FAQ/es

Esta es una selección de preguntas frecuentes (FAQ) sobre Miraheze.

Esta página no es un documento de política, sino una guía introductoria. It refers to some actual policy documents, such as the Dormancy Policy. Lea esos documentos para ver cuáles son las políticas reales.

¿Qué lugar es este?
Esta es una colección (una "granja") de wikis. Un wiki es un sitio web orientado a la edición colaborativa con publicación instantánea a nivel mundial. Miraheze utiliza el software MediaWiki, que permite a varias personas editar la misma página, soporta resaltados, ilustraciones y efectos especiales, y retiene una copia de cada página en cada punto del pasado, que puede ser copiada o reemplazada por la copia actual. Wikipedia es el wiki más conocido.

Nuestra página principal establece nuestro compromiso cuando se ejecuta este sitio.

¿Quienes son estas personas?
Los usuarios de Miraheze sólo se conocen por sus nombres de usuario. Una persona utiliza el mismo nombre de usuario en todos los wikis de Miraheze. Durante el registro, usted elige su propio nombre de usuario. Un usuario de Miraheze puede elegir revelar su propia identidad, pero revelar la identidad de otra persona sin su permiso es una violación grave. Aquí hay algunos roles:

Ellos son responsables de los asuntos que conciernen a la comunidad global, así como de cualquier acción wiki global; por ejemplo, el comportamiento perjudicial en su wiki que usted no puede resolver por su propia acción administrativa. Puede ponerse en contacto con ellos en el tablón de anuncios de los Stewards


 * Administradores del sistema - Son responsables del funcionamiento técnico de Miraheze y de que todo funcione según lo previsto.


 * Meta Administradores Ellos están a cargo de los asuntos relacionados con este wiki, "Meta". Los meta administradores sólo están a cargo de este wiki.

La propia comunidad Miraheze —todos los usuarios, en la medida en que quieran participar— se reúnen en el tablón de anuncios de la Comunidad, donde se puede discutir todo lo relacionado con Miraheze, la comunidad y las observaciones sobre las que le gustaría tener opiniones de los demás.

What are these wikis?
Actualmente hay alojado en Miraheze. Puedes ver algunos wikis en Gazetteer of wikis con una descripción resumida de los wikis realizada por un autor. Muchos de estos wikis te invitan a leerlos o incluso a hacer contribuciones. Para una lista de todos los wikis alojados puedes ver Special:SiteMatrix.

¿Por qué se llama Miraheze?
¿Por qué no? Por cierto, mucha gente Miraheze de forma diferente.

¿Cómo financias el alojamiento?
Miraheze es una organización sin ánimo de lucro y depende enteramente de las donaciones de otros. No tenemos publicidad, ni somos financiados por una empresa o un gobierno, por lo que dependemos de nuestros donantes. Por favor vea Donaciones y Finanzas para más información.

¿Por qué no tienes publicidad?
A la gente no le gusta la publicidad, con la publicidad, no se ganará más dinero que las donaciones (y los anuncios podrían inducir a la gente a dejar de donar a nosotros), con la publicidad, se pierde la privacidad, y los anuncios aumentan el riesgo de presión por parte de las empresas que hacen la publicidad que ajustamos el contenido de los wikis. Defendemos nuestra independencia editorial y la de los autores que trabajan en wikis individuales.

¿Cómo puedo donar a Miraheze?
Miraheze actualmente acepta todos los métodos de pago aceptados por PayPal. Usted puede hacer clic aquí o enviar una donación directamente por. Para obtener más información, consulte Donar o póngase en contacto con Labster.

¿Puedo contribuir de otras maneras?
Nos encantaría! Por favor vea Contribuir para más información.

¿Cuántos servidores tiene y dónde están ubicados?
We currently have 16 servers. You can see more information and documentation about each of them here and here. Most of our servers are located in the Netherlands, but two of them (Bacula1, Cp2 and Ns1) are located in the United States.

¿Cómo puedo solicitar un wiki?
Vaya a Special:RequestWiki, y rellene el formulario.

¿Cómo puedo confirmar que mi wiki ha sido creado?
Your request should appear in the Farmer log and request wiki queue. When someone takes up your request and creates your wiki, this should be visible, too, in the Farmer log. In addition, the person creating your wiki will usually leave a message on your user talk page.

There are some cases where a wiki can't be created, such as when a wiki with the same name already exists, when you didn't provide enough information in your request, or when creating it is against either the Content Policy or any other Miraheze policies. In this case, you will also be advised on your user talk page.

¿Cuál es el estado inicial de mi nueva wiki?
We will put a Main Page on your wiki, with wording (in your chosen language) that is as inviting as possible, given that no wiki member has written anything real yet. We encourage you to edit this with whatever material you want a visitor to see first.

In addition, your user name will be designated the wiki's bureaucrat. (This is a wiki administrator with the power to appoint other users as administrators, and to depose them.)

¿Y si algo sale mal?
This unfortunately can happen from time to time. Stay calm! Check your request in the Farmer log to be sure the request got into the log and was serviced. The quickest (and recommended) ways to report an issue are Phabricator and IRC, but you can also leave a message on the Community noticeboard, or contact a system administrator of your choice. If you were shown an error message when you tried to view your wiki, or tried to take an action that should have been allowed, copy this information and include it in your report.

¿Tengo que aprender MediaWiki?
Most of what happens on a Miraheze wiki is dictated by the MediaWiki software. If you began by editing your wiki's Main Page, then what you type would be visible by every visitor. However, to make your wiki attractive, with highlighted text, headings, sidebars, infoboxes, illustrations, and dynamic effects, you will need to add mark-up as specified by MediaWiki.

A good introduction to MediaWiki is at the MediaWiki help center. A few recurring questions are answered below.

¿Cómo le doy un estilo distintivo a mi wiki?
Every web page is "rendered" on the reader's screen according to a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). Your wiki will have a document named MediaWiki:Common.css. It contains not text but rendering commands in a special language. For example, to make every second-level section header come out in green, include this command: H2 { color: green }

If you can write code in JavaScript, you can do more powerful things, such as rearrange elements on the page or make the size of an element depend on the size of the window being used to view the page. Code placed in MediaWiki:Common.js takes effect for all users and all pages of your wiki (provided the user has not disabled JavaScript).

¿Cómo importo contenido a mi wiki?
To import a single page from another wiki, use  on that wiki to obtain an XML dump of the page. Then add it to your wiki using your wiki's.

To import some or all the pages from some other wiki, get an XML dump of those pages, then attach the dump to your request on Phabricator. An alternative is to email the dump, with instructions, to staff@undefinedmiraheze.org. For more details, please see Imports.

How do I install infoboxes on my wiki, like Wikipedia has?
As above, use Special:Export on Wikipedia to get an XML dump of the template, then install them into your wiki with your  page. Be sure to click the "Include templates" button before export!

Templates with advanced features, such as the show/hide toggle, need special CSS code. View the source of Wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css, copy the sections that start with, and add this code to your wiki's   page.

When making changes to your wiki that involve several pages, don't just refresh the page but "hard refresh" it (Ctrl-F5 on Firefox) to ensure that your computer discards any old versions of any of the pages it may have saved in its page cache.

For more information you can read this guide

¿Cómo hago para que aparezca un aviso en la parte superior de cada página?
Add the notice you want to see on the  page of your wiki.

If you have had previous content in the sitenotice, don't just edit  but also make a change to the   page — You can just keep increasing numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on. This is how MediaWiki remembers that you have changed the Site Notice after a given user dismissed your previous notice.

You can put, in, a message-of-the-day to be given to visitors who are not logged into Miraheze. These notices are not dismissable.

How can I change the status of my wiki?
Your wiki has a  page that gives you control over your wiki. This page lets you:
 * Change the language of your wiki (which affects the language of the messages that are built into MediaWiki). Any editor can type anything into a page of a wiki, in any language, no matter what you declare is the official language of your wiki.
 * Mark your wiki private, or mark it public again.
 * Mark your wiki closed (inactive), or reactivate it.

More complicated changes not listed require you to make a request. We are working on making it possible for users to change these themsevles.

¿Por qué estoy en la página Especial:ListaUsuarios de otro wiki?
(O, puedes preguntar, ¿Quiénes son todas estas personas listadas como usuarios de mi wiki?) El nombre de usuario registrado de una persona es el mismo en cada Miraheze wiki que la persona visita. Cada vez que veas un wiki de Miraheze mientras estás conectado a cualquier otro wiki de Miraheze, tu nombre de usuario se adjuntará al wiki local y, por lo tanto, a su lista de usuarios.

¿Por qué hay archivos de Wikimedia Commons en mi wiki?
All Miraheze wikis begin with Instant Commons enabled, 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.

What is going on with my Main Page?
The main page of every wiki on Miraheze is subject to the following special conditions: One way around both special conditions is to have your Main Page redirect to another location (see below). Alternatively, one may simply remove section headers from their Main Page entirely. However, for users who wish to still use the main page and have section headers, there is a way to do this by using HTML divisions. Please refer to this guide for more details.
 * It can be read by everyone if the wiki is private (see below)
 * Users on mobile devices cannot tap section headers to get the section to expand. This means that mobile users can only see the section headers on the main page.

¿Qué tan privado es un wiki privado?
Un wiki privado sólo puede ser visto y editado por sus miembros. puedes ir a los Permisos de Usuario de tu wiki e introducir el nombre de cualquier usuario registrado en Miraheze para añadir a ese usuario en el grupo de  de tu wiki.

¿Por qué todo el mundo puede ver la página principal de mi wiki privado?
Esta página es siempre pública, por regla general. Puede eludir esta regla poniendo su contenido principal en otra página (digamos, "Página principal real"), luego edite su página principal para redirigirla allí: #REDIRECT Página principal real

Who or what is this "Phabricator"?
Phabricator is a system by which wiki owners can ask for technical assistance from Miraheze system administrators. Phabricator means you don't have to direct your request to a single system administrator, and deal with the possibility that that person is vacationing or has quit. Phabricator remembers requests and lets anyone volunteer to satisfy the request. It makes it less likely that requests get lost or ignored.

Phabricator is a separate program from MediaWiki, which renders the web pages of your wiki, but it is under the control of Miraheze.

You have to log into Phabricator, but if you are already logged into Miraheze, this is automatic if you press the button with the MediaWiki logo.

The page Feature requests has an overview of requesting help, including the types of requests you can make.

Why can't I do the tricks I can do on other wikis?
Your new wiki will have an ordinary installation of MediaWiki. Many people have written extensions to MediaWiki but most of these, by default, are not installed on new Miraheze wikis. Some popular extensions enable:
 * Uploading of audio files in the  format
 * Writing alternative renderings, to be chosen at random
 * Additional functions in the MediaWiki meta-language
 * Assembling lists of pages on your wiki, which can be inserted into a page
 * Helpful ways of linking to additional media from other websites, such as Google Maps

The page Extensions describes extensions that are pre-installed on your wiki, extensions you can request to be added, and extensions we won't add for privacy and other reasons. You can make a request as specified in Feature requests. It will help if you can state the exact name of the extension you want added to your wiki.

¿Cómo puedo cambiar mi logotipo o favicon?
If you don't like the yellow-and-tan Miraheze logo, and have custom artwork, you can install it as the favicon for every page of your wiki. Please see Feature requests for help making a request.

¿Cómo puedo obtener un dominio personalizado para mi wiki?
Your wiki does not have to be a sub-domain of. It can be any web address that you are able to acquire. There is more information about this at Custom domains. If this is what you want to do, see Feature requests to make a request.

¿Cómo obtengo una copia de seguridad de mi wiki?
All Miraheze wikis are backed up using Tech:Bacula, but you can request backups of your wiki only on Phabricator. A Miraheze system administrator will generate an XML dump of your wiki.
 * Dumps of public wikis will be made available on our static site
 * Dumps for private wikis will only be kept on our servers until a system administrator can send it to you.

If you are requesting a dump of a private wiki, you should have a validated email attached to your Miraheze account, even if you disable the Special:EmailUser functionality in your preferences.

Generally speaking, we do not retain dumps of individual wikis for a long period of time.

Para más detalles, consulte Backups.

¿Cómo puedo hacer que mi wiki sea de sólo lectura?
For making your wiki read only from everyone (including yourself) for specific periods of time you can request the "ProtectSite" extension.

For making it read-only to specific users/groups only you can request editing restrictions.

¿Cómo puedo eliminar a un burócrata de mi wiki?
Bureaucrats are the highest-ranking officials of a wiki. Normally, it requires a request to a Miraheze steward to remove a bureaucrat. You must have a valid reason, such as abuse, or there must be consensus in the wiki to do so. The steward will want evidence (such as specific edits) that shows you are not just asking him to take one side in a clash of personalities.

Apart from moves against a specific user, you can use Request features to request a change to the set of users empowered on your wiki to remove bureaucrats. However, if bureaucrats can remove each other, other bureaucrats can remove you.

¿Puedo tener derechos de Oversight o CheckUser?
To date, these permissions have not been given out to non-staff members. Stewards have the authority to delegate these rights to other users, but generally speaking the Steward body feels that it can handle all of these requests in a timely manner.
 * Oversight allows edits to the permanent historical record. It is sometimes necessary when the mere disclosure of information violates someone's rights, and it will not suffice to undo the edit but leave it in the history.  For example, if the name of a page discloses personal information or is libelous, it will not suffice to just delete the page.
 * CheckUser discloses the IP address from which a user is reaching Miraheze. It can sometimes provide evidence that several users vandalizing a wiki are in fact a single person.

If you believe you need one of these operations performed, please ask at the Stewards' noticeboard.

¿Cómo se cierra un wiki?
A wiki closes (becomes inactive) when you go to  and tick the Closed button. It is reopened when you return to  and uncheck this button.

A wiki is also closed by stewards after a period of inactivity, as specified by the Dormancy Policy. Read the actual policy document rather than relying on this summary. The Dormancy Policy went into effect on 5 January 2016 and applies to all wikis.

If you have perused a closed wiki and believe you could take it further, please go to Requests for adoption.

¿Cómo puedo mover mi wiki?
Exporting pages from a wiki, such as to a mirror site or to a host other than Miraheze, is the reverse of importing pages from another wiki onto your Miraheze wiki.

If your wiki consists of a small number of pages,  lists them. You can copy this list and paste it into the  page to produce a content dump in XML format.

If your wiki is larger, Miraheze can provide assistance. You should request this assistance by opening a ticket on Phabricator.

If the target host does not use the MediaWiki software, the pages may require conversion into the format that the target host uses. Miraheze cannot help you with that.

Where can I find your configuration?
We have a [//github.com/miraheze GitHub organization] where we store our Puppet configuration, extensions, MediaWiki install and other code.

¿Por qué no puedo acceder al sitio utilizando HTTP?
In the original HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), pieces of a request to, or a response from, a web server flowed over the wire or wireless network in plain text that it was easy for anyone to read. HTTPS is a protocol that scrambles each packet to make it harder to intercept. Wikipedia and its sister projects switched to HTTPS in 2015. We too support only HTTPS, to keep private information secure and to protect users against downgrade attacks. In addition, we require that Miraheze wikis with custom domain names have a valid SSL certificate.

There are proxy websites that give you access to HTTPS websites using HTTP, but we do not recommend or support their use.
