 * Extension/feature requests:

BartWR (talk) 09:48, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Feature 1: Could you add Skin:Foreground to the available skins?
 * Reason: It's a nice default skin to modify to our wishes. See this page for our design ideas so far.


 * wanted to make sure you know we haven't forgotten about you. Sorry about the delay with this, but we're working on doing it. This may not be done until after the upgrade to MediaWiki 1.26 (scheduled for 12/27/2015). If we add anything new now (installing new software, not enabling installed software), it will have to be changed again when we upgrade in the near future. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 22:21, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Will be done after the upgrade to 1.26, Which is tomorrow mainly. SleepyMode  08:50, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * (thank you!) BartWR (talk) 11:12, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The skin is installed, but we need to make a security review and then it will be merged and enabled on your wiki. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 11:14, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * We are taking care of this. I am really sorry for making you wait this long. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 19:11, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
 * What is the blocking part in this - can I help? BartWR (talk) 09:31, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The request actually was already done before you commented, but I forgot to mention that here. Anyway, ✅. Southparkfan (talk) 14:37, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Izanagi Online Wiki (Status: 2/5 Done)
Oberyn (talk) 00:45, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Wiki: Izanagi Online Wiki
 * Domain: https://izanagi.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page
 * Extension/feature requests:
 * Extension 1: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HTMLets HTMLets]
 * Extension 2: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor VisualEditor] ✅
 * Extension 3: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Preloader Preloader]
 * Extension 5: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:YouTube YouTube] ✅
 * Extension 6: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:JavascriptSlideshow JavascriptSlideshow]
 * Reason:


 * PS: The favicon that was requested earlier is not working. It is still the same Miraheze "flower." Also, the MultiUpload extension that was added is showing a "server error 500." Thanks. Oberyn (talk)
 * The request is In progress =) SleepyMode
 * 2/6 of the Addons are ✅ SleepyMode  11:31, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Could you please link the favicon again? Also, I'm going to go ahead and disable MultiUpload as it is currently unmaintained and I haven't seen it working since MW 1.24 (we are currently running ). If you'd like, I'd recommend the MsUpload extension as it adds multi-upload functionality on pages themselves. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 12:54, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Favicon. MsUpload sounds fine; please add it instead. Thanks. Oberyn (talk)
 * Do you just want MsUpload or do you want the other MsExtensions I currently bundle with it (I believe mw:Extension:MsLinks and mw:extension:MsCats are bundled atm. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 14:51, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Sounds fine. If they go fluidly with Visual Editor, there's no problem at all. BTW, any luck on disabling mobilefrontend? Oberyn (talk)

(reset) Looking into MobileFrontend now. Youtube is actually done now, and the favicon issue was caused by a typo in our production config :) I just fixed that. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:00, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * MsUpload, Youtube, VE, and Favicon are ✅, others pending. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * VE is showing the following error: "Error loading data from server: 404:parsoidserver-http: HTTP 404. Would you like to retry?" and the loading bar stops a quarter way through. It only hsows that message for anonymous edits. If logged in, the error message doesn't show; however, the bar still stops loadingOberyn (talk)
 * Sorry about the delay! It appears like the favicon, youtube, and visual editor are all done (And VE working now). I have to look into HTMLets but it might be problematic. Same for JSSlideshow. Will get back to you! -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:40, 20 January 2016 (UTC)


 * scrub it if they're problematic. I can manage with what I have for now. Thanks for all your help! Oberyn (talk) 21:09, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Extension/feature requests:
 * Feature 1: A new user group called Founder, with it being only assigned to me, and it would let me add and remove ALL groups (execpt Checkuser, Oversight, and Steward) to any user(s).
 * Reason: I do want the ability to assign all user rights, but sadly, I don't know how to access the PHP file(s), so I can't add that user group. Also, please do the same on Css and Js schoolboard.
 * Will be done soon. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:30, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

I see Extension:MultiUpload disabled globally. Instead please enable Extension:Msupload as recommended on Steward noticeboard.

 * Reason: SyntaxHighlight reason=To allow easy formatting of stylesheet and script examples;VisualEditor reason=To allow easy editing for users who are used to using VisualEditor;TemplateData reason=So templates can display and be used in VisualEditor mode, but the reason to have the TemplateData extension is anyways pretty obvious.

 * Extension 4: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight] ✅
 * Extension 5: [//mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NoTitle]
 * Reason: The wiki is about software/game development so syntax highlighting, uploading images and embedding videos would be great. (for some reason the last requested extension "SyntaxHighlight" gets converted into "[1]".)
 * Will be done soon. I am really sorry but we have some issues with SyntaxHighlight currently. <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 19:30, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

When using the "Insert"->"Media"-Dialog the dialog finds every image on Miraheze (I assume) and not just the images of this wiki. Can that be adjusted? Also I can't seem to upload images when using the Visual Editor. Only when using the "Edit Source"-Editor I have this "Drop files here"-possibility from MSUpload and an "Select Files"-button. That makes inserting images uncomfortable and slow. Edit after some research: Oh the normal way is to use the "Upload file" on the left, and manually inserting the filename into the tag. Wikia had a more direct way to upload and insert images. Is there an extension for that? --Gawag (talk) 23:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Reason: I want to be able to create modules on Css and Js schoolboard, and also edit all user group rights easily.
 * Note: On GroupPermissions's talk page, I saw this post:

'''<div style="color: #000000; background: none; overflow: hidden; page-break-after: avoid; ">Google Code Shutting Down

'''Hello, '''As you are likely aware, Google is shutting down their Google Code service in January of 2016. This extension appears to house its code with Google Code and is at risk to creating broken links and confusion of users in the near future.

'''I’m helping to let folks know about this coming update and provide some helpful links to make this migration easy. I hope you’ll take a moment and migrate your extension to a new hosting solution.

'''For extensions that have a compatible license, you can request developer access to the MediaWiki source repositories for extensions and get a new repository created for you. Alternatively, you may also export your code to other popular repositories such as Github and Bitbucket. Google has provided tools to help with this migration.

Ckoerner (talk) 17:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC)'''

The above is the post I saw. If the GroupPermissions extension is unavailable, at least try to make a extension that is familiar to the GroupPermissions extension. Lemondoge T C GC 23:07, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
