[00:02:30] [1/2] idk where to put this but the banner for the Board of Directors election has a typo (February 21th instead of February 21st) [00:02:30] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496300127340466186/image.png?ex=69e96196&is=69e81016&hm=f8612c30d4ff59a1ee305f42dc3ab1fe0f637c4ed046a71a2f56f1996265c039& [00:07:49] I'll put on my tech hat and fix it [00:09:47] Fixed. Thanks for reporting. [01:07:38] how do i get the short description to appear with the article name in the search bar? [01:16:16] [1/4] hi. sorry for the trouble. its been years since ive hosted a site and im needed to figure something out, but i really dont remember how or where to access this stuff anymore. [01:16:16] [2/4] the image is just an example (i have no idea if this is private information or not, if it is, please remove it at your discretion) [01:16:17] [3/4] ive been asked to make sure the proxying is disabled on my site, but again i just have no idea where to access this screen. [01:16:17] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496318691602858145/image.png?ex=69e972e0&is=69e82160&hm=d6aa7dceae91a92a93c9b3aaefc105528a7074f7315d36bc794425b1504f9212& [01:18:04] dash.cloudflare.com, log in, select the account that owns that domain and search for "DNS" [01:19:16] thank you. [01:38:09] can you like, strike my vote? I frigged up and voted oppose for all three :steveo_kek2: [01:39:25] [1/2] You can vote again. There will be a notice on top. [01:39:25] [2/2] > Note: You have voted in this election before. You may change your vote by submitting the form below. Note that if you do this, your original vote will be discarded. [01:39:36] Ohh phew [01:40:08] Don't vote under the influence, kids [01:40:51] Good luck to all 3 candidates [01:40:58] Due to the encryption scheme we have, it's not possible to change your votes because they are all encrypted. So the only way to change is to vote again to invalidate the previous submission. [01:46:12] I wonder how does SecurePoll generate the JWT sub field [01:49:41] Oh it's just the election ID lol [01:50:02] I thought maybe it meant I was the 58th to vote [02:15:02] No one gets a seat!!! [02:15:54] Does that make me a uh...whats it called...librarian? [02:55:23] i donated a while back, how do i get the Donar role ? [02:58:06] Dm an online discord mod about it! [02:58:16] Gotta provide proof you donated ofc [02:58:23] oh ok !! [02:58:33] i have no idea where id find proof LOL [02:58:51] does it keep track somewhere ?? [02:58:57] or maybe i have a reciept hmm [03:19:23] when did you get the role [03:19:45] how did you donate [03:33:01] I donated during the fundraiser but also sponsor on github as zfbx (on my github profile) would further proof be needed? [03:48:56] Verified, thank you for your generosity [04:05:05] thru the fundraiser page [04:05:29] not sure if it attached it to my account thi [04:05:42] i mean i guess i can always donate again LOL [04:40:59] An email showing the donation confirmation is easiest if you can dig it up [05:14:22] will take a look!! [05:45:20] a cheese of bread [06:10:36] [1/2] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_Monthly/April_2026 [06:10:37] [2/2] I wrote a column in MH Monthly about the secrecy of the vote if you want to learn more. [06:21:34] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:How_to_improve_the_dark_mode_appearance_of_my_wiki [06:22:12] I went down the rabbit hole and came across the WMF mismanaging spending [06:22:21] That's a lot of money [06:23:24] How do [06:24:40] easy solution to it is to leak your vote [06:25:21] I just supported everyone lmao I have nothing against any of them [06:25:42] Just remember that only 2 will be elected [06:25:43] mind you NA would get a +2 if that was an option but [06:25:48] i was just looking at petra's profile [06:25:49] And we're not doing preference voting [06:26:19] So if you vote for 3, it's not really much different to voting for none. You should vote for the 1 or 2 that you actually want elected. [06:26:34] How did that uncover this mismanagement of wmf funds? [06:26:48] yes probably wise [06:27:18] [1/2] 2nd collapsible box [06:27:18] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496396963166556170/image.png?ex=69e9bbc5&is=69e86a45&hm=3c932ef886f05ad586454ea05a9ea09f15db088df18c27edadd9996e102c7d91& [06:35:01] The WMF has very little in terms of management [06:36:12] The wmf just does a reorg every few years to hide the problems [06:36:24] And pays consultancies to tell them to deploy Gitlab [06:38:42] It's sort of like the Mozilla Foundation where they are doing the world a good and receive lots of good will, except that the entity operating the service makes lots of questionable decisions. [06:40:21] that comparison makes so much sense [06:41:51] [[w:WP:CANCER]] is pretty well-known I think. Gets quoted a lot when discussion about the WMF happen. I think I saw it because it was linked in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vami_IV/Completionism [06:41:52]

[06:43:56] wow these essays are amazing [06:45:07] haven't heard of these before cause i mostly just edit on en wikipedia and don't actually engage with other editors [06:56:52] Pix might know more since he is quite involved with the ENWP community. In general ENWP users write amazing essays since they need write lots of high-quality prose for an encyclopedia. [06:57:40] Most organisations make questionable decisions tbh [06:57:48] You're just exposed to them more with the WMF [06:58:10] I added 2 more proposals on these two settings. [07:03:05] Hey all, I'm new to Miraheze and wiki editing in general, and I've just made a template infobox via the infobox builder, and I'm wondering if there's any way to edit that infobox/template with the visual builder again after publishing it? Thanks :) [07:04:50] [1/2] Sorry didn't explain that too well- on my template page I can only edit it via source, rather than going bringing it back into the infobox builder [07:04:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496406411226120192/image.png?ex=69e9c492&is=69e87312&hm=75ee04b5622eff451b1c4e5465b552dc875c49d017ec615f4552fdd9f5cc5fba& [07:34:00] [1/2] i've enabled the cosmos skin, how do i make it the default? it isn't an option in the setting. [07:34:00] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496413749169619004/image.png?ex=69e9cb67&is=69e879e7&hm=101bc0631738fc4992429c3ba3280b3b34c74fa4182af07f7e7562269086428f& [07:39:22] Does it appear if you wait a bit and refresh [07:40:44] its been 30mins, it hasn't appeared, even relogged [07:44:48] got it, had to change it to Citizen, then i could change it to Cosmos [07:56:43] Don't know if it actually fixed the issue [07:56:57] But when that happened I enabled/disabled a random skin and came back to be able to select it [07:57:22] yeah that [07:59:06] yea i've fixed it. but now to fix the font colour 😭 i know basic CSS but idk where im supposed to be updating it. [07:59:30] some things seems to be in settings and others in the common.css but some dont work in either [08:00:00] [1/2] the text is so hard to read now 🙁 [08:00:00] [2/2] https://tlok.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:WantedPages [08:00:00] Sounds like an evil ManageWiki cache problem which I have no idea how to resolve. [08:01:06] You can use [Codex colors](https://doc.wikimedia.org/codex/latest/design-tokens/color.html) as your dark mode reference. E.g. `color-link-red` is `#fd7865` under dark mode which would be a good color to use for red links. [08:01:41] thanks, but i still don't know where to change it [08:03:26] `$wgCosmosLinkColor` for link colors. For general text color you may have to use CSS because I don't see that option for Cosmos. [08:03:48] https://shouldiblamecach.ing/ [08:04:29] [1/7] i did the below and it didnt change anything. [08:04:29] [2/7] ```#mw-content-text { [08:04:29] [3/7] color: black; [08:04:30] [4/7] } [08:04:30] [5/7] body { [08:04:30] [6/7] color: black; [08:04:31] [7/7] }``` [08:07:00] (CSS properties follow US spelling) [08:07:31] Also, the CSS does work but it gets overwritten by the skin's own CSS. You'll need a more specific selector [08:07:58] [1/2] ^ What unai said. Also, please learn [dev tools](https://river.me/blog/dev-tools/). It'll make your life a lot easier. [08:07:58] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496422297391861922/image.png?ex=69e9d35d&is=69e881dd&hm=6d5a3a0491b5ee4859bdf4738f625c6f7db4a385037d0821e32af214713ed02f& [08:08:47] [1/2] yea i was trying to get the more specific selector using #mw-content-text because i could see in the inspect element that is what the font color being used it under [08:08:48] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496422505034940416/image.png?ex=69e9d38f&is=69e8820f&hm=ff53ad2d95806d3463a642232533a940539a5f1f2fcf825f9395c325ffbec3b8& [08:10:48] :pupCoffeeMH: css is weird whenever i logout and login they have different outputs [08:11:35] Cache may be longer for anons afaik [08:14:56] When I use anon, it shows the changes I made when I log in, but it appears differently. [08:17:07] [1/2] On a side note I think I'm ratelimited by Cloudflare. It's the same symptom as the other folks who complained about missing images. [08:17:07] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496424599653715988/image.png?ex=69e9d582&is=69e88402&hm=29f74c84a9f94e679bc9f7347a0fb9666be4159940a3fc3d2c818e7df44afca6& [08:18:29] [1/3] The one with animation is anon, and the other one is when I’m logged in.

[08:19:08] yea when i log out, my wiki looks completely unstyled 🙁 thats my next thing to tackle [08:19:16] https://animeoverload.org/wiki/User:JiNeverFade [08:21:19] [1/4] https://animeoverload.org/wiki/Story/Ninja_Leaf [08:21:19] [2/4] also with this one it show the full text when logout-- the second image show this css when i logout [08:21:20] [3/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496425657670959184/image.png?ex=69e9d67f&is=69e884ff&hm=06a75cb75464ebf9a58482eab217da9975a082143a22f1c84aecb081dcf66ef0& [08:21:20] [4/4] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1496425658157371422/image.png?ex=69e9d67f&is=69e884ff&hm=2f130d2c90e0b367f9a7a78218131ef250daa8238627f33cfe44f734aad79492& [08:21:28] could it be within the css skin? [08:23:04] [1/2] Likely has to do with caching. Just use https://animeoverload.org/wiki/User:JiNeverFade?debug=2 whenever you're testing changes. [08:23:05] [2/2] Or even better, always preview your changes in developer tools and not touch Common.css until you have verified that your changes work. [08:32:26] probably caching [08:33:09] i do testing in the inspect element when i do changes [14:56:35] how do I access the root html in miraheze? [15:06:45] `:root` in css [15:07:38] ok [15:08:39] uh... [15:09:01] how exactly do I enter it? its not through editor obviously [15:15:19] ok so I need to create a class and set that class as the main body of a page [15:15:24] is that what I got right? [15:20:44] i hope thats what it is, because now I dont know how to make a page using this template have a different bg color, default text color and even line color (for things like tables) [15:28:18] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Selectors/:root [15:38:55] hm ok i see [15:39:10] thaks for the help skye [15:43:21] so follow up question [15:43:40] -# im really new to this [15:44:02] how do I access the css (i want to use a skin for one or more pages) [15:48:52] [1/2] ok i better make a good explanation of what I want: [15:48:52] [2/2] i want to make a skin to use in any pages i might need and that overwrites the common.css whenever im going to use it. I know that I need to use stylesheets in order to make the skins, but how exactly do I do all of that? [16:27:18] [1/2] That's not skye btw.. [16:27:18] [2/2] This is the real, one and only skye @pskyechology, that guy was a fraud skye lol [16:27:34] Sorry for ping~ [16:31:30] im changing my nick back to ice spice [16:40:18] this was a very dangerous bit.

[17:04:45] Have done previous steps suposedky [17:06:18] You don't need `.miraheze.org` for the subdomain [17:13:03] Nice [17:27:45] I did it now [17:28:14] Although we're still using the version from our tweaks but I'll switch us soon enough [17:28:26] Just need to fix the CI [17:49:56] 67 numbers on the line -Michael Jackson [17:50:02] numbers are the prime [17:50:09] i forgor the rest of the lyrics [19:55:53] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestCustomDomainQueue/1039 [19:57:25] [19:58:06] [1/2] But I did that.

Or the configuration is wrong? It can be tell from the beginning? [20:09:55] once the bot has failed, it must be manually done, takes time [20:22:39] I mean. The DNS things. I followed the steps, but maybe cloud fare takes time. In your experience is immediate or takes a day? [20:26:15] If you had to change nameservers, that can take up to 24 hours [20:26:20] Other changes aren't normally as long [20:48:54] <.copyrighted, replying to .copyrighted> Hello, can anyone help? [20:53:42] you could probably add something about background color in common css but not 100% sure [20:54:21] <.copyrighted, replying to uaesrnameraienrfu> There's a background color already. [20:55:05] The answer is going to be CSS, but we have limited folks online at any given time. I'd recommend the #support forum if you don't get a quick answer here [20:55:30] <.copyrighted, replying to notaracham> Roger. [20:55:46] actually i think adjusting the background color to be rgba for opacity setting thing? [20:55:49] im assuming that works [20:56:11] In meantime, yeah, I would recommend playing around in personal settings (as those are instant) with trying to target the right thing and set transparency [20:56:36] https://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp has a lot of helpful info if you're not familiar [20:57:00] <.copyrighted> Ty.
