Request for a private abuse filter wiki
Hi, please use TestWiki for this purpose. Unfortunately we can't accept requests for a wikis dedicated to testing except under exceptional circumstances as we prefer the use (or reuse) of wikis where ever practicable to keep resources available for other wikis and reduce load and maintenance for our services. Thanks, John (talk) 15:49, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The issue with that is testwiki is public and has contributors. The filters I would be testing would be enabled with more than just log-only at some point, and therefore the other users there could unintentionally trip them and have actions taken. The benifit of a private wiki would be that I could purposely trip the filters to test them, but no one else could, either intentionally or by accident.
 * Filters can be marked as private. The effects of a filter (log-only, blocking, revoking rights etc.) don't really affect the filter itself. You can test them on testwiki in log-only mode and then when moving them over to your wiki just add the relevant necessary actions. John (talk) 17:41, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Wiki created
Hello, I would like to tell you that I have created your wiki. You can now access it at https://elements.miraheze.org. You should automatically have been granted administrator and bureaucrat rights, if that's not the case then please leave a notice on Stewards' noticeboard so we can fix it immediately. Do not hesitate to ask questions if your question was not answered in our FAQ. Also, if you want a extension, gadget, or anything else, please ask us here. Thank you for choosing Miraheze, and we wish you good luck with your wiki! Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 08:52, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Removal of content in general
Hi. I've noticed that in the past few weeks you've removed different things from Meta (such as a comment made by an administrator, a whole request, another comment and a user from a list). I am aware that you are mean no harm, but please understand that removing comments made by other users, if they are in your favor or not is unacceptable. On Meta, all discussions are kept, even if they are unimportant, closed or no longer needed. If you feel that you are being insulted you can bring that up on a discussion page or email staff@undefinedmiraheze.org but please do not remove content from talkpages without a good reason or explanation for it.
