You guys think that this would be the site to do that on? [00:32:03] the scp wikidot works likes this and im doing the same thing right now with my wiki [00:32:12] so i think it should be good [00:33:18] Wikidot…. [00:34:15] its like a dying elderly old man thats still somehow kickin [00:35:42] scp wiki is planning to move off of it too [00:36:31] really? how come [00:36:44] wikidot is unmaintained [00:37:21] and is again like a dying old elderly man [00:38:03] I use wikidot for DND stuff when I don't want to use the books [00:41:11] Their Technical Team has been working on a fork/rewrite of Wikidot for a good while to move onto [00:41:24] As part of Project Foundation [00:42:04] It still seems to be, not abandoned? But as far as actual heavy development goes, it seems pretty slow going:( [00:42:33] they should just move onto fandom /j [00:42:52] https://github.com/scpwiki/wikijump [00:43:09] [1/2] Change "AC Roblox Group" to `[https://link AC Roblox Group]` [00:43:09] [2/2] Yes, this is essentially duplicating lines you've written. Templates are nice for this sorta thing. [00:43:56] The FAQ post is from 2018, yeesh [00:49:07] Is this only for hyperlinks or also question above? [00:53:08] It should work for all general hyperlinks...? [00:53:44] You change the parameter after the image filename basically [01:08:03] I did that and it didn't change the placeholder image, removed it and it didn't disappear [01:15:54] Oh i meant my answer was for the second question (how to change my captions into hyperlinks), not the placeholder image question [01:22:46] [1/2] From [01:22:46] [2/2] Assuming you've ported this template, you want to change the colour codes `background: #25883d;`, replace `[[File:{{{image|Placeholder.png}}}|150px]]` with `` [01:23:20] Sometimes adding `text-align: center;` to the styles works in centering the contents, sometimes it doesn't [01:56:02] Ok thanks πŸ‘ [02:38:41] [1/3] how can i fix whatever this issue is?

I've updated the image on the wiki, but the infobox in the article still has the old image. How can I make it new? [13:36:04] Best you can do is wait. The long answer is that images are cached on the server's side, and these are slow to update. You can't do anything on your end since the issue is on MH's end. [13:37:35] Oh well okay, thanks for the reply! [14:35:33] You're in my head! -Pink Floyd [14:45:11] Alright so how is Miraheze doing right now? It’s been a while since I checked Miraheze [14:48:21] In what regard [14:52:18] Oh no :0πŸ™‚β€β†”οΈ [14:53:05] Regarding the future of the wikifarm [14:53:10] As well as right now [14:53:20] Hopefully one wrong move won’t cause a critical disaster [14:54:09] Unlikely [14:54:35] Miraheze is looking extremely stable currently, on the technical infrastructure side and the [[Finances]] [14:54:36] [15:03:52] Whew [15:50:20] What's the difference between Mbox and Ambox? Is one made with a module and the other with html? [15:51:11] Where [15:51:16] i don't think they're some standard names. you can name any template with the names [15:51:17] On dev? [15:51:31] Yeah [15:51:35] well wikipedia too [15:51:52] My recollection was that ambox was just mbox specifically for articles [15:52:14] there are also fmbox ombox etc on dev [15:52:30] just for different pages [15:52:55] very confusinf [15:53:06] it's just wikipedia approach [15:53:16] which is, again, can get very complicated [15:53:54] i started wiki editing w/ fandom and looked at older big wikis as examples when i started admining my own wiki [15:54:22] i noticed [[dev:template:mbox/styles.css]] specifies background-color but not color [15:54:30] [15:54:32] bad styling [15:54:47] may be unreadable on wikis with dark theme [15:55:00] is it cause wikipedia has lots of pages (and needs a stronger organization while so)? [15:55:22] pretty much [15:55:24] enwiki template land is beyond the comprehension of our mortal muggle minds [15:55:36] well im very sure they can fix that themselves [15:56:15] i thought dev is meant to provide premade universal solutions for all wikis [15:56:21] I'm just gonna use the one that uses a module instead [15:58:43] [1/2] i mean, supporting dark mode will require more work [15:58:44] [2/2] and if I'm going to take templates from dev while tweaking whole look of the wiki, even w/o dark, I'm going to change things in template styling anyway [15:59:18] ah exactly [15:59:55] `Background color inline style rule exists without a corresponding text color` is a lint error [16:00:09] [[dev:Special:LintErrors]] [16:00:10] [16:00:31] how many skins in miraheze support dark mode? i know citizen and mirage support them (mirage's dark mode thing was recently enabled) [16:00:33] so templatestyles may also follow similar convention> [16:01:08] +the default vector-2022 [16:02:27] https://support.wiki.gg/wiki/Template:Ambox wiki.gg uses ambox as it's main message box, i wonder why? (it's also entirely made with html, I'm now wondering which one is easier to use. Module or HTML?) [16:02:40] i believe lakeus supports it too [16:06:54] both are easy to use bc there are detailed template docs [16:07:41] difference lays in which one is easier to import and customize [16:08:28] the module one is probably easier to customize [16:52:35] [1/2] Indirectly thorough https://communities.miraheze.org/wiki/List_of_wikis_by_Meta_referrals [16:52:36] [2/2] Would've been easier if Matomo is still publicly accessible by default, but one can dream. [16:53:32] Ours doesn't show up there 😒 [16:53:50] Does it use vector 2022 [16:53:57] oh, it's citizen lol [16:54:45] I know for a fact that last month we got 3.5k incoming, but that's just via google, there's way more traffic from organic sharing [16:54:52] [1/3] It shouldn't be a problem for most templates since they just use the default class without the fancy ones. [16:54:52] [2/3] The linter is also wrong because when you specify `background-color: var(--background-color-base, #f8f9fa);` you don't need a color. [16:54:53] [3/3] The other classes such as `.messagebox.merge` and `.messagebox.cleanup` are still problematic but I didn't bother to fix them. You can if you'd like. I just don't think it's worth the effort. [16:57:04] If you make your Matomo analytics public it'll be easier to compare. For reference, https://strinova.org/wiki/Special:Analytics?period=31 gets about 30,000 visits last month and is also not on the list. [16:58:34] awesome, will do! :) [17:14:41] hi @posix_memalign ! regarding the miraheze communities wiki, how do i capitalise my wiki's name? https://communities.miraheze.org/wiki/Untitled_tag_game_wiki [17:17:09] i think you'll have to move the page [17:17:58] i'm a little afraid i might mess up the bot stuff idk [17:33:14] [1/2] oof [17:33:15] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1435321004745293964/image0.jpg?ex=690b8a5a&is=690a38da&hm=88bc15a2b859d1cf5241dc9f874e91cabb8a952636a1a9b35720f846b80c99cd& [17:38:36] [1/2] What's the size limit for this? or where can I find out [17:38:37] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1435322354887561326/Capture.PNG?ex=690b8b9c&is=690a3a1c&hm=e2e8247fa34edd6845b809933747e53c05f3058e8b5aca03f3e4b8daa97b6b85& [17:42:03] I think it has happened to other users in the past. Not sure what's going on. Refreshing the page might help? If not, other debugging procedures would be necessary. [17:42:20] could it be that thing where it detects you for spam? [17:47:38] [1/2] Oh that's also possible. The AbuseFilter might be acting up. [17:47:38] [2/2] The easiest workaround is to make sure that the database name is correct and leave the URL to the bot, I suppose. [17:47:40] [1/2] That one is so incompetent and asshole-ish, and supports people who steal ideas, I didn't expect that! Well, since I'm not needed here, I'm out of here! Too sad! But we know what one says: the biggest assholes are always the most successful!

[17:48:44] i can count 4 [17:49:30] always same heated behavior [17:50:04] as much as we tried to explain how things work/should be he doesn't seem to comprehend [17:50:58] what happened there? [17:51:48] may or may not have done a PR for my own phorge task and didnt realise he already had a PR filed for me.... [17:52:16] His PR was named "Update" lmao [17:52:18] what a name [17:57:59] Ye he doesn't get to ask if you're blind [17:58:16] He can either withdraw the remark and grow up or find somewhere else to be childish [17:58:44] I mean if the title actually said what was inside the PR, would be easier to see [17:58:49] What is Project:Policy page for? [18:13:00] stating your wiki's policy [18:35:37] is there a list of all official miraheze wikis? e.g metawiki commonswiki [18:40:31] Communities wiki was probably never declared official [18:40:34] It's relatively new [18:40:47] I think it would need to go to RfF [18:41:23] There's also [[Miraheze projects]] [18:41:29] [18:41:34] Communities wiki is not (yet) official. There was a discussion about making it official a while back. I think the only blocker right now is the logo. [18:42:28] communities should be purpleheze πŸ‘€ [18:42:44] Being official doesn't really mean much though [18:45:13] [1/2] There was a purple design in https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1417302767977894000/1429364296055525376. In the end we thought a variety of colors would indicate the diversity within MH wikis and settled with https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1417302767977894000/1430121197018021898. Ro had some more suggestions but they didn [18:45:13] [2/2] 't get implemented for being quite involved in terms of workload. [18:50:42] I think the main advantage is in advertising. There's more concern about promoting an unofficial project compared with an official one. When MH Monthly left user namespace, it seemed a lot more appropriate to put it up on Meta's main page. [18:51:40] I think that's fair [18:51:47] When my wiki finally gets created, how will I be notified? [18:51:54] But I think being official is quite literally just a rubber stamp [18:52:02] There isn't really anything that actually changes [18:52:12] Email and notification on wiki I think [18:52:22] Most are created pretty fast unless it went to human review [18:52:35] I assume it went to human review 😒 [18:52:50] You should be able to tell in the request comments [18:54:15] guys do you think why some videos i upload are becoming mp3's even though files formats are mp4 [18:54:16] How do I check that again? πŸ˜… [18:54:28] is miraheze down [18:54:43] [[Special:RequestWikiQueue]] @bitbyte10 [18:54:44] [18:54:48] No [18:55:15] do you think why some videos i upload are becoming mp3's even though files formats are mp4 [18:55:57] That sentence makes absolutely no sense but do you have an example [18:55:59] Ok did my request even go through? [18:56:10] What's your username [18:56:16] BitByte10 [18:56:37] sorry [18:56:47] Doesn't look like it [18:56:52] So i upload videos but when i run them they become voice files [18:56:54] Well shit [18:56:57] they act like mp3s [18:57:24] Open a #support thread with a link to an example [18:57:27] Someone will look [19:01:45] I think I know why it didn't go through the first time (me being very silly) [19:02:21] i checked other browsers and my phone it works [19:02:26] And it's created wow [19:02:28] i think its about the brpwser i use: brave [19:02:51] Didn't have to wait 2 days for ts 😒 [19:04:43] Timeless properly works on mobile right? [19:06:22] yes [19:08:46] Can you make timeless have separate light and dark modes without funky extensions? [19:13:42] Oh wait I forgot I have zero obligation to support both modes [19:13:52] Sorry light mode users [19:18:08] themetoggle is better than darkmode, just needs more precise css [19:27:24] [1/2] One thing I don't like about themetoggle is how janky the default toggle is. It may work for wiki.gg but looks out of place on almost every skin on Miraheze. There are issues like https://github.com/wiki-gg-oss/mediawiki-extensions-ThemeToggle/issues/43 for which I sent a patch. Some other choices in terms of font size and toggle size look really odd but I'm not sure what is a [19:27:24] [2/2] good fix. [19:28:10] themetoggle and a load of selectors to invert icons could work [19:29:00] but yeah it's not one of the ones with a theme selector built-in [19:29:25] these and maybe some others [19:47:14] [1/2] that i agree, we had to tweak the toggler itself [19:47:15] [2/2] if they're to share w/ other mw instances, a more neutral style would be nicer [20:29:55] Hello [20:30:23] Hi! [22:18:13] Hello everyone, whats everyone up to? [22:34:06] It's tuesday evening. Miraheze is often quite silent. Not much going on. [22:40:32] [1/2] Is it a good idea to have many categories or should I turn them into pages? (I've got categories for lore, vehicles, weapons, mechanics, departments, and others) [22:40:32] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1435398335920996392/Capture.PNG?ex=690bd25f&is=690a80df&hm=433916f1021fc60cb9e3baecbfd216bee8a2ed67998af310c148fc12b73f1735& [22:41:35] [1/3] oh and how do i center these [22:41:35] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1435398601026175148/Capture1.PNG?ex=690bd29e&is=690a811e&hm=21e24e59f3e35f69cae7354708c89c6c1d4a6cd3b994cbfef10c376137e2b93d& [22:41:35] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1435398601416118462/Capture.PNG?ex=690bd29e&is=690a811e&hm=612022c684079061d412a56a9a9df7c174a7ba30461f18e03b91794cd795af4c& [23:05:40] [1/2] A lot of categories are good, to me I try to only create them if there are 5 or more pages I can attach to it, though that might change on my wiki. [23:05:41] [2/2] It's ok to reverse course on your decisions though, whatever you decide to do now. You can change later if you feel it necessary. [23:19:44] And you can use a CategoryTree to have a quick overview, like I have https://jwmeeting.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Top
