*WikiCode: AlleniaWiki

If possible, this request needs processed soon, as the server has already been public for almost a week, and players are having lots of questions.

::::This type of request is generally put on the [[Request features]] page. You're right, you won't find a way to add the logo yourself. It needs to be added using the $wgLogo variable in the LocalSettings.php file for your wiki, which, on an Orain hosted wiki, can only be accessed by a global Steward and is processed using a GIT push. At least, that is my understanding of the procedure anyway.

:::Guys, I'm going to jump in here for just a second. Jeff, last I checked you weren't someone with the authority to make decisions on what wikis can and cannot be created, correct? Also, I would advise that you don't give legal advice for the implications it, in turn, could cause you later down the road unless you are a professional law expert. Sturmkrieger, I understand what happened to you wiki and the rip-off that formed from it; that is unfortunate. However, having two wikis that essentially cover the same thing would force users to chose one that they visit most often, and that will drive traffic down toward your wiki. Could you possibly explain what would make your wiki unique compared to this other one? Something that would make it more appealing to users and thus increase traffic to it? Thank you in advance, [[User:Joe G|Joe G]] ([[User talk:Joe G|talk]]) 19:01, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
::::My wiki would be different because it would have the real Sturmkrieg Empire and not the nonsense that Dondrekahn and Inquisitor Ehrenstein made up where the Sturmkrieg race is created through the systematic genocidal rape of Germans. You can read their wiki. Its a load of grotesque Anti German propaganda where they merged with the people who committed genocide against them.

Hmm, I don't mean to be biased here, but I personally don't think we should host such topics. Genocide and Nazis are not topics taken lightly. I will not participate in this conversation anymore since it seems I've made a point. Also Joe, I ''do'' have a say (and so does everybody else) on what wikis can and cannot be created. I would suggest you act a bit kindly next time instead of responding with such a hostile message. I humbly invite your opinion but please, you are also starting to act like you are an authority.

Revision as of 19:29, 19 October 2013

Proposals for new wikis
This page hosts proposals for new Orain wikis. Here you can:
  • Propose new wikis. If you have an idea for a new wiki, submit it here.
  • Get involved in the process. Help sites get off the ground by defining the types of articles that are wanted and by recruiting editors to help with its launch.
  • Before requesting a wiki, check out our current wikis to see if we already have one about your topic.
  • A wiki request may be closed automatically if:
  • There is no description
  • It may cause legal issues
  • There is an existing wiki (with certain exceptions in rare cases)
  • The requester does not have a user account

Archives: /Archive 1 • /Archive 2

Create a wiki now! Click below to get started:
Make sure to be logged in before you request a wiki.

FMDS (Status: Done)

  • WikiCode: FMDSWiki
  • URL: fmds.orain.org
  • Type: Private
  • Description: This will be a private wiki for a personal project that I hope to have completed by February 2014. The wiki will be used to assist with the updating of my home computer network. I had started doing this on a localhost installation of MediaWiki, but I figure that it would be best to have this hosted online rather than locally, as I'll be wiping clean all my home computers, including the localhost MediaWiki installation, as part of this project. The wiki will have a page for each of my hardware configurations, and pages for each software package that I intend to install onto them, along with installation instructions and BASH scripts. There will also be task lists on the wiki to keep me on track with this project.
  • Requester: User:AugurNZ
  • Approved:  Done John (talk) 19:13, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for that John. AugurNZ ✐⌕ 22:14, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
