Can we please use ISO 8601/RFC 3339 dates here? As an American, I am confuse. Also they'll sort better. Vorticity (talk) 22:06, 20 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree. It's easier to read, and it sorts nicely. The dates should be in YYYY-MM-DD:
 * 2015-08-26
 * 2015-08-26
 * 2015-09-03
 * 2015-09-13

Other ways to donate money
For people who don't want to use paypal, what other ways are there to donate money?
 * Unfortunately, there are no others ways than PayPal currently. Reception123  (talk) (  contribs  ) 13:03, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I would also appreciate a way of donating without signing up for a PayPal account. How about a simple Stripe checkout? --Liam (t) 17:30, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * That is a good idea. I personally agree that its best for us to have multiple ways of payment. I will have to ask our financial manager, Labster}}. [[User:Reception123|Reception123 (talk) ( 'C' ) 15:06, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I would love to see a crowfounding site added. On a wiki where "Miraheze" has page, the page could include directly the link to donate to the project, very much better than paypal, because anyone could donate. Wikipedia had a page, but it says that one of the owner requested its deletion. But why??

 * We did have crowdfunding when we started this project, and we might do a fundraiser in the meantime. We are trying to look into new methods of donation, but the issue is some require a bank account for Miraheze which we do not have yet. Reception123 (talk) ( 'C' ) 15:20, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Amazing
Are there other expenses that are missing?

How is this place so cheap to run?

The high monthly amount for RamNode is just $33.42?

I saw $12.48 for NameCheap, was that annual?

The $6.00 for the monthly backup looks cheap too.

Name renewal
How long was the domain name renewal for?:

2016-07-10	Name.com	Miraheze	-$49.95	$480.49	Domain registration

Thanks!
 * That was not Miraheze's domain name. It was an attempt to buy the expiring orain.org domain name. Miraheze.org was renewed in earlier in the year for 1 year for $12.50. John (talk) 14:27, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Adding a currency column
We might want to consider adding a currency column

Small donations

Details of hosting costs
Are the details of hosting costs published anywhere? Can we set up a page for that on Meta? --Robert Sterbal area code (412) 977-3526 100.6.115.31 12:53, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Category:Servers has it. — revi  12:59, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Just to point out, you were the one who started that table. Reception123 (talk) ( 'C' ) 13:35, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * please add a link to finance page that links to the Category:Servers page

replace Hosting costs with Hosting Costs Thanks! Rsterbal (talk) 18:22, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Wrong link for Nonbinary Wiki
Link for Nonbinary Wiki goes to a 404. Presumably, the correct link should be nonbinary.wiki. K599 (talk) 18:33, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the report. This is now ✅, though I've used the Miraheze subdomain, which redirects to the custom domain so as to still use a MirahezeMagic pseudo-interwiki wikilink rather than an external link. Looks like the database name, rather than the subdomain, was used by, so this has been ✅. Thanks again. Dmehus (talk) 18:38, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
