Having trouble adding. Video to my sandbox
I am making a page on CGW. I’m trying to add a video. I put the video I’d and the video displays but I get a playback droid when I try to hit play. JonnyDavidson2005 (talk) 19:28, 28 August 2021 (UTC)


 * You should ask this to an admin on a wiki instead of a steward. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 20:56, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

MarioMario456 called me a Idiot while I was appealing on AGW
Proof: awesomegames.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Wfitosn7ip0fsw6v SpiderManDude (talk) 01:24, 29 August 2021 (UTC)


 * That's not cool. Sorry. I left a message on your talk page. Sperosdurell (talk) 02:12, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There was no evidence of MarioMario456 calling him an idiot. I wasn't originally going to comment on here, but I am just here to tell you that what he is saying isn't true whatsoever. I shall leave this discussion at the hands of other administrators. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:15, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ohh... I felt sorry. No evidence, okay apologies. Sperosdurell (talk) 02:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * no he said "I don't take bribes, I D I O T. I have fixed my message." SpiderManDude (talk) 02:29, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * image proof of the comment: ibb.co/B4kGQDY SpiderManDude (talk) 02:31, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , it is not good to ask admins to give them money to get unblocked. I wouldn't comment on what said but you were probably blocked because of sockpuppetry. If you are not a sockpuppet and you believe the block was made in error, then simply call on for a review of your block without talking about money. Giving/taking money is not the way we operate here. --Mazzaz (talk)  04:42, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * SpiderManDude While MarioMario456 has been cautioned in the past to adhere to both the letter and spirit of Code of Conduct, a global policy to which all Miraheze users are obliged to follow in terms of his approach to dealing with other users (namely, civility and assuming good faith), and he is indeed firmly cautioned again, I will remind you that you also are obliged to follow another global policy, user accounts policy. If you wish to engage on Miraheze, I would strongly suggest you e-mail stewards at, explain on what wiki(s) you intend to focus on (with a strong recommendation from me to avoid the type of wikis you've been gravitating toward and which has found you locked more times than I can count on my two hands and two feet), and whether you will focus on your own wiki. Continuing the same behaviour is neither constructive nor useful and wastes everyone's time. Accordingly, with that, your remaining accounts will be ✅ in due course. Dmehus (talk) 18:16, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm gone. Please lock my account forever.
Hello stewards!

I no longer want to be part of Miraheze. I have joined it since July 2020, but following the drama that went over time, I request for my account to be locked. Thanks!

Goodbye everyone! EoflaOE (talk) 16:33, 29 August 2021 (UTC)


 * So sorry to see you go. Also about the drama, that was mostly from people disagreeing with one thing or another. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:44, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to see you go as well. I've locked the account now. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

User blocked at ATT for attempted SQL injection
User:Gani has just been permanently blocked at All The Tropes for (unsuccessfully) attempting to add SQL that would collect personally-identifying information without notification, which if it had worked would have been a violation of GDPR. This was the first edit that this user submitted to All The Tropes, so it was caught in the Moderation queue before being committed.

We see from CentralAuth that this user is an admin at two other Miraheze wikis. Robkelk (talk) 12:36, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will look into it. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:48, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * I just had the contents of the query passed to me by T&S and it is simply VoteNY's schema. The chance of an SQLi working is extremely low but in no way did this at any point attempt to violate GDPR or put users privacy at risk. Data wouldn't have been populated without enabling VoteNY and it's known and documented that it collects this information which we store appropiately. RhinosF1 (Miraheze) (talk) 18:11, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I've relayed this to the bureaucrats at ATT, and we'll discuss what action to take next. --Robkelk (talk) 19:20, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The bureaucrats and a few others have discussed this, and we have decided to treat this as an apparent penetration test. The permanent block on this user stands. --Robkelk (talk) 13:10, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

A user called Greatestmoviesfan might be abusing multiple accounts.
A user on Awful Movies Wiki known as Greatestmoviesfan has another account called Greatestmoviesfan189 which has the same type of behavior and comments as his main account: https://awfulmovies.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=comments&user=Greatestmoviesfan189&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter= and because of this, I think Greatestmoviesfan created that account to evade his ban, which is obviously against Miraheze's rules, so I think he should blocked across all wikis. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 18:54, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Never mind. Greatestmoviesfan wasn't trying to ban evade, so he's innocent. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 19:16, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

I can’t read the loathesome and incredible characters, how can I read the character miraheze again, Stewards’ noticeboard?
2600:1700:1243:E220:591C:3AED:E5BF:FDE0 22:16, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Unless you are in the Member, Bureaucrat or Administrator roles, you can't. The community decided to close down those wikis themselves. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 22:44, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The community consensus was not properly gathered, so the topic is valid for Steward review in my estimation. --Raidarr (talk) 20:51, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Are you going to Reopen the Loathsome Characters and Incredible Characters wikis?
Are you going to reopen the Loathsome and Incredible Characters wikis? Andrewgtv05 (talk) 04:11, 31 August 2021 (UTC)


 * They are talking about that on the qualitipedia meta Gilimaster69 (talk) 15:45, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Can you please reopen the character wikis?
Please reopen the all the mirahaze wikis Qqqqqqqq (talk) 16:38, 1 September 2021 (UTC)


 * That type of title with a demanding tone isn't going to really help matters very much. Which wikis are you talking about? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:41, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Qqqqqqqq was talking about the character wikis (Incredible Characters Wiki and Loathsome Characters Wiki). Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 00:35, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah Please reopen it Andrewgtv05 (talk) 04:31, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Although I've seen requests like these many times, I'd like to see where this goes. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:39, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500, as far as I can tell, DuchessTheSponge closed down the character wikis almost a month ago, and at first, we agreed that closing the character wikis was a good idea. But then, we realized what we had done, and thus decided to talk about bringing back the character wikis. Then, many people started to agree with us. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 11:48, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I was there when it happened when it came to voting. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:32, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, you were. And now that many people are voting and asking for the character wikis to come back, it looks like the character wikis are going to be reopened by the stewards. But here's the thing I want to tell you: Once they reopen, they will no longer be associated with Qualitipedia. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 12:40, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Why will they not be associated with Qualitipedia? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:28, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The reason they will no longer be associated with Quailtipedia is because there will be no Qualitipedia admins, and instead, there will be a new team of admins running the wikis, which includes me, Shawn the Logo Boy. The wikis will still hold the same concept as the Qualitipedia Wikis, however. Oh, and nice to meet you, Blubabluba9990. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 19:41, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Can I be one of the admins too. I plan on creating another network of wikis, since I own Lousy Vehicles Wiki and co-own Lovable Vehicles Wiki, and I also have plans for reception wikis about stores, and Musicismylife has a bunch of other ideas for reception wikis. Both wikis do not have any Qualitipedia admins. I also own Absurd Shows & Episodes Wiki, a future part of The Weirdness Network, a network of wikis about weird media which has been temporarily put on hold due to my situation on Qualitipedia. I own two other wikis, The Wow House Wiki and The Fowl House Wiki, which discuss good episodes/characters and bad episodes/characters in The Loud House, respectively. Both of those wikis are independent, based on FANDOM versions (The Fowl House Wiki's FANDOM counterpart is closed), and do not follow the format of the Reception Wikis, instead being inspired by ScumBob Wiki and Anti-ScumBob Wiki. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:02, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, Blubabluba9990! You can be an admin of the character wikis (LCW and ICW), and I'm sure you can help us out with both wikis. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 20:39, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * But here's the catch: I will only unblock you on the character wikis, and if you screw up even once, I will revoke your admin rights. Got it, Bluba? Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 16:24, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes. Wait are you an admin now? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:08, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I am becoming an admin on both Loathsome Characters Wiki and Incredible Characters Wiki, and both you and I be part of the new team of the admins, so once they reopen, we need to cooperate with each other in order to keep both wikis running! Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 17:17, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Have you visited my other wikis yet. If you have knowledge about automobile reception I can promote you on the vehicle reception wikis. Musicismylife also has a few other ideas for future reception wikis not associated with Qualitipedia. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:27, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I haven't visited your other wikis yet, and I really don't have knowledge about automoblie reception. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 17:55, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. I do have other ideas about reception wikis. Perhaps my wikis can stay independent alongside the characters wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:00, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure. Your wikis can stay independent alongside the character wikis. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 18:41, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Also why specifically did you not want the characters wikis to be associated with Qualitipedia? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:03, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * These wikis were agreed to not remain part of QP so they could exist in some form, even if the dedicated QP administrators do not want to manage them. So, making them unassociated is the way they are able to survive. --Raidarr (talk) 10:45, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:07, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, shouldn't the stewards have noticed this by now. Kingjorbs (talk) 22:00, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The vote was improper, being called after less than a half dozen comments and before the (clearly numerous) oppositions or input were able to be made. So this is for sure in the cards, now that the Website wiki crisis is handled. --Raidarr (talk) Raidarr (talk) 16:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I hope we'll do the same for the Character Wikis crisis, which we need to handle. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 16:47, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:29, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm of two minds here. From my first mind, I'm not seeing where there was a discussion, ideally on-wiki though a public non-invitation only Discord server (or similar) discussion could be considered. Raidarr mentions that there was a vote or discussion somewhere, so if he could point me to that so I can assess its breadth, depth, and procedural validity, that'd be great. From my second mind, these two wikis in particular cause the most problems for Stewards in terms of Content Policy and user conduct issues. As a rebuttal to my second mind, there does seem to have been a clear surrendering of rights, so reopening these wikis would provide an opportunity to have a proper discussion in terms of providing guidance to the reconstituted wikis' local communities. Additionally, a subsequent discussion would need to be held prior to any rights being granted. In any case, until I know when, where, and under what circumstances local discussions (if any) were held, this can't be progressed. Dmehus (talk) 22:12, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Here is the discussion. Other discussions: . Mr. Jay 641 (talk) 22:31, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * In addition to above, there was a blog that was the spark for the character wiki's removal. It was unfortunately removed to leave no record, but I doubt that will stop the oversight of a Steward. Section "Can you please reopen 2 wikis?" below on the board offers as much case for recent discussion as there exists (mainly the same that I replied to). QP tends to operate through blog posts seeking inquiry, meaning there tend to be multiple blogs on a similar topic and a touch of confusion as far as aggregate opinion (especially since the discussions could not be held on the native wiki in question, instead in small part through CGW and through the QP meta linked above). --Raidarr (talk) 00:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Raidarr, for that, and, Mr. Jay 641, for the links you provided. What I'm particularly interested in is any discussion(s) as may exist on Qualitipedia Meta in terms of rationale for closure and breadth and depth of the discussion. Dmehus (talk) 01:04, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Aside from the assorted blogs (which is typically 'how things are done' with the strengths and weaknesses that come with it) there is not an organized discussion (talk page, StructuredDiscussions) to this effect, only the layered responses that lead to new blogs and culminating in a few users agreeing to lead and largely being given 'consent by default' from leading bureaucrats on QP. So the depth is about what is linked.
 * It was only closed by a few supports and the instinct decision of a bureaucrat after reviewing the (now deleted) original post, and incidental 'wait this isn't right' commentary has cropped up various times on CGW and QP meta ever since. The most substantive of these comments are linked by blog. There do exist assorted individual complaints that were raised in the meantime, by comments and I vaguely recall by very short lived SD posts. It's also worth noting that immediately after the closure, a number of regulars attempted to 'snowball' the issue with the effect of 'they were terrible anyways', likely in an effort to simply drop it and move on. Some of those users have since changed tune for the above linked blogs or otherwise let it go.
 * Perhaps to establish clarity for the future, issues of this gravity might be given a separate structure to vote and leave opinions (resembling how MH meta handles it or operating through the SD extension) if that would be more structurally compliant for what you're looking for. --Raidarr (talk) 08:22, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah. This now brings up the larger problem of the non-existent consensus on Qualitipedia, with the bureaucrats making all of the decisions, and even when consensus is brought up, it is done by one of the bureaucrats rather than a regular member of the community. That is a whole other problem, however, and goes deeper than the Characters Wikis crisis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:04, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If that's being done on the Qualitipedia wikis, we have all the policies and conventions we need here. It just needs to be addressed to Stewards, citing applicable evidence, and we can be asked to determine if there was consensus or revert to the status quo in absence of that. Dmehus (talk) 16:09, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. There is hardly ever consensus for anything though, and I am unsure if there was consensus to shut down the Characters wikis. Furthermore, the admins agreed that closing both wikis was a bad decision, and there is a lot of talk here on Steward's noticeboard about re-opening them. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:14, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This discussion and the ones mentioned cite various talk and qp meta discussion to reopen, and the rationale for closure is already noted as being faulty. --Raidarr (talk) 18:11, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:46, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Please can you unlock the wiki 'Radley Physics' rcpd.miraheze.org

Many thanks! Acn (talk) 09:58, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * If you're bureaucrat of the wiki, go to Special:ManageWiki/core and uncheck "Closed". This will reopen your wiki. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 13:34, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think I'm bureaucrat of the wiki (though if I can be made such that would be grand!) - I don't seem to be able to uncheck that 'Closed' box...! Acn (talk) 15:59, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are a member of the wiki and it was not manually closed by a wiki bureaucrat, you may add an entry at Requests for adoption. Otherwise unless there is additional context I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done on the Stewards' noticeboard. If the two stipulations don't apply (either of them), I'm afraid there is also not much we can do. --Raidarr (talk) 16:37, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Bring the loathsome character wiki back
I want to know why the LCW has permission error even I'm not log that website in. 119.172.110.92 10:24, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * This wiki was closed and made private by a local bureaucrat. The other bureaucrats have consented to letting a new core of admins take over, and they should make a request on this noticeboard soon. --Raidarr (talk) 16:42, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
