Another request for Foodopedia

Please change the domain name from foodopedia.orain.org to foodopedia.org? Thanks! Emilyr25 (talk) 21:58, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

That domain name is currently registered and outside our control. Please give us another domain name. --Tux (talk) 22:17, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikifood.org ? CN you maybe install mediawiki for me, and set up that wiki? And maybe I can move all the information there? Or maybe something easier than that?? Emilyr25 (talk) 22:34, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Again, that domain is outside our control. Please check for your desired domain name first. --Tux (talk) 00:18, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Emily! For you to have a custom domain name you would first have to own that domain. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 00:42, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

How do I check for desired domain name? Emilyr25 (talk) 02:04, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

You'll have to search via a domain registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap, DreamHost etc. Once you secure a domain name, let us know and we'll take care of the rest. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 04:00, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

On hold What url would you like? We can do http://testers.orain.org, http://mediawiki.orain.org, http://mediawikitesters.orain.org. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 15:06, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Isn't this a bit redundant to our existing TestWiki? Kudu (talk) 15:07, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

If I'm understanding correctly - TestWiki is more geared towards flag testing, whereas this would be more towards extensions, skins, etc. - not exactly the scope of TestWiki. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 15:27, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that's the point to my proposed wiki, Dusti. I once looked into doing so on Wikkii, but their advanced hosting went belly up, so I was hoping to try creating this sort of wiki here. As for the URL, I would prefer http://mediawikitesters.orain.org. Arcane (talk) 16:08, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Request

Hello Dusti, I would like to know will my account Tyreek on the wiki be given administrator status and also will my wiki be given the special privileges of being the only wiki to be "log in to edit" it?--Tyreek (talk) 23:13, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tyreek! I've given you the Bureaucrat and Administrator flag locally. Your wiki does have single sign on currently - would you like it to not be? I'm sure one of our sysadmins could get that figured out - however, it does make things a bit tricky. We generally find people prefer SSO as it makes accounts much easier to handle. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 23:16, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

I entirely misread that. Login to edit isn't a biggie - we can enable that if you wish. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 23:18, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Ah I will love to have log in to edit enabled, btw I came here because for some reason on my last wiki farm the staff member hasnt been active to reply to my messages yet, so I just decided to leave and join here! But anywho I find this uses 1.20.0 and or higher, which is ok with me but is there also a way my wiki could uh what you call it, oh the 1.19 version, I just dont like the sidebar of the 1.19.3 and up.--Tyreek (talk) 23:20, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure if we're able to downgrade the wikis - as globally they're kept the same. You can actually edit the sidebar though to be how you want it to be. Checkout mediawiki:Manual:Interface/Sidebar to see how you can edit it and change it's look. I've passed off the require login push to a sysadmin who should put that through shortly. I'll let you know when it's done, or you can idle in our IRC room to see when it's done :) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 23:23, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Is there a way to possible downgrade a wiki? By the way, by the uh sidebar I can give an example, referata.com is an example of their sidebar because they are in 1.19.2 version. And I will wait.--Tyreek (talk) 23:31, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Shadow of Honor - Das Allianz Wiki (Status: Done)

• WikiCode: Shadow of Honor - AllianzWiki
• URL: https://SoHWiki.orain.org
• Type: Private
• Description: I will use this Wiki for create a Wiki for Groupe of Gamer from the OnlineGame "EvE Online" (http://www.eveonline.com/) It's intended to help new players from our alliance.

BotWiki (Status: Rights Granted)

• WikiCode: BotWiki
• URL: http://bot.orain.org (already exists)
• Type: public (editable by Orain registered SSO user accounts only)
• Description: This wiki was created on the fly by Dusti for testing of my bot's ability to edit across multiple subdomains/wikis. Now that testing has been completed, I'd like to re-purpose this wiki for use by bot owners at Orain, whether single-site bots or global bots. The wiki would be used to document each bots inner workings and scripts, and to host the task requests and the logs related to the bots. There could be additional namespaces for Bot: and Bot_talk: (which would function similar to User: and User_talk: but for bots instead of regular users), Script: and Script_talk: (for documenting and discussing particular bot scripts), and Framework: and Framework_talk: for information pertaining to a particular bot framework, such as Pywikipediabot, AddWiki, Peachy, etc. I would like Administrator/Bureaucrat permissions on this wiki, and I would invite the Orain Stewards to oversee activity on the wiki, as managing a bot on any Orain wiki is no doubt of great interest to those who run Orain itself.
• Requester: User:AugurNZ
• Approved: rights granted - if you want them on bot1 and bot2 - let me know. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 06:13, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for that Dusti. I'm sure that bot1 and bot2 will prove useful in the future for testing, so I'd only ask that they are not deleted for now (unless they start attracting spam). Thanks again. AugurNZ ✐⌕ 06:17, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Also, as this wiki is specifically about bots that are being run on Orain wikis, can I get permission to incorporate the Orain logo as part of the BotWiki logo? I would like to have the Orain "O" symbol in grey in the background of the BotWiki logo. Would that be okay? AugurNZ ✐⌕ 06:25, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Yep :) Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 06:47, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
