How to  make a template in which, if I enter the parameter "1", one text will be displayed (not the number 1, but, say, the word "Hello"), and if I enter "2", the word "Bye" will be displayed? In short: if the variable is 1, then there will be one text in the template, if the variable is 2, then another text.

== Question ==

Hi, 

I have a question regarding the wiki farm: how did you guys manage to create it? I've been wanting to create one myself, I've read the tutorial on MediaWiki, but I just keep getting errors. Mind sharing some general guide?

thanks [[Special:Contributions/104.234.212.39|104.234.212.39]] 03:31, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

==Monobook request==
[[mh:piklodex]]
SkyWiki lacks options for wiki skins. Can we at least have Monobook as both an optional skin and allow users to choose them as default for their wiki? I made  right now and noticed there's no Monobook skin option for the wiki. [[User:Gstar|Gstar]] ([[User talk:Gstar|talk]]) 15:58, 1 February 2025 (UTC)you can add the skin [https://piklodex.skywiki.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/extensions#mw-section-skins Here] --[[User:Cocopuff2018|Cocopuff2018]] ([[User talk:Cocopuff2018|talk]]) 16:02, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

==Favicon==
Why doesn't Meta wiki have a favicon? Also skywiki.org doesn't automatically redirect to www.skywiki.org, or even just the base wiki here: meta.skywiki.org. [[User:Gstar|Gstar]] ([[User talk:Gstar|talk]]) 16:12, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
==Where is private contact?==
Where can you privately contact Skywiki? What if someone posted somebody's credit card number and needs suppression? Email is disabled on many (possibily all) SkyWikis so can't contact local admins to suppress information. [[User:IllawarraFan|IllawarraFan]] ([[User talk:IllawarraFan|talk]]) 19:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

== Bug in ManageWiki ==
[[File:Dmsjuygehjd.png|thumb]]
When I try to click on a tab in the wiki extension management section, for example, Skins, a blue underscore appears under the first tab (API), which prevents me from either clicking on “Search” or selecting another tab (including the API itself). What should I do? I can't configure anything because of this bug. I even tried to log out and log in, clear the cache, then cookies, lost ten accounts from other services because of the last one and did not solve this problem. I even logged in through another PC - the error doesn’t care.

== Wiki requests/questions ==

hi, i've recently started a new wiki here: https://vousvoulezdelamusique.skywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

i have a few things to ask about

i'd like to ask for a localsettings.php change if that's possible:

$wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';

for making external links open in a new tab

i've also tried adding the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reference_Tooltips mediawiki reference tooltips gadget] on my wiki but it never showed up in my settings after going through the steps. not sure if there's a permission thing that needs to be changed there for that

last thing is that this wiki is intended to only be edited by me right now. that could change but until it does i'd like to ask if it could be exempt from any inactivity deletion. of course i'll be working on it on and off but the intent is for the information on it to stay up indefinitely, and of course with myself being the sole editor it's not meant to be constantly active in terms of edits. let me know if this is a feasible request to follow though. thanks --[[User:CrystalForce|CrystalForce]] 06:13, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
:#You can do this yourself in <code>Special:ManageWiki/settings</code> on your wiki - just look up <code>$wgExternalLinkTarget</code>, and the option should be there.
