Somebody else has this problem?
I use Opera to browse Internet, and for some reason when I try to add a link tI can't do it. After I type the captcha gives a 404 error. I have put it here because I didn't know where else put it.
 * It's been so long since I've had to use the captchas that I don't know how they work any more. Can you replicate the error in your sandbox? --Robkelk (talk) 13:57, 8 April 2015 (BST)

Upload file option missing in the side bar?
Uploaded a file 2 days ago, after my rights were changed, but now the upload option is not available in the side bar; anything changed?? --Glaseye (talk) 16:29, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * One of the Miraheze System Administrators here: To prevent data loss during server maintenance, I intentionally disabled uploads. That maintenance is over since a few hours, so you can upload again. Southparkfan (talk) 21:40, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Direct links to zipped files?
I recently found that some downloads of Muskateer Graphics (mostly second skin superhero textures for V3/M3) have been preserved in the web archive. Unfortunately the site never had individual pages for each download, only a general index. Should I add a link to the index, or direct links to the sipped files? The same goes, for anything similar that I may find later. --AntonioCC (talk) 09:01, 26 August 2016 (UTC)


 * As long as people can reach the downloads, either way works. For examples, see Freebies hosted at 3DTrue (where the Wayback Machine links are to the index pages) and Freebies by Ness Period Reproductions (where the Wayback Machine links are directly to the zip files). My personal preference - not wiki policy - is to link straight to the zip. --Robkelk (talk) 13:07, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Okay, thanks.--AntonioCC (talk) 15:06, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Risky, nudity, sexual content pages
What is the policy towards pages with pictures that contain nudity/are risky? There is a lot of Chibibel and Belbel content here: http://kedama.sakura.ne.jp/freebie/Index.htm ... --Kerya (talk) 20 September 2016
 * Oh, yes - that site. When I was posting the ChibiBel list to the Daz3D forums, Chohole and I agreed to pretend that we just didn't notice it... but that isn't going to work on a wiki that anybody can edit.
 * We have some rules about making our own images, listed at Category:Page Needing Image. "No sexualization of minors" is the applicable one here. I think that we should be consistent.
 * Can we link directly to the downloads, or would that mean people don't see the license for the freebies? --Robkelk (talk) 12:12, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately there is no Readme included in the zips - so direct links would not see the licenses ... --Kerya (talk) 21 September 2016
 * Well, most of all I would go for a better safe then sorry option. Personally, I get the impression that some japanese(?) sites have content that can be questionable by european standards, or maybe even european law.... (Don't know about the law, 'standards' are of course a very subjective/personal matter). But in general, if anything can be looked upon as sexualization of minors, regardless if it is a fantasy character or not, I would say no links to the image/sitepage and the content..... Also better no links to the more 'suggestive' images. So that may mean if a direct download link is not possible, it would be best to not mention it at all...--Glaseye (talk) 19:45, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Japanese sites, yes - there's a vastly different mindset in Japan with regard to seeing this sort of thing. I'm told that it's because of the post-WWII constitution imposed on the country by the Allies. The Japanese take the "freedom of speech" part of the constitution very seriously. (If parents don't want their children seeing something, they don't show it to their children.) In the Western world, we accept some limits on freedom of expression.
 * The law in Canada is clear in one respect: if the images on that site were on this wiki, I could go to jail. it is less clear whether making available the resources to create those images is against the law. As for mentioning that the resources exist and saying where they can be found ... I don't know.
 * I'm inclined to agree with Glaseye. --Robkelk (talk) 23:17, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem - no links to pages with "no sexualization of minors. What about simple nudity of grownups? Could we get a sign like the direct download or paid for content? Maybe NSFW https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Safe_for_Work --Kerya (talk) 25 September 2016
 * That's easy enough, and it's already on my "to be done" list. --Robkelk (talk) 12:36, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
