Using a bot
Hi, I'm trying to implement a bot on my Bus.miraheze.com wiki, it's based on pywikibot. When saving a page, I keep getting error

req['captchaid'] = captcha['id'] KeyError: 'id'

It seems that if my bot is submitting a few words, it is fine, but as long as it's a long string, it will throw this error. I've googled around, but cant find a solution. Can you help me with making sure it is not captcha problem? Thx. Ww9980 (talk) 22:17, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, problem has been solved. Please ignore me. Ww9980 (talk) 22:22, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Errors found in extension
Hello,

It appears on my encyclopedia that there are some errors within the database. Whenever I attempt to go to my social profile I get the following:

"A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.

Function: UserProfile::getProfile Error: 1146 Table 'micropediawiki.user_profile' doesn't exist (185.52.1.77)"

May you possibly fix this for me? Thanks!--Kaiser (talk) 15:07, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed now. Southparkfan (talk) 15:40, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Request- Current All The Tropes Dump
A while ago [at Orain] I got a copy of ATT dump file to make a private copy of ATT as an educational project. The dump file currently available at archive.org is dated August 2014. I asked in the ATT forum here about getting a current dump and was told by GethN7 to make that request here. Thanks!

Storage server
I read the discussion on IRC about database storage space and I suggest one of these servers for the databases and images. They have a lot more space then the SSD cloud servers. D4rkst4r (talk) 20:24, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * @D4rkst4r: a RamNode (our current host, so RamNode is actually preferred if possible) 512MB CVZ has 25GB (SSD-cached) space more, 1TB bandwidth more and 1 more CPU, all for the same price. So Vultr is not an option :) Southparkfan (talk) 21:16, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Visual Editor Error
When pressing "Edit" It does nothing really but reloading the page,

If when pressing "Edit Source" It works perfectly!

I guess its a Visual Editor Error.

The Wiki is: development.miraheze.org

Dormancy Policy
Hey fellow Miraheze community members. NDKilla, new steward, here to propose discussion! Current drafts and edits to the proposed Dormancy Policy draft haven't really received much input. I've created a highly edited version of the draft, and would like community input before starting to implement it. Please leave comments on the proposals here or on the respective draft's talk page! Note that I propose moving (and leaving a redirect) of the accepted proposal to Dormancy Policy and making sure users see it! (maybe include it on Special:RequestWiki. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 19:24, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Comments

 * My draft as proposal drafter. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 19:24, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I support most part of the policy, but as I said on the talkpage I don't think that we should keep wikis that were never edited, but the rest I think is great. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:05, 25 December 2015 (UTC) As for the new changes now I agree fully to this policy. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 08:23, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Nothing to say really.
 * It looks like the wiki will be deleted after 180 days of inactivity/changes. If that's still true I support it. Bulrush (talk) 14:03, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * My version of the draft states that wiki's may be locked after 60 days of inactivity but they may of course be unlocked. They are eligible for deletion after 180 days of inactivity. Wikis may also request exemptions from this policy. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 21:51, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Global Interface editor + Questions
Hi, if it is possible counting 1 January 2016, I would need "Global Interface editor" so I can place notices on wikis. Also, do we still have the inactivity script? And how will I do the closing, will I use LockDB? Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:39, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Actual closing will happen by any MediaWiki sysadmin (tutorial will follow shortly). All wiki creators will get a global group I guess. Southparkfan (talk) 11:23, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, so closing will be done on the DBlist. Then, is there a way to make the DB list accessible by wiki creators? (I don't think there is any way of making a group on command line that limits editing one file). Reception123  (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 11:56, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Backup pulled from archive.org (Izanagi.miraheze.org)
Hi or anyone else,

Imported backup xml from archive.org. The problem now is that none of the Category pages seem to be listing their respective pages. Could you look into this plz? Also, changes I make to Mediawiki:Common.css won't show up (not immediately anyways despite refreshing cache). Oberyn (talk)

NOTE: About the categories: The pages that were not being displayed in their categories were put there within a condition specified in a template. Normal categories using the Oberyn (talk)
 * Hi, can you give some examples of this? The MediaWiki:Common.css issue should be fixed now btw. Southparkfan (talk) 15:50, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

...The Notorious Ogre Turtle page, as you can see from the list at the bottom of it, is a part of a series of categories: Bestiary, Monsters of Old Wood Forest, BossesField Boss, Animals, and Level 16 to 20 Monsters. However, visiting those category pages will give you the message, "This category currently contains no pages or media." Please note that pages such as Notorious Ogre Turtle were automatically put into their respective categories from a template, Template:Beast, I had included. Whenever someone inserts a Beast template and fills in its values, it will automatically be included into its respective categories (The "if" code was used. Example: ). Please also note that this issue only persists with "automatic categories"..pages included into categories normally work fine (By normally i mean with the command at the bottom). The "automatic categories" worked fine in our Orain wiki. The current issue is most likely due to something to do with the import process. Anyways..thank you for the help. Looking forward... Oberyn (talk)
 * Should be fixed now. Please let me know if you need something else. Southparkfan (talk) 16:08, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I had requested this on the "request features/extensions" but I doubt it would be looked at anymore since it was already marked DONE. Could you remove the MobileFrontend extension from my wiki (Izanagi.miraheze.org)? I've been told it's a global extension? I just don't want my wiki to be viewed in mobile format; it looks weird. Also...i just want to say that we are extremely grateful for the service you all are providing us. My team will be thrilled to hear that the wiki will be back up for editing. For their sake... How can i go about downloading xml-backups of the entire wiki? I'm aware of page-by-page exporting. Thanks Oberyn (talk)
 * Hi, I will try to see what I can do about MobileFrontend being disabled on your wiki. As for backups do you want old backups or someone to do backups of today? <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 17:26, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the looking into mobilefrontend. About the backups..don't worry about it: I just wanted to know if the option was available. Will request one when we make enough progress. Thanks for the prompt replies. Oberyn (talk)

Index Wiki ( transferred from Administrators' noticeboard )
Can it have a link on the main page or sidebar so new users know they can go to it and create a page about their wiki or find information about existing wikis? D4rkst4r (talk) 22:40, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you mean. <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 03:57, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The sidemenu Is global, And not only in the index page. As well - Only wiki sysop's can edit the sidemenu, and Even Stewards cannot change it. SleepyMode  11:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * D4rk, do you mean you want Index wiki to be on the sidebar of Meta wiki? Or all wikis? If the wiki grows and looks helpful we might link it here, but probably not globally. Also, SleepyMode, what you said about Stewards not being able to do that is not true, as Stewards have most if not all of the permissions local sysops have, we just don't use them as much on other wikis. Specifically, Stewards do have read, edit, editprotected, and editinterface globally, which are all of the rights required to edit the system interface on any wiki. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Request for adding testwiki to Dormancy policy exceptions

Extension:MultiUpload disabled globally
I've gone ahead and disabled Extension:MultiUpload on all wikis where it was enabled. This extension is throwing end-user server 500 errors, has been unmaintained, and I haven't personally seen it working since MediaWiki 1.24 (we are currently running ). I'd personally recommend Extension:MsUpload if you still need bulk-uploading functionality, but you might want to look at other things that extension does, or find your own alternative. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

ric.miraheze.org
Hello. Last 10th november I got my wiki at mirahaze. ric.miraheze.org

I have a problem, I enter with my user account and it seems I have no administrator and bureaucrat permissions.

Could you make me administrator and bureaucrat?

And also this other users: https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:SergiDiaz&action=edit&redlink=1 https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:RenéMérou&action=edit&redlink=1 https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pablo2garcia

If you do now want or can add them as admins and bureaucrats I would need to change my password in order to give it to them, since I am not so tech savvy, and let them do the initial setups. And I could not change my password. If you could change it for: "maravilla". But our first option is to make them admins and bureaucrats.

Also we would want to change the settings so users can create pages, and the default user language. What configuration files must we change? Just give us a hint, we will study it.

And is it possible to download back ups of the whole wiki? How?

Thanks a lot for your time and the Miraheze initiative.


 * I'm looking into the user permissions on your wiki now. What do you mean you'd have to change your password to give it to them?
 * You can't change any of the "configuration files" for your wiki, that is handled by System administrators. Some things can be changed on wiki, but what you're describing does sound like a configuration change. Please make a request at Request features.
 * You can download backups of the whole wiki. To have a backup created, please ask a sysadmin (most likely.
 * Thanks for your support :) Hopefully we can help you soon. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * After quickly going back to wiki creation logs for November 10th, I found your wiki and the associated request. I've gone ahead and given your Administrator and Bureaucrat rights on your wiki. You may now log in and assign these rights to any other users. Note that bureaucrats don't really give any administrative positions besides being able to choose more administrators. If you give anyone on your wiki administrator, you will not be able to remove it yourself, you will have to request a Steward to do it for you. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:50, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Problem with a JPG file.
Please see my recently uploaded file: Building, cannot generating thumbnail image from it, so cannot using it.

 * Hi It appears that the file you linked to is loading correctly for me, including thumbnails. Could you provide a link to a case where you tried to use it and it failed? Thanks! -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:41, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Change my wiki as private
Please change my wiki as private. I mean all the pages I create as private wiki. Thanks D Chandrasekhar

Please change my wiki as private wiki. I mean all the page I've created and will create in future by default as private wiki's.

Thanks D Chandrasekhar ( User:Chandrusweths )


 * Hi you must request a wiki here, and specify it as private. The pages you created here aren't actually on your wiki yet, and I'm going to delete them. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 14:52, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Bug: 'Bad title' at help page
When a visitor / user click to the help page, it ends with a 'Bad title' page at https://permanentfuturelab.wiki/wiki/Mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide. Is this a bug or bad installation/configuration of the extension?

Our wiki is giving an error
Hi, I just tried to visit the wiki (Aikatsu! Photo on Stage!!) to add something, and suddenly it's giving me (and all other visitors) an error. It was working about half an hour ago when I was there.

Can't access my wiki without resetting password each time
Hi.

I'm new to wiki's and it might be that I'm doing something wrong. Every time I, and my other members, try to access our wiki (https://pifusas.miraheze.org/wiki/Forside) we need to reset our passwords to be able to enter. The system does not accept our newly created passwords as we submit them if we revisit after browser has been closed.

Regards Sindre (talk)

"Hi, I am also new at Miraheze and I have a very similar problem. I have been granted a new private wiki (Thank you, Miraheze). I am not able to use the newly created password, even if I just log out and try logging back without closing the window. It accepts the password, but does not login, it just says something like I do not have rights to read. I have checked cookies, they are enabled. I have tried to erase them, no success."

EDIT: Is there any solution please? Thank you Regards Adamk (talk)
 * : does this still occur? We fixed this problem a few days ago, so hopefully this does not happen anymore. Southparkfan (talk) 14:49, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Mail from Miraheze in Gmail spamfolder
When received mail from the Miraheze server it's delivered in the spam folder at Google Gmail servers. I reported this before at IRC and it was fixed for a while, but goes wrong again.

A copy/paste of the mail header below. When looking to that it looks like SPF is not working optimal since the status is neutral instead of permitted. I also suggest to look at http://mxtoolbox.com/domain/miraheze.org/ as well for advise, which suggest to add dmarc and optimize 3 DNS settings. And take a look at https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/check?domain=miraheze.org which suggest to add DKIM --- Mail header ---

display:inline-block not working correctly for Chrome

Hi, I have 3 problems on the wiki "ggdr" (http://ggdr.miraheze.org) ! Erreur lors de la création de la miniature : convert: unable to open image `/mnt/mediawiki-static/ggdrwiki/b/bd/Schma_de_ligne_030.png': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2709. convert: unable to open file `/mnt/mediawiki- static/ggdrwiki/b/bd/Schma_de_ligne_030.png' @ error/png.c/ReadPNGImage/3922. convert: no images defined `/tmp/transform_660dcd41af4e-1.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3210. Error code: 1 What's the matter? Babskwal (talk) 10:43, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * on the home page (only: it works normally on all the other pages), "HTTP 500 error"; why that and only on the home page ???
 * when the users try to connect to ggdr, they can't, and have to make as if they had forgotten their password, change it and then connect... ?
 * the first time I inserted files, it has worked correctly; but since the last week, instead of the image, it displays
 * Seems fixed to me?
 * I don't understand it?
 * I don't know why this fails, but replacing the "é" with an "e" (when either uploading or renaming) seems to fix the issue for me. I'll investigate why special characters fail. Southparkfan (talk) 11:58, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 1. OK, thanx !
 * 2. When I try to connect with my password, I get :

Vous ne pouvez pas lire cette page, pour la raison suivante : L’action que vous essayez de réaliser n’est permise qu’aux utilisateurs d'un des groupes : Administrateurs, member.
 * The only solution I found is to ask for a new password...
 * 3. If renaming can fix the pb, I can always use "e" instead of "é" ! Babskwal (talk) 13:33, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Problem again... :(
 * Fixed avoiding the "é". Babskwal (talk) 10:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I think this is a known issue with foreign-language wikis? As a logged in steward, when I navigate to the wiki I get a permission error. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * PS: I get 504 gateway timeouts trying to load the main page. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Points 1&3 fixed (new main page without parser functions). Don't know for #2 : the only solution I've found to avoid this permission error is ask to change ther password... Babskwal (talk) 11:00, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Babskwal: I hope to fix that login error soon. A workaround is to let your users login on this wiki, Meta. Any wiki with a .miraheze.org subdomain is in our (technical) control, so it's safe to login. Southparkfan (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey guys. First I want to thank you for the new wiki, cybercrime.miraheze.org. I have been having an issue:

I have been able to add two people to administer the wiki (I have it protected). There is another user I need to add to it. I type this username verbatim into the search in special:userrights but nothing comes up.

Any suggestions? The user I am trying to add is Njfazz and our wiki is cybercrime.miraheze.com.

He says he has confirmed his email (which is what allowed me to add the other two admins).

Thanks again!

Visual Editor error
Hi. I was able to use the visual editor until recently, when it keeps giving me a 401 parsoid error whenever I try to edit a page on my wikis (hobbies.miraheze.org & biblicalwiki.miraheze.org). I am able to use it at meta.miraheze.org though. Your assistance is much appreciated!
 * A Parsoid server error? Looking after it. SleepyMode  18:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It appears both wikis are registered by the parsoid server, also, It seems to work on every other wiki. SleepyMode  18:18, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe the issue is persistent among private wikis and really is a design factor of MediaWiki and VisualEditor unfortunately. I'll take a look at how it interacts with unreadable APIs. John (talk) 18:34, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I was able to use Visual Editor on my private wiki for a few weeks. It started to give me the 401 error recently. Not sure if this helps, but under VisualEditor's troubleshooting section at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor, it states:
 * parsoidserver-http-bad-status : 401
 * Caused by read or edit restrictions. If you've set up a private wiki and don't want to use cookie forwarding, you can explicitly remove restrictions for Parsoid by IP address. -- Cat (talk) 21:16, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * we were already using that, but because we use external Parsoid servers (and we have IPv6 stuff), we had to add "::ffff:" to our Parsoid IPs. VisualEditor should work now. Southparkfan (talk) 13:01, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it's working now :). Is it possible to upgrade to the latest version? Here's the git. Cheers, Cat (talk)

Development wiki Dormancy policy Exception
Hello there, I think you should look at that. Recently, I got some medical "Distrubances", and.. I can't work on my wiki, As I won't be here for a long while too, I'm not sure anyone can mainitance the wiki as the staff of it are busy in other things. SleepyMode 15:18, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

JS error on allthetropeswiki
A few site features are broken in ATTland. I suspect it has something to do with this error occurring before gadget loading:

Oh, and this error only seems to happen when logged-in. Any ideas? Vorticity (talk) 09:30, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The cause of this bug was the VectorBeta extension. The compact personal toolbar depends on the EventLogging extension (which is not useful to install at Miraheze, because we don't use such logging), and is impossible to disable (this also explains why this only happens when logged-in). An upstream bug report exists, but is not being handled (VectorBeta is an unmaintaned extension). Southparkfan (talk) 13:42, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Impossible to create account
Hello,

I've been trying to create an account for a friend after he was having some problems with the CAPTCHA. However, both of the names seem to be 'already taken', which I find unusual, as while I could understand that a one-letter name might be taken, I cannot understand why this other name would be taken.

Could someone please help me as a result?

Cannot create account of friend for private wiki
Hello.

When I try to create an account for a friend in my private wiki (seldir.miraheze.org) it first give me an error saying "Couldn't verify account" then when I try again "User already exists" even though it doesn't appear in the wiki's user list, nor does it appear on meta's user list. It is also supposed to send a mail with a temporary password to my friend, but no email is send.

When trying to create his account himself, my friend have the same problem (even with a different name). The correct name of the account was supposed to be "Majorsimon".

Thanks in advance for your help.

Custom domain captcha
Hello,

There appears to be an error when it comes to editing a custom domain wiki when it requires a captcha, as well as any other features that require a captcha.

Could this be resolved so IP addresses can edit, and when the current account-creation problem is fixed, accounts can be created? Otherwise, for the time being it seems almost impossible to edit the wiki outside of requesting an account to be created on the IRC.

AGrayCat (talk) 18:06, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

(Also, NoTitle seems to not be working?)

(Also, is there an E.T.A on when account creation will be fixed?)

Resetting the password of an account
Hello,

A temporary password was created for the account 'O'. Unfortunately, I have misplaced the password, so would it be possible to send a new password to this accounts email?

AGrayCat (talk) 18:06, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * You can use Special:PasswordReset. John (talk) 20:24, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Unless hijacking accounts is extremely easy, O does not have an email and therefore cannot be recovered normally. AGrayCat (talk) 09:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Doing so is really bad for security reasons so as the account has few meaningful edits on one wiki, I've renamed the account to "O~old" and you can re-create an account at O. With no valid email, manually resetting an accounts password without 100% knowledge the requester is the account owner is really bad security practise and since there is no way to know here, moving the account off the usermame is best. John (talk) 15:33, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * As I have mentioned previously, and as I have brought to light to SleepyMode, it is currently impossible to create accounts. I'm on the IRC right now, would it be possible to create a new O account, as it is currently impossible for one to create an account through the 'normal' process. Also, is there any specific person I should contact about the problems I listed in my question lodged above? AGrayCat (talk) 18:12, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm unsure of the issue you're experiencing at the moment. I was aware of Captcha issues in the past but the captcha seems to be working fine on the wiki. John (talk) 18:37, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Possible ETA on the account creation being fixed? NoTitle still isn't working. Did you disable the captcha on the universebuild.com wiki by any chance in order to fix it? If not, would it be possible to disable it? AGrayCat (talk) 20:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The account creation issue should be fixed in theory. I'm unsure about NoTitle, to my knowledge it is an un maintained extension and so it's not really expected to fully work with MediaWiki. Captcha is not disabled and will not be disabled, it's working fine on the wiki. John (talk) 20:42, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Are there any replacements for NoTitle at the moment? EDIT: O seems to have been taken? The bug seems to be active here, should I talk to SPF on the IRC? AGrayCat (talk) 10:16, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't believe so besides using CSS. And with the account, I've told SPF about this specific case. John (talk) 19:37, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Is there someone to contact for help with that CSS feature? Thank you for the help. AGrayCat (talk) 20:42, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Private Wiki?
I'm not certain if this is the correct place to ask this, or if it should be in the Administrators' board, or maybe in feature requests... I apologize in advance if this should be elsewhere. That being said:

I recently had a wiki created (GeoData) and the initial request was for a private wiki. But I am able to access it (and also edit any page I haven't specifically protected) even when not logged in.

Did something not get set up correctly, or am I misunderstanding the term "private wiki" as used here on Miraheze? If the former, could I please get that fixed? Thanks! Millernt83 (talk) 18:38, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, the wiki is private already. Only logged in users with the group right read (members and above) are able to read the wiki and anyone with read can edit it. John (talk) 20:01, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Ahh, I get it. It's private except for the main page. I simply hadn't gotten around to creating any other pages yet and was only testing with the one. My bad. Thanks!! Millernt83 (talk) 03:56, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Keep my rights please

Help starting
Dear administrators! First of all, thank you for creating this lovely community-based wiki!

We are very new in using this tool: On February 12th, I requested the wiki domain integrationmnw.miraheze.org

It was kindly approved to me by Southparkfan

Now, when I go to my domain, it tells me the wiki does not exist. What am I doing wrong?

Here are the details:

Thank you very much for your help, a quick reply would be so much appreciated ...

Kindest regards, Victoria
 * Hi, I've just looked and while the request was marked as approved, I don't see any evidence the wiki was created. I've just gone a head and made the wiki at the url you stated and it works now. Apologies for this, John (talk) 16:12, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks John, for your quick help! You saved my life -- my boss will be happy with me tomorrow. :) Great people here at Miraheze.

NoTitle is Flakey?
I had NoTitle enabled on carvingwiki yesterday, but the behavior is weird. 99% of the time the __NOTITLE__ does nothing and the title still appears. On some very few, seemingly rare page refreshes the title will not be shown. But then if I do a refresh it comes back again. Any advice? Thank you.

 * It's already known, but I never actually checked it out. I'm going to look at the extension :). SleepyMode (talk) 14:01, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * You can try making a template (which would be Template:Hidden title, as on Wikipedia) with the code . Then you can use it on pages to made the title go away! (If you want to, you can add the CSS   to MediaWiki:Common.css to make the template make the title of the pages it is used on truly invisible.) (Must I say, I'm not a steward, but I still know stuff, trust me!) Lemondoge T C GC 13:53, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, AGreyCat also gave me hints and I was successful with the css technique. Fixing NoTitle is a low priority with these workarounds but if it doesn't function it might be better to pull the extension for the whole system and just call it unsupported?  ETF.

Expression error of math formulas.
When I try to write a math formula using tag, an error message appears when the math formula settings are expressed as PNG file.

Surprisingly, $$f(x)$$ is expressed properly on Miraheze, but when I change even a single letter x to k, $$f(k)$$, this causes an error, displaying "Failed to parse". So I have a serious trouble using math formula when I write wiki articles. I found a JS code to transplant Mathjax codes in wiki, pasted sources on my own Javascript articles and changed my own settings to express math formulas as using TeX instead of PNG files. However, this takes too much time to render formulas and there are still some notations not working properly.

Anyway, do you know what is the best solution to express math formulas properly? --Utolee90 (talk) 22:52, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I see what the error is; the error is this: <strong class="error texerror">Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex and dvipng (or dvips + gs + convert)): f(k) . Additionally, the same error (but showing "k" instead of "f(k)") shows when doing $$k$$ . Maybe the letter "k" can't be rendered inside of the PNG image inside of the <ma th > tag. (I am not a steward, but this seems to be the problem.) Lemondoge T C GC 00:59, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Ahumm I will redirect a system administrator, Hold on. SleepyMode (talk) 14:44, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Scratch the above. After scouring logs via grep, I have discovered all successful renders of f(k) occurred on mw1. All failed renders occurred on mw2. The difference is a missing package between them. This has now been fixed (for real this time). John (talk) 16:09, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to talk about Fuckboi8000(More information on Special:CentralAuth) and his Abusive username. He also made a distruptive edit to the cssandjsscholboardwiki, I think he should get Locked due to his abuse-vandalism only purposes. Sincerely, SleepyMode (talk) 14:27, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've locked the account purely because it was brought to attention. No fair ground for a check user so not done on that ground. John (talk) 16:52, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Should User:Fart city usa also be locked on the same grounds? <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 04:53, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Nope, that account has no edits therefore can't be locked as a vandalism-only account. More so there's less evidence between the two accounts as there's no behavioural evidence or infact accounts existing om the same functional wikis. John (talk) 07:57, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Could you please unlock User:Fuckboi8000? When he made an unconstructive edit, he was just testing and playing around. And, it was only 1 edit, and here is a quote that I made up: "<span style="font-family: cursive, 'Comic Sans MS', 'comic sans';">Doing a bad thing only once is nowhere near too much. Doing a bad thing enough times to cause massive damage is too much ". It is anyways most likely true that the user Fuckboi8000 was not made only for vandalism. More, I know he has an inappropriate username, but he (probably) didn't know that inappropriate usernames aren't allowed (this comes for another quote: "<span style="font-family: cursive, 'Comic Sans MS', 'comic sans';">There is no reason at all to hurt someone for doing something wrong if they don't know it is wrong; if they don't know it is wrong, they may do it by mistake without knowing it is wrong. "). One last thing: There is one more reason I want him to be unlocked, but I can't tell you it because it is personal information. Lemondoge T C GC 22:09, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * At the moment I see no use in unlocking (mostly because it seems fairly vandalism based, some may feel 'offended' (not the reason it was locked at all) but also that a new account perhaps isn't so hard to make with no reservation) so I'm not going to. With the final reason, it may be one that changes my mind and if you want the account unlocked badly, john@undefinedmiraheze.org exists for you to contact me privately/confidentially by. John (talk) 22:19, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * At least, is there any way to locally unblock him (but not actually unlock him)? Lemondoge T C GC 01:02, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * As John stated above, please use john@undefinedmiraheze.org for talking to him privately. <font color="#FA80231">Reception123 <font color="#4418E1"> (talk) (<font color="#AF91521"> contribs  ) 04:00, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * No, a lock prevents logging into the global account at all. John (talk) 11:09, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, it seems like it is possible to locally unblock globally locked users, due to this right assigned to administrators: Disable global blocks locally   My only question for this right is: how? Lemondoge T C GC 13:35, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

(reset indent) that is for global BLOCKS not global LOCKS. Locks prevent signing into an account and there is no way to bypass it globally or locally without unlockign the account. Global blocks are placed against IP addresses under similar conditions for global locks. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:26, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Whoops. Anyways. You want your own rights removed and someone else made a bureaucrat? If you haven't already, you can make them a bureaucrat yourself, and then we can remove your own rights upon request. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * After checking that BrownMania was a bureaucrat on wikirailwiki, I removed your own rights based on your request. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:49, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
