Hi Darius
Hi Darius! Thanks so much for helping us out. If you have any technical questions on the list of tasks, feel free to ask myself or User:Notjusttired, since we are the two people who requested most of the tasks. Also, please let us know when it’s safe to test out the fixes. Thanks again!

Namespace “MEpedia:” is inaccessible
Hi Darius. I noticed today that all pages in the “MEpedia:” namespace have become inaccessible. I wonder if this is because of my request to make sure that “MEpedia” is a member of $wgExtraNamespaces in LocalSettings.php. Since “MEpedia” is already defined as the project namespace, it may in fact not belong in $wgExtraNamespaces after all. Does this make sense? Thanks.
Pyrrhus (talk) 17:12, 11 May 2019 (EDT)
Hi Pyrrhus! I removed the code where I added "MEpedia" to the $wgExtraNamespaces in LocalSettings.php. I suppose it should fix this issue. You may check it now to make sure it did. Thanks. --DariusC (talk) 12:55, 15 May 2019 (EDT)
- Yup, that fixed it! Thanks, Darius! If you need any help troubleshooting the failure of MEpedia to send out emails, let me know. If you provide a copy of the LocalSettings.php file I might be able to pinpoint the error in the email setup. (My email is ericpyrrhus@gmail.com and any encryption key, if needed, can be sent from Ben to me through the secure Slack channel.) Thanks again.

- Hey Pyrrhus! Thanks for help. I just emailed you a copy of the LocalSettings.php file cause Jaime told me you asked for it. If you have something that you consider helpful, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks again.

Minor, low-priority task
Here is a super easy, but lowest priority task, for whenever. For more information on this task, see https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DismissableSiteNotice#Usage
In DismissableSiteNotice.php, could you change the following one line of extension code: $id = intval( $wgMajorSiteNoticeID ) . "." . intval( wfMsgForContent( 'sitenotice_id' ) ); to: $id = intval( $wgMajorSiteNoticeID ) . "." . crc32( wfMsgForContent( 'sitenotice' ) );
American dates and ReplaceText extension
Hi Darius. Have you got the American dates setting set to true, we would like dates in the form MM DD, YYYY (or M D, YYYY) so month before day. I don't know how to check the setting from this end and I think it might be the cause of some citation errors we are getting.
Also, you can let me know when the ReplaceText extension is installed and configured? Thanks. notjusttired (talk) 17:06, 15 May 2019 (EDT)
- Hi notjusttired! I just want to let you know that I set the dates to American dates and I also installed the ReplaceText extension. You can check if you want. Thanks!

LocalSettings.php
Hi again. Can you give me an update on change requested for LocalSettings.php: (removed requests that have been sorted now) $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault = [
NS_MAIN => true, NS_FILE => true,
];
It looks like the Help namespace is allowing Visual Editor but not MEpedia (MEpedia is now accessible again), and the Files namespace is not searchable by default. I can't tell on the double redirects setting.
Thanks again notjusttired (talk)
- Hi! I added that code to the LocalSettings.php so now the File namespace should be searchable by default.

LocalSettings.php #2
Please add this after the AddThis extension loads (without the pre tag):
$wgAddThispubid = 'ra-5cdfe8dacb9028fa';
Hopefully the sharing icons on the left sidebar will then show up using Pivot or Timeless skins. Thanks notjusttired (talk) 09:45, 18 May 2019 (EDT)
- Hey! I added the AddThis id to the LocalSettings.php file, so the problem should be fixed now. Thanks!

Clarification
Hi Darius! I believe there is a request on the list to implement a way for users to skip CAPTCHA after making 50 edits. In case it helps, the easiest way to do that is to add the following to the end of LocalSettings.php:
$wgAutoConfirmCount = 50; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['skipcaptcha'] = true;
