Contacting Miraheze
Hi,

I’d like to inform you that effective immediately Miraheze has changed the way you get in touch. Please read below to find the new emails for some teams. The old emails will redirect to the new details until further notice.

You can still contact the board via board@undefinedmiraheze.org. The use of “Miraheze Staff” has been removed due to the lack of formal staff at Miraheze and little need for a shared mailbox.

Thanks,

 * Until further notice? I'd like to echo "forever" &mdash; Don't delete redirects! Cool URI doesn't change. &mdash; revi  12:13, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Only reason I say that is, I have no clue what will happen in 50 years. There’s no intention there to remove but things could happen between now an 2060. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  12:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Adding a interwiki link to the CWCki for my wiki
Greetings, I've wanted to add a Interlink to the CWCki (https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Main_Page) to my wiki, MessengerGeekia (messengergeek.miraheze.org).

It'll likely be only used once, until something major happens to me (as this is for the article all about me) -DreamIsland (talk) 19:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * what should be the prefix to use (example: voy:, commons:)? Hispano76 (talk) 15:17, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Name space number
What is the name of the special page where you can see the list of namespace numbers on the local wiki?--辞書城主 (talk) 13:41, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Is it Special:AllPages? Hispano76 (talk) 18:10, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Alternately you could try editing a page in a namespace and adding the text  to the page and hitting preview. The number it generates will be the namespace number. Otherwise, if you want to access a full list of namespaces, you can use the API with a query like the one at https://meta.miraheze.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces . --  Void  Whispers 18:14, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * This was because the newsletter needed a newsletter namespace number or a local-only namespace number to specify the newsletter in the abuse filter. They have already been resolved. Thank you very much.--辞書城主 (talk) 00:34, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Sitenotice, but for Mobile
FAQ works only for desktop, not for Mobile.

On Mobile the only notice one sees is the Miraheze donations notice.

OK I filed https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T5057

Translation administrator question
Extension:Translate works fine. I can mark pages for translation but list of rights does not show that I am a Translation administrator. Plus how can I grant a user right to be a Translation administrator if I do not see that in membership groups ?

Electron PDF extension
Hi, since https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/pull/2852 we've removed the duplicate option of installing Electron. The collection extension is required for the electron extension to work, so enabling just Collection will install electron alongside. If your wiki used only Electron and not Collection, please enable Collection instead as the option to install Electron independently has been removed. Paladox (talk) 19:43, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

My account was being renamed but it stopped getting upgraded 3/4 of the way
I renamed myself from AnimalLovingGuy to ScrewSociety, but since it updated my name on each wiki in alphabetical order by the wiki's name, it stopped at Reception Flame Wars Wiki because the wiki closed down. As a result I lost access to my account a few days ago, and I really want to get it back. Can you please help me?
 * I apologize for this issue, I have fixed it and you should now have access to the account. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:26, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

How can I become an autoconfirmed user?
(this was copied and pasted) I made an account on Miraheze a year ago. On Atrocious Youtubers Wiki, I am still not an autoconfirmed user and it pisses me off. It says I need 10 edits yet I'm not allowed to edit anything on that wiki. Can someone please help me?

Edit: I contacted an admin. Hopefully I'm granted the abilities to edit. User:SaltylakeXD


 * Autoconfirmed status is up to each wiki to decide, not anything global. You should contact the administrators or bureaucrats there to request to edit. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:23, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
