Do you ever plan on fixing the wiki?
It's been a while now and nothing has been fixed, how long will this be?

--Tankman fan 44 (talk) 04:13, 1 July 2022 (CEST)
 * Honestly, I don't ever have the time due to working 40+ hours a week. I do still fix or patch minor stuff and as I'm not sure I know of every bug on the wiki, I may make a JIRA. Lawiki1534 (talk) 03:10, 2 July 2022 (CEST)
 * completely understandable. The only bugs I have noticed are that I can't see the add to watchlist button and the hover previews dont work. There might be more but for now that's all I've managed to spot.

Delete this account
Please delete my old account and ill make myself a new one; and it will be named User:Nouxia. --SkyBl ueCat  (talk) 09:37, 7 July 2022 (CEST)
 * And also can i have a permission to edit articles? --Nouxia (talk) 09:48, 7 July 2022 (CEST)
 * You can't delete accounts on MediaWiki, but I did courtesy vanish you. Lawiki1534 (talk) 04:11, 8 July 2022 (CEST)

Why
Why did you delete my page I spend along time working on it
 * I didn't think it counted as a shock site. Lawiki1534 (talk) 03:57, 29 July 2022 (CEST)

I'm thinking of removing the featured poll
I see we have ran out of poll ideas and nobody cares about the polls anymore. I'm considering maybe replacing it with "Featured Media", that is, a video, image, or maybe even a news article related to content on this site. Thoughts? --Pmb1226 (talk)  23:29, 15 August 2022 (CEST)
 * Possibly, but polls do help engagement. Lawiki1534 (talk) 00:17, 16 August 2022 (CEST)

IP banning
What's with the ip bans? They only last for one day before it becomes available again? --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * That's the MediaWiki autoblock default. If you need to ban for longer, just CheckUser them and ban their ip separately. Angeleno (talk) 13:05, 18 August 2022 (PDT)

hazomo is a gigantic prick
recently this morning one of the screamer wiki discord members (pickadeli) came out saying that was being manipulated by fergi one of the members asked hazomo to ban fergi hazomo kept making fun of this situation and he did not take it seriously he ended up banning me, qx1. pickadeli and one more who i don't remember his name he also purged the main chat to get rid of the evidence unban us and ban this selfish motherfucker
 * Hazomo's been banned, you (and everyone else) has been unbanned. Angeleno (talk) 03:48, 10 September 2022 (MST)

Quick question
What does the japanese text on this logo say? --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * "Screamer Wiki" Angeleno (talk) 18:47, 17 October 2022 (MST)

Should visual editor be disabled?
It messes up the comments on pages and some new editors might not understand.

Tankman fan 44 (talk) 09:10, 4 November 2022 (MST)
 * Probably not. Angeleno (talk) 12:01, 4 November 2022 (MST)

Early revisions

 * [[File:2011_revision.png]]

How could Template:Bigcat be imported in 2011? Mediawiki glitch? --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * I think it's because the template was imported from wikipedia, so older edits appear. Angeleno (talk) 00:33, 5 November 2022 (MST)

Favicon request

 * Ghost.png

Because this edited version with the color tint appears in the site logo, I feel it makes sense to have this version instead of the standard one we currently have. What do you think? --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * I changed it. We'll see how it looks. Angeleno (talk) 18:34, 5 November 2022 (MST)

Share feature
I was reading about ways to increase seo and web traffic and found that adding a share button increases the number of views on a page and overall traffic. There's a mediawiki extension here which allows a page to be easily shared to any social media via the sidebar. It says it's in development but its still worth a try + its very useful.

Also the favicon still remains the same even after it was changed, kinda strange --Pmb1226 (talk)


 * You can turn the extension off, I added the links somewhere else --Pmb1226 (talk)

Goatse404
Do you have the goatse 404 image without the drawn hands? I can try to edit it better. --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * Here you go. File:404NoGoatse.png Angeleno (talk) 18:14, 23 November 2022 (MST)

Bitchute
What happened to Screamer Wiki's bitchute channel and why was it banned? --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * It was banned supposedly for harassment. We tried to appeal, but they never responded. Angeleno (talk) 05:36, 11 December 2022 (MST)
 * Where there videos on the channel? And who did we interact with that they found "harassing". --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * Yes, however, most of the videos were crossposted to YouTube, Odysee, or the wiki directly. We didn't interact with anyone there, but I guess BitChute viewers didn't like screamers and shock sites on the main page. It was the Screamreuploads channel.

Polls
I've noticed that logged out users are not able to vote on the featured poll, thus why results are so low. Can this be fixed? --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * That was deliberate. There is a bug currently on AJAXPoll (and with comments) where all logged out users, instead of having a unique actor ID, their actor ID gets set to 0 meaning that someone without an account with an IP address of 192.168.0.1 that attempts to vote on a poll that anonymous user 174.33.198.2 voted on, will show to 192.168.0.1 that they already voted, despite never doing so, due to both of their actor IDs being 0.
 * This was a bug with these extensions since MediaWiki 1.35 if I recall correctly. I attempted to fix it myself or install an older version, but that was not feasible. Angeleno (talk) 21:27, 11 December 2022 (MST)

CommentStream
I found a comment extension which is newer and not buggy/severly vulnerable like the one we currently have: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CommentStreams Should it be implemented? --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * It's been tested in the past. The reasons for removing it at the time was due to the extension using your Full Name (if entered) instead of your username. There is no documentation on how to change it. Angeleno (talk) 21:59, 14 December 2022 (MST)
 * Fixed it. It's still unfortunate that you have to change a line in the code (CommentStreamsFactory.php) to do it. Angeleno (talk) 22:38, 14 December 2022 (MST)

Name change
Can you change my name into "Likeicare"? Special:RenameUser gives me an error. --IT (talk) 07:37, 1 February 2023 (MST)
 * THat's the thing with the rename tool. You cannot rename yourself with it. Renamed. Angeleno (talk) 08:19, 1 February 2023 (MST)

Logo idea
Is this fitting? https://screamer.wiki/File:Screamer_Logo.png


 * I don't think so. Not sure what the tophhat means either. Angeleno (talk) 18:13, 11 February 2023 (MST)
 * How's this?
 * https://screamer.wiki/File:Screamer_Logo.png --Pmb1226 (talk)
 * That one's better, for sure. Although the ghost has become an iconic part of the wiki. Angeleno (talk) 11:14, 12 February 2023 (MST)
 * It is under copyright, and Apple could sue for using it without paying. In case this happens, the new one can be used as a backup. --Pmb1226 (talk)
