Deletion of one of your wikis
Hi, I would like to tell you that I have deleted scumbobwiki, which you requested, because it turned out to be a duplicated request of another wiki requested earlier than yours. Please use it instead.-- 12:40, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Just FYI the sling on wiki already exist here --Cocopuff2018  03:44, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi DuchessTheSponge,

I noticed a couple relatively minor issues with your transcluded signature, now at User:DuchessTheSponge/sig, which are itemized in turn.


 * User signature file location. Per established social norms and customs on Meta, users' transcluded signature files are located typically as subpages of their own user space, not in Template: namespace. MrJaroslavik originally moved it to User:DuchessTheSponge/DuchessTheSponge as we weren't yet sure whether or not this template was for a userbox or a user signature. Now that you've signed several talk page, user talk page, or noticeboard posts with it, we know that it is, so I have kindly moved it to User:DuchessTheSponge/sig and updated the transclusions, purging the page caches on each page on which it was transcluded. Please go into your preferences, under the signature section, and update your signature to reference your signature file's new location
 * Talk page, user talk page, and noticeboard signature guidelines. Please remember to sign all talk page, user talk page, and noticeboard threads or posts with four tildes, not three tildes, to include a crucial timestamp for our bot. I've made the corrections for your recent posts, and manually added it for you
 * Upcoming signature rule changes with MediaWiki 1.35. When MediaWiki version 1.35 is publicly released as a production, stable build and deployed on Miraheze, Extension:DiscussionTools will be concurrently deployed, too. One of the consequences of that extension is that there will be changes to the signature rules, and your signature will now be required to include an internal wikilink to either (a) your user page or (b) your user talk page. A small number of Meta users will likely be impacted by this change, so I am proactively reaching out to users as on Meta as I see them, and your transcluded signature does not link to either. While it's fine now, you will need to update this once MediaWiki version 1.35 launches and is deployed on Miraheze, along with the DiscussionTools extension.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding either of the above. :)

Cheers,

Adoption of fanfiction.miraheze
Hi Freighttrain here, sorry I didn't contact you earlier about this, though there has been no harm done and do not worry this is not an attempt at takeover, I have adopted this wiki due to it's previous closure caused by inactivity, as well as my desire for there to be a place for people to be able to post their fanworks without the hassle that other wikis are known for.

Could you please reply to let me know of your stance on these recent happenings, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 11:25, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello again, could you please reply so that we can discuss the fanfiction.miraheze wiki, you are still listed as an administrator there and it doesn't feel right either just leaving it like that or altering your user status without having first received your standpoint on the matter, so could you please respond soon, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 11:11, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This is very thoughtful that you have reached out to like this following your successful adoption. Hopefully they will be able to reply to you soon, either here, or on the local wiki. Dmehus (talk) 17:02, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes I was not able to contact DuchessTheSponge beforehand, as editing on that wiki was not possible because it had been closed due to inactivity, and I didn't think to try and find them here to let them know prior to this, but after my successful adoption of the fanfiction.miraheze wiki it did occur to me that they might be here, though I first contacted them on their local talk page there after it reopened, but it does seem they were recently active here so yes hopefully they will reply soon as the current arrangement feels awkward. Freighttrain (talk) 09:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the update. While I am okay with you modifying my comment above, I just thought I should give you a head's up that I do not believe Echo notifications work with MirahezeMagic interwiki wikilinks or even interwiki wikilinks at all. In effect, it just becomes a wikilink to one's user page on another wiki without the ping/Echo notification. In fact, I'll test this right now. Reception123, did you get this ping? Dmehus (talk) 12:16, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean by Echo notifications or ping, I only altered it so that it linked to my only userpage here at the time, but I just made a meta.miraheze userpage and changed back the notation at the beginning of your first message, as it now actually links to a userpage of mine. Freighttrain (talk) 16:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Echo notifications are when you get notified when your user rights are changed on a wiki, someone thanks you for an edit you made on a wiki, or someone mentions you on a page or in an edit summary or log action (i.e., bell and inbox icons). Most of the mentions in log actions, edit summaries, and pages take the form of the bell notifications, but I believe they're all Echo notifications. Dmehus (talk) 17:36, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * In that case I would ping DuchessTheSponge but I noticed you've already done so here. Freighttrain (talk) 19:03, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Adoption of fanfiction.miraheze
Hello again, Freighttrain here, again could you please reply regarding this because you are still listed as an administrator there, as the current arrangement feels awkward and doesn't feel right either just leaving it like that, or altering your user status without having first received communication from you on this matter, so could you please respond soon, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 09:19, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Can you help me on mywikipedia.miraheze
I could use more contributors to mywikpedia.miraheze.org. --Iron Sword 22 (talk) 18:32, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know about that. -- 07:45, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Here's the link. https://mywikipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page --Iron Sword 22 (talk) 19:47, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey DuchessTheSponge how come you replied to their message and not mine? Freighttrain (talk) 04:08, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Personally, I don't really care if you own one of my wikis now. 05:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, ok well it's just that at the User Rights screen my admin/bureaucrat account is unable to change your user rights as a bureaucrat on the fanfiction.miraheze wiki, I don't know if that is something that only you or a Miraheze admin can do, or if it means you are some kind of Miraheze bureaucrat with those user rights on all wikis. For now I'll just change your administrator user rights there to see what happens, as that option is not greyed out like the bureaucrat one.
 * Though if at some point in the future you do become interested in an active role on the fanfiction.miraheze wiki, let me know and I will add administrator to your user rights there. Freighttrain (talk) 06:11, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * If wishes to resign his   bit on that wiki, you can request a steward do this on stewards' noticeboard. Alternatively, if your wiki has established local inactivity policies, ideally established through a consensus process, stewards can engaged to remove the   bit from inactive bureaucrats in accordance with your local policy. Hope that helps.  Dmehus (talk) 14:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'll have a look at that noticeboard you mentioned since DuchessTheSponge has said they are not interested in the fanfiction.miraheze wiki. Freighttrain (talk) 17:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello again, it has been a while now and no stewards have gotten around to my request about 's bureaucrat rights on my wiki, I've even e-mailed them but still no response yet, btw thank you for continuing to relist my request on the steward's notice board, though are you confident that if you were to directly message a steward on their personal Disccussion page, they would promptly reply and fulfil my request? I'm pretty sure it would only take a few clicks to do so on their side, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 17:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reminder. I'll message a steward right away to see if they can remove the rights, and link them to this request and the SN request. Dmehus (talk) 17:31, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks, a steward has sorted that out for me. Freighttrain (talk) 17:58, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Batmanpedia
Hello! I've been on-and-off contributing to Batmanpedia, but the wiki is now locked. Could you unlock it for me so I can edit more? Thanks! --Amelia (talk) 01:25, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * First, (Please sign your posts on talk pages by using four tildes like this: .) . Second, to your question, I assume you mean Batmanpedia? Assuming that's the case, this wiki is currently closed per Dormancy Policy, so you have two options. The first is that DuchessTheSponge could reopen the wiki and grant you   and/or   rights on the wiki. The second is that you could make an adoption request at requests for adoption, taking care to sign your post with four tildes . A steward will reopen the wiki in about one week, after which they will give you 1-3 weeks to contribute to the wiki constructively and grant you   rights if successful. Hope that helps.  Dmehus (talk) 01:31, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

I need to talk to you
About my blocks, I know we discussed this before, but I want to be unblocked on some of those wikis, because well for the reasons we have discussed before and also because of what Dmehus said about local wiki policies. Or at least the ones that I didn’t do anything wrong on, and the ones that I plan to make contributions on: The others I don’t really care much about because I was not planning to make contributions on any of those. And the latter three I have contributed to but haven’t done anything wrong on, whereas the former three I didn’t do anything wrong on and I plan to contribute there in the future.
 * Amazing YouTubers Wiki
 * Best Music & Songs Wiki
 * Delightful Music & Songs Wiki
 * Fresh Websites Wiki
 * Great Characters Wiki
 * Loathsome Characters Wiki

And again, Remember what Dmehus said about local wiki policies.

Also I prefer that you do not put block summaries like “no” and “get out” as that doesn’t really convey the reason for the block, and for the latter it can be considered harassment.

Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * There. I've unblocked you. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:26, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

We really need to talk about this
I noticed that you blocked me again for having an “unpopular opinion” on Rotten Websites Wiki. First of all, it is NOT an unpopular opinion: Multiple users have actually called out Encyclopedia SpongeBobia’s poor administration. Also, again, I NEVER TROLLED ANYONE ON THESCUMHOUSE WIKI!!! Ironically, you are the one who coordinated the vandal attacks. This is abuse of power and if we don’t reach a compromise soon stewards will have to get involved. Not only that, it is just plain disrespectful to act like ESB is a good wiki despite everything I went through there. You are the only person singing the praise for Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, and you have been hating on me since the very beginning. I don’t even know where this all started, but many users, including you, seem to have a very biased view of what happened. Let me offer the clearest explanation: I am not innocent, but neither are you, and neither is all of ESB. I am not going to stand by and let everyone ignore all of the atrocities ESB has committed and health problems it has caused people Would you like me to show you some examples of the drama and poor administration, because I have a ton of proof that ESB is truly the deranged place that I say it is:
 * https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/ESB:Requests_for_deletion/House (WoofWoofGam3r blackmailed Mavnol333 into voting keep on this useless page. And why did users vote keep? Because they thought it was funny).
 * https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Blubabluba9990/School_%26_My_Activity (users celebrating my retirement)
 * Any deletion request for Smashed potatoes that look like Squidward is just filled with arguing.
 * https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Robski10/I_may_be_retired_soon (Robski10 calls out ESB being a shell of it’s former self)
 * https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Idroppedmypen (several of her blogs are off-topic)
 * And most of all, the way I was treated. All of the proposals that I made and blog posts that I made are plagued with drama and users saying mean things.
 * Nathan Pirate vouching for me: https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Nathan_Pirate?threadId=4400000000000187928

Honestly your treatment of me and the horrible torture I got in ESB just makes me question: Who is really the troll? The victim defending himself, or the cyberbully who started it all. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:57, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

I know I'm not Duchess but I will respond to your points

First of all, if people want to vote keep, they can and I'm pretty sure Woof wasn't actually black mailing Mavnol, just making a deal with him, two very different things. Alright, I have to admit that we could of handled that better but you were causing some bad things on ESB that I'm not really surprised if that's how the users feel. Well Yeah but that's not out fault, the person who made the requests are at fault. BRUH! You literally did that too and he's not saying ESB is bad, he's saying that UCP is bad. So what? we can make off topic blogs if we want to. The topics of your proposals and blogs were literally causing harm to other users, of course they are going to start drama. Don't see how that's a problem but good for you. Tronyboy03


 * I have responded to your key details, please think about them. Also, if it does start drama, that does mean your proposals are harmful and you have to learn from them. Tronyboy03


 * Well I was treated very badly there. I don’t know who you are, and I know you are not SpongeTron D since he goes by Orangeboy2003 here, so just so you know impersonation is against the rules. And you also seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding. Yes, those proposals did accidentally cause drama, but I am not the only person who has caused drama there. Also, they did not do any “harm”. You seem to be very misinformed of the situation, and judging by both your demeanor and the fact that SpongeTron D already has an account here, like I said above, it seems as though you are impersonating him. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:14, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * My mistake, seems like you are actually Orangeboy2003. But I feel like you, as well as many other people, seem to be ignoring key details. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:15, 12 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I have responded to your key details, please think about them. Also, if it does start drama, that does mean your proposals are harmful and you have to learn from them. Tronyboy03


 * The drama was not caused by me entirely. My proposals were not malicious, and many other users were causing drama. I am tired of people trying to put the blame on me and only me, and also constantly whiteknighting ESB. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 22:14, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Well the reason I messaged Duchess was because he keeps on reverting my edit removing ESB from the list of “great wikis” on FANDOM’s page on Rotten Websites Wiki. And even though the drama is over, ESB is not a great wiki anymore and yet Duchess thinks that is an “unpopular opinion”. Blubagate may be over, but that still doesn’t make ESB a good wiki. At least not anymore. It used to be good until Golfpecks256 left the administration there. ScumBob Wiki also used to be good until Golf made that policy. I don’t know why but it seems like SpongeBob themed wikis are cursed. In this instance, Duchess is wrong for whiteknighting ESB. Also, it isn’t just that: In the block summary he also accused me of trolling on TheScumHouse Wiki before it shut down, when that never happened, and he is also the one who is responsible for it shutting down since he orchestrated several vandalism attacks and mutiny attempts there, as well as successfully turning Ilikespongebob1/Lana Loud is in the House against me. Vandalism is never okay, no matter the cause. And I admit I did make some mistakes there, but my hatedom kept on making a mountain out of a molehill by claiming that I had malicious intent while in reality everything, including my proposals, was in good faith and just sort of descended into chaos because of ESB’s toxic community. And talking about Blubagate is just beating a dead horse at this point, yet Duchess still seems stuck on my mistakes on FANDOM. I feel like my block on Rotten Websites Wiki was unfair because Duchess blocked me out of personal reasons rather than me doing anything bad. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:57, 14 March 2021 (UTC)


 * You're saying people are constantly whiteknighting ESB while you're actually whiteknighting yourself. Look I admit that ESB isn't that great anymore and I do appreciate the fact that you said that you weren't entirely innocent and I'm sure other users do too, it's a good start but it can't just be that, you actually have to explain why what you did was wrong and how you could manage on what to do better.

Ownership Request Of Golden Memes
, seems as of your wiki is closed by SporeShroom2007, but I am wondering if I could receive ownership of the wiki, since the wiki may get deleted. The wiki seems to be amazing, so you can transfer the rights to me. If not, that's fine. Wiki JS  talk  17:21, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
