An error with the Flow extension
Every time I try to post a link on a flow discussion, I get this error.

The only way I can bypass this error is by removing the link destination by using   or removing it. Can you fix it?

I got a problem
On my Wiki project, something has recently been going wrong. I keep getting the following error message: " [01043969262bb838332e4ade] 2019-09-10 15:15:32: Fatal exception of type "Error" ".

Lilypond Version
I am using the extension Score, which is using Lilypond 2.18.2. Most of my scores require 2.19.x, so I am very limited with the use of the extension. Is there planned to update Lilypond any time soon? Greetings Manuela (talk) 07:04, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Finding Wikis which use a specific extension
Hi, is there a possibility to find out which wikis on Miraheze use a specific extension? And how can I find wikis with recent edits? Thanx, Lily (talk) 04:48, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * There is no extension or automatic process to do so. The only way you could find out would be to ask a sysadmin to take a look at any specific extensions (so please feel free to ask me and I will provide a list). As for wikis with recent edits, that is also currently not possible but you can take a look at Special:WikiDiscover and Gazetteer of wikis. 06:04, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the answer, I am interested in the extension Score. I have already been looking on Special:WikiDiscover, but many wikis there are closed or private. Gazetteer of wikis ok wow 319.450 pages, that is a lot Lily (talk) 06:52, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Thank you so much, Lily (talk) 07:45, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I have checked it out, unfortunately there is an extension called Contribution Scores. It seems that every wiki that has this extension activated pops up in your list, too. Lily (talk) 08:04, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

 * 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

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

Add to Google Search
Hello! How to make my site searchable through Google? --Kwack (talk) 08:31, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It's based on Google's PageRank system, so if users wanna find your wiki, they'd have to explicitly search for "your wiki name" Miraheze. But for some wikis, if the wiki is a specific popular subject and there is a Miraheze wiki that exists about such subject, then the wiki will probably show in Google Search. Like searching "2b2t wiki" will show a Miraheze wiki link as the first result. –Ανδρέαςtalkundefinedcontributions 22:52, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

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)
 * Staff is higher than the rights you've mentioned and I don't know any wiki that pays a rollbacker or normal contributors and we don't do this for money. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  14:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Additionally, should RhinosF1 be paid by Southparkfan? OwenFung87 06:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't accept payment as I chose to do this in my free time for everyone's good as I enjoy it. I'm not wanting money out of this. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  14:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Also, please be aware of your RfC restrictions as while it seems to be a polite question at this point, I can see this easily breaching the spirit of your sanctions. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  14:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I am not trying to breach my sanctions, once again, I am just asking questions about Miraheze that will extremely unlikely to be happening (e.g. real meetings with WMF staff). I will always keep it to my user subpage for "fake proposals" that will not be converted into "real" proposals until my sanction has been ended. I promise that I will never violate my sanction and feel free to address any concerns. I will accept a request for a global ban if I ever violate my sanctions. Thank you. I will not officially appeal this restriction until I am at the age of 16 and my parents and friends allow me to do that, although this may be changed or exempted if there is a need (e.g. Miraheze is to be incorporated, which will never happen anytime soon). Sincerely, Owen Jason Fung ( Student, Hong Kong International School ) Please note that I will not accept any face to face meetings, until, again, I am at the age of 16. --OwenFung87 12:48, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

The Notorious IHateShippers Is Totally Out Of Control
With all his 43 sock accounts (and more), this troll went from being a noxious shipper hater back from April 2019 to a heartless cyberbully of mine in August 30, 2019; and he's going crazy! Is there a way to actually get him out of Miraheze forever so that he can leave all of the wikis he visits alone at last?

For example, how do I use the abuse filter so that his accounts get automatically blocked the next time he makes another one? And how do I auto-delete troll pages?

Usually, he'd make troll pages that are about giving me rape threats by sending fictional characters, memes and internet users.

Language template help
My wiki project has yet another template problem. I'm trying to integrate a language template to the wiki, and all I get is "Lua error in Module:Unicode_data at line 15: attempt to call field 'length' (a nil value).". Several other templates on the wiki apparently have that same unresolvable problem. Is there a way to fix Lua errors? Thanks. ManiacACS (talk) 15:29, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Questions about Wikibase
Hi! I recently requested a wiki (https://nbdb.miraheze.org/) and I've enabled the Wikibase Repository. I have some questions: I think that's all for now. Thanks in advance! --Ondo (talk) 12:06, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Is there a way to move items to the main namespace, instead of using their own Item: NS? I know the MediaWiki docs show a way, but not sure if Miraheze offers this option (if not, no problem. Just wondering).
 * Secondly, and more importantly, I don't find the option to add statements to items. For example, this test item I created. The Statements header exists, but there is no edit button for that section. I think I already assigned all wikibase-related permissions to admins, but maybe I missed some? Apparently it works now. I'm guessing the installation needed some time to configure everything.
 * Also, if I understand it correctly, the extension that lets a wiki connect with another wikibase installation to display data from it is the Wikibase Client, which is not available for now, right? However, is there a way to fetch data from a Wikibase Repository installed in the same wiki without having the Client?

Can you delete this wiki I made?
I've abandoned the wiki and it's been translated into some language, like German. Can you please delete it?

Dan Jacobson thinking of moving his two wikis to Miraheze
Hello. I am getting old and don't want to maintain MediaWiki any more and thus am thinking of moving my two sites, to Miraheze, however they probably will very quickly run aground of the Dormancy Policy, as the former very likely will have no more activity, due to the author's age, and the latter less and less activity, as radios are all going digital, as we note on each page that describes a organization that no longer is scannable.
 * https://abj.jidanni.org/
 * https://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/

Anyway tell me if my wikis could be exist on Miraheze forever even if not being active (qualify as Dormancy exceptions). I note as I use Let's Encrypt, the wikis could be moved to Miraheze without the users even noticing a change in the URL! Thanks. Jidanni (talk) 02:53, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
 * That should be fine, since the pages are meant to be read that would qualify as a dormancy exception. You can request an import and custom domain on Phabricator after you have requested your wikis. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:40, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

CoCC election
Hoi,

last year, CoCC election for 2018-2019 begun at 2018-11-02, which is about the last day without 'no CoCC day'. To avoid last-minute elections and co, I think we'd better start the stuff early, preferably starting next week. If nobody opposes, I will create election pages after 00:01, 24 October 2019 (UTC).

We might want to fix the election date, maybe 3 weeks before the expiration of the current CoCC? Maybe this is RFC matter. Currently, there is no provision on the selection of CoCC other than supplementary provision's "The seat for community-elected member will follow Miraheze Meta Requests for Permissions procedures". We might incorporate this into the CoCC rules via RFC, again.

+ I'm not running for re-election, I'd rather serve as a guy who creates annual election pages. We probably don't need bureaucracy like English Wikipedia ACE, we just need someone to create pages. &mdash; revi  05:41, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

i'd like to be able to programmatically get the latest versions of wiki pages. Should i access the database or the API or something else?
I'd like to
 * disseminate the most recent version of the data on the wiki in different formats—LaTeX, HTML—
 * and to be able to fork the wiki—i remember hearing some people in Saskatchewan would like to do that.

I've heard the using the API can be a bit taxing on the server, is there a better way to go about downloading pages?

Thanks! PermeateCalgary (talk) 01:02, 4 November 2019 (UTC)


 * If you're going to fork the wiki taking a current database dump and importing it elsewhere is probably the best. If you just want to regularly fetch the latest content, using the API is probably better than just scraping the pages, although you should rate-limit whatever tool you use to do so regardless. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 01:40, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Add all the pages into categories manually or with something like AutoWikiBrowser (probably not the most desirable)
 * Create a Thread: namespace in ManageWiki, then nuke the entire namespace. The namespace can be deleted afterwards.
 * Somebody else might have a better idea, but these are what I can think of off the top of my head. Dross (talk) 01:01, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Examknow RfC Closure
Hi,

I'd like to make it clear that I am not happy with the desicion to not implement 2 of the proposals of the Examknow RfC. I will be taking steps to ensure that the desicion is implemented and the community has a chance to show their opinion later today.

I have personally decided that effective immediately, until the communities desicion is implemented I will not be dealing with anything on Miraheze other than ensuring implementation of this is done to the community's requirement. Withdrawn, no community support for continued action

I will also note that I have asked Examknow to resign.

Community oversight does not exist on IRC as it is ran by Miraheze representatives and not the community, likewise with Discord. John (talk) 07:42, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I did not participate in the Examknow RFC as I do not believe it is my role to engage with potential rights abuses by other users. However, looking at the evidence and accusations I must state that I can't possibly reach a conclusion as so much hinges on evidence which is not just undisclosed but undescribed. I do however think that more than anything this highlights the problems with manual wiki creation which I have discussed repeatedly upon the Discord. ~ El Komodos Drago (talk to me) 17:06, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Define license policie for Miraheze Commons
Saludos a toda la comunidad de Miraheze. Hace un año se aprobó la creación de Miraheze Commons, un repositorio multimedia con archivos que todas las wikis de Miraheze pueden usar. Ya ha pasado un año y la wiki aún no ha definido sus políticas siendo la política de imágenes la más importante. Por eso solicito comentarios de la comunidad de Miraheze para poder definir que licencias de imágenes se aceptarán en Miraheze Commons. En principio, se deberían definir estos puntos en comparación a lo hecho en Wikimedia Commons pero adaptado a este proyecto:
 * Fair Use.
 * Derechos de autor.
 * Simple design.
 * Derivative works.


 * Next I have two proposals for politics.

The top category "Статьи Вера ИСВ‎ (8 С)" shows eight _original_ pages in russian which is correct or not does not matter now. Long subpages names I will rename later.

Is it possible to fix it ? Just to hide translation pages ? Or we need to swith to Semantic MediaWiki where transtaled pages have translated names too and searchable ? What are suggestions about managing internationaly translated documents ?

How can I remove bureaucrat status from a user?
I want to be able to remove bureaucrat status from a user on Horrible Vyonders Wiki. How do I do so? Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 15:50, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Go to here. 16:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * What permission do you need to implement in order to be able to remove it? Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 16:20, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * that's not what he's asking for; here. Hispano76 (talk) 16:24, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The problem is, I can't remove bureaucrat status from a user. That's why I'm asking. How do I do so? Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 16:27, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * mh:horriblevyonderswiki:Special:ManageWiki/permissions/bureaucrat is the page to manage group assignments for 'crat. You'll want to use this setting to allow Bureaucrat to remove the Bureaucrat group. A better, albeit more complicated solution would be to create a new user group which has the ability to add or remove 'crat, that way it eliminates the possibility of 'crats removing each other. See mh:guide:Special:ListGroupRights for example. dross  (t • c • g) 16:29, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks. Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 16:34, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Infobox
Hey, does anyone know how to make infoboxes? I need seven parameters! @Solaris2019
 * Hey there, I might be able to help you with infoboxes. Would you mind clarifying what you want it to be? Hypercane  <font color="#8152C6">(  talk <font color="#8152C6">) 03:16, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * like this

|name       = |image      = |caption    = |homeworld  = |residence  = |membership = |family     = |species    = |gender     = |voice actor =


 * Just a side note, there are tons of different types of templates on the Miraheze template wiki, feel free to take a look. Best, --<span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 20px lightskyblue, -4px -4px 20px HotPink;font-weight:bold;">EK ● contribs 03:33, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * You may want to see this page if you haven't imported any infoboxes from other wikis yet.-- 07:26, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Permission error
Now it's constantly saying "You do not have permission to read this page, for the following reason:

The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Administrators, Members." Even though I'm the owner of the wiki. Is something rwong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CrashFire (talk • contribs) 15:46, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Could you let us know what wiki this is on? dross  (t • c • g) 16:38, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

== When I try to make a page, the option to make it won't come up and when I try to make the page by making a link to the page I want to make that doesn't exist, it shows the discussion thing under page instead. ==

Is there an explanation to this?
 * Hi. What is the URL of wiki are you experiencing this issue on? Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 14:18, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

This wiki: https://crummyscratchers.miraheze.org
 * Thank you, we will be looking into this. Also, in the future please sign your posts with 4 tildes ( ~ ). Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 15:43, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅, the issue was with a setting you changed in Special:ManageWiki/namespaces. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 15:45, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

how can i edit side bar?
How can I edit side bar? I want to change contents of side bar, but I don't know how to do it. --Meoru00 (talk) 15:20, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * In Mediawiki:Sidebar of your wiki. Hispano76 (talk) 15:38, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. :) --Meoru00 (talk) 02:10, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * At The Mirror, I have JQuery code that moves stuff into the sidebar from outside it. This might be something you can adapt.   22:38 29-Nov-2019

Typing error at requesting my wiki, what to do now?
I requested and now already got it, thanks for this fast work, the kujum wiki. But now I have learned, that I had misunderstood my woman. She wanted nujum and not kujum. Nujum in tunisian lanuage means "stars" or so, but kujum means absolutely nothing, Please take my big Sorry for that.

The quetion now is: What to do best with the kujum wiki? Will it be okay to just request a further wiki, now with the name nujum? Using the kujum as test field and backup? Or would it be better to correct this failure?

TIA, --Peter Littmann (talk) 16:04, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * You can edit your wiki request by clicking here. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 16:31, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like your wiki has been created already. However, you can fix the wiki name from Special:ManageWiki/core of your wiki, and can request for fixing the subdomain on Phabricator.-- 16:53, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
