 * 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.

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)

 * 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)

 * Wiki: bibbia2000
 * Domain: bibbia2000.orain.org
 * 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)

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)
 * The MediaWikiPlayer extension is also off the table for technical reasons. I personally tried to get this working, and despite going through all the steps listened, I couldn't get the player rendering, so I suggest finding an simpler extension as an alternative. GethN7 (talk) 19:04, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
 * In that case, may I have the extension that the Riderpedia wiki uses? If that is not available, then would  be okay as an alternative?--Dr. Swordopolis (talk) 08:53, 18 February 2015 (GMT)

Tau Ceti (talk) 22:29, 14 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Reason: To enhance content viewing on the wiki
 * Also can you add Tabber please? Tau Ceti (talk) 22:20, 16 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Enabling all requested extensions (#559 and #560). Wynter (talk) 07:17, 19 March 2015 (GMT)
 * DPLforum, Echo, Quiz, Tabber, and Thanks have been enabled (#559). Still waiting on the rest (#560). Wynter (talk) 15:41, 19 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Hello for some reason there is a 'database error' loading the wiki. Tau Ceti (talk) 08:52, 22 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Are you still having the error? On what page(s) does it happen? Wynter (talk) 17:00, 24 March 2015 (GMT)

Qumegalith (Status: Open)

 * Wiki: Qumegalith
 * Domain: qumegalith.orain.org
 * Extension/feature requests:

EDIT: Another feautre request, I would want the wiki to be readable by everyone, but editable only by registered and approved users. One-Eyed (talk) 20:18, 22 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Reason: We may want to include a handful of PDF documents in the future, which would contain information about systems and rulesets.
 * PDF uploads are now enabled. A meta admin will have to edit the Database list to change the wiki's name. When you say approved users, do you mean approved by local admins (like you)? Wynter (talk) 17:18, 24 March 2015 (GMT)

Yes, that's exactly what I've meant. We will have several registered editors at most, to whom I'd want to assign editing privileges personally. Given the nature of the community we come from, there may be a small risk of a spammer entering the place, I'd rather want to make sure that doesn't happen. Thanks. One-Eyed (talk) 19:05, 24 March 2015 (GMT)
 * OK, I've added a new group called "members". Only members and admins can edit the wiki. Admins can add or remove users from the members group. These changes are not done yet, but should be done soon (when pull request #571 is merged). Let us know if you have any further questions/requests. Wynter (talk) 05:28, 25 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Partially done, but there are still a few issues at the moment. (issue #579) Wynter (talk) 23:41, 4 April 2015 (BST)

 * Feature 3: Group for trusted members of the wiki called Trusted

FastmanEX (talk) 20:35, 2 May 2015 (BST)
 * Reason: Would make our site seem more polished and together, Thank you!
 * Favicon and logo are pending (#590). For the "Trusted" group, do you want to give the group members any additional rights? Or do you just want to use it for identification? Wynter (talk) 17:35, 4 May 2015 (BST)
 * The following is a list of permissions that Trusted had on the old wiki. I'd still wait for comment from first, and he can pick and choose from these (most are default).
 * Create discussion pages (createtalk)
 * Create pages (which are not discussion pages) (createpage)
 * Delete pages (delete)
 * Edit pages (edit)
 * Mark edits as minor (minoredit)

 * Upload files (upload)
 * Use of the write API (writeapi)
 * Cheers, NDKilla (talk) 20:25, 4 May 2015 (BST)
 * We'd like the group members to have all of the rights listed above, and for non-trusted members to not have these rights. We're fine with approving writers for the wiki, and delighted to be able to more regularly regulate what info comes in and out of our wiki. FastmanEX (talk) 03:35, 5 May 2015 (BST)
 * I don't know what you guys call the wiki type, but I believe wants anyone to be able to create an account, but untrusted users not be able to edit or move pages. (I'm assuming that new users and anons can have the "read" right, as this is supposed to be open help for the game. NDKilla (talk) 03:44, 5 May 2015 (BST)
