Password Reset With No Email
I made my account and randomly generated the password with my password manager. For some reason, the password manager did not save the password, and I also got logged out. I tried to reset my password, but since I never added an email to my account, I (unsurprisingly) got no password reset email. Is there any way I can reset my password if I added no email to my account? Sorry if I'm not supposed to post here without an account, but I don't want to create a second one. 2602:61:71F4:D600:31D4:3E04:9845:EE0A 19:19, 20 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * It depends on a few factors but the chance is extremely low, especially if it was a brand new account. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  19:26, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Discussion: Central notice changes
This is for the sake of having an open discussion on the changes proposed in this RfC, though I won't really touch much on the last proposal that was added by another person (of course, you're welcome to talk about that as well nonetheless). Hopefully this comment will at least make it clear what the proposals I brought up are intended to mean. Also, please ask nicely if you would like clarity on anything at all.

The first one to discuss is the following:

Central notices with the purpose of soliciting participation from wiki communities for an event or a discussion should last while that event or discussion is open for people to participate. As in, the central notice would only be removed after the event or discussion has closed.

Let's start by saying that this is not changing what a central notice is made for. It's not saying that every discussion gets a central notice, what it's saying applies in the instance when the people who make central notices decide that a discussion will get a central notice, which is still at their judgement. This talk page comment might show some insight on what such judgement it is, which again they would still retain. What changes is specifically the duration of such particular central notices, in that it would be in relation to the discussion that it would be notifying of.

The discussions being referred to can be gleaned from Special:CentralNotice (click "Show archived campaigns" to see the older ones). It is what is meant to gather people to provide their input and feedback, and this description fits, for example, Requests for Comment or Requests for Stewardship. And if they have yet to be closed by the closer, then the closer presumably decided that it needs more time to gather more comments before a conclusion can be drawn. If so, the methods used to notify of the discussion's existence should get continued use to gather more discussion from people.

Another proposal to discuss is the following:

A campaign type can be set for central notice campaigns, allowing users to opt out of specific campaign types in their preferences, specifically in the "Banners" section. Here is a proposal for what campaign types Miraheze should use:
 * Fundraising
 * Surveys
 * Maintenance
 * Requests for Comment
 * Requests for Stewardship
 * Requests for Community Director

To make it clear how to use preferences to opt-out of campaign types, some text instructing people how to do so should be added to central notices.

In technical terms, campaign types are configured with $wgCentralNoticeCampaignTypes in LocalSettings.php.

This can presumably work with ManageWiki to apply for a whole wiki. To sysadmins, this would presumably be done by using a custom variable to set $wgDefaultUserOptions['centralnotice-display-campaign-type-whatever'] = 0.

Now, in regards to how to decide on the campaign types to be used, I'd say that having the communities' consensus is still relevant, in the case of disputes over what should be grouped together or partitioned. And the RfC does show a dispute over whether Requests for Global Sysop should be included, excluded, or grouped with another type. So it would at least be useful to have some sort of discussion with wiki communities to figure out what's best.

In response to other comments in the RfC: Including Requests for Global Sysop in the list of campaign types does not mean that every single one of that request gets a central notice, it is meant to mean that a RfGS would be allowed to get a central notice, which would still have the judgement of the people who make central notices to actually get one. And people should be able to decide for themselves if they want to opt out of seeing certain central notices, and I figure that if someone desires a tool to stop seeing a certain kind of notification, they likely aren't interested in what's being notified about in the first place. Finally, it was concluded in this RfC that there is consensus for community-oriented posts to be posted on Miraheze's social media accounts, therefore a community-elected role would be appropriate.

Feel free to say your thoughts on any of these topics. K599 (talk) 15:29, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * And will there be a way to disable CNotice for some, and leave only fundraising? YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 15:33, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @YellowFrogger As said in the explanation of how campaign types work, people should be able to go into their preferences and opt-out of the types that they don't want to see. K599 (talk) 16:27, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * But there has to be an option to hide it across the whole wiki (not just in preferences), but yes, all visitors to a particular wiki would be better. Nobody is obligated to see CNotice either, so it had to have that. Showing only CNotice for fundraising, which is important for Miraheze to maintain the wikis maintenance, the others don't matter (or only matter in Meta). YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 19:59, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @YellowFrogger I mentioned above that there's presumably a way to make campaign types work with ManageWiki, though I suppose a sysadmin should comment on the method I talked about. K599 (talk) 20:19, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that the list of campaign types proposed in my initial comment is based on past central notices as seen on Special:CentralNotice. Of course, feel free to discuss any desired changes to the list. K599 (talk) 03:04, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * For some added context, the banner preferences can be seen in Special:Preferences, where it's currently the extension's defaults. These options have been unused probably due to being unrelated to Miraheze. K599 (talk) 03:46, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This talk page discussion has a review of the proposed list of campaign types. In response:
 * Okay, but I would prefer that "Community Notices" have a page that explains what would fall under this label. Then this page would be linked, if possible, from the related user preference and, if implemented, the related ManageWiki setting proposed in the community wishlist proposal. K599 (talk) 01:29, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it'd be useful to consider above suggestions like the instructions thing as well. K599 (talk) 03:25, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Finding a conclusion on campaign types
It would be good to at least have some course of action that outlines whether or not this wikifarm will make use of campaign types, and what those campaign types will be. K599 (talk) 03:51, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * There was a talk page discussion that reviewed a list of campaign types, but it seems that no sort of action has been concretely decided on.
 * Reiterating what's been explained before, campaign types refers to Special:Preferences, a user preference that is used to choose what types of central notices to have displayed for your own account.
 * Currently, as can be seen by checking your preferences, the configured campaign types don't particularly reflect how Miraheze uses central notices (see Special:CentralNotice). Hence the suggestion above for a more appropriate list of campaign types. The description for the preference also makes reference to Wikimedia rather than this wikifarm, which probably confuses people.
 * This community wishlist proposal would also need campaign types to be configured to be useful. I'll also note the suggestion of using ManageWiki on a custom variable to set $wgDefaultUserOptions['centralnotice-display-campaign-type-whatever'] = 0.
 * If campaign types do get properly configured and used, it would be helpful to take the suggestion of including some text in central notices that instructs people how to use the user preference and ManageWiki setting, to make it clear that the banner isn't forced to appear.


 * I still want some sort of concrete conclusion on this, as I do think this would be helpful to people. K599 (talk) 23:03, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd still like a resolution on this. It would be a useful feature for allowing individual control over what notices are shown to people. K599 (talk) 22:35, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Additional suggestion: Make a page detailing CentralNotice
I would still like a response to the above section on campaign types, and also have another suggestion to make.

If campaign types come into use, a page that details central notices, mainly the campaign types as stated before, would help people understand what these notices are for. Some other info, like what Wikimedia's pages cover, would likely also be a bit helpful. And to allow people to easily find such a page, it should at least be linked from user preferences and any ManageWiki settings related to central notices. K599 (talk) 01:16, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Do not include quotes on the page preview?
Hi, How not to include for example a quote when previewing the pages? When I say "preview", I mean when you are on a page, you click on the link and you can preview a page without clicking on it. Mario Encyclopedia for example does this (https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario): when you hover over a link, you only see the introductory text and not the quotes, templates, etc. Thanks in advance.

Owner user group on wikis
A wiki must have an owner role, esp. on large wikis with a huge moderating team. When multiple bureaucrats are granted, and once they abuse their rights, nobody but stewards can stop them, and that's unacceptable.

To solve it, an owner group should be created, with the right to revoke bureaucrats. Owners should be able to grant others to be owners, however, they should be 100% trusted. For now, it is possible to create such a group with a lot of "hacks" (complex ways), but a default existing owner group will be nice. When a wiki is being adopted, the owner role is being granted to the adopter.

Thank you for reading all of these. Owner group is really needed on huge wikis. Emojiwiki (talk) 04:37, 22 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Wikis don't have "owners", they are instead 'owned' by its local community and local consensus is ultimately what will always prevail. As such, I think an "owner" group might cause confusion by making users think that only one user has ultimate control of a wiki. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 04:40, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * In theory, though, it is possible to have a "super group," defined by local policy, that cannot be revoked by anyone other than yourself, but the policy would have to be defined before users start contributing to your wiki, or there'd need to be overwhelming consensus on your wiki to establish that group. Still, though, I would personally advise against calling the group . Some wikis use the term ,  , or  , all of which should sound better than "owner." Dmehus (talk) 05:15, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * That's also OK. BTW I am surprised by this fast replying speed, which is faster than English Wikipedia. Emojiwiki (talk) 05:22, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * More detais: therefore, the right to do any group right modifications should be reassigned to owners and not bureaucrats. Emojiwiki (talk) 05:28, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * This imo is entirely unnecessary at a global level. If it is necessary, the tools are available to build it in naturally, and the arrangement should be made in considering the needs of the specific wiki. It's not that complex really, just takes understanding of how the platform operates and asking if uncertain. Otherwise the best arrangement Miraheze can offer is the default setup MediaWiki itself provides, which is what we do.
 * Aside from that, you're free to 'hoard' group assignment, but it sounds like bureaucrat would be obsolete + you'd have a very inefficient system. --Raidarr (talk) 15:09, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Constantly being logged out
So, when I log in here on meta, it just logs me in. But when I go to a different miraheze tab that is loaded before logging in (it says im logged out), instead of it becoming logged in, when I reload the meta tab I have used to login, it just logs me out. This becomes really annoying because I need to log out, clear my cache, and login again every time I want to click another miraheze tab.

Unable to import Template:Infobox
Hi. I've been attempting to import Template:Infobox for my wiki using Special:Import, and while the importing process appears to be successful, the templates themselves are broken. Going to the page itself, for example, produces a slew of Script and Lua errors about missing modules. The thing is, I tried importing them as well, and the log implies that they're already 'installed,' so to speak.

Is there some way to "merge" 2 wikis

 * The best way to "merge" a wiki is to export the contents of one wiki and import it into another. You can try to make a DataDump of your wiki and try to import it on the other wiki to see if it works and if it doesn't then you can make a Phabricator task asking that an XML dump be imported.

Apology to Qualitipedia
This is a message to everyone in the Qualitipedia community.

Hello. I was a 'co writer' (unoffically, as in I contributed to it) for one of the rants about the Qualitipedia network of wikis, the one from Random-ness wiki. I'm sorry I didn't write any good points and saying the wikis enforce opinions. I apologise from the bottom of my heart. This is an apology for all the users and admins but I can't post this on the Qualitipedia meta wiki or anywhere else since I'd have to be autoconfirmed and there's nothing I can add to these wikis to get me to that position.

I found about this because I used to go on the qualitipedia meta wiki trying to understand what these wikis are about. I will tell you while I don't hate reception wikis/Qualitipedia anymore I still don't like them and they confuse me. At best, they're not really my sort of thing. However, I'm not going to make that the community's problem and rant about it anymore. Other people's better articulated arguments I agree with, simply. I failed to express that myself.

Basically, I'm sorry for what I wrote. Writing this I hope will help me put my mind at ease, since this has been worrying me both day and night. I don't want to interact with the wikis any more than this since they don't bring me any good feelings, but that's just personal and with the topic and point of the wikis in general and I'm not going to make anyone hear about that anymore. I wish the wikis luck on improving. Raichu&#39;s Endless Nights (talk) 21:00, 26 February 2022 (UTC)


 * hi raichu, long-time lurker from qualitipedia here who at the same time has a neutral/constructive perspective on the wikis. i have linked this apology on qualitipedia meta so others can see it. while i don't approve of the randomness wiki rant (and i also see that you blanked it once with a "we're sorry") as like most rants they have many destructive points that overwhelm any constructivism that can be rescued, it's good that you've come to peace with your personal grievances with the wikis. you're free to dislike them, but the line where we have a problem is when the hate gets out of control to the point where they act irrational and with the intent of eliminating the wikis, which of course goes agaisnt our own intentions of improving them. it's good that you're delimiting yourself there, we (or at least i) really appreciate it as it's a first amongst the hatedom. we might as well make it more clearer in the future that everyone there is free to have their own opinion on media, and encourage them to use qualitipedia as a sort of basis to form their own, plus qualitipedia won't necessarily always reflect your own opinions. cheers. Yonydesk (talk) 00:25, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * While blogs are likely restricted to autoconfirmed (page creation), you should be able to open a discussion on the talk of the main page to achieve a similar end. If you look into it, let me know if you can't. Otherwise Yony has a good introspective here. You're welcome to your opinions and indeed, to express any particular critique/outstanding issues you have on the QP central wiki. As far as I know you haven't abused multiple accounts nor been uncivilized on the wikis themselves, and that's really where the line is drawn. I'll be going over a number of reports/complaints tomorrow and addressing in a local capacity where able.
 * For whatever reason I've gotten myself into the wikis for their improvement, as a unique aside to my Steward role. It's something I've considered quitting several times as frankly, the standard fare of the wikis is also not my thing. But, they need guidance to be in a better place and at least fend for themselves in a way that won't bring trouble to global volunteers, so I do what I can and welcome anyone's input, including yours to help see that happen. In any case, take care. --Raidarr (talk) 14:37, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

There is a problem in the wiki page
I have a problem with some of my wiki articles maybe it's related to some template in an article (example : https://tolololpedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Fakihnesia) I hope it gets fixed soon because it's annoying and what is "Scribunto" ChioGaming2007 (talk) 00:51, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I repaired the page you linked. What seems to have happened is that somehow the content model of the revision became "Scribunto" while that of the page remained "wikitext". I don't know how this happened, and you should probably open a ticket on Phabricator if it happens to other pages in the future. For reference, this had to be fixed using the API, as follows:  — Arcversin (talk) 03:33, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not just that article, another article is the same how I change all the articles at the same time ChioGaming2007 (talk) 03:40, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You'd need to run that script (with adjustments for page name) on all affected pages. Since there seem to be a lot of them, I could do that via a bot if you'd like. — Arcversin (talk) 03:45, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

 * It's in progress. — Arcversin (talk) 05:27, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I suspect what we're trying to fix is a symptom of something worse, the wiki is giving off errors on numerous pages, keep an eye on T8842 on Phabricator. — Arcversin (talk) 05:44, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * So what should I do? ChioGaming2007 (talk) 08:47, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Creating pages on Terrible TV Shows Wiki.
I want permission to create pages on Terrible TV Shows Wiki. SonicFTW (talk) 06:54, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * This request should be made on that wiki. — Arcversin (talk) 07:00, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * SonicFTW, in addition to what Arcversin said above, please note that I have procedurally moved this thread as out of scope of Administrators' noticeboard to community noticeboard where it is now more in scope. If you are not able to ask on-wiki, you can try posting the user talk page of any local administrator by making that request. You should be able to create a user talk page message. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 09:20, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * To be frank, I think you may have been misunderstanding the scope of this wiki (Meta for all of Miraheze, but not Qualitipedia in particular) given the blank requests for adminship and this request. The central wiki for requests is Qualitipedia Central, though your request can be resolved by making a request on the main talk page of the wiki you'd like rights on. Please keep this in mind. Nonetheless I have ✅ your request in my local capacity. --Raidarr (talk) 13:37, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Should there be a Miraheze Incubator wiki?
Recently, I submitted a wiki request (#23213), which got declined for two reasons:
 * 1) The wiki creator who declined the request suggested running a community discussion on it, because it's related to the Miraheze community wikis.
 * 2) The wiki wouldn't be useful in many circumstances.

About the incubator wiki
An incubator wiki would basically be a storage place for users' mini-wikis, similar to Scratchpad on Fandom. Mini-wikis are like wikis, except that they don't have their own subdomain. Mini-wikis would be held indefinitely, unlike Scratchpad. Miraheze needs a wiki like this, because users must request wikis, and requests aren't always approved. This wiki would give users a chance to build up a mini-wiki before they request a wiki.

Benefits of an incubator wiki

 * 1) It would give users a place to build up a mini-wiki before making it a full wiki.
 * 2) Users wouldn't need to request for a mini-wiki.
 * 3) Users can create content without worrying about templates/modules. (Suggested by Arcversin)

Downsides of an incubator wiki

 * 1) Because users wouldn't need to request for a mini-wiki, there could be some Content Policy-violating mini-wikis. However, this problem could be solved by having a page for reporting mini-wikis. Alternatively, mini-wikis could be requested, but that would defeat the purpose of the wiki.

Vote
This section is for voting on the discussion. When voting, please state why you cast your vote (if you vote oppose, for example, give a reason for voting oppose). Tali64³ (talk) 18:46, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1)  as a substantial, if not an entire, duplication of ,  , and more narrowly focused incubation wikis (i.e., Uncyclomedia Incubator, etc.). If you require any permissions to assist with those wikis, you can request permissions locally. Nonetheless, the proponent is thanked for starting the discussion. Dmehus (talk) 18:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Comments
As I mentioned in the request, I don't know of any circumstances where having created a "mini-wiki" would have an affect on whether a wiki request would get approved, so I don't see much of a use in that case. However, I do see a very good use case for mini-wikis, creating an environment for users to create content without having to worry about importing templates/modules and making them work. This&mdash;in a more limited fashion&mdash;was actually the use case for my essentially moribund althistorywiki that never really got off the ground (even made a template importing bot for it). — Arcversin (talk) 18:57, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I see that you've had scratchpadwiki reopened, would you like you like to close this request? — Arcversin (talk) 19:31, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I think I'll leave it open and see what the rest of the community thinks. Tali64³ (talk) 19:35, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, let me know what you decide. I'm happy to have you be involved with  as well, and am sure Hypercane would be as well. Dmehus (talk) 19:36, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would indeed be happy to have them be involved with the Scratchpad Wiki. It would also be a bit less lonely as well now. Hypercane  <font color="#8152C6">(  talk <font color="#8152C6">) 19:46, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

 * You can also create other custom groups. The ones you already have in the template are (the code can be copied from Wikipedia):
 * upper-alpha (A, B, C, D, E...)
 * lower-roman (i, ii, iii, iv, v...)
 * upper-roman (I, II, III, IV, V...)
 * lower-greek (α, β, γ, δ, ε...)
 * note, which by default will display note 1, note 2, etc.
 * But I believe you can name these groups anything and make as many as you want.
 * To use these, you just need to use  in the reference (which you have already). This works for any groups you create.
 * To include only these references in the reflist at the end of a page, simply use the same code:  (or whatever template you use). This will work for the same groups as in the Efn template by default, and any extras my adding the group name.

Creating a bot
I've been trying to create a bot and use AutoWikiBrowser to mass edit pages on my private wiki, but I'm stuck and really confused. Like REALLY confused. I've checked Wikipedia documentation, MediaWiki documentation, and elsewhere online but I haven't gotten any further.

My username: Pigeon43 Bot username: Pigeon43@Pigeon43_bot

What I've done
 * I think I made a 'bot account' (maybe)
 * I've used Special:BotPasswords to create a password for it
 * I've downloaded AutoWikiBrowser and typed my wiki name

What I need help with
 * When I try and login, it says I need a POST request
 * I can't find any help on this part in particular, and I have no idea how to progress further
 * I tried using api.php (to get the token and login with "action=login" with the name, password, and token), as suggested by Wikipedia, but it still says it needs a POST request

Any help would be greatly appreciated! <3 Pigeon43 (talk) 15:10, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

error when trying to upload music (in .ogg)
first, in the morning it was working, i was able to upload some .ogg files without problem.

but now, suddently, it says "[1ff3990555716a8e052e6a09] Exception interceptée de type Error" (in french)

but i noticed it is not always the same characters, they are always changing.

i just tried again and now it's "[793500edfc9d838907d28791]"...

and sometimes it says "[b3663e4e7c2102f811bdeb79] 2022-03-02 14:29:42: Erreur fatale de type « Error »" ... (still random numbers)

i tried to upload some picture and it works for it, i tried to upload some pdf over 3mb and it seems to work for it too... and i uploaded a mp4 file and it works too! ah and it does the same for mp3 files too.. and maybe it comes from there because the first time i tried to upload a file in mp3 format, it did that error;; maybe i should disable dthe mp3 format.. dunno

it seems to be only for music files (or at least ogg and mp3 files;; i tried to unnallow mp3 files and it still does the error..)

Question
Recently a user violated a global policy. Where should I report it?


 * If the user violated the Terms of Use, please email ts@undefinedmiraheze.org. If they violated any other global policy, please email stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 19:42, 4 March 2022 (UTC)


 * It is in Uw-harass. This mean I should email stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org, not ts@undefinedmiraheze.org. Is that right?
 * If it's harrasment then yes, you can email stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org or you can report it on the Stewards' noticeboard Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:04, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * But when I publicly report that person on other platforms (communities), that person always says that the report is invalid. So I should send an email, right?
 * Also, in what email format should I report it?
 * All that is needed on your email report is the name of the user, your username, and as much evidence as possible of what the user is being accused of. Reports which lack on-wiki evidence may be dismissed so it is vital that you link as much on-wiki evidence as possible and explain what Stewards should be looking at (i.e. if you link to a big discussion, point Stewards to a certain section where the user said a certain comment, etc.). Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:44, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The people who'll handle it on the Stewards' noticeboard are the exact same ones who'd handle it via email, that is, the Stewards. We're not like other platforms that have one set of staff that reply publicly and another which only work via email but in the end, this is all up to your personal choice and discretion. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:41, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Will the request in the following format be accepted, also, request in the following formats will not be dismissed/overruled?
 * My name: xxx


 * Username(s) which violated (a) global policy(policies): xxx
 * Wiki(s): xxx (Database name xxx)
 * Violated page(s): xxx, xxx
 * Proof by other email(s): xxx
 * Other proof(s): xxx
 * I can't guarantee it won't be dismissed for lack of merit as I haven't seen the contents of the report but I can assure you that that format is rather solid and your email won't be dismissed for having a messy format. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:06, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, I will report it.
 * OK, I will report it.

Private Wiki SSO
I'm working on a Wiki which helps students use facilities at the college where I work, and I am hoping to make this Wiki private to students and staff since it contains information that someone malicious may be able to use to hijack us. However, creating a user for every single student and staff member at the school in order to see this Wiki is not something that I would be able to do. I am hoping that I could somehow integrate Google SSO to the Wiki so that people can sign in just using their .edu account, but I have no clue to begin. I was wondering if this is even possible or if anyone here has tackled a similar issue with their wiki? Loving Miraheze so far! Tacstudios (talk) 19:13, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
