What is this service's Terms of Use?
I am the founding admin of a wiki on Miraheze, and am looking for an alternate wiki host. However, I am not willing to let the wiki host do simply anything with our intellectual property.

As I post this, your Terms of Use -- the contract between WikiTide and its customers -- read, in total, "Coming soon... "

Please let me know when you have actual Terms of Use and are thus ready to accept customers.

 * This is a detail that should have been worked out prior to a public presence, but, c'est la vie. It will likely be modified further but this is as close to what's available right now. I've taken the liberty to make the original Terms of Use more usable but this is not backed by official statements or professional review, and WikiTide functionaries will need to take point sooner than later. --Raidarr (talk) 09:34, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The Terms of Use page is now in place, effective June 20, 2023 (today).  Luciferian Thomas  09:10, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Footer button
I made a potential footer button for all of WikiTide. I will likely make one for WikiForge as well. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 22:08, 19 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Appreciate it, though WikiForge doesn't need one, I don't think we'll use one there. Universal Omega (talk) 23:16, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Is there an entry point for importing ManageWiki Settings?
I mean, the ManageWiki setup that I exported in a Wiki in Miraheze, I want to use in a Wiki with the same name that I created here, but I don't know how to import it, is there any entry or method? --Rosalina129 (talk) 04:40, 20 June 2023 (UTC)


 * We can import it for you. Please make a request at https://support.wikiforge.net. Agent Isai (talk) 05:35, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

About MediaWiki Internal Error
The accident Wiki: unrealneowikitide

After processing Import ManageWiki and file dump for unrealneowikitide request, I will try to access the Wiki, Browser prompt: MediaWiki internal error. Original exception: [9f1edb3680bfb3d339b5aa0c] 2023-06-20 17:06:47: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError" Exception caught inside exception handler. Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information. Can someone who is senior tell me why this is happening? I can't even access my own Wiki because of this error (with one exception, Only after log out into Main Page(In Chinese), other places are inaccessible, even can't login or create accounts)

If this issue needs a request, can you remind me for a moment? Thank you very much.

 * This is fixed and was due to Translate being enabled when ManageWiki backups were restored but SQL was bypassed. Agent Isai (talk) 20:12, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Gazetteer
Will there be a gazetteer like on miraheze? Thank you 😊. Nuze (talk) 05:55, 22 June 2023 (UTC)


 * The Miraheze Gazetteer was a troubled project that did not accurately represent the farm's offerings and fell constantly out of date. To be honest it may be best to leave it behind and strongly encourage the far more versatile Special:WikiDiscover instead. But ideas to overcome some of the Gazetteer's constant issues could help. I believe these issues mainly came down to being tedious to update and unintuitive organization. Note that wiki operators can (and should!) offer descriptions of their wiki content in the way the Gazetteer did through their local Special:ManageWiki page. --Raidarr (talk) 11:19, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Wiki farm comparison
Is anyone making an essay about the comparison showing every aspect differently between WikiTide (note that this site is a part of WikiForge), Miraheze, and FANDOM? - The Harvett Vault | he/him | user | talk - 10:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC); edited: 11:11, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe such a comparison would be premature until this farm is more off the ground and Miraheze has a more clear long term idea of its future. But if someone wants to start a draft essay it wouldn't hurt. --Raidarr (talk) 11:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That explains a lot; one more thing is the content policy has additional restrictions, unlike Miraheze. - The Harvett Vault | he/him | user | talk - 00:59, 23 June 2023 (UTC); edited: 01:01, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Fandom sucks Miraheze / WikiTide is the goat. Rob Kam (talk) 11:36, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Just focusing on the business and moderation practices and technical reasons for FANDOM's sides, which has numerous flaws starting from the past until now; I concur with that. - The Harvett Vault | he/him | user | talk - 09:11, 3 July 2023 (UTC); edited: 22:54, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Sitemap
Are we getting sitemaps for our own sites? I was thinking of showing my wiki in google search engine results. খাত্তাব হাসান (talk) 10:55, 22 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Yep, the URL entrypoint for sitemaps can be accessed via https:// .wikitide.com/sitemap.xml, replacing with the one appropriate for your wiki.

bnwv is reverted to default settings without specifying a reason
I just completed the initial steps of this wiki. But the wiki's enabled extension is disabled without specifying any reason. I am not even able to reactivate them. Besides, the language has also changed to English; I couldn't find anything in the wiki's logs for this action, and I saw an action by Agent Isai in the global log, but didn't understand anything.

Can I know about the matter?

I would like to mention @Universal Omega & @Agent Isai with respect. খাত্তাব হাসান (talk) 16:22, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Can't set my preferences in my Wiki
Hi, I try to update my preferences in the wiki, but it gave me an error and couldn't save the preferences. Notice I have posted here also.

--preceding unsigned comment from Kyant
 * Per comment from Universal Omega on your ticket, this should now be resolved. --NotAracham (talk) 22:01, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

About Translation and fork
Perhaps this is the result of using the default Miraheze extensions, but many translations on my site appear that related to Miraheze. Like written in Bengali, donate to Mirahaze and on default Main Page, there is a contact link of mirahaze's discord/twitter etc. I think we should start our own fork and translation.খাত্তাব হাসান (talk) 05:08, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

What happened to the wikitide logo?
I used to be able to see all of it on meta, but now I can only see the lower left corner of it. Was it magnified for some reason?


 * Yes, the logo was changed, actually accepted by the community. ~ খাত্তাব হাসান (About  ‧  Talk) 12:11, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * There's an error, no doubt it will be resized soon. Rob Kam (talk) 19:11, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Where to ask for tech support on WikiTide?
This is not clearly indicated on Meta's Main page - If there's something not functioning as expected on my wiki, where do I ask for it to be fixed, please? Rob Kam (talk) 16:37, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It's explained at Help center, but that's not linked from Main page either. Rob Kam (talk) 18:44, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, apologies, we will improve documentation accessible at some point. Just taking time. Universal Omega (talk) 00:25, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Wikilinks with &amp;, &quest; and &percnt; in them don't work on WikiTide.
On WikiTide, in the source editor, wikilinks with the characters &, ? and % in them don't go to pages with those names, e.g. On Wikipedia, Fandom and Miraheze Itchy & Scratchy gets converted in the browser address bar to Itchy_%26_Scratchy, here on Meta it's Itchy_?_Scratchy. --Rob Kam (talk) 17:14, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Itchy & Scratchy and Itchy ? Scratchy - both go to a page Itchy here. On Fandom, Wikipedia and Miraheze these go to page Itchy & Scratchy or Itchy ? Scratchy.
 * Itchy % Scratchy - goes to 400 Bad Request here and on Fandom. On Wikipedia and Miraheze these go to page Itchy % Scratchy.
 * This should now be fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience. Universal Omega (talk) 20:16, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's fine now. Thank you. Rob Kam (talk) 20:35, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Are Recent changes down right now?
I've noticed that RecentChanges doesn't seem to be working for me on the Pocket Dragons wiki or on any wiki for that matter - I know WikiTide is still new, so is it something that's already been reported and/or worked on? Or is there a setting I've made that's stopping me from seeing them? Sora (talk) 17:56, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
