how to fix error?
Hello! When I did the Template "Website" I got the error "Error Lua in Module: Wikidata on line 186: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value)." I think I need to enable the "Wikibase (client)" extension for the template to work. If I think correctly, how can I turn it on? Wiki — frog.miraheze.org	Kwack (talk)

Getting frustrated with Template:Sidebar, wont even display article links
Hello! I was just editing my wiki when I decided to import templates from WiKiPEDiA to my wiki, here. But when I put article links in it, it wont show up. I need formatting help, somehow

 * Import w:MediaWiki:Common.js. The lists are collapsed by default, but the show/hide buttons won't exist without the JavaScript. -- Void  Whispers 01:39, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * wow thanks. Problem now fixed, as you can see here •• Fair0002 • Bureaucrat and Administrator of Crazybloxian Empire Wiki 05:24, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

A question about Navboxes
Hello there. I have just begun work on a new wiki, and I’m getting used to some of the complexity within them, but I have a question. In terms of Navboxes, like this one which is missing a hide/show button; thus lacking the ability to collapse and uncollapse, so is there any way to make them collapsible?

 * See the above section with a link to import some content to get it working. RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contirbs · Rights - ) 15:58, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Extension Changes
Hello all,

We've recently noticed that 2 extensions no longer support the latest versions of our software anymore and have been causing issues on some wikis. To allow communities time to prepare before we remove these extensions and allow for feedback I'm posting this here. You can find more information in T4584 and T4583.

The two extensions are:
 * Poll which is in use on 100 wikis and can be replaced by the similar AJAX Poll or by PollNY
 * ArticleFeedbackV5 which is in use on 58 wikis and can not be replaced.

If you have any questions or feedback then please don't hesitate to inform us.

Thanks in advance, ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 18:58, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * These have now been removed. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 21:45, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

"Report an error" link for my wiki
Hello! I want reader could inform me if he will find some mistake or inaccuracy. Is it possible to add "Report an error" link on my wiki? Or the best way I`d like to get - just select wrong phrase and press Ctrl+Enter and error report ready. Despierto (talk) 13:22, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what kind of link you would want or where but you could link a page where people can report. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 13:23, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But users still should type page name, retype the fragment with error. It`s not comfortable way. Despierto (talk) 12:24, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Upload file error
Hello, i have a problem: i cannot upload files, it seems errors (in example: Could not store file "/tmp/phpBjTHsc" at "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/a/ae/Blue.jpg". ". and other. It could be fixed? -- ToMi (talk) 08:13, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like we might have ran out of disk space, I've reported it in T4600 and are attempting to locate a sysadmin to deal with it. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 08:24, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

I can't access to "Special:ManageWikiPermissions"
This will probably happen with other wikis. I can't access to Special:ManageWikiPermissions. That special page is where I can provide or remove permissions to each user group. In particular, I would like to have the freedom to remove or provide the possibility to participate to users not registered in the forum, among other things. Or was that special page deleted by chance? --PaladinDeGigantas (talk) 03:04, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Please try Special:ManageWiki/permissions. It was renamed. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 06:46, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Changes
Hello, I leave this comment to see if there is or could make some space on the main page to notify of important changes in the site. Recently, for example, the Dark Vector skin was removed, only notice in Discord and perhaps the one who is not there has no way to find out. Now some extensions have been changed and it has been reported here and maybe not everyone looks at it. For these reasons I think it will be good an "official" place to announce the most relevant changes, I don't think everyone knows how to read the changes of GitHub xD -- Dark Dragoon  (talk)  04:09, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That is a good point. Perhaps next time, we should add important changes to the site under the "News" section on the Main Page. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:59, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I think here or discord will be the best place currently to look. There are plans for a mailing list for announcements and news which would include changes like this. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 06:26, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

About LocalSettings.php file
Hi, and thanks for your help. I'm a newbie, but trying to figure things out for myself. However, it seems as though some configuration work needs to happen in the LocalSettings.php file. But because I have created my Wiki using Mirahese, I have the sense that I cannot access that file, or make any of the changes that the instructions for so many functions mention. Is that correct, that I cannot access the LocalSettings.php file? Thank you. (Note: I referenced this page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php) Paul Evans (talk) 04:11, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * We have our own extension called ManageWiki that allows you to change settings without having to edit the LocalSettings.php file, so please go to Special:ManageWiki (/settings, /extensions, /permissions, etc.) in order to make changes to the settings. If there are settings that you don't see there please see Request features. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:01, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
