==Can you help determine what upgrade is needed?== | |||
Hi Jack, if you wouldn't mind helping to figure out what this wiki needs, I can try to get it done. Best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||
:Hi Mark, thank you for your message. :-) | |||
:[[Special:Version]] says that WikiIndex is currently running MediaWiki 1.17.0, which has reached its end-of-life in this month; see the table on {{Mw|Version lifecycle}} and the fancy timeline there for more information. So upgrading MediaWiki core from 1.17.0 to the latest stable, 1.19.1, would definitely be welcome. | |||
:In addition to that, it might be useful to upgrade some of the extensions; or it might be so that some of them even ''need'' to be upgraded to function correctly. For example, as of now, WikiIndex is running [[Semantic MediaWiki]] version 1.5.6 but according to the [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/ official Semantic MediaWiki home page], the latest version is 1.7.1. | |||
:Like I wrote on [[WikiIndex:Anti-spam measures#WikiIndex is being overwhelmed by spam bots]], some new anti-spam tools might also help; right now I'd recommend {{Mw|Extension:SimpleAntiSpam}} and {{Mw|Extension:AbuseFilter}}; both extensions are used on the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] wikis, such as [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] and related projects, so they should be stable enough. | |||
:Please let me know if you have any questions. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] 04:31, 29 June 2012 (PDT) | |||

==Translation review== | |||
Hi Jack. Would you mind reviewing the translation on the [[AnarkismiWiki]] article here on [[WikiIndex]] please? Many thanks and best regards, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 14:38, 19 September 2012 (PDT) | |||
:I didn't yet touch the machine-translated English translation, but I have to wonder why we even bother with that page. The URL listed on the article displays a message stating "off line"<sup><nowiki>[</nowiki>[[wikipedia:Sic|sic]]<nowiki>]</nowiki></sup> and the WikiIndex article is more of a(n outdated) status update on the wiki's situation rather than an article explaining what the wiki is about, etc.<br>The article also mentions that the administration's e-mail address is aropupu[ at ]stc.cx, so maybe you'll want to contact them at that address and ask about the wiki's situation. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 05:36, 21 September 2012 (PDT) | |||
==checking in about MediaWiki version== | |||
Please update [[WikiIndex:Upgrades needed#MediaWiki version|this section]] if there is different information - thanks, [[MarkDilley]] | |||

==The MediaWiki shuffle== | |||
Hi Jack, I would like to move your user page to [[Jack Phoenix]] - with your [[talk page]] staying at [[User talk:Jack Phoenix]]. I think that for [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] - putting the people who do the work - one step removed makes sense, at [[WikiIndex]], we are all about the people who do the work on wikis too. What do you think about that? Best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||
: If you (or someone else) wants to create a main namespace page about me, by all means feel free to, but I don't think that moving the [[user page]] from userspace to mainspace would make that much sense. User pages, in my view, are more or less structured profiles written by the respective users, whereas main namespace pages are — or should be, in my view — more "encyclopedic". Sure, we're not the [[English Wikipedia]] or anything like that, but if we look at {{Wp|User:Lee Daniel Crocker|the user page of Lee Daniel Crocker, a prominent MediaWiki developer and long-time Wikipedia editor}} and the {{Mw|Lee Daniel Crocker|main namespace article about him}}, you'll notice that there's a certain difference in tone and whatnot.<br>It'd actually be somewhat flattering to have someone write a mainspace article about me, but I'll leave that for "that someone else" as I don't want to be tooting my own horn too much. :-) --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 08:07, 29 April 2013 (PDT) | |||
:: I think the main point here is that [[WikiIndex]] cultural roots are pre-wikipedia, as such, we don't really adhere to encyclopedic... anything. In all the wiki that I worked on before [[English Wikipedia]] became "the wiki" - your name page was your page - just like on any page, you or anyone else can edit it. So, only with your permission, I would move [[User:Jack Phoenix]] to [[Jack Phoenix]] - else not. Best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||
::: If having someone else write a more neutral biography about me is not an option, I'd prefer my user page to stay where it is. For reasoning, please refer to my previous message. Cheers! --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 08:49, 2 May 2013 (PDT) | |||
:::: Yeah, that is not how we do it here, so just keeping you in the namespace seems like the best option. Best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||

==Spamming range blocked== | |||
Just blocked a spamming range -- <span class=plainlinks>[https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=Special:CheckUser&user=198.27.74.0%2F24 198.27.74.0/24]</span>. I haven't find any palse positives yet. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 07:43, 15 July 2013 (UTC) | |||

==Minor edit for Bot== | |||
I see [https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=Special:UserRights&user=YiFeiBot this] and I think yeah! But then I still see the edits in [[Special:RecentChanges]] - any thought about why? Best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||
: and then I figure out it is Abuse Filter -[[Special:UserRights/Abuse_filter]] and so I changed it to bot, but should it still be administrator? | |||
:# Changing user rights doesn't affect older items, <s>though I'm not sure if it would hide the newer log items.</s> Good, Cxxchen's block is hidden from RC. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 06:26, 22 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
:# The admin isn't possible to remove. It will re-apply itself. BTW, the admin right isn't needed, I've seen it de-admin others without being a crat. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 19:42, 21 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

==narrowing down the problem with email verification== | |||
I assume, that Your account is email-verified. Please add the domain part of Your email to this [[Help talk:E-mail]] so that we can see more clearly, which servers work and which not. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 16:16, 28 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
==Request for [[WikiIndex:ServerMove|ServerMove]] concerns== | |||
I wanted to be sure to draw your attention to the upcoming [[WikiIndex:ServerMove|ServerMove]] and solicit your help in making the transition a positive rather than negative experience.

==Special:PopularPages== | |||
* Is it so, that a shoutwiki-installation does not have Special:PopularPages? | |||
* it is needed to calculate [[User talk:LIMAFOX76#wF|wF]]. | |||

:Most bigger sites run in {{Mw|Manual:$wgMiserMode|miser mode}} to disable a bunch of badly-written and/or otherwise database-intensive features, one of which is the PopularPages special page (mind you, whenever there's a front-end cache, such as Varnish, involved, the page visit count data is wildly out-of-date and thus PopularPages is rather useless).<br>It's sad that whoever came up with the whole wF concept chose to use such an unstable metric for that. Luckily each MediaWiki installation has [[Special:Statistics]], which provides you with some actually ''useful'' data, which you can use to determine if the wiki in question is a [[Darthipedia|big]] or a small one. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 20:00, 8 April 2015 (UTC) | |||
==Weigh in on [[WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change#Poll]]?== | |||

:Just a "bit" late, but fear not, I'm not going anywhere. ;-) Nowadays life tends to be busy, but you can always catch me on MediaWiki.org as well as the usual IRC channels on Libera (#mediawiki, #ShoutWiki, etc.) for more pressing issues etc. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 13:52, 14 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
