Cannot create account, great service!

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. :) --JeffTalk 22:10, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Please move

I don't like ShoutWiki a lot, so please move this wiki to Orain? 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 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 :) Dusti*Let's talk!* 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. Perhaps you'd like to start fresh? Dusti*Let's talk!* 05:05, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

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! 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. 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. Dusti*Let's talk!* 04:44, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
IRC is preferable, but you can also reach us at help@orain.org. Kudu (talk) 14:54, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
