[04:36:18] TIL that RecentChanges is broadcasted by MW using UDP in the default case [06:08:11] That makes a lot of sense since UDP's unreliability matters less when sent via localhost. [12:02:39] How can I add Categories buttons to a main page? As in large, square buttons that link to different categories (tried google and didn't get useful info on how but only on how to add a page to a category [12:24:03] [1/2] [[:Category:Category name|Display text]] [12:24:03] [2/2] Will link the category like a regular blue link. I presume you can do |link=Category for an image as well. [12:26:39] [1/7] Try using gallery [12:26:39] [2/7] ``` [12:26:39] [3/7] [12:26:40] [4/7] VOCALOIDlogo.png|[[:Category:VOCALOID songs|VOCALOID]]|link=Category:VOCALOID songs|alt=A link to the VOCALOID songs category on Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki [12:26:40] [5/7] Synthvlogo.png|[[:Category:Synthesizer V songs|Synthesizer V]]|link=Category:Synthesizer V songs|alt=A link to the Synthesizer V songs category on Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki [12:26:40] [6/7] /gallery [12:26:41] [7/7] ``` [12:26:55] [[mw:Help:Images]] [12:26:56]

[12:28:14] You can change the filenames with whichever images (or even just an image containing a blank coloured box) you use [12:33:38] The more complicated way is to write `span`/`div` elements enclosed in wikitext link syntax, i.e. `[https:// ... /span]` [13:44:18] I'm not very experienced in scripting but do I replace all Vocaloid and Synthv stuff? [13:46:31] [1/2] Yup. My example makes two buttons. [13:46:32] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1434901561305468999/Screenshot_2025_1103_204616.png?ex=690a03b7&is=6908b237&hm=3e73a43f4dcd68bec57630224a8def9021ac4b53f70d6df8d2599632f658ef9a& [13:46:35] [1/7] Like this? [13:46:36] [2/7] ``` [13:46:36] [3/7] [13:46:36] [4/7] Some.png|[[:Category: CategoryName|Name]]|link=Category:CategoryName|alt=Desc [13:46:37] [5/7] Some.png|[[:Category: CategoryName|Name]]|link=Category: CategoryName|alt=Desc [13:46:37] [6/7] /gallery [13:46:37] [7/7] ``` [13:47:08] Yeah this looks good. [13:47:23] Ok thanks 👍 [13:47:46] Also, does it need any changes depending on Wiki Style? Or is it an automatic thing [13:48:44] You can style it using CSS if you want, but all the code I gave you comes out of the box from MediaWiki [13:49:23] Ok thanks 👍 (never used css so I'm prob gonna suffer to make it look good lol) [14:02:12] How long does it take for a wiki to be reviewed again? [14:29:18] How long is a piece of string? 😉 [14:29:30] found an interesting fact. the only function of the option is making the variable `{{USERLANGUAGE}}` work; however, install myvariables ext and `{{USERLANGUAGECODE}}` does exactly the same thing as `$wgParserEnableUserLanguage` = on + `{{USERLANGUAGE}}` [14:37:38] I hate you [14:37:53] Bit excessive. [14:37:54] Any approximate range at least? 😢 [14:38:09] https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-shocked-how-dare-you-shock-shocking-gif-11277509288657991552 [14:48:13] From now until it gets approved 👍 hope this helps [14:48:39] Spledid! [14:48:57] Did you know Skibidi Toilet and Adam Goodman have something in common? [14:55:25] The real answer isn't anything better. Just as ita a volunteer run service, so it shouldn't be too long hopefully. [14:58:08] how long does you not get global ban on fandome?🤔 [15:34:33] are they on a toilet 24/7 [15:34:55] They are from the same company! [15:34:59] and toilet [15:35:05] and toilet [15:35:13] and skibidi [19:55:12] [1/3] Is there a guide for styling in CSS? I've never used CSS and I want to make stuff like Category buttons (Instead of bare links) with rounded edges n stuff and how can I put them in a larger box like a container but just for the buttons? Will show a pic if that's not understandable cause Idk how to explain this (Don't want it to have things like clicking to show more like usual in Wi [19:55:12] [2/3] kipedia sections) [19:55:13] [3/3] (Using citizen skin) [19:59:59] We have some on meta wiki for specific changes I think [20:00:34] The exact thing you asked for probably wouldn’t be included, someone here probably knows though [20:08:18] Should I use AI for this then? [20:09:53] `[[:category:somecat|somecat/span]]` makes a button-like link [20:10:11] Mmmmmmmmm. It likely would be able to generate the CSS for the desired effect, but LLMs tend to be, not good with mediawiki and its quirks, so having a human explanation is usually preferred (on the CSS side for actually understanding how the things do the things, and on where to actually put the code in a wiki) [20:10:44] Yeah, stuff like this with innate mw classes are things I’m not confident most LLMs really know of or have a competent grasp of [20:16:27] from my experience, chatgpt does have some knowledge on mediawiki, but often with hallucination [20:17:02] it often suggests classes or apis from its Imagination [20:24:57] it does feel like playing chess with a kid, where it's a really creative move to take my knight like that, however a pawn can't jump the four pieces in front of it [20:42:15] Actually, would using other wikis to learn how be a good way? Like star citizen wiki since it's protected and I can copy source code to see how it's done [21:26:33] [1/2] A lot of CSS is studying other wikis or sites with Inspect Element and testing it on your own site! If you're looking for rounded edges, I've got some inline styling on [this template]( ) (which is like the span class that Honoka55 mentioned): [21:26:33] [2/2] And some more detailed CSS for button-esque styling here: (which applies to [this template]()) [21:46:05] [1/2] how can i use table line break "|-" inside a template vairable [21:46:05] [2/2] {{{skills}}} [21:51:43] pipe escape - type `{{!}}` instead of `|` [21:52:08] (you don't need to create a template for that, it's a parcer function) [22:02:08] [1/3] ```|moves={{aBite}}{{!}}-{{aAnesthesia}}``` [22:02:08] [2/3] hmm seems like im doing it wrong [22:02:08] [3/3] If i want a line break between {{aBite} and {{aAnethesia}} [22:02:09]

[22:04:36] [1/4] line break in table has to be on new line, it breaks otherwise [22:04:37] [2/4] `|.... [22:04:37] [3/4] |- [22:04:37] [4/4] |....` [22:04:52] even inside a template or a function [22:04:59] Ohhh [22:05:01] magic [22:05:02] tysm [22:05:30] [1/3] like [22:05:31] [2/3] `{{#if: ...| [22:05:31] [3/3] {{!}} ...|...}} [22:06:03] for that reason i don't like using wiki table code inside templates lol [22:06:11] i go w/ HTML [22:06:21] ah yes the superior lang
