Oh god yes. I've been looking forward to this so much to be able to use it as an interface for AutoModerator.

Are the API functions all available on this test version, or not yet? If yes, any documentation available, or will I just need to inspect HTTP headers and such for now?

[–]slyf 13 points14 points  (4 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The api functionality is all there, although the docs are not. In general:

add .json to the end to get the status of something

post to various api endpoints

the entire site uses the api though, so it should be all there

I have some of the API features implemented in a branch of PRAW. I just realized I don't have it pushed... here it is.

In ~4 weeks I can focus on getting all the functionality implemented. Until then, contributions are welcome.

This would be amazing if you can use the wiki to config AM. I feel sort of bad about annoying you with stuff and random questions :)

I also don't think I fully get it. we're making a reddit wikipedia or something? do I have to write code? because I don't know how to do all that stuff. is it separate from reddit or will it take over everything?

Change karma requirements

karma requirements

karma

Is this the first time on reddit where karma actually does something? STOP THE PRESSES!

[–]spladug[S] 16 points17 points  (15 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The old wiki required 100 total link karma to access it. Many of the ratelimits on the site are ameliorated by per-subreddit karma. So, no, not even remotely the first time.

[–]zzyzzyxx 2 points3 points  (3 children)

How does one find out what a user's subreddit karma is? I'd like to set a reasonable minimum but that's rather difficult without actual numbers.

[–]Cassel08 0 points1 point  (2 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Is that functionality served by Reddit Gold right now? If so, that function would seem to be necessary for the general reddit population. Am I wrong in saying that?

[–]sevenalive 0 points1 point  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is a gold feature. Not something redditors really need to see. Its nice to show, but overall its not something I would miss.

Its pretty easy to see where you get your karma from anyway without it.

[–]zzyzzyxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I know where my karma comes from. What I care about is the actual amount of karma for the users in the subreddit I moderate so that I can set a reasonable threshold for editing the wiki.

[–]MaoThatHurt 1 point2 points  (4 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What's a ratelimit?

[–]redtaboo 5 points6 points  (3 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When the site prevents you from performing an action and makes you wait a set amount of time. The message you usually see on reddit when you hit is:

You're doing that too much; please try again in X minutes/seconds

The most common one is id you are new to a subreddit and try to comment in rapid succession, you'll hit the limit until you build up a small amount of karma in that subreddit.

[–]V2Blast 1 point2 points  (2 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I encounter the ratelimit more commonly when submitting the same article to multiple subreddits.

[–]redtaboo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ahh.. that may be a common one as well. You'd likely not have much karma in one of those subreddits which would make it kick in.

I see it a lot with users in /r/help complaining about comments. It's probable the posts we get are because the users are confused, whereas users like you aren't confused maybe just peeved.

[–]V2Blast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, I just wait while I look at other stuff. Plus it only happens in a few huge subreddits where my posts don't get noticed.

[–]appropriate-username 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ameliorated: to make better or more tolerable; intransitive verb: to grow better

TIL.

[–]sje46 0 points1 point  (2 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Many of the ratelimits on the site are ameliorated by per-subreddit karma.

Yeah, can I ask why? As a moderator, this has resulted in spam-filters with false-positive/true-positive rations of 100:1. If not lower. Why can't we have a logical system where we recognize that if a reddit account isn't spamming on other subreddits, it's probably not going to spam on others? Seriously, what is the thought process behind this?

[–]spladug[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm really not going to get into the details of the spam filter, but you may want to notice that "ratelimit" and "spam filter" are two entirely different things. Specifically, the prior prevents one from even submitting in the first place.

[–]sje46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My apologies. However, the spam filter thing really does annoy me.

[–]RedditCommentAccount 6 points7 points  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Will there be an avenue for deleting a page? I could see it becoming a problem if a subreddit allows anyone to create a page. You could edit the contents of the page, but the title of the page could easily contain profanity/personal information/something not appropriate for the subreddit.

The best option I can see right now is setting the page to mod view only. I see how allowing the deletion of a page could cause issues with the reverting, though.

[–]slyf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There will be a method for admins to delete pages, revisions can be hidden by mods and pages locked.

[–]NegatedVoid 7 points8 points  (2 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Is this a good spot for feedback?

The community settings are confusing. It's confusing how the three radio buttons (disabled / mod editing / anyone) relate to the subredit karma / account age fields.

For example, can i set it to "disabled" and then "age > 1 year" and expect it to be disabled unless you're old enough? Or shoudl it be "anyone" and "age > 1 year".

Secondly, "subreddit karma" woah never knew this existed. Great metric, though. Is it comment or link or both? Can we view it somewhere?

Thirdly, can we have some form of "approved editors" list to just add people to that affects all pages?

[–]Ytoabn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

[–]slyf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, the langage for the community settings field needs to be improved with some "whats this" text.

In short, disabled is always disabled, mod only editing is mod only unless added to a page (or an approved contributor) exception, and everyone is everyone who meets the requirements.

approved editors exists as linked by the other commenter

Getting the "You broke reddit" error creating a page with spaces in its name, like:

http://lab.reddit.com/r/letsplay/wiki/spaces spaces spaces

The funny thing is the page is created and I can edit it without a problem.

[–]slyf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Page names with spaces in them will be blocked in the future, wikipedia does not even offer this feature, it just rewites them to underscores.

[–]redtaboo 4 points5 points  (36 children)

Okay, real question not about socks:

Some subreddits may already have some faq pages imported from the old Trac wiki

Are you working on importing all of them at the moment, so I should wait.. or did you do a bunch for testing and are done importing and I should just play with what I got?

[–]slyf 3 points4 points  (14 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They should be all imported, if yours didnt import link me to it on trac please :)

[–]kinggimped 4 points5 points  (4 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The /r/shanghai FAQ doesn't seem to have imported at all. At least not at this url.

2 quick questions while I have your attention:

  1. Will we be able to assign certain CSS to the Wiki pages, or will it just follow the same CSS stylesheet as the rest of the subreddit? Will there be some wiki-only CSS classes added so we can make it look nice?

  2. Will we still have inline bookmarks? (i.e. creating a link that links to another part on the same page, what is currently delineated on the trac system as #alinklikethis)

[–]slyf 1 point2 points  (3 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

  1. the page name will be in the class somehow, so yes you will be able to hook css for the page based on that.
  2. It has been much requested

[–]kinggimped 1 point2 points  (2 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thanks for the reply. Good to hear about the CSS, one of my main issues with the current trac system is an almost complete lack of any kind of customisation besides basic formatting.

Any chance the /r/shanghai FAQ can be imported from the trac? Nothing came through onto the new wiki system. I copy/pasted a bit just to try it out and see how it looked, but it got tiresome converting trac to markdown.

[–]slyf 0 points1 point  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There were a few which got missed somehow, I will be reviewing my import code and find out what went wrong in those cases. So yes, it will get importered over before the final release.

[–]kinggimped 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thanks, that's great.

Oh, and one last question while I've got you by the short and curlies:

Will we be able to refer to spritesheets for images on the wiki, rather than just individual images in the CSS? Having the 50 image limit on the subreddit CSS will severely limit the ability to make use of images on the wiki, which are going to be really useful for a subreddit like ours that is focused on a city rather than a topic. It would be incredibly useful to be able to save all the images I need on a single spritesheet and then recall each image by giving coordinates within the spritesheet, as we currently do with our user flair.

[–]redtaboo 2 points3 points  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You know what, it did import... I was just confused by having to click list of pages after going to the link spladug provided. I'll drink moar coffee and continue playing. :)

ETA: Wow, the import looks great too... only a few minor spacing issues. Great job!

[–]V2Blast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thanks for mentioning that, I was confused about the "list of pages" thing as well.

[–]greatyellowshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The /r/ModsOfTheRealms FAQ hasn't imported: http://www.reddit.com/help/faqs/modsoftherealms. Hope you can get it sorted, I think it'll be amazing once it all comes together.

[–]rasherdk 0 points1 point  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No FAQ here, maybe because of the case difference? http://lab.reddit.com/r/nfl/wiki/pages - http://code.reddit.com/wiki/help/faqs/NFL

Also, you mentioned pages will have CSS classes added to them futher down, but it seems the stylesheet isn't applied to wiki pages at all? Is this a mistake, not implemented yet or something else?

[–]slyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is indeed a mistake, also the problem with the import is likely that I forgot to .lower() (make lowercase) the subreddit ID when being imported into the wiki model.

So as I see it now, don't bother with making a public wiki because everything will get deleted?

[–]Deimorz 5 points6 points  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you want to get a head start you can always use this to work on your intended page(s) and just save a copy of the markdown on your computer, and then when it actually goes live, you just have to paste it in again and you're done.

I'm getting a 'page not found' error whenever I try to edit a page. I create a page, go to edit, type in my stuff, hit save, the error appears.

When I go back to that page I don't need to remake it either, so it does exist.

[–]slyf 1 point2 points  (3 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Could you give me the url which gives you page not found, as well as the output if you put .json at the end of that url?

[–]spongemandan 1 point2 points  (2 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

url: http://lab.reddit.com/r/Textworldexplorers/wiki/edit/main

I should note that the previous page (same url but before I hit 'save page') was fine and did not give a 'page not found' error.

output from .json:

Then I need to report a bug.

Here's my wiki page: http://lab.reddit.com/r/ZombiU/wiki/index

I have an image uploaded as YOURID (just to keep things simple)

I tried adding these lines to the end:

![Test 1](url(%%YOURID%%))

![Test 2](YOURID)

When I saved, everything on my wiki page except the first sentences disappeared (normal text showing, bulleted list & tables missing). All the code was still there when I went to edit it again.

[–]spladug[S] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Try ![Test 1](%%YOURID%%).

No go. Here's what it looks like when I add:

THINGS YOU DO IN LABS WILL ALSO CAUSE THINGS TO HAPPEN IN THE REAL SITE

but then

WE WILL DELETE WIKI PAGES AFTER THIS LAB IS OVER, DON'T EXPECT ANY OF YOUR EDITS TO STAY

Can you clarify this?

[–]slyf 3 points4 points  (6 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Things you do on lab.reddit.com effect the rest of the site, new wiki features excluded (with the exception of editing the stylesheet wiki page)

[–]phyzome 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Ah, I was confusing the FAQ pages (which are fairly wiki-like) with the new wiki features.

[–]slyf 1 point2 points  (4 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The old FAQ pages will eventually be deleted as they are migrated (within some reasonable timeline). If you edit one on the new wiki it wont do anything to the old faq though.

[–]anonymous123421 1 point2 points  (3 children)

To be clear (I'm kind of confused):

I just, just created a wiki for /r/explainlikeimfive using the new system. Will all of that stay, or will I have to start from scratch?

Right, I need to make it specify the subreddit by default..But you need to pick a subreddit to submit the discussion to (as well as a blog explaining what discussions are). Discussions are just any link to the wiki page on any subreddit on reddit. They can not have self text, that wont end up being a discussion.

HTML is stripped out

Not a bug, a safety net. You are meant to mostly use markdown where possible.

Source spacing is wonky with links and bulleted lists (extra newlines and spaces)

I am aware of this, the importers puts in whitespace often because snudown likes it when there is whitespace and when there is not often combines stuff. The import is meant to be an assistant, not a polished product.

[–]phyzome 0 points1 point  (2 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not a bug, a safety net. You are meant to mostly use markdown where possible.

As long as the FAQ pages coexist (read-only) with the wiki pages once the wiki launches, that's fine -- otherwise, the importer is deleting content. (Alternatively, bring the HTML over even though it will be escaped.)

The importer does not delete content, in the event of html being unacceptable it does not just strip out the tag, it puts the content of the tag in. Were you getting a span tag in the final result? O.o

edit: Oh, I see, you had an empty span tag with class.

Yep. It's not going to be a problem for me, but it could be for some other subreddit that has heavy customization.

As a medium between "all users can edit", and "only mods can edit", what about using the approved submitters list, which is slightly useless at the moment for non-private subreddits?

Edit: First of all, I love this! Amazing, and I want it now. :) :) Nice job!

Normally wikis make it really really easy to link between pages. Is there any similar convention to the old school wiki syntax:

Hey check out the picture of my pants over on [[pants]]!

Or do we really have to copy/paste every link explicitly into Markdown syntax even in our own wiki?

Hey check out the picture of my pants over on [pants](/r/MinecraftInventions/wiki/pants)!

For now, yes, this is mainly because snudown does not know about wikis and wiki urls in speciifc.

I second the use of [[link]] syntax, as this follows from Gollum, github's wiki technology.

Hi. I am one of the mods of /r/pants and now anyone who can submit to the subreddit may edit the wiki! Only commenting because you said pants in your post. lol

I'm sure I can find it, though others may also be curious:

Can you point to the reddit source that is running on lab.reddit.com?

Needs a friendly / welcoming link saying: "here is how formatting works" down at the bottom (like the comment boxes do).

I'm getting 500s when I try to do any header syntax I can think of. Such as:

###### Guidelines for Submitting Let's Play Updates

Clicking save page returns:

{"error": 500}

That works! Quick work too. :)

I have a problem, specifically with the subreddit images:

  • Adding an image makes everything except the image disappear (except the ToC). It's not even in the HTML source.
  • If the image is not the first line, then it doesn't show as well.

Here's an example:

This works fine (note the removed ! for the subreddit ids):

This blah blah news.

# 123

[numbers](1234)

# abc-

[Dash after alphanumerical](b4dash-)

# -abc

[Dash before alpha](-withdash)

# abc

[alpha](regular)

This doesn't work at all (except for the ToC):

This blah blah news.

# 123

![numbers](1234)

# abc-

![Dash after alphanumerical](b4dash-)

# -abc

![Dash before alpha](-withdash)

# abc

![alpha](regular)

This shows the image, but everything below it is cut off.

![numbers](1234)

Something else.

All of the images work when alone and on the first line, but do not otherwise.

Glad to help (or not :). Also I assume you know this but reverting to a previous revision doesn't work either.

How do I see subreddit karma for users who aren't approved submitters or mods?

Edit: I now realize that subreddit karma is visible for users with subreddit gold, so I expect that information may not be available to mods (since they could then make it available to the readers, decreasing the value of gold...)

Any chance of getting a graph of the distribution of subreddit karma for the stats page? That would be enough for mods to make a good decision, I think.

This could come in really handy at /r/Frugal. We've been doing the We R/Frugal series, but we always get so many people asking for us to put together a frugal wiki. Now, if I was only more tech savvy. Thanks though!

Lovin' it - thank you! Here's the stub for /r/seattle.

Firebug showing lots of image 404's...

[–]smallchanger 1 point2 points  (3 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I used this syntax to make a bolded heading:
### **Use this syntax below**

What I got then at the top of the page was this:
<strong>Use this syntax below</strong>

And it put it as a list.

See for yourself here:

Hm......I set the ignore html flag, thought that would take care of that. This is indeed a bug.

[–]smallchanger 0 points1 point  (1 child)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I originally had those headings as list items if you look at one of the earlier revisions so maybe that's a part of the reason why that happened.

[–]slyf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

it is indeed a bug with the way snudown/sundown is parsing headings for the table of contents. It is on my list.

Is there any timetable as to when it will be fully rolled out?

Please let us apply a stylesheet to the Wiki pages too.
