#mediawiki — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #mediawiki, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Same question, different user, different answer, by design!

    An admin asks about executive pay and gets a cited answer. A regular employee asks the same and honestly gets none: your #MediaWiki chatbot only ever draws on pages the asking user may read.

    No separate permission system: your wiki's existing permissions decide what it may use to answer. Confidential pages stay confidential.

  2. I’ve posted my newest monthly update about technical changes that impact the Commons community but that have not been communicated via the more ‘generic’ news updates.

    The topics are discovered and compiled into a list by a (Claude Sonnet created) software tool and then filtered again by me and I rework the list into a shareable post.

  3. Choose the AI behind your wiki's answers!

    Configure your #MediaWiki chatbot via the admin panel: pick the provider, from Anthropic and OpenAI to the French Mistral and Swiss Apertus, or your own self-hosted model. Tune the chat features and apply your branding.

  5. Just wrote a piece of software (with help of #mistralai): a #MediaWiki CategoryDiver.

    The tool is build e.g. to parse a custom given root category in #WikimediaCommons and get all subcategories (no depth limit) visualize them and return additionally a json file including all filenames in a certain category.

    Feedback welcome.

  6. @firefoxwebdevs I believe this would reach its full potential if supported and implemented also for headers in @mediawiki transcluded pages/templates, and in situations with no front-end JavaScript, for example when computing the heading level inside @11ty includes.

  8. Wissensmanagement im Nexus: MediaWiki, Discourse & Confluence out of the Box

    In modernen Organisationen ist Wissen die entscheidende Ressource. Ob als kollaboratives Nachschlagewerk, als strukturierte Projektdokumentation oder als lebendige Community-Diskussion: ohne ein gut eingebundenes Wiki- oder Wissenssystem verlieren Teams wertvolle Zeit.Das Infinito.Nexus stellt deshalb drei etablierte Systeme out of the box bereit: MediaWiki, Discourse und Confluence. Alle drei sind nahtlos über LDAP und OpenID Connect (OIDC) in den eigenen Mikrokosmos eingebunden – entweder über das vom Nexus bereitgestellte OpenLDAP oder über eine direkte Active-Directory-Integration, falls bereits eine Microsoft-Infrastruktur vorhanden ist. Damit wird Infinito.Nexus zu einer echten Alternative zu Microsoft SharePoint: leistungsfähig, flexibel, anpassbar und voll OnPremise kontrollierbar. […]

  9. It's really kinda QUITE ANNOYING that...

    • #MediaWiki chose to replace <source> with <syntaxhighlight>...
    • ...and provided no way to invoke it via a more memorable/typeable template.
      • (...because angle-bracket tags parse the template parameter-markup before the markup is replaced with the template arguments, so if I do a template that's <syntaxhighlight lang=php inline>{{{1}}}</syntaxhighlight>, for example, invoking the template always gets you {{{1}}} on the page. ...and there's no alternative {{#syntaxhighlight:...}} syntax, as far as I can tell.)

    Seems like there really ought to be a way to invoke any XML-style tag in a way that means "parse this after template argument replacement, please".

  10. Notice something new on the Rainverse Wiki home page?

    That's right,
    we have a poll!

    Inspired by polls on Super Mario Wiki, we will periodically ask you, the readers, assorted questions about the Rainverse! When the poll concludes, it will be replaced by another poll, and the results will be moved to the new
    Poll Archive page.

    This new feature is thanks to
    @[email protected] and @[email protected] . Awhile back, @[email protected] started whining on Miraheze Discord and Rainverse Matrix that there were inadequate polling options available on Miraheze. In response to Beth's whining, Claire made a whole new MediaWiki extension, and Average Helper and Claire did the hard work to get it installed on Miraheze.

    I'm also ready to preemptively announce plans for the Rain Character Tournament 3 and the My Impossible Soulmate Character Tournament 1. Each character tournament will ask you to vote for your favorite character in a series of matches, with winning characters advancing to the next round until only one remains.

    Neither tournament will happen for awhile: The next Rain Character Tournament will likely begin several months
    after the release of Rain Volume 7, while the first MIS Character Tournament will not begin until after MIS Volume 1 is released. But we can announce that when these character tournaments do happen, you'll be able to vote straight from the wiki home page.

  12. Nota, Typst и Evidence. Языки программирования для генерации документов

    Все настолько привыкли к Markdown, что считают его неким стандартом для оформления документов в вебе. Но это не конечная истина, высеченная на камне, а просто популярный язык разметки, как HTML и TeX. В то же время появляется всё больше новых языков, которые позиционируют себя как замену, альтернативу или дополнение к Markdown и TeX. В некоторых случаях они включают функции программирования, то есть позволяют добавить в документ исполняемый код. Веб-редакторы нового поколения можно использовать даже вместо Google Docs.
