NDKilla Mass topicy thing

I'll try to bullet all my separate topics..

  • First off I created Template:Pre style on my wiki as I like using it but wasn't sure if I should create it on here.
    Probably no point in importing it unless someone has a need for it on meta :) ·addshore· talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
  • I see you noticed I created CheckUser. Is there an interwiki link to the login wiki? A wikilink to login:Special:ListUsers/checkuser would be cool, but an external link could be placed too.
    Generally people that can checkuser will not have the user right, its probably best just to point to the list of stewards! ·addshore· talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
    I'm a little confused as to what you mean by this part.. NDKilla (talk) 20:23, 4 April 2015 (BST)
    I mean that once someone has checkusered a user they will then remove the checkuser flag from their account. ·addshore· talk to me! 21:55, 4 April 2015 (BST)
  • Otherwise, that page look okay? I was thinking that the MW pages (1, 2, and 3) could all be set appropriately to prevent checkuser's from being redlinked on user right pages, but I'm 99% sure I don't have permission to edit the MW namespace. Assuming global sysops do, it's something I'd be interested in but of course realize this is more far off :P still waiting for a message back from Dusti, he acknowledged me tho so I'm being patient.
  • As for all the technical stuff.. well, I have 2 Apache servers and MediaWiki on a local computer, and I had some questions about wiki farms. (I'm by no means looking to replace Orain, I'm just trying to figure out the technical side of stuff, and then I might be able to help here in other ways.) Hope to talk to you on IRC about this sometime...

Thanks! NDKilla (talk) 15:23, 4 April 2015 (BST)

  • I am planning on writing a blog post some time soon (maybe even today) about how orain works / how we are currently running it. I guess this will be helpfull! :) Otherwise just catch me on IRC, or even Southparkfan, and we can probably help you! ·addshore· talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
    Cool, hope to see this later. NDKilla (talk) 20:23, 4 April 2015 (BST)
    @NDKilla: blog post ·addshore· talk to me! 11:13, 5 April 2015 (BST)

PS:

I'm just going to update here, since mass topicy thing go!

  • I already emailed you about some shit (assuming your accounts email is valid) sorry if that bugs you!-NDKilla (talk) 02:52, 6 May 2015 (BST)
  • Per #Protections/restrictions I was wondering all of the code needed to create new protection levels (like 'protected so only stewards can edit' if you could share.
    • Linked above! ·addshore· talk to me! 15:19, 13 May 2015 (BST)
      • Danke NDKilla (talk) 15:36, 13 May 2015 (BST)
      • Would it be hard to (or allowed) to have bcrats on my wiki able to protect pages, and allow them to protect pages so that only bureaucrats can edit some pages? (IE: If I request this would it ever be done?) NDKilla (talk) 16:32, 13 May 2015 (BST)

In an unrelated note, those were some nasty things said on those user/talk pages by that person and the socks. Thanks for being awesome, Addshore. NDKilla (talk) 15:09, 13 May 2015 (BST)

Proposals for new wikis/Archive

Hello / bonhour !
Just a detail of chronology : the proposals between 24 July and 25 August 2014 are archived in the page Proposals for new wikis/Archive 2 and not at the end of Proposals for new wikis/Archive 3. Is it deliberate? Penkroff (talk) 01:01, 16 April 2015 (BST)

This was not deliberate! I probably made the mistake as only the first and second archives are listed in the heading of the page! I will aim to fix this soon! :) Thanks for pointing it out! ·addshore· talk to me! 08:55, 16 April 2015 (BST)
It's because Proposals for new wikis/header has not been marked for translation. Addshore, could you please do that. Wynter (talk) 22:17, 23 April 2015 (BST)
Thanks for pointing that out! Marked now! ·addshore· talk to me! 13:31, 27 April 2015 (BST)

Protections/restrictions

Looking at the ansible playbook, I see the code: 

	// Restrictions
	'+wgRestrictionLevels' => array(
		'default' => array(
			'user',
			'steward'
		),
		'+metawiki' => array(
			'createwiki'
		),
	),
	'+wgRestrictionTypes' => array(
		'default' => array(
			'delete'
		),
	),
	'$wgRestrictDisplayTitle' => array(
		'default' => true,
		'portalwiki' => false,
	),
	// /Restrictions

This code looks firmilar, and I was wondering if this is what I think it is. I would like to create (on a test wiki i have full access to) a kind of super-protection (see WP's superprotect) that allows only my steward/sheriff groups to edit the pages. I'd also make it impossible for these super-protected pages to be deleted by sysops. NDKilla (talk) 06:16, 17 April 2015 (BST)

Hi! I dont believe the code above is to do with anything like the WP super protect bit. The change for Wikimedia that introcuded superprotect can be see here ·addshore· talk to me! 13:33, 27 April 2015 (BST)

Hello

Hello and welcome. You have been really busy clearing up the backlog. I appreciate the hard work and expertise. I'll be back for more, as I really am a newbie, but with great ambitions. My next move is to try and publish the content of my wiki to a website, so I'll be asking for advice and plugins. Cheers! --Simonpa71 (talk) 21:37, 5 May 2015 (BST)

Awesome! :) ·addshore· talk to me! 10:15, 13 May 2015 (BST)

Question

Read this please, and give me your opinion/thoughts. Also, reply about the Username change/contrib moving if you can please, that's mainly why I messaged you :D -CK (Editing from IP still)

P.S. Maybe you have an idea about this also- on the Not So EPF Wiki, We can type things into the search bar, but it's not actually giving any "suggestions" like it's supposed to. Do you know why that is, and is there any way for you to fix it? 184.1.246.222 23:02, 16 May 2015 (BST)

Hey! Probably best you direct your query about the search bar here ·addshore· talk to me! 11:58, 31 May 2015 (BST)
