Please decline request #5238, as this guy is trying to create a fake website.
This guy is trying to create Usopedia(ウソペディア), WITHOUT the official permission of the real Usopedia. The name of this guy is a nickname of me (an admin on Usopedia) in an online bulletin board in Japan, and this guy is trying to interrupt our (possible) plan to move Usopedia to miraheze. Thus, please decline the request, and do not let him open a fake Usopedia. -- 10:31, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I've found out that one of the wiki creators have already created the website, unfortunately, and probably without knowing what's going on. This is completely against the will of Usopedia, and I'd like you to close the website immediately.-- 10:34, 24 June 2018 (UTC),
 * @開拓者,Yes is me, I am sorry you post just your message when i click to Submit :/, sysadmin can review this please Videojeux4 (talk) 10:40, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * OK.. If it's related to sysadmins, should I also post it on Phab?-- 10:43, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 待ってください. ウソのペディアなんて安直な名称なんて、被ってもおかしくありませんよね？User_talk:huttleyを御覧ください.
 * Stop!!!"ウソペディア"is "ウソ"+"ペディア"."ウソ" is a "lie"."ウソペディア" is about lie!It is a simple name, and it can be casually overlapped.So, I'm sorry for Mr. 開拓者, but I would like you to endure it.--Huttley (talk) 14:00, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This guy claims that s/he has succeeded a private wiki created 7 years ago, which is unlikely, as s/he cannot show any verifiable proofs. Rather, there are several unlikely matches between usopedia.aioilight.space and usopedia on miraheze (user name, wiki name, and timing), indicating s/he is trying to disrupt our migration.
 * Please also note that LTAs on Japanese wikis are already using miraheze, and has created "unofficial" English enpedia WITHOUT discussing on the ORIGINAL enpedia, which is a Japanese wiki and so far has no plan to create other language version. The case of usopedia might be similar (that is, the Miraheze Usopedia might have been requested by an LTA on the original Usopedia).-- 00:09, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Please do not judge LTA.
 * @Videojeux4"enpedia" is "en" + "pedia". "usopedia" is "uso" + "pedia"."en"(not "EN"glish!) has no meaning in Japanese. but "uso" has the meaning of a "lie" in Japanese. So,"enpedia" is a unique and not used much name, but "usopedia" is a simple name. unique and not used much name rarely coincide by chance, but there is a high possibility of overlapping if simple names. Actually, there are many "usopedia" in Japan. Because it is a simple name, I think that this is the first come, first served.
 * and, Mr.開拓者 said "LTA,Spoofing", so, I am very unpleasant.
 * LTAと決めつけないでください.
 * @開拓者"ウソペディア"は "ウソ" + "ペディア"です. つまり、"ウソペディア"は単純な名前です. だから、単純な名前では重複の可能性が高いです. 実際、日本には多くの "ウソペディア"があります. これは単純な名前なので、先着順だと思います. 成り済ましだと疑われ残念ですが、名前が単純だとこれだけ申し上げているのに、妨害と決め付けるのですか？決めつけられ、とても不愉快です. --Huttley (talk) 06:06, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I didn't determine that YOU ARE ACTUALLY AN LTA, did I? I was just talking about possibilities. Enpedia is an abbreviated form of Encyclopedia, and "en" has lots of meaning in Japanese, as a matter of fact (ex. the currency "yen" is actually pronounced and written "en(えん)"). He claims that the wiki originates from mushroomwiki (which is a private wiki, while Usopedia is a public wiki), and I don't see any reason that s/he needed to change the wiki's name, even if the wiki acutually existed. There are, in fact, some websites using the same name, but most of them are the previous domains of Usopedia. In addition, he doesn't have a good explanation for the user name Huttley (one coincidence might occur, but 2 or more (including the timing) are very unlikely, unless you are doing it intentionally).
 * I should also note that, even though the claimed copyright is dated in 2011 (7 years ago), the page was last modified at , indicating that the page was created just a few hours ago, just to justify his/her action (in addition, its only readable subpage was last modified at  ).-- 10:41, 25 June 2018 (UTC)modded.-- 11:15, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 肝心のところを間違えていますね. "最終更新"であり、"作成"ではない. そこが重要です. あなたが提示した時刻、確かにプログラマリオ氏に見せるために表示内容を更新し、usopedia.aioilight.spaceさま向けのメッセージを追加、翌日、さらに文字に色付けをしています. 最終更新だけで、私が不正を行うために作ったと何故言えるのですか？
 * 重ねて言います. "ウソのペディア"というこんなに単純で安直な名前が被ったというだけなのに、まだあなたは"偽のウェブサイトを作成しようとしている"と投稿するのですか？私が１年前にusopedia.miraheze.orgを作っていても、偽物だと言うですか？単純な名前ですから、早い者勝ちです. 無料のサービスですから余計です. もし私がusopedia.comを作っていたら成り済ましだと訴えるのですか？？関連性をきっぱりと我々は否定しているので、これ以上文句を言わないでください.
 * You are mistaking the key point. It is "last update", not "create". That is important. The time you presented, certainly updates the display content to show to Mr. プログラマリオ, adds a message for usopedia.aioilight.space, color the letters the next day the next day. Why can you say that I just made it for fraud just by last update?
 * Repeat it. You are posting that you are "trying to create a fake website" yet even though it is only a simple and unassuming name suffered as "lie pedia". Even if I made usopedia.miraheze.org one year ago, will you say it is a fakesite? Because it is a simple name, it is first come, first served. It's extra because it's a free service. If I am using usopedia.com, would you appeal that it is becoming a spoof? Since we deny the relevance once and for all, please do not complain any more.
 * P.S.In the event of any differences in meaning between the original Japanese version and a English version, the original Japanese version is correct. / 日本語版と英語版の意味に違いがある場合、元の日本語版が正しいです. --Huttley (talk) 09:39, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
 * No matter what you say, it's no use. I've taken contact with the sysadmin of myht (where your original website is located), and everything will be made clear soon.
 * I should also note that Usopedia is known better than Miraheze by the Japanese (ex. the article ウソペディア on enpedia was created more than two and a half years earlier than the article Miraheze, which was created just about two weeks ago), and it is very unlikely, being a wiki editor, that s/he only knew Miraheze and didn't know Usopedia until プログラマリオ and I told him/her (which is his/her argument). This also indicates that s/he is pretending as if s/he is innocent.-- 18:28, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

(resetted the indents)I have contacted the sysadmin of myht, and it was proven that the website s/he claims to be the origin of his/her wiki was created at , definitely not in 2011. Because of this, two things have been proven. Therefore, I will request again, and this time strongly, to close the fake Usopedia on Miraheze.-- 09:56, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Huttley is a liar, and what s/he claims cannot be trusted.
 * 2) Mushroomwiki was indeed created only to justify his/her claim, after プログラマリオ told him/her to prove his/her claim at  (or  ).
 * P.S. I've uploaded a screenshot to prove my claim here. You can also confirm my claim on this page, but you'll need to create an account and log in to see the content.-- 10:09, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Note that copyright infringement does violate our ToU and is not permitted here. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 12:42, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * (Information) Today, Huttley changed setting. So usopedia.miraheze.org is private wiki now.--プログラマリオ (Pen name:Mario Yonezawa) 14:31, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Today, I changed setting. So usopedia.miraheze.org is public wiki now.(The reason for making it private is to change the main page)--Huttley (talk) 05:38, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Request for clean up of pages created by a Japanese LTA
Hi, I've found some copyright infringement contents on some of the wikis created by User:ニューヌオック and User:Murabic, and would like to request for clean up (deletion) of such pages.

They are:
 * Template:偽ロゴ - a copy from Usopedia.
 * Template:Catnav - also a copy from Usopedia.
 * Category:表示偽装テンプレート - also a copy from Usopedia.
 * Category:テンプレート - also a copy from Usopedia.
 * Main Page of English Enpedia - a copy of the original Japanese Enpedia, without permission.

I should also note that these two accounts are probably that of a Japanese cross wiki vandal, as the names As long as they don't violate the policies too much, I won't ask to block them on Miraheze (because activities outside Miraheze is not a valid reason to block on Miraheze), but please be cautious to their activities.
 * 1) ニューヌオック means new ゆっくりヌオック, which is blocked on multiple wikis.
 * 2) Murabic is an abbreviation of MurabitoChannel (ムラビトチャンネル), which is blocked on Japanese Wikipedia, and is identical with ゆっくりヌオック.

Thanks for reading.-- 13:10, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

P.S. I have made some edits on vandalism wiki, and am willing to continue activities there. I'm still not sure whether I'll adopt the wiki, but I'd be happy if you remove the wiki from candidate of closing.-- 13:10, 28 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Worth noting some of the content in question does appear to be direct copies. Also, Usopedia content appears to be licened under CC-BY-NC and Enpedia content appears to be under CC-BY-SA. This doesn't really matture though because attribution wasn't provided in any of the examples. PuppyKun (talk) 17:05, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You're right about the licenses of Usopedia (CC BY-NC 4.0) and Enpedia (CC BY-SA 3.0). The problem is that those users seems to be inactive recently, and they are creators/admins/bureaucrats of those wikis ,which means it's unlikely that they'll deal with the issue even if I ask them to. As shown in the link above, this user has been repeating copyright infringements across wikis, and has shown no will of apology in any of them so far. Thus, I believe that a Steward should deal with it.-- 11:35, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * So here’s what we could do IMO:
 * A. Delete the wiki (wellpediawiki and/or englishenpediawiki) per ToU
 * B. Delete the pages and lock the mentioned accounts per ToU
 * It would be very helpful to have input from Abuse Team members like and/or stewards like . MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 15:14, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Deleting the wiki would be a bit of a nuclear option. I would much favor bringing up the issue of attribution with the creator/author first prior to removing the content. Or otherwise removing the content that is a violation, and giving the option to restore it with proper attribution and copyright handling. -- Void  Whispers 16:45, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Especially for English Enpedia, I would request it to be deleted, as the Original Enpedia (in Japanese) does not recognize any versions in different language so far. Because of this reason, tsaipedia, a weird wiki with its title in Japanese and language in Chinese, should also be closed, as this wiki is using the name Enpedia and was requested by the same Murabic account. As for locking the accounts, I'm not sure (as generally, those issues should be warned at least once, before locking), but am not against it.
 * That option might work for wellpedia, but the problem with English Enpedia is that it is not official, and was rather created by a vandal of the original wiki. This (in addition to copyright issue) is why I request it to be deleted.-- 17:29, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The LTAs were confirmed, locked and the pages were deleted. So, this is now ✅. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 14:07, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you :)-- 04:26, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

SOMEONE VANDALIZED MY WIKI!
Hello, I need help! Someone called “fuckyoucrazyblox” vandalized my wiki! I do not want to spend all day reverting edits, so someone please help me with my wiki! I need a team of 6 admins for my wiki.
 * It's ok. Do you want me to help? Malcolm 02:11, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * NVM, Void reverted them all. Malcolm 02:12, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, Malcolm. Unfortunately I will not be able to grant you admin privileges yet. And also finally my wiki is back to normal.

TOPIC CLOSED.
 * I have now locked the account as it does seem to be a vandalism only account. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 10:25, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Request for Global edit of SiteNotice about the updated default license
Hi.

First, please see this task on phabricator, if you don't know what happened. Speaking briefly, John has decided to update the global default license of Miraheze from CC BY-SA 3.0 to CC BY-SA 4.0, and now the default license has been updated. However, since it is not widely known to the community yet, and not all users use Miraheze meta or check the footer regularly, I would like to ask a Steward to create a global SiteNotice displayed above, on ALL Miraheze wikis.

I'm also concerned that there seems to be no open discussion for this decision (though technically and legally it's possible to update, this can affect some wikis that might export their contents to other wikis outside, such as Wikipedia or Illogicopedia).-- 17:09, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

CheckUser Request: usopedia.miraheze.org

I was suspected that "All the vandalism that happened in the usopedia.miraheze.org is your own self-made performance". Therefore, I ask CheckUser to insist on my innocence.

 * I don't like looking into accounts to check for innocence or whatever. However, I took a cursory look into the vandal accounts listed above and determined that they all can be considered technically identical except for one or two. There is no apparent link to Huttley. -- Void  Whispers 19:00, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * thanks.--Huttley (talk) 01:15, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, did you also check out whether the IP used by Huttley is not against No open proxies policy?-- 06:32, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * ”open proxies may not be used for anonymous editing of Miraheze sites.” Therefore whether registered editors use them is irrelevant. John (talk) 06:46, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, that is the case on Miraheze, indeed (just got a bit confused with other wikis I use). NVM. -- 06:52, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

CheckUser request for:Kurie, ニューヌオック, and Murabic
Hi. I'd like to post a checkuser request for accounts Kurie, ニューヌオック, and Murabic, as they seem to be operated by the same Japanese LTA. Here are the evidences I believe so: If it's proven that they are indeed identical, they should be locked globally, as this user is a known cross-wiki vandal, and has almost no possibility of improving. Thanks for reading.-- 12:03, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Common style of request, seen between Kurie and Murabic.
 * 2) Making a request in various language at the same time (en, ru, etc.).
 * 3) Requesting unofficial alternative language version of Japanese wikis (newwindpaedia(新風百科事典) for Kurie, and Enpedia for Murabic)
 * 4) Related user names, seen between ニューヌオック and Murabic: ニューヌオック means new "ゆっくりヌオック," and Murabic is an abbreviation for "MurabitoChannel," or ムラビトチャンネル in Japanese, and these to accounts on Japanese Wikipedia are regarded as identical.
 * 5) Possibility to avoid dealing with copyrights infringement issues posted above: It is possible that ニューヌオック/Murabic has created a new account Kurie to avoid being accused of or/and dealing with copyright infringement issues.
 * I have handled the request as asked. John (talk) 13:07, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I also confirmed that the wikis (including English Enpedia) was closed by MacFan4000, and also would like to thank MacFan4000.-- 13:45, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Uh, it seems to me that atleast one of the accounts is still active. I guess locking IPs only will not work against this user.-- 04:28, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * And Kurie posted Russian sentences on my talk page, though this user knows that both s/he and I are Japanese natives (ja-n), since s/he refers to my user page babel. Communicating in different language itself may not be a vandal activity, but being doubted as an account of an LTA, it is clear that it's an inappropriate action.-- 09:13, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no technical evidence linking the first two accounts listed to any other accounts, therefore I did not action and still will not action as this seems to be based solely on behaviour in a language I do not understand well enough to make reasoned arguments for or against. John (talk) 11:10, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * OK... Then I should continue monitoring this user's action (as s/he might create another account). Thanks for your answer.-- 11:40, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

 * As a user of プログラマリオ's wiki "Ourwiki," the wiki in question, I'd also like to add セガノビール (using the name "sega"), ジリオン (uploaded a logo with a font similar to sega), and イタリア語で鋸 (who strongly supports SEGA and indicating relations with other accounts). They are also blocked on the wiki (except for イタリア語で鋸), they all claim to be fans of SEGA and anti-Nintendo, and we think that these accounts all belong to a cross-wiki LTA.-- 13:09, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * We're still discussing this issue on Ourwiki. We might add some other accounts / evidences for this request. Thanks.-- 14:26, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

A wiki active with zero activities
Hi, I happened to find that this wiki hasn't been edited for more than 60 days. I have also found that no one has edited this wiki so far and the only logs are that of automatic account creations. According to the Dormancy Policy, this means that this wiki can be closed and marked as "eligible for deletion." I know it's a minimum limit, but since I have found one, I'd just like to report it. Thank you.-- 14:57, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Issues with Access
Hi there,

I am trying to access the special:managewiki page on voidborne.miraheze.org/wiki but it says access denied.

Is this correct? If so, how do I change the default picture, and set access restrictions? also I am trying to figure out how to edit the navigation sidebar so I can make pages live.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest Regards Justin
 * what specific error are you getting? If it states "You do not have permission to manage wiki settings, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Bureaucrats.", then you should just make sure you are still logged in to your account. As for your other questions, the logo is set by an option at the bottom of the Special:ManageWiki settings. You need to first upload the image you want as your logo, and then open the image in a new window. The URL should look something like https://static.miraheze.org/voidbornewiki/XX/XX/File_name.png . You must copy and past this into the logo option for ManageWiki. For access restrictions, you can take a look at using page protection, or otherwise we can set it so that your entire wiki can only be edited by users you add. -- Void  Whispers 23:21, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Please globa lock User:氵束頁力口貝
Hello. Please globa lock User:氵束頁力口貝. Because it is Vandal only account. Please see here. Thank you. --プログラマリオ (Pen name:Mario Yonezawa) 13:33, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

CU request for vandals appeared on my wiki
Hi, some vandals appeared on my wiki Usopedia, and I'd like to request for CheckUser on them. The accounts are: They are probably vandalism-only accounts, and should be globally locked, if necessary. Thanks for helping.-- 15:48, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Typo in global notice
There's currently a typo in the site notice that appears on all Miraheze wikis. "Apearing" will need to be changed to "appearing" - "apearing" is not a word. :P Could a steward please do this?--Madminecrafter12 (talk) 00:10, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it's fixed now (by one of the stewards).-- 01:42, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Globally blocking/locking an LTA appeared on Usopedia
Hi, I'd like to request for a global block/lock on IPs and users that are for vandalism only, and repeating copyright infringements. The IPs are all mobile (which can change easily), and I may suggest a range block. Thanks.-- 09:30, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

 * THese IPs and user accounts that you mention have not vandalised any other wikis, only one. Therefore, I don't see a need to take any global action at this time (as that's what local blocks are for). You are free to range block them on your wiki locally, if you think that will stop the issue. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 10:48, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, then I'd like to request for checkuser on the three accounts above (I know you can lock them for abusing multiple accounts) and an additional account (Special:CentralAuth/チクタク時計) that appeared after I created this topic. I should also tell you that these user names indicate that they are the accounts of an known LTA in Japanese wikis (such as Wikipedia, and Uncyclopedia, etc.).-- 14:58, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Reception asked for a CU and I declined it. CU isn’t returning a lot of useful information and IP ranged based on the past results are regular broadband connections (and IPv6 too) so there’s not a lot CU is useful for. If you know they’re an LTA and they’re linked, that’s pretty much all I’d conclude from a CU. John (talk) 15:56, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I see. Thanks for your response.-- 16:01, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Question
Hello, if i request a checkUser from the stewards how will i get the data (eg. IP address) and results? And what kind of data can I get from the CheckUser? And also what does “LTA” mean in terms of the hosting service? LTA means “Land Transport Authority” in my place of residence...
 * See Extension:CheckUser for usages and available data. LTA usually means "Long Term Abuse" on wikis.-- 10:46, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Also in general, we do not disclose IP addresses either in public or in private to members not on the staff team, and even then only when absolutely needed. At most we will state if two (or more) accounts are related and never if an IP is related to an account. -- Void  Whispers 19:36, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Speaking of the Dormancy Policy, I would like to make my Wiki immune to that
Hello, I said in my wiki request that my wiki is meant to document the laws of the Crazybloxian Empire. Speaking of the Dormancy Policy, I would like to make it immune to deletion for the following reason:

Used to display info that can take multiple months to edit, write, check, and process

Thank you very much, said Fair002 in a statement. (talk) 14:21, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
