Issue after importing
After importing a template from the english Wikipedia, all infoboxes in my wiki seem to have been affected. The template in question was "Template:Infobox monarchy". It seems there is some kind of conflict after changes in the "Module:Infobox". Any help is appreciated. IvanCastroTheFool (talk) 17:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

About Inputbox
Please tell me the specifications of Inputbox. How do I resize the section level of the input box to create a new comment?

I want Inputbox to put (=== titlesub ===) under one big heading (== title ==) in the input box. Please tell me how to do it.--虎之介 (talk) 13:43, 18 April 2021 (UTC) 虎之介 (talk) 13:43, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

The discussion tab on Great Characters Wiki has been broken for months.
I can't use the discussion tab on Great Characters Wiki anymore, because whenever I try to do so, all I get is a lengthy error code and a message that says something along the lines of "Fatal exception of type "Flow\Exception\UnknownWorkflowdException"". This problem has been going on for four months and it hasn't been fixed yet. Can this be fixed or is it broken beyond repair? SuperStreetKombat (talk) 02:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Do you use StructuredDiscussions? Wiki JS   talk  18:01, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * They do InspecterAbdel (talk) 18:07, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems as of the wiki does, so we need a local bureaucrat,, or to remove the extension, as it seems to be related to that extension.  Wiki JS   talk  18:09, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't like flow. Disabling it is a good idea. InspecterAbdel (talk) 18:13, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * IMO, flow is a decent extension but is better for help pages, anything else should use DiscussionTools. Wiki JS   talk  18:24, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe this is likely related to a configuration issue on the wiki. For example, on that wiki, I believe, or perhaps a different wiki, I had to add the  to the   user group. Not saying that's the issue here, but it could be something like a namespace content model issue, potentially. StructuredDiscussions is actually a decent, fairly bug-free discussion extension. I do like it, and prefer it over the Comments or WikiForum extension. CommentStreams is also a good option, but the issue there is that it creates individual comment and thread pages, which can clutter things up when importing a wiki onto another platform. Dmehus (talk) 18:43, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You called me? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:26, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, on Great Characters Wiki, there is an error when users go on the discussion page. I get [Random Letters and Numbers] 2021-04-26 12:17:33: Fatal exception of type "Flow\Exception\UnknownWorkflowIdException". I suspect it is caused by the extension StructuredDiscussions, so disabling it might fix it. If not, you can re-enable it. Wiki JS   talk  12:19, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Protection
How do I protect pages so that custom-created user groups/non-protected priviledge can edit? On TestWiki, you can protect it so that only bureaucrats can edit it, but I don't know how you can do that, especially since that you can only protect it to only users, autoconfirmed users, or admins. InspecterAbdel (talk) 15:19, 23 April 2021 (UTC)


 * InspecterAbdel This requires a Phabricator request, though I can do it for you if you want, as it requires setting up restriction levels (which aren't configurable in ManageWiki) in  in the GitHub repository. What do you want for the name of the user right for the restriction level (i.e., like   for   users)? Dmehus (talk) 15:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Permission Help
Hi please I want a System admin to help deleted the extended confirmed user group in my famepedia wiki from the backend and its impossible for me to delete from over here. I wanna recreate it cuz I'm having some conflicts. Ugochimobi (talk) 21:58, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Ugochimobi We've just completed the addition of the restriction level, so I'm not sure why you're wanting to delete either that or your extended confirmed users group. Instead of proposing to delete something that was only recently added, can you instead describe what issue(s) you are having? The reason I ask is because I've tested protection on both wikis, and did not encounter any issues. Dmehus (talk) 22:18, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Am I confused?.., Lol I actually want the user group to appear like  but the name should be   Do you get me?  Ugochimobi (talk) 22:22, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Ugochimobi Oh, yes, I see what you mean, and I wondered if you intended for  to contain an initial capital letter or not. This can be changed if you really want, but the group name should not contain spaces and, ideally, underscores as well. If you just want to change the displayed name of the group, you would just define that with MediaWiki:Group-Extendedconfirmed and MediaWiki:Group-Extendedconfirmed. In the page text, you would type:  . I can create them for you if you want. Dmehus (talk) 23:10, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I want the page text to be  but I want the internal name to be   without any capitalization. for example,   for   Ugochimobi (talk) 19:31, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Ugochimobi Oh, okay. You can take care of the page text with the above-noted MediaWiki interface messages, though I would recommend, strongly, an initial character of the first word capitalized. And you can't delete the user group in ManageWiki? I mean, yes, I get the idea of wanting to delete and recreate that group, but it will mean another GitHub PR on the one wiki (the other wiki it's not capitalized). Are you still needing template editor protection as well, or do you think you might not need that at the moment? Dmehus (talk) 19:44, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. Just let go of the group. Yes i need the    protecton for both wikis.  Ugochimobi (talk) 19:51, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Glitched extension
I am an admin on Weather Radio Wiki, and there is a strange glitch that whenever you try to type something in the search bar, it will always say "No match was found". I have tried to find out what extension this is but all to no avail. What extension is it so I can disable it until it is fixed. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:45, 24 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hmm, that's strange. I tried it myself, and it looks like it doesn't affect the performance of the search bar, but I typed in the name of a valid page, and indeed it told me there was "No match." It looks like something is going wrong in the "autocomplete," though if you hit enter even if it says "No match was found," the search still returns the valid page as it should. Not sure what's causing it, but someone else may be able to help with that. Turtle84375 (talk) 20:17, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah. It also does it on mh:mixedtvshows:Mixed TV Shows Wiki. I have tried looking in the ManageWiki log for the specific extension but I couldn't find it. It could be a glitch with autocomplete. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:22, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I've heard that it can be the TitleKey extension, but I haven't looked into it myself. -- Void  Whispers 20:28, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:32, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I just disabled the TitleKey extension but it is still happening. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:35, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Have you enabled the Wikibase extension? If so, that is what must have caused it. You can disable this from the "Wikibase" section in ManageWiki. 20:39, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I will try that. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:39, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I disabled the extensions with “wikibase” in the title but it still happens. I couldn’t find a specific “wikibase” extension, but in the Additional Settings there is a whole category called wikibase but no extensions with that title. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:44, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Hola User:Blubabluba9990. Puede ser esta extensión: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AdvancedSearch (la segunda de la lista "otros").
 * En la página de Mediawiki dice: Había una extensión con el mismo nombre que no se mantuvo y nunca estuvo lista para su uso en un entorno de producción y se archivó en 2013. Extensión archivada.

 * Hello, User:Blubabluba9990. It can be this extension: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AdvancedSearch (the second in the "others" list).
 * On the Mediawiki page it says: There was an extension with the same name that was unmaintained and never ready for use in a production environment and was archived in 2013. Archived extension.
 * I still don't know where (I'm new around here), but it would be necessary to warn to remove it from the Manage Wiki list. Best regards. Hugo Ar (talk) 02:17, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I already fixed the problem. And I had tried Advanced Search prior but it wasn't the problem extension. This problem has been fixed though.
 * I would suggest maybe fixing the Wikibase extensions since that is what caused the problem. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 14:42, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Requesting Bureaucrat status on the.
Since the original bureaucrat of the Amazing Gameplay Wiki is no longer around, I'd like to become the next bureaucrat of that wiki as I've made this announcement on that said wiki. In short, I would appreciate it if I was casted as a bureaucrat since the other one is no longer here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * DarkMatterMan4500 This isn't really in scope of community noticeboard, unless you're asking how to go about this. Generally speaking, in such cases where local bureaucrat(s) are relatively inactive, you need to hold a local election, ideally already being a constructive and productive contributor to the wiki, following these guidelines and taking into account any local permissions elections policies on the wiki as may exist. When your election has concluded, you can post your request at stewards' noticeboard for a Steward to review. Dmehus (talk) 13:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Pulling info from Wikidata
Is it possible to pull data from Wikidata into a Miraheze wiki? Like I want to on a page just add the Wikidata ID and pull some properties (if they exist). --Sabelöga (talk) 23:19, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * You can either import dumps of the items and properties from Wikidata or add Wikidata as an import source (should be requested on Phabricator) for your wiki which would add Wikidata to Special:Import allowing you to directly import items and properties directly without downloading dumps. Is that what you are looking for or do you want automation? 16:03, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Arcversin While that is definitely an option, yes, to the best of my knowledge, Special:WikiDiscover should actually be a complete list of Miraheze wikis, as even private and deleted wikis are included in that list. If your reason for suggesting Special:WikiSets/1 is because it includes one, comprehensive, alphabetically sorted list of all wikis within a single page, yes I'd agree with that and was the impetus for me creating this Phabricator feature request for the WikiDiscover extension. I wouldn't mind also an option to select the number of results per page (similar to Special:Log). Dmehus (talk) 02:02, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Miraheze's Logo
I have been wondering this for a while now, but what does Miraheze's logo represent? I always thought it was a honeycomb, but then I looked at it and thought it was a flower.

 * Blubabluba9990 Yep, you got it&mdash;the Miraheze logo is indeed a honeycomb. As to what inspired its design or who the original designer is, I'm not sure. If I had to guess, the centered honeycomb in the middle represents community, and the outer honeycomb represents locally-operated and -edited wikis, each coming together and forming the global community. Perhaps Reception123 knows. Dmehus (talk) 15:21, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

 * It doesn't work in my wiki. Just the buttons look like it works. InspecterAbdel (NLW) 16:23, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you have a CharInsert extension? Anton (talk) 16:40, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Anton They said they do above, but I haven't checked it to be sure. Dmehus (talk) 17:31, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. I can't check it because access to the wiki is restricted. Anton (talk) 17:41, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * InspecterAbdel. Activate the charinsert extension. In your wiki you should go to  →   →   Hugo Ar (talk) 17:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I already did that. But Charinsert only makes buttons that don't do anything. InspecterAbdel (NLW) 18:14, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * InspecterAbdel. On the page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CharInsert it says:
 * These links are usually used in MediaWiki:Edittools (example on this wiki) system message.
 * Use or  . Anton (talk) 15:14, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm admin in Mockupedia but I can't edit pages like the login/create account/preferences page, so how I can do that? I mean, if I have to edit a CSS or JS page for that, if that is how I can do that, so which CSS/JS page and which code I have to add? (Sorry if my English is awful) FtosorciM (talk) 15:26, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki:Common.css. You can edit it. All styles and layouts of your wiki can be customized on the Common.css page. What do you want to customize? Say it, so I can better help you know what code you need to add. Anton (talk) 15:50, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It's possibly a restriction on MediaWiki. MarioMario456 (talk) 16:21, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * So, CSS and JS are restricted on special pages for mainly security reasons. On Special:CreateAccount and Special:UserLogin, specifically, the concern is for potential security vulnerabilities on special pages used to authenticate users. So, unfortunately, this won't be possible. If you mean how come some wikis have custom CSS and JS on their special pages, that is because some skins, like the Cosmos skin, have hard-coded this into the skin, and the skin has undergone a security review. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 03:44, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Can't sign in to any other wikis
I am having issues with signing into all of the wikis. I have cleared my cookies from the last 7 days and i still get the "login cancelled" error. I don't want to wipe my all time cookies because it deletes my saved passwords. Tkgaynor (talk) 19:33, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Tkgaynor You shouldn't need to delete all your cookies. Rather, you just need to search your saved cookies for, then delete those. Additionally, check your global accounts for any wikis you've visited that have custom domains, and search for those custom domains in your cookies, deleting those as well. Then, in a new web browser window in incognito or private browsing mode, go to Special:UserLogin on Loginwiki and login, followed by Special:UserLogout. Once that's done, then return to regular web browser mode, and go to Special:UserLogin and login again. Dmehus (talk) 03:53, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

A question
How do I make certain logs appear in recent changes? (Like avatar upload, abuse filter, and page creation) InspecterAbdel (NLW) 15:05, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure if it's on ManageWiki. If it isn't, ask on Miraheze Phabricator. — Mario Mario  456  15:46, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * AbuseFilter or AbuseLog will not be visible for recent changes. Anton (talk) 15:52, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * InspecterAbdel Abuse filter changes and abuse logs will not appear in RC, as far as I'm aware. I personally wish they did, but this would need an upstream Wikimedia Phabricator feature request. Page creation logs can be enabled in Special:ManageWiki on your wiki. Not completely sure about the avatar upload log, but this should also be possible as well. If not, you'd probably need to file an upstream Wikimedia Phabricator feature request for the SocialProfile extension. Dmehus (talk) 15:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * As for the abuse logs and abuse filter changes, you can just check Special:AbuseLog and Special:Log/abusefilter on-wiki on regular basis. Perhaps add it to your calendar as a recurring event item? Dmehus (talk) 15:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

IP Editing
I have added the writeapi and createpage permissions to the  group and IPs still can't create nor edit pages in FAMEPedia. Please help Ugochimobi (talk) 08:25, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Is  permission enabled? Writeapi has nothing to do with editing or creating pages. Have you also verified that the codes you added are not in the $wgRevokePermissions variable? --Anton (talk) 09:02, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have the  permissions enabled and how can I know which permission is revoked? Ugochimobi (talk) 10:32, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I checked your wiki settings (ListGroupRights) and there were no revoke permissions. They would have been pulled over ( this way ). However, I logged out, and at least I would have been able to create a new page on your wiki. Anton (talk) 13:20, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh. Ugochimobi (talk) 15:22, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you have  set to , or the EditSubpages extension enabled on your wiki? Both of those  either (a) preclude anonymous users from editing or (b) cause a conflict that precludes anonymous user editing. Dmehus (talk) 14:11, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know if  is set to true and I don't have the EditSubpages extension enabled. Ugochimobi (talk) 15:24, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Go to Special:ManageWiki/permissions/* and add "edit" and "create". — Mario Mario  456  14:12, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have that already and it's still not working tho Ugochimobi (talk) 15:25, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Ugochimobi I can edit logged out on this page (if I wanted to). So I'm not sure why you can't. It seems to be either a page-specific protection issue. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Ugochimobi Oh no, nevermind, I can't, per, "You must confirm your email address before editing pages. Please set and validate your email address through your user preferences." So, yes, you'll need to either (a) disable  in Special:ManageWiki/settings, or (b) just effectively disallow anonymous user editing. Dmehus (talk) 15:30, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Okay I'll do that now Ugochimobi (talk) 15:40, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds good. Dmehus (talk) 15:45, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

CSS
Can anyone tell me what elements the tabs (Page, Discussion, Read, Edit, etc.) use in CSS, and how to color them? InspecterAbdel (NLW) 16:22, 5 May 2021 (UTC)


 * So you want to change the background color of the page or just some tabs/sections? Or do you mean what you see at the top of each page before the content starts (Project Page, Talk, Edit, Edit source, Move)? Anton (talk) 16:38, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The tabs. The ones that says edit, history, etc. I don't want them white, I want them to be colored as #A0522D InspecterAbdel (NLW) 18:16, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. Then copy this code:
 * Thanks. Anton (talk) 18:32, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Doesn't work for some reason. This is what my MW:Common.css page looks like:
 * Is there something wrong with it? InspecterAbdel (NLW) 19:02, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Also the colons were added as a result of this reply. InspecterAbdel (NLW) 19:04, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * NVM, it works, but how do I (sorry) change the color of the link in the tabs? InspecterAbdel (NLW) 19:13, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete colons. It not works. What link you mean? Anton (talk) 19:51, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * When you click "edit", it's a link. The colons were because of the reply link, not the original page. InspecterAbdel (NLW) 19:54, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I removed those colons for you. Turtle84375 (talk) 20:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Sorry
I would like to apologize for getting carried away.--Iron Sword 23 (talk) 22:58, 5 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Iron Sword 23 ✅! Yeah, it's probably best if you post one thread promoting your wiki on community noticeboard, add your wiki to Gazetteer of wikis, then join us on IRC, ideally in but also, and Discord to ask for specific help on your wiki. As a helpful tip, rather than proposing to create an English Wikipedia fork wiki, why not propose to create a wiki on a topic of particular interest to you, and, ideally, one of interest to others? Since there's, well, English Wikipedia, it's very difficult to attract interest from other editors to an English Wikipedia fork wiki. Dmehus (talk) 23:06, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Wiki
Does a comic book template wiki sound interesting --Iron Sword 23 (talk) 23:18, 5 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Iron Sword 23 It does, but it needs more detail. Do you mean comic book wiki templates, in  namespace for writing wiki comics? If not, what do you mean? Can you describe this in approximately 2-3 sentences? Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 23:21, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I just hope I don't get carried away with talk pages this time around. --Iron Sword 23 (talk) 01:22, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Iron Sword 23 I mean, you could try telling yourself that you won't discuss your wiki on other users' user talk pages on Meta Wiki, unless they specifically ask you about your wiki, of course? Dmehus (talk) 02:02, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

MediaWiki interface question
How do you change the text when you use "More" I found MediaWiki:Delete, MediaWiki:Protect, MediaWiki:Move, but they don't do anything. I even tried to test it using my now-locked AppleCrunchy sock back in September 2020, and it still didn't work. InspecterAbdel (NLW) 15:45, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Add &uselang=qqx to the url of the page and you will see the names of the system messages. You can edit them when you have admin rights, --LilyLilyu - smile.svg talk and I will listen · Lilypond Wiki 22:15, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Is there a way to hide the "Add as foe" button on SocialProfiles?
They can't be disabled due to limitations, but I question if there is a way to hide the link because they're forbidden on many of my wikis. — Mario Mario  456  21:17, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You can hide the button via CSS in the MediaWiki:Common.css e.g.  but be very careful when editing the MediaWiki:Common.css, maybe you try first   first to check if the right parts are affected,   is a very dangerous action in the MediaWiki:Common.css, if you enter this without selector your wiki is gone for good unless a global steward helps you out --LilyLilyu - smile.svg talk and I will listen · Lilypond Wiki 22:12, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Lily Interesting, but when you say "your wiki is gone for good," in what way? I don't doubt that, as you're quite knowledgeable when it comes to CSS and JS, but I'm just wondering if it would be a technical issue that require system administrators to handle with a maintenance script or database edit. Dmehus (talk) 22:27, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It would result in the entire wiki interface being hidden, which would make it impossible to edit without either using the API or just disabling the styles using the browser devtools. Nothing that would require sysadmin intervention to fix. — Arcversintalk 02:54, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I accidentally added following code to the common.css, which resulted in a blank page when I accessed the wiki. Is there a way to deactivate the common.css? I had to rename the common.css in the database to get my wiki working again (not on Miraheze), maybe there was an easier way, I would appreciate it to hear from that, thank you, --LilyLilyu - smile.svg talk and I will listen · Lilypond Wiki 10:24, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for clarifying. I was having trouble visualizing what the solution would be, so in that case, it may not even need a Steward; rather, it just needs someone with the necessary local permissions to edit via the API or just first disabling their web browser's CSS/JS. Dmehus (talk) 13:36, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Ideas?
Hey all, I'd like to start a public wiki, as a balance-out to my current private wiki (it doesn't have to have anything to do with TurtleWiki though), but I thought I'd get your guys' ideas for what would be a common interest that people would actually enjoy editing on. I tried with a previous public wiki, but it didn't really hit off, so I've closed it and will likely let it go dormant, but I still want to experience both ends in terms of running a wiki. So, any topic/scope ideas? Thanks, much appreciated! Turtle84375 (talk) 04:20, 7 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Do you use scratch? Maybe Scratchwiki is a good idea (scratch.miraheze.org) InspecterAbdel (NLW) 14:13, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm, the only problem with that is that Scratch already has its own wiki lol, but I do have an account. Turtle84375 (talk) 17:36, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
