partup (Status: Pending upstream work)
Jurjendevries (talk) 14:03, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Wiki: partup
 * Domain: partup.miraheze.org
 * Extension/feature requests:
 * Extension 1: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_HTML_Meta_and_Title Add_HTML_Meta_and_Title]
 * Reason: Want to change the HTML title of the main page.
 * We're reviewing this extension.
 * Who is reviewing? Missing a signature. Any idea how long this will take, or do we need to look for another extension with the same output? --Jurjendevries (talk) 08:24, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * When I go through the edit history I'll put Unsigned on that. Anyways, because this extension isn't enabled on any wikis or even installed yet, it must go through a security review performed by our operations team. I don't honestly know how SEO is currently handled. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:40, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * @NDKilla okay good to know. What is the average time such as security check will take? Will it be a couple of days, weeks or something else to expect? --Jurjendevries (talk) 10:21, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * the extension seems to fatal on our development wiki, so it can't be used on partup yet. I'll ensure patches will be merged upstream. Southparkfan (talk) 16:47, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Awaiting merge. Southparkfan (talk) 17:07, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Merged. John (talk) 20:12, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

 * for the Favicon, they can do it ;). SleepyMode  12:40, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Still looking at others, most requests are done. Southparkfan (talk) 14:25, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It seems like the SectionHide extension is not working. I see hide buttons but clicking them does nothing except add a # to the url. Rikki21 (talk) 20:20, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not sure what the problem is, it is probably a problem with the extension itself, which Miraheze cannot fix. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 11:54, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Apparently there's some code you need to put in the common.js file. It works now, thanks.Rikki21 (talk) 02:25, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

 * flag rev tool is very useful, it helps reviewing edits of new users. It is already used in many Wikipedia projects and is effective in defendig vandalism. Nice thing hope you can do it.. --Supermohi (talk) 12:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Css and Js schoolboard (Status: Open)

 * Wiki: Css and Js schoolboard
 * Domain: cssandjsschoolboard.miraheze.org
 * Extension/feature requests:

Lemondoge T C GC 22:37, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Feature 1: Allow bureaucrats to edit the interwiki table (related to the extension Interwiki.)
 * Reason: I want both bureaucrats AND me to be able to edit the interwiki table.

If I'm not mistaken, the interwiki table is only configured on Meta Wiki and it applies to all wikis on the farm. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:42, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Correct. All changes should be made on meta and in general a central management method is best as it prevents directing users to untrusted sites through seeming less fine internal blue links. John (talk) 18:41, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No... I would mainly make them go to either other wikimedia project pages (for example, I would make a interwiki prefix which would be "extension", and would go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:$1 ) or even namespace aliases (for example, CAJSB would go to https://cssandjsschoolboard.miraheze.org/wiki/Css_and_Js_schoolboard:$1 ). Anyways, I don't even really know many virus websites! Also, I DO NOT know how to code a website, nor a virus website. Additionally, I would use the Mediawiki:Common.css page to color the interwiki links (anyways, I've been a EXPERT at CSS since I got interested into it when I looked at w:Wikipedia:Signatures.) One more thing: Meta wikis do share their interwiki table with the wikis of that farm, but that doesn't mean the interwiki table can't be customized locally! Lemondoge T C GC 14:25, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I kindly ask you to comment on Lemondoge's comment. This pull request would fix this issue. Southparkfan (talk) 14:34, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm still not happy about splitting off the table as a central one seems betters and would be more effectively managed. Namespace aliases should also be configured in LocalSettings not using an interwiki. MediaWiki also has a link already so I don't see the need to add another one. To me, risks outweigh the positives in a global sense but I don't object to doing it per wiki. So I'm leaving it up to others to decide if it should be done for this wiki, I don't object I just don't see a demonstrated need besides (in theory) bypassing configuration changes.

Rebel Alliance of New Eden (Status: Done)

 * Wiki: Rebel Alliance of New Eden
 * Domain: rebelalliance.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page
 * Extension/feature requests:

Pestillium (talk) 00:33, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Feature 1: I've uploaded the image that I would like to be the wiki's logo, it is named logo135.png
 * Feature 2: Is it possible to make the wiki private with a white list? If so, is there a cap on the members that can be on the white list? Can the main page remain public?
 * Reason:
 * I will make a request for the logo. For the whitelist the only way to do that is for you to add the usernames 1 by 1 with Special:UserRights. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:43, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I have now seen that the wiki is private, therefore only sysadmins can make a request for the logo. . Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 06:31, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Extension 6: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Admin+Links Admin Links] ✅
 * Extension 7: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups Popups] ✅
 * Feature 1: Every visitor can view, but no one except a user with administrator rights can create accounts (register a person), so no registration by anonymous users. ✅?
 * Feature 2: Only logged on users are able to edit. Disable editing by not logged on users.
 * Reason: We have a procedure for allowing editors and have already > 70 users to add who have permission to edit. Preventing vandalism and illicit editing
 * Most of the extensions are done. Your request to prevent registration has been denied, we won't disallow this for technical reasons - but I disabled anonymous editing (= only logged in users can edit). I can restrict editing to a particular user group (i.e. 'editors' or 'sysops'), you can put users in a user group using Special:UserRights - if you want that, please tell us. Southparkfan (talk) 14:51, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, you may add the user group 'editors'. I want to be able to put users in a user group. Kees Langeveld (talk) 14:21, 8 February 2016 (UTC).
 * This thing has yet to be done. Kees Langeveld (talk) 18:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Or else, perhaps, allow me to do it by implementing for our wiki the extension Usergroups. (Kees Langeveld talk), 20:48, 8 February 2016 (UTC).
 * . Instead of the extension PopUps (status beta) you might prefer to install the easier extension TextExtracts (status stable). That would be enough for me. Kees Langeveld (talk) 10:45, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Both extensions PopUps and TextExtracts are installed Kees Langeveld (talk) 18:10, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ it seems. John (talk) 22:08, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No, two things are yet to be done: 1. extension ClipUpload and 2. adding a user group 'editors' Kees Langeveld (talk) 18:10, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Reason: for hosting structured data. SMW is not as important as wikibase.
 * I'm not sure if we'd ever be able to install this at Miraheze. Wikibase and Semantic Bundle are both very large, and not the easiest extensions to install. I'll ask the other sysadmins for input, but besides I think that we can't really install those for you, sorry. Southparkfan (talk) 15:30, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

 * I will look into them. For your previous once we have an overwhelming amount of new extension requests and it is really hard to make reviews for them. Sorry for any inconvinicences but it may take a while for the extensions to be installed.

 * Thank you for the update. I wanted the TimedMediaHandler because it was the same one on Wikipedia that allows you to play uploaded .ogg files in their Listen template. Using YouTube for that would not be ideal.-Rikki21 (talk) 22:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Referendum Iniciativa Ciudadana (Status: Done)

 * Wiki: Referendum Iniciativa Ciudadana
 * Domain: ric.miraheze.org
 * Extension/feature requests:

Pablo2garcia (talk) 16:24, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Feature 1: We want ric.miraheze.org to be readable by any visitor and writeable by newly registered users (in the future maybe editable by any visitor).
 * Feature 2: Automatic SPAM control of users and posts. How do we do that with mediawiki? An extension, a configuration change?
 * Reason 2: forseeably we will get a lot of random-SPAM-bots. At least that happened at other wikis I ran as dynamizer.
 * Feature 3: We want to have the wiki interface by default in Spanish. Is this posible?
 * Reason 3: Our audience is in Spain and main language is Spanish, and Spain is not very English savvy.
 * Feature 4: We want to install the option to edit with an easy text editor, probably WYSIWYG, that doesnt require wikisintax knowledge and has its usage messages in spanish. Any recomendations? Guess: "Visual Editor".
 * Reason 6: We want to have by DEFAULT a simple editor that does not require users to see any wikisyntax, but that wiki syntax is still reachable. We understand Visual Editor allows this.
 * Feature 5: Youtube extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:YouTube)
 * Feature 6: Flow extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Flow)
 * Reason 6: We are a wiki devoted to discussing, proposing and working on different law proposals, we want to try out simpler and better discussion systems mainly for wiki-iliterates.
