Wiki created
Hello, I would like to tell you that I have created your wiki. You can now access it at https://christipedia.miraheze.org. You should automatically have been granted founder rights (administrator and bureaucrat), if that's not the case then please leave a notice on Stewards' noticeboard so we can fix it immediately. Do not hesitate to ask questions if your question was not answered in our FAQ. Also, if you want an extension, gadget, or anything else, please ask us here. Thank you for choosing Miraheze, and we wish you good luck with your wiki! Reception123  (talk) ( contribs  ) 12:54, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Reception123. (Kees Langeveld, 23 feb. 2016 18:19 UTC)

As you probably have noticed, from the 15th to the 26th this month, we've had issue with uploading files as well as 503s. These were caused due to an issue with our NFS system, and they have been resolved.

Did you mean to donate €25 twice (total €50), or only once? If it got submitted twice by accident, I'd be happy to decline one of your payments. Thanks for donating! --Labster (talk) 18:32, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

 * There have been two incidents this month regarding database space. As I (Reception123) am now part of the Operations team I plan on making sure that this does not happen again, as I will be closely monitoring disk space.

Discussion notifications
As you have probably noticed by now, Site updates have not been sent/updated for a while. The main reason for this is the fact that there was not an interest in it, and there was not enough information that was worth sending to users monthly.

I am sending this message to the Site updates list because I would like to propose a trying out a different type of notice sent to users. Instead of monthly updates of a limited number of statistics (which can be consulted by users anyway), staff would instead notify interested users if there is an interesting discussion (on Community noticeboard or Stewards' noticeboard) or if there is a local vote on Meta. Currently, there is no incentive for many users to visit Meta and check recent changes to see if there is anything they would be interested in, so this system would fix that and notify users of that so they can join in the discussion whenever there is one.

In order to subscribe to these notifications, please add your name in the same format to Discussion notifications/List, and you will start being notified on your talkpage. If there is interest in these notifications, they will be continued.

Also, please note that at least for the time being Site updates will be discontinued (since all the statistics are available anyway).
