Request for Feedback: making syntax highlighting enabled by default
While visiting a few new wikis I noticed that syntax highlighting is not enabled by default. It's a really helpful tool that's also standard for most code editing software, which can help avoid simple syntax errors and make editing easier. And because it features a toggle, it can be easily disabled if anyone prefers to not use it at any time. Advantages of having syntax highlighting by default:
 * It would make the source editor (and code editors) more accessible to beginner wiki editors, who might not even be aware it exists in the first place.
 * People who migrate from Fandom and are yet to learn about ManageWiki would expect for this feature to be enabled by default. This would make it more intuitive for them.
 * Marking it as default would make it more widespread on new wikis. It would be beneficial for editors who edit multiple wikis, and frequently use the multi-select feature the syntax highlighting enables.

Because syntax highlighting for wikitext and CSS/JS/Lua are handled by two different extensions (CodeMirror and CodeEditor respectively), I made a proposal for each.

Note: I was told those extensions may have an impact on performance and to mention in this post.  Xena  (talk)  22:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 1: Wikitext syntax highlighting by default
Make the CodeMirror extension enabled by default when a new wiki is created. Existing wikis would stay unaffected.

Support (1)

 * 1)  as proposer.  Xena   (talk)  22:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  Long standing and widely used feature. Beneficial to both beginner and veteran editors alike. CodeMirror is a feature I frequently (read "nearly always") use myself, and also personally frequently forget to enable as part of my new wiki configuration process.  dross  (t • c • g) 22:27, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

 * 6) CodeMirror is very useful.-- 1108-Kiju /▶talk  07:32, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 2: CSS/JS/Lua syntax highlighting by default
Make the CodeEditor extension enabled by default when a new wiki is created. Existing wikis would stay unaffected.

Support (2)

 * 1)  as proposer.  Xena   (talk)  22:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  Tab support is a must on any project requiring the editing of code. Seems like a quality of life improvement (technical concerns aside) for this to be enabled by default.  dross  (t • c • g) 22:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Ukrainian letter Ґ
Ukrainian letter «Ґ» is five letter of ukrainian alphabet, but on categories this letter is very last. Please, fix this problem. Thefirstdarkness (talk) 08:59, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


 * AFAIK, this is an issue with MediaWiki itself, not with Miraheze. Most "special" characters are listed last, so that's expected behavior. I don't have an exact place where you can complain, but here is their site. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 00:22, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * See mw:Help:Sorting and mw:Help:Categories for more information on how to try remedying this yourself. Otherwise, what you're encountering is more noticeable whenever Special:AllPages is browsed through--a major bane of Unicode-heavy wikis such as mine.
 * Maybe try pinging "Bawolff" at mw:Project:Support desk if you haven't already? --Routhwick (talk) 02:35, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Qualitipedia Is Closing Their Wikias and I Want To Revive Them Help!
Well, it died. Why? https://qualitipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Project_closure Is it because of Miraheze or something else? Is there an alternative Wikia Host that allows for article comments?

Grabbergirl134 (talk) 04:17, 5 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Refer to the RfC, the closure of QP was done by Miraheze steward in the requests of network bureaucrats, citing multiple issues like biased content, toxicity and high volume of vandalism originating from that network that can't be resolved without closing all QP-affiliated wikis. So if you want to revive this, you're better off starting from scratch. Good luck. TF3RDL (talk &#124; contribs &#124; FANDOM &#124; Wikipedia) 05:03, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * or wait until the wiki's are deleted so that you can recreate them LovingHaydeL (talk) 15:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The reason of closure is linked through the page you mentioned (see where it mentions a Request for Comment, admittedly it's easy to miss if you don't catch the link text with the word 'this').
 * There is probably not another wiki host that would be interested in taking on Qualitipedia. --Raidarr (talk) 20:43, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There are no other wiki hosts. The only other wiki hosts that use MediaWiki and are free and have the latest software are FANDOM, ShoutWiki, and Whiki, but FANDOM banned the wikis already, ShoutWiki's Wiki Creator is broken, and Whiki rejected the wikis. I tried to request a revival called Receptionpedia here on Miraheze that would start from scratch, but it was rejected, so I have officially given up on trying to revive Qualitipedia. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:33, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Kudos for figuring something out. Sometimes you gotta let go, Qualitipedia is no different. If you’re truly dedicated to reviving the wikis, host it yourself; once you get the resources, it’s not that hard for a few wikis like that. I know I said I would do that, but to be honest, Qualitipedia is just not worth more of my time than it already was. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 07:02, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * an user named JFred managed to revive the wikis via meta.qualtipedia.cf. You can go there if you want to help. The user who loves human heads on alien/animal bodies in cartoons for no reason (talk to me uwu!) 19:58, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Are there any ways to build a fanbase for a wikis users
Hi I don't know what we don on this noticeboard but I need to know easy ways to get started with help on a wiki and I don't know how to grow a community :( Could anyone here provide tips for me or anything? CharlieFiddlesticks (talk) 19:16, 5 October 2022 (UTC)


 * A good way to get started is to put a short description of your wiki on the Gazetteer of wikis. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|uploads|email) 19:21, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The best way is to appeal to/be appealing to the destination community you are making a wiki for. This wiki and everything on it, even the Gazetteer linked above and even the Special:WikiDiscover page, are only really used by people with fleeing curiosity in other projects. Rarely does that become long term audience. If you're making a wiki about a game then you need to be known by the people who play it, so on and so forth. --Raidarr (talk) 20:31, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @CharlieFiddlesticks there is only one way to improve your wiki; advertising people. if people see and click on your ad and start editing, your wiki will start to evolve. I think it's easiest to start with this.  Hey Türkiye  message? 16:58, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Search Error


How do I fix this? Whenever I try searching things up besides the pages full name on the CountryHumans Wiki, there is an error. On other wikis I have been on (Polandball Wiki, Imagination Land Wiki and some of my wikis such as Art's Animations Wiki) it works but in here, it doesn’t work. KumihoWolffey or CameralTea (talk) 19:26, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

How do I put my wiki in read-only mode?
Hello, I have a wiki, and I would like the people to be able to read it, not edit it. How can I do that? How do I set the permissions? Thank you so much :) Lois (talk) 16:29, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Go to Special:ManageWiki and set to private. Save it. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 16:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Private makes it so nobody can read it other than allow people to read but not edit. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 16:37, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry. I had misread the title. Simply revoke the edit right from both everyone and Users. You can then put edit rights on another right so approved users can edit your wiki. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 16:40, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Go to, select  , remove all edit related perms, then go to  , and do the same. Make sure admin/bureaucrat have all of the edit perms, or they won't be able to edit since they inherit permissions from the other user rights other than the automatically assigned ones. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 16:40, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, done. But it doesn't work well. How can I change it so that my readers don't have to log in? Thanks :) Lois (talk) 16:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That seems odd, is your wiki public? (see Special:ManageWiki) --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 16:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry, it works already :) :) Thank you so much :) Lois (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem! --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 17:05, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Chat box on my wiki
Hello, How can I add a chat box to my wiki? Because it's read-only, so my readers can't communicate with me. What kind of chat box can I put in my wiki? A simple chat box would also be good. Which can be used without registration. Thanks. Lois (talk) 05:57, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * You have several options. There are extensions that will allow you to comment on an article. Personally, I use an extension called comments. There is also a free chat extension, but I forgot the name of it. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 10:58, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll check.
 * But there is a wiki forum, although I don't know how to use it, what to set up so that everyone can see it. Lois (talk) 11:13, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There was, but it was disabled due to a security issue. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 11:26, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, I read this with regret :(
 * The Comments does not work well because only registered people can comment :(
 * And when will my wiki name be changed? It's already up on Phabricator. Lois (talk) 12:12, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I can't answer the latter, but did you add the comment right to everyone in Special:ManageWiki/permissions? --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 12:42, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I don't understand why it doesn't work. Lois (talk) 12:57, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Did you add the comments parse to an article? --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 13:12, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeeees, it works now. Thank you so much! But can't I edit the Comments text? Maybe write their names there, because they can't register. Hmmm? Lois (talk) 13:21, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Editing unfortunately isn't supported in comments. An alternative would to be deleting your old comment and replacing it with a new one. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 13:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see. Thanks a lot, everything is finally working. I'm just waiting for a new name, and then everything will be fine! Lois (talk) 13:32, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Always happy to help. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 13:36, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Best Worldingbuild wiki?
Is miraheze better alternative of Fandom in making your own private worldbuilding wiki? Capybread (talk) 20:51, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * If you're looking for a private wiki, Fandom is completely nonviable in this situation as they don't allow private wikis, on top of a bunch of odd policies I won't get into here. --Blad  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 20:53, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, personally for me, Miraheze is good for making any kind of wikis rather than fandoms, but for private wikis, Miraheze is 100% better in my opinion. ImReal (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree! Miraheze is pretty cool to use since it has no ads but the loading time is slower and sometimes gives me 503 errors, is there a way to fix this? Capybread (talk) 17:02, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

(These are my personal experiences with him. Do NOT harass anyone mentioned for this. Also, this is NOT a hate topic about him, I just wanted to share what happened with me and him.)

TL;DR: Tried to talk to him on Qualtipedia Meta about this, but failed. Tried to talk to him on Steward's noticeboard about this, but it also failed. Was banned from talking to TF3RDL and talking about Qualtipedia. RfC about closing reception wikis, demanding me, Raidarr, and Blad blocked for treason because we shared our opinion, got banned. End Of Story

Entire thing: Hello. I decided to make this because after what happened today, I completely lost respect for Blubabluba9990. So when did it start...? Well... it all started on Qualtipedia Meta where I confronted him about his obsession. Being all defensive, it was a pain to deal with debunking each piece of evidence. After he was blocked, it didn't stop there, as he repeatedly tried to bring back and complain about being blocked that it escalated and this resulted in being banned to talk about Qualtipedia and user TF3RDL being banned from talking to him on Meta. After that, he went silent, and revealed him gave up on reviving Qualtipedia, and I started to respect him a bit, but then came this RfC and a few hours after it went live, Bluba demanded that me, Radiarr, and Blad get banned and warn Nidoking for treason because of this proposal (Mind you, I voted support on 2.2, oppose on 1 and 2, Radiarr voted oppose on 1 and 2.2, support on 2, and Blad voted support on 1, 2 and 2.2). He also proposed this on the Stewards noticeboard as well. We tried to talk to him about this, but like everything else, he still demanded we get banned. This prompted Agent Isai to block him for 1 month for disruptive editing on Meta. And RfC happened after I got a sock blocked (09limbua sock.) So this is what happened. Just wanted to give my side of story about the whole drama. The user who loves human heads on alien/animal bodies in cartoons for no reason (talk to me uwu!) 22:13, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't see what the purpose is of essentially parading the drama around first on your talk page and now on the central noticeboard. I'd think we would want to get past it and I'm really not sure what your angle is here on Meta. He's blocked, if he causes issues elsewhere he'll be addressed, and posts like these are only a magnet for further drama. --Raidarr (talk) 23:34, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I put it on here because nobody responded to my talk page.
 * Also BTW, he responded. With all caps on some sentences. The user who loves human heads on alien/animal bodies in cartoons for no reason (talk to me uwu!) 23:43, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Nobody replied on your talk page because typically Meta does not wish to encourage gossip or further perpetrate drama than it needs to go. Frankly this seems like an overt attempt to get attention: it is not necessary or fruitful. --Raidarr (talk) 01:08, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

 * You're going to get in serious trouble. (Whether this is a real account or a sockpuppet.) As far as I can tell, those sites were removed from the platform for a variety of reasons. Bringing discussion of it here is only going to reignite old fires and attract users to your site that you really don't want there.
 * (On a personal note, I don't get why anyone would want these sites up... I checked them out a bit before the ban, and they were full of really nasty content. Slurs slung around every other sentence, even in official articles(!), most of the sites (not pages, sites) dedicated to aimless rants about why media is abhorrent because they personally dislike it, barely anything that would pass as proper criticism. That's not exactly a healthy place to hang out, is it? Maybe you ought to find a more positive space to plant roots in instead of trying to dig up the corpse of an old site.

Miraheze Popularity Question
How come FANDOM is more popular and well-known than Miraheze? Will Miraheze ever reach that popularity? Capybread (talk) 16:18, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * FANDOM has been around since 2006, was founded by Jimbo Wales, and has a multimillion dollar company behind it doing all sorts of publicity. That's probably why. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:21, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Is Miraheze a multimillion dollar company to? Capybread (talk) 16:43, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * prob no. The user who loves human heads on alien/animal bodies in cartoons for no reason (talk to me uwu!) 18:46, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Finance and scroll all the way to the bottom. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 19:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1. Fandom has alot of wikis, some of which, are for very huge series, and just has more brand exposure and more "easier" ui to edit on.
 * 2. Miraheze could reach that popularity if we create and maintain wikis for popular stuff since that brings more people in and more editors, Miraheze is also non-profit unlike fandom. ImReal (talk) 21:45, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to put italic on some words on the ShortDescription extension. Indeed, here is what I have: Link of my wiki: https://fiction.miraheze.org/wiki/ Thanks in advance. Darkrai18 (talk) 20:53, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

What Will Happened?
A dreadful question that I thought after learning their financial information, If there is a event of Miraheze requiring to be in shutdown their website and services due to lack of financial backing, would we will lose our wikis with no hope of getting them back or are they going to be transferred to somewhere else?

 * if that is the case, start archiving them on archive.org. The user who loves human heads on alien/animal bodies in cartoons for no reason (talk to me uwu!) 19:56, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no need to start archiving as we already do that for everyone. We publish database dumps every few months on archive.org for all public wikis. I don't expect us to be in financial peril however as we get about 80% of the amount needed to operate every month via GitHub Sponsors and the rest usually through the fundraiser or through sporadic donations.
