== Hub admin ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack. If there's ever a need for another hub admin, I'd be more than happy to do it. --[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 18:53, 2 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24 ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack,<br/>I have SQL issues on both Eureka wikis. Here are the messages I have (apparently the sames):<br />
{|<br />
| [[File:English Eureka wiki bug.jpg|550px]]<br />
| [[File:French Eureka wiki bug.jpg|550px]]<br />
|}<br />
Also There is still "0" article on [[s:w:fr.24]] but I wrote some (at least 10 and many of them on the main namespace). Thank you for your answer. Best Regards. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 16:30, 4 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

:Fixed, fixed and fixed. Let me know if you stumble upon similar/the same issue(s) in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 16:56, 4 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

::::I think it doesn't matter really as there was no one after Escyos who cared about it but me, but since your unfortunate crash, I created a new one with the French on Wikkii.net from scratch (installation of MediaWiki on a domain and all other stuff, good exercise for me by the way). So both wikis are growing up slowly but surely. So I leave it to you and the staff to decide if it has to be restored or not. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 20:09, 4 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== AWA Wikisite ==<br />

Hi Jack, <br />
<br />
:I've noticed that the anti-wikia-alliance wiki is having technical difficulties, is there a reason for this or has the site moved to a new server? The website isn't showing on my browser. [[User:Darkstar|Darkstar]] ([[User talk:Darkstar|talk]]) 17:33, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::Hi, the wiki hasn't been reimported here yet. Wikis will be reimported by request only as we don't want lots of inactive wikis. Although, to the best of my knowledge, the AWA wiki has moved to another host. However, if you want the AWA wiki reimported to ShoutWiki, just say and we can do so for you at some point. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ <staff /> 17:39, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Hubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack. What happened to the Chinese, Dutch, and Polish hubs? They don't seem to work. Also, are there any plans for a German hub? The German Wikipedia is the second largest Wikipedia, so it might be a good idea to create one... --[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 18:24, 7 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:They're on our list of wikis to reimport; [[User:Lcawte|Lcawte]]'s been working on imports today.<br />
<br />
:As for Hubs, they are created as (native) spekers of the language appear. Ich kann nicht sprechen Deutsch and to my knowledge, we don't have any fluent speakers of German in our staff either, so we're waiting for someone else to create it. I recall we had a German Starter wiki at some point, though, so that'll be reimported in the near future, along with the Hubs you mentioned. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 18:36, 7 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Wiki reimports ==<br />
<br />
It appears you've founded at least two wikis, related to [[Tintin]] and [[Inheritance]]. In case that you forget, I suggest you remember to import them if you want to. {{User:Will k/sig}} 05:13, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thank you for your attention, Will, but I keep a very up-to-date list of the wikis I'm actively involved with. :-) Tintin and Inheritance wikis weren't exactly "created" by me; true, I created the databases via CreateWiki but that's it. The reason why I did that was because those two wikis moved from ShoutWiki to another host. While I think the subjects are very fascinating, I'm not an expert on those, sadly, and therefore I can't really contribute much to the wikis in question.<br />
<br />
:If memory serves me correct, Inheritance wiki is [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:SnakeQ|SnakeQ]]'s project. I can't remember who was involved with the Tintin wiki, however; maybe [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:LRP;840|LRP;840]] knows/remembers better than I. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:24, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Updating links about Privacy policy and Terms of use on the French Hub ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack,<br/>Is it possible please to update the "Politique de confidentialité" (''Privacy policy'') and "Conditions d'utilisation" (''Terms of use'') links on the French hub bottom pages with the following links respectively<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité|ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité]]<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<br />
I wrote in those policies that the English version prevails but I think it's better for French-speaking people to see a French version when you hit the link. Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 07:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi LIMAFOX76, I've created [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage/fr]] and [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Privacypage/fr]] on our [[s:w:mwmsg|Interface Messages Wiki]] (the wiki controlling default translations); now all the ToU/PP links on page footers on French wikis should link to the French version of the ToU and PP.<br />
<br />
:If you want administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki to do translation work and other associated maintenance tasks, such as updating links and whatnot, I'd be more than happy to give you them. :-) Again, thank you for your hard work on building the French-language ShoutWiki community, it's greatly appreciated! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::You're welcome. I was sad to see all the three SW outages, but I'm glad to see you're back and well back. I know you will loose the French Stargate Wiki, but I chose this way as I can control almost everything (with the exception of PHP and mySQL) and it's a good way to progress in MediaWiki stuff. Nevertheless, I still support SW. I'll be glad to contribute on the Interface Message Wiki, but you'll have to help me on what to do (I suppose we have to add <tt>/fr</tt> on the Default Message text in the MediaWiki namespace to see a French translation on French designed wikis). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 19:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member.<br />
:::All that being said, I've now given you administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki. Enjoy! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 11:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::::Thank you very much for granting me admin rights on "mwmsg". For the record, Stargate Wiki is the only wiki I keep like this. As you may already see, I was attacked by an "Australian" guy who harrassed me for over a year (when you were in blackout), attempting to shut this wiki down by all means but he calmed down for now. The others wikis I maintain (not a lot for now) will remain on SW, I don't want to move them elswhere. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 12:18, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Small bug about centering with $mwhtml5 ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack<br/>I see a small bug since you passed all the wikis in release 1.19.1. The portal cells are not centered anymore even with <tt>align="center"</tt>. I read that it is caused by the activation by default of the parameter <tt>[[mw:Manual:$wgHtml5|$wgHtml5]]</tt>. I disabled it on my [http://stargate.wikkii.net/wiki/index.php?title=Portal:Main_Page English Stargate Wiki] and all came back to normal. Is it possible please to set to "false" this parameter in all "my" wikis please? Thank you very much. Cheers. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 16:28, 3 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi LIMAFOX76, thanks for finding this out! I've been looking for the root cause of that issue for a while, but I had totally forgotten about HTML5...<br />
<br />
:I noticed that you can "fix" the issue with CSS, but admittedly it's not the best possible solution, given that editing MediaWiki: pages requires admin rights. Then again there's [[mw:Deprecating inline styles|been some discussion about deprecating inline styles]], but I for one hope it'll be a while before that makes into a release of MediaWiki.<br />
<br />

: We fixed Wikia's version of Monaco, which is in their SVN because their code often doesn't work out of the box with vanilla MediaWiki, and since its unsupported its more than likely not going to work with 1.19 either. --[[User:Lcawte|Lewis Cawte]] <staff /> ([[User talk:Lcawte|talk]]) 18:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:WikiFactory is a complicated MediaWiki extension written by and for Wikia. I can guarantee you that without extensive knowledge of MediaWiki's internals, you can't get it working. I don't see why you would need WikiFactory, but there are better alternatives out there which require no hacking whatsoever.

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:Thank you for your attention, Will, but I keep a very up-to-date list of the wikis I'm actively involved with. :-) Tintin and Inheritance wikis weren't exactly "created" by me; true, I created the databases via CreateWiki but that's it. The reason why I did that was because those two wikis moved from ShoutWiki to another host. While I think the subjects are very fascinating, I'm not an expert on those, sadly, and therefore I can't really contribute much to the wikis in question.<br />
<br />
:If memory serves me correct, Inheritance wiki is [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:SnakeQ|SnakeQ]]'s project.

Hi Jack,<br/>Is it possible please to update the "Politique de confidentialité" (''Privacy policy'') and "Conditions d'utilisation" (''Terms of use'') links on the French hub bottom pages with the following links respectively<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité|ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité]]<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<br />
I wrote in those policies that the English version prevails but I think it's better for French-speaking people to see a French version when you hit the link. Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 07:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

:Hi LIMAFOX76, I've created [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage/fr]] and [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Privacypage/fr]] on our [[s:w:mwmsg|Interface Messages Wiki]] (the wiki controlling default translations); now all the ToU/PP links on page footers on French wikis should link to the French version of the ToU and PP.<br />
<br />
:If you want administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki to do translation work and other associated maintenance tasks, such as updating links and whatnot, I'd be more than happy to give you them. :-) Again, thank you for your hard work on building the French-language ShoutWiki community, it's greatly appreciated! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

Nevertheless, I still support SW. I'll be glad to contribute on the Interface Message Wiki, but you'll have to help me on what to do (I suppose we have to add <tt>/fr</tt> on the Default Message text in the MediaWiki namespace to see a French translation on French designed wikis). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 19:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member.<br />
:::All that being said, I've now given you administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki. Enjoy! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 11:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

:I believe there was some confusion about parameter names; there is no "number" parameter to the &lt;rss&gt; tag, but rather a "max" parameter.

<br />
: We fixed Wikia's version of Monaco, which is in their SVN because their code often doesn't work out of the box with vanilla MediaWiki, and since its unsupported its more than likely not going to work with 1.19 either. --[[User:Lcawte|Lewis Cawte]] <staff /> ([[User talk:Lcawte|talk]]) 18:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:WikiFactory is a complicated MediaWiki extension written by and for Wikia. I can guarantee you that without extensive knowledge of MediaWiki's internals, you can't get it working. I don't see why you would need WikiFactory, but there are better alternatives out there which require no hacking whatsoever.

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:Thank you for your attention, Will, but I keep a very up-to-date list of the wikis I'm actively involved with. :-) Tintin and Inheritance wikis weren't exactly "created" by me; true, I created the databases via CreateWiki but that's it. The reason why I did that was because those two wikis moved from ShoutWiki to another host. While I think the subjects are very fascinating, I'm not an expert on those, sadly, and therefore I can't really contribute much to the wikis in question.<br />

* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<br />
I wrote in those policies that the English version prevails but I think it's better for French-speaking people to see a French version when you hit the link. Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 07:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:If you want administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki to do translation work and other associated maintenance tasks, such as updating links and whatnot, I'd be more than happy to give you them. :-) Again, thank you for your hard work on building the French-language ShoutWiki community, it's greatly appreciated! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

Nevertheless, I still support SW.

:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member.<br />
:::All that being said, I've now given you administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki. Enjoy! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 11:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

:Thank you for your attention, Will, but I keep a very up-to-date list of the wikis I'm actively involved with. :-) Tintin and Inheritance wikis weren't exactly "created" by me; true, I created the databases via CreateWiki but that's it. The reason why I did that was because those two wikis moved from ShoutWiki to another host. While I think the subjects are very fascinating, I'm not an expert on those, sadly, and therefore I can't really contribute much to the wikis in question.<br />

* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<br />
I wrote in those policies that the English version prevails but I think it's better for French-speaking people to see a French version when you hit the link. Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 07:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:If you want administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki to do translation work and other associated maintenance tasks, such as updating links and whatnot, I'd be more than happy to give you them. :-) Again, thank you for your hard work on building the French-language ShoutWiki community, it's greatly appreciated! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

Nevertheless, I still support SW. I'll be glad to contribute on the Interface Message Wiki, but you'll have to help me on what to do (I suppose we have to add <tt>/fr</tt> on the Default Message text in the MediaWiki namespace to see a French translation on French designed wikis). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 19:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member.<br />
:::All that being said, I've now given you administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki. Enjoy! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 11:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

Hi Jack. What happened to the Chinese, Dutch, and Polish hubs? They don't seem to work. Also, are there any plans for a German hub?

<br />
:They're on our list of wikis to reimport; [[User:Lcawte|Lcawte]]'s been working on imports today.<br />
<br />
:As for Hubs, they are created as (native) spekers of the language appear. Ich kann nicht sprechen Deutsch and to my knowledge, we don't have any fluent speakers of German in our staff either, so we're waiting for someone else to create it. I recall we had a German Starter wiki at some point, though, so that'll be reimported in the near future, along with the Hubs you mentioned. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 18:36, 7 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Wiki reimports ==<br />

It appears you've founded at least two wikis, related to [[Tintin]] and [[Inheritance]]. In case that you forget, I suggest you remember to import them if you want to. {{User:Will k/sig}} 05:13, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thank you for your attention, Will, but I keep a very up-to-date list of the wikis I'm actively involved with. :-) Tintin and Inheritance wikis weren't exactly "created" by me; true, I created the databases via CreateWiki but that's it. The reason why I did that was because those two wikis moved from ShoutWiki to another host. While I think the subjects are very fascinating, I'm not an expert on those, sadly, and therefore I can't really contribute much to the wikis in question.<br />
<br />
:If memory serves me correct, Inheritance wiki is [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:SnakeQ|SnakeQ]]'s project. I can't remember who was involved with the Tintin wiki, however; maybe [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:LRP;840|LRP;840]] knows/remembers better than I. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:24, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Updating links about Privacy policy and Terms of use on the French Hub ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack,<br/>Is it possible please to update the "Politique de confidentialité" (''Privacy policy'') and "Conditions d'utilisation" (''Terms of use'') links on the French hub bottom pages with the following links respectively<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité|ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité]]<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<br />
I wrote in those policies that the English version prevails but I think it's better for French-speaking people to see a French version when you hit the link. Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 07:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi LIMAFOX76, I've created [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage/fr]] and [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Privacypage/fr]] on our [[s:w:mwmsg|Interface Messages Wiki]] (the wiki controlling default translations); now all the ToU/PP links on page footers on French wikis should link to the French version of the ToU and PP.<br />
<br />
:If you want administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki to do translation work and other associated maintenance tasks, such as updating links and whatnot, I'd be more than happy to give you them. :-) Again, thank you for your hard work on building the French-language ShoutWiki community, it's greatly appreciated! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::You're welcome. I was sad to see all the three SW outages, but I'm glad to see you're back and well back. I know you will loose the French Stargate Wiki, but I chose this way as I can control almost everything (with the exception of PHP and mySQL) and it's a good way to progress in MediaWiki stuff. Nevertheless, I still support SW. I'll be glad to contribute on the Interface Message Wiki, but you'll have to help me on what to do (I suppose we have to add <tt>/fr</tt> on the Default Message text in the MediaWiki namespace to see a French translation on French designed wikis). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 19:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member.<br />
:::All that being said, I've now given you administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki. Enjoy! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 11:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::::Thank you very much for granting me admin rights on "mwmsg". For the record, Stargate Wiki is the only wiki I keep like this.

Hi Jack<br/>I see a small bug since you passed all the wikis in release 1.19.1. The portal cells are not centered anymore even with <tt>align="center"</tt>.

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

Hi Jack. What happened to the Chinese, Dutch, and Polish hubs? They don't seem to work. Also, are there any plans for a German hub? The German Wikipedia is the second largest Wikipedia, so it might be a good idea to create one... --[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 18:24, 7 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:They're on our list of wikis to reimport; [[User:Lcawte|Lcawte]]'s been working on imports today.<br />
<br />
:As for Hubs, they are created as (native) spekers of the language appear. Ich kann nicht sprechen Deutsch and to my knowledge, we don't have any fluent speakers of German in our staff either, so we're waiting for someone else to create it. I recall we had a German Starter wiki at some point, though, so that'll be reimported in the near future, along with the Hubs you mentioned. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 18:36, 7 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Wiki reimports ==<br />
<br />
It appears you've founded at least two wikis, related to [[Tintin]] and [[Inheritance]]. In case that you forget, I suggest you remember to import them if you want to. {{User:Will k/sig}} 05:13, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thank you for your attention, Will, but I keep a very up-to-date list of the wikis I'm actively involved with. :-) Tintin and Inheritance wikis weren't exactly "created" by me; true, I created the databases via CreateWiki but that's it. The reason why I did that was because those two wikis moved from ShoutWiki to another host. While I think the subjects are very fascinating, I'm not an expert on those, sadly, and therefore I can't really contribute much to the wikis in question.<br />
<br />
:If memory serves me correct, Inheritance wiki is [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:SnakeQ|SnakeQ]]'s project. I can't remember who was involved with the Tintin wiki, however; maybe [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:LRP;840|LRP;840]] knows/remembers better than I. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:24, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Updating links about Privacy policy and Terms of use on the French Hub ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack,<br/>Is it possible please to update the "Politique de confidentialité" (''Privacy policy'') and "Conditions d'utilisation" (''Terms of use'') links on the French hub bottom pages with the following links respectively<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité|ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité]]<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<br />
I wrote in those policies that the English version prevails but I think it's better for French-speaking people to see a French version when you hit the link. Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 07:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi LIMAFOX76, I've created [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage/fr]] and [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Privacypage/fr]] on our [[s:w:mwmsg|Interface Messages Wiki]] (the wiki controlling default translations); now all the ToU/PP links on page footers on French wikis should link to the French version of the ToU and PP.<br />
<br />
:If you want administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki to do translation work and other associated maintenance tasks, such as updating links and whatnot, I'd be more than happy to give you them. :-) Again, thank you for your hard work on building the French-language ShoutWiki community, it's greatly appreciated! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::You're welcome. I was sad to see all the three SW outages, but I'm glad to see you're back and well back. I know you will loose the French Stargate Wiki, but I chose this way as I can control almost everything (with the exception of PHP and mySQL) and it's a good way to progress in MediaWiki stuff. Nevertheless, I still support SW. I'll be glad to contribute on the Interface Message Wiki, but you'll have to help me on what to do (I suppose we have to add <tt>/fr</tt> on the Default Message text in the MediaWiki namespace to see a French translation on French designed wikis). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 19:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member.<br />
:::All that being said, I've now given you administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki. Enjoy! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 11:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::::Thank you very much for granting me admin rights on "mwmsg". For the record, Stargate Wiki is the only wiki I keep like this. As you may already see, I was attacked by an "Australian" guy who harrassed me for over a year (when you were in blackout), attempting to shut this wiki down by all means but he calmed down for now.

== Small bug about centering with $mwhtml5 ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack<br/>I see a small bug since you passed all the wikis in release 1.19.1. The portal cells are not centered anymore even with <tt>align="center"</tt>. I read that it is caused by the activation by default of the parameter <tt>[[mw:Manual:$wgHtml5|$wgHtml5]]</tt>. I disabled it on my [http://stargate.wikkii.net/wiki/index.php?title=Portal:Main_Page English Stargate Wiki] and all came back to normal. Is it possible please to set to "false" this parameter in all "my" wikis please? Thank you very much.

:Hi LIMAFOX76, thanks for finding this out! I've been looking for the root cause of that issue for a while, but I had totally forgotten about HTML5...<br />
<br />
:I noticed that you can "fix" the issue with CSS, but admittedly it's not the best possible solution, given that editing MediaWiki: pages requires admin rights. Then again there's [[mw:Deprecating inline styles|been some discussion about deprecating inline styles]], but I for one hope it'll be a while before that makes into a release of MediaWiki.<br />

It appears you've founded at least two wikis, related to [[Tintin]] and [[Inheritance]]. In case that you forget, I suggest you remember to import them if you want to. {{User:Will k/sig}} 05:13, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thank you for your attention, Will, but I keep a very up-to-date list of the wikis I'm actively involved with. :-) Tintin and Inheritance wikis weren't exactly "created" by me; true, I created the databases via CreateWiki but that's it. The reason why I did that was because those two wikis moved from ShoutWiki to another host. While I think the subjects are very fascinating, I'm not an expert on those, sadly, and therefore I can't really contribute much to the wikis in question.<br />
<br />
:If memory serves me correct, Inheritance wiki is [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:SnakeQ|SnakeQ]]'s project. I can't remember who was involved with the Tintin wiki, however; maybe [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:LRP;840|LRP;840]] knows/remembers better than I. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:24, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Updating links about Privacy policy and Terms of use on the French Hub ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack,<br/>Is it possible please to update the "Politique de confidentialité" (''Privacy policy'') and "Conditions d'utilisation" (''Terms of use'') links on the French hub bottom pages with the following links respectively<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité|ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité]]<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<br />
I wrote in those policies that the English version prevails but I think it's better for French-speaking people to see a French version when you hit the link. Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 07:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi LIMAFOX76, I've created [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage/fr]] and [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Privacypage/fr]] on our [[s:w:mwmsg|Interface Messages Wiki]] (the wiki controlling default translations); now all the ToU/PP links on page footers on French wikis should link to the French version of the ToU and PP.<br />
<br />
:If you want administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki to do translation work and other associated maintenance tasks, such as updating links and whatnot, I'd be more than happy to give you them. :-) Again, thank you for your hard work on building the French-language ShoutWiki community, it's greatly appreciated! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::You're welcome. I was sad to see all the three SW outages, but I'm glad to see you're back and well back. I know you will loose the French Stargate Wiki, but I chose this way as I can control almost everything (with the exception of PHP and mySQL) and it's a good way to progress in MediaWiki stuff. Nevertheless, I still support SW. I'll be glad to contribute on the Interface Message Wiki, but you'll have to help me on what to do (I suppose we have to add <tt>/fr</tt> on the Default Message text in the MediaWiki namespace to see a French translation on French designed wikis). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 19:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member.<br />
:::All that being said, I've now given you administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki. Enjoy! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 11:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::::Thank you very much for granting me admin rights on "mwmsg". For the record, Stargate Wiki is the only wiki I keep like this.

== Small bug about centering with $mwhtml5 ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack<br/>I see a small bug since you passed all the wikis in release 1.19.1. The portal cells are not centered anymore even with <tt>align="center"</tt>. I read that it is caused by the activation by default of the parameter <tt>[[mw:Manual:$wgHtml5|$wgHtml5]]</tt>. I disabled it on my [http://stargate.wikkii.net/wiki/index.php?title=Portal:Main_Page English Stargate Wiki] and all came back to normal. Is it possible please to set to "false" this parameter in all "my" wikis please? Thank you very much.

<br />
:I noticed that you can "fix" the issue with CSS, but admittedly it's not the best possible solution, given that editing MediaWiki: pages requires admin rights. Then again there's [[mw:Deprecating inline styles|been some discussion about deprecating inline styles]], but I for one hope it'll be a while before that makes into a release of MediaWiki.<br />

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Wiki reimports ==<br />

It appears you've founded at least two wikis, related to [[Tintin]] and [[Inheritance]]. In case that you forget, I suggest you remember to import them if you want to. {{User:Will k/sig}} 05:13, 9 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thank you for your attention, Will, but I keep a very up-to-date list of the wikis I'm actively involved with. :-) Tintin and Inheritance wikis weren't exactly "created" by me; true, I created the databases via CreateWiki but that's it. The reason why I did that was because those two wikis moved from ShoutWiki to another host. While I think the subjects are very fascinating, I'm not an expert on those, sadly, and therefore I can't really contribute much to the wikis in question.<br />
<br />
:If memory serves me correct, Inheritance wiki is [[s:w:fi.starwars:Käyttäjä:SnakeQ|SnakeQ]]'s project.

Hi Jack,<br/>Is it possible please to update the "Politique de confidentialité" (''Privacy policy'') and "Conditions d'utilisation" (''Terms of use'') links on the French hub bottom pages with the following links respectively<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité|ShoutWiki Français:Politique de confidentialité]]<br />
* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<br />
I wrote in those policies that the English version prevails but I think it's better for French-speaking people to see a French version when you hit the link. Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 07:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi LIMAFOX76, I've created [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage/fr]] and [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Privacypage/fr]] on our [[s:w:mwmsg|Interface Messages Wiki]] (the wiki controlling default translations); now all the ToU/PP links on page footers on French wikis should link to the French version of the ToU and PP.<br />
<br />
:If you want administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki to do translation work and other associated maintenance tasks, such as updating links and whatnot, I'd be more than happy to give you them. :-) Again, thank you for your hard work on building the French-language ShoutWiki community, it's greatly appreciated! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 15:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
::You're welcome. I was sad to see all the three SW outages, but I'm glad to see you're back and well back. I know you will loose the French Stargate Wiki, but I chose this way as I can control almost everything (with the exception of PHP and mySQL) and it's a good way to progress in MediaWiki stuff. Nevertheless, I still support SW. I'll be glad to contribute on the Interface Message Wiki, but you'll have to help me on what to do (I suppose we have to add <tt>/fr</tt> on the Default Message text in the MediaWiki namespace to see a French translation on French designed wikis). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 19:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member.<br />
:::All that being said, I've now given you administrator rights on the Interface Messages Wiki. Enjoy! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 11:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Small bug about centering with $mwhtml5 ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack<br/>I see a small bug since you passed all the wikis in release 1.19.1. The portal cells are not centered anymore even with <tt>align="center"</tt>. I read that it is caused by the activation by default of the parameter <tt>[[mw:Manual:$wgHtml5|$wgHtml5]]</tt>. I disabled it on my [http://stargate.wikkii.net/wiki/index.php?title=Portal:Main_Page English Stargate Wiki] and all came back to normal.

<br />
:I noticed that you can "fix" the issue with CSS, but admittedly it's not the best possible solution, given that editing MediaWiki: pages requires admin rights. Then again there's [[mw:Deprecating inline styles|been some discussion about deprecating inline styles]], but I for one hope it'll be a while before that makes into a release of MediaWiki.<br />

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

:::It is, of course, very saddening to see wikis move from ShoutWiki, but should these wikis ever decide to come back, we're more than happy to host them!<br />
:::It's also great to hear that you're interested in the magic that happens in the backend, i.e. how PHP and MySQL interact. Feel free to request [[mw:Developer access|developer access]] to the MediaWiki git repository whenever you're ready <s>to join the Dark Side</s>. ;-)<br />
:::As for the Interface Messages Wiki, it works pretty much like any other MediaWiki wiki where the default language is English. To edit non-English messages, you have to append the language code to the page title. For example, the language code for Finnish is fi; therefore the Finnish translation of [[MediaWiki:Contactpage]] is located at [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Contactpage/fi]].<br />
:::Editing a message that does '''not''' have any language code in it whatsoever overrides the translation for '''all languages'''. For example, if I wanted to change the "About <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki>" message shown on the page footer in the Monobook skin (and a few other skins, too) for all languages, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]; but if I only wanted to change the English (en) translation without overriding any other translations, I would edit [[s:w:mwmsg:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/en]].<br />
:::[[s:w:mwmsg:Special:AllPages|Message documentation]] is available for certain features in the Interface Messages Wiki's main namespace; you can also use <code>?uselang=qqx</code> in the URL to see what system messages a page uses. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a very handy tool for translators. You might want to see [[mw:Nimbus skin#Internationalization|this MediaWiki.org page]] for a couple screenshots of the uselang=qqx feature.<br />
:::Finally, I realize that this process isn't very well documented. It's also true that not all internationalization messages are well documented and some aren't documented at all.

<br />
Hi Jack<br/>I see a small bug since you passed all the wikis in release 1.19.1. The portal cells are not centered anymore even with <tt>align="center"</tt>.

I disabled it on my [http://stargate.wikkii.net/wiki/index.php?title=Portal:Main_Page English Stargate Wiki] and all came back to normal.

== Wiki directory ==<br />
<br />
On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken. It could be frustrating for users trying to find wikis they are interested in if half the links lead to a wiki that's currently not working. Maybe there should be a new category for wikis that aren't serviceable at the moment, so the broken wikis can be distinguished from the working ones.--[[User:Hockeyben|Hockeyben]] ([[User talk:Hockeyben|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right. The problem here is that all of those wikis that are currently broken existed at some point. Some have moved their wikis to a different host (such as LIMAFOX76 and his Stargate wikis; see [[#Issues on Eureka wikis and a small one on fr.24|above]]), whereas some want their wiki reimported to ShoutWiki. Once we'll know for sure which wikis are coming back and which aren't, then we can delete the appropriate description pages on ShoutWiki Hub and free the subdomains so that they can be used again in the future. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 12:54, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
