FAQ

How do I request a wiki?
Go to Special:RequestWiki, and fill in the form.

Why don't I have administrator or bureaucrat rights on my wiki?
Oops! This should be done automatically. If you leave a message on the Stewards' noticeboard, we'll take care of it ASAP!

How can I request a feature or extension on my wiki?
Please go to feature requests, and put your request there. It will be done as soon as possible.

How do I work with MediaWiki (e.g. creating and editing pages)?
Please check out the MediaWiki help center for more information about working with MediaWiki!

I am not able to access my wiki!
Are you sure your wiki has been created (according to Special:Log/farmer)? If yes, then MediaWiki might have logged more information about the error. Please contact a sysadmin, so we can look at it.

How do I change my logo/favicon?
Please make a request at feature requests.

How do I configure a custom domain?
Please check Custom domains and then request at feature requests.

How do you finance your hosting?
Miraheze entirely depends on donations from others, because we don't have ads and we don't get financed by any company or government. Please see donate and finance for more information.

How can I allow a user to read the content on my wiki?
Please go to Special:UserRights on your wiki, fill in the username and add them to the member group.

How can I remove the bureaucrat rights of a user?
Only stewards can remove the bureaucrat rights of a user. Please ask a steward to remove the rights if you have a valid reason (e.g. clear abuse or a request of the wiki founder).

How can I grant oversight or checkuser rights to a user?
Because these rights allow access to extremely sensitive private information, access is restricted to stewards and other highly-trusted users. Besides, please read CheckUser and Oversight for more information about requesting a CheckUser of requesting suppression. If you think that you (or someone else) really needs CheckUser/Oversight rights, please ask the stewards for more information at Stewards' noticeboard.
