[00:33:05] Hullo again! Is there a way to post updates from a certain wiki into a Discord channel? I'd like to keep my friends and aquaintances updated on what I'm doing. An extension or something, perhaps? [00:33:36] Yup [00:33:39] Yes, DiscordNotifications is enabled on all wikis [00:33:50] You can add a webhook via `wgDiscordAdditionalIncomingWebhookUrls` at Special:ManageWiki/settings [00:35:14] Awesome! Do you happen to have a link to the discord bot that allows that functionality, or is it added in some other way? o: Sorry if this is a super basic question, I'm still learning the ropes. [00:37:27] You can create a webhook in the channel settings under "Integrations", then you can copy the URL of the webhook and add it to the aforementioned setting in your wiki [00:38:31] See also for more information on how to create a webhook [00:39:28] Got it working! Thank you so much for the help! That was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. 😄 [00:40:51] Nice, you're welcome [01:30:57] Question, how do I purge all pages? A bureaucrat added an extension (TabberNeu) to the wiki but none of the pages have been updated. When I purged an article, the same article was updated to feature the extension, but the remaining pages didn't. [03:11:50] [1/2] So a request to rename a wiki that I am a bureaucrat for got accepted, however afterwards I cannot log into the wiki. I tried logging into a different wiki and it worked, it's just this specific wiki that got renamed. [03:11:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1440540043000156301/image-4.png?ex=691e86f6&is=691d3576&hm=e9c6a8273520b50500a515c688353e025645b8f5c9df3d3aa1d8bdd7f6e383e5& [03:12:31] [1/13] hey all. im really struggling to get an image background to work. is this correct? im very new, any help appreciated tysm. [03:12:32] [2/13] body, [03:12:32] [3/13] .citizen-page-container, [03:12:32] [4/13] .citizen-body-container, [03:12:33] [5/13] .citizen-body, [03:12:33] [6/13] #citizen-body, [03:12:33] [7/13] #mw-wrapper, [03:12:33] [8/13] #mw-content-text, [03:12:34] [9/13] .mw-body, [03:12:34] [10/13] .mw-body-content, [03:12:35] [11/13] #content { [03:12:35] [12/13] background: url("myurlhere"); [03:12:36] [13/13] } [03:17:07] Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies? [03:22:42] I haven't yet, but I just log in through a different wiki I have never visited (when I found one solution to the issue) and I have access to the renamed wiki while being in my account now. [03:23:58] However it states my account was created, but I used the "Log-In" and not "Create account" on the different wiki, and my notifications are gone. This won't impact my account in any negative way? [03:24:21] what's the best way to go about having translations of a wiki? [03:24:34] What do you mean created? [03:25:46] Depends really [03:26:05] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1440543626634465370/IMG_20251118_192537__01.jpg?ex=691e8a4c&is=691d38cc&hm=be75614f9dcab77b51e47fd323bdf77e9a65b8c8076f6193813a702eaffbb0fe& [03:26:34] Meta Wiki uses [[mw:Extension:Translate]], which is used for a direct transation, ie the English source page is the master copy, parts of the page are marked as sections which can then be translated and reassembled [03:26:35]

[03:27:01] It has some annoying issues but it's really the best option outside of recreating an entirely seperate wiki [03:27:09] Yeah that's totally fine [03:27:29] Ah alright thank you for clarifying, was getting worried I broke my account or something [03:27:32] Actually [03:27:33] mmmm [03:27:40] No yeah I think that's right [03:27:48] Since it's a different database name [03:28:06] i managed to get one color to appear but i wanna use uhh, an image yk. [03:28:15] @blankeclair to confirm a renamed wiki will create a new local account attachment right? [03:28:36] ? [03:28:57] ah, i see what you're asking [03:29:00] uhhhhhhhh idk ^^; [03:29:07] Wiki had a db name change, crat account had a new entry for autocreation [03:29:17] huh, odd [03:29:19] fair fair :thumbsup: [03:29:34] I mean. If nothing seems broken it's probably fine right™ [03:29:45] probably lol [03:29:50] CA is a mystical beast [03:31:23] link to wiki? [03:31:36] If you can't post a link make sure you #verify [03:38:11] The answer is CSS, but the exact method will depend on the 'skin' (layout) that your wiki is using. [03:38:37] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:How_to_customise_the_look_of_my_wiki as a starting point [03:49:55] hi there. i have a question about User rights on my wiki. Is this the right place? [03:50:12] Sure, we'll answer if we're able [03:50:45] I believe Bureaucrats cannot demote other Bureaucrats, but can make someone into a Bureaucrat... correct? [03:51:00] Yes [03:51:37] I am often too busy to keep a close eye on the wiki but there is a new Bureaucrat and I just wanted to know if someone else at the wiki promoted them, or if one of the Stewards may have [03:52:00] You can check Special:Log/rights I think [03:52:06] What's the wiki in question? [03:52:32] leftypedia.miraheze.org [03:52:38] (if you'd like to disclose, that is. I am a steward and can pretty quickly figure it out) [03:53:40] yeah i did check the log and also the specific user perms log for that user – it says nothing at all [03:54:03] In this case, it was probably done via MetaWiki, confirming now [03:54:42] [1/2] Yep: [03:54:43] [2/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log?logid=1516008 [03:54:58] sorry, fumbling with irc on mobile. what did you say? [03:55:15] oh i see [03:55:18] Confirmed, it was an add by stewards [03:55:19] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log?logid=1516008 [03:55:21] adoption.... [03:55:31] i made sure that i made edits more than every six months [03:56:16] and i understood the policy to mean that even after six months the wiki will become "dormant" or something. as i said I don't have the time to make edits but I do moderate and watch the wiki [03:56:56] I have reason to believe this person is someone who has attempted to take control of the wiki in the past. is there a process I should initiate? [03:57:44] If you'd like to request removal, not a problem. please file a request at https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions requesting removal, doesn't require anything other than saying the wiki is maintained and the appointed rights are not needed. [03:58:30] Wondering if it wouldn't be worth considering a 'drop a heads up on the talks of the local crats' point to adoption [03:59:15] awesome, thank you so much. thats all I have to say? [03:59:41] Yes, pretty much. I'll likely be the one to action it, so I have context [04:01:23] pixldev, I'm not sure what you are saying [04:01:42] (That was a comment to me about considering policy adjustments, not a worry) [04:08:10] ^ Yup, a comment on our policy, not specifically this case [04:16:12] ok, im back. what should i do now? [04:17:24] I don't see a removal request from you at https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions [04:17:29] That's the next step [04:18:12] yeah I tried using the tool [04:18:17] filled in all the blanks [04:19:14] i can try it again [04:19:53] I was able to do it succesfully, please feel free to edit my 'request' with your information, replacing my signature with [04:20:43] Ah, it worked on the second try, thanks [04:21:07] oh yeah i see it there now [04:21:15] thanks a ton for your help [04:24:16] if what you were talking about earlier was notifying admins of wiki adoption, yeah that might be helpful since i admit i only checked the moderator feed since i knew who did and who didn't have permission to post without review... not knowing there was a new bureaucrat [04:28:56] Yep, the wiki did otherwise fall under our normal inactivity policies for adoption, we generally aren't checking moderation logs but will be doing so going forward. Will chat internally about how we should best correct this to ensure local administration is given a heads up going forward. [04:29:22] (When there are signs of life within x days but further back than current window) [04:33:00] I see... so I was mistaken about the criteria? i thought it was no edits for six months [04:33:25] thanks so much again for your help [04:34:19] hm. looks like 120 days i.e. 4 months [04:34:20] Not a problem. I will leave a message for the user explaining the situation, so due warning they may reach out to discuss additional permissions and are entitled to start a local election to regain rights. [04:35:09] how would an election work? opening a thread to let users post? there is a way to prevent sock puppets in that situation i assume? [04:35:22] Yes, we can vet sockpuppetry through a few routes if that's done [04:35:30] got it. sounds good [04:37:31] If they're contributing positively and you'd prefer direct appointment, you can do that yourself under Special:UserRights, but at your discretion [04:50:02] can ip get notified if i add `[[User:]]` and `` in the same edit? [04:51:05] where linking to `[[User:]]` is a bit weird bc it's banned from creating [05:03:57] how do i enable dark mode on monobook [05:12:26] [1/2] https://sylvius.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [05:12:26] [2/2] here it is, did i do that right? [05:16:42] Is it possible to change the page name? For example, I'd like to change a page from `Playable Races/Humans` to just `Humans`. [05:16:57] Yup [05:17:12] There should be a button for move page depending on your skin [05:17:20] or Special:Move/Page [05:17:31] i think? I may have the exact name wrong [05:17:39] {{mw:Help:Move}} [05:17:41]

[1/2] [05:17:42]

[2/2] Not the correct result? Use `!wiki !!www.mediawiki.org page Help:Move` for a direct link or `!wiki !!www.mediawiki.org search Help:Move` for a list of all hits. [05:17:43] Ah! Yep, I got it. I didn't realize that was what that was for. 😄 Thank you! [05:18:05] Gee thanks thats sure what i asked for :Kek: [05:18:10] Anytime [05:18:47] so i can only try it myself logged out to confirm? [05:23:17] how [07:02:03] is DarkMode extension enabled? [07:31:26] Pywikibot and AWB are some of your choices. [07:32:57] [1/2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Theme this extension has a dark theme, though I don't know how good it is. [07:32:58] [2/2] Besides that, https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:How_to_improve_the_dark_mode_appearance_of_my_wiki [08:31:03] i enabled both theme and darkmode extensions, how do i enable them [09:00:15] [1/2] if DarkMode is enabled there must be a switch somewhere already, to Dark mode [09:00:15] [2/2] however, Monobook is an old skin and I don't think I've seen it in dark mode ever [09:02:28] it's there, must be near profile links [09:03:08] with a 🌜 [09:03:56] however, this extension isn't very smart and requires some tweaks to look nice, see the help page Petra linked [09:08:20] actually [09:08:31] instead of dark mode how can i change the wiki to like [09:08:33] a custom color [09:08:37] CSS [09:08:38] lik the pizza tower wiki [09:08:45] here we go again lol [09:08:59] Haven't you already had this conversation with that same example? [09:09:13] it's flattering that people look up but this is too high level [09:09:25] probably w/ another users [09:09:45] you gotta understand what are you doing, start w/ small steps, basic CSS things [09:10:03] Yup, I'm just getting people confused. [09:10:20] alright ill do those first [09:10:25] thx for the help [09:10:26] ! [09:11:27] [09:12:09] ok ill read this [10:18:15] Is there a way to change the category pages so that when it's full it doesn't go to a next page [10:18:20] its just all one page [10:24:25] [1/2] try to change this setting, not sure if it's possible for individual categories [10:24:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1440648905686519919/Screenshot_20251119-132348.png?ex=691eec59&is=691d9ad9&hm=33aa220a5a707c0b62f0f21191ef2482b5d0b3cc61d75ed7190fc1e51f804e80& [10:24:38] i hope i understood your question [10:24:44] ooooh ok [10:24:47] ill get back to u [10:25:14] how many pages in category you got?

[10:27:58] i wish there was a way to make it so sections in a category didn't wrap weirdly [10:28:30] maybe w/ css tweaking [10:28:35] hmmm [10:28:41] could depend on skin too [10:28:49] I'm using timeless if that helps lol [10:29:00] i think in timeless category headers are separate from normal page headers [10:29:08] i believe so [10:29:28] im not sure. i have to redo all of my website css because i've learned a lot of css recently and looking at my old unlabeled stuff makes me wanna lowkey die [10:29:38] lol feel ya [10:29:40] but i don't want to redo it bc thats effort lmao [10:29:58] hmm i could probably. hm [10:30:05] when i was forking my old fandom wiki here i was burying my head in my hands [10:30:18] this is my first time ever working on a wiki lol i've had it a bit over a year [10:30:31] the arsenal wiki recently changed its subdomains and now it seems that templatestyles is broken ? 😵 [10:30:32] well like ive done stuff before on this wiki but ive never done a wiki before this [10:30:34] tried purging and all [10:30:54] ugh this is making me realize my css is so fucking boring [10:30:59] bro i need to get my shit together [10:31:15] https://acosaa.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page head in hands [10:31:39] [1/2] domain change doesn't affect such things [10:31:39] [2/2] im not sure what is broken tbh [10:32:44] im wondering what i should do with my css because its so....
