Extension:MultiUpload disabled globally
I've gone ahead and disabled Extension:MultiUpload on all wikis where it was enabled. This extension is throwing end-user server 500 errors, has been unmaintained, and I haven't personally seen it working since MediaWiki 1.24 (we are currently running ). I'd personally recommend Extension:MsUpload if you still need bulk-uploading functionality, but you might want to look at other things that extension does, or find your own alternative. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

ric.miraheze.org
Hello. Last 10th november I got my wiki at mirahaze. ric.miraheze.org

I have a problem, I enter with my user account and it seems I have no administrator and bureaucrat permissions.

Could you make me administrator and bureaucrat?

And also this other users: https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:SergiDiaz&action=edit&redlink=1 https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:RenéMérou&action=edit&redlink=1 https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pablo2garcia

If you do now want or can add them as admins and bureaucrats I would need to change my password in order to give it to them, since I am not so tech savvy, and let them do the initial setups. And I could not change my password. If you could change it for: "maravilla". But our first option is to make them admins and bureaucrats.

Also we would want to change the settings so users can create pages, and the default user language. What configuration files must we change? Just give us a hint, we will study it.

And is it possible to download back ups of the whole wiki? How?

Thanks a lot for your time and the Miraheze initiative.


 * I'm looking into the user permissions on your wiki now. What do you mean you'd have to change your password to give it to them?
 * You can't change any of the "configuration files" for your wiki, that is handled by System administrators. Some things can be changed on wiki, but what you're describing does sound like a configuration change. Please make a request at Request features.
 * You can download backups of the whole wiki. To have a backup created, please ask a sysadmin (most likely.
 * Thanks for your support :) Hopefully we can help you soon. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * After quickly going back to wiki creation logs for November 10th, I found your wiki and the associated request. I've gone ahead and given your Administrator and Bureaucrat rights on your wiki. You may now log in and assign these rights to any other users. Note that bureaucrats don't really give any administrative positions besides being able to choose more administrators. If you give anyone on your wiki administrator, you will not be able to remove it yourself, you will have to request a Steward to do it for you. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:50, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Problem with a JPG file.
Please see my recently uploaded file: Building, cannot generating thumbnail image from it, so cannot using it.

Thanks, --Lalo5555 (talk) 01:18, 10 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi It appears that the file you linked to is loading correctly for me, including thumbnails. Could you provide a link to a case where you tried to use it and it failed? Thanks! -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:41, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Change my wiki as private
Please change my wiki as private. I mean all the pages I create as private wiki. Thanks D Chandrasekhar

Please change my wiki as private wiki. I mean all the page I've created and will create in future by default as private wiki's.

Thanks D Chandrasekhar ( User:Chandrusweths )


 * Hi you must request a wiki here, and specify it as private. The pages you created here aren't actually on your wiki yet, and I'm going to delete them. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 14:52, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Backup #1 please
Hello. Could you run a complete backup of our wiki? (izanagi.miraheze.org). Made a lot of progress that need to be saved just in case. Thanks! Oberyn (talk)
 * I will make an issue on GitHub and it should be done soon. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:43, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Can't access my wiki without resetting password each time
Hi.

I'm new to wiki's and it might be that I'm doing something wrong. Every time I, and my other members, try to access our wiki (https://pifusas.miraheze.org/wiki/Forside) we need to reset our passwords to be able to enter. The system does not accept our newly created passwords as we submit them if we revisit after browser has been closed.

Regards Sindre
