[00:17:43] Isn't there a setting that tells search engines not to index a wiki? I just found my test installation's IP address on google >.> [00:35:23] jfolv: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultRobotPolicy [00:36:34] Thanks [05:27:14] hello [08:06:35] jfolv: you can also place a robots.txt file at the top of the server to make sure nothing slips through regardless of config or other changes, see https://infoheap.com/robots-txt-disallow-all/ [17:01:05] The Coolest Tool Award ceremony is starting soon! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYM4k_LD_9w [17:03:19] ^^ we're chatting in #wmhack [17:26:11] do portable infoboxes work on version 1.34? [17:28:40] What's a portable infobox? [17:28:45] And why wouldn't they? [17:28:51] Also, 1.34 is end of life, so no longer supported [17:29:15] what is no longer supported? [17:29:49] are you telling me this is the end for self hosted wiki's [17:31:08] Cocopuff2018: no. support is end of live. it works. there are new versions now out there [17:31:29] like windows 98: it is end of live and you should switch to a newer windows version ;-) [17:33:08] good to know but what i need is portable infoboxes [17:33:33] if you explain what portabl infoboxes are.... [17:33:38] it's a Wikia extension; there's a sorta maintained-ish fork that allegedly works on vanilla MWs [17:33:41] i have never heard that term [17:33:50] oooh [17:33:58] https://github.com/lkucharczyk/mediawiki-PortableInfobox [17:34:12] it makes it easier to make infoboxes [17:34:24] and its what makes infoboxes possible to have [17:34:31] on a wiki [17:34:58] only on Wikia wikis, mind you; regular infoboxes have been a thing for well over a decade :) [17:35:26] Well now i need to figure out how to do a infobox on a self hosted wiki [17:36:21] !infobox [17:36:21] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox [17:36:25] !exporttemplates [17:36:25] To copy templates from Wikipedia, use Special:Export and check the "Include templates" option to get all the sub-templates, then upload the file with Special:Import on your wiki. You'll also likely have to install the ParserFunctions extension, Scribunto extension and install/enable HTML tidy. You also might need some CSS from Wikipedia's Common.css. You'll also need a lot of... [17:36:48] ^although I will note that enwiki's templates are probably nothing but a prime example of what *not* to do, given their complexity etc. >.> [17:43:32] http://mx.kazdel.com/index.php/Template:Tv_show_infobox [17:43:46] you see here its not really a infobox so i must be missing something' [17:44:57] You're presumably missing an extension [17:45:01] isn't standard MW syntax [17:45:40] i do need to figure out what on earth i am missing [17:46:43] Where did you get that example from? [17:47:00] the infobox page [17:47:12] template page of wikimedia for testing purpouses [17:47:27] link? [17:48:47] http://mx.kazdel.com/index.php/Template:Tv_show_infobox [17:48:54] as you can see here i am missing something [17:48:57] for an extension [17:50:41] [17:46:43] Where did you get that example from? [17:51:02] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox [17:51:04] here [17:51:22] No you didn't [17:51:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox&action=edit [17:51:59] then idk but i am missing an extension [17:52:19] Probably [17:52:30] If you look where you actually got it from, you can probably work it out [17:54:41] It would look like it's probably Wikia's "PortableInfobox" based on https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Infoboxes/Tags [18:01:14] indeed it is; but since Wikia's extensions are very nonstandards, the fork I linked to above might be the closest version that works on a more standard MW, although I'd still recommend copying a regular infobox template from a smaller wiki
