Withdrawal of permissions of TestWiki in Spanish
Hello, everybody. Some time ago I wanted to encourage myself to keep "alive" the wiki publictestwiki in Spanish. But the project has always been inactive and doesn't seem to change that. Nor is there anything you can do there that you can't do in my personal wikis. There's no one else, just me. The consul of the wiki has been inactive for some time and announced it months ago.

I have decided to have Sysop and Bureaucrat permissions removed from this wiki. To focus on other projects like my personal Wikis, Meta and Commons. Greetings. Hispano76 (talk) 21:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Default thumbnail size on nonciclopedia.org
Hello, I don't remember if I changed my preferences so I wish to know what the default thumbnail size is on a vanilla installation and set it to 200px for the whole website, if it isn't already so. Thanks.--Wedhro (talk) 16:13, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Six (possibly seven) troll accounts
There are six accounts causing trouble on Awful Movies Wiki, their names are "Eop Eovies", "Dop Dovies‎", "Cop Covies"‎, "Bop Bovies"‎, "Aop Aovies"‎, and "AOP AOVIES IS NOT REAL TOP MOVIES! THEY SUPPORT HIM!‎". There's a seventh user called "Santa Claus on wheels‎", but he/she might be innocent despite the suspicious username. If someone can lock the six (or seven if the seventh user is indeed a troll) accounts, I would appreciate it. --Seewater514 (talk) 17:12, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

The upgrade and Beidipedia
Hi, we are having issues in beidipedia.miraheze.org. It looks like some kind of update happened that screwed up the entire site. The site doesn't, seems to regognize the right to left feature of Arabic language anymore. As soon as we click on the right side bar the site losses all the arabic translation of the buttons and the editing tools migrate from right of the screen to the left with no arabic translation of the buttons....It would be great if so body takes a look at that problem, it,s making editing almost impossible. Thanks.Radass (talk) 23:28, 22 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, this should be resolved now! Thanks for reporting! Paladox (talk) 23:54, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

The "Reception" Wikis need to go.
While Miraheze is a great site to host wikis, it's just that all of these "Reception" wikis (i.e. Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms, Healthy Fandoms & Hatedoms, Best TV Shows, Terrible TV Shows, Awful Movies, Greatest Movies, Crappy Games, Awesome Games, Rotten Websites, and especially the wikis about YouTubers, DeviantArt artists, wikis and users) need to go by closing them down. They just can't exist, no matter how one would think that certain things are better or worse than others. It has come to the point that users have gotten into too many flame wars and have become biased, strict, belligerent, impolite, cruel, disdainful, unfair and have conflicting opinions towards one another. They were also filled with trolls and vandals. These wikis are becoming the opposite of what they were made to be, and what these users are doing may be against Miraheze's rules and terms of use.

I'm sure this may be a bit harsh to read, but I had to come clear on this issue. I truly believe that they would save themselves a lot of frustration if they could close down all of these wikis (especially the Atrocious YouTubers, Atrocious Deviants, Incredible Wikis and Users, and Talented Deviants wikis, since some people find them to be offensive and they have caused the most wars) and let them go. There may be a lot of users that I don't like, but I never make any "hate" pages of them and I choose to ignore them because stressing myself out over such is pointless. Nobody is perfect, and everyone has their ups and downs.

Worse is that these Miraheze users all think that giving someone bad publicity, making hate/slanderous articles about people and threatening/harassing someone is "satire" and "constructive criticism". This, my friend, is neither satire or constructive criticism. This is slandering, threatening, stalking, witch hunting and harassing others, and this behavior should not be tolerated. The "Reception" community such as The Outcast Network are acting very immature. They constantly make hate articles out of things and people that they hate. How come that they think that these things/people that they hate are "worse" than than World War I and II, 9/11, school shootings, or the mass extinctions of the dinosaurs and ice age fauna? Even apes are more sane and mature than this community.

Trying to get people public-shamed, even for.. I don't know.. insane reasons? That's... just not right, especially with the Atrocious Deviants, Talented Deviants, Amazing YouTubers, Atrocious YouTubers, and Incredible Wikis and Users wikis. Some people and sites don't even warrant those types of articles! It's quite absurd that people are doing this. It just goes to show that, for someone like myself, there is such a thing as bad publicity.

If any of them really wanted to discuss about the reception of various games, movies, shows and books, and not worry about getting into wars with anybody or dealing with vandals, then you could easily have started your own personal blog where you write your own reviews, or write your own reviews about it on sites such as IMDB or GameFAQs. Many people have done this before without slandering anyone, so it won't hurt if you would do so if you wanted to. There is no point on making whole wikis about it.

I came here on the Stewards' noticeboard (hoping that they'll do something about shutting down the Reception wikis) because I just heard that my sister Zenko has been kicked out of those wikis of late just because she gotten into unwanted drama (that she didn't even want to be involved with) by the other users that they turned against her. I don't blame her since she does easily overreact to stuff and doesn't like seeing stuff that she hates be seen in a positive light, and this was why she kept arguing with users, vandalizing pages that she doesn't want to exist, sending private messages to users to explain her thoughts, and staying in the terrible drama that she didn't even want to be part of — It came to the point that she went as far as attempting to hurt herself after finding out she has been given bad publicity by those who hate her now, as well as being blocked from several wikis while having unwanted pages about herself on wikis that criticize users. They should be ashamed of themselves, but at least she is starting to recover now, and hopefully she will learn from her mistakes.

Ever since Zenko left, the admins on the Reception wikis and their followers now taken their hate of her to the extreme that they delete her contributions without remorse by using "high treason" as an excuse to make all the bad things that Zenko hates "look good" and then make Zenko herself "look bad". This is unethical since Zenko hates what she hates for very good reasons, since a lot of the things that she hates are bad. (i.e. the Deviant that she hates so much is a killer. This is a good reason to hate him. She also had good reasons to hate crossover pairings, too.) Zenko may have been mean to the admins and users of the wikis she's been to, but that's only because they didn't stop public shaming her and wanted her to do something that she didn't want to do. They wanted Zenko to join their Discord and other social media, which she didn't want to do (and she didn't join them anyway), since she is an introvert and wanted to keep her information unknown. It shows that they don't like introverts, which is a darn shame. What they did has made her overreact, got very upset with them, and once they kept acting belligerent towards her with no remorse that they blocked her, she had to leave for good. Zenko is a good person in general — She follows good morals, has a great knowledge of popular culture, and she did the best she could to be nice to everyone she meets on the site before she left — She did not show any "true colors" and she did not even lie. This is why I will never post on any of the Miraheze sites because I do not want to follow the same paths that Zenko did before she got blocked.

I suggest that you don't say or discuss anything about Zenko anymore since she has become very depressed after she left after being picked on many times, and both her name and experience on Miraheze are now old news.

The same goes for my other sibling Vos, who hasn't edited anything since August, so I assume that Vos made the wise decision of staying away from all the drama that our sister Zenko has been to and not look back. Vos and I will make sure that Zenko recovers and not make these same mistakes again.

Now, I won't try to dissuade you from being passionate about something or having freedom of speech, but I only came here to remind you that it is impossible to convince everyone to think the same way about everything as you do, and it is not worth your time and frustration to keep making all of these "Reception" wikis when there is no need for such wikis to exist when you can easily write your own film/game/show/book reviews elsewhere. Think of your favorite food, and then consider there is somebody out there in the whole world that happens to think that food is awful. The same goes for your least favorite food, and think that there is someone who thinks it is absolutely wonderful. You will never convince them otherwise because that's just how it tastes to them! I hope that makes sense...
