Error Message
My website calcwiki.ct.ws/wiki cannot be indexed by Bing. I have used Bing Webmaster Tools, but it still can’t be indexed. The website uses MediaWiki 1.45. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Why not? What error is given? InfinityFree does not block Bing from indexing your website.

I used the ‘Website Scan’ feature, but it keeps showing ‘In Queue’.
That feature may not work, but the actual indexing of your site will work fine.
Bing allows you to request a page to be indexed, I would go through that process for a few of your main pages and see if you get any errors. Note that it may take a few days/months before your pages are actually indexed.

Okay, I’ll wait a few more days and see.
If it just says “In Queue”, that doesn’t seem to me like anything is wrong. It just might take a while for the Bing crawler to actually get to checking your site. Keep in mind that search engine crawlers have finite capacity, and they won’t drop everything to immediately index some new and unknown website.
I know that with Google it can take weeks or months for new websites to be indexed.
So unless Bing actually says that there is a problem crawling your website, I think you just need to have patience.
And if you do have more questions about that, maybe check it with Microsoft. They decide when they’ll crawl your site, we don’t.

But it lasted almost a whole day, normally it would only take about 15 hours.
If it’s taking longer than normal, that probably just means that there’s more of a queue than normal.
It took 4 weeks for my site to be indexed by bing after I requested it.
