Mainpage welcome and FAQ
Hi, as I might not get on IRC today I am writing here. I think for the "welcome Mainpage" we should in the future include a request feature link and possibly stewards noticeboard. And I am currently working on a FAQ. --Reception123 (talk) 02:48, 7 August 2015 (EDT)

Fiala1 lies
His replies are nonsense and totally delusional. Rightpedia was a harcore-Nazi holocaust denier site that even attached a "J" sign next to people (on entries) who were Jewish and called them parasites. Fiala1 is also an ex-sysop on the white supremacist site Metapedia called Hu1. His posts are logged there going back to 2008, including hundreds of posts of extreme anti-Semitism and race hatred. There is nothing "family orientated" or "pro-God" about his views whatsoever.

^ You will note his account says banned at Metapedia (if you search for it). This is because his anti-Semitism was considered even too extreme for Metapedia (which is a neo-Nazi site itself) but it tries to have a wider appeal so it tones it down. Hu1 and the other banned Metapedia sysops left to set up rightpedia - these are people not interested in even trying to moderate their racism. They just openly post crude images likening blacks to apes, or Jews to rats. Rightpedia's entry on "miscegenation" categorized mixed-marriages the same as paedophilia (see: screenshot). This is why these Metapedia users were banned in the first place - they were considered too extreme and crazy for the average-joe white supremacist. And yet, Hu1 will sit there and describe himself bizarrely as a man of god, with family values and even a non-racist. The latter has caused him to be labelled a troll across the web.

Hello,

I would like to say sorry for not being on here in a couple of months. I have become extremely busy due to school, and I will again after this week for end of course testing and finals.--Kaiser (talk) 14:58, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Nothing that requires you to be here every day, right? School is very important :) Southparkfan (talk) 15:06, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right. By the way, may you ignore my stewards' noticeboard post. I'd like to request for the deletion of this account and any wikis hosted under it. I've gotten too busy these days. Maybe one day I'll return.--Kaiser (talk) 15:20, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Subpages
Hoi Southparkfan,

Ik vroeg me af of de subpages nog op jouw actielijst staan? Zie https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Request_features#Part-up_.28Status:_Open.29. Er is geen haast bij, dus neem vooral je tijd :-) Misschien dat je kunt aangeven wanneer je het ongeveer kunt uitvoeren. Misschien dat je ook nog onvoldoende informatie hebt omdat ik niet weet wat namespaces zijn.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Please make the wiki stop caching scripts
It's a nightmare. D4rkst4r (talk) 19:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Please explain which scripts are being cached? Southparkfan (talk) 19:49, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * All the ones on pages on d4rkst4r.miraheze.org. Even the user page scripts are being cached and can't be purged.  D4rkst4r (talk) 22:16, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I made a support forum
http://miraheze.lefora.com/ You and any other sysops from the Meta Wiki can be mods there. D4rkst4r (talk) 00:26, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks nice! However, even if we would use a forum (we prefer that all communication goes via IRC or wiki, and if desired, mailing lists), we'd install the forum software ourselves (so we can host it at https://forum.miraheze.org/ and ensure only authorized staff has control to user/private data!). We want to keep the usage of third-party services to a minimum.
 * If the community wants a forum, then I'll install one and I'll use your nice forum as a base for it. Southparkfan (talk) 10:34, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Being politically incorrect and making fun of people
Here's my own take on the rules that I will enforce on my wikis:
 * No promoting harassment or contributing to online bullying.
 * No personal information that endangers anyone's safety. (Addresses, phone numbers)
 * Political incorrectness can be used sparingly. It can have a place but it's my observation that people who rely on it are have a lot of repressed intolerance and hatred.

Is this consistent with what's expected of wikis here? D4rkst4r (talk) 02:47, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe that yes, your policy is similar to meta, therefore is good. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 06:46, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Not commenting related to any sort of elevated permissions but as a normal user, I think as long as you follow global policies (which aren't that restrictive) you should be fine. You can choose to place whatever restrictions on your users as you want, and they can choose to leave if they don't like it. Personally I think those are good guidelines :) -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 23:20, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Deleting wikis
The steps you listed for deleting a wiki can be seen here. I just tried to do that for empty set wiki, and found out that I don't have write access to /srv/mediawiki/dblist/*, so I closed the wiki along with two other wikis (as logged here). Note that I still want emptysetwiki deleted, and the other two saved (for now) but closed. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 02:08, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Custom domains
Can Miraheze provide its own custom domain or must we purchase it? ZenSwordz (talk) 16:10, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * We automatically assign (wikiid).miraheze.org for most of the wikis, but if you purchase your own domain (we can do DNS stuff for you) and you buy the SSL/TLS Certificate, we are more than happy to set a custom domain on your server. &mdash; revi  17:56, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * How much would that cost? ZenSwordz (talk) 6:32, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Anywhere from $10 to $1000 USD annually, depending on whose services you use, and whether you need an EV certificate (you don't). We can use Lets Encrypt to make free SSL certs, though I know SPF hates doing that :P. Also I own miraheze.wiki, so that's available for subdomains if needed. --Vorticity (talk) 08:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Custom subdomain for my wiki
Hi,

So I have my main site at AEnasan.com and I would like to create wiki.aenasan.com that goes to https://aenasan.miraheze.org/ How do I do that? Since what I get is it lead to meta.miraheze.org instead. Thank you!
 * Hi AEnasan, please read custom domains for that. Thank you, Southparkfan (talk) 12:32, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Default logo upload location
Hi, instead of requiring a wiki admin to upload their logo to their wiki and submitting a request on Phabricator for $wgLogo to be set to its location, why can't $wgLogo be set to pull from File:Logo.png by default?

I'm sure y'all have some reason why you do it the way you currently are but I'm just curious. :)

Thanks. -- Corey (talk) 19:25, 28 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not entirely sure as I don't know completely how our static server works, but I believe it has something to do with how mediawiki images are (by default) stored in "randomly" created sub-folders of "images"
 * I agree it would be really nice to set the default $wgLogo to something like "static.miraheze.org/$wgDBname/default.jpg" or whatever but this introduces two problems.
 * This file (even the default Miraheze logo) would have to exist on every wiki to work without editing the config, then be overwritten by local wiki users.
 * This wouldn't actually work because every image on every wiki has a literal filepath that can't really be checked (easily) without navigating to the image then clicking the full res version.
 * Example, [[Media:Miraheze Logo.svg]]'s wiki link is /wiki/File:Miraheze_Logo.svg but it's real filepath is /metawiki/3/35/Miraheze_Logo.svg. The "/3/35" is two sublevels created by looking at characters in the hash of the image.
 * All of the above is assuming it still works like this and I remember correctly. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 12:26, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, as far as I know the file hash for "Logo.png" will always be the same, so that's not a major issue. But, whenever running a "file_exists( "/srv/mediawiki-static/$wgDBname/[first hash]/[second hash]/Logo.png" );", we are putting more and more load on one of our servers, and it will make the site slower. I think that if I need to decide between a delay in getting your new logo, and doing things that could have unexpected results, I'd prefer the first. Southparkfan (talk) 12:36, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. -- Corey (talk) 12:45, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Add custom domain assistance please
Hi Southparkfan, I am interested in having a custom domain but I'm not really sure how it all works after point 2 on the Custom domains page. I can change the nameservers on the hosting company where I already have the custom domain name, that bit seems straightforward enough. Not wanting to sound stupid but: I am just unsure from the descriptions what exactly you are supposed to do and when. Thanks Borderman   talk 09:44, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Is point 2 done on meta to request the custom domain?
 * How is point 4 done? Is this an email to the SSL provider?
 * Hi, point 2 was done in your wiki request. This does not applies to you, that's not a problem. Point 4 was done in the wiki request form too, but that was in the past only, I'll remove that. For now you only need to email us for a CSR, then you will receive a CSR back which can be used for signing the certificate at your provider. Southparkfan (talk) 20:24, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Southparkfan, I just tried sending an email to the above address but it bounced back as undelivered mail. A message from noreply at miraheze dot org stated: "Your email to Phabricator was not processed, because an error occurred while trying to handle it." I also looked at both SSL sites and neither looked particularly easy to follow so I am not sure I would know what to do with the CSR if I had one.  Borderman   talk 23:35, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Helping out
Hey SPF, Samtar from enwp (myrcx on IRC) here - I stumbled upon miraheze from your phab profile :) I was wondering if there is anything I can help out with on the server side of things. Sysadmining is my current day job, I'm pretty familar with MW, Apache/nginx and puppet and what you're all doing here is awesome.

Our online configuration is available on GitHub and anyone is welcome to open pull requests, especially if they can help close tasks in our issue tracker. You're welcome to stick around Meta Wiki and browse our issue tracker to answer general questions and help with feature requests. If you'd like, you can create an access request on Phabricator and we will discuss it, although it's probably best you have contributions here (although expertise in software and outside experience is always appreciated!). -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Logo change request
Hey SPF, I would like to thanks you guys for this awesome work.

You had replied like this : "Hi Gbnavapara, thanks for participating in our survey. It is true you can't configure your wiki by default, this is something that we're working on as part of our goals for July-December 2016. We cannot give everyone full configuration access (since all wikis share the same LocalSettings.php), due to security reasons. Our goal is to introduce the 'ManageWiki' interface, which will allow you to configure some basic parts of your wiki. Our main goal here is to allow users to manage the configuration of the settings that are changed regularly on Miraheze (for example, the logo and favicon), and we might introduce the ability to change more settings after that."

I hope you guys are doing very good towards this improvement. Meanwhile, i had requested to change logo of my wiki : https://dditec.miraheze.org You guys did that, but it worked only for one page of my wiki. on other pages, default logo is still there. can you please help me?

Custom domain assistance request
I sent the below to csr@miraheze.org and it bounced. So, trying here.

Miraheze recently initiated this site for me: https://jacksonheights.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page. Thanks.

My intent is to create a third level domain "wiki.JacksonHeights.nyc" that resolves to the wiki located at JacksonHeights.miraheze.org. And I'm not sure how to do this. Your directions seem to say I should substitute "ns1.miraheze.org" and "ns2.miraheze.org" for "ns12.hellodotnyc.com"and "ns13.hellodotnyc.com." However, it seems to warn that the jacksonheights.nyc site "will become unreachable." I don't want this to happen.

FYI, from my registrar's site:

''You are using our DNS service. You can manage A, MX, TXT records. Nameservers are given to you by your hosting/email provider. If you are using an external hosting/email, please inquire with your provider. If you are using our DNS, Hosting or Email, do not change this configuration.''

Your guidance will be greatly appreciated. Also, please generate a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate.

Importing from Wikia
Hello Southparkfan! I don't know if this question has been asked before but is it possible for Miraheze to import a Wikia wiki? Or is that not possible? &#32;  CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  21:25, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is possible (you can request on Phabricator). Unfortunately, they don't provide file dumps so those are currently not possible. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 06:03, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh so are database dumps not the same? Say for example, I wanted to import the Marvel DC wikia? Would it not be possible to go over to Marvel Wikia Statistics Page, scroll down to databse dumps and download the "current pages" one.

&#32;  CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  09:26, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they provide XML dumps on Special:Statistics, those are what we import. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 15:52, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * But didn't you say it was not possible? &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  15:55, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Can deleted wikis be recovered?
I had a few that were removed from inactivity because I was gone for a few years. I decided to try contributing again and if the wikis are gone that's not a problem because I'm going to start over with new projects. I can't even remember what my old ideas were and I'm trying to make sense of the bot script I was working on. It would be useful to make something that admins without technical skills could interact with and I have ideas for extensions that would help admins without needing to ask for code edits.
