How much storage space does Miraheze have?
Well, My wiki, Crazybloxian Empire, could get large pretty soon. How much storage space does the wiki-hosting service have?

How many Wiki? Can I use subdomains for different Wikis?
Good day! I am the founder of Malaysia Wiki. I am now writing using English. However, Malaysia is a multicultural and multilingual country, where we are using at least four major languages. Therefore I am trying to put these question for future use.

1) How many Wikis can I request? Assuming one language one Wiki. 2) Can I use my current domain bought from Namecheap, alter the CNAME, then point them towards different Wiki? 3) Which collaboration tool like Phabricator that can you suggest? I have no experience, and I'm trying to minimise costs.

Thanks!
 * There is no technical limit on the amount of wikis, so you could in theory request an unlimited amount of wikis. I have miminal knowledge related to domain names and networking. An alternative to Phabricator would be Trello. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  19:48, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Don't recognized
Hi everyone, I have a bit knowledge of html and javascript. I imported content from wikipedia and I saw that the <\ref> are not recognized. How to make it works? Thanks in advance for your help! :))) Databaseadmin (talk) 17:34, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Databaseadmin Hi, that happens because the extension:cite is not enabled in the Wiki. What is the Wiki? to check it out. Ucronistaw (talk) 17:38, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * hi thank you for the answer. the wiki is https://infobase.miraheze.org/wiki/Accueil but I lost my admin login so I've to create aa new wiki anyway *_* I was hoping that it would be easy to fix this reference issue! Thank you very much for your support! Databaseadmin (talk) 06:11, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * How can one enable them again? They were active a few days ago... Schatten (talk) 15:14, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Databaseadmin I've seen the conversation you've had with Reception123, I'm afraid if you're not the sysop of the wiki, I can't enable the extension unless the local sysop approves it or the community itself (seeing that there are other editors besides you). If you get to create a new wiki, you will be able to enable it with the steps of my next answer.
 * Hi Ucronistaw! I created a new wiki and a new account and i could enable the extension:cite :) Thank you very much! It's perfect! Databaseadmin (talk) 19:18, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Schatten What is your wiki? If you are an sysop, you can enable the Cite extension using Special:ManageWikiExtensions Ucronistaw (talk) 15:26, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello Ucronistaw. I can see Special:ManageWikiExtensions, but there is no "send" button for me. My Wiki is https://schattenvonskelos.miraheze.org - I registered that wiki, and am bureocrat, but no sysop, as far as I can see. Did I miss something to get sysop rights?

 * The submit button should be in a separate tab in the top of the form. -- Void  Whispers 21:19, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Void - Thank you! I was blind. In german it's "Übermitteln" - and it's within the table header for me, so I didn't saw it first. Got it now :> Schatten (talk) 22:28, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Where can I request to set interwiki?
I want to request to set interwiki in my wiki. Where can I request to set interwiki? --Noue Supernova (talk) 19:04, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Noue Supernova Hi, I understand that you want to add or modify an interwiki. Can you tell me what the website is (example.com)? What will the interwiki be called (example:)? and What is your Wiki (meta.miraheze.org)? Ucronistaw (talk) 16:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Ucronistaw! My wiki is https://Whiteside.miraheze.org, and I want to request to make interwiki, "jawp" (to https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1), "jaucp" (to https://ja.uncyclopedia.info/wiki/$1), "ep" (to https://enpedia.rxy.jp/wiki/$1), and "yp" (to https://ja.yourpedia.org/wiki/$1). May I ask you a favor? --Noue Supernova (talk) 11:14, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello Noue Supernova, Since the wiki is private, the only way to add interwikis is if you add me as a Member of your wiki or wait for a Steward to review it. Ucronistaw (talk) 16:51, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. I think to abandon it.--Noue Supernova (talk) 10:34, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

User rights on Miraheze's Commonswiki
I'm in the process of adding some pictures, nothings amazing, just a selection of photos from previous holidays/vacations to test the viability of the commons project. Obviously, the very nature of project allows for uploading images created by myself (of which I have included a licence for such a purpose). However, more licences are needed. I don't mind adding these licences but they will need adding to MediaWiki:Licenses, of which I do not have access to edit. This is helpful in adding licences to image files using the drop-down option on the upload page. Is it possible to give me elevated user rights for such purposes as I seem to be the only person doing anything for this project at the moment anyway? 14:35, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, can we have HotCat gadget installed as this helps no end with all the categories that I'll be using and the Multimedia Viewer installed please. 14:49, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Should be done on everything. -- Void  Whispers 17:22, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks pal, I'll continue to add images, work on licences and templates etc., and we'll see if there's any interest. 21:35, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Instant Commons
For some reason, Instant Commons isn't working on my wiki (https://futurewiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) anymore? I didn't ask for it to get removed - is there anyway to fix this? Thank you, Beta 17:36, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Have you attempted to enable it again with Special:ManageWikiSettings? It should be listed there. -- Void  Whispers 17:42, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you! - Beta 17:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

References suddendly doesn't work, how I fix this?
I've created this wiki page https://royalty.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page and suddendly, from a month to now, the references stopped work. They simply appear in the form of their parameters. I don't know how to fix this issue, can somebody help me, pleas? Grand Duke Arthur (talk) 04:31, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You need to enable the extension Cite using Special:ManageWikiExtensions. -- Void  Whispers 16:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Have Random image instead of Random page link in sidebar
Just throwing the question out there in the hope there is an answer. Is there a way of having Random image instead of Random page in the sidebar? As I have started adding some photos to our Miraheze Commons website, it would be nice to have a random image link in the sidebar instead of the usual random page. The reason being commons is a repository for images and other media files and in this very early stage it is doubtful there are going to be any pages in the main namespace for some time, so the random page function is kind of pointless. 21:21, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
