A request.
Hello. I would like to be a bureaucrat on the wiki Controversial Wikis & Users Wiki (https://controversialwikisandusers.miraheze.org/). I am taking care of that wiki since it was close to getting inactive. Without me, that wiki would get closed down due to inactivity. And so I decided to become a bureaucrat on that wiki and some people there even want me to be it. So, what do you say?
 * , if the wiki is not even inactive yet, it cannot be adopted. It can't be adopted until it's been in closed status. So, you really have two options: wait until it's closed, or organize a local election on that wiki, taking into account any local policies on the wiki governing local elections and promotions. Then, following the election or selection process (typically at least seven (7) days, but there's some leeway here), notify the stewards at Stewards' noticeboard or by tagging  on Discord to the diff or permalink to assess your local election. Hope this helps. Also, please remember to sign your posts with  . Dmehus (talk) 15:59, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * . I am not going to adopt this wiki. I just want to be a bureaucrat there.
 * Please try and remember to sign your posts with four tildes . Thanks. As to your question, okay, but  can't do anything as a steward without a request coming from the wiki. Thus, if you hold a local election or selection process, with clear parameters or specifications for your selection and election where no local policies exist, then after seven (7) days, you can come back here and ping Void to action the local request that has gone ignored by inactive bureaucrats. I apologize for the bureaucracy here, but this bureaucracy is useful bureaucracy in that it protects wikis from hostile takeovers that may have otherwise active bureaucrats. Dmehus (talk) 17:58, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Here is proof that people on that wiki want me to be a bureaucrat: https://controversialwikisandusers.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:CarlFilip19. Also, is this how you sign with four tildes (look at the source)? CarlFilip19 (talk) 14:59, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * A local  election or selection process could theoretically occur anywhere on the wiki, and your user talk page, while somewhat less common, is a reasonable location. For what it's worth, I see only an anonymous user and one registered user expressing opinions. Nonetheless, this at least gives  something by which he can assess. Dmehus (talk) 15:45, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, how can the election start? If it involves a user, who can start it? CarlFilip19 (talk) 15:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, it depends on the local wiki's election rules, if any. If they do not have any local rules, then global policies, conventions, and customs guide stewards. Common practice is to organize either a community discussion or poll (if the wiki has the polling extension) in a prominent location. You could set the election timeframe, but common global practice is that the election should run for at least 5-7 calendar days. When it has concluded, you would return to Void's user talk page or, ideally, to Stewards' noticeboard, linking to the location on the local wiki where the election was held. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 16:14, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But it will not be easy for me to do. Why? Because now when I try accessing a Miraheze page on my computer, the page does not work and I see a white screen with the message and an "HTTP ERROR 400" thing. It used to happen occasionally so I could access for a short amount of time, but now I cannot access these pages at all with my computer. I wrote this message with my phone, which is inferior for navigation through the wikis (I had to type the entire URL of certain pages (like the special Recent Changes page at a wiki) to get there). May you please do something about how Miraheze pages cannot be accessed by some computers (including modern ones and my computer is modern)? CarlFilip19 (talk) 14:03, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ( (talk-page stalker) ) Hi. I'd like to point out that HTTP ERROR 400 is not something that Miraheze is causing and it is a client side error. Perhaps this help page will be able to help you fix it, though I recommend trying to clear your cache and cookies for Miraheze to begin. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 14:19, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I use a desktop PC to access the Miraheze wikis, without issue, and prefer the navigation to the mobile navigation. As to the HTTP error 400, I believe that may likely be an issue with your cookies. Try clearing (deleting) all your cookies for the  domain and restarting your web browser. Dmehus (talk) 14:21, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

User page's
Hey there how do you create a user page? --Admiral SpongeBob (talk) 11:43, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * There are two types of user pages, local user pages and global user pages that appear on every Miraheze wiki on which your account has been attached (i.e., you visited that wiki at least once) and where you've not created a local user page. If you would like to have a local user page on Meta alone, then you just click on the user link in this thread, and begin by creating your new page. If you want a global user page, then you will go to mh:login:User:Admiral SpongeBob and create your page. Note that you may wish to perform a few edits, perhaps in your sandbox, and wait until your account is at least four days old, so that you become, if you want to link to your social media profiles on external websites. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 12:13, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Vandal/sock
Nepgear-AFM is a vandal that has vandalized on multiple wikis. The vandal appears to be a sock of Autist Alif from Samarinda. GondorChicken (talk) 17:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Notice this message, PLEASE
I have kindly asked on the adoption requests if I could adopt Horrible Music and Songs Wiki on Miraheze. Could you let me adopt it please? I will take good care of it and help revive it and put it back into quality. So could you please let me become the new owner? - Disintegrated.to.pieces (talk) 22:16, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I've replied at Requests for adoption; the wiki is not "closed," so it cannot be undertaken. Instead, what you can do, if the wiki has no active bureaucrats, is hold a local election, taking care to abide by any local policies governing such elections or selections. If no local policies exist, typically, this means holding some sort of election, or vote, that runs at least seven calendar days and lists the candidates for election and the number of bureaucrat vacancies available. When the local process has concluded, you would return to Stewards' noticeboard ideally, as there are other stewards besides who can assess your local election, and a steward will assess your process and take the appropriate action(s) necessary (typically, by granting rights to the successful candidate(s)).

Sockpuppet report.
Hello. Inkster has a sockpuppet called "Cerok" and this is what he is going to do with it:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HXGFKHJgxx19cN68iw70CSECRdXpYmcjNVV8AYCNwz4/edit?usp=sharing

Yes. The New Reception Wiki does take pages from other wikis, but it tries to do a better (and less biased) take on these pages due to how some wikis (like Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki) are a bit unreasonable.

May you globally lock that account "Cerok"? CarlFilip19 (talk) 13:30, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

P.S. For sefety reasons, try not to tell him who reported this account. Okay? CarlFilip19 (talk) 13:41, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , thank you for signing your posts with four tildes . is only one steward and for reports of users allegedly abusing multiple accounts, per user accounts policy, your best bet is probably to e-mail , but note that you will be expected to cite on-wiki behavioural evidence, with specific links to the diffs or permalinks to the individual revisions of the similar activity by all user accounts referenced in your report. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 13:46, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I do not know what you mean, but this link to a Google Document is all the evidence I have that Cerok is Inkster. Look man, "Cerok" blocked me on The New Reception Wiki (https://thenewreceptionwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges) and hid edit revisions to hide evidence! I also got banned from the Discord server "The Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki Database", perhaps because to prevent me from getting more evidence. Okay? CarlFilip19 (talk) 19:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not suggesting this is the case, but I also haven't looked at that Google document, but the reason for requiring on-wiki evidence is to prove that the wiki user being reported is the same user as on other websites. If that is just a simple compilation of your diffs or permalinks that you've collected, then I should still suggest reporting this to  as opposed to Void's user talk page, per my comments above that we have more than one steward. So, it makes sense for these reports to be provided to all stewards. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 19:28, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It's pretty painfully obvious that these two accounts (Cerok and Inkster) are the same user. However, the accounts haven't really engaged in behavior warranting sanctions yet. You can point someone this way to confirm that they are the same, and if further issues occur, please let me know. -- Void  Whispers 00:16, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Help with protection.
I would like to become a bureaucrat on this wiki: https://terriblenicheaudienceshows.miraheze.org/wiki/ Because I want this attempt to be decent and I want to protect it from toxic preschool show haters who would make history repeat itself. I want to be made into a bureaucrat by a global sysop since the owner of the wiki is not around and there are no active admins there. If I can improve that wiki, I can finally turn it into a decent place for people to tell people what is wrong with the flawed preschool shows and I can protect pages about good ones from being created. That rule about "no niché audience shows" TTVSW has? That only applies on that wiki (plus, Best TV Shows Wiki has pages about good niché audience shows). Read the main page of "terriblenicheaudienceshows" for more information for this wiki (ignoring the people wanting it shut down). CarlFilip19 (talk) 08:26, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * What's the status of that wiki, inactive, closed, or open? Regardless, you can always hold a clear local election consistent with any local policies on that wiki, as may exist, in a prominent location. Where no rules exist locally, you should state the position(s) up for election, the number of position(s) to be elected, the net support ratio required to be elected, and then list the candidates running. You should also state how many participants are required to express a view, too, and the election should be open for roughly at least, or close to, seven (7) calendar days. When it has concluded, you can either (a) report the location of the results to Stewards' noticeboard or (b) e-mail  with the name and URL of the wiki, the location of the results, and ask for steward action where there are no active, local bureaucrats. Thanks.  Dmehus (talk) 14:42, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Well then. Tell me step-by-step how I hold an election. What buttons I have to click and such. CarlFilip19 (talk) 17:10, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I feel as though I've already given you pretty thorough step-by-step instructions above, and thus, further instruction is not needed. Hope this helps. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 14:29, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Rename request
Ey, can you change my name to Glitchedblood? Thanks.
 * First, as a housekeeping matter, please remember to sign your talk page and noticeboard posts on Meta with four tildes to add your username, talk page link, and timestamp to your posts. Second, you can request a global rename yourself at Special:GlobalRenameRequest. If you have already requested this, great. Your request will be processed, generally, in the order it was received (though users with few global contributions and attached accounts may be processed first given that those requests take less time for the   to process). Most renames are usually completed within since having been first requested. Hope this helps. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 14:27, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Firstly, please remember to sign your talk page, user talk page, and noticeboard posts with four tildes . Secondly, am I to assume correctly you've requested a rename through Special:GlobalRenameRequest? If so, then you've done all that needs to be done, and a steward will process your request, generally, within 1-2 weeks time. It's usually closer to one week, though. Thanks.

A wiki website statement hosted in Miraheze.
Dear Administer: Recently, we learned that some people intend to report to Miraheze after the content of the game encyclopedic book（Chinese：游戏百科书wiki） wiki is published in violation of the Miraheze Terms of Service, the People's Republic of China and the laws of the United Kingdom, and the gamencypedia wiki strongly condemns such a sloppy idea! If the game encyclopedic book wiki found such content, will be involved in the personnel to carry out a minimum of 1000 years of prohibition measures, if necessary, we will try our best to cooperate with any country and region of the relevant departments to investigate, if the above-mentioned situation, the game encyclopedic book wiki will retain the right of receding! Serious cases will immediately report to the Public Security Department of the People's Republic of China to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests granted to us by the law and the miraheze Terms of Service! In addition, we have received extortion information, we have been to the People's Republic of China public security departments online report, any illegal acts will be severely punished by the law!城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 08:23, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm? To my knowledge, that wiki has not been reported. Also, at a cursory glance, there does not seem to be any problem with the contents of your wiki. If there are any specific concerns, please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Void (talk • contribs) 15:12, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Help. We have a problem on the Horrible Vyonders Wiki.
I hope you, Reception123 and the rest of the staff can resolve this issue about the fake Elias D accounts. It's occurring on this article: https://horriblevyonderswiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Elias_D_The_Vyonder DarkMatterMan4500 {talk} 23:59, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I note that you have now posted this on two users' talk pages. Your posts will get more attention on stewards' noticeboard, which all stewards and Global Sysops monitor. Or, alternatively, consider joining us on Discord or IRC for even faster response. Dmehus (talk) 01:12, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

These wikis are harassing and doxxing users.
These wikis to be precise Atrocious YouTubers Wiki, Horrible Vyonders Wiki, and Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki.

They are harassing users, and they hate SJWs. We need them banned ASAP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D Mob (talk • contribs) 18:53, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * As I previously and also stated here on my user talk page, first, while I am not a steward, I will say that I, too, have noticed highly problematic content on those wikis. However, your reports will get more attention of stewards if you link to a series of pages on each of the wikis and explain how and in what way(s) the given wikis are violating Content Policy and their users are violating the Code of Conduct. In terms of the latter, linking to specific revisions and/or specific users' Special:Contributions pages on the given given wikis is also helpful. Second, you should remember to sign your posts with four tildes . Third, you should also, ideally, make only one post, ideally on stewards' noticeboard, but it is also acceptable to use a steward's or my user talk page, and I'll forward your report to a steward. Finally, please do not change other users' posts, as you did here, which has been reverted. If I see that again, in such an egregious manner, I will have no choice but to temporarily block or partially block you on Meta to prevent this egregious disruptive editing. As well, activities like that seriously undermine your credibility in what might otherwise be the early workings of a very legitimate complaint to stewards.

Problem with vandal (and that's not all)
Hi. I have a problem on nonciclopedia.org with a serial vandal that makes me difficult even to report himself. No admin is active now on that site and I don't want to fall into an edit war. Can you give it a glance?

Moreover, I cannot access with my own credentials due to a "problem with authentication script", but only here on Meta. I'm User:Sacro Riglionese Impero and I'm writing as an anonymous user.--IP editor 21:28, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about that authentication script problem you are having, but I will alert system administrators to that problem, and Counter Vandalism Team to the vandalism problem on that wiki. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 22:29, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The IP vandal has been ✅ by Global Sysop . Regarding your login issue, the good news is it is most likely a client-side issue, and you just need to clear your web browser's cookies and local cache for  or ignore the error message likely warning you about session hijacking and just hit "login" again. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 22:43, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help, but he is back at it. As you can see, he is engaging in edit wars and vandalizing talk and project pages.--Sacro Riglionese Impero (talk) 08:44, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

 * First, welcome to Meta and to the Miraheze community. Second, (Please sign your posts on talk pages by using four tildes like this: .) . Third, to your question, this looks like a fairly straightforward gadget installation that is not too dissimilar to from setting up the Navigation Popups gadget. Though not required, have you considered engaging with us on our Discord or IRC server? It's quite easy to do—the former requires only a Discord account, and you can verify your Discord account with your wiki account using OAuth. The latter doesn't require an account, but will note your IP address unless you request a Miraheze IRC cloak from a system administrator. You can access the IRC server easily at . In any case, for these sort of one-on-one, highly personalized wiki technical support questions, they really are the best channel for the quickest resolution to your problem, as wikitext is somewhat sub-optimal for repeated back-and-forth chat-like question and answer discussions. Dmehus (talk) 06:09, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I'm sorry about blocking you on my wiki.
I'm sorry for blocking you on wiki.ostans.com. You were probably the poor steward who took on the case of a harassing spammer I brought up on an old account.

In my paranoia, I blocked you, assuming you were the spammer. I just now noticed that you were, in fact, not the spammer.

I'm sure you don't really care about participating on the wiki in question, but I'm sorry that I impeded your volunteering in paranoia.

The picture I picked looks a lot like a cat I have in real life. I hope you like it, and please keep up the good work.

Something Unexpected Happened
I'm Shaunak Chakraborty, the founder of Gyaanipedia. Today when I landed to its English site https://en.gyaanipedia.co.in I saw something unexpected, it was showing Closed Wiki box on its top, in my knowledge this box automatically appears when a wiki has been not edited for 60 days but this wiki is last edited few hours ago and the most active wiki in the Gyaanipedia projects. Then I found others Gyaanipedia wikis also which is hosted on Miraheze has been closed, which is totally weird. I immediately unchecked the closed box in every wiki. All these wikis has been last edited few hours or days ago. I just want to know that Is this a planned act or a mistake/bug. Please look at this case and kindly let me know that now my wikis are safe or now. There are a lots of hardwork of years in this wikis. Thanking you with due respect. Shaunak Chakraborty (talk) 14:16, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, if the wiki has not been edited for 60 days it will close the wiki and you can request for a steward to reopen it via stewards noticeboard, and yes if Wikis are not edited in a certain amount of time (60 days) it will automatically close the wiki, the reason the message still appears is because a admin crate or steward needs to reopen the wiki.

Please help me Shaunak Chakraborty (talk) 10:36, 19 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I have answered this on stewards' noticeboard for you. Arguably, the best place to ask this question would've been at community noticeboard, as it is a technical question regarding your wiki. Nevertheless, please try and avoid asking duplicate questions on multiple noticeboards, including de facto noticeboards, such as Void's user talk page. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 14:07, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for informing this. I am very sorry for my act. I will be careful from next time. Shaunak Chakraborty (talk) 15:34, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It's ✅, as our noticeboards can be a bit confusing. Basically, stewards' noticeboard is for any issues with your or other wikis' that require a steward tools to act, community noticeboard is for any technical support-type questions regarding your wiki, pan Miraheze community proposals, and local interwiki change requests, and Administrators' noticeboard is for anything on Meta that doesn't seem quite right or which should be changed.

Close Controversial Wikis & Users Wiki. It is another "user wiki".
https://controversialwikisandusers.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page CarlFilip19 (talk) 06:33, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've had a brief look at the wiki in question and, while I do personally find what little content is available on that wiki to be at least somewhat objectionable, I think it's probably an edge case, at best, for Stewards to take any action in accordance with Content Policy. That being said, there's also not much on that wiki that is honestly worth keeping, to be honest. So, rather than Stewards entangling themselves in something that should be resolved locally, my preference would be for this to be locally handled. Noting that the wiki's sole bureaucrat, Se, has never made a contribution to the wiki and the wiki is largely inactive, here's how I recommend you approach this, which would see you hold a local election on the wiki for the position of . Since the wiki has no local permissions elections policies, global customs and conventions can be taken into consideration, which means that the election should last for at least 5-7 calendar days.
 * You would begin by creating an election page on that wiki, on a prominent page, stating the number and type of position(s) you're running for (i.e., administrator, bureaucrat), the name(s) of the candidate(s) running, the minimum support ratio required for a successful election, and whether an election can be declared successful after the minimum timeframe if no one expresses a view (i.e., election by acclamation). Once your process has concluded (recommended to last for at least 5-7 calendar days), return to stewards' noticeboard and, in a new thread, state the wiki address, local location of the election, and a steward will assess your local election in absence of a local bureaucrat.
 * Once that process has concluded, you would then be able to request that a steward remove any inactive bureaucrat(s) from the wiki, and close and make private that wiki. Current steward convention is that manually closed wikis are ineligible for adoption at requests for adoption. In addition, while preference is for Dormancy Policy to take care of the deletion in six months time, if your wiki's community held a further second local vote for accelerated deletion, Stewards can be requested to facilitate deletion of your wiki in consideration of that local consensus.
