The Finance page is awesome!

Do you have any preferences for naming the Facebook group?

Some options:
 * Miraheze
 * Miraheze supporters
 * Friends of Miraheze


 * Although the decision for the name is not up to me, I'm just clarifying, is it a page or a group? A group could probably be any of these (but I'm personally liking 'Friends of Miraheze'), but if it's a page we should just use "Miraheze" -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 11:00, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

There is a page here:
 * https://www.facebook.com/miraheze

SyntaxHighlight
Hi!

Thanks for enable this plugin on my wiki

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight

https://pascalscada.miraheze.org

I don't know what happens, my pascal codes are not highlighted. Do you have a example? It has another syntax on Miraheze?

What constitutes a system change?
[08:33]  When the upgrade to 1.28 happened the response in channel was that you had tested it [08:34]  I think not having a test server is not working [08:34] <+SPF|Cloud> The only MediaWiki upgrade done by me was MW 1.26 iirc [08:34]  The sysadmins need training on how the system works [08:35]  Who tested the 1.28 update? [08:35]  maybe a ticket to show everyone is approving an upgrade is a good idea? [08:35] <+SPF|Cloud> I have no idea. [08:35]  You should be documenting major system changes [08:36]  you should have notices of non system issues like expired certificates moved to another channel [08:36] <+SPF|Cloud> There was no major system change. [08:36] <+SPF|Cloud> At least, no infrastructure change [08:36]  an upgrade of the mediawiki software is a major system change [08:37]  I'm not sure why you would think otherwise [08:38]  You do not have robust discussion of your decisions [08:38]  an IRC channel isn't very accessible to many of your users [08:38] <+SPF|Cloud> 14:37:31 <+ SPF|Cloud> The changes (code-wise and database-wise) were not that major. [08:39] <+SPF|Cloud> In case that wasn't send, irccloud failed to send that [08:39]  I'll see if Brent agrees [08:39] <+SPF|Cloud> Sent* hopefully I fixed that now. [08:39]  then I'll be done Oh, hey. It's in our advertising that we run the latest stable version of Mediawiki, so not upgrading is a major change? Meh, maybe not. I think we always intend to keep upgrading, so there isn't really a need to keep polling everyone. It's part of our makeup, and on the front page of miraheze.org. So I don't think we need community approval because y'all signed up for it.

I... don't really have a strong opinion about upgrade notification, except that it needs to be done at some point, and we need people to help look out for modules that break. This time we let Extension:MassEditRegex slip through the cracks (and so did its maintainers). I'm a little more worried about what happens if a skin doesn't work and we just break things. But again this is not really something that is important to me personally. Labster (talk) 21:36, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

I think the point I'm making is that you need to reach out to your users differently than your system administrators. Rsterbal (talk) 06:25, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Mini-grant w/ user:Guy vandegrift
See: https://freecollegeproject.miraheze.org/wiki/Solar_Eclipse_Mini_Grant_(due_12_Jan_2017)

I plan to submit this to the contact person, as well as to NSF and the American Astonomical Society just before the deadline. The fact that the original grant-submission website has been taken down is almost an advantage because I can use this as an excuse to send the proposal to others who might know how to best get this funding. The emphasis will be on funding Miraheze and not on my efforts with Wright State University Lake Campus, because my efforts will be halted if Miraheze does not thrive. Your name is on the draft, but will be removed if you do not approve. Don't worry if you are late in approving your participation in this - it would be a nice touch but will have likely little impact on whether this effort succeeds.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 17:10, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
