Uncyclopedia 2
SO what is going on with this 'Uncyclopedia 2' project from ? I have blocked him from Uncyclopedia (wikia hosted) for a week for ignoring my request not to spam another website - Uncyclopedia 2. --Romartus (talk) 22:21, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * To update my own post. I see this article (as edited here - https://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Florence_Nightingale?action=history) appears on Uncyclopedia 2 (here https://uncyclopedia2.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Florence_Nightingale&action=history) with only one previous edit - from a bot. So all the previous article's history and contributors have been removed. I presume therefore this is going to happen to ALL articles imported - either from the Uncyclopedia hosted at Wikia or Uncyclopedia hosted independently? You know that's not on. --Romartus (talk) 13:17, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This is new information to me. Until that user had imported those hundreds of pages, the wiki appeared to be complying with copyright requirements, but now, due to the user's imports, it is not. I was also under the impression that Psl631 did not want to copy the contents of existing Uncyclopedias outside of setting up the basic framework (policies, templates, etc) needed to get the wiki working. I'll be keeping my eye on this as it develops. -- Void  Whispers 13:34, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I did not copy from the wikia uncyclopedia, I created pages from own work with some content copied from en.uncyclopedia, the Uncyclopedia.co wiki. -- Psl631 (Let's Chat!) 13:37, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I am aware of that, but imported over 3000 pages from the Uncyclopedia on wikia. --  Void  Whispers 13:46, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * In that case, I request those 3,000 pages are removed if sourced from Wikia hosted Uncyclopedia. How it should have been was for writers wanting to submit articles to Uncyclopedia 2 but only if the article was their sole effort or they had the agreement of ALL the other editors at Uncyclopedia (wikia). For the purposes of illustration, this was the arrangement made between Uncyclopedia (wikia) and Uncyclopedia.co back in 2013. --Romartus (talk) 14:04, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I have gone through the uploads. All seem to originate from Uncyclopedia (Wikia). I request 'King Lewis' account is blocked until we can resolve this. --Romartus (talk) 15:06, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Is it OK that I can block "King lewis" account indefinitely and remove him from the "admin" group on the uncyclopedia 2.0? -- Psl631 (Let's Chat!) 15:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

That may be a good idea. Should I setup a tool to delete all the imported pages? -- Void  Whispers 16:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I removed his permissions, and should I block him also? -- Psl631 (Let's Chat!) 16:16, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys for addressing this important issue. As I said, I have no objection to an Uncyclopedia 2 as such but not this way of filling up the wiki with articles. --Romartus (talk) 21:35, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I have a script running now that's deleting the articles. -- Void  Whispers 22:26, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Romartus (talk) 00:48, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I have blocked King Lewis FYI.-- 06:20, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

getting nav boxes to work
I noticed you weren't able to get navboxes fully implemented.

if you go to Wikipedia and grab all the code at this page MediaWiki:Common.css  and paste it in yours it should start to function better.... navbox use casscadeing style sheet code to get things up and running.Joel.e.Martin (talk) 02:26, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Questions about names and deleted wikis
Hello! I have 2 questions for you. Question1 Is it admissible to create a wiki with the name of a deleted wiki (I was admin)? Question2 I know the conditions and rules of deletion for a wiki, but can some data be retrieved eventually? Is there any chances (eventually) ? Question3 Will it be a premium feature one day, where you pay, and can keep a small, inactive wiki for a longer period?

Thank you! --PERCE-NEIGE (talk) 14:04, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you know when your wiki was deleted? If it was recent, there is a better chance of recovery. There is no reason you can't create a new wiki under the name of a deleted wiki (that's part of the reason we delete inactive wikis after all). It is currently possible to exempt wikis from the Dormancy Policy, provided they fulfill certain criteria. -- Void  Whispers 16:17, 15 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the quick reply. So, I will recreate it, but I doubt it qualifies for dormancy exemption, except if there's a way to have a premium.

Is it possible to have an exemption if I pay? I know your site is meant to be free, but I love your service, and my wiki may be inactive for a while, depending on my workload or burden of family.

To be able to recreate my wiki easily if something happens, is there a way to automatically backup it on a cloud service and on a personal hosted site (but that is not a wiki). I'm very novice, but I could try to learn if needed. I will ask you to recreate Cogitopédie, with a private part, and a public part (that I hope will be useful). Is it possible? and my last question: do you know how someone can use the extension called whitelist? Maybe there's better alternative for an hybrid private-public wiki?
 * Hello, you do not need to pay for an exemption. If you have a good reason (such as it can be used to be read or that you have to leave but you will return) it is perfectly fine for you to request an exemption. And no, we do not have that extension but it should be possible to do something from Special:ManageWikiPermissions. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 17:21, 18 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you!

The problem is that I don't have any "good" reasons, except my private & professional life, so, I think the best thing for me would be to find a way to backup the site. Do you know how I could backup automatically to a private place from my hosting provider?

So, could you recreate the wiki please for me, I will try to use the special page, but I don't know if I can make 2 categories of pages. One which I own all the rights, and one readable but not editable, by anyone on the Internet. I'd like to categorize pages like this.

Other question: What are the mediawiki extensions that are activable on a Miraheze wiki? EDIT: I see now the list of extensions that can be activated from my wiki. This question is closed. I' still seaching answers to the way to have private and public pages, and to be able to do automatic backups.

Quick question about storage
Is there a max number of files that wiki can host? I read somewhere that the number of images is pegged for 10mb Artix Kreiger (talk) 04:59, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * That is incorrect, we do not have a limitation for the number of files that a wiki can host currently. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:34, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * 10mb isn't the max size for one image, like on some other wikis?
