How much storage space does Miraheze have?
Well, My wiki, Crazybloxian Empire, could get large pretty soon. How much storage space does the wiki-hosting service have? and it should be automatically enabled for all users. -- Void  Whispers 19:23, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. I have changed it and it works to a degree, however, the contents on my main page are transcluded from four different templates and the same problem is still there. The carousel works for guests on the original pages but not on transcluded pages. When logged in though the carousel then works on the transcluded pages. Is there a workaround for this? 22:26, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it works for me, both logged in and logged out, so I suspect it's a caching thing. -- Void  Whispers 23:09, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are absolutely right. The one thing I usually check is the one thing I didn't do this time....rookie mistake. All working fine now, many thanks. Regarding cache etc., did you see the message I left on your talk page about the purge button? 23:37, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, I had forgotten about that. I took a look at it and for some reason it looks like it's defined by the extension and isn't easily modified. But, I still need to confirm. -- Void  Whispers 23:41, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Wiki creator request by Centrist16
Hello everyone, I'm Centrist16 and I have been a member on Miraheze for a little more than a year now. I have spent most of my time here transitioning content and the community of Constructed Worlds Wiki from Wikia over to Miraheze at the Altverse Wiki as its founder. I have been editing and participating MediaWiki communities for nearly 10 years now, and I made the decision to migrate from Wikia to Miraheze because I found that Miraheze was much more faithful to the software and format sites such as Wikipedia currently use. I have been an active contributor there and recently I have decided to expand my scope more broadly by participating on Meta. Whenever there has been a bug or report, I have filed a report on Phabricator and I have joined Miraheze's Discord in order to connect with fellow users. I am interested in furthering the needs of Miraheze by assisting it as a wiki creator. I read that despite the growing number of wiki creators/global sysops as of late, Miraheze continues to suffer from understaffing due to various reasons (time constraints, real life commitments, etc.). If I join, I seek to uphold the role faithfully, and render help diligently to new users who are interested in using Miraheze's services. I have read and familiarized myself with the wiki creator's guide. &#32;  centrist16 | Talk |  |   &#32; 01:33, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Image error message
When creating new pages in the proofread extension the image of a page is supposed to visible side by side with the text to be transcribed/edited, however, at the moment the images appear a bit hit and miss. Some appear and others don't, and this is the error message in place of the image:

What does this mean? When saving the page some images then appear, but others still don't until I leave the page then go back to it later. It's not a major problem at the moment but the images should always be visible regardless of whether it's a new page or an existing one. If the image isn't available at the time I would like to edit the text, this is going to be a problem. As always, suggestions/help appreciated. Thanks. 08:39, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, we have located where the problem is and why it was intermittent. We were missing a package which was installed on one of the mw* where the others did not have it. Resolved in https://github.com/miraheze/puppet/commit/6cd7ec7f6c0553eaf70469f3c141bb1c3ab190d7 Paladox (talk) 13:05, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * All working now, thanks for sorting it out, appreciate the help. 20:58, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * /me thanks for him spotting the actual error. Paladox (talk) 21:01, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Internal error and fatal exception
Has anyone else encountered this? Right at the end of proofreading a page when saving I started getting a lot of internal errors with the following message:

and also:

Refreshing a page sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Is there some work being carried out? 22:08, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, we have fixed the problem. We re ran LC. Also please include the wiki which is having the problem in the future :) Paladox (talk) 00:14, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It also happened at Usopedia at around 8 am this morning (JST). However, I guess it's already fixed according to your report, and it seems to be working fine for now.-- 03:02, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for sorting that out. I have two wikis and I'm only working on one of them at the moment, thegreatwar wiki, So all my queries etc. will be associated with that wiki. But if I remember at the time I will include which wiki for clarification. Cheers. 07:48, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Wiki URL change request
Hey! I wanted to know if it's possible to change the "adventuretime" in to "digimon" in the adventuretimewiki's URL given a change in focus. If it is, then I would like for it to not redirect to our new url if possible. Here's the URL to the wiki I'm talking about
 *  https://adventuretime.miraheze.org  (I just want  https://adventuretime  replaced with  https://digimon  if it's doable)

Thanks in advanced!-Jordan D (talk) 07:57, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Moved from SN Yes, that is possible. Would you be able to request that on Phabricator to facilitate tracking? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 08:03, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That would be nice, yes. Thanks. Sorry for replying so late, I didn't see this.

I am short of hands
I do not have enough hands. What should I do?--ウソつき (talk) 05:35, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * So you mean, you're too busy working on your wiki? One way is to find someone who can work as admin/BC there (I can, if you wish).-- 06:00, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

error
When opening usar: talk of my wiki, the screen "[4ce93e5b3f1e5921d3bb3f8d] 2018-08-02 08: 51: 35: Fatal exception of type MWUnknownContentModelException" is displayed. What should I do?--ウソつき (talk) 09:01, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Please give a link to the page for us to be able to help. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 09:03, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, it is this. We will look into it. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 09:10, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅. It was because you enabled but then disabled Flow. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 09:15, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * How can I deal with it?--ウソつき (talk) 09:22, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * You don't have to do anything related to it anymore. Please just try to be careful when you turn on mw:Extension:Flow when you create your next wiki.-- 09:29, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
