[00:28:25] @pixldev problem is still persisting (my login problem) should i just switch browers [00:29:47] Probably yes, I can’t see anything of the problem on meta and can’t investigate a private wiki [01:07:44] Anyone know any social media account that promotes wikis outside Fandom? We really need something like this to let people know there are alternatives [01:12:35] I think we may try to block some OpenAI stuff generally just they still get data [01:12:44] This is more performance [01:13:03] @rhinosf1 could tell you the current stance on full and partial scraper blocks [01:20:20] idk about wiki promo accounts but some people mention their wikis on the subreddit for the topic [01:30:25] Already do this, but a popular Twitter account for promoting independent wikis would be game changer [01:32:54] the issue is the popular part. I don't think there's that many peoplr who just want to know about new independent wikis in general [01:33:19] people have their individual fandom or whatever interests, then they look for a specific wiki for them [01:34:34] I'd be interested to know if something like that existed but it seems unlikely, at least at a meaningful level of popularity [01:35:49] Loads of people complain about Fandom on Twitter everyday. Yeah the acco7bt would need to start from zero, but it's something that miraheze could do on it's account for example [01:36:31] there's an extension called Indie Wiki Buddy or something [01:36:42] can inform them and they'll add yours to their list [01:37:20] it's for independent wikis where a fandom version exists [01:37:32] will redirect and replace google search results [01:38:02] they also have a full list you can browse through, not quite the same thing but yeah [01:40:05] Yeah, I've submitted mine but no answer so far. Still if miraheze could promote its own wikis like Fandom does, that would greatly help. People abandoning Fandom is only to grow more and more, and miraheze is the only real ad free non corporate option [01:47:04] Miraheze doesn't really have any setup or volunteers for promotional stuff and in-house is not quite in order if I'm being honest [01:47:25] we tend to focus on staying afloat and most else beyond that is sluggish [01:47:40] you can submit your wiki to miraheze monthly [01:47:59] which does mean the opportunity to step in, provided confidence in the candidate can be established, is bountiful [01:48:20] miraheze monthly is a lovely thing but only really useful to people within the miraheze ecosystem, and not for promoting it to people who don't know about it [01:52:32] Just automate posts promoting the wikis that sign-up for this on the main Twitter account [01:59:07] we have a bluesky account for good article feed to promote our move [04:52:01] [1/2] The wiki I help work on's search is broken due to CirusSearch. Is this okay to do until CirusSearch gets manually indexed by someone from tech team? or is this a huge no-no? [04:52:01] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1439478089426931723/image.png?ex=691aa9f0&is=69195870&hm=acf17cea506ded893b9ac6f61f1442eec57e45772bce1af7fd717f93e57a8d3e& [04:52:30] (links to a cse.google.com search engine that searches only the wiki) [05:01:00] i don't think miraheze restricts where you link to [05:07:39] If that hangs on for more than a day, you'll want to file a ticket at issue-tracker.miraheze.org [05:08:20] But yes, that'll most likely require tech team assistance to complete [05:09:10] ah okay so should I delete #Search broken and just wait a day? My bad. I saw someone get help here for CirusSearch and didnt realiee it should have been on Issue Tracker [05:09:49] I would leave that up, the support forum channel is a great venue for that as well [05:09:55] thank you 🙂 🙂 [05:10:20] The reason I suggest phorge (issue-tracker) is because that's the tech team's official work venue [05:42:02] there's another earlier https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1436926851305181356/1438270999316398415 [05:51:16] hey so uhh [05:51:36] [1/2] apparently im able to reopen the wiki myself but [05:51:36] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1439493084097548318/image.png?ex=691ab7e7&is=69196667&hm=61c27e5f69c72942a31676b55e3f5e336c3e25113a530da79319299348a2b187& [05:51:37] how......
