Global Rename
Sorry, I forgot writting URL of my wiki; the URL is http://krsw.orain.org/. --Kalsava（カルサヴァ） (talk) 06:13, 3 June 2015 (BST)

Problem: no permissions on new wiki
Referring to this support ticket suggesting staff intervention, it seems that permissions are wrong on my recently created wiki "rohbiotik.orain.org". Please correct them. Thanks in advance! --Rohbio.net (talk) 14:44, 5 June 2015 (BST)

Steward nomination
Hello current Stewards and other community members. I'm not exactly sure how or why the current Stewards were chosen or how any future ones would be chosen. I myself have been around here two months but I've been trying to work with the community to figure out how to help improve it.

I've been talking to Southparkfan a lot lately and I was thinking that they'd make a great Steward. SPF is a current sysadmin and I think they do a great job at that. Addshore and SPF are the two sysadmins I currently think are the most active and addshore is already a steward too. I think that SPF would also be a great Steward.

As a sysadmin I believe SPF already has access to most, if not all, of the tools Stewards have. Being a Steward would allow SPF to help in an administrative manner rather than just maintaining Orain. This would allow SPF to regularly use Oversight without worrying if it's an "emergency" situation (SPF has handled a majority of my OS requests) and it would also allow SPF to handle Requests for permissions.

I honestly don't think that any of the current Stewards are doing a bad job but I understand that things happen off-wiki and having another great community member helping as a Steward would be beneficial.

Thank you Stewards and community members for considering this. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 18:46, 9 June 2015 (BST)
 * I accept the nomination. Southparkfan (talk) 18:56, 9 June 2015 (BST)


 * Abstain - as a current steward, however, SPF will have to complete the identification process - which will be discussed with him privately as I am aware of his situation. D u s <font color="#0000ff">t <font color="#6600cc">i *Let's talk!* 17:27, 12 June 2015 (BST)

 * Abstain for now - I think SPF would make a fine steward, but I would only support if he completed the identification process. I'm surprised that he has not already (being a sysadmin and such), but that's for another discussion another time. -- Joe G. (Talk) 00:32, 10 June 2015 (BST)

Request for Wiki Creator
As addshore has told me to post on "Orain Meta", after I sent him an email I will. I would like to be Wiki Creator because I do not think there are enough. As NDKilla has been chosen administrator and sysadmin she will no longer have time to do all the Wiki Creating. I have read the guide and I know how the process to create wiki's works. --Reception123 (talk) 18:16, 18 June 2015 (BST)
 * For the record I plan on still handling wiki creation as a sysadmin but I am currently out of the country. I have no objections to Reception123 becoming a wiki creator but would like someone else to guide as I will be busy. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 19:32, 18 June 2015 (BST)
 * Yes, but you will of course have bigger responsibilities. --Reception123 (talk) 19:33, 18 June 2015 (BST)
 * What is the current state with creating CNAMEs? Did anyone manage to fix the auto creation?  ·addshore·  talk to me! 22:26, 18 June 2015 (BST)
 * I don't think so.... Sadly ;( -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:47, 19 June 2015 (BST)
 * Rights granted. Please do not create wikis yet until we (either addshore, NDKilla or me) said you can - there are some issues that need to be fixed first. Southparkfan (talk) 18:23, 19 June 2015 (BST)
 * Thank you very much! Please write on my talkpage when I can start creating wikis. --Reception123 (talk) 19:02, 19 June 2015 (BST)

Problem with thumbnail
https://right.orain.org/wiki/File:Global_Fertility_Rates,_1970_and_2014.png The file does not show at all. The file on the pc is correct, size is 284kB. Fiala1 (talk) 19:45, 24 June 2015 (BST)
 * What do you mean it doesn't show up? It appears that the larger version was creating issues but the 283kB file currently uploaded works. My user page has two different size thumbnails of the image, and it also appears on the image's information page. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 20:58, 24 June 2015 (BST)
 * It most likely was a caching issue. You should always try purging the page first before doing anything else. Wynter (talk) 04:15, 25 June 2015 (BST)
 * Tech:Noticeboard the image is now working because it was manually resized.. I've seen this problem in other places with large images.. Like I said on the noticeboard I'm not sure if it's an issue with the built in thumbnail size limiter or if it's an actual limitation that will have to be worked around. Anyways, feels more techy than stewardy -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 23:21, 25 June 2015 (BST)

Delete my wiki
Greetings all. Please delete my wiki completely. I don't want the old pages showing up in any new wiki under this subdomain:
 * https://cannabis.orain.org

I have decided not to follow through and create another cannabis wiki. I was thinking of a different focus for this cannabis wiki, versus the other cannabis wikis out there I have worked on. But I don't have the time.

I want complete deletion and not adoption. That way people will not be confused if they see my user name on the edit history of any pages here. They were mostly framework pages and categories. I already deleted all the pages and categories. And I don't want them undeleted. --Timeshifter (talk) 09:59, 28 June 2015 (BST)
 * Hi Timeshifter! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have time to attend to your other cannabis wiki. Unfortunately, we do not delete wikis here at Orain upon request. Your wiki will follow the dormant wikis policy and be closed upon meeting inactivity criteria. If another steward of sysadmin wants to close it earlier, they may do so. After 6 months of inactivity, the wiki may then be permanently deleted. I do not think you will have anyone restoring pages with your username in the edit history, and if they do, you are free to ask them to remove it at their discretion. I'm sorry we cannot directly fulfill your request, but thank you for using Orain! -- Joe G. (Talk) 18:46, 28 June 2015 (BST)


 * I can understand the hesitation on the part of a wiki farm to delete a wiki. Some wiki farms are OK with it, and some aren't. Wikis with one controlling person (only one bureaucrat or steward) should be allowed to do this in my opinion, especially if nearly all the edits are theirs. In my wiki, there are *no* pages to defend or be worried about. See:
 * https://cannabis.orain.org/wiki/Special:AllPages - only redirects show up. I am not even sure how they arrived here. I think a steward may have misinterpreted or enlarged one of my import requests. I did not bother deleting the redirects since they are not seen anywhere after all the pages were deleted. Those redirects in the "AllPages" results though might irritate somebody that adopts the subdomain. Why not give them a clean wiki instead, by deleting the wiki completely. Then give them single-bureaucrat status on the totally clean subdomain of cannabis.orain.org
 * From Dormant wikis page: "After 6 months of inactivity, a wiki may be permanently deleted from the network unless a request is made for archival where the wiki will be kept on the network indefinitely or until such a request becomes outdated." There is nothing to archive. So why wait? --Timeshifter (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2015 (BST)
 * The dormant wiki page also says that someone can adopt the wiki within that period if they so wish. I know it is not your desire that someone does, but if they want to, we don't have a compelling reason not to let them. At this time, I am not in a position to make an exception to the policy and think it should stand as is. If another steward wishes to make an exception, that is their choice and I will respect it. I'm sorry that my answer isn't what you'd like it to be, but it is the policy as it is currently written. -- Joe G. (Talk) 01:56, 29 June 2015 (BST)
 * OK. Could you ask the other stewards about this? Rules usually have exceptions. "I know it is not your desire that someone does". No, I want someone else to adopt the subdomain, cannabis.orain.org. I am trying to free it up completely.


 * I have a question. Is there some kind of mass delete function, I or you can use to delete all the redirects listed here:
 * https://cannabis.orain.org/wiki/Special:AllPages - nearly all of them never redirected to actual pages here. I only experimented with a few opinion pages here months ago when I was thinking of forking them from my pages on Wikia's cannabis wiki, where I am the sole bureaucrat. But I soon deleted the opinion pages here after further thought, and deciding against forking everything from Wikia to other wikis. I had already forked the Global Marijuana March city pages to Shoutwiki's cannabis wiki, where I am the steward. I had decided to keep the opinion pages on Wikia months ago. I was thinking of maybe starting another focus here on the Orain wiki. But I no longer have the time to do so. Anyway, I don't want to have to tediously delete the redirects one by one. Can you or another steward or admin help? --Timeshifter (talk) 09:41, 29 June 2015 (BST)

(reset outdent) So, what you basically want, is to delete all of the redirects that still remain or all of the pages listed on AllPages? We do have Special:Nuke, but I don't know if it is available on each wiki. If not, I will happily delete whatever pages you want. -- Joe G. (Talk) 17:24, 29 June 2015 (BST)
 * Actually, I just tried to nuke some of the pages on your wiki and because they are not recently added, I cannot. The system administrators do have the ability to run deleteBatch.php on a list of pages. I'll go poke one of the for you. -- Joe G. (Talk) 17:27, 29 June 2015 (BST)
 * Thanks. --Timeshifter (talk) 19:23, 29 June 2015 (BST)

Fatal exception of type MWException
I've noticed some wikis have been getting this error. Every few page refreshes it comes up. So far I've seen it on allthetropes and right orain wikis. The page is blank except for things like "[a2eacd4d] 2015-06-29 03:21:56: Fatal exception of type MWException" and "[bf1321ce] 2015-06-29 03:22:01: Fatal exception of type MWException".

Deleting Wikis : 6 Months of inactivity
Hello, there are some wiki's that have been closed for 6 months and have not been adopted by anyone, as of the Dormant wikis these wiki's should be deleted by a steward. There is a list below of these Wikis. I have not yet found all of them, I will add them to this list. You have helped me with the Dormant wikis so maybe you could do the deleting. --Reception123 (talk) 08:41, 29 June 2015 (BST) https://ansiklopedi.orain.org/wiki/Main_Page

 * I don't think I have the technical ability to delete the wiki, just close them. As a wikicreator, you have the ability to add the databases of those wikis to the Deleted Wikis List and someone will take care of it from there. -- Joe G. (Talk) 15:52, 29 June 2015 (BST)

exception on right.orain.org
when we try to edit, we get: [85861b6b] 2015-06-29 08:16:52: Fatal exception of type MWException We also get the same type of exception, when we try to look at the Recent changes page. Fiala1 (talk) 09:17, 29 June 2015 (BST)
 * I can perfectly see both the RecentChanges page, and edit other pages. I have heard the error has been solved. --Reception123 (talk) 14:35, 29 June 2015 (BST)


 * Monday, it came back and by mid-day everything was down on all wikis except for the very front page of meta.orain.org -- all other pages were down. I did a test and found that Cloudflare wasn't bringing up the CAPTCHA page for Tor so something is being routed wrong.  Orain stayed down all Monday through the night and came back at some point today, Tuesday...but I only checked first an hour ago.  Today, meta and allthetropes work perfectly but right gets errors about 3/4th of the time when not logged in and about 1/2 of the time when logged in.  As of now it happens far more often on &action=history pages and Special: pages like Special:Recentchanges and submitting things to a show preview does it like all of the time.  Chemtrail Morgellons (talk) 21:24, 30 June 2015 (BST)

Now (30th June, 2015), 22:22 evening, Middle European Time, again: Selecting recent changes causes: [848019ec] 2015-06-30 20:21:34: Fatal exception of type MWException Calling edit on any the page also causes exeption [97094500] 2015-06-30 20:28:53: Fatal exception of type MWException Strangely the error comes and goes, after page reload it disappears, and later re-appears. Fiala1 (talk) 21:23, 30 June 2015 (BST)

right.orain is now fully down and even after hundreds of refreshes, won't load anymore. Other wikis still work. Chemtrail Morgellons (talk) 00:03, 1 July 2015 (BST)

The MWException mainly affects right.orain even though the extensions are for another wiki, likely the testwiki. The testwiki and all the other wikis get intermitent errors but are not down. Sunday, Monday, and today right.orain gets growing MWException and then permanently goes down around noon from MWException. It stays down for about 22 hours, then is up about 2 hours, then goes right back down. Last month Orain had outages like this and it lasted weeks.

I tested it and I am not getting the Cloudflare CAPTCHA when I connect on Tor so Cloudflare is not up. That may be related to the issue. Chemtrail Morgellons (talk) 01:58, 1 July 2015 (BST)


 * All of these should now be fixed.  ·addshore·  talk to me! 09:32, 4 July 2015 (BST)

Notification of resignment
Dear readers,

I write this message because I want to explain the community something. You may or may not know who I am, but I’m currently best known as a wiki creator, global sysop and system admininistrator who has been part of Orain since the beginning (in July two years ago!). I have various rights and roles here, and I have always contributed to Orain as best as I can. But, from now on, I will no longer be a wiki creator, global sysop or sysadmin.

I’ll immediately resign from all my positions (as of writing: Meta sysop, Meta bureaucrat, Global Rollbacker, Global Sysop, system administrator (and some other accounts related to this)). There are a few reasons for that.

I don’t really like the work anymore. Despite the fact that I work as a volunteer, I feel the work has become more of a responsibility than something you like to do. That’s not anyone’s fault (I really mean that), but I still don’t really enjoy it anymore compared to a while back before this. I don’t want to do volunteer work if I feel it’s not really volunteering anymore.

There are also some more reasons besides the above one, but I’d like to keep them private. I’d like to thank you all for all the great times I have had with you. It was a pleasure to work here. I hopefully may see you somewhere else, like on a Wikimedia project, or on IRC.

Oh, and as a last note: I will leave Orain, but not things which are more or less known by people on Orain (e.g. IRC and Wikimedia projects). If you want to contact me, you are always welcome to do so. Either via Special:EmailUser/Southparkfan, IRC (you can usually find me in #wikimedia- channels), or on a Wikimedia project. My username there is Southparkfan.

Thank you for the great times, and goodbye!

Continued problems on All The Tropes

 * Every page has the same error when trying to load the subpage tabs at the top. Instead of the buttons to take you to Quotes, Laconic, and such, it displays "Lua error: callParserFunction: function "SUBPAGES" was not found".


 * You're lucky allthetropes is even up. right is completely down while all others are up.  Whatever's causing the tab error on allthetropes is in Template:Trope.  Template:Trope has code like #vardefine, #ifeq, and #invoke which I've seen have parsing trouble on wikis.  Chemtrail Morgellons (talk) 04:16, 1 July 2015 (BST)


 * Comment by Sysadmin  Orain is experiencing global issues with several extensions that use parser functions, and I'm having trouble figuring out why. The issue on ATT is caused by thee fact that several of these extensions have been disabled to make the site accessible. RightWiki is currently experiencing a continuous outage because it uses Extension:EmbedVideo, but I currently can't disable the extension. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 12:30, 1 July 2015 (BST)

 * Activation but it does not operate. --MINT (talk) 01:36, 6 July 2015 (BST)

After being up and down for several days, I notice it's back now but the video code is very different. Not the code for using it, but the code it generates for displaying a video. Then I checked on other websites and I see it's actually YouTube that changed their code--all websites everywhere get this negative change. If you have flashblock and then rightclick to open a video in a new window, it used to display a nice full screen view https colon //www.youtube.com/embed/84hz9w2GlV4 and now it displays a broken view https colon //s.ytimg.com/yts/swfbin/player-vflCB26A5/watch_as3.swf#!flashvars#video_id=nascar-nscs15-day2-high5. I wonder if YouTube was behind the extension problem.

Also replace "colon" with ":" on the links. I keep getting "Your edit includes new external links. To protect the wiki against automated spam, we kindly ask you to type the two words you see in the box below:" and no box comes up to enter the CAPTCHA into.

 * I'm so sorry that it won't let you add external links. I've gone ahead and assigned you the necessary permissions (I hope!) to not require you to complete the captcha and add the external links. I'll file a report with our system administrators and see what I can do about the captcha not appearing as well, it definitely should be working! Thank you for also explaining the new YouTube thing! -- Joe G. (Talk) 02:02, 7 July 2015 (BST)
 * Thank you for the account change. Hmmm... I notice the extension video is back off again.  I don't know why the extension still has errors.  It might be a combination of two extensions together like people taking multiple pharmaceutical pills as medicine and have bad interactions.  You might've heard of elderly people taking 30 different pills together. Chemtrail Morgellons (talk) 08:35, 7 July 2015 (BST)

I can't able to edit entire articles in my private wiki.
It's only available as 'View Source' and I can't edit them with the reason is 'You do not have permission to edit this page' even my account having administrator and bureaucrat rights on that wiki and there's no protection has applied. So please check that problem if possible? Thanks for read these section. :) --Lagoon (talk) 09:41, 3 July 2015 (BST)
 * That is odd. --Reception123 (talk) 09:45, 3 July 2015 (BST)
 * I may be mistaken but it appears you have several edits on your wiki. Did this issue just start? I've been trying to disable editing on closed wikis, sorry about this. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:38, 3 July 2015 (BST)
 * Yeah, these problem was started at last a day or two days. --Lagoon (talk) 16:11, 3 July 2015 (BST)
 * The issue is with the commit you made last night. You removed the 'edit' right from the user group and now no one has the edit right at all on private wikis. You and I can edit them because we are given that right in our global steward group, but otherwise, no group on the private wiki has the ability to edit. I would suggest adding 'edit' to the sysop, crat, and member groups on private wikis. -- Joe G. (Talk) 23:18, 3 July 2015 (BST)
 * PR #638 should fix this. Wynter (talk) 23:50, 3 July 2015 (BST)

(outdent)Thank you Wynter! -- Joe G. (Talk) 01:40, 4 July 2015 (BST)
 * Thanks for letting me know where the problem has occur in. Anyway, still my wiki does not able to edit them but I hope they'll fix it soon. --Lagoon (talk) 02:02, 4 July 2015 (BST)
 * Lagoon, we are just waiting for a system admin to formally approve the changes and you will be all set. It shouldn't be too much longer! Thank you for your patience! -- Joe G. (Talk) 03:12, 4 July 2015 (BST)
 * I have merged the PR, this should be deployed in the next 10 mins.  ·addshore·  talk to me! 08:43, 4 July 2015 (BST)
 * Yeah, it has been nicely fixed right now! Thank you so much! <3 --Lagoon (talk) 08:59, 4 July 2015 (BST)
 * No worries!  ·addshore·  talk to me!
