[01:33:36] i thought it was something that got coded in [01:33:41] i confused it w the navboxes [01:46:48] just realized that i have to make a quote template [04:48:06] silly question [04:49:56] [1/13] i'm running a python bot that is diffing full old builds of Team Fortress 2 from 2007-2013, and exporting the build diffs + file content diffs to my wiki. i've got a sleep time in between edits and it's currently this: [04:49:56] [2/13] ```py [04:49:56] [3/13] for attempt in range(3): [04:49:57] [4/13] time.sleep(EDIT_DELAY + random.uniform(0.3, 1.0)) [04:49:57] [5/13] r = self.s.post(self.api, data={ [04:49:57] [6/13] "action":"edit","title":title,"text":text, [04:49:58] [7/13] "token":token,"format":"json","assert":"user","bot":1 [04:49:58] [8/13] }).json() [04:49:58] [9/13] if "edit" in r and r["edit"]["result"] == "Success": [04:49:59] [10/13] return [04:49:59] [11/13] time.sleep(RETRY_BASE_DELAY (2 * attempt)) [04:50:00] [12/13] ``` [04:50:00] [13/13] Should I increase the random.uniform thing a bit? maybe 5.0, 10.0? i don't want to kill the miraheze servers [05:09:20] Hi, what should I know as a new wiki crat? [05:33:26] [1/2] I hope I am not fucking shit up lol [05:33:27] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1484786999218143293/21D9DD42-B889-4EE1-86FE-548C5920EF9A.png?ex=69bf7f26&is=69be2da6&hm=8765c03123c27c3d4bd7b7cd6a9f9728642cbcf8bcc1b7c19e8ea8180c6c4373& [05:56:32] wrong file url to use; use the static.wikitide.net one [05:56:39] on the file page copy image address from the image [05:56:53] also i donttt think favicons support gifs [05:57:51] so just icon and logo? [05:57:53] ty [05:59:15] @whostacking [06:00:26] all three values [06:00:36] i'm fried [06:00:51] favicon, icon, logo [06:02:44] and I have to use the static.wikitide.net one right? [06:09:45] ye [06:30:04] alright i'm confused, so do I just upload an ICO file onto the wiki then get the static.wikitide.net page so it applies [06:30:49] how do i even get the static.wikitide.net link [06:35:14] Go to the File: page, click to view the original file [06:35:20] Then copy that url [06:35:30] And yes, ico for favicon [07:36:36] [1/2] do yall know how to add an image to this 🥹 [07:36:37] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1484817995007135775/image.png?ex=69bf9c04&is=69be4a84&hm=648d59129cb360f8bfcefc967e15ac5679d36f8197cf4a6ed3faddee5320a6d9& [07:53:55] You got to upload it onto the wiki and also remove the whitespace characters along with this. [08:05:04] alr [08:06:09] 👍🏻 [08:41:52] did a bit of searching, these whitespaces are confusing me [08:46:39] [1/2] Is there a way to assign line numbering to lines of text on a page? [08:46:39] [2/2] Our wiki hosts some longerform source text like lyrics and we want to be able to more precisely cite these line-by-line. While I could just put them all in a table and manually number, I feel like there has to be a way to display this better. And table formatting would make any copy-pasting from the page awkward. [08:47:24] All I can think is doing some kind of css styling. I've done css before but not like that. [09:08:08] I just manully added the line numbers [09:08:16] Definitely doable. You'd need a Lua module that splits text line-by-line, add unselectable line numbers in front, and then format them properly. [09:09:53] [1/3] I wrote something that performs the splitting part as well, which can be used as a reference, but the line number feature you'd have to figure out yourself. [09:09:53] [2/3] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Module:Lyrics [09:09:53] [3/3] Perhaps somewhere on the Internet someone has written something similar on a wiki, but you'll have to look really hard for it. [09:20:45] Thank you! I have keywords for what I'm looking for now haha. Appreciate it. [11:58:00] miraheze servers ain't dying from a 2 second interval, if you were really in danger of causing serious harm you'd get throttled. if you're worried about page size then make the content of your edits more efficient idk [12:02:35] [1/2] hello awesome mediawiki Peeps [12:02:36] [2/2] i wanna use awb to kill some unused infobox param from like 500+ pages [12:02:52] [1/5] its like your standard [12:02:53] [2/5] {{Infobox [12:02:53] [3/5] |param1 = balh [12:02:53] [4/5] |param2 = ig [12:02:53] [5/5] }} [12:03:07] and i wanna kill param2 along with everything in it [12:03:15] (without leaving a random gap in it ofc) [12:03:38] [1/2] it might be harder if the infobox is structured like this [12:03:38] [2/2] {{Infobox|param1 = ok|param2 = haha|param3 = ok}} [12:03:54] some pages have it structured like that idk why (prolly visualeditor moment) [12:08:11] [1/8] what I would do there is use pywikibot, use mwparserfromhell to parse the infobox, then reconstruct the entire thing from the parameters I've chosen. however that would transform `{{Infobox|param1 = ok|param2 = haha|param3 = ok}}` to ``` [12:08:11] [2/8] {{Infobox [12:08:11] [3/8] |param1 = ok [12:08:11] [4/8] |param2 = haha [12:08:12] [5/8] |param3 = ok [12:08:12] [6/8] }}``` [12:08:12] [7/8] if that's what you want then the code's at https://battlecats.miraheze.org/wiki/User:TheWWRNerdGuy/scripts#fixsections.py [12:08:13] [8/8] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1484886337583841370/image.png?ex=69bfdbaa&is=69be8a2a&hm=074a8c556fe97d976d3f420fe454519719d6418de243849cb0c230bea3a77bbb& [12:12:47] [1/3] how do I make a table like this for my wiki? is it just the same code or do I need some template or smth? I know the gold silver and bronze are templates btw [12:12:47] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1484887495870251198/2db58961d39a3fc30ee80a4a250e47d0.png?ex=69bfdcbe&is=69be8b3e&hm=d22b8af36c2afa83f5aae41a71bdfe0cc99f0e86266e7e0518e7cb4e370d7621& [12:12:48] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1484887496272773210/326af19ad7d8dbd0c06bd1d1bc35ac9b.png?ex=69bfdcbe&is=69be8b3e&hm=2042e7d476d2c3e608560a606cfc6ee8090fe2122eea5833b2d8a030dda9beb1& [13:01:24] You can use the same code, it should appear the same in your wiki as there's nothing extra in there. [13:02:00] If you are looking to do this on multiple pages you could also take a look at making it a template. [14:06:58] !remindme to write a template format cleaner on jswikibot/other [14:08:41] [1/2] honestly this is why you should add`` on your templates, then remember to set`format` on your ``: [14:08:41] [2/2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:TemplateData#Custom_formats [14:11:07] tbf its like that because [14:11:21] lotta people in the fandom wiki didnt know how to use source editor [14:11:33] and most templates never had templatedata [14:11:37] all added recently lol [14:12:27] wait a seccccccccccccccccccc this thing can jkust convert that ugly one line structure to a multi line structure???

[16:33:03] when they said "copy MediaWiki:Common.css to your own wiki.", that actually meant copying the rules that were in the dev wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css. They don't specify which ones though [16:33:10] [16:33:16] and how do i do that [16:33:47] tbf all the rules do start with `.infobox` [16:34:07] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css [16:34:09] this is where it leads [16:34:18] yeah that's what [[SR/RC]] is for [16:34:19]
