PDF Embed and CSS styling?
I have the PDF Embed parser hook extension enabled on my wiki, and it works without issue. However, I am wondering is there any way to change some fo the presentation/styling of how the PDF displays on the page via css (or some other method)? I am hoping to do things like changes the default background color, border/margin width, etc. for the display window the PDF is in. Ideally do things like make the background white like the page body, add a rounded border radius to the frame, etc. Thanks in advance. – Mitchell Gore (talk) 01:21, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Floating ToC
Is there a way to enable the floating ToC on my own wiki? Aaron Liu (talk) 19:08, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Formatting and/or CSS styling for Module documentation pages
I have been scrapping a bunch of Modules from Wikipedia, to bold-out a lot of compatible content compatibility for some scrapped content, and I was wondering how I can go about setting up the formatting and CSS styling for Module documentation subpages so they render properly (i.e. like standard documentation pages) when viewed on their corresponding Module page(s)? – Mitchell Gore (talk) 03:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC) Mitchell Gore (talk) 03:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Can't upload font, even with tff uploading enabled and "Ignore any warnings" checked
Hi, I'm trying to upload a font to a wiki of mine, but I'm getting an error when doing so. Upon pressing the "Upload file" button, instead of the file being uploaded, an error appears, reading: 'File extension ".ttf" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (font/sfnt).' This occurs even if "Ignore any warnings" is checked. What should I do to get around this? Realicraft (talk) 12:19, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Rename global Interwiki administrators group to "Global Interwiki administrator"?
Currently, the global Interwiki administrators group is simply known as "Interwiki administrator". This sometimes causes confusion as in name, there's no distinction from local Interwiki administrators and global ones. A user also recently asked me about this and whether the listing on one's CentralAuth of being an "Interwiki administrator" indicated they were one globally or on one wiki so the name itself isn't the best. We make distinction between roles such as a local sysop and a Global Sysop and local rollbackers and Global Rollbackers but seemingly don't when it comes to Interwiki administrators. As such, I propose that the global Interwiki administrators group be renamed to "Global Interwiki administrator" and it's group name be changed to "global-interwiki-admin," to match other groups like Global Rollbackers (global-rollbacker), Global IP block exemption (global-ipblock-exempt) and to provide further clarity about this positons reach. What does everyone think about this? Agent Isai Talk to me! 06:19, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I'd like to see "global" as part of the name.
 * I was wondering about that in Discord support. Until I found this post, I thought that all local Interwiki admins could do something globally.  I actually rationalized it down to that these folks were volunteers who were willing to learn to do something most wiki founders aren't quite ready to learn to do for themselves...

 * I would this as well, it's well within reason and makes sense to match. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 13:26, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds sensible to me. --Raidarr (talk) 14:11, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This change would remove ambiguity, easy . --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 23:20, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

can't open my page
Hi, I can't have access to a page that was created last year : Mutu (miraheze.org) Can you help for a new access please ? 2A01:CB19:257:B400:89A7:8545:5DE0:755D 14:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you're asking. Could you provide a link to the page you want to access? Collei (talk) 19:20, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

I believe I have lost admin permissions on my own Wiki
I haven't accessed my wiki in awhile but I have had friends working on it, when I accessed to confirm more users and more bureaucrats I found out I can no longer access user rights or user groups. I created this wiki, what has happened? Garfieldhub (talk) 23:08, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Why is my template in this form definition page not working?
Hello and thanks!

I've tested the code in this template already and know that it works when used directly in a form definition page, but when I place it in a template and then call that template into the form definition page of this form it is not displaying correctly when filling out the form. The "for template" and "field" calls are not working.

I believe the error has something to do with transclusion of the pipe characters and I tried using the | trick, but I'm not getting what I'm expecting.

Thanks for your help.

How it works...
I am tentatively interested in using Miraheze as a private website, without others making edits to articles, but possibly keeping the talk page open for input. Can that be done? 2601:200:4000:5D90:756E:608E:5E67:C4E0 03:33, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes. That is how my private wiki was arranged before I reset it. You can set regular spaces to protected mode and leave talk pages unprotected using Special:ManageWiki/namespaces. It's slightly tedious with this method (going through each namespace to make sure regular is protected and talk is open) but it worked for me well when done. Raidarr (talk) 04:36, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That sounds good. Thank you. ~ 2601:200:4000:5D90:E5F9:D27F:C443:A294 16:00, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Real Life Villains Wiki
I feel like a fresh restart of the wiki, would help people cite sources of what they did wrong.

However, I am not sure if they are willing to do that considering it violates Miraheze's Code Of Conduct/TOS. Nidoking (talk) 13:32, 28 February 2023 (UTC)


 * If they're willing or not is secondary to the fact such a scope would likely no longer be accepted because of long term policy concerns even with the promise of 'doing it right next time'. To be clear the issue is neither the Code of Conduct nor the Terms of Service, which rarely have scope/wiki wide effects (not unheard of thought): It is typically the Content Policy which is the concern, including in this case. --Raidarr (talk) 13:38, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
