Stewards' noticeboard

I want back in SephSpace
A month ago, I was banned from SephSpace because one of Inkster's sock accounts manipulated one of the admins into thinking I did some bad things that cost me my access to the wiki. However, I gave a full explanation on what I really did on the Reception Wikis, thus debunking Inkster's lies about me. Plus, that sock account of Inkster is banned now, so do you think you can convince the admins of SephSpace to let me back at that wiki? SuperStreetKombat (talk) 19:00, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, you should contact a local bureaucrats to unblock your account, but this may need steward intervention. —Bu kk it 19:02, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * As Bukkit pointed out, the local bureaucrats handle that, not the Stewards. Stewards cannot intercede for you with the bureaucrats on that wiki. With that being said, you'll have to build up a case on your own devices to convince the bureaucrats that those were lies spread about you, Stewards can't help with that. So sorry for the inconvenience. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:14, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I was also falsely banned too, mainly due to EijiZeBoi's bullshit. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:51, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Your best bet is to get in contact with the local administrators through a Meta talk page, I think. Unless you have their Discord/alternative contacts you know are easier. If you can't find them on any, perhaps a Steward (or, and preferably, an existing member) can drop a subtle pointer to see your case on Meta. --Raidarr (talk) 21:27, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

 * There appears to be a list of admins on the public main page of that wiki. You contact one of those users on meta to request an unblock. — Arcversin (talk) 01:51, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Can you please lock my account?
I'd rather not use it anymore. It's been dead for a few months now. Goodbye to Miraheze! Trashanimal (talk) 01:44, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * We're sad to see you go! Regardless, to help accelerate the process, please specify if you want your account locked only (which disables it but can be recovered later on if you wish so by Stewards) or locked and vanished (which disables it and cannot be recovered later on). Thanks! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:48, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Locked and vanished please. Trashanimal (talk) 03:54, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Trashanimal Can you please clarify whether you want your personal information removed from your account, thus rendering your account unrecoverable, or if you just want your account to be renamed in an anonymized fashion and globally locked (technically still recoverable if you know your password or have a confirmed e-mail address)? Dmehus (talk) 20:17, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Trashanimal Is there still interest in this request? If so, your clarification is required. Dmehus (talk) 23:35, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * That action is handled by Trust and Safety, I will make sure to forward this to them. Please allow a few days before any action is taken. Thank you. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 04:12, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello stewards,

Can someone please lock the about 20 spambots ive blocked on meta over the last day and see if you can find any underlying IPs to block?

 * Yes please.
 * And please, post the IP ranges publicly. I am considering making my own DNSBL and include this spam network in it. this issue has been affecting so many MediaWiki operators which include Wikimedia and Wikifur lately, not just Miraheze. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 15:36, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I don’t think that’s really possible, as IP addresses are PII. —［ <span style="font-weight:800; padding:0.25em 0.5em;border-radius:.35em;background-color:#d2527f;background:background-image: linear-gradient(45deg,#CF121F,#F83A0C,#F83A0C,#FF6347,#FFD228); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(45deg,#CF121F,#F83A0C,#F83A0C,#FF6347,#FFD228); background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(45deg,#CF121F,#F83A0C,#F83A0C,#FF6347,#FFD228); background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg,#CF121F,#F83A0C,#F83A0C,#FF6347,#FFD228); background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(45deg,#CF121F,#F83A0C,#F83A0C,#FF6347,#FFD228); background-image: -khtml-linear-gradient(45deg,#CF121F,#F83A0C,#F83A0C,#FF6347,#FFD228););color:rgba(255,255,255,1);text-shadow:0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)">Bukkit  ］［ Talk  |  Contributions  |  Barnstars  15:42, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know what "PII" mean, but the spammers use proxies like colocation and web hosting solution, so since this website already blocks the tor network and often cracks down on VPN abuse, then I don't see why that issue should be made less apparent. As a matter of fact, if you use a website called domain tools you can find their ranges and then range block them, so they cannot come back via another IP address. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 15:49, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Additionally, the reason why I asked for their IP addresses was to blacklist them since they are not broadband addresses, they are proxies. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 15:53, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * That is still sensitive information, and that would be an invasion of their privacy, so to speak. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:26, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * This a proxy IP address, this is not their real address. How is that an invasion of privacy? Do you think open proxies like VPNs and the tor network are sensitive information too?
 * I got plenty of these spambots and absolutely all of them were coming from web hosts like ServerMania, B2NETSOLUTIONS and EONIX just to name a few examples.
 * Hell, some whataboutism, but what about all the IP addresses you block. You folks invade their privacy each time you let them edit here or whenever you block them for vandalism. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 12:39, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Just recently I got a spambot who used the VPN service IPvanish to spam on the wiki and I am not afraid to share the IP address because it is a Virtual Private Newtwork. https://whois.domaintools.com/209.107.204.182 You may want to check the IP here for more detailed information: https://ipinfo.info/html/ip_checker.php
 * I swear if I ever get reverted or blocked for posting the IP address belonging to an open proxy that's used exclusively used for vandalism or spam. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 12:48, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , from what I can tell you, per No open proxies policy, proxy addresses are generally blocked by CVT members whenever they discover any. So, if the CheckIUser shows that the IP used by those spambots (listed by RhinosF1) are proxies, stewards can take care of it. There is no need to publically post those IP's. And yes, IP address is still the personal identifiable information, one should not be asking users or anyone about it and only stewards, in case of miraheze, should have access to knowing IP and if it appears to be a proxy, they can block it. So, users like me and you should not be landing into someone's work. Yes, in your wiki if you encounter a proxy IP, better is to post here and ask a CVT member for the Global block, other than blocking locally. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 15:35, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, Mazzaz is right. A steward will never publicly link a user with an IP address regardless of what the user does, that is private information and that would be against global policy. It being a proxy doesn't matter, the fact is a user will not be identified by their IP if they are logged in. If they choose to edit logged out that is their choice and they should be aware that their IP will be visible. And yes, we publicly ban IP addresses but that's not explicitly identifying which user edited from which IP. I don't think it's necessary to continue pursuing this discussion, the point is: Stewards do CUs and globally block IPs as necessary but they will not tell you which IP belonged to which user.

I was tricked by a user on the RequestWikiQueue:
A user in question made this request for a wiki on Nasty Food and Drinks Wiki, but when I approved it (unknowingly), it turned out to be a revival of the Atrocious YouTubers Wiki. Just look at the main page. Furthermore, I was under the impression that it was going to talk about nasty food and drinks, but was ultimately deceived by the wiki requester. Any comment on that?

 * DarkMatterMan4500 Please be careful in approving wikis too quickly, particularly where the subdomain,  does not match the sitename and/or description. That being said, this requesting user was quite duplicitous in requesting this wiki with the deliberate attempt to deceive a wiki creator into creating the wiki. Though no content was restored, the fact that this was so flagrant and blatant as stated on the wiki's Main Page and since the user, perhaps in response to this report or to your local user talk page advisory on the wiki, closed the wiki, I'm willing to assume good faith the user realized the error in their ways. Nevertheless, there's no need to keep this, so this has been ✅. Dmehus (talk) 23:54, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

I accidentally made 2 extra accounts while creating my account
I accidentally made 2 extra accounts while creating this account, as I wasn't redirected while making the first 2, which was something I thought was going to happen. I thought maybe the usernames were already taken and that's why I hadn't been redirected. The 2 accounts are (Jakess) and (Jakesmithispiff) Jakes (talk) 16:05, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , it's ok! You can use one of them for testing administrative tools on Public Test Wiki. And leave the other one as it is. :) ~ Mazzaz (talk) 10:01, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Jakes As you created Jakess and Jakesmithispiff while logged out, without you posting a reply here from each of those two accounts stating they're your legitimate alternate accounts and whether you prefer they be merged into your main account or globally locked, there's not much we can do here. If, however, you login and post said confirmation edits from each and state your intention clearly, then there a couple options here. As to your latter point, that's perhaps something we should see if an interface message exists to redirect the user away from Special:CreateAccount after creating an account, then we could deploy that interface message globally.

Possible checkuser request for possible sockpuppets:

 * Jonesgotswag
 * Foodisgood

I'm concerned that these 2 might be the same person, as Jones321 was locked as a vandalism-only account. I do know that they have a habit of blanking multiple pages on multiple wikis, and another thing that I've noticed is that both Foodisgood and Jonesgotswag were created a couple of minutes from each other before Jones321 was created. This makes me want to ask this question: If they were being constructive at first, then why resort to vandalism later on? I'm not sure if this needs an investigation, but please do look into them if necessary. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:40, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Hello there!
 * Importing your wiki from fandom to Miraheze is so easy, All you need to do is Exporting the DataDump of the Fandom wiki (you probably know how to do that), then Import it to your Miraheze wiki using the Special:Import on the MH wiki in question.
 * If the data dump seems too large or you cannot import it yourself, then a Steward can help you import it to your Miraheze wiki, or you could also file a Phabricator task, requesting the import (only when you have the DataDump of the fandom wiki already).
 * Hope this helps. Ugochimobi (talk) 13:57, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Fffv7787 (talk) 14:03, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Please specify the Fandom wiki and the Miraheze wiki... Ugochimobi (talk) 14:19, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , I am not sure what the actual problem is. But it should work well when you go to Special:Export on your fandom wiki and download the pages you want to import and upload them at the Special:Import on your wiki. And all this should work well. If you still face any issue, then consider opening a phabricator task! ~ Mazzaz (talk)  14:46, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

A gun to the head, for the right reasons. To put an end to the spread of ignorance. And guess what? Every time I try to explain to them, THEY WON'T FUCKING LISTEN.

To that end and in response to one of the QP admin's requests for feedback, I produced a blog which I think effectively summarizes the core issues with how the wikis are run. They are severe to the extent an eye from above may be needed. Consensus is incredibly difficult to achieve or even begin seeking and requires a bit of flame-stirring to even get an issue to attention. --Raidarr (talk) 19:55, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

So... what is your plan for the Lion King sequels' articles and my original pointers? And what do you think of, well... "The reception doesn't dictate whether the movie or whatever is actually good/bad on its own"? [Sigh of tiredness after months of drama and stress.] All I ever wanted... was for people to understand that the films weren't really perfect. That they should consider my viewpoints and criticisms in mind and acknowledge them, not ignore them, not discard them, and certainly not throw them away like garbage.

FreezingTNT (talk) 20:09, 24 July 2021 (UTC)


 * This seems like something a hearty 'alternative opinion' (ie, the bad qualities) section could take in mind, even if the policy defers to a general reception (the reasonable apparent sum of audience opinions). But how this works and how the exceptions work is something that should be reasonably discussed locally. That's the angle that would merit Steward action. The actual judgement and resolution, not really their business. The tools of civil discussion just need to be there. --Raidarr (talk) 20:16, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * There's a few things I would like to note, in response. The "[positive/negative term] [genre or medium or entertainment] Wiki" implies it's less about the reception and more about whether it, by itself, is actually good or bad. Detractors/haters would show up on our wikis and explain why [insert good/bad quality] is wrong or misinterprets the movie/whatever... and the mods wouldn't remove that from the WIR/WIS/GQ/BQ section since, as you said, it's apparently about the general audience opinion/consensus, regardless of whether the good/bad quality is either valid or misinterprets the movie (like, for example, if Last Jedi defenders show up on the Awful Movies Wiki and explain why the article for The Last Jedi is wrong or misinterprets the movie and the mods in this specific scenario would refuse to take it down because "it's what the public believes"). As I mentioned, I'm just trying to cleanse away some ignorance — at one point, because of their policy, I considered that, if I get a YouTube channel and it becomes very popular and then I make reviews of the respective Lion King sequels and if they become popular enough or whatever, it would become the general reception and my intended goal would be achieved.
 * The film/game/show/episode/whatever, by itself, is usually the source for reviews, so positives or negatives usually based on what actually happens in the work itself can't be reception-based. My problems are indeed opinions, but they are well-reasoned and so is other criticisms or praises of media — they're all backed up by what actually happens in the movie/whatever itself. Art is subjective — whether a movie/whatever is good or bad is up to your own personal feelings, but stuff such as plot holes and contrivances... ugh, just read this Reddit post to see what I'm trying to say here. (A character being unlikable or annoying isn't necessarily objective fact, but there's always reasons that make it more likely people will find it annoying or unlikable — like the Holocaust, it objectively happened but the fact Hitler's actions took the lives of innocent people and traumatized those who personally knew those Jews made it more likely people would hate the Holocaust, if you know what I mean.)

There is a problem with MarioMario456 on Qualitipedia. He has continuously blocked me, and rages at me whenever I do something. He also constantly acts like he owns Qualitipedia and refuses to assume good faith. Whereas DuchessTheSponge has improved and has stopped attacking me for the most part, the trouble continues with MarioMario456. Here is what he has done: Honestly, I can tolerate Duchess. While he has accused me of things, at least he is a very active admin and is easier to contact. Also, Duchess has replied on several of these threads saying that he would unblock me and seems more forgiving. Even though Duchess blocked me cross-wiki, he said "Sorry Blubabluba9990 but this is for the best", implying that he is somewhat sympathetic. MarioMario456, on the other hand, definitely deserves a cross-wiki desysopping. Mario hasn't even been here that long, he has only been on Miraheze since September of last year and I am not sure when he became an admin. Duchess, on the other hand, has been here since March or April. I genuinely want to help Qualitipedia. And I have made several helpful edits to many of the Qualitipedia wikis. But I cannot contribute when I am in fear of being blocked. So I request a global desysopping of MarioMario456, or at least a warning. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Recently he blocked me for talking about a user on FANDOM who had harassed me. He warned me for falsely accusing a user and demanded I find proof while I did not want to bring up my old FANDOM drama. I even deleted the comment, but he blocked me anyway, even when I asked him not to block me. Proof: mh:crappygames:User talk:MarioMario456. He has never even been to Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, so how would he know. At least Duchess has actually been to Encyclopedia SpongeBobia and contributed there.
 * 2) He has raged at me multiple times for trying to explain myself and gotten mad even when I just wanted to peacefully talk. Such can be found in several discussions here on Meta, including on his talk page: User talk:MarioMario456
 * 3) When I asked him to do some things, he raged at me and told me to stop bothering him. Such proof can also be found on my talk page on Crappy Games Wiki.
 * 4) He created an attack blog against me which is full of false information. He also restored the blog without permission from other admins, including DuchessTheSponge, who co-created the blog. Which brings me to my next point.
 * 5) He constantly acts like he is in charge of Qualitipedia. He always talks about trying to restore Qualitipedia's reputation, but he really hasn't helped out much. Also, Duchess is the one calling most of the shots.
 * 6) He got butthurt when people tried to say that if something has positive reception that does not mean it is good and vice versa. It can be found in one of his blogs on Crappy Games Wiki, I don't remember the name.
 * 7) He seems physically incapable of assuming good faith. He has blocked me several times for minor things which I have discussed in the past. He doesn't even consult the other admins.
 * 8) The last time MarioMario456 blocked me, DarkMatterMan unblocked me, and in the unblock summary he commented "this is pretty petty".
 * 9) While Duchess sometimes changes his mind, and has unblocked me and is somewhat forgiving, MarioMario456 seems incapable of forgiveness. He is constantly like "This is your last chance".
 * 10) He also says I am only on the wikis to cause drama when that is not true at all. I have made several useful edits on many of the Qualitipedia wikis, mostly the shows wikis, movies wikis, and characters wikis. Just check my contributions on those wikis.
 * 11) He has also deleted my userpages on many Qualitipedia wikis for no reason at all.

 * Yeah. Honestly I can tolerate the other admins. MarioMario456 hasn't even been on Qualitipedia that long yet he constantly acts like he owns the place.

Recent spambots detected on our Qualitipedia wikis:


Please check our recent abuse logs on our wikis. Look for the ones that have the spambot whipper abuse log as it's really been sufficient ever since I activated it. Feel free to also nuke more from here as well. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:59, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Excuse me if I am confused but I have a question. Why is it necessary for these accounts to be locked? Unless I am wrong (I only looked at 3 of them) they have not been able to edit once as they have been prohibited by the Abuse Filter so why do they need to be locked? --DeeM28 (talk) 08:55, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Simple: Because they have been triggering the abuse logs more than 3 times, and there's a reason why they need to be locked, and that reason is exactly why. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:48, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Even if the abuse filter catches them, they are outed as accounts explicitly made for spam. They would be blocked to a) clean up logs and perhaps reduce server access by their logged-in spams, and b) ensure they cannot 'wisen up' and use a method that counters the filter. Better eliminated without quarter than allowed to be smart. --Raidarr (talk) 13:21, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In theory your arguments make sense, spambots need to be locked so they can not continue to spam. In practice however I do not think this argument works based on the evidence. I have looked at the Abuse Logs for a few of these spambots and I have not seen a single one that has attempted to spam after the initial attempt. To me it looks like the spambots try to spam once and afterwards they stop. I understand that locking may be useful as a precautionary measure but my personal opinion is that with Stewards not being very active lately it would be more useful for them to focus on other tasks (for example there are a few Dormancy Policy requests that are unhandled) rather than to focus on proactive measures for something that is very unlikely to happen based on the current abuse patters of the spambots that I have observed. --DeeM28 (talk) 10:16, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * My argument is not a matter of them spamming after the initial attempt. It is the basic principle that an account created exclusively for spam has no need to remain available. This is humoring based on a will to help you understand what is already a standard procedure executed (in good time) by global staff and has been for quite some time. Naturally it is not the highest priority, but neither is it in any way particularly difficult to do when they have a spare moment or would like distraction. It takes considerably more review and thought to consider one's Adoption request than to snipe a routine list. All said, you make a good case why we should have more Stewards or Global Sysops in general, even if I do not feel I am yet appropriate for the task personally. --Raidarr (talk) 12:38, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I understand your points but I still think that if Stewards had to lock every single spambot then they would not have time for anything else so then why lock these random ones? Anyway this matter is not worthy of an argument of any sort so if Stewards or Global Sysops think it is necessary to do this I am fine with that. --DeeM28 (talk) 17:52, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ideally this is where we get more Global Sysops in. It's best practice to perform the task, but obviously the current resources are a little strained. --Raidarr (talk) 20:36, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

 * To add to what has said, this user seems to have a habit of blanking articles, not to mention their first edit was on their user page, which is kinda suspicious, similar to a locked user with a trolling message that has since been deleted by Reception123, making nonsense pages, strangely similar to not only this log right here, but also this type of nonsense. Oddly enough, these strange edits seem pretty odd to me. One thing that caught my eye was this strange blanking of the page. I think this should be investigated too.

Maybe I'm late for request merge account as other user after Nonciclopedia move from wikia to Miraheze. 8 years ago, I was using User:Bhenry1990 at old Nonciclopedia and other Uncyclopedias hosted by Wikia. Then I quitted for several years. Now I return to Uncyclopedias. I cannot login as Bhenry1990 here, nor create account as Bhenry1990 at Miraheze. I guess my old account was created here when Nonciclopedia moved, but community says someone has used it here on Miraheze.

Can you deal with YukariWayne?
YukariWayne has been pestering me with private messages full of false accusations of the so-called "wrongdoings" of DuchesstheSponge and MarioMario456 on Awesome Games Wiki, and the admins there (except for Allistayrian, sort of) can't do a thing to stop him, so I was wondering since not only is he blocked on AGW, BTSW, and (possibly) RWW for 6 months, but was also giving me shit with his accusations, can you do something about this, like, maybe, global him or something? SuperStreetKombat (talk) 21:58, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Private messages do not exist on MH unless you are talking about private wikis. As for messages on your user profile, you can tell him to stop and if he does not he can be subject to local moderation action. There is no cause for a global block and the crime of irritating the Qualitipedia administrators is not grounds for a global block unless it is an account with a clear intent exclusively for vandalism or the like. In short, just about nothing for the Stewards to deal with. --Raidarr (talk) 22:26, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * There is no reason for him to be globalled unless he uses sockpuppets or is a sockpuppet of someone else. I've cross-wiki blocked him indefinitely due to his hate blogs on me on BS&EW, his heavy disrespecting of the dead and heavily annoying you with my "wrongdoings". —<span style="color:red;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#f00,#c04);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Mario <span style="color:purple;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#808,#40c);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Mario <span style="color:purple;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#20d,#00f);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">456 12:20, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I am requesting a CheckUser on these 2 accounts for the following reasons: I've noticed they've uploaded the exact same NSFW pictures on 2 wikis, with CaillouRocks doing it on the Garbage Roblox Games Wiki, and DiaperFan doing it on the Perfection Roblox Games Wiki. I also noticed that one of the files on 2 wikis that were uploaded by 2 users are exactly the same as the one that CaillouRocks has uploaded on the Garbage Roblox Games Wiki.

 * Entre los comentarios que acabo de leer no aparecen los temas que he planteado. De los que leí allí, estoy de acuerdo con el lento almacenamiento en caché de las actualizaciones.
 * Mi propuesta es mejorar el posicionamiento SEO. Similares páginas wiki de otras granjas están mejor posicionadas que las de Miraheze en los motores de búsqueda. En mi experiencia, las páginas se indexan más rápidamente a los motores de búsqueda introduciendo las URL en Google Console, por ejemplo. Es una labor bastante tediosa porque hay que hacerlo manualmente porque las wikis no tienen sitemap para que el motor indexe las páginas desde allí.
 * Y esa es mi solicitud: añadir la extensión sitemap: mw:Extension:AutoSitemap en ManageWiki para tener la oportunidad de que los motores de búsqueda rastreen las páginas directamente desde cada sitemap, en vez de hacerlo manualmente página por página. ¿Se podrá hacer?

 * Thank you very much Agent Isai for the kind response and the link to the survey results.
 * I answered the survey through mh:wikifrases:special:MirahezeSurvey. Will I be included in the final results of the survey?
 * Among the comments I have just read, the issues I have raised do not appear. From the ones I read there, I agree with the slow caching of updates.
 * My proposal is to improve SEO positioning. Similar wiki pages from other farms rank higher than Miraheze's in search engines. In my experience, pages are indexed faster by search engines by entering the URLs in the Google Console, for example. It is quite a tedious task because you have to do it manually because wikis do not have a sitemap for the engine to index the pages from there.
 * And that's my request: add the extension sitemap: mw:Extension:AutoSitemap in ManageWiki to have the opportunity for search engines to crawl pages directly from each sitemap, instead of manually page by page. Can it be done? Thanks. Kind regards. Hugo Ar (talk) 04:13, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Gracias por el enlace, Agent Isai. Me refiero a un «sitemap» con todas las páginas URL del wiki para que el motor de búsqueda rastree desde allí todas las páginas.

 * Hola Agent Isai, he leido en tu página de usuario que conoces muy bien el idioma español. Intentaré explayarme un poco más sobre el asunto.
 * Sí, pude comprobar los enlaces que me pasaste. Uno es .txt y el otro es xml. Pero lo que encuentro allí no es el sitemap con todas las páginas del wiki, sino solo la página principal.
 * A los pocos días de la creación del wiki que administro activé´a través de ManageWiki la extensión WikiSEO. Luego, mediante la configuración auxiliar, agregué la clave de verificación para Google y Yandex (lamentablmente aún no logro conseguir una clave para Bing). En uno o dos días la página principal del wiki ya aparecía en esos motores de búsqueda. Aguardé varios días más para ver si las restantes páginas se iban añadiendo a los buscadores, pero no ocurría. Decidí, pues, ingresarlas una a una a trevés de Google Console y de Yandex Webmaster.
 * En muy poco tiempo las páginas comenzaron a aparecer. Como comprobación de que la aparición en los buscadores no es automática, sino que es a través del pedido de indexado página por página, dejé muchas páginas sin añadir, a fin de ver si el motor de búsqueda las añade por sí mismo (aunque sea más tardíamente). Hasta este momento (luego de tres meses) no hay caso: solo aparecen en el motor de búsqueda aquellas páginas de las que solicité la indexación.
 * Aquí puedes ver:
 * 100 resultados en Google (todos indexados por mí desde Google Console, excepto la página principal).
 * Para no lidiar con la indexación manual de cada página del wiki solicito que se tenga en cuenta incorporar la extensión mw:Extension: AutoSitemap. «La extensión AutoSitemap crea automáticamente un archivo "sitemap.xml" en cada evento de creación / edición / eliminación de página. El archivo de mapa del sitio ayuda a los motores de búsqueda a observar las páginas de su sitio. Esta extensión se basa en la extensión ManualSitemap.»
 * Miraheze podría aparecer mejor posicionada en los buscadores si se implementara esta extensión, ya que ahora, si comprobamos cualquier wiki, incluso este (que es el principal) no tiene todas sus páginas indexadas. Con esto no pretendo que cada vez que se cree una página aparezca de inmediato el resultado en cada motor de búsquesa, pero sí, aunque sea, al cabo de tres, cuatro o cinco días. Si las páginas no aparecen en los buscadores, nadie las podrá encontrar. De allí mi interés por este tema. Un cordial saludo. Hugo Ar (talk) 08:16, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

 * A few days after the creation of the wiki that I manage, I activated the WikiSEO extension through ManageWiki. Then, using the helper settings, I added the verification key for Google and Yandex (unfortunately I still can't get a key for Bing). Within a day or two, the main page of the wiki was already appearing on those search engines. I waited several more days to see if the remaining pages were added to the search engines, but it did not happen. So I decided to enter them one by one through Google Console and Yandex Webmaster.
 * In no time the pages began to appear. As a check that the appearance in the search engines is not automatic, but is through the page-by-page indexing order, I left many pages without adding, in order to see if the search engine adds them by itself (even if it is more belatedly). Until now (after three months) there is no case: only those pages from which I requested indexing appear in the search engine.
 * Here you can see:
 * 100 results in Google (all indexed by me from the Google Console, except the main page).
 * In order not to deal with the manual indexing of each wiki page, I request that you consider incorporating the extension mw:Extension: AutoSitemap. The AutoSitemap extension automatically creates a "sitemap.xml" file on each page create / edit / delete event. The sitemap file helps search engines look at the pages of your site. This extension is based on the ManualSitemap extension.
 * Miraheze could appear better positioned in the search engines if this extension were implemented, since now, if we check any wiki, even this one (which is the main one) does not have all its pages indexed. With this I do not pretend that every time a page is created the result will appear immediately in each search engine, but yes, even after three, four or five days. If the pages do not appear in the search engines, nobody will be able to find them. Hence my interest in this topic. Cordial greeting. Hugo Ar (talk) 08:16, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for recent vandals on Nonciclopedia:

 * Da Nonciclopedia, l'enciclopedia liberalizzata (ma solo in Olanda).
 * Roberta Guidi
 * Osso.Buco
 * Federica Chiarullo
 * ALIK 54 BETF

It's come to my attention that all 5 of these accounts were involved in some vandalism, and some examples like these are pretty suspicious, as these diffs are almost exactly the same edits compared to these following diffs from this guy in question. Could a Steward please have a look into this too? I know I'm sounding like a broken record at this point, but at the very least it should be looked into more. Thanks for reading.

CheckUser required on FAMEPedia
Hello stewards a sockpuppet investigation case on FAMEPedia requires the CheckUser to check a possible sockpuppetry. More details can be seen on the investigation page. Thanks!

 * ❌ as a CheckUser is not required here for what are obvious alternate accounts. Speaking as a local, I don't feel the original block was justified, and should be reviewed and discussed locally. Speaking as a Steward, this is thus procedurally out of place, so is ❌ for the reasons articulated herein. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 19:01, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request on suspicious users:

 * Mrs. Puff
 * Bling-Bling Boy (Yes, it's locked, but still requesting a CheckUser on them anyway)

To or anyone with the Steward rights, listen closely: I am requesting a CheckUser on both of these 2 accounts, mainly because I have noticed that Bling-Bling Boy was replacing content with nonsense like this one, and while the other one, "Mrs. Puff", blanked out this page and even going as far as to replace some sections of content with complete nonsense here. I have a feeling that these 2 accounts were created with the intention of targeting specific articles like the Johnny Test pages on both the Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki and the Best Shows & Episodes Wiki, and 2 SpongeBob movies on the Greatest Movies Wiki, with similar edit summaries, and the way they make their marks.

What is an "interwiki prefix"?
Hello. I want to import pages from this wiki to this wiki. my problem about importing is that if I submit an XML file without entering an interwiki prefix, I get a message saying:

"Import failed: * Loss of session data. You might have been logged out. Please verify that you're still logged in and try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in, and check that your browser allows cookies from this site. * No interwiki prefix was supplied"

Please help me. SPEEDYBEAVER ( talk ) 15:09, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * You want wikia:reverse-terrible-tv-shows putting in that box :) ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  15:10, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry to barge in here, but it just so happens that I have downloaded the necessary files to import to that wiki, so maybe I could help him. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:12, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I've managed to do this trick: "wikia:reverse-terrible-tv-shows", and it had no issues there. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Even then, I see another message saying "Import failed: Expected tag, got". SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 15:13, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Deletion request
I'm a bureaucrat on Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki. I would want Celebdumb to be deleted, it failed and must die, it turned into a celebrity-shaming page. The problem is that it requires bigdelete.

Reopen Ficreation
Hi, I'm a user among others on Ficreation who was not warned that it would be hastily closed with none of the pages loading, this was done by the user MBL because of some petty infighting among the admins, could you please have MBL undo what he has done, or do so yourselves, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 05:31, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, this does appear to be a local dispute; Stewards generally let these be resolved by the community. If I recall well, Ficreation had various bureaucrats, any of them can reopen the wiki at Special:ManageWiki/core. However, should bureaucrats not respond to community calls to reopen the wiki and if it is community consensus that the wiki be reopened, you all can hold an election where users of the wiki can vote and decide if the wiki should be reopened. If you gain a majority, Stewards will reopen ther wiki. Thank you. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:38, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
