Hi Dusti, |

|- |

I cannot create an account. Please reply to my email address (as this is a public IP address in my library) j@mywikis.com. Full disclosure: I am MyWikis Staff and I would love to help out on Orain. I can help with tech and community, just ask. Great service I will not beat. :) --[[User:Jeff|Jeff]]•[[User talk:Jeff|Talk]] 22:10, 16 July 2013 (UTC) |

I don't like ShoutWiki a lot, so please move [http://foodopedia.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page this wiki] to Orain? [[User:Emilyr25|Emilyr25]] ([[User talk:Emilyr25|talk]]) 04:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC) |

:Hi Emily! Thanks for sending a message! I'd love to help you with moving Foodopedia to Orain. What I need you to do is create what's called a "Dump" from this page [http://foodopedia.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Special:Statistics here] and you'll get a link that looks like this http://www.shoutwiki.com/dumps/c/co/foodopedia.xml.gz. Let me know when that's done :) <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> 04:59, 12 August 2013 (UTC) |

::I actually just took a quick look - there's really not much on the wiki hosted on ShoutWiki at the moment.

Yes, please, a fresh start. Thanks! But I can't log in because I forgot my password and I have no email address! |
|||
I also emailed you back to your question. |
|||
Also, when I try to create a dump, it's not working!!! I get an error message! [[User:Emilyr25|Emilyr25]] ([[User talk:Emilyr25|talk]]) 21:22, 12 August 2013 |

== Questions about your site service == |
|||
Hello, I'm Arcane, and I wanted to establish a wiki for testing and displaying MediaWiki extensions, which means I would like the ability to install certain extensions on my created wiki, assuming that is possible. If that level of wiki customization isn't available, I understand. I was also wondering if your wiki needs any new staff members at the moment. I'm an administrator with CheckUser rights on WikiIndex and the creator and administrator of the MediaWiki Beginners Wiki on Shoutwiki, but neither have me too tied down at the moment, so if there is an opening for staff here, I would like to apply. If there is no position available, I understand completely. |
|||
In any case, I'm glad to see another wiki farm is available, and I wish your site success. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 22:08, 12 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane |

:Hi Arcane! Thanks for sending me a message. You can definitely request specific extensions to be installed on your wiki. Currently, the only right that are not available to smaller communities is CheckUser as well as Oversight - due to the privacy implications. [[Stewards]] are available to do local checkusering and oversight. Should a community grow in size and require a local CheckUser and/or oversighter they may hold local elections. This is always subject to review and reconsideration if a valid request is made to the CheckUsers. Obviously we take experience, knowledge, and understanding of our policies into consideration. |
|||
:As far as a staff position being open - we're always looking for an extra hand. If you have a chance, join us on Freenode IRC. We're in #orain. <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> 04:44, 13 August 2013 (UTC) |

Hello. If possible, I would like to apply for a staff too. I'm a CU, sysop and bit operator at WikiIndex (sorry, but it's true), autopatrolled, rollbacker and bot operator (though not approved yet) at Wikimedia Commons, and editor in a number of wikis with dozens of edits. I'm also a regular IRC user (sorry for never been in yours). It would be great to work with you. I could also work with Abuse Filter and templates (most that looks like a developer's job). BTW, thanks for opening a no-ads wiki farm, I love it (though a little slow IMHO), and hope you success. --[[User:Zhuyifei1999|Zhuyifei1999]] ([[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]) 15:58, 14 August 2013 (UTC) |

== A fix for some display anomalies for the Monaco skin == |
|||
The Monaco skin doesn't play nice with Wiki editor, which results in some display anomalies, such as a black lin atop the main toolbar and it causes the search and replace button to bleed off the screen to the right. |
|||
Thankfully, I came up with a fix I implemented on my own wiki to solve the problem: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
/* My fixes for display errors with the WikiEditor extension */ |
|||
/* By Arcane (known as Arcane 21 on Wikimedia websites) */ |
|||
/* Add these lines at the end of monobook_modified.css file in the styles/css folder of the Monaco skin */ |
|||
.toolbar { |
|||
border-top-style: none!important; |
|||
border-top-width: 1px; |
|||
padding: 0px 0px !important; |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
/* Expandable Sections */ |
|||
.wikiEditor-ui-toolbar .sections { |
|||
width: 98%!important; |
|||
} |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Also, the buttons of the Monaco skin don't work properly with the Search and Replace menu, which will cause some display errors with the text not syncing properly with the buttons. |
|||
If you want to fix this the quick and dirty way, find the buttons.css file in the styles/css folder of the Monaco and erase everything in the file (don't delete the file itself). This will revert the buttons to use the monobook/vector look and will correct display anomalies in the search and replace menu. |
|||
Alternatively, you could hunt down the css file setting governing the button and text size and retain the Monaco button look, but the above is quick and dirty fix that I've tested on my own localhost wiki and it works fine for me. |
|||
I'd add this to the repository for Orain, but I suck at using Github, so please forward this information to your tech staff if need be. |
|||
Let me know if you guys need any further help. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 00:01, 19 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane |
