==Can't seem to sign up==
Hey there. Sorry to bother you, but you were the first active administrator I saw.
I've been trying to create an account for awhile but I keep getting this error message "Failed to connect to smtp.mandrillapp.com:587 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]". I've tried using multiple devices but it keeps up. Any idea how I can fix that and create my account? Or are accounts unable to be created nowadays? Thanks in advanced.
Here's my email if that's needed: [email protected] [[Special:Contributions/71.71.54.95|71.71.54.95]] 12:54, 20 January 2018 (PST)
:Hello, and thanks for reaching out.  Can you please confirm that you are using [[Special:RequestAccount]] in order to create a user account here on WikiIndex?  All sections need to be completed, and crucially, a valid and functional e-mail address is required.  Should any e-mail not be valid, the registration process will fail.  I see you are using a Yahoo account - whilst we have had some successful Yahoo registrations, I am aware that Yahoo accounts ''can'' be auto-blocked.  This is common throughout many differing internet sites, and is not unique to WikiIndex.  Perhaps you could consider a Gmail account, as these always validate successfully.  I would also like to advise that we still allow both editing of existing articles and creation of new articles as an [[IP editor]] (without creating an account).  Please let me know if you require further assistance.  Best regards.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 13:10, 20 January 2018 (PST)
:: Thanks for replying. Sorry or the lack of details on my end.
:::-Yes, I used Special:RequestAccount on both my laptop and mobile device with the same error.
:::-All sections were completely and filled out. I didn't get the same error message wen I missed a field, so those weren't the issue.
:::-I tried using both my Yahoo and Gmail email, to no avail.
::I suppose I'll just edit as an anon for now, I'll try to make an account in a week or so. Again, thanks for the help, I appreciate it.[[Special:Contributions/71.71.54.95|71.71.54.95]] 13:40, 21 January 2018 (PST)

==Hey==
Almost all of my wikis were lost in [https://incels.me/threads/my-house-got-burglarized-today-and-my-hard-drive-was-taken.61327/ a burglary].
So what category should pages like [[Kings Wiki (en)]] go in? Dead, I guess? [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|talk]]) 18:09, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
:Well that is a dire situation.  Any unwelcome 'guests' who do that kind of thing are just low-life - they don't have the balls to air their disagreements with you personally, but take the chickens way of trashing you, and your elderly and infirm parents.  Please make sure you update your home security.  Maybe get consider getting a Rottweiler or two!  They are incredibly loyal, and soft towards their owners, but can be highly effective at inflicting serious pain on intruders!
:As for your wikis, I am guessing you didn't backup their databases?  Have you checked [[Archive.org]] and / or [[archive.is]]?  It looks like Dead is the most appropriate.
:Stay safe, best. [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 20:27, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
::Yeah, this is kind of an epochal change; [[Nathania]] was originally created in 2012, and countless hours were spent adding content to it over the years; and we are now basically in the post-Nathania era.
::There's now not really anything left for anyone to try to steal or sabotage in the house (and if there were, they might still be hesitant to do so, since I'm now on the alert that people are willing to go to those lengths). They pretty much accomplished what seems to have been their goal, which was to get rid of my sites, or otherwise set me back, or silence me. These days, I just post on obscure forums.
::My backups existed on physical drives that were taken. I might have some really old versions of some databases on other drives that are lying around, but I don't know if I want to bother with it at this point.

hello, i want to create/request account, but i cannot, please can you help me please, but i do not want personal biography, and here is the details i want in my account:
*username: psl85
*email to send details and password: <code>[email protected]</code>
*real name: philip
*i have read and understand [[Wikiindex:Terms of Service]]? Yes
*Other things: I would use the "monobook" skin instead of the "vector" skin, default items to show by default in recent changes, histories, and logs: 200, and i want to use the old classic edit toolbar instead of the enhanced, and please notify me on my IPs talk page while this is done.

== Small trouble with a vandal ==
Hi! I'm a wiki editor for the [[Independent Fallout Wiki]] and I had to deal with a vandal on our page. Essentially, an anon edit posted links to something completely irrelevant to the subject matter, as well as posting misinformation that really had no relation to the article. They also dead-named on our admins.
I was curious if there's any counter-measured to prevent this? Thanks! [[User:C0NN1E|C0NN1E]] ([[User talk:C0NN1E|talk]]) 13:56, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

==Redirecting WikiIndex-dot-com URL to subpage==
Hey, Hoof! I don't know if you're the right person to ask for this, but many old Fandom (Wikia) sites still have [[wikiindex:]] interwiki link set to http://wikiindex.com/$1. For examples, see [https://cities.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo cities.fandom] (a.k.a. [[Cities Wiki]]), [https://list.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo list.fandom] ([[WikiLists]]) and the ''Star Trek'' wiki, [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo memory-alpha.fandom] ([[Memory Alpha]]).
The problem is, https://wikiindex.com/aaaa or any URL to dot-com with any subpage just redirects to the homepage (https://wikiindex.org). Thoughts on fixing how that domain redirection is set up? —[[User:AStranger195|AStranger195]] ([[User talk:AStranger195|talk]]) 13:21, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

just worked on [[RMS Titanic Wiki‎]] and created a template for its sister wikis. Please check it whether it's OK that way.
Also, I'm wondering about this website: [https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/introduction.html Encyclopedia Titanica]. Does this fit in here?

:Which browser are you using?  For me, when I use Safari on my Mac, I regularly get cookie warnings for sites which I know that I have already accepted, and it frequently logs me out of sites which I regularly use.  I never have those issues when using Opera browser!  Regards.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|<big>Sean P</big>, <small>''aka'' Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]] / [[Staff]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 11:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
==Do you know a wiki with a smart user community?==
Somehow I don't feel satisfied with the various communities I'm a member of. You know about so many wikis. Can you recommend one to me which has science and/or fiction as a topic, and an intelligent user base? Maybe one with restricted access?
TIA, --[[User:Max Sinister|Max Sinister]] ([[User talk:Max Sinister|talk]]) 20:40, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
:Hello, and apologies for late reply.  Apart from trawling through [[:Category:Science]], it is difficult for me to make personal recommendations.  [[SklogWiki]] is a high-level science wiki, run by a former WikiIndex editor.  [[Psiram]] appears to be a quality site, its German language version is fairly active.  [[RationalWiki (en)]] includes lots of science, as do the various [[:Category:Uncyclopedia]]s.  Best regards, [[User:Hoof Hearted|<big>Sean P</big>, <small>''aka'' Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]] / [[Staff]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 11:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
:: Thanks for your suggestions. For SklogWiki I don't have the right background, and RationalWiki has many readworthy articles, but the userbase has detoriated IMO. Still thanks for Psiram, I'll have to look at it.--[[User:Max Sinister|Max Sinister]] ([[User talk:Max Sinister|talk]]) 02:59, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
== Redirect Please  ==
Please can you make this page https://wikiindex.org/Taerel_Worldbuilding_Wiki Redirect to [[Taerel Wiki]] and merge content as fitting please?

== Are you OK, Sean? ==
For some weeks (it feels like it), I've tried to login, but the wiki was always down. That's why I wondered whether something had happened to you.--[[User:Max Sinister|Max Sinister]] ([[User talk:Max Sinister|talk]]) 21:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

== Welcome back ==
It's good to see you back and editing. Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93;]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 13:48, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
== Adding more semantics ==
Hello both [[User:Hoof Hearted]] and [[User:Kghbln]]. I think you are active occasionally. I wanted to ask if semantic mediawiki properties are welcome here at WikiIndex. I see the extensions installed, but few uses, only for wikifarms through its template. I have some ideas about using SMW properties to store stats about wikis and show them in graphs, kinda WikiApiary, but more modest (not huge amounts of stats saved every day for the same wiki). I can make a proof of concept and show to get your opinion. Regards. [[User:Emijrp|emijrp]] ([[User talk:Emijrp|talk]]) 18:31, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
:Here is [https://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User:Emijrp/Sandbox&oldid=287512 an example]. Excluding the detailed introduction, I think that I can code a bot to fill the Infobox, the Archive and Statistics sections. But that would change many pages and I want some feedback and approval before doing it, though I think that Wikiindex is a bit dormant.

:: I am sorry for responding late. I needed to be off during the past weeks. Anyhow, I am all for it. We could probably add that information to the size template or better to a new one to allow more flexibility for placing the graphs. You manually annotate the number of edits a year on the page in your example. I am curious how you would like to determine the number of edits or new page creations a year for a given wiki. API-calls on the first date of the year followed by a comparison of edit numbers? Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93;]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 07:54, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

::::Nice, now we need to figure out how ot add the data. Do you have a suggestion from your perspective? --[[User:Kghbln|&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93;]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 06:49, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
== Special:Statistics vs. {<nowiki/>{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} ==
Regarding your edit ([https://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=LateTherexWiki&diff=next&oldid=275888 diff]).
You know that "Special:Statistics" or "<code>{<nowiki/>{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}</code> does not provide the correct number of articles.
There are many reasons why the site_stats table does not contain the correct number, so it should be corrected from time to time.
There is a maintenance script [[:mw:Manual:initSiteStats.php|initSiteStats.php]], but most wiki owners do not use it.
If Special:PopularPages is now available, you have a more reliable way of determining the number of available articles in the wiki.--[[Special:Contributions/162.158.95.244|162.158.95.244]]
