FAQ/pt-br

Esta é uma coleção de algumas perguntas frequentes (FAQ) sobre o Miraheze.

Esta página não é um documento de política, mas um guia introdutório. Refere-se a alguns documentos de política reais, como a Política de Dormência. Leia esses documentos para ver quais são as políticas reais.

Que lugar é esse?
Esta é uma coleção (uma "fazenda") de wikis. Um wiki é um site orientado para a edição colaborativa com publicação instantânea e mundial. Miraheze usa o software MediaWiki, que permite que várias pessoas editem a mesma página, suporta realce, ilustrações e efeitos especiais, e mantém uma cópia de cada página em cada ponto no passado, que pode ser copiada ou pode substituir a cópia atual. Wikipedia é o wiki mais famoso.

Nossa página principal declara nosso compromisso ao administrar este site.

Quem são essas pessoas?
Os usuários do Miraheze são conhecidos apenas por seus nomes de usuário. Uma pessoa usa o mesmo nome de usuário em todos os wikis de Miraheze. Durante o registro, você escolhe seu próprio nome de usuário. Um usuário Miraheze pode optar por revelar sua própria identidade, no entanto, revelar a identidade de outra pessoa sem sua permissão é uma violação grave. Aqui estão algumas funções:


 * Stewards - Eles são responsáveis por questões relativas à comunidade global, bem como por quaisquer ações wiki globais; por exemplo, comportamento perturbador em seu wiki que você pode não resolver suficientemente por sua própria ação administrativa lá. Você pode contatá-los no quadro de avisos dos comissários.


 * Administradores de sistema - Eles são responsáveis pelo funcionamento técnico do Miraheze e por garantir que tudo esteja funcionando conforme o planejado.


 * Meta Administradores - Eles são responsáveis pelos assuntos que envolvem este wiki, "Meta". Os metadministradores são responsáveis apenas por este wiki.


 * Conselho de Administração - É o órgão dirigente da Miraheze Limited. Atualmente, é a principal autoridade financeira, de decisão e de definição de metas da empresa. Existem atualmente 4 diretores.


 * A própria comunidade Miraheze - todos os usuários, na medida em que eles se importam em participar - reúna-se no quadro de avisos da comunidade, onde você pode discutir qualquer coisa relacionada ao Miraheze, a comunidade e observações sobre as quais gostaria da opinião de outras pessoas.

O que são esses wikis?
Existem atualmente hospedados no Miraheze. Você pode ver alguns wikis em Gazetteer of wikis com uma descrição em miniatura criada pelo autor dos wikis. Muitos desses wikis convidam você a lê-los ou até mesmo a fazer contribuições. Para uma lista de todos os wikis hospedados, você pode ver Special:WikiDiscover.

Por que se chama Miraheze?
Por que não? A propósito, muitas pessoas pronunciam Miraheze de forma diferente.

Para quem gosta de saber, Miraheze é uma mistura de Mira e Heze que são duas estrelas.

Como você financia sua hospedagem?
Miraheze é uma organização sem fins lucrativos e depende inteiramente de doações de terceiros. Não temos anúncios, nem somos financiados por empresa ou governo, por isso dependemos de nossos doadores. Consulte Doe e Finance para obter mais informações.

Por que o Miraheze não tem anúncios?
As pessoas odeiam anúncios, os anúncios não nos renderão mais dinheiro do que doações (e os anúncios podem induzir as pessoas a parar de doar para nós), os anúncios são um vazamento de privacidade e os anúncios aumentam o risco de pressão das empresas que fazem a publicidade que ajustamos o conteúdo em wikis. Defendemos nossa independência editorial e a dos autores que trabalham em wikis individuais.

Como posso doar para Miraheze?
Miraheze atualmente aceita todos os métodos de pagamento aceitos pelo PayPal. Você pode clicar aqui ou enviar uma doação diretamente para. Para obter mais informações, consulte Donate ou entre em contato com Owen.

Posso contribuir de outras maneiras?
Nós adoraríamos isso! Por favor, veja Contributing para mais informações.

Quantos servidores você possui e onde estão localizados seus servidores?
Atualmente, temos 2 servidores localizados em Londres que hospedam 10 instâncias virtualizadas. A maioria de nossos servidores está localizada em Londres, um deles está localizado no Canadá (cp9) e cp3 está localizado em Cingapura. A maior parte dos nossos servidores estão alojados na OVH mas o ns1 está alojado no RamNode e o cp3 está alojado no DigitalOcean.

Você pode ver mais informações e documentação sobre cada um deles em nossa lista de servidores e em suas páginas específicas

Como solicito um wiki?
Primeiro, crie uma conta, depois vá para Special:RequestWiki enquanto estiver logado e preencha o formulário.

Como posso confirmar que meu wiki foi criado?
Sua solicitação deve aparecer em Farmer log e em request wiki queue. Quando alguém aceita sua solicitação e cria seu wiki, isso também deve estar visível em Farmer log. Além disso, você receberá uma notificação quando a solicitação for aceita ou recusada.

Existem alguns casos em que um wiki não pode ser criado, como quando um wiki com o mesmo nome já existe, quando você não forneceu informações suficientes em sua solicitação ou quando criá-lo é contra o Política de Conteúdo ou qualquer outra Política Miraheze. Nesse caso, você será avisado sobre a solicitação e, em alguns casos, também na página de discussão do usuário.

Qual é o estado inicial do meu novo wiki?
Colocaremos uma página principal em seu wiki, com palavras (no idioma escolhido) que sejam tão convidativos quanto possível, visto que nenhum membro do wiki escreveu nada real ainda. Nós o encorajamos a editar isso com qualquer material que você deseja que o visitante veja primeiro.

E se algo der errado?
Infelizmente, isso pode acontecer de vez em quando. Fique calmo! Verifique sua solicitação no Farmer log para ter certeza de que a solicitação entrou no registro e foi atendida. As maneiras mais rápidas (e recomendadas) de relatar um problema, é no Phabricator e no IRC, mas você também pode deixar uma mensagem no Quadro de avisos da comunidade ou entrar em contato com um administrador do sistema de sua escolha. Se você recebeu uma mensagem de erro quando tentou visualizar seu wiki, ou tentou realizar uma ação que deveria ter sido permitida, copie essas informações e inclua-as em seu relatório.

Do I need to learn MediaWiki?
Most of what happens on a Miraheze wiki is dictated by the MediaWiki software. If you began by editing your wiki's Main Page, then what you type would be visible by every visitor. However, to make your wiki attractive, with highlighted text, headings, sidebars, infoboxes, illustrations, and dynamic effects, you will need to add mark-up as specified by MediaWiki although through the Special:ManageWiki/extensions page you can enable 'Visual Editor' which is a 'what you see is what you get' style editor.

A good introduction to MediaWiki is at the MediaWiki help center. A few recurring questions are answered below.

How do I give a distinctive style to my wiki?
Every web page is "rendered" on the reader's screen according to a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). Your wiki will have a document named MediaWiki:Common.css. It contains not text but rendering commands in a special language. For example, to make every second-level section header come out in green, include this command: H2 { color: green }

If you can write code in JavaScript, you can do more powerful things, such as rearrange elements on the page or make the size of an element depend on the size of the window being used to view the page. Code placed in MediaWiki:Common.js takes effect for all users and all pages of your wiki (provided the user has not disabled JavaScript).

How do I import content onto my wiki?
To import a single page from another wiki, use  on that wiki to obtain an XML dump of the page. Then add it to your wiki using your wiki's.

To import some or all the pages from some other wiki, get an XML dump of those pages, then attach the dump to your request on Phabricator. An alternative is to email the dump, with instructions, to tech@undefinedmiraheze.org. For more details, please see Import.

How do I install infoboxes on my wiki, like Wikipedia has?
As above, use Special:Export on Wikipedia to get an XML dump of the template, then install them into your wiki with your  page. Be sure to click the "Include templates" button before export!

Templates with advanced features, such as the show/hide toggle, need special CSS code. View the source of Wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css, copy the sections that start with, and add this code to your wiki's   page.

When making changes to your wiki that involve several pages, don't just refresh the page but "hard refresh" it (Ctrl-F5 on Firefox) to ensure that your computer discards any old versions of any of the pages it may have saved in its page cache.

For more information you can read this guide

How do I make a notice appear at the top of every page?
Add the notice you want to see on the  page of your wiki.

If you have had previous content in the sitenotice, don't just edit  but also make a change to the   page — You can just keep increasing numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on. This is how MediaWiki remembers that you have changed the Site Notice after a given user dismissed your previous notice.

You can put, in, a message-of-the-day to be given to visitors who are not logged into Miraheze. These notices are not dismissable.

How can I change the status of my wiki?
Your wiki has a  page that gives you control over your wiki. This page lets you:
 * Change the language of your wiki (which affects the language of the messages that are built into MediaWiki). Any editor can type anything into a page of a wiki, in any language, no matter what you declare is the official language of your wiki.
 * Mark your wiki private, or mark it public again.
 * Mark your wiki closed (inactive), or reactivate it.
 * For a full list of features and tips on use, please see our ManageWiki help page.

More complicated changes not listed require you to make a request. We are working on making it possible for users to change these themselves.

Why am I on another wiki's Special:ListUsers page?
(Or, you may ask, Who are all these people listed as users of my wiki?) A person's registered user name is the same on every Miraheze wiki the person visits. Every time you view a Miraheze wiki while being logged in to any other Miraheze wiki, your user name is attached to the local wiki, and therefore to its user list. You can see all wikis a user is registered on via CentralAuth.

Why are Wikimedia Commons files on my wiki?
All Miraheze wikis begin with Instant Commons enabled, 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 would like to disable InstantCommons, go to "Special:ManageWiki/settings", then click on the "media" section, then unselect "Enable Wikimedia Commons Files" and then click the "submit" button under the "submit" section.

What is going on with my Main Page?
The main page of every wiki on Miraheze is subject to the following special conditions: One way around both special conditions is to have your Main Page redirect to another location (see below). Alternatively, one may simply remove section headers from their Main Page entirely. However, for users who wish to still use the main page and have section headers, there is a way to do this by using HTML divisions. Please refer to this guide for more details.
 * It can be read by everyone even if the wiki is private (see below)
 * Users on mobile devices cannot tap section headers to get the section to expand. This means that mobile users can only see the section headers on the main page.

How do I change the name of my main page?
Visit  in your wiki. You will see "Main Page" or your language's default main page. Click. Decide which page, which it has to be a page that has been created, should be your new main page, and put that page's name. After verifying you entered correct page name, save it.

How private is a private wiki?
A private wiki can only be viewed and edited by its members (as well as Miraheze Staff). You can go to your wiki's Special:UserRights and enter the name of any registered Miraheze user to put that user in the  group on your wiki.

Why can everyone see the Main Page on my private wiki?
This one page is always public, by rule. You can get around this rule by putting your main content on some other page (say, "Real Main Page"), then edit your main page to redirect it there:
 * 1) REDIRECT Real Main Page

Who or what is this "Phabricator"?
Phabricator is a system by which wiki owners can ask for technical assistance from Miraheze system administrators. Phabricator means you don't have to direct your request to a single system administrator, and deal with the possibility that that person is vacationing or has quit. Phabricator remembers requests and lets anyone volunteer to satisfy the request. It makes it less likely that requests get lost or ignored.

Phabricator is seperate to the MediaWiki software, which is the software powering your wiki, but it is still under the control of Miraheze.

You have to log into Phabricator, but if you are already logged into Miraheze, this is automatic if you press the button with the MediaWiki logo.

The page Request features has an overview of requesting help, including the types of requests you can make.

Why can't I do the tricks I can do on other wikis?
Your new wiki will have an ordinary installation of MediaWiki. Many people have written extensions to MediaWiki but most of these, by default, are not installed on new Miraheze wikis. Some popular extensions enable:
 * Uploading of audio files in the  format
 * Writing alternative renderings, to be chosen at random
 * Additional functions in the MediaWiki meta-language
 * Assembling lists of pages on your wiki, which can be inserted into a page
 * Helpful ways of linking to additional media from other websites, such as Google Maps

The page Extensions describes extensions that are pre-installed on your wiki, extensions you can request to be added, and extensions we won't add for privacy and other reasons. Request features describes the process by which you may request an extension be installed the Miraheze wiki farm, and this feature request form on Phabricator will allow you to request an extension be installed on the farm. It will help if you can state the exact name of the extension you want to be added to your wiki or link to its page on MediaWiki.org.

How do I change my logo or favicon?
If you don't like the yellow-and-tan Miraheze logo, and have custom artwork, you can install it as the logo and/or favicon for every page of your wiki. Please see the ManageWiki help page for details on how to make the change.

How can I get a custom domain for my wiki?
Your wiki does not have to be a sub-domain of. It can be any web address that you are able to acquire. There is more information about this at Custom domains. If this is what you want to do, see Request features to make a request.

How do I get a backup of my wiki?
All Miraheze wikis are backed up using Tech:Bacula, but if you are an administrator, you can use Special:DataDump on your wiki to get an XML dump immediately.

For more details please see Backups.

How do I make my wiki read-only?
For making your wiki read only from everyone (including yourself) for specific periods of time you can enable the "ProtectSite" extension in ManageWiki.

For making it read-only to specific users/groups only you can utilize the ManageWiki/permissions feature.

How can I remove a bureaucrat from my wiki?
Bureaucrats are the highest-ranking officials of a wiki. Normally, it requires a request to a Miraheze steward to remove a bureaucrat. You must have a valid reason, such as abuse, or there must be consensus in the wiki to do so. The steward will want evidence (such as specific edits) that shows you are not just asking them to take one side in a clash of personalities.

Apart from moves against a specific user, you can use ManageWiki/permissions to empower a set of users on your wiki to remove bureaucrats. However, if bureaucrats can remove each other, other bureaucrats can remove you.

May I have Oversight or CheckUser rights?
Stewards have the authority to delegate these rights to other users, but generally speaking the Steward body feels that it can handle all of these requests in a timely manner.
 * Oversight allows edits to be hidden further from the permanent historical record. It is sometimes necessary when the mere disclosure of information violates someone's rights, and it will not suffice to undo the edit but leave it in the history. For example, if the name of a page discloses personal information or is libelous, it will not suffice to just delete the page. This is similar to the Revision Deletion function available to local administrators but with Oversight it can only been seen by a very limited group of Stewards and Staff.
 * CheckUser discloses the IP address and other device information from which a user is reaching Miraheze wikis. It can sometimes provide evidence that several users vandalizing a wiki are in fact a single person or potentially connected.


 * If you require Oversight of an edit, you should where possible use IRC and privately message Stewards or use Discord and type @Stewards to get the attention of a Steward. Please do not post any information publicly. If a Steward does not respond, you may email stewards[at]Miraheze[dot]org.
 * Where CheckUser assistance is needed, you may request help on the Stewards' Noticeboard in most cases. If you are not comfortable requesting help publicly or you believe private information is involved which you should reveal, please contact the Stewards via the above methods.

I just enabled an extension or changed a setting but I don't think it is working, what should I do?
Please try turning the extension off and on again or re-saving the configuration change and then wait a few minutes. If you are still having an issue, please ask for help on Phabricator and we will try to get it working as soon as possible.

How does a wiki close?
A wiki closes (becomes inactive) when you go to  and tick the Closed button. It is reopened when you return to  and uncheck this button.

A wiki can also be closed by stewards or automatically after a period of inactivity, as specified by the Dormancy Policy. Read the actual policy document rather than relying on this summary. The Dormancy Policy went into effect on 5 January 2016 and applies to all wikis.

If you have perused a closed wiki and believe you could take it further, please go to Requests for adoption.

How do I move my wiki?
Exporting pages from a wiki, such as to a mirror site or to a host other than Miraheze, is the reverse of importing pages from another wiki onto your Miraheze wiki.

If your wiki consists of a small number of pages,  lists them. You can copy this list and paste it into the  page to produce a content dump in XML format.

If your wiki is larger, Miraheze can provide assistance. You should request this assistance by opening a ticket on Phabricator.

If the target host does not use the MediaWiki software, the pages may require conversion into the format that the target host uses. Miraheze cannot help you with that.

Where can I find your configuration?
We have a [//github.com/miraheze GitHub organization] where we store our Puppet configuration, extensions, MediaWiki install and other code.

The config for wikis can be found in the mw-config repository.

Why can't I access the site using HTTP?
In the original HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), pieces of a request to, or a response from, a web server flowed over the wire or wireless network in plain text that it was easy for anyone to read. HTTPS is a protocol that scrambles each packet to make it harder to intercept. Wikipedia and its sister projects switched to HTTPS in 2015. We too support only HTTPS, to keep private information secure and to protect users against downgrade attacks. In addition, we require that Miraheze wikis with custom domain names have a valid SSL certificate.

There are proxy websites that give you access to HTTPS websites using HTTP, but we do not recommend or support their use.

I've got an issue with a user or wiki
If you've unfortunately had issues with users or wikis then there are steps you can take to settle the dispute. Please try and remain civil and calm at all times.

If it's a user

 * 1) Talk to them
 * 2) Raise it with an admin. On this wiki (meta.miraheze.org) only, you can use Administrators' noticeboard.
 * 3) If there is no resolution, you should then read the Code of Conduct. If it's a CoC issue, then email conduct[at]Miraheze[dot]org.

If it's a wiki

 * 1) Raise the issue with local wiki staff first
 * 2) If there are still issues then you should ask a Steward for help either on their Noticeboard or via stewards[at]Miraheze[dot]org for enforcement under the Content Policy or other Global Policy.
