Stewards' noticeboard

Unread mail?
I sent an email to  seven days ago and it still hasn't gotten a response. I consider the matter somewhat urgent and I am disappointed that it has taken so long for an answer. Wpetoi (talk) 19:16, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * We are volunteers, but if this is regarding a Code of Conduct-related issue, you might send a short follow-up e-mail to  asking for an expected timeline on when a decision will be made as to whether to investigate your complaint. Once they've given you that (it shouldn't take more than 30 days, I should think) and the decision thus rendered, you have the Code of Conduct Commission available to you as an appeal venue. If this is not related to a Code of Conduct-related issue, you may DM me on Discord the particulars, and I will follow up with a steward privately on the same and try and find out an expected resolution timeframe for you. Hope this helps. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 19:21, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did send it to the correct email, and it is a Code of Conduct violation. I don't see how a followup email would help? Wpetoi (talk) 19:23, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It sounds like the resolution has taken place, but you weren't notified, which may have just been an oversight. So, I will ping to this thread. Dmehus (talk) 19:24, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Resolution? The bans are still in place as of now. If you're referring to my previous message, I took it down on purpose :P Wpetoi (talk) 19:30, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The blocks are locally imposed blocks. I can't speak to the fairness of their local blocking policy (to the extent one even exists), but there's little stewards can do here in that regard. I would suggest you maybe point out the most egregious block summaries that contravene the Code of Conduct, and it may be possible for a steward to unblock & reblock you under the same conditions and terms with a cleaner block summary, revision deleting the previous block's block summary. That's likely the best case resolution in this case, as far as I can tell. You could also propose a two-way global interaction ban between yourself and any of the major local actors on that wiki on community noticeboard. If the community agreed, and you'd have to provide some detailed background information and context, it would only be appealable to the Miraheze community. If they blocked you, they would be in violation of that community-imposed interaction ban, so stewards would be empowered to act. Likewise, if you did the same to any of them, you would, too, be in violation. Dmehus (talk) 20:10, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Still no response. My initial message was mostly focused on code of conduct violations, so I still fail to see how sending a second email would help. I personally believe that blocking a user from editing a wiki without being prompted violates multiple points in the Code of Conduct, but I suppose it isn't my job to determine that. The user Hookuai has also attempted to harass me with pictures of gore through various outlets, all of which I have blocked them from using to contact me one way or another. I haven't mentioned that yet, but I figured I'd mention it now. Wpetoi (talk) 17:57, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Where's proof Hookaui sent pictures of gore? Because there is no evidence, and you keep lying., I would like to alert you because Wpetoi isn't trustworthy. He keeps lying then taking the victim card. AppleCrunchy (talk) 20:10, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

From my perspective as a non-steward, this isn't likely an issue that's going to be resolved on the basis of one user's report of other users. There are problems involving many users on the Reception wikis, and so, there's no real clear answers here. All I can suggest is you maintain exhaustive logs and summaries of events, links to relevant diffs, so that you have some evidence to submit to stewards if and when this becomes a wider ranging case.

Close this wiki
https://nationalsocialism.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

A Nazi wiki, well it has no content yet, but as the wiki's name says and welcome page says it wants to promote Nazism.

Close it before its being used for those things. OPMAN (talk) 12:59, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Miraheze values freedom of speech and diversity of views. Unless there are serious violations of the Code of Conduct or Content Policy, a wiki promoting a political ideology, regardless of how extreme, is highly unlikely to be shut down. In short, if you see those serious violations, you must link to each violation directly, preferably in a list format, in order for a steward to investigate. Dmehus (talk) 13:57, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Disgusted and disappointed and here I thought the term "hate speech" in Content Policy actually meant something. OPMAN (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "Hate speech" does "mean something." What I'm saying is, unless you can show, directly, specific examples of threats or egregious, hateful speech towards a group of people or individual persons, then there's little stewards can do. There's nothing in Content Policy that prevents informational, or even avocational wikis, discussing or criticizing one or more political ideologies (which include Nazi socialism, fascism, anarchism, and similar). Hope that makes sense. Dmehus (talk) 15:00, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * In my view, as long as it is a historical wiki and is solely there for documenting facts and remains neutral, there should not be any issues. But if it makes certain claims against specific groups of people or such, in that case that should be investigated. Please let us know if there are specific instances of that. Reception123 (talk) ( C) 15:33, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Why limit it to historical, though? I think the key is neutrality, and the views being advocated. That is, a Nazism wiki that advocates hateful acts against one or more groups of people would not be okay whereas an informational wiki outlining the broad strokes ideologies, current or historical, in a compare and contrast-type format would probably be okay. It's really context specific, but yes, in any case, the requestor's report does not meet the requirements for an investigation. Dmehus (talk) 15:39, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, my main issue is for it to advocate hateful acts, or perhaps call groups of people "inferior" to others, which would be discrimination. I would like to point out a previous discussion on this matter that is about a similar topic. Reception123 (talk) ( C) 15:40, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Christ dude, you really want to get my empty wiki banned based on the Main Page? - National Socialist Friendo (talk) 16:40, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be BOLD here and say this won't be done. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 16:47, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, gratefully, National Socialist Friendo (talk) 18:47, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I do and I still stand by that and why don't you just change your name to "Nazi Friendo" and Dmehus says "Nazi socialism, fascism, anarchism, and similar", what? In what way anarchism is similar to other two, makes no sense and yeah historical wikis are ok, Wikia has a Nazi wiki but as Reception123 said, that wiki documents historical stuff, but what I saw on the main page at that time in this wiki, It was not about historical things, It stated It wants to promote the Nazi movement and beliefs of Nazism, which basically means it wants to promote Nazism, If you actually know what it is, you will know that comes under "hate speech" in Content Policy, I just hope miraheze doesn't become some kinda cesspool in the name of so called "freedom of speech" or "neutrality".

Request for steward mediation between QwertyMan'65 and Portrock1566
Please unblock me, because portrock1566 blocked me for indefinite time, so i can do fun for my pleasure, please i admitted him portrock1566 is a traitor of me, i used to be a shitposter consisting of political satire, and goes awry with the posting of mocking george floyd and the beirut explosion, while at first glance in my discord server of the outcast network and toxic fandom and hate wiki, i used malnourished kid just for joke. I am innocent person. QwertyMan&#39;65 (talk) 01:15, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

"The block was made by ‪Portrock1566‬. The reason given is Considering that you once had a profile picture of a malnourished kid and that you posted a Beirut Explosion (which is news flash, offensive) meme on Discord. I don't trust you in the slightest. Not to mention you're such a creep for trying to befriend me, You however can plead innocent on your discussion page.

 * Thank you for your post, and welcome to Meta. Please do try and remember to sign your posts with four tildes . It looks you tried to, actually, but you originally included your signature in the section header of your post. Please avoid putting the bulk of your noticeboard and talk page posts in section headers. This looks to me like a local dispute, and you're questioning a local block on a Reception wiki. This is normally outside of steward purview; however, they, strictly in their capacity as a Miraheze community member, or another established Miraheze community member, may be willing to mediate this dispute in a neutral location (i.e., on one of your user talk pages, or on the mediator's user talk page), but this would only be possible if both you and Portrock1566 agree to the mediation as we currently have no capacity to impose mandatory mediation (though there may be merits to such a proposal in the future, given the number of two-party disputes we are seeing; the trouble with these proposals, though, is finding enough willing volunteers). Dmehus (talk) 14:24, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

First, to both of you, you are both unnamed third parties in what is a steward request by for mediation by either (a) a steward or (b) an uninvolved community volunteer on Meta to mediate and, hopefully, resolve a local dispute between him and Portrock1566. While you can comment, your comments should be both (a) helpful and (b) able to add something of value. Your comments do neither of these things. Moreover, they don't even address what QwertyMan'65 is even requesting. Thus, these are non-helpful third party peanut gallery-type comments, as I said on 's user talk page. I strongly recommend you cease participation in this thread, if all you are going to do is continue what is a local dispute onto Meta. Finally, I would remind you both that civility is required on Meta. To Lamborghini446, you have an important note from me on your user talk page requiring your written on-wiki acknowledgment. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 03:22, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello steward, look! Portrock1566 blocked me forever across the reception wiki families for not being receptive while attempting to rehabilitate to me, and then, he call my grammar a "shitty as fucking hell", how spiteful an admin to abuse a weaker older new user. Please help me, to rehabilitate become a better person, please excuse my bad grammar because I'm lived in Indonesia, Portrock1566 is spiteful as antagonist. I need help from stewards to rehabilitate my life in order to get unblocked across all the reception wiki families, and the Discord servers of the same name. I hope the god (allah) will be give a good advice towards an unbeliever (portrock1566). I want to change of heart with these stewards while being affectionally care about my situation. I am a victim of abusive infinite block. My religion is Islam, so I believe to God (Allah). QwertyMan&#39;65 (talk) 05:29, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello @Lamborghini446, this not attempt to not global Portrock because I just tell to their stewards to give advice towards him, not global block! you say "He has a good reason to block him" yet Portrock is still a pessimist and occasionally a dehumanizer towards me. Portrock's reason to block me was mixed; some says that this is a bad move while others this is still good move.
 * Portrock's reason to block me virtually had no admin accountability, and he need to find out why @QwertyMan'65 needs rehabilitation. Also @Lamborghini446, you don't be rude to me, because if you are an suspected affiliate with Portrock, then you need take a rest for a while because my steward is remedying my mistakes in order apoligize the community. You must noticing my mistakes that i will be issued a public apology. In my other words: Portrock's block decision was mixed meaning they have divided tastes. QwertyMan&#39;65 (talk) 01:15, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it's no use replying to this topic now. Because Summary: QwertyMan is playing the victim card in this topic, saying Portrock dehumanized him when he brought this to himself by posting offensive "political satire" and had a malnourished child as a pfp and used the "joke" excuse on why he did this.

Please globally lock these accounts for vandalism on a dead Roblox wiki
There's a user going around vandalizing pages on Abysmal Roblox Games Wiki and I believe the same user is abusing multiple accounts.

Here's some evidence of this user vandalizing pages on Abysmal Roblox Games Wiki: https://abysmalrobloxgames.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dragontrack0YT

And here are his possible alt accounts: https://abysmalrobloxgames.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/NotDragontrack0 https://abysmalrobloxgames.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dragontrack0

Exemption dormancy policy for Vaccabolario wiki
Hi stewards,

I'm the Vaccabolario wiki's bureucrat, asking the dormancy policy exemption as this wiki, being a Dictionary, is mostly made to be read (and, considering it's 99% text, it won't take much room on Miraheze's servers anyway).

I asked it in a recent past but, not seeing my wiki listed into Exemptions list, nor an approval/deny comment from you, I'm asking it again. ( and again, and again, and again, ... as a matter of fact I'm posting the same request nearly every month: maybe at least one comment from you could be welcome  sorry: didn't see @Dmehus comment on my July post, the reasons I expressed there are still valid, tho).

Thanks in advance,

"Похоже, возникли проблемы с текущим сеансом работы; это действие было отменено в целях предотвращения «захвата сеанса». Пожалуйста, переотправьте форму." It's very important for me by closed wiki.

I have this board in all pages:

"This wiki has no edits or logs made within the last 45 days, therefore it is marked as inactive. If you would like to prevent this wiki from being closed, please start showing signs of activity here. If there are no signs of this wiki being used within the next 15 days, this wiki may be closed per the Dormancy Policy. This wiki will then be eligible for adoption by another user. If not adopted and still inactive 135 days from now, this wiki will become eligible for deletion. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with Miraheze's Dormancy Policy. If there is activity on this wiki you can go to Special:ManageWiki and uncheck "inactive" yourself. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask at Stewards' noticeboard."

What can I do in this terrible situation?..

Inactivity exemption for educational Wiki(s)
Hello, I have a series of Wikis used for a world design class I taught over the summer. My students put in a lot of effort into their Wikis and are hoping to use their work on their portfolios. There is a main landing page gat398su.miraheze.org and then several individual wikis for each student gat398projX.miraheze.org with X being number 1 to 14. Is it possible to get these sites with an inactivity exemption so students do not have to go and update the closed status every 6 months?

Can you check the global account for Trollsome?
Because I have a feeling that it was made by a user who was previously banned for lock evasions.

Also, here is some evidence that could link that account to him: https://crappygames.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions/Trollsome DarkMatterMan4500 {talk} 21:02, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you link to the Special:DeletedContributions and/or Special:Contributions of the previously locked users of whom you suspect of evading their locks? It would be inappropriate to perform a CheckUser on a single account without another account to compare against. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 21:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, here's something that you could compare it to: Special:Contributions/GTA2001 DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 21:15, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That would be more helpful, certainly, but if I recall correctly, didn't you, or someone else on Discord, note that GTA2001 was themselves suspected of possible lock evasion? Do you happen to recall who you suspect GTA2001 of being an illegitimate sockpuppet of? Dmehus (talk) 21:29, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I actually suspected that account was a sock made by Willg8686 on Miraheze due to similar behavior patterns, thus, them talking about Trollsome on Scratch.

Check User
Can you check if the user 99.19.12.152 Is the same user as Bigtastey89 due to weird behavior on a wiki? I noticed that another unlogged in user is doing the same thing, however, there is something very strange about this one that is different from the other one, this one has been globally blocked exactly one month ago. I have no idea how or why they are doing this, and I have even less of a idea how they are doing it when their account is globally blocked. --ScratchCoder (talk) 23:57, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * If it's just a logged out editor on a single wiki, I personally don't this would be required, to be perfectly honest. If you are seeing weird behaviour for that IP editor, you could just locally block (or rangeblock) that IP address and/or temporarily protect the page(s) in question to registered, logged in editors only. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 23:59, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Checkuser request on suspected accounts
Hi, I'd like to request for checkuser on suspected accounts on Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki. They are:
 * Special:CentralAuth/Inkster
 * Special:CentralAuth/Thorn Ice

Most people said that Inkster is the owner of this account. People said that he showed up (As he joined in September 7, 2020) just days after Inkster started getting blocked around several wikis probably just a coincidence. Because of this Thorn Ice was accused as a sockpuppet use by Inkster. Thanks. 09:15, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

There is a user who is a admin that is doxxing a user's face on Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki on Miraheze
So this page https://unfavorablefandomwikis.miraheze.org/wiki/Kadabra which is made by Caulipower contains a Google Drive folder, that has a image of the user's face (which he hacked his webcam to get) and posted it there. His parents also tried to tell him to remove it, but he refused to (since he hated that user so much) and he wants the user to get doxxed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldieSchool (talk • contribs) 12:54, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * First of all, you aren't fooling anyone Willg. Second of all, Caulipower did not "hack your webcam" and doesn't know how to hack people. Finally, while the drive shouldn't contain a picture of your face for privacy reasons, it is obvious that it was already made public before and therefore does not fit the definition of doxxing.

 * Well, you can read Dormancy Policy as that may apply to your question. However, I'm not sure what your question is. Are you wanting to adopt the wiki, or otherwise hold a local election on the wiki with inactive administrators? Either of these may be possible, depending on the current wiki's status, and the circumstances that gave rise to that status. Dmehus (talk) 14:26, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would like to adopt the wiki. 	--Anthony8IA (talk) 14:31, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. That's helpful. Looking in Special:ManageWiki, I see that wiki is not closed, so it cannot be adopted. I do see the wiki's sole  has not edited in more than six months or more, yes, so you have a couple options here. One, you could go to this special page on the wiki to connect with that bureaucrat's user page and then use the Special:EmailUser function (if available) to see if they will appoint you as a bureaucrat and administrator on the wiki. Alternatively, ideally if they don't reply or you cannot use that function, you can hold a local election in a prominent page on the wiki, naming yourself as the candidate for local  . If the wiki has local policies governing bureaucrat selection or election, you must follow them, and should link to that page in your local election. If they have no local policies governing role elections or selections, then, typically, you should establish those rules on your request for appointment or election page and, as a recommended guideline, should follow the global customs and conventions that we use (typically, a candidate's request is open for at least seven calendar days,  the number of position(s) open for election or appointment is specified, the number of candidates running is also specified, and the required minimum support ratio is specified). Since the wiki is notionally not an active wiki, you should specify what happens if no one expresses a view after the minimum election timeframe you or the local wiki specifies (i.e., if it will be considered successful or unsuccessful). Once your local process has concluded, come back to stewards' noticeboard and, in a new thread, link to both your local election page (using the MirahezeMagic interwiki wikilink format I used in this reply) and any of the wiki's relevant guidelines or policies, and a steward will assess your process and grant rights in absence of an active local bureaucrat on the wiki.

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * This discussion is going in circles and not getting anywhere. The point is, as said in the ManageWiki log description, unfavorablefandomwikiswiki was closed due to the repeated failures of local administrators to act and make sure the Content Policy is being enforced, as well as them ignoring and circumventing what Stewards asked them to do. There was no need for there to be a specific warning that it was going to be closed, and there were tons of warnings and deletions for Content Policy and Code of Conduct violations. The content policy says: "Wiki creators and wiki administrators are expected to know this policy, and ensure that their wikis do not fall outside the bounds of these rules." The local administrators did not seem to put any effort into ensuring the wiki was respecting the policy, probably even the opposite frankly. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:28, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Reopen unfavorable wikis and users because it just randomly got closed. i have no idea why it was closed and it wont let me reopen it. ScratchCoder (talk) 14:47, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It did not randomly get closed. It was closed due to repeated Content Policy violations that were not addressed after numerous warnings given by both Global Sysops and Stewards. Reception123 (talk) ( C) 14:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * But users can just be warned that they will be demoted if they violated the policy. ScratchCoder (talk) 14:53, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Large parts of the wiki were violating the content policy, it wasn't a question of one or two individual users being the only people responsible for the violations. Reception123 (talk) ( C) 14:54, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The problem isn't just a Code of Conduct issue; it was a systemic violation of Content Policy on a wiki wide scale. Sometimes, it just makes sense to take a match to the wiki. Dmehus (talk) 14:58, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * But still, it would not make sense to close it just with no warning at all. ScratchCoder (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The Inkster and Zenko pages were two of the most flagrant Content Policy issues, and just the tip of the iceberg. It was not closed without warning. Your wiki has become the subject of constant global surveillance and remediation, which your local administrators have not acted upon, and at some point, it just becomes too problematic for global functionaries to police. Dmehus (talk) 15:04, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) There were multiple warnings before regarding the Content Policy and Code of Conduct issues made by Stewards and Global Sysops. It is perfectly normal that if these warnings and suggestions are ignored by most users, the wiki would be closed altogether. Reception123 (talk) ( C) 15:06, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * But what could happen is it could be reopen and on the Sitenotice it can say do not violate the policy or you will get banned/demoted and the wiki might be closed. ScratchCoder (talk) 15:15, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Which file violated Code of Conduct, so it caused the closure of Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki?
I just want know what exactly went wrong, because I miss this wiki as a source of unlikable communities that people should be aware of. Man who turned Evil (talk) 12:36, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It was no specific page or even several page(s). If it were just that, the pages would've been deleted, and the local administrators told why. The problem with that wiki, as with the others, was a systemic issue, with sustained and persistent Content Policy violations. As well, the local administrators themselves committed sustained and continuous Code of Conduct with their egregious block and edit summaries. Dmehus (talk) 13:27, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, I remember browsing block logs and I know there were some mean-spirited summaries why guilty users of that wiki were blocked. Now I get it!- Man who turned Evil (talk) 22:29, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Does the other wikis fall under the violation of Code of Conduct?
These wikis to be precise

Wikis that show the worst users/things: Crappy Games Wiki (Some pages harass some developers), Terrible TV Shows Wiki (Some pages harass certain animators), Awful Movies Wiki, and Rotten Websites Wiki

Wikis that show the best users/things: Awesome Games Wiki, Best TV Shows Wiki, Marvelous Vyonders Wiki, and Amazing YouTubers Wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Machop (talk • contribs) 14:02, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Those wikis, I would say, from what I have seen, do have some Code of Conduct issues, particularly in and around their administrators' block and edit summaries. As well, at times, the edit summaries by administrators and users are not appropriate. In terms of content, they are generally better than the user-focused Reception wikis, but they are by no means blameless. If you see blatant Code of Conduct or Content Policy issues on these wikis, you should either report them to stewards and Global Sysops on Discord/IRC, on this noticeboard, or via e-mail to . Regardless of your reporting channel, you should always link to specific revisions of pages or log actions that are particularly egregious.

So is it true? That a myriad of violations caused the closure of this wiki?

If it is, I'll tell you something. In my time spent on that wiki, I've seen multiple problems that run in and around the local wiki, from its anarchic state to its current form, I saw some messed up stuff, from edit summaries and some block reasons. Freddie123 (talk) 15:24, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

The reason why I blocked you was because you wouldn't stop creating account after account just to evade bans, and second, you didn't provide anything to prove that I quote unquote "threatened you".

Can you PLEASE close down Horrible Music and Songs Wiki? (Please, notice this stewards)
The one on FANDOM caused a lot of drama, and the recreated version on Miraheze could potentially break the rules here and catch drama as well. Besides, you guys don't want these kinds of wikis to be ruining the site, right? So could you please close down the wiki? I think it could be violating the Terms of Use or Content Policy. - Disintegrated.to.pieces (talk) 19:57, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * @Disintegrated.to.pieces We can't delete wikis just because the other one that's similar to the on Miraheze is worse, plus i don't really think it breaks any notable policies i can think of. OpenRISC (talk) 16:15, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * @OpenRISC What I noticed, though, is that this wiki talks about a lot of singers, and singers are people, so this wiki could technically be seen as a place to encourage hate on singers, who are real-life people. So doesn't that break one of the rules on here? - Disintegrated.to.pieces (talk) 18:23, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * They have the right to make a wiki about that topic if they wish, Making Wiki's about hate on singers does not break terms of use or code of conduct therefore unless the wiki is breaking terms of use or code of conduct nothing we can do about it i would suggest not interacting/or editing the wiki if you do not Like the wiki (:
 * First of all, I would like to note that while some Reception wikis were recently closed due to Content Policy violations, that does not mean that every one of those wikis are problematic and must be automatically closed. The title of the wiki could indicate that its purpose is to criticize and/or discuss songs. I would like to remind that the Content Policy only applies to "unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people". If you however do think that this is the case for this wiki, please do provide specific examples of pages in order for them to be investigated. Unless specific evidence is provided there is no case to close this wiki. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:34, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that this revision of this page would be an example of unsubstantiated hate on Doja Cat.

A steward should look at your request in the next couple of weeks (i.e., wiki deletion requests have typically given lower priority than, say, handling cross-wiki vandalism, abuse of multiple accounts reports, global renames, etc.).

It is unnecessary to lock an account for merely performing one single edit on one single wiki. The user can very well be blocked locally to prevent further vandalism and if it spreads to (an) other wiki(s) then they can be reported for a global lock.
