Donation section
Can someone add a donations section to the Main Page?

Maybe below the Contact us IRC: #miraheze (recommended) Facebook: Miraheze Twitter: @miraheze On-wiki: Help center section?

Could we add a link to the list of wikis on the home page?
I'm not even sure where the link is, but it would be nice to have a link to the list of wikis.
 * The link would be Special:SiteMatrix but I'm hoping we manage to improve it (so it's not mediawiki-specific). -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 20:13, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It would be nice add a few columns to the report if you get a chance to improve it. Date Started, count of Main Page Updates, Pages, maybe wiki owner? Robert
 * The extension is currently wikimedia specific and developed by others. Including this information (even if we already had the information) would be a lot more work. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 21:07, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Robert

Main Page update
I put a sample of the main page update here:


 * https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Test_main_page

I couldn't remember where the language for the Donate section is so I just left it blank.

I replaced the word wikis with this wikis wiki text

Wiki Analysis
I was able to download the main page of all 695 wikis into a single zip file.

What would be the useful information to parse out of each page?:


 * Last Update
 * wiki title


 * PS the wiki title on main pages is created automatically, but is done using the variable, so I'm not sure if it works for you or not. Also, I don't believe that the last edit to the main page is an accurate representation of when a wiki was last updated. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 22:48, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't know if there's anything useful to be gotten out of s automatically.  Maybe to see if they still have the default front page -- that might be useful to know.  Now, if you meant a manual parse using your wetware, it would be great to have a one-sentence summary of what the wiki is about.  It would be nice to have something with more content than just Special:SiteMatrix.  Maybe we do something like our own version of SiteMatrix, and get each wiki to write a summary about itself -- possibly as a message page.  That would be neat.

 * I'll try to get to the summary of what the wikis are about by time. I'll look at 20 or so of them to see if automation or getting more people to help is the easiest way forward. I'll also pull up all the history pages to see if I can parse out the logins of the people who have changed the wikis. Essentially I'm reverse engineering a contact list for the site.
 * Oh ya I also make a page for analysis wiki you can help or add from Special:Sitematrix, I made for easyly wacth action guest on the wiki and development a wiki and also see how many people was contributing. Do you support? see this

 * Well, that would be useful, but TestWiki isn't really the "official TestWiki" of Miraheze. What do you say? Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 11:48, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay :)TriX (talk) 11:54, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
