How is Wikitide different from Miraheze?
Hello, Wikitide.

I am here because I was wondering what the differences between Wikitide and Miraheze are. Person16384 (talk) 03:29, 31 July 2023‎ (UTC)
 * Miraheze is funded only by donations. WikiTide is funded by donations and by WikiForge.
 * Special:Interwiki at Miraheze is view only, on WikiTide it's view and edit
 * It's still early days but uptime and response, compared with Checkly --Rob Kam (talk) 13:44, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * In my experience, at this time WikiTide is less responsive when editing. --Rob Kam (talk) 13:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Internal Error for JSON Pages
When I try to access a page whose text format is of type JSON (or any pages named xxx.json), the following error pops up:

I want to know, what caused the error? Is there any solution?

 * Lingo caused the error. I have disabled it globally and will file a bug report. For reference, the error was "Error: Call to a member function getPageProperties on null". Agent Isai (talk) 00:28, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Cannot access Special:ManageWiki/settings
I have had issues with this all day, every time I open the page I get Internal error: fatal exception of type "TypeError", I can access every other ManageWiki page besides this one. Ladybinah (talk) 20:40, 21 August 2023 (UTC)


 * This is now fixed. I apologize for the issue. Agent Isai (talk) 04:23, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Deleting username and becoming an admin of a new wiki
Hello, I created an account with a misspelled username,  how can I delete that user? With that bad user I requested a wiki. I want to make sure my new user account is a administrator of that new wiki once approved. How can I become a administrator of a new wiki. Later I would like multiple contributors to have access to this new WIKI. Thanks
 * Thank you for reaching out, this situation does not require creating a separate user account, you can solve this problem by logging in as the misspelled user account and requesting a global rename at Special:GlobalRenameRequest --NotAracham (talk) 04:06, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * EDIT: I see you already created an account with your preferred username. As your original request was declined for needing more details to be approvable, please instead file an updated request with the new account.  --NotAracham (talk) 04:10, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you NotArcham for your response,
 * I made a new request under the new account!
 * have a blessed day! NoLongerOnTheBall (talk) 17:59, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Wiki not found
Hello, Wikitide Today (9/6/2023) I've been seeing allot of Wiki not found problems. Not only on my page but the wikitide.com and meta.wikitide.com pages


 * Thanks for the report, we're in the midst of transitioning our back-end tech solutions to mitigate these problems, among others.
 * I'm optimistic this will soon be a thing of the past. --NotAracham (talk) 15:15, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

User rights - limited to specific users?
Hello can a wiki be protected so that guests and users do not have permission to edit pages -- the only way to edit a page is for an Administrator or bureaucrat to specifically add a user to the administrators or bureaucrats list. this will be to prevent anyone from Editing or deleting without being 1st an approved content contributor. Thanks
 * If you're interested in limiting editing only to admins/bureaucrats, you'll need to first navigate to the Special:ManageWiki/permissions page on your wiki. Select the Bureaucrats and Administrators roles, adding the edit permission currently found under unassigned permissions to each.  Once that's done, update the (everyone) and Users roles, removing the edit permission from assigned permissions. --NotAracham (talk) 15:27, 9 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay, I have that change made. Thank you.
 * How can I get new users on my wiki now?
 * new users are only seeing a Login link. No Sign-up link.
 * How can a visitor setup their own new user? (and then later I can add them to the administrators group so they can Edit.)
 * thank you NoLongerOnTheBall (talk) 21:03, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * NotAracham,
 * nevermind - I think I figured it out! NoLongerOnTheBall (talk) 21:28, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Unable to move a page
I was unable to move a page - https://meta.wikitide.org/wiki/Viaggiare_le_ferrorvie_del_Messico. - which I simply wanted to rename as it contains an error. The error message stated that the desired action had been suppressed due to security reasons. Is there nothing that I can do about?
 * Hi Robert, WikiTide Meta is a hub wiki for requests related to the WikiTide hosting service, and should not be used for creating random test pages. I'll remove those on your behalf, please create these either on your own wiki (letteratura.wikitide.org) or a  wiki designed for MediaWiki testing such as https://publictestwiki.com/ --NotAracham (talk) 19:57, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
