ManageWiki/it

ManageWiki is a MediaWiki extension developed for Miraheze that allows wiki administrators, bureaucrats, or the 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 StructuredDiscussions, create user groups and customize every action a given group of users can (not) do, among other things.

Accesso
Founders should see the settings from the start, and all bureaucrats have the ability to access Special:ManageWiki. However, any user with the managewiki permission can also access the settings. It is divided in five major sections:
 *  Core settings  (Special:ManageWiki/core) - Basic settings for your wiki like the name, language and category.
 *  Extensions (and skins)  (Special:ManageWiki/extensions) - Enable or disable extensions and skins on your wiki.
 *  Namespaces  (Special:ManageWiki/namespaces) - Manage, create and delete namespaces on your wiki.
 *  Permissions  (Special:ManageWiki/permissions) - Assign, manage, create and delete permissions on your wiki.
 *  Additional settings  (Special:ManageWiki/settings) - Change all other aspects of your wiki, such as the logo, licensing, defaults, along with tweaking extensions.

There is also a sixth option under the Administration tab reading "Manage/Download this wiki's dump". For more information on it, see Backups.



To access ManageWiki, simply click the links on the sidebar or visit Special:SpecialPages and scroll to the Wiki Management section. You can also access them manually by visiting the corresponding special page:,  , Special:ManageWiki/permissions ,  , or. You can type these pages into the search bar to navigate to them. For more information on these pages and what they do, click on the links above. If this doesn't work, you can try asking for help in the Community noticeboard and a volunteer will gladly assist you.



Some skins may hide the Administration tab on the sidebar. If this happens, you can force them to display by going to Special:Preferences -> Appearance -> Force the display of ManageWiki links in the sidebar. If this doesn't work, you can always navigate to them manually as described in the previous section.

Core settings
The following settings are available under Special:ManageWiki/core on your wiki:


 * 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 Meta:About or Project:About.
 * 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 also 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 your user preferences, then file a bug report on Phabricator.
 * 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 member groups.
 * Closed/Inactive - The Closed and Inactive checkboxes are enabled automatically when the wiki begins fulfilling the requirements of the Dormancy Policy. You can also manually toggle them. 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.
 * Exempt from Inactivity - The Exempt from Inactivity checkbox is enabled for wikis that are meet the requirements for exemption from the Dormancy Policy. This checkbox may not be toggled manually. If you wish to request exemption from the Dormancy Policy, see the aforementioned page.
 * Server Name - The Server Name box is used in wikis with a custom domain to indicate the domain name which the wiki should use. This box cannot be changed manually. If you desire to have a custom domain, see the aforementioned article.
 * *Categoria - Segue l'opzione per la categoria. Quest'opzione ti consente di inserire la tua wiki in una categoria di tua scelta che consentirà agli utenti di trovare più facilmente la tua wiki tramite WikiDiscover. Se la tua wiki non si adatta in alcuna delle categorie fornite, sentiti libero di richiederne una nuova su Phabricator.
 * Database Cluster - The Database Cluster box is purely technical and has no value for the average user. This box displays which database server your wiki is hosted on.

Additional settings
Special:ManageWiki/settings offers additional settings that you can tweak. From the logo to Abuse Filter actions, you can modify a lot in ManageWiki. For information on each indiviual setting in ManageWiki, look under the setting name for the short description or click the link to read more about the setting on MediaWiki.org

Estensioni e skin


Special:ManageWiki/extensions lets you enable or disable any extension currently offered by 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 and also has a short description under them. The documentation can help you learn more about the extension and help you tweak it to your liking. If any link does not work, please let us know by filing a Phabricator task, asking on the Community noticeboard or telling us directly on Discord or IRC so that we can fix it.

Some extensions may appear greyed out and may say. These extensions may require additional work in order to enable them and will require sysadmin assistance.

Other extensions may read  and may be greyed out too. This means that you need to enable the extension that is required before you can enable that extension. You may need to first enable the extension and submit the change before the box appears normal.

Some extensions are simply not compatible with each other and will break your wikis functionality if enabled together. In these cases, ManageWiki will display. Do not worry though, the software will reject your changes if you try to enable two conflicting extensions.

Skins currently available on Miraheze
An up-to-date list of skins currently provided by Miraheze can be found here.

Do not see an extension/skin 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.

Namespaces
Special:ManageWiki/namespaces allows you to manage, create and delete namespaces. Namespaces are a way of grouping pages together (e.g. pages starting in MyWiki: are part of the MyWiki namespace). See MediaWiki's namespace page for a better explanation.

On Miraheze, 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.

Creating a New Namespace
If you would like to create a new namespace, you can also do so using Special:ManageWiki/namespaces. Please type the name of the namespace you want to create in the textbox under the section "Create new namespace" and click "Create Namespace".

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. For example, you can allow certain users to import pages to your wiki or prevent others from uploading images, etc. You can also create a new group of users or reset all settings to default.

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.

How can I backup my ManageWiki settings?
ManageWiki settings can be backed up in the same way that your wiki is, by using Special:DataDump.
