Deletion of one of your wikis
Hi, I would like to tell you that I have deleted scumbobwiki, which you requested, because it turned out to be a duplicated request of another wiki requested earlier than yours. Please use it instead.-- 12:40, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi DuchessTheSponge,

I noticed a couple relatively minor issues with your transcluded signature, now at User:DuchessTheSponge/sig, which are itemized in turn.


 * User signature file location. Per established social norms and customs on Meta, users' transcluded signature files are located typically as subpages of their own user space, not in Template: namespace. MrJaroslavik originally moved it to User:DuchessTheSponge/DuchessTheSponge as we weren't yet sure whether or not this template was for a userbox or a user signature. Now that you've signed several talk page, user talk page, or noticeboard posts with it, we know that it is, so I have kindly moved it to User:DuchessTheSponge/sig and updated the transclusions, purging the page caches on each page on which it was transcluded. Please go into your preferences, under the signature section, and update your signature to reference your signature file's new location
 * Talk page, user talk page, and noticeboard signature guidelines. Please remember to sign all talk page, user talk page, and noticeboard threads or posts with four tildes, not three tildes, to include a crucial timestamp for our bot. I've made the corrections for your recent posts, and manually added it for you
 * Upcoming signature rule changes with MediaWiki 1.35. When MediaWiki version 1.35 is publicly released as a production, stable build and deployed on Miraheze, Extension:DiscussionTools will be concurrently deployed, too. One of the consequences of that extension is that there will be changes to the signature rules, and your signature will now be required to include an internal wikilink to either (a) your user page or (b) your user talk page. A small number of Meta users will likely be impacted by this change, so I am proactively reaching out to users as on Meta as I see them, and your transcluded signature does not link to either. While it's fine now, you will need to update this once MediaWiki version 1.35 launches and is deployed on Miraheze, along with the DiscussionTools extension.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding either of the above. :)

Cheers,

Adoption of fanfiction.miraheze
Hi Freighttrain here, sorry I didn't contact you earlier about this, though there has been no harm done and do not worry this is not an attempt at takeover, I have adopted this wiki due to it's previous closure caused by inactivity, as well as my desire for there to be a place for people to be able to post their fanworks without the hassle that other wikis are known for.

Could you please reply to let me know of your stance on these recent happenings, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 11:25, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello again, could you please reply so that we can discuss the fanfiction.miraheze wiki, you are still listed as an administrator there and it doesn't feel right either just leaving it like that or altering your user status without having first received your standpoint on the matter, so could you please respond soon, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 11:11, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * @Freighttrain This is very thoughtful that you have reached out to like this following your successful adoption. Hopefully they will be able to reply to you soon, either here, or on the local wiki. Dmehus (talk) 17:02, 24 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes I was not able to contact DuchessTheSponge beforehand, as editing on that wiki was not possible as it had been closed due to inactivity, and I didn't think to try and find them here to let them know before, but after my successful adoption of the fanfiction.miraheze wiki it did occur to me that they might be here, though I first contacted them on their local talk page there, but it does seem they were recently active here so yes hopefully they will reply soon as the current arrangement feels awkward.
