Hi. If you would like to test the wiki, use the Sandbox instead of creating real articles. -- Tegel 11:36, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In fact I tried just that - I'm writing an agent (using api.php) that converts doc files to wiki pages. However, I got the message that I need protect right to edit the Test Sandbox page... Is there a way around that? I will blank the page Test2 when my tests are finished, of course. --Fuchs 11:44, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't need any special right to edit the sandbox. And the other problem is that even if you blank the page it doesn't disappear. It will still be there. Can you use your user page User:Fuchs for this? -- Tegel 11:48, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure thing, I'll use my user page. Is there something similar to the Sandbox for file uploads? Location that gets deleted regularly? Thanks. --Fuchs 11:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. I don't think that this is a place for this type of tests. My suggestion is that you download the Mediawiki software and install it on your own server. Then you can do all the tests with full access. Maybe you can get some help on these pages: User hub, Sysadmin hub or Developer hub. -- Tegel 12:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I have done that already, and it works fine. But it's still interesting to see if we could also post articles on public wikis with my converter, you see :)? I'll have a look at the developer hub though. Cheers. -- Fuchs 12:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Fuchs. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fuchs~mediawikiwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:30, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
