Importing the Harry Potter Wiki
Hello, I am a disgruntled user from the Harrypotter.fandom.com site. I am requesting if you, as system admin, could import the entire site fromt here to here. All pages and images there. In addition, I'm talking to the Reddit mods if they can support it as well. Thank you.

Losira (talk) 18:00, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , thank you for your question, and thank you for creating an account. Please keep in mind we are all volunteers, and that posting in multiple locations does not expedite your request. Instead, please file a Phabricator task, after clicking "MediaWiki login" and linking your account to your wiki account. Assign it to the MediaWiki project, then you can move it on the workboard to "Maintenance script run," and it'll be completed, usually, within 24-36 hours. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 18:13, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * hi, I have created this but I dunno how to assign to Maintenance script run. Losira (talk) 21:17, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. In the "Add action" box, you just need to select "Change project tags," typing "MediaWiki," and then select "Move on workboard" and select "Maintenance script run." I have done this for you this time, though, so not a problem. What the system administrators will need is for you to export an XML dump from Fandom. To do this, you need to be a  on the wiki, which I assume you are, then go to Special:Statistics, and "request dump." This will generate an XML file for you to upload to the Phabricator ticket. You then need to manually download every image on your wiki, zip them up, and upload the zip file to the Phabricator ticket. Once that's in place, a system administrator will process it for you.

Changing a custom domain
Dear Admin

We are planning to change the domain of Gyaanipedia from gyaanipedia.co.in to gyaanipedia.com so is it possible to request this change and if it is then is there anyway to redirect pages from previous domain to this, I mean gyaanipedia.co.in/wiki/xyz should redirect to gyaanipedia.com/wiki/xyz kindly help me in this matter Shaunak Chakraborty (talk) 05:18, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll be honest, this does sound like a great deal of work with very little benefit, given the number of wikis involved. While I can see you updating the "gyannipedia.co.in" subdomains to "gyannipedia.com," and this can certainly be done in a Phabricator task, adding a whole bunch of redirects for "gyannipedia.wiki," "gyannipedia.xyz," and "gyannipedia.co.in," each requiring its own certificate, is an extraordinarily amount of unnecessary work. To be honest, what you should do is host your DNS for the latter three domains with a free DNS provider that provides 301 web redirects/web forwarding addresses. That way, all the configuration can be done on your end, not Miraheze's. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 05:28, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your help I just want to know that what are the DNS records or settings to redirect all the 108k pages of gyaanipedia.co.in to gyaanipedia.com if you know it, kindly help me. Shaunak Chakraborty (talk) 05:50, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, that is a consideration when changing your domain name. Changing gyannipedia.co.in to gyannipedia.com should either redirect all your pages on the old domain to their location on the new domain in either or one of the methods or, at the very least, redirect all pages on the old domain to the main page/homepage on the new domain in either or one of the methods. Please bear in mind this is a consideration you'll have to bear in mind, though, and you should fully consider all ramifications, as we are all volunteers and not equipped for months of back-and-forth trying to correct search engine search results from a switched domain.

Can't Get SSL License With CSR
Dear Admin，

I wanted to combine my domain name with my wiki, but my domain server needn't me to apply a SSL license with CSR (because they had simplify it). Do I have to apply for an SSL certificate through CSR?

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fdawn (talk • contribs) 15:17, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm not exactly sure if I understand what you mean but there are two options: 1) You would like to use your SSL provider and that means that we need to give you a CSR that you then have to give your provider 2) you use our own certificate provider (Lets Encrypt) in which case there is no CSR involved and you just point the domain to us.

Changing custom domain
Hi Reception123, could it be possible to change domain of PetraWiki, which is currently www.petrawiki.org, to en.petrawiki.org?

I would like to make this wiki multilingual by creating separate MediaWiki instance for each language so I would like URL of each instance to be subdomain of petrawiki.org (en.petrawiki.org for English PetraWiki, hr.petrawiki.org for Croatian, etc). Is this possible?

My domain registrar name servers are currently pointing to "ns1.miraheze.org" and "ns2.miraheze.org". Do I need to change this? --Luka Ibrišimović (talk) 17:43, 9 January 2021 (UTC)


 * To answer your questions in reverse order, since Miraheze is hosting your DNS, the zone file change will need to be done by them, though you could also probably do it with a pull request in the applicable Miraheze repository, too. In terms of the custom domain change, ordinarily this would be requested on Phabricator; however, since it's just a change of an existing custom domain, I'm sure can process the request here, linking to the diff in the log summary. Did you want   to be set up as a redirect as well? And, if so, which wiki should it redirect to? Dmehus (talk) 17:46, 9 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, since you ask,  can be set up to redirect to  . As for the first part of your answer, does this mean I don't need to change anything with my domain registrar? --Luka Ibrišimović (talk) 18:12, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's correct, unless you're using backup nameservers at your domain registrar, of course. But, yeah, that is an advantage to fully outsourcing your DNS to Miraheze. Reception123 can make the changes to your domain's zone file, hosted with Miraheze, then process the request for a custom domain as requested above. Once your wikis are set up, please ping me on my user talk page if you require interwiki and interlanguage prefixes to be set up on each of your wikis' interwiki tables. Dmehus (talk) 18:22, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd still recommend filing a task because then it makes it easier for other sysadmins to work out which wiki the custom domain was set for and on who's request in the event that it broke for whatever reason. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  18:45, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, that does seem like a bit of unnecessary bureaucracy. If it's broken, then a task can be created at that time. Dmehus (talk) 18:48, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * When it breaks, it's a lot harder to find the initial information if there's no task for it. It's too late to make a task about it being created if we've forgotten why. It's not bureaucracy, it's accountability and documentation. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  21:01, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've created this task in order to track this request. Are the only domains that you want en.petrawiki.org -> petrawiki.miraheze.org and hr.petrawiki.org -> petrawikihr.miraheze.org? Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * He would also like  to be set up as a custom domain redirect to  . He also has a shared media repository wiki, too, though he hasn't said if he wants that to be on a custom domain yet or not. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 06:59, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I will stop writing here since you created task for this and will write there instead. Thank you all for your help! --Luka Ibrišimović (talk) 13:14, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. Dmehus (talk) 16:03, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Trustworthiness

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * ✅. Incnis Mrsi has recreated Module:UCS, and related module documentation, on this wiki, and is reminded to simply assume good faith and resolve concerns locally with the other party to which they have a dispute first. Dmehus (talk) 15:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello.

You promoted one Pppery to a bureaucrat in TemplateWiki. Due to importance of templates it’s nearly a position of Miraheze staff member. The steward deems he’s the same person as the Wikimedian Pppery. Surely you checked Pppery makes various template stuff fine, but how about trustworthiness? Your guys, probably, didn’t investigate in-depth how does Pppery behave in Wikipedia.

On September 10 Pppery suddenly nominated my module for deletion. Note that had no arguments with this person in the past.  was not notified in proper (or, in fact, in any) form. Fortunately noticed the attack early enough to recover my things from Google cache and recreated it here (Lua, test case). When approached Pppery for satisfaction, he replied with a sort of polite bollocks without any glimpse of regret. Unfortunately has been unaware that the person behaving in this ignoble manner holds a position of trust here.

If the Miraheze administration won’t induce Pppery into making apologies for his past conduct—specifically, ruining other people’s work without providing a decent opportunity to save it elsewhere—then ’ll see his involvement here as a stain on the reputation of Miraheze.

Regards, Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

w:WP:AFDLIST, English Wikipedia
 * Incnis Mrsi Well, first off, that seems to me like a failure to assume good faith on the reason(s) for Pppery nominating your template for deletion at Templates for Deletion on English Wikipedia. They likely have specific criteria for nominating Lua modules and wikitext templates for deletion, and likely was nothing personal. Perhaps their response was a bit direct, but I don't see any conduct issues here, to be honest. Pppery does good work for us on Miraheze Template Wiki, in terms of de-Wikipedia-ifying templates and general template and page maintenance on that wiki, so we're very fortunate to have them. Have you tried asking the deleting Wikipedia administrator for the source code for your template to be e-mailed to you? Dmehus (talk) 17:24, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * To add to what Dmehus said, while I don't really want to get into technicalities over the term 'staff', I'd like to mention that the position of bureaucrat or administrator on Template Wiki is not seen as a "leadership" position or anything like that, similarly to Meta administrators and bureaucrats. Although we don't like using the term staff as it is confusing and not very accurate, if any positions were to be equivalated to staff it would rather be Stewards and System Administrators, but local wiki administrators, whether they're "official" wikis or not would not really qualify here. Therefore, Pppery does not represent Miraheze by helping out on Template Wiki and I don't really see how him being a bureaucrat there can stain our reputation. I don't think it would be fair to say that a English Wikipedia administrator represents every single Wikipedia. I notice that you approached Pppery via their talkpage but did not yet receive a reply, perhaps you could wait for a reply and resolve this matter with them before coming to us? Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oops… to wait for reply where? Indeed received a reply on meta.WM which deemed a miserable etiquette failure. As for “not a "leadership" position”, it’s at very least a sort of substantial answer. The position of bureaucrat on Template Wiki is not seen as a "leadership" position.
 * Let’s settle on that and shelve the dispute for a while. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:51, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * ’d prefer never to ask Fastily for anything – it’s personal. Surely could ask another sysop, or an official researcher, but it was Pppery who nearly forced me into position of a beggar. The AGF stuff by Dmehus is misleading, as Pppery’s “faith” is explicated in his meta.WM reply. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:51, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Incnis Mrsi I disagree with your assertion that Pppery "forced [you] into the position of a beggar," namely because that's the way English Wikipedia works. When deletion is the result, it cannot be undeleted without a deletion review. Deletion review would confirm the deletion outcome, so your best bet would've been to Fastily, as the deleting administrator, to ask you for the source code from the Lua module. I strongly suspect Fastily would've obliged. On your latter point, I also disagree, completely, that "not assuming good faith" is misleading. Assuming good faith is always preferable. I'm sure Reception123 will agree with that. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:59, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see a thing done wrong by Pppery. They're not required to inform someone indefinitely blocked when they request the page is deleted as you can't respond to it. Maybe think about why you were blocked and stop complaining about the impact of it. There's clearly a reason. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  18:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion. Do not notify bot accounts or people who have made only insignificant 'minor' edits. For your convenience, you may use &#123;{subst:Adw|Article title}}.
 * Not doing so isn’t a policy violation, but rude manners. Moreover, could react on my user_talk, via a proxy admin, IP sock or many other ways. How can persons not understanding these trivial things hold elevated position on this site? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:44, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

This entire thing is massively overblown. When I nominated w:Module:UCS for deletion as part of a routine patrol of rarely-used modules, I saw no need to notify the creator because they had been indefinitely blocked. This was not some attempt to attack you, or to make my deletion fly under the radar. Also note that the above incident happened after I was promoted to a bureaucrat on Miraheze Template Wiki, so Reception123 could not possibly have known about it, and I don't see why it warranted bringing up at an entirely unrelated wiki four and a half months later. Pppery (talk) 18:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)


 * It doesn't at all warrant a discussion here. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  18:20, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) First of all, I agree with Dmehus that assuming good faith in this situation is not misleading, we must assume good faith on Miraheze. It's also difficult for me to understand why someone who acted in a way that you disagree with should be stripped of their bureaucrat and sysop positions on Template Wiki where they have done nothing wrong on that particular wiki (quite the opposite); that doesn't seem fair. I also did not quite understand your reply to my assertion that the position of bureaucrat on Template Wiki is not a "leadership" one but I mention again that the position is not representative of Miraheze and I am certain most of users (and even volunteers) aren't even aware that Pppery is a bureaucrat there, as, even though it deals with templates used globally, as a "position" it does not have much bearing globally. I would like to again reiterate that I would encourage you to discuss and try to resolve this with Pppery first before coming to us and asking us to "induce" him to apologize when the whole issue that you are bringing up is something between you and him that didn't happen on Miraheze. I would find it to be quite out of place for us at Miraheze to simply get Pppery to apologize for something he did on a non-Miraheze project. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 18:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * While people from Miraheze may blame me for utterly unrelated disputes on Wikimedia Commons, why shouldn’t blame Pppery for a direct attack on my sphere of interests abroad? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:38, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with Pppery here that this was quite overblown and doesn't need this discussion here. No idea why Reception123 was even approached here, particularly since the correct venue is talk to Pppery about your concerns with respect to the deletion of the Lua module. As I said here, this was just a major failure to assume good faith here. Dmehus (talk) 18:25, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * never surmised that Reception123 could know about this particular incident; of course, checked when was Pppery promoted before posting.  am bringing it up at an entirely unrelated wiki because a resulting career obstruction may force Pppery to reconsider his manner of treating people like vermin. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:38, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Suggested donations?
Hi there! Does Miraheze have such a thing as a 'suggested donation' for services rendered like setting up custom DNS, SSL etc for Wikis and the like? Are you able to generate invoices for donations thereby 'accepted'? I realise I must sound like some kind of minimalist money launderer or something, but I'm simply trying to encourage Wiki use by small charities and community organisations. By and large they'd much rather pay a small charge for an underwritten outcome. Ftwm (talk) 09:21, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi! Unfortunately, I can't really give an exact number of a suggested donation. For the services you mention, like Custom domain set ups, they're done by volunteers who are not payed, as all donations go into infrastructure and other costs such as our domain, etc. I can however refer you to read this section on the fundraising page which may help you with your question. What I can say is that every donation (no matter how small) helps us and is appreciated! :) Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 09:42, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Having had a look on GoFundMe, £20 seems reasonable for a bit of guidance setting up FITCC’s subdomain and I’m very happy to oblige. -Mark Drayton CllrEMD (talk) 13:42, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Mark, £20 would be a very generous donation. If you do decide to make a donation, the easiest way is through PayPal, but there are also other donation methods listed at Donate, if you prefer. Dmehus (talk) 13:46, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Just a quick note, regardless of whether you decide to donate or not (though of course if you do we would really appreciate it!) we are very happy to help you with your wiki :) Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Redirect issue
Hi Reception123,

I'm having an issue with redirect from  to. It was working perfectly before, but now I get 'Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead' page.

Could you please take a look and see what's causing this issue?

Thanks, --Gil Borlin (talk) 13:23, 20 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Gil Borlin Yeah, I get the same issue. I wonder if maybe the SSL certificate needs to be regenerated as a wildcard certificate, or maybe this can be resolved by making small changes to the  and/or   files? Anyway, I'll ping Reception123 to this thread to take a look at it for you. Dmehus (talk) 15:32, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Dmehus Reception123 Redirect from  to   is working now. Thank you both! Could you also add redirect from   to  ? I'm sorry I forgot to mention that in my request. Gil Borlin (talk) 15:09, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Gil Borlin Yeah, Paladox noticed what was wrong with the  file referenced above. Sure, I think it's a wildcard certificate, so I'll try doing the PR for you. Dmehus (talk) 15:18, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

User rights
Hello Reception123, can I have the  right. Thank you! Olipino (talk) 16:25, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your request. While  can be requested, it is commonly granted by administrators to reduce the workflow of administrators and patrollers when a user's edits no longer need patrolling. Each administrator has different criteria for granting, but notably, two of the main ones are that the user should always sign their posts with four tildes  and be active in some way on Meta. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 17:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I do indeed agree that at this time it would be too early to grant you autopatrolled as you currently have less than 10 edits on Meta. If it is determined later on that your edits no longer require someone to patrol them, it will be granted. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:09, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Olipino (talk) 17:37, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Well, a single user owning and managing 300 wikis seems to me to not be possible in any imaginable way. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 19:19, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Msnhinet8 Echoing what Reception123 said, while you can certainly have wikis in other languages, as you're the only person maintaining those wikis, I would think it'd be exceedingly difficult to maintain, properly, more than a dozen wikis, so I would focus on that, as importing content from all the Wikipedias would be unmanageable. There'd be copyediting to do, fixing templates and modules, and they'd be targets for spam and vandalism. Dmehus (talk) 20:03, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I know, but I want to and miraheze cooperation, do another wikipedia have 300 languages.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 12:56, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Msnhinet8 Bear in mind, though, that if your plan is to import large numbers of pages from each of those non-English Wikipedias, Miraheze is a small not-for-profit corporation, funded entirely by donations that provide for its meagre budget. We simply wouldn't be able to accommodate hosting that many non-English Wikipedia mirrors, which would receive little if any editing. If your plan is just to create a series of empty shell non-English Wikipedias until you can get around to editing them, well, that's a lot of subdomains, and perhaps someone else would like to run a non-English Wikipedia in a certain language. I would rather see you focus on a few language Wikipedia forks initially, then do what Gyannipedia does by arranging to have a specialist in a certain language serve as the primary bureaucrat and sysop on an Internetpedia language wiki in a particular language. Dmehus (talk) 13:36, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ok, thanks I know.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 22:48, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Since you are a Romanian, I heard that Hungarians and Romanians argue with each other a lot and are rivals, but why? I am very confused. InspecterAbdel (NLW) 18:42, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Regarding this edit you made
I can understand why you reverted it, as this was on a locked user's user talk page, but like I said in this edit summary, I did state that anybody could revert it at any time if unnecessary, so maybe my edit there was kind of pointless, and won't be re-added there again. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:16, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I understand, yes. Though I do think you could be more helpful in other areas rather than revisiting such old pages and making minor changes to them. As you might imagine, doing so isn't very useful. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 20:21, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Wonderful day to you Reception123
Please in regards to the request I made on Dmehus's talk page, it has not been done please and its quite urgent Ugochimobi (talk) 12:42, 16 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Please remember that we're all volunteers here, and Miraheze services are provided 100% free. No feature request is notionally urgent. What is urgent are things that cause one or more wikis to be inaccessible or where the entire wiki farm is down. In any case, whether you request something my user talk page or Reception123's user talk page, the key thing to keep in mind is to try and keep the discussion/request together, to avoid fragmenting the discussion. Now, to your request, can you try clarify what it is you're trying to do? Your wiki is certainly not the first wiki to use the Wikibase extension, and I've not seen a request for those php variables to be configured on specific wikis, so I'm wondering why it's needed and what you're trying to do? Dmehus (talk) 13:08, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying, It's just an update to the  of FAMEData, It's supporting the Repository in bringing Knowledge Panel both on google and bing and any other search engine. As time goes on more updates might come. Ugochimobi (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you for that. That's helpful. I'm just surprised no one else has wanted that. Reception123 or I should be able to do this for you soon. Dmehus (talk) 14:02, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah all I want is the progress of every single Miraheze hosted wiki.... I want us all to be better just as every WM hosted wiki is. I await your response please and don't forget to help run a maintenance update script at once. like this
 * . Ugochimobi (talk) 14:37, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, anyone can do a pull request to . If you have a GitHub account and are quite familiar with GitHub/Git, you, too, can do this. System administrators would be the ones to merge the commit(s) on the pull request and then run that maintenance script. Dmehus (talk) 14:41, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have a github account tho, but I trust you to help me do the maintenance update ;-) Ugochimobi (talk) 14:49, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Bonjour, il existe deux methodes: vous avez le choix d'utiliser des CNAMEs (qui sont 'pointées' vers mw-lb.miraheze.org) ou de changer les 'nameservers' vers Miraheze. Vous pouvez lire la version française des instructions ici pour plus d'informations. Je ne comprends pas vraiment si vous voulez avoir 'creervotrearbredevie.fr' ou 'www.creervotrearbredevie.fr' ou les deux (un qui se réoriente vers l'autre).

Can you help me?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 01:05, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * So, you can enable this yourself in Special:ManageWiki/extensions on your wiki. If it's greyed out, you need to enable the "requires" extensions first. They will be listed. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It can use, thanks.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 01:09, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep, just go to Special:ManageWiki/extensions, locate VisualEditor under the "Editors" tab, then first enable any extensions it says it requires, then enable VisualEditor. Dmehus (talk) 01:11, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, no problem!--Msnhinet8 (talk) 01:12, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Sorry please change Exempt from Inactivity have difficult ?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 01:15, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Msnhinet8, I am waiting until the request for importation is done, so your wiki has sufficient content pages to exempt it from inactivity. Regarding your import request, if you go to this special page, locate the XML dump and verify the date on the dump, will that dump be recent enough for you, or will you require a more recent dump? If you need a more recent one, you'll need to contact Fandom by the contact page link and request a newer XML dump. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 13:36, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 14:17, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my internetpedia can not use exempt it from inactivity?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 00:08, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Why not reply me?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 01:30, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Msnhinet8 Can you please see my question above where I ask:
 * "I am waiting until the request for importation is done, so your wiki has sufficient content pages to exempt it from inactivity. Regarding your import request, if you go to this special page, locate the XML dump and verify the date on the dump, will that dump be recent enough for you, or will you require a more recent dump?

 * Ok, thanks.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 15:31, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Your reply suggests that you're not understanding, can you confirm that the XML dump here reflects the version of Fandom Internetpedia that you want to import? Dmehus (talk) 15:33, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Import miraheze internetpedia not success?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 15:36, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry my country Taiwan time is 11:38 PM, I Go to sleep.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 15:38, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Msnhinet8, it's not done yet because I need you to confirm that the Fandom XML dump from approximately 2018 is the correct version of Internetpedia you want imported. If you want pages newer than 2018, you need to request Fandom provide a newer dump for you, but if the wiki hasn't been edited since approximately 2018, then the existing dump should be fine. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:53, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * you have a email?i give you my xml file.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 15:59, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * At online User:Dmehus now?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 16:04, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have 2012-now data.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 16:05, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, if you have the XML dump you want to import. It'd be better if you upload it to WeTransfer and I'll create a Phabricator task for you. Dmehus (talk) 16:08, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * sorry, if is csv?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 16:10, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, do you mean you just have a list of pages in CSV format? If so, that won't work. You'd need to request a newer XML dump from Fandom, or go with the older version currently available above. Dmehus (talk) 16:13, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * so, how can i send my CSV format give you?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 16:16, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * email can use?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 16:17, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * What Dmehus was saying is that it's not possible to import CSV files, only XML. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 16:22, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ok, thanks.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 16:31, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I already this talk by Reception123.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 16:35, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You're not understanding, though. Do you want us to import the Fandom XML dump from 2018, or are you going to ask Fandom for a newer XML dump? Either way, I can't do the exemption to Dormancy Policy until we do your import. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:01, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I already send you my fandom account and pass, you can look my email? Msnhinet8 (talk) 17:16, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * or I give you my fandom internetpedia account and pass, you again help me think?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 17:11, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Msnhinet8, oh no, please do not do that again. I have deleted and trashed your e-mail message. Please just tell us if you want us to import this XML dump from 23 February 2018 or if you will request Fandom provide you a newer dump. If you're a  on that wiki, there should be a "send request" link to generate a new dump. If you're not, you will need to use this help page to contact Fandom and request a newer XML dump. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 17:58, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes,is true.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 18:09, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Looking at this page, it looks like you are a, so there should be a "send request" link at Special:Statistics. Dmehus (talk) 18:00, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have in my this upload xml.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 18:23, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You have look?--Msnhinet8 (talk) 18:24, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Msnhinet8, no we don't need a Miraheze wiki XML dump; we need you to generate an XML dump from Fandom here. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 18:33, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Feel very trouble, sorry I can say stop.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 18:35, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not too much trouble. Can you please just go here and click send request to generate a newer XML dump? Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 18:37, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Ok I try again.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 18:38, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Msnhinet8, looking here, nothing actually. You've ✅ everything, so I'll update the Phabricator task, and turn it over to Reception123 to run the script. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 02:12, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ok thanks. Msnhinet8 (talk) 02:14, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * So today can solve this quesation? Msnhinet8 (talk) 02:24, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've reached out to Reception123, so he should be able to do the import within the next twelve hours (or so) from now. Once it's done, I'll grant your wiki the exemption to Dormancy Policy you requested. Dmehus (talk) 02:26, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Msnhinet8, it will be done within the next twelve hours, not to worry. Reception123 is in the Central European Time Zone (UTC+1). Please be patient, and there's no need to reply to this thread; rather, just 'thank' me. Dmehus (talk) 05:35, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Msnhinet8 (talk) 06:17, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, my internetpedia no progress now. Msnhinet8 (talk) 11:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

 * or Dmehus how can I do? Msnhinet8 (talk) 11:46, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Msnhinet8, the import is still currently in progress. It can take quite awhile, as there's something like 30,000 pages being imported. Dmehus (talk) 16:21, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * ok,thanks. Msnhinet8 (talk) 23:09, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

T7397
Hi Reception123,

Just tried to go to https://worldsanskrit.net but getting a 'Server Not Found' error. Does something still need to be done by us, or is this something that's being taken care of in the background?

One more question, will the "/wiki" part get appended at the end of the URL when users simply type worldsanskrit.net into the browser address bar?

Thanks, --Haritosh (talk) 01:08, 4 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I just checked it out with no issue. Iron Sword 23 (talk) 01:13, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * https://bit.ly/34LdveN Haritosh (talk) 02:03, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It works for me. I'd advise you to try clearing yoiur cache. And yes, the /wiki part will automatically be added just like it was for the subdomain. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:33, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Preloader configuration
As mentioned at the Community noticeboard, I turned on the Preloader extension on my just-relaunched creative-venture wiki at least a day ago (as it worked successfully during its ByetHost trial run last October). But on Miraheze, Preloader requires shell access to LocalSettings.php; has no customisation options at ManageWiki; is used on the Main namespace by default (as far as I can deduce); and has been mentioned by name only once before on Meta. More or less long forgotten about, has it?

In my case, the Preloader is dedicated to setting up the skeleton for templates through, which considerably speeds up the creation process. Absent any noticeboard replies so far, I'd like to hear your comments on the matter before configuration. --Routhwick (talk) 18:01, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
