I have a problem
Can someone look at this? I can not get any further.
 * looks like you want to set up auto promote, You can do so from Manage Wiki permissions. Bonnedav (talk) 21:35, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

What's happening with Labster and the finance pace?
Read up

My avatar doesn't show up whenever I write a comment?
Everyone else's does, though. This must be a bug or something.

I know I tried deleting my avatar and reuploading/changing it again, but it's still blank in the comments.

I hope there is one way to fix it. One way or another...

Error with cargo table
Recently I opened Cargo extension on rs.miraheze.org. However, after editing a template decaling Cargo, error happens. See Special:CargoTables and Template:关卡信息. And Special:CargoTables is currently empty. --SolidBlock (talk) 12:05, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
 * If it is an issue with the Cargo extension itself, you should make a task item at phabricator. --EK ● contribs 17:57, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
 * OK. --SolidBlock (talk) 11:50, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
 * According to Yaron, I would need to get an admin to add "$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;" to the settings for the wiki to see the actual error message, if that's possible. See mw:Extension talk:Cargo. --SolidBlock (talk) 02:45, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

add "frw" interwiki link in magehands wiki
Hi! Could you please add an interwiki entry to the local interwiki settings of https://magehands.miraheze.org ? The URL pattern is "https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/$1", and the prefix should be "frw". Around 95% of our external links are going to route there. If it has to go into a common interwiki table, feel free to go with "fr-fandom" or "fandom-fr" as a prefix (if "frw" is too terse), but if it can be local to magehands please use "frw".
 * Being a private wiki, do you give us Member permission to view the wiki and do the interwikis configuration you ask for? this is necessary for me or my colleagues to help you. Hispano76 (talk) 21:08, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I’ll happily grant permission, but I’m not sure how yet (I’m completely new to wiki administration, sorry). Do I create a separate account on my wiki with your username that you’ll attach to, or is there a Special Page that I’m not seeing where I can reference your meta account and add it to the Member group? I’ll keep looking through the docs, but I’ll take pointers too :)
 * So I simply marked the wiki as not private, temporarily. Hope that suffices.
 * ✅ The process should done. 00:44, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

How to adjust SwgAutoConfirmAge
I would like to adjust $SwgAutoConfirmAge on my wiki to be a day ($wgAutoConfirmAge = 86400;). That affects who gets into the Autoconfirmed Users group. When this is done, I can grant Autoconfirmed Users full rights but restrict the rights of "*" users. In other words, I can set up a policy that says, "if you want to make changes, your account has to be at least one day old". I figure most spammers and vandals don't have the patience to wait.

I can't seem to find a way to adjust that from the web interfaces though. Can you point me to a way to adjust that? Thanks in advance.
 * It should be possible to manage these settings through Special:ManageWiki/permissions/autoconfirmed, specifically in the Autopromotion section. -- Void  Whispers 22:01, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Miraheze page loading slow?
I'm quite new to Miraheze and I've noticed that all pages take quite a while to load. Usually takes a second or two, but sometimes up to 10 seconds even. This seems to happen in any Miraheze hosted wiki, but not in any other MediaWiki based wiki. So I'm wondering whether this is due to me living in Estonia and the servers being far away? Or are Miraheze's servers just underperforming for whatever reason? Olaroll (talk) 00:33, 17 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, we've tried to resolve the situation but we are at full capacity and need to upgrade our backends. We are looking to increase our capacity early next year. Paladox (talk) 00:37, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Cannot create new page from search
Normally to create a MediaWiki page, you can simply search for the article in your search box. If the page is not found, MediaWiki will prompt you to create the page. However, on my wiki, I am not prompted to create a new page. I can create a new page if I create a link of a word that does not have a page, but I don't get the link to create a new page from searching a page that does not exist. Is there any feature that must be enabled?

Contacting Miraheze
Hi,

I’d like to inform you that effective immediately Miraheze has changed the way you get in touch. Please read below to find the new emails for some teams. The old emails will redirect to the new details until further notice.

You can still contact the board via board@undefinedmiraheze.org. The use of “Miraheze Staff” has been removed due to the lack of formal staff at Miraheze and little need for a shared mailbox.

Thanks,
 * ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c - 23:10, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Until further notice? I'd like to echo "forever" &mdash; Don't delete redirects! Cool URI doesn't change. &mdash; revi  12:13, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
