Can't access my wiki without resetting password each time
Hi.

I'm new to wiki's and it might be that I'm doing something wrong. Every time I, and my other members, try to access our wiki (https://pifusas.miraheze.org/wiki/Forside) we need to reset our passwords to be able to enter. The system does not accept our newly created passwords as we submit them if we revisit after browser has been closed.

Regards Sindre (talk)

"Hi, I am also new at Miraheze and I have a very similar problem. I have been granted a new private wiki (Thank you, Miraheze). I am not able to use the newly created password, even if I just log out and try logging back without closing the window. It accepts the password, but does not login, it just says something like I do not have rights to read. I have checked cookies, they are enabled. I have tried to erase them, no success."

EDIT: Is there any solution please? Thank you Regards Adamk (talk)
 * : does this still occur? We fixed this problem a few days ago, so hopefully this does not happen anymore. Southparkfan (talk) 14:49, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * : True, it's working now! Thanks a lot! Adamk (talk) 16:12, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Mail from Miraheze in Gmail spamfolder
When received mail from the Miraheze server it's delivered in the spam folder at Google Gmail servers. I reported this before at IRC and it was fixed for a while, but goes wrong again.

A copy/paste of the mail header below. When looking to that it looks like SPF is not working optimal since the status is neutral instead of permitted. I also suggest to look at http://mxtoolbox.com/domain/miraheze.org/ as well for advise, which suggest to add dmarc and optimize 3 DNS settings. And take a look at https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/check?domain=miraheze.org which suggest to add DKIM --- Mail header ---

 * Was the SPF still denied by miraheze.org? I do not have this error at all with Outlook. Southparkfan (talk) 17:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The SPF is not authorative. Like an agent, it neither confirms nor denys. John (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm going to work on this today and in the future as a continuation project as the mail setup is my area here. I have already added DKIM recently. John (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I've done a bit of work on this, the SPF record accepts our emails and the DKIM set up seems valid. There should no longer be any issues with this hopefully. John (talk) 16:56, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that I receive an e-mail today in my Google inbox folder instead of the spam folder. Great job, thanks! --Jurjendevries (talk) 10:18, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Constant error
There seems to be a error when I click on links that is similar to the below:

[811d20be] 2016-02-02 00:07:52: Fatal exception of type MWException

Note: the error message doesn't actually appear blue.

I really don't like it, and it is seemingly effecting  all  Miraheze wikis. Could you please fix this? Lemondoge T C GC 00:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

My users and I are getting this error too. It seems if I refresh multiple times, I'll actually be able to see the page, but doing that while editing is extremely annoying. Rikki21 (talk) 04:54, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

display:inline-block not working correctly for Chrome
I'm unsure where to ask this, but as the inline-block command works on Chrome from other websites I am assuming it's a wiki issue? This is what I'm working on. It displays correctly in Firefox and IE, but not Chrome. Does anyone happen to know why? Rikki21 (talk) 00:19, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, It might just be a chrome error, try using Explorer/Firefox. SleepyMode  10:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Several pbs on wiki "ggdr"
Hi, I have 3 problems on the wiki "ggdr" (http://ggdr.miraheze.org) !

Error code: 1 What's the matter? Babskwal (talk) 10:43, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * on the home page (only: it works normally on all the other pages), "HTTP 500 error"; why that and only on the home page ???
 * when the users try to connect to ggdr, they can't, and have to make as if they had forgotten their password, change it and then connect... ?
 * the first time I inserted files, it has worked correctly; but since the last week, instead of the image, it displays
 * Seems fixed to me?
 * I don't understand it?
 * I don't know why this fails, but replacing the "é" with an "e" (when either uploading or renaming) seems to fix the issue for me. I'll investigate why special characters fail. Southparkfan (talk) 11:58, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 1. OK, thanx !
 * 2. When I try to connect with my password, I get :

Vous ne pouvez pas lire cette page, pour la raison suivante : L’action que vous essayez de réaliser n’est permise qu’aux utilisateurs d'un des groupes : Administrateurs, member.
 * The only solution I found is to ask for a new password...
 * 3. If renaming can fix the pb, I can always use "e" instead of "é" ! Babskwal (talk) 13:33, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Problem again... :(
 * Fixed avoiding the "é". Babskwal (talk) 10:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I think this is a known issue with foreign-language wikis? As a logged in steward, when I navigate to the wiki I get a permission error. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * PS: I get 504 gateway timeouts trying to load the main page. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Points 1&3 fixed (new main page without parser functions). Don't know for #2 : the only solution I've found to avoid this permission error is ask to change ther password... Babskwal (talk) 11:00, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Babskwal: I hope to fix that login error soon. A workaround is to let your users login on this wiki, Meta. Any wiki with a .miraheze.org subdomain is in our (technical) control, so it's safe to login. Southparkfan (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey guys. First I want to thank you for the new wiki, cybercrime.miraheze.org. I have been having an issue:

I have been able to add two people to administer the wiki (I have it protected). There is another user I need to add to it. I type this username verbatim into the search in special:userrights but nothing comes up.

Any suggestions? The user I am trying to add is Njfazz and our wiki is cybercrime.miraheze.com.

He says he has confirmed his email (which is what allowed me to add the other two admins).

Thanks again!

Visual Editor error
Hi. I was able to use the visual editor until recently, when it keeps giving me a 401 parsoid error whenever I try to edit a page on my wikis (hobbies.miraheze.org & biblicalwiki.miraheze.org). I am able to use it at meta.miraheze.org though. Your assistance is much appreciated!
 * A Parsoid server error? Looking after it. SleepyMode  18:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It appears both wikis are registered by the parsoid server, also, It seems to work on every other wiki. SleepyMode  18:18, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe the issue is persistent among private wikis and really is a design factor of MediaWiki and VisualEditor unfortunately. I'll take a look at how it interacts with unreadable APIs. John (talk) 18:34, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I was able to use Visual Editor on my private wiki for a few weeks. It started to give me the 401 error recently. Not sure if this helps, but under VisualEditor's troubleshooting section at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor, it states:
 * parsoidserver-http-bad-status : 401
 * Caused by read or edit restrictions. If you've set up a private wiki and don't want to use cookie forwarding, you can explicitly remove restrictions for Parsoid by IP address. -- Cat (talk) 21:16, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * we were already using that, but because we use external Parsoid servers (and we have IPv6 stuff), we had to add "::ffff:" to our Parsoid IPs. VisualEditor should work now. Southparkfan (talk) 13:01, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it's working now :). Is it possible to upgrade to the latest version? Here's the git. Cheers, Cat (talk)

Development wiki Dormancy policy Exception
Hello there, I think you should look at that. Recently, I got some medical "Distrubances", and.. I can't work on my wiki, As I won't be here for a long while too, I'm not sure anyone can mainitance the wiki as the staff of it are busy in other things. SleepyMode 15:18, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Dormancy exception granted, at least temporarily. I'm not sure it will even be needed as I'll try to make occasional edits. I don't know what's going on but I hope you're okay. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:41, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, I will live if it cheers you up ;). -- SleepyMode 18:19, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

JS error on allthetropeswiki
A few site features are broken in ATTland. I suspect it has something to do with this error occurring before gadget loading:

Oh, and this error only seems to happen when logged-in. Any ideas? Vorticity (talk) 09:30, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The cause of this bug was the VectorBeta extension. The compact personal toolbar depends on the EventLogging extension (which is not useful to install at Miraheze, because we don't use such logging), and is impossible to disable (this also explains why this only happens when logged-in). An upstream bug report exists, but is not being handled (VectorBeta is an unmaintaned extension). Southparkfan (talk) 13:42, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Delete WikiACA
Hello, I'd like you to delete WikiACA.

 * The wiki seems relatively unused so we *do* delete wiki if the request comes from a logged in bureaucrat of said wiki. John (talk) 07:52, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * In conclusion, the request remains as the bureaucrat (User:CFCM) of the wiki has not requested this, and we cannot take requests from a random IP address that could be anyone. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 15:14, 7 March 2016 (UTC) Please delete my Wiki. Appreciated --

Impossible to create account
Hello,

I've been trying to create an account for a friend after he was having some problems with the CAPTCHA. However, both of the names seem to be 'already taken', which I find unusual, as while I could understand that a one-letter name might be taken, I cannot understand why this other name would be taken.

Could someone please help me as a result?

 * Which names did you try to use? SleepyMode (talk) 14:43, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Would it be possible for an account to be created under that name? AGrayCat (talk) 09:34, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Cannot create account of friend for private wiki
Hello.

When I try to create an account for a friend in my private wiki (seldir.miraheze.org) it first give me an error saying "Couldn't verify account" then when I try again "User already exists" even though it doesn't appear in the wiki's user list, nor does it appear on meta's user list. It is also supposed to send a mail with a temporary password to my friend, but no email is send.

When trying to create his account himself, my friend have the same problem (even with a different name). The correct name of the account was supposed to be "Majorsimon".

Thanks in advance for your help.

Noudeulle (talk) 14:46, 12 March 2016 (UTC) Sorry you are experiencing these issues. We are aware and are trying to fix it, but it seems to be a Mediawiki bug. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 15:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Trying to create the account gave the same error (and an additional Bad Gateway error). Am I doing it wrong ? I create the account from the private wiki, should I do it from meta instead ? Noudeulle (talk) 16:22, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

admin rights

Custom domain captcha
Hello,

There appears to be an error when it comes to editing a custom domain wiki when it requires a captcha, as well as any other features that require a captcha.

Could this be resolved so IP addresses can edit, and when the current account-creation problem is fixed, accounts can be created? Otherwise, for the time being it seems almost impossible to edit the wiki outside of requesting an account to be created on the IRC.

AGrayCat (talk) 18:06, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

(Also, NoTitle seems to not be working?)

(Also, is there an E.T.A on when account creation will be fixed?)

Resetting the password of an account
Hello,

A temporary password was created for the account 'O'. Unfortunately, I have misplaced the password, so would it be possible to send a new password to this accounts email?

AGrayCat (talk) 18:06, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * You can use Special:PasswordReset. John (talk) 20:24, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Unless hijacking accounts is extremely easy, O does not have an email and therefore cannot be recovered normally. AGrayCat (talk) 09:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Doing so is really bad for security reasons so as the account has few meaningful edits on one wiki, I've renamed the account to "O~old" and you can re-create an account at O. With no valid email, manually resetting an accounts password without 100% knowledge the requester is the account owner is really bad security practise and since there is no way to know here, moving the account off the usermame is best. John (talk) 15:33, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * As I have mentioned previously, and as I have brought to light to SleepyMode, it is currently impossible to create accounts. I'm on the IRC right now, would it be possible to create a new O account, as it is currently impossible for one to create an account through the 'normal' process. Also, is there any specific person I should contact about the problems I listed in my question lodged above? AGrayCat (talk) 18:12, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm unsure of the issue you're experiencing at the moment. I was aware of Captcha issues in the past but the captcha seems to be working fine on the wiki. John (talk) 18:37, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Possible ETA on the account creation being fixed? NoTitle still isn't working. Did you disable the captcha on the universebuild.com wiki by any chance in order to fix it? If not, would it be possible to disable it? AGrayCat (talk) 20:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The account creation issue should be fixed in theory. I'm unsure about NoTitle, to my knowledge it is an un maintained extension and so it's not really expected to fully work with MediaWiki. Captcha is not disabled and will not be disabled, it's working fine on the wiki. John (talk) 20:42, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Are there any replacements for NoTitle at the moment? EDIT: O seems to have been taken? The bug seems to be active here, should I talk to SPF on the IRC? AGrayCat (talk) 10:16, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't believe so besides using CSS. And with the account, I've told SPF about this specific case. John (talk) 19:37, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Is there someone to contact for help with that CSS feature? Thank you for the help. AGrayCat (talk) 20:42, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Private Wiki?
I'm not certain if this is the correct place to ask this, or if it should be in the Administrators' board, or maybe in feature requests... I apologize in advance if this should be elsewhere. That being said:

I recently had a wiki created (GeoData) and the initial request was for a private wiki. But I am able to access it (and also edit any page I haven't specifically protected) even when not logged in.

Did something not get set up correctly, or am I misunderstanding the term "private wiki" as used here on Miraheze? If the former, could I please get that fixed? Thanks! Millernt83 (talk) 18:38, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, the wiki is private already. Only logged in users with the group right read (members and above) are able to read the wiki and anyone with read can edit it. John (talk) 20:01, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Ahh, I get it. It's private except for the main page. I simply hadn't gotten around to creating any other pages yet and was only testing with the one. My bad. Thanks!! Millernt83 (talk) 03:56, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Keep my rights please
I'm in need to leave for a while, and I would be glad if you keep my rights, I'm really busy. SleepyMode (talk) 15:35, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The best thing is to self-hand them in while you're away as it allows better judgement of who is actually around and allows judgement of workload better. Plus there's s history of a fair amount of wiki requests going unhandled so I'm looking at changes in that respect internally. John (talk) 15:47, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Help starting
Dear administrators! First of all, thank you for creating this lovely community-based wiki!

We are very new in using this tool: On February 12th, I requested the wiki domain integrationmnw.miraheze.org

It was kindly approved to me by Southparkfan

Now, when I go to my domain, it tells me the wiki does not exist. What am I doing wrong?

Here are the details:

Host: integrationmnw.miraheze.org 	Visitor IP: ::ffff:94.134.213.61 Request URL: /wiki/ 	Timestamp: 2016-03-17 15:49:23

 * Hi, I've just looked and while the request was marked as approved, I don't see any evidence the wiki was created. I've just gone a head and made the wiki at the url you stated and it works now. Apologies for this, John (talk) 16:12, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks John, for your quick help! You saved my life -- my boss will be happy with me tomorrow. :) Great people here at Miraheze.

Error
I keep on getting a error like this:

503 Backend fetch failed
Our servers are having problems at the moment. Please try again in a few minutes.

Please provide the details below if you report this error to the system administrators:

 * I hope this is the right place to report this - the Stewards' Noticeboard appears to be about wiki creation and deletion only, and I don't see a "help desk" or "report errors" board. --Robkelk (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * i can confirm this when trying to change my preferences. additionally happened when i was creating an account, both caused some sort of database error. Nerfie (talk) 23:11, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * known issue. SN is mostly the place to report this, as there's not a "system administrators' noticeboard"
 * Administrators' noticeboard is only for things relevant to Meta sysops
