New wiki
Yes, it was my fault for lack of time. But now I'm focusing mainly on just these wikis: nanatsunotaizai, tokyoghoul, thehushhushsaga; And the new one that would be shingekinokyojin

Wiki Request
Hey there,

I mistakenly requested a new wiki at a custom domain (request 3034).

Could I request that the domain be, rather, a subdomain styled as: overon.miraheze.org?

Thanks for your time.

All the best, -Veldias

Un lock on my wiki
Can you unlock me on my wiki nasa.miraheze.org or make the user chicken nugget the sysop and bureaucrat

Hi Friends
Hello Reception. I would start contributing with wiki creator and I can help with create wiki (such as requested), and I already read the Wiki creators and Wiki creators guide. :-) Sptr (talk) 01:32, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Since it is sysadmins discretion, I'd say even though you're fairly new here, we could give it a try. I can technically grant the right, but it's easier if a steward does it, so I'll ask one. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:14, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. I will wait :-). And I think can use a confirmed user group to exempt from captcha. But it no problem to wait for 4 day Sptr (talk) 10:25, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I have not seen you active for the past days. Please show some activity if you are still interested in wiki creator. --Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 18:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Help needed
Hi, I see you upgraded to the latest version of MediaWiki sometime in August. I'm aware of the tangent, but is it possible for you or another admin to help this guy? He's looking to move a wiki, but he's relying on that extension (I think with no other option) and having trouble with it. --UltimateKuriboh (talk) 01:45, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the AuthManager extension so I wouldn't be able to provide any good advice. --Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:23, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Another copyright question
A colleague wrote a sample lab that I posted at https://freecollegeproject.miraheze.org/wiki/File:WSUL_lab_report_template.pdf
 * Can I post this under "fair use" using his oral permission? Do I need to include his name?  Can I post it as a Wright State Document (since I am an employee of that university?)  If I can't post it on the public wiki freecollegeproject.miraheze, can I post it on the private wright.mirahez so I can at least show it to students during a lecture?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 12:44, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * (PS. Personal opinion) I'd prefer if it is written. commons:COM:Email templates is a good template, and it's easy to use. &mdash; revi  05:28, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I am 100% committed to the survival of Miraheze. That means we can't take legal risks, but also that we shouldn't waste our time evaluating potential risks if there is another way.  From my perspective, there are two possibilities: (1) Miraheze needs to be careful about copyright infringement, or (2) Many in Miraheze (falsely) believe that this caution is necessary.... I don't care which statement is correct, and don't want Miraheze wasting valuable time on this.  In the future, I will post files with questionable copyright issues somewhere else, and link to them out of Wikimedia and Miraheze wikis.  At the moment, the only place I know about is subpages to my university site at http://www.wright.edu/~guy.vandegrift/.  Give me some time and I will move all questionable files there.  At the moment, my university is too preoccupied with budgetary and other issues to notice.  If you know of a better place where we can move these "risky documents", let me know.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 16:03, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It took me a few minutes, but I think I found a good place for these files. So far, I only moved one, which is a link out of my main Wikiversity Lake Campus page, which now looks like this:

*Lab report template at two locations: obsolete and preferred

Importing problem
Hi! I'm trying importing other page now. But everytime it's failing. What's wrong with me? TALK  CONTRIBUTION  14:46, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

TALK  CONTRIBUTION  15:00, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That is what I got the first time. Are you sure you did the export process correctly (Using Special:Export and Import)? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:55, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

! yes, i'm sure. i did it perfectly everytime. but the message showing each time. TALK  CONTRIBUTION  12:23, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * If there aren't too many pages I guess I could import them for you, but I don't see why it seems to not be working for you. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 12:28, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Translator issue
I noticed that "translate" right has been added to confirmed user group but I still can't update some outdated translations on the Main Page or CheckUser. When I try to edit the translations, it says "You need translation rights to translate messages."--Tiger (talk) 13:13, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why since you're "autoconfirmed". To be sure, I've now made you "confirmed" so please try now. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:52, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I've just made a translation. Maybe the autoconfirmed group doesn't inherit rights that confirmed users are granted?--Tiger (talk) 22:17, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realized. This was fixed by also adding it to the autoconfirmed group. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 15:39, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

FAQ
I mentioned on the Administrators' noticeboard that your post-edit of FAQ needs additional editing. 16:14 21-Oct-2017
 * Oh, sorry. I didn't see the post. I will read it. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:16, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

No, you still have a paragraph starting "When using this extension" but you deleted the paragraph that says which extension! More to the point, if dismissable site notices are only available globally, then the reader of FAQ will never need to deal with MediaWiki:Sitenotice_id. If the reader does, then I am confused, and FAQ doesn't rectify the confusion. 16:31 21-Oct-2017
 * I've updated it to make more sense. DismissableSiteNotice is enabled globally, but that does not mean that it only applies to global site notices. -- Void  Whispers 16:51, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

I see the distinction. There are a few typos left, such as a red-link to Content policy and "poliies" on the next line.

And here is a FAQ for you. Who is following me around on TheMirror and uploading a helpful photo just before I finish using Special:Upload? It seems that my File: namespace is a view to Wikimedia Commons, and if I should try to load a filename that they have, it recommends that I use theirs. 00:27 23-Oct-2017
 * This is because of InstantCommons which allows any non-WMF wikis to be able to use Commons files. If you don't need/want it it can be disabled. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

No, it's fine. It's helpful, just not explained anywhere. 13:04 23-Oct-2017
 * Since more people have asked about this, it's a great question to be added to the FAQ. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 13:06, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks; thought I was losing my mind, etc.; I propose this text to ask the question the way the reader would ask it, and provide specifics for the Phab request:

Why does it say the file I'm trying to upload is already there?
All Miraheze wikis begin with the InstantCommons extension installed, which gives wikis outside the Wikimedia Foundation access to media in Wikimedia Commons. When you use  to add a photo to your wiki, the response suggests that the photo is already uploaded! This simply means there is a photo in Wikimedia Commons by the same name. You can use that photo immediately. Or, if you prefer your own photo, you can complete the upload. That name, on your wiki, will now refer to your photo.

If you don't want your wiki to work this way, then request that InstantCommons be disabled on your wiki.
 * Thanks for the more detailed explanation. The only thing I changed is the word extension, since it was transfered from an extension to an integration in the MediaWiki software. --Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:12, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Reception123, thanks for renaming part-up.miraheze.org to r2.miraheze.org. What I also would like to change is the logo and the sitename of the wiki. Is this something I can do myself? Timboliu999 (talk) 13:09, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Miraheze on Wikipedia
I decided to add Miraheze to W:Comparison of wiki hosting services. I've added full citations on most information and everything is perfectly alright according to Wikipedia policy so no "notability" shit should be mentioned by some bureaucratic editors. Anyway, I just want to get the green light if this is ok? I just felt that Miraheze by far gives the best experience of running a Wikipedia style wiki and I believed Miraheze would be more discoverable if it was linked more on Wikipedia. &#32;  CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  00:12, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is how I found out about Miraheze. It is a minor "notability" problem that most of your citations about Miraheze are citations from Miraheze, but the entries on the other services have the same problem.  You should put your new entry in alphabetical order among the others.   00:25 30-Oct-2017
 * I seen that I was only putting in Miraheze citations but I put an Alexa citation in as the site has a better ranking then some of the other sites listed. So if they want to remove Miraheze they will have to remove the rest which will not happen.

&#32;  CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  01:08, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Someone reverted the edits, but I just left a message on their talk page. MacFan4000 (talk) 02:00, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * A bunch of us have been on the page and seem to be viewed as having a conflict-of-interests. It will take more than asserting that Miraheze is useful or friendly or all of the above.  You will have to convince Wikipedians that it is notable, measured by presence in unaffiliated press articles that can be cited.  They will not be interested in testimonials, no matter how many.   02:30 30-Oct-2017
 * It's a good idea to want to add Miraheze to that page, only myself (and other users) have tried before, and there has already been a discussion about adding it (I did mention the Alexa ranking and other things, but that did not change their view). Wikipedia will only let the page be added if Miraheze gets its own Wikipedia page. We have tried that too, only it was declined since it was not "notable" enough, and didn't have enough sources (see here). We are now waiting for someone to write about us, so we can get a reliable source. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 06:12, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Once again, that is complete utter bullshit (pardon my language). Miraheze only lacks a few citations but has a Alexa ranking than most sites. I will fight this &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  10:29, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I hope we will convince them, but as I said there was already a discussion about this on Wikipedia. I provided many sources, and other wikis, but they apparently only want articles or "notable" sources. I'm not sure what we can do to convince them otherwise. I think that the table they have is unfair. My opinion is if they don't want to include some wiki farms, then they should just get rid of the page and redirect it to the MediaWiki.org one, but in it's current state it is unfair to non-profit farms or smaller farms (even though we do have higher Alexa rankings than others) which don't necessarily have the means to have many articles written about them. I'm not sure where it disappeared but you can see the discussion dif here, as well as this one. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 10:39, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Checked the article, its been reverted. I think I might propose the suggestion of redirecting the page to MediaWiki as it is unfair like you said. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  10:58, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Your most recent edit has not been reverted it seems. I propose that you explain the edit on the discussion page so that they don't revert it again. As I said, they should either have a wider inclusion criteria, or if not redirect the page. I doubt that they will let Miraheze on the list, so I think it will come to redirecting the page. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 11:08, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * What Wikipedia pros are telling you there is what we are telling you here. The first draft of this article read like, "We have a club, it is a great club, here is how our club works."  The latest draft reads the same way.  It is totally written to induce people to use the site (a goal that I am totally supportive of) and not at all written to make the case that the site has attracted attention (apart from robots at Alexa).  Site hits as measured by Alexa (and as easily faked by 'bots) are not their criterion.  Wikipedia's policies are designed to frustrate its use for self-promotion (which I am sure they have concluded) and to advance its use as a measure of what is found noteworthy by the independent media.  That is, someone in the press (that we are not paying) has to take notice of us as a wiki host.  "Or it didn't happen."   01:00 31-Oct-2017
 * PS Has been reverted now, edit summary, "Create the page first."  Persistence in violating Wikipedia policies is not viewed as a plus.  Creating the page first won't work.  What is missing is third-party coverage, such as notice in the press.  Without that, nothing else matters.  Again, the required emphasis for any article is not "Here is our swell wiki farm" but "Here is a phenomenon that the press noticed."   01:06 31-Oct-2017
 * Yes, they are looking for third-party articles.. Only I'm not sure where we could start, and how we could get that coverage. I have tried asking a few users who knew some local media, but there hasn't been any response. And for the article itself, once we have that source, could you maybe work on making it have less self-promotion and it being more Wikipedia like? Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 06:18, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Forgive the slow response! electricity has been out here for 42 hours after a garden-variety windstorm and I am in my car with an Android tablet. Regarding gaining notoriety, you have my opinion in a prior conversation on a Noticeboard that one usually has to pay for it, though renting a Home Depot truck and careening down a bike path also seems to work.  Someone needs to provide content of greater interest to the impartial observer than it is to the already-Miraheze user.   02:36 1-Nov-2017


 * Am back on the grid now. I have indeed copy-edited W:Draft:Miraheze to read a little more smoothly and to gather together the parts that are very technical.  I note in the edit summary that I don't claim my edit satisfies the Wikipedia Notability guidelines.  The article's only two attempts to establish Miraheze's notability (All The Tropes and Professor Vandegrift) in fact do not show it is notable to anyone but its own users.  That's the problem.   22:32 1-Nov-2017
 * We're really looking for the "reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject." Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 06:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Now, that is not the problem but a symptom. The problem is that Miraheze, while an excellent service provided by friendly people, has not yet done anything notable to the uninvolved, not even anything innovative except renounced fee-for-service, an experiment that might ultimately fail.  If Miraheze ("over 2,000 wikis") had become such a factor that Wikia ("several hundred thousand wikis") stopped jerking around its contributors in the service of advertisers and corporate branding campaigns — and if some pundit or academic wrote a paper showing cause-and-effect — then that would be news.  If the next jihadist used a Miraheze wiki to announce his murderous intentions before acting, then that would be news too.  A private club, running smoothly in a corner of cyberspace, is not yet news.   12:14 2-Nov-2017
