A fix for some display anomalies for the Monaco skin

The Monaco skin doesn't play nice with the WikiEditor, which results in some display anomalies, such as a black line atop the main toolbar and it causes the search and replace button to bleed off the screen to the right.

Thankfully, I came up with a fix I implemented on my own wiki to solve the problem:

/* My fixes for display errors with the WikiEditor extension */
/* By Arcane (known as Arcane 21 on Wikimedia websites) */
/* Add these lines at the end of monobook_modified.css file in the styles/css folder of the Monaco skin  */

.toolbar {
    border-top-style: none!important;
    border-top-width: 1px;
    padding: 0px 0px !important;
}

/* Expandable Sections */
.wikiEditor-ui-toolbar .sections {
	width: 98%!important;
}

Also, the buttons of the Monaco skin don't work properly with the Search and Replace menu, which will cause some display errors with the text not syncing properly with the buttons.

If you want to fix this the quick and dirty way, find the buttons.css file in the styles/css folder of the Monaco and erase everything in the file (don't delete the file itself). This will revert the buttons to use the monobook/vector look and will correct display anomalies in the search and replace menu.

Alternatively, you could hunt down the css file setting governing the button and text size and retain the Monaco button look, but the above is quick and dirty fix that I've tested on my own localhost wiki and it works fine for me.

I'd add this to the repository for Orain, but I suck at using Github, so please forward this information to your tech staff if need be.

Let me know if you guys need any further help. Arcane (talk) 00:01, 19 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane

The Monaco theme is supposed to have the button look to keep things consistent. --24.178.138.107 00:33, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to add (in response to the above comment) that while the Monaco skin will lack most of the large rounded buttons if you use my quick and dirty fix, all other elements of the skin should function normally and look fine (just with the classic Vector/Monobook dull squared appearance). If you still want to keep the Monaco buttons as they are, the text height of the button text needs to have a lowered pixel value (the default is too high) to work properly with the Search And Replace box added by the WikiEditor extension. I don't remember what exact value needs to be changed, but that will need to be fixed if you want to keep the Monaco button schema as it originally was.

Wanted to add something: I noticed your Monaco skin sidebar doesn't have all the options available on the other skin sidebars. If you want to fix this, you just need to add the appropriate information to MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar. I don't have administrator rights, or I would be willing to do the legwork myself. If not, I just thought this information would be of use to you. Arcane (talk) 01:18, 20 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane

Cantonese Wikivoyage

1. I request to change the language to Cantonese
2. Why the title of the wiki is "Unconfigured"?
Gabrielchihonglee (talk) 07:09, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

I'll get both taken care of when a sysadmin comes online to make the changes :) The wiki name is automatically "Unconfigured" due to the script. I'll check to see if we can get that fixed as well :) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 07:13, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Done! Addshore (talk) 13:58, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

hi

Thanks for making my wiki so quickly :D--Tyreek (talk) 23:09, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

No problem! I just noticed you've logged in locally so you're account has been created there. I'll get your flags after this saves :) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 23:12, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

So many nice staff people, hope this does not end up like Wikia :3 or wikkii--Tyreek (talk) 23:22, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Never :) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 23:24, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Just something I thought would be useful, check on my wiki from time to time if you agree

I plan to find as many gadgets and user scripts that would be helpful to MediaWiki users and add pages on them as well as enable them so they can be used and tested in a live environment (i.e. - my testing wiki).

As far as Orain is concerned, that means that anything you see on the MediaWiki Gadgets page on my wiki has been proven, tested, and will come with technical information about any bugs, glitches, or settings needed for optimal use, and has been verified as functional on both my offsite localhost testing wiki and here on Orain.

I also plan to add a section for user scripts (which includes javascript snippets, CSS style sheets, etc.) with a similar purpose.

Unlike the Test Wiki, I plan to also include live testing areas for extensions not included on the Test Wiki, and since I like testing bleeding edge code and invite anyone to share their contributions, I would be delighted to offer my wiki as a testbed for bleeding edge Orain specific extensions, custom skins, and so on if the need arises.

Also, while I imported Twinkle from Wikipedia to Orain Meta, I don't believe it is functional, and though I have yet to do any extensive testing on it, I'll give you a heads up if I get it to work. Arcane (talk) 02:42, 25 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane

Did some checking, and Twinkle would need to be custom ported for use on another wiki as further detailed here. I had trouble cloning how it was done on Wikipedia verbatim, and it might be better to make our own version of the gadget or something similar. I have an idea or two about how to do this, will get back to you once I have something workable. Arcane (talk) 11:32, 25 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane

You have been granted admin/'crat on BotWiki

Hi Dusti, as per my original request, I have now granted you Administrator and Bureaucrat rights on BotWiki. I hope that the BotWiki will eventually become "the place to be" for anything to do with running bots on Orain wikis, whether on a local wiki or globally. AugurNZ ✐⌕ 00:59, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

How would I transclude the Orain wiki logo on my wiki

I wanted to include a small picture of the Orain Meta wiki logo on the tab I have on my front page for "Sister Wikis" (wikis that are cooperating in conjunction with my own in some way), but I'm not able to transclude the Orain.png file correctly.

What should I do to fix this? Arcane (talk) 01:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane

We're actually tweaking the Special:Interwiki extension now :) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 21:02, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Wiki made private

Hello Dusti, thanks for creating the SACwiki on my request. Could you please clarify something for me – what does exactly 'private' mean for a wiki here, 'personal' and 'public' being the other two options? When I requested for the SACwiki to be created, I hoped that only those I authorize would be able not only to edit it, but also to view it. However, this newly created wiki can apparently be both edited and viewed by strangers. Is there a way on orain.org to create a wiki with limited editing and viewing access? Regards, --SAC SEC (talk) 17:15, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello! We're actually working on that now :) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 20:15, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Alrighty - I believe we've gotten it fixed and taken care of. You now have to be logged in and have the "member" right to view pages. Bureaucrats and Administrators are able to grant and revoke that right. Creating an account is not restricted, as we use single sign on, however, the read restriction is what's made your wiki private. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 21:00, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Thanks. I think we are experiencing a problem creating new users at the moment, so I cannot have a test run to see if the restrictions work the way they're supposed to. Regards, --SAC SEC (talk) 22:47, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

I've tested the restrictions myself, and they appear to be solid. What issue are you have with creating accounts? I just created one to ensure that account creation is still working. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 23:51, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Random assigning of passwords returns an error message, blaming a PHP glitch, for one thing. Also, I created three test users: SAC01, 01SAC, and SACmem01, and even though they show up as created, none of them can be logged in, with an error message: "Login error. There is no user by the name "SACmem01". Usernames are case sensitive. Check your spelling." Regards, --SAC SEC (talk) 00:58, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

UPDATE: Trying to log in with any of these three user names on meta.orain.org returns an error "Incorrect password" and, when trying to reset the password, reports: "The username SACmem01 is not registered on this wiki, but it does exist in the unified login system." That's what it's up to now. Regards, --SAC SEC (talk) 01:10, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

I believe Kudu has taken a look into this and the issue appears to be fixed. I had it happen to me when trying to create an account while logged in. I just tried and had to attempt to do it twice as my session expired and I needed to log back in, however, I was able to create an account and have a random password sent by email on both here and SACwiki. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 19:24, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

Thank you, it seems to be working fine now. Could you please delete all those test users, including those created by me (SAC01, 01SAC, and SACmem01)? Regards, --SAC SEC (talk) 23:37, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

Because of Mediawiki(Software runs this wiki) doesn't provide account delete, anyone cannot delete account. 레비Revi^Discuss_{WMF wikis} 02:20, 2 September 2013 (EDT)

All right. Can we change their names then? --SAC SEC (talk) 02:34, 2 September 2013 (EDT)

That's easy enough, what would you like them changed to? Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 03:38, 2 September 2013 (EDT)

Thanks. Can I do it myself? Regards, --SAC SEC (talk) 04:09, 2 September 2013 (EDT)

Because we have single sign on globally, Special:RenameUser is restricted to stewards as it affects global accounts. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 04:17, 2 September 2013 (EDT)

I see. Can you then please rename 01SAC to SAC02 and SACmem01 to SAC03? Thanks. --SAC SEC (talk) 04:22, 2 September 2013 (EDT)

Done. John (talk) 04:27, 2 September 2013 (EDT)
