Delete my wiki
Hello! I wish for my wiki to be deleted

https://yourosongcontest.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

I would like to recover the wiki "https://fablac.miraheze.org/wiki/Accueil"
Good morning,

I am contacting you because I will wish to recover the wiki of our school. It's called "fablac". We are very disappointed not to find him again.

Thanks in advance. Have a beautiful day, Sophie

DNS Redirect
Hello guys,

I have made a DNS Redirect from my OVH Hosted domain so that http:// or https://zw.fontainebleau-avon.fr redirects to zero.miraheze.org

In my browser, when typing http://zw.fontainebleau-avon.fr/, everything seems to be fine to navigate in the Wiki, but if I click on one link on the left menu below the logo such as "Recent changes" or any other one, a blank page is displayed. It sounds that it does not work for any Special Pages.

Does anyone ever tried to do this ? Is this a normal behaviour ? How can I change that so that anyone reaching my Wiki from zw.fontainebleau-avon.fr has a correct behaviour ?

Thank you for your help, Kevain (talk)


 * Our website does not allow framing, at least over http connections. Please see Custom domains for information on actually using a custom domain, instead of framing or using masked redirects. (PS: The reason you see the blank page is indicated in the browser console: ) -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 04:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

How do i add a Infobox? i Know Barely anything about Coding on Wikis sadly.
Hi, i'm New here as i Moved from Wikia's Mass-Ad Festival to here which seems cleaner. Only Issue i have right now is Adding Infoboxes to my Wiki.
 * Hello and welcome! Please read FAQ.  (Better yet, read the entire page!)  Take care when importing code, because sometimes a template relies on other templates and you need to import them all.  You're right that it's "cleaner" to edit here than at Wikia, where they are always breaking stuff.  Templates are somewhat like subroutines in a programming language, and unfortunately, it will require learning about them, because even if you get them to work, you'll find you want to tweak them.   13:48 23-Mar-2019

Alden Loveshade
Overnight, the said user created an account here, was frustrated by having to undergo Captcha as I am too, was confused by the difference between the login site and the meta site, and reported at Wikia Uncyclopedia. He was already convinced that that wiki should move somewhere other than Miraheze and perhaps didn't apply himself to the task. However, if there are simple answers to his annoyances, someone might inform him; or better yet, analyze his gripe and see if the process of new user registration can be made clearer. 13:48 23-Mar-2019
 * Wish I could have responded to this sooner, but I've been a mixture of busy and in bad health these past few days. Since the page over there is protected, I'll make a few comments here.
 * This block sounds interesting, and could likely be caused by using a proxy, or just being unluckily overlapped with a range we've blocked for abuse.
 * Captcha's are always annoying, but it is the best one we've got.
 * You don't have to go to login.miraheze.org to make a user page, that's just for the global one (difference being that the global user page is shown on all wikis).
 * Because of spam, new users cannot put links on their userpages until they have made a few edits (like one or two). Then it's the captcha again.
 * It should always show that you are logged in, so something was probably off on your end? Dunno, that sounds really weird.
 * -- Void  Whispers 01:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Global user pages might be described at FAQ. At any rate, the vote has concluded and Miraheze did not win. Again, I don't know whether Alden wanted anything more than new reasons not to come to Miraheze. Likewise Rhubella, posting a screen shot of a Discord where you participated, but did not state that Miraheze will be broke in 8 months if no one contributes anything (an assertion apparently made before the news at Finances that several people have contributed this month, including one Wikia staffer.

Separately, I leave it to youse to decide whether user Alwam101 came to Miraheze for any purpose other than to troll me at Community noticeboard. 03:00 25-Mar-2019

CheckUser request - wiki vandal(s)
We have been having some issues yesterday and today on All The Tropes with user accounts being created for the purpose of moving pages to impolite names in Spanish. I request a CheckUser on :


 * "I BOT "
 * "Robkelk tem fimose" (already globally blocked - and, since that name is obviously libelous toward me, can it be removed altogether, please?)
 * "César‎"
 * "Arrombador‎"
 * "Moar Krabs"

Bureaucrat request
I'm an admin in Tolololpedia, but i'm not a bureaucrat in that wiki. The current bureaucrat was active 6 days ago, but i really need to setup the wiki's extensions and logo (since the deadline was 5 days to go). So can i be a bureaucrat? --Pradiptamf (talk) 07:41, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia bis
requests a wiki at Special:RequestWikiQueue/7693, stating, "Preparation for a fork, demanded by Fandom staff".

They certainly did not. They announced that they would cease hosting the original Uncyclopedia at the end of this month. (Like Brexit, it is not clear that that date is firm.) Uncyclopedians took a vote last week, considering Miraheze and electing to move somewhere else, despite the opinion of dissenters like me that the decision is tantamount to voting to suicide.

Artix may envision creating a wiki and inviting Uncyclopedia editors to move to it. But there are two problems. The wiki  is already taken, by a Chinese-language wiki. In addition, there are at least two other wikis here apparently created with the same thing in mind. At the least, everyone contemplating using Miraheze to create a new fork of Uncyclopedia should be asked to coordinate their efforts, especially if every new effort involves installing a copy of the 32,000 articles of Uncyclopedia. 01:53 28-Mar-2019
 * The subdomain issue can be modified if the Chinese side agrees with it (so what you need is to negotiate with them). Both Uninspired and Uncyclopedia2.0 are starting their projects from scratch, and are different from either .co or wikia, both of which with over 30k articles.
 * This kind of request is something I already predicted (and posted) on wikia (because of the failure of the reunification plan proposed by .co), and as I said there, there's no reason for us to decline the request, at least, based on our policies. It's rather... based on inter-wiki point of view that I hold some reqs regarding Uncycs (to avoid Uncycs getting more and more messy and to have a better relation with them), but no one can stop other wiki creators from creating them.-- 07:08, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The thing I do wonder is about the remaining disk space and the reported delay of imports by some of the other Uncyc communities here. I wonder what our sysadmins has to say with it.-- 07:37, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The way the vote was closed does not reflect its actual contents or the wishes of the community as a whole. If such a wiki is created here, though, it would be better for someone from that community to make the request. Flyingcat (talk) 22:26, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Asserting that Wikia Uncyclopedia is a "community" and requests for a Miraheze Uncyclopedia should come from that "community" immediately butt up against the strategic assertion, by .co, that there is only one "community" comprising Wikia Uncyclopedia and .co, the second of which can dominate any vote and already has its own hosting solution.  01:50 29-Mar-2019
 * I've declined the two requests you've made on the basis that they conflict with the existing wiki, and would need communication before they could be accepted. -- Void  Whispers 20:47, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Request to poach another user's name, round 3
A month has passed since my previous request (see Stewards' noticeboard/Archive 9). The owner of the abandoned account I am asking to poach did not respond to the notice by.

Checkuser Request

Thank you.

 * Davey2010 will be a stale account (>90 days). John (talk) 19:25, 4 April 2019 (UTC)


 * To kibitz, it might both be true that Davey2010 is a stale account and that Ariz has the same IP address, and that might be good for the Admin to know.  00:04 9-Apr-2019
 * The account is stale, therefore meaning we have no data on it. John (talk) 11:14, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Turning a wiki to private
Hello! My bad that I didn't submit this wiki to private right away. Is it possible to change it now? I've tried to do it in the wiki settings but I'm getting a fatal error. Gomez(say it) 10:25, 5 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, we have fixed the internal error now! Please try again. Paladox (talk) 13:30, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! I changed it to private, but I couldn't do anything on the wiki because every action was limited to the group member, and I couldn't change my user rights to said group. I had to go to the ManageWikiPermission page to allow bureaucrats (me) to add/remove members, then make me a member, and then finally I was able to use the site! Just saying in case someone goes through something similar. Gomez(say it) 22:02, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Multiple entries in Farmer log
has filed multiple requests, three minutes apart, evidently to create the same wiki. Yesterday, filed multiple requests, four minutes apart, likewise. I asked her about this and she remembered requesting her wiki only once.

The signature button is only visible in talk pages
I just noticed the button for adding you own signature is only visible in talk pages on nonciclopedia.org. This is a problem on technical pages where people add requests or reports, such as Wikipedia's Help desk, where signing in content pages is possible; the ability to easily sign is a must because most people won't bother copy/pasting the tildes and will leave unsigned messages.

Could you make it possible on nonciclopedia.org, in the "Nonciclopedia" namespace?--Wedhro (talk) 09:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC) P.S.

Making a private wiki public
Hello! A wiki was recently created for a worldbuilding project I have called Alduria. I initially requested the wiki to be private while I wrote and set things up. How can I make the wiki that is private now public? I only want guests to be able to read through the wiki, not edit any of the articles. Would be very thankful for any help or guidance in this matter. Thank you! --Edgard (talk) 16:20, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You can make it public with Special:ManageWiki, just uncheck the private checkbox and save the form. To restrict editing, use Special:ManageWikiPermissions to remove the edit permission from groups you don't want to be able to edit (the group "*" is everybody including anon users), and make sure that at least one group is still able to edit. -- Void  Whispers 16:40, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
