Haha. Delete the Uncyclopedias too.Haizaki (talk) 14:13, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * A user who does not have consensus from the wiki to delete it can't simply request deletion like that. If there is a problem with the wiki such as a global policy or Terms of Use violation, please report that instead so it can be investigated. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 14:25, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Checkuser Request
Can we please get a CheckUser on the All The Tropes users Mohamed Saed, Fungster and MohamedG92? We suspect the latter two to be sockpuppets used to evade a tempban on the first.

Thank you. -- Looney Toons (talk) 15:38, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Request noted, though this is now a Terms of Use issue, I’m declining this on that basis but will look into it separately shortly as a separate matter, which will be dealt with out requiring further intervention from you. John (talk) 15:54, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

한국동요위키's sitename problem
koreadongyo.miraheze.org 한국동요위키's name is broken. it's name is '한국동요위키', but because of error, it's name was broked and changed to í•œêµ­ë™ìš”ìœ„í‚¤ --Dongyomania (talk) 03:12, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

sitename of libre.miraheze.org was broked too. --Dongyomania (talk) 03:19, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You'll have to fix it with Special:ManageWiki. Should just have to replace the broken name with the intended one. -- Void  Whispers 04:40, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I hate to say this, but some issues are caused by our tech staff, and I think they are responsible for fixing them back. Why do you ask the local crats to fix them by themselves instead (which in many cases won't work because they are no longer active)?-- 05:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I have checked all the Japanese wikis to find that there are about 20 wikis with non-active crats (and not all of them are dead communities to be clear). The Japanese group is probably not the largest non-English community, and it's likely that we still have dozens of wikis suffering from a similar situation - broken names, with some of them still have their permission groups unfixed.-- 06:09, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Please delete all 73 of "Category:CGS Serge kit image" files on sdiywiki
Please would a steward delete all 73 of the files in "Category:CGS Serge kit image" from sdiywiki? -- Rob Kam (talk) 16:25, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * The wiki is currently private, I trust that the admins will make improvements to the wiki and its contents before making it public again (should they choose to do so). I'm closing this discussion as it is getting off topic and several comments here are escalating the conflict towards a ban. Please make no further replies and don't drag out this issue any further. Thanks -- Void  Whispers 22:06, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Can you at least close the wiki? The wiki is going against Miraheze's ToU, because many users have unacceptable usernames and are using racist words.--MCpillager (talk) 14:28, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ( non-steward comment ) By the looks of it, the wiki bureaucrats have already closed the wiki and are attempting to fix the issues. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 15:06, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, close the wiki! It is a troll wiki that is against the Content Policy, and for example PaladinDeGigantas said the n-word is not allowed, and there may have comments about the n word, so you might have to make a RfC about changes to the Terms of Use in order to save us from troll wikis that could potentially cause damage to the servers.

 * They also promote harrassment.--MCpillager (talk) 12:54, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm the admin of the Horrid Reception Wikis Wiki and I apologize about that major issues about it due to that wiki had numerous drama with other wikis on FANDOM Wikia. Right now, me and OldDirtyFoamer are fixing the issues as in dialing down the inflammatory and there's no reason to close down the wiki. First of all, the wiki is never racist as we had a fellow friend who is a imbecile. Second, it's never a troll or a harassment wiki as it has valid criticism. Third, you are getting on my nerves, again, and I'm sick of both of you spreading lies. It makes me want to quit the internet and find a real job than listening to mean people. Mar9122 (talk) 16:24, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Do not listen to Mar. He is just ignorant about miraheze rules and some of the users were getting harassed because of the pages that they made about them. In fact, the wiki is getting out of hands, with pages getting deleted everyday now, and even some of the members and editors are vandalising pages. What’s ironic is that Mar and OldDirty stated that no admin and none admin users should not be editing or that they will block that person, yet the editors didn’t get punished, which shows major hypocrisy. You’re an adult,! Mar, you should get a job instead of wasting your life as an admin on a corrrupt and failed wiki. - Boss999
 * The salt is too real. I now hate you, Boss. I hate you, very much, that you don't deserve my f---ing life as a basement dweller myself. Go to hell! Mar9122 (talk) 17:36, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Well I did go to hell and I came back.
 * You know what? You guys win because I'm losing my sanity. I'm going to tell OldDirtyFoamer to give up so the drama would stop. I just can't stand it, anymore. Mar9122 (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * we arent promoting trolling, like a boss is just upset we criticized him. MCP8llager, were already deleting racist stuff. This one troll keeps coming, and we keep blocking him. His username is PeetahBaxter69, and we absolutley hate him. We are keeping up HRWW, dont be salty boss.
 * I am not salty, and I can handle criticism; just not false criticism. And what I mean is criticism that is either false or misinformed. I am not wanting to delete my page only, but all of them. Mostly because the users that have pages about themselves have matured and have some false and misinformed criticism. It’s like I said, I only want the wiki to be deleted, and I will not stop unless the wiki is retired or closed.

Delete wikis
Hi, I am a former wiki creator. Can any of the sysadmins delete the wikis below? Those wikis are wikis that are closed or abandoned. Thank you. Cheers, --Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 13:02, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi
Can I create an alternative account? Now I lost the password of LegoMaster again, and since the account will and might not be used again, I have removed the email address on it. Can I create an alternative account Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 06:07, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You can create multiple accounts if you wish, as having multiple accounts itself is allowed on Miraheze (as a whole). However, I don't get your point what you are asking us for. If you don't use the account LegoMaster, you can leave it alone (even if you forgot the password).-- 10:04, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * If the use of multiple accounts are allowed, so how can Lawrence-Prairies be locked for using multiple accounts Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 14:17, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Because they use the multiple accounts to abuse/violate policies on MH Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 14:34, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

How can I see the progress of my new wiki?
Last night I requested a new wiki:MX Linux users en and it was created but only wiith the subdomain:mxlinuxusersen.miraheze.org. But I wanted it to be accessed by wiki.mxlinuxusers.org. Therefore I registered the domain, created the subdomain and point it to your site. I did also a request on Phabricator for a Let's encript certificate. So I ask: Is there a possibility to see the progress over all steps? --Peter Littmann (talk) 04:27, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You can set up your notifications on phab from your setting page there, that will allow you to recieve e-mail notification of the progress of phab tasks. In addition, your phab ticket (in this case, which is T4486) page will note every related progress and comments.-- 05:46, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * So it hangs only at phab and Let's encript now? Do they work on sundays? Whats about the link from...
 * We are all volunteers, and if our tech staffs are active, they may work on Sundays as well. The link above shows the phab ticket page of your request.-- 06:45, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ...my subdomain(I forward it to mw-lb.miraheze.org) to my Miraheze subdomain? There is also something to do or not? --Peter Littmann (talk) 06:51, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * After the setup is done, mxlinuxusersen.miraheze.org will be redirected to wiki.mxlinuxusers.org. I think you've already followed our guidelines on custom domains, but if not, please follow the process written there.-- 06:56, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I think so, its not that difficult to understand. I like to update the german translation now to follow the english one which is most actual and accurat I think. --Peter Littmann (talk) 07:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

State of my new wiki: MX Linux users en?
What happens here? Should I worry me? Or is this normal at this state? The creation was not noted in the Farmer Log and I am only a user and not a bureaucrat so no chance to change something. --Peter Littmann (talk) 12:23, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Request for exemption from the dormancy policy
Hello, we are currently working on our wiki "IKgroßeGruppenWiki" and I want to ask if our wiki could be exempted from the dormancy policy. We're gathering a pool of didactic methods that can be used in library courses. The wiki will be open for our community to add new methods but it will most likely be used primarily as a research-platform. So we can't guarantee that there will be enough changes and contributions within 60 days to prevent it from being deleted. We are very grateful for your great service! IKGroßeGruppenWiki (talk) 09:07, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ Now exempted.-- 11:09, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Please enable Interwiki for MX Linux users
I am the founder of the german MX Linux users de wiki and also the english MX Linux users en wiki. Now I like to request Interwiki enabled so that we can use the links under languages in the sidebar and hopefully placing pagename when stated on a german page also works like on the german wikipedia articles. --Peter Littmann (talk) 03:20, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Delete our wiki
I have already sent a request to delete a site to which there was no response. Stewards' noticeboard/Archive 9 But for some reason you moved my request to the archive. I repeat it again.

Please completely delete the unfinished site http://absurdopedia.miraheze.org, since it was created when the Absurdopedia's community on Wikia was looking for a place to move. None of the authors of the Absurdopedia will rule there.

About a Recent Global Lock
A few hours ago, my main account, Marseillaise, was globally locked due to "cross-wiki abuse". (This was an account I had made for testing at the Public Test Wiki.) I know I have been disruptive here at Meta, and I can understand being blocked here, even indefinitely. However, I was not disruptive at any other wikis on the Miraheze network. I mostly tested at the Public Test Wiki, with occasional edits at a few other wikis. I would really like to have my Marseillaise account unlocked so I can continue testing on the test wiki, and I won't be disruptive any more. Thank you. Legend (talk) 00:21, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I found out that you have been vandalizing our wikis mainly as an anonymous IP user. It's an obvious case of cross-wiki abuse, and thus dealt as so.-- 14:55, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Please also lock this account as a sockpuppet. - PlavorSeol (T | C) 06:23, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Import from Wikia
For Incubator Plus to function we have to import the entirety of the Wikia version (including full page history). The size of the xml dump, however, seems to be something the servers tend to dislike.

How to nominate somebody as a sysadmin?
On Tech:Timelines, it says that some sysadmins are temporary and some are permanent. How do you nominate somebody as a sysadmin? 開拓者 is the candidate. -- Cheers, Znotch</b>190711</b> (Contribs - My wiki - CA) 12:13, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * All sysadmins are permanent - there is no such thing as a temporary appointment to date. Sysadmins candidates are either asked to apply by an existing member of Operations or otherwise make their intention known via the process described on Tech:Access policy. No one else is able to nominate someone else for the role, any such nominations will be rejected summarily by a member of Operations on a basis of process. Answered in capacity as an Operations member, not a steward. John (talk) 12:54, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment, but I'm not a specialist in dealing with phab related issues, and thus would like to keep myself as it is - at least, until I become sure that I know enough about system-related stuffs. Besides, I don't even have a GitHub account.-- 18:05, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Gustave London CheckUser and Oversight in Centopédia(Farmwiki)
As the title says, I need it on my wiki.Gustave London (talk) 14:49, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * (non-steward comment) What do you need them for? Under most circumstances, CheckUser and Oversight aren't granted as permanent local rights due to the Privacy Policy, and rather a steward will handle the situation on request (by temporarily assigning the rights to themselves and then removing them when done). Amanda Catherine (talk) 14:52, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Quando não tiver stewards disponíveis.Gustave London (talk) 14:56, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Just a note that the claim that it is due to the Privacy Policy is incorrect. As Amanda said, the current way that it is done is that Stewards deal with individual cases. The only way to get CheckUser or Oversight rights on any wiki is to request here, but the same requirements as for Stewards apply. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 14:58, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

 * ❌ CentralAuth tells me that you are new, which is an enough reason to close this request. Generally speaking, we don't have any previous cases allowing local admins/crats to have CU/OS, and I think Stewards are fairly active enough to deal with cases requiring such perms.-- 15:08, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

How do i add a Infobox? i Know Barely anything about Coding on Wikis sadly.
Hi, i'm New here as i Moved from Wikia's Mass-Ad Festival to here which seems cleaner. Only Issue i have right now is Adding Infoboxes to my Wiki.
 * Hello and welcome! Please read FAQ.  (Better yet, read the entire page!)  Take care when importing code, because sometimes a template relies on other templates and you need to import them all.  You're right that it's "cleaner" to edit here than at Wikia, where they are always breaking stuff.  Templates are somewhat like subroutines in a programming language, and unfortunately, it will require learning about them, because even if you get them to work, you'll find you want to tweak them.   13:48 23-Mar-2019

About AngryBirdsFan
He said KYS again, just because i vandalised a wiki. Stewards, feel free to glob. block him. He also forced others to treat him like a king and said that he can say KYS whenever he wants to. See here 4 proof: .MCpillager (talk) 11:49, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, your statement is actually false. I clearly promised and gave him another chance that he won't say KYS or make racist statements on my watch.

MediaWiki-namespaced pages are sometimes used and sometimes not
See this page (or in other languages). Sometimes the sidebar and module-documentation notice is very simple as MediaWiki's default. If you repeat refreshing page, you will find sometimes the sidebar will display as the MediaWiki:Sidebar defined, and the documentation is also displaysed as the template defined by MediaWiki:Scribunto-doc-page-does-not-exist. It seems that it's a likelihood that things defined in the MediaWiki page are used. --SolidBlock (talk) 08:15, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Part of this happens because the messages are untranslated on the MW software. The way to avoid it is to create a localized version for each page such as MediaWiki:SIdebar/qqx. Though most wiki users don't care about other languages apart from the language they use in the community. As for modules, it's possible that the script is somehow localized and doesn't work on non-local languages.-- 14:11, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * qqx is to get its key, not an actual language. And if I uselang zh (the site language), zh-hans or zh-cn (my language), it also happens, not only qqx. And MediaWiki:Sidebar is irrelevant to languages. --SolidBlock (talk) 14:58, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

password reset / user merge
Hello, this is a newly created possibly temporary account, as I've apparently forgotten my password for my original account Crimgan, which doesn't have an email attached. If possible, I'd like to attach an email to that account so I can reset its password. Is it possible to confirm that these two accounts are connected through the same IP address? If not, I saw some other topics mention user merging. Could I request to merge these two accounts?

Sonansu (talk) 02:13, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The cases of the Italian Uncyclopedia are to merge temporary accounts on Miraheze and automatically imported accounts from Wikia. Unlike them, there's no way that you can prove that your former account was yours unless you have a committed identity and can ask sysadmins to recover your account. Even checkuser is not a valid proof for this case, as the account in question could be owned by another person who share environments with you. The only solution is to restart with your new account and just leave the old one alone.-- 14:05, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if this will be of any help in confirming, but I'm the administrator of the Dr. Mario World Wiki that this user edits on and can confirm that the account Crimgan and Sonansu are the same user. We've communicated about the Wiki since near the Wiki's inception in the /r/drmarioworld subreddit's Discord, where the subreddit moderators created a channel for editors of the Wiki to collaborate. There are also messages in the Discord all from the same user stating that he is Crimgan on July 13, messages from him a few days ago mentioning him forgetting his password + me redirecting him to the Stewards' noticeboard, and messages of him confirming his new second account is Sonansu. If this still isn't enough evidence though, then that's understandable as well. Just wanted to make this note in case if it was possible for me to help this user out.

Dormancy Policy
Hi,

I'd like to begin a new Wiki project on this site, but before I do I was wondering if it is possible to pre-emptively organise an exception to the dormancy policy, before I put the work in to setting up the ~3,500 pages?

I'd expect pages of the Wiki to be viewed every few days on average, but edits would be far less frequent with regular gaps of over a month and irregular gaps of six months between mass edits, as other contributors and I can find time to add bulk content.

Given those constraints, how likely is it that I would be granted the exception?

About the Wiki
The Wiki would include detail of all aspects of railway systems in Australia - including stations, tracks, signals, locomotives, wagons, historic, modern and miniature. The primary demographic is enthusiasts, with some general historic interest.

I've tried Fandom/Wikia and their policy enforcing a narrow site layout isn't compatible with what I need, particularly because it is incompatible with wide tables. Regular Wikipedia has proven too difficult to maintain, due to both the notability and reliability of sources policies. The former problem is solved by having my own Wiki somewhere, and the latter I intend to solve by having a master list of "Exceptions to the Wikipedia notability policy".

Inactivity Notice
Hi, I don't know if this is the right place for this request, otherwise, I leave free provision for this thread to be transferred to another page if that is required.

Until last year I was an active user like Wiki Creator, Interwiki Administrator, CVT and COCC, however, this year due to various responsibilities and projects that I started to carry out, I have not been able to allow Miraheze enough time to be able to be active and exercise the responsibilities you used to have. There is a probability that in the January-February 2020 period I may have some more free time, but unfortunately I cannot guarantee at this time that this can be achieved, less if the rest of next year can remain active.

That is why I make available to the Miraheze Staff any type of permit or access that I have until today, thanking of course the trust granted for such responsibilities both by the community and also by the Miraheze Staff that in their this moment also guided me in my first steps here.

I hope to be able to collaborate again in Miraheze at some point, for now, I think this is the best thing I can do to avoid inconveniences arising from prolonged inactivity.

Are there any wikis or websites where I can write in Markdown but publish in HTML?
I've been having trouble finding something like a webpage or wiki where I can write in markdown. I don't exactly want a blog (apparently with Wordpress you can write in Markdown). So are there any sites where I can write in Markdown, and that support images? Thanks. --Bulrush (talk) 11:54, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) http://hashify.me would work except anyone with the link can edit the source markdown.
 * 2) Gist supports images but not image captions, I'd like to have image captions.
 * 3) Pastebin doesn't support images and the resulting markdown looks bad.
 * 4) Creating an automatic Table of contents would be great but it's optional.
 * Images are always supported, you can upload them as wanted, but I think writing in Markdown on MediaWiki is managed by an extension OR not possible. --Anderlaxe (talk) 11:59, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Would I have to install an extension on my wiki so I can write in markdown? --Bulrush (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

No admins and bureaucrats on googologywiki
Hi, I am an editor at Googology Wiki. There are no active crats and admins, however there are a small amount of local users there. Because I am the only active user there, and the founder is totally inactive, can some steward or sysadmin give themselves admin, crat, check user and oversight rights? That way I can manage this wiki (file uploads are disabled there, and management is missing. Thank you.

Should I move this request to the adoption noticeboard? OwenFung87 05:03, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Stewards do not need to give bureaucrat and administrator permissions to themselves (unless somehow locally elected or themselves are the founders) because we can do the same thing on every wiki on Miraheze. Please note that we also have CVT for counter vandalism operations.

I would like to formally state that I am resigning from the Counter Vandalism Team. I joined this team with the optimistic effort of continuing my contribution to Miraheze.

It's been an honor to be on the CVT and while I originally started out with enthusiasm, that drive has sadly died out.

Implement a policy similar to WP:SNOW
It is a waste of everyone's time and quite annoying to see a large amount of Requests for Stewardship that have zero chances of passing because they are either made by new users or clearly untrustworthy users.

Issue with the redundant Forum talk namespace which hasn't been deleted properly
A few days ago, I created the forum namespace and the forum talk namespace on my wiki here. But recently I've decided to remove both namespaces because I decided they were redundant in favour of the WikiForum namespace. However, the forum talk namespace still shows up on certain parts of the wiki, and being a talk namespace, I cannot delete it directly. I can't delete it at all because I have tried doing just that by inserting the correct number namespace, but it seems that I can only delete main namespaces.

I've locked out perms accidentally
So in my wiki, https://largenumbers.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page, i was editing permissions, and deleting the default ones. I created a 'god' permission, Overseer, and forgot to assign it to myself. Then i deleted the bureaucrat permission, and now no one can edit any perms. Can you assign me Overseer/any rank that edits perms please?

A wiki is a copy of another wiki.
The wikis Toxic Fans & Haters and Sane Fans & Haters are a copy of the wiki's Toxic Fandom's & Hatedom's and Healthy Fandom's & Hatedom's, even the admins are not happy with the copy's of the wiki's because it stole their idea without permission.

It also admits it's an copy of it. I wouldn't mind if you stewards didn't take action over the copied wiki's. Don't forget that it submits copyrighted work without there permission or more specifically stealing pages from other wikis. 18:12, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

I closed my two wikis now. -- Zenko

A cyberbully problem
A user named ErtasVideos has made a horrible wiki outside of Miraheze named the Fun Shitpost wiki where he made an offensive article about me, and he and his gang won't leave me alone. They go around stalking wherever I go, and this needs to stop. I'd appreciate if you would block ErtasVideos and tell him to get rid of his awful site.


 * @Zenko I am not bullying you, on my personal site (funshitposting.ga) content is created by the people that use the site, i have no control of who does what on there as they are allowed to do anything there.


 * And you vandalized our wiki too, you could’ve easily solved it by asking me to remove it for you. —ErtasVideos (talk) 20:40, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

I will ask you to remove it, then. It's important that you remove everything you said about me for good. -- Zenko


 * ❌ As long as the issue is out of Miraheze, there's nothing we can do. Also, I couldn't find any evidence of ErtasVideos stalking you here on Miraheze, but could find a log indicating that you saying similar things to others on several different wikis (which seem to have resulted in your blocks). So unless you provide detailed evidences, it seems to me that this case is a false/invalid accusation.-- 02:56, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

If you wanted to know a more detailed evidence on why ErtasVideos harassed me and said bad things about me on Miraheze, well, he started this thread recently and an edit that paints me in the wrong light, but I closed these two "copycat" wikis that I started, so the accusation should have been put to an end. The good news is that the Fun Shitpost site has been suspended since it might be deleted for good. Maybe my words have worked after all.

I'm a bit senstive and I may consider leaving Miraheze, but I'll listen to good, helpful advice and see what I can do to become better. But I think I might be done with this site, since I can't handle the stress from being bullied and blocked several times and I feel I would be much better if I just don't post/edit ever again and find something else to do in life.-- Zenko
 * The thing is, forking a wiki already existing on Miraheze is a violation of our Content Policy. I guess the wiki creator who created the wiki didn't know well about the original wikis being on Miraheze (as s/he is from non-English community), but the request should've been turned down in the first place.-- 08:14, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Add a few interwiki links on nonciclopedia.org
Hello, I'd like to add a few new prefixes in Special:Interwiki that are not actually meant for external wikis but for our own namespaces, since we use them as they were external sites (like the many different Wikimedia projects), and typing the whole namespace or category is time-consuming. If possible, they should be like this: * nd - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nondizionario:$1 * nq - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nonquote:$1 * nv - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nonvoyage:$1 Also, I'd like an answer for above.--Wedhro (talk) 12:16, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * nb - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Manuali $1
 * nc - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Immagini $1
 * ni - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Risorse $1
 * nn - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Notizie $1
 * ns - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Testi $1
 * Um, I'm not sure. do you want to link categories or name spaces (example: Guide:Mexico or Infobox:Mexico)?


 * Anyway, ManageWiki already allows to shorten the namespace, for example you can add that the word "WP" links to the Wikipedia namespace with enter on a new line all undefined namespaces which should redirect to this one. That's the same configuration that some Wikipedias and Wikivoyages have. Doesn't that solve it? Hispano76 (talk) 14:54, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I forgot it was possibile, but it only works for namespaces. I also need shortcut links to categories that have long titles and are ordered by topic (so, for example, "Italia" in the main ns can automatically link to "Categoria:Notizie Italia" in the Nonnotizie ns, because it's full of news about Italy that all have different titles.
 * I edited out the ns I no longer need, but the other would still be very handy. (what about the default thumbnail size?)--Wedhro (talk) 15:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hmm, now that I think about it: ns redirects are typed normally (e.g. ns:Article ), while interwikis are tiped starting with a colon (e.g. ;ns:Article ), right? In such case it would be confusing for editors, so either all ns get "fake" interwikis or I'll just manually create all the redirects leading to the categories I need. Assuming they're not counted as articles eve in they're in the main ns (?)--Wedhro (talk) 15:18, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You could customize templates to use. For example the WP template with the  code would link to the article in such a name space, similar to what some templates do. Hispano76 (talk) 15:33, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll probably do something like that.--Wedhro (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
