Stewards' noticeboard

Archive Index

Index Wiki ( transferred from Administrators' noticeboard )
Can it have a link on the main page or sidebar so new users know they can go to it and create a page about their wiki or find information about existing wikis? D4rkst4r (talk) 22:40, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

 * The sidemenu Is global, And not only in the index page. As well - Only wiki sysop's can edit the sidemenu, and Even Stewards cannot change it. SleepyMode  11:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * D4rk, do you mean you want Index wiki to be on the sidebar of Meta wiki? Or all wikis? If the wiki grows and looks helpful we might link it here, but probably not globally. Also, SleepyMode, what you said about Stewards not being able to do that is not true, as Stewards have most if not all of the permissions local sysops have, we just don't use them as much on other wikis. Specifically, Stewards do have read, edit, editprotected, and editinterface globally, which are all of the rights required to edit the system interface on any wiki. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Request for adding testwiki to Dormancy policy exceptions
I am requesting to add testwiki to Dormancy policy exceptions as it is used by users to test out stuff so they can learn mediawiki and use it on their wikis as well as other users that want to test new stuff added for miraheze (bots, etc.) Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 16:40, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Extension:MultiUpload disabled globally
I've gone ahead and disabled Extension:MultiUpload on all wikis where it was enabled. This extension is throwing end-user server 500 errors, has been unmaintained, and I haven't personally seen it working since MediaWiki 1.24 (we are currently running ). I'd personally recommend Extension:MsUpload if you still need bulk-uploading functionality, but you might want to look at other things that extension does, or find your own alternative. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

ric.miraheze.org
Hello. Last 10th november I got my wiki at mirahaze. ric.miraheze.org

I have a problem, I enter with my user account and it seems I have no administrator and bureaucrat permissions.

Could you make me administrator and bureaucrat?

And also this other users: https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:SergiDiaz&action=edit&redlink=1 https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:RenéMérou&action=edit&redlink=1 https://ric.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pablo2garcia

If you do now want or can add them as admins and bureaucrats I would need to change my password in order to give it to them, since I am not so tech savvy, and let them do the initial setups. And I could not change my password. If you could change it for: "maravilla". But our first option is to make them admins and bureaucrats.

Also we would want to change the settings so users can create pages, and the default user language. What configuration files must we change? Just give us a hint, we will study it.

And is it possible to download back ups of the whole wiki? How?

Thanks a lot for your time and the Miraheze initiative.


 * I'm looking into the user permissions on your wiki now. What do you mean you'd have to change your password to give it to them?
 * You can't change any of the "configuration files" for your wiki, that is handled by System administrators. Some things can be changed on wiki, but what you're describing does sound like a configuration change. Please make a request at Request features.
 * You can download backups of the whole wiki. To have a backup created, please ask a sysadmin (most likely.
 * Thanks for your support :) Hopefully we can help you soon. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * After quickly going back to wiki creation logs for November 10th, I found your wiki and the associated request. I've gone ahead and given your Administrator and Bureaucrat rights on your wiki. You may now log in and assign these rights to any other users. Note that bureaucrats don't really give any administrative positions besides being able to choose more administrators. If you give anyone on your wiki administrator, you will not be able to remove it yourself, you will have to request a Steward to do it for you. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:50, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Problem with a JPG file.
Please see my recently uploaded file: Building, cannot generating thumbnail image from it, so cannot using it.

Thanks, --Lalo5555 (talk) 01:18, 10 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi It appears that the file you linked to is loading correctly for me, including thumbnails. Could you provide a link to a case where you tried to use it and it failed? Thanks! -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:41, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Change my wiki as private
Please change my wiki as private. I mean all the pages I create as private wiki. Thanks D Chandrasekhar

Please change my wiki as private wiki. I mean all the page I've created and will create in future by default as private wiki's.

Thanks D Chandrasekhar ( User:Chandrusweths )


 * Hi you must request a wiki here, and specify it as private. The pages you created here aren't actually on your wiki yet, and I'm going to delete them. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 14:52, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Backup #1 please
Hello. Could you run a complete backup of our wiki? (izanagi.miraheze.org). Made a lot of progress that need to be saved just in case. Thanks! Oberyn (talk)
 * I will make an issue on GitHub and it should be done soon. Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:43, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
