You are here and you are in Orain Actually Orain is HS,

What a different, who is better

 * Yes, Orain is currently down and may never come back again, if you would like a wiki here please request here. Miraheze has a more clear goal.

(Traduction, Oui, Orain a des probleme et marche pas, peut etre sa va jamais marcher encore, si vous voulez une wiki ici clicker ici, Miraheze a un goal plus claire. --Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 14:19, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Some time ago I requested a number of features/extensions. One important feature for my wiki is a license change from CC-BY-SA to CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 I would dearly appreciate it if you would put word through that this feature request is still pending. Cheers.

Orain et puis après Miraheze, est ce que réellement le problème est fini et loin derrière, parce que là j'ai eu peur de revivre la même chose qu'orain.

J'ai même installé mediawiki sur un serveur, bon c'est pas gagné, j'arrive pas à avoir tout, mais là pendant 3 jours le doute a été présent

Wiki request
Hi. May I know if my wiki request (#303) will be approved?
 * It has been approved. <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 14:55, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you!

Remember to substiture certain templates
Certain templates like Wiki created, Requestdenyhyphen, and even Welcome should be substituted (with subst: ). When substituted, these templates are automatically signed, (Notice here how it has the ~ ?) Also, they generally look better when subtituted. When editing a page to reply to these, the template on a page can be confusing. The expanded text will probably be more readable to new users. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:20, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I never got what subst was for. Now I do! Thanks, will do! <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 15:54, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Subst replaces the "Wiki created" on a page with the actual wiki code of the template (expanded). Anything users are meant to read as text should be substituted. Things like userboxes, layout, formatting, etc, should not be substituted. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:31, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Backup Progress
Hey Reception, I'm just wondering on the progress of my backup request. This is only a reminder, hehe; I don't mean to rush or demand.

Thanks for your continued support. Oberyn (talk) 22:55, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

You do not have permission to add or remove user rights.
Hi! I have got a question. I tried to add other members of my wiki team through Special:UserRights. But it said that "You do not have permission to add or remove user rights." I would like to get this rights or to add my wiki team members.

Best regards.
 * Please try adding them using this link. If it still doesn't work please tell me. <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 05:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Teammates cannot login into the wiki
After my teammate login the page says:

Ошибка прав доступа У вас нет прав на чтение этой страницы по следующей причине:

Запрошенное действие могут выполнять только участники одной из следующих групп: Администраторы, member

And english translation is:

Permissions error You are not allowed to read this page for the following reason:

The requested action is limited to users of the following groups: Administrators, member

However teammate account has all attributes and rights namely 1) администратор - administrator 2) member


 * I've begun looking into the matter. Are you sure the users on your wiki are logged in? Based on the fact that with the read right globally I can view pages and the fact that you can log in makes me not think anything is broken. I see you've assigned rights to 5 users. All of these users should be able to login and view pages. Note that they must go to "Special:UserLogin" on your wiki, log in, and then they will have the rights. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:35, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Note that this might also have to do with with the fact that the language is in a non-English language. If the Special Login page has a different name, it may have to be whitelisted. I noticed that when I opened the wiki, I was already logged in (thanks to mw:Extension:CentralAuth|CA]]), but it still said I couldn't read. When I opened my preferences (to make sure my language was set to English, which it said it already was), and then went back to "Special:RecentChanges" and it worked. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:48, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

In case it slipped through
Hi Reception123 I appreciate the work you do on this site, thanks for your dedication! I'm new to wikis, so I seek some guidance. I requested a wiki on 10 Feb and it is pending on 20 Feb. More recent requests by others have been approved (and some still pend) so I am pinging in case it slipped through, and I would offer more info if it would help you decide.

Here's the reference page: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/488

Thanks for your attention from Christy Ann https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Christy_Ann

Video extension
Hi Reception123. I'd like a video extension on my wiki (freecollegeproject) to play self-produced uploaded videos in mpg4 format. Can I upload videos to the Wiki or do I need to upload on a video platform (e.g. YouTube) and play the videos with a Youtube video extension? Thanks H (9:44pm EDT, March 22 2016)
 * You would need to upload via Youtube for the Youtube extension. Sorry for inconveniences, but the Youtube extension is the easiest and most secure for us. So do you want us to add it to your wiki? <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 05:43, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * @Reception: Is there a way to upload the video to the wiki without using YouTube? It would be more convenient for the users, instead of managing a separate YouTube account. Thanks H 11:52, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * There is, only it would take a lot of time for us to find a secure extension, as I explained before. <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 19:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

 * 1) How you guys do to prevent getting hacked again? I need a stable platform for hosting my pages.
 * 2) What to do if a Wikia user wants to move his/her wiki to here?
 * Hi, I am unfortunately incapable of answering as I am not in charge of the technical part of Miraheze. or  can help with that. <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 13:36, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi:
 * We have never been compromised or the victim of any hacking so in term of 'again' there has been no change. Although in general terms, we run up to date software, have in place tough security policies on the technical side, restrict access to only people to need it, encrypted and sign all out going and incoming emails and connections and maintain minimal user-facing services.
 * They'll need to provide an XML dump of their wiki in order to move all the content from Wikia over to here.

Thanks you VERY MOUCH for the wiki!!! And Thanks to Miraheze for hosting !!! Argentine Social Help VERY THANKFUL!!
Very Thanks You for the wiki!!!

And also Thanks to Miraheze for hosting !!!

Argentine Social Help is VERY THANKFUL!!

And of course, THANKS FOR HELP ME DEVELOPING THIS WIKI...!!

Second...

Sorry my English is not good.

Perhaps there is someone who speaks Spanish to give me a hand?

Anyway, I will continue this way in English until I can get help in Spanish.

And finally

I do not see very well. And the large letters (uppercase) helps me see better and make fewer mistakes.

I always try to write everything in lowercase because in Internet the capital is reserved for angry. But I just do it to see better.

Sorry if some paragraphs wrote in the capital.

Is there any way to improve the wiki edit?

And... do not panic ....

We have to Organize the Argentine Help Information over a simple relational database (2 or 3 related files)

Iam not sure if I can do that in a wiki.

And I write an example of our needs here https://ayudasocial.miraheze.org/wiki/Discusi%C3%B3n:P%C3%A1gina_principal

Of course we have to index all the help places by


 * 1) Active or not
 * 2) Country
 * 3) State
 * 4) City
 * 5) neighborhood
 * 6) Kind of Help
 * 7) Avaible today

Coul you take a look and give me some advice? Thank you Again..! --JORGEFE (talk) 22:06, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Two of four requests completed - ticket closed
Hi, many thanks for making two changes to the Metrolook skin as per my request on phabricator here. However, the Vector skin still appears to be the default skin on thelonsdalebattalion, not Metrolook. Also, the 'Create account' link is still there. I do not require other people to create accounts and edit the wiki. I am the only person creating/editing articles. Are the other two changes requested not possible? Or were they overlooked? Cheers -  Borderman   talk 22:29, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The Metrlook skin as default should be possible, I will make a request. For the Create Account we can't restrict creating acccounts on any Miraheze wiki. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 04:04, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * , I didn't realise that turning off account creation couldn't be done, is it because all these wikis are connected - switching the parameter to false turns account creation off on every wiki? That's a shame because in the past I had problems with spam accounts, which gets annoying after a while. Are there other options available to stop this from happening? Thanks, though, for the Metrolook as default request. Borderman   talk 11:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You can prevent spam by restricting editing for users and only let the users you choose be able to edit. Or you can use Special:AbuseFilter. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 14:49, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into it. Also thanks for making the Metrolook skin default on my wiki. Whilst editing I noticed the WikiEditor is no longer working and the old editor is in its place. Anything changed in the settings? Borderman   talk 12:10, 17 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I'd not suggest AbuseFilter, as while it is indeed cheap resource, but it can be very expensive when it is misconfigured. &mdash; <tt>revi</tt>  13:53, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming you mean expensive in the sense it can mess your site up? If you knew they were configured correctly, i.e., copied from Meta or Wikipedia, then surely use of it would be ok. Borderman   talk 19:50, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * If it is copied from Meta and/or tested it shouldn't be a problem, but if not it could cause people to not be able to perform actions because of it anymore. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 07:47, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Got "wiki being created" notification about address/title I've never requested
Hi, I've been requesting "plazmaburst.miraheze.org" wiki creationg but got notification about "fabio.miraheze.org" wiki being created for me instead :) Not sure how this can happen but I don't even know what "fabio" is. Possibly this name had to be registered for someone else?

And yes, I've been requesting name "plazmaburst.miraheze.org" for my game and so it can't have "fabio" instead of "plazmaburst" :P

Requested "plazmaburst.miraheze.org" wiki still does not exist.

Requests for Wiki Migration
Hi, My wiki is at www,network.mwzip.com. Mwzip.com is shutting down. I have requested for aman.info.tm custom domain wiki. I have following questions:


 * 1. Do you provide FTP or shell access?


 * 2. OR Do you have multiple file upload utility as I need to upload around 700 Images?


 * 3. Can you help to import the MySQL DB instead of uploading XML imported pages?


 * 4. Can you enable uploading of ".pcap" files extensions? --Amanjosan2008 (talk) 17:56, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello.


 * 1. No, we don't provide this. You can make requests (see more at Request features and they generally are taken care of in less than 24 hours if they are straightforward)


 * 2. Yes, MSUpload extension, you also need to request this.


 * 3. We generally import XML dumps only. I will talk to and see if he agrees to doing the MYSQL DB (which would take more time than an XML dump)


 * 4. It is possible. Please request it.

Please tell me or request at Phabricator if you would like me to enable MSUpload and if possible .pcap files. --Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 03:28, 14 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 ?

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

 * 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.

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)

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)

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)

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.

Infoboxes
Can you may add infoboxes to this wiki, It keeps showing this error: https://alteriwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox, Thanks in advance. European (talk) 17:21, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * That sounds great, your help would be really appreciated. 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. Please tell me if you have any questions or if there's something you don't understand, and I'll be happy to help. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 18:23, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

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.

 * 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)

Two questions:  Can I post it on a private wiki and state that it may not be copied and used without the author's permission (presumably under "fair use"?)  If I can, is it permissible to post it on a public wiki in the same way?  The purpose of publishing it is not to share information, but to show colleagues what a student can do with such an assignment.  What she did was write 100 multiple choice questions, some good and some not so good, with an explanation preceding each question for an openstax astronomy book.  --Guy vandegrift (talk) 23:42, 30 August 2017 (UTC)A
 * Hi! If you cannot get the permission from the original author, unfortunately, it cannot be on public wiki which utilizes Creative Commons. So answer for "If I can, is it permissible to post it on a public wiki in the same way?" is "no". (If your wiki is licensed under non-Creative Commons license, it's a bit different story.) Answer for the private wiki is bit complex: It may be permissible for you to use it under 17 U.S. Code 110. And because you are a professor and you got the material via assignment, I think we can assume you have implicit permission on the use of copyrighted texts. As such, it may be permissible to privately store it under (Non-Creative Commons way of course) and use it for class stuff only. I am not licensed to practice law anywhere, though. (Long way of saying IANAL) &mdash; <tt>revi</tt>  05:49, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see a strong fair use case here, though there may be one for private distribution. Especially not if you republish the whole thing.  There's no problem in posting something under a different license on a wiki -- this is what the "unless otherwise noted" part is all about.  Barring some kind of employment by the university, I doubt there's a legal basis for reposting this student's work publicly in the absence of explicit consent.  On a private wiki?  Well, teachers have been sharing student work and example tests with graders and grad students for centuries. --Labster (talk) 06:19, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Another copyright question
A colleague wrote a sample lab that I posted at https://freecollegeproject.miraheze.org/wiki/File:WSUL_lab_report_template.pdf
 * Can I post this under "fair use" using his oral permission? Do I need to include his name?  Can I post it as a Wright State Document (since I am an employee of that university?)  If I can't post it on the public wiki freecollegeproject.miraheze, can I post it on the private wright.mirahez so I can at least show it to students during a lecture?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 12:44, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * (PS. Personal opinion) I'd prefer if it is written. commons:COM:Email templates is a good template, and it's easy to use. &mdash; <tt>revi</tt>  05:28, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I am 100% committed to the survival of Miraheze. That means we can't take legal risks, but also that we shouldn't waste our time evaluating potential risks if there is another way.  From my perspective, there are two possibilities: (1) Miraheze needs to be careful about copyright infringement, or (2) Many in Miraheze (falsely) believe that this caution is necessary.... I don't care which statement is correct, and don't want Miraheze wasting valuable time on this.  In the future, I will post files with questionable copyright issues somewhere else, and link to them out of Wikimedia and Miraheze wikis.  At the moment, the only place I know about is subpages to my university site at http://www.wright.edu/~guy.vandegrift/.  Give me some time and I will move all questionable files there.  At the moment, my university is too preoccupied with budgetary and other issues to notice.  If you know of a better place where we can move these "risky documents", let me know.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 16:03, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It took me a few minutes, but I think I found a good place for these files. So far, I only moved one, which is a link out of my main Wikiversity Lake Campus page, which now looks like this:

*Lab report template at two locations: obsolete and preferred

Importing problem
Hi! I'm trying importing other page now. But everytime it's failing. What's wrong with me? TALK  CONTRIBUTION  14:46, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * What is the error message? Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 14:50, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

TALK  CONTRIBUTION  15:00, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That is what I got the first time. Are you sure you did the export process correctly (Using Special:Export and Import)? Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 05:55, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

! yes, i'm sure. i did it perfectly everytime. but the message showing each time. TALK  CONTRIBUTION  12:23, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * If there aren't too many pages I guess I could import them for you, but I don't see why it seems to not be working for you. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 12:28, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

i did try with one page only. but not working. TALK  CONTRIBUTION  12:39, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

DELETE my own TWO WIKIS
OK! leave it totally. If there is no solution. Please, delete my two wikis : mywikiversity and wikisahaba. I requested these for test. THANKS for help and supporting! TALK  CONTRIBUTION  12:50, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Translator issue
I noticed that "translate" right has been added to confirmed user group but I still can't update some outdated translations on the Main Page or CheckUser. When I try to edit the translations, it says "You need translation rights to translate messages."--Tiger (talk) 13:13, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why since you're "autoconfirmed". To be sure, I've now made you "confirmed" so please try now. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 16:52, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I've just made a translation. Maybe the autoconfirmed group doesn't inherit rights that confirmed users are granted?--Tiger (talk) 22:17, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realized. This was fixed by also adding it to the autoconfirmed group. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 15:39, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

FAQ
I mentioned on the Administrators' noticeboard that your post-edit of FAQ needs additional editing. 16:14 21-Oct-2017
 * Oh, sorry. I didn't see the post. I will read it. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 16:16, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

No, you still have a paragraph starting "When using this extension" but you deleted the paragraph that says which extension! More to the point, if dismissable site notices are only available globally, then the reader of FAQ will never need to deal with MediaWiki:Sitenotice_id. If the reader does, then I am confused, and FAQ doesn't rectify the confusion. 16:31 21-Oct-2017
 * I've updated it to make more sense. DismissableSiteNotice is enabled globally, but that does not mean that it only applies to global site notices. -- Void  Whispers 16:51, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

I see the distinction. There are a few typos left, such as a red-link to Content policy and "poliies" on the next line.

And here is a FAQ for you. Who is following me around on TheMirror and uploading a helpful photo just before I finish using Special:Upload? It seems that my File: namespace is a view to Wikimedia Commons, and if I should try to load a filename that they have, it recommends that I use theirs. 00:27 23-Oct-2017
 * This is because of InstantCommons which allows any non-WMF wikis to be able to use Commons files. If you don't need/want it it can be disabled. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 05:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

No, it's fine. It's helpful, just not explained anywhere. 13:04 23-Oct-2017
 * Since more people have asked about this, it's a great question to be added to the FAQ. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 13:06, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks; thought I was losing my mind, etc.; I propose this text to ask the question the way the reader would ask it, and provide specifics for the Phab request:

Why does it say the file I'm trying to upload is already there?
All Miraheze wikis begin with the InstantCommons extension installed, which gives wikis outside the Wikimedia Foundation access to media in Wikimedia Commons. When you use  to add a photo to your wiki, the response suggests that the photo is already uploaded! This simply means there is a photo in Wikimedia Commons by the same name. You can use that photo immediately. Or, if you prefer your own photo, you can complete the upload. That name, on your wiki, will now refer to your photo.

If you don't want your wiki to work this way, then request that InstantCommons be disabled on your wiki.
 * Thanks for the more detailed explanation. The only thing I changed is the word extension, since it was transfered from an extension to an integration in the MediaWiki software. --Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 16:12, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
