Hi everybody
I’d like to suggest and discuss this idea , i’d like to ask “mikrotik.com” to give those who post useful scripts here a certificate for that as they deserve it and for sure there most be some criteria for that , this will encourage people to post their scripts here which will be very useful for many mirkotik users, also this certificate may help those programmers to get better jobs
what do you think about this idea ?
Actually there is a place on wiki.mikrotik.com where the really good things can be adopted by mikrotik or eventually some selected people from the forum community could get access. I read sometime ago that these exceptional contributions are honored by ros license from mikrotik.
there is reputation system at the forum, will be nice if used more intensively to thank or to stand out who provides useful help and the topics related
i will be ready to help to write wiki for some topics i think i have something to contribute
i have an idea:
open a topic to suggest improvements changes or updates on specific topic or topics to leave the opportunity to many to contribute, then quote mikrotik to suggest it to upload to official wiki
the topic on specific article of the wiki can start with actual content of the wiki on that article and the next posts on changes or revisions from users
maybe when revision is accepted and submitted on the wiki referencing the users who contributed
there is no reason to start doing it right now
If you have a Wiki account, you can already do that. More specifically, you can create a new page, copy the contents of an existing page, and do edits on it. Once ready, you can contact MikroTik, so that they can replace the original content with your content, if they so wish.
I did this once for the API page… except that MikroTik didn’t take my content, but instead opted to do some reorganization of that page to deal with most of the issues I brought up. I say most, because the one thing that originally pushed me to do the other changes didn’t got addressed (the “>= 0xF8” and “0x7FFFFFFFFF” lines at the top; It’s confusing what is “length” in the numerical sense, and what is “length” in the “byte sequence” sense, as the whole section mixes them).
On the topic of “forum reputation”, was it disabled?
I see no way to give reputation anymore.
I feel like this is such a stupid question, but is it even possible to create a wiki account?
I have been looking for a way to create an account for about a year but haven’t found a way yet.
Ooh yeah, that part I never understood at all and I probably still don’t understand it. At least I don’t have to think to much about it since there is code and open-source libraries that do all that work for me.
Huh… Seems so.
Like so many questions in this forum, the answer is “contact support for that”. 
I only REALLY understood it after a few versions of my implementation. Considering that most implementations either don’t really address this in their code or do it wrong, they aren’t exactly equipped to address that ambiguity.
And in case you’re still curious, the “0x7FFFFFFFFF” is the scheme limitation (i.e. possible encoded length), which if decoded is 0x7F1FFFFFFF, or 545997717503 bytes.
However, 0xF0FFFFFFFF is the maximum encoded length supported by RouterOS. The actual (i.e. decoded) maximum is 0xFFFFFFFF, i.e. ((2^32)-1) or 4294967295 bytes, same size as a 32 bit unsigned integer in C.
