 * Talk pages are pretty effective when the subject of discussion is... the contents of the wiki page itself. For example on this talk page you might say something like "I don't really like the spiders example. It's a bit silly. How can we improve it?". That is an example of a good on-topic discussion to have here.
 * Now you seem to be asking a question about configuring MediaWiki. Probably this relates to "Skins", so go check out the Manual:Skins page. If you find that manual page unclear, you might leave a comment on Manual talk:Skins. That might be a useful way for you to help us improve our manual.
 * ...however, if you are asking a newbie question about configuring mediawiki then you could head over to the Project:Support desk or look at other Communication alternatives. That is a more effective way of getting help.
 * Hope that helps

WikiText
Wikitext is difficult to get started with. Any suggestions on practicing? I do not have access to Sandbox yet! Laura trout13:31, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous users can edit/create only talk pages
Hello

Question: How can I keep anonymous users limited to editing/creating only talk pages?

Answer: With these options: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edittalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = true;

Question: and if I don't want the anonymous user to have permission to create a discussion page?

Answer: use this option:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false;

How can I protect all pages with the exception of talk pages from the anonymous user? Maybe auto protect newly created pages?

People taking oaths...and more
I have just skimmed everything because I am not a techie and do not understand most of it. What I do understand a bit about is people. People who want to do bad things will not mind taking an oath that they have no intentions of adhering to. I think an oath may provide a false sense of security unless there are repercussions for violating the oath.

The reason I am on this site is because when I read about how India shuts down the Internet locally when there are demonstrations in various cities, it occurred to me that something similar could happen here if the circumstances were right. That prompted me to email my kids to ask whether it would be possible for us to start a second type of Internet that could not be controlled in this way. One of my kids pointed me to your site. She told me the basic idea is for people to link to each other locally and that a multitude of these local links would all sooner or later span the globe.

I hope sooner or later you will put some info in a very user-friendly format for people like me who are interested, love using the Internet and don't want to lose access to it, but who are not programmers nor computer engineers.

Thanks! 2601:603:1C80:5650:7D80:7627:737C:DFAB 05:11, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

African Community Burial Rights, On 2nd January 2016 my mother Ezinne Victoria Ugbodo Dimkpa Dike Osuagwu Nwagwuimo joined her ancestors at exactly 6:25pm.
Present state of affairs in Africa though most especially in Nigeria led to a christian burial of the surviving daughter of a first chief of blessed memory in person of Late Eze Anyamele Nwachukwu Onyeokoro of Nguru Nwenkwo in Aboh Mbaise Imo State. My late mother had told me not to do anything that could lead to a non christian burial for her. She told me how her father had brought the first church into Mbaise and how the missionaries placed him in the front line of saints eventhough he was a naturalist and monarch. I did however obey my mothers wish to the latter as I made every arrangements for her interment which was concluded on 23rd january 2016 in view of the mission`s order to bury christians within three weeks of their exit. All these were carried out and the proper Community burial followed in succession and uninterrupted. My maternal relations were to be given their three goats and two fowls and twenty one cannons heralded my kinsmen`s arrival at my grandfather`s compound. Other formalities were observed and food and drinks were served them and these involved sixteen cartons of beer, sixteen jars of palm wine sixteen kolanuts and bountiful cash. The d-day took the course of Community Burial and the entire Community friends relations well wishers and colleagues of all walks of life were live in my compound for the final interment. The rest of rituals were to be completed in exactly one year from the date of death which was to be on 2nd January 2017 but owing to circumstances above mentioned, I extended it to 7th January 2018 which was just two days ago and my seven days cleansing and purification is ongoing hence I consider commiting the ceremony to everlasting record to guide and educate progeny and for posterity.
