Storage server
I read the discussion on IRC about database storage space and I suggest one of these servers for the databases and images. They have a lot more space then the SSD cloud servers. D4rkst4r (talk) 20:24, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * @D4rkst4r: a RamNode (our current host, so RamNode is actually preferred if possible) 512MB CVZ has 25GB (SSD-cached) space more, 1TB bandwidth more and 1 more CPU, all for the same price. So Vultr is not an option :) Southparkfan (talk) 21:16, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Request- Current All The Tropes Dump
A while ago [at Orain] I got a copy of ATT dump file to make a private copy of ATT as an educational project. The dump file currently available at archive.org is dated August 2014. I asked in the ATT forum here about getting a current dump and was told by GethN7 to make that request here. Thanks!
 * By current, you mean 'just most recent revisions'? &mdash; revi  15:50, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Backup pulled from archive.org (Izanagi.miraheze.org)
Hi or anyone else,

Imported backup xml from archive.org. The problem now is that none of the Category pages seem to be listing their respective pages. Could you look into this plz? Also, changes I make to Mediawiki:Common.css won't show up (not immediately anyways despite refreshing cache). Oberyn (talk)

NOTE: About the categories: The pages that were not being displayed in their categories were put there within a condition specified in a template. Normal categories using the Oberyn (talk)
 * Hi, can you give some examples of this? The MediaWiki:Common.css issue should be fixed now btw. Southparkfan (talk) 15:50, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Visual Editor Error
When pressing "Edit" It does nothing really but reloading the page,

If when pressing "Edit Source" It works perfectly!

I guess its a Visual Editor Error.

The Wiki is: development.miraheze.org

Dormancy Policy
Hey fellow Miraheze community members. NDKilla, new steward, here to propose discussion! Current drafts and edits to the proposed Dormancy Policy draft haven't really received much input. I've created a highly edited version of the draft, and would like community input before starting to implement it. Please leave comments on the proposals here or on the respective draft's talk page! Note that I propose moving (and leaving a redirect) of the accepted proposal to Dormancy Policy and making sure users see it! (maybe include it on Special:RequestWiki. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 19:24, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Comments

 * My draft as proposal drafter. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 19:24, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I support most part of the policy, but as I said on the talkpage I don't think that we should keep wikis that were never edited, but the rest I think is great. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:05, 25 December 2015 (UTC) As for the new changes now I agree fully to this policy. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 08:23, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Nothing to say really.
 * It looks like the wiki will be closed after 180 days of inactivity/changes. If that's still true I support it. Bulrush (talk) 14:03, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * My version of the draft states that wiki's may be locked after 60 days of inactivity but they may of course be unlocked. They are eligible for deletion after 180 days of inactivity. Wikis may also request exemptions from this policy. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 21:51, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Global Interface editor + Questions
Hi, if it is possible counting 1 January 2016, I would need "Global Interface editor" so I can place notices on wikis. Also, do we still have the inactivity script? And how will I do the closing, will I use LockDB? Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:39, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Actual closing will happen by any MediaWiki sysadmin (tutorial will follow shortly). All wiki creators will get a global group I guess. Southparkfan (talk) 11:23, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, so closing will be done on the DBlist. Then, is there a way to make the DB list accessible by wiki creators? (I don't think there is any way of making a group on command line that limits editing one file). Reception123  (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 11:56, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
