[00:43:10] [1/4] An editor is not seeing our wiki styling and has tried clearing the cache, logging out and then back in, and merely waiting to see if whatever it was would roll-over or fix itself, but it hasn't. They're just seeing a white background instead of what we've got. This isn't affecting me, so I'm not quite sure what the problem might be (they don't either) or what else to try. [00:43:11] [2/4] They said, "I opened the website this morning and it was normal, I went to see recent changes and that page was normal, I went to another page and then suddenly the theme was just gone." [00:43:11] [3/4] I suspect it's user-end, but I don't know what other solutions might exist. Any advice on how else to troubleshoot? [00:43:11] [4/4] [01:45:10] Hey, what if i want to add an extension and it says "[Requires] Permissions: managewiki-restricted" [01:46:10] dan_.kogh: [[SR/RC]] [01:46:13] @link [01:46:13] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SR/RC [02:05:21] Hard to say why it might be happening on some pages and not others, likeliest cause is some cached resource that isn't clearing itself. CTRL+SHIFT+F5 is one option for a hard refresh, as is clearing browser cache. Beyond that, may be some funky blocker/extension they are using? [02:06:21] It's not that it's happening on only one page, it's that they started at RecentChanges which was normal, then left it to a second page and suddenly nothing had the styling [02:06:35] And they've cleared cache already, which hasn't worked [02:06:56] so, yeah, it's become really hard to say and I've run out of "uh, try this?" [02:07:37] I'll ask for another cache clear tho bc sometimes.... it be like that [02:08:23] tbh I'm baffled, mostly looking for "try clearing the cache" style tips? because really weird thing [02:11:09] Also worth noting that some namespaces (like most Special: pages and preference pages) restrict certain types of formatting to preserve usability [02:11:11] Yeah, a pretty unique problem, it can sometimes be tied to specific server endpoints (either CF or us) [02:11:37] If it's still ongoing, I may recommend they file a [[Phorge]] ticket for technology team investigation, as that's going beyond the usual tips and tricks at this point [02:11:38] [02:42:32] will keep in mind! [03:15:26] [1/2] i've almost got this looking how i want it, how would i move the image so its centered vertically and away from the border [03:15:27] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1406838877150515333/image.png?ex=68a3ec4e&is=68a29ace&hm=d58691f163a1a386460bd7b3ca2cc2f26a4bfcf1991eb1339b2233838387cd0f& [03:33:53] one idea could be having a table [03:38:30] [1/2] table is the bottom one, thank you!

[06:53:19] Tabbers work on mobile right? [07:00:13] Would it really hurt SEO if I used it INSIDE gallery pages to neatly organize images under different sections? [08:39:40] Mobile styling is pure pain... [08:52:15] tabberneue works with that ofc [09:53:29] Wiki [09:59:21] Wiki [10:04:25] Wiki [10:08:31] Wiki [10:17:16] Wikia? [10:19:03] no. [12:01:53] Online Encyclopedia [12:46:25] So what should I do? [13:04:38] Go into the wild and hunt them down [13:05:37] (PS, do not actually do this, watch Magnolia instead) [13:09:46] Is the usage of LLM/AI chatbot on wiki regulated/prohibited by GCP? [13:13:54] Google Cloud Platform [13:14:27] Global Conduct Policy [13:14:36] Be patient [13:14:54] [[Global Conduct Policy]] [13:14:55] [13:14:59] Well, the content policy doesn't explicitly say which AI generated content is prohibited? Just that generating code is allowed [13:15:55] The generative AI RfC miserably failed to agree anything [13:16:04] Yeah I saw that [13:16:15] And the only change that was agreed was https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy#Coding_and_Generative_AI [13:16:30] [1/7] == Content created by LLM/GPT == [13:16:30] [2/7] [[w:Large language model|Large language models (LLM)]]/[[w:Generative pre-trained transformer|Generative pre-trained transformers]] such as [[w:ChatGPT|ChatGPT]] (types of [[w:Artificial intelligence|AI]]) are trained on materials that are both in the [[w:public domain|public domain]] as well as those that are [[w:Copyright|copyrighted]].

[13:19:42] at this moment AI content specifically isn't prohibited at all [13:20:16] No, it isn't. I never said it was [13:20:28] Copyrighted material is [13:20:45] And LLM are trained on copyrighted materials [13:20:50] The content policy should mention that explicitly I think [13:21:09] So if you post text from a LLM, you take chances that you post copyrighted material [13:21:16] The text dump from Ro has never been shared outside of an internal channel as far as I know [13:21:21] Not that I'll bother to create a new RfC just for that change [13:21:23] We are talking about that indeed [13:21:29] And no policy either foundation or community exists yet [13:22:02] It's on my Userpage indeed [13:22:10] It's not a policy [13:22:15] But Ro has half a point, please check the content is accurate and not too similar to anything it's been trained on and could be a copyright issue [13:22:21] You guys treat it as such, but it's not [13:22:35] Yey you finally answered my question to has that been made public anywhere [13:22:56] Djeez... relax 😄 [13:23:16] who are we, if not crazy about the rules [13:24:08] Okay so it's something dumped on in your userpage essay [13:24:26] Correct [13:24:43] Ye I don't care what it says then [13:25:09] Cause your RfC on GenAI is the one that failed miserably [13:25:43] https://tenor.com/bWXhH.gif [13:25:53] I think it's really funny how it links to every Wikipedia page possible, which is probably why Rhinos took it as a Wikipedia policy [13:26:14] man [13:26:42] wild...hunt... [13:27:10] https://tenor.com/view/gangnam-must-be-the-reason-why-gif-10492233226585691387 [13:28:26] Wikipedia is not for wikipedia only. It is general knowledge that can be a basis to factbase your comments on. It doesn't mean that it immediately is Wikipedia Policy [13:28:49] Neither will it be Miraheze Policy [13:29:12] It is just blown out of proportions [13:31:34] [1/2] If a wiki requester wants to make a wiki generated by AI, I have no basis to decline such wiki, even though I find it a waste of space personally. But with said text, I can warn users that they are liable for the possibility that they are posting copyrighted content, which is prohibited by the Copyright Policy. [13:31:34] [2/2] A user is always responsible for what he/she posts on their wiki. [13:32:16] "they", if you're looking for a neutral pronoun [13:33:08] I've written him/her or his/her for over 40 years... difficult to switch over 😄 [13:33:38] less key presses tho [13:33:47] same (not the 40 years part), we were never taught about they as a singular pronoun. [13:33:47] I’ll admit that subconsciously, outside of the internet, I seem to use he/her 🫣 [13:33:56] him and her is less key presses than they [13:33:56] It’s how I was taught too just a few years ago [13:34:13] propaganda 😔 [13:34:19] that and that the infinitive cannot be cut off [13:35:04] to no “We’re going to really go now” but rather “We’re really going to go now” [13:36:29] It's something that only recently has shifted. For millennia, it has been He and She. And suddenly we have to think as They in singular. It sounds just as wrong in my head as "a nice snowy day on a 30C summer day" [13:36:41] I always got punished for using "to not [verb]" instead of "not to [verb]" [13:37:03] just pretend you are a fancy aristocrat, literally everyone becomes multiple [13:37:04] lots of rules 😆 [13:37:06] Things change slowely [13:37:45] Yeah... Here in Denmark it is only His Royal Highness and his wife and Mother we call They. [13:38:04] Everyone here is "du" (You) [13:38:23] For me, using "they" for a single person is completely normal, probably because it's already been commonly used when I started learning English [13:38:30] And for Bangla it's even simpler, সে [13:38:32] you joke but it does sometimes snow here in finland during the summer [13:38:53] In German, we don't have something like "they" though, so we're kinda forced to use he/she ("er/sie") [13:38:55] Not with 30C though 😉 [13:39:03] same in Spanish [13:39:07] climate change ;) [13:39:39] concept of gendered pronouns is kinda cringe anyway [13:39:58] just call everyone "it" [13:40:14] In Spanish, the neuter got merged into the masculine over a 1,500 years ago since they sounded alike so a group of people is referred to as the masculine which technically serves as both masculine and neuter [13:40:15] I feel sorry for those who need to use gendered verbs too [13:40:17] still better than gendered nouns [13:40:25] I think Hindi uses them??? [13:40:27] those are a pain [13:40:30] oh you're so correct, dear gendered noun language speaker [13:40:36] Ain't got gendered pronouns in my native language personally [13:40:37] can you tell me what gender mediawiki is [13:40:38] The chair (female) [13:40:58] hard to tell if it's an English word and I've never heard anybody use it in German [13:40:58] the chair (female) when the table (male) walks in [13:41:25] time to ask WMDE lol [13:41:26] I tried to write my gf a love letter in Hindi when we first got together but I used all the masculine verbs by mistake [13:41:30] I suppose it's neuter as "Wiki" is too [13:41:48] assigned male by hindi [13:42:50] Although you wouldn't commonly talk about it with a definitive article, e.g. "the mediawiki", as that makes no sense in English either [13:44:35] I mean I guess we kinda have "gendered nouns" in Bangla like "fisherman/fisherwoman" but obviously no genders for the word "chair" [13:45:00] same [13:46:58] I’m all for non gendered terms for stuff like this but just “Fisher” or “Fisherperson” sounds wonky to me [13:47:25] Chairperson [13:47:31] propaganda 😔 [13:47:40] sounds wrong just because you've never heard it [13:48:00] Truly a reflection of the state of the world [13:50:30] I guess we have certain gendered terms which English lacks (such as gendered versions for the words "student" and "teacher") [13:50:46] the sitter [13:51:02] The One Who Sits [13:51:37] Have y'all heard of wplace? [13:52:30] yea i'm painting a huge trans flag in my city [13:52:41] should make a huge miraheze somewhere as well [13:54:13] Last I visited my town it was trans flags, cocaine and Alex from stardew valley [13:54:24] The best of all worlds. [13:54:27] The entire ST community is centred around Auckland Islands [13:55:13] and no deltarune characters???????????? [13:58:11] My country is littered with Deltarune characters [13:58:25] I know damn well 99% of my country hasn't even heard of deltarune [13:58:37] as it should be, such is the natural ecosystem of wplace [13:58:42] In Portuguese also, we use the same words as masc for a group of people with mixed gender [13:58:55] Very close to Spanish [13:58:59] [1/2] Nope [13:58:59] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407000830728732723/IMG_7449.png?ex=68a48322&is=68a331a2&hm=cc8d88b6d04c175993c9f127e9af649905187becc91119a5f72992fafa874ffc& [13:59:12] At least afaik [13:59:18] I remember looking into gender neutral terms in pt [13:59:23] It was an experience [14:00:04] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407001103370817746/image0.jpg?ex=68a48363&is=68a331e3&hm=67feef840e849b211fd3c1003ff33cd0b3551d55cb63c85c8de4a93371838a79& [14:00:06] Funny how we decided to make a random remote island "Skibidi Central" [14:00:31] [1/2] Town below me is where delta rune is located [14:00:31] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407001216696717402/IMG_7450.png?ex=68a4837e&is=68a331fe&hm=fb5803dff35546e46ba6268c1bde0dfbea24506cd5536ece8de62ffcdd847b76& [14:00:35] I guess we battled them off [14:00:37] are you non-binary (neuter), non-binary (masculine), or non-binary (feminine)? [14:00:58] (The main reason Auckland Islands was chosen was because it also happens to be the location of the Cameramen headquarters in-series) [14:01:13] Makes sense. [14:01:29] isolated from the rest of the world... just like how ST fandom is isolated from the rest of the internet [14:01:47] Oh yeah I saw your comment on the blog [14:02:15] Going to go insane [14:03:25] Oh, you did? Neat! [14:04:00] ok but which flavor of masculine are you? masculine or feminine?

[15:55:51] i need it [15:56:19] the discussions you mean? no, it's not a part of MediaWiki software (where actual wiki resides) [15:56:39] `/f` [15:56:47] if you mean the real forums tho, before 2021? [15:57:23] -# before the site design became so ugly [15:57:24] i think it's called "feed" [15:57:38] idk [15:57:41] it was ugly even in 2019 [15:58:18] maybe i could write a python script to archive it but idk where to start honestly [15:58:25] it looked somewhat decent compared to what we have rn [15:58:27] in 2021, or even 2019? they started updating things and merging w/ Gamepedia so they yeted old wiki forums [15:59:09] true [15:59:17] damn [16:01:03] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407031548808663060/image.png?ex=68a49fbe&is=68a34e3e&hm=ca8601297551a237705adaf2e53ba8fb2486a34c29a1f89744b2ecab2bc68ad5& [16:01:07] basically i meant this by forum [16:01:17] not this particular one though [16:01:26] nope [16:01:51] damn so there aren't any tools to archive it [16:02:06] unfortunately nope [16:02:17] aw [16:03:57] We were also kinda sad that we couldn't archive those conversations [16:04:30] you could technically run through it with internet archive but it might take a long time [16:04:36] [1/3] hey uh, is it normal for the mediawiki preview extension to always return this? [16:04:37] [2/3] The page has an image and a name, no plaintext though, could that be it? [16:04:37] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407032445261578291/image.png?ex=68a4a094&is=68a34f14&hm=126aad804a7fc6b5ee7eeceb6e4d332cf4b7f1ae3e207d130601389a7a4adde9& [16:05:18] i know but all the fandom bloat will still be present [16:10:59] You could have Gemini write a crawler script [16:11:40] not gemini 😭 [16:11:49] Or yourself if you can code [16:12:31] i could try doing it myself, i don't want to use ai [16:12:33] From here: [16:12:45] There's a bunch of Discussions API endpoints documented here [16:13:00] thanks! [16:13:03] I have a script that Gemini wrote, that seems to workk, that is crawling the Orion's Arm website rn and has been on and off for over 16 hours now [16:13:15] You can use that to figure out which endpoints to call to retrieve Discussions post content [16:13:34] alright [16:13:41] i can get the comments and the images too? [16:14:03] I really have been crawling the Orion's Arm website on and off for at lest 24 hours I think [16:14:23] Yes, comment API endpoints are also documented there [16:14:37] The ArticleComments controller in this case [16:15:19] alright thanks [16:16:23] I mean it's not an easy thing to make even knowing which endpoints to call [16:16:36] Which I guess is why nobody did it to my knowledge [16:16:57] damn [16:17:16] i mean im going to play around with it using postman/insomnia for a bit [16:20:05] Also the Discussions content is under an exclusive license so if you intended to post that on a wiki it wouldn't be the most legal thing to do [16:20:25] ah [16:21:21] At lest wikis have documeted APIs... that makes life a lot more easy [16:21:25] damn [16:21:34] "Documented" [16:21:56] I am not going to know an API is there if there is no info on it [16:22:21] Fandom doesn't document their shit, this had to be done by users reverse engineering the parameters based on requests sent from their browser [16:23:09] And also, based on their old MW 1.19 codebase which used to be open source [16:23:46] When we figured out `&method=help` exists on Nirvana controllers that made things a bit easier, but they apparently removed that now [16:24:18] is it fine if i like [16:24:24] im just going to archive [16:24:35] Yeah I guess [16:25:26] Wait, they do not doesn't document their rubbish and use an old MediaWiki verson that afiak is only supported by them? [16:25:44] They upgraded from 1.19 in 2020 [16:25:57] What I'm saying is that their extension codebases are no longer open source [16:26:28] I bet even their MediaWiki has close soruce patches [16:26:47] Well no, their MW is open source [16:27:05] It has to be, considering it's licensed under GPL [16:28:29] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407038451890655394/image.png?ex=68a4a62c&is=68a354ac&hm=a3d371739baa1d12a086efe0f93bf47c67bd4a4d52cfa06fd2ab4234e6ec3fd3& [16:28:30] wow [16:28:41] Yeah you have to paginate [16:28:48] ye [16:29:27] Could they not patch in CS closed? [16:33:06] I guess that depends on GPL defines "redistribution" of the software [16:57:21] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407045720107778139/image.png?ex=68a4acf1&is=68a35b71&hm=1dbbc5b06eb93675b4e58df808fad4c25e44e1107692a6c8dab10b70c6996016& [16:57:36] It's been more than a month and I think I'm doing OK with the wiki so far [16:59:30] Also, did Fandom get rid of their forums? I knew they got rid of their on site chat [16:59:56] I'm unsure but I did delete the forum pages from my wiki [17:00:06] they were broken anyway since I haven't set up any forum extensions [17:00:15] I'm not even sure if forum extensions still exist on Miraheze [17:01:08] ok so, I never actually had to care about SEO, I kindly want to dethrone the current wikis for the specific topic, will simple organic traffic automatically do this? [17:01:22] I think one still works? [17:01:27] because the other wikis are completely abandoned [17:01:28] I know some wikis still have a forum [17:01:52] mediawiki makes a fine fourm smh [17:02:21] If a wiki is big enough they could aways make a seperate forum with phpBB or some other software [17:03:19] Undertale.wiki and Deltarune.wiki do this sorta [17:03:22] with discourse [17:04:24] That would probably be useful for me too [17:05:59] I'm coming completely fresh on the topic of SEO for wiki's, can miraheze "dethrone" something like a fandom or wiki.gg if those are abandonware? [17:06:24] it is possible yeah, though difficult [17:06:38] Because for Soulframe, specifically, the only group of people willing to do wiki work is the one I'm running [17:06:47] Even if they're dead and have no content? [17:06:57] oh [17:07:05] wait [17:07:14] you mean an active MH beating an inactive Fandom? [17:07:21] Basically [17:07:48] Also, 20x the sitemap size [17:07:59] that i dont know [17:08:30] I know of wikis like Pressure and PHIGHTING that beat their fandom counterparts [17:10:08] But does Google index individual miraheze pages that have the content of someone's search? Like if our wiki has the only page for "Tetheren" will that show up in Google as an individual article like it does for fandom? [17:11:06] [1/2] well, I just answered my question [17:11:07] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407049180848848916/image.png?ex=68a4b02a&is=68a35eaa&hm=b3ffccbc709704b8a53eb4c8aebd627a7f45ef7d38d8ecf6bb5afaf1b4053f83& [17:12:16] can I change that default "Miraheze" into something else? Like "Soulframe Wiki" [17:14:06] i think you should be able to, but forget how [17:15:18] Is Soul Frame a TTRPG setting or something? [17:16:21] it's an MMORPG "looter shooter" without shooting, think soulslike, but easy. You loot and craft items level them and make fun builds [17:16:34] warframe before warframe [17:16:35] Warframe but fantasy [17:16:38] yeah [17:17:11] We're trying to kickstart talks with the developers to officialize the wiki in some capacity [17:17:31] currently being backed by the staff/admins of the official warframe wiki [17:18:38] Free to play or Pay to play? [17:19:17] free to play [17:19:33] aren't y'all competing with wiki.gg's soulframe wiki [17:19:44] Paid Memberscript like RuneScape? [17:19:54] no, free to play and no aggressive monetization [17:20:12] you pay mostly for skins but can skip grind if you buy items, it's weirdly fair [17:20:19] As I wonder how it will scale up if needed [17:20:22] Ahh, I saw tiefling and wanted to ask [17:20:31] if there's a wiki.gg equivalent you gonna have a hard time [17:20:42] glhf https://soulframe.wiki.gg [17:20:45] not necessarily, we're working with the admins of the wiki.gg fork, they seem to have conceeded [17:20:47] they're behind fandom ofc but their seo is better [17:20:58] that is completely outdated and un-maintained [17:21:14] lmao no changes in the past 7 days [17:21:15] sheesh [17:21:32] a wiki.gg made from scratch destroyed my miraheze fork w/ custom domain in goigle game [17:22:14] these wikis lack community sentiment, will or want to use... Openly regarded as "thrash" in the community... [17:22:23] Glad my wiki is not copyleft now [17:22:36] [1/2] Uhh did I do something wrong? [17:22:36] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407052071219232809/image.png?ex=68a4b2db&is=68a3615b&hm=4a82266e2a2e5239768e09f72ff7d71e5ff802f7cca7900b4ea1a8d1b18ae1c8& [17:22:41] The Fandom verson only had maybe 28-50 pages [17:22:57] Wiki gg ? why? [17:23:17] quality of wiki still largely depends from editors and admins [17:24:07] you can since AVID does that [17:24:10] because they made the fork too soon and had no active community to back it, they were also juggling between the duties of the official wiki for warframe and the wiki for a game in pre-alpha, soulframe [17:24:32] is wiki.gg good? [17:24:33] btw I've been looking for a solid 10 minutes how that was done, still can't find it 🤣 [17:25:21] for soulframe, not really. Currently if you try to figure out how to craft an item, like https://soulframe.miraheze.org/wiki/Tethren you'll fall short of where to get the materials because the pages for the materials don't drop [17:25:34] have this hairy feeling that it's related to having a custom domain [17:25:49] really? [17:25:50] I mean like what are they like when it comes to rules, scrictness, commuity and so on [17:25:51] i can't remember our wiki doing anything special to not have it, but we do have a custom domain [17:26:04] if so that's dumb and should change [17:27:06] The admins are awesome, they are professional due to 10+ years running the official warframe wiki, the thing is, they unfortunately burned the name of the wiki by being too early and not having enough contributors [17:27:41] I thought moving my former wruters over to a new Discord freelancing server was hard [17:28:18] They have conceded in a chat with us and the developers that the knwledge base worth migrating would be ours(avakot) so... Yeah... [17:28:39] idt it's something we can control, this happens for fandom wikis as well [17:28:40] clash of wikis [17:28:52] google seems to do this to all subdomains [17:29:41] ive seen that only w/ custom domains [17:29:47] yeah it's a google thing, that explains why I couldn't find how that was done [17:29:51] idk, I think we have a solid chance, seeing that we quite literally have 20x the amount of pages and therefore the search results should point the user to the best match [17:29:54] Is the skin custom? [17:30:07] I'm currently working on it, it's citizen with a new coat of paint [17:30:11] [1/2] it even happens to metawiki lmfao [17:30:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407053982270095401/image.png?ex=68a4b4a3&is=68a36323&hm=81b6b612877f8d0a238dbaf23f32859f57b4eab293b5e49950481193ccf86442& [17:30:41] I'm trying to replicate our original wiki `wiki.avakot.org/Items/Pacts/odetempest` is a good example of what I'm going for with the new one [17:30:56] but media wiki is not being that nice with me 😅 [17:31:07] having lua natively is crazy tho [17:33:13] I think Fandom's people don't adapt to original Mediawiki system function and democratic process about community such as making policy... [17:34:46] Tbh my wiki has no democratic process and no plans for it [17:35:23] We totally take users' opinions on account and definitely don't implement policies opposed by the majority. [17:35:47] obviously [17:36:00] money speaks louder than the angry masses [17:36:14] Same here with mine, and I run it by myself. [17:36:35] I have one cent and I have right to speak too -- Lu Xun [17:36:57] Yeah no most of the time we just do what's logical, if there are logical disagreements, we will consider them. But if people just oppose because "NOOO I DON'T LIKE IT" we're more likely to ignore such opinions [17:37:16] Is there someone come to Miraheze because anger on Fandom? [17:37:47] We could really care less about the opinion of some 12 year old Discussions addict who never touched the Edit button in their lives. [17:38:03] I did, my wiki forked because of the new AI feature [17:38:37] With mine a change would have to be petitioned for, there would be a min wordcount written and I cna aways deny it [17:39:33] LIke, if I was to add ads, if they did not want ads, they would have to find another stable income soruce I can use [17:40:06] [1/2] I remember Fandom did introduce the AI function [17:40:06] [2/2] But tbh the most annoying thing is that video and wiki not relevant [17:40:18] Not a literal fork in terms of directly copying pages but I tried to revive a fandom wiki back in 2022 and had issues with 1. The ads 2. Couldn't contact the owner so certain admin powers were out of reach and 3. Original wiki was a broader scope than I wanted [17:41:11] Bc the original covered all the shows on an entire podcast network and I only wanted to focus on a couple of shows in the same setting [17:41:38] I remember there is a wiki with same theme but Fandom merge it with bigger one without noticing the author first... [17:42:09] Same theme as my wiki? Or just a thing that they had a habit of doing [17:45:57] I just feel without putting ads on mmy wiki, unless I get stable donations or another income sorce, I cannot afford to keep corving server costs [17:47:41] Yeah, that's a struggle alright [17:53:31] [1/3] needforspeed wiki [17:53:31] [2/3] same theme as nfs wiki [17:53:31] [3/3] after I tried to adopt the former wiki Fandom change that to redirect to nfswiki [19:21:09] I ended up wasting 60 edits on figuring out how to arrange an infobox horizontally. [19:22:25] But eventually figured it out after all of these. [19:29:24] Ctrl + Click on Show Preview can greatly help you figure it out without saving btw [19:29:57] True, since I had to figure it out myself, which was quite a pain for me to deal with. [19:31:13] @platyellow I also make images for my wiki from scratch, which would automatically bypass licensing because I would obviously be the one making the images. [19:32:11] If they aren't derived from other images then sure. [19:32:50] Correct, as images you've pretty much created yourself would be exempt from licensing requirements on Miraheze. [19:37:45] @bitbyte10 in case you didn't see yet, skibidi toilet wiki is in indie wiki buddy now [20:38:00] https://issue-tracker.miraheze.org/T14154 [20:54:06] [1/2] How do I add this sidecard (?) to a page? I'm not sure what it is actually called so I don't know what to look up [20:54:06] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407105297012756500/image.png?ex=68a4e46d&is=68a392ed&hm=d8e4fbec7ca198eca1065222149a30bf46f7f57c6eca65fe2ddbd7e0949a845c& [20:54:13] Infobox [20:54:18] [[infobox]] [20:54:18] [20:54:30] ok, thanks [21:06:25] Anyone working on implementing quickstatements or SPARQL on miraheze? [21:18:58] Don't we already have wikidata on Miraheze? [21:20:17] Wikidata is an instance of wikibase. To my knowledge you cannot run either one with miraheze wikibases [21:22:54] we do not support SPARQL and do not have it planned [21:23:11] Ah I see. Since quickstatements is FOSS (GPL 3.0), it should be possible to self-host it? [21:24:27] basically all of MW is FOSS [21:24:30] We have briefly seriously spoke about looking at wikibase.cloud's setup as its lighter weight than the WMF's but nothing concrete [21:24:37] _stares at Bluespice_ [21:24:41] There is a task [21:25:53] hopefully not old enough to go to kindergarten yet [21:25:57] Let's not planned and more not resourced [21:26:03] No it's only a baby [21:31:08] lets give it a few years then [22:11:34] trying to figure out section transclusion, does the #ifeq parser function only work with two sections [22:11:38] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates#Section_transclusion [22:12:05] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifeq [22:31:33] yes [22:31:59] use a switch if you want more [22:50:13] You can also nest #ifeq statements but those can get pretty complex and you have to keep the logic in line. They're not "if-then-else" but you can replicate with nested if-then, if-then and not forget the last then. [22:51:49] Quick question [22:51:57] [1/2] Can I change this star icon [22:51:57] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407134956198821965/image.png?ex=68a5000c&is=68a3ae8c&hm=39fad5011cfeada2b1e8c3abe836125f04bc6291ae4b6388fd6fda4af7ef5331& [22:52:54] (vector legacy) [22:55:28] Why is your CSS so bright? [22:55:34] ? [22:55:40] What do you mean [22:55:44] It is eyeblindingly brightly colored [22:55:50] It's not done [22:55:59] All the colours are just for testing, etc [22:56:08] Oh, what is your plans for finished color wise? [22:56:19] Either green or blue [22:56:24] Maybe somewhere in between [22:57:19] Anyway, how would I change this star icon [23:01:24] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1407137331957338222/image.png?ex=68a50243&is=68a3b0c3&hm=3eac7ca105325ad146f52beb73a705015543cb0cbad0222c1235f414898095c3& [23:03:21] Cheers [23:12:09] Too resource intensive? [23:26:30] I can't seem to change the image no matter what [23:26:46] [1/4] ```css [23:26:46] [2/4] #ca-unwatch > a:before { [23:26:47] [3/4] background-image: url("https://scribblepedia.miraheze.org/w/img_auth.php/b/be/Scribblepedia_Watched.png"); [23:26:47] [4/4] }``` [23:28:04] No matter what, it doesn't replace it [23:33:38] evil advice: slap an !important on it [23:33:47] [1/2] Specificity is too low. Just replicate the original one and sprinkle a few more selectors on top. [23:33:48] [2/2] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_cascade/Specificity [23:34:01] better advice: ^ [23:39:36] Okay [23:40:27] #ca.unwatch-icon, right?
