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...

How to adjust SwgAutoConfirmAge
I would like to adjust $SwgAutoConfirmAge on my wiki to be a day ($wgAutoConfirmAge = 86400;). That affects who gets into the Autoconfirmed Users group. When this is done, I can grant Autoconfirmed Users full rights but restrict the rights of "*" users. In other words, I can set up a policy that says, "if you want to make changes, your account has to be at least one day old". I figure most spammers and vandals don't have the patience to wait.

I can't seem to find a way to adjust that from the web interfaces though. Can you point me to a way to adjust that? Thanks in advance.
 * It should be possible to manage these settings through Special:ManageWiki/permissions/autoconfirmed, specifically in the Autopromotion section. -- Void  Whispers 22:01, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Miraheze page loading slow?
I'm quite new to Miraheze and I've noticed that all pages take quite a while to load. Usually takes a second or two, but sometimes up to 10 seconds even. This seems to happen in any Miraheze hosted wiki, but not in any other MediaWiki based wiki. So I'm wondering whether this is due to me living in Estonia and the servers being far away? Or are Miraheze's servers just underperforming for whatever reason? Olaroll (talk) 00:33, 17 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, we've tried to resolve the situation but we are at full capacity and need to upgrade our backends. We are looking to increase our capacity early next year. Paladox (talk) 00:37, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Cannot create new page from search
Normally to create a MediaWiki page, you can simply search for the article in your search box. If the page is not found, MediaWiki will prompt you to create the page. However, on my wiki, I am not prompted to create a new page. I can create a new page if I create a link of a word that does not have a page, but I don't get the link to create a new page from searching a page that does not exist. Is there any feature that must be enabled?

Contacting Miraheze
Hi,

I’d like to inform you that effective immediately Miraheze has changed the way you get in touch. Please read below to find the new emails for some teams. The old emails will redirect to the new details until further notice.

You can still contact the board via board@undefinedmiraheze.org. The use of “Miraheze Staff” has been removed due to the lack of formal staff at Miraheze and little need for a shared mailbox.

Thanks,
 * ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c - 23:10, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Until further notice? I'd like to echo "forever" &mdash; Don't delete redirects! Cool URI doesn't change. &mdash; revi  12:13, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Only reason I say that is, I have no clue what will happen in 50 years. There’s no intention there to remove but things could happen between now an 2060. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  12:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Adding a interwiki link to the CWCki for my wiki
Greetings, I've wanted to add a Interlink to the CWCki (https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Main_Page) to my wiki, MessengerGeekia (messengergeek.miraheze.org).

It'll likely be only used once, until something major happens to me (as this is for the article all about me) -DreamIsland (talk) 19:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
