gRegor Wiki search is returning 401 when not signed in. Blocking the bots from wiki history might have been a bit aggressive. Can we allow search but still block the history pages?
#
gRegor Found when I was trying to search on mobile where I'm not signed in currently: https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?search=IMC&title=Special%3ASearch&wprov=acrw1_-1

aaronpk oh interesting, I didn’t realize the search also used `/wiki/index.php`
#
aaronpk the block is at the nginx level, not mediawiki, it blocks anything at the `/wiki/index.php` path

#
gRegor Can it be a bit more granular and block the path + query param `oldid`? Looks like that's how MW links to the past versions of a page
#
aaronpk Possibly

gRegor what is huffduff-video
#
Loqi huffduff-video was a service that extracted audio from video and sent it to Huffduffer. It was shut down 2024-11-16 in part due to bot blocking and declining usage (see GitHub comments) https://indieweb.org/huffduff-video
#
Loqi remind [aaronpk] to update the slack emoji database again

#
gRegor what is relevant to indieweb
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "relevant to indieweb" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "relevant to indieweb is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegor what is relevance
#
Loqi Anything directly related to people with their own websites, such as technologies and services used, design and UX, formats and protocols, as well as events or podcasts with IndieWeb talks or content are relevant to the IndieWeb wiki https://indieweb.org/relevance
