how to fix error?
Hello! When I did the Template "Website" I got the error "Error Lua in Module: Wikidata on line 186: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value)." I think I need to enable the "Wikibase (client)" extension for the template to work. If I think correctly, how can I turn it on? Wiki — frog.miraheze.org	Kwack (talk)

Can't find certain extensions on ManageWiki.
I was trying to implement the HotCat extension on AYTW, but I can't seem to find it. Could you please help me on this?

 * HotCat is a gadget, not an extension. Please see Gadgets/HotCat for more info. If you need help installing it, please let me know. -- Void  Whispers 21:46, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, so how do I install it?

Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 23:20, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Copy the contents of MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat, MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js, and MediaWiki:Gadget-Hotcatcheck.js to your wiki (1, 2, and 3 respectively). Then add the following line to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition:

* HotCat[ResourceLoader|rights=edit|default]|HotCat.js|Hotcatcheck.js

How to make navbox visible in mobile view
See my sandbox. The navboxes, including div with class "navbox" don't display at all in mobile view. If you open your F12 tool, you may even find the elements not loaded at all. I want to make them visible even in mobile view.--SolidBlock (talk) 14:48, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

How do I make it so that all edits have to be reviewed?
My wiki was recently vandalized, and I want to prevent this from happening. So how do I make it so that all edits from normal users have to be reviewed?

 * But please consider the trade-offs. Your users won't see their edits on the page until they are moderated, and may become less enthusiastic about contributing.


 * Vandalism is redressed globally by the CVT as well as local Admins. The "patrol" feature can help local Admins focus on edits from non-trusted users that a trusted user has not yet reviewed.  The Abuse Filter can block vandalism and vandals automatically if it follows a pattern.   01:30 23-Sep-2019

Interlanguage prefixes for Idiotpedia
I am going to request Interlanguage prefixes for Idiotpedia because Imbécilepedia (The french version) has been created. 「ペーパーカット？！」 PapercutsExist 14:28, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Accounts policy
Hello, comrades. It becomes increasingly hard to be a free-thinker in Wikimedia wikis, particularly expressing thoughts critical of privileged or highly active users. Uploading certain content and making certain statements is too dangerous for a person holding some positions in wikis, especially for a public person. May a group of Wikimedians register an account here on Miraheze for that rôle? No problem to notify Miraheze top management (such as John F. Lewis) about identity of actual operators – this information just may not leak to the Wikimedia’s establishment. Again, this is not to sow deception on Miraheze, only to protect career of users abroad (specifically, in Wikimedia projects). Incnis Mrsi (talk) 13:55, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I am only one vote and not a policymaker, but would strongly object to using Miraheze to start or prolong a vendetta arising on some other website. It is not a problem with Wikimedia nor inappropriate protection of "privileged" users so much as a human reaction to injecting drama into any society.  It is not hard to be a free-thinker on-line.   18:17 29-Sep-2019
 * I, personally, do not see an issue with this as long as such activity does not affect the reputation of Miraheze in a negative light. John (talk) 22:54, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * A valid difference of opinion. At the least, importation of drama would be blocked at any wiki I administer as incompatible with the aims of the wiki.  I concede it's unlikely to affect Miraheze's reputation, but solely because it's a tiny fraction of activity here, not because it's a healthy thing.   02:08 30-Sep-2019

Paid staff
I’ve seen a lot of people who want to become a Miraheze sysadmin. Why are they still “volunteers” and not “staff”? Basically, anyone who at least have autopatrol and/or rollback/wiki creator is automatically automatically a “staff” and they should be “paid”. Why are the best local staff members not paid for managing the Miraheze servers? OwenFung87 06:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Additionally, should RhinosF1 be paid by Southparkfan? OwenFung87 06:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
