Ok so here's the thing, I've always thought you couldn't delete the ?action=history of a page but there have been some confusing moments. I'm not wanting to actually do this but something doesn't make sense.

Even if you delete a page, that page will show that there has still been some history and shows it was deleted bla bla bla.

Not too long ago I noticed something on the YouTube Wiki (Wikitubia):

The ?action=history shows that it just had 3 revisions. The thing is, I just edited and created it the day before. So can you actually delete the history? Well I then discovered all public logs and found this:

That affirms my deja vu and that someone else said this page existed before but it appears to only show when the page was created and/or deleted, and the page certainly should have more history. So what's up with that? Could there be something that restarts it after the page is re-created again? Does tags have something to do with it? Idk.

Did a test on a wiki again and logs show this:

But history would say:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Also how do you make the highlighted part that shows up with certain pages like deleted ones which have no data in it themselves, just like the attached looking template:

hope this all isn't too much and not confusing

Because I am still stress testing how Lua would interact with a while true do loop, I can't seem to make it work

local p = {}
while (true)
        do
	print("This monstrosity would write itself again and again")
	wait(1)
end

It's in here: https://wreckit-woodhouse.fandom.com/wiki/Module:InfiniteLoopTestDoNotTouch

And it invokes the module here: https://wreckit-woodhouse.fandom.com/wiki/Infinite_loop_test

I know it needs to use a function, but I can't seem to fit it in there, it would always return an error.

Any ideas?

There was only one release of note today and that was that the legibility and contrast have been improved for Special:MobileDiff on the FandomMobile skin.

Someone vandalized the page

I have just noticed that the mobile skin on this wiki turned dark-themed for me.

I have checked on a few other wikis (including the Wreckit-Woodhouse wiki which is an official wiki and it's desktop version is dark-themed) - and nope it doesn't happen there.

Any explanations? :D

The wiki I work with is currently trying to do something with TZClock. The game that we run it for has a mechanic where items will sometimes spawn in servers based on the real life EST timezone.

We want to update one of the pages to dynamically change without reloading the page, and for it to display the link to the item page. It would display the currently available items, and maybe some other information. How would I go about doing this?

(None of us are super familiar with javascript, btw. I have some experience in other languages though, and am going to take the time to learn it as necessary.)

Today's release highlights include:

• A main page gallery on the Warsawa (Polish) wiki which had been throwing a MediaWiki error has been resolved.

• Searching "qq" or "QQ" on the Chinese Minecraft wiki no longer results in an internal error.

• New mobile images galleries are now enabled across Fandom.

• Some missing translations have been added for the CreateNewWiki process for non-English wikis.

Today's release highlights include:

• The process of uploading a duplicate of a file that already exists on a wiki has been improved

• Preview in 2010 editor now shows categories and displays references in a single column

• Register account link inside the Editor Popup has been fixed

• Work is advancing on the new version of Theme Designer

• User Talk namespace now redirects to the Message Wall namespace for non-English wikis

• Reverb on non-English migrated GP wikis now links to the notification page on the correct language path

• Banners informing about new mobile experience on wikis has been removed

• Last Wednesday's release blocker has been resolved. Gallery image thumbnails now load in the Visual Editor on Mobile

• Message wall threads no longer disappear when clicked

Because I am very new to scripting, I am very cautious about what I would do. So is there a limit of what you can add in a script?

For example, maximum amount of cookies?

I haven't found any page that says any restriction, so I ask here

I tried placing the following code into my common.js but it did not work, even after closing chrome and clearing cache numerous times. I also tried adding the code to my global.js but it also did not work. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the code:

importArticles({ type: 'script', articles: [ 'u:dev:MediaWiki:MercuryPreview/code.js', ] }); importArticles ({ type : 'script' , articles : [ 'u: dev: MediaWiki: EmojiUserNav.js' , ] });

I want to change this warning thing. You know when you wanna create a page or the page is protected, it gives u a warning. I want to change that. Here is a image for wut I mean.

Hi there, Is it possible for a image to lead to a seperate page/tab and everytime someone clicks the image a counter counts how many people clicked it? Someone said that this counts as collecting user data and that It would most likely require sending data to an external service but I'm not going to collect the username or anything else but just to see how many people click it, Thanks.

Hey everyone!

We moved to daily technical releases on Mondays through Thursdays as of April 7, 2021 and I will be providing high level updates here regarding those releases moving forward. As I'm sure many of you have noticed, it's already the 8th and nothing was said yesterday. For the record, there was a technical blocker which caused the team to cancel yesterday's release. Today, there is only one bug fix of note being released:

• We had a number of wikis which experienced problems during the wiki creation process which caused some corruption of the underlying database. A search was made to identify these wikis and they have since been deleted.

Hi, is it possible to insert image frames like this one?

The screenshot is from Wikipedia.

See, I have little experience with coding in source mode. So I will copy&paste your total script :D

So basically I want to help an admin out to create this thing in the wiki she has charge of

https://bee-swarm-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Critical_Hits

I'm not trying to advertise btw :(

So this page has a kind of animation like this. (The animation after 1st para).

I don't know the exact name of that type of thingy. So can you please help me with the script of kind of zooming out animation? If you can't understand, I will try to make you understand again.

I want to create that kind of zooming animation.

Font: Sans Pro

Color : One of them will be yellow, other will be grey

If other information is needed, please tell me. If you can'y understand what I'm saying, please tell me.

And if you know how to make this please tell me NOW.

Hello!

After translating the main page of the wiki to hebrew - which is a right-to-left language - I have noticed something.

The text "WELCOME" at the top of the page is styled with text-align :left; by targeting .introduction .header in the MediaWiki:Wikia.css. This left-alignment is kept when going to the subpage Fandom_Developers_Wiki/he too, which is a mismatch with the language but is expected because the element classes are the same.

However, when using ?uselang=he, not only the paragraphs get right-aligned (because of the dir=rtl) but also the text mentioned above gets right aligned. Checking on the dev tools, it appears that the change is applied directly into the wiki styles, so the same CSS rule is applied except with text-align: right;

This is surprising me because the code on MediaWiki:Wikia.css is a custom code and is not supposed to repsond to ?uselang . Is that a built-in behavior? A special setup for this wiki? Is there a hidden MediaWiki:Wikia/rtl.css page somewhere? Or does load.php flips all alignments in the stylesheet when called with ?uselang=he (or ?uselang=ar, for the matter)?

How did you customize the color of text in the Popular pages rail module?

I'm not sure what happened but seems like AjaxPoll in multiple wikis is broken. It's now only showing [object Object] in red. I'm not sure if it's just me, so can someone check what's going on?
