Migration FAQ

From TD Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Why did this wiki move?[edit]

Xenwolf, Mike Battaglia and Tyler Henthorn aimed to suppress constructive edits and monopolize the wiki since 2018, introducing misinformation in the process, so a competitor has been made. Since Fandom is not structurally designed for long-term storage of thousands of pages, and Miraheze is anti-competitive, the Type Design version of the xenharmonic wiki now finds its correct location on Replit.

How can I download a copy of the site?[edit]

To download MediaWiki pages, use Special:Export. To obtain a copy of the TD Xenharmonic Wiki database in PostgreSQL, contact piotrunio-2004@wp.pl for information.

I can't log in anymore![edit]

Unfortunately there is no way to migrate the users over from the other xenharmonic wikis. If you haven't done so already, please create a new account here by contacting piotrunio-2004@wp.pl to request it.

How can I report bugs?[edit]

Please add bugs to the Bugs discussion page. Use the Wikifuture page for discussion regarding improvements.

This wiki page doesn't look right...[edit]

The migration from the old wiki has not been perfect.

If you see something that is out of place, feel free to let us know about it, report in the Bugs discussion, or help us clean it up!

Why is this page missing?[edit]

If you notice any missing pages, please notify one of us, and we will work to restore it.

Don't worry, everything has been backed up! There may simply be a missing redirect, or something else.

Why is this file missing?[edit]

The instability of Replit deployment file storage is a known issue. To maintain Replit server efficiency and avoid the issues that plagued previous iterations of the wiki, deployments only take snapshots of the current file system instead of synchronizing file writes. The correct way for deployments to write to files is by Object Storage, however that is incompatible with MediaWiki. The content on TD Xenharmonic Wiki should mostly focus on text content.

Where are the discussion pages?[edit]

There should be a tab at the top of each page labeled "Discussion". The discussion from the old wiki has been migrated here.

These "Talk pages" are a convention that Wikipedia (the same folks behind MediaWiki) uses, and they behave like wiki pages. Have a look at the Wikipedia page for more information regarding usage.

Where can I get help with formatting and syntax?[edit]

Start here: https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

There is also an IRC channel, #mediawiki on freenode.net.

How do I remove the Table of Contents from a page?[edit]

Remove the text __FORCETOC__ from the page markdown, if it exists.

Add the text __NOTOC__ anywhere in the page markdown.

How do I insert math into a page?[edit]

Put it between <math></math> tags.

For example: <math>f(a) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint\frac{f(z)}{z-a}dz</math>

It's powered by MathJax, so any syntax supported by that engine should work.

How do I embed an audio file?[edit]

Upload the file at Special:Upload

Add [[File:min7.mp3]] to the page, replacing min7.mp3 with the name of your file.

Use [[Media:min7.mp3]] if you only want to provide a link to the file.

How do I insert a list into a page?[edit]

Use one of the list models.
