New wiki
Yes, it was my fault for lack of time. But now I'm focusing mainly on just these wikis: nanatsunotaizai, tokyoghoul, thehushhushsaga; And the new one that would be shingekinokyojin

Wiki Request
Hey there,

I mistakenly requested a new wiki at a custom domain (request 3034).

Could I request that the domain be, rather, a subdomain styled as: overon.miraheze.org?

Thanks for your time.

All the best, -Veldias

Un lock on my wiki
Can you unlock me on my wiki nasa.miraheze.org or make the user chicken nugget the sysop and bureaucrat

Moderate-Rightpedia
thnx for sticking up for our wiki, against Rushwrj13...

hello.
please ignore rush. our group, in fact, has not vandalized his wiki since August. he just wants our site to get shut down. he claims we are hacking his site. the only thing we did was misuse a speedy deletion template, which a VSTF informed him of and even after that, he still didn't accept that, and is stalking us everywhere we go, trying to get us taken off of every platform. we do not plan our attacks or any fowl activities to any platforms, on Miraheze. All members of the wiki have not taken part in a raid since August as well. We do not vandalize here, nor have we intentionally violated any Miraheze or MediaWiki ToU. Thank you for reading, and have a good day.

Unable to contribute aging.miraheze.org
I requested for the adoption of aging.miraheze.org which was abandoned and I was asked to contribute over the week to claim ownership of it. However, the wiki is set with permissions so that only approved users prior can contribute, and since I was not one I cannot add or remove content from it. I hope the permissions issue can be resolved.

CVT Confirmation
Hi, per the recent reform RfC, this is notification that you are required to re-confirm your position from CVT to Global Sysop. Please submit a request on Requests for global rights before 11:00 UTC on Tuesday, May 26th. If you do not open a confirmation request before then, it will deemed that you have resigned your role. Thank you, John (talk) 10:44, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Custom logo help
Hey! I have added a custom logo as a favicon and all other options too, but the place where the logo should be is EMPTY. Can you help me? Here is the link to my wiki and logo: https://bttmbooks.miraheze.org/wiki/Main Page/en and https://bttmbooks.miraheze.org/wiki/File:BasToTheMax.jpg or https://static.miraheze.org/bttmbookswiki/thumb/7/ 78 / BasToTheMax.jpg / 600px-BasToTheMax.jpg
 * That could be a cache issue, please wait a few minutes and then reload the page. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:17, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Text Logo
Please tell me that how can I apply this type of text logo or icon like Wikipedia in my wiki: https://en.gyaanipedia.co.in file Shaunak Chakraborty (talk) 20:52, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I've taken the liberty of modifying your message to make the file not display here as it was very large and made the page lag. As for the issue, I will have to look into that and get back to you. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 09:11, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
 * To cite a photograph rather than display it on a talk page, begin the filespec with a colon: ....  Likewise to cite a category rather than including the page in that category.   12:04 11-Jun-2020

CoCC reform
I edited your evolving RfC with a suggested rewording of one proposition. Separately, to abolish term limits, I wouldn't replace the text with anything. My state's constitution contains a platitude setting out the preferred attitude of "future legislators." It's meaningless and has led to a lot of drama. 12:01 11-Jun-2020
 * Thanks for the reword, your wording is more clear and makes more sense! Will just make one small change to make it clear that local actors also include IRC operators (which cannot be considered "sysops" really). Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:11, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Am eager to vote for this RfC. We don't need a committee to investigate every act of misbehavior. We need a rulebook, plus the CoCC committee to hear appeals, apply the rulebook, and ensure we are using principles and consistency. However, I'll vote against your first proposition because, again, it is a platitude, not a rule. We don't need to vote to agree on a state of mind, and it's not clear what changes if we do agree. 19:11 13-Jun-2020
 * I'm not opposed to the idea of a Code of Conduct Commission, but given the member volunteers are all either system administrators, co-founders, or stewards, it's kind of more or less redundant and, thus, not needed. If we're having trouble electing volunteers to serve on the Code of Conduct Commission (as an aside, I would volunteer), then that suggests it's not really wanted and, perhaps, any final ban or block appeals could just be referred to CN for the community to discuss, with closure by an uninvolved steward? In such a case, the steward should appropriately discount the "oppose" !votes that are either without merit or merely because they believe (falsely) indefinite blocks are permanent blocks and somehow "need to be respected." Likewise, the steward would also appropriately strike confirmed or probable sockpuppet (including meatpuppet) "support" votes. Dmehus (talk) 20:12, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Valid topics for debate, but neither one within the scope of this RfC. Reception was not reconsidering the existence of the CoCC but merely proposing to change the point at which it would get involved; and he didn't propose to change its decision criteria.  Yes, in general, votes that aren't authentic independent voices should be discounted.  Votes that are based on irrelevant prejudices should too, but who's to say?   02:33 14-Jun-2020

Reception123, it strikes me that elastic clauses have snuck back into your Proposal 1.2.
 * The Proposal (generally re-styling the CoCC as an appeals board) here gives it the power to make an initial request, of "global or local sysops, as well as any other groups mentioned in the Code of Conduct." I presume the Code of Conduct already specifies who can initiate action and your Proposal doesn't propose to change this.  If so, much of the text can be gotten rid of.
 * Similarly, the Proposal sets out a list of punishments, ending with, "or other sanctions." The listed sanctions may be good examples, but they are included in the last item.  (Bottom line, "Any punishment might happen.")  Again, I don't think your Proposal aims to change this at all.  The Code governs Conduct, including cost of misconduct.  If you just state your Proposal and don't try to set out the complete resulting state of affairs, things will be simpler.

What's left? The Commission does not have the right to initiate discipline, but may by majority vote ask any group authorised by the Code of Conduct to do so.  20:46 14-Jun-2020
 * Yes, I saw that, but I was thinking that if we're going to have a Code of Conduct Commission, that it may also want to be empowered to also be a neutral, or supposedly neutral, arbitrating body to initiate discipline (there are several use cases for this, but the obvious one would be when two stewards or global sysops disagreed on whether to or for how long to locally or globally block one someone; another use case could be arbitration enforcement-type sanctions at English Wikipedia. Also, this is part of my rationale for my proposal 1.6(c). Dmehus (talk) 21:16, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Moving a wiki to a Custom Domain
I was looking into moving https://hololive.miraheze.org/ into a custom domain that I have added an SSL certificate to, https://hololive.wiki. I was trying to understand the process in https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Custom_domains, but each link there leads to a form for SSL *creation*, and I'm unsure how to proceed to have the wiki moved to my desired domain. Is there perhaps a newer help page or form that I am missing? Catman504
 * I haven't looked at that form specifically, but don't worry too much about the specifics of whether you're requesting a new SSL certificate or requesting to use an SSL certificate you've created, but in looking at that page, it looks like that's the correct form. Is it a Let's Encrypt certificate you've created? Whether it is or isn't, just put as much detail into that Phab ticket you are creating (i.e., that you've already created the SSL certificate and from which certificate authority you used), and a staff volunteer will follow up with you with any additional details they need to activate it onto your custom domain.
