		+	Hey, I've had some issues logging in to MTS. When I try to, it blanks the password field and brings me to the "Invalid login" screen. If I try to reset my password, no matter how many times I correctly punch in my email, it always says "Error: email addresses don't match!" I really need help with this, and I would've told you some other way, but I can't. Please help! --[[User:GyroxOpex\|GyroxOpex]] 16:19, 19 August 2010 (CDT)

After renaming a category, I realized what a pain it is to do by hand (changing a little piece of an article for hundreds of articles).

	It's a tough job setting up MediaWiki and it can be even more tedious installing extensions. However, the [[Special:Version\|current setup]] is a bit outdated in comparison to [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version MediaWiki's] (current stable is ''1.15.1''). Also, it'd be great if you set up [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL short URLs] on the wiki. I know, how typical to shout out demands. Anyway, it's my hope to help contribute a bit. I've been lurking for a while and it's amazing to see how much this project's grown.

	::Also, I'm interested in having bot privileges for a separate account as I'm writing a wiki bot to simplify the process of editing pages. The main reason for doing this is to minimize repetitive tasks by automating it. This can be anything from assigning categories to a batch of articles, making mass corrections, etc. --[[User:LarryPoppins\|LarryPoppins]] 01:49, 24 July 2009 (CDT)		::Also, I'm interested in having bot privileges for a separate account as I'm writing a wiki bot to simplify the process of editing pages.

		+	::I realise that the current setup is outdated, however, the server that runs this wiki also runs vBulletin 3.0 which requires PHP4. As you know, MediaWiki requires PHP5 from v1.7 and up, and it's not possible to run both PHP4 and PHP5 on the same server without changing the server setup, which really isn't something I have time for right now. It's on my big list of things to do, but it's not a high priority.
		+
		+	With regards to short URLs, they work fine. [http://www.sims2wiki.info/Talk:Delphy] works fine for getting to this page, for example. The reason it's not the default for all links is becuase of the integration with the MTS site such that both have http://www.SITENAME.info/wiki.php?title=PAGENAME - easier to do an str_replace on. :)
