[00:26:11] Thank you!!! I've been wanting a new challenge and this has been really fun in general!! [00:39:59] But yes CSS can seem VERY weird, when you are first starting out [00:46:10] I've used CSS before but having to deal with info box classes and whatever is just confusing my brain [00:49:08] Yeah, that's a lot of MediaWiki starting out, esp lua modules [00:49:57] Once you wrap your brain around a few of the smaller hangups, the bigger ones get incrementally easier [00:55:32] Ohh, assming you are talking about infoboxes made with Portable infobox... yeah those are messy, how they don't use normal classes and id's like at all... [00:55:45] 👏 [00:59:43] I had to resort to selectors like these even, multiple times `.pi-header[data-item-name="classsectionheader"]`(ofc the thing in quote depends on the name parameter you give it yourself). Like seriously, that should just be a normal ID, but for some reason it isn't... [01:01:12] I have another hurdle now though. Spoilers. I've been trying to understand how the spoilers template from the Miraheze Developers Wiki works. I copied the JS in my JS file and the CSS too... do i have to create a template page too or just wait a bit till both JS and CSS setup and THEN use it on the wiki? [01:04:17] There is a spoilers extension, you can just enable in `Special:ManageWiki/extensions` on your wiki, that just adds a ` /spoiler` [01:05:40] Thing is, I was interested in the other one beucase i'd like to avoid having the big "show spoiler" button on the info box, and just have a simple blur (like the dev wiki had) [01:07:34] tbf, I wasn't aware there evne was a template version on the dev wiki (honestly, when I started out the dev wiki was very thin, so haven't paid much attention to it xD) [01:08:17] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Spoiler/doc [01:08:21] It's this one [01:08:44] Ok wait [01:08:54] I might have figured out how 😭 [01:09:10] But yeah you have to import the template itself too at the very least (And make sure you have the templatestyles extension enabled as well [01:11:19] It works! [01:11:59] Did not read far enough in the documentation and didn't know you could just import from dev 😭 [02:18:42] did i... just reinvent the wheel? i made [[mh:rainverse:template:inline spoiler]] [02:18:42]

[02:46:29] There's also https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:HiddenText, which is inline. [06:01:07] there are now 15 competing wheels [06:22:25] is there an easy way to mass regex [06:22:31] bc i hate regex [06:22:48] my brain doesnt process the characters [06:24:15] there's [[mw:Extension:Replace Text]], but you need a tech team member to check if you can have it [06:24:16]

[06:24:27] We should make another to be the 1 standard and then end up with 16 [06:25:20] bingo! [06:25:23] yea but i dont rlly wanna make a ticket for it........ [06:25:25] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1384781026777370674/standards_2x.png?ex=6853ad54&is=68525bd4&hm=05e9035f6f09afb3a21fd3faa39737a70404bf41183c6e6b0b9ab1b186852776& [06:26:00] you can also ping someone to take a look real quick, success is not guaranteed tho [06:26:43] [1/2] + it's not that scary [06:26:43] [2/2] you literally just type your wiki's name and say you want the replace text extension [06:26:52] Just make the request on [[SR]] and someone will annoy us for you [06:26:53]

[06:27:06] ok fine but i still want to replace a lot of stuff like right now [06:27:07] But also we're nice folks [06:27:21] Unfortunately we're a volunteer run farm [06:27:24] and learning regex is the faster way [06:27:31] Right now is rarely going to work round here [06:27:48] Have you tried MassEditRegex then @toastedwell ? [06:27:57] i am learning massedit regex rn [06:28:00] Exactly [06:28:18] but regex is scary and looks weird 💔 [06:28:22] ReplaceText doesn't use regex [06:28:43] was offering that since they were having trouble w/ regex [06:28:57] It is [06:29:12] ik our wiki was made before may 11th 2024 thou [06:29:20] but i doubt many pages were made back then [06:29:36] https://regex101.com my beloved...

[08:49:04] For mass text replacement, I find pywikibot a lot easier to use. All the server-side solutions are easier to mess up and difficult to verify. Pwb shows page diffs, which is really nice.
