I would like to recover the wiki "https://fablac.miraheze.org/wiki/Accueil"
Good morning,

I am contacting you because I will wish to recover the wiki of our school. It's called "fablac". We are very disappointed not to find him again.

Thanks in advance. Have a beautiful day, Sophie
 * Hello and welcome! I am not a Steward, but I think your request would carry more weight if you were a registered user.  Please pick a username!   22:23 20-Mar-2019

How do i add a Infobox? i Know Barely anything about Coding on Wikis sadly.
Hi, i'm New here as i Moved from Wikia's Mass-Ad Festival to here which seems cleaner. Only Issue i have right now is Adding Infoboxes to my Wiki.
 * Hello and welcome! Please read FAQ.  (Better yet, read the entire page!)  Take care when importing code, because sometimes a template relies on other templates and you need to import them all.  You're right that it's "cleaner" to edit here than at Wikia, where they are always breaking stuff.  Templates are somewhat like subroutines in a programming language, and unfortunately, it will require learning about them, because even if you get them to work, you'll find you want to tweak them.   13:48 23-Mar-2019

How do I get to the Special:ManageWiki to uncheck the "closed" box to reopen it
My wiki was closed for dormancy - and I would like to re-open it, but I don't know how to get to the Special:ManageWiki page to uncheck the "closed" box. DebyJolley
 * Surfing to the page  (making an appropriate substitution for  ) should get you there, though I do not know if other problems will prevent you from completing the operation.   03:45 2-May-2019

Thank you, Spike!!

SSL Certificate invalid
Hello, I use CloudFlare to cache my wiki and use its Universal SSL certificate. My wiki, https://vmcodex.net/, also uses a LetsEncrypt SSL cert. If I set CloudFlare's SSL security to "Full (Strict)" (i.e. origin must have a validated SSL certificate), I receive an error 526, Invalid SSL certificate. I can override this by changing to "Full", which allows invalid SSL certificates from the origin (usually for self-signed certs) but I would prefer to be in this state as little as possible.

If I bypass CloudFlare entirely, it looks like the LetsEncrypt certificate expired yesterday and was not renewed (see screenshot here).

Thanks for your help! NotoriousRBG (talk) 02:03, 6 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, if you set it so your domain does not use the cloud flare caching, we will be able to renew the domain. Apologies (I must have missed the domain). Paladox (talk) 02:33, 6 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I've renewed the ssl cert now! Also we doin't allow you to use cloudflare caching see Custom Domains - Cloudflare. Paladox (talk) 13:31, 6 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Done. NotoriousRBG (talk) 14:46, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Special:ManageWiki
https://hypohurricanes.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/permissions has some problems. I want all the wikis in the Hypomedia Foundation (the foundation that i own) to have all the managewiki permissions restricted to the user right Hypomedia Foundation System Administrator and not b-crats. Please do this for all HMF wikis. Please also change the settings at and. Thank you. Cheers, Fungster ''My talk 05:13, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, please, after doing this action, please give me the right 'Hypomedia_Foundation_System_Administrators" locally on this wiki. Fungster ''My talk 05:17, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Not a Bureaucrat
Greetings. I had my wiki created yesterday and when I wanted to access Special:ManageWiki I realized that my user (DanialTP) did not have Bureaucrat permissions and could not manage the wiki despite being the only user on the wiki. Here: https://amenthesproject.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUserRights&user=DanialTP you can see that I only have administrator powers and not a bureaucrat, while here: https://amenthesproject.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers you can see that I am the only user.

It would be great if I could be given bureaucrat powers such that I can use the ManageWiki function especially since I created the wiki. Thanks!


 * Hello, i've deleted and recreated your wiki. You are now a Bureaucrat!. (You will have to re upload the files though). Paladox (talk) 14:13, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

A little doubt...

 * Dude, it's possible to rename users in Miraheze wikis?
 * It's possible to check the user's logs/registers (CheckUser)?
 * I created the Founder members group in Rewiki, but i'm forbidden to choose this permission for me (gray option).

-Haizaki (talk) 15:49, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Both are possible, but the action itself is limited to Stewards and Staff as necessary. Renaming should be done by a user requesting it through Special:GlobalRenameRequest, and the page CheckUser should outline how we use that tool. To get into a custom group, you can do something akin to going to Special:ManageWiki/permissions/bureaucrat and using the Group Assignments tab to make it so that the bureaucrat can add and remove the Founder group. Once you've added it to yourself, you can then disallow bureaucrats from adding the Founder group. -- Void  Whispers 16:41, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Right. I'll try this.Haizaki (talk) 16:50, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Haha. Delete the Uncyclopedias too.Haizaki (talk) 14:13, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * A user who does not have consensus from the wiki to delete it can't simply request deletion like that. If there is a problem with the wiki such as a global policy or Terms of Use violation, please report that instead so it can be investigated. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 14:25, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Checkuser Request
Can we please get a CheckUser on the All The Tropes users Mohamed Saed, Fungster and MohamedG92? We suspect the latter two to be sockpuppets used to evade a tempban on the first.

Thank you. -- Looney Toons (talk) 15:38, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Request noted, though this is now a Terms of Use issue, I’m declining this on that basis but will look into it separately shortly as a separate matter, which will be dealt with out requiring further intervention from you. John (talk) 15:54, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

한국동요위키's sitename problem
koreadongyo.miraheze.org 한국동요위키's name is broken. it's name is '한국동요위키', but because of error, it's name was broked and changed to í•œêµ­ë™ìš”ìœ„í‚¤ --Dongyomania (talk) 03:12, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

sitename of libre.miraheze.org was broked too. --Dongyomania (talk) 03:19, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You'll have to fix it with Special:ManageWiki. Should just have to replace the broken name with the intended one. -- Void  Whispers 04:40, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I hate to say this, but some issues are caused by our tech staff, and I think they are responsible for fixing them back. Why do you ask the local crats to fix them by themselves instead (which in many cases won't work because they are no longer active)?-- 05:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I have checked all the Japanese wikis to find that there are about 20 wikis with non-active crats (and not all of them are dead communities to be clear). The Japanese group is probably not the largest non-English community, and it's likely that we still have dozens of wikis suffering from a similar situation - broken names, with some of them still have their permission groups unfixed.-- 06:09, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Please would a steward delete all 73 of the files in "Category:CGS Serge kit image" from sdiywiki? -- Rob Kam (talk) 16:25, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Can you at least close the wiki? The wiki is going against Miraheze's ToU, because many users have unacceptable usernames and are using racist words.--MCpillager (talk) 14:28, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ( non-steward comment ) By the looks of it, the wiki bureaucrats have already closed the wiki and are attempting to fix the issues. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 15:06, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, close the wiki! It is a troll wiki that is against the Content Policy, and for example PaladinDeGigantas said the n-word is not allowed, and there may have comments about the n word, so you might have to make a RfC about changes to the Terms of Use in order to save us from troll wikis that could potentially cause damage to the servers.

Hello, I'm the admin of the Horrid Reception Wikis Wiki and I apologize about that major issues about it due to that wiki had numerous drama with other wikis on FANDOM Wikia. Right now, me and OldDirtyFoamer are fixing the issues as in dialing down the inflammatory and there's no reason to close down the wiki. First of all, the wiki is never racist as we had a fellow friend who is a imbecile. Second, it's never a troll or a harassment wiki as it has valid criticism. Third, you are getting on my nerves, again, and I'm sick of both of you spreading lies. It makes me want to quit the internet and find a real job than listening to mean people. Mar9122 (talk) 16:24, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Do not listen to Mar. He is just ignorant about miraheze rules and some of the users were getting harassed because of the pages that they made about them. In fact, the wiki is getting out of hands, with pages getting deleted everyday now, and even some of the members and editors are vandalising pages. What’s ironic is that Mar and OldDirty stated that no admin and none admin users should not be editing or that they will block that person, yet the editors didn’t get punished, which shows major hypocrisy. You’re an adult,! Mar, you should get a job instead of wasting your life as an admin on a corrrupt and failed wiki. - Boss999
 * The salt is too real. I now hate you, Boss. I hate you, very much, that you don't deserve my f---ing life as a basement dweller myself. Go to hell! Mar9122 (talk) 17:36, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Well I did go to hell and I came back.
 * You know what? You guys win because I'm losing my sanity. I'm going to tell OldDirtyFoamer to give up so the drama would stop. I just can't stand it, anymore. Mar9122 (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * we arent promoting trolling, like a boss is just upset we criticized him. MCP8llager, were already deleting racist stuff. This one troll keeps coming, and we keep blocking him. His username is PeetahBaxter69, and we absolutley hate him. We are keeping up HRWW, dont be salty boss.
 * I am not salty, and I can handle criticism; just not false criticism. And what I mean is criticism that is either false or misinformed. I am not wanting to delete my page only, but all of them. Mostly because the users that have pages about themselves have matured and have some false and misinformed criticism. It’s like I said, I only want the wiki to be deleted, and I will not stop unless the wiki is retired or closed.

Hi
Can I create an alternative account? Now I lost the password of LegoMaster again, and since the account will and might not be used again, I have removed the email address on it. Can I create an alternative account Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 06:07, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You can create multiple accounts if you wish, as having multiple accounts itself is allowed on Miraheze (as a whole). However, I don't get your point what you are asking us for. If you don't use the account LegoMaster, you can leave it alone (even if you forgot the password).-- 10:04, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * If the use of multiple accounts are allowed, so how can Lawrence-Prairies be locked for using multiple accounts Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 14:17, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Because they use the multiple accounts to abuse/violate policies on MH Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 14:34, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

How can I see the progress of my new wiki?
Last night I requested a new wiki:MX Linux users en and it was created but only wiith the subdomain:mxlinuxusersen.miraheze.org. But I wanted it to be accessed by wiki.mxlinuxusers.org. Therefore I registered the domain, created the subdomain and point it to your site. I did also a request on Phabricator for a Let's encript certificate. So I ask: Is there a possibility to see the progress over all steps? --Peter Littmann (talk) 04:27, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You can set up your notifications on phab from your setting page there, that will allow you to recieve e-mail notification of the progress of phab tasks. In addition, your phab ticket (in this case, which is T4486) page will note every related progress and comments.-- 05:46, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * So it hangs only at phab and Let's encript now? Do they work on sundays? Whats about the link from...
 * We are all volunteers, and if our tech staffs are active, they may work on Sundays as well. The link above shows the phab ticket page of your request.-- 06:45, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

 * After the setup is done, mxlinuxusersen.miraheze.org will be redirected to wiki.mxlinuxusers.org. I think you've already followed our guidelines on custom domains, but if not, please follow the process written there.-- 06:56, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Request for exemption from the dormancy policy
Hello, we are currently working on our wiki "IKgroßeGruppenWiki" and I want to ask if our wiki could be exempted from the dormancy policy. We're gathering a pool of didactic methods that can be used in library courses. The wiki will be open for our community to add new methods but it will most likely be used primarily as a research-platform. So we can't guarantee that there will be enough changes and contributions within 60 days to prevent it from being deleted. We are very grateful for your great service!
