Holy crap a wild mod appeared! --Universalperson 20:58, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Right, and I have to (finally) update the server and the Wiki software someday. —0x99 14:16, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

pt version of Puella-magi wiki

Hi maru

On last email and talk in irc, you've asked for me to wait the server be updated

Does it was done? Does you still have plans to open the wiki to another languages? When can we talk about this again?

Graciouslly

Not much movement yet. Super busy with work. Sorry :( -- 0x99 14:37, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Page patrolling

Hi I have previously created a page on the wiki at Pachinko and Pachislot but seems like it is not indexed by search engine as the page have not been patrolled by mods. Could you help review and mark the page? C933103 15:10, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the wiki doesn't have patrolling enabled. How did you check that the page wasn't indexed? -- 0x99 18:50, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

It's me again

Any news? or you're saving efforts to update mediawiki at the moment? Hojo Minamino Hibiki I Annonnying, not? 02:33, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Front Page Sidebar

Is there anyway to add a link to the Magia Record anime in the sidebar under "Anime"? Especially since it will be launching in a few days and I don't know how to change that myself. Maybe also add the Magia Record Manga link as well?Sondenise (talk) 01:58, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Sorry that this took so long, I've added Magia Record to the sidebar. Will also redo the frontpage soon-ish. --- 0x99 (talk) 05:44, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

String parser functions

Based on Special:Version it looks like these are supported, but they don't work on a page so they are probably disabled (which is apparently the default). Is there any chance of enabling them? ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 16:18, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't notice this message. I know it's a year overdue, but I've now enabled string parsers in the Wiki. Please let me know if you need anything else. --0x99 (talk) 15:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Bulk Upload

Was the MsUpload extension intentionally disabled or was that an accident? ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 01:11, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

I couldn't get it to work for some reason. I'll take a look at it later. -- 0x99 (talk) 06:40, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Permitted File Types

Any chance you could add .ogg (and maybe .mid) to the list of allowed file types? I was just thinking that it would be better to upload the musical rendering linked from here directly to the wiki instead of hosting it on MediaFire. I think MediaWiki even has a built-in media player so it would be easy for anyone to listen to it if I converted it to .ogg. (Unless that's just an extension used on Wikipedia and the other big wikis?) ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 03:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

I've enabled file uploads for ogg/mid/webm. Not sure if it'll work, but let me know if it doesn't. -- 0x99 (talk) 14:46, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Tabs

We were discussing building a tabbed view to show variants of a single character all on one page. I constructed style rules for it in MediaWiki:Common.css, and it works almost perfectly, but there are a few little glitches that seem unsolvable without JavaScript… so I was wondering if you could perhaps add the first block of JS from User talk:SuzuneMU#Tabs to MediaWiki:Common.js?

I already tested that code by pasting it into my browser's Developer Console; if you're uncertain of it, you can do the same before pushing it live. Or if you know of some other way to make the tabs function better, feel free to write your own code or edit MediaWiki:Common.css instead.

The second block of code on that page is a way to make tabs able to scroll left and right, useful if there are too many to fit on a page. I'm not sure if we'd actually need that, though. It's also tested in the same way as the other code, and works if {{Tab Nav}} is added to the top of the tab container. I didn't actually test the two blocks combined though. ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 19:33, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Done. Sorry, if I don't respond in a responsible time (2-3 days), please feel free to ping via email. -- 0x99 (talk) 08:31, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

SVG upload is broken

See File:^Rune.svg for the error message. ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 23:50, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Sorry about this, SVG should now work again (it should re-process on page visit). -- 0x99 (talk) 08:26, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

A quick question

Hello 0x99, I have a quick question, if thats okay. I'm going through the "Unused files" page and finding ones fit for deletion. The thing is, I feel like Im annoying the mods by making so many requests. Is there any way I could get the files deleted without causing any trouble for anyone? If not, I'll just keep putting them in the Deletion category. Amaterasu (talk) 18:17, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

I think you already have the permission to delete pages (look at "More" in the top bar). You can directly delete it, but I actually like the Deletion Request category, since it serves as a double check in case somebody objects. We could probably do this automatically in the future with User:AnthonyBot, though. By the way, thank you for taking the effort to clean up old images. It helps to shrink down the space and bandwidth usage by quite a lot (as these are often hotlinked as a forum signature, etc.). -- 0x99 (talk) 18:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Oh my! I do! Thanks. Sorry for bothering you! Have a good day. Amaterasu (talk) 19:28, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

If I can chime in real quick, I don't mind at all doing the deletions in batches. And thank you for your work!!Sondenise (talk) 01:47, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

I'd also like to add, it's ok since we've been meaning to get rid of a lot of the fan art and unused stuff on here. Some stuff I wasn't sure on deleting since I couldn't tell if it was official or fan art, or in other cases whether we should keep stuff like Poorfag's page+art around and the like around since it's technically fan-related but also part of the wiki's history and it's not really all that mixed in with official stuff. -The Witch's House (talk) 09:49, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
