GrayhawkWiki (Status: )

 * WikiCode: Grayhawk Paladins Wiki
 * URL: grayhawk.orain.org
 * Type: Private
 * Description: Knowledgebase for our Game of War: Fire Age Alliance
 * Requester: User:
 * Approved: ✅ Wiki will be made private shortly (will be done within 5 minutes at the most). Anyone can create accounts but only those whom you approve of (by giving them the member right) will be able to read the wiki. Account creation is left open to avoid issues with our SUL system. John (talk) 16:36, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Privacy seems to have been applied, but I can't even access the site. I get a "You are not allowed to execute the action you have requested" when I try to even visit the main page. Am I missing something? I show as logged in.
 * Fixed. John (talk) 12:54, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to have our own logo used? I can't seem to find the setting. The file is: here
 * This type of request is generally put on the Request features page. You're right, you won't find a way to add the logo yourself. It needs to be added using the $wgLogo variable in the LocalSettings.php file for your wiki, which, on an Orain hosted wiki, can only be accessed by a global Steward and is processed using a GIT push. At least, that is my understanding of the procedure anyway. Hope that helps. Augur NZ &#x2710; &#x2315; 19:25, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Sturmkrieg wiki request (Status: )

 * Description:Warhammer 40,000 and the Sturmkrieg Empire
 * Requester: User:
 * Approved:
 * There is already a Sturmkrieg wiki and we may run into legal issues. --Jeff (talk) (contribs) 15:41, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The existing Sturmkrieg wiki is a plagiarized ripoff of the Sturmkrieg Empire that I created. The writers of the so called "Sturmkrieg Sector" stole my idea. I am the owner of it. They cannot cause legal problems. I could cause legal problems for them. Sturmkrieger (talk) 19:26, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Please submit a complaint to ICANN, sue them in US District Court, and then come back when you've won. We're not ready to be sued right now.
 * That's the same thing you told me when you submitted your application to MyWikis. But if you'd like a wiki here, please do cause legal problems on the so-called ripoff; we don't want any legal problems ourselves. --Jeff (talk) (contribs) 21:37, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * You can call it Sturmkrieg Empire then. It will be different from their appalling "Sturmkrieg Sector." Sturmkrieger (talk) 01:36, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Guys, I'm going to jump in here for just a second. Jeff, last I checked you weren't someone with the authority to make decisions on what wikis can and cannot be created, correct? Also, I would advise that you don't give legal advice for the implications it, in turn, could cause you later down the road unless you are a professional law expert. Sturmkrieger, I understand what happened to you wiki and the rip-off that formed from it; that is unfortunate. However, having two wikis that essentially cover the same thing would force users to chose one that they visit most often, and that will drive traffic down toward your wiki. Could you possibly explain what would make your wiki unique compared to this other one? Something that would make it more appealing to users and thus increase traffic to it? Thank you in advance, Joe G (talk) 19:01, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * My wiki would be different because it would have the real Sturmkrieg Empire and not the nonsense that Dondrekahn and Inquisitor Ehrenstein made up where the Sturmkrieg race is created through the systematic genocidal rape of Germans. You can read their wiki. Its a load of grotesque Anti German propaganda where they merged with the people who committed genocide against them. Sturmkrieger (talk) 02:49, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I know Inquisitor Ehrenstein! I never knew they would do this, anywho I am going to ask his side as well.--Tyreek (talk) 21:49, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't mean to be biased here, but I personally don't think we should host such topics. Genocide and Nazis are not topics taken lightly. I will not participate in this conversation anymore since it seems I've made a point. Also Joe, I do have a say (and so does everybody else) on what wikis can and cannot be created. I would suggest you act a bit kindly next time instead of responding with such a hostile message. I humbly invite your opinion but please, you are also starting to act like you are an authority. I do apologize for any rudeness caused. --Jeff (talk) (contribs) 02:36, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

FMDS (Status: )

 * WikiCode: FMDSWiki
 * URL: [//fmds.orain.org fmds.orain.org]
 * Type: Private
 * Description: This will be a private wiki for a personal project that I hope to have completed by February 2014. The wiki will be used to assist with the updating of my home computer network. I had started doing this on a localhost installation of MediaWiki, but I figure that it would be best to have this hosted online rather than locally, as I'll be wiping clean all my home computers, including the localhost MediaWiki installation, as part of this project. The wiki will have a page for each of my hardware configurations, and pages for each software package that I intend to install onto them, along with installation instructions and BASH scripts. There will also be task lists on the wiki to keep me on track with this project.

We'd like to move our wiki to Orain to reduce the maintenance work-load and make collaboration easier for our members. Main content will come from http://persian-computing.org/en/, but we will be bringing in content from older wikis (website's down at the moment) and Wikipedia.
