Why has my wiki been closed?
I am constanly adding new content to my wiki. I got the message that my wiki has been closed because there were no changes for 60 days. Why is that? Lily (Lilypond Wiki) 18:09, 13 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, your wiki has been re-opened. You can always go to Special:ManageWiki if its ever closed even if there is activity. Apologies for the inconvenience. 18:14, 13 April 2020 (UTC) by User:Paladox（Talk） --そらたこ (talk) 18:17, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

(Sorry, I don't speak English very well) Também estou com o mesmo problema. Já desmarquei a caixa "closed", mas o banner de aviso não some. Pode me ajudar? Haizaki 18:32, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

DifferentHistory Wiki
I'm trying to edit the CSS there but it says that the wiki is closed even though I go on there and regularly edit there every day. Same for all the Reception Wikis but Terrible TV Shows, even though there are plenty of users who regularly edit on those wikis. Is that a bug or something? I know the "Closed" box isn't checked, but the "Closed" notice is still there, so it must be a bug. A really nasty one, too. Can it be fixed? Also, Sofaking we todd it‎ lost the ability to post comments or create pages on Terrible TV Shows Wiki.

 * Hello, your wiki has been reopen, apologies. Paladox (talk) 18:42, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Can you reopen the following wikis? They're Awful Movies Wiki, Greatest Movies Wiki, Best TV Shows Wiki, Terrible TV Shows Wiki, Atrocious Youtubers Wiki, and Loathsome Characters Wiki.

You Are Not Allowed to Post Comments should be changed into Please Login to Post a Comment on This Wiki
All wiki databases under this site branding has IP editing turned off. What about commenting? At the end of almost every page of said wikis there is a comment section with the following message before categories: You are not allowed to post comments.

As explained in the headline, it should be changed into Please Login to Post a Comment on This Wiki like Fandom which in turn is a host of wiki databases ranging from TV to games to film and fantasy literature.

Speaking of that website it should have the You Are Not Allowed to Post Comments but with While Logged Out added after. Sounds okay? It looks much better.

 * Your proposed wording is less intimidating. However...
 * Your assertion isn't universal on Miraheze. Admins on each wiki decide whether I.P. Anon will be allowed to edit.
 * Admins are also able to change the wording of the message you object to; it would be in a page in the  namespace.
 * The objectionable wording is probably the wording in a new MediaWiki installation. Miraheze is unlikely to change it on every new wiki by default.
 * "You are not allowed to post comments" might be given in situations other than not being logged in, so your proposed wording might be inaccurate sometimes.  23:54 13-Apr-2020
 * How about: "You are not allowed to post comments. You might need to log in." --Jack980517 (talk) 16:54, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

I can't log in
User:Nozder. I tried to log on my account, but I failed. I'm using Chrome. Sorry, I don't speak English well. Nozder 20:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Make sure you've deleted all cookies for the following domains:


 * meta.miraheze.org
 * login.miraheze.org
 * miraheze.org
 * and the wiki you are trying to log in on
 * These steps should not be necessary and a postmortem is taking place to prevent this situation occurring in the future. (credits to John) Southparkfan (talk) 21:21, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, it works. Thanks. Nozder (talk) 08:38, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

This is bullshit

 * 1) *I cannot even log in as Tony Li! I followed the steps, it does not even work! What's wrong with the site!
 * I am really sorry for the inconvenience. Please make sure to delete all cookies from every Miraheze wiki. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:54, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Miraheze has really dropped the ball.

Can't sign in
Nope. I know the instructions. But I don't know how to delete cookies on Miraheze like Meta and Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms individually.

Plus I use Samsung Internet. I might run the risk of deleting site data of other sites I've signed in (e.g. DeviantArt, FIMFiction, Wikia). Plus there are other accounts signed which I do not know my own password. Freddie123, user of Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms.
 * Depending on your browser, you may be able to filter by domain when looking at you cookies, and then clear those individually. You will have to look up how to do it on your device + browser. -- Void  Whispers 20:26, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
