Welcome to '''Orain'''! I want to start a thread outlining Wiki Rules. |
|||
Hello, |
|||
Obviously, there's going to be some guidelines that each wiki will need to follow, such as: |
|||
I am using subpages to simulate a multilingual wiki. I would like to provide links from subpages to the main page. |
|||
Eg. hello/de and hello/it will have a link to hello. |
|||
:* Absolutely no attack wiki's will be tolerated. This includes wiki's created to disparge, attack, humiliate, harass, or otherwise cause harm to an individual, corporation, organization, etc. |
|||
::* With that being said, it's obvious that we will not censor wiki's. Personal opinions are allowed, and as such, you're free to have whatever content you wish to have - within reason. Obviously, threats made against others, attacks, etc. won't go unnoticed. |
|||
:* Dormancy. At what time will a wiki be considered dormant? How should that be handled? Should there be a timeline? What if someone else wants to revive the wiki? What process should be followed? |
|||
I seem to get the same result for <nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> in my subpages. |
|||

:Hi! The list of namespaces that have subpages enabled are set in the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages $wgNamespacesWithSubpages] config variable. Our currently deployed settings can be found on github specifically [https://github.com/Orain/ansible-playbook/blob/master/roles/mediawiki/files/localsettings/LocalSettings.php.j2#L907 here]. bibbia2000 wiki currently has the defaults for this setting, the default can be seen [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages#Default_value here], so most namespaces have subpages enabled!

I don't see too many wiki farms survive longterm without sustainable finances. That usually means ads or deep pockets. Otherwise, the regular staff person or persons burns out over the years. Longevity of my wiki is far more important to me than ads on my wiki. That is because moving a wiki can be a lot of work, and one loses hits when links go bad due to moving. |
|||
== [[Forum:Index]] == |
|||
I really don't think most people with wikis mind ads as long as they don't have to see them when logged in. A wiki farm can be non-profit or semi-profit, and use ads. See [[wikipedia:WP:Funding Wikipedia through advertisements]]. |
|||
Hi all! I just wanted to get some opinions on [[Forum:Index]]. Do people find it useful or should we just use this page instead? It seems we have a lot of duplicate places to post / talk about similar stuff...

I would like to be able to provide my email address in my preferences so that I can get a password update email when I lose my password.

== How Do I Allow Viewing By Anonymous Users? == |
|||
Thanks for enabling email in preferences. It is good to know that your funding is longterm. Many people will want to know this before starting a wiki. Maybe you could have opt-in ads for people like me who can not donate money, but are willing to put up with ads on their wiki in order to do their bit on funding. [[wikipedia:Google AdSense|Google AdSense]] is easy to enable. |
|||
I have set up a wiki called squaredanceideas. If I give someone the link squaredanceideas.orain.org they can view the main page. But they can't follow any links, they get a permission error. However, it seems an anonymous user can actually edit the main page. How can I set it up so that anonymous (i.e. non-logged-in people) can view all the pages but edit none of them? -- Proceeding unsigned comment by [[User:Brainstorm]], signed by [[User:NDKilla]] |

Some wikis will get popular at times, and you will get slammed. Bandwidth needs and costs will go up and down. See the info at the top of my Wikipedia user page: [[wikipedia:User:Timeshifter]]. It is not technically necessary to use servers one owns. There are many large commercial [[wikipedia:server farms|server farms]] with servers spread worldwide that could handle the bandwidth needs. They have dynamic [[wikipedia:Load balancing (computing)|load balancing]] and can handle any fluctuations in bandwidth needs. --[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 17:23, 8 August 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:You can go to [[Request features]] and ask for your wiki to have anonymous editing disabled, but made not-private, which I believe it currently is. I believe that anon editing main page is an issue for ALL private wikis (see below), and I recently tested it on another wiki.

== Orain? == |
|||
I may possibly fork more stuff from Wikia. I don't know. I forked some stuff to ShoutWiki. I may fork some other stuff to a different wiki farm so that I can keep each wiki more highly focused. |
|||
What about a brief note about the name "Orain"? |
|||
Orain and MyWikis are the only other free MediaWiki wiki farms left standing that I know of. See: |
|||
Does it rhyme with "The rain in Spain mainly falls on the plain"? |

I may start a separate wiki on ShoutWiki. So that I have 2 wikis there. There are a lot of things I like about ShoutWiki. They allow what is called a "private" wiki that leaves all decisions in the hands of the original founder. Including deletion, who can edit, who can see the wiki. |

|||
== Wikis Inactivity == |
|||
I created a wiki that the public can view. But I determine the scope of the wiki, and what new pages are allowed. I let anybody edit including anonymous IPs. If I need to leave ShoutWiki I can delete the whole wiki. That is a big advantage to Wikia. I have duplicate pages on Wikia that I no longer edit, and so they are out of date. ShoutWiki now has a forum that is just beginning. Central forums are very important in my opinion. Forums with pages that can be individually watchlisted. Wikia's forums are a huge help. They have a great community of CSS and JS experts. |
|||
Hello, I have noticed, looking at different Orain Wikis that a lot of them are inactive, or have never had an edit since their creation. I think instead of having so many inactive Wikis (and links), Orain should say, if there are no edits since creation for a certain amount of time, the wiki get's deleted, and then of course if the user says that next time he will edit, we can create it again. Maybe it's not such a good idea, but I don't think its good to have so many inactive wikis. |
|||
My main wiki is at ShoutWiki, and that wiki gets a huge number of hits for a few months every year. I would be unlikely to move that wiki again because I need to be sure the wiki farm can handle the bandwidth. My other idea for a wiki would not have such bandwidth fluctuations. But right now I am just thinking ahead. Nothing is likely to happen right away until I get other things in order. --[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 20:28, 9 August 2013 (UTC) |

Orain.org will be taking over responsibility for the TropicalWiki farms and ensuring that the end user still receives the best customer service possible. Current farms on TropicalWikis will be undergoing a review and wikis that are currently inactive according to Orain’s inactivity policy will either be merged and locked to prevent spam or discarded. |
|||
No changes will be taking place in regard to user accounts. Accounts will be moved over to Orain’s servers and user preferences, passwords, etc. will remain as they were on TropicalWikis. |

== Google Adsense == |

After reviewing estimated monthly costs and such, I've decided to seek assistance from the community. We are going to be enabling Google Adsense globally. Initially, I believe we're going to have it set to anonymous users only. We'll see how that works and if, with community feedback, users are okay seeing the ads logged in - we can continue it in that sense. I am largely against ads, and I don't wish to do this - however, to ease the financial aspects with running the site - I believe ads will help. It will be a small, non-imposing ad at the bottom of the toolbox. I welcome your comments and input. <font face="MV Boli">[[User:Dusti|'''<font color="#ff0000">D</font><font color="#ff6600">u</font><font color="#009900">s</font><font color="#0000ff">t</font><font color="#6600cc">i</font>''']][[User talk:Dusti|<sup>*Let's talk!*</sup>]]</font> 15:47, 20 August 2013 (UTC) |

namespace - magicwords
Hello, I am using subpages to simulate a multilingual wiki. I would like to provide links from subpages to the main page.
Eg. hello/de and hello/it will have a link to hello.
I seem to get the same result for {{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{PAGENAME}} in my subpages.
This help page about page names says that magic words only work in namespaces that have subpages enabled.
Is bibbia2000 wiki subpage enabled? How can I discover if it is? Any suggestions or workarounds?
thanks, --Simonpa71 (talk) 21:53, 16 September 2014 (BST)
- Hi! The list of namespaces that have subpages enabled are set in the $wgNamespacesWithSubpages config variable. Our currently deployed settings can be found on github specifically here. bibbia2000 wiki currently has the defaults for this setting, the default can be seen here, so most namespaces have subpages enabled! I hope this helps @Simonpa71:, sorry for the super late reply here.. ·addshore· talk to me! 14:46, 4 April 2015 (BST)
Forum:Index
Hi all! I just wanted to get some opinions on Forum:Index. Do people find it useful or should we just use this page instead? It seems we have a lot of duplicate places to post / talk about similar stuff... ·addshore· talk to me! 14:42, 4 April 2015 (BST)
How Do I Allow Viewing By Anonymous Users?
I have set up a wiki called squaredanceideas. If I give someone the link squaredanceideas.orain.org they can view the main page. But they can't follow any links, they get a permission error. However, it seems an anonymous user can actually edit the main page. How can I set it up so that anonymous (i.e. non-logged-in people) can view all the pages but edit none of them? -- Proceeding unsigned comment by User:Brainstorm, signed by User:NDKilla
- You can go to Request features and ask for your wiki to have anonymous editing disabled, but made not-private, which I believe it currently is. I believe that anon editing main page is an issue for ALL private wikis (see below), and I recently tested it on another wiki.

Orain?
What about a brief note about the name "Orain"? Does it rhyme with "The rain in Spain mainly falls on the plain"? Just curious... :-) --Simonpa71 (talk) 16:09, 22 May 2015 (BST)
- Feel free to look at Forum:Where does the name Orain come from? NDKilla (talk) 17:14, 22 May 2015 (BST)
Wikis Inactivity
Hello, I have noticed, looking at different Orain Wikis that a lot of them are inactive, or have never had an edit since their creation. I think instead of having so many inactive Wikis (and links), Orain should say, if there are no edits since creation for a certain amount of time, the wiki get's deleted, and then of course if the user says that next time he will edit, we can create it again. Maybe it's not such a good idea, but I don't think its good to have so many inactive wikis. @NDKilla: What do you think? --Reception123 (talk) 05:19, 28 June 2015 (BST)
- We have Dormant wikis, but I'm not sure if it's up-to-date. Wynter (talk) 06:14, 28 June 2015 (BST)
- Okay. Seems like this policy is not used, as I have seen Wikis inactive for more than a month and nothing happened. --Reception123 (talk) 06:18, 28 June 2015 (BST)
- I believe the policy says 3 months. And feel free to lock/close wikis if you think the fit in the dormant wiki policy. They can always be re opened. We most likely won't be deleting any. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 10:05, 28 June 2015 (BST)
- Okay. How could I possibly lock/close wikis withought permissions? Do I just put a notice? --Reception123 (talk) 16:41, 28 June 2015 (BST)
- As far as I am aware, dormant wikis is still the prevailing guideline/policy for locking inactive wikis. Reception, you are free to put a notice if you would like and then maybe leave a list here of the wikis that are inactive and someone will go and close them. Thanks for your help! -- Joe G. (Talk) 18:51, 28 June 2015 (BST)
- Okay. I will put a notice on the Wiki's, and then wait a few days and then tell them. --Reception123 (talk) 19:38, 28 June 2015 (BST)
- I think that we should close them after 7 days, if there is no activity. I will leave a list here. I do not understand why for some wikis (not private) i cannot see the RecentChanges. Could you please tell me why this is happening?

(reset indent) @Reception123: what wiki's cant you view the Recent Changes on? Also wiki-creators can close wiki's by adding the 'closed' tag to the wiki on the database list ("|closed" to the end of the line) when the database list gets read the wiki will be closed
- Okay. I will just leave them for 7 days and then close them. Reception123 (talk) 06:19, 29 June 2015 (BST)
- I believe @Arcane: had a script that checked for wiki inactivity that he used and posted on SPF's talkpage a while back. Not sure if it still works, but it might be worth checking into versus checking every wiki manually. -- Joe G. (Talk) 01:54, 29 June 2015 (BST)
how can i get allotted wiki's admin?
i want to administer my wiki, but i dont have administrator.
My wiki Nickname is 'ㅇㄹㄹ' and My wiki is 'usergame.orain.org'.
- First of all, login and you should have it. It is technically impossible to make an IP address an administrator. If you log into the account you requested the wiki with and you still don't have it, leave a note on Stewards' noticeboard and someone will give you administrator. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 10:53, 13 July 2015 (BST)
