Re: [Wikimedia-l] Where did noboards go

[Erlend Bjørtvedt]

Hi,

I have posted the upload issue in the same thread as the already fixed
issue.

It is still not possible to upload images. This is a major problem to us,
sine we use it alot for confidential documents, financials, etc.

Fine if someone more technical could do some guesswork on what might cause
the noboard site to not accept uploading.

Thanks,
Erlend

The best contact point for tech issues like these is Bugzilla
. The system administrators watch for
new bugs and should be able to solve problems you run into. I've also
CC'ed Sam Reed on this message, since he was the one who moved the
wiki and might know what you're asking about.

When you say "admin rights", do you mean the local
administrators/bureaucrats on the wiki? Does no one have advanced user
rights at the moment? If so, stewards can modify user rights if you
leave a request at [[m:SRP]]. The database name should be
"noboard_chapterswikimedia".

Hi Erlend,

Have you filed a request on bugzilla yet? That would generally be the right
place for all technical config requests (or issues you run into).

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Where did noboards go

[Erlend Bjørtvedt]

I am sorry,

but an admin at MediaWiki (?) needs to enable upload to the noboards site.

We use this site to store all our documents relating to accounting,
salaries, tax, etc.

After the troubles mentioned, it is not any more possible to upload
anything to this site.

Do anyone have any idea of who, where, and how this admin rights can be
changed so that we can upload?

I am sorry to bother l-list with this, but at WMF and Meta there aren't any
contact infos for this, whatsoever.


best regards

This has since been fixed by Sam Reed. See the bug for more information.

The new site address is  and
previous links might not work, so make sure everyone with access to
the wiki knows to update their bookmarks.
