Question from Pauli1505 (19:33, 26 February 2025)
I came here to make a wiki about my game engine, i can kind of stay professional in writings, but often times my brain will just zip everything short, and i have a habit of typing everything lowercase, im working on the shortening stuff, but is the lowercasing a problem? --Pauli1505 (talk) 19:33, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- That’s not a problem. Feel free to request your wiki here. Globe (talk) 19:40, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
Your blocking on test.wikioasis.org
Don't block users while waiting for CheckUser unless the behavioural evidence is strong enough. EPIC (talk) 08:41, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- There's already enough behavioural evidence to essentially confirm it, however I'd also like a steward to double check and if CU evidence confirms it as well, then a global (b)lock can be implemented. --zippybonzo (c • ca) 09:40, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
How long it usually takes for wiki to be accepted?
would just like to know approximately Notedbilly (talk) 14:30, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Usually under 24hrs. Request approved! Globe (talk) 10:20, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- thank u! and also i wanted to know if there is any way to create infoboxes on my wiki? Notedbilly (talk) 16:26, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Notedbilly portable infobox extension should work :) --zippybonzo (c • ca) 19:06, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Portable infobox extension
how to add this infobox on the article? Kolenkimvd (talk) 13:33, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- use Special:InfoboxBuilder to create infobox, then Use
{{TemplateName}}

Question from Flanvenus (22:43, 28 May 2025)
Is this for making wikis or editions on wikipedia? --Flanvenus (talk) 22:44, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi! This is a wikifarm, similar to Fandom (but better) or Miraheze. We host sites on the same software that runs Wikipedia (MediaWiki), but with different scopes. For example, there is an Art Wiki, which is a “Wikipedia” that only contains content about art. Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else! Globe (talk) 00:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Question from IulianArian (13:45, 12 June 2025)
Hi, I have a question... For how many days does my wiki has to be inactive for it to be deleted? --IulianArian (talk) 13:45, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- We don’t automatically delete wikis for inactivity as of right now. If it comes to a point where we need the additional storage space, it would probably need to go 6+ months with no edits to be deleted. Globe (talk) 19:04, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
Question from Wikiball (00:27, 14 June 2025)
Hello, Zippybonzo, I have one question, are Countryballs allowed on WikiOasis if they're used in a politically neutral way? --Wikiball (talk) 00:27, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Not Zippybonzo, but I am a steward and I don’t see why this would be a problem. As long as it would follow the content policy, it should be allowed. Specifically, I would make sure that it remains compliant with our prohibition on toxicity. Globe (talk) 01:21, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
Question from IulianArian (18:36, 22 June 2025)
Is there a problem with the Portable Infobox extension? Because for me the Special:InfoboxBuilder page doesn't load. I've tried everything, refreshing the page, deleting cookies, everything! But nothing... And yes, I do have the extension enabled. --IulianArian (talk) 18:36, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- @IulianArian, what wiki is this occuring on? --zippybonzo (c • ca) 08:39, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
- It's occurring on my wiki, iulianarian.wikioasis.org IulianArian (talk) 11:05, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
- @IulianArian can't reproduce, open a phorge ticket with a video if you can to help me debug it. --zippybonzo (c • ca) 11:51, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

Question from Rrd257r (03:39, 27 June 2025)
Hello. I was wondering if it's okay to create a wiki to use as a sort of personal knowledge manager. --Rrd257r (talk) 03:39, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, that is absolutely okay! Globe (talk) 03:43, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
Question from BTB Studio Code (16:06, 11 July 2025)
Hello! Would it be possible to make the Wiki looks relatively the same in both mobile and on phone, since it currently appears bugged with my Wiki to render to far to the right. I also have noticed a very difficult time navigating your website, and changing my settings, so that's just something to note, but how would I add a custom CSS to my web page? Since it currently appears I'm limited, and unable to set a background image for it? And sorry for so many questions at once, but where are the rules for the wiki supposed to be, are you allowed to link other wiki's, and it appears that the home button is bugged on certain themes, such as the Citizen theme it appears in dark it renders as a square in Arch Linux, it also seems like I'm unable to edit my page in my phone, would my users have to deal with that issue as well? --BTB Studio Code (talk) 16:06, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- I think it's because of a missing image with Citizen. Otherwise you have to set minerva as the default for both desktop and mobile if you want them to look the same, vector isn't really a good mobile skin. --zippybonzo (c • ca) 18:29, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Okay, I meant whatever skin my wiki was using, I spaced out on the name, sorry. But as well as that may you answer a few of the previous questions pertaining to my Wiki, or at least stylizing it, and editing it BTB Studio Code (talk) 19:01, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
Question from Kiragecko (17:58, 11 July 2025)
Any major differences between here and Fandom? I've made and edited wikis before, but only there. --Kiragecko (talk) 17:58, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Generally more customisable, no adverts and we don't force the fandom skin onto you lol --zippybonzo (c • ca) 18:28, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Ooh, I LIKE these differences! (Which are why I'm here!) Kiragecko (talk) 20:11, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Glad to hear! Wanted to pop by and say welcome—your request is approved. Thank you for choosing WikiOasis! Globe (talk) 20:17, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
