[00:01:08] We are also currently paused on reviewing while tech handles the maintenance window. [00:01:12] It varies indeed. And at the moment our AI stopped working so it delays it a bit more [00:01:22] I'm planning to move the queue by at least 40 today once we're unblocked. [00:01:44] (Reviewers can attest, this is actually a small number for me and I'll likely get through more) [00:01:55] Yup 😄 [00:02:21] NotAracham likes to clear the cues entirely if he gets the chance [00:02:58] We'll also have more help in the near future, so will likely trend back to that 1-3 day mark [00:06:06] Oh, 212 requests under review? 👀 [00:09:12] He’s terrifying [00:11:49] The image upload is still down when is it coming back up [00:12:01] Soon very soon. [00:19:09] It’s back up thabks [00:19:45] i assume its all rolling back up as we speak? [00:19:55] can move and upload files, but not all are loading [00:20:02] All but one server is back up. Some files may not load yet. [00:33:13] We've completed it all now [00:33:45] i was getting 1 new image loading every refresh [00:33:57] only 2 of my 100 images left to load [00:34:15] thank youwu tech team [00:37:43] 👍 [00:38:17] [1/2] Yahoo files! [00:38:17] [2/2] -# i say, as I'm about to having to upload new gimmicks for the CONECORP wikis [00:50:32] Another maintenance swag [00:57:56] 7pm - 11pm aswell [00:58:03] thats prime editing time [01:03:58] Hopefully it won't take the entire time I mentioned in the announcement this time. [01:06:23] 1pm to 5pm for me... Generally a busy time for me at least, but I will still be dramatic and die like fanfic people do whenever ao3 goes down bahaha [01:32:55] miraheze broke???? [01:33:05] just worked for me [01:48:44] does anyone know how often the dmca email is checked [01:54:49] I dont know if we get enough of those to have an estimate, its likely checked when the people who handle those check their other emails [01:55:49] The email was received, I generally sift through non urgent TS matters on weekends [02:05:15] [1/2] hey guys, is there a reason that pages such as Scythe/Lore and Sword/Lore arent appearing in this search? are subpages excluded from cirrussearch? they dont even seem to appear in the actual search either [02:05:15] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461541781278560493/image.png?ex=696aee5a&is=69699cda&hm=3824b72bc0c2c8275b06c2c8eaf7ff474d6a5d8b1ca0fc9459cb50fb11f05442& [02:05:44] [1/2] the /Lore page appears if you search the rootpage but not the subpage? [02:05:44] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461541904087908487/image.png?ex=696aee78&is=69699cf8&hm=7386dc746ac726ceb25766a520bebb9de0f7527b92de3556bab0a3d9ac30405a& [02:10:13] You can create redirects, (ej. Lore (Sword) [02:10:35] Because the system only detects the first letters, not the last or the ones in between. [02:11:27] i see, i see [02:11:45] thats a shame that it cant search IN page names DX [02:11:54] but thank you for the tip! [03:10:22] Is it too late to have the savagepedia wiki re-stored? I forgot about it until now. [03:21:41] <_chrs_, replying to tag365plus> looks like its too late for you to have it simply re-opened, but all wikis are backed up to the internet archive (this is your latest backup: https://archive.org/details/miraheze-wiki-savagepediawiki-20251218) so you could request an import [03:22:01] Oh no... [03:23:39] <_chrs_> dw you shouldn't have lost any content [04:26:24] we also keep full backups of current state right before total deletion for awhile anyway. @reception123 does those. [04:27:50] How long? [04:28:02] If able to be shared [04:28:47] We havent run any actual deletions in over a year until like a week ago. So we'd still have any from then. [04:35:55] I believe we also take monthly backups and upload the public wikis to IA don’t we? [04:36:05] Yes [04:56:44] I requested for a wiki under the name theemperorpenguinz today based on things that I have made up in my imagination I haven't gotten any confirmation of this wiki being created yet if you know any people who can help me thank you [04:57:55] And on another note this wiki will be accessible to anyone just find the wiki under the name imagination [04:58:23] Current backlog (oldest unhandled request) in request wiki queue is about 4 days 15 hours (216 requests). [04:59:12] We go through them from oldest to newest, so it will take some time. [04:59:26] That's a lot of requests [04:59:55] Mind you, we are also all unpaid volunteers who do this in our spare times, and we're all swamped 😄 [05:00:06] But we do our best [05:00:54] Thank you please in your spare time after it is made please check out my wiki for any of your imaginary creations [05:48:40] i think i spammed so much random stuff on my summaries to the point i think i got myself on the blocklist [05:48:48] mainly on the sb64 wiki [05:49:40] i think i should stop doing that [05:51:25] oh [05:51:34] yeah i got added there from a pretty random block [05:57:48] It doesnt really mean anything tbh [05:59:08] i assume the purpose of global blocklist is to track bad actors more easily? [05:59:45] im retiring using "add butter" as a summary to add license and categories [05:59:50] or small items [06:07:14] In theory, but tbh I don’t think anyone truly uses that determine anything, its moreso based on actual reports and actually looking at the edits [06:07:34] yeah, i see on why [06:07:51] especially with false flags, eg a user being blocked for an unfair reason [06:08:57] Well that and tbh that channel has so much information you’d be hard pressed to actually find something solely by relying on that [06:12:14] true true, again with the false flags i just brought up [06:12:24] and pretty unreliable too as you alluded [06:17:33] halo uh oh [06:18:39] jumpscare [07:05:57] [1/3] took a peek at my wiki's analytics for the hell of it, what the fuck [07:05:58] [2/3] based on what the most visited pages are in the same report, I think it was all bots but I'm a bit curious where they came from [07:05:58] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461617457218191544/image.png?ex=696b34d5&is=6969e355&hm=7e95b7abc643bc08f737433d23b56ddf3449908d6c6bc7b72a85018edcc4e8e4& [07:10:46] that is indeed interesting, can you drop me an email at `skye@miraheze.org` so I can take a look later? mention your wiki url at least [07:24:44] Email sent [07:25:28] received, cheers <3 [08:03:26] [1/2] I did some work [08:03:26] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461631914145484953/image.png?ex=696b424c&is=6969f0cc&hm=c08430eeed70764164a253cc3e3a0e8b216ca93e0f5a95ca48a139425d7a025d& [08:03:53] Merry wiki'ing to those who now have wikis [08:04:12] 🫡 [08:05:19] <_chrs_, replying to notaracham> [1/2] see it's a lot more terrifying if you turn off grouping [08:05:20] <_chrs_, replying to notaracham> [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461632397404672158/Screenshot_2026-01-16_030445.png?ex=696b42bf&is=6969f13f&hm=2cd9daf74d15a830ef861485b7e0cc7aa0540f22f054f87a1e995acc9ef7e112& [08:05:26] might have something to sign for you soon :3 [08:06:09] Everything is fine by me, but that thing... that thing scares me. /silly [08:07:13] I'll get my digital inkpad ready. [08:07:55] I believe we use some sort of local signing software, but will see. [08:08:45] I'm mentally exhausted atm though, gonna call it a night. Yeah, happy to do esig/print-and-sign initiated by the other group too, but won't be hopping on any int'l fights. [08:09:20] fair enough, take care! [08:09:33] oh don't worry you won't need to fly here hahahahaha [08:09:39] should be akin to docusign [08:10:10] All good then, very familar w/ docusign, signwell, adobesign or whatever theyr'e calling it now. Whatever's clever. [08:11:21] i think the local variant is called vismasign [08:11:52] for intl contracts I do believe you get to draw your signature on :p [08:16:22] A little cluster of hexagons drawn for a legally binding contract. 🤣 [08:17:34] 🤣 [08:17:55] <_chrs_, replying to notaracham> look that's more complicated then my signature [08:21:45] It's like a Pringle or a civ turn - one more couldn't possibly hurt, right? [08:22:11] 1 hour later [08:26:01] <_chrs_, replying to notaracham> [1/3] one... [08:26:02] <_chrs_, replying to notaracham> [2/3] more... [08:26:02] <_chrs_, replying to notaracham> [3/3] [request/playthrough/bowl of pasta/precinct-level election map]... [08:59:28] Statistic of the day (I'm not making this a consistent thing just fyi): 3 people used Miraheze on their Playstation in the past 2 weeks. [09:01:26] that's big [09:01:46] true marker of success [09:03:25] <_chrs_, replying to pskyechology> truly one of the `User-Agent`'s of all time [09:03:42] <_chrs_> you do sort of forget that console's can do that [09:05:54] i wish that one UA that queried an image of "Cinderella Diamond" 5 million times a very 403 Forbidden [09:06:13] (why lmao, what are they doing) [09:15:02] <_chrs_> if it's not an AI crawler then it's doing a darn good job of pretending to be one [09:16:01] <_chrs_> /me installs firefox extension to change useragent to a smart fridge [09:21:33] we do regularly block UAs of suspicious origin, but it is an arms race [09:22:24] /auth [09:47:11] A few years I used to set my User-Agent to Motorola CP100d [09:48:00] [1/2] For reference this is what that is [09:48:00] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461658237634871390/IMG_6436.png?ex=696b5ad0&is=696a0950&hm=8a16fce28229589bd4fbddf13f048ee39a66b70cc7469d0c875e8a43f347c0d7& [09:50:27] i should change our UAs to that [09:50:44] im sure the WMF will be very happy to see motorolas making millions of requests [09:51:36] I got a better one Motorola Advisor Elite [09:51:50] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461659203486744687/IMG_6437.png?ex=696b5bb6&is=696a0a36&hm=0883d9555f941df415c540286c6b64cafb1adcba8f29d1a0b18a0303d9b95cc1& [10:00:35] sheeeeesh [10:25:08] yeah I just don't, maybe I'll peep in if I am looking for something specific but otherwise [11:20:12] neater than my sig [11:21:19] is there an article where it explains (tutorial) on how to import some templates from wikipedia? [11:23:59] <_arawynn> [1/2] You shouldn't import templates from Wikipedia, they're usually extremely complicated and tend to not work unless you really know what you're doing. [11:23:59] <_arawynn> [2/2] There's easier templates on Dev Wiki [11:25:18] ^ [11:50:36] can you send me the link of Dev Wiki? [11:50:50] thanks [11:51:13] [[mh:dev:]] [11:51:14] [11:52:35] thanks [12:31:02] [1/6] i need some help with regex replace [12:31:03] [2/6] can you guys give me a formula that turns [12:31:03] [3/6] ``[[{{tkw|blahblah}}]]`` [12:31:03] [4/6] into [12:31:04] [5/6] ``{{tkw|[[blahblah]]}}`` [12:31:04] [6/6] where "blah blah" can change? [12:35:39] `\[\[\{\{([Tt]kw)\|(.*?)\}\}\]\]` replace with `{{\1|\[\[\2\]\]\}\}` [12:36:17] might possibly need to replace `\1`/`\2` with `$1` or `$2` [12:41:35] i don't think it's finding anything [14:15:31] what program are you trying to use [14:20:59] also try a second replacement like `\[\[([^\|])\|\{\{[Tt]kw\|[^\}]\}\}\]\]` with `{{tkw|[[$1]]}}` [14:21:31] for pages like [[mh:tokuwin:e]] [14:21:31] [14:48:37] Is there any JS script that automatically delete the Fandom "Thread", "Message Wall", and "User Blog" namespaces? [14:53:01] i used [[WP:JWB]], and manually held the [[access key]] to delete (hover over the buttons to see the character), but there were like 50 pages total in my case, so ymmv [14:53:04] @link [14:53:04] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/WP:JWB https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/access_key [14:53:19] https://enwp.org/access_key [14:55:33] couldnt you also use the nuke extension [14:56:36] oh [14:56:44] found a fork of AjaxBatchDelete [14:59:21] or nukedpl [15:32:56] nukedpl, I think it's mentioned on [[user:PetraMagna/fandom]] [15:32:57] [15:33:32] or just run 5 pywikibot scripts for 3 days like I did [15:34:12] <_chrs_, replying to thewwrnerdguy> see that's the real way to do it [15:34:39] this was before the miraheze migration though so I don't think there was another way [15:36:21] <_chrs_> ahh yeah that makes sense [15:50:52] NukeDPL is easiest in this case [16:31:22] can anyone help me, i dont know how to make it so that only me and my friends can access my wiki. i tries removing all permissions from 'everyone' but when i type in the url in incognito i can still see it even though i am not logged in [16:34:55] set your wiki to private in Special:ManageWiki/core [16:35:35] this will prevent accounts without the administrator and member role from viewing the wiki [16:35:43] [1/2] it is [16:35:44] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461760844093198490/image.png?ex=696bba5f&is=696a68df&hm=ef1ec7b8d224a74824fb50ed47dd7fedf9cb0c96e65e6a4558198f77d8bf42f3& [16:36:24] i can still see it on incognito/when not logged in [16:37:09] i have no idea why🥲 [16:38:01] everyone can view your main page even when private [16:38:37] so if i just make the main page a title and nothing else then i can add other pages and people cant see them? [16:38:45] yea [16:39:23] thank you soooooo much😁 [16:40:48] [1/2] hi, is there any way to fix this "cache key is invalid" problem with my math equations without just fixing them when I see them [16:40:49] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461762123347525775/image.png?ex=696bbb90&is=696a6a10&hm=9f03f7a769f1bc26732ff57ec7f0cd2d809df0e468494c0c60d020215db9c3a1& [17:55:49] purge the page [18:14:47] https://tenor.com/view/cat-cache-computer-gif-11548989 [18:15:08] or what skye said [18:50:20] how can I activate the visual editor? [18:52:31] enable the extension [18:53:14] If you are logged in, most wikis will have a 'manage this wiki's extensions link somewhere on the page [18:53:33] I joined today I do not know how to do it [18:53:35] ok [18:53:44] H [18:53:45] Otherwise you can go to Special:ManageWiki/extensions to get there [18:53:55] Wiki extensions? [18:54:09] How do they work actually? [18:54:11] You'll find visualeditor under the editors extension, but full warning it'll take a few minutes to fully activate once you enable it [18:54:28] Same way as magnets, I bet [18:54:44] i dont remember them being made out of code but sure [18:54:45] So they’re basically building blocks in a nutshell? [18:55:08] its like adding more lego bricks to your build yeah [18:55:21] ok that explains it all [18:55:30] 👍 [18:55:49] [1/4] Heh, jokes side: [18:55:50] [2/4] * Templates are pre-formatted script on a wiki that lets you do repetitive tasks easy [18:55:50] [3/4] * Modules are written in lua and let your wiki do new, more complicated things [18:55:50] [4/4] * Extensions are pre-compiled bundles of code that plug into mediawiki to let it do even weirder, wilder things [18:56:07] Oooo [18:56:19] I’ve never really known modules a lot [18:56:24] Nor extensions [18:56:30] Thanks NotAracham! [18:57:12] Lego bricks is a good analogy, though [18:57:24] now the visual editor option appears but the editor does not start [18:57:32] I’ve used templates before, mainly on the Superstar Racers and SUPER BLOX 64 wikis. [18:57:50] -# sb64 is so barebones I’ve been doing 90% of the work with content [18:57:53] sometimes the lego brick is actually a thermonuclear device [18:58:01] we call that an oopsie [18:58:25] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/407537962553966603/1461795689251213403 [18:58:41] (This is one of those situations where it can take up to an hour to finish all the things) [18:59:46] I've barely delved into Modules myself despite having operated two wikis to pretty good effect. I know just enough Lua to brute-force what I need and that's fine by me./ [18:59:51] also got flagged MULTIPLE times whilst editing my drafts, 90% of the time it’s random content especially with summaries that are full on random [19:00:17] Wait are there guidelines AGAINST irrelevant summaries? [19:00:29] you do whatever you want on your wiki [19:00:41] I just add random content as summaries [19:00:47] Hold on [19:01:03] It's also at the local wiki admin's discretion whether you can continue doing that if you aren't the admin [19:01:04] bad practice, sure. do we care? not really [19:01:51] the edit in question is literally adding the fact you can despawn sea urchins [19:02:28] murderer [19:02:34] you KILLED them [19:02:35] :] [19:02:52] I found that from someone else when they told me [19:02:58] Why do I have to carry the wiki [19:03:07] The main page isn’t even done 😭 [19:03:16] And idk how to code so I’m just [19:03:18] Stuck there [19:03:59] I did carry with the assets for [[mh:superstarracers]] especially with the GIF files [19:04:00] [19:04:52] Pretty sure for the wikis I’ve been editing they haven’t said anything like this, so I’m ok atm [19:05:07] But yeah I see how that can be ‘a problem’ [19:05:37] I just find adding random content as summaries totally funny. [19:05:40] Yeah, just something you need to chat out if it gets perceived as disruptive and reaches the level of a local block [19:05:57] Most admins won't bat an eye as long as the content is actually content and not vandalism [19:06:04] True. [19:06:16] If that’s vandalism you get the point: punishment. [19:07:58] or otherwise uh. [19:08:06] Super inconvenient text wall. [19:08:18] Sob [19:34:53] lol it is [19:35:42] the pages the mp links to arent fully finished so we havent pushed it yet [19:35:43] anyway [19:36:09] [1/2] would anyone know why there is 2 link icons here [19:36:09] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461806249242001566/image.png?ex=696be4a8&is=696a9328&hm=676c969f75436d1ed2eb1c9bbae17d7328596b0a8b993c3a1bef8f8d6a04961e& [19:36:16] ``[https://www.roblox.com/games/74996816424339/OVERKILL

How do I give someone editor perms on my wiki? [20:43:43] go to their user page and there should be something in the sidebar that says "view user groups" (or is it "change user groups"?) [20:57:34] [1/2] Thanks. Another thing. I don't seem to find "Monobook" here.

Several Common files and templates that contain files still show as red links. Hope this gets fixed soon please. [21:14:29] <_chrs_, replying to thewwrnerdguy> depends on if there's any groups you can change for that user [21:21:38] Thank you. [21:30:20] did you ever figure this out? [21:31:09] i never did implement it, but i think there may be a Special: page that triggers a page edit/creation [21:31:23] unfortunately its been so long that i cant recall it off the top of my head [21:39:12] Is access to commons just.. non-existent [21:39:28] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461837285615079546/image.png?ex=696c0190&is=696ab010&hm=558ee2a9cc603743cf6eca7614bd89ba8948984966cad357e78ce05d0fb7b9f3& [21:40:36] purge [21:40:38] purge [21:41:41] didnt work [21:41:52] other SVG files from commons(??) work fine [21:42:05] what about purging on the template page itself [21:42:11] i assume it's a template [21:42:24] No we actually don't use templates its ermm against our MOS heh... [21:42:34] nope [21:42:49] can you link the page/template [21:42:55] https://forsaken.wiki/Template:Needswork [21:42:55] <_chrs_> I've seen this happening on some interface pages actually [21:47:06] hi [21:47:12] <_chrs_> hmm it might be this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/InstantCommons#Set_custom_user_agent [21:47:13] H [21:57:45] Yeah okay it seems the image downtime messed up access to wikimedia commons. [21:58:00] Should I bring this up in #tech ? [21:59:17] That is unlikely related. [21:59:38] The file downtime should not have affected commons. [22:03:37] considering it only happened after downtime? [22:03:51] Special:EditPage [22:04:13] alright [22:04:29] Coincidence? the downtime only affected the servers that host our files, we dont host commons so definitely should not have affected that. [22:07:58] Something must have happened. What's weird is that it's only some wikicommons files. [22:36:10] Are @pskyechology's instant commons patches still applied? [22:36:58] We already do that as of earlier this week [22:38:55] Changing the UA to a custom one was part of the work we did to help getting the unintended blocking of us [22:49:23] <_chrs_> well that would explain what I was seeing (inexplicable redlinks and then hours thereafter the images worked) [22:49:50] https://tokuwin.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:MassEditRegex [22:52:39] If it was between the 11th and 14th then that has been fixed and if you follow #announcements you'll see we've been in contact with WMF SRE [22:53:30] But also we use QuickInstantCommons not InstantCommons for reference [23:04:36] okay so for mer you'd want `/\[\[([^\|])\|\{\{[Tt]kw\|[^\}]\}\}\]\]/` to be replaced with `{{tkw|[[$1]]}}` [23:04:51] thank you [23:06:22] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1461859150207127634/image.png?ex=696c15ed&is=696ac46d&hm=9956657cbc01f699bb99708d4f315fbe5c6ff014452590344a9af7a50ec9fdc0& [23:06:38] this is not really my intended result [23:08:42] eh, i'll do it manually [23:09:18] oh wait [23:09:45] it's producing intended results in other places [23:09:57] i think they outnumber the unintended ones [23:14:05] okay replace the `[^\|]` bit with `[^\|\]]` [23:14:21] https://regex101.com/ might help [23:37:13] i applied the regex and manually changed the quirks [23:37:24] already [23:50:54] argh i keep mixing up wikimedia and mediawiki
