FAQ

How do I request a wiki?
Go to Special:RequestWiki, and fill in the form.

Why don't I have administrator or bureaucrat rights on my wiki?
Oops! This should be done automatically. If you leave a message on the Stewards' noticeboard, we'll take care of it ASAP!

How can I request a feature or extension on my wiki?
Please go to feature requests, and put your request there. It will be done as soon as possible.

How do I work with MediaWiki (e.g. creating and editing pages)?
Please check out the MediaWiki help center for more information about working with MediaWiki!

I am not able to access my wiki!
Are you sure your wiki has been created (according to Special:Log/farmer)? If yes, then MediaWiki might have logged more information about the error. Please contact a sysadmin, so we can look at it.

How do I change my logo/favicon?
Please make a request at feature requests.

How do I configure a custom domain?
Please check Custom domains and then request at feature requests.

How can I allow a user to read the content on my wiki?
Please go to Special:UserRights on your wiki, and add them to the member group.

How can I remove the bureaucrat rights of a user?
Only stewards can remove the bureaucrat rights of a user. Please ask a steward to remove the rights if you have a valid reason (e.g. clear abuse or a request of the wiki founder).

How can I grant oversight or checkuser rights to a user?
Because these rights allow access to extremely sensitive private information, access is restricted to stewards and other highly-trusted users. Besides, please read CheckUser and Oversight for more information about requesting a CheckUser of requesting suppression. If you think that you (or someone else) really needs CheckUser/Oversight rights, please ask the stewards for more information at Stewards' noticeboard.
