reopen didaprowiki
Hi all, I red that our wiki which was in standbye for team decision reasons could have been deleted, could you help to verify if I could reopen it and get back some works ? Here my last register https://didapro.miraheze.org/wiki/Accueil Thank you Philippe https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Wikiderpdp

Can you delete this inactive wiki?
So there is this wiki called horrid reception wiki where it is completely abandoned. The admins are inactive, nobody has edited anything and some of its other wikis are shut down completely. But there is this one user who is "contributing" to the wiki by just changing the names of the inactive users, and not creating pages or editng them. Not to mention that the wiki was very controversial and had a lot of flame wars and harassment. It's best to just delete the wiki. If its other wikis can be deleted, then so can this. Thank you.

The wiki: https://horridreceptionwikis.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Other wikis that were deleted, but were also in relations to the wiki: https://flawlessfandomusers.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page https://receptionflamewars.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

The user who does nothing but changes the names of users: https://horridreceptionwikis.miraheze.org/wiki/User:%E9%96%8B%E6%8B%93%E8%80%85
 * The user you mentioned is actually a steward, he just changes usernames via request. Also username renaming works like this that if you visit a wiki and request a name change, it shows up on the log. --Hendicted (talk) 07:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

but can you delete the wiki? if not is there a way for me to adopt it? btw im not an admin of the wiki, but i want to adopt it


 * To make things clear. First of all, Stewards are not only meant to "just change usernames" they have a much broader role which you can read about on the page that I linked. Secondly, the wiki that you mention is neither closed nor marked as inactive due to the recent renames that you mention. Lastly, since the wiki is marked as private you would not be able to adopt it anyway per the Dormancy Policy. And in regards to deletion, that will only be done once the time defined in the Dormancy Policy has passed, or if the wiki community would request it. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:23, 28 March 2020 (UTC) ok thank you

Database error; multiple wikis and accounts; unable to log in
I get the following error — Database error A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. [hex code] 2020-03-29 TIME: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError" — when I try to log into my private wikis, marwiki and nilamwikiubzx217c40wiki. Logging in has already failed many times over almost two hours for both of two Miraheze accounts I have, Drnslyng and Kualeyi522912. Both have at least the Administrator role on nilamwikiubzx217c40wiki and Drnslyng is at least an Administrator on marwiki. Unfortunately, I can't use Phabricator for this bug as I hadn't already linked an account to Phabricator and when I try to do so, the same error occurs.

Is there a way I can regain access? Thanks. — 138.75.123.25 03:48, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Morning, Is this still occuring? If so, could you copy the full error including what you’ve blanked as [hex code]? It’s that code that identifies the error in the logs. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  04:09, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't saved any error code, but there seems to be no problem now. In retrospect I realise it's a bit ridiculous to leave out the code, so sorry. - Drnslyng (talk) 04:34, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

dormancy - coming
Dear Steward, sorry for dormancy. I couldn't input time in the wiki creation these last weeks. As i will have some labour prior to publish to outside world, i do not need avisibility for a couple of weeks. But please keep the wiki running, at lrast private.

Thanks on forward.

I would like to adopt an un-closed wiki
I was thinking about becoming active on Lousy Fanfictions Wiki, and I was wondering if I could adopt it; I know it isn't closed, but the founder hasn't edited in about two months. I know it may take a while for this to be answered so I will edit on the wiki whenever I can. There are no other active members, though DuchessSponge5000 recently edited. It never hurts to try, and I promise to be benevolent and just. Also, if you want a reason for why I want to, well it's because I like the wiki and I wouldn't want it to be forgotten. WickyHoney (talk) 05:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

I have been editing on it for about a week (about an hour less than a week). I will gladly wait longer, eagerly awaiting a response. I just thought I'd mention this. Also, I don't intend to stop. Have a good night and day. WickyHoney (talk) 05:13, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Delete cristianopedia.miraheze.org
Hello, I request the removal of my Cristianopedia wiki. I'd like to start over with my blank wiki (I will request its creation later). Cristianopedia (talk) 13:56, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

RfC procedure, not for the first time
Today I criticized User:PiotrGrochowski‎ (banned) for presuming to rewrite the premise of an RfC after users had voted on it. This inspires a separate issue, though: The page is not a Request For Comment; it is a Request For Vote, a ballot. Piotr thought it should be structured differently (RhinosF1 replied that a positive statement, with a chance to agree, disagree, or abstain, is how they have worked forever, and I agree). But as a matter of procedure, there was no opportunity for an idealist with a new concept of balloting to intervene. (There are many more relevant pre-ballot objections to a ballot.) That is, perhaps there should have been an actual RfC, before there was a ballot! that being, on what the wording of the ballot should be. Some ballots, if subjected to this process, would be proved unwise and never progress to a ballot at all. Reception123 has heard me previously suggest that a chance for feedback and cooperative editing should precede the submission of a ballot; he advised me to write...an RfC. Am still not ready, nor senior enough, to tell you what your procedure should be, beyond planting this seed of change. 00:36 3-Apr-2020 Cc:
 * Well improvements can definitely be made to the current RfC system. However, a chance for feedback and cooperative editing is already possible. Before opening am RfC, it is completely possible for you to ask for comments on Community noticeboard and to first make a draft RfC. Additionally, an RfC is also not only limited to the initial proposals, and users can choose to add as many new proposals as they wish if they don't agree with the premise of one of them. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:32, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. A conscientious member would indeed publish his intentions and open a page for cooperative editing. A junior or impatient member just springs it on the community as an RfC, at which point we enter our current jungle of cooperative editing during/after votes! I'd have the RfC period last a week and require less than a majority to progress to a ballot to see if advocates can persuade people, as a motion merely requires proof that it's the wish of more than a single person in order to open general debate. 21:31 9-Apr-2020

Merge users on nonciclopedia.org
Hello, the following users need to be merged into old accounts: Also, I'm still waiting for an aswer to this issue: the page Italia disappeared after moving; the history is still there but I can't delete and restore it because it's too big, and downloading/reuploading it didn't work.--Wedhro (talk) 15:41, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Special:CentralAuth/Pagliacciotemp -> Special:CentralAuth/Pagliaccio
 * Tonywhite1985 has been done. The final username is TonyWhite. Pagliacciotemp has been done, the final username is Pagliaccio. Not sure about the page yet. -- Void  Whispers 16:45, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The page Italia has been restored. -- Void  Whispers 16:48, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Trolls
Here's some vandalism-only accounts: Sjwsrule and Sjwisgreat. I believe Ultimatelifeform is also a sockpuppet of this troll due to the identical vandalism style. When one of you guys have the chance, please lock these accounts and their other sockpuppets I potentially missed. --Seewater514 (talk) 00:25, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Void  Whispers 01:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Another Troll
There's a user called IDontShipDudes vandalizing numerous wikis, please lock their account ASAP.

Another thing, some users are suspecting that this user is a sockpuppet of a recently blocked user on a bunch of wikis called RoboticJeffy, can you check to see if this is indeed a sockpuppet of said user? --Seewater514 (talk) 04:06, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Account locked. A Steward will have to do a CheckUser. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:58, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Wiki with one inactive bureaucrat
Drillimation (bureaucrat of Dream Logos and Fiction Wiki) is inactive since January 25, 2020. Can I become a bureaucrat of Dream Logos and Fiction Wiki then drop bureaucrat rights for Drillimation? --TanardoLoud (talk) 11:42, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * If there is an active community (and even if there is not), there needs to be a sort of community election or poll in order to elect a new bureaucrat. -- Void  Whispers 16:16, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Can you globally lock General 180 please?
He just sent me a xenophobic message against my country on deviantart Proof:https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/611333234311168000/696577943471652935/Screenshot_20200406-113140_Chrome.jpg -- Ramadhan1a (talk) 14:24, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I’ll remind him about conduct off wiki but issues like this should ideally be taken up with the CoCC. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  14:26, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * That wasn’t intended to be xenophobic. How about if somebody ever sends you an objectionable message again, you just calmly try to reason with whomever sent it to you?  Sorry if you interpreted it differently than what I meant, and you can message me on Discord if you have any questions. Signed - General I80

Are these new accounts all the same user?
What appears to be a set of related userIDs were created within a minute of each other on All The Tropes, which raises a question whether they're from the same user. Another account created a few minutes later seems to be related to the batch, as well. Could somebody run a Checkuser on them, please?

The accounts are "TheAdventuresOfTheDessert3", "TheAdventuresOfCureParfait", "TheAdventuresOfCureMacaron", "TheAdventuresOfCureChocolat", and (created a few minutes later) "Friendship Is Happiness"

--Robkelk (talk) 13:06, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I got the timing wrong. "TheAdventuresOfTheDessert3" was the one created a few minutes later; "Friendship Is Happiness" was created an hour and a half later. --Robkelk (talk) 15:51, 7 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Similarly, could someone please run a Checkuser on Lilly3, Lilly5, Lilly54, Lilly66 and LillyBear -- all created within the last few days on All The Tropes? Thanks. -- Looney Toons (talk) 15:25, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Another Lilly, "LillyRycroft", has shown up. Can someone please check on these and the "Adventures" crowd Rob cited above?  Thank you.  -- Looney Toons (talk) 12:56, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
