[00:17:00] hello friends my staff @kaffeinatedanimated needs help logging in, she was having issues with auth and cant log into meta, it says her user/pw is wrong and she cant recover pw due to her ip being blocked for some reason [00:17:13] no vpn [00:44:18] Has she tried logging in on meta and then the wiki and can’t log in on? [00:44:34] There’s been log in issues lately but that fixed mine [00:48:54] yeah I've tried logging into meta then phighting wiki but the issue shows up on meta [00:49:31] RIP sorry then. [00:56:20] [1/2] hi this has smth to do with the maintenance right? i tried refreshing and same thing happened [00:56:20] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1494864121563447296/image.png?ex=69e42833&is=69e2d6b3&hm=4350a4dc2d1ec06981d4710a1c2d27ee9a2cf161dd6ed76fec64530df4e34854& [00:57:19] sometimes it logs me in, sometimes it logs me out [01:01:49] try logging in on meta [01:06:41] Need help with tooltips in the sidebar menu. I have a target and ID in the mediawiki:sidebar which gives me the desired sidebar link "Getting started". However, editing the page created by searching for "MediaWiki:Tooltip-n-Getting started" does not give a tooltip when hovering over the sidebar link. My only guess is it's something with the space in the ID but I really don't know [01:16:31] nevermind! its all fine [01:16:34] looks like it just needed time [01:16:50] could u make a #support thread? [01:17:38] <_chrs_, replying to tostmaster> can you add `?uselang=qqx` to the URL and see what the sidebar link shows? [01:21:18] [1/2] does the text in the tooltip mean anything to you? am i even in the right space? [01:21:19] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1494870407415861389/Screenshot_2026-04-17_202009.png?ex=69e42e0e&is=69e2dc8e&hm=04c8616b2ac739d2efe126973b6f079d3e922fdb86c93fc851df309d0e2b1648& [01:22:30] <_chrs_, replying to tostmaster> you'll want to edit `MediaWiki:Tooltip-n-Getting-started` [01:22:34] <_chrs_> (`-` instead of ` `) [01:22:46] ahhhh thank you so much! [01:24:48] Just confirming that I have the right tooltip appearing now, much appreciated! [01:35:30] <_chrs_, replying to tostmaster> glad to hear it's working! [03:10:46] [1/2] does anyone know the issue here? I don't know how to create a background for the infobox, as well as shifting it on the right so the body text isnt above/below it [03:10:46] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1494897954505363656/Screenshot_2026-04-17_at_8.09.48_PM.png?ex=69e447b6&is=69e2f636&hm=bead694530fb6dd0902e5ddc4cbe025afa587591bef0a3856a71c20af3e86d78& [04:30:51] Images and other custom styling are not loading for any Miraheze wiki on my end. [04:31:16] My neighbor’s WiFi is fine with it, they use the same ISP. [04:40:25] [1/2] I get this looping when I try and open an image. [04:40:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1494920516257972224/image.png?ex=69e45cb9&is=69e30b39&hm=43d274d0c08ac16a4875d9402c72e105e4169e5c65c87063d6cbef645a9bcf9b& [04:43:28] I am still running into issues where I keep getting marked as "are you logged in psyche you're not let's refresh five times and then you're logged in again" when editing pages [04:43:34] does the infobox have `float: right` on it? [04:46:51] No it doesn't, thanks for telling me [04:47:51] Anyone on the tech team here? [04:49:41] Cloudflare returns 403 cf-mitigated: challenge [04:52:04] there was a cloudflare DNS issue earlier today [04:52:04] but [04:52:19] no idea if it is still a related issue with your images [04:53:04] I mean mine is still broken. [04:53:18] I guess it will just be like this permanently or something, since i have no clue how to fix. [04:57:36] It's perfect with a VPN. [05:10:49] Hello, I'm the owner of the "liaowiki" who requested in around 2024. I can't access my Discord so being ended up messaging there. [05:11:12] And can you delay or postpone deleting this wiki? [05:11:40] Because I can't access anything right now including the original Meta account nothing can be done here. [05:11:44] Thank you. [05:14:15] As said in the closure notification, if you don't have your original account, visit https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Requests_for_reopening_wikis to have it reopened. [05:14:22] I tried to make a Discord account but was banned instantly. If there's any updates please send email to gp-liao@p2.aoo.bike thank you. [05:14:47] Is there a way to lodge a request anothee way? [05:15:16] Even my Meta account is currently not accessible. Or if I could make a separate account in the meantime? [05:19:57] Make a separate account to request reopening the wiki and explain your situation. [05:22:58] IRC is somehow not easy to use, please email me back for this inquiry. Ill leave for now, thank you. [06:08:44] [1/2] it singing [06:08:44] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1494942739517669407/image.png?ex=69e4716b&is=69e31feb&hm=7cbe0b1ea6fb390de9f7f0553d8eb7f44580f8f635f21c51e4a935e5d868e28e& [07:47:22] I have a community noticeboard question. What am I meant to do with the CAPTCHA box without a captcha attached that appears when I try and create a topic? (I'm trying to ask a long-form and admittedly somewhat rambling question which in my general experience discord is less well suited to.) [08:25:03] Do you have any extensions on [08:26:02] Shouldn't do, it was just on mobile. [08:28:18] [1/2] Are you using VisualEditor? It had some known issues with CAPTCHAs. [08:28:18] [2/2] Another solution is to remove any external links (or remove the `https://` part) from your post and add them back later. [08:32:44] [1/2] Probably? I don't know how to turn visual editor off on mobile. [08:32:44] [2/2] I can do that with the links though, it's only to a Wikipedia page anyway. Thanks! [08:35:40] That worked, thanks! [09:18:49] hello chat so idk how to make a wiki but i need someone that knows how to make wiki templates [09:47:40] luckily we have a wiki full of samples for you [09:51:59] dev dot miraheze dot org [10:54:52] its not letting me link for some reason... can anyone help me recreate the infobox described in the support post titled "Infobox troubles" [10:55:09] #verify for links [13:10:59] fr? where is that wiki [13:11:44] Read the message below mine [13:19:53] oh 😭 [13:22:33] what am i looking at [13:22:35] i'm confused [13:24:53] ur looking at the miraheze dev wiki diva [13:25:33] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_Developers_Wiki [13:25:34] this guide is for you if youre looking to make a wiki template https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates [13:25:42] the miraheze dev wiki is full of preset templates made for you [13:26:02] I thought they made a wiki bro 😭 [14:32:29] [1/2] hi @lakeus i think you forgot to remove some }} in Lakeus' code [14:32:30] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1495069515501797618/image.png?ex=69e4e77d&is=69e395fd&hm=32be7e42882c93e68016fcb18b053bf5974103a3c8c1d424d906072eaeac8c4b& [14:33:34] The evil }} [14:45:34] no i'm just asking for someone to help me not me making the wiki [14:45:40] i'm not qualified for that [14:45:59] girl why not learn [14:46:50] What do you need help with? [14:47:50] no i'm more of a "director", per se [14:47:59] i'm just gonna be the person [14:48:01] leading [14:48:45] Ye you might struggle with that [14:49:23] ik [14:49:42] u r better off finding someone within ur community to help you [14:49:50] ight [14:49:53] bye [14:50:00] Good luck [15:03:33] mm [16:53:07] i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is it permissible to create a wiki on miraheze that covers the same topic as a fandom wiki without the permission of the fandom wiki's administrators? [17:01:28] [1/2] It’s allowed snd permissible, fairly common too. If you’re forking, you’d have to follow some precautions to ensure it’s valid under fandoms copyright policies. [17:01:28] [2/2] I’m not a miraheze staff so i don’t feel comfortable giving a more detailed answer other than I did that with Equestripedia years ago and I hadn’t really had any issues. [17:09:45] what amelia said, its allowed but if ur gonna copy paste content from A to B, be wary of licenses! [17:42:52] covers the same topic is probably fine, if it is going to be essentially a mirror of it it would be slightly dodgier, but you can cover the same topic which would be fine [17:43:35] [1/2] https://ronanjeanpaul.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [17:43:36] [2/2] guys what else should i add to the mainpage [18:23:56] importing should be fine from a licensing point of view [18:24:47] images may be a little more dicey but I'm not aware of any instances of fandom going after anyone even on wikis far bigger than any on miraheze [18:34:54] [1/2] how can I prevent lazy loaded images inherit width and height within html from the placeholder [18:34:55] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1495130521045434579/image.png?ex=69e5204e&is=69e3cece&hm=068acd62f5df980759a7cc8b933800a760cfdd54c047798137ec8e0b60c8ac99& [18:35:12] it overwrites css ⚰️ [18:35:40] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1495130712800760010/image.png?ex=69e5207c&is=69e3cefc&hm=d4a4fa17d6ff258cbf29d8c0b5c03023843585d3d725326a0962444050d9190c& [18:36:01] Its a recent thing that wasn't happening before [18:36:01] wdym [18:36:21] is this images added through js or is it through loading a template or what [18:36:40] through a module yea [18:37:02] so what should the width and height of the image be then? [18:38:21] [1/2] it should be handled with css, I can add !importants which will solve the issue, but cause another issue as the element has more images that use other stylings a:dies: [18:38:21] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1495131386900648016/image.png?ex=69e5211c&is=69e3cf9c&hm=74fd44c902f43d39d08a7076891fca4a2a99b2de781f73f7268dc3129979071d& [18:38:46] nesting final boss [18:38:47] that explicid span > a > img was an attempt at fixing it [18:41:44] !important = likly fragile code [18:42:09] yep [18:42:25] where are the top stylings coming from? [18:42:32] lazy loading [18:42:44] at least thats my assumption [18:43:01] inline styling has the highest specificity [18:43:10] u cant override it without using !important [18:43:14] or a parent [18:49:17] welp I guess the only solution for now is to assign dimensions in the module [18:56:18] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1495135904443138078/image0.jpg?ex=69e52551&is=69e3d3d1&hm=da4374aded7500914e2e2e703c002e3e89f26314b4b74e46dc7b70d528cbe3a0& [19:03:28] hey, why does my wiki say lower-alpha 1 instead of a when i use {{Efn}} [19:03:29] [19:04:31] and how can i change it to "a" or "b" etc [19:57:45] [1/2] sigh [19:57:46] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1495151370628759692/image.png?ex=69e533b9&is=69e3e239&hm=f0a9a16cfd00661a4df28e294ff81f9421e0bb22c0e690102e59c94f4e75d5b7& [20:00:02] Couldn't you use `` to prevent that? [20:02:56] Hello it appears that I can't log in because I have to "enable cookies"- but I can't find how to enable them... [20:35:45] Clear your cookies [20:35:54] The error message seems to be a bit bonkers [20:37:03] I tried doing this two times it's still not working [20:37:19] Try another browser or incognito mode then [20:38:59] Thank you very much it worked, but does that mean I always have to use incognito mode now? [20:39:07] Nope [20:39:13] It'll solve itself eventually [20:39:49] Alrighty, appreciate the help!:Partyheze: [20:50:20] I mean Miraheze is hosting what's essentially a mirror of Undertale and Deltarune wikis except with nonbinary erasure [20:50:50] Which I think sucks, but if you're following the licensing I'm pretty sure they aren't going to do anything [21:04:39] thanks for the info! and yeah i would be making it myself, without copying another wiki [21:18:30] unless they had an epic licensing fail or are also spreading hateful content there's not much to be done yeah :( [21:19:19] They did but it wasn't epic enough for T&S to do anything lol [21:20:17] wow i oughta go dig in the archives then [21:20:26] what was the report # or email titled [21:20:56] "Cyberpedia copyright violations and other context" [21:21:40] Email subject, I don't think I used the portal [21:43:36] I have this issue on my wiki myself. I think it is something related to modules. [21:56:21] You might want to copy this page over to your wiki to make the lower-alpha group work [21:56:31] I think that might be the missing thing [22:01:14] Works! [22:13:17] thanks [22:22:11] Is there an easy way to merge several articles? Like, essentially stack their contents on top of each other as a list. [22:40:13] Transclusion? [22:40:25] Like is your intention to not have the articles anymore or transclude parts of them? [22:40:39] To not had them as articles, to merge them all [22:42:02] [1/6] I mean you could do something like ``` [22:42:02] [2/6] ==Topic 1== [22:42:02] [3/6] {{subst::article 1}} [22:42:02] [4/6] ==Topic 2== [22:42:03] [5/6] {{subst::article 2}} [22:42:03] [6/6] ...```then delete all the articles afterwards [22:42:58] otherwise [22:43:32] Thank you that probably works! [22:44:01] iirc there was something like partial page history merging in recent mw updates but I'm not sure the details
