hey, so im trying to create a wiki based on a nation rp, which requires a lot of templates and their respective modules (examples: Infobox, Infobox country, Country data, etc).

a lot of these, like Infobox, are actually in the developer stuff and i can import them no problem. the problem comes when it doesnt have it. i dont want to import from wikipedia as i do not wish to suffer such an agonizing fate. how do i get the other things i need that arent on dev?

oh how'd you get the person's pronouns

#

can't find em on the profile, i'm sure they're in there somewhere and i'm just dumb

??

#

I just presumed 😂😂

mystic coral
#

ah

#

I’d generally use they/them if I don’t know someone’s pronouns, it’s just the nice thing to do

ember pulsar
#

i meant like, actually importing the templates and modules

#

some arent on devwiki

#

i think that blankeclair guy mentioned there’s another way

#

but it’s painful and difficult

mystic coral
#

that way is importing from Wikipedia (which is painful and difficult)

ember pulsar
#

here’s the catch

#

she never told me

mystic coral
#

pretty sure she did

#

I recall it happening, perhaps you just didn’t see it

ember pulsar
#

#

#

importing from wikipedia and done

so i cant do anything

mystic coral
#

you can

#

you just gotta learn Lua and whatnot

#

or just

#

install PI

ember pulsar
#

it's not exactly the infoboxes that suck

#

it's the country data stuff
