[00:03:12] [1/2] although actually now I'm double checking through I noticed you did this; you can fix it by beginning the line with ⁨`#:`⁩ instead of just ⁨`:`⁩ [00:03:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1468396437531525204/image.png?ex=6983de40&is=69828cc0&hm=645025dfc53477c6ffc57bacdb509067b32b4a66f97fe3dd47bba30086c75d51& [00:06:14] just make sure to do some previewing of your edits first, I have absolutely no idea how translating gets done so no clue how difficult that is though [00:20:22] Is there a way to change the outline color of text so that a brighter text color is more visible in light mode? [01:11:35] [1/3] I might have just locked myself out of my own wiki editing wise. [01:11:35] [2/3] I was trying to make it to where only moderators could edit the wiki since the game for this is gonna be pretty big [01:11:36] [3/3] How do I get my own perms back 😭 [01:12:10] HELP, [01:12:44] I removed all non-viewing perms from users and despite me owning the wiki I locked myself out wtf kind of security system is that [01:14:49] You'll need to add the relevant user group to yourself. [01:22:08] how do I do that? [01:30:02] Off the top of my head I can't remember. One of the Special: pages, I think. [01:54:03] You can manage group permissions via the Special:ManageWiki/permissions page, which will also show up as a link on your wiki as 'manage this wiki's permissions. [01:54:31] If your wiki is set to private and/or you removed too many rights from your group, you'll need steward assistance to reset it [02:11:58] If you aren't able to resolve it yourself with the above instructions, please leave us a note at [[SR/M]], including the URL of your wiki. [02:11:58]

[02:30:48] Done, ty [02:31:26] [1/2] its also not showing me anything for the captcha [02:31:26] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1468433740375003301/image.png?ex=698400fd&is=6982af7d&hm=c0c0e71e2a6c4f7417fbed6653cc9308c14de11e3019f36bb54463dfe7f961fe& [02:39:37] This is probably a visual editor issue. Use the "edit source" tab instead of the "edit" tab. [02:40:09] Perhaps we should disable VE by default on Meta. Most people don't use it, and it tends to mess up the formatting on SR pages. AFAIK we can disable `$wmgVisualEditorEnableDefault` and then enable `$wgVisualEditorUseSingleEditTab`. [02:40:34] We still get parsoid and discussion tools, but users won't see VE unless they explicitly enable it in preferences. [02:41:25] could I just ask somebody in dms to avoid the hassle, [02:41:31] wait hangon [02:42:00] p sure DT has that bug [02:42:11] and not VE, unless things changed since i last looked at it [02:43:31] [1/2] ok got it, ty [02:43:32] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1468436782948552768/image.png?ex=698403d3&is=6982b253&hm=326c20513117c5ae195645091344ca0148941d9fe0a3e1148c676a6764a5d2df& [02:43:45] Ah never mind then. [02:44:10] It does amaze me that we still have VE available when almost all experienced editors don't like/use it. [02:46:50] [1/2] I think I'm encountering this SR page bug again. Edit section -> make some changes -> click save -> no signature prompt appears -> save anyway -> nothing changes on the page and the new revision doesn't appear in page history. [02:46:50] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1468437614678904923/image.png?ex=69840499&is=6982b319&hm=2095e87c6bab5f8b1875f42b3e64d53e44299684f0c743e7ca55b35d609f3a36& [02:49:11] This drives me insane [02:49:41] shadowedit [02:49:58] What specture of byte bitchery keeps eating my damn SR submissions [02:53:29] I don't have my usual machine to get into greylog right now. Last time I checked there were no MediaWiki error logs. [02:54:11] API editors (e.g. https://github.com/inpageedit/inpageedit-next) still work and that's the workaround I used before [02:54:24] Work took a lot longer than expected today. Time for me to work on the fundraiser counter update [02:54:50] Yay! I love seeing numbers go up. [02:55:07] Alright, just so we're crisp - which group should have edit permissions? [02:55:18] [1/2] * is everyone [02:55:18] [2/2] Users is logged-in users only [02:55:54] The wiki is not private, so you definitely have adequate permissions to do this yourself, but happy to help as a courtesy. 🙂 [02:56:06] Mmm i dont know [02:56:09] Just moderators for the wiki [02:56:16] How can I set people as moderators actually? [02:56:19] This infamously affects RfXHelper too [02:56:32] Special:UserRights, then add the person's name [02:56:32] [[Special:UserRights]] on your wiki [02:56:33]

[02:56:39] [1/2] Ok, bet [02:56:39] [2/2] Ty! [02:56:46] I win (by 0.0002 seconds)! [02:58:54] So, just to note - since ONLY the moderator group now has edit rights, you'll either want to add moderator to yourself on top of existing roles, or add edit rights to the bureaucrat role as well [02:58:57] how can I actually set a new person as the owner of the wiki? [02:59:06] Alright, will do! [02:59:14] You lost on my discord client lol. I think your message is shown as sent on your local client before it reaches the server. [02:59:21] That is the bureaucrat role but be careful. [02:59:42] Once you've granted the role, it's more complicated to remove from another person if you want to do so later. [02:59:51] And it gives them very deep controls over the wiki's function [03:00:44] I'm gonna be giving it to the original owner of the Fandom wiki after he makes an acc on Miraheze, dw [03:04:27] Awesome, if they've managed the fandom wiki a good bit, they should be able to help on some of the more administrative stuff in getting set up. [03:10:35] $3,042.02 [03:19:45] In the first 30 hours we have raised 12% of this year’s goal and 58% of what was raised in the 2023 fundraiser [03:24:22] [1/2] Hiii!! I'm so chummed to have found Miraheze and that it's so easy to make your own wiki. I'm interested in making one for a roleplay I'm doing with a worldbuilding of a country, but I'm technologically stunted and it seems I have not much of an intuition for web development type things. Does anyone have any recommendations for where to start once you've opened a wiki, specifically if [03:24:22] [2/2] basic templates exist for core pages like a main page? [03:28:04] feel free to flame me though if this is a total rookie question though because I really am not sure where to start, but the main page makes the most sense to me? [03:32:01] [1/3] Welcome to MH, it's not a rookie/bad question at all - main page is nerve-wracking sometimes because you want it to look good to newcomers [03:32:01] [2/3] I don't know of any main page templates offhand (others might), but I always start first with thinking about what I want on the front page, then how to show it - often, you may not need a template, since main page info may not be replicated across pages. Different wikis have different things on their front pages, too, depending on what's important to the community! Community art, [03:32:02] [3/3] the amount of wiki pages, editor's guides, stream dates, patch notes... You can take a look around at some wikis to get a feel for it. This guide is also really helpful: [03:32:19] And this: [03:33:02] Dev wiki has a lot of templates that can be imported to your wiki as well, if you need them: [03:33:52] I want to try out the table filtering one: [03:34:30] Ah ok thank you so much! I will check these out, especially the html and css one's they seem super helpful [03:35:46] For sure 😤 Our wiki was a Fandom import so the customisation guide was a must-have for me when changing up skins [03:37:32] This is truly the goal!, to make a page with a table of statistics of administrative subdivisions like you see on wikipedia, where the viewer is able to sort the table themselves based on what statistics they want to see [03:39:17] Exactly, that's a great use case for it 😈 [03:51:50] Omg how do you delete a page [03:52:12] I accidentally made a page on the developer wiki instead of my own wiki (i didn't notice the difference at all I am cooked) [03:54:21] You can't delete pages on wikis you're not am admin [03:54:43] I'll see it cleaned it up, don't worry [03:54:54] Omg thank you so much [03:55:02] Course mate [03:55:03] I'm so sorry for the trouble!! [03:55:23] I'll drop a notice to the Dev Wiki admins, I can delete myself but iffy on authority [03:55:30] it's okay, it's like a couple of button presses ^^; [03:55:31] I've an unbeatable track record for making these kinds of mistakes [03:55:38] Baaah no worries, it's a few clicks [03:56:37] ok thank you soo much [03:56:44] https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Montgovia [03:56:47] ^this is the one [03:58:02] Thank you sooo much!! You all are really running a tight ship, I'm so impressed with how speedy that was done thank you! [03:58:06] So sorry for the trouble [03:58:22] I have learned my lesson 🫡 [03:58:41] We all did dumb as f stuff when we were learning man [03:58:51] Looord knows I did [03:59:12] You'll mess up, and that's fine, you'll learn [04:00:06] if i were to delete that page, the slowest and hardest thing that i'd have to do is to login to my staff account lol [04:00:31] In ten years when I have made a hostile takeover of wikipedia.google.com, I won't forget all of your help and kindness during the genesis [04:00:51] que? [04:01:36] in the sense that you have really helped out a newcomer [04:02:13] ah oki [04:10:07] [1/2] Forgot to say that I tagged it for deletion for you. [04:10:07] [2/2] I did the exact same thing on Meta a few months ago. [04:11:04] i've done the opposite: writing a whole new page for meta, and accidentally closing the tab before i hit save [04:40:22] You say that but I did basically the same thing in another wiki farm last week [04:41:51] Pretty much me when I broke my wiki's CSS twice one time. 😭 [04:45:05] shoutout to that time when i made a PR to mw-config with a syntax error [04:46:56] 🎉 [06:30:20] <18.748.837.46> [1/2] https://thecrisiswars.miraheze.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Command_Council [06:30:20] <18.748.837.46> [2/2] This is weird. The image is loading, but loading incorrectly [06:32:05] <18.748.837.46> [1/2] this is how it looks on my end, tested with two different browsers (edge and chrome). its lacking parts of the flag in the middle, if I'm not missing anything else [06:32:05] <18.748.837.46> [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407537962553966603/1468494303755243583/image.png?ex=69843965&is=6982e7e5&hm=6aa1c4fc5d4fbf0312afa2e41f10b109bfc6aded17b6ccacf60851d2deb530f8& [06:43:56] lo [08:09:26] Would it be acceptable to request a wiki whose existence might be temporary? [08:49:15] Yes, although we prefer it long term. But in some cases, for example a class project we do accept that. [08:50:45] Other cases, where it's used to prank others with a fake profile, or for testing wiki functionality, we decline [08:51:26] Testing can be done on [[mh:testwiki:]] by the way [08:51:33]

[08:52:04] So it depends what it is for. [09:07:10] oi, so im new to the wiki, how do I create new pages? [09:11:29] nvm i found out how to do so [09:11:32] mb [09:12:24] You can read up the basics at [[w:Help:Editing]] [09:12:24]

[09:13:27] ty [09:27:35] Di i really need to add /translate to every page? [09:27:55] Yes [09:28:01] Amazing [09:29:38] There are many reasons you might not want certain pages or parts of a page translated [09:29:46] Hence why tags have to be added [09:30:00] I have 600 pages [09:30:49] Id rather just reject translations that edit transclusions [09:32:10] Also how long does it take for a new language to appear on the languages top bar? [09:32:31] Its translated but doesn't show up there [09:36:18] It should show up as soon as the page is at least partially translated [09:36:28] Maybe a few minutes at most [09:36:39] Its been like 30 [09:36:52] Someone else translated and I reviewed it [09:36:58] That's unusual [09:37:24] Its all translated in the translation ui, but not showing up anywhere else [09:38:05] [1/2] Hellooo I've just got my own wiki and am currently setting up the categories. Now, I named a category "season1" before realizing I want to change it to "Season 1". I deleted the page, made a new "Season 1" category, but now "season1" shows up in categories as a red link. Is there a way to get rid of it completely? I've read about a cleanup script which could work for it but it seems [09:38:05] [2/2] like you can't run terminal commands on Miraheze [09:38:18] Also had lots of annoying empty moderation notifications [09:39:15] Request replace textures extension [09:39:32] On steward requests [09:39:59] With that extension you can replace every mention of something into something else in bulk [09:40:19] Otherwise yes you'll need to change every red link manually [09:41:48] Check Special:BrokenRedirects [09:45:48] The page i translated myself works [09:47:18] It says there are no results [09:47:36] I think there are no pages linking to "season1" actually [09:47:50] Then you fixed all the broken links, congrats [09:48:28] Oh categories have a different special page i think [09:48:55] WantedCategories [09:49:36] A list of all special pages is at Special:SpecialPages [09:53:13] Okay good, but is there a way to remove the red link from the categories special page or is that just gonna stay there? [09:53:56] The special page will show a page for as long as it has a red link on it [09:59:13] Done my dolly, sent 2$! [09:59:52] Special:WhatLinksHere could be useful [10:01:33] Now it's rejecting even my own edits [10:01:42] Is it because it's the main page? [10:01:59] Link? [10:02:10] I'm pms [10:11:34] rodejong: I'm aiming to migrate a screwturnwiki to mediawiki. Though the work is mostly structural, it's kind of hard on labor. We need to establish a new wiki structure using the template system, so it wouldn't be convenient to use the testing wiki for that purpose. If the migration is successful, it may be that the editors of the current wiki may not want to be reliant on a third party hoster. [10:15:32] Yeah that is a lot of work indeed. Hang on while I confer with the other Wiki reviewers [10:19:38] Will you be hosting your wiki with us after that? [10:20:31] You have the ability to request the wiki already, and keep it privat until the conversion of all pages are done. [10:20:39] It's not linked anywhere, whatlinkshere shows nothing [10:22:51] Hmmm. Not sure, but I've seen McFan recreate my translated pages on meta. Although I translated my Dutch translation directly. [10:22:52] whao this looks awesome [10:24:02] wait i think it has something to do with dark mode/light mode compatibility or something... i don't know [10:25:18] where is this happening? [10:26:15] [1/2] Which wiki? [10:26:15] [2/2] conformitygate.miraheze.org [10:26:28] the specific page, please [10:27:37] Which page? [10:28:23] i mean i would assume you know where the season1 shows up as a red link [10:28:27] the specific page with the red text that says "season1" [10:29:16] Oh no sorry I didn't clarify it then, it shows up in special:Categories as a red link [10:29:37] I think you still have ⁨`[[Category:Season1]]`⁩ in the articles [10:29:52] You would need to change them too as ⁨`[[Category:Season 1]]`⁩ [10:30:08] Ah... [10:30:13] That is the cache [10:30:27] It will disappear soon enough [10:31:21] what ro said [10:31:25] what are categories used for? 🤔 [10:31:37] To group pages together [10:31:40] Ok so I just wait it'll go away? [10:31:48] Yes. [10:32:07] That is slow cache though, sometimes it's there for a week or so [10:32:41] ah like... folders ? [10:32:48] Yes [10:33:12] Nice, thanks so much for your help everyone!!! [10:33:47] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Global_policies [10:34:08] For example, we have a "folder" with all our policies. [10:34:35] Each page in that folder, has a ⁨`[[Category:Global policies]]`⁩ at the bottom (or top) [10:34:52] i see very nice :) [10:34:56] That way it is easy to find similar articles [10:35:39]
