== Invalid Discord Invite ==

The Discord invite link on the [[Main Page]]'s ''Contact Us'' section is invalid. Just a heads up!&nbsp;[[User:Metrago|Metrago]] ([[User talk:Metrago|talk]]) 14:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

== Trust and Safety groups deprecated ==

Because of lack of need at this time, WikiOasis [[Trust and Safety]] as a team has merged into [[Stewards]]. This means I am the 'Trust and Safety Representative', of sorts, but ultimately a Steward by role. Globe is now just Steward.

To refresh on how the farm is run, it is governed by an Executive Team that includes stewards and sysadmins, who respectively handle community and technology affairs on the farm (though membership can and does overlap). There are other possibilities, for example we have some advisors and are willing to work with people who have decent ideas how to push the farm forward (we could always use some energy), and if you have a wiki project you'd like to host we're open to discussing that as well. 

Take care all,

== Growth Tools ==

Heya all,
I've enabled the GrowthExperiments extension and set it up here, to allow for new users to connect with a mentor and ask questions they may have to them, along with suggesting tasks such as adding links between mainspace pages and and copyediting. I don't think GrowthExperiments will necessarily be here for a long time, but I'd like to see if it helps with retention and encouraging volunteering here. If anybody is interested in mentoring, and has more than 50 edits and your account is more than 90 days old, go to [[Special:MentorDashboard]] to sign up.

==Inquiry regarding the merger of SkyWiki and WikiOasis==
Hello, I am the creator and administrator of superscience.skywiki.org and antimony.wikioasis.org. I have a few questions regarding the upcoming merger between SkyWiki and WikiOasis:

superscience.skywiki.org and antimony.wikioasis.org share the same theme and have nearly identical content, as they were created around the same time. However, since their inception, my users and I have been active exclusively on superscience.skywiki.org. antimony.wikioasis.org has remained inactive and has been used solely for backup and testing purposes.

I would like to clarify how the merger between SkyWiki and WikiOasis will be implemented:

# Will skywiki.org retain its independent domain?
# Or will all skywiki.org sites be redirected to wikioasis.org?

If the plan involves redirection, will it be possible to keep both sites? If not, please decommission antimony.wikioasis.org and redirect it to superscience.skywiki.org (which, I assume, would become superscience.wikioasis.org after the merger is complete).

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi!

I'm having trouble getting my wiki logo working, as it always just disappears on every page but the core settings page. Can anyone tell me why? Please help, and thank you!&nbsp;[[User:Pompom454|Pompom454]] ([[User talk:Pompom454|talk]]) 00:33, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
:{{done|Fixed}}, let me know if it’s working now. [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 00:57, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I am [[User:Hydrogen Sulfide]], and when I tried to log in, there was a message that read:

== Greetings! ==

<small>(Copying this post over from SkyWiki's CP now that the merger is official)</small>

Greetings! I'm a long-time supporter of MediaWiki with strong knowledge of the software in many aspects. I was previously self-managing a wiki hosted on a free virtual cloud server. Unfortunately, a few days ago the wiki completely crashed shortly after upgrading to 1.45 and appears to be largely unrecoverable (I do have a partial backup of the content pages, but all of the configuration has been lost). While I could theoretically start over on the same virtual server, the platform had several restrictions that limited the functionality of the service which could only be overcome by upgrading to a paid service, which I would rather not do. So I'm looking for a new host. Coincidentally, I noticed that SkyWiki appeared to be experiencing a major turnover and was likely looking for new volunteers. I assume that need will continue post-merger especially since one platform will now be hosting essentially double the content.

I already have fairly strong knowledge of PHP and the MediaWiki code, and I am also currently in school to become a network support technician/IT specialist, and have some experience in this area already. So I was wondering perhaps I'd be welcomed onto the sysadmin/steward/staff team in some capacity? I don't currently have the means to be financially responsible for any infrastructure, but if another entity handles the financial aspects I am more than willing to help with the maintenance and upkeep, and also participate in community oversight roles as well. I would also be looking to restart my personal wiki here - the reason I haven't done so yet is because under my previous host I did have full unrestricted access to the entire MW interface, including full user rights access. I didn't have shell access but the host partnered with cPanel and Softaculous to provide a web-based interface for editing <code>LocalSettings.php</code>, installing extensions, etc. It appears that by default, most wiki farms restrict some of the technologically advanced or privacy-sensitive features only to staff members. Thus I would only want to host here if I was also a team member in some form, in order to maintain the same level of access to my own personal site as I previously had, and to avoid essentially having a downgrade in experience. Of course I would be more than willing to properly balance global roles/responsibilities with my personal site. Please let me know if you'd be willing to consider this. Please also note that I will need to decide what to do with my existing virtual cloud server sooner rather than later, as it is technically a violation of the host's ToS to be holding onto an "empty" server that you're not actively doing anything with (seldom enforced, but still). 

Thank you for your consideration.&nbsp;[[User:United States Railfan|United States Railfan]] ([[User talk:United States Railfan|talk]]) 15:34, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
:{{ping|United States Railfan}} — hiya, our mw-config is available on [https://github.com/WikiOasis/mw-config GitHub] and pull requests can be made by anyone for changes to configuration and assuming they do not pose a major security risk they will be merged. Right now we don't have a need to expand our tech team as we run on a very small monolith infrastructure. If you do want to provide technical resources such as infrastructure or hardware donations however feel free to either donate financially through donate.wikioasis.org or email me at zippybonzo[at]wikioasis[dot]org and I'm happy to review the specifics of this. --'''[[User:Zippy|zippy]]'''[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]''' ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 12:24, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

==Issue with Namespace 3000 and Search Indexing after Migration==

My site superscience.wikioasis.org was recently migrated from superscience.skywiki.org, but I am encountering two major technical issues:

Namespace Issue: All pages in the custom "超理文献" namespace (ID: 3000) are inaccessible. When trying to open them, it shows "page does not exist." However, they still seem to exist in the database, as I can see their titles listed in Special:LongPages. You can see the configuration here: https://superscience.wikioasis.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/namespaces/3000

Search Functionality Issue: The search bar provides correct suggestions while typing, but upon pressing enter to go to Special:Search, only a very small number of pages are displayed. Most pages, including those that appeared in the search suggestions, cannot be found in the search results.

== Cite templates ==

I would like to make citations in my wiki, luthsci.  It appears that the only cite template available is "Basic". I'd like to cite books, journals, websites, news, conferences, etc.

I also see above that another user imported templates from wikipedia and used their citoid service.

== About Minecraft screenshots ==

About 1 year ago, I uploaded a [[wo:hypixel:ファイル:ハイピクセルのロビー (イースター).png|Minecraft screenshot]] to my wiki, Hypixel Wiki. However, the [https://www.minecraft.net/eula Minecraft EULA] generally prohibits commercial use. Since WikiOasis is funded by [[Fundraiser|donations]], I was concerned that this might violate Minecraft's terms of service, so I asked this question. Is it okay to keep the image?
