Any potential {{Mw|Category:Extensions included in Miraheze|extension at Miraheze}} may be requested (Miraheze occasionally have a [[Miraheze-Meta:Community Wishlist Survey|Community Wishlist Survey]]), but it will require a security review before being installed. Miraheze Stewards only intervene in local communities at the request of the community, or if there is [[vandal]]ism on the wiki. Miraheze has the facility to make available all [[:Category:Wiki database backup|database dumps]] at <tt>Special:DataDump</tt> on each wiki site. | ||
===Staff members=== | As of January 2023, Miraheze has a service status uptime of 99.16% during the previous twelve months.<ref>[https://status.miraheze.wiki/history Miraheze - status page - history]; ''status.miraheze.wiki''; Miraheze Status powered by Hund.io; accessed 3 January 2023.</ref> | ||
==Controversies== | |||
===Announcement of closure=== | |||
On 15 June 2023, the Board of Directors of Miraheze announced that the Miraheze service will be closed and cease to exist from 1 September 2023. With immediate effect, new wiki site creation was suspended, along with all uploads. All existing wiki sites will remain "operational for reading and editing activities" until 31 August 2023. From 1 September 2023, and following at least seven days notice period, all Miraheze activity will be withdrawn in its datacenter; by 1 October 2023, Miraheze will cease to exist as a wiki farm.<ref>[https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Board/Policies/20230615-Statement Board / Policies / 20230615 - Statement]; ''meta.Miraheze.org''; [[Miraheze Meta]]; 16 June 2023; accessed 23 June 2023.</ref> | |||
====Miraheze is not shutting down==== | |||
In response to the above announcement, various members of the Miraheze [[:Category:Wiki community|community]] rallied and developed a rescue plan to save it. A new non-profit corporation (hopefully with public charity status) is being created in the USA, and this will assume the assets of Miraheze Limited. Crucially, the Miraheze wiki farm will continue to operate as normal by the outgoing board.<ref>[https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_is_Not_Shutting_Down Miraheze is not shutting down]; ''meta.Miraheze.org''; [[Miraheze Meta]]; 18 June 2023; accessed 23 June 2023.</ref> | |||
