MediaWikiChat API
Hi UltrasonicNXT, great to see MediaWikiChat up on MediaWiki.org. :) If you'd like, I could add some info about the API actions that can be used in chat onto the extension page. Would you want me to do that? --GeorgeBarnick (talk) 21:19, 12 December 2013 (UTC)


 * +1 to what George wrote above. :D The next step would probably be to get it added to translatewiki.net so that it can be translated into multiple languages.


 * Also, can haz extension-MediaWikiChat group membership plz? (You might also want to consider requesting a Brickimedia gerrit group, à la our ShoutWiki group &mdash; it can be pretty handy at times!) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:26, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
 * yeah, of course. How do I add you though? All the options are greyed out... UltrasonicNXT (talk)


 * I was going to ask if you are logged in to gerrit, but then I remembered that the /admin/* pages aren't even shown (!) to anonymous users...so you must be logged in and yet the fields are grayed out &mdash; that sounds like there's a problem with the repository's or the group's permission, because on ShoutWiki's group page, the fields are not grayed out and I'm able to add people to the group. Maybe you could ask for help/second opinion in #mediawiki/#wikimedia-dev and poke Chad about this, since he maintains the git repositories and knows a bit more about 'em than I ever will. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:30, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Chad's added you :) UltrasonicNXT (talk)

BlogPage
Hi there! I was told I should make you aware of this: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66090 - I genuinely hope it's of your interest. Cheers, --Lumario (talk) 21:56, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah it is, thanks for that. UltrasonicNXT (talk)

ArticleRatings Extension
Hi UltrasonicNXT, I find the ArticleRatings Extension is must-be on my mediawiki site. I installed it, but don't know how to configure parameters,MediaWiki:Ratings, MediaWiki:Rating-default, andMediaWiki:Rating-box. Would you give some examples? --211.208.70.169 02:10, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

WikiForums
Hello. I'm having a really annoying issue with the WikiForums. Even though I am a bureaucrat, sysop & forumadmin, I still cannot create a forum as I get the error:  You don't have the rights to perform this action.

And I don't know what is going wrong, or if it is a bug or merely an incorrect setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rinzler135 (talk) 10:21, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Also, sorry for editing an already existing section, but I am using a mobile browser and I couldn't make a new one.


 * No problem. Now, I can create a forum fine on my test wiki, so this may need some investigation. Any chance of a URL to your wiki? Are you running the latest version of WikiForum? UltrasonicNXT (talk)

CAPTCHA for WikiForum
Hi, can you have a look here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:WikiForum#Spam_Protection Can you add a CAPTCHA-function ? --hollosch (talk) 23:11, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I've been pretty inactive lately and to be honest, I don't think I have time for this right now. Is disabling anon posting not a solution? Sorry. UltrasonicNXT (talk)
 * Hi, disable anon posting is not a solution because i want the user to post without register... can you have a look if it is possible to captcha - this will be soo great.

another prob is to delete the spam-threads - look here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:WikiForum#Error_when_deleting_a_thread --hollosch (talk) 16:37, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I am working on a CAPTCHA solution now. UltrasonicNXT (talk)

Could WikiForum be made to work with the WikiEditor and/or VisualEditor?
It would be really useful if it could utilize either of these extensions. Thanks, BradLeeBH (talk) 07:35, 27 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmm, good ideas. I'm not too active with WF at the mo, but when some time crops up I'll have a look. UltrasonicNXT (talk)
 * Should work with WikiEditor now. UltrasonicNXT (talk)

wikiforum recover deleted threads/replies
I was wondering if it was at all possible to add in the ability for mods and administrators to undelete threads and replies? All the features currently available is great, just that deleted threads/replies are not logged in either the forum or delete logs and that its not possible to recover them to the original condition. You have done a fantastic job with the rewrite so far.

Adding in a notification when threads or replied too would be helpful. --35.20.145.22 04:23, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
