All The Tropes (Status: Pending (Please leave this on here, as it's going to take a while to download all extensions)

 * Wiki: All The Tropes
 * Domain: allthetropes.miraheze.org
 * Extension/feature requests:

GethN7 (talk) 00:19, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Our needed features can be found here.
 * Hi GethN7, as you may probably imagine we do not have all the extensions configured, I will create a PR on GitHub for all the extensions available, and for the rest, a sysadmin will take care of it. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 04:20, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Just fine by me. Whatever you guys can get off the WMF repo is preferred, get it from the Orain repo or mine (for my version of Monaco, the stock version, not the Orain branch) if not. Also, take your time if need be, we're still gathering all the backup data we can find. GethN7 (talk) 06:41, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
 * This needs to be our site logo above the sidebar as well. GethN7 (talk) 07:06, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Gen Wiki (Status : Done)

 * Is it possible to ordered list starting from a specified number? See: https://gen.miraheze.org/wiki/Sandbox
 * Question about backup strategy: https://gen.miraheze.org/wiki/Technology#Backups
 * Thank you for completing my previous requests (work like a charm)
 * There is no nightly dump, but system administrators can generate full xml dump.on request. Also if you have sufficient knowledge, you can use api and Wikiteam's dumpgenerator.py to generate dump when you want. (I don't suggest running this daily, but running it occationally like once a month or such should be fine.) For internal backup systems I will leave it to sysadmins. &mdash; revi  09:56, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The other day I posted on IRC - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#Without_shell_access_to_the_server - I know I can run backup script but I'd be more inclined to put my trust in you, once I know exactly what are your systems / procedures / backup strategy. I'm thinking about creating other wikis as well but - safety first - I need to be fully confident that some rogue admin in the act of frenzy will not destroy my work. I guess this answers my question, I should run my own backups. Question still valid - what is your internal backup strategy? (thanks) Stefek99 (talk) 17:21, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Please see User:Southparkfan/BackupsDraft for our current backup plan. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 15:50, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

8station (Status: Done)

 * Wiki: 8station
 * Domain: https://8station.miraheze.org
 * Extension/feature requests:
 * Extension 1: REDACTED. Not needed anymore since I figured out how to take care of redirects.
 * Extension 2: MultiUpload ✅
 * Feature 1: Favicon change to this. ✅
 * Feature 2: Wiki logo change to this. ✅
 * Feature 3: License change to CC-BY-NC-SA. Pending
 * Feature 4: Change to half private wiki. Anonymous users may view, but not edit. Users must be registered to edit. ✅
 * Feature 5: Temporary file upload limit to 75 (I'm honestly not sure if you impose a file count upload limit). I have .zip archives with 75 files in each I'm hoping MultiUpload can unpack successfully. I've had issues with it in the past, however. I may need an alternative means of efficiently uploading ~2000 images. Staff suggestions welcome. ✅
 * Reason: Customization of website. License change to share license with the content I will be importing. Thank you. 8station (talk) 15:33, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Robkelk (talk) 19:12, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Robkelk (talk) 18:36, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Feature 1: Give me back administrator / bureaucrat rights ✅
 * Feature 2: Repair the search index
 * Reason: 1: I asked for the wiki to be created, but these rights were taken away when the bulk upload was performed. 2: Getting error message "Error: 145 Table './poserdazfreebieswiki/searchindex' is marked as crashed and should be repaired (185.52.1.77)"

Rawdata (Status: Open)

 * Wiki: Rawdata
 * Domain: https://rawdata.miraheze.org
 * Extension/feature requests 1: Make permissions system so only the created can edit wiki by default, and registered and anon users can only read. However I can add users who want to edit it if I want to. Something similar was requested for Cinema wiki. Actually I'd be fine with that exact change. Just make sure, by default, only the creator of the wiki can edit, and all editors must be registered on Miraheze, and then added as editors by the wiki creator.
 * Reason: Rolling back changes made by malicious users is not enough security and can get tedious very quickly.
 * Feature request 2: Anon edits should always be off by default.

I originally created my wiki as "public" but the creation page does not explain the difference between "public" and "private" and who can edit and read it. Bulrush (talk) 13:49, 22 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The difference between public and private wikis seems pretty obvious. Anyone can access public wikis, only select users can access (even read) private wikis. There's a difference between making a wiki private and disabling anonymous editing. It can (and will) be disabled for your wiki but not by default, as it (kind of) goes against the concept of wikis.
 * Also, do you actually have a lot of vandalism on your wiki or anything? I'm just curious as to why you say rolling back changes is tedious. You can also block problematic users. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:54, 22 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes I have had vandalism on other wikis, hence my request. I also figured this out. See Steward noticeboard. Bulrush (talk) 11:17, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Bulrush (talk) 12:03, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
