Wikkii has to do it.

They usually need demand from other people too.  They also can't install it if it needs database changes.  You can though if you have an advanced hosted wiki.

I think you got it.  You use the special create box template that comes with the backup system, and you can make multiple auto loading layouts for new pages by adding more create boxes with corresponding templates.

I see your point about the extension being good for page creation through URLs to non existent pages, although I don't think that's too common among inexperienced users, and I think experienced users would go through the proper channels to create pages.  You could create a page like Project:Article creation and include all the create boxes on it and post links to that page on the main page and on the welcome template for new users.  The only time I ever had a problem with people not using the proper create boxes to appropriately categorize their work was when it turned out that they were just a troll who had been plagiarizing stories and user bios from fanfiction.net; the stories have been deleted.  I think the extension would have its place though.  As long as it doesn't require database changes, I think it's doable.

We have a backup system at the Hub Wiki that does the same thing; all you do is export and import the pages to add the backup system.  I'd say the Wikkii Backup System is better because the new page templates automatically appear and don't require users to select them.

The staff also doesn't install MediaWiki either, but it's very simple; here's the directions:

1) Go to the database section of the cpanel.
2) Create a database.
3) Create a database user.
4) Give it full privileges.
5) Add the user to the database.

Installing MediaWiki:

1) Download the software from mediawiki.org.
2) Upload the file.
3) Extract/uncompress the files.
4) Rename the folder that the MediaWiki files are in awawiki, or whatever else your want, if you want.
5) Go to awa.wikkii.net and click on the link to the folder that MediaWiki is in.
6) Follow the directions that are given.

You can also join community.wikkii.net to help increase knowledge of your wiki and help membership and the community.  I'm looking to get all of the Wikkii wikis working together.

The backup system for Farmer wikis is explained here:

http://hub.wikkii.com/wiki/Wikkii_Backup_System

I think it could be useful to create a moderator group on the farmer wikis.  The abilities that it could have would be the ability to delete and move pages, rollback, and the oversight abilities to hide revisions and logs, but not to view them (moderators are like this at Sturmkrieg).  This would be useful for wiki admins who want to give users the ability to remove content, but restrict the number of people who can have access to content hidden for privacy or legal reasons.  It would also be good to have a user group that has some admin abilities to regulate content, but without the ability to block users since abuse of adminship is not uncommon, particularly on smaller, freely hosted wikis.

If anyone else would like to have this user group, please indicate that you would.

This is the right place, however, if the extension requires database changes, it is very unlikely it will be installed.

You can always apply for advanced hosting though.

I'm sure Wikkii will delete this.  We've had problems in the past with people setting up wikis for harassment, but they get deleted pretty quick as soon as someone reports it.

Could you please give me advice for setting up the app?  I have the extension setup, but nothing happens when the login button is clicked.

Sometimes the owner of Wikkii is busy for several days.

You are not being ignored, and I am sure Wikkii will take action as soon as he is back.

I've had trouble sometimes too, but requests always go through.  If you're concerned, you could submit a second form.  Also, posting here always helps.

Is it a problem with something on a wiki here?  Wikkii has been very good in the past about removing wikis that have objectionable content.  Is it something that you could mention here?

I think you could set it to that.  You'd need to access the farmer at wikkii.com.  It's http://www.wikkii.com/wiki/Special:Farmer/create .  However, using it is discouraged and I'm not sure if it's still accessible.

It's definitely  a good idea to move to advanced hosting.  For one thing, you aren't out of luck if you ever lose bureaucrat access.  It's just a lot better.  Also, once you've got at least one ADVH wiki, it's easier to get another once it's clear that you'll actually set them up.

If Wikkii has the tools to do that, I'm sure they can.  I know the cpanel for users has an easy way of seeing the IP of users who edit or visit, I think.  The best thing to do if you want to fight sock puppets is to get an advanced hosted wiki and install Check User.

You would need and advanced hosted wiki for that.

You don't have to have a user base to have an advanced hosted wiki.  I don't think you actually need one to apply anymore, although it helps for getting approved.  If you've been with Wikkii for a while and you're reliable about getting stuff done, all you need to do is ask.  I also don't think you need to have a user base or edit regularly to keep the wiki, but you need to make sure that it doesn't get spammed.

wikiname.wikkii.net/en is definitely possible; it's just a matter of creating a folder.

I haven't enabled account creation on the canon ones yet, but you can register on the main English site if you want.

Thanks.

I just took a look at the cpanel, and it doesn't look like there's a way to create a subdomain for wikkii.net, only for community.wikkii.net .  I'll see if there's any way that Wikkii could add one.

Your email address?  What do you need help with?

I would like to make a link to a page from the account creation page that can help users with the information that they should add.  I would like it so that it will always open separately so that it can be safely opened when there is already content added to the form.
