[00:31:10] will SUL3 save miraheze aa [00:32:14] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463330311764049941/image.png?ex=6971700d&is=69701e8d&hm=a607cb4a3a86b31fa382433b96aedf37cb81bcbe69c4a705f0971fbd8b0c7e05& [00:32:23] Doesn't replace CentralAuth, but should be a substantial improvement [00:32:57] Please provide details in #tech , most importantly which wiki you got that on [00:53:26] Taylor Swift collab with miraheze [00:53:36] lol [01:04:09] [1/2] the green line of death is gone 〽️ [01:04:10] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463338346242900048/image.png?ex=69717789&is=69702609&hm=2f0e7e576a39ef5e20685706581ac429a499fdafbef44cd86ddaccfa855162c3& [01:44:27] [1/2] I'm working on the wiki for a pixel art game and wanted to use icons similar to this one in the descriptions of the wiki (since thats what the game itself does) and was wanting to know what the best way to go about that was. Do I need multiple sizes for the icons? [01:44:27] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463348486257905766/image.png?ex=697180fa&is=69702f7a&hm=3351b212a78862b18840ae4e6bebb73583c438d84e0b1df58a825fd6e79b176b& [01:46:53] [1/2] For an ingame example of how that looks like: [01:46:53] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463349098659971185/image.png?ex=6971818c&is=6970300c&hm=7c661bcd4374eb4a98fa231d1ed3837704ced4147619d0f3f454272fff37eca5& [01:47:03] [1/2] If it's an svg image then size doesn't matter because it can be scaled up losslessly. [01:47:03] [2/2] If it's a png image just upload a large enough image and then specify the size according to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images [01:47:55] I have a PNG file for them. Should I try to convert it to an SVG file? [01:48:30] The work is quite involved, so I won't recommend that. If they're large enough you can just use them normally. [01:49:16] Should i be scaling them up to be divisible by a specific number without losing quality? [01:50:17] It won't matter in the end. Scaling one more time will not make the quality better. [02:06:16] [1/3] is there any way to edit the backgrounds of image frames on the cosmos skin so it appears more like the right? [02:06:16] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463353975662444605/image.png?ex=69718617&is=69703497&hm=45c6c74e3f54cc15ea9e3b3693abe7d36b6ea616f7c938c54a06420320d34a97& [02:06:16] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463353975959982161/image.png?ex=69718617&is=69703497&hm=5a836e6e9b47e0c61d0154ba6ea259c07afd6970f22a8eeeb47539de5d6c32b1& [02:06:58] whats the problem? White background? [02:07:23] yeah not a huge fan of the white backgrounds in the image frames [02:08:10] You can get photoshop or gimp and remove the background in one of those programs. Gimp is the one I'm familiar with and its free. [02:08:59] oh the images are already transparent im talking about how in my new miraheze wiki the backgrounds in the image frames are solid white [02:09:11] whereas in my old fandom wiki (right), the backgrounds were transparent like the image [02:09:27] New to wiki creation so I can't help you there [02:09:53] same! [02:10:14] so glad to have ditched Fandom but im struggling to get accustomed with the new inputs n stuff [02:26:03] you can open inspect element and click on the background [02:26:15] using the inspector tool [02:26:58] you edit it using css [02:29:44] but does that change it sitewide? [02:29:48] yeah [02:29:58] Inspect Element..? [02:30:04] I thought the changes don't apply? [02:30:11] yeah inspect element changes are just local my man [02:30:52] so you use inspect element to find the class and the css declaration (rule) that's causing the background color to be white [02:31:11] I think he means you put the css in the MediaWiki:[skin/common].css [02:31:13] OHHH i see my bad [02:31:23] ^ [02:31:43] thank you fellow moon animator-bro 🙏 [02:31:49] np [03:25:22] Question real quick, do you happen to use a computer? Or are you editing with a mobile device? [03:25:35] I have some browser extensions I'd like to recommend you that might help you learn CSS. [03:25:38] on PC [03:25:43] Which browser do you use? [03:25:50] chrome [03:26:05] show me your ways o wise one [03:26:10] Check this out. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne [03:26:36] One of our CSS wizards Kittygirl recommended this to me. It's intended to let you customize any webpage with client-side CSS. [03:26:43] And is extremely helpful when prototyping CSS. [03:27:01] Especially since the changes it makes are instantaneous. [03:27:41] Violentmonkey's a similar extension, except it specializes in JS instead of CSS. https://violentmonkey.github.io/ [03:32:29] [1/3] These are some useful links on how learning CSS itself. [03:32:29] [2/3] * https://www.w3schools.com/Css/ [03:32:29] [3/3] * https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/index.php [03:33:13] It's actually not that hard to pick up. Like kuurubizu81 said, inspect element's your friend. [04:02:20] thank you very much! i’ll check it out [04:54:45] [1/3] Probably the wrong channel but [04:54:45] [2/3] How can miraheze be used exactly (also in terms of ownership, contribution and higher ranking roles)? And is it affiliated with fandomwiki? [04:54:45] [3/3] I haven't gotten to all the articles yet but would still like to know [04:56:14] Not sure exactly what you mean by first question, would you like to expand on that a little? We are not affiliated with Fandom at all. [05:07:24] This is a good primer on most of the questions [05:07:25] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/FAQ [05:34:36] @dgox2 [05:34:47] thank u [05:34:47] enjoy being yellow [05:34:53] no, thank you <3 [09:39:13] how do i confirm email [09:44:07] check email [09:44:13] like the inbox [09:44:56] It didnt apper [09:45:59] nvm [09:46:09] i changed emails due to my main having some issue ig [09:50:01] can i ask [09:50:05] or nvm [09:50:15] ? [09:55:55] if i request a wiki that is for lore of a game inspired by another game [09:55:59] would that be copying [10:24:47] Depends how much detail you can give on the changes and how closely they would resemble the original. [10:44:39] guys do i have to Phorge task for the redirect [10:45:09] cuz i have spent my time fixing your new site (forgewiki.org), but inever told Google that our Old Miraheze Subdomain (e.g., theforge.miraheze.org) has moved to the new address. [10:49:36] so tell google that you've moved? [10:52:43] yep when i type my old URL into a browser (e.g., https://theforge.miraheze.org/wiki/Weapons). It should instantly change to https://forgewiki.org/wiki/Weapons. [10:53:33] yeah req for redirect on phorge [10:53:42] then also inform google search console youve moved site domains [11:00:52] erm how do i do that console? [11:01:14] in url inspection? [11:03:44] https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9370220?hl=en [11:13:17] thaankss [12:33:42] I get a conformation code whenever I try to save anything in miraheze meta or Commons. Why so? [12:53:38] [1/2] seems like theres forsaken wiki duplicates [12:53:38] [2/2] [[mh:forsakengame]] [[mh:forsakenwiki]] [[mh:forsaken2024]] [[mh:forsaken2025]] [12:53:39]

[1/4] [12:53:40]

[2/4] [12:53:40]

[3/4] [12:53:40]

[4/4] [12:53:46] isnt it like a policy violation or something [12:59:07] Depends on when they were creating, but if they are recent, then yes [13:03:53] Yeah, these are all forks. Created in 2025 [13:04:04] Taken it upstream. Thanks [16:33:54] To be clear, we don't actively hunt out duplicates as a practice, and until very recently the forsaken wiki was private, making other attempts at the project permissible [16:34:22] If some of these are substantially developed, we'll likely ask whether they'd like to fold into the main project rather than close outright, if the main project is open for editing. [17:09:07] is it just me or the wikimedia commons images just showing red links in miraheze [17:18:21] there are problems w/ wm commons for some time already [17:40:47] can someone help me install the lockdown extension or something that i can use to limit the pages that users can read [17:43:24] [1/3] you can't install extensions on miraheze, tech team does that after review [17:43:24] [2/3] and there's high chance an extension about limiting access will be rejects for security concerns [17:43:25] [3/3] MediaWiki wasn't build w/ such functionality in mind, on Miraheze you get either everything is public, or fully private wiki w/ a possibility of whitelist [17:45:32] im trying to make a wiki for the players in my dnd campaign where when they learn about something or spend enough time interacting with they can unlock new pages about that thing and learn new information about that thing so i want to have all the pages pre written so i can just move them to a namespace that they can access pages in and then they can see them [17:50:20] can someone help with this [17:50:24] pls [17:51:50] I'd recommend using some other platform, honestly. [17:52:09] It's not something mediawiki is set up to do. [17:55:10] anything you can recommend off the top of your head? [17:56:47] Aside from emailing them a bunch of word documents, not really? [17:56:53] k [17:57:03] thanks anyway, i have something in mind [17:57:13] No worries, sorry I couldn't help. [18:30:46] As mentioned above, hat sort of visibility control is better suited to another tool, in my personal campaings I've run google docs/google drive is one that I've used with relative success. Beyond that, you could get very very clever with 'private' wiki settings and whitelisting specific namespaces, but we don't fully guarantee that something won't slip [18:43:14] [1/3] newbie question but I think I uploaded the logo aeons ago anddddddddddd [18:43:14] [2/3] it hasn't changed at all- [18:43:15] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463604871298154536/image.png?ex=69726fc1&is=69711e41&hm=531b389df1a5b4beae2b35a77db421db80aa682f72ad07346bc7a3721258fe24& [18:46:30] Link to wiki? Some use logo, some use icon [18:47:34] [1/3] https://tihp.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [18:47:34] [2/3] I believe the one used is this one? [18:47:34] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463605961347432519/image.png?ex=697270c5&is=69711f45&hm=f191850dfa4e546289886e525d2da365c42462b063cce97779bd241a5e13ccd2& [18:48:06] Hmm, I'm seeing the logo on hy end... [18:48:37] I'm unsure, because I am on a new browser [18:49:06] Is it a little vectored Tsuchinoko snake? [18:49:10] Yep. [18:49:26] Oh, if you go into preferences (top right icon) appearance, what skin do you show as having selected? [18:49:49] Vector Legacy 2010 [18:50:01] Try switching to 2022 [18:50:22] [1/2] It works on 2022, I just don't personally like it 😭 [18:50:22] [2/2] I suppose I will be forever stucky on it [18:50:36] Nah, I think 2010 uses icon instead of logo [18:50:45] Trying to confirm that now [18:51:26] Yeah, I'm seeing it on 2010 now. 😄 [18:51:39] I [18:51:43] may or may have not been dumb and [18:51:56] [1/2] forgot to switch this one. [18:51:56] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1463607060305412208/image.png?ex=697271cb&is=6971204b&hm=e7cad54ebe978f37555a96f59d71c40cdb67cc430a88057a9485c2cd31589b88& [18:52:02] Yep, all good [18:52:10] pog, thank you Aracham! [18:52:30] Different skins use different ones for history reasons I don't remember off top of mind, glad you got it sorted [18:52:38] [1/2] wait no [18:52:38] [2/2] not fixed [18:53:04] [1/3] it only appears in the preferences page [18:53:04] [2/3] but if I am on any other page, stuck on the Miraheze one [18:53:05] [3/3] that's unique [18:53:14] You probably have locally cached versions of the page, or we have server-cached copies that need to expire before the logo rolls through. [18:53:19] Either way, should resolve itself in time [18:53:27] roger that! [18:53:36] aight, back to autistic TTRGP writing I go [18:53:59] We love our TTRPG communities, may the words flow. 😄 [21:04:36] I just send my players google docs or .pdf documents myself. Some VTTs have functionality for that though. [21:04:53] (virtual tabletops if you're not sure what that means) [22:11:26] I have an odd request [22:11:36] Is it possible to move from root domain to a subdomain [22:11:43] and make the rootdomain redirect to a subdomain [22:11:52] like from wiki.org to en.wiki.org for example [22:12:04] I made a request for that but I'm not sure if it's even possible [22:25:02] @abaddriverlol ? You know? [22:25:54] does titlekey build its search index automatically? [23:30:18] [1/4] I help admin over on the archipelago wiki. I noticed by chance on archive.org that the subdomain `archipelago.miraheze.org` did at one point have a "wiki deleted" page parked on it back in 2024: [23:30:19] [2/4] [23:30:19] [3/4] Would anybody be willing to sate my curiosity as to 1) confirm that a wiki did used to exist, and 2) what it was about? [23:30:19] [4/4] This is not a remotely important thing to respond to, but if the info is public somehow, I'd be curious to know more :3 [23:34:51] pickle [23:36:15] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/33609 [23:36:58] with fairly rare exception, the queue comes in clutch to get an idea as long as you have a domain name/database name to look up [23:37:31] though the older the request gets the more likely it will be rather vague because standards have shifted in favor of getting more information over the 2020s so far [23:38:41] Oh, haha [23:38:42] It's this guy [23:39:33] I've run into his works a couple times because of the inevitable name collision. I think he moved to Fandom lol [23:41:29] Thanks for the help! [23:49:24] hey, if i write JS will it work on a Special: page? [23:52:36] most special pages [23:52:43] it won't work on Special:Preferences [23:52:59] or some others like I think Special:Gadgets
