[01:03:31] How do you remove the margin from the quote template (the template from dev wik)? Or should i just re-implement my own solution? [01:15:06] Does the "NOEDITSECTION" magic word affect the whole page or just one section? [01:37:24] whole page [01:38:08] Ah I see, thanks! [01:52:05] [1/2] how can I apply a custom font to `{{DISPLAYTITLE:van'nxnqn}}`?

[02:16:59] [2/4] I've been messing with the CSS forever to no avail. I just want the gallery images to be larger and for the boxes to not take up so much space. [02:16:59] [3/4] Basically, look more like fandom galleries.

I always wanted documentation, but then I actively removed comments myself that explain like anything because I found them ugly in the code lol... gotten much better at doing comments + actual documentation now lol [06:33:05] what the fuck CA [06:33:06] well [06:33:09] at least you changed [06:33:22] I was always like "where are all the comments" then removed them myself lol [06:34:00] Its hard to understand some code especially pre PHP8 without any comments at all lol [06:34:18] [1/5] my favourite comments are of the following type: [06:34:19] [2/5] ``` [06:34:19] [3/5] // prints lol [06:34:19] [4/5] print("lol"); [06:34:20] [5/5] ``` [06:34:26] PHP8 introduced a lot of things that made it much easier.

[08:45:50] not really. It runs the same tag as just in intersection mode. [08:46:16] Im not entirly sure of the differences actually when just using that (I didn't write it originally lol) [08:47:40] it should give you everything you need it to though. [09:10:47] [1/2] it doesn't, my assumption was correct [09:10:48] [2/2] running nukedpl with `lastmodifiedby = Admin` does not work with tags; does with [09:11:17] oh it will work with DPL4 lol [09:12:20] It merges it so it maintains exact intersection compatibility but allows DPL3 additional functionality in [09:12:46] until then it's gonna have degraded functionality for everyone, not to mention those who stay on dpl3 [09:13:36] Yeah you can keep both I just thought simplifying would be cool lol. not to mention DPL3 even supports deleting and editing articles directly in it lol [09:13:56] oh I would love to simplify it like that, it looks so much better lol [09:15:05] quick amend and ig it's ready to go [09:15:06] probably would be cleaner to factor out the selection logic to select what tag to use in a seperate method. But clean is not something id use to describe NukeDPL so seems fine to me. [09:17:32] [1/2] would be cleaner, but there's only two tags at play with not a whole lot of logic associated with it [09:17:32] [2/2] sure more maintainable code is boss but damn im gonna cry if someone makes a new dpl tag (please dont make ) [09:18:06] oh no do I gotta revert?/j [09:53:25] Hello [09:53:50] @Board of Directors i need help [09:54:20] [1/2] My wiki is closed [09:54:20] [2/2] Please reopen the wiki [09:55:02] Thats a Steward issue not a board issue.

[09:59:20] [1/2] this is not done on discord, please stop @ people [09:59:20] [2/2] check/read why your wiki was closed carefully [09:59:46] you already asked a steward and the conversation went into steward chambers. It will not happen. You made a wiki designed contrary to the mission of miraheze and bragged about it in an article, and this was the result; take the hit, find better shores for your intent, good luck. [10:01:03] there is no further line of appeal, if you want to direct any mediating context by email to stewards@miraheze.org that is your liberty but randomly pinging people in here is not going to work.

[10:22:56] The margin on the side [10:23:39] you want the box to take full width of the page? [10:24:24] Yeah, but also don’t want the margin at the start of the box (the left side) [10:24:39] Sorry, not the best with CSS so dunno if I’m expressing myself correctly [10:24:53] im still not sure im getting this right [10:24:57] anyway [10:25:30] first thing, if you check template code there's `max-width: 600px;`, it limits horizontal size of the box [10:26:09] you might try to remove it or set `width: 95%;`, for example (i suggest never use 100%) [10:26:56] Genuine question why are the BoD role pingable?

I disabled it and it works [11:30:27] [1/4] Hello everyone! [11:30:27] [2/4] I recently found a way to change the font of a title, however, it does not accept any text that matches with the actual title. [11:30:27] [3/4] The page title is "Ji (lettre)" but i would like to display {j} (lettre), the letter between brackets being written with my custom script font [11:30:28] [4/4] I coined this : {{DISPLAYTITLE:{{NU|J}} (lettre)}} where the NU model is for the font. However it says it cannot display it because the titles don't match. What can i do? [11:38:59] disable wgRestrictDisplayTitle [11:39:45] in commons.css? [11:40:05] no girlie [11:40:06] Special:ManageWiki/settings [11:40:11] Special:ManageWiki/settings [11:40:16] alright thanks [11:43:27] so once i do that, it should work? [11:43:37] even filing up the password manually still had it's issue persists [11:44:09] incognito? [11:45:00] [1/2] apparently it works now [11:45:00] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1395733089182810112/image.png?ex=687b853b&is=687a33bb&hm=bbd29276949194582e020590ed43ab21f41299a7ff9f9c84c494ba1a12015f7b& [11:45:20] something tells me that i got ip blocked or smth [11:45:44] i think your browser session was just really cooked [11:46:09] yeah this issue seems pretty common across site registrations [11:46:12] behance has the same issue [11:46:47] whenever i reload the page or just do something like a debug on the polandball wiki, it logs out my account globally [11:48:03] mirahates you [11:48:38] ! [11:48:54] polandball wiki really had something against my chrome browsser [11:49:16] firefox has no issue whatsoever for me [11:51:22] That is your sign to change your browser to Firefox lmao [12:45:39] so gonna ask, how do I add more links to the navigation tab? [13:09:18] MediaWiki:Sidebar? [13:09:37] oh okay thanks [13:09:40] lemme try [13:10:50] I'm not entirely sure, because the Sidebar is typically on the left, as opposed to the right side you mentioned. [13:10:57] [1/2] https://farawayspace.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [13:10:57] [2/2] this is my site btw, very incomplete but I for now I'm planning to make it a mix of a wiki and a general digital library about a fictional galaxy written from the people living in there [13:11:21] may be pretty ambitious [13:13:10] that sounds interesting [13:15:02] yeah just want a diegetic place to store information for an attempt at a collaborative project [13:18:25] also can I ask about the format as well, because would having a dedicated wiki like section in the site make potential "books" redundant? [13:19:15] I plan that me and other people could write books in the form of pages with multipe subpages and then put them in there [13:21:12] I think you can create a new namespace for this [13:22:08] [1/2] yeah, I am concerned about having a wiki making books redundant though [13:22:08] [2/2] maybe wikis could be for basic info and books expand on that? [13:23:12] After analyzing the CSS, looks like it's just how the quote template is built (with description lists that automatically add spacing) so looks like i'll have to reimplemnt it [13:26:26] sounds good. btw, the page Species_template looks broken. [13:56:59] so am I doing this right?
