Inviting participants
Hello,

That's my day 3 on miraheze, I'm quite exciting about beginning a Wiki ! Please, what's the easiest procedure about creating accounts for new participants, my colleagues asked me "where the application form ?" So I send them this link : https://didapro.miraheze.org/wiki/Spécial:Créer_un_compte but it seems that they get an error message, with something like : "erreur d'administration". Is there a parameter issue coming from me ? is it a question of procedure ? Is there a bug to create account ? Thank you Wikiderpdp
 * If you know their email address, try these procedures:
 * Collect your colleagues' email address and their preferred username. They must be able to receive email, because temporary passwords will be sent to mail.
 * You'll access Special:CreateAccount on your wiki, not here.
 * Tick "".
 * Put your colleagues username and email address.
 * Create the account.
 * Right after that, visit Special:UserRights on your wiki.
 * Put their username, grant "member" to their account, save.
 * Repeat for all of them.
 * If you don't know...
 * Ask them to create an account here, using https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount.
 * Then ask them their username, and also to visit your wiki. This is important, even though they can't see their contents when they first visit.
 * After they visit your wiki, you'll see their username in Special:ListUsers.
 * Go to "If you know their email address" #6, and continue there.

 * Thank you, that's clear, but why can't they directly open an account by themself ? User:Wikiderpdp
 * Our account name is shared across wikis and it automatically creates an account when unauthorized miraheze ID owner clicks a link to your wiki. So "Member" permission is needed to prevent data leak from such attack. And I assume non-members cannot access create account page because it is not whitelisted. &mdash; revi  11:57, 12 March 2018 (UTC),
 * In the past, we have added translations of Special:CreateAccount to the whitelist. It might be a good idea to add this as well. -- Void  Whispers 15:47, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Insert MS Word files format or other office solution format
Hello, I tried to insert a .docx file format document yesterday and I got an error message, does it mean that I have to ask for an extension in request features Does it depend of the version *.doc ou .docx ? photos are OK. What can I expect ? Thank you Philippe Wikiderpdp
 * Hello, .doc and so on are not file types that can be uploaded. The usual way of importing text is to copy it on your computer and paste it into an edit box on Miraheze.  However, our wikis use the MediaWiki markup language.  For example, you boldface some text by preceding and following it with three single-quotes in a row.  Microsoft Word and similar programs don't know about this.  Usually when you import text you need to pretty it up by adding this mark-up.   14:56 12-Mar-2018
 * Thank you, so there is no way to offer to create pages with files attachement to download ? Wikiderpdp
 * By default, there is no way to upload  and   files onto Miraheze wikis, but that can change. If you know how to edit basic code in PHP, I suggest you submit a pull request at Miraheze's mw-config/LocalSettings.php file. Or, if you don't, just go to, Miraheze's Phabricator, and request to add a variation of this on your wiki:  -- 06:34, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Visual editor extension
Good Morning, how to get a visual editor for my wiki as I can see it here in the Stewards' noticeboard, I made a request in Phabricator for what I assume to be a extension but I don't know. Thank you again Wikiderpdp (talk) 09:36, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * That's all you have to do. It should hopefully be handled soon. -- Void  Whispers 15:44, 13 March 2018 (UTC) I got it. You are great all of you !! user:wikideRPDP

Change Username
Hi. I had a small issue similar to this one (https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T2646) and the solution was to create a new account and not use the account that was made for me from the Admin.

Could you please change around the username's in the wiki tag.miraheze.org from YC Tenenbaum to Admin YCT and YC Tenenbaum2 to YC Tenenbaum

Thanks!

PS. You guys ROCK!!!
 * Can you please confirm the rename from the account YC Tenenbaum2? Alternately, there may be way to fix the issue by a sysadmin merging the account to global. -- Void  Whispers 22:23, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

HI. To confirm: I want to change YC Tenenbaum to Admin YCT and then after that change YC Tenenbaum2 to YC Tenenbaum (basically just drop the 2).

Basically, I want the second account to have the name of the first account. In order to do that, I would think we need to change the name of the first account first.

Thanks again!
 * Sorry I wasn't too clear, I meant confirm the rename while logged into the account. -- Void  Whispers 19:29, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok. I'm logged in as YC Tenenbaum2 and I'm confirming.
