Conditional unlock
Hi Andrew071117,

Per the discussion in the  channel on Discord, as I accept that you were not aware of user accounts policy, a global policy supported by the community, that is designed principally to ensure locally or globally imposed user restrictions are sanctions are enforced and appealed in the normal process, I have agreed to conditionally unlock your master account with your understanding that you appeal any local blocks as may be in effect on local wikis to which your global account has been attached and that you not vandalize either your own wiki or other wikis, logged in or logged out. To help enforce this condition, you are further subject to a one (1) global account limitation on Miraheze, meaning that you may only use this account unless you obtain prior written consent from Stewards to create an additional account or that this restriction has been removed. If your local wiki user talk page access has been removed and you want to appeal a local block, you may reach out to a local wiki administrator via their user talk page on Meta.

Thanks,

Conditional unlock
Hi Andrew071117,

Per your confirmation on Discord via direct message, I am conditionally unlocking you again, with the added condition, in addition to the previous two conditions. That is to say, you must not be abusive across wikis (i.e., respect for local wiki policies, no edit warring, no excessive promotion of your wikis, etc.).

Thank you,

How do I move my wiki off miraheze to localhost
hi I do not know how to move my wiki off localhost I want to know how do it I asked on discord they did not answer.--Andrew071117 (talk) 03:35, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Andrew071117 Bearing in mind that self hosting a wiki is a lot of work, you can export dumps of your wiki's XML and images using Special:DataDump (on your Miraheze wiki(s)). You will then need to run the  maintenance script on your self-hosted wiki. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 03:52, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Can I do it on Android Andrew071117 (talk) 15:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * If you mean self host a wiki only on mobile I guess it might be possible but it would be a difficult thing to do. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:49, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Echoing and adding to what Reception123 said, I would also add that it wouldn't be recommended run certain tasks on a mobile connection. Dmehus (talk) 15:50, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am on windows 10 Andrew071117 (talk) 16:30, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hm? That's in contradiction with your past statement asking if you can do it on Android, so I'm confused now. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 16:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * it hard for me to add extensions Andrew071117 (talk) 16:51, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

what is a condentional unlock
hi I need to know what is a conventional unlock I do not know — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew071117 (talk • contribs) 17:21, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The meaning of a conditional unlock has been explained to you above by, it means that if you do not respect these conditions you will be locked again. They are simple: you are not to vandalise any wikis and you are to only use one account on Miraheze. --Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 18:13, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

On my wikis i requested do i need to edit it to stop vandalism
hi do I need to edit the wiki to stop vandalism.--Andrew071117 (talk) 18:20, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * This is quite time-consuming to answer repeated questions on-wiki, since you are especially active on Discord and IRC. Please ask us this on Discord or IRC. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 18:22, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * but I am not allowed to use discord or irc right now Andrew071117 (talk) 18:23, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't believe that's the case? I have not seen any kicks, bans, or quiets on either platform? Dmehus (talk) 18:24, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * no i am at school and the teacher ban discord,irc and other social media and talking platforms at my school end in 4 pm et Andrew071117 (talk) 18:25, 26 May 2021 (UTC)--Andrew071117 (talk) 18:26, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, I wondered that actually. Arguably, wiki talk pages are considered "social media" and "talking platforms," broadly construed, so you are arguably technically in breach of your teacher's conditions. I would recommend staying off your phone for non-educational purposes during school hours. Dmehus (talk) 18:29, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * but how about i have to use reliable sources can I use wikis Andrew071117 (talk) 18:51, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That depends. If you're writing an essay about Miraheze, then yes, Meta Wiki can be a reliable source, though it's a primary source, too. In most cases, though, as wikis are edited by anyone, even English Wikipedia is not an acceptable reliable source of information. You should only use them as a bibliographic reference aid to find actual reliable sources (i.e., in the "references" section). Dmehus (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * But what happen if I get a consequence what do I learn Andrew071117 (talk) 20:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Just do it when you get home. Iron Sword 23 (talk) 21:06, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Okay. And are you going to sign this?--Iron Sword 23 (talk) 14:13, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive editing and Trolling
Hi Andrew071117,

Edits like this and this are exactly the kind of disruptive editing and trolling you've been told multiple times, across multiple platforms, by multiple people to refrain from doing. I'm again warning you to refrain from these activities, broadly construed. If you persist on this wiki, you will be indefinitely blocked on Meta Wiki. If you persist on Discord and/or IRC, platform moderators likely will either mute/quiet or ban you from the applicable platform(s) for a timeframe of an unspecified duration. If you continue this disruption or trolling across multiple wikis, your account will be globally locked.

I trust this will be completely clear for you.

Thank you,

 * but what about global block Andrew071117 (talk) 15:44, 27 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Global blocks are given to IP addresses, global locks registered users. --Anton (talk) 15:48, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * But on fandom it's both IP address and registered user for global block Andrew071117 (talk) 15:57, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That's just Fandom's terminology, but also, I don't believe Fandom uses the CentralAuth extension but rather use a shared database, whereby there is functionality for Fandom community moderators to effectively block users from editing globally. Dmehus (talk) 16:17, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * but why does miraheze still use 1.35 and not use 1.36 the latest stable release Andrew071117 (talk) 14:41, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Because it takes time to upgrade, and Miraheze doesn't use the incremental updates that the WMF uses. — Arcversin (talk) 15:39, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

I got locked multiple times on wikimedia wikis
hi I got locked on annoymous604 then locked again on anonymous 6042 and again on annoymous60422 on wikimedia wikis


 * Okay.--Iron Sword 23 (talk) 18:22, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Andrew071117 What was the first account that was locked on the Wikimedia wikis? Your subsequent accounts were likely locked as lock evasion. You should avoid creating any new accounts on the Wikimedia wikis until you've successfully appealed your first lock to Wikimedia stewards. I believe the link is here. Hope that helps.
