How much storage space does Miraheze have?
Well, My wiki, Crazybloxian Empire, could get large pretty soon. How much storage space does the wiki-hosting service have? , or. The one in Illogicopedia might be a good sample of this.-- 16:17, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Visual Editor not scaling SVG files
Sorry to post again in such a short period. I have run into a conundrum, I'm not exactly sure where this question should be directed. I really like using the visual editor but I have noticed that it displays SVG files at full size. This is a bit problematic because I use SVG files for my flags. When I go to edit this page the flag in the infobox scales to the default 600x300px size. I was going to go on phabricator until I noticed that the visual editor did the same thing on this page. So it seems to be universal. However, it does not do this when using visual editor on Wikipedia, for example when editing Canada the flag in the infobox stays the same size as it does when viewing the page. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm posting it here because you all were very helpful earlier. - CerebralPolicy (talk) 20:07, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I have checked that it actually happens myself, but I'm not sure why. I think it's related to the configuration of Miraheze, so you should ask it on Phab.-- 20:40, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Help with the proofreadpage extension
I was wondering if anyone has ever used or has an understanding of the proofread page extension I would like to use this properly on my Great War wiki and am in the process of trying it out. I have most of it working (having had to include a few other things to make it function correctly) with the exception of two things that I can see. I would really appreciate any help in trying to fix these as the first issue is just aesthetically unpleasing to the eye and the second issue is the main the reason I wanted to use this extension. Apologies for being absent on meta for quite some time; I've had some stuff to deal with and have been busy with adding pages on my wiki. Thanks. 21:12, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) There is a Lua error message on my page here compared with Wikisource's same page here I don't know what this is or how to fix this.
 * 2) The page numbers, shown thus in square parentheses: [1] [2] [3] etc., which when hovering over highlights the text for that page (of the original source), don't appear on my page or any other page. This is the one main thing I really want to work but doesn't.
 * Ah, the first error has nothing to do with the extension. I'll have to try and clean up some of your modules as they seem to require extraneous features. The other one is a script or gadget. I'll find out what you need shortly. -- Void  Whispers 00:54, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The script you're looking for is PageNumbers.js, and can be loaded with . --  Void  Whispers 00:56, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for having a look, and so quickly too. What do you mean by it can be loaded using the code above? Do you mean this is all that's needed on MediaWiki:PageNumbers.js to load the appropriate code directly from Wikisource? I've haven't done anything like this before so don't know how it works, however, this is what I've done. Is it a case of waiting to see if the changes take effect? 08:11, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem to be working, did I do it correctly? 06:39, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Should have been more clear here, but the best place to put that line would be MediaWiki:Common.js as it won't load for anyone in its current place. -- Void  Whispers 16:09, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, tried that. How long does it usually take to work as it's still not show those page numbers? Does it matter where that code is placed on Commons.js? 20:54, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Help with infobox
Hi, I've been having trouble trying to get my infobox to work correctly (the template in question shown here). I've been trying to create a cell box (if that's the right word for it) for it and for it to be shifted to the right (shown here). I'm very new to the MediaWiki style of editing after editing on Wikia for the past few years so any help would be great! Coldcherrii (talk) 02:56, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You are missing styling most likely from MediaWiki:Common.css, depending on where you took the infoboxes from. I'm not too sure since I don't usually deal with Wikia templates. I think what you need is the styling:

.infobox { background-color: #f2f2f2; border: 1px solid #cccccc; clear: right; color: #3a3a3a; float: right; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1em; padding: .2em; }
 * But I'm not sure that will handle everything. -- Void  Whispers 03:04, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It worked so far! Thank you so much! Coldcherrii (talk) 03:09, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Wiki does not make
When trying to make a wiki, you can not make it by displaying the message "The database name may not contain non-alphanumeric characters." Why are the messages displayed, although they should not be typed except for alphanumeric characters?--大根やろう (talk) 08:00, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you tell me what the wiki name is?
 * Have you checked that you entered your subdomain WITHOUT, and in one word (without spaces)?
 * I've had such error in the past because I have mistakenly added miraheze.org, which is unnecessary.-- 09:21, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you.--大根やろう (talk) 12:02, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * My pleasure :) (but it's a bit ironic, because it was I who answered this question, and at the same time who lead you to Miraheze meta instead of talking about this issue at Enpedia, isn't it? 結局日本人が答えている訳ですし).-- 12:52, 5 July 2018 (UTC)modded.-- 12:52, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
