Sorry, I forgot! You can only upload images if your account is over 4 days old and you have made at least 10 edits on the site (any wikis) - the status is called autocomfirmed and if you only created your account today/yesterday you won't be able to upload images for a while.

For the search feature, I see now (I thought you were using Special:Search). I'm not sure entirely what is happening there (perhaps that other wiki has something to do with control?) but if you search 'Control Wiki' it works fine. What I think is happening is that the Control Wiki is very small (just over 130 pages) whereas the others are much larger (4k+ pages) which means those wikis are more popular and so they will appear higher in search rankings. Search is something staff are working on but, until the Control Wiki gains in popularity with more users and pages, it probably won't feature when you search for 'control'.

As for the weird Russian text - my settings are in French and I'm getting the same problem when I go to explore after setting my preferences to English (obviously, the text is in French not Russian). I have a theory about this, did you sign up for your account in Russian? (did you have to switch your settings into English later?) Because it might be that it takes a day or more to go back to English after being in another language - but I'm not sure. The best thing to do is add  onto the end of your URL.

You can't change your language on the main page. I beleive you can get to the Russian explore tab by clicking the 'explore wikis' tab under the 'wikis' tab when your settings are in Russian, however, clicking explore from the main page will take you to the English one.

Thanks a lot for the videos you've provided! It helped me a lot seeing what's gone wrong!
