[00:10:55] [1/3] you already set citizen as default it will be citizen for any user that visits your wiki [00:10:56] [2/3] user preferences, on your screenshot, are just, again, personal option that doesn't affect anyone else [00:10:56] [3/3] if you mean you want to force only one skin on users, well yeah, that's also possible [00:11:40] i personally don't like citizen and prefer timeless lol [00:11:45] for the first point i mean forcing the skin on people who have already visited the wiki [00:12:00] with an account [00:12:04] it will be forced already [00:12:09] it's default [00:12:12] oh [00:12:13] ok [00:12:28] that's what ive been saying [00:12:41] im tired lol [00:12:55] like wikipedia changed skin couple of years ago it was forced on everyone [00:13:16] but they left option to keep the old look for registered users [00:13:34] i.e. going to those preferences [00:25:25] [1/2] Is there a way to fix this? 🥀 I thought it would fix after a few days but no luck. Purging also does not fix it [00:25:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1446658757256806401/image.png?ex=6934c975&is=693377f5&hm=b3ae65d861115b014c5dab8cec2974bc1d8adadcf5c015d2427d45dd1613dc9c& [00:26:36] strange. it tries to load /w/thumb_handler.php/3/32/Trick-or-treat_Stamp.png/800px-Trick-or-treat_Stamp.png [00:31:26] oops i forgot there was a support channel. my bad [00:41:35] It's fine to ask quick questions here, but if it's a complicated thing, if you're not getting answers, or an answer will require a lot of back and forth to complete, support's 100% a better fit [00:41:52] thanks. I think it might require some back and forth [00:43:59] If I sponsor on GitHub, is there somewhere I can send proof to get the donator role? (I chose GitHub because of the 0% fee) :smilesies: [00:45:40] My DMs work [00:46:01] If you can show and prove connection of accounts [02:14:40] @giantguy [02:22:09] thank you [02:28:03] [1/2] wow i really need to redesign my home page lol [02:28:04] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1446689619176456352/Screenshot_20251205_182702_Samsung_Internet.jpg?ex=6934e633&is=693394b3&hm=0787b8b5d364e1ae992a80d45c30e3328838d8161dd22bac6abf19dbecbcd5fe& [03:16:44] Who handles the RfPs? [04:24:30] Stewards close WR rfps, generally [05:13:44] What’s going on? This user is trying to make an account in my Miraheze wiki and it won’t let them despite there not being a user of that username. [05:15:34] Scratch that. The user figured out what was going on their end lol. [05:47:17] <18.748.837.46> [1/2] I'm confused regarding image rights. I'm making an althist wiki (very original ik) and I want to use [this image](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Press_conference_of_the_Committee_of_the_GKChP_USSR_(August_19,_1991).jpg)) in my article about the group, which is also used in Wikipedia's [corresponding article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Committee_on_the_State_of_Emer [05:47:17] <18.748.837.46> [2/2] gency) . It is a copyrighted image, but Wikipedia uses it under fair use, and I'm likewise solely using it to provide a visual for who I am talking about. Am I allowed to use it as well? [05:54:10] you can use images from Wikipedia (and other Wikimedia projects) w/o upload, Miraheze basically has an access to their file base by default, you just use filesname [05:55:29] <18.748.837.46> [1/2] Yes but afaik that is only through Wikimedia commons, I tried pasting that image on my wiki but it would be a red link [05:55:29] <18.748.837.46> [2/2] The image is located on English Wikipedia only [05:56:01] interesting :ThinkerMH: [05:57:11] you made support thread too, it's better over there [06:28:02] are templates better than writing code manually? im coloring the text and there's a lot of /span and i wonder if it helps to use a template [06:30:19] generally yeah [06:31:04] if there's any repeatable thing using a template is easier and makes it easier to change en-masse if needed [06:31:42] seeing that this text is being coloured white though, I have to ask what exactly the context of this is [06:32:00] it was an example [06:32:03] [1/2] i mean [06:32:03] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1446751022969262172/image.png?ex=69351f63&is=6933cde3&hm=1d8b42058bdef9af7a063e7250eaabeaedbdfa16a468ce914a9fe415032e20c1& [06:32:05] this looks [06:32:07] horrid [06:33:10] why are you using
for every line [06:33:33] [1/2] this is the produst of it [06:33:33] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1446751401249079416/image.png?ex=69351fbd&is=6933ce3d&hm=2b5fa2b4969e4b27d8bfb041c23168f7bf64842548c717ac7beb7097f4812f11& [06:33:57] [1/2] had i not used this, this would be the result [06:33:57] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1446751500696289362/image.png?ex=69351fd5&is=6933ce55&hm=ab02add55bd0bb0b73321f2b9922d9b6be0b145a83241513892d4ca374746cdd& [06:35:00] a double enter works, but it has a large gap inbetween [06:35:27] what about a bulleted list [06:35:51] i dont know about a bulleted list [06:36:12] it does the same thing, doesn't it? [06:37:34] [1/3] * well it'll look like this [06:37:34] [2/3] * but it's generally easier to write than putting
at the end of everything [06:37:35] [3/3] You can also put your additional notes in sublists like this [06:37:42] oops that doesn't work in discord [06:38:53] but anyway, regarding the text colour question using a template should make things easier to write out [06:40:54] ah okay, tysm [06:41:06] my 9000 iq trick is just to use `` [06:42:20] that works too [06:42:40] (make sure you have Extension:Poem enabled) [06:43:02] [1/4] but wouldnt it look like [06:43:02] [2/4] ``` [06:43:02] [3/4] asdjashdgjhagsdjhashd [06:43:02] [4/4] ``` [06:43:43] ? what do you mean? poem is just syntax meant to preserve the linebreaks you have in code automatically [06:44:17] would i have to put at the start and end of the page? [06:44:20] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Poem [06:44:39] just at the points where you need the linebreaks preserved [06:44:54] so Text here /poem [06:46:35] is there a way i can add the bullet points easily? (multiple selectors on different lines) [06:46:41] or just anything reakky [07:05:24] [1/2] wiki text is similar to markdown, like here in discord, bullet and numbered lists are there, check this [07:05:24] [2/2] [[mw:Help:Formatting]] [07:05:24]

[07:08:10] not sure wdym by selectors tho [07:09:51] i think they mean if there's an easy way to template it [07:10:00] and from the looks of their use case, i'd say, not really [07:10:08] since the text for each bullet is different/not standardized [07:38:32] if the lists are of same structure, idk, say 5 items for specific section in articles [07:38:53] you'd go w/ numbered parameters i guess [07:39:32] although templates aren't always answers, really, would be easier to just `*` [09:16:35] the horrors if making stuff work for mobile [10:20:59] We only transclude from Commons. Some wikipedia's, like the English one allow for Fair use, most Wikipedia's don't. We cannot transclude images uploaded to Wikipedia or other wikis, Only Commons.

[11:41:09] Yes, but we appreciate people first maturing their first wiki [11:41:23] There is a 72 hour waiting period though [11:41:25] can you explain? [11:41:42] yeah dont worry bout that my second wiki was made long ago [11:42:06] We just do not want one page wikis made shortly after each other [11:42:23] But if your wiki was made a while back, sure [11:42:28] I will try to use it as much as I can and make it a big project [11:42:30] thanks [11:42:47] You're welcome [12:50:14] https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Summary [12:57:28] this is really redundant [12:57:54] this is really redundant, even en wp just goes w/ short sentence [12:58:27] is your wiki massively active to require such specifications? [13:02:35] also there's iframe, that gotta involve js and you probably miss something else [13:03:06] again, think of your wiki really need such measures [13:04:20] nobody has or is obligated to mimic wikipedia, which is incredibly complex due to its volume and size of community [13:13:48] no, I just want to make some fixed summary for us to use by a click [13:15:43] There isn't any js used in mw:summary in Chinese Wikipedia [13:16:27] look into classes the spans in your code have [13:16:32] Is it really necessary? [13:16:59] if they think so let be it [13:17:32] personally i don't think it's hard to quickly type 1-2 common words [13:17:41] so it doesn't make sense [13:18:53] https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_talk:Summary&action=edit [13:19:08] It's not even visible on Wikipedia [13:24:41] So far I can see, only zhWP has this, and doesn't even work on there [13:24:58] None of the other Wikipedia languages have this [13:26:25] [1/2] Remember that this affects all users on your wiki. It's not a personal preference. [13:26:25] [2/2] I think you can do that easier by using a js script? [13:27:10] And I normally rely on 6 often used phrases that are available from cache 🤷🏻‍♂️ [13:45:29] [1/8] Ah... You need to add the following to MediaWiki:Common.css [13:45:30] [2/8] ```#wpSummary, [13:45:30] [3/8] #wpSummaryLabel, [13:45:30] [4/8] input#wpSummary, [13:45:31] [5/8] input.mw-summary { [13:45:31] [6/8] margin-top: 0; [13:45:31] [7/8] margin-bottom: 0; [13:45:31] [8/8] }``` [13:48:50] [1/2] But js might be easier: [13:48:50] [2/2] https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/Standard_Edit_Summary [13:49:10] Perhaps that could be converted to Miraheze standard? [14:04:18] make it into snippet on dev? [14:04:47] yeah, again, solutions on fandom tend to be cleaner/simpler than on wp [14:08:48] I can use this on my wiki???really? [14:31:53] oh [14:32:03] this is a JavaScript thing [14:35:34] i added preview extension to my wiki but it doesnt appear, does it take a bit to implement [14:43:40] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1446874743104864287/image.png?ex=6935929c&is=6934411c&hm=124aa0b097929b59a866e4fae296ba505706e77a1f3dc4c28cdbfdf5dd12635f& [14:45:10] it does, and also preview might need a page edit to generae [14:54:23] yeah it works now but all of them give "there was an issue displaying this preview" [15:42:49] Is it possible to restrict specific pages for specific users?
