How to enable side preview?
I would like to enable the small preview button on the top right of WikiEditor on my wiki:



How can I do this? 09:36, 18 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Found it, it was hidden but I accessed the WikiEditor extension settings. Open Special:ManageWiki/settings and check the Editing tab. Turned on the Realtime Preview beta feature.  15:14, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

How do i use Quiz extension?
I do not know how to use the Quiz extension on Miraheze. I need it for my wiki since my wiki heavily depends on quizzes, but i have no clue how to use them. Can someone give me an explanation on how to add questions, mark answers as correct or incorrect, and any other features. Zhongwen (talk) 18:41, 23 April 2023 (UTC)


 * You must use the manage extensions tab on your wiki to install the social profile and quiz game extension. More information here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuizGame. Globe - (Talk • Contributions • CA) 14:26, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Bug for DISPLAYTITLE and ShortDescription
Hi, I have a bug regarding DISPLAYTITLE and ShortDescription.

This is because the display title is not displayed and the short description is not displayed either. The template concerned:

 * Don't worry, it's not a bug; I get this all the time. The forced category says that it has an "ignored display title". That is because for some reason pages will only do DisplyTitle if the title matches the page name. Although I don't know how to fix it, I hope this helps!

 * Actually on bda.miraheze.org, I use numbers as a page name and force a display name...ValRaimond (talk) 16:51, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't know what to do then. Try not using numbers for page names? Commetia/Kazakhar (talk/Contact) 16:56, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Except I use numbers to use the same page name for multiple pages...ValRaimond (talk) 17:00, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, then I don't know what to do. I hope someone else can help you! Commetia/Kazakhar (talk/Contact) 17:03, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks you!ValRaimond (talk) 17:06, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

No link in a navigation (Extension:StructuredNavigation)
How do I remove links that appear in navigation (Extension:StructuredNavigation)? ValRaimond (talk) 19:04, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Which wiki is this regarding? If you're referring to bda.miraheze.org, I don't see the StructuredNavigation extension enabled on that wiki, if it were, it would appear in bda.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Version. Are you perhaps referring to the regular MediaWiki navigation, located at: bda.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar? If so, then this page may be helpful. | -- FrozenPlum   22:21, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It is indeed bda.miraheze.org, I had activated it to test but since the links appear while I do not want them to appear...

DiscussionTools
This may seem like a stupid question, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.

On landarwiki, I enabled the DiscussionTools extension because I would like to use the reply tool, however I do not like the new design with the additional information and whitespace and lack of brackets. I cannot find any documentation on how to use the old design. For example: the 'old design' is used on this page. Please help. Bbbtest (talk | contribs | e-mail) 23:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Infobox Help
How do you move text next to an infobox rather than on top of it? I'm typing long paragraphs of text and it's moving the infobox down the screen Danny0800 (talk) 21:53, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I have closed the infobox which should fix the problem - PercyUK (talk) 22:18, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * a) Infobox should have  in its CSS to appear on the right side of the page and let other nearby content to appear on the left from it
 * b) Write text after infobox and it'll format beside it - if CSS is correct per a)
 * If you are aiming for what Wikipedia has - first paragraph appears before infobox in mobile version, that's achieved only by their overcomplicated infoboxes; I achieved similar effect w/ other infobox types but it requires some additional hoops in both template and styling.

Deletion Request: Terrapedia (terrapedia.miraheze.org)
I do not know why, but after reseting Terrapedia (my wiki) it doesn't work anymore, so i decided that i want to delete it (please take place that i am a beginner, thanks) Gabe the cat (talk) 06:51, 1 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Wiki deletion requests should be made on Stewards' noticeboard, however the fact that you get such error isn't okay and should be investigated (either here or on Phabricator; don't delete your post here).
 * How the reset was done exactly tho, by Miraheze steward/admin?
 * KatozzKita (talk) 10:14, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This should be reported through Phabricator along with whatever you were doing to result in this. A Steward could action it, but a steward cannot drop a database to allow you to recreate it despite deleting it unless they are also an SRE member and able to troubleshoot how the wiki ended up like this, so it would be simpler just to go through SRE in the first place. --Raidarr (talk) 12:15, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Online Users
Hello! Is there any way you could see the users that are online? Not the active users that have made edits in the most recent days. (depending on Manage Wiki settings) But the users that are currently online, who have the Miraheze Wiki pulled up? Oh, and also not with Manage Wiki, because I am not a bureaucrat on the Wiki.
