When browsing to http://www.permanentfuturelab.wiki/ we get an "Error 1001 DNS resolution error" from CloudFlare. Can you please create a permanent redirect (301 http response) to http://permanentfuturelab.wiki/ ? Thanks in advance.

<s>:I have looked on GitHub and there seems to be no problem, the redirect is there.</s> Seems that not only your wiki is having problems here.

:::{{Ping|Jurjendevries}} Would you like us to disable the custom URL and to make your wiki permanentfuturelab.orain.org until we fix the problem? --[[User:Reception123|Reception123]] ([[User talk:Reception123|talk]]) 15:09, 6 July 2015 (BST)
::::{{Ping|Reception123}} Please keep the current situation. Any ETA when this can be fixed. A lot of users are common with typing www.permanentfuturelab.wiki instead of permanentfuturelab.wiki . If this can't be fixed within a week, is it possible to add a temporary IP address (149.210.207.127) in your DNS for the www. record, then I will do a redirect on my server.

:::::::{{Ping|Jurjendevries}} I am really sorry but Addshore has not had the time. The easiest for us would be to redirect it to permanentfuturelab.orain.org (the original URL), as that does not require big permissions. --[[User:Reception123|Reception123]] ([[User talk:Reception123|talk]]) 15:30, 16 July 2015 (BST)
::::::::{{Ping|Reception123}} We prefer the custom domain. Is it possible to contribute technical administration for Orain in general? Don't know how to join the team. I did BIND DNS, Apache, Nginx and some other server management in the past. Could imagine that there are more customers with a custom domain. --[[User:Jurjendevries|Jurjendevries]] ([[User talk:Jurjendevries|talk]]) 16:25, 16 July 2015 (BST)
:::::::::{{Ping|Jurjendevries}} Yes, there are a few cases with custom domain. And yes, if you get involved in Orain and help around you will eventually get permissions. Personally, I only help around (the permissions I have are Meta administrator and wiki creator), so I only propose stuff, as I am not a programmer or anything like that. I understand that you prefer custom domain, but I do not know why it is not working. Let's hope {{Ping|Addshore}} get's to it. {{unsigned|reception123}}
<br>( reset indent ) {{Ping|Jurjendevries}} Our entire config used to be available on the ansible playbook and people could propose changes but do to issues with ddos's our entire DNS configuration is now done on CloudFlare and a limited number of people have access to it. I don't know what changes are needed to get custom domains working, nor do I know how to make those changes. We realize that you prefer to use your custom domain and we're sorry for the inconveniences. -- Cheers, [[User:NDKilla|NDKilla]] <sup> ( [[User talk:NDKilla|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/NDKilla|Contribs]] ) </sup> 22:27, 16 July 2015 (BST)

::::{{Ping|Reception123}} {{Ping|Addshore}} Sorry, missed that one. I registered the domain at provider TransIP. From there I configured your / Cloudflare nameservers to be used.

I used clark.ns.cloudflare.com as primary DNS, serena.ns.cloudflare.com as secundary, and ns1.orain.org as third. --[[User:Jurjendevries|Jurjendevries]] ([[User talk:Jurjendevries|talk]]) 11:03, 22 July 2015 (BST)
:::::So first you should remove ns1.orain.org totally. Secondly you say "I don't manage your DNS". I don't quite understand this.

::::::::::::{{Ping|Reception123}} {{Ping|Addshore}} Great, even the redirection of www is working. Only one small thing left, is it possible to do a wildcard 301 (permanent redirect) Eg. if a visitor is going to http://www.permanentfuturelab.wiki/wiki/Permanent_Future_Lab_Wiki can you redirect this to http://permanentfuturelab.wiki/wiki/Permanent_Future_Lab_Wiki . Else some search engines will see this as duplicate content, and some users will create external links to www. instead of without www. .

== Search bar problems ==
 
I'm asking this question pertaining to notsoepf.orain.org.
 
I know normally on search bars, it gives "suggestions" for articles when you type things in... but for some reason it isn't doing it on this wiki. According to the founder, it's only including pages that have been created ''on'' Orain (not the articles there before we moved here). Is there any way you can fix that? Sorry the explanation isn't the greatest, I'm not sure for the technical terms of it. I'm not asking you this from an account because I have a concurrent account/contrib problem, that I'm going to address in a new section once I'm done writing this. But- I'm CK, an admin on that wiki. Thanks for any help you can give. [[Special:Contributions/184.1.246.222|184.1.246.222]] 23:32, 31 July 2015 (BST)
 
== Merge accounts? ==
 
Hello. Once again pertaining to the notsoepf.orain.org wiki, but also for all of orain I suppose.
 
Before the wiki had moved to Orain, I went by the username "Cp kid". I was tired of that name, so I created an orain account with the name "CK". My question is, if you can move all contributions from "Cp kid" over to the "CK" account, or if I'm just out of luck? It seems like there should be an easy way to do this, I wasn't sure though, but I just figured I'd ask anyways. I haven't edited on the CK account in fear of it complicating things for moving the contributions. Thanks for your help. However this turns out, I'll probably go back to editing from CK after this. [[Special:Contributions/184.1.246.222|184.1.246.222]] 23:36, 31 July 2015 (BST)
:Hi, CK. I don't believe there's a way to merge contributions, but if the CK account is deleted, we could globslly rename your old account. The last time I did this, L(ixxx)235 was locked out of their account, and is still unable to log in.. I'm going to go ahead and mention {{ping|addshore}} and leave this for them. -- Cheers, [[User:NDKilla|NDKilla]] <sup> ( [[User talk:NDKilla|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/NDKilla|Contribs]] ) </sup> 17:18, 3 August 2015 (BST)
