This page lists some frequently asked questions that staff has been asked. Is your question not here? Contact a staff member, who will be able to answer your question.

Where did the visual editor go?

The visual editor has been disabled for main wiki pages, as it'll result in inconsistent or bad formatting. Only the source editor is available. If you've never used the source editor before, fear not! Look at how other pages are formatted, and learn how to replicate it yourself.
The visual editor remains available exclusively to discussion pages to make it easier to start or respond to discussions.

Why can't I upload files?

In order to upload files, you must be an autoconfirmed member. You can get autoconfirmed by meeting the following criteria:
  • You've made 10 edits on the wiki.
  • Your account is 4 days old.
  • An email address must be added & verified. If you didn't receive a verification email, check your spam folder.
Please don't fill pages with "I can't add images" messages. If you haven't been autoconfirmed, contact a staff member or ask someone who is autoverified to upload files for you.

Why should I stop using the FANDOM wiki?

Here's we've put reasons and details on why we've made the change from FANDOM, the underlying issues and how you can help to promote the Miraheze wiki.
In summary, FANDOM has been unable to help its administrators to the full extent with the wiki's vandalism problems. The systems they have in place is the bare minimum and contacting FANDOM staff has proven to only halt these problems temporarily by giving us temporary solutions. Once we finally made the switch to Miraheze, FANDOM's own guidelines did not allow us to delete the wiki on FANDOM, instead giving them permission to kick all active administrators as they please, placing a FANDOM staff member in place to take care of the wiki from that point onward. Because these wikis show up high in Google's search result, taking over their SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a tedious task. FANDOM is not a place that cares about fandoms or its fans. They're hungry for ad money gained from people that aren't using adblockers.
