Welcome!

Welcome to the wiki :) -NottNott (talk) 21:08, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I'm happy that a vision improvement wiki exists now. I'll contribute what I can. Heddy (talk) 21:12, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Go for it! -NottNott (talk) 21:13, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

On imports from Wikipedia

By the way, kind of messed up and imported loads of pages from Wikipedia. Will likely need an extension to clear up the mess I've made. Either that, or with some extension magic we get all the templates working beautifully. -NottNott (talk) 22:43, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

The easiest way to delete many pages at once would be DeleteBatch. On the import log, I see about 100 pages imported. I'd be happy to mop that up once you're able to add extensions. Heddy (talk) 23:07, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
That's definitely the way forward. -NottNott (talk) 23:08, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Thanks for all the work you've done for such a young wiki :) -NottNott (talk) 12:06, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

On spamming the wiki with loads of templates

Heya, I'm currently trying to get WP:ProveIt to work identically there as it would do here, for the most user friendly citing experience possible. This means I'm mass importing thousands of pages, and probably most of them are useless. It's okay though, nobody has to see them and tidying up won't be necessary.

@NottNott: Looks like ProveIt just uses a few citation templates. Why not just import those? Heddy (talk) 17:46, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
(Huh, looks like the notification system is bust. It was working earlier, I literally tested it!)
It's not quite that simple although I wish it was. We also have to import the TemplateData from the documentation pages with every template because ProveIt relies on the TemplateData to generate the fields for citing. Template:Cite web has no TemplateData on it, but Template:Cite web/doc has detailed TemplateData on it. I'm not sure if ProveIt is looking to the template instead of the documentation for the TemplateData, and something funky needs to be done with transclusion, or whether ProveIt is just taking its time to update its information. -NottNott (talk) 17:57, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

I wouldn't bother. This entire wiki takes up less than 500mb at the moment, and we're not really capped on pages we can have. You can be a deletionist as long as you promise it won't break anything Face-wink.svg -NottNott (talk) 18:24, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
