== You have been granted admin/'crat on BotWiki ==
 
Hi John, as per my [[Proposals_for_new_wikis#BotWiki_.28Status:_Rights_Granted.29|original request]], I have now granted you Administrator and Bureaucrat rights on [http://bot.orain.org BotWiki]. I hope that the BotWiki will eventually become "''the'' place to be" for anything to do with running bots on Orain wikis, whether on a local wiki or globally. <span title="Meta-Wiki profile" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:AugurNZ <font color="#000" face="Times">'''''Augur'''''</font><font color="#33f" family="Arial">'''''NZ'''''</font>]</span> <span title="Meta-Wiki talk" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AugurNZ <font color="#000" size="4">&#x2710;</font>]</span>[[Special:Contributions/AugurNZ|<font size="4" color="#000">&#x2315;</font>]] 01:01, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 
== Opted-out of global bot wikis ==
 
Hi John, I just saw this new [[Special:WikiSets/2|WikiSet]] and I'd like to make use of it. I already know how to respect the <code><nowiki>{{nobots}}</nowiki></code> and the <code><nowiki>{{bots|deny=}}</nowiki></code> imperatives, as Pywikipediabot is exclusion compliant "out of the box". I was wondering how I can integrate this new WikiSet you have created, in order to automatically respect the wishes of those admins who have requested to opt out of global bots using this WikiSet? I can do it manually, I guess, by checking the WikiSet before each bot run to ensure that there have been no changes to the membership list of wiki's that have opted out, but I'd like to have a more automated method if possible. Any ideas? <span title="Meta-Wiki profile" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:AugurNZ <font color="#000" face="Times">'''''Augur'''''</font><font color="#33f" family="Arial">'''''NZ'''''</font>]</span> <span title="Meta-Wiki talk" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AugurNZ <font color="#000" size="4">&#x2710;</font>]</span>[[Special:Contributions/AugurNZ|<font size="4" color="#000">&#x2315;</font>]] 05:49, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
:To my knowledge there is a way. The best thing as far as I know is using the API call which lists and displays on the requested wikiset. I constructed the API call you need to use [https://meta.orain.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=wikisets&wsprop=wikisnotincluded&wslimit=1&wsfrom=Opted-out%20of%20global%20bot%20wikis here] [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 06:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
::Thanks John, but that just went straight over my head ;) While you and Addshore may be creating bot frameworks that leverage the MediaWiki API, I'm still stumbling around here learning how to use an established framework, as an end-user. At present my level of knowledge is limited to ''"use this script with these parameters to achieve this result"''. I haven't really even encountered WikiSets before I joined Orain, so I have no idea about them either. I understand if it would take you too long to explain in layman's terms. Feel free to just tell me to RTFM or ask on #pywikipediabot on FreeNode IRC. I guess at least I know my own limitations, hehe. <span title="Meta-Wiki profile" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:AugurNZ <font color="#000" face="Times">'''''Augur'''''</font><font color="#33f" family="Arial">'''''NZ'''''</font>]</span> <span title="Meta-Wiki talk" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AugurNZ <font color="#000" size="4">&#x2710;</font>]</span>[[Special:Contributions/AugurNZ|<font size="4" color="#000">&#x2315;</font>]] 06:38, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I'd suggest what you said :p Also it is Addshore doing the bot work, I just there and throw demo scripts together on request. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 06:45, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 
== Some items relating to extensions you may want to share/discuss with the rest of the Orain staff ==
 
In the event certain extensions are requested by other users or are implemented globally, I would like to share some information that would be of use to yourself and the rest of the Orain staff.
 
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Language_Extension_Bundle MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle] - In the event any of the extensions included in this extension package are requested, I extremely recommend only the latest version of the extensions be installed from this downloadable bundle. This reason is since these extension are intensely interrelated and can easily go awry if they are unstable, and several interface errors can occur with bleeding edge version of these extensions. I recently requested most of the extensions included in this bundle for my wiki explicitly from this bundle alone for stability reasons, and I recommend that either this entire bundle's latest version (or certain extensions from the bundle) be installed if they are requested by anyone else.
 
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Bundle Semantic Bundle] - For similar reasons as the above, if SMW extensions are requested, I recommend they be installed from this bundle and all updates should follow the bundle update path. Any SMW extensions not part of this bundle I cannot speak for. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 20:17, 10 September 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 
== SACwiki requests at [[User_talk:Dusti#Wiki_made_private|Dusti's talk page]] ==
 
Hello, John. Dusti is away, and he suggested that such requests be addressed to you and other stewards. Could you please take a look
[[User_talk:Dusti#Wiki_made_private|at his talk page]]? There are three recent requests at the bottom of the section. It's kind of time sensitive and I'd really appreciate if you could help me out. Or shall I copy the requests here? Many thanks. [[User:SAC SEC|SAC SEC]] ([[User talk:SAC SEC|talk]]) 06:30, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
:Done 1 (pending), not sure about 2 and I have done 3. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 06:40, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
::WOW! That was fast! Thank you very much, John. Regarding 2, when I make any edit to [http://sac.orain.org/wiki/Answers_to_EC_on_FDG#Traditional_standards_for_boys_and_girls this section] (BTW, how do you create wikilinks to other wikis such as SAC on meta.orain.org?) and save, the screen goes blank even after repeated refreshing, so I have to open the entire page to be able to read the section. However, the changes are always saved. This happens only with this particular section. I wonder if you can reproduce the glitch. Regards, [[User:SAC SEC|SAC SEC]] ([[User talk:SAC SEC|talk]]) 06:51, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
:::Update – now users SAC01, SAC02, and SAC03 cannot edit because their accounts "are not unified". Is there a fix for this? Regards, [[User:SAC SEC|SAC SEC]] ([[User talk:SAC SEC|talk]]) 06:51, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
::::Hm. Ask them to visit [[Special:MergeAccount]]. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 14:24, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
:::::Just did. SAC01 appears to be all right, but SAC02 and SAC03 are unable to log in. Do you reckon it will be easier to block these two accounts and create new ones? Regards, [[User:SAC SEC|SAC SEC]] ([[User talk:SAC SEC|talk]]) 19:06, 13 September 2013 (UTC
::::::What ever you want to do really. Might be easier. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 19:08, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
:::::::So I'll do that then. And thanks for enabling file upload option -- it's up and running now. Regards, [[User:SAC SEC|SAC SEC]] ([[User talk:SAC SEC|talk]]) 19:51, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

== SACwiki login problems ==
 
Hi John. There is currently a problem logging in to sac.orain.org for all its users, myself included. Each time I log out, I have to reset my password in order to log in. Users who chose not to register their emails in their Preferences are stuck without even this password resetting workaround.

== Need help reverting a lot of vandal edits to Orain Meta ==
 
Some vandal named "Sexy" went on a vandal spree, and while I blocked the vandal and gave myself emergency rollbacker powers to attempt to undo the damage, they shuffled a lot of pages around so I'm not sure where to start, so anyone who can clean stuff up would be appreciated. I also suggest page move rights be restricted to administrators and stewards only on Orain Meta from now on. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 11:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Arcane
:I'll take a look around the pages. I'll discuss with the others about move permissions. For what it is worth, I dealt with the account globally (locked) and blocked the source (local CU block here and a global IP block), hopefully there should be no further issues. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 13:10, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
:Thank you. I figure since this wiki is mainly for coordination of the entire farm, page move permissions should be restricted to prevent obvious abuse, but aside from that, most other vandalism shouldn't be too hard to deal with. Again, thanks for the help, please revert any vandalism I might have missed. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 13:17, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Arcane

== Merged? ==
 
Have Orain now officially merged with tropical now? If so, how do I transfer my account?
 
-Spydar007
 
== Would like to request external wiki page importing rights for importing an Orain friendly version of Twinkle. ==
 
The Twinkle gadget from Wikipedia does not work on Orain at present, due to having been customized for Wikipedia. I have found a version of Twinkle on another wiki that will work with little to no modification, and I have also made XML dumps of all the required templates needed for the extension (I may be missing some, but all the essentials should be present for general use).
 
My problem is that the current import pages right is restricted to interwiki copying, which will not work for importation of this gadget for obvious reasons. I have tested this version of Twinkle on my localhost wiki and found it works "out of the box" with minimal or no modification, and I would like to provide a reasonably functional version of the gadget via Special:Import.

:{{done}} [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 07:41, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
::I should be done for now. I imported a lot of stuff that Twinkle uses, not entirely confident I got it all (it has a LOT of dependencies and templates it requires, and I do mean a LOT), but most of the general purpose stuff should be in place. This version should work fine if you enable the gadget in your user preferences, but it will need some editing for Orain specific stuff, since this is a crude import of the Wikipedia gadget that was retooled for general use, and if I can make a more complete version, I'll let you know. If you want to rescind my temporary upload rights, please feel free, since I probably won't have a cleaned up version of the Twinkle import ready for a long time.

Hi John, the main page states that Orain has merged with TropicalWikis, however, I cannot find any of the Tropical Wiki wikis and my account doesn't exist. Was there an error and some wikis couldn't be imported? I'd appreciate it if you could answer some of these questions! Thanks!

== TropicalWiki Accounts ==
 
Question about the TropicalWiki accounts. If you were to create a Orain account with the same name as a TropicalWiki account before they are revived, would it effect anything? I understand it may be a little silly of a question, but I'm just wondering.

[[File:Stervoorbuitengewonewijzigingen.png|right|thumb|Thank you very much for all your work!]] I'd like to give you a barnstar for all the work you do here on Orain and elsewhere! [[User:Southparkfan|Southparkfan]] ([[User talk:Southparkfan|talk]]) 19:56, 22 June 2014 (BST)

== Image glitch followup ==
 
A while ago I reported a glitch involving images on Orain, but I'm still having the problem on my wiki a month later. I don't mean to sound rude or impatient, but how is progress on fixing this coming along? --[[User:Chill57181|Chill57181]] ([[User talk:Chill57181|talk]]) 02:11, 1 July 2014 (BST)
 
== CreateWiki founder issues ==
 
It seems it doesn't care whether the account is globally created or not. I did a test: <code>(Logboek nieuwe wiki's); 02:25 . . Southparkfan (Overleg | bijdragen) created the wiki "southparkfanwiki" with "Southparkfan" as founder ‎(Testing if founder-error occurs on own-created wiki)</code> and I got the same founder error. [[User:Southparkfan|Southparkfan]] ([[User talk:Southparkfan|talk]]) 01:33, 6 July 2014 (BST)
:I'll look in the logs when I get back then. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 08:50, 6 July 2014 (BST)
::Until this issue is solved, someone should get access to createLocalAccount.php and a $wgAddGroups hack for userrights-interwiki I think. [[User:Southparkfan|Southparkfan]] ([[User talk:Southparkfan|talk]]) 13:03, 6 July 2014 (BST)
:::The issue is it can create the account with the maintenance script before the wiki is loaded. And a addgroup hack for userright interwiki requires modification to MediaWiki itself, modifications I don't want to make. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 13:31, 6 July 2014 (BST)
::::Hm, strange. Something like a delay or whatever should be enabled [[User:Southparkfan|Southparkfan]] ([[User talk:Southparkfan|talk]]) 13:41, 6 July 2014 (BST)
:::::It's the way Orain is set up really. I'm going to work on an 'enable-able' hack for CreateWiki to overcome this which will be enabled on Orain but disable in the extension. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 13:43, 6 July 2014 (BST)
 
== Delete Techwritewiki ==

== Rename db/wiki ==
 
I guess https://tech.orain.org/wiki/Renaming_a_database and https://tech.orain.org/wiki/Rename_wiki are the same. Can you merge them? [[User:Southparkfan|Southparkfan]] ([[User talk:Southparkfan|talk]]) 14:45, 14 July 2014 (BST)
:Separate for a reason. The first is specific to a single database while the latter is for renaming an existing wiki which is referenced from other databases. While the same in theory; the latter contains some SQL code I want to keep aspartame to reduce confusion. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 14:55, 14 July 2014 (BST)

== Wiki creation ==
 
I just got another founder error. I did what the list said and waited less than a minute before creating the wiki. There has to be some trick that I'm missing. I there a way I can create a practice wiki until I figure it out? [[User:Lieutenant S. Reznov|Lieutenant S., Geschichtsmeister des Lexipedium]] ([[User talk:Lieutenant S. Reznov|talk]]) 19:18, 3 August 2014 (BST)
:The wording is probably not the best. It means wait until the minute rolls over. Here you added it to the list at :15, you need to wait until :16 to create the wiki. [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 19:19, 3 August 2014 (BST)
 
== Protective programs ==
 
I was talking to Arcane about developing useful programs that could be used to monitor and address vandals or various other weirdos.
 
We were discussing this one script and he asked if there was a way that I could make it beneficial for Orain. He said there were some issues with people from WMF trying to cause trouble because of problems there.
 
This one checks for certain trigger words in discussions that could indicate harassment or some other improper activities.

:Given how a few idiots from WMF projects who were banned or otherwise disciplined there by some staff here refused to accept this and tried to start nonsense here, LS has retooled a python script that will act as a tripwire for whenever certain things are mentioned in a post about a certain user, which should be useful in keeping track of death threats or threats of bodily or other sorts of harm as well as libel or other criminal mischief. It can also be used to detect patterns of vandalism so it can be dealt with more efficiently. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 21:28, 7 August 2014 (BST)
::I think a global sysop bot would be better for dealing with vandalism. This script could probably detect obscenities used in vandalism, but would be more useful for detecting hostile talk.
