ManageWiki/nl

ManageWiki is a MediaWiki extension developed for Miraheze that allows wiki administrators, bureaucrats, or local founder to easily modify their wikis settings. They are able to do basic things such as changing the logo, enable extensions like VisualEditor or Flow, create user groups and customize every action a given group of users can (not) do, among other things.

Access
By default, Bureaucrats have the ability to access Special:ManageWiki, however, any user with the managewiki permission will be able to access the page.

Core settings



 * Database name - The first option in ManageWiki is the database name of your wiki. This is the same as the subdomain (*.miraheze.org) of the wiki when it was first requested except it has the suffix wiki.


 * Sitename - The second option is the name of your wiki. This is generally a short word or phrase that sums up the purpose or subject of your wiki. It is also the name of an entire namespace in your wiki, generalized as being the . For example, on this wiki (Meta), the project namespace can be reached by linking to either About or Project:About.


 * Private - The Private checkbox modifies the visibility of your wiki. Any wiki with this feature enabled can only be read by users in the administrator or user groups.


 * Closed/Inactive - The Closed and Inactive checkboxes are enabled automatically when the wiki begins fulfilling the requirements of the Dormancy Policy. If either of these is selected on your wiki, and you wish to continue the project, you can disable them and continue contributing. Please note that it is not possible to contribute on a Closed wiki.


 * Language - The third option is for language and it should be whatever language your wiki is supposed to be read in. It will change the language of the interface to the selected language for all users, however it can be changed through user's preferences. If your wiki is not turning up in the language you selected, please first check to make sure that you don't have any other language selected in preferences, then file a bug report on Phabricator.


 * Category - After those is the option for category. This option allows you to put your wiki into a category of your choosing that will allow users to more easily find your wiki through WikiDiscover. If your wiki doesn not fit into any of the supplied categories, feel free to make a request for a new one on Phabricator.

Anti Spam

 * AbuseFilter Actions - The possible actions that can be taken by abuse filters. When adding a new action, check if it is restricted in $wgAbuseFilterRestrictions and, if it is, don't forget to add the abusefilter-modify-restricted right to the appropriate user groups.


 * Autoblock Expiry - The number of seconds before autoblock entries expire.


 * Allows blocking users to restrict talk page access - If checked, this will add a "Editing their own talk page" checkbox on Special:Block when blocking users.

Beta
Enable Echo Cross Wiki Beta Feature - If checked, this will allow users to receive notifications from other wikis.

Parser Functions

 * Allow slow parser functions - Parser functions are "magic words" that return a value or function, such as time, site details or page names. Example:  outputs  - the current page. Read more here.


 * Enable string function functionality - This option adds support a couple of functions for basic string handling. Example:  function returns the position of a given search term within the string. You can learn more in Mediawiki's documentation page.

Styling

 * Default Skin - This change the visual interface to the selected skin for all users, however it can be changed through user's preferences.


 * Favicon - A favicon is a shortcut image that is displayed on your visitor's browser address bar and in the bookmarks page. Most often it is a smaller version of the logo. See below how you can add one.


 * Timezone - This will adapt your wikis clock to whatever timezone you choose for all users, however it can be changed through user's preferences.


 * Logo - This will replace Miraheze's default logo. See below how you can change it.

If you would like to release the contributions on your wiki under another license, please let us know so that we can make it available to you. Be aware that changing the license on your wiki can have an impact on your community and should not be done lightly. For more information, go to https://freedomdefined.org/Licenses.

Media



 * Enable File Uploads - Check or uncheck this option if you want to enable or disable the upload of files on your wiki.


 * Enable File Uploads Through URL - By default, Miraheze enables file upload only from a local media but with this option you can upload files remotely from other sites.

 * Enable Wikimedia Commons Files - This option allows you to use the Wikimedia Commons file database on your wiki.


 * Show Old Thumbnails On Description Page - Whether should old thumbnails be displayed on the image's detail page

Extensions & Skins


Special:ManageWiki/extensions lists all extensions and skins that we currently have enabled for use on Miraheze. To enable or disable an extension or skin, simply check or uncheck the box next to its name and remember to save your changes.

Each extension name currently links to the extension documentation page on mediawiki.org, which should prove useful for finding general help specific to whatever extension you are working with. If any link does not work, please let us know so that we may fix it.

Some extensions have an icon next to their names meaning that there is additional information that you should be aware of before enabling this extension. Several of these extensions may require additional work in order to enable them and will require sysadmin assistance. Other extensions are simply not compatible with each other and will break your wikis functionality if enabled together. Don't worry though, the software will reject your changes if you enable two conflicting extensions.

Skins
An up-to-date list of skins can be found here.

Extensions or skins not listed
If you would like to enable other extensions or skins on your wiki that you don't see on the list, please request a feature.

Group management and permissions


ManageWiki/permissions lists all existing groups on your wiki and all permissions that can be granted or revoked for all members of a certain group. You can also create a new group of users or reset all settings to default.

Namespaces
You can manage your wiki's namespaces from Special:ManageWiki/namespaces.

Editing Existing Namespaces
If you would like to edit an existing namespace, please go to Special:ManageWiki/namespaces and select the namespace from the dropdown on that page.

Een nieuwe naamruimte creëren

How do I change my logo/favicon?
To change the logo and favicon of your wiki, you need to go to Special:ManageWiki/settings and look for  under the Styling section. If you want to change the favicon or icon shown for Apple mobile devices, you need to look for  or   depending on your needs in the same section. You need to add a specific URL to the textbox below the option. This URL will always be in the form of, where X is a stand-in character for something that will be different depending on the file. To get this URL, follow these simple steps:


 * 1) Upload the logo, if you have not already. Once the upload is completed, you'll be redirected to your image.
 * 2) Right click on the image and select an option to "Copy Image Location" or drag and drop the image into a new tab on your browser.
 * 3) Copy the URL of the current page (do not use http unless it's the only protocol supported. Always use https where possible.)

Once you are done, make sure to clear the cache in your browser in order to see the updated image. Please be aware that the change may not be immediate, and can take several minutes to go through. Please also be aware that Apple mobile devices do not support all image file formats.
