Permissions on bibbia2000.orain.org

 * Wiki: bibbia2000
 * Hi, I asked for the default language to be changed from English to Italian, and it was done. The weird thing is that now I cannot login directly, but must login to orain meta first, and navigate through settings and unified login. The main page (that I created as "Pagina principale") tells me that I do not have sufficient permissions to read it, which is not true, because I am an administrator. I cannot find any settings or permissions to change locally to solve this. Can you please help? --Simonpa71 (talk) 09:56, 27 January 2015 (GMT)
 * I understand and appreciate you have been very busy with unexpected changes in the team. Thanks for your hard work and determination (especially Dusti) in keeping everything going. I wondered whether there was any progress on finding the root cause of this issue. You solved it by changing to wiki from private to public. Now I would like to find a way to restrict page editing at least to autoconfirmed users. I tried checking the checkbox to recursively apply permissions on subpages of the main page, but it cannot be checked, even after "unlock further permissions" is checked.--Simonpa71 (talk) 07:52, 4 February 2015 (GMT)
 * Hi there! I can't help you with this issue directly, but I would like to pose a question to our sysadmins (@Kudu, @Addshore): Do we still have Special:UserLogin or whatever special page(s) process logins whitelisted globally? I remember this was an issue with private wikis and users could not login directly to the wiki - whitelisting those pages fixed it. If someone could check this and confirm it, that would be fantastic! -- Joe G. (Talk) 01:44, 5 February 2015 (GMT)
 * Interesting and defiantly something we need to look at!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 23:12, 3 April 2015 (BST)

Possible sock of User:Windowseditor90 / random crat on testwiki
See Special:CentralAuth/SATAN 666 DESTROYER. The account only exists on testwiki, and was given bureaucrat by User:Example 2. Most likely a sock of User:Windowseditor90 but the bureaucrat flag should be removed either way. There was no request for (any) permissions, and the account was randomly given bureaucrat. There is (growing) discussion/possible consensus that testwiki bureaucrats should have the unblockself right. If this is implemented this user should definitely have bcrat removed, but it should be removed either way.

Thanks, NDKilla (talk) 11:58, 27 May 2015 (BST)

Being able to remove Bureuacrat on TestWiki
As things like the Example2 and WindowsEditor thing can happen I think we would need someone on the TestWiki that can remove bureaucrat permissions. Could this be possible? --Reception123 (talk) 17:53, 27 May 2015 (BST)


 * Don't support this. Crat is easy to get and this doesn't happen enough. If someone could remove all other bureaucrats it would be even worse. Just join irc and !steward for these things. NDKilla (talk) 11:49, 28 May 2015 (BST)
 * I did join IRC, and nothing was done. Im not saying let anyone be able to just someone very trusted. User:Reception123 (signature thing is missing)
 * For some reason I thought that you wanted bureaucrats to be able to remove the bureaucrat bit. That is a bad idea. However having a new/different usergroup able to remove bureaucrats would be a lovely idea! Since bureaucrat is so easy to get. Current community should decide who would get the permission.

 * I the proposal to NDkilla. Cyborg (talk) 18:45, 29 May 2015 (BST)

No edit icons any more
When we edit an article, we used to have icons for adding images for example. These icons were in the top left side of the editing window since the DDos attacks fix. We did not change in Mediawiki (common.js or common.css, etc...) in the past 4 months. (right.orain.org). I also can not see the images here (meta.orain.org), however, I do not know, if they existed here before the DDos attacks. Fiala1 (talk) 10:33, 30 May 2015 (BST)
