I was directed here from community central by a user. I adopted a 10-year-old wiki a few months ago. It has 11k images, at least half of which are unused. Is there a way to delete a lot of these files without going through them, one by one?

Thanks.

I was about to put 1 template in a page but when I save it, it becomes 2 template (the same template)

Today's release highlights include:

• Fixed some ThemeDesigner related AdminDashboard wiki progress tasks (upload wordmark, customize theme).

Today's release highlights include:

• Fixed some cases where the wrong bot account was being used (FANDOMBot, instead of FANDOMbot).

Note: if you experience slowdowns while editing long pages, please make sure your browser is up to date. More info here.

Would it be possible to make such template. I have basic knowledge of JavaScript and I understand that you will still be able to see it using edit/view source.

Today's release highlights include:

• Now that Chrome 97 has been out for several days, we have re-enabled spellcheck in the editor. Please make sure your browser is up to date!

• Fixed changes to achievement names not saving.

• Fixed blog lists not trimming table content correctly.

Recent release highlights include:

• Fixed existing article comments not being visible when adding new comments is turned off for individual pages.

• Fixed article selflinks not being bolded on Gamepedia-original wikis.

• Fixed Go-Search case insensitivity not working for searches with more than one space.

• Fixed moderators missing ability to see deleted comments on Message Wall.

• Improved dark theming for Lua error popups.

• A multitude of updates to blogs including: added missing Special:CreateBlogPage and Special:Myblog shortcuts, fixed redirects to posts sometimes failing, fixed various editing issues, and fixed incorrect avatars being displayed on blog lists.

As of today, the normal update schedule is resuming.

Hello!

I'm trying to use {{#invoke:charTable|data|tb}} that auto-identifies the name of the page it's on (through the Module code) and then takes an editor-inputted value ("tb") to find the matching table item (table at end of post).

Say, for example, that I place {{#invoke:charTable|data|ta}} on a page called "char1". My goal here would be to get the value of charData["char1"]["ta"} which is "A".

• "char1" = the name of the page that the module automatically figures out

• "ta" = the user-inputted parameter

I tried to use mw.title.getCurrentTitle() to get the page name from the module, but keep coming across the error "attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)."

Here's what I have in the module:

local charData = { 
     ["char1"] = { ["ta"] = "A", ["tb"] = "PersonA" },
     ["char2"] = { ["ta"] = "B", ["tb"] = "PersonB" },
     ["char3"] = { ["ta"] = "C", ["tb"] = "PersonC" }
 } 

local p = {}
	
p.data = function(frame) 
	
	local name = mw.title.getCurrentTitle() 
	local rank = frame.args[1]
	
	return charData[name][rank]
	
	end

return p

On the page called "char1" :

{{Infobox Char
| name = {{#invoke:charTable|data|ta}}
}}

We expect this to return "A" so that "A" appears in the name box of the template.

(Ideally-- I'd want to stuff invokes inside the template itself so editors don't have to look at it! Having it override user input in inboxes would also be a huge benefit! But user input overriding module output would also be fine.)

How can I get the name of the page from the module without getting this error so I can return the matching item I need to a page?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

When I try to run it in PGW, (Yes, I do have content mod rights)

It says this in the status log:

[Error: Use of some characters is prohibited by wgLegalTitleChars Preparing to edit... ]

Is there any way I have to set it up in particular? I'm rather new to ME, and the Mass Edit page in Community Central doesn't specify what I have to do.

On the Polar Express Wiki, I have created a year-round Christmas countdown that, using time functions, also displays messages for other holidays when they come. However, the messages often appear a few hours late or early because, unlike the countdown itself, they go by UTC time regardless of the reader's location. For example, I live in EST, so the message for New Year's Day will appear for me on December 31 at 7pm as opposed to January 1 at midnight. Similarly, it will disappear the next day at 7pm before New Year's Day is over.

I have tried using a countdown as the time function's date/time object:

{{#time:md|<span data-end="toggle" data-toggle=".post-countdown" data-options="no-zeros" class="countdown" style="display:none;">-<span class="countdowndate">{{#time:F j Y H:i}}:00</span></span><span class="post-countdown" style="display:none;">+<span data-options="no-zeros" class="countdown" style="display:none;"><span class="countdowndate">{{#time:F j Y H:i}}:00</span></span></span>}}

However, when I tried it, it displayed the message, "Error: Invalid time." I would guess this is because countdowns cannot be displayed in a format that time functions can read, but I also tried it with the countdown being under one minute so only seconds would appear and it still read the error message.

I have a this {{{3eST|10}}} = '''4eST''' {{#expr: ((10*{{{3eST|10}}})^0.5) round 0}} as part of a template but I want users to be able to edit the value of 3eST without people having to open the template similar to that of the CPI Inflation Calculator. 

I know from Tibia's Skill Calculator that dynamic fandom wiki pages are possible (that is way far more than what I am trying to do. Right now I am keeping what I want to do barebones simple (crawl before you walk. walk before you run).

The title is pretty self-explanatory. Is there some way to get the code you are writing in the source editor with JS?

Hello,

I have imported LinkPreview script from the Dev wiki.

It works fine for most part but seems to bug out on certain things. There are some things I'm having trouble with when testing it, even after going through the documentation and the talk page.

A version is currently live on the wiki:

https://anthem.fandom.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js

I'm trying to get the following things to happen, because the script is behaving weirdly. Sometimes, it is straight up ignoring text or images in section 0, especially if transuded from templates:

1. Ignore the contents (text and image) of templates such as quote and disambiguation and other hatnotes, all mentioned in window.pPreview.RegExp.iparents

2. Ignore the text mentioned in the captions of an image in the preview text. For some reason, captions show up.

3. Ignore the text in the Table of Contents. I don’t know why this happens. I tried doing the same as with iparents by using __TOC__ (But I think it is wrong).

4. Ignore any headings. Again, I don’t know why this happens either, but sometimes, if pages do not have anything in Section 0, section 1 contents with headings show up. I don’t mind the contents showing up, but the heading makes the preview text read oddly)

I also want to know if text can be shown in the preview if it is transcluded from a template.

Any insight on this would be very helpful.

Edit:

Example:

https://anthem.fandom.com/wiki/Ranger

Links are mentioned in bold and italicized words in the list below. All of them appear in the above mentioned page.

• Hover over Ranger Mark One. to see a new issue where no text shows up in the preview at all.

• Hover over Icetide to see an the image and text inside a disambiguation template (and a quote) in the preview.

• Hover over Corvus to see a quote inside the Quote2 template showing. (Everything before the word Corvus in the text preview is a quote and its attribution. In contrast, if you hover over Dawn Shield, you will notice the quote being completely ignored.)

• Hover over Cortex Entry: Ranger Ultimate—Micro-Missiles to see the heading show up (the Heading is H3 level and is named Ranger Ultimate—Micro-Missiles.)

• Hover over Components to see the caption used in the image show in the preview. (The caption is Icon used for Components.)

• Hover over Richards to see the table of contents and section 1 heading to show up. (the Table of Contents shows up as Contents 1 Characters 2 story 3 Trivia 4 References. And the heading is h2 level and shows up as Characters [ | ] and Story [ | ] in the preview)

(Added examples to show the issues)

Is this allowed by policy? Turns out some of the pages broken since migration rely heavily on jquery-ui autocomplete, so just having a minimal version of jquery-ui would get them to work again

I'm noob at coding. Can you guys just tell me what to press and what to type? :D. Existing guide didn't help me
