FAQ/zh-cn

此页面是集合了有关于Miraheze维基所常被问到的问题（FAQ）.

此页面不是方针文档而是介绍性的指导文档，但该参考包含了一些方针文档，例如休眠方针. 若要更加了解实际方针可阅读这些文档.

这里是什么地方？
这里是所有维基上的集合（“维基农场”）是建立维基的地方. 每一个维基上都是供给任何用户面向一种可即时协作编辑的网站，并供以全世界可即时使用的公众网站上. Miraheze使用MediaWiki软件，以开发并实现了其让大多数人可编辑同一项页面，支援突出显示，插图，特效，以及保留过去式的每个页面副本，可从当前的副本复制或替换当前的副本. 维基百科就是最着名的维基项目之一.

我们的首页所说明我们在运行此网站时的承诺.

这些人是谁？
Miraheze维基上的用户仅以其用户名称为人所知. 一个人在所有Miraheze维基上都会是使用相同的用户名. 在注册的过程当中，您可选择自己的用户名称. Miraheze用户也可选择透露自己的身份，但若未经过他们的许可以透露他人的身份是一种严重的违规行为. 以下是一些角色：


 * 监管员 - 他们的义务来负责管理全域社区以及全域维基上的行动；例如，破坏性行为的用户在您的维基上无法管理好并处理该问题时都也可交由监管员来解决. 您可在监管员布告栏与监管员联系并求助.


 * 系统管理员 - 他们是工作人员来负责Miraheze维基技术上的操作运行以确保一切都不出差错.


 * 元维基管理员 - 他们的义务来负责管理本地上的维基事务，“元维基”. 元维基管理员只有负责管理本地上的维基事务.


 * Miraheze维基的社区本身 - 所有用户，他们所关心并参与的范围内 - 都集合在社区布告栏上，以让您可在页面上讨论与Miraheze维基有关任何的事情，社区将观察您所希望的并让别人发表给你的意见.

这些维基是什么？
Miraheze维基目前一共主办了个不同的维基. 您可以在维基上的地名录看得见本网站上的一些维基列表以及使用其作者请求创建该维基的缩略图描述. 这些维基上很多都是可供您阅读甚至是也可让您作出编辑的贡献. 至于有关所有维基上的目录您可参阅Special:WikiDiscover所举出的列表.

为什么叫做Miraheze？
为何不？不如说一下，有很多人对Miraheze这个名词的发音有着截然不同的差异.

你要如何资助您主办的维基？
Miraheze维基是一个非盈利的组织并完全依靠于其他人的捐赠. 我们不主办广告的项目，也没有公司或政府的资助，因此我们依靠的是捐赠者. 有关更多详情请参阅捐赠以及财务的信息.

为什么无广告？
这里多数人都不喜欢广告，而且主办广告不会比捐赠给我们来得更多钱（广告可会促使多数人停止对我们的捐款），广告可会泄露我们的隐私，而且广告也会增加我们调整维基上的内容并可让广告公司对我们进行施加压力的风险. 因此我们捍卫我们编辑的独立性，以及让作者在个人维基上有着活动的自主权.

我该如何捐赠给Miraheze？
Miraheze维基目前接受PayPal可接受所有的支付方式. 你可点击这里或者是直接向 发送捐款. 预知更多详情，请参阅捐赠的信息或与用户Labster进行联系.

我可以用其他的方式来做出贡献吗？
我们很喜欢并欢迎你的到来！请参阅贡献的信息以了解更多详情.

你们有多少台的服务器，你们的服务器位于何处？
我们目前有18个服务器. 你可在我们的服务器列表上以及在他们的特定页面上以参阅有关更多的信息和文档. 我们大多数的服务器都坐落在荷兰，但有三个（Bacula1, Cp2 以及 Ns1）是坐落在美国加州.

我该怎样申请一个wiki？
首先你要注册账号，登录后进入Special:RequestWiki填表提交.

怎样确认我的wiki创建了？
您的维基请求应当在农场日志以及程序上的维基队列请求可见得出. 当有人接受了您的请求并创建了您的维基时，这应该是可见的，同时，在农场日志也见得出. 此外，创建您的维基请求的人通常会在你的用户讨论页面上留言.

There are some cases where a wiki can't be created, such as when a wiki with the same name already exists, when you didn't provide enough information in your request, or when creating it is against either the Content Policy or any other Miraheze policies. In this case, you will also be advised on your user talk page.

What is the initial state of my new wiki?
We will put a Main Page on your wiki, with wording (in your chosen language) that is as inviting as possible, given that no wiki member has written anything real yet. We encourage you to edit this with whatever material you want a visitor to see first.

In addition, your user name will be designated the wiki's bureaucrat. (This is a wiki administrator with the power to appoint other users as administrators, and to depose them.)

What if something goes wrong?
This unfortunately can happen from time to time. Stay calm! Check your request in the Farmer log to be sure the request got into the log and was serviced. The quickest (and recommended) ways to report an issue are Phabricator and IRC, but you can also leave a message on the Community noticeboard, or contact a system administrator of your choice. If you were shown an error message when you tried to view your wiki, or tried to take an action that should have been allowed, copy this information and include it in your report.

要不要学习MediaWiki？
Most of what happens on a Miraheze wiki is dictated by the MediaWiki software. If you began by editing your wiki's Main Page, then what you type would be visible by every visitor. However, to make your wiki attractive, with highlighted text, headings, sidebars, infoboxes, illustrations, and dynamic effects, you will need to add mark-up as specified by MediaWiki.

A good introduction to MediaWiki is at the MediaWiki help center. A few recurring questions are answered below.

How do I give a distinctive style to my wiki?
Every web page is "rendered" on the reader's screen according to a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). Your wiki will have a document named MediaWiki:Common.css. It contains not text but rendering commands in a special language. For example, to make every second-level section header come out in green, include this command: H2 { color: green }

If you can write code in JavaScript, you can do more powerful things, such as rearrange elements on the page or make the size of an element depend on the size of the window being used to view the page. Code placed in MediaWiki:Common.js takes effect for all users and all pages of your wiki (provided the user has not disabled JavaScript).

How do I import content onto my wiki?
To import a single page from another wiki, use  on that wiki to obtain an XML dump of the page. Then add it to your wiki using your wiki's.

To import some or all the pages from some other wiki, get an XML dump of those pages, then attach the dump to your request on Phabricator. An alternative is to email the dump, with instructions, to staff@undefinedmiraheze.org. For more details, please see Imports.

How do I install infoboxes on my wiki, like Wikipedia has?
As above, use Special:Export on Wikipedia to get an XML dump of the template, then install them into your wiki with your  page. Be sure to click the "Include templates" button before export!

Templates with advanced features, such as the show/hide toggle, need special CSS code. View the source of Wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css, copy the sections that start with, and add this code to your wiki's   page.

When making changes to your wiki that involve several pages, don't just refresh the page but "hard refresh" it (Ctrl-F5 on Firefox) to ensure that your computer discards any old versions of any of the pages it may have saved in its page cache.

For more information you can read this guide

How do I make a notice appear at the top of every page?
Add the notice you want to see on the  page of your wiki.

If you have had previous content in the sitenotice, don't just edit  but also make a change to the   page — You can just keep increasing numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on. This is how MediaWiki remembers that you have changed the Site Notice after a given user dismissed your previous notice.

You can put, in, a message-of-the-day to be given to visitors who are not logged into Miraheze. These notices are not dismissable.

How can I change the status of my wiki?
Your wiki has a  page that gives you control over your wiki. This page lets you:
 * Change the language of your wiki (which affects the language of the messages that are built into MediaWiki). Any editor can type anything into a page of a wiki, in any language, no matter what you declare is the official language of your wiki.
 * Mark your wiki private, or mark it public again.
 * Mark your wiki closed (inactive), or reactivate it.
 * For a full list of features and tips on use, please see our ManageWiki help page.

More complicated changes not listed require you to make a request. We are working on making it possible for users to change these themsevles.

Why am I on another wiki's Special:ListUsers page?
(Or, you may ask, Who are all these people listed as users of my wiki?) A person's registered user name is the same on every Miraheze wiki the person visits. Every time you view a Miraheze wiki while being logged in to any other Miraheze wiki, your user name is attached to the local wiki, and therefore to its user list.

Why are Wikimedia Commons files on my wiki?
All Miraheze wikis begin with Instant Commons enabled, which gives wikis outside the Wikimedia Foundation access to media in Wikimedia Commons. When you use  to add a photo to your wiki, the response suggests that the photo is already uploaded! This simply means there is a photo in Wikimedia Commons by the same name. You can use that photo immediately. Or, if you prefer your own photo, you can complete the upload. That name, on your wiki, will now refer to your photo.

If you would like to disable InstantCommons, go to "Special:ManageWikiSettings", then click on the "media" section, then unselect "Enable Wikimedia Commons Files" and then click the "submit" button under the "submit" section.

What is going on with my Main Page?
The main page of every wiki on Miraheze is subject to the following special conditions: One way around both special conditions is to have your Main Page redirect to another location (see below). Alternatively, one may simply remove section headers from their Main Page entirely. However, for users who wish to still use the main page and have section headers, there is a way to do this by using HTML divisions. Please refer to this guide for more details.
 * It can be read by everyone even if the wiki is private (see below)
 * Users on mobile devices cannot tap section headers to get the section to expand. This means that mobile users can only see the section headers on the main page.

How private is a private wiki?
A private wiki can only be viewed and edited by its members. You can go to your wiki's Special:UserRights and enter the name of any registered Miraheze user to put that user in the  group on your wiki.

Why can everyone see the Main Page on my private wiki?
This one page is always public, by rule. You can get around this rule by putting your main content on some other page (say, "Real Main Page"), then edit your main page to redirect it there: #REDIRECT Real Main Page

Who or what is this "Phabricator"?
Phabricator is a system by which wiki owners can ask for technical assistance from Miraheze system administrators. Phabricator means you don't have to direct your request to a single system administrator, and deal with the possibility that that person is vacationing or has quit. Phabricator remembers requests and lets anyone volunteer to satisfy the request. It makes it less likely that requests get lost or ignored.

Phabricator is a separate program from MediaWiki, which renders the web pages of your wiki, but it is under the control of Miraheze.

You have to log into Phabricator, but if you are already logged into Miraheze, this is automatic if you press the button with the MediaWiki logo.

The page Feature requests has an overview of requesting help, including the types of requests you can make.

Why can't I do the tricks I can do on other wikis?
Your new wiki will have an ordinary installation of MediaWiki. Many people have written extensions to MediaWiki but most of these, by default, are not installed on new Miraheze wikis. Some popular extensions enable:
 * Uploading of audio files in the  format
 * Writing alternative renderings, to be chosen at random
 * Additional functions in the MediaWiki meta-language
 * Assembling lists of pages on your wiki, which can be inserted into a page
 * Helpful ways of linking to additional media from other websites, such as Google Maps

The page Extensions describes extensions that are pre-installed on your wiki, extensions you can request to be added, and extensions we won't add for privacy and other reasons. You can make a request as specified in Feature requests. It will help if you can state the exact name of the extension you want added to your wiki.

How do I change my logo or favicon?
If you don't like the yellow-and-tan Miraheze logo, and have custom artwork, you can install it as the favicon for every page of your wiki. Please see the ManageWiki help page for details on how to make the change.

How can I get a custom domain for my wiki?
Your wiki does not have to be a sub-domain of. It can be any web address that you are able to acquire. There is more information about this at Custom domains. If this is what you want to do, see Feature requests to make a request.

How do I get a backup of my wiki?
All Miraheze wikis are backed up using Tech:Bacula, but if you are an administrator, you can use Special:DataDump on your wiki to get an XML dump immediately. For image dumps, you need to contact system administrators.

For more details please see Backups.

How do I make my wiki read-only?
For making your wiki read only from everyone (including yourself) for specific periods of time you can enable the "ProtectSite" extension in ManageWiki.

For making it read-only to specific users/groups only you can utilize the ManageWikiPermissions feature.

How can I remove a bureaucrat from my wiki?
Bureaucrats are the highest-ranking officials of a wiki. Normally, it requires a request to a Miraheze steward to remove a bureaucrat. You must have a valid reason, such as abuse, or there must be consensus in the wiki to do so. The steward will want evidence (such as specific edits) that shows you are not just asking him to take one side in a clash of personalities.

Apart from moves against a specific user, you can use ManageWikiPermissions to empower a set of users on your wiki to remove bureaucrats. However, if bureaucrats can remove each other, other bureaucrats can remove you.

May I have Oversight or CheckUser rights?
To date, these permissions have not been given out to non-staff members. Stewards have the authority to delegate these rights to other users, but generally speaking the Steward body feels that it can handle all of these requests in a timely manner.
 * Oversight allows edits to the permanent historical record. It is sometimes necessary when the mere disclosure of information violates someone's rights, and it will not suffice to undo the edit but leave it in the history.  For example, if the name of a page discloses personal information or is libelous, it will not suffice to just delete the page.
 * CheckUser discloses the IP address from which a user is reaching Miraheze. It can sometimes provide evidence that several users vandalizing a wiki are in fact a single person.

If you believe you need one of these operations performed, please ask at the Stewards' noticeboard.

How does a wiki close?
A wiki closes (becomes inactive) when you go to  and tick the Closed button. It is reopened when you return to  and uncheck this button.

A wiki is also closed by stewards after a period of inactivity, as specified by the Dormancy Policy. Read the actual policy document rather than relying on this summary. The Dormancy Policy went into effect on 5 January 2016 and applies to all wikis.

If you have perused a closed wiki and believe you could take it further, please go to Requests for adoption.

如何移动我的wiki？
Exporting pages from a wiki, such as to a mirror site or to a host other than Miraheze, is the reverse of importing pages from another wiki onto your Miraheze wiki.

If your wiki consists of a small number of pages,  lists them. You can copy this list and paste it into the  page to produce a content dump in XML format.

If your wiki is larger, Miraheze can provide assistance. You should request this assistance by opening a ticket on Phabricator.

If the target host does not use the MediaWiki software, the pages may require conversion into the format that the target host uses. Miraheze cannot help you with that.

Where can I find your configuration?
We have a [//github.com/miraheze GitHub organization] where we store our Puppet configuration, extensions, MediaWiki install and other code.

Why can't I access the site using HTTP?
In the original HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), pieces of a request to, or a response from, a web server flowed over the wire or wireless network in plain text that it was easy for anyone to read. HTTPS is a protocol that scrambles each packet to make it harder to intercept. Wikipedia and its sister projects switched to HTTPS in 2015. We too support only HTTPS, to keep private information secure and to protect users against downgrade attacks. In addition, we require that Miraheze wikis with custom domain names have a valid SSL certificate.

There are proxy websites that give you access to HTTPS websites using HTTP, but we do not recommend or support their use.
