== 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 />
<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 />
<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 />

:::::Done. As for AbuseFilter rights, that's because they somebody added them to our [http://shoutwiki.com/conf/highlight.php?file=GlobalSettings.php GlobalSettings.php] ages ago and because GlobalSettings.php is loaded for every wiki, the rights entries are there for every wiki too, no matter if AbuseFilter is enabled or not.

== 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|$wgHtml5]]</tt>. I disabled it on my [http://stargate.wikkii.net/wiki/index.php?title=Portal:Main_Page English Stargate Wiki] and all came back to normal. Is it possible please to set to "false" this parameter in all "my" wikis please? Thank you very much. Cheers. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 16:28, 3 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi LIMAFOX76, thanks for finding this out! I've been looking for the root cause of that issue for a while, but I had totally forgotten about HTML5...<br />
<br />
:I noticed that you can "fix" the issue with CSS, but admittedly it's not the best possible solution, given that editing MediaWiki: pages requires admin rights. Then again there's [[mw:Deprecating inline styles|been some discussion about deprecating inline styles]], but I for one hope it'll be a while before that makes into a release of MediaWiki.<br />
<br />
:I've set <code>$wgHtml5</code> to <code>false</code> for [[s:w:fr.24]], [[s:w:fr.eureka]], [[s:w:eureka]], [[s:w:fr.stargate]] and [[s:w:labible]].

How did you guys get Monaco? I have a wiki separate from ShoutWiki that I run test code on, and I would like to use a familiar interface on it rather than Vector or Monobook. Could you tell me how you guys did it? {{unsigned|17morgm}}<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.

<br />
Actually I don't want to build this wiki in future, but I would like to get the remains. :)<br />
<br />
zh.madoka.shoutwiki.com<br />
<br />
ps: I find this project http://archive.org/details/shoutwiki.com , but if you ask me, I think it's unnecessary to download whole 2.5 GB backup file to get the backup of my site.<br />
My site just include a few pages, so the backup may be small. It would be a good way to send me by email.<br />
<br />
<br />
BTW: On the Vector skin, the search buttons in index page and other non-special pages are invalid. They are covered by the ad banner. The CSS ''#column-google'' should be: ''padding-top: 0px; top: 85px;'' instead of ''padding-top: 35px; top: 50px;'' . {{unsigned|Summerking}}<br />
<br />
:The dumps hosted on Archive.org were originally created by and currently are maintained by a group known as ArchiveTeam. They are a third-party group that are not affiliated with ShoutWiki in any way. Hence we cannot guarantee anything regarding their dumps — but I've heard that they'd be of good quality, nevertheless.<br />

== Only allow signed in users to edit ==<br />
<br />
Jack, I've registered a wiki at http://bve.shoutwiki.com as a public wiki. It looks very good and we are almost ready to start it, we have one problem though. We do not want to allow people who are not signed in to edit. I've looked around the rights management special pages but couldn't find a way to do this. How can we achieve that? --[[User:Phontanka|Phontanka]] ([[User talk:Phontanka|talk]]) 19:37, 6 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There's no special page for managing these kind of things related to wiki configuration, yet anyway. This is somewhat of an architectural flaw in MediaWiki and the upstream developers are ''finally'' attempting to invest efforts into fixing this and making wiki configuration more flexible and modern. Some more info can be found at [[mw:Configuration management]]; I believe the original ETA for that was 2013 (Q1 or Q2, but I think we'll be lucky if we'll get it before Q1 2014).<br />
<br />
:Changing [[Help:User rights|user rights]] requires editing the wiki's settings file and as such, it's something only the staff can do at the moment (sadly). I've changed your wiki's configuration so that you need to be signed in to the wiki to edit, create new content or talk pages (you might also be interested in the [[mw:Manual:User rights#List of permissions|official MediaWiki manual detailing what each user right does]]); if this is not what you wanted or if you have any further requests or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.<br />

Hi Jack. I cannot use my preferred Bengali input method in my workspace at office. Only way is to install the input method in my wiki via a javascript. The javascript is already there: http://42.shoutwiki.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Unijoy.js Can you tell me how to use this in my wiki editor, and if possible also on other places of the wiki, i.e. on the search box etc. It would be really helpful. -- [[User:Muhammad2017|Muhammad2017]] ([[User talk:Muhammad2017|talk]]) 13:39, 19 December 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi Muhammad2017, I made a few small and insignificant style changes to the script. But to actually invoke the input method, you need to call <code>makeUnijoyEditor</code> for each text input (with the textarea's unique ID as the parameter to the function). For example:<br />
<br />
<source lang="javascript"><br />
makeUnijoyEditor( 'wpTextbox1' ); // main edit area on action=edit<br />
makeUnijoyEditor( 'wpSummary' ); // edit summary on action=edit<br />
makeUnijoyEditor( 'searchInput' ); // search box on all pages<br />

Could you clarify a bit more?- where should I call this function using these codes? in MediaWiki:Common.js? And what is the unique ID of the textarea of a certain page? Should I write the ID in place of 'wpTextbox1'? And yes, it would be very good if the system could be a bit more automatic, that is if you can spend some more time.

::Hi Panama2005, what's your wiki so that I can take a closer look at the issue(s)? Also, a good rule of thumb is to '''never, ever copy templates from Wikipedia!''' While you are free to do that from a legal standpoint &mdash; Wikimedia wikis, such as Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc. are licensed under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license, just like many ShoutWiki wikis &mdash; it's not wise to do that from a practical point of view; the English Wikipedia's templates are nothing but a big, horrible mess. Many things that they do with the templates could be done in a lot simpler and cleaner way (infoboxes, for example). --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 17:54, 28 December 2012 (UTC)<br />

Thanks a lot for your help with installing google analytics in my wiki! <br />

And also, would you mind removing the 'ShoutWiki is looking to hire three new interns!' caption?

== 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 />

<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 />

== The backup of my old wiki site ==<br />
<br />
Actually I don't want to build this wiki in future, but I would like to get the remains. :)<br />
<br />
zh.madoka.shoutwiki.com<br />
<br />
ps: I find this project http://archive.org/details/shoutwiki.com , but if you ask me, I think it's unnecessary to download whole 2.5 GB backup file to get the backup of my site.<br />
My site just include a few pages, so the backup may be small. It would be a good way to send me by email.<br />
<br />
<br />
BTW: On the Vector skin, the search buttons in index page and other non-special pages are invalid. They are covered by the ad banner. The CSS ''#column-google'' should be: ''padding-top: 0px; top: 85px;'' instead of ''padding-top: 35px; top: 50px;'' . {{unsigned|Summerking}}<br />
<br />
:The dumps hosted on Archive.org were originally created by and currently are maintained by a group known as ArchiveTeam. They are a third-party group that are not affiliated with ShoutWiki in any way.

We do not want to allow people who are not signed in to edit. I've looked around the rights management special pages but couldn't find a way to do this. How can we achieve that? --[[User:Phontanka|Phontanka]] ([[User talk:Phontanka|talk]]) 19:37, 6 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There's no special page for managing these kind of things related to wiki configuration, yet anyway. This is somewhat of an architectural flaw in MediaWiki and the upstream developers are ''finally'' attempting to invest efforts into fixing this and making wiki configuration more flexible and modern. Some more info can be found at [[mw:Configuration management]]; I believe the original ETA for that was 2013 (Q1 or Q2, but I think we'll be lucky if we'll get it before Q1 2014).<br />
<br />
:Changing [[Help:User rights|user rights]] requires editing the wiki's settings file and as such, it's something only the staff can do at the moment (sadly). I've changed your wiki's configuration so that you need to be signed in to the wiki to edit, create new content or talk pages (you might also be interested in the [[mw:Manual:User rights#List of permissions|official MediaWiki manual detailing what each user right does]]); if this is not what you wanted or if you have any further requests or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.<br />

The javascript is already there: http://42.shoutwiki.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Unijoy.js Can you tell me how to use this in my wiki editor, and if possible also on other places of the wiki, i.e. on the search box etc. It would be really helpful. -- [[User:Muhammad2017|Muhammad2017]] ([[User talk:Muhammad2017|talk]]) 13:39, 19 December 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi Muhammad2017, I made a few small and insignificant style changes to the script. But to actually invoke the input method, you need to call <code>makeUnijoyEditor</code> for each text input (with the textarea's unique ID as the parameter to the function). For example:<br />
<br />
<source lang="javascript"><br />
makeUnijoyEditor( 'wpTextbox1' ); // main edit area on action=edit<br />
makeUnijoyEditor( 'wpSummary' ); // edit summary on action=edit<br />
makeUnijoyEditor( 'searchInput' ); // search box on all pages<br />
</source><br />
<br />
:Note that the above example code isn't the best possible code sample out there, but you get the idea. If you need something a bit more automatic, let me know. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 20:54, 19 December 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Hi Jack, sorry that I am familiar neither with java nor with calling a java function in MediaWiki. Could you clarify a bit more?- where should I call this function using these codes? in MediaWiki:Common.js? And what is the unique ID of the textarea of a certain page? Should I write the ID in place of 'wpTextbox1'? And yes, it would be very good if the system could be a bit more automatic, that is if you can spend some more time. It would be really nice if after entering the editor of any page in that wiki I could activate or deactivate the unijoy editor by something on the wiki toolbar. And thanks for all the things you have done so far. :) -- [[User:Muhammad2017|Muhammad2017]] ([[User talk:Muhammad2017|talk]]) 00:00, 20 December 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I've added some code to [[s:w:42:MediaWiki:Common.js]], which should load the Unijoy parser for any and all &lt;input&gt; elements that have the type="text" attribute. Do note that the input elements also need to have an ID for Unijoy to be activated (it's a requirement of the Unijoy code, not something I made up). You may also need to purge your browser's cache for the changes to show up (CTRL + F5 on Internet Explorer/Mozilla Firefox should do this).<br />
<br />
:::Right now my code is loaded automagically for all users on all pages; if it's causing problems, please let me know as soon as possible! I didn't add a way to toggle it on/off yet, but I can take a look at that later on. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 17:54, 28 December 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::: Thanks for everything again. I still have no idea where to begin. Let's say I am creating a new page. After going to the editing window what should I do to write with this input method? I do not know how to begin. Tried many things but the input system can be found nowhere. Sorry for my ignorance. :) -- [[User:Muhammad2017|Muhammad2017]] ([[User talk:Muhammad2017|talk]]) 10:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Turns out that my code has some bugs &mdash; the main editing area (the element with the ID "wpTextbox1" is a textarea, as opposed to being an input with the type="text" attribute, hence it won't active on the main editing area right now. The JS gadget activates if your user language (which you can set via [[Special:Preferences]]) is the same as the wiki's content language (which is Bengali &mdash; language code <code>bn</code>).<br />
<br />
:::::I'll try to fine-tune and improve the code in the future to make it better and more usable, but sadly I cannot offer you a decent estimated time for arrival (ETA) right now. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 16:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)<br />

Hi Jack, Im new memeber and I having some trouble to render or parser the wikipedia Template infobox football team<br />

:Hi, you have to find any class infobox-related inside the Wikipedia [[wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css|Common.css]] page in order to retrieve the real shape of your infobox.

<br />
::Hi Panama2005, what's your wiki so that I can take a closer look at the issue(s)? Also, a good rule of thumb is to '''never, ever copy templates from Wikipedia!''' While you are free to do that from a legal standpoint &mdash; Wikimedia wikis, such as Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc. are licensed under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license, just like many ShoutWiki wikis &mdash; it's not wise to do that from a practical point of view; the English Wikipedia's templates are nothing but a big, horrible mess. Many things that they do with the templates could be done in a lot simpler and cleaner way (infoboxes, for example). --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 17:54, 28 December 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 />

* [[:fr:ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation|ShoutWiki Français:Conditions d'utilisation]]<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 />

== 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.

: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.

ps: I find this project http://archive.org/details/shoutwiki.com , but if you ask me, I think it's unnecessary to download whole 2.5 GB backup file to get the backup of my site.<br />
My site just include a few pages, so the backup may be small. It would be a good way to send me by email.<br />
<br />
<br />
BTW: On the Vector skin, the search buttons in index page and other non-special pages are invalid. They are covered by the ad banner. The CSS ''#column-google'' should be: ''padding-top: 0px; top: 85px;'' instead of ''padding-top: 35px; top: 50px;'' . {{unsigned|Summerking}}<br />

How can we achieve that? --[[User:Phontanka|Phontanka]] ([[User talk:Phontanka|talk]]) 19:37, 6 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There's no special page for managing these kind of things related to wiki configuration, yet anyway. This is somewhat of an architectural flaw in MediaWiki and the upstream developers are ''finally'' attempting to invest efforts into fixing this and making wiki configuration more flexible and modern. Some more info can be found at [[mw:Configuration management]]; I believe the original ETA for that was 2013 (Q1 or Q2, but I think we'll be lucky if we'll get it before Q1 2014).<br />
<br />
:Changing [[Help:User rights|user rights]] requires editing the wiki's settings file and as such, it's something only the staff can do at the moment (sadly). I've changed your wiki's configuration so that you need to be signed in to the wiki to edit, create new content or talk pages (you might also be interested in the [[mw:Manual:User rights#List of permissions|official MediaWiki manual detailing what each user right does]]); if this is not what you wanted or if you have any further requests or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.<br />

:If you have already created five (5) wikis, then you can't create any more wikis. Do note that maintaining even one, let alone five, successful wikis is a hard job and it requires a lot of time and dedication.

== 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 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 />

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>.

<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.

== The backup of my old wiki site ==<br />
<br />
Actually I don't want to build this wiki in future, but I would like to get the remains. :)<br />
<br />
zh.madoka.shoutwiki.com<br />
<br />
ps: I find this project http://archive.org/details/shoutwiki.com , but if you ask me, I think it's unnecessary to download whole 2.5 GB backup file to get the backup of my site.<br />
My site just include a few pages, so the backup may be small. It would be a good way to send me by email.<br />
<br />
<br />
BTW: On the Vector skin, the search buttons in index page and other non-special pages are invalid. They are covered by the ad banner. The CSS ''#column-google'' should be: ''padding-top: 0px; top: 85px;'' instead of ''padding-top: 35px; top: 50px;'' . {{unsigned|Summerking}}<br />
<br />
:The dumps hosted on Archive.org were originally created by and currently are maintained by a group known as ArchiveTeam. They are a third-party group that are not affiliated with ShoutWiki in any way. Hence we cannot guarantee anything regarding their dumps — but I've heard that they'd be of good quality, nevertheless.<br />

== Only allow signed in users to edit ==<br />

Jack, I've registered a wiki at http://bve.shoutwiki.com as a public wiki. It looks very good and we are almost ready to start it, we have one problem though. We do not want to allow people who are not signed in to edit. I've looked around the rights management special pages but couldn't find a way to do this. How can we achieve that? --[[User:Phontanka|Phontanka]] ([[User talk:Phontanka|talk]]) 19:37, 6 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There's no special page for managing these kind of things related to wiki configuration, yet anyway. This is somewhat of an architectural flaw in MediaWiki and the upstream developers are ''finally'' attempting to invest efforts into fixing this and making wiki configuration more flexible and modern. Some more info can be found at [[mw:Configuration management]]; I believe the original ETA for that was 2013 (Q1 or Q2, but I think we'll be lucky if we'll get it before Q1 2014).<br />
<br />
:Changing [[Help:User rights|user rights]] requires editing the wiki's settings file and as such, it's something only the staff can do at the moment (sadly). I've changed your wiki's configuration so that you need to be signed in to the wiki to edit, create new content or talk pages (you might also be interested in the [[mw:Manual:User rights#List of permissions|official MediaWiki manual detailing what each user right does]]); if this is not what you wanted or if you have any further requests or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.<br />

On the wiki directory, there are a lot of wikis that are broken.

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 />

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 />

: 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 />

: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.

ps: I find this project http://archive.org/details/shoutwiki.com , but if you ask me, I think it's unnecessary to download whole 2.5 GB backup file to get the backup of my site.<br />
My site just include a few pages, so the backup may be small. It would be a good way to send me by email.<br />
<br />
<br />
BTW: On the Vector skin, the search buttons in index page and other non-special pages are invalid. They are covered by the ad banner. The CSS ''#column-google'' should be: ''padding-top: 0px; top: 85px;'' instead of ''padding-top: 35px; top: 50px;'' . {{unsigned|Summerking}}<br />

:The dumps hosted on Archive.org were originally created by and currently are maintained by a group known as ArchiveTeam.

<br />
:::I've added InstantCommons to [[s:w:wt]], but the interwiki [[Help:User rights|user right]], which allows modifying [[Help:Interwiki links|interwiki links]] and [[Help:Interlanguage links|interlanguage links]] via [[Special:Interwiki]], is currently not granted to non-staff users due to the way our interwiki and interlanguage links are set up.<br />Simply put, inter'''wikis''' are global (=shared between ''all'' ShoutWiki wikis) and thus we don't want anyone to be able to touch those; inter'''language''' links, on the other hand, are specific to a given wiki and we may grant admins the ability to modify them at a later date if there is sufficient demand for that.<br />
<br />
:::For the time being, please contact me or another [[Customer Support Team]] member via the usual channels for all your interwiki and interlanguage links related questions, suggestions, issues, etc. and do keep in mind that in most cases you don't even need an interwiki link, you can just use a template: <code><nowiki>{{foo|Some page name|alternate link title}}</nowiki></code> and then the actual template would contain code like <code><nowiki><span class="plainlinks">[http://foo.example.com/wiki/{{urlencode:{{{1}}}|WIKI}} {{{2|{{{1}}}}}}]</nowiki></code>. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 16:59, 9 November 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Only allow signed in users to edit ==<br />
<br />
Jack, I've registered a wiki at http://bve.shoutwiki.com as a public wiki. It looks very good and we are almost ready to start it, we have one problem though. We do not want to allow people who are not signed in to edit. I've looked around the rights management special pages but couldn't find a way to do this. How can we achieve that? --[[User:Phontanka|Phontanka]] ([[User talk:Phontanka|talk]]) 19:37, 6 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There's no special page for managing these kind of things related to wiki configuration, yet anyway. This is somewhat of an architectural flaw in MediaWiki and the upstream developers are ''finally'' attempting to invest efforts into fixing this and making wiki configuration more flexible and modern. Some more info can be found at [[mw:Configuration management]]; I believe the original ETA for that was 2013 (Q1 or Q2, but I think we'll be lucky if we'll get it before Q1 2014).<br />
<br />
:Changing [[Help:User rights|user rights]] requires editing the wiki's settings file and as such, it's something only the staff can do at the moment (sadly). I've changed your wiki's configuration so that you need to be signed in to the wiki to edit, create new content or talk pages (you might also be interested in the [[mw:Manual:User rights#List of permissions|official MediaWiki manual detailing what each user right does]]); if this is not what you wanted or if you have any further requests or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.<br />
<br />
:Happy editing! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <staff/> <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|contact]])</sub> 21:23, 6 November 2012 (UTC)<br />

::Jack, thank you very much for your timely response! Now it works the way we want it. --[[User:Phontanka|Phontanka]] ([[User talk:Phontanka|talk]]) 18:32, 7 November 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Adding access to Commons 2. ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack Phoenix, could you please enable InstantCommons also on this wiki: http://gartenbuch.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Hauptseite. Thanks a lot. --[[User:Medea|Medea]] ([[User talk:Medea|talk]]) 12:01, 12 November 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Embedding Prezi ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jack,<br />
<br />
How do I embed a prezi in my shoutwiki page?<br />
I tried to follow several online tutorials, but that didn't work.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot.<br />
<br />
btw, check out my AnthroDef.shoutwii.com, maybe you have some suggestions.<br />
<br />
Thanks</div>Benbelek
