Change the font of my wiki
Hi, I would like to know how to change the writing font of my wiki (https://fiction.miraheze.org/wiki/). I would like to change it to Trebuchet MS. Thanks in advance. Darkrai18 (talk) 10:47, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * You can add:

div, html, footer, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; }
 * to MediaWiki:Common.css. Silicona (talk) 11:16, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Switching from to  ?
I would like to request Miraheze to switch reCAPTCHA on registration from  to   instead. According to Google Can I use reCAPTCHA Enterprise globally?, scripts loaded from the two URLs seem to be equivalent. The only difference is that  is blocked in some areas (yes I mean mainland China) while the latter   is globally accessible. As is mentioned in the community noticeboard Community_noticeboard, switching to the alternative URL can really make Miraheze more accessible to Chinese users. Thank you!

 * We actually switched back on purpose from repatcha.net recently due to a bug which made ReCAPTCHA return very low scores to legitimate users which stopped them from registering. If we are able to fix that issue then we’ll migrate back but I do not see that happening for the foreseeable future sadly. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:33, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response! Alternatively, if ReCAPTCHA is handled by the ConfirmEdit extension, maybe it is possible to modify the code to let the user decide what URL to load ReCAPTCHA from. For example I forked MirahezeMagic to allow users switching between the two with url params  (although it is just a proof-of-concept and ugly coded). In this way, normal users will not be bothered and those having connectivity issues can be guided to the workaround (with some notice on that page or in the error message maybe).

TimedMediaHandler - why does it play music like if it was video ?
Hello.

I don't know why, but, when i clik on audio files format on the wiki, it makes appear a little window like if it was a video....

player appareance when it does that (see, no time bar)

little screen popping when clicking on that player

BUT sometimes when i disable the extension, and then re enable it, it play it in the wiki page in the litle player bar... (yeah, the one with the time axis inside it, that does not make appear a little screen when clicking on it, but play it in the little bar... like yeah, if it was music, and not video! (it IS music....)) and then, little time after playing some;;; it makes appear again the little video screen when clicking on the little plyer bar, for all music files...

This makes not navigation simple

there is no parameters that i can change in the config page...(except authorize or not mp4;;;) most of them are hidden and unchangeable by me

maybe i could ask in phabricator ?

But, anyway is there a way to fix it? Brbrbr1mill (talk) 14:41, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Unable to backup my wiki
I'm unable to dump the xml for Scruffy wiki, as posted at T8994. Please could I have a dump of the xml for scruffy.miraheze.org? Rob Kam (talk) 13:52, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Fixed by deleting and restoring one of the pages. --Rob Kam (talk) 23:04, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

i'd like to make a forum page like this one on my wiki, how .?
HELLO, as i said in the title, where can i find the wikicode to make a page like this one ? when i click midify on this page, i find strange lines of codes i d'ont understand.. for example, i'd like to put the system with the button "add a topic" (and i didnt find it in the wikicode so i think it may be some template or something i dont understand... if someone can explain it to me a little, that would be nice!

thanks. Brbrbr1mill (talk) 16:31, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, all you’d need to do is import Community_noticeboard/header from meta. Be sure to include templates (optional) and subpages (definitely better to do, as you most likely wouldn’t wish to manually import all of the subpages). For the “Add topic” one, if you’re referring to the button on the header, it would be InputBox under Parser Hooks. -- Cheers, Bukkit ( Talk • All Contribs ) 19:25, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
