Welcome to Miraheze
Hello, Integer, and welcome to Miraheze! Miraheze is a free, non-for-profit wiki hosting service. If you would like to start a wiki please fill in this form or, if you'd like to contribute to an existing wiki, please see a few wikis here or the full list of wikis here. Note that (private) wikis aren't accessible unless you are given access, and closed wikis cannot be edited.

For more information, please see our FAQ. If you have any additional questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact us.

You are encouraged to create your user page, whether here on Meta (visible only when on Meta), or your global user page that visible on any Miraheze wiki where a user does not have a local user page and provided that the wiki has the GlobalUserPage extension enabled and, additionally, where the wiki is not using the SocialProfile extension. Should you decide to create your global user page on Loginwiki and wish for it to replace your Meta user page, simply add the delete template to the top of your Meta user page by copying and pasting this code, and an administrator should delete it promptly (usually within 24 hours).

If you have any questions, after first reviewing FAQ and the help center, please don't hesitate to ask at the community noticeboard, but please be sure to end all new topics or replies you make on talk pages, user talk pages (like this one), and noticeboards with four tildes to include both (a) a username and (b) a properly formatted timestamp for our talk page archiving bot.

Thanks,

Wiki Request #15724
Hi Integer,

Thank you for your kind words on your user page about Miraheze, and for your asking users to donate to Miraheze.

Regarding your above wiki request, it has been approved and created as a non-exclusive, general interest youth-targeted encyclopedia wiki, but a couple quick notes for you on that:
 * 1) Please do not try and attempt to create a complete fork of English Wikipedia, with its some 64 million content pages, as we simply do not have technical capacity to spare to just one wiki for that. As a more philosophical reason behind this, it becomes impossible for one user to realistically manage, enhance, edit, maintain, and combat vandalism on that many pages; and,
 * 2) General interest and knowledge encyclopedia wikis on Miraheze generally struggle to attract participating interest from members of the community, mainly because there's already Wikipedia, so you will quite likely be the only user editing your created wiki for a considerable period of time.

Again, thank you for choosing Miraheze, and for your kind words. :)

Cheers,

 * I understand and accept this. Thank you! Integer (talk) 14:55, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, cool, and ✅. Dmehus (talk) 15:00, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * @Dmehus Can you kindly enable the Extension:Validator for this wiki? It would make articles much better, and is quite important to retain article quality, otherwise there are lots of errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Integer (talk • contribs) 02:26, 19 December 2020‎ (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem like Validator is installed on Miraheze, when I look in Special:ManageWiki/extensions. So, can you please use this feature request form on Phabricator to create a request for this extension to be installed on Miraheze? Once security reviewers have given it the green light, then it can be installed by system administrators on Miraheze. Use the MediaWiki login button to create your Phabricator account if you haven't already done so. Dmehus (talk) 03:06, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you! Integer (talk) 04:49, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Spamming
You been blocked for spamming numerous user talks without reason, you can appeal, and if satisfactory you may be unblocked before then. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 23:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)


 * @User:Zppix My intention wasn't to spam, but put a welcome message. I did not realize that would be considered spam. If I am unblocked, I will not put these messages again, I promise. Integer (talk) 23:39, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Unblocked with a restriction of not being allowed creating pages that contain only a template for a period of 7 calendar days. If violated user will be re-blocked. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 23:42, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Understood. Thank you. Integer (talk) 23:43, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * To expand on what said above, while your welcome messages were good-faith, so I wouldn't consider them spam, the reality is that we do not add welcome to a user's Meta Wiki user talk page until they have made their first editing contribution (i.e., not just a log action) on Meta. The reason for this is two-fold. For one thing, users' accounts are automatically added to Meta and they may never participate here. Secondarily, often user accounts end up being sockpuppet accounts, spam only accounts, or throwaway vandalism only accounts, so there's no need to welcome those accounts merely for attaching their account. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 03:23, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That makes more sense. I will keep that in mind in the future. Thanks for letting me know! Integer (talk) 18:24, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Userbox template categories
Hi Integer,

I'm going to ask you to please investigate, and fix, Template:User hindu and Template:Thank Button so that your user page is correctly categorized by the templates. I could probably figure it out, but thought it a useful task for you to perform.

Many thanks,

 * Alright! Give me just a moment. Integer talk 18:53, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Could you please import them on Login Wiki? 19:03, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Could you please make these templates on Login Wiki as all global user pages (which are shown on all wikis unless a local one has been created is shown) are hosted there? You could then request them to be imported here on AN. 19:24, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅, I can try. Integer talk 19:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks! Creating them on Login Wiki ensures that a greater number of users can use it. :) 19:27, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅, and no problem! Integer talk 19:31, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstood me. I asked you to create new templates on Login Wiki only and request them to be imported here on AN. As for the already created ones, you should request a Steward on SN to import them to Login Wiki. And in my honest view, we do not really need so many userboxes. But having said that, I cannot see any harm in having them either. 19:53, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, ok. I thought you meant to just add them over there. Ok, I will keep that in mind going forward. Integer talk 19:54, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it has been done. Integer talk 19:22, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Just a Friendly Note
Hi, I noticed that you removed your message because you apparently thought my answer was better. Even though it is really your choice, this is not necessary. Thank you. 22:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Right, I just thought it was better to not confuse a new user. for the personal message though! Integer  talk 22:17, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
