How much storage space does Miraheze have?
Well, My wiki, Crazybloxian Empire, could get large pretty soon. How much storage space does the wiki-hosting service have?

Where can I request to set interwiki?
I want to request to set interwiki in my wiki. Where can I request to set interwiki? --Noue Supernova (talk) 19:04, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Noue Supernova Hi, I understand that you want to add or modify an interwiki. Can you tell me what the website is (example.com)? What will the interwiki be called (example:)? and What is your Wiki (meta.miraheze.org)? Ucronistaw (talk) 16:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Ucronistaw! My wiki is https://Whiteside.miraheze.org, and I want to request to make interwiki, "jawp" (to https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1), "jaucp" (to https://ja.uncyclopedia.info/wiki/$1), "ep" (to https://enpedia.rxy.jp/wiki/$1), and "yp" (to https://ja.yourpedia.org/wiki/$1). May I ask you a favor? --Noue Supernova (talk) 11:14, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello Noue Supernova, Since the wiki is private, the only way to add interwikis is if you add me as a Member of your wiki or wait for a Steward to review it. Ucronistaw (talk) 16:51, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. I think to abandon it.--Noue Supernova (talk) 10:34, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

User rights on Miraheze's Commonswiki
I'm in the process of adding some pictures, nothings amazing, just a selection of photos from previous holidays/vacations to test the viability of the commons project. Obviously, the very nature of project allows for uploading images created by myself (of which I have included a licence for such a purpose). However, more licences are needed. I don't mind adding these licences but they will need adding to MediaWiki:Licenses, of which I do not have access to edit. This is helpful in adding licences to image files using the drop-down option on the upload page. Is it possible to give me elevated user rights for such purposes as I seem to be the only person doing anything for this project at the moment anyway? 14:35, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, can we have HotCat gadget installed as this helps no end with all the categories that I'll be using and the Multimedia Viewer installed please. 14:49, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Should be done on everything. -- Void  Whispers 17:22, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks pal, I'll continue to add images, work on licences and templates etc., and we'll see if there's any interest. 21:35, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Instant Commons
For some reason, Instant Commons isn't working on my wiki (https://futurewiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) anymore? I didn't ask for it to get removed - is there anyway to fix this? Thank you, Beta 17:36, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Have you attempted to enable it again with Special:ManageWikiSettings? It should be listed there. -- Void  Whispers 17:42, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you! - Beta 17:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

References suddendly doesn't work, how I fix this?
I've created this wiki page https://royalty.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page and suddendly, from a month to now, the references stopped work. They simply appear in the form of their parameters. I don't know how to fix this issue, can somebody help me, pleas? Grand Duke Arthur (talk) 04:31, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You need to enable the extension Cite using Special:ManageWikiExtensions. -- Void  Whispers 16:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Have Random image instead of Random page link in sidebar
Just throwing the question out there in the hope there is an answer. Is there a way of having Random image instead of Random page in the sidebar? As I have started adding some photos to our Miraheze Commons website, it would be nice to have a random image link in the sidebar instead of the usual random page. The reason being commons is a repository for images and other media files and in this very early stage it is doubtful there are going to be any pages in the main namespace for some time, so the random page function is kind of pointless. 21:21, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You can make Special:Random apply only to files by using Special:Random/File. -- Void  Whispers 02:43, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. "File" is what I meant. As I am the only contributor, at least for the time being anywsy, I am only uploading images (no video or sound files). 06:22, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Code of Conduct/Commission/Election/2018
Hello everyone, the time for 2017-2018 CoCC is almost over, and we now need to elect new 5 members. We decided to put all of 5 seats to community selection. But rules in 2017 and this year are bit different since the situation is different.

We need clarification for two things:


 * 1) Timeframe of the election
 * 2) Who is eligible to vote?

Please comment your opinions on respective subsections. &mdash; revi  12:19, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Timeframe

 * Last year, we had around 8-9 days for the nomination, 5 days for voting. # I'd propose we start accepting nominee ASAP (tomorrow? the day after tomorrow? Preferably before November starts), and then give 10 days for nominations and Q&A, then 5 days for voting. &mdash; revi  12:19, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Eligibility

 * Last year, we determined the election by the closing time of RFC, but this is 2017 and is not reasonable for our community member during 2018 and wish to have a voice. I propose that we cut off the eligibility date by the day when we start accepting nominees. &mdash; revi  12:19, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
