Background for wiki?
Hi another thing. How do I change the background for my wiki. Can I also change it in an other color (Example: Brown ore with a background from yu-gi-oh the game) Here you have an example: http://battlestar.wiki/Accueil European (talk) 16:31, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Please search "Skins" on https://mediawiki.org as I'm not sure what skin you need. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 16:43, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I want the same skin as http://battlestar.wiki/Accueil. And later I wants to edit it for the colors. I don't know if you can make it for me ore? European (talk) 16:54, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * For that you need to copy paste http://battlestar.wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css to your wiki with the file name also being "MediaWiki:Common.css". Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 16:58, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I have done that but it don't work. Maybe I did something wrong? https://yugioh.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&action=edit 17:07, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot about http://battlestar.wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css, I have added this to you. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 17:23, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Do I have something to do ore, ctrl and F5 and then you can see the result? European (talk) 17:29, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, you should. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 17:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I have done that but don't work. Maybe I have to wait a minute. Õhw and do you know what happened with miraheze 5 minutes ago? The page don't work. European (talk) 17:47, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I made a change to something and there was an error, so this got the site down, I am very sorry for any inconveniences that this caused. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 17:48, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Am sorry but the wiki don't work with the CSS. European (talk) 17:51, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

CSS skin
Can you maybe look one more time for me. I want the same skin as http://battlestar.wiki/Accueil. but that you already know. European (talk) 18:15, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I will keep looking but I'm not sure I can tell how to change it. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 03:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Special:RequestWikiQueue/1706
Hello.

First, thank you for creating the wiki.

Well, I have a favor to ask of you about Special:RequestWikiQueue/1706. Can you change the Sitename of this wiki? (ram → Rampdia)

Thanks.

p.s. If setting "Private" of wiki is yes, anyone don't read it? --Garam (talk) 14:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I will change the sitenotice now, and yes, if it's "private" no one but you, and members you select can read it. If you want this to change please ask me, and I will change it. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 14:25, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

What group to be allowed to use Renameuser extension
Hello Reception123,

Thanks for your help for the Logo and favicon : )

I made a mistake when creating an account for someone : I created two for her. Jennifer and Jennifer L on cnv.miraheze.org.

Is it possible for me to use the Renameuser extension ?

What group should I be in for that ?

And if it's not possible, could you rename Jennifer L to Jennifer ?

Thanks !

--Dieudo (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Only Stewards can rename people, as it is globally done on all Miraheze wikis Reception123  (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 05:43, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Jenifer L can't be renamed to Jennifer because the latter account already exists. If you created both, just give them access to the first account. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 14:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Would like to add 7 students to this wiki
I am an instructor with 67 students, but would like to start small this year and add only the 7 in my smallest class. I will include them in Wikiversityprivate. Is that OK? A related question you don't need to answer right now is ''how fast can or should Miraheze grow"?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 14:29, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * To clarify on the question that does not yet need to be answered, can over 100 students register new private wikis each year so that they can do their lab reports? If not, how can I help Miraheze grow to the point where such action becomes routine?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 15:39, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

 * I have 2 questions:
 * I have decided that I want to volunteer, specifically in the area of helping newbies set up their accounts if they are using this for educational purposes. I am not much of an expert in wiki software, but I am a custodian on Wikiversity and also very active there (see either this or this).  I teach at Wright State University and all my courses use Wikiversity exclusively (see this or this).   I believe Mirahenze can play a major role in how university education is structured.  I can imagine a day when virtually every college student on earth has a private wiki where they do the bulk of their assigments, with the best work being  published as pages in Wikipedia,  Wikiversity, or perhaps in a refereed journal such as the WikiJournal of Medicine.

 * Yours truly --Guy vandegrift (talk) 15:04, 16 September 2016 (UTC) (AKA wikiversity:User:Guy vandegrift)
 * Hello. I am sorry that you're having trouble registering users. To create an account you need to go to Special:CreateAccount and to request a wiki to Special:RequestWiki. For adding members to your wiki (or other wikis) you go to Special:UserRights and add them to the member group. If you still don't understand something please feel free to ask.

 * Austin Smith is registered on https://wikiversity.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page. But when I try to register User:KTangeman26, ng18, CRind , Emily_R, and Brack_Attack25 onto wikiversity.miraheze, my Special:UserRights page replies: "There is no user by the name "CRind". Check your spelling."  I even tried to go into Special:CreateAccount and create the account for CRind, but was told "Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name." The students created these usernames in class,  using words like "Test" and "wiki" to create the pages.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 18:46, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * This is because they first need to login to the wiki (wikiversity.miraheze.org) Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 18:53, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Equations not always parsing
I want to emphasize that fixing this problem is less important than ensuring the health of this wikifarm, because such technical problems eventually get fixed, while this Miraheze farm has yet to become as established as it needs to be. Someday, I hope this farm (or one like it) becomes larger than Wikipedia! I am a strong supporter of open-source college educaton and can imagine a day when virtually all classroom assignments are done by students in wikitext, and privacy is essential for that to happen. That would involve hosting as many as 20 million wikis!!!

With that long-winded introduction, the equatons at

https://wikiversity.miraheze.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem_on_a_violin_string/Part_1#Alternate_forms_and_Dirac_notation

were not parsed as I am writing this, and they were written over 12 hours ago.

I noticed from the beginning that miraheze is slow to parse equations, and have a simple workaround for this current project. The workaround is kind of complicated, but involves a mirror site at Wikiversity. If you can fix this problem soon, great! But I will assume you have more important things to do if you don't. As I was attempting to research Miraheze, I discovered that a person with your username attempted to publish an article at wikipedia:Draft:Miraheze. I imported the Wikipedia draft  into Wikiversity and checked the new history page, and that is how I discovered how Wikiversity's Reception123 ran into a couple of head-strong Wikiversarians a while back. If you are the same Reception123, you should know I am much easier to get along with, and look forward to a long and beautiful relationship with Miraheze.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 18:34, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello again. I agree that this Math parsing problem is important to fix and therefore will make a Phabricator ticket about it, so someone can look into it. Thank you for supporting Miraheze! Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 08:42, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It is unlikely that students will rely much on the Math extension anytime soon, but a few colleagues and I are attempting to collaborate scientifically; one lives hundreds of miles away. If we get the paper published, I will request an acknowldegment to Miraheze for sponsoring this collaboration.  --Guy vandegrift (talk) 10:14, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Questions about wiki
Hi, I just began to use Miraheze's wiki that was created for me, but I couldn't the button „refresh page“ or sth that removes the cache (is useful in modules to recompile them). Or do I need an extension for this?--Zygimantus (talk) 20:09, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

What is the effect of my confirmation? What can I instantly became steward? If not, I will not waste time and show all to them that I worked in miraheze.

Tidying up unused categories on user pages
I was just wondering what Miraheze's stance is on multiple unused categories on user pages. The following two users User:Materials and User:Heaven2eleven have several unused categories that do not seem to enhance Miraheze in any way. It is not directly evident that these are categories with an intended purpose on Meta or if they are for personal/testing purposes. Can these these be removed to reduce the number of Wanted Categories? Thanks. Borderman  talk 21:46, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. I will proceed in removing these categories. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 21:46, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I have also removed the userpages as one of them was only made up of these categories and one was used for advertising purposes solely. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 21:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

It was supposed to be either Rhiliannexus.miraheze.org -or- rialiannexus.miraheze.or.

Phabricator
If we can't create personal Phabricator calendar events, how else do we change our "Availability" field on our profile to indicate when we are not available? Amanda (talk) 10:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see why the "availability" is so important but unfortunately I don't think there is another way. The reason personal calendar events shouldn't be created is that other people on Phabricator aren't interested in personal events, and the Calendar is used for public Miraheze events. If everyone created their personal events, it would be full of events and would be messy. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 10:58, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Wiki Request
Hey there,

I mistakenly requested a new wiki at a custom domain (request 3034).

Could I request that the domain be, rather, a subdomain styled as: overon.miraheze.org?

Thanks for your time.

All the best, -Veldias

DNS Configuration for New Wiki
Hello! You created a new wiki for me earlier today (#3035, arms.institute). I can visit it at armsinstitute.miraheze.org, and I've configured the arms.institute domain to use ns1.miraheze.org and ns2.miraheze.org as its nameservers at my registrar, but it seems like there are no DNS records.

https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/arms.institute

https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/arms.institute

Also, please configure SSL via Let's Encrypt.

Thank you!

 * can help you, as I'm not too good with infoboxes. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91525"> contribs  ) 05:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * You need to import Module:Infobox, Module:Navbar, and Module:Arguments from wikipedia. Basically, anywhere you see "Script error: No such module "Something"", this means that you need to import Module:Something from an external source. I also strongly recommend importing MediaWiki:Common.css, or at least everything from  up to, but not including  . If you need any help, be sure to let me know. Cheers --  Void  Whispers 19:17, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

I still don't understand, Can you may help me to add all this stuff to the wiki? It would be a lot easier for me. Frestovenia (talk) 12:07, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * All of the modules you need should have been imported. All you need now is for a local administrator (sysop) on the wiki to import MediaWiki:Common.css. This will make it so that Infoboxes will display properly. I've made it so that Template:Documentation does not require modules to function, but that's all I can do.

One question
I was looking at the create wiki special page and its pretty easy to understand, however, want do I put into the "database" name field. CnocBride (talk) 21:50, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * In the wiki requests that you attend, clicking on "Create wiki" in any request, that is filled automatically (unless the user requests a custom domain). The name of the database is the URL of the wiki + the wiki suffix (for example: metawiki = meta.miraheze.org, thiswikiwiki = thiswiki.miraheze.org). In the case of custom domains, this field must be filled manually following the above (for example: example.com = examplewiki, thiswiki.tk = thiswikiwiki).

CnocBride (talk) 18:12, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

First of all you should probably read Contributing and Tech:Change a wiki's logo, then, as most of us did, you just learn from seeing someone else do it, and from experience.

I understand the basics of enabling a certain extension on a wiki. I'm sure I'll get it eventually. CnocBride (talk) 21:56, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok. If you want to help all you need to do is keep an eye on open Phabricator requests (or make a Herald rule that subscribes you and sends you an email) that have the "Configuration" project. You can start by trying to do your own task :) Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 06:35, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Reception, I have made changes to the LocalSettings.php for my request on phabricator (no. T1995). I forked the LocalSettings and I have checked it to ensure its correct. It seems like it will work I just need to get approval from you's to merge it into your LocalSettings.php. I'm just having a bit of difficulty with this. Could you explain how I submit my changes? Cheers &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs 12:17, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It is easier (especially when you are learning) to use the GitHub.com editor. You will just need to go here and click the pencil icon, the rest should be automatically done since you already have a fork. After you're finished adding your changes, you scroll down and give a title to your pull request, then submit it. After that, me or any other sysadmins will check your pull request, and if there are no issues with it, will merge it so that it can be used.

P.S.: Your signature was missing a  tag at the end, making my message unreadable. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 12:33, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

New wiki request
Hi. I requested a new wiki from this wiki network, and my first request gave me a red notice (upon submission) saying "non-alphanumeric characters" are not allowed in the wiki (name?/url?). So I changed the url to lack a hyphen, but then got a red notice that told me I already submitted a request. 2 things:
 * 1) It may be less confusing if you prevent that "non-alphanumeric" red notice from appearing whenever you submit a new wiki request. Maybe instead put the warning in the submission form itself.
 * 2) How will I know when the new wiki is set-up? Will I get a message on my Talk Page, or do I have to constantly check the url I initially submitted? (I'd prefer a message on my Talk Page though). This is another thing that could be told in (or after submitting) the wiki request form. --UltimateKuriboh (talk) 19:13, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No comment on your first question, but for your second one, wiki creations are always followed by a talkpage notification. Also, if you have an email attached to your account, you will also recieve an email notification. I personally have been trying to automate the (talk page) notification process, with some success. From what you've stated, it looks like we may need to tweak the submission throttle to only apply to valid submissions. However, you should be able to make your request again (if not, please supply us with any details). Cheers -- Void  Whispers 22:06, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
