Request #22331
I am not saying you should decline that wiki request or delete that wiki now, but the wiki has the same topic as my wiki, making it a duplicate.  Anpang 📨 04:55, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * There is nothing stating in the content policy that wikis with the same subject are prohibited (I think), and therefore he had no choice but to accept the request that has the clear scope. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 04:58, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it does appear to be a duplicate and thus in violation of the "A wiki must not create problems which make it difficult for other wikis" clause of the Content Policy. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:14, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * A wiki that creates problems for another wiki has another meaning, that is: citing the wiki creating attacks/defaming. This does not include in the same topic. The requester perhaps, let alone DMM didn't know that this wiki of Anpang existed and requested the wiki of their interest, so the goal really isn't to create a concurrency here, this js accidental, and it doesn't apply here. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 05:23, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That specific Content Policy provision covers duplicate wikis and prohibits them and forks that are very similar in content, not just defamatory attacks. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:33, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think there should be a clarification of that in an updated content policy.
 * Also there's a conversation on discord about this too  Anpang 📨 05:35, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Anpang, what wiki is your wiki? I don't know if anyone's asked that here. In any case, to clarify, Content Policy doesn't prohibit two wikis from sharing the same topic or topics. That provision covers fork wikis; wikis which are made up of a substantial majority of copied content from an existing Miraheze wiki, with little or no changes to the content. A wiki creator should, if they know that we have a similar wiki covering the same topic, decline the wiki request as needing clarification in terms of the wiki's scope, in accordance with Content Policy. Additionally, as a recommended best practice, the wiki creator should also first invite users to continue contributing and requesting rights on that wiki. As well, as another recommended best practice, wiki creators should, if they don't know if we have a similar wiki, do a bit of very basic research to see whether we do. In any case and in this case, I suspect DarkMatterMan4500 did not know we had a similar wiki sharing this topic, so I thought I'd share these tips with him for the future.

 * mh:space:Astronomy Wiki  Anpang 📨 07:43, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, you'd be right about that. I either forgot that wiki was specifying about or didn't even know his wiki came into existence WAY before I approved that specified wiki request. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:33, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

What was the reason for this change that left the pages all messed up? I did not understand. Please explain, thank you. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 21:02, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I wasn't trying to mess up the page. Then again, I think it's best you let another admin talk to me. Admins like, , and/or even or other admins should be the ones telling me to be careful. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:08, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not claiming that you were trying to mess up the page, I'd rather believe that maybe this was accidental, and, any user is free to volunteer and warn about changes that don't help, that's not just the admin's job, even you've done that. related to modules. The point is just to let you know, keep that in mind, thanks! --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 21:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Could you please block this user from mh:wretchedyoutubevideos:Wretched YouTube Videos Wiki? They keep removing content without explanation. I even messaged them about it and yet they didn't reply, instead they just kept removing content without explanation. FatBurn0000 (talk) 09:18, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * You know, you don't have to message me here on Meta. But I'll look at his edits later. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:26, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, I do because I can't access your talk page on there for some reason. FatBurn0000 (talk) 06:36, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look at his edits as soon as I can. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:11, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Well I did see a minor copy-paste edit from the user, but a warning should suffice for now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:15, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, could you please delete the mh:besttvshows:SML Movies and Shorts (2007-2016) page on Best Shows & Episodes Wiki and instead import the mh:amazingyoutubers:SML Movies and Shorts (pre-2017) on Amazing YouTubers Wiki to Best Shows & Episodes Wiki with all revisions copied and all edits assigned to users if they exist locally? The page that's on BSAEW now was copypasted. FatBurn0000 (talk) 23:40, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Deleting the page is unnecessary and should not be done. There is no reason to wipe out later revision history, though semantically a proper import combined with the linked function is correct. --Raidarr (talk) 00:49, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, could you do that? FatBurn0000 (talk) 22:32, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe I could do that (with all the right tools), but I don't think it would be fair for him to inferfere with the process, only for it to be deleted moments later. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:37, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are confident in doing so, by all means, otherwise I can indeed do it myself as long as I am able to export the source page. --Raidarr (talk) 23:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Ping fix
You can't edit pings like you tried to do here. It must be correct the first time or it won't send. Also, regarding the edit summary, refrain from insulting just Stewards? I would advise people to refrain from insulting anyone. Naleksuh (talk) 20:50, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I tried doing that the first time, only to realize that I did it incorrectly. As for the rest of what you said, I thought I was receiving a warning by a non-admin. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:53, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Even though I agree that you should name all users, not just stewards, but he's just a sysadmin, not just an admin, local admin. Also, I recommend you must quote the content policy on the wikis you accept. --YellowFrogger  (Talk — ✐) 21:06, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not a sysadmin, but just a local admin of around 30 wikis so far as of the time I'm writing this. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:13, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I know that. I was saying that Naleksuh was a system administrator --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 02:22, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Wiki requests
Hello DarkMatterMan4500. Please be aware that due to the lack of a current on-hold status, other wiki creators may leave comments in the comments box to ask the requestor for more information. For example, Special:RequestWikiQueue/22397 where another wiki creator had asked the requestor for a comment about the domain name chosen yet you approved the request without any being provided. In the future, please make sure to look at the entirety of wiki requests before acting on them. Thanks. Naleksuh (talk) 03:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I didn't even realize you declined it, but I approved it because the description looked good to me. Then again, I didn't even know you even declined it. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:14, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't decline it, I commented, and it was on hold from approving. Either way, I am not suggesting you knew, just reminding to look at the whole request including the comments in the future. Naleksuh (talk) 16:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I have question.
Hello DarkMatterMan4500! I am new here but I have two questions if you don't mind to answer; how long does the confirmation email arrive after I put my email address? And secondly, have you checked my wiki request yet? Its #22419 Peakbread (talk) 13:27, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I have declined your wiki request due to lack of details, and also, regarding your 2nd question, it shouldn't take you long. If I can remember, it should only take about a few minutes or so. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:32, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I responded back with more details, hence why I was waiting for day. Peakbread (talk) 14:32, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * There's just a problem: I haven't seen anything on the recent changes about that wiki request being updated as of the time I'm replying to this. You might want to try that again. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:36, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * And the email confirmation hasn't arrived in my yahoo inbox as I also checked thoroughly into the spam and trash folders but it hasn't arrived yet for three days. Peakbread (talk) 14:42, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Then your best bet is to resend it. I'm not a genius or anything, but I believe a few other users like or  might have a definitive answer for you on how to solve your dilemma. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:44, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, when you meant "You might want to try that again." do you mean that I should request a wiki again? Peakbread (talk) 14:45, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No, I didn't mean request another wiki. However, what I meant to say is for you to go back to your original wiki request like this particular wiki request, then click "Edit request", then you're free to add more details into the request. Hope that helps. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:46, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for helping out and sorry for bothering you. Peakbread (talk) 14:48, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, it's no problem at all. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:48, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Falsely blocked on Okay Movies Wiki
All I did was make a small edit and add a deletion tag to a troll page. I don't understand what I did wrong, I am not a bad person. SoapyTheMonkey (talk) 02:26, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * To be fair, you looked a bit odd, so I might just unblock you later. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:37, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, and before I do that This arouses this question: How did you know that page was there to begin with? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:41, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Recent Changes. I have it at 180 days. SoapyTheMonkey (talk) 03:50, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Then it could very well be a coincidence that you showed up out of nowhere. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:35, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree. Though it's not that strange from my point of view because I viewed the wiki long before I made an account. SoapyTheMonkey (talk) 19:45, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, have you actually edited under a prior account? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:47, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

so
how are you Octahedron foundation (talk) 18:43, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Oct 29 to Nov 30 to now
Re special:diff/215512 no I wasn't wondering because you did date the comment.

I am reiterating that yes we can talk, but obviously as you can see I am not very competent when it comes to checking meta.miraheze on a regular basis so it may be staggered if you prefer talk pages to e-mails. ty 15:54, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:26, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
