Cannot register new user
Some user reported that they are unable to register. I've tried to add user using admin pages and verified there is an error message "Unknown database 'ceidwiki' (10.131.209.107)". It has been verified by 4 users both in the UK, China and the US either from bus.orain.org or meta.orain.org. Could you please check that database server. Thanks. ww9980 (talk) 14:33, 23 March 2015 (GMT)

I'm experiencing the same problem on my own wiki as well, so it seems to be a global issue. Would be grateful if this could be resolved. One-Eyed (talk) 09:35, 24 March 2015 (GMT)
 * D u s t i *Let's talk!* 15:26, 24 March 2015 (GMT)
 * I believe the issue lies with the fact that the wiki is listed in the Database list as 'ceidwiki' while the wiki was created using database 'ceidwikiwiki'. I think someone needs to change the Database list to either be 'ceidwikiwiki' or rename the actual database to 'ceidwiki'. Here is the log entry for reference:  -- Joe G.

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)

 * You need the importer right, correct? Wynter (talk) 06:15, 7 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Yes. I need to importer. --MINT (talk) 08:58, 8 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Unfortunately, the stewards don't seem very active at the moment, so you might have to wait for some time... Wynter (talk) 20:32, 8 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Hey! How much stuff are you importing?  ·addshore·  talk to me! 23:18, 3 April 2015 (BST)
 * Uhm..325 pieces. --MINT (talk) 03:13, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * By pieces you mean pages? :)  ·addshore·  talk to me! 14:40, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Yes. Thanks. --MINT (talk) 00:51, 5 April 2015 (BST)
 * You now have the imported flag on gamewiki. Please let me know when your done!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 09:25, 5 April 2015 (BST)
 * Has been completed. Thanks. :D --MINT (talk) 10:11, 5 April 2015 (BST)

Login namuh.orain.org
Hi. I have notice a login problem. Users can't log in directly from namuh.orain.org, but if we log in from meta.orain.org, we are loged and can access to the wiki. How can this be solved? Thank you. --Namuras (talk) 09:55, 20 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Is this still an issue?  ·addshore·  talk to me! 23:09, 3 April 2015 (BST)
 * No, it's all right since the wiki became públic. Thanks. --217.217.37.35 00:53, 4 April 2015 (BST)

BlueNosy
Vandalism at allthetropeswiki. Was a test account of mine created to show ATT users what wiki vandals do, and was blocked by the community. So no longer needed. Tau Ceti (talk) 08:25, 22 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Hi! Which account and what would you like done to it?  ·addshore·  talk to me! 23:04, 3 April 2015 (BST)
 * That was a highly inappropriate action. This certainly crosses the line and I move to revoke GS from this user.68.232.116.250 03:39, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * GS was removed in a section below, I agree that this action was a bit odd and in future our testwiki should be used...  ·addshore·  talk to me! 14:39, 4 April 2015 (BST)

Many many redirects and an issue on this page
Hello! In an attempt to help Orain in any ways possible, I just fixed 2 double redirects, but I thought that someone might want to look at the entire meta layout instead of me doing this, as I'm not sure what's desired. Several noticeboards were apparently moved around and now SRP redirected to Steward requests/Permissions, so I fixed the double redirect, but now at the top of this page, If you want to request permissions, please visit the Steward requests page. links to a page that redirects back to this page. I wasn't sure if I should edit the notice at the top of this page. NDKilla (talk) 04:17, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Hi ! Thanks for the message. Yesterday I moved lots of pages around and merged many noticeboards / places for things to be requested into single noticeboards (to try and make meta a bit more usable). The Stewards, GS and Tech staff can be far more proactive if there are less places to look! It looks like you have been cleaning up after some of my changes! Thanks for that and feel free to fix / notify us of anything else you spot!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 14:38, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Welcome, . Could you by any chance hop on irc? im in #orain, #orain-feed, and #dusti :P NDKilla (talk) 14:57, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Sorry no can do right now! I should be on later (in 2 / 3 hours ish). Is it urgent?  ·addshore·  talk to me! 15:10, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Nah it's not urgent! I was just going to question a few more techie thing. I might move discussion to your talk page as I think you'd know the most about this, and I don't want to clutter the Stewards' Noticeboard. NDKilla (talk) 15:11, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Go for it!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 15:14, 4 April 2015 (BST)

Please revoke my GS...
I don't have time for Orain any more, so please revoke these rights. I have to say so here because the 'permissions' page redirects back here. Tau Ceti (talk) 09:32, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * ✅! Hope you dont totally vanish :)  ·addshore·  talk to me! 14:36, 4 April 2015 (BST)

Suppression request
I think it's safe to post here because I think only admins can see it anyways, but just incase I'm not posting a direct link. Can a steward go to the abuse log @ Iron Perfection and remove the two entries in the abuse log that have my IP address? The whole "blank page" on certain pages/actions is really annoying >< even tho the page doesn't load, and the action isn't performed, it still logs my IP. Also, on Google Chrome I keep getting logged out every few minutes... NDKilla (talk) 16:50, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * ✅ and for future everyone can see posts to this page! Where are you seeing blank pages? I am also experiencing the logging in / out issues :/  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:09, 4 April 2015 (BST)

Global/local account on private wikis
While editing my preferences on BGO Wiki I began looking into my global account info I then noticed that I had an account on Awesomeness wiki but it's set to private so I can't even view my own page. If my user page there actually exists, could it be deleted, and is there any way to delete my user account there as it serves no purpose?

Also in a minor note, on the wiki creation page it says the url for BGO wiki is bgowiki.orain.org but it's just bgo.orain.org. Cheers, NDKilla (talk) 18:01, 30 April 2015 (BST)

Restoring permissions
I think I have spare time for Orain, so I came back; Can I have my previous permissions (Administrator/WikiCreator on Meta and GS/GR) back?

If not, that's still OK. &mdash; ReviComplaint?  12:22, 2 May 2015 (BST)
 * Wiki creator is ✅. Southparkfan (talk) 14:56, 2 May 2015 (BST)
