2] https://blockstarplanet.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Progeest?debug=2 [01:56:52] [1/3] sweats [01:56:52] [2/3] i've never gotten this error b4- [01:56:52] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1404282388166606868/image.png?ex=689a9f63&is=68994de3&hm=3586096fa0409a49951cbfc34c0a03c92d2c343544cd74640f844749a1b3b810& [01:57:07] I had it once too [01:57:13] After a few reloads I believe it fixes itself [01:57:35] [1/2] this is the other error im receiving [01:57:35] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1404282571315085462/image.png?ex=689a9f8f&is=68994e0f&hm=9272466c018a40fef7eed6b61642444f8c656811c5642cf3122aa1f0a40a718a& [01:57:55] what the hell [01:57:56] course [01:58:13] i also forgot lol, i checked enwiki to see how its done [01:58:42] i'm not using a vpn btw, so i don't know why it's doing this,, [02:00:48] Try clearing your cache and cookies [02:01:35] that worked! weird tho, i have a thing that should be clearing my cookies regularly but oh well [02:28:36] [1/2] what's the snippet that changes this part of the wiki?

[17:13:00]

[17:13:10] Thank you so much lemme report back to them and keep yall posted [17:16:17] are u fr [17:16:22] The original Miraheze domains are not designed to be functional for editing [17:16:26] man [17:16:50] Once automatic custom domain removals are in place, they will be redirecting automatically [17:17:07] It's only there so you have basic functionality if your domain fails [18:08:54] hi [18:09:04] i think i already said this a week ago [18:09:13] But our wiki still isnt loading some images [18:12:52] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1399516231442370761 [18:31:11] [1/2] Same thing. It's obviously a parser bug with how `#` is handled. [18:31:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1404532618510209195/image.png?ex=689b886f&is=689a36ef&hm=7da621b59675b1136bf532b63cef4e6bd5a6024d2aa2c731e213d8df40ba4e4c& [18:39:41] [1/3] Hi, everyone! I'm trying to persuade a wiki to move away from Fandom, and since they're a music wiki it looks like their only options are either self-hosting or Miraheze. Since I don't know the singular administrator's circumstances, I want to help them move here! I have reached out to him on Fandom, but have not received a response about if he'd like to move. However, I am cons [18:39:41] [2/3] idering making a wiki on the topic on Miraheze anyway if he decides they won't move, which would just mean I'd be working without his assistance and without assuming their prior work. Our wiki's topic & scope would be the same, regardless of whether or not the wiki is made as a move from Fandom. So, I wanted to start the process of requesting the wiki now in order to "get ahea [18:39:41] [3/3] d" of the queue... but the checkbox `This wiki is moving or forking from an existing wiki` is a box that I don't know whether I can tick or not yet until he gets back to me. Is it possible for me to move forward (and if so, how) - or should I wait for his reply? [18:53:20] [1/3] Discussing forking on Fandom itself can be problematic because of its strict forking policy. If the admin is aware of it, they would be very reluctant to respond to you on the site itself. [18:53:21] [2/3] You most likely can assume their prior work. If the original wiki is licensed under some variant of the CC license without the ND clause, you can simply fork all content to Miraheze (volunteers here canhelp you). Note that if you don't have much wiki-editing experience, fixing all the things that will be broken after the fork can be challenging. [18:53:21] [3/3] IMO you can check the box to say some members of the original wiki are moving, but I'm not a wiki creator, so I can't say for certain. [18:54:10] I would wait for a reply. Creating the wiki without consideration for the already established wiki is gonna cause a rift in the community and is a really bad idea imo. Forks should only happen if there's a general consensus to do so [18:55:14] true yeah [18:55:20] both of these messages [18:55:39] as a music wiki admin may i ask which wiki is that? 👀 [18:56:24] Apparently this is a MediaWiki parser bug that has existed since 2008: a 17-year-old bug... [18:56:34] Also I'd say it's pretty unethical to do an unofficial fork regardless of the law, you're practically stealing people's hard work [18:58:17] I wouldn't say harsh things about it. It might make people very sad because they don't understand what the CC license means, but when they edited the wiki, they have already given consent to let other people do whatever they want with their work as long as license terms are followed. [18:59:17] If you wanna look at it at a technicality then yeah, but it would be pretty rude. I certainly wouldn't be happy if someone were to take all my hard work and move it somewhere else [18:59:33] Forking unofficially is very common in the software world and usually don't make the original authors upset, though in the MW world things might be different. [19:00:33] I think for software it's pretty different. Wikis you sit down and write, you create templates, you summarize, you create themes, etc. [19:01:27] Yk for communities to read [19:01:29] I should clarify I would only have based the Miraheze wiki off of the work on Fandom if they agreed to move (at which point the Miraheze wiki would replace the Fandom one). Otherwise, I would have worked on it from Miraheze from scratch - but then that gets into the community rift you brought up. But yes I agree with this mostly [19:01:42] Thank you all for your input ^_^ I think I'll wait for now [19:01:56] Gotcha, just making sure :DoneMH: [19:05:01] idk if you don't want people (including those you might not like) to expand upon your work, then perhaps you should consider a license other than CC [19:05:13] (not directed towards anyone) [19:06:07] I can DM you [19:07:46] ok [19:14:37] I mean I'd be fine with people expanding upon my work, but creating a dupe wiki on another platform with all my content without asking permission is where I'd draw the line [19:15:49] If someone asked first I'd probably be fine with it LOL [19:18:08] Yeah, beyond questions of licenses, wikis thrive best when there's an active community behind them working to help build and expand on existing content. Forking without the community behind the project is a hard road to travel. [19:20:22] Eh, it’s just fundamentally not stealing. Permission is granted with the license itself. It’s not just a technicality it’s just how it is. The majority of images on Wikipedia are photographs taken under the similar license. [19:26:04] [1/2] I'd personally say it's the letter vs the spirit. You can, but the intent is that they know "hey, this came from somewhere else, and this is where it came from" so the person reading knows your work is based on something and not entirely your work. Most of the outrage would come from those statements living in the fine print where people won't re [19:26:05] [2/2] ally find it easily (parallel example: did you know existed? I was only able to find it in the Discord marketing website footer) [20:39:33] That's older than some of our volunteers [20:39:40] And nearly an adult [20:39:56] Bugs old enough to drink in the UK are not okay [20:40:08] Bugs old enough to drink in the US need fire setting to them [20:42:04] that's nuts [20:56:32] They better not have this bug in parsoid... [21:25:46] Bugs 🐛 [21:25:54] When we all move on [21:26:03] There’s gonna be that one 50 year old bug [22:38:36] We love the WMF. Instead of fixing bugs, just sunset the entire thing and rewrite it from scratch with less functionality!

Our usual timeline bounces between 1-3 days for human review, so as you might imagine this much of a backlog is incredibly painful for us as well. Nobody likes waiting, and nobody likes looking at a virtual 'to-do box' so full of pending work. 😭 [23:16:15] True... true. I understand your struggles and I hope the problem is fixed soon, especially with the amount of wikis needing to be created 🙏 [23:22:03] So using wikibase is there any way to run SPARWL queries on it? [23:32:44] Not as far as I've heard , though there's some orb-pondering on what the future state might be looking like re: SPARQL and MH [23:42:12] Table colors again I see [23:42:32] I did recently ask for ColorizerToolVE to be installed on my wiki so I don't have to fiddle around with doing the colors in source editor [23:43:26] [1/2] Hello! Yes, I did leave the Fandom Discord server shortly yesterday, as I will be moving my home wiki to Miraheze due to a large majority of reasons. That, and I feel more at home with Miraheze than on Fandom. Sure, I'll be dropping out of some functional JavaScript tools, but it had to be done. I've already made a full database dump of my home wiki a [23:43:27] [2/2] nd downloaded all the images I don't have on my computer, so I'm pretty much good to go. [23:43:47] and I've already done a fork of Mongrels Wiki on Fandom to Mongrelpedia on Miraheze [23:44:05] the content in the show itself is just too much for Fandom which is why I made the fork in the first place [23:45:32] welcome [23:46:10] Thanks! 🩷 [23:48:18] [1/2] Same thing with me and the My Life as a Teenage Rabbot Wiki, as I've been busy downloading all the media from said wiki to my computer after making a full database dump. When the automated review tool comes online, I'll upload the full dump to my Google Drive head of time, since I think MediaWiki would time out, since the full extracted dump is 1.6 giga [23:48:18] [2/2] bytes in size. ``:Miraheze_pain:`` [23:48:55] ngl we need a miraheze pain emoji [23:49:06] :moonch: [23:49:18] What the heck is that [23:49:51] I don't know, but it's the custom emoji that most closely resembles a miraheze pain. 🙂 [23:49:57] Since the Fandom server has pain emojis, we might as well have our own. [23:50:33] I think a dis/misassembled miraheze logo [23:51:48] it's hard to misassemble the logo [23:55:35] That would be nice, or the times when MediaWiki decides to go oof.
