 * I'm neither a Steward nor a Global Sysop, so I can't lock accounts, nor CheckUser them, which is what I think you're requesting, rather than a lock. OrangeStar (talk) 12:21, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know, you seem to know how to handle it and nobody answers me, so I don't have many solutions. Darkrai18 (talk) 12:49, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * There could a be a lot of reasons, not the least is that CheckUser investigations can be very tedious and Stewards here have a lot of roles, so they may just not have gotten around to CheckUser-ing these accounts (keep in mind, before even starting the investigation they'll first run through all of these accounts' contribs for proof that a CheckUser is even warranted). They'll eventually do it, until that moment just block the sockpuppets as they appear. I also recommend that you add some more details to this report, for example direct links to the diffs were these suspected sockpuppets were vandalizing. For example:
 * Here's QTiang559 vandalizing the Hermione Granger article, with exactly the same text as blocked user CyanKnight201: mh:fiction:Special:Diff/97448/prev OrangeStar (talk) 13:13, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I've done this before, as the vandalism is localized almost only on one page, just check the history to see it. Darkrai18 (talk) 13:51, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but it's better to point to specific diffs, as it speeds up the process of determining if a CheckUser is needed. OrangeStar (talk) 14:02, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

At least 95% of the pages on there, do not have a source for reference.

 * If you're gonna go out of your way to get a wiki meant to educate people about real life villains and why people should not be them, then that means you are enabling bad people. RoboticBloxxer (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The concern raised here is that the wiki is mostly unsourced. Given that it has many articles dealing with people, this could be a potential violation of CP 3 (and anyway, ignoring whatever the policy may say, it's best to include sources for the claims in any article whenever it's dealing with real life stuff, be it living people or other things). It's not our intention to enable bad people. OrangeStar (talk) 17:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Adopting REWW
A month ago, I asked what I should do to become a bureaucrat on Reception Wikis Wiki (REWW), and I was told to start a local election and give it two weeks. I did so, and it's been a month and has not received any replies. What should I do now? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 20:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Was a notice posted on the main page or anywhere else of high visibility? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 04:22, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh. I forgot I could do that.
 * It's been two weeks since I updated the sitenotice, and users seem to be pretty approving of me being a bureaucrat. Could I please become a bureaucrat now? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 19:21, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Close RfCs where no local bureaucrat is available
I am requesting that Stewards close my 2 RfCs on Reception Wikis whenever possible, as there are no local bureaucrats to close/act on them. --<span style="font-weight: bold; background:linear-gradient(#ff00ff,#c800c8,purple,#c800c8,#ff00ff);; -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Blad  (talk • contribs • accounts) 16:07, 23 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Both RfCs will be closed once it reaches the 5 day mark or at least 1 or 2 more days depending on if something SNOWballs. As for the first RfC however, I would not feel comfortable closing it as successful due to the nature of the wiki. It would be very premature to close any of these RfCs at this moment, especially Bluba's revocation. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The 2 RfCs have now hit the 8 day mark, can they be closed now? --<span style="font-weight: bold; background:linear-gradient(#ff00ff,#c800c8,purple,#c800c8,#ff00ff);; -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 22:12, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Ban of information about users
While I get that wikis with negative information about users are banned, or at least, frowned upon, are users allowed to have pages about them on wikis if the pages are written in a neutral way and all information is sourced? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 21:18, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. The current Content Policy only prohibits slanderous claims against (groups of) people. As you said, the content would be sourced, and I believe the page you are talking about was adequately sourced and not really all too negative. --<span style="font-weight: bold; background:linear-gradient(#ff00ff,#c800c8,purple,#c800c8,#ff00ff);; -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Blad  (talk • contribs • accounts • email) 21:30, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If I am aware Real Life Villains Wiki has pages that are not fully sourced. And some pages are about Internet Users. Nidoking (talk) 19:26, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Tell the sysops to delete them if they're problematic. There's a delete template somewhere. --<span style="font-weight: bold; background:linear-gradient(#ff00ff,#c800c8,purple,#c800c8,#ff00ff);; -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Blad  (talk • contribs • accounts) 20:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed, per clause 3 of the Content Policy what isn't allowed is "unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people." It also says that content which is "fairly balanced, meaningful or substantiated by independent referencing" is allowed. If pages are "neutral" and "sourced" there is no issue and there wouldn't be a violation of that clause. Regarding Real Life Villains, if there are pages which are not sourced they should indeed either be sourced or removed. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 10:32, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I should point out though that wikis that seem like 'reception wikis' are currently on hold per the RfC. While not explicitly defined there, it would usually be a wiki that states positive and negative qualities about users for its main purpose. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 10:35, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * At least 95% percent of the pages on Real Life Villains are not sourced. Nidoking (talk) 11:43, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If that's true, then open another thread here for potential content policy violations.

Exemption policy for "RisingBeat Wiki"
Hello, I am the owner of the RisingBeat Wiki. For several months, my staff and I have extensively followed and covered the English release of this game, as can be seen on the wiki. However, the English version of the game shut down on May 2021. Although we have attempted to shift our focus from just the English release to also include the original Japanese game, it is undoubtable that since the game's closure, our activity has gone down significantly. In addition, I have several other projects that I'm preoccupied with (including admining other Miraheze wikis) and have not been able to devote as much time to this particular wiki. Still, our wiki is probably one of the most comprehensive documentation of the game, especially as it includes story text from the game that is no longer accessible due to the game's closure. My worry is that with the dormancy policy and the possible deletion that can result from it, this runs the risk of losing all of this documentation. Therefore, I would like to formally request a Dormancy Exemption for this wiki. Thank you for your consideration! Kiwibasket (talk) 15:25, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Apologies for prodding, but I was wondering if there was an update to the possibility of dormancy exemption? Kiwibasket (talk) 11:46, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Question
hi excuse me but in my wikitrash I can not see anything and I am told that in order to see my wikis or even the contributions I have to be part of my group. can anyone help me out of this situation ?? when I go to wikitrash the only thing I see is "NOT SUFFICIENT PERMITS" A1cb3 (talk) 22:15, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi! So, a quick look at CentralAuth reveals that the issue is exactly that, you don't have the necessary user rights to access the wiki because it is a private wiki. The people that can help you are the Stewards, this is the Meta admin noticeboard, they can't help you. I'll move your thread over to the Stewards noticeboard.
 * I also noticed that you're not the original founder of that wiki, checked using the farmer log. If local admins decided to remove you, it is very unlikely Stewards will intervene. OrangeStar (talk) 22:23, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Dormancy Policy exemption for
After an anonymous user made a report about Decyclopedia on this noticeboard in October, I announced that Decyclopedia was moving to an independent domain. That issue has since been resolved, but I still went ahead with the move, completing it by importing the images to the new domain last night. I would like a Dormancy Policy exemption for the Decyclopedia on Miraheze, since that wiki has now been archived and is no longer meant to be edited. Tali64³ (talk) 21:05, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * If the wiki moved, why does it need an exemption? Wouldn't a deletion be better? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:38, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * If the wiki were to be deleted, visitors would be confused on why the wiki suddenly disappeared. Google's search results still show the Miraheze version, so it would be necessary to keep it up until the new domain appears in search results and all the relevant links are updated. Tali64³ (talk) 14:24, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Exemption Request
Can you please add an exemption to our The Lion King wiki? It's private and meant to be viewed by us and our other irl friends only. Admittedly we don't have much on it yet, but we will be adding more content to it soon.

https://thelionking.miraheze.org/wiki/ Keznen (talk) 17:17, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * ❌ I myself revoked your Dormancy Policy exemption as you had not used the wiki in years per Special:Log. Before today, you had 1 page with 2 sentences on the wiki. As such, I will not be inclined to grant it until much later once you have a good number of substantive pages. 1 page after 4 years of a wiki being open does not justify an exemption. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:18, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * If we add more full pages next week, would we still have to wait until "much later"?
 * Also, what would "a good number of substantive pages" be? We can go ahead and copy off one of the public TLK wikis and edit out the stuff that doesn't adhere to our canon if need be.
 * But we can't add something like 50 pages with full paragraphs when our TLK universe doesn't have that amount of content yet. It simply isn't possible. Most characters are minor and wouldn't have that much to be said about them.
 * Please clarify so we can decide whether to keep our The Lion King wiki here or try to find somewhere else to host it (ShoutWiki if that gets fixed, not sure where we'll move it otherwise since Wikia/FANDUMB is unusable). Keznen (talk) 22:07, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, you would have to wait. You've held an empty wiki for 4 entire years without any need to have activity on it, a privilege none of our 5,000 other wikis and 10,000 wikis ever created on Miraheze had, have, or will ever have, and would've probably not returned to it any time soon had your exemption not been revoked and an email sent to you about your wiki being closed. Please read Dormancy Policy for information on how we determine requests. We will be inclined to grant a request once your wiki has a good number of pages and once time has passed. Your pages don't have to be huge paragraphs but the wiki has to be of substantive value and not just the one singular stub page your wiki had for over 4 years. For example, if your wiki discusses more topics in depth and more aspects of your universe then that'd count as substantive and I'd be inclined to regrant the exemption. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:46, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Well we will not wait another 4 years or even 1 year. We couldn't if we wanted to. We don't have that time even with schoolwork and writer's block aside.
 * If we have to wait a long time even after adding more content, we might as well not add anything at all. Why go through the effort for basically nothing? If the wiki is still in danger of being nuked we might as well not risk losing anything substantial. Especially infoboxes, which we don't have for our TLK Wiki yet and don't have any backups of. Maybe we'll add a little occasionally but we won't go adding tons of stuff if there's a looming threat of it being deleted.
 * Also, again, we mostly just have character pages in mind right now. We have a couple things of our own lore written down, but most stuff about the first movie (the only fully canon movie in our TLK universe; the sequel movie and show aren't for the most part) would have to pulled from elsewhere. We can only post what we have already and what we can find elsewhere that's usable. (Writer's block is a pain.)
 * We'll touch up the pages with some much-needed pictures and some basic info, and then just keep bumping it every few days until ShoutWiki finally fixes their broken creation wizard so we can move it there and delete the one here. Keznen (talk) 02:59, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm very glad to hear that 4 more years or even 1 more will not pass. As a reminder, you can backup your own wiki at Special:DataDump and Miraheze wikis are only deleted after 6-12 months of inactivity. If you add character pages then that'd be wonderful and would certainly help build your case towards an exemption. Hope to see your exemption application in a few weeks. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:59, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, phew! We'll continue adding more character pages, then. The templates should be working now so hopefully we'll have at least half of the character pages up in the following weeks.
 * Sorry for jumping the gun on you like that. It's been stressful for us all lately. Keznen (talk) 04:50, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

My wiki lost its immunity to the Dormancy Policy
Hi there, I'm the creator of the Crazybloxian Empire info wiki, which was one of my oldest worldbuilding projects. I had informed the people here many years ago that it was meant to be read and would not be updated for months, which gave it immunity to the Dormancy Policy. I recently found out when checking my mail that the immunity was revoked when I got an email saying the wiki had been closed. May I know exactly why it was revoked?

I don't use this website much, but I do wish for my wiki to remain up for archival purposes.

And yes, I did download a full data dump of the site. •• Fair0002 • Bureaucrat and Administrator of Crazybloxian Empire Wiki 07:13, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

 * What exactly counts as "activity"? If I never add any new content but show up every few days to fix spelling and grammar does that count as enough activity for Dormancy Policy immunity? •• Fair0002 • Bureaucrat and Administrator of Crazybloxian Empire Wiki 10:39, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Complicated issues with Polcompball Wiki
Was browsing the wiki during my unallocated free time, and I noticed that the local admins are planning to ban those 14 and under, which prolly violates the CoC.

 * 13 and under is against the Terms of Service. 14 is not required under the terms of service but the code of conduct makes no mention of this. Mostly it is a privacy issue and an irrelevant and redundant rule: they have no right or means to verify this and T&S only cares one year below. So it's a bit of a dumb rule for this reason.
 * Community discussion there takes place on their discord server, which should be found on their front page. --Raidarr (talk) 14:21, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Wiki Inactivity Exemption Request
Hello there, recently my wiki was lost due to an Outage, and it was recently restored, unfortunately, the entirety of the wiki was wiped and old media that was on it is no longer visible.

A feature that was also removed as a result of this, was the wiki Inactivity exemption that was enabled, The wiki is a private/public wiki, private being that only a certain permission can edit, but everyone can create a talk page and discuss the page.

The wiki typically doesn't receive much edits, and that is simply because with each new wiki page, I have to actually create the page, which takes quite a while sometimes, as typically, it has to be quite in depth, and sometimes it's a little challenging, with grammar and whatnot.

I was wondering, if it's okay with the staff, if I could have an inactivity exemption be placed on my wiki, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Kind regards, Chloe. (talk) 12:42, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

This Wiki had applied for a dormancy exemption some time ago, but due to Wiki database problems, all the original Wiki data was lost. Later, it applied for a rebuild queue, which made the dormancy exemption automatically invalid.

The wiki I contribute to (darkisle.miraheze.org) was affected by the outage and I'm unable to recovery any of it through my own means outside of the landing page. I was curious if there were any internal backups of the wiki available to be reinstated on the wiki.

Thanks.

Will wikis be marked as "inactive" after they reopen?
It's been almost 1 month since the database outage, and my wiki is still down. I last edited it on November 15th, and I'm just wondering if it takes over 60 days for the outage to be fixed will the wiki be marked as inactive? I'm also going to make frequent backups from this point onwards, just in case this happens again. Sheep42 (talk) 23:43, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Restore ManageWiki permissions in zhpartyball
Hey there,I am the founder of zhpartyball wiki. When I was editing in zhpartyball at 23:32 (UTC) on December 15, 2022, I accidentally deleted the Special: ManageWiki/permissions/bureaucat group. Does anyone here know how I can recover it? If an administrator can help me restore it? I would appreciate it if there were any. Thanks very much.
