FAQ/ja

このページは、Mirahezeについて良くきかれる質問（FAQ）を集めたものです.

このページは方針文書ではなく、導入的な案内です. その内容は、例えば休止の方針いくつかの実際の方針に言及していますので、実際の方針が何であるかはそちらの文書をお読みください.

ここはどんな場所なのでしょうか？
ここはウィキの集積場（「牧場」）です. ウィキとは、全世界へ即時に公表される共同作業的な編集に向けて作られたウェブサイトです. MirahezeはMediaWikiというソフトウェアを使っていますが、それによって複数人が同じページを編集したり、ハイライト・イラスト・特殊効果をサポートしたり、全てのページの全ての過去の時点での版のコピーで、コピーしたり現在の版を置換したりできるものを保持したりすることが可能になります. ウィキペディアは、もっとも有名なウィキです.

私達のメインページでは、このサイトの運営に当たって私たちが実行していることを表明しております.

これらの人々は誰ですか？
Mirahezeの利用者は、その利用者名によってのみ知られます. 全てのMirahezeのウィキで、一人の人物は同じ利用者名を使用することになります. 登録の際に、あなたは自分の利用者名を選びます. Mirahezeの利用者は、自身のアイデンティティー・個人情報を公開することが可能ですが、他の誰かの個人情報を許可なく公開することは、重大な違反です.

以下は、利用者のいくつかの役割です.


 * スチュワード - 彼らはあらゆるグローバルウィキでの活動と、グローバルコミュニティに関する問題に対して責任を負います. 例えば、あなたのウィキでの、あなた自身の管理活動ではうまく解決できないような妨害活動などが、その例です. あなたは、Stewards' noticeboard（英語のみ）で彼らに連絡することができます.


 * システム管理者 - 彼らは、Mirahezeの技術的機能に関して責任があり、全てが期待通りに動いていることを確かめます.


 * 管理者 - 彼らはこのウィキ「メタ（meta.miraheze.org）」に関する問題に対処します. メタの管理人は、このウィキしか担当しません. 但し、グローバルな権限を兼任している場合もあります.


 * Mirahezeのコミュニティーそれ自身はCommunity noticeboard(英語のみ)に集まり（全ての利用者は、その参加意欲の程度に応じて集まります）、そこではあなたはMirahezeやコミュニティ、他者の意見への見解に関連したあらゆることを議論することができます.

これらのウィキは何ですか？
現在、Mirahezeではこのウィキをホストしております. いくつかのウィキはウィキガゼッターで、著者が作成したサムネイル描写付きの情報を見ることができます. これらのウィキの多くはあなたがそれらのウィキを読み、投稿さえしてくれることを歓迎します. ホストされている全ウィキのリストは、Special:SiteMatrixからご覧になれます.

どうしてMirahezeと呼ばれているのですか？
どうしてそれではいけないのです？偶然にも、多くの人はMirahezeを様々な発音で呼んでいます.

どのようにしてホスティング資金をやりくりしているのですか？
Mirahezeは非営利で、完全に他者からの寄付に頼っております. 私達は広告はなく、会社や政府の資金を受けている訳でもないので、ドナーに頼ることとなります. 詳しくは、寄付及び財政をご覧ください.

どうして広告がないのですか？
人々は広告を嫌い、広告は寄付ほどの資金を私達にもたらしません（そして広告は、人々が寄付をやめるきっかけになり得ます）. 広告は個人情報を漏洩し、広告業を行っている会社から、ウィキのコンテンツを調整せよという圧力をかけられるリスクを引き起こします. 私達は、私達と個別のウィキで執筆している編集者の編集上の独立性を守ります.

どうすればMirahezeに寄付できますか？
Miragezeは現在Paypalで許容されているすべての支払い方法を許容しています. あなたは、ここをクリックするか、 へ直接寄付を送ることができます. 詳しくは、寄付をご覧になるか、Labsterまでご連絡下さい.

他の方法で貢献することはできますか？
歓迎します！詳しくは、貢献をご覧ください.

いくつのサーバーを所持しており、サーバーはどこにあるのですか？
私達は現在、16のサーバーを保有しております. 詳しくは、それぞれのサーバーに関する文書をこちらやこちらからご覧ください. 多くのサーバーはオランダにありますが、Bacula1、Cp2及びNs1の三つは、米国に存在します.

どのようにしてウィキを申請するのですか？
まず、アカウントを作成し、ログインした状態でSpecial:RequestWikiに行き、フォームに記入してください.

どのようにして、私のウィキが作られたことを確認するのですか？
あなたのリクエストは、Farmer log及びウィキ申請キューとして現れます. 誰かがあなたのリクエストを採用しウィキを作ったら、これもFarmer logで閲覧可能なはずです. 加えて、通常はあなたのウィキを作った人が貴方の利用者トークページにメッセージを残してくれます.

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.

Do I need to learn 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.

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 don't want your wiki to work this way, then request that InstantCommons be disabled on your wiki.

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 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.

非公開ウィキはどのようなものですか?
非公開ウィキはメンバーのみ閲覧や編集ができます. あなたのウィキのSpecial:UserRightsでユーザーの名前を入力するとそのユーザーをメンバーにできます.

何故誰でも非公開ウィキのメインページが見れるのですか?
このページは全てのユーザーに公開される決まりとなっています.

この決まりを回避する場合にはメインページを別の場所におきそこへ本来のメインページをリダイレクトしてください.

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.

どうすればロゴやファビコンを変更できますか?
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 Feature requests for help making a request.

どうすればウィキのためにカスタムドメインを入手出来ますか?
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.

どうすればウィキのバックアップを入手できますか?
All Miraheze wikis are backed up using Tech:Bacula, but you can request backups of your wiki only on Phabricator. A Miraheze system administrator will generate an XML dump of your wiki.
 * Dumps of public wikis will be made available on our static site
 * Dumps for private wikis will only be kept on our servers until a system administrator can send it to you.

If you are requesting a dump of a private wiki, you should have a validated email attached to your Miraheze account, even if you disable the Special:EmailUser functionality in your preferences.

Generally speaking, we do not retain dumps of individual wikis for a long period of time.

For more details please see Backups.

どうすればウィキを閲覧専用に出来ますか?
For making your wiki read only from everyone (including yourself) for specific periods of time you can request the "ProtectSite" extension.

For making it read-only to specific users/groups only you can request editing restrictions.

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 Request features to request a change to the set of users empowered 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.

どうすれば私のウィキを移動できますか?
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.
