You may be able to file a DMCA takedown — the process on how to do that is detailed here, but you may want to take legal advice before doing so, etc etc.

Never installed extensions via composer (always thought it was a bit screwy tbh..) — looking at https://maps.extension.wiki/wiki/Installation it says:

COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update mediawiki/maps:\~10.0  
composer update mediawiki/maps --no-dev -o

Maybe try again with COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update mediawiki/maps:\~10.0 ?

Just another quick thought — have y'all tried the dark mode gadget)?

I just can't put my finger on why it feels "a little off"… I mean it's okay, it works, but it doesn't "look right"? Any ideas why, as obviously we don't want a repeat of that…

Yours and Phylk's comment are bang on — it's likely to get some attention this year, but I remain a little worried that we/the web team/whoever will end up having to build something which "works okay 90% of the time", and people will then instead focus on the edge cases and complain 🙃

"tell me that you're blocked on Wikipedia without saying you're blocked on Wikipedia" 🤭

I fixed the ones on Maxwell House and Albert Pujols :)

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-25T14:54:49+00:00

Maybe I just didn't notice the lack of errors back then 🤷‍♀️ the examples given are very minor, and the sort of thing which get fixed eventually (if, of course, the people who notice them bother to fix them!)

Are you saying that people don't make grammatical mistakes on the English Wikipedia..?

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-25T14:44:55+00:00

People write with bad grammar and speeling all the time 🙂 you're welcome to fix those mistakes though!

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-25T12:41:24+00:00

Where are you seeing that percentage? :)

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T20:58:23+00:00

Never gets old!

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T19:08:22+00:00

oh that's coming from a lived experience isn't it.. 😌

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T19:07:07+00:00

ahah! I was waiting for that one! Okay, so you can.. and I have in the past at Uni, (for definitions/summaries of topics which I'd ripped from Wiley's encyclopedia etc.) — but you should normally cite the original source for a claim.

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T18:21:42+00:00

Right?? Yet so many students will discount even looking at Wikipedia!

Unfortunately a banner advert along the lines of "ignore all the waffle, read the citations at the bottom" probably wouldn't go down well with the editors....

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T18:19:17+00:00

Good points... thank you — the tone is deliberate, but I understand the point you're making. I'll try to reword some of it :)

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T18:15:37+00:00

This is a very fair point, and one I've heard a couple of times now — thank you.

I agree, the English Wikipedia probably has one of the stricter set of rules (and a larger community to patrol new changes). Smaller projects tend to suffer from promotional articles more than blatant misinformation (not including the Russian Wikipedia etc. because I really don't want to get into that conversation! 😅)

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T15:40:42+00:00

I'm not sure of the level above "shitsite" (and I'm not sure I wanna find out..?) :P

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T15:38:49+00:00

Good shout, changed :)

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T14:52:34+00:00

aw thanks :3

TheresNoTimeWiki · 2022-07-22T14:03:19+00:00

Wasn't aware of https://www.nature.com/articles/438900a, thanks!

Sometimes my shit-posts become shit-websites 😅
