FAQ/sv

Välkommen till Miraheze – vi är glada över att du är här! Denna sida svara på vanliga frågor som en användare kan ha. If du har mer frågor, var god ställ dem på den gemensamma anslagstavlan.

Den här sidan är ingen policy utan en introduktionsguide. Den refererar till några riktiga policydokument, som Dormancy Policy. Läs de för att ta reda på vilka faktiska policyer som finns.

Allmänt


Vad är det här för ett ställe?
Välkommen till Miraheze! Miraheze är ett s.k. wiki-hotell, vilket betyder att vi är värd för ett antal wikier inom alla ämnen. Notera att ehuru vi är värd för många wikier, så är vi inte officiellt de som sköter dem. Om du har frågor om en wikis lokala riktlinjer, var god kontakta en lokal wiki-administratör.

Miraheze använder MediaWiki, samma mjukvara som driver Wikipedia, vilket låter flera personer redigera samma sida, stödjer syntaxmarkering, illustrationer, och specialeffekter, samt behåller kopior av varje sida vid varje tidigare ögonblick, vilka kan kopieras från eller kan ersätta den nuvarande kopian.

Vi har ett åtagande gentemot våra använder som varit densamma i över sju år. Besök våran huvudsida för mer information.



Vem driver Miraheze?
Till skillnad från många företag och projekt så har Miraheze inte officiellt någon "personal" som driver tjänsten. Istället så drivs Miraheze av en grupp volontärer som handskas med hotellets dagliga drift. Nedan är några av dem viktiga:


 * Stewarder – Stewarder är de högst rankade användarna i en gemensamskapsroll. De är ansvariga för frågor som rör den globala gemenskapen likväl som globala wiki-åtgärder. Till exempel så kan störande beteende i en wiki som inte kan lösas på ett godtagligt sätt av lokala administrativa åtgärder remitteras till stewarder. Du kan kontakta dem via stewardarnas anslagstavla.


 * Systemadministratörer – Systemadministratörer är ansvariga för den tekniska funktionen av Miraheze och för att se till att allt fungerar som det ska.


 * Styrelsen – Styrelsen är Miraheze Limited:s styrande organ. För nuvarande uppehar den full finansiell, bestämmande, och målsättande kontroll över bolaget. För närvarande finns tre ledamöter.


 * Meta-administratörer – Meta-administratörer ansvarar för frågor som rör denna wiki, Miraheze Meta. Meta-administratörer är endast ansvariga för denna wiki.



Vad för sorts wikier är ni värd för?
Miraheze är värd för alla sorters wikier: från små, nära sammanknuta gemenskaper till stora fanbasar och samarbetsprojekt; vi är värd för alla, såvida det tillgodoser våran innehållspolicy.

För närvarande är Miraheze värd för. Du kan läsa en kurerad lista över wikier på Gazetter of wikis, med sammanfattande beskrivningar av wikierna. Många av dessa wikier välkomnar dig att läsa dem och till och med göra bidrag. För en lista över alla wikier som Miraheze är värd för, se Special:WikiDiscover.



Varför heter ni Miraheze?
Vissa av Wikimediastiftelsens servrar var döpta efter stjärnor när en av Mirahezes medgrundare jobbade där. Två specifika servrar hette  och , så sammansättningen av dem två namnet resulterade i vårat namn, "Miraheze!" Både "Mira" och "Heze" är stjärnor.

När det kommer till en officiellt uttalande, så finns det egentligen ingen. Många människor uttalar "Miraheze" olika, dock verkar det allmänt vedertaget vid 2022 att det uttalas "meer-ah-hiis".



Affärsmodell


Hur finansierar ni ert värdskap?
Miraheze är inte vinstdrivande och är helt beroende av donationer från folk som du! Vi visar inte reklam, och inte heller finansieras vi av ett bolag eller en regering, så vi beror helt och hållet på våra generösa donatorer. Var god läs Donera och Finanser för mer information.



Varför visar ni inte reklam?
Folk gillar inte reklam, reklam ger oss inte mer pengar än donationer (och reklam skulle kunna få folk att sluta donera till oss), reklam är en integritetsläcka, och reklam riskerar också påtryckningar från reklambolagen att vi måste ändra på wikiernas innehåll. Vi försvarar våran redaktionella självständighet, och densamma för dem skribenter som jobbar med individuella wikier.



Hur kan jag donera till Miraheze?
Miraheze accepterar för närvarande alla betalningsmetoder som PayPal stödjer. Du kan [ klicka här] eller skicka en donation direkt till Special:MyLanguage/Donate. För mer information, var god läs Donera eller kontakta Owen.



Kan jag bidra på andra sätt?
Så klart du kan! Vi behöver alltid volontärer, så var snäll och titta till Bidra för mer information. Om du vill lära dig mer så kan du också ställa frågor på den gemensamma anslagstavlan.



Hur många servrar har ni, och vart är era servrar baserade?
Vi har vår egna, fysiska hårdvara där vi inkvarterar dem flesta av våra servrar sedan januari 2022. Vårat datacenter, som vi kallar "SCSVG", är baserat i Stevenage, Storbritannien. Förutom med vår egna hårdvara så huserar vi cacheproxyservrar med OVH och ns1 (namnservrar) med RamNode.

Du kan få mer information och dokumentation om varenda en av dem i våran lista över servrar och på deras specifika sidor.



Wikier i allmänhet


Hur efterfrågar jag en wiki?
Skapa ett konto först, och gå sen till Special:RequestWiki medans du är inloggad och fyll i formuläret. Var god se till att inkludera mycket information om din wiki så vi kan godkänna den. Wikier som saknar information i deras beskrivningar kan bli nekade.



Hur bekräftar jag att min wiki har blivit skapad?
Om du har en epostadress kopplad till ditt konto borde du få ett meddelande som berättar att din wiki har blivit skapad. Om inte så borde du lägga till en adress till ditt konto, eftersom du blir permanent utelåst från ditt konto om du glömmer ditt lösenord annars. Du kommer också få en wiki-avisering när din wiki har skapats.

Du kan också hålla koll på din förfrågan via wikiförfrågekön. Hotelloggen visar en logg över alla godkända och nekade wikier.

Det finns fall då en wiki inte kan bli skapad, så som när en wiki med samma namn redan finns, när du inte har givit nog med information i din förfrågan, eller när det skulle ha varit emot innehållsriktlinjerna eller någon annan Miraheze-regel att skapa den. I dem fallen kommer en wikiskapare att informera dig via wikiförfrågan.

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.

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, IRC, Discord, but you can also leave a message on the Community noticeboard, or contact a system administrator. 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.

How do I transfer my wiki to Miraheze?
We have an entire page which explains how to transfer your wiki to Miraheze. Generally, you will need to send an XML dump to us, and an image dump if you also want to import images. Please check the page for more information.

Who owns a wiki?
Since the early beginnings of wiki communities, wikis have generally operated on community consensus. This was the case with WikiWikiWeb, the very first wiki and is also the case with all Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia. As such, Miraheze takes the stance that wikis are owned by their community and operate based on community consensus. No single person owns a wiki and can act as an autocratic dictator.

Wikis should generally try to strive to take local users into consideration where possible. Where possible too, administrators and bureaucrats should be elected by the local community and local communities should pass policies based on a community vote and community consensus. Local administrators are sometimes afforded extra leverage when it comes to wiki governance. Some wikis sometimes pass policies and rules without consulting the community. While not the best, as long as the policy is not seriously challenged, it may stand. If the policy is challenged though, bureaucrats should not try to suppress the users in question but instead, the policy in question should go before a community vote for endorsement. Bureaucrats do have discretion though to ignore the challenge if they feel that the contesting was done in bad-faith or by a user trying to circumvent a long-standing rule for their benefit. If a matter is not resolved adequately, Stewards may intervene if requested by local users or administrators. Stewards will first analyze the wiki, it's approved scope and policies and will decide from there whether intervention is needed or not.

What is consensus?
Consensus is defined by Wiktionary as "General agreement among the members of a given group or community, each of which exercises some discretion in decision-making and follow-up action."

Consensus is just that. When users come to an agreement on how a community should be run. Consensus isn't just counting votes though, it's about seeing who makes the best, most thoughtful argument. For example, imagine User A is nominated for adminiship. User B, C, and D vote in favor but give no reason why or just say "I like them". User E votes against and cites proof that User A has been rude in the past to other users, that they have very little experience, and that they are not very active. In weighing votes, User E's vote weighs much more heavier than User B, C, and D's because they gave solid reason to back their opinion while User B, C, and D did not.

Bureaucrats are generally in charge of determining local consensus unless they are inactive in which case a Steward may do that in their stead if requested. Bureaucrats should never try to override community consensus or suppress the will of the community because of personal opinions. There are only very limited sets of times when community consensus can be ignored such as in extreme cases where the consensus would lead to a danger or instability in the community or where there are concerns with the voting process such as concerns of sockpuppetry, etc. In those cases, a Steward should be contacted to help. If the community is dissatisfied with the outcome of a decision, they may challenge it. If the community feels that consensus on any challenge was still interpreted wrong, they may contact Stewards who will attempt to mediate the issue.

What is Stewards' role within wikis?
Stewards' are users elected by the global community at large to assist wikis with any issues that face them along with doing advanced tasks (such as deleting big pages, CheckUser, Oversight, assigning rights on wikis without bureaucrats, etc.) and acting as administrators/bureaucrats on wikis without active administrators/bureaucrats. Stewards try not to intervene locally where possible. If an issue can be resolved locally, Stewards try not to take any action and will try to leave it local administrators. Very rarely (if ever) do Stewards get involved in mediating editorial conflicts unless the issue has escalated to a point where global policies like the Code of Conduct are being broken or where the issue has escalated to threats.

Stewards should not be the first people contacted when you have an issue on a wiki unless the issue is severe and it breaks our global policies or where you feel you uncomfortable raising an issue with local administrators because of fear of reprisal. If local administrators do not resolve an issue such as a conduct issue within a reasonable amount of times, Stewards may be called in at the request of users.

Stewards are always expected to act in the community's best interests, after researching what the community is and how it works. They are not sole arbiters or dictators either. If there is an issue with how a Steward has assessed or interpreted an issue, please bring it to public attention on the Stewards' noticeboard. Individual Steward actions are superseded by a consensus of Stewards, and even the consensus of Stewards must be informed by the will of the global Miraheze community and the policies that users have elected.

As mentioned above, Stewards' act as bureaucrats on wikis without local bureaucrats. This means that they have the ability to promote or demote administrators and bureaucrats on wikis without local bureaucrats and can do other administrative tasks. Global Sysops' help Stewards' do some administrative tasks related to countervandalism on all wikis.

To what degree are wikis autonomous?
Much like Wikimedia, Miraheze allows for local self-rule and autonomy. All wikis are granted autonomy to act as their local community wishes, so long as they obey all global policies. Wikis are free to elect their own leaders, establish their own policies, and more. Stewards and other global officials very rarely meddle with local affairs unless requested to or a violation of our global policies occurs. Unlike other wiki farms which may forcefully take actions that go against the will of the local community, Stewards will not do that, again, unless there is a violation of global policies.

Do note though that while communities are autonomous, they are not independent. All wikis are subject to our global policies and are subject to British law. Some wikis erroneously get the idea that they are not subject to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or anything else. That is not the case. Miraheze has policies that were elected by users and legal obligations so while wikis are free to do as they wish for the most part, they must follow our global policies.

How private is a private wiki?
A private wiki can only be viewed and edited by its members. To allow someone to view and edit your wiki, please go to Special:UserRights on your wiki (not this wiki, Miraheze Meta, whose rights are only editable by local administration) and enter the name of any registered Miraheze user to put that user in the  group on your wiki.

If you don't see the username of the person who you want to add to your wiki, that means their account doesn't exist locally. Please tell them to visit the wiki so that our login system can create a local account for them.

Under very rare circumstances, Stewards, System administrators and Trust and Safety can check private wikis. This is almost always to ensure compliance with all global policies, legal requirements, or to troubleshoot a problem on a wiki.

Why can everyone see the Main Page on my private wiki?
The main 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:
 * 1) REDIRECT Real Main Page

What is ManageWiki?
ManageWiki is a special tool that lets wiki bureaucrats edit their wiki's local configuration without needing a system administrator to do it for them. It is divided into 5 sections: Core settings, additional settings, extensions and skins, permissions and namespaces. ManageWiki is a very powerful tool so please be careful to who you grant the right. For more information, please check the ManageWiki page.

What is Phabricator?
Phabricator is a system by which wiki bureaucrats can report technical issues to system administrators or request configuration changes for configuration variables that are not in ManageWiki. Phabricator is not meant for general support requests like help with CSS, only for technical issues. For general support, check out the Help center

Phabricator is separate MediaWiki, which is the software powering your wiki, but it is still under the control of Miraheze.

Please check out the Phabricator page for a guide on how to sign in to Phabricator. Generally, it's pretty straightforward. In the sign in page, click the MediaWiki logo to be signed in to Miraheze.

Why does my wiki not have the same features as other wikis?
All new wikis feature an ordinary vanilla MediaWiki installation which may lack the feature you're looking for. Many people have written extensions for MediaWiki which extends MediaWiki and adds new features but most of these, by default, are not enabled on new Miraheze wikis. Some popular extensions enable:
 * 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
 * Translation of pages
 * Usage of a social profile system

The page Extensions describes extensions that are pre-enabled on your wiki, extensions you can enable yourself via ManageWiki, and extensions we won't add for privacy and other reasons. Check that page out to see how to request extensions not in ManageWiki.

How do I change my logo or favicon?
Please check out the ManageWiki help page for details on how to make the change.

How can I get a custom domain for my wiki?
If you don't want your wiki to use a  subdomain, you can request we change the domain name to any domain you own and point to us. Please see Custom domains for more information.

How do I get a backup of my wiki?
If you are a local administrator, you can go to Special:DataDump on your wiki and request a backup.

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 ManageWiki/permissions feature.

How can I remove a bureaucrat from my wiki?
Bureaucrats are the highest-ranking officials of a wiki. If you wish to remove a bureaucrat, please request that on the Stewards' noticeboard. You must have a valid reason, such as abuse, resignation, 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 them to take one side in a clash of personalities.

Bureaucrats can also change ManageWiki permissions to empower them to remove other bureaucrats, including you. Note that this change should not be done without community consensus. If Stewards feel a bureaucrat demotion was unjustified, they reserve the right to revert the demotion and may take local action to resolve any issues.

Can I use CheckUser and Oversight?
Stewards have the sole 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. CheckUser and Oversight may be locally granted following a local election that meets the requirements for Stewardship. Please see their respective pages for more information.


 * If you require Oversight of an edit, please privately contact a Steward via email to stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org, Discord or IRC. DO NOT REQUEST THIS IN PUBLIC!
 * Where CheckUser assistance is needed, you may request help on the Stewards' noticeboard in most cases. If you are not comfortable requesting help publicly or you believe private information is involved which you should reveal, please contact the Stewards via the above methods.

I just enabled an extension or changed a setting but I don't think it is working, what should I do?
Please try turning the extension off and on again or re-saving the configuration change and then wait a few minutes. If you are still having an issue, please ask for help on Phabricator and we will try to get it working as soon as possible.



Stängda wikier


Hur stängs en wiki?
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 automatically 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 reopening wikis.

How do I move my 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 organization where we store our Puppet configuration, extensions, MediaWiki install and other code.

The config for wikis can be found in the mw-config repository.

Why can't I access the site using HTTP?
HTTP is prone to attacks and your connection can be eavesdropped by anyone who knows how to. For your safety, we use HTTPS to secure your connection between your browser and our servers.

I've got an issue with a user or wiki
If you've had issues with users or wikis, there are steps you can take to settle the dispute. Please try and remain civil and calm at all times. All users are bound to the Code of Conduct. No one is above it, including wiki administrators and Miraheze's own volunteers. Incivility will not be tolerated at all.

If it's a user

 * 1) Talk to them
 * 2) Raise the issue to a local wiki administrator. On this wiki (Miraheze Meta) only, you can use Administrators' noticeboard.
 * 3) If there is no resolution and the problem you're facing involves violations of the Code of Conduct, please email stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org. Stewards' will investigate the matter and bring a satisfactory resolution.

If it's a wiki

 * 1) Please raise all local issues with local wiki administrators first.
 * 2) If there are still issues or if the issue involves a severe violation of our global policies and you do not feel comfortable contacting the wiki's administrators, you may contact a Steward for help either on the Stewards' noticeboard or via email to stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org. If you are reporting violations of the Content Policy or other global policies, please make sure to include plenty of evidence.

Editorial disputes usually are not resolved by Stewards. Stewards will always defer editorial disputes to local administrators. Coming to Stewards attempting to get them to overturn a local decision will not work.
