Background for wiki?
Hi another thing. How do I change the background for my wiki. Can I also change it in an other color (Example: Brown ore with a background from yu-gi-oh the game) Here you have an example: http://battlestar.wiki/Accueil European (talk) 16:31, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Please search "Skins" on https://mediawiki.org as I'm not sure what skin you need. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 16:43, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I want the same skin as http://battlestar.wiki/Accueil. And later I wants to edit it for the colors. I don't know if you can make it for me ore? European (talk) 16:54, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * For that you need to copy paste http://battlestar.wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css to your wiki with the file name also being "MediaWiki:Common.css". Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 16:58, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I have done that but it don't work. Maybe I did something wrong? https://yugioh.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&action=edit 17:07, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot about http://battlestar.wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css, I have added this to you. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 17:23, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Do I have something to do ore, ctrl and F5 and then you can see the result? European (talk) 17:29, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, you should. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 17:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I have done that but don't work. Maybe I have to wait a minute. Õhw and do you know what happened with miraheze 5 minutes ago? The page don't work. European (talk) 17:47, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I made a change to something and there was an error, so this got the site down, I am very sorry for any inconveniences that this caused. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 17:48, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Am sorry but the wiki don't work with the CSS. European (talk) 17:51, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

CSS skin
Can you maybe look one more time for me. I want the same skin as http://battlestar.wiki/Accueil. but that you already know. European (talk) 18:15, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I will keep looking but I'm not sure I can tell how to change it. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 03:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Special:RequestWikiQueue/1706
Hello.

First, thank you for creating the wiki.

Well, I have a favor to ask of you about Special:RequestWikiQueue/1706. Can you change the Sitename of this wiki? (ram → Rampdia)

Thanks.

p.s. If setting "Private" of wiki is yes, anyone don't read it? --Garam (talk) 14:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

What group to be allowed to use Renameuser extension
Hello Reception123,

Thanks for your help for the Logo and favicon : )

I made a mistake when creating an account for someone : I created two for her. Jennifer and Jennifer L on cnv.miraheze.org.

Is it possible for me to use the Renameuser extension ?

What group should I be in for that ?

And if it's not possible, could you rename Jennifer L to Jennifer ?

Thanks !

--Dieudo (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Only Stewards can rename people, as it is globally done on all Miraheze wikis Reception123  (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 05:43, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Jenifer L can't be renamed to Jennifer because the latter account already exists. If you created both, just give them access to the first account. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 14:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Would like to add 7 students to this wiki
I am an instructor with 67 students, but would like to start small this year and add only the 7 in my smallest class. I will include them in Wikiversityprivate. Is that OK? A related question you don't need to answer right now is ''how fast can or should Miraheze grow"?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 14:29, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * To clarify on the question that does not yet need to be answered, can over 100 students register new private wikis each year so that they can do their lab reports? If not, how can I help Miraheze grow to the point where such action becomes routine?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 15:39, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

 * I have 2 questions:
 * I have decided that I want to volunteer, specifically in the area of helping newbies set up their accounts if they are using this for educational purposes. I am not much of an expert in wiki software, but I am a custodian on Wikiversity and also very active there (see either this or this).  I teach at Wright State University and all my courses use Wikiversity exclusively (see this or this).   I believe Mirahenze can play a major role in how university education is structured.  I can imagine a day when virtually every college student on earth has a private wiki where they do the bulk of their assigments, with the best work being  published as pages in Wikipedia,  Wikiversity, or perhaps in a refereed journal such as the WikiJournal of Medicine.

 * Yours truly --Guy vandegrift (talk) 15:04, 16 September 2016 (UTC) (AKA wikiversity:User:Guy vandegrift)
 * Hello. I am sorry that you're having trouble registering users. To create an account you need to go to Special:CreateAccount and to request a wiki to Special:RequestWiki. For adding members to your wiki (or other wikis) you go to Special:UserRights and add them to the member group. If you still don't understand something please feel free to ask.

 * Austin Smith is registered on https://wikiversity.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page. But when I try to register User:KTangeman26, ng18, CRind , Emily_R, and Brack_Attack25 onto wikiversity.miraheze, my Special:UserRights page replies: "There is no user by the name "CRind". Check your spelling."  I even tried to go into Special:CreateAccount and create the account for CRind, but was told "Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name." The students created these usernames in class,  using words like "Test" and "wiki" to create the pages.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 18:46, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * This is because they first need to login to the wiki (wikiversity.miraheze.org) Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 18:53, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Equations not always parsing
I want to emphasize that fixing this problem is less important than ensuring the health of this wikifarm, because such technical problems eventually get fixed, while this Miraheze farm has yet to become as established as it needs to be. Someday, I hope this farm (or one like it) becomes larger than Wikipedia! I am a strong supporter of open-source college educaton and can imagine a day when virtually all classroom assignments are done by students in wikitext, and privacy is essential for that to happen. That would involve hosting as many as 20 million wikis!!!

With that long-winded introduction, the equatons at

https://wikiversity.miraheze.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem_on_a_violin_string/Part_1#Alternate_forms_and_Dirac_notation

were not parsed as I am writing this, and they were written over 12 hours ago.

I noticed from the beginning that miraheze is slow to parse equations, and have a simple workaround for this current project. The workaround is kind of complicated, but involves a mirror site at Wikiversity. If you can fix this problem soon, great! But I will assume you have more important things to do if you don't. As I was attempting to research Miraheze, I discovered that a person with your username attempted to publish an article at wikipedia:Draft:Miraheze. I imported the Wikipedia draft  into Wikiversity and checked the new history page, and that is how I discovered how Wikiversity's Reception123 ran into a couple of head-strong Wikiversarians a while back. If you are the same Reception123, you should know I am much easier to get along with, and look forward to a long and beautiful relationship with Miraheze.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 18:34, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello again. I agree that this Math parsing problem is important to fix and therefore will make a Phabricator ticket about it, so someone can look into it. Thank you for supporting Miraheze! Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 08:42, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It is unlikely that students will rely much on the Math extension anytime soon, but a few colleagues and I are attempting to collaborate scientifically; one lives hundreds of miles away. If we get the paper published, I will request an acknowldegment to Miraheze for sponsoring this collaboration.  --Guy vandegrift (talk) 10:14, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Questions about wiki
Hi, I just began to use Miraheze's wiki that was created for me, but I couldn't the button „refresh page“ or sth that removes the cache (is useful in modules to recompile them). Or do I need an extension for this?--Zygimantus (talk) 20:09, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

What is the effect of my confirmation? What can I instantly became steward? If not, I will not waste time and show all to them that I worked in miraheze.

Tidying up unused categories on user pages
I was just wondering what Miraheze's stance is on multiple unused categories on user pages. The following two users User:Materials and User:Heaven2eleven have several unused categories that do not seem to enhance Miraheze in any way. It is not directly evident that these are categories with an intended purpose on Meta or if they are for personal/testing purposes. Can these these be removed to reduce the number of Wanted Categories? Thanks. Borderman  talk 21:46, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. I will proceed in removing these categories. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 21:46, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I have also removed the userpages as one of them was only made up of these categories and one was used for advertising purposes solely. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 21:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

It was supposed to be either Rhiliannexus.miraheze.org -or- rialiannexus.miraheze.or.

Phabricator
If we can't create personal Phabricator calendar events, how else do we change our "Availability" field on our profile to indicate when we are not available? Amanda (talk) 10:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see why the "availability" is so important but unfortunately I don't think there is another way. The reason personal calendar events shouldn't be created is that other people on Phabricator aren't interested in personal events, and the Calendar is used for public Miraheze events. If everyone created their personal events, it would be full of events and would be messy. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 10:58, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Wiki Request
Hey there,

I mistakenly requested a new wiki at a custom domain (request 3034).

Could I request that the domain be, rather, a subdomain styled as: overon.miraheze.org?

Thanks for your time.

All the best, -Veldias

DNS Configuration for New Wiki
Hello! You created a new wiki for me earlier today (#3035, arms.institute). I can visit it at armsinstitute.miraheze.org, and I've configured the arms.institute domain to use ns1.miraheze.org and ns2.miraheze.org as its nameservers at my registrar, but it seems like there are no DNS records.

https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/arms.institute

https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/arms.institute

Also, please configure SSL via Let's Encrypt.

Thank you!

Can you may add infoboxes to this wiki, It keeps showing this error: https://alteriwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox, Thanks in advance. European (talk) 17:21, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * can help you, as I'm not too good with infoboxes. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#AF91525"> contribs  ) 05:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * You need to import Module:Infobox, Module:Navbar, and Module:Arguments from wikipedia. Basically, anywhere you see "Script error: No such module "Something"", this means that you need to import Module:Something from an external source. I also strongly recommend importing MediaWiki:Common.css, or at least everything from  up to, but not including  . If you need any help, be sure to let me know. Cheers --  Void  Whispers 19:17, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

I still don't understand, Can you may help me to add all this stuff to the wiki? It would be a lot easier for me. Frestovenia (talk) 12:07, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * All of the modules you need should have been imported. All you need now is for a local administrator (sysop) on the wiki to import MediaWiki:Common.css. This will make it so that Infoboxes will display properly. I've made it so that Template:Documentation does not require modules to function, but that's all I can do.

One question
I was looking at the create wiki special page and its pretty easy to understand, however, want do I put into the "database" name field. CnocBride (talk) 21:50, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * In the wiki requests that you attend, clicking on "Create wiki" in any request, that is filled automatically (unless the user requests a custom domain). The name of the database is the URL of the wiki + the wiki suffix (for example: metawiki = meta.miraheze.org, thiswikiwiki = thiswiki.miraheze.org). In the case of custom domains, this field must be filled manually following the above (for example: example.com = examplewiki, thiswiki.tk = thiswikiwiki).

CnocBride (talk) 18:12, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * That sounds great, your help would be really appreciated. First of all you should probably read Contributing and Tech:Change a wiki's logo, then, as most of us did, you just learn from seeing someone else do it, and from experience. Please tell me if you have any questions or if there's something you don't understand, and I'll be happy to help. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 18:23, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

I understand the basics of enabling a certain extension on a wiki. I'm sure I'll get it eventually. CnocBride (talk) 21:56, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok. If you want to help all you need to do is keep an eye on open Phabricator requests (or make a Herald rule that subscribes you and sends you an email) that have the "Configuration" project. You can start by trying to do your own task :) Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 06:35, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Reception, I have made changes to the LocalSettings.php for my request on phabricator (no. T1995). I forked the LocalSettings and I have checked it to ensure its correct. It seems like it will work I just need to get approval from you's to merge it into your LocalSettings.php. I'm just having a bit of difficulty with this. Could you explain how I submit my changes? Cheers &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs 12:17, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It is easier (especially when you are learning) to use the GitHub.com editor. You will just need to go here and click the pencil icon, the rest should be automatically done since you already have a fork. After you're finished adding your changes, you scroll down and give a title to your pull request, then submit it. After that, me or any other sysadmins will check your pull request, and if there are no issues with it, will merge it so that it can be used.

P.S.: Your signature was missing a  tag at the end, making my message unreadable. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 12:33, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

New wiki request
Hi. I requested a new wiki from this wiki network, and my first request gave me a red notice (upon submission) saying "non-alphanumeric characters" are not allowed in the wiki (name?/url?). So I changed the url to lack a hyphen, but then got a red notice that told me I already submitted a request. 2 things:
 * 1) It may be less confusing if you prevent that "non-alphanumeric" red notice from appearing whenever you submit a new wiki request. Maybe instead put the warning in the submission form itself.
 * 2) How will I know when the new wiki is set-up? Will I get a message on my Talk Page, or do I have to constantly check the url I initially submitted? (I'd prefer a message on my Talk Page though). This is another thing that could be told in (or after submitting) the wiki request form. --UltimateKuriboh (talk) 19:13, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No comment on your first question, but for your second one, wiki creations are always followed by a talkpage notification. Also, if you have an email attached to your account, you will also recieve an email notification. I personally have been trying to automate the (talk page) notification process, with some success. From what you've stated, it looks like we may need to tweak the submission throttle to only apply to valid submissions. However, you should be able to make your request again (if not, please supply us with any details). Cheers -- Void  Whispers 22:06, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

 * No, it is not. I take this account as an impersonation, and since they are better fit to do such action than me in my CVT quality I've asked a steward to lock this account on those grounds. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 16:05, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Autoblock
I hard-blocked my own account and got caught by an autoblock! Test user (talk) 16:03, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * You can't block accounts on Meta and there is no evidence of an autoblock. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 16:05, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I meant on the Public Test Wiki. I'm autoblocked again! Test user (talk) 16:06, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I've removed the testwiki autoblock, but I won't help in future situations that you could have avoided. -- Void  Whispers 16:56, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

AGAIN!
I don't know why admins can't block users if they're themselves (auto)blocked. Test user (talk) 18:59, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Blocked
Why have I been blocked from editing a wiki which everyone should be able to test on? Test user (talk) 19:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

User Humut needs to be globally banned
They are a sock of Amanda. I have also received your message on WikiIndex and taken remedial action against their terrorism there, and I recommend oversighting all their attempt to leak information or dox users. GethN7 (talk) 13:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, should've caught that earlier. I'm not a steward, but I will ask one about the oversight issue. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 13:09, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Encouraging use of Miraheze by Wikiversity users

 * The Wikimedia Foundation copyright rules sometimes causes problems with users on Wikiversity. I posted this note encouraging Wikiversarians to use freecollegeproject.miraheze.org for "questionable" uploads.  I added a few words about the need to also obey rules here on Miraheze.  Unfortunately I know nothing about those rules.  Read this if you want to:
 * Wikiversity:Wikiversity:Colloquium
 * Please read this regrading copyright on Miraheze. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 16:25, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * For some reason I didn't get your ping on my meta page, but it came through to my email (where it was dumped to an obscure folder). I deleted the comment.  Thanks for intervening.  See here--Guy vandegrift (talk) 22:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * You did not get the ping on Meta because it's probably not set in your preferences. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 05:16, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Here's a copyright question: A student wrote a term paper but forgot to release it to CC, but there was clear understanding that this is why I assigned it (I told the class they would be graded according to whether it promotes opencourseware learning)  She left the college and I am unable to contact her.  Two questions:  Can I post it on a private wiki and state that it may not be copied and used without the author's permission (presumably under "fair use"?)  If I can, is it permissible to post it on a public wiki in the same way?  The purpose of publishing it is not to share information, but to show colleagues what a student can do with such an assignment.  What she did was write 100 multiple choice questions, some good and some not so good, with an explanation preceding each question for an openstax astronomy book.  --Guy vandegrift (talk) 23:42, 30 August 2017 (UTC)A
 * Hi! If you cannot get the permission from the original author, unfortunately, it cannot be on public wiki which utilizes Creative Commons. So answer for "If I can, is it permissible to post it on a public wiki in the same way?" is "no". (If your wiki is licensed under non-Creative Commons license, it's a bit different story.) Answer for the private wiki is bit complex: It may be permissible for you to use it under 17 U.S. Code 110. And because you are a professor and you got the material via assignment, I think we can assume you have implicit permission on the use of copyrighted texts. As such, it may be permissible to privately store it under (Non-Creative Commons way of course) and use it for class stuff only. I am not licensed to practice law anywhere, though. (Long way of saying IANAL) &mdash; <tt>revi</tt>  05:49, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see a strong fair use case here, though there may be one for private distribution. Especially not if you republish the whole thing.  There's no problem in posting something under a different license on a wiki -- this is what the "unless otherwise noted" part is all about.  Barring some kind of employment by the university, I doubt there's a legal basis for reposting this student's work publicly in the absence of explicit consent.  On a private wiki?  Well, teachers have been sharing student work and example tests with graders and grad students for centuries. --Labster (talk) 06:19, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Solved! The student sent me and an active Wikiversity administrator permission to post it anonymously (see Wikiversity:File:Anonymous Life in the Universe.pdf). Also, FYI I posted something about Miraheze on the talk page to Miraheze that I am certain will not be reverted at mediawikiwiki:Topic:Txcb22kem1b4jbp7--Guy vandegrift (talk) 15:51, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Friends
Hello Reception. I would start contributing with wiki creator and I can help with create wiki (such as requested), and I already read the Wiki creators and Wiki creators guide. :-) Sptr (talk) 01:32, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Since it is sysadmins discretion, I'd say even though you're fairly new here, we could give it a try. I can technically grant the right, but it's easier if a steward does it, so I'll ask one. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 05:14, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. I will wait :-). And I think can use a confirmed user group to exempt from captcha. But it no problem to wait for 4 day Sptr (talk) 10:25, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I have not seen you active for the past days. Please show some activity if you are still interested in wiki creator. --Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 18:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Help needed
Hi, I see you upgraded to the latest version of MediaWiki sometime in August. I'm aware of the tangent, but is it possible for you or another admin to help this guy? He's looking to move a wiki, but he's relying on that extension (I think with no other option) and having trouble with it. --UltimateKuriboh (talk) 01:45, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the AuthManager extension so I wouldn't be able to provide any good advice. --Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 05:23, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Helo
Where is my rights http://test.miraheze.org
 * ✅. In the future please be patient. --Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 18:38, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Another copyright question
A colleague wrote a sample lab that I posted at https://freecollegeproject.miraheze.org/wiki/File:WSUL_lab_report_template.pdf
 * Can I post this under "fair use" using his oral permission? Do I need to include his name?  Can I post it as a Wright State Document (since I am an employee of that university?)  If I can't post it on the public wiki freecollegeproject.miraheze, can I post it on the private wright.mirahez so I can at least show it to students during a lecture?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 12:44, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * (PS. Personal opinion) I'd prefer if it is written. commons:COM:Email templates is a good template, and it's easy to use. &mdash; <tt>revi</tt>  05:28, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I am 100% committed to the survival of Miraheze. That means we can't take legal risks, but also that we shouldn't waste our time evaluating potential risks if there is another way.  From my perspective, there are two possibilities: (1) Miraheze needs to be careful about copyright infringement, or (2) Many in Miraheze (falsely) believe that this caution is necessary.... I don't care which statement is correct, and don't want Miraheze wasting valuable time on this.  In the future, I will post files with questionable copyright issues somewhere else, and link to them out of Wikimedia and Miraheze wikis.  At the moment, the only place I know about is subpages to my university site at http://www.wright.edu/~guy.vandegrift/.  Give me some time and I will move all questionable files there.  At the moment, my university is too preoccupied with budgetary and other issues to notice.  If you know of a better place where we can move these "risky documents", let me know.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 16:03, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It took me a few minutes, but I think I found a good place for these files. So far, I only moved one, which is a link out of my main Wikiversity Lake Campus page, which now looks like this:

*Lab report template at two locations: obsolete and preferred

Translator issue
I noticed that "translate" right has been added to confirmed user group but I still can't update some outdated translations on the Main Page or CheckUser. When I try to edit the translations, it says "You need translation rights to translate messages."--Tiger (talk) 13:13, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why since you're "autoconfirmed". To be sure, I've now made you "confirmed" so please try now. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 16:52, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I've just made a translation. Maybe the autoconfirmed group doesn't inherit rights that confirmed users are granted?--Tiger (talk) 22:17, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realized. This was fixed by also adding it to the autoconfirmed group. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 15:39, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

FAQ
I mentioned on the Administrators' noticeboard that your post-edit of FAQ needs additional editing. 16:14 21-Oct-2017
 * Oh, sorry. I didn't see the post. I will read it. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 16:16, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

No, you still have a paragraph starting "When using this extension" but you deleted the paragraph that says which extension! More to the point, if dismissable site notices are only available globally, then the reader of FAQ will never need to deal with MediaWiki:Sitenotice_id. If the reader does, then I am confused, and FAQ doesn't rectify the confusion. 16:31 21-Oct-2017
 * I've updated it to make more sense. DismissableSiteNotice is enabled globally, but that does not mean that it only applies to global site notices. -- Void  Whispers 16:51, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

I see the distinction. There are a few typos left, such as a red-link to Content policy and "poliies" on the next line.

And here is a FAQ for you. Who is following me around on TheMirror and uploading a helpful photo just before I finish using Special:Upload? It seems that my File: namespace is a view to Wikimedia Commons, and if I should try to load a filename that they have, it recommends that I use theirs. 00:27 23-Oct-2017
 * This is because of InstantCommons which allows any non-WMF wikis to be able to use Commons files. If you don't need/want it it can be disabled. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 05:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

No, it's fine. It's helpful, just not explained anywhere. 13:04 23-Oct-2017
 * Since more people have asked about this, it's a great question to be added to the FAQ. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 13:06, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks; thought I was losing my mind, etc.; I propose this text to ask the question the way the reader would ask it, and provide specifics for the Phab request:

Why does it say the file I'm trying to upload is already there?
All Miraheze wikis begin with the InstantCommons extension installed, which gives wikis outside the Wikimedia Foundation access to media in Wikimedia Commons. When you use  to add a photo to your wiki, the response suggests that the photo is already uploaded! This simply means there is a photo in Wikimedia Commons by the same name. You can use that photo immediately. Or, if you prefer your own photo, you can complete the upload. That name, on your wiki, will now refer to your photo.

If you don't want your wiki to work this way, then request that InstantCommons be disabled on your wiki.
 * Thanks for the more detailed explanation. The only thing I changed is the word extension, since it was transfered from an extension to an integration in the MediaWiki software. --Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 16:12, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
