Sturmkrieger

 * By "anti German propaganda," he means that I don't buy into his Nazi apologist nonsense. He's victim blaming in the extreme against millions of Holocaust victims.  He's a real looney.  Inquisitor Ehrenstein (talk) 01:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see what you mean, eh by the way you deleted my wiki on wikihub yet?--Tyreek (talk) 21:15, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Keep wiki
Hey, do you still want Encyclopaedia National. I was wondering since Dusti removed it and I have re-added it as I did not see a request for removing this wiki. John (talk) 17:04, 23 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Of course I still want the wiki! I edit Encyclopedia National, Faalingar Wiki, and Encyclopaedia Oranica.--Tyreek (talk) 00:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That was a mistake lol. I saw two encyclopedia's and thought I added Oranica twice. I didn't look closely enough to see one was National and one was Oranica. Thanks John. D u s t i *Let's talk!* 02:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Orain Site Update #1
This can be called the official first monthly site update hence the #1 so; let's get on to what has happened during the month of July!

During July, Orain added two new servers to the cluster, there were two incidents and one long term fix.
 * Technical
 * prod5 was added as an additional webserver which we plan to use to help distribute the load of web requests and as a fail-over so if prod4 fails, we can continue to provide you all with your wikis.
 * prod6 was added and is still in the setting up stage. It is planned to take over the role of prod1, a server we are planning to decommission eventually.
 * We had a small security issue regarding ElasticSearch on our prod3 server. No unauthorized access to the data stored on the server was seen and the server has since been made more secure. As a security precaution, ElasticSearch was removed from the cluster and wikis were defaulted back to MediaWiki search.
 * From July 30th to August 1st; there were issues with out going MediaWiki mail. This has since been resolved however incoming mail to all @orain.org addresses are still not functioning as of August 3rd.
 * A long-term issue with images was resolved on July 15th.


 * New Features
 * A wikicreator group was added to metawiki so community users can handle new wiki requests which is one step into delegating new roles and responsibilities to the community. Wikicreators are chosen by system administrators using their discretion.
 * Cyberpower678's tool was given access to some database tables on public wikis. As a result the UserAnalysis tool works on all public Orain wikis.
 * UrlShortener was enabled on all Orain wikis to allow shorter URLs to be used. Currently URLs follow the form of 'https://$database.orain.org/o/$id'. If wikis want to use a shorten URL of their choice; please make a request to the system administrators.
 * Private wikis may now (on request) use image authorization for their wikis. This means images are made web-inaccessible as to preserve the security of images uploads while still being accessed by users with 'read' access to your wiki.
 * Orain now allows the use of OAuth. Please see the OAuth page on MediaWiki for more details. OAuth requests can be made on any wiki and will be approved by a system administrator on metawiki.
