I have a problem
Can someone look at this? I can not get any further.

What's happening with Labster and the finance pace?

My avatar doesn't show up whenever I write a comment?
Everyone else's does, though. This must be a bug or something.

I know I tried deleting my avatar and reuploading/changing it again, but it's still blank in the comments.

I hope there is one way to fix it. One way or another...

Special:MobileMenu
Hello everyone,

Is there a way to edit the MobileMenu special page so that when I am on a smartphone, i can have more information than Home and Random Page when accessing the menu ?

When I go on https://zw.fontainebleau-avon.fr/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:MobileMenu while connected with an admin user, I have no way to do it.

I tried to have a look on Mediawiki's website but did not understand where to find the information

Thank you for your help

Define license policie for Miraheze Commons
Saludos a toda la comunidad de Miraheze. Hace un año se aprobó la creación de Miraheze Commons, un repositorio multimedia con archivos que todas las wikis de Miraheze pueden usar. Ya ha pasado un año y la wiki aún no ha definido sus políticas siendo la política de imágenes la más importante. Por eso solicito comentarios de la comunidad de Miraheze para poder definir que licencias de imágenes se aceptarán en Miraheze Commons. En principio, se deberían definir estos puntos en comparación a lo hecho en Wikimedia Commons pero adaptado a este proyecto:
 * Fair Use.
 * Derechos de autor.
 * Simple design.
 * Derivative works.


 * Next I have two proposals for politics.

Thank you for your comments. Greetings. -Hispano76 (talk) 00:37, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Extention:CategoryTree is acting up

Helper (talk) 10:05, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello. We are using Extention:CategoryTree instead of Content, which is great ! However, noticed the count shows correct amount of articles, but in Category list shown all pages including translations ending /lang-code. The top category "Статьи Вера ИСВ‎ (8 С)" shows eight _original_ pages in russian which is correct or not does not matter now. Long subpages names I will rename later.

How can I remove bureaucrat status from a user?
I want to be able to remove bureaucrat status from a user on Horrible Vyonders Wiki. How do I do so? Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 15:50, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Go to here. 16:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * What permission do you need to implement in order to be able to remove it? Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 16:20, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * that's not what he's asking for; here. Hispano76 (talk) 16:24, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The problem is, I can't remove bureaucrat status from a user. That's why I'm asking. How do I do so? Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 16:27, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * mh:horriblevyonderswiki:Special:ManageWiki/permissions/bureaucrat is the page to manage group assignments for 'crat. You'll want to use this setting to allow Bureaucrat to remove the Bureaucrat group. A better, albeit more complicated solution would be to create a new user group which has the ability to add or remove 'crat, that way it eliminates the possibility of 'crats removing each other. See mh:guide:Special:ListGroupRights for example. dross  (t • c • g) 16:29, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks. Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 16:34, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Infobox
Hey, does anyone know how to make infoboxes? I need seven parameters! @Solaris2019
 * Hey there, I might be able to help you with infoboxes. Would you mind clarifying what you want it to be? Hypercane  (  talk ) 03:16, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Permission error
Now it's constantly saying "You do not have permission to read this page, for the following reason:

The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Administrators, Members." Even though I'm the owner of the wiki. Is something rwong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CrashFire (talk • contribs) 15:46, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Typing error at requesting my wiki, what to do now?
I requested and now already got it, thanks for this fast work, the kujum wiki. But now I have learned, that I had misunderstood my woman. She wanted nujum and not kujum. Nujum in tunisian lanuage means "stars" or so, but kujum means absolutely nothing, Please take my big Sorry for that.

The quetion now is: What to do best with the kujum wiki? Will it be okay to just request a further wiki, now with the name nujum? Using the kujum as test field and backup? Or would it be better to correct this failure?

TIA, --Peter Littmann (talk) 16:04, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * You can edit your wiki request by clicking here. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:31, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like your wiki has been created already. However, you can fix the wiki name from Special:ManageWiki/core of your wiki, and can request for fixing the subdomain on Phabricator.-- 16:53, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

RhinosF1
Hello all,

I took on the role of Sysadmin at Miraheze 2.5 months ago. I regretfully confirm that after just this short space of time I will be stepping down from my staff role at Miraheze on 14/12/2019. In late August, I experienced a short illness which faded soon after but at the very end of the month a more sinister turn was taken.

As September progressed, things seemed to be going well. Unfortunately, In the last few weeks, I have continued to decline which has left me in a position where I've been rendered unable to maintain what I was doing.

I will keep my Wiki Creator and Sysop hats on meta in case I am around but health will take priority.

I'd like to wish everyone a great Christmas and New Year and thanks for your support!

If you have any questions, please contact me on IRC or Discord. You can also email staff[at]miraheze.org who may assist you if you want information as some staff have it or let me know so I can get in touch.

Thanks again,
