 * Anybody had a chance to look at this?
 * --DarkShadow (talk) 03:36, 9 December 2014 (GMT)
 * We have had a chance to review your request, and unfortunately, it cannot be granted for technical reasons, as our current server setup makes setting up Semantic MediaWiki and the related extensions extremely complicated. We apologize for the inconvenience. Arcane (talk) 20:09, 13 December 2014 (GMT)

rightwiki (Status: Open)

 * Wiki: rightwiki
 * Domain: right.orain.org
 * Extension/feature requests:

Fiala1 (talk) 19:21, 20 December 2014 (GMT)
 * Reason: 1. I'd like to have an own logo 2. I'd like to be able to show videos. 3. I'd like to avoid spammers by more tight registration control. 4. I'd like to be able to refresh the main page with a pusbutton 5. I'd like to be able to add multiple tar/zipped images to Rightpedia.
 * Most of these requests can be granted, except the Videoflash extension, which, according to the page on it, is supplanted in stability and function by the first extension you requested (EmbedVideo, which we can easily add), not to mention we can't guarantee it's security or stability since it's on a publicly editable webpage instead of a GitHub repo. Also, with your permission, I can either import a simple Purge button gadget or add a script for the same to your wiki's Common.js filer, which will enable a purge button feature for everyone, either can be done at your discretion. Arcane (talk) 02:38, 26 December 2014 (GMT)
 * Very good. Please add a script to common.js, and help me to implement its functionality in the main page, bottom, "Refresh main page cache" button. Fiala1 (talk) 10:07, 26 December 2014 (GMT)
 * Regarding the purge thing; the correct URL is http://right.orain.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=purge John (talk) 10:30, 26 December 2014 (GMT)
 * Thanks, that works now. Fiala1 (talk) 11:16, 30 December 2014 (GMT)
 * Most of these requests have been granted, except for the logo and user rights changes. The logo you submitted needs to be reduced in size to no larger than 135 x 135px high. As for the user rights changes, you could instead attempt importing some abuse filters (I have one on my wiki that has reduced our spam problem 99.99%), or if you still wish to change user rights, we can change it to where only users with the "autoconfirmed" flag can edit, but regular editors and anons can still view. The requested extensions have been installed, the purge feature has been fixed on the main page, and I added that script you wanted to the Common.js page. Arcane (talk) 20:46, 26 December 2014 (GMT)
 * I added a file Male-anatomy.png, which is 128x128 pixels high.
 * I added a user "Cica" and confirmed the registration, as requested per email. After that Cica can edit, successfully edited the article "Telephone tapping in the Eastern Bloc". That opens the way for spammers and trolls to do anything they want. Typically they register, write an introduction onto their user page, and disappear. I'd like to avoid this activity. Some of them use an obscene name, or name reminding other editors using cyrillic or greek letters to confuse other editors. And so on... Therefore I would prefer, if registration were disabled for new users, and only administrators could add new users. Fiala1 (talk) 17:25, 30 December 2014 (GMT)
 * If we make the registration to only allow autoconfirmed/confirmed editors to edit, that means anyone can make an account, but you must grant them the confirmed/autoconfirmed flag (they grant the same rights either way) for them to make any edits at all. This will instantly deter any spam messages, but will still allow users to register. If you do this, the wiki can remain open to public view and you can still control who has editing rights, and the red exclamation points next to those without these flags will serve as a way to tell who is trusted to edit in recent changes. If you wish it to be private, we can set it to have the member flag, which would serve the same purpose. Arcane (talk) 22:47, 30 December 2014 (GMT)
 * It is now completely open. I registered as cica1, and I can edit any page I want. No confirmation of any existing user is required for cica1 to write.
 * The possibility with only confirmed still would allow obscene or stupid user names, that can not be deleted, and also user names with cyrillic, greek and other non-latin characters.
 * I'd like to have the wiki so, that everybody can read, but nobody can register except administrators. If registered by an admin, user can also write. Is that possible?  Fiala1 (talk) 10:09, 31 December 2014 (GMT)
 * I am using now Titleblacklist and abuse log, and they seem to suffice for user security, therefore I withdraw my request concerning user security.


 * I also apply for the extension EasyTimeline. Thanks in advance Fiala1 (talk) 17:44, 1 January 2015 (GMT)
 * And I also apply for visitor count enabling for each page and in statistics. Thanks in advance Fiala1 (talk) 22:35, 10 January 2015 (GMT)
 * And I also apply for the Math package, to display matematics easier. Thanks in advance Fiala1 (talk) 22:19, 5 February 2015 (GMT)

Cannabis Wiki (Status: Done)

 * Wiki: Cannabis Wiki
 * Domain: cannabis.orain.org
 * Extension/feature requests:

--Timeshifter (talk) 09:22, 24 December 2014 (GMT)
 * Reason: I have imported the articles and templates. Now I need to upload the files to put in them. On another wiki farm the multi-upload page is called Special:MultiUpload. See: http://cannabis.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Special:MultiUpload . The Special:Version page there (http://cannabis.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Special:Version) lists the same extension as is linked above: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MultiUpload
 * ✅ Arcane (talk) 20:28, 26 December 2014 (GMT)
 * Thanks! --Timeshifter (talk) 00:34, 27 December 2014 (GMT)

Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Malleus 04:36, 2 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Reason: Constant spam
 * ✅ - sysops have access to Special:AbuseFilter. You can use Special:Nuke for deleting spam, but please keep the amount of pages you want to delete per 'run' (clicking on the "Nuke" button is one run) low, 40 should be okay. Southparkfan (talk) 12:12, 2 January 2015 (GMT)

Donjon Wiki : Import database from Wikia (Status: Done)

 * Wiki: Donjon Wiki
 * Domain: [//donjon.orain.org donjon.orain.org]
 * Extension/feature requests:

Nclm (talk) 17:29, 4 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Reason: Migrating from Wikia :)
 * ✅ - images aren't included. If you want, I can export the images from Wikia & import them on your wiki. Southparkfan (talk) 18:26, 4 January 2015 (GMT)


 * Thanks! For the images, I’d love to indeed, thank you! That was actually going to be my next request, I was thinking about using MultiImporter, but I did not know how to export them from Wikia. I’ll be curious to know the process… Have you made a script which reads Special:ListFiles or something? Nclm (talk) 18:44, 4 January 2015 (GMT)
 * I use a script from WikiTeam to do that. I'll let you know when the images import is done. Southparkfan (talk) 18:56, 4 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Right, thanks! Nclm (talk) 19:13, 4 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Hi, can you take a look at this comment, and request a dump for me? Thanks. Southparkfan (talk) 20:16, 4 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Hi, thanks for taking care of this. I already requested a dump, that’s how I got the xml.gz file with all the pages. Wikia Help says that this dump feature “does not include private user data or images”. I’m not sure what to do? Nclm (talk) 20:56, 4 January 2015 (GMT)

→ So I managed to save 110 of the 120 images with hopefully correct names. Here they are in a zip ball. May you upload them on the wiki? I’ll take care of the ten random remaining ones. Otherwise I think I can do it all by myself with the MultiUpload extension requested below? (so you don’t bother with this any more) Thanks again! Nclm (talk) 00:29, 5 January 2015 (GMT)
 * 101 out of 110 images are successfully uploaded. I have trouble with uploading files containing any of the following characters: é, ê, Î. I hope you would like to upload these yourself. For the files with "(", ")", and "&" I first had to convert the HTML in the file names . Southparkfan (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Thanks a lot for this! I can take over for what is remaining. Thanks again! Nclm (talk) 18:14, 9 January 2015 (GMT)

Donjon Wiki : images and plugins (Status: Open)

 * Wiki: Donjon Wiki
 * Domain: [//donjon.orain.org donjon.orain.org]
 * Extension/feature requests:

Nclm (talk) 21:47, 4 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Reason: Hi, here are some extensions that would be useful for the wiki, some edits for its logo and favicon, and a timezone set to where most of the readers/editors may live. Thanks!
 * Thanks for the logo and the time zone! I believe the favicon path isn’t right yet and would be rather be something along the lines of  than  ? Nclm (talk) 13:05, 7 January 2015 (GMT)
 * ✅ - $wgUploadDirectory should be used when possible (to reduce nginx load probably), but doesn't work at the moment. Southparkfan (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Right, okay thanks! Do you know when/how the favicon could work? Nclm (talk)
 * Edit: it’s actually working, sorry! Thank you! (so is it a copy of the .ico on the server not actually linked to the wiki file?) Nclm (talk) 18:20, 9 January 2015 (GMT)
 * I've indeed uploaded another image than the file on the wiki itself. If you want, I can link it to the file on your wiki. Southparkfan (talk) 18:24, 9 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Well, do as it would be the best for Orain. Linking to the wiki is useful in case of a favicon update, otherwise it’s fine. Nclm (talk) 18:49, 9 January 2015 (GMT)

 * Extension/feature requests:

Simonpa71 (talk) 08:05, 22 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Reason: this wiki is intended for Italian users. Thanks!
 * I've changed the language in the Database list however, I'm not sure about the rest. and/or  thoughts? D u s t i *Let's talk!* 08:09, 22 January 2015 (GMT)

I had not realized that this move would lock me out! (i think the permissions links have changed) :-) Could you restore my permissions ad administrator? Thanks, Simonpa71 (talk) 10:05, 22 January 2015 (GMT)
 * It wouldn't change anything permission wise. Once you sign in, refresh the page and you should be good. 67.193.33.41 16:15, 22 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Thanks for the suggestion. I logged in on the metawiki, and worked my way around. Weird. Something to do with cookies? Simonpa71 (talk)Simonpa71 (talk) 17:49, 23 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Hello, there is still something wrong in the login process, but I can't figure out what. Do you have any logs or trace files that you can check to see what is happening? I can only log through the Orain Meta site, and not directly onto the Bibbia2000 wiki.--82.54.152.243 09:50, 26 January 2015 (GMT)

Riderpedia (Status: In progress)

 * Wiki: Riderpedia
 * Domain: riderpedia.orain.org
 * Extension/feature requests:

BananaArms (talk) 04:54, 25 January 2015 (GMT)
 * Reason: Change from Orain to our own image. https://riderpedia.orain.org/wiki/File:Riderpedia_Logo.png

Has anyone been working on my request?


 * There are some special considerations that need to be made for installing TimedMediaHandler, since some of its features are extremely resource heavy. Setting your logo and enabling Tabber can be done immediately, so I will do that while we look at enabling TimedMediaHandler.  --FastLizard4 (talk) 05:21, 3 February 2015 (GMT)


 * - Extension:Tabber has been enabled on your wiki, and I have set the site logo as you requested. Please note that it may take some time, up to an hour, for the changes to take effect.  Please also note that, in the future, you may change your site's logo by simply uploading a new file to https://riderpedia.orain.org/wiki/File:Riderpedia_Logo.png now that it has been set as your wiki's logo.  I will continue working on TimedMediaHandler and let you know when we have come to a conclusion on it.  Happy editing!  --FastLizard4 (talk) 05:45, 3 February 2015 (GMT)

Jmol extension on HMWiki

 * Wiki: Health and Medicine Wiki
 * Domain: hm.orain.org
 * Extension: Jmol (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Jmol)
 * Reason: My Wiki could really do with the Java-based applet Jmol, this is because my Wiki is meant to display some 3D molecular structures in some articles. I joined here (e.g., see this mailing list that first gave me the idea of coming here https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2015-February/043901.html) as I was told that this Wiki-hosting site had far more freedom, extension-wise. Jmol is the major extension I moved here from Wikia for. Fuse809 (talk) 17:57, 2 February 2015 (GMT)
 * I am currently processing your request. Due to the fact the extension exists on a Subversion repository, I am going to have to convert it for use with our GitHub repository. I will also be running tests to verify it's stability and to make sure it has no security issues. Once that is done, it will be added to our repo and will be added to your wiki, please bear with us in the meantime. Arcane (talk) 21:15, 2 February 2015 (GMT)
 * I currently cannot handle this request due to needing a large number of extra files which I cannot acquire at present due to having a rather frail internet connection. I have filed a request to have other members of the staff to address this, again, please bear with us for the time being. Arcane (talk) 21:40, 2 February 2015 (GMT)
 * I have made some progress with your extension, will be attempting to add it to our repo soon. No security issues seem to be present, so as soon as I have confirmed it was added to our repo, I will add it and the required settings to your wiki. Arcane (talk) 17:37, 3 February 2015 (GMT)
 * ✅ The extension appears to be working fine with no conflicts, should be enabled on your wiki now. Let us know if you have any issues with it. Arcane (talk) 19:29, 3 February 2015 (GMT)
 * Thanks for all your efforts! Fuse809 (talk) 20:45, 3 February 2015 (GMT)
 * It is with extreme regret I had to remove this extension from use on Orain due to technical issues. The extension had several underlying PHP errors, that, when fixed, still refused to guarantee function of the extension. I got it "working" on localhost (it loaded, no page whiteouts when using parser hooks), but both the Java and HTML5 functions refused to work, and it refuses to work well at all on Orain. In addition, the documentation provided very little help in resolving these issues. I have left Orain's Jmol repository on our GitHub account in case you want to copy it and work on it yourself, and if I ever figure out how to get it functional, I'll happily re-enable it, but the current version seems broken codewise.

anarchism (Status: Open)

End of Time MUD Wiki (Status: Open)

 * Wiki: End of Time MUD Wiki
 * Domain: eot.orain.org
 * Extension/feature requests:

Dr. Swordopolis (talk) 00:59, 9 February 2015 (GMT)
 * Reason: EX1: I wanted to be able to put rudimentary polling in the game so that users can decide on new MUD features. EX2: To allow people to play relevant music files and gameplay videos to the game. EX3: To stop bots from taking over the website and the forum. EX4: I wanted to have an on-site forum of players that can easily link to articles on the wiki.
 * Afraid the first one is off the table, since it's highly customized for RW, no open source to our knowledge, and there are other polling extensions we could install instead, please select something from the provided link. Arcane (talk) 01:03, 9 February 2015 (GMT)
 * In that case, I redact the polling suggestion for the time being. While I do like RW's implementation, I don't have a pressing need for any other particular poll right now; they all require PHP babysitting or are too unwieldly to use. --Dr. Swordopolis (talk) 02:35, 9 February 2015 (GMT)
