SiteNotice keeps coming up
I have been working on my wiki off and on for the past month and still have the Site Notice populating that my wiki is dormant. Please advise on how to remove this from my site. It makes my other users nervous.


 * Like the notice itself says, " If there is activity on this wiki you can go on MediaWiki:Sitenotice and remove this notice yourself. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to Contact Us."
 * The notice was created on 14 May 2017 and was never removed. I've gone ahead and deleted it (replaced the notice with a single hyphen, "-") and it shouldn't show up again unless there are no more edits for 45 days.
 * I suggest you read Dormancy Policy and request an exemption if you need it. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 20:19, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * THANK YOU NDKilla I do need to request an exemption. I appreciate your help. Cheers, Slinkyspectator

Admin who was banned from our community needs their bureaucrat title removed
The wiki over at collabvm.miraheze.org is one about a community known as CollabVM. Recently, a higher up user known as Technoturnovers caused some trouble which resulted in them being banned from the community. However, we cannot remove their bureaucrat title for the wiki, and they may figure out that they still have Administrator rights on here and attempt to destroy our wiki. If an admin could remove the Bureaucrat role from Technoturnovers, that would be much appreciated.


 * This request brought some of the content on your wiki to my attention. I believe that the contents of several pages violate our Content Policy, including several instances of what could easily be considered hate speech. I've gone ahead and made your wiki "private" instead of outright removing all access to it, to allow local sysops to clean up the content. If you would like specific examples of unacceptable content, please email me/the staff at ndkilla@undefinedmiraheze.org or staff@undefinedmiraheze.org -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 21:04, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

CnocBrides request for Wikicreator
Hello! Some of you may know me others may not. I have been a member of this community for 1 year, 2 months, 9 days, 23 hours and 27 minutes as of posting this request. In my opinion thats quite some time and its been a lot of fun. Miraheze has enabled me to continue writing the content I love to produce on my personal wiki at Aeross and also expand my knowledge at TME.

That is why today I am requesting rights to become a Wiki creator. I really want to help the whole community out and what to give a helping hand to the administrators, stewards and all the other staff who keep this fantastic community up and running.

Problems about BASEPAGENAME and SUBPAGENAME
The and  may be broken. → (expected: Sth); → (expected: doc). Is that a bug?--SolidBlock (talk) 05:56, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Which wiki are you talking about? Could you link the page(s) with errors? Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:58, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Both this meta.* and rs.*. It seems to be error only with templates - it works normally for modules, projects and MediaWiki namespaces.--SolidBlock (talk) 08:02, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Please be aware that the namespaces may not be configured to have subpages. For example, meta only has the main and tech namespaces set up to have subpages. The default, which is the case for rswiki is that talk, user, user talk, project, project talk, file talk, mediawiki, mediawiki talk, template talk, help, help talk, category talk. I find it odd that more talk namespaces have subpages. Either way, if you would like your wiki to have more namespaces with subpages, let us know which ones here or on phabricator. Cheers -- Void  Whispers 20:39, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * See w:Wikipedia:subpages. The Template namespace should have subpages. Why do templates ∉ Wikipedia namespaces that do not have sub-pages?--SolidBlock (talk) 01:13, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It may be a problem. Template-namespace pages should (are expected to) have subpages (be able to use subpages) but the fact is not. It gets in the way a lot to use Lua, documentation pages and so on. So please solve.（这或许是一个问题. 模板名字空间的页面应该要有子页面（使用子页面）但事实是并没有. 这不利于使用Lua或者文档页面. 请修复. ）Please admins solve Template's subpages (it may be global).--SolidBlock (talk) 03:58, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Please don't delete lexique.miraheze.org
Hi,

A notice appeared on lexique.miraheze.org saying it hadn't been edited in too long. I've made a few changes like the notice said I should, but now when I add a category to new pages they aren't showing up in the main list for the category. Not sure if that's related.
 * That is considered as an edit, yes. As the notice says, you can remove it by going to MediaWiki:Sitenotice. If you need your wiki to be exempt from the Dormancy policy for whatever reason please see Dormancy Policy. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * @Reception123 I was able to delete the notice, but all my pages say Template:Delete at the top. How do I get rid of that? 25 July 2017
 * @Reception123 Nevermind - I figured it out like 2 minutes after I asked the question. Sorry for the trouble... 25 July 2017.

Dormancy policy exemption for proxybotwiki
Im requesting this due to the fact this is a documentation wiki for a bot that is (at the moment) exclusively ran for Miraheze to enforce no open proxies policy therefore if the wiki is deleted documentation may be lost.

Unable to log in
Hi, I'm unable to login to miraheze.org. I've tried connecting to softwarecrisis.miraheze.org and bootstrapping.miraheze.org. I was able to create an account on the former subdomain, and at the time I received a similar error but found I was logged in anyway. Since then I'm unable to log on, with errors like "[6b3d1cb13719e11e93c3d520] 2017-08-22 22:32:27: Fatal exception of type "Exception".

Received an error in wiki request
Hi, I'm new here and wanted to create a wiki.

In my request I used "von_muenchow.miraheze.org" as URL and "Wiki von Münchow" as Wiki name. The form complained about only alpha-numeric characters being allowed in the database name. Now I don't know whether I should remove the underscore from the domain or the german special character ü from the name.

Additionally, I can't correct my request and submit a second time, the system states "You have already requested a wiki." But I thought my request has been cancelled/not submitted due to the aforementioned character problem. I'm puzzled.

Could you please have a look at that? Thanks!
 * Unfortunately, for now why don't support hyphens (-) or underscores (_) for URLs. That is an anti-spam measure, you can re-request in an hour, or if you want you can tell me which URL you would like (with no underscore) and I can create it now.

Hello !

I have requested the creation of a new Wiki. But I can't see anywhere (especially here https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges) its request or creation status.

I clicked "submit" on the request a wiki page after filling out the relevant zones, and then got an error telling me I had used invalid characters.

I think the banner that is displayed for people viewing pages on Miraheze is inappropriate for people without accounts. A simpler hyperlink that takes up less space would be more appropriate.

Global lock for Joaquinito01 and Joaquinito2017

 * User: Joaquinito01 (CA) and Joaquinito2017 (CA)

Hi, i request this global lock because these users have abuse of rights with the same pattern ( Joaquinito01: Logs | DeletedContributions, Joaquinito2017: Logs | DeletedContributions) on PublicTestWiki and is globally lock on Wikimedia wikis for abuse of sockpuppet (view enwiki)

If necessary, make a CheckUser but normaly the evidence is here :)

 * I've locked Joaquinto2017 as it exists purely to evade blocks. I've left Joaquinto01 unlocked because, for now, they have only disrupted on testwiki. If that changes, let me know. -- Void  Whispers 17:37, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

biu.miraheze.org is not dormant
Our wiki at biu.miraheze.org is not dormant.

It is primarily read-only although I do update it occasionally.

 * Please feel free to reopen it using Special:ManageWiki (and unchecking the closed box) on your wiki. If you need the wiki more for reading purposes you can request an exemption to the policy. Please tell me if you need one. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 18:19, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Request for CVT
'''I have stalled my request to join the CVT as the Code of Conduct Commission is established. Feel free to still leave messages if you feel the need to do so.'''

Hello my name is CnocBride. I understand many members don't really know me except for my work with wiki creation and feature requests. I have been here for 18 months with one period of inactivity (June 2017 until October 2017 due to end of year exams and a different school environment). I have always wanted to be as helpful as I can to the community and I do so through my work as a wiki creator and processing feature requests. I contribute to around 3 wikis regularly, one of them being The Multilingual Enyclopedia, one of the largest projects on Miraheze.

As you may have read by the title I am coming here today to request to become a member of the CVT. The CVT has been something I have wanted to always join. One of my goals on Miraheze is to become a steward but I have said I will not apply for that until I have a deep understanding of the community and fighting vandalism and various other activities a steward needs to know. The CVT is seen by me as a great way to help the community more and is a stepping stone on the ladder of Miraheze. I understand that feature requests and wiki creation is not a role of the CVT and you would deem me inexperienced with countering vandalism and I do admit I am not perfect but I can learn. I understand the basics from my time at Wikipedia and over here. If I could learn to use Github and Phabricator (learn how to use its basics) within a few days I can surely learn about Counter Vandalism. Also it is from my research that there are only 2 members of Miraheze that are on the CVT. I believe as Miraheze grows vandalism will become a far more widespread problem and I also think that I can help out a lot in the fight against vandalism both in the present and the future.

I understand many of you do not know me and I shouldn't be trusted but that is really because I am a sort of quiet person on Miraheze. I work on helping the community and I constantly want to help Miraheze to expand. I really do want to help the community out and I hope that if I can get on the CVT I will be able to help this community far more. CnocBride 22:49, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Questions

 * 1) Which methods will you use to monitor vandalism/spam globally? Reception123  (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 06:04, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Well one of the methods I would use is CheckUser. CheckUser would is a great tool for monitoring accounts who make suspicious edits. Another tool I would use is the AbuseLog. This is another good tool for monitoring vandalism and spam. Finally, I would just use any reports or complaints that come to me from wiki bureaucrats and administrators. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  09:37, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * As a comment, CVT members don't have access to the CheckUser tool. —<font color="#1406D0">Alvaro Molina (<font color="#137500">✉  - <font color="#137500">✔ ) 13:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)


 * 1) What expiry would you choose when blocking an IP address who spammed pages on a few wikis? Reception123  (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 06:04, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Well from what I have seen on the block log and from my personal views I believe spamming cross-wiki on a first offense would call for a 6-12 month block of your account. On the other hand, long term abuse, in some cases, would warrant an indefinite block of your IP. In my opinion, if someone vandalised one wiki I would only limit their block to about 3-6 months on that own wiki. Any further offences, I believe, would either be a global block or indefinitely blocked from that wiki. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  09:37, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I’m sorry but I feel like we have enough Stewards/Cvt members. MacFan4000 (talk) 01:51, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes I do agree with your point we have enough stewards but we currently only have 2 CVT members who have to patrol over 2,500 wikis to ensure that vandalism does not occur. Yes I do understand that if you put the stewards and CVT members together there is 5 members who have the powers to stop vandalism. However, the stewards have huge responsibility with other things apart from just fighting vandalism. The CVT was made so that it can fight vandalism itself and assist the stewards in relieving some of their workload but thank you for your comment :). CnocBride 09:06, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Abstain (leave a comment)

 * It would be helpful if OP's thesis were more along the lines of "Here's why we need this job done" rather than "Here's what my advancement through the ranks calls for."  01:59 29-Oct-2017

Dormancy policy exemption for lexique.miraheze.org
I'd like to request an exception to the dormancy policy for Lexique.miraheze.org. The wiki is a bilingual dictionary and repository of children's songs. As such, it is made to be read and doesn't require active editing.
