impossible to log in for the game
Hello Since today impossible to log with my coint is it normal?? Kr (id : irmadb)

Status Change
Since I do not know the official creator of my wiki I therefore can't get in contact with them.

I would like my status changed from Administrator to Bureaucrat.

It is this wiki: Life Wiki.

Thank you!

Infobox
All the Infoboxs in my wiki is imported from Wikipedia, but it looks different in my wiki. In mobile view the light grey box is not visible which is visible in Wikipedia.

See this article of my wiki: https://en.gyaanipedia.co.in/wiki/Shaunak_Chakraborty

I want the infobox exact same as Wikipedia in mobile view also in my wiki. Please help me. Shaunak Chakraborty (talk)

Login troubles
After the hosting change, I have not been able to log into my wiki. I always get the following error: There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form.

The same error message appears when I try to register a new user. What can I do? If you could answer via email to, I would that a lot, since I am posting this as anonymous user, because I can't log in. ;) Thanks a lot! Kjell 22:21, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * (non-steward comment) This is a long-standing problem that nobody seems to have been able to solve... if I recall correctly, the problem dates back to the very beginnings of Miraheze itself. Usually, if you just resubmit the form (often times you will have to reenter your password), you will then be logged in. Make sure you do not refresh/reload the page after receiving that error message - just reenter your password if necessary and attempt to login again. On a separate and unrelated note, please don't post your email address publicly on-wiki. Amanda Catherine (talk) 22:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I just tried that, but it doesn't work. The same error message appears time and again and I am still not able to log in. Any help appreciated! 00:07, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The only solution we seem to have so far is to clear all Miraheze related cookies, then visit Special:UserLogout on the wiki, and then attempt to log in. -- Void  Whispers 00:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Resigning from steward position
There are many duties for me to fulfill within this project, and the work as a steward is 'just too much' to keep doing that properly and staying up-to-date. As such, I have decided I am - voluntarily - going to resign from my position as a steward. I am sure my fellow stewards will do an excellent job, even without me. Please remove my rights and groups I am associated with in this role.

TheChisatoFan and Portrock1566 banned me on Healthy Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki, and Incredible Wikis And Users Wiki, respectively. As you can see here, their reasons to block me made no sense.

 * He has also shown hostility towards our wikis on other websites like TheTopTens and DeviantArt. He once even called one of our users a "manchild" on his DeviantArt account. Therefore, we also blocked him on multiple other wikis to prevent possible conflicts. As well as his terrible behavior on the wikis themselves like the comment Reception123 has shown. And, if I'm correct, only one case like this is not enough to get globalled. Especially when the user in particular acts like this. Kesner (talk) 15:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not asking to be unbanned on TF&HW, but only the other three. And no, if you check out the link that you provided, I didn’t even say “manchild”. General I80 (talk) 17:14, 6 May 2020 (UTC) General I80
 * Don't lie. I know you wrote it as a reply to one of the comments and so should you. Also unless Reception123 or other stewards require that we unblock you, then you are staying blocked. Period. Don't even bother replying to me. I am done talking to you unless a steward comes to our wikis.Kesner (talk) 17:49, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Request for wiki 'elliot' to be exempt from inactivity rules
Hi -- I maintain a personal wiki here titled 'elliot' (https://elliot.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page). I use it as sort of a personal wiki where I share my ideas with others. I don't update it super actively though, so I find myself having to re-activate it sometimes. I'm worried that the inactivity rules will allow someone to take control of this wiki if I go 60 days without an edit in the future. Is it possible to make this wiki exempt from the inactivity rules?

Thanks, Elliot
 * I'm not sure whether this should be granted, however just to note under the current policy wikis that are private may not be adopted by users who did not have access to it prior to the closure. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

We have 0 contacts with him for some time already. We discussed the matter on our Discord server (can be found on the bottom of the main wiki page) with other Community Managers and Moderators about it and we would like to request to grant Administrator privilege and Bureaucrat if possible to the new CM that oversees the game User:Snakeintheeye and Administrator privilege if Snakeintheeye cannot receive a Bureaucrat to the main Moderators User:Groxy or User:Cc (all of them are also present in the Discord server if necessary)

Request to get perms back on oldfagdotorg wiki
I created and own the wiki oldfagdotorg, and recently intended to turn it private. I gave other people the bureacrat role, but left the admin role for myself. I didn't realize you couldnt remove other bureaucrats so I removed all their perms, and basically locked the wiki in on itself as now no one has the perms to manage it. Can someone fix this by readding perms to bureaucrat?

@Reception123 I would like all the perms to be reset to the default.

Requesting bureaucrat rights on Template Wiki
Back in Jan 2018 I asked for a Miraheze template repository. MacFan4000 set it up. Understandably I was only given administrator rights not bureaucrat. That has been manageable, whenever some bureaucrat operation has been needed I'd request MacFan4000 to implement it. Now MacFan4000 seems to be dormant and I'd like Pppery to be given administrator on the grounds that he has been doing some fine work on the wiki and it would be useful for him to have access to those extra functions, e.g. Special:ReplaceText. Better still please can we both be given bureaucrat rights as we're the only users actually looking after Template Wiki? --Rob Kam (talk) 09:26, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Problem with inactive admin user and wiki being closed.
I'm new to wiki editing so a friend created this wiki obscurantia.miraheze.org like a template with the documentation I gave him and then he gave me the administrative rights so I can edit the content and learn also from it. This wiki is about my works and projects, it's the documentation of it and I made new content recently. Now I have a message that says this wiki will be closed in 15 days and will become eligible for adoption for inactivity even if I do make changes. I would like to adopt this wiki if it's possible.
