Template:Location map~ doesn't work on my wiki
Hello everyone. On my wiki, https://mypersonal.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page, the template "Location map~" doesn't seem to work. I copied it from a fandom wiki and there it works perfectly, but on my wiki, it displays "<.div style="position: absolute; z-index: 2; top: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".%; left: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".%; height: 0; width: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">" and shows the red dot with the city name next to it. I tried to look for those brackets that it doesn't recognize but found nothing. Thank you in advance, hope you can help me! <3 Btw sorry yesterday I mistakenly wrote this on the archive. :P
 * I'm not familiar with Fandom/Wikia (I preferred the Wikia name, personally), but it's quite likely they use a modified markup to render their pages. Have you tried removing the preceding period for the "div" tag that precedes the "style" attribute? That's the only think stands out to me from your quoted text. I haven't yet looked at your wiki, though. As for accidentally posted to the archive, thanks for letting us know. has already removed it. In future if you make an error like that, you can go back as soon as realize and hit "undo" on your edit(s). If you're the most recent editor, you can still undo both edits without rollback rights.

 * Also, please remember to sign your posts with ~ as a bot automatically archives threads according to the date of last activity. Without a timestamp, it's not necessarily able to do its job (although in this case, it would've, since I replied). Still, signing identifies who is posting. I've added your signature for you with unsigned. Dmehus (talk) 15:01, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

No longer able to add people to groups
Hi! I'm an admin at companybumpers.miraheze.org and after my last visit to the permissions settings, I don't know how, but the admin and bureaucrat groups are no longer able to add people to any other groups. The Group Assignments tab seemed like the logical place to fix this, but nothing worked. Would you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Hb1290 (talk) 10:07, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I guess it's because of a server-side issue. Try deleting your cookies on all miraheze domains. --Jack980517 (talk) 20:14, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Fixed! IDK why, but when I tried fixing it the first time, the Group Assignments table had totally different groups in it for some reason. When I went back in today, the normal groups were showing. That outage the other day was just after the problem happened, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Need help on category suppression
w:Wikipedia:Category Suppression says: "you need to surround the categorization code with, otherwise your template itself will be categorized."

However, I tried this on mh:silentblue:Template:maimai Difficulty, and the template itself is still added into the categories, and I don't want that. The categories are only meant to have the pages that the templates are transcluded on.

How can I achieve what I want? Thanks.

 * Yes, I see it. My initial guess is that something in this rat's nest is mismatched (curly braces or tags).  If the   is not in order when encountered, then the   would be ignored as well.   03:26 11-Jun-2020


 * Oh, for Pete's sake! Your Usage (with  ) contains a use of itself as an example!  So the template is one of "the pages that the templates are transcluded on"!  Mystery solved   03:31 11-Jun-2020  I recommend that you write code that inhibits output of the categories if the target is in the Template: namespace.   03:34 11-Jun-2020


 * Thank you very much. I somehow overlooked that the noinclude portion contains a transclusion lol... --Jack980517 (talk) 06:30, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I was going to suggest that, but wasn't quite sure if it was that simple. Glad you got it resolved, . Dmehus (talk) 03:36, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Code of Conduct Commission reform RfC
As was the case with the CVT reform earlier, it is time to reform the CoCC which in its current form presents many flaws and challenges. Here is my current draft, feel free to make suggestions and edits before it's published as an RfC! Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:13, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

I have a question about the results of the Zppix poll held in Requests for global rights
Granted, it doesn't meet the appointment requirements stipulated in the Global Sysop policy, but it seems to meet the requirements of Proposal 4.1.I would like to hear your opinion on which standard should be adopted.If you write it in the wrong place, we would appreciate it if you could move it to the right place.Thanks.--松 (talk) 01:00, 12 June 2020 (UTC)fix.--松 (talk) 01:02, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The reasoning behind my approach is;


 * 4.1 states “During this 5 day period they will remain in the group.”
 * There was no time limit enacted on requesting confirmation.
 * A CVT member who never requests a confirmation, retains rights the community have voted to abolish.
 * Therefore, in closing the RfC I said; “Anyone who fails to create one by this deadline will be deemed 'resigned'.” As a CVT member who does not opt to move from an abolished group to an established group, is effectively not requesting access to the new group. As such, abolishment of a group effectively ceases to have the previous group membership.
 * A 7-day period was given from close of RfC for a user to trigger a confirmation before the CVT group was going to be technically abolished.
 * Both CVT and Global Sysop policies have the revocation clause of “rights revoked for any reason, they must make a successful request that satisfies the criteria above in order to regain the rights.”
 * As such, a user who has their rights removed for not initiating a confirmation request in the 7 day period, of which was not objected to by anyone - including the user who acknowledged they needed to start the request within 7 days of the RfC - has had their rights removed. To which policy mandates they go through a full request to regain the rights.
 * Had circumstances which prevented the request from being filed reasonably within 7 days had been notified to a Steward, discretion may have been applied, or alternatively another user could have asked for confirmation of the rights without any issue.
 * The above is full reasoning behind my handling of this situation as backed up by written policy and common sense applied otherwise. John (talk) 01:21, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I see.I still thought Zppix was at CVT, but it seemed to be my misunderstanding.Thank you for teaching me.--松 (talk) 04:17, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
