Please, delete Reiaasu' Wiki
Hi, I'm the one who started Reiaasu's Wiki. Sorry my bad english...

I've started this wiki because I wanted to share a lot of ideas and interests on a webpage. However, I'm very busy in my real life (wife, little son, work, etc.), so I don't have the time to organize the ideas and content that I wanted to put on the wiki. So I think the best option is to close the wiki.

And, in the future, if I have all the content properly organized, would you allow me to re-create this wiki?

Thanks for providing to me and for everyone a free MediaWiki-based wiki (and one that looks like the standard MediaWiki, not a weird thing like Wikia...)

Merge accounts
I've had a request to merge two accounts here: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Topic:Tn1hvc57uwgq5n6a

I think if both emails are confirmed, we can be reasonably sure that the account can be renamed or whatever. --Labster (talk) 07:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I know that this is an old thread, but it is possible to globally merge multiple users using CentralAuth UserMerge. However, the UserMerge extension is required for this to work. -- Amanda   (talk)  14:51, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Un-Private (?) Inkubator
Not sure how/why non-members cannot read any pages on inkubator.miraheze.org, but I'd like the entire wiki to be readable to the public. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bt109 (talk • contribs)
 * This is because you requested a private wiki. However, this can be changed by any system administrator Amanda (talk) 00:39, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * For future reference, requests such as this should be directed to phabricator. It might be a good idea to add a section on this to the FAQ or the header. -- Void  Whispers 01:06, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I will change the wiki to private and add the FAQ question. It is already in the header though. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:46, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of knowledge.miraheze.org

Globally lock I.Am.Awesome
I request that Special:CentralAuth/I.Am.Awesome be globally locked due to cross-wiki abuse.

The user created several inappropriate pages on WikiCanada and was blocked indefinitely as a result. The user then abused talk page privileges and therefore such privileges were removed. The user is also indefinitely blocked on TestWiki due to inserting nonsense into multiple pages, and proceeded to deface the Main Page at Hidden History Wiki.

I think that's more than enough to warrent a global lock, although I'll ping for comment as they made two of the blocks. Amanda (talk) 00:18, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Note that the user is now socking at both TestWiki and WikiCanada. Amanda (talk) 01:03, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I would like to make an additional request for a CheckUser as it is odd this user uses both TestWiki and WikiCanada. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:07, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ❌ on WikiCanada. I don't see enough evidence to warrant a CU and thus I will not authorize a CU on WikiCanada. Amanda (talk) 11:05, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * For the record, I still request this CheckUser on testwiki. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 11:24, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

WikiCanada CheckUser request

 * User:WOW


 * User:I.Am.Awesome

The former user is blocked indefinitely on WikiCanada for being a vandalism-only account. They currently have an unblock request open stating that they are sincerely sorry. I am convinced by this unblock request by itself - however searching through deleted contributions I have a feeling that the user could be connected to the latter user, who is globally locked. I request CheckUser for further information before taking action on the unblock request.

Note to checking steward: the "check user" group on WikiCanada is defunct - you need to use the "steward" group. Amanda (talk) 22:30, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

CheckUser
I would like to request a CheckUser of this spambot. The global account was locked by, but it is only the most recent spambot that started on my wiki (WikiCanada), so I would like to block any ranges necessary to prevent further disruptive behavior. -- Amanda   (talk)  13:31, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

CheckUser and Oversight group pages
All other userrights pages are in the "Meta:" namespace, except for CheckUser and Oversight. Unless there is a good reason for this, I would like to suggest that these pages be moved into the Meta namespace to match all the others. I would do this myself but both pages are fully protected from editing and moving (don't know why). -- Amanda   (talk)  21:07, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * There are not in the Meta namespace because they are global tools that affect all wikis, therefore they should stay in their current namespace. I also don't see why you're pretending that you don't know, as you can obviously see in the history that they have been protected to stop the recent vandalism. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:22, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Can I use images from Wikipedia Commons without downloading then uploading them? Berlino.caracciolo (talk), 10:28, 9 May 2017

Edit wiki with permission
The only thing I need is to be able to approve or reject any edit on my wiki. Is this possible? Thank you,
 * The fact that your wiki is private already allows you to restrict who can edit it. You can grant the "member" permission using Special:UserRights on your wiki to anyone you want to edit the wiki. —Alvaro Molina (✉  - ✔ ) 12:03, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Unblock me on WikiCanada
Help I have been blocked on WikiCanada by User:Amanda even though I did nothing wrong. The block message said that I should appeal to the stewards, so that's what I have done. Please unblock me as soon as possible. Thanks. WOW (talk) 14:25, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Checkuser evidence confirms that you've abused multiple accounts. -- Amanda   (talk)  14:28, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Filter 14
Now that the filter has disallow enabled, I think that the global filter option should be disabled. Anonymous user page spam seems to only be an issue on Meta and a few other wikis, excluding WikiCanada. Additionally, I oppose filter 12 and filter 14 being global as they have elevated actions enabled. -- Amanda   (talk)  21:43, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Of all the 80+ hits for the filter, none have happened on meta. It is also worth noting that for the CVT page deletions for spam, most are for IPv4 userpages. In any case, the filter is an attempted work-around for the currently non-functional global titleblacklist. The functionality of the filter would therefore wind up being implemented with or without the filter. I cannot see how the filter would have an impact on your wiki, since IPs don't even have read access, and the filter does not hit users. -- Void  Whispers 22:06, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * We do not provide an opt-out for some things, and Spam Blacklist and Title Blacklist are one of them. They are to protect our wiki farms from the spam and abuses. Since both extensions are currently malfunctioning, we are working around by using Abusefilter. &mdash; revi  00:42, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Confirmation for CVT members assigned before RFC
There are few Counter-Vandalism Team members that were granted access before the access criteria was established. Therefore three (currently two) members were granted with no community scrutiny. (One member was Void who was promoted to Stewards.) This is a confirmation process for the two remaining members of CVT, me and Reception123. &mdash; revi  00:59, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Revi
Hello, I am Revi.

I have been involved in Miraheze since around August 2015 and granted Sysadmin access around September 2015. I once left during mid-2016 but came back by end of the year. I have been involved in anti-spam works back in the era of Orain, where I had Global Sysop during 2014. (That site was collapsed by Sept 2015, unfortunately.) Like Orain was, our wikis where local admins abandoned or are too busy are often spammed by automated spambots (or competent human spammer) and as an administrator on Meta Miraheze, Korean Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wikimedia Meta and few other sites along with the Global Rollbacker, I know almost everything about counter-spam and counter-vandalism required for CVT work and I can provide the service for the public good of the wiki farm by using the service to protect our farm from the spam.

Thank you for your consideration. &mdash; revi  00:59, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

No offense but I've noticed that revi seems to be very short-tempered when it comes to some things (I don't want to pull up all of the exact diffs, but the comment above regarding filter 14 is one example). Additionally, as revi is a sysadmin, I question whether CVT is really necessary, since all it does is add three steward permissions on Meta. All other CVT global permissions are included in the sysadmin group. -- Amanda   (talk)  11:26, 17 May 2017 (UTC)  (changed vote per comment by John below)

 * Whilst I am a firm believer in manners and generally being polite whenever responding to people's requests/comments etc., especially since they don't cost anything, it seems to me your re-assessed vote is based solely on the named user's manners. I agree that some users wording and writing styles seem somewhat abrupt at times but to cast a vote based on lack of manners and/or abruptness rather than technical ability seems a little short-sighted. Of course, your vote holds equal weight with any other and I respect it. Borderman   talk 14:08, 17 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Revi's history with Miraheze and knowledge of anti-spam makes for a user who is more than capable of dealing with CVT issues as and when they arise. Borderman   talk 14:12, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Reception123
Hi, I'm Reception123, and same as revi, I have been involved in Miraheze since August 2015, have been a wiki creator and Meta administrator since then, and a sysadmin since August 2016. I've helped with creating a few AbuseFilter's when the site was launched, as well as taking care of a few spam removal requests as a sysadmin before the CVT right was invented. I've also been involved in the WMF projects in the past, and used to do countervandalism there, so I do have experience with that. You can currently see (most of) my actions as a CVT here, and you can check my contributions for my actions on Meta against spam also. If I am confirmed, I will with no doubt continue to combat spam cross-wiki to allow users to be able to use their wikis with no inconveniences, as spam can be very annoying to deal with. I will also probably help with adding new AbuseFilter's and TitleBlacklist entries, so that vandalism can be prevented before it happens, rather than after.

 * Despite the fact that Reception has yet to fill in the comments above, I would still gauge them as qualified for the rights. -- Void  Whispers 01:35, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that Reception123 is qualified for CVT. However, like revi, Reception is also a sysadmin and the CVT tools overlap with the sysadmin tools with the exception of three steward rights on Meta. Therefore, I have to question whether CVT is really necessary in addition. -- Amanda   (talk)  11:26, 17 May 2017 (UTC)  (changed vote per comment by John below)

 * The notice itself states that it can be removed by editing MediaWiki:Sitenotice. You can either blank the page or delete it, either will work. I do not believe the notice is removed automatically, although it would be a good idea to look into doing that. -- Void  Whispers 20:57, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, it worked. I was just wary that removing the notice myself would not prevent the wiki from being closed by Miraheze Staff. If I understand well, the notice absence is sufficient for the staff to understand that the owner does not want its wiki to be closed. Robert

Wiki went mobile while I was away
Hi there!

I've returned to my wiki after a hiatus. I notice it's changed to mobile mode while I was away. I've looked through the FAQ and SpecialPages but can't find a way to turn it back. Can you advise me in how to do this?

I'm not entirely against it, but I miss the side bar with the image and quick links, the bar at the top with the quick links. Much easier to navigate and less blank white space.

Admin who was banned from our community needs their bureaucrat title removed
The wiki over at collabvm.miraheze.org is one about a community known as CollabVM. Recently, a higher up user known as Technoturnovers caused some trouble which resulted in them being banned from the community. However, we cannot remove their bureaucrat title for the wiki, and they may figure out that they still have Administrator rights on here and attempt to destroy our wiki. If an admin could remove the Bureaucrat role from Technoturnovers, that would be much appreciated.


 * This request brought some of the content on your wiki to my attention. I believe that the contents of several pages violate our Content Policy, including several instances of what could easily be considered hate speech. I've gone ahead and made your wiki "private" instead of outright removing all access to it, to allow local sysops to clean up the content. If you would like specific examples of unacceptable content, please email me/the staff at ndkilla@undefinedmiraheze.org or staff@undefinedmiraheze.org -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 21:04, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello! Some of you may know me others may not. I have been a member of this community for 1 year, 2 months, 9 days, 23 hours and 27 minutes as of posting this request.

Miraheze has enabled me to continue writing the content I love to produce on my personal wiki at Aeross and also expand my knowledge at TME.

That is why today I am requesting rights to become a Wiki creator. I really want to help the whole community out and what to give a helping hand to the administrators, stewards and all the other staff who keep this fantastic community up and running.

The default, which is the case for rswiki is that talk, user, user talk, project, project talk, file talk, mediawiki, mediawiki talk, template talk, help, help talk, category talk.

 * OK, no problem. I use templates instead of interwikis there.--SolidBlock (talk) 14:23, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Please don't delete lexique.miraheze.org
Hi,

A notice appeared on lexique.miraheze.org saying it hadn't been edited in too long. I've made a few changes like the notice said I should, but now when I add a category to new pages they aren't showing up in the main list for the category. Not sure if that's related.
 * That is considered as an edit, yes. As the notice says, you can remove it by going to MediaWiki:Sitenotice. If you need your wiki to be exempt from the Dormancy policy for whatever reason please see Dormancy Policy. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#d00404"> contribs  ) 05:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * @Reception123 I was able to delete the notice, but all my pages say Template:Delete at the top. How do I get rid of that? Sorry. 25 July 2017

Dormancy policy exemption for proxybotwiki
Im requesting this due to the fact this is a documentation wiki for a bot that is (at the moment) exclusively ran for Miraheze to enforce no open proxies policy therefore if the wiki is deleted documentation may be lost. To prevent that im requesting a dormancy policy exemption for proxybot.miraheze.org (proxybotwiki). Zppix (talk) 20:51, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Convertion may be not working when preview
When I preview a page, the preview content may be not converted, at rs.miraheze.org. It's a Chinese (zh) site, and available convertion. But why doesn't the convertion system work when previewing the content?（在rs.miraheze.org，预览页面时，内容似乎没有繁简转换. rs.miraheze.org是中文网站，没有禁用繁简转换. 但是为什么预览页面时，预览的内容没有被转换呢？） (I'm not good at English.) --SolidBlock (talk) 04:03, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Account rename: Samtar -> There'sNoTime
Hi, not overly active here any more, but I'd like my account renamed in line with my renames elsewhere. Please rename my SUL account Samtar to There'sNoTime. Thanks -- Samtar talk to me 11:09, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
