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 wikis have (obviously spambot created) fake users hidden? Rob Kam (talk) 10:30, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Block the user. Then use IRC and send a list for the users to be locked to the stewards since account actions are global. Thanks Sau226 (talk) 07:40, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Not to be locked, they only ever use the account once anyway but to be hidden so that in the User list fake spambot users don't outnumber the real contributing users. --Rob Kam (talk) 11:02, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Here's a list from SDIY wiki of the spambot created fake one-time user IDs. These have all triggered the abuse filter. Please can they be removed from the list of users? --Rob Kam (talk) 12:47, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Abuse Report: Attack site to delete
https://navaverse.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page is an attack site, dedicated specifically to hatefully attacking my person and work, created by a long-term cross-site harasser. Please delete it and terminate its creator account immediately. DummyDummyAccountContact (talk) 15:02, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * if possible, could you send an email to staff@miraheze.org (or stewards@miraheze.org) with more information? Currently, it is difficult to determine exactly what is being targeted by the contents of the wiki. Any additional information you could provide us that would help to identify the issue would be appreciated. (Any information you provide to those emails will be kept confidential unless you request otherwise). -- Void  Whispers 18:18, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Email sent, please tend to it ASAP. DummyDummyAccountContact (talk) 18:36, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅. Staff may see the response here -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 18:23, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Rename username
Hi, I want my UnCrisitano username to be changed to UnCristiano. This because I registered it with an error. UnCrisitano (talk) 15:35, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Void  Whispers 17:49, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Void . UnCristiano (talk) 17:57, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello Void  Is it possible to change my name in Phabricator?. This is because it appears with the wrong name: UnCrisitano when it should be UnCristiano like here. --UnCristiano (talk) 17:52, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Since you only had 3 mentions on Phabricator and you were email-confirmed, I've renamed your Phabricator account. You will have to reset your password via email to login. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 18:21, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
