Dormancy Policy on my wiki
Hola estimados Stewards. Quiero pedir que mi wiki unionnorteamericana.miraheze.org tenga una excepción para evitar su borrado. Esto porque quiero poner atención a otros proyectos que tengo y pueden hacer que no edite en mi wiki por algunos días e incluso semanas. Por tanto solicito que mi wiki esté exenta de borrado al menos hasta 2019. Seguiré editando pero como nunca se sabe, prefiero solicitar una exención de antemano.

Requests for adoption
Just a note for myself and other stewards that there are two requests on the Requests for adoption archive page that are still marked as open. Those should be reviewed, as well as any currently in progress request currently on the page. Voidwalker (talk) 15:24, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Handled, for the most part, the in-progress requests that got archived had no active maintenance from the user who requested adoption. They can make another request if they need anything. -- Void  Whispers 20:26, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Problem with accessing Miraheze Phabricator
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask help with this problem (please redirect me if it's not), but I'm having trouble accessing phabricator.miraheze.org site. I've logged in through my Miraheze account, but when Phabricator asks me to check my Email for a confirmation, I don't receive any new Email on my account. I've confirmed that the Email address I've given is in fact correct and I've tried pressing the "Send Another Email" button to no avail. CapitalistContributor (talk) 17:15, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a good place to ask that question, and stewards will be able to tell you if there is a failure on the Miraheze end. The last time something like this happened to me, the failure was on my end, so if you are using a user agent like Thunderbird, be sure it's polling your provider to check for new email, or even goose it manually.  Good luck!   17:34 4-Dec-2017
 * Did you check your spam? MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 18:10, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Good catch, Mac. Emails that are obviously machine-generated, such as those from Phabricator, often wind up in Spam or Junk folders.   19:05 4-Dec-2017

Hide fake user accounts?
Although abuse filter works fine, user accounts are still added to the wiki by spambots. It bugs me to see the wiki user list including fake names. On shared hosting I would merge and delete spambot created users. Extension UserMerge is declined on Miraheze for incompatibility with CentralAuth. Apparently CentralAuth does have lock and hide. Please can I have (obviously spambot created) fake users hidden? Rob Kam (talk) 10:30, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
