Database error
A new user wants to join in my wiki Tanukipedia.

But database query error occurs. It says "A database query error has occured. This may indicate a bug in software." Therefore, he can't create new account.

This error occurs in Not Only Tanukipedia but also Meta.

Error
Whenever I try to create a wiki, it gives me this:

Check user request on possibly identical users
Hi, I'd like to request for check user on the following users. They are possibly identical, according to the result provided by Japanese Uncyclopedia. However, I don't really trust their judgements, because they're notorious for having mistakes and excessive range blocks.
 * 大沼
 * 狂犬病の雅の調べ

Thus, in order to provide knowledge to make our own decision (for Usopedia) on this matter, I'd like to request for check user on these accounts. Thanks.-- 09:30, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

P. S. Please do not lock them, even if you agree with the result that they are identical. For now, this is an internal affair of Usopedia, and it is our community that should decide what to do on them (including the decision to request for locking).-- 09:30, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * under User accounts policy. I see no evidence of abuse and the request “not to lock” implies there isn’t any abuse either. John (talk) 10:12, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Having multiple accounts itself can be an abuse in our local community. I asked not to lock (for now) because it's a single wiki issue (and not a global issue), and the community should have a chance to understand the user's intention.-- 10:29, 24 November 2018 (UTC)modded.-- 10:31, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Link to the policy? Also the use of CheckUser is really for abuse, not for the potentialness of abuse. As a global community, multiple accounts are fine therefore a lock won’t realistically happen unless it turns into clear abuse and the sane standard would apply to a CheckUser for me. Unless a clear link and reasons for linking the two accounts exists. Currently while the first is potentially met, the second is definitely not. John (talk) 10:40, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * This is our blocking policy. SInce it is written in Japanese, I'd like to translate the necessary articles of our policy.
 * 18 - Sockpuppets - Indefinite block
 * 37 - Creating multiple accounts without legitimate reasons - Indefinite block on subaccounts and a warning on the main account (if this is the first time of abuse) -> indefinite block on all accounts (if this is the second time)
 * The CU result provided by Japanese Uncyclopedia (link provided on my first post) not only indicates that these two accounts are identical, but also the user is deceiving the community by claiming that these two accounts are those of friends (and not those of an identical person). If the report on Uncyclopedia is true, we have to deal with them per these two articles, but we need a clear double check of our own to make a judgement (deception to our community is a clear abuse, but as I repeat, we don't trust the judgement of Uncyclopedia).-- 11:03, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay. I'm reviewing the evidence and I am going to lock. The accounts link back to an LTA which I can confirm beyond reasonable doubt as being the same. Please review my locks and bring up any issues in an email to stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org or john@undefinedmiraheze.org. John (talk) 21:11, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * All accounts locked. Made a local block as the global account does not exist. User seems to have administrator flag on wiki. John (talk) 21:25, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your confirmation, but you have blocked the abuse filter (利用者:不正利用フィルター means User:Abuse FIlter in Japanese) on Usopedia. SInce it's our key defence system against LTAs, I'll turn it back on, unless you can provide a legitimate reason for it (as far as I know, the abuse filter is an extension based bot, and can never be an LTA).-- 08:32, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Public Viewing with Private Editing
Hello Steward. I want to move a wiki to miraheze. Its privacy settings should be "anyone can view, but only people of my organization get an account and can make edits". In my current self-hosted Mediawiki, these are the relevant lines of the LocalConfig: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; Can you please insert these lines for me, or tell me how I can otherwise achieve the desired result? Thank you for your time! --Constantin (talk) 19:06, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello, and welcome to Miraheze! You can change these settings yourself, in Special:ManageWikiPermissions on your wiki. If you are having trouble using it, I can also doing for you.

Maia Song Contest Mediation
<div class="boilerplate metadata discussion-archived" style="background-color: #F2F4FC; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #aaa">
 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * We received noticed that the users from the fork would reply within 48 hours, this was around 52 hours ago and with no communication and what is a clear view from the original wiki's community, inline with the Content Policy the forked wiki will be deleted. John (talk) 00:11, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Following a recent report made to staff about the fork of maiasongcontest.miraheze.org to maiasc.miraheze.org, a change was made to the Content Policy essentially disallowing the forking of wikis on Miraheze except in situations where the community has tried, but failed, to mediate the situation on their own. It is my knowledge that no such discussion has taken place, and that a full discussion (involving the entire Maia Song Contest community) has been avoided. As such, this thread has been created to allow for such discussion to take place. Users who are not a part of the Maia Song Contest wiki should refrain from participating in this discussion, but may comment on the policy change in a new section.

This discussion must resolve the following questions:
 * What alternative could resolve the issue the community has been facing without creating a fork? Should this be enacted?

This discussion is not aimed at resolving whether or not the fork should exist.

As a note, the comments of each participant will be treated with equal weight, and no retaliation should be taken against a user as a result of their proposal or comments. Any rude comments or proposals will be moderated and resolved by a Steward.

Following the creation of this thread, I will notify the bureaucrats of both involved wikis of this discussion. They are expected to make this discussion visible to the entire community. I would be willing to provide a mass notification to all users on both wikis if asked. -- Void  Whispers 20:12, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Discussion
A full dicussion has been tried but unfortunately failed due to power-grabbing on the behalf of the "maiasc" wiki. It's almost unanimous in the community that the true ownership belongs to the original wiki, and the duplicate should be deleted. -AuroraBorealis (talk) 20:44, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * In addition, the creators of this 'splinter wiki' were removed due to personal attacks on myself and generally harbouring toxicity in the community. Several other members have taken this view and I have invited them to testify this here. -AuroraBorealis (talk) 20:52, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Duplicate wiki should be deleted as it is not representative of the Maia Song Contest, nor the community it is trying to represent. After rejecting internal issues "maiasc" was established to try and withhold power and to try and divide the community. The community is behind the original wiki, and would like the copied wiki to be deleted as it contains information belonging to and created by the original wiki. -Stekay (talk)
 * Additionally I privately contacted one of the hosts of the copied (read: stolen) wiki, to get their point of view on the issues. I believe the founder of the wiki made reasonable claims for amendments to the contest, which were failed to be agreed upon by the now "maiasc" wiki hosts. No response was given to my arguments as to why a new wiki needed to be created, when both users failed to inform the community about the issues and instead took control by creating a new wiki, without any context given to members. I tried to mediate by saying both users should be allowed to continue in the contest should they delete the duplicate wiki, but they've failed to do so. There is a severe lack of respect towards the community here by attempting to sever it in two, a community that has existed through many issues for the past 3 years, ultimately returning to peace. This is however, a step too far.Stekay (talk)

Unfortunately, discussions between the two wikis ave been unsuccessful. The cloned wiki has no legitimacy and lacks support amongst the Maia Song Contest community. The Maia Song Contest is a community-orientated wiki: it is morally unnacceptable for a copy of our community to exist like 'maiasc'.-Nori (talk)

Pretty much everything was said by the three people above me: 99% of this community has chosen to back the original wiki instead of the doppelgaenger one, which has been created out of something that was blown out of proportion to begin with by its creators, who tried to seize power and force the wiki's founder out. The creators of maiasc are still trying to instill confusion and the deletion of the doppelgaenger contest would be a good thing for the community's cohesion. -AudiHugo (talk)

The community has backed the original wiki and the deletion of the maiasc wiki is the key to being a good thing in the community. -AshleyInSirens (talk)

I'm in complete support of what everyone else here has said, I feel the cloned wiki should be deleted, it being an exact replica of the original and thus aren't supported by the community of the original wiki. (talk)

It's unfair that the hard work put in by the original Maia Song Contest community has been undermined by a wikipedia page that copies all of their work, some of which without permission. I know that user SteKay has taken one of the pages he has created down from the "maiasc" wiki as it was stolen from the original wiki without his permission, but his changes were reverted and his page remains on the wiki and he no longer has permission to edit or remove the page. Although I have not attempted to remove any pages created by me from the original wiki that has been copied to the "maiasc" wiki, I do not appreciate that all of the pages I have created from the original wiki have been copied, even stolen, and put onto a wikipedia that I and many others do not support. -Quetriste (talk)

I've found some interesting screenshots where it appears that the creators of the duplicate wiki made an implied impersonation as owning the wiki (or being admin of it) when neither are true, and it seems this led to the wiki's creation. An error on Miraheze's part for allowing this in the first place maybe?

These are screen-grabs of the Miraheze IRC chat log;

I think this needs to be urgently investigated because not only did they backstab the community, they've also misled you guys.. -AuroraBorealis (talk) 23:48, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

I agree with everything that has been said here, especially with what the use Quetriste has said. I have put a lot of time into cultivating an original history of a made up country and I believe that this second wiki shouldn’t be allowed to exist. If the users that created the copy of the maia universe wish to create thier own contest then they should create it from scratch. They should not be allowed to use the clout that the Maia Song Contest has created through hard work that the user AuroroaBorealis has created. - support. -AdrianPosteraro (talk)


 * As a long-time user of the Maia Song Contest wiki and community, including being an administrator for an extended amount of time and being one of the most active users about a year ago, I can confirm that this is nothing but a malicious and petty attempt at stealing an entire wiki and song contest. The maiasc wiki is simply a copy created completely out of spite and vindictiveness. I have seen both sides of the story and I can easily say that the maiasc wiki was made just in order to upset the original creator, AuroraBorealis, because they could not reach common grounds on several issues. They have completely ignored the fact that AuroraBorealis is the original creator and has the final say in any decisions made on the wiki. To quote what user Quetriste previously said, "it is incredibly unfair that the amount of hard work put in by the original Maia Song Contest community has been undermined by a wikipedia page that copies all of their work. "


 * I agree with everything that has previously been said above. I truly hope you can all see the seriousness in this issue, as it has driven an entire community apart and led everyone into confusion. Stewen (talk) 07:40, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I would just like to note that I disgaree with the "An error on Miraheze's part" statement, as the staff members who responded on IRC were not aware in any way of the circumstances, as the question was simply "can I move a wiki" which is very vague, and usually refers to simply moving from another wiki site. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 19:53, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * If they were unaware, that's fine. I don't hold them responsible for the wrongdoings of the splinter-wiki creators, however going forward, it should be removed in recognition that this is nothing more than two users fairly removed from the community attempting to seize control of it to spite me. There is community-wide support to have the "maiasc" wiki deleted, and I hope that this is respected. -AuroraBorealis (talk) 20:49, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with what has been said above. Two (now former) members of our community turned against the founder and it seems to be universally agreed on within the community that the removal of these two has been fair. A lot of members have put a lot of work in the community which was founded 2 and a half years ago. I think it would be way unfair to have them copy all of this over in what seems to be an act of pettiness - in which they barely have any support from our community. I agree with all that has been said and hope that the nagging and wiki-copying can stop --Dutchball (talk)

Another member of the Maia Song Contest community checking in here, I was absent for much of the time period during which the original owner of the contest was allegedly misusing power however from the interactions I observed, the individuals who created the imitating wiki page are in the wrong and actions need to be taken - no party involved in this debacle is faultless, but some have blown it completely out of proportion by creating this fake wiki page. It's unnecessary, contributes nothing, and does nothing to further their point. --Kaz (talk) 10:39, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Checkuser request for suspected LTA accounts
Hi, I'd like to request for checkuser on suspected LTA accounts appeared on Usopedia. I suspect these are accounts created by LTA:KOSHIN, firstly because of the timing they were created, and secondly because of the similar names used by these accounts.
 * Special:CentralAuth/Reformationis
 * Special:CentralAuth/Reinformation

According to the log of account creation, these accounts were created almost simultaneously with other three accounts, which have all been blocked and locked for their vandal activities and/or inappropriate usernames (which show traits of LTA:KOSHIN), and their similarity suggests that these two accounts were created by a same person.

Thus IMO it's almost obvious that they are indeed the accounts of the LTA, but because of the fact that these accounts have done almost nothing so far and the names don't show obvious traits enough to (b)lock them, I'd like to request for checkuser to make it sure. Thanks as always :)-- 04:07, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Reinformation is identical to previous users. Reformationis does not appear to be related to anyone. あとまど may be related to Reinformation (and others), however, it's unclear based on technical evidence alone. -- Void  Whispers 18:42, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Having the forked Uncyclopedia exempted from the Dormancy Policy
Since it has over 6000 articles but not many edits (and now being official part of the Uncyclopedia projects), I'd like to have the forked Japanese Uncyclopedia exempted from the dormancy policy. I'm a bureaucrat and a sysop there with global contributions (making myself a valid requester for this). Thanks as always.-- 13:08, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, there is no such thing as being an "official part of the Uncyclopedia projects" as each wiki has its own Special:Interwiki tables and (often) its own web host - or they're scattered far and wide. One wiki might link to you while another might not - even within Uncyclopedia. Having "over 6000 articles" is also meaningless as a metric if this content was merely moved or copied from some other wiki. Carlb (talk) 15:30, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Templates won't update
To whomever it may concern,

On my wiki the Legion Libraries, templates do not seem to be updating. I am currently making many pages, so I simply wish to be able to see my progress as I do so. If there is a way to fix this, please do as such whenever you can. Many thanks!

 * Hi, this is an issue that is simply resolved using methods described in w:WP:PURGE. I'm not sure if there is an easy way to automate doing so, but if you need help with any of it, let me know. -- Void  Whispers 20:56, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much Shaunak Chakraborty (talk)
 * OK, I was first asked for it, and want to ask this question. Are there any ways to add lots of interwikis at once (something like nuke or mass rollback), because it will be like dozens of repetitive work and it would be much easier if I could do it mechanically?-- 14:45, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * P.S. And I personally think that  should be assigned for  instead, ain't I right?-- 14:48, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

 * I think that's due to update, which also happened in Usopedia. You can fix it from Special:ManageWikiPermissions on your wiki by checking  and possibly   if you want to allow users adding links.-- 11:41, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Checkuser on Usopedia
開拓者 has illeagal accounts 灌漑水路 and クールトレイン７７７. He is very malicious LTA and deploying Probaganda at each other UCP sites. He is LTA:KOSHIN and Usopedia had been manipulate by the same person. Please checkuser and lock these accounts.--ガノニマス・インヴェスティゲイター (talk) 09:56, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi.I'm cooltrain777,sysop and BC on Usopedia.
 * ガノニマス・インヴェスティゲイター was created 開拓者 and 灌漑水路 's block request on Usopedia.And his request reason is LTA:KOSHIN.But,開拓者 and 灌漑水路 and クールトレイン７７７(me) are Usopedia's sysop and BC. So,I think,ガノニマス・インヴェスティゲイター hate us.So,I think he is LTA.So,please checkuser ガノニマス・インヴェスティゲイター, too.:-) --<span style="font-style: italic; color:white;font-family:'Times New Roman';background-color:#0E046D;font-size:100%;">クールトレイン７７７ (cooltrain777) <span style="font-style: italic; color:black;font-family:'Times New Roman';background-color:#ddf;font-size:90%;">( Userpage / Talk page ) 10:25, 28 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I think this CU request made by ガノニマス・インヴェスティゲイター is merely a harassment against us, without any valid evidences. On the other hand, it might be useful to check ガノニマス・インヴェスティゲイター, because the user him/herself might be an LTA. I will lock this account for cross-wiki harassing against certain users.-- 11:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * CU is inconclusive, there's no obvious connection. -- Void  Whispers 19:12, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Checkuser request on suspected accounts
Hi, I'd like to request for checkuser on suspected accounts on Usopedia and Ansaikuropedia. They are:
 * Special:CentralAuth/.Trashes
 * Special:CentralAuth/りけっと

They have made votes against me within just an hour or so, and their only contribution is this vote on my user subpage (already reverted). .Trashes and Ekusuto1 were created on Ansaikuropedia probably only for this purpose. It's almost obvious that some kind of vandal or LTA is behind this (as these accounts are all listed here), but I wonder who it actually is. Thanks.-- 08:52, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Special:CentralAuth/未来切手
 * I'll add this account, as s/he seems to know what's inside our abuse filter, which only those who have experienced them would know.-- 11:00, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Merge users on nonciclopedia.org
First of all, I'll do a lot of requests like this because after moving our wiki from Wikia user need to get back their accounts but can't sign up with the old user names, so they have to create a temporary account and then merge it with the old. That said, the first request is to merge Revenant Lord temporaneo with Undead Lord, and than merge that with Revenant Lord (which is the final user name).--Wedhro (talk) 17:28, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
